I'm late to the party on this one and a few others I want to respond to but in case anyone here reads...I switched to a plant based diet after spending a rainy day watching Hippocrates Health Institute videos that featured Dr Kapper, Dr Eslystine, Mcdougall, and a few others...I'm missing one of the...
