Thank You Bullseye Bear for taking the time to summarize. I know you are trying to be helpful and I appreciate that, but please consider the following. Anybody can take a few seconds to do a Google search and find hundreds of lists on the topic, but why should they trust any particular one of them? Why should you trust mine? Knowledge is powerful, but random bits of data is not knowledge. The list itself without context is worthless. Understanding WHY the items are on the list is empowering. People today are busier than ever, and we love to take shortcuts, but health is not a topic where we want to take shortcuts. We only have one body so we need to understand a little bit about how it works and how our lifestyle is affecting our health. Our food and our environment has changed more in the last 50 years than in the last 50,000. That is why we need to understand how that impacts our health, and that takes just a little bit more than an itemized list. You only get as much out of something as you invest in it. When you immerse yourself in something, you grow. When you are fully present and focused while watching, when you process the information, when you analyze, contemplate and incorporate it, you become more. That is empowerment. When you skim, speed watch and look for bullet points, you may catch some tidbits and some sound bites here and there, but your understanding doesn't fundamentally change. You're still the same person. In a hurry, with a shallow understanding, trying to get to the next thing. I urge you to read some of the comments that speak about how the content on this channel has changed their lives. How medical doctors comment on my videos and say they learned more about health in 20-30 minutes than they did in all the years of medical school. When you take the time and give it the focus it deserves, your life can be transformed. You're worth it.

[@SatoshiHODL]

@@drekberg Absolutely! I don’t disagree at all, however, this wasn’t done to undermine anything, but rather to be helpful (to those viewers who want an option) for several reasons, most notably those who are at first sight unable to devote a half an hour or 20 minutes to these extensive videos at first site of your post. As I’m sure you’re aware, there are thousands and thousands of videos that have similar content that shouldn’t be held in as high a regard as your videos. This fact makes it sometimes very difficult to track and keep up with so numerous a library of content. Perhaps, as is my intention, your viewers would get a wonderful (and free) synopsis of what you are covering to stimulate them either returning to view your video in it’s entirety later, or whenever they are able to do so. I don’t think that limiting, manipulating, or somehow withholding this wonderful information is your true intent. Based on your time, efforts, and care of the information and research that you share, it seems that you would agree that guiding people to that information and encouraging them in multiple ways to digest, understand, and apply it is really the point to all of the work you’re doing. I, for one, appreciate you and your channel, but please don’t misrepresent or assume to know my reason or intent in my very small contribution to your channel that is actually a tremendous benefit to all who visit.

I love cabbage! I literally use cabbage almost daily. Last night I used it as noodles in my casserole. Put down your choice of meat & cheese, slices of cabbage on top of that, some seasonings, garlic, butter and cream. stick it in the oven to bake. Mix it up, top it with some cheese and bacon with a large side salad. I also added some roasted cauliflower and brussel sprouts on the side. Yum 😋 I've been doing keto and intermittent fasting for two and a half years and I have lost 195 lb and I've never been healthier. And a lot of it I owe to you. Thank you!

Your levelheaded approach to nutrition is why I am a subscriber and why I keep returning to your channel! While many other doctors on YT provide us with information, most of it is a decoy to sell us their books or whatever else they are promoting for profit. They are mostly commercials in disguise. You, on the other hand, go into such great detail and depth that it makes learning what's best very easy to understand. I'm less confused because of your ability to simplify so much research and data into bite-size chunks that are easily digestible. Plus, I have to say that your 'bed-side-manner' explaining things is well appreciated! Bravo to you and your wonderful approach to proper nutrition!

Hi Dr, as a farmer in South Africa, (southern hemisphere, winter rainfall) i disagree with the inclusion of brassicas in the Clean Fifteen, Cabbage and cauliflower in particular attract so many pests that are resistant to organic pesticides you have no choice but to nuke them with chemicals if you want to save your crop. We've discontinued production of these brassicas to avoid using the dangerous pesticides. Spinnach, cellery and potatoes need 0 pesticides in our experience. Maybe its a regional practice? Mushrooms may also not require pesticides, but they are known to absorb any heavy metals from the substrate, even radioactive ones! So make sure the producer is reputable... Thanks for the great vids, learnt alot from them!

Not sure if anybody has mentioned this in the comments yet. Mince or crush your garlic and onions, let them rest for 15 minutes before cooking or consumption. These actions break the cell walls combining alliin with the enzyme alliinase, which creates allicin and other beneficial compounds. 🌱

Same here. My dermatologist says anything to eat like meat is an inflammatory to the body. The Mediterranean diet is best. Psoriasis is an inflammatory disease

Hello Dr. Sten, thank you for sharing these life changing detailed videos to promote wellness.

I was wondering why teas were not mentioned on a video being affordable with low calories and said to have many healthy benefits.

I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life. I don't mind when people summarize the top 10 list, like two people did already in the first hour, but if people just look at the list instead of watching the whole video, they are totally missing the point. If you don't understand WHY the items are on the list, what makes this list different from any random list. We have become a culture of quick fixes, short attention spans and shallow understanding.

Great information about healthy vegetables. My favorite is Avocado which i ate everyday and comes cheap and abundant here in Davao City, Philippines. Technically avocado is a fruit, not a veggie. It contain healthy unsaturated fats which lowers undesirable LDL cholesterol. Every other week i picked the fruit situated in our farm.

[@fudan6262]

I was wondering what you thought about Squash. I was happy to see you include zucchini, and you have so many videos I'm not sure if any others have anything regarding Squash. Does Spaghetti Squash compare similarly to zucchini? I know butternut is pretty high in carbs, wasn't sure if that's a concern with Spaghetti Squash too. Either way, great video and great content generally.

[@lilpop6265]

Thank you Dr Stern, I am a big fan and this video is enlightening for me, as I eat smashed avocado and broccoli as a dip withe lettuce leaves as a kind of tacos. I season the dip with garlic, anion and tomatoes similar to guacamole and is just delicious.

I have a gallon of NON sugary homemade lemonade, a gallon of cinnamon/anise/cloves homemade tea in the fridge; hot chamomile tea, hot broth with lemon, water, coffee. I also have hard boiled eggs in the fridge handy in case i get hunger prangs. I am decently handling it very well, because i am taking it as personal project, as fun. Overall i am feeling great.

Thank you very much for another enriching and methodical video. Garlic gives me a stomach ache every time I try to eat a little bit of it. (Worst when fresh, but also when roasted or cooked) (It is interesting that the Hindus forbid eating garlic and onions, I do not know of a medical explanation for this prohibition.) I also have a problem with the nightshades fruits (tomatoes, peppers and eggplants). In retrospect, it turned out to me that they were responsible for leaky gut, as soon as I stopped eating nightshades, most of the symptoms disappeared. So I suggest being careful with the recommendation to eat nightshades.
