For instance, did you know that aspartame which is now regularly put in food as a sweetner, is the "poop" from a bacteria which was developed to eat chemical waste?
Not to mention (this is according to a friend of mine) that it causes hair loss and got several Dessert Storm soldiers sick (when its heated to much it changes and can make you sick or something along those lines).
Regarding aspartame, yeah that stuff is very bad and is linked to cancer as far as I know.
Got any legitimate proof for that?
I'd be interested in any evidence of that, too.
Good old natural sugar, on the other hand, is linked with obesity and diabetes.
The Regulative Principle of Eating requires that I have meat, whether fowls, creeping things, wild, or four-footed beastly creatures.
I believe low carb, moderate protein, high fat is the healthiest.

And, believe there are health issues with going vegan.
Just my two cents ... don't want to argue about it.
I beg to differ on that one.You brain needs the fats/cholesterol/protein found in animal products

Dessert Storm?!!! Now that I could get behind! Sign me up!
We watched the documentaries "Forks over Knives" and "Food, Inc." Forks over Knives was related to the CNN special, which I referenced in the OP, but was more extensive. We watched Food, Inc. last night, and that made quite the impression with me as well. Has anyone else seen these docs?
Food Inc was interesting, I found "The Future of Food" to be very good as well.Has anyone else seen these docs?

As for Milk, I love raw milk. I know it does not have hormones injected

Here's another thought (and I'm sure someone will jump all over me for it, but it's just an observation)--with the rise of processed foods in the Western diet has come the flood of cancer patients. I'm not blaming processed foods for the rise in cancer, but I wonder if there is some connection?

Exactly. Not just physical health problems but mental problems/depression. You brain needs the fats/cholesterol/protein found in animal products. Ask a veg*n about their mental health 18-36 months after taking the plunge.

Sure you aren't thinking of HFCS? In my opinion, cane sugar is much better for you (or less bad, perhaps) than is HFCS.

There's no evidence to support your claim. Your body doesn't care--sugar is sugar. Replacing one form for another has no impact on health.

My wife is a physician and her undergraduate was in nutrition and food science, so this is often our dinner-time conversation.
