Doctor says: Eat chocolate, EVERY DAY
Фильм және анимация
If you’ve been following this channel for a while, you’ve probably witnessed Steven Gundry MD dispelling myths about “health” foods that are actually bad for you. But when was the last time you heard a doctor tell you to go ahead - eat that "junk food?"
Well... when it comes to chocolate - surprise! - Dr. Gundry wants you to do just that - go ahead and enjoy chocolate. Every day, if you'd like. But before you run to the grocery store and grab that Snickers bar - you NEED to watch this video. Because many “chocolate” makers are selling a product that’s loaded with milk and sugar instead of the polyphenol-rich cacao... and Dr. Gundry wants to make sure you know the good from the bad - for your health!
You see, REAL chocolate (unlike granola or frozen yogurt) is not attached to a temporary fad, and its health benefits have been embraced and proven by many cultures throughout history. So if you’re looking for a delicious way to boost your health, this episode is for you. Warning: do not watch on an empty stomach.

It's hard to find good dark chocolate without the soy lecithin in it. I'm soy-free as everyone should be.

I love bitter chocolate
What about all the cadmium and oxalates in chocolate though?? 🧐
So thankful for your work and all you are doing!!! I am in my second week and feel like a new person. 😊
Thank you so much for this terrific information on chocolate, I love it! I have a question that perhaps you can address in a future episode or maybe you have already answered it... what gluten free grains can be be cooked in a pressure cooker to neutralize the lectins? I know you said oats and wheat and other grains containing gluten cannot be pressure cooked, but what about quinoa, buckwheat and other gf grains or seeds? Thanks for all your informative videos, they are so helpful!! I do have all your books btw, but I don't remember reading too much on the gf grains and pressure cooker.
Great explanation,thanks🇺🇸
Thank you for everything you do :)

Thanks for answering questions and giving me peace of mind. I used to be a huge fan of milk chocolate but switched to dark after I started Keto. Now I eat 85% and I love it. The problem with dark chocolate is that you can't find a bar without sugar in it, but the carbs were so low I bought them anyways. I can't find Lilly's - you're not the first one to say it's the best. Here we have Baker's; it has pieces of unsweetened chocolate but it's harder to calculate how much you can have and it's only 70%. Great for recipes, though. Thanks again for this video, Nicole

The Peddler try HU brand chocolates. They are low sugar and they use coconut sugar which is way more wholesome and it’s full of fiber.
Great information. Thank you :)
What brand do you feel is safe with regard to lead and cadmium? I haven’t eaten chocolate or baked with cacao powder, since I became aware of it. The “As You Sow” reports are really hard to decipher. Please share! I was hoping you would have mentioned it. Thank you for all you do!
Love your work Dr. Gundry, I have two friends now reading your books and following the Plant Paradox programme! I some questions: Q1. Do you think its necessary to "Activate" nuts and seeds by soaking then dehydrating them to remove the other anti-nutrients? Q2. Would the pectin in home-made apple sauce help with a leaky gut, as suggested by Dr. Tom O'Bryan as I like to use natural remedies, instead of taking L-glutamine supplement as I'm worried that on my low protein days that it could stimulated m-TOR? Many thanks & Big hugs!
Greetings. Please do a segment on PrebioThrive like you’ve done with chocolate ... Thank you for everything. You are loved and appreciated!
Thank you Dr. I had a heart attack in 2019 and lost my health insurance I had another heart attack just weeks ago and have no way of seeing a cardiologist , I'm hoping your advice will save my life.

