Die at 30? You must be crazy. Go ahead and eat your faggot diet then you stupid asshole. REAL MEN EAT MEAT!
So KTS, explain why the French consume three times as much saturated animal fat as Americans and yet one-third as many die of heart attacks. I bet your protein deficient brain can't. Or won't. And does your brain have any clue that having high sugar levels is way more unhealthy than having high blood fat levels? Do you realize that a lot of vegetarians are fat from eating too much starch? Are you one of THEM?
There is NO paradox you dolt.. The French eat only slightly more fat than Americans (certainly not even close to "3 times more") and they UNDER REPORT deaths from CVD. They also eat a LOT more vegetables and less calories. You are one dumb meateater.... GIVE BEEF DA BOOT!!!
Researchers found that the real benefit of the Mediteranean diet was the healthy foods they ate (vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains and fish) and that they ate LESS RED MEAT, dairy than the typical American diet, and that the benefit was NOT from the olive oil. They ate TWICE the amount of vegetables than the typical American. When olive oil was factored out, morbidity and mortality didn't change. So, they were healthy not "because" of the olive oil, but "in spite" of it. (olive oil is crapola too) Adherence to a Mediterranean diet and survival in a Greek population. N Engl J Med. 2003 Jun 26;348(26):2599-608 Trichopoulou A, Costacou T, Bamia C, Trichopoulos D. The traditional Mediterranean diet is characterized by a high intake of vegetables, legumes, fruits and nuts, and cereals (that in the past were largely unrefined), and a high intake of olive oil but a low intake of saturated lipids, a moderately high intake of fish (depending on the proximity of the sea), a low-to-moderate intake of dairy products (and then mostly in the form of cheese or yogurt), a low intake of meat and poultry, ITS THE PLANTS!! GIVE BEEF DA BOOT!!
Hey guys, had a very nice skirt steak frites on Saturday night in Manhattan. They put a nice blue cheese dipping sauce on the side that was tremendous. Broke it all down with a nice Bordeaux. Heart feels great!!
Greeks suffer higher rates of obesity By JANET NESTER, Associated Press Writer ATHENS, Greece - Greeks are ignoring their traditionally healthy diet and suffering higher rates of obesity and related illnesses such as diabetes, medical groups warned Wednesday. The Mediterranean diet, often hailed as a model for calorie-counters worldwide, has lost many of its classic features. The consumption of meat and cheese is increasing, while the Greek staples of bread, potatoes and olive oil have been vanishing from the daily diet, Hassapidou said.
Nah, I'm just fine. Won't have another steak for a couple weeks. Had a nice veggie burrito last night. Moderation kid, moderation. You'll learn someday
