Thank you for a video that is not about Trump

I am from Turkey Raised with Mediterranean diet and raised my son the same way We moved to US when he was 3,5 years old and kept cooking at home never introduced processed food or sodas to him as long as I could He is 21 years old now and makes his own shopping He never even think about buying sodas or bacon or anything processed This is the best thing I have ever made for my son 😊 I saw in US parents and grandparents giving their 2-3 year old children coke by adding water in it so they can drink it. I was shocked. How you give these to a child that you love and poison them

A good tip I got If you find it too difficult, just start by ADDING wholefoods to the plate of what you already are eating, and try eat those first.

I grew up in Greece in the 70’s and here’s what we ate (the whole country) - light breakfast, slice of bread with butter and jam or honey. Big lunch - main meal of the day - after 2pm (natural intermittent fasting), light supper snack no later than 8pm. Dinner was NEVER a sit down meal more of a snack - fruits veggies nuts, possibly some dairy or yogurt. 1. Red meat once per week, primarily lamb or pork - not beef. Chicken as a substitute for red meat often. 2. Fish once or twice per week, small fish, sardines, minnows, calamari, octopus, mullets, sea bass or branzino 3. Salad with every lunch. There was no lunch without a Greek salad - greens in the winter - tomatoes cucumbers feta onion in the summer (seasonal salads). Salad dressing was strictly Olive oil with red wine vinegar and sea salt plus oregano. 4. Legumes, beans, lentils and fresh organic veggies every day. Soups like bean soup lentil soup chickpea soup, etc. Fried foods like French fries were introduced in the 80’s. Fried was only fried fish like cod, calamari or minnows. Cereal for breakfast was introduced in the 80’s no good.

Buy whole food...cook for yourself.... (I've been a chef for 35 years)

I have been a lacto vegetarian since birth and gave up dairy about 10 years ago. So now I am on a whole food plant based diet, with no added sugar and very little salt. I am in my later half of 60s but look early 40s or even in late 30s when well rested. I have no wrinkles on my face. My blood tests are excellent and my total cholesterol is about 150 (below 200 is the current guideline). I do take B12 supplements.

If I were restricted to eating only low or non fat dairy, I probably wouldn't consume dairy at all. Non fat Greek yogurt is just gross. Full fat Greek yogurt is sublime. I feel like satiety should be a larger part of this conversation.

Stop eating processed food...simple.

It’s heartening to hear people mention climate, as it’s become such political discussion.

I've been vegan since entering my 40's (now 47) and am healthier and stronger than ever. I get regular detailed blood panels (twice annually)

How exciting to hear Dr. Willett speak. I have been a part of the Harvard Nurse's Study for 40 some years, and have always respected his work. Thank you for this very informative interview, David.

The number of negative cardiovascular events in this country dwarfs all of the cancer.

My Dad used to say that the healthiest diet was to walk away from the table. Everything in moderation.

Don't smoke or drink alcohol.

We’re the only creature on the planet that doesn’t know what to eat.

Diet is one thing, but genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors also contribute to one's health. That's why it's so difficult to tease out the "perfect" diet.

David! I had to check to see if i had the right host! So refreshing to see you doing something other than bringing up 45's name. Thank you!

The reason whole-fat foods are generally healthier than low-fat or no-fat foods, is the lack of added sugar. Food usually tastes terrible when the fat is removed, so to compensate for that, sugar is typically added. If you eat something with no fat and no sugar, it probably has no flavor. When it comes to fat or sugar, fat is absolutely the lesser evil, so go for full-fat yogurt, instead of the non-fat yogurt that has teaspoons of sugar added
