Excellent presentation. These ideas should take more root in the public mind & medical profession if & when extensive, long-term studies are done to prove the beneficial effects for people changing to the type of diet he describes.
@joeywmc The China Study & Forks Over Knives are excellent but much more likely to turn the medical community around (& from them the public) would be a controlled study of Americans done over maybe 20 years or longer where a group of about 2,000 adults of varying ages & gender follow the Esselstyn rules & a control group of the same number does not, with regular testing of cholesterol, vitamin levels, mortality & onset of cardiovascular disease & cancer, etc. Difficult to do, I know.
