100 Risposte a “Raw Food Diet Myths”

  1. even in children, although the parent would have to be extremely experienced and well read. Peace 🙂
    facebook. com/PlantBasedEvidencePaleoDiet?ref=ts&fref=ts

  2. Hey, have you heard of Bellyfattack yet? Just google it. There you will discover a useful free video presentation by a well established certified dietitian teaching about how you can reduce excess weight. It made it easier for Toni to lose his belly fat. I hope it will help you too.

  3. Well doctor there aren't enough studies on the benefits of raw food. Research sponsors are not interested on the results of such studies. So people are going with what makes sense to them. I feel amazing when I eat mainly raw. Give it a try if you don't believe me. Many positive changes. My doctor is happy with my results. Thank you for the videos. Best wishes.

  4. Hey there, have you considered "BELLYfatTACK" yet? Simply google it and you are going to spot bellyfattack.com There you can get a helpful free video by a longtime physician revealing how to reduce weight. It made it easier for Andrew to get rid of his belly fat. Just give it a shot. I hope it works for you too…

  5. GO FRUIT BASED LOW FAT HIGH CARB RAW VEGAN or HIGH RAW VEGAN and have more  natural energy than ever and be healthier than you ever have been.  You do NOT need a half cup of nuts per day.. in fact that is the problem with most raw diets, they are high fat filled with nuts and seeds.  Nobody NEEDS cooked broccoli tomatoes or wheat so dont let that distract you from your goal.    Just because the case studies are not there yet does not mean that its not optimal.  The difference between eating a meal of raw fruits and greens compared to cooked food ( even vegan)  is you you feel GREAT after as opposed to eating a cooked meal you usually feel a drop in energy.  

  6. and MEAT EATERS can be low in b12.  ALSO your body stores B12 for years after you go vegan.  You can get a test done with your yearly physical – Ive never been b12 deficient despite being vegan over 10 years. The benefits of being vegan even IF you need a vegan b12 supplement are far greater than NOT being vegan / raw vegan.  Lets not scare people away from a vegan diet please.  

  7. I do not believe in stuDIES anymore, people can write anything about anything

    The only proof i have that raw/ living does good on me is myself, my body, my living experience everyday life

    I feel better eating this way, i have recovered from diseases etc etc

  8. I believe that a raw food diet would be fine for children under two! True, they do not have the stomach capacity to eat enough raw fruit, vegies, and nuts/seeds, to make up the calories. However, I believe it would be correct to say that most raw foodists are also naturalists and therefore are probably nursing their children. My son is almost two and he still gets most of his calories from me. This is clearly the way nature intented.

  9. I agree, not everybody has/wants to eat raw. Healthy Vegan and some Rawfood is good enough. But Babys and very young children should be nursed! Vegan or RawFood is not enough for them!!!

  10. I started to watch food matters on Netflix when I got a little concerned about what they were saying, so I googled if Dr. Greger had any research on this topic and low and behold he does.

    Thank you for saving me an hour of time, I can Always count of Dr. Greger to find my nutritional questions answered.

  11. Oh how good it is to hear someone credible bust the enzyme nutrition myth! I had a comment reposted on a raw discussion group (by Fred Patenaude) saying the very same thing. A basic knowledge of high school science tells us that plant enzymes are irrelevant to human digestion and that, as they are proteins, we can make all we need. 👍

  12. Open question gang: did the doc just say dry roasted nuts are just as healthy as raw? I know it's a little nit picking, but I prefer the roasted myself.

  13. There are always extremists… when vegan is not enough, some dudes want to eat 100% raw… In few years some will only eat their dump.

  14. An experiment I have never seen, but would like to see, is a nutritional absorption comparison between cooked foods (steamed or whatever is best) vs raw food processed with a high-speed blender (not to the point of heating it above 105 degrees).

  15. A couple years ago I discovered and began frequenting a restaurant whose main sell was “All Live (Raw), Vegan, Organic, and Non-GMO” food. The owner there got me hooked on the idea Dr. Gregor discusses in this video — the Raw Food Fallacy! That place was wonderful, and still is – but they were also creative. Me on my own? I spent months taking an hour and a half sometimes trying to chew one meal’s worth of all-raw vegetables. <shakes head> Lmao. I’m glad Dr. Greger has a video dispelling that myth. Save some time and cook your veggies.

