"But what if you only use bones from organic free range chickens? They DID only use bones from organic free range chickens."..lol.
+carloctave Yep, that was gold..
boss
except they don't site the sources/farms.
Most of the 'organic' farms are still owned and operated by the same companies. There are many loopholes, and they absolutely exploit them.
So, do your research.
carloctave quit trying to make fun of organic
Yup
My eating lifestyle has become so simple since adhering to your health advice, Dr. Greger. Ahhh... so refreshing and so awesome! Thank you! Literally just dumped my $30 bone broth powder in the garbage where it belongs!
Thank God I'm vegan. Been a vegan since 12/26/15 and loving it.
3:54 *BOOM!*
Nice
Nice one Dr. Geeee... This newly created bone broth hype is pathetic.
Thank you, shared! I imagine many feel like they will recover from eating chicken soup ... instead?!? LEAD CONTAMINATION!
"The heavy metals such as Pb and Cd that are present in commercial broth/soup were found herein to have concentrations in the range of a few micrograms per serving. Thus the hazard quotients are low and so the risks that are associated with ingestion of heavy metals from broth are considered minimal." From another study published by NIH entitled Essential and Toxic Metals in animal bone broths. Nutrition science is the worst.
I have a question on that. If it takes 30 years to get rid of half the lead and lead leaving your bones results in undesireable outcomes, does it matter how small the dose is as the gradual accumulation does damage in the long term?
Bone broth or similar to this used to be the main food of Romans soldiers and Spartans also Massai today they eat something similar to this with lot of blood and still have huge endurance. Even Japanese people have many recipes like this and almost all of them are very healthy and they live till 87 years old!!
Myself used to have joint problems, i tried many different treatments but all of them was waste of time and money exept bone broth who helped me a lot.
I love your videos but , SSSSHHHIIIITTTT! Every time I watch one I have one more food item in my already restricted diet that I have to stop eating! I'm down to amla berries and green tea. Sir, you are the Michael Pollan of CZcams!
I just saw Dr. Greger's book right next to the book "The Bone Broth Diet" lol
+John Smith lol
Vietnamese people probably eat the most bone broth in the world. They are probably the best example of poverty to life expectancy ratio out there. Basically my point is they are a very poor country but have a high life expectancy. Could it be because of the bone broth?
+Tony K Meh... i'd rather say that's due to their high fruits and vegetable consumption. But i honestly have no idea.
King Of Kings Maybe. But lets not speculate here. We need scientific studies.
They did use only bones from orangic free range chicken *mic drop*
Here is a study that shows vegetables have lead
www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2010/09/29/130212437/fresh-vegetables-but-hold-the-lead
+Tony K Yes. However, lead and other heavy metals seat in large amounts in fatty tissues. Plants, having too rudimentary a structure, and not having fatty tissues, are much less capable of secreting these toxins. Nice try, tho'
+Tony K An 'article', not a study.
+Tony K Lead is everywhere but it accumulates in animals the most. So vegans will also eat heavy metals in plants but their levels are way lower than those of the meat-eaters.
+Sarah Beller The study did not say FREE RANGE, the Doctor added that himself, those chickens were ONLY organic. What do organic chickens eat? They eat a vegan diet of organic corn and soybeans.
Free range chickens eat whatever they find, including bugs, insects, worms, etc.
So what should be eat? As everything on this planet is contaminated
Dominic Mutzhas Danke für die Untertiel!!!
Brought to you by the pharmaceutical companies !!
The ending was completely gangster. I love how thorough Dr. Greger is.
I was like O SNAP !! xD
Gangsta Greger, this guy is awesome.
He wasn't thorough, because he didn't ask how the chickens were raised.
Legend
But..Where does the Chicken get its lead from..???
+Sara ⓥ :3 Same place we do. Water and feed.
***** LOL that made me laugh so hard XD
Thanks for the heads up,let me know when you have a way to avoid all effects of living in a polluted world.
In the meantime I guess I'll just have to starve.
I think there are plenty of other things to eat besides bone broth
+Bonnie Leary and I'm sure if you eat it there will be a video telling you how it's going to kill you.
+Nicha wait for it,LOL.
+Michael Carlone true, true....I have noticed that as well. Hahaha
too bad we don't have a plant-based diet advocate like you in brazil :(
+João Armando Gallas tb acho . Tenho que ficar traduzindo para alguns amigos
epic ending statement to this video. bravo dr!
