re: Anyone do a plant based diet?

I’m pretty sure you ignore everything I say already,which is fine.I still can’t believe that the Keto diet is healthy except for a few certain people with a different genetic makeup.
The Masai live on mostly milk and cow blood with high cholesterol intake and are very healthy with very little heart disease.They also don’t have lactose intolerance with is extremely common in most blacks.
Harvard Medical School as reported in Harvard Health Publishing considers the keto diet to have serious risks such as nutrient deficiency,liver and kidney problems.
“The research continues to show that healthy carbohydrates-fruits,vegetables,beans and whole grains are the healthiest fuel for our bodies”quote by Hana Kahleova,M.D.,Ph.D- director of clinical research for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.
Another recent study published by the Lancet found that people who consume animal based,low carbohydrate diets have a shorter life expectancy compared with those who consume more carbohydrates and/ or more plant based sources of protein or fat.
Dr.Esselsteyn caught a lot of grief for his advocacy for vegetarian diet but he has documented proof that it works -coronary angiograms before and after following his diet.
His diet is brutal,to be sure,as it is the strictest of all.Pretty sure I would have to be on death’s door to follow it.
Search the Internet and one can find plenty of advocates for the keto diet and studies that show it to be beneficial to health.I guess one should read all the different opinions and decide for yourself.
I myself was influenced by an outstanding cardiologist ( lot smarter than me) who had a particular interest in nutrition,which is rare in doctors.He was a disciple of Campbell,Esselstyn et.al.He seriously tried to help his patients improve their health through diet rather than just put them on a lot of meds.
