Dr Greger, my husband is 59-years-old. In April of this year he underwent open heart surgery for blocked arteries. He has also been diagnosed pre-diabetic, has diverticulosis, has lupus, has rheumatoid arthritis and hypertension. All of his doctors said diet has little or nothing to do with his diseases and that all his diseases are incurable. After studying you, Dr McDougall, Dr Barnard and Dr Esselstyn, we eliminated red meat and dairy 4 months ago. Two weeks ago we became strict vegans. My husband's angina and shortness of breath are completely gone. He threw away his methotrexate and prednisone. He goes to the gym four hours a week and has lost ten pounds so far. I doubt he will need his lisinopril a year from now. I'm positive he won't need stents down the road. Veganism is nothing short of a miracle.
Dr. Michael Greger has the BEST nutrition presentations I have ever seen! He should win a Nobel prize for public health awareness.... but the Swedes consume way too many animal products for that to ever happen. Thank you Dr. Greger! Your work will become legendary! In a world where people read less and less, and where videos can better educate than books, you are a nutritional Rock Star!
Please don´t be so ignorant, Sweden has nearly twice as many vegetarians per capita than USA and also generally consumes less animal products. There is no Nobel prize for public health awareness, only for medicine, which is given to people who have contributed to important medical discoveries. While this presentation is great, Greger is just quoting different scientific research that supports his theories and haven't done all the hard work himself.
Jordan Hancock Seriously why are you getting so angry over a youtube comment, all he did was say he enjoys the doctors lectures. Go get angry at something that matters.
Jordan Hancock but I never said you were in the Scoliosis Research Society, it would be fine if you were though, thats a great thing to do with your time.
Another awesome video. Been eating a whole foods, plant-based vegan diet for almost a year and a half now and I've never felt better. Not only for the physical benefits but knowing that I'm reducing my carbon foot print and giving animals a fighting chance. Going vegan is the best thing to do for yourself, for others, and for the planet.
Cristina Basile AGREED! It's a WIN-WIN-WIN situation...our health wins, the animals win and our planet wins! I'm 57 about to turn 58 and feel awesome every single day...went 100% plant based 5 years ago. LOVE this way of living and eating!
Cristina Basile Yes Cristina, in support of your mind set about being a vegan and the power of nutrition to help our bodies heal, most people don't know that seeds have up to 30% more nutrition in the seed than in the plant or fruit. So I invite you to take a few minutes to research this one seed formula that was about 20 years of research to formulate. Dr Leonard's main reason for creating this formula was to help children coming from chemo and radiation. Google ( seed nutrition recover health now ) I have taking this formula because 18 months ago I had extreme chronic left shoulder pain, which I no longer have. Thank you so much Dr Greger for your dedication and your passion for empowering people for better health naturally.
***** Just say no. I don't eat junk food and don't even think about eating it anymore. Just be sure you eat enough calories throughout the day. Don't deny yourself starches as desired - just try to keep it low fat, whole food, and plant based (e.g. all the brown rice you want).
***** drown yourself in oatmeal! Organic overnight oats (no instant, no 2 minutes oats) + water in a blender. Add organic whole raw sugar or maple sirup. 300-500 g raw oats per day (equals about 2 liter / 0.5 US gal of oat drink). Will cure all your cravings :)
EveryThingTech Yay! Congrats! Making the change, it really helps to have a supportive family. Get your family to see this info too. I didn't expect it but all but one of my close family went plant-based with me! And we're still incredibly happy about the change a year later. (Although I still have to remind them to eat their greens from time to time.)
I was eating a typical bodybuilder diet. lots of eggs, meats, protein powders. I thought it was healthy! That's what the bioscience out there says to do. Unfortunately I fell for it. Everyday was a struggle. yeah I was big and strong but I felt like crap! Extremely moody and tired all the time. I had to drink caffeine constantly. Also my joints hurt and it was difficult to simply go up stairs. Weighting in at 275lbs I finally came to my senses. Did a complete 180 with my diet. Fruits, Veg, beans, rice,lentils, bread is the answer. The food is delicious and I've been losing fat effortlessly. The best part though is the clarity and energy that I now have. I went it without much knowledge. I didn't even know "plant based" was a thing. These videos are a great asset to learning more about this new lifestyle. Thanks Doc!
