I am a long time vegan and everytime I tell someone to see the game changers I also recommend watching your video about it after it. We are all biased but it looks like you are doing a really good job on trying to present only the not-biased facts. That is why I think your videos are so great for meat-eaters. Also, you are VERY likable. I don't understand how someone would be angry with you because of your views. hahaha
Dude, your videos are really easy to watch and very captivating! You obviously know your stuff and are evidently passionate about helping people by the fact you fact check, take critique, answer questions and are honest. Your videos have a great pace and I’ve recommended them to many people. Keep up the great work and I’m looking forward to seeing more. Thank you
I subscribed after watching your first video. This is the second one I watched. The information is on point, no extremism or favoritism. Plus, I love the jokes! I've been vegan for 4 months. I've wanted to become a vegan for years, and with lockdown and staying and cooking at home and being in control of my food, I finally did it. Love the channel! Very informative!
I loved what you said in the last video about not liking that they really highlighted vegan junk food rather than whole plants. It felt like the video really prioritized highlighting the low barrier of entry to veganism rather than highlighting truly healthy veganism.
I appreciate the balance and the focus on science on your channel. Switching my family gradually to a more plant heavy diet and eventually Mediterranean or WFPB Vegan, we'll see how we go! But the more plants, the better, especially for my kids ❤
Hey man, I really enjoy your videos. I stumbled across your channel after watching The Game changers. I loved your fact check and now I am really hooked. I recently started studying nutrition at university so your channel basically is a goldmine. Please keep your future videos as humorous as this one! :D Greetings from Austria
The pushback from this film has been swift with an initial amateur wave, and now we are seeing a second wave of more coherent and focused criticism. Biolayne had some good points and some notable misfires. The majority of efforts are aimed at advancing a narrative that “vegans lie” - which is part of a broader narrative that is aimed at discrediting the people who step out front to lead... (Think the MSM portrayal of Joey Carbstrong) ... and overall just “cancel” veganism in the mainstream so that no matter what, people do NOT stop eating meat, dairy and eggs frequently.
I've been accused of lying too. People just can't accept that a whole foods plant based vegan diet is the best diet. My blood work is excellent. My health is excellent. I've been off meat for 32 years, and vegan for a total of 16 years, I'm never going back. Ever!
@@ethansmith6018 It is the difference between opinion and science. It is definitely OK to have a different opinion but when the opinion is not based in the best science people become chronically ill. I also don't like the idea of Gil being on Joe Rogan. Gil seems very down with the idea of doing the best you can and that incremental improvements are enough - Joe would eat that up as he clearly adds veg to his diet already. I mean good on Gil for being so realistic - but I think Joe needs a good shock to his testosterone suppliements. I'd love to see Greger on there giving Joe the same astonished laugh he gave Brian Rose on London Real. Check out QualityGains video called "The Unknown Genius Of Michael Greger - Vegan Vs Carnivore Diet" - it was eye opening to me.
@@timratdog6980 Chris backs his arguments up with data and peer reviewed research. I watched his entire podcast on Rogan and he didn't say anything really opinion based or bias in fact he actively tried not to. They sifted through the scientific research and have come to different conclusions which DOES happen which is why I said 'opinions'.
Nice vids man, helping me modify my diet. I was eating waaay too much fast food and processed foods. I'm now 95% plant based, helped my running, lowered my Blood Pressure (Which I thought was wierd) and my resting pulse rate also improved, no idea why. Overall, its a "lighter" diet but Ialso get to eat more lol, I do still eat meat, but more like once a month or so. Labels suck, I like the idea of just eating healthier and living better.
Richard Rule good do what works for you brother, I’m on keto and I feel amazing myself my joints stopped hurting, I’m super hyper and barely get tired anymore I assume that’s mostly not having any sugar, but I’m still new to any of these diets lol I’m athletic and always been in shape & my issues I’m having is putting on weight 😂 PS by law they have to get rid of trans fat very soon in all foods in the USA
I think the one major thing I got from The Game Changers, is just to skip the middle man. Most of what you're getting from the animals they got from the plants they're eating. So, why not just skip the middle man and go straight to the source. I don't care what people eat. I just want what's healthiest for me and my family. If there's even a small chance of any animal product causing any kind of issues with my health, then I don't want it.
I had high cholesterol with 18 and with 20 still. Values from ~110 mg/dl up to 137 mg/dl (test results). After 1 year of veganism my cholesterol got down to 78 mg/dl (test result).
Nutrition Made Simple! Let’s do nothing bro, people have already made their minds up and nothing that anyone says is going to change anything as you call call it half empty or half full, just change the way you say it and it will come across different. I know what my body tells me and I listen to it as it is my best ever doctor when it comes to how I feel, I will always be on the plant based diet people as none of them stand to gain or lose anything, it’s really hard to say the same thing about the meat industry tho wouldn’t you agree?!!
abdi amirghiasvand AKA captain fingers you’re wrong in saying that there is nothing that anyone say that will change people’s minds. People switch back and forth all of the time.
@@captainfingers1100 what? That makes no sense at all! People CHANGE their minds all the time. It happens countless times due to great documentaries like this one, health crises, etc. Were you ALWAYS plant-based? If so, you're of a very small minority of people, most people eat meat starting out. I switched after 49 years, 14 of which were very meat heavy due to low-carbing. People change. Viewing the "other side" as unchangable, bad, or dumb, just makes it less likely they will change. Compassion will get you much more. I think that's why Nutrition Made Simple is actually respected by meat eaters - he doesn't demean them because they haven't "seen the light"
Levi Wallach dude, even the ones who’ve made their minds up will have changed theirs at some point. When I said people have maid their minds up, I meant regarding meat or plant based died. I can not stand people who have little or no relevant knowledge on a subject yet make videos like this debunking stuff. Meat is no good for human consumption, the inarguable living proof is out there for everyone to see, period!! By the way I’ve not always been on plant based which is precisely why I have as strong an opinion on the subject!!
I have been vegetarian, not vegan, for about a year and I have lost weight, lowered my resting heart rate (it’s in the 50s!), and my performance in sport has improved. I don’t know how it has affected my cholesterol, or if all my health and fitness improvements are actually caused by my changed diet, or by something else, but it has definitely helped me. I would definitely recommend it, but alternatively it’s perfectly okay for people to continue eating meat and animal products, you don’t have to immediately go 100% vegan. You could try going pescatarian (where you don’t eat meat, but still eat fish) or vegetarian, or even just try and reduce the amount of animal products you eat, you don’t have to cut them out altogether! There are also environmental benefits to eating less meat, as livestock requires a lot of land and water.
Congratulations on and thanks for your videos. Great information with a balanced approach makes it so easy to listen to and ads a credibility that many others lack.
I'm vegan, and I just have to say I think you do a great job just laying things out. For me, I know that folks are not going plant-based over night (or by large numbers any time soon!). I appreciate your comment that if everybody switch to a 90-10 split with plants being the 90% part of their diet, I think that would be a stupendous step in the right direction for the animals, the environment, and people's health. So, thanks for your energetic approach!
@@taneeshaknight3901 What animals? Even being 80-100% carnivore only with pasture-raised beef, 1 cow would last you between 1-2 years if you take full advantage of the energy dense fat and nutrient dense organs. Being 100% pasture-raised means the deep roots of grass will make it roughly carbon neutral, no pesticides killing insects including native bee populations(literally one of the most important life forms on earth are being threatened) and causing male frogs to grow ovaries in their testicles among other things, no irrigation because deep roots don't need it unlike shallow crop roots, grass has water naturally so cows don't need nearly as much water as with dry feed that also needs irrigation to grow. No mice and other wild animals dying during harvesting, where survivors starve out after their population booms due to increase in food, then harvesting takes it away so they starve out. All mostly for soy, corn, and wheat, all generally bad for us, even worse when it's industrial seed oils and refined grains which is mainly what's causing heart disease and diabetes, not the highest quality most ethically raised animals. It's almost 2020 and they're STILL marketing corn oil as heart healthy on TV, and trying to replace all meat with garbage like Beyond Meat which is literally worse than even industrial farmed meat for health, worse in every sense than local pasture-raised beef, but people are so gullible, especially when you appeal to their emotions for animal suffering and exploit their ignorance and have them appeal to authority. People don't understand that animal farming is both the worst and best for the environment, as well as most and least ethical farming. It's not so black and white. Why should so many other animals(as well as human health and rights, it's far more complicated than our right to eat animals I don't mean that) suffer all to save like ONE cow a year or more per person who is >90% carnivore? Being even 90% plant-based with 10% coming from pasture-raised beef is like literally nothing, even just 2 ounces of beef liver per week would make a world of difference and wouldn't likely impact demand on beef in reality, and at least you'd be supporting a local farmer instead of big pharma getting B12 supplements. Maybe 1ml of fermented skate liver oil a day so 8 ounces would last 240 days and give you more vitamin K2 than you need, it's hard to get enough even on carnivore these days. There's no such thing as vegan humans and never will be, there's bug parts in your food guaranteed, coffee has up to 10% bug parts so we're not talking trace amounts. The most popular vegan foods are bad that way, like dates and nut butters. Vegans eat bugs anyway and their diet kills trillions and trillions just to produce their food, so IDK why they don't just use cricket flour to get a significant amount of nutrition from animals, or maybe oysters as they're non-sentient and that seems to be the issue vegans have, and farmed oysters is actually environmentally friendly and as good nutritionally as wild unlike farmed fish. Mushrooms are closer to being like animals and are non-sentient too, those are vegan, why not oysters? Honey isn't vegan, even though something like Really Raw Honey is far more friendly to bees than most vegan foods are, because their bees are never used for agriculture and doesn't involve pesticides killing native bee populations. The logic for what is and isn't vegan makes no sense, and if it's about the environment and reducing animal suffering as much as possible, then it should include pasture-raised beef. Almost no other animals are impacted other than the cows, and they spend most their life peacefully grazing in pastures, if anything they're better off than in the wild because they're at least somewhat protected from wild predators that would brutally kill them compared to what we do. But vegans are so delusional they'd rather countless other animals literally suffer to save one cow, that isn't even suffering all that much, with no significant negative impact on the environment and is even good for the environment in many ways, such as the soil and grass. Vegans will cry about fires in the Amazon and blame literally ALL meat eating and people who eat meat, and turn a blind eye to drought and wildfires in Cali(not to mention drug cartels in Mexico with avocado farming, vegan is about power and money over human health, independence, and even life not animals or the environment) that are being worsened by 80% of the world's almonds coming from Cali, 5 liters of water to produce ONE almond. The water required for pasture-raised beef is nothing like that, almost all of it comes from natural rain. It's literally the most sustainable and ethical way to produce food, and one of the best for human health and independence. I'm so tired of the same misinformation like 80% of soy being to feed livestock, which isn't an issue if you get pasture-raised anyway, when it's for soybean oil production for human consumption, and the byproduct is what's fed to livestock, and even still mainly chickens and pigs not so much cows. Most the rest that's fed to livestock is unfit for human consumption, as if it was to begin with. Many vegans actually support factory farming of animals more than I do, by supporting the same industries that are literally feeding those animals, even though I've been close to 100% carnivore lately.
