It all started with an argument. Opening the refrigerator door. I say to my wife, scowling, “Why do we have so much cheese? We have talked about this.” Compared to milk, cheese is less nutrient dense and contains more calories. 1,211 more words

Cardiovascular Corner Low Lipids, Metformin, and Plant-Based Diets
Substituting red meat with high-quality plant protein sources was associated with more favorable changes in cardiovascular risk factors relative to dietary replacements combined in a recent meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) published in Circulation.
Soy Protein Decreases Circulating LDL and Total Cholesterol Concentrations in Adults
ConclusionsSoy protein significantly reduced LDL cholesterol by approximately 3–4% in adults. Our data support the advice given to the general public internationally to increase plant protein intake. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03468127.
Garth Davis MD You Tube Rant on “Why I’m No Longer Vegan” You Tube Videos
LMAO! Especially the part where Dr. Davis tells everyone to not watch You Tube videos in a You Tube video.
Food Neophobia (or hell no I’m not eating that)
Food neophobia, or fear of new foods, may lead to poorer dietary quality, increase the risk factors associated with chronic diseases, and thus increase the risk of developing lifestyle diseases, including cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes.

And yet another reason why people don’t eat more fruits and vegetables.
When should you be tested for vitamin B12?
How does one get deficient in B12? The classic cause, most frequent in older adults, particularly those of northern European ancestry, is pernicious anemia, in which the body is unable to absorb B12 due to lack of the protein needed to allow it to pass through the intestine into the body. It was thought that dietary lack was uncommon because B12 is found in so many foods, but these are all of animal origin, and it is easy for strict vegans to become deficient if they do not take supplements. There may be decreased absorption of B12 after gastric bypass surgery or in the setting of gastrointestinal diseases such as celiac or Crohn’s diseases. Some medications, particularly the diabetes treatment metformin or long-term use of acid-suppression, may cause decreased absorption.

Natural Food Interaction (NFI) Diet and DM2
We spoke about the results, which will be published and constitute an unprecedented 97.2 percent type 2 diabetes remission rate. Meaning that based on current data, anyone suffering from type 2 diabetes has a near 100 percent probability of entering full clinical remission within 20 weeks if they follow the NFI diet.
Diabetes runs in my family. My father had diabetes and my youngest brother also has the disease. I do a lot of reading and research to better understand what I personally need to do to never develop diabetes. The NFI diet sounds amazing. This is just another powerful piece of evidence that supports adopting a mostly plant based diet.
If you’re as excited about this news as I am please share these articles and links. Your diabetic family and friends will thank you.
And if you’re wondering my last fasting blood sugar was <100mg/dl and my A1C last measured in 2015 was 5.8%.
Be Nice to Your Liver – Eat Yogurt
ConclusionsYogurt was better than milk at ameliorating IR and liver fat in obese Chinese women with NAFLD and MetS, possibly by improving lipid metabolism, reducing inflammation, oxidative stress, and LPS, and changing the gut microbiota composition. This trial was registered at www.chictr.org.cn as ChiCTR-IPR-15006801.
I Am an Expert in Weight Loss
How do you think that well-known experts became recognized as experts? They focused on something that was interesting to them; they mastered the literature; and they develop their own experience so that they could make their own contribution. The result is a self-reinforcing process. The more you see, the greater the experience and expertise, the more you see.
I know how to take it off and keep it off.
Two. Hundred. Pounds. I’ve kept the weight off for over forty years.
This makes me an expert.
