Except that he's a vegetarian and thus advocates a nutrient-deficient diet. Populations that eat only plants have stunted children. It's not appropriate for humans to eat only plants.
@@AndreAngelantoni~ that’s funny. Anti vegans frequently say there has never been a vegan culture that survived and now you’re saying there is but they’re stunted. Which is it? It’d be interesting to see some quality evidence for that claim. I’m pretty confident it would be pretty easy to find counter evidence for it.
@@ART_EYELANDWhat people are referring to are hunter-gatherer populations, of which not one has been discovered that eschewed the nutrients from animals. Feel free to share one that has (you won't find one). If you want to see a modern population with many vegetarians (~40%) and enormous malnutrition, look at India. While you are at it, google "india childhood stunting" and you'll discover: "With the most recent data on undernutrition released from the Indian nationwide survey in 2021, among children under five, 35.5% were stunted, 19.3% were wasted, and 32.1% were underweight. Jun 7, 2023" Again, please feel free to share a population of plant-only eaters that isn't experiencing stunting with their children. In fact, when agriculture was invented and our diet moved to mostly plants (primarily crappy grains), the fossil record shows humans lost height. It took thousands of years for us to get that height back.
@@AndreAngelantoni Greger is not a physician as he never was able to complete his residency so he has no license or board certification in anything and so has no experience since he never saw one patient and his 650 page books which keep people even more sedentary than they should be are not accredited by anything. Would you get on a plane or get dental work by someone with no license or experience in anything?
What he mentions about living longer and how it's the small life style things that people do to get them to about 80% of optimal health is probably the most practical thing I've heard from any Doctor when it comes to aging and living longer. It was a very informative talk though he dose talk extremely fast. I'm going to get that book.
It's obvious that almost NONE of the commenters watched the video. They just said " Hey! isnt that the Vegan guy? I just watched a video on the Carnivore diet, let me tell everyone why hes wrong. 35 years of research pfft! I saw a youtube video and tried plant based for a week, i know better". This video has LOTS of great info no matter how you eat. Give it a listen
@@RiDankulous one could smoke a few cigarettes every now and then and still be healthy - but why would one? You are right to stay whole food plant based
I read his book, it nearly killed me. His research is often just dubious correlations and while he's a persuasive huckster, eating the daily dozen made me anemic, prediabetic, B12 deficient, and obliterated my testosterone, and wrecked my skeleton and teeth. Also Big Agra uses pesticides, herbicides, GMO seeds, and petroleum fertilizers, all of which are in the plants, can't be washed off. Americans all have neurotoxins like glyphosate in their systems from eating plants. I don't eat them, and it saved my life.
@@pmccord9 Eating beans, berries, leafy greens, and getting exercise daily almost killed you? Sounds like you have some problems that have nothing to do with nutrition. I hope you were able to get the medical attention you needed.
@@solidmotion nope. It was Gregor's program. Anemia, zero B12, low T, visceral fat, poor energy, all dietary. So now, I eat meat only, and all metabolic and inflammation problems disappeared replaced with excellent iron, testosterone, energy, muscle mass, Along with no more asthma, arthritis, and costly prescriptions. Let me refer you away from Gregor's grift to "Anthony Chaffer, plants are trying to kill you." Honestly, I tried How Not to Die. It made me gradually, sicker and sicker. And like you, I believed that only meat was crazy. The proof is in real world results.
He's harming many people by telling them not to eat the food that humans evolved to eat (meat). We became apex predators and grew such a big brain because we ate meat.
Nutritional science is a bit of a misnomer I'd say. Wouldn't call it a science. Certainly not most of it. Lots of deeply anti-scientific stuff going under under the name of nutritional "science". Some more reliable sciences and science-like areas of study: archaeology, paleo-anthropology, comparative biology, evolutionary biology, botany. Then there's anecdotes also known as reality assuming people aren't lying or misremembering. At a certain point anecdotes have to be taken into account when they are credible and abundant. They shouldn't be dismissed endlessly.
@@bradstell2146 The Blue Zones are a fraud. Most of the areas had people faking their birth date so they could get pensions earlier. They did not have birth certificates and the government let them give a birth date with no proof. Claim to be born earlier than one was and get government money in very poor areas of the world.
There are no questions that Dr Michael Greger gives us the best evidence based recommendations. Remember that his organisation - Nutritionfacts - is the only organisation world wide that has the capacity to review every study in the english language within "health by diet and lifestyle" as well as longevity.
Greger is not a physician as he never was able to complete his residency so he has no license or board certification in anything and so has no experience since he never saw one patient and his 650 page books which keep people even more sedentary than they should be are not accredited by anything.

