I was actually directing my question to Village Pl, but I do appreciate your response. My point was that a Vegan diet and an anti-cancer/Dr. Ornish diet did not prevent Steve Jobs from dying from prostate cancer. Perhaps because it was "in his genes".

Jimbo, as a personal note, I do believe in eating mostly vegetables and fruit, and I haven't eaten red meat in seven years, and my Lab numbers are healthy. But I also strongly believe that moderation is key ... Which Villages Pl says is just a excuse for "bad" behavior.

I think that having friends and fun are way, way more important than being overly restrictive. I think it's a positive thing to meet friends for dinner, to drink wine, and to have occasional treats.
