Except if you look into coffee like you said it's better to trust multiple studies. There's been multiple studies just as much that coffee is good. However almost every article concluded too much coffee is bad. You're also totally right about just about every article and every study on it it's good. Especially matcha I tend to mix matcha with coffee I have two coffees a day with matcha. Then I will have a matcha by itself later. I tend to stay within the recommended amount of caffeine though.

[@happygimp0]

@@mikeskylark1594 Do you also think carnist should not make studies because of the conflict of interest?

[@charstringetje]

tl;dr Without funding we won't be able to conduct research with enough statistical power... At first glance you might think that industry funding is what drives most errors in the literature. While Dr. Greger often jokingly cites papers that are obviously p-hacked to significance and publication-and he often speaks of the absence of Big Broccoli as if that's the problem- that is not the major contributor of noise. For even when research is not maliciously done, we need research with large enough sample sizes for it to have enough power to show the true signal in the noise. A thing these meta, and meta-meta analyses attempt to battle, by combining the results of many smaller, often differently designed, studies. Even with no malicious intent, small studies and just p-values alone do not have the power to see through the noise. For an explanation see kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnOxlqh9ZpVgl8U and for some more effects of things like publication bias that add to the problem see kzbin.info/www/bejne/amO0pouCqsh7abM This is why I like it when dr. Greger doesn't just show papers and findings, but also tells about the mechanism the effect has. As without a mechanism, a couple of double blind, placebo controlled studies with p

[@MerioM]

The most important thing is that the bias is known. I mean otherwise corporation could simply ask to ban certain studies because the authors are biased against them. They would immediately do it if they could so it's better to let them publish what they want, not to mention that if they make mistakes you can critique them.

[@vitaminb4869]

Indeed, vegans tend to have higher testosterone than meat eaters...although, they'll call you soy boy nonetheless.

[@nutritionfactssupportteam4525]

A plant-based diet can certainly cause testosterone to rise, but it also tends to raise sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), which binds up the testosterone, so plant-based eaters do not seem to have higher free testosterone, which is the active form.

[@kwizz9664]

I’d suggest dropping the gatorade. Instead, sip some broth or bouillon that’s made from whole foods, without glutamate, such as veggie-based Better than Bouillon. You’ll get more sodium and some other beneficial phenols with it, without the plastic waste, residues and artificial colors. You’ll also do much better with a homemade soup. If you tend to run low in sodium, as many people do, add an extra pinch of sea or Himalayan salt to your soup/broth/bouillon. In fact, drinking gatorade, a hypotonic liquid to your body, actually dilutes your body’s sodium, so you actually lose concentration with it. I have watched this phenomenon in people’s blood labs for years. Your MD, although meaning well, is giving errant advice. I’ve corrected many MD’s who have said the same, who then thank me later for correcting their patient’s labs within a short time. As for potassium, you get far more from most fruit, greens and potatoes. For instance, a tenth of a banana, or a fourth of a small orange, or a handful of spinach each have more potassium than 8 oz of gatorade. Honestly, drop the gatorade. It looks pretty, but its nutrition is virtually useless. Keep in mind the nutrition advice you get from a MD is scant, at best, although they mean well. They get less than a few hours a year of cherry-picked training while in training, and then most do not focus on continuing education in the field, because it is not well-funded. Gregor is an exception. Continue to subscribe to him. Also, get your info from a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist that can hold a passionate conversation about whole food natural healing, and you’ll be better served. Peace!

You are so funny.

Was this video mislabeled?

[@shermansadventure1151]

I mean, a lot of this should be commonsense lol. Of course drinking a solvent (alcohol) and an addictive stimulant (coffee) isn't going to be good for you, but I guess people will always jump through mental hoops for justifications for their unhealthy habits. Coffee is okay if you only have it once in a while, when you actually need it, but drinking a fairly potent and addictive stimulant every single day just to get you out of bed is an extremely bad habit to develop.

Disappointing. I came here expecting to see a video detailing which beverages are most healthy, i.e. Hibiscus tea, green tea, etc.

[@adamaj74]

@@meonyoutubenow Don't be stupid. There are lots of drinks besides water, many filled with nutrition, antioxidants, etc. From the title it seemed like there may be new information on existing or better herbal teas, etc.

[@GregoryJWalters]

Thank you Dr. Greger! Sure smoking is a slow suicide.... Please do some vids on suicide in America, less on greens and beans now. Thank you

[@GregoryJWalters]

Quelle luxuriante! The best drinks vid.... What about children in Yemen? Step it up Doc Greger... I shall gently Coach you. So very much appreciated! Thank you

To be fair being funded by Coka Cola or Dairy Industry doesn't make the science bad... It's a bit like an Ad Homiem to simply say because they funded it, and they wanted a good outcome that the scientists automatically gave them this to keep getting funding. It would be much better if you took the science and showed how the science of the study is flawed, then make an assumption that because they funded the study that it's more likely or highly likely to be biased and flawed.

[@nutritionfactssupportteam4525]

That's actually what Dr. Greger did in the video. He highlighted that funding has been shown to increase the chance of favorable outcomes in nutrition research, and does spend some time discussing how some of these results are due to confounding or reverse causation.

[@TheaDragonSpirit]

@@nutritionfactssupportteam4525 I know he usually goes in to the science more. But didn't as much in this video. I just mean it could come off as the ad hominem fallacy if a flaw isn't shown in the science directly.

Low nutritional value, bad for your heart and physically and psychologically addictive. But it's cool, you can always choose to blindly ignore the negatives.

1:51 - It could also be that those writing the reviews smoke, were as independents don't like smoking and are slightly bias? But then you would expect independents that also smoked... So I guess it depends on if they have a bias, and expect an outcome...
