@@liamstopstinnitus4617 Nothing. That's the point. Nothing happened to me. Had I NOT read "How Not to Die," and "How Not to Diet," then maybe something WOULD have happened to me. I owe this guy.
My son will graduate from med school in May. I am very happy to say He is heavily influenced by Dr. Greger. Would like to shake this mans hand some day.
This man is just brilliant. I'm haunted by a response I received from my Oncologist in 2014 when I was diagnosed with cancer. I just knew in my bones that diet was part of the answer for cure/prevention. I started to talk about nutrition and the response was, "Nothing you ate caused this. You just won the world's worst lottery." To their credit it was indeed a rare cancer, but it's back, and (once again) I wish I had listened to that divine voice trying to save me. Thank God this time He's sent an Angel/Doctor to help me save my life!; especially since my employer made it impossible for me to properly take care of myself last time. No job is more important than your health. If you can, once you know that your health and happiness is not a priority to your employer, move on!
I just adore this guy. Not only because with his dedication and work he's saving millions of lives, but because he's an all-around beautiful human being. Compassionate, and truthful. We could use a lot more of his type in this world. Thank You, Dr. Greger.
Awesome that he got on a TED Talk. Let's hope many people view this one. His book "How Not to Die" is eye-opening and based on solid scientific research.
I just adore this man. He is funny and so right on! I smile every time I see his email has arrived. My father had terrible "calcification" in his heart---he had no idea. He has eaten vegan/plant based/no oil now for 13 years. He is the picture of health and has reduced the plaque in his heart. Thanks to the work of Esselstyn and Greger!
I have nothing but praise for Dr. Greger. He is the leading expert on nutrition nowadays. Within years from now, people will talk about unhealthy food in the same way they are talking about smoking. Actually it's happening already and more and more people each day are more and properly informed about the fabulous benefits of a plant based healthy diet. Now gimme those beets and chard, spinach, kale, carrots, cabbage, apples, oranges, beans, nuts, oats etc.!
I haven’t eaten meat or dairy for quite a few years and I finally gave up fish very recently, making me now a vegan. It was mostly an ethical decision but everything is pointing in that direction. Plant based is the only way to go.
That change is taking place in health conscious societies, where there are efforts to raise awareness about the role of nutrition and behavioural habits in preventing and treating/coping with diseases. Change is resisted in societies, where there is ignorance about the contribution of diet and habits in maintaining healthy life style. Change is rejected by those who consider eating and smoking a pleasure due to addiction. There is also a group which is aware, but cannot afford or have no access to a healthy diet.
Excellent presentation. The facts are conclusive. We need to learn with history: In a few years we will be disgusted by the food industry manipulative tactics like we are today by the 1950's tobacco industry tactics. People have the power to change right way what are they eating and to make politicians pass laws that prohibits misguided manipulative adverts. We must demand scientific accurate nutrition classes for medical staff as they are the providers of a service that deals directly with our lives and deaths! What is more important than our health?!..
As a professor I have studied and shared the absolute lunacy of all of those old tobacco ads and shared them with my student. I published research regarding smoking activity in today's elementary schools. Dr. Greger DID present evidence of actual vetted studies in his presentation, but just like in today's world people don't want to believe the science. My husband became a vegan five years ago at 330 pounds. Within two years he had lost 115 pounds and is doing very well at 70 years old. Thanks Dr. Greger for the reminder.

My professor assigned this video for extra credit work in my speech class and I didn't expect to watch the whole video. My expectations were wrong and now I'm a big fan. Thanks professor and Dr. Greger!
I've been whole foods, plant-based for over thirteen years. My bloodwork is now stellar, at 45 I have enough energy to keep up with my insanely active teen, and sleep like a baby. So grateful to have found this lifestyle for health, for animals, and for the planet.
Thank You Dr. Greger! I use your Daily Dozen nutrition app every day. Your app and videos have improved my life. After numerous serious health problems, I can now walk 10 miles without a break, push mow my lawn, significantly reduced my chronic pain, have total control of my weight, and feel so much better.

I only turned half of my family vegan. My father wont listen. Sadly, he is the most ill of them all. I keep on trying, but my entire life he has been against vegetables (I wonder how has this affected what my mother cooked for us!) and wont change now in his old age.
I am so proud of the humanity, because there are some kind, clever and compassionate people like doctor Michael Greger.These people are working not just for money. God bless them!
Dr. Greger is so amazing! My husband and I switched to a whole food plant based diet a year and a half ago and have reversed/improved many health conditions. I am off my thyroid medication which I was told would never happen. The medical Dr's need to be educated about this from day one in medical school.
@@MrSmallANDLoud sorry for the late reply. My Dr. was concerned about me not eating meat and dairy and actually did not say much when my health improved in regards to diet. She said I was very healthy but didn't acknowledge it was due to my change in diet. A little upsetting but I hope she realizes the diet link as being valid.
