The human Brain is 60% fat, you need to get it from somewhere. You may have a wonderful beating heart but your brain has become dried up.
Has anyone addressed the issues of escalating diseases in animals that can pass through the food-chain as a vector to human consumers , feed lot practices, fish farming practices, food chain toxin buildup, agricultural chemicals (topical & systemic ) .
Thank you #DRALAHOOLU on YouTube for curing my HSV 1&2 and HPV after using his herbal products..
No Sir no no no! With all due respect to this doctor I come from a Mediterranean country and I will never be vegan or anything of that sort as I like to enjoy all kinds of foods. But I was wondering if in this doctor’s mind Mediterranean means only Italy, Greece, France and Spain??? Does he know that in Morocco they bake their bread in Sahara’s sand! Does he know that in my country Albania many people live 100+ years? And there is a whole range of north African countries along Mediterranean Sea and then you Israel, Cyprus, Lebanon, Turkey etc etc! Come on doc; Mediterranean diet is by far THE BEST in World! Period.
My father was Lebanese but born in America Although his parents cooked Middle Eastern food my mom had to learn and she used to say it’s very healthy to ask for vegan I can’t say I believe in it 100%
Well, not sure about the research. But, I started Mediterranean diet couple of months ago. My stomach is not bloated anymore, I do not have strong urges to digest food, energy levels are normal? I am sure there are alot of positive things involved in it.
Where will we die? In the hospital? Do you trust those in the hospital to die there? I want to die at home
What I really hate is you watch one video and get told one thing and then you watch another one and get told something completely different.
thank God I was able to locate DR ADULE on YouTube who was able to eliminate my herpes virus totally with his herbal medicine from today I believe in herbal medicine💯%
Our brain is 80% cholesterol… this guy is not as correct as he thinks he is.
This doctor does not tell you that we nee cholesterol or you would be in a mess. Hormones, hormones, hormones.
I vote Mediterranean
I want to inform the public on how me and my son got cured of our Genital Herpes 1&2 and HPV by DR ALAHO OLU on YouTube.
The problem with all this BS is that most plant based food tastes terrible vs. pork, steak, eggs, cheese, salmon. Most of the old people you will ever meet are omnivores who ate meat. People die because they eat too much. If you want to talk about things that kill