Was vegan for 7 years after being told over and over this is the healthiest diet by things like the China study and Dr Greger. Ended up with severe anaemia which I got iron infusions, agoraphobia, GAD and panic attacks. I’m now low carb, caffeine free and sugar free.

Stop telling lies. You never were a vegan. Maybe you tried a plant food diet. But even if you eat Chinese, that doesn’t make you a Chinese. Veganism is an awareness. You are still blind and deaf. Being a vegan says nothing about whether you are eating unhealthy or healthy.
Regarding the plant agriculture, its not just the animal deaths, it's the land that all creatures are deprived of. A grass fed cow, and most are grass fed, will share it's pasture with an abundance of creatures in, under, on and flying into the territory constantly not to mention the microbes and and natural biosphere of the soil.
Many cows are fed grain to fatten them as quickly as possible. However, you have a choice as a consumer, you can select Grass Fed Beef as opposed to the regular grain fed beef.
@@jimosullivan1389 your ignorance is showing. Cows are raised on pasture out on the fields roaming around. They spend the bulk of their lives in pasture. They are then taken to feedlots for the last 3 months or so of their lives to fatten up on grain. Got it? Stop perpetuating vegan lies.
I'm so sorry... I think this happened to me as well. I was almost vegetarian - a couple eggs and maybe a piece of chicken every week or so. I had a severe mental breakdown and was hospitalized 3 weeks... Very frightening stuff! 10 years has passed and now I'm about 98% carnivore. I still enjoy coffee. 😌 Thankfully, no meds and no relapses.
Tufts Univ. School of nutrition released their ridiculous chart for healthy eating (you can look it up) and it struck me as bizarre that they put frosted mini wheats at the very top of the healthy food list and eggs and butter at the very bottom. What was also strange is the ONLY brand food they mentioned was frosted mini wheats...a kellogg's food. Why would they single out that particular food when everything else was generic? It makes no sense. Or does it!? Edit: BTW I went to Tufts and I thought it was a pretty poor school back in the 80s. It seems it's gotten worse.
Depending on which Food Compass chart you look at, General Mills is mentioned quite often too. In fact, their Cheerios cereal shows up as the most healthy "grain" and, in just casually looking at the chart, it looks like General Mills beats Kelloggs in most of the grain category. I guess General Mills must have kicked in more cash.
Great talk, I've watched it twice and bookmarked the references link! One extra thing I'd mention is at 15:30, talking about the protein from Gregor's recommended diet. If you include the DIAAS score, it's far less than 17%. Plus conditionally non essential (but super important) amino acids like taurine, carnitine, and choline are completely absent.
Excellent comment. I doubt most people are familiar with the details of why your comment is so important, so perhaps you could share your favorite reference or youtube video backing up your observations.
Harcombe is one of my favorite nutritionists, no mis/disinformation always backed science. I love it when she dissects a study to realize it was not worth the paper it was printed. Fantastic
Excellent presentation. Thank you very much. I started low carb mid October 2021 so almost 1 year now. Recently I've been increasing my protein by eating eggs and more meat. And I am noticing that gradually I am not enjoying my salad veggies as much as I used to (when I started low carb) and if I don't have enough meat in a meal I am missing it. And I've never been a big meat eater but it seems like I'm actually starting to want it. I definitely feel more satisfied after eating a meal with a larger amount of meat and/or eggs and/or cheese.
The Vegetarian Myth by Lierre Keith changed my life. I care about animals. I care about my health. And I care about the planet. I will never be a vegetarian.
Vegetarian is not the same as vegan. If one does well with eggs and dairy, and has religious reasons (as opposed to health or environmental reasons), I expect one could be quite healthy without consuming meat. However, meat, fish, and poultry are quite nutrient dense.
This was absolute brilliant! Even though i studied biology times ago, there is new input for me. The most brilliant thing of her is: bringing all the knowledge of different sciences together! Thanks Doctor!
@@veganix6757 1. Vegans MUST take vitamin B12 supplements to remain healthy. 2. Modern agricultural practices for growing plants does kill animals, since vast swaths of land are plowed under quite rapidly. 3. Our topsoil has been rapidly depleted, and animals like ruminants are known to rejuvenate the soil. 4. Growing cattle and poultry and other animals for meat/dairy/eggs in factory conditions is WRONG, both ethically and for the health of the consumer. That last point should be common ground for advocates of eating real healthy food, whether vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, omnivore, or carnivore.
@@veganix6757 The cow-veg-dormant argument. Cows poop, the veg sucks up the nutrients, and then the land rests. We should have small farms locally for everyone in every county of every country. Eating local, small, no carbines necessary, no spraying. It's a symbiotic relationship that veganism does not have. Second: The sheer number of animals killed with large vegetable farming and with all the agrichemicals necessary to do it. Third: Nutrition. You just don't have it. There are way more, but that's three to start with. How did your vegan brain miss them?
Finally someone else has recognized what I been thinking: convert all that crop land in the great plans back to grazing land. As you say better for the soil, no pesticides, far less erosion. Introduce bison back to the plains if needed. Less energy used for farm equipment.

