Quantcast Vegetarian Starvegan (372)

Dr. Oz

Dr. Oz was a featured speaker at a luncheon in New York City titled “Beautiful Minds: An Assessment of the Nation’s Brain Health,” where he gave recommendations on keeping your brain fit, sharp and youthful.

DHA or Docosahexaenoic acid, also known as omega-3 fatty acids, has been attributed to maintaining memory function and preventing dementia. The human brain is about 60% fat, and DHA is one of the fatty acids found in the brain, as well as the retina. Known for being present in fish, Oz told the audience he recommends using the vegetarian form of DHA found in algae.

Singer Jessica Simpson is all smiles as she steps out to dinner at Abe and Arthur's in New York City, New York for over 5 hours on Tuesday June 22, 2010. Fame Pictures, Inc

Jessica Simpson‘s Tweets about veganism appear to be more than just a passing phase.

The actress and singer not only likes Earth Balance vegan butter and tofu, she’s gone all the way with a new vegan diet.

“Shocked my system with a vegan diet, special Pu-erh tea from China, and cupping since friday! Who am I right now? This might be too clean!”

Simpson wouldn’t be the first celebrity to try out the veggie lifestyle, for diet or health reasons. And there are more than enough Hollywood starlets who go veg, quit, and bad mouth the experience.

Crossing our fingers Jessica stays in love with an animal-free diet longer than she did with Nick Lachey.
