Fuhrman and the Mediterranean Diet food pyramids are very similar. The differences between the two are mainly in preparation and seasoning.

The killer, literally and figuratively, in the American diet is the prevalence of combining saturated animal fats, carbs and sodium in the same dish. Pizza is one of the worst things one can eat.

You mean the double mushroom, double black olive, and green olive pizza isn't as healthy as I thought?

It's weird...my physician was adamantly pro-Fuhrman 18 months ago, but he's been changing his tune regarding bread. I foresee another tweak in my regimen after my next followup in a couple of weeks (i.e. lower my carb intake).

Bingo!

“If your cardiologist would call this BS, then you probably need a new cardiologist.”

Too damn many cardios/internists and now FPS are putting healthy patients on the Statin lowering drugs and trying to treat people for diabetes when they don’t have diabetes.

Besides causing diabetes, the grain craze may be causing an epidemic of weight gain, and mental deficiencies/problems.

David Perlmutter, MD has written an excellent book called “Grain Brain”. He documents how our diets heavy with wheat, carbs and sugar may be killing our brains.

Last, but not least more retrospective studies are showing people who became wheat eaters and little meat eaters have more cancers.

Mr. Shoop is in agreement with you. He was in disagreement with a post above is which is in disagreement with you.

pork chops and well marbled steak?

Yes, but forget the potatoes and cheese bread.

Don’t know about dementia, but I agree with your theory about low fat/high carb. As Greeneyes says, “I disagree with the food pyramid. What do farmers feed cattle to make them nice and fat? Grains.”

I also take iodoral and the cofactors with it. Dr. Brownstein has a book on iodine and how it helps with blood lipid levels.

I think you'll find that the digestive systems of cows and humans are somewhat different, especially in their ability to digest cellulose.

I'm not pro grain. The only way I've ever been able to control my weight is on some variant of the Atkins diet. One of the unfortunate side effects of the Atkins diet for me is sleeplessness eventually involving paranoia and general nastiness. I'd rather be a little plump and jolly, weight lift, and walk a bunch than be flat out nuts.

I do think that a person has to watch the grains and keep them in the low to moderate intake. You can’t just omit them all together, but moderation is key. JMHO

yup. big inputs (Rx, carbs) big errors. small inputs (ditto)
small errors*

if you follow such a regimen, what do you eat? finances
are a factor with me
