plant-based diets
Plant-based Atkins diet
“Plant-Based Atkins Diet” This was a pretty dramatic case report,
but it was just one person. Recently, researchers at Harvard
decided to look at 100,000 people: “Low-Carb Diets and All-Cause
and Cause-Specific Mortality.” They found that low-carb diets
were associated with higher all-cause mortality,
higher cardiovascular disease mortality, and higher cancer mortality. The final nail in Atkins’ coffin. Men and women on low-carb diets
lead significantly shorter lives; more cancer deaths, more heart attacks. Sure, you may lose some weight,
but the only way we may be able to enjoy it is with a skinnier casket.
But wait! In 2009, some enterprising researchers
came up with a plant-based, low-carb diet; the so-called “Eco-Atkins” diet. They figured that maybe the problem with
the Atkins diet wasn’t that it was high-fat, high-protein, but that it was
high-animal fat, -animal protein. So they constructed a
vegan version of the Atkins diet. How is that possible? Well, lots of mock meats, seitan,
soy burgers, veggie bacon, veggie cold cuts, veggie sausage,
tofu, lot of nuts, avocado, etc. How did they do? Pretty good, actually. Instead of their bad cholesterol going up,
like it does on a meat-based Atkins, after just two weeks on the
plant-based, low-carb diet, their LDL was down more than 20%.
Now the whole study only
lasted a month, though, so you couldn’t really
make any generalizations. But it was intriguing enough that
when the data was run at Harvard, they picked out the people
eating plant-based, low-carb diets to see if they suffered
the same low-carb fate. That’s the nice thing about doing dietary
studies on 100,000 people at a time: you can find people eating
just about anything. What do you think they found? This line represents the
mortality rate of the typical diet. And this is what they found
for people following more of an Atkins-style low-carb diet:
significantly higher risk of death. But what do you think they found
for those following a plant-based, low-carb diet? Do they suffer the same crazy
mortality as the Atkins people? Or maybe they didn’t do that bad, but still had more mortality
than those eating regular diets? Or did they have the same,
or lower mortality? They had lower mortality. They concluded: “A low-carbohydrate diet
based on animal sources was associated with higher all-cause mortality
in both men and women, whereas a vegetable-based
low-carbohydrate diet was associated with lower all-cause and
cardiovascular disease mortality rates.” So it appears, what matters really isn’t
the ratio of fat to carbs to protein, but rather, the source— whether they’re coming
from plants or animals.

Did a vegan diet kill this baby?
"Did a Vegan Diet Kill This Baby?" “…Vegan couple whose baby
died of vitamin deficiency after being fed solely
on breast milk…” Uh, isn’t that what you’re
supposed to feed babies? Yes, but if you’re not
getting enough vitamin B12, then your baby’s not
getting enough B12. “Parents adopted lifestyle after watching
TV programme about butchered cows,” and ended up generating
headlines like this: “Vegans charged in death…
over death…after death… neglect…neglect and death…
and baby killing.” “Poll: did a vegan diet
kill the baby?” Why, yes it did. A non-B12-fortified vegan diet killed
that little girl, and she’s not the first. And if vegans don’t get their
act together and get their B12, she will not be the last..

Treating Asthma and Eczema With Plant-Based Diets
"Treating Asthma and Eczema With Plant-Based Diets" Twenty patients with allergic eczema were placed
on a vegetarian diet for two months, and their disease scores, covering both
subjective and objective signs and symptoms were cut in half, similar to what you see
using one of our most powerful drugs. The drug worked quicker, within about two weeks, but since side effects may include kidney failure
and cancer the drug is considered a class 1 carcinogen,
the dietary option may be preferable.
But this was no ordinary vegetarian diet. This was an in-patient study using
an extremely calorically restricted diet. They were practically half fasting, so we don't know
which component was responsible for the therapeutic effect. What about using a more conventional plant-based
diet against a different allergic disease, asthma? In Sweden, there was an active health movement that
claimed that a vegan diet could improve or cure asthma. Bold claim. So in order to test this, a skeptical
group of orthopedic surgeons at the University Hospital followed a series of patients who were
treated with a vegan regimen for one year.
