Michael Greger — the food-first minimalist
The evidence-based-vegan counterpoint: get nutrients from whole plant foods (his “Daily Dozen”) and supplement only the genuinely hard-to-get ones — B12, vitamin D and algae-derived omega-3. A deliberately tiny, low-COI regimen. Documented as reported, not endorsed.
Dr. Michael Greger is a physician and the founder of NutritionFacts.org, author of How Not to Die and How Not to Age, and a prominent advocate of a whole-food, plant-based diet.
