Dr Greger, my husband is 59-years-old. In April of this year he underwent open heart surgery for blocked arteries. He has also been diagnosed pre-diabetic, has diverticulosis, has lupus, has rheumatoid arthritis and hypertension. All of his doctors said diet has little or nothing to do with his diseases and that all his diseases are incurable. After studying you, Dr McDougall, Dr Barnard and Dr Esselstyn, we eliminated red meat and dairy 4 months ago. Two weeks ago we became strict vegans. My husband's angina and shortness of breath are completely gone. He threw away his methotrexate and prednisone. He goes to the gym four hours a week and has lost ten pounds so far. I doubt he will need his lisinopril a year from now. I'm positive he won't need stents down the road. Veganism is nothing short of a miracle.
Dr. Michael Greger has the BEST nutrition presentations I have ever seen! He should win a Nobel prize for public health awareness.... but the Swedes consume way too many animal products for that to ever happen. Thank you Dr. Greger! Your work will become legendary! In a world where people read less and less, and where videos can better educate than books, you are a nutritional Rock Star!
Please don´t be so ignorant, Sweden has nearly twice as many vegetarians per capita than USA and also generally consumes less animal products. There is no Nobel prize for public health awareness, only for medicine, which is given to people who have contributed to important medical discoveries. While this presentation is great, Greger is just quoting different scientific research that supports his theories and haven't done all the hard work himself.
Another awesome video. Been eating a whole foods, plant-based vegan diet for almost a year and a half now and I've never felt better. Not only for the physical benefits but knowing that I'm reducing my carbon foot print and giving animals a fighting chance. Going vegan is the best thing to do for yourself, for others, and for the planet.
Cristina Basile AGREED! It's a WIN-WIN-WIN situation...our health wins, the animals win and our planet wins! I'm 57 about to turn 58 and feel awesome every single day...went 100% plant based 5 years ago. LOVE this way of living and eating!
Cristina Basile Yes Cristina, in support of your mind set about being a vegan and the power of nutrition to help our bodies heal, most people don't know that seeds have up to 30% more nutrition in the seed than in the plant or fruit. So I invite you to take a few minutes to research this one seed formula that was about 20 years of research to formulate. Dr Leonard's main reason for creating this formula was to help children coming from chemo and radiation. Google ( seed nutrition recover health now ) I have taking this formula because 18 months ago I had extreme chronic left shoulder pain, which I no longer have. Thank you so much Dr Greger for your dedication and your passion for empowering people for better health naturally.
***** Just say no. I don't eat junk food and don't even think about eating it anymore. Just be sure you eat enough calories throughout the day. Don't deny yourself starches as desired - just try to keep it low fat, whole food, and plant based (e.g. all the brown rice you want).
***** drown yourself in oatmeal! Organic overnight oats (no instant, no 2 minutes oats) + water in a blender. Add organic whole raw sugar or maple sirup. 300-500 g raw oats per day (equals about 2 liter / 0.5 US gal of oat drink). Will cure all your cravings :)
Jordan Hancock Seriously why are you getting so angry over a youtube comment, all he did was say he enjoys the doctors lectures. Go get angry at something that matters.
Jordan Hancock but I never said you were in the Scoliosis Research Society, it would be fine if you were though, thats a great thing to do with your time.
EveryThingTech Yay! Congrats! Making the change, it really helps to have a supportive family. Get your family to see this info too. I didn't expect it but all but one of my close family went plant-based with me! And we're still incredibly happy about the change a year later. (Although I still have to remind them to eat their greens from time to time.)
I was eating a typical bodybuilder diet. lots of eggs, meats, protein powders. I thought it was healthy! That's what the bioscience out there says to do. Unfortunately I fell for it. Everyday was a struggle. yeah I was big and strong but I felt like crap! Extremely moody and tired all the time. I had to drink caffeine constantly. Also my joints hurt and it was difficult to simply go up stairs. Weighting in at 275lbs I finally came to my senses. Did a complete 180 with my diet. Fruits, Veg, beans, rice,lentils, bread is the answer. The food is delicious and I've been losing fat effortlessly. The best part though is the clarity and energy that I now have. I went it without much knowledge. I didn't even know "plant based" was a thing. These videos are a great asset to learning more about this new lifestyle. Thanks Doc!
