Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 This seems to be the heart of it: " Of the other associations examined, only two were significant. Daily consumption of wholemeal bread was associated with a 12% reduction in all cause mortality, but the protection was much less than that for fresh fruit (21%) and became non-significant after fruit was adjusted for. Daily consumption of raw salad was associated with a 26% reduction in mortality from ischaemic heart disease, slightly greater than that for fresh fruit (24%). After each of these variables was adjusted for the other, salad was more closely associated with mortality, but the reduction in risk associated with fruit remained substantial (18%) and both these foods may have a protective effect.

It seemed to say that eating wholemeal bread daily, but not bran cereals, was associated with longevity. Other factors were smoking and eating fresh fruit daily. These values were significant. Not significantly better was eating raw salads. No effect of vegetarianism was seen for all-cause mortality, despite two authors being members of the Vegetarian Society.
