@Betty Amber My digestion is fine. Haven't seen a doctor since 1986. I had to cut down on my protein. I have read several articles that would substantiate needing more protein as we get older. I always get a sore lower back if I have too much protein. After experimenting several times on myself, I was able to eliminate the problem by eating very little protein for just one day. The problem turned out to be my kidneys. I'm convinced we eat way too much protein. I do fine with 60 to 70 gms a day. As a lifelong athlete I used to eat 125 gms a day or more. My kidneys can't handle that much at my age. Also drink a lot of water.

I am a conservative who has been on a WFPB diet since Dr. John Mcdougal persuaded me back on the 90’s. I do not call myself a ‘vegan’. Veganism is a political ideology that, among other issues, disapproves of Animal Husbandry and vegans dovetail their lifestyle accordantly. You can claim to be a vegan and eat sugary soda pop and greasy potato chips all day. It has nothing directly to do with health. I respect Dr. Greger’s data driven approach to health and avoiding the political statements to reach as many people with a health centered message.
@VeganLinked2 жыл бұрын
You're confused. See, vegan and even any based have been high jacked by corporations selling "vegan" or "plant based" products. This has literally nothing to with veganism. Veganism is a philosophy, it is bigger than diet. It is to not exploit animals, to not hurt animals. This includes welfarism that approaches husbandry. This includes human animals and therefore what is healthiest for humans. This is why I became an advocate, because I realized it is healthiest to be vegan. Just as someone can do vegan wrong and unhealthy they can also do WFPB all wrong and unhealthy. WFPB is merely descriptive and not even thorough or precise. I say a whole plant food exclusive diet of legumes, greens, grains, fruits, veggies, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices and a variety of each. And even still that needs further qualification. But whole plant foods are absolutely the most vegan because not only are they healthiest for the human animal, they are the healthiest for all life on the planet because they require the least processing, resources, and highly invasive packaging. The concept of a whole plant food diet was coined 40 years after vegan. WFPB is just helping define how to be vegan, how to best practice the philosophy when talking about food. This is why I have so many wfpb doctors on my channel and started out with that being the goal and premise. Veganism is not a political ideology, it is based on tangible facts and living in line with our values, arguing against it is arguing toward hurting others.

Which was, unfortunately, miss represented. Skewed might be more precise. As to why I prefer animal products. After 5 years. I can list both benefits and blood work. Though I understand it's likely difficult to believe. I've done a personal comparison to a plant based. I understand that is N of 1 or personal experience. However, there are thousands, if not more. Similar stories on the carnivore message boards and the like. I think I it's enough that it should at least be studied more in depth. As to hurting animals, I'm very much against factory farming. That being said, animals eat other animals. Humans are animals. Also, they very likely evolved on a mostly carnivorous diet.

Again, my views are subject to change. There is clear discrepancies in the data. Otherwise, a concise and irrefutable conclusion would be publicly available. Which it is not. Drawing conclusions and entrenching one's self in ideological dogma is one of the pitfalls of the propaganda that exists.

This is not an essential nutrient that is required exogenously. We produce all we need endogenously just like other animals do. It's kind of like you don't eat eyeballs to have good eyesight, you don't eat brains to have a healthy brain, you don't eat hearts to have a healthy heart, you don't eat penises to stave off erectile dysfunction. We are not this inferior creature that requires consuming other creatures to create our own being. Plenty of extremely long-term vegans, vegans from birth, and even multi-generational vegans demonstrate this precisely.

The only supplement we take that seems absolutely required is B12 and that's just because we have such sanitary lives. And even the animals people eat are being supplemented with this and even non-vegans should highly consider supplementing this because most people that are deficient aren't even vegan. And as we age we lose intrinsic factor making it even more difficult regardless of our diet. Another important nutrient might be vitamin D because people tend to not get enough sunshine. You can also get this from mushrooms that have been exposed to enough sunlight. And some may supplement fatty acids, iodine, zinc, etc and very small doses to make sure they get a consistent amount of these things because we live such hectic lifestyles but this is not unique to being on a whole food plant-based diet. The supplement industry is held up by non-vegans not vegans.

There are endless varieties of eating styles that can be vegan. So, support and respect makes sense when behaviors are consistent with values. Sure, we can support and respect your decision to eat raw vegan, cooked vegan, keto vegan, whatever, but as far as respecting someone's choice to hurt animals so they can ingest their body parts, organs, and secretions when they have healthier plant options available, I'm not sure how we're supposed to respect and support that. Sure, we support you reducing it as long as the goal is eliminating it as quickly as possible. I don't have any way of supporting or desire for respecting someone hurting animals and engaging in destructive behaviors like unsustainable and abusive animal agriculture. Because eating animals is completely unsustainable it inevitably results in CAFO's that are horrific. Slaughtering an animal is bad enough in and of itself, but because everyone can't eat wild caught happy until you have killed them hopefully as quickly as possible and hopefully not left their family and friends alone, CAFO's will have to be a part of your choice to eat animals. Because by you normalizing this violence you perpetuate the production of this source of energy. Plants are the most abundant and only non sentient, primary producers of energy. We support and respect you when you respect others, including animals, including my son's future on this planet ideally not being pushed to the brink of the 6th mass extinction, including your influence on others eating unhealthfully when they have healthier plant options.

