For the first one PCRM, I agree fully. Most meat are tainted with growth hormone and God knows what else. Process food is also bad. That's why we should eat more unprocessed food. Fruits and veges in raw form, less meat ball, burger, fast food. Plain carbs (potatoes, rice, mee) are very different from complex carbs (oats, bran, psyllium husk)
Depends on what kind of food. Too much fried food is bad as it will increase the omega 6 content in the body. Omega 6 is pro-inflammatory and as oil accumulate, they accumulate toxin as well leading to cellular damage. That's just omega 6. We haven't touch about trans fat found in peanut butter, margarine (process food) However we should not be afraid of oil. There are good oil like extra Virgin olive oil (don't ever heat this oil), Virgin coconut oil, fish oil. Without oil, cancer fighting substance like beta-carotene, curcumin cannot be absorbed into the body.
There are ways to prevent cancer like taking cancer fighting food every day. Turmeric, carrot, broccoli, green tea, garlic, spirulina, cholrella, tomatoes, capsicum Increase those food, cut down on process food.
Food such as Mediterranean diet is considered one of the world healthiest food.
White potatoes are some of the best foods. One of the best foods for helping to lose weight, they're similar to sweet potatoes.
The key here, even for the Mediterranean diet, is to focus on a wide variety of whole, unprocessed foods, which may include potatoes.
Lots of greens, plants, fruits, legumes. Then comes a smaller amount of processed items like traditionally baked breads.
Some consumption, though minimal, meat and diary.
Also, Mediterranean diet doesn't exactly mean oils are very healthy and people should consume unlimited amounts. It is just that the combination of exercise, plenty of plants, large variety, moderate amount of healthful oils, minimal dairy and meat, and strong social relationships all come into play to create a healthy body.
In the PERIMED study, they used slightly less than 3 Tbsp of olive oil in a day.