Our major supermarket Woolies/Woolworths has the balanced plate available to be linked to our shopping so you can see how you compare, called Food Tracker by "HealthyLife." They did a survey that they based their Australian recommendations on for Australia based on ONLY n=2001 participants for a population of almost 26 000 000 people.

So saturated fat still vilified, seed oils rein and carbs pushed. Vegetables are similar cost per kg to minced beef but vege little food value compared to beef, quality eggs, butter and A2 milk.

Couldn’t agree more! I might add also that I’m an operating theatre nurse here in Australia, and most people I work with (health professionals), are dumbfounded at my answer of ketovore-carnivore, when complimenting me on my healthy appearance at age 52. Meanwhile, they’re busy ensuring patients have taken their meds for this, that & the other (many of which they could do without if nutrition was corrected), and spruiking the message as they know it (fat bad, cholesterol bad, low fat good), whilst chowing down on all sorts of crap which is for some, and will for others, lead to their own poor health outcomes. Extremely frustrating.

The crop deaths she mentioned did not yet include the countless sentient bugs killed by pesticide and fertilizer applications. There are 4.63 billion acres of cropland in the world. There are 400 million bugs in an acre. In just one application of pesticide, it could kill quintillions of sentient bugs.
I’ve been on a low carb diet due to my weight and depression/anxiety and even though I eat more meat I eat way less I’m more satiated and Im 13 pounds down I’ve been training all my life but now I feel like I’m training with my body not against
If grass is left alone in a paddock it eventually decomposes due to bacterial action which produces methane. When grass is eaten by a cow it decomposes on the cow’s rumen due to bacterial action which produces methane. If we’re going to eliminate cows we had better eliminate grass while we’re at it.
Very good presentation. Should recommend it to Dr Dean Ornish, etc to watch!! I have been following a Keto lifestyle and have been experiencing the multiple benefits of such!
All those years I was vegan (20 +, and vegetarian 10 years before that), I thought I was doing something so good for myself, animals, and the world.

Very very poor arguments. What’s the morally relevant difference between humans and animals that makes it ok to violate rights of one but not the other.
Wow...this is such a great presentation. So well done, convincing & fair. It is so sad about the Food Industries that are trying to brainwash people who don't know better what good nutrition is all about. They are making foods that are making people sick & killing this earth.

Fantastic video, fantastic presenter, thankyou!!! Have just begun carnivore diet and was feeling overwhelming guilt for the consumption of animals when I have never really felt good about it, however having cats has forced me to overcome my guilt. This video really explains and extrapolates what I needed to continue with this diet. Thankyou so much.
A third of the world’s lentils are grown in Canada and almost all of those in a surprisingly small part of Saskatchewan. Most of those travel a long way to market. It’s impressive but disconcerting.

