I said in another thread that CardioB claims an ethical vegan diet is more healthy than eating animal foods, preventative of diseases of meat eaters, and better for the environment. She says this in a YouTube vid from 2019:

Some quotes:

“Over the past six to nine months I've seen patients who have full-blown diabetes go off of their insulin completely. I’ve seen patients with hypertension that have been a multiple antihypertensives for years come off of all their medications.”

“We have no data to show us that we need animal products and that animal products help us. We only have data to show us that animal products can hurt us and that are associated with more chronic disease more hypertension or diabetes more coronary artery disease …

and more cancers. So do we need any animal products? No.”

“She is dedicated to being a cardiologist that in addition traditional medicine focuses on lifestyle modification and of course a plant-based diet in order to prevent heart disease.”

💥prevent?

"I've been plant-based my entire adult life I started out being very interested in plant-based diet from a health perspective from a medical perspective especially when I was in medical school I started to research it and look at the way it could help with chronic disease and …

then slowly but surely as I learned about the ethical portions of the animal rights movement and I became I'm a plant-based eater but I would consider myself an all-around ethical vegan"

"So what I like to say is there is zero data and zero research that shows us that any animal products make us live longer.

There are zero data zero research that any animal products prevent cancer, prevent heart disease, reverse heart disease, do anything for longevity. We …

have no data to show us that we need animal products and that animal products help us.

We only have data to show us that animal products can hurt us and that are associated with more chronic disease, more hypertension, more diabetes, more coronary artery disease, and …

more cancers. So do we need any animal products? No. That being s$aid do I expect the entire world to go 100% vegan of course that would I would love that that would make me nothing more than happy."

"So I try to get my patients to give up animal products say dairy or meat whatever they find that you know they think that they can give up I say start with giving it up one meal a day and then we try to move to two days a week and then before they know it they're finding it's …

easier and easier."

"We do know from so much data and evidence that the more plant forward you eat and the more you remove dairy and animal products from your diet, the healthier and more healthful the diet is. So the lower all cause mortality …

there is the lower chronic disease there is such as hypertension, diabetes, and all the ones I've mentioned, so we do know that there's a spectrum there and so we just are trying to encourage people in general …

to go more plant forward and just drop the animal products and processed foods.

💥animal products & processed foods

"I actually do an entire podcast episode on my podcast nutrition rounds called all about fad diets and we do a deep dive into the plant paradox which is so silly. We do … in carnivore we do a deep dive and keto and the truth is is all of these are just fads …

and veganism and going whole food plant-based is not a fad."

"When someone's on a keto diet they will have short term weight loss. They will have a short-term reduction of their hemoglobin a1c which is something we measure for diabetes. We have a short-term reduction in …

their higher CRP which is their inflammatory markers, but that is short-term and it's because of the weight loss that they get short-term on a ketogenic diet. The amount of saturated fat that you are eating on a ketogenic diet is just … will only contribute to mortality …

because the truth is … is that the way we look at disease … is no longer just based on these biomarkers although they are important. It's not everything we know that from eating high animal product diets that you are at a higher risk for colon cancer, you're at a higher risk …

for diabetes, regardless of how it helps your glucose in the short term, and the reason why is because of inflammation. We know that increasing the amount on animal products you eat increases things like TMAO, igf-1, all of these inflammatory markers and inflammation is the …

etiology of almost all the diseases I see on a daily basis. Inflammation causes coronary artery disease, it causes cancer, it can cause diabetes. So you know inflammation is really at the cusp of this, and your gut microbiome is the …

starting place for where everything in your body occurs."

"We know that saturated fat … I mean you just think about what saturated fat is is the sticky gluey substance that when we consume goes into our blood and it kind of like you know causes all kinds of havoc we know …

this is a fact. Why does this seem to be this prevailing narrative that we can consume as much of the stuff as we want and it's just magically gonna pass through us or we're not going to … where does this misinformation come from?"

"When you first start talking to people, and you say I want you to try eat no animal products for an entire month. People are so terrified. It's almost you're asking them to stop breathing … you know is not air … meat is not oxygen."

"If you look at what we are as an organism, and you look at our genetic makeup, and our and our digestive tract, and how we are as creatures, and you look out into the animal kingdom, and you and you know we're animals we just happen to be able to be build civilizations

and just and destroy planets but we're still animals. How is it that we have got to a place where we consume so many other animals. When you look at our closest cousins the chimpanzees and they eat a 99.9 percent plant-based diet."

I can't take any more. This video (one of many of CardioB's) is nearly an hour long. The above is from the YouTube transcript and I listed to a lot of this as well.

For CardioB (AKA TheVeganDoctor), "ethical veganism" comes first. Everything else follows.

Eat like the chimps!😳
