Plant Based Briefing
After a Prostate Cancer Diagnosis Spurred Me to Go Plant-Based, I Feel Like the Energizer Bunny The doctors recommended a regimen of chemotherapy drugs, warning me of side effects including fatigue and weight gain. When I asked what would happen if I didn’t take the drugs, they said most likely I’d be bed-ridden and in lots of pain within 12 to 18 months. It was a grim picture either way. Of course, I chose to take the drugs. I also underwent radiation for cancer in my ribs and prostate. Listen to the success story written by Michael Andrus at ForksOverKnives. #vegan #plantbased...

Plant Based Briefing
Do Brain Supplements Work? Sorting The Evidence From The Marketing “For most healthy adults, brain supplements don't work. Nootropics like ginkgo biloba and lion's mane have failed to show meaningful cognitive benefit in rigorous trials. Supplements do earn their place in one situation: correcting a genuine nutrient deficiency, such as low vitamin B12 or vitamin D. Beyond that, the effect sizes are small, and sleep, movement and food do far more.” Listen to today’s episode written by Drs Ayesha & Dean Sherzai at @thebraindocs. #vegan #plantbased #plantbasedbriefing #braindocs...

Listen to today’s 11-min episode in advance of the Kentucky Derby this weekend. I was shocked to learn about this. The horse racing industry has so many evil similarities to the dairy industry!
“Above all else, horse racing is a business. From cradle to grave, racehorses live tortured, terrifying, brutal, and completely thankless lives. It’s not for the love of the sport, and certainly not for the love of the horse. It’s for the love of money.“
By Emily Moran Barwick at BiteSizeVegan.org. Part 2 of 2.
