.@nutrition_facts reviews which #vegetables bind cholesterol-laden bile acids best while traveling through the intestines, thus preventing bile re-absorption. Beets can't be beat.

Food structure/processing matters: rolled oats are better than instant oats; steel-cut oats better than rolled. Better = lower glycemic index and the "need" to eat more later. Again, whole, plant-based diet wins.

Two studies from one project: foods naturally low in animal saturated fats are the healthiest.

Youza! Dr. Michael Gregger, author of How Not to Die, reviews the research, and the evidence clearly suggests that dairy consumption increases men’s risk of developing prostate cancer….Shit.

Unfortunately, one in five Ayurvedic herbal dietary supplements were found contaminated with lead, mercury, and/or arsenic.

Sunlight penetrates our skin. Chlorophyll from our diet enters our body and is activated by the light penetrating our skin. This appears to help regenerate CoQ10 in our body, which is a vital antioxidant (among other things).

Some people do poorly on a plant-based diet. Fuhrman suggests it's about individual/age differences in nutrient absorption AND about fat. The brain needs various fatty acids, and a plant-based, low-fat diet may not deliver (or the person may not absorb) those fatty acids.

Green tea w/ amala.

Gregger says eat whole food sources of fat, never/minimal processed sources like refined oils. Furhman 2015 study suggests whole food sources are fine and when a part of whole food, plant based diet will promote reversal of heart disease. Wow! Need to follow up.
