My brother Jayson is a devout follower of Michael Gregor. Ever since he was 12 he has started growing lots of plants and only eating vegetables. Tonight he came into my room and harassed me into watching this whole lecture. I've always believed Michael Gregor, but never felt the need to watch him. Because the rules are quite simple. I appreciate this video lecture very much. Michael Gregor has changed my already healthy brothers life. He's 14 now and teaching farming and dietary plans to others. With love, Joey.
Man Dr. Greger not only gives great information, but he's one of the most entertaining speakers around. He has the audience in the palm of his hand! I just love this video.
@@aliendroneservices6621 So, the studies and experiments he quotes are accurate! I don't understand how electricity works but I'm not going to live in cold and darkness when I can turn on a switch and have heat and light.

When I started watching this video, I thought I'd only watch a few minutes and click off as I always do with long videos... But um, where did the time go?! I ended up finishing the video, longing for more. Dr Greger is just incredible - the way he presents, his humor, his presence, his refreshing information, etc. This has deeply inspired me to go vegan again.
+GiuRang Cynthia Moon ...yes, I certainly hope you do decide to go vegan again ...or let's say as close to vegan as you can - less than 100% is still a very positive thing. I have long been attached to Dr Greger's sane and rational approach to such an important topic ...the good thing is that this is just his 2012 lecture, and there are 3 more recent ones to watch (linked at the end of his videos), and countless other more focused videos in his channel. The best thing we can do with the work he so selflessly does every year is to *apply it* and *promote it*. I'm absolutely certain he wouldn't mind us plagiarizing in the effort to spread the knowledge :)
+GiuRang Cynthia Moon exactly! i have this video in "watch later" for 2 months and i was like i should watch it but nooo, today i watched it and i was amazed. exactly like you said-his humor, his refreshing information, everything! everyone should watch this!
I made the change when I was 53 years old, so I don't think it's ever too late. A plant-based diet has also cured arthritis in my knees and spine, and has controlled my diverticulosis. It's truly a miracle what this has done for me. I may not look it but I feel twenty years younger.
This presentation was the final trigger for met to go vegan 2 months ago. Now a whole new world of good health, compassion for animals and environmental awareness has been opened up for me. Thank you Dr. Greger for this life-changing work!
How awesome for you! I had (and still do, to a lesser extent) issues with inflammation and pain, and was looking for help. Walking by a display in the book store, I saw How Not To Die Cookbook. It made me stop, laugh, pick it up and buy it after a look inside. That was my first step! I’ve never looked back. I hope your journey is successful and life-changing/ improving❤.
I lost nearly 20 lbs in six weeks (without any other lifestyle changes), when I cut the dairy and became vegan. My skin became brighter, I started sleeping better, I wasn't as foggy all the time, and was suddenly able to breathe through my nose. I later found out I'm lactose intolerant and allergic to casein (as many people are). I'd basically been poisoning myself my entire life, and didn't know it.
A brilliant presentation. A perfect combination of wit and wisdom! It took 50 years to get people off tobacco, it could take just as long to get this message across! Meanwhile decide for yourself, is your diet ready for review?
But people are all to aware of the consequences of smoking nowadays. There is no escaping the fact, it's written over every single packet available to consumers. The same cannot be said for meat and dairy. There is little awareness. Hell, I have only learnt all of this in the last week and the more lectures I listen to, the more horrified I am for the diet I've been feeding my kids. I have adopted a completely different diet for us now. No way am I going to contribute to the decline of my children's longterm health

What amazes me is that people still doubt the benefits of a vegan diet. Even a doctor I met the other day was giving the big 'un about B12 and how it *HAS* to be *_injected_* periodically and a whole load of other "deficiencies" I'll have because of a vegan diet. Then there's that ridiculous "where do you get your protein from." Why are people so obsessed with protein as if it's the most important nutrient to consume and is only available from dead animals!!! I hate to don my tinfoil hat, but I think it's a conspiracy. All the evidence shows animal products are dangerous but yet our governments (definitely here in the UK) are siding with "drink lots of milk and only eat lean meat. It completely ignores the health issues and ethical issues resulting from the amount of resources that go into producing a tiny amount of animal products. Ex:- Solar power is not in widespread use because what you get back is not enough to justify the resources (although with more usage, it would increase our renewable energy and get cheaper and become more efficient because of more investment) but animal products.... Government only care if it doesn't effect their personal investments and party donors. Meat, tobacco, alcohol and weapons (especially guns in the us) pay too much money for any government to change policy.
+mpBomil Many foods are fortified with B12. The soya milk I use and the cereal I eat has it fortified. On top of that, I take a supplement just to be on the safe side. I had a blood test not too long ago and there was no deficiency. Personally, I think B12 is somewhere in nature but we just haven't found it yet. But on the whole, I don't think I could ever go back to eating meat. I feel better and healthier than I've ever felt. The thought of eating an animal is kind of disgusting now.
+Yoda on DMT You just answered your own problem. You don't know where the B12 is. You take supplements which is not natural. B12 is found naturally in meat which if it's grass-fed is extremely healthy. If you don't get B12 you get nerve damage and/or you can die. Unfortunately animal products (that come from healthy animals) are healthy. If you want to be vegan fine, that's good that you don't eat dead animals (even though agriculture kills millions of animals and eradicates entire species, not to mention destroy environmental topsoil) BUT don't kid that yourself that an omnivorous isn't healthy because it is.
+LiquidRush I don't need to take a B12 supplement, I just take a multivitamin every day to be safe. I also take additional vitamin D because dark skinned people in temperate climates suffer with deficiency regardless of diet. Is that unnatural to do as well? And it's well known that if we stopped eating animals, we could easily feed the world since most of what we grow and our water go to feeding cattle. Ultimately, if you want to eat animals because of one potential benefit, you can. But don't be fooled into thinking you're healthier than the average vegan. The stats are there in this video... and anecdotally in comparisons between vegans and meat eaters of the same age. I pass for someone half my age and look younger than my entire circle of friends.
I just shared this to my family's whatsapp group (we have alzheimer's, fibroids, diabetes, parkinson's, hypertension in our family) and my aunt says we should pray so God can protect us from diseases and ailments -____-
Because "where do you get your protein from?!?!" i.e. population is completely brainwashed. Current generation will die of cancer, heart diseases, but looking at the trends, plant based diet is getting increasingly popular among younger open minded population.