I've only found one source and study, and it is external to the US. The CDC does not typically approve of these methods, which is probably why it's not "fact" or mainstream yet.
Awesome video. Ahh just one question. Is the Lead in a form that the body absorbs? The question is not just exposure it's also whether the form ie structure which impact whether it accumulates. Kind of like those mineral supplements that just ground up rocks. They are barely absorbed. Just because the chicken absorbed it doesn't mean we do. Did the study indicate whether people up take the Lead in the broths?? You need to know that before you know what the real risk is. Clever ending though. Maybe clever by half until we know the absorbtion.
I suggest using a Brita filter before eating your bone broth.
+Frank V Brita does not filter lead.
This article(and others) proves no food is safe anymore, if the fish don't poison us then free range chicken will.
+Jeff Lebowski Scroll the other NutritionFactsOrg videos to see the health benefits of plant foods.
+Jeff Lebowski Or the air, or the water, or the soil, the oceans and the rivers. Boy, we've really made a mess of this planet didn't we? As a home owner I don't mind buying a simple drip filter to make my tab water taste better. But it burns my ass to have to pay for unsafe water coming into my home. I refuse to buy cases and cases of bottled water! And who knows how safe that is? It's basically filtered tap water, served up in what very well might be toxic plastic.
Learning what is health harming vs health promoting can feel overwhelming, can't it?
natureasintended Maybe, sometimes. There's risk in everything I suppose. Did you hear about the vegan who died at just 24 years old? He was hit by a bus...
+Joseph1NJ [badum-tishhhhhh] : )
Would cow bones be worse? I know that a diet high in calcium inhibits lead absorption, so how much lead is actually being absorbed by bone broth drinkers and how much calcium are they even getting? Bone broth was the last animal product I was consuming before becoming totally vegan. I'm super happy I switched to collard greens =S
This is a silly video. Such things always build up higher in the food chain. Humans have around 400 times more lead in our bones now then humans before the industrial revolution. Largely from breathing and the lead in the air. Meaning we all need to do oral chelation everyday of our lives to keep the heavy metals low in our body. It takes around 15 years alone for our bones to remodel so 15 years to get the lead out of our bones. So unless there is a very abnormally high amount of lead in these bones because of bad feed being given then there is a reason to avoid. Otherwise this video is quite silly and pointless. We all need to constantly be getting the heavy metals out of our body whatever your diet. Because we all breath. At least this is what Gary Gordon says the guy who literally wrote the protocol for the government for chelation. I personally am going with what he says.
For those (me) who had dental fillings many years ago are suffering from these led fillings
but how did the lead go into the chicken bones?
+❀Vegan Paradise❀ My thoughts exactly! If you found out please do tell
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver just did a piece about lead in drinking water.
Send this to Dr Axe lol
Exactly 😂
Another awesome video, doc.
Vietnamese pho made with beef or sometimes chicken broth was one of my favorites before I switched to vegan but I found a lot of alternatives and plenty of noodle options.
+Mal Milligan ME TOO. HOLY CRAP IT WAS GOOD. Vegan pho was my priority when learning to cook vegan
I make veggie soup but it's simple and a little crude so far. I use tumeric or curry as a soup base with Britta filtered water. Then I throw in the hard veggies like sweet potatoes and shrooms. Delicate stuff like cabbage I throw in last. A big bowl is filling an donly 200 calories or sometimes as low as 100 calories. I throw in beans to add protein and rice or pasta to make it fancy. That's my single dad style of cooking... lol
***** Pho is spiced with star anise and coriander, so i use those, and use a veggie/dried mushroom stock for the base
and cinamon, ginger, onion too
Otber research shows that grass fed free range beef broth made with reverse osmosis water and lead-free cookware had no lead. Same for "pastured" chicken broth with RO water & LF cookware. I still don't use it, for ethical reasons, but let's be fair.
Ha! That's all I got to say, as a Michigander.
+tamcon72 I'm outraged at what happen in your state. It reminds me of when, was it Chicago about 100 years ago, reversed the river so all the s**t would flow down to the poor people? Where is your government? Your entire state should immediately stop paying ALL taxes, state, local, and Federal, until the situation is resolved.
