I am definitely coming to the conclusion that all food is good for you!! - if you don't eat, then you die!!!!
In the 50's poor people in Sri Lanka ate roasted food, corn, cassava, plantain, sweet potato at least for one meal!!!.
None on those people went to hospital, as farmer's helping hand they had their regular exercise and earned a daily wage for feed the family.
I saw this in Nigeria in the late 70's.
Therefore fresh food cooked well is the answer.
The famer's helping hand worked 8- hours, 7 days a week when there is work.
Work started 5 AM. Simple food, tea without milk or sugar. One good meal in the evening!
They had a healthy life.
Is THIS the secret to a long life?

Members of the remote South American tribe are far less likely to develop heart disease as they age.
That's because the tribes people have extremely healthy arteries thanks to their active lifestyle.
Professor Hillard Kaplan, from the University of New Mexico, who led the study, said: 'Their lifestyle suggests that a diet low in saturated fats and high in non-processed fibre-rich carbohydrates, along with wild game and fish, not smoking and being active throughout the day could help prevent hardening in the arteries of the heart.'

It is an interesting article but these people do not have the stress in their lives that we have in our modern society. No cars, no bills to pay, no pollution, no going to work every day that we have to do whether we want to or not, no modern technology, the list is endless which is why the results from this trial is difficult to judge against our way of life. Only the fit ones survive to grow up makes a difference too as they have no hospitals or doctors.
People get confused with the term low carb. The important thing is to remove all simple carb's complex carb's eaten by their tribe of people are fine. Notice they are not eating bread and pasta. The other interesting thing was their susceptibility to infections could this be because of their very low cholesterol which is needed to fight infections.
To be fair though, they exercised 6 hours a day. They also had very high CRP levels which we in the West see as a sign of heart disease (in their case it was because of infection)
One of the fittest guys on the planet - Ranulph Fiennes - had a heart attack, he said because of high fats but probably over exercise and stress