Patients, participants had to be
willing to go completely plant-based and they had to have physician-verified asthma of
at least a year's duration that wasn't getting better, or even getting worse despite
the best medical therapies available. They found quite a sick group to follow. Thirty-five patients with long-established hospital-verified
bronchial asthma for an average duration of a dozen years. Of the 35 patients, 20 had been admitted to the hospital
for acute asthmatic attacks during the last two years. Of these, one patient had received acute infusion therapy a total
of 23 times during the period, which is like an emergency intravenous.
And another patient claimed he had been brought
to the hospital 100 times during his disease and
on every occasion had evidently required such treatments. One patient even had a cardiac arrest during an asthma
attack and had been brought back to life on a ventilator,
so we're talking some pretty serious cases. They were on up to eight different
asthma medications when they started. They were each on an average of 4.5 drugs
and still not getting better.
Twenty of the 35 were constantly using cortisone, which
is one of our most powerful steroids used in severe cases. So basically fairly advanced cases of the disease,
more severe than the vegan practitioners were used to. Still, how'd they do? Eleven could not stick to the diet for a year. But of the 24 that did, 71% reported improvement
at four months and 92% at one year, and these were folks that had not improved at all
over the previous year before changing their diet. Concurrently with this improvement, the patients
greatly reduced their consumption of medicine. Four had completely given up their medication altogether,
and only two weren't able to at least drop their dose.
They went from 4.5 drugs down to 1.2,
and some were able to get off cortisone. Some said that their improvement was so considerable
that they felt like ”they had a new life.” One nurse had difficulty at work because
most of her co-workers were smokers, but after the year she could withstand the secondhand smoke
without getting an attack, as well as tolerating other asthma triggers. Others reported the same thing. Whereas previously they could only live in a clean environment
and felt more or less isolated in their homes, they could now stay out without getting asthma attacks. And it wasn't just subjective improvements. There was a significant improvement in a number of clinical variables, including most importantly, measures of lung function, vital capacity,
forced expiratory volume, as well as physical working capacity, as well as a significant drop in sed rate,
and IgE, which are allergy associated antibodies.
Bottom line, they started out with 35 patients who had
suffered from severe asthma for an average of 12 years, all receiving long-term medication, 20 including cortisone, were subjected to vegan food for a year, and in almost all cases medication was withdrawn or drastically reduced,
and there was a significant decrease in asthma symptoms. Despite the improved lung function tests and lab values, the placebo effect obviously can't be discounted
since there is no blinded control group, but the nice thing about a healthy diet
is that there are only good side effects.
Their cholesterol significantly improved, their
blood pressures got better, they lost 18 pounds, so from a medical standpoint, I figure why not give it a try?.

Preventing Asthma with Fruits and Vegetables
"Preventing Asthma With Fruits and Vegetables" Asthma is the most common
chronic disease in children, and the prevalence is
increasing around the world. Despite this, most research dollars
are spent on adult chronic diseases. One might ask whether this is because
our politicians and senior administrators feel themselves to be more
likely to suffer from the latter, and ignore allergic diseases
because they have their major impact on children and young
adults who don't vote. Imagine how much more effort
would be put into elucidating causes of a disorder
that increased at the same escalated rate in
the middle aged and elderly. Well, finally, an international study
of asthma and allergies in childhood, studying more than a million children
in nearly a hundred countries, making it the most comprehensive survey
of these diseases ever undertaken. What did they find? They found a wide variability
in the prevalence and severity of asthma, allergies,
and eczema. We're talking 20-fold
to 60-fold difference in prevalence of symptoms of
asthma, allergic runny nose, and atopic eczema
around the world. Striking worldwide variations in
the prevalence of allergic symptoms.
