I think the doctor is wrong on 1 and 2.

It should be no red meat, less tree nuts

My brother has chronic stomach problems and a Dr. (foreigner) told him to "eat less red meat". SMH. How about NONE? If you have spent 50+ years eating tons of it, you can eliminate it entirely for 5 years and you will still not be short of iron! That is not how iron works in the body. Same as zinc. The whole idea of over-mineralization is not recognized at all in this loopy society of ours.

When I used to read up on macrobiotic ideas, decades ago, there was mention of "overmineralization" causing certain health problems and that's the first and last I have ever heard of it. I tried to bring up the idea at a pro-meat Weston Price-type nutrition advisor who calls herself The Healthy Home Economist and of course it went right over her head. Indeed, if I remember right, it was greeted with hostility. The WP folks think that you cannot get too much concentrated animal food, just because some seriously weak and deficient persons were helped by eating their diet for a period. 3 servings of meat a day done you good? So - eat like this forever.

Background and objectives: Diets containing red or processed meat are associated with a growing risk of digestive system cancers. Whether a plant-based diet is protective against cancer needs a high level of statistical evidence.
