Carbs make your insulin go up, but so does protein; a steak will cause substantially higher insulin secretion than pure white table sugar. What you really want to be eating is a high-carbohydrate, high-fiber diet (whole plant foods, lots of

Or, get your omega-3 from plant sources like flax and chia seed, and avoid eating fat-soluble industrial pollutants, like mercury and lead, found in fish.

The paper doesn't categorize low-fat vegan diets. The closest to it was recognized though: "only a Mediterranean dietary pattern was related to CHD in RCTs." (assuming saturated fat from meat was replaced with MUFAs or PUFAs)

You can't deny the fact certain foods, like processed meat, surely have a causal relationship to cancer, probably also heart disease and diabetes. As I've said before, the evidence against animal products and processed food in gen

Please, not Gary Taubes - see http://plantpositive.com/1-the-journalist-gary-taubes-1/ The second paper you've linked, the systematic review, is actually mostly in favor of a vegan diet. How does that raise questi

Thank you and I apologize for offending you. Both of those studies are too small and too short. The second article even says, "questions remain about long-term effects and mechanisms," so it doesn't address my original concer

A few people discussing the website somehow invalidates it and its thousand-plus cited references? I don't think so.

There is a lot of damning evidence against eating animals and their products, yet none seems present against eating whole food, high-carb vegan. This much seems perfectly clear from scientific literature and has been for decades. The review

Sorry, what should I be looking at on there? If you want evidence for eating high-carb vegan over low-carb keto, read dietary guidelines from any non-profit nutritional or health authority. They all uniformly and strongly advise people away

The citations don't support your conclusion, and neither does the entire paper itself. At best, it shows whole olives are a healthy food to eat from time to time. How can you possibly reason extracting, refining, processing and heating

Well, can you explain how adding any saturated fat improves a meal, or not?

If the goal is to lose weight, the minimum which ought to be done is replacing fats (9 calories per gram) with carbohydrate (4 calories per gram). That's why eating a potato over nuts is recommended (not that you shouldn't eat nut

Firstly, it's mostly monounsaturated fats, which are not necessary in a diet. In order to justify pouring olive oil on a meal, it would have to be really nutrient dense, but nothing could be further from the truth.

Olive oil is NOT healthy. Can you explain how pouring saturated fat on a meal is supposed to improve it? Please show me where the consensus that olive oil is "good for you" is claimed to be reached.

What's wrong with potatoes? Why is getting calories from starch not ideal? Please link to peer reviewed research which supports these hypotheses.

You crave more because complex carbohydrates - starchy vegetables - are the food you're supposed to be eating. Have a look at Starch Solution by John McDougall, either the actual book or any videos on YouTube about it.
