Dr. Barnard is one of my whole food plant based heros. He helped me see the evil with animal products. We do not need to be cannibals to survive. In three years I went from 320lbs to 125lbs eating this way.
I'm an adult with asthma. I also have inflammation in my body and I'm lactose intolerant. This is my 2nd week with no dairy, no added sugar or refined carbs. I can't believe the difference already. It has been very hard, I am a food addict, but honestly worth it. I can't wait to see where I am in a year. I'm also phasing out all animal products. It's definitely going to be a journey but I want to live a good life, not just a long life. Although I do want a long life too.
To ease out the cravings, check out cashew and nuts _cheese_ or _milk_ recipes, they are a delicious replacement and affordable to make. I believe "you can do it" and won't regret it!

I’m so glad to be free of the last tiny amount of dairy I was eating. Watching the recent Panorama documentary in the UK was the final straw! If dairy farming is THAT difficult, that they have to impregnate the cows, kill the calf’s and carry on breeding freak unnatural animals that produce huge amount of milk, with udders almost touching the ground, something is very wrong! If something is that difficult, changes need to be made. Buying from small “dairy kind” suppliers is not the answer for our enormous ever growing population of humans. My love affair with cheese is well and truly over!
Thank you for talking about the ethical reasons Dr Barnard, it’s one the of most important issues that is mainly ignored when talking about ‘dairy’ and health as the cows health is completely ignored 😞 🐄 ❤️
I went veggie in August 1991. I suffered from endometriosis in 2006-2007 and had to have a laser ablation. I started getting fibromyalgia in 2009 and suffered for 10 Years. I went vegan in the autumn of 2019 for ethical reasons and my fibro flare-ups went away. I had 2 mild and 1 bad flare-up in the first 6 months or so and none in 2 years! I can't believe my doctor didn't inform me that dairy causes inflammation. I suffered for 10 years and I tell everyone now how bad dairy is.
Ever here a cow cry from not being milked - oh sorry it’s called “bellowing” which is slang for a crying cow - & where will the cows go to starve to death when you put dairy farmers out of business- see ya never think of the future for these animals your claiming to protect
Very true. All this obsession about what is good for health and if you look at what makes sense, in the simplest terms, the milk of each mammal is suited perfectly for the baby of that mammal. For how fast they grow. For example, a calf grows to full size in about a year. For humans to take that milk and drink it, they are taking something into their body that is suited for extreme growth. On the most basic level it doesn't make sense. When you take away all the bias and all that. It's important that we have empathy for other beings, otherwise the world will never ever become kinder. It just won't. And there are so many alternatives. Why would someone insist on drinking the milk that comes from another species? It's really bizarre actually. I mean why not cat milk or dog milk? You know it's just a cultural thing.
YES, dairy is bad for me. Let me explain. I learned many years ago about the negative effects of dairy to my body. Immediate issues: inflammation, indigestion, and sinus problems, to name a few. Likely long-term effects: high cholesterol, heart disease, and last but not least, cancer. So, I made the decision to eliminate dairy, and remained dairy free for years. Recently, I started eating dairy again, for about a month. My body had an instant adverse reaction. Now I have stopped consuming dairy, and I feel so much better. I will not do that to my body again. It was a very awful and painful lesson.

It’s surprising how much dairy effects the human body. For the last 20 years I thought that I developed allergies when I relocated to Texas. However that was not the case. 3 years ago a suggestion was made to maybe avoid dairy. I went from blowing a running nose daily all day to not needing to grab a tissue at all. I was never lactose intolerant either. But I’m so happy to be eating plants and not ingesting dairy. That little piece of advice was a game changer. Thank you for this podcast I look forward to it weekly.
I used to love dairy products and ate them every single day. Then, I quit them. Within a week, several, seemly unrelated, health conditions started to improve: breast and uterus issues, joint issues, skin conditions, stomach issues, allergies. I was healthy overall, or so I thought. I attributed my maladies to aging and environmental factors. After realizing what dairy was doing to my body, I don’t miss it at all; not even cheese. I see them as poisons. Many people, of course, wouldn’t believe this is the case. I didn’t believe it either; but try it for yourself and see how you feel after a couple of weeks.

@@Mockduck2020 Dear Lisa, Dairy evolved as a food that augments rapid cell division when infant mammals need rapid cell division to grow at the fastest rate in a their life. The last thing we want in life as a child or an adult is rapid cell division - dairy has been linked to both breast and prostate cancer. In addition - just think about how absurd it is to consume dairy from another species - not to mention the large carbon footprint dairy production has. Treat yourself to a fruit and vegetable smoothy - a step in the right direction! Hope you are well, Sincerely, Sam.
