[@nomnomgamer9882]

Barnard and the physicians committee is a front for animal welfare, he lies and misrepresents studies. A vegan diet is deficient, unhealthy long term and can lead to permanent damage. Just look at that dry atrophied head sitting precariously on that pencil neck of his, and his sunken eye balls. Doesn’t look like his diet is working out for him.

[@whaleshark19]

I hope that you’ll find a way to open your mind. Compassion and health begin with what we put on our plates. The Earth cannot withstand our constant assaults and creating a vegan world is an exciting way forward. Our healthcare system would greatly benefit also as chronic diseases lessened. This is the vision which sustains me-I hope one day everyone will see the truth of it.

[@nomnomgamer9882]

@@whaleshark19 We should end factory farming. However all agriculture involves killing and is unsustainable. Veganism is extremely deficient, unnatural, unhealthy, and would result human extinction. The answer is in regenerative farming, locally grown nutrient dense ruminants replenish topsoil and ultimately require less killing, less transport and less pesticides and deforestation. The answer is in growing our animals sustainably and ethically, abolishing factory farming and feeding animals their natural diet. We are facultative carnivores, converting humans to an exclusively plant diet is impossible.

[@-ABC-]

@@nomnomgamer9882 *_"extremely deficient, unnatural, unhealthy"_* -> None of this is true, in fact it's the complete opposite. Until you provide actual research, your abhorrent claims are dismissed. After all the burden of proof is on you. We are omnivores, not "facultative carnivores" there is zero evidence of that over the evidence of our omnivorism. *Not a single carnivore on the planet* produces amylase, we produce it in our saliva. Amylase is an enzyme that starts the digestion of carbs, found in our mouth. We're also the only omnivore to have it in our mouth, and in the levels it is. Same for other primates. Humans can't pounce on an animal and rip into it. Even chimps, who have fangs and more strength still use tools when hunting.

With tofu, I've found that if you drain the liquid for about 15 minutes, pat it dry with a paper towel, then slice it up, put in a ziplock bag and put in the freezer for a day, the next day thaw it in the frig, and once thawed coat it in your sauce of choice, then coat it with panko, and if you have a air fryer, cook it at 400 for 15 minutes. The end result is a crispy and more meaty textured tofu, great in stews or stir fries or even on a sandwich.

Sprinkle low sodium soy on top of the cubes then place in the oven for at least 30 minutes. Take them out, eat as snack, put in a baggy, use for sandwiches, stir frys or whatever you like.

I would add flax and chai seed to this list. You can buy both in bulk at Costco or most bulk stores.

[@CarschA]

Your body must convert ALA to EPA and DHA before it can use it. This conversion isn't very efficient with flaxseeds as a source of omega-3 fats. Fish, seafood, which contains EPA and DHA is the best. The supplements are useless. Unless you're afraid of dead fishes, of course. ;)

[@kel5710]

Carsch A Depends on the person. Some people convert just fine, others don’t. I heard somewhere that the level at which our bodies efficiently convert is based on how much direct EPA/DHA is present in our diets. In other words, it’s likely our bodies eventually adapt accordingly. But if it’s still a concern, we can also get their Omegas via algae. It’s really not that hard. I do agree that fish in moderation can be a very healthy addition to ones diet, but I am not a fan of supporting the commercial fishing industry plus I’m also concerned about all the toxins found in fish. Nordic Naturals is the go-to brand for me but now I just get their algae based omegas. I am in support of truly wild-caught (many labels are false or misleading) including people catching their own which is what my 90 year old grandpa still does :)

Hi Dr. Barnard. I thought Brown rice was more healthy than white rice, until I learned that it contains a lot more Arsenic in it. Your thoughts and recommendations?

[@sunbeamred8175]

Rice is not all the same. Too many varieties available. Brown rice needs to be washed thoroughly (presumably to remove any arsenic) by rubbing the grains together with your fingers (same for white rice) atleast three times, changing the water each time. Then cook using fresh water. About two cups (or more) water for brown rice depending on the type and age of rice. Usually brown rice needs (two cups or more for one cup of dry rice) more water than white rice (about one and a half cups or more per cup of dry rice). The older the rice ie one year old rice the more water is needed. Older rice is valued more than newly harvested rice. People buy newly harvested rice and store it in dry and hygienic containers to age it. The preferred way of cooking is not to use too much water because when the rice is drained then a lot of nutrients are lost in the water. However, the water can be saved and drunk as a nutritious drink just add a pinch of salt and milk (plant based) and drink it hot. In fact this drink is made and offered to a sick person who needs nutrients when they can't digest food sometimes with a small amount of rice added to it. I think the word in English is 'congee'. Rice has been eaten for centuries and there is naturally occurring arsenic in the soil which is presumably found in the rice. A 'scientist' did some research and found arsenic in miniscule quantities in rice and decided to publish it sensationally and make rice the 'bad guy'. He probably hates eating rice! And the research applies to uncooked rice and not cooked rice as far as I'm aware. Anyway has anyone researched all grains, vegetables or other crops to see what other chemicals may be in there? Back to rice: Millions of people have been eating rice for centuries with no adverse effects, so presumably a wonderful grain to consume for good health. Here's to your good health.

Interesting video I’m an old guy now and my kidneys becoming weaker I have worked at eating healthier but it was determined that my potassium levels were extremely high and though I have been health conscious for a long time I had to do some serious changes to my diet which included cutting out completely or limiting a lot of foods o love to eat such as bananas, avocados, tomatoes, many canned foods such as beans, some vegetables, tomato based foods. I’m not vegan but I like many vegetables just more conscious about the potassium so many canned products are not for me. And ones that are are thoroughly rinsed. I have cut considerably meat products but still enjoy some and not as often. I’m the guy in a grocery store picking products and on my iPhone checking the potassium levels, LOL.