+John Jury WAY to go! This lifestyle agrees with me too! At 58, I feel great every single day! I donate blood 4 or 5 times each year too & have never been turned away!
+TenHanded, it means you eat as many WHOLE vegetables and fruits, legumes, whole grains nuts and seeds in their natural form as possible...little or NO highly processed junk foods....no meats/chicken/fish/dairy.
valnaples - Thankyou. Sorry for sounding stupid, but does "whole" just mean like a carrot or apple as they are? And how many would I need to eat per day?
Michael Janavel The poison is in the dose. Eat too much kale is bad for you too. Lots of studies that show some animal sources in the diet are healthy.
Michael Janavel Same here. His video 'Uprooting the leading causes of death' convinced me to go vegan 13 months ago. Before i went vegan i was 20kg over weight and had prediabetes. Eating a high carb low fat whole foods diet fixed all of that :)
Serena Watson-Follett I send this talk to all my friends and family!! all we can do is share the info, but it's up to others to receive it and learn something from it!!
I don't mind dying; I just don't want it to be my fault. Again this year, you have out done yourself. I love these yearly speeches and all the tidbits every day all year long. Thanks for encouraging me to stay in the game.
If there is one person that can cut through this ridiculous world of nutritional advertising, lies, pseudoscience, ego, close-mindedness, and ignorance it is Dr. Greger. Thanks Dr. Greger for all that you give.
Instead of arguing against the opinion of dr Gregor you are doing attack on Gregors personality, that's wrong. Give some evidence in support of your views instead of using dirty language
I was just thinking about a t-shirt with Dr. Greger on it. Most people would be thinking "why does he have a picture of a middle-aged bald guy on his t-shirt?" while the vegans would be thinkings "Hell yeah, rock star!".
I've been an environmentally conscious vegetarian for 8+ years...Dr. Greger took it to a whole other level.I'm vegan now...many thanks. Forks over Knives too. spread the word.
I think you made an innocent and unnecessary mistake. I spelled his name correctly..."Dr. Greger took it to a whole other level.I'm vegan now..". You know...even if I did spell his name wrong, your approach wasn't so gentle...do you teach the 2nd grade or something?
Dr Greger has changed my entire perspective on nutrition and it will NOT be a stretch to say he has changed my life for the better!!! I'm going to spread this message FAR AND WIDE! My mission as a vegan is to prevent gratuitous suffering due to bad nutrition amongst near and dear!
Your videos keep motivating me to stay vegan and make healthy choices. I can't even explain how much impact they have on me and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Thank you for the great work you do!
Most certainly STAYING vegan / plant-based forever. Dr. Greger is my hero NutritionFacts.org :) THANK YOU SO MUCH !!! YOU SAVE ALL KINDS OF LIFE ON THIS EARTH :) So going to buy the book!
+hammypie Yep. :) nutritionfacts.org/book/ I think it's going to be a huge one. All the science for a vegan diet in your backpack! :D Thanks to our great broccoli doctor. :)

Watching for several years, pissed me off at first, he dosen't like beer. Now he beat me into submission with his big hammer of facts. Doc, glad to have you.
I can not tell enough how much I LOVE Dr. Greger! I've had a terrible day and his last speech has been the only thing giving me hope and putting a smile upon my face. Thank you SOOO much dear Dr. Greger and his crew and all the vegans out there who are trying to spread this important message! ❤❤❤❤❤ Love you all!!!
Well presented. I'm not 100% there with veganism, but finding that the closer I get, the better I feel and look, the better my stats are, and I actually enjoy the food more.
well I guess this explains my kidney stones.... I used to eat loads of meat and dairy daily.Thank you for taking the time to put together this information its really helped form a solid opinion on my diet choices.
