Dude, your infovlogs are profound beyond anything I've seen before
+Feldenkrais with Alfons Thanks! Infovlog is the perfect term too!
Mic. the Vegan haha, thanks, I thought I needed to put some thought there, as I'm talking to the creator of the "I-nu-it" pun ;-)
Mic. the Vegan You know you can die of a heart attack with normal colesterol levels.
Define "normal"...
Friso de Jong below is correct--the whole cholesterol debate has been plagued by an absence of any rational definition of "normal" or "healthy" cholesterol. If you google the topic, websites at even top hospitals will tell you that an LDL of 100 or even 115 or 130 is healthy, normal, or even "optimal" for the 100 number. The best researchers at those hospitals know full well that this is nonsense: As even Mr. Paleo Loren Cordain and his colleagues pointed out in a paper, a healthy LDL is 50-70--our LDL falls in that range or even lower at birth, that's roughly the range for similar primates and mammals who don't develop heart disease or have heart attacks. Furthermore, if you achieved and LDL of 60 with a whole food plant based diet, and keep your LDL there, you don't develop heart disease and are virtually heart-attack proof.
When you dig into all those bloggers and even misinformed doctors claiming that people can have heart attacks with a healthy LDL level, they're simply following the herd and labeling an LDL of 95 or 120 as normal or healthy, when in fact that is a sharply elevated LDL level that puts that individual at risk. In fact, that LDL level may be DOUBLE what that person's LDL level was in infancy. Our diets are totally out of whack, and thus, our definitions are totally our of whack.
Uggh, I am soooo sick & tired of hearing the P word
Ask them how many grams of fiber they get a day / per meal haha.

I appreciate the way you deliver your message, has good appeal and is entertaining. I thoroughly enjoy the Lone style of background music also, one of my favorite artists. Keep up the good work sir.
+Shin Akuma Thank you!
Excellent information, well delivered!
mic. your'e a weapon. i love these videos. the straight factual approach is awesome. seems like youve really trimmed a lot of the bullshit back when you make these. good on ya mate, keep hem coming. stay classy
I eat 100 grams of fiber per day.

Great work, Mike. Very interesting to watch and listen to all your videos. Keep up the great work.
Great stuff Mic, thanks for your work.
Man this is becoming my favourite channel, specially made 5-10 minutes videos for a specific subject!
Keep it up, man! You do excellent work.
This video along with the Carnorexia video are amazing! Thanks for always being dialed on info!!
+#CARBDOPING Thanks for your kind words! Just let me know if there is any info in particular you want to dial in on.
Such a great video! Awesome work!
I know a guy who said he could never go vegan because he wants to be a body builder and plants don't have protein. First I laughed, then I showed him a massive list of vegan body builders and fitness experts. Now I just sent this video to him. Thanks for sharing!
Dont force your diet on others asshole
People like you give vegans a bad rep
SunzOffski dude, you kill billions of animals by eating plants. The bugs, the deer etc. Modern agriculture.
What we gunna do next live of vitamin tablets? Fs
Sean K260790 go look up the science behind how cows produce protein 🙄 their body’s work very different to our bodies.
Chalk most of the plants are fed to animals so sure cop deaths exist but in your burger there are about 500x the plants that are in my meal. Sure we can’t live cruelty free but why do you want to maximise the harm to animals and planet during your life time?
@@TheJustbristol27 what? A cow can eat up to 10,000 lbs of plants before slaughter. Which is the best choice, I think the only choice should be using less plants by eating the plants ourselves because in that equation there’s not a cow that has to be fed by plants and killed as well
Adding links to the description for your references would be cool.
Thanks for dropping the studies
Thank you for doing the work and for providing references. Appreciate your efforts. Learning a ton here :)
My daughter has PKU which basically means she medically can't eat animal protein, soy and many other food items. PKU in a nutshell is a problem with breaking down protein, so we live a very low protein existence and we are all healthy!!
Thank you for making such insightful videos. This is very helpful especially while trying to continue to practice a fully vegan diet so again I thank you!
Please continue posting great videos have a good day!
Simple, straight to the point video. Like it 👍
I loved the idea of the first part of your video. If you could combine in one video the amount of influence we get from media to consume animal products, I think it would be an eye opener.
Dude you're awesome. I watch your videos to shore up my arguments when people ask why I don't eat meat.
Well I find that to be the problem with society. Instead of viewing the science and making your own decision, you watch a biased video.
@@thewhitedeath586 Biased video? The scientific evidence is literally right there, in the description. The video is just a showcase of these studies.
@@decom707 put Dr Zoë Harcombe into the search bar pick a few vids and you’ll get chapter and verse on why Mic the Vegan is wrong completely wrong. I suspect the reason for dissing meat is because of the cruelty factor but let’s face it you can only make a few videos about that before you run out of material.
LOL! Same!
You've got some good quality videos on your channel, and obviously put a lot of work into them. Some references in the description box would make it complete :)
If you click on "Show More," the links to the references show up.
Just found your channel and I love it so much already.
Would have been nice if you post links of all those videos and studies below the video. But yeah, love the video. Subscribing.
Thank you. You've been part of the chorus of voices that has led me out of the dark. And now my boyfriend has joined me, and two friends and my mom are taking steps towards a plant-based diet too. I thought I was eating healthy before. We all did. I didn't know why I still had health problems. They're gone now. Thank you.
hey mic. i just wanted to tell you i appreciate all the information and research you are putting into your videos.
i recently had a bad scare with my heart and i ended up in the hospital. they diagnosed me with Atrial Fibrillation and stage 1 hypertension.
ever since then i literally made a hard left turn and i went completely vegan cold turkey. i just cut it all out. i decided if its going to kill me then i don't need it. only thing is my blood pressure is still high so I'm wondering if I'm not eating enough greens and drinking enough water. I'm committed to this lifestyle because i don't want to die. I'm only 26 and if leaving meat alone is the only way to reverse the damage I've done to my body then, thats what ill do to prolong my life.
do you have any advice i can use?
