We’ve been told that a vegetarian diet can feed the hungry, honor the animals, and save the planet. Lierre Keith believed in that plant-based diet and spent twenty years as a vegan. But in The Vegetarian Myth, she argues that we’ve been led astray - not by our longings for a just and sustainable world, but by our ignorance. e truth is that agriculture is a relentless assault against the planet, and more of the same won’t save us. In service to annual grains, humans have devastated prairies and forests, driven countless species extinct, altered the climate, and destroyed the topsoil - the basis of life itself....

If you’re eating a healthy diet and you’re still dealing with fatigue, inflammation, anxiety, recurrent injuries, or chronic pain, the problem could be your spinach, almonds, sweet potatoes, and other trusted plant foods. And your key to vibrant health may be quitting these so-called superfoods. After suffering for decades from chronic health problems, nutrition educator Sally K. Norton, MPH, discovered that the culprits were the chemical toxins called oxalates lurking within her “healthy,” organic plant-heavy diet.

Most diet books teach you to set short-term weight loss goals. Whether low-carb or low-fat, the typical plan goes like this: restrict your food choices, exercise until exhaustion, and swallow stacks of supplements. These “solutions” do a better job of lightening your wallet than lightening you. Meanwhile, the healthcare industry fails to prevent chronic disease. Rather than showing people how to remain healthy and prevent illness through proper nutrition, the system offers drugs and surgery to manage symptoms.

Before the discovery of insulin, diabetes was treated almost exclusively through diet, from subsistence on meat, to reliance on fats, to repeated fasting and near-starvation regimens. After two centuries of conflicting medical advice, most authorities today believe that those with diabetes can have the same dietary freedom enjoyed by the rest of us, leaving the job of controlling their disease to insulin therapy and other blood-sugar-lowering medications.

Taubes argues that the problem lies in refined carbohydrates, like white flour, easily digested starches, and sugars, and that the key to good health is the kind of calories we take in, not the number.

What studies clearly now show - and what Dr. B preaches with his patients - is that gut health is the key to boosting our metabolism, balancing our hormones, and taming the inflammation that causes a host of diseases.

Heart disease is the number-one killer. However, traditional heart disease protocols - with their emphasis on lowering cholesterol - have it all wrong. Emerging science is showing that cholesterol levels are a poor predictor of heart disease and that standard prescriptions for lowering it, such as ineffective low-fat/high-carb diets and serious, side-effect-causing statin drugs, obscure the real causes of heart disease. The Great Cholesterol Myth reveals the real culprits of heart disease.

Publisher's Summary
Plant-based is best for health, go vegan to help save the planet, eat less meat.... Almost every day we are bombarded with the seemingly incontrovertible message that we must reduce our consumption of meat and dairy—or eliminate them from our diets altogether.
But what if the pervasive message that the plant-based diet will improve our health and save the planet is misleading—or even false? What if removing animal foods from our diet is a serious threat to human health, and a red herring in the fight against climate change.
In The Great Plant-Based Con, Jayne Buxton demonstrates that each of these 'what-ifs' is, in fact, a reality. Drawing on the work of numerous health experts and researchers, she uncovers how the separate efforts of a constellation of individuals, companies and organisations are leading us down a dietary road that will have severe repercussions for our health and wellbeing, and for the future of the planet.
The Great Plant-Based Con is neither anti-plant nor anti-vegan—it is a call for us to take an honest look at the facts about human diets and their effect on the environment. Shocking and eye-opening, this book outlines everything you need to know to make more informed decisions about the food you choose to eat.

Everyone should read this book!
A paradigm shifting book. READ this book if you are thinking of going vegan or plant based or you are in the medical field. It showcases essential knowledge and education which we all need to know about plant based diets. The only negatives were very little was discussed about fibre. I would have liked to have heard a discussion about it. I wasn't a fan of the narrator of this book, but it didn't stop me from listening. Other than these things, the book is definitely the best I've read on plant based diets with an objective perspective. A huge MUST read!!

WELL RESEARCHED & INFORMATIVE
Excellent book highlighting:
- the nutritional value of meat in our diet,
- the overlooked value of regenitive farming for the environment and global warning,
- the perils of solely eating vegetables, grains, carbs & sugar for nutrition
- the manipulation of public opinion from pro-vegatarian groups and their persuasive infiltration into big Food companies, our educational system, Big Pharma, govt agencies etc
My only con was the pronunciation of certain words in the audible book like Methane! It's meh-thayn NOT Me-thayn !!!!!
I now need the hardcopy of this book for notes & my library!!
A must read for healthcare workers, dieticians and anyone invested in their health & the health of the planet!!!

Much needed book.
Loved it. Very important book in this day and age. There's a lot of misinformation about how to eat and the food industry as a whole. This book shines a light on that misinformation and makes sense of how we should be feeding ourselves for health, environment, and vitality.
It also exposes a lot of "behind the scenes" action leading to this misinformation.

Not very good at all
this book is great if you engage your confirmation bias.
Written like a university paper, where one is just looking for sources to defend a topic. most of those sources are anecdotal from the same handful of individuals/research papers. Drs Saladino, Baker, Van Fleet come up over and over again. Saladino has a book - Carnivore MD which is the lowest rated book on nutritional studies on Red Pen Reviews.com so I'm skeptical about these reoccuring sources and their legitimacy. I suspect they make better influencers than reliable resources.
the author many times expresses how epidemiology is poor evidence, but does not hesitate to turn to epidemiology to support a point she is making.
The author slips deceptive language to frame an argument. i.e. "grassland is better than SOME trees at carbon sequestration" - what is "some" trees? how many? Some is not the majority either. it's very misleading and ambiguous.
I stopped listening with about 3 hours to go. She begins to take a populist turn about how religion and "global elites" are pulling strings behind the global nutrional curtain. I am familiar with the Dairy and Egg industry and some of their lobbying efforts, but I have never heard of big broccoli paying off congressmen.
this book will appeal to a targeted audience. I'm not sure it will age well once reviewed by nutritional researchers, as I question some of the sources used.
I think this book is best used for a handy reference guide to antagonize vegans in social media debates, but that's about as far as it goes
