...fail on their diets because they still mixing fats/oils with carbohydrates, I did this in the beginning of my vegan diet, then I did some research and the breakthrough came when I start eating just fruit for most of the day and salads or vegetables in the evening and fats like nuts (nut milk) as a last meal of the day always separately from fruit/vegetable's sugars. Since then I never have a problem with my health or energy level. I still like Daniel anyway, he's hot!
I am raw vegan right now (for about a year and a half) and feel very good like never before in my life. While ago after listen to Daniel's lectures I tried to add some raw dairy and meat to my diet and I've got very sick, depressed, tired and got "foggy brain", my energy lowered and felt very "heavy". My throat hurts and got full of mucus. I had to remove dairy and meat from my diet and then my health and energy went back to balance. This is just my personal experience. I think many vegans...
@nyclear agreed! I experienced the same thing, incredible results as a raw vegan for the first 2 years and then total fall out and yes i was eating more fruit than i could handle etc...If i had been adding organic eggs to my smoothies & grass feds now and again, i'd be golden. I'm still for primarily raw fruits & veg based diet personally, just with the right animal products on the side. I also prob part with Vitalis in assuming ALL our nutritional answers are in the past. Juicing for example!
That would be interesting @TheCalisurferdude that's because Lou Corona eats alot of healthy fats, fermented & sprouted foods. I guess i'm in a small minority that thinks it's possible to thrive on raw vegan (albeit a minority) or hunter/gatherer. I personally feel high raw fruit & veg is a solid path whatever your choose.
@astronautagogo There is always an exception to the rule and Lou might be that. As a wholistic health practitioner I can tell you I have seen a lot of raw food lifestyle people develop illnesses around year 2 or 3. Eating lots of raw veggies is a great thing for everyone, yes. But I hate to say it but Vitalis is right from every example I have seen minus maybe some rare cases.
@nyclear then you need to look into it some more, watching 'forks over knives' is a good start and maybe read the china study and please dont say that a ten year study has been debunked by someone who spent a few nights working on it aka denise minger, look at the study first
Former raw vegan here. Started off great, ended in disaster. Thank goodness for people like Vitalis. Science and history is not on the side of vegans.
@astronautagogo by his own admission daniel basically tried to survive on coconut oil and kale, nobody is going to get far on that no matter how dedicated they are
Daniel Vitalis, why didn't you just eat raw dairy products like milk, cheese, eggs, butter, and honey to revert from vegan to vegetarianism? There is no reason to kill animals.
after 20 years as a vegan my health also was collapsing its very scary my b12 is only at 230 my dr told me it needs to be at lest 700, my cholesterol is very high and im suffering from nutritional neuropathy, what vegans dont understand is that its not sustainable long term no matter how!
@kimxxxyyy if your cholestoral was that high you were doing something wrong, there are plenty of long term vegans / fruitarians / raw & high raw who are thriving and there are plenty of doctors who not only live the same lifestyle but promote it to their patients to reverse and cure many long term 'incurable' diseases, c'mon people lets not tar all vegans with the same brush just because you got it wrong
There are lots of ways to be vegan, good and bad. You don't see obese people saying 'I was wrong about meat eating', they just blame the composition of their current diet, not the ENTIRE meat eating diet. A vegan could eat a poor diet become incredibly unhealthy, and yet everyone listens when they blame the whole vegan lifestyle rather than their own diet. I don't know what Daniel was eating, but I think this is an important point.
A little food for thought.... I studied anthropology at university and our brain developed significantly when we introduced meat into our diets. So basically if we never ate meat we would not be able to even think about the complexity of a vegan diet, or any diet for that matter.... WEIRD
@HappierHealthierYou Are you familiar with right/left brain science and the theory of stalling of brain development (and subsequent shrinking of brain size) since humans moved from the forests and a fruit based diet similar to other great apes to the savannah and a diet of meat and starches?
@brianv00 when i studied anthro at university we studied how introducing meat to the diet directly correlated with a bigger brain and more complex thought and tools making, said to be the discovery that lead us to complex thought and emotions, so without meat your could not even be concious of a vegan diet...weird huh?
I think posting negative comments about Daniel just makes you guys sound ignorant. Daniel is sharing his journey and knowledge, believe in it, support it or post some thought provoking points to discuss. The personal attacksare just sad, especially in an era where we need good information sharing to promote change
@Juliacianci "sharing his journey and knowledge" By trying to capitalize off the cruel rape and torture of innocent beings? By trying to leverage man's stupidity? I mean really, deer placenta? Why doesn't he recommend human placenta? Why not human female menstruations? This is greedy sickness, not a journey.
I am starting to feel like all these guys are in it for the money. Raw Food World, David Wolfe, all of them! It makes me sick to think so, because they promote health and love, but it turns out they're in it for the money. It's all about money these days. ugh!
Wow, Daniel Vitalis looks pretty bloated, full of mucus, water weight, and sat/fat. I am sure he is making lots of dough with his quarter hour of semi-fame, but it seems like he is making doughnuts out of all of it ;)
