HOST: Hallo, radiant viewers, and welcome to today’s edition of Healthy Living featuring vegan Australian naturopath and member of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society Robyn Chuter who will discuss why we should all pursue a healthy, vegan diet.

Since beginning her naturopathic practice in １９９５, Ms. Chuter has helped many people recover from chronic illnesses such as high blood pressure, diabetes and migraine headaches.

She is also a qualified counselor and practitioner of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) therapy, which Ms. Chuter says is a practical, effective way to help clients overcome emotional suffering. We begin with Ms. Chuter’s examination of the myth that humans are omnivores.

Ms Chuter(f): Humans are actually usually classed as being omnivores but there’s a really interesting difference between us and true omnivores. So true carnivores and true omnivores produce an enzyme called uricase. And uricase breaks down uric acid. Now uric acid is a byproduct of protein digestion. Human beings do not produce uricase, which is why humans get gout.

Men in particular are susceptible to gout if they eat too much protein and it’s purely and simply because we’re not designed to handle vast quantities of uric acid. We can’t break it down. It builds up; it does a lot of harm.
Ms Chuter(f): We should not eat foods that we are not designed for.