Don’t go vegan! Watch Bart Kay videos to learn what’s really going on.
That is why we started our plant based journey. When my husband had an Afib episode we were scared and started to look around to learn more about what we could do to help him. We thought that previously we had been healthy. We exercised, ate vegetables and fruit and only ate the 'good animal products' - or so we thought. We watched Game Changers, went vegan, and later whole food plant based and never looked back. The heart issues disappeared as well as other things like high cholesterol and allergies. Win all the way around.
Great video Michael
Your videos are great! So informative and interesting
Hey! Love the channel. I had a question and was wondering if you did much research into the topic. I lift weights 5-6 times a week and eat around 2500-3000 kcal at about a 70-15-15% split. This amount of protein is around 90-110g depending on the day, but it is all plant-based. Any chance this is harmful? Or is it mainly animal-based protein that is harmful? BTW, this type of eating has helped me increase strength and gain some lean mass (~4lbs) so it has been effective in that sense. I have been unsuccessful in finding studies that directly compare animal vs. plant based protein consumption. Thanks a lot
+TheOpportuneNoodle It is certainly animal based proteins that are most harmful. Especially when talking about boosting IGF-1 which is cancer fuel when it is too high. Here is that study you were looking for:
cebp.aacrjournals.org/content/11/11/1441.full.pdf+html
Crazy refined plant protein like soy protein isolate have been shown to boost IGF-1 as well, but normal soy does not.
Allegedly you can get the same protein-muscle synthesis at 0.6 grams/lb of body weught as 1.0-1.5 g/lb so you are certainly meeting your target.
Mic. the Vegan Thanks!! You have an amazing channel keep it up
It dosen't matter if you have moderate to high protein. As long as its not from red meat chicken and dairy. People that train still need more protein than regular people.
False false. If you just eat more due to exercise your diet will take care of that need. So just eat enough.
The problem is buddy by eating too much to get the protein you need will make you fat.
Being fat is front row ticket to heart disease. You need to cut down on food and consume fish like salmon good for the heart and beans. Adding occasional grain fed chicken or organic chicken. Completely vegan is not recommended for adding muscle or being lean and cut unless very good genetics.
Grown Salmon has one of the worst case of getting carcinogens and pollutants.
And since when is eating enough = eating too much?
Who the hell wants ton of muscles? I wanna be endurance athlete.
@Jerry Perry Peeing proteins? Are you a joke? Proteins are too big molecules to be peed and wow. You don't know shit. Excess of proteins are converted into fat.
Great video Mic! Keep it going! :)
Awesome video as always very direct
this vid is the most important thing in the world. amazing job! going to try to save my father who just had a stroke.
So interesting, went to the gym and the man behind the counter says he developed a condition where his gut was leaking into his insides. He said he can't understand what went wrong he did all the right stuff like use heaps of protein powder to stay healthy and fit. Sad.
leaky gut has nothing to do with protein, it's mostly caused by an allergy to antinutrients in.....GRAINS!
sounds like the bro science version of "Leaky gut" syndrome... lol
Gluten is the number one cause of leaky gut.
Greatly exceeding your true protein needs will not help you put on muscle any faster and will lead to systematic acidity that can causes problems like leaky gut syndrome.
@@Glenburrows dairy
Amazing! Thank you for all you do!
new favorite channel. thank you
Seriously impressive. I was on 60 gr per day covering my amino profile with beans and fruit and still grew muscle at the same rate as 200 gr per day, i felt 100 times better aswell. Love your info and approach ✌
I'm pretty sure the RDA recommendations for protein are just 10% of calories. I don't know why anyone would be suggesting a ridiculous 35%, but that's not the standard recommendation. Hell, I do some power lifting and work to be as strong as I can and 20-25% of calories from protein I think is fine for me.
The recommendation is 10-25%; however, 25% is recommended for ATHLETES, not the average person. 10-15% for the average person is plenty.
I'm glad you made the distinction between animal protein and plant-based protein.
Very useful! Thank you!
Our culture teaches us to be 'Followers' from birth, on average, 90% of adults are Followers, and only 10% are Leaders. The Meat/Dairy/Egg industry knows these cultural statistics and uses them against you as they teach you to follow their teachings to eat their products and Lots of them!
+Vegan Nurse Practitioner agreed, most people have a herd mentality.
+Vegan Nurse Practitioner Most people are terrified of standing alone.
Yeah wake up sheeple
Vegan Nurse Practitioner you do realize the low fat ideas have been made upon the 1950s and we need new research
Wouldn’t the same logic apply to the vegan movement? Ironic you can’t see that.
“But protein tho!?”😥

Bongo Dave I'm good. Protein is the most dangerous thing in life, despite it being the core ingredient to create life in the first place
its pretty much just poison.

You're awesome. Subscribed!
Hey I just discovered your channel from Jake's video with the compliment chain.
Great work!
This topic is so interesting.
+The Dancing Snail Awesome!! Jake is great. Thank you :)
+The Dancing Snail Hello, protein is essential for maintaining your skin and colloidal osmotic blood pressure. Please remember that all of these Vegan enthusiasts are not registered dietitians, nurses, physicians, biochemists, biologists, or experts in human physiology. Cholesterol, such as that found in the cell membranes of all living things, including plants, animals and even fungi is essential to life. Otherwise cells could not maintain homeostasis (or form). Even spearmint has cholesterol. Healthy fats (omega 3 and 6 and plant-based saturated fats) are essential for brain health.
