It costs just one Dollor !
Harvard school of Public health has recently published some hard data about the adverse effects of bad diet habits especially the impact of soft drinks on long term cardio vascular health.
Another prestigious journal confirms it . . .
The ultimate journal for the cardiologists Circulation reaffirms it .
We have overwhelming evidence , prolonged use of soft drinks
increase CAD (Like tobacco ). Still , we haven’t added the customary caution on the bottles of these soft drinks ?
Why ?
My guess would be, there are powerful forces in modern society that would love to keep the threat of diseases high in the human domain so that all stake holders make a profit .
The poor , World health instigation(WHO) and various public health forums simply watch it .If they protest , they are at risk of sucked into the loop of deceit !
Failure to reverse public health hazards may be a lesser crime in modern days . . . But , here comes a series of advertisements in Indian media , that is a strong indicator that human intellect and the sixth sense is going nuts !
It suggests , Do you want ever lasting happiness . . . Drink it . . . earnestly believe in it . . . and drink again !
I was also told a shocking fact that , The beverage war in India has started and the soft drink giants have heavily Invested to take it into the rural markets .Their aim is to provide “health for all Indians” by 2020 !
Concluding question
ORBITA trial : First let us do some harm . . . second , we shall . . !?

Cardiologists at confused cross roads !
Perils of limited Intellect & Infinite greed
When not so appropriately trained cardiologists do Inappropriate things “use becomes misuse” . . . then, it won’t take much time for science to become total abuse. That’s what happened with the murky world of coronary stents .No surprise, it’s time to firefight the healers instead of the disease !
Now ,Comes the ORBITA study . Yes , it looks like a God sent path breaking trial that spits some harsh truths not only in cardiology, but also in behavioral ethics .Let us not work over time and hunt for any non-existing loop holes in ORBITA. Even if it has few, it can be condoned for sure as we have essentially lived out of flawed science for too long Injuring many Innocent hearts !
Yes , its enforced premature funeral times for a wonderful technology !

Meanwhile, let us pray for a selective resurrection of stenting in chronic coronary syndromes and stop behaving like lesser professionals !

Extremely sorry . . . to all those discerning academic folks , who are looking for a true scientific review of ORBITA , please look elsewhere !
