[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sugar doesn't cause diabetes.  Excess weight does.  You can eat all the sugar/carbs you want, so long as you use it for energy (burn it off) and it doesn't get stored as fat.  If you are gaining weight, you are not burning off what you eating and are eating too much.  That puts you at highest risk for health problems.

Meat IS a huge contributor to cancer.  Especially red meat. Red meat, charred meats, smoked meats, processed meats have all been linked to several GI cancers.

To optimize health the most important things are:

1) Don't overeat and keep your weight in heathy/normal range
2) Eat a lot of vegetables and fruit
3) Eat whole grains
4) Eat beans and legumes and nuts
5) Eat fish twice per week 
6) limit alcohol 
7) limit processed foods, store bought garbage 
8) limit red meat

But yes, there is a huge role genetics play into whether you will develop cancer regardless of diet and lifestyle.  You can only do so much

OP here. Thanks for posting all this! So, What the Health says the same thing, pretty much. Something is in the ground and animals eat it. And no organic or pasture-raised helps at all.
But, how come veggies grow from the same ground, but are better?[/quote]

I’m not sure what it is exactly.  But red meat seems to cause an inflammatory response within the GI system.  Chicken has no clinical significant difference to developing cancer though.  Diets high in fiber, specifically fiber from whole grains, lower risk of the GI cancers. The fiber from fruits and vegetables did not provide the same cancer protection and benefits, though fruits and vegetables provide antioxidant and other means of cancer protection.  But the studies I read stress getting a couple servings of real whole grain per day for best GI health.  [/quote]
