"This is one of the most impactful books I've read. I used to absent-mindedly eat meat and dairy without even exploring plethora of other whole foods that available to me. Now I have stopped eating meat at least 3 days of a week and I'm discovering so many other foods I've been ignoring all these years; vegetables, lentils, other plant products etc. I think this book is vital to understand the limitations of modern medicine, especially for chronic diseases and how we should improve our largest interface to the outer world - the food we eat."

"Really amazing stuff. I listened to the audio book and Greger is a great narrator and quite funny. I already eat a healthy mainly whole plant food diet and this book upped my knowledge and gave me new ideas."
