Breaking News! Plant based diets health-giving; Dr. Atkins unavailable for comment

Dean Ornish, M.D., president of the Preventative Medicine Research Institute, and Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, has recently published a report of his findings that found a dramatic lifestyle change featuring a low-fat vegan diet, coupled with exercise greatly increases the body's ability to fight premature aging, cancer, heart disease, and several other chronic illnesses. 


The study published in the British medical journal, The Lancet, involved 24 men in research regarding prostate cancer and found that levels of telomerase, an enzyme that reportedly helps repair and protect DNA, increased on average 29% during the duration of the study.