My Total Chol *IS* 150 ...we just had a health screening last month at work...and my HDL is 100...the technician was astounded...she said mine was the highest she'd seen in some days...! Thanks, Dr. Greger! Your videos keep me going and thriving at 56, no meds, no pain or aches...feelin' GROOVY every morning!
11:54 "If these recommendations were adhered to, cancer incidents may be reduced, but farmers and the meat industry would suffer important economical problems." Sums it up really. So the health of patients, and the suffering of animals isn't as important as paid executioners losing money. Even the healthcare industry is corrupt.
Animal agriculture is more corrupt than anything because who they give to people to eat is gravely dangerous to eat long-term. Meat, milk, and egg companies manipulate and lie to billions of people by claiming it's "healthy" and even necessary for our health. Which by the looks of this video proves that to be profoundly the opposite.
Watching this video from beginning to end, has just increased my recent desire to go totally animal product free in my diet. I’m 60 years old, Tennessee, and I know that it won’t be easy, but I’m determined to do it. The facts are there. I got interested in this because of the miserable existence of factory animals, and now have another reason to try to transition and adopt it completely: my life.
Hi Doc. Four years ago my wife became vegetarian. Her liver was failing. Bile production was nonexistent. After starting a vegetarian diet, the bile came back within 48 hours. I thought it was pretty cool, to say the least. In support of her decision, which was 'cold turkey,' (pardon the expression) I decided to stop eating hamburgers. I weighed 180 pounds. Three months after that I weighed around 160. I did nothing else to modify my diet, and I have kept the weight off for four years. Not only have I lost weight, but I feel so much better. I finally know what it's like to not be hungry 24 hours a day. We eat vegan when we eat at home. I still eat some meat when we eat out. But I like it less and less. I do not have a religious obsesssion with veganism like some people. But I can tell you that the more vegan meals I eat, the better I feel.
Since my wife who has MS started with a Vegan diet, she doesn’t heed medicine. Needs no medicin and her brainscan showed positive results: less active inflammations! Before she needed a rollator to walk. Now she walks without, and we go biking together....we started Vegan, december 2017! Everybody must choose their own diet, I know what I see everyday now....
@keecefly stop being so selfish - we don't need to eat animals, it's incredibly cruel and nothing can justify putting an animal through a lifetime of torture and misery only to suffer a most painful and agonising death. Plus meat isn't even good for us, it's been linked to heart disease, type-2 diabetes, cancer, strokes etc. Basically just do your research before you come out with stupid shit like that
@keecefly we can and should live on a plant-based diet we don't have to kill animals in order to survive. And yes I do have other things to do but I've decided to spent time researching about this because it is such an important issue and ppl need to start changing the way they live.
Hilarious, eye opening, and potentially life changing. One of the best videos I've ever run across, and unlike quite a lot of other "advice" I've seen on the web, shows the actual source material so you can verify it for yourself. Watch this with a loved one!
I went veggie last year.,..in just one week, i felt marvelous. Now, affter watching this, i think i need to go vegan. I am going to try it....oh and you forgot to mention something...veganism cures the leading cause of animal deaths as well. Big smile. Thanks for posting.
+Sam Egginton Yes! When my husband and I were going through the detox, we could find very little information about it. It can be nerve wracking if you don't know what is going on because it can make you question what you are doing. Thankfully, we pushed through it and it only lasted for a few weeks. Once you push through that, it's smooth sailing! :-) I feel way better than before and my husband and I have lost over 90 pounds between the two of us! Going vegan was the best thing we have ever done! I just wish there was more information out there about the initial detox from animal products. I am NEVER tempted to cheat on a vegan diet, for several reasons, but one big one being that I don't want to ever have to go through that again! Lol!!!
@@dancindavey1515 Dude. Let me break it down for you in real simple terms: The original comment said that veganism is for beauty obsessed people and people who are must watch this video. I pointed out that the person in this video looks terrible. His body looks malnourished as if he is 12 year old girl, and to add to that he is just 47 but looks 60+. This apprantly is counterproductive to anyone who is beauty obessed. That was the point of my comment. It does not matter what you majored in, veganism is malnourishment. No matter how you look at it. It is a religion putting animals and their life above our own. We are predators and we need animal protein and fat to maintain optimal health. Simple as that. No wonder we are at the top of the foodchain. It is NATURE. Try to fight it and you will see what happens - disease.
Amaaaaaaazzzzziiiiiinnnnnggggggg I have just recently became vegan and have impacted change on so many family and friends who are making huge steps in that direction. Thank You for saving my life!!!
It's so great to watch this 30 days after quitting meat/dairy/eggs cold turkey (haha, pun). My blood pressure dropped from 140/80 to 117/75 in that time and all of this information reinforces my choice even more. Feeling healthier and happier than ever, always full on fruit and veg.
WOW! I thought my diet and lifestyle was pretty healthy, after years of continually optimising my diet from voraciously reading studies. But I learnt more just from watching this 1-hour video than the past few years combined, because it made me consider things I would have never even begun to think about. Keep up the good work Dr Greger!
Father-n-laws uncle had many heart attacks and treatments. Each time they told him to eat LESS MEAT. He never changed his diet. Finally he got so bad he couldn’t walk to the mail without getting out of breathe. Again he went to the doctor for another treatment. Nope, the doctor says he can’t do anything for him. He became a vegan and within a few weeks could walk to the mail and even mow his grass. Within a few months he could go back to his regular life. He lived another 5 years.
That's about the same story as Dr. Greger's G-ma. She lived even longer after they gave up on her, but they never told her to cut back on meat. They just told her they didn't know what else to do.
Absolutely love the style of your presentation! I mainly eat plant-based, but I think I'm slowly heading toward all out plant-based the more I research and learn
He's got a plethora of other awesome videos...mostly not as long as this one...another good film to watch is "Forks Over Knives"--available at most libraries AND on Netflix, I believe.
