THE secret to longevity lies in the supermarket. According to "SuperFoods Rx: Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life" (William Morrow, $24.95), some foods will not only improve your life - but may well extend it.
Beans, blueberries, broccoli, oats, oranges, pumpkin, salmon, soy, spinach, tea, tomatoes, turkey, walnuts and yogurt - all rich in nutrients and relatively low in calories - are all credited with preventing, and in some cases even reversing, heart disease, diabetes, certain cancers and dementia.

A heavy diet of beans will keep more than disease away...

I added alpha lipoic acid to my usual multivitamin plus big doses of Cling and E, and my skin looks better than it has in years. Moles are shrinking, and I don't get zits.

Doesn't anybody get tired of this crap from these book writer's and their not proven theories?
Last night on the way home, I was listening to the Radio (Rush Replay) when the latest health ad came on, this one asked, Do you know why animals don't get heart disease? And then went on to describe the wonder discovery by this Doctor on how you can reverse almost everything. When Rush came back on the very first thing he talked about was a study done by a Pet life insurance company that stated peoples pets were getting more obese and the number one killer was (you guessed it) heart Disease.

Mostly good, common sense here, except I'm not convinced that soy is such a good thing. Otherwise, I've been eating a diet close to this for decades. Sprouts are great, too. I never get sick, and have never been overweight. Only time I veered from it briefly was when I first got married, and attempted to eat what my husbamd was mostly eating at the time (a lot more meat and potatoes, and less veggies/fruit/nuts etc.) I felt worse for it, and went back to what my body wanted, and have never looked back.

The author perpetuates some misinfo about Atkins.
Complex whole-grain carbs ARE allowed after the first two weeks.
He'd have no trouble with oats or fresh fruit in moderation for most folks. Some folks are highly insulin-intolerant and can eat less of these; some folks do fine with normal servings. Meanwhile most of the list is straight out of his recommendation list: beans, broccoli, berries, nuts...
It's the white stuff--sugar, flour, rice, potatoes--that need to be cut out of most Americans' diets. The average American consumes 200 pounds of sugar a year... Atkins did us a great service by spotlighting the insanity of that.
To: Wooly
Well, it is generally best to be sceptical of those radio ads. But, sorry to say, the benefits of most these foods has been well researched.

Well, most Atkins people I have met act like fruits and vegetables are toxic. I agree with Atkins about simple carbohydrates-especially the heavily processed stuff, but the right kind of complex carbohydrates are beneficial.

Actually, that's nonsense. 2 of our cats were at one time diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, probably congenital in both cases. I've never let an animal become fat, let alone obese. I refused the standard veterinary treatment (basically scaled-down amounts of same drugs given to humans) based on what I viewed as their poor track record; went for dietary treatment instead. Both are doing great.
