I went out today and bought amla powder from an Indian grocery store after listening to this video. It was $3.99 for 200g/7.0oz which seems to be noticeably cheaper than what it's being sold for online. I was hoping it would taste fruity but it actually taste like a mild spice. I added it to a smoothie and really couldn't it at all which is good.

[@silversobe]

Make sure the white tea leaves your eating come from a quality source country like Japan, which has some of the lowest levels of heavy metals in their tea.

[@Yowzoe]

Do you have a particular brand, or brand that you prefer, especially ones that are readily available? Thanks.

[@sheeralim8020]

I stir a teaspoon of amla and about 1/8 teaspoon of ginger powder, cinnamon and turmeric into my morning coffee with about a quarter cup of soy milk. Amla is super bitter by itself, but the other spices and the bitterness of the coffee flavor mask the flavor of the amla. I've been doing this for a couple of years. Great stuff!

[@2685544526855259]

+Bo Li it's called IMMORTALITYYYYY

[@BoiseTriathlete]

+Tommy Scott Please provide evidence of your claim. I simply don't believe it.

[@BoiseTriathlete]

+Tommy Scott - thank you very much for the link. This is of particular relevance for me as I am taking care of my mother with stage IV cancer, so the article does give me pause. Some concerns, however, are: 1) the use of mice--there are a number of studies where, once the species barrier was crossed, different results were produced than that in humans. 2) As +Peter Rabitt pointed out the method of delivery of these huge amounts of anti-oxidants were strictly via supplements or isolated compounds, not via whole foods. If you rely on whole foods for anti-oxidant delivery, it might be the case that you would not be physically capable of achieving the numbers used in the study. So in the case of someone that already has cancer ... inaction is action, and one has to weight the balance of evidence. Until I see more studies that support the findings of this one, I still think choosing to boost anti-oxidants, via whole foods, might be the smartest choice.

[@BoiseTriathlete]

+Peter Rabitt You do know your stuff, sir. I consider myself a faithful student of Dr. Greger and had yet to see this ... until now (did that sound Gregerish?).

Yes it would be very helpful to illustrate a nutrient dense shake, that uses whole foods with a macro nutrient ratio favourable to those bodybuilding or generally lifting weights. Most healthy shakes I see are disproportionately skewed in favour of carbs. Which is fine, but it would be good to know how to boost the protein content without sending the fats through the roof

is there an upper limit to the amount of anti-oxidants you can derive benefit from? I get the impression from these vids that it's really easy to meet your daily needs if you know which spices, fruits and vegetables to ingest.

[@windre]

Basically, eat as much as possible. Antioxidants are not like other static nutrients where one serving of them at the beginning of the day is all you need. Events that induce oxidative stress, like exercise, actual stress, and injuries all "deplete" your "antioxidant stores". Having as much as possible is best practice because they can fight oxidative stress and inflammation anywhere and everywhere it occurs. They also seem to have beneficial effects on cognitive and arterial function as well.

Thank you for all the info. I am trying to switch over to a plant based diet but, have you seen the price of Fruit and veggies lately? It is hard to convince my wife of the benefits when cost shreds our food budget. Any suggestions?

[@alicenirvana]

Look for farmer's markets; if you go to them later in the day sometimes you can get good deals on foods because they have to sell all of the produce they have remaining. Another option if you go to Google.com and look for "fruit and vegetable wholesaler" often you can find wholesalers who will sell bulk fruit and veg for a good price, but they might have minimum orders or sell fruits/veg by the case so you'd have to eat lots of food. If there's extra you can always freeze it. Another option is look for a fruit and veg co-operative company in your area, they can often get you discounted fruit & veg. You can also try to buy frozen fruits and vegetables when they're on sale. Aside from fruits and vegetables, some extremely low-cost meal staples are beans, rice, and potatoes.

[@valnaples]

Richard, with all due respect, a pound of dried lentils or beans is $1 and will likely last you and spouse a good long time. A pound of brown rice is 88 cents...a pound of organic whole carrots is 89 cents (Trader Joe's or Walmart)...these are just a few examples of inexpensive whole plant foods...sweet potatoes too are usually very inexpensive...I can usually get 3 for $1 and I live in SW Florida. Good luck & keep trying! You might check out Jeff Novick's youtube on grocery shopping...he points out some very inexpensive ways to buy whole-plant foods.

[@HopyHop1]

Legumes (lentils, split peas, chickpeas, kidney beans ...), and grains (brown rice, oats ...) are cheaper than meat. Bananas are the cheapest fruit per calorie with dates being a close second. Cabbage is a cheap vegetable.

[@valnaples]

Clyde Rembrandt Clyde, right you are! Cabbage is cheap and packs TONS of nutrition...and keeps a good long time in fridge.

2 quick questions: Do the white tea leafs contain caffeine? Are there any reasons to NOT eat 1 tablespoon of amla?

[@ppeall]

From other videos, milk binds to antioxidants. Apparently both dairy and soy milk do this. Do we now need to avoid any kind of milk in smoothies and tea? And is there any kind of alternative, like almond or coconut milk? This is fundamental, given the importance of antioxidants

[@SylwekGrega]

You can use almond milk because its essentially water + almonds..

[@ppeall]

I kind of thought that would be the case but why is soya used in a smoothie created to maximise antioxidants, if that is, it blocks antioxidants as it does in tea. Seems rather odd, don't you think? So hard to get an answer from anyone to do with nutritionfacts.org..

