Dr. Barnard on Dr. Oz: Preventing Alzheimer's Is Easy

2013-03-14T16:45:56Z

50% of Americans have Alzheimers' Disease by age 85.

Fifty percent!

Half the people reading this page right now will get Alzheimer's by age 85, assuming they make it to that age.

But there's good news -- it doesn't have to be you.

Neal Barnard MD has a fantastic new book, POWER FOODS FOR THE BRAIN: An Effective 3-Step Plan to Protect Your Mind and Strengthen Your Memory.

This book presents the latest cutting-edge information about the causes of Alzheimer's -- and how to avoid it. Order a copy at the link below.

What causes Alzheimer's?

New research strongly points to the role of excess metals absorbed from the environment -- iron, copper, zinc, as well as aluminum. Even modest excesses of these metals can wreak havoc with your brain.

The number one way you can be exposed to these metals is through what you eat and drink.

Fortunately you can choose foods that prevent Alzheimer's, and avoid the ones which promote it.

The bottom line is to eat a healthy plant-based diet. Lose the saturated fat, avoid meat and dairy. Avoid sources of excess iron, copper, zinc and aluminum (in places you might not expect it). Exercise and get adequate sleep. Omea 3's are also important, but not through fish. Vitamin E is good -- but only through food, not through supplements. Think sweet potatoes, broccoli, mangoes, nuts.

Dr. Klaper: Olive Oil is Not Healthy (VIDEO)

2013-02-02T02:17:25Z

Could it be that the "olive oil is heart healthy" notion is just a marketing ploy?

In a word: YES!

The beneficial components of the Mediterranean Diet and Lyon Diets -- are that they are largely vegetarian diets. The health benefits of those diets are IN SPITE OF the olive oil, rather than because of it.

Esteemed veg icon, Michael Klaper MD, gave an amazing talk at the 2012 Healthy Lifestyle Expo. The title was "Salt, Sugar and Oil: What's The Problem?"

Fake Obesity Experts (VIDEO)

2013-01-24T06:18:44Z

A lot of top obesity "experts" say they know what makes people fat, and how to fix it.

The only problem is: they just can't seem to do it where their own body is concerned!

How is it that in this country, fat people can get on television posing as obesity experts?

We all know there's one group of weight loss experts who aren't fat -- those who teach a healthy, whole food, plant-based diet.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel Endorses Engine 2 Diet (VIDEO)

2013-01-12T19:33:23Z

Look who's going plant-strong these days. Not just firemen and your average Joe, but high profile people like Bill Clinton, Sanjay Gupta MD and Michelle Pfeiffer.

This week Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel publicly got behind plant-based eating, saying the ENGINE 2 DIET has improved his running times. He also believes that Chicago's healthcare costs could be dramatically reduced -- if more people simply decided go plant-strong.

Low Carb Jimmy Moore - Setting Record Straight! (VIDEO)

2012-12-19T05:48:46Z

We previously made Jimmy Moore our Obese Low-Carb Guru of the Month!

Jimmy saw the video and apparently is complaining that the dates we had of the photos of him were wrong, because some months ago, Jimmy started a NEW low-carb diet, this time a high FAT rather than high protein diet (which makes all the difference).

Jimmy says his new low-carb diet is working great, and that our previous video was "dishonest."

So we thought we'd do an update video, to cover the facts even Jimmy can't dispute -- that low-carb diets are incredibly unhealthy.

Neal Barnard MD -- Go vegan to avoid Alzheimer's (VIDEO)

2012-12-18T03:48:37Z

Everyone knows by now that fruits and vegetables promote health, and animal products promote disease.

Just this month another in the thousands of studies -- this one showing that over the 20 year study period, of men who had prostate cancer, those who ate a lot of fruits and veggies were 40% less likely to have the aggressive, fatal form of prostate cancer than those who ate more animal products.

That's cancer. But what about your brain?

Today we bring you a fascinating excerpt from a recent presentation by venerated researcher and PCRM president -- Neal Barnard MD.

Listen as Dr. Barnard tells what research clearly shows about the decline of the brain -- and most importantly, how you can dramatically reduce your chances of becoming an Alzheimer's statistic.

Do not miss this! Share it with everyone you know.

