please don't provide such lazy sources for your broad generalizations. I would challenge you to provide a study that used WHOLE fruit as the variable (not fruit juice or sugar alone) and showed it had a negative effect on insulin respo

Yep. We have multiple examples of multigenerational communities that regularly live to 100+. Poorly done studies like this one only serve to obscure the truth about what we should be eating for longevity.

1. The study you referenced included 28 participants and utilized food frequency questionnaires. Maybe you have something more substantial? Because that is pretty weak on multiple levels. 2. Nobody is referencing the China Study here. It is
