I am 66 and I used to have a whole host of medical problems . I have been eating a whole food plant based diet for over 8 years and within less than 2 1/2 years most of my health problems were gone.

[@dianawells3300]

Paul Doe Thanks. Your story is encouraging. I've been 95% Vegetarian for the past five years, and not much meat for the 20 years prior. However, I come from a paternal family history of obesity and heart disease. I was raised in white bread, margarine, sugar sandwiches for a snack, and the cheapest fatty meats and foods that money could buy. I recently started a fat-free vegan only diet. It' was still a shock to my system. I lost six pounds of abdominal fat in seven days. It was a bit too fast, so I added back a small amount of olive oil before I started to gnaw on the chairs, and I feel less empty. Still losing weight though. Your story has inspired me to keep going.

[@mungia1500]

Diana Wells Would love to have an update!💕

[@deljeannemathews1965]

Paul, I have a similar story. I was raised eating some meat and switched to a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet when I was 17. By the time I was in my 30's I was allergic to nearly everything under the sun - inhalants, danders, pollens, fibers, foods, my own neuro-transmitters . . . . When I was in my mid-40's my husband and I switched to a totally plant-based diet. all of my allergies disappeared one by one. My husband had been told he was on the verge of diabetes, cancer and heart failure, but now we are both experiencing greater health and feeling better than ever before. A few years before making the change, I had a hysterectomy at age 34; and an expensive surgery on both feet. The foot surgery left me with more problems than it solved; but switching my diet eliminated even the problems with my feet. I firmly believe that I would not have needed either surgery had I changed my diet earlier.

[@sk8queen]

Once I ditched dairy, all of my joint inflammation and uper respiratory issues left. I have no sinusitis, bronchitis, or anything. Iwas still a heavy consumer of tomatoes. Once I stopped those, my inflammation issues left completely. I'm 56 years old, can do a full squat with no knee and hip pain whatsoever.

[@xb4439]

Love to see such testimony. God bless!

[@artjohnson5911]

Eat all the meat you want, but the statistics don't lie. Same with dairy, I gave both up nine years ago after a triple by pass. My arteries were so clogged I wasn't allowed to go home. The heart doctor told me if you don't change your diet you'll be back in 10 years, and that scared me enough to change my diet, and I'm 68 and still performing slight of hand magic gigs and feel good. Oh yah I almost forgot, I got off of my blood pressure meds., that was huge, my sex drive was back in 2 weeks.

[@gerrygold9273]

+Chi Walker. Hi. I gave up Meat and all Meat Products and my Cholesterol went down and my general health got better. I stopped getting any colds and flue. My plant base diet is great, I enjoy it. My family think I'm starving to death because I have lost a little weight. I feel good, I look good and I know my body is functioning at a high level. 💪💪👍👌 My daughter inlaw gets angry with me because I eat vegetables. She is over weight with a skin desease.. SCIRASIS and POS. She is always on my case about vegetables being sprayed with pestersides, so she can't see why I eat them. And how we have the canine teeth to eat meat. But I just egnore her I don't rise to the bate. She's mad at me because I don't want to eat her food. I just stay cool and not talk about it. If there is an opportunity to bring a food dish to the party or event bring a tasty vegan dish. Don't tell them it's Vegan Dish. If they enjoy it and want to know what's in it then you tell them. That's what I do. 😂😃😅😆😄 People are surprised that Vegan or plant base food can taste so good.

[@adamcat4d]

At least art gave a real example - you just did a Donal Trump - no facts, no research and then abuse someone - so who is the idiot?

Hate to break it to you but Donald Trump DOES give facts........people like you just don't listen.......

[@kerrylucks1700]

Agree. Or be bothered about doing some of their own research.

[@dmirto01]

Geert W.....You need to go back and study....Plant based diets aren't sugar-based and don't include tons of sugar....Fools? Fools?.....Dr. Michael Greger gives exactly what is science based and what is good......PLANT BASED DIET IS BY FAR HEALTHIEST - NO COMPARISON........No sugar ladened carbs......Couch Potatoes vs. Endurance Athletes?...burning sugar is what high effort machines - endurance athletes- do. Many Endurance Athletes die young........MORON!...

[@clydecreason9188]

Your first stent or bypass is a rude, painful wake-up call. My 1st cardiologist never said to quit eating meat. He said the white meat of poultry was OK. Wrong! 7 years a vegan has me feeling so much better., even with a triple bypass.