@@samuelfein6844 you make a good point. Cow's milk is for a baby that grows in 9 months from a baby to an adult. The milk is suited for that purpose. People take what 10 to 15 years or more to become an adult. This milk is not suited to humans. That may be a clue as to why there are links to different kinds of cancer. The China study is an interesting study on milk protein. They could literally turn cancer on and off by the amount of protein consumed and I do believe they were using milk protein, did not have the same results with plant-based proteins.
I was having way too much dairy and I developed Calcific Tendinitis on my right shoulder. I was out of work for 1 week! That was in September 2020. So far it’s been 1 year and a half of being tendinitis free! 2 years this September 🙏🏻 So I’ve been having dairy free substitutes and so far no problems with the stomach and tendinitis problems.
Raw dairy is key. I avoid pasteurized dairy because of congestivity from pasteurized dairy. Also, with raw milk, I don't refrigerate it, I let it culture ferment at ambient room temperature. The milk can be drunk from fresh through till whenever, usually within a week or two.
@@bonsummers2657 Yep!! Thanks! I was wondering what has happened to milk!! I grew up drinking cow milk straight from cow udder!! I will try to avoid pasteurized milk.
@@bonsummers2657 Yep i get you. To you i was just saying thanks to you for proving that milk is not bad except pasteurized one. I was wondering only about the documentary and that is why u said thanks to you because you made me realize that there is nothing wrong with raw natural cow milk 🐄🐄
dairy is a total health disaster, more importantly, a super cruel industry, watch this 5 minute video and gain 5 plus years of healthy extra life for yourselves and the cows, be loving and kind, be strong, help the planet, good luck :8)
Interesting how calcium supplements taken between meals increase chance of kidney stones. I never knew that. Thanks so much for sharing and giving your time to educate us. I listen to every Neal Barnard video I can find.
I discovered I had a huge intolerance to cows milk about fifteen years ago. It was only cows milk so I decided it was fine eating goats and sheeps cheese. This was fine for a few years and then my MS pointed me towards not eating dairy at all. It was only then that I started to think how weird it was that we were consuming another mammal’s breast milk. That was the beginning of my transition to veganism. You’re so right Dr. Barnard: lactose intolerance is nature’s way of telling us something.
@@lifeinitaly9983 I really don’t know to tell you the truth. I feel healthier than before and I know a huge number of people who have MS who are far worse than me but you may know that MS affects everyone in a different way.
@@kat2878 No plant based vegan but I also started on Dr. John Mcdougllas diet with being starch based with plants. Blood pressure still awesome and losing weight 👍🏻
@@JP-sq2dg thx - its hard to know the best diet - everything is low carb - but that just doesn't make sense to me - how can saturated fat be good for you -
@@kat2878 I only found the best diet in June 2022. The carnivore and keto diet put me in the ER with the worst blood pressure and panic attacks on 2 different occasions. I was scared and Dr. Neal Barnard changed everything for me. Dr. John McDougall showed me a sustainable way to eat. I hope this helps you.
I was getting vertigo, one doctor said it was a disease, mannier's disease, I read an article about dairy causing a fluid build up in the ear. I used to eat yogurt daily, tons of it. It went away when I quit dairy.
@@michaelscoots Dairy and sausages where intact animal organs like thyroids and milk protien resemble human tissue so closely that when the body recognizes the animal protein as a foreign invader as it should, the body starts looking for it and then it thinks your organs are animal proteins and attack it. The basis of auto immune diseases like Multipl Sclerosis, thyroid cancer, pediatric pancreatic cancer, the list goes on and on.
@@michaelscoots Since animal fats cause leaky gut these animal proteins do in fact get into the blood stream and cause inflammation and havoc through out the body. They can then make past the blood brain barrier and into the brain.
@@michaelscoots Not to mention the cholesterol gets stuck under the thin lining of the artery wall like when you get a splinter from wood, and it causes inflammation and calcification.
All I know is I used to consume tons of dairy it was one of my favorite foods and I would take an allergy pill everyday. Since I stopped dairy now I don't take anything and I'm not congested and sneezing all the time. However I'm still suffering from horrible joint pain so I still have to find out what foods are causing it. I stopped gluten and animal products for about 2 days now and I can already feel a decrease in pain
Another fantastic episode with Dr. Barnard and the information he's given through the exam room episodes has made it easier to consume a vegan Wfpb diet even though I am vegan( meaning that I avoid products outside of food that expoilt animals) not for health but for the animals but vegan Wfpb for health.
