VEGAN DIET: Dispelling The Biggest Myths 

come back when you are 100 ;)

Dee Davis Low fat diet also? Im doing low fat high fiber ratio whole food plant based diet now.

@@Aria-Invictus If you eat the right fat you can eat more of it. Good oils/nuts and avocado for example.

Animal eaters are against vegans because VEGANs want to force everyone else to be vegans. There should not be an argument about what other people want to put in their bodies. Why else would vegans say that it is not nice to kill animals. How else do we eat them - ALIVE? Our BRAINS are made up of CHOLESTEROL which is ONLY available from eating ANIMALS. , so is our HEART, liver and other organs. Cholesterol is used to make TESTOSTERONE AND ESTROGEN as well as proving ESSENTIAL cellular functioning. If fact, low CHOLESTEROL LEVELS can even lead to SUICIDE. PLANTS provide ZERO CHOLESTEROL, and you need it EVERY DAY . Read the article published by HARVARD EDU newsletter www.health.harvard.edu/newsletter_article/cholesterol-the-mind-and-the-brain Vegans rate of SUICIDE is 33% HIGHER than general population. www.humanewatch.org/new-evidence-suggests-link-between-vegetarianism-and-depression/ BEYOND MEAT and other veggie burgers have ANIMAL FAT listed as an ingredient as well as CANCER CAUSING INGREDIENTS AND LAXATIVES. The PROFIT according to stockholder records is 600%, on BEEF its 5%. WHY SUCH THIEVES RUNNING THE VEGGIE COMPANY. Do you know what ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS ARE???? NOT FOUND IN VEGGIES AND THEY ARE ESSENTIAL FOR LIFE and plants have none of them. Animal dung is used for FERTILIZER to grow plants. Its a symbiotic relationship.. So how do you fertilize the plants without animal fertilizer. You can use ARTIFICIAL FERTILIZER made from PETROLEUM - Yes, that is what MONSANTO uses to make fertilizer. GASOLINE !!! YES, you are eating veggies made from PETROLEUM. Our CO2 levels are at 400 ppm, they used to be at 4,000 ppm. Did you know that PLANTS DIE when CO2 levels reach 300. How do you explain loving plants, wanting to use them for your ONLY food source - Yet you INSIST that we must kill the FOOD PLANTS EAT - THEY EAT CO2 and kick out Oxygen. If the PLANTS DIE we die too because we will have no OXYGEN!!! Eat some meat - You will live longer. You cant be nice to animals if you are DEAD!

@@fladave99 Exactly!

Vegans average 9-10 years more than flesh eaters.@@obee47

@@obee47Yup!

@@obee47 How do you know though?

@@obee47 I mean I used to eat meat for years and my body started collapsing. But it wasnt for meat of course but bad diet in general and bad habits. Being vegan for some years now with carefully chosen diet, I feel like I haven't aged a minute. Not saying I know your body and veganism can save you. Just saying

@@obee47 I am and I don't defend veganism to the point of collapsing. If you can be vegan and stay healthy go for it. If you find yourself feeling bad then adjust your diet. I just believe that most of us can be vegan if we plan what we eat. It's definitely harder than eating everything but I believe it is sustainable. Time will tell

Thank you for your message here! That's what my boss comment on me..because I am a vegan..I will keep going and I be attending all there funerals..😊

Me too i am vegetarian 10 years and in good health i am 49 olds👍

Actually is good for big pharma: what supliment do you take ?

I am keto and I too am experiencing good health. Keto is bad for big pharma. Hmm.

Im sorry veganism is the best thing that happened to big pharma.. and monsanto.. and oil companies (importing fruit is with shipping), and fertilisers...intensive farming is bad for the environment no matter if its plants or animals. Lab grown meat isnt natural. And because of how extreme the diet is most people will still eat meat so you wont even stop the factory farms. Locally sourced, free range and grass fed all the way! support local farmers against the evil of big profit driven industry!

so you looked at what you were eating and realized there is better ways to supply your body and it worked? wow...

Well tried i don't believe this u helped Ur grandma by all those plant based carbohydrates there's always a limit

“I started feeling week” You mean weak.

It's good to hear you educated yourself instead of blaming it on the vegan diet. People think being vegan is a synonym of starvation, disease, weakness and malnutrition. It will only happen if you don't find proper information. If you don't prepare your meals the right way. If you don't take vegan supplements or are lazy to cook and do research.

Veganism nearly ruined my health. One of the biggest mistakes I have ever made, was going vegan.