[@THEEEYeti]

I've been transitioning to a plant based diet and haven't loss any muscle mass like meat advocates claim you will. In fact my workouts are more effective in every way and I feel better all around. Meat can be a treat, but only that, just like alcohol consumption, candy and the like.

[@gerrygold9273]

At least that's a start. Now that you know meat and milk products cause cancer and Death. It's time to kick it to the curb. Do further research to get your self set.

[@animalsarebeautifulpeople3094]

Please watch DOMINION. i went vegan for the animals because their lives are worth more than my taste buds. Treats should not be at the expense of an entire life of torture for sentient beings. Thanks for reading. Btw there are tons of great tasting vegan junk foods if you want treats :)

[@daleg5380]

Plants contains all essential amino acids that the body can synthesize. Animal proteins cant be fully utilized by the body, they just putrefy in our gut as a carcass.

[@ScotCampbellwindowpainter]

I read the China Study. It was very revealing. I have been vegan for over 3 years. I went through many stages. Not eating meat and dairy is just normal to me. I do not feel deprived of flavor and taste whatsoever. My health is very good at 59, I have no negative health issues. I did want to make the point though. How could I possibly judge anyone for their food consumption choices? I ate burgers for breakfast and massive amounts of meat and dairy just a few years ago.

[@newsnation3686]

No one is judging you, I was a Vegan for many years and also a Rawist. At first you feel awesome but then your energy starts to drop and your brain will begin to become very deficient. It is not a sustainable diet and is extreme. If you do not care for meat and dairy that's fine, If it was me I would at least eat wild caught fish a few times week. Like Salmon which is the top ten healthiest foods on the planet. Also i would take a Cod liver oil supplement everyday and I would take a Vitamin D and Calcium supplement so that you do not become deficient. I think staying open minded is what counts the most.

[@joecaner]

Holly Vanderhouck I for one do not judge others for their dietary choices. One pays their money and takes their chances. When I ate fish, cod, salmon and ahi tuna were my favorites. One of the most problematic things about fish consumption is the bio-accumulation of environmental pollutants in their tissues. I find that many people eating a vegan diet eat too many manufactured foods and don't really eat enough whole foods. It's a good idea for just about everyone living in the temperate zones to get adequate vitamin D. Those eating vegan definitely need to supplement with B12. How long were you a raw foodist? It can be tricky getting optimal nutrition on a strictly raw food diet.

[@ScotCampbellwindowpainter]

Hello Holley, I believe what you are saying is true for you, but certainly not true for everyone. My suggestion would be to edit your statement... instead of this... "At first you feel awesome but then your energy starts to drop and your brain will begin to become very deficient. It is not a sustainable diet and is extreme." try this... At first I felt awesome, but then my energy started to drop and my brain began to become very deficient. It is not a sustainable diet for me and is extreme.

[@ScotCampbellwindowpainter]

Joe Caner Hi Joe, Your statement ... "I find that many people eating a vegan diet eat too many manufactured foods and don't really eat enough whole foods". ...has applied to me off and on over the past 3 years of being vegan. I would go from eating healthy whole foods and fresh green juices to vegan fast food, pizza, hot dogs, ice cream, etc. Originally I was 235 then dropped down to around 182, when I started getting up to almost 190, I went on a short 3 day juice fast, which ends today. It reboots my system and brain, then I start eating healthier foods again. But all in all eating vegan for me personally has helped me keep the weight off and be my healthiest. Oh and B12 I discovered is not an issue for me personally.

[@newsnation3686]

Scot Campbell That's wonderful I had similar benefits of weight-loss myself. I would not fool yourself about the B12 though, you have enough stores now but soon you won't and I would not wait until you run out completely. Like I said eating a rich B diet is the key and animals are the richest sources of those not vegetables. I wish vegans would at least consider Cod liver oil supplement it really does give your brain a boost and helps you on so many levels. I really wish that people would of gotten through to me but sadly I had to find out the hard way. Please do not wait until it is too late to do something about it. The China Study was a study on a minority of Chinese people. The majority eat fish and lots of vegetables and their diet is just as healthy as the ones living off rice and vegetables. Also those ones who can not afford meat do so because they are very poor and that is sadly all they have to eat.

