A Doctor has already come out and said Layne's 'rebuttal' is not worth the piece of paper it is written on. Reports funded by egg & dairy, his PHD advisor funded by National Cattlemans Association etc etc
Just passing on what I read, dont shoot the messenger
Who is this doctor? You’re just posting regurgitated judgements instead of going over the information yourself, Layne is a PH.D himself with B.S in Biochemistry and PH.D in Nutritional Science, he has worked with hundreds if not thousands of athletes and some of them are Vegan.. He states all of this in his article and says he doesn’t have a problem with Vegan dieting just the bullshit in the film, you seem really attached and childish about your little movie.. He also states that some of HIS STUDIES that he was involved in were funded by the companies you posted above but the 63 studies he posted are all referenced and peer reviewed. You should take the time to go read it instead of criticizing because “some doctor on the internet” said otherwise with zero references or studies....
The China Study aka the largest study ever on the topic pretty much proves this theory, that eating animal based proteins is worse for your body than plant based proteins. I don’t think this is up for discussion.
Would I ever go vegan? No, probably not
Did I watch the gamechangers? Yeah for 30 minutes then turned it off like the rest of us.
Do I think there’s a motive or money behind the movie to change or brainwash the general population? Sure I do
Do I still think there’s truth to the matter? Yes, definitely
Just like with anything, the truth lies somewhere in-between. But I’m not naive enough to think all things being equal, eating red meat is just as healthy as eating a salad/beans/quinoa. Sorry don’t buy it.
If your goal is longevity a 100% plant based diet would be the most optimal diet all thighs being considered. But damn does a tomahawk steak from Costco sound amazing right now
But did you read the article and studies Layne posted? If you didn’t then your point is the same and you’re just going by “hear-say”.. They could’ve done the largest study in the world and its useless if it wasn’t controlled as they did the one posted in the article...
Just like the studies from back in the days about meat being unhealthy, A LOT of the subject were unhealthy, ate processed foods, drank alcohol and smoked cigarettes yet the only correlation they talked about in the studies was that they ate meat... This is a documented fact about how those studies happened and were funded by conflict of interest companies as well...
