Wonderful piece and very insightful. The American Heart Association is in my opinion little more than an instrument of Big Pharma.

Their solutions to most problems are usually limited to cut it out or drug it.

I don't believe this study at all. A few years ago, I believe it was the AMA and the AHA significantly lowered the blood pressure levels considered to be normal or dangerous. Thus dramatically increasing the number of "patients" who suddenly needed medication. Nothing like adding 25 million potential patients to your list overnight.

Keep up the good work!
