Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Hugs for aurelia and msbelle, and crossed fingers for Dana.

I just read a disturbing article that claims a diet moderate to high in protein in middle age, esp animal-based protein, raises your risk of cancer to the same degree that smoking does. Yipes! Study comes out of 'SC.

I saw that, too, Burrell. Which is why my salad at lunch had no chicken in it (although I forgot to tell them to skip the blue cheese...)

Nooo! You can't take my cheese from me!

Because books.

I can't keep up, though. Every day something new is bad for you. I figure if I eat everything in moderation, I'm sort of covering my bases.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My feeling as well.

Because books.

And like shrift, you'll never take my cheese (or seafood or cake) from me anyway.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I've been told to shift toward higher protein, lower carb. It does keep me from binge snacking.

Yep. Plus, no way in hell am I giving up cheese or bacon.

Less sensational take on the research: [link]

Also, it's based on a recall study. Never trust a recall study. Even the authors note:

There are some limitations to our study, which should be acknowledged. First, the use of a single 24 hr dietary recall followed by up to 18 years of mortality assessment has the potential of misclassifying dietary practice if the 24 hr period was not representative of a participant's normal day.

I think I've done a pretty good job about decreasing my meat intake. I think my dairy intake also is relatively low, aside from my Cheese Issue. The Issue being that it makes everything more delicious.

Ooh, I think I'll roast a beet tonight and top it with goat cheese.
