He said dogs can't go vegan. This is false. The 4th longest living dog on record was vegan. Most animal activists have vegan dogs and they thrive on a vegan diet.
My eyes were closed from veganism for 32 years. I used to think of the movement as a joke. I’m so glad I woke up to what now seems like common sense. Thanks joey carbstrong for starting me off & thanks to vids like this for confirming the truth.
How come raising voice for a voiceless ones could be considered as a joke that cannot fight back or have anyone to help, be grateful that it's not human child or people would be so serious in supporting and raising voice for the children as a wild it's so insane even to think we live in one planet one life same breath same living how could someone like us even discriminate every being on this planet is breathing same as human being TBH we should be consider it as human towards humanity "
Dr. Milton Mills - there is not a doctor more passionate about helping people truly live their best life. Watching his talk helped me go plant-based (vegan). I am forever grateful.
@@qtpie488 Another common misconception. I've been Vegan for 42 years, never had a deficiency in anything. B12 isn't from meat, B12 comes from bacteria, and algae, and the reason there is B12 present in those animals is because they consume plant-life that has the B12 producing bacteria flourishing on it. Spirulina is an excellent source of B12, and is by far a better source than meat.
The key is keeping it simple. Avoid all the faux meat and cheese that is highly processed. Simple beans or lentils, whole grains, vegetables , and fruits. Eat pleny of starch. Minimize highly processed foods like oils. Engine 2, Forks Over Knives, and PlantPure Nation have some of the best recipes.
Humans are not carb animals but rather other animal eaters. We're carnivores sweetheart. Every animal including humans eat other animals...It's what's happening HERE in THIS REALM! Wake the fux ☝
@@athomewithrobin292 That is incorrect because your unaware of the cycle of life. Plants wait to eat the dead decaying things of which that decay has micro bugs in it which the plant ingests. The plants have creatures living in them and they get eaten by plant eaters. The plant eaters brew the live bugs in their stomachs along with their own which makes a cocktail of all kinds of crazy bacteria that multiply abundantly of which then the herbivore digests as food rather then the just the plant material itself. This makes even the plant eaters carnivores along with plants. Everything HERE on the plane of existence kills and eats something else. Everything is doing it just look into it more. Humans cannot digest fiber from plants and do not have a bacteria as a cow to break the fiber down and create the various bacteria to feed on the plant material and make tons of bacteria to digest. You see, a cow is a carnivore because it's feeding actually on the bacteria more so then the plant itself. It ferments inside its stomach and we cannot do that. We have a carnivore stomach that only is made from meat just as a wolf or a lion. Our intestines are identical to a carnivores. 😏
@@Tadjuel11-11 agree to disagree. I wont go into detail as you have heard a doctor andni have read research on this as well. All animals are not carnivores. They teach us that in grade school. Reason why we know of herbivores, and omnivores, and carnivores.
@@athomewithrobin292 As taught in grade school...omg LOL !!!! You enjoy your false knowledge sources and stay brainwashed by kiddy school and the false science religion of the day. Just don't stop learning because when you do you'll never end up finding out I'm right. 😘

@Benny , doctors are not very well educated in nutrition. I belief this doctor is a good surgeon but he better stay with his proffesion.

@@marjastuyt5322 the skeleton has barely anything to do with it. It's our digestive system. We are unable to convert fiber into fat like herbivores that are related to us. Chimps and gorillas can do this. Our stomach acid is as acidic as a scavenger. We are definitely carnivores

