One should ask what is the drive to get everyone to be a vegan? Even Dr. Gary Null, who should know better, is caught up in it. I know people who refer to vegetables as "rabbit food" and found they actually do better with meat and potatoes than a salad. There is science behind this and research is uncovering more. UCSF researchers found that when the US went on a low-fat kick food companies created low-fat alternatives by adding carbs. Take a look at that "reduced fat" cream cheese you get. What they did was add corn starch, a carbohydrate, to thicken it otherwise it would be watery. What we wind up with is a bunch of fad diets that don't work for everyone except those making money off it. Proper use of biochemical individuality be it from ayurveda, chinese medicine (yin and yang) or metabolic typing (a modern form) can be very useful for keeping a person in good health and able to perform as they want. Here's an article by Virginia Worthington that has appeared various places on the Internet but gives a good overview about slow and fast oxidation rates and the research of Dr. George Watson. http://www.funkfitness.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=90:metabolic-typing-slow-oxidizers-fast-oxidizers
