I hear you loud and clear Dr. M. Before knowing you were already not taking supplements. I figured on my own long ago that anything artificial can't be a good thing. Thanks for clarifying it to be true. I am taking B12 as you have recommended. Keep preaching what you know. The world needs to know the truth
Everyone needs the no nonsense facts on supplements. Thank you, Dr. McD. 👏
Thank you!
Thanks for the excellent reminder!
Supplements should be taken once a month just incase, Carbs FTW!! 💪💪
Thank you very much Dr McDougall
Nutritional yeast has plenty of B12. It is tasty too!
Only fortified nutritional yeast has B12. Make sure to check the ingredients. They have to add cyanocobalamin for it to have B12, it's not produced by the yeast itself.
Not always. Many don't have it. The ones with b12 usually taste off
i prefer supp cause yeast are usually filled with salt
It's fortified, meaning they add it to the yeast.
Almost all nutritional yeast is fortified with synthetic vitamin, the worst of which is folic ACID ( as opposed to folATE , which is natural ) . Unless the label says " unfortified", that's what you're getting.
Clear as always
Actually B12 is fed to agriculture animals
Grassfed and grass finished cattle are not given any supplemental feed, only a salt block if cattle want it. Wild caught fish like sardines are not given any B12 or any other supplements. No living creature ever got any supplements except for factory farmed animals. A 1400 pound factory farmed cow might get 1000 mcg of B12 once every 2 or 3 weeks only if needed. Compare that to some humans who are 140 pounds and take 1000 mcg of B12 every day. In 1826 President John Adams was 90 and taking zero vitamins or supplements.
Thanks Doc, for the truth!😃💯

In Nz and Australia folic acid is added to bread !
Hello Dr. McDougall,
This got me wondering if for vitamin D, for people eating a starch based diet and living in the north, a uv lamp could help?
And another question I had was if vitamin D2 had the same bad effects of vitamin D3?
Since I use Nutritional Yeast in many of my meals I get all the B12 I need. It’s a great way to get B12 without buying supplements.
i prefer supp cause yeast are usually filled with salt
@@wellthi there is no salt in yeast,
@@MTDixonSr good for you in my organic store there is salt in it and the gluten free version is the worst at 7g
The B12 in yeast is added in.
@@Jeff-iz9hn yes it is…and?
If someone can't get enough Vitamin D from the sun, is it better to be deficient in Vitamin D instead of supplementing?
I have this same question,I live in the Northeast and our winters are long, hard to get enough sun when it's not out 👀
B12 makes all the difference. I tried vegetarian diets several times in my life. Everytime I suffered from severe aften in my mouth. Only when I take very high doses of B12, I will not be constantly suffering from aften. I still do every now and then, but a lot less than before and I at least have something to quicker cure from them (strepfen) so that is a lot better.
Now I am an obese vegan for 2 years and only this week found out about your book. I can't wait to finally get to normal weight and get rid of those damn bloodpressure pills. They are horrible and ruin my life. For some reason I adore beans and potatoes and was wondering why, and thought that it probably was bad for me so I was limiting this. Now I am going full on potatoes, rice and beans. Let's see what it brings.
I'd love to see a breakdown of this video: ruclips.net/video/Qf-eYhRhvMU/видео.html
These types of testimonies are popping up all over the internet, people saying how much better they feel on an animal based diet. How most of their health problems were fixed after a brief time on an animal based diet.

Dr Fuhrman has mentioned that Zinc is a weak-point of a vegan diet and recommends supplementing it. And the Nutritarian diet, even by Dr McDougall's standards, could be classified as healthy, correct? Is Dr Fuhrman full of it? Or does the Starch diet have an edge to the Nutritarian diet that increases the amount of Zinc consumed/absorbed?
Dr F sells supplements. Dr McD goes solely by peer reviewed studies.
I know that Dr. Fuhrman (whom I really admire) recommends zinc supplementation on a plant based diet but whenever I run my intake through cronometer, I seem to be getting plenty without any animal products or supplements. Maybe try using cronometer and see what your intake is like from food and just supplement if necessary. Just a thought.
@@lkuriskomd
As far as I understand, Zinc from plant sources is not as easily absorbed as from other sources, so Dr Fuhrman recommends a supplement, because it's hard to hit the actual needed intake.
Anecdotally, I hit over 100% of the RDI, according to Cronometer, but I had a diagnosed Zinc deficiency on a healthy vegan diet (well healthy is debatable, I guess, since I was Zinc deficient, lol).
Dr McDougall did actually address the Zinc issue in the livestream that was over a week ago, which I saw after I made this comment.
He says a Zinc deficiency is virtually unknown and people use it as an argument to get vegans to eat meat.
According to that logic, Dr Fuhrman is trying to get vegans to eat meat.
🤔
Could be a problem if you are a raw vegan (no cooked legumes).
But even raw vegan can reach adequate zinc level.
A Finnish study showed average zinc intakes of those on living-food diets (raw diet) to be 92 percent of the DRIs. Lab tests showed the Finns to have higher levels of antioxidant enzymes that depend on zinc, which the scientists took as an indicator of good zinc absorption from the sprouted and fermented foods in the diet.
@@wellthi
what is adequate? there's multiple studies indicating that zinc from plant sources is not as bioavailable and vegans might need up to 2x (edit: 1.5x) the RDI to reach the optimal intake of zinc. so in practice, the RDI for vegans and non-vegans is different.
supplements are intended to complement and correct minor nutritional deficiencies. certain 'supplements' in the context of plant-based nutrition cease to be supplements as such. unfortunately, they become the only source. if you combine that with ignorance and wrong advice, it can lead to very serious health issues. therefore, one should wisely decide who to trust and where to obtain the necessary knowledge.

@@robinrose507 sorry, we've already been through this.
please, don't get me wrong; does your condition limit you, either physically or mentally, to the point that you can only write a few words? my apologies if your replies take up too much of your energy.
Commercial food, including much of organic, is grown in very depleted soil and therefore many foods no longer contain the nutritional values about which you speak. You refer often in this video to large doses of supplements causing this and that but who is megadosing on their daily regimen? Not me. Oh, and by the way, somebody slung some do-do on the wall behind you.
If soil is depleted then how do the crops grow? If soil is depleted why are pest control companies thriving from all the bugs and insects reproducing like crazy and in such good health from eating the nutrient depleted soil while taking no vitamins or supplements?
A proverbial "has problem for every solution"
I don't understand how you can say, in the very same video, that vitamin B12 deficiency does not cause serious illness and then, only a few minutes later, say that pernicious anemia is more of an emotion than a reality. do you know that 'pernicious' means deadly?

@@Mrm1985100 well, the vid is made for STUPID vegans.

@@robinrose507 welcome to the party! we're still alive, aren't we?
If we need to take a b12 vitamin that seems to me that we should eat a little bit of meat. But not everyday though.
Not everyone does well eating meat (cholesterol, etc.), but some people also don't like harming animals or just don't like eating it. I'm happy to pop a b12 and skip meat.
it is true that meat contains B12, but vitamin B12 supplements are not a substitute for meat. meat contains over fifty thousand compounds and is a rich source of protein, which an ordinary pill of vitamin B12 can't provide. eat meat. not too little. mostly fat.
if it's no longer on our food that just mean we need to find the cheapest, safest, easiest way to add it back, so definitely not meat
@@wellthi you've got it upside down, kind of. vitamin B12 is still present in our food. the issue is that some people, for religious reasons, do not eat vitamin B12-rich foods, such as meat.
@@v.a.n.e. I don't consider meat an healthy food anymore and 33% of meat eater are still b12 deficient
