Dr Robert Breakey: Vegan Forward since 1977!

[@aplantbasedwife]

Love this. I love that the plant based doctors seem to be gentle, calm and well spoken people. There is no aggression.. no attacking or making fun of people not following a plant based diet. I'm so grateful that these are my people lol! ❤❤❤

Thank you for this message. I also became vegetarian in 1977 as a result of reading Diet for a Small Planet and vegan in 2018 thanks to Dr McDougall. At 76, I am still able to compete in road races and do serious landscaping work. As Dr McDougall says, “It’s all about the food.”

I had a doctor who was 7th-Day Adventist as a child who helped me lose weight, even though he was a vegetarian most likely, he never let on. He was very healthy in his 70s and 80s. I just wish he had told me. It took me until my joints were giving out and was in a wheelchair with arthritis all over my body that I prayed and asked God what was wrong. I went and read Genesis and saw we were designed to eat a diet exclusively of plants and so began to eliminate things. First thing was to give up dairy as I had had a lot of trouble with digestion and constipation and thought dairy was the best thing to give up right away. Inside of 3 weeks most of my pain was relieved and I was walking around the house instead of wheeling along. Over a year I transitioned to full vegan. Even now, 10 years later at 69, no arthritis and rarely even get a cold, but my husband who would not even taste what I was preparing ended up with Stage 4 Prostate Cancer. He was only willing to do plant-based eating after his surgery. He is 6 years free of cancer and is very active. He wished he had followed my lead sooner as it might have mitigated his cancer. My doctor tells me that he wishes that his other patients would do what I do as my bloodwork looks better than when I was a teenager as even then I had high cholesterol as I loved cheese. My blood sugar A1C is 5.0, my BP is 119/57 and often even lower. My mother and sister both died from breast cancer and despite having mastectomies, both died horrific deaths. I have no sign of cancer but I also nursed 3 children 2.75 years each, when they say helps to avoid breast cancer. No more eczema or asthma, was even able to heal a broken ankle doing nothing except eating my usual kale and salads. I feel great and my sleep is the best I’ve had in my life. I did have to get rid of coffee as the caffeine bothered me. I drink herbal tea and love the one with ginger/turmeric/ginger and green tea. All caffeine free - and especially Good Earth Sweet and Spicy. Cinnamon helps to control blood sugar. But I loved it as is it delicious. At 69, I look younger than I did at 58 when arthritis was crippling me. I take NO MEDICATIONS! Am I ever tempted to go back and eat the SAD diet? NO!!!!!

[@tanyajohnson6511]

Great reply! Curious, what a typical day of eating looks like for you?

[@courag1]

