“This means that individuals can achieve their genetic potential for growth and body size by consuming a plant-based diet.”

I strongly believe that virtually all Type 2 diabetes cases could be prevented.

So many of us seem to want a scapegoat. We do not want to hear that our favorite foods are a problem simply because of their nutritional content.

Genetics only determines about 2-3% of the total cancer risk.

Everything in food works together to create health or disease. The more we think that a single chemical characterizes a whole food, the more we stray into idiocy.

The more you substitute plant foods for animal foods the healthier you are likely to be. I now consider an all plant based diet the ideal diet for optimal health and to reduce disease risk.

Quite simply, you can maximize health for diseases across the board with one simple diet.

This is the story of how food can change our lives. I have spent my career in research and teaching unraveling the complex mystery of why health eludes some and embraces others, and I now know that food primarily determines the outcome.

“The same diet that is good for the prevention of cancer is also good for the prevention of heart disease, as well as obesity, diabetes, cataracts, macular degeneration, Alzheimer’s, cognitive dysfunction, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis and other diseases.”

In fact, dietary protein proved to be so powerful in its effect that we could turn on and turn off cancer growth simply by changing the level consumed.
