Dr Ornish and Spectrum
Posted: Sat Mar 22, 2008 9:03 pm
I know Dr Ornish, Dr Essylsten, Dr McDougall, Campbell were pretty much on the same page and recommended plant based, whole food vegetarian diet and advised against dairy, meat, fish, oil, high fat, dietary cholesterol etc.
I have just finished reading first chapter from Dr Ornish's Spectrum and puzzled and confused and may be someone here can clarify it further.
In the book, Ornish says, he feeds a fish to his son twice a week.
He also highlights how one can get omega-3 from canola oil and nuts and seeds.
So what happened to no food which has a face or mother? No oil? no diary? etc
Just curious whether he changed his position? and whether he did it for a reason because of advancement in nutritional knowledge over the course of last so many years.
If this is not a right question to ask here then I will remove the thread but I believe it is important that people know why, what, how, when?
