I read the book in May of 2006. By the time I got to chapter 3 I was switching my diet to vegan. My father and brother died of prostate cancer, two Aunts and and a few uncles, and two cousins died of liver cancer at age 60. I'm sure I missed a few but there have been so many I'm losing track of them.
Being that I'm fairly flexable with my diet, switching over to vegan was not a big problem. It took about 4 to 6 weeks to get used to it because I had to rethink how I was going to structure my meals. Now after 7 years it's all routine (and enjoyable).

Do you think oil such as olive is healthy? see
It damages the endothyium lining of your blood vessels, in so doing plaque attaches to those damage areas causes Arteriosclerosis; Plaque buildup and high blood pressue, this is NOT debatable it has been proven. Ask Bill Clinton.

I have never heard that before and I do extensive reading. Of course Dr. Dean Ornish doesn't want heart patients to use any oil of any kind. I know that, but he never said that it damages the endothelium. If true, that's a surprise to me.
My ancestors lived in, and came from, southern Italy. They have always used extra virgin olive oil and there hasn't been any heart disease in my large extended family. I use it but only very little, like one teaspoon for lunch and one for dinner.
