Rethinking Processed Foods | Dr. Neal Barnard Q&A | Exam Room Podcast

[@CompanionAnimals2011]

Heart sick about the loss of Dr. McDougall. Such a legend!😢😢😢

Rip Dr. John Mcdougall 🕊️

[@luluandmeow]

Exploiting animals is so evil and unnecessary, they're our brothers and sisters, intelligent, unique and with greater abilities than humans in many cases, endlessly fascinating and enriching. I feel privileged to share this planet with them.

[@kittybeck151]

I agree, except if we didn't raise them for food, they would probably not even exist, or not very many.

[@thecelticgiraffe]

Unbelievable to me that humans still think they are the most perfect creature. Obviously, most people never studied whales.

[@MultiStarQuantumCoaching]

Amen!

[@frompizzaaddicttovegan]

Such a good point Dr. Barnard. We tend to look at what other cultures do as cruel but are habituated to our own culture no matter how cruel it may be.

[@vaherlihy]

Dr B. That was a powerful presentation and shocking especially with the millions of cases of breast cancer in young women. Thank you for spreading your knowledge to the world. So appreciated.

[@luluandmeow]

I eat whole plant food and have maintained my slim weight easily for over 4 years now. Best thing ever.

[@sharonhall1909]

Always informative. Thanks so much. I hear what you're saying. I went vegetarian almost 50 years ago, vegan about 28 years ago, got away from the oil & sugar about 6 years ago. The hardest thing to let go of was the salt but I have conquered that one, too. My sadness comes from seeing my family & friends still consuming these processed foods. They are well aware of how I eat but they just won't commit to it.

[@kittybeck151]

I'm vegetarian & mostly vegan. Best diet ever. However, I believe in salt. Not refined salt, but unrefined (I like Himalayan pink salt, black salt). Our tears are salty. Our blood is sweet & salty. Our sweat is salty. We are salty beings. It also has something to do with our electrical cardio system. We need salt, just not too much. We should NOT go salt free! I also saw a video where if you have a stroke, the first thing the hospital does is give you an IV drip with saline because most people are salt deficient! (needs research - I wish Dr. Barnard would comment on this).

[@deva190]

Oh come on our bodies need sodium. Just don't use table salt.

[@deva190]

@@kittybeck151 100% agree. Going salt free will eventually land you in the hospital....or worse.

[@alysounmahoney]

Such an important theme. And along the same lines, there's the breeding of animals for characteristics far removed from their natural ancestors -- like hens that lay eggs daily vs monthly, or turkeys with breasts so large they can't stand up. And the routine use of antibiotics to promote growth and compensate for the unhealthy concentration of animals on factory farms.

[@deborahmandra2745]

When I was 8 or so my family took a road trip from Los Angles to Texas to visit realatives This great uncle Louis would buy out small ege ranches and then hire the original owners back to run the place and using the same name When we got there the former owner/current manager wanted to know if I would like a tour So the 14 year old son showed me the sights Other siblings couldn’t handle the stinch I can identify the horrors now that I had no language to use when I was 8 (now 72 with LOTS IF LANGUAGE SKILLS THANKS TO YOU ALL) One of the horrors I could identify was the amount of dead birds which had not been removed yet I later ran to my great uncle just to inform him about the 10 or so dead hens He let me ask as many questions as I wanted to What do you do with the dead chickens?? We gather them up and freeze them and then every week Campbell’s Soup comes to get them Ah … so there we have it ! Problem solved Having seen Mom make chicken vegetable soup from scratch many times my 8 year old brain was satisfied!! Been a vegan for 6 years

[@sheralschowe]

Such great information! Thank you so much for clear, honest, enlightening information. Truth exposed! Very grateful to you both for the Exam Room.

[@DianEnglish56]

Very informative. TY Chuck and Dr Barnard.

[@naftalibendavid]

It’s hard to hear when you’re still eating animals and their eggs and secretions. Do your best, but don’t wait! Take one step. One vegan meal. Then one more. You don’t need a new identity. Just be nice enough to yourself to eat food that is good for you.

[@MultiStarQuantumCoaching]

Thanks so much for continuing to so nicely educate us all about how chicken is in fact a "processed food! and for your continuing work in helping so many people to become more healthy and independent and all you are doing to make our world a better place!

