P. Bjerregaard, T.K. Young and R.A. Hegele, Low incidence of cardiovascular disease among the Inuit—What is the evidence?, Atherosclerosis 166 (2003), pp. 351–357.
From what I read about Stefansson, it was reported that he had very low blood pressure after the diet ended.  I'd like to read what the article states about increased CHD in Inuits, as it seems to not correlate with Stefansson's experience.

message: In the article it is written:
"However, hunters like the Inuit, who traditionally obtain most of their dietary energy from wild animals and therefore eat a low-carbohydrate diet,[8] seem to have a high mortality from stroke.[9]"
To whom does it "seem" the Inuit have a higher incidence of stroke?  Obviously there is no evidence or the statement would be "the Inuit have a high mortality from stroke.
Since there is no evidence the Inuit have a high mortality from stroke, please remove the remark.
The statement is obviously pandering to traditionl medicine which has spent millions of research dollars in the failed effort to show a link between saturated fat consumption, stroke and coronary heart disease.  
If Wikipedia is to be objective, this biased statement without any merit at all must be removed.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Just saw that user RandomCanadian removed a whole section https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vilhjalmur_Stefansson&diff=1022049980&oldid=1022043060 for no reason at all. His comment has no bearing on the text since it presents what happened with Stefanson and HIS ideas and life, and is not about "‎Advocacy of exclusively meat diet: WP:PROFRINGE content which is likely UNDUE and may contain seriously misleading bio-medical claims about diet removed". There were no biomedical claims and the sources are credible(studies and a MS disertation!!)
All of that leads me to conclude that RandomCanadain is just another vegan wikipedian pushing his ideology online.
Wikipedia has been getting more and more low quality as the years pass but such blatant ideological vandalism has become increasingly common.
