Proteinaholic: How Our Obsession With Meat Is Killing Us and What We Can Do About It Audio CD – Unabridged, 16 August 2016

Amazing book. Must be read by all

good book with great information and insights but you can get this on the internet. most people are now health conscious and taking steps. dong know which America the author refers to which is eating meat v. fruits.

Although already a vegan and having read Michael Greger's 'How Not To Die' this book has been so useful in reinforcing the conviction, consolidating the knowledge and arming oneself with more facts around the science.This text is particularly good at debunking the common myths - such as vegans have weaker bones the meat eaters (the reverse has been proven). It provides good material to refute the stupid arguments and behaviours vegans encounter from the ill-informed. It takes 'conventional wisdom' head one and I just wish that so many innocent and conned friends and relatives will read this book. This book has so many q uotables. I particularly liked the discussion about the difficulties and challenges of research - the smoke analogy for example; e.g. researching tobacco impact in a world with 100% smokers , how does one prove smoking causes cancer? I've ordered copies for my sons - just hoping they read it. It's very readable so here's hoping.

An avid reader of plant-based nutrition books, I was thrilled to find this work. I have read Gregor, Forks over Knives, Ornish, and the likes, but they always left me wondering about protein intake. This is because I have Chronic Kidney Disease, Stage 3b. With CKD on the rise world-wide, I feel nutritional guidance should put more emphasis on protein intake. This book is the first I’ve found of its kind to address the subject of protein intake in depth. With the kidneys playing such an implant role in heart disease and diabetes, it makes sense to teach the preservation of kidney function through lowered protein intake, imho. The book does a convincing job of explaining why too much protein is implicated in obesity, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. As another reviewer said, this book seems to bring the science together. If all the other books caused me to dip my toe into the vegan pool, this one makes me want to dive on in. The author has a gift for presenting complex material in a readable, interesting fashion. His own struggle with health, combined with his expertise in bariatric medicine, makes him uniquely qualified to write this book. This is not a quick read, it’s over 300 pages, including a large amount of scientific interpretation and information on making the switch toward a plant-based diet. A small but tasty-loking collection of recipes is provided as well. I read the book on Kindle. I want the author to know that I appreciate the work that surely went into this book.

I’d recommend this for someone who is looking to lose weight and is curious about whether or not their protein intake needs looking at as part of their weight loss strategy. The science is well presented to the lay person and is not too heavy duty.The reason that I bought the book was to see if I could get some insight into my own protein requirements as a vegan. The book spends most of the time dispelling myths about the quality and benefits of animal protein and I didn’t find that particularly relevant for me. The book summaries by saying, roughly, “you don’t need to supplement protein, but if you fancy it, go ahead”. I felt that reading a whole book for that closing statement was a bit of an anticlimax.

A VERY informative book written in a very interesting way on a very important subject. An eye opener! Full of technical facts but presented in away that is easy to understand. Absolutely brilliant book as the heading says! I would definitely recommend it, particularly if you are considering taking Statins or blood pressure tablets or suffering from any serious illness. This book is amazing.

A brilliant book, packed with lots of information and statistics etc. I like how Dr Davies talks about his personal experience with veganism and included loads of scientific studies to back up his information 👍🏻