+John Jury WAY to go! This lifestyle agrees with me too! At 58, I feel great every single day! I donate blood 4 or 5 times each year too & have never been turned away!
+TenHanded, it means you eat as many WHOLE vegetables and fruits, legumes, whole grains nuts and seeds in their natural form as possible...little or NO highly processed junk foods....no meats/chicken/fish/dairy.
valnaples - Thankyou. Sorry for sounding stupid, but does "whole" just mean like a carrot or apple as they are? And how many would I need to eat per day?
Serena Watson-Follett I send this talk to all my friends and family!! all we can do is share the info, but it's up to others to receive it and learn something from it!!
Michael Janavel The poison is in the dose. Eat too much kale is bad for you too. Lots of studies that show some animal sources in the diet are healthy.
Michael Janavel Same here. His video 'Uprooting the leading causes of death' convinced me to go vegan 13 months ago. Before i went vegan i was 20kg over weight and had prediabetes. Eating a high carb low fat whole foods diet fixed all of that :)
I was just thinking about a t-shirt with Dr. Greger on it. Most people would be thinking "why does he have a picture of a middle-aged bald guy on his t-shirt?" while the vegans would be thinkings "Hell yeah, rock star!".
I don't mind dying; I just don't want it to be my fault. Again this year, you have out done yourself. I love these yearly speeches and all the tidbits every day all year long. Thanks for encouraging me to stay in the game.
If there is one person that can cut through this ridiculous world of nutritional advertising, lies, pseudoscience, ego, close-mindedness, and ignorance it is Dr. Greger. Thanks Dr. Greger for all that you give.
Instead of arguing against the opinion of dr Gregor you are doing attack on Gregors personality, that's wrong. Give some evidence in support of your views instead of using dirty language
I've been an environmentally conscious vegetarian for 8+ years...Dr. Greger took it to a whole other level.I'm vegan now...many thanks. Forks over Knives too. spread the word.
I think you made an innocent and unnecessary mistake. I spelled his name correctly..."Dr. Greger took it to a whole other level.I'm vegan now..". You know...even if I did spell his name wrong, your approach wasn't so gentle...do you teach the 2nd grade or something?

Your videos keep motivating me to stay vegan and make healthy choices. I can't even explain how much impact they have on me and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Thank you for the great work you do!
Most certainly STAYING vegan / plant-based forever. Dr. Greger is my hero NutritionFacts.org :) THANK YOU SO MUCH !!! YOU SAVE ALL KINDS OF LIFE ON THIS EARTH :) So going to buy the book!
+hammypie Yep. :) nutritionfacts.org/book/ I think it's going to be a huge one. All the science for a vegan diet in your backpack! :D Thanks to our great broccoli doctor. :)
I was scouring the internet for random things tonight. It started of with area 51 then the Hubble telescope then JWST. I googled aliens and contemplated our location on a big floating space rock in the middle of nowhere. Browsing the Fermi paradox left me depressed and lonely.I later somehow found this channel. I used to think vegetarians and vegans are idiots and food is food. Eat anything in moderation. Oh how wrong I was. I've been ill-informed but no anymore. I'm going vegan(I may still eat fish once or twice a week but I'm staying away from anything that comes from cows(including milk),pigs,chickens etc. I'm not doing this to be accepted into some group or adopt a feeling of superiority,thus looking down on other people that do eat meat. I'm doing this for my own well being.
Perfect! Wish you the next step to find how you was wrong with prejustice that most of vegans do it due "to be accepted into some group or adopt a feeling of superiority,thus looking down on other people that do eat meat"
Thank you, Dr Greger for your passion and diligence to get this vital message across! I have shared this and am happy to see over 67,000 have viewed this since Aug 3. This is awesome! I will take it to heart and hope all others will, too!
well I guess this explains my kidney stones.... I used to eat loads of meat and dairy daily.Thank you for taking the time to put together this information its really helped form a solid opinion on my diet choices.
I can not tell enough how much I LOVE Dr. Greger! I've had a terrible day and his last speech has been the only thing giving me hope and putting a smile upon my face. Thank you SOOO much dear Dr. Greger and his crew and all the vegans out there who are trying to spread this important message! ❤❤❤❤❤ Love you all!!!
