10 Foods That Scare Doctors | Dr. Neal Barnard | Exam Room Podcast

[@Sjc4738]

I’m convinced that most things touted as “local delicacies” around the world were developed during famines when “real” foods were unavailable and parents had to convince unwilling, but still starving, kids to eat something that’s otherwise unpalatable merely for the sake of getting calories in order to survive.

Oh my goodness, cracking up on this one! Never ceases to amaze me what us humans will do. Thank you all for doing this. Love you guys!!

I am glad that I live in a place I can be picky with my food. 😮

Soon you may have to get less picky. Hard times are coming.

Chucks face regarding the birds nest soup resembled my face lol😂. Only since going Vegan 10 yrs ago do I since know what I'm actually eating. Grateful I wasn't that stupid person that makes fun of Vegans, and instead, I listened, and my compassion saved my life

Very kind of you! 🙌

[@Me-wt6fs]

They still serve Octopus and Birds Nest Soup in the Chinese Restaurants. I remember eating the soup as a child just because the family ate it. I'm an adult now, and I do not eat any of that kind of stuff. I'm a Vegan. 💕🙏

[@LibraryTechAnna]

Happy to say, I have never had any of those things. Wow.

[@sheralschowe]

Can we get a transcript of this podcast? Such fascinating information!! Thank you!

[@chezsuzie]

Doctor forgot to talk about the “incredible, edible egg” which is basically a chicken’s menstruation! 🤢

[@11235Aodh]

Technically he did, the "birdsnest" is actually 2 chinese dishes. It's the birds nest in china, but it's an egg dish in European Chinese restaurants.

[@Twicebaked-j4m]

This scary topic should be an annual thing around Halloween. Perfect reminder of why we went vegan and part of the motivation to stick with it.

[@paulharrison5977]

I've been offered the fat of a hibernating toad mixed with sugar as a dessert in Asia, so glad I could say I'm vegetarian in their language(actually vegan)

[@cancersh]

Nice timing to bring up the seemingly normal "foods" as it is that we already have horrors in our daily lives right on the kitchen tables and in the supermarkets, it just got normalized. we don't need to "look for" any scarier stories if we dare to confront the reality. 😮😢

[@StanDupp6371]

What is scary is a bunch of Okinawa centenarians are still consuming goats head soup and sea snake soup. What would a doctor say about that?

[@susanweiler4948]

I lived in Okinawa & my grandparents are Okinawans. I remember goats & wild black pigs were consumed. After WW2 nothing was wasted on an animal.

[@StanDupp6371]

@@susanweiler4948 What about pork intestine soup did they have that too? Did they live a long time in good health? What about sweet potatoes did they like that food or it was just a tiny part of the diet?

[@susanweiler4948]

@@StanDupp6371 Plants are the main source of the Okinawan diet & animal protein are a smaller percentage. However, Okinawa’s island has increasingly become populated with the western fast food market. Sadly, Okinawa may no longer be the Blue Zone.

Love this episode!! Can someone share a low calorie, healthy vegan or bean burger recipe please? 💙

[@richyakuoko2360]

You can find a lot of recipes on KZbin.

[@richyakuoko2360]

Oh you said low calorie. Maybe you can still find it on KZbin or Google.

[@Hisloyalservantslistenlove613c]

Just mix beans and oats and chopped onions and some tomato sauce. Form into patties and bake.

[@kesauggie57]

1- 15.5 ounce can kidney beans drained and rinsed, 1- 15.5 ounce can of any beans you like drained and rinsed ( I alternated between black, pinto and cannellini), mash with potato masher, mix in 1 cup dry oats, 1 cup cooked whole grains ( I alternate between quinoa, millet and buckwheat), 4 tablespoons of any liquid that you like (catsup, crush tomato, salsa, bbq sauce, tomato sauce), 4 teaspoons of spices that you like (I use onion power, garlic powder, smoked paprika and turmeric), patty into 8 burgers, refrigerator for 15 minute to set and then bake, broil or fry. This is nutritionist Jeff Novick’s recipe and you may find a video on KZbin? I add diced onions and peppers to mine and broccoli sprouts when I have them. Enjoy!

[@Ranch-girl]

A whole show about rare foods that nobody in their right mind would eat anyway.

[@chezsuzie]

People eat Pecorino and fois gras all the time.

[@NancyCope]

@@chezsuzie what people? I've never even heart of it.

[@lidiaadobato7822]

Some of those foods were common in my childhood. I think I have eaten almost anything that was usual in an Italian family.