[@PhilMcCool]

The picture in the video is of Almond Breeze- Maybe he made a mistake. Nonetheless, the rest of the ingredients provide so many antioxidants that it doesn't matter if some are bound by soy.

[@Joseph1NJ]

Good question. We don't know because it's never been studied. We do know, or according to recent suggestions, that taking antioxidants in supplement form is not recommend. Of course a supplement is not the same as whole food. So the question begs, even in whole foods, is there such as a thing as too much of a good thing? Common sense would tell us yes. I'll skip the gooseberry powder and stick with blueberries myself.

[@bassam.2023]

Tom Jones I to had come across talk of too much antioxidants creating a pro-oxidant effect. Dr. Gregor missing this supposed fact however would really surprise me. Somehow I feel very safe following his advice and his own practice though I acknowledge he's no God and has been wrong in the past (hibiscus tea...).

[@tomjones6296]

login211 Yeah, I fell for that Hibiscus thing myself. Bought a whole bag of dried Hibiscus with the idea of making a potent antioxidant drink only to learn (thankfully BEFORE I opened the packaging) that it may come with a caveat (aluminum as I recall) anyway, I was able to return it for a refund since it was unopened. So I am thinking Dr Greger is an "early adopter" when it comes to science and about nutrition....also I notice, as he points out himself, many of his quoted studies are done on behalf of the food interests that the study is about....like blue berry studies funded by blueberry interests....still....and even though he is a vegan for reasons other than health, he does have the most information available, and I alone have probably enticed half a dozen people into buying his book, or at least reading a copy of it.

[@bassam.2023]

Tom Jones Just to be clear, hibiscus tea is fine but it can be overdone and you should not eat the leaves/flowers as Dr. Greger used to. He does also take into account where the funding for the study came from in his analysis btw. I trust the man, definitely a fan but not a fanboy.

[@anthonyromano8565]

He always provides the source of his information. Since he has a staff of ten just to be able to comb through all the scientific studies, he or they are able to filter out one-off studies versus peer reviewed double blind studies which are the benchmark for deciding what to believe.

Dr Greger. I really appreciate your videos and even though I'm a meat eater (mainly fish and turkey) I'm learning alott from you. I have a question about this smoothy. You said Ripe mexican mango pulp. I've bought frozen mango slices to use instead. Would it be better to get the pulp because of the sugar content? I know blueberrys help counteract the sugar content of the mango but 11g of sugar per 80g serving is difficult to swallow :(!

If you do answer my question I'll make sure I donate. Regards.

[@psysoul]

I'm not sure I exactly understan your question, however let me try to answer. Always better to get mango if it has no added (refined) sugar. Also Dr. Greger mentioned in one of the videos that it's mostly good to get frozen products as they are frozen when ripe and might have actually a higher vitamin content than fresh (but picked off-season, transported, etc). products.

In addition to these, grinded: a spoon of flax seeds, a spoon of chia seeds, a spoon of sesame seeds. On top I usually add a kiwi, an apple or some dates. All these I put in water about 30 minutes or more. So what do I do wrong? All the powders are too much? The fruits are not good in the morning? The fructose syrup from the raisins is so bad?

Because the Vitamin C isn't what is giving it the antioxidant power... things like emblicanin A, emblicanin B, punigluconin and pedunculagin, punicafolin, phyllanemblinin A and phyllanemblin are what gives it it's antioxidant power.

same effect because whey is made from cows milk. It's nasty stuff IMO if you really want protein powder I'd recommend hemp protein powder

[@-V33-]

That is true it does not contain caesin which has been shown to be troublesome for humans. Nevertheless it is still produced by milk which is, these days, full of antibiotics, hormones, blood and pus. For that reason I don't consider it clean or healthy at all.

Try Hydrolized whey. No lactose, 0 fats, 0 carbs. Much more healthy than milk and is not going to kill.you.

[@lianxanpo]

Instead of listening to this rubbish comments about whey protein, do your own research about hydrolized whey. In very few words, whey will help you to burn fat, increase lean mass amongother benefits. Search on pub med and make your own conclusions.

Dan Blaze that is very true and even from personal experience my immune system weakened when I used to take whey. I took it on and off to ensure that whey was the culprit and damn straight it was. I wonder why I used to pay so much money for something that has no benefit to me whatsoever lol. I bought in to the lies and the marketing!

I just ordered some off of Amazon

No need to be bashful. You can still have pancakes and maple syrup with that smoothie!

How can I know I'm really buying Amla powder in that jar? Is there a safer/safest source to get it?

[@NLR759]

[@LAKSHMIANGELES]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!

[@mykvass]

how can I tell my amla powder has any antioxidents ..I don't see any information on the package ?

[@NutritionFactsOrg]

Hi, Vrinda Bhalla! Depending on where you are buying it, that is not the kind of information generally required on packaging. We know that amla has a high antioxidant content because it has been..."put to the test!" If you're interested in the evidence, you can find all the articles mentioned in NutritionFacts videos by clicking the "Sources Cited" link below the video window on our website. You can find everything on our site related to amla here: nutritionfacts.org/topics/amla/ I hope that helps! -Christine Kestner, MS, CNS, LDN, NutritionFacts.org Health Support Volunteer

Great video

[@valerisevtsenko9265]

i would like to see some study showing exact amount of antioxidants people need. I think over boosting your antioxidant level will simply make you poop your antioxidants out.

[@libraryofthemind]

I love pooping these days... not so much in the past.
