In Vegan Myth Vegan Truth author McCabe tackles the myths, rumors, and lies surrounding the vegan diet. While hundreds of thousands of Americans undergo surgeries relating to cardiovascular disease, organ diseases, and cancer largely because they have eaten a diet heavy in meat, dairy, and eggs, some people consider the vegan diet to be extreme. What should be considered extreme is a populace consuming mass quantities of foods known to cause disease. Those foods include meat, dairy, and eggs, and those containing processed sugars and salts, synthetic chemicals, and damaging fats. What should not be considered extreme is a low fat vegan diet rich in raw fruits and vegetables, along with some nuts and seeds. It is a diet that infuses health. It greatly reduces the chances of experiencing what have become common degenerative and chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, MS, Alzheimer’s, Chron’s, arthritis, osteoporosis, macular degeneration, and kidney disease. What have become the common foods in America are becoming common in other countries. Because of this, rates of chronic and degenerative diseases are increasing globally. Incidence of heart attacks, strokes, diabetic coma, and conditions such as arthritis and erectile dysfunction largely can be traced to low quality dietary choices, and chiefly to diets rich in animal protein, unhealthful fats, clarified sugars, processed foods, and synthetic chemicals. Studies conducted by leading institutions around the planet are concluding that a diet free of animal protein and processed foods, but rich in fresh fruits and vegetables is a way of greatly improving health while reducing the risk of common diseases. From an environmental standpoint, a plant based diet is more sustainable. It reduces the use of fossil fuels, land, and water, improving the conditions of the environment and wildlife – and farmers. The animal farming industry, including growing food for farmed animals, breeding and raising billions of farmed animals, and then slaughtering, processing, shipping, marketing, and cooking the animal protein is a combination that uses tremendous amounts of land, water, fuel, concrete, steel, plastics, cleansers, and drugs. Most of the food grown on every continent is grown to feed farmed animals. A vegan diet uses far less land, water, fuel, and other resources than a diet consisting of meat, dairy, and eggs. Even typical fish sold in stores and restaurants are the result of using an enormous amount of resources. An increasing amount of “seafood” is being produced by massive farmed fish (“aquaculture”) operations using open water containment net pens and also man-made shoreline pools or “lagoons.” These practices cause an enormous amount of pollution. Fish farming is a leading cause of shoreline degradation and deforestation, and depletes wildlife diversity. Tremendous numbers of fish are being removed every day from Earth’s oceans, resulting in regional and total collapse of species. An increasing amount of fish are also being fed to farmed animals by way of “high protein” feed. This has created the situation wherein farm animals are consuming massive amounts of seafood, which is something they would not naturally consume. The UN and other organizations have identified the animal farming industry as contributing more to global pollution, global warming, rainforest destruction, soil degradation, and both ocean dead zones and acidification than all other forms of pollution combined. Many people are tuning in to the health and environmental benefits of the vegan diet. This book explains the benefits of the plant-based diet and details how to go about it so that vibrant health can be experienced. The human nutritional need for animal protein is absolute zero. The amino acids the human needs to form protein are contained in fruits and vegetables. Reconnect with Nature. Learn organic gardening. Grow food. Read this book.

Great book : much more information than expected.
This is a very well organized and well written resource for anyone interested in vegan, vegetarian, or simply healthy diets.The myth-busting information is my favorite and I wish I’d run across a book like this 20 years ago.As a side benefit simply, reading through these myths & truths will give people new to a vegan diet a wealth of great references and facts for dealing with the inevitable ( Don’t people die from going vegan / where do you get your protein / won’t you get fat ….) kind of questioning some people may encounter.BTW: It’s a big book, I have a long way to go but I love the book so far and highly recommend it.

Great read with amazing stats!
As usual John puts together another very informative and useful book. It’s a great read full of amazing statistics. One of the nice things about this book is you can pick it up and start reading on any page for a few minutes here and there and get great information that stands on it’s own. I would recommend this to anyone looking to improve their health, and most certainly to vegans that are forever having to explain or defend their diet.Hugh Cruickshank, owner of Raw-Foods-Diet-Center.com

Setting the record straight
One of the most frustrating things about nutrition is all the conflicting information from pseudo-experts that confuses people who want to eat a healthy diet. The worse offenders are obviously lowcarbers who ignore the bulk of scientific research, distort conclusions from scientific research or simply cherry pick poorly made studies to make their case. In this book, John McCabe writes another inspiring book, turns on light and clears up all the confusion about veganism and how to eat a healthy diet. Like all of his prior books, Vegan Myth Vegan Truth is well documented and provides a ton of helpful information to his readers. A must read for all vegans.

Excellent book!!
For reference, info and knowledge to de-bunk what we’ve all been fed via news, school, marketing, etc.. Recommend even if you’re NOT (yet!) vegan. We do best by making educated choices so learn the facts behind our decisions. Lots of references included to back up the info (and for independent verification).Highly recommend!!!!

Good so far
I purchased the book last week and it finally arrived. I’ve only read 20 pages into the book and so far I’ve been finding amazing facts about how veganism could change the world if we engage into it. The author quotes several intellectuals of their view in veganism and animal exploitation. So far, a great book. I will change my review when I finish the book. Very happy with it, specially because so many vegans are so wrong about so many aspects that they bring out something wrong and mischievous and people don’t usually take them seriously because of that. I’ve always wanted to be the kind of educated and skeptical vegan. I don’t believe everything everyone tells me and I knew this was the right book for me. As soon as I finish I will update my review 🙂

I thought Iâd write a review of this book partly because of a previous review asserting that it hadnât been proof read and was full of spelling and grammatical errors, and partly because it is a very good book. I heard someone say they wouldnât buy it because they couldnât bear to read a book full of such errors, so this warrants putting right.I think the reviewer making the above accusations could have been writing about a previous edition, as I havenât found any spelling or grammatical errors â and the one cited as being on the inside cover certainly isnât in my edition, which clearly states “…the truth is still the truth”.The book is a cornucopia of information, extremely wide ranging in its remit (being over 400 pages long), rigorous and well researched in its scientific assertions and presentations. It addresses health and nutrition, ecology and the environment, gardening and farming, history, philosophy and ethics, animal rights, the various arguments often used against veganism. The author comes over as extremely erudite, quoting from many disparate sources, with the book being full of useful bits of information and littered with great quotations from a wide range of people.Definitely recommended reading for vegans and those thinking of becoming vegan. I have permanent bookmarks in a number of places.

I love this book, it makes it so much easier for me to explain eloquently the reasons I choose to eat a vegan diet. If you can persuade meat eaters to read this book after watching the film earthlings it would work wonders!A huge amount of research has gone into this book and it shows. Thanks John McCabe!

Good book, I can’t say great because it has not been proof read. Very disappointed at the lack of a professional finished product. It is the worst book I have ever read in terms of poor spelling, poor grammar and an obvious lack of proof reading. There are hyphens in the middle of words that shouldn’t have them, there are poor spellings and there are some sentences that do not make sense at all. Very disappointing, I am not saying the content is poor or saying anything about the author but when you buy a book you expect it to have been proof read.This is inside the front cover (there were no spelling mistakes on the cover);”…the turth is still the truth”Another quote from the book (word for word, letter for letter);”While it is true that meat from grass-fed cattle is higher in omega-6 fatty acids than meat from grass fed cattle”
