This is the best interview with Dr. Campbell I have seen. Please keep sharing this information. The research and facts of whole plant foods and the health benefits and nutritional aspect of this way of eating and living allows individuals to take responsibility for their health. This is the future. This is taking an important step toward saving our planet.
Healthytarian Hi I saw this video, and I was so educated on nutrition I'm really sick I have vasculitis a slow thyroid a leaky heart valve my legs have ulcers on the ankles and a dr. wants to put a pick line in my arm to give me antibiotics for 3monthsI ! I'm so scared and no one can tell me how this happened oh I even lost my hairI live in New York can you please help me Thank you Joann
Hi Joann, I offer various health and nutrition consults, however once many symptoms or conditions are progressed, as in your case, I can only recommend you to visit and start a proper holistic treatment program with a licensed naturopathic or holistic doctor. You can start by researching naturopaths in your local area. Another option is to call and learn about your options at high quality healing centers like: 1. Dr. Morse's: www.drmorsesherbalhealthclub.com/ or 2. Dr. Pam Popper's: wellnessforumhealth.com/
He is such a scientific genius with integrity to boot! I'm so grateful he has been my teacher, and that his wife is helping him to be 'out there' for the world.
I made these changes less than a year ago. I have healed my prediabetes and now am fighting to rid my body of precancer cells my doctor found in my uterus. I am thankful for all the wfpd pioneers for all their work.
Dr. T. Colin Campbell is a personal hero of mine, and taught me a lot, and with this information, I was able to change the trajectory of my own health, and life. I have seen a lot of interviews featuring Dr. Campbell, but this is the best one, by far. Unbelievable great job. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your feedback. Perhaps I will connect with Dr. Esselstyn at some point, as his work is so fantastic and in great alignment with all this too.
Awesome interview Evita! I've read The China Study & am looking forward to reading his other books. I'd love for you to interview Dr. Joel Fuhrman & Dr. Michael Greger...two experts in evidence based nutrition. Thanks!
Thank you so much for the feedback! I've had Dr. Greger on the channel as a guest in the past, which you can see here (ua-cam.com/video/d5zslK2v_pw/v-deo.html), and as much as I was hoping to have Dr. Fuhrman too, his support staff did not follow through with a booking for him.
Thank you very much for this great interview. I want to complement you,Healthytarian, for the style of your interview in addition to the content. Thanks.
Our non-profit organization has just submitted a grant to help young adults who have gotten DUI's and after re-reading the best book I know on how to cure yourself of alcoholism, I was struck how much the hypoglycemic symptoms mirrored the ones of an alcoholic. Dr. Campbell's Plant Based Nutrition science shows how the foods that are addictive actually cause hypoglycemic symptoms. Because I have combined my education and training with oriental and native American understandings, one of the major reasons I have chosen a whole plant strong life is that I don't want the feelings and negative emotions of the creatures like pigs, chickens, and cows. Who would want to be depressed like a cow whose baby has just been stolen from her after birth? Depression is one of the major factors in recovering alcoholics: the less they drink to hide their depression, the more depressed, and then suicidal, they become. I don't want those feelings causing me to have outbursts that frighten my loved ones and/or estrange my friends. This esoteric reason to be a plant based proponent is not talked about in scientific circles very much, but we can't separate our needs. This would deny science and the 'whole\ concept. We must be a whole person and not deny our total range of emotions. With no creature's emotions being stored in our body fat anymore, we can achieve a place of peace and joy, that is unreachable when we are involved eating foods that have suffered and are grieving or are enraged. If the listeners wonder where their negative feelings/emotions are coming from, look to your plate and your glass! Dr. Flora
So excellent to hear! Thank you so much Dr. Flora. This is something that is a huge part of this all and something I resonate with very much myself. Thank you for bringing more awareness to this topic, as it is indeed detrimental to our mental and emotional health, not just our physical.
He’s a real hero for true nutrition and health wholistic lifestyle choices. He’s changed my lifestyle and I pray for wonderful things for him and all his work!
I have autoimmune diseases (allergies and Hashimoto's) and I always get a bad reaction in my body (especially in my skin and digestion) when I eat the smallest amounts of animal foods or even when I eat too much protein from legumes or nuts. What makes me sad or angry is that the science was already there when I was a child suffering from eczema and allergies but no one have ever thought to first eliminate the animal foods before diagnosing me with different fruit allergies and forcing me to eat meat and dairy instead :(
That is really unfortunate to hear, and one of the main reasons why I am so passionate to share this info and teach about these topics. As you pointed out, the info is out there, but unfortunately hard to find (still) for most people, as it is not shared around freely in the mainstream science, medical or nutrition fields. Thank you so much for sharing your comment and experience, and I hope you are doing better now that you know how to best work with your food.
