the reason not all participants didnt improve , is because they were still getting carbs from plants ! they always blame the patient and not the diet !
Greger's buddy and fellow vegan activist 'dr' McDougall just died of a heart attack. He suffered with dementia and was extremely frail for many years.
The plant based vegan diet didn't help him at all, did it? Greger can hear footsteps coming for him.
Exactly.. Dr McDougall looked so emaciated for a long time… 30 years ago I was following Dr McDougall and Dr Dean Ornish eating plan thinking I was doing the healthiest possible eating diet… now I see I was deceived.. I should have been able to see through it… now I see it and I eat meat.
Very helpful.. thank you..
He lived nearly 6 years longer than the average USA male and had a massive stroke as a teenager which shaves many years of life .
Do people not have critical thinking skills ?🤔
Dr Ellsworth warhlem a near life long vegan lived to 106 was doing surgeries well into his 70"s and was teaching carnists surgery into his 90's .
What's your point?
@@julienfroidevaux1143 Ok so A. He didn't live 6 years longer lol. Where did you even get that? The CDC says the average life expectancy of males in the US is 74.8. But even if we use the Google answer - which says 73 - that's still, at max, 4 years longer that he lived, not 6.
B. Other countries like Germany, Canada, France, Ireland, etc have a life expectancy that spans into the 80s for males. So if you use these countries as your baseline, he actually did poorer than the expected outcome by at least 3 years. And keep in mind Germany, France, and Ireland are higher saturated fat and meat consuming countries.
C. If we're going to lecture other people about critical thinking then I don't know why you threw in a red herring fallacy with your second comment since that's quite literally the opposite of critical thinking.
D. We don't know what McDougall died of as his family chose not to release that information. We do not know that he died of a heart attack. If you had wanted to correct the OP, this would've been the comment to make. All we know is he seemed incredibly unstable in his last couple of years of life. But there are lots of causes of that, not all of which are related to diet/lifestyle. So if we're trying to be objective then at most we can just say what's publicly available knowledge: he died in his sleep
I find it difficult to listen to that little Squidge's voice. But Dr. Westman is worth listening to anyway!
Try listening to RFK.. he drives me insane
@@andredaedone7732He is hard to listen to, but knowing it’s a disability, an actual medical condition with a name, is helpful to me.
It's not only the quality of his voice. It's the way he talks: exaggerating parts, playing with emotions, that make him sound suspect. I wouldn't buy anything from him.
He reminds me of SDA speakers.
@@petramaas8574yeah noticed the cruel gaslighting about horrible arteries in the brain
Seems so bizarre when we’ve already established that cholesterol build up happens due to the damage in the body, usually by consuming ultra processed plant based junk filled with various industrial and plant toxins.
Plant-based ( code for don’t eat meat ) very likely does help a great deal at first, right up until the lack of nutrition gets you, or the variety of issues plants can cause set in. Following different people over the years, I will lean toward the meat and away from most plants and carbs, but, everyone has to do what they believe is best for them. Most of the people pushing mostly plants simply don’t impress me for a great variety of reasons, but that is just my take.
Gregor does at least make me laugh, except I think he is greatly harming a lot of people and that’s not funny.
They're changing multiple factors at once. Diet AND Lifestyle. It's hard to say for sure it's one and not the other that's helping, vs necessarily both working together.
It seems like the best study would have multiple groups, diet, diet and lifestyle, and just life style. And also various diets and various lifestyles. If they actually wanted to find the best methods they would test everything, not just what they're looking for.
Right. The study is rubbish and had only one goal: promotion of his program.
No money in investigating a healthy diet when they want you to eat all the crap and become diabetic!! Lots of money for big pharma and the food companies!!
Right. As we all know by now, the key to devising a meaningful study is to tweak one variable at a time…! 😮
What a wildly unhelpful study as regards nutrition. So, the researchers had participants:
1. Remove processed food from their diet
2. Access social support groups
3. Exercise
4. Take nutritional supplements like B12
5. Learn and practice stress-management breathing techniques
6. Avoid meat
And then when both groups continued to decline in the clinical dementia rating but the control group declined faster, the researchers concluded the slow in decline was due to only 1/6 of the factors they'd changed for participants: "Avoid meat"??
