I credit daily consumption of at least 1cup of wild Blueberries for 2 years to the healing of my Brain after a massive Hemoraghic Stroke in my Right Parietal Brain Lobe. I had Blindness & many other deficits. I regained my Washington State drivers license priviledge after those 2 years of Wild Blueberry consumption! Amazing!!
good stuff. for years as a diabetic I was told to avoid fruits beyond small amounts and that fats would be ok, wouldn't raise my sugars in moderation, as well as protein, as long as I avoided 'excessive' carbs. every year I got worse. this year after being diabetic for nearly 40 years I finally had enough of daily sugars hitting 300+ every darn day, I felt like a failure, had to quit working a while back. I stumbled across a study you reported about oatmeal and another about fruit. how berries would HELP not hurt my BG. that includes blueberries, raspberries black berries and some cherries every day. for the first time since my diagnosis I'm seeing better numbers and I feel better. I wish I'd discovered these things sooner. thank you so much for the work you do tirelessly, it has helped me immeasurably.
Not sure I can't see inside to give you an difinitive answer. However, 51 years of eating like this and I seem to be doing quite well. How well is your digestive tract?
The real question is how enormous is the difference between wild, naturally produced blueberries and those industrially produced ones... In nutritional values, not to mention in taste.
I used to load up on coffee before exams, once up to the point I started hearing voices in my head, this was after downing about 2 litres in about 2 hours though. Guess I should have been going for blueberries...
Well, I've learned from the experience, after that I never drank that much coffee in such a short while again. In fact, for the last 2 years I haven't had any, I used to be on about 8 cups a day espresso strength, black no sugar...
did you get heart palpitations and light sensitivity ? I'm glad you got a less dangerous warning sign and hope you can still enjoy some amount of that delicious stuff!
OMG! I've been teaching that y-axis trick since 1991. THANK YOU SO MUCH! We've gotta spread the word on this nonsense when it comes to presenting data.
LOVE IT DR G! EVER SINCE YOUR RECOMMENDATION OF A HANDFULL OF BLUEBERRIES IN YOUR SMOOTHIE FOR ANTIOXIDANT POWER, I'VE BEEN DOINTG THAT PLUS ADDING THEM IN MANY RECIPES I CREATE! THANKS A BUNCH! I LOVE THEM, HOWEVER, HERE IN PR THEY'RE EXPENSIVE.
Hello Dr.Greger love this channel, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I BEG YOU could you do an video about Keratosis Pilaris and diet? Or anyway too improve its aperance internally or externally. PLEASE from someone that has bad KP and because of it has low self-esteem.
Thanks for the video with all the good information. The season for picking blueberries is now, so I will pick a blueberries picker today and start picking blueberries!
Bloxeh buckwheat with blueberries?! Mind blown )) I usually make it with broccoli, mushrooms, chickpeas and other veggies. Never tried making it with something sweet.
There is a gentleman Yosef, he has a farm in Peyton Colorado U.S. Ahavah Farm, he Farms completely chemical-free, which means he cannot be classified as an organic farm. But he supplies the best vegetables I've ever tasted in my life, and on the Brix scale he's getting higher numbers than what you find in the store. I'm wondering if this would translate into healthier food. It would be awesome to see him scale up to feed tens of thousands which he is talked about. But his customer base and funding is not there at this point in time. But this would be an interesting thing to see a study done on. And since organic does use chemicals I'm pretty sure there hasn't been a study done on chemically free food compared to intentionally sprayed food.?
The graph at 3:11... Aren't there only 2 data points with error bars that allow the trend observed to be reversed according to experimental uncertainty?
Did you just use the same not-starting-from-zero trick that was used by the supplement company at the beginning of the video? Thanks for the otherwise great videos.
I saw the title of this and got excited as I prepared to eat my oats with blueberries. 44 seconds in and he's putting me off lol I hope this gets better.
3:11 I know they list the P-value as being less than .05 there, but those error bars are overlapping **quite** a bit...I wonder if they calculated the SEM properly or if they just let the software pick a random type of error to graph?
Okay, so I used to work in a post-op urology unit. I never looked at wine the same way after calling my TURP patient’s urine as “Rose” and “Cabernet” ... 🤢
Tony De Sousa No he's just a misguided idiot who has read some junk science books and thinks he understands everything about nutrition. For example pretty much all of the citations in wheat belly support the opposite of what is claimed.
Greger thinks a cup of wild blueberries is 15-24g, internet says as high as 190g to 30g. I’ve been eating/drinking 140-150g of this stuff and haven’t keeled over or diabetes.
Picked quite a few “serviceberries “ last week in Idaho. Thought they were a bit mealy compared to the wild huckleberries. Next year maybe I’ll try doing something with them instead of just eating them as is...
🤣 just saw the story of you eating elderberries 😂🤣 I'm thankful - you made this expierience - and not me!!! So therefore I better eat blueberries to get smarter - and go on watching your Channel! Love it 😘
It's too expensive to eat even a cup of blueberries a day! Maybe not for you, but for most of the working people! And about the study on the kids: perhaps it's just the sugar in the blueberries!
Does anybody talk about the cancerous PESTICIDES inside regular supermarket vegetables and fruits? Arent they dangerous for humans? By eating a plant based diet, you must consume a lot of those chemicals (fertilizers, pesticides)... Im tryin to go VEGAN, but this is a topic thats kind of holding me back.
Amebic liver abscesses characteristically adhere to the underside of the diaphragm and then burst into the overlying lung whereupon the patient coughs up the contents of the abscess.This isnt always what happens but it is common. A patient of mine who did this said "Its funny, doc,my sputum tastes of liver " !
“6 cups of frozen wild blueberries…” Me: Damn, that is like 840g of wild blueberries a day? The research paper: 24g of wild blueberries. Me again: *unknowingly sipping 140g of blueberries into my soy milk smoothie*
flyshacker obviously he’s not suggesting to eat those foods raw unless sprouting the beans which you can’t do with all beans but you can with many, he’s saying a raw food diet do you really not understand what that means?
He could do that but it would convince nobody but the most gullible people. His advocacy is to spread nutrition facts (hence the name) from science journal articles and for people to decide for themselves.
Except that study after study have proven the benefits of eating almost any type of beans on an almost dosage based scale for a multitude of issues like weight loss, blood sugar control, dramatically reducing the risk factor for colon cancer, cholesterol reduction, anti-immunosupression effects, digestion, satiety and much more. Besides, many plant products are effectively more nutritious cooked than raw. Many plant foods are just too hard to digest to get the full amount of nutrients out of raw. It's the reason why juice fasting has such stark noticeable effects versus just eating a healthy raw diet of the same foods. Because the mechanical destruction of the cell walls makes the nutrients much more bio-available than just chewing could ever achieve.
Christina Mary no they aren t ... First every food frozen can cause cancer , see world health organization articles , Yes fruits and veggies too ( im vegan btw ) Second eating a fresh fruit outseason and that fruit has lost 50 % of its nutritional properties ... Frozen ??? Dont even try that
Those blueberries in your picture are not natural. I have consumed real natural blueberries and I know what theyre like. These ones in the pic are acidic in taste. The purple juice is totally unatural. Some are also slightly green. The meat should white, juiceless, have specific blueberry taste and a couple cups of them should be like a mild pre-workout powder. They should also boost vision like - Immediatly!!!. Those purple weakling, acidic and almost tasteless "blueberries" are an attrocity of modern agriculture.