Help! Before going plant based, and getting my health back, I used to "run hot". Now that I have my health back, unfortunately I "run very cold". I also have Raynaud's, a painful condition that pulls blood away from fingers and toes when I get cold, which is all the time. I run a bit now, and my resting heart rate is about 48bbm. In the winter time, even a brisk walk isn't enough to warm me up. I don't hear much about this in the plant based community. Is there anything I can do to get warm?
Dr Barnard's Reversing Diabetes book was the first one I read when I started really tackling my health, 10 years ago. I've finally achieved it. Gave up dairy milk, and never missed it. Dairy is such a cruel industry.
Question: my mom who has eaten well all her life and walked daily, would drink a glass of milk everyday. She never had osteoporosis, but she got calcified arteries. I wondered whether that would have had anything to do with high milk consumption.?
Growing up I was on seven prescription medicines a day to control my asthma and allergies. I went vegan at 18 years old and haven’t needed a prescription medicine since!! ❤
I've become obsessed with unsweetened dried mango. I'm healthy and active at 33. If anything I have to work to maintain my weight when I'm training. Is too much dried fruit an issue?
Plus I only registered with osteoporosis within a year AFTER switching to plant proteins. I THINK there are general rules, but it is good to see how your OWN body responds to things.
Lol Save the brown cows. I like chocolate milk. Lol. ( kidding) I hate seeing the calves in little cow sheds chained away from their moms. There is a lot of farms around here. People do think chocolate milk comes from brown cows or the grocery store
It is absolutely crazy and yes very creepy that we still consume non human milk. No other species does this and certainly not past infancy. Thank you Dr. Barnard and PCRM for all that you do!
Coca Cola is sold in every school across the country making kids fatter & fatter diabetes before 5 in this country so SAD! but chocolate milk is the problem? So b/c animals don’t do it we can’t cuz you say so- Is respect your thoughts if you were taking the Coca Cola Vending machines and sugar drinks out of schools MILlk is the most Healthy thing served in school in comparison
Bragg liquid aminos have a lot of sodium. So, if you're eating whole foods plant based for high blood pressure (like I am) you'll probably want to avoid that, and miso paste as well. No need to season with extra salt.
Not a medical person, so this is just advice, but you could try eating more potassium rich foods such as bananas, and see if that helps. Potassium can help with cramps.
I can back up what Dr. Bernard said about asthma. I suffered from asthma for 25 years. When I eventually gave up dairy, the asthma was gone for ever within three days. No more attacks, no more inhalers. Dairy should be banned, or at least come with a health warning.
Raw dairy is key. I avoid pasteurized dairy because of congestivity from pasteurized dairy. Also, with raw milk, I don't refrigerate it, I let it culture ferment at ambient room temperature. The milk can be drunken from fresh through till whenever, usually within a week or two.
When i was 12 years old i was very ill with hepatitis from eating pork meat, since i began a vegetarian diet, i also stop diary products, when i turned 15 years old, i began eating yogurt and through the years i was fine never had health problems until now, i am 67 years old, all begon three years ago with guts problems, i started listening to everyone who s subject is don’t eat this but eat that and is in style, of course you have to eat healthy, the best is find what is best for you, what you believe, find yourself, through a long researched, i found God in me the answer was in me, so i began trusting , i now eat everything i Bless my food and buy mostly organic i don’t eat pork, liver, heart, etc i eat wel chicken, fish, and meat from grass feed cows and organic, i also. eat fruits and green vegetales as well as carrots, red beats, sweet potatoes, as well as potatoes so long as you dont eat too much it has to be a balance of everything, as well as drinken everything what is too much is not good, trust God who is the main source in our life to be healthy and alive. Putting God first in my life had heal my soul and physique, i am in balance and healthy. My advice is listen to your self because the answer is in you, and trust in God. God Bless you all.
Milk also makes a calf of about 29kilos grow to about 600 kilos in just over a year because of the grow hormone insulin like growth factor one can help breast & prostate cancers grow fast.

My doctor stated that since I don't have a n appendix to digest greens I cannot digest greens leafy vegetables. I am vegan. Another doctor states just eat cooked green leafy vegetables. Please help me to understand these comments.
Buongiorno doctore monak! Talking about a milking when you diagnose of a breast cancer, if I may ask! Is it better to stay awar from milk or skin milk toataly or not?
Watching the replay. Did not know sugar was the number one nutrient in milk is sugar. I have removed it from my diet because of allergies to it that developed in my late 30’s.