Holistic grazing is great for the animals and great for the environment It involves very little land clearing builds up soil organisms reduces carbon and produces very healthy happy animals The world would be a greener safer place and less people would be hungry if we grazed holistically and our diets were animal related people would be much healthier and broadacre chemical farming would be reduced dramatically
@@petermadany2779 Actually carbon is not an issue. CO2 is plant food and only plant food. It has no control over our planet's temperature, the water vapor cycle controls that. There is no climate crisis.
I've watched over 8hrs of Zoe's videos today and I'm a grumpy misogynist but this woman is so slick at her presentations and grabs your attention with facts and explains them to numpties like myself in a simple manner that I can grasp.
@@veganix6757 only by eating artificial, man-made supplements. So it’s not a ‘complete’ way of eating at all. Not ‘species appropriate’. Veg protein is inferior to animal protein. Comes with too many carbs and only about 1/2 of it gets absorbed. So inferior, many plant based eaters end up with more brittle bones later on in life. Not something I would look forward to myself. Your choice I guess? PS … science isn’t about ‘consensus’ that’s the new (pretend) corporate science. Real science is about evidence, not opinions 😊
We didn't evolve binocular vision and a short digestive tract to hunt broccoli. Meat consumption allowed us to pull away from our ape ancestors and grow larger brains. The last thing we need now is to regress even further.
Zoe Harcombe one of the best speakers. Her presentations are so easy too understand. Thank you for all your hardwork - if only the UK governments, and I hate to see it .... our dreadful NHS which today I am embarrassed by the more I learn ... they actually make us sick ... When is this profession going to wake up and realise the profession is not quick too change ... you are today training the new doctors incorrectly.
That's why I think most studies these days are heavy influenced by companies and money is a big factor. Everything is a business these days and honesty and integrity does not exist anymore.
Timestamp 21:21 That is NOT cows ready to be milked. That is calves who are isolated and fed milk. Cows are milked indoors and are brought in in waves. The photo you are sharing is a farm that works to breed dairy cows.
Excellent presentation! Covered ALL of the important points in this ongoing battle. I eat meat. Lots of fatty meats, and at 61 years old….perfect health. Just saying
Great lecture! Loved the explanation about the soil and harmony with the planet. It is important to make sure that the meet comes from the farms and not those terrible cages from the photos showed
I remember listening to one of the SDA doctors give their diet spiel (pretty convincing I must admit), but I couldn't help but notice he was quite earnest about recommending B-vitamin supplements along with it. 🤫😛
I'm not vegan but I do have many friends that are and I must say there are different ways to practice veganisn, the nuance of which you overlook. I think context is important. I agree that animals are beneficial to the land when regenerative principles are applied to their management and detrimental when it involves 'industrial' methods Likewise many vegans especially in the city have no idea of the murder and carnage involved in their food supply, while at the same time I know vegans who produce most if not all of their own food from permaculture and syntropic agriculture 'food forest' systems (especially in the tropics) that severely limit the negative impact on wildlife and ecosystems AND where many of the people who choose veganism are actually dynamically healthy (including vegan body-builders and athletes I know personally (though I agree with your point about supplementation). So personally I would like to see a world where 'how' food is produced becomes far more important than 'what' food we eat, and where 'free choice' is more valued than 'what others should do'.
Imagine a company like Nestle, whose CEO stated that water is not a human right, governing your food supply? It will no longer be a case of survival of the fittest, but survival of the richest.
When you are eating nutritionally dense foods, you consume LESS. We can feed MORE humans with less food if it's nutritious! We definitely need to move away from factory farming animals, but there should be no reason that we can't raise animals humanely.
Some people are simply ignoring what made humans evolve from mere monkeys. No, it wasn't the consumption of lucky charms, bananas or cashews that made them evolve
Great presentation, but i would like to point out that although not a bioavailable as animal sourced, there is b12, d3 and epa/dha insome plant foods ie mushrooms and algae.
Vegan is great if you like to eat seven or eight meals day and that’s pretty much all you do . when you’re hungry all the time you’ll love it !enjoy pale skin, low energy no drive this is the diet for you!
Peter, in my case, the longer I keto, the less (toxic ) veggies I want... look around, Dr Sarah Zaldivar just posted a video about an old study of the insecticides that plants use to protect themselves.
Someone did post a study on trying to get these natural insecticides in vegetables to target cancer cells. By the way, the healthiest vegetable is supposedly broccoli sprouts. Only a couple of spoons a day are beneficial
I've been Carnivore for 6 months and at 57 my life has completely changed. No auto immune disorders or illnesses, full of energy and no body fat. Head to toe Carnivore is the way to go!
Zoe didn't quite complete the first animal argument... it's true that you can't benefit an animal by ensuring it never exists, but it's also true that you can't harm an animal by ensuring it never exists... the honest conclusion from this seems to be that keeping cows and pigs and chickens from existing neither helps nor harms *them*. Still, her ultimate point is valid, if she meant it, that the only reason the animals we eat exist is because we eat them. So the question then turns to whether their lives are, on the whole, good. The chickens she showed... you might conclude "No." But cows fed grass and slaughtered with minimal pain (which is less than a tenth of a percent of their life)? That seems to be an emphatic "Yes." Then, all the good regenerative ag does... carnivory really is best.
Toxins on the land are killing our bees and birds as well. What will service our plants if we kill off everything that's been servicing our flowers and growing our plants and fruit? We don't know how much damage these chemicals are doing to us.