@no 0 Dr. Mills is not skinny or anemic looking at all, and the average vegan pretty much looks like that, some are overweight, some are slim, some are very athletic, some are bodybuilders, the same way that the animal eaters have all sorts of different body types in their group.
Inonge Khabele let people eat the way they want if it makes them happy and healthy that’s all that matters, and stop trying to make people feel bad for doing something good for themselves, the animals, and the planet, no one is attacking you for eating meat
After watching just a few of his videos, I realize that this doctor is absolutely brilliant. I am fascinated by how he combines information from many field and disciplines to make a strong, compelling case.Wow.
I’m brand new learning 🌱 vegan! I’m falling in love with vegetables especially broccoli 🥦!! Nd nuts 🥜 I’m loving walnuts ! It like a whole world opened up to me way more better than eating meat! And my libido has woken up more shocking my husband now with how much more romance in the bedroom area now! Husband told me yesterday that I look better happier healthier I’m like a completely different person he’s even now considering going vegan too! Been trying for a baby so maybe this year it’ll finally happen I’ve heard changing diet helps with that! Who knows ! Hoping can also get off some of my medication soon!
You are feeling better because you have broken the Randle Cycle, not because you have become a Vegan. The Randle Cycle is responsible for the chronic inflammation that causes most modern diseases. Stop eating either carbs or fat and you will break the cycle. One way is sustainable. One way isn't. Can you guess which way is sustainable? Hint: humans need fat whereas our requirements for dietary carbs is absolutely zero.
@@phill6983 yes, and immoral for that matter. Spreading lies about everything and anything to get people to go on diets that make their long term health problematic. It's criminal honestly
We crave the foods we need. We crave meat because we need it. Only animal products have the 50+ fat-soluble nutrients vital to our health. Almost miscarried two on my vegan diet pregnancies, with every supplement. I am sure because I ignored my cravings for beef. Only destructive thing we crave is sugar, and that is an unnatural craving we have when we are deprived of nutrients.
We have, through thousands of years of evolution and survival, began to crave foods that destroy our bodies? Illogical and against nature. Contrary to veganisms message, it is against the very nature we evolved to be.
About 3 weeks vegan for me so far. After watching a video from Gary Yourofsky, I had no choice. Had been mostly vegetarian for a few years, but it is abundantly clear to me now that vegan is the way it's supposed to be.
We are obviously not watching the same video then. He is talking absolute rubbish, his facts are wrong, his analytical thinking is out the window, his examples are totally irrelevant, and the conclusions he draws contain the mistakes of a school child. No biologist could take this seriously
mchooksis Well then, where are your backup arguments against the large body of information Dr Mills has presented? Without that you sound very much like someone who is scared someone is about to take their plate of steak and butter away
@@shannybananny68 Ah come on, shannybananny68, the talk is one and a half hours long. As I said, pretty well everything he says is rubbish and/or totally irrelevant. where do you want me to begin? If I was to go through everything that is wrong with this talk, it would take a book. Like most Vegans he is convinced that when research talks about a plant based diet being the best for us, that they actually mean plant "only" diet. They don't. Most people in the world eat a plant based diet consisting of vegetables, roots and fruit making up the bulk of most cultures' diets with a small amount of meat , eggs and dairy. This is the healthiest diet for us. There is no culture anywhere in the world that is Vegan , never has been. Why is that, if it is so healthy for us? He starts off 1.52. "We stop getting sick and get well " when we eat a plant diet. He is implying that meat causes everyone to be sick.. That is ridiculous. Is he implying that everyone in the world who eats meat is sick and that only vegans are healthy? He seems to assume that the whole world follows the unhealthy american diet of high sugar, over consumption of meat, too few veggies, and no fruit unless it is fortified with tons of sugar. They don't. Of course Americans get sick. Most of the world don't! He spends most of the talk pointing out the traits we DON'T share with carnivores, and extolling the traits we DO share with herbivores. He conveniently leaves out the traits we express that ARE very useful to us as meat eaters, and leaves out the traits we express that we DON't share with herbivores. That's convenient, isn't it? But the whole thing is irrelevant anyway> Why is he spending hours telling us what carnivores have and can do , compared to us? No one is saying we are carnivores. We are OMNIVORES! there is no argument left on that one. Every trait we display points to us being omnivores. We are able to eat and digest meat and plant very efficiently. We are very efficient hunters, and very efficient gatherers. Are skills have made us the most successful animal on this planet, able to sustain ourselves in virtually every ecological niche, and adapt very rapidly to changing environments. Has he ever spent any time with indigenous hunter gatherers?. How does he explain their feeding culture? How would he explain to the Inuit or the Sami or the Baju of Indonesia that really they should not be eating meat or fish, because us Humans are really herbivores? The whole concept is ridiculous. It would be easier if you picked out some points that you think are highly relevant to us being herbivores, and I will tell you where he is wrong. This is taking much too long to write. There is so much here I just don't know where to begin. The guys an idiot, and I really can't be bothered with him. If you cannot see that, then I really have no words to add.
@@mchooksis First of all, "There is no culture anywhere in the world that is Vegan, never has been." The Okinawa diet was 97% plant foods, about 1% fish, 1% dairy, 1% eggs, and 90% of that was whole foods so rarely any processed foods. If you are suggesting that the 3% of animal products is what made it the healthiest diet you are mad. "He convveniently leaves out the traits we express that are very useful to us as meat eaters." He has limited time he needs to get to the point and not waste time to give as much info as he can in that time frame. "Has he ever spent any time with indigenous hunter gatherers?" Doesn't matter about them because they are in a survival state all the time. We have supermarkets where we can choose what we eat three times a day, they don't.
HarryGJ excellent points! I come straight from indigenous people and believe me, my people do not live in a “survival state” but live in harmony with all nature (plants and animals) and consume them all. Organic living, with reverence and affection for the animals. We take loving care of them and they give us more life and health. Their live bodies fertilize the soil so plants are healthy and their milk strengthens us. Their bodies give us the 50+ fat-soluble nutrients only animal products provide. No need for supplements. The fruits, herbs and vegetables cleanse and heal. Many fermented dairy and vegetable dishes. When I was a vegan of nine years, I looked down on my culture’s foods practices, but when my body began cannibalizing itself and I almost lost my life due to multi-organ failure despite hundreds of dollars a month in supplements, I had no choice but to either open my mind or leave four children without a mother.
Very informative lecture but missing a few points. If humans were only meant to eat plants, why do we have acidic stomachs (1.5 - 3.5) similar to other meat eating animals? Why did our human ancestors have bone collagen carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios similar or higher than other high level carnivores, indicating that our human ancestors ate a meat heavy diet? Why did megafauna suddenly become extinct when humans entered Australia and America? How did humans survive through the Ice Age when it’s highly unlikely edible plants were available? Why do humans need vitamin B12 and we can only get it in nature by eating animals foods? Why do plant foods contain omega-3 in ALA form, which is highly un-bioavailable to humans? Why do animals foods contain omega-3 in more bioavailable forms of EPA & DHA, what our bodies really need? You could make just as many arguments as to why humans need animals foods in their diets. Every nutrient that is required by humans is more bioavailable and in greater quantities when consumed from animal foods. The only nutrient found more in plant foods is vitamin C.
Veganism is the original diet for human consumption due to anatomical and physiological reasons. Humans migrated out of their original habitat Africa which is very hot even during the Ice age the temperature was warm. The Ice age affected humans who migrated to places like Europe, North America etc. Humans could only eat meat(animals) after the invention "tools" (e.g knife,spear,gun) and discovering fire. Humans are the only mammals that need "tools" and/or fire in order provide a palatable meal. Why ? Meat eating is not human's natural diet but it is the lion's natural diet. Humans have adapted to eating meat out of necessity (e.g Ice age,lack of vegetation). Therefore, I understand your argument but there are many people who chose to eat the original diet. Before the application of mass farming technology and chemical(pesticides) usage, Humans got B12 vitamin from the root of vegetables,dirt and streams of water which were created by bugs. In fact this is how ALL mammals got efficient amounts of B12. Even the cow which is vegan and the human consumes in order to get B12 ??? I will not argue that there are some nutritional value in some meat but Americans eat way too much meat . We are paying a heavy price by having high rates of Cancer, Hypertension, Diabetes,Coronary artery disease. Human groups that have historically lived a long and healthy lives (e.g Blue zones) eat diets consisting of primarily none or very little meat and high vegetable/fruit consumption. For example Okinawa,Japan and Loma Linda, California.
@Pete From Detroit ur ignorant. Their are clear health benefits to eating plant based. We americans eat way tooo much meat which is why our healthcare risks and costs are through the roof. Our illness and pharmaceuticals companys make money off our illness and ultimate death.
@@athomewithrobin292 im just thankful this gentleman is pushing informing to people.. We need to keep getting this message out to the people with an ear to hear it. These guys are just commenting their thoughts which shows the intent of the heart. Why watch it if you dont agree with him & its all bs? They here for a reason, to sow divide..
A goat is a herbivore, but it will eat pretty much anything. Should it? No. So why do we stop the goat from eating things it shouldn't and not ourselves. No wonder chronic illness is so common in humans.
WarmMilk why are people farming animals if you people want to believe you’re carnivore/omnivore? True carnivores/omnivores don’t farm. They have a six feet intestines short than us. They have the speed, claws, fans to raise, grab and hunt their prey. They can eat raw meat. Humans have to cook it. Most meat you have to cook. You have emotions towards living beings. Carnivores/omnivores do not.
Most herbivores eat meat sometimes. Humans start to eat meat about 2 million years ago and evolved till what we are now. Without that, you wouldnt watch this video. Instad, you better watch this m.ua-cam.com/video/TdTXaFtDqZE/v-deo.html
