Disease free...FOREVER??? Is this possible?

My husband grew up in a vegan community, diseases still happened, people still died.

Dr. Joel Fuhrman has a few books out that address what you're saying. I know one is Eat to Live and another is Disease Proof Your Child. He doesn't say that you have to be completely vegan (though he is), but he does advocate eating a lot fewer animal products than the average American eats. I read Eat to Live and found it very interesting with a lot of compelling arguments. On the other hand, I found some of his conclusions to be a little far-fetched. Seemed that co-incidence was considered causation, etc. Then again, I didn't read the original studies, but based on how he explained things, I saw some "apples to oranges comparisons".

I have a mental B.S. sensor that frequently lights up when reading 'scientific' nutrition articles. Specifically, it lights up in the absence of the following statement: 'I don't know'. To me, those three words are the first and most important insights into scientific inquiry. They are frequently the first things that go out the window when somebody starts selling something.

I want to be a vegan. That way I can get all those awesome vegan powers. Like glowing hair. And telekinesis. Everyone knows that we only use 10% of our brains because the rest are filled with curds and whey.
