RUSH: Okay. So I\u2019ve been holding on to a couple things here for the right time. There\u2019s no right time to do these except when there\u2019s nothing really big pressing or such as an Open Line Friday. One of the things that I love doing is exposing popular wives\u2019 tales and particularly in the health area, such as, “Drinking coffee will enhance heart attacks,” or eating oat bran will somehow unclog this or that — or, you know, whatever these things are.<\/p>\n

\"\"For the longest time (panicking), “You gotta wear sunscreen! You gotta wear sunscreen! If you don\u2019t wear sunscreen, you\u2019re going to die! You\u2019re gonna get skin cancer. You\u2019re gonna get melanoma, skin cancer! You gotta wear it!” It\u2019s so bad, every day I play golf, you go into the restroom before going out to the range to get loose, and somebody\u2019s in there putting sunscreen on. “You\u2019re not gonna put any sunscreen on?” “Nope, I\u2019m not.” “Why not?” “Because I want to get some sun!” “Well, my God. Are you not worried about…?” “No, I\u2019m not! We\u2019re all gonna get something. I mean, if the sun was a killer, God wouldn\u2019t have made it or put us in the way of it.”<\/p>\n

“Man, that\u2019s real weird.” “I\u2019m sorry you think that but I\u2019m not gonna put sunscreen on.” I got some people that play golf that dress like Lawrence of Arabia because they believe this myth. And then after how many years, it was a few short weeks ago that we got this little story out there that said sunscreen was leading to serious deficiencies in vitamin D! There isn\u2019t any other way you can get it. You can\u2019t go to the GNC and grab some BGR, BDG, CPB, THC, whatever it is, and get some vitamin D.<\/p>\n

You gotta get in the sun — and if you\u2019re decked out in sunscreen all the time, you\u2019re not gonna get right amounts or sufficient amounts of vitamin D. Now, look, I understand some people\u2019s complexions mean that very little sun can cause burning. I\u2019m talking about being stupid about this. I\u2019m talking about rejecting fearmongering, crisis-controlling stories that nobody even questions. The amount of health BS that has made its way into daily adult life is striking. I wish I would have kept a record. I can\u2019t tell you.<\/p>\n

How about red wine? “Drink red wine and you\u2019ll never get a heart attack! One glass of red wine a day.” You say, “No, no, no. No, no, no.” “Yes, yes, yes! Look at the French! The French are not fat, the French don\u2019t have heart attacks, and they drink red wine and have brie cheese all the time.” “Okay, if that makes you feel better having wine and brie, go do it.” (indignant) “Well, I\u2019m just telling you, you don\u2019t see overweight French people!” “(laughing) Yes, you do! What do you mean, ‘You don\u2019t see overweight French people\u2019? You see overweight everybody!”<\/p>\n

And then, “One drink a day, maybe two, will actually open the blood vessels and promote blood circulation, particularly in the elderly. So if you need that toddy at the end of the day, Ethel, go ahead.” And then some months later, by the way, “Even one drink can hasten the onset of Alzheimer\u2019s!” I mean, it never ends, and with each new one, everybody gloms onto it and believes it. Remember the old coconut oil panic that was started by those two anorexic skeletons from the Center for Science in the Public Interest?<\/p>\n

Those people were a menace. Those people succeeded in getting coconut oil banned from movie theaters, which is what popcorn is popped in commercially. And you know why? Because it holds the popcorn. If you\u2019re running the concession operation at a stadium or an arena, you have to have the popcorn pre-popped and ready to go and have it under warmers, and it\u2019s gotta taste pretty much like it was just popped or you\u2019re not gonna sell it.<\/p>\n

Well, that\u2019s what coconut oil does. Coconut oil holds the popcorn. If you put it in Mazola or vegetable oil or whatever, it\u2019s not gonna last beyond the next day. You wouldn\u2019t want to eat it the next day. It\u2019s okay, but just it\u2019s not gonna taste right. Plus, coconut oil is what gives the movie theater the smell it has, the aroma and the taste. Have you noticed that you can\u2019t buy coconut oil!” Well, you used to not be able to buy it. It\u2019s not next to the Crisco. It\u2019s not next to the Mazola. You could only buy it commercially.<\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s out. But these anorexic skeletons got it banned from movie theaters, on the theory that it was so rich and high cholesterol that you would die, maybe! They then then the same thing with MSG and Chinese food. It turns out coconut oil is one of the most healthy oils you can consume! I do not pop popcorn at home without it! Now, some people like microwave popcorn for the convenience of it, and they\u2019ve tried to come up with imitation flavors in what they use to pop popcorn in microwave packs.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s nothing like real coconut oil — end even now, you have to buy it commercially. You have to buy it from places that service concession stands and concessionaires. But if you get it, it\u2019s nothing like it. I know some people say, “I don\u2019t want my house smelling like a movie theater.” (laughs) I don\u2019t mind if my media room smells like it, \u2019cause I love it. I think it smells good. Anyway, these things are all over the place, and I am naturally predisposed to never believing any of it because it\u2019s all groupthink. It\u2019s all conventional wisdom, and I…<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just the way I\u2019m wired. If everybody thinks something along the lines… I\u2019m not talking about core principles. I\u2019m talking about these kinds of theories and beliefs. When people come along and everybody thinks the same thing — like the Drive-Bys with these montages we put together, such as gravitas or whatever it is. I don\u2019t even know how they can do that. How in the world? Why do you want to be like everyone else? Why do you want to think, say, talk like everybody else?<\/p>\n