To be quite honest, the worst thing you can do for your body is to have excessive carbohydrate intake. High-Carb vegans are essentially running down the life of their pancreases, livers, and creating a very high risk of type 2 diabetes later on in life, through excessive carb intake (stressing the pancreas) and causing osmotic diuresis of sugars through the kidneys. Those high-carb vegans are peeing frequently to waste the sugars their bodies cannot convert to fat (due to shock to the pancreas and an inability to produce enough insulin). This is a similar issue to type I diabetics, who frequently die of kidney failure from the osmotic diuresis of glucose in their urine. Eating in excess of 500 grams of carbs a day will also cause systemic inflammation similar to metabolic syndrome, causing coronary artery disease and plaques to form. Total free cholesterol lab tests do not assess and are not diagnostic of pre-formed plaques. They merely tell a person how many circulating fats (triglycerides, cholesterol, & etc) they have at the time the blood was drawn.
High carb vegans also, suffer from chronic diarrhea due to the fluid and electrolyte imbalances they are giving their bodies and forcing their bodies to excrete through their large colon, along with vast amounts of fluid. This is another avenue through hyperosmolar diuresis can occur. For instance, too many bananas (potassium) can cause diarrhea (along with cardiac failure and seizures and tetany and arrhythmia and acute confusion).
Please remember to follow your physician's advice before consulting with individuals who are not experts and have no code of ethics to adhere to. Individuals like freelythebananagirl and durianrider, and their proponents are profiting at the expense of many (including at their own expense), as well as attempting to shut down/shut up the people who are having acute pancreatitis from the diet changes. The lab results they show on their channels are NOT comprehensive. They do not show pancreatic or liver enzymes, hemoglobin A1C, or hormone levels. They do not have urinanalyses performed to asses 24hr creatinine and urea levels and glucose levels in urine. They are not actually being worked up in a way that would be diagnositc of the potential problems a high carb vegan will face. If you are a low-carb vegan, great. But if you are a high carb vegan or ANY vegan advocating that individuals who eat a balanced diet including animal fats and meat are at a higher risk of cancers or diseases of any kind, you are mistaken. The world is polluted through and through. To think you can escape environmental causes (dietary as well) of disease, you are again, unfortunately mistaken. A large part of disease processes are genetic, as well as life-style related. Places with the highest lifespans in the world are places wherein individuals eat a balanced, often ethnic diet of fruit, vegetables, grains, and fats and proteins (from both animal and plant sources). There is no vegan race/culture that has a markedly higher lifespan than those cultures/races that eat animal products in moderation. Living forever is not the secret to the universe, it is an unrealistic, wish brought on by ego crisis. The life in your days is much more important than the number of days in your life. I believe this as a hospice nurse.
Please also be advised that fructose, such as that found in fruit and in processed, sweetened foods (high fructose corn syrups) are stressors on the pancreas that increases the proliferation of pancreatic cancer cells. Pancreatic cancer has some of the highest mortality rates of all cancers. And Steve Jobs died very likely because of his fruitatarian diet. Glucose is needed for instant energy. Proteins can be broken down into carbs and released slowly, causing less insulin spikes. Hyperinsulinemia (too much insulin in the blood) is found in insulin resistant individuals, women with poly cystic ovarian syndrome, and Type II diabetics. Too much insulin in a body that is inflamed from the acidic sugars and conversion to fat will most definitely lead to abdominal weight gain, higher cortisol levels, and hormone changes from estrogen to androgen in women.
+On a Clover-Covered Hill The cholesterol in plants is not the cholesterol that is in mammals and therefore is irrelevant: "All plant foods are considered cholesterol-free....Plants contain their own special forms of cholesterol called “phytosterols”, but phytosterols are toxic to human cells, so our intestines wisely refuse to absorb them" - From an MD at www.diagnosisdiet.com/food/cholesterol/
You are clearly swallowing the anti-carb fearmongering hook, line, and sinker. The Okinawans ate 85% of their calories from carbs in 1949 and are widely accepted to be one of the longest living, healthiest cultures on Earth. (Page 10: www.okicent.org/docs/anyas_cr_diet_2007_1114_434s.pdf)
The longest living population on Earth, however, is the Adventist Vegetarians, 15% of which are vegan:
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11434797
"The life in your days is much more important than the number of days in your life. I believe this as a hospice nurse." Watch this talk on the effects of a plant-based diet on disabling diseases and tell me that again: th-cam.com/video/1DCjwIVJmMw/w-d-xo.html
"The world is polluted through and through"...90% of persistent organic pollutants that we are exposed to come from animal fat, so a vegan diet has the lowest amount of toxins:
www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1262363613001791
Funny that you are spouting all this stuff about diabetes. As a nurse do you have experience with diabetic neuropathy? After years of extreme burning from malfunctioning nerves, patients had "Complete relief of the SDPN pain occurred in 17 of the 21 patients in 4 to 16 days" on a low fat vegan diet. Also, blood sugar is included on those shallow blood tests. Doesn't seem to be an issue. www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.3109/13590849409003592
Lastly, I don't follow the advice of Freelee and Durianrider, I follow the advice of Drs Esselstyn, Barnard, Campbell, Greger, McDougall (mostly), and others. I just don't understand where you are getting all of this "high carbers have diarrhea, etc" information. No studies, nothing, just guilt-driven nonsense. Also, genetics are an excuse to not change your ways...in 95% of cases triggered by bad diet/environment.
