Diary has links to various chronic conditions and is a huge contributor to rising saturated fat levels. From heart disease to obesity to certain types of cancer, dairy is a contributing factor. Do yourselves and loved ones a good deed, just say no!

There’s only one diet that’s ever been proven to reverse heart disease in the majority of patients—a diet centered around whole plant foods. So, anytime anyone tries to sell you on some new diet, do me a favor. Ask them one simple question: “Has it been proven to reverse heart disease—you know, the number one reason you, and all your loved ones, will die?” If the answer is “No,” why would you even consider it, right? Only one diet has ever been proven to do that. That’s not cherry-picking—there’s only one cherry.

Plants 🌱 for the win once again!

But what are the stimuli that jumpstart the deleterious inflammatory cascade? You typically hear about the pro-inflammatory nature of a chronic high-fat diet, but the inflammatory effect “may not be limited to chronic intake but may be evident after the consumption of a single meal.”

Foods That Cause Inflammation | NutritionFacts.org Inflammatory markers can double within six hours of eating a pro-inflammatory meal. Which foods are the worst?