[@Lotus-Leaves977]

This kind of scientific discussion is the best attractive way❤

[@CaroAbebe]

And what’s worst, the chicken’s breast becomes so large within almost no time, that their legs can’t carry them, they topple over… or else, they’re made to lay around 300 eggs per year, the calcium for the egg shells being taken from their own bones. Animals are factory farmed, but they’re also turned into factories themselves :( Poor chickens! 😢

[@deborahmandra2745]

We obtained two rescued turkeys from a small rescue sanctuary which had to fold We fell in love with these 2 big beasties as they hobbled on their pathetically twisted feet and legs. They had to hunch down about every ten steps to take the weight off

[@m.taylor]

Ducks are cruelly force fed to fatten them up so their livers can be harvested for luxury pates, and those same pates because of its addictive high fats and additives are consumed by people who in turn become overweight and unhealthy. Do you see the analogy? Only the people are not being force fed but are uncontrollably eating large amounts because of the addictive design of these types of foods.

[@lisaclausen8304]

It would be great if PCRM sent a correspondent to the “Manure Expo”, so that they could report back about the goings on there!! 🐓 🐄💩

[@kaoritakaseafricalink5309]

I was having dinner as I watched this. Instantly lost appetite.

[@extropiantranshuman]

this is really important - the wording - because Dr. B. wants us to consume as much variety as possible. People say if there's too many ingredients, it's overprocessed, but the foods we eat are going to be processed just to eat them - we take it off the plant and remove the dirt, etc. and then consume it. All of our food is processed, and the food that's desired is considered 'overprocessed' - so new terminology's definitely needed to avoid confusion over what's healthy and what's not. I feel 1 bad ingredient might not be considered 'overprocessed' or really a 'processed' food - like eating a coconut - but it's unhealthy nonetheless. I want to get away from the word 'processed' and I'm really glad the physician's committee is opening the dialogue on that!

[@k.h.6991]

Dr. B wants us to eat a large variety of whole plant foods, so we get a large variety of fiber into our gut. It's not about a large variety of chemical ingredients. So a salad is great. Corn chips with 10 ingredients, not so much.

[@extropiantranshuman]

@@k.h.6991 but plants are made of chemicals - so yes - it is - just how dr b wants. Unless you're talking synthesized chemicals. But there's water - if you want to get technical.

You will never convince someone on a meat dairy and eggs diet that it’s not good. They will defend it even though they KNOW ITS BAD. Vegan4life.

[@RoxinaSolerGamborena]

Great, as always. Just one thing, it would be more informative (convincing) seeing the original graphs, that I assume will have not only the averages ploted but also the variation e.g. confidence intervals, erro bars more conventional...to be asured diferences are significant

[@naftalibendavid]

Even an effect size would be nice. Good point.

[@rosanneleibhart9115]

Wow! Lots of novel way of thinking. Glad I don't go for beef, chicken etc

[@peggykey5570]

Very interesting!

[@robertsharpjr]

Is a grass fed only cow or a chicken raised to scratch for bugs , etc a “processed” food?

[@frompizzaaddicttovegan]

Fois gras should be banned globally immediately. Horrific cruelty. Cannot understand why anyone eats this.

[@suemiller4897]

Are steel cut oats better nutritionally? What’s the best to eat…, thanks

[@sharonobenland2603]

Talking about the process of raising meat for consumption should be talked about MUCH more...! The poo and hormones...going into all these animals and then into humans and being used as fertilizer on land used to raise vegetables and grains...and into our waterways. So much reason to buy organic when you can for whole food plant based.

[@rebeccaford4707]

foie gras reminds me of when I worked in a restaurant, where garlic butter and snails were escargot - ugh!

[@harmony4945]

Can you please explain how you got at potatoes containing more protein than eggs? In my research I found eggs to contain about 12 grams of protein per 100 grams and potatoes only 2 grams per 100 grams.

[@stankell3629]

I think he compared an(1) egg with a (1) potato, not per gram.?

[@stankell3629]

Just looked it up to be sure. Egg = 6.3 grams Large potato with skin= 7.45 grams.

