			==Ornish diet is not a vegan diet==

			In regard to this edit , the Ornish diet is not a vegan diet. It has always included egg whites and non-fat dairy products. The secondary sources on the article are reliable that document this, you can also find the information on Ornish's own website "''Non-fat dairy foods (no more than 2 servings/day) and egg whites are included''" and "''A low-fat, plant-based approach that includes a variety of whole grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes (and nonfat dairy and egg whites if you’re following the Dr. Dean Ornish Program for Reversing Heart Disease) will provide you with more than adequate nutrition as well as delicious food with a bounty of health benefits''" . I am not sure why some in the vegan community still want to insist the Ornish diet is entirely plant-based. The diet also allows fish oil supplements. ] (]) 15:50, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
	I just drafted this article, and was surprised that no one had yet done so, as Dr. Ornish is well-known both among physicians and in pop culture- and a number of Misplaced Pages articles already link here. I know it's now a stub, and will expand shortly when time permits...of course I look forward to seeing others do so too.

Ornish himself? ] is your friend. ] \| ] 12:34, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

	I added a citation and explanation for the RCT that established this result. Basically, Ornish et al measured atherosclerotic progression by coronary arterial angiography. Dr. Ornish has done a number of other studies corroborating this result in the years since, which I can add later as time permits.

	== Section pertaining to Steve Jobs has unverifiable sources ==

	The sources used in the section mentioning Steve Jobs supposed diet being attributed to Dean Ornish are unverifiable: The tech.fortune.com link mentions nothing about Dean Ornish that I can find and the skepticblog.com link has no verifiable proof listed in it other than a link to another one of its pages where waiters that happen to have served Jobs and Ornish together seem to be speculating, and even then, they didn't even say that they thought Ornish prescribed him a diet of any kind. This section attributing Dean Ornish with prescribing any kind of special diet to cure Jobs cancer should be removed because of lack of verifiable evidence. ] (]) 04:03, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
