And medical professional opinions can vary greatly depending on the subject just like in politics. So as a layman I listen to all sides. I referenced Dr Kahn and listen to most of his podcasts as he goes to great lengths to provide supporting information. So if you can poke holes in his arguments then I will keep an open mind.

I do believe that people who are raised on a whole food plant based and exercise regularly probably never need a routine checkup. But there very few of those.

Other Doctors whose advice I have great respect for are Alan Goldhamer, Joel Fuhrman, Garth Davis, Michael Greger, George Guthrie, T Colin Campbell, Neal Bernard and Caldwell Esselstyn.

Golfing Eagles very interested in your take about what is taught in medical school on nutrition and vitamins. I am under the impression (and could be wrong) that the average doctor is not as knowledgable as he or she should be about vitamins.