[@rickyarmentrout8678]

Is it natural to eat meat? What really is Natural? Regardless of what you consider "natural" the evidence of the china study is more than enough for me to understand the link between diet and health. On a vegan diet I have lost 40lbs of fat and now, at 35yrs old, am back to what I weighed in high school. My body has healed itself from multiple problems that developed over 29 years of a meat and cheese lifestyle. I have seen the tortured animals, I now know the real hidden cost of the industrial animal farming model to our planet and our health. I don't hate those who eat animal products, they are on their own path, and I once walked it as well. I just wish more of us could be open minded enough to experience the healthly explosion of life that can be had from making the humane choice in our eating. Good Luck, and healthy eating:)

[@MissJIntuitiveTarot]

I couldn't agree with you more. There are people that instantly state their opinion without looking at the research. I for one lost a lot of weight eating healthy and I no longer have heart problems or high blood pressure. I never have the aches and pains and arthritis that I once had. People would rather complain, make ugly comments about vegans, and try NOT something healthy to see if it will work for them than to give up their so called comfort foods. People are so brainwashed by the government, who has a serious financial interest in this, that they take their word for what is good for them instead of BEING SMART and looking into the truth for themselves.

[@MissJIntuitiveTarot]

danL1011 As a researcher, I am just going to have to agree to disagree with you here. In my personal opinion his opinion, and that of the China Study, and of many other research studies similar, his research is valid. And, getting healthy not based simply on lower sugar, refined carb consumption, and less vegetable oil, though all of those are very positive steps toward a healthy diet. There is nothing wrong with a little meat here and there in moderation, but at the rate this country eats meat, we are killing ourselves. Meat is unnecessary for he human body and people are seriously uneducated to its damaging effects.

[@MissJIntuitiveTarot]

danL1011 Most people who care enough to stay away from animal proteins are already working to eat non-GMO foods.....another huge problem our country is battling. Why on earth do other countries BAN GMO's and the US allows it.........just like using their money to back the meat and dairy industries. All bad for our bodies. Too much protein IS bad for the body. I'd rather live feeling as great as I do now than the way I felt when I ate all this crud. I would rather have this amazing health than to have the health I had previously. Whether you find his research valid and conclusions flawed is for each person to debate. I agree that wheat is nothing like it use to be. There is no debate there.

[@MissJIntuitiveTarot]

danL1011 And YOU are taking sides? Hmmmmmm

[@Lozie82]

Ricky Armentrout Props to you.... how long did it take for your desire for meat and/or dairy to go away?

[@prizantsproducts4u]

I have survived Cancer (age 34) and now CHF (diagnosed in 2010 age age 52), I have gone vegan in January 2018, and I will be (G-d willing) 60 in October! I lived and survived 3 horrible diseases (oh yes, @ age 12 had hepatitus) to tell my STORY!!!! WOW, Crying out to the L-rd for healing, I give the glory and honor and thanks to him for sending me the wisdom in education, to heal. I thank all the doctors ( Drs. Esselstyn, Campbell, Furhman, Gregor, Ornish, Bernard, Mills, Goldhammer, Popper, and my personal doctor Panigrahi) I have studied as well, for my healing!

[@denyjadul3371]

I believe in karma, we should not killing animal to get food. God give us many kind of plant for food. Plant doesnt feel hurt, plants doesnt feel sad,.. but animal does. Animal ( specially mammals ) are not for food.

[@ViolentVegan]

Yuri Ivanovich You do know that a plant doesn't have feelings and pain, right? Is this new information? I am prepared to accept that plants on some level may have a type of sentience.. but even so the amount of fear and pain which we are able to inflict on them is nothing compared to that which we can inflict on highly intelligent creatures such as pigs especially with brutal factory farming methods which we have now.

