 Eating too much cooked protein, especially animal protein, requires great amounts of pancreatic and stomach enzymes. It causes strong acid formation, liver congestion, kidney stress, adrenal gland fatigue, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and an overall depletion of health. Scientific evidence from the medical community has determined that the highest meat and dairy consuming nations in the world have the highest levels of illness and disease. |

 Patients were more compliant with recommended caloric, protein, and phosphate intakes on the Soy diet versus the animal protein diet (p<0.05). These results translate to higher caloric diets, which were lower in protein and phosphate that are essential for patients with chronic renal failure. Nine patients with chronic renal failure (glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 15 to 50 mL/minute/1.73 m2) completed testing in a randomized, crossover trial of 2 different diets. Both diets were low protein; one contained Soy and the other contained animal-based protein. |
| Soy protein diets may have advantages over animal protein in renal disease. Several in vitro and in vivo studies reported potential benefits of genistein in the treatment of cystic fibrosis and HIV-1 (Gozlan et al, 1998; Hwang et al, 1997; Illek et al, 1997).
Antineoplastic Effects: The chemopreventive effects of the isoflavone genistein may be due to its action as an estrogen agonist or antagonist. |
| Thirteen men with hypercholesterolemia and 13 normo-cholesterolemic patients (20 to 50 years) were randomly given either an NCEP Step 1 diet with animal protein or the NCEP diet with Soy protein for 5 weeks. Either animal or Soy protein represented 75% or more of the total protein in the diet. After a 10 to 15 week washout period, subjects were crossed over to the other study diet (Wong et al, 1998).

| The Soy diet also lowered blood urea nitrogen, urine urea nitrogen, protein catabolic rate, 24-hour urine creatinine, and phosphate more than the animal protein diet (Soroka et al, 1998). indications and usage
Approved by Commission E: ¦ Raised levels of cholesterol
Unproven Uses: Soybean is used for less severe forms of hypercholesterolemia when dietary measures are required. Soybean is also used for liver and gallbladder complaints, anemia, poor concentration, cerebral and nerve conditions, and general debility. |

 MEATS, POULTRY, AND SEAFOOD
These animal protein sources are your best friends during Phase 1, as long as you remember that the portion size should be approximately the size and thickness of the palm of your hand. That's right, no fingers, just the palm. You big-handed folks get a larger portion than you little-palm people.
However, as Diet Evolution progresses, keep in mind that these foods should be regarded as a topping for a salad or grilled vegetables, and not as the main dish. |
| Digesting meat results in a high metabolic rate, so they need to reduce it-or suffer the consequences-which is why they sleep a lot. animal protein is actually a terrible source of usable calories because the process of breaking it down into molecules your body can use produces heat that wastes about 30 percent of the calories. (In Part Two, you'll learn how higher heat production contributes to rapid and unnecessary aging. |
| To drop their abnormally high metabolic rate, caused by the breakdown of animal protein. If you eat meat, you'll generate heat.
Here's another reason generating heat is bad: advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which result from heat's bonding sugar to protein (which we'll discuss more later). Think of them this way: If you want a really crusty steak, you turn up the flame; the higher the heat, the crispier the meat. Unfortunately, the higher your body temperature, the more AGEs form in your brain and heart. You can even see them! |

Cwarhaiixo Beans (ehiekpeas)
Chickpeas are beans with a complexion problem! While other lentils and beans have a smooth-looking "face," chickpeas have bumps that, if you look really closely, resemble a chick's beak (hence the name?). But looks aren't everything. The chickpea was one of the first cultivated crops and is one of the most popular legumes in the world. |

 At the time, American cattle were eating about 2 billion pounds of animal protein every year-mainly the remains of other cattle. About three-quarters of all American cattle were being fed animal protein, and dairy cattle were the most likely to eat it in significant amounts. They were also the most likely to wind up as fast food hamburgers one day.
Spokesmen for the rendering industry asserted that the link between mad cow disease and human illness was "totally unsupported by any scientific evidence. |

