Most doctors coming out of med schools are now cookie cutters. Difficult to find one that does independent research. Dr. Li is one of the few. I follow him to a tee.
I know you are correct because I garden. If the plants get better nutrients they survive better than the ones that dont! So I have known nutrition is the key but really didnt know how to get enough knowledge to be comfortable with decisions on best choices to grow since I cannot grow everything. There is something terribly wrong with the quality of our food so I try to grow some to supplement with better foods because I know better what is used to grow my food. It will be so good to know what selections of food to grow. I have blackberries, blueberries, peaches, plums and lemons growing. Adding to my herb garden and it would be so nice to know the top ten or more herbs to grown in order of health. Then maybe the top 20 vegetables to grow maybe by zone?? Hoping a horticulture specialist might team up with you for this information. Plants can be grown in windows to snip, in a little greenhouse, in pots near the home entrance, raised beds etc. Organic farmers market is a choice for some too. There are sources to purchase organic herbs/plants to help get started for those interested in doing so. Children are learning in schools now to garden. To me, the secret of growing plants is to learn where they like to grow, water amounts and nutrients to use for them.
Dr Li we're fortunate to have your dialog on all subjects matter. I've watched most of your utube podcast. I wonder what happened to our Educational system that young people can't get the true meaning of the subject at hand. Does anyone use a dictionary anymore instead of making up words n meanings. Youre the best listener.and can sift what even your host want to say n know. Explaining the meanings. Thanks for your patience and setting the record straight. Thanks again!
Time stamped around 35:37, host does not have sound. At any rate, I have Dr. Li’s book. Definitely a reliable, balanced source who has experience in both drug development and food research. Thank you for your work and much valued information.
Thanks for genius lecture on cancer-preventing plant-based foods: 1) tomato, containing licopene. Cook them with olive oil increase licopene 3x 2) green tea 3) soy with its derivatives (tofu, tempe, natto) 4) blueberry 5) apples etc. Sugar in frout is healthy if you take it as whole foods...
Sorry but this is cancer promoting, absolutely no nutritional facts or science here whatsoever, proteins shut down cancer cells FACT, carbohydrate and oxalate makes the cancer thrive FACT, actual observations by actual scientists, this video is nothing but opinion and says I think before every answer, the carnivore community and scientists are the only group who talk about facts and actual science and actual nutrition, if you want health benefits stay away from people who say I think and knows nothing about physiology of the human body and how nutrtion affects that, the ONLY group of people reversing chronic disease metabolic disease and all kinds of health conditions are carnivores, period.
I'd avoid this list like the plague, your glucose level is at about 5g at any time, eating an apple spikes that by 10g creating isulluin resistance instantly, tea blocks the absorption of nutrients, replacing animal fats with vegetable fats is one of the worst things we did as a species, happened in the 60s and heart disease has gone up 10 fold, and fruit is just sugar which IS the cause of atherosclerosis, wdym as whole foods? Sugar is bad full stop wether it comes from an apple or a bottle of coca cola, not one of these foods is proven with studies anywhere in the literature to prevent cancer, not one, cancer needs glucose to survive, so don't eat sugar, including fruit.
I'm not waiting for the research before continuing my IF. People should not give this PR release on IF any attention until it is peer reviewed. I adopted IF and a low carb diet and turned around Type 2 Diabetes without any form of medication. At this stage that's all the evidence I need.
Hi Dr Li I have cancer going through treatments I would like to know about my immune system what should I take to be strong I’m very weak I want to feel stronger thank you 🙏
Excellent talk. We learned the soy/ cancer connection in our nutrition class in nursing school. Was more than an urban legend. I believe now the info you give is correct, increase the soy!
What an excellent, interesting podcast! I love Dr. William Li; have his incredible book Eat to Beat Disease (my nutrition "Bible") but really enjoy listening to him - I could listen to him all day! I really enjoyed this Podcast Sarah Ann Macklin and have subscribed! Thank you for presenting these informative and truthful podcasts!
I have entirely too many subscriptions, but I love this interview and have subscribed. (I did have to listen with earphones rather than watch as I find the words moving across the screen to be extremely irritating and distracting.) I love Dr Li and have bought his books for myself and as gifts. I pretty much watch everything with him. This interview was special because you asked different questions and I heard things I had not in other interviews. Really appreciate that. I also liked Dr Li's origin stories. It really does help one remember why. Look forward to watching (or listening to) other episodes on your channel.
Great interview! I've just started following Dr. Li and have learned a lot from his wisdom and expertise. He is one of the few with integrity. Many are chasing the money only.
Intermittent fasting is essential for having extra energy and longevity. Dr. John Scharffenberg is 100 years young. He is REMARKABLE in every sense! Do please have this magnificent being on your channel.
Thanks very much and it is a privilege to watch Dr Li and you it is great podcast special Dr Li is very intelligent Dr will have l watch his RU-vid it have help me very much l really appreciate him.
What about the high levels of hypothyroidism and halides, brassicas, and goitrogens blocking the absorption of iodine? Could you speak to this, please?
