@@JTG313’ve personally found that if I consume a lot of salt my blood pressure reaches the 140s the next day, when I reduce it, it comes back to the 110s
I’ve been Whole Foods plant based diet for 3 weeks. I’ve lost 15 pounds, my heart burn is gone, I feel so energetic, and I feel like my mood is so much more elevated. I’ve convinced my husband to start as a result of seeing me get healthier. I have 2 kids under 4 years old and now I feel I can be around for them for a very long time.
mike rizzy no. The difference is that meat eaters or w/e eat meat for nutritional benefit while vegans are vegans because of the ideology of not wanting to slaughter animals for food. Don't force your ideology on people, it is as easy as that. You like being vegan then so be it but you can't force others to adopt your way of thinking especially considering that there is no scientific evidence that going vegan is nutritionally better than being an omnivore. omnivores eat for nutrition while vegan eat for ideology. You like being a vegan then go ahead but don't castigate others for not adopting your way of thinking.
proved my point, this is pure dissonance to factual information. caveman mentality. meat outside of wild game and indigenous wild cultures is unnatural, not progress.
mike rizzy that's your ideology, pure and simple. Your opinion and not fact let alone the truth. You just decided to be a zealot about it for no particular reason other than satiating your personal feeling of superiority. You are free to think whatever you want but do not force it upon others. There is no scientific platform for you to stand on. It is that simple. Natural? Unnatural? Who are you to say??? Where is this coming from? Nowhere.....
you want science? go to any random vegan restaurant, vs any random meat friendly eatery, just looking at physical appearance it's obvious who's superior. Since you can't discern any science in the above video and type nothing but lobbyist rhetoric, i'm sure the simple logic scientific platform i stand on is way over your head.
"It's hard to cherry-pick when there's one cherry." Can we just take a minute to appreciate how perfectly worded this interview is. Breath of fresh af air.

I agree that everyone cares about their heath for the most part, but for me if being vegan was only for myself I would give myself "cheat days." Even for the environment, which was my original reason for going vegetarian, i would probably have a cheat day here and there. But seeing the animal cruelty made me go vegan 100%. That is what sticks with me all the time. That is why I never eat any of the cupcakes and cookies people bring into my job. I don't see it as food, I see it as cruelty. Different people are effected by different things for sure, but for me it was seeing what the animals go through that made it so easy to make the change, because it wasn't about me anymore.
The only doctors coming around are the ones that can see the millions being made selling books and DVD's. You can buy Greger's off his 'charity' website, cost you about $1000 to buy them all. He's laughing all the way to the bank, aAs are the others, each of whom have at least 4 books on the subject for sale. Why not just 1? easy, repeat custom is best custom. money for old rope. Shame he hasn't got 1 piece of actual proof and every study shows his lies.
proof? it's simple really... just adopt a plant based diet yourself and you will feel the proof. you will not need any studies to prove how good you feel. and if you happen to be pre diabetic and have hypertension like i did, you will no longer need those meds as those symptoms will disappear. give it an HONEST try. i promise you will feel better than you have in years. YOU will be the only proof you need.
M1ggins Sadly some people and organizations don't respect your opinion unless you have written and had a book published. The test is to see how often they attempt to plug their books.
Steven it actually does prove something. 30 years vegan and still having the motivation to work out and not be depressed is an achievement. If you eat meat its easy to be healthy.
I'm vegan, not making much efforts to be healthy, and I'm doing fine. Never went to the gym though, I always have been a lazy bitch. My mood is better than it used to, but I don't know if vegansim really played a role in there. I'm also healthier and loosing weight (I'm overweight so that's good) but maybe that's just because of all the knowledge I gathered when I started going vegan. Being a healthy vegan is a piece of cake actually, once you have some basic vegan nutrition knowledge.
"It's hard to cherry pick when there is only one cherry!" and "Of course I'm scared of dying, I still have a lot of work to do" Great interview, thank you both!
