I, too am 76 yrs old and have only recently found Dr Li. You are such a Blessing Dr Li, thank you for sharing your hard earned knowledge with us all in such an amicable, easy to understand way. I live in Melbourne, Australia and watch you at all hours of the night ... you have become my late night bedtime story teller, lol. I was recently diagnosed with Diabetes 2 and a heart murmur, which didn't come as much of a surprise really as I haven't taken care of myself for years after my youngest son died in a car accident .. and it broke me into tiny pieces. Changing a lifetime of bad habits and sugar cravings is a huge challenge but finding your videos, done with such generosity and clarity, just in time (actually I call it one of my 'Angel Moments') is simply wonderful. Thank you with all my heart. May God Bless you dear.
I’m 75 years old. Pre-diabetes, good cholesterol numbers, good blood pressure. I am, however, overweight and my new doctor and I just this month have set timely goals for weight loss. I just stumbled onto your RUclips videos, have started watching them and have ordered your books. Am I too late, too old to glean the health benefits that you attribute to eating the appropriate foods and drinks, ie; kiwis, blueberries, pomegranate juice, green tea, black tea, coffee, and the list probably goes on? I haven’t even watched the videos on weight loss yet, inasmuch as I’m new to your channel. (I watched your visit with Dr. Hayman from 5 years ago. Wow!). I hope it is not too late and that I can benefit from implementing your teachings.
My partner is 81 today. He had the same issues you mention. I started taking care of his (our) diet 1 year ago: whole foods, nuts and seeds, more plants than animal producs and his health has dramatically improved - lower blood sugar, triglyceriides, blood cholesterol, blood pressure and minus 10 kgs. Dietary changes work, even at 80.
Dr Li uses familiar and often numerous analogies to educate us and make us eager to get on board toward improving our health status. PS really enjoying his book - Eat to Beat Disease !
I am so glad I stumbled across you not too long ago! Thank you so much for all the information you share! You are amazing! And you’re not like some of those doctors on other platforms which make you listen over and over and over again to so much BS and hardly ever get to the point!they just want to sell you items! You and the other hand are amazing and I thank God for you every day!
Where I live there’s a bread company that sells rustic sourdough. Since Doc’s last talk that mentioned bread, I started with some sourdough, a slice a couple days per week. I put a little smashed avacado on it, a thin slice of red onion, a black Kalamata olive, and a splash of extra virgin single source California olive oil. Heaven. I tried making my own sourdough but my starter wouldn’t start lol
Baking organic sourdough everything....pizza, buns, cakes, everything that needs yeast or baking powder I replace with sds ferment, like pancakes, waffles...next is making fermented bread from grapes instead of sourdough starter....grapes( or any other fruit) in water for 4 days ferments enough to make bread....my kids would never touch anything but my bread. My 14 years old knows how to make beautiful sds bread ❤❤❤❤
I have a bread machine, which I love and it’s so easy to use. My recipe for white bread has chia seeds and salt free garlic herb seasoning. I only make a 1 lb loaf each time every 5 days. I am allergic to wheat but can eat rye, use white bread flour and don’t have any problem with other grains.
Dr. Li, may I plz challenge you to to have Sue Becker on for a podcast. Why? She teaches you how to bake fresh bread from fresh ground wheat, olive oil,yeast,salt and honey,that’s it,it is just incredible. You can share the science aspect of the health benefits she teaches.. She’s on RUclips, ‘Only Real Bread-Staff of Life. The secret to fresh homemade bread is the fresh ground wheat which is used immediately , which you can do in your own home,,,,it’s living bread. I hope you will consider this and,,,thank you for all your knowledge you have shared,I have learned much.
Organic whole grain sourdough bread is really delicious - and even better if you grind whole grains just before you bake it. i am 80 years old and I eat mostly whole, unprocessed plants and eat legemes every day. I eat a bit of fatte fish once a week and I feel very good. My inspirations are dr Michael Greger and dr Neal Barnard - and dr William Li and dr McDougles - 🎵🩷🌺❤️🎶
I live in Colorado, and my Latvian friend who lives in Los Angeles ships me bread baked in Lithuanian. Heavy rye. It’s fantastic. She buys it at an international grocery store. I slice it and freeze it. It lasts a long time.
Lithuanian here, my grandmother used to make that delicious bread. Unfortunately she passed before I became interested in baking. Just you mentioning that heavy rye brought back some pleasant memories, thank-you!