@OrderHigher Wow, still just more hate and rancor. Was looking for something more intelligent or cogent, but end up here with more mindless, vacuous spewing.
@OrderHigher "You're such a fraud." Fraud? Dooood, I do not rape, torture or eat animals. I am always clear and consistent about that. Nor do I allow others to lie to me unchallenged that raping, torturing and eating animals is decent and healthy. Say what you want, but a fraud I am not. Perhaps anyone who gives your mind glimpses of its own lies is considered a fraud??
How come DV is fat and out of shape? How come he knocks a veg diet yet recently a 100 year old vegetarian became the worlds oldest marathoner EVER lol!
DV is so out of shape, a fucken 100 year old dude has more stamina than him.
@cpilfold420 He's an endurance athlete, that's what they look like. He's also incredibly athletic and fit. If you'd like to admire some more buff physiques check out vegan body buidling(dot)com
Absolute nonsense. I've never heard of anyone having cholesterol deficiency. People here in US die of cholesterol. 39% of population in US is B12 deficient. Are all of them vegan? No way.
The more the guy talks, the more I realize that he either knows nothing about nutrition, or maybe he so clever that he talks nonsense in order to sell his own products.
@veganchica81 Actually, DV and DW disagree on a whole load of things. Totally different agendas. Both sell products: big deal. They still offer a great deal of useful, FREE information that can be applied by anyone who wants to apply it.
@veganchica81 Only if you have a poor understanding of how committed they are to their ethics. If you earnestly believe the PETA propaganda- that all animal husbandry is 'rape', that milking cows is 'stealing' etc... then there's no point arguing with you. What you, and millions of other vegans, have failed to understand is that not all animal products are sourced cruelly and/or from factory farmed environments. Both Vitalis and Wolfe are COMMITTED to ethical eating and medicine sourcing.
@Lakkhesis1976 That is a joke. Humane killing. I don't like PETA but I sure don't think there is an ethical way to eat animals. Aside from ethics, I find it to be unhealthy and not needed. What do you say about him selling $8 bottle 'RAW' water. I'm sorry you and I are not going to agree on his game. I think he is a scam artist dressed as a hippie.
@veganchica81 Humane killing is NOT a joke. In many ways eating animal products from ethical sources is a far more powerful stance than avoiding it altogether. If you don't want to participate in 'killing' then cool, but lets not pretend it's for either your health or the health of the environment. As for RAW water, it's a free market. And it looks like you've neglected to appreciate Vitalis' 'find a spring' website, and his educational videos about sourcing your own water, all provided FREE.
Living in Ann Arbor Michigan, I definately believe that food has its seasons, and that diet needs to change with the seasons. Fruits and vegetables are readily and freshly available at local farms and at my parents house from mid march till the end of October. During the summer, we can foods, dehydrate and ferment foods to save for when plants aren't growing. So I dont eat as much meat in the warmer seasons, but I do depend on meat a bit more around the end of September.
Whats wrong mushy little patato? Scared to face the truth? Veganism doesn't make logical sense. Stop trying to control animals by pretending to be a know it all selfish human.
Btw. vegans are bitches. I can lift 10 vegan men with my arms
Interesting mate, but I think the China Study probably makes most of it moot. Additionally, from what I heard you weren't very good at following a raw vegan diet Daniel!! :)
Whether you are a vegan or not, eating well is important. Veganism can work, it worked for me! And it healed some I know. However, it doesn't work for everyone. We can all be healthy human beings is we try to eat as locally and organically as possible. And you can eat that way if your vegan, non-vegeatarian, raw foodist, macrobiotic diet, red blood cell diet, whole foods diet etc.
he mentions at 7:25 'diet not physiologically designed for our species'... I dont think you can get worse than the SAD when it comes to nourishing growing children. We are seeing the results every day by terrible diet (in kids) OCD, short attention span, restlessness, anger issues, no empathy, low IQ and obesity of course.
@gringolazlo Did you not listen? Daniel Vitalis isnt supporting the SAD diet. SAD diet includes refined sugars, processed starches, and abused corn fed chemicals meat and dairy. God you completely missed the point
@dudemandingo11 actually you completely missed mine. If the raw vegan diet isnt designed for humans and we shouldnt eat it.. then the SAD certainly isnt. He should focus on that before chastising the raw vegan scene. Sure, I know he's not a SAD eater.
@gringolazlo He does in fact focus on helping people get off of the SAD diet, it's just in this one particular video the entire point was his opinion on raw veganism
Disagree about the vitamin c as I think most of us are chronically deficient because we don't make our own. Vit c keeps our blood vessels healthy and with low vit c they start to disintegrate so cholesterol stops up the damage. Agree cholesterol is needed but I'd like to have known what his diet was really like to become that deficient. I still don't think we need to eat animals to survive.
lol, people on here get so defensive on this whole veganism issue. Which is exactly the reason why we need people like Daniel to rattle people's paradigms, especially about things like diet.
Instead of shunning Daniel, educate yourself on the issue from the other perspective... it's not really research when you only focus on one side of the story. Daniel backs his claims with historical and anthropological evidence that really makes his case difficult to dispel.