Actually it's a lifestyle of needing to label yourself in order to get attention and feel good without doing a damn thing to change anything. There are lots of people with more compassion that actually do something for the well-being of animals without the need of being a vegan and telling everyone to convert to their cult.-
+Katie Pecotich Works damn skippy for ME and I'm 58...at my high school weight , bp this morning was 119/60 when I donated blood. I feel fabulous...SO much energy!
good on you!!! I'm 34, and I feel 18 again, except so much happier than 18 because I am never hungry!!! i dont feel guilt when eating and that endless cycle of ''portion control'' and ''bloating'' etc. it really is the best thing since sliced bread xo
it's almost impossible for everyone to live on the same diet though, even a diet that would be most optimal for humans. the main reason is that people are simple different from each other. the other reason is people living in different climates and locations. the good thing about being human is that our body does its best to adapt to any diet (or lifestyle) we are on.
I recently switched back from veganism to just vegetarianism (about two months ago). I've missed being vegan and have been considering going back to it. Safe to say that this video has totally changed my mind again and I'm definitely going back to the vegan lifestyle. I can't even remember why I stopped!
This film clip, out for over a decade, is as fresh as the first time I saw it. I am as devoted to Dr. Greger as many young women are to Taylor Swift. Though I haven't learned all of his prounouncements by rote, I've taken them all to heart. I appreciate nutritional science. Indeed, when I read "The China Study" in 2005 I went plant based. In the years since I haven't had one sick day, even throughout COVID-19, not so much as a cold. I set out to avoid the cancers that had afflicted both my dear parents, one of whom died of it. Yet when my arthritis pain vanished and I stopped losing teeth to periodontal disease, after losing 8 teeth, it was like icing on the cake. I treated myself for both these untreatable conditions with an all plant based diet. My labs are normal, BP just fine. I have no diagnosed illnesses and, at 81 years of age, I require no prescription drugs. Nevermind that I smoked for 50 years, and for a time was a raging alcoholic. All my drinking buddies have preceded me. It's not just our genetics or our bad habits, it's the food we eat that makes the difference.
Dr. Greger fucking rules. What an awesome human being. More praise to you Thanks for everything you do, Mister Greger. Your work is of vital importance.
Compelling. Connections between what you put in your mouth and disease. Love the work this guy does - presenting scientific studies, the context and the results. Very grateful he does this work.
Thank you very much Dr Michael Greger. You are a role model and somebody to respect. Sharing your knowledge is appreciated and god given. You and your team should feel proud and happy to be helping us. Best wishes Jason from Melbourne Victoria. I have watched this video at least 15 times start to finish. You all should be proud. Thank you very much.
There is French subtitle. From the lower right corner, there is a cogwheel, you click it and a list shows up, the forth item in the list is subtitles, click and ther are many languages, one of them is French! Good luck
The only problem is dear, is that every single human as a carnivore and should not be eating plants. Do a little research and look up a video by "Barry Groves, homo carnivorus, what we are designed to eat" and start informing yourself and break out of your brainwash. No human is made to eat plants. This video you commented on is a guy paid to spread false info like all vegan propaganda. Veganism is a lie.
Arzaniel Kerpatray bruh ur the one brainwashed 🤣🤣 gtfo “no human is made to eat plants” UHUH. Think about even the most basic genetic evolutionary coding we have... our teeth, our molars... do we have sharp piercing canines like a lion? I don’t think so. Humans are built to eat plants... literally anyone in the history or the universe can tell you that smh.
@@sumsum002 My friend your out of touch, disconnected from the way things work here in this physical realm. Everything here kills or waits until something dies to eat it. Everything and your no different. You are in a food chain where many things want to eat you also. Our gut is designed CARNIVORE not otherwise. The fact that we can survive amazingly, thrive very healthy, gain muscle, have super STRENGTH 💪, extreme endurance, extreme peace, be calm, and have perfect health and healing from the destructiveness of eating plants is the result of eating animals. I rarely ever eat a plant other then blackberries or a raw root like a potatoe. Other plants are used for their poisons for various uses. I've tried every single so-call diet there is and second to the last was veganism. Total lies that we are plants eaters. If you did an experiment by eating only beef and chicken or whatever with lots of fat from the animal or butter and see how you feel in a month or two You'd be amazed at how GOOD you feel. There's nothing better and health is never better. I'll say this, if you have never gone 100% carnivore then YOU DO NOT KNOW what feeling good, great, and fantastic, is even about. That is guaranteed. Or teeth are made for meat. Our mind is our weapon not teeth. We have no need for lion, wolf, cat style teeth because we don't kill much of anything with the type mouth we have and it's way not big enough for that. Our physical design is a higher ranking one with our consciousness thinking far superior to conquer and kill anything....ANYTHING. If you'd like to start broadening your mind watch, "Barry Groves, homo carnivoras, what we are designed to eat." This will introduce you to a few things you may not be aware of. 😉
Arzaniel Kerpatray I’m sure the planet would cope well if humans all decided to eat only meat 🙃 stupid, impractical message. The studies on a plant based diet are clear I’m not sure what evidence you think you have to the contrary
@@sarahelizabeth2359 I used to be brainwashed as you are until I spent fine in the desolate woods and wondered about all the people's, Indians, travelers, etc that lived without supermarket gmo plants. Studied the whole deal and found that today's science about plants being good for humans is bogus and an agenda the rulers impliment thru corporations, media, schools, and false science reports. Humans are carnivore to the bone just as a wolf, lion, any Carnvore. Once I went full carnivore all health issues vanished and restoration success! Plants are the worst thing for any carnivore to eat. Dogs and car even get our diseases because they mix plants in their food also! You need to research a little deeper then the propagandized things you read, they are false science reports and they're paid to write them! Try putting yourself through one little video and inform yourself it's called, "Barry Groves, homo carnivorus, what we are designed to eat." Let this video be a star on your journey to find the real facts about the human being design and obligate good we are made to eat. We have carnivore guts...NOT plant eaters!
There is French subtitle. From the lower right corner, there is a cogwheel, you click it and a list shows up, the forth item in the list is subtitles, click and ther are many languages, one of them is French! Good luck
Not exactly karma, but rather we are "designed" to be herbivores, with little to no evidence saying otherwise...the only reason people believe we are omnivores is that we think all these diseases he mentions in the video are COMMON for humans, despite not occuring in any other species of monkeys, and therefore accept this as though we can eat animal products. No one ever looks up these kinds of things, because people around us who has not looked up the real facts say something like "Oh we are omnivores, right?" which they are unsure about until someone claims they are not. Omnivorism and diseases...One causes the other, and the industry benefits greatly.
