The #1 New York Times bestseller answers: What if one simple
change could save you from heart disease, diabetes, and cancer?
For decades, that question has fascinated a small circle of impassioned
doctors and researchers--and now, their life-changing research is making
headlines in the hit documentary Forks Over Knives. Their answer? Eat
a whole-foods, plant-based diet--it could save your life.
It may overturn most of the diet advice you've heard--but the experts
behind Forks Over Knives aren't afraid to make waves. In his book
Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn explained
that eating meat, dairy, and oils injures the lining of our blood
vessels, causing heart disease, heart attack, or stroke. In The China
Study, Dr. Colin Campbell revealed how cancer and other diseases
skyrocket when eating meat and dairy is the norm--and plummet when a
traditional plant-based diet persists. And more and more experts are
adding their voices to the cause: There is nothing else you can do for
your health that can match the benefits of a plant-based diet.
Now, as Forks Over Knives is introducing more people than ever before
to the plant-based way to health, this accessible guide provides the
information you need to adopt and maintain a plant-based diet. Features
include:
- Insights from the luminaries behind the film--Dr. Neal Barnard,
Dr. John McDougall, The Engine 2 Diet author Rip Esselstyn, and many
others
