The Plant-Based Solution: America's Healthy Heart Doc's Plan to Power Your Health by Joel K. Kahn

This book is packed with info and sources. Hurray! The writing keeps it from being too dense; it reads like a personal memoir and not a thick nonfiction info-session. I went into this thinking I already knew a lot but I learned so much. I'm excited to try some of the recipes in it!

Den hade en del intressant forskning, men när allt är en viktfråga känner jag att man missar poängen.

This is by far the most comprehensive and detailed book regarding a plant based diet that I've read. Kahn gives example after example of research results and his own patients’ testimonies as to the positive effects of a vegan diet (he’s a cardiologist). It can be quite dense at times, but I appreciated all of the studies shown.
Kahn details how a plant based diet can lessen and even reverse many medical issues. I’ve seen first hand the proof of this through a few friends who are vegan (one had a problem with his heart/arteries and the other her thyroid). At times his examples seem exhaustive, but that may just be because there seem to be endless medical advantages to a vegan diet and Kahn wanted to touch on all of them.
Although the majority of the book focuses on the health benefits of such a diet, he also delves into the ethical and environmental benefits of switching to a plant-based lifestyle. I appreciated that he also backed this up with science, data, and research.
Near the end of the book he details a 21 day food plan with recipes for each meal. I definitely bookmarked a few to try as they all look amazingly healthy and tasty.