What does it
all mean? Well, the large variability
suggests a crucial role of some kind of local characteristics
determining the differences in prevalence between
one place and another. What kind of environmental factors? Like, why does the prevalence
of itchy eyes and runny nose range anywhere from 1% in India, for
example, up to 45% of kids elsewhere? There were some associations with
regional air pollution and smoking rates, but the most significant
associations were with diet. Adolescents showed a
consistent pattern of decreases in symptoms of wheeze
(current and severe), allergic rhinoconjunctivitis
and atopic eczema, associated with increased
consumption of plants. The more their calories and
protein came from plant sources, the less allergies
they seemed to have. In general, there seems
to be an association between an increase
in asthma prevalence and decreased consumption of
fresh fruits, green vegetables, and other dietary
sources of antioxidants, helping to explain why the prevalence
of asthma and respiratory symptoms is lower in populations with high
intake of foods of plant origin. Intakes of high fat and sodium,
and low fiber and carbohydrates are linked with asthma, while traditional and vegetarian diets
are associated with lower rates.
For example, if you
look closer within India, in a study of more
than 100,000 people, those who consumed meat, for example,
daily or even occasionally, were more likely to report asthma than
those who were strictly vegetarian, which meant also
avoiding eggs. Eggs have been associated,
along with soda, with an increased risk of respiratory
symptoms and asthma in schoolchildren, whereas consumptions
of soy foods and fruits were associated with reduced
risk of respiratory symptoms. In fact, removing eggs from
the diet, along with dairy, may improve lung function
in asthmatic children in as little
as eight weeks. So maybe it's a combination of eating
less animal foods and more plants.
High vegetable intake, for example,
has been found protective in children, cutting the odds of
allergic asthma in half. And fruit showed a consistent
protective association for current and severe wheeze and
runny nose in adolescents, and for current and severe asthma,
allergies, and eczema for children. But why? I've talk about the endocrine-
disrupting industrial pollutants building up in the meat supply that may
increase the risk of allergic diseases, but the increase in asthma
may be a combination of both a more toxic environment
and a more susceptible population. "The dietary changes which have
occurred over recent years may have led to a reduction in
these natural antioxidant defenses, resulting in a shift of the antioxidant
status of the whole population and leading to increased susceptibility
to oxidant attack and airway inflammation." In adults, for example, the risk
of airway hyper-reactivity may increase seven-fold
among those with the lowest intake of
vitamin C from plants foods, while the lowest intake of saturated
fats gave a 10-fold protection, presumably because of saturated fats
have a role in triggering inflammation.
“The protective effect of plant-based
food may also be mediated through effects on
intestinal microflora." It turns out the differences in
the indigenous intestinal flora might affect the development and priming
of the immune system in early childhood. Kids with allergies,
for example, tend to be less likely to
harbor lactobacilli, the good bacteria that's
found in fermented foods and also just naturally
on fruits and vegetables. And lactobacillus probiotics may
actually help with childhood asthma, which may all help
explain why children raised on largely
organic vegetarian diets may have lower prevalence
of allergic reactions. Infants raised in this way tend
to have more good lactobacilli in their guts compared
to controls, though they were also more likely
to have been born naturally, breastfed longer, and not
given as many antibiotics, so you really can't tell if it's the
diet until you put it to the test… which we'll
explore next..

Plant-Based Diets for Diabetes
"Plant-Based Diets for Diabetes" I’ve talked about the role meat may
play in increasing the risk of diabetes, and the potential protective
role of healthy plant foods. But plant-based diets
not only appear to guard against getting diabetes
in the first place, they may successfully treat the disease
better than the diabetic diets patients are typically placed on, controlling
weight and cholesterol. Diets based on whole plant foods can
result in significant weight loss without any limits on portion
size or calorie counting, because plant foods tend
to be so calorically dilute. Here's a 100 calories of broccoli,
tomatoes, strawberries, compare that to a 100 calories
of chicken, cheese, or fish.
People just can't seem to eat to enough
to compensate for the calorie deficit so lose weight eating whole plant foods.
And most importantly, it works. Better. A plant-based diet beat out the conventional
American Diabetes Association diet in a head-to-head randomized
controlled clinical trial, without restricting portions,
no calorie or carb counting. A review of all such studies found that
individuals following plant-based diets experience improved reductions in blood
sugars, body weight, and cardiovascular risk, compared with those following
diets that included animal products.
