Actually, what I mean is why ruin one's quality of life on the basis of pure theory. For every life-saving diet report, there is a study that invalidates it. Not one thing that a human can digest (other than poison) is bad for you when consumed in moderation. Most of the things that cause cancer in animals only do so in HUGE quantities. Bad things are not universally bad and that is the fatal flaw in all of the medical advice. For example, my grandparents consumed red meat, starch and fried foods in prodigious quantities well into their 80s until they were killed in a car accident.
