dr greger's so full of anti-oxidants pretty soon he's gonna be preventing cancer just by standing near people
he's gonna run out of oxidants
Lol that’s halarious
This joke is ever-green
Rofl
Now, on to the world. Next stop, Universe.
Dr. Gregor, I advertise you and your channel to my coworkers and social circle whenever we get into health/diet conversations. I love your work and I am deeply grateful for your niche contributions to this planet. Thank you
I stir a teaspoon of amla and about 1/8 teaspoon of ginger powder, cinnamon and turmeric into my morning coffee with about a quarter cup of soy milk. Amla is super bitter by itself, but the other spices and the bitterness of the coffee flavor mask the flavor of the amla. I've been doing this for a couple of years. Great stuff!
Make sure the white tea leaves your eating come from a quality source country like Japan, which has some of the lowest levels of heavy metals in their tea.
Do you have a particular brand, or brand that you prefer, especially ones that are readily available? Thanks.
I am sooo glad this man is my new dr. We r lucky he is on youtube.
I went out today and bought amla powder from an Indian grocery store after listening to this video. It was $3.99 for 200g/7.0oz which seems to be noticeably cheaper than what it's being sold for online. I was hoping it would taste fruity but it actually taste like a mild spice. I added it to a smoothie and really couldn't it at all which is good.
I add 2 teaspoons of powdered cloves to my smoothie everyday, it's quite tasty.
I'm pretty good at tolerating ground cloves too....add it to my oats WITH Ceylon cinnamon and ground flax seeds and wild organic blueberries 3-4 times each week...probably 1 full teaspoon of the ground cloves each time!
“One sip you’d be on the floor.” Lol!
Yup, it’s pretty intense!
Dr. Greger is taking over youtube with his 1000+ videos!
:) you can find all sorts of Amla products in Indian grocery stores, I have frozen amlas in my freezer. But yeah, ask the indian grocery place for powdered amla :)
ayurvedic stores too. Amla churna. There's also triphala churna thats prepared by mixing 1/3 amla churn.
Dr. Greger, can you recommend a brand of amla powder?
Do a video on having too much anti-oxidants
+Bo Li it's called IMMORTALITYYYYY
+Tommy Scott Please provide evidence of your claim. I simply don't believe it.
+Tommy Scott - thank you very much for the link. This is of particular relevance for me as I am taking care of my mother with stage IV cancer, so the article does give me pause. Some concerns, however, are: 1) the use of mice--there are a number of studies where, once the species barrier was crossed, different results were produced than that in humans. 2) As +Peter Rabitt pointed out the method of delivery of these huge amounts of anti-oxidants were strictly via supplements or isolated compounds, not via whole foods. If you rely on whole foods for anti-oxidant delivery, it might be the case that you would not be physically capable of achieving the numbers used in the study.
So in the case of someone that already has cancer ... inaction is action, and one has to weight the balance of evidence. Until I see more studies that support the findings of this one, I still think choosing to boost anti-oxidants, via whole foods, might be the smartest choice.
+Peter Rabitt You do know your stuff, sir. I consider myself a faithful student of Dr. Greger and had yet to see this ... until now (did that sound Gregerish?). This gives me even more ammo to have her completely eliminate at least fish and chicken (even though she rarely eats non vegan foods now away). Thank you very much.
BoiseTriathlete Take a look at The NORI PROTOCOL. Chris beat Cancer has a fantastic interview with the director and it goes in depth regarding Methionine, Antioxidants, Juicing, Supplements etc.......
Literally paused this video as I was watching it so I could go to Amazon and order some! What a quick and easy way to add the good stuff- thanks!
Please make a video on vegan protein smoothies for body builders Doc!