He makes a very strong case for a plant based diet. This said, our closest genetic cousins, the chimpanzees, also eat some animal proteins. There is of course also the field of anthropology, and the record is clear that all of our ancestors have eaten some meat for hundreds of thousands, if not millions of years. So the most natural human diet is probably scavenged fruits and starches with occasional doses of meat, if the opportunity came.
Actually, there is a preponderance of paleontological evidence that clearly shows our early ancestors ate a diet that primarily consisted of meat and was supplemented by additional plant products such as berries, nuts, etc. This is typical of even the remaining hunter-gatherer tribes still existing on the planet. Personally, although I sympathize with vegetarians and vegans from an ethical standpoint (I love animals and hate the idea of eating them), I also believe that the optimal human diet is primarily carnivore.
Too bad over 3/4 of what he said here is demonstrably false and 25% is confused by the first errors. Watch one Sten Ekberg video and decide which one knows what they are explaining...
48:28 That’s why you can make Butter & Ice Cream from cows milk; but, you can’t do it from human’s milk. The fat composition is much different. Gosh this is so good! Thank you so much 😊
great lecture, and somewhere around the middle he said something about using science as a scientist and leaving his belief in god out of it now i gotta say their is nothing that i respect in a person than having the ability to keep whats professional professional and whats personal just that, big thumbs up
This has to be one of my all-time favorite talks by one of my all-time favorite speakers. I watched this exact presentation ( or one just like it ) by Dr. Mills almost a decade ago and it was such a motivating factor in my change of diet ( and views on ecology ).
Too bad that he is deteriorating so much these days that it looks like he won't be able to speak soon. Maybe he should have eaten a species appropriate diet, which for humans is meat and fat of animals.
Not only do herbivores eat things that don't run away from them...they eat things that WANT to be eaten. Plants want animals to eat their fruits and seeds because then you'll roam to some other part of the land and spread some of the seeds in your stool. It's the only way most plants can spread their seeds as wide as possible and get greater genetic variation in new sapplings
@@polishprince9086 Because everything that Mills says is wrong. He is comparing other carnivores to humans. We are not other carnivores, we are humans and we are carnivores. Except for the last 10,000 years or so humans have eaten mostly meat for the past 380,000 years and for nearly four million years before that in earlier species. Search for "The evolution of the human trophic level during the Pleistocene". This shows through the actual science of stable isotope testing that humans are carnivores. This is actual empirical scientific evidence, not some random mumblings of a person who has no qualifications to speak on this subject but is only looking to justify his ideology and spread propaganda. Other points that show that we are meant to eat meat: 1. We have one of the most acidic stomach acids of any animal. Ideal for digesting meat in our stomach. 2. Compared to other primates we have a relatively large small intestine. This is great for absorbing the nutrients from meat. 3.Compared to other primates we have a very small large intestine. This is our colon. We don't have a big large intestine so we can't ferment large quantities of plant material. 4. We don't really have a caecum anymore. All that is left of it is our appendix. Other primates have a large caecum to help ferment plant material. 5. Humans are amazing hunters with one of the highest hunting success rates of any animal. We use our opposable thumbs to make and use weapons. We are very good at throwing. We use communication to work as a team. We have even trained other animals, dogs and birds, to help us catch our prey. By using all of these skills we are able to kill prey that are far bigger, stronger or faster than us. Mills can argue as much as he wants about teeth, speed and strength etc but all of those are negated because we didn't need to evolve these things as we evolved plenty of other skills instead. For example, we don't need big pointy teeth as we don't tend to catch our prey with our mouth! We use spears, knives, clubs, nets etc, which are much more effective and allow use to attack from a safer distance. Hope my comment makes sense and helps you understand that Mills isn't actually looking at the science at all. Let me know what you think but only after you have read the study that I have cited. Sorry I can't put a direct link but UA-cam won't allow me to. Again, search for "The evolution of the human trophic level during the Pleistocene". Good luck 😃
Don't forget, animals kill each other for food.......And, you never see wild animals queueing at the doctors, I think your body tells you what you need
edward byrne... uh hello are you that dense that you don’t get it that 95% of their kill is unsuccessful? My comment is about the fact that humans are the ones killing off the animals. And so stick to my post or go to someone else’s comment if you want to talk about a certain eating lifestyle
The Dr here does has no understanding-concept of human anthropology,physiology or the dangers of plant defense chemicals and the gross health risks of their daily consumption?
"A T-bone steak is the equivalent of a gas guzzling 'Hummer ' on a plate" . That's a good one! But so true. Thanks to you, Dr Mills . I have learnt a lot watching your video. Greetings from France.
I was vegan for a few months. I now eat raw and my health just keeps improving. I'm so happy my feet aren't dry anymore. My insulin needs keep going down as well.
compassionate , funny , and dangerously wrong For 2.6 million year humans thrived on mostly animal nutritition this is shown not just the tools we used but buy chemical analysis of ancient bones … we ate more meat that even predators Humans ate mostly red meat,organs, & fat, along with some insects , veggies, fruits, & nuts for 99.99% of the 2.4 million years we have existed … anything else is not normal for humans .
Dr. Mills you are so full of info to give us. I learned so much about why I am a herbivore. Thank you for your dedication to the cause of us being plant based eaters.
@@DaurcKnyte veganism is a cleansing diet. Beyond 30 days, the body begins cannibalizing its tissues for nutrition. It doesn't matter how many supplements one takes on a vegan diet, they cannot help. We need fat-soluble vitamins that come from animal sources, and cholesterol. Veganism is fasting. Fasting is good, but not as a lifestyle. Even 30 days is pushing it. Also - plants produce toxins to defend themselves from what are prey to them. Plants are best eaten with animal products, and most plants need to be cooked, blanched, and fermented to take away most of the toxins and be made more digestible.
We actually used to hunt by running animals to death thousands of years ago lol.Also we are built for long distance running, we have lots of shock absorbers in our bodies. Ex: a meniscus
Humans are indeed omnivores, we can eat both meat and plants. However, we are suppose to eat meat in moderation and not at super large quantities. We are neither a vegetarian species or carnivorous, because of that, humans can survive on either diet, however a well balanced diet is best for us, moderation of most food groups.
You obviously didn't watch Dr. Mill's whole presentation. You clearly missed a quote of lot of facts about the physiological difference between carnivores and herbivores.
You obviously didn't watch Dr Mill's presentation in it's entirety, because you seem to have missed some very definite facts that prove that our bodies do NOT have the organs, sytems, enzymes or functions required for digesting meat.
Xianne027 Actually, our organs and bodies are designed to eat both plants and meat. See, herbivore species lack canine teeth, which is something we have. Also, species that are strictly herbivorous have multiple stomachs, we have one stomach which is something that is only present in omnivorous and carnivorous species.
WHAT ABOUT the high stomach acidity of humans?.... Good for digesting meat. What about the short colon?..... Makes it difficult to proces fibre in to fat.
Some background knowledge for you... He was involved in a very bad car accident which affected his spine therefore affecting his mobility , ability to exercise and breathe easily. Thankfully due to his healthy plant based lifestyle he does not need to take aesthetic medication for his pain every day. Hence why he is passionate about helping others.
@@agapelove7426 lack of exercise doesn't make you fat, just weak, obesity is caused by having too much insulin in your body, animal fat doesn't spike as much insulin and is great for burning your own fat, so he's obese for not eating properly and not for not hitting the gym, you can make your own research on that, it's very helpful
@@agapelove7426 he is passionate about the diet because of his religion (Seventh Day Adventism), that says humans are supposed to eat only plant foods. Listen to him again - he quotes scripture to justify his position. Veganism is a cult/religion that believes if we stop eating animals, we can have utopia/heaven here on earth.
Oh my goodness so much incorrect information. This is disturbing. If we are currently meant to eat vegetables then it wouldn’t require so much “discipline” and will power. This is insanity. Why is meat so delicious and filling and make me feel wonderful every single time? And then eating a bunch of fruit and vegetables all I get it sensitive teeth and I’m still starving? You people are absolutely nuts!
@Your thoughts Not mine We weren't created to consume flesh, fish and meats. Our bodies and teeth were created to consume a plant based nutrition. We are not carnivores naturally. These were adopted by us, our brethren a detriment unfortunately for us.
@@ksitigarbha9787 I don't believe that's true. I keep hearing that, but never see any legitimate stats to back that up. Also, what is the alleged cause of death for these groups? If it's something like alcoholism or suicide, that distorts the findings, and it doesn't tell us anything.
@@Schpliffy What does needing dietary fiber have to do with either being an herbivore or an omnivore? Can cows, goats, horses or any typical herbivores choose to eat meat? Is human digestive system typical of all other herbivores or is it more in line with other organisms classified as omnivores? Please use critical thinking instead of supporting an argument based on pure dogmatism and fanaticism.
Schpliffy Yes, we need dietary fibre. It helps the healthy gut microbiome to proliferate and that keeps us healthy. Also, fibre keeps ‘things’ moving, so that the bowel is kept clean, helping to prevent cancer. This really is very basic stuff and is easy to find out using any search engine of choice...
Dude do you not understand evolution. Physical body naturally evolved to survive. Humans dont have abilities lions or wolves do.using tools and cooking meat already makes the diet unnatural. So we didn't evolve for that we just di it because of might.
A very impressive story - so well presented - and I would have enjoyed that you had had longer time so that you could have talked just a bit slower - but thank you for the very strong and very passionate story about the human race beings and the World
He is one of the beat vegan Drs on this planet. So intelligent and compassionate. A gift from heaven to the human race I my opinion, along with the other plant based Drs because the world needs to wake up and smell the coffee bean, not the meat.

