Dr Zoë Harcombe addresses your questions

I recently posted a video interview with Dr Zoë Harcombe called “How nutritious are vegetables really?”

A lot of the information Zoë shared was news to me and I knew it would it get a big reaction from people. Specially from vegans and vegetarians. We’ve all been brought up to believe that there is nothing on earth more nutritious than a vegetable. But Zoë showed this is not supported in the data. As she keeps saying, this is not her opinion but simply the given nutrients in each food type. The simple facts.

I haven't watched the video yet, but this is not really news to me, because I've often looked up nutrition stats of various foods. (I started it trying to figure out why I craved certain foods - found my answer based on which nutrients were most abundant in the craved foods)

Just looking up nutrition stats for plant based foods vs animal based foods - there's just no comparison to the nutrients found in animal based foods. Plant based foods come up short every time - but it's even worse because of the toxins that are intended to deter plants from being eaten, not to mention the anti-nutrients in plants that keep you from absorbing the nutrients that are available.

Eggs are one of the most nutritious foods on the planet - they have to be, because they need to contain every single nutrient necessary to nurture a chick until it's grown enough to peck it's way out of the eggshell. There's no way to get more nutrients to the developing chick than what's already IN that egg when the hen lays it.

I've cut way back on fruit and vegetables starting about 5 years ago. I still feel healthy and don't miss them. My main intake of vegetables is coffee and tea and some berries occasionally. The dairy that I consume is in the form of butter and cheese.

Almost the same story with me; although, I also consume fermented dairy in the form of homemade kefir. It's better than yogurt, as it has more beneficial cultures and much lower lactose levels.

DH loves kefir, while I prefer Greek yogurt. And fermented fat, which is cheese in the western diet, is an energy powerhouse when we are in ketosis. Apparently, like coconut oil, it sends energy directly to the liver.

I focused on plenty of it this winter and I think I was warmer than I expected
