My general position is I just want people to eat more plants. I think that from what I've seen,

0:37.4

the more plants the better. And we see that in the data as well. More plants we eat the better.

0:42.4

So it doesn't have to be plant exclusive, but plant predominant is definitely important for overall health.

0:49.4

The way I see it based on the research is that the plant-based diet is abundant in nutrients.

0:56.4

As long as you're choosing a large variety of fruits, veggies, whole grains, beans, nuts, seeds, tofu,

2:30.4

She is also the author of the plant-powered doctor, a primer on the power of plant-based nutrition to prevent and reverse many common chronic illnesses from diabetes and heart disease to obesity, and the science that explains why it works.

2:46.4

More on Gemma and the conversation to come in a bit, but first.
