Like any topic now, there are an overwhelming number of online resources somehow related to health and plant based diets. We have found the following sources useful.
We have looked on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram as well. All the organizations below have a presence on these forums too. I find there is too much on social media to wade through to get to useful information. Especially if you follow groups, you end up seeing hundreds of posts a day that, while nice, do not really provide any information.
Medical and Technical Information:
Nutritionfacts.org is Dr. Michael Greger’s site. Dr. Greger is the author of How Not to Die and How Not to Diet and now, How to Survive a Pandemic. His books are packed with great reviews of scientific research on what is good for you and what is not.
This site has his free videos and articles. This is really a great place to start any research. If you only look at one site for scientific evidence-based guidance, I’d recommend this site.
Center_for_Nutrition_Studies is T. Colin Campbell’s site. Dr. Campbell, from Cornell, is the author of The China Study, the largest study on the effect of diet on health. In addition to technical articles there is a great Guide for Living a Plant Based life The_Guide. There is also a Cornell run Plant Based Nutrition certificate program, if you want to get deep into the topic. If you don’t want to endure the scientific, technical aspects, just jump to The Guide (link above).
Plant Based Websites:
Of the general, plant based websites, Forks Over Knives may be the best. Their Beginner’s Guide at Beginners_Guide is a great starting resource. Lots of current information, recipes and hints.
Vegan.com is another comprehensive source of information at Vegan.com.
The site has a lot of basic vegan information. Instead of one guide for going plant based, they have several guides on various topics.
Lastly, “Veg News” at Veg_News has all sorts of news and recipes. They have a hard copy magazine, as well.