John Robbins - 25 Years of Diet For A New America (VIDEO)

2012-12-12T16:05:41Z

NEW BOOK & NEW VIDEO!

25 years ago, John Robbins published a seminal work that made the connection between food, health, the environment and the horror of factory farming.

The book was titled Diet For A New America, and it's the book that made Team VegSource (aka the Nelson family) awaken, and decide to go veg.

In many ways, this book changed the course of our life, the lives of many in our families, and perhaps the lives of many we've been privileged to connect with through the internet. This book is the reason that our website, VegSource.com, came into exitence.

Today, the 25th Anniversary edition of Diet For A New America goes on sale. It's updated and even more powerful today than 25 years ago!

If you haven't read it, pick up a copy today. It's a book that changed our lives in a profound way.

Unbelievable story!

But there's much much more than just that story in this 1-hour talk from John and Ocean. It's a talk relevant to your life and the food revolution struggle we're all involved in.

2012-12-05T02:37:30Z

Low Carb Guru of the Month -- Jimmy Moore (VIDEO)

2012-12-03T01:37:43Z

Watch out for carbs! They'll make you fat!

That's what a group of bestselling low-carb, high protein "Paleo" diet authors say.

And they've sold millions of books and made a bleeping fortune teaching how to get lean and mean -- by avoiding carbs and eating lots of meat!

But when you see these guys selling this meaty message, a lot of them have a big problem.

With their own weight!

Nothing personal against the low-carb guru in this video. He's probably a nice person who believes what he's selling. We just think what he's selling is false, and very very unhealthy.

And here's the first video that started exposing the real story on low-carb authors:

Nuts: What does the science really say? (VIDEO)

2012-11-30T02:00:47Z

Let's be real. The most important thing you can do with your diet to protect your health is to minimize or avoid entirely animal foods. Fried foods, processed foods, salty, oily, crapped up sugary food -- lose them as well.

Instead, focus on unprocessed whole plant foods, fruits, veggies, grains and legumes, and you'll be way way ahead.

So given that these are the overarching principles for a healthy diet, why a talk focused on nuts?

Maybe because nuts have been driving people nuts. You hear things like, "Nuts will prevent arrythmias!" "Nuts will combat heart disease!" "Nuts will help you live longer!" "Nuts won't make you gain weight!" and similar claims.

On the surface, nuts do look like they have benefits. But when you dig down and actually examine the studies that support these claims? There's very little "there" there. In other words, the hype on nuts looks like little more than hype.

Famed dietitian Jeff Novick MS RD recently gave a 2-hour talk where he looked at every facet of the claims about nuts. He looked at every major study which is used to back up those claims, and then he let you decide. Once you dig into those studies and see what they actually say, you can decide for yourself how strong the evidence is behind those claims.

This is a short excerpt from Jeff's talk, and helps you realize why T. Colin Campbell PhD said of Jeff that: "your ability to probe and analyze the research literature is as good as anyone I know, inside or outside of the professional research community. You actually obtain the papers and critically review the tables and charts of the data, then see if the authors discussion of their own data is consistent."

True.

Low Carb Book Authors -- ARE FAT! (VIDEO)

2012-06-29T00:53:05Z

Low carb diet proponents are making a killing off diet book sales.

But what about the authors themselves?

If they eat their diet and it's so great, shouldn't they look thin and healthy?

We know the vegan diet doctors are all trim and enjoy robust health.

But the same doesn't appear to be true for the "experts" recommending diets heavy in meat and low in whole carbs.

SCROLL DOWN TO WATCH VIDEO:

Low-carb/high meat gurus featured in the video:

Loren Cordain, Author: "The Paleo Diet". Recommends you eat 55% meat.

Sally Fallon, Author: "Eat Fat, Lose Fat" - President Weston A. Price Foundation. Recommends meat, dairy, fish and vegetable fats.

William Davis, MD. Author: "The Wheat Belly" - Recommends no wheat, but lots of meat, dairy and oil.

Barry Sears, PhD, Author: "The Zone Diet". Recommends: meat, fish, and olive oil (restricts carbs).

Robert Atkins, MD. Author: "The Atkins Diet." Recommends bacon, brie and butter.