+Mic. the Vegan
1. Plant Based Cholesterols do not turn into animal cholesterol in human bodies, which is something I never stated occurs. I stated that it is essential that all animals and plants have cholesterol in their cell membranes. So, if plants do not give your cells that essential thing, where does it come from? Your body makes cholesterol from carbohydrates and fats and proteins (by the process of deamination). Your leap in logic is hard to ignore. I am speaking to mostly High Carb Vegans, as stated. Also, carbohydrates in excess (i.e. the average of 500 grams high carb vegans like FreelyTheBananaGirl indulge in) can have a significant impact on your lipid profile.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1479303/
2. About Okinawans. They still ate animal products in moderation. If 85% of their calories came from carbs, then fine. That figure doesn't give ANY useful information on total daily caloric or carbohydrate intake. So you are using this information incorrectly to justify the idea that a "high carb" diet is equivalent to "getting most of their calories from carbs." Those two things are not the same for several reasons. High carb vegan diets encourage people to eat much more than their recommended daily intake of both calories and carbohydrates. High carb vegans advocate intake in extreme excess of caloric needs. The participants in this study you mentioned, DO NOT overindulge. Basically the difference between Okinawan participants in this study and high carb vegans is: Okinawans eat mostly carbs, within daily caloric intake. High carb vegans put themselves into clinical glucosuria by taking in nearly 500 GRAMS of carbs a day, well beyond their caloric needs and muscular glycogen stores. Please tell me you can see how these are not the same thing, therefore this study you brought my attention to is irrelevant for what is being discussed. I could eat 1000 kcals of fat/day or 1000kcals of carbs a day. Those Okinawans are not binging on their carbs. They are healthy because they have moderation, including moderate consumption of meat/dairy. And if you recall, the food pyramid recommends that most calories come from carbohydrate sources (fruit, grain, and dairy) anyway. So how is this any big shocker? Basically you just compared a statistic for "primary caloric consumption based on recommended intake" to a "primary caloric consumption equal to three days' of recommended intake." The one taking in 3 days of carbs in one day, sometimes in one sitting, is the high-carb vegan.
3. Adventist Vegetarians are not the longest living population on Earth. And this article does not claim that they are. It is a prospective study based on SELF-REPORTED information via survey. It is quantitative, but descriptive and thus a very, very weak study, especially when depending on survey. Participants completing studies are at high risk in these studies for user error and user bias. Additionally, the descriptive statistics used to assess the information used in this study is prone to Type I and Type II error. The level of measurement of the data collected in this study is of nominal level, the lowest level of measurement. You have never performed research, or maybe you have never critically analyzed research before. That's okay, most people haven't. But the fact that you used this article, basically just threw it out means you must not have read it either or else you would know it doesn't support your claims. Authors make no claim that these individuals are the longest living population/culture/creed. At all. Also, 15% are vegan (15% of a population is significant, but they are not the majority of individuals being studied). The last reason why this is an exceptionally weak study to bring out to support veganism as the only way to live/be is that the study looks at a multitude of other variables such as cigarette smoking, hormone replacement, access to healthcare (and preventative medicine), and exercise. These are MANY variables. Overall, this is a very weak study to support your argument that "veganism is the way to live the longest." The article is also from 2001 (outdated) by over a decade.
www.who.int/mediacentre/news/releases/2014/world-health-statistics-2014/en/
+Mic. the Vegan 4. Environmental pollutants do mostly come from animal fat and animal sources. You can choose to cut them out completely or eat in moderation, just as the healthiest races of people do already. Also, you can probably cut out some of your risk factors by not using teflon coated or aluminum cook/bakeware. But yes. I stand by my statement that the world is polluted through and through. Even ORGANIC farms do not always have a history of being organic and chemicals remain in their soil. And unless you collect rainwater and turn it through distilling and RO into something 100% verifiably pure, then guess what? Your water is full of it as well. All water. Even potable city water has traces of pollutants (i.e. the fancy, designer cancer treatment chemicals that are metabolized and excreted into the city water). Not all of these are filtered out or even able to be removed by resources available to water treatment facilities, sorry to say.
5. "Lastly, I don't follow the advice of Freelee and Durianrider, I follow the advice of Drs Esselstyn, Barnard, Campbell, Greger, McDougall (mostly), and others. I just don't understand where you are getting all of this 'high carbers have diarrhea, etc" information. No studies, nothing, just guilt-driven nonsense."
a. Good thing you don't follow Freelee/Durianrider.
b. Bad thing you take whatever Drs. Esselstyn, Barnard, Campbell, & whoever else you copied in order from wikipedia as gospel. Don't forget, they are making money as well. And what sells better than "The big bad companies and big bad doctors want you to eat meat for their profit?" These are the same people who refuse to whistle blow on things that MATTER, things that kill people every day directly, not by proxy. For instance, big pharma paying "for profit" ethical review boards for the go-ahead to perform unethical research on homeless, disabled children, veterans, the elderly, & foreign/illiterate/uneducated/uninformed participants over-seas. What about recruiting illegal aliens for drug trials to and using leverage like "oh you might be deported if you don't take this...."? What about the physicians and researchers who are paid big money to keep silent? You know... There is a book you might genuinely be interested in called White Coat Black Hat. By the way, Dr. Campbell states that he is not a vegetarian or a vegan, "because they often infer something other than what I espouse." Can't say I blame him... Because he seems to have a holistic insight into the many causes of disease. Blaming just one thing (animal products) for the host of diseases out there is just ridiculous nonsense. And any physician or pathologist will explain to you, especially one not profiting directly, how many avenues through which disease take root. Diet is just one part of it. Veganism is just one exercise in "security theater."
