Re: Pectin may lower cancer risk

[Guest guest]

This jves with what I've read in Caldwell Esselstyn' book, and with

Ornish, Barnard and T.Collin (The China Study). All recommend

a very low-fat primarily plant-based diet to help prevent heart

disease, cancer and diabetes. This encourage this vegetarian!

Not distressed at all, I always enjoy reading the posts. Still too much

of a newbie to contribute much.

We have at least one study in our files which concludes that health conscious meat eaters live as long as vegetarians. Unfortunately it’s not that simple as just being vegetarian.

We’ve discussed here. See the archives. He is controversial and many believe that he was not objective in his book “China Study”.

I guess that would depend on what you call a 'meat eater " ?

One could eschew meat altogether eating all plants and live a nice

long life. But can I eat all meat living as long?

Very little meat may be beneficial for whatever ill-defined reasons at

present, but does a lot of meat in one's diet promote longevity as

does a predominance of plants in one's diet?

Whole food natural unrefined plants seems to be protective, the more

the better and a lot of current 'press' backs this up. But how much

BEEF is protective and why?

Many questions need be answered.

I think you’re overstating the case.

A richly varied diet is best. And this certainly can include some meat/fish in the diet. I am convinced that fish is highly desirable due to the many studies we’ve posted here. IOW I’m not a vegetarian. Neither was Walford for that matter And some of the longest lived (healthy to advanced old age) peoples in the world ,such as the older generation of Okinawans, included meat and fish in their diet. YMMV, but I’ll continue eating my fish and small amounts of meat.
