Thank you Dr Gregor for keeping me healthy. Doing it all. WFPB vegan. No processed foods, refined sugar, fried foods, chemicals eating the daily dozen with B12, vit D. Wish the world would catch up to us. You enable me to have a comeback to those non vegans . Great videos and books.
Hey, loved the vibe🙌! I'm not really sure if it is the best time to ask but, I was wondering if I could help you create a better distribution by working on post-production like better storytelling through Edits, Keywords, think catchy intros and outros, or even some engaging short clips! Would love to chat if you're interested.
We are being lied to. Follow the money, Big Dairy and Meat Industry are pushing their poisons on us. They do not want us to know the truth as this will effect their bank balance ... 💚WFPB 4 Life 🙏 Thank your Dr Campbell. A champion amongst us 🤩 Much aroha from 💚Aotearoa NZ oxo
I love this, Joel is educated with direct and unfiltered informative knowlege ! He makes so much sense and I can relate to much of this before my plant based life. I am happy to hear about Ezekiel❤. I was anti wheat until I discovered Ezekiel and ancient grains
I remember before they came out with the Ezikiel label their product was called Bible bread or Mahna bread. Some Europeon sources produce a pure sprouted loaf that is fermented to a sweet taste with no other ingredient than sprouts but it is seldom seen on the shelves of markets any more.
Good presentation. Just one comment. "There isn't a single [vitamin] we have to cycle through an animal to obtain it. We can obtain it the way the animal does, by eating plants." What about B-12? Even the Vegan Society says "B12 is the only vitamin that is not recognised as being reliably supplied from a varied wholefood, plant-based diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables, together with exposure to sun. Many herbivorous mammals, including cattle and sheep, absorb B12 produced by bacteria in their own digestive system. B12 is found to some extent in soil and plants. These observations have led some vegans to suggest that B12 was an issue requiring no special attention, or even an elaborate hoax. Others have proposed specific foods, including spirulina, nori, tempeh, and barley grass, as suitable non-animal sources of B12. Such claims have not stood the test of time." So we have to rely on synthetic cyanocobalamin?
Great information, and wonderful way of presenting well known facts. I’m gonna steal a lot of what was presented here to incorporate into my future lifestyle medicine talks (with referencing of course)😊
Let's look at some science on meat eating... Trans vaccenic acid found in the meat and milk of ruminants and how it neutralizes cancer... Here are five human studies on trans-vaccenic acid (TVA) and cancer, along with their DOI numbers: 1. **Trans-vaccenic acid inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells via a mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis pathway** - **DOI:** [10.1186/s12944-019-0993-8] 2. **Trans-vaccenic acid reprograms CD8+ T cells and enhances antitumor immunity** - **DOI:** [10.1158/2159-8290.CD-RW2023-192] 3. **Trans-vaccenic acid in red meat and dairy enhances anti-tumor immunity, research reveals** - **DOI:** [10.1038/s41586-023-06749-3] 4. **Trans-11 18:1 Vaccenic Acid (TVA) Has a Direct Anti-Carcinogenic Effect on MCF-7 Human Mammary Adenocarcinoma Cells** - **DOI:** [10.3390/nu6020627] 5. **Trans vaccenic acid (trans-11 18:1), a precursor of cis-9, trans-11-conjugated linoleic acid, exerts a direct anti-carcinogenic function in T47D breast carcinoma cells** - **DOI:** [10.1007/s10068-014-0087-3]
Great information thank you . I have been eating this way for 5 years now l have now health issues now , this really works it should be taught in school's and to doctors .
I agree with all you say re meat eating. However, are the Cat family not carnivores? Not herbivores. I am not trying to be agrumentative. It actually just came to me.
Best lecture on nutrition and food behaviour I’ve ever listened to, and I’ve listened to many and read many books on the topics. Yet this is the most profound for me 😊
At 1:11:15 question about concern of blood sugar spikes after eating high carb plant foods, Dr. McDougall has a whole video addressing this. In a nutshell he says blood sugar spikes after eating unrefined whole plant foods is normal and not bad, the body is doing what it is supposed to.

This was a brilliant discussion and educational video. Thank you for sharing this information. I've added all 3 books mentioned to my audible library. Thank you very much.

Because many in the field of nutrition would have you believe we are herbivores and eat like one...we are not. Ruminant animals, such as cattle, sheep, and goats, have a unique digestive system that allows them to extract nutrients from tough plant material. Their stomachs are divided into four compartments: the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. The pH levels in these compartments vary significantly compared to the human stomach. 1. Rumen: The rumen is the largest compartment and is essentially a large fermentation chamber. The pH in the rumen typically ranges from 6.0 to 6.8, which is much less acidic than the human stomach. This neutral pH allows the growth of diverse microorganisms that help break down plant material. 2. Reticulum: The reticulum is similar to the rumen in terms of function and pH levels. 3. Omasum: The omasum helps absorb water and nutrients. Its pH is typically around 4.0 to 4.5, which is more acidic than the rumen but still less acidic than the human stomach. 4. Abomasum: The abomasum is the "true stomach" of ruminants and functions similarly to the human stomach. The pH in the abomasum ranges from 1.5 to 2.5, which is comparable to the human stomach's pH of around 1.5 to 3.5. In contrast, the human stomach is a single compartment with a highly acidic environment. The normal pH range of the human stomach is 1.5 to 3.5, with an average pH of 2.0. This acidic environment helps break down food and protects against harmful bacteria. In summary, while the abomasum of ruminants has a similar acidity to the human stomach, the other compartments of the ruminant stomach have a much higher (less acidic) pH compared to humans, which allows for the unique digestive processes necessary for breaking down plant material.

Big cats, such as lions, tigers, leopards, and jaguars, are obligate carnivores, meaning that their diet consists primarily of meat. As a result, their digestive systems, including their stomach acid levels, are adapted to processing high-protein, low-fiber diets. The stomach pH of big cats is highly acidic, similar to that of humans and the abomasum of ruminants. The average pH level in the stomach of big cats ranges from 1.5 to 2.5, which is within the same range as the human stomach (pH 1.5 to 3.5) and the abomasum of ruminants (pH 1.5 to 2.5). This highly acidic environment serves several purposes: 1. Breaking down proteins: The low pH denatures proteins and activates pepsin, an enzyme that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides. 2. Killing bacteria: The acidic environment helps kill bacteria and other pathogens that may be present in the ingested meat. 3. Enhancing calcium absorption: The low pH helps ionize calcium, making it more soluble and easier to absorb in the small intestine. It's important to note that while the stomach acid levels are similar among big cats, humans, and the abomasum of ruminants, the overall digestive process and stomach structure differ significantly between these groups. Big cats have a simple, single-chambered stomach adapted to digesting meat, while ruminants have a four-chambered stomach specialized for processing plant material, and humans have a single-chambered stomach adapted to an omnivorous diet.
Please edit out the earped sound and all the time spent on tech troubles. Very distracting . Perhaps this is why so few views. Clean it up, Dr Mills is always a superb speaker but this mess is easy to fix. Please post qualify
I’m so happy I found someone who can verbalize on a large scale the issues with addiction our society has that I knew was problematic . I couldn’t say anything because it sounded crazy coming from a lay person.
I love all those foods, the problem is I lose weight too easily. I would love to find at least one little podcast on how not to lose weight. I can't be the only person on earth that has this tendency. Thanks for the interview. Dr Barnard is a great help to understand our biological selves.