@mikek241 Agreed. Most vegans here just cite anecdotal evidence and provide no proof. Most likely they have only been vegan for a year or two, and haven't yet encountered the effects of chronic nutrient deficiencies.
@megatrollwarlock All the vegans I know are very healthy. It's the meat eaters who have all the health issues. I haven't eaten meat or dairy in 11 years and I feel great, no deficiencies here buddy. You've been brainwashed into thinking you need meat to be healthy. You have to be strong and fight back against the axis of ignorance. Don't let it control your life. Don't listen to salesmen like DV; they just want your money. The more paranoid you are, the more money they can make off of you.
@1imesub Probably not, I just think many of your "friends" cling to their identities as "vegans" and don't want to admit that they have problems But sure, there could be a rare few people with genes that allow them to absorb enough nutrients to stay healthy by eating only plant-based foods. I did try the vegan thing and felt horrible. I became underweight, always had canker sores, muscle twitches due to mineral deficiencies, no energy, brain fog and basically I just couldn't function normally.
@1imesub Raw food veganism isn't for everybody. In the beginning it felt great, but after a while it got worse. Eating only raw food is a good way to detox but for most people it doesn't work long-term. Sorry buddy, you're the idiot.
@megatrollwarlock I never said I was a "raw food vegan." Just said I hadn't eaten meat or dairy in 11 years and feel great... Sorry buddy, you're still the idiot.
@1imesub C'mon, are you telling me that all other Raw Food gurus are docotrs and are not trying to sell you anything. You gotta make a living, that's all DV is doing, he's not tricking anyone or forcing anybody to buy his products, he believes in what his makes and wants to give that choice to his consumers.
If you want to direct your anger righteously, how about wal-mart, how about monsanto, factory farming, corporate mono-cropping...now these are industries worthy of criticism.
@1imesub Actually, all I did was respond to a comment. But to answer your question, I support Daniel b/c I have come to agree with much of what he stands for. I also support the right for anybody to make a living by providing a product or service to an obliging consumer -- I don't think anybody should be ostracized for that.
I'm also a hardcore Ron Paul supporter lol -- check him out man, you'll like what you hear. Isn't there anybody that you tend to look up to...?
@mikek241 I don't follow any health gurus, though I do sorta 'follow' the advice of Dr. McDougall and Dr. Esselstyn. They are real doctors with years of practice and research who support a plant based diet free of any animal products. I already ate a vegan diet when I began watching their lectures, but I've learned a lot from them and modified a few things a result.
You should check out "Make Yourself Heart Attack Proof" by Dr. Esselstyn. Might change your mind about things.
@1imesub ..thanks for the recommendation,but like yourself I've done extensive research on the subject (I didn't change my whole diet philosophy just by listening to DV)and I've come to a different conclusion.
Here's one for you if you like: "Good Calories, Bad Calories" by Gary Taubes (Science Journalist),you'll be surprised to see just how well documented his book is,with over 150 pages of references citing scientific journal articles spanning the course of an entire century. Really good read
@mikek241 I'll take a look. I'm always open to new discoveries, findings, or whatever.
Just to clarify, the "Heart Attack Proof" lecture is on youtube, so if you're the least bit curious about the new thinking on coronary disease, just search for it and watch it. It's about an hour long, but it made me cut oil out of my diet almost completely. Even olive oil can damage your arteries. Full of interesting facts I never would've imagined (80% of Americans have coronary artery disease by age 20).
I respected him and was listening until he pulled that 'child abuse' thing. he should be careful what he says when his mouth opens. Fine everything else is ok, but at least let parents raise their kids on fruits and vegetables. Jeez, if that's child abuse, what about feeding children fast food? Don't single out vegans or vegetarians, we have an uphill battle already- against the culture
I would LOVE to see Daniels blood work! Its funny how he promotes eating animals, but his blood work is no where to be found. Is Harley cholesterol deficient? NO! His blood work is on his channel, educate yourself and stop dancing around questions. Every single question Daniel is asked, it takes him sooo long to answer basic questions! He obviously figures that if he uses a bunch of big words and rambles on, people wont notice that he doesn't answer! hahahah TOO FUNNY!
@megantherawvegan Do you no-comprende that orthodox bloodwork is a) based on AVERAGES in an unhealthy culture, b) is designed to indicate the presence of disease/dysfunction and therefore c) does not have the capacity to reflect levels of human health? Why bother with such arbitrary nonsense? The last lot of bloodwork I saw from Haaaaaaaaarley showed *low cortisol levels*, which he BOASTED about but that could actually indicate adrenal dysfunction/subclinical cholesterol 'deficiency'!
In fact, even secular science has proven our atmosphere had a higher & cleaner oxygen content & fresher water. All produce had original genes species, and animal flesh a stronger genetic structure. Compared to modern man these men were super human ! From a CREATIONIST point of view man genetically becomes weaker due to sin consciousness and it's affects at the quantum level. A man's sin trickles down to the 3rd and even 4th generation becoming more polluted. Resulting in greater depravity.
