Dr. Terry Simpson is bariatric surgeon from Arizona. I've linked to his website....browse around, get another perspective on how food impacts our lives and how excess food can impact an individual.
I found it an interesting read. Hope you do also.
Vegans and Cancer:A Diet of Plants Wont Prevent or Cure Cancer | Your Doctor's Orders |
The above link was very very interesting......especially the list of the vegans who got cancer.
Malignancies can be caused by occupational, environmental, genetics making one predisposed to it, no matter what one eats or doesn't eat....and also by various other things one might ingest that are not considered FOOD.
I'll say it again, we know numerous individuals who led the healthy vegan lifestyle, exercised to the extreme and they all are dead. They all died at a younger age, slightly past middle age......from cancer. Their spouses who also followed the rigid "non eating" and exercise to the extreme, have also had numerous breast cancers. All of these folks were highly educated and very well off; traveled the world, took their health seriously.
Hobnobbed with doctors. Cycled, skiied, hiked, all the healthy activities.
When your number is up, your number is up.
I think a peaceful mind, a kind and joyful heart and a gentle soul goes a long way towards longevity........rather than obsessing over what NOT to eat.