  16. Replace pizza, burgers, donuts and soft drinks with vegetables and fruits – raw or cooked – and you'll do yourself a huge service.

  17. that is a typical way of thinking from someone who is over-intellectual. if you want to give me dietary advice i want to see your face first. and it seems like you spent an incredible amount of time studing, between four walls, wich isnt a healthy balanced lifestyle. you may be right (exept for the b12 wich is naturally produced by the body like all the mammals) but you fall in the common trap of " fear of lacking " wich leads you to over-eating, like many, and as a result, your body doesn't have time to process the nutriment, so you shit 80% of the nutriment, like most modern citizen do.
    only one meal a day, raw vegan b4 going to sleep is the optimum for the body + fresh air, sports etc… the night the body process and the day after, the body use it ! common sense… and to finish, why haven't we a lighter device incorporated in our body ? do you really think mother nature would have forgotten something as important as that ? really ???

  18. My estimated EAR (Average Estimated Requirements) of all the "necessary nutrients" (just to play their game) is 500% to over 1000% for my all raw diet, except for Selenium, which is only 100% but I usually greatly limit my seeds and nuts intake. So the study that the good dr refers to here is very misleading, which is common in most medicine especially nutrition science.

  19. Like many things the answer is it depends. I have never understood why some hardcore raw vegans claim that any cooked food is literally poison.

  20. VitA aka antioxidant is increased with cooking , vitC is decreased by cooking . Cooking destroys all the enzymes and cooking decreases about 10-20% of the minerals. It is not good tho to eat raw greens and vegetables because of the high cellulose content and also because of the tannins , oxalates (in kale, spinach and others ) and other toxins and heavy metals like cadmium ( heavy metal ) , lactucarium ( an opiate ) in lettuce , Anthraquinone is another toxic compound in greens to watch out for , oxalic acid , Greens have lots of Salicylic acid which is a strong acid and hard on the liver,
    Greens contain Goitrogens but not all of them , only the cruciferous ones.
    I'm a raw vegan and I keep greens to minimum because we aren't meant to eat lots of greens we have hard time digesting it because we aren't herbivores . (Our intestines are not that long nor do we have 2 or 3 stomachs ) We are frugivores and I've been on 85-90% fruit , berry, melon based diet + superfoods , little bit of seaweeds and herbs .
    When I do eat greens and vegetables then I ferment them and I of course avoid spinach the most … kale too . I had personally bad experience with spinach and kale :/ .. that made me search about greens and think if they are for a fact safe to eat .. at least raw.

  21. Why is everyone getting so annoyed. He didn't say raw bad, he said raw or cooked can both be good. I for one cannot function well without legumes. I tried. Now that I'm in classes for my dietetics major, I know why I needed that extra protein. I. Me. Greger has said in other videos that everyone is a bit different. To anyone that thrives on a raw diet, congrats. You have found what works for you, but believe me it does not work for everyone. No matter how much fruit and veg you buy.

  22. Dr. Virginia Vetrano writes about an authority who contends that irritation from putting extremely hot foods into the stomach, can cause cancer. Dr. Vetrano also writes that "Heating any food, destroys much of its vitamin, mineral, and protein content and poisonous inorganic acids are formed. The all uncooked diet is most healthful."

    Marilyn Willison, of Hippocrates Health Institute, writes, "We should not cook our food. During this apparently harmless process, vital enzymes are destroyed, proteins are coagulated (making them difficult to assimilate), vitamins are mostly destroyed with the remainder changing into forms that are difficult for the body to utilize, pesticides are restructured into even more toxic compounds, valuable oxygen is lost, and free radicals are produced.

    According to Viktoras Kulvinskas, nutrient losses can be as high as 80% or more. Other studies suggest that cooked proteins (coagulated) are up to 50% less likely to be utilized by the body."

    Dr. Francis M. PottengerJr., wrote about his experiments with 900 cats over a period of ten years. Pottenger fed some of the test cats raw meat and other test cats, he fed cooked meats. Pottenger wrote, "Cooked meat fed cats were irritable. The females were dangerous to handle, occasionally biting the keeper…" The cooked meat fed cats suffered with "pneumonia, empyema, diarrhea, osteomyelitis, cardiac lesions, hyperopia and myopia (eye diseases), thyroid diseases, nephritis, orchitis, oophoritis (ovarian inflammation), arthritis and many other degenerative diseases."