Have you ever eaten a whole plant food exclusive diet? I'm sure the animals have a lot harder time dealing with being abused and slaughtered because you never learned how to eat properly.

@@iaindennis3321the resources that go into animal agriculture result in 20 times less food compared to plant agriculture. At the same time animal agriculture results in over 10 times the death, and it's intentional death also, and there's trillions more when you factor in aquatic life. You're ignoring the fact that it takes more than 10 times as many animals to be forced into existence that need to be housed, cared for, and fed, and that results in more crop deaths than the humans could ever even come close to with plant agriculture even if we doubled our population and everyone just ate plants. Animal agriculture is devastating on every level. Grass fed animals that you say you eat, 8 billion people can't eat that way, so what you're suggesting would destroy everything if everyone tried to eat like you do.

Already did, well, he was born before we went vegan. He was 6 when we went vegan. But the only thing we ate nonvegan prior to going vegan, when we are at home at least, was salmon. He grew up with no dairy, and his first 6 years he rarely ate meat, mostly when we went to family for the holidays. But that changed when we went vegan. We didn't control what he did outside the house but we stopped having allowing those things in the house. And we encouraged him to stay vegan outside the house. His friends were more supportive and curious than his extended family like grandparents. The grandparents still don't seem to get it. And they have heart disease and diabetes.

Somebody needs to tell Gil from Nutrition Made Simple to STOP suggesting like he did on one of his videos that there is LITTLE corruption in nutrional science!! Really!!!!!! Vegan Linked can we count on you to get him to reveal his reasons ? Such a shame as his chanel is not bad. I know Dr Greger doesn't address this explicitly in this video but addresses institutions that manipulate the science but he and others have done so in the past.
@VeganLinked2 жыл бұрын
Nutrition Made Simple has some potential but annoys me with his direction. Like building up hype for that low carb doctor to talk about ApoB, those videos resulted in not much in the way of meaningful. And that doctor just randomly decided he would go low carb for no significant reason. Gil didn't challenge anything, he just let him roll on through his platform pathetically. But I really like Gil (I'm assuming that's his name since you called him that). I think he has a lot of potential. I LOVE when he analyzes science, that's legit! I'm just rambling... anywho, I don't have a rapport with him but would love to. Is he vegan?

I am sure Gil knows there is corruption, but looking at it from a scientific endpoint, it shouldn't matter. Studies must be evaluated by their content and not by the source. Sometimes science on the other side is right.

@@VeganLinked Gil actually promotes plant based diets. This does not exlude low carb diets. These low carb diets include lots of vegetables (fiber, nutrients) and oils (fats) and avoid meat products. The doctor he invited was on such a diet, although not vegan. I think it was some kind of try to 'sneak' in plant based diets in. Most keto dieters were probably hurt there. Gil does not promote veganism, but healthy diets. A vegan diet might not really be the healthiest (adventist health study 2). I do like his scientific approach that is really unbiased, which might make some vegans frustrated when it doesn't show it is the only healthy diet or even the healthiest.

@@panes840 I got the impression most scientists know, not just Greger and his team. To say, I think you are seemingly putting down other scientists with this statement. Although Greger is on a whole different level with his activism - really commendable. What is the problem is actually what he stated in this video - lobies. The guidelines are playing some kind of politics how not to crash certain agricultural fields - try to hold economic stability. The reality however is that information about healthy diets should not be affected by it. It should probably be produced by some health institute, not the USDA. The sad part is, if people actually followed the current guidelines, it would be much better than it currently is. Seems like the majority doesn't read the guidelines and rather gets information from the media that is even more biased / lobied by the industries.

I skipped through because I am not interested in the harms of dairy since I don’t drink milk. I was waiting to hear more about why veggies are so superior to meat & fat. I was not convinced by what little evidence I heard. If you speak with any diabetic who is committed to keeping their glucose down and they will tell you carbs are the problem. Eating a politically motivated plant based diet is not low carb.unless you barely eat anything which would result in malnutrition. The title of his book is catchy but already a lie in itself.

I am a low carber and former diabetic myself. I also didn't see much evidence, but I'm always open to hearing about why vegan would be so great. There is a trend among low carbers to go all animal based (carnivore), but there are strong socio-economic reasons why that is not a good solution on a global scale. I get the impression that their 'evidence' is mostly based around associations between cholesterol and saturated fat and diseases. Note that the video simply states that plants don't contain cholesterol, even though they do contain phyto cholesterols which may be even worse.
