Thank you for sharing Dr Michael Greger. Your work, insights and knowledge, in my eyes, is second to none. Best wishes and happy holidays to you and all of your team. Jason from Melbourne Australia.
Feeling much better since ditching 80% of processed foods including sugar, dairy and meat yrs ago. No joint pain, no cavities, better hair, skin, nails, digestion, no flu, etc. Fasting occasionally helps a great deal as well.
I think that the issues pointed out here that suggest intentional misleading is ripe for a national tv show. Time for another appearance on Kelly and Ryan? Dr. Greger needs to broaden his audience!
If only more of the audience would listen. I can still remember the information and studies he presented on the effects of eating chicken and other times soy and many people basically seemed to lose their minds and stop listening.
Animal Agriculture continues to distort factual data while paying for people to provide them with flawed data that is in their favour. Having lost a brother to cancer because he ate a diet mostly of animal products, I will no longer engage with anyone who insists that eating animal products is beneficial to a healthy lifestyle. However, I acknowledge that in many communities hunting is essential for survival, and fresh and frozen produce cannot easily be trucked or flown in. That is just the reality for many northern communities in Canada.
Yes, there's a difference between those of us who have the choice and those who don't. Those of us who DO have that choice heavily out-weigh that don't. Those such communities would definitely need more plants provided to them or ultimately move for a healthier life. Although, they don't have those choices if neither of those options are available, which is unfortunate!
I get all the nasty sugar and meat and eggs I "need" during traditional holidays and occasions. The rest of the time I'm eating WFPB (350-ish days per year) and this has worked wonders on my health for nearly eight years now. ONLY wish I'd learned to eat WFPB properly when I first started dabbling with meat avoidance. But I'm here now and will evermore be. Healthy and Rx FREE at 56 in America!!!
MIXED RESULTS FOR ME. I lived as a WFPB vegan for 7 years. I sent several autoimmune diseases packing within a couple months. AMAZING. But within a year or so my hormonal health was not great. Suddenly i was having panic attacks and anxiety combined with extreme fatigue. I was found to have very very low testosterone and progesterone. I had always had a very muscular physique as a former gymnast and professional cheerleader. I began struggling to keep muscle. I am now on what i feel is the best possible diet: i eat mostly plants but with moderate amounts of organic grass fed beef, wild caught seafood, pasture raised eggs, and small amounts of pasture raised chicken and pork from regenerative farms. I HAVE NEVER FELT BETTER. In the end, the extremes are rarely the perfect fit for most people. I continue to follow Dr Greger but I will never be "vegan" again.
But this does make me wonder, how healthy would meat really be if there were no intentional contamination to kill us all. Would meat really be how most people see or would it still somehow be harmful?
I smoked about 503,700 cigarettes in 23 years of smoking, that is 28 years of my life gone. I have eaten a carnivore diet (close to zero fruits & vegetables) for 4 years now, that's about 7300 burger patties and takes off another year and a half. Average male life expectancy in Australia is 81 years so I have about 2 or 3 years left. That's really funny because only since my switch to a carnivore diet have all my health issues cleared up and I'm feeling really good. Will see how much longer I can cheat death.
@@Spock_Rogers I have seen many studies quoted but there is no direct evidence that it is caused by cholesterol. The science is not so good when it relies on epidemiological studies. I was in such a bad place that I was willing to try this diet, still trying and it's still working wonders.
No, their added components from all the pesticides, herbicides, big pharma dewormers, antibiotics, ect., and artificial fertilizers. Plus the animals are designed to eat grass not grains so they produced different chemicals in their bodies all contributing to cancers. Not till a meat that is raised like it has been in nature for a million yrs is tested as a control do you have any idea whats normal. Interesting lack of mindset, duh
@@safffff1000 Heme-iron and cholesterol are the main components that cause the problems and then of course AGEs. Found in ALL types of meat, weird. There's a reason why it is called 'eating like a king'. They were the ONLY ones that could afford abundance of animal products and yet were always worse off than many of their underlings that apparently ate "inferior food(plants)". I take it you must be religious too then? They seem to be the only people who deny evolution. We have NOT evolved to consume animal products, our entire biology tells us this. Seeing as what's been in 'nature for million yrs'. We may be opportunistic, but that doesn't mean it ACTUALLY agrees with our system like plants do.
