The documentary Forks Over Knives takes a look at the research of two doctors, Colin Campbell and Caldwell Esselstyn. Their extensive research over multiple decades revealed how animal protein can contribute to many degenerative diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease. They also found that animal protein can produce other problems in the body, one of which is erectile dysfunction.

As stated in the documentary, erectile dysfunction can often be one of the first signs that someone has arterial plaque buildup. With plaque buildup, the blood struggles to flow throughout the body, including to the penis. For many men, erectile dysfunction can be a red flag that they are at an increased risk of a heart attack.

So what should men do? Well, they could continue to eat a Western diet and take Viagra. They won't improve their health, but they will be able to have sex, albeit with the help of a pill. They could also just switch to a vegan diet.

A vegan diet, free from plaque-producing animal proteins, can help repair the endothelial cells and eradicate blockages. It can allow the body to heal from the damage that is limiting blood flow. And, when you increase blood flow, there is no need for Viagra. Just take a look at the clip below to here from the doctors and vegan patients about how it has worked for them.