Watching for several years, pissed me off at first, he dosen't like beer. Now he beat me into submission with his big hammer of facts. Doc, glad to have you.
Well presented. I'm not 100% there with veganism, but finding that the closer I get, the better I feel and look, the better my stats are, and I actually enjoy the food more.
Doctors like this, that are willing to go againts the majority to tell the truth and save lives are such a blessing! Even the fact that his earnings go to charity show his intentions are to help and not to become rich, he is so selfless and an incredible human being! thank you for sharing this information for free, God bless you.
I am a doctor myself, and the majority of doctors agrees on that fruits and veggies are healthy and that meat (especially processed, red meat) is bad for you. There might be some disagreement on just how bad meat is or how strict you should be, but there is a consensus that people are eating too much meat and that they should reduce their intake. So Greg is not going against the majority, basically all doctors are trying to make patients eat more fruits and veggies.
Dr. Greger is amazing always based on hard science and always shows the research documents he's referencing so you can look them up and read the whole paper.
I have fatty liver and trying to reverse it, of course exercise and losing weight can help reverse it but I've been told a low carb type diet can help as high carb foods like bread, crisps and other garbage will when ingesting be converted to fat in the liver, I tried keto but after a few days felt terrible, bloated, had indigestion, headaches after a few days stopped and had a cereal/fruit meal and had a massive rebound of energy which was great I went for a walk even though it was 11pm at night. A natural Dr advised me to ingest amino acids in foods, for example eggs which have choline which is very important for liver health, amino acids are needed for phase I and II liver detox system to work properly. You need to eat fats in order for the gallbladder to empty bile/cholesterol sludge right? But the McDougall diet for example says not to eat any fat or oils. I thought about trying a vegan keto type diet, but then I'd have to buy into the Keto idea that keto starves cancer by limiting glucose availability for cancer to grow, but cancer first of all can make glucose on its own to survive but now to grow I believe and it uses not only glucose, but glutamine, vit C etc I believe. Plants and fruits even though have glucose they have important phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals and so whatever diet we do the plants form a basis for many of these healthy diets, keto people also eat many healthy veggies and some low carb fruits such as berries, vegans/vegetarians eat plants of course and even people on the SAD diet eat veggies and fruits and the more they eat the healthier they are and so are advised to get their quota of 5 to 9 a day! I tell you I have tried a few weird diets and fasting as well, I have been taking 2 meds for 20yrs, since my fatty liver diagnosis I realised I will have to amongst other things (exercise, low BAD carb healthy diet, plus liver friendly diet,meditation etc) stop taking these meds (Prilosec and Paxil) Now I have reduced Paxil from 20mg to 5mg and this believe me has been tough, but I'm still on 20mg Prilosec this I believe is because I'm still too heavy ... a few months ago I was 115kg (BMI - 35.1) now am 102kg (BMI-31.5) my aim is to get to my ideal weight which is 73kg (BMI-24) and so this is why I tried the keto, I did lose weight cause I felt sick:/ And so I was told to eat eggs cause they are healthy for the liver and eating protein in every meal, I assume in order to keep me full and avoiding higher carb foods which are supposed to convert to fat in the liver as this is what I need to avoid, I don't want more fat in my liver. Can any guys give me advice on my condition? I tried keto and it didn't work for me cause the higher intake of chicken, butter etc did not agree with my stomach cause I'm taking Prilosec which reduces stomach acid and one needs acid in the stomach in order to digest them, digesting carbs is much easier (for me at least) and partially done with saliva in the mouth even, I believe. The keto made me feel like not eating anything not even snacks, this also made me avoid breakfast and lunch cause I wasn't hungry, great right? Short feeding window (intermittent fasting success) but that meant that I stayed without taking meds for longer or this is the mistake I made, I didn't take the meds until I ate my breakfast which was around 4pm so this is probably my mistake but anyway I felt horrible and it got boring real quick. Also for people who have depression/anxiety problems do well on carbs, seeing as you need serotonin rich foods and then high carb meal in order to absorb other amino acids that would otherwise compete with tryptohan nd not allow its absoption in the brain. Help please, not sure what to do.