That's because GMO started in 1994 with a tomato. From the beginning of time until the possibly introduction into factories (the first factory in 1790 used 9+ children pushing foot treadles) the food was more nutritious and not as heavy on the chemicals, antibiotics etc.
I hear yah on that! Vegan for 4 years... it is a constant work in progress... also the programming I have had as an athlete, competitor, PT and a hard-core gym rat, carnivore... not eating like a blood type A at all. This is a great post thankyou
It's sad about the amount of research out there yet it's still being kept in the dark because of the power of the animal agriculture industries. People are constantly bombarded with meat and dairy promotional advertisements, TV commercials and even the systems we depend on telling us to continue eating meat and dairy.I am going to university and studying nutrition and yet my teacher is providing misleading and contradicting information to the class of future dieticians. You want to know why many health industry "experts" are part of this whole process of information corruption because like at my school all of these students going on to work in the health industry are being told to have 3 glasses of dairy a day, eat red meat for iron and protein. My school is SPONSORED by the dairy industry and when you open your eyes and become aware of that you will than see how specifically centred the class is in promoting dairy, it's ALL about MONEY!open your eyes people and do your OWN RESEARCH!
This video is amazing! Thank you so much for putting all this information out there, I've sent it to so many friends trying to get them to see the benefits of the vegan way :) It's really nice to have something to present that is so well informed. Keep on doing amazing work! Xoxo
Thank you for this!!! Incredible work. You really get so thorough and the credible information is given to people who would otherwise be treated with (for profit) pharmaceuticals when their situations snowball into eventual illness. This is something I see in my daily life and now instead of saying - Hey local farmer, Rob [who is losing his foot and whose arteries are clogging because he eats scary amounts of pizza and steak and who is trying to fix it with the ketogenic diet he saw on "The RUclips" and did NOT ask a doctor about it] maybe you should eat vegetables and cut down on all that steak 👺, I can say - Oh hey Rob, here is a book that mentions research about your condition on this page I [not] coincidentally labeled! Evidence based information is so important. I appreciate that you provide that for people so much. Really. It's inspiring and, I believe it is also inspiring enough that the good deed alone will likely breed other good deeds. Thank you Dr. Greger.

I reversed extremely high blood pressure by adopting a vegan diet, and no longer take any medications.
Yesssssssss! Be the change!
+liversinthefridge I just realized how ironic my username is considering my veganism.
All I can do is pray my mom would adopt this lifestyle. She's on insulin, 300lbs, and always fetal pain. I hoot to be an example.
I made the change when I was 53 years old, so I don't think it's ever too late. A plant-based diet has also cured arthritis in my knees and spine, and has controlled my diverticulosis. It's truly a miracle what this has done for me. I may not look it but I feel twenty years younger.
My only regret is not starting sooner!
This presentation was the final trigger for met to go vegan 2 months ago. Now a whole new world of good health, compassion for animals and environmental awareness has been opened up for me. Thank you Dr. Greger for this life-changing work!
How awesome for you! I had (and still do, to a lesser extent) issues with inflammation and pain, and was looking for help.
Walking by a display in the book store, I saw How Not To Die Cookbook. It made me stop, laugh, pick it up and buy it after a look inside. That was my first step! I’ve never looked back.
I hope your journey is successful and life-changing/ improving❤.
See you in a few yers when you die of malnutrition
give us an update when you can
Dr Greger, the superstar of nutrition science!
He *IS* my superstar...I've had the pleasure of meeting him in person! He is a warm and gracious man! Love him!
This is a seriously under-viewed talk that needs to be seen by everyone!
I lost nearly 20 lbs in six weeks (without any other lifestyle changes), when I cut the dairy and became vegan. My skin became brighter, I started sleeping better, I wasn't as foggy all the time, and was suddenly able to breathe through my nose. I later found out I'm lactose intolerant and allergic to casein (as many people are). I'd basically been poisoning myself my entire life, and didn't know it.
So happy for your improved health ! KEEP going!
thats real awesome to know. real happy for you :)
A brilliant presentation. A perfect combination of wit and wisdom!
It took 50 years to get people off tobacco, it could take just as long to get this message across! Meanwhile decide for yourself, is your diet ready for review?
People still smoke...
But people are all to aware of the consequences of smoking nowadays. There is no escaping the fact, it's written over every single packet available to consumers. The same cannot be said for meat and dairy. There is little awareness. Hell, I have only learnt all of this in the last week and the more lectures I listen to, the more horrified I am for the diet I've been feeding my kids. I have adopted a completely different diet for us now. No way am I going to contribute to the decline of my children's longterm health

Great Experience I had with u DOCTOR ORAL RUclips channel after using his herbal product & get cured from herpes Virus totally. Thanks so much DOCTOR ORAL RUclips channel
What amazes me is that people still doubt the benefits of a vegan diet. Even a doctor I met the other day was giving the big 'un about B12 and how it *HAS* to be *_injected_* periodically and a whole load of other "deficiencies" I'll have because of a vegan diet.
Then there's that ridiculous "where do you get your protein from." Why are people so obsessed with protein as if it's the most important nutrient to consume and is only available from dead animals!!!
I hate to don my tinfoil hat, but I think it's a conspiracy. All the evidence shows animal products are dangerous but yet our governments (definitely here in the UK) are siding with "drink lots of milk and only eat lean meat. It completely ignores the health issues and ethical issues resulting from the amount of resources that go into producing a tiny amount of animal products.
Ex:- Solar power is not in widespread use because what you get back is not enough to justify the resources (although with more usage, it would increase our renewable energy and get cheaper and become more efficient because of more investment) but animal products....
Government only care if it doesn't effect their personal investments and party donors. Meat, tobacco, alcohol and weapons (especially guns in the us) pay too much money for any government to change policy.
