Without dairy, where do we get our calcium?
The latest evidence indicates excess dietary protein does NOT weaken the bones. This information comes from last year's Latest in Clinical Nutrition (volume 4) produced by Michael Greger, MD and HSUS. From the documentary:
"Is protein "bad to the bone"? The thought is that dietary protein creates a metabolic acid load that has to be buffered by calcium from the bones and so somebody who eats a lot of protein, particularly animal protein, which has a higher acid-forming sulphur content, is basically peeing their bones down the toilet.
"Is this fact or fiction?
"We used to think its fact but we now know the best science says it's fiction"
The research pictured in the documentary is from 2009: Dietary protein and bone health: a systematic review and meta-analysis
There are are a lot of things wrong with animal products but animal protein causing bone loss is not one of them, according to the evidence.
Potatoes bad? Not so fast (VIDEO)
Thanks for the article. I am a russett potato lover!
One area of possible concern with potatoes is that they contain glycoalkaloids, which are harmful to human health, according to a review mentioned in Latest in Clinical Nutrition(volume 3, 2009) by Michael Greger MD. If you eat potatoes, peel them. Sweet potatoes do not contain these compounds and are considered healthful.
If you can find anything different on the topic would appreciate.
T. Colin Campbell on Bill Maher's HBO Show (VIDEO)
I have to disagree with some of the above comments.
I don t know if the extremely negative Don and mgalli (neither have posted previously in this forum) were looking at the same video as I was, but I thought Dr. Campbell was able to express himself well and he did an excellent job as far as bringing out issues regarding plant based diets(the great donut example made it clear what whole foods is not), government/big business complicity, lack of nutrition training of doctors,public confusion of nutrition issues, etc..
Maher appeared sympathetic and a few times helped Dr. Campbell make his points.
Thanks to Dr. Campbell and keep up the good work.

I checked the videos on YouTube by LGBTCompassiondotorg
In addition to the animal cruelty documented on video, the live chicken vendor is selling egg-laying hens from factory farming operations, a violation of California "Certified" Farmers Markets policy. There are public health violations created from fresh animal feces from the birds getting onto public areas of the market. I am glad my farmers market doesn't have live animal vendors.