And we’re destroying the planet with our obsession with eating animal products?
@@juliewake4585 You say that we don't have the teeth, jaws and digestive system to eat meat yet billions of people eat meat with no difficulty every single day so you are obviously wrong. Plants can not give us all the nutrition we need whereas meat has everything we need in every bite.
Anybody honestly reckon this doctor is in good health? He's obviously obese with tons of visceral fat, insulin resistance, lack of crucial fat soluble vitamins the whole thing you name it... keep up the good work so that people thrive on meat can thrive even better. :)
Claws to capture prey- we have our hands that are very flexible. We can grab and kill that way. We are also smart. Hunting and killing is easy for us and as we evolve along with technology, we no longer need the extra teeth, etc to capture food.
@@dannythwaites1318 I eat raw liver. Every Arab eats raw liver and raw meats. Never get sick. In fact this is even more bioavailable. Of course you cant do that with omega 6 rich grain fed animal products from the US. Come to Germany and taste real meat with the highest quality.
Wonderful lesson, how can anyone refute all of these facts?! I like how he says 'animal products addiction', that's what it comes down too and why so many are in denial but one day, hopefully soon, everyone will realize how perverted animal products really are!! Thank you Dr Mills for your fantastic info :)
The lecture posted was 2007. Dr. Mills looks kind of porky for being a vegan, wonder how he is doing now. Why is it that most vegans are under-40 females, but they eventually get sick over time, and have to revert back to being an omnivore?
He makes voluminous points and hooks you with his humor. Let's face it, the question if man is a carnivore is a silly argument to try to save the bad habit that man loves to eat meat and wants to continue to do so, not whether it's really the right fuel; it's "can we get away with this?". The cemeteries of humanity now resemble junkyards where 99 percent of the cars used the wrong fuel. That's obvious, but the visitors there are still trying to find ways to burn the wrong fuel and not wind up there prematurely. That's extremely sad but also extremely funny! As a doctor Mills doesn't like it, and gives us some wicked verbal spankings in a friendly chiding way. A must-see.
For reference, Hong Kong consumes more meat per person (695 grams per day or about 1.5 pounds) than any other nation, with a life expectancy of 84.3 years, the world’s highest. Meanwhile, India has the second lowest per capita meat consumption in the world, and the average life expectancy is 68.3 years. “Cardiovascular diseases are epidemic in India,” says Manga. “They accounted for 32% of adult deaths from 2010 to 2013. The figure for the U.S. is 23.4%.
Yes! We are designed to eat meat and I will never stop eating meat. So, I am going to die most likely very soon but that is better than being a vegetarian or a vegan.
Evidence ??? Your definition must be completely different to most biologists. I heard a lot of circular waffling and unsupported conclusions but absolutely no evidence. Our digestion system is closest to that of a canine. We don't have rumen, we don't chew our cud, we don't have the right teeth for eating plants and carbon analysis of our ancestors teeth (pre agriculture) show that our diet was 96% carnivore. Paleontologists can accurately determine the advent of agriculture because in the rise of dental caries, poor dental arches, malnutrition and degenerative diseases.
@Lost Wolf you begin to lose weight because its the combination of protein or fat AND carbs that makes you fat.. If you cut out carbs you lose weight.. There is no contention here. Humans evolved big brains when we began to cook MEAT. We literally evolved thanks to eating cooked meat. Meat has the kind of vitamins our bodies can readily absorb.. All plant nutrients need to be CONVERTED to be used. Here's some science: Eyes to the front = Predator. Eyes to the side = Prey. Our teeth prove we evolved to eat meat but have the capability to eat plants when meat was scarce. If you look at our early ancestors, we were primarily MEAT eaters. We werent built to be vegans.
flo1fication WRONG. You’re wrong. Total fat makes you fat. I’m a WFPB, and all I do is eat high amounts of carbs from potatoes, lentils, beans, rice etc. Nothing else makes you fat. Why are you fake meat eaters eating sixty grams of total fat from a burger? Why cook it? Eat bacon raw. Go on “carnivore/omnivore”. Go hunt for your food without man made weapons and guns. Go ahead. And last I recall, carnivores/omnivores don’t have any emotions to killing.
So much misinformation that i wonder if this guy is an doctor. Or he shouldn't be one. Seems like it was alot easier before to become a doctor... Very important to mention about so much about carnivores, but humans are no prey. We hunt in packs, a singel human is a prey, just like a sick or injured animal. We dont need to be able to run, as we use tools.We are not the only animal using tools, but we moved away from sticks and rocks, also developed a advanced language. No other animal have manage that Herbivores can see almost 180 degrees on both sides on their heads, have excellent smell and hearing. Humans have neither. Herbivores also only see black and white... Carnivores sees colours, now let that sink in for a moment. Human eyesight is also movement based... Now let that sink in for a moment. This is known facts, been for decades. IF something moves and its in your eyesight your eyes will focus on it automatically, its a KNOWN fact. The Neanderthal was more armoured than the modern human, it is showed that they had stronger bones, more muscle mass and had redused pain receptors, they could take a beating, but breaking a leg or an arm was a death sentence then, just as it is for carnivores. Modern man or Homo Sapiens cook their food, yes we do, we are the only animal who does. Therefore we dont need strong jaw muscles or teeth or specialised guts for raw meat as we dont eat raw meat. We are also the only animal who started with agriculture... Now let that sink in for a moment. Also our brain development increased when we stared to cook our food. That made human evolution not needing to be armoured like the Neanderthal or like previous human hybrids. As modern human used more advanced tools that where more advanced than stones and sticks. Also when humans hunted easy prey was like the carnivore example, hunting sick and injured animals, today is trophy hunting, it cant compare to early modern human living. It is also showed in research that language came from the female population as humans are pretty vulnerable as children, so females was gatherers and the men hunters, and as carnivores, hunts where not always successful. But the total energy gained from a kill was worth the hunt, as plants dont cut it in the long run. Can just refer to Africa today, where many eat a plant based diet, but eating animals as soon they get their hands on one, and they are Vitamin A deficient. thanks to the plant based diet they consume to gain energy. Also human babies cant be longer in the vom than 9 month, as the head gets to big, and the baby desires more energy than its possible for the mother to get. Damn basic doctor knowlege... Also herbivores babies can run from the second they hit the ground, he forgot to mention that... Can human babies do that? No they are pretty helpless like carnivore babies. Also not many carnivores lives in packs so they need to have many offsprings as many will die, herbivores lives in packs and can protect their young, and no need to have many offspring. And lets continue with eyesight and night vision, humans are a day creature, not a night creature. A cat are more active during the night than the day for example. So who need a good night vision then? So are wolfs, large cats and so on, doesn't mean that they cant hunt or do stuff during the day, same as humans. But then again, humans hunt during the day and then we need better eyesight during the day than during the night, its called evolution. Also wolfs have a pretty good smell as well... they are the primal dog... So if this was delivered as a school assignment, he would get an big F, as its all wrong even in 2007! Just freaking common teachings in normal schools, and when a doctor dont know that, I would be scared, very scared, because what more can he be wrong about.
This is exactly why I feed my dog raw food. They're designed for it. That's what they are suppose to eat. I wish I was born in a vegan house hold as it is pretty hard to wean off of things you've been eating for 25+ years. I've practiced it. I do plan on becoming vegan for good. In due time.
@@GTSN38 yes, he can be perceived as an idiot. I got that. He is not an idiot, though. He is woefully misinformed, willingly so, apparently. Even if he is an idiot, it's not helpful to call him one. Just sayin'. Should he become a vegan "in due time", I hope he pays close attention to his body, and the negative results show themselves sooner than later, so he can get off it. It's helpful to know the genesis of veganism. Read below. ......................................................................... Ellen G. White - a Victorian Lady, “prophetess” of the Seventh Day Adventists “… to bring into submission, the male sexual appetite, which could be controlled by diet… dispense with animal foods and use grains, vegetables and fruits as articles of diet. Foods to avoid: Minced pies, cakes, preserves, and highly-seasoned meats with gravies, create a feverish condition in the system, and inflame the animal passions…sip no more the beverage of China, no more the drinks of Java…” ............................................................................ Initially, veganism was to control the male sexual appetite. Then it was promoted for health. After long-term vegans left because it was ruining their health, it became about animal rights. That has not been working so well, so the latest iteration is about global warming (mixed with everything else except suppressing the male sexual appetite). People are attracted to veganism for health, for vanity (physical and psychological), and to feel like they are DOING SOMETHING and MAKING A DIFFERENCE. And then, for religion, of course. Even those who think it's not... they are following a religion. Should it be around ten years from now, I guarantee the reasons will be something not yet imagined.
@@inongekhabele however fruits and vegetables are loaded with potassuim, an essential element of promoting testosterone in men. Iv been vegan 2 years and get regular blood tests. My testosterone is higher than when I ate meat, by far. There is really nothing to justify eating animal products apart from sensory pleasure.
@WidePeepo7 Meat is actually healthy and nutritious. The issue is that most meat that people buy are conventionally raised in feedlots, factory farms, fed unnatural diets (GMO or not), and not allowed to graze and pasture. Processed meats (ex: cured meats) are not good either.
@WidePeepo7 Our carnivoros traits Humans have many small fat cells like all carnivores. ‘Pond and Mattacks compared the structure of fat cells in various types of animals. Carnivores were found to have a higher number of smaller fat cells and omnivores a smaller number of larger fat cells. Humans were found to be at the top of the carnivorous pattern. Pond and Mattacks conclude: “These figures suggest that the energy metabolism of humans is adapted to a diet in which lipids and proteins rather than carbohydrates, make a major contribution to the energy supply.”’ Humans have the stomach acidity of a unique carnivore. ‘Humans had a high level of acidity of 1.5 that lies between that of obligate and facultative scavengers. Producing acidity, and retaining the stomach walls to contain that acidity, is energetically expensive, so would presumably only evolve if the level of pathogens in the human diet was high.’ Note that herbivoros primates have a stomach pH varying from around 4 to 6 [17]. Most omnivores are between 2 and 4 [17]. As previously noted, humans have a reduced energy extraction capacity from plants. ‘Our large intestine, where fiber is processed to energy, is 77% smaller by volume than that of a chimpanzee our size … The size and our small intestine, where -macronutrients are absorbed is 62% larger than that of a chimpanzee our size … the gut morphology adaptations both improved animal food exploitation and at the same time hindered the full exploitation of fibrous plant foods’ Humans substituted primate climbing capabilities for an adaptation to throwing. ‘Roach et al claim that the structure of our shoulder represents an adaptation to carnivory. They describe how our shoulder is perfectly adapted to throwing, which must be useful, in their opinion, mainly in hunting and protection from predators. They show that in contrast, the chimpanzee’s shoulder is adapted to climbing trees.’ Humans have much higher fat reserves than chimps, our closest relatives [3]. Carrying a high amount of fat costs energy and reduces the speed of chasing or fleeting, but gives us the ability to go periods without food while we hunt and scavenge. Apes are constantly eating and surrounded by plants, and don’t need this function. If we were constantly eating plants, we wouldn’t have adapted this way. Human jaws and teeth shrank, forfeiting chewing capabilities. We know early humans crafted tools to help process meat, even before fire. It takes 39% to 46% less force to chew and swallow processed meat than processed root foods [11]. Evolution chose to forgo the ability to properly chew certain plant-based foods to allow for more room in the skull [11]. The ability to use tools also explains why we don’t have carnivorous fangs - we didn’t have to tear raw flesh from a carcass with our bare teeth. From all of these adaptations, it is clear that humans have been moving further from herbivory/omnivory, and closer to carnivory.
I respect. This doctors opinions. But from my own personal experience. A vegan diet and exercise literally was killing me. My doctor actually told me that I would not make it throughout the night. Long story short. There is balance to everything. A Vegetable based diet led me to severe Ulcerative Colitis. In Which I had to have partial colon removal. Because of my severe anemia, I also incurred memory loss as well. So now I eat a low carb and healthy carb diet. With low impact cardio and light weights. And I'm keeping my weight down. My memory is better and I'm not as anemic. I think each individual needs to go with what works for them. No one lives forever. But we can feel 'good' while we are here. I do what works for me , with a glass of red wine on the side. 😐 also for him to be a vegetarian, it doesn't look as so.
Wondering about the footage I have seen of baboons catching and eating wild birds and other creatures, and also chimpanzees hunting? would the argument be that they only do this when food is short?? footage of chimps is particularly disturbing...they seems so human, hunting in formation and with great stealth, just like people... they rip into raw flesh in the most brutal way, they seem to have the jaw strength and dental formation to carry this out with ease... they eat small monkeys but also wild pigs and small antelope etc Any thoughts appreciated!
@@dianet1659 that was after sin so yes meat consumption definitely was happening then. Before sin there was no death. You have to kill an animal before you can eat it.
I would like to challenge that video because carnivores are a big group. Do we count the ones that eat insects, fish. What about birds, what about marine mammals. Is a frog a carnivore??? I think it needs to dig deeper
Well, you are as wrong as he is. Try thinking logically for yourself and not just believing someone who can talk in a way that makes you think that they know what they are talking about.
@@phill6983 Sure, send me your body of evidence that effectively counters his scientific review of the evidence. Or better yet, give me a link to your presentation that shows the opposite. I’ll watch it and make a decision. I don’t think logic has any role here. This is a classification exercise. He is demonstrating that we evolved as non meat eaters. Just because we currently eat meat doesn’t mean we are well adapted to eat meat. I think if you want to use logic, look at all the obesity in the meat eating world and draw a conclusion.
@@alane3983 Using comparative biology to prove the natural diet is not science and its not clever. My main points to refute Mills are 1. We don't need sharp teeth and claws because we use intelligence, cooperation and tools to hunt animals. 2.Our stomach acid has a very low pH of around 1.5. That is very acidic and can easily digest raw meat. 3. Stable isotope testing shows that we have eaten a diet of mostly meat for the entire history of our species and for about 3 or 4 million years before that. 4. We don't share a common ancestor with many other animals so why would you compare us to a lion or a deer? We have evolved to be humans, not anything else. 4. Humans have caused the extinction of many many species of animals through over hunting. This shows that we are apex predators. We didn't just hunt them for trophies as Mills stupidly said. 5. We need B12 which is only available from animal sources. 6. We need many different fat soluble vitamins that aren't found in plants. 7. We need Omega 3 in the form that is found in animal flesh. 8. We may have the same digestive components as primates but the size of each is completely different. We have a large small intestine, hardly any caecum and a very small colon. This shows that we have evolved to absorb most of our nutrition through meat in our large small intestine and not much from fermenting plant matter in our colon. Comparative anatomy is not science. Milton Mills is not a scientist, he is a MD. Is a hagfish not a carnivore because it has no teeth? Is a vulture not a carnivore because it has no teeth?
The video description is misleading. Humans are definitely NOT herbivores. Look at gorillas, a close relative that truly is an herbivore, and you see the adaptations in the jaw and gut for plant processing. Gorillas spend many hours a day chewing low-nutrient food and the gut is well-suited to fermenting the result to complete the nutrient assimilation. Humans are omnivores for sure; every indigenous culture around the world consumes as much fatty meat as it can access. There is clearly some confusion in some viewers' mind about meat. Humans have an ideal protein intake of between 15-25% of total calories per day. Meats supply that easily, but the bulk of the energy calories are from either carbohydrate or fat. Our human evolution on seashores and plains clearly indicate that we were getting our nutrients from fat for millions of years. Carbs are seasonal, hunting is not. It is also true that every vitamin and mineral that humans need is assimilated easily from animal foods, but less easily from plants.
Brilliant! I learned so much in one single video! There are few things that I read, or watched on TV or in real life; those came up, here, explained with so many details. This is a huge wealth of knowledge about our conditiom en rapport with our world of Plants, animals, and ourselves as human species. So thank you, Dr Milton Mills.
The physiology lesson is super interesting and is the reason I sat through the video, but I don't think his argument holds up at all. Here is why: it is a combination of strawman argument and cherry-picking only the data that supports his position, and he's not taking on any of the serious arguments put forth from the other side. He is essentially trying to say that we must be herbivores (or plant- leaning omnivores) because our physiology is more similar to an ungulate than to a lion or wolf. Clearly nobody who advocates meat- eating is contesting this! We evolved our predatory adaptations in a very different way than any carnivore before us, but he completely overlooked this fact. He could've looked at how we are more adapted to meat- eating and hunting than any other ape (which I think would've been a more fair comparison), but he didn't. We are in the order of primates, not the order carnivora like lions and wolves, so let's compare apples to apples here. I'm sure the reason he didn't discuss this at all is because it would have completely undermined his entire thesis!
I am an animal care specialist of 39 years. This is spot on referencing canines. ♥
He said dogs can't go vegan. This is false. The 4th longest living dog on record was vegan. Most animal activists have vegan dogs and they thrive on a vegan diet.
Fun fact... The OLDEST living dog of all time ate what his owners ate.

