If you don't like that comparison, I challenge you to eat a pound of lard per week for the next year. I'll pay for your funeral. Just saying that if you understood the metabolism of fats and carbs that you will see that a lot of the bad stuff about fat is malligned. Demonized based on the fat hypothesis and that everyones cholesterol should be minimised by avoiding fat. I'm not saying eat the bad fats- they are obviously bad (transfats particualrly). If your running a surplus of carbs you will be doing far more damage IMO. | ||

Once you ween yourself off them you can find plenty of great tasting food which is good for you. Berries for example personally would much rather eat a punnet of fresh raspberries over any candy and raspberries are oh so nutritious. I don't see any support for the literal clinical support for an actual addiction to carbs and sugars. I think the claim here can be likened to somebody saying they're addicted to American Idol or chocolate. It's said based on how much they like doing something when no addiction is present. | ||

You are going to do eventually. Attempt to cut out things that are bad for you and live life in the best possible way for you. If you happen to pass on at 35 at least you gave it a shot in the end you won't remember anything anyways, but you won't have left a stain behind. | ||

Also bacon doesn't kill you. Worrying about bacon killing you probably kills just as fast, if not faster than bacon. If I'm wrong someone find me the LD50 of bacon. You can't because there isn't one. | ||

Try Y or Z i dont see how X has 2 different meaning if 100 people will die happy then X=100 so if 100% means 10 000 then the what he said is 10 000 people will die 10 000 - 100 will die sad 100 will die happy | ||

Also no where in the table do they show like % of meals they cook themselves, ready meals they put in the oven/micro, if they visit a dietist, amount of cigarettes they smoke, if they're in a happy relationship, if they have any mental problems like depression or anxiety and if they're on any medications. They might have, but not included it in the table, but isn't that things you'd like to point out specifically to like say "we crossed all t's and dotted all i's for this"? | ||

I thought it was common knowledge that bacon wasn't very good for you, I mean, just look at all the grease that comes out when you fry it. Also, my dad is always warning me away from red meats, so I try and stick to chicken instead in my own cooking. And fish as well if it wasn't so expensive :O | ||

I would say that THAT is a quite big difference in life style, which could also explain the increased risk of death. but they glance over it saying "In addition, a higher red meat intake was associated with a higher intake of total energy [...]" but that was it. Also no where in the table do they show the level of active life style or health conciousness people might be. Like % of meals they cook themselves, ready meals they put in the oven/micro, if they visit a dietist, amount of cigarettes they smoke, their weight, if they're in a happy relationship, if they have any mental problems like depression or anxiety and if they're on any medications. They might have, but not included it in the table, but isn't that things you'd like to point out specifically to like say "we crossed all t's and dotted all i's for this"? Those first table shows the aggregate data for each quintile to give you a sense of what the groups look like. When they do the analyses on mortality they take into account caloric intake, lifestyle etc. That's what pops up under the multivariate analysis row for the mortality tables. If you want to know the full list of what they controlled for look at the statistical analysis paragraph. | ||
