How do vegans view the new food pyramid wit Dr. Peter McCullough
This week, Dr. Peter McCullough interviewed Dr. John E. Lewis, founder of Dr. Lewis Nutrition and longtime University of Miami researcher, about the new U.S. “inverted food pyramid.” Both condemned the guideline’s elevation of red meat and full‑fat dairy as a nutritionally and biologically unsound reversal driven by industry influence rather than evidence.
Dr. Lewis—vegan for 27 years—warned that animal foods provide no fiber or vitamin C, are loaded with saturated fat, and when char‑grilled, form carcinogens linked to colon cancer. Dairy, he argued, functions as a “hormonal delivery system” high in IGF‑1, identical in humans and cows, stimulating excess cellular growth tied to obesity, early puberty, and cancer. He noted that nations with the highest milk intake (the U.S., Sweden, Norway) also show the highest osteoporosis rates.
McCullough, who eats mostly plant‑based foods, cited overwhelming data connecting saturated animal fat to elevated LDL and coronary disease. While keto‑carnivore advocates promote short‑term weight loss, the physicians agreed that such diets lack fiber, strain the kidneys, and raise long‑term risks of cardiovascular and malignant disease. They contrasted this with the longevity and heart‑health of Seventh‑day Adventists, lifelong vegetarians.
