Re: Just wanted to share with you :)))



When I went on a vegan diet, I lost weight too (and I was already
thin). Death makes one thin, too, along with chemotherapy. Be
careful what you wish for!

This does bring up a point I often make to people, and it should be
basic common sense: if you replace a terribly unhealthy diet with
moderately unhealthy diet, the latter will appear as some sort of
"miracle cure," but the long-term effects are unknown. Moreover,
"lowering cholesterol" is hailed as some sort of great accomplishment,
when even Ancel Keys pointed out that overall mortality is lowest in
the 200 to 220 range, and that was before the evidence was in, and
oxidized LDL was found to be the cause of the vast majority of "heart
disease" (in Western nations in particular).
