What is your definition of "significant" here?


Lentils are almost universally considereed among the most healthy and
nutritious foods on the planet. Can you say the same for ham?


You could survive a lifetime on a diet of ham. You couldn't do so
with lentils, they are not a complete protein. It has continually
surprised me that Adkins-style high prtoein, high fat diets have not
been found to be extremely unhealthy. But they are better for you
than a carbohydrate rich diet, irrespective of the complexity of the
carbohydrates in question. Ham doesn't have the high fat content of
most other meats, so the fat issue is pretty much a non sequitur
here. Folks are stuck in old thinking here. That's not shock, it is
indeed surprising.
