There are countries ( eg : like ours ) where the main staple of diet is refined white rice/noodle(with no enrichment of iron and others ) and it's a little difficult to get brown rice and wild rice here because the demand is just too small. Perhaps that explains the high incidence of failure for people who attempted vegetarian/vegan diet even in short term (especially for women : Anemia (B12/ iron deficiency) , sudden loss of menstrual cycle , unusual fatique, nerve problem and etc ) in country like ours. I'm very keen to know the actual root cause.
I have read books like china study and it sounds very convincing. i 'm also a regular reader of
Mercola health article and it sounds all too familiar to what i have seen and experienced. I guess i'm just confused. However i do know with 90% certainty that food such as
1)
Sugar ( eg : soda .. )
2) Trans fat ( Margarine )
3) Deep fried food ( overcooked vege oil )
4) Smoking / Alcoholism
5) Artifical sweetener
6) refined grain
7) Excessive consumption of Vege oil ( causing imbalance ratio of Omega 6 vs Omega 3 ) Note : My healthy grandma is almost 90 years old and guess what she eats regularly ? Fatty Meat, vegetables ,some fruits and COD LIVER OIL rich in omega 3 fatty acid.
8) Stress and lack of exercise
9) processed food (
Potato chips loaded with carcinogen and hydrogenated oil )
10) Overcooked carbo and meat ( Acrylamide and
heterocyclic amines )
12) The deplorable commercial based animal farming .
13)For the future ....
GMO food
are most likely the main causes of today's common chronic diseases .
Correct me if i'm wrong .
