Bible verses: if you're new to the Bible or English is not your first language, you'll probably prefer the NIV or NLT translations—they're easier to read. My faves: ESV, NIV, LSB.

[1] In the beginning, when man and woman appeared, they ate plants, and it was very good; plant foods are a gift from God; for Evolutionists: even the most carnivorous apes/chimps diet is 98% plants (beginning Gen 1:1, man 1:26-27, plants 1:28-30, good 1:31; gift Psa 104:14; apes age/ch:conclusion).

[2] Man’s teeth and digestive tract is frugivore (wth/1:09:24-1:11:02 & gc/43:50-47:02 & nf/frugivore @0:00-2:31).

[3] Pills: 61% of people take pills and 27% take four or more per day (news/pills).

[4] Meat: not the same today as in past, today it contains added hormones steroids and antibiotics.

[5] Carbs: primary source of energy for all life (biology/carbs).

[6] Early man: ate carbs, brain needs carbs (harvard/early-man).

[7] Sugar: nature's sugar good, fiber in fruit offsets glycemic/insulin spikes; man-made sugar is poison, more addicting than cocaine (fedup/26:12-33:10 & fedup/35:41-36:36 & nf/sugar).

[8] Fats: plant fats are anti-inflammatory nutrient-dense, low in saturated fat, good for heart and support weight loss; animal fats cause leaky gut and many diseases; Bible wisely forbids eating animal fat (age/ch:inflammtion & Lev 3:17 & for more, see animal-fat).

[9] Saturated fat: most inflammatory dietary component, hurts lungs and arteries; coconut oil: use sparingly or not at all (age/ch:oxidation & nf/saturated-fat & nf/coconut-oil).

[10] Cooking oils: are carcinogenic, linked to cancer; when cooking, use as low a heat as possible—higher heat = more nutrient damage—and use organic extra-virgin cold-pressed single-sourced olive oil; olive oil is the favored oil of Scripture, used in food and anointings offerings lamps (nf/cooking-oils & news/cancer & Ezk 16:13 NIV).

[11] Protein: all protein comes from plants (wth/1:05:09-1:06:20).

[12] Protein: requirements for optimal health is around 50g/day—men 55g women 45g; contrary to poular opinion less protein does not decrease muscle (age/ch:mTor & wth/1:06:21-1:09:16 & the great protein fiasco & nf/muscle).

[13] Excess protein: ups all disease risks, creates diabetes heart disease and cancer, increases frailty and decreases physical performance; less BCAAs improve health (age/ch:protein & wth/1:07:58-1:08:12 & nf/BCAAs).

[14] Calories: a small 12% caloric deficit improves mood, health, sex drive and sleep (nf/calories).

[15] Timing: time restricted feeding is best for health, an 18/6 window and ending eating before 3pm is the way to go (nf/timing & nf/benefits).

[16] Morning: chronobiology counts, more calories in the morning is best for health, and breakfast is called “break fast” for a reason (nf/chronobiology & nf/morning & nf/breakfast).

[17] Fruit: high in fiber and nutrients—the top two things for healthy eating; how much fruit can you eat? an abundance; variety is best, avocado is good (nf/fruit & nf/avocado).

[18] Vegetables: eat lots, buying whole is better than pre-cut, best cooking method for nutrients is steaming (nf/vegetables & nf/vegetables & nf/steaming).

[19] Nuts/seeds: fight cancer, promote weight loss, of all foods nothing beats nuts for decreasing risk of premature death; healthiest nut: walnut—high in antioxidants omegas improves arteries suppresses cancer (age/ch:nuts & nf/nuts & nf/nuts & news/nuts & top nuts).

[20] Greens: leafy green vegetables, per calorie, are the healthiest food on the planet, they lower risk of heart disease cancer vision loss block toxins help detox & increase muscle strength and function; eat fresh/frozen, preferably raw or lightly steam (age/ch:greens & nf/greens).

[21] Beans: are good for the heart, full of antioxidants, have many health benefits (nf/beans & nf/beans & nf/beans).

[22] Berries: high in antioxidants, fight cancer and brain/liver disease, help inflammation and muscle soreness; those who eat the most berries tend to live longest; blueberries are a superfood (age/ch:berries & gregor>die p85 p288 & nf/berries & news/blueberries).

[23] Juices: most juice extraction methods draw out the beneficial fiber and polyphenols so they’re not health promoting—except three: tomato, cloudy apple juice, and red orange juice; tip: always have juice with a meal to control sugar spike (age/ch:beverages).

[24] Spices: and herbs, have the highest levels of antioxidants; buy organic to avoid heavy metal contamination (age/ch:oxidation & top spices).

[25] ORAC: food antioxidant rating system, eating a variety of high orac foods is best; health challenge: can you eat 50 orac foods per day?

[26] Plant-based: foods boost happiness and improve productivity, so say yes to more fruits and veggies (nf/happiness & nf/productivity).

[28] Beef: has 450 drugs, antibiotics ammonia carbon monoxide glue; 90% of retail meat and 100% of ground beef have poop in them (wth/33:30-34:40 & wth/1:03:49-1:04:52 & foodinc/21:54-24:53 & news/beef & news/beef & nf/beef @1:58 & news/beef & here's grass-fed).

[29] Fish: have toxins, cause disease, are vaccinated & loaded with microplastics, and fed chicken (nf/fish & news/fish & news/fish & x/fish & x/fish).

