Isn't it great how transparent dr. Gregor is about changing his mind! Something quite rare to see as other medical professionals strive to protect their ego. Props!
Hey doc :) been vegan for six months and ive reduced my total cholesterol by 100 points. This lifestyle is a miracle
When Dr. Greger said "we'll find out" I was like fuaarrk but when he said now I was so happy lol
HAHAHAHA yeah I loved that cliffhanger fake-out!!!!
Same XD love it
My heart sunk when he said that. My avocado toast was on the line, but my toast is redeemed!
Aga Jafarli lol me too! I was like NOOO and then YEEESS
He knew that! hahaha
"You don't inject guac into the vein." I don't think you fully understand how a vegan addiction works Dr. Gregor.
DomSchu I thought I was the only one
😂
LOL
DomSchu vegan addiction 😆 ❤️
Too funny! 😂😂😂
As a California resident, you had my questioning my very existence for 6 whole minutes until you dropped that bombshell. Viva el agucate!
Totally feel yuh... I grew up in Fallbrook where we had 2 acres of them.
"Guacamole with benefits" omg. 😂 I'm loving the jokes in the videos lately.
Keodl Ofnew "Friends with benefits"
Love isn't always pretty. Love can be messy. But love is always beautiful even if it is a hairy butt squeezing out pieces of avocado.
@@julessssssss8597 He's calling up a mental picture of a man using an avocado sexually. There is a kind of mind that thinks that's funny or clever or sexy or something. Just to be clear: I'm not one of them.
I have been eating avocados daily for about 8 months, so i am glad it's good for me.
I was awaiting this avocado verdict more eagerly than America was awaiting the OJ verdict in the 90s.
Spoiler alert! Avocados are great for prostate cancer both externally and internally. There are a few side effects tho... Avocado consumption is also associated with improved artery function and lower cholesterol so watch out for those two!
You gave the plot away.
Sacratease 5:47 answers to your question 😉
+Sacratease At least you're very photogenic!
Not a spoiler alert to give us the useful info with out 6+ minutes of bullshit.blah blah..

thank god avocados are okay. i'm still recovering emotionally from the loss of rice in my diet.
Wency Chan who says u must give up rice? If u steam it and have it with steamed veggies and no oil or sugar then it’s acceptable.
check out dr. greger's series on arsenic and rice. i haven't completely cut it out (eat it once-twice a week maybe?) but it use to be my everyday lunch and dinner staple.
You can still eat rice. There's no need to be a perfectionist. Just avoid rice grown in the American south and don't eat rice meals daily and you're fine. If anything the results showed no strong indication of increased risk despite the high levels of arsenic.
I went with barley and avocado and I'm enjoying both ;)
Ruth Shaw wait what?? Really ???? Where did he say that?
who else got emotional when it got moved back to the green zone :')
I cried tears of joy for 5 minutes.
N M
Perhaps I was joking, but it goes to show I like my avocadoes. They don't get mad at me like my girlfriend does when I tell them they are the good kind of fat.
Baby Chicks Dig Vegans 😂😂
So I guess avocado is also beneficial to the humor cells 😉
SPOILER ALERT NEEDED HERE
Avocados are OK? holy guacamole Batman that was close!
FOR NOW! :))))
Thanks for the emotional rollercoaster! I was so mad for a sec at that fake cliffhanger. Ha!

It’s pretty funny. An omnivore will eat a burger with bacon, cheese and a slice of avocado, the avocado being the healthiest thing on the plate. A plant based eater has to be concerned about the dangers of eating avocados. Perspective please.
Terry Magram omnivorous? You mean dog, reckon, bear?
a human person eating like a dog or bear make them all 3 omnivores yes
Family Matters even it’s grass feed or wild it’s still not healthy for human.
Please don't tell lies.
If you really want animal protein , why cant you go for Omega3 fish or low fat chicken/turkey sans the fatty skin and marrow ? It doesn't have to be grass fed anything . Mammalian protein ( including Milk protein) is much more pro inflammatory than all other kinds of animal protein , even if FAT content is same. The lean animal protein will still supply a generous amount of D3/B12 , taurine, carnosine while not as bad as Mammal protein and mammalian blood sugars (Alpha 1,3 Gal) .
Yay! Every time I have fed my 9 month old avocado I would think about Dr. Greger's suggestion not to over due it... but with only 4 and a half teeth, feeding her plant based, and holding off on grains for a bit there are only so many high calorie foods to give her. I'm so relieved!
I follow a few “plant based” families on RUclips, who have young children, & they offer amazing inspiration plus delicious recipes: SHINE WITH PLANTS, EAT MOVE REST THE STANCZYKS. Hope this helps. Be well. 🌱😷🙏
what an emotional roller coaster
😂 thank you!
