Word in the macrobiotic press is that Sattilaro was subject to interpersonal influences and not-so-subtle pressures from close friends urging him to abandon his macrobiotic diet. MaynardClark (talk) 18:31, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
MaynardClark the macrobiotic press are biased, they did not report that Sattilaro died from cancer. Sattilaro ate a high-fat meat-based diet for the majority of his life, he admitted to spending years eating dairy such as full fat cheese, eggs, bacon, ham, pork etc and this likely caused his cancer. If you eat terrible like that for over 40 years of course there will be bad health consequences (there is a strong link between processed meats and cancer). It was only after he was diagnosed with cancer that he went on a strict vegetarian macrobiotics diet. I find it unlikely he added meat back into his diet. He was never a vegan so he was consuming some low-fat dairy on his macrobiotics diet. The people in the macrobiotics community just do not want to accept he died from cancer on their diet, they say he was eating lots of chicken. Sattilaro's book was republished in 1988 (1 year before he died). It is very unlikely he gave up his macrobiotics diet but we will never know. Anecdotes are not reliable.
