I don't unders...Just watched this CNN special. I don't understand people like Bare, who would rather endure having his chest cut open and his arteries re-routed than give up his favorite foods. (To say nothing of the fact that this diet will ultimately kill him.)<br /><br />True--chicken is NOT the healthy alternative to beef. It's full of cholesterol and saturated fat. Excessive consumption of animal-based protein is also strongly linked to the growth of cancerous tumors. <br /><br />Statins are helpful, but I think they do more harm than good by giving people a false sense of security. Changing one's diet drastically is the only way to prevent cardiovascular disease.<br /><br />I'm glad you spoke out about this stuff, skirt.Ollie Wallflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300587872476075629noreply@blogger.com
