I'm sure there's ammonia in it, but Less than 14% meat? Bullshit.

This is a great video

[thegeffc]

love the video man

[ytMarkcg]

I am not impressed....very short range model of nutritional food groups and a lack of distinction between organic, CAFO, etc...This lecture is not for the thinking man...this is a dumbed down approach to the study of nutrition....If you don't know the right questions to ask you will not get the right answers....just this side of a waste of time...his delivery style is bobmbastic and very distracting from the information that he is trying to convey...

[metrx330]

@ytMarkcg I agree. Most of the lecture was based on initial research and not peer reviewed yet. The journals he quotes however are reputable so what he states should be taken seriously ... but not accepted as 100% fact. The studies in these journals are seldom wrong though so its best to stay on the side of caution. Just my opinion (check the journals out for yourself - most of the studies are easily accessed with a search engine).

how come societies of strict vegetarians such as those found in India dont have bodies free of dioxin . would not breast milk never have had dioxin

[datzfast]

how does algae avoid dioxin contamination or concentration if you will?

[metrx330]

@datzfast It doesn't. Its just that heavy metals become more concentrated as you move up the food chain (the bodies of the top eaters don't excrete heavy metals like lead, mercury or arsenic or chemicals like dioxin very well). So you find top chain fish like tuna, salmon and shark meat are the worst offenders. Fish that eat plants have far less and the plants those fish eat, the least. So algae etc, isn't dioxin free. Its just that the concentration is very low.

Wow. I have been missing something big not knowing this doctor Greger. I will share this with all my patients I can.

THANKS

[StrongAgnostic1]

Could anyone direct me to the most recent scholarly, peer-reviewed articles advocating a vegan diet over a vegetarian diet? I would greatly appreciate any help, as this has been a major concern for me personally.

[1imesub]

@StrongAgnostic1 And I forgot to mention "The China Study" by Dr. Colin Campbell. You can watch some of his lectures on youtube. One of their key studies was done on the milk protein, casein, which they proved causes cancer.

[katteninutihatten]

@1imesub i read it and found it very interesting, but it is not peer-reviewed....unfortunantly­. Though it is absolutly a good read, and a torough study.

[rabidrandy]

@De4sher Apparently Dr. Greger presents studies even when they contain evidence against vegetarianism/veganism.

[HIVisaLIE]

i love Wild Boar !!

[auggiedoggy]

Why doesn't he talk about the toxins and pesticides in the plant foods grown for our consumption. Oh silly me, I forgot this was a vegetarian convention. ;o)

[brynecarruthers]

@auggiedoggy He has discussed the health concerns of chemicals sprayed on conventionally grown produce in past reviews. The fact remains that animal products are agreed upon by researchers as being overwhelmingly the most significant source of persistent organic pollutants, including banned pesticides like dioxin and DDT, in human diets because most of these compounds are fat soluble and accumulate in the adipose tissue of animals over their lifetime (including wild/organic animal products).

[BoratOsama]

In response to auggiedoggie: Dr. Greger used to have a newsletter on latest in human nutrition. I read Dr. Greger's newsletters at that time and I was always impressed that if a study had something positive to say about meat, dairy,etc., Dr. Greger included it. I find that the top nutritional scientists in the world are in agreement on the big issues. Individual diet authors wanting to sell books, and leaders of certain dietary movements give people the impression you can pick your science.

[auggiedoggy]

I wonder if the doctor's vegan agenda had any influence on his research? Did he honestly look at all the studies rather than cherry-pick those that suited him and did he fairly represent what studies actually concluded? Dr. Greger makes it sound like the end of the world. I've found that sensationalism is an often used weapon by the vegan community.

[lomi1]

@auggiedoggy Yes Auggie. And the weapon of choice of some eugenics Elitists, sold to a trusting populace, are toxic food & medicine, as it is hidden & quite effective. I prefer the bias of a Vegan Agenda then the like of the Cancer Industry etc.

[SahrT1]