I was scouring the internet for random things tonight. It started of with area 51 then the Hubble telescope then JWST. I googled aliens and contemplated our location on a big floating space rock in the middle of nowhere. Browsing the Fermi paradox left me depressed and lonely.I later somehow found this channel. I used to think vegetarians and vegans are idiots and food is food. Eat anything in moderation. Oh how wrong I was. I've been ill-informed but no anymore. I'm going vegan(I may still eat fish once or twice a week but I'm staying away from anything that comes from cows(including milk),pigs,chickens etc. I'm not doing this to be accepted into some group or adopt a feeling of superiority,thus looking down on other people that do eat meat. I'm doing this for my own well being.
Perfect! Wish you the next step to find how you was wrong with prejustice that most of vegans do it due "to be accepted into some group or adopt a feeling of superiority,thus looking down on other people that do eat meat"
Thank you, Dr Greger for your passion and diligence to get this vital message across! I have shared this and am happy to see over 67,000 have viewed this since Aug 3. This is awesome! I will take it to heart and hope all others will, too!
Doctors like this, that are willing to go againts the majority to tell the truth and save lives are such a blessing! Even the fact that his earnings go to charity show his intentions are to help and not to become rich, he is so selfless and an incredible human being! thank you for sharing this information for free, God bless you.
I am a doctor myself, and the majority of doctors agrees on that fruits and veggies are healthy and that meat (especially processed, red meat) is bad for you. There might be some disagreement on just how bad meat is or how strict you should be, but there is a consensus that people are eating too much meat and that they should reduce their intake. So Greg is not going against the majority, basically all doctors are trying to make patients eat more fruits and veggies.
Absolutely fantastic speech. What a brilliant, charitable and generous man Dr Greger is in putting this all together for us. Lifetime subscriber! Thank you Dr Greger!
An incredible resource of information! I was searching for the optimal diet for my wife who has a genetic kidney disease and after watching and studying the information provided by Dr. Greger realized that the optimal diet is the same for all of us! It is awe-inspiring to know we can take control of our health so simply -- but finding the information to educate oneself has been seemingly elusive.......UNTIL NOW :) Share this w/ all your loved ones and brainstorm ways you can help spread this critical information -- family, friends, facebook, church, school. Thank you and ENJOY!
Thank you Dr.Greger. Your NutritionFacts videos are always on target and your work is absolutely necessary to clarifying the noise surrounding diet in the western world today.
Dr. Greger is amazing always based on hard science and always shows the research documents he's referencing so you can look them up and read the whole paper.
I have so much respect and adoration for Dr Michael Gregers intelligence and his big passion for health.... I can't stop watching his videos...lol,.... he is so amazing!