Fantastic video, fantastic presenter, thankyou!!! Have just begun carnivore diet and was feeling overwhelming guilt for the consumption of animals when I have never really felt good about it, however having cats has forced me to overcome my guilt. This video really explains and extrapolates what I needed to continue with this diet. Thankyou so much.
Brilliant lecture
Thank you!🎉
So concise and poignant. Thank you.
A third of the world’s lentils are grown in Canada and almost all of those in a surprisingly small part of Saskatchewan. Most of those travel a long way to market. It’s impressive but disconcerting.
Many in this space feed the intellect. Your humor, common sense and humanity reminds me of why I fight. Thank you.
Damned smart and capable lady as well.
Spot on! Thank you Dr Zoe. Money an Power....at the root of it all.
Holistic grazing is great for the animals and great for the environment
It involves very little land clearing builds up soil organisms reduces carbon and produces very healthy happy animals
The world would be a greener safer place and less people would be hungry if we grazed holistically and our diets were animal related people would be much healthier and broadacre chemical farming would be reduced dramatically
I presume you mean "reduces [atmospheric] carbon [by increasing non-atmospheric carbon in top soil]".
@@petermadany2779 Actually carbon is not an issue. CO2 is plant food and only plant food. It has no control over our planet's temperature, the water vapor cycle controls that. There is no climate crisis.
Extraordinary.
Stunning presentation! Thank you very much. It was awesome :)
Thanks.
I've watched over 8hrs of Zoe's videos today and I'm a grumpy misogynist but this woman is so slick at her presentations and grabs your attention with facts and explains them to numpties like myself in a simple manner that I can grasp.
Amazing presentation! Real stats and science reveals what we should be eating!
Missing science though and scientific consensus. Science shows u can be perfectly healthy without eating any animals
@@veganix6757 got citations?
@@veganix6757 only by eating artificial, man-made supplements. So it’s not a ‘complete’ way of eating at all. Not ‘species appropriate’.
Veg protein is inferior to animal protein. Comes with too many carbs and only about 1/2 of it gets absorbed. So inferior, many plant based eaters end up with more brittle bones later on in life. Not something I would look forward to myself. Your choice I guess?
PS … science isn’t about ‘consensus’ that’s the new (pretend) corporate science. Real science is about evidence, not opinions 😊
@@veganix6757 obviously a vegan who’s been bought in by the propaganda will be saying nonsense like this 😂😂
@@veganix6757 Science by consensus isn't very scientific is it. Dumbo.
Thank you so much!!!
There’s a reasons keto got rated worst diet ever f the century
We didn't evolve binocular vision and a short digestive tract to hunt broccoli.
Meat consumption allowed us to pull away from our ape ancestors and grow larger brains.
The last thing we need now is to regress even further.
Evolution mythology doesn't help and isn't needed to defend an excellent meat diet.
@@KenJackson_US Evolution isn't mythology.
Bigger brains when fire was discovered, which enabled more nutrients to be released from plants?
@@CD-dn6pk Nope, bigger brains came first from increased fat consumption.
As an 18 year long vegan...and no longer..I'm hoping the answer is an emphatic no
Excellent
Awesome talk Zoe.
Zoe Harcombe one of the best speakers. Her presentations are so easy too understand. Thank you for all your hardwork - if only the UK governments, and I hate to see it .... our dreadful NHS which today I am embarrassed by the more I learn ... they actually make us sick ... When is this profession going to wake up and realise the profession is not quick too change ... you are today training the new doctors incorrectly.
That's why I think most studies these days are heavy influenced by companies and money is a big factor. Everything is a business these days and honesty and integrity does not exist anymore.
It has been, pretty much from the industrial revolution imo
Brilliant presentation
In conversation I no longer say "a vegan diet", I say "an *unhealthy* vegan diet".
Just saying "a vegan diet" already covers that since there's no such thing as "a healthy vegan diet".
Wow , thank you this is awesome !!
I tried to find the similarity between the digestive system of natural plant eaters such as cows etc. How many stomachs do we have etc.
Fantastic presentation, thank you!!
Plants turn into my favorite food, after it’s digested in 4 stomachs.
That was brilliant! Thank you dr Zoe❤
Name one brilliant statement. Name one reason u shouldn’t be vegan
@@veganix6757 check out 12:43. Those vitamins and other micronutrients matter.
@@veganix6757 Name one reason why you should be vegan.
@@veganix6757 b12
Great summary!!!!
Timestamp 21:21 That is NOT cows ready to be milked. That is calves who are isolated and fed milk. Cows are milked indoors and are brought in in waves. The photo you are sharing is a farm that works to breed dairy cows.
Zoe you are brilliant ❤ paul x
Very good presentation.
