Meat, dairy may be as detrimental to your health as smoking cigarettes (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024618949)
Eating a diet heavy on meat and cheese may be as harmful to you as smoking a cigarette, researchers claim.
A new study, published in Cell Metabolism on March 4, shows that middle-aged people who eat a diet high in animal proteins from milk, meat and cheese are more likely to die of cancer than someone who eats a low-protein diet. The research also showed the people who ate lots of meat and dairy were more likely to die at an earlier age.
Lots of meat, dairy as bad as smoking: Study
"There's a misconception that because we all eat, understanding nutrition is simple. But the question is not whether a certain diet allows you to do well for three days, but can it help you survive to be 100?" study co-author Valter Longo, Edna M. Jones professor of biogerontology at the USC Davis School of Gerontology and director of the USC Longevity Institute in Los Angeles, said in a press release.
Longo had previously done research on a protein that controls a growth hormone called IGF-I, which aids in body growth. Very high levels of IGF-I have been associated with an increased cancer risk.
People produce less of the growth hormone after the age of 65, at which time they become frailer and lose muscle. While eating a diet high in animal proteins has been frowned upon during middle age, some studies have encouraged older adults to chow down on meats and cheeses because it makes them less likely to develop disease.

Wish they would make up their damn minds. Read an article recently that said old people needed to eat more protein as they get older.
Maybe that was the Obamacare diet for old people....eat mo' protein and hurry up and die.

They were talking about that on Fox News the other morning.

Who wants to live to be 100! Meat will kill you. Dairy products will kill you. Wood burning stoves will kill you.
Hell, birth is a death sentence!

I am betting that living in a Chicago hood will probably lower you life expectancy enormously.

Okay. Eating meat is a negative. Smoking is a negative.
In English a double negative makes a positive so that means eating smoked ham is good for you.

The down side is that those who eat a low-protein diet have a much higher rate of heart attack.

Living is hazardous to your health.

I am in favor of DUmmies following the low protein, high in vegetable diet. It doesn't nourish the body and will make for even wimpier DUmmies.

This just in:
"A study commissioned by the VWRC Research Labs has determined that Obamacare will be more hazardous to your health in one year, than eating red meat, drinking copious quantities of dairy and alcohol, and smoking 2 packs a day for 20 years!!!"

Meat diet, die of cancer.
Vegetable diet, die of a heart attack.
Eat nothing and live forever, if global warming doesn't get you.

100% of humans die. Discuss amongst yourselves, DUmmies. Fret about every freaking decision you make and worry about everything, then you die quicker. Keep at it.
-
At the bare minimum, I'm 30 years past due at the graveyard.

The DUmmies have been doing a pretty good job of dying lately.
We can only hope they keep it up.

Meat? Check!
Cheese? Check
Smokes? Check!
Booze? Check!
Dayum... I wonder how I made it half a century. I should have died 20 years ago.

Through experimentation i have found that a day old chicken mcnugget
burns surprisingly well in a teak-wood briar pipe.
I suggest a clean #14 screen and as usual, check all applicable state and county laws.