[30] Eggs: raise cholesterol, hurt arteries, accelerate cancer (nf/eggs & nf/eggs).

[31] Dairy: increases fractures and cancer risk, and who knows what Bovaer does to humans (wth/28:35-31:10 & nf/dairy & news/bovaer).

[32] Cheese: most inflammatory food, it's basically thick cow pus (age/ch:inflammation & wth/27:45-28:35).

[33] Scavengers: from Lev 11 and Deu 14:1-21, do not eat: pigs rats bats hawks eagles vultures, scaleless sea creatures—frogs eels catfish shrimp crab lobster. all unclean animals in Scripture will harm your health, these guidelines come from God's loving wisdom and are meant to protect your health; plus, who knows what Sequivity in pigs does to humans? and pigs have superbugs. yuck.

[34] Food combining: aka protein combining, was disproved decades ago (nf/protein).

[35] Water: there are 300 contaminants in water, check your water by zip code; get a good pitcher, filter, or Berkey (news/water & zip check & pitcher or berkey).

[36] Tea: green tea is the best tea, it improves brain function and longevity; other good teas to drink: black tea, peppermint chamomile hibiscus dandelion rooibios and moringa (nf/green-tea & da/black-tea & da/peppermint & da/chamomile & da/hibiscus & da/dandelion & da/rooibios & da/moringa).

[37] Coffee: morning only is best, buy mold- and toxin-free coffees, paper filter eliminates cholesterol (news/coffee & news/coffee & nf/coffee @0:15-0:45).

[38] Soymilk: the healthiest milk, it reduces disease risk due to its phytonutrients; choose organic and unsweetened (age/ch:beverages & nf/soymilk).

[39] Soda: has many toxic ingredients, and energy drinks grow cancer (news/soda & news/cancer).

[40] Tonic: hurts vision, kidneys, and male genitals (nf/tonic).

[41] Alcohol: all intake is harmful, understand the j-curve and risks; in ancient time alcohol was used to purify water and was much weaker than it is today; Bible on alcohol: leads to dull eyes brawling poverty and ruin, yet it was Jesus' first miracle; be careful here (nf/alcohol & nf/alcohol & see Gen 49:12, Pro 20:1, Pro 21:17, Eph 5:18).

[42] Vitamin D: sunlight or supplement, reduces disease and mortality, treats depression and cancer, no tanning beds; dose: D3 2000 IU/day (nf/vitD & nf/vitD & nf/vitD & nf/vitD).

[43] Vitamin B12: deficiency harms blood gut brain and nervous system; everyone should take a B12 supplement, 50mcg/day or 2000mcg 1x/wk (age/ch:pbeating & nf/vitB12).

[44] Magnesium: super nutrient involved in 100s of reactions in body, it prevents disease treats insomnia and depression boosts physical performance (da/magnesium).

[45] Multivitamin: studies show most multivitamins don’t improve health, best to get nutrients from food; if you take one, choose one made from organic whole foods (nf/multi-vitamin).

[46] All others: 90% of supplements don't contain what's on label, better to redirect that money into healthier food (news/supplements).

[47] Organic: preferable to eat organic but not necessary, just eat as many plant foods as you can; with how much man is messing with food, more important to buy non-GMO than organic (nf/organic @4:50-5:40).

[48] Bread: eat minimally; avoid additives like bromate which cause cancer (news/bread & news/bread).

[49] Fiber: the most anti-inflammatory component (nf/fiber @4:00).

[50] Salt: has always been essential in food prep and taste; know difference between table salt & sea salt; himalayan salt dissolves easily in water, celtic salt tastes fantastic on food, use both; in Bible, salt was included in holy offerings and praised as good (da/salt & see Lev 2:13, Mrk 9:50, Luk 14:34-35).

[62] Bible foods: to enjoy: fruit vegetables spices nuts lentils grains bread honey (see Gen 25:34, Gen 43:11, Num 11:5, 2Sa 16:1, Mat 12:1); and to avoid: animal blood and fat, unclean animals (see Lev 11, Deu 14); note: this is not an exhaustive list.

[63] Freedom: you have the right to do anything, but not everything is constructive, so whether you eat or drink, do all for the glory of God (1Co 10:23-31); sometimes it's best to relinquish your rights for the benefit of others (1Co 8:13, Phi 2:3-4); you're free, now use your freedom to serve (Gal 5:13).

[64] It's all about food synergy ... I eat 1600cal, 115 foods/day. Can you do 50? 100? 150?

[65] The meat industry manipulates data (nf/manipulate), and healthcare industry chose greed & bribery over integrity long ago—example: dental industry changed its position on sugar from ‘causes cavities’ to ‘its not clear what sugar does’ after Coke paid them $1M (nf/greed & x/bribery).

[66] It's better to trust in God than man (Psa 118:8-9).

* Animal-based foods: Questions for meat eaters to think about… How many antibiotics are in meat & dairy? If the immune system is made in the gut & antibiotics destroy the gut, how much do meat & dairy hurt the immune system? … How many steroids are in meat? If someone struggles with weight, how much are steroids in meat affecting that? … How many hormones are in meat? And what is that doing to thyroid & mood? … Animals feel love & fear; studies show animal cells 'remember' horror forever. In today's horrific meat & dairy factories, how much dark energy is in meat? ... As one who's tried every diet since the 90s, and done keto & plant-based, I can testify there's nothing better than whole plant foods for health & happiness. I encourage you to try it.