    No cooked food is benign. Cooked foods act malignantly by exhausting your bodily energies, inhibiting your healing, and decreasing your alertness, efficiency and productivity.

    Cooked foods suppress the immune system. the heat of cooking destroys vitamins, enzymes, minerals, nucleic acids, chlorophyll, and damages fats, making them indigestible. The fatty matter becomes a local irritant. The heat disorganizes the protein structure, leading to deficiency of some of the essential amino acids. The fibrous or woody element of food (cellulose) is changed completely from its natural condition by cooking. When this fibrous element is cooked, it loses its broomlike quality to sweep the alimentary canal clean. The fibrous matter is changed from its natural state to a poison. Raw food has the best balance of water, nutrients and fiber to meet your body's needs.

    Cooking causes the inorganic elements to enter the blood, circulate through the system, settle in the arteries and veins and deaden the nerves. After cooking, the body loses its flexibility, arteries lose their pliability, nerves lose the power of conveying impressions, the spinal cord becomes hardened, the tissues throughout the body contract, and the human being becomes prematurely old. In many cases this matter is deposited in the various joints of the body, causing enlargement of the joints. In other cases, it accumulates as concretions in one or more of the internal organs, finally accumulating around the heart valves.

    Raw foods are easily digested, requiring only 24-36 hours for transit time through the digestive tract, as compared to 40-100 hours for cooked foods. This increases the threat of putrefaction and disease. When you eat cooked carbohydrates, proteins and fats, you are eating numerous mutagenic (carcinogenic) products causes by cooking.

    Dr. Karl Elmer experimented with top athletes in Germany, producing improvement in their performance by changing to a purely raw food diet. Raw food provides you with more strength, energy and stamina.

    On raw foods, the mind (memory and power of concentration) will be clear. You will be more alert, think sharper and more logically.

    Raw foods will not leave you with a tired feeling after the meal. There is a tendency toward sleepiness after a cooked meal. Raw foods require less total sleep and achieve a more restful sleep.

    When we treat foods with thermal fire, we lose up to 97% of the water soluble vitamins (Vitamins B and C) and up to 40% of the lipid soluble vitamins (Vitamins A, D, E and K). We need only one-half the amount of protein in the diet if raw protein foods are eaten rather than protein foods which are cooked. Heating also changes the lipids. These changed fats are incorporated into the cell wall and interfere with the respiration of the cell, causing an increase in cancer and heart disease.

    When grasses are separately covered with fertilizers that are both raw and cooked, the grass grown with the raw fertilizer grows 400% more tonnage over that grown with the same amount per acre of cooked food fertilizer.

    After eating cooked foods, the blood immediately shows an enormous increase of leukocytes of white blood cells-corpuscles. The white blood cells are a first line of defense and are, collectively, popularly called "the immune system". This spontaneous multiplication of white corpuscles always takes place in normal blood immediately after the introduction of any virulent infection or poison into the body since the white corpuscles are the fighting organisms of the blood. There is no multiplication of white corpuscles when uncooked food is eaten. The constant daily fight against the toxic effects of cooked food unnecessarily exhausts the body's strength and vitality, thus causing disease and the modern shortness of life.

    Cooked foods quickly ferment and putrefy in the intestinal tract. On a raw food diet you will experience the elimination of body odor and halitosis. Cooked food causes allergies.

    If you consult the ancient scriptures and sacred writings, you will read that in Eden, people did not eat cooked food with "burning fire". In fact, Chinese, Egyptian, Indian and Hebrew accounts, indicate that people were expelled from Paradise for using fire to cook food. Methuselah, it is contended, because he ate only raw foods, lived to an old age.

    The Bhagavad Gita says, "Pious men eat what the brilliant forces of nature leave over them after the offering. But those ungodly, cooking good food, sin as they eat it." They're speaking of the ill health to the individual, our race and the world caused by fire-cooked food.

    In the Essene Gospel of Peace, a third century Aramaic Essene manuscript, Jesus is described as saying, "Cook not your food with the fire of death, which is the fire that blazed outside you that is hotter than your blood. Cook only with the fire of life," that is, the natural heat of the day. Raw foods are delectable and have more flavor than cooked foods. There is no need to jazz up its flatness with unhealthful additives. These flavor-enhancing additives can irritate your digestive system or over-stimulate other organs. Avoid these harmful additives: sugar, salt, pepper, spices, condiments, ketchup, mayonnaise, dressing and toppings. Hannah Allen wrote, "Raw foods contain live enzymes, which influence digestive efficiency-cooking destroys all enzymes. Moreover, the consumption of raw foods stimulates gastric enzyme secretion, necessary to initiate good digestion. Besides, the more raw foods you eat as your first course, the less cooked foods you will be able to eat. Ideally, we should never cook any foods."

