Bullshit, no information how that bullshit is better then things I posted. Stop posting, you are just wasting perfectly good spaces on my thread.

Hah, okay dude. What kind of information were you looking for? Did you notice that the guy in that first link is an M.D. who graduated from Harvard medical school and was on the cover of Time magazine a few months ago?

Hah, stop avoding my facts.

You are quite the character.

Why on earth is yogurt so überhealthy? Soured milk is the king! Atleast according to Fineli: http://www.fineli.fi/index.php?lang=en

Go to hell. You prob didn't read all of my things I posted including fucking links.

Holy snap. This is probably the nastiest food thread ever. :sick:

What's nasty, except kimchee? All of the foods listed here are pretty delicious, if you ask me.

You two have to stop arguing about which food is healthier. The truth is that all those foods you both listed are excellent for a rich and varied diet.

My fiancee is a med school student here at Arizona and she will be taking a rotation next year in Dr. Weil's Integrative Medicine Clinic. According to her, Dr. Weil's next book will say that there are only certain types of fishes you can eat anymore because studies are saying that too many types of fish anymore are contaminated. But that if you want to be as healthy as possible, a meal of fish and broccoli is the way to go.

He also recommends toasted sesame oil over olive.

although i don't deny the 5 meals are good for health, the links you posted are nowhere certified by any scientific study so they're just articles on health.com or whatever random health website

or i didn't find the study certification on the pages

I think he recommends it as an alternative, but not necessary as something better.

Dr. Weil is one of my heros. I've read as much of his stuff as I can get my hands on and he's my primary source for health and nutrition info. Hopefully people will start listening to him.

So, not really a reason for it? I dunno, I have only read one of his books and it wasn't really about this stuff. I'm planning to work on eating more like he recommends in his books. Seems like a very positive direction over anything else.

The funny thing is that in his recipes (the ones I've read) and all his other articles, he always mentions olive oil. Maybe he recently changed his mind.

His latest book covers basically his entire philosophy. Half of the book is spent on explaining exactly why we die, which is a nice wake up call for the overindulgent types and smokers whose mantra is "you're gonna die anyway." It's more about the quality of life and what he called "compression of morbidity." Basically, the idea is to be perfectly functional until your 90 something and then get sick and die in about a week.