Brilliant man who has the ability to bring research based knowledge to non medical audiences so that we can clearly understand. Thank you Dr. Gregor. You are doing your life’s work!
Michael Greger, M.D. sends out a free email daily with seriously objective, worthwhile health information. His informational video are fact based and entertaining to hear. Just like in this TED video, he shows you the evidence and there is usually a "put it to the test" portion, so he verifies his statements. I love Dr. Gregor. He is a health hero.
wonderful information! Thank you Dr. Greger! Everyone should see this. I am off blood pressure medication because of his nutritional advice to eat mostly vegetables!
Such a story and such an important message shared. Inspired by your story and entertained by your character, I started watching your amazing videos. Later I went on to change my diet to a plant-based diet and after just a couple of weeks, I clearly felt a change in my body, especially regarding my digestive system. Thank you for your amazing work Dr. Michael Greger.
I love this guy so much!! His videos and books have changed the way my family and I eat! I love that he gives us the facts, backed up by studies, in an easy-to-access format!
Honestly they don't know any better and their professors are telling them all about the latest amazing drug that will solve this or that disease. "If there was a better way to heal people, wouldn't they have taught me about it in med school?"
This guy is amazing. I’m so happy I no longer eat animal products. Now I have to work on processed foods because boy do I love them. However that’s exactly what I said about animal products a few years ago and I don’t miss them now so I’m looking forward to not missing processed foods.
Solid presentation on an important topic. Description on “the why?” as far as groupthink is insightful. Topic has been covered before on TED but extensive research and eloquent presentation make it welcome addition to the TED library.
Ever since i went vegan i feel more energized, happy, i dont get sick,my poop doesnt stink, i dont sweat so i dont need to take showers anymore and i grew 7 inches in height! Best decision of my life !
"NOTE FROM TED: Please do not look to this talk for medical advice. The speaker makes strong assertions about a specific diet that lack sufficient scientific evidence for general prescription." What?? Dr. Greger cites literally EVERY single medical study he gets his information from in his books and on his website. His talks couldn't be anymore scientfic.
1) there is lots of science that has come out since this video and there’s no way of knowing if some of the advice is the complete opposite of what better science suggests. 2) it’s easy to cherry pick from the science to arrive at whatever conclusion you want. Look up “material omission.” 3) there are plenty of “experts” in the medical and scientific communities who looked at the same body of research and have come to radically different conclusions. 4) people have different dietary sensitivities and are in various medications. There’s no one size fits all. For many people, a purely carnivore diet solves their major medical problems and lets them live healthy lives. Would be absurd for them to switch to plant based. Veganism is basically a religion anyway when you see how it’s discussed. Much of the research is done with mice and other animals.
My life totally and completely changed when I changed from a typical American diet to a Pesco Vegetarian diet. I am now changing to a 100% Vegan diet. On my Pesco Vegetarian diet, I ELIMINATED 3 medications...THREE. My weight and BMI is fantastic. I have chronic pain w/ortho and neuro causes, but, they are much better since I switched in 2013

Hi! I'm from Italy and I'm reading the subtitles in Italian. I found out there is an error... when the doctor says "plant based diet" the subtitles say "vegetariano" than means "vegetarian" but this is slightly incorrect, because we all now that a vegetarian diet is not a "plant based diet". So as not to mislead people and really help who don't understand english I would suggest to change "vegetariano" in to "dieta vegana" ("vegan diet") . Thanks for your cooperation.
His presentations via stage or video have got so much better, quicker and with more confidence have grown and become so much better. I've loved watching this man for a few years now. Such an inspiration and an oracle of nutrional information.
Thank you Dr McGregor for your scientific observations and encouragement to eat a healthy plant based diet so as to live long and healthy. Your delightful humor keeps your lectures exciting.
Dr Gregor also made me face my own biases and look at studies as I would do for my patients with a condition I was unfamiliar with. The result was that I had to admit I was wrong about my views on nutrition. Went more and more plant based and have been vegan for about 2 years. I'm now stronger and bigger than I ever was as an omnivore weight lifter. I wish I went vegan 20 years ago!
At 215 pounds (I was 140 pounds in high school) I had high blood pressure, arthritis, asthma, hay fever, diverticulitis, hemorrhoids, I had no energy and felt terrible. 6 months on McDougall diet now I'm 165 pounds and health issues are gone. Now I'm doing the Pritikin diet and feel years younger.
I never thought I'd see the day when cigarette smoking would take a back seat to anything as the leading cause of our demise. Love Drs. Greger and McDougall. Brilliant and ethical.
I believe the day will come when foods like Oreos, cakes, muffins, etc. will have to be labeled as “harmful to your health”. It took a long time for the cancer warning to end up on cigarette packaging.
