We do so through science, law and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that species need to survive. Why is the Center for Biological Diversity focusing on reducing meat consumption? When it comes to the causes of environmental destruction and overconsumption of resources, the meat industry is at the top of the list. Meat production uses massive amounts of water and land, and leaves behind devastating amounts of pollution and greenhouse gases. America’s livestock industry — particularly through grazing on public lands — is one of the greatest threats to endangered species and habitat. ============== FOLLOW THE SHOW ON: YouTube: Spotify: Apple Podcasts: Your podcast app of choice: Facebook: LinkedIn: Instagram: /episode/index/show/plantbasedbriefing/id/37236205

But what does the science actually show?” By Dr Ayesah Sherzai at @thebraindocs. #vegan #plantbased #plantbasedbriefing #braindocs #creatine #alzheimers #dementia #cognitivedecline ===================== Original post: ===================== Ayesha and Dean Sherzai are co-directors of the Alzheimer's Prevention Program at Loma Linda University. They're both practicing neurologists, scientists, authors, parents, and a husband and wife duo that know the value of healthy lifestyle choices and they’ve seen the impact that their NEURO Plan framework has in making the sick healthy and in taking healthy to the next level. They met as young physicians and in their first conversation learned that both of their grandparents had spent their remaining days on this Earth suffering from dementia. They vowed to do whatever they could to help others avoid this fate and build healthy minds and bodies. They conduct research, treat patients, and serve as professors at Georgetown University, Columbia University, the National Institutes of Health, Mount Sinai, and Loma Linda University, where they serve as the co-directors of The Alzheimer’s Prevention Program. They've worked with devastatingly disease-ridden populations and some of the healthiest people in the world – the Loma Linda 7th Day Adventist population (a Blue Zone community, defined by living measurably longer and healthier lives due to optimal nutrition, exercise, stress management, and social support.) ============================= FOLLOW THE SHOW ON: YouTube: Spotify: Apple Podcasts: Your podcast app of choice: Facebook: LinkedIn: Instagram: /episode/index/show/plantbasedbriefing/id/37095250

1085: Is There Really Pus in Milk? by Dr. Michael Greger at NutritionFacts.org Is There Really Pus in Milk? What does the “milk pus test” tell us about the U.S. milk supply? Dairy cows might normally live for about 20 years, but they are typically slaughtered for hamburger after they’re just a few years old when they produce less milk and their profitability drops. But another leading cause of cow culling is mastitis––udder inflammation and infections––which affects 99.7 percent of all dairy operations in the United States.