[@joecaner]

Yuri Ivanovich Creatine is not an essential nutrient. It is manufactured in the human body. All essential amino acid and fats can be sourced from plant foods. That is where the animals you eat get them. You could have said B12, but neither animals nor plants create it. It is made by bacteria. Meat consumption's correlation to cancer risk has been reported in over a hundred epidemiological studies to date. That doesn't mean that you will get cancer from eating meat. You are just increasing your odds. It's a risk/reward trade off that everyone needs to make for themselves. That said, cancer is not the only risk factor from meat consumption. Meat consumption has been linked to all cause mortality not to mention dementia, diabetes, diverticulitis and many other decrepitudes including impotence and infertility. You say that you "don't care," but I see evidence that you do, otherwise why post at all. You must care about something even if it is nothing more than being right. I get it. You like eating meat, and your attitudes about its necessity coincide with your beliefs in your culture, history and human evolution. You don't like being told that something that you believe to be wholesome is otherwise just on the say so of some geeks in lab coats, but that is just the nature of beliefs. Sometimes they are out of step with our best understanding at any given point in time. Good luck and be well Yuri Ivanovich.

[@joecaner]

***** Boy howdy! Those sure are some cool biblical verses. Why, it's no wonder why so many people turn to this wondrous, uplifting and inspirational book for their morality and as their definitive source of information on subjects as diverse as biology, cosmology and geology. Here are some of my favorites. I sure hope you enjoy them: Exodus 21:20-21 20 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property. Deuteronomy 2:33-34 33 And the Lord our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people. 34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain: Deuteronomy 21:18-21 18 If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: 19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; 20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. 21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear. Why, only witches or homosexuals would fail to murder their unruly children, and by the way, you should kill them after they've killed their disobedient children. Not because they are child killers of course, but because the bible demands that gays and witches need to be killed. I'm not quite sure why but that's what the bible says so who are we to turn from its holy and loving precepts. So be sure that while you're eating your meat, murdering your delinquent children and promulgating genocide, please don't kill your slaves while you're beating them, okay? And while you're at it, don't let your Karma run over your Dogma.

[@mrski4945]

Joe Caner I got no problem with what you posted.

[@jdemeulenaer123]

Believing in your karma has good consequences in the sense it does not allow to slaughter animals at will and eat as much meat as you wish. There is no more respect for animals these days, one just need to visit slaughter houses and see their record of daily slaughter...It is true that the best for us humans is the vegetable world which is already so ich in flavors , tastes, mixes and the infinite cooking possibilites that Nature offers us..

[@bonniegriffinkaake1369]

Whether you eat animals or not, you owe it to yourself to watch this in its entirety. After going 100% plant-based in Jan. 2012, within 6 months I lost 25 pounds, was able to discontinue 7 of 8 prescription medications and was no longer pre-diabetic. I have more energy than I have had in 10 years and my husband (cholesterol was high and medicated, well within normal in only 6 months) and I are now healthy happy seniors. By the way, if you also listen to Dr. Esselstyn, you will hear him say that Viagra is unnecessary for the vast majority of male vegans regardless of age. If your "flag doesn't fly" it is the canary in the coal mine, as Dr. Esselstyn would say, for cardiovascular disease.

[@newsnation3686]

Am glad your feeling good, but I would be careful to go extreme vegan, I was one for many years and it will not last. In the end we all need something that is dense and sustainable for our bodies. It is the sources that matter. The healthiest people on the planet live in Japan and they eat fish, seafood, dairy (not as noticed for this but there are many who eat dairy) fruit and vegetables. It is very balanced and important food groups are never taken out. The Japanese people know that balance is key.

[@bonniegriffinkaake1369]

Eating a healthy Whole-Foods Plant-Based diet is the healthiest thing you can do for your body, animals and a sustainable planet. Vegan diets can be quite different than WFPB if the vegan diet consists of things like potato chips, pop, and other highly processed "foods". A healthy vegan diet or Whole-Foods Plant-Based way of eating is quite different. We are in the habit culturally to eat meat and dairy even though it is killing us. WFPB is the optimum way of eating healthy that will and does last a lifetime. The largest non-profit health insurance company in USA, Kaiser Permanente, has recommended that their doctors begin educating themselves about Plant-Based Nutrition and advise their patients to eat a WFPB diet for optimum health results. The medical facts are speaking loud and clear.

[@MilkMeatEggs]

That's wonderful, but you didn't get overweight, by animal products and got on 8 medications, but because of processed foods.

[@bonniegriffinkaake1369]

Not true. I was eating all veggies, chicken, fish and milk/cheese. Extremely small amounts of any processed foods. We THOUGHT we were eating healthy.

[@MilkMeatEggs]

Bonnie Griffin Kaake What kind of meat, milk, cheese? Pasteurized milk? Farm raised fish? How much? What kind of processed food?