All that said I don't hate vegans or anything, it's really more like a tough love. It really bugs me when vegans think the whole world should eventually be at least mostly plant-based if not vegan, while ignoring a well-planned carnivore-based diet can be better in every sense, even for environment and ethics while being great for human health and independence from powerful corporations not just in control of most our food supply, but even the genetics of the food we eat, which is scary. Obviously not everyone can do carnivore like I do, whether it be prohibitively expensive or lack of access to quality animal foods, but that's not the point. Carnivores aren't the ones trying to make the whole world carnivore, we're more concerned about maintaining our own rights and human rights in general, which vegans are threatening to take away. I was very plant-based and near vegan for a long time, and seriously considering vegan too, but I wasn't confident enough in my knowledge of nutrition and whatnot, really glad I didn't dive into that in retrospect because I might still be vegan if I wasn't just plant-based 1-2 years ago before becoming more carnivore. I was almost convinced animal foods are totally unnecessary for optimal health or at least not that important due to supplements, I realize how wrong that is now regardless of lack of scientific evidence. Science can be extremely misleading when people reach the wrong conclusions, like whole foods plant-based being healthy because it can reverse heart disease. It does so by having little to no dietary cholesterol(which doesn't really matter anyway) and saturated fat which keeps cholesterol low, in other words it works similarly to statins. Both dietary cholesterol and carbs are non-essential because the body will produce what it needs, but even at best I don't think your body produces enough cholesterol for optimal health, and that it can contribute to heart disease but isn't the cause of it, calcium can contribute to blockages too without enough things like vitamin K2. Little to no dietary cholesterol and keeping your body's production of cholesterol low isn't good for optimal health, so even in that specific sense, it doesn't lower risk of heart disease in a sense that's actually healthy. Carnivore can by eliminating the things from plants that are the true cause, mainly refined carbs and oils but even too much carbs and omega 6's from whole foods, with too much animal fat can do it. Carnivore can reverse severe ulcerative colitis and Krohn's disease too, both are guaranteed to get worse and even life-threatening on vegan. But vegans think science supports their diet and not carnivore, simply due to anecdotal evidence and lack of scientific evidence.
I'm from india , and wanted to say in my country 10% people is lecto-vegiterian and 30% people is vegetarian,in my State Gujarat 70% people is non meat eaters, so in my family all generation is newer eat meat or egg anything so my gut microbiome is very efficient to digest beans like black beans , mung etc... Where my other friends who converted to vegan have some digesten issue with very high fiber foods
Great video, I like your approach. Many people dont like vegans because some act like its a cult. I became 95% vegan about 2 months ago (still eat cheese once in a while) and so far so good, and lost 5 lbs in the process. I feel like it forces you to cook more, which is usually a good thing, regardless of the diet your on.
I'm 65 years old, after having surgery I gained weight, was never a big veg Or meat fan, mostly pasta, ice cream, junk. I quit the carbs, sugar and junk and lost 15 lbs. I eat veg, fruit, fish, chicken and some red meat. I feel better but still have muscle pains.
Really appreciate your pragmatic approach to nutrition. It becomes a religion for many who feel offended by any amount of information that challenges their current core beliefs. I think you hit the nail on the head when you clarified that eating a primarily plant based diet is better for you than what most people eat today. That's the point, moving the needle even just a little bit for the overall population would have tremendous health, environmental, and economic impacts for everyone. Whatever it takes to get there is probably worth it in the end. Thanks again for your contributions to UA-cam.
As an athlete who tried it myself already 2 years ago, I just laugh at all those debunking morons. I thought I life healthy and perform at max level with my mediterranean diet until I tried a 100% plant based diet: after 3 weeks I pulverized my personal bests in every category due to better recovery, better sleep, better digestion and and and. Felt 10 years younger... it´s not magic, it real !
@@imrandma the whole tone of this video is the opposite of yours. Don't you see how many more people you could convince if you weren't so hateful and dismissive of people who disagree with you. You don't get people to agree with you by calling them morons.
The humour at the end kinda calmed me down. I appreciate your views and your way of explaining things. Your conciliatory nature is most likely a better approach, to carry forth a message. My only gripe is that I found that this need to appease the carnivore fans, may downplay the importance of the unquestionable fact that a whole foods, plant based diet is superior to a meat one for the majority of average folks. Thanks for your efforts... I think?
As you said, it's "most likely a better approach." I don't see this as "appeasement." Look at this and look at Earthling Ed's approach. They actually both make great points because they aren't yelling or demeaning people for disagreeing with them. Nutrition Made Simple is of course telling people that eating some small amount of meat is ok, because he's coming at it from the scientific side. It's true that the science can't prove that eating 5% of your calories as animals is harmful, we just don't have this data. We have data that can be interpreted in that way, but it's an interpretation, it's not direct irrefutable evidence. We can say the more plant-based you are the better, but we don't know if there's a cut-off at which it just isn't important, be that 5% or even 10%. Most Blue Zones have this level of animal consumption yet live vital lives into their 100s. One can argue that environmental and animal welfare issues make the issue irrelevant and that we should all ditch all animal products, but the film did not tackle those issues and neither did Nutrition Made Simple.
@@dvdmon Thoughtful and well articulated. Can't argue with you. Can only reiterate the point that people can live perfectly well without ingesting animal products. And I saw the video as pandering a bit. But you're right, a diet comprised of only a small proportion of animal products can be healthy and would still be a vast improvement for the environment - the only issue would be animal cruelty, to a certain extent. And in all likelihood remains the most practical and best approach to get people to make changes to their current predominantly animal product diets.
First off, wanted to say I appreciate your love for real science. I appreciate you clearly stating that everything should be fact checked (even you). Unfortunately most people do not go through the process of looking up studies or meta-analyses, in order to get the actual information. When someone is trying to make a point, if you give them an inch, they will take a mile. You had a small section in this video regarding the slowing of coronary heart disease with a “Mediterranean” vs a vegetarian diet actually reversing coronary heart disease. I read the latter study and it is not conclusive that a vegetarian diet is the reason for the patients having these results. The study states “after 1 year, 28 patients were assigned to an experimental group (low-fat vegetarian diet, stopping smoking, stress management training, and moderate exercise) and 20 to a usual-care control group.” So basically people quit smoking, attended stress management training, started exercising and switched to a low fat vegetarian diet (which I can almost guarantee put them all in a caloric deficit, causing fat loss). To credit the change in heart disease to just the type of diet is very disingenuous. The conclusion of the study clearly states “Comprehensive lifestyle changes may be able to bring about regression of even severe coronary atherosclerosis after only 1 year, without use of lipid-lowering drugs.” I would credit the changes in heart disease to the fact that the patients all quit smoking, started exercising, had stress management training and changed their diet (which most likely helped create a caloric deficit, along with the exercise, to help them lose fat as well). I would NOT credit it specifically to a low-fat vegetarian diet. I would argue the same results would be seen if you equated calories/protein, and used a Mediterranean diet in place of the low-fat vegetarian diet.
ichew gum All I’m saying, is according to the aforementioned study, positive lifestyle changes have shown to bring about regression of heart disease. You cannot attribute it to just one of the lifestyle changes alone... you must attribute it to all of them being used in unison. Now, this is also not meant to be taken as fact. More studies need to be done as well as meta-analyses of said studies. You should never draw absolute conclusions from a single study.
ichew gum I’m also not stating that eating meat alone will reverse heart disease. At all. Even if I did, that would be anecdotal evidence and should never be taken as fact. However, you cannot attribute the results of the study just to a plant based diet. That’s simply one of many things that attributed to it. I do believe they should replicate the study, equate calories and protein, and have them eat a balanced diet of white meat, fish, fruits, grains and vegetables. I think it would be interesting to see the results. I believe you would see similar results.
@deezisbak I agree with the gist of your criticism. I referenced the lifestyle heart trial because it was the 1st. the Esselstyn study (2017) showed similar results only with dietary changes, suggesting the diet is enough. the shortcoming of this study is that it was not structured as an RCT and their reference group are the drop outs. this is why we have to look at totality of evidence to see trends and glean likelihoods. I agree with you we can't say with 100% certainty that plant-based diets reverse heart disease (although the totality of data strongly suggests it). notice I said "seems to" in the video to be accurate, I try to be very careful with the wording on these videos bc I realize it's important unfortunately I can't go through all these considerations in a video like this, the goal of the channel is to give ppl the gist of the info to make healthy choices. it has to be accurate and honest but still remain 'simple'. not easy. the point I was trying to make was more that this is 1 type of argument used by those advocating a vegan/vegetarian diet over a more 'moderate' pattern good sleuthing though. that's the stuff right there :) PS. while I can't do all that explaining in a video like this, I can include more references so it doesn't seem like I'm basing the claim on just the one. I'll add the others. good point
@@NutritionMadeSimple N of 1 here, but I've been on the Esselstyn diet for almost 2.5 years. I had to have an angiogram earlier this year due to a faulty stent placement from back in 2014 that caused plaque to build up around it (it was protruding from the diagonal artery it was placed into the LAD), but other than that buildup, the largest occlusion was shown at 40%. Whereas back in 2014 when I got that initial stent there were multiple blockages noted ranging from 50 to 80% which they didn't stent because they weren't severe enough or they were in places that were too challenging to stent.