@@tanyajohnson6511 I make Old Fashioned Oatmeal for breakfast to which I add about 2 Tbps of chopped walnuts or about the same of Chia Seeds or 1 Tblsp Ground Flaxseed. I will often add 1/2 to a whole apple grated (without the core, unpeeled). I sprinkle cinnamon (no sugar just the spice) liberally across the above mix. And serve with Vanilla Soy milk by Silk. I have no coffee but drink decaf tea such as a cup of Green Tea and a second cup of Good Earth Sweet and Spicy Tea. If I don’t feel like apple, I’ll cut a half of a banana and have strawberries or blueberries with this. If I snack between meals, I eat then steamed kale, which my husband grows in our backyard. I will either put Apple Cider Vinegar on it or Kraft Fat-Free salad dressing. Or I will eat with some Spanish olives just for flavor. Lunch is often a burrito made from homemade Pinto beans. Sometimes I add some vegan cheese shred. When I make the beans, I add some Mrs. Dash salt-free seasoning for Tacos. (I make fresh salsa of 2 chopped Roma Tomatoes, some yellow AND Bermuda (red) onion, chopped, 1/4 of red and green bell peppers, chopped, chopped cilantro, some chopped and pickled Peppercinis, a few chopped green Spanish olives, 3 cloves of fresh garlic in a garlic press, fresh lemon and or lime juice, Lite-Salt to taste my Mortons, fresh ground black pepper and standard ground black pepper, 1 Tbsp granulated sugar.)This keeps well in the refrigerator. Sometimes I add a chopped Boca burger to the burrito. I make enough of the mixture and it lasts a few days. To the Pinto bean mixture. I do use a hand-held stick blender on the beans but don’t put the vegan meat in until after I blend. With the burrito I will have some rice on the side or even in the burrito or with some garlic mashed potatoes mixed in, is good too. I put the prepared burrito in my Cuissinart Griddler so to cook it on both sides, this keeps the burrito together. I don’t use a large burrito skin but if I make also for my husband, I may then cut it in half. We will have a small salad with this of mixed greens. I will get a salad mix sometimes to make it easier. I drink a Bigelow Peach tea and a Bigelow Turmeric/Ginger/Peach tea as iced tea. I drink this all day to stay hydrated. If I snack, I’ll share a half of a big white peach or some cantelope with my husband or other fruit on hand. Dinner is usually half a plate of rice or a baked potato with no butter but I’ll grill some onions dry frying them with some fresh mushrooms to top the potato, moisten with some fat-free Italian dressing. The main dish will often be grilled extra firm tofu grilled with Bragg’s Liquid Aminos or Soy Sauce, the tofu is cut in strips and then I sprinkle Mrs. Dash Salt-free Chicken seasoning, garlic ground spice, seasoned pepper. And steamed fresh vegetables which usually include broccoli, carrots, zucchini, sometimes cauliflower. We also may snack on some nuts after dinner such as Planter’s Deluxe Nut mix. I tend to count the nuts so I don’t eat too many. I often make a stir-fry in my wok at least once a week. If we eat out we do lunch at Olive Garden and get the minestrone soup and salad without any cheese. You can lose weight on what I eat in a day with portion control and leaving the vegan cheese out. I also try to take a daily walk or I will spend a half an hour doing yoga stretches. Hope this helps you. There are many good ideas for how to cook vegan on KZbin also. Note, variety is key as you can vary what we eat very easily.

Hey there, Dr. Bob! I didn't know that you'd shifted your practice toward lifestyle management (I left Ann Arbor in 1998. Our Julias studied tap together.) In recent decades I thought I was being a good convert to the paleo diet, not understanding it was in fact going in the wrong direction for me - always hungry, always trying harder, always gaining weight. After a number of adverse life events culminated in a cascade of health problems that my doctor thought was normal aging (!!), I have now changed to whole food/vegan/no SOS, and am making great progress. Not only is this progress physical, but also mental and emotional. I'm very impressed and glad my ears were opened to this guidance. I look forward to sharing this helpful teaching video.

Great talk! Wish more doctors were courageous enough to tell their patients : Food is everything! One man's food is not another man's poison. The right food: A carb based WFP diet, with less salt and oil is every human's diet. I n India people still worship milk and it's products for calcium and stuff! What a shame! My father, Retired Air Marshal P V Iyer, 92 years of age has just written a book: Fit at any age. It is available for pre-order on Amazon. I turned vegan from vegetarian in Oct, 2021 thanks to a lecture by Doctor John McDougall praising rice and potatoes!

[@natureasintended]

Dr McDougall explains that prior to Westernisation, in rural areas away from the towns, peasant food was plant food. "I was invited recently to talk about the possible role of diet and MS and other neurologic disorders at a national neurologic conference in Mumbai, India and I got to know the mammoth challenge that neurologists in India are facing as they try to tackle the “tip of the iceberg”: non-communicable diseases especially stroke. With its rapid modernization in the last 30 years, India has also witnessed a rapid increase in the preventable diseases such as diabetes, high blood lipids, obesity, hypertension, and heart disease. India harbors the world’s largest population of diabetes (more than 62 million people in 2011). The sheer knowledge of the burden of disability and death from potentially preventable diseases such as stroke was appalling to me. The number of people who suffer from stroke is much higher in the urban areas (334-424/100,000 people) but even the rural are affected not insignificantly (84-262/100,000 people). The number of people dying as a result of stroke can reach as high as 40% in some areas of India. Talking to some of the top neurologists of India, it appeared that this disease is getting out of control of the medical system in India. What was more striking to me was the lack of knowledge among the physicians about the critical role of diet in the treatment of these diseases www.drmcdougall.com/newsletters/results-of-the-diet-multiple-sclerosis-study/

[@indirajayaraman4758]

Nice to see your reply. Hope Indian doctors change their view on diet, especially when doctors like you address them.

