Health Buzz: Mummies Show Signs of Heart Disease and Other Health News

Reader Comments

Back to article

Heart disease was unheard of or rare a century ago. Cancer too. Heart Disease is blood vessel disease, which is caused by cholesterol, Fat. Your body can't handle it, and it settles in your blood vessels, plugs them up. ANIMAL FOODS are the only place you get cholesterol. So we have some brilliant people who think meat is the only way to be STRONG! Carl Lewis is a Vegetarian, and many many other athletes. But hey, we have enough stupid people in the world, so keep eating...the stuff.

And Mr. Brilliant, people who they exhumed, were rich, well off, they were the only ones with the money to be put in monuments, mummified.

So much for the college education.

I'm not a bit surprised. I never bought into the "modern diet" theory. Hard-working American farmers have been dropping dead from heart attacks for 2 centuries now. All I can say to people is to enjoy your life. Thoroughly.

Life expectancy, peoples size, etc have all been attributed to nutrition. Also I have no idea what the person who talked about the food industry spin is smoking but people who don't eat meat and exercise a lot still die of heart Disease. In almost the same numbers at almost the same age. I feel bad for people who trap themselves in a bubble of ignorance. This is not to say there are not issues with red meat or other dietary choices that can cause issues but to sit and say that it was because they were rich and didn't exercise without knowing wether these mummies were servants, or 'royalty' since they mummified both is incredibly biased.