c. As for the rest on diarrhea & the like, I am getting it from freelee and durian rider themselves who have admitted to loose stools, along with many of their followers (ones who had good and bad experiences). Not surprisingly, freelee and durian both try to bully people who have tried their diets and suffered very negative consequences into complete silence. They try to shame them. They accuse them of "not doing it right" and "cheating" and "trying to get attention/hide the truth/promote meat." It's just as disgusting as the corporations who pay off doctors and researchers to be "silent" rather than advocate for people's health and well-being, whatever that means for them. You can check out their videos and pour through the nonsense to find them discussing it. Or you can google hyperosmolar diuresis, potassium wasting through liquid stools.... Fluid & electrolyte imbalances brought on through excess dietary intake...
d. But I assure you this is not "guilt-driven nonsense." I have nothing to gain by telling you what I am telling you. I am not making a profit unlike freelee, durianrider, and Dr Esselstyn. I'm not trying to become a youtube hit. I'm concerned. I am very concerned about the food-shaming going on here and for very little to show for it. I can tell you are passionate, but do you have to resort to ad hominems to make a point? I don't believe you have to.
Got a chicken nuggets add before this. Irony.

Hey, Mic first off I am becoming a huge fan of you, and you are the reason I am going vegan. I have been tracking everything the last week on cronometer, and I am consuming nothing but plants. I have noticed that I am intaking around 80 grams of protein a day. This is largely from beans, nuts, and seeds. I have also noticed I am getting around 100 grams of fiber. Do I need to tweak my meals to get lower protein? Thanks so much for what you do, and i hope to hear from you.
Mic as always your videos are great, I'd just like to point out that we should not base our proteins intake by a fixed amount but on our body weight ( as long as we talk about a healthy with a normal BMI value) or to be more precise on lean muscle mass, as taller people for example will have a higher protein need, and let's not forget that if we practice any physical activity the proteins needed are going to be more as metabolic processes of recovery and adaptation require proteins as well. It is well established that the minimum amount of proteins per day should be around 0.75 gr x kg of body weight if you are sedentary and don't practice any sports and it goes up to around 1,3-1,5 gr for strength sportsand most of the sports in general and even to 1,8 or a bit more for endurance sports, of course depending on your level, but that's basically it
Briliant information,thank you :)
yes you're right! I though that I would lack protein if I went to plants. But I look at horses that don't eat meat and see that they have lots of muscle.Wow!
Leonard Pfeifer you don’t have the same digestive system as a horse, may want to look it up.
@@mrmonay Thats not the point, the point is that a horse can grow some serious muscle on just grass. That means we should have no problem getting enough protein from vegetables and fruits.
Kroneexe that is precisely the point. Horses take grass and it is fermented in their stomach, that process is where they get the nutrients from the grass, it’s not just “digesting”, humans cannot do this. You do not have the same stomach/digestive setup, you have to eat the fats/sugars/proteins directly. Also hang around horses and cows and see just how much they are eating each day.
@@mrmonay what about gorillas?
@@cletus9944 gorillas digestive systems are not the same as ours, closer than horses or cows, but still not the same, they eat 40+lbs of plants a day, and often eat their own feces when needed to address vitamin and mineral absorption issues. If eating 10+ lbs of plants a day and possibly eating your own poop sounds appealing to you, then by all means try to emulate a gorilla.
Bro thanks for your work, I really appreciate it, but please put your sources in the description so we can re-use them. I'd like to translate some of those articles you've shown to spanish. Thank you!
Great video, especially the cross sections of arteries & other artery photos, although there is a refined sugar connection to all this abnormal fat buildup. Also highly cooked fat(animal & veggie) is a huge variable.

3 month vegan here.. Wondering if a high plant protein intake is ok? I take a vegan blend protein powder. "Rawfusion"
+john bucher You will certainly be better off with high plant protein than animal protein. Things to watch out for are giving your body a high acid load (amino *acids*) and staying away from isolated proteins that raise IGF-1 levels like soy protein isolate.
Eat lots of greens to alkalize and eat whole, high protein foods like beans if you feel the need to go hard into the protein.
You are so biased, uneducated and misleading.
You cherry pick and name your information and content, try to push veganism down people's throats and on top of that, you dare to give nutritional advice to this person over here, @john butcher , don't listen to him.
"Things to watch out for are giving your body a high acid load (amino acids)".... WHAT?
Amino ACIDS yeah ACIDS are the building blocks in protein, ANY protein, Like the one in your brain, muscle tissue, cell membrane etc.
the word acid doesn't mean shit. an acid is a molecule capable of giving an hydrogen proton. that's all it is.
not all acids, or even most for that matter - burn you / eat your flesh.
do you know the there are acids even in or RNA and DNA? Nucleic Acids are ESSENTIAL to EVERY SINGLE life form, go read a science book, and educate yourself before you go ahead and ruin other people's health.
"Things to watch out for are giving your body a high acid load (amino acids) " Smh..
and for the record, I support veganism, because it is better for our environment and it is morally right in my opinion. but not because of it's health benefits, because in life, everything has 2 sides, just like animal based diet has it's downsides and upsides, so does a plant based diet.
Ron Kolsky if its an acid its an acid you said it perfectly it gives and extra proton if in excess this lowers you ph level im prety sur you know that so if you have an excess you need something that will take the hydrogen ion aka anything alkaline you are very stupid
Ron Kolsky don't bother to teach him, he doesn't know that we have a buffer in our blood, this acid/alkaline shit is everywhere. And mic, go to a biochemistry and biology lab to learn something, and stop doing TH-cam videos.
