Dr. Dean Ornish: The world now eats (and dies) like Americans

[rockcityaudio]

please look up bodybuddha.co.uk

They cure lots of illness like diabetes and Lupus and only live on donations, they are Buddhists and one named John Tao is a genius!why are doctors not so good?

[RippedtoShreds2008]

Ornish you should know better. The USDA food pyramid is the reason for our obesity problem, people thinking grains (with gluten, anti-nutrients, etc.) are super healthy, and that saturated fats are horrible.

What I see people eating on a regular basis: Grains with HFCS, soda with HFCS, etc. I think based at least anecdotally that the problem is insulin dysregulation.

[PacRimJim]

His manic talk stressed me out. Think I'll have a chocolate bar.

[biped19]

Obesity pandemic in the U.S.? People in other countries act surprised until they live here, and gain 20 pounds just by breathing. Only halfwits attribute obesity exclusively from inactivity and over eating. The truth is America, unlike other countries, does nothing to regulate the poisons like HFCS, MSG etc. in the food supply. In fact the FDA takes payoff to look the other way. When they want to fatten mice for studies they, you guessed it, feed them MSG.

[realinohio]

Comments comments .... the truth is our American diet is not good for us and it is killing us so something is wrong

[stmml02]

@LibertarianEurope It's IMPOSSIBLE for a plant-based diet to CAUSE diabetes. William David probably wasn't following it correctly, or ALREADY had the predisposition to it in his genes.

Ridiculous what people will say to keep their meat. Man up and try something healthy for once!

[LibertarianEurope]

@stmml02 Its ridiculous. What cause diabetes are carbs= most of them are plant-based foods. Homo sapiens needs a diet with animals and animal fats, and also some vegetables. Vegetarianism is 'contra naturam'. Learn about paleo diets. Grass-fed meat is 100% healthy, for example this meat contains CLA, which combats cancer. Study, please

[cdnp4p]

@LibertarianEurope THANK YOU. Finally someone knows what they are talking about. Ornish simply has no idea what hes talking about.

Paleo diet is the way to go. Its the healthiest diet and the evidence is everywhere.

[cdnp4p]

@stmml02 Let me guess, by healthy you mean rice, pasta, bread, potatoes, cereals and fruit juices. lol.

You dont know what health is.

[cdnp4p]

@stmml02 HAHA jesus man, one of your favourite books are "Skinny Bitch." How are we supposed to take you seriously?

[Nessarose1985]

@stmml02 Epic win.

[LibertarianEurope]

I agree with last comment. Dean Ornish diet is the perfect diet if you want to be diabetic and having heart disease. Dean Ornish= High Carb Diet.

A paleo diet rich in fat and moderate-low in carbs is the most scientific approach. Read GOOD CALORIES BAD CALORIES by Gary Taubes.

Dean Ornish diet is a public danger.

[MelodiesfromHeaven]

LibertarianEurope;

Have you even read Dr. Dean Ornish's book "Reversing Heart Disease"?

If you had, you would know that your comment is in error. This is not a diet, but rather a way of eating healthy. I have never seen one Doctor (as of yet), even remotely suggest that mainly eating vegetables, fruits and protein unhealthy....as you just did!

[LibertarianEurope]

@MelodiesfromHeaven @MelodiesfromHeaven Eating little fat is unhealthy, and Ornish fears fat. Cardiologist William David became diabetic with Ornish terrible diet

[burn625]

@LibertarianEurope 100% agree!

[joeschmoe2003]

Good comments from Dr. Ornish, but his diet isn't that great. Try the paleo diet, that's what I eat and I have very few health problems.

[gaucoin13]

Talk faster.

[unityemissions]

Second that. This guy talks WAY too slow LOLOL

[prisimaticvision]

He doesn't speak slowly. He speaks quickly.

[roflcopter2225]

If the world stops eating fast foods, nations and economys will crumble. We need to keep the lower and middle class smart enough to think we care, but dumb enough that they will buy the meal Biggie Size and Super Jumbo XL. By playing around with nutrition terms and serving sizes, they won't know what hit them! We need the keep them fat, and our selves rich. Keeping people obese is saving the world, the environment, and my 401k. You be quiet and eat a burger, you hear me?

[klaytonrocks]

LOL people don't know you're joking.

[roflcopter2225]

damn forgot about that comment, apparently you are right. sheesh, people can be really dumb.

[laborgrunt]

LOL i love it.

