I’m all for condemning the Standard American Diet’s refined carbs, “nonhuman mammalian milk,” and junk foods, but proscribing legumes is a mistake. Check out some of the pros and cons to paleo-like diets in the video "Paleo Diet Studies Show Benefits" at http://bit.ly/2EFPL1p.

After about age 20, we may have all of the insulin-producing beta cells we’re ever going to get. If we lose them, we may lose them for good. Autopsy studies show that we may have already killed off half of our beta cells by the time type 2 diabetes is diagnosed.

Fat breakdown products can interfere with the function of beta cells and ultimately lead to their death. A chronic increase in fat levels in the blood can be harmful to our pancreas. It’s not just any fat, though, but saturated fat. Indeed, saturated fats are harmful to our insulin-producing beta cells in our pancreas.

Saturated fats, like palmitate, which is found mostly in meat, dairy, and eggs, cause insulin resistance, whereas unsaturated fats, like oleate, which is found mostly in nuts, olives, and avocados, may actually improve insulin sensitivity. This may explain why those eating plant-based diets have less fat buildup in their muscle cells and less insulin resistance.

Cholesterol is harmful, too. The uptake of bad LDL cholesterol can cause beta cell death as a result of free radical formation. What can we do? Cutting down on animal products and eating a plant-based diet may help reduce our intake of saturated fat and cholesterol.

I’ve talked about the effects of these estrogens and progesterone in men and prepubescent children: how milk intake can spike estrogen levels within hours of consumption. But in terms of effects on women, I talked about the increased endometrial cancer risk in postmenopausal women, but what about reproductive-age women? Might dairy hormones affect reproduction?

Dropping meat, dairy, and sugary foods from your diet in favor of pulses, whole grains, fruit, and vegetables could increase life expectancy

The four major dietary quality scoring systems have all been associated with extending lifespan and lowering heart disease and cancer mortality. What do they have in common? Only four things: more fruits, more vegetables, more whole grains, and more nuts and beans.

We know vegetarians live longer, but would just moving along the spectrum towards more plants yet not fully embracing a pure vegetarian* diet actually enable people to live longer?

Yes. The famous PREDIMED study created a pro-vegetarian scoring system. The maximum pro-vegetarian score is 60, but scoring just 40 or more was associated with a 40 percent drop in mortality. One can get a significant survival benefit without completely shifting to the exclusive consumption of plant foods. A 41 percent drop in mortality rates in the United States, for example, would mean saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans every year.

* Dr. Greger prefers the term “whole food, plant-based” since it’s defined by what you eat, not by what you don’t eat. When he taught at Cornell, he had “vegan” students who lived off of French fries and beer. Vegan does not necessarily mean health-promoting.

Why are the nitrates and nitrites we get from eating vegetables okay, but the nitrates and nitrites from vegetables in meat linked to cancer?

Because the actual carcinogens are not nitrites, but nitrosamines and nitrosamides. In order to turn nitrites into nitros-amines and nitros-amides in our stomach, we need amines and amides, which are concentrated in animal products. Vitamin C and other antioxidants in plant foods block the formation of these carcinogens in our stomach. That’s why we can safely benefit from the nitrates in vegetables without the cancer risk.

Nitrates from plants are converted into nitric oxide in the body, and potassium increases nitric-oxide release. So, including foods high in nitrates and potassium, such as green leafy veggies, can help lower blood pressure and improve arterial function.