I've been vegan, in various forms, since 1993. However, I've followed the daily dozen, after a particularly brutal sinus infection that moved to the back of my eye, for eight weeks now. So far, the pros have been; the tendonitis in my foot when walking long distances has gone; the chronic dermatitis I've had on the palms of my hands has gone; my nasal passages are clear; my chronic constipation which I've had as long as I remember has COMPLETELY gone, and the large cut I received on my thumb last week while chopping vegetables has completely healed... The only con is that I'm a bit too bloated to run - although am still walking long distances and constantly moving. I will be forever grateful to this man.
I have the highest regards and appreciation for Dr Greger. Following his science-based advice on lifestyle including best choices in a whole food plant based diet greatly improved my health- even to the surprise of my doctors. God bless Dr Greger. Christmas time, I gave his book as gifts. Wow- a chance to a longer and better quality of life with an awareness of simple inexpensive diet & lifestyle choices.
Two of my favorite people. I’m not a “pure” plant based whole food guy (nor can I be a vegan since I “enslave” a Mal for my service dog) but I do eat real whole food diet that does have less meat and animal fats than before. I do believe if we ate 50% animal protein we would be leaps and bounds better as would the planet and worker’s rights. Wishing everyone a wonderful, safe, and happy new year.
I DON'T THINK FLESH EATERS SHOULD ALLOWED TO EAT DISMEMBER ANIMALS. THEY SHOULD HAVE TO EAT COWS, PIGS AND GIRAFFES IN ONE BIG GULP LIKE A SNAKE. SAME THING FOR PLANT EATERS. WANT TO EAT AN APPLE? STOP BEING WASTEFUL. EAT THE WHOLE TREE. BRANCHES,TRUNK AND ROOTS. THAT IS A WHOLE FOOD PLANT BASED DIET! CHOPPING FOOD UP INTO BITE SIZED PIECES CAUSES WASTEFUL AND UNHEALTHY. THE ROOTS OF PLANTS ARE FULL DIRT AND INDIGESTIBLE FIBRE. @@animalsarebeautifulpeople3094
When it comes to life expectancy, the U.S. has an infant mortality rate of 6 per 1,000 births, which is 2.5 times higher than Japan's. The U.K. and Germany are around 4 deaths per 1,000.

@@Dylan-zm3ht we atheists/skeptics are often blinded by our narcissistic (and erroneous) notion that we are more reasonable and more intelligent than the average plebeian.

