Yes.....to all of the above.....
..........or worse yet, die at age 60 from terminal lung cancer that spread to the brain and elsewhere after vigorous chemo and the best of surgery at Mount Sinai Hospital and also treatment at Sloan Kettering In New York City.....
Non smoking male. Avid competitive cyclist, cycled all over the world.
Ate a rigid vegetarian diet. Bone thin to the extreme. Successful businessman and owner of a large modern manufacturing plant; college grad. Engineer. Did everything right as far as his health was concerned but still suffered for years before dying at age 60. Entire family is bone thin; the daughter is a vegan; the wife a vegetarian (she has had years of cancer as well, but still alive).
All of that exercise and deprivation didn't help this guy at all.
He also played tennis and other sports........but cycling was his thing.
I do realize this thread began re heart disease, but this friend's lung cancer (even with all the best surgery and treatment), eventually somehow "wrapped around his heart muscle" according to what his wife told me.....
Sometimes I wonder if all the "fumes" he might have breathed in while cycling competitively and for pleasure..........didn't contribute to his lung cancer as he never smoked. So much for eating healthy when the environment might have played a role.
When I've mentioned this before, someone keeps calling it an "anecdote" when it is the God's honest truth.
People who fear death are the ones who constantly weigh every morsel of food that passes their lips rather than just enjoy the life that God gave them for however long that is.........

This young woman obviously has not lived as long as many of us........
Yet, she still has something worthwhile to say, explaining why she thinks a vegan diet is not healthy.
It's a long blog....so please keep scrolling down.....
