Nutrient Differences Between Plant and Animal Products

Plant products:

• Nature doesn’t package cholesterol in any food.
• Nature supplies primarily unsaturated fat.
• Nature generally packages this fat in small quantities, except in nuts and seeds.
• Nature never packages fat without fiber and an array of vitamins and minerals.
• Nature never packages protein without fiber and an array of vitamins and minerals.
• Nature generally includes carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals and water together in all plants in more modest quantities rather than large concentrations of just one element.
• Nature has equipped plants to be our major source of energy and protection from disease.

Contrast that with animal products:

• Flesh and dairy foods all contain cholesterol.
• These foods supply saturated fat.
• These foods supply the dangerous combination of both cholesterol and saturated fat together.
• Cholesterol and saturated fat are in larger quantities than the unsaturated fats in plant foods.
• Fat comes without fiber.
• Protein comes without fiber.
• These foods are noted for supplying only a few elements, in higher concentrations, rather than a wide array of nutrients in modest amounts.
• Flesh has no significant carbohydrate, the body’s premium fuel.
