On Wednesday, April 27, Dr. Oz will share the stage with several other doctors–all known for advocating a vegan diet for good health.

Joining Oz for his special vegan episode will be Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Caldwell Esselstyn, MD, and Neal Barnard, MD. Rip Esselstyn, son of Dr. Esselstyn, author of The Engine 2 Diet and firefighter who convinced his station to go vegan to solve many of their health problems, will also be present.

Two years ago, Oz featured a meat-loving cowboy named Rocco who embarked on a 28-day vegan diet. Rocco lost 6 inches from his waist, reduced his blood sugar from dangerously high to almost completely normal and raised his good HDL cholesterol levels.

A preview of Wednesday’s show can be viewed below.

So maybe it hasn’t become as famous as, “To Be or Not To Be,” or any other little verses we were forced to memorize in high school. But who knows…a hundred years from now, young pupils may be reciting the great works of Rapper Common and his thoughts on dairy:

“I think and speak clearer since I cut the dairy out. I can breathe better and perform at a better rate, and my voice is clearer. I can explore different things with my voice that I couldn’t do because of my meat and dairy ingestion. I am proud and blessed to be a vegetarian, everything became clear.”

Common, along with other famous and celebrity quotes by people like Kate Bush and Moby, are located at Happy Vegetable.

Our runner up for favorite quote is by a well known doctor, Dr. Neal Barnard, head of the Physicians Committee For Responsible medicine, vegan, and frequent Vegetarian Times contributor who specializes in diabetic research:

“The beef industry has contributed to more American deaths than all the wars of this century, all natural disasters, and all automobile accidents combined. If beef is your idea of “real food for real people” you’d better live real close to a real good hospital.”
