So i get this newsletter from some rogue Dr. that is interesting, actually i first subscribed because of an article in favor moderate natural tobacco use (not inhaling). pretty interesting facts. anyway he's way out in left field and i don't believe all his stuff, but its like investing in stocks. . if 10 analysts have a strong buy on a stock and 1 has a strong sell, you're probably better off reading that 1 strong sell report. anyway here is his recent blurb. the guys name is WC Duglass if anyone cares.

(Another) victory for the former Prez

As you may have heard, news services everywhere are reporting
that former President Bill Clinton recently underwent quadruple
bypass surgery at New York's Westchester Medical Center — just
in the nick of time before a potentially catastrophic heart attack.
According to his doctors and various news outlets, the 58-year-old
former Commander-in-Chief (whose love of fast food and carb-
heavy, sugar-saturated southern-fried cooking is well documented)
is recovering well after this traumatic procedure.

All politics aside, I say: Best of luck and get well soon.

According to the AP and other sources, Clinton wants to resume an
active lifestyle as soon as possible — including jogging, which
he's been doing more and more in recent years. Well, that's
exactly what he should do if he wants the fastest possible trip to
that Big Election in the Sky. No, if Clinton wants to have a real
shot at avoiding more of this same kind of scalpel-ing later on, he
should skip the jogging and instead give up some of that "down
home" cuisine.

That means taking his bacon and eggs without the gravy-soaked
biscuits, his steak without the "chicken-fried" breading, and
skipping his much-loved dessert altogether. Apparently, the former
President is already taking steps to curb his sugar and carb vices,
telling the AP and others that he's embraced a variation of the
South Beach diet (not as good as Atkins, but better than KFC).
Good for him…

But there's one "vice" he definitely SHOULDN'T give up: Cigars.

Even though his cardiologists will urge him to stop smoking, he
should continue to fire up the premium stogies he loves, especially
during his recovery period. Why? Because they're good for him —
from both a stress management and physiological perspective. As
I've said before about a jillion times, research shows that moderate
consumption of pure, unadulterated tobacco offers real health
benefits — especially for those whose diets are less than perfect.

In fact, I'd go so far as to say that if Clinton hadn't been puffing
those Cubans all along (come on, he's a former President and Fidel
loves him, so I'm sure he can get 'em), he might've suffered a
catastrophic heart attack long ago. That's right: Cigar smoking
probably SAVED HIS LIFE…

Love him or hate him, you gotta envy the guy's luck, huh?

Sounds Sketchy. I mean, give up Southern Fried Foods? Come on now, a man's gotta eat.

Really, I find the argument that cigars are healthy to be a pretty tough one to win. Maybe the stress reduction. Maybe.

from what I remember, the stress reducing aspect of the cigars for Pres. Clinton was not in SMOKING them....lol.

Ted

that was bad...I'm sorry...no I'm not

HAHA!!! This kills me, there is no evidence in this report about the whole "cigars are good for you" theory. It just simply states it.

The Earth is flat! There I said it, so according to this doctor's theory, it must be true.

VP
p.S. I hope he is right... but all I'm saying is that I would like to see some real info about his theories.

it was intendly lightly buddy. he didn't go into detail because he has before. . .again i don't buy it 100% which i why i really can't remember why cigars are ok for you. just posted in fun.

Proof cigars are good for you!!!

I live in Arizona. I believe the state of Arizona is the worst affected state for West Nile Virus.

West Nile Virus is carried by nasty little mosquitos. When I smoke cigars outside, the smoke keeps away these nasty little homewrecking *******s.

Therefore I conclude that cigars are good for me!!

Is that proof enough?

That's actually true. Every time I go outside I have an excuse to smoke a cigar, it's the best mozzie repellent available!

I get a little testy when it comes to these things...

sorry

VP

Honestly guys who the f*ck knows. However I still haven't found one of the so called experts to give me a good enough reason why a country like Japan, who its adult population smokes way more than ours (per capita) live on average much longer than us. Can you say Hmmmmm.

Maybe it's because a majority of Japan isn't morbidly obese?

This country is seriously screwed up when it comes to dietary habits. We eat and eat and eat. Our meal sizes are probably double that of those in Japan. Plus now we have all these idiots running around on Atkins diets...losing a couple pounds but clogging their arteries and killing themselves in the process.

I sure that if you break down a cigar and look at all the chemicals it contains you could find some that are good for you. However, there are chemicals that are bad for you and over all cigars are not good for you. But a cigar taken in moderation is not a bad thing.

I still choose to smoke a cigar everyday. I limit myself to just one per day and I, like President Clinton, dont inhale.
