Excellent presentation. The facts are conclusive. We need to learn with history: In a few years we will be disgusted by the food industry manipulative tactics like we are today by the 1950's tobacco industry tactics. People have the power to change right way what are they eating and to make politicians pass laws that prohibits misguided manipulative adverts. We must demand scientific accurate nutrition classes for medical staff as they are the providers of a service that deals directly with our lives and deaths!

That change is taking place in health conscious societies, where there are efforts to raise awareness about the role of nutrition and behavioural habits in preventing and treating/coping with diseases. Change is resisted in societies, where there is ignorance about the contribution of diet and habits in maintaining healthy life style. Change is rejected by those who consider eating and smoking a pleasure due to addiction. There is also a group which is aware, but cannot afford or have no access to a healthy diet.

This man is just brilliant. I'm haunted by a response I received from my Oncologist in 2014 when I was diagnosed with cancer. I just knew in my bones that diet was part of the answer for cure/prevention. I started to talk about nutrition and the response was, "Nothing you ate caused this. You just won the world's worst lottery." To their credit it was indeed a rare cancer, but it's back, and (once again) I wish I had listened to that divine voice trying to save me. Thank God this time He's sent an Angel/Doctor to help me save my life!; especially since my employer made it impossible for me to properly take care of myself last time. No job is more important than your health. If you can, once you know that your health and happiness is not a priority to your employer, move on!

As a professor I have studied and shared the absolute lunacy of all of those old tobacco ads and shared them with my student. I published research regarding smoking activity in today's elementary schools. Dr. Greger DID present evidence of actual vetted studies in his presentation, but just like in today's world people don't want to believe the science. My husband became a vegan five years ago at 330 pounds. Within two years he had lost 115 pounds and is doing very well at 70 years old. Thanks Dr. Greger for the reminder.

Always LOVE to hear Dr. Greger speak!!! Powerful and timeless insight!

Michael Greger, M.D. sends out a free email daily with seriously objective, worthwhile health information. His informational video are fact based and entertaining to hear. Just like in this TED video, he shows you the evidence and there is usually a "put it to the test" portion, so he verifies his statements. I love Dr. Gregor. He is a health hero.

I had no idea about his Grandmother’s story. How touching and how his work makes so much sense now. Love that guy.

Brilliant man who has the ability to bring research based knowledge to non medical audiences so that we can clearly understand. Thank you Dr. Gregor. You are doing your life’s work!

wonderful information! Thank you Dr. Greger! Everyone should see this. I am off blood pressure medication because of his nutritional advice to eat mostly vegetables!

"NOTE FROM TED: Please do not look to this talk for medical advice. The speaker makes strong assertions about a specific diet that lack sufficient scientific evidence for general prescription." What?? Dr. Greger cites literally EVERY single medical study he gets his information from in his books and on his website. His talks couldn't be anymore scientfic.

@RC-qf3mp

20 күн бұрын

1) there is lots of science that has come out since this video and there’s no way of knowing if some of the advice is the complete opposite of what better science suggests. 2) it’s easy to cherry pick from the science to arrive at whatever conclusion you want. Look up “material omission.” 3) there are plenty of “experts” in the medical and scientific communities who looked at the same body of research and have come to radically different conclusions. 4) people have different dietary sensitivities and are in various medications. There’s no one size fits all. For many people, a purely carnivore diet solves their major medical problems and lets them live healthy lives. Would be absurd for them to switch to plant based. Veganism is basically a religion anyway when you see how it’s discussed. Much of the research is done with mice and other animals.

Dr. Greger is so amazing! My husband and I switched to a whole food plant based diet a year and a half ago and have reversed/improved many health conditions. I am off my thyroid medication which I was told would never happen. The medical Dr's need to be educated about this from day one in medical school.

Hi! I'm from Italy and I'm reading the subtitles in Italian. I found out there is an error... when the doctor says "plant based diet" the subtitles say "vegetariano" than means "vegetarian" but this is slightly incorrect, because we all now that a vegetarian diet is not a "plant based diet". So as not to mislead people and really help who don't understand english I would suggest to change "vegetariano" in to "dieta vegana" ("vegan diet") . Thanks for your cooperation.

Excellent review of the evidence basis for nutritional therapy! We were lucky in Naturopathic Medical School to have nutrition taught as a main treatment, and have peer-reviewed studies summarized by the likes of Dr. Alan Gaby, MD.

Dr Gregor also made me face my own biases and look at studies as I would do for my patients with a condition I was unfamiliar with. The result was that I had to admit I was wrong about my views on nutrition. Went more and more plant based and have been vegan for about 2 years. I'm now stronger and bigger than I ever was as an omnivore weight lifter. I wish I went vegan 20 years ago!

Thanks to advice from Dr Greger, my blood pressure is optimal, without meds, after 20 years of hypertension My cholesterol is also normal again.