Three times a day they engage in behavior that goes against Dr. Greger's recommendation and the evidence he presents. And we know what kinds of reactions cognitive dissonance causes.
Hi to Mike Shermer! Thanks for this video. I hope that continuing to ride my bike (finishing PBP this year at age 68) will be my anti aging super power! Cheers from Kitty.
Dr. Greger is amazing & it shows he’s not big pharma funded or big food funded or research funded & he is uniquely unbiased & decent & caring - it’s a shame this podcast has so many adverts, every few minutes, which is monetising in the extreme - spoiled it. Not a reflection on Dr. Greger, of course, but on this channel for excessive adverts.
Great interview, on a great topic. I hope it inspires people to realise that, it's up to you to take care of yourself throughout life. As the Pharmo-insurance-Psuedo-Health-Disease management system is a corporate complex that puts Profit above all else, including Health. In fact prescription medications are the third greatest killers in the US behind CVD & Cancer. It has been known for centuries that Diet & Lifestyle are the greatest factors determining your health. All the Blue zones have very similar factors that allow a large percentage of people to reach 100+ in a functional state. That is, under eat, don't over eat. Avoid processed foods, if it comes in a package and doesn't reasemble a natural product it's probably processed. Avoid Grain oils and all Fried foods-(Avoid means limit to very occaissionally). Avoid Alcohol. Eat a 50%+ vegetable, 20 percent animal product (if you 're okay with animal products)-(Note a recent study has shown Fish to be one of the most toxic animal products, with Eggs second. Organic grass fed, free range eggs, lamb, pork, beef are prefered animal products). Low Salt, beaware of foods that don't agree with you/cause inflamation, Histamine foods, Peanuts, shellfish this can be through allergy tests or elimination-Challenge dieting. Staying fit AND STRONG are essential to a healthy older life as Falls from weak muscles and bones is a leading cause of death in the elderly. Dr Gabrielle Lyons is a strong proponant for resistance training for longevity, (I don't agree with her nutritional bias of carnivore dieting which has repeatedly shown to be a leading cause of a shortened life span and increasing inflamation; though good for building muscle short term. thats my rant for today.
So happy to see two of my favorites: Michael Greger & Skeptic conversing. I don’t know how anyone who actually listens (or reads) Dr. Greger could find him anything but reasonable. The vitriolic responses seem to come from really entrenched tribal people who are not receptive to change.
There are large number of people who live in Asia who primarily eat vegetarian diet, for example India, Nepal, Myyanmar, Thailand etc. Have any studies been done on them to see if their average lifespan is any better? I doubt that.
I find it hard to believe that NO studies show benefits to eating animal products, but at the same time Dr Greger says nothing at all without citing sources. Overall I think he is a good source of information.
175 countries say otherwise. 2022 study title: "Total Meat Intake is Associated with Life Expectancy: A Cross-Sectional Data Analysis of 175 Contemporary Populations."
@saraandersson166 This is what it said, "This study has shown that meat intake is positively associated with life expectancy at national level. The underlying reasons may be that meat not only provides energy but also complete nutrients to human body." What did you think it said? It was not funded by any food, or religious group but from Australia already one of the countries with the highest life expectancy.
Whau a good surprice to hear that fermented yoghurt ( of course without sugar) is ok and especially Nice to hear that whole Rye bread and pumpernickel bread German style is packed with prebiotics and resistente starch - I love whole grain Rye bread the German style and kefir without sugar and lots of berries and organic oats - and inspired from dr Michael Greger I love tempeh on my whole grain Rye bread with some mustard 😀❤❤❤
The life-extension obsessives, like FM-2030, Dr. Roy Walford, David Kekich, Suzanne Somers, Saul Kent, and lately Dr. Steven B. Harris (whose writings have appeared in _Skeptic_ and in _Free Inquiry_ magazines), continue to die at ordinary ages.
Michael does good work, but we also need to make nutrition advice personalized. His diet would absolutely wreck me. I hope it helps those for which it is a fit. But how do we move closer to knowing what advice applies to us and what doesn't?
I can only paraphrase my doctors, but my understanding is genetic deficiencies in metabolic and detoxification pathways - before genetic testing and a very customized diet I was very ill and something like Greger's plan would be worst case scenario for me - but everyone is different @@dominicmutzhas6002
That's just blind faith. Unfortunately the science of our physiology disagrees. I am just one example, but there are many people who cannot thrive on such a diet. The truth is that it's a complex interaction of our unique bodies and the available options. No one book, program, or anything like that will work for everyone. Again Dr. Greger does good work, and I really value his contributions. It's the larger view that people are all the same, or highly similar, that is the mistake, but that weakness is common to all research done on group means. When I did try such diets in the past it was a health disaster (despite multiple attempts, supplementation, and ensuring I consumed complete proteins, etc.), which is unfortunate since ethically I really really wanted to make the change. Now I know the specific genetic reasons it harms me, and these cannot be hand waived by "this diet can be modified for everyone". If you disagree, get a medical degree and debate my doctors (one of whom is a vegetarian herself). Sadly most people with my problem don't have the resources to test and overcome it, and just live life sick, as I did for many years.@@animalsarebeautifulpeople3094
We share more commonality than differences. In the U.S., heart disease is our #1 killer. American cardiologists Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn reversed heart disease without any drugs and surgery. This was only possible by fully eliminating all animal products.
He did say the word “bucket,” in reference to cashews. I remember how disappointed I was when I learned an ounce of nuts was the limit. Pffff. What a tease.
? Are you trying to replicate that "crypto isn't stressful I'm 20 and I feel great" même? Bc if you are you have totally missed the point of the même and why it is funny. Too much saturated fat and cholesterol must be clogging up your brain. 🙄🙄🙄
I hope Shermer will bring back Author Nina Teicholz to discuss “Big Fat Surprise” to rebut the “Doctor’s” claim about high cholesterol. Shermer could also bring back Gary Taubes to discuss Keto. If Shermer would like to discuss health with a doctor I trust, I recommend Dr. Ken D. Berry. Since this “doctor” made wild claims about the pandemic, it would be logical to hear from one of the experts who was banned from posting on social media such as Peter A. McCullough.
I haven't watched this yet, but I hope Shermer pushes his guest hard on the 7th Day Adventist connections and the church's aggressive nutritional preachings.
@@TimMarston-l8rit’s mentioned, but not as much evidence one way or another. They say that because of confounding factors, no conclusive conclusions can be made, but still the “doctor” encourages a vegan diet. TBH, I was pretty “checked-out” at this point because I was just so annoyed by his misinformation about cholesterol.
@@KrwiomoczBogurodzicy I don’t see how that is the case. While I’ve listened to this guy previously and come to the same conclusion, from what I’ve heard of this video, he’s still amazingly unconvincing.
I think a lion will suffer adverse health conditions when the lion eats little meat and many plants. So also for dogs and cats. Many housecats survive on largely plant-based industrially produced cat food. I don't think that's healthy for them though. I think the cats would be better off eating more meat and less plants. What about humans? Our ancestors at some point seem to have been plant eaters like the other primates. However didn't the human species start hunting a couple of million years ago? Is the human lineage the part of the family of primates that started trying out carnivory? A few million years is enough time to overhaul the digestive system. Lions and cats evolved from other species which weren't necessarily full carnivores. At a certain point enough genetic change accumulates through natural selection to the point where the optimal diet changes. Those who couldn't survive and thrive with the hunting lifestyle (and likely scavenging before that) that pre-human ancestors adopted died off. Gradually the cecum atrophied to the small little thing we call "appendix" now. Stomach acid got more acidic. Intestines changed. Etc. This change in diet and change in anatomy that accompanied likely allowed brains to grow. Less energy towards the digestive system, more available for the brain. Animal fat and meat are very nutrient dense and are more easily assimilated into animal tissue. Hard to know what really happened but I'd put up that story against any that Greger may put forth any day of the week. There's lots of other independent lines of evidence which I could bring in but I'll leave it like this for now. Will probably be c'd anyways like so many of my comments in the YT of recent times. Probably just talking to myself but hey I find it intrinsically enjoyable and worthwhile thinking out loud like this or not quite out loud but people know what I mean I bet
@@animalsarebeautifulpeople3094 Did I not mention the example of housecats surviving on largely plant-based industrially produced pet food? I just checked and indeed I did. The point is that even an obligate carnivore like a cat can survive on a plant-based diet. The point is also that it is not optimal. No doubt the lineage of ancestors in the case of cats is carnivorous going back longer than the lineage in the case of the flesh-eating primates. Pre-human ancestors appear to have been meat-eaters going back anywhere from 2 million to 8 million years. That may be enough time for it to have become the optimal diet. The argument I'm making has to do with what is OPTIMAL. It appears to me that a meat only diet MAY be most optimal for the human animal just like it probably is for cats, dogs, hyena's, lions, dolphins etc. Shawn Baker calls humans "facultative" carnivores. I suggest reading the comment again. It seems you're fighting against ghosts. Might as well have copy pasted the initial comment as a response to your comment but felt like writing this little response rewording what is already in the basic comment. Good luck
Probably won't watch this. Nevertheless I'll leave this behind: What diet did humans evolve on? Say the past 2 to 8 millions years of natural selection in the case of humans. What was being selected for? And does that have any relevance to what humans should eat for optimal human health? I'd think so. I'd that the diet which humans adapted to over the course of evolution is the diet which humans are best adapted to. Not that much of a stretch to say that diet would be healthiest as well. Did humans evolve as hunters? And possibly as scavengers before that?
There are no dietary requirements of rotting flesh, mother cow/goat lactation breast milk for her baby turned cheese products, and period eggs of female birds that promote human health.
Tried the whole food-plant based religiously for 4 months, didn't lose a lb and felt horrible. Too many toxins & oxalates in many veggies, grains, seeds.
Japan is smoking the seaweed😂 im just eating whole food to check out w/ no pain. India is a gold standard study on only 6mth COVID containment success.
In premodern times people who lived to their 80's and 90's, like Thomas Hobbes, Voltaire, Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, had to have been usually hardy because of their generally bad living conditions. Now, in our wealthier societies, millions of weaker people can live to those ages artificially, and they are generally in worse shape by comparison. For some reason the life-extension obsessives don't want to talk about that.
In general, people who have had greater affluence through history have lived longer. Why? because money buys better housing, cleaner, fresher, diverse, food, better clothing, the ability to travel to follow the weather, access to medical care. look up the top 20 Greek philosophers from 2500 yrs or so and look how long they lived.....60+....most 70+.
Gregor's book nearly killed me. No kidding."How Not to Die", I was suckered by his videos. I became prediabetic after two years, and that's not all. Anemia, B12 deficiency, arthritis, bone and tooth degeneration, hypothyroid, diverticulitis, IBS, and testosterone sank to double digits. That's my true plant based experience. Sorry.
@@Denidrakes69 absolutely accurate. I was taking about a dozen prescription drugs as well for Gerd, IBS, blood pressure, arrhythmia, asthma, all of which resolved after I started eating low carb, high fat and meat. I no longer need prescription drugs or B12 injections. My testosterone quadrupled. Gregor is a dangerous quack obsessed with the size of bowel movements. In my experience...
@@Denidrakes69 keep an eye on your teeth, your B12, and your testosterone. My sister in law has been vegan for 40 years and her teeth are falling out, she's breaking bones, and she has anxiety disorder, exactly like two other friends who started being vegan in college. I felt good for two years, and then, I got the diverticulitis... We evolved to eat meat. Eating an ancestral diet saved my life.
@@pmccord9 I've been vegan since 1993, when I was 12. I've had zero issues so far..Vegan doesn't mean much, nor tell you much about what a person does eat and in what quantities. The daily dozen has saved me from the perimenopause symptoms that I couldn't stand. I'd be dealing with that regardless of diet - but with five kids, I'd prefer those symptoms to be as minimal as possible. The Daily Dozen has worked extremely well for me.
A whole food plant based diet and a ruminant carnivore diet both are good for ones health. I have tried both for months at a time, but as a middle aged man, it was only after being on the carnivore diet that I personally experienced (2-4 weeks into the diet) waking every morning with an erection like I did back when I was in my teens and twenties. I'm a lap swimmer, and had no problem swimming a mile nonstop on both diets. For health and well being regardless of diet, the important thing is to exclude all processed foods, all seed oils, most sugars. Many of the plants we consider food today did not exist 100 to 200 years ago in the form found today. They have been modified via selective growing techniques and/ or geneticaly modified techniques. As a result fruits are more sugary, and many individual vegetables were developed/designed from one or two types of vegetable ancestors. Lastly, if you love your animals, feed them natural foods too; not processed foods. That means feeding your cats a diet that includes raw meat or if cooked meat, but not boiled.
What money? All proceeds of Dr. Micheal Greger's books, speaking engagements, and lectures are all donated to charity. Dr. Michael Greger does not even choose the charities.