Yes it would be very helpful to illustrate a nutrient dense shake, that uses whole foods with a macro nutrient ratio favourable to those bodybuilding or generally lifting weights. Most healthy shakes I see are disproportionately skewed in favour of carbs. Which is fine, but it would be good to know how to boost the protein content without sending the fats through the roof
Just use vegan protein powder. There are many choices these days e.g. brown rice, pea protein, various blends, etc.
yah i m considering going vegan and everthying that sustains my physical as a non vegan is disease causing according to this drs/ research! sigh
I'm not vegan, but i use Warrior Blend or SunWarrior Vegan powder, I can't remember how its called. However it would still be nice to have a break down of a shake with lets say a"40 40 20" split (typical meathead ratio...) made from whole foods. If thats even possible...
Check my channel!
Can you please make video on a peffect diet for hair growth?
Facts are always there dr greger...welll done as always with the thorough research
Amazing, thanks so much for this great digital library of health information. It's really made me rethink my food choices.

And we haven't even had breakfast yet
CAN I GET A HELLO THEREEE
LMAO~! Good old Ralph!
Goodasprana baby 👌😇
ULULULULULULUUL
Gallopeermeneer Hello there!
I LOVE RALPH
I'm a nutritionist and just discovered this guy. he is the bees knees 😆 so excited.
You are a good person, you will go far!
?
Hi! Would love to know where you got your Amla. I'm seeing it's used for hair and skin in Indian stores all over the net, and eBay has some. I just want to make sure I'm getting the right kind. Thanks so much!
I put a teaspoon of ground organic cloves in my 2 quart green smoothie every day.
Yummy!
WARRIOR you are! I can only get up to 1/2 teaspoon! But I do it daily...into dark berry "pudding" and into my oats! and sometimes I say to myself "WHEW ...those ground cloves are kicking my ass!" LOL! I cannot imagine an entire teaspoon full!
What you talking about, I can put up to 3 leveled tea spoons in my daily oats. Taste like balls but it can be done. lol
At that point just take them in capsule form lol
I love my morning smoothies but I know to drink them slowly so my innards know I’ve given them a gift of nutrition.
This video should have more views. Amazing stuff!
put some organic kale and spinach into the mix
yes! I do this with my dark berry pudding! you'd never know the kale is "in there."
Do dried powdered goose berries really contain that much antioxidants, most studies are done on fresh berries so how do you know the dried powdered form still has the same antioxidant content?
When you eat fresh foods you take on it's bio-electronic energy
some foods like grains and beans can be stored
but berries are meant to be eaten fresh otherwise you are only getting a small portion of the effect
@@Elias-iq2mn Except if it is frozen!
Where does oatmeal fall on the list?
Very low... Oatmeal has very little antioxidants... unless you add something like cinnamon and blueberries to it, then its at the very top almost.
...and most cinnamon products are very suspect in their origins or in the actual amount of real cinnamon they contain.
Yes but you want to cook it so it does not drain your body metals. Boiling it releasing the whatever it was called thing that drain it. So don't eat it raw.
+fat cat
Note that the blood sugar controlling benefits of cinnamon are non-existent in the Ceylon variety (Dr. Greger did a video on this). But the antioxidant power of cinnamon might be present in Ceylon... I'm not sure. Perhaps there is a study that tests the antioxidant capacity of Ceylon cinnamon.
Its still healthy for you, just less anti oxidants
is there an upper limit to the amount of anti-oxidants you can derive benefit from? I get the impression from these vids that it's really easy to meet your daily needs if you know which spices, fruits and vegetables to ingest.
Basically, eat as much as possible. Antioxidants are not like other static nutrients where one serving of them at the beginning of the day is all you need. Events that induce oxidative stress, like exercise, actual stress, and injuries all "deplete" your "antioxidant stores". Having as much as possible is best practice because they can fight oxidative stress and inflammation anywhere and everywhere it occurs. They also seem to have beneficial effects on cognitive and arterial function as well.
Amla powder is one of three components (berries) of the traditional Indian supplement Triphala. (Amla, Haritaki and Bibhitaka). It's well known to be an anti-oxidant bomb.
That is brillant... I'm in NYC... I've got to get myself down to little India and get myself some of that stuff.
Is there anywhere that you have listed meal ideas?