Here in uk the supermarkets pretend they re baking on site but it’s all nonsense it’s frozen and arrives at store who then heat and pretend they have just booked. IN SHORT NEVER BUY BREAD IN SUPERMARKETS
For practical reasons, rare occasions I have bread from supermarket, I simply choose high fiber like wholemeal rye sourdough bread. Yes still some processing and stuff but I believe the high fiber goes a long way to make it positive overall
Even the so-called "store baked bread" is usually made from buckets of bread mix containing as many additives as the plastic wrapped loaves. You really need to go to an authentic baker who has been up since 4am, a vanishing breed.
In Europe when one buys from a baker, the bread needs to be eaten within a few days otherwise it becomes hard as a rock, no preservatives, no extra chemicals, etc. I've been baking my own breads, buns, etc, all bio for 8 years, usually a 2 hour process, including cleanup while waiting for the bread to finish baking. I have some 30+ different things to bake, just like the local bakery.
I'm not Dr Li, I thought I'd answer anyway. My brother was on heavy dose of antibiotics for several months. I have him on kiefer and a good culture yogurt. So far so good feeling great. It re-populates the good bacteria in the guy. Also good is sauerkraut.
My bread is just sourdough, salt, flour and water.The store- bought bread in Europe also contains a lot of additives. Although the flour is not the same as the old one.🥖🤔💌
Great and informative video, Dr. Li, thank you! I am like your friend: Sensitive to 'gluten' here, however, overseas, no problem! I have long thought that it was either the 'additives' and possible pesticides (roundup?) used on the bread here, in North America. I know that in Europe, certain additives and chemicals are not used in their foods, and are, in fact, not legal. My question is: Why can we not eliminate the use of these chemicals here? Some people think is so that we 'can produce more to feed our population'. However, Europe's population is greater there than here, in N.A. so I suggest to them that that argument has no weight, in my opinion. It would make sense to me if our governments followed Europe's lead, and cleaned up our food. Thank you once again for sharing your knowledge -- so very much appreciated!
It may not be the gluten. It may be the pesticide glyphosate. The weed killer Roundup. I can eat organic flour with no problem. Europe does not use glyphosate.
Hi Dr Li, I love bread and BUTTER so I stay away most of the time 😅 -QUESTION what is the difference between your book eat to beat disease and eat to beat your diet? I’m looking to cancel some of my supplement subscriptions and want to do the my best with my food.. Also, I don’t eat much meat at all if anything, maybe sardines once in a while. Which supplements are best to keep and what can I accomplish with food while keeping my grocery cost on the low end?
Dr. Li, please do a series on how to stay healthy on a budget. ."Bad" bread can be less than $2 while"healthy" multi grain/seed bakery bread is $7. I buy most of my staples from countries that ban harmful chemicals in food but with the new tariffs on imports planned by government I won't be able to afford that. It might sound simple to say just buy healthier choices but those are beyond many budgets.
As a BBlqck person living on the south side of Chicago my mother served us bread all of the time. She would be so shocked to hear about the additions to bread. However during the holidays she would make homemade rolls that smelled and tasted so gooooood
Every time I am tempted to buy bread, I just take whole wheat flour and make chapathi and eat it something. In the e d I am happy I was able to control myself n eat the chapathi. I enjoy it with nuts, berries, cream cheese or chutney even
if we can't digest the bread with chemicals, where do the chemicals go in our bodies? Does it line the intestines like glue? does it prevent absorption of nutrients?
Italian flour might be another option, as my understanding is they grow a different type wheat there, versus the wheat grown in America..they also don’t spray the crops with glyphosate. I have severe wheat allergies, so bake my own using coconut or almond flour. I do have Italian flour, but haven’t tried it yet.
In Hawaii, all the bread is from here, the State DOH mandates the "plastic sleeves" and there is a LOT of different types of breads available. Nothing is left off the shelf for a long time because we all know how to read the tabs.
Hi Dr. Li! I was wondering what your thoughts were for eating gluten with hashimoto's. I eat a bread with organic spelt that is sourdough. Only ingredients are organic spelt Himalayan salt and water. I get it in the frozen section. I don't eat any other gluten but in your opinion should I remove it from my diet??
