Autopsies performed on American soldiers killed during the Korean and Vietnam Wars revealed widespread cases of atherosclerosis, a condition characterized by severely blocked arteries, in young men in their 20s.
The blood vessels of the Korean and Vietnamese soldiers were relatively clean, and almost no fatty deposits were found in the blood vessels.

To give readers of this book credibility, I have no desire whatsoever to become one of those phony doctors who berate you for your "lack of knowledge" with complex medical terms and fancy vocabulary.
They will make money by luring you into the hospital.
But I came to the conclusion that I wouldn't make a single penny.
No, it might even make you poorer.
Let me be blunt.
Just do it like this.
Eat a plant-based diet.
Eat fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
It's that simple.

I want to convince you, no matter how long it takes.
All of this is because, as a doctor who makes more money by opening up your chest with expensive equipment and injecting you with all kinds of dizzying chemicals, and as someone whose father, father-in-law, and many other relatives are doctors, and yet who has seen them die so young, this is truly astonishing.

Among the 18 patients who faithfully followed our program for 12 years, not a single one had a worsening of coronary artery disease.
When they consistently kept their cholesterol levels within the safe limits, amazing things happened to them.

The most effective dietary habit for reducing arteriosclerosis is a plant-based diet consisting primarily of whole grains, root vegetables, vegetables, and fruits, which alone will meet the 10-15% fat content requirement.
These eating habits can help prevent the growth of tumors in the breast, prostate, colon, and uterus.
As long as the diet contains adequate vitamins and minerals, there are no reports anywhere that suggest that these dietary habits have any negative consequences.

The Bible says, "When desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death."
I want to replace that greed with appetite, and after appetite, I want to open the parentheses and make sure to add (meat, dairy, fat).
Then the Bible would change like this:
For when appetite (meat, milk, fat) has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

It has been revealed that erectile dysfunction is a symptom that inevitably appears when cholesterol levels increase, which may lead to vascular disease.
It is a very natural phenomenon when you think about how when the brain is in a state of excitement, blood rushes to the man's genitals, causing an erection.
Everyone knows that good blood circulation naturally leads to good erectile function, but I can't understand why people visit urologists for erectile dysfunction.
It has become clear that a plant-based diet can be extremely effective not only in preventing heart disease but also in improving sexual function.

A lawyer friend of mine once asked me this:
“Until you get a serious illness like coronary artery disease, you can eat as much fatty food as you want without any major problems,” I replied to him.
It is said that the first symptom that appears in one out of four heart disease patients is 'death'.

President Clinton has since shed 30 pounds of fat and is now incredibly slim, having never had any more surgery.
Of course, he was cured of the heart disease that had been so painful and never gained weight again.
