[@Fandar]

I made a video about that. Search "unnatural vegan kale seitan"

[@christopherwalter4206]

TeleTrans 1 ALL KALE SEITAAN!!

[@This09Guy]

You're not understanding. 30 bananas a day is the way to go. I can eat unlimited calories even though it goes against the laws of thermodynamics. And going raw changed my eye color to purple/striped.

[@erikbohm1779]

you've probably also developed the ability to fly haven't you

[@This09Guy]

Erik Böhm high carb no fat made me soar. The carbs give you fuel. But it has to be organic and raw

[@lambosnicko]

Lol You'd have to eat literally 100s of bananas to get potassium poisoning. Try again!

[@AntiUgg]

and you ‘vibrate on another level’

[@sparkle0859]

Wow, great, you must really be in tune with your highest vibrational self now!

[@Norahizetta]

I stopped eating salt when I went vegan. I never ate added salt anyway so when I stopped eating packaged products my sodium was SUPER low and my thyroid had some issues after about 2 years in low salt. I also have hypothyroidism (unrelated to veganism) and low sodium is actually terrible for me as I get lightheaded Lesson learned. Just eat like a normal person w/o animal products and it’s fine haha

[@iridium5652]

Salt is easier and cheaper

[@hemmuu1]

Low sodium is different than no sodium. People don't actually need much salt. About 1gram/day is enough. The recommendations on intake are based on the fact that excessive salt is harmful. (In my country the recommendation is 5grams/day which should be maximum of the daily intake.) Also, people should not use these trendy salts that don't have iodine in them because our thyroid needs iodine to function properly.

[@Paputsza]

HannahBrookeJones seaweed has iodine in it, but it's also salty. I'm just trying to give you an excuse to eat seaweed salad if you're into it because I liked it once I got used to the texture. I have hypothyroidism too, but no amount of iodine will help since it's just genetic and I have 0 thyroid function.

[@st.g6329]

I don't worry too much about iodine. I go eat plenty of dairy products. So I'm safe!

[@Norahizetta]

No unfortunately I fell into the SOS free vegan pit of doom haha. Im all good now though, I got things figured out!

[@briannerose6684]

i want more baby noises i love unnatural baby

[@PinkHairDontCare]

Unnatural baby, haha, that's perfect

[@ryanwillmore927]

Brianne Rose She doesn't even have a baby, you fucking idiot.

[@ooyo8253]

+Emi Saullo wtf are u talking about?

[@ryanwillmore927]

Jo Molly Brown She doesn't have a baby, and she doesn't have a husband. It's all a facade to mask the fact that no one can be with her. She's lying, dude.

[@briannerose6684]

Emi Saullo LOL and how did you come to that conclusion?

[@cbillings6]

I was severely B-12 & vitamin D deficient BEFORE going vegan. Funny how that happened considering I was eating A LOT of meat & dairy and I live in Arizona!! I've supplemented both B-12 & D ever since and have been vegan for 2 years. My point being those deficiencies are something everyone should have checked not just vegans.

[@BubbleGumPinkHair1]

Definitely. Some deficiencies are diet related, ie, simply not getting enough of it in your system, but some are unrelated to diet and have to do with how your body absorbs the vitamins. I've been severely iron deficient since I was a kid and I've only been vegan a year, my body just can't absorb it and I need to take massive amounts via supplementation just to get enough.

[@ala4935]

Lur that's true, and for some people there can be reasons that absorption is low. for example celiac disease. it isn't insanely common but people can be asymptomatic except for deficiencies and it's caused by the gut being too damaged to absorb properly.

[@Magnulus76]

B-12 deficiency in vegans is mostly among those who are clueless or who eschew fortified food or supplements for ideological reasons.

