I attended Dr. Barnard's session in Phoenix early 1990, and have his signed treasure book. I've been organic vegan since 1976 and have become so aware of my fingers - which are pickers without claws! My teeth are not fangs, they are square chewers! Thank you forever for your precious teaching. I'm so grateful with love ...
What difference does it make what type of jaw and teeth an animal has for what type of food they should eat? What about a jawless carnivorous hagfish, or a toothless carnivorous spider, or a massive jaw and toothed herbivorous hippopotamus or the many carnivorous plants?
I eat a huge bag of beet greens and baby spinach in a salad every day so I can get as much potassium in as possible. I also switched to heart salt with twice the potassium as sodium. I also eat potato and sweet potato regularly. And I walk, run, drink plenty of water and get lots of sleep.
In regard to the question about cholesterol. I was diagnosed with high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and high blood sugar when I was 17 (almost 40 years ago). I cut way back on animal products and added more fiberous foods and my levels went to normal within a month. I ended up going vegetarian, and eventually. became vegan. I still sometimes have high cholesterol issues, but I believe it is from eating products like vegan cheese and foods with palm oil (vegan butter, cheese, and yogurt).
My doctor has ACTUALLY changed his diet to VEGAN. Doctor Barnard you are sooo right about blood pressure. Mine goes sky high when going to Dr. Told I had high blood pressure wanted me to take pills (not the vegan one) another one. That’s when I changed my BREATHING. That has everything to do with our health. We can stop eating for quite a while but not our breathing. Love FRUIT for me is tops. Veggies next no meat dairy eggs oil. Thanks for all you do.
My..whole food diet..is old fashioned oatmeal, brown rice, and Walmart carries a dry bean 15 bean mix...amazing..we don't use there flavor...package..instapot works well with all of these..it's amazing how you can eat all day and still lose weight..be encouraged
I saw a comment in the chat from someone who said they don't eat beans. I can't imagine how anyone could live without beans! They have been a staple in my diet since I was born!
I don't need to lose any weight, at all, but to maintain my weight on a vegan/vegetarian diet it seems nuts, avocado, olive oil, in moderation, would be a healthy way to add calories for maintenance.
I am very active and don't need anything special for weight maintenance. The more active I am, the hungryer I am. So, I naturally get more calories regardless of source. I do lean into beans, whole grains and fruit on days that I feel really hungry. I also eat some nuts and avocado but not much (1 or 2 servings a day on average). For my elderly mom who doesn't feel as hungry, I told her to eat more dried fruit in addition to the beans and whole grains. Just to make sure she gets enough calories.
@Amanda_downunder diabetics and people with liver disease cannot have carbs and starch. The liver turned these into fat. I watch Dennis Pullock videos instead.
I don’t need to lose any weight but trying hard to get Blood Pressure down. I was previously on the Mediterranean diet but wasn’t achieving my goal. I just started the DASH diet but I am excluding dairy except for Non Fat Greek Yogurt and I am excluding cooking with any fat. If the original DASH diet had excluded dairy I think it would have beat the Mediterranean diet. Any thoughts?
@@samorr4My husband and I just celebrated our 8th anniversary of Whole food Plant based lifestyle. Zero med/zero health issues. We feel amazing every day. Best decision we ever made. You should try it.... maybe it will help with your negative mindset 🥰👍🌱💪. Oh yes forgot to add we are both 65....my husband has been paddling outrigger canoes for 30+ years. He could probably run circles around you. Have a great day😊
Physicians Committee is a great marketing gimmick. This organization is a VEGAN and ANIMAL RIGHTS group and what they present as "Science" is a long way from science. Is Dr. Barnard a 7th Day Adventist?? I do not know, but he sounds like one. ????
Horrible advice. Neither cholesterol nor saturated fat increases risk. Carbs, glucose, fructose, and sodium increase risk. And very low carb diet works better than either Dash or Med. Eg: In The Annals of Family Medicine was a new study published in May 2023: "CONCLUSIONS For adults with hypertension, prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, and overweight or obesity, the VLC diet resulted in greater improvements in systolic blood pressure, glycemic control, and weight over a 4-month period compared with the DASH diet. These findings suggest that larger trials with longer follow-up are warranted to determine whether the VLC diet might be more beneficial for disease management than the DASH diet for these high-risk adults." Here's a list of smarter doctors: Dr. Eric Westman head of the Duke University Keto Lab Dr. Robert Lufkin at UCSF Dr. Ken Berry Shawn Baker MD Dr. Richard Johnson at Denver Univ. Dr. Robert Lustig Dr. Eric Berg Dr. Sten Ekberg Dr. Ben Bikman
Dr Ben Bikman is not a medical doctor. I haven’t checked the other ‘doctors’ on your list but I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them weren’t doctors either. There’s a difference between a PhD researcher and a medical physician.
Just hearing Chuck uplifts all the good vibes. And love Dr. Neal Bernard and his concise and clear science on our health.
I agree 100%!🌞
I started eating low fat whole foods 1 month ago and already lost 10lbs! Love this podcast. Keeps me motivated to keep going!
This program has kept me joyfully committed to a WFPB diet and healthy lifestyle. Thanks again for your generosity.

Another great episode, love you guys!! Dr Barnard always so kind and humble, my fave plant doc in the world!

Neal tells it like it is ❤
Oils are not healthy

Food issues. So tiresome
This was a great podcast. I’ve learned a lot today. I like the analysis between the dash diet vs the Mediterranean diet.
Very enjoyable episode 👍. Thank you 🙏
Nice new specs and frames Chuck!
Great talk.
Great info gentlemen!

Great show!
Great thank you. Do you have a video on the carnivore diet? 🙏

Whole grains are relatively high in calories too

@@jbach1841 agree, and I've increased my oatmeal consumption lately.
My blood pressure is drastically reduced when I reduce the sodium.
Dr. Barnard forgot to mention that beans, peas and lentils are super high in protein! 💪🙂🌱
yes, and Dr McDougall say rice and potatoes are often enough, he says we don't need that much, we need calories and starch, veg, fruit, easy !
@Amanda_downunder diabetics and people with liver disease cannot have carbs and starch. The liver turned these into fat. I watch Dennis Pullock videos instead.
Seaweed isn’t really going to fit into a westerners daily diet. Maybe occasionally. Other sources of iodine?
I don’t need to lose any weight but trying hard to get Blood Pressure down. I was previously on the Mediterranean diet but wasn’t achieving my goal.

You may have low potassium, you can get more in all the veggies and grain, or add some in with potassium powder or in the salt alternatives.
150 countries with only 470k subs. Interesting
You can't eat olives off the tree. Anyone with an olive tree knows this.
Who has an olive tree? 😅
Thanks. We learn something new everyday. ♥️
Anything with meat Barnard will hate
Yes! He is largely full of BS, but he is a good presenter, a veritable P.T. Barnum in my opinion!
Then why do you bother watching his podcast?

@@samorr4 don't get all flustered because meat is unhealthy. barnard is just the messenger.
yes and rightly so.
Neither works for lowering blood pressure. Don't waste your time.

Please tell the science.
Please state and demonstrate Pascal's law of pressure. Have you heard of Pascal before hey?
