Bruce I guess you measure intelligence by ones ability to simply recite, or copy and paste a few statistics. I think a well trained monkey could do that.. For what you see is rambling on my part, I feel that someone who is intelligent would be able to see the correlation between the different points I have discussed. You copy and paste someone elses facts, to prove what I am saying is wrong? It doesn't. There are many diet pills, with loads of caffeine and ephedra that also makes people lose tons of weight. My uncle who is on the atkins diet, has lost some weight in the first few months.. Who is arguing that point? Look at other cultures, look at the chinese. Most of the oldest people in the world are chinese, and look at their diet.. Mostly grains, vegatables and fish.. If you have any real scientific background, besides copying and pasting statistics, you would know the food pyramid, which has been around forever, is the most logical. There are many things that can make you lose a lot of weight, but in the long run, can be hurtful to your system.
My uncle reminds me very much of people here.. So many diets have came and went, and each time, he read all the reports, the statistics, and always talked all scientific about the discoveries of the particular diet he was on.. This has been going on for a number of years, and maybe if he took some common sense advice, he wouldnt be so obese. The human body is like a universe to itself.. Science is just beginning to understand how the body functions, even though we have come a long way. Diet after Diet will claim to be the holy grail, but the truth is, they always come and go.. Have your three omletes with cheese, a stick of butter, and a ground up propecia pill in the morning.. Recite statistics to yourself till your completely convinced that these reports have all the information you could ever need.. and be confident that later in life you will be healthier then everyone else and live to 120. Continue to stick your head in a pile of data reports, and put down anyone who trys to understand the big picture without thinking through a shallow lense of thought.
