Dr. Peter Rogers is the best vegan doctor, now that Dr.McDougall is sadly gone.

Don't use healthy balsamic vinegar on your salad because it is not a whole food and has no fiber and no Vitamin E or Lecithin.

This covers ALL oils. People should also be aware that oil is added to almost every single processed/packaged food item. That is another reason why WFPB is the way to go.

They do, but their "traditional" junk foods are generally no where near as unhealthy as western junk food. Dried fruits and little cakes/pastries with almost no frosting, and far less sugar.

I dont think the good doctor can tell you exactly how many olives to eat at a meal since everyone's metabolic system is uniquely different based upon their genetics, body weight and height. In any case, if a person is eating a WFPB diet and your body is healthy, it will do what it always does in the metabolic process, it will eliminate excessive intake of sugar/salt/protein (through urination) that it doesn't need. The excess fat will be burned away by fasting and physical activity. And a doctor will surely give you a heads up long before heart failure. So I wouldn't be overly concerned. Use your own moderation.

@@spektred Thanks for the reply first of all. Secondly, I'm not _overly_ concerned nor in any minor manner either. Humans are far more similar than different, regardless of as you have cited, weight, genes, etc. If this were not so, few, if any of the studies and their conclusions, would not hold sufficient water to be put forth as some sort of intake regimen to be trusted. My point is essentially, please to all the docs we live by and make no mistake, this WFPB regimen is new and experimental, especially when aligned with a no or low SOS intake, don't tell us what not to do without a suggestion as to how much is fine and how much is dangerous. I began my change of lifestyle when I viewed FOK in Oct of 2011 for the first time, developing a high respect for both Tom and Caldwell. 'Round 'bout that epoch, I got introduced electronically, to the good Dr. G of NutritionFacts.org. Michael usually; however, not always, offers suggestions when he's not outing some silly study with his typical sarcasm. To end with moderation is a fine saying; however urban, but, in the end when it comes to excess sodium, that salt is so easily dissolved in water and like all else circulates in our bloodstream everywhere.

@@jageo48 I was going to write the same thing about the olives. The only ones available where we are, are loaded with Sodium.. would be great to have tasty olives without the salt

@@Dr.AnyaYushchenko Off the cuff, I read some time ago that olives need salt, at least initially to be palatable for human consumption. It's the curing process. I rinse mine before eating.
