Ahh.. the age of convenience.<br /><br />I went to a Mediterranean diet last year for a few months when I thought I had heart problems (I don't). Not only did I lose a lot of weight, but I haven't felt that good in years. I could breathe better, etc. I hope, budget permitting, I can go back to it this year (eating well isn't cheap, unfortunately).Perovskiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02288179080765960283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472697.post-42241548890189587832009-04-20T13:28:00.000-04:002009-04-20T13:28:00.000-04:00I love hearing this first-hand experience.

But they eat some awful things here and compared to older Japanese people, most older swedes look bedraggled and worn out. Smoking isn't so common, so I'm guessing it's the massive amount of dairy and cured meats that they seem to eat. Very few Swedes I know eat legumes with any regularity.Melissanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472697.post-6090745208761343122009-04-18T09:46:00.000-04:002009-04-18T09:46:00.000-04:00I wonder what percentage of U.S. people eat the ki...I wonder what percentage of U.S. people eat the kind of food shown in the photo--would you imagine, maybe, 95%?

And soy beans are just about 100% genetically engineered in this country. (And they're not labeled!) And this country wasn't represented in this study.<br /><br />That's all.<br /><br />No study is unmuddied.

I eat small beans and occasionally big beans but I can’t say I am a big bean eater. After reading your post I may become a big bean eater and I may consume some big beans but I don’t want to eat too much and be a big bean eater though being a big bean eater seems to be healthy being a big bean eater isn’t.Ronaldnoreply@blogger.com
