So my dad had a quadruple bypass on his heart several years ago and the doctors wanted to pump him with all these medications. Instead, he switched to an all plant based diet and has never felt more incredible. He has achieved the same results as many of my Friends that are all beef. He has significantly gained muscle mass and has been able to do things physically that he hasn’t been able to do in years.

Is one better than the other? Does it depend on our ancestor body type? Thoughts? 🤔

Congrats to your dad. Given the fad-driven, contradictory, ever-shifting and historically corrupt state of nutrition “science”, one’s most rational option seems like trying different approaches to see what works for oneself.

Couldn’t agree more.

Another example is the mainstream, NYT-type dismissal of supplements as “lacking evidence.” OK, except I’ve had dramatically good results for my lifelong borderline triglycerides levels by consuming a turmeric supplement daily. And when I started taking a One-A-Day multivitamin 30 years ago, two warts on my hands went away forever. So I’ve learned to experiment, within reason.