[@victornilssonlund6882]

Just go breatharian, don't ever have to think about stupid food again! 😉

[@perfumaphilia3246]

As the logical, rational, science-minded, skeptical person that I am, I can't believe I was so heavily influenced by Freelee. I'm so ashamed to admit it now. Why did I feel that she was somehow an authority on nutrition? Why did I allow myself to go broke because I thought the only way to be "at your best" was to eat nothing but raw fruit until 4pm? Was it her passion? Was it her thin physique that she kept saying "proved" the efficacy of her lifestyle? Was it her omnipresence in the plant-based community? Whatever it was, I genuinely thank you, Swayze, for speaking out against her, Durianrider, their zealotry, and gimmicky brand of veganism. I thank you for drawing attention to how powerful and dangerous the spreading of misinformation can actually be. Why didn't I just follow the recommendations of nutritional experts from the beginning?

[@simplyemily8251]

Perfumaphilia because they are trained in nlp and persuasion tactics

[@clearmist7170]

Or why didn't you follow what is tried and true and works. Eating meat. It's what your ancestors and millions of years of human evolution did. There were no such thing as plants and fruits as we know them more than a hundred years ago. Most plants and fruits today are not wild and were created by humans in recent times. There was no other way humans could have been as they are, without meat.

[@ChickenOfAwesome]

clear mist You are wrong in some ways and right in others - yes, a lot of fruit and veg we have today is very different to its wild counterparts. But most did exist wild in some form, we just made them bigger, or made the plant yield more crop, made them have less seed for ease of eating etc. So wild carrots are smaller and different colours, wild bananas and melons had far more seeds, wild rice and wheat varieties give much less grains per plant etc. They were all there, and they were a significant enough proportion of our diet that we devoted a lot of time and effort to farming and perfecting them! You are right that we could not have got where we are without meat - there are thoughts that our large brains were aided in development by our ability to hunt meat, and crack bones for protein rich marrow, although it was by no means our main source of food. But nowadays, while you might need to supplement some things, you no longer have to eat meat to grow and be healthy. And I say this as someone who currently eats meat.

[@jessicakathryn]

Less palatable food sounds just awful. As a chef not adding salt to food is like sacrilege. Just don't use too much. I always told my employees that salt is a flavor enhancer not a flavor. Thanks for doing this video, it dispels a lot of misinformation.

[@Magnulus76]

Most of these diets use ingredients like swiss chard, seaweed, or celery instead of salt, they don't expect food to be bland.

[@jessicakathryn]

@@Magnulus76 🤷, this was four years ago.

[@Orangeisgreat383]

But people always say, you make veganism complicated by saying people need to make sure to get key nutrients, when they themselves demonize fat/oil/salt 😆

[@may.flower9]

Alexander I heard that salt doesn't increase the risk of high blood pressure, so for healthy people it's safe to eat but people who already have high blood pressure have to watch their salt intake.

[@jannujokunen2701]

I do not consume any added salt, and i eat whole foods. And train daily sweating lot, i have no seen any problems with this. I have been doing this for a year now. I might test adding some amount of salt to my diet just to see if i can notice any sort of effect in my performance.

[@jannujokunen2701]

I'm actually interested in this, as i used to drink mineral water all day long. And used to think i need to replenish sodium etc. But currently i don't even seem to have cravings for salt. The isotonic drinks are usually mostly sugar, i get a headache from them and overall have never liked them.

[@ashleyashleym2969]

Yeah she does make veganism difficult because she's promoting a healthy version of veganism that emphasizes on balance. Which is something most people don't do, most people don't have healthy diets and most people don't have balanced diets. In ways her approach is easier because it will be easy to continue eating it but it's also harder because you have to make sure it's balanced and achieving balance is quite hard in all aspects of life.

[@NKr-qg7yf]

Pf Jesus, of course it is

[@PesteNegro]

Please, never apologise for having kids around Specially if they're yours

[@astrius4125]

She didn't apologize for having kids. She apologized for their noise. Which is the right thing to do. Noise is annoying and makes it difficult to understand the information you're recieving. Having kids is not a free-pass to annoy other people. General manner rules still apply.

So you gotta pay for it. That’s why she ignores you guys. Give up.

