And a Simple more Wholesome Diet and Lifestyle is MORE BENEFICIAL? Is this why Europeans and Orientals are So Young Looking and Healthy? Case in point for Breast Cancer....Alec Baldwin said his Mom put Cheese on everything.... She suffered from Breast Cancer and let's see I heard of someone eating Sweets and adding Sugar to Coke so they had DIABETIS. And Fried Foods give ya HIGH CHOLesterol.....

I believe diet has alot to do with it, yes.

Americans consume almost no fibre, and way too much dairy.
Dairy cuases the stomach to form mucus and over time this congests our systems and makes us sick.
People should be shitting at least 3 times a day with soft, mushy, shit coming out of their asses, but I'm prety sure most people shit one to 3 times every day to 3 days, and that it comes out hard and chunky like rabbit shit. This can only lead to sickness.

Well, somebody was telling me Cheese was Bad ... But the French eat Rich and Not Ill. Isn't just living in a STRESSFUL Town and having a STRESSFUL JOB?

Cancer is caused by confusion of the unconscious mind whereby it is unable to corectly repair broken strands of dna.

i just returned from the States. America even puts too much sugar in fucking BREAD. extra sugar and salt in everything and often greedy portions.

first of all, go organic and minimise processed things. eat some greens, fibre, less sugar and salt and drink lots of water (and ease up on the general "richness" factor in foods except for occasionally) and you'll live longer!

I hear females who live the higher social and economic life get cancer easier. This was on the news the other day. I think the study was because something to the fact that these woman hold off on having children until later in life. May have to do with birth control, and their lifestyle.

Dairy products in general aren´t really bad, it all depends on the amount you eat. Everything in moderation.
I wouldn´t say that Europeans and Asians are healthier in general. I´ve been to many countries, including Asia and many European and South European countries and also the USA but I think those generalisations are wrong.
Imago 777 is right, fiber is very important. It also depends on the right kind of fiber. It can help you to get rid of toxines.
But eating lots of fiber shouldn´t lead to the symptoms described by Imago.

Too much sugar isn´t good, it can also weaken your immune system. Then again, depends on what is too much.

Eating too much in general isn´t good. Scientists found out that rats lived longer when their calorie intake had been reduced, but there´s the risk of malnutrition.
Look at Prince, he looks extremely young and doesn´t eat much.

He also recommended a book by a certain Dr. Richard Anderson during the Gold Experience / Exodus era....I guess it was about some sort of colon cleansing method to get rid of toxines.

Maybe we should start a thread about Prince´s dieting habits and his healthy(?) lifestyle in the Prince, Music and More forum.

Water is also important, but I think people are overdoing it when they dogmatically drink three liters a day.

Different people also have different needs....some Massai tribes in Africa live on meat and blood and milk alone, some Inuits eat nothing but fish and seals and almost no vegetables, and other people eat nothing but plant based food.

It would be cool if we could have a machine that tells us exactly what we need in order to function to the maximum.

And keep in mind that stress comes in various forms and that those countries who live a less hectic life probably have other stress factors, such as diseases, unemployment, worries about the future etc. etc.

And their diets are changing as well, switching from traditional to a more standardized, "westernized" form including hydrogenated fats, lots of salt and sugar,less olive oil, etc.

I don't know. A few weeks ago I read an article that in the next years almost 30% of the Belgian population will get cancer That's enormous and I don't think unhealthy food is the only cause. We don't eat as healthy as the French or other south-European countries, but not by far as fat and sugary as the American.
Sometimes I wonder if that radio-active cloud from Tsjernobil in 1985 has anything to do with it. But then again I wonder if that isn't a bit of a stretch.

Actually, he's right.
As you get older, you should not be hearing 'plop''plop''plop'.
The more it comes out in one long piece, the healthier you are (fibre aids in this).If not, you may have major dumpage issues.
In other words, when you are done, look into the porcelain god & judge by what you see:
Nutty nuggets = bad. Half of Princess Leia's Do = good.

cnn.com reported a study that found that the more calories you process in your life time, the faster you age.

i heard from an expert that creating dumb threads is a leading cause for cancer....

I don't think it has got anything to do with what you eat or not. I'm convinced cancer develops more easily in highly developed, industrialized and thus polluted environments.
Ever thought about how much toxic gasses we inhale every day?

Getting cancer from food is just ridiculous! Unless of course, you eat a fish that has been swimming in a pool of toxic waste Like the sea, or sth like that.