Eating a plant based diet is truly the cure for all ills. Our bodies are amazing, healing machines but you have to give it the right tools to function optimally. My family and I have been plant based for over 2 years now and have gone from being tired, sluggish, overweight and just plain not happy, to being vibrant, healthy, happy people that are full of energy! I could not be more grateful for finding this lifestyle!
The Whole Food Plant Based Cooking Show this is not factual. I’m a vegan but it wrong both factually and morally to claim a plant based diet can cure all ill.
+Robert Iniguez There are videos regarding oxalates and kidney stones on Dr. Greger's website. nutritionfacts.org/questions/what-are-the-hazards-of-oxalates/
Dr. Greger has probably saved more lives than any physician in history! He is the champion of evidence-based nutrition advice. A true warrior, and funny to boot. Thanks!
No Greger haven't achieved nothing worth to be written into history books and will be forgotten one day. You can't compare him to the physicians who have actually saved the most lives ever in history. For example Jonas Salk, Alexander Fleming, Rune Elmqvist and Karl Landsteiner.
I’m a family Doctor Who runs the homeless services for a not for profit in New York City. I am trying to help my clients and the soup kitchens where I see patients to go plant-based. It breaks my heart to see so many people on many medications never really getting better knowing that the major cause is food and lifestyle related. I have been acculturated to be the agent of the drug company But they are the only ones making real money. Dr. Gregor has given me so much free information on his website and I really appreciate his work. I have seen two of my housed clients reverse their diabetes on a plant based diet.
As a Physician and Dietitian this is a simple answer. You go to a DOCTOR for MEDICAL advice and you go to a DIETITIAN for NUTRITIONAL advice. Doctors don't receive enough education in proper dietetics to be giving advice. Two separate fields of study, if you ask a doctor about dietary needs you will get an answer from ignorance.
Here in Australia, our so called "qualified nutritional experts" warn against veganism as being a nutrient deficient diet. We have also had 5 prime ministers (presidents) in the last few years. Thank god no one really cares because the beaches are a constant source of soul renewal.
Yotam Sho True, it again falls back on education and the quality. Where did they receive their education and who funded it. You need to find one that specializes in more of a plant-based style
Thank god for Dr Greger. I cannot thank this bloke enough. Nutritionfacts.org has opened my eyes to the lies and dodgey behaviour of those in the meat, dairy, egg and pharma industries.
9 MILLION PEOPLE DIE A YEAR FROM MEAT RELATED COMPLICATIONS....AND AND TRILLIONS OF ANIMALS HAVE BEEN TORTURED FOR THIS. ,EXCELLENT VIDEO VERY HONEST AND NEEDED XO
When he mentioned the lawsuit from Atkin's then said, "Well, he dropped dead before they could take me to court, then went bankrupt" I just about died myself. I almost feel bad with how hard I laughed. Almost...
Unfortunately most people prefer to live a shorter life to enjoy junk food, not knowing that they are affecting the quality of life that they are living right now.
Exactly! This is my bf who is suffering from heartburn, inflammation and muscle pain from sports. You can feel more energetic, happier and enjoy tasty vegan food!
It's called "personal choice", just how it's personal choice for a person to gouge down 5 boxes of pizzas and guzzle 3 gallons of coca cola every day and get super-unhealthy. I don't care how many facts about how unhealthy meat is you throw at me. I. Fucking. Love. Eating. Meat. Veganism is a choice, not an obligation. (:
Antonio Maria Fiscarelli exactly. My boyfriend says "oh so you think that if you go vegan you ll live forever? You re still gonna die" and i roll my eyes.. yes i will die, everyone does, but when it comes to the quality of life, i dont wanna be elderly and in pain for 10 20 30 years before i die! Smh
E.G.White wrote about this way of eating more than 160 years ago and encouraged a large group of people to stop eating meat in the mid 1800's as well as diary and eggs. She is the one who advanced this way of thinking long before anyone else talked about it. She talked about meat killing you and the problem with the way animals were being raised and their health and how it effects people. People laughed at her and now it is all true. All from a woman who had less than a third grade education.
