A quick look at the study seems to indicate the years added is more like 3 years, but it takes 10 years to kick in.

Right plot presents similar estimates with a feasible approach* diet (time to full effect: 10 years).

Learned a new word today: Pulses. The edible part of legumes basically. Legumes can include non edible parts.

Oh look. Yet another list of countries with universal healthcare.

But no, no, it's the cheese that's the problem.

Eating more grain is the answer? The same grain that causes inflammation and is loaded with dense carbs?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Grain = Beer. This is my interpretation and I'm sticking with it.

[–] snausagesinablanket 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I concur and light beer is for people that like to piss a lot.

Look, I'll take care of my kidneys how I want and you can take care of them how you want.

Yes. Whole grains have repeatedly been shown to have health benefits. Though you should obviously still avoid eating more calories than your body needs.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

or just eat less carbs and burn more calories because your acetatic acid metabolism works and be more active. then you can simply breath out the calories you dont need.

I'm a big proponent of enjoying life, rather than trying to extend it as much as possible. I ride a motorcycle in part because it's cheaper on a day-to-day basis, but also it's just more fun than being stuck in a car.

Why would i want to live longer if it meant that I had to give up cheese?

Yes, things that taste good are usually not good for you. But provided you maintain your physical condition otherwise, why insist on denying yourself all the enjoyment life has to offer?

I’m a big proponent of enjoying life

Me too, about everyone enjoying life, not just humans while others suffer in factory farms and die in gas chambers.

You mean the study that was published in the journal PLOS Medicine.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

You were so excited to troll that you couldn’t even get the website correct lmao

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

no it would not. I would be unhappy those 10 years even if it would.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

[–] answersplease77 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Superman does good. They're doing well.

Great, 10 more years of sticking a tube up my dick , shitting the bed, and wondering where Delilah is and why she hasn't come home (I've never known anyone named Delilah)

[–] Dadifer 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's the thing... it's not just longer life, it's more enjoyable longer life

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Somehow I almost stopped eating meat over the past couple years without even trying. I used to eat it a lot but I just started to crave it less and less and now I eat it like once a week maybe. I noticed limiting carbs has a good effect on me, so I don't eat a lot of them too. But I could not give up diary, it's like all of my favorite food.

Yeah but they're the last 10 of your life, which usually means that they're the shitty, diaper wearing, going senile, not allowed to drive anymore years. I'd rather die younger and at all at once, thanks.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 3 months ago

That’s is a slippery slope argument as there is no guarantee that the last 10 years of someone’s life is how you describe it.