@@Tadjuel11-11 all animals dont eat other animals. They eat plants.
@@athomewithrobin292 That is incorrect because your unaware of the cycle of life. Plants wait to eat the dead decaying things of which that decay has micro bugs in it which the plant ingests. The plants have creatures living in them and they get eaten by plant eaters. The plant eaters brew the live bugs in their stomachs along with their own which makes a cocktail of all kinds of crazy bacteria that multiply abundantly of which then the herbivore digests as food rather then the just the plant material itself. This makes even the plant eaters carnivores along with plants. Everything HERE on the plane of existence kills and eats something else. Everything is doing it just look into it more. Humans cannot digest fiber from plants and do not have a bacteria as a cow to break the fiber down and create the various bacteria to feed on the plant material and make tons of bacteria to digest. You see, a cow is a carnivore because it's feeding actually on the bacteria more so then the plant itself. It ferments inside its stomach and we cannot do that. We have a carnivore stomach that only is made from meat just as a wolf or a lion. Our intestines are identical to a carnivores. 😏

@@shannybananny68 Ah come on, shannybananny68, the talk is one and a half hours long. As I said, pretty well everything he says is rubbish and/or totally irrelevant. where do you want me to begin? If I was to go through everything that is wrong with this talk, it would take a book.
Like most Vegans he is convinced that when research talks about a plant based diet being the best for us, that they actually mean plant "only" diet. They don't. Most people in the world eat a plant based diet consisting of vegetables, roots and fruit making up the bulk of most cultures' diets with a small amount of meat , eggs and dairy. This is the healthiest diet for us. There is no culture anywhere in the world that is Vegan , never has been. Why is that, if it is so healthy for us?
He starts off 1.52. "We stop getting sick and get well " when we eat a plant diet. He is implying that meat causes everyone to be sick.. That is ridiculous. Is he implying that everyone in the world who eats meat is sick and that only vegans are healthy? He seems to assume that the whole world follows the unhealthy american diet of high sugar, over consumption of meat, too few veggies, and no fruit unless it is fortified with tons of sugar. They don't. Of course Americans get sick. Most of the world don't!
He spends most of the talk pointing out the traits we DON'T share with carnivores, and extolling the traits we DO share with herbivores. He conveniently leaves out the traits we express that ARE very useful to us as meat eaters, and leaves out the traits we express that we DON't share with herbivores. That's convenient, isn't it?
But the whole thing is irrelevant anyway> Why is he spending hours telling us what carnivores have and can do , compared to us? No one is saying we are carnivores. We are OMNIVORES! there is no argument left on that one. Every trait we display points to us being omnivores. We are able to eat and digest meat and plant very efficiently. We are very efficient hunters, and very efficient gatherers. Are skills have made us the most successful animal on this planet, able to sustain ourselves in virtually every ecological niche, and adapt very rapidly to changing environments.
Has he ever spent any time with indigenous hunter gatherers?. How does he explain their feeding culture? How would he explain to the Inuit or the Sami or the Baju of Indonesia that really they should not be eating meat or fish, because us Humans are really herbivores? The whole concept is ridiculous.
It would be easier if you picked out some points that you think are highly relevant to us being herbivores, and I will tell you where he is wrong. This is taking much too long to write. There is so much here I just don't know where to begin. The guys an idiot, and I really can't be bothered with him. If you cannot see that, then I really have no words to add.
@@mchooksis First of all, "There is no culture anywhere in the world that is Vegan, never has been." The Okinawa diet was 97% plant foods, about 1% fish, 1% dairy, 1% eggs, and 90% of that was whole foods so rarely any processed foods. If you are suggesting that the 3% of animal products is what made it the healthiest diet you are mad.
"He convveniently leaves out the traits we express that are very useful to us as meat eaters." He has limited time he needs to get to the point and not waste time to give as much info as he can in that time frame.
"Has he ever spent any time with indigenous hunter gatherers?" Doesn't matter about them because they are in a survival state all the time. We have supermarkets where we can choose what we eat three times a day, they don't.
HarryGJ excellent points! I come straight from indigenous people and believe me, my people do not live in a “survival state” but live in harmony with all nature (plants and animals) and consume them all. Organic living, with reverence and affection for the animals. We take loving care of them and they give us more life and health. Their live bodies fertilize the soil so plants are healthy and their milk strengthens us. Their bodies give us the 50+ fat-soluble nutrients only animal products provide. No need for supplements. The fruits, herbs and vegetables cleanse and heal. Many fermented dairy and vegetable dishes. When I was a vegan of nine years, I looked down on my culture’s foods practices, but when my body began cannibalizing itself and I almost lost my life due to multi-organ failure despite hundreds of dollars a month in supplements, I had no choice but to either open my mind or leave four children without a mother.
Very informative lecture but missing a few points.
If humans were only meant to eat plants, why do we have acidic stomachs (1.5 - 3.5) similar to other meat eating animals?
Why did our human ancestors have bone collagen carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios similar or higher than other high level carnivores, indicating that our human ancestors ate a meat heavy diet?
Why did megafauna suddenly become extinct when humans entered Australia and America?
How did humans survive through the Ice Age when it’s highly unlikely edible plants were available?
Why do humans need vitamin B12 and we can only get it in nature by eating animals foods?
Why do plant foods contain omega-3 in ALA form, which is highly un-bioavailable to humans? Why do animals foods contain omega-3 in more bioavailable forms of EPA & DHA, what our bodies really need?
You could make just as many arguments as to why humans need animals foods in their diets. Every nutrient that is required by humans is more bioavailable and in greater quantities when consumed from animal foods. The only nutrient found more in plant foods is vitamin C.
Veganism is the original diet for human consumption due to anatomical and physiological reasons. Humans migrated out of their original habitat Africa which is very hot even during the Ice age the temperature was warm. The Ice age affected humans who migrated to places like Europe, North America etc. Humans could only eat meat(animals) after the invention "tools" (e.g knife,spear,gun) and discovering fire. Humans are the only mammals that need "tools" and/or fire in order provide a palatable meal. Why ? Meat eating is not human's natural diet but it is the lion's natural diet. Humans have adapted to eating meat out of necessity (e.g Ice age,lack of vegetation). Therefore, I understand your argument but there are many people who chose to eat the original diet.
Before the application of mass farming technology and chemical(pesticides) usage, Humans got B12 vitamin from the root of vegetables,dirt and streams of water which were created by bugs. In fact this is how ALL mammals got efficient amounts of B12. Even the cow which is vegan and the human consumes in order to get B12 ??? I will not argue that there are some nutritional value in some meat but Americans eat way too much meat . We are paying a heavy price by having high rates of Cancer, Hypertension, Diabetes,Coronary artery disease.
Human groups that have historically lived a long and healthy lives (e.g Blue zones) eat diets consisting of primarily none or very little meat and high vegetable/fruit consumption. For example Okinawa,Japan and Loma Linda, California.
@Pete From Detroit ur ignorant. Their are clear health benefits to eating plant based. We americans eat way tooo much meat which is why our healthcare risks and costs are through the roof. Our illness and pharmaceuticals companys make money off our illness and ultimate death.