That's amazing!!!
Very awesome.
Your voice makes it more exciting to learn about nutrition!
Literally eating blueberries and pomegranate topped oatmeal as I watch this 😋
Emily BH it was definitely more than a topping. I always put a cup of blueberries on my oats. :)
Hannah Ruthy literally read that and got very, very hungry. Hope you enjoyed it. I'm going to get out of bed and have something similar. 🙂
Emuna Bee haha thank you! I hope you enjoy yours! It's my favorite thing to have in the morning. Especially wild blueberries. :)
Gonna try this for breakfast tomorrow....sounds delicious!
Davy Walker hope you enjoy! I get frozen pomegranate, which makes it much easier and its really delicious.
I usually have a couple of bags of blueberries in the freezer for my oatmeal🙂
Incredible stuff, God bless you , the good doctor !!
good stuff. for years as a diabetic I was told to avoid fruits beyond small amounts and that fats would be ok, wouldn't raise my sugars in moderation, as well as protein, as long as I avoided 'excessive' carbs. every year I got worse. this year after being diabetic for nearly 40 years I finally had enough of daily sugars hitting 300+ every darn day, I felt like a failure, had to quit working a while back.

I simply love your video style, truly refreshing and creative.
...put it to the test!
Thank you this message was greatly appreciated I will really add this on my list to cognitive nutrition.
1/2 cup Blueberries in my oatmeal each day. I pick them locally where they are abundant all over the area I live in. Free and Pesticide free.
Not sure I can't see inside to give you an difinitive answer. However, 51 years of eating like this and I seem to be doing quite well. How well is your digestive tract?
Where does the glue come from? the berries, no! the steel cut oats, no!
Dean Nicolle LUCKY YOU! ARE THERE ANY VACANT HOMES IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD (RENT/SALE)? 😁😊
@@Vegan7 Very similar and same nutritional values. Bilberries grow primarily in Europe but some rare ones grow in North America.
The real question is how enormous is the difference between wild, naturally produced blueberries and those industrially produced ones... In nutritional values, not to mention in taste.
I used to load up on coffee before exams, once up to the point I started hearing voices in my head, this was after downing about 2 litres in about 2 hours though. Guess I should have been going for blueberries...