The other side of the Dunning Kruger effect is also true and should not be rejected - and that is - as a Layman, you don't need expertise in biochemistry and botany in order to use the terms - PHYTONUTRIENTS & POLYPHENOLS - correctly, with the appropriate understanding to pass it on.
Thankyou Dr Li for your wonderful teachings. I have seen that you do not mention chicken or eggs among the foods that kill cancer.. Could you please say something about it?
You have to measure the benefit against the risks for the patient. Like most weight loss products you have to be aware if you don't change your lifestyle and eating habits you will probably gain back the weight or even more when you go off Ozempic.
The interviewer has made two errors in her statement:1) fasting with eating window of 8 hrs rather than 8hr fast 2) GLP agonist rather than antagonist. She needs to do her home work well before interviews.
I totally agree with what you say about the amazing properties in fruits and vegetables. The one thing I would add is that the credit should go to the Creator of all these amazing foods, let’s not mention the human body! It’s like crediting an author for his painting of a sunset, but how about the Creator of the sunset, shouldn’t the Creator who created the sunset truly gets the credit?
I listened to prof lustig talk about olive oil , that heating for cooking changes the cis bond to a trans bond which is all bad . It is just dr li discussed cooking tomatoes with it so I am confused
You mention Frozen BLUEBERRIES last week I froze a big bunch as I like eating then frozen sometimes. However the ones I didn't eat defrosted, and to my absolute HORROR they all burst and had an awful looking long legged insect inside them, I had eaten about 20 of them. I will Never eat them again, and I'm still worried they may have laid eggs that are growing inside me, YUK!
I totally agree... I have a friend who was prescribed Mounjaro because of obesity & diabetes ( which has helped her stop insulin) & there is a shortage .But she said the sad thing is the insulin is cheaper than Mounjaro is . And nausea is a Huge side effect. I think those drugs should never be short for those who truly need it, as opposed to ones who want to use it for vanity because they can afford it.
Please Dr. Look at the polyphenols in BLACK TEA. It is my understanding is that they are essentially identical. This information was presented at The Annual Meeting at the Academy of Dietetics several years ago. I hold a masters from Tufts University and was a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist in MA. (Now retired) Please review the polyphenols in black tea.

... we weren't kept safe... but since then guess what I stopped eating to improve my well-being... and by the way that is my individualised reviewed study! Honestly taking a pill to reduce body fat makes no sense to me when the cause is blindingly obvious in relation to what food is eaten. Oh it's not fat. 🙂
What about the thousands of people on a keto/ Carnivore way of eating that have healed all kinds of diseases, for lack of a better term, by not eating or limiting plants?
I’ve bought Dr.Li’s books and watched many of his guest appearances on podcasts… but Dr. Li, one thing you are getting wrong is that being overweight has physical pain… and our relationship with food is not like your relationship with food… this idea of you want people to enjoy their food, and the company they sit down and eat with or paying for a meal… that sounds lovely, but that’s not going to motivate those with overweight issues… that’s a luxury you get to enjoy.
one must consider if one is insulin resistant before feasting on 'natural sugars', or if you have fatty liver or hyper tension, in all these cases please do not eat apples and other sweet fruit
Too bad it didn’t explain what is better 2 teaspoons of sugar for coffee or 1 tab of stevia? How about with stevia leaves since i have it planted at home.
Hmmm…I’m at timestamp 47:14, and I want to be fair, but I’m about to drop this mess. I’ve heard Dr. Li on different occasions, but frankly for him to dismiss “anti-nutrients” like Big Pharma (his origin story) dismisses alternative treatments, makes me not want to lose anymore of my short lifespan on his…opinions. 😒 And Dr. Li, if you honestly don’t know who the heck Dave Asprey is, you’re not qualified to criticize him or his breadth of knowledge! There are plenty of “medical experts” who never venture past the limits of Big Pharma education, to include nutritional knowledge. All they know is how to prescribe drugs! Pffft! Screw your drugs, like Ozempic. I know first hand the negative effects of anti-nutrients, like oxalates. My face was swollen and rashes covered my skin because I ate tons of raw spinach in smoothies, thinking I was eating healthy. Now I know to blanch the spinach and other oxalate-rich foods, then eat them. Your opinions sound like those from a drug company plant/spy who poses as someone who cares.
Really happy to have read your comment. Never trust an MD or researcher financed by Gates & Cie and that refers to the WHO nutritional advice. Longo another exemple.
Also bart kay would completely give this guy a school lesson too, check him out he's carnivore like most actual nutritional scientists and publishers, this guy has a conflict of interest somewhere clearly
An anti nutrient are nutrients that don't make it to our small intestine hence can't be proccesed, and also blocks nutrients that may have made it to the smaller intestine because of indigestion, I.e fibre and veg.
YOU have already helped soooo many because you keep information reasonable and understandable. We appreciate and will continue to follow your wisdom.. it's already helped my health! And health is wealth! :)