I admire the way you talk about Holism and life style changes. Its so powerfull, so inspirational and so filled with a deep understanding of life. It must spread into the broader cultures and maybe one way would be, if when restaurants and “fastfood” would Begin to make this available “on the run” - read more on www.nutritionstudies.org and read the book Whole- rethinking the science of nutrition
Great interview with a truly Great American Nutritional Scientist who dares to speak the truth!!! T. Colin Campbell Plant-Based Nutrition graduate. His intelligence and honesty against the government and industry is amazing! Hero!
What an eye opener....I need to learn more on how to eat whole plant based....does this mean all animal proteins are eliminated from your diet meaning poultry? Thank you
Hi Sherri, yes, this includes all animal foods and thus proteins: all meats (red and white, fish and seafood), eggs and dairy. That is of course for those who are wanting the top benefits and protection from their diet. The way I help people understand the problem with animal proteins in the simplest way is this: think of what happens to people when they have an organ or tissue transplant. They have to be put on major immune-suppressing drugs because there is a high risk of the body rejecting the foreign tissue in a serious way, as there are "foreign animal proteins" present, which the body begins to attack. Well, when we eat the flesh and secretions of other animals, they contain foreign animal proteins that our body will always react to, just slowly over time....which we regard today as inflammation, acidity, and ultimately "chronic disease". With plant proteins it is different, because we are dealing with quite different biochemistry, from plants (very different from us) than animals (very similar to us). However, here too, if people obsess about high protein plant diets, it still is not good for the body, which thrives on much lower protein amounts than we realize. If this is all new for you, there are so many amazing places to start, or resources for further help and understanding. It all depends what you would most like or are ready for. Here are a few suggestions: 1. The Healthytarian plant-protein infographic, which quickly summarizes optimal human protein needs and plant amounts: www.healthytarian.com/post/protein-in-plant-foods 2. My optimal health food guide: www.evitaochel.com/post/optimal-health-food-guide (free download) 3. Documentaries like: Forks Over Knives, Plant Pure Nation, Cowspiracy, Food Choices (all on Netflix) 4. The Forks Over Knives website, some great articles there, recipes, and more: www.forksoverknives.com/ 5. Numerous other doctors, who are experts in nutrition (which is normally rare), and their work, like Dr. Michael Greger, Dr. John McDougall, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, etc. 6. I can also recommend cookbooks or other nutrition books if that is of interest. And I also have a whole-food, plant-based video course available (most easily found on my website). Let me know anytime if I can be of any further help :)
Wonderful interview. Extremely relevant in my, possibly life saving, exploration of nutrition and my relationship not just with food, but life. The vast majority of existing comments sum up how I feel about this guy. A true legend. You've excelled again Evita.
I started going whole food, plant based after reading Dr. Campbell's The China Study. I've been on this diet for almost two months now. It has made a big difference in my life! My constipation is gone, so is my sugar crashes. The stubborn fat around my belly is getting smaller too. I feel more energetic and happier. I recommend it to everyone.
This is all so excellent to hear, Lola. I am so happy that you are experiencing the healing effects of whole plant foods for yourself, and in turn, helping your health so much. Best wishes on your continued healing journey!
A very good interview with clear questions and answers with this inspiring knowledge - and first thing to leave out is diery ....and see what happens. The higher the consumption of diery the higher the percentage of osteoporosis The book Whole - rethinking the science of nutrition --- Plant Based eating - best way to prevent and heal disease - “Let food be Thy Medicine and Medicine be Thy food Hippocrates “
@@Healthytarian What a delightful surprise to recieve a direct response. The comprehensive research undertaken by this gentleman was invaluable when I switched to a vegan diet, and it was a pleasure to see him interviewed here. You have a lovely manner and were prepared with intelligent questions. Warm regards and keep up your good work. Chris
You are very welcome, Chris, and thank you for sharing about your personal experience. I am not much here on UA-cam these days, so pardon my late reply please, but whenever I am, I aim to read and reply to all who visit this channel. All the best :)
I love your page and everything that you share on there with us I would like to get some recipes I am trying to lose weight need to shed about 50 pounds the but I need to get some good recipes
Thank you so much for your feedback. By going with a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle that is based on vegetables, fruits, beans and real grains, you will enjoy weight loss benefits and so many other physical, mental and emotional benefits. For some whole-food, plant-based recipes I recommend the following: 1. My Healthytarian video recipes: www.healthytarian.com/page/meals 2. My Evolving Wellness written recipes: www.evolvingwellness.com/page/recipes 3. Forks Over Knives recipes (and some great motivational/inspirational stories): www.forksoverknives.com/recipes/ 4. Dreena Burton's recipes: plantpoweredkitchen.com/recipe-page/ Enjoy!
