"There are two kinds of cardiologists: vegans and those who haven't read the data." - Dr. Kim Williams When my newly grad cardiologist cousin who is not a vegan posted a meme about the immune system that is not working with covid-19, I also posted this quote of Dr. Williams for him to know, haha! Dr. Kim Allan Williams is the past president of the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the current chief of cardiology at Rush University in Chicago. "He's the first and thus far only president of ACC to come out as a vegan" and he is best known for that meme quote. When he was asked about it, he just simply reply that he "don't want to stop until the leading cause of death among cardiologist is no longer cardiovascular disease." I first saw him on Million Dollar Debunk with Dr. Kim Williams and when asked "If being vegan was good for you, my doctor would have recommended it or be vegan himself?" and his answer was, "It turns out that our medical system for education largely excludes nutrition. And so I would love to tell you that your doctor's an experts. Odds are they really aren't..unless they're vegan." He's not trying to insult his colleagues, he only want them to realize how important veganism is especially to our heart health. Heart disease is killing millions every year but there is always hope in this for it's avoidable and preventable and like covid-19, the solution is within us - if we will change our lifestyle. And what we put in our mouth is one of the best weapons to fight heart attacks and other diseases. Credits: Million Dollar Vegan, plantyourself.com
