Unrefined Plant Food VS The Killer Diseases...

Date: November 21, 2015 02:06PM One of the very first things I show my students is a graph on page 51 in Dr. Joel Fuhrman's book “Eat to Live,” which when written in 2003, was and may still be the most scientifically referenced health and weight loss book ever written as there are more than 1500 medical references. Dr. Fuhrman has reviewed more than two thousand nutritional research papers in preparation for this book and many more in prior years, and there is not much conflicting evidence.
I love this graph because at one end of the graph we have countries, like Hungary and the United States, that are Consuming ~90% of their Calories from Processed Foods and Animal Products or they are only Consuming ~10% of their Calories from Unrefined Plant Foods and they have a 90% chance of dying from Heart Disease and Cancer. In contrast, at the other end of the graph we have countries, like Laos, that are only Consuming ~5% of their Calories from Processed Foods and Animal Products or they are Consuming ~95% of their Calories from Unrefined Plant Food and they only have a 5% chance of dying from Heart Disease and Cancer. Imagine playing Russian Roulette where you have a gun with 10 chambers and 9 of them are full or playing Russian Roulette where you have a gun with 20 chambers and 1 of them are full. 
As everyone can see, this graph is almost completely symmetrical clearly indicating that we can DRASTICALLY reduce our odds from these Killer Diseases simply by Eating a Whole Foods Plant based Diet.  Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
