1 of 6 Dr Greger: Why don't vegetarian/vegans live longer? 2003

http://www.reddit.com/r/vegan/comments/bh22e/dr_greger_why_dont_vegetarianveg...

The video is long and wordy, but lots of new data (within the past 2 years) from good sources (studies of large sizes). Meat Eaters live just as long as Vegetarians; possibly longer than Vegans. (No difference in Heart Disease, Stroke, Cancer) Vegetarians have twice the risk of dying from degenerative brain diseases. Vegetarians have low bone bone health as indicated by hip fracture rates.

Fixes: Flax Seeds (Omega 3 to 6 ratio). Eat 2 Tablespoons of GROUND flax seeds per day for the rest of your life; flax seed oil is okay but not as good as cooking destroys the Omega 3's. 1 tablespoon of ground flax seeds and 3 tablespoons of water mixed up until frothy replace 1 egg in cooking. Throw out your Corn, Cotton Seed, Safflower, Sunflower oils. Use Olive Oil, or second best Canola oil. Vitamin B12 (Blood Vessel Damage, Brain Damage, etc.). Is there anyone here that is not supplementing with pills already? 80% of vegans have a B12 deficiency. Calcium Supplements Other (Vitamin D in Northern Areas, UK or Sea Salt users: Iodine, Dark Leafy Green, Any nuts, Beans, Whole grains, Drink lots of water (5 Glasses decrease heart attack / stroke by 50%), Zinc, Selenium)

Some Sources:

Findings from 18 year study: Meat eaters live just as long as vegetarians. Cancer, stroke and heart disease rates are the same. Vegetarians are twice as likely from dieing from degenerative brain diseases.

Findings from another European Study: Vegetarians have a 50% greater chance of dieing from degenerative brain diseases.

Mortalities rates of Vegetarians and Non/Vegetarians: Same mortality rates across Vegans, Vegetarians and Meat eaters. (Only 200 Vegan in study)

Hiderberg(sp?) study: Vegans lowest life span, then Vegetarians and Meat eaters live longest.

Study of Thousands of California Seventh Day Adventists: Hip Fracture Data showing twice the hip fracture rate.

Homocystine Levels (Should be less than 10):

Meat Eaters: 12, 12

Vegetarians: 16, 17

Vegans: 19, 27

I've been watching videos on You Tube for 4 years now, and I agree with the other commenter. This guys voice is SO ANNOYING that It's impossible to listen to, and I really wanted to get this info bad. Too sing song, too emotional. This is a lesson in how to not narrate a video. OOPS. Get someone else to do it over.

your voice is fucking annoying

[MichaeLightify]

@paranoidboytoy you mean you cant listen... lol

[MichaeLightify]

@OutsidrArtst or it just shows you judge superficially...

[OutsidrArtst]

the tone of voice......that says it all...

[paranoidboytoy]

your voice is annoying cant watch



[DanielManahan]

I think the voice is very good. I don't get distracted at all or bored. I retain the information very well, and that is my test for a good speaker, regardless of his unconventionaly style.

great information, once you get used to the quirky voice.

[futoncat]

I was really afraid I wouldn't be able to see enough pictures of the speaker when I went to this video. However, my fears have been extinguished entirely with the glorious collage of photographs of the man that holds precedence on this video. And the five others. I am ecstatic.

This idea that vegetarianism will lead to longer lifespan is a big myth, and you can prove this by looking no further than the country of India. In that country, we have millions of strict Brahman Hindus, who practice life long vegetarianism because of religious obligation, and most are pretty affluent, and yet they suffer from heart disease/diabetes in alarming numbers, and are no healthier than their meat eating Christian/Muslim counterparts living in the same country.

[GoodVibrationsHealth]

I keep thinking about becoming a vegan, but then I keep hearing that it isn't good.

[auggiedoggy]

The speaker tries too hard to be cute and fails. This tone is very annoying and severely detracts from the message. Pity ...
