Spot on:
- Dr. Michael Greger has dedicated his career to studying how lifestyle choices can help us live longer.
- As well as eating a whole-food plant-based diet, he takes supplements daily.
- These include vitamin B12, which he recommends anyone following a plant-based diet take.
Ironically, I’d read one of his books on the topic and he only mentioned B-12, twice on page 276 and I didn’t know the seriousness of the need to take B-12. But overall, he’s fair.
My story: The Accidental Vegetarian – Coldstreams – and details on the health problems I developed after gradually stumbling into eating largely vegetarian.
If you intend to be a mostly plant-based eater, and especially if you are older (over 40), mention this to your doctor and do consult with a nutritionist. Follow the advice of your doctor and nutritionist. Do not do what I did – you cannot casually eliminate meat from your diet for an extended period or you may eventually develop serious health problems.
