Preface: Is It Kind?

Air pollution and specified junk food (SJF) increase daily morbidity and mortality. Improvement and reversal is possible - especially concerning nutrition - ambient combustion aerosol more difficult - as shown by decades of  professional journal findings presented in book and on the MCS Etiology website. But it began early - a regular guy - having consumed lots of SJF. Bisquick, batter, waffle iron, - golden brown - fill in holes with melting butter, powdered sugar, maple syrup - multiple portions - does nutrition matter? A small amount of added fat and oil sludges blood components impairing fine capillary circulation for 72 hours.

Bisquick, commercial bread, pizza dough - refined wheat dilemma: 7-10% of whole wheat carbohydrate - fiber and digestion resistant starch (RS) - reaches the large intestine having escaped small intestinal enzyme digestion. To reduce bulk - bran and germ are milled out - and caloric density further increased with oil and sweetener. Though strains have evolved - dating back some 10,000 years - modern whole wheat (high fiber and RS) contrasts with brown rice digestive comfort - no need milling to white rice or adding empty calories.

SLAVIN 2003: "...Whole grains are composed of germ, bran, and endosperm. In contrast, refined grains lack both the germ and bran, which are removed during processing and results in the loss of fiber, vitamins, minerals, lignans, phenolic compounds, and phytochemicals..."

Drug consumption is a great detriment, but will mention here only the two most popular: alcohol involves liver damage, central nervous system depression, and impairment of fine capillary circulation; caffeine is a central nervous system, cerebral, and heart muscle stimulant - as are two other xanthines - theophylline (in tea) and theobromine (cocoa).

Coffee produces systemic inflammation (>200 ml raises IL-6, CRP, SAA, TNF alpha, and WBC) participating in metabolic syndrome: obesity, decreased insulin effectiveness, insulin resistance - impairment of acute glucose management, abnormal coagulation processes, and ischemic heart disease (Moisey 2008, Zampelas 2004). Coffee - caffeine partly responsible - raises homocysteine levels associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk (Verhoef 2002). Homocysteine is an independent risk factor for dementia and cognitive impairment without dementia (Haan 2007). Coffee is a risk for low bone mineral density and osteoporosis - caffeine and phosphoric acid (colas) interfere with calcium absorption (Tucker 2006). Polyphenols in coffee, cocoa, black and herb teas inhibit zinc and non heme iron absorption (Hurrel 1999, Coudray 1998). Caffeinated coffee adversely affects fetal length and skeletal growth (Bakker 2010) and causes aortic stiffness and wave reflections impairing ventricular function and together compromise coronary blood flow, predispose to ischemia, and by increasing pulse pressure - pulsatile stretch the arteries leading to mechanical fatigue of their elastic components. Manifesting as increased systolic pressure, increased pulse pressure (and especially central pulse pressure) and reduced diastolic pressure - aortic stiffness and wave reflections are independent predictors of cardiovascular disease risk. Coffee and black tea cause aortic stiffness and wave reflections - but green tea wave reflections only - maybe due to protection from flavonoids (Viachopoulos 2006, 2005).

Among those over 65 without severe hypertension (high blood pressure) the more caffeinated beverages consumed the less mortality from cardiovascular disease - possibly because countering postpandrial hypotension (after meal low blood pressure) - however, no protection against cardiovascular disease under 65 and cerebrovascular disease in any age group (Greenberg 2007).

Caffeinated beverages - stimulant - may counter some junk food consequences - caffeine cessation best gradual - keeping in mind diet quality.

The book 8.5 by 11 lay flat coil or comb bound design puts lots of information in view - the MCS Etiology website has the text posted in several forums - studies conveniently linked throughout.

Thinking cap and best wishes, Mike