In the short time I have switched to plant based foods I'm in remission from Cancer, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes. & working on reversing fibromyalgia. All the Drs I saw thru my battle of 6 years fighting for my life none of them told me anything about it.. I had to research it for myself. Now I'm on a mission of sharing this with everyone around me & saving lives. We can do this together & spread the word. We owe it to our children & the poor animals we keep slaughtering.
Hi Jade, you may find some further great vegan information from medical medium on Fibromyalgia if you haven't already stumbled upon it. I'm sure you'll solve it :)
he not he full of shit he paid and bought for by the system that wants people geting ill and weak and what a better way to go about this than to feed people deceptive lies about there diet he doesnt give two f*cks about your health just the big fat pay check he geting for feeding us all misinformation
@@darrenmcintosh8471 interesting. Or maybe it would be if there were a few punctuation points. Which system are you saying has bought him? I would be very interested to know.
“Lives are in the balance!” So true. I feel my own life was saved by Dr. Greger. My health was not great at age 42, I had no idea how my body would last another 10, 20, 30+ years. Now I’m 44, 75lbs lighter, full of energy, and feel better now than I did as a teenager. I no longer deal with disordered eating which was another issue I’d had for decades. I eat healthy food until I’m full and it lasts me until the next meal! My husband finally joined me as well, he has a family history of heart attacks and is nearing the age his dad was when he had one. He feels his life has probably been saved as well. So grateful for Dr. Greger and everyone working to get this info out!!
Klaus is a great interviewer, his interviews with Greger and Barnard are what made me become vegan. He plays devils advocate in most interviews bc he knows his audience and knows what questions need to be addressed to open people to veganism, and it's clearly working. Thanks.
not really. he is the look of ill health. i would have immediate concern for any one of my friends who looked as pasty and dry mouthed and weak looking as this poor man.
Feldenkrais with Alfons won't happen. Meat,dairy, pork associations will bury that idea. We are going up against big money. Big pharma and medical profession will downplay the obvious.
Dr. Gregor is a good guy, an honest guy. Really appreciate his candor, especially his answer the last question in the interview. But he is absolutely right on all fronts. Same wiht McDougall and Klaper, and Essylstein.
i dunno why people are complaining that he doesnt show more of the ethical side of veganism i thinks hes smart not to do so. people give a damn about their health more than animals and nowadays people are numb.. if people stop eating meat and dairy naturally animals will become free its cause and effect. you dont go to a dying person advertising veganism ETHICALLY and expect them to give a damn about animal lives where their on their death bed. talk to the people about what they wanna hear they will wanna go vegan if u go that route
If he talked about the ethics all the time people might think that he is lying to push a vegan agenda. Honestly if someone said "this vegan says meat is bad for you" they will dismiss him much quicker.
I am a vegan activist who does constantly use the moral argument. I absolutely agree with you. I think there are multiple ways to approach influencing people and the more people he inspires to go vegan through health the more people will be more willing to look into the ethics of it when they aren't eating hypocritical foods
You are so wrong you know , all these so called foods ,crap being flown from China , then too factory to be made into " meat" ha ha . The fields without animals will turn into deserts . Please look further than your noses !!
I have been a meat eater all my life, have fasted for 5 years every week 36 hours, and try to have organic meats, grass fed. It is very confusing as I have read "The big fat surprise" "Fat for fuel" and "the bullet proof diet" Dr Gerber is so passionate and clear on his subject and I really feel in my heart that this is the way to go.. Hope I can make the transition. Will try to wean myself out by having more fish.
