## Resource

When Lander was diagnosed with cancer, I dove into nutrition extensively. One of the first resources I came across was The China Study by Colin Campbell, Ph.D., and his son Thomas Campbell, M.D. They break down their idea of a whole plant-based diet being directly correlated with cancer, based on a massive study performed in China. I initially implemented a no meat directive in the early stages of our plan due to the belief animal based proteins were harmful. But I never stopped trying to learn or question everything. As I observed the practitioners of different eating lifestyles, I always referred back to the mental framework of cause and effect. It became evident that many vegans (who eat only plants) and very strict vegetarians (who have a broader diet) had some downfalls. From the outside perspective, there is fatigue, pale skin, brittle hair and nails. What could be causing this is it's the “healthiest” diet? Anti-nutrients are substances found in certain foods that can interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients. Examples of anti-nutrients include phytic acid, oxalates, and lectins. These substances can bind to minerals such as calcium, iron, and zinc, making them less available for the body to use. It is important to be aware of the potential negative effects of anti-nutrients and take steps to minimize their impact on the body. This can include preparing foods in a way that reduces the levels of anti-nutrients, such as soaking, sprouting, and fermenting grains and legumes. The nutritional advice often echoed from many traditional trained dietitians is that we shouldn't supplement but get our vitamins, minerals and other nutrients from whole plant food. ### Common nutrients deficiencies in a vegan diet: B12 Vitamin D Omega 3 Iron Calcium Zinc Iodine ###…
