13 Nutrition Lies That Made The World Sick And Fat
13 Nutrition Lies That Made The World Sick And Fat - Business Insider:3. Saturated Fat is Unhealthy
For many decades, people have believed that eating saturated fat can increase the risk of heart disease.
In fact, this idea has been the cornerstone of mainstream nutrition recommendations.
However, studies published in the past few decades prove that saturated fat is completely harmless.
A massive study published in 2010 looked at data from a total of 21 studies that included 347,747 individuals. They found absolutely no association between saturated fat consumption and the risk of heart disease (19).
Multiple other studies confirm these findings… saturated fat really has nothing to do with heart disease.
The “war” on fat was based on an unproven theory that somehow became common knowledge (20, 21)."
Hey, it's "free"....you gotta problem wit dat? -----Top Hospitals Opt Out of Obamacare?
"The U.S. News and World Report has more bad Obamacare–is there any other kind?–news:
The nation’s top hospitals may not accept many Obamacare policies.
From the story:
Americans who sign up for Obamacare will be getting a big surprise if they expect to access premium health care that may have been previously covered under their personal policies.
Most of the top hospitals will accept insurance from just one or two companies operating under Obamacare.
Will President Obama call these institutions “bad apples” as he has insurance companies that followed the “law of the land”–aka, his “signature achievement”–and canceled millions of policies that people liked?
Good grief."
DOH!!!! Detroit auction as bad as Detroit city-Packard Plant's first-place AND second-place bidders are as flaky as the rest of the city
Packard Plant's second-place bidder has not paid | Detroit Free Press | freep.com:"Time is running out for the second-place bidder in Wayne County’s auction for the old Detroit Packard Plant.
As of noon, Chicago-area housing developer William Hults had yet to wire the $2.2 million to back up his bid, said David Szymanski, the county’s chief deputy treasurer.
He has until the end of the business day.
Hults has a history of outbidding his bank account. Last month, he failed to deliver on his promise of a $1 million payment for the Packard site to consummate what was an exclusive, pre-auction deal with the county.
If Hults doesn’t pay today, the roughly 40 acres of industrial wasteland could fall into the hands of Spaniard Fernando Palazuelo, who finished third in the property’s tax foreclosure auction with a bid just over $2 million.
On Wednesday County officials gave up on the auction’s first-place bidder, Texas doctor Jill Van Horn, after she didn’t make a $2 million down payment on her winning $6 million bid."
What a marvelous vision for Detroit! ---------Packard's new top bidder plans luxury hotel and mixed-use, manufacturing space
Packard's new top bidder plans luxury hotel and mixed-use, manufacturing space | Crain's Detroit Business:"Bill Hults, the latest possible redeveloper of the Packard plant site, said the overall investment of his Packard Detroit LLC for the site could be between $750 million and $850 million to turn it into a 120-room "very, very high-level hotel" with about 750-plus loft residences, dining and commercial space.
Hults was the second-place bidder in Friday's auction sale of the site; earlier today, a $6.038 million sale of the plant to an investment group including Texas doctor Jill Van Horn was canceled after the group failed to make a down payment by noon.
Hults' bid was $2,003,000; that payment will be due to the county on Thursday.
Joe Kopietz, the Clark Hill attorney representing Packard Detroit, Hults' development entity, said the plan also includes light manufacturing space.
Hults said he was told the property could be valued at $1.65 billion when it's complete."

We know where you live------Drones: A rare glimpse at sophisticated US spy plane
BBC News - Drones: A rare glimpse at sophisticated US spy plane:"The Global Hawk is one of the US military's most sophisticated spy planes and the BBC was able to get a rare view of one at Grand Forks Airbase in North Dakota.
It can travel half-way round the world on a single tank of fuel and can can track a man on the ground, even when the earth is covered by cloud, from a height of about 18,000m - that's close to 60,000ft."
Can We Finally Stop Pretending?
"The president is incapable of telling a truth, and what conservatives have been predicting for three years about ObamaCare has been entirely correct.
Indeed, we haven't seen anything close to the worst of what is to come, since the system hasn't even begun to function in its utmost state of disarray and confusion.
We've seen a website and estimates of premium and deductible figures which have been panic-inducing all on their own.
There is not one single fact about this monstrosity that has been truly presented by the president, and his law, its destruction of lives and fortunes, and the pattern of fraud that have accompanied it rest solely and squarely on the Democratic Party.
They did this to the United States of America and they did it on purpose."
Obama Has Presided Over 5 of 6 Largest Deficits in U.S. History
Obama Has Presided Over 5 of 6 Largest Deficits in U.S. History | CNS News:"In fiscal 2008, the last full year that George W. Bush was president, the deficit was $454.798 billion.
Even when adjusted for inflation, the $680.276 billion fiscal 2013 deficit is only exceeded by one pre-Obama deficit--the one the U.S. government ran in 1943, during the height of World War II.
That year, the deficit was $54,554,000,000--or $738,367,890,000 in inflation-adjusted 2013 dollars."