Angela Catalano TheVeganCorner might help you with that. Although they may not display a full array of nutritional information like Dr. Gregor does, they definitely know a lot in the sense of proper food preparation, as well as neat tips and tricks :)
He made a cookbook recently: The How not to Die Cookbook. You can buy it on Amazon. :-)
I ordered some alma powder the day I saw this. So far I have only added it to oatmeal. I need to get a good blender.
Buy a vitamix from Costco. I had mine for 5 years before the motor died, returned it to Costco and they gave me credit ($400) to buy a new one. Costco is awesome.
A Vitamix is expensive but Costco sells them for $350 which is a good deal as far as Vitamix blenders go....I've had mine for 7 years now and I haven't regretted the purchase one bit....It stung a little to drop that amount of money but Holy Crap it's worth every penny....I use that thing almost every day
for a breakfast smoothie like this, a regular $25. blender works just fine.
I put soy milk, spinach or kale, banana (sometimes a slicedand frozen one), frozen berries, and some little extras: every morning for 6 months and the blender is doing great!
NexisFilms Vitamix is best they give you 7 years warranty I use them for many years
How has it been? You changed lifestyle and eat meat now? Or do you maybe remember if the gooseberry powder made some changes?
Haha! Love the spike on the chart when it comes to your smoothie! ✨✨✨✨✨
It would be great to hear what Dr. Greger eats in a day :-)
His books tell you what he eats. Try reading them.
There is only one Indian market near me and they only have frozen Amla berries. They taste nasty, but I eat one each morning because of your videos. I also eat a Bitter Gourd once a week. They are even nastier than Amla. I am worried that Amla powder and supplements are garbage as you said in another of your videos. What Amla Powder do you use, where do you get it, and how do you know it is legit ?
Kurtis, look for TerraSoul certified organic amla powder on Amazon; I just bought a 12 ounce bag for $12.
valnaples Thank you. I found it. I have some ordered.
Kurtis Tatsch gooseberries and bitter guards are made to be made into spicy pickles. I eat this growing up, with lamb and rice
He said that one teaspoon was worth 4 cents. Every powder I find is a lot more expensive...
Dr Greger. I really appreciate your videos and even though I'm a meat eater (mainly fish and turkey) I'm learning alott from you. I have a question about this smoothy. You said Ripe mexican mango pulp. I've bought frozen mango slices to use instead. Would it be better to get the pulp because of the sugar content? I know blueberrys help counteract the sugar content of the mango but 11g of sugar per 80g serving is difficult to swallow :(! Also I have a question about Acai berrys, I'm looking to buy them in the UK and see many freeze dried and powdered products, how do I know they're safe for consumption? If you do answer my question I'll make sure I donate. Regards.
I'm not sure I exactly understan your question, however let me try to answer. Always better to get mango if it has no added (refined) sugar. Also Dr. Greger mentioned in one of the videos that it's mostly good to get frozen products as they are frozen when ripe and might have actually a higher vitamin content than fresh (but picked off-season, transported, etc). products.
Thank you for all the info. I am trying to switch over to a plant based diet but, have you seen the price of Fruit and veggies lately? It is hard to convince my wife of the benefits when cost shreds our food budget. Any suggestions?
Look for farmer's markets; if you go to them later in the day sometimes you can get good deals on foods because they have to sell all of the produce they have remaining. Another option if you go to Google.com and look for "fruit and vegetable wholesaler" often you can find wholesalers who will sell bulk fruit and veg for a good price, but they might have minimum orders or sell fruits/veg by the case so you'd have to eat lots of food. If there's extra you can always freeze it. Another option is look for a fruit and veg co-operative company in your area, they can often get you discounted fruit & veg. You can also try to buy frozen fruits and vegetables when they're on sale. Aside from fruits and vegetables, some extremely low-cost meal staples are beans, rice, and potatoes.
Richard, with all due respect, a pound of dried lentils or beans is $1 and will likely last you and spouse a good long time. A pound of brown rice is 88 cents...a pound of organic whole carrots is 89 cents (Trader Joe's or Walmart)...these are just a few examples of inexpensive whole plant foods...sweet potatoes too are usually very inexpensive...I can usually get 3 for $1 and I live in SW Florida. Good luck & keep trying! You might check out Jeff Novick's youtube on grocery shopping...he points out some very inexpensive ways to buy whole-plant foods.