You have been so great at Fact-Checking all of this. I went Vegan last month. I lift more in the gym, feel better, I love it. AND, it’s extremely good for the planet. I don’t know what people are waiting for. Get good at cooking and go vegan.
@@miguelduarte75 if thats so important there could be an adjustment period, but also at the end of the day ur gonna have a lot of fiber and water in ur belly and intestines and ur gonna look “full”, and thats normal
I'm vegan for 13 years now and meat free for about 15. I agree that on this topic there is too much sectism, people who are totally pro or totally against it. I place myself in the middle. I'm totally plant based but for ethical reasons, not necessarily health reasons. I agree on the fact that people can eat animal products and still be healthy, but this is not the point. I saw many times people yelling stuff like "you can't be an athlete without meat", "you'll be iron deficient", and others... It's a good thing that there is debate on this, without debate and serious research there is no advance in knowledge. So thanks for your work 👍👍👍
This video is very well out together!! Thanks man lots of great information... I started a plant based diet 4 days ago so I'm totally new lol I hope it gets me where I need to be I was on keto and my cholesterol went crazy
There was a study mentioned by Joel Kahn on JRE in which they measured arteries function after eating a burger, and then eating a burger with a big salad. They didn't find the same negative effects when the meat was combined with the salad. That tells me that the observed negative health effects of meat are probably due to its lack of fiber and water, and that can be easily countered by consuming vegetables and fruit in the same meal. Hydration is often overlooked in all those nutrition debates.
I agree with you Dr. Gil i also check on everything what really important is that i felt way more better, evidence if i really when we try it for ourselves if its true or not what is really important we become healthier as we get older🤗😍💪
i love this guy! well spoken, funny, good personality and nails everything. what you said about the war in diet culture and grass fed vs conventional (and all the evidence we have on heme iron TMAO sat fat etc) plus the ‘bigger picture’ being mediteranian, paleo, plant based, veggie etc all focusing on less processed and more whole foods is rad. spot on. i think its sad we have people who promote an all raw diet or oil free sugar free restrictive vegan diet fighting people who promote an all meat/egg diet 😂 why not incorporate the best that both worlds have to offer? some days i eat eggs and fish. others i eat tofu and tempeh, lentils and soy meat. i always have fruits and veggies. i have white rice if i want it and brown bread/oatmeal etc
Okay pain from certain vegetables. So you don't eat those vegetables. Until you figure out your gut problems. Yeah we know that high fat foods and processed foods are not good for us. Yes not adding cholesterol helps lower your cholesterol. Yes emotionally and definitely mentally it helps to know that I'm not harming creatures. I love how you point out the fact that it's still animal tissue. You finish strong! Great job.
It challenges peoples beliefs, way of life, the way they interact socially. People naturally resist change. Going whole food plant based has been the best thing for both my wife and myself. Amazing changes and we thought we ate really well already. Once you take the Red pill there is no going back.
For me it's enough to survive and feel ok on plants. Because I really don't want to support animal agriculture and pay for animal exploitation. If eating plants instead of meat lowers my risk for heart disease and cancer it's a welcome bonus. But I would choose to eat plants only even if it meant a "just ok" health status.
Great video! Make a collab video with Gojiman on gut health I'd be interested in knowing your insights/understanding of gut health...also consider reaching out to him in regards to your mother's GI health you may find an answer to her problem
I not pro-vegan, pro-carnivore, pro-keto or any other kind of diet. I just want to be healthy and know the truth about health markers. Is that too much to ask? I lost a bunch of weight on low carb but saw no improvement on my cholesterol numbers and I wasn’t even eating that much saturated fat. Now I’m trying more vegan based, I’ll see what happens. Optimally I’d like a low carb and low saturated fat diet but my tastes expand beyond cardboard.
I’ve eaten meat for 37years until I watched Game Changers, I’ve tried 100% plant based food for 2 week and I can admit I feel better for it, however I’ve decided to go back a small step, I’m gonna keep eating chicken and fish, as for dairy I’m happy with soy but I will have the occasional bit of cheese, would t class myself as vegan or a meat eater, kind of a inbetweener.. My cholesterol was high (6.4) before trying plant based, I’m gonna get another cholesterol test done soon so I’m hoping that being a half vegan helps lower my cholesterol, time will tell, thanks for the video it’s a lot of help 👍
I am vegan, but also love facts and science. Except for the bacteria and toxins that are sometimes found in seafood, a pescetarian diet is even healthier than a vegan diet. I simply don't trust (or am to lazy or cheap to look for it) seafood sources...companies lie...ex: many scallops are actually shark meat; many shrimp are caught in polluted waters or are processed using slave labor in Thailand; a lot of 'wild' salmon is actually farm-raised....
@@wynnhorton1208 Eat seaweed if you want to cut down on fish and the risks associated with it. Fish appears healthier at first, as it is high in omega 3 fatty acids, however, the oceans are increasingly polluted with dead zones and so forth, and in some places there's alot of neurotoxins in fish due to cyanobacteria contamination (which are thriving due to climate change). These neurotoxins can be scary stuff as they can accumulate and produce degenerative nervous disorders. I knew this even when I was eating alot of fish and it gave me pause for concern. At the very least, you should avoid fish from warm waters, where red tides are common. Shellfish is especially bad for this kind of toxin, which is too bad as some in the animal welfare movement consider shellfish to be an acceptable food as many of them have no central nervous system, or very primitive ones if they have one at all. Oceanic pollution is a real tragedy because so much of the world depends on the oceans for basic food.
There’s one big point missed in all of these discussions, animals are not nutrition, they are living conscious beings & it’s sad that they’re never considered in people’s not so “personal” choices. I really like your channel & understand your focus is on health but it’s not a bad thing to mention the ethical side in these choices that people make. Finally as far as gut health, sibo, ibs etc are concerned you should reach out to gojiman he has a lot of knowledge in that area & you’re both very much science based so it would make for a great discussion! Subbed!!
Thank you so much for being incredibly informative and objective in the way you approach these nutritional topics. It's really refreshing. I was lucky enough to obtain a Bachelor's Degree in Environmental Science and the main reason I went octovegetarian/plant based was because of the environmental impacts. But, I really dislike being thrown in the vegan box because people have this preconceived view that I think a certain way. I was lucky enough to be raised by my parents in Australia on a farm. I ate grass fed beef and lamb and ate fresh eggs everyday. I also hunted small and big game for my dinner plate. I did that for 26 years until I made the switch. Now fours years meatless and diary free. I've been plant based for three years and have recently got my own property, keep chickens, and have farm fresh eggs again. My point to all this is people box themselves into these ideologies and it can be extremely limiting. It can limit your social experiences, your traveling experiences, and life experiences. I really don't mind if people choose to eat meat. Sure in a perfect world I wish we'd all reduce our consumption and lessen our individual impacts on the Earth, but, it is not within my right to tell people how to live their lives. What I really wish for is we'd have more logical, factual, and evidence based conversations as you my friend are opening a space for. If I'm honest I hate documentaries like game changers and cowspiracy they do nothing to convince people to eat less meat or change their livelihoods. It simply adds more confusion and misrepresentation. So, thank you for being a voice of reason. You have won over another fan and subscriber. Keep up the excellent work 🙏
This video above was only about health outcomes from various diets. It does not address other issues like the environmental impact of animal agriculture, nor other issues like antibiotic resistance, zoonotic diseases, nor the morality of needlessly killing innocent sentient individuals. Some of those topics are covered in some of his other videos on this channel. All of his videos are supported by science and based on critical thinking.
Hi Gil. I really enjoy your channel. I havs one question regarding proteins in plants. Are there any differenses regarding the bio availability for humans between plant proteins and meat proteins?
I question your statement about how there is not as much data about the range from mostly plants to only plants (if I got that right). Can you address the findings from Loma Linda showing vegans as healthier than the non-vegans? Thanks!
You do some great work here but when you talk about long-term health you have to throw the environmental costs into the equation as with current trajectory business as usual we are heading for extinction of most if not all humans. Grass-fed beef/ non-organic beef is far more destructive and resource-intensive than the vast majority of plant-based alternatives, even considering some of the worst chemical-based productions. Animal agriculture the biggest cause of mass extinctions and about 38%-48% of the Earth's land is needed for this. Add in the mitigation factor (rewilding therefore carbon sink and biodiversity recreation) of winning back most of this land for plant-based alternatives and our present course towards world hunger then you will find that those grey areas you talk about being much more black-and-white. With societal collapse and world hunger, health collapses to the point of fatality. It is an emergency. Also I agree whole-heartedly with the ethics point made below. We are in this mess because of an insane individualistic anthropocentric mindset ("All about me" - bubble illusion) and shutting off from our compassion (killing of dogs is horrendous, but who gives a shit about cows). Compassion is actually necessary for our survival and good health! Why not mention or debate, if you want, these "facts"? www.cowspiracy.com/facts/
I wouldn't say that difference between industrial animal and free-range pastured raised animals or wild for that matter, is about fatty acids profile, but more about xenobiotics given them in crowded cages to prevent spreading diseases. It possibly can accumulate in fat tissue of animal, and be absorbed by humans, so long term exposure can be harmful.
I dont eat meat but some veggies i cant eat without my ibs making double over,one year my sister made mashed cauliflower for Christmas i had some without know and had such bad pain and inflammation i had to go to the er.
As people like Dr Greger have said, the Mediterranean diet is not one single way of eating, it is an umbrella term for the many countries in the area, all of which eat very different diets, some heavy meat and some less. You cant just say eat Mediterranean diet. Even the 2019 IPCC report from the united nations said the Mediterranean diet was the most unenvironmenatally friendly diet of them all. It scored lower then the carnivore diet! Meaning that in general it is a meat, dairy and egg heavy diet still. The vegan diet was obviously way on top.
