A major review co-written by Dr. David Katz, founding director of the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center and the True Health Initiative, wrote that: “A diet of minimally processed foods close to nature, predominantly plants, is decisively associated with health promotion and disease prevention.”[5]
The World Cancer Research Fund and American Institute for Cancer Research released eight guidelines in 2007. One of these recommendations is, “Eat mostly foods of plant origin.” Another recommendation is, “limit intake of red meat and avoid processed meat.”[6]
There are regions around the world where unexpectedly high proportions of people live healthy, active lives until age 100 or more. These regions are called the Blue Zones and include areas in America (Loma Linda, California), South America (Nicoya, Costa Rica), Europe (Sardinia, Italy, and Ikaria, Greece) and Asia (Okinawa, Japan). Although these regions are spread throughout the world and vary in many ways, some lifestyle characteristic are consistent, including a plant-based diet. For example, the traditional diet in Okinawa is 96% plant based![7] But the Okinawans are not the longest lived population in the world; that honour seems to belong to the California Seventh Day Adventists, specifically the vegetarian Seventh Day Adventists.[8]
