Red meat chemical 'damages heart', say US scientists

[Ted King]

Are you all in favor of health insurance companies increasing premiums if you have a large amount of carnitine in your diet?
(This is a snark from me as a vegetarian.)

Interestingly, a Big Mac is within the 70g of red meat per day guidelines mentioned in the article.

Hi Ted, I think peoples diets should not be regulated by insurances companies. That said they could offer you a discount for not using carnitine me thinks. This is mentioned with the big picture up front on the screen.

The vast number of things that contribute to our demise makes defining it, demise and death not exactly a pure science and more difficult me thinks *(:>*

And Ted please do not forget the lessons of Adelle Davis and Euell Gibbons vegetarians still die *(:>* :banghead:

Nanny Bloomberg is already thinking up executive decrees.

Not disputing the fact that everyone dies, but would like to point out that Adelle Davis was not vegetarian. Don't know about Euell Gibbons.

Sorry my error thanks for the heads up *(:>*

I did have a very good friend who died several years ago @ 55 he was a vegetarian.