This is a great interview, thanks. I'm thankful to have the set of interviews you produced at this time in your life and hope your new endeavors are successful and make you happy. 😊👍
Glad you enjoyed it, Joe. And thank you for your nice comment. Yes, I am where I need to be at this time in my life, but who knows, maybe one day I will return to teach via youtube videos again. Best wishes to you!
But if I eat a whole food wheat bread I get so swollen, my genes cannot tolerate wheat, I have a leaky gut and hashimotos thyroiditis, it's a kiss of death to eat whole wheat or any kind of wheat for me. I've been tested genetically for gluten, I don't have celiac, I just can't tolerate gluten, my genes are native mesoamerican and native american and that's why. We didn't have wheat in the new world, our genes have not adapted to wheat and alot of people don't know that and suffer while eating wheat.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Please note that the majority (over 95%) of all "whole wheat bread" that is available today is unhealthy and inflammatory for many other and bigger reasons than just the wheat. The true "wheat" test is to get organic wheat berries, soak them, cook them, and then see how your body responds. Best wishes!
Art, thank you so much for your kind feedback and comments. With regards to makeup, I wear only what you see on top of my eyes, meaning minimal shadow, liner and mascara (from natural sources). Nothing else elsewhere on my face. I take a very holistic and natural approach to my life and live what I teach, where health and healthy skin, hair and overall wellbeing is created from the inside out. And on the topic of this video, this is where the right food - whole, plant food - does wonders! p.s. love your avatar :)
I considered the philosophy of Drs. Campbell and Mcdougall carefully and at the very least, there is no harm to health in avoiding certain consumed products including processed foods and what Mcdougall calls isolated, concentrated nutrients, except for limited examples such as small amounts of B12. It is safe to assume that processed, isolated chemicals either added to foods or taken in pill forms clearly show examples of harm and I agree with Dr. Campbell that a conclusion can be drawn to avoid where is practical, which is most cases. Examples of impracticality to some people include the higher cost of organic foods to avoid chemical pesticides and herbicides. I have respect for the people who choose to make other choices in their life.
I have a question that feels very on top here about protein, the idea that we need lets say 50grams of protein a day is surely predicated on a certain about of activity. Does that mean if you do very intense physical work or persue something like bodybuilding this number needs to be higher for recovery and muscle development? or is that increase protein needed for recovery still going to lead to the same problems regardless of if your body needs it or not. Basically what im asking is if you use the protein is it still contributing to these problems?
If too much protein is being consumed it is still too much protein to the body. Protein is not used like calories, where it is "burned" or used with more physical activity. Protein from food, also, must be processed FIRST before it is used. This is a large part of where the health risks come from. Protein is used along with other nutrients, as your body needs it and how it deems it most appropriate. And loading up on protein is not a wise thing to do, as it is not stored like "calories" or "energy" in the body. Extra protein, like any other extra nutrient will eventually be converted into fat as well, if one is eating too many calories of any kind for their needs. For more information about this topic, please refer to the following resources about protein and muscle building or physical activity where I explain how to balance this in a healthy manner: 1. www.evolvingwellness.com/post/how-much-protein-is-needed-for-different-activity-levels-on-a-plant-based-diet 2. www.evolvingwellness.com/post/is-a-plant-based-diet-good-for-athletes-and-bodybuilders 3. www.healthytarian.com/post/protein-in-plant-foods
@@Healthytarian this is very interesting and I appreciate the response. I've been eating between 150-180 grams of protein for 8-9 years at this point and going the gym alot. There's this insane idea in the gym community that no matter how big you get it doesn't matter as long as it's muscle 😂 over the last few years I've started to see just how radical it is. I have decided to dial my meat consumption down radically as of late but I did want to ask where wholegrain breads and whole grain pastas stand in regards to healthy eating. I've found sources of bread with only 4 ingredients and pasta with just wheat and I wondered if this refinement of grain is still unhealthy even though it has the same fibre content as unground wheat
@@lulusehnihpi8901 You are very welcome. Things such as whole breads with minimal ingredients and pure whole grain pastas are a controversial topic themselves due to everybody's dietary preferences and strong ideas these days. For some people, they are a wholesome and healthy part of their diet, while others shun all processed grains as part of whole food, plant-based eating or many other diets. It all depends on the person's nutritional and health understanding and their personal health priorities and dietary preferences. In such cases, it is best to pay attention to your body and how it responds when you eat these items, as well as examine the overall quality of your diet. If someone is basing their diet on such items, that is not a good idea. But if such items are part of a whole food, plant-based diet that is high in fruits and vegetables and beans/legumes, they may be a suitable addition.