You're doing well great job bro!! Underrated channel for sure!! Just one question...in a prior video it seemed like you have something against spinach...I may be wrong, but if you do I'd like to know because its a small part of my diet.

[@VeganLinked]

@@JB-id4hd thanks and great question. Spinach is super healthy. It's just like the highest oxalate food. Baby leaves are lowest and cooking them reduces it. But this is most likely not a problem unless all you ate was spinach. I have a friend that is anemic, she's vegan but she was anemic before that due to excessive bleeding. We found out she was doing a lot of things wrong. Intuitively she thought spinach is a great source of iron. She was also drinking a lot of green tea close to meal times which have tannins. Tannins and oxalates prevent absorption of iron. That coupled with not diversifying her greens and not doing things to increase absorption like citrus or vinegar seemed to exacerbate her condition. This of course may not be a big deal for men. Excess iron, especially heme-iron from animal, oxidizes and is inflammatory. But this issue for women could be common. Spinach is awesome in moderation. Like Dr Barnard says all healthy things in moderation. And variety is ideal for a healthy microbiome. I eat raw spinach from time to time with my romaine, arugula, butter lettuce, red leaf, etc. I'm not worried about eating just spinach sometimes like in a wrap or whatever but I rarely do so I won't make a habit of it. If you ate a lot of spinach all the time it could increase the risk of kidney stones also... again, spinach is legit awesome in moderation with variety of other greens, beans, etc. ❤

[@JB-id4hd]

Wow, I didn't know all that! I definitely don't think I'm eating enough to cause a problem. I do kale smoothies and a mixed green salad. Man you're doing all these interviews, you need someone to interview you as well!! Seems like you have a lot of valuable info. Keep up the good work bro, I really enjoy your channel. U asked a lady this on a prior video....I want to to know your answer as well. As far as dating or friends...do you think it's a good idea to pick ones that DONT adhere to this way of eating?

Hope this is true. Lot's of people out there stating a plant based or vegan diet isn't nutritionally complete. Thanks Dr. Berkey. However, why have my triglycerides gone up on a plant based diet?

[@VeganLinked]

Triglycerides could be going up for all kinds of reasons. If you're trying to be healthy then you really need to be considering not just nutrition but also things like sleep, exercise, stress management, social support, not doing drugs, etc. If you have questions then you need to consult with a professional. Perhaps consider someone who practices lifestyle medicine for a comprehensive opinion. Diet is important and nuanced. It's important not to over generalize and just assume plant-based is either right or wrong when plant-based can mean so many things. A well-planned vegan diet has been shown to be healthy and appropriate for every stage of life. It also seems to be protective against many chronic diseases. But life will nonetheless still invariably result in disease for some no matter what they do but it's always most ideal to do the best you can with all of these pillars.

[@VeganLinked]

But my personal layman go to thought is like of exercise. Brian Johnson for example, who spends $2 million dollars a year on analyzing his body and optimizing his lifestyle and happens to also be vegan, exercises, gets good sleep, etc but also stays in a caloric deficit. If you are in a caloric surplus and over-consuming then your triglycerides could very well be going up because you're not essentially burning off those excess calories. But again I don't really know without knowing everything else about you and consulting a professional, by then you would know.

