Crucial ingredients for acceptance of information we’ve never heard before
When we tell people that cow’s milk contains a powerful carcinogen, that animal protein causes heart disease, and that most E.D. can be cured with a plant-based diet; many of them often say, “Well, I’m gonna have to hear that from more than one doctor.”
Well, here you go — book endorsements from four prominent medical doctors, two nutritional scientists, two well-known women writers, a leading environmentalist, a seasoned lobbyist and a former two-time Fortune 100 CEO.
Publisher -- BenBella Books -- Oct. 4, 2011
Wanting to reach “mainstream” citizens of the Western world with the powerful “big picture” message in our book, we sought out well-credentialed experts who could grab their attention. The following ten endorsements and foreword will hopefully resonate with people in all walks of life. Our sincere thanks to those eleven people who have done their part to increase the likelihood that our primary message will be accepted by people who have never heard such information before.
Leading off our list of eleven, on the cover of our book (above the title), is a powerful endorsement from one of the best-known physicians of our time; he appeared on the cover of Newsweek in 1998 after serving as a consulting physician to President Bill Clinton since 1993. He was also the very first to prove that heart disease is reversible with diet and lifestyle changes alone. Here’s what he had to say about our book:
Dean Ornish, M.D.
#1.“What’s good for you is also good for our planet. Although heart disease and diabetes kill more people worldwide than all other diseases combined, these are completely preventable and often reversible for at least 95% of the people today by changing our diet and lifestyle. This book shows you how.”––Dean Ornish, M.D., Clinical Professor of Medicine, UC San Francisco; author, The Spectrum and Dr. Dean Ornish’s Program for Reversing Heart Disease.

My friend, Dr. Joel Fuhrman in his office in New Jersey
#4. “The same standard diet-style, rich in processed foods and animal products, and low in produce, that places people at high risk of heart attacks and cancers, is also rapidly destroying our environment. “Healthy Eating — Healthy World” reports on critical information you must learn to help ourselves and our planet.” —Joel Fuhrman, M.D., family physician, author of the best-selling Eat to Live, Disease Proof Your Child, and about a dozen other fine books.

Raymond Francis
#6. “Poor nutrition is our leading cause of disease. Yet the biggest impediment to improving our health is that most people mistakenly believe they are eating a good diet. With the costs of disease out of control and threatening the economic health of our country, “Healthy Eating – Healthy World” is a timely contribution, explaining in clear, easy-to-read language why our standard diet is making us sick, and how you can make simple choices that will improve your health, longevity and quality of life.