I agree there is a balance in life one must consider. I am convinced that the majority of our foods should be fruits veggies herbs nuts seeds & legumes which should be germinated and 20-30 percent safe clean flesh. Coming from a CREATION point of view original man ate a "vegan" diet, then afterwards introduced flesh. I've been noticing a type of religion developing with this whole higher consciousness thing via the raw food genre. Original man had higher consciousness, intelligence & stronger.
I really appreciate this video. We're all learning through experience, a better teacher than any book or degree. It's refreshing to see someone freely let go of allegiance to a concept, even if it means admitting that they misunderstood something in the past. That takes humility & courage, 2 traits not often displayed or respected in our society. The us vs. them mentality serves no one. Sincere truth seeking leads to the real answers. I trust that Daniel is a teacher who shares from the heart.
This is what is wrong with the raw food movement: Spokespeople who are absolute beginners when it comes to nutrition. Kevin, why do you choose to publish interviews with people like this guy and that Frederic Patenaude character (who made it abundantly clear that he is CLUELESS when speaking about enzymes - this kid seems to think enzymes only have to do with the digestion of food... wow.)? Seriously, with the blunders these guys are making, should they be giving people advice on ANYTHING?
"speciehood" is a good one;) way to go...you completely distracted all of us from your bullshit with the history lesson from gr. 10 anthropology. wicked!.................DIE
OMG YOUR AN IDIOT! our body makes its own cholesterol you dont need to stuff your face with meat and get heart disease and die in order to make enough cholesterol... whoever does not see passed this guy's bullshit needs to take even a basic nutrition class to see that he's bullshitting. goodness.
Have a look at the Headveg youtube site and there are a lot of real MD doctors who give lectors about the vegan diet. Daniel has no medical experience and people actually believe what he has to say. Daniel is a salesman who is only interested in selling his products and not really telling people the truth.
Raw Vegan here not suffering from any deficiencies, thanks for throwing your load of crap onto youtube though. I'm not saying everyone can thrive on raw vegan, but I've become more energetic than ever. Stop generalizing buddy, everything I've watched of this Daniel guy so far is just misinformed crap, please do not state opinion as if it is fact Mr. Vitalis!
Oh man these comments. lolcano. Get off your high horses.
After four years of experimenting with varying degrees of vegetarianism, I find that a mostly lacto-ovo vegetarian diet rich in fresh fruits and lots of vegetables, with small portions of meat a few times a month, works just swell for me and my body.
Maybe instead of pushing our panacea diets onto everybody else we should discuss the concept of moderation and a balanced, diverse diet. Support local farmers if you want to be ethical.
yeah, so when everyone's dieing of a heart attack, let's give 'em more cholesterol. yeah, and every guy wants a super hairy body and ugly fatty mucousy muscles. eat your animal protein guys, your sure on your way to feeling great, being healthy, and spending almost all your money on medical bills/pills because fruits bad. and so is veggies. ------------please folks, go raw vegan. Save yourself, the animals, and the plantet.
My vegan high raw son (age 8) is never gets sick. His class get tested on eyesight - my son get best eyesight, reading test - my son best, gate program (gifted and talented) - my son is only one from his class qualify. His teacher told me that she never meet so smart and intelligent child.
What if people eat what they feel is right for their own self? For most, meat & other animal products are a major source for nutrition. I do ask this, though: How many of the vegans out "there" are growing your own calories? And how many of you are against industrial, tilled agriculture? Meat can be raised in a way that REGENERATES degraded land. No cultivation method of annual grains and legumes can do this, so far as I know or have researched.
I think that when you look at what is killing westerners, you will find it is ingredients that exist in animal products. Chief among these is Cholesterol and animal fat. Studies show that Methionine restriction is responsible for the beneficial effects of caloric restriction for longevity. A vegan diet eliminates cholesterol and minimizes Methionine at the same time phyto-sterols provide all of the building blocks for hormones our bodies need to generate.
#6. You assume people become vegan or vegetarian because of suffering. That's not always true. I became vegan because I never made the connection that meat = animals. I didn't want to be responsible for killing animals. Hence I gave up eating them/their products. It wasn't until after I became vegan that I saw they suffered on TOP of it. And when you say "some" you really mean "most". I think it's pretty safe to say 95+% of animals today are factory farmed, and that's probably closer to 99%.
#5. HAHAHAHAH I laughed out loud literally at the child abuse comment. Funny he doesn't mention McDonald's as child abuse, yet veganism should be one? Yeah right. So no tribe of people EVER (I find this hard to believe) has eaten only plants, okay. But ancient Olympians in Greece actually did eat a primarily plant-based diet. You act like it's some sort of radical thing to cut out a very small minor part of our diet. Is it an experiment? Sure. So was eating meat for the first time.
#4. As for our species always eating meat, I haven't researched this, so I'm not likely to take your word, but let's assume what you're saying is true. No other species but humans have consumed dairy, and it's a relatively new thing. If humans lived for 200 000 years, yet only 8000 (according to him) of them included dairy, that's about 4% of our entire lifetime here. That means 96% of our species' lifetime has NOT included dairy...Was osteoporosis a problem 10 000 years ago?
