Why would you care about any study that does not pertain to you, if you have not accomplished it it is not worth anything. All of the sudden studies are relavent when a few minutes ago they were not.

Is it that you do not agree with the scentific evidence so it is deemed wrong or useless, or can we not use the research of others to make informed decisions so we are not all using the trail and error method and starting back at the beginning every time we do something.

I do not agree with Mike's choice of diets, but if it works for him and he feels good by doing it then he should continue regardless of what the research say. At least Mike is looking for sound evidence and not just heresay. As lillypad said we are much to complex to be categorised by one study. When thousands of people are studied and the results are repeated consistently again and again does that not mean anything?

Although healthy humans are all different we share many things alike, that is why when one has a blood tested we can know about there health by looking at levels of chemicals in the blood. The same body systems in healthy people work in a predictable way, although there are variables some things can be predicted with great accuracy. If one is in a long protein deficit this is shown by pre-albumin levels. If it were not for studies the latter would not be known.

That being said I do not wholly agree with chipcom, but I respect your right to voice your opinion no matter what I think of it.

I do agree with you on the quoted post though that there is a balanced needed, because when I do not balace all my food and execersise my health suffers.

Thank you