Man. Humans are social creatures -- of course access to social support groups will help us. Stress is harmful -- of course learning breathing techniques to lower stress will help us. The human body operates on a use it or lose it principle -- of course exercise will help us. Processed food is toxic -- of course avoiding it will help us.
Humans evolved to thrive on fatty meat; we don't need to supplement B12 if we eat meat as we're meant to. The fact that these researchers had to not only remove meat but add a supplement should have told them something.
Studies need to start booming comparing vegans to carnivores (and each group to other whole foods but promising WOEs like ketovore depending on how defined). NOT comparing one group or the other to omnivores; not comparing either to the SAD. And being responsible about how many factors we control for at once, so the results of our studies can actually be meaningful.
Please cite where "humans evolved to thrive on fatty meat." Homo sapiens only migrated out of Africa and into temperate regions between 50,000 and 70,000 years ago. Not much if any evolution occurred out of Africa and you seem to be assuming that humans evolved to eat an Inuit diet and other northern latitude diets. Europeans did lose their lactose intolerance.
How do you know the weight of each of the six factors? You can not simply divide by six. It was a lifestyle study. I'm not sure we want to have people be sedentary and remove social interactions for a study. It would be unethical.
Veganism is not about health, but I agree we should compare whole-food plant-only diet to carnivore diets directly once we have some evidence that this would not be unethical. First, we need a study showing that a carnivore diet might be a healthy diet.
@@jakubchrobry3701 Perhaps I should have been more precise. Instead of "human evolution", let's refer to "the evolutionary process by which humans developed into themselves". Humans became humans (Homo sapiens) about 315,000 years ago. Homo Erectus began about 2 million years ago. There is substantial evidence that Homo Erectus (our ancestor whose brain suddenly significantly increased in size in correlation with increased consumption of meat) was an apex predator who lived by hunting megafauna. They absolutely also included small amounts of plants in their diet (as most humans have always done) -- but evidence shows they were primarily dependent on the animals they hunted.
You and I both agree that veganism is not about health. I tried veganism; my health declined. I'm currently trying carnivore; my health is improving. I ultimately plan to include at least small portions of plants in my diet -- but I am thankful to have woken up from the cult that says humans CAN'T live on meat alone, and tries to force everyone else to live on plants alone even while that decimates human health, for a very narrow-minded ideological proposal of some single definition of what it means to be ethical. I care deeply about animal welfare. I also recognize that every animal dies, whether or not I eat them after they die. Animal deaths in the wild are often horrifically brutal (see polar bears ripping seals out of their skin). Animal deaths at the hands of humans can be gentle and humane, and preceded by lives equally curated to be gentle and humane. Yes, factory farming is a terrible and ugly thing, but not all of us who eat meat are eating meat from factory farms. Many of us know local ranchers and farmers whose animals live good, happy, healthy, social lives until the age at which the government (not the farmer) decides it's illegal to let the animal live longer (because of government concerns about pathogen risk increasing the longer an animal lives), at which point the animal can be humanely butchered in one bad minute that's still better than the last minute it would experience if a wolf or cougar brought it down instead. (Many of us also eat wild-caught animals, like wild-caught fish or deer, whose lives are basically exactly what they always would have been whether they finished off caught and eaten by an orca or cougar or human.)
We humans are animals, and we don't need to apologize for our position in the food chain. If anything, vegans should be more apologetic about the mind-boggling number of animals that have to die brutal terrifying deaths ground to pieces during mechanical harvesting or painfully poisoned as 'pests', for vegans to over-consume unnecessary and harmful plant foods in excessive and species-unnecessary quantities. At least carnivores are only killing the animals we intend to eat; we don't need to churn up the ground ripping terrified rabbits and mice to pieces as part of our way of eating; in fact, we prefer it if those animals continue to live and fertilize the soil of the untouched pastureland where our larger animals graze (and incidentally, also help the environment by sequestering carbon in the soil as they stamp it down).
