Not for me. Occasional arrhythmias ended for good when I stopped eating veggies.
A piece of fruit is OK, but "vegetables, fruits, nuts, good protein, beans and some wheat products" would kill me.

To have an arrhythmia now I must take too many stupid pills.

There is no way to know for sure if Steve J's diet influence the development of his cancer or not since there are so many factors to consider, not the least of which is genetics.

A person I know has a son (38) who developed liver cancer 2 years ago. They removed 2/3 of his liver and it has regenerated. After chemo treatments, he was all clear until just now and more spots are evident. Tragically, just now, his father who is early 60's fell ill and they are testing and reviewing a liver involvement and possibly a genetic pancreatic cancer link. Not so coincidentally, the grandfather died at age 80 with pancreatic cancer.... so it can be a gene flaw that expresses early in some; latent in others. Diet might influence it, but unless the flaw is identified, it's difficult to know how to suppress the expression which is the whole key.

When I tested oatmeal that I made (rolled) myself from whole oats, it spiked my blood sugar just as surely as refined carbs, but maybe a bit slower.

Eating a long term whole foods veg (20 years) diet, my blood lipid metrics were wonderful. However my blood sugar metrics were less than stellar. It led me to change my approach.

I don't know the kind of Vegan diet that Steve Jxxs was on, it is just so strange. I always thought my brother would have excellent health due to his diet, which lots of people think is good, maybe as far as heart health is concerned a veggie diet is good, but what happens to the rest of the body, that is what I see has happened to him.

I don't know the answer Carol, there are a lot of doctors and gurus out there that have the answers, but they really aren't. I just believe that we need good food, lots of vegetables, fruits, nuts, good protein, beans and some wheat products. I also don't believe in taking a lot of supplements, get your vitamins from food, I do take some supplements but don't go overboard.

Isn't there some confusion here about the difference between a diet based on simple carbs as opposed to one based on complex carbs?