I really really like this Dr. Michael Greger. Not only is he willing to share this important information I like how he explains the science and the findings. He makes it easy for me to understand and he’s funny too. Thank you for all of your hard work Dr. Greger! 🌱🌱
Hannah Montoya yeah, it’s so irritating because people are dying meanwhile they can reverse the disease, but the hospitals get money through prescribing drugs. More people could be living if we had the education 💗💗💗
You're a weird bitch, saw your video. Past life? No wonder you're a clueless vegan. B12, k, D3, certain amino acids, cholesterol, CANNOT BE FOUND IN PLANTS
Cindy Orcutt, it's hard for the gov't. to guide keep us from eating the wrong foods. God helps those who help themselves. We have to care enough about our own health and the health of our loved ones, to choose what is healthy.
cindy o Our government practices Keynesian economics. They are not gonna put down bad eating habits, if it's going to affect jobs. That's why real estate, tort law, business laws, tax laws and Medicare/ health care rules are so complex. We have to hire a myriad of people to figure it out for us. That creates more jobs. Bad eating gives us the beef,pork,dairy and processed food industry. Hundreds of diet books and businesses, doctors selling drugs for pharmacies.
@@patsycav are you not aware that the FDA has sold out to corporate interest? are you not aware that Donald Trump and our government has sold out for money? The American taxpayer pays about 14 trillion dollars in federal taxes every year. Why isn't this money going to help people? If anything, we should get correct information about the food we eat and the water we drink. The water in America is toxic almost everywhere. Whose responsibility is that? Almost everyone's food and water are so toxic that it is slowly killing Americans. How about Monsanto? Almost all our politicians have sold up to them. Do you know what round-up does to the body? It's in most of the food Americans eat.
@@dancindavey1515 Read my response to Pat kavanaugh and tell me what you think. Do you have any awareness about how corporate interests are poisoning our food because they pay our government elected or appointed officials enough to look the other way? what do you know about glyphosate and Roundup in our food? I am in my 70's and started having severe health issues about 20 years ago. My holistic doctor had me start eating organic food and I got a reverse osmosis water system. he helped me to rebuild my immune system, which had been destroyed by the food I was eating in the water I was drinking.The food and water in our society are all toxic, due to the money that our politicians receive from corporations. They allow the corporations to either neglect or poison our food and water for profit. If you think you won't have health issues soon, you better wake up.
This was so great...Thank you so much for having Dr. Greger on! I'm a vegan and will share this with my family ( a few have diabetes). I've been waiting for a really good video like this, kudos to you for asking all the pertinent questions that no one else asks.
I think this is by far my favorite Greger interview, you asked great questions, I loved hearing him speak from the heart and with passion. It makes so much sense, I feel driven myself, I am currently in school, I hope to do similar work and educate myself in this topic. Vegans may not get all the money and fame like other groups, but we are by far the most passionate. When you see yourself and others heal you just want to share the message!!! Keep working hard everyone and fight the good fight!! Thanks Plant based News! This was wonderful and I'm sharing it with my friends.
Thank you, Dr Greger, for mentioning Dr Scott Stoll. what a fantastic guy!!! I had never heard of him. So glad to find a Christian doctor promoting God's foods. Yay!!! :)
Great interview! Great, probing questions and nobody speaks with more passion and authority than Dr. Greger. I didn't really have time to watch a 30-minute interview this morning, but I couldn't stop watching!
Dr. Greyer is a SAINT he puts out what we all need to know. It is up to people to just learn from him. l've switched 3 months ago God l wish it would have been many years ago. I can see how better l feel and yes even look better, weight is reaching normal my labs all perfect, no more meds. l only wish l would have seen one of his videos sooner, bought all his books. l try to teach others what is good for them, but everyone needs to decide on their own if they want to live healthier or start to die while alive. When l didn't need my blood pressure meds the drug store was fighting with me to keep taking it, it took my doctor to call them and demand they would stop. They didn't want to let this cash cow go even if it would kill me. Now that is when l saw the drug company's greed. THANK YOU DR.GREYER l even tell my family doctor as well about you to help her advise others. Thank you from Lynn S.
They also get pressured and molded into something other than they meant to be I suspect, after reading how their training basically conditions them to have little sympathy for their patients, and to follow the agenda of large profitable drug companies.
