The Western diet however is also high in fat, salt & sugar, not just meat and diary products. Yes, some of that fat comes from those meat/dairy products, but a lot of it comes in the form of saturated fat from deep-frying/cooking or all the added salt and/or sugar.

The Chinese often put meat in most of their dishes when they cook (unless they are dirt poor in the rural areas), with two key differences: the meat usually leaner (chicken or more often fish); and meat is just another ingredient (along with veggies, spices, etc.) in the overall dish, not the focus of it. Depending on the region, Chinese dishes (authentic ones, not the westernized crap most people are used to) often use less oil when they cook (only a tablespoon or two for an entire wok).

The China Study found a direct link between the areas in China that ate meat, and diseases like colon and prostate cancer. Areas that traditionally ate less or no meat had a corresponding reduction in chronic diseases. That was before they started eating the 'Western Diet'.

Fair enough, I misunderstood what you meant.

It's all good. I don't think that was clear in my response. My inside voice doesn't always make the outside fingers talk right.

Fortunately for the world my fingers usually question what my inside voice wants them to do.
