[QUOTE=Cantwaittoarrive;550768]First I didn't criticizen you for anything. My coment was not directed towards you or anything you said. If you feel guilty because what you were truely thinking is what I expressed I guess you should own those feeling. I asked you want makes you qualified to give advice. I think if you expect people to follow or listen to your advice knowing what makes you qualified to give that advice, otherwise your dangerous and so is anyone else that gives advice on diet and health that isn't qualified to give it. I commented on the results of a study I'm in and for some reason you like to try and discredit anyone that isn't on the same path as you, that's so sad that you would be so insecure. I beleive there might be benefits to several different lifestyles including the vegan lifestyle.
But I stand by my statement that advice from unqualified people is dangerous!!

DEAR cantwaittoarrive......
I've known a lot of folks who loved the all meat, fats, etc. diet of years ago.........and who thrived on it as a matter of fact.
For them, just eliminating all the starches and bread products worked like a charm..........
I always believe whatever people have personally experienced as that is their path in life......and if it's the right one for them........so be it.
However, like you, I know that other things work for other folks.
I also know that oftentimes the extremely health conscious type fanatics do not live any longer than an average happy go lucky person who doesn't dwell on their health 24/7.
Nothing in this world is black or white. There are all shades inbetween.
No one body is identical. People who have supposedly done everything "right" by the book re their health, still die young. No one lives forever.
I've tried to explain to the poster you are answering, that I've known plenty of vegans and vegetarians who died young, of cancer, even after following a rigid diet of healthful fruits and veggies and shunning all fatty foods, meats, etc. So, go figure. I don't have the answers, that's for sure........just know that everyone is different and exposed to many other things that might determine whether one continues to enjoy good health or experience bad health. All of my "vegans", etc. were athletes, so they were NOT couch potatoes. They also had cancer in their heredity background.
It may NOT be all about food but about the environment we all live in.
It may just be genetics..
Whenever our plumber cleans our oil furnace, he always states that he'll probably end up with lung cancer......breathing in the oily fumes, which are pretty bad, I might add........he's young, but smart enough to know that. Many "dis eases" are environmental......so unless we all go and live in isolation, we are bound to get something.
Today I'm wondering about these new smart meters they installed on our homes up here..........some say they can cause or activate/speed along existing cancers......similar to cell phone useage.
Just read that we could have opted out. I wonder if they'd bring back our
analog meter??
WE just had a change in electric companies to one in Canada. After reading the long announcement put out by the Environmental Health doctors re the health dangers of these smart meters..........I can't believe we just let the guy install one a few days ago...........
So, live and let live. Personally, I don't really care what anyone else eats as long as the rest of us are free to choose our own path..........
Some days, we may want to eat totally healthy and other days we might want to splurge. Last time I looked it was not a crime. PEACE.
