I don't want this blog to become just a syndication of NutritionFacts videos, but I thought this one was too good to pass over. It is also highly relevant, considering the focus I have previously put on diet and heart disease - including the work of Caldwell Esselstyn.
Check out these lines from one of the papers highlighted:
The fact that a low-fat, fibre-rich vegan diet is likely to reduce risk for most types of cancer, ischemic heart disease.. obesity, diabetes, hypertension, osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis, gallstones, renal stones, appendicitis, diverticulitis, hiatal hernia, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, and possibly the chief metabolic complications of pregnancy - disorders which collectively are responsible for the majority of the deaths and hospitalizations in Western society - should be sufficient to recommend it....I suspect that the simple injunction, 'Do not eat animal products' has the potential to do more for world health than all of the abstruse wisdom in all of the world's medical libraries.