Legumes (lentils, split peas, chickpeas, kidney beans ...), and grains (brown rice, oats ...) are cheaper than meat. Bananas are the cheapest fruit per calorie with dates being a close second. Cabbage is a cheap vegetable.
Clyde Rembrandt Clyde, right you are! Cabbage is cheap and packs TONS of nutrition...and keeps a good long time in fridge.
Try having one day a week where the family eats plant based... Buy fresh ripe in season fruit and veggies..... If you live near an Aldi, shop there. ....i started with changing my breakfast from egg sandwiches to banana, blueberry spinach smoothies. The cost of the smoothie was the same as the egg sandwich and coffee I used to get.
When you say "1500 units of antioxidant power," what does that mean exactly? How are these units measured/counted? Cheers.
He dumbs it down for ordinary people but on the top of the graph the unit is 10^-1 µmol, so 10^-7 mols
2 quick questions: Do the white tea leafs contain caffeine? Are there any reasons to NOT eat 1 tablespoon of amla?
When you say "Unsweetened soy milk" comparing the different breakfasts, the corresponding image is an almond milk package. So which one do you prefer Doc?
Doctor Gregor much gratitude and thanks Ever since I read your book How not to Die in 2018 I have changed my eating habits and follow your book n diet like my health bible Wish my fellow Indians adopted this way of eating
I love this channel!
Thank you! 🎉
great video! like always. what do you say to fresh amla berries? better than the powder? how much to eat?
Your face is glowing. Must be the antioxidants.
hahaha true
love your style
Dudes, the best option is to just grow your own (if you have space). once it's planted you need to do very little to it. The shrub lasts for years. Michael, questions! Are fresh just as powerful?
Why white tea leaves ? I thought you said Hibiscus Tea was best in your other video. I have some Hibiscus Tea brewing in the Sun now. I am about to sweeten it with chopped Dates, fresh grown Mint, Stevia Leaves, Lemon, and Basil.
***** I Agree with Blaze...keep up on it EVERYONE...stay TUNED to the research! It's all good as long as you support the SCIENTIFIC evidence!
Man does not live by hibiscus tea alone...
+Kurtis Tatsch "Brewing" tea in the sun can be potentially dangerous. The drying, processing, and storage of teas and herbs can allow contamination of bacteria from the droppings of birds, rodents, and insects that will not be killed if the brewing water is not heated to high temperatures...so cases of food poisoning have been traced to sun brewing.
+Calvin Burr ....I always let it brew over night on the kitchen counter...Taste better and higher antioxidants; same with Rooibos and Hibiscus. (usualy mixed altogether)
God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both Hibiscus and White Tea.
I want some of that purple stuff.
Jared Chan
Hehe
You mean blueb's... get them frozen, they're inexpensive.
I'm getting the Amla Powder for sure! I will also add the tea leaves! What a great idea!
Gigi Friedman what is white tea leaves
@@Kolian1274 Basically just tea leaves at their least processed. White, Green and black tea are made from the same 'Camellia Sinensis' plant; only white tea leaves are air dryed, green are fermented and dried and black are oxidised.

Is it safe to consume 100% amla powder sold as hair treatment?
LOL
What's more important: protein or antioxidants?
Hi, I just want to ask. For sickle cell disease. What food would you say are the best to eat?
From other videos, milk binds to antioxidants. Apparently both dairy and soy milk do this. Do we now need to avoid any kind of milk in smoothies and tea? And is there any kind of alternative, like almond or coconut milk? This is fundamental, given the importance of antioxidants
You can use almond milk because its essentially water + almonds..
I kind of thought that would be the case but why is soya used in a smoothie created to maximise antioxidants, if that is, it blocks antioxidants as it does in tea. Seems rather odd, don't you think? So hard to get an answer from anyone to do with nutritionfacts.org..