[@ingakarlsson]

Yeah, FullyRawKristina may have over 900.000 subscribers, but have you seen her viewcount lately? For the last month for example her views are 16k-66k. That's only about 2-7% of her subscribers.

[@NikocadoAvocado]

That, plus many of those subscribers may have been bought in the first place.

[@st.g6329]

Iris K so she doesn't just Photoshop her images, she also fiddles her subscriber numbers. Aren't all vegans pretty much the same tho? Need to keep controlling things around them to maintain their illusions??

[@starstuff100]

Nikocado Avocado the kind of sick behavior you promote is why America doesn't have a universal health care system and why the UK's is in danger. Promoting binge eating is immoral and absolutely disgusting. Funny how you used to cry for abused animals, now you just shove them in your face and laugh about it. You have no conscience. Psychopath.

[@healthiswealth3john279]

Nikocado Avocado I'M SICK OF THE COMMENTS AGAINST YOU. ALL YOU DO IS SIMPLY SHARE YOUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCES. U JUST WANTED TO SAY THANKS FOR KEEPING IT REAL, AND I FOR INE, APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS. GOD BLESS YOU!! 😇

UV hating on UV rays, so ironic!

[@iwillnotseeyourreply.9235]

I hate how so many people including doctors think there's one way to eat for everyone. Some people need more salt, some need more fat, etc. I need more fat in my diet for several reasons. I haven't gained weight because it's satiating and I eat less!

[@tinas4389]

I love your videos and the baby noises are just the cherry on top. Thank you all of this info! I am not vegan but have been interested for a while, I honestly eat fast food a few times a day and obviously eat horribly, I lack self control and clearly have issues. I have a lot to work on lol, your videos make me feel more informed. 💓👶

[@calikokat9379]

Paisley VA at least you are thinking about it and keeping yourself informed...that's a step in the right direction !

[@st.g6329]

Don't go vegan.

[@nigel4154]

sounds good! many people who eat fast food simply aren't eating enough calories throughout the day, and are tempted by instant gratification from calorie dense foods. fill up on cheap calories like bananas, oats, lentils, beans, bread and the cravings will vanish i promise :)

[@youandmevegan]

You don't have self control issues, fast food is very addicting and highjacks your brain. It's not your fault. What helped me was eating something healthy every time I ate something unhealthy, fills you up faster and at least you get nutrients.

[@Judyyesulcho]

I didnt mind the noises at all they were cute

[@SavageMinnow]

Do you need to be in the full sun to get vitamin D from it? I’m a ginger and I spend a decent amount of time outside, but it’s usually in the shade. It’s enough to where my skin does get maybe a couple shades darker by the end of he summer, but I’m allergic to sunscreen so mostly I chill in the shade or under an umbrella

[@ashley.h4323]

I honestly eat whatever I want, I just listen to my body and try to eat as healthy as I can afford. Sometimes we just put so much pressure on eating healthy when you should let it flow. Hey maybe I’m wrong but it works for me

[@simplyemily8251]

[@amyahearne7369]

Do multivitamins contain adequate amounts of each vitamin? So would I be sorted if I took a multi containing b12, calcium, and vitamin​ d and then an omega DHA/EPA supplement?

[@AetherIdol]

Can you please tell me what brand of multi vitamin you take? I am far too lazy to research for myself.

[@dallasjansen2226]

I really enjoy your videos and how thorough you are especially when using studies in your material. There are big vegan KZbinrs who dont have a clue about what material to reference or how to verify the accuracy of it. So thank you so much.

[@mexgiova]

What if im getting my B12 from other foods fortified with B12 like some cereals and soy milk for example?

[@melonynada8069]

[@collinsonyoutube]

Aspartame used to give me headaches and migraines I cut it out of my diet and they went away

[@cfrost87]

Me too.

[@Jason-ji4sy]

Yeah I can't really believe she even said that. Well... then again, it's UV, she lives off of being intentionally counter culture.

