  • Is heme just an innocent bystander in the link between meat intake and breast cancer, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure? Let’s take a look at heme’s carcinogenic effects.
    This is the sixth in a nine-video series on plant-based meats. Check out the other videos in the series:

    Dr. Gregor,
    Can you please address this question in your own special way: Are Ferritin levels analogous to HDL (high density lipoprotein) levels, in that you only need high amounts if you have high levels of heme-iron or cholesterol in your blood.
    Vegans have no exogenous (dietary) sources for heme-iron or cholesterol, so the body does not need to make as much ferritin or HDL as meat eaters do to keep the blood clean… is this an accurate statement/analogy? Of course you can include hematocrit, RBC, iron, hemoglobin, and anything else you think needs to be addressed.

  • @tayloranderson456
    @tayloranderson456 Месяц назад +1

    The problem with heme is the body has no way of regulating absorption of it (as opposed to non heme). So if someone is consistently eating heme they would mostly likely be consistently over absorbing iron which causes all sorts of problems. There is also the issue of where in the intestines it gets absorbed vs non heme.

      I believe the advice is to shop on the periphery, where the less processed foods usually are. Incidentally, this is where the dead animal meat that is fresh--rather than frozen--is located but also where the coolers of meat analogues are located, so vegans can do this shop-on-the-periphery thing, too, and I do, dipping into the aisles for dried/canned beans, starches.

    Impossible burgers are not criticised for hem iron. Not at all. They are being criticised for being ultra processed food, with at least dozens of toxic ingredients. It shouldn't be considered food at all. Actually impossible burgers and all similar fake foods are supposed to be illegal.
