This is how I like humour in a debate to be handled, by sounding witty, smart and classy. Not constantly sounding drunk and loud (you know of whom I'm talking).

Sad to hear. Unfortunately “doctors” n educators are spewing, repeating the same old n tired false narrative. It’s not the meat. It’s the processed foods, sugars especially high fructose corn syrup. We also need to look at GMO plants n insecticides n soil conditions- Pasture raised meat n eggs n dairy add herbs n spices, sunshine n exercise as simple as stretching n taking a walk. Sorry for your loss.
What a lovely speech! My mother recently had cancer and his point about the 1970's China health survey really is fascinating. Cancer often correlates with high sugar intake, so I can believe older diets are better... if not necessarily modern vegan ones. 😏
Hello Dr. Chidi. Is there a special training for lifestyle medicine? I am a medical clinical officer in Uganda and I would wish to provide the service in my medical center. Thanks
Because they were all ego driven and ill prepared. He has surrendered himself to the art of healing. His quest is endless and selfless. True healing is his main mission.
One important factor you forgot to mention is that at Loma Linda the people living there are Seventh Day Adventist, which then means the Sabbath day rest together with the plant based diet are correlated.
While he did a great job with the limited time he had, vegan diets can indeed be healthier than omnivorous diets and veganism should be supported for many reasons, his health claims are highly exaggerated. His exaggeration is unfortunate because overselling the effects of plant-based diets can create distrust of research that supports our transition away from animal agriculture.
Why would it do that? He is talking about whole plant based foods vs meat and dairy. Not that all vegan food is healthy.. but that cutting out the meat and dairy will make you healthier.
@@carothehonestpeanut There is no doubt that cutting out animal foods and replacing them with healthy, or even processed, vegan options has beneficial health effects in most people. Many people, however, will not experience such great benefits as he claims and then they might abandon veganism or even become anti-vegan. For instance, vegans are protected against several cancers, but not by the extent he claims. So now even some cancer cases amongst vegans become cases against veganism and makes people wary of the fact that a vegan diet is healthy in general because unfortunately many people have issues with nuance, unlike yourself.
I would say there is very strong evidence in favor of whole plant foods and their beneficial effects on health. But veganism itself is an ethical/moral stance, and a vegan diet can be as healthy or unhealthy as you like.
@@TheStruggler101 The strength of the evidence for the positive health effects of whole (and even some refined) plant foods is hard to argue against. The effect sizes he claims can be questioned however. Questioned like: What did the rural Chinese people die from if not cancer? Did they live much longer than the richer city people?
@@VeggoFix Yeah thinking back, it did sound like he was infering something along the lines of 'you will be immune to cancer' which is obviously not true. I do agree with what you are saying, you make a good point 👍
No one seems to ask how many vitamin supplements a vegan takes to stay health. A vegitarian diet is much healthier. You don't require extra supplements to stay healthy. Even in biblical times they had goats, sheep and chickens to supplement their diets
Dr. Chidi Ngwaba has my vote. I like this guy .... Classy Honest Sincere A good representative of his vegan lifestyle: Good body, good voice, excellent arguments I read Dr. T. Colin Campbell's "China Study" excellent stuff
Brilliant insights which are fiercely contested because of politically misrepresented nutritional dogma. I am however optimistic that goodness is indestructible. Who does not need it?
Nope. Our forefathers ate clean organic grass fed meat, organic fruit and veg and they were fine. Lots of people on Carnivore are doing exceptional well. Veg has a lot of oxylates which are bad for you..
There are hundreds of millions of Indian Hindu’s out there. They are all vegetarian, are we saying they are all healthy and live longer? Now we have plant based meat, fish, sausages, cheese and all sorts of things popping up in the supermarket shelves. These things are loaded with chemicals and highly processed. How is this healthy? Most of agricultural products these days are loaded with chemicals, spays, genetically modified for size and looks, you can’t just assert they are healthier!!! Of course you can buy from local ethical farmers but the supplies are currently too small and not always regionally available. Sometimes also not affordable.
@cinnamon8884 I'm sorry but did you think that was a "gotcha" argument? 😂 if anything you've just proved his point, we wear glasses because they are a necessity to help us see, we grow old a it is the NATURAL course of life. Going vegan..... does none of those things. Meat has been an established and ingrained part of humanity's nutritional intake for thousands of years. If you can't see the point I'm making then I genuinely struggle to see how you have functioned as a human being thus far.
@@VincenzoInfi Just because something has been happening for a long time doesn't make it moral or healthy. For example for nearly all of human existence men have forced themselves on women. Now this is rightly call rape and not allowed. Equally murdering rival tribes is not normally allowed. Humans can be better than their nature. Not eating animals is just an extension of empathy to recognise the suffering of self aware animals, just as we empathise with our fellow humans and don't want to do them harm.
@@MoistVegan oh really? Because you’re talking to someone who doesn’t have a colon and eating leafy greens WILL cause diarrhea. And since I don’t have a colon, I can’t absorb as much water I’d have to constantly be taking anti-diarrheal medicine and I don’t want to do that
@@cinnamon8884not sure about you but I don’t want to take medication that I don’t need to take in order to not get diarrhea and get dehydrated I’ll stay away from leafy greens and continue eating a heavily carnivore diet for my health
My grandmother is 104 years old she always eats meat all her life plus she can still walk with a stick and do a lot of things a lot of people I know go vegan, then go back to eating normal food
Genetics allows a few of us to smoke extensively and live a long life. I, for one, am not willing to bet my life and health span on having the right genes to get away with smoking or eating meat. I don't mind dying, but I don't want it to be my fault.
People who eat the standard diet full of processed and junk food are dying younger. Just to eliminate this crap from your diet makes a big difference. But to say that meat is not good for you is a total nonsense! We are not herbivores, just look at the digestive systems of herbivores and carnivores. Well, believe what you want at your own peril.
Kinda ironic that your using the bacon tho argument on a comment section about how veganism is supposedly unhealthy. You picked the most unhealthy meat. Your hypocrisy is showing.
@@jamesadam4415 , I know that, but the question was: „Should the House go vegan?” And this guy, who was supposed to speak about veganism, only spoke about a plant-based diet.
@@nomindstate , I know perfectly well, mate. I'm arguing that the arrangement of this whole discussion, where they convened to have people speaking about something different than veganism, when their goal was, presumably, to speak about veganism, was nonsensical.
