You just proved my point.

Hardly. I don't even know what it was. I don't think you have one.

Thank you Jules for your informational post. You are really a gem here and many of us appreciate your efforts to get the word out about women and heart disease. Heart disease often presents very differently in women than it does in men, so the more knowledge we have the better.

Once again, don't let anyone stop you from getting the message out because they don't care about heart health for themselves. I appreciate your being pro-active as heart disease has touched so many of us.

Uh...isn't that the AIDS ribbon?

Notice the distinct heart in the ribbon that is representative of heart awareness for women. The Aids ribbon does not have a heart in it.

It's a red ribbon universally associated with AIDS.

Have you ever seen a red ribbon with a heart in the center...IRL...where you could hold it? No. This is a graphic. A stupid won't-accomplish-anything graphic.

Yes, I have seen such a heart.

Again, thanks to the OP for starting this thread. i would like to think someone looked up the sites and passed on the information to someone else...and so on..

And a red ribbon has been the symbol for heart disease for years.

Many major illnesses use a ribbon of a certain color for awareness, and quite a few cross-over. Purple is also used for more than one illness.

Just a suggestion, but IMO she has had her 15 minutes here and the issue is more important than anything she has said.
