Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn - Should You Drink Your Greens? 

Engine 2?

Have you looked into fruitarian or raw vegan

@@shinebrightandbethelight he has no teeth left to do a raw vegan..

Thankfully the podcasts and their books have reached and still reaching a global audience so their helping many in our human collective. ✌️

Not to take away from Dr Furchgott, Louis J. Ignarro and Ferid Murad w/their joint 1998 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for their work related to "nitric oxide as a signalling molecule in the cardiovascular system". But 90 + universities, academies and societies acknowledge Dr. Moncada’s priority (first) discovery that nitric oxide is released by endothelial cells and revealing of its metabolic path. Over 20K citations of their fundamental papers in the scientific community endorse his primacy in this field. Robert Furchgott himself author of the brilliant discovery of the endothelium derived relaxing factor, that opened this field to the science, said about 1998 Nobel Prize: "I feel that the Nobel Prize Committee could have made an exception this year and chosen a fourth person, Salvador Moncada (to share the prize)". In good science your always building on others work.

Focus on TC/HDL ratio. We are born of LDL:HDL ratio 1:1. Also focus on triglycerides above 125 mg/dl is not good.

@@TB1M1 Esselstyn pays no attention to HDL. A high HDL can be inflammatory and not protective. Look at the website FAQ page for this info.

@@TONY-bv3fk HDL is still important metric

Do you mean stems?

Stalks?

Lol ... that was a dumb typo. I think I will leave it as it is. Eating a water bird is a bit off topic but funny anyway.

Are you really going to argue with a guy who has sliced people open from neck to groin and removed veins plugged with fat?

@@lorrainehannon7631 The short answer is - yes Have you seen the videos by Dr. Gill Carvalho? He has perused much of the research on this issue and has found that a limited consumption of plant oils is beneficial for your health .

Always think "beneficial compared to what". In other words, that diet is definitely better than the processed junk and the animals/animal secretions that most people eat, but it's not as good as whole foods vegan/no oil. The research bears this out. The Mediterranean diet still has animals, their secretions, and oil, just fewer than the SAD diet.

It is. High carbs in friuts an vegetables it great for us. I avoid wholegrain wheat as much as white refined wheat

I don't think there's any evidence that whole grains are not good for you. Just the opposite actually.

barbara Ball , prepare the salad / meal put the whole thing in a food processor and grind it up until you can easily consume it , lol I've done this many times with veges. Good luck

If your diet was whole foods plant base, no oils, no caffeine then it wouldn't be a problem

"plants and vegetables"... O.o

@@CursiveDragon and avoid meat/dairy

@@brucetowell3432 I mean no harm in saying this, but if that is his profile pic; what muscle loss?

Actually some people need a carnivore diet as for me I do better plant based

Because it contains animal protein and caseine.

Hey Delwood, this doesn’t bother me at all. I really enjoy a snack of greens with nice balsamic and sprinkled with a bit of nutritional yeast. A great snack any time of day. It’s not like Dr E is recommending something unpleasant. It’s helped me become a better gardener and cook too.

You don't need a study. You can experiment this effect yourself. Whenever there is a boot in NO production, your blood pressure would drop, and you feel your body is lifted up. The doctor has been experimenting with this for a long time and he knows. I feel the effect too.

I was told by Dr Mcdougall that it was a ploy to sell more vegetables. I actually feel better adding juicing into the diet.

@@ricvanwinkle1665 Carrot juice with apple is actually what I used to drink daily ....sometimes adding celery. thanks and God Bless

Swiss processed uses water, not chemicals.

Adding: Fluor calcifies the thyroid so it doesn’t function optimally and since the thyroid controls the pancreas which again regulates insulin, that is the main cause of diabetes. Elementary dear “Watson” 😊

Not if your in the produce aisle

@@ricvanwinkle1665 fair enough

And cooking the whole foods starches. And having beans, lentils.