Several dietary factors affect bone health and are involved in the development of osteoporosis: insufficient calcium and vitamin D intake, high phosphorus intake, a high animal protein diet, excess salt intake, and other mineral deficiencies. A diet that maximizes consumption of fruits and vegetables and minimizes dietary fats is beneficial for bone development.
Women older than age 65 who do not eat enough and women who practice frequent dieting
• Osteoporosis-related fractures will develop in almost half of all women older than 65. |
| While higher protein diets are found to provide enzymes for the detoxification pathways of estradiol,57 vegetarian diets are of greater value due to their lower fat content. animal protein diets, especially egg yolks, poultry, and red meat, contain large amounts of arachidonic acid, which promotes inflammatory prostaglandins and thus inflammation and pain. By enhancing your diet with vegetable protein, soy, almond and other nut butters, and salmon, you tip the inflammatory pathway toward anti-inflammatory prostaglandins that inhibit tumor growth—and possibly endometrial growth. |
| This meta-analysis concluded that consumption of soy protein rather than animal protein significantly decreased serum concentrations of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides.32
In terms of menopause symptoms and hot flashes in particular, I'm sure the three reviews are disappointing news for advocates of soy. It's important: to appreciate, though, that statistical significance is not the same as clinical significance for any one person. |

• Avoid falls and injuries.
• Get regular annual health checks; laboratory testing and bone-density testing may be appropriate.
• Consider hormone replacement therapy (bio-identical hormones or conventional hormones) if you have several risk factors.
• Take nutritional supplements for bone health. balanced diet, adequate calcium and vitamin D, regular exercise, not smoking, low alcohol intake, and fall prevention are important steps for bone health as well as other health benefits. |
| This metaanalysis concluded that consumption of soy protein rather than animal protein significantly decreased serum concentrations of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides.105
The use of soy for menopausal symptoms and heart disease protection continues to receive great interest from women, practitioners, and scientists. Most recently, a large meta-analysis of studies published from 1966 to 2005 found that soy protein intake was significantly related to decreased total and LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and increased HDL. |

 The first group (least sulfur) consumed soy products; the second (moderate sulfur) consumed soymilk, TSP, cheese and eggs; and the third (most sulfur) animal protein from meat and cheese. Those who got their protein from the animal products lost 50 percent more calcium from their bodies than did those who had only soy protein. The soy, egg and dairy people were in the middle. The researchers concluded, "The inability to compensate for the animal protein-induced calciuric response [meaning calcium in the urine] may be a risk factor for the development of osteoporosis. |

 Therefore, I was not surprised or disappointed by the diet high in fat and animal protein that my father was receiving while staying at the cardio center. After my dad's massive heart attack, they served him beefsteak with gravy and milk. Later, after reading a lot of books and articles about the importance of the proper pH balance in the body, I understood that the so-called "bad" cholesterol, lipoprotein (LDL) is made by our own liver in order to bind the toxins and deactivate the acidic waste that comes from certain foods, such as fats and animal protein. |

 Breakthrough raw, organic protein powders
I'm also bringing you news about two new breakthrough raw, organic protein powders that are based on plants, not animal protein (such as whey or egg). These are vegan, raw, organic and empowered protein products: One from a company you may already know, and a second one from a new company you've probably never heard of.

The FDA's vow to act quickly soon encountered resistance from the American cattle, meatpacking, meat-processing, feed-manufacturing, and rendering industries. animal protein was an inexpensive feed additive that promoted growth, and slaughterhouses produced huge volumes of waste that needed to go somewhere. At the time, American cattle were eating about 2 billion pounds of animal protein every year-mainly the remains of other cattle. |

