Both the Esselstyn book at the China study were pretty straight forward in their presentation of the current research even pointing out its’ limitations. Hyperbole refers to an overstatement of facts.
Esselstyn’s version of it, but go easy on the name-calling. It’s really okay if you don’t want to eat like a vegan…or if you don’t want to attempt Dr. I believe him…because he’s my doctor…and…training and all. He’s telling me I’ll see this disease reverse. since I started, and I feel better than I have in years. I started this diet because of my heart disease, and while you feel the science of it is “easily debunked,” my health numbers debunk your bunk! My cholesterol (TOTAL cholesterol) is 91, my blood pressure is regulating to the point that my cardiologist is backing me off my meds, I’ve lost almost 85 lbs. I, um, like sex, too…I feel awkwardly obliged to mention. I think you’re assuming that all I can eat is lightly washed earth vegetables and tree bark. If I’m craving sweets, I eat some raspberry sorbet from Haagen-Dazs. If I’m craving a burger, I make a black bean burger that I love. The food I eat is fantastic and I don’t feel like I’m being robbed of anything. Esselstyn’s diet for right at a year now, and in addition to having perfectly normal skin, hair and scalp, I love food. Yikes…talk about hyperbolic! I think your rhetoric is a bit extreme! Anytime anyone comes out with such an extreme recommendation, be very cautious about accepting it as “fact”. And yes - I’ve read the China Study, I’ve read the Engine No.2 books and watched “Forks Over Knives” - and I know hysterical, hyperbolic propaganda when I see it. Their recipes and cookbooks produce inedible results that give vegetarianism/veganism a bad name. They are obsessed with thinness and life extension, and much of their “science” is easily debunked junk. They are no better than religious cults that despise sex (for many of the same reasons!). Theirs is a very fanatical “breatharian” religious construct, which hates food and hates pleasure. It would taste simply AWFUL, and over time, you will have dry skin, constipation, dry scalp, brittle dry hair and so on.Ĭontrary to the fanaticism of the Esselstyn clan, you need SOME fats and oils in your diet - at least 10% - for health. No culture or society in the world eats a “no oil”, no fat diet. Debby: you know, I can accept and respect veganism - out of health concerns, animal welfare or just personal taste - and vegetarianism.
