Does the Vegan Diet work

If the objective is to reduce chances of chronic disease to a minimum or to heal these diseases that were caused by a rich diet, than yes, the only diet that does work is vegan, but that does not mean that any diet excluding all animal products works. Potato chips and Apple sauce is a technically a vegan diet but it will not make you healthy. If you look at the way different populations around the world eat and you compare their various rates of diseases (as was done by T. Colin Campbell and described in his book "The China Study" 2005) it becomes very clear that humans live without disease when they center their diet on starches such as rice, potatoes, wheat, or any other whole grain, with the addition of fruits and vegetables. That's the only secret to health there is! A whole foods plant based diet is scientifically proven to be the ideal human diet. Here is a partial list of the conditions that are eliminated with this diet: Acne, Heart disease, cancer (many different cancers including the major killers such as breast and prostate), Arthritis, Alzheimer's, Diabetes (both type 1 and 2) osteoporosis... and the list goes on.
