We are born with genetic tendencies of succumbing to chronic, degenerative diseases that we inherit from our parents. We grow up being told that how our health goes as we age is mostly dictated by our genes. In my case, my father died from a heart attack at the age of 52. Heart attacks also claimed the lives of both of my grandfathers. It looks like the odds are against me. What if the foods we eat have more to do with the expression of our genetic tendencies than our genes? Over the last 12 y …

This group is interested in the role that plant foods play in preventing and fighting disease. We are trying to switch to a plant-based diet (or have already switched!) and focus on how to make the best food choices. As a group, we put all of the pieces together using easy-to-understand evidence-based information developed by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM). We'll discuss how to identify and choose meat and dairy alternatives. We'll also sample new tasty recipes!