[@rowdrunar9407]

cant lie ever since I've started reading the china study I get paranoid every time I eat some meat. My conditioning from a young age to eating meat is too strong its hard to shake. Though I've completely cut out drinking cows milk so I guess that's a start

[@bonniegriffinkaake1369]

Habits are difficult to break but not impossible. Seat belts save lives but not many chose to use them because it was "inconvenient" until the laws made them mandatory. Every step in the direction of not eating meat and dairy is a help. Just keep moving in that direction. Some people change immediately and other gradually make the changes needed to live a longer and healthier life.

[@missanthrope2158]

Did you cut out meat?

[@rowdrunar9407]

Jessica Huff no

[@davidnunya4938]

+rowd runar Don't worry too much about it. Just read a few critiques of the China Study and you will see it is bloated with bias. Folks claim the vegan diet is best but where are all of the vegan centenarians? Even the Adventist studies quoted by vegans fail to inform that Adventists are actually lacto ovo (They eat dairy and eggs so not even close to vegan) vegetarians and sometimes include poultry and fish, but they also don't smoke, eat oreos and McDonalds.

[@bonniegriffinkaake1369]

There are no valid critiques of the China Study. It is THE most comprehensive study of human nutrition ever done. There are over 700 peer reviewed medical studies (non-biased) referred to in the book and fully noted. They have all come to the same conclusions...the best way of eating is whole-foods plant-based...no meat, fish, eggs or dairy. Also no highly processed foods or oil if you truly want to be healthy. Those that dispute this well researched information have their own personal motives: habit, money making for those promoting fad diets, cultural biases, poorly educated, etc.

Maybe we have been told the same thing for years now so we believe it, who said its right? A plant based diet is what i believe to be correct in my opinion and i follow doctors like this as they arent looking for lifetime consumers or sell you anything, simply eat a simple whole food diet. There are many others and one of my favourites is dr furhman.

Since textbooks were mentioned, I'll provide a current one on nutrition, my September, 2012, "Present Knowledge in Nutrition," by Erdman et al. It is considered trustworthy and authoritative by every university in the world, & it informs us that dairy is perfectly safe & highly effective at providing nutrients for us, especially calcium. Milk does not cause any kind of cancer, and the good Dr. Campbell is only embarrassing himself by claiming that it does.

It’s not the meat or dairy clogging up arteries. It’s the combination of meat or protein with sugar, or sugar from carbohydrates. Sugar and protein consumption causes inflammation and Glycation of proteins, stickiness inside our arteries and cells. A vegan diet is okay if high carb, a keto diet is okay if high fat moderate protein and low carb. Both diets will avoid glycation of proteins. Fat & sugar is a bad combination Protein & fat is okay with veggies & high carb low protein is okay

[@user-zt2wc3uh1l]

I skimmed thru the first half of this. I notice he did not make any distinction between meat/dairy from Big Agra compared to meat/dairy from farm-raised, pastured, grass-fed animals not fed GMO grain, and not shot up with steroids, growth hormones and anti-biotics....big big big difference, and if someone giving a speech does NOT make that distinction, then I question the entire presentation, and wonder WHY they are not making this very important distinction. It would be kind of like saying water is bad for you but not making the distinction between municipal tap water and water from a clean well. Or saying air is bad for you, but not making the distinction between breathing the air in NYC or breathing the air in Montana. There is a big difference, is there not?

[@Raven.13]

Dave Garry can you please link studies that distinguish the difference between the two meats? The research and studies into IGF-1 may contradict your statement. I would like to know more. The cows in my town are grass feed but are all fattened up on grain before slaughter?

Since some uneducated critic has asked "Because its [sic] text book [sic] we should believe it?" which provides an excellent opportunity to reply: "YES!" Textbooks are one of the most precious resources our culture has, in general, to make progress in the field about which the textbook addresses. Nutrition textbooks, in particular, deal with a field about which there is really no controversy, since absorption of nutrients, food quality and such factors are readily examined in scientific ways, leading to pretty complete understanding of all the factors important to getting the nutrients we need.

In grade school, I was the smallest kid by weight, yet also the strongest and fastest; living on my Cherokee, traditional foods of Hominy (corn), Beans & Squash. In 1975, I was talked into switching to the Paleo Diet, "to get bigger & stronger"; ten months ago, at age 50, I almost died from Heart Disease, High Blood Pressure, Type II Diabetes, Gout and Prostate Issues. I switched to VEGAN (no salt, no oil), lost 130 lbs and have completely reversed or cured ALL of the above Diseases and Issues.

