  I suffered from metabolic syndrome (obesity, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and high blood sugar). I went whole food plant based no sugar or oil and low salt and I lost 65 pounds, all my conditions greatly improved, my gums stopped bleeding, and erections and energy returned. I used to have an appetite that was never satisfied; whole foods cured it. I no longer use a sleep apnea machine. Finally, the food is cheap-Beans, lentils, sprouted flourless grain bread, rice, oats, potatoes and seasonal apples. Also, I save money by not having to buy pills or visit the Doctor. I am thankful to all the vegans who suffered attacks to reveal the truth to me.

  Please Chris Gardner, keep releasing more films such as the twin study. Need more engaging films centered around nutrition and exercise and how it plays a vital role in our overall metabolic health and body composition. Brillant work you are doing, litetally saving lives like mines and all over the world!!!❤

  Chris from Plant Chompers is an extraordinarily skilled communicator. Which is to say, a scientist who just happens to know how to make really great content.

  Plant Chompers is just about the best channel around.  Chris is honest, truthful, and intelligent.  A superb role model.

  I have had a healthy diet for several years, but regret that I did not start sooner.  My old motto as a distance runner was "If the furnace is hot enough, it will burn anything".  That is so not true.  Michelle Obama's attempt at improving school lunches was met with outright rebellion.  She was on the right track, though.  We need to start eating healthy foods from birth.

  The BROAD study is a study of the Whole Food plant based diet: A randomized controlled trial (The Gold Standard of Studies) &nbsp;<br>Outcome: The WFPB diet can be seen as an effective, safe option for weight loss and chronic disease risk and quality of life improvements. Key foods included whole grains, legumes, vegetables and fruits. &nbsp;No mandated exercise or calorie counting was implemented. &nbsp;The WFPB group had a self-reported increased quality of life, they decreased their medication and blood glucose and their cholesterol dropped. &nbsp;The plant-based group had left the 3-month study 19 pounds lighter, but at 6 months were down about 27 lbs. The BROAD study, however, lasted only 3 months, yet the plant-based group not only lost significant weight, they kept it off. This study ran from August 2014 to 2015 and was extended to 2017.

  Thomas DeLauer is one of those influencers who attacked the twin study. He doesn&apos;t have much of a science education that uses science to trick people into believing that his high-meat, high-fat diet is healthy. He eats a lot of ground beef and had to eat at McDonalds while in Europe to get his daily pound. He believes ground beef is anti-inflammatory because it contains glutamine.

  Why look at LDL cholesterol levels when ApoB is a superior marker for assessing cardiovascular disease risk?