[@chezsuzie]

@@NancyCope Okay…you may not personally have heard of Pecorino and fois gras. My bad. Surely you and OP know people eat liver, oysters and grilled chicken. Those are not rare foods.

[@nsabo3143]

A delicacy in Asian culture, thank you very much. Do your research.

[@dreambuilder2756]

Side note: I’m giving out glow sticks for Halloween.

[@webstertyrrell9412]

I've seen bird's nest soup on the menu in Chinese restaurants in the US.

[@redhen689]

At the local annual fair they offer a milkshake with a frosted donut on top. The straw goes through hole in the donut and there are sprinkles, and I don’t remember all what else on top of that. It would cause my lipids and glucose to go through the roof!

[@nattogeorge1750]

Before I was vegan, my favorite cheese was maggot cheese from Spain called cabrales 👺. You could find it sometimes in stores with leaves covering it to help it get really rotten 😅

[@tayloranderson456]

Who was the guest you had a while ago talking about vegan philanthropy? I can't find the vid.

[@ronaldgarrison8478]

No mention of gutter oil, perhaps because it's mainly a Chinese thing? Might be good to know how to avoid it if you're over there. And is it an issue in other Asian countries?

[@extropiantranshuman]

hey - I'll look for a followup video of the weirdest (in an awesome way) - vegan foods!

[@paigehowey2549]

Thank God I'm vegan

[@extropiantranshuman]

my bad about the civet coffee - I thought you and Dr. B. were consuming it - I totally misheard it. Yes - civet coffee is the grossest I've ever heard! Can't believe anyone actually consumes that!

[@juliaparry-hill7509]

Please get a new microphone for Dr. Barnard. The sound was terrible from his microphone-- very annoying sound!

[@pattyearthmidget553]

No more pecorino for me! I think I'm going to be sick

[@ronaldgarrison8478]

Another good thing to talk about would be prion diseases, and how they might be transmitted from animals. Maybe already covered in another video? (I'm new here.)

[@debbiefodor7088]

I couldn't finish this episode - too gross. I very much appreciate the information shared on this channel though.

[@michaelworsham2724]

Glad I already ate before listening to all the gross foods that are still eaten.

[@daviddad1234]

E. coli can come from meat if raw or very undercooked but most seem to come from plants and vegetables. McDonald’s E. coli outbreak seems to come from onions on the quarter pounder. Some of these foods to stay away from are delicacies in other countries. We are spoiled with the over abundance of food in our country. We don’t know what it’s like to be in a famine.

[@ronaldgarrison8478]

Before clicking on this, I thought: This must either be about things that are really bad for long-term health, maybe fried Twinkies or something like that, OR…what it indeed turned out to be. Am I glad it is? Well, I'm skieved out, then skieved again and again. But at least not bored. The other possibility I mentioned, the long-term, would have been just boring.

[@angelahill3556]

Dr Barnard sure picked some nasty ones. Thank God I eat whole food plant-based. The looks on Chuck's face crack me up.

[@insomnolant6043]

Awful sound quality. Unlistenable on earbuds.

[@shannonrolfes5171]

I'm horrified!

[@ronaldgarrison8478]

If you listen to the rhetoric of anti-civ thinkers, even though I disagree 100% with almost everything they say, it may well be that they are at least correct when they say that domesticating animals was really the original sin. By "domesticating" I suppose I'd lump in most any form of animal agriculture, probably even including skins for clothing, and other things. I think truly advanced technology will, in many ways, bring us almost back to where we started, in regard to no longer appropriating animals for food and other purposes.

[@ronaldgarrison8478]

If you're going to talk about any vision of modernity, any scenario for progress, you MUST include radical changes in how we deal with food. There are hideous things that are common in every corner of the Globe.

[@pattiannepascual]

Would be great if you could stick to fast food,processed boxed, canned,frozen foods here in USA. Most people i know think "cooking" means warming up all this junk from the supermarket. Also focus on serving portions.I know guys who consume 2lb steaks in one sitting, thinking it's perfectly normal. The average American must be educated with shorter videos that address these issues. None will watch videos over 10-15 minutes i send them.

[@konradhunter1407]

What do you have against eating grasshoppers? Didn’t give any reason against it. Just close minded I guess.

[@robyncolless6016]

Sorry. I couldn't continue watching this. I'm not sure who your audience should be for this one, but I'm not part of it.

[@juliehoffman841]

I’m curious why this isn’t for you… Dr. Neil Barnard has changed millions of lives with a Whole Foods plant-based diet.

[@chezsuzie]

I’m here to be educated. The lesson here is, just because something has been labeled as a food by humans, doesn’t mean you should eat it.
