 What studies have shown is for every 1 percent that you raise your HDL cholesterol there's 2 percent reduction in cardiovascular risk for heart attacks and strokes from cardiovascular causes in men. A 2 percent reduction in men and a 3 percent reduction in women. Say a 50-year-old man's HDL is 36. We get it up to 40, which is about a 10 percent increase. That would translate to a 20 percent reduction in risk.
Mike: That reduction in risk blows away a lot of prescription drugs in terms of efficacy, right?
Goodman: Absolutely. |

 Your article implied that the study found no protective benefits for women taking antioxidants, when in fact, the study found a significant reduction in the risk of stroke (31 percent reduction) and heart attacks (22 percent reduction) for those women who actually took the antioxidants. This is even more substantial given that the antioxidants were provided in low doses and only taken every other day.
The absence of protective benefits was observed in those women who did not actually take the vitamins. (Those women who took no vitamins experienced no benefits, which is expected. |

 Compared to a control group, the rats fed black raspberry extract showed a 60 percent reduction in tumors of the esophagus and up to an 80 percent reduction in colon tumors.
"That's a much higher reduction than I thought we'd see," Stoner said, "This suggests that berries bind up a good portion of free radicals, preventing them from causing damage in the body."
Black raspberries are rich in vitamins A, C, E, and folic acid and contain the minerals selenium, zinc, and calcium. |

Goodman: Absolutely. Now, we know that lowering LDL is very important, not to minimize that. It's very, very important. In people who've got heart disease, we want the LDLs down to the 60 to 70 range. The studies have shown us that. |

 Its most recent data do indicate a reduction in carbon disulfide air emissions. By 2002 they were below a third of what they had been ten years earlier. Part of the reduction may be accountable, indirectly, to the phasing out of freon. For a relatively brief period spanning the 1970s and 1980s, carbon disulfide was a major raw material for the manufacture of such ptopellants.78
This "success" in reduction of catbon disulfide pollution relates to the current amount reportedly released into the air annually: only thirty million pounds or so. |

 If you include only the women who complied with taking the vitamins on a regular basis, the results increase substantially and become quite significant with a 31 percent reduction in the risk of stroke and 22 percent reduction of risk in heart attacks. In other words, those women who actually took vitamins E and C experienced substantial benefits from doing so. Those who neglected to take the vitamins, not surprisingly, had little or no benefit.
Pushers of pharmaceuticals, of course, want to make vitamins look bad. So they quote the results that include people who never even took the vitamins. |

 These are the same scientific minds who have been advising President Bush on environmental policy over the last several years and who have convinced the President to announce a greenhouse gas emissions reduction plan that essentially offers no reductions.
Which is sort of like writing a recipe book that lists no ingredients. Or riffing on stage with rock band Linkin Park and then realizing you're only playing the air guitar. Bush is clearly playing air guitar with environmental policy, and he's jamming out tunes that nobody else can hear (because they only exist in his own head). |

 Adventists who ate legumes such as peas and beans 3 times a week had a 30 to 40 percent reduction in colon cancer. Adventist women who consumed tomatoes at least 3 or 4 times a week reduced their chance of getting ovarian cancer by 70 percent over those who ate tomatoes less often. Eating a lot of tomatoes also seemed to have an effect on reducing prostate cancer for men.
Drink plenty of water.
The AHS suggests that men who drank 5 or 6 daily glasses of water had a substantial reduction in the risk of a fatal heart attack?0 to 70 percent—compared to those who drank considerably less. |

 What we want to do first and foremost is reduce your current exposure to toxins, then we will clean your biological house. This reduction process will begin to alleviate the toxic strain that your body is enduring and that may be causing underlying problems now or in the future.
Below are specific ideas to consider that will help you achieve a reduction in toxic exposure. Remember, do not feel you must complete all these steps or attempt all the techniques today. Do what you can given your personal needs and resources. |

 Regular nut consumption has also been associated with a reduction of all causes of mortality.29
But now we get to the question that's probably on your mind. How can we recommend nuts on a diet that's geared for weight reduction? It does seem counterintuitive. But the truth, perhaps amazingly, is that studies have shown that people who eat nuts regularly actually seem to have lower body weight than those who don't eat nuts.3" How can this be explained? |

For every one percent that you lower LDL, you get a one percent reduction in risk. |

 It means that if you take high-quality calcium supplements and get lots of natural sunlight exposure or take premium vitamin D supplements (such as those made from fish oil), you could easily have a greater reduction than the 77 percent reduction recorded in this study.
American Cancer Society opposes vitamin D
This research on vitamin D is such good news that the American Cancer Society, of course, had to say something against it. |

 Advertisements to doctors and patients will claim, for example, that a drug offers a 33 percent reduction in the risk of heart attack, without explaining that in actual fact you may have to take the medicine for five years in order to lower your risks from 3 percent to 2 percent. As Bob and James explain each time they give their lecture, in relative terms that is a 33 percent reduction. In absolute terms that's a I percent reduction, from 3 percent to 2 percent. Several studies have shown that people are less likely to take a drug if they are given the absolute figures. |

 The trial was attempting to measure the reduction of arterial plaque in the carotid arteries, and this reduction was measured by a high-tech ultrasound imaging technique called intravascular ultrasound. The measurements from the study were murky and unreliable. Some were "biologically implausible," meaning the images were showing things that could not possibly exist in a human body. |

 By adopting this very gradual reduction in the amount of nicotine intake every three weeks, it fools the body into adjusting to a gradual reduction of its addictive requirement. In addition, part of the program calls for taking a teaspoon of cream of tartar powder in a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice (not concentrated or processed) each evening before going to bed. This helps to remove nicotine from the body. |

 The EU's fifteen core members, which signed the Kyoto Protocol in 1997, committed to reducing their emissions by 8 percent by 2012; new members committed to reductions of 6 to 8 percent (excluding Cyprus and Malta, which have no reduction targets).27 Now the EU was placing this effort at the heart of European diplomacy. "There are some ideological differences between the approach of the Bush administration and that of the European Union [on climate change]," the EU's representative Magnus Gislev explained. |

 A reduction to that level, as shown by both animal experiments and human statistics, would be a significant reduction in cancer risk."8
As a young medical student in 1950, Wynder had prodded the chain-smoking Evarts Graham into studying how smoking affects lung cancer. Wynder was the opposite of the studious, introverted scientist. He not only produced major scientific studies on tobacco in humans and the cancer-causing impact of tars in animals, he also made sure that anyone he met knew of his considerable accomplishments. |