So why do we stop the goat from eating things it shouldn't and not ourselves.
No wonder chronic illness is so common in humans.

That means its not a herbivore smh
WarmMilk why are people farming animals if you people want to believe you’re carnivore/omnivore? True carnivores/omnivores don’t farm. They have a six feet intestines short than us. They have the speed, claws, fans to raise, grab and hunt their prey. They can eat raw meat. Humans have to cook it. Most meat you have to cook. You have emotions towards living beings. Carnivores/omnivores do not.
Most herbivores eat meat sometimes. Humans start to eat meat about 2 million years ago and evolved till what we are now. Without that, you wouldnt watch this video.

I agree, we should not eat all the processed and refined garbage like vegetables oil, sugar, flowers and all the products they use it in.
He makes a very strong case for a plant based diet. This said, our closest genetic cousins, the chimpanzees, also eat some animal proteins. There is of course also the field of anthropology, and the record is clear that all of our ancestors have eaten some meat for hundreds of thousands, if not millions of years. So the most natural human diet is probably scavenged fruits and starches with occasional doses of meat, if the opportunity came.
Actually, there is a preponderance of paleontological evidence that clearly shows our early ancestors ate a diet that primarily consisted of meat and was supplemented by additional plant products such as berries, nuts, etc. This is typical of even the remaining hunter-gatherer tribes still existing on the planet. Personally, although I sympathize with vegetarians and vegans from an ethical standpoint (I love animals and hate the idea of eating them), I also believe that the optimal human diet is primarily carnivore.
I like this guy's spirit, he has good intentions for teaching

Best stand up comedy special ever
This has to be one of my all-time favorite talks by one of my all-time favorite speakers.
I watched this exact presentation ( or one just like it ) by Dr. Mills almost a decade ago and it was such a motivating factor in my change of diet ( and views on ecology ).
Too bad that he is deteriorating so much these days that it looks like he won't be able to speak soon. Maybe he should have eaten a species appropriate diet, which for humans is meat and fat of animals.
He's a liar, all humans are carnivores to the bone.
@@phill6983 what a nonsense. Take a look to Chef AJ's channel. He has given brilliant presentstions these days

Great presentation!!! Thanks for posting
Pigs eat meat and are omnivores and have digestive systems similar to humans. I wonder why they refused to mention that in their video?
Not only do herbivores eat things that don't run away from them...they eat things that WANT to be eaten. Plants want animals to eat their fruits and seeds because then you'll roam to some other part of the land and spread some of the seeds in your stool. It's the only way most plants can spread their seeds as wide as possible and get greater genetic variation in new sapplings
I've been eating plant-free for almost a year now. Physically and mentally healthier than I've ever been. I'm 51 now.
That was THE BEST presentation I ever saw on the subject.
It may well be THE BEST but it is still utter garbage!
@@phill6983 how so
@@polishprince9086 Because everything that Mills says is wrong. He is comparing other carnivores to humans. We are not other carnivores, we are humans and we are carnivores. Except for the last 10,000 years or so humans have eaten mostly meat for the past 380,000 years and for nearly four million years before that in earlier species. Search for "The evolution of the human trophic level during the Pleistocene". This shows through the actual science of stable isotope testing that humans are carnivores. This is actual empirical scientific evidence, not some random mumblings of a person who has no qualifications to speak on this subject but is only looking to justify his ideology and spread propaganda.
Other points that show that we are meant to eat meat:
1. We have one of the most acidic stomach acids of any animal. Ideal for digesting meat in our stomach.
2. Compared to other primates we have a relatively large small intestine. This is great for absorbing the nutrients from meat.
3.Compared to other primates we have a very small large intestine. This is our colon. We don't have a big large intestine so we can't ferment large quantities of plant material.
4. We don't really have a caecum anymore. All that is left of it is our appendix. Other primates have a large caecum to help ferment plant material.
5. Humans are amazing hunters with one of the highest hunting success rates of any animal. We use our opposable thumbs to make and use weapons. We are very good at throwing. We use communication to work as a team. We have even trained other animals, dogs and birds, to help us catch our prey. By using all of these skills we are able to kill prey that are far bigger, stronger or faster than us.
Mills can argue as much as he wants about teeth, speed and strength etc but all of those are negated because we didn't need to evolve these things as we evolved plenty of other skills instead. For example, we don't need big pointy teeth as we don't tend to catch our prey with our mouth! We use spears, knives, clubs, nets etc, which are much more effective and allow use to attack from a safer distance.
Hope my comment makes sense and helps you understand that Mills isn't actually looking at the science at all. Let me know what you think but only after you have read the study that I have cited. Sorry I can't put a direct link but UA-cam won't allow me to. Again, search for "The evolution of the human trophic level during the Pleistocene". Good luck 😃
Thank you for posting this as I believe that we designed exactly as Dr Mills describes us. I will post this to FB for my carnivores !!!

@@harrycraft5100 you mean like anthony bordaine?
compassionate , funny , and dangerously wrong
For 2.6 million year humans thrived on mostly animal nutritition
this is shown not just the tools we used but buy chemical analysis of ancient bones … we ate more meat that even predators
Humans ate mostly red meat,organs, & fat, along with some insects , veggies, fruits, & nuts for 99.99% of the 2.4 million years we have existed …
anything else is not normal for humans .
Dr. Mills you are so full of info to give us. I learned so much about why I am a herbivore. Thank you for your dedication to the cause of us being plant based eaters.

Beats by Daurc Knyte don’t change your diet beyond 30 days.
Inonge Khabele Can you elaborate? I don't understand
4 minutes in I'm planning my new plant based diet
@@DaurcKnyte veganism is a cleansing diet. Beyond 30 days, the body begins cannibalizing its tissues for nutrition. It doesn't matter how many supplements one takes on a vegan diet, they cannot help. We need fat-soluble vitamins that come from animal sources, and cholesterol. Veganism is fasting. Fasting is good, but not as a lifestyle. Even 30 days is pushing it. Also - plants produce toxins to defend themselves from what are prey to them. Plants are best eaten with animal products, and most plants need to be cooked, blanched, and fermented to take away most of the toxins and be made more digestible.
Inonge Khabele facts.
Fruit shall bee your meat. Anything from a flower is a fruit ;;
We actually used to hunt by running animals to death thousands of years ago lol.Also we are built for long distance running, we have lots of shock absorbers in our bodies. Ex: a meniscus

Humans are indeed omnivores, we can eat both meat and plants. However, we are suppose to eat meat in moderation and not at super large quantities. We are neither a vegetarian species or carnivorous, because of that, humans can survive on either diet, however a well balanced diet is best for us, moderation of most food groups.
Supererik man,
Great point and scientifically sound!👍
You obviously didn't watch Dr. Mill's whole presentation. You clearly missed a quote of lot of facts about the physiological difference between carnivores and herbivores.
You obviously didn't watch Dr Mill's presentation in it's entirety, because you seem to have missed some very definite facts that prove that our bodies do NOT have the organs, sytems, enzymes or functions required for digesting meat.
@@Xianne027 you're obviously a gullible moron.
Xianne027
Actually, our organs and bodies are designed to eat both plants and meat. See, herbivore species lack canine teeth, which is something we have. Also, species that are strictly herbivorous have multiple stomachs, we have one stomach which is something that is only present in omnivorous and carnivorous species.
Dr Milton Mills is my hero
The fact you can survive and thrive off beef alone says it all.
No plant compares to beef, that’s just the facts. Just google “plant protein vs animal protein”…it’s not even close
Yeah, beef and eggs are number 1 food source

Thankfully due to his healthy plant based lifestyle he does not need to take aesthetic medication for his pain every day. Hence why he is passionate about helping others.
@@agapelove7426 lack of exercise doesn't make you fat, just weak, obesity is caused by having too much insulin in your body, animal fat doesn't spike as much insulin and is great for burning your own fat, so he's obese for not eating properly and not for not hitting the gym, you can make your own research on that, it's very helpful
@@agapelove7426 he is passionate about the diet because of his religion (Seventh Day Adventism), that says humans are supposed to eat only plant foods. Listen to him again - he quotes scripture to justify his position. Veganism is a cult/religion that believes if we stop eating animals, we can have utopia/heaven here on earth.
We are carnivores! The human body cannot break down plants!
Oh my goodness so much incorrect information. This is disturbing. If we are currently meant to eat vegetables then it wouldn’t require so much “discipline” and will power. This is insanity.

