[QUOTE="MCMLXXIII, post: 602048, member: 55169"] Hello I take your point, but it's a reference from an opinion of funded science or study, in a narrow timescale. Take a holistic approach for a moment, the Med diet didn't start in the 1950's, that's simply the study reference point. I do appreciate it's findings but if we considered that their lifestyle started in the fifties then we're very much mistaken, their diet, lifestyle and culture has been modelled into what they are now for hundreds of years. When I was last there almost all the men smoked, (not an example I advocate) still, statistically they remain a nation who have one of the biggest lifespans in the world. Do we think Vegetarianism was invented in 1944? The term vegan was, but if we believe there weren't practicing vegetarians before then then that's frankly silly, take several Indian cultures as an example. On that point I will also add that Vegans have an incredibly good record when it comes to heart disease. We could go on, but where does it end, from Atkins to Paleo there are advocates and doubters yet science insists on debunk and classification. God help homeopathy then.:) If anyone says to me that's cobblers I say then sniffing Glue doesn't have a reaction either? (I don't). I have learned to keep an open mind and if you see my previous threads you'll see that I'm med free type 2. So I can say with some confidence that I'm doing okay. I respect all viewpoints on this thread and it makes me think of how butter got such a bad rap yet once again I'm hearing the words super food in the same sentence. As anyone to takes a positive approach to their health on these forums will tell you we all have different approaches and medications or diets which we workaround to better ourselves. But of late there is a trend for one article to vent via social media which tells you this or that is good or bad and I would rather not be so easily swayed myself. I can give you raspberry ketones as an example of this, or the jury being out on dairy products and non-dairy alternatives such as almond milk performing beyond expectations. Everyone armed with a science paper or journal seems to be an immediate authority on a given subject. This is a symptom itself on information now being so readily available on the internet. [/QUOTE]
