Home: Nutrition, Health & Heart Disease; Cause & Prevention PS-3 The American College of Cardiology in 2004: "... there is no evidence for a total mortality benefit in women from dyslipidemia [statin] treatment." Women: 3 more deaths on Zocor and 2 more heart 'events' on Lipitor in large studies (4S, ASCOT). In 24,000 women over age 50, those in the lowest 25% for cholesterol had the same risk for death (+60%) as those smoking! PS-4 Out of 1/2 million U.S. men at 'prime heart attack age', the top 0.8% for cholesterol [~292 (7.5)] on anti-cholesterol absorbing drug for 7.4 years (and 1/8th less "bad LDL" compared with dummy drug) but no difference in survivors; count them: 3. And, oeps: in 65,000 men with 2700 deaths, those with least cholesterol [below 187 (4.8)] had most deaths! Fever indicates infection but sitting in ice water won't kill the microbe. 'Cholesterol', insulin, sugar and blood pressure are also indicators, think: excess junk carbs, lack of micronutrients and artery decline in progress. Above minimal '6' homo-cysteine is the indicator for your personal lack of most B vitamins. But unlike cholesterol, homocysteine corrodes (permanently damages) all proteins. It is also a poison pill in cholesterol transporters (LDL droplets), making 'cholesterol' actually become 'bad' -as do trans fat and oxidized cholesterol from foods with egg or milk powder. Homo-cysteine above 6 μmol/L [a 'modern' diet and not taking a multi] is the main reason for heart disease and also for it running in families. Multi-vitamins slash homo-cysteine, keep arteries open and thin and flexible and help avoid heart surgeons. A BMJ study: '..there is still only .. inconclusive [sic] evidence of the effects of modification of total, saturated, monounsaturated, or poly-unsaturated fats on cardiovascular [disease and] mortality.' Here's a 2006 JAMA disease summary: the futility of eating 'less fat'. Incidentally, hydrogenation of oils, most industrially refined foods and heart attacks are something of the last 95 years [text for graph]. We explore heart disease as a recent multi nutrient deficiency problem, starting with omega-3 oils, magnesium, folic acid and vitamins B6 and B12.

Pig industry sustains livelihoods of many families in Kenya. Pig rearing has been one of wellestablishedindustry in Kenya following growing export markets and increasing number of health conscious consumers. Pig production if efficiently managed has great potentials for increasing protein supply in Kenya. Smallholder pig farms in Tharaka-Nithi County have been facing varying and dismal profits. The main objective of this study will be to establish which institutional arrangements and management factors affect the profit efficiency of small-holder pig farmers in Tharaka-Nithi County. A multi-stage purposive sampling technique will be adopted to collect cross sectional data of eighty (80) smallholder pig farmers in Maara Constituency by the use of semi-structured interview schedules. The work will employ Data Envelopment Analysis to come up with profit efficiency rankings among the farmers and stochastic frontier profit function will be used to analyze the factors that affect profit efficiency. The data will be processed using STATA and DEA Frontier packages. The findings could be useful to the stakeholders of the pig industry sub sector to formulate policies pertaining to pig enterprise inputs, marketing issues and financial products and also can establish benchmarks which can be used as a package for enhancing and stabilizing profit efficiencies of smallholder pig farmers which in turn could help improve the Kenya economy. An Overview of Livestock Sub-sector in Kenya Perspectives, Opportunities and Innovations for Market Access for Market Access for Pastoral Producers Recent statistics point that the livestock sub-sector in Kenya accounts for approximately 10% of the National Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This is 30% of the agricultural GDP. It employs about 50% of the national agricultural workforce and about 90% of the ASAL workforce. 95% of ASAL household income comes from this sub-sector. This is despite the fact that the sector receives only 1 % of the total annual budget allocation. The livestock resource base is estimated at 60 million units comprising of 29 million indigenous and exotic chicken, 10 million beef cattle, 3 million dairy and dairy crosses, 9 million goats, 7 million sheep, 0.8 mi camels, 0.52 mi donkeys and 0.3 million pigs. (Strategy for Revitalizing Agriculture (SRA) 2003) Kenya is broadly self-sufficient in most livestock products but is a net importer of red meat mostly inform of on-the-hoof animals trekked across the porous boundaries of neighbouring countries- Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Uganda and Tanzania. Livestock supply in Kenya results from a complex set of interactions between Kenya and its neighbours and the traditional Middle East market and their respective livestock populations, demand and market prices. Kenya is part of a regional market where livestock flow according to markets and price differentials in a liberalized system throughout the region as a whole and where Nairobi represents a focus of demand for the region Supply of red-meat from domestic cattle, shoats and camels falls short of demand, and is almost permanently augmented by a traditional livestock trade drawn in from neighbouring countries, especially Somalia, Tanzania, Sudan and Ethiopia in varying quantities according to demand, which maintains a supply/demand [1.6MB]SIJAAMINI WEMA SEPETU ANACHOKIFAYA HAPO KWENYE HII VIDEO BOFYA UONE
