    The "Western" diet--one especially high in red and processed meats and
    refined grain--linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, stroke,
    colon cancer, and heart disease in women.
    The report's lead author, noted that the "Western" eating pattern high
    in red and processed meats, also has been linked in recent past
    studies to an increased risk of stroke, colon cancer, and heart
    disease.

    Nutrition Professor Teresa Fung of the Simmons College School for
    Health Studies, noted that with this new analysis. " we can add
    diabetes to the list. I think this is another reason to shift away
    from that type of diet."

    The new study found that the "Western diet" high in red and processed
    meats and refined grains, as opposed to a diet low in those
    foodstuffs, is associated with an elevated risk of type 2 diabetes in
    women.

    "Therefore," the study concluded, "it may be prudent to reduce
    consumption of these foods items to decrease the risk of type 2
    diabetes."

    Fung says that for a long time, it was uncertain whether diet directly
    affects the risk of type 2 diabetes. While it is well known that
    obesity increases the risk, and diet is related to obesity, little
    data was available to see if diet has any influence beyond its effect
    on weight. Fung's study broke away from the traditional way of looking
    at foods one at a time to see if they were related to diabetes risk,
    and instead looked at an individual's entire dietary pattern.

    Seriously what is your problem? Do you seriously buy into that simple
    minded BS?? I will tell you what is the main characteristic of the
    "western" diet moron. It is liquid polyunsaturated vegetable oils and
    hydrogenated vegetable shortenings. THAT smart guy is what
    distinguishes the "western" diet from other healthy traditional diets
    around the world, MANY of which include red meat but NONE of them!!
    NONE include large amounts of liquid/hydrogenated veg oils if any at
    all. The fact that those things were not even mentioned is appalling
    and a total joke. Even someone so obviously blind as you should see
    that simple fact. Can you seriously not get that through your head?
    Are you that incompetent?? Are you so stupid that you can not come to
    that simple real conclusion for yourself? Are you really unable to
    take into account ALL the facts and ALL the elements of modern western
    diets as well as various other diets around the world and honestly and
    logically analyses and compare them. If you did you would be able to
    single out elements which are most likely to be responsible for poor
    health. Red meat is simply not one of them. While they got it partly
    right in naming refined carbs even that is not the main distinguishing
    factor of poor diets as there are some healthy peoples who do eat a
    moderate amount of such things. However the fact that they left out
    the true factor that STICKS OUT LIKE A [censored] SORE THUMB is absurd.
    It is just as absurd for you to go along with it without even raising
    a question. You need to start using your [censored] brain and think a
    little harder instead of regurgitating garbage like that. You must
    not just compare diets of today with each other but take into account
    diet patterns of the last 100 years. As I know you understand the
    "modernized" or "western" diet is always followed by poor health
    within a short time of a previously traditional diet being abandoned
    during the modernization of a population. The number one factor
    involved in the modernization of diet are cheap manufactured
    liquid/hydrogenated vegetable fats being introduced into a previously
    traditional diet. It happened first in the US 100 years ago which is
    why we are so far ahead of other countries in poor health. Other
    countries who were modernized later in the century or have yet to be
    modernized and still eat more traditional diets or did not fully
    modernize their diets along with their society like Japan. Do not
    take my word for it just look at this quote from the Agricultural
    Utilization Research Institute about the edible oil industry.

    "Worldwide vegetable oil consumption (of which soybean oil represents
    28%) is growing at a faster rate than population—4.1% compared to 1.3%
    compounded over the past five years. As the developing world continues
    to improve its standard of living, this trend will continue. Per
    capita vegetable oil consumption is a good measure of a country's
    prosperity."

    And there you have it. The true food of prosperity and modernization.
    THAT is what the modern "western" diet is all about. That is why it
    is so unhealthy. And for some strange reason it is almost never
    mentioned in any talk of unhealthy modern western diets by the
    mainstream medical establishment. I wonder why. hmmm. Of course that
    is understandable considering the influence of certain interests.
    What is not understandable is your dumb compliance and total lack of
    any ability to question or think for yourself. You need a big reality
    check.

  4. My great grandmother lived to age 96. She cooked with lard and used butter
    and cream. Eggs and bacon were a regular item on her diet. No margarine in
    that lady's diet! Oh and she loved ice cream.

    And then there is the old guy who dies at 102 who has smoked since he
    was 12, and had a shot of whiskey every day since 16. Died with all
    his faculties intact, being shot on the nest by a jealous husband.

    Or the guy of 43 who fell off the perch from CVD from smoking and
    eating too much? Biological variation comes to mind.

  7. It seems that longevity is common for my mother's side of the family.
    My grandfather, who was born in 1887, smoked since he was 9 years old.
    He died of cancer ..... at 85 years of age. One of my uncles died at
    age 91 while the other is alive and kicking at age 89. Mom is 82 ...
    the baby of the family.

    You are so full of [censored]. A dumb [censored] like you couldnt give a rational
    response even if you tried. You can not respond to the reality which
    you chose to ignore. My points about diets are more valid and
    relevant than any garbage you spew and there really is nothing you can
    say to counter or explain away such reality so you just ignore it.
    The data is there. The research is there. The facts and the evidence
    are all there you are just too damn stupid to accept it.

  9. I found a great free recourse site to help people manage their weight
    loss and live a healthy lifestyle. I used a few of their tips and lost
    a ton of weight.

    Hope this helps you also 🙂
