Another vegan kook who thinks he can beat death.
How do you feel about sugar? http://katiecouric.com/videos/the-not-so-sweet-side-of-sugar/If all I had to eat was veggies I would want to die.
Fish on the islands is unbelievable.
Same here, but I don't eat animal protein. I do eat carbs, but not refined if I can help it. Steel-cut oatmeal almost every morning. Lately, I've cut back on the carbs to keep my blood sugar from spiking. The more you learn, the more you have to do.
I posted that link because I know Dr. Bruce is skeptical about the advantages of the Ornish and Esselstyn diets. Maybe because of the fact you mentioned. BUT, there is a reason! And the reason doesn't apply to folks on those diets. I suspect that since the information in that video became known some 10 years ago, many vegetarians and vegans took it to heart (heh, heh) and ought to start making a difference in any similar future studies. Good-bye Atkins diet if they do.
FTFY!
If you're going to use my line at least get it right!
:wink2:
Me.
He can't eat meat without becoming loaded with transfats, so probably opted to follow the National Academy Of Sciences 'science' rather than their 'recommendations':
Those who ate an American Heart Assocoation diet ate the same stuff, except for one difference, as those on a Mediterranean diet, but they fared so much worse an ethics committee stopped the Lyon study after two years. That one difference is a thing meat eaters and vegetarians eat in common, but not vegans on the Esselstyn diet. So, to achieve the Mediterranean result no matter which of the two diets you're on... you need to know what that one thing is, then don't eat it. Anyone on an Esselstyn diet oughtn't be tarred with the same brush as studies done on typical vegetarians and vegans.Yet that's not shown to cause any difference in longevity. If you like you diet, you can keep your diet.

Good one on the Obama paraphrase, btw.

Well, the point of posting here is help pilots keep flying which is hard to do after being debilitated by a stroke or heart attack. Do you want to ask somebody to pull up your shorts every time you go to the bathroom? All it takes to keep you on the ground is a stent with a little careless language in your medical record because the FAA is twenty years behind the times cardio-wise.
Veggies and no sugar is good... meat's loaded with cholesterol and transfats. When I cut out meat my cholesterol was cut nearly in half, LDL too. A statin drug lowered it even more. Without meat, though, I have to eat beans and lentils and to make sure all the essential amino acids are there--grains. Corn is a grain. I agree with 'minimizing' pastas, rice and breads and eating the whole grain versions.