[@SmokenHash]

Aspartame gave me headaches and made me nauseous, other artificial sweeteners have made me dizzy, diet soda gives me acid reflux, and I tried something called truvia that triggered the worst panic attack I've had in over a decade, which brought back my childhood fear of eating. Every time I tried eating, I would start shaking and almost throw up, or actually throw up. So, yeah, I'm done with artificial sweeteners for good.

[@Inherentlyzoe]

hey, on the topic of raw veganism, have you heard of kate flowers? She seems to follow a surprisingly balanced and nutrient-dense diet, but I'd love to see a review of one of her "what I eat in a day" videos or something similar.

[@soili3991]

Is it really necessary to take a calcium supplement as a vegan?didn't really think about that until now🤔

[@TheSpyFromTF2]

I heard nutritional yeast is pretty high in B12, could you get a healthy dose of B12 from that?

[@battakkuki]

Not every brand is fortified with it though. So check the brand you're using if it's fortified with b12, if it is, awesome

[@BugandBuns]

I take prenatal vitamins as my supplement and it has lots of iron and b12 and dha, I'm wondering if this is enough?

[@st.g6329]

Jaz Lacoste go for a blood test to find out. Regularly until you are sure that you're absorbing it. I can't absorb vegan dha and paid the price by not checking.

[@ThornySubject]

Watercress is supposedly high in calcium, and imho is a much more palatable way of getting it if you eat a salad every day :)

[@Radjehuty]

Such great advice. The only thing I worry about for myself when tracking my consumption is my iron intake everyone seems to worry about low iron but I'm consistently taking like 200%+ RDA without even trying. I'm even wondering if I'm putting myself at risk of iron overload. It's definitely way too easy to get iron on vegan diets

[@valeriamarchini8367]

Hi Unnatural Vegan! I'd like to share my experience on this matter. When I decided to go vegan I went to a nutritionist asking if he could show me how an healthy vegan diet should look like. He was very willing to help me and I felt reassured. In particular, I asked him about the daily calcium intake on a vegan diet and he replied that if I follow the meal plan that he gave me I shouldn't have any problem. Nonetheless, if I'm concerned with the calcium-thing he said that I could simply switch to a type of water that is naturally rich in calcium. Here in Italy (I'm Italian) we have lots of different "brands" of water that are naturally richer in calcium, so I thought to share because this could be a nice alternative to supplements if someone find difficult to meet his daily intake of calcium. What do you think about that?

[@AA-nw7hi]

Valeria Marchini This is a good question! I'm also from Italy but as a vegetarian who doesn't eat milk or dairy I have the same problems, so I think not only vegans have to struggle with this issue

[@fobija1378]

From what I know you do can drink mineral water but if you drink to much you will get diarrhea.

[@CarqlineCupcake]

I agree that supplements are super important especially b12 but what about the studies that show the lack of effectiveness of vitamin d supplements? Could you maybe bring this up sometime? Love your channel :)

[@lean8834]

Thanks for the video! Could you do a video on why "any sun exposure is bad for the skin" and tanning is so bad for you? I hear contradicting messages about this!! Would love to hear a more in debt discussion about where you get the notion from! Thanks!

[@ferdinandries7232]

*waving to your off-screen baby*

[@Busybeeee]

I drink 6 cups of Almond and Cashew milk a day ( I have been diagnosed with Osteopenia) Although I do supplement ( Omega 3, Ca, Mg, B100, D3, Zinc, Iron and L Lysine ) aren't nut milks an excellent source of B12? Package indicates that in one cup you get 50% of your daily B12 requirements.