***** Thankyou very much Arya, I suppose the reason I haven't contacted him is cause I don't have much money to pay as I am sure these guys charge for consultations, but maybe I should email him, I could be a great testimnial for him, lol. Thanks I know of the site and have two of his books, I am driking veggie/friuts juicing and potatoe in the evening, I wanted to do juice fast for as long as possible and then doing a spud fast (potato/sweet potatoes).
***** Thanks Clarissa, I try to eat mainly organic but manage to eat maybe 50 to 80% organic, I drink evian water but started dinking bottled mineral water (in glass bottles) but yeah maybe I should get a reverse osmosis machine or maybe a water distiller machine? I just wanted to say that in fish you get mercury and your theory of toxins and fat people sounds interesting. If we tested most foods even organ you would find heavy metals and toxins inside them, brocolli has carcinogens, plants must have mercury, and bone broth that many are touting has lead - even organic bones, so it isnt easy to avoid these toxic substances, Im not saying that these substances are there in large amount but if you look for them you'll probably find them, imagine ... inside the carrot juices that we drink are toxins, wow. Greeting from London, UK. :)
***** Thanks Clarissa, Good points,I agree with you of course. I was just saying it is very interesting that in most food there are some toxins, I found that for example bone broth soup which many drs and gurus say is great for healing the gut has heavy metals like LEAD in it and that is if you use organic bones as well. Oh here in London its raining :(
Dr. Gregor, you are so awesome! Thanks for yet another highly interesting and entertaining speech! I´d love it if you could talk about hashimoto thyreoiditis and if it can be healed by a plant-based diet
I love all of your content watch every video and when you went into detail about cigarette industry tactics as they relate to the modern animal infustry you think i would have been prepared but it still hit me like a slug to the chest. Very powerful stuff thank you for all that you do.
Or perhaps people who actually understand science and the profound difference between correlation and causation. This was one of the most biased and agenda driven presentations of nutritional information I have ever watched. Red meat for the vegan faithful.
Richard Hanson You’re metaphor makes no sense. Why would vegans want or consume red meat? Or are you saying this presentation is anathema to vegans like red meat? Or that we can’t accept that this is a biased agenda-driven presentation? Do you know what you’re saying? Look, rather than defending your bacon sandwich or whatever, the best way to see if eating plant based is good for you is to try it! Give it a go and see how you get on. 🌱
Thank you so much Dr Greger. Another great talk that I can pass on to others. Like all your information this one is much needed and I will be watching this one several times.
I just have to express my utter love. I have opened the eyes of quite a few friends without being a vile guilt tripping angry vegetarian/vegan about it. No, your video scares the shit out of them enough that I don't need to. Quite literally lol.
I can't believe I watched the entire duration of the video. Needless to say, great video. Also, I adore the way you simplify and deliver such complex information.
cause two risks don't make a right I love Dr. Greger's comfort inside the roman coliseum of red meat carnage and how to defeat the beast of tradition and habits that kill faster every day. I'm 100 % in on this mission of saving lives and the planet through plant based nutrition and Dr. Greger is my got to source that I quote here in sea of cortez and usa when sparring out in the field of bad foods vs green foods. I find myself in baja mexico today where I'm helping the best fruit vegetable street stand owner who has had open heart surgery and cant feel his feet. Culturally there is a very wide gap here in finding food as medicine and standard foods as suicidal the way its eaten here. I put him on kale and cucumber juices and super berry spinach, hemp and flax smoothies today. In mexico people are amazed with this research and evidence Dr. Greger presents. thx amigo keep the spark of fearless truth coming strong we appreciate it all.
it is such an AMAZING feeling knowing for sure that I will never have any type of heart disease, obesity, diabetes.. so fucking wonderful to be able to control my own health.
Awesome stuff! I really appreciate your work. You have influenced my life and health for the better. I can't wait for your book to come out. A big thank you from The Netherlands!
