Inflammation in the body has its genesis in the gut.  That’s a big leap for a brain specialist to take, to recognize that south of the foramen magnum are things happening that influence the brain.  We now fully understand that the set point of inflammation in the human body is dictated by the very bacteria and other organisms that live within the gut.

We want to avoid harmful chemicals in our personal care products, because it is a real problem.  On average we use nine personal care products every day, which exposes us to 126 unique ingredients.  The problem with that is that in the United States, the FDA has only banned 11 ingredients, whereas in Europe, they’ve banned over 1,000 ingredients in personal care products.

The fact remains that no culture or society has ever survived for an extended period of time on a meatless diet. While it would seem to be much easier to live and evolve without having to run around and kill animals, the truth is that we need the concentrated, nutrient-rich energy source of meat to support accelerated brain development—our distinguishing feature that brought us to the top of the food chain.
