Advantages of a Whole-Food, Plant-Based Diet

Many popular books, magazines and websites claim that we have bee following expert medical advice since the 1970s and we are unhealthier than ever. They declare that the idea that saturated fats and cholesterol cause heart disease is the greatest scientific deception of our times and that a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet is essential for our well-being.

These views have become accepted as the truth. Instead of informing our society about healthy dietary choices, they are causing widespread harm.
These views are based on myths, fabrications and a distortion of facts.

However, standard medical advice has not been helpful in reducing the rising prevalence of obesity, diabetes and autoimmune diseases. This advice often contains guidance such as “everything in moderation” and that we need to be “practical” and “flexible”. Advice that is not very constructive.

Fortunately, the diets that are optimal for our health are also the best for the environment and for the animals that we share the earth with.
