Consumption of fruit, coffee, chocolate and wine may reduce risk of metabolic syndrome by up to 23%
Medical Xpress / FAPESP / The Journal of Nutrition | Feb. 20, 2025 | Maria Fernanda Ziegler / Renata A Carnauba et alA diet rich in produce such as grapes, strawberries, açaí, oranges, chocolate, wine and coffee can reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome by as much as 23%, according to the findings of a study involving more than 6,000, the largest in the world to associate the effects of consuming polyphenols.
Yummy. In about an hour I’m having a couple of fresh strawberries with about a pound of cool whip on top.
Note this came out about a week after most American women just binged on Wine, strawberries and chocolate.
Fake news…bourbon didn’t make the list.
Finally, medical advice worth following.
Okay, the list is a good start. But get serious with your food!
If you’re going to eat vegetable oils, limit them to olive, avocado and coconut
Don’t forget lard pie crusts.
And bacon. Mmm. And roast pork. Mashed taters and gravy. Fresh green beans with butter and garlic. Conebread w/butter and honey.
Hot Boysenberry pie. Or Wild Blackberry and Pacific Huckleberry pie. Pucker your face right up. Drown it with melting vanilla ice cream.
And I had fish for dinner. Get out.
If your metabolic is being syndromed is that serious?
Good morning,
The old editors of the American Journal of Epidemiology would not accept any article for publication if the RR (Relative Risk) was less than halved or doubled (the 23% cited above is far from a doubling). The reasoning was that piddly-ant effects were unlikely to replicate.
The barbarians (boomer scientists) tore down the ethical walls that prevented us from rushing pell mell down blind alleys when great hordes of them started seeking tenure. The ethical walls held up until that generation of scientists started retiring in the 70s.
By ethical walls we mean “…don’t publish anything that would make John Ioannidis caper and preen” when it fails to replicate… Remember that John famously said that most research findings are false!
