I was a vegetarian for nearly 30 years before following Dr. Barnard’s advice and adopting a vegan diet a few years ago. I was always pretty healthy, but now I have more energy and stamina, feel even better, and dropped my overall cholesterol by 40 points while raising my HDL (good) cholesterol. As I see it, there really are no good reasons to eat animals or animals products – and isn’t it nice to know what’s good for animals and the planet is also really good for your health. Kudos to Extra for airing this story!

Great advice from Dr. Barnard! I started a vegan diet after seeing him on Ellen, and I’ve already lost several pounds—and I feel great! He has a cool website called www.NutritionMD.org that has a ton of useful info.

How wonderful to see Dr Bernard getting some mass exposure. I have read lots of his writings and have implemented a very strict vegetarian diet since June. Eating vegan is pretty easy especially if you like to cook. Dreena Burton, Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Robin Robertson are just a few vegan author/chefs who have delicious easy to follow recipes to make the choice of not eating animals super easy! Not only good for the waist but for the mind too. GO Veggie!

It was great seeing Dr.Neal Barnard on your show promoting eating vegan.The extra segment with him on this site, Why Salmon Isn’t Always Healthy,was helpful too.My cholesterol levels have greatly improved simply by eating how Dr.Barnard shows. VegCooking.com has lots and lots of delicious vegan recipes.

What we have been taught before is actually all lies from the meat/dairy industries who do not care about people’s health.They only care about their wallets.Our arteries and bodies can rot for all they care and they will still continue to deceive and brainwash the public.

Yay that I am vegan already!! :)

To Robert:
You were asking where to get extra info on the website after the show, I found it by scrolling down a bit and I clicked on ‘Why salmon isn’t always healthy’. I see it now above the comment line section. If anyone wants more great info, they can go to PCRM.org and NutritionMd.com. Dr.Neal Barnard has written several bestsellers that have helped a few family members of mine. Thank you Extra for having Dr. Neal Barnard on your show!

Your segment said that there was more on your web site. I looked but you only have the video segment on your site. Where is the “more” located?
