very interesting stuff, thank you Dr Greger, and to your team as well. 🙏

[@maureenk1635]

Thank you again for this organization. So valuable!!!!!

“It’s it hard to get from 90 to 100 as it is to get to 90 in the first place.” I fellow RuneScape player, I see.

[@voaneves]

I shouldn't understand that, but here I am 😅

[@nazokashii]

Fascinating! Thank you

[@SilverFan21k]

Ty for covering longevity Dr Greger ❤

[@paulcohen6727]

Another gene that may influence longevity: Many years ago I was diagnosed with Gilbert's "disease." But as it turns out, not only is it not considered to be a disease, but it increases a blood antioxidant, quite possibly extending life.

[@summer78946]

Oh yeah! It's pretty cool. It's actually quite popular for a "disease". You can get jaundice when stressed but apart from that, it’s all benefits

[@christinefournier685]

Can you cite a source I can search on this matter ? Thanks !

[@emmpolitis]

Really? I have the same condition. Please share the study that you found this information. Thanks

[@retropygmy]

Yes please! I’d love to learn more…my mothers family had it and I’m assuming I probably do as well (haven’t tested for it yet).

[@maiqueashworth]

Considering that good diet also runs in families, eg Okinawans presumably have some similar genes, I'd be interested to know how they teased out the purely genetic effects

[@AndrewPawley11]

I love this channel!

[@SuperSpesh1]

Interesting stuff; thanks Dr. Greger.

[@amybesack6108]

Thank you for this!

[@cocothenutthenut5401]

Great video!

[@Hyperion1040]

Is there any advantage for having this gene?

[@mikeb1085]

Maybe people in Africa with low blood cholesterol evolved this gene so their brain can get a good supply of cholesterol. Just like how fat retention genes are gold when living in primal times with possible food scarcity. Now in time of abundance, these once beneficial genes have turned harmful

[@eddydejagere3411]

Thanks.

[@WeCelebrateEatingPlants]

So great to see the Nigerians doing so well even with the fourth gene variant -- how long do they live?

[@joephillips5594]

Kale Yeah!!

[@Apoeprevention]

The realty diet plan for apoe4 is vegan not keto, isn'it?

[@jimr5855]

The story never changes... eat more plants.

[@vince7349]

If you want to look as Unhealthy as Greger than yes listen to his story eat more plants and no animal products

[@officialfreddyfox]

Is he unhealthy because of genetically poor eyesight and not much hair? He's obviously healthy enough to write complex books and run a large organisation. I don't eat animal's stuff and have good hair and eyes. I can also run a sub-3 hour marathon and do 50 pull-ups in a single set. Am I unhealthy? And, as a real man, I leave the animals in peace.

[@psiclops521]

Thank you for using the word "comprise" correctly.

[@bcda2248]

If this is true, that would be a new hope for human ✌️👍.

"May" be able to shuffle the deck through diet.

Horray

Interesting! If there's one thing I'd like to avoid it's Alzheimer's...

[@trevorregay9283]

Peter Attia is all over this subject as well.......as this has been connected with Alzheimers and dementia...........

[@trevorregay9283]

LOL!...just watched the video........and see they cover this comment........I will say though, its interesting about the Nigerians and if they come to this country they have better be careful that they don't change their diets as then we are going to have a bunch of demented Nigerians over running our nursing homes.......I do like the fact that its shown if you have this type of DNA that diet avoids future problems, but I'm still a believer that if you have good genetics for longevity the chances are pretty good you will outlive someone who doesn't regardless of your diet........thats not to say if you have good genetics and you are abusive to your body you will still live to be ancient, but how many accounts of some of these people living to be 100 or more and they still drink and smoke and seem to be immnune to getting a chronic health issue from it.............

[@erastvandoren]

Attia doesn't understand how diets work. Or, maybe, his financial ties to Virta make it impossible for him ))

[@metalguru5226]

Attia is fraud out to exploit ignorant people.

[@trevorregay9283]

@@erastvandoren I mean, I think he has a bit of a grasp on the subject matter although, not entirely sure what his stance on nutrition and if he is a proponent of veganism or not........of course, like you suggest, there could be some conflict of interest going on with him as well......

[@StanDupp6371]

@@trevorregay9283 Peter Attia eats up to 10 jerky meat sticks per day which is over 4000 mg of sodium so I hope he has good health insurance as he wrecks his health.

[@Mialuvsveggies]

Shockingly, my 93 yr old father has had a TERRIBLE diet his whole life. Heavy in meat & dairy, junk foods like chips & candy, and he’s still truckin’ along. It’s truly amazing.

[@harveywarne9030]

This flies in the face of the BMJ study showing elderly people with higher LDL live longer than those with a lower level.

[@DerekBarney]

That’s interesting. Can you share that study, I’d like to read it.

[@HvdHaghen]

@@DerekBarney search for the pdf "Blood biomarker profiles and exceptional longevity: comparison of centenarians and non-centenarians in a 35-year follow-up of the Swedish AMORIS cohort"

[@HvdHaghen]

@@DerekBarney I think with the BMJ study this is meant: " Association between low density lipoprotein and all cause and cause specific mortality in Denmark: prospective cohort study:"

[@StanDupp6371]

@@HvdHaghen The Denmark study said the lowest all cause mortality was an LDL of 140 mg/dL which in the USA would be considered high. Maybe that is why when Trump got his public 2018 health report he had an LDL of 143 mg/dL and he has never had any health problems. Like Dr. McDougall says it's the food.

[@erastvandoren]

Reverse causation

Do you STILL support people getting the C vaccine? You still won’t disclose that you got it although before it was released you said you would. I’ve been waiting. As I always believed, you told others to get it, but I don’t believe you did.
