Eskimo Longevity and Meat Consumption [Brief]

[Guest guest]

I find this interesting ... but this is recent data. We have no comparable

knowledge of the Inuit prior to " civilized " intervention.

Osteoporosis is extremely high among eskimos, starting at a very young age.

if you eat a high animal diet you are bound to have high levels of

cholesterol.

If you eat raw veggies and fruit the vastmajority of the time (which

is definitely the way to go!), and had a5-ounce organic (cooked) steak

say 2 or 3 times a month or something,the ill-health effects of that

meat (IF ANY!) will be well under thebackground noise contribution of

industrial pollutants we exposeourselves willingly to every single day

and night, 24/7/365.25. Iknow the China study showed a correlation of

disease to meat eatingright down to zero meat-eating, but that was with

cooked veggies whichare far inferior to raw ones.

 

Honestly, this does nothing to prove meat is healthy. Basically, you

are saying here that if you minimalize the bad (steak) and up your good

food (raw vegan foods), you should be able to " get away " with eating

the bad stuff. Nobody here would ever argue that - of course that makes

perfect sense. Ditto for drinkng aspartame-laced carbonated drinks once

once a week if you follow a cleansing diet the rest of the month.

But... does that mean we SHOULD eat aspartame? even a " good quality "

aspartame? Obviously the body can deal with a lot of abuse or few

americans would be alive right now... This is not really an " argument " ,

nor does it prove anything. Meat is still inhumane and meat is still

unhealthy.