So I naturally, just instinctively, I don\u2019t even have to stop and think about it. So I never subscribe any of these things. I\u2019m not gonna let this kind of stuff — and these are all left-wing control freaks in these science industries trying to control the way people live, trying to control the way people think, all rooted in some secret belief that maybe we\u2019re not gonna die. Maybe if we do all these things we won\u2019t die. It\u2019s all rooted in mortality and so forth.<\/p>\n

So whenever these things come along, I get a little smile on my face. How many do I have? I have two here. Yeah. Two of them. The first one is from the New York Post, and the headline: “Sorry, Fitness Fanatics: Your 10,000-Step Goal Is Bogus.”<\/a> Now, how many of you have signed on to this one? If you wear an Apple Watch or a Fitbit or any kind of a device that tracks your physical activity, you may have signed on to the idea that 10,000 steps is an objective or a goal.<\/p>\n

Not just upstairs or down, just 10,000 steps, just moving around, that sitting is the closest thing to getting cancer. Oh, that\u2019s another one. The people that promote the Apple Watch and Fitbits will tell you, “I mean, if you want to get cancer, sit. It\u2019s the absolute worst thing you can do is sit. I mean, it\u2019s a killer. Sitting is a killer!” Right. Well, have you seen a death certificate which lists sitting as the cause you saw death?<\/p>\n

Now, don\u2019t get mad at me. I\u2019m not being snarky here. Of course we haven\u2019t. \u201cNo Rush, it\u2019s not the sitting, it\u2019s the inactivity, it\u2019s the blood clots and it\u2019s the collection of fat in certain areas when you\u2019re not moving around. You know what it is. Don\u2019t try to fool us.” You tell me sitting causes cancer, you lose me. Who wrote this? I don\u2019t have a name, but it\u2019s the New York Post.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cSince the dawn of our Fitbit, step-tracking culture, we\u2019ve been programed to strive for 10,000 steps a day \u2013” Dawn, are you into the 10,000 steps a day? No, 10,000 steps a day. \u201c– and to feel guilty if we haven\u2019t hit that daily benchmark. But a new study out of \u2013” dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut \u2013 \u201cHarvard Medical School says that less may be more when it comes to walking.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe study, published in the Journal of American Medical Association Internal Medicine, says that notching only half of that 10,000 number is linked to a decreased risk for early deaths in older women.\u201d<\/p>\n

See? There we go. All you need, if you\u2019re an elderly woman, all you have to do is walk 5,000 steps, and that will decrease your risk for early death as an older woman. What is early death in an older woman? If you become an older woman, haven\u2019t you survived early death? I\u2019m not nitpicking.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the benefits might even flatten out after about 7,500 steps, making those extra 2,500 paces futile.\u201d Well, how many of you have been out there gauging and counting and recording your 10,000 steps a day, and now here comes somebody from Harvard, “You don\u2019t need to do that, 5,000 will do it, 7,500 tops.”<\/p>\n

You know, when it comes to health news, nothing should be shocking anymore. What is shocking is the gullibility of human beings in the twenty-first century. Drink a gallon of water a day to be healthy, you say. Okay, sure. Hey, if you\u2019re gonna go on a diet, it won\u2019t work unless you have eight 12-ounce glasses of water every day. Even if you can\u2019t drink another glass, you gotta have eight. How many diets tell you this?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve done it. I\u2019ve lost weight equally rapidly drinking nothing above average as I have doing the eight glasses of water. But they say, “Well, the reason, Rush, you gotta flush it all out. You drink the eight glasses of water to flush out all the ketones and stuff that you\u2019re burning up that actually counts for the weight loss. You gotta flush it out of there.”<\/p>\n

“You mean it\u2019s not gonna leave on its own?”<\/p>\n

“No! That\u2019s why you gotta drink the eight glasses of water, to make sure it gets flushed out of there.”<\/p>\n

