If all a plant-based diet could do is prevent and reverse the number one killer of adults (heart disease (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-not-to-die-from-heart-disease)), shouldn’t it be the default diet until proven otherwise? (See How Not to Die from Heart Disease.) Yet the evidence for the benefits of a more plant-based diet continues to emerge for a variety of other life-threatening chronic diseases.<

What about the Keto diet? My levels have dropped and have stayed at healthy levels for over 6 months. Is it because of the high "fat" consumption?
whole foods for the win!
The standard American scores a 1/10 😅
Thank you for caring.
Once again excellent article, thanks.
Simple Diet for Diabetes by a Naturopath is :
Minimum of fresh Fruits for Breakfast is 10 × Body weight in kgms = gms
Raw vegetables and Greens is 10 × Body weight in kgms = gms
Raw Vegetables To be Eaten half at Lunch and half at dinner.
Say if the body weight is 70 kgms then Minimum of Fruits to be consumed is 700 gms
and 700 gms Raw Vegetables
Per day.
Raw vegetables to be eaten first before the home cooked meal both at lunch and Dinner.
Home cooked meal is vegetarian until the Diabetes is reversed.
At the same time No processed and Refined food and drinks.
No milk and milk products..
No animal protein
Once diabetes Reversed & healthy upto individuals how to cater and manage.
Why do people who eat a healthy omnivore diet,( meat and veg.) not get sick. Just eliminate veg. Oil, sugar, and avoid wheat, all of which come from plants.
Either side of the randle cycle works well. When you add prosessed food, failure can result
Thanks!
Preach it, brother!
Doctor, if we can only choose between two types of seeds, which seeds would you reccomend? I have chia, hemp, and flax right now and it's not cost effective to be eating all the top 5 seeds at once.
Love this amazing dedicated team teaching Whole food plant based nutrition.
You didn't make a video on the study that came out at the beginning of the month saying the optimal was 5 servings of fruits and vegetables for all cause mortality, CVD, and cancer, and that more could in fact be worse..
Awesome news. My husband has diabetes and I am pre diabetic. Over the last year we have been transitioning into a more plant based diet. It's been fun & exciting, time consuming and at times difficult. Finding you has been a huge support for us. Thank you doctor & God bless you.💕
Thank you for your amazing content, your videos always inspire me to eat even healthier!
Yeah… but plants taste bad.
could you make a video on fascia and diet?
I try to watch at least one video daily!

High carb for diabetes ? That is right and so is the fact that the moon is made out of green cheese.