In my opinion the most ethical way of eating is to expand humane natural-pasture ranch lands, and should include government relaxing age restrictions on cattle so that ranchers can allow cattle to live longer before being killed for food. It would be good for the animals, good for the environment, and good for humans. Win-win-win.
@@jakubchrobry3701 Google is your friend. Perhaps do some reading.
@@caterinadc5567 I couldn't make it past "cult" and "forcing" people to eat plants. You are too far gone. You brought up veganism, not I. I only care about what's healthy and increases my longevity; and can't stand the nonsense people believe to convince themselves that they are eating the best way and everyone else should eat exactly like them (everyone else, as you claimed, are in a cult).
@@jakubchrobry3701 You said "whole food plant-only diet." That's veganism. The "force" comes in from the people *I personally know* and those beyond, who are actively trying to lobby government to pass laws preventing others from eating meat. The "cult" I mean in a looser sense (stricter for actual militant vegans but looser for the general more omnivore well-meaning doctors and public) regarding those who say humans HAVE to eat plants or we die e.g. from scurvy. I like most of us grew up indoctrinated in that belief system which it turns out is a false belief system.
I agree with you on the bottom line though, insofar as we both "only care about what's healthy". I hope the way you're eating is giving you fantastic, superman(/superwoman)-style health! I hope for that for everyone, regardless of which way of eating they finally land on.
Simply, I would have thought that if meat-based lifts brain fog it would correlate with a healthy brain?
Definitely!
Not eating a crappy junk food, ultra processed food diet lifts brain fog. Period. You could replace it with a bag of oats and assorted seaweed or a diet of insects and grated turnip and the brain fog would lift. What is it you lot say. “Correlation isn’t causation.”
Plant based diet is the best! With supplements like ... 🤣😂
I eat meat and my doctors, both GP and coronary tell me to keep doing what I'm doing.. They can't believe the change in me.. Plants are for ruminants.
Yeah, why would we knowingly deprive ruminants of their food…? 🤔 🐄
Drs say the same to me as a non supplemented 20;+ years vegan.
And what's wrong with supplements?
How much B12 in 🐂 if it wasn't supplemented with Colbot ?
Why do you feel the need to get your supplements recycled through a animal ?🤔😮
@@julienfroidevaux1143Carnivores substitute all of the time. They have many deficiencies including Folate since most don’t include liver in their diet….this is one example.
Plants may be for anything with an odd digestive system,especially with carbs but to be healthy eat the Proper Human Diet
@@julienfroidevaux1143if you’re a vegan and you have to supplement your diet you are eating a poor and dietary insufficient food source. Plants are not how humans grow and thrive.
Ornish: "Okay guys! Let's put together 27 different interventions so we can prove that only one is awesome!"
I will just go ahead and stick with a low-carb keto diet. I’ve listened to a lot of Amy Berger’s videos on the subject. I’d like the approach of type three diabetes. It is a concern for me because I do not have a direct line from the disease, but I have had three family members who have passed from complications of it all on my maternal side
GO TO CARNIVORE DIET AND YOU WILL BE SAFE… 👍🏻
MG is the vegan influencer with most misleading information and bias, with all time high confidence at all time to tell the most inaccurate things.

if you want to know how you will look like if you follow a plant based diet look at Gregor. Bloated with no muscles
Thanks for your wonderful participation in the new diabetes organization!!! Your contribution to wellbeing is greatly appreciated!!!
I know I have said this before but blaming cholesterol for Atherosclerosis is like blaming firefighters for damage caused by a house fire. They didn’t start the fire, all they did was clog up the roadway in an attempt to get to the house to put out the fire.
The irony is plant based junk and industrial food invention is usually to culprit of the fire.
There are a few issues i have with plant based foods lead,cadmium,mercury based poisoning,forever chemicals,pollutants, toxic pesticides.
