The rumors are true. Bill Clinton has heard how healthy a vegan diet is, and is trying it out for himself.
In a video on Ecorazzi, he says:
Since 1986, several hundred people who have tried essentially a plant-based diet—not ingesting any cholesterol from any source—have seen their bodies start to heal themselves—break up the arterial blockage, break up the calcium deposits around the heart.
Eighty-two percent of the people who have done this have had that result, so I want to see if I can be one of them.
He started the experiment before Chelsea's (vegan) wedding, since he had to lose a few pounds anyway.
He told Wolf Blitzer that he lives on beans, legumes, vegetables, fruit—and no dairy. For breakfast, he mixes protein powder with fruit and almond milk. Exciting words to hear from a former president.
Watch the rest of his talk about his plant-based diet on CNN:
