The Starch Solution - John McDougall MD

This truth is simple and is, therefore, easy to explain. You must eat to live. But the choice of what you eat is yours. There is an individual, specific diet that best supports the health, function, and longevity of each and every animal. The proper diet for human beings is based on starches. The more rice, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and beans you eat, the trimmer and healthier you will be -- and with those same food choices you will help save the Planet Earth too.

This talk is by John McDougall MD from the VegSource Healthy Lifestyle Expo 2010. You can purchase a copy of all 14 fascinating and life-saving talks from the Expo on DVD.

@Elite1987

Have you seen the third and 4th generation of asian americans? They look exactly like the rest of us, fat and decrepit

@Gieszkanne Yes I agree, the western diet is the cause of most degenerative disease. I also agree with a lot of his thoughts on starch. When eaten as part of a whole food diet, starch has much more nutrient density than a loaf of white bread or cheeze whiz.

@Gieszkanne I agree he wants to help people and he believes lectures like this are apart of that, but you cannot deny his agenda is veganism. What I pointed out is his misrepresentation of mummies being "only the king and queen pharaohs." This is again, not true. According to this logic, the serf/slave Egyptians would not have eaten a western diet (lots of animal products) and been therefore healthy? Nope, western disease has been found in all socioeconomic background mummified Egyptians.

@jaredcisme

And for the mummies. The most important point he made is that the mummies with western diseases had a western diet. You lost the confirming point just because you want him proofed wrong. Maybe he revealed not quite exact but you still dont know if the mummies on which he refers where kings etc.

@jaredcisme

It was at 24:58. His agenda is to help and cure people with the right diet. And he is obviously and fortunately successful with it. Its just historical every where the same in all cultures. There where no factory farming and the farmers where slaves or serfs. The few animals they breed where for the kings and landlords. They hardly ate meat.

@Gieszkanne Dr. McDougall says at 25:30 "They are mummies. Who do you think got to be a mummy? Y'know, the pharaohs and the kings and the queens." This means he attributes those who ate a regal diet to be unhealthy. Mummies have been found with almost every degenerative disease known today in ALL types of mummies. He is attempting to revise history to fit his agenda.

@jaredcisme

How do you know that the mummies he was talking about were not "high society"!

[RORYKJAMES]

Misguided info people.

[jaredcisme]

@JimITheBanDit Yes I agree..I was illustrating his fallacy. His claim is the rich Egyptians ate animals, got diseases, and died. Then we found their mummies. This is a revisionist view of history. There are plenty of mummies of average workers (who obviously would not have eaten as "high on the hog" as the kings) riddled with diseases, including cancer.