Congratulations for kicking the addiction. It's hard.
The extra energy you get throughout the day is worth it!
Replace coffee with quality green tea. Gives energy improves concentration but less side effects
Yes green tea is really great.
did you get heart palpitations and light sensitivity ? I'm glad you got a less dangerous warning sign and hope you can still enjoy some amount of that delicious stuff!
Dr. - said it once - say it again...
YOU ARE A HERO
OMG! I've been teaching that y-axis trick since 1991. THANK YOU SO MUCH! We've gotta spread the word on this nonsense when it comes to presenting data.
I so look forward to Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings, thanks to the great Dr. Greger!!
💖...until....now!! A daily dose of your findings Dr. Greger and my day is complete 😊
LOVE IT DR G! EVER SINCE YOUR RECOMMENDATION OF A HANDFULL OF BLUEBERRIES IN YOUR SMOOTHIE FOR ANTIOXIDANT POWER, I'VE BEEN DOINTG THAT PLUS ADDING THEM IN MANY RECIPES I CREATE! THANKS A BUNCH! I LOVE THEM, HOWEVER, HERE IN PR THEY'RE EXPENSIVE.
Astaxanthin in Blue Green Algae does this amazingly too maybe even better.
Hello Dr.Greger love this channel, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I BEG YOU could you do an video about Keratosis Pilaris and diet? Or anyway too improve its aperance internally or externally. PLEASE from someone that has bad KP and because of it has low self-esteem.
Thanks for the video with all the good information. The season for picking blueberries is now, so I will pick a blueberries picker today and start picking blueberries!
eating oats with 100g blueberries while watching.
eating buckwheat with blueberries while watching! :D
@SoCalDreamer yeah i didn't watch during that, wouldn't do that if i wasn't eating either.
Bloxeh buckwheat with blueberries?! Mind blown ))
I usually make it with broccoli, mushrooms, chickpeas and other veggies.
Never tried making it with something sweet.
What is the best way to clean blueberries and other berries to get rid of pesticides?!
Thanks
Can you do a video on walnuts?
ruclips.net/video/0Mt_OxSKKZ0/видео.html
Thank you 😍
I love blueberries! I eat them with my breakfast every morning. About a cup.
There is a gentleman Yosef, he has a farm in Peyton Colorado U.S. Ahavah Farm, he Farms completely chemical-free, which means he cannot be classified as an organic farm. But he supplies the best vegetables I've ever tasted in my life, and on the Brix scale he's getting higher numbers than what you find in the store.