Just one. little. note. about the presentation. When you talk about Rheumatiod Arthritis, there's a slide that shows the countries (graph) ... We're not Czechoslovakia. We have been The Czech Republic for more than 20 years. People seem to ignore this all the time :D Love the whole talk tough :)
Exceptional work - science - humour - and humanity 9.56 "Why bother quitting smoking if my cheese and ham sandwich is just as bad for me" Haven't laughed myself silly in ages
Awesome! I have been waiting to hear someone like him! I knew being a Adventist was right! Ellen G White was a prophet and had visions from God in the 1800's. He told her that meat would be unsafe in the last days. That is why she promoted meatless diets in days when no one spoke of being a vegetarian. So, Dr. Gregor was not the first person to promote a healthy, meatless diet.

How is he doing now?
No one gives more factual, evidence-based, useful health information than Dr. Greger. And, he entertains you at the same time. THE BOSS.
This man is doing a HUGE service to humanity!
A True Doctor, not a pill pusher for pharma.
HUUUUUUUUGE
Dr. Michael is a secular saint
Dr. Michael Greger has the BEST nutrition presentations I have ever seen!
He should win a Nobel prize for public health awareness.... but the Swedes consume way too many animal products for that to ever happen.
Thank you Dr. Greger!

+Cristina Basile I have yet to see an unbiased vegan. All vegans eat raw vegetables and fruit based out of the concern for animals.
This video is amazing I'm changing my diet after I'm done watching this thanks
EveryThingTech Congratulations! YAY!
kudos!
EveryThingTech
Yay! Congrats!
Making the change, it really helps to have a supportive family.
Get your family to see this info too. I didn't expect it but all but one of my close family went plant-based with me! And we're still incredibly happy about the change a year later.
(Although I still have to remind them to eat their greens from time to time.)

Go to "Forks over Knives" for meal plans.
Thanks for doing what you do. Every American and especially every doctor should have to watch this.
He's coming to Canada in 2016. Check his speaking tour dates to see if it is a city near you.
What an incredible man. His videos are SO underrated. I wish I could get all the non-vegans I know to watch this.
Lol I almost tried liking this comment twice.
Serena Watson-Follett also silly vegans that think that eating vegan (correctly) isn't healthier than eating non vegan ("correctly")
Serena Watson-Follett I send this talk to all my friends and family!! all we can do is share the info, but it's up to others to receive it and learn something from it!!
Dr Greger is the one who got me to stop eating meat, dairy and eggs. He scares the living f*** out of you with these studies.
Michael Janavel He sure does and now that I know he lives so close I might just try to get a lunch date going with him to pick his brains.
Michael Janavel The poison is in the dose. Eat too much kale is bad for you too. Lots of studies that show some animal sources in the diet are healthy.
Good for you. :)

Peter John I would totally buy this shirt!!
Peter John with the *'HOW NOT TO DIE'* logo !
Peter John I'll take two!
That's very bright idea indeed :-)
My mom quit smoking and went vegan at the same time 2 years ago. She lost weight and gained so much energy. She's healthier she's ever been.
I'm so happy for your mom!!

“I don’t mind dying, I just don’t want it to be my fault”, couldn’t have possibly said it any better❤️
These presentations get me so pumped about the plant-based lifestyle! Thank you, Dr. Greger. You're a shining light in field of nutrition sciences.
May God prolong your life and give you more strength to follow your mission.
What god?
I don't mind dying; I just don't want it to be my fault.

Perfect! Wish you the next step to find how you was wrong with prejustice that most of vegans do it due "to be accepted into some group or adopt a feeling of superiority,thus looking down on other people that do eat meat"
I'm with +Marek Volf

Thank you, Dr Greger for your passion and diligence to get this vital message across! I have shared this and am happy to see over 67,000 have viewed this since Aug 3. This is awesome! I will take it to heart and hope all others will, too!
+Anna Fisher ooops! OVER 74,000 views now! hee!
well I guess this explains my kidney stones.... I used to eat loads of meat and dairy daily.Thank you for taking the time to put together this information its really helped form a solid opinion on my diet choices.
I can not tell enough how much I LOVE Dr. Greger! I've had a terrible day and his last speech has been the only thing giving me hope and putting a smile upon my face. Thank you SOOO much dear Dr. Greger and his crew and all the vegans out there who are trying to spread this important message! ❤❤❤❤❤ Love you all!!!
