First
A video on NEEM TREE
When are your videos on the ketogenic diet & intermittent fasting being released? You said they would be released at the beginning of this year…
When studies observe the effects of boiling plants is the cooking water always discarded?
I love an unblended soup so the cooking water is consumed.
Is the boiling breaking down or dissolving out nutrients into the water?
ARE THE FRUITS & VEGGIES IN THESE STUDIES ORGANIC OR NON ORGANIC?
THNX FOR ALL YOU DO FOR US!
MANY BLESSINGS✌💖
…more than others
Hello Sir Greger, I am a huge fan and have read your book, How Not To Die. Just mind-blowing. I have recently realised that I have IBS and I am obliged to go on a FODMAP diet, which is very difficult on a plant-based diet. I was hoping you might have some tips for that and possibly discuss it a little. what can be done to eliminate this issue once and for all? Thanks.
If boiling loses the effect, is it in the broth?
These test are always incomplete and stupid in many cases.
Dr. Greger, you’re great. 🙂
Dr. Gregor, you should post more videos…….I really think you should do this more often. Not only for people in USA but for the whole world. Love from Bangladesh 👍
hey doc, thank you for the great contribution you have made to humanity!
will you be posting any research on the 'plant meats' (eg beyond meat, impossible burger,) any time soon? thanks!
QUESTION: is non organic produce so detrimental to our health that if we can’t afford organic we should stop eating fruits and veggies all together?
An apple a day really keeps doctors away
I can't help but wonder how a smoothie with just these ingredients would taste…
Is the implication that heating any of these fruits/vegetables, for example steaming my broccoli, I will lose the DNA repair benefits?
so is it the juice or the flesh or the lemon peel?
01:50. Lemons, persimmons, strawberries, broccoli, celery, and apples!!
Have you seen the recent Kurzgesagt video? They still practically claim there's no way to know what's good for you.
Garlic, onion, Berries, Wal Nuts (Pecans), cruciferous (beyond Broccoli) where are they? And Kiwi Fruits, sure!
when lives give you lemons: repair dna
Always love learning something new!
Good thing I don´t cook lemons….
It appears that molecular hydrogen also helps dna 🧬 repair, check out the 2019 lourdes hydrofix, it’s amazing. If u want a link on a blood sample before and after, just ask and I can share.
How about limes instead of lemons? Does the lemon need to be eaten in its entirety?
Love the videos Dr. Gregor. What do you think about the beyond meat sausages, burgers, etc. Thanks
can you make a video on grassfed animals?? it would be greatly appreciated
Eating lemons or juicing? Confused 🤔
Thank you, I used to suck lemons when I was a baby, my parents found that strange. I was body intuitive from birth.
That was a nice intro!
Do some study on watercress baldy.. dont forget to look at more studies
Just say "f**k it" and juice them all!!
Now I have a exvuse to eat raw lemmons:)
For some reason it makes you not hungry super fast, but it makes water taste sweet after :3
Are limes as good as lemons?