That's so true, :) from Womb to Tomb. Plant Based all the way , apart from Mother's Milk of course :)

Welcome to the vegan group.😂😂I feel ya

Hope it keeps getting easier for you! 💖

Hey how’s it going now

Mother's milk is vegan because it is your own and dosen't cause harm to animals or anyone else.@@maztergee

Rudolph Roets literally the sad diet 😭

Yep, thats what many documents, studies, and books abbreviate it to. It always makes my vegan heart grin a little bit.

Vegan Diet = VD

Standard American Diet = SAD = Lack of fiber LOL

Because it's basically just 90% processed food nowadays. That's why comparing vegan diets to the general diet is so unreliable. You can eat meat and still be healthy. It's called cooking your own damn meals.

Mitch Phillips watch also Earthling Ed.

T Powell As a meat and dairy eater I was so anemic, my thyroid ruined, no B12, iron etc. Doctors asked me how I got out of bed. Went plant Vegan, quit all meds cold turkey, healed my body with organic ripe fruits!!! I rebuild from bone up all my cells. My blood and hair exams are perfect. Except all the poisons fumigating us via geo Engenering. Look up " Chemtrail Pilots " on Facebook ( not the music band but airplane pilots) and read the comments.

That's the funny thing, you ppl have health problems but say others must follow your diet due to your own genetic problems. You will most likely also have other problems given your weak genetics, that's why 90+ yr old vegans aren't a thing, they often die from their weak genetics that lead them to veganism before them.

@@imluvinyourmum At least they won't die from heart failure at 50

@T Powell what do you typically eat in a day? I struggle with finding real food to eat for breakfast and lunch on a vegan diet

@@82lindo Get some cook books and plan ahead, here's an example of a typical day of food : breakfast- Oatmeal with frozen blueberries with toast and nut butter, lunch- veggie hoagie (look online there's tons of recipes) or a big salad smothered with olives, radishes, carrots, sauerkraut, cooked mushrooms, onions, peppers, and potatoes with homemade vegan ranch dressing (got to plan ahead and chop a lot) dinner-lentil stew, or a stir fry with tofu....the key is to plan ahead, create grocery lists, and learn about a variety of recipes, sauces and dressings which makes foods taste delicious.

Agree

Mostly Sociopaths. Psychopaths are born sociopaths are made

I know right! great humour. Terrible science

@Lisa Murray awesome, 50 years in and still learning

That doesn't defend veganisms in any way..... Only that you couldn't cook....

@@foxbow90 It wasn't a defence against veganism at all, if it defends anything about veganism it shows how a lot of people don't learn how to cook because the the majority of everyday meals only require the most basic cooking knowledge, but if you don't want to eat just steamed veges you will learn how to cook eating a plant based diet. Don't come looking for arguments with that weak bullshit

I could quote your words as mine exactly. I eat a much bigger variety now and have fun trying new recipes and experiments.

@@robinsaxophone232 That's awesome, it's fun isn't it. I'm gonna make ''Laksa'' tonight, I tried it a few days ago and it went well

The same here with my mom.

It’s hard! I realized that majority of the time my mom did not accept unsolicited information from me. So you have to cleverly bring in outside sources to collaborate what you say and what you are doing.

I m IR i can t have fruit because usually I will get a lot and that spikes my insulin

Same with my mother too!

Cheers!

Look at How Veganism is taking off in India, and how India currently represents 49 percent of the world's diabetes... Who benefits from this? People like this guy...

Cheers friend

Brittny MR As someone with RA I have totally been in this situation. Hopefully you’ve been able to get off the majority of any meds you’ve been put on because of the switch.

how are u now? i have psoriatic arthritis

@Amanley Load at 16:16 he made this stupid claim... that's where he lost me. Ethical vegans (AKA REAL VEGANS) are healthy.

@@ASMRyouVEGANyet I am sure that if asked, he would say that being an ethical vegan is not necessarily unhealthy. On the other hand, it can be. A Whole Food Plant Based diet is the healthiest possible diet. The closer vegans can get to that goal, the healthier they will be.