Genuine question, if TMAO is independently linked to heart disease like you state in the video, why is consumption of fish, specifically oily fish associated with a reduced risk of CVD? Fish being by far and away the highest source of dietary TMAO
Some people don't realize that diets are not tailored for the individual but on some average of people. Why everyone believes that? What works for me might work for you or not. Or it could also kill you, but not kill me.
Very good video and well explained . The personal experience I like it most because how we can see there is no 100% proven research and the science can be wrong as we know from our history. My personal opinion and as you mention on the video is just try and then decide if something is good for you. I was very sceptical about vegetarians and vegans until I tried for a little bit longer period of time to be my way of living and I found out that there is no difference I was still training 5-6 times a week and I ask my self if I don't feel something wrong why some animal has to die for something which I don't feel need?
"...all those antibiotics that come with factory farmed animals..." I'm not sure what you mean. An animal that was sick and was treated with antibiotics according to label instructions and later sold for human consumption? Are you referring to bambermycin as a growth promotant and if so what is your concern? What's up, Doc?
Hi Gil, I am trying to get a distinction between SALT and SODIUM. If I ate high quality plant based diet, with absolutely NO ADDED SALT, approximately how much sodium would I ingest? Would it meet the health guidelines of 1500 mgs of sodium per day, or come under?
Is protein from plant's, nuts, beans is absorbs the same like protein from animal source? Like you eat 20 grams of protein, is all get absorbed ore is a difrence between the quantity that's get absorb?
When you consume protein from an animal you get the full molecule. You stomach then breaks it down to get lipids and amino acids, which are now damaged from being broken down, so you intestines can metabolize the string of acids left BACK into protein. When you eat plants there is only the amino acids so it doesn't break it down further and you intestines can metabolize the acids and lipids into protein with no damage to the molecular structure. Animals middle man your nutrition because they have already metabolized the nutrients our bodies need.
The conversion rate of amino acids in plants is WAY WAY WAY higher than the deconstruction of of protein into lipids and acids convert back into protein
Great vibe overall from your video. 7:59 However, TMAO is possibly not an independent risk factor, as it associates positively with HOMA-IR, in this comparison between high WG and high refined carb metabolomics study. academic.oup.com/ajcn/article-abstract/110/4/984/5552380 For sure, vegans will have lower serum TMAO than Western Diet.
Thanks a lot for your amazing work. Your videos are great. Question, what’s your opinion on whey protein for people who exercise regularly and wanna build muscles but are skinny and have difficulties to gain weight. Namaste.
pretty sure grass fed meat still increases MTOR and IGF-1, TMAO; it also contains heme iron and Neu5Gc. omega 3s may be increased slightly but i mean.... then there's the sat fat and cholesterol. i wonder if you would reach out to Gojiman to discuss the gut issues.. he focuses on this and is vegan so maybe a discussion might help you guys troubleshoot. great vid
Hi sir, thank you for the content that you've put out. Really appreciate your effort for doing so. I just switched to plant-based diet a week ago and I have been getting good results. You mentioned saturated fat is bad. So my question is, how about saturated fat from plants? Are they safe to be comsumed? Thank you and hope you can clarify on this matter! 😊
Can you address vitamins? How to maintain a healthy daily percentage--especially if you're on a plant-based diet. Also, can you address supplements (I'm skeptical about most supplements but do take a daily b-50 and d)?
It seems complicated to figure out the truth in all this since every information on diet seems biased for economical, environmental and ethical reasons. Probably the diet vegan doesn't solve all health problems but it seems that it solves many and has an undoubtly positive environmental & ethical impact. However, I'm wondering what do you think of keto diet because some of the health claims go against the vegan diet regarding animal fats. I know you can have vegan keto diet but according to the movie the basic keto diet would be bad whereas some sources say it is good. Thoughts?
we don't have long-term data on the exact diet low-carbers promote, but the data we do have suggests health risks. I suspect for anyone bent on low-carb, the plant-based version is the safer bet
I think if the vegetables, like any other diet bothers you, (head slap) maybe your body telling you it isn’t something it wants. Listen to your body, oats are not my friend!
ichew gum your not proving any point by saying feed a baby adult food 🤦♂️ having your body in Ketosis if proven healthy and to help cure a lot of problems, million times more healthy than any vegan diet 😂
ichew gum just to name a few because you’re clearly uneducated in the matter The Maasai tribe of Kenya & the Inuit people of Canada Greenland and Alaska all eat nothing but meat 😂 to take it a step further the Inuit people don’t eat any vegetables and they are healthy 🤷♂️ name an entire tribe or culture of people eating vegan that has thrived for 100’s of years I’ll wait 😂
ichew gum no they don’t lmfao the longest leaving people in the world are from Italy and Japan lol they aren’t vegans omg you’re fucking stupid 😂 vegan brain fog 🤣
@3.15 (approx) - gi, cibo, ibs, ... pain from eating plants... - yes, people’s gut / digestion / whole body even, can be sensitive to a number of things, including medicine, plants, wheat, gluten, legumes/lentils/beans, ...; the issue is not what you(r gut/digestion/body) can be sensitive to, resulting in pain, acne, ... - but rather, what is the solution that is the safest for your health short-term but especially long-term. Having gone through chemo, if you could travel back a 100 years ago and told people / physicians / MDs to pump some poisonous stuff into the veins of people who had tumors (assuming they were diagnosed as such), you’d been laughed at (or treated worse). And it sounds pretty crazy, yet it does work. But that doesn’t mean you should be injecting such stuff into your body just because you want to get healthier, also you should not forget the severe short-term and possibly long-term side-effects of doing so (chemo) - the substances injected into me during chemo also attacked something else in my body, resulting in me developing very high fever and I had to be hospitalized... 4 or 5 times during my 6 month of chemo (don’t remember) and left me very weak with trouble to hold food in my stomach for months afterwards too (and of course also during chemo). But I would do it again if I had to, not because I “believe in it” but because it’s the current state of medical science (except plants-only whole-foods nutrition to help w/ bouncing back / killing cancer cells - all of which I did not know about back then, sadly). Meat is dead cells and fats. Dairy milk comes from female animal mammals, produced during pregnancy and for a while afterwards, and is produced for their animal mammal babies; human milk comes from female human mammals, produced during pregnancy and for a while afterwards, produced for their human mammal babies. Both are milk and look (from what I’ve seen) the same / very similar, yet they (probably) taste slightly differently - their genetic makeup / and/or chemical composition is slightly different. Because of this chemical and/or genetic difference, humans consuming animal milk increase their risk of developing tumors / cancer. And cheeses, requiring huge amount of milk, if from animals, therefore greatly increase the chance of developing tumors/cancer. Humans who consume meat also increase their risk of developing tumors/cancer because of heme iron. And the same goes for eggs. There is also another major risk associated with foods created from animal and consumed by humans, which is the high amount of saturated fat contents, but let’s leave that aside because of the cholesterol deniers. And all those are facts due to having been proven to be true, lab controlled via bio-test on a cellular level, but also statistically and many lab controlled peer reviewed tests that were done. Simply put, any foods created from animals or their secretions (lactation) will increase your risk to develop cancer, by a large amount, so not by some negligible amount. Again, that’s not what I believe, but it’s a fact. Another fact, again lab-tested and peer-reviewed, is that eating a varied / diverse whole-foods plants-only and especially high in leafy greens diet will do the opposite, greatly reducing the chances of developing cancer / tumors, but even more so, reversing / healing existing ones... but that does not mean if developing cancer, then not to go see a MD and specifically an oncologist and might still require undergoing chemotherapy and/or radiation. There are also other predicted effects of healing such a plant diet can have, healing a number of different diseases for different reasons. Can meat / dairy / eggs possibly help ease and/or even heal certain stomach pains / sensitivities? Maybe short term. But the same should be achievable through proper testing and then taking the correct medication, in conjunction with consuming a non-animal foods diet, which will also decrease the risk of developing heart and other diseases.
Improving the mediteranean diet to whole food plant based diet, this has been done: nutritionfacts.org/video/the-mediterranean-diet-or-a-whole-food-plant-based-diet/ nutritionfacts.org/video/improving-on-the-mediterranean-diet/
I am a long time vegan and everytime I tell someone to see the game changers I also recommend watching your video about it after it. We are all biased but it looks like you are doing a really good job on trying to present only the not-biased facts. That is why I think your videos are so great for meat-eaters.
Also, you are VERY likable. I don't understand how someone would be angry with you because of your views. hahaha
haha thanks Gabriela!!
@@NutritionMadeSimplevery happy
"Also, peace of mind also matters" That's it, right there.
Please don't sell out, keep your skeptical two-sided approach. We need more science-based vegans!
I really enjoy the way you communicate information. Direct and to the point. Thank you.
thanks Mark!
Me too
Totally. This is the type of guy I would like to talk to about this topic.
Dude, your videos are really easy to watch and very captivating!
You obviously know your stuff and are evidently passionate about helping people by the fact you fact check, take critique, answer questions and are honest.
Your videos have a great pace and I’ve recommended them to many people.
Keep up the great work and I’m looking forward to seeing more.
Thank you
thanks Richard!!!! :)
I subscribed after watching your first video. This is the second one I watched. The information is on point, no extremism or favoritism. Plus, I love the jokes! I've been vegan for 4 months. I've wanted to become a vegan for years, and with lockdown and staying and cooking at home and being in control of my food, I finally did it. Love the channel! Very informative!
thanks!! welcome
I loved what you said in the last video about not liking that they really highlighted vegan junk food rather than whole plants. It felt like the video really prioritized highlighting the low barrier of entry to veganism rather than highlighting truly healthy veganism.
I appreciate the balance and the focus on science on your channel. Switching my family gradually to a more plant heavy diet and eventually Mediterranean or WFPB Vegan, we'll see how we go! But the more plants, the better, especially for my kids ❤
Hey man, I really enjoy your videos. I stumbled across your channel after watching The Game changers. I loved your fact check and now I am really hooked. I recently started studying nutrition at university so your channel basically is a goldmine. Please keep your future videos as humorous as this one! :D
Greetings from Austria
The pushback from this film has been swift with an initial amateur wave, and now we are seeing a second wave of more coherent and focused criticism. Biolayne had some good points and some notable misfires.
