Thanks for this summary. I do want to review it later.
But for now, I just want to say that I am so glad you are working on article about Twins Study. I watched the movie and here are a few things I am concerned about. Many vegan foods are highly processed and contain starch of one kind or another (empty of nutrients, highly processed, no fiber, high glycemic index), emulsifiers and gums (both of which may have serious negative affects on gut microbiome). I would very much appreciate your take on how problematic emulsifiers and gums may be!!
Also the film left me wondering how in the real world people are going to be able to get sufficient protein (generally , as you stated, 2/3 to 1 gram per pound of a healthy body weight)! In the movie they said that even that young man who exercised a lot (the student nurse) wasn't eating enough food to meet his calorie needs and by inference I think they were saying he didn't meet his protein needs either.
Lastly, this movie made me go grocery shopping for vegan foods to try. But I didn't find a lot I wanted to put into my cart even though I went to Whole Foods and Mom's Organic Market. So, I would love to see a shopping list for the vegan foods that at least do not have problematic ingredients in them, like those I mentioned above, and of course, also no artificial flavors and colors, preservatives and other chemicals. Maybe we could crowd source such a list right here through comments or you can think of another way. I'll get this started:
Miyoko's Plant Milk Cream Cheese, Classic Plain
Miyoko's Plant Milk Butter
So glad you are doing all you are doing. You are helping a lot of people!
I was looking at the bottom of the newsletter and couldn't find the recipe for chocolate figs. Can you point me in the right direction. Also made the seafood chowder from your cookbook. So delicious.
This is so helpful, thank you!! Question: I’ve recently learned about the product CocoaVia and its supposed benefits for cognitive health . Have you addressed it specifically somewhere?

Can raisins be included in brain healthy berries?