Thank you Doc. Love the caring.
Great info. Love the comment about white chocolate. Unfortunately, the regular dark chocolate Hershey bars (which I love) are low on cacao and high on sugar. Things you could talk about: How beneficial is daily CoQ10/ubiquinol for the heart? How beneficial is daily turmeric/curcumin supplement? Thank you.
Thank you for the informtion. I would love to hear from you: how can i do the diet with histamin intolerance. Thank you Dr G
I've been eating 85% cocoa chocolate and it's fabulous!
I've noticed I don't feel nearly as stressed/depressed whenever I eat a couple squares of dark chocolate. Wal-Mart sells a pretty good 90% bar.
Thank you for your honesty, Dr. Gundry. My beautiful wife and I enjoy the benefits of eating cacao chocolate. I laughed when you said where white chocolate belongs. I plan to watch more of your videos. 😀👍🏾
I often add raw cold pressed organic cacao powder in my coffee, good stuff! Just discovered chocolate is a good source of PQQ (great!) also learned it's high in oxalates (not so good).
Thanks for posting...just so happens that I was just eating some chocolate while watching your video. I did have a question about figs. I see a photo of a fig on your book yet they have more fructose than just about any other food. Are figs recommended and if so is it ok to eat dried figs or only fresh?.
Thank you for a very informative and interesting video. My question for you is how long do we need to pressure cook foods to kill the lectins? I cooked tomato sauce for 30 minutes, but that was only a guess. Thank you for asking for questions!!
Great video, looking forward for my 200th Birthday jokes aside, your channel really helps us. Please keep going
Thank you!!!
I'd love to hear about the PP affects on high blood pressure and what to expect and how to cure it.
Hello Dr Gundry, thank you for sharing all you rich knowledge. I am so greatful to be one of your followers. Could you please tell us what are the main reasons for the acne on the forehead? Thank you

Dr. Gundry, can you please do a video on adult hormonal acne? As a teen my skin was flawless but upon entering my early 20’s and even my early thirties I still experience break outs predominantly around my jawline. Can you please discuss triggers (food, dairy, gluten, sugar, sleep, stress, etc) and how to heal and rid the body of inflammation causing the breakouts?
I have Hashimoto's and was wondering if I need to substitute or eliminate certain foods from the list in your book. I’ve been told broccoli and cauliflower shouldn’t be consumed if you have a thyroid issue.
Hi Dr. Gundry! Could you do a video on candida overgrowth and any tips you might have? I’ve seen your yeast video with sugar vs stevia, it was great. Im looking for more detail than just cutting out sugar. Especially how to get rid of thrush and chronic candida in the intestines. As well, how do I ensure that the probiotics I’m taking are actually making it to my intestines and not getting destroyed before they even reach my gut? Thank you!
Thank you dr Guntry
Hi Dr Gundry and Team. I'd like to know more about: Overcalcification (in artheries, kidney stones, bone spurs), can the plant paradox program help?
Dr. Gundry, I am a 71 years old male with BPH for more than 30 years. I'd been medicated with avodart but it only has aliviated the symptoms a bit. Nonetheless, cutting the lectins from my diet I'd got a lot better, in such a level that I eliminated the medication. My prostate is much less inflamated and I am able to urinate as in my ancient times. Is it possible that lectins were the origin of my problem?
Advice for people stuck on night shift , Ive been on your program 2 1/2 yrs, read all of your books and have lost over 100lbs . I do eat a small piece of 92% chocolate every day, but night shift keeps me a little run down most of the time. Thank you Dr. Gundry.
Thank you so much 🌺🙏 What do you think about amino acids pills?
Good job Dr Gundry !
Are there lectins in seaweed and if so how do you remove them?
Hey, Dr.Gundry! I've been following your channel for an year and I would like to thank for the valuable information you give us! You helped me to improve my health.

Best Regards

blended each day: a glass of water, three fresh garlic pieces, a piece of fresh ginger, a piece of turmeric, a half of fresh lemon. You will clean the blood vessels. Raw cocoa every day because it relaxes the blood vessels and antioxidants protect the internal artery , magnesium in an absorbable form, e.g. magnesium citrate. A lot of movement, omega 3 fat (e.g., walnuts, flax), no trans fat in the diet, no redundant fatty tissue, often a smile and your heart will be happy.
I add unsweetened Coco powder to the coffee grounds when I make Espresso in my Moca Pot.
Hi Dr Gundry and his devoted team. What could you say if eating just an square inch of dark chocolate a day (90% or 95% organic chocolate... very bitter !) gives me lots of acne ? I've tried numerous time and the result is always the same :/ Thanks.
I like raw cocoa in cup with honey

I had some 95% Dark Chocolate I loved it my wife said it was the most bitter Disgusting thing she ever tried. To me it had a Dark Coffee Flavor and I love the bitterness of extra dark chocolate. For me it has to be 80% or higher Dark Chocolate.