    Arthur M. Baker in "Awakening Our Self Healing Body", writes, "Overly cooked foods literally wreck our body. They deny needed nutrients to the system since heat alters foodstuffs such that they are partially, mostly, or wholly destroyed. Nutrients are coagulated, deaminized, caramelized and rendered inorganic and become toxic and pathogenic in the body."

    Baker adds, "Virulent bacteria find soil in dead food substances only and cannot exist on living cells. Cooked food spoils rapidly, both inside and outside our body, whereas living foods are slow to lose their vital qualities and do not as readily become soil for bacterial decay."

    Professor Edmund Szekeley wrote concerning the Essene scrolls, "Eat nothing, therefore, which a stronger fire than the fire of life has killed… Cook not, neigher mis all things one with another, lest your bowels become as steaming bogs."
    Let nature be your truth and guide, not superficial nay saying.

  23. it is not clear to me why a cooked diet have more b12 than a raw. Can nutrition facts help me understand that b12 issue (in this specific case, but also in general)?

  24. Warnings, and a guide to a successful and healthy life-long vegan diet:
    A raw vegan diet is not for everyone. My mom is vegan like me but she can't handle raw vegetables (all organic and freshly picked from our garden by the way). Every time she eats raw veggies, she'd get stomach discomfort and she has to take a hot cup of double-strength ginger tea to warm up her stomach in order to make the discomfort to quickly dissipate away. So she always eat cooked veggies with added ginger with each "steaming hot" meals. If you had ever go to a Chinese restaurant, especially in Hong Kong and most Cantonese owned restaurants, almost all of them would add a few slices of ginger in their stir-fried vegetables to counteract the cool effect of the veggies.

    In Chinese Medicine, foods also has an extra dimension to them apart from their antioxidant and nutritional contents that is not known in modern nutritional science but as you'll see later that it provides vital knowledge for you to determine if you're suitable for raw foods or cooked foods as well as what types of plants is more suitable for you. According to Chinese Medicine, most leafy green vegetables and melons (with the exception of Kale and Chinese broccoli) are classed as cool foods, whereas ginger, turmeric, galangal, cinnamon, hot chili peppers, pepper corn, cilantro, garlic, scallion, chives, leek and onions are classed as warm to hot foods, with the hottest being cinnamon, hot chili peppers and pepper corn.

    So according to Chinese Medicine, each meal should have an appropriate ratio of cool and hot foods types, depending on your body condition at a certain time. If you're more sensitive to cool foods, like my mom, then you should not force yourself to eat a raw diet but should eat cooked foods with plenty of gingers and/or other warm/hot foods mentioned above. If you force yourself to go raw when it clearly is not right for you, then you'll get sick very fast. If your body condition at the time is hot, then a raw vegan diet is the most beneficial to you. All this is not just a theory. It is evidence-based medical knowledge that has been known for thousands of years ago in China, and is something to be taken seriously if you are choosing whether you want to go raw vegan or cooked vegan foods.

    Bottom line is that every body can go vegan, but you must know your body type (either cool, neutral or hot) and then eat foods that gives the opposite effect to balance your body condition out. If you're body type is neutral, which most young people are, then you're likely to be handle any kinds of foods without having to balance the warm and cool foods. But once you're in your 70s you're more likely to be either having a cold or hot body type and you will need to choose food types more appropriately in order to enjoy optimum health from the vegan foods you eat.

    Postpartum period for most women tends to be that of a cold body type and hence requires cooked foods with a lot of hot/warm food types included in each meals, such as peppercorn or hot chili pepper and ginger all the way through this period.

    Finally, most elderly in their 80s and 90s tend to lack the ability to generate enough body heat and so eating a cold, raw diet (especially in the middle of winter) is going to be very taxing on the body because the cold foods they eat will force their aging body to crank up all the aging mitochondria in every cells of their body to heat up the cold foods to body temperature. This is very taxing on an elderly body given that they hardly have enough energy devoted to proper digestion, let alone having to supply extra energy to heat the raw foods and drinks up to body temperature.