The picture in the video is of Almond Breeze- Maybe he made a mistake. Nonetheless, the rest of the ingredients provide so many antioxidants that it doesn't matter if some are bound by soy.
I feel like using water instead of milk doesnt change the taste much at all. I used to use rice milk but now just water and I don't miss it.
I feel like Marty McFly watching these old videos.... lol
Amla contains tannins, and these substances can interfere with mineral absorption, especially iron. Tannins also can bind alkaloid medications such as theophylline. Separate the ingestion of amla and iron or alkaloid medications by three to four hours.
Thanks to Dr. Greger I've gotten the custom of eating some Amla powder every day. It is very sour but a glass of water afterwards solves it.
I have just taken a tablespoon of chopped cloves - swallowed down like a pill with water. OK the taste is still in my mouth but it is not too unpleasant. Normally I only take a teaspoon this way but on hearing this video I thought I would make a point. I also take garlic and ginger the same way! I don't know if there is any reason I should not do this but if there is, I would like to hear it.
What were the two things with more antioxidants?
I looked into it and it seems Amla powder is only produced in India and because of that it probably contains lead and other heavy metals. Any way to get it from a country with strong regulations?
can't seem to be able to buy that in Austria / Europe
Try Amazon.com ? That's where I purchased mine.
How is the amla as far as oxalate content?
I got amla powder again after not taking it for 2 years and I forgot how powerful this stuff is for running, recovery is sped up!
Its Indian gooseberry. Get it from a local Indian shop for even less than that money.
Amla has a high concentration of vit c. Seems like it would be just as easy to add a 1/2 tsp of ascorbic acid (vit c) to your smooothie.
Swimbait1 ascorbic is not v C, muuuuuch less vit C from food
wow. sounds amazing
Ground tumeric, it is almost tasteless and you can add it to just about anything.
+optizap I can't taste it in small quantities either but I think you and I are in a minority!
im jealous because i can taste it. I put it in soup or other meals and to eat it every few days but never smoothie.
Dr please let me know if I can have amla powder if I have all my kidney functions normal but creating is within normal high range so I’m concerned Please can you advice
why is alma for external use mainly?
How do we know that so many antioxidants at once might not have an adverse consequence heretofore unknown?
Good question. We don't know because it's never been studied. We do know, or according to recent suggestions, that taking antioxidants in supplement form is not recommend. Of course a supplement is not the same as whole food. So the question begs, even in whole foods, is there such as a thing as too much of a good thing? Common sense would tell us yes. I'll skip the gooseberry powder and stick with blueberries myself.
Tom Jones I to had come across talk of too much antioxidants creating a pro-oxidant effect. Dr. Gregor missing this supposed fact however would really surprise me. Somehow I feel very safe following his advice and his own practice though I acknowledge he's no God and has been wrong in the past (hibiscus tea...).
login211 Yeah, I fell for that Hibiscus thing myself. Bought a whole bag of dried Hibiscus with the idea of making a potent antioxidant drink only to learn (thankfully BEFORE I opened the packaging) that it may come with a caveat (aluminum as I recall) anyway, I was able to return it for a refund since it was unopened. So I am thinking Dr Greger is an "early adopter" when it comes to science and about nutrition....also I notice, as he points out himself, many of his quoted studies are done on behalf of the food interests that the study is about....like blue berry studies funded by blueberry interests....still....and even though he is a vegan for reasons other than health, he does have the most information available, and I alone have probably enticed half a dozen people into buying his book, or at least reading a copy of it.
Tom Jones Just to be clear, hibiscus tea is fine but it can be overdone and you should not eat the leaves/flowers as Dr. Greger used to.
He does also take into account where the funding for the study came from in his analysis btw.
I trust the man, definitely a fan but not a fanboy.
He always provides the source of his information. Since he has a staff of ten just to be able to comb through all the scientific studies, he or they are able to filter out one-off studies versus peer reviewed double blind studies which are the benchmark for deciding what to believe.
Should fruit be eaten seperately? Or is it ok to mix banana and oranges in my cereal in the morning?
