OK, guys. First of all, I'm 5-8 and weigh 168 lbs. At age 70, my doctor says I'm the healthiest person he knows in my age class. I take no oral meds for anything, etc. My resting pulse runs 53-58 depending on the day.
I've read lots of current stuff. One of them is the Wellness Letter put out by the staff of UC Berkeley's schools of medicine and science.
This letter is put out soley to counter the junk science which many are making big dollars out of the public's lack of will to eat healthy foods in the right proportions. Then there are those who want to eat lots of protein and fats simply because they like it far better than whole grains, fruits and vegetables. The diet gurus are racking in their bucks.
If that's what you want, good luck. But the fact is that those societies that base their diets on the whole grains, not meat and fat, live longer than we do in spite of the fact that we have health care that is light years ahead of theirs. E
