IN 2015 I

n March VegWorld staff attended the biggest natural products expo in the country – Expo West – in search of the best new products to bring to our readers.

Get You Chocolate Bar “Milky” Without feeling Guilty – 2015 Winner Been a vegan for so long you can’t remember what it’s like to sink your teeth into an insanely creamy milk chocolate bar? Well now you don’t have to try! This year the ethical organic and fair trade company, Chocolat Stella Bernrain, introduced a Nectar de Coco bar that substitutes coconut milk for cow’s milk to create an incredibly vegan milk chocolate experience. Indulge in one (or two or three…) for yourself, and feel good about the Earth and worker’s rights in the process!

“GIV” TO YOUR BELLY AND YOUR

FAVORITE CAUSE – 2015 WINNER This year, the company giv stole our hearts and tummies with the 2015 launch of their new outrageously tasty, mostly organic, superfood quinoa burgers, all made with sustainably sourced ingredients. The burgers come in four yummy flavors – Sriracha, Mediterranean with Kalamata Olives, Sweet Potato with Sage and Chipotle Chili Lime with Black Beans (our fave is the Mediterranean). The best part? Giv is on a mission to change the world, donating 50% – yes a full HALF – of their profits to good causes, which consumers get to choose. The burgers are currently available in Sprouts, so get some for yourself…donate to a worthy charity in the process…and let us know which one you like best!

“JACK UP” YOUR BBQ EXPERIENCE

THIS SUMMER –

2015 WINNER

F

ormerly known only for their gluten-full (but delicious) seitan products, this year Upton’s Naturals will come out with two outrageously delicious, and naturally gluten-free jackfruit products – Chili Lime Carnitas and Bar-B-Que style. If you’ve ever had carnitas or pulled pork, you’ll see that jackfruit simulates that texture and taste sensation perfectly (taking on the flavor of any sauce) in a compassionate vegan way. And unlike restaurants that use canned jackfruit to create these delicacies, Upton’s will use the fresh stuff. These goodies are not yet available in the stores. Here’s hoping they’ll be out in time for this summer’s B-B-Que season!

2015 WINNERS SPAGHETTI AND “MEAT” BALLS

BETTER THAN MAMA MADE Right before the expo, VegWorld staff started noticing new Beyond Meat products popping up in the freezer section of our local health food stores. You may remember that last year Beyond Meat won for its veggie “meat” crumbles. Well, this year, the food that made our tummies dance was Beyond Meat’s Italian Meatballs. A kid’s paradise… and just like the spaghetti and meatballs you remember from your youth. Delicious and way better for you than the “real” thing.

MOVE OVER KALE,

THERE ARE NEW SNACK VEGGIES ON THE BLOCK

V

egWorld staff loves our kale chips. There are so many companies making them now in all sorts of flavors – from cheesy to chocolaty. This year, Wonderfully Raw is taking this concept to a new extreme. Dipperz are the first pre-dipped and ready-tomunch broccoli, cauliflower and carrot crunchies. They are delicious (available in Cheezy, Ranch and Lemongrass Chili), raw and organic, and they pack a pound of pre-dipped veggies into 1.5-ounce packages, according to the California-based company. These goodies should be available in stores soon, so keep an eye out. Kids love ‘em too, btw… VegWorld Magazine

THE MAGIC BEHIND PENN

JILETTE’S RECENT WEIGHT LOSS

P

enn Jillette, half of the magical Penn & Teller, dropped 105 pounds in 100 days recently after a blood pressure scare put him in the hos-

pital.

Jillette, who lost weight by following a lowcalorie diet, told People magazine that his doctor recommended he lose 30 or 40 pounds to make his blood pressure “easier to control.” Jillette, who at the time weighed 330 pounds, added, “And then he said something in passing that completely blew my mind — he said, ‘If you got down to 230, you probably wouldn’t need any of the meds.’” It was the motivation Jillette needed, and now the 6-foot-7 illusionist weighs about 220 pounds. He’s no longer following the strict 1,000-calorie diet he was on for about four months; once he lost the bulk of

VegWorld Magazine

the weight, he switched to Dr. Fuhrman’s Nutritarian (i.e., vegan) diet, People Magazine reported. “I eat unbelievable amounts of food, but just very, very, very healthy food,” Jillette told the entertainment magazine. “I could probably have a steak or a doughnut every couple of weeks, but I just haven’t felt like it. When you’re feeling as bad as I felt, and you go to feeling as good as I feel, the temptation to go back to doing what you were doing when you felt bad is not very great.” Jillette told People he dropped from a size 44 pant to an almost 34 (he’s about there), and said that the change caused problems with the Penn & Teller show. “It’s really expensive because the suits on the Penn & Teller Show cost a s*** ton, and so we had to get all new suits!” he said.

