I think there is nothing wrong with that as long as you feel healthy and are healthy. I think the point of the submitted post was that the author did not eat animal products and became very unhealty. That's pretty much it ...

I think if plants can't move, that puts them into even worse circumstances compared to animals. At least animals can try to get away from the danger, plants do not even have means for that. I feel more sorry for the plants now. Way to discr

No one actually knows the living preferences of a chicken or a cow. But does anyone know, without any doubt, the living preferences of a potato or an apple tree?

But people often do not care enough to change their "choices", even when the negative results are obvious. There must be a reason for that.

Okay, I see the point. It is quite obvious with the pants - "pants keep me warm and protect from poison ivy, therefore they are good for me". With food, not so obvious. "Chips and pizza with coke are tasty and make me happy, therefore they

According to every eating school of thought, at least half of these are very bad. Yet I am perfectly healthy. What I personally would be worried about is the long-term effects. Unfortunately, these would be very hard to pinpoint as it wou

It really is an eye opener. I was blown away when I started reading about it all. Some good resources if you're interested. I totally agree to that. Those sources changed the way I was thinking about human health and nutrition completely.

In general though, it's not wise to discredit professionals just because they may disagree on certain things in their field. Unless the field is fully understood (I'm not aware of one which is!), you'll see that. I'd say that the field is

If there's not enough glycogen in the liver and/or muscles and you are not getting any sugar from food, the body starts degrading your bodies' protein to convert glucogenic aminoacids to glucose But if you have dietary glucogenic aminoaci

What's the best advice to take? That from a doctor, dietitian, or nutritionist. Not some yahoo on the internet. Well, that's a good advice in theory, but did you notice how many doctors, dietitians and nutritionists have contradicting po

Not quite relevant, but I do not have a practice of skipping breakfast. I am trying however, once in a week or two, to fast for 24-36 hours. This is called "intermittent fasting" and has been shown to produce positive effects. http://en.

Basically, your body runs on glucose. Everything else is a stop gap for you to get more glucose. But don't forget that the body can make quite a lot of the glucose using a process called gluconeogenesis. And substances like amino acids, g

Maybe the supplement is not worth it, but the ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 has been shown to be important. The proper ratio should be somewhat close to 1:1, but the current western diet is more like 10:1 (10 omega 6, 1 omega 3) http://www.n

I think the argument may exist that if you didn't die from alcohol abuse early enough, then your body might have higher than average resistance towards various harmful substances. Therefore, alcohol usage is just correlation, while the real

Those who have already died from alcohol related causes can not be included into the study, which would much reduce the longevity among alcohol users?

Carbs, protein I recently started to dismiss comments that include statements like "all carbs you need, all protein you need" etc. as not only useless, but actually harmful. The source of carbs, fats, proteins is way more important than
