Dr. Fuhrman -- Value of High Fat Foods

The importance of eating nuts and seeds for health, rather than oils and why super low fat eating is not ideal, and more about essential fatty acids.

Olive oil is not good for your heart! (It's just not as bad as other fats most people eat, but it still promotes heart disease.)

meat today sucks! in earlier times cows grazed in pastures now they're eating who nows what... chickens ate seeds, grass and bugs. pigs where eating healthier than most people eat today. i myself am afraid to eat animal products after watching all these films on nutrition.

Eating lunch while watching this, and was pleased to see that my lunch includes three foods from the green collumn: kale, orange, and flax seeds. :D I've been vegan for about 8 months now and my diet is healthier than it's ever been in my entire life. Still have stuff to learn, but I know I'm on the right track now, and the payoffs have been great so far.

@needlewings90 Wrong! Dr. Atkins had clogged arteries. His wife has stated this in numerous interviews. He was obese and unhealthy. His diet killed people and not one single reputable scientific or medical organisation supported it.

Dr. Fuhrman advocates that you can eat a small amount of animal foods and still be healthy, which goes against everything that is taught by other plant-based health experts. I also don't subscribe to Dr. Fuhrmans assertion that potatoes and brown rice and other whole unrefined complex carbs are nutrient deficient. Animal protein are extremely damaging to the human body. The are the cause of most of the diseases we see today. Green vegetables are great, but i'll take potatoes and beans any day.

[needlewings90]

you are incorrect! Atkins had cardiomyopathy, which is not related to cardiovascular disease like high blood pressure, diabetes, and more, but that isnt what killed him. his condition had problems where his heart muscle would do things like increase in size and would disrupt functions. but he died from a concussion after slipping on ice.

@toxiconflict that's why Atkins died of a heart attack, because he ate carbs..

[wholesystems]

How do almonds have 3% of important nutrients compared to kale? That just doesn't add up.

[toxiconflict]

Fat has nothing to do with heart disease. Heart disease is caused by inflammation which is caused by sugar and carb causing insulin.

[adkpinecone]

Fuhrman is a smart man.