Oxalates
Well I’m glad that there are scientist studying Keto diets for this and getting positive results. Ketones are a great source of energy and with reducing inflammation and improved mitochondrial function it should be able to help with Alzheimer’s .
"plant-based" is such a broad term that doesn't mean anything. Which plants? All of them, some of them, how much of each? It is ridiculously underspecified and arbitrary. If I eat potatoes and broccoli mostly, I am having a plant-based crap diet. Oh, a "balanced diet" I hear them say. What does that mean now? What should I primarily eat for satiation? Grains, legumes, greens, fruits, which one?
That's actually one of the reasons why animal based products are way better in my opinion. There's not really any bad meats out there. Chicken may not have any dietary fat but it's still an amazing source of protein but as far as eating any other meat you don't really have to ask a question and you don't have to avoid chicken either.
Plants on the other hand..
@@joshuasharrock466 I am with you here. It is simple and whole in one package. Some will get bored, because the fun food is missing, I understand that from the discussions I had.
@@lovelylora1700 Carnivore is quite simple. Not many variables besides dairy products. Keto on the other hand is a more complex subject, as it has multiple levels of intensity and purpose, for that matter, which require specific rules.
@@hermannschmidt9788 can I ask your opinion on the variables on dairy products? I'm about 80% animal product diet and the plant products I eat maybe three to five times a week are grain based or starch based but mainly pastas I make from scratch myself so there's no vegetable oil.
I hate to admit it about 35% of my diet is probably milk or its byproducts butter cheese whey protein... Is it the lactose that you're talking about or what?
@@joshuasharrock466 Sure. There is the lactose intolerance for many. I don't have that problem, however, I found out that cheese is constipating me. That was hard, as I like cheese. With the help of a ketone meter I learned that a glass of milk in the afternoon throws me out of ketosis, which would reliably set in after my egg/bacon/butter breakfast until early evening when I'll have my meat. That is also hard for me. I have a small glass earlier in the day and then stay away from it.
So my brother asked me today what I thought about his doctor just recommended he take a statin to reduce his cholesterol. I said "first of all cholesterol is not a disease....."
I've always found vegans and vegetarians to be a little nutty, so I can't imagine how such a diet could help someone with Alzheimer's!
It definately helps when compared to standard processed food diet, it's the long term that will never be demonstrarted as the results are not favourable to the vegan church 🤣
What an intelligent comment
@@AKMcFReally why do the largely plant based community Loma Linda live around 10 years longer than the USA average.
Seems carnism is damaging long term .
@@robertbrown6531sadly it’s true, for the big agra devotees.
@@julienfroidevaux1143 there have been no long term studies on carnivore dieters, so you can't make this assumption yet.
A plant based diet is full of naturally occurring phytochemicals act as cholinesterase inhibitors and provide trace quantities of agricultural pesticides with anticholinesterase activity too. Cholinesterase inhibitors like rivastigmine and donepezil are first line treatment for Alzheimer's

These WFPB doctors keep showing that ONE X-ray of the artery going back to normal for like 30 -40 years? If WFPB was so great why not showing MORE patient's arteries going back to normal instead of just ONE old X-ray?
When you need to supplement your diet to such a large degree, natural foods or not, its not a good lifestyle. On another note, the video voiceover guy is comically intense.
What “whole” grains is this fella suggesting? Grains have been tampered with and altered beyond all recognition from grains of decades ago.
Thanks Doctor!
Thank you Dr Westman. One day Dr. Gargoyle Gregor will understand the relationship between metabolic disfuction, diet and disease.. he will take an objective look in the mirror then go and sit in a dark corner whilst gently sobbing and demolish a ribeye.
😂😂😂😂so true!
It’s also likely that he will grow more and more frail and sarcopenic and osteopenic like Dr. Mc Dougall, RIP.
I get plants from the cows I eat. Dropping the middle of the grocery store will help anyone improve.
