Please study books by Dr. Dean Ornish, M.D., John Robbins, and
the following, among others:
"Serum Cholesterol . . . The Effect of Cholesterol in the Diet"
by A. Keyes, METABOLISM, 14:759.
"Alterations in . . . Plasma Cholesterol, Induced by Diets High
in Cholesterol" by R. Mahley, LANCET, 2:807.
"Diet and Stress in Vascular Disease," JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN
MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, Volume 176, Number 9.
"Coronary Heart Disease in Seven Countries," American Heart
Association, Monograph Number 29, CIRCULATION, 41, Supplement 1.
"Epidemiologic Studies of Coronary Heart Disease and Stroke in
Japanese Men . . .," AMERICAN JOURNAL OF EPIDEMIOLOGY, 102:511.
Last year in Hawaii, we started perhaps the nation's only
govenment-sponsored campaign to include more plant-based foods in
our diet.
The taxpayer-funded nutritional education program targets kids
and parents alike in our public school system.
What is more, the Physicians Commitee for Responsible Medicine,
Washington, D.C., has concluded that not only is an animal-based
diet unnecessary, but is actually harmful.
The benefits of the healthy, plant-based food culture contrast
sharply the terrorism the animal-eating habit wages on our body,
others and the environment. That is a future we can all live with.
