MARCO Grand Rounds for January 22, 2017

From Warren KD4GUA:

BRUCE KM2L brought down the rafters last week with his lecture on "Dietary Recommendations." He will continue the discussion this week.

Some startling facts....In Sweden, 70,000 in egg eating study---no increase in mortality....hi simple sugar intake raising the blood sugar rapidly has a detrimental effect on the sclerotic arteries.  Increase in dairy intake, 2800 subjects, less likelihood of developing heart disease.  [KM2L note: Actually, the decrease is in the incidence of diabetes. There is some evidence for a protective effect on heart disease, but this is more "iffy."]

Trans fats illegal in the U.S. as of 2018. Bruce would rather eat butter than margarine.

Let's hope Bruce can keep the ball rolling--should be another winner, tune in.