This was a long video but I forced myself to hang in there since I was curious. There is so much that he could have said to help people live a better life. Truth is always in the detail. Too much talking with very little detail. Nothing about breast feeding which gives children a good start in life compared to formula. Instead of recommending statons he would have done better to recommend eating raw onions. Adventists eat soy instead of meat but they eat a lot of sugar. Soy does affect testosterone which affects men who wish to have children. Soy is also genetically enginerd . Studies show that people who use sun screen have more cancer than people that do not. Actually some food have a natural sun screen. I am sure big pharma and the supplement industry loves him with all his recommendations.
So why aren't lions who eat a high protein saturated fat diet "ravaged by heart disease"? Never seen an obese lion in the wild; but the lion would be obese if he ate high carbohydrate wheat all day long. I eat mostly meat; as humans are intended to; with a smattering of plants like tomatoes. In the absence of carbohydrates; fat is a fuel. Nutrition should be based on the hormonal insulin metabolic model. We don't need to eat carbohydrates. We should run on fat; not sugar.
Becoming a diminished version of yourself is not a gift. Aging is basically a disease process: it makes you slower, weaker, more susceptible to illness and injury, and less attractive.
There us no data that contradicts that. Loads of opinion and bogus studies. The people of Hong Kong, live the longest, eat the highest ratieo of meat (pork) to veg of any hunan populance on the planet. India, the highest veg consumers have the highest incidence of hart attacks. The so called blue zones eat high meat ratieo. Sardinians eat prodominatly meat. The blue zone data was presented by Seventh Day Adventists and they presented a faulse report to push their religous agenda. The datsa was cherry picked. Processed food industery to this day support this B.S. as it supports this properganda for profit. Human health decline tracks the rise in plant consumption and diminishing meat consumption. The adgenda pushed in this podcast quite simply supports genicide on a massive scale.
Isn’t Greger the guy who thinks humans shouldn’t eat the most nutritious food available to humans (meat)? He should stop at saying: “stop eating processed food” (which is good advice) and leave it at that.
Consumption of animal flesh is harmful to humans. It's even more harmful to the animals enslaved, exploited, abused and butchered for their flesh. You're not entitled to their bodies, nor to your own facts about flesh consumption’s purpoted healthfulness. Greger cites. Not merely A lot. The most out of anybody else on the topic.
He advocates veganism. I disagree strongly. I tried a diet high in legumes and complex carbs and while I lost a lot of weight, I was miserable and couldn’t stop farting 😅
@@joeljentelson3810 I tried being vegetarian and was hungry all the time. Lasted less than a week. Later I learned that I wasn't giving my body a strong protein signal that indicated I had eaten enough nutrients. My view now is that vegetarianism and veganism are malnutrition diets.
@@AndreAngelantoni I think it's because people who eat vegetarian/vegan diets are not getting enough saturated fats. The "doctor" mentioned 3, but then disparaged them. Have you read "Big Fat Surprise" by Nina Teicholz? She was one of Shermer's first guests.
Dr Greger is a rock star in lifestyle medicine. His books have changed so many lives, including my own.
HE LOOKS LIKE A YOUNG ROBERT PLANT.
And his books have hurt the health of many.
I love how carefully he backs up his claims and how he discussess the quality if evidence in detail. We really need people who are this careful.
Except that he's a vegetarian and thus advocates a nutrient-deficient diet. Populations that eat only plants have stunted children. It's not appropriate for humans to eat only plants.

