Quantcast Vegetarian StarMeatless Mouthful–Dr. Neal Barnard Says Cheese Is Frightening Food

Dr. Neal Barnard

“As far as frightening foods are concerned, among the worst, surprisingly, is cheese. It should carry a warning label. Americans now consume 33 or 34 pounds of it per person each year. Most people don’t know that cheese derives 70 percent of its calories from fat, most of which is saturated. This is what drives heart disease and diabetes. As our infatuation with cheese has grown, so have our waistlines.”

Dr. Neal Barnard, President of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a group of physicians and laypersons advocating a vegan diet for better health.
