Interesting Cholesterol finally took a toll and had to quit eating meat. This guy definitely has the skills to survive in Paleo times

I would say that having a genetic disease that killed both your father and grandfather would be something to take seriously. However, I don't see any evidence that had they eaten a diet high in fruit, vegetables and whole grains (which is apparently what the Spartan's ate... really?) would have prolonged their lives.

Who says he "had to quit eating meat"? You're just spouting CW nonsense. Troll?Originally Posted by shoreline
Why I don't worry about cholesterol:
Lyon Diet Heart Trial
Get With The Guidelines admission data
Sydney Diet Heart Study revisited
INTERHEART Study
Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease with a Mediterranean Diet
The problem with modern medicine is that doctors don't view the prescription of drugs as a failure to keep you healthy

Bear Grylls and his doctors said he had to stop eating meat. The real CW is the "belief" that the cholesterol is what killed his dad and grandfather.

Yeah based on wholegrains. If he was eating a lot of that before it sure could explain a lot, no? Inflammation causes pain and cholesterol problems. Someone should introduce him to the HeartScan Blog!Based on fruit, vegetables and wholegrains with as much raw food as possible and no animal fats or vegetable oils, it is a Spartan regime, but Bear has embraced it enthusiastically.

The article is from 2007? I wonder if there are any updates on his condition?

The dude is pretty awesome, but you know what they say about things you can't unsee? I can't think of him without thinking of this video now. Sorry, Bear.