@@ASMRyouVEGANyet I agree I don't like how he implied ethical vegans are unhealthy. However I think he is just emphasizing those people were doing it solely for the animals and not their health. After all, it's detrimental for the movement if people quit because they ate food that made them feel bad. I'm vegan for the animals myself and eat whole foods plant-based so I get what you're saying. Most vegan :)s are healthier than the average person, but you can't deny some people aren't interested in the health aspects of it :)

The problem is not the Internet,the problem is people's lack of critical thinking, to be able to discern what is real and what is not, to be aware of their own biases, their own views and be able to question what they hear and what they see properly. When a claim is made, say Dr.M Greger makes a claim that beans are good for digestion. He is an acclaimed doctor, with credentials, he will list his sources and if you check those sources they are usually scientifically robust, and so are the to the best of our knowledge as it stands. Believing that beef is good for you because 'Brad' the buff dude at the gym said so, and because he has an 8 pack he must be right, and you enjoy beef so it must be great... The best part about science is that is true regardless of whether or not you believe it, but you have to know how to check it so you are not fooled by pseudoscience. Dark chocolate was sold as a superfood when it was scientifically proven to be good for your vascular system, sales of dark chocolate skyrocketed, the study was not robust, was only done on a few people and the study was funded by Nestle. Google or YT search critical thinking, it is important in this age of information overload that we know how to find truth.

@@LeeMaitland I agree with your post, but I want to point out that Dr. Greger does recommend cocoa powder. It provides the benefits without the drawbacks, like sugar and fat. I sometimes eat baker's chocolate which is 100% cacao (also free of added sugar,) but I mostly use cocoa powder.

yes!

Me too, after watching this 2hour documentary, it revealed some startling info I was oblivious to. It was extremely hard to watch, but I'd rather know the whole truth. Therefore I instantly made my well informed decision to become fully vegan. It was almost enlightenment for me.

Pasture raised...k2 vitamin

Plus the human slavery involved.

The animal genocide is on top of the list of the most psychopathic and cruel deeds of humankind.

2y 100% WFPBD and I wish that too... so disgusted thinking back about what I used to put into my body!

Same here! 🌸 I had such a lack of knowledge. 🍓🍌

I completely agree with you bro!

Are your shoes plant based???

@@shawndarling5855 Yup👍🏿😁

One of the few vegan doctors

@@alcurtis93 Exactly :) He and Dr. Greger are my favorites, partly because they are both ethical vegans

I didn't know much about this guy but he is now my second favourite doc after Dr Greger, bloody legends

I agree. Dr. Neal Barnard is also a favorite of mine.

@@sclgable Don't forget Dr John McDougall and his wife Mary

He has quit

French blue8 He stopped doing talks. He will never quit veganism.

www.plantbasednews.org/post/gary-yourofsky-retires-from-social-media-activism I totally understand getting burned out.

Still a Vegan ...Congrats! it’s my 2 1/2 year anniversary...NEVER going back!

Please interview Gary - “best speech ever” video

Good for you. But don’t demonise the oils. There are good and bad. A little cold pressed olive oil on your salad or a little cold pressed rapeseed oil is fine. The science verdict, is that bad oils are bad. What are bad oils? Dairy, meat and ultra processed plant oils. Ultra processed plant oils are the ones that are highly refined, like the blended oils in factory made cakes, biscuits and salty snacks. You can even buy, cloudy, unfiltered virgin olive oil, it’s expensive, but, use just a little, it’s lovely.

You've been misled.

I think you'll find them to be quite interesting. When diagnosed, go ketogenic. It has a much better track record than chemo and drugs. Good luck.

@You are right, but So why do vegans live 10 years longer? Or you will just pretend Blue Zones is one big conspiracy I guess

@@jvhee why would I want to live that long anyways I only want to live till I'm like 70 something by that time I will be too old and have already done everything I really wanted to do and would just be waiting to die at that point

Yeah, great comnent. Carnivores don't understand.

@LeBron Crybaby James Usually start the day with a large bowl of oatmeal with fruit and flax, and a big berry and banana smoothy. Lunch is usually a big salad on a big baked potato with lots of beans, seeds and greens and an oil-free dressing. Asian food for dinner.

@@bennygreen1 You eat really similarly to me, the nice thing about being over the iron by lunch is I can eat pretty much what I want for dinner. It's a simple life style and I wouldn't have it any other way.

@You are right, but I used to get a lot of gas but realized it was down to eating too quickly and not chewing my food properly. As natural plant eaters we have digestive enzymes in our saliva that break down carbs (a herbivorous trait), when you eat too fast these enzymes don't get a chance to do their job, which leads to undigested entering the small intestine, causing gas. Beyond that things like SIBO and SIFO can cause bloating and gas on a vegan diet because of the higher carb load, but fixing the problem is always a better choice than fixing the symptom.

@You are right, but Hey bro, your right, it is more environmentally friendly to go hunting locally. That being said, can I get some tips on how you hunt and fish your raw milk, kefir, raw eggs, raw butter...?

