An important point I left out is that the rainwater only ruminant idea is appealing to nirvana / an ideal situation that doesn't represent the norm of meat eating. Also, here is the Seed link for your convenience: seed.com/mic15 Finally, Earthling Ed has a great response to the original What I've Learned video that covers some points I didn't: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DkMOQ9X76UU.html

Mike! Please do a video on how polluted different animal products are because even though I got rid of my leaky gut problems doing a plant-based diet: an organic cheat day is a lot less risky than any cheat day. Especially because things like butter and dairy are extremely polluted, in fact animal products are 80 to 90% more polluted then plant products. Studies have shown this since the nineties which explains why more people than ever before are having issues with things related to leaky gut because things are polluted more than ever before. I don't think people understand that chemicals are almost impossible to filter out just cuz something says it's filtered, doesn't mean there's not still Pharmaceuticals and pollutants in it. Each later of filter only removes one thing usually right?

What I was allergic to was often also part of fortified foods (cereals for example) I also notice my b12 can increase rapidly and easily with consumption Even when it first dropped rapidly and was told to get injections I was able to increase it without even being consistent in making conscious choices to consume more b12 in tablet form regularly

On the B12 point. Perhaps also missing simply asking.. Where does she think the animals are getting their B12? Animals don't produce it, bacteria do. The reasons humans aren't getting it (over sanitation, chemicals on our crops) also affect animals, which is why they get B12 supplemented - either injected, in their feed or both. So regardless of what you eat, your B12 is still coming from supplements somewhere.

The point is the argument to eating meat to avoid supplementation is ridiculous because animals have to be supplemented for all the same reasons as humans if you don't eat those animals - even more so infact, most farmed animals are heavily supplemented. The only difference is you get less from the animals per amount supplemented because they won't absorb much of it, and will use much of it up.

On b12, the high dose has to do with the rather complex way b12 is absorbed, but nothing to do with the source. The short of it is that you could take a 1~5mcg dose daily - which is equivalent to what someone eating animal products daily is doing- OR you could take 1000mcg once a week, and your absorbed dose would be roughly equivalent.

@salvadorpalma8173 Год назад

Dr. Gil Carvalho from "nutricion made simple" says that the more B12 you take the less percentage it's going to be absorbed. Therefore, if you don't want to take it everyday, just for practical reasons, you will need to take more the the daily amount X 7 days. I take a 2000mg pill every week. Like you said, the rest gets flushed out. Mike, if you don't know Dr. Gil's channel, you would love eachother's work. He is also a vegan/vegan channel.

@garethbaus5471 Год назад

The literature on the bioavailability of vitamin B12 is really interesting as well and I highly recommend reading some of the actual papers. In general consuming B12 in foods either in foods that naturally contain vitamin B12 or fortified foods appears to reduce bioavailability as compared to supplements taken without food, and anything beyond the first 1000 mg at a single time is pretty much entirely wasted with the efficiency tapering off with higher dosage up until that point.

A lot of her reasoning (or at least the reasoning she is repeating) can be described as "no matter is created or destroyed" which while TECHNICALLY true, is really just a red herring. If cattle were only eating grass on land that could not otherwise be used for other agricultural purposes, the industrialized beef industry wouldn't exist as it is today. The "supportable" beef industry would be lowered to the point where beef consumption for the average person (if they're into that kind of thing) would likely be a couple of times a year on the optimistic side, and realistically less.

@EmmaSolomano Месяц назад

Some meat proponents act like cattle pasture just existed already, patiently waiting for someone to stick some livestock on the land. They don't realise that much of it used to be forest or savannah and was knocked down and limited grass species grown just for the cows.

@garethbaus5471 Год назад

The B12 in most forms of seaweed usually isn't bioavailable, so don't rely on eating seaweed for your B12. You still want to have fortified foods or a supplement to prevent deficiency.