 Basically what we did was heap a bunch more carbs onto our plate, obscuring but by no means replacing the expanding chunk of (now skinless white) animal protein still sitting there in the middle.
How did that happen? I would submit that the ideology of nutritionism deserves as much of the blame as the carbohydrates themselves do—that and human nature. |
| Meanwhile, in the shadow of these titanic struggles, smaller civil wars have raged within the sprawling empires of the big three: refined carbohydrates versus fiber; animal protein versus plant protein; saturated fats versus polyunsaturated fats; and then, deep down within the province of the polyunsaturates, omega-3 fatty acids versus omega-6s. Like so many ideologies, nutritionism at bottom hinges on a form of dualism, so that at all times there must be an evil nutrient for adherents to excoriate and a savior nutrient for them to sanctify. |
| The legacy of that revaluation is the breakfast cereal, the strategic objective of which was to dethrone animal protein at the morning meal.
Ever since, the history of modern nutritionism has been a history of macronutrients at war: protein against carbs; carbs against proteins, and then fats; fats against carbs. Beginning with Liebig, in each age nutritionism has organized most of its energies around an imperial nutrient: protein in the nineteenth century, fat in the twentieth, and, it stands to reason, carbohydrates will occupy our attention in the twenty-first. |
| In the very next election, in 1980, the beef lobby succeeded in rusticating the three-term senator, sending an unmistakable warning to anyone who would challenge the American diet, and in particular the big chunk of animal protein squatting in the middle of its plate. |
| Not just animal protein, but sugar and gasoline were also strictly rationed during the war. Americans generally ate less of everything, including, notably, refined carbohydrates; they did, however, eat more fish. And got more exercise because they couldn't drive as freely thanks to gas rationing.
But the lipid hypothesis would not be deterred. Researchers in the 1950s and 1960s had studied populations in other countries that had substantially lower rates of heart disease, which could be explained by their lower consumption of saturated fat. |

 The consumption of cooked animal protein has been statistically correlated with all the major diseases of civilization. As the cooked animal protein increases in the diet, the rate of disease increases in a one-to-one correlation (for more on this see John Robbins' book Diet For A New America and Howard Lyman's book Mad Cowboy). Most of the diseases of civilization are actually caused by animalprotein poisoning because protein-dominant animal foods are acid-forming and not natural foods for humans to consume in such large quantities.

 Typically, the Western diet contains an excess of protein—especially animal protein. The nutrition plan I recommend provides a variety of healthy plant proteins, somewhere between 50 and 70 grams every day. That is entirely adequate for a healthy lifestyle.
Could a low cholesterol level be dangerous for my health?
Some years ago, there were reports that low blood cholesterol levels might be associated with lung, liver, or colon cancer and that they might also contribute to accidental deaths and suicide. |

| I have found substantial evidence in my own practice and other research1'2 that, in long term, the less meat and animal protein we consume, the easier weight loss becomes and the more we are able to reduce our overall calorie consumption. When it comes to grains and legumes, the caution to eat them in extreme moderation stands. That means no more than 1/2 cup serving of cooked grains or legumes a day.
No, I don't want you to eliminate these foods altogether. And, I promise, you will never have to count calories. |

 Animal protein will also likely increase the risk of uric acid stones. Moderate amounts of protein are probably fine, though all my usual precautions about factory-farmed meat still apply for other reasons, and if I were a stone former, I'd probably keep protein to a reasonable amount—say 20 percent or so—of my diet for a while.

 If you eat animal protein make sure it is antibiotic and hormone free. Eat cold-water fish such as salmon, mackerel, and herring, along with flaxseeds and walnuts, as they are a good source of essential fatty acids, which help in reducing inflammation. You can also sprinkle 1 tbsp of high-fiber ground flaxseeds on your cereal. Add some wheat germ and/or brewer's yeast to two of your meals a day. Avoid hydrogenated oils, and trans-fatty acids. These foods promote inflammation and worsen symptoms. |

 It is an essential nutrient, and there are many low-fat sources of animal protein, including chicken, turkey, and fish. (Vegetarians can focus on legumes, eggs, and dairy products for protein.) Extreme high-protein, zero-carb diets were recommended by the late Robert Atkins, M.D., but for only a short period of time, after which carbohydrate intake could be increased. My dietary recommendations (in chapter 5) can best be described as protein rich, relatively low in fat, with substantial amounts of vegetables and small amounts of carbohydrate.