And cardiovascular risk is
what kills diabetics the most. They're more likely to get strokes,
more likely heart failure. In fact, diabetes has been proposed as
a coronary heart disease risk equivalent, meaning diabetic patients without
a history of coronary disease have an equivalent risk to those
non-diabetic individuals with confirmed heart disease. A newer study used a technique to
actually measure insulin sensitivity. Improved on both diets
in the first three months, but then the veg diet pulled ahead.
And look at their LDL cholesterol. That's what we see when people
are put on plant-based diets; cholesterol comes down so much it can
actually reverse the atherosclerosis progression, reverse the
progression of heart disease.
We know about the beneficial
effect of vegetarian diets on controlling weight, blood sugars,
cholesterol, insulin sensitivity, and oxidative stress compared
to conventional diabetic diets, but what about quality
of life, mood? How did people feel after making
such a dramatic change in their diets? In this randomized controlled trial,
study subjects were assigned either to a plant-based diet
group or control group. Vegetables, grains, beans, fruits, and
nuts, with animal products limited to a maximum of one daily
portion of low-fat yogurt, and the control group got
the official diabetes diet. Quality of life improved on both
diets in the first few months, but within six months, the plant-
based group clearly pulled ahead. Same thing with
depression scores. Dropped in both groups
in the first three months, but started to rebound
in the control group. Bottom line, the more plant-based
diet led to a greater improvement in quality of life
and mood. Patients consuming a vegetarian diet
also felt less constrained than those consuming the conventional diet.
People actually felt the conventional diabetic diet was more restrictive
than the plant-based diet.
Disinhibition decreased
with a vegetarian diet, meaning those eating vegetarian
were less likely to binge. And the veg group folks
tended to feel less hungry, all of which helps with
sustainability in the long term, which is, of course, critical
for changing diet. So not only do plant-based diets
appear to work better, but they may be easier to stick to.
And with the improvement in mood, patients may exhibit desired
improvements not only in physical, but also in mental health..

Fibromyalgia vs. Vegetarian & Raw Vegan Diets
"Fibromyalgia vs. Vegetarian & Raw Vegan Diets" Millions suffer from fibromyalgia, a condition characterized by months
of widespread pain, as well as fatigue, sleep disorders,
depression, anxiety, cloudy thinking, headaches,
low back pain, and other illnesses. It has an enormous impact
on the quality of life of patients who may experience a reduced capacity
to carry on the activities of daily living. Everyday activity becomes more difficult,
more time consuming, or simply impossible.
Its cause is unknown, and there’s no effective treatment
for this illness. What can we do for those who suffer? Well, according to the latest review
on fibromyalgia and nutrition, a vegetarian diet could have
some beneficial effects, but based on what kind of evidence? Well, back in 1991, a survey was sent
to a few hundred folks suffering from various chronic pain conditions
including fibromyalgia, asking if they found any success
trying different diets. Some folks tried a vegetarian diet,
some folks tried a vegan diet. Some reported the various diets
helped with pain, stiffness, and swelling. Vegan diets were reported
to reduce disease symptoms more effectively than the vegetarian diet
with rheumatoid arthritis. But what we needed was to put these diets
to the test in formal studies. The first one was in ’93. Ten fibromyalgia patients were put on
a vegetarian diet for three weeks.
The measured levels of oxidation
and inflammation and cholesterol went down – no surprise. But of interest
from a clinical point of view is the positive effect of the treatment
upon pain status of most of the patients. Seven out of ten felt better. They weren’t sure if it was the improved condition
of the fibromyalgia patients in this course of treatment
with a vegetarian diet – whether it was due to the improvement
of their antioxidant status or what it was about a meat-free diet
that seemed to help so much. A vegan diet was first put to the test
in 2000, in Helsinki. You can tell English is not the researchers’
first language with sentences like: “Plants face heavy load of light.” The point they’re making is good though. UV light generates free radicals
in their tissues. All this means is that, you know,
plants must be well prepared to meet the challenges
of the oxidant radical stress and contain a broad variety
of antioxidants. That’s why plants don’t get sunburned
and their DNA damaged hanging out all day in the sun
without any sun block on.
