Guest guest Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 This was quoted in "Eat to Live" and "Fit for Life" books many times. http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2005/09/the-china-study/ Exerpts from the above: "I want to stress that “vegan†isn’t really a diet per se. Vegan just means the absence of all animal products, but you could eat a vegan diet of nothing but junk food like french fries, candy, and soda, or you could eat an all raw, whole foods diet. Both are vegan, but there’s a huge difference between them. Eating vegan by itself isn’t enough to guarantee good health. Some vegans eat a lot of junk, and their health suffers for it. The same goes for vegetarian. Eliminating animal products is a good step, but it’s not the whole she-bang. Incidentally, many people now recommend giving up dairy before giving up meat. Dairy products are among the most unhealthy garbage you could possibly want to put in your body. If you’d like to bypass those unhealthy fad diets found in books with photos of fat doctors on the cover and read some genuine long-term research into what really works across the board (weight control, disease prevention, high energy), read The China Study. It will open your eyes to a much healthier way of eating. " Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Have the book and enjoyed it tremendously. Thanks for clearing up the difference between a healthy vegan diet and an unhealthy one. You can always tell the lifestyle by a vegan or vegetarian who is over weight.