OMG!!!!!! WOW!! No I know why my sister wet the bed until age 13, and why I, as a child, had infection after infection, and runny nose, on meds all the time for fluid behind the ears (remember that lovely childhood thing), 2 surgeries, tonsils and adnoids out and tubes to dran fluid from behind the ear drum, stomach problems, etc. etc. I was soooo sick as a child but the doc kept getting paid (daddy had good insurance, oh and BTW he died of CHF at age 58, in 1983) and kept giving me meds that would only make me thirsty (I drank more milk - Oy vey), and put me to sleep. Many nights no dinner, cause I was not awake enough to eat with the fam. I was sooo skinny. I was also a collicky baby - puking all the time, and crying. I still am not a good sleeper, but thank G-d I did live to tell my story of CHF heart disease reversal and becoming vegan. I also thank G-d I did not get type 2 diabetes. I have been cutting out poision foods (thank G-d, never drank soda - mother wouldn't buy it), and getting educated for 8 years now. I also seeee soooooo many young women with MS, Lupis, Crones, fiber myalga (sorry if I spell these wrong), and they are all big and fat , and their children are fat!!!!! I cry out to the L-rd for them to get this info, and I try to tell them what to do - GO VEGAN, but no one listens to me - I am poor, old, and not a doctor!!!!!!!! The L-rd gave and sent this wisdom to me of healing (been healing 8 years to reverse my CHF), and sent your info to me. I am happy healthy, and thank the L-rd everyday for your teachings doctor and all the other doctors ( Drs. Esselstyn, Campbell, Furhman, Ornish, Bernard, Mills, Goldhammer, Popper, the list is long, and I am equally as long on Thanks!) I have studied. G-d bless you. Pamela Prizant-Brooks 06-12-18
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience Pamela and your enthusiastic feedback. It is so great to hear you are taking your health back and trying to inspire others in the process too. Best wishes for your continued health and wellbeing!
Thank you Dr. Campbell. Your words in the Mike Anderson video helped to direct my path to a healthier alternative for my life. Thanks to you also for your demonstrating that we can triumph in spite of the road blocks in the way. All the best to you as you embark on a career that needs as many as it can get. You must and will succeed in this imperative! Latter 2 lines addressed to Evite. OOPS!
Indian food is highly plant-based with the numerous legumes and vegetables used in cooking. As long as you have access to fruits, vegetables, legumes, and grains, you can eat a whole food, plant-based diet. Explore Dr. T. Colin Campbell's foundation website for more info and ideas around this topic: nutritionstudies.org/
Whole foods as God created it. Only when we as sinners want to play god with our plants and animals by changing their unique DNA makeup, have we created monstrously debilitating foods.
I used to eat anything and everything with no problem, but gradually over the last 5 years I have become highly allergic to wheat. I can not eat bread, pasta, cookies, crackers or anything made from wheat. I can tolerate organic oats and all raw or cooked fruits and vegetables but I would rather have a piece of meat, otherwise I feel like I'm starving.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Terri. Indeed, modern wheat is doused with numerous harmful pesticides, including glyphosate, that has destructive actions on our intestines and digestive system, as well as our immune system. So it is wise in many cases to minimize it or avoid it accordingly. However, there are so many wholesome and satisfying whole plant foods to enjoy and rely on without ever needing to turn to meat, and subjecting one's body and health to the numerous risks that come with it. Just in the grain group alone, there are numerous other grains you can choose instead of wheat, like quinoa, buckwheat, sorghum, teff, amaranth, brown rice, etc. And then, there are so many starchy vegetables that are so filling, including the many types of yams and squashes. And satiety also comes from properly balanced meals that include some healthy fats from nuts, seeds, or avocados. So if you are feeling limited with your food choices, be sure to explore the amazing variety that the plant kingdom offers. It sounds like you would benefit from a plant-based nutritionist too, to help you know the amazing potential of plant foods and the infinite combinations of meals possible if you are interested in supporting your health in the best of ways. You can find such support on Plant-based docs here: www.plantbaseddoctors.org/ Best wishes!
