    This man is a hero. I'm not a vegetarian. I'm a stem cell biologist with high cholesterol and I'm changing my lifestyle and diet because I now understand the real benefits of a plant based diet.
    I mean, as a biologist I'm supposed to know more than the average person, and maybe I do, but Dr Greger has taught me so much that I can't ignore it any more.
    This is science communication at its best!

    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.

The best thing we can do with the work he so selflessly does every year is to *apply it* and *promote it*.

    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.

    • @YodaOnDMT
      @YodaOnDMT 9 лет назад +5

      +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.

    • @LiquidRush
      @LiquidRush 9 лет назад +4

      +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.

    • @YodaOnDMT
      @YodaOnDMT 9 лет назад +6

      +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.

    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.

      @@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.

    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.

    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.

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.

      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.

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!

    "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

    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.