The majority of efforts are aimed at advancing a narrative that “vegans lie” - which is part of a broader narrative that is aimed at discrediting the people who step out front to lead... (Think the MSM portrayal of Joey Carbstrong) ... and overall just “cancel” veganism in the mainstream so that no matter what, people do NOT stop eating meat, dairy and eggs frequently.
Very valid points!
I've been accused of lying too. People just can't accept that a whole foods plant based vegan diet is the best diet. My blood work is excellent. My health is excellent. I've been off meat for 32 years, and vegan for a total of 16 years, I'm never going back. Ever!
Red Pill Vegan just read the Biolaynr article. Where did he misfire according to you?
Crepito i may do a video on it
If they can't argue facts, they attack the messenger.
Joe Rogan needs to get this guy on his podcast rather than Chris frickin Kresser
Chris Kresser isn't that bad, he just has a different opinion. I say why not both?!
@@ethansmith6018 It is the difference between opinion and science. It is definitely OK to have a different opinion but when the opinion is not based in the best science people become chronically ill. I also don't like the idea of Gil being on Joe Rogan. Gil seems very down with the idea of doing the best you can and that incremental improvements are enough - Joe would eat that up as he clearly adds veg to his diet already. I mean good on Gil for being so realistic - but I think Joe needs a good shock to his testosterone suppliements. I'd love to see Greger on there giving Joe the same astonished laugh he gave Brian Rose on London Real. Check out QualityGains video called "The Unknown Genius Of Michael Greger - Vegan Vs Carnivore Diet" - it was eye opening to me.
@@timratdog6980 Chris backs his arguments up with data and peer reviewed research. I watched his entire podcast on Rogan and he didn't say anything really opinion based or bias in fact he actively tried not to. They sifted through the scientific research and have come to different conclusions which DOES happen which is why I said 'opinions'.
@@timratdog6980 Regardless this fellow 100% deserves to be given a good platform on Rogan.
Tim Ratdog he uses science 😂 just not the science that fits your narrative 🤷♂️ 🤷♀️
Nice vids man, helping me modify my diet. I was eating waaay too much fast food and processed foods. I'm now 95% plant based, helped my running, lowered my Blood Pressure (Which I thought was wierd) and my resting pulse rate also improved, no idea why. Overall, its a "lighter" diet but Ialso get to eat more lol, I do still eat meat, but more like once a month or so. Labels suck, I like the idea of just eating healthier and living better.
Richard Rule good do what works for you brother, I’m on keto and I feel amazing myself my joints stopped hurting, I’m super hyper and barely get tired anymore I assume that’s mostly not having any sugar, but I’m still new to any of these diets lol I’m athletic and always been in shape & my issues I’m having is putting on weight 😂 PS by law they have to get rid of trans fat very soon in all foods in the USA
@@Unique_Racing agreed man, good luck with the weightloss.
I think the one major thing I got from The Game Changers, is just to skip the middle man. Most of what you're getting from the animals they got from the plants they're eating. So, why not just skip the middle man and go straight to the source. I don't care what people eat. I just want what's healthiest for me and my family. If there's even a small chance of any animal product causing any kind of issues with my health, then I don't want it.
You're so good at addressing controversy and explaining everything as objectively and evidence based as possible
I had high cholesterol with 18 and with 20 still. Values from ~110 mg/dl up to 137 mg/dl (test results). After 1 year of veganism my cholesterol got down to 78 mg/dl (test result).
Addressing YOUR FAQs and some of the most common objections/comments to The Game Changers. Let's do this :)
Nutrition Made Simple! Let’s do nothing bro, people have already made their minds up and nothing that anyone says is going to change anything as you call call it half empty or half full, just change the way you say it and it will come across different.
I know what my body tells me and I listen to it as it is my best ever doctor when it comes to how I feel, I will always be on the plant based diet people as none of them stand to gain or lose anything, it’s really hard to say the same thing about the meat industry tho wouldn’t you agree?!!
abdi amirghiasvand AKA captain fingers you’re wrong in saying that there is nothing that anyone say that will change people’s minds. People switch back and forth all of the time.
@@captainfingers1100 what? That makes no sense at all! People CHANGE their minds all the time. It happens countless times due to great documentaries like this one, health crises, etc. Were you ALWAYS plant-based? If so, you're of a very small minority of people, most people eat meat starting out. I switched after 49 years, 14 of which were very meat heavy due to low-carbing. People change. Viewing the "other side" as unchangable, bad, or dumb, just makes it less likely they will change. Compassion will get you much more. I think that's why Nutrition Made Simple is actually respected by meat eaters - he doesn't demean them because they haven't "seen the light"
Levi Wallach dude, even the ones who’ve made their minds up will have changed theirs at some point.
When I said people have maid their minds up, I meant regarding meat or plant based died.
I can not stand people who have little or no relevant knowledge on a subject yet make videos like this debunking stuff.
Meat is no good for human consumption, the inarguable living proof is out there for everyone to see, period!!
By the way I’ve not always been on plant based which is precisely why I have as strong an opinion on the subject!!
I have been vegetarian, not vegan, for about a year and I have lost weight, lowered my resting heart rate (it’s in the 50s!), and my performance in sport has improved. I don’t know how it has affected my cholesterol, or if all my health and fitness improvements are actually caused by my changed diet, or by something else, but it has definitely helped me. I would definitely recommend it, but alternatively it’s perfectly okay for people to continue eating meat and animal products, you don’t have to immediately go 100% vegan. You could try going pescatarian (where you don’t eat meat, but still eat fish) or vegetarian, or even just try and reduce the amount of animal products you eat, you don’t have to cut them out altogether! There are also environmental benefits to eating less meat, as livestock requires a lot of land and water.
I absolutely love your speaking style and wry sense of humor. Keep up the GREAT content.
Congratulations on and thanks for your videos. Great information with a balanced approach makes it so easy to listen to and ads a credibility that many others lack.
I'm vegan, and I just have to say I think you do a great job just laying things out. For me, I know that folks are not going plant-based over night (or by large numbers any time soon!). I appreciate your comment that if everybody switch to a 90-10 split with plants being the 90% part of their diet, I think that would be a stupendous step in the right direction for the animals, the environment, and people's health. So, thanks for your energetic approach!
I second this comment.
-vegan for the animals
@@taneeshaknight3901 What animals? Even being 80-100% carnivore only with pasture-raised beef, 1 cow would last you between 1-2 years if you take full advantage of the energy dense fat and nutrient dense organs. Being 100% pasture-raised means the deep roots of grass will make it roughly carbon neutral, no pesticides killing insects including native bee populations(literally one of the most important life forms on earth are being threatened) and causing male frogs to grow ovaries in their testicles among other things, no irrigation because deep roots don't need it unlike shallow crop roots, grass has water naturally so cows don't need nearly as much water as with dry feed that also needs irrigation to grow. No mice and other wild animals dying during harvesting, where survivors starve out after their population booms due to increase in food, then harvesting takes it away so they starve out. All mostly for soy, corn, and wheat, all generally bad for us, even worse when it's industrial seed oils and refined grains which is mainly what's causing heart disease and diabetes, not the highest quality most ethically raised animals. It's almost 2020 and they're STILL marketing corn oil as heart healthy on TV, and trying to replace all meat with garbage like Beyond Meat which is literally worse than even industrial farmed meat for health, worse in every sense than local pasture-raised beef, but people are so gullible, especially when you appeal to their emotions for animal suffering and exploit their ignorance and have them appeal to authority.
People don't understand that animal farming is both the worst and best for the environment, as well as most and least ethical farming. It's not so black and white. Why should so many other animals(as well as human health and rights, it's far more complicated than our right to eat animals I don't mean that) suffer all to save like ONE cow a year or more per person who is >90% carnivore? Being even 90% plant-based with 10% coming from pasture-raised beef is like literally nothing, even just 2 ounces of beef liver per week would make a world of difference and wouldn't likely impact demand on beef in reality, and at least you'd be supporting a local farmer instead of big pharma getting B12 supplements. Maybe 1ml of fermented skate liver oil a day so 8 ounces would last 240 days and give you more vitamin K2 than you need, it's hard to get enough even on carnivore these days. There's no such thing as vegan humans and never will be, there's bug parts in your food guaranteed, coffee has up to 10% bug parts so we're not talking trace amounts. The most popular vegan foods are bad that way, like dates and nut butters.
Vegans eat bugs anyway and their diet kills trillions and trillions just to produce their food, so IDK why they don't just use cricket flour to get a significant amount of nutrition from animals, or maybe oysters as they're non-sentient and that seems to be the issue vegans have, and farmed oysters is actually environmentally friendly and as good nutritionally as wild unlike farmed fish. Mushrooms are closer to being like animals and are non-sentient too, those are vegan, why not oysters? Honey isn't vegan, even though something like Really Raw Honey is far more friendly to bees than most vegan foods are, because their bees are never used for agriculture and doesn't involve pesticides killing native bee populations. The logic for what is and isn't vegan makes no sense, and if it's about the environment and reducing animal suffering as much as possible, then it should include pasture-raised beef. Almost no other animals are impacted other than the cows, and they spend most their life peacefully grazing in pastures, if anything they're better off than in the wild because they're at least somewhat protected from wild predators that would brutally kill them compared to what we do. But vegans are so delusional they'd rather countless other animals literally suffer to save one cow, that isn't even suffering all that much, with no significant negative impact on the environment and is even good for the environment in many ways, such as the soil and grass.