***** Through fortified foods (same place people get quite a few vitamins and minerals) and the occasional supplement.
+Yoda on DMT Serious question, where DO you get b12 from? I thought taking it orally is NOT effective, it HAS to be injected?
+mpBomil Many foods are fortified with B12. The soya milk I use and the cereal I eat has it fortified.
On top of that, I take a supplement just to be on the safe side.
I had a blood test not too long ago and there was no deficiency.
Personally, I think B12 is somewhere in nature but we just haven't found it yet.
But on the whole, I don't think I could ever go back to eating meat. I feel better and healthier than I've ever felt. The thought of eating an animal is kind of disgusting now.
+Yoda on DMT You just answered your own problem. You don't know where the B12 is. You take supplements which is not natural. B12 is found naturally in meat which if it's grass-fed is extremely healthy. If you don't get B12 you get nerve damage and/or you can die.
Unfortunately animal products (that come from healthy animals) are healthy. If you want to be vegan fine, that's good that you don't eat dead animals (even though agriculture kills millions of animals and eradicates entire species, not to mention destroy environmental topsoil) BUT don't kid that yourself that an omnivorous isn't healthy because it is.
+LiquidRush I don't need to take a B12 supplement, I just take a multivitamin every day to be safe.
I also take additional vitamin D because dark skinned people in temperate climates suffer with deficiency regardless of diet. Is that unnatural to do as well?
And it's well known that if we stopped eating animals, we could easily feed the world since most of what we grow and our water go to feeding cattle.
Ultimately, if you want to eat animals because of one potential benefit, you can. But don't be fooled into thinking you're healthier than the average vegan.
The stats are there in this video... and anecdotally in comparisons between vegans and meat eaters of the same age. I pass for someone half my age and look younger than my entire circle of friends.
Who is this legend. He’s not just a normal doctor but actually someone who did some real research

You know what's sad? Even this won't convert some people. 🙁
I just shared this to my family's whatsapp group (we have alzheimer's, fibroids, diabetes, parkinson's, hypertension in our family) and my aunt says we should pray so God can protect us from diseases and ailments -____-
+Ashley Grey exactly! It's so sad.
+Samantha Retner I don't even know what to do anymore.
yeah .. , denial has been around for centuries. but that is OK because science is here and ignorance bliss is getting less and less of an excuse.
+Ashley Grey ::: Justify your eating habits, by saying "I got to die from something after all".... lol
All these health reasons, combined with the ethical, environmental, and world hunger reasons, who wouldn't want to go vegan?
^^thank you^^ and I've also noted that whatever foods are great for our hearts are ALSO great for our colon, kidneys, brain, liver, etc!
I'm still trying to find a valid reason not to be vegan, just seems like a lost cause.
Because "where do you get your protein from?!?!" i.e. population is completely brainwashed. Current generation will die of cancer, heart diseases, but looking at the trends, plant based diet is getting increasingly popular among younger open minded population.
EcoRunner I thought that his other video showed that vegans had the same mortality.
because people are selfish cunts.
What a legend!

A formidable force.
ONE of the FEW remaining REAL doctors of this rotten world, one that is still consciously doing his job, to prevent and treat human diseases.
Yes!!!
My Total Chol *IS* 150 ...we just had a health screening last month at work...and my HDL is 100...the technician was astounded...she said mine was the highest she'd seen in some days...! Thanks, Dr. Greger! Your videos keep me going and thriving at 56, no meds, no pain or aches...feelin' GROOVY every morning!
11:54 "If these recommendations were adhered to, cancer incidents may be reduced, but farmers and the meat industry would suffer important economical problems."
Sums it up really. So the health of patients, and the suffering of animals isn't as important as paid executioners losing money. Even the healthcare industry is corrupt.
Animal agriculture is more corrupt than anything because who they give to people to eat is gravely dangerous to eat long-term. Meat, milk, and egg companies manipulate and lie to billions of people by claiming it's "healthy" and even necessary for our health. Which by the looks of this video proves that to be profoundly the opposite.
This video helped me on my vegan journey! If you want answers, here they are, he is also absolutely hysterical with his sense of humor :)
Watching this video from beginning to end, has just increased my recent desire to go totally animal product free in my diet. I’m 60 years old, Tennessee, and I know that it won’t be easy, but I’m determined to do it. The facts are there. I got interested in this because of the miserable existence of factory animals, and now have another reason to try to transition and adopt it completely: my life.
This is mind-blowing! I am vegan for over 1 year and this is one of the best decisions I have ever made! Thank goodness this Doctor exist 😁
This is how all lectures are meant to be presented. Thank you.
Dr. Greger, you are my hero!
Hi Doc. Four years ago my wife became vegetarian. Her liver was failing. Bile production was nonexistent. After starting a vegetarian diet, the bile came back within 48 hours.
I thought it was pretty cool, to say the least. In support of her decision, which was 'cold turkey,' (pardon the expression) I decided to stop eating hamburgers.
I weighed 180 pounds. Three months after that I weighed around 160. I did nothing else to modify my diet, and I have kept the weight off for four years.
Not only have I lost weight, but I feel so much better. I finally know what it's like to not be hungry 24 hours a day.
We eat vegan when we eat at home. I still eat some meat when we eat out. But I like it less and less.
I do not have a religious obsesssion with veganism like some people. But I can tell you that the more vegan meals I eat, the better I feel.
shhhhh. people don't want to know that a veg/vegan diet can cure disease. they don't believe it and they don't want to know. shhhh.
I'm glad one of the best (if not THE best) NutritionFacts videos got a new thumbnail. It looks great!
The BEST doctor in the world is Dr Michael Greger!
If everyone took Dr. Greger's advice, healthcare costs would be lower. I hope he makes videos like this every year.
veganism changed my life ♥
Lichtblick same 💖
Since my wife who has MS started with a Vegan diet, she doesn’t heed medicine. Needs no medicin and her brainscan showed positive results: less active inflammations! Before she needed a rollator to walk. Now she walks without, and we go biking together....we started Vegan, december 2017! Everybody must choose their own diet, I know what I see everyday now....
@keecefly are you saying that you value your taste buds higher than the life of an animal?