What does needing dietary fiber have to do with either being an herbivore or an omnivore? Can cows, goats, horses or any typical herbivores choose to eat meat? Is human digestive system typical of all other herbivores or is it more in line with other organisms classified as omnivores? Please use critical thinking instead of supporting an argument based on pure dogmatism and fanaticism.
Schpliffy Yes, we need dietary fibre. It helps the healthy gut microbiome to proliferate and that keeps us healthy. Also, fibre keeps ‘things’ moving, so that the bowel is kept clean, helping to prevent cancer. This really is very basic stuff and is easy to find out using any search engine of choice...
Schpliffy no, we do not need any fibre at all.

Amazing lecture. I learned a great deal. Thanks for posting.
The lecture posted was 2007. Dr. Mills looks kind of porky for being a vegan, wonder how he is doing now. Why is it that most vegans are under-40 females, but they eventually get sick over time, and have to revert back to being an omnivore?
He makes voluminous points and hooks you with his humor. Let's face it, the question if man is a carnivore is a silly argument to try to save the bad habit that man loves to eat meat and wants to continue to do so, not whether it's really the right fuel; it's "can we get away with this?". The cemeteries of humanity now resemble junkyards where 99 percent of the cars used the wrong fuel. That's obvious, but the visitors there are still trying to find ways to burn the wrong fuel and not wind up there prematurely. That's extremely sad but also extremely funny! As a doctor Mills doesn't like it, and gives us some wicked verbal spankings in a friendly chiding way. A must-see.
For reference, Hong Kong consumes more meat per person (695 grams per day or about 1.5 pounds) than any other nation, with a life expectancy of 84.3 years, the world’s highest. Meanwhile, India has the second lowest per capita meat consumption in the world, and the average life expectancy is 68.3 years.

THE MOST HIGH GOD SAID WE COULD EAT MEAT IM NOT LISTENING TO THIS GUY YOU NEED FAT ON YOUR DIET..
dusemike123 Romans 14:2
How old are you?
Humans are an exception that broke the game, why do we walk on 2 legs have no fur and sweat?
Very strong evidence that can not be argued only denied, by people who choose not to see the truth
Evidence ??? Your definition must be completely different to most biologists. I heard a lot of circular waffling and unsupported conclusions but absolutely no evidence. Our digestion system is closest to that of a canine. We don't have rumen, we don't chew our cud, we don't have the right teeth for eating plants and carbon analysis of our ancestors teeth (pre agriculture) show that our diet was 96% carnivore. Paleontologists can accurately determine the advent of agriculture because in the rise of dental caries, poor dental arches, malnutrition and degenerative diseases.
@Lost Wolf you begin to lose weight because its the combination of protein or fat AND carbs that makes you fat.. If you cut out carbs you lose weight.. There is no contention here. Humans evolved big brains when we began to cook MEAT. We literally evolved thanks to eating cooked meat. Meat has the kind of vitamins our bodies can readily absorb.. All plant nutrients need to be CONVERTED to be used.
Here's some science: Eyes to the front = Predator. Eyes to the side = Prey. Our teeth prove we evolved to eat meat but have the capability to eat plants when meat was scarce. If you look at our early ancestors, we were primarily MEAT eaters. We werent built to be vegans.
flo1fication WRONG. You’re wrong. Total fat makes you fat. I’m a WFPB, and all I do is eat high amounts of carbs from potatoes, lentils, beans, rice etc. Nothing else makes you fat. Why are you fake meat eaters eating sixty grams of total fat from a burger? Why cook it? Eat bacon raw. Go on “carnivore/omnivore”. Go hunt for your food without man made weapons and guns. Go ahead. And last I recall, carnivores/omnivores don’t have any emotions to killing.

So much misinformation that i wonder if this guy is an doctor. Or he shouldn't be one. Seems like it was alot easier before to become a doctor...
Very important to mention about so much about carnivores, but humans are no prey. We hunt in packs, a singel human is a prey, just like a sick or injured animal. We dont need to be able to run, as we use tools.We are not the only animal using tools, but we moved away from sticks and rocks, also developed a advanced language. No other animal have manage that
Herbivores can see almost 180 degrees on both sides on their heads, have excellent smell and hearing. Humans have neither.
Herbivores also only see black and white... Carnivores sees colours, now let that sink in for a moment. Human eyesight is also movement based... Now let that sink in for a moment.
This is known facts, been for decades. IF something moves and its in your eyesight your eyes will focus on it automatically, its a KNOWN fact.
The Neanderthal was more armoured than the modern human, it is showed that they had stronger bones, more muscle mass and had redused pain receptors, they could take a beating, but breaking a leg or an arm was a death sentence then, just as it is for carnivores.
Modern man or Homo Sapiens cook their food, yes we do, we are the only animal who does. Therefore we dont need strong jaw muscles or teeth or specialised guts for raw meat as we dont eat raw meat. We are also the only animal who started with agriculture... Now let that sink in for a moment. Also our brain development increased when we stared to cook our food.
That made human evolution not needing to be armoured like the Neanderthal or like previous human hybrids. As modern human used more advanced tools that where more advanced than stones and sticks.
Also when humans hunted easy prey was like the carnivore example, hunting sick and injured animals, today is trophy hunting, it cant compare to early modern human living.
It is also showed in research that language came from the female population as humans are pretty vulnerable as children, so females was gatherers and the men hunters, and as carnivores, hunts where not always successful. But the total energy gained from a kill was worth the hunt, as plants dont cut it in the long run. Can just refer to Africa today, where many eat a plant based diet, but eating animals as soon they get their hands on one, and they are Vitamin A deficient. thanks to the plant based diet they consume to gain energy.
Also human babies cant be longer in the vom than 9 month, as the head gets to big, and the baby desires more energy than its possible for the mother to get.
Damn basic doctor knowlege...
Also herbivores babies can run from the second they hit the ground, he forgot to mention that... Can human babies do that?
No they are pretty helpless like carnivore babies. Also not many carnivores lives in packs so they need to have many offsprings as many will die, herbivores lives in packs and can protect their young, and no need to have many offspring.
And lets continue with eyesight and night vision, humans are a day creature, not a night creature.
A cat are more active during the night than the day for example. So who need a good night vision then?
So are wolfs, large cats and so on, doesn't mean that they cant hunt or do stuff during the day, same as humans. But then again, humans hunt during the day and then we need better eyesight during the day than during the night, its called evolution.
Also wolfs have a pretty good smell as well... they are the primal dog...
So if this was delivered as a school assignment, he would get an big F, as its all wrong even in 2007!
Just freaking common teachings in normal schools, and when a doctor dont know that, I would be scared, very scared, because what more can he be wrong about.
This is exactly why I feed my dog raw food. They're designed for it. That's what they are suppose to eat. I wish I was born in a vegan house hold as it is pretty hard to wean off of things you've been eating for 25+ years. I've practiced it. I do plan on becoming vegan for good. In due time.

