Even the atheistic, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins admitted that life appears to have been designed and that an origin one—celled animal has a thousand sets of Encyclopedias full of genetic information in it!

If they'd thought a bit more about biological evolution and spent less time cooking up nutty theories they might have uncovered a few simple truths.

For what we think and feel and are is to a great extent determined by the state of our ductless glands and our viscera.

I did this book 'Harvest for Hope,' and I learned so much about food. And one thing I learned is that we have the guts not of a carnivore, but of an herbivore. Herbivore guts are very long because they have to get the last bit of nutrition out of leaves and things.

It is hard to overstate how valuable it is to have all the incredible tools that are used for human disease to study plants.
