Summary
In this episode of the Plant Based News Podcast, we’re diving into three of the biggest conversations happening in the plant-based world right now. First, we explore the science of fasting and how one patient reversed lymphoma through a whole food plant-based diet and stayed cancer-free for over a decade. Then we tackle the heated debate over protein, with Stanford professor Dr. Christopher Gardner dismantling myths about amino acids and plant protein “quality.” Finally, we unpack the backlash against veganism: falling sales at Beyond Meat, processed food criticism, and whether the movement has lost its health halo.
