In a recent documentary aired on the globally broadcast channel CNN, chief medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta, MD reveals the findings of a year's research in which he evaluated the preventive role of diet in avoiding and reversing heart disease.

Titled "The Last Heart Attack," the documentary featured the recently acclaimed cardiac health success story of 42nd US President Bill Clinton, who turned to the plant-based diet after two heart surgeries that halted symptoms but did not cure his disease.

About one year into eating what he says is almost exclusively vegan fare, the former president states that his medical tests are all normal, he enjoys the plant-based foods he eats now, and he has more energy than ever. The program goes on to interview other medical experts such as Dean Ornish, MD, who consulted with President Clinton on his diet, and Caldwell Esselstyn, MD, who has conducted peer-reviewed studies that show the reversal of heart disease, with patients' arteries becoming unblocked after some time on a plant-based diet.  
Dr. Gupta concludes by pointing out that these findings are especially timely given the current all-time high in obesity and diabetes in the USA, both of which are considered precursors to heart disease.

According to the American Heart Association, the situation is set to become even worse, as this number one cause of death in the country will afflict 33 million more people over the next two decades unless significant changes in lifestyle are made.

Our appreciation, Dr. Gupta, CNN, former President Clinton, and other esteemed contributors, for sharing these vital facts with the public along with the empowering message that we can change our health for the better.
May more and more people realize the vitality and joy of switching to humane and delicious plant-based fare.