Unfortunately, I eat white bread gluten free, because I can’t eat the others, I’m also wheat intolerant. When I do eat bread, I have a maxim of two slices for the day when I feel like eating bread. I have to freeze it as it takes me a long time to finish a loaf. I do love having one slice of buttered toast with an egg, can’t give that up. 😃
I love pan de sal grew up in Philippines baked fresh daily my grandma lived to be in her 90s with this bread and instant coffee twice s day for breakfast and merienda. I don't like the breads here in US if you go to Aldi the bread aisle most have cancer warning for most of the bread.
Good old Abraham ate sourdough ancient grains so I’m going to get kaput or ‘einkorn’ berries, grind my own flour, make the dough using a remnant of dough from the last bread to serve as leavening, let it rise at room temperature for a day or more, and live to 120. Well, at 77, it’s a bit late for me to do it right, so if I make it to 90, I’ll be happy to meet my Maker.
The additives are a small part of the problem - they don't leave bread to prove. The chemicals allow them to 'prove' the bread mechanically within a minute or two. The plastic bag causes moulds to grow, very quickly.
Isn't the hybridized wheat that is in most breads, even the bakery's bad for us? Wouldn't ancient grain breads made with spelt, kamut and einkorn be a better choice for us all?
I love all of your information! I have two of your books, and I really appreciate your videos. May I make a suggestion. Please listen to how many time you use the word “actually” in just this video. It’s distracting, at least to me. I hope I haven’t offended.
I appreciate Wil Li's profound science-based knowledge. The information he shares is precious. If this video is too long for anybody, they should go back to watching cartoons on their TVs.
How about all the glyphosate sprayed on the the grain these days. Extremely toxic to the liver and it can affect so many bodily functions and lead to autoimmune diseases.
I do not eat bread and rice anymore because even organic rice has arsenic from soil. But I eat whole grain instead like barley, buckwheat, beans, quinoa, millet, . I love barley. DR Li said barley has gluten. I wonder if it is ok to eat cooked hulled barley. It has lot of fiber, help digestion.
I've eaten bread since childhood, with diabetes running strong on both sides of family. No diabetes. I've heard milk drinkers are more prone due to something in the molecular structure messing with insulin.
I believe your are right. My friend died from cancer this year age 59. He was addicted to bread. A sliced loaf of white bread a day. Just stop and adopt a keto lifestyle would be my solution. Regards.
So Dr Li is essentially saying if not geniunely gluten-sensitive, to eat a little amount of whole wheat grain, no sugar, no unprounouncable additives sourdough bread from a local bakery that uses a sourdough starter and eat it with single-estate (not blended) olive oil (not with butter)? :-)
I read that the wheat that is now harvested contains a chemical that contributes to insulin resistance. I'm sorry, I can't recall the chemical that has mutated because our wheat has been altered. Which is my case? I'm normal, bmi eat plant based diet, no carbs or very rarely sugar. I occasionally eat sprouted grain bread Ezekiel but don't know if that is even good. So I changed to organic barley in my dishes. But still can't get my blood sugar below 100. Even with exercise and weight training. I increased h20 consumption also. Any advice? I actually eat so clean that I need salt to shift h20 into my cells.
Dr. Li, I've had C. diff from antibiotics. Even more bacteria die from the treatment. How do I repopulate my gut? I've had lots of antibiotics over the last 20 years and I noticed they made me gain weight. Is there anything to help reverse that? Thanks!!
I have access to what’s called artisan bread so it’s not mass-produced and it seems to have some fiber and good things in it and I have maybe a slice a day -it’s crusty and I love toasting it. is this OK?
All of the bread from Kroger’s , Walmart and Publix all taste the same. Bland, and have a heavy thick texture. I often feel nauseous after I eat any of their breads.
I think if your deli meat is actually just cooked meat sliced without additives, then you are good to go. Here in America deli meat is a "food like substance".
@josephtein3835 informal, British expression that describes someone who is very clever in a way that is annoying. It's often used to describe someone who thinks they know more than everyone else or is always right. For example, you might say "Go on, clever clogs, tell us how to do it!". [AI says】
@Puffin289 Thanks for the explanation! I would otherwise never have known what you're saying about me.😀 I can't possibly match Wil Li's knowledge and scientific accomplishments, but I am quite good at languages and it always bothers me to see language dumbed down. Cheers.

As long as you are on this side of the grass and not 6’ under, there is always room for improvement. Do what you can, while you can.

Organic Sourdough loaf from my local farmer! Thankful I found them. Still limit my intake of it.
