Fuhrman’s book Eat to Live is a really easy read, a little too elementary and redundant in some ways, but he quotes studies in it. You can probably get it in the library or super cheap online.
I’m not trying to push him, he’s what a lot of people probably think is extreme. I think for people like me, my gene pool, his way is probably the best way. Similar to Ornish they tout vegan diets. Fuhrman says that if you eat animal best if it’s fish, but he also says there is probably some percentage of animal one can have in their diets that is relatively safe. That there is a tipping point, and that he doesn’t know what it is based on any science. That there are no good specific studies on that. I think it’s different for every person.
When I have a cardiac panel done and I’ve been eating without watching my diet much not only is my cholesterol crazy high, but my other fats indicators are too. The ones that indicate high vegetable oils etc. my body just doesn’t stop making cholesterol when I take it in and doesn’t get rid if fats either. Most people don’t have full cardiac panels done, so they don’t know all those numbers.
