We've evolved to eat such things. 'All-bran' and 'weetabix' bushes? (That's 'nonsense'). We haven't evolved to eat large amounts of course grain-fibre. Well we've certainly survived it. And that's what really counts. because vegetables alone didn't fill me up. Nuts, seeds, legumes, cereals, sweet fruits, roots, leafy greens, rice? But the pasta and bread didn't fill me up either! Wholegrain or refined? I could eat unlimited quantities of starchy foods, seemingly, and never feel satiated. You may have been missing out some higher protein plant-foods. (Were you drinking 'diet' cokes, etc?). Eliminating those foods has made it a lot easier to eat less, and I feel a lot better too. For cutting out all the wheat, no doubt. Meat is a nutritionally dense food, meat eating animals don't need to eat nearly as frequently to survive as plant eating animals do. Meat is a high protein food, in fact so high that it's unhealthy for us. More nonsense! Do you regard eggs as unhealthy? Animal product consumption and mortality because of all causes combined, coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer in Seventh-day Adventists. Noticed they are nearly all skinny as rakes?

This report reviews, contrasts, and illustrates previously published findings from a cohort of 27,529 California Seventh-day Adventist adults who completed questionnaires in 1960 and were followed for mortality between 1960 and 1980. Within this population, meat consumption was positively associated with mortality because of all causes of death combined (in males), coronary heart disease (in males and females), and diabetes (in males). Egg consumption was positively associated with mortality because of all causes combined (in females), coronary heart disease (in females), and cancers of the colon (in males and females combined) and ovary. Milk consumption was positively associated with only prostate cancer mortality, and cheese consumption did not have a clear relationship with any cause of death. The consumption of meat, eggs, milk, and cheese did not have negative associations with any of the causes of death investigated. PMID: 3046303 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] Sorry. Otherwise, plant foods are far richer than meat in most nutrients, and we can obtain all the essential nutrients we require, in suitable and balanced amounts; sans all the unhealthy anti-nutrients in meat. What ARE you talking about? What part isn't clear? The assertion abour anti-nutrients in meat. I think one of the things that gets missed in the debate about low-carb diets is that for the people who respond well to it, you end up eating less overall than before. The conclusion in the in-depth documentary I saw, was that protein satiates appetite very quickly. But you could just as easily eat plant foods that are high in protein, such as nuts and legumes, also rice. Potatoes are the most satiating, when you measure it scientifically. I find a diet comprised of a variety of quality plant foods very satiating. I agree. But that doesn't mean that a little meat shouldn't be included in this variety. |

Again- you were given a reference. And you think that organic propaganda is a good source of unbiased information? Try again. The cobalt in plants depends on the cobalt in the soils. Many conventional ag soils are rich in cobalt, and when grazing animals the cobalt, if low, will be ammended. 'Mineral content: This may be the most important nutritional difference between organic and regular produce since heavy use of fertilizer inhibits absorption of some minerals, which are likely to be at lower levels to begin with in soils that have been abused. This may be caused in part by the lack of beneficial mycorrhizae fungi on the roots since high levels of fertilizer tend to kill them. Standard diets tend to be low in various minerals, resulting in a variety of problems including osteoporosis. http://math.ucsd.edu/~ebender/Health...s/organic.html A pathetic reference, sorry. Above it says "may" -- but it isn't, except in organic biased propaganda. Assuming that conventional farmers use high levels of fertilisers and that they abuse their soils is just as silly as assuming that organic farmers do the same. Organic farmers are just prevented from replenishing the nutrients that are exported in the crop. Organic methods preclude all of this ammendment and so, on average, organic grown will be lower in cobalt. 'The emerging nutritional crisis of B12 deficiency calls for remedial action in the macro- as well as micro-environment. Broad-spectrum remineralization of topsoils using crushed rock or dried seaweed from ocean areas known to contain sufficient cobalt can reestablish mineral balances necessary for healthy food supply able to fulfill our requirement, both direct and indirect, for B12 . And how much diesel are you going to burn carting seaweed to Kansas? Using seaweed should be banned. It is unsustainable for the seaboard environment. The cobalt connection is especially relevant to us growing our own food, since cobalt-deficient areas likely are well-established. Beyond promoting remineralization to the farm community, we can adopt the practice in our gardens.' http://www.championtrees.org/topsoil/b12coblt.htm Crushed rock is vitually useless unless you have hundreds of years to wait, or you crush it so fine using inordinate amounts of precious energy. And anyway, most organic silliness precludes quarrying of anything. Although some allow toxic and persistent Bordeaux mixture on grape vines Go figure. Poisons the pickers. What is wrong with adding minuscule amounts of cobalt chloride to the irrigation water? That's what I did when I had large fishponds. Try a more balanced reference like USDA or similar. It should be noted that in the UK 'organic' is the same as 'sustainable' in the US. I'm aware that 'organic' farming in the US isn't the real deal. Organic in the US varies from state to state. Each one has its own ridiculous list of preclusions. No agriculture is sustainable. The closest will be where the nutrients are replenished as they are used up. |

