I am just finishing the book, Eat to Live. One thing I have to agree with is that a person can be Vegan and never eat veggies and fruit which skips some important nutrients some of which may even be unknown as to how beneficial they can be in a diet.
I have read many books over the years and I feel that many people are so confused by this study and that i.e.. Eat more protein, don't eat protein. It is really too bad. One conclusion I do believe is that we all need more unprocessed veggies and fruit in our diet (ooops protein diets don't want you to eat fruit

.
I believe there are many passionate people are on this subject but would have to agree that the delivery at times has not appeared to be careful. I always told my kids "It's not what you say but how you say it". Also you catch for flies with honey than vinegar.