I became a vegan when a coworker who has a small farm brought in a magazine about raising farm animals. There was a picture of this lady petting a cow on its head and I swear that cow was tilting his head in ecstasy and smiling. It blew me away. I think about that every time I even consider eating meat. Just no...these are living creatures with social capacity, joy, life. There are plenty of things to eat that meet nutritional requirements. And it finally sunk in that I was eating dead carcasses and contributing to cruelty. No thanks. I've actually saved a ton of money, food prep is simple freeing up time and my health is 100% better.
I had a couple cows and yeah, they can be playful and cute. If anyone is going to have cows or animals though, it should be tiny farms and factory animal farms ought to be abolished.
Going vegan changed my life. From suffering from severe eczema since childhood, to having clear skin and losing 20 lbs in the process! #plantsforlife 🙏🏽🌱
Gracias por los que hacen la traducción al español si bien ayudan a que uno también practique el inglés esto facilita que veamos que los que estamos en contra de toda la industria ganadera ,láctica , farmacéutica de explotación de mutilación,violación, esclavitud ,experimentación hacia los animales hablamos un mismo idioma con consciencia ,,, EMPATÍA RESPETO POR TODO SER SINTIENTE!!!
This is the best interview that I have ever heard on promoting a whole food plant based (healthy vegan) diet. Dr Michael Greger is my hero. His writings, lectures, website and books have changed my life from a sickly, overweight cancer patient to a cancer free, healthy and vibrant life. My weight became normal, my blood pressure is now normal, my cholesterol fell to below average, my GFR improved, and my oncologist can no longer find any sign of cancer. In fact he has declared me completely cured. In my opinion Dr Greger deserves a Nobel prize in medicine for his amazing work.
Had my doubts about going plant based. Saw "Forks over knives" years ago. Did some vegan days as part ongoing healthy plan. The game changer came this spring when my heart finally gave up on my unhealthy lifestyle. Six months later I watched "Game Changers" ...next day I went vegan... Day two on this trip
I'm ready!! I'm already a vegan, i've been for five weeks, i plan to do this for the rest of my life, so now i want to be a raw til 4 vegan. :) Love you Dr. You're such an inspiration to my generation.
@@JohnSmith-tw3rw Not all vegans eat well. Beer is allowed in small amounts because of alcohol. Vegans can eat junk food. When someone says plant based which would exclude shugar, oil and salt.
Just keeps getting better as it goes on - and so well filmed too! Trying to share everywhere, great to capture him being so passionate about the injustices in public information...
Facebook is for old people ? are you kidding my 11 year old niece has one that's not young enough for you? older people shouldn't get the news too? what a useless thing to say ......
Heyitsme It has nothing to with me, ma'am. "Useless"? Facts are facts. Social media is extremely dynamic. What was hot & popular yesterday, is old today. "The age breakdown varies quite significantly from country to country. In the U.S., the average Facebook user in the U.S. was 40.5 years old, while it's 29 years old in Lebanon. Fewer than 10 percent of U.S. users are 17 years or younger, and even fewer are 65 or older, but 65 percent are 35 or older." While I wouldn't say 40 is old, it is middle aged. Your niece and her friends are more likely to use one of the more popular and recent SM sites.
I think the doctor underestimates how much BIG PHARMA depends on the meat and dairy industry to keep the rates of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes rates INCREASING in the US.
He knows full well, he explains the interplay between these industries keeping each other profitable. People are ignorant and think animal products are healthful, they supply profit to the industry, they get sick, they go to big pharma who continues to tell them to live their lifestyle and to take these pills, surgeries, procedures and so on. The people get sicker and everyone wins except for the consumers.
My doctor looks at my bloodwork and says "you get plenty of protein from your bloodwork" and then I tell them I am Vegan. They then say, you would have insufficient protein call me a liar. But my bloodwork says I am getting all the protein I need from being Vegan.
Its because its not the norm. If it's the norm and everyone in this world is vegan. Then all the foodstuff available will be only plant based and we will all live happily ever after (human and animals together)
Thanks for such a great interview. I think people would convert by listening to Dr Gregor's passion and enthusiasm alone leaving the health benefits and zero harm to animals as an added bonus! Keep up the good work.