@keecefly stop being so selfish - we don't need to eat animals, it's incredibly cruel and nothing can justify putting an animal through a lifetime of torture and misery only to suffer a most painful and agonising death. Plus meat isn't even good for us, it's been linked to heart disease, type-2 diabetes, cancer, strokes etc. Basically just do your research before you come out with stupid shit like that
@keecefly we can and should live on a plant-based diet we don't have to kill animals in order to survive. And yes I do have other things to do but I've decided to spent time researching about this because it is such an important issue and ppl need to start changing the way they live.
Everyone should watch this!
Yep
This is an amazing talk. I highly recommend it to anyone who is seriously interested in living a healthier life.
Hilarious, eye opening, and potentially life changing.
One of the best videos I've ever run across, and unlike quite a lot of other "advice" I've seen on the web, shows the actual source material so you can verify it for yourself.
Watch this with a loved one!
I went veggie last year.,..in just one week, i felt marvelous. Now, affter watching this, i think i need to go vegan. I am going to try it....oh and you forgot to mention something...veganism cures the leading cause of animal deaths as well. Big smile. Thanks for posting.
+Karen Voncripps That's great to hear! Keep it up and keep educating yourself :) #TeamVegan
Karen, yes go Vegan!
+Karen Voncripps I'm glad you decided to go vegan, the detox process can be a bit unpleasant but after you feel amazing!
+Sam Egginton Yes! When my husband and I were going through the detox, we could find very little information about it. It can be nerve wracking if you don't know what is going on because it can make you question what you are doing. Thankfully, we pushed through it and it only lasted for a few weeks. Once you push through that, it's smooth sailing! :-) I feel way better than before and my husband and I have lost over 90 pounds between the two of us! Going vegan was the best thing we have ever done! I just wish there was more information out there about the initial detox from animal products. I am NEVER tempted to cheat on a vegan diet, for several reasons, but one big one being that I don't want to ever have to go through that again! Lol!!!
Alison Self woooo! wel done you two, im glad you are feeling better! keep up the great work
great video; one of your best! plant based diets for the win on all levels!
This may be the greatest speech/presentation of all-time. Dr. Greger is a brilliant, charismatic dude. What a Godsend!
Dr. Greger, thank you for everything you do. An amazing video EVERY American needs to see.
This should be the most watched video on RUclips, especially for health junkies and the beauty obsessed.
Being vegan does it all.
Beauty obessed ? Have you taken a good look at this guy ? He looks like a malnourished 12 year old girl at the age of 47?
@@trifract4742 Maybe he’s not beauty obsessed, Einstein.
@@dancindavey1515 Hey, you are not a physics major , thats for sure. Look at the original comment.
@@trifract4742 How do you know what I majored in?
@@dancindavey1515 Dude. Let me break it down for you in real simple terms: The original comment said that veganism is for beauty obsessed people and people who are must watch this video. I pointed out that the person in this video looks terrible. His body looks malnourished as if he is 12 year old girl, and to add to that he is just 47 but looks 60+. This apprantly is counterproductive to anyone who is beauty obessed. That was the point of my comment. It does not matter what you majored in, veganism is malnourishment. No matter how you look at it. It is a religion putting animals and their life above our own. We are predators and we need animal protein and fat to maintain optimal health. Simple as that. No wonder we are at the top of the foodchain. It is NATURE. Try to fight it and you will see what happens - disease.
I came across this video few years ago. Dr. Greger is the best doc ever, hands down
Love you, Dr Greger!! Thank you so much for everything you do. If I could turn back time and save family members from heart disease, I would!
If I could change their views on other animals, I would. Still trying though.
Thank you so very much! My mother is now starting to consider going on a plant-based diet whereas I failed in convincing her for half an year.
Amaaaaaaazzzzziiiiiinnnnnggggggg I have just recently became vegan and have impacted change on so many family and friends who are making huge steps in that direction. Thank You for saving my life!!!
After watching this how could anyone go against the logic and not change their lifestyle? Thank you Dr Greger for providing the facts.
It's so great to watch this 30 days after quitting meat/dairy/eggs cold turkey (haha, pun). My blood pressure dropped from 140/80 to 117/75 in that time and all of this information reinforces my choice even more. Feeling healthier and happier than ever, always full on fruit and veg.
WOW! I thought my diet and lifestyle was pretty healthy, after years of continually optimising my diet from voraciously reading studies. But I learnt more just from watching this 1-hour video than the past few years combined, because it made me consider things I would have never even begun to think about. Keep up the good work Dr Greger!
Father-n-laws uncle had many heart attacks and treatments. Each time they told him to eat LESS MEAT. He never changed his diet. Finally he got so bad he couldn’t walk to the mail without getting out of breathe. Again he went to the doctor for another treatment. Nope, the doctor says he can’t do anything for him. He became a vegan and within a few weeks could walk to the mail and even mow his grass. Within a few months he could go back to his regular life. He lived another 5 years.
My Dad is the same. Has a mobility scooter but he doesn't change because he doesn't believe.
Wow 😮
That's about the same story as Dr. Greger's G-ma. She lived even longer after they gave up on her, but they never told her to cut back on meat. They just told her they didn't know what else to do.
This is the video that started it all and made me go vegan overnight, six years ago. I'm glad I didn't wait a day longer.
Absolutely love the style of your presentation! I mainly eat plant-based, but I think I'm slowly heading toward all out plant-based the more I research and learn
He's got a plethora of other awesome videos...mostly not as long as this one...another good film to watch is "Forks Over Knives"--available at most libraries AND on Netflix, I believe.
epic! I literally was just told about forks over knives today! I'll have to check it out! Thanks for the heads up!
Just out of curiousity: How well did you do after 2 years?

standard american diet = s.a.d.
i see what u did there!
Vegan is not a diet, it's a lifestyle of compassion towards all earthlings on this planet.
yes that is veganism.. but a vegan diet also has its own health benefits. They are both good!
Vegan is a diet, as everyone has their own diet (eat masters, vegetarians, vegans...)
