23 nutritional factors were found to be moderately/strongly associated with heart disease, but . . . saturated fat was not one of them In 2009, researchers from McMaster University undertook "a systematic review of evidence linking a wide variety of nutritional factors and heart disease", analysing 146 research studies involving millions of people over a span of 60+ years. Their results were published in the Archives of Internal Medicine . Analysis of results of 21 epidemiologic studies (look for associations between things) showed that there is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease, stroke or other cardiovascular disease. Results published in the Jan. 2010 Journal of Clinical Nutrition. 5-23 years of follow-up of 347,747 subjects determined that only 11,006 developed CHD or stroke. Consideration of age, sex, and study quality did not change the results. A Medical Research Council survey showed that men eating butter ran half the risk of developing heart disease as those using margarine Nutrition Week, 1991 As heart-disease rates skyrocketed in the mid-1900s, animal fat consumption was actually going down. While vegetable oil (with its inherent excessive omega-6 content) was being consumed in dramatically increasing amounts.
Some "Special Case" women need an initial 2-3 month loading doseIn any of the following situations Dr. John Lee
recommended a higher dose of
PROGESTERONE
in
the first 1-2 months of using
PROGESTERONE
cream -
to help
to replenish the depleted
PROGESTERONE stores in the body's fat. After a couple months the dose can
be lowered to the usual dosage.
- Women who have had many
months or years of cycles with no ovulation, which can create extreme
PROGESTERONE deficiency -
Each cycle that passes without
ovulation can increase estrogen dominance as
PROGESTERONE stores are depleted .
- Very thin women -
who have little body fat can become estrogen
dominant very easily as there is no fat
to store extra PROGESTERONE
- Women with PMS -
You need a higher dose of
PROGESTERONE for the first month or two because of the high
CORTISOL level
competing with
PROGESTERONE
Loading dose: 1/4 teaspoon
2x daily (Total 40mg / day) for two weeks before your periodRegular dose: 1 /8 teaspoon 2x daily (Total 20mg / day) for two weeks before
your period
Women using
estrogen
supplements
Dr. Lee had the opinion that there is no reason for a woman who is still
menstruating to take estrogen - if you supplement
PROGESTERONE ,
then reduce your
estrogen dose by half and
gradually taper off it completely.