Haha truth
I wonder if at home Dr Greger's wife asks...
.
"Michael, where are the car keys?"
.
Dr Greger: "so are the car keys in the living room, or the kitchen? We'll find out...
.
Mrs Gregor: "...Michael?"
.
Mrs Greger: "Mike..."
.
Mrs Greger: "MICHAEL JOHN GREGOR IVE TOLD YOU ABOUT THIS! WE AGREED THAT THIS STAYS IN YOUR VIDEOS! I HAD TO WALK 32 MILES TO WORK YESTERDAY!!"
.
Dr Greger: "right now"
.
.
Mrs Gregor: "so?!"
.
.
Dr Gregor: "according to a recent double blind study on cruciferous vegetables, the keys are in my pocket."
.
Mrs Gregor: 🙄
Genius.
You didn't know if I had the keys..... until now
This is genius! :-)
Are these the correct car keys? LETS PUT THEM TO THE TEST.
This is pure gold 😅
What a relief, I eat avocados six days a week! Love the taste of them.
this makes me soooo happy!!! I'm an avocado addict!
I was so scared to watch this! After you told me my brown rice was bad I was terrified you'd take away my avocados! What a relief that wasn't the case! Breakfast can continue as planned!
'We'll find out...right now!'. Totally got me ;)
Great! I eat one avocado a day 😎 Lars
I don't 😎
Even when they're out of season?
Isn't that too much fat.
Judy Law no. Why would eating an avocado a day be bad? You don't need to worry about fat as long as you are eating whole food and are healthy.
Judy Law I don't cook food which have higher fats in them though because I heard it was bad to cook fat.
Thank you Dr Greger, I am so very happy you made this video. I have been quite concerned about the levels of oil in avocados and memories of your previous avocado videos have haunted me. Despite this, I somehow could not resist having avocado toast on a regular basis. Being vegan with as little oil and processed foods as possible is tough enough without giving up avocados also. Thanks again, I will not feel so guilty about my avocado toast anymore. Yippy!
Avocados are everything!! Kind of expensive but worth every penny!!! ❤️👍🏻🌻🌞
Worth every penny...for sure....but 3 years since your comment (with unemployment & amid a pandemic), it would be great if they were less expensive. Too bad Walmart stopped price-matching last year. I actually used to price-match them all the time, so instead of paying (the usual) $1.50 to $2.50 per avocado, I used to get them for .50 cents/each for many years. 🥑 Be well. Stay safe. 😷
hello i am a microbiology science student and i love everything you do!i can relate all your scientific research papers to my knowledge as well to make more sense out of what you are explaining. you really are an inspiration to my life in the nutrition area. thank you for all your work and effort throughout the years! you are awesome!
All of the avocados that I eat, this is great news. I have heard that is one of the most nutrient-rich foods on the planet. This video just confirms that it is a good practice to eat them regularly. Thanks.
This confirms my bias towards avocado because of my love for guacamole, so I will thumb up.
I can't wait for my neighbors avocado tree to ripen!!
Excellent I have been eating them for years! With very good results to health!! One of my favorite foods!!🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑😋
What a roller coaster ride of a video!! My emotions were all over the place!
Interesting what you said about high protein diets and autism. It got me to thinking-- it was pointed out to me by my parents that a high protein diet is proving to help children with epilepsy (at The Charlie Foundation for Ketogenic Therapies).I looked through your videos, and your book, “How Not to Die,” however, didn’t find anything about this epilepsy and high protein connection. Please do a video on it🙏🏼 I would love to throw that back at my family members (some who are also doctors). Thanks for all you do, Dr. Greger!💚
I really wish Dr. Greger would do a series examining high fat vs. low fat plant-based diets for weight management. I assume his upcoming book will handle that ("How Not to Diet" is the title, I think); but I have always wanted to know what the science really shows in this regard.
Congratulations! With this video, you've managed to retain the Millennial cohort of your viewers, Dr. Greger.
Greg Video! It would be wonderful if Dr. Gregor could also take a look at Spirulina again in light of new studies showing the benefits & additional studies showing limited risk of microcystins, etc.
Watching Dr. GREGOR nutritionfacts videos and reading comments is more entertaining than TV.
The more I watch this man the more excited I get about a plant based way of eating!
Brought to you by the avocado and toast industry
Millennial as it might be, avocado on toast (Dave's Killer Bread comes to mind) is fantastic.
wutup5566 wow, thats great! I’d rather have working convicted felons than felons making money from crime or me paying taxes for incarceration. Thanks for sharing👍🏼
wutup5566 Does home invasions, or did home invasions? There's a huge difference.
