Sci/Lay: Two epidemiology PDF available diet studies.

Oops. Here is the attachments.

Table 1, attached, shows that there were many more healthy vegetables in the

vegetarian diet. Caloric intakes varied not. Neither really took much

alcohol but the difference was significant. I find that the archives

generally have a much clearer and easier to follow copy of the attached

table in this .txt format for my attachments.

Table 2, attached, shows levels of biomarkers. Insulin was significantly

lower in the fish-eaters. Glucose levels were not, as they generally are

with CR.
