  1. If one wanted to test examples of high fat/protein compared to the e. asia
    diet which isn't high in those things, would not china and japan be
    excellent places to get data for the latter and the us and britian for the
    former? If you wanted to test that question which countries would you
    pick?

    "In the Northwestern study, more than 4,000 people from the

    United States, Great Britain, Japan, and China

    wrote in a food diary everything they had eaten during two 24-hour periods."

    Well, was not it Ancel Keys that found out that if you choose your countries
    carefuly, you can prove anything?

    What about Spain?

    Are you [censored] serious? You really do have no concept of what you
    are talking about do you. You prove that over and over especialy with
    this statement about the US and britian being good to test a high fat
    high protein diet. It is bad enough to do a study like this with
    intent to prove something pre concieved but with you its just pure
    ignorance or stupidity or something. I find it very hard to believe
    you could really believe what you are saying. For one thing it is
    absurd to "pick countries" in the first place because there are just
    too many factors involved ESPECIALY in modern western diets like that
    of the US and Briton. How many pounds of sugar per person does the
    US/briton eat compared to china/japan?? Refined flower?? Are these
    not huge variables between the two?? Are these things not partly
    responsible for poor health and weight gain?? And most importantly
    are these things NOT fat or protein which are supposedly the factors
    being isolated and blamed but as you can see there are many other
    factors. How about the type of fat? Is it not true that liquid and
    hydrogenated vegetable oil have largely replaced traditional healthy
    fats in western US/briton diets and are in fact make up the majority
    of fat consumed in these countries? How much of those fats are
    consumed in Japan/China? These fake dangerous fats are very different
    from traditional animal fats and coconut/olive oil which dominated the
    US diet 100 years ago when many modern health problems did not exist
    and probably make up a much smaller percentage of the fat eaten in
    japan/china compared to the US/briton. In fact the so called high fat
    modern US/british diet has probably less calories from fat than the
    diets of 100 years ago heavy in animal fats and where none of the fat
    was liquid or hydrogenated veggie oil. Now there is FAR more refined
    sugar/flower, IMENSLY more liquid/hydrogenated veggie oil, and FAR
    less animal/coconut fat in a diet that has probably LESS or at most
    the same total fat as 100 years ago. You really need to take a step
    back and try to look deeper and realize how flawed and limited your
    thinking is and how you and others like those doing this study and
    other studies fail to take anywhere near all the factors into account
    and therefor can not possibly come to accurate honest and real
    scientific conclusionis. Either you wrongly think all fat is the same
    and chose to lump it all together as do most researchers or you are
    just not bothering to consider the fact that these differences are
    there and have a huge impact. I know you seem to single out olive oil
    as being different so I fail to understand the reason you insist on
    disregarding the differences between saturated animal fats or coconut
    with liquid polyunsaturated fats or even saturated trans fats from
    hydrogenated oils. You display a huge bias when you constantly single
    out olive oil and monounsaturated fats but fail to do so between other
    fats. You CAN NOT do a study on "fat" without singling out all types
    of fat and annalysing them independantly of one another. That is not
    real science. It becomes even more complicated when you consider that
    all fats are made up of a percentage of SFAs MUFAs and PUFAs and some
    fats are classified as one or another that contain less than 40% of
    that fat. A real scientific study that is well controlled and
    considers and indeed focuses on these factors is what needs to be
    done. Yet in all these decades of dietary research nothing even
    remotely near this has even been attempted on a large scale when it
    could potentialy once and for all clear up all the rampant
    missinformation and confusion about fats if it was done well. If a
    simpleton like me can come up with this basic concept I find it hard
    to understand why it has not been done when it could definitively
    answer many questions. There is absolutely no reason for this exept
    willful avoidence of such issues.
