1256: After a Prostate Cancer Diagnosis Spurred Me to Go Plant-Based, I Feel Like the Energizer Bunny by Michael Andrus at ForksOverKnives.com
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.

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 #brainhealth #cognition #supplements #brainsupplements #ginko #ginkobiloba #lionsmane ===================== Original post: ? ===================== Ayesha and Dean Sherzai are co-directors of the Alzheimer's Prevention Program at Loma Linda University.

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.

1236: Animal Liberation Is Part of the Social Justice Tapestry by Hope Bohanec at HumaneHoax.org
Animal Liberation Is Part of the Social Justice Tapestry To recognize animal exploitation as a justice issue is to confront our own participation in it. Veganism asks that we examine every day what we eat, buy, wear, and normalize. These changes reach into our habits and social relationships, forcing us to confront uncomfortable truths about our behaviors and practices. At the same time, this is precisely what makes it so powerful, because individuals are inspired to create meaningful change through everyday actions.

1233: The Quiet Acceleration Toward a Plant-Powered Planet by Steven Disla at NutritionStudies.org
The Quiet Acceleration Toward a Plant-Powered Planet “Social change often feels glacial, incremental, fragile, and at risk of slipping backward. History shows that transformation rarely moves in a straight line. Instead, it unfolds in waves, from slow adoption to steady accumulation, and then, suddenly, acceleration. Small shifts compound until they push entire systems past a tipping point. Today, as we confront converging ecological and social crises, the question is no longer whether change is possible, but when it will begin to cascade.” Written by Steve Disla at the T Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies. #vegan #plantbased #plantbasedbriefing #tipping point #plantpowered Vegan, plant based, plant based briefing, ======================== Original post: ========================== Related Episodes: use search feature at ========================= The T.

Rethinking Easter: Choosing Lentils Instead Of Lamb Easter is a time of celebration, family gatherings, and feasting. Traditionally, roast lamb has been the centrepiece of many Easter meals, symbolising renewal and sacrifice. However, as we become more aware of the health, environmental, and ethical implications of our dietary choices, it’s worth considering a delicious and nutritious alternative: lentils. These tiny, nutrient-packed legumes offer a delicious, sustainable, and compassionate alternative to lamb, aligning with modern values of health-consciousness and environmental responsibility.

Plant Based Briefing Social Accounts Have Been Hacked
My personal and Plant Based Briefing's social media accounts have been hijacked. Scammers are impersonating me trying to sell things, then interacting with people in DMs asking for deposits to hold the items. Do not give anyone money. It's not me. I'm locked out of the accounts and cannot get in to warn people, and they've turned off comments. If anyone gives the scammers money, please let me know at . The police are aware of these scams but can't do anything until money has been exchanged. Thanks, Marian

5 Lies We’re Told As Children About Animals
5 Lies We’re Told As Children About Animals “When we’re little, we’re taught to love animals – we sleep with stuffed cows, watch movies about brave pigs and loyal dogs, and cry when the baby deer loses their mother. But somewhere along the way, we’re also taught something else: to look away. To silence that compassionate voice within us. Here are five of the biggest lies we’re told as children about animals, and how they shape the way we see the world.” Written by Elle Flemming at VeganFTA.com #vegan #plantbased #plantbasedbriefing #infantindoctrination #humanehoax #humanewashing ==================== Original Post: =================== VeganFTA is a small team of vegan activists supporting all forms of activism.