Vegans will cry about fires in the Amazon and blame literally ALL meat eating and people who eat meat, and turn a blind eye to drought and wildfires in Cali(not to mention drug cartels in Mexico with avocado farming, vegan is about power and money over human health, independence, and even life not animals or the environment) that are being worsened by 80% of the world's almonds coming from Cali, 5 liters of water to produce ONE almond. The water required for pasture-raised beef is nothing like that, almost all of it comes from natural rain. It's literally the most sustainable and ethical way to produce food, and one of the best for human health and independence. I'm so tired of the same misinformation like 80% of soy being to feed livestock, which isn't an issue if you get pasture-raised anyway, when it's for soybean oil production for human consumption, and the byproduct is what's fed to livestock, and even still mainly chickens and pigs not so much cows. Most the rest that's fed to livestock is unfit for human consumption, as if it was to begin with. Many vegans actually support factory farming of animals more than I do, by supporting the same industries that are literally feeding those animals, even though I've been close to 100% carnivore lately.
All that said I don't hate vegans or anything, it's really more like a tough love. It really bugs me when vegans think the whole world should eventually be at least mostly plant-based if not vegan, while ignoring a well-planned carnivore-based diet can be better in every sense, even for environment and ethics while being great for human health and independence from powerful corporations not just in control of most our food supply, but even the genetics of the food we eat, which is scary. Obviously not everyone can do carnivore like I do, whether it be prohibitively expensive or lack of access to quality animal foods, but that's not the point. Carnivores aren't the ones trying to make the whole world carnivore, we're more concerned about maintaining our own rights and human rights in general, which vegans are threatening to take away. I was very plant-based and near vegan for a long time, and seriously considering vegan too, but I wasn't confident enough in my knowledge of nutrition and whatnot, really glad I didn't dive into that in retrospect because I might still be vegan if I wasn't just plant-based 1-2 years ago before becoming more carnivore. I was almost convinced animal foods are totally unnecessary for optimal health or at least not that important due to supplements, I realize how wrong that is now regardless of lack of scientific evidence.
Science can be extremely misleading when people reach the wrong conclusions, like whole foods plant-based being healthy because it can reverse heart disease. It does so by having little to no dietary cholesterol(which doesn't really matter anyway) and saturated fat which keeps cholesterol low, in other words it works similarly to statins. Both dietary cholesterol and carbs are non-essential because the body will produce what it needs, but even at best I don't think your body produces enough cholesterol for optimal health, and that it can contribute to heart disease but isn't the cause of it, calcium can contribute to blockages too without enough things like vitamin K2. Little to no dietary cholesterol and keeping your body's production of cholesterol low isn't good for optimal health, so even in that specific sense, it doesn't lower risk of heart disease in a sense that's actually healthy. Carnivore can by eliminating the things from plants that are the true cause, mainly refined carbs and oils but even too much carbs and omega 6's from whole foods, with too much animal fat can do it. Carnivore can reverse severe ulcerative colitis and Krohn's disease too, both are guaranteed to get worse and even life-threatening on vegan. But vegans think science supports their diet and not carnivore, simply due to anecdotal evidence and lack of scientific evidence.
@@taneeshaknight3901 Why?
I'm from india , and wanted to say in my country 10% people is lecto-vegiterian and 30% people is vegetarian,in my State Gujarat 70% people is non meat eaters, so in my family all generation is newer eat meat or egg anything so my gut microbiome is very efficient to digest beans like black beans , mung etc... Where my other friends who converted to vegan have some digesten issue with very high fiber foods
Great video, I like your approach. Many people dont like vegans because some act like its a cult. I became 95% vegan about 2 months ago (still eat cheese once in a while) and so far so good, and lost 5 lbs in the process. I feel like it forces you to cook more, which is usually a good thing, regardless of the diet your on.
Even if it was not the healthiest diet, I would still do it, simply because I am against someone else suffering for my own benefit
I'm 65 years old, after having surgery I gained weight, was never a big veg Or meat fan, mostly pasta, ice cream, junk. I quit the carbs, sugar and junk and lost 15 lbs. I eat veg, fruit, fish, chicken and some red meat. I feel better but still have muscle pains.
Really appreciate your pragmatic approach to nutrition. It becomes a religion for many who feel offended by any amount of information that challenges their current core beliefs. I think you hit the nail on the head when you clarified that eating a primarily plant based diet is better for you than what most people eat today. That's the point, moving the needle even just a little bit for the overall population would have tremendous health, environmental, and economic impacts for everyone. Whatever it takes to get there is probably worth it in the end. Thanks again for your contributions to UA-cam.
As an athlete who tried it myself already 2 years ago, I just laugh at all those debunking morons. I thought I life healthy and perform at max level with my mediterranean diet until I tried a 100% plant based diet: after 3 weeks I pulverized my personal bests in every category due to better recovery, better sleep, better digestion and and and. Felt 10 years younger... it´s not magic, it real !
Maybe those debunking morons are just fed up with morons calling them morons. I am pleased you found what worked for you. Each to their own.
Mark W
No, they are morons. Don’t lecture, it’s annoying.
@@imrandma the whole tone of this video is the opposite of yours. Don't you see how many more people you could convince if you weren't so hateful and dismissive of people who disagree with you. You don't get people to agree with you by calling them morons.
mediterranean has a lot of fat intake right? switching off that im thinking u upped ur carbohydrate intake and that helps athletes tons in many ways
The humour at the end kinda calmed me down. I appreciate your views and your way of explaining things. Your conciliatory nature is most likely a better approach, to carry forth a message. My only gripe is that I found that this need to appease the carnivore fans, may downplay the importance of the unquestionable fact that a whole foods, plant based diet is superior to a meat one for the majority of average folks. Thanks for your efforts... I think?
As you said, it's "most likely a better approach." I don't see this as "appeasement." Look at this and look at Earthling Ed's approach. They actually both make great points because they aren't yelling or demeaning people for disagreeing with them. Nutrition Made Simple is of course telling people that eating some small amount of meat is ok, because he's coming at it from the scientific side. It's true that the science can't prove that eating 5% of your calories as animals is harmful, we just don't have this data. We have data that can be interpreted in that way, but it's an interpretation, it's not direct irrefutable evidence. We can say the more plant-based you are the better, but we don't know if there's a cut-off at which it just isn't important, be that 5% or even 10%. Most Blue Zones have this level of animal consumption yet live vital lives into their 100s. One can argue that environmental and animal welfare issues make the issue irrelevant and that we should all ditch all animal products, but the film did not tackle those issues and neither did Nutrition Made Simple.
@@dvdmon Thoughtful and well articulated. Can't argue with you. Can only reiterate the point that people can live perfectly well without ingesting animal products. And I saw the video as pandering a bit. But you're right, a diet comprised of only a small proportion of animal products can be healthy and would still be a vast improvement for the environment - the only issue would be animal cruelty, to a certain extent. And in all likelihood remains the most practical and best approach to get people to make changes to their current predominantly animal product diets.
First off, wanted to say I appreciate your love for real science. I appreciate you clearly stating that everything should be fact checked (even you). Unfortunately most people do not go through the process of looking up studies or meta-analyses, in order to get the actual information. When someone is trying to make a point, if you give them an inch, they will take a mile.
You had a small section in this video regarding the slowing of coronary heart disease with a “Mediterranean” vs a vegetarian diet actually reversing coronary heart disease. I read the latter study and it is not conclusive that a vegetarian diet is the reason for the patients having these results. The study states “after 1 year, 28 patients were assigned to an experimental group (low-fat vegetarian diet, stopping smoking, stress management training, and moderate exercise) and 20 to a usual-care control group.” So basically people quit smoking, attended stress management training, started exercising and switched to a low fat vegetarian diet (which I can almost guarantee put them all in a caloric deficit, causing fat loss). To credit the change in heart disease to just the type of diet is very disingenuous. The conclusion of the study clearly states “Comprehensive lifestyle changes may be able to bring about regression of even severe coronary atherosclerosis after only 1 year, without use of lipid-lowering drugs.” I would credit the changes in heart disease to the fact that the patients all quit smoking, started exercising, had stress management training and changed their diet (which most likely helped create a caloric deficit, along with the exercise, to help them lose fat as well). I would NOT credit it specifically to a low-fat vegetarian diet. I would argue the same results would be seen if you equated calories/protein, and used a Mediterranean diet in place of the low-fat vegetarian diet.
ichew gum All I’m saying, is according to the aforementioned study, positive lifestyle changes have shown to bring about regression of heart disease. You cannot attribute it to just one of the lifestyle changes alone... you must attribute it to all of them being used in unison. Now, this is also not meant to be taken as fact. More studies need to be done as well as meta-analyses of said studies. You should never draw absolute conclusions from a single study.
ichew gum I’m also not stating that eating meat alone will reverse heart disease. At all. Even if I did, that would be anecdotal evidence and should never be taken as fact. However, you cannot attribute the results of the study just to a plant based diet. That’s simply one of many things that attributed to it. I do believe they should replicate the study, equate calories and protein, and have them eat a balanced diet of white meat, fish, fruits, grains and vegetables. I think it would be interesting to see the results. I believe you would see similar results.
@deezisbak I agree with the gist of your criticism. I referenced the lifestyle heart trial because it was the 1st. the Esselstyn study (2017) showed similar results only with dietary changes, suggesting the diet is enough. the shortcoming of this study is that it was not structured as an RCT and their reference group are the drop outs. this is why we have to look at totality of evidence to see trends and glean likelihoods. I agree with you we can't say with 100% certainty that plant-based diets reverse heart disease (although the totality of data strongly suggests it). notice I said "seems to" in the video to be accurate, I try to be very careful with the wording on these videos bc I realize it's important
unfortunately I can't go through all these considerations in a video like this, the goal of the channel is to give ppl the gist of the info to make healthy choices. it has to be accurate and honest but still remain 'simple'. not easy.
the point I was trying to make was more that this is 1 type of argument used by those advocating a vegan/vegetarian diet over a more 'moderate' pattern
good sleuthing though. that's the stuff right there :)
PS. while I can't do all that explaining in a video like this, I can include more references so it doesn't seem like I'm basing the claim on just the one. I'll add the others. good point
@@NutritionMadeSimple N of 1 here, but I've been on the Esselstyn diet for almost 2.5 years. I had to have an angiogram earlier this year due to a faulty stent placement from back in 2014 that caused plaque to build up around it (it was protruding from the diagonal artery it was placed into the LAD), but other than that buildup, the largest occlusion was shown at 40%. Whereas back in 2014 when I got that initial stent there were multiple blockages noted ranging from 50 to 80% which they didn't stent because they weren't severe enough or they were in places that were too challenging to stent.