[@Jordan-sj7rc]

I take vit d, dha vitamins but I forget sometimes take them a couple times a week. Is this ok ? As long as you take them year round. B12 injection every month or 2. I track my macros and I hit 100% iron and calcium nearly everyday

[@LarnieRadek]

Jordan What do you eat for calcium and iron? They're the two things I find hardest to attain through what I eat as a vegan

[@Jordan-sj7rc]

LarnieRadek I eat alot of greens in the form of salads and green smoothies. Which I love bc you can't really taste it if you don't like greens. But after a while your taste will change and you will like them. I eat several 100 grams of spinach and romaine. Several times a week lentils and beans. Cashew milk has alot of calcium in it. I think like 50% rda. I drink it daily. I eat alot of broccoli ,nuts, peanut butter. Oats I believe have iron. Basically just a varied diet with some treats thrown in. I do use some fortified foods. Tempeh is some thing else I love. And clif bars I can't leave those out. They are fortified. Probably not the healthiest thing but they do have b12 and vitd. Flax and chia are good for omegas. Just throw them in oats or smoothies and you'll be covered on dha

[@st.g6329]

Jordan this is not accurate. Your body can only convert miniscule amounts of ALA into EPA...even less into DHA. If you're caning the peanut butter and sesame seeds to get enough nutrients like calcium and b3 then your omega 6 and omega 3 ratio will be out of balance. You need to really load up on pre- formed DHA otherwise you will be putting yourself at risk for heart problems. Also don't overdo the spinach because the oxalic acid binds to calcium and stops your body absorbing it. The oxalic acid problem is very real despite is what certain plant based docs would have you believe that it's not an issue.

[@st.g6329]

Jordan just drink milk and eat fatty fish.

[@Jordan-sj7rc]

St. G this is why I hardly ever comment. There is always someone that is not vegan on a vegan video telling me I'm wrong I'm gonna hurt my heart by bit eating cholesterol and saturated fat when our number 1 killer is heart disease. I appreciate your time sir but you are out of your element here

[@collinsonyoutube]

I love collard greens my grandma used to make them for me a lot and I still did good today I didn't know they were so good for me

[@Rivracost3]

Artificial sweetener is known to be bad for you but it is not the devil as it is sometimes portrayed as. I wouldn't recommend a ton of it but having some in moderation is fine.

[@michellesunshinestar]

I have really fair skin too. I burn really easily. We look alike, I have dark hair to my shoulders and I have bangs, and I wear dark rimmed glasses. I do take a vitamin D (it's cloudy here a LOT), and a multi, I'm mildly anemic

[@cerridwenUK]

Totally agree on all counts. I do like Mic but completely disagree about the oil thing. I take the Vegan Society supliment VEG1 that has B12 and a few others. I also, because of my age, take calcium. There is this illusion that as vegans our diets MUST perfect. That we should only have wholefood etc. I got ripped to shreds by one vegan who was in his late teens. At uni and no responsibilities because I'll have on occasion things like bought in burgers. I'm a carer for 70 year old disabled mum. She isn't vegetarian. It pains me to do her meals. But there's just me and so I am cooking more than one meal. I don't get a break. So I don't have the 'ideal' vegan diet. I do.buy things to make my life easier. So I do get annoyed with some vegan youtubers who I'm a poor example and make veganism look impossible. I thought that myself because of them. I've been vegan 9.months. Was vegetarian 30 years. I became vegan because I'd learnt too much about the truth not too. Vegan vloggers need to start remembering why they're vegan. It's about the animals. This planet. And our health. Want more vegans?! Then stop turning it into another faddy diet. It's not a diet. It's a choice of life!!

[@st.g6329]

i eat vegetables too. a lot of them. but as part of a balanced healthy diet which includes fatty fish, olive oil, dairy, eggs, organ meats and shellfish. my health is A+. Now, you were saying something about "the truth"??

[@iSaraSeantae]

She was probably referencing the unethical practices in the commercial production of animal products. I'm personally not vegan, but the way animals are raised for this purose is frankly unacceptable.

[@TheFuries99]

please have an educational discussion with some of the bigger vegan youtubers like freelee it would really be interesting to see both of your thoughts on some of the certain subjects (ps guys spread this get freelees attention this would definitely be a very educational talk between these 2 and i know im not the only one that would like to hear their thoughts!!!!!)

[@danielmclaughlin2733]

lol No Salt! I made beans yesterday to eat, had a first spoon full *runs to the store to buy salt*

[@molly104]

Have you read Whole?

