Medical studies show the healthiest diet by far is plant-based.

Regarding the recent article, “The rub on red meat,” if cardiologist Dr. Ralph Vicari implores his patients not to consume any unhealthy saturated fats, why should anyone consume these foods, which are most likely the cause of coronary problems?

It is no mystery the countries that consume the highest amounts of meat and dairy products also lead the world in degenerative disease, heart disease, cancer and diabetes. 

Doctors John McDougall and Dean Ornish have reversed advanced heart disease in their patients using a plant-based diet as a foundation of their program.

Medical studies show the healthiest diet by far is plant-based. 

But the fast-food and the beef and dairy councils would have us think otherwise, and confuse the issue with their misleading ad campaigns.


Fish is not a healthy alternative, because there is no comprehensive inspection process for seafood. Most fish contains mercury and other toxins. 

Farm-raised fish is no better, because it is loaded with antibiotics to keep disease under control in overcrowded tanks.

One can delude themselves into believing animal products are a necessary part of a healthy diet, but your body does not lie, and keeps score of what you put into it.

The hardening of the arteries in America’s youth of which Vicari speaks is directly related to consuming meat and dairy products.