Minced pies, cakes, preserves, and highly-seasoned meats with gravies, create a feverish condition in the system, and inflame the animal passions…sip no more the beverage of China, no more the drinks of Java…”
............................................................................
Initially, veganism was to control the male sexual appetite. Then it was promoted for health. After long-term vegans left because it was ruining their health, it became about animal rights. That has not been working so well, so the latest iteration is about global warming (mixed with everything else except suppressing the male sexual appetite).
People are attracted to veganism for health, for vanity (physical and psychological), and to feel like they are DOING SOMETHING and MAKING A DIFFERENCE. And then, for religion, of course. Even those who think it's not... they are following a religion.
Should it be around ten years from now, I guarantee the reasons will be something not yet imagined.
Mike G how? His dogs are omnivores. Their jaw moves up and down like a cat, a wolf, a bear, shark, cheetah, Lion etc. Even a fucking snake.
Humans and dogs are carnivores idiot.
@@inongekhabele however fruits and vegetables are loaded with potassuim, an essential element of promoting testosterone in men. Iv been vegan 2 years and get regular blood tests. My testosterone is higher than when I ate meat, by far. There is really nothing to justify eating animal products apart from sensory pleasure.
I think you are wrong about humans not being able to regenerate nerve cells
Wonderfully presented. I would love to see an intellectual debate by a keto supporter challenging these facts.
There are some debates on here on that.. i saw one last night between Dr Gregor and a keto supporter, it was only 5 mins but fantastic
I don't think the Keto people can hold a candle to the mountain of evidence this guy just laid out.
You won't see an "intellectual" debate including a keto supporter.
@WidePeepo7 Meat is actually healthy and nutritious. The issue is that most meat that people buy are conventionally raised in feedlots, factory farms, fed unnatural diets (GMO or not), and not allowed to graze and pasture. Processed meats (ex: cured meats) are not good either.
@WidePeepo7 Our carnivoros traits
Humans have many small fat cells like all carnivores. ‘Pond and Mattacks compared the structure of fat cells in various types of animals. Carnivores were found to have a higher number of smaller fat cells and omnivores a smaller number of larger fat cells. Humans were found to be at the top of the carnivorous pattern. Pond and Mattacks conclude: “These figures suggest that the energy metabolism of humans is adapted to a diet in which lipids and proteins rather than carbohydrates, make a major contribution to the energy supply.”’
Humans have the stomach acidity of a unique carnivore. ‘Humans had a high level of acidity of 1.5 that lies between that of obligate and facultative scavengers. Producing acidity, and retaining the stomach walls to contain that acidity, is energetically expensive, so would presumably only evolve if the level of pathogens in the human diet was high.’ Note that herbivoros primates have a stomach pH varying from around 4 to 6 [17]. Most omnivores are between 2 and 4 [17].
As previously noted, humans have a reduced energy extraction capacity from plants. ‘Our large intestine, where fiber is processed to energy, is 77% smaller by volume than that of a chimpanzee our size … The size and our small intestine, where -macronutrients are absorbed is 62% larger than that of a chimpanzee our size … the gut morphology adaptations both improved animal food exploitation and at the same time hindered the full exploitation of fibrous plant foods’
Humans substituted primate climbing capabilities for an adaptation to throwing. ‘Roach et al claim that the structure of our shoulder represents an adaptation to carnivory. They describe how our shoulder is perfectly adapted to throwing, which must be useful, in their opinion, mainly in hunting and protection from predators. They show that in contrast, the chimpanzee’s shoulder is adapted to climbing trees.’
Humans have much higher fat reserves than chimps, our closest relatives [3]. Carrying a high amount of fat costs energy and reduces the speed of chasing or fleeting, but gives us the ability to go periods without food while we hunt and scavenge. Apes are constantly eating and surrounded by plants, and don’t need this function. If we were constantly eating plants, we wouldn’t have adapted this way.
Human jaws and teeth shrank, forfeiting chewing capabilities. We know early humans crafted tools to help process meat, even before fire. It takes 39% to 46% less force to chew and swallow processed meat than processed root foods [11]. Evolution chose to forgo the ability to properly chew certain plant-based foods to allow for more room in the skull [11]. The ability to use tools also explains why we don’t have carnivorous fangs - we didn’t have to tear raw flesh from a carcass with our bare teeth.
From all of these adaptations, it is clear that humans have been moving further from herbivory/omnivory, and closer to carnivory.
Why is this not in the news every day?
Because they would sell less meat and dairy products.
Thank God it is not!
Bc its bullshit.
Because meat eaters are in such denial that they'll blindly fight the facts to justify their eating preferences.
I respect. This doctors opinions. But from my own personal experience. A vegan diet and exercise literally was killing me. My doctor actually told me that I would not make it throughout the night. Long story short. There is balance to everything. A Vegetable based diet led me to severe Ulcerative Colitis. In Which I had to have partial colon removal. Because of my severe anemia, I also incurred memory loss as well. So now I eat a low carb and healthy carb diet. With low impact cardio and light weights. And I'm keeping my weight down. My memory is better and I'm not as anemic. I think each individual needs to go with what works for them. No one lives forever. But we can feel 'good' while we are here. I do what works for me , with a glass of red wine on the side. 😐 also for him to be a vegetarian, it doesn't look as so.
Wondering about the footage I have seen of baboons catching and eating wild birds and other creatures, and also chimpanzees hunting? would the argument be that they only do this when food is short?? footage of chimps is particularly disturbing...they seems so human, hunting in formation and with great stealth, just like people... they rip into raw flesh in the most brutal way, they seem to have the jaw strength and dental formation to carry this out with ease... they eat small monkeys but also wild pigs and small antelope etc Any thoughts appreciated!
We have 3 different kinds of teeth. Do humans have 32 Molar Teeth just like a Pacu Fish that eats berries ?.
I have one question.
Is Dr Mills single?
@Damian A NOOOOOO
What's on your mind?😄
Denise brewer that's my question Too lol 😁
Smart guys are such a turn on
Before sin. There was no death. So we had to be designed not to eat meat.
Sooo when God called his followers for fatted calf. Also Cain was farmer and Able handled the domesticated animals.
@@dianet1659 that was after sin so yes meat consumption definitely was happening then. Before sin there was no death. You have to kill an animal before you can eat it.
Dr. Mills so intelligent and great speaker I'm going to show this to all my carnivore friends and family Go Vegans!
@Democrats are cunts I have friends who eat meat :)
@Democrats are cunts no I don't have friends who solely live off just meat I wasn't be serious was being cute
@@marilynparis2467 moron.
I would like to challenge that video because carnivores are a big group. Do we count the ones that eat insects, fish. What about birds, what about marine mammals. Is a frog a carnivore??? I think it needs to dig deeper
Considered we evolved from aquatic apes, learning about how we are similar to amphibians and birds/reptiles is a non point.
@@wendiesel2606 I understand but it would have been nice to explain why he chose those carnivores over others for argument sake
An amazing presentation. Certainly convinced me I’m not a predacious creature.
Well, you are as wrong as he is. Try thinking logically for yourself and not just believing someone who can talk in a way that makes you think that they know what they are talking about.
@@phill6983 Sure, send me your body of evidence that effectively counters his scientific review of the evidence. Or better yet, give me a link to your presentation that shows the opposite. I’ll watch it and make a decision. I don’t think logic has any role here. This is a classification exercise. He is demonstrating that we evolved as non meat eaters. Just because we currently eat meat doesn’t mean we are well adapted to eat meat. I think if you want to use logic, look at all the obesity in the meat eating world and draw a conclusion.
@@alane3983 Using comparative biology to prove the natural diet is not science and its not clever. My main points to refute Mills are
1. We don't need sharp teeth and claws because we use intelligence, cooperation and tools to hunt animals.
2.Our stomach acid has a very low pH of around 1.5. That is very acidic and can easily digest raw meat.
3. Stable isotope testing shows that we have eaten a diet of mostly meat for the entire history of our species and for about 3 or 4 million years before that.
4. We don't share a common ancestor with many other animals so why would you compare us to a lion or a deer? We have evolved to be humans, not anything else.
4. Humans have caused the extinction of many many species of animals through over hunting. This shows that we are apex predators. We didn't just hunt them for trophies as Mills stupidly said.
5. We need B12 which is only available from animal sources.
6. We need many different fat soluble vitamins that aren't found in plants.
7. We need Omega 3 in the form that is found in animal flesh.
8. We may have the same digestive components as primates but the size of each is completely different. We have a large small intestine, hardly any caecum and a very small colon. This shows that we have evolved to absorb most of our nutrition through meat in our large small intestine and not much from fermenting plant matter in our colon.
Comparative anatomy is not science. Milton Mills is not a scientist, he is a MD.
Is a hagfish not a carnivore because it has no teeth? Is a vulture not a carnivore because it has no teeth?
This is one of THE BEST I mean D BEST presentation on why “WE ARE HERBIVORES” I have come upon.
I’m wowed! Thank you 🙏🏽
Brilliant talk. This totally made sense. 100% committing to a plant only diet!
The video description is misleading. Humans are definitely NOT herbivores. Look at gorillas, a close relative that truly is an herbivore, and you see the adaptations in the jaw and gut for plant processing. Gorillas spend many hours a day chewing low-nutrient food and the gut is well-suited to fermenting the result to complete the nutrient assimilation. Humans are omnivores for sure; every indigenous culture around the world consumes as much fatty meat as it can access. There is clearly some confusion in some viewers' mind about meat. Humans have an ideal protein intake of between 15-25% of total calories per day. Meats supply that easily, but the bulk of the energy calories are from either carbohydrate or fat. Our human evolution on seashores and plains clearly indicate that we were getting our nutrients from fat for millions of years. Carbs are seasonal, hunting is not. It is also true that every vitamin and mineral that humans need is assimilated easily from animal foods, but less easily from plants.
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuh
Brilliant! I learned so much in one single video! There are few things that I read, or watched on TV or in real life; those came up, here, explained with so many details.
This is a huge wealth of knowledge about our conditiom en rapport with our world of Plants, animals, and ourselves as human species.
So thank you, Dr Milton Mills.
The physiology lesson is super interesting and is the reason I sat through the video, but I don't think his argument holds up at all. Here is why: it is a combination of strawman argument and cherry-picking only the data that supports his position, and he's not taking on any of the serious arguments put forth from the other side. He is essentially trying to say that we must be herbivores (or plant- leaning omnivores) because our physiology is more similar to an ungulate than to a lion or wolf. Clearly nobody who advocates meat- eating is contesting this! We evolved our predatory adaptations in a very different way than any carnivore before us, but he completely overlooked this fact. He could've looked at how we are more adapted to meat- eating and hunting than any other ape (which I think would've been a more fair comparison), but he didn't. We are in the order of primates, not the order carnivora like lions and wolves, so let's compare apples to apples here. I'm sure the reason he didn't discuss this at all is because it would have completely undermined his entire thesis!
This was awesom! Thank you Dr. Miles 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿❤🤴🏾
Dr. Mills is awesome... so much to "chew on."