[@youtubesucks5131]

I think many ideas are worth a thought. Like, question your consumption of everything. I don't think food without salt necessarily tastes like cardboard and many people use way too much salt. It can be interesting to leave it out entirely and see how things taste. It's also interesting to leave out certain oils, or try out other foods you usually do not eat, and see how you do. The problem is when it becomes a dogma and fanatics promote this stuff like it's the holy grail for everything.This is what actually takes the fun out of eating and any kind of diet. Challenging your ideas of what is healthy if you don't feel too great and experimenting can be beneficial.

[@cfrost87]

Is getting moderately tan that bad? I know getting burned is.

[@minaminaccia6356]

Thank you for mentioning that vegans need some supplementation. For this reason I am vegeterian and sometimes I eat eggs not because I like them, but I don't believe in supplements...and I make sure to buy eggs from chickens that are not grown in industries but in farms and are happy and not stressed. Sometimes I also eat high quality cheese and same thing for the cows I make sure they are not being tortured...can you tell me what's wrong this?

[@darthszarych5588]

I know that artificial sweetener is better for u than real sugar but I cant get passed the metallic after taste 😖

[@ferdinandries7232]

“Hi baby!” for every baby noise :)

[@brookgraves368]

Long time vegan Dr. Klaper, suggests B12, Vitamin D, and possibly a vegan form of DHA since a tiny amount only is made from omega 3 type foods like walnuts, flax, chia, hemp. Though he suggests eating a lot of greens each day and consumption of all the omega 3 rich foods just mentioned.

[@userjoao]

is omega 3 supplementation necessary when you don't eat fish?

[@guzlemuzle]

these is tons of omega threes in nuts and seeds and other stuff... fish dont produce omega 3... they just eat a lot of it

[@dsvwtrbeytnryune]

An algae supplement is something to consider, she has a video on this which explains it very well. There’s lots of one type of fat ALA in plant foods like nuts and seeds, but we also need the fats it’s converted into DHA and EPA. We don’t really know how much of the ALA is converted, and it probably varies a lot.

[@st.g6329]

The human body cannot convert enough EPA or DHA from ALA. This is a FACT. If you insist on vegan the you need to load up on pre formed DHA especially if you eat omega 6 nuts and seeds because your body will use the omega 6 first if you're deficient in DHA and this will put you at risk for heart problems. Get your blooodwork checked on a regular basis to see if you're absorbing the DHA supplement. I learned the hard way and had to return to eating fatty fish

[@confusedflourbeetle4734]

Fish contain high amounts of omega-3s they don't destroy it.

[@peteredwards1528]

I take a vegan multivitamin called VegVit which is pretty comprehensive, however it only provides 15% of your daily RDA for calcium, so I have to make up the deficit with plant milks, but I haven't settled on a suitable plant milk that satisfies my need to add it to both cereal and coffee. The taste of some plant milks when added to coffee is not so good. There is an oat milk available here in the UK called Oatly Barista that is really nice, but it contains rapeseed oil, so do I really want a plant milk with added oil, I'm not so sure. That said, I cannot deny it is the best tasting plant milk that I've ever tasted

[@savannahmitchum1187]

I like your line of thinking...

[@sarawahlgren1228]

Hey, you're awesome, thank you for spreading actual knowledge and actual facts about plant-based diets. I'm vegetarian since 2008 (going to transition to veganism when possible) and I didn't really know much about supplements and healthy levels, so hearing this I really got inspired to learn more and take care of my health. And about other vegans (like that vegan couple) criticizing you for going against veganism, it's always good to spread knowledge when others aren't. If they are promoting unhealthy and possibly dangerous "facts" to thousands of viewers, that's not ok and you're right to call them out.

[@brookgraves368]

UV, why will you not use a good brand of Stevia. They make some good non bitter types now.

[@steviegallagher1801]

If you use sunscreen, do you still get vitamin d from being in the sun?

Yes, you do. The sunscreen just protects your skin from burning, but not from absorbing vitamin d and tanning.

[@st.g6329]

Bianca Clark we don't absorb vitamin d. Our bodies make it from sun exposure to the skin.