Just watched a presentation from Colin Campbell + this afterwards and that made me realize how good of a presenter Michael Greger actually is.
You are the greatest, Dr Greger! Thank you for all the hard work.
Watching for several years, pissed me off at first, he dosen't like beer. Now he beat me into submission with his big hammer of facts. Doc, glad to have you.
You are a true inspiration to me Dr Gregor! I will share this with all my friends. I'm guessing none will watch it.
Well presented. I'm not 100% there with veganism, but finding that the closer I get, the better I feel and look, the better my stats are, and I actually enjoy the food more.
Give it a try for 2 weeks, or even 30 days - and you'll be convinced for life 😉
Thank you Dr. Greger and associates.
I love this man. Hugs from Argentina :)
Awesome as always, Doc. Thanks for posting; will be forwarding this to whoever will watch : )
Doctors like this, that are willing to go againts the majority to tell the truth and save lives are such a blessing! Even the fact that his earnings go to charity show his intentions are to help and not to become rich, he is so selfless and an incredible human being! thank you for sharing this information for free, God bless you.
I am a doctor myself, and the majority of doctors agrees on that fruits and veggies are healthy and that meat (especially processed, red meat) is bad for you. There might be some disagreement on just how bad meat is or how strict you should be, but there is a consensus that people are eating too much meat and that they should reduce their intake. So Greg is not going against the majority, basically all doctors are trying to make patients eat more fruits and veggies.
You are changing the world, Doc G. *slowclap*
I love Dr. Greger! Very exciting lecture.
This man is genius.follow him for years and will to years to come. Thank you for everything dr! You are really doing a public service for all of us
You are truly the best of the best doctor G!
Always look forward to these talks and learn so much from them. Thanks Dr. Greger!
Dr. Greger is amazing always based on hard science and always shows the research documents he's referencing so you can look them up and read the whole paper.
This guy is one of my hero's! :)
This guy is a genius of nutrition. Fantastic information and dynamic presentation. Thank you for uploading.
Thank you so much for posting this video.
I have fatty liver and trying to reverse it, of course exercise and losing weight can help reverse it but I've been told a low carb type diet can help as high carb foods like bread, crisps and other garbage will when ingesting be converted to fat in the liver, I tried keto but after a few days felt terrible, bloated, had indigestion, headaches after a few days stopped and had a cereal/fruit meal and had a massive rebound of energy which was great I went for a walk even though it was 11pm at night.
A natural Dr advised me to ingest amino acids in foods, for example eggs which have choline which is very important for liver health, amino acids are needed for phase I and II liver detox system to work properly.
You need to eat fats in order for the gallbladder to empty bile/cholesterol sludge right?
But the McDougall diet for example says not to eat any fat or oils.
I thought about trying a vegan keto type diet, but then I'd have to buy into the Keto idea that keto starves cancer by limiting glucose availability for cancer to grow, but cancer first of all can make glucose on its own to survive but now to grow I believe and it uses not only glucose, but glutamine, vit C etc I believe.
Plants and fruits even though have glucose they have important phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals and so whatever diet we do the plants form a basis for many of these healthy diets, keto people also eat many healthy veggies and some low carb fruits such as berries, vegans/vegetarians eat plants of course and even people on the SAD diet eat veggies and fruits and the more they eat the healthier they are and so are advised to get their quota of 5 to 9 a day!
I tell you I have tried a few weird diets and fasting as well, I have been taking 2 meds for 20yrs, since my fatty liver diagnosis I realised I will have to amongst other things (exercise, low BAD carb healthy diet, plus liver friendly diet,meditation etc) stop taking these meds (Prilosec and Paxil) Now I have reduced Paxil from 20mg to 5mg and this believe me has been tough, but I'm still on 20mg Prilosec this I believe is because I'm still too heavy ... a few months ago I was 115kg (BMI - 35.1) now am 102kg (BMI-31.5) my aim is to get to my ideal weight which is 73kg (BMI-24) and so this is why I tried the keto, I did lose weight cause I felt sick:/
And so I was told to eat eggs cause they are healthy for the liver and eating protein in every meal, I assume in order to keep me full and avoiding higher carb foods which are supposed to convert to fat in the liver as this is what I need to avoid, I don't want more fat in my liver.