“MAN VS. FOOD” CARNIVOROUS REALITY STAR ADOPTS PLANTBASED DIET TO LOSE WEIGHT because I’m in training for football right now,” Richman told Hello! Magazine via Metro.co.uk. “And for Soccer Aid I went 100 percent vegan.”

I

t seems like you can’t turn around these days and not hear about some celebrity adopting a plantbased diet in order to lose weight and protect their health, but when that celebrity has made a name for themselves by shoving copious amounts of food in their face, it seems pretty noteworthy. “You guys, shhhh. If I listen carefully I can actually hear the arteriosclerosis happening.” Adam Richman of “Man vs. Food,” a show in which Richman went from restaurant to restaurant in order to win such coveted food prizes as t-shirts, polaroids on the wall, and “I can’t believe I ate the whole thing!” mugs, hasn’t really been known to refuse any type of edible offering. We once watched the man force down a meal so spicy that his beet-red complexion and alarming amounts of sweat actually had us concerned. But now, in order to maintain a recent 70-pound weight loss and train for an upcoming celebrity soccer match, Richman is pushing away from the table when it comes to animal products of any kind. “I’ve been vegan for the past three months or so, VegWorld Magazine

Make no mistake, Richman hasn’t decided to go vegan full-time, but instead he’s embracing a path endorsed by the likes of Meatless Mondays as well as the American Institute for Cancer Research and the American Heart Association to drastically reduce the amounts of animal products he consumes. Richman’s diet parallels programs like Vegan Before 6. While it’s not an outright rejection of all things animal-based, this diet is recommended by even outspoken vegans like Alicia Silverstone who says you can be a vegan “flirt.” This sort of thinking can help people eliminate animal foods in a low-pressure way with a focus on “minimizing” and not “perfection” to help force foods like meat and dairy off the plate in a “slow and steady wins the race” kind of way. The fact of the matter is, a guy like Richman can have major influence on the “manly man” types that watch his show and have admired his ability to fold a 30-inch pizza in half – like a taco – in order to take it down faster as he chases it with a milkshake. If this guy realizes that the path to health is paved with plants, what’s stopping anyone from trying it?

VEGGIES OVER VIAGRA / Dr. Neal D. Barnard

MEN: TAKE

VEGGIES OVER VIAGRA by Dr. Neal D. Barnard

O

ne surprising early sign of life-threatening heart problems is erectile dysfunction. A new study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that screening men with ED for heart disease could help prevent a million heart attacks or strokes over the next 20 years and save billions of dollars. But why let it escalate that far? Vegetables—not Viagra—are the best way to prevent not only ED, but the heart disease it’s linked to. Of course the first thing that men who are already turning to Viagra, Cialis, and other ED drugs should do is schedule an appointment with their physician. Approximately 44 percent of men with heart disease risk factors—such as ED—are unaware of their risk, according to the study. But if men with ED were screened for heart disease, 5.8 million cases would be identified over 20 years. Now we know just how costly erectile dysfunction is. The study authors say that even a 20 percent decrease in heart attacks or strokes as a result of

VegWorld Magazine

screening and treatment could help avoid 1.1 million heart attacks and strokes, saving $21.3 billion over 20 years. And more than 1 million cases of ED would also be treated, saving $9.7 billion. That’s a combined savings of $28.5 billion. ED is a canary in a coal mine, according to Stephen Kopecky, M.D. Why? Because—as this new study shows—the blocked arteries that cause ED can eventually stop blood flow to the heart and brain. About 8.8 million men have heart disease—and 5 million of those have a history of heart attack, according to the American Heart Association. Heart disease killed more than 200,000 men in 2009 and 68,814 died from heart attack. Three million men today are stroke survivors, and in 2009, stroke caused the death of more than 50,000 men, says the American Stroke Association. But arteries can literally open up again simply by adopting a low-fat, plant-based diet. A study in

We all know that eating our veggies and cutting out the cholesterol gets our bodies healthier and our systems stronger. But did you know that eating healthier can actually amp up your love life too? The truth is sexual dysfunction isn’t just for men. And often it results in women from the same causes. In the short video below, Dr. Michael Greger, M.D., explains how the higher consumption of cholesterolheavy foods, like meat, results in lower rates of sexual satisfaction, arousal and orgasm in premenopausal women.

Wow! I Could’ve had a REAL V-8! Springtime Pineapple Strawberry Elixir New Study: Green Juice Has Up To Twice the Nutrients as Green Smoothies

WOW! I COULD’VE

HAD A REAL V-8! by Steve Prussack

Processed juices just don’t cut it. They are over-processed, heated, use conventional produce and don’t contain the useful enzymes required to take your health to the next level. This recipe for “The Real V-8’’ tastes BETTER than the juice you may have had as a child. Best of all, it’s loaded with fresh, organic and enzyme-rich longevity-giving ingredients. Press one up today. Share one with your favorite neighborhood kiddo. You’ll be glad you did.