[greeksquared]

I hope everyone watches this video with extreme caution and I highly recommend those with any real interest in science look at the related videos and watch the NUTRITION PANEL with Gary Taubes. He completely rips Ornish's argument to pieces and has since written perhaps the most impressive look at diet book ever. I encourage everyone to hear him out in his book Good Calories Bad Calories.

[DianeDi]

If only we could convince people to eat pure organic fruits, veggies and grains.... no reason to buy boxes and packages, as they are just the things to make us sick and keep big corporations and big pharmaceutical companies wallowing in big profits. When eating, keep it simple, tasty and colourful.

[Jayhawkblue]

Great video, thanks for posting this!

[ParkouRob]

Whether or not he knows, this guy (on the vid) also overlooks the fact that the AIDS epidemic is a SCAM and that healthcare industries such as the NHS and the American equivalent are exactly that; MONEY MAKING MACHINES that focus on treatment of symptoms rather than the cause and prevention.

[elegantmoose]

Do you think we never landed on the moon too?

[orange400]

haha.. how low can you go..xD

idiot

[ParkouRob]

grebt: Really? Most doctors don't know the truth about foods such as meat and dairy products, of which is absolutely shocking. I recommend that everyone interested read 'Health Wars' and watch Operation Endgame by ALex Jones. Message me for more information.

Unhealthier foods are more widely available. This is no accident! Our governement(S) do not want healthy, well-informed individuals. Period.

[elegantmoose]

Aw how cute. A conspiracy theorist.

[Treknologist]

But he did not specify precisely what is wrong with the American diet that causes obesity.

[gregbt]

well duh! you dont need to be a doctor to figure right and wrong foods!

[Treknologist]

Americans needs this spelled out for them, though.

[gregbt]

no i think most people know they are eating the wrong food its just that un healthy foods seem to be more avaliable and easy. people need to get back to raw un processed foods in normal proportions. exercise and no smoking or heavey drinking. simple but not always easy.

[thunderbow]

try watching Fast Food Nation or Super Size Me. they spell it out pretty well...

[Forsure3333]

Is milk a right food? How about soy?

[UcanbeGOD]

Milk seems more and more like it is not good for you as some alternatives are. Some people have claimed that goats milk is better than cow. There is some conflicting info on soy, but how can it be worse than meat?

[tink0026]

Western Europeans seem to have adapted to drinking cows milk longer into adulthood than other people groups. If you enjoy it, use products that are reduced fat and have no added sugar or other processing. If you don't enjoy it, don't drink it.

As for soybeans, their protein comes with fewer of the problems of meat-based proteins, but they also have numerous blocking compounds that prevent uptake of certain vitamins. Enjoy in moderation and with not too much processing.

[stmml02]

@tink0026 There's always rice, coconut, or almond milk!

[cdnp4p]

@tink0026 Why would you get rid of the fat. FAT is not BAD for you. Milk from grain fed, hormone injected cows are not good but from organic, grass fed cows, the health benefits are plentiful.

I disagree with almost everything Dean Ornish says.

[sumbarine]

@cdnp4p The health benefits are the same from pasteurized milk.Calcium,Vit D other nutrients are plenty & well absorbed by most people. The cost is down * a longer shelf life. There is no evidence that pasteurized milk is bad

[LadyCopper1]

@tink0026 The enzyme for digesting milk is lactase and EVEN CALVES do not have enough lactase. There IS lactase in milk until it is pasteurized. Drinking raw, grassfed milk is something pretty much everyone can enjoy and it does have huge benefits. See realmilk.com for more info.

Soybeans, I am very skeptical of their value. IMO, I don't want to eat anything made from soy UNLESS it has been thoroughly fermented first, as used to done all over Asia, and then only in small amounts...

[sumbarine]

@LadyCopper1 There^s nothing wrong with pasteurized milk.It still has plenty of calcium,Vit D, & other nutrients your body needs no different than non pasteurized. Its longer shelf life is also a bonus. most people have zilch problem digesting pasteurized milk

[Devv77]

Hamburgers, Fries, Sodas and Pizza and Super Size meal portions found here in the US! and right! americans always need things to be spelled out , they just cant think beyond whats said .... implications, relativity, scoop-outs, undercurrents, underlying , analysis abilities are NUMB!

[Treknologist]

I assume it goes way beyond that. It may be the foods derived from today's highly-efficient food processing that happens at the molecular level.

[Devv77]

I would agree with that , the frozen food culture !
