Podcast: NutritionFacts Grab Bag 28 

Thats why I stick to supplements that are tried and true with a proven track record of safety long term: milk thistle, b complex, and vitamin D (the third only during the winter), as a vegan who does drink every weekend (young 20s adult, prime years lol)

without googling it, how old would you guess dr. greger is?

@@hctim96 just keep on doing what you doing, whatever it does it’s working and I don’t think is poisoness

I've heard that the people who follow the "Blue Zone" lifestyle are amoung the longest living people. They are 95% plant based and longevity is the shared characteristic. There are other lifestyle choices that can be attributed to longevity, but diet is certainly central.

@@nancyferland6044 as you said the "blue zone" examples are not fully vegan. They follow clean, omnivorous diets and avoid ultra processed foods. That being said, there is some deception in the way the blue zone data is presented. The data is cherry picked and under close scrutiny, reveals a politically motivated anti-western and anti-semitic bias. Did you know that asian americans in the state of new jersey have a longer life expectancy than okinawans? The asians in nj are actually a larger, more genetically diverse population too btw. Ashkenazi jews in NYC are among the longest lived people on earth, but that fact is inconvenient to the narrative that the blue zone publishers are pushing in more ways than one....

@@nancyferland6044my reply was removed. I guess they can't handle the truth.

No it wasn't removed. To answer your question, it is rare to live into your hundreds. I have family that did so, but they are genetically gifted, not vegans. Meta analyses show blue zone diets yield higher lifespans, but the number of people actually practicing wfpb is such a small percentage of the population that you'd be lucky to find even one in any given retirement community. That said, 7th day adventists are vegetarian and they have greater lifespans and healthspans.

@@psbjr i still don't see that comment i said was removed but anyway, with the 7th day adventists they did a big study on 7th day adventists and it showed that vegetarians lived longer than strict vegans.

Must be on your end. Audio is clear and it is, indeed, Dr. Greger’s voice.
