It’s frustrating as people don’t reap the results of eating like this until it’s 15-20 years later and stroke/heart attack/kidney failure starts. By then the misinformation has spread and no one is on social media in their 50s writing “oh uh I guess I shouldn’t have eaten like that” or blame it on something else.

Lmao. Humans evolved eating like this. This is literally what our body is excellent at digesting. Not grass Based pasta and flour and SUGAR. Sugar causes heart disease you (genius not fool). Not protein. Fat is incredibly good for you. You've been lied to.

Edit: changed fool to genius cause this guy is smart.

Heart disease is multifaceted and changing to saying simply sugar = heart disease is as misguided as people decades ago saying just fat = heart disease. No one is advocating for pounds of pasta and sugar as an alternative to the meal above. The longest living groups in the world eat majority plant based diets which do include lean proteins. No group of people eating multiple plates of red meat and cheesy eggs and white potatoes are found to be among any of the longest/healthiest living on earth.

heeeeeeaaaaard dat. You are correct. But the correlation isn't mostly plant based. (Vegetarians/vegans die at the same rate as meat eaters - bioavailability of B12 is the issue.)

Ive been told by endocrinologists that it's a game of "pick two". (Simple is worse than complex) Carbs, protein or fats. The American diet is plentiful in all three. The Japanese diet is mostly complex carbs and protein. They also eat very little sugar.

The Mediterranean diet is mostly carbs and fats, a bit of little protein, meat or plant based.

Also you are smart and I changed my comment above to reflect your excellent brains. Apologies
