A few days ago I mentioned the book "Proteinaholic." Here is a podcast interview with the author, Dr. Garth Davis. It is 56 min. long, but well worth your time. I encourage you to listen.
One detail that I learned was about heme iron. This is the type of iron in animal foods. Plant foods have non-heme iron. I know that heme iron is dangerous....it increases aging, it oxidizes fats, etc. What I did not know is that it affects the beta cells in the pancreas, which make insulin, in a negative way, correlating with increases in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
