  • Ok lets analyse your little paper: Because of a lack of page numbers I am going to cite with the number of the abstract

    However, when it comes to virtually every other species, we generally take it for granted that it will flourish best on a diet that roughly resembles the one to which it was adapted (abst. 2)

    This is based on the false take that our body developed to a only meat diet. Humans are omnivores, that means that our usual food consits of a lot of different things. Cats for example are pure carnivores. So their diet has to consist on mostly meat. And in oir society what they get is the meat that we don’t want to eat, so no red meat and if so only small portions of it.

    Schoenfeld and Ioannidis (Citation2013) found that, among 50 common ingredients used in a cookbook, 40 had been associated with cancer risk or benefit based on observational studies. (Abst. 3.1)

    Yes they found a causality between these and cancer.

    1. That doesn’t mean that it has a negative influence

    Only 39% of ingredients have a negative inpact and only 24% of those have a strong statistical significance. That means only 9.36% of tested foods have a statisticly strong influence. A lot less then the proclaimed 80% (Schonefeld and loannidis, 2013, page. 3, TABLE 1)

    1. The paper only proves some sort of causality. It does not say how big the impact is. So still doesn’t prove the point.

    Ok I got to go now, but to sum up the reat of the article: I have not read a single proving argument. Everything just consisted of using sources that say red meat is bad and saying, something wild to direct the mind in a different direction. No own studies have been conducted! So the whole argumentation bases on could be.

    But if you have any more abstracts you feel are important and should be conaidered feel free to reply :)






  • I find it fascinating that places like that exist. Where I grew up I had to take the bus for like 20min for my closest fast food joint. Where I live the go to food is döner (I’m from germany). That’s usully faster, healthier and in my opinion tastes a lot better than fast food. Most other countries in europe I’ve been to have some kind of similar food. So in my opinion it’s crazy that there are still places that haven’t developed some kind of quick good tasting food and that fast food has such a tight grip around a whole community