Can any guys give me advice on my condition?
I tried keto and it didn't work for me cause the higher intake of chicken, butter etc did not agree with my stomach cause I'm taking Prilosec which reduces stomach acid and one needs acid in the stomach in order to digest them, digesting carbs is much easier (for me at least) and partially done with saliva in the mouth even, I believe.
The keto made me feel like not eating anything not even snacks, this also made me avoid breakfast and lunch cause I wasn't hungry, great right? Short feeding window (intermittent fasting success) but that meant that I stayed without taking meds for longer or this is the mistake I made, I didn't take the meds until I ate my breakfast which was around 4pm so this is probably my mistake but anyway I felt horrible and it got boring real quick.
Also for people who have depression/anxiety problems do well on carbs, seeing as you need serotonin rich foods and then high carb meal in order to absorb other amino acids that would otherwise compete with tryptohan nd not allow its absoption in the brain.
Help please, not sure what to do.

Thankyou very much Arya, I suppose the reason I haven't contacted him is cause I don't have much money to pay as I am sure these guys charge for consultations, but maybe I should email him, I could be a great testimnial for him, lol.
Thanks I know of the site and have two of his books, I am driking veggie/friuts juicing and potatoe in the evening, I wanted to do juice fast for as long as possible and then doing a spud fast (potato/sweet potatoes).
*****
Thanks Clarissa, I try to eat mainly organic but manage to eat maybe 50 to 80% organic, I drink evian water but started dinking bottled mineral water (in glass bottles) but yeah maybe I should get a reverse osmosis machine or maybe a water distiller machine?
I just wanted to say that in fish you get mercury and your theory of toxins and fat people sounds interesting.
If we tested most foods even organ you would find heavy metals and toxins inside them, brocolli has carcinogens, plants must have mercury, and bone broth that many are touting has lead - even organic bones, so it isnt easy to avoid these toxic substances, Im not saying that these substances are there in large amount but if you look for them you'll probably find them, imagine ... inside the carrot juices that we drink are toxins, wow. Greeting from London, UK. :)

Thanks Clarissa, Good points,I agree with you of course.
I was just saying it is very interesting that in most food there are some toxins, I found that for example bone broth soup which many drs and gurus say is great for healing the gut has heavy metals like LEAD in it and that is if you use organic bones as well.
Oh here in London its raining :(

I thnk so, I really think so.
Dr. Gregor, you are so awesome! Thanks for yet another highly interesting and entertaining speech! I´d love it if you could talk about hashimoto thyreoiditis and if it can be healed by a plant-based diet
Dr. Greger is a rock star of the healthy eating world. :)
I was convinced several months ago and finally got over the hump and went for it (Vegan) starting just a week ago (1-Oct-2015).
Zvi Benari how’s it going for you?! I’m 3 years September 27!
I love all of your content watch every video and when you went into detail about cigarette industry tactics as they relate to the modern animal infustry you think i would have been prepared but it still hit me like a slug to the chest. Very powerful stuff thank you for all that you do.
I love you, Dr. Greger! You inspired me to go vegan. It's the best thing I ever did for me, the animals and the planet. Thankyou!
I've beeeeeen waaaaiting for this!!!! It is TIME!
Amazing! brilliant delivery of life changing facts.....Thank you...
Amazingly great video. I think I've just been convinced to the vegan lifestyle.
Taylor Ciccotelli DO TRY it Taylor...there is SO MUCH support for it on the 'net !
YAY! Congratulations! :)
Taylor Ciccotelli There are a BUNCH of great resources on Facebook too!
Thank you for what you are doing Dr Greger!!!
You are changing people's lives for better!
You're a genius, Dr Greger! I am a dietitian and, I just love to hear you! You are a God given, science based, amazing Doctor! Following you!
Those 86 thumbs down are either meat, dairy products owner or corrupted doctors...
"doctors"
Or perhaps people who actually understand science and the profound difference between correlation and causation. This was one of the most biased and agenda driven presentations of nutritional information I have ever watched. Red meat for the vegan faithful.
