"Cholesterol And Heart Disease - Just a Myth? A Review of Uffe Ravnskov's The Cholesterol Myths: Exposing the Fallacy that Saturated Fat and Cholesterol Cause Heart Disease August 21, 2008 Reviewed by Chris Masterjohn Uffe Ravnskov's 2000 book The Cholesterol Myths was a blockbuster among skeptics of mainstream health and nutrition dogma. With the heavy credentials of an MD, PhD author, the book formed the impetus for a resurrection of once-popular cholesterol skepticism that eventually led to the formation of The International Network of Cholesterol Skeptics in 2003, of which Ravnskov is the spokesman."

CLOSE LOS ANGELES - Even before all the talk of Carmelo Anthony joining the Clippers came up, Chris Paul had a message worth sharing when it came to his embattled team: he's as confident as ever that they're title contenders.

Vitamin K2 is produced by animal tissues, including the mammary glands, from vitamin K1, which occurs in rapidly growing green plants. A growing body of published research confirms Dr. Price's discoveries, namely that vitamin K2 is important for the utilization of minerals, protects against tooth decay, supports growth and development, is involved in normal reproduction, protects against calcification of the arteries leading to heart disease, and is a major component of the brain. Vitamin K2 works synergistically with the two other "fat-soluble activators" that Price studied, vitamins A and D. Vitamins A and D signal to the cells to produce certain proteins and vitamin K then activates these proteins. Vitamin K2 plays a crucial role in the development of the facial bones, and its presence in the diets of nonindustrialized peoples explains the wide facial structure and freedom from dental deformities that Weston Price observe

In 1945, Dr. Weston Price described "a new vitamin-like activator" that played an influential role in the utilization of minerals, protection from tooth decay, growth and development, reproduction, protection against heart disease and the function of the brain. Using a chemical test, he determined that this compound-which he called Activator X-occurred in the butterfat, organs and fat of animals consuming rapidly growing green grass, and also in certain sea foods such as fish eggs.
