7 teaspoons of sugar?! Really??
Great material, but I have some concerns: 1. 7 teaspoons of added sugar is A LOT! I don't see how a healthy diet can have that much added sugar, a highly processed product, every day. 2. If your diet needs to supplement essential vitamins and minerals in form of a pill, it's not healthy. Sorry. A diet should have everything available through nutrition alone. So maybe a small amount of fish, meat and eggs is actually important to provide the body with vitamin B12, omega 3s, calcium and iron. You can't get enough of these essentials on a 95 to 100% plant based diet. 3. If you are going to go for a totally vegan diet, you need some guidance as to what supplement. I don't see that in this book. So all these well intentioned readers want to go gun-ho on this diet, they really need additional support to ensure their bodies get what it's needed. So here we are again-a well intentioned lifestyle sell, but again it falls short. Don't get me wrong-I love all his books and I think there is a lot of good advice. I think there is a tremendous amount of misinformation out there. But, like everything else, take everything with a little grain of salt.

Save your money. Watch the doc.
Unable to access the QR code, must be outdated or obsolete. Disappointed at not having access to the additional links. As for content- if you’ve seen the documentary you don’t need to read this book, especially since links won’t work. The book itself arrived in great condition no complaints.
