1 ) You can simply feel the best by eating only the real food (whole grain, vegetable, some fruits, grass fed animal product, deep sea fish and etc) and maintain active physical lifestyle .
5 ) The book focuses too much on cholesterol, protein and saturated fat as the main causes of chronic diseases but ignore the critical contribution of sedentary lifestyle, refined carb/sugar, alcoholism/smoking, damaged vegetable oil/trans fat, oxidized cholesterol due to overcooked meat in shaping the modern diseases . The intention of the book is great, save a bunch of animals by eating a whole food vegetarian diet but the science is ... hmm ... questionable.
I suggest
The Skinny on Fats for better understanding of the positive roles of cholesterol and saturated fat have on human body.

Before 1920 coronary heart disease was rare in America; so rare that when a young internist named Paul Dudley White introduced the German electrocardiograph to his colleagues at Harvard University, they advised him to concentrate on a more profitable branch of medicine.

Why was heart disease so rare before 1920 ?