The ARK was built by amateurs, the TITANIC by experts... Time to go back to Nature and live the way Nature was intended, to"THRIVE" Connect to Mother Earth she is your Mother... Eat from her body, drink from her body, Walk barefoot across her body. This is the Divine Mother Consciousness...(DMC).. ALL THAT IS, created all that is The universe, The galaxy, The solar system, The earth, Mother Nature and especially YOU...YOU are part of this creation so you should treat youself as such. Love yourself, take care of youself.... NOW in reference to consuming animal protein... intention is everything....... When you CRAVE your food as oppose to enjoying it, Your intention of what you are eating becomes a consciousness. Wether you Crave Alcohol, Sugar, Milk, Wheat, Medications, Cooked and Fried foods coffee or Animal protein Does not matter,,, Your intention is what Matters, When YOU can eat for example Steak one day and not crave it for one month this is a food you can enjoy, BUT if you say YOU have to eat Steak no matter what.!!! YOU show your intention that you are living in Fear, where in actual fact you should be living in the power of LOVE. NO craving at all. Wnen you can eat a steak one day and not have it again, say for a month then you are living in the power of Love.. This goes for everything you CRAVE.! Love and Light to all illipp.:3

No. The point I was making was that you can't blame meat if those same people are also eating sugar and processed garbage. You would need studies of people eating ONLY meat to conclude that meat is harmful. And meat ONLY, not dairy. Meat and dairy (milk products) are two different things. If you are open-minded, I suggest you wander over to any of the low or zero carb websites and read what the people there have to say. They are not dying of cancer--rather they are enjoying good health.

I'd also like to add that in some of Campbells experiments (author of the china study) a significant reduction in tumorogenisis was observed when subjects were given 30% casein. It was suggested in the paper that the higher protein metabolism had a suppressive effect on the tumors. Further, the source of casein was from the equivalent of store bought baby formula. None of the ingredients in this formula were listed. We have no idea whether there was an ingredient in this formula causing cancer.

[@MNveg]

Colin Campbell was incredibly brave for coming out against meat and dairy. We have to remember that back in his day, milk was called Nature's perfect food, butter was considered a food group, and animal protein was called the stuff of civilization itself. Campbell lost his prestigious position at Cornell to people with ties to the dairy industry if I'm not mistaken. I admire this man's incredible conviction and courage.

[@ew5781]

Interesting how this videos always start to lack!

[@Davidfooterman]

The problem with the epidemiology is that there are a other potent factors that parallel the animal protein consumption and are difficult to tease out. On the other hand, the animal studies leave no doubt, especially when the protein intake by the rodents is manipulated sequentially and has the anticipated effects. That's not an attempt at scrubbing data to confirm an association; that is a clear demonstration of causation. There is no doubt about it, as long as there are no other consistent micronutrient changes paralleling the protein change. That goes to bioavailability and tissue distribution of micronutrients etc. and will be quite complicated. But so what? We can either just ignore those variables and call them components of the mechanism by which the animal protein had the carcinogenic effect, or treat them as vicarious effects and look at them separately. The big question is how are these protein effects messaged: are we looking at gene expression by a direct effect of casein etc.; or is it modifying other controllers like vitamin D, or magnesium containing repair enzymes etc. etc.; or are we just causing chromosome breaks like you see with folate deficiency. The latter could be tested by nucleic acid staining of mature red blood cell samples, for example. Or maybe we just wait until the human genome can be quickly assessed on a finger prick of blood and then see what daily steaks from feedlot cattle do to it. The technology is round the corner!

This is all BS. We're Alien to all species. Since he says we're similar to Monkeys, I can prove that 1000% false. Monkeys metabolize veggies/fruits very well - Humans don't. We metabolize meat protein very well, i.e., Milk, Cheese, Eggs, etc. - those are healthy nutrient dense foods for all Humans in moderate consumption. Veggies/Fruits should be taken together with every protein meal *only* to aid in (fiber) enzyme digestion which allow us to stay *mostly* disease free. This guy is deceiving all the naive (and perhaps sadly naive himself) with main intention selling all his numerous books. (nothing wrong with that in itself, but you need to educate yourself before believing in this strict Vegan propaganda.)