@You are right, but So you never looked into what causes gas then? Interesting. To be honest, I think the chances that a hunter would ever have the compassion to give a vegan diet any consideration are slim to none. But if you did, eating that long list of atherogenic animal foods would likely cause a reduction in gas. But most likely because of the reasons stated previously. Did you watch the video? Care to debunk anything he said? Or did you just come here to troll? Winter vegetables.

1995? wow, cool.. would be interesting to know how did you came about that during that time period..

It never caused any problem??

So they can become 'Carboholic'?

@@pallekjrlaursen8388 nobody needs to be "holic" about anything, just have a balanced diet. His book is just about people being obsessed with protein and thinking you only get your proteins from meat ...

Thank you now i feel forced to buy such amazing book because i need its logical arguments... god darn it =(

I highly recommend that you take a course in paleoanthropolgy, or at least read a book on it.

Every one I know not yet vegan gets that book for Xmas and birthdays. Helped people go vegan too.

Unfortunately it would end up as sad story

If they wanted to grow up malnourished, sure.

@@ben-7403 Are you going to back that up with anything or is it just a belief that you hold on to?

@@SubjectE57It's quite difficult for the average person to eat a complete balanced diet while vegan. You must constantly log your nutrition to be certain that you've eaten enough complete proteins (all 9 amino acids in a bioavailable form), macro and micronutrients. You must take supplements while vegan to ensure that you're eating an optimal balanced diet. Any diet that requires the use of supplements is fundamentally flawed. Most vegans aren't tracking their nutrition as closely as they should and are often deficient in major nutrients.

@@ben-7403 It's really not that difficult, did you watch the video or just come into the comments section? Every source of protein except gelatin is technically complete, the only difference is the ratio of amino acids, but if you eat a variety of foods then there is no issue. Variety solves the issue of macro and micro-nutrients as well once you know what to look for. Do you have any evidence that supplementation is bad for your health, or that vegans are more at risk of deficiencies than the general population?

Dairy is a sponsor of the Disney channel. I see this myth being pumped into our kids on an hourly basis on that channel.

@Gizmo Supreme did you even watch this?

Depends on the type of milk raw milk is great

Milk is fine, doesnt do you good, doesnt do you bad. Its still healthier to drink then soymilk

@@henrikbruun2016 Why do you think soymilk is unhealthy if I may ask? :)

Your sister would lose her job if everyone went vegan.

@@dianeyoung8068 when we lose something we gain something new, better, healthier for this planet and all life on it.

if you have them overdosed they actually will...... You could end up having reactive hipoglycemia that might lead to a stroke eventually. Frutose is still sugar. But when it is balanced, it is awesome!!

Dairy gives you Diabetis. That’s the cause.

@@todaysrealhealth8153 so does meag we meat in particular

Fruit is mostly sugar, so it can give you insulin resistance in the same way that chugging coke every day can. I got type 2 diabetes after some years of being vegan because i was consuming so much carbs. I eat nothing but meat ( mostly red ), cheese, and occasional green veggies now and doctors continually tell me i don't have diabetes.

then why doctors remove certain fruits from diabetics diet? :-) fruits is sugar, in the long term if you consume too much of them they will give you diabetes.

yep, ''insert there's idiots everywhere meme''

Yep. They actually argue that people who have the highest cholesterol live the longest lol

I'm a cholesterol "denier," talk to me

@@jamesgoodwin7742 But thats true...coorelation does not equal causation. Half of all heart attack victims have normal cholesterol levels. Most people over the age of 90 have "High Cholesterol". Stop believing these plant based lies.

@@camkennison2279 it’s actually over half that have normal cholesterol. Vegans can’t seem to look at information objectively despite what they tell you.

Do you need to take supplements? I'm thinking of changing to a vegan diet, and I'm about your age. Thanks for any insight you can share! 🙏

@@lf7065 you need supplements on a vegan diet, thats the first thing that should tell you its not natural. but also dont eat the processed animal products. local organic meat and dairy is the way to go.

I know vegans that are over 60, 70 years vegan. and I’m friends with their dependents. The family tells me they never got sick too. Good for you.

@@lndestr1234 Yet the majority of meat eaters who are deficient in many vitamins needing to take supplements is acceptable? How can you justify the eating of dairy and meat when it causes health problems and has very little nutrition and vitamins in comparison to plants? The hypocrisy though.

bill smedley...the best gift we can bestow on others is a good example...

I do so agree

Have you looked into the damage that soy farming causes to human and animal life?

I feel ya. I worked for an environmental group and they were focused on recycling batteries. No mention of diet change. And if I brought it up j was hushed up. I left that place...I can't stand hypocrites.

