One drizzle, for Mark

[Guest guest]

again mark you dont use my whole phrase I said "one day" not moderation at home I do not use olive oil or any oil or butter that was one day one lunch to be exact I rarely ever go out to eat because of how hard it is to find something I like and can meet my diet restrictions. I also eat organic and whole wheat the ravioli I had that day was neither. I responded to you the first time because you misunderstood my intentions now if you would like to continue this conversation you can email me off list I dont think this is on topic anymore Blessed BeMARIzone 10www.facebook.com/mari.t.hernandez--- On Fri, 9/25/09, Mark Sutton <msutton wrote:Mark Sutton <msutton One drizzle, Campbell, and Essy Date: Friday, September 25, 2009, 9:48 AM

We'll have to agree to disagree. McDougall, Esselstyn, and Campbell have all said, openly, that they believe "moderation kills." Most recently:

 

"KF: Isn't anything in moderation ok, as long as we don't overdo it?

 

TCC: I rather like the expression told by my friend, Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr., MD, the Cleveland Clinic surgeon who reversed heart disease and who says, "Moderation kills!" I prefer to go the whole way, not because we have fool-proof evidence showing that 100% is better than, say, 95% for every single person for every single condition but that it is easier to avoid straying off on an excursion that too often becomes a slippery slope back to our old ways. Moreover, going the whole way allows us to adapt to new unrealized tastes and to rid ourselves of some old addictions. And finally, moderation often means very different things for different people."

My take is that the older you get, the more you risk. One high fat meal will impact your cardiovascular system for over six hours (that's an actual measurement and not theory).

 

My post wasn't to criticize you, just primarily to suggest an alternative.

 

I know full well that sometimes, in some circumstances, the oil can't be avoided. But, again, from a personal perspective, I try to hold to the healthier odds. I also like that I no longer crave or am addicted to the taste of fat, and for me, having a little (on purpose) would be like an alcoholic having a beer.

 

Best, Mark
