Why do you need to drink any kind of milk? What is the point of it?

What about olives? I know that olive oil is prohibited, but what about olives? I find nothing in the book on that.

I had the same idea once until I read the nutrition label in the supermarket. The sodium content of olives is very high. The next time you go to the supermarket, read the label and see what you think.

I also wonder why all oils are banned, but foods that contain those oils, such as corn are allowed. If I eat corn, am I not consuming corn oil?
|
It's simply to keep fat consumption to a minimum. Whether it's necessary or not is another story.

I also have Dr Dean Ornish's book though I haven't read it yet. I understand that he allows egg whites and some other animal based proteins. Does anyone have any experience with the Ornish program?

I read a few of his books and I seem to remember that one of his books offered a choice of diet plans. And the idea is to pick one based on what you are trying to accomplish.