Hi Jane. That is great to hear. When it comes to soy milk, while it is safe for both kids and adults, you don't need any of it at all as part of a WFPB diet. Please elaborate if you'd like why you focused on them drinking soy milk. Also, if you need support starting, I offer a complete video course about it all here: www.udemy.com/whole-food-plant-based-diet/?couponCode=CARDPROMO
This way of eating sounds really healthy, but has anyone done a study on how it affects the teeth and bones? I would love to eat this way, but can't afford any more dental pain.
Jodi, there is actually a lot of "natural" and "scientific" evidence of how much this way of eating actually helps to protect the teeth and bones. For starters, diets high in animal foods and/or processed and refined foods are acidifying, which is one of the fastest ways to destroy the quality and strength of our bones. A whole-food, plant-based diet is alkalizing, which is highly protective to all parts of the body, organs, and tissues, especially the bones. When we look at nature, (i,e. the natural world) animals do not get cavities like us because they eat the "right diet" for them. Each animal species has its own foundational diet. Whenever animals eat the most natural diet for them, their bodies and health function quite optimally. Humans have gotten away from the right diet for them, in an effort to survive at first, and in recent decades and centuries due to industrialization, traditions, cultural pressures, ignorance, etc. The right and best diet for us, as human animals, is very similar to that of our closest animal relatives, chimpanzees, which is over 95% whole, plant foods. With regards to teeth alone, the processed food in our society, especially all of the refined grain and sugar foods, and drinks, are the top reason for poor human dental health. When we remove these foods, and start healing the body with the optimal nutrition that is found in whole plant foods, we start to heal our body and offer it the best healing and prevention. For more information about the science behind strong teeth, bones and various foods, I invite you to explore the work of Dr. Michael Greger, who dedicates his entire work to explaining to people all of the science of optimal nutrition: nutritionfacts.org/
A whole food plant based diet is the most powerful healing diet to help reverse cancer, but to what degree the cancer can be healed or reversed will depend on other factors beyond diet, mainly mental and emotional healing, as well as the type and state of the cancer, how supportive and healing your environment is, etc. For a more holistic approach to understanding how cancer can be healed, I recommend this film: The Cure Is... (thecureismovie.com/)
This is the best interview with Dr. Campbell I have seen. Please keep sharing this information.

This is the future. This is taking an important step toward saving our planet.

Hi Joann, I offer various health and nutrition consults, however once many symptoms or conditions are progressed, as in your case, I can only recommend you to visit and start a proper holistic treatment program with a licensed naturopathic or holistic doctor.

What an eye opener....I need to learn more on how to eat whole plant based....does this mean all animal proteins are eliminated from your diet meaning poultry? Thank you
Hi Sherri, yes, this includes all animal foods and thus proteins: all meats (red and white, fish and seafood), eggs and dairy. That is of course for those who are wanting the top benefits and protection from their diet. The way I help people understand the problem with animal proteins in the simplest way is this: think of what happens to people when they have an organ or tissue transplant. They have to be put on major immune-suppressing drugs because there is a high risk of the body rejecting the foreign tissue in a serious way, as there are "foreign animal proteins" present, which the body begins to attack. Well, when we eat the flesh and secretions of other animals, they contain foreign animal proteins that our body will always react to, just slowly over time....which we regard today as inflammation, acidity, and ultimately "chronic disease". With plant proteins it is different, because we are dealing with quite different biochemistry, from plants (very different from us) than animals (very similar to us). However, here too, if people obsess about high protein plant diets, it still is not good for the body, which thrives on much lower protein amounts than we realize.
