Guest guest Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 A friend of mine has become a vegetarian after reading Neil Barnard's book FOOD FOR LIFE. While researching Neil Barnard and his book, I came upon his name on QUACKWATCH and another Quackwatch like-site: NCAHF or the NATIONAL COUNCIL AGAINST HEALTH FRAUD. In the writeup debunking Neil Barard, our old friend Colin showed up: http://www.ncahf.org/articles/o-r/pcrm.html ................. T. Colin , PhD, Associate Professor of Nutritional Sciences at Cornell University also appeared at the press conference. had done a survey of Chinese dietary intakes. He did not do a medical study. In his report he linked the Chinese people's high intake of vegetables with their comparatively low rates of heart disease without pointing out that the more important statistic of life expectancy in China is only 66 years compared to the USA's 75 years [13]. 's pictures showing throngs of Chinese walking everywhere, and others with a small truckload of goods on the bicycles they were peddling, betrayed his emphasis on diet as the factor mostly responsible for lower heart disease rates. Obviously exercise and low body weights play a significant role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