This make me wonder if the ones not helped had prediabetes or full on diabetes. I'd like this contrasted with a study into keto or carnivore to see what the difference is. For me as a Type 2 a diet rich in fruit (sugar) and grain (more carbs / sugar) I'd be on more diabetes drugs. Just had my primary care visit and she eliminated one of my diabetes meds because I had an A1C well into the normal range. But she increased my statin ( I suspect it's related to the standard of care stuff) since my Lipid panel came up not so good. I think she is happy with the 30lbs I lost (averaged out to 5lb per month) between visits and my normal looking A1C. So, I'll keep doing what I do. You often comment about people pushing back on avoiding fruit and other sweet food. I just told my self this is temporary. And after 5 months the cravings are gone and what I remember is those sweet foods were not that good. I am early into my journey in the low carb world and I have lost 80lbs over the past year (ignoring the massive edema that landed me in the hospital at 370lbs). So what did I give up loss of mobility, worsening diabetes, getting weaker and knowing death is around the corner. At 260 today, still limiting carbs, I feel the best I have felt in decades thanks to a simple concept. Cut the processed food, sugar and limit carbs. (Sorry I don't know how to be brief.)
Hello Mr William how are you doing 👋🏻😊
LOL That's so funny.
5:04, two cuts, not a word.
"It will over state that it's the best, based on..." And then Dr. Westman had a really hard time not saying "Based on bullshit."
XD
I cannot go on a diet which I need to take supplements for. Dr. Westman offers a sensible approach and my digestive repels diary and grains so low carb works for me. I wish I had found Dr. Westman years ago.
I had to mute when MG was speaking and unmute when Dr Westman was speaking.

No!
It's an established fact that NOTDR Michael Greger has never been observed in the same room at the same time as Gollum from LOTR. Make of that what you will.
Speaking of the placebo effect: there was that study from Harvard (that may or may not have happened) where they took the housekeepers and told them that their job because of how physical it was made them healthier. And they also had housekeepers where they did not say this to. The housekeeper that were told that because their job was strenuous, it made them healthier, actually became healthier, without any noticeable physical changes to their health and fitness or nutrition routine but yet again, supposedly the may or may not have actually happened
“Prevention isn’t sexy.”
Neither is he 😂
Mr (not Dr) Greger says "probably" alot..
30 years ago I was following Dr Dean Ornish and all doctors recommending fat free vegetarian diets…
Hello how are you doing 👋🏻😊
I would register for your webinar unfortunately but can’t do so without entering my phone number
Thank you, Dr Westman.
Gregor is an utter clown.
Hello Mr. Alec how are you doing 👋🏻😊
Gregor is a terrible liar
Yep, who is paying him to spread such misinformation!
Can a plant based diet reverse Alzheimer's?
Well first: there's no B12 in plants
Second: There's no animals fats in plants.
Third: My mum has dementia from eating a "very healthy with some treats/pyramid" 80% whole food, high fibre, high carb, low fat and plant based diet. With very little red meat. She has plenty of health problems. And now my dad has to give up work to look after her. Thanx big pharm and foods.
So: HARD NO.
Thanks, the plant diet advocate did mention the NEED for supplements…wonder why
He said B12, not beef
I have the worst genes for Alzheimer’s. My dad has it. I still can’t seem to stick with keto. Sigh.
Thank you Dr.
Did you miss the text at the 9:40 mark? "low refined carbohydrates and sweeteners ". Yes it can work but i don't think i would want to eat what they are serving up!
Plant based diet is healthier and cheaper can grow your own food. Most of the meat today are not grass fed filled with dyes to keep them looking red hormones and antibiotics. The poor man can't afford to get good clean meat. Our first parents ate only plants and they survived. Meat eating came later on when there was no vegetation. It's man adding all kind chemicals to the food, GMOs that's killing us.
Not distinguishing between vascular dementia/lacunar disease and Alzheimers (which does not require significant atherosclerosis). Does this guy understand medicine at all?

He sounds dishonest.
You are teaching us how to look critically at the “evidence.” We are becoming citizen scientists. Thank you.
