Talk:Adventist Health Studies

Good job
Hi User:Sdenny123, great job on creating this article and your recent expansion of it. An important topic, and one you've written neutrally and sourced reliably. Colin MacLaurin (talk) 05:29, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Vegetarian
Hello, shouldn't it be mentioned in this entry, that the diet of the participating people was mostly vegetarian? That's one of the most important things about this study, I guess. Stefan, Germany —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.33.41.162 (talk) 15:54, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

publications
Could someone add a section for publication titles in scholarly journals (like pubmed referenced journals) where this data/results/conclusions are published? THanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.178.233.72 (talk) 21:49, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

STRANGE ARTICLE OMITTING THE MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATIONS ON VEGETARIANS
This article was written by a misleading person - there is NO data of the beginning of the study, NO INFORMATION ON VEGETARIAN DIET... shame on you, cheaters! Pythagora was killed for refusing to eat meat - same dark forces are at work here at Wikipedia - so sad... there is even no French, GErman .. traduction! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.167.132.175 (talk) 11:35, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Seventh-day Adventist Diet
Seventh-day Adventist Church has this: "An estimated 35% of Adventists practice vegetarianism or veganism, according to a 2002 worldwide survey of local church leaders." References are there.

Seventh-day Adventist Diet. It is a reference that may be of use. From that page: "As a whole, Adventists typically follow a vegetarian or vegan diet. Each member eats a little differently and their food choices may consist of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, dairy products, and healthy fats such as olive oil. Most Seventh-day Adventists (SDA) try to stay away from processed foods, sugar, sugar substitutes, and food additives."

The key part that is often not mentioned in both Wikipedia and the studies (or only in passing) is this part: "stay away from processed foods, sugar, sugar substitutes, and food additives." Basically, a whole-foods, natural diet without synthetic additives. That's what their food catalogs sell too. That can be referenced too. The studies may mention this in passing, and so it should be mentioned in the Wikipedia articles on those studies. Personally, I think that some that are involved in the studies may be clueless, and think that there is some magical food, or combination of a few magical foods that explain the longer lives. Like beans. But I think it is the fact that they eat a natural diet from the days of yore. But that is just my opinion. And referencing me may not be a reliable source. :) --Timeshifter (talk) 15:51, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