#3. I do kind of feel this way, hard to admit but I don't know if a vegan diet is the best for me. It definitely fits my moral and ethics, but I don't know if my body responds to it that well. I've been vegan for about 10 months, and I wish I could say I feel healthier but I don't. I've tried Udo's Oil, I have a B12 supplement, I have green smoothies everyday, I have a vegan multivitamin and none of it seems to work.
I'm going to have to try vegetarian or do something because this is not working
@MichaelBallack91 someone here will call me racist or close minded for saying this, but i will say it anyway. the people i personally know who thrive long-term on a vegan diet are those who have more melanin in their skin. those of fair skin doesn't always seem to thrive on it. i have a theory: it may have to do with where their ancestors lived. sun is not as dominant, perhaps years ago vegetation was not as pronounced so their ancestors had no chose but to eat meat.
take a look at the scandinavian cuisine. u will find cream, butter, cheese, some meats. look at the health of the scandinavian and how well they age. i am just not convinced that there is one diet for all people. my ancestors came from an area of abundant vegetation and i find that eating lots of meats makes me ill, dairy causes me to break out(cow or goat). my best friend is finnish and its the exact opposite for u. she tried vegan and fell apart...
@shasanni Looking at direct ancenstory is one really good way to get a sense of the foods you'll thrive on. My recent ancestory is predominantly Irish, for example, and I do particularly well on wild fish/seafoods/seaweeds, and very well with whole oats even though gluten, actually grains in general, don't generally serve me too well. I also thrive on raw dairy. I don't do too well on high volumes of red meat, but once or twice a week works very well for me.
@shasanni Actually, don't do so well with potatoes. They're OK occasionally/in moderation, but I don't ever feel nourished by them. I get inflammatory symptoms if I eat them regularly, actually similar to a standard gluten response. My ancestory is dominantly Celtic- UK and Wales where not Irish, on both sides.
@shasanni LOL: not a redhead, not can I speak Gaelic. My Dad's side is mostly fair, my Mum's side 'black Irish' so olive skin/dark hair. I'm pretty mousy in the middle.
@shasanni LMFAO... Just looked at your page, and feel I ought to report that I'm a 35 year old caucasian pregnant woman, so unless you're REALLY open minded, I'm not sure I'm quite the 'hot' you're looking for!!
@Lakkhesis1976 geriatric?? ur not THAT old. thats silly. it implies 65 and up not 35. just older for a first pregnancy. is everything going welll. r u having any complications?? is it a boy/girl?
#2: He is claiming that it took 5 years for his health problems to show up and he felt great for those first 5. On the Great Health Debate, he said 2 years. Okay so big deal, but then he says it took that long for it to show up, relating it to he had a healthy diet before he went vegan, so he had all these "stores". This is contrary to what he said, his previous diet was very "toxic" as he says, and was terrible...What are we to believe? Did he have a healthy diet before, or not?...
@MichaelBallack91 yer theres afew others also that sound good with their ramblings but when you listen closely and break it all down, like you have here, they are full of contradtions. Its not believable and vegans have always been around.
#1: Cholesterol IS very important, true. Cholesterol is made by our bodies. We do not need other animals' cholesterol...Saying without cholesterol we die? Sure. Just like without our heart beating, we die. Should we search for an outside source to keep that beating too? If our body is so smart, that it makes cholesterol as a backup, why doesn't it make essential amino acids as a backup? Or essential fatty acids? Very debatable comment, with no scientific research to back this...
I would really like to know WHAT he was eating when he was vegan. Processed vegan crap? Raw chocolate? Raw cheese? Oils? Grains? Sugar? Was he eating a lot of fruits and vegetables? Was he eating enough? I healed my thyroid issues, my anemia, my rosacea, my IBS and so much more on a CLEAN vegan diet. Seriously, I listen to this and I'm just........... facepalm...
@elyze8 You'll know exactly what he's talking about when your health starts to unravel again, and I can almost guarantee that unless you have the constitution of an ox, it will. However long it takes, you'll know what he means when it happens.
hi vegan's categorized variously, criticizin generally denotes no reach raw/ crudely. blend bypass pliable fiber stage skips max vitamina bone help etc. empty or patience @nature's means vs invent. thinking can go back paradise & aft flood allowed + flesh sans blood life ie gen 9 but o earth replenishes we too. spectrum's not market. even lack, look item potato's manipulated wild ferments of land inc.. thrive. so mistreated can be misstated. extra advantages oft ignored so. ripe/ air dried drips
Maaan..alot of people posting comments must not know who Daniel Vitalis really is or how much he has contributed to the HEALTH MOVEMENT!..raw food movement, vegan movement..no its all about HEALTH! Daniel has waaay more experience than the bulk of the community and is extremely well respected otherwise he would not be such a big part of david wolfes longevity program...can we please use some common sense??
...fail on their diets because they still mixing fats/oils with carbohydrates, I did this in the beginning of my vegan diet, then I did some research and the breakthrough came when I start eating just fruit for most of the day and salads or vegetables in the evening and fats like nuts (nut milk) as a last meal of the day always separately from fruit/vegetable's sugars.