Richard Hanson awwww sorry you feel personally attacked by facts
Mds
Richard Hanson
You’re metaphor makes no sense. Why would vegans want or consume red meat? Or are you saying this presentation is anathema to vegans like red meat? Or that we can’t accept that this is a biased agenda-driven presentation? Do you know what you’re saying? Look, rather than defending your bacon sandwich or whatever, the best way to see if eating plant based is good for you is to try it! Give it a go and see how you get on. 🌱
A highly entertaining, informative presentation as always. Thank you Dr Greger.
Thank you so much Dr Greger. Another great talk that I can pass on to others. Like all your information this one is much needed and I will be watching this one several times.
I just have to express my utter love. I have opened the eyes of quite a few friends without being a vile guilt tripping angry vegetarian/vegan about it. No, your video scares the shit out of them enough that I don't need to. Quite literally lol.
I can't believe I watched the entire duration of the video. Needless to say, great video. Also, I adore the way you simplify and deliver such complex information.
i wonder why there is no paleo dr. who gives yearly lectures about all the new research that shows how great the paleo diet works.
Keith Allen lol
Dr. Michael Greger is awesome.
BEST SPEECH EVER! I wish my family would listen to this and go vegan as well!
The most important I've listened to this year! thank you!
It is amazing how long the effectiveness of the vegan diet has been suppressed.
Dominating like a boss. God bless!!!
Met him Tuesday night 1/19/2016! Thanks for coming to Portland!
I know what I'm getting everyone for Christmas this year! HOW NOT TO DIE lol. Best book title ever.
cause two risks don't make a right I love Dr. Greger's comfort inside the roman coliseum of red meat carnage and how to defeat the beast of tradition and habits that kill faster every day.
I'm 100 % in on this mission of saving lives and the planet through plant based nutrition and Dr. Greger is my got to source that I quote here in sea of cortez and usa when sparring out in the field of bad foods vs green foods. I find myself in baja mexico today where I'm helping the best fruit vegetable street stand owner who has had open heart surgery and cant feel his feet. Culturally there is a very wide gap here in finding food as medicine and standard foods as suicidal the way its eaten here. I put him on kale and cucumber juices and super berry spinach, hemp and flax smoothies today. In mexico people are amazed with this research and evidence Dr. Greger presents. thx amigo keep the spark of fearless truth coming strong we appreciate it all.
This video is pure gold! It has been spread.
it is such an AMAZING feeling knowing for sure that I will never have any type of heart disease, obesity, diabetes.. so fucking wonderful to be able to control my own health.
Thanks for presenting all of this information, Doctor.
You speak so much sense
I have waited so long for this. It's better than Christmas.
I can't unlove this guy.
Marco Meerman :D
Legend! I wonder how many lives a daily dose of Dr. Gregor has/will save?! Amazing humanitarian.
Well that was quite the ovation.
Not a dull moment in this presentation!
I would give this video two thumbs up If I could. Such a great video. So helpful and informative.
That was A super awesome lecture. thank you for all the work you do
What a life changing presentation.
OH.MY.GOSH.
YAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSS
Very good lecture! Added to my favorites! Keep up the good work!
Long live Dr. Greger!
Awesome stuff! I really appreciate your work. You have influenced my life and health for the better. I can't wait for your book to come out. A big thank you from The Netherlands!
most amazing man in the planet! honestly thank you for all you do and the information that you share it's life changing.
Just one. little. note. about the presentation. When you talk about Rheumatiod Arthritis, there's a slide that shows the countries (graph) ... We're not Czechoslovakia. We have been The Czech Republic for more than 20 years. People seem to ignore this all the time :D
Love the whole talk tough :)
Exceptional work - science - humour - and humanity
9.56 "Why bother quitting smoking if my cheese and ham sandwich is just as bad for me" Haven't laughed myself silly in ages
Awesome! I have been waiting to hear someone like him! I knew being a Adventist was right! Ellen G White was a prophet and had visions from God in the 1800's. He told her that meat would be unsafe in the last days. That is why she promoted meatless diets in days when no one spoke of being a vegetarian. So, Dr. Gregor was not the first person to promote a healthy, meatless diet.
Can't wait for your book to come out!
My here ... Dr. Greger.
This man is a national treasure! ❤
Great stuff, thanks!!!!!!
