President Bill Clinton Turned Vegan

Former US President Bill Clinton turned vegan since early May 2010 for health reasons. In this interview, he said:

"I'm trying to be one of those experimenters. Since 1986, several hundred people who have tried essentially a plant-based diet, not ingesting any cholesterol from any source, has seen their bodies start to heal themselves – break up the arterial blockage, break up the calcium deposits around the heart. 82 percent of the people who have done this have had this result, so I want to see if I can be one of them."

He follows a strictly vegan diet. No cholesterol, no meat, no dairy, only occasional fish and mainly fruits, vegetables and plant-based proteins and protein supplements. His reason for turning vegan is more than just losing weight but decided after he had the stent put in.