Actually it's a lifestyle of needing to label yourself in order to get attention and feel good without doing a damn thing to change anything. There are lots of people with more compassion that actually do something for the well-being of animals without the need of being a vegan and telling everyone to convert to their cult.-
Yes Karen Sanchez, it is a moral mindset. People who eat a vegan diet and nothing else, are no vegans, period.
ohmybell, No, veganism is a moral mindset. Diet is just a small part of veganism.
one diet to rule them all :)
+Katie Pecotich Works damn skippy for ME and I'm 58...at my high school weight , bp this morning was 119/60 when I donated blood. I feel fabulous...SO much energy!
good on you!!! I'm 34, and I feel 18 again, except so much happier than 18 because I am never hungry!!! i dont feel guilt when eating and that endless cycle of ''portion control'' and ''bloating'' etc. it really is the best thing since sliced bread xo
It's not a diet. It's a solution.
Derek Sevcik its definitely both, just thought in reference to this video it was more about dietary links :)
it's almost impossible for everyone to live on the same diet though, even a diet that would be most optimal for humans. the main reason is that people are simple different from each other. the other reason is people living in different climates and locations. the good thing about being human is that our body does its best to adapt to any diet (or lifestyle) we are on.
I recently switched back from veganism to just vegetarianism (about two months ago). I've missed being vegan and have been considering going back to it. Safe to say that this video has totally changed my mind again and I'm definitely going back to the vegan lifestyle. I can't even remember why I stopped!
great! try to get more inspiration (like vegan youtubers, books, recipes, and documentaries), so you make sure of stay on this lifestyle 😊
Well done for this pointless comment 😅
ellie well done for your pointless reply...
awesome! It can be hard sometimes in our society but I hope you keep it up!!
This film clip, out for over a decade, is as fresh as the first time I saw it. I am as devoted to Dr. Greger as many young women are to Taylor Swift. Though I haven't learned all of his prounouncements by rote, I've taken them all to heart. I appreciate nutritional science.
Indeed, when I read "The China Study" in 2005 I went plant based. In the years since I haven't had one sick day, even throughout COVID-19, not so much as a cold. I set out to avoid the cancers that had afflicted both my dear parents, one of whom died of it.
Yet when my arthritis pain vanished and I stopped losing teeth to periodontal disease, after losing 8 teeth, it was like icing on the cake. I treated myself for both these untreatable conditions with an all plant based diet. My labs are normal, BP just fine. I have no diagnosed illnesses and, at 81 years of age, I require no prescription drugs.
Nevermind that I smoked for 50 years, and for a time was a raging alcoholic. All my drinking buddies have preceded me. It's not just our genetics or our bad habits, it's the food we eat that makes the difference.
Thank you Doc and staff 🥦❤ Loved this all over again. Everybody needs to see this
Dr. Greger fucking rules. What an awesome human being. More praise to you
Thanks for everything you do, Mister Greger. Your work is of vital importance.
His book “How Not To Die” should be required in all schools of medicine.
11:30 Of course they shouldn't go vegetarian.
They should go vegan.
Compelling. Connections between what you put in your mouth and disease.
Love the work this guy does - presenting scientific studies, the context and the results.
Very grateful he does this work.
Outstanding presentation! He had his audience riveted, in stitches when sharing his knowledge!
Dr. Greger is such a great speaker, really makes you excited about the facts!
I admire your work Dr Gregor. You present well researched information in an intelligent and entertaining way.
Great video . Glad I came across it as I’m cleaning up my diet & this is a great video . Fun to watch with his wit & knowledge.
Thank you very much Dr Michael Greger. You are a role model and somebody to respect. Sharing your knowledge is appreciated and god given. You and your team should feel proud and happy to be helping us. Best wishes Jason from Melbourne Victoria. I have watched this video at least 15 times start to finish. You all should be proud. Thank you very much.
Just incredible presentation. Dr. Gregor and NutritionFacts.org team are amazing! Will be sharing with loved ones
Bollywood's biggest star Aamir Khan has gone vegan after watching this video!
Wow
thats awesome to know! even our parents would like some celeb inspo haha. they think im a rare species lol
Phil Adams -I think most Indians are vegetarians.
CM, but not vegans.
Phil Adams, people should watch 'Earthlings' and be ashamed, very ashamed.
I had to watch this for nutrition class, very informative, I didn’t know that plants are this good for so many diseases.
"so what let's not even tell them?" hahah 9:42 got me
A golden monument to all who contribute to the world. Thank you for the video!😊
Compassion to all! Your health, animals, and the environment❤
Such an epic presentation!
EPIC...yes, Michael Greger is EPIC because he cares and wants us all to eat healthy at NO BENEFIT to him personally!

This man`s energy and expertise are incredible.. Thank you so much for your brilliance!!!
This video needs to be recommended by the algorithm again
this video made me so happy to be vegan :))))))))
The only problem is dear, is that every single human as a carnivore and should not be eating plants. Do a little research and look up a video by "Barry Groves, homo carnivorus, what we are designed to eat" and start informing yourself and break out of your brainwash. No human is made to eat plants. This video you commented on is a guy paid to spread false info like all vegan propaganda. Veganism is a lie.
Arzaniel Kerpatray bruh ur the one brainwashed 🤣🤣 gtfo “no human is made to eat plants” UHUH. Think about even the most basic genetic evolutionary coding we have... our teeth, our molars... do we have sharp piercing canines like a lion? I don’t think so. Humans are built to eat plants... literally anyone in the history or the universe can tell you that smh.
