Macalester College still uses and kills rats in psychology courses even though most universities replaced animal labs years ago. Students don’t support this. 83% say animals shouldn’t be used when alternatives exist. Take Action: act.pcrm.org/xIh36Z8m5k2h...

The new Dietary Guidelines are a mixed bag. It’s great to see more emphasis on fruits, vegetables, and limiting saturated fat—but they still promote meat and dairy, which are the top sources of that very same fat. We can do better. Read our full response: www.pcrm.org/news/news-re...

As a physician, I’m concerned when we lump all “ultra-processed” foods together. Not all are harmful; many plant-based ones are actually linked to lower diabetes risk. The real issue isn’t processing; it’s what we’re processing. Read more: www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...

Our research studies find that when people are given basic information about how a diet change can help, along with modest support, such as a meeting with a dietitian and weekly classes, they find that a dietary rethink is easy, empowering, and often life-changing.

There is no reason to wait. We can protect our health, our planet, and the animals we share it with by leaving them off the plate.

The most obvious benefit of a vegan diet is to the animals. Americans currently eat 1 million animals every hour. We can protect our health, our planet, and the animals we share it with by leaving them off the plate.

A plant-based diet is a powerful way to achieve good health. In addition, it is essential to include a reliable source of vitamin B12 in your diet. You can easily meet your B12 needs with a daily supplement.

060

Neal Barnard, MD @drnealbarnard.pcrm.org · 06/06/2025

As a doctor, I want people to know that they already wield some of the most powerful tools to help take control over the risk of cancer: the fork and knife.

061

Neal Barnard, MD @drnealbarnard.pcrm.org · 03/06/2025

Exercise is beneficial, and I strongly recommend it. However, a lack of exercise is not the primary reason for weight problems, and exercise can never take the place of a healthful diet.

031

Neal Barnard, MD @drnealbarnard.pcrm.org · 28/05/2025

Research shows that saturated and trans fats found in dairy products, meats, pastries, and fried foods can increase the risk for cognitive decline. A plant-based diet helps protect brain health. Berries and foods rich in vitamin E are especially beneficial.

Neal Barnard, MD @drnealbarnard.pcrm.org · 27/05/2025

Protein requirements are easily met by a plant-based diet. According to the World Health Organization, ‘protein deficiency is almost always accompanied by inadequate energy intake,’ meaning the problem is a lack of food, not a lack of meat.

Neal Barnard, MD @drnealbarnard.pcrm.org · 20/05/2025

The key to good health is on your plate. Fill it with colorful fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes.

081

Neal Barnard, MD @drnealbarnard.pcrm.org · 12/05/2025

When it comes to weight loss, animal products do not have the healthful fiber you need to tame your appetite. Beans, veggies, fruits, and grains have no cholesterol and virtually no saturated fat, but plenty of healthy fiber and complex carbohydrates.

190

Neal Barnard, MD @drnealbarnard.pcrm.org · 09/05/2025

Make vegetables the star of your meals. They're low in calories and packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

Neal Barnard, MD @drnealbarnard.pcrm.org · 07/05/2025

All plants have all the essential amino acids, and a diet based on a variety of plant foods easily provides the amino acids you need. In other words, you don't need any animal protein at all.

290

Neal Barnard, MD @drnealbarnard.pcrm.org · 06/05/2025

One problem with animal protein is that it is usually accompanied by a fair amount of fat. You might not see it, but even without the skin, about a quarter of the calories in a chicken breast come from fat. Animal products are especially high in saturated fat.

1163

Neal Barnard, MD @drnealbarnard.pcrm.org · 01/05/2025

Some people ask, "If foods are low in calories, won't we compensate by eating more of them?" Our research has shown that with the right food choices, this does not happen. Foods high in fiber and complex carbohydrates are appetite-tamers.

281

Neal Barnard, MD @drnealbarnard.pcrm.org · 30/04/2025

Yes, this change comes decades later than it should have. But it signals a future in which science can advance without unnecessary harm. It’s a future grounded in better data, stronger ethics, and smarter investment.