+Joseph1NJ "Your entire state should immediately stop paying ALL taxes, state, local, and Federal, until the situation is resolved." If only this were possible. : (
Frank Lipman suggests bone broth to his patients. In an interview he said he doesn't go by what science says, so I guess that explains a lot.
+Ralph Johnston "Broscience" - That gave me a chuckle. I've never seen that term before, but it's a good one.
+Bonnie Leary This made me laugh out loud!
Who is this Frank Lipman guy so I can go follow him?
The end though. I can't stop laughing.
+Zehra Fatima ....me neither....LOL
man ......................... we're all screwed.
Do you have any information regarding diet assisting in stroke recovery?
what protein powder do you recommend? Whey is dairy, Beef/bone broth are not acceptable as u mentioned and vegan proteins just don't seem to be working for me. Help!!!
I am just about to finish cooking my bone broth for 24h and I feel awful after watching this video lol so much effort for something that could potentially harm each one of my organs
Did you use the broth or throw it away in the end?
@@gm2407 We ate it in the end. It was the most delicious broth I've ever cooked or tasted. I'm not going to do it ever again tho 😢
@@Testsubjectn Yeah when I saw this I was making bone broth too. Got two containers now for this weeks meal. Also had a mug each tonight. Guess this week will be the last one before veg stock takes over. I just want the flavour in my currys.
Did a quick look for the study. It claims roughly 9-10 times more lead than the water used to make the broth.
'The risk of lead contamination in bone broth diets'
J A Monro et al. Med Hypotheses. 2013 Apr.
I will point out that soil can contain enough metals that produce grown in them can be considered unsafe and it does on occasion reach the food chain as well. Not that it is any worse than the bone broth, just that we cannot guarentee complete safety as all produce has a variability range based on the soil it is grown in.
@@gm2407 Yes and also that part where it said that kids absorb lead 4-5 time more than adults really got me. I often cook for my niece and now I know what I won't cook her.
About the soil, it seems to me that it's almost common sense that veggies are safer and healthier than meat. I grew up in South Italy and unfortunately there was a place not so far from my hometown where mafia buried radioactive waste not far from foodstuffs in the early 2000s (it was a big scandal at the time, they even made a movie about it), so we got used to thinking that vegetables aren't much healthier than meat anyways, because apparently you don't really know what's in the soil
@@Testsubjectn Not that I am promoting this, just mafia or not, I'm amazed they all didn't get shot against the wall for that by the locals. What can they threaten the locals with? Radioactive waste would poison everyone, so it is likely a death sentence, that is shocking. First I heard of that. Such horific thing they did.
Yeah, I mean lead in animals can only come from what they ingest so eating animals is eating concentrated minerals. Last 300 years feels like it has been a race to the bottom to destroy the enviorment to make money regardless of consequences. Technically all of recorded history is about resource exploitation. Doesn't feel like we have emotionally evolved as a species at all.
DR. greger!!!!! pls do one on chocolate!!!!♥♥♥^♥^
What about the bones from factory raised chickens, are they okay?...
:( so sad
WHY CAN'T FOOD BE LIKE IT WAS BEFORE WE **** everything =(
so no Pho?!
Sure you can have Pho. Pho Chay is the version you want.
you can get all of the benefits from bone broth through plants.
Saving mankind one vid at a time. :)
Would this affect cane sugar processed with bone char? So sugar might contain lead and the numerous products made with that sugar?
Hair raising hypothesis there! I'll assume it's true and use this to cut out the non-vegan sugar in order to further reduce my sweets intake.
Superman strikes again!!!
VEGAN ALERT!!!
Instead of childishly insulating other people, how about finding some solutions? Since it is broth, the lead must be in mobile state. Lead is heavy and it may have some other chemical properties that would allow us to separate it from the broth. Bone broth is a very common traditional dish in Korea, and probably the majority of Koreans would not stop eating it. You can mock people who are getting terrible lead poisoning, saying "I told you not to eat those?", but that does not make you a better person.
-- The solution is to stop eating it.
Koreans could make veggie broth, and stop eating the bone broth. It would be less work and less cruel than trying to separate the lead from the bones.
+Jeong-hun Sin Their insults convey a much deeper hatred. Dont mind the haters. Soon enough... everyone will be more occupied with the economic collapse than bone broth.
