I have a question regarding protein intake, because I have read contradictory recommendations. On the one hand, there is a recommendation of 0.8 g of protein per kilogram of body weight, which is also recommended by Dr. Greger. This amount also roughly corresponds to the amount of protein consumed in the Blue Zones - about 10 percent of the daily calorie intake. A protein intake at this level appears to be related to longevity. This is also supported by studies that claim to prove the connection between an increased protein intake with a greater risk of disease and higher mortality. This is explained by the influence of increased protein intake on biological parameters such as increased IGF-1 and decreased FGF21, as you mentioned in some of your videos. Now the question arises for me whether there are negative consequences for health if one doubles the daily protein intake to 1.6 g per kg body weight, as recommended for strength-oriented athletes, even if the protein intake is entirely from whole-food plant-based sources such as legumes, whole grains, nuts, seeds. So, from a nutritional perspective, do we have to choose between A) a high muscle mass and B) longevity and a lower risk of disease? Or does such a high protein intake not contradict longevity? I would appreciate an answer, because I am very confused around this topic. 😊
@@gb7168 Thank you for your response, but my question wasn‘t how much protein is benefitial for building muscle. My question was, if the increase in protein intake leads to negativ consequences for health, even if the protein comes from wfpb sources. The difference between animal or plant protein matters for health as shown in other videos, so my question is, if the amount of protein should be limited, even if it‘s wfpb. And does that mean, that someone has to decide between longevity and a high muscle mass?

Hi, @kocsiserika1987! Konjac has not been covered on NutritionFacts, so it has not been assigned to a red/yellow/green light category. However, I am familiar with konjac, which comes from the root of a plant native to parts of Asia. Konjac flour, also called konjac powder or konjac glucomannan, sold as supplements or food use, is mostly fiber. It can help with constipation, as well as lowering LDL cholesterol, triglyceride, and blood glucose levels, and may help with weight loss, because it makes people feel full. It is sometimes made into noodles, used in baked goods, or to thicken soups or sauces. It is important to drink plenty of water with konjac, and to be aware that it can cause gastrointestinal side effects such as diarrhea, bloating, gas, nausea, and abdominal pain. There have been cases of blockage to the throat or bowels from konjac. Some konjac products have caused choking deaths in children and older adults.

Hi, @MaryFilkins! This video features several studies using multiple products. One of them uses Premarin, which is made with estrogen from the urine of pregnant mares. Some products are made from a type of wild yam. I am not aware of any estrogen products made from soy, but they may exist. It is worth noting that soy phytoestrogens are not actual estrogens. They have both pro-estrogenic and anti-estrogenic effects in the body. More on that here: nutritionfacts.org/video/who-shouldnt-eat-soy/ If you have concerns, it is best to find out the source of estrogen in any product you might want to try. I hope that helps! -Christine Kestner, MS, CNS, LDN, MPH, NutritionFacts.org Health Support Volunteer
Thank you for talking about this out loud like women are people ❤🥦
not expecting this topic in a nutrition channel, but ok! thank you! very informative.

Hi! Konjac flour is allowed in whole food plant based diet? (which lights? red/green/ yellow)

Opinion on bioHRT?
Please look up updated videos on HRT actually has been debunked
So interesting! Thank you sooo much, this is so important
I love this channel!
Does Dr Greger advocates for peri menopausal women to take HRT or is it better not to take anything and go through it naturally? Thank you
He does not know enough about it. Go to An OB/GYN or Functional medicine doctor who understands bio-identical HRT.
Is this estrogen from soy? I'm almost 50, and on blood thinners for heart valve replacement. Soy messes with my inr.
