Olive oil is mainly MONOunsaturated and actively helps reduce LDL cholesterol levels. That's why people in southern Italy manage to stay relatively free of heart disease while those in the north, where the diet owes more to Germany, don't, as don't many of those who move from the south to the north. Second to olive oil in healthiness is safflower oil, but it too is expensive. Sunflower oil is a good compromise. > > > >So, who am I to believe: you or the National Institute of Health?

Oh, wait... we don't care" And I got contaminated with MRSA through going to hospital for regular blood tests. I have to shower with special stuff called HobiScrub and bung Bactroban ointment up my nose now. And what made the Staphylococcus Aureus bacterium resistant to Methicillin?? The most likely cause is farmers injecting such antibiotics into their animals to make them fatten up faster. This is illegal nowadays but when there's money to be made, anything's possible, especially by people as thick and unscrupulous as farmers! > >> > > >> > > > >> > > 3.)

They are high in unsaturated fat, > however. No plant foods contain cholesterol. Dr. Bernard Jensen writes of the avocado in his book "Foods That Heal": "Avocado at its peak contains a high amount of fruit oil. Fruit oil is a rare element, and it gives avocado its smooth, mellow taste and nut-like flavor. Fruit oil also gives the avocado its high food energy value. Unlike most fruit, it contains very few carbohydrates. The avocado contains fourteen minerals, all of which regulate body functions and stimulate growth. Especially noteworthy are its iron and copper contents, which aid in red blood regeneration and the prevention of nutritional anemia. It also contains sodium and potassium, which give this fruit its high alkaline reaction. The avocado contains no starch, little sugar, and has some fibre or cellulose." |

Im vegan and have never thought those things lol...what dreamer thinks
vegans actually act like that???Lol.... it's a generalization and isn't true. I don't know why many meat eaters get angry at vegans, however there definitely are arrogant vegans out there who proclaim they are holier than thou and have a self rightesnouss attitude. So they deserve a little backlash. However that list is a MASSIVE generlization and *most* vegans are more educated than to believe such ludicrous myths. > wrote in message ... > This is funny.

We get a full spectrum of all the necessary amino acids! ![]() Actually those who consume less animal protein are known to do better on intelligence tests. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6180753.stm This doesn't necessarily say that the animal proteins are bad for "running the brain", as you put it.. the reason is more likely to be that people intelligent enough to think about their food are less likely to eat that kind of stuff. |

The study mentioned in that article doesn't reflect what you wrote. Not one bit. > This doesn't necessarily say that the animal proteins are bad for > "running the brain", as you put it.. the reason is more likely to be > that people intelligent enough to think about their food are less > likely to eat that kind of stuff. Which would mean that diet is wholly irrelevant to the issue of intelligence: intelligence isn't affected via adopting certain eating habits, but rather dietary habits can be affected by intelligence. That's hardly newsworthy, but neither is the study itself: five points difference, and many of the "vegetarians" consumed fish and chicken: There was no difference in IQ score between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarian but who reported eating fish or chicken. If there were any significant intellectual differences between vegetarians and meat eaters, they would've distinguished these two groups ("strict vegetarians" and "vegetarians who reported eating fish or chicken") *statistically* rather than by SELF-IDENTIFICATION. But there was no such difference. IOW, it's not what the people in this study actually ate but how they came to think of and describe themselves to the researchers. Like I wrote, it's not newsworthy. |

For instance, I've been getting much more of a buzz recently from sitting down with a pile of data books and a huge graph paper pad and designing circuits using a few dozen CMOS chips etc. for my new security system. That *really* exercises the old grey matter. They worked first time as well, BTW. Might even do a Tesla Coil arrangement for the front door to *really* deter the burglars! Hehehehehee!

They all want to be with their families, exploring and setting off the bombs your people play. |