I recently got my urine tested and it was on the alkaline side since I eat 95% vegan. But I also take in protein powder every day since I am also lifting at the gym. Getting in a good amount of protein on a vegan diet, I think, is a good idea if you have various fitness goals.
"Protein fetish"! HAHAH!!!
Lmao
great video!
I have a question.
I exercise a lot, running and cycling.
As a vegan, I've been using pea protein and other vegan protein powders. I it also bad if I consume too much plant protein?
Thanks!
Love the videos! Keep up the great work!
He's talking about animal protein sources specifically in this video.
If you eat too much apperently its taxing on your kidneys.
I don't know the numbers,but you can Google em
Watch out overdoing it with almond(can cause inflammation),soy, and pea proteins(some brands like Vega and organe are high in glyphosate).
Awesome info. Thx
You might make me go vegan, you actually made me consider it. Other youtubers like Freelee just bully those that eat meat, but you give facts and give your sources, which is something that I can appreciate.
Are you vegan yet?
Nah @@kamifaye
I want to go vegan. But idk what to buy? And how to start? Please help. :/
+SwagmodeOn I suggest you brainstorm first; make a list of plant foods you like. Next, think of meals you like and see how you can make them vegan. Like pasta with veggies, mushrooms, beans, and tomato sauce or vegan alfredo (lots of vegan alfredo recipes out there). Bean burgers, vegan pizza, stir fried veggies with rice and tofu/mock meats. How about veggies and chips with hummus? That's becoming popular. And peanut butter and jelly is a classic- just be careful not all bread is vegan, but you should be able to find some vegan bread in most stores. Ezekiel bread costs a little more but is worth it, since it's vegan and use sprouted whole grains.
Cron-o-meter helped me greatly for meal planning, and it will show you how much protein, calcium, iron, zinc and other nutrients you're getting.
It helped me to establish easy meals I could make from simple, whole plant foods, and batch cook them so I can just heat up stuff on days I work. There are lots of resources out there for vegan health and recipes. Dr. Michael Greger and Dr. Neal Barnard are excellent resources; there are many vegan TH-cam cooking channels too.
Best of luck, and reply to this thread if you have any questions or want advice. I'll do my best to offer some tips:)
+SwagmodeOn Google "Vegan starter kit." There will be lots of them. Read them all and try a few dishes that appeal to you.
+SwagmodeOn
- Starch products for energy (or fruits if you can afford them as main calorie intake): Potatoes, Rice, lenses, beans and so on.
- Get enough fruits and veggi's. Green vegedables, lenses, oat etc. for iron intake,
- B12 through methylcobalamin (pills - don't inject)
- don't use oil and eat as less finished products as possible.
Now be creative :D There are a lot of recepies out their or you can do it yourself.
That's all to it. Simple and easy.
Appreciate your videos man, ive recently gone vegan from being vegetarian for a year. I do powerlifting and have always been told that given my particular type of exercise, i require roughly 0.7-1.15g of protein per pound of bodyweight, which is a conservative 155g a day for me. what are your thoughts on this with regard to what you know?
What were you eating when you were vegetarian that you're no longer eating now that you are vegan? What prompted the switch?
hi and thank you for your guidance! can you give me your take on hydrolyzed collagen powder? please
I put half a scoop in my morning coffee but Ive recently cut out all meat and dairy to lower my ldl a bit more and also cause I feel a lot better. can I keep my collagen? thank you! 🤗
This fear of cholesterol is getting old. I used to think that cholesterol is bad too. But it seems that science is finding more and more evidence that cholesterol is not a very good indicator of the risk of heart disease.
Where are you finding this science?
I love you.
Love this video!
I'm sure you get this a lot, but have you ever watched your videos on youtube and seen the ads that pop up? I clicked on this video and an ad for chicken tenders came on. Other videos of yours that I've seen have ads for an animal based ketogenic diet and other non-vegan friendly ads. I'm guessing you can't control what ads pop up on your videos but it always surprises me.
Who can argue with this?
You haven't talked to anyone and you're too lazy to do research.
uhm...everyone who understands that association does not prove causation. Anyone who understand hazard ratios for association studies. BTW, the theory that High cholestero causes heart disease has been disproven. I can go on and on. Do some research...start with Tim Noakes
+DesignStuff your mum recites the information she has been taught. This information comes from studies funded by the meat and dairy industry so is biased. Unbiased research shows that a plant based diet is optimal for health and can prevent / cure many of the leading causes of death
LOL Who could argue with this bullshit clickbait video
DesignStuff How will it feel to know that she's been dispensing ill informed advices to her patients for 25 years?
I cant stand all these protein powder boys
Great info.
How do vegans get vitamin b12?
Eli Johnson they take supplement s made of sewage
you don't need b12
ljklmoiaoklml ljkajksjdklfma I wish
i've never taken b12 all my life , my diet has only 3% b12 and i've been on it for 3 years now
ljklmoiaoklml ljkajksjdklfma give it 5-7 and you’ll regret that.
CARNIVORES!!!! come watch this video!!
+tattooed vegan It's hard to get my cat watch this video with me this long...
good video.. thanks, i knew this already though:)
All that pseudo carnivores should know, what they are doing to their body (and to the enviroment) XD
tattooed vegan this video is bullshit
TATTOOED VEGAN I did and it’s loaded with misinformation, pass, as usual vegans trying to confirm their bias with nonsense
listening to this while sipping on my post workout protein shake
I'm studying nutrition and my professor was just saying in class that "new research shows dietary cholesterol doesn't effect blood cholesterol levels."