THANKS!
Much appreciated, thank you for taking the time ♥
I like how the different interviews Dr. Gregor has done on this new book have all brought up different topics.
What he mentions about living longer and how it's the small life style things that people do to get them to about 80% of optimal health is probably the most practical thing I've heard from any Doctor when it comes to aging and living longer. It was a very informative talk though he dose talk extremely fast. I'm going to get that book.
he talks really fast and is really bouncy! I want that kind of energy when I am his age!

I read his book, it nearly killed me. His research is often just dubious correlations and while he's a persuasive huckster, eating the daily dozen made me anemic, prediabetic, B12 deficient, and obliterated my testosterone, and wrecked my skeleton and teeth. Also Big Agra uses pesticides, herbicides, GMO seeds, and petroleum fertilizers, all of which are in the plants, can't be washed off. Americans all have neurotoxins like glyphosate in their systems from eating plants. I don't eat them, and it saved my life.
@@pmccord9 Eating beans, berries, leafy greens, and getting exercise daily almost killed you? Sounds like you have some problems that have nothing to do with nutrition. I hope you were able to get the medical attention you needed.
@@solidmotion nope. It was Gregor's program. Anemia, zero B12, low T, visceral fat, poor energy, all dietary. So now, I eat meat only, and all metabolic and inflammation problems disappeared replaced with excellent iron, testosterone, energy, muscle mass, Along with no more asthma, arthritis, and costly prescriptions. Let me refer you away from Gregor's grift to "Anthony Chaffer, plants are trying to kill you." Honestly, I tried How Not to Die. It made me gradually, sicker and sicker. And like you, I believed that only meat was crazy. The proof is in real world results.
Nutritional science today is like the wild west. Dr. Greger tames it a little for us. Thanks Michael. Keep up the great work.
He's harming many people by telling them not to eat the food that humans evolved to eat (meat). We became apex predators and grew such a big brain because we ate meat.
The most recent science states differently. All the blue zones are predominately plant based, with little meat. And, mainly fish.@@AndreAngelantoni
Nutritional science is a bit of a misnomer I'd say. Wouldn't call it a science. Certainly not most of it. Lots of deeply anti-scientific stuff going under under the name of nutritional "science".
Some more reliable sciences and science-like areas of study: archaeology, paleo-anthropology, comparative biology, evolutionary biology, botany.
Then there's anecdotes also known as reality assuming people aren't lying or misremembering. At a certain point anecdotes have to be taken into account when they are credible and abundant. They shouldn't be dismissed endlessly.
@@bradstell2146 The Blue Zones are a fraud. Most of the areas had people faking their birth date so they could get pensions earlier. They did not have birth certificates and the government let them give a birth date with no proof. Claim to be born earlier than one was and get government money in very poor areas of the world.