There are lots of ways to be vegan, good and bad. You don't see obese people saying 'I was wrong about meat eating', they just blame the composition of their current diet, not the ENTIRE meat eating diet. A vegan could eat a poor diet become incredibly unhealthy, and yet everyone listens when they blame the whole vegan lifestyle rather than their own diet. I don't know what Daniel was eating, but I think this is an important point.

A little food for thought.... I studied anthropology at university and our brain developed significantly when we introduced meat into our diets. So basically if we never ate meat we would not be able to even think about the complexity of a vegan diet, or any diet for that matter.... WEIRD

@HappierHealthierYou Are you familiar with right/left brain science and the theory of stalling of brain development (and subsequent shrinking of brain size) since humans moved from the forests and a fruit based diet similar to other great apes to the savannah and a diet of meat and starches?

@brianv00 when i studied anthro at university we studied how introducing meat to the diet directly correlated with a bigger brain and more complex thought and tools making, said to be the discovery that lead us to complex thought and emotions, so without meat your could not even be concious of a vegan diet...weird huh?

Living in Ann Arbor Michigan, I definately believe that food has its seasons, and that diet needs to change with the seasons. Fruits and vegetables are readily and freshly available at local farms and at my parents house from mid march till the end of October. During the summer, we can foods, dehydrate and ferment foods to save for when plants aren't growing. So I dont eat as much meat in the warmer seasons, but I do depend on meat a bit more around the end of September.

