If animal products are 'essential to a healthy body', why is it that when people reduce animal consumption and increase plant consumption (especially whole foods like vegetables, some fruits, nuts, seeds, wholegrains and legumes) their health improves and their chronic diseases caused by animal products like CVD, COPD, diabetes and alzheimers all stop progressing, reverse or are cured?

Why is it that the longest living population on earth is the californian adventist vegans, and before that, it was the traditional Okinawan's from Japan who ate over 97% vegan? Here is a breakdown of their diet.

> the peak of health is farmers
Is that why they suffer from heart attacks or strokes? Did you know that heart attacks and strokes actually *aren't* inevitable processes of aging, and that our entire culture believes this lie because it's caused by our diet foremost and lifestyle second? Having heart disease, diabetes or strokes is a choice. A choice that's made if you eat food that isn't wholefood plantbased. This means that animal products and processed carbs are both on the naughty list in terms of what causes the chronic diseases that cause the vast majority of deaths in the US.

I would recommend you at least do nutrition 101 so that you don't fall for shit that random ketogenic/atkin bloggers or bookwriters say.

Where would you get Nutrition 101 for free?

Youtube

You could start with the videos I linked further up and watch more videos on their channels or related videos

I did it at Uni and it's nothing you can't learn with a youtube video tbh, it's a very easy topic

It's more of a social science, from what I've seen.

I'd say about 3-8% of mainstream nutrition taught is incorrect, so don't believe *everything* as if it's a fact, but the basics are mostly solid.

It's inbetween, it utilizes a decent amount of biochemistry, anatomy and physiology so it's not quite a social science.

And good nutritional studies are on par with medical studies due to the study design and the fact that they actually measure real values relating to the body, not just asking the patient questions about how they *feel* like social sciences do.

Yeah.

I just stick to eating once a day,drink only water and milk. And carb up on sunday, the rest of the week I eat eggs, fish, beef, and chicken, sometimes pork. I rarely cook with vegetable oils.

My diet today

Nice, intermittent fasting is pretty good for you

I've watched a few of his videos, he has some unique and imo correct observations but he's also delusional

I know what the other side has to say, I just think they're wrong

I'm not going to lie and say that a WFPB diet is the best diet for every goal, only the goal of longevity and chronic disease prevention

It's much easier to eat 3k+ calories per day on a diet including animal products, if you want to get big

Also I care more about my people than animals, so I don't really advocate for veganism based on ethics

i dont watch his normal videos, but people who come out and speak about how their diet was negetively impacting them is fantastic

give the last 2 videos a watch