Organic Ingredients: • 2 medium tomatoes (Heirloom, if in season) • 4 medium-large carrots

• 1 bunch of Italian parsley • 8 leaves of romaine lettuce • 2 cups of spinach leaves

• 1/2 stalk of celery (approximately • 1 bunch of watercress 4-5 celery ribs) • 1/4 inch of beet

Directions: 1. Wash your produce well in a bowl containing a mixture of water mixed with 1/4 cup of Organic Apple Cider with 2 squeezed lemons. Rinse in a salad spinner. 2. In a low-rpm juicer, alternate pressing tomato, carrots, parsley, watercress, celery, spinach, celery and beet. 3. Stir and serve immediately.

Juicy Fact: This improved take on the juice you already love includes watercress, a wonderful dark green leafy vegetable not often juiced. Big mistake. Watercress is high in vitamin K which is important for blood clotting and bone strength and formation. It is also very high in vitamin C, vitamin A and Calcium.

TWICE THE NUTRIENTS IN JUICE OVER SMOOTHIES/ Team Breville

NEW STUDY: GREEN JUICE HAS UP TO TWICE THE NUTRIENTS AS GREEN SMOOTHIES by Team Breville

VegWorld Magazine

Issue 27 - May/June 2015 |

TWICE THE NUTRIENTS IN JUICE OVER SMOOTHIES/ Team Breville

Confused? The above commentaries, both from respected figures could not be more contradictory. One claims blenders kill up to 90% of the nutrition. The other claims that they can actually turn ordinary foods into ‘super foods’. Dr. Brian Clement, of the first quote above, runs a medical clinic focused on using high nutrition diets to treat illness. He claims that his statistics are backed by data, tests, and field trials conducted at his institution, as well as at MIT and other leading universities. He says he drinks a quart and a half of green juice every day because juicing is much more nutritious than blending. David Wolfe is a successful author of several books about health and nutrition. He has not provided evidence or a link to studies to support this particular claim about how blending foods enhances their nutrition in any public forum as far as we are aware, but proclaims that blending is the best way to realize the nutrition from food.

Finally...the Answer So, how can two respected figures support theories that are so radically opposed? We were perplexed by the same question, so we commissioned laboratory tests in December 2013 from the Australian Government National Measurement Institute in Melbourne. The testing revealed that green juice made in a juicer contains up to twice the concentration of key nutrients (Vitamin C, Beta Carotene) than the same ingredients blended together in the leading commercial blender, supporting Dr. Clement’s findings. Furthermore, we estimate the nutrient destruction of the most damaging high powered blender tested to be between 23% – 63% for Vitamin C, Calcium and Potassium (and less again for some minerals) with another high powered blender causing less nutritional damage. So the nutrient destruction was not the 90% Dr. Clement refers to. This could be because our tests involved blending the ingredients for 60 seconds, not 2 minutes like Dr. Clement. We used a 60 second blend time as most green smoothie recipes in high performance blenders require about 60 to 70 seconds to achieve a lump free texture, so we

VegWorld Magazine

Issue 27 - May/June 2015 |

JUICE GURU / Team Breville didn’t think blending for two minutes would be representative of normal at home use. Here’s what happens to the nutrient concentration in a green juice vs. a green smoothie for each of Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Vitamin C and Vitamin A (as measured using Alpha and Beta Carotene RAE).

The green juice, made in the best performing fast juicer (Breville BJE410 Juicer) had a concentration of

142% more Vitamin C, 73% more Alpha Carotene, 109% more Beta Carotene and 54% more Potassium than a green smoothie blended for 60 seconds in the leading commercial blender (Vitamix 5200 Blender). Each of the green drinks was made from the same ingredients (kale, oranges, celery, carrots and apples): however water was added to the blender to allow the ingredients to combine. It’s worth pointing out that the smoothie does equally as well with Magnesium, and actually has a slightly higher Calcium concentration than the green juice, even before adjusting for added water. So what happened to the vitamins and minerals? Well, a lot of vitamins and minerals are volatile. The moment you remove a fruit or vegetable from the

JUICE GURU / Team Breville ground or tree, it begins to lose nutrients. As it sits on the supermarket shelf, it loses nutrients. When you cut it into smaller pieces, it loses nutrients. When you cook it, it loses nutrients. And when you juice it, or blend it, it also loses nutrients. A blender creates more heat than a juicer, but even so, they only get up to a maximum of about 28 degrees C, not enough to cause significant vitamin or enzyme damage. So, Dr. Clement’s opinion that oxidation (air pushing into the cells) is what causes most nutrient damage when blending, makes sense to us based on our research on the subject and the findings of our laboratory tests.

