"The nice anti cancer alkaline pH state" is kind of underestimating cancer's merit's/parameters... There are endless genetic factors that overrule this pathway.... The best diet is one under control w/o overconsumption of overall cals.... Further, being lean w/ abs is not the clear cut symbol of health... Ask Kunta, the 5 yr old Somalian w/ abs who eats flies for breakfast...
It's not underestimating cancer's merit at all.
There is a lot of recent peer reviewed research that does in fact, show that keeping your body in an alkaline state will make a hugely significant difference in an individual acquiring cancer, or if dealing with it, how the body reacts.
I eat a ton of veggies and it has done nothing but positive things, unless the placebo effect is clouding my judgement. Which I doubt it is, as I am very in tune with my body.
I do not like vegetables and tolerate them at most, even though I'm eating minimum seven to eight servings per day. I do like how I feel when and after I eat them though. I'm slowly acquiring tastes, but like I said it's mostly tolerance.
With all the past and present research on the effects of vegetables, I can't understand why one wouldn't consume them. Whether one is losing weight or gaining muscle, they only have a positive role to play in the human bodies development at pretty much all ages.
Even putting that extra tomato slice, lettuce slice and onion slice on a hamburger will be beneficial. Not to mention they often add some nice flavors when mixed with other food/food groups.
