I think research is a good approach and would welcome hearing more good sources of information to study on this topic.

Yeah, watched it recently. I'm not convinced by the China Study. I guess that is why I brought it up... I don't think they isolate the 'plant based diet' enough - and it showed issues with non-meat eating diets..... that doesnt fully support a total plant based. I'm just raising it because I was a bit shocked by the Taubes…

I hear what you are saying. Heaps of grain/corn fed to cows is bad for everyone... takes heaps of resources to produce them, and then they make a lot of methane to boot because cows are not meant to eat corn. In NZ the cows graze on grass. So I definitely agree with you on the resource front. But maybe if everyone just ate…

Sorry, but I find the vegan and…

You should be very proud of your hard work and confidence in yourself knowing that you are putting your health and wellbeing first. Go girl!

I reckon, its pretty simple... humans are meant to drink water, and eat food... Sure, the odd soup or smoothie is okay, but juices , coffee and carbonated beverages bath your teeth in acid (bad for your teeth, bacteria love acidity) , and they are often high in sugar.

You really look like the real YOU now. So happy. Well done.
