Dr. Barnard, you have such a calm, reassuring method of telling people about this subject. I am 100% whole food plant based, SOS free and this is so encouraging to know what a variety of benefits this lifestyle brings. Thank you for the lives you are saving.
I did keto for 1 year and my cholesterol drop 100 points. Triglycerides normal. Liver, a1c, kidneys, blood work normal, etc. I prefer the veggies and grains diet. I don't need meat but I have to say, I was shocked at the results. I now eat very little meat and mostly veggies. No grains and very little fruit. All blood work is still good but my fasting glucose is 100, a1c 5.4. On keto it was 89, a1c 5.2. Still learning. Great video
Pumpkin seeds have 12.5 grams saturated fat per quarter cup. I am NOT giving them up! Dr. Barnard had the best bed side manner of any doctor on u tube. what a nice guy!
barnard is using "alzheimer's" and "dementia" interchangeably. can we get a distinction between naturally occurring dementia and the anthropogenic toxicity of alzheimer's ?
This man should give us report of hid cognoscopy every 4 to 5 years. This is what a good ethical preacher should do. Because even if diet fails down the road due to deficiency, at least the doctor will retain some respect. He should definitely share his cognoscopy results with his followers every 4 to 5 years.
Thank you so much for this interview I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis is sprouted tofu okay to eat with this condition? I care a lot of people and doctors saying to stay away from soy, is this true for somebody with Hashimoto's?
Don't worry too much, there are lots of causes for this... and in your 20s it would be incredibly rare for it to be a form of dementia (although there are types that do effect people at a very very early age). If you're really concerned you should visit the doctors and see if they could administer a memory test :-)
Food most definitely changes your brain chemistry and health. He is one of very few psychiatrists who recognize food is important. He is wrong about the "sat fat" in meat versus healthy fat in plants tho. Olive oil and bacon fat, for instance are primarily monounsaturated fat in similar percentages and red meat is just 24% sat fat versus 15% in olive oil. All foods with fats have mixed fat profiles ie they have mono, saturated and polyunsaturated fats. I don't see how sat fat in olive or avocado oil is better than sat fat from bacon. As for "bad fat" raising your cholesterol, sat fat increases your hdl and ldl. If you are not insulin resistant, which sadly is likely less than 40% of the population, the higher ldl ia not necessarily a risk factor. Metabolic syndrome increases your risk of cardio events by 30%, similar to smoking. Higher ldl is less than 2% increased risk. Fat does not cause resistance. Insulin doesn't respond to fat- it responds to glucose. Glucose =half of sugar, and starches like bread, rice, corn and potatoes. More carbs means higher glucose and higher insulin to control the blood glucose. If you are eating a lot of fiber, maybe that blunts the glucose spike. But if you look at the glycemic level of whole what bread, for instance, it's pretty high. You could maybe get to low glucose levels with non starchy vegetables. It would be necessary to use a cgm if you want to attempt vegan or vegetarian keto. I can't do grains at all without spiking my glucose, the fiber content doesn't seem to matter.

This video is powerful ! Thank you so much Dr. Barnard 😊
Good show

Excellent. Thank you.

Organic Vegan Diet is the best nutrition for humans
but let's keep it doable
ANY veggies are better than reducing veggies bc organics are too expensive
everything in moderation (except garlic).
@TheCBC1984
No
....moderation with the wrong foods still kills you...bc youre still pouring gasoline on the fire

Frm 6.8 ha1c became now 6.2 in 3 months on a plant based whole foods nd no dairies like cheese, cow's milk.
Oatmeal nd almond milk better.
oatmeal can be loaded with roundup

Names and words have escaped me since I was in my 20s.

112 bs, dosage on metformin lower now frm 500 to 250 mg
How are plant based diets healthy when they seem high in fat ? .
Plant-based diets are low in saturated fat and high in fiber, which helps the body to regulate blood sugar and properly absorb nutrients.
Dr. Barnard, N of one.... Whenever I stop drinking coffee, I have no hot flushes of any kind. As soon as I drink coffee: Pfffff!!!! OMG
