Plant-based articles: What do doctors say?
Here we will explore plant-based articles written by professionals such as doctors, scientists, and nutritionists. Dr. T Colin Campbell explains in this article where the term “whole food, plant-based” comes from and how it differs from “vegan”. Dr. Campbell (shown below) not only is a doctor, but also a scientist and is the author of The China Study. You can learn more about that book and research below!
Along with Dr. Campbell, another plant-based enthusiast is Dr. Neal Barnard who founded the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and wrote a fantastic book called The Vegan Starter Kit.
