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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Most important is eliminating processed sugar and processed foods. Outside of that, this doctor is stuck in the past from what he learned when he went to school. I just switched to the meat and fruit diet, with low sugar fruits not all fruit like some are doing. If he is referencing a thousand years as evidence for. Then I feel confident in promoting 250 000 years of ancestral eating patterns. Take a look at the morbidly obese folks doing the carnivore diet with almost all red meat. You would think they would be dropping like flies. And yet we see instead people losing up to 200 plus pounds in a year eliminating all sorts of health problems, skin conditions, depression, type two diabetes. Phenomenal before and after blood spectrums. What about the defensive chemicals in plants and vegetables. After three days I lost all inflammation and all ibs symptoms and have only gotten better in an array of areas. Not to mention it's all about being able to stick to a diet or lifestyle. 84% of vegans quit. Any diet that allows bread products is doomed to fail. Slow results and eventually you will over indulge. Mediterranean is fine as long as you can eliminate foods you may be sensitive to. Starting off carnivore and then introducing 1 food at a time makes a lot of sense to gage your reaction.

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

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!

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

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.

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)

Stop eating processed food...simple.

I enjoy the “out there” ppl 😅 But loooved to see D talk to someone not just sane, but very knowledgeable. He thrives in those interviews as well, with good questions! Well done sir 🫡 with tears in my eyes 🥲

For those out there who might dread a vegetarian or more plant based diet, I really have one thing to say.. That food is yummy if you do it right, and you can eat immense quantities of it. If you like eating, there's no better diet than a plant heavy diet. You don't need to remove meat fully, just add a LOT of greens. The dinners I eat as a vegan are ginormous compared to what I'd get in a meat based meal of the same caloric count. Your digestive system will also love you bigtime for more plants and fiberous foods. Especially if you're in your 30s-40s and your digestion is slowing down a bit. Adding a lot of fiber is a real treat for the body. If you crave the meat, eat the meat. But on days you don't crave meat, eat something else. Falafel or vegan tacos or stuff like that is great. Love it so much. The amount of vegan tacos you can eat before hitting a full dinner's worth of calories is kinda nuts.

Interview these doctors please: Neal Barnard, Caldwell Esselstyn, Garth Davis, Dean Ornish, John McDougall, Michael Gregor, T. Colin Campbell. Thank you!