The Inuit had some of the shortest life spans in North America, living a full 10 years shorter than other NAs.

Someone has asked about current textbooks being wrong, which demonstrates how little they understand about current textbooks, having never, evidently darkened the doorsteps of a college and learned from real textbooks. Current textbooks are the most trustworthy sources of information we have, in general, with few exceptions having to do with religious, political or similar topics. Dairy safety does not fall into those kinds of categories, being relatively free of controversy, except, of course, that militant vegans want to eliminate the use of animals. Then we get lame comments like this video and those who "buy" such tripe.

[@peterweber3576]

The once-respected Dr. Campbell has done what so many older professors have done, that Darwin wrote that he swore to himself that he would never publish after reaching 60 years of age, since he saw so many professors make utter fools of themselves by publishing some silly tripe about which they developed an overly fond attachment, completely outside of any scientific proof. He should give it a rest. What he says here, for instance, is way out of line, and completely at odds with what all current textbooks on nutrition have to say.

[@froneputt]

Besides, your taste buds will adjust to whatever you eat. I love the food I eat more than I ever loved any food, and I never have to restrict my calories to not gain weight. Nowadays I actually realize that what I eat is real food and animal products are just flesh and secretions that are by no means human foods at all!

I didn't know who Doug Graham was so I looked him up and saw his candida video. My my! I agree with his elimination of grains and sugar--almost everyone improves.

And then that circulating fat coats and clogs insulin and everything in the blood? One wonders if the man ever took a biochem or physiology course (or even read a textbook).

[@MrTrashcan1]

You lumped bread and meat together. So how do you know which one caused the constipation? Or whether it wasn't the combination that caused it? Have you ever eaten ONLY meat and nothing else (drinking water, naturally)? How can you determine the effect of a type or category of food unless you rule out all confounding variables? There are thousands of people eating ONLY meat and enjoying excellent health. Knowing that, how do you reconcile your belief that meat is bad?

[@MrTrashcan1]

What kind of boggles my mind (and I've said this repeatedly) is that there are thousands of people eating only meat, or meat and limited carbs such as non-starch vegetables, and are thriving. Their health, strength and stamina is steadily improving and their blood lipid panels are excellent. There are entire support message boards devoted to them. You can visit them if you are open-minded. Anyone who does not continually question his thinking is not interested in the truth.

I (and IllustratedCream) agree with you about coconut oil and avocados being beneficial. The bad plant oils are the polyunsaturates (corn, sunflower, safflower, soy, etc.) I agree that most people who were eating crap will improve drastically when switching to raw foods.

So maybe it's the excellent bio-availability of nutrients in animal products that's the enemy: once nutrients are extracted, decay occur and make your blood acidic among other bad consequences. It might be possible that some reaction occur in our stomach, which has a higher pH than that of carnivores. In any case TC Campbell is certainly right to go beyond the nutrient-by-nutrient approach. The way it is extracted by our system also certainly plays a role. If you find a good answer, please post.

Again, the digestive tracts you are looking at are from people eating meat AND processed carbs. There is NO WAY to conclude that those organisms found are from meat. You would have to examine tracts from people eating ONLY meat to conclude that, and those studies have never been done. Don't you understand the problem of confounding variables in studies?

[@Jester123ish]

"Dairy doesn't make you fat either. Nor does meat. And if you cut starches out, to low values, you'll find you also don't get fat. Hm fancy that." The meat and dairy inhibit the efficiency of insulin, therefore if you eat starches your body can't burn them off properly for energy. Avoiding starches is wrong. It's the meat and dairy that are not the right food to eat, other than in small amounts, beyond that they lead to atherosclerosis and obesity. In short, over time they will make you sick.

[@Jester123ish]

Animal protein is what we are talking about, and only above about 10% consumption (without including dairy) It's obviously only one factor in causing cancer but it may be the deciding factor that makes you susceptible. It actually makes a lot of sense, the only people who seem to thrive on high meat diets lived on lean wild game with beneficial levels of omega 3 fats. The vast majority of traditional diets around the world are based on starches and vegetables with low meat consumption.

First of all, I always check out other points of view. I am always questioning my own thinking, so I put out my positions and see what kind of responses I get.