If this is all new for you, there are so many amazing places to start, or resources for further help and understanding. It all depends what you would most like or are ready for. Here are a few suggestions:
1. The Healthytarian plant-protein infographic, which quickly summarizes optimal human protein needs and plant amounts: www.healthytarian.com/post/protein-in-plant-foods
2. My optimal health food guide: www.evitaochel.com/post/optimal-health-food-guide (free download)
3. Documentaries like: Forks Over Knives, Plant Pure Nation, Cowspiracy, Food Choices (all on Netflix)
4. The Forks Over Knives website, some great articles there, recipes, and more: www.forksoverknives.com/
5. Numerous other doctors, who are experts in nutrition (which is normally rare), and their work, like Dr. Michael Greger, Dr. John McDougall, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, etc.
6. I can also recommend cookbooks or other nutrition books if that is of interest. And I also have a whole-food, plant-based video course available (most easily found on my website).
Let me know anytime if I can be of any further help :)
Healthytarian so helpful....I thank you and will be looking further into eating a whole food plant diet. Merry Christmas
You are most welcome Sherri and best wishes to you as well. Evita.
Great interview!
Thank you for your comment and feedback!
Many vegans succumb to consuming processed plant-foods and refined foods. That should not be the case. Thanks to Dr. Campbell for this!
Thank you for watching and sharing your comments.
Wonderful interview. Extremely relevant in my, possibly life saving, exploration of nutrition and my relationship not just with food, but life. The vast majority of existing comments sum up how I feel about this guy. A true legend. You've excelled again Evita.
Thank you so much :) Best wishes to you!
I started going whole food, plant based after reading Dr. Campbell's The China Study. I've been on this diet for almost two months now. It has made a big difference in my life! My constipation is gone, so is my sugar crashes. The stubborn fat around my belly is getting smaller too. I feel more energetic and happier. I recommend it to everyone.
This is all so excellent to hear, Lola. I am so happy that you are experiencing the healing effects of whole plant foods for yourself, and in turn, helping your health so much. Best wishes on your continued healing journey!
A very good interview with clear questions and answers with this inspiring knowledge - and first thing to leave out is diery ....and see what happens. The higher the consumption of diery the higher the percentage of osteoporosis

But if I eat a whole food wheat bread I get so swollen, my genes cannot tolerate wheat, I have a leaky gut and hashimotos thyroiditis, it's a kiss of death to eat whole wheat or any kind of wheat for me. I've been tested genetically for gluten, I don't have celiac, I just can't tolerate gluten, my genes are native mesoamerican and native american and that's why. We didn't have wheat in the new world, our genes have not adapted to wheat and alot of people don't know that and suffer while eating wheat.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Please note that the majority (over 95%) of all "whole wheat bread" that is available today is unhealthy and inflammatory for many other and bigger reasons than just the wheat. The true "wheat" test is to get organic wheat berries, soak them, cook them, and then see how your body responds. Best wishes!
Evita you look like an angel, you have a very pure, sweet look about you. Don't know how much make up you had on, but your complexion is beautiful.
Art, thank you so much for your kind feedback and comments. With regards to makeup, I wear only what you see on top of my eyes, meaning minimal shadow, liner and mascara (from natural sources). Nothing else elsewhere on my face. I take a very holistic and natural approach to my life and live what I teach, where health and healthy skin, hair and overall wellbeing is created from the inside out. And on the topic of this video, this is where the right food - whole, plant food - does wonders!
p.s. love your avatar :)
@marilyn devon Thank you, Marilyn.
I considered the philosophy of Drs. Campbell and Mcdougall carefully and at the very least, there is no harm to health in avoiding certain consumed products including processed foods and what Mcdougall calls isolated, concentrated nutrients, except for limited examples such as small amounts of B12.
It is safe to assume that processed, isolated chemicals either added to foods or taken in pill forms clearly show examples of harm and I agree with Dr. Campbell that a conclusion can be drawn to avoid where is practical, which is most cases. Examples of impracticality to some people include the higher cost of organic foods to avoid chemical pesticides and herbicides.
I have respect for the people who choose to make other choices in their life.
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts on this topic, Joe.
I have a question that feels very on top here about protein, the idea that we need lets say 50grams of protein a day is surely predicated on a certain about of activity. Does that mean if you do very intense physical work or persue something like bodybuilding this number needs to be higher for recovery and muscle development? or is that increase protein needed for recovery still going to lead to the same problems regardless of if your body needs it or not. Basically what im asking is if you use the protein is it still contributing to these problems?