What about cornflakes and a bit of fruit
Important : Amla is not a gooseberry !! Amla grows on a tree that belongs to the family Phyllanthaceae. Gooseberries grow on a bush of the Ribes family. Amla is called a gooseberry because it looks like one, but it is not. This said, gooseberries are probably also very healthy, but not like amla.
Lord, I was born an amla man
Tryin’ to keep on livin’ takin’ all the antioxidants I can
When it’s time for juicin’ I hope you’ll understand
That I was born an amla man 🎶
You are a hero Sir!
Amla created stomach uclear for me
Powdered gooseberry,.... Is it vegan? Lol... Thanks for doing the research! Looking forward to adding it to my smoothie.
Where would one find the *Powdered Gooseberry?* Please and thank you 🙏🏼
They sell some at the Oriental store but I want to buy the right type! 😓
Curious, does your body need that many antioxidants? I am thinking that your body rids itself of excess vitamins. Would it do the same for antioxidants as well or can your body use as many as you give it? Smoothies are delicious but i like to chew food as well to feel satiated.
Antioxidants can be beneficial for cancer cells(deadly for us).
how are u calculating antioxidants in grams, µmole -> to -> Grams ... for an item..?
but what is the carb count of that smoothie?
you are the best!
I bought some amla powder for my hair by a company called hesh. Would it be safe to add it to my smoothie?
What about black rice for dinner? Crazy antioxidant count.
Other type of gooseberry provide similar benefits?
Amla is super food, i eat frozen one amla every day!!
Where can you buy indian gooseberries in the states?
I just ordered some off of Amazon
This ok for breastfeeding mums and babies?
How can I know I'm really buying Amla powder in that jar? Is there a safer/safest source to get it?
buy the whole frozen amla berries
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!
i would like to see some study showing exact amount of antioxidants people need. I think over boosting your antioxidant level will simply make you poop your antioxidants out.
I love pooping these days... not so much in the past.
i do have my amla powder now
I like the McDougall approach better.
Keeping it simple.
Great video
how can I tell my amla powder has any antioxidents ..I don't see any information on the package ?
Hi, Vrinda Bhalla! Depending on where you are buying it, that is not the kind of information generally required on packaging. We know that amla has a high antioxidant content because it has been..."put to the test!" If you're interested in the evidence, you can find all the articles mentioned in NutritionFacts videos by clicking the "Sources Cited" link below the video window on our website. You can find everything on our site related to amla here: nutritionfacts.org/topics/amla/ I hope that helps! -Christine Kestner, MS, CNS, LDN, NutritionFacts.org Health Support Volunteer
Why do we need antioxidants?
do you really need so many antioxidants?? and where do you get the white tea, i thought teas have the most pesticides
I started having this in the morning, but I have a question. I also add a scoop of protein powder, but I seem to recall seeing in one of your other videos that you don't use cow milk because it binds to the antioxidants making then unavailable. So does adding some whey have this same effect, or is it ok to use?
same effect because whey is made from cows milk. It's nasty stuff IMO if you really want protein powder I'd recommend hemp protein powder
That is true it does not contain caesin which has been shown to be troublesome for humans. Nevertheless it is still produced by milk which is, these days, full of antibiotics, hormones, blood and pus. For that reason I don't consider it clean or healthy at all.
Try Hydrolized whey. No lactose, 0 fats, 0 carbs. Much more healthy than milk and is not going to kill.you.
Instead of listening to this rubbish comments about whey protein, do your own research about hydrolized whey. In very few words, whey will help you to burn fat, increase lean mass amongother benefits. Search on pub med and make your own conclusions.
Dan Blaze that is very true and even from personal experience my immune system weakened when I used to take whey. I took it on and off to ensure that whey was the culprit and damn straight it was. I wonder why I used to pay so much money for something that has no benefit to me whatsoever lol. I bought in to the lies and the marketing!
No need to be bashful. You can still have pancakes and maple syrup with that smoothie!
You talk about indian gooseberries here, we don't have that in Eastern Europe but we have en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gooseberry it is native to Europe. To these have the same benefits as the Indian version ? they are not really bitter, except if harvested too early of course.
