As with most everything there are plenty of contradictory views as well.

There are plenty of contradictory views. In fact there are many cardiologists who have the exact opposite opinion. They believe that most heart, cardiovascular, and weight problems come from excess sugar mostly from carbohydrates. many recommend staying away from carbs and eating mostly low fat proteins in the form of chicken, fish and low fat beef and pork.
I'm not saying that one is right and one is wrong. In fact I am very confused because the evidence presented and results attained by both of these groups is impressive.
I've tried the vegan thing for about three months and I've put on about 10 pounds. I've probably been too much into carbs like rice and pasta, but I find it very difficult to follow the green leafy vegetable diet. It takes a lot of time to make meals and eating out, in spite of what they say is pretty much impossible.
I don't go to doctors anymore so I have no idea what my sugar and cholesterol numbers are. I'll probably go have them checked in January when my new insurance kicks in.
They also say that reasonable alcohol consumption is fine. What is that? Is 2-3 beers a day reasonable?
