New Link Identified Between Tart Cherries And Risk Factors For Heart Disease

More crap intended to harm you financially while helping them pocket your bucks.

"New research continues to link tart cherries, one of today's hottest 'Super Fruits,' to lowering risk factors for heart disease. In addition to lowering cholesterol and reducing inflammation, the study being presented by University of Michigan researchers at next week's American Dietetic Association annual meeting, found that a cherry-enriched diet lowered body weight and fat - major risk factors for heart disease."

Here is a rule of thumb. Anytime you see a food item preceded by the modifier "Super," you are being scammed. Do not buy the stuff expecting it to do what the press release or MSM story claims.

There is, however, a pit of truth in the rotten fruit above.

It is the "today's hottest" con part. The truth is that all this trash talk about food is temporary. Give any of it a while and new data will supplant the old.

And the new data are likely to be less enthusiastic.

So who put this s**t out?

"The study was funded by the Cherry Marketing Institute, which provided an unrestricted grant to the University of Michigan to conduct the research and was not directly involved in the design, conduct or analysis of the project."

And where do they suggest you go for more misinformation about this pit-i-full bull?

Don't choose the industry party line.

Choose to be smart instead.