“Oh. So the human body won\u2019t get rid of that stuff unless you drink eight glasses?”<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s right, Rush.” I\u2019ve had people swear by this to me. Don\u2019t drink coffee if you want to avoid cancer. All these steps. Here\u2019s another one. Antioxidants. I didn\u2019t even know what an antioxidant was until I got the first pitch from a guy on how healthy they are. This guy shoveled blueberries into his mouth like I\u2019ve never seen.<\/p>\n

He was putting raw blueberries into his mouth, on top of his cereal, he was putting them in milk. He was putting artificial sweetener on them, making muffins out of them, blueberries every day. Every time he opened his mouth he was eating something a blueberry was part of. \u201cAntioxidant, man, it\u2019s best cleansing mechanism there is. You gotta get rid of all these poisons in your system, and if you don\u2019t do it, they\u2019re gonna build up and they\u2019re gonna kill you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is an oxidant?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I don\u2019t know, but it\u2019s bad. You shouldn\u2019t do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is doing an oxidant?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, there are antioxidants and you\u2019re getting rid of poison.\u201d Anyway, this guy committed suicide about a year after I got to know him.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is from Real Clear Science:<\/a> \u201cAntioxidants have been hailed as health game changers for over a quarter-century. When originally buzzed back in the early 1990s, the compounds, which include beta-carotene, Vitamin E, and glutathione, were predicted to protect against various cancers, heart disease, and neurodegradation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019d do this by halting the spread of free radicals in the body, molecules with unpaired electrons that greedily rob other molecules of their electrons in order to stabilize.\u201d Definitely a no-no.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy stealing electrons to pair their own, however, they create more free radicals in the process, producing \u2018oxidative stress.\u2019 Antioxidants graciously lend their electrons to free radicals without turning ravenous themselves, thus halting the damaging chain reaction.<\/p>\n

\u201cEarly on, in vitro and observational studies showed promise, exciting scientists. Health \u2018gurus\u2019 hyped the findings with books and articles. Supplement sellers had a new fad to fill their coffers. Food makers began slapping antioxidant claims on everything from yogurt and snack bars to chocolate and soda. The antioxidant craze was on.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut then, in the early 2000s, results from randomized, controlled trials on humans began flowing in, and the stream of positive results soon turned into a torrent of negative findings. Perhaps the trials weren\u2019t long enough, or were conducted on the wrong study populations, some scientists wondered. Over the next decade, more experiments concluded, with more inconclusive or outright negative results. Antioxidant intake,\u201d did not do anything. \u201cIt didn\u2019t boost cognitive performance, or stall dementia, or halt heart disease, or prevent cancer, or lower the risk of Parkinson\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n

And today \u201cit\u2019s increasingly accepted in the scientific community that antioxidants are not the health promoters they were hoped to be.\u201d Well, then how did all this get started? It\u2019s called grant money. You get a hold of some people already neurotic about getting sick and dying, and then you feed them a study on \u201cthis can arrest something that\u2019s gonna kill you,\u201d if they\u2019re in charge of the money, they\u2019ll fund you.<\/p>\n

And as long as you write and report things they want to read, they\u2019ll keep funding you. And then these journals for the American this and that get hold of it, bammo, the Drive-Bys get hold of it, and that\u2019s how these myths take hold.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: On Open Line Friday, back to the phones we go, to Louisville and Roberta. Great to have you on the program. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. It\u2019s an honor to talk to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you. Thank you so much.<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: I just wanted to make a comment about what you were saying about people that sit for long periods of time and causing cancer. My mother has never walked. She\u2019s been in a wheelchair her whole life, and she\u2019s 95 years old, and she\u2019s fit as a fiddle. So I just kind of wanted to put that out there.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That is incredible.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What is it that has her in the wheelchair? Did you say it, I missed?<\/p>\n

CALLER: She had polio.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh. Oh.<\/p>\n

CALLER: They told her she would never be able to have kids and she had four of us and that she would probably die by the time she was 25 and she\u2019s 95. So she\u2019s gonna outlive all of us.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. Yeah. And there are countless examples. I was thinking Stephen Hawking. You know, Stephen Hawking, he had a variation of ALS. ALS is an early killer, Lou Gehrig\u2019s disease. But Hawking was in a wheelchair his entire life, too. And he lived much longer than they say people who sit should live.<\/p>\n

Well, congratulations to you and your mom. That\u2019s awesome, 95 and having polio to boot and four kids. I love stories like that. Thank you very much, Roberta. That\u2019s Roberta from Louisville. And it was a short segment \u2019cause I kind of went long in the previous one, but we\u2019ve got some Mueller report news coming up next, get back to serious stuff, so hang on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
