Guest guest Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Morning Joann, First, let me say I appreciate all the hard work and research you do. Sometimes I think you never sleep. I also realize that I am a bit hard nosed, bunt, and may exaggerate my ideas and opinions at times. However I have reasons and justification, millions of sick people, and tens of millions of visits to doctors with zero results, often not even a single suggestion or recommendation relating to the primary reason for which patient went to see the doctor. >> No one is suggesting that anyone give up meat entirely, In recent years, I find I am eating less and less meat. Not due to any mind set or discipline, but simply because I want less meat. I eat a steak about every two or three months. I often do not eat a whole pork chop at one sitting. Some days I eat no cooked food at all. I try to make this 50% of the days. ON the days I eat any cooked food, it is usually only one small meal. Nevertheless, I think this issue of people eating too much protein is a non-issue. Some people eat too much meat, some drink too much, some smoke too much, others drive too fast, skydive, and play russian roulette. Why worry about them? Our studies, research, and suggestions should be directed to the people who are diligently trying to improve health, improve their diet, and learn the buried and suppressed secrets of health. Real world example, .... A relative died of cancer at age 52. He had enough money to buy a 55 gal drum of vitamins and minerals every month. The last time I visited him, on the deck behind his house, were 5 charcoal grills. He ate steak, potatoes, and bread way too often. Once when he visited me a few years before, I put together 3 days of vitamins in individual bottles. When I talked to him later, he told me he felt much better on those 3 days than he had in a year. Yet.... he continued in his evil ways. So, I will agree, some people eat too much protein. >There are SO many abnormalites that are closely linked to America's >high protein diets. We still have not defined high, low, and average. You must have some percentages in mind. For many years, I have believed these numbers to be, 40, 40, and 20. P, F, C. Since I have been eating more fruit and raw vegetables, I would reconsider, and think 33,33,33 would be acceptable. Life is somewhat a gambling situation at best. All we are doing is trying to stack the cards a bit in our favor. Honestly, I am concerned about getting enough fat more so than any other concern.