Excellent presentation! Covered ALL of the important points in this ongoing battle. I eat meat. Lots of fatty meats, and at 61 years old….perfect health. Just saying
The only good thing about "73 reasons to be vegan " is that it exposes the nonsense that passes for reasons.
What a brilliant summary. I had to comment so that more people will see this!
Absolutely fantastic - thank you.
Great stuff.
Brilliant!
Thank you!!
I eat a plant based diet, all my food eats plants.
Great lecture! Loved the explanation about the soil and harmony with the planet. It is important to make sure that the meet comes from the farms and not those terrible cages from the photos showed
I remember listening to one of the SDA doctors give their diet spiel (pretty convincing I must admit), but I couldn't help but notice he was quite earnest about recommending B-vitamin supplements along with it. 🤫😛
I'm not vegan but I do have many friends that are and I must say there are different ways to practice veganisn, the nuance of which you overlook.
I think context is important.
I agree that animals are beneficial to the land when regenerative principles are applied to their management and detrimental when it involves 'industrial' methods
Likewise many vegans especially in the city have no idea of the murder and carnage involved in their food supply, while at the same time I know vegans who produce most if not all of their own food from permaculture and syntropic agriculture 'food forest' systems (especially in the tropics) that severely limit the negative impact on wildlife and ecosystems AND where many of the people who choose veganism are actually dynamically healthy (including vegan body-builders and athletes I know personally (though I agree with your point about supplementation).
So personally I would like to see a world where 'how' food is produced becomes far more important than 'what' food we eat, and where 'free choice' is more valued than 'what others should do'.
Wise words!
Imagine a company like Nestle, whose CEO stated that water is not a human right, governing your food supply? It will no longer be a case of survival of the fittest, but survival of the richest.
Zoe is brilliant, been a fan for years. My nickname is beefy, so guess what I eat!
Excellent presentation
She’s a great voice for freedom
When you are eating nutritionally dense foods, you consume LESS. We can feed MORE humans with less food if it's nutritious! We definitely need to move away from factory farming animals, but there should be no reason that we can't raise animals humanely.
Some people are simply ignoring what made humans evolve from mere monkeys. No, it wasn't the consumption of lucky charms, bananas or cashews that made them evolve
Great presentation, but i would like to point out that although not a bioavailable as animal sourced, there is b12, d3 and epa/dha insome plant foods ie mushrooms and algae.
Great talk. Attacking it from the three prevailing perspectives was very smart. Veganism is feel good, but dangerous in a lot of ways.
Vegan is great if you like to eat seven or eight meals day and that’s pretty much all you do . when you’re hungry all the time you’ll love it !enjoy pale skin, low energy no drive this is the diet for you!
I'm Vegan Keto and eat one meal a day, and two protein shakes. Have loads of energy and am satiated. It works for me.
Brilliant
just stumbled across your channel 4 weeks into "carnivore diet" . Always looking for more information for and against with what im doing.👍🏼👍🏼
I am curious, what are your motivations for going carnivore vs. something like real food keto or real food low-carb health-fat?
Peter, in my case, the longer I keto, the less (toxic ) veggies I want... look around, Dr Sarah Zaldivar just posted a video about an old study of the insecticides that plants use to protect themselves.
Someone did post a study on trying to get these natural insecticides in vegetables to target cancer cells.
By the way, the healthiest vegetable is supposedly broccoli sprouts. Only a couple of spoons a day are beneficial
I've been Carnivore for 6 months and at 57 my life has completely changed. No auto immune disorders or illnesses, full of energy and no body fat. Head to toe Carnivore is the way to go!
Watching this while eating two grass fed ribeye steaks.
beautiful ❤
11:34 I love it!
Zoe didn't quite complete the first animal argument... it's true that you can't benefit an animal by ensuring it never exists, but it's also true that you can't harm an animal by ensuring it never exists... the honest conclusion from this seems to be that keeping cows and pigs and chickens from existing neither helps nor harms *them*. Still, her ultimate point is valid, if she meant it, that the only reason the animals we eat exist is because we eat them. So the question then turns to whether their lives are, on the whole, good. The chickens she showed... you might conclude "No." But cows fed grass and slaughtered with minimal pain (which is less than a tenth of a percent of their life)? That seems to be an emphatic "Yes." Then, all the good regenerative ag does... carnivory really is best.
Toxins on the land are killing our bees and birds as well. What will service our plants if we kill off everything that's been servicing our flowers and growing our plants and fruit? We don't know how much damage these chemicals are doing to us.
