Health and Diet Myths Busted?

[Guest guest]

Amazing how we find different viewpoints, all supported by scientific

research and studies. This one is interesting.

Yes, depending on the source you can use " science " to make an argument

for anything from a diet overloaded with fats and woefully deficient

in the good carbohydrates to one that is entirely a raw vegan diet.

The site does make some good points, much along the lines of those in

the highly acclaimed " Maker's Diet " . I think that the information on

the site, regardless of the science they quote, is flawed along the

same lines of the Atkins Diet, which over-hyped eating all the fat you

wanted and eliminating all the carbs you could, both of which can lead

to serious health conditions.

 

From what I have observed, the most effective diet for people fighting

cancer is the Budwig Diet, although I consider it more of a treatment

or protocol than an actual diet.

 

Outside Budwig, the next most beneficient diet for people who are

building a healthy immune system and fighting cancer and other

illnesses appears to be one which closely models what our ancestors

evolved to eat (if you don't like " evolution " , substitute " had grown

accustomed to eating " about 20,000 years ago: meat, raw fruits and

vegetables, nuts, roots and tubors - none of which were contaminated

by chemical pollutants, pesticides, hormones and other additives.

 

Another very effective diet for fighting cancer and disease appears to

be a raw vegan diet; however, vegan diets tend to leave the body

deficient in vital nutrients found only in meat, such as vitamin B-12.

I think that perhaps a very big factor in the success of following a

vegan diet to combat health problems is the de-toxing effect of such a

diet. Anyone who considers a vegan diet, especially long term, would

be well advised to supplement carefully in order to not have unhealthy

deficiencies.

 

I understand that many people have strong feelings about being

vegetarian, and I respect their beliefs while at the same time

disagreeing. Maybe many millenia from now things will be different

for our shaky species, but as matters stand at present we are decidely

adapted for life as omnivores.

 

One thing is for sure: the FDA food chart is horribly, horribly

flawed. Take a look at:
