Is a plant-based diet healthier than the Mediterranean diet? Or is the Mediterranean diet superior?   Dr. Neal Barnard and “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll examine both diets in depth on The Exam Room Live.   Dr. Barnard also talks about the research he led that compared the two diets for weight loss. The results left no doubt that one will help you lose more weight than the other.   Other Topics Discussed - Olive oil pros and cons - Low fat polyphenol sources - Edamame and hot flash relief - Reversing bone loss - Amino acids in meat vs. plants - Plus more!   This episode of The Exam Room™ Podcast is sponsored by The Gregory J. Reiter Memorial Fund, which supports organizations like the Physicians Committee that carry on Greg’s passion and love for animals through rescue efforts, veganism, and wildlife conservation. — — SHOW LINKS — — Vegan vs. Mediterranean Diet Study https://bit.ly/VegVsMedDiet — — —  Gregory J.
