I think his approach is the best paradigm of what we should be eating for optimal health. Foods high in micrinutrients,anti oxidants, fiber, low growth hormones . Refined grains, processed foods, and meats are the antithesis of that.

I prefer a large amount of growth hormone in my food.

I include all of that in my diet.
Even the antitheses, in moderation.
Works for me.3 -

I have a very all or nothing personality. I can't have any of that stuff in my house or I'll eat it. I have had far more success setting that boundary in the past year than I have had with moderation. My taste buds can't handle how jazzed up most foods are now.0 -

Good job finding what works for you! *high five*2 -

I have a low tolerance for fearmongering, so I cut that out of my diet

Not true. It does accelerate aging and cancers.

Fear mongering? More of a wake up call. We have a health epidemic in this country. Trillions wasted in diet related health care. 99.9% of it preventable. It'll get worse In the coming decades. That's not fear mongering, that's reality.0 -

Directly from the abstract of your study:Studies in mammals have led to the suggestion that hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia are important factors in aging.
You can include your "antithesis" foods without inducing hyperglycemia/hyperinsulinemia. Diabetes is a medical condition that is obviously going to take a toll on your health in more ways than one, especially when paired with obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and poor diet.
However, you can maintain a balanced diet and healthy weight while still including refined grains, meat, and processed foods. The key is understanding dosage and context and finding a balance that works for you.5 -

The mammals in the study did not have hyperglycemia. Every time you eat the 'antithesis ' foods, you rev up those genes and hormones. Moderation kills.
Btw, what's moderation? It's very subjective, and will change depending on who you talk to. People are terrible at being moderate if our health crisis is any indication.1 -
Also I'm talking about health, not weight. You can be 5'10 150lbs and still have any diseases.0

Meh, I'm in optimal health and I eat all sorts of 'processed' foods, as well as meat. I'm very happy with how I eat and I'm in excellent health with a bmi of around 21. I'm doing things in a way that's been sustainable for almost 4 years now and will continue to be sustainable for the next 40 2

Also, Dr. Fuhrman charges people money just to get access to many of the things on his website, which is 'interesting'. I have read his book though, which I borrowed from the library, and yeah-not impressed

Moderation as usually used on these forums means meeting your nutrient goals with mostly nutrient-dense foods while incorporating foods that you enjoy without exceeding your calorie goals. If you're doing it this way, it's hard to overeat any one thing to the point that it impacts your health.
If you're maintaining an overall healthy diet, having a Twinkie once in a while will not hurt anything, nor will a beer, a cookie, a glass of wine, a frozen mac & cheese - you get the idea.
It is clear that with the obesity epidemic that people are bad at moderating intake, but that includes intake of all foods.
Vilifying a certain food or food group is just not rational. Overall intake needs to be monitored for both weight and health.3 -

I thought "nutritarians" were people who only eat nuts.3