I have fatty liver and trying to reverse it, of course exercise and losing weight can help reverse it but I've been told a low carb type diet can help as high carb foods like bread, crisps and other garbage will when ingesting be converted to fat in the liver, I tried keto but after a few days felt terrible, bloated, had indigestion, headaches after a few days stopped and had a cereal/fruit meal and had a massive rebound of energy which was great I went for a walk even though it was 11pm at night. A natural Dr advised me to ingest amino acids in foods, for example eggs which have choline which is very important for liver health, amino acids are needed for phase I and II liver detox system to work properly. You need to eat fats in order for the gallbladder to empty bile/cholesterol sludge right? But the McDougall diet for example says not to eat any fat or oils. I thought about trying a vegan keto type diet, but then I'd have to buy into the Keto idea that keto starves cancer by limiting glucose availability for cancer to grow, but cancer first of all can make glucose on its own to survive but now to grow I believe and it uses not only glucose, but glutamine, vit C etc I believe. Plants and fruits even though have glucose they have important phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals and so whatever diet we do the plants form a basis for many of these healthy diets, keto people also eat many healthy veggies and some low carb fruits such as berries, vegans/vegetarians eat plants of course and even people on the SAD diet eat veggies and fruits and the more they eat the healthier they are and so are advised to get their quota of 5 to 9 a day! I tell you I have tried a few weird diets and fasting as well, I have been taking 2 meds for 20yrs, since my fatty liver diagnosis I realised I will have to amongst other things (exercise, low BAD carb healthy diet, plus liver friendly diet,meditation etc) stop taking these meds (Prilosec and Paxil) Now I have reduced Paxil from 20mg to 5mg and this believe me has been tough, but I'm still on 20mg Prilosec this I believe is because I'm still too heavy ... a few months ago I was 115kg (BMI - 35.1) now am 102kg (BMI-31.5) my aim is to get to my ideal weight which is 73kg (BMI-24) and so this is why I tried the keto, I did lose weight cause I felt sick:/ And so I was told to eat eggs cause they are healthy for the liver and eating protein in every meal, I assume in order to keep me full and avoiding higher carb foods which are supposed to convert to fat in the liver as this is what I need to avoid, I don't want more fat in my liver. Can any guys give me advice on my condition? I tried keto and it didn't work for me cause the higher intake of chicken, butter etc did not agree with my stomach cause I'm taking Prilosec which reduces stomach acid and one needs acid in the stomach in order to digest them, digesting carbs is much easier (for me at least) and partially done with saliva in the mouth even, I believe. The keto made me feel like not eating anything not even snacks, this also made me avoid breakfast and lunch cause I wasn't hungry, great right? Short feeding window (intermittent fasting success) but that meant that I stayed without taking meds for longer or this is the mistake I made, I didn't take the meds until I ate my breakfast which was around 4pm so this is probably my mistake but anyway I felt horrible and it got boring real quick. Also for people who have depression/anxiety problems do well on carbs, seeing as you need serotonin rich foods and then high carb meal in order to absorb other amino acids that would otherwise compete with tryptohan nd not allow its absoption in the brain. Help please, not sure what to do.
***** Thankyou very much Arya, I suppose the reason I haven't contacted him is cause I don't have much money to pay as I am sure these guys charge for consultations, but maybe I should email him, I could be a great testimnial for him, lol. Thanks I know of the site and have two of his books, I am driking veggie/friuts juicing and potatoe in the evening, I wanted to do juice fast for as long as possible and then doing a spud fast (potato/sweet potatoes).
***** Thanks Clarissa, I try to eat mainly organic but manage to eat maybe 50 to 80% organic, I drink evian water but started dinking bottled mineral water (in glass bottles) but yeah maybe I should get a reverse osmosis machine or maybe a water distiller machine? I just wanted to say that in fish you get mercury and your theory of toxins and fat people sounds interesting. If we tested most foods even organ you would find heavy metals and toxins inside them, brocolli has carcinogens, plants must have mercury, and bone broth that many are touting has lead - even organic bones, so it isnt easy to avoid these toxic substances, Im not saying that these substances are there in large amount but if you look for them you'll probably find them, imagine ... inside the carrot juices that we drink are toxins, wow. Greeting from London, UK. :)
***** Thanks Clarissa, Good points,I agree with you of course. I was just saying it is very interesting that in most food there are some toxins, I found that for example bone broth soup which many drs and gurus say is great for healing the gut has heavy metals like LEAD in it and that is if you use organic bones as well. Oh here in London its raining :(
What a heroic person. One of the best and most important lectures I have ever seen. What if this talk was rotated among the top 10 television stations so that once a week it was aired on one of them, in perpetuity. I think it would have a big impact on our meat infused diet and save tens of thousands of lives, and many more animal lives. I'm gonna watch it again!
Dr. Gregor, you are so awesome! Thanks for yet another highly interesting and entertaining speech! I´d love it if you could talk about hashimoto thyreoiditis and if it can be healed by a plant-based diet
I can't believe I watched the entire duration of the video. Needless to say, great video. Also, I adore the way you simplify and deliver such complex information.