Cows eat plants. So if there are pesticides on the plants the pesticides will be concentrated in the cows and when you eat products from the cows, you eat concentrated pesticides. So you better decide to eat plants from biological farming.😉
Great interview! I think there is nothing wrong with taking a supplement with well balanced (!) nutrients, like Calcium, B12, B2, cholin, zinc, EPA/DHA, iodine just to make sure, you have no deficits when you decide to go vegan. In germany you can buy very good products!
Cream of broccoli and potato soup with soy milk, lots of garlic, ground celery seed, thyme and of course nutritional yeast sounds like a good source of calcium to me.
Is nonfat Greek yogurt an exception? No saturated fat, very little lactose, studies that suggest added benefits over other nonfat dairy products.... - is it a healthful food overall? Is the estrogen content reduced by the activities of the yogurt-culture bacteria? And what about the probiotic benefits?
Never even thought about the estrogen. Given that my cancer was an estrogen "eating" cancer and I'm on medication to block estrogen, I'm now even more happy that I make my own yogurt out of plain soy milk...
I got breast cancer 7 years ago, and was told to avoid soy like the plague, because of the high estrogen. It's in EVERYTHING we eat these days (processed food, like deli meats, cooked ham, biscuits, cereals, etc) so the last thing you need is to be eating more soy if there's a risk of bc such as a family history, environmental issues and so on. You may have heard that menopausal women are often advised to boost their soy intake for that very reason - they need more estrogen. But this can be a double-edged sword, so be very careful with soy!
It very unhealthy for a two day old male calf. He was born to induce the cow to produce milk. But we want that cows milk so he will be killed and dumped in a compost heap or a rubbish skip when he is two days old because males are no good they cannot produce milk.. Female calves may go on to produce milk themselves but she too is ripped away from her mum. The female calf will soon be raped in the AI process and any calves will be ripped away from her too. Mum bawls for a long time once her calves are removed but we want her milk, her calves cant have it. Still very young, the cows milk production goes down, then she is brutally killed and chopped up for her meat for us. What a brutal, cruel species we are. Cows are such nice furry , friendly things.
I no longer consume dairy and am a PBWF guy. But this argument is very one-sided and does not take into account some of the benefits of low fat, lactose free, or fermented dairy options in moderation. Diet is not a zero-sum game. When influencers ignore the opposing viewpoint for the sake of promoting their own agendas, I hold them suspect.
My non Vegan friend hated Vegis. I told him when I went Vegan I hated Vegetables then I started eating just barely cooked vegis and the taste is amazing. I told him. Boil a kettle of water. Cut up Broccoli add to a deep bowl, Cover your Broccoli in boiled water, cover it. Cook your meal then add the Broccoli to your plate. The following week he told me he tried it and it was so delicious, he couldn't believe it. He went vegetarian and stopped dairy milk in his coffee & ceral.
Most people that don't like vegetables have simply never had vegetables done the right way. One of the simplest ways to make the most delicious vegetables ever and this would apply to broccoli garlic cauliflower, brussel sprouts.... Is to roast them. They are amazing roasted
We make our own juices and drink them daily. Does juicing green leafy vegetables still provide calcium or do you have to eat the green leafy vegetables to receive the calcium benefit?
I detest the exploitation of cows to make dairy, but another day I made the sin to get some organic kefir to help with my gut and constipation PLUS vegetarian capsules Reuteri. The result was positive. Is there a vegetarian alternative to Kefir?
I guess properly fermented vegetables, the ones u pickle in a jar for winter , ones unpasteurised or something. I think gotta be home made im no expert :)
Thank you for this podcast! You covered health risks of milk and most milk derivatives like cheese, butter, etc., but what about yogurt and buttermilk? Are they any better or equally bad? Thanks in advance.
Dairy is dairy. There's no way around it. It all comes from the same source. It all has lactose. There are many alternatives. I use a coconut based yogurt. It's way better than any of the other soy yogurts I think in my opinion anyway, The texture is thick and wonderful, culina is the brand. And either way it all comes from the same cruel industry, if you care about that some do some do not. As far as health, there are so many alternatives. There's no reason to eat dairy.
Dr. Barnard is one of my whole food plant based heros. He helped me see the evil with animal products. We do not need to be cannibals to survive. In three years I went from 320lbs to 125lbs eating this way.

The last thing we want in life as a child or an adult is rapid cell division - dairy has been linked to both breast and prostate cancer. In addition - just think about how absurd it is to consume dairy from another species - not to mention the large carbon footprint dairy production has. Treat yourself to a fruit and vegetable smoothy - a step in the right direction! Hope you are well, Sincerely, Sam.