There are no questions that Dr Michael Greger gives us the best evidence based recommendations. Remember that his organisation - Nutritionfacts - is the only organisation world wide that has the capacity to review every study in the english language within "health by diet and lifestyle" as well as longevity.
Greger is not a physician as he never was able to complete his residency so he has no license or board certification in anything and so has no experience since he never saw one patient and his 650 page books which keep people even more sedentary than they should be are not accredited by anything. Would you get on a plane or get dental work by someone with no license or experience in anything?
I was hoping you would get Greger on the show. Thanks so much.
I've been vegan, in various forms, since 1993. However, I've followed the daily dozen, after a particularly brutal sinus infection that moved to the back of my eye, for eight weeks now. So far, the pros have been; the tendonitis in my foot when walking long distances has gone; the chronic dermatitis I've had on the palms of my hands has gone; my nasal passages are clear; my chronic constipation which I've had as long as I remember has COMPLETELY gone, and the large cut I received on my thumb last week while chopping vegetables has completely healed...
The only con is that I'm a bit too bloated to run - although am still walking long distances and constantly moving.
I will be forever grateful to this man.
I have the highest regards and appreciation for Dr Greger. Following his science-based advice on lifestyle including best choices in a whole food plant based diet greatly improved my health- even to the surprise of my doctors. God bless Dr Greger. Christmas time, I gave his book as gifts. Wow- a chance to a longer and better quality of life with an awareness of simple inexpensive diet & lifestyle choices.
Excellent interview!!!
Speaking of "loss leaders," my local Kroger store is selling sweet potatoes for 25 cents a pound.
@@RiDankulousI don’t know. A couple pounds of steamed carrots topped with ginger powder and pumpkin pie spice is pretty pulling.
Two of my favorite people. I’m not a “pure” plant based whole food guy (nor can I be a vegan since I “enslave” a Mal for my service dog) but I do eat real whole food diet that does have less meat and animal fats than before. I do believe if we ate 50% animal protein we would be leaps and bounds better as would the planet and worker’s rights.
Wishing everyone a wonderful, safe, and happy new year.
It's better when 90% of people become 90% whole plant-based than 1% become 100% vegan.

When it comes to life expectancy, the U.S. has an infant mortality rate of 6 per 1,000 births, which is 2.5 times higher than Japan's. The U.K. and Germany are around 4 deaths per 1,000.
That's because Japan consumes the opposite diet that Greger promotes.
No, this is infant mortality, and African Americans still have a much higher rate than other racial groups.

Hi to Mike Shermer! Thanks for this video. I hope that continuing to ride my bike (finishing PBP this year at age 68) will be my anti aging super power! Cheers from Kitty.
Dr. Greger is amazing & it shows he’s not big pharma funded or big food funded or research funded & he is uniquely unbiased & decent & caring - it’s a shame this podcast has so many adverts, every few minutes, which is monetising in the extreme - spoiled it. Not a reflection on Dr. Greger, of course, but on this channel for excessive adverts.
Great interview, on a great topic. I hope it inspires people to realise that, it's up to you to take care of yourself throughout life. As the Pharmo-insurance-Psuedo-Health-Disease management system is a corporate complex that puts Profit above all else, including Health. In fact prescription medications are the third greatest killers in the US behind CVD & Cancer. It has been known for centuries that Diet & Lifestyle are the greatest factors determining your health. All the Blue zones have very similar factors that allow a large percentage of people to reach 100+ in a functional state. That is, under eat, don't over eat. Avoid processed foods, if it comes in a package and doesn't reasemble a natural product it's probably processed. Avoid Grain oils and all Fried foods-(Avoid means limit to very occaissionally). Avoid Alcohol. Eat a 50%+ vegetable, 20 percent animal product (if you 're okay with animal products)-(Note a recent study has shown Fish to be one of the most toxic animal products, with Eggs second. Organic grass fed, free range eggs, lamb, pork, beef are prefered animal products). Low Salt, beaware of foods that don't agree with you/cause inflamation, Histamine foods, Peanuts, shellfish this can be through allergy tests or elimination-Challenge dieting. Staying fit AND STRONG are essential to a healthy older life as Falls from weak muscles and bones is a leading cause of death in the elderly. Dr Gabrielle Lyons is a strong proponant for resistance training for longevity, (I don't agree with her nutritional bias of carnivore dieting which has repeatedly shown to be a leading cause of a shortened life span and increasing inflamation; though good for building muscle short term. thats my rant for today.
The biggest problem here is I now have Greger Thumbnails is my TH-cam Feed.
So happy to see two of my favorites: Michael Greger & Skeptic conversing. I don’t know how anyone who actually listens (or reads) Dr. Greger could find him anything but reasonable. The vitriolic responses seem to come from really entrenched tribal people who are not receptive to change.