I love all of your content watch every video and when you went into detail about cigarette industry tactics as they relate to the modern animal infustry you think i would have been prepared but it still hit me like a slug to the chest. Very powerful stuff thank you for all that you do.
Excellent! What a great speaker, to the point and backed science. This man did all the work everyone wished they did, all in one place, all in this video. Amazing.
Thank you so much Dr Greger. Another great talk that I can pass on to others. Like all your information this one is much needed and I will be watching this one several times.

No one gives more factual, evidence-based, useful health information than Dr. Greger. And, he entertains you at the same time. THE BOSS.
This man is doing a HUGE service to humanity!
A True Doctor, not a pill pusher for pharma.
HUUUUUUUUGE

Dr. Michael Greger has the BEST nutrition presentations I have ever seen!
He should win a Nobel prize for public health awareness.... but the Swedes consume way too many animal products for that to ever happen.

May God prolong your life and give you more strength to follow your mission.

I've been ill-informed but no anymore. I'm going vegan(I may still eat fish once or twice a week but I'm staying away from anything that comes from cows(including milk),pigs,chickens etc. I'm not doing this to be accepted into some group or adopt a feeling of superiority,thus looking down on other people that do eat meat. I'm doing this for my own well being.
... and of course you are also improving the situation of the animals and the environment. This is a big gift! ;)
+ for animals + environment + ...
Perfect! Wish you the next step to find how you was wrong with prejustice that most of vegans do it due "to be accepted into some group or adopt a feeling of superiority,thus looking down on other people that do eat meat"
I'm with +Marek Volf

+Anna Fisher ooops! OVER 74,000 views now! hee!
Doctors like this, that are willing to go againts the majority to tell the truth and save lives are such a blessing! Even the fact that his earnings go to charity show his intentions are to help and not to become rich, he is so selfless and an incredible human being! thank you for sharing this information for free, God bless you.
I am a doctor myself, and the majority of doctors agrees on that fruits and veggies are healthy and that meat (especially processed, red meat) is bad for you. There might be some disagreement on just how bad meat is or how strict you should be, but there is a consensus that people are eating too much meat and that they should reduce their intake. So Greg is not going against the majority, basically all doctors are trying to make patients eat more fruits and veggies.
Thank you Dr Greger. You make the difference
Just blow my mind! Thank you for the truth and thoughts about controversy from nutrition professionals and the science made...
You are changing the world, Doc G. *slowclap*
I love his style of teaching. He is so informative.
Once again a brilliant lecture! Thank you very much sir!!!!
You are a true inspiration to me Dr Gregor! I will share this with all my friends. I'm guessing none will watch it.
I love this man. Hugs from Argentina :)
One of my mentors...and one of the reasons why I’m going back to school.
I’m on a journey to find the cure for all diseases.
Awesome as always, Doc. Thanks for posting; will be forwarding this to whoever will watch : )
Awesome Video! Thanks for sharing! After watching this video I will now plan meals for my family differently! 🙏🏽

Dr. Greger is a rock star of the healthy eating world. :)
This video alone has the potential to save millions of lives! Great stuff
Absolutely fantastic speech. What a brilliant, charitable and generous man Dr Greger is in putting this all together for us. Lifetime subscriber! Thank you Dr Greger!
This was amazing and life changing. This video just made me a vegan. Wow the power of knowledge LOVE IT. I wana study nutrition
An incredible resource of information! I was searching for the optimal diet for my wife who has a genetic kidney disease and after watching and studying the information provided by Dr. Greger realized that the optimal diet is the same for all of us!
It is awe-inspiring to know we can take control of our health so simply -- but finding the information to educate oneself has been seemingly elusive.......UNTIL NOW :)
Share this w/ all your loved ones and brainstorm ways you can help spread this critical information -- family, friends, facebook, church, school. Thank you and ENJOY!