[@bradstell2146]

Thank you for replying. Vegan, or plant based five years. Very active. No medications or drugs. A little red wine with dinner occasionally. Following Doug Graham's diet which is high fruit content. Can high fruit raise triglycerides?@@VeganLinked

Thanks. Brian Johnson is twenty years younger than me. My caloric consumption is not over my needs I believe. After going vegan or plant based, family and friends have noticed and commented on my thinness. Thanks again. @@VeganLinked

[@VeganLinked]

@@bradstell2146 You're only getting bits and pieces of what I'm saying. The core of what I'm saying is consult a professional and consider someone who practices lifestyle medicine. Try not to over generalize or self-diagnose, it could be many things and I only elaborated on one possibility. I didn't say you were overweight. And just because others may say your thin, this really doesn't mean anything people tell my wife and I that we are thin but typically those are very overweight people. So I don't know what you mean when you say plant-based I don't know what you mean when others say you're thin I don't know what you mean when you say you have triglycerides because these things require further analysis. Someone's age is of no relevance to the reason why I brought them up. Just consult a professional ideally someone who practices lifestyle medicine.

I personally believe eating more ancient foods, like tiger nuts - is more suitable to our bodies. Also uncultivated food is going to, for the most part, be more favorable - as farmers tend to breed out taste and nutrition for longer shelf lives and easier packaging. The issue is that these foods are more solid - so they're harder on our bodies than berries (for example) that can just fall apart in your hand.

@@ejRecording they excite water molecules. Anytime you heat anything you have the potential to destroy water soluble nutrients and enzymes. That's why raw is best. But really, microwaving is actually better than a lot of cooking methods. Like any other method, as long as you don't overheat things. Dr. Greger has some videos on it.

[@ejRecording]

@@VeganLinked sorry but it near instantly destroys the food vs low heat cooking, GDV does not lie I can send you the pdf somehow, I’ll rewatch the gregger vid pretty sure I’ve seen it but… I posted a key slide from the pdf with a link to it on my KZbin as a community post Also here’s a bit of text from it -American researcher William Kepp gathered results from Russian and German research on microwave cooking. He noticed that they found an increase of cancerous cells in blood after ingestion of microwaved foods. Also they mentioned ʻsignificant lossesʼ in the nutrient value of the food cooked in microwaves.

​@Dunford00 sorry but if your only reference is a pdf you have, and some "Russian research" done in the 70', that's not very solid evidence. It's like climat change deniers who say they have studies proving their point: When there 1% research is going against 99% of the research, its not worth much, even if it exists.

Is eating peanut butter with NO PALM OIL, SUGAR OR SALT ALLOWED?

[@berlinangel987]

I do, since it has a lot of protein. Some sources say best to avoid roasted nuts, because of the formation of acrylamide, a harmful substance created through the heat when roasting. But peanut butter from unroasted nuts is hard to come by. I found a French brand selling unroasted products, "Perl'Amande".

[@annemccarron2281]

Peanut butter is great if you can tolerate the extra calories from the fat.

[@extropiantranshuman]

I personally believe you can get healthier than WFPB by eating veganically grown food (which happens if you grow your own). I think aeroponic-algaeponically grown food is ideal. I think microbes beat out plants in some ways - because they don't have specialized plant parts that have its own toxins and aren't as nutritious! It's a lot of waste - very wasteful. If we grow food that has less waste - where you can eat the entire plant - that's more ideal - as you don't have to worry about growing toxins! Beets and radishes vs vanilla and tomatoes. Lower in water consumption too. I think it's nice to grow food that is perennial and evergreen - so you don't have to deal with dead plant matter - which when a plant dies - that's where diseases like mold lurk.

[@extropiantranshuman]

we would also want to avoid pathogen-inducing foods - like peanuts and aflatoxin.

[@VeganLinked]

Aflatoxins are more of a problem in developing countries. Diversifying the diet is sufficient.

42:52 the graph showed processed foods being majority of the problem for the SAD diet. Why are they focused on Meat? Veggies can be processed also with SUGAR

[@VeganLinked]

All processed foods are less healthy than whole plant foods. When someone eats an animal they are also eating something processed. The animal acquired their nutrients from plants and their body/DNA processed those plants for that animal's specific body's need. Eating whole plant foods exclusively is the most protective against chronic disease. Processed foods (including animals) is a risk factor.

[@VeganLinked]

Clearly there is no need to eat animals so why consume body parts, organs, and secretions when it isn't necessary, they're unsustainable to consume so they inevitably end up in horrific abusive concentrated animal feeding operations. Why eat animals?

