> LinkadgeLink, I really appreciate your ability to analyze the evidence, but damaging the heart? I feel that's quite a stretch. If you look at incidence and mortality stats, there is no anomaly in the trends for heart disease. I think that over-availability of food is a rather large confound for your hypothesis.
What are you doing to yourself with your cocoa experiments?
In the most detailed analysis, I damage my heart by breathing. Every day, my heart ages a little more. Should I stop breathing?
I really appreciate your precautionary stance. I have done some very demanding thinking based on your conjectures and conclusions. But I see depression itself (correlations with hyperhomocysteinemia, atherosclerosis, et al) as the damaging agent. Depression damages the heart.
