Bill Clinton talks about going veg to reverse heart disease, so
he can be healthy in the years ahead to see his potential
grandchildren.
We also have this from ecorazzi.com:
"I'm trying to be one of those experimenters," said Clinton.
"Since 1986, several hundred people who have tried essentially a
plant-based diet, not ingesting any cholesterol from any source,
has seen their bodies start to heal themselves -- break up the
arterial blockage, break up the calcium deposits around the heart.
82 percent of the people who have done this have had this result,
so I want to see if I can be one of them."
Just hours ago, Ecorazzi received exclusive information from a
friend of Clinton (who wishes to remain anonymous) regarding
first-hand conversations with the former president about his vegan
diet.
According to our source, Clinton decided to adopt the diet in
the early part of May. While he does occasionally eat fish, the
former president otherwise follows a strict vegan diet.
What made him go vegan? According to our source, Clinton has
read many books on the topic, including books by T. Colin
Campbell, Caldwell Esselstyn and Dr. Dean Ornish. Although
losing weight was a benefit of the dietary change, the choice to go
vegan was about more than just losing weight.
"I've never known him not to say what's on his mind," says our
source. "And he knows quite a bit and likely has a lot to say about
the benefits of a vegan diet. He has read The China Study,
and he knows the issues. With time, I think it's likely he
could become the most outspoken proponent of a complete vegan
diet."
