Hi, Yaelle,

I’m replying to this thread late, I know...but in regards to your statement about not needing a colonoscopy if you eat right, you’re mistaken. I’ll tell you why.

My mom was a vegetarian her entire life. She ate nothing but organic grains and legumes, eating recipes from Adele Davis, Dr. Pottenger and Diet For A Small Planet.

Nevertheless, she got colon cancer, which metastized into liver cancer and she died nine months after her diagnosis.

Her doctor told her that if she had had a colonoscopy the cancer would have been caught in time...she would still be alive if she had done that one simple step.

Every time I see someone praising all the health food and supplements lifestyle I always tell them about my mom. It may have some benefit, but it ain’t magic, and it certainly isn’t foolproof.

See ya’,

Ed

You have a huge point. There will always be outliers and exceptions. I am

Sorry about your mom.

Some Vegans though miss the boat by eating a ton
Of
Pufas and rancid seed
Oils (all
Seed oils
Are
Rancid pretty much). Canola
Alone can be a killer. How
Clean your fats are makes a big difference too.