And never do mammals other than humans, consume any milk from other species than their own!!!!!! 🤦♀️
@@samuelfein6844 you make a good point. Cow's milk is for a baby that grows in 9 months from a baby to an adult. The milk is suited for that purpose. People take what 10 to 15 years or more to become an adult. This milk is not suited to humans. That may be a clue as to why there are links to different kinds of cancer. The China study is an interesting study on milk protein. They could literally turn cancer on and off by the amount of protein consumed and I do believe they were using milk protein, did not have the same results with plant-based proteins.
@@Mockduck2020 Including humans. If adult humans would need dairy then our own mothers would keep producing it.
I was having way too much dairy and I developed Calcific Tendinitis on my right shoulder. I was out of work for 1 week! That was in September 2020. So far it’s been 1 year and a half of being tendinitis free! 2 years this September 🙏🏻 So I’ve been having dairy free substitutes and so far no problems with the stomach and tendinitis problems.
Raw dairy is key. I avoid pasteurized dairy because of congestivity from pasteurized dairy. Also, with raw milk, I don't refrigerate it, I let it culture ferment at ambient room temperature. The milk can be drunk from fresh through till whenever, usually within a week or two.
@@bonsummers2657 Yep!! Thanks! I was wondering what has happened to milk!! I grew up drinking cow milk straight from cow udder!! I will try to avoid pasteurized milk.
@@muitolinkemsky btw, I meant 'drunk' as past participle of drink, verb.
@@bonsummers2657 Yep i get you. To you i was just saying thanks to you for proving that milk is not bad except pasteurized one. I was wondering only about the documentary and that is why u said thanks to you because you made me realize that there is nothing wrong with raw natural cow milk 🐄🐄
dairy is a total health disaster, more importantly, a super cruel industry, watch this 5 minute video and gain 5 plus years of healthy extra life for yourselves and the cows, be loving and kind, be strong, help the planet, good luck :8)

I like watching these videos with dr Barnard because they are backed by research and gives some good insight in this kind of diet
The doctor was an excellent source for knowledge and his presentation was superb!
Interesting how calcium supplements taken between meals increase chance of kidney stones. I never knew that. Thanks so much for sharing and giving your time to educate us. I listen to every Neal Barnard video I can find.
I discovered I had a huge intolerance to cows milk about fifteen years ago. It was only cows milk so I decided it was fine eating goats and sheeps cheese. This was fine for a few years and then my MS pointed me towards not eating dairy at all. It was only then that I started to think how weird it was that we were consuming another mammal’s breast milk. That was the beginning of my transition to veganism.
You’re so right Dr. Barnard: lactose intolerance is nature’s way of telling us something.
Hi, how do you feel now? As it helped with your MS?
@@lifeinitaly9983 I really don’t know to tell you the truth. I feel healthier than before and I know a huge number of people who have MS who are far worse than me but you may know that MS affects everyone in a different way.
Getting rid of meat and especially dairy has dramatically improved my chronic hives! I'll never go back. This way of eating has helped me so much!
I just love Dr. B. He’s such an inspiration ❤
My high blood pressure was completely normal in 2 weeks. Dr. Neal Barnard is saving lives!!!!
from doing what? just giving up dairy?
@@kat2878 No plant based vegan but I also started on Dr. John Mcdougllas diet with being starch based with plants. Blood pressure still awesome and losing weight 👍🏻
@@JP-sq2dg thx - its hard to know the best diet - everything is low carb - but that just doesn't make sense to me - how can saturated fat be good for you -
@@kat2878 I only found the best diet in June 2022. The carnivore and keto diet put me in the ER with the worst blood pressure and panic attacks on 2 different occasions. I was scared and Dr. Neal Barnard changed everything for me. Dr. John McDougall showed me a sustainable way to eat. I hope this helps you.
@@JP-sq2dg thank you so much - glad you are feeling better!!!!!!
Just what I needed and wanted a topic on! Love this show! Great questions, many that I had on plant milk, thank you!

I was getting vertigo, one doctor said it was a disease, mannier's disease, I read an article about dairy causing a fluid build up in the ear. I used to eat yogurt daily, tons of it. It went away when I quit dairy.
The Epstein Barr virus feeds off dairy and eggs - it causes the symptoms. Check out Medical Medium.
@@michaelscoots Dairy and sausages where intact animal organs like thyroids and milk protien resemble human tissue so closely that when the body recognizes the animal protein as a foreign invader as it should, the body starts looking for it and then it thinks your organs are animal proteins and attack it. The basis of auto immune diseases like Multipl Sclerosis, thyroid cancer, pediatric pancreatic cancer, the list goes on and on.