You have been so great at Fact-Checking all of this.
I went Vegan last month. I lift more in the gym, feel better, I love it. AND, it’s extremely good for the planet. I don’t know what people are waiting for. Get good at cooking and go vegan.
What about bloating?
@@miguelduarte75 if thats so important there could be an adjustment period, but also at the end of the day ur gonna have a lot of fiber and water in ur belly and intestines and ur gonna look “full”, and thats normal
This guy deserves much more subscribers.
I'm vegan for 13 years now and meat free for about 15. I agree that on this topic there is too much sectism, people who are totally pro or totally against it. I place myself in the middle. I'm totally plant based but for ethical reasons, not necessarily health reasons. I agree on the fact that people can eat animal products and still be healthy, but this is not the point. I saw many times people yelling stuff like "you can't be an athlete without meat", "you'll be iron deficient", and others...
It's a good thing that there is debate on this, without debate and serious research there is no advance in knowledge.
So thanks for your work 👍👍👍
Thank you for this video and your open-mindedness. As well as the scientific work.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WHAT YOU DO🙏
This video is very well out together!! Thanks man lots of great information... I started a plant based diet 4 days ago so I'm totally new lol I hope it gets me where I need to be I was on keto and my cholesterol went crazy
glad it helps!!
There was a study mentioned by Joel Kahn on JRE in which they measured arteries function after eating a burger, and then eating a burger with a big salad. They didn't find the same negative effects when the meat was combined with the salad.
That tells me that the observed negative health effects of meat are probably due to its lack of fiber and water, and that can be easily countered by consuming vegetables and fruit in the same meal.
Hydration is often overlooked in all those nutrition debates.
I agree with you Dr. Gil i also check on everything what really important is that i felt way more better, evidence if i really when we try it for ourselves if its true or not what is really important we become healthier as we get older🤗😍💪
i love this guy! well spoken, funny, good personality and nails everything. what you said about the war in diet culture and grass fed vs conventional (and all the evidence we have on heme iron TMAO sat fat etc) plus the ‘bigger picture’ being mediteranian, paleo, plant based, veggie etc all focusing on less processed and more whole foods is rad. spot on. i think its sad we have people who promote an all raw diet or oil free sugar free restrictive vegan diet fighting people who promote an all meat/egg diet 😂 why not incorporate the best that both worlds have to offer? some days i eat eggs and fish. others i eat tofu and tempeh, lentils and soy meat. i always have fruits and veggies. i have white rice if i want it and brown bread/oatmeal etc
Okay pain from certain vegetables. So you don't eat those vegetables. Until you figure out your gut problems.
Yeah we know that high fat foods and processed foods are not good for us.
Yes not adding cholesterol helps lower your cholesterol.
Yes emotionally and definitely mentally it helps to know that I'm not harming creatures.
I love how you point out the fact that it's still animal tissue.
You finish strong! Great job.
great vid ...plant heavy 3 yrs and I just found you ....so i have some catching up to do lol
It challenges peoples beliefs, way of life, the way they interact socially. People naturally resist change. Going whole food plant based has been the best thing for both my wife and myself. Amazing changes and we thought we ate really well already. Once you take the Red pill there is no going back.
For me it's enough to survive and feel ok on plants. Because I really don't want to support animal agriculture and pay for animal exploitation. If eating plants instead of meat lowers my risk for heart disease and cancer it's a welcome bonus. But I would choose to eat plants only even if it meant a "just ok" health status.
Great video! Make a collab video with Gojiman on gut health I'd be interested in knowing your insights/understanding of gut health...also consider reaching out to him in regards to your mother's GI health you may find an answer to her problem
I was actually about to recommend he check out Gojiman as well. I'm sure Gil would be plenty interested if he hasn't seen Goji's content yet.
Love this channel!
Great as usual. Smartest, most balanced and scientific commentator. Also, hes just a swell guy
I not pro-vegan, pro-carnivore, pro-keto or any other kind of diet. I just want to be healthy and know the truth about health markers. Is that too much to ask? I lost a bunch of weight on low carb but saw no improvement on my cholesterol numbers and I wasn’t even eating that much saturated fat. Now I’m trying more vegan based, I’ll see what happens. Optimally I’d like a low carb and low saturated fat diet but my tastes expand beyond cardboard.
I’ve eaten meat for 37years until I watched Game Changers, I’ve tried 100% plant based food for 2 week and I can admit I feel better for it, however I’ve decided to go back a small step, I’m gonna keep eating chicken and fish, as for dairy I’m happy with soy but I will have the occasional bit of cheese, would t class myself as vegan or a meat eater, kind of a inbetweener..
My cholesterol was high (6.4) before trying plant based, I’m gonna get another cholesterol test done soon so I’m hoping that being a half vegan helps lower my cholesterol, time will tell, thanks for the video it’s a lot of help 👍
I am vegan, but also love facts and science. Except for the bacteria and toxins that are sometimes found in seafood, a pescetarian diet is even healthier than a vegan diet. I simply don't trust (or am to lazy or cheap to look for it) seafood sources...companies lie...ex: many scallops are actually shark meat; many shrimp are caught in polluted waters or are processed using slave labor in Thailand; a lot of 'wild' salmon is actually farm-raised....
There is no in between. Veganism is an ethical position and philosophy, as strict as the ethics of anti-racism, as it should be.
@@wynnhorton1208 Eat seaweed if you want to cut down on fish and the risks associated with it.
Fish appears healthier at first, as it is high in omega 3 fatty acids, however, the oceans are increasingly polluted with dead zones and so forth, and in some places there's alot of neurotoxins in fish due to cyanobacteria contamination (which are thriving due to climate change). These neurotoxins can be scary stuff as they can accumulate and produce degenerative nervous disorders. I knew this even when I was eating alot of fish and it gave me pause for concern. At the very least, you should avoid fish from warm waters, where red tides are common.
Shellfish is especially bad for this kind of toxin, which is too bad as some in the animal welfare movement consider shellfish to be an acceptable food as many of them have no central nervous system, or very primitive ones if they have one at all.
Oceanic pollution is a real tragedy because so much of the world depends on the oceans for basic food.
There’s one big point missed in all of these discussions, animals are not nutrition, they are living conscious beings & it’s sad that they’re never considered in people’s not so “personal” choices.
I really like your channel & understand your focus is on health but it’s not a bad thing to mention the ethical side in these choices that people make.
Finally as far as gut health, sibo, ibs etc are concerned you should reach out to gojiman he has a lot of knowledge in that area & you’re both very much science based so it would make for a great discussion!
Subbed!!
good points!
Nutrition Made Simple! Thanks for the reply man, looking forward to checking out more of your content!
Don’t give a shit
i fap alot solid argument 🤦🏻♂️
Albert Wesker completely irrelevant 🤦🏻♂️
Thank you so much for being incredibly informative and objective in the way you approach these nutritional topics. It's really refreshing.
I was lucky enough to obtain a Bachelor's Degree in Environmental Science and the main reason I went octovegetarian/plant based was because of the environmental impacts. But, I really dislike being thrown in the vegan box because people have this preconceived view that I think a certain way.
I was lucky enough to be raised by my parents in Australia on a farm. I ate grass fed beef and lamb and ate fresh eggs everyday. I also hunted small and big game for my dinner plate. I did that for 26 years until I made the switch. Now fours years meatless and diary free. I've been plant based for three years and have recently got my own property, keep chickens, and have farm fresh eggs again.
My point to all this is people box themselves into these ideologies and it can be extremely limiting. It can limit your social experiences, your traveling experiences, and life experiences.
I really don't mind if people choose to eat meat. Sure in a perfect world I wish we'd all reduce our consumption and lessen our individual impacts on the Earth, but, it is not within my right to tell people how to live their lives. What I really wish for is we'd have more logical, factual, and evidence based conversations as you my friend are opening a space for.
If I'm honest I hate documentaries like game changers and cowspiracy they do nothing to convince people to eat less meat or change their livelihoods. It simply adds more confusion and misrepresentation.
So, thank you for being a voice of reason. You have won over another fan and subscriber. Keep up the excellent work 🙏
This video above was only about health outcomes from various diets. It does not address other issues like the environmental impact of animal agriculture, nor other issues like antibiotic resistance, zoonotic diseases, nor the morality of needlessly killing innocent sentient individuals. Some of those topics are covered in some of his other videos on this channel. All of his videos are supported by science and based on critical thinking.
Great general review of your review , and yes you do sound like George Costanza's boss
man I love ur channel, thx for the content :P
Hi Gil. I really enjoy your channel. I havs one question regarding proteins in plants. Are there any differenses regarding the bio availability for humans between plant proteins and meat proteins?
I question your statement about how there is not as much data about the range from mostly plants to only plants (if I got that right). Can you address the findings from Loma Linda showing vegans as healthier than the non-vegans? Thanks!
You do some great work here but when you talk about long-term health you have to throw the environmental costs into the equation as with current trajectory business as usual we are heading for extinction of most if not all humans. Grass-fed beef/ non-organic beef is far more destructive and resource-intensive than the vast majority of plant-based alternatives, even considering some of the worst chemical-based productions. Animal agriculture the biggest cause of mass extinctions and about 38%-48% of the Earth's land is needed for this. Add in the mitigation factor (rewilding therefore carbon sink and biodiversity recreation) of winning back most of this land for plant-based alternatives and our present course towards world hunger then you will find that those grey areas you talk about being much more black-and-white. With societal collapse and world hunger, health collapses to the point of fatality. It is an emergency. Also I agree whole-heartedly with the ethics point made below. We are in this mess because of an insane individualistic anthropocentric mindset ("All about me" - bubble illusion) and shutting off from our compassion (killing of dogs is horrendous, but who gives a shit about cows). Compassion is actually necessary for our survival and good health!
Why not mention or debate, if you want, these "facts"?