And you can eat that way if your vegan, non-vegeatarian, raw foodist, macrobiotic diet, red blood cell diet, whole foods diet etc.

Disagree about the vitamin c as I think most of us are chronically deficient because we don't make our own. Vit c keeps our blood vessels healthy and with low vit c they start to disintegrate so cholesterol stops up the damage.

Here's one for you if you like: "Good Calories, Bad Calories" by Gary Taubes (Science Journalist),you'll be surprised to see just how well documented his book is,with over 150 pages of references citing scientific journal articles spanning the course of an entire century. Really good read

Just to clarify, the "Heart Attack Proof" lecture is on youtube, so if you're the least bit curious about the new thinking on coronary disease, just search for it and watch it. It's about an hour long, but it made me cut oil out of my diet almost completely. Even olive oil can damage your arteries. Full of interesting facts I never would've imagined (80% of Americans have coronary artery disease by age 20).

What if people eat what they feel is right for their own self? For most, meat & other animal products are a major source for nutrition. I do ask this, though: How many of the vegans out "there" are growing your own calories? And how many of you are against industrial, tilled agriculture? Meat can be raised in a way that REGENERATES degraded land. No cultivation method of annual grains and legumes can do this, so far as I know or have researched.

I think that when you look at what is killing westerners, you will find it is ingredients that exist in animal products. Chief among these is Cholesterol and animal fat. Studies show that Methionine restriction is responsible for the beneficial effects of caloric restriction for longevity. A vegan diet eliminates cholesterol and minimizes Methionine at the same time phyto-sterols provide all of the building blocks for hormones our bodies need to generate.
zigzigerblat 1 year ago
#6. You assume people become vegan or vegetarian because of suffering. That's not always true. I became vegan because I never made the connection that meat = animals. I didn't want to be responsible for killing animals. Hence I gave up eating them/their products. It wasn't until after I became vegan that I saw they suffered on TOP of it. And when you say "some" you really mean "most". I think it's pretty safe to say 95+% of animals today are factory farmed, and that's probably closer to 99%.

#5. HAHAHAHAH I laughed out loud literally at the child abuse comment. Funny he doesn't mention McDonald's as child abuse, yet veganism should be one? Yeah right. So no tribe of people EVER (I find this hard to believe) has eaten only plants, okay. But ancient Olympians in Greece actually did eat a primarily plant-based diet. You act like it's some sort of radical thing to cut out a very small minor part of our diet. Is it an experiment? Sure. So was eating meat for the first time.
MichaelBallack91 1 year ago 3
#4. As for our species always eating meat, I haven't researched this, so I'm not likely to take your word, but let's assume what you're saying is true. No other species but humans have consumed dairy, and it's a relatively new thing. If humans lived for 200 000 years, yet only 8000 (according to him) of them included dairy, that's about 4% of our entire lifetime here. That means 96% of our species' lifetime has NOT included dairy...Was osteoporosis a problem 10 000 years ago?
Sure is today...

