Top 5 world's HEALTHIEST meal.

The Greeks and Italians seems strangely immune to heart disease because of the kind of fat they consume. Saturated and trans-fats promote heart disease, whereas monounsaturated fats and essential fatty acids (omega-3) reduce the risk of it. It is more because of the amount of fish they eat than the olive oil, although olive oil is the healthiest fat to cook with.

In fact, the fact that this "healthiest meal" doesn't include any sort of fish automatically disqualifies it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Nuts are great for fiber. Almonds, Cashews and Walnuts are low in saturated fats and high in good fats.

Broccoli is like, the super food. If you're eating it, you're stupid.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I did write that at 7am. Gimme a break. ;_;

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The hell are you talking about, dude? Show me a scientist that disagrees with there being a correlation between eating fish and being healthy.

I've never heard of this "international organization that studies food". Is that their real name?

It is, though. Fish is the best source of Omega-3, an essential fatty-acid. It's been proven to reduce inflamation, fight cancer and reduce cholesterol. Fish are also high in quality protien and various vitamins and minerals. There is also no meat on that list, which is ridiculous. It's not healthy to go entirely without meat. You need to consume several different protiens, some of which you can't find in plants.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Vegetables can have contaminants, too. Including all of those on that list. Irrelevant.

By the way, the mercury thing is not a serious issue unless you're a pregnant woman.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

There is no "more healthy" food. You need to eat a diet that has a good variety of healthy foods and avoid unhealthy foods. Being a vegetarian, which is what someone following that list exclusively would be, is not healthy. I don't even know what "healthy" mean in this conext of this thread. Those foods alone certainly do not provide you with all the nutrution you should be getting. And broccoli should definitely be on the list.

How ya doing, buddy?

Could you post the website?

Most amazing jew boots

I found these:

http://www.healthcastle.com/best-healthiest-foods.shtml

http://www.bellybytes.com/articles/29foods.shtml

Both mention fish.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, don't take everything the news says as Gospel truth. Especially when it comes to science and health. Ask any nutrition expert if they would rank fish as one of the top 5 foods. I would be shocked if anyone said no.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You keep saying "internationally" but your list sounds incredibly Asia-centric.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Okay, why isn't garlic on the list? Garlic is insanely healthy. It's gotta be better than at least one of those things.

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?

You are quite the character.

FELIPE NO

He also recommends toasted sesame oil over olive.

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.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

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.

How ya doing, buddy?
