I like Levi. He seems like a nice guy and I can't recall hearing too many bad things about him.
While his antics are a little unnecessary, I can forgive him for that because he probably doesn't know much better.
The thing is, Levi's not like us. For some of us, it's our dream to compete on SASUKE. For him, it's a secondary priority that takes a back seat to, well, doing flips.

So here. I just searched for about two minutes and found this. It's an interesting read that pokes holes in just about everything David has posted so far: www.vanguardonline.f9.co.uk/00509.htmNow see, that's all I wanted. Thank you very much Oti. I'm truly sorry if I annoyed you, just trying to get the facts here.

Well, to be honest with you man, after a 20 minute preliminary search of Google, I find a lot more information that suggests a vegetarian diet is better in the long run. The most intriging study I found was this one that states a 3.6 year increase in people who have a "Low meat consuming diet" as opposed to those who have an "Average meat consuming diet." www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/full/78/3/526SNow, granted, I also found some information that backs up some of your claims, such as the fish oil statement. However, I can't find any study or article that either proves or disproves what you're saying about the link of some meats and cancer. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to give you a hard time. As a dude who was already strongly considering a vegetarian diet, I was naturally interested in David's claim of some meat's correlation to cancer. Now, if this proof is as easy to find as you say it is, I see no reason why you can't just post it here and put this to rest.

If David wants the proof, he can look it up, as can any of you. I'm really not trying to interject in a thread that I have contributed nothing to, but why can't you give proof? Under that rule, I could say Thomas Jefferson was George Washington's Vice President before John Adams was. It's not true, but because no direct evidence to the contrary has been given, no one besides someone who has studied that subject could disprove it.

Time for some of my last minute predictions. They will knock 10 seconds off the First Stage time limit. And Urushihara and Yamamoto will time out because of it. The First Stage will feature a new deceptively hard obstacle that will take out Takeda and Kanno. Yamada will finally pass the First Stage with almost no time remaining. He will then proceed to fail the Metal Spin. And finally, my crazy prediction that will never happen: Only 2 people are making the Third Stage, Yoshiyuki Okuyama and Lee Enchi. Enchi will once again fail the SCH, and Okuyama will fail the Gliding Ring. While these kinds of things do tend to happen when there's a black cloud over Midoriyama (day of bad luck) there would likely be people that you didn't mention and are not well known to advance to the second stage that never have before. I understand that, and I think you're right. Mainly, when I see the title "I'm Calling It," I'm gonna make some rather unlikely predictions. In reality, I would bet money that Nagano is making it to the Final Stage. And I would even consider betting that he achieves Kanzenseiha. I will say that I think there won't be as many clears from stage to stage as people think. I see something in the realm of: 10 clear Stage 1, 5 clear Stage 2, and Nagano clears Stage 3.

Alright, I'm jumping out of lurkerness to call 24.
Not only is no one achieving Kanzenseiha, no one is making the Final Stage.
Bank on it.
