The books listed below explain that a plant-based whole foods diet is the healthiest there is for humans. Each author addresses the issue from a slightly different perspective, but the overall message stays the same.
Some authors, like Dean Ornish, will focus on a holistic approach to health (including stress-relief, meditation, emotional support, etc.), while others will focus on specific food items that should be avoided or included (Esselstyn, Davis).
