We got a ton requests from you to comment on Dr. Michael Greger. This week viewers sent us a new video with dr. Greger, let’s take a look

It´s a tv show, Greger is in a debate. Greger will argue the vegetarian diet. Reversal of heart disease. Dr. Esselstyn and the Ornish trial.

Ornish trial: diet, stopping smoking, stress management (meditation etc), exercise

Many diets “reverse” diabetes, normalize glucose. low fat diets can reverse diabetes, low carb diets can reverse diabetes. elimination diets cut junk food, weight loss improves glucose

overt deficiency of protein or kwashiorkor virtually nonexistent in the west. we can avoid overt deficiency and not be at optimal level. true: main threats are diseases of excess. Heart disease, obesity, diabetes, even cancer: diseases of eating too many calories, too much of the wrong foods

Red meat intake reduced, diabetes went up. People eating more calories and more junk food. red meat not the cause of this rise in diabetes but red meat could raise risk of diabetes. reduction of red meat and even bigger increase of refined carbohydrates, overall more calories, risk of diabetes goes up but in theory both foods could be diabetogenic

does not imply more diabetes due to less meat