I think milk and ghee knock them out.
I find it hard to believe that NO studies show benefits to eating animal products, but at the same time Dr Greger says nothing at all without citing sources. Overall I think he is a good source of information.

@saraandersson166 This is what it said, "This study has shown that meat intake is positively associated with life expectancy at national level. The underlying reasons may be that meat not only provides energy but also complete nutrients to human body." What did you think it said? It was not funded by any food, or religious group but from Australia already one of the countries with the highest life expectancy.

Michael does good work, but we also need to make nutrition advice personalized. His diet would absolutely wreck me. I hope it helps those for which it is a fit. But how do we move closer to knowing what advice applies to us and what doesn't?
Why would it wreck you?
I can only paraphrase my doctors, but my understanding is genetic deficiencies in metabolic and detoxification pathways - before genetic testing and a very customized diet I was very ill and something like Greger's plan would be worst case scenario for me - but everyone is different @@dominicmutzhas6002
Though we are all different in some ways, none of us are obligate carnivores. This diet can be modified for everyone. 😊
That's just blind faith. Unfortunately the science of our physiology disagrees. I am just one example, but there are many people who cannot thrive on such a diet. The truth is that it's a complex interaction of our unique bodies and the available options. No one book, program, or anything like that will work for everyone. Again Dr. Greger does good work, and I really value his contributions. It's the larger view that people are all the same, or highly similar, that is the mistake, but that weakness is common to all research done on group means. When I did try such diets in the past it was a health disaster (despite multiple attempts, supplementation, and ensuring I consumed complete proteins, etc.), which is unfortunate since ethically I really really wanted to make the change. Now I know the specific genetic reasons it harms me, and these cannot be hand waived by "this diet can be modified for everyone". If you disagree, get a medical degree and debate my doctors (one of whom is a vegetarian herself). Sadly most people with my problem don't have the resources to test and overcome it, and just live life sick, as I did for many years.@@animalsarebeautifulpeople3094

? Are you trying to replicate that "crypto isn't stressful I'm 20 and I feel great" même? Bc if you are you have totally missed the point of the même and why it is funny. Too much saturated fat and cholesterol must be clogging up your brain. 🙄🙄🙄
I hope Shermer will bring back Author Nina Teicholz to discuss “Big Fat Surprise” to rebut the “Doctor’s” claim about high cholesterol. Shermer could also bring back Gary Taubes to discuss Keto. If Shermer would like to discuss health with a doctor I trust, I recommend Dr. Ken D. Berry.
Since this “doctor” made wild claims about the pandemic, it would be logical to hear from one of the experts who was banned from posting on social media such as Peter A. McCullough.
I haven't watched this yet, but I hope Shermer pushes his guest hard on the 7th Day Adventist connections and the church's aggressive nutritional preachings.
@@TimMarston-l8rit’s mentioned, but not as much evidence one way or another. They say that because of confounding factors, no conclusive conclusions can be made, but still the “doctor” encourages a vegan diet. TBH, I was pretty “checked-out” at this point because I was just so annoyed by his misinformation about cholesterol.
Teicholz, Berry, Taubes, et al have bugger all credible scientific backup. Which makes Shermer questionable as a "Skeptic"