If too much protein is being consumed it is still too much protein to the body. Protein is not used like calories, where it is "burned" or used with more physical activity. Protein from food, also, must be processed FIRST before it is used. This is a large part of where the health risks come from. Protein is used along with other nutrients, as your body needs it and how it deems it most appropriate. And loading up on protein is not a wise thing to do, as it is not stored like "calories" or "energy" in the body. Extra protein, like any other extra nutrient will eventually be converted into fat as well, if one is eating too many calories of any kind for their needs.
For more information about this topic, please refer to the following resources about protein and muscle building or physical activity where I explain how to balance this in a healthy manner:
1. www.evolvingwellness.com/post/how-much-protein-is-needed-for-different-activity-levels-on-a-plant-based-diet
2. www.evolvingwellness.com/post/is-a-plant-based-diet-good-for-athletes-and-bodybuilders
3. www.healthytarian.com/post/protein-in-plant-foods
@@Healthytarian this is very interesting and I appreciate the response. I've been eating between 150-180 grams of protein for 8-9 years at this point and going the gym alot. There's this insane idea in the gym community that no matter how big you get it doesn't matter as long as it's muscle 😂 over the last few years I've started to see just how radical it is. I have decided to dial my meat consumption down radically as of late but I did want to ask where wholegrain breads and whole grain pastas stand in regards to healthy eating. I've found sources of bread with only 4 ingredients and pasta with just wheat and I wondered if this refinement of grain is still unhealthy even though it has the same fibre content as unground wheat
@@lulusehnihpi8901 You are very welcome. Things such as whole breads with minimal ingredients and pure whole grain pastas are a controversial topic themselves due to everybody's dietary preferences and strong ideas these days. For some people, they are a wholesome and healthy part of their diet, while others shun all processed grains as part of whole food, plant-based eating or many other diets. It all depends on the person's nutritional and health understanding and their personal health priorities and dietary preferences.
In such cases, it is best to pay attention to your body and how it responds when you eat these items, as well as examine the overall quality of your diet. If someone is basing their diet on such items, that is not a good idea. But if such items are part of a whole food, plant-based diet that is high in fruits and vegetables and beans/legumes, they may be a suitable addition.
OMG!!!!!! WOW!! No I know why my sister wet the bed until age 13, and why I, as a child, had infection after infection, and runny nose, on meds all the time for fluid behind the ears (remember that lovely childhood thing), 2 surgeries, tonsils and adnoids out and tubes to dran fluid from behind the ear drum, stomach problems, etc. etc. I was soooo sick as a child but the doc kept getting paid (daddy had good insurance, oh and BTW he died of CHF at age 58, in 1983) and kept giving me meds that would only make me thirsty (I drank more milk - Oy vey), and put me to sleep. Many nights no dinner, cause I was not awake enough to eat with the fam. I was sooo skinny. I was also a collicky baby - puking all the time, and crying. I still am not a good sleeper, but thank G-d I did live to tell my story of CHF heart disease reversal and becoming vegan. I also thank G-d I did not get type 2 diabetes. I have been cutting out poision foods (thank G-d, never drank soda - mother wouldn't buy it), and getting educated for 8 years now. I also seeee soooooo many young women with MS, Lupis, Crones, fiber myalga (sorry if I spell these wrong), and they are all big and fat , and their children are fat!!!!! I cry out to the L-rd for them to get this info, and I try to tell them what to do - GO VEGAN, but no one listens to me - I am poor, old, and not a doctor!!!!!!!! The L-rd gave and sent this wisdom to me of healing (been healing 8 years to reverse my CHF), and sent your info to me. I am happy healthy, and thank the L-rd everyday for your teachings doctor and all the other doctors ( Drs. Esselstyn, Campbell, Furhman, Ornish, Bernard, Mills, Goldhammer, Popper, the list is long, and I am equally as long on Thanks!) I have studied. G-d bless you. Pamela Prizant-Brooks 06-12-18
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience Pamela and your enthusiastic feedback. It is so great to hear you are taking your health back and trying to inspire others in the process too. Best wishes for your continued health and wellbeing!
Thank you Dr. Campbell. Your words in the Mike Anderson video helped to direct my path to a healthier alternative for my life. Thanks to you also for your demonstrating that we can triumph in spite of the road blocks in the way. All the best to you as you embark on a career that needs as many as it can get. You must and will succeed in this imperative! Latter 2 lines addressed to Evite. OOPS!
Thank you so much for your comment and feedback :)
How i can follow in india can you suggest.
