Does it have the PCRM's blessing?

I'm afraid oil is oil on this plan. And we suggest not adding any or very minimal amounts no matter the plant it came from.

Ahhhh ... got ya. So the plan must be close or one and the same to McDouggal's. I could do it, but it was a hard enough nut to crack to get my beau to go vegan. And he has coronary issues (it's under control but he is watched carefully by his doctors) and should be on a liquid oil-free plan. Not gonna happen.

Maybe he would be willing to read Dr. Esselstyn's book on reversing heart disease. It's really convincing.

Thanks Susan ... will check into that. Oh that's the book called the Engine 2 Diet by Rip Esselstyn. Or is it a book by his father Caldwell? My beau knows about that book ... it got a lot of press. Good idea ... I'll buy it for him or take it out from the library.

This is his dad's book, called Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease.