[@sivanel97]

Great video 👍🏻

[@may.flower9]

Now that we heard the baby's voice, there will be rumours that Swayze just got a baby somewhere to prove that it's hers.

[@marsha32lou]

aspartame is toxic is it not??

[@todayisforever]

why d i dont want a tan ??

[@kaylab6569]

Your hair looks really nice in this video! Not that it matters what your hair looks like, but here you go, here’s a compliment!

[@wilson8979]

Artificial sweeteners are linked to bad gut health so yes they are just as unhealthy as sugar or more. Use dates or maple syrup instead or stevia in small amounts. I like raw honey.

[@bsfproductions6984]

Limiting carbs makes veganism hard as well

[@megan7086]

Speaking of baby noises, please do another video on vaccines 😊 I need a video to point people to when they tell me I'm a terrible mother for getting my TDap and flu vaccine while pregnant and planning to fully vaccinate my baby.

[@megan7086]

OESPATOI I have done my research and am absolutely pro-vaccine (just as Unnatural Vegan is.) I just want a video from her that debunks all the anti-vaxx arguments in one place so I can stop repeating myself 🙂

[@hannahbuckley708]

You're so pretty, and your hair is amazingly shiny!!!

[@Muslimah1987]

Great video! When I went vegan, I just left out the animal stuff and carried on with my (largely wholefoods based) diet with a few tweaks here and there (B12 & Vit D supplements). I don't care for obsessing over the finer details, it's not worth the stress and I'm okay with having a few 'contaminants' in my diet. Also, the baby noises were precious

[@ashleyhappenstotravel]

I just ignored the baby noises, like I ignore all babies.

[@lifebrarian]

I thought the rationale behind no oil was similar to no sugar - both are highly refined foods that only offer macronutrients and not much else (vs nuts/avocado that offer fiber and other extras)

[@st.g6329]

lifebrarian why do you think oils are only dead calories? Oils are full of nutrients.

[@kimberleymurray1863]

Thank you so much for NOT responding to AY's childish rantings. His recent actions are completely insane. He literally cannot fathom the idea that he may be wrong or that his argument could be improved. He doesn't deserve airtime on your channel.

[@st.g6329]

NotA_Deer I agree.

[@st.g6329]

pyrobotnik bashing narcissism is not just narcissistic, its also really quite sick. its an extreme projection rather than just a mild form of misunderstanding of "what" actually belongs to "whom". if youre not careful you could end up making yourself really miserable. do you know how much work it takes to re-own particular traits you have demonized and denied in yourself for long periods of time?

[@st.g6329]

pyrobotnik my dogma? What do you mean? I'm just saying it's not wise to bash specific personality traits in others because essentially we all have the same stuff going on to certain degrees and denying it in ourselves and hating it in others is just projection. Which is not an ideal way to live ones life as these things distort how we see things.

[@st.g6329]

pyrobotnik Yeah, being incapable of admitting you are wrong shows a lot of insecurity. Actually it's quite pathological. It's especially dangerous if he is influencing others. Those influenced by him are likey not to be in full possession of the facts and are easily swayed. I watched the full debate with Richard, sveridge and milk jar and came away thinking that all three of them are as fucked up as each other. That was the one and only debate I've watched of theirs because I didn't feel that it was constructive. I don't really know how debates work, but something in my gut told me that was not a real debate. It didn't feel fair or rational at all. A pretense of rationality as there but underneath the inteaction was a game of sorts. Vegan gains is not somebody I would listen to on a regular basis. I would only observe him to see how not to behave. I'm not surprised he as 200k followers, most people are irrational and need a strong cult leader to verify their biases.

[@ala4935]

NotA_Deer can someone sum up what the fuck this is all about?

