Of course I do. They eat the same as every other area of the US. Japan practices preventative medicine and the US very much practices reactive medicine. What Americans don't know will hurt them (and shorten their lives). Keep your heads in the sand and keep eating your prime rib and be happy.

I will. I personally eat red meat as much as possible. I like NY Strip steak. I like greasy hamburgers. I get take out from Wendy's with large fries. I use real butter and lots of it. And my LDL is 54. If you think the US doesn't practice preventative medicine, well, let's just say you are sadly misinformed.

Also note that nobody has replied with a LEGITIMATE study---and there is a good reason for that----there aren't any. Sorry to pop your balloon about the facts. But if the lifestyle works for you, by all means continue and feel free to ignore my comment---I'm not going to dictate diet to anyone.
