Maybe it's related to catattractiveosis, which, as I have already hypothesized, is caused by keeping a steady supply of tasty morsels cats like. So people who stock up on tasty meats, poultry, and seafood have a lower risk of heart attack AND a higher Cat Attraction Index.
Maybe we should dump the Glycemic Index and replace it with the CAI.
(The health benefits of carnivory might, however, be counterbalanced by the stress of always trying to keep a determined cat off the counter when one is preparing dinner. Bad kitty!)
I am Petro Dobromylskyj, always known as Peter. I'm a vet, trained at the RVC, London University. I was fortunate enough to intercalate a BSc degree in physiology in to my veterinary degree. I was even more fortunate to study under Patrick Wall at UCH, who set me on course to become a veterinary anaesthetist, mostly working on acute pain control. That led to the Certificate then Diploma in Veterinary Anaesthesia and enough publications to allow me to enter the European College of Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia as a de facto founding member. Anaesthesia teaches you a lot. Basic science is combined with the occasional need to act rapidly. Wrong decisions can reward you with catastrophe in seconds. Thinking is mandatory.
I stumbled on to nutrition completely by accident. Once you have been taught to think, it's hard to stop. I think about lots of things. These are some of them.
The "labels" function on this blog has been used to function as an index and I've tended to group similar subjects together by using labels starting with identical text. If they're numbered within a similar label, start with (1). The archive is predominantly to show the posts I've put up in the last month, if people want to keep track of recent goings on. I might change it to the previous week if I ever get to time to put up enough posts in a week to justify it. That seems to be the best I can do within the limits of this blogging software!

Researchers looked at nearly 4,500 adults and found that cat ownership was related to a 40% lower risk of suffering a fatal heart attack.
Maybe it's the toxoplasmosis.
Parasites like to keep their hosts alive...
Thanks for sharing your blog. I've read Taubes and it has changed my way of looking at food.
