more recent studies are leading towards plant food being worse than eating animal .lecitin's which are in most plant foods are being shown to do reat bad things to us humans . as researcher dr gundry found " Plants don't like us. They were here first. They had it great before animals arrived because nobody wanted to eat them or their babies: their seeds. When animals arrived, plants had a problem: They couldn't run, they couldn't hide, and they couldn't fight. But they were chemists of incredible ability. So they turned to chemical warfare to convince their new predators, animals, not to eat them."They do this by using, among other things, proteins called lectins that literally act like guided missile attacks on the gut lining of animals, the nerves, and the joints by binding to sugar molecules. Essentially they hack their predators to make them feel ill, or not thrive, or hurt. The smart animals get the message and move on. Then humans arrived. We're pretty stupid. "

Dr. Grundy is a perfect example of someone whose "studies" support a personal agenda. His agenda? Supplements that cost thousands of dollars per year. https://gundrymd.com/supplements/ Talk about follow the money!

With all the peer-reviewed scientific research and massive amounts of evidence in favor of plant based diets, if you truly believe Grundy's assertion that eating animals over plants is a healthier diet for humans, I am not going to be able to convince you otherwise.

Virtually ALL of these "studies" are of little real value. Most are designed to convince people to open their wallets. The Only real and effective "diets" are those which consist of a balance of caloric intake and a routine of exercise to consume any excess calories. Perhaps the Best indicators are the BMI index, and the height to waistline ratio. If a persons Belly circumference is more than half their height, that person needs to do a serious reevaluation of their eating habits and lifestyle. Virtually Any food is OK, so long as a person consumes it in moderation.

Excellent! Well said. The key is moderation. It's taken me 70 years to figure out what my body (and stomach) don't like so I don't even tempt myself to eat them. One of the things I just cannot digest is beef. Hamburg is OK but I can't tolerate roast beef. I love the taste of it but can't digest it so I stay away from it. I read an article a long time ago that humans were never meant to digest meat. I've always had a problem with it.

That's kind of strange because from what I learned is that hunters came before "hunter and gatherers." If anything, it would be carbs that humans shouldn't be eating. At least not the amount we are eating now.

I misstated that: The article said humans have a difficult time digesting red meat. I've always had that problem, but I understand what you're saying. I have always heard/read and saw on documentaries that early man were hunters and gatherers.
 
Colleen, you might be interested in reading Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari. Really, really interesting. He says that the worst thing to happen to humans was when they learned how to grow things like wheat, etc, and from that came towns and cities and people living close together which resulted in diseases and cruelty to animals.
