I would never trust an article like this as there is always an agenda.

My family usually live to a great age, certainly well into their late eighties. Both my parents did and my elder brother and sister are still going strong in their late seventies. I'm the baby, only 67. My middle sister died young of cancer (49) but she smoked like a chimney and drank G&T like I drink water.

The whole family has been a major cause of meat shortage in the world!!
My dad was a meat buyer and inspector. It was amazing how many times those bits that didn't pass his inspection ended up on our dining table . He ate all the fat, dripping, bellies of pork etc etc going and the rest of us ate what we were given.

I tend to think that its more important to look back and see how mankind developed. That seems a better way of deciding what is our 'natural' food. Leaving all moral judgements aside, it seems that a high protein, high fat, low carb diet is more likely to be the right approach.

In the end, different people seem to react in different ways. My wife, Ronnie, has been struggling with what was assumed to be a pre diabetic condition but since we both went gluten free, we have both felt hugely better.



I reckon that is more important than a few extra years of life.

Couldn't do without meat,me. I love steaks,burgers,crispy bacon mmmmmmm I do think you have to balance your life out though,with a good mix of a quality diet(whatever your preference) and exercise. I'm still a firm believer in a positive mindset as well.
