If The WFPB Were A Pill<\/h2>\n

\u201cJust how healthy is the Whole Food Plant Based Diet (WFPB) diet?<\/h3>\n

Let\u2019s pretend that all its effects could \u200ebe achieved through a drug. Imagine a big pharmaceutical company \u200eholding a press conference to unveil a new pill called Eunutria. They \u200eunveil a list of scientifically proven effects of Eunutria that includes the \u200efollowing:\u200e<\/p>\n

\u2666 Prevents 95% of all cancers, including those \u201ccaused\u201d by environmental \u200etoxins \u200e
\n\u2666 Reverses even severe heart disease
\n\u2666 Prevents nearly all heart attacks and strokes
\n\u2666 Prevents and reverses Type 2 diabetes so quickly and profoundly that after \u200ethree days on this drug, it\u2019s dangerous for users to continue to use insulin<\/p>\n

\u200e\u200e\u200eWhat about side effects, you ask?\u200e<\/h3>\n

Of course there are side effects. They \u200einclude:\u200e<\/p>\n

\u2666 Gets you to your ideal weight in a healthy and sustainable fashion
\n\u2666 Eliminates most migraines, acne, colds and flu, chronic pain, and \u200eintestinal distress
\n\u2666 Improves energy
\n\u2666 Cures erectile dysfunction (that makes the pill a blockbuster success all by \u200eitself!)\u200e<\/p>\n

Those are just the side effects for individuals taking the pill. There are \u200ealso environmental effects:\u200e<\/p>\n

\u2666 Slows and possibly reverses global warming
\n\u2666 Reduces groundwater contamination
\n\u2666 Ends the need for deforestation
\n\u2666 Shuts down factory farms
\n\u2666 Reduces malnutrition and dislocation among the world\u2019s poorest \u200ecitizens<\/p>\n

How healthy is the WFPB diet?<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s hard to imagine anything healthier \u2013 or \u200eanything more effective at addressing our biggest health issues. Not only \u200eis WFPB the healthiest way of eating that has ever been studied, but it\u2019s \u200efar more effective in promoting health and preventing disease than \u200eprescription drugs, surgery, vitamin and herbal supplementation, and \u200egenetic manipulation.\u200e<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u200e\u200e\u200eIf the WFPB diet were a pill, its inventor would be the wealthiest person \u200eon earth. Since it isn\u2019t a pill, no market forces conspire to advocate for it. \u200eNo mass media campaign promotes it. No insurance coverage pays for it. \u200eSince it isn\u2019t a pill, and nobody has figured out how to get hugely wealthy \u200eby showing people how to eat it, the truth has been buried by half-truths, \u200eunverified claims, and downright lies. The concerted effort of many \u200epowerful interests to ignore, discredit, and hide the truth has worked so \u200efar.\u201d<\/strong> \u200e<\/p>\n

\u00a0Food is pharmacology. What you put on the end of your fork is the most important decision you make ever day to make an impact on your health, the environment, the economy, and the government.<\/em> ~ Dr.Mark Hyman<\/p>\n

\n

Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants<\/em>. ~ Michael Pollan<\/p>\n

Don't eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize as food.<\/em> ~ Michael Pollan<\/p>\n

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.<\/em> ~ Hippocrates<\/p>\n

The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will cure and prevent disease with nutrition.<\/em> ~Thomas Edison<\/p>\n

You will find that your taste buds have a memory of about 3 weeks.<\/em> ~ Dr. Neal Barnard<\/p>\n

The truth is that we are addicted to fat — literally. Receptors in our brains account for our addicition to nicotine, heroin, and cocaine, and similar cravings have been identified for fat and sugars as well.<\/em> ~ Dr. Esselstyn<\/p>\n

I've given much thought to the next steps that individuals who are sufficiently convinced by what I've shared, both here and in The China Study, and who want to help create change, might take. The most important step is to change the way you eat. The diet is simple: Eat whole, plant-based foods, with little or no added oil, salt, or refined carbohydrates like sugar or white flour. There is nothing more convincing than experiencing the change for oneself. That crucial shift in the way we think about our health will happen, one person at a time. Eventually, policy will begin to change. Industry, deprived of the income produced by ill health and our ignorance, will follow.<\/em> ~ T. Colin Campbell, PH.D<\/p>\n

If it doesn't run, fly, swim, or grow from the ground, it's not food! ~ Annemarie Colbin<\/p>\n

The way you think, the way you behave, the way you eat, can influence your life by 30 to 50 years<\/em>. ~ Deepak Chopra<\/p>\n
