Oh yeah dude I just checked imageshack and apparently I can't upload images for free anymore unless I upgrade @ $2/month.

Screw that, tbh

I just googled "free image upload" and chose the first one (postimage).

I will say the new imageshack interface is pretty nice so I can see why some people might be willing to pay for it.

I wouldn't call eating a large variety of plant based foods daily, stuffing your face, as long as you aren't exceeding your daily BMR in calories. Beta carotene consumption has not been shown to be a problem when it is consumed from a whole food source, only beta carotene supplement pills have been shown to be problematic.

i didn't know i was sounding defensive. by stuff your face, i was talking about quantity, not variety. i said in the next sentence that variety and sensible portions in the diet of the vegetarians were a good thing. i think we're agreeing on that but just misunderstanding each other.

that was the reason why i said the effects of high beta carotene consumption wasn't clear. there have been multiple studies, but the implications still aren't fully understood, and research on upper limits and dose responses of many micronutrients are still being studied. articles like this try to explore mechanisms in rar interaction that might explain beta carotene's connection to negative health effects. this doesnt mean that beta carotene is bad but theres still a lot more to learn about it.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22418437

although this is old, it does give a good summary of research on some micronutrients.
http://jn.nutrition.org/content/136/2/493S.full

toxicity exists but what those levels are and how they relate to food consumption still needs to be determined. eat food. not too much. mostly plants.

we do know that japan has the longest life expectancy, and most of the population there are not vegetarians. the oldest living woman right now is a japanese person and not a vegetarian.

I understand what you mean about the Japanese, it is an interesting observation. I saw a pretty interesting documentary on centenarians, the researchers determined that most of them have ''protective'' genes, that made their hazardous lifestyle choices less likely to result in disease. For example, many of the centenarians that they studied were two pack per day smokers, many were also technically obese with a bmi over 30. My great grandfather is still alive he's currently 103, he certainly ate his fair share of unhealthy foods, but he has good genes.

this is why i dont like the china study. it completely dismisses genetic factors, saying that genes are simply regulated by nutrition. if thats the case, then its message of an all plant diet becomes inconsistent with the fact that japan enjoys excellent health despite consuming animal products.

its hard to ignore the impact of diet and lifestyle in japan too. there's an old study that examined the health of japanese natives and japanese americans. the most assimilated japanese americans in california had a significantly higher prevalence of heart disease. http://aje.oxfordjournals.org/content/104/3/225

a more recent study but only compares with japanese hawaiians: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/13679953

yes, i have a lot of free time.

I think that the Chinese study demonstrates how lifestyle choices influence the majority of people. Centenarians typically have ''protective genes'', but they are in the minority. In the case of people with ''protective genes'', their longevity is mainly attributed to their genes, not their lifestyles, but for the majority of people (those without ''protective genes') the opposite is true: their lifestyles determine their longevity.

On the other hand, I do think that the Japanese have a much healthier diet, than we do in the west, and I love Japanese style food!

saying that genes play a role in centenarian life spans is inconsistent with what the china study says. I think the study itself has some useful implications on lifestyle, but Campbell overreaches in assumptions. in the end, its an observational study that cant say anything about causation until there are randomized and controlled trials. I'd say most centenarians have a combination of good genes, diet, and lifestyle.

I think that you are really overreaching by claiming that nothing can be said of the results, in terms of causation. Just because it's an observational study, of a countries population, and not a case style study, doesn't mean it's finding are invalid.

How would you even propose a study of this scale could be possible in a randomized and controlled setting?

That looks good, I make something similar except I make mine with home made pico de gallo, and chipolte sauce. I usually substitute tortillas for green leaf lettuce wraps.

i didn't say the findings were invalid. if you reread my post, i said that there are implications for lifestyle, but Campbell's conclusion is presumptuous and doesn't take into account cases like japan where they on average enjoy excellent health while consuming animal products. his research is interesting, but it warrants further investigation.

in terms of more controlled studies, i don't know, but scientists are smart people. science never got anywhere by saying, "oh this observational study is enough, and we can make conclusions with no further investigation." itll take time, but they'll figure it out. theres still a lot more research to do on diet and nutrition.

That fish has made me want to make some fish tacos now. For that, I thank you since I had no idea what I was making myself tonight.

Glad you guys liked that. Very simple but oh so delicious!

The key is the high heat and searing the crushed spices for that yummy chard flavor.
