[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You go read that article about the 103 year old woman saying the secret to a long life is drinking 3 Dr peppers a day.  Or the one where the 100 year old man says the secret to health is a daily whiskey.  Then you realize that you need a big dose of humility because eating right is only going to have a marginal impact at best on your health, all things considered, as long as your Dh isn't a raging alcoholic or addict.[/quote]

For most people, eating right will have far more than a MARGINAL impact on your health.  All of the latest research is pointing to chronic inflammation as a major trigger of many illnesses and diseases, and diet is the most significant influence on inflammation. I think, for example, that sugar will be the new tobacco/cigarettes.[/quote]

OMG.  Above is such complete and utter bullshit.  "The latest research."  Yeah, right.  I'd like to see some REPUTABLE cites, please.  As my semi-retired 66 year old doctor mother says "I've been around the block enough on this diet stuff [over the last 40 years as a doctor] to see it is all trends and none of it has yet (in the 40 years I've been watching) to make any appreciable difference (other than the obvious; don't drink/smoke/be overweight)." [/quote]

OMG.  I'm a new poster but you sound totally ignorant and misinformed.  Your mother the doctor sees no correlation between healthy eating habits and decreased risk of cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and many other mostly preventable illnesses?  Thank goodness she isn't my doctor.  :oops: [/quote]