[@quiannacopperbox4473]

i supplement with B12, iodine, and vitamin D, but everything else i get from food. calcium i get from almond milk, tofu, broccoli, and greens and i know technically fortified nondairy milks are “supplements” but whatever. i plug things into cronometer every couple of days and i meet almost 100% of my nutrient needs almost every day including calcium and iron and all those nutrients people like to bring up

[@viralnorn9173]

I think compared to a lot of vegan vloggers you have a more livable common sense approach and that in turn may inspire more people to join veganism. I got my inspiration from the cycling world.

[@00inthistwilight00]

Relate to so much of this, including the artificial sweetener one. I like the white stevia/erythritol combinations or xylitol for sweetening some desserts and iced tea (because it reduces carbohydrate calories coming from sugar and I don't have to worry about dental consequences as much). This negativity isn't just from vegans though, and ages ago, I had some obnoxious woman standing in line a shop lecture me about how it's a "lab product" -- for some reason feeling the need to say, "The only -ol I consume is alcohol." COOL STORY! Please, do go on. Also relate to the vitamin D one, because I'm really pale too and was recently told by a doctor (informing that vitamin D tests are now only covered by public healthcare in Australia if you're pregnant or wear a niqab/burqa) to go out more and/or "put my belly in the sun while I read the paper." Hmmmmm

[@calikokat9379]

Slightly off topic but does anybody ..grind Chia seeds before consuming... I read u need to grind them like flax to get the benefit . .I don't soak them either...

[@vcsmart4683]

Yes, if you want the oils inside the seeds. Maybe not if you're just after the fiber. You should be careful if you eat a lot dry, as it might clump and ball together possibly even blocking digestion. Best to grind and take with plenty of water or in a smoothie or other liquid or vegan-yogurt food.

[@halucasan]

I was looking in the internet and supposedly you don't have to grind them, but well I grind them anyway. I soak them and then add to smoothies and grind. You should soak them always because they can block your intestines or even esophagus.

[@calikokat9379]

VC Smart thanks !!!

[@calikokat9379]

halucasan thanks for the info !!

[@st.g6329]

If you want to know about China seeds, your best bet is to ask Mic. The vegan lol

[@thecarrotindustry7521]

Dr. Gregor says that betacarotenes act as a natural sunscreen in plants and translate to humans when ingested. Betacarotenes are what give veggies their color.

[@collinsonyoutube]

3:19 I love Supernatural great show highly recommend also I like Charmed

[@1lizzieh]

Thanks for posting this video. I’ve had both iron and B12 deficiencies since going vegan with some vegetarian lapses and it’s only been about 10 months. (I am now supplementing regularly and getting my levels done next week). It’s really upsetting to hear people spout off nonsense about supplementation and victim-blaming when someone does get sick from a vegan diet. I feel that it is deeply immoral to kill and eat animal and am not looking for an excuse to go omnivore again. I just wish certain members of the vegan community would be more compassionate for those that do have problems with a vegan diet.

[@iza4557]

I love you Swayze but protecting against wrinkles from sun damage is hard work, UVA waves (long wave radiation) penetrates through clouds and windows so even if you are inside or it is a super cloudy, rainy day UVA waves are still hitting your skin (especially if you work near a window). Sunscreen needs to be worn every single day while the sun is up :(

[@simplyemily8251]

Thank you for making a video about this. Other vegans are so oblivious to how hard they make veganism to others. You are better because you back up your information unlike these other vegans that are demonizing

[@happygolucky3550]

Good video!

[@oliviagustafson387]

When did you stop breast feeding UV baby?

[@oliviagustafson387]

Well- when did you stop pumping?

[@Bren]

Newly vegan (8 weeks in) and love this video. At the 4 week mark I got a full blood panel and all was great except my vitamin D was pretty low. Now I take a multi, extra D, B12, DHA, and a probiotic. Never felt better! Yeah you can mostly get what you need from a super regimented and carefully planned diet with sun, but ain't nobody got time for that!

[@brookgraves368]

I think a lot of the videos are geared to people that are not suffering with any significan health issues, whereas many of the utubers promoting cleaner and purer diets are coming from a background of compromised health and therefore promote very simple whole food eating as a way to allow the body to heal. Please take that into consideration.
