Not really. The problem is that the majority of Americans are eating about

twice

as much proteins as they should, so all they should need to do is halve their protein intake. Hardly the same as smoking. Using your argument, if you halved the number of cigarettes you smoke, you would be healthy.

It's not my argument.

If you don't take anything else from it, (and lets face it, you won't) note this:

Quote:

the lead researcher, Dr Longo, has declared interests in (actually, he’s the founder of) L-Nutra – a company that makes ProLon™ – an entirely plant based meal replacement product.

I can only reiterate: It's not my argument.

I love sausages and cheese (not necessarily together, though).

Moreover, "meal replacement products" are BS.

Perhaps you could state on which points your argument and the argument you posted differ?

How so?

I posted quotes, clearly marked with quotation marks, along with a link.

I made no comment at all on the story.

Moreover, I followed it up with a quote saying that sugar was what we should really be concerned about.

So, how do you interperet the "meat and cheese" story as my argument?

I believe that smoking, even in moderation, is very harmful.

I don't believe that eating meat and cheese, in moderation, is harmful.

I believe eating processed sugar is more harmful than eating meat and cheese.

I believe we eat too much animal protein.

I believe meat industry propoganda is to blame for our over consumption of meat.

I believe the children are our future.

No, nothing is softening here.

I'm pretty sure I've never said that eating meat in moderation is harmful. However, I have said that it isn't necessary for good health.

Ahhhh.. She Is SUCH A Cutie....Oregon’s Youngest Medical Cannabis Patient Is Now Cancer Free..

Posted By: Watchman

Paediatric cannabis therapy is saving children. Awareness is the most important thing at this moment.

The anti-tumor effects of cannabinoids and THC have been demonstrated for quite some time now. In the 1980s, cannabinoid receptors were discovered in the human brain, which made it obvious that our body has to synthesize something that binds to these receptors. Our bodies produce these compounds in our own endocannabinoid system, which is now known to be responsible for a number of biological functions. This is why the plant has such a wide therapeutic potential for multiple diseases, including cancer.

Numerous studies have demonstrated time and time again the anti-tumor effects of cannabis. Studies have shown that cannabis completely kills cancer cells, and it has a great impact on rebuilding the immune system. Cannabis has the potential to replace a multitude of pharmaceutical drugs, and it remains a mystery as to why human trials are not underway. If you’re looking for these studies, I’ve put multiple links within the article for you to further your research.