Green Juice Far Superior to Supplements Too The fact that there is over 80% of your daily requirements of several key nutrients in one glass of green juice suggests that it is a far superior alternative to taking vitamin supplements. Clinical studies on vitamin supplements show they have little to no benefit to health and longevity and may actually be harmful. Multiple studies however, link increased fruit and vegetable intake to a significantly longer life expectancy and lower rates of heart disease, stroke and cancer. Based on the green juice nutrient concentrations versus the published vitamin and mineral RDIs, there is certainly a case to be made for green juice becoming part of everybody’s daily routine.

About the Authors We have worked in the product development team for Breville, a food thinking kitchen appliance company, for the last 12 years. We’ve overseen the design of numerous kitchen appliances, and you could say we’re also Breville’s resident experts on juicing and blending. We have both been touched by close family and friends struggling with illnesses such as cancer, heart disease and autoimmune disease. We helped as they studied what they should eat to help their body fight these diseases; to get well and remain well. We noticed how difficult it was for them to decipher all the information available, and how often experts contradicted each other. While there was a lot of discussion about juicing and blending in relation to health, much of it was at complete odds with our personal experience. The further we looked into it we found that much of the information didn’t seem to be based on any studies or facts we could find. So we’ve commissioned seven lab tests and studies1 (with two more on the way), talked to hundreds of chefs, doctors and nutritionists around the world, and have learnt quite a lot about what separates pulp fact from pulp fiction. We’ve been shocked by both a ground swell of false nutritional claims and by seeing countless consumers, including our own families and friends, start to accept juicing and blending myths we know to be false.

STRAWBERRY

SHORTCAKE

WAFFLES by Carolyn Scott Hamilton

This one’s for Mom: Spring is here and that means fresh, sweet and delicious strawberries are in season. I love strawberries in my smoothies and desserts but nothing says summer decadence like strawberries for breakfast! That’s why I combined them with a popular breakfast treat, waffles. Dig in, moms…

Organic Ingredients: • 1 pound package of strawberries, hulled and quartered (frozen are fine once they are thawed but fresh is best!) • 1/4 cup organic or raw sugar plus 3 tablespoons sugar, plus 8 teaspoons • 2 cups all-purpose flour • 1 tablespoon baking powder • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 8 tablespoons vegan butter, cold and cubed • 2/3 cup vegan creamer, plus 1/4 cup (coconut or almond milk creamer is perfect!) • Vegan whipped cream (or sub vegan vanilla ice cream during hot months!) • Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE WAFFLES

Directions: 1. In a medium mixing bowl, toss the strawberries and 1/4 cup sugar together. Set aside until time to serve. 2. In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together flour, baking powder, salt and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Then pulse in the cold butter cubes until a coarse meal is formed. Turn the flour mixture out into a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center. Pour in 2/3 cup creamer and gently mix it in with a rubber spatula or fork. Be careful not to over mix the dough or the biscuits will be tough. 3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and fold it over itself a couple of times until it just holds together. Pat the dough out to 3/4-inch thickness and cut out 8 round 3-inch biscuits. 4. Transfer one biscuit at a time to the waffle iron, placing in the center and cooking for about 3 minutes. If you want giant waffles, add 1 biscuit to each quarter of the waffle iron. 5. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Plate a biscuit waffle, spoon some strawberries on the bottom piece, then whipped cream and top with the other biscuit waffle to make a decadent waffle strawberry shortcake sandwich. Garnish with fresh mint, more strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!

FORKS OVER KNIVES

Despite the most advanced medical technology in the world, we are sicker than ever by nearly every measure. Heart disease, cancer and stroke are the country’s three leading causes of death, even though billions are spent each year to “battle” these conditions. Millions suffer from a host of other degenerative diseases. Could it be there’s a single solution to all of these problems? A solution so comprehensive, but so utterly straightforward, that it’s mind-boggling that more of us haven’t taken it seriously? Forks Over Knives examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the so-called “diseases of affluence” can be controlled, or even reversed by rejecting a menu of animal-based and processed foods. Featuring T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, a former top surgeon at the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic, this is one not to miss.

MEAT THE TRUTH

Meat the Truth tackles the important issue of factory farming and its incredible impact on climate change - an issue that has almost always been overlooked when officials discuss climate change and man’s part in it. This high-profile documentary was created as an addendum to earlier films that have been made about climate change. Although such films have convincingly succeeded in drawing public attention to the issue of global warming, they - like our officials - have repeatedly ignored the dramatic contribution of intensive livestock production.