@@MrSmallANDLoud Plus, he looks like corpse if you, his arms are thin like 10 years boys arms. And yet this corpse is talking about nutrition and how plant protein is enough.
Hopefully you'd qualify that statement by saying "WHOLE FOODS" plant based, and with daily adequate exercise. Highly refined plant foods kill. And insufficient exercise raises risk of 35 chronic diseases.
Food has always been medicine...love this site! I never pay attention to mainstream medicine I know better...thanks for putting this wonderfully valuable information to those who really care about their health..keep up the great work!!!
Great presentation as usual, very eye opening! I liked the comparison with the tobacco industry and smoking, the same is happening now with the "food" industries and nutrition! Thanks to doctors like you, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. Brooke Goldner, and many others, people are starting to wake up to the truth! As a future physician myself, I appreciate your work!
The “note from Ted” section in the description 😂😂😂 I’ve been plant based for about 5 years now. Bro, listen to this wonderful man (Greger) he knows what he is talking about.
My blood pressure was on the crazy side, my cholesterol was so high, kidney function was getting bad since 2014 in addition had fatty liver and others but when I changed my diet in two weeks things changed. As I went for my blood test, guess what? my doctor told me that my kidneys are now functioning better and my cholesterol level is reducing.I have been reading Doctor Michael Greger’s book how not to die and it was recommended to me by a specialist Doctor that I met in April 2022. Going plant based is a key factor to getting your health back. Dr Michael Greger, thanks for sharing your knowledge to the world. I am 59 years old.
Great information, great facts, great enthusiasm, great last line. The doctor is always very informational and pleasant anytime I listen to or see anything by him, I’m very grateful for his studies, for this life work of his as super happy that I found them on Instagram too which is a daily inspiration
The parallel with the tobacco industry and smoking in our society is brilliant, Dr. Gregor. I remember those times and the smoke-filled rooms, airplanes, waiting rooms, restaurants, doctors offices (!), and our own home where my father and mother both smoked. Jesus…
I love Dr.Greger's info, and also am trying to raise awareness of this facebook page for those not ready for strictly whole foods. Reversing disease / losing weight with sugar (facebook page) Copying Rob Adam's comment from another site, "Sugar doesn't rot your teeth. Plaque does. In the absence of plaque you could spend the whole day with a mouth full of sugar and not get tooth decay. If you are a grot, sugar will make a bad situation worse. Clean your teeth then eat what you want (Preferably a whole foods, plant-based)
I am Ugandan living in the US; I certainly do adhere to the average American Diet😁. Glad this Ted talk is an affirmation to continue eating whole plant based Foods!!!
I just love Dr. Greger!!! Thank you sooo very much for all the work you do to give us the important information to live a healthy life. I totally agree with the things you advocate. You really are amazing!!....and fun to listen to! :)
In the 1950’s, my best friend’s dad, a medical doctor, quit smoking as soon as the first warning came out. He read the medical research, and quit right away.
Great presentation by a great presentator? You know what I mean, right? I have also checked out your web site doc and will be looking at it more in the future. Seems like plant based no smoking life style is the way to go to recover from bad choices. Thanks doc. Kev
Did I read this right "NOTE FROM TED ... The speaker makes strong assertions about a specific diet that lack sufficient scientific evidence for general prescription. " Under what rock are the promoters living?
"I don't mind dying. I just don't want it to be my own fault". Wow. What a great statement!
From what he preaches, it will be his own fault.
What does he preach?@@toni4729
I can sleep easier at night knowing Dr Greger is out there.
Lewis Wright why?
james pong yes why?
He is simply brilliant !! I'm so glad I found him and his research is invaluable.
Funniest comment ever. I totally agree :D
I sleep better as well knowing he is out there and not in here.
After watching this video 1 year ago I went overnight plant-based. Have not been sick since then! I am so happy Dr. Greger exists.
Well done😀!!

He saw patients. But nah you didn’t bother researching,
@@MrSmallANDLoud Plus, he looks like corpse if you, his arms are thin like 10 years boys arms. And yet this corpse is talking about nutrition and how plant protein is enough.
Jevhenij Horvat LOL I forgot, doctors needs to be obese and have rockin dad bods
Plant-based since 2014 and I haven’t had to see a doctor for any cold/flu since that time! Used to get sooo sick (quarterly) that warranted visits!
Hopefully you'd qualify that statement by saying "WHOLE FOODS" plant based, and with daily adequate exercise. Highly refined plant foods kill. And insufficient exercise raises risk of 35 chronic diseases.
Oh my God! Thank you so much for putting this out out ❤❤❤❤. Dairy industry don’t want you to stop
It's wisdom like this that inspires me to keep going with my goal to be a nutritionist
Food has always been medicine...love this site! I never pay attention to mainstream medicine I know better...thanks for putting this wonderfully valuable information to those who really care about their health..keep up the great work!!!
