China Study/New Girl Scout Cookies Still Have Trans Fats

March 25, 2007

I'm an omnivore and believe most people do best on a diet that includes

clean nutrient-dense foods such as raw milk, pastured-eggs, and wild and

pastured meat. It depends on your genes. Some people do OK as vegan, but

many have tried and do not do well, no matter how they balance the diet.

Speaking of The China Study - There are those that point out problems

with the methodology and accuracy.

" The China Study contains many excellent points in its

criticism of the health care system, the overemphasis on reductionism in

nutritional research, the influence of industry on research, and the

necessity of obtaining nutrients from foods. But its bias against animal

products and in favor of veganism permeates every chapter and every page.

Less than a page of comments are spent in total discussing the harms of

refined carbohydrate products. Campbell exercises caution when

generalizing from casein to plant proteins, but freely generalizes from

casein to animal protein. He entirely ignores the role of wheat gluten, a

plant product, in autoimmune diseases, so he can emphasize the role of

milk protein, an animal product. The book, while not entirely without

value, is not about the China Study, nor is it a comprehensive look at

the current state of health research. It would be more aptly titled, A

Comprehensive Case for the Vegan Diet, and the reader should be

cautioned that the evidence is selected, presented, and interpreted with

the goal of making that case in mind. "

Have Trans Fats

Americans get too much protein anyway, for if we had protein

deficiencies, we'd look like people in starving nations with the

distended bellies and yellowish or reddish hair~ And vegetable

protein is much more healthier for us than animal protein by far from the

findings of Dr Campbell book, The China Study~~

You believe people do best on such diet but Dr. Campbell, thru a 20 year scientific study, proved if we consume animal protein our chances of getting cancer and heart disease greatly increases~ And there will always be someone pointing out problems when it comes to living a life that stops the meat, dairy and poultry industry from making their big bucks~ Go pick up his book and read chapter 5 and see what i mean~

Anyway, this is about "choice", for all Americans know that eating at fast food restaurants is dangerous to ones health and that the consumption of animals in todays toxic world cant be safe, yet millions do it daily~ As an evolving human being, I also CHOOSE plant so that i dont go into a mental shut down while consuming my meal (Psychological numbing), something anyone that is sane MUST go into when consuming an animal that died in the most horrible manner possible in its youth before it made it to our mouths~ It's like having sex with a 7 year old and thinking it was ok because she or he would eventually do it~

So its more than just eating plants because we don't want diseases, its also a moral reason to consume our meals this way~

and by the way, since i became Vegan, i am learning to cook the most delicious meals ever and i eat them with my soul and heart wide open, something i never could do when i consumed flesh~