She said it's more about saturated fats than cholesterol. Could you address that in the future? Where might that have come from and is there any truth behind it?
Love your videos! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world! 🌎🙌🏽
If your professor said it, just ask you professor to prove it lol. Don't believe some random ass dude on the internet.
yup there is a research paper on it also ,it is dietary saturated fat which increases serum cholesterol not cholesterol for most people ,people on vegan diet with 0 cholesterol have also died of cvd
You mean fat then not protein.
Also I'm a vegan but unlike you I don't weigh 100lbs. When I ate meat I ate mainly turkey,egg white and tuna. My saturated fat intake was low and obviously my cholesterol was fine also. I think when we are talking about people who work out it's very different in terms of how much we need. And all the data supports that. It's widely debated how much but 55 grams definately isn't going to do the job. You'll end up skinny and weak. Great if you're and endurance athlete. Bad of you're a combat sports athlete or a powerlifter ect. And yes like you said studies have shown that those who eat the most meat have the highest rates of heart disease. But those studies are done on the general population who obviously eat alot of fatty meat and so their saturated fat intake is high. High protein doesn't neccearilly mean high fat. Please don't demonise protein. You'll give all the bros an excuse to ignore everything you say. Demonise saturated fat instead.
ps I eat between 180 and 200 grams of protein while being plant based/vegan. Which again shows its not the protein that's the problem but instead it's the fst. also there's a big difference between protein deficiency to the point of needing medical treatment and not getting adequate protein for your fitness goals. The general population doesn't need that much protein. I agree. But many athletes do.
Did you even watch the video? ANIMAL protein
Akalion Protein is one of the three macro nutrients. The three being fat,carbs and protein. As was explained in the video it's the FAT in the animal protein that is doing the harm. Not the protein. So he should have said animal FAT.
Bros glorify saturated fat almost as much as protein, so in terms of giving bros an excuse it doesn't matter whether he demonizes protein or saturated fat.
Although protein and fat are different macro nutrients, they don't exist separately. His goal was to show the connection between animal protein and saturated fat intake.
Kon They do exist separately. And like I already said it's very possible to have an extremely low saturated fat I take while consuming animal proteins.
What gets me about this guy is that he is always trying to persuade, rather than inform. Never entertaining the idea he could be wrong.
He's not wrong because he looks up research and studies. He explains his findings in these video's. Of course some of these studies could be wrong, but that's always possible. I think the problem is not Mic. the Vegan being wrong per se, but non-vegans not having an open mind towards the subject.
Exactly. The truth is that we could all be wrong. Having the attitude that your way is the only way is never a good thing. I take everything this guy says with a grain of salt
especially if those non-vegans are pharmacists.
Because that’s exactly his intent ... to persuade not inform. He’s got an agenda and it shows in his videos and cherry picked studies ... ironic that he’s preaching health while convincing so many to try a diet they will almost certainly fail and almost certainly he worse off long term from. But let’s ignore the thousands of ex vegan stories because muh animal feels
D Money, and where are your studies supporting your claim that a vegan diet will leave people to "certainly be worse off long term"?
Oh, that's right, you don't have any. The Adventist-2 study compared health and longevity among long term vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores among over 5,000 people. The vegans lived longer and healthier lives than the vegetarians, who were healthier and longer lived than the omnivores. And those Adventist omnivores were not eating the standard American diet, they ate a lot less meat than that. And that study is just one of hundreds that show a long term vegan diet is healthier. There's no need to cherry pick.
Thanks for sharing
Mic. the Vegan - so the advice that you need to cut carbs and include more protien to enter the fat burning mode is wrong? just curious im not contraindicating you . also do Body builders need more than the DRI of 45/ 55 gms , do you think the answer could be marginally or it just doesnt matter as long as DRI is met ? again , just thinking aloud ...not opposing your view as i understand only in times of starvation / kidney disease one can have protien deficiency .
Cholesterol is extremely healthy if not oxydised...
Your words are falling onto deaf ears in the vegan cult bubble.
your evidence is stupid. If you take anyone eating a typical american diet and switch them to vegan, of course the results will be amazing. You would see the same results if switching to a balanced healthy diet with meat.
Vegan diets are still healthier there is no such thing as "healthy" meat
This theory is very well disproven if you dig deeper or watch more of his videos
+The Horny Vegan Meat is healthy , vegan diet is not, it's actually more artifitial then food in Mc'Donalds.
'Balanced' diets with meat have been proven not to work. How do you define 'balanced' to the average American?
Snow Fawn how are whole food vegan diets more artificial than McDonalds? (ironically, they are the least artificial diets) Someone doesn't know what you are talking about. If you are talking about vegan version of a standard diet, yes you are right it's not healthy. But the healthiest diet is the plant based diet - hands down is.
Well said my friend
Hello Mic,
My name is Luke and I am actually trying to gain some weight in muscle mass.
I don't eat animal protein but is all protein bad.
I currently weigh around 140 lbs.
I want to be at least 160 lbs.
I have been consuming at the minimum 48 grams of protein a day sometimes almost 100 grams of protein.
Does the amount of protein vary upon your individual physique goals?
You make a convincing argument against most of what I hear everywhere else.
wow you almost fooled me with your carefully worded about protein being a killer but in the end it was the cholesterol which is the real killer not protein. chicken breast is the best source of protein and its also very lean which won't be a problem to anyone.
i know you vegans are very passionate about your life style but trying to mislead people with cherry picked information will only turn people off/away by your attitude, if you really want people to join your believe than be truthful about everything.