Holy shit what a crossover!!
I think a lion will suffer adverse health conditions when the lion eats little meat and many plants. So also for dogs and cats. Many housecats survive on largely plant-based industrially produced cat food. I don't think that's healthy for them though. I think the cats would be better off eating more meat and less plants.
What about humans? Our ancestors at some point seem to have been plant eaters like the other primates. However didn't the human species start hunting a couple of million years ago? Is the human lineage the part of the family of primates that started trying out carnivory? A few million years is enough time to overhaul the digestive system. Lions and cats evolved from other species which weren't necessarily full carnivores. At a certain point enough genetic change accumulates through natural selection to the point where the optimal diet changes. Those who couldn't survive and thrive with the hunting lifestyle (and likely scavenging before that) that pre-human ancestors adopted died off. Gradually the cecum atrophied to the small little thing we call "appendix" now. Stomach acid got more acidic. Intestines changed. Etc. This change in diet and change in anatomy that accompanied likely allowed brains to grow. Less energy towards the digestive system, more available for the brain. Animal fat and meat are very nutrient dense and are more easily assimilated into animal tissue.
Hard to know what really happened but I'd put up that story against any that Greger may put forth any day of the week.
There's lots of other independent lines of evidence which I could bring in but I'll leave it like this for now. Will probably be c'd anyways like so many of my comments in the YT of recent times. Probably just talking to myself but hey I find it intrinsically enjoyable and worthwhile thinking out loud like this or not quite out loud but people know what I mean I bet
Lions and cats are OBLIGATE CARNIVORES. Humans and dogs are not. Get a GRIP.
@@animalsarebeautifulpeople3094 Did I not mention the example of housecats surviving on largely plant-based industrially produced pet food? I just checked and indeed I did.
The point is that even an obligate carnivore like a cat can survive on a plant-based diet. The point is also that it is not optimal.
No doubt the lineage of ancestors in the case of cats is carnivorous going back longer than the lineage in the case of the flesh-eating primates. Pre-human ancestors appear to have been meat-eaters going back anywhere from 2 million to 8 million years. That may be enough time for it to have become the optimal diet.
The argument I'm making has to do with what is OPTIMAL. It appears to me that a meat only diet MAY be most optimal for the human animal just like it probably is for cats, dogs, hyena's, lions, dolphins etc.
Shawn Baker calls humans "facultative" carnivores.
I suggest reading the comment again. It seems you're fighting against ghosts. Might as well have copy pasted the initial comment as a response to your comment but felt like writing this little response rewording what is already in the basic comment.
Good luck
I'd rather age rapidly than not age, if Greger is the exemplar.
Probably won't watch this. Nevertheless I'll leave this behind:
What diet did humans evolve on? Say the past 2 to 8 millions years of natural selection in the case of humans. What was being selected for? And does that have any relevance to what humans should eat for optimal human health? I'd think so. I'd that the diet which humans adapted to over the course of evolution is the diet which humans are best adapted to. Not that much of a stretch to say that diet would be healthiest as well.
Did humans evolve as hunters? And possibly as scavengers before that?
There are no dietary requirements of rotting flesh, mother cow/goat lactation breast milk for her baby turned cheese products, and period eggs of female birds that promote human health.
Tried the whole food-plant based religiously for 4 months, didn't lose a lb and felt horrible. Too many toxins & oxalates in many veggies, grains, seeds.
Japan is smoking the seaweed😂 im just eating whole food to check out w/ no pain. India is a gold standard study on only 6mth COVID containment success.
Dr McGregor this guy just want to Ask what you eat you didn't tell him you Vegan/plantbased. He is my age but maybe he must change his diet
In premodern times people who lived to their 80's and 90's, like Thomas Hobbes, Voltaire, Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, had to have been usually hardy because of their generally bad living conditions. Now, in our wealthier societies, millions of weaker people can live to those ages artificially, and they are generally in worse shape by comparison. For some reason the life-extension obsessives don't want to talk about that.
In general, people who have had greater affluence through history have lived longer. Why? because money buys better housing, cleaner, fresher, diverse, food, better clothing, the ability to travel to follow the weather, access to medical care. look up the top 20 Greek philosophers from 2500 yrs or so and look how long they lived.....60+....most 70+.

@@Denidrakes69 absolutely accurate.

A whole food plant based diet and a ruminant carnivore diet both are good for ones health. I have tried both for months at a time, but as a middle aged man, it was only after being on the carnivore diet that I personally experienced (2-4 weeks into the diet) waking every morning with an erection like I did back when I was in my teens and twenties.
I'm a lap swimmer, and had no problem swimming a mile nonstop on both diets.
For health and well being regardless of diet, the important thing is to exclude all processed foods, all seed oils, most sugars.
Many of the plants we consider food today did not exist 100 to 200 years ago in the form found today. They have been modified via selective growing techniques and/ or geneticaly modified techniques. As a result fruits are more sugary, and many individual vegetables were developed/designed from one or two types of vegetable ancestors.
Lastly, if you love your animals, feed them natural foods too; not processed foods. That means feeding your cats a diet that includes raw meat or if cooked meat, but not boiled.

Isn’t Greger the guy who thinks humans shouldn’t eat the most nutritious food available to humans (meat)? He should stop at saying: “stop eating processed food” (which is good advice) and leave it at that.
Consumption of animal flesh is harmful to humans. It's even more harmful to the animals enslaved, exploited, abused and butchered for their flesh. You're not entitled to their bodies, nor to your own facts about flesh consumption’s purpoted healthfulness. Greger cites. Not merely A lot. The most out of anybody else on the topic.
He advocates veganism. I disagree strongly. I tried a diet high in legumes and complex carbs and while I lost a lot of weight, I was miserable and couldn’t stop farting 😅
@@joeljentelson3810 I tried being vegetarian and was hungry all the time. Lasted less than a week. Later I learned that I wasn't giving my body a strong protein signal that indicated I had eaten enough nutrients. My view now is that vegetarianism and veganism are malnutrition diets.
@@AndreAngelantoni I think it's because people who eat vegetarian/vegan diets are not getting enough saturated fats. The "doctor" mentioned 3, but then disparaged them. Have you read "Big Fat Surprise" by Nina Teicholz? She was one of Shermer's first guests.
@@AndreAngelantoni😂 unfortunately, the science doesn’t agree with you.
all good and well, but i just have trouble listening to a guy talking about health who looks like he does barely into his 50ies
Ad hominem has no place is credible evidence based science.