I'm sitting on an avocado as I game at my pc. I dont know about the prostate benefits, but my scores have never been higher!! 🤓
As I put avocado into my blueberry, banana cacao smoothie with a big smile on my face. Never gave on you Avo:)
Thank you for everything, Doctor Gregor! Your videos just keep getting better, and this one had me laughing out loud!
Dr. Greger! What a provocative title! My first thought was "oh no he didn't!!!!"
That almost cliffhanger... Lol
Outstanding benefit in these studies for people concerned about avoiding esophageal and colon cancers, and a round of applause for not only the avocado but cranberry, as well. At 3:24, an amazing fluorescence study of oral cancer cells shows how thoroughly avocado eliminates cancer cells, which ought to interest current or former users of tobacco products. .
* BTW, at 00:44, what happened to the pet bird given "part of an avocado" before showing symptoms? How can a bird GI be de-toxified? This information could be helpful to pet bird owners with an unfortunate tendency to share human food with the wrong animal-- which happens too often with dogs and cats, as well.
I would love to see Dr. Gregger’s analysis of avocado oil for cooking and baking.
love you dr.gregor!!
Best news ever! Now if we can figure out how to drop the price of avocados then I'd be in Paradise!
Hi doctor. Thanks for all the videos learned a lot. Could you make videos of gum disease, throat, and lung for ex smokers please? Or where would I get this information? The information you have is very difficult to find online through Google and I have some throat, lung, and gum discomfort. Thanks for all the great content. I will be buying your next updated book.
your fun videos make me chuckle, thank you for the information, it's game changing!
Are the omega 6 fatty acids in them a health risk? Dr Greger, will you ever do a video on the ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 and whether this is a major health concern? Should omega 6 in large volumes be avoided?
Whew. I needed this video. Not that I have stopped stuffing my face with avo since your last avo video but now I am doing it with more enthusiasm. :D
Thank you! I love Avocado, and don't like cancer, so this video is in my green zone! Now can you update your findings on Soy? I can find equally strong research showing Soy is either good for you, or will kill you, with equal success. McDougall’s Moments: The Truth About Soy freaked me out!
We'll find out...
..RIGHT NOW!
Loved the video, thanks, Doc! :D
Yes, when in season. Sorry i am a fellow starchivor, not 100% McDougall, but i do have a handfull nuts and seeds every single day, but when it comes to avocados only when in season in the island where I live :)
Yeah! You and Steven Gundry agree on something. So happy to hear.:)
I guess for Esselstyn, restricting avocados makes sense for people who have done too much damage to their arteries? Wow, not being able to eat nuts, seeds, and avocados?! It truly is great to be a young healthy person, but it does show us we have to be responsible with are bodies if we wish to enjoy these little morsels from on a regular basis.
Good point, I've wondered about this as well. Could Esselstyn and McDougall be wrongfully disregarding nuts, seeds and avocados, or is there really a benefit to avoiding those? It seems all research points towards them lowering cholesterol and whatnot, so it's hard to imagine them being harmful, aside from possibly contributing to weight gain if you don't burn enough calories.
I think another problem Esselstyn has with avocados besides them being high fat is the unfavorable balance of omega 6s and 3s.
@@philddlesticks what did you say and speak english I dont get what you say AT ALL
The percentage of Calories from FAT is too high to justify eating it regularly or in large amounts. Given that FAT ( & Fructose righ sugar) has damaging effects compared to Starch ( Low Fructose and No FAT )
Thank you for doing the research so we don’t have to. It’s very much appreciated doc
Advocados were on sale which usually last the whole week, but I took cashews as a creamy base instead cause I just ran out...
This is good news. I love avocados
Avocados are pretty high in saturated fat so I am surprised you didn’t mention that like you did with coconuts
if you eat like zero saturated fat from plant sources, that is bad just like eating too much saturated fat from animal sources in my opinion. the studies show avocado, nuts and seeds improve health and longevity, and they have saturated fat. do not exclude the healthy things because of one micronutrient! it is about the diet and lifestyle as a whole.
Oh no. I'm afraid to watch. They better be healthy, dammit!
Mike Gibson yes they are lol even healthier than we thought.
Waited for this video for years! :D thank you for finally giving the green light again for eating avocados
Nice! They're on sale where I am too... I know the science goes back and forth so I can appreciate the Doc moving the warning in kind. That's how it goes. I'd rather be informed than not.
Looks like Avos back on the menu boys! 😎
Avocados are life. 🙌 I haven't finished the video yet, but I'm hoping for good news.
Sometimes nutritionfacts.org is almost too scientific. But I still love it
This video was a scary rollercoaster ride with a happy ending.
I love his sense of humor.