I've tried Udo's Oil, I have a B12 supplement, I have green smoothies everyday, I have a vegan multivitamin and none of it seems to work.

@MichaelBallack91 someone here will call me racist or close minded for saying this, but i will say it anyway. the people i personally know who thrive long-term on a vegan diet are those who have more melanin in their skin. those of fair skin doesn't always seem to thrive on it. i have a theory: it may have to do with where their ancestors lived. sun is not as dominant, perhaps years ago vegetation was not as pronounced so their ancestors had no chose but to eat meat.

@shasanni LOL: not a redhead, not can I speak Gaelic. My Dad's side is mostly fair, my Mum's side 'black Irish' so olive skin/dark hair. I'm pretty mousy in the middle.

@shasanni LMFAO... Just looked at your page, and feel I ought to report that I'm a 35 year old caucasian pregnant woman, so unless you're REALLY open minded, I'm not sure I'm quite the 'hot' you're looking for!!

@shasanni Might I repeat, 'Oh dear...'
Yes, I am considered 'old age' for a first pregnancy. 'Geriatric' is actually the term used on my medical records.

@Lakkhesis1976 geriatric?? ur not THAT old. thats silly. it implies 65 and up not 35. just older for a first pregnancy. is everything going welll. r u having any complications?? is it a boy/girl?
shasanni 4 months ago
@shasanni No, pregnancies over 35 are medically referred to as 'geriatric'.
Lakkhesis1976 4 months ago

#2: He is claiming that it took 5 years for his health problems to show up and he felt great for those first 5. On the Great Health Debate, he said 2 years. Okay so big deal, but then he says it took that long for it to show up, relating it to he had a healthy diet before he went vegan, so he had all these "stores". This is contrary to what he said, his previous diet was very "toxic" as he says, and was terrible...What are we to believe? Did he have a healthy diet before, or not?...

@MichaelBallack91 yer theres afew others also that sound good with their ramblings but when you listen closely and break it all down, like you have here, they are full of contradtions. Its not believable and vegans have always been around.

#1: Cholesterol IS very important, true. Cholesterol is made by our bodies. We do not need other animals' cholesterol...Saying without cholesterol we die? Sure. Just like without our heart beating, we die. Should we search for an outside source to keep that beating too? If our body is so smart, that it makes cholesterol as a backup, why doesn't it make essential amino acids as a backup? Or essential fatty acids? Very debatable comment, with no scientific research to back this...

I would really like to know WHAT he was eating when he was vegan. Processed vegan crap? Raw chocolate? Raw cheese? Oils? Grains? Sugar? Was he eating a lot of fruits and vegetables? Was he eating enough? I healed my thyroid issues, my anemia, my rosacea, my IBS and so much more on a CLEAN vegan diet. Seriously, I listen to this and I'm just........... facepalm...

@elyze8 You'll know exactly what he's talking about when your health starts to unravel again, and I can almost guarantee that unless you have the constitution of an ox, it will. However long it takes, you'll know what he means when it happens.

hi vegan's categorized variously, criticizin generally denotes no reach raw/ crudely. blend bypass pliable fiber stage skips max vitamina bone help etc. empty or patience @nature's means vs invent. thinking can go back paradise & aft flood allowed + flesh sans blood life ie gen 9 but o earth replenishes we too. spectrum's not market. even lack, look item potato's manipulated wild ferments of land inc.. thrive. so mistreated can be misstated. extra advantages oft ignored so. ripe/ air dried drips

Maaan..alot of people posting comments must not know who Daniel Vitalis really is or how much he has contributed to the HEALTH MOVEMENT!..raw food movement, vegan movement..no its all about HEALTH! Daniel has waaay more experience than the bulk of the community and is extremely well respected otherwise he would not be such a big part of david wolfes longevity program...can we please use some common sense??
