DR. JOHN MCDOUGALL, YOU ARE TICKING ME OFF

So Dr. John McDougall comes on "Coast To Coast" the other night to talk about carnateen, a supplement I had never heard of till then and wasn't planning to take anyway. He starts talking against nutritional supplements, saying they take nutrients away from your body, and that instead people should eat a vegan diet.

First, what brands of supplements were used in the studies McDougall looked at? There are a lot of crummy brands of supplements out there.

Second, there's no real proof vegans are healthier than other people. Actually, studies might indicate they're less healthy because they can't get certain ameno acids and forms of calcium and vitamin B-12 as easily.

Lots of vegans substitute meat products with soy imitations but this is also bad because most soy is genetically modified. Soy also increases estrogen levels.

McDougall ends the interview by saying to George Norey, "I've been working on you. I'm slowly having an effect" or something like that. That is just being an arrogant son of a bitch right there.