Followed standard diet recommendations for decades and even vegetarian. Never felt great. On medication for decades. Adopted Keto and felt much better. So much so now really keto carnivore. Feel decades younger, much more 'alert'. I am sure anyone following vegetarian feels better for a while, but I actually think it is a poor diet for health.
I'm absolutely flooding the comment section. I'm so sorry.
A whole food plant based diet (With supplementations).
They kind of took the whole food diet that could help with alzheimer's, made it plant based, and attributed the benefit to the con they had planted in.
This is sly!
And i'd just like to add: 7 still haven't recovered, 7 still got worst... So less than half improved...
The way Greger talks… it’s like fingernails on a chalkboard for me…. I’ve love to watch this… but I just can’t….
Hey 👋🏻 😊
Now try the same test on carnivore and see what happens.
"If you don't eat your plants, you might die!" 😂
I feels like eat you re plants has become religion no matter what they have priest going around spreading the gospel, they even recruit in the hospital and the big companies get rich
just like in the old days the Bishops and their priests got rich and fat putting fear in people Brocolli is their GOD
We were warned already to not eat the fruit... Holy Bible = Whole Lie by Baal. They create a book that tells lies in a way that it will be interpreted innumerable ways just like the plant-based diet creates confusion by not being specific. If you take a cow, all the veggies go in and perfect meat comes out. That's something I can believe in and it doesn't require a book to understand. No allergies. No sugar or alcohol addictions. No drugs. No smoking. If it comes from plants, it is not meant for humans. It was meant for the animals first.
Greetings from Andrea of Salem Co nj
Thank you for another critique of a science paper. Bye
is his voice high because of lack of testosterone from his plant diet?
Surprise, surprise. People who exercise, control stress and prioritise sleep, improve their metabolic health and hence their cognition?? The usual attribution error from wishful thinking
So we change the diet AND everything else, exercise, etc. I would venture the lifestyle changes are more important. Very poor research and proof.
I CANNOT STAND how Dr. Greger speaks. It causes highly irritating and ear cringing sensations to the point of near madness.
Please call them “vegans.” Don’t let them rebrand under the term “plant-based.”
Stop the sound effects with your graphics. They are distracting from your message
If Gregor says it, chances are it's not accurate. Misinformation at the very least.
Why are these guys speaking like having dementia?
Love you Dr Westman but I think you should have been a little bit more critical of the propaganda presented by the creator of the video you were reviewing.
Oh god, not Greger again .
You should be careful every time when a vegan speaking...
Thank you, Dr. Westman! I think Prevention Is Sexy! 🎉
So, Alzheimer's is an insuline resistance issue. Why does he talks about atherosclerosis?
Anyway, carbs are what cause the LDL to become small and dense and form atherosclerosis... He's just plain ignornant. And a bit fear mongering.
Must be good to be a vegetarian. Paul McCartney is. God bless ❤️❤️
I repeat, Dr. Gregor borders on misanthropy and is at best, a clown.
Even just Michael Greger's voice makes me want to hurl. I'm sorry Dr Westman but I can't watch this one.
Cherry picking non.Dr Greger? Liar from the basement brrr
I wish specialized diets would help high blood pressure. I've done carnivore, keto, vegan and a number of others and none of them helped that. Each one helped certain other health aspects, but unfortunately still on the BP meds. :(
Perhaps you didn't stick to it for long enough? Keto and carnivore diets both improve blood pressure but not over night. Try them for 3-6 months.
@@jenswalks Did all for 6 months and the important lipid numbers got worse on carnivore, so definitely not doing that again.
@@dasfahrer8187 If by 'important lipid numbers' you are referring to LDL then yes, it often goes up on a carnivore diet. I've watched enough clips on LDL from people like Dr Paul Mason, Prof Bart Kay, Dave Feldman, Dr Ken Berry and many other professional, intelligent people to not be worried about that. Your complaint in this thread however, was regarding high blood pressure. I'm betting six months on a carnivore diet would have lowered yours.