Indian food is highly plant-based with the numerous legumes and vegetables used in cooking. As long as you have access to fruits, vegetables, legumes, and grains, you can eat a whole food, plant-based diet. Explore Dr. T. Colin Campbell's foundation website for more info and ideas around this topic: nutritionstudies.org/
Whole foods as God created it. Only when we as sinners want to play god with our plants and animals by changing their unique DNA makeup, have we created monstrously debilitating foods.
Thank you for sharing your valuable comment, Cindy.
I used to eat anything and everything with no problem, but gradually over the last 5 years I have become highly allergic to wheat.
I can not eat bread, pasta, cookies, crackers or anything made from wheat. I can tolerate organic oats and all raw or cooked fruits and vegetables but I would rather have a piece of meat, otherwise I feel like I'm starving.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Terri. Indeed, modern wheat is doused with numerous harmful pesticides, including glyphosate, that has destructive actions on our intestines and digestive system, as well as our immune system. So it is wise in many cases to minimize it or avoid it accordingly.
However, there are so many wholesome and satisfying whole plant foods to enjoy and rely on without ever needing to turn to meat, and subjecting one's body and health to the numerous risks that come with it. Just in the grain group alone, there are numerous other grains you can choose instead of wheat, like quinoa, buckwheat, sorghum, teff, amaranth, brown rice, etc. And then, there are so many starchy vegetables that are so filling, including the many types of yams and squashes. And satiety also comes from properly balanced meals that include some healthy fats from nuts, seeds, or avocados.
So if you are feeling limited with your food choices, be sure to explore the amazing variety that the plant kingdom offers. It sounds like you would benefit from a plant-based nutritionist too, to help you know the amazing potential of plant foods and the infinite combinations of meals possible if you are interested in supporting your health in the best of ways. You can find such support on Plant-based docs here: www.plantbaseddoctors.org/
Best wishes!
Did Dr. Campbell know in 2016 about the existence of caseomorphine?
His China Study book and research was well before 2016.
I am planning of going for WPBD. However I am not sure about my two children. Can they drink soy milk?
Hi Jane. That is great to hear. When it comes to soy milk, while it is safe for both kids and adults, you don't need any of it at all as part of a WFPB diet. Please elaborate if you'd like why you focused on them drinking soy milk.
Also, if you need support starting, I offer a complete video course about it all here: www.udemy.com/whole-food-plant-based-diet/?couponCode=CARDPROMO
This way of eating sounds really healthy, but has anyone done a study on how it affects the teeth and bones? I would love to eat this way, but can't afford any more dental pain.
Jodi, there is actually a lot of "natural" and "scientific" evidence of how much this way of eating actually helps to protect the teeth and bones. For starters, diets high in animal foods and/or processed and refined foods are acidifying, which is one of the fastest ways to destroy the quality and strength of our bones. A whole-food, plant-based diet is alkalizing, which is highly protective to all parts of the body, organs, and tissues, especially the bones. When we look at nature, (i,e. the natural world) animals do not get cavities like us because they eat the "right diet" for them. Each animal species has its own foundational diet. Whenever animals eat the most natural diet for them, their bodies and health function quite optimally. Humans have gotten away from the right diet for them, in an effort to survive at first, and in recent decades and centuries due to industrialization, traditions, cultural pressures, ignorance, etc. The right and best diet for us, as human animals, is very similar to that of our closest animal relatives, chimpanzees, which is over 95% whole, plant foods.
With regards to teeth alone, the processed food in our society, especially all of the refined grain and sugar foods, and drinks, are the top reason for poor human dental health. When we remove these foods, and start healing the body with the optimal nutrition that is found in whole plant foods, we start to heal our body and offer it the best healing and prevention.
For more information about the science behind strong teeth, bones and various foods, I invite you to explore the work of Dr. Michael Greger, who dedicates his entire work to explaining to people all of the science of optimal nutrition: nutritionfacts.org/
thank you
A pleasure Eric, and thank you :)
watching this video because of the Forks over Knives doco
Great to hear, thanks.
Can a whole food, plant based diet reverse cancer?
A whole food plant based diet is the most powerful healing diet to help reverse cancer, but to what degree the cancer can be healed or reversed will depend on other factors beyond diet, mainly mental and emotional healing, as well as the type and state of the cancer, how supportive and healing your environment is, etc. For a more holistic approach to understanding how cancer can be healed, I recommend this film: The Cure Is... (thecureismovie.com/)
