Hello,

Does anyone know where the recent article is located on the female marathon runner dx with RA turned vegan?

All of Jeff's educational DVDs are outstanding. He makes me aspire to be a better RD/CDE.

I am looking for his Vegan Fast Food cookbook...anyone know about it?

I have to thank all of you, again, for all of your support and feedback. Since posting this, I have been 100% vegan with my diet. I don't think I have been even slightly tempted. :)

Olive Oil, monounsaturated, has polyphenyls in it which are good for clearing out heart arteries. So we use 1 teaspoon on our salad along with a tablespoon of vinegar, your choice. This video is seriously overdosing on oil to make an exagerated point.

Do note that Dr. Joel Fuhrman has some patients who lose too much weight on a vegan diet so he adds a measured amount of fat.

Another good choice for fats is whole almonds. No, we don't eat them by the cupful! How about a dozen almonds per day. Lots of studies show health benefits of nuts like almonds, given no allergy sensitivity.

Polyunsaturated fats according to health news in BBC can lead to increase in colon cancer. I don't have the reference at my fingertips. So we use 2 grams of distilled (gets rid of mercury etc) fish oil a day. That's less than the 2 tablespoons implied in this exaggerated video.

I don't think the presentation has to go way overboard to make a good point.