@@jenswalks No, trig's and HDL. LDL isn't all that important (unless you're inundated with the small types), as you mentioned. I was on all of those diets for 6mo each and none affected my HBP unfortunately. Assuming it's genetic/hereditary or something at this point as only certain meds has been the only thing that are able to keep it normal.
@@dasfahrer8187 I've never heard of trigs going up and HDL going down on a carnivore diet. Thousands reporting their bloods online have experienced exactly the opposite, myself included, so you seem to be unique in that regard. The fact that your blood pressure didn't go down after 6 months of animal-based eating is also very strange. It suggests something else is going on, which is causing distress and inflammation to your body. Have you had yourself tested for moulds, heavy metals etc?
The narrators tone is just weird….
I just saw a drs video saying that someone got scurvy from eating a meat only diet.
😂
Am I the only person who finds that "plant-based" narration extremely irritating? I loathe being treated like a kindergarten child.
Dr.Greger is a damn joke! Look at him! His head is nearly falling off!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Am doing more veggie now than meat.
For most of us here this isn't logical. Can you explain?
I'll explain why it's not logical for me:
1) humans make their own glucose from fat and protein in meat, so they have no need for glucose from plants
2) plants have glucose we don't need, fructose we don't need (detoxed by liver like alcohol), and fiber we can't use.
3) if we eat plant babies, they get pooped into sewage instead of planted in the fields -it's abortion but we don't see it
4) if animals eat plant babies, the seeds go into the field and get planted.
5) if we ferment fruit, we get alcohol, but that is toxic for us
6) if we grow plants for cigarettes, they kill people
7) if we give the plants to the ruminant animals (cows, goats, sheep), they can process the carbs including the fiber. Nothing is wasted and they give us clean meat, milk, hide for shoes like moccasins so we can stay grounded to the earth, etc.
8) the Holy Bible (Whole Lie by Baal) warned us to not eat the fruit. (who knows if it's true or not but we do know that the creator only accepted animal meat usually as burnt offerings, and never ever accepted plants of any kind ever).
9) If we ferment plants, we seem to have some benefits from this, but the cow does this fermentation for us with multiple stomachs, and it provides him with a meal, so it is the most efficient way to contribute to a full lifecycle.
10) If animals were allowed access to the land used for human plant food, they would not need to be kept in tiny areas. We could let them walk between fields and eating whatever they wanted instead of being kept in tiny slaughterhouses.
11) If we stopped sending plants to the supermarket that look pretty, we could stop having pesticides and chemicals used on the land. We could also probably stop using tractors that require forests to be removed and the loss of bird habitats. Instead, small cow-sized robots could plant the fields in between the trees and let the cows move through the fields, milking them in the open air instead of being forced to eat and be milked in enclosed areas.
12) The cows fertilize the soil and more trees pull water up out of the ground raising the water table.
13) No pesticides means that we can reestablish the fungi in the soils that connects the plants together. Not only will the animals live better, but so will the plants and the humans can get out of the way and just ask for a cow whenever they need one.
14) Instead of killing all the animals in wars and colonization as the Europeans have done, we would start to support a resurgence of animals first that will allow us to all have complete nutrition without need for supplementation that has been promoted by plant-based diets because they are unable to provide complete nutrition.
Eat beef. It's the solution. Stop supporting anybody or any company that makes stuff with plants.
@@jd01665Thank you for confining your comment to what works for you personally. To your health…! 👍
@@1timbarrett You're welcome. Be careful with those veggies. If you have success, let please us know how and why. I had to cut them 100% and am losing my ability to remain open minded having seen so many fail to moderate the sugar consumption on plant-based diets leading to health failure and requiring supplements and medicine or worse.
Tim Noakes wrote the keto "textbook.". 😂 Wonder if OJ wrote one as well. He was also exonerated. . .
He was not exonerated as he was never found guilty.
@@janedough6575 neither was OJ
@@mariad1151 that’s who I am referring to.
@@janedough6575 what's your point?
@@mariad1151 That you can only be exonerated if you were convicted. That’s all. No conviction, no exoneration.
I wish there were more doctors open to diet-preventing disease...
