For half a century, nutritionists have pointed to soaring death rates as the genesis of their research into dietary fat and heart disease and as reason to advise Americans to eat less fat (see main text). "We had an epidemic of heart disease after World War II," obesity expert Jules Hirsch of Rockefeller University in New York City said just 3 months ago in The New York Times.

Eat less saturated fat, live longer. For 30 years, this has stood as one cornerstone of nutritional advice given to Americans (see main text). But how much longer? Between 1987 and 1992, three independent research groups used computer models to work out the answer.

My studies of the highly successful prove that they continually achieve their results by doing "certain things in a certain way." I have also found that "like causes produce like effects." Therefore, if you and I consistently employ the same thought processes and actions of these highly-successful individuals, we must produce the same results.

Let's put to rest the fallacy that success, in sales or any profession, is due to luck, chance, and/or hard work. There is nothing further from the truth. Think about it, you and I both know people who work incredibly hard, putting in long hours, they may even have two jobs, but they are not consistently (if ever) successful.
