Happy National Fruitcake Day! I actually tend to like fruitcake, but I haven't
had any in a really long time, so I may not feel that way if I had some right
now. Holiday foods aside, we had a rare visit to the movies on Christmas, as we
went to see Rogue One. I can see why the reviews on this are mixed, as I
have mixed feelings about it myself. There were parts I loved, and parts I
didn't, but on balance the experience was positive, and I was happy to have seen
it, and happy to have made the effort to do so in the theater. But I also just
like movies in general, so in the same way I wouldn't be a good video game
critic, I wouldn't be a good movie critic. Also, I probably would have
considered the movie enjoyable if they just had Alan Tudyk's part surrounded by
footage of cows grazing, so you may not want to go by me.

That's why you'll see me in this section often responding to health related news articles, and promoting books by Dr. Michael Greger, Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. Cadwell Esselstyn, Dr. John McDougall, T. Colin Campbell, Dr. Dean Ornish and so on. I believe these are truly non-biased portals to honest health research.
Is there a big difference among the various programs by these doctors? Dr. Esselstyn's seems stricter than Ornish's for example.
That's true Dr. Esselstyn does seem a bit stricter. It could be because he was trying to reverse the cardiovascular disease in older people, rather than preventing it in younger people, so it might take more effort to reverse the years of damage. Or maybe because he's old and that's just how things were done back then lol, I'm not really sure
But they all in all, they are all essentially advocating a whole foods plant based way of eating.
A good one to start with is The Negative Calorie Effect by Neal Barnard, it's a very short book, so it spends more time explaining the overall principles instead of getting into the details of the research. And on the opposite there is How Not To Die by Dr. Greger, which almost entirely explains research one by one if you like the details.