SO TRUE! Foods that are good for our hearts are ALSO great for our kidneys, colon, pancreas, brain, etc etc!
I love doctor greger funny and interesting, please come to England
Thank you Dr.Greger. Your NutritionFacts videos are always on target and your work is absolutely necessary to clarifying the noise surrounding diet in the western world today.
I love you, Dr. Greger! You inspired me to go vegan. It's the best thing I ever did for me, the animals and the planet. Thankyou!
Dr. Greger is amazing always based on hard science and always shows the research documents he's referencing so you can look them up and read the whole paper.
This guy is a genius of nutrition. Fantastic information and dynamic presentation. Thank you for uploading.
Always look forward to these talks and learn so much from them. Thanks Dr. Greger!
I was convinced several months ago and finally got over the hump and went for it (Vegan) starting just a week ago (1-Oct-2015).
Zvi Benari how’s it going for you?! I’m 3 years September 27!
Amazing! brilliant delivery of life changing facts.....Thank you...
I can't wait for the year in review for 2017!!! Go Dr. Greger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This presentation needs a SUPER LIKE button!!!!!!!!!
Met him Tuesday night 1/19/2016! Thanks for coming to Portland!
I have so much respect and adoration for Dr Michael Gregers intelligence and his big passion for health.... I can't stop watching his videos...lol,.... he is so amazing!
I have fatty liver and trying to reverse it, of course exercise and losing weight can help reverse it but I've been told a low carb type diet can help as high carb foods like bread, crisps and other garbage will when ingesting be converted to fat in the liver, I tried keto but after a few days felt terrible, bloated, had indigestion, headaches after a few days stopped and had a cereal/fruit meal and had a massive rebound of energy which was great I went for a walk even though it was 11pm at night.
A natural Dr advised me to ingest amino acids in foods, for example eggs which have choline which is very important for liver health, amino acids are needed for phase I and II liver detox system to work properly.
You need to eat fats in order for the gallbladder to empty bile/cholesterol sludge right?
But the McDougall diet for example says not to eat any fat or oils.
I thought about trying a vegan keto type diet, but then I'd have to buy into the Keto idea that keto starves cancer by limiting glucose availability for cancer to grow, but cancer first of all can make glucose on its own to survive but now to grow I believe and it uses not only glucose, but glutamine, vit C etc I believe.
Plants and fruits even though have glucose they have important phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals and so whatever diet we do the plants form a basis for many of these healthy diets, keto people also eat many healthy veggies and some low carb fruits such as berries, vegans/vegetarians eat plants of course and even people on the SAD diet eat veggies and fruits and the more they eat the healthier they are and so are advised to get their quota of 5 to 9 a day!
I tell you I have tried a few weird diets and fasting as well, I have been taking 2 meds for 20yrs, since my fatty liver diagnosis I realised I will have to amongst other things (exercise, low BAD carb healthy diet, plus liver friendly diet,meditation etc) stop taking these meds (Prilosec and Paxil) Now I have reduced Paxil from 20mg to 5mg and this believe me has been tough, but I'm still on 20mg Prilosec this I believe is because I'm still too heavy ... a few months ago I was 115kg (BMI - 35.1) now am 102kg (BMI-31.5) my aim is to get to my ideal weight which is 73kg (BMI-24) and so this is why I tried the keto, I did lose weight cause I felt sick:/
And so I was told to eat eggs cause they are healthy for the liver and eating protein in every meal, I assume in order to keep me full and avoiding higher carb foods which are supposed to convert to fat in the liver as this is what I need to avoid, I don't want more fat in my liver.
Can any guys give me advice on my condition?
I tried keto and it didn't work for me cause the higher intake of chicken, butter etc did not agree with my stomach cause I'm taking Prilosec which reduces stomach acid and one needs acid in the stomach in order to digest them, digesting carbs is much easier (for me at least) and partially done with saliva in the mouth even, I believe.
