How about a diet that achieves this result in 80% of cases and can sometimes help reverse these conditions? There is no profit to be made by promoting this way of eating, so you don't hear about it much through mass media. This way of eating is more like 90% effective in reversing type II diabetes, but seems to be overlooked by mainstream media. Of course it's important to work with your physician to adjust medication levels as you improve your dietary choices. Statins are particularly dangerous with this kind of diet.

"The ideal human diet looks like this: Consume plant-based foods in forms as close to their natural state as possible ('whole' foods). Eat a variety of vegetables, fruits, raw nuts and seeds, beans and legumes, and whole grains. Avoid heavily processed foods and animal products. Stay away from added salt, oil, and sugar. Aim to get 80 percent of your calories from carbohydrates, 10 percent from fat, and 10 percent from protein."

Do you believe positive results like these through such lifestyle choices are too good to be true?
If you want to look at this further, I suggest you read an article cited on Campbell's web site:

Answer
Yea, if these guys are saying their "new" diet is a miracle diet. My brother-in-law has been a healthy food vegetarian since he was 16 (he's now 51), has always been active, jogs in the morning, rides his bike to work, gives the dog a 2 hour walk in the evenings, used to play basketball with his buddies after work until his back started inferring. He has high cholesterol and no amount of high fiber/change of food has been able to bring it down, his body just manufactures too much cholesterol so he's on pills for that. He also has that back problem for which he now has to get injections into the disks for. He also has some sort of nerve disorder which causes him severe pain in his feet and hands. So a health diet can only do so much. The human body is far far far more complicated then these professors are taking into consideration.

Is trauma to the testicles a bad thing?

I was told that as a kid. Someone i know got into a fight, and got kicked in the nuts. Someone watching the fight, the brother of the victim, told the other kid, "If my brother gets cancer there, i'm coming after YOU!" This was 30 years ago. Kids say the darndest things. Can it really give you cancer, or cause any type of long term effects? I remember riding my bike one day as a kid, and slamming into a garage door. My family jewels were toast, with no butter and jam!! I was aching all that day. I didn't have a goose neck pad on my bike at the time, which would have prevented the pain of such a nut crunch.


Answer
Yes trauma to the testicles is a bad thing. Chances are that if that much time has passed with no ill effects you are in the clear. It's not likely that your testicles are going to wake up one morning and say "oh my I just remembered that time you got kick 30 years ago! Let's stop working." :) Serioulsy though, yes it's not a good idea to get hurt there. Yes it can lead to problems like sterility. Is it likely you are going to suffer from something that happened in childhood, probably not if you haven't noticed something wrong already. You can have serious injuries to your testicles that are permanent but you'd most likely know you had them.