Do people not understand how urine works?! When we drink water - or other hydrating beverages - we don’t wee out the amount we ingested. We absorb most of that water, and what comes out is the excess (combined with toxins that have been filtered out by our kidneys) we don’t need. The cup of tea I just drank is not going to come out in an hour. Perhaps an ounce or two will come out, depending on how hydrated I was when I drank it. If a person were extremely dehydrated, he could drink a litre of water and none of it would come out because his body would hold onto every last, lifesaving drop. The only exception to this rule are drinks with a very high alcohol content, such as liquor, sherry, and brandy. Even wine, beer, and coffee have a net hydrating affect, meaning more liquid stays in than comes out, even though they may cause a person to urinate more often. Vodka, gin, rum, etc. do cause a person to lose more water overall, so they have a net dehydrating effect. But I guarantee you that farmers aren’t giving their cows liquor.

Another thing that people always seem to forget is that, technically, we can eat grass. At least, so I've heard, lol. I dont actually eat grass. But I've heard that you can cook it to a high enough degree that the lignin breaks down and it's safe to eat. Plus there's lots of plants in the "grass" family. Corn, for example. I dont know exactly what kind of grass grass-fed cows eat...is that something you could do a video on?

Humans eat mostly the seeds instead of the plant body of grass plants. Lignin is btw the "woody" polymere and only broken down by some fungi. I think you mean cellulose, which is indeed not digestible for humans.

She posted some really eye opening videos of her kids increased development once she took them off of veganism. Then she pissed off all the carnivores when she started eating fruit. (including one follower named Citizen Journalist, who claims that eating fruit AND mean, is basically vegan, but I digress…) Any way, Julie then didn't adjust well to a mean only diet, and is gradually adding back in more plants, but won't go 100% vegan after seeing the importance of animal based food. Right at the moment, she is doing a green smoothie diet with animal organ based supplements. So, plant based poser.

The 1000 mikrogram B12 is just to compensate in case you are one of quite many people who has a problem with absorbing B12. With 1000 micrograms you surpass the normal absorption route, instead the B12 will get absorbed through passive diffusion, up to 10 micrograms is absorbed when you take 1000 micrograms cyanocobalamin (B12).

It seems that a vegan diet can only be sustained with supplements, so how would humans fare if there were no supplements? If we were to go back to living in nature in entirety, how long would we remain healthy? That seemingly would depend on what we could gather from the plants around us. That would mean that in order for us to stay healthy enough to breed, we would need seaweed, avocado, berries, nuts, seeds, citrus fruits, leafy green vegetables, maybe some root vegetables, algae,and other plants such as moringa, which grows in africa, South america, India and china. The main question then would be, how could we ensure that we get what is needed throughout the year? We would have to travel, the same as other animals would. Would that make sense? Would we be able to get enough protein and fat for migration to be viable? We came from a hot zone and migrated to cooler zones. The not zone legacy is still with us as we are largely without hair that could be used as an insulator. As we migrated, we used other animals skins to keep us from dying from exposure. We used bones as tools. Even if we didn't eat meat, this may have been possible due to the food chain of other animals, however, it would have been more hit and miss. Without the use of other animals, not just for food, but for clothing and tools, we wouldn't have become so widespread. So how would we fare without supplements? My guess is, not very well and not for very long.

@snehasaboo1377 9 месяцев назад

Well the question is not realistic in today's world as we are not struggling to survive nor we are in the wild anymore. You do know that even farm raised animals are given b12 supplement because surprise surprise even they are b12 deficient because that vitamin is not made by the cattle it is made by a bacteria present in the soil. Also no one is going to go back to nature like that is such a nonsense argument because you do know there life expectancy was usually 40 50 years only whereas today in the modern world we can easily live upto the 80s. So I guess we can sustain a great civilization with being less damaging to the environment because the current human problems aren't related to survival but rather Climate change and resource (water, etc) scarcity.

@andrewdl6824 Год назад

They always assume cows graze on natural pastures but because plants grow faster in rainy climates, most pastures today are on deforested land. Replacing forests with pastures alters the water cycle by causing more runoff, less aquifer refill, and more evaporation. Also way less carbon sinking.