    According to statistics, more elderly people die during winter and especially in the middle of the night than any other time of year, because that is the coldest hours of the 24 hour cycle. So they basically died from the lack of ability to generate enough body heat to keep adequate blood circulation so that a stroke can happen whilst they are asleep. Hence, the elderly should be served cooked hot foods, not raw, in order for them to conserve as much body heat as possible to prolong their lifespan as much as possible. The "ability" to generate body heat and hence blood flow is called Qi (or Chi) in Chinese Medicine, and elderly people usually has significantly diminishing Qi already. Wherever Qi moves inside the body, blood follows. If Qi gets too weak, blood will likely form clogs and a stroke is inevitable. Qi is the life force that keeps us and every other animals alive. In other words, Qi only exist when we are alive. Once we are dead, Qi no longer exist in the body.

  25. You didn't mention the studies about Advanced Glycation End Products, the pro oxidants found heavily in cooked foods that age people rapidly. Look at any of the PCRM doctors compared to raw foodists. It's almost night and day.

  26. The question arises: is the increased availability of antioxidants in cooked carrots, for example, what is we needed and that it is not too much? Also, another issue, although the availability of antioxidants has increased, has something changed in carrots, something that has changed with heat treatment, at least, carbohydrates? However, apart from humans, no beings in nature which eats cooked food …
    Sorry for my bad English.

  27. And what if a child feeds on legumes sprouts, seeds and walnuts, cereals sprouts, and also eats fruit and drank smoothies with green vegetables? All raw.
    It's unbelievable that it does not achieved the caloric requirements, as well as the requirements for the micronutrients with the food I gave. 100 grams of walnuts, 300-400 grams of soaked grain is not much that could not be eaten? Why can not the smoothie be made from wild green leaves and medicinal herbs? Usual nut has nearly 700 calories per 100 grams and 15 grams of protein, pumpkin seed has about 550 calories and about 20 grams of protein, and all these dense foods contain all the minerals and vitamins, even, perhaps b12, if you have grown it yourself…Et cetera …

  28. One of the main reasons I fell in love with Dr Greger was his sing song voice and making all this stuff about nutrition fun and not so serious that actually encouraged me to eat healthier because nutrition can get intense esp. around family members. I wish he would go back to the jokes and his tone of voice he once had

  29. Raw food diet can work excellently. Only, you have to get used to sprouting and germinating all manner of seeds. Contrarywise, it should be a combination between cooked and uncooked.

  30. no food on earth is better assimilated by cooking. nuts and seeds are the only thing i would consider to be more digestive friendly only due to enzyme inhibitor destruction but this info is absolutely innaccurate if they are sprouted. Weston Price, Howard Loomis, Edward Howell, Royal Lee, Pottenger, Paul Kouchakoff, Aajonus Vonderplanitz, Max Gerson, Norman Walker…all Phds and MDs who will gladly show you all of their studies, clients, and science through massive study and experimentation proving that no food on earth is more digestible by cooking, myself and my clients will testifu to the same…denaturation and WBC reaction happens with every single food that is heat treated. Fermentation of raw foods, sprouting, predigestion with raw unheated honey, raw lemon juice, etc are ways to make tougher to digest high cellulose and high enzyme inhibitor foods such as seeds/nuts more digestible…nutribulleting and juicing make foods much more accessible although nutribulleting keeps all fiber intact with the juice which is much more effective to the blood stream and endocrine system, but the only thing that happens with cooking is caustic byproducts, carcinogens, cell wall destruction, and denaturation at the molecular level. Any one of the people above and all indigenous raw food omnivorous cultures on earth will prove this is the case. raw meats raw milk raw cheeses raw butter raw eggs raw fruits raw veggies raw sprouted or fermented nuts/seeds is the perfect state of God's foods. Stop spreading the mainstream scientism lie please, and research these mens' great works. Selene river press historical archives have a treasure trove of info on this.

  31. the reason humans developed their big brain was that they discovered fire so they could cook their food and thereby break down the membrains of cells to absorb nutrients more efficient.

  32. You are looking too much at phisical evidence. This about prana/life energy. Every organ has it is own elektromagnetic field…ect

  33. But know that Dr. Greger now thinks raw nuts are best because anything cooked above 212 degrees wrecks the oils in nuts. Eat nuts and seeds raw.

