Been wfpb for 2.5 years. Reversed between my husband, daughter and I so many lifestyle illnesses including fatty liver, pcos, migraines, obesity, fibro, irregular sleep, menstrual issues, the list goes on.. We thought feeling like crap was 'normal'. I've educated many in addition to being living proof this is the best way to eat for human beings but the addiction to the S.A.D. diet is strong in the dairy state of Wisconsin. The simple act of passing along a video such as this or a wfpb recipe gets me treated like a criminal. We don't talk about it much anymore, rather just enjoy our lives. Even then there's been times the simple act of not putting butter on our mashed potatoes makes the person next to us doing it feel offended. Sometimes all it takes is being in the room in our new trim bodies as former obese people not eating a thing is intimidating. The people around me that supposedly cared about me for years were perfectly fine with me being sick all the time as long as I was scarfing down piles of chicken wings at the party like everyone else. Being slim and healthy is offensive. Since when did taking charge of one's own health become such a crime? Love you guys and you have been a driving force throughout our journey. Thank you. ❤

What a shame. People, they're the worst!😂😂😂😂😊

Dr. Barnard is the last family Doctor. I just bought his book and I am going his way. Chuck and the exam room are a great help to us all! Eat animal products get cancer, diabetes, heart disease, obesity and dementia.

I really like the new more all encompassing definition of what a processed food is by bringing in the Animal products, Bravo! As for breakfast cereals? I will stick with my Oatmeal and fruits, that is it for me. Great topic and analysis today!

[@kiwifeijoa]

Enjoyed the way Dr Barnard showed that all animals process plant food, and eating that animal is therefore eating a highly processed food. That is useful information indeed.

PLEASE do a show on micro-plastics

[@michelewislaPlantBasedCoach]

Yay!!! 🙌🏻 💯 So glad you’re finally discussing this here. Dr Barnard, I saw your talk on the VeganLinked YT on this topic with your PowerPoint presentation and I thought it was brilliant and so accurate. I’ve been sharing the link to it individually and in some comments on social posts. I just love the logic to this. Makes so much sense.

[@bettymaugeri7316]

Always good information - thank you Chuck and Dr. Barnard.

[@Lady_Clare4]

Thanks for the reminders! Excellent information👍🏾👏🏽!

Dairy consumption increases breast cancer. Dairy is full of the hormone estradiol because the dairy cow is milked while it is pregnant and it has been measured in the milk. The 7th day Adventists are often studied because they are health conscious, don’t drink alcohol or smoke, and eagerly participate in studies. ADVENTIST HEALTH STUDY 2 showed the more milk the Adventists consumed the higher the breast cancer. This study was confirmed by a study in China, CHINA KADOORIE BIOBANK STUDY. The Conclusion: The more dairy you consume the higher your breast cancer risk. ¼ cup/day of milk increases breast cancer risk by 17%.

Thank you both so much for everything you do for us😇😇love Chucks shirt and tie colors combo 🌴🌴🌴🙏🙏 you both are very much appreciated🌞🌞

Sometimes manufacturers sneak animal products into processed foods such as lactose to enhance the flavor. I also dislike the taste of maltodextrin which is used liberally in supposedly savory processed foods.

[@Trying_To_Remember]

In the most broad strokes for simplification: A kernel of corn comes off the cob and goes into a person's mouth. This is an example of unprocessed food. A kernel of corn comes off the cob, gets flattened and cooked, comes out looking like a cornflake (not like a kernel of corn), and goes into a person's mouth. This is an example of processed food. A kernel of corn comes off the cob, gets broken down by amylase, comes out as a liquid (which definitely doesn't look like a kernel of corn), and goes into a person's mouth. This is an example of "hyper" processed food. A kernel of corn comes off the cob, goes into the cows mouth, gets broken down by amylase in the salivary glands, comes out looking like milk or meat (nothing like a kernel of corn) and goes into a person's mouth. These are also examples of "hyper" processed food (because the original kernel of corn doesn't look like corn by the time in goes into a person's mouth).

Hi Chuck and Dr. Barnard what do you think of the foods RObert Kennedy Jr. Is pushing as the new Make America Healthy Again spokesperson. 🇨🇦🇨🇦

QUESTION!! : which one is worse - Dairy or seed oils. Thanks in advance!! 😊

[@nanotechautocarecareproduc9746]

No need to choose one over the other. Both aren't recommended.

[@ethicalphytophage]

Dairy. Much worse. Make no mistake, seed oils aren't a health food either, but if you had to pick between these two, I'd pick the seed oils. There's many reasons why this is the case, but let me just share one. Dairy is usually a significant source of saturated fat. Seed oils are usually full of PolyUnsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA), which is a lot healthier than Sat Fat. Does this mean non fat dairy is healthy? Not a chance! Even non fat dairy is packed with inflammatory factors, and cancer promoting factors like IGF1. End of the day, try to get as close to a Whole Food Plant Based Low Fat diet as you can. Best wishes.

GREAD VIDEO!!! Thank you!! Can you provide a link to a human readable version of their findings?

[@michaelworsham2724]

At about the 9 minute mark Dr Barnard mentions Little Debbie's. It probably could be called Little Diabetes.

[@janiec3915]

Great video. It was my understanding that the vitamins added to foods such as breads, milk, etc. are synthetic and those are just as harmful. Is this true?

[@Sparkling-Cyanide]

This whole conversation has entered the realm of the Twilight Zone.

Aren’t these all old recycled episodes? I hardly see new episodes anymore with Chuck and I am wondering why.

[@frompizzaaddicttovegan]

This is their new setup they’ve only been using since January so definitely not recycled episodes.

[@Rockfish555]

is there any research supporting that meat is ultra processed food or is it part of a belief system

[@georgewilson7808]

New Study released 08/20/2024. Regularly eating red (beef and pork) and processed meats in particular is associated with a higher risk of TYPE 2 DIABETES, according to an analysis of data from 31 study cohorts published Tuesday in the journal The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. Researchers analyzed data from nearly 2 million people across 20 countries.

[@polibm6510]

Yes. Standard american diet is even worse than a vegan diet...

[@dodgeball693]

Umm how did you conclude this?

[@polibm6510]

@@dodgeball693 So you think that a vegan diet is worse than standard american diet? Could be.

[@dodgeball693]

@@polibm6510 i certainly don’t. And Dr Bernard was saying the opposite of anything..

If meat is the most processed food because of feeding animals soy and other things, then vegans are the most processed people.

Vegans don't eat.meat. how do you figure them being highly processed?

[@brianschlottman9681]

Should just say anti meat is your position.

[@jeffriley6774]

Never heard so much nonsense as on this show. Vegan nonsense and propaganda. False information through and through.

[@dodgeball693]

The science is his position!

[@GarysOnFilm]

Bernard and PCRM's animal activism is so blatant when they would say something like Lucky Charms is healthier than, say, wild caught salmon. Eating whole foods, mostly plants is the scientific answer, but it doesn't pass their purity test.

[@dodgeball693]

@@GarysOnFilm go back and rewatch. He mentioned Frankenberry cereal as an example of a breakfast cereal that had an inverse relationship to diabetes in the three large Harvard cohort studies, so Nurses 1 & 2 and Physicians studies. And he never mentioned a head to head study of wild caught salmon and cereal.

[@alexred1038]

This was hyperbole by Neal and I favor a high fiber diet.

[@dawnnwilliams2946]

Thank you for commenting that animal food being the most processed food is bs. I’m glad there are still people that use common sense and don’t just blindly believe everything thing someone says. Even when you may agree with them on many points.

what utter bs!