@@ddpwe5269 In see you must religious in your vegi religion. Man evolved on meat for millions of yrs. Don't have a stomach like primates to use a lot more fiber. Brain development happened because of massive nutrition easily digested by man. Didn't happen in plant eating primates
@@Goodmorning1221- Wait, so you believe that you get your b12 naturally from your diet? Do you drink untreated water or eat dirt that comes from your own grown plants? If not, your diet is being supplemented too. A quick google search would have helped you understand that EVERYONE supplements b12, unless they want you know, cholera etc that comes from drinking untreated water. Yes, even the very meat you eat is supplemented via the actually animal! That is the ONLY supplement I NEED to be taking, just like you and everyone else that eats a SAD. Even with the amount of animal products/processed foods people DO eat isn't enough to maintain proper levels of b12. No, you're right, it's ONLY vegan's that have to worry about this. Do you care to throw any other compound at us vegans that apparently we don't get in our diet? There's a whole list that people keep trying and failing at you could go through, but maybe, just maybe, a little research could go a long way and you will realize how wrong you are. Which there's nothing WRONG with, it's just whether or not you choose to change or just keep on shilling for the industry. If only people like you would stop regurgitating propaganda the industry has fed us for years, did some of your own RE-SEARCH and actually understood what you were saying (like myself and many others have done) you wouldn't make such comments anymore. Yes, I was there and then decided to open my eyes. See, the good thing is, your subconscious brought you here, so the seed is growing. It might take some time, but you'll come around, just like the rest of us.
The biggest issue is that these meat studies aren't studying grass fed organic beef. They're looking at the garbage most ppl eat. I am extremely strict on the meat that goes into my body.
Will you please answer the following point I've asked before but has not yet been addressed: what do you say about all those bona fide doctors and researchers like Dr Gabe Mirkin Dr Rhonda Patrick Dr Andrew Huberman and others who do eat an omnivore diet and do not see anything wrong with that?
Kind of hard to test that as you would need people eat what you like for years the way you like which isn't practical. What they typically have is observatinal studies and not interventional studies and people that eat meat, typically eat some processed meats as well. And they smoke more also and all these co-founding factors are not that trivial to account for.
@@Meathead-10810 I don't doubt it as the processed meats seem to be linked with cancer in most studies, but did you see a change in blood test results or are you talking about just how you felt?

My first step towards a carnivore diet was the vegan diet :) When your health fails remember to try eating only animal products for about a month and see if your health improves.
"Co-consumption of Vegetables and Fruit, Whole Grains, and Fiber Reduces the Cancer Risk of Red and Processed Meat in a Large Prospective Cohort of Adults from Alberta’s Tomorrow Project" People eating over 500g unprocessed red meat per week had 22% less cancers compared to people that ate the least unprocessed red meat when both groups ate lots of plants also. So should the vegans ditch their diet that they "enjoy" based on this data and start eating over half a kilo of red meat per week to reduce their cancer risk or are the observational studies only good enough to base your diet on when they fit the agenda?
@@Danuxsy Well not according to that data where people eating the most red meat had less cancers than people eating the least meats, like vegans and vegeterians would.
@@blotaftonWell, I have heard and read that a whole chicken or a large piece steak or ribs would be enough to feed a big family or even a village in some of those areas.
Ditched all animal products 10 years ago and never felt better than now. I have unlimited energy for the first time in my life and I’m 71.

@@anonymoose9801you mean air and light? Soil makes up little of the plant's composition. Look up photosynthesis. Who eats dirt?
