A review of reviews on the health effects of tea, coffee, milk, wine, and soda.
Check out what the exhaustive review of meta-analyses and systematic reviews on major diet-related chronic diseases found for food groups in What Are the Best Foods? ((http://nutritionfacts.org/video/what-are-the-best-foods).
The alcohol video I mentioned was: Is It Better to Drink a Little Alcohol than None at All? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-it-better-to-drink-little-alcohol-than-none-at-all/) and the Parkinson’s video: Pepper’s & Parkinson’s: The Benefits of Smoking Without the Risks? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/peppers-and-parkinsons-the-benefits-of-smoking-without-the-risks/). I also mentioned Dairy & Cancer (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/dairy-and-cancer/). <

This reminds me of the book “The hundred year lie”
I'm missing the conclusion on drinks on this one, so which ones are best?
Can we keep this website and resource free?
When money walks in the room…ethics, walk out.
Crony capitalism is the problem. Continue to sue and bankrupt tobacco industry and fossil fuel industry for mass murder
like how boosters is safe & effective
I remember in a video Dr Gregor showing a study where coffee drinkers had a lower risk of dying, about 15% less compared to people who don't drink coffee, and a lower risk of getting many diseases, but this seemed not that important to his overall view of coffee. Has tea got a better health risk reduction than coffee? I know a minority of the population might have negative side effects to coffee as they metabolise caffeine slower, but for the majority it is a major benefit. I am a promoter of a special coffee, so it is of personal and business interest, but there is a lot of research on the benefits of coffee.
Thank you for the video
Que bueno tener todas estas informaciones, es muy buen canal,muchas gracias Doctor.
5:47 It's actually not hard to imagine a biologically plausible mechanism. Consuming carbonated beverages increases ghrelin; serum ghrelin levels are negatively associated with esophageal cancer. Sources (titles only, can't post links) –
➡ "Carbon dioxide in carbonated beverages induces ghrelin release and increased food consumption in male rats: Implications on the onset of obesity"
➡"Serum ghrelin and esophageal and gastric cancer in two cohorts in China"
A lot of talk, nothing useful.
Are the tea & coffee studies funded by the tea & coffee companies?
How about black tea compared with green tea and coffee?
What about mushroom coffee?
I am just trying to quit drinking Monster energy drinks 😢 I finally quit soda at least.
Water is the best beverage.
All the nutritional facts and plant based haters, comment here…doing a haters collection to show others
The title is a bit misleading. No conclusions drawn on the best beverages. But thanks for the good info anyway, Doc.
I always got firsthand smoke. My lungs love me for it. Many years of first hand smoke. I was so surprised that I got lung cancer. Who would of thought?
I love this channel!
Water
👍 Whole food plant based for the environment and health; vegan for the victims!
I grow up drinking milk for its potassium, as well. What is a better source of potassium? Potatoes?
how about pee?
💕
Thank you so much for the coverage <3
About 10 years ago, I wrote a 14 page research paper (with 30+ peer reviewed sources), a project for the University of Minnesota, on the health benefits of black tea and green tea. Now, this is brewed tea made from tea bags, not pre-made iced tea that we can purchase in a can or a bottle. As the research stated back then, and now as well, there were less cancers, less dementia, less diabetes, less health issues in general with the tea drinkers than with those who didn't drink any brewed tea of any kind. Hundreds of thousands of tea drinkers, all over the world, have been tracked for decades regarding their health and well-being. The tea drinkers all had better health outcomes over the decades.
so cancer patients cannot eat the saturated fats contained in meat and dairy products, they cannot eat carbohydrates full of sugars, what should they eat all week, if you give me a vegetable diet program, do I have to remove white meats too?
How are we here in 2023 STILL debating whether inhaling smoke from any source, second hand or third hand or otherwise, is unhealthy? Can we move on… The jury is in on that one.

Thans you, always a pleasure!
Ok, so what are the best beverages? What you told us was that sugar-water and alcohol are bad, milk is a mixed bag with certain plant-based foods being a good nutritional alternative, tea and coffee are ehh, and green tea is better than coffee. So, what are the best beverages? Kefir water, spring water, and many cups of green tea?