[@barbarabruce7648]

What!!!! I have never seen a growing carrot, lettuce, avocado, strawberry or apple growing with a layer of sugar on top. Every fruit and vegetable that I have bought from the green grocer, super market or in my garden have been whole food. Are you talking about fruit loops and fruity roll ups? Come on.

[@annemccarron2281]

Meat is a carcinogen due to its inflammatory markers. Processed foods destroy or remove many nutrients. They also contain artificial colors, preservatives, flavors that can also be carcinogenic.

[@extropiantranshuman]

great food list - but I'd skip the hot peppers - as capsaicin - while they say it's a painkiller - it has too many side effects from inflammation to ulcers and cause pain more than kill it. I eat papalo and it works like capsaicin but without the side effects.

[@VeganLinked]

There's nothing wrong with hot peppers. Seriously kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3vKdZuIgrBkmKM

@@VeganLinked I can't eat them outside of paprika - I get swelling where I can't breathe well. So I avoid them. We're all different, but it just is.

[@VeganLinked]

@@extropiantranshuman Sure, some of us are allergic to some things but we can all be vegan because there's plenty of plants to choose from. And allergies may change over time. But just because you're allergic to peppers doesn't mean they aren't healthy ♥

[@extropiantranshuman]

@@VeganLinked being a person that has many food sensitivities - those that are sensitive are risking their life of potential contamination. So if they truly have bad allergies to plants - I don't recommend a plant-based diet for them. I really resented those that pressured me to go vegetarian and vegan too early - as I was sick from allergies for years and no one who pushed me into the diet cared about me living or dying nor paid for any cost - as they're not a medical expert. No person that's not a medical expert should ever tell anyone to do anything with their health - because they're not going to be around for the consequences and won't fix them. I would never want what I went through on anyone - and I hope it doesn't happen again. If people can't be vegan - then it's important to wait until they are able to. Also we don't need to risk our health to go in a vegan direction - we can just fund organizations for those who can and want to go vegan - as it's them that'll make up for others who can't. My allergies haven't changed - they've stayed the same and unfortunately I have so many I just don't know all of them. Yes it does mean they aren't healthy, but it doesn't mean they don't have health benefits to some people.

[@natureasintended]

@@extropiantranshuman I hear your distress. I just watched this video, by plant-based rheumatologist Dr Yu who explains that rheumatologists like him can help to find the source of autoimmune-type responses despite a healthy, plant-based diet. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGfUaH-Dj6ZkorM

[@extropiantranshuman]

we can do better than WFPB - we can help others go that route - so that we can avoid pathogens from animals coming into our food - like how salmonella from animal farms entering tomatoes to contaminate them and all the other tomatoes when slicing.

[@VeganLinked]

I think what you mean to say is we need to move toward viganic farming. I have videos coming on this later. But right now there are plenty of healthy plant options for people, we need to just get them away from eating animals

[@extropiantranshuman]

@@VeganLinked yes as mic the vegan said - once the world goes vegan, then we can work on doing better after that.

I don't know who you're talking about. Clearly all of the vegans on my channel are doing great and have been for many, many decades, some their entire life and some many generations. Do you even know any vegans?

[@VeganLinked]

[@anir8023]

@@VeganLinked personally ? No . But out there r so many interviews with ex vegans who been eating plantbased for 10-12 years and they’ve sacrificed their own health for ethical reasons and now recovering on carnivore diet. I don’t know why it’s happening perhaps it doesn’t work for all .

[@VeganLinked]

@@anir8023 Of course there are X vegans just like there's X everything in life. Failure is a part of doing anything meaningful. The most successful people have the capacity for applied failure. Research has found that over 60% of people quit being vegan because they don't like being different than other people. Another significant proportion of vegans quit because of a significant other not being vegan. Doctor Fuhrman says that you have to be a leader to do this otherwise you end up following what everyone else is doing. People who really go vegan for the pure ethical stance are able to endure whatever difficulties may arise and overcome those for the sake of the animals, being most sustainable, and their own health. People fail often at trying to quit doing drugs, that doesn't mean quitting drugs is a bad thing it just means it's hard to change. There really isn't that many vegan failures compared to how many vegan successes and how many keto, carnivore, paleo, Atkins, weight watchers, omnivore failures there are. Obviously there wouldn't be so many meat based spins if any one of them were truly effective long term. As you can see across my channel with my existing interviews and the many more I have to come vegan is very effective for the long term and lifelong like the largest organization of nutritionist and dieticians states it's healthy and appropriate for every stage of life. Veganism is not a diet though. And when someone treats it only that way they're not doing it for the animals so it's easy to just start eating animals again.