Last , and probably the most harmful--various acids and toxins produced in the colon by bacterial putrification of improperly digested remnants of cooked, high-fat, high-protein food which enter the bloodstream in the water reabsorbed from the colon back into the circulation. ... The most poisonous form of toxemia, however, originates in the colon (large bowel) because of constipation, which on the Western diet is unavoidable due to a lack of dietary fiber. It must be understood that a person can be "as regular as clockwork" and still be constipated. On a natural diet of mainly fruit and vegetables (raw), low in protein and fat, the indigestible cellulose remnants are quickly processed for elimination on reaching the colon by the normal aerobic bacteria there and are then readily defecated, having made the entire transit of the digestive tract in about twenty-four hours. However, when the undigested remnants of a high-fat, high-protein diet arrive in the colon they are difficult to break down further, and the normal aerobic bacteria must change in form to an anaerobic form which putrefies the remnants and produces different acids and toxic chemicals. Because meat, chicken, fish, dairy products and refined carbohydrates are completely lacking in fiber, the process is slow moving. Thus the "transit time" of the Western diet is about seventy-two hours instead of twenty-four, giving the potent toxins ample time to be absorbed into the body by way of the bile circulation and to set up the irritation which leads to appendicitis and bowel cancer. ..' http://www.soilandhealth.org/02/0201...020122ch3.html Nitrogen waste products .... Certain compounds that are produced in the digestion of the food are toxic and cause harm in different tissues. When there is intestinal dysbiosis these compounds are found in high quantities. Probiotics will reduce the dysbiosis and thereby the accumulation of toxic waste products. When protein is digested through the action of these harmful intestinal micro-organisms, directly or indirectly, a variety of nitrogen waste products will be produced, such as ammonia, urea, indols, phenols, nitrites and nitrosamines. These toxic items could in a later sequence influence the outcome of different unhealthy conditions, such as chronic diseases where the immune system is seriously involved. They also promote the development of polyarthritis and skin diseases. Normally the liver is able to detoxify all these toxins. However, if the load is heavy and prolonged, the liver will not be able to cleanse completely. Detoxification and retoxification Certain beneficial bacteria are able to neutralise toxic metabolites. This is called detoxification. The opposite is retoxification. It is conversion of non-harmful products to harmful ones. Probiotics reduce the pH in the intestine causing the activity of the coliform putrefactive bacteria, such as bacteroides and clostridia to be inhibited. The production of their metabolites will then be reduced. Additionally the absorption of these is impaired, resulting in them being excreted in the faeces. Conjugation and deconjugation One of the methods the liver uses is to neutralise toxins by conjugating them with glucuronic acid, thereby creating glucuronides. This process is called conjugation. When these are excreted from the gallbladder out into the intestine, it is given the capability to get rid of toxins. When there is a dysbiotic condition in the intestine, certain bacterias improve their ability to digest these conjugates. This is called deconjugation. The toxins are reabsorbed into the blood. The result is retoxification.' http://www.positivehealth.com/permit...th/probiot.htm Asia Pacific J Clin Nutr (1996) Vol5, No 1: 2-9 Intestinal flora and human health Tomotari Mitsuoka, DVM, PhD Professor Emeritus, The University of Tokyo, Japan ... Other intestinal bacteria produce substances that are harmful to the host, such as putrefactive products, toxins and carcinogenic substances. When harmful bacteria dominate in the intestines, essential nutrients are not produced and the level of harmful substances rises. These substances may not have an immediate detrimental effect on the host but they are thought to be contributing factors to ageing, promoting cancer, liver and kidney disease, hypertension and arteriosclerosis, and reduced immunity. Little is known regarding which intestinal bacteria are responsible for these effects. A number of factors can change the balance of intestinal flora in favour of harmful bacteria. These include peristalsis disorders, surgical operations of stomach or small intestine, liver or kidney