@@sumsum002 My friend your out of touch, disconnected from the way things work here in this physical realm. Everything here kills or waits until something dies to eat it. Everything and your no different. You are in a food chain where many things want to eat you also. Our gut is designed CARNIVORE not otherwise. The fact that we can survive amazingly, thrive very healthy, gain muscle, have super STRENGTH 💪, extreme endurance, extreme peace, be calm, and have perfect health and healing from the destructiveness of eating plants is the result of eating animals. I rarely ever eat a plant other then blackberries or a raw root like a potatoe. Other plants are used for their poisons for various uses. I've tried every single so-call diet there is and second to the last was veganism. Total lies that we are plants eaters. If you did an experiment by eating only beef and chicken or whatever with lots of fat from the animal or butter and see how you feel in a month or two You'd be amazed at how GOOD you feel. There's nothing better and health is never better. I'll say this, if you have never gone 100% carnivore then YOU DO NOT KNOW what feeling good, great, and fantastic, is even about. That is guaranteed. Or teeth are made for meat. Our mind is our weapon not teeth. We have no need for lion, wolf, cat style teeth because we don't kill much of anything with the type mouth we have and it's way not big enough for that. Our physical design is a higher ranking one with our consciousness thinking far superior to conquer and kill anything....ANYTHING. If you'd like to start broadening your mind watch, "Barry Groves, homo carnivoras, what we are designed to eat." This will introduce you to a few things you may not be aware of. 😉
Arzaniel Kerpatray I’m sure the planet would cope well if humans all decided to eat only meat 🙃 stupid, impractical message. The studies on a plant based diet are clear I’m not sure what evidence you think you have to the contrary
@@sarahelizabeth2359 I used to be brainwashed as you are until I spent fine in the desolate woods and wondered about all the people's, Indians, travelers, etc that lived without supermarket gmo plants. Studied the whole deal and found that today's science about plants being good for humans is bogus and an agenda the rulers impliment thru corporations, media, schools, and false science reports. Humans are carnivore to the bone just as a wolf, lion, any Carnvore. Once I went full carnivore all health issues vanished and restoration success! Plants are the worst thing for any carnivore to eat. Dogs and car even get our diseases because they mix plants in their food also!
You need to research a little deeper then the propagandized things you read, they are false science reports and they're paid to write them! Try putting yourself through one little video and inform yourself it's called, "Barry Groves, homo carnivorus, what we are designed to eat." Let this video be a star on your journey to find the real facts about the human being design and obligate good we are made to eat. We have carnivore guts...NOT plant eaters!
Why would anyone thumbs down this video? Truth hurts?
Jocelyn Dziadyk maybe hits them in their bank accounts
One of the best videos on RUclips! Thank you Dr. Greger! I know that I am healthier and it is because of you!
I wish I could show this to my parents but their English isn't that good... is there a way I can help out with the subtitles (French) ?
There is French subtitle. From the lower right corner, there is a
cogwheel, you click it and a list shows up, the forth item in the list
is subtitles, click and ther are many languages, one of them is French!
Good luck
I haven't enjoyed so much a presentation including ppt in a such a long time :) genius...
Maybe this is natures karma?!
Those who disrespect animals end up getting sick?! X
YES
agreed!
Not exactly karma, but rather we are "designed" to be herbivores, with little to no evidence saying otherwise...the only reason people believe we are omnivores is that we think all these diseases he mentions in the video are COMMON for humans, despite not occuring in any other species of monkeys, and therefore accept this as though we can eat animal products. No one ever looks up these kinds of things, because people around us who has not looked up the real facts say something like "Oh we are omnivores, right?" which they are unsure about until someone claims they are not.
Omnivorism and diseases...One causes the other, and the industry benefits greatly.
+Kaka Dodo smh
Kaka Dodo And how do you know if anyone of us has done our own research or not?
Very little if any of this has changed in 10 years. I'm 8 years better off myself from changing my diet. Hope y'all are too.
That's because GMO started in 1994 with a tomato. From the beginning of time until the possibly introduction into factories (the first factory in 1790 used 9+ children pushing foot treadles) the food was more nutritious and not as heavy on the chemicals, antibiotics etc.
This presentation is a wonderful combination of serious science and sense of humour. I've really enjoyed it!
So very grateful for you, Dr. Greger. You've changed my life for good! Thank you!
Good to keep up to date with all of the new info, been a vegan for years but still tweaking my diet, it's a work in progress.
I hear yah on that! Vegan for 4 years... it is a constant work in progress... also the programming I have had as an athlete, competitor, PT and a hard-core gym rat, carnivore... not eating like a blood type A at all. This is a great post thankyou
watched this for the second time, still as good as the first
"The sixth leading cause of death... is me! Thankfully, I can be prevented with a plant-based diet." :DDDD
Beautiful presentation Dr. Gregor. So pleased to hear this news!
As a Yoga Instructor, I find your research absolutely amazing. Thanks a lot!
It's sad about the amount of research out there yet it's still being kept in the dark because of the power of the animal agriculture industries. People are constantly bombarded with meat and dairy promotional advertisements, TV commercials and even the systems we depend on telling us to continue eating meat and dairy.I am going to university and studying nutrition and yet my teacher is providing misleading and contradicting information to the class of future dieticians.
You want to know why many health industry "experts" are part of this whole process of information corruption because like at my school all of these students going on to work in the health industry are being told to have 3 glasses of dairy a day, eat red meat for iron and protein. My school is SPONSORED by the dairy industry and when you open your eyes and become aware of that you will than see how specifically centred the class is in promoting dairy, it's ALL about MONEY!open your eyes people and do your OWN RESEARCH!
5 years later they are after the fruits and vegetables. Making them gmo
This video is amazing! Thank you so much for putting all this information out there, I've sent it to so many friends trying to get them to see the benefits of the vegan way :) It's really nice to have something to present that is so well informed. Keep on doing amazing work! Xoxo
Thank you for your brilliant work, Dr Greger!
You will always get great advice form the King of Nutritional Knowledge Dr Michael Greger! What a great video!
Thanks for the video.. Why anyone would thumbs down this video is beyond me..
BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO!
"If there is one thing that we know about hot dog eaters, it's that they are picky!" - Dr. Greger. Such a wonderfully put statement! hahaha
Dr. Gregory, you are an inspiration to me and a true hero for humanity. Thank you for all your work and spreading the word.
Thank you for this!!! Incredible work. You really get so thorough and the credible information is given to people who would otherwise be treated with (for profit) pharmaceuticals when their situations snowball into eventual illness. This is something I see in my daily life and now instead of saying - Hey local farmer, Rob [who is losing his foot and whose arteries are clogging because he eats scary amounts of pizza and steak and who is trying to fix it with the ketogenic diet he saw on "The RUclips" and did NOT ask a doctor about it] maybe you should eat vegetables and cut down on all that steak 👺, I can say - Oh hey Rob, here is a book that mentions research about your condition on this page I [not] coincidentally labeled! Evidence based information is so important. I appreciate that you provide that for people so much. Really. It's inspiring and, I believe it is also inspiring enough that the good deed alone will likely breed other good deeds. Thank you Dr. Greger.
Yeah...vegan it is.