@@michaelscoots Since animal fats cause leaky gut these animal proteins do in fact get into the blood stream and cause inflammation and havoc through out the body. They can then make past the blood brain barrier and into the brain.
@@michaelscoots Not to mention the cholesterol gets stuck under the thin lining of the artery wall like when you get a splinter from wood, and it causes inflammation and calcification.
All I know is I used to consume tons of dairy it was one of my favorite foods and I would take an allergy pill everyday. Since I stopped dairy now I don't take anything and I'm not congested and sneezing all the time. However I'm still suffering from horrible joint pain so I still have to find out what foods are causing it. I stopped gluten and animal products for about 2 days now and I can already feel a decrease in pain
carbs. look into insulin resistance and inflammation
Such an amazing show!!! Thank you so much for all your hard work. Can you try to snag an interview with Dr Esselstyn ???
Another fantastic episode with Dr. Barnard and the information he's given through the exam room episodes has made it easier to consume a vegan Wfpb diet even though I am vegan( meaning that I avoid products outside of food that expoilt animals) not for health but for the animals but vegan Wfpb for health.
Thanks a bunch, Chuck and Dr. Barnard!
🤍
thank you, dr Barnard and Chuck!💖💖💖
Help!
Before going plant based, and getting my health back, I used to "run hot". Now that I have my health back, unfortunately I "run very cold". I also have Raynaud's, a painful condition that pulls blood away from fingers and toes when I get cold, which is all the time. I run a bit now, and my resting heart rate is about 48bbm. In the winter time, even a brisk walk isn't enough to warm me up.
I don't hear much about this in the plant based community. Is there anything I can do to get warm?
Hi Michael, maybe have your Vitamin B12 levels checked?
Also, a good Magnesium supplement may help.
Warm regards to you.😊
Also you might want to get your thyroid hormone levels checked.
Excellent information, as always! Thank you both for your efforts.
My favorite doc! Thank you both.
Dr Barnard's Reversing Diabetes book was the first one I read when I started really tackling my health, 10 years ago. I've finally achieved it. Gave up dairy milk, and never missed it. Dairy is such a cruel industry.
Question: my mom who has eaten well all her life and walked daily, would drink a glass of milk everyday. She never had osteoporosis, but she got calcified arteries. I wondered whether that would have had anything to do with high milk consumption.?
Growing up I was on seven prescription medicines a day to control my asthma and allergies. I went vegan at 18 years old and haven’t needed a prescription medicine since!! ❤
I HAD SOMEONE I KNOW SAY THIS WEEK HE WAS AVOIDING DAIRY, NOW THIS COMES UP. OK WILL MAKE A CHANGE TOMORROW.
I've become obsessed with unsweetened dried mango. I'm healthy and active at 33. If anything I have to work to maintain my weight when I'm training. Is too much dried fruit an issue?
I am obsessed with mangos too🙂 Try frozen dry version, delicious, much less sugar than 'sun' dried version, 98% of vitamins and minerals kept
Plus I only registered with osteoporosis within a year AFTER switching to plant proteins. I THINK there are general rules, but it is good to see how your OWN body responds to things.
Great show, gentlemen! Thank you!
Absolutely loved this episode. Great thank you to dr Barnard!
Very helpful information. Thanks Dr. Barnard.
people say inherited conditions.inherited poor eating habits.
In first 5 minutes, the guy completely destroyed dairy industry. What a legend
Lol Save the brown cows. I like chocolate milk. Lol. ( kidding) I hate seeing the calves in little cow sheds chained away from their moms. There is a lot of farms around here. People do think chocolate milk comes from brown cows or the grocery store
he really can sell veganism to likely even the least wanting!
It is absolutely crazy and yes very creepy that we still consume non human milk. No other species does this and certainly not past infancy. Thank you Dr. Barnard and PCRM for all that you do!
Coca Cola is sold in every school across the country making kids fatter & fatter diabetes before 5 in this country so SAD! but chocolate milk is the problem? So b/c animals don’t do it we can’t cuz you say so- Is respect your thoughts if you were taking the Coca Cola Vending machines and sugar drinks out of schools MILlk is the most Healthy thing served in school in comparison
Amaranth leaves have alot of calcium per serving.
what about curd?? does not it says that its molecular structure has been changed ? is it not good?
Bragg liquid aminos have a lot of sodium. So, if you're eating whole foods plant based for high blood pressure (like I am) you'll probably want to avoid that, and miso paste as well. No need to season with extra salt.
For some reason, if I don’t supplement calcium at about 1500 mg daily, I get leg and foot. Cramps. I use red algae calcium. Is that ok?