Yeah only real men eat chicken: nutritionfacts.org/video/chicken-consumption-and-the-feminization-of-male-genitalia/
That lean meat definitely helps: nutritionfacts.org/video/chicken-big-poultry-and-obesity/
Oh and don't forget the cancer: nutritionfacts.org/video/how-many-cancers-have-been-caused-by-arsenic-laced-chicken/

IGF-1 Causes cancer?
In a Investigation into cancer named,
European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC),
they did a number of studies, one named "Insulin-like
growth factor-i and risk of differentiated thyroid carcinoma in the
European prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition."(3) that showed that
"There
was a positive association between IGF-I concentrations and risk of
differentiated thyroid carcinoma: the OR for a doubling in IGF-I
concentration was 1.48 (95% confidence interval, 1.06-2.08; Ptrend =
0.02). The positive association with IGF-I was stable over time between
blood collection and cancer diagnosis.".
With a conclusion showing:
" These findings suggest that IGF-I concentrations may be positively associated with risk of differentiated thyroid carcinoma.".(3)
In
the same investigation I found multiple studies linking either IGF-1 to
cancer or studies that tested IGF-1 with Insulin-like growth
factor-binding protein-(3) (IGFBP-3)**1
that made the test defective in resulting conclusions. For example,
this study done on IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 in relation to cancer in the EPIC
investigation presented this outcome:
**1: ("The Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein also known as IGFBP serves as a carrier protein for Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1)" "Approximately 98% of IGF-1 is always bound to one of six binding
proteins (IGF-BP). IGFBP-3, the most abundant protein, accounts for 80%
of all IGF binding. IGF-1 binds to IGFBP-3 in a 1:1 molar ratio. IGF-BP
also binds to IGF-1 inside the liver, allowing growth hormone to
continuously act upon the liver to produce more IGF-1"(6))
"Our
present study results were combined in a meta-analysis with those from 9
previous prospective studies to examine the overall evidence for a
relationship of prediagnostic serum IGF-I with colorectal cancer risk.
In the EPIC study, serum concentrations of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 showed no
associations with risk of colorectal cancer overall(4)"
Key word being IGF-I AND IGFBP-3. Thinking
that there had to be a reason for this conclusion in a controlled study
of this magnitude, I looked at a review of the study to find the reason
why the EPIC study didn't find data to suggest IGF-1 or its binding
protein causing cancer. In the review found why:
"high IGF-I and low IGFBP-3 increase risk of colorectal cancer" "Because
determinants of tissue IGF bioactivity appear to be regulated in
parallel with circulating IGF-I level, it is reasonable to hypothesize
that the substantial intraindividual variability in circulating levels
of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 may be important in determining risk of some
cancers(5)"
The EPIC study showed no association with IGFBP-1 or 2 and cancer concluding:
"No clear colorectal cancer risk associations were observed for IGFBP-1 or -2(7)"
Meaning that first, IGFBP wasn't association with cancer second, that the study(4)
wasnt using the correct controlled variables resulting in corrupted
data. With that said, I can easily conclude that IGF is associated with
cancer, and that IGFBP has nothing to do with causing cancer. To take
this one step further I found a study that tested "The
association of diet with serum insulin-like growth factor I and its
main binding proteins in 292 women meat-eaters, vegetarians and vegans."(8). This study concluded:
"Intake
of protein rich in essential amino acids was positively associated with
serum IGF-I (Pearson partial correlation coefficient; r = 0.27; P <
0.0001) and explained most of the differences in IGF-I concentration
between the diet groups. These data suggest that a plant-based diet is
associated with lower circulating levels of total IGF-I and higher
levels of IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-2."(8)
Linking protein with the IGF-I serum.
What's IGF-1 got to do with meat?
Meat has high amounts of
protein, a complete amino acid profile. This means that it contains, in
even and high amounts, all the essential amino acids your body can not
make on its own. Intake of these amino acids in higher amounts has been
linked to cancer explained above.
Yup and chicken has the highest cause of cancer amongst all meat. Go view the videos on NutritionFacts.org.
my info wasn't cherry picked. its scientifically backed, peer reviewed studies. Its as objective and analytically logical as it gets. Come at this subject from a non anecdotal, non fallacy rooted, objective, analytical argument. Other wise your by default subject to dismissal by scientific method. *****
Chicken, even lean chicken, has a lot of cholesterol
so even on a vegan diet I should be getting most of my macros from carbs and healthy fats? I am whole food plant based, just wondering... or just keep eating a well rounded mixed up diet of as much veg as I can stuff in my face to make me feel full and everything will just kind of level out? thoughts on vegan protein powders like vivo sport/or soy /or pea protein?
Nicely done! :-)
Really interesting video, can you do protein recommendations for vegan bodybuilders perhaps? I'm thinking for a 180-190 pound male, how many grams of protein per pound is recommended? Typically the ratios are 1gram per pound (for bodybuilders), which is nearly triple your recommendation, you don't look like you lift or cite studies pertaining to bodybuilders.
thank you for all of your post..... I posted them on my FB pages... thanx...... #Veganlyfe
That beard is magical! Loving the channel brother @Mic. the vegan
That a nice summary, but from the title I thought you would talk about protein in and of itself. Like, how good or bad is plant protein?
I want to try vegan protein powder for my booty workout, and I really afraid to use it, can you suggest anything about it?
thanks Mic
Great job. :)
Good Video Man. keep up the good work. As per Dr. Sabi said, don't have to worry about protein. Mineral what's important. If our body become Acidic we get sick slowly. our body has to be Alkaline.
happy healthy vegan led me here. v informative n helpful. I'm educating myself with ur vids. thank you