diseases, pernicious anaemia, cancer, radiation or antibiotic therapies, immune disorders, emotional stress, poor diet and ageing. ..... The intestinal flora may play an important role in the causation of cancer and ageing Dietary factors are considered important environmental risk determinants for colorectal cancer development. From epidemiological observations, a high fat intake is associated positively and a high fibre intake negatively with colorectal cancer. This is thought to occur by the following mechanisms. From food components in the gastrointestinal tract, organisms produce various carcinogens from the dietary components and endogenous substances, detoxify carcinogens, or enhance the host's immune function, which results in changes in the incidence of cancers. The ingestion of large amounts of animal fat enhances bile secretion, causing an increase in bile acid and cholesterol in the intestine. These increased substances are converted by intestinal bacteria into secondary bile acids, their derivatives, aromatic polycyclic hydrocarbons, oestrogen and epoxides derivatives that are related to carcinogenesis. Various tryptophan metabolites (indole, skatole, 3-hydroxykinurenine, 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid, etc.) phenols, amines, and nitroso compounds produced by intestinal bacteria from protein also participate in carcinogenesis (Fig. 5). ... Figure 5. Relationships among diet, intestinal bacteria and cancer. Recent epidemiological studies have revealed that insufficient intake of dietary fibre is associated with high incidences of Western diseases such as colorectal cancer, obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension. Ingested dietary fibre causes increased volume of faeces, dilution of noxious substances, and shortening of the transit time of intestinal contents, resulting in early excretion of noxious substances such as carcinogens produced by intestinal bacteria.

In article , "pearl" wrote: A good quality veg*n diet would be healthier and if it's weight that concerns you; A vegan diet may very well be healthy for some people, maybe even for me. I used to be semi-vegetarian, I ate fish but not too frequently. Anyway, the problem was that I ate too much pasta and bread on that diet, That can happen, and when eaten in excess, So can anything. Eating in excess is surely agreed to be a bad thing? Aren't you just be argumentative for the sake of it? Not at all, can't you see my point? You seem to be saying that overeating pasta/bread (carbs) is what was causing the problems, I'm saying that "any" excess energy intake from whatever source causes the same problems. If I'm reading you wrong, I'm sorry. S'ok. What I'm saying is that ongoing excess consumption of wheat will often precipitate a wheat-specific allergic response. Eating anything in excess may result in some problems as well, I agree. can produce a craving as well as allergic response (headaches, tiredness, fuzzy-headedness, abdominal discomfort, bloating, tinnitus (referred) [especially with, wheat-bran, shredded wheat, and weetabix, .. Evidence? Or is this just personal opinion? Evidence to what? Your ipse dixit Symptoms of allergic response to wheat, or the part about tinnitus? The former is well known, In a very few people, so what? You admit it's not just my ipse dixit then. the latter I learned during my training, As what? As a reflexologist. I hope you are not appealing to authority? No, just answering your question 'Evidence? Or is this just personal opinion?'. and has been confirmed many times during almost ten years of clinical practice. As what? A reflexologist. Anecdotal I know, but I doubt I could do any better than that in this case, sorry. So it is meaningless? Thanks. It might be meaningless to you. Probably not to the tinnitus-suffering all-bran/weetabix/shredded-wheat eating folks reading this though. all of which are highly abrasive to the colon, especially the ileo-caecal valve, situated between the small and large intestine- just above the appendix]). Nonsense. We've evolved to eat such things. 'All-bran' and 'weetabix' bushes? (That's 'nonsense'). We haven't evolved to eat large amounts of course grain-fibre. Well we've certainly survived it. And that's what really counts. 'Survived it' in what sense? As a species? We're discussing individual's health, not surviving as a species. because vegetables alone didn't fill me up. Nuts, seeds, legumes, cereals, sweet fruits, roots, leafy greens, rice? But the pasta and bread didn't fill me up either! Wholegrain or refined? I could eat unlimited quantities of starchy foods, seemingly, and never feel satiated. You may have been missing out some higher protein plant-foods. (Were you drinking 'diet' cokes, etc?). Eliminating those foods has made it a lot easier to eat less, and I feel a lot better too. For cutting out all the wheat, no doubt. Meat is a nutritionally dense food, meat eating animals don't need to eat nearly as frequently to survive as plant eating animals do. Meat is a high protein food, in fact so high that it's unhealthy for us. More nonsense! Do you regard eggs as unhealthy? Animal product consumption and mortality because of all causes combined, coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer in Seventh-day Adventists. Noticed they are nearly all skinny as rakes? I have. Funny that, because