I don't think insects suffer in the same way that animals do.  They don't really have a brain to perceive pain.

"Conclusions High LDL-C is inversely associated with mortality in most people over 60 years. This finding is inconsistent with the cholesterol hypothesis (ie, that cholesterol, particularly LDL-C, is inherently atherogenic). Since elderly people with high LDL-C live as long or longer than those with low LDL-C, our analysis provides reason to question the validity of the cholesterol hypothesis. Moreover, our study provides the rationale for a re-evaluation of guidelines recommending pharmacological reduction of LDL-C in the elderly as a component of cardiovascular disease prevention strategies."

"Conclusions: A meta-analysis of prospective epidemiologic studies showed that there is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD or CVD. More data are needed to elucidate whether CVD risks are likely to be influenced by the specific nutrients used to replace saturated fat."

"Conclusions: Available evidence from randomized controlled trials shows that replacement of saturated fat in the diet with linoleic acid effectively lowers serum cholesterol but does not support the hypothesis that this translates to a lower risk of death from coronary heart disease or all causes. Findings from the Minnesota Coronary Experiment add to growing evidence that incomplete publication has contributed to overestimation of the benefits of replacing saturated fat with vegetable oils rich in linoleic acid."

"Conclusions/interpretation
Normalisation of both beta cell function and hepatic insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes was achieved by dietary energy restriction alone. This was associated with decreased pancreatic and liver triacylglycerol stores. The abnormalities underlying type 2 diabetes are reversible by reducing dietary energy intake."

So I should watch the triglycerides (keep sugar down - and baked goods and alcohol) and stop worrying about cholesterol?

Eat more butter? :shrug:

I do wonder for those who advocate for more minerals etc in their diet, or vitamin supplements, why not recommend offal? It's full of micronutrients.

Great topic!

I used to eat a lot of Fast Food. Sometimes even twice a day, for days on end. Lots of pizzas too. Then I realized how much money I was spending on fast food! Way too much. I quickly started getting it occasionally. This year, I have a new job but it doesnt pay as much as my previous ones. Now i get Fast Food maybe once or twice a month. Lately I eat  a mix of chips, cookies, TV dinners, trail mix, dried fruit, and simple sandwiches. Ive lost probably 25 pounds in the past 3 months. I feel healthier than ever! Restricting my calorie intake due to money constraints has done wonders for my overall health, in my opinion.

I do miss all those tasty burgers, pizzas, gyros and burritos. But nowadays, Im happy just to have something to eat that doesn't cost very much and still tastes decent. :sadyes:

Yes, watch the sugar and use oils with lower level of omega 6.

Vitamin Deficiencies in the Western Diet

https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/micronutrient-inadequacies/overview

"94.3% of the US population do not meet the daily requirement for vitamin D, 88.5% for vitamin E, 52.2% for magnesium, 44.1% for calcium, 43.0% for vitamin A, and 38.9% for vitamin C. For the nutrients in which a requirement has not been set, 100% of the population had intakes lower than the AI for potassium, 91.7% for choline, and 66.9% for vitamin K. The prevalence of inadequacies was low for all of the B vitamins and several minerals, including copper, iron, phosphorus, selenium, sodium, and zinc"

Simply trying to eat better will fix some of these issues.

15 minutes of sun per day will boost vitamin D.

Various nuts (especially almonds) will boost vitamin E.

Fruit obviously will boost vitamin C.

Many foods contain magnesium but will be difficult to get an adequate supply from a single food. Research to incorporate various foods with notable Mg levels could be useful.

Oranges are especially high in calcium. Various greens contain calcium. Especially collard greens which are also an excellent source of vitamin K.

Beef, liver, chicken, eggs, all good sources of choline.

Ditch your sodium chloride for a 50/50 mix of sodium/potassium. Decreases sodium intake and increases potassium intake. Easy.

Etc. etc.

A little research done over time can slowly adjust your diet in a healthy direction by adding foods you enjoy eating.

Yes! Blueberries are an excellent way to get antioxidants and low GI. Blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, etc. are also included in that list. Not everyone like unsweet tea but I can drink a lot of orange/black. Green tea bothers my stomach, don't touch the stuff.

Kale and cabbage are also high in antioxidants. I tend to shy away from cruciferous vegetables but some people tolerate them better.

My fermentation experiment has not gone great. I'm going to ditch the broccoli and cauliflower and try just carrots, maybe some peppers. I read good things about cruciferous vegetables and over the years I've tried repeatedly to incorporate them but it never lasts. :puke:

I like kale, but you gotta prep it right. My favorite way is just cut really thin for a fresh salad, with carrots, quinoa, a little onion, and a dressing out of soy sauce, mirin, honey, and sesame oil.

If the pieces are too big it's like eating little bits of paper :lol: but it's great if you cut them in really fine strips across the stem.

Sauerkraut is a great way to make cabbage a little more interesting, and it is extremely easy to make.
