New DVD: Dr. McDougall tells lifesaving truths about protein,

soy, and fish

Chapter 1: When Friends Ask: Where Do You Get Your Protein?

Chapter 2: Soy Is Food, Not A Poison or A Miracle Drug

Chapter 3: Fish Is Not Health Food

Misinformation about the nutritional qualities of common foods

leads people to make incorrect choices and the consequences are as

serious as obesity, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and premature

death.

In this series Dr. McDougall challenges commonly held nutrition

beliefs, such as:

Plants Are Incomplete Proteins. Almost every dietitian, doctor,

and respected organization teaches animal foods are necessary in order

to get sufficient amino acids from proteins. They are wrong, and the

science says so. Plant foods provide complete nutrition long before

they reach the dinner table. Informed consumers will avoid all that

fat, cholesterol, and contamination mixed up with animal protein by

choosing delicious dishes made from “complete protein” foods like

potatoes, rice, and/or beans.

Soy Makes People Sick. Soy foods are at the center of one of the

most intense controversies in nutrition; some people say they are

medicines and some say poisons. They can be both, but as traditional

foods, like tofu and soy milk, they are delicious additions to a

healthy meal plan. However, fake meats, synthetic estrogens, and

baby formulas made from soybeans are toxic.

Fish Is Good for the Heart. The belief that fish is the most

important food for a healthy heart has led to the destruction of our

oceans. Plants provide the safer, cleaner, environmentally

sensitive, and original source of omega-3 fats. The real tragedy is

this slaughter of sea life has been senseless because consuming fish

does the body much more harm than good.