[@VeganLinked]

@@anir8023 Now if someone was vegan for 10 plus years and their health declined they probably didn't know how to eat properly. Imagine doing something completely wrong your entire life and then deciding one day you're going to go vegan for ethical reasons. You don't just magically know how to suddenly eat. When I went vegan for ethical reasons all I did was stop eating animals and their secretions but I already was vegan forward for a long time before that and enjoyed eating beans, grains, and a little greens. But it wasn't until 5 or 6 years later that I learned how to Eat more healthfully And Diversify my diet properly and eating times even. I don't know who these people are that you're talking about but the ones that I have watched and there was only a few that I've seen out there they didn't stick to a simple whole plant food diet they were yo yo dieting and doing all kinds of weird illogical things and never sought advice from a qualified nutritionist or dietician or somebody even better with credentials in lifestyle medicine. Instead they did armchair research which will send you down a crazy rabbit hole. Or they sought advice from someone that eats animals.. But they could have been gluten intolerant or had an allergy to one particular food there's all kinds of things that could go wrong or they could simply not be eating enough calories or the right variety. It's real simple once you figure it out but getting to that point might be difficult for some people especially if they are busy and around the wrong people. Or if all they do is stop eating animals and they also weren't eating very healthy beyond that then all they are left with are processed foods. It's really easy to get into processed foods and that could be another reason why they failed.

What do you say about the effectiveness of a carnivore diet?

[@VeganLinked]

There is no evidence that it has Long term efficacy for optimum health span. There is 0 science on it, only anecdotes. Meanwhile there thousands of studies showing meat is a risk factor and eating plants Is protective against chronic disease. When I interviewed a phD nutrition a few days ago she called the carnivore diet and elimination diet. Sure if you eliminate sodas and processed foods you'll get transient results.

[@VeganLinked]

Not is there is ZERO science supporting the anecdotes in the carnivore movement and no legit doctors or researchers supporting it. Meanwhile there's thousands of science and research showing the health benefits of plants. The doctors supporting the plant based movement have many decades of relevant clinical experience evidencing the efficacy of eating plants exclusive which is consistent with the totality of evidence such as leading health organizations and science. Considering that the overwhelming majority of people have been conditioned to unhealthy comfort foods of course they want to hear and good news about their bad habits and bad news about good habits. The doctors pushing the carnivore movement have no relevant clinical experience or education and even if they started to they would be over a half a century behind the plant based doctors. There is no carnivore equivalent to the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, NutritionFacts, American College of Lifestyle Medicine, Rochester Institute, Hippocrates Wellness, TrueNorth, etc... there is no support from the largest healthcare industries like Kaiser in the country for carnivore yet they completely support eating plants exclusively and they of course benefit significantly from healthy customers, the largest organization of nutritionist and dietitians in the world says a vegan diet is healthy and appropriate for every stage of life but they don't say that about carnivore, the WHO found that eating meat is a class one and two carcinogen, I could go on. There isn't even a carnivore channel with as many legit testimonials and significant doctors as mine. Even if they could prove that eating animals exclusively was ideal for optimum health span and lifespan as well then you would have a choice, so why choose the least sustainable and completely unnecessary and therefore most violent grotesque option? But, they can't even prove that. All their doing is a "elimination diet" that gets transient results with very risky long term consequences both for the individual consumer as well as the animals and the planet. So why would you choose to hurt animals for no reason? Clearly plant exclusive is an option. Do you want to foster a violent future of slaughterhouses or peaceful world of food forests and gardens that support ecosystems and build a beautiful world of diversity?