Will they make cats smarter as well? I'm still hoping to play chess with mine one day.
Your cat doesn't care about chess ...or you.
No but they might help you not say things like 'mine one' which is horrible grammar lol.
What's a good substitute/the next best thing? Especially asking for parts of the world closer to the equator and far from blueberry-growing places.
The graph at 3:11... Aren't there only 2 data points with error bars that allow the trend observed to be reversed according to experimental uncertainty?
387,000 subscribed!! Keep up the good work.
30g? A cup? (Whatever that means)
I’m on at least 200g of berries a day, usually blueberries
Christopher O'Grady yeah a cup is 30g. That's an impressive amount you're eating, they must be cheap where you live
a cup is 340 grams (for the google impaired) or 12 oz.
Jac Flasche oh okay, my bad then 😅
an Oz is 30g then..
So many weird American units of measure (and mixing volume with weight), why can’t y’all just use grams like everyone else?
I’ve heard Saskatoon Berries are even more nutritious with even more anti oxidants. Try them if you see them 💜
Did you just use the same not-starting-from-zero trick that was used by the supplement company at the beginning of the video? Thanks for the otherwise great videos.
Can you do a reply to Jeff nippards interview on vegan science?
Does anybody have/ had Foliate Papillae(Enlarged taste buds on back of my tongue)?
I need help.
I saw the title of this and got excited as I prepared to eat my oats with blueberries. 44 seconds in and he's putting me off lol I hope this gets better.
Thanks! 🌝
can you review studies on paprika for us.
What about berries plus creatine for a healthy neuroplastisity !!
3:11 I know they list the P-value as being less than .05 there, but those error bars are overlapping **quite** a bit...I wonder if they calculated the SEM properly or if they just let the software pick a random type of error to graph?
How about frozen vegetables what’s up with that?
Thats excatly what I thought of is how I wish I would of known this when having a exam. LOL
Does this apply to dried blueberries too?
what about strawberries?
that feeling of watching dr greger's videos and knowing stuff that no one will ever believe if you said it
Love blueberries
Luckily my niece loves blueberries. I also enjoy them with self-made banana and raspberry ice cream.
Okay, so I used to work in a post-op urology unit. I never looked at wine the same way after calling my TURP patient’s urine as “Rose” and “Cabernet” ... 🤢
Please suggest an alternative of blueberries. I cannt find a single shop that sells whole blueberries, only canned 😔
A supplement called pterostilbene is the alternative to eating blueberry can be bought from a company called jarrow formulas hope this helps
Thoughts on Whole wheat pasta?
Are you paid by the meat industry to comment on almost each comments here? Please show us sources from your claim first.
Tony De Sousa No he's just a misguided idiot who has read some junk science books and thinks he understands everything about nutrition. For example pretty much all of the citations in wheat belly support the opposite of what is claimed.
I see now.
cool!
Dr. Vocal Fry
Does it matter if there frozen Barrie’s?
Eddy Solla freezing them only kills enzymes we're able to produce ourselves. So frozen berries are great! Less chance of them being spoilt
Greger thinks a cup of wild blueberries is 15-24g, internet says as high as 190g to 30g. I’ve been eating/drinking 140-150g of this stuff and haven’t keeled over or diabetes.
I like Saskatoon Berries even better than Blueberries
Picked quite a few “serviceberries “ last week in Idaho. Thought they were a bit mealy compared to the wild huckleberries. Next year maybe I’ll try doing something with them instead of just eating them as is...
Watching this while eating a bowl of blueberries
🤣 just saw the story of you eating elderberries 😂🤣
I'm thankful - you made this expierience - and not me!!!
So therefore I better eat blueberries to get smarter - and go on watching your Channel! Love it 😘
Please also mention the poor statistics in all of the studies.
Great info, but the 1st 2 minutes was a big waste of time. This video should have been 2 1/2 minutes, lol.
The best part of all your videos is when you go "until we... PUT IT TO TYE TEST"
What about blackberries?
Peppermint next
It's too expensive to eat even a cup of blueberries a day! Maybe not for you, but for most of the working people! And about the study on the kids: perhaps it's just the sugar in the blueberries!
Maybe go with frozen. They’re cheaper. Also could reduce to half a cup.
Does anybody talk about the cancerous PESTICIDES inside regular supermarket vegetables and fruits?
Arent they dangerous for humans? By eating a plant based diet, you must consume a lot of those chemicals (fertilizers, pesticides)...
Im tryin to go VEGAN, but this is a topic thats kind of holding me back.
It is such a shame they cost so much, at least where i live....

Me again: *unknowingly sipping 140g of blueberries into my soy milk smoothie*
Great info - but having hard time with the fingernails on chalkboard narrator ....
How can this conclusions be made? It's not like you can give people blueberries that aren't blueberries for the control.
I had my blueberries this morning.
...until now !!
Let's get those berries subsidized (and into schools and hospitals) instead of processed "foods" and animal products
I'm guessing they're the same sort of pathologists (and medical examiners) who eat lunch in the lab!
.
Blueberries make me feel high.
I love this comment
Exams everyday lol
Everything sounds like a question or satire. Weird pronunciation
Dr. Greger could save a lot of time and money by just telling everyone to go on a raw food diet.
Raw potatoes? Raw corn? Raw dry beans? I don’t think so.
flyshacker obviously he’s not suggesting to eat those foods raw unless sprouting the beans which you can’t do with all beans but you can with many, he’s saying a raw food diet do you really not understand what that means?
No, he's making money by posting videos. ;)
He could do that but it would convince nobody but the most gullible people. His advocacy is to spread nutrition facts (hence the name) from science journal articles and for people to decide for themselves.

Why be so disgusting at the beginning...?
Not the frozen one tho
I heard of cases where the frozen ones are even better...
Frozen only lack enzymes which we are able to produce by ourselves
Christina Mary no they aren t ... First every food frozen can cause cancer , see world health organization articles , Yes fruits and veggies too ( im vegan btw ) Second eating a fresh fruit outseason and that fruit has lost 50 % of its nutritional properties ... Frozen ??? Dont even try that
Christina Mary no , even so finish reading the second part of what i wrote
Benefits of meat on the brain!

RohanOf ElvenPower do you mean wild bluberries?
it's impossibile to find those😢😢
He is not talking about Elven berries.
Normal blueberries :) With real benefits :)
Heard greger has started eating meat again from several people.
He's eating meat from several people? He's become a cannibal or several people are giving him meat to eat?
You might want to rephrase that sentence.
firecloud77 he is a well known carnivore troll. Please don't feed
I take your point but unless he's chasing down local cats and dogs and eating them raw, fur, bones and all, he's an omnivore, not a carnivore!
Who's greger
keedt I agree greger is a big time troll
the only downside is they rot your teeth fast
Why should they? They don't contain much sugar or acid.
