Well folks they’ve almost got it right. Thank God they’ve finally published a study illustrating what us in the fitness industry have been preaching for years.

Increased intakes of flavonol-rich foods may reduce the risk of stroke by 20%, according to a meta-analysis involving more than 110,000 people.
"We showed for the first time, to our knowledge, that flavonol intake was inversely associated with stroke incidence," wrote the Dutch researchers, led by Dr. Peter Hollman, an associate professor of nutrition and health.
"We conclude that evidence is accumulating that flavonol intake is inversely related to different cardiovascular disease outcomes," they added.

Processed Meat, Not Red Meat Per Se, Linked to CHD, Diabetes
Lisa Nainggolan
May 18, 2010 (Boston, Massachusetts) — The first study to systematically separate out the effects of red unprocessed meat from processed-meat products has shown that eating the former is not associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease or diabetes [1].
But eating 50 g of processed meat per day–the equivalent of one typical hot dog in the US, or two slices of deli meat–was associated with a 42% higher risk of CHD and a 19% increased risk of diabetes, say Dr Renata Micha (Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, MA) and colleagues in their paper published online May 17, 2010 in Circulation.
Thanks so much to my family, friends, clients and fans for the well wishes. With your support it was the best b-day ever! I love you guys!
