If you were to ask me the biggest challenges in writing The Plant-Based Journey, I would have to say one of them has been this:
Keeping up with the daily flood of information about the benefits of plant-based eating.
News about easy weight management, longevity,
reduced disease, increased vitality, and environmental impact as the benefits of plant-based living – not to mention all the delicious eats – inundate my desk each day.
As a matter of fact, the very day the edited second draft of my manuscript was due at my publisher (January 5) I had to ask for an extra day because new information about whole grain consumption and longevity hit the wires.
How could I not include this little nugget?
Here is the information I stopped the presses for.
Evaluating statistics from more than 100,000 women and men over a period of about twenty-five years, researchers compared the participants’ whole grain intake with mortality data.
They discovered that for every single serving of whole grains (28g/day), overall death risk dropped by 5%.
And the drop was 9% for
cardiovascular disease -related death.
