Humanity is doomed.

Breast cancer is a dominant fear for many women. Fortunately, it’s also largely a preventable disease with the right diet and a healthy lifestyle. Contrary to what most people hope for, early detection by mammography causes more harm than good. Radical surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy are brutal remedies universally prescribed to women with breast cancer, yet they provide little survival benefit. Hormone manipulation is of some value, however the best and most overlooked approach for treating breast cancer is a change in diet and exercise.

Due to modern medical belief in early detection with PSA testing, diagnosis of prostate cancer has increased at least 10-fold in the past 2 decades. But many doctors will tell patients that testing does more harm than good because over 90% of men diagnosed will not die from this disease. Those few who have an aggressive form are usually far beyond the reach of current therapies at the time of diagnosis. Considering the terrible side effects of surgical intervention against the small likelihood of any benefit, the McDougall Program is almost always the best option for dealing with prostate cancer.

As someone who spends his days working with children with cancer, I can say, in my professional opinion this guy is a *kitten* idiot.

It's not April 1st yet. Could you please repost this on Friday?

McDougall's diet works because it a "restriction" diet. You only eat really bland food, and therefore don't want to eat as much since the food stinks. In general, most "restriction" diets fail in the long run because you'll eventually get sick of missing out on good tasting food.

Been there - done that - ain't going back! Not a healthy diet at all!

Dr McDougall claims on his website that he has CURED many people with severe ulcerative colitis by having them cut dairy out of their diets. Sure dairy is a common trigger but THERE IS NO CURE FOR UC except removing the entire large intestine which only stops the GI part of the disease (it is an autoimmune disease so there are other non GI symptoms).

One huge false claim and I only looked at one disease

McDougall Program Diet Reviews:
Read Why This Is The WORST Diet Book Written In The History Of Mankind

https://www.enlita.com/blog/mcdougall-program-diet-review-criticism

Grade: F Dr. McDougall writes a book based on misinformation (hogwash) in a attempt to convert you to his vegan (no animal products) agenda.

In summary, the McDougall Program is basically false propaganda to convert people to veganism. I am not opposed to veganism but I am opposed to the misinformation that was presented by Dr. McDougall.

anytime i see someone refer to veganisim as some kind of agenda i can't help but roll my eyes and laugh



dont mind me just making my evil vegan plans

When someone claims veganism cures tons of incurable diseases, etc yes they have an agenda.

I have read quite a bit about Dr. McDougall and while I'm not sure if I agree with everything, a good deal of it makes some sense to me. When i experimented with it and ate according to his recommended plan, I actually feel really good, probably because fatty or oily foods often upset my stomach. I encourages veggies, which is a good thing! So to the OP, if you feel better eating this way, and you find you are meeting your personal health/nutrition goals, I say go for it!

Wow some aggression here lol. I don't follow his 'way of eating' I didn't realize that was a thing. But I do love his soups!! He has a ton of different soups and they are all cheap and amazing. I hear them up with the keurig at work!