  34. I'm on a raw food diet. I do have to eat alllll day and I take a vegan B12 and vitamin D3 supplement. I also eat a lot of healthy fats like nuts,seeds and avocados. But I don't have any problems or deficiencies. I also still eat oats…. But 100% raw food may not work for everyone

  35. Big fan of yours.
    That being said: all I heard is that it‘s not that easy – not that convenient – to eat raw.
    What I didn‘t hear was about the adverse health effects of cooking… AGEs, Maillard effect, starch turning into sugar, etc., etc.
    I might be wrong, but doesn‘t that need to be adressed too?

    And as for the nutrients in carrots being more accessible when being cooked: how about (raw) blended?

  36. BULLSHIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like your video's but f*c* this one!!!!! human's? tired and less energy on a raw diet ? RUUBISH ABSOLUTE DISOPOINTING RUBBISH!!!!!!!! I know a man named mark tassi who could out run you like you was a slug and he is a fruitaran everything he eat's is raw and he get's everything *EVERYTHING he need's on a fruit diet this must also be why you sound so gentle in this one because you know darn well that this is a hollow study. ABSOLUTE RUBBISH OLD MAN*!!!!!!!!!! How is it better to get something from cooking when you could get the same thing from the raw fruit's and leaves? *THIS STUDY IS *HORSESHIT*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  37. Wow, this is the 2ND video in a row that I've watched of Dr. Greger's today, & after having watched, I don't know, around 100 of his vids (over the years), ALL of which I BELIEVED…these last two make me WONDER ABOUT HIM!!!

    I mean, in the last vid I watched, he actually referred to the microwave as a GENTLE way of cooking!?!? And in here, he says (in so many words) that NO plant foods are any less nutritious when cooked!?!?

    I MYSELF BELIEVE, that the NATURALLY HARDER plant foods (ie. beans, grains, potatoes, broccoli, carrots, brussel sprouts, kale, etc.) SHOULD BE heated/cooked, but the softer ones SHOULD NOT. (I mean, even HE mentions (briefly) about our stomach acids here in this vid!?!?) If you HEAT/COOK SOFT vegetables, PLUS they get "PROCESSED" AGAIN, IN OUR STOMACH ACIDS…then what nutrients are left in them THEN (not even asking about their MICROnutrients)?!?!

  38. Raw is natural, cooked is not. Everything else are lies/propaganda. How can someone in his natural state of diet be inferior to someone that eats cooked food or even a combination? it's impossible by the logic of nature. I think people pushing out these ideas are not even human.

  39. A great book is Catching Fire by Dr. Richard Wrangham. It's a great book and it's about how cooking made us human. Homo Sapiens have never been on a diet of 100% raw food. These suburban raw food people don't really know what they are talking about.

  40. I think having a good hard list of optimal ways to concsume different foods would be a good resource. IDK if this info is presented in your books but I guess I'll know soon enough 😉

  41. I was vegan for over a year when I started following dr mcdougal diet, whole plant based with no oils, little salt for 1y8months, my health was still not improving. After going mostly raw and I mean by that mostly fruitarian (because no one in their right mind eats raw grains as said in the video…), my health improved by miles. I exercise almost every day and many times twice, BJJ and Muay Thai, I run a few times a week and do weight/boy exercises, so fruitarian diet is more than adequate, I challenge Dr Greger for a blood test. On my last test Drs thought I was on multi vitamin supplements. I am doing this fruitarian diet for 4 years now, my skin is so clear and smooth, never was like that my whole life, big skin rashes disappeared, sleep way better.

  42. Very well said. Thank you for the video. That sealed my doubt about wether eating raw only or with cooked. I was going back and forth on it but still going for 60% to 70% raw and rest cooked.

  43. from london brixton uk . i went raw vegan, green juiced with lemons n ginger 5-6 cups per day. big bowls of salads. i reversed my cancer tumours. i am cancer free. i am healthy. no drug did this just Godly food.

  44. No hay evidencia de que la dieta crudivegana sea mejor que la dieta vegana, peto tampoco hay evidencia de que no lo sea. Por lo tanto cabe la posibilidad de qué la dieta crudivegana Sea incluso 10 veces mejor que la dieta vegana y e el combate de las enfermedades.

  45. Dr. Greger is talking like there is a baby sleeping in the other room that he doesn't want to wake up.. Great video though. Cleared up another youtube video I spent 1.40 minutes listening to. I thought, let me see what Dr. Greger says as he is my go-to guy!!

I commenti sono chiusi.