South African Teacher Fired After Taking Students to Get Penises Pierced:"JOHANNESBURG - A high teacher at Willowridge High School, east of Pretoria, has reportedly been fired after he took three students to have their penises pierced.
The unnamed teacher has been on paid suspension since earlier this year and had been awaiting a disciplinary hearing for a series of controversial actions - actions that include taking three schoolboys for Prince Albert piercings, having his own penis pierced in front of the teens, taking one youngster for a tattoo and giving the boys pasta shaped as male genitalia."

Much-Abused Food Stamp Program Can And Should Be Cut Responsibly - Investors.com:"By now, you see, Obamanomics was supposed to have left the U.S. economy enjoying a Keynesian cavalcade of prosperity.
Instead, in spite of the weak Obama "recovery," the number of food stamp recipients soared from 28.2 million in 2008 to 46.6 million last year.
The Center for Retirement Research at Boston College warns the failure of poverty to decline with economic growth, as is the norm, was observed in the last decade too. This is an ominous sign that government dependency is becoming a way of life for many."

This a great explanation-US #1 in Oil: So Why Isn’t Gasoline $0.80 Per Gallon?
Guest Post: US #1 in Oil: So Why Isn’t Gasoline $0.80 Per Gallon? | Zero Hedge:
"To sum up why the price of gasoline is so high even though the US is producing so much more oil than before:
-The high cost of American oil production
-Even higher costs due to imported (non-Canadian) oil
-Obama not allowing cheaper Canadian oil to flow to the refineries via pipelines such as the Keystone XL
-The taxes on crude are used to fund Obama's green dream—his green-energy "legacy"—and his love for ethanol and the taxes at the pump will not decrease"
......................................Let's take a look at who the US buys the imported oil from.

Dumping democrats helps but union still successful in wrecking Michigan's business climate-Michigan economy improving, but state falls short of top 10
Michigan economy improving, but state falls short of top 10 | Crain's Detroit Business:"Thanks to the elimination of the Michigan Business Tax and the shift to the Corporate Income Tax, the state's corporate tax climate has risen from second worst in the nation to the seventh best.
It also found that per-capita GDP, per-capita personal income and employment have grown more than most of Michigan's peer states since 2009.
But despite the improved business tax climate, on average, the report found businesses pay more to operate in Michigan than in top-10 states.
..The bulk of those costs to do business consisted of labor costs, which the report found were 15 percent higher in Michigan than the top-10 average.
Holy crapoli! Everyday there's a new "revelation"! ----The Secret No One is Talking About Buried In Obamacare

POINTS AND FIGURES: The Secret No One is Talking About Buried In Obamacare.
Obamacare is a total fail. It’s too clunky. They didn’t exactly use Lean Startup principles when they wrote the bill.
One of the goals of Obamacare which I agree with in principle is to separate employment from health insurance. Tying them together creates all kinds of poor economic incentives.
But, the ACA law is littered with even worse economic incentives. One of them is mobility.
Obamacare will cause people to freeze in geographic location.
Insurance companies cannot compete across state lines, so your policy is only portable within your state. That’s bad for economic development. A person now has to deal with 50 sets of rules, 50 exchanges. Obamacare didn’t solve the problem.
There will be people that stay in place because of insurance costs from one state to the next. I have looked, and personally for me my costs of insurance go up exponentially when I move out of state.
In our old broken healthcare system, employers would pick up the difference. As our society transitions to an independent worker society, and insurance isn’t tied to job, individuals will be forced to pick up the cost.
Instead of opening up competition, Obamacare shuts it down. One of the great facets of the United States is that each state competes with the other. If one state passes bad laws, and restricts freedom, people can pick up and leave to go to another state. If an industry shuts down, people can leave and pursue opportunity somewhere else.
Obamacare makes that highly difficult.
So many layers of disaster here. It’s like peeling an onion of fail."
