This is the man who says competitive distance running is bad for us, the enlarged heart from too many years of hard running has scar tissue and gets stiffened to the point it becomes dangerous

Dr. O'Keefe of Mid Atlantic heart institute. Where is that located? Redneck city?
It's worth checking out his Wikipedia entry, which offers some context for his views and is also pretty funny:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_O%27Keefe_%28cardiologist%29
"Most mornings James begins his day by taking his dogs with him on a short run. James’ favorite breakfasts include plain yogurt mixed with unsalted walnuts or pecans, cinnamon and berries, or an egg white omelet with fresh vegetables, or an avocado dressed with fresh lemon.[16] James can be found, at any point of the day, with a cup of green tea in hand. Two to three times per week, James will enjoy a meal consisting of oily fish. Salmon and trout are among his favorites.[17] James enjoys spending his free time outdoors, playing with family and friends...
Dr. O’Keefe highly suggests that in order to live a healthy lifestyle, humans must return to the lifestyles of our ancient ancestors.[20] This is essential because the nutritional needs of our current era were determined many centuries ago in the remote pre-historic past. We have been genetically adapted to thrive in a Hunter-Gatherer type of lifestyle..."
"James O’Keefe has researched and published extensively about exercise, diet, omega-3, and vitamin D. Recent work on potential cardiovascular damage from excessive endurance exercise such as ultra-marathons has garnered much attention in both the cardiology world and the general public. the http://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/webfiles/images/journals/jmcp/jmcp_pr87_6_2.pdf] posits extreme endurance exercise such as marathons, iron man distance triathlons, and very long distance bicycle races may eventually lead to adverse structural changes in the heart and large arteries, leading to 'cardiac overuse injury' and atrial fibrillation. These papers emphasize that exercise best confers benefits to longevity and cardiac health at moderate doses, such as vigorous exercise 30–60 minutes per day, beyond which it becomes a case of diminishing returns. [25][26]. Dr. O'Keefe presented this hypothesis in a widely viewed TEDx Talk TEDx Talk in September of 2012 at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.[27]" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_O%27Keefe_%28cardiologist%29
Yes - beacuse our ancient ancestors were very big on easy runs with the dogs and egg white omelets with fresh veggies.
