I stay away from them all, I hunt, fish, collect edibles from fields and forests , make all my own preserves, peel my veggies daily , BUT... I consider that list a "treat" as childhood memories

Good for you. I avoid most of the list, though I am largely a carnivore and eat a lot of meat. The study you reference is not nearly as clear on the supposed dangers of meat as the mass press indicates. This is clear if you review the study and examine some of the (ignored) confounders.

Seldom eat 1, 3,4,5,8, never 9. 10 is the only kind I ea?????. 6 and 7 in moderation. Something is going to kill me, at least I will have a good meal before I go, ?

Well with the way that world’s going I’m not that my heart could really take much more so add some ribs and alcohol to that list. ?

Oh, no, I wish you hadn't told me.

Well . If i can add my 2 cents ,
Best foods for your heart are those that u eat in good company , w laughter , interesting to your taste and standards conversation , and w the peace in your mind that shelter / love / belonging is covered .
My opinion of course ?
Stress will kill us all b4 food . Anything in excess is not good for u , and litle bit of everything ain't gonna kill u .
I had a cardiac arrest at age of 26. I wasn't big and I was healthy other ways . Stress can kill . That's all I am saying . 22 yr later , and after smoked cigrts all my adult life until near a year ago , I still eat everything I want , still 122 lbs , and I can pull a 60 hr week at ED in 4 days ?
When smiling , the ticker works great . When sad or stressed , yeah , time to worry .

I admire your willpower, I just seem to have to indulge myself every so often, especially with the burgers and meat lovers pizza....

I gave up almost all of the sugar supplemented things many moons ago and a couple of years ago I also read a thing by an MD that said that aspartame is cancer in a bottle. I became a partial, because I occasionally have fish and bird intake, vegan four years ago. I also like to ingest liquids that come from barley.

I will say that in my opinion the worst foods are the carbs and the sugars. Of course, my Kryptonite is beer, which is pure carbs, but that is another story. Let's look back in time. For most of human evolution, the diet was meat and fats, with very little starch. It is only the last 100,000 years, and most notably the past 75 years that we have pared back on the fats.

The results have been devastating, as we have replaced fats with high-fructose corn syrup and other sugars. The results? We are fatter than ever. Obesity and diabetes are epidemic. The average weight for an adult male has gone from 180 to 196 in 20 years. Low fat is clearly NOT WORKING. We are on a death spiral as a species because of our diet.

The Sirens are loud and politically shrill. Vegans are convinced that their way is the way. The cement-headed medical community and ADA clings to the LOW FAT myth. We have been doing it all wrong. Our great-grandparents knew....Starches put thunder into our thighs. They ate plenty of bacon, fat and did not have the toxic packaged foods that are killing us today. It is the CARBS, not the fat. I could not be more sure of anything.

Guess I will be dead soon as I enjoy most of these?

Bad for your waistline as well...and your energy level...

Their thinking is very similar to mine. None of that stuff appears in my intake. Interesting that sugar seems to get more attention than in the past; glad that my sweet tooth went AWOL long ago.

6 out of 10. That's not bad, right? Right?