I wouldn't say that difference between industrial animal and free-range pastured raised animals or wild for that matter, is about fatty acids profile, but more about xenobiotics given them in crowded cages to prevent spreading diseases. It possibly can accumulate in fat tissue of animal, and be absorbed by humans, so long term exposure can be harmful.
I dont eat meat but some veggies i cant eat without my ibs making double over,one year my sister made mashed cauliflower for Christmas i had some without know and had such bad pain and inflammation i had to go to the er.
As people like Dr Greger have said, the Mediterranean diet is not one single way of eating, it is an umbrella term for the many countries in the area, all of which eat very different diets, some heavy meat and some less. You cant just say eat Mediterranean diet. Even the 2019 IPCC report from the united nations said the Mediterranean diet was the most unenvironmenatally friendly diet of them all. It scored lower then the carnivore diet! Meaning that in general it is a meat, dairy and egg heavy diet still. The vegan diet was obviously way on top.
Genuine question, if TMAO is independently linked to heart disease like you state in the video, why is consumption of fish, specifically oily fish associated with a reduced risk of CVD? Fish being by far and away the highest source of dietary TMAO
Straight to the point, funny but doesnt try to hard or gets annoying. I like this channel
Some people don't realize that diets are not tailored for the individual but on some average of people. Why everyone believes that? What works for me might work for you or not. Or it could also kill you, but not kill me.
Another great job! Excellent!
Another great video. I like your reasonable undogmatic approach.
Great video THANK YOU..
Very good video and well explained . The personal experience I like it most because how we can see there is no 100% proven research and the science can be wrong as we know from our history. My personal opinion and as you mention on the video is just try and then decide if something is good for you. I was very sceptical about vegetarians and vegans until I tried for a little bit longer period of time to be my way of living and I found out that there is no difference I was still training 5-6 times a week and I ask my self if I don't feel something wrong why some animal has to die for something which I don't feel need?
"...all those antibiotics that come with factory farmed animals..." I'm not sure what you mean. An animal that was sick and was treated with antibiotics according to label instructions and later sold for human consumption? Are you referring to bambermycin as a growth promotant and if so what is your concern? What's up, Doc?
Hi Gil, I am trying to get a distinction between SALT and SODIUM.
If I ate high quality plant based diet, with absolutely NO ADDED SALT, approximately how much sodium would I ingest? Would it meet the health guidelines of 1500 mgs of sodium per day, or come under?
Show link of documentary
Be mindful, be present, listen to your body, drink a lot of water. Everything else is just details...
Is protein from plant's, nuts, beans is absorbs the same like protein from animal source? Like you eat 20 grams of protein, is all get absorbed ore is a difrence between the quantity that's get absorb?
When you consume protein from an animal you get the full molecule. You stomach then breaks it down to get lipids and amino acids, which are now damaged from being broken down, so you intestines can metabolize the string of acids left BACK into protein.
When you eat plants there is only the amino acids so it doesn't break it down further and you intestines can metabolize the acids and lipids into protein with no damage to the molecular structure.
Animals middle man your nutrition because they have already metabolized the nutrients our bodies need.
The conversion rate of amino acids in plants is WAY WAY WAY higher than the deconstruction of of protein into lipids and acids convert back into protein
Would be amazing a vid about acetylation and demethylation
Great vibe overall from your video. 7:59 However, TMAO is possibly not an independent risk factor, as it associates positively with HOMA-IR, in this comparison between high WG and high refined carb metabolomics study. academic.oup.com/ajcn/article-abstract/110/4/984/5552380 For sure, vegans will have lower serum TMAO than Western Diet.
Thanks a lot for your amazing work. Your videos are great.
Question, what’s your opinion on whey protein for people who exercise regularly and wanna build muscles but are skinny and have difficulties to gain weight.
Namaste.
Thanks for the info, you're helping a lot, in many ways. Didn't I see you selling cars on Cobra Kai? : P
is that the karate kid dude? man I get that all the time on here lolol!!!
I see your approach. It's a good one, keep it up ;)
pretty sure grass fed meat still increases MTOR and IGF-1, TMAO; it also contains heme iron and Neu5Gc. omega 3s may be increased slightly but i mean.... then there's the sat fat and cholesterol. i wonder if you would reach out to Gojiman to discuss the gut issues.. he focuses on this and is vegan so maybe a discussion might help you guys troubleshoot. great vid
and arachidonic acid. methionine, and AGEs....though (like IGF-1), plant foods can (though rarely do) increase those, too
I would love to see a video about gut problems,I'm a sufferer I ve done lot of research, I would love to see your point of view
Gil definitely sounds like actor William Christopher aka Father Mulcahy on the M.A.S.H. television show.
Hi sir, thank you for the content that you've put out. Really appreciate your effort for doing so. I just switched to plant-based diet a week ago and I have been getting good results.
You mentioned saturated fat is bad. So my question is, how about saturated fat from plants? Are they safe to be comsumed?
Thank you and hope you can clarify on this matter! 😊
Can you address vitamins? How to maintain a healthy daily percentage--especially if you're on a plant-based diet. Also, can you address supplements (I'm skeptical about most supplements but do take a daily b-50 and d)?
check out the 'HOW to eat like Game Changers' video, covers all that :)

Man! Can you PLEASE do videos on your full day of eating!?
How long until I wake up to find my neighbors ravishing my flowerbeds and grazing on my lawn?

You earned another subscriber :) Nice video.
It seems complicated to figure out the truth in all this since every information on diet seems biased for economical, environmental and ethical reasons. Probably the diet vegan doesn't solve all health problems but it seems that it solves many and has an undoubtly positive environmental & ethical impact.
However, I'm wondering what do you think of keto diet because some of the health claims go against the vegan diet regarding animal fats. I know you can have vegan keto diet but according to the movie the basic keto diet would be bad whereas some sources say it is good. Thoughts?
we don't have long-term data on the exact diet low-carbers promote, but the data we do have suggests health risks. I suspect for anyone bent on low-carb, the plant-based version is the safer bet
Good one!
I think if the vegetables, like any other diet bothers you, (head slap) maybe your body telling you it isn’t something it wants. Listen to your body, oats are not my friend!
Yeah... Irritable bowel syndrome sucks. I have many allergies and intolerences that the vegan diet seems pretty impossible for me sadly... :/
Ok serious question you bring up the long terms effects of eating meats and being on keto but than why does every baby in the world run on ketones?
ichew gum a couple years is a short while 🤦♂️
ichew gum your not proving any point by saying feed a baby adult food 🤦♂️ having your body in Ketosis if proven healthy and to help cure a lot of problems, million times more healthy than any vegan diet 😂
ichew gum just to name a few because you’re clearly uneducated in the matter The Maasai tribe of Kenya & the Inuit people of Canada Greenland and Alaska all eat nothing but meat 😂 to take it a step further the Inuit people don’t eat any vegetables and they are healthy 🤷♂️ name an entire tribe or culture of people eating vegan that has thrived for 100’s of years I’ll wait 😂

@3.15 (approx) - gi, cibo, ibs, ... pain from eating plants... - yes, people’s gut / digestion / whole body even, can be sensitive to a number of things, including medicine, plants, wheat, gluten, legumes/lentils/beans, ...; the issue is not what you(r gut/digestion/body) can be sensitive to, resulting in pain, acne, ... - but rather, what is the solution that is the safest for your health short-term but especially long-term. Having gone through chemo, if you could travel back a 100 years ago and told people / physicians / MDs to pump some poisonous stuff into the veins of people who had tumors (assuming they were diagnosed as such), you’d been laughed at (or treated worse). And it sounds pretty crazy, yet it does work. But that doesn’t mean you should be injecting such stuff into your body just because you want to get healthier, also you should not forget the severe short-term and possibly long-term side-effects of doing so (chemo) - the substances injected into me during chemo also attacked something else in my body, resulting in me developing very high fever and I had to be hospitalized... 4 or 5 times during my 6 month of chemo (don’t remember) and left me very weak with trouble to hold food in my stomach for months afterwards too (and of course also during chemo). But I would do it again if I had to, not because I “believe in it” but because it’s the current state of medical science (except plants-only whole-foods nutrition to help w/ bouncing back / killing cancer cells - all of which I did not know about back then, sadly). Meat is dead cells and fats. Dairy milk comes from female animal mammals, produced during pregnancy and for a while afterwards, and is produced for their animal mammal babies; human milk comes from female human mammals, produced during pregnancy and for a while afterwards, produced for their human mammal babies. Both are milk and look (from what I’ve seen) the same / very similar, yet they (probably) taste slightly differently - their genetic makeup / and/or chemical composition is slightly different. Because of this chemical and/or genetic difference, humans consuming animal milk increase their risk of developing tumors / cancer. And cheeses, requiring huge amount of milk, if from animals, therefore greatly increase the chance of developing tumors/cancer. Humans who consume meat also increase their risk of developing tumors/cancer because of heme iron. And the same goes for eggs. There is also another major risk associated with foods created from animal and consumed by humans, which is the high amount of saturated fat contents, but let’s leave that aside because of the cholesterol deniers. And all those are facts due to having been proven to be true, lab controlled via bio-test on a cellular level, but also statistically and many lab controlled peer reviewed tests that were done. Simply put, any foods created from animals or their secretions (lactation) will increase your risk to develop cancer, by a large amount, so not by some negligible amount. Again, that’s not what I believe, but it’s a fact. Another fact, again lab-tested and peer-reviewed, is that eating a varied / diverse whole-foods plants-only and especially high in leafy greens diet will do the opposite, greatly reducing the chances of developing cancer / tumors, but even more so, reversing / healing existing ones... but that does not mean if developing cancer, then not to go see a MD and specifically an oncologist and might still require undergoing chemotherapy and/or radiation. There are also other predicted effects of healing such a plant diet can have, healing a number of different diseases for different reasons. Can meat / dairy / eggs possibly help ease and/or even heal certain stomach pains / sensitivities? Maybe short term. But the same should be achievable through proper testing and then taking the correct medication, in conjunction with consuming a non-animal foods diet, which will also decrease the risk of developing heart and other diseases.
