My mid-80s mother eats only meat and legumes. She doesn’t have to take a single pill, not one.
Meanwhile, my 90+ yo potato chip, candy bar eating couch potato FIL has to suck down 15 pills a day. He’s practically immobile, while my mom is out birding every day and insists on taking care of her own garden.
Glad the FIL is alive, but he’d have had a much higher quality of life over the past 20+ years if he’d have cut the carbs.
This “advice” spewed by the medical establishment about red meat is bull sh*t absent any reference to carbs.
Sugar and soy, I suspect. They're in everything and they're poison. They're even in the pills! They wreak havoc on metabolism.
