“Say that Someone Eats Three Ice-Cream Sundaes for Dinner Seven Nights a Week. And for a Long Time He Lives. Then at Age 45 He Has a Massive Heart Attack and Dies. Do You Say That His Diet Worked for All Those Years?”

Set forth below is the text of a comment that I recently posted to the discussion thread for another blog entry at this site:

“Every 30-year period has failed. Every 20-year period has failed. Every ten-year period has failed. Every five-year period has failed. Every one-year period has failed.“

That is factually incorrect. When you make statements like that, it tells people that you are either lying or you have no ability to even look at numbers. With the comments you make, it is not surprising

Say that someone eats three ice-cream sundaes for dinner seven nights a week. And for a long time he lives. Then at age 45 he has a massive heart attack and dies. Do you say that his diet worked for all those years? I say that he was engaging in high-risk behavior and that the diet failed the first time he employed it because it did damage to his long-term health. It would have been better if he had been eating sensibly.
