When I was 43 years old, I had high cholesterol a hiatal, hernia, inflamed, gums, rotted teeth, overweight on the standard American diet.. I went 100% plant based at 43 years old i’m now 55 years old. In that timeframe, my hiatal hernia healed itself no more inflamed gums not one single cavity. I lost a ton of weight. My cholesterol went way down and I feel like $1 million and I’m on no medication. I also lost a lot of weight.
I agree about the fruits and vegetables, but grains and beans are not optimal and shouldn't be eaten raw. Even seeds and nuts can be hard to digest if eaten in excess. If you have to cook something in order to eat it that says a lot about the food
It seems like most of the comments are made by omnivore oriented people. I have been a herbivore for 12 years. The reason I took that path in life is because I had extreme inflammation in my knees and hips and bursitis in both elbows. I could not walk around the yard. When I tried to do heavy work I would have to sit down every 5 minutes, indicating that I also had heart problems. A few weeks after changing my diet, the inflammation started to subside. Now after 12 years I can work hard for hours and walk for miles without any pain and I am 76 years old. That is only anecdotal evidence but think about it when your body has inflammation.
“Omnivore oriented people”… same thing as saying “people”. We are all born omnivores. It is not possible to get adequate nutrition without supplementation eating either carnivore or vegan. It’s easy to get adequate nutrition eating healthy omnivore. You basically get proper nutrition without trying eating healthy omnivore…because we are omnivores.
A human has a stomach pH of 1.5 like a scavenger which is why Japan can eat raw fish, raw meat and raw eggs and is the country with the highest life expectancy, but a rabbit also has a stomach pH of 1.5 but is a herbivore. A spider is a carnivore and has no teeth, a hagfish is a carnivore and has no jaw, a hippopotamus has a massive jaw and teeth but is a herbivore yet it can't move it's jaw to side to side like a herbivore, a crocodile has 80 teeth but does not use it for chewing, a chimp by age 25 has tooth decay from eating too much raw fruit and plant foods and dies at about 30 from a type of heart disease from consuming a mostly raw vegetarian diet. A camel can go 2 months without eating which is unheard of for a herbivore. A butterfly is a herbivore and lives for 2 weeks. Turritopsis dohrniiI is a carnivore and can live forever.
gorillas don't get dental problems, they eat all plants. carnivore life is incompatible with human longevity, but 'well done' for sowing confusion, I presume that's the intention!
Dr. Bill Schindler has the most reasoned take on human adaptation and our relationship with food. Other than Steve Blake's "Food Advertising Pyrimid" and how bad our current food relationship is, he is totally off-base here.
Not sure this is really that great. Sure they show a picture of a chimpanzee, but humans are also closely related to bonobos that have 2 very sharp fangs. A carnist could just say 'bonobos tho'.
World population skyrocketed with agribusiness greatly increasing yield while using far less labor. This was heavily driven by food products grown in a field. If the world went meat only, I doubt very much 8B people would be able to survive.
Well, after watching video to the end, I have remarks. 1. From evolutionary perspective humans evolved from fruit-eating apes. However we lack specific enzymes such as uricase which allows animals to eat a lot of fructose-containing foods. Humans on the contraty barely tolerate fructose. When eat a lot of such foods uric acid accumulates and damages and distroys many tissues like cartilage, liver, pancreas. 2. Genetics not only determins teeth, claws/nails, and jaw, but also stomach, intestines and enzymatic pathways. Humans in comparition to apes have long small intestine which allows to digest and absorb fast vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins. But we have very short colon where normally fermenting processes occour and allow animals to eat products of this fermentation like butyric acid (cows base on fat produced in colon by bacteria from fiber). herbivores (including rodents) have fully devopped appendix where new generations of bacteria multiply and mature. We, humans have it in vestigial non functioning form. Neartly all herbivores (plant eaters) are coprophages (poo eaters), because this way they absorb vitamins resolved from bacterial processes. Humans don't eat it and can't eati it. 3. genes such as APOE, especially variant broadly present in caucasian race e4/4 or diferent combinations like e4/3 determine which products this person can consume without having risk of development degenerative diseases and insulin resistance. Cariers of e4 barely tolerate glucose and fructose containg foods, but suffer up to 40x more degenerative diseases on such food (tau and amyloid Beta acuumulate in brain due to saturation of IDE - insulin degrading enzyme in the brain, and lack of another enzyme supporting transport of waste out of the cells. However when they eat meat and fat as basis of their nutrition and restrict carbohydrates they thrive and have the lowest rates of so called "civilization diseases". Very well adapted to high corbohydrate diet are Asians - cariers mostly of e2 and e3. 4. Humans are not raw food eaters. We've been eating processed foods by heat and fire for at least 20 thousand of years and we've adapted to it. We are pyravores/opsovores. We just tolerate some amounts and some types of plans and fruits. We can't eat raw seeds or raw legumes. We can't even eat a lot of green pea! (there was very high death occurance in Europe during XIX/XX century from this) We can eat at least some nuts. 5. Vegans have high incidence of vitamins deficiency. There is no vitamin B12 in plant foods. It is common emong vegans and vegetarians to have vitamin B1, B2 and B12 deficiencies (there are multiple robust medical studies about it). 6. There is no single diet appropriate to all humans especially when diseases are present. Some humans thrive on mostly plant diet, some thrive only on carnivore diet and many thrive on low carbhoydrate diet but deteriorate their health when eating planed based and/or high carbohydrate low fat diet... 7. Website of this channel in "about" section states "5. Animals being treated properly and not raised for food." This is vegan relgious and/or philosophical agenda, so in basic terms - it is suporitng just one side of medcial evidence even though it pretends to be scientific and unbiased. 9. So the lecture in this video and the whole site and channel is highly tendetious and biased.

Great comment.
@@Jeffs60 wow…I would love to see all the research papers that backs the stuff up??
Don't lions / tigers have a short life span?
@@Jeffs60 lions and tigers have about a 10 foot intestine. Humans have about a 24 foot intestinal track we are not designed to eat meat.

Humans are really carnivores with fire; must have fire.
World population skyrocketed with agribusiness greatly increasing yield while using far less labor.
This was heavily driven by food products grown in a field.