Not a medical person, so this is just advice, but you could try eating more potassium rich foods such as bananas, and see if that helps. Potassium can help with cramps.
Are you on meds for anything?
❤❤❤THIS VIDEO Thank you Dr Barnard for making this I’ve shared this w ALL MY CLIENTS
Thank You 💖 I love Dr. Barnard 💖
Extremely informative, Thank you.
Pls bring Dr b again!! 😃
I can back up what Dr. Bernard said about asthma. I suffered from asthma for 25 years. When I eventually gave up dairy, the asthma was gone for ever within three days. No more attacks, no more inhalers. Dairy should be banned, or at least come with a health warning.
Raw dairy is key. I avoid pasteurized dairy because of congestivity from pasteurized dairy. Also, with raw milk, I don't refrigerate it, I let it culture ferment at ambient room temperature. The milk can be drunken from fresh through till whenever, usually within a week or two.
When i was 12 years old i was very ill with hepatitis from eating pork meat, since i began a vegetarian diet, i also stop diary products, when i turned 15 years old, i began eating yogurt and through the years i was fine never had health problems until now, i am 67 years old, all begon three years ago with guts problems, i started listening to everyone who s subject is don’t eat this but eat that and is in style, of course you have to eat healthy, the best is find what is best for you, what you believe, find yourself, through a long researched, i found God in me the answer was in me, so i began trusting , i now eat everything i Bless my food and buy mostly organic i don’t eat pork, liver, heart, etc i eat wel chicken, fish, and meat from grass feed cows and organic, i also. eat fruits and green vegetales as well as carrots, red beats, sweet potatoes, as well as potatoes so long as you dont eat too much it has to be a balance of everything, as well as drinken everything what is too much is not good, trust God who is the main source in our life to be healthy and alive. Putting God first in my life had heal my soul and physique, i am in balance and healthy. My advice is listen to your self because the answer is in you, and trust in God. God Bless you all.
Love your shirt and tie Chuck! ☃️❤
Milk also makes a calf of about 29kilos grow to about 600 kilos in just over a year because of the grow hormone insulin like growth factor one can help breast & prostate cancers grow fast.
Great podcast! How about almond cheese that has some Casien. All the other plant-based cheese have lots of coconut oil. How bad is the casien. Ty
What about plant butter? Does anyone know if that's good or bad?
It's now December 2022 and I'm rewatching this video. Great looking shirt, Chuck. Do tell me where you shop. I live about 5 or 6 miles from your studio offices in Maryland, so maybe I can pick up such sharp looking shirts and ties.
My doctor stated that since I don't have a n appendix to digest greens I cannot digest greens leafy vegetables. I am vegan. Another doctor states just eat cooked green leafy vegetables. Please help me to understand these comments.
Buongiorno doctore monak! Talking about a milking when you diagnose of a breast cancer, if I may ask! Is it better to stay awar from milk or skin milk toataly or not?
Watching the replay. Did not know sugar was the number one nutrient in milk is sugar. I have removed it from my diet because of allergies to it that developed in my late 30’s.
Can you please address the issues of pesticides used on plant foods and there effects with our health?
Cows eat plants. So if there are pesticides on the plants the pesticides will be concentrated in the cows and when you eat products from the cows, you eat concentrated pesticides.
So you better decide to eat plants from biological farming.😉
Just eat and be happy, plant base diet also can also cause oxalate problem.
Great interview!
I think there is nothing wrong with taking a supplement with well balanced (!) nutrients, like Calcium, B12, B2, cholin, zinc, EPA/DHA, iodine just to make sure, you have no deficits when you decide to go vegan.
In germany you can buy very good products!
Cream of broccoli and potato soup with soy milk, lots of garlic, ground celery seed, thyme and of course nutritional yeast sounds like a good source of calcium to me.
Is nonfat Greek yogurt an exception? No saturated fat, very little lactose, studies that suggest added benefits over other nonfat dairy products.... - is it a healthful food overall?
Is the estrogen content reduced by the activities of the yogurt-culture bacteria? And what about the probiotic benefits?
Thanks for sharing the information. You are the best. 🙏🏼👌🏾
Never even thought about the estrogen. Given that my cancer was an estrogen "eating" cancer and I'm on medication to block estrogen, I'm now even more happy that I make my own yogurt out of plain soy milk...
Estrogen can be made from soy…
@@Mockduck2020 Mammalian active estrogen can not be made from soy, fytoestrogen acts entirely different in our bodies and protects us.
@@Mockduck2020 if its g.m.o....