How do hormones affect weight loss?
Hi Dr Gundry I have only just discovered you. I must have been living under a rock😄. Anyway I have recently started to take my health more seriously losing a good bit of weight. I'm now going down the keto road. But my research is on going and I'm excited to learn more. I have lymphodema in my left leg. Is their anything I can do to improve my symptoms. Since losing weight it has improved.
Hello Dr. I’m new in your channel getting educate in how to eat healthy. I hear that it doesn’t matter how healthy you eat if you have a lot of stress in your life. Could you please talk about this? and the nerve system that orchestra it? what supplements can help us? what about the adrenal glands? I know this is like more of the mental health but what about when it’s already affecting our health?

Whats your thoughts on evoo susceptibility to turn rancid even if not used for cooking? I try to only use it raw and use it up quickly but regardless i know it will sit in the grocery store under the lights for days before i get it and probably turn rancid as a result, any thoughts or solutions thanks.
Thank you, very much, Dr. Gundry, for your work. I would be very interested in supplements, more detailed than you talk about them in the longevity paradox, especially since you named a lot of supplements you take by yourself but without further explanation. Furthermore I wonder about your opinion on iodine, oxalates (for example in cacao, especially raw cacao), mold, mykotoxins, phytines (especially the question, whether nuts should be soaked) and the so called bulletproof coffee (and it's effects on intermittent fasting and autophagy). Best and thankful regards from Weimar, Germany.

Hi Dr. Gundry! Since you're a cardiologist, I have a question about building my immune system. I suffer from.headaches, allergies, ear pain after being outside. I heard about saunas. Ever since I remember, when I sit in a hot tub or sauna, my heart starts to pump and I get too hot really quickly. I have to get out of tub quickly. Immune system real low, I'm still anemic. Seasonal allergies, low blood pressure. Avoiding dairy and sugar as much as I can already. How can I get my lymph flowing if I cant use saunas? I take vitamin c, b vitamins, iron..

Oh Halleluiah!!! Thanks Dr. Gundry for this. I have been searching for the best cocoa powder. I love "bitter water", enjoyed by the Aztecs (l think...). It is made of a cup of hot water, cocoa powder and ceyene pepper. It has no sweetening at all. I love it. I am on a tight budget and love Hersheys, but wasn't sure if it's the healthiest version. I can afford it and cannot afford the "organics"!!! The Hershey's has the "NonGMO Project Verified" label. I am so pleased and grateful...thanks for watching out for us!!!❤❤❤

hi :-) I consume cacao beans. Wouldn't they be better than bars?
I eat 100% chocolate. No sugar or substitutes. 4 pcs 11g Fibre, calcium 6%, iron 8%, potassium 11%, magnesium 40%, manganese 25%. Ingredients cacao and cacao butter. Is it still nutritious with the cacao butter?? I also eat the raw organic bean, are these better or do the skins contain lectins. I don't mind bitter
What's the best protein powder??
Thanks Dr. Gundry, I found (after much searching)an 82% cocao bar called Flagrants Desirs. Its imported from Spain and we get it at the Bulk Barn (Canada). Ingredients - cocoa mass, cocoa powder, cocoa butter, soya lecithin and natural vanilla flavour. No sugar (at least its not indicated on the label)! I think its the vanilla that's the key. Its great, but I do wonder about soya lecithin (it says soya on the label) (should be soy perhaps?). I know we should not have soy, but what about the soy (soya) lecithin??? Does soy lecithin contain lectins??? I am celiac and have refined my diet even more after reading your book. My nutritionist daughter (also lectin free) is a great resource for alternate (lectin free) baking ideas. She loves her baking. As a celiac, I was directed to steer clear of wheat, rye, oats and barley and directed to eat corn, rice and soy instead. Oh my, that's a recipe for bad health. Anyway, thanks for your insights and all you do. We celiacs really appreciate it.
What about Hershey’s 100% cacao powder for baking?
