I understand some of these new studies are just repeating old studies. Everything in moderation should include greed. 500 lbs of any food taken at once is likely fatal, but who would try to do that? Still, somebody might get paid half a million for warning us. Can't help but think of Benjamin Franklin living to about 84, despite being fat. Our 1st 10 presidents lived from 67 to 90 years, without all these articles. Best wishes.

Not a chance I hate hummus and tofu and almond milk and soy milk and blah, blah, blah, besides next week it will be bad for your health to be vegan, vegetarian, carnivore or gosh even human.

only problem with that: I have tried every low fat cheese there is and it is not the same..as for addictive, and living in Wisconsin, try addictive, living in another region of the country and having to pay more than you do for good cheese.

I tried vegan once. His breath stunk and he farted too much. Give me a man who likes his steak.

I think the problem is that having been raised on diets rich in meat and dairy (milk, cream, cheese, ice cream, etc) it's tough to let go and make a slight change, much less drop them altogether. It's like an addiction of sorts. That's why there's so much rationalizing and denying. Just my opinion.

It's not hard at all, especially if you're someone who -over-does it, rather than does it modestly and wants to cut down.

If you usually have 8 slices of bacon with your 3-egg swiss-cheese and mushroom omelet, it's very easy to cut down to only 6 slices of bacon, 2 eggs, and half the amount of cheese.

Compare to someone who only has bacon once a month, and then, only 2 slices, with 1 egg omelet, and only a pinch of cheese. There's not much there to cut down on. The attempt will be more difficult.

There's no *medical* reason why any *HEALTHY* person should feel the need to eliminate meat from their menu. However, if you are overeating meat (such as a sirloin every night and half a roast chicken every day for lunch, with bacon every morning) - you might benefit from reducing.

In our lifetime there has never been as much information readily and easily available to the public as there is now. Research is showing that all sorts of health issues have been pointing to diet, and it's generally the things associated with animal products. The way I look at it, it's like saying to someone "Dont smoke two packs of cigarettes a day, but one or two is ok; that won't hurt you."

The 108 year old man became frail *before* he started eating the allegedly worse diet. It didn't say if the other people in his small town that are living to very old ages have the same diet.

Which is safer, Tobacco or food with built-in cancer? Is everyone doomed to be in danger except those who eat organic?