@@11235Aodh seems to me the pharmaceutical companies are selling estrogen made from pregnant horse pee so I still believe it can be made from soy.
I got breast cancer 7 years ago, and was told to avoid soy like the plague, because of the high estrogen. It's in EVERYTHING we eat these days (processed food, like deli meats, cooked ham, biscuits, cereals, etc) so the last thing you need is to be eating more soy if there's a risk of bc such as a family history, environmental issues and so on. You may have heard that menopausal women are often advised to boost their soy intake for that very reason - they need more estrogen. But this can be a double-edged sword, so be very careful with soy!
I wish I heard this info 30 years ago! Starting plant based in my 50s now
It very unhealthy for a two day old male calf. He was born to induce the cow to produce milk. But we want that cows milk so he will be killed and dumped in a compost heap or a rubbish skip when he is two days old because males are no good they cannot produce milk.. Female calves may go on to produce milk themselves but she too is ripped away from her mum. The female calf will soon be raped in the AI process and any calves will be ripped away from her too. Mum bawls for a long time once her calves are removed but we want her milk, her calves cant have it. Still very young, the cows milk production goes down, then she is brutally killed and chopped up for her meat for us. What a brutal, cruel species we are. Cows are such nice furry , friendly things.
I dont think you peoplle have ever lived in the real world....
I no longer consume dairy and am a PBWF guy. But this argument is very one-sided and does not take into account some of the benefits of low fat, lactose free, or fermented dairy options in moderation. Diet is not a zero-sum game. When influencers ignore the opposing viewpoint for the sake of promoting their own agendas, I hold them suspect.
Thank you for educating us..!!
My non Vegan friend hated Vegis. I told him when I went Vegan I hated Vegetables then I started eating just barely cooked vegis and the taste is amazing. I told him. Boil a kettle of water. Cut up Broccoli add to a deep bowl, Cover your Broccoli in boiled water, cover it. Cook your meal then add the Broccoli to your plate. The following week he told me he tried it and it was so delicious, he couldn't believe it. He went vegetarian and stopped dairy milk in his coffee & ceral.
Most people that don't like vegetables have simply never had vegetables done the right way. One of the simplest ways to make the most delicious vegetables ever and this would apply to broccoli garlic cauliflower, brussel sprouts.... Is to roast them. They are amazing roasted
We make our own juices and drink them daily. Does juicing green leafy vegetables still provide calcium or do you have to eat the green leafy vegetables to receive the calcium benefit?
I need a "cheat sheet" to share with my husband who eats diary mostly cheese and milk. He probably won't watch a long video.
Let him watch the first 10 minutes.
Great interview! it would be wonderful if you can provide the links to the researchs and studys he mention to backup the information he is giving us
Thank you ! For answering my question 😃
I like my green veggies (and beans and lentils) thoroughly cooked. Does this eliminate the calcium? Thank you
Yep, over cooking veg destroys all nutrients. This is basic science any element changes when exposed to heat.
Try Broccolini instead of Broccoli. It's a bit hard to find, but we get ours from Trader Joes. I don;t like regular broccoli, but broccolini is fine.
Is this the veg called bimi? It's like skinny broccoli, and you can eat all of the stalks. Tastes quite sweet.
Is spring water the same as mineral water? What are some mineral water brand??
Hi Dr. Barnard. What about milk kefir? I take this as my prebiotic. Do I cut this as well?
why is that so complicated to understand ?
I detest the exploitation of cows to make dairy, but another day I made the sin to get some organic kefir to help with my gut and constipation PLUS vegetarian capsules Reuteri. The result was positive. Is there a vegetarian alternative to Kefir?
I guess properly fermented vegetables, the ones u pickle in a jar for winter , ones unpasteurised or something. I think gotta be home made im no expert :)
Can you do a vdeo about leafy greens and plants *not wanting to be eaten*. When are they harmful or helpful.
Thank you . 💕💕💕💕
Have some sesame seeds for vegan 🌱, I’m vegan I’m do not have calcium deficiency by the way I love this program since I have thyroid.
Thank you for this podcast! You covered health risks of milk and most milk derivatives like cheese, butter, etc., but what about yogurt and buttermilk? Are they any better or equally bad? Thanks in advance.
Dairy is dairy. There's no way around it. It all comes from the same source. It all has lactose. There are many alternatives. I use a coconut based yogurt. It's way better than any of the other soy yogurts I think in my opinion anyway, The texture is thick and wonderful, culina is the brand. And either way it all comes from the same cruel industry, if you care about that some do some do not. As far as health, there are so many alternatives. There's no reason to eat dairy.
