Nonhuman Molecules Lining Our Arteries

DESCRIPTION: The foreign meat molecule Neu5Gc builds up in human tumors and atherosclerotic plaques and may play an inflammatory role in the progression of both diseases. See The Inflammatory Meat Molecule Neu5Gc (nutritionfacts.org/video/the-inflammatory-meat-mol…) for background and Friday's video-of-the-day How Tumors Use Meat to Grow: Xeno-Autoantibodies (nutritionfacts.org/video/how-tumors-use-meat-to-gr…) for the role it might play in cancer growth. Inflammation (also caused by exogenous endotoxins) is one of the three steps en route to fatal heart disease. See Arterial Acne (nutritionfacts.org/video/arterial-acne/), Blocking the First Step of Heart Disease (nutritionfacts.org/video/blocking-the-first-step-o…, and Making Our Arteries Less Sticky (nutritionfacts.org/video/making-our-arteries-less-…. Antioxidants found predominantly in plants may also decrease inflammation within the body. Nuts may be particularly useful in this regard. Tomorrow we'll close out the Neu5Gc story with Meat May Exceed Daily Allowance of Irony (nutritionfacts.org/video/meat-may-exceed-daily-all….

is it better to eat a cup of kale, or 3 cups of kale with a small porkchop? because the porkchop increases my appetite so much

I take it you are a vegan Dr Greger!
-
I love your videos, they are so full of good researched info. I noticed how you sometimes refer to the evolution of humans though and wonder if you've objectively put in as much research to the ideas of creation vs. evolution? In my own experience, it seems like evolution requires more faith than creation to believe it.
-
Haha, seems that way.
-
The theory of Evolution has plenty of Evidence to support it. Meanwhile- At least in my opinion- Creationism lacks the evidence that would otherwise be testable. Evolution is not based off faith, its a summery of hundreds of years of scientific research.
