After Years of Arthritis, I'm Pain-Free on a Plant-Based Diet Delores Rich struggled with arthritis pain for years, but on a plant-based diet, she’s been symptom-free 5 years. Read her firsthand account.

I’m all for condemning the Standard American Diet’s refined carbs, “nonhuman mammalian milk,” and junk foods, but proscribing legumes is a mistake. Check out some of the pros and cons to paleo-like diets in the video "Paleo Diet Studies Show Benefits" at http://bit.ly/2EFPL1p.

The Environmental Impacts of Plant-Based Meat Substitutes | NutritionFacts.org Environmental assessment of 50 different plant-based meats show them to be vastly more sustainable.

After about age 20, we may have all of the insulin-producing beta cells we’re ever going to get. If we lose them, we may lose them for good. Autopsy studies show that we may have already killed off half of our beta cells by the time type 2 diabetes is diagnosed.

Fat breakdown products can interfere with the function of beta cells and ultimately lead to their death. A chronic increase in fat levels in the blood can be harmful to our pancreas. It’s not just any fat, though, but saturated fat. Indeed, saturated fats are harmful to our insulin-producing beta cells in our pancreas.

Saturated fats, like palmitate, which is found mostly in meat, dairy, and eggs, cause insulin resistance, whereas unsaturated fats, like oleate, which is found mostly in nuts, olives, and avocados, may actually improve insulin sensitivity. This may explain why those eating plant-based diets have less fat buildup in their muscle cells and less insulin resistance.

Cholesterol is harmful, too. The uptake of bad LDL cholesterol can cause beta cell death as a result of free radical formation. What can we do? Cutting down on animal products and eating a plant-based diet may help reduce our intake of saturated fat and cholesterol.

I’ve talked about the effects of these estrogens and progesterone in men and prepubescent children: how milk intake can spike estrogen levels within hours of consumption. But in terms of effects on women, I talked about the increased endometrial cancer risk in postmenopausal women, but what about reproductive-age women? Might dairy hormones affect reproduction?
