The Unusual & Unexpected Effect Of Miso?! Is It Healthy?

Dr Greger recently mentioned the unexpected effect of Miso! So is miso really healthy for us? Are there any downsides or are they negated by the benefits of soy? Is it safe to consume miso everyday? Let’s find out….

  1. I'm a physician and wanted to discuss a warning about this. love the site but the studies on miso were mostly using miso SOUP which is salt PLUS water. The research by Dr. Richard Johnson (professor and nephrologist researcher at University of Colorado) shows that if salt is taken with water, or proceeded by water, it demonstrates no hypertensive effect on the arteries compared to salt alone. Salt alone can cause immediate hypertensive effects on the arteries. I realize that Dr. Johnson is not a plant-based eater and different philosophy, but this kidney research is solid. I would caution the listeners that salt alone (and possibly miso alone- it has not been studied) has a detrimental effect on arterial walls so drink your miso soup.

  2. If you don’t already have high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and, of course, stomach cancer then it seems miso wouldn’t promote any of them. However, if you’ve already got any of these diseases (as I do) I wouldn’t touch it with a 10 foot pole.

  3. Miso is fermented soya beans probiotics sand prebiotics.Learned about it sunce1996 since start learning Japanese Macrobiotic nutrition in Middle East . One story about miso is that it protected a doctor and his team from radiation when Harishimo atomic bomb dropped as he and his team used miso.

  4. I wonder how this works with people are sensitive to salt, African-Americans are sensitive to salt. And based on what I've read Japan has encouraged their population to lower their salt intake. This is still difficult for me to believe salt is ok if it's miso, something about it seems wrong. I want it to be true, coz I miss that taste sometimes but there's some thing to be said for the statement, if it sounds to good to be true, it's probably not true. Thx for the wonderful video clips as always interesting information

  5. I have a very physical job. Between 5-9 hours of high intensity aerobic movement every day. I also have very severe night sweats occasionally due to lady changes. I feel like the super low salt recommendations are more appropriate to people who lead very sedentary lives (most people). Don't we need to replace some of the salt we sweat out? I don't eat processed foods but I absolutely add some salt when cooking. And use electrolyte drinks once a day. Any input would be appreciated.

  6. If the the reason that meso does not increase one's risk of these diseases has something to do with soy then wouldn't just adding soy to other salty foods provide a similar protection?

  7. I struggle with this. I mean, I’m sure that the healthy foods/nutrients can mitigate the risk, but is it just in THIS case or are there not likely some or many other whole plant foods/nutrients that do similarly?!?

  8. A lot of salt phobia in these comments. A lot of people listening to the conventional medical opinion (when has that ever been correct on what food to eat) rather than using their own intuition, common sense and experience. And table salt and sea or himalayan salt are very different

  9. Honestly I wouldnt take the risk…this is an observational study which has limited value. I love the channel and Dr Greger but there is more risks associated with sodium than mentioned in this video.

    So im gonna continue keeping my sodium levels way below the heart association recommendation…usually between 500-1000mg for me.

    God bless

  10. It's not the salt, it's the company that salt keeps. Think pizza, processed foods in general… The Japanese consume high amounts of salt, and a tribe in the Amazon inaccessible to the ocean consumes practically no salt. Neither of their diets are predictive of dietary diseases.

  11. Danger! The connection between high salt intake and hypertension is very far from proven. Populations in parts of the far east and Japan have very high salt intake but low incidence of high blood pressure and heart problems. Indeed, they are amongst the longest-living folk on the planet! In fact, in total contradiction, some US studies have shown that LOW salt intake resulted in increased morbidity. I suggest that we need to look elsewhere for the villain. My guess, for what it's worth, is that excess calorie intake and high sugar and fat intake are more likely to be the culprits.

  12. It it the same for Sauerkraut & Kimchi? Does Miso contain POST-biotics perhaps? I was worried that salt decimated the gut microbes (considering how effective saltwater is in the mouth). But clearly, bacteria are able to survive the brine in fermenting veg. We apparently get enough salt in vegetables, perhaps unless we're in very warm environments where we're sweating a lot. Our craving for sugar & salt are probably reflective of how it was only present in trace amounts in fruit & veg, rather than of how much we need them. Honey (like bird eggs) would've been a rare treat. Our craving for salt is probably 'turned up' to get it where we can …not such a problem when limited to whole foods.

  13. I wonder about the accuracy of this, especially as the Japanese are known to have a higher-than-average risk of haemorrhagic (i.e. bleeding) stroke. Even if it doesn't ostensibly cause hypertension, could the salt in miso be contributing in some way to that stroke risk? Also, the term miso covers preparations that do not contain soya (brown rice miso, chickpea miso, etc.), so if a soya-free miso is eaten, does it have the same effects?

  14. This is rubbish. The live, raw miso I buy is 10% salt and who puts a tablespoon into one meal anyway? 2TSP in my huge daily smoothie has 1g salt!!

  15. This info – & warning – about miso focuses ONLY on salt. Miso has a full protein enzyme content which apparently helps in digestion of foods. But, most hugely, miso is bioactive (the ignorance of this video proven by bowl of ferociously boiling bowl of soup, which destroys the probiotics). Oh yes, miso also apparently rids body of all kinds of toxins, including heavy metals & even radiation poisoning. I consider my daily drink of miso broth an important factor in my health over past 🎉couple of decades & at 75 yo, my (vegan) blood pressure is that of a teenager’s.

  16. I don't understand, Japan and Korea have the highest rates of stomach cancer in the world. How can you say there is not relationship to this. They both eat a lot of Kimchi and I imagine Miso.

  17. Sounds like the good vegan MD made that stuff up as l have followed and respected him for years ….BUT STRETCHY CITED VIDEOS ….suck….just sayin'…..the "Omnivores Review"… salt is not the enemy and one nutrient singled out kinda makes you look sound like a Ancel Keys type of sciencetist…..you know what havoc on western civilization that he has had….ohh salt intake should be respected but limited in the renal conflicted individuals…l rate the well produced video a 6/10 …. because l love Miso!