The keto made me feel like not eating anything not even snacks, this also made me avoid breakfast and lunch cause I wasn't hungry, great right? Short feeding window (intermittent fasting success) but that meant that I stayed without taking meds for longer or this is the mistake I made, I didn't take the meds until I ate my breakfast which was around 4pm so this is probably my mistake but anyway I felt horrible and it got boring real quick.
Also for people who have depression/anxiety problems do well on carbs, seeing as you need serotonin rich foods and then high carb meal in order to absorb other amino acids that would otherwise compete with tryptohan nd not allow its absoption in the brain.
Help please, not sure what to do.

Thankyou very much Arya, I suppose the reason I haven't contacted him is cause I don't have much money to pay as I am sure these guys charge for consultations, but maybe I should email him, I could be a great testimnial for him, lol.
Thanks I know of the site and have two of his books, I am driking veggie/friuts juicing and potatoe in the evening, I wanted to do juice fast for as long as possible and then doing a spud fast (potato/sweet potatoes).

Thanks Clarissa, I try to eat mainly organic but manage to eat maybe 50 to 80% organic, I drink evian water but started dinking bottled mineral water (in glass bottles) but yeah maybe I should get a reverse osmosis machine or maybe a water distiller machine?
I just wanted to say that in fish you get mercury and your theory of toxins and fat people sounds interesting.
If we tested most foods even organ you would find heavy metals and toxins inside them, brocolli has carcinogens, plants must have mercury, and bone broth that many are touting has lead - even organic bones, so it isnt easy to avoid these toxic substances, Im not saying that these substances are there in large amount but if you look for them you'll probably find them, imagine ... inside the carrot juices that we drink are toxins, wow. Greeting from London, UK. :)

Thanks Clarissa, Good points,I agree with you of course.
I was just saying it is very interesting that in most food there are some toxins, I found that for example bone broth soup which many drs and gurus say is great for healing the gut has heavy metals like LEAD in it and that is if you use organic bones as well.
Oh here in London its raining :(

I thnk so, I really think so.
What a heroic person. One of the best and most important lectures I have ever seen. What if this talk was rotated among the top 10 television stations so that once a week it was aired on one of them, in perpetuity. I think it would have a big impact on our meat infused diet and save tens of thousands of lives, and many more animal lives. I'm gonna watch it again!
All I have is respect for Dr Greger. Thank you for educating us!
i wonder why there is no paleo dr. who gives yearly lectures about all the new research that shows how great the paleo diet works.
Keith Allen lol
I've beeeeeen waaaaiting for this!!!! It is TIME!
I am so grateful for ALL of Dr. Gregor’s work!
Dr. Gregor, you are so awesome! Thanks for yet another highly interesting and entertaining speech! I´d love it if you could talk about hashimoto thyreoiditis and if it can be healed by a plant-based diet
I can't believe I watched the entire duration of the video. Needless to say, great video. Also, I adore the way you simplify and deliver such complex information.
I love all of your content watch every video and when you went into detail about cigarette industry tactics as they relate to the modern animal infustry you think i would have been prepared but it still hit me like a slug to the chest. Very powerful stuff thank you for all that you do.
Amazingly great video. I think I've just been convinced to the vegan lifestyle.
Taylor Ciccotelli DO TRY it Taylor...there is SO MUCH support for it on the 'net !
YAY! Congratulations! :)
Taylor Ciccotelli There are a BUNCH of great resources on Facebook too!
Dr. Michael Greger is awesome.
Excellent! What a great speaker, to the point and backed science. This man did all the work everyone wished they did, all in one place, all in this video. Amazing.
Dominating like a boss. God bless!!!
Thank you so much Dr Greger. Another great talk that I can pass on to others. Like all your information this one is much needed and I will be watching this one several times.
A highly entertaining, informative presentation as always. Thank you Dr Greger.
Great lecture! How can anyone thumb this down?!
The most important I've listened to this year! thank you!
Thank you for what you are doing Dr Greger!!!