Great presentation as usual, very eye opening! I liked the comparison with the tobacco industry and smoking, the same is happening now with the "food" industries and nutrition! Thanks to doctors like you, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. Brooke Goldner, and many others, people are starting to wake up to the truth! As a future physician myself, I appreciate your work!
Facts
I love this… the information provided is excellent. Dr. Mcgregor delivers it beautifully with facts and his humor.
The “note from Ted” section in the description 😂😂😂 I’ve been plant based for about 5 years now. Bro, listen to this wonderful man (Greger) he knows what he is talking about.
My blood pressure was on the crazy side, my cholesterol was so high, kidney function was getting bad since 2014 in addition had fatty liver and others but when I changed my diet in two weeks things changed. As I went for my blood test, guess what? my doctor told me that my kidneys are now functioning better and my cholesterol level is reducing.I have been reading Doctor Michael Greger’s book how not to die and it was recommended to me by a specialist Doctor that I met in April 2022. Going plant based is a key factor to getting your health back. Dr Michael Greger, thanks for sharing your knowledge to the world. I am 59 years old.
This man should get the Nobel Peace Prize. Health= Peace
no
No
His advises have harmed many people.
Great information, great facts, great enthusiasm, great last line. The doctor is always very informational and pleasant anytime I listen to or see anything by him, I’m very grateful for his studies, for this life work of his as super happy that I found them on Instagram too which is a daily inspiration
Brilliant! Thank you.
Your welcome
Excellent presentation - Dr Greger makes a serious topic both enjoyable and educational
The parallel with the tobacco industry and smoking in our society is brilliant, Dr. Gregor. I remember those times and the smoke-filled rooms, airplanes, waiting rooms, restaurants, doctors offices (!), and our own home where my father and mother both smoked. Jesus…
I love Dr.Greger's info, and also am trying to raise awareness of this facebook page for those not ready for strictly whole foods.
Reversing disease / losing weight with sugar (facebook page)
Copying Rob Adam's comment from another site, "Sugar doesn't rot your teeth. Plaque does. In the absence of plaque you could spend the whole day with a mouth full of sugar and not get tooth decay. If you are a grot, sugar will make a bad situation worse. Clean your teeth then eat what you want (Preferably a whole foods, plant-based)
No. You can’t brush your arteries after every dangerous “food”.
Dr. G here was my inspiration to change-4 years ago and there's just NO going back.
Incredible talk Dr Greger!!
Thank you for being Dr. Gregor.
I love this guy.Quirky and brilliant.🙏👍😘❤️🕊🇨🇦
Thanks to advice from Dr Greger, my blood pressure is optimal, without meds, after 20 years of hypertension My cholesterol is also normal again.
I am Ugandan living in the US; I certainly do adhere to the average American Diet😁. Glad this Ted talk is an affirmation to continue eating whole plant based Foods!!!
Thank you Dr Greger - listen up folks!
His diet is already interfering with his brain and you're listening to that?
Wow... The speech was so overwhelming and brilliant. THANK YOU!
I just love Dr. Greger!!! Thank you sooo very much for all the work you do to give us the important information to live a healthy life. I totally agree with the things you advocate. You really are amazing!!....and fun to listen to! :)
In the 1950’s, my best friend’s dad, a medical doctor, quit smoking as soon as the first warning came out. He read the medical research, and quit right away.
Amazing this never gets out into the main stream media.....should be the headlines daily.
You are the best ! :) Thank you for your commitment and hard work ! ❤️
What an excellent video! Thanks to all the organizers!!
Great presentation by a great presentator? You know what I mean, right? I have also checked out your web site doc and will be looking at it more in the future. Seems like plant based no smoking life style is the way to go to recover from bad choices. Thanks doc. Kev
Thank you Dr. Greger!
Dr. Greger's How Not To Die is the BEST health book EVER. Thank you.
I love listening to Dr. Gregor! He's so intelligent, yet so humorous.
Did I read this right "NOTE FROM TED ... The speaker makes strong assertions about a specific diet that lack sufficient scientific evidence for general prescription. " Under what rock are the promoters living?
That's funny. He has the letters "M.D." after his name. So, why wouldn't I take medical advice from an actual doctor?
For some money under the table,the story line changes. ALWAYS. But Truth has a way of shining through. Like that truth about a plant - based diet.
I saw that too... and I was like wt..... all of his work is based on ACTUAL PUBLISHED REVIEWED SCIENCE PAPERS. PLUS, Doctor Greger is a MD...
@@80sWavrDude because he obviously looks not very healthy
The same disclaimer was listed for a great, no excellent, talk by Dr. Michael Klaper.
Love this guy. So clever and his sarcasm cracks me up every time. ☺😊😂🤣
love this guy already
