In the Michael Pollan IAMA, there was a comment by him along the lines of "but the world can't support everyone eating meat" when YOU came up. Thats the strongest argument in favor of ChinaStudy/MostlyPlants thinking - right? If that is true, I don't know why that group doesn't lead with their strongest argument.

Personally, I'm now Primal Blueprint (having tried to infer a diet from GCBC, and modifying that to match WhyWeGetFat's advice). It's working well for me. Except when I drink diet sodas (a hard addiction to break). I have to think like I process Citric Acid like a calorific carb, in order to stay strong.

You don't get enough credit IMO (hence my username).

Grass Fed Beef.

Michael Pollan, in "Omnivore's dilemma", dwelled on it. His book came out in the same timeline as GCBC. I think you got a quick mention in the follow-up, In "Defense of Food".

The Primal Blueprint guy (Mark Sisson) promotes it a lot in the book and on marksdailyapple.com

Question: Can you do a quick grass-fed versus not quote for the masses ?

I loved the follow up NPR/People's Pharmacy articles around salt. People report that when they first heard Bohemian Rhapsody, they pulled their car over to give it the attention it deserved. I did the same for the salt piece earlier in the year :)

I'm tracking my triglycerides and other indicators, and they are all trending in the right direction. My weight is going down slowly (I'm 45). I've lost forty pounds over four years doing slow-carbs diets of various types.

Question: I wonder what is next for you?

Fluoride vs dental wisdom ? The studies in favor of fluoride are slim at best, and lacking empirical processes. Weston A. Price was a dentist of course.

I'm using a salt/mint toothpaste from Germany, and have been essentially fluoride free for five years. My dentist and her hygenist give me a hearty thumbs-up every four months, which is mostly I guess to do with the meat/fat leaning diet I have. Thoughts?
