Does any one know where i can find stats that include team totals for inside 50 (and perhaps inside 50 against) for 2009?

Thanks

After all ben cousins was delisted for recreational drug use.

These are not performance enhancing drugs.

If the players must submit to recreational drug testing, why not those that sit in their ivory towers as well?

We wouldnt want a drug addict running this multi million dollar industry, now would we?

Why, when your 30 year old captain steps down from the position saying

"“We are a young and emerging side and the timing is right for generational change",

would a 33 year old be even considered for the position????

THe results from the ENHANCE trial have finaly been released. we now know y the delay and attempt to change the endpoint These results are further proof that cholesterol does not CAUSE atherosclerosis.

After 2 years those taking Zetia plus Simvastin had 17% (absolute) greater reduction in LDL than those taking simvastin alone (or 29.31% hogwash relative). Yet, and I quote

"There was also no statistically significant difference between the treatment groups for each of the components of the primary end point"

The end point was the amount of atherosclerosis. Also

" there were no differences in cardiovascular events between the two groups in the trial"

Reducing LDL by taking Zetia did not reduce degree of atherosclerosis or cardiovascular events

This falls into line with the TNT and Japanese Lipid Intervention trials.

How much more evidence do people need that cholesterol is only ASSOCIATED with CHD, not a CAUSE.

Will you take this pointless drug?

Will you prescribe this poinless drug?

Every one "knows" that a high fat diet negatively effects our blood lipid profile. So should Dr Roger Blumenthal (Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease, Baltimore, MD) be sacked for this misleading statement?

'The "low-fat-diet message" has also become ingrained in recent decades, and this may have led to greater consumption of sweets and carbohydrates, which would also tend to drive up triglyceride levels and decrease HDL'

Carbohydrates causing high triglycerides and low HDL. Surely not?

Have India backed themselves into a situation where they have to play two spinners on the pace friendly perth wicket

They cant drop their captain and after all thats happened can they drop Harbhajan?

Do people find it worrying that 34% of people on lipid lowering therapy have a "normal" lipid profile

http://www.totallipids.com/total_lipids/totallipid...

What can be read into a trial where everybody had "normal" cholesterol levels, everybody was giver some lipid loweing drug, yet there was still 1 cardivascular event for every 12 people.

Surely if cholesterol was the cause of heart disease we would expect much fewer cardiovascular events in a group of people without high cholesterol, and still getting cholesterol lowering drugs?

"Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury,

Every year thousands of people succumb to heart disease. Standing before you we have the number one suspects, Cholesterol and Saturated Fat. It is the intention of this court to prove, BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT, that Cholesterol and Saturated Fat are responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent men and women each year"

Can this be done?

Can you provide evidence (not hearsay) to prove beyond reasonable doubt that cholesterol and/or saturated fat are the cause of heart disease?

or,

Can you provide evidence in defence of cholesterol and saturated fat?

Let the trial begin...

Why do people think that because the majority believe something, it must be true? Is it really too much to ask that people think for themselves?

What would have happened if Christopher Columbus had just accepted that the world was flat as every one believed?

Where would we be if Galileo had not questioned conventional thinking of his time. If you are one of the people who display blind faith, are you aware that;

It was once considered OK to cut up animals, esp dogs and cats alive with no anaesthesia, as every one believed they had no soul?

It was once considered a medical fact that masturbation caused insanity?

Thalidomide was once considered so safe that "Even a determined suicide could not take enough Contergan to cause death" ?

Not that long ago the medical establishment believed that diet and stress were the sole cause of stomach Ulcers.?

Maybe some of the more intellectually endowed can add to the list?

Why is it, that when Weston A Price travelled the world in the 1930's, studying isolated peoples, that he found virtually no tooth decay amongst those living a traditional lifstyle. He also noted that they all had perfect jaw structure, with no crowded or crooked teeth.. Given access to ancient skulls in South America, he found the same thing. Why did these people not suffer the same dental problems so rife today?

As everyone knows, atheroscleropic plaque contains cholesterol, so this must mean that cholesterol causes atherosclerosis, and therefor heart disease.

So, why did a recent study in Germany show that those people who lived near a busy road have much higher rates of atherosclerosis?

Are they breathing in cholesterol in the exhaust fumes, or perhaps, is there actually something else that causes atherosclerosis??

In answering a question of mine recently, someone by the name of Andee wrote;

"..who have had a buildup of plaque containing cholesterol on the sides of their arteries who had to have a physician go in and scrape the plaque off the sides of the artery to allow blood to flow more freely"

I was wondering if Andee, or anyone else who knows of this procedure could tell me what the name is and how it is preformed. I am keen to learn more about this, please.

Do you advise people that saturated fat and cholesterol causes heart disease?

If you can't answer this question then you have no right to hand out this advice, as you do not know what you are talking about.

I've posted this question before, but no one could answer it, yet people continue to advise people that saturated fat and cholesterol is bad for your health.

If you can't answer this question how could you make these claims?

My question is this.

A lot of people here are handing out advice based on saturated fat and cholesterol causing heart diseas. What I want to know from these people is how in fact saturated fat and/or cholesterol leads to heart disease.

Before you answer, consider these facts;

*Fats, or lipids, as well as cholesterol are carried around the bloodstream encased in Lipoproteins. The lipids and cholesterol are ONLY handed out to cells that 'ask' for them, by way of a specific receptor. No receptor, no exchange.

*The lining of the arteries, the endothelium, is a non stick surface, designed to allow blood to flow freely, with nothing sticking to it

*When something does damage the endothelium, lipids and cholesterol are amongst the last things to be deposited at the injury site

http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/6...

*The composition of fatty acids in arterial plaques is 74% unsaturated, of which 41% are monounsaturated

Is It to;

A: Ensure AHA policy always involves promotion of their products and pushing theories that support the use of their products?

B: Ensure that AHA policy promotes dietry advice that ensure an ongoing need for their products?

C: To ensure that AHA policy promotes diet and lifestyle choices that make their products unnecesesary, thus causing a big decline in profits and dividends to shareholders?

Could someone please tell me what the difference between good and bad cholesterol is, and why one is good and one is bad. I thought that was only one type of cholesterol.

My dwarf cavendish banana plant develops very large bunches of bananas. Just before the are due to start ripening they fall over. I water them every second day and they are fed cow manure.

Any Ideas???

For the 50 odd years or so the official line on diet has been to to replace animal fats with vegetable oils and eat more grains. In this time animal fat comsumption has dropped while vegatbale oil and grain consumption has risen. Yet heart disease, diabetes, cancer and depression have risen, at an increasingly alarming rate.

So, can someone please tell me the mechanisms as to why fats are so bad for you.

I dont mean 'because they make you fat' or 'because they cause heart disease'.

What I am after is proof of, and an explanation as to how they cause the damage they supposedly do