What about bone broth made from grass-fed lambs' shanks or "grassfed-and-then-finished/fattened-up-on-grains" cows' bones?
Not asking about future but past indiscretions. lol
So much for demi-glace.
Now, the question arises... what if they didn't?
4 people who just ate bone broth disliked this
hoff36 I just ate bone broth...
Don't forget "Mad Cow" was found in the "bones" .... that's how the whole disease began. Feeding sheep bones to cows!
***** ......I was living in England at the time. Scrapes was the disease that killed the sheep, so to still make a profit - they sold the bones (bone meal).
+houndjog Since then in my country they're no longer allowed to use brain tissue and the spine, the rest of the cow is still used for various purposes.
+houndjog if the paleo people heard about bone meal they would prop it up and put their names on it .
Schpankme Verimuch Yeah interesting work-around as long as they don't feed cows to cows. I've heard there are some countries where they still do that as well...
Schpankme Verimuch So you're saying it technically doesn't exist, it's only diagnosed now and then?
how do sardines have arsenic...? even wild caught non-gmo?
What about pork bone broth?
Does this mean (chicken) broth in cans and jars or stock cubes are contaminated with lead?
+sdushdiu haha
I make my own homemade vegetable soup, but I am worried about losing nutrients from the vegetables from cooking! Does anyone know if it is better to cook the soup on low for long hours, not reaching boiling point. Or boiling it straight away so it doesn't cook for long? I want to save as much nutrients as I can!
Is there anything people can do if they ARE contaminated w/ lead? I am thinking of the people of Detroit.
+AliceMarieM Chelation?
+AliceMarieM Agree with Joseph. I love that all these urban gardens are springing up in the D, but hope that the soil is properly remediated prior to any crops being planted.
tamcon72 Important precaution that I seriously doubt is being done.
to be honest, its disturbing.... a close friend of mine was swearing by bone broth and drank it religiously throughout her pregnancy. they lost the baby. not to say every single health disorder and disaster is from animal products, but every single link is right there with big red flag saying,"not healthy!"
what about chicken collagen type II supplements for arthritis? :( this was the only thing that could possible help with this problem... not reassuring at all to know it might be contaminated
+Inês Pereira Have you watched Dr.Greger's arthritis / bone videos?
Please see all the health info on my page. I'm sure there will be relevant info for you. facebook.com/Natural-h-pylori-info-sites-456560851220701/?fref=ts
Dr. Greger, broth from beef bones is the more popular source of bone broth. Most recommend bones from grass fed cattle. Is there data to suggest the same lead toxicity in beef bones?
+Off The Grid Health Have you watched his videos about grass fed beef?
+natureasintended I've watched many of his videos but missed the ones on grass feed beef. Will do.
And I was just listening to the book "Eat Dirt" where he advocates drinking bone broth. I immediately thought, "what? really?"
the diet I'm looking at says to drink it daily !
+Kim Bushart
meanwhile, if people ate dirt, by not over washing everything they get from the garden...there we be no need to worry about b12
lol ironic.
+overlogg Dirt isn't a reliable source of B12. Get your level tested four months before testing for an accurate result (otherwise falsely high level, showing whats in the blood from the supp and not whats reached the cells). Make sure you ask for a printout and not take your doctors word for it. See B12deficiency.info
BONE BROOTH!!
Bone broth for your daily dose of heavy metal.
Buy organic products
Peleo/keto's-Fans biggest excuse always is ..."oh but its free range and organic".......LOL
prove it!
Bet he’s vegan 😂😂😂
Lol eating boiled bones. Meat eating folk sure are weirdos. I wonder if they look at people and wonder what their bones taste like.
+Angry Baboon Well, to be fair, bone consumption at least doesn't directly increase animal deaths.
Lorenzo di Napoli It still supports the industry if you buy them
+tamcon72 Yes but statistically it has gone down since the dawn of man.
Realalist True.
VeganGains'SlightlyLessRetardedTwin Except I never said any of the things you just claimed, such as being 'emotional' or 'disgusted'.
Your response directed at me is 100% pure emotional. Also you are projecting your own obvious insecurities about your lack of 'manliness' at me. I am ten times the man you will ever be. Rather than offend me, all your comment did was prove that you are an insecure, angry little boy. I pity you.
Just stop eating!
