The athletic types I mentioned were doctors and high powered corporate owners (engineers)........two of these men cycled all over Europe plus within the U.S.........they were extremely thin and were vegans.
They ate brown rice, veggies, no oil......seeds and nuts, natural stuff.
I doubt if they ate a lot of baked goods as their wives did not bake; if they did it would be some healthy bread.

When you say "high powered corporate owners" who "cycled all over Europe" you're proving my point. They sound like "type A" personalities who overdo everything. Cycling all over Europe and the U.S. is not necessarily a good thing. Over exercising is an unhealthy addiction for some people.

I wasn't talking about me. I was talking about HEALTHY people who did everything RIGHT and still died of cancer. I do believe it was in their genetics. They were non smokers and from what I could tell, at our parties, etc. or dinner, non drinkers.

Over exercising is not my idea of doing everything "RIGHT". Who ever said it was? They tested the limits of their endurance and the result was harmful. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses and they found their weakness. Over exercising can raise cortisol levels in the blood and increase oxidative stress.

I agree. But let's not throw out the baby with the bath water.
