“ We now know that greatly increasing the consumption of vegetables , legumes , fruits , and raw nuts and seeds ( and greatly decreasing the consumption of animal products ) offers profound increased longevity potential , due in large part to a broad symphony of lifeextending phytochemical nutrients that the vegetablebased diet contains . By taking advantage of the yearround availability of high-quality plant foods , we have a unique opportunity to live both healthier and longer than ever before in human history .” ~ Joel Fuhrman , M .
