Forks Over Knives
by Gene Stone, ed.
The companion book to the documentary: essays from Campbell, Esselstyn and others on a whole-food plant-based diet, success stories and recipes. It is advocacy with a strong point of view, and the evidence on reversing heart disease is more robust than some other claims. Talk to your doctor before changing a diet for a medical condition.
Read it if…
you watched the film and want the arguments and recipes in one place.
Skip it if…
you want neutral evidence review; it is advocacy.
Three things you will actually use
- Whole plant foods are consistently associated with better outcomes.
- Change the plate, not just the portions.
- Advocacy still contains useful recipes.
Do this first
Cook three plant-based dinners this week and notice what you miss and what you do not.