So what would happen if you had people
live exclusively on plant items? In other words, what might be the effects
of a strict vegan diet on the symptoms of fibromyalgia? In fact the study used a raw vegan diet. The rheumatoid patients said
they felt better when they started to eat
the living food diet, and the symptoms got worse
when they returned back to their previous omnivorous diet. But what about the fibromyalgia patients? Both groups reported having
quite a lot of pain at rest in the beginning of the study. But there’s a significant decrease
in the raw vegan group, which gradually disappeared
after shifting back to the omnivorous diet. They also found other
significant changes, such as improvement
in the quality of sleep, reduction of morning stiffness, and improvement in measures
of general health. So, for example, here’s morning stiffness. The light bar represents those
about to go on the raw vegan diet, and the dark bars,
the omnivorous control group. They started out about the same,
but after about a month and a half those eating vegan felt
significantly less stiff, which continued through the end
of the three-month study.
And when they went back to eating their
regular diet, the stiffness returned. What about pains at rest?
Same thing. So significant improvements
in fibromyalgia – stiffness, pain, and general health
on a plant-based diet. The study only lasted three months, but it can be concluded that eating vegan has beneficial effects
on fibromyalgia symptoms, at least in the short run..

Fibromyalgia vs. Vegetarian & Raw Vegan Diets
“” Fibromyalgia vs. Vegetarian & & Raw Vegan Diets “Many millions deal with fibromyalgia, a problem defined by months
of widespread discomfort, along with tiredness, rest conditions,
anxiety, stress and anxiety, gloomy thinking, frustrations,
low pain in the back, and other ailments. It has an enormous effect
on the lifestyle of individuals who may experience a minimized capability
to continue the activities of daily living. Daily activity comes to be harder,
more time consuming, or merely impossible. Its cause is unidentified, and there’s no reliable treatment
for this health problem. What can we provide for those that endure? Well, according to the most recent testimonial
on fibromyalgia and nutrition, a vegan diet might have
some useful results, but based upon what sort of proof? Well, back in 1991, a study was sent out
to a few hundred individuals dealing with various chronic pain conditions
consisting of fibromyalgia, asking if they found any success
trying various diets.Some folks attempted
a vegetarian diet, some individuals attempted a vegan diet. Some reported the various diet regimens aided with pain, rigidity, and
swelling. Vegan diet regimens were reported to minimize disease symptoms more successfully than the vegan diet regimen with rheumatoid joint inflammation. However what we required was to place these diets to the examination in formal research studies. The very first one remained in’ 93.
10 fibromyalgia people were put on a vegetarian diet regimen for three weeks. The determined degrees of oxidation and swelling and cholesterol decreased– no surprise.
However of rate of interest from a clinical point of view is the favorable result of the therapy upon discomfort standing of the majority of the individuals. Seven out of 10 really felt better. They weren’t sure if it was the enhanced problem of the fibromyalgia clients in this course of treatment with a vegan diet regimen– whether it resulted from the improvement of their antioxidant standing or what it was concerning a meat-free diet that appeared to
assist so much.A vegan diet plan was initially tested in 2000, in Helsinki.
You can inform English is not the researchers ‘mother tongue with sentences like:” Plants encounter heavy load of light.” The point they’re making is great
though. UV light produces cost-free radicals in their cells. All this means is that, you recognize, plants need to be well prepared to meet the obstacles of the oxidant radical
anxiety and have a wide variety of antioxidants. That’s why plants don’t get sunburnt and their DNA
harmed socializing all the time in the sunlight with no
sunscreen on. So what would certainly happen if you had individuals real-time
exclusively on plant products? To put it simply, what might be the effects of a strict vegan diet regimen on the symptoms of fibromyalgia? In truth the
research used a raw vegan diet. The rheumatoid people stated they felt better when they started to consume the living food diet, and the signs worsened when they returned back to their previous omnivorous diet.But what about the fibromyalgia clients?