[@joemcaverage8169]

@@stankell3629 Large egg: 12.6/100*73 = 9.2 g protein. Potato has 1.9 g protein per 100 g, so potato with same amount of protein would weigh 9.2/(1.9/100) = 484 g. That's a huge potato.

[@stankell3629]

@@joemcaverage8169 according to healthline a large egg is 50 grams/ 6.3 grams of protein. The quoted value of 7.45 grams for a potato would equal 7.45/1.9 x100 = 392 gram potato. Which one will better satisfy your hunger and provide valuable fiber to your diet?

[@leonieduplessis4467]

Yes Dr Barnard,what Chinese people not do and eat. !!!

[@Cat32215]

What do you eat when prepping for a colonoscopy when you are on a plant-based diet? That was the worst part for me because on a plant-based diet it's all fiber. It was terrible 🤢

I don't eat meat, so it doesn't affect me, but feeding cows chicken manure in Canada is banned.

☢️ The money making "opportunity" that certain industries are making from waste are also an opportunity to remind people here about the aluminium industry and their use of their byproduct waste, fluoride, as a money making (yet poisonous, but who cares, right ?) machine...

[@MetalBere]

[@sr-kt9ml]

I mostly agree with the doctor here but to say animals are biological factories and plants aren't is a pretty bad argument. Plants take sunlight, water and soil and turn that into food.

[@PenelopeS-u8h]

Thanks for the info, watching them grow every week until they grew by two cups is definitely satisfying, I went with what I commented about and after the first 20 days or so I went up by one cup! I simply go'ogled Mika Klopsworth's Breast Guide and now they’re fuller and firmer than I expected!

Had nothing on processed foods. What in the. I was going to hear if some of the vegan doctors will finally say no to pasta. alas. I got so much healthier when I switched pasta, tofu, salad, veggies and smoothies for : beans, pasta sauce, more variety of legumes, veggies, salad, more nuts and fruit. Otherwise I was looking like a "soy boy" as they say. It really is a thing. And there is a reason people say without meat you will be weak etc. Because processed plant foods are not health promoting. Yet all the cook books are full of it - even Fuhrman's....

[@OfficeSpaceRedStapler]

The pretend carnivores are not gonna like this video one bit.............

[@eless3543]

This podcast appears to be slanted toward favoring a plant based diet. Presumably people look at the labeling on plant based products and notice how much processing goes into making plants look and taste like meat. Also, an interesting article published 2023 "A short history of saturated fat: the making and unmaking of a scientific consensus" in Curr Opin Endocrinol Diabetes Obes. indicates saturated fat and cholesterol causing cvd is a myth (as many articles point out - sorry Ancel Keyes).

[@minkademko2335]

I have serious issues with the way this was presented. Condescending much? Animals are factories that change the plants they eat? So, what does that make us? And they poop? No, not MY pets! I eat mostly plants, and raise my own hens for eggs. Hey, plants are people, too. 😂

[@youdontsay2529]

This is really reaching.

[@minkademko2335]

There's nothing like a well kept private farm. Animals and plants living together in harmony are a natural symbiosis. And people are natural omnivores till their education gets in the way.

[@sportysbusiness]

Sorry, common sense isn't allowed on this channel :)

[@chefbus2537]

This man is manipulating you. Calling meat, eggs and milk processed? I personally refuse to eat commercial meat because of the way it is grown, haven't had foie gras since I was a culinary student 20 years ago. But to make a huge, big deal out of CAFOs feeding cows poop, something they are not supposed to eat. While ignoring the fact that plants LOVE to eat poop and are MEANT to eat poop. VEGANS EAT RECYCLED POOP!!!! So, how much saturated fat is in the corn fertilizer(poop) and sun light before the plant turns it into 14%? The plant is somehow NOT a biological factory?

[@stankell3629]

I see what you did there. I think that's what the kids call a "strawman argument". Plants don't "eat" poop.

[@chefbus2537]

@@stankell3629 You think it is a "strawman argument" because you refuse to see the truth. PLANTS GET NOURISHMENT FROM POOP!!!!!!! Deal with it.

@@minkademko2335 They are not on a proper diet if they are eating poop. They may seem healthy, but they are missing something in their food. Possibly animal protein? Do they get kibble? Dogs are scavengers and will eat what is necessary to survive when it is not readily available.
