About this listen
Plant-based is best for health, go vegan to help save the planet, eat less meat.... Almost every day we are bombarded with the seemingly incontrovertible message that we must reduce our consumption of meat and dairy—or eliminate them from our diets altogether.
But what if the pervasive message that the plant-based diet will improve our health and save the planet is misleading—or even false? What if removing animal foods from our diet is a serious threat to human health, and a red herring in the fight against climate change.
In The Great Plant-Based Con, Jayne Buxton demonstrates that each of these 'what-ifs' is, in fact, a reality. Drawing on the work of numerous health experts and researchers, she uncovers how the separate efforts of a constellation of individuals, companies and organisations are leading us down a dietary road that will have severe repercussions for our health and wellbeing, and for the future of the planet.
The Great Plant-Based Con is neither anti-plant nor anti-vegan—it is a call for us to take an honest look at the facts about human diets and their effect on the environment. Shocking and eye-opening, this book outlines everything you need to know to make more informed decisions about the food you choose to eat.

Most diet books teach you to set short-term weight loss goals. Whether low-carb or low-fat, the typical plan goes like this: restrict your food choices, exercise until exhaustion, and swallow stacks of supplements. These “solutions” do a better job of lightening your wallet than lightening you. Meanwhile, the healthcare industry fails to prevent chronic disease. Rather than showing people how to remain healthy and prevent illness through proper nutrition, the system offers drugs and surgery to manage symptoms.

Based on 20 years of investigative reporting and interviews with 100 practicing physicians who embrace the keto lifetstyle as the best prescription for their patients' health, Taubes' book puts the ketogenic diet movement in the necessary historical and scientific perspective. It makes clear the vital misconceptions in how we've come to think about obesity and diet (no, people do not become fat simply because they eat too much; hormones play the critical role) and uses the collected clinical experience of the medical community to provide essential practical advice.

For decades we have been taught that fat is bad for us, carbohydrates better, and that the key to a healthy weight is eating less and exercising more. Yet despite this advice, we have seen unprecedented epidemics of obesity and diabetes. Taubes argues that the problem lies in refined carbohydrates, like white flour, easily digested starches, and sugars, and that the key to good health is the kind of calories we take in, not the number.

Dish up the red meat, eggs, and whole milk! In this well-researched and captivating narrative, veteran food writer Nina Teicholz proves how everything we've been told about fat is wrong. For decades, Americans have cut back on red meat and dairy products full of "bad" saturated fats. We obediently complied with nutritional guidelines to eat "heart healthy" fats found in olive oil, fish, and nuts, and followed a Mediterranean diet heavy on fruits, vegetables, and grains. Yet the nation's health has declined. What is going on?

We all know the dangers of sugar and salt: but the danger attributed to the second white crystal has more to do with getting too little of it, not too much. Too little salt can shift the body into semi-starvation mode, causing insulin resistance, and may even cause twice as much fat to be absorbed for every gram that's consumed. Too little salt in certain populations can also actually increase blood pressure as well as resting heart rate.

Among Americans, diabetes is more prevalent today than ever. Obesity is at epidemic proportions; nearly 10% of children are thought to have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. And sugar is at the root of these, and other, critical, society-wide, health-related problems. With his signature command of both science and straight talk, Gary Taubes delves into Americans' history with sugar: its uses as a preservative, as an additive in cigarettes, the contemporary overuse of high-fructose corn syrup.

Story
Based on 20 years of investigative reporting and interviews with 100 practicing physicians who embrace the keto lifetstyle as the best prescription for their patients' health, Taubes' book puts the ketogenic diet movement in the necessary historical and scientific perspective. It makes clear the vital misconceptions in how we've come to think about obesity and diet (no, people do not become fat simply because they eat too much; hormones play the critical role) and uses the collected clinical experience of the medical community to provide essential practical advice.

The carnivore diet is surging in popularity. And while its contrarian tenets may fly in the face of conventional nutritional recommendations, millions of people, and emerging research, are showing it to be a healing nutritional template, when done correctly. In this accessible guide, board-certified holistic nutritionist Judy Cho covers the “why” of carnivore eating with well-referenced scientific information on the pitfalls of modern plant-based diets and how animal-based eating can support health, disease amelioration, and, contrary to popular belief, nutrient density.

Story
Among Americans, diabetes is more prevalent today than ever. Obesity is at epidemic proportions; nearly 10% of children are thought to have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. And sugar is at the root of these, and other, critical, society-wide, health-related problems. With his signature command of both science and straight talk, Gary Taubes delves into Americans' history with sugar: its uses as a preservative, as an additive in cigarettes, the contemporary overuse of high-fructose corn syrup.

fantastic compilation of stories and data showing why the solution to so many of our planet's current issues (climate change, soil destruction, water pollution and more) can all be solved with strategic management of livestock, and why plant based diets actually make all of those problems worse.

Great information.
The reading becomes robotic at times. But I feel I'm better off for having the information presented in this book. I thank the author, the performer, and everyone else behind the scenes who brought it to me. Bravo!

The unified case against the plant narrative
This book is the first to my knowledge to cover all the major criticisms against the misleading but popular “good for your health and the planet” - plant based narrative. Thorough and powerful, Buxtons book builds well on established critiques and also brings some fresh findings to this broad and challenging debate. The biggest achievement is however to weave all the threads of the debate into a very readable and coherent story. Well done, I will certainly recommend this book to others!

Finally, truth without propaganda
I have been diving into the lies behind the dietary guidelines and it is shocking. Read this and the big fat surprise by Nina Teicholz. Our nutritional guidelines are very corrupt.

Mispronounced Words!!
As great as the content is, I had to turn it off and I don't know if I'll finish it. Perhaps I'll purchase the hard copy and read it myself because I truly believe the content is extremely valuable.
I don't understand why the author doesn't listen to the audio and approve it first. The narrator mispronounced so many words it was almost confusing at times. I listen to a lot of health education books on audible and this is a problem that I've noticed in several other audios. If you can't pronounce the words correctly, you shouldn't be narrating the book!!

Major Eye Opener
I found this book to be a major eye opener. I'm vegan and while my health has thrived on a vegan whole foods plant based diet. I do agree with the author about animal rights and the environment. Going vegan doesn't mean your going to save the animals. Animals are going to die no matter what diet your on. Soy and almonds are going to have a huge environmental impact. I believe most vegans don't understand this. I think every animal rights activist and environmentalist should read this book.

Well researched, lots of information
The author has done a good job of providing a summary of the basis of low-carb eating and regenerative agriculture. If these are new subjects to you, you'll likely get a lot out of it. I skipped much of the part about plant-based diets and their promotion as that's not really of interest to me. The overall message was about whole, nutrient-dense foods with ethically cared-for animals raised in sustainable ways. I think everyone should get behind that for their good health and for really caring for the soil, animals, and planet
