Did anyone see frontline last night? If you eat a low calorie highly nutritious diet all the time (ie veggies, grain, fruits), then you live much much longer than eating fat, sugar, and protien, or even a modestly unnutrutious diet. They had monkies and mice on both diets, and the low cal high nutritious animals lived twice as long and were more active. The key is low cal.

Also, supplements don't mean anything, you have to get all of your nutrition and all of it from natural foods.

heh heh funny, rudder. Reminds me of the Dennis Leary rant about smoking.

"Smoking takes 10 years off your life"
"But they're the worst years, they're the ones at the end! They're the wheelchair, adult-diaper, kidney-dialysis years, you can have those years, we don't f#$%in want 'em!"

What happens when I die from the accumulation of pesticides in my liver from eating all the fruits / vegetables.

So if I eat low cal food, I can keep smoking and drinking and STILL reach my pension?

Heh...I'd rather eat fattening stuff that tastes good and not live as long than eat that shit my whole life.

Hey, I didn't say I'd follow their advice, I personally don't want to live after 70, it's all downhill after that. But I still don't want to eat flesh of animals...

If I had to live without steak, grease, Mickey D's, french fries, chicken wings, and beer, I think I'd be trying to die as soon as possible, not prolong my miserable life. (That list is in no particular order)
