        The only downsides I can see to NeanderThin are diarea from eating
a high-fat low fiber diet.  The upsides are rapid (RAPID) weight loss in
persons over 300 lbs, low tooth decay, high energy, etc.
        As for cancer, let's talk about that.  There was once a common
food die called butter-yellow.  This dye caused cancer.  Now, I'm not
going to make the argument that NeanderThin's don't eat food dyes, because
that's irrelevent.  My argument is that they COULD if they wanted.  In an
experement on rats, those rats in the experement WHICH WERE FED LARGE
AMOUNTS OF LIVER failed to develop the cancers of the liver which appeard
in the control aniumals which has consumed this insidious aniline dye.
        Now, I don't trust experements on herbevorus rodents any more than
you, so don't expect me to go out and eat dye.  However, some of us do
smoke, which DOES cause cancer in humans as far as we can tell.  There is
present in tobacco smoke a poisonous chemical called pyridine.
Experemints by Dr. Jacob A. Stekol and Dr. William J. Conway, of Fordham
University, have indicated that a diet rich in cystine and methoinine, two
amino acids found in meat, milk, and eggs, are effective in preventing
damaging effects from this chemical poison on humman tissues.
        Furthermore, some of us are unable to give up alchohol on this
diet.  In the case of the drinker, meat is very important.  According to
AMA results published in October of 1942, high protein intake is an
important factor in preventing alchoholic cirhosis of the liver.
