Just grapefruits. Strawberries and Kiwi's are still okay.

I believe he stated that he ate a jar of peanut butter a day for years. A lot of people have some degree of peanut allergies and don't even know it. Peanuts can and will cause inflammation in most people. Most people's inflammation goes unnoticed and/or has mild symptoms...Inflammation is a secret killer...

I love grapefruits 

[Primemuscle]

I love grapefruits 

So does Kai, apparently. He loves them so much he destroys them.

The guy ate peanut butter and red meat like Seabiscuit, hence the clogged arteries. Excessive steroid use can also wreak havoc on cholesterol levels.

Did he start juicing again after the surgery?

Hopefully the "antelope" were consenting.  I know...it was a speeeling eror!

Depending on how much peanut butter he eats, it might not be that bad for him. Peanut butter in small amounts can stimulate your body to produce the HDL cholesterol that clean LDL out of your bloodstream and reduce your cholesterol. However, the saturated fats in peanut butter mean your body will simultaneously produce harmful LDL as well. Health organization Kaiser Permanente advises that people with high blood pressure can eat peanut butter, but are better off eating it in small amounts.

This could be the way low dose baby aspirin works to help prevent heart problems.  Aspirin is anti-inflammatory.

It is one thing to "live life to it's fullest" and quite another to live a life full of crap.  He did the latter and as he has admitted, paid the price.  Like I said, if he has genuine remorse he has a chance.

Coleman on the other hand, has more crap in him than a bag of natural fertilizer.

Mike has had a great life - you don't know him and don't know what the fuck you are talking about... What the fuck does "genuine remorse"'have to do with someone's ability to heal?? Fucking retard. Mikes pops died from heart disease very young and I can assure you his dad wasn't living a life of crap and sure as hell was t using hormones... You are a pathetic fuck that never amounted to shit so you come here and pontificate as some righteous ass. Yet another example of the PUSSIFICATION of the world

Well, since I don't speak or write "Stupid", I should have known this would happen. 

[falco]

this is a 20/30 lb larger version of his 228 lb usa win in 91 he looked insane at that show and he was only competing a bit then came out of nowhere..

Miracles of insulin/growth combo.

[FitnessFrenzy]

The thread is vague. What was he brought into hospital for specifically? 

he was posing on getbig with a few gimmicks and a brutal owning by bigmc was the final blow to his heart.

Yup. Mike at 5'10", competed in the 250-260 range later on. Was about 275-280 offseason. I read he had upwards of both 24" arms and calves at one point. Either way, all around big guy.

Hope he pulls through.

[Oblique]

This sucks.

I met Mike once. Seemed pretty cool.

I doubt he ate like he said he did though.

It's just the drugs. They've done their damage.

[Wolfox]

Will prayed for him if he still has some muscle. If no muscle then he is on his own.

Fuck man im going to hell for laughing at this. 

Anyways... I don't know the guy but i hope he makes a recovery.

[gracie bjj]

alot of its genetics NOT steroids,some people smoke all their lives n live to be 95 n others never touched a cigerette n die of lung cancer at 35, its just the way it is.

[falco]

Went to the cardiologist last week to do a checkup and told him i have used some steroids in the past. He didn't gave much attention to it, he was always repeating how dangerous smoking is.

[Ronnie Rep]

Sad, Mike was one of my fav Bodybuilders, some of the freakiest arms and calves of all time. Know he had a a triple bypass in the past. Whether it's drugs or genetics most likely a combination of both, hope he pulls through.

He had two open heart interventions. In 2004 and 2007 if i remember correctly.

Yup it was the drugs (not his diet).

[K1RB]

Another abuser fighting for his life- shocker-
He may have been pre disposed to heart disease, but I'm sure acting like an idiot and abusing drugs speed the process up quite a bit-
Most of  these guys will die pre maturely and broke...They are stupid if they don't know that getting into this-
My guess is that Phil Heath will fall the hardest , the fastest...We are seeing it happen to Ronnie right now-
Kids...Stay in school, don't abuse drugs, and save your money. Some people may think that is common sense, but it's amazing how many don't

[Mr Anabolic]

So according to the majority on here, it was the meat and peanut butter that did him in.

I always got the feeling that Phil is a relatively low dose guy.
I think if anyone it'll be Branch who suffers the most once he hits his 50's, or Kai - maybe not injury-wise but definitely health problems.

Of course they all push the limits. Its hard to understand unless you see it from their eyes.
Just like Olympic athletes, they are willing to do whatever it takes to win, and it doesn't matter to them if they keel over the next day. Of course, Olympic athletes make way more money and actually need skill to win their sport, but the mentality is the same nonetheless.
