I would like to check it out. Guess it's not available until 12-5. Thx for posting.

For those that don't like to click on links it's new How Not to Die Cookbook by Michael Greger, M.D., FACLM with recipes to prevent & reverse disease.

Thank you @Nightowlz for describing what the link is, and giving enough information so we can Google it ourselves.

@QueenDanceALot

Wow....it’s so pretty!

Do you know who he collab’d with?

I’ve never thought of Dr. Greger as a chef/cook,

but you know the recipes will be good.

Plus it’s cool he is personalizing the copies.

Ever so often, there are job opportunities that open up at NF.org.

Would be fun to know you’re making a difference.

A couple yrs ago, Amazon was selling cookbooks with the title,

”How Not To Die”...and they were so obviously meat based.

Someone riding on the coattail success of the main book,

but Dr. Greger had to write reviews saying ‘I do not endorse these books..’ and ‘these are connected to NutritionFacts.org.’ Hopefully, since he’s better known today, it won’t be an issue. I also saw where he was filming

something for PBS. 2018 could be his year!

I have that on hold at the library to download. I try to eat at least one, hopefully two vegetarian meals every day.

More info in your opening post would have have been helpful, kitty. I wasn’t willing to use your link.

You can go to Nutritionfacts.org to pre-order

@sidsmom

I don't know who he collaborated with, that's an interesting thought. I just love him, though, and just from his book, "How Not to Die" it's obvious he does love good food.

I would buy his book just to support him and his work.

Sorry to anyone who doesn't click on youtube links. Just go to Nutritionfacts.org

@tansy

All the info I can really provide is that he supports a Whoe Foods, Plant based diet and that his site, Nutritionfacts.org is loaded with evidence based studies on nutrition. There are NO ads on that site to be concerned about. None.

ETA:

The Original Post is a YouTube link... or a Google link.

Two totally different animals.

You brought up a good point...just to ‘support him & his work.’

Another thought...to support the plant-based message, as well.

Sidenote...Dr. McDougall, who lives in Santa Rosa, lost everything.

House, cars, personal belongings...everything.

Our McDougall community was so quick to ask him what we can do.

It was so cool to see everyone, who has been saved, figuratively and

literally, by Dr. McDougall, want to return the favor & support him

for everything he has given us...free. As this time, he has graciously

turned down our donations, but it was heartwarming to see everyone

spring into action.

Seriously, I can’t calculate how much knowledge, recipes, support, etc.

I’ve gotten from Greger and McDougall...especially since everything

is free for the taking.

A $30 book? Even if I don’t crack it open, I’m buying.

@sidsmom

I just read that ALL proceeds will go to charity. That works for me, too!

So very sorry to read about what happen to Dr. McDougall.

Just the name of the book would have satisfied me, kitty. 😺

Sorry! Just wasn't thinking that some don't click on a youtube link.

Now you all know what book I was referencing. Am I off the hook now?

Re: New Cookbook!

Guess I won't post a recent interview with Dr. Greger, then.

It's a good one, too!

August 2 - Diet Doctor versus Big Pharma

Just listened. I could watch/listen/read his stuff all day.

At the end when he was talking about having the PB diet

as the default diet for everyone. That’s why I get so passionate

about the topic of diabetes...heart disease is such a strong connection...

it’s a 1-2 punch of general illness. If a PB diet can prevent/reverse (T2)

or even reduce insulin (T1), having a PB diet ward off heart disease

is just a ‘freebie’.

And the default aspect ties into the argument of

‘...but my illness is genetic.’ If genes are already stacked against you,

it just doesn’t make sense to ’taunt the illness gods’ by eating a

non-plant based diet.

Why doesn’t everyone want this?

Shouldn’t a plant-based diet be the default diet?

Yes, Dr. Greger, yes, it should.

@sidsmom

What do the doctors who know what the science shows say? That genes load the gun but lifestyle choices pull the trigger?

Based on people I know who are struggling with their weight or "minor" health issues just don't want to change how they eat. They figure that "moderation" is good enough, even preferable, but then go on to eat in "moderation" according to their own determinations about what that is, nevermind not accepting that "moderation" of unhealthy foods is still damaging their health. If their doctors even raise the topic of diet and nutrition (and how many do?) as a treatment plan or part thereof are they even getting sound information?

As Dr. Greger points out, many doctors just don't know about the WFPB diet proven benefits OR they know (more and more are becoming aware) and they won't tell their patients to follow it as they say it's "too hard".

And then there are still many who really would rather take meds than change how they eat. That works for doctors who don't want to argue with their patients and whose llivelihoods depend on satisfied patients. I have known people who "doctor shop" until they find the one who tells them what they want to hear (or keep quiet about things they don't want to hear).

Don't know if this answers your questions, just a few thoughts. I am sure there are more reasons, but I have to go now and do some stuff!
