Well, you have to put it into context. Go without any sleep for a few nights, that's going to screw you up far more than going without food for a few days.
People fast for up to 40 days to cure ailments/ disease. I think 40 days without sleep would have major negative impacts on your health. Thanks
Actually just one night's bad sleep would be far more detrimental than having one day's lousy nutritional intake. Um, that would actually kill you! We know that 11 days without sleep will cause severe mental problems, so I would say 40 days would be more than enough to kill.
If you're recommending a high saturated fat diet, you have failed your community college nutrition course. Or you've been misinformed by websites. Try to get your money back and spend it on some fresh vegetables.
There is now good scientific evidence published in peer-reviewed journals reals that saturated fat is not at all the bugaboo it had been made out to be. And much evidence that SUGAR and HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP have been the main drivers of coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis, diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and cancers of many types. I’m not knocking plants by any means. But the fact (not would-be facts stated by misinformed websites), actual, scientifically determined fact indicates that a diet high in saturated fats and very low to no sugar consumption is perhaps close tot the ideal human diet. Unfortunately the US government, and following the US, governments around the world have spent immense resources in an information dissemination campaign against dietary saturated fat that it may be a generation or more before we shake the last vestiges of the “Low Fat” indoctrination of the last 50 to 60 years. As an aside, not all fats are equal. Other than olive oil and avocado oil, most plant and seed oils appear to be the opposite of healthy. I myself stick to animal fats for cooking, and olive oil for dressings. Here is an interesting article from the Journal of Gastroenterology about sugar and fatty liver in children: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/ar...o34kUgjo58ttGRVxfkbubug8uu9xqv5EmGYspo9T_PdKQ
You must be informed by same websites as Visaria. Maybe attended same community college. Since you're quoting the web, google nation by life expectancy, you'll notice they do not have a high saturated diet, actually the opposite. We should all limit saturated fats from diet. Your attached link is referring to Children (9–18 years old; n = 41). This thread is meant for adults > 45. As we all know fad diets come and go.
I'm not here to change your mind. Your reliance on ad hominem arguments shows your mind, like that of most people, is closed to anything that would contradict your beliefs. I think I read somewhere on the forum that @destriero has quite an impressive educational background in biochemistry. He would likely be better to respond to your views than a community college drop out like me.
Likewise. You should read your link again. Then read my previous reply. I'm not referring to children, just adults and seniors.
I did read the article, and I noted in my response to you that this study was in children. But human children and human adults are the same species, and the similarities in physiology certainly are far greater than any differences. Here is an article originally published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. It discusses the role the sugar industry played in quashing negative data concerning sugar consumption and health and the sugar industry's attempts behind the scenes to vilify dietary fat rather than sugar. I know you are suspicious of anything published on the internet. However, the internet is just a medium for communication. As are print journals, books, etc. You can't believe everything you read, but you can certainly believe some of it. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5099084/