many of them aren't vegetarians! Snowdon DA. Division of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. This report reviews, contrasts, and illustrates previously published findings from a cohort of 27,529 California Seventh-day Adventist adults who completed questionnaires in 1960 and were followed for mortality between 1960 and 1980. Within this population, meat consumption was positively associated with mortality because of all causes of death combined (in males), coronary heart disease (in males and females), and diabetes (in males). Egg consumption was positively associated with mortality because of all causes combined (in females), coronary heart disease (in females), and cancers of the colon (in males and females combined) and ovary. Milk consumption was positively associated with only prostate cancer mortality, and cheese consumption did not have a clear relationship with any cause of death. The consumption of meat, eggs, milk, and cheese did not have negative associations with any of the causes of death investigated. PMID: 3046303 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] Have you taken note of that? Otherwise, plant foods are far richer than meat in most nutrients, and we can obtain all the essential nutrients we require, in suitable and balanced amounts; sans all the unhealthy anti-nutrients in meat. What ARE you talking about? What part isn't clear? The assertion abour anti-nutrients in meat. Yes. I really should have written 'components' instead. I think one of the things that gets missed in the debate about low-carb diets is that for the people who respond well to it, you end up eating less overall than before. The conclusion in the in-depth documentary I saw, was that protein satiates appetite very quickly. But you could just as easily eat plant foods that are high in protein, such as nuts and legumes, also rice. Potatoes are the most satiating, when you measure it scientifically. I find a diet comprised of a variety of quality plant foods very satiating. I agree. But that doesn't mean that a little meat shouldn't be included in this variety. 'In short, disease rates were significantly associated within a range of dietary plant food composition that suggested an absence of a disease prevention threshold. That is, the closer a diet is to an all-plant foods diet, the greater will be the reduction in the rates of these diseases.' http://www.news.cornell.edu/releases...sis_paper.html OBSERVED-TO-EXPECTED CORONARY HEART DISEASE MORTALITY IN ADVENTIST MEN Total Vegetarians 14% Lacto-Ovo-Vegetarians 39% Meat Users 56% Phillips et al.

Archeological evidence is very sparse and often contradictory in my experience on a much lower-carb diet. Whoa! Some ate a lot of meat and some ate little. Some ate lots of fish some ate little or none. Most gathered seeds and fruits and juices and tubers.... Larger skeletons, better tetth, stuff of that sort. In some, and not in others. 'Anthropologically speaking, humans were high consumers of calcium until the onset of the Agricultural Age, 10,000 years ago. Current calcium intake is one-quarter to one-third that of our evolutionary diet and, if we are genetically identical to the Late Paleolithic Homo sapiens, we may be consuming a calcium-deficient diet our bodies cannot adjust to by physiologic mechanisms. The anthropological approach says, with the exception of a few small changes related to genetic blood diseases, that humans are basically identical biologically and medically to the hunter-gatherers of the late Paleolithic Era.17 During this period, calcium content of the diet was much higher than it is currently. Depending on the ratio of animal to plant foods, calcium intake could have exceeded 2000 mg per day.17 Calcium was largely derived from wild plants, which had a very high calcium content; animal protein played a small role, and the use of dairy products did not come into play until the Agricultural Age 10,000 years ago. Compared to the current intake of approximately 500 mg per day for women age 20 and over in the United States,18 hunter-gatherers had a significantly higher calcium intake and apparently much stronger bones. As late as 12,000 years ago, Stone Age hunters had an average of 17-percent more bone density (as measured by humeral cortical thickness). Bone density also appeared to be stable over time with an apparent absence of osteoporosis.17 High levels of calcium excretion via renal losses are seen with both high salt and high protein diets, in each case at levels common in the United States.10,11 .. The only hunter-gatherers that seemed to fall prey to bone loss were the aboriginal Inuit (Eskimos). Although their physical activity level was high, their osteoporosis incidence exceeded even present-day levels in the United States. The Inuit diet was high in phosphorus and protein and low in calcium.20 http://www.thorne.com/altmedrev/full...alcium4-2.html 'Ethnographic parallels with modern hunter-gatherer communities have been taken to show that the colder the climate, the greater the reliance on meat. There are sound biological and economic reasons for this, not least in the ready availability of large amounts of fat in arctic mammals. From this, it has been deduced that the humans of the glacial periods were primarily hunters, while plant foods were more important during the interglacials.