I like bread, but I bake it, I don't buy. I add the ingredients like ground flaxseed, Italian seasoning, herbs and ground nuts, no preservatives. 😊
Indeed, it is best to bake your bread. You know what you put in it.
Sounds delicious! Would you like to share your recipe?

Even the so-called "store baked bread" is usually made from buckets of bread mix containing as many additives as the plastic wrapped loaves. You really need to go to an authentic baker who has been up since 4am, a vanishing breed.
But, you still have to avoid white flour.
Dr Li, I enjoy your videos. There are natural nut butters. No additives. No stabilisers.
We get a couple of weeks worth of sourdough bread from our little bakery and freeze it.

I have been eating low carb tortillas for over a year now. I am wondering if I am aiding my gut with this or not. Whether the fiber is "good" fiber.
the problem is, most of the ingredients are grown hybrid ... so technically and generally... no bread is safe to eat ... even if it's home-baked!

So I changed to organic barley in my dishes. But still can't get my blood sugar below 100. Even with exercise and weight training. I increased h20 consumption also. Any advice? I actually eat so clean that I need salt to shift h20 into my cells.
One pound of power greens or cruciferous veggie s raw / day
Where's the list ?
Dr. Li, I've had C. diff from antibiotics. Even more bacteria die from the treatment. How do I repopulate my gut? I've had lots of antibiotics over the last 20 years and I noticed they made me gain weight. Is there anything to help reverse that? Thanks!!
I love Dr. Li, but I also love Dr. William Davis, who has written about gut health in "Super Gut." I highly recommend it.
I love Dr. Li. I also love Dr. William Davis, who has written a book called "Super Gut. You will find answers to your questions in there.
I'm 85 years old. My weight is ideal qnd stable. I do not eat bread. I eat 95% meat.
We get freshly baked in Carrefour sourdough. Is that ok? But it’s big and we need 7/8 days to finish. Unfortunately
what about rye bread for insulin resistance only one slice does not seem to affect my blood sugar and I don,t eat it every day
Sorry. Couldn't finish watching this. My loss.
I have access to what’s called artisan bread so it’s not mass-produced and it seems to have some fiber and good things in it and I have maybe a slice a day -it’s crusty and I love toasting it. is this OK?
What about Ezekiel Bread?
I eat 1 slice a day. Excellent ingredients and lots of fiber! No flour ,no sugar and fairly low carb.
All of the bread from Kroger’s , Walmart and Publix all taste the same. Bland, and have a heavy thick texture.
I often feel nauseous after I eat any of their breads.
You did not mention about GMO flour.
Don't they add the sugar to feed the yeast?
No, you have to make your sourdough starter.
Whole wheat breads cause acid reflux for me yet I can eat a slice of sourdough from the bakery and be fine.
Thanks!
Not a big deal for i’m a rice fan.
I buy protein bread or ryvitta biscuits
Is there a gluten free bread that’s healthy.
wtf is in American deli meat?! Here in Australia deli meat is roast chicken, beef , pork etc sliced. Or is that what Dr is telling us to avoid?
Glue! Investigate it
I think if your deli meat is actually just cooked meat sliced without additives, then you are good to go. Here in America deli meat is a "food like substance".
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽Dr Li
What about breads that have bio engineering elements in them?
I say they’re not good. What do you say Dr. Lee?
What about ribs that have bioengineering elements in them?
To me, that’s a no no
What do you say, Dr. Lee?
Why don’t you mention, that the heat that is necessary for baking the bread is killing all the beautiful and healthy bacteria?
NO grains are healthy; it is just finding the least offensive and partaking of them extremely sparingly.
Love the message. But too much redundant rambling.
is jason’s sourdough bread o.k ?
Read the ingredients list, it should have sourdough starter, anything else like vinegar is a, No.
BacteriA is plural, Wil. A single one is a bacteriUM. In correct English we say "those" bacteria, or "that" bacterium.
Clever clogs
@SKY-qf8qq What does "clever clogs" mean, and how is it related to this comment?
@josephtein3835 informal, British expression that describes someone who is very clever in a way that is annoying. It's often used to describe someone who thinks they know more than everyone else or is always right. For example, you might say "Go on, clever clogs, tell us how to do it!".
[AI says】
@Puffin289 Thanks for the explanation! I would otherwise never have known what you're saying about me.😀 I can't possibly match Wil Li's knowledge and scientific accomplishments, but I am quite good at languages and it always bothers me to see language dumbed down. Cheers.
I’m watching this video as I eat bread 😭
