For Immediate Release

Little Falls, New Jersey – In the western world, Cancer, Diabetes, Osteoporosis and a host of other debilitating chronic illnesses have become part and parcel of simply living. While profit-fueled laboratories are working around the clock to try and pump out the next magic cure, one New Jersey physician is confident that the answer lays in one simple dietary change.

Stephen Holt, M.D. explains all in ‘Holt on: The Plant Protein Revolution’.

Synopsis:

Changing from animal to more plant protein inclusion in the human diet makes ecological and health sense. The Western diet has been criticized constantly concerning its over inclusion of calories, saturated fat, trans-fats, cholesterol, simple carbohydrates and animal protein. Scientists continue to enumerate the benefits of plant-based protein diets for the population at large, but only a limited number of people hear and act on this simple message. This circumstance creates a monumental task in any attempts to change the eating habits of a nation. While it is often difficult to pin-point the influence of certain or individual dietary constituents on health, it appears clear that strong carnivorous tendencies tend to breed ill health.

The over inclusion of meat protein in the human diet presents excessive intake of saturated fat and cholesterol and it contributes to excess morbidity and mortality from cancer, diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. While this book highlights the negative effects of excessive animal protein on health, it presents foundations to support the conclusion that a change towards plant protein intake will confer health benefits on the U.S. nation or much of Western society.

“The answer is extremely simple, start getting your protein from plants!” explains Holt. “If the west adopted this as a blanket change, I almost guarantee that occurrences of chronic illness, along with their death rates, will plummet. Animal protein has long been our go-to dietary source, but we’re now learning that the levels of saturated fat and cholesterol are simply too much to sustain long life and true vitality. It’s time to get back in touch with the plant eater inside all of us, and enjoy the levels of wellness we deserve.”

Continuing, “The best bit about it is that I’m not suggesting you start some complicated corporate diet with stringent rules that only deny you the foods you want. I’m simply suggesting that people start to switch out animal protein and other related macronutrients for plant protein. They can still enjoy the meals they love, incorporating plants where meat used to be. Humanity will be blown away at just how low we could get occurrence rates of chronic illness to fall to. But we must make that change, and make it now.”

With the book’s demand expected to increase, interested readers are urged to secure their copies without delay.