Oh really? How many 1000's of animals have to die to get you that vegan burger every day or wheaties in the morning? There are more animals killed in farming for your vegan foods than a carnivore who might eat maybe a few animals per year. A person who incorporates some meat are utilizing the benefit of what God gave them to eat. You vegans kill animals as waste and just the cost of doing business without regard to the environment.

luscent3737 what are you talking about??Please explain how vegans kill more animals than people who eat meat, if love to hear it.

@@andrewdonzelli9927 You realise a lot of insects/animals get killed because they interfere with the soy farms? Imagine if we all went vegan, we would need a shit ton of soy farms to supply us all - Imagine all the animal/insects that would get killed in this process..

LeBron Crybaby James It’s true He isn’t laying.My personal fruit intake is huge and my pre diabetic conditions is gone.I don’t need any doctor to prove me otherwise

fruit = sugar

@@Deathscent089 "fruit = sugar" Using that logic we can also say: human milk = sugar There is more sugar in human milk than fat and protein combined. More sugar in 1 kilogram of human milk than in 1 kilogram of watermelon.

@@radomirp The difference is people aren't basing their entire diet on milk and tricking themselves into thinking its healthy. If someone did I would criticise them too. Health is moderation. Vegans lose their teeth at an unprecedented rate... (what a weird comparison too - as far as i'm aware adults don't regularly drink human milk...)

Mark Elmore we arent cows

@@dontlethimbullyyouson my point is there is alot of protein in vegetables and greens. no we aren't cows, but the idea is the same. they maintain their size my grass (and maybe corn depending on the farm) but the point is that veggies have plenty of protein. it's the amino acids that we really need. but we still don't need that from meat. and I'm not vegan, I'm just stating facts.

@@dontlethimbullyyouson since we aren't cows we shouldn't drink cow milk

@@dontlethimbullyyouson Gold star for you.

The vegan should have said "your momma" and then walk off. Tired of explaining myself to ppl. If that person was really curious about veganism they would do research like I did. Smfh.

I know what you mean, been there done that. Let's all use our own intuition combined with rational, responsible nutritional advice from actual professionals and not dangerous nutters on RU-vid.

Feldenkrais with Alfons I hear ya’. He tells people to drink soda for cycling fuel now.

Follow logical people. Durianrider isn’t logical.

Feldenkrais with Alfons How many fruits and veggies did you eat? I think not enough. You probably ate loads of pastries, cerial, crackers, candy which are NOT VEGAN. All those things still contain pig fat!! Latd, Gelatin!! Which is fattening as hell. Ritz crackers and Skittles are made from disgusting pig parts.

Alfons why would you overeat and be stuffing in extra food thinking this would make you thin? Makes no sense. You got to think and get things in context. Listen to your body. I'm a cyclist like DR and we need a shitload of calories as on one 3hr training ride I burn up 2000Cals easy. Add to that my basal metabolic rate of around 1900Cals per day and I'd have to eat nearly 4000Cals on those days. Very hard on a mainly wholefoods diet! Most of those cycling Cals are from sugar as we burn up glycogen stores (and a little fat) so if we eat sugar or carbs, it first tops up that ~1400Cal glycogen tank. Only after that tank is full and we have balanced the Cals in/out equation will we start storing fat which comes nearly exclusively from the fat we eat. Carbs are much harder to be converted into fat, than fat into fat which obviously needs no conversion. I still eat some sugar, jam, gels in training and in races, the odd soft drink, and when measured was 5.9% bodyfat.

Your point is ?

3 points for your consideration: 1. What do you make of the fact that our digestive system physical anatomy is like that of a herbivore and not that of an ominvore? Surely we can put whatever we want in our mouth but that doesn't make it automatically healthy or natural for humans. Animal protein ruts in human guts due to its rather long size, as opposed to that of omninore or carnivore animals, whose small size instestins ensures that the surplus comes out as waste quickly. 2. If animal products were natural for humans, their consumption would help sustain long term health, while it's been documented for decades that animal protein causes multiple illnesses. 3. If animal products are not essential for human health, why choose a product that is causing so much great suffering that industries make a point of hiding the process, and that slautherhouses workers have greatly higher rates of mental ilnesses or distress then the general public. is all the suffering, confinment, violence, exmplotation, murder, all this for the mere enjoyment of one meal that will be over in less than 30 minutes, which most people will eat while watching TV not even minding the taste or the pleasure the meal is supposed to provide? I personnally dont see a valid point in doing this. I have ditched animal products for a while and both my body and mind feel better ever since.