Watching whilst having avocado sushi ;) 🌱
+cratanoia eid nog u
Dr. Gregor made me laugh at 6:20 "We'll find out......right now!" I was expecting the usual teaser leading to my having to find the follow-up video. Great news on the avocado; I think most of us are relieved to find it IS part of a healthy diet.
I still prefer consuming my avocado rectally!
😂
here's my after dinner desert about 1.5hrs after dinner. 3 pineapple rings,4to6 oz sourkrout , and half a avocado with red hot sauce. it's magic. plus apple cider vinegar and honey at bed time tryit
I love your presentation! Thank you so much Dr. Greger!
Yesssss! Brilliant news Dr Greger, I love Avocados. Thanku for all your hard work. Made an emense difference in my life, thanku.
Excellent video Doc. Thank you! I still remembered the last one about this Guaca issue and it left me wondering. Good that you updated it. :)
Let the wonderful news be spread!!! Avocados, dear friends, are not to dread!!
Yassssss I was being worried about avocados for a while not eating them too much but now I'm going to be eating more
Dr Gregor, you are the BEST! This is the best news I’ve ever heard! :D :D
Hey Dr. Greger,
Looking forward to your cookbook, which I've preordered already. I appreciate this video, but I have a request for a future video. Can you do some research on Black Seed Oil, Black Cumin, when you get some time. I found a lot of beneficial advice, claims and product plugging, but no studies or evidence linking such extracts to health benefits. Hope you're well, and as always we all appreciate what you do.
I love avoc mixed in with quinoa and black beans.
Haha. You tease me there I thought you'd level is without the answer at the end. I laughed so hard when you said "RIGHT NOW".
I have been waiting for this response for a long time. I'd always ask it on your live streams, so thank you.
Talk about "playing with our emotions." But I loved it. Hell of a ride! 👍
Dr. Greger, first, thank you for all your work and the knowledge you spread with us. I've been a devoted follower for years and immensely appreciate everything you do. I was diagnosed with high cholesterol (and pre-diabetic) nearly 2 years ago (currently 36 y/o) and been on a mission to change my faith and get off statins, as I'd hate to be on pills. High Cholesterol and Diabetes runs in my family. I was asked to post under one of your videos, maybe you can offer some advise. from Aug-Oct 2017 I was on a strict plant based diet (super super clean, nutrition + healthy and loving it) but to my surprise my cholesterol #'s were back to my very initial blood test when I was first diagnosed. My trig # is the biggest surprise as it shot up higher than before. Part of me thinks maybe the statins changed my body chemistry in some ways that I'm now prone to having these elevated numbers even if I keep the healthiest food regiments. I'm now back on statins + continuing to eat whole plant based foods. Am I cursed with the need to take statins forever, or is there hope? Would LOVE to hear your thoughts. The numbers to all my lab tests can be found here: prntscr.com/h1688t
Maybe you should say what exactly you're eating/doing instead of just saying "super super clean"? Also, he doesn't answer questions on RUclips, try posting it on his website, ask him during one of his Q&A sessions, or simply write him a mail.
I just stumbled randomly across the old avocado video about the natural toxin it has.. I'm so happy this was recommended right after. I'm back to eating avocados again, not that I ever stoped lol I was worried there for a second
Dr. G what would we do without you?
In the 1970s I was living in a house with an awesome avocado tree- but was told to not eat them because of the fat they contained. I let them rot on the ground. Wish I had them now!
The study on avocado eaters in Jamaica could simply show that even though the fruit does not promote cancer cell development, its cancer "killing" character might be due to displacement of other more damaging foodstuffs.
Would you be able to comment and share some knowledge about the avocado seeds that are in trend as healthy too ? Sincerely appreciate and admire your work.
I'm crazy about how the doc says these complex facts..
tnx Doc, that you read all that med texts for us... i could but it would drive me nuts... thank you for the service
They go great everywhere mayo once went.
This is good news because I love the taste of avocados.
Few... I ate an avocado daily, even the avocado seed... For like 1 year and no problem so far
Is it possible that a video be done on Avocado Oil. Many videos done on all other types of oil, but I have found none dealing with Avocado Oil. Thanks.
The study that showed men who ate avocados were less likely to get prostate cancer, that avacado eating group were perhaps just a more vegtable in general eating group.
Glad to hear this. I love avocados. Thank you for the video.
Dr. Essleytyn, for CAD reasons, says no avocados. Hmm? Omega 6 to omega 3 ratio acceptable? good video.
At least that's ONE thing we are permitted to consume.
Now I just need to wait for avocado season...
finally I didn;t eat avacado's for many years! j/k been having 3/4 a week for the past years :P
what about using avocado oil in cooking?
Thank you I eat one a day.
