Eating vegetarian food and its Implication on life.
Asthma in Children
Dr Greger reports on a study showing children’s asthma is on increase worldwide. But it differs from one country to the next. Environmental changes? Which ones? It turns out diet was biggest factor. Those that consume more fruit and vegetables have lower asthma rates. Can feeding our children properly result in lower cases of asthma? YES! Eggs also showed increased asthma. So reducing animal protein and increasing plant protein seems to reduce asthma drastically. Eat properly for our species and all major diseases are reduced or non-existent.
Why is this so? Well Dr Greger says the flora seems to increase our immune systems. Better immune systems will lower diseases. Diet is always a choice. Choose wisely.

Vegetable protein intake is associated with lower gallbladder disease risk: Findings from the Women's Health Initiative prospective cohort. (Eric et.al 2016)
Analyses were based on 130,859 postmenopausal women enrolled from 1993 to 1998 at 40 U.S. clinical centers in the Women's Health Initiative clinical trials and observational study. Women were excluded if they reported a history of gallbladder disease prior to baseline. Cox proportional hazards regression models, adjusted for gallbladder disease risk factors, were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for associations between energy-adjusted protein intake and gallbladder disease.

Abstract
Overestimates of the efficacy of surgical and pharmacological interventions for the prevention and treatment of chronic disease and underestimates of the associated risks may bias physicians and patients against lifestyle medicine interventions that can be cheaper, safer, and more effective by treating the underlying cause of disease. The leading causes of both death and disability in the United States are diet, followed by smoking. The food and tobacco industries share similar tactics to downplay and obfuscate the risks associated with their products, but physicians can educate themselves about the role lifestyle interventions can play in the prevention and treatment of chronic disease. For example, a diet centered around whole plant foods can be used to successfully treat angina and painful diabetic neuropathy and may help prevent low-back pain and Alzheimer’s disease, all perhaps because of a common underlying vascular component. The delay between recognizing the risks of smoking and effective public health measures may have cost millions of lives. Similar delays in stopping dietary diseases may cost millions more.

Excessive alcohol intake also has been shown to produce global reductions in methylation.
Chronic alcohol consumption induces genomic but not p53-specific DNA hypomethylation in rat colon.
3. Plant Protein and Animal Proteins: Do They Differentially Affect Cardiovascular Disease Risk?1,2
Nonetheless, current evidence supports the idea that CVD risk can be reduced by a dietary pattern that provides more plant sources of protein compared with the typical American diet and also includes animal-based protein foods that are unprocessed and low in saturated fat.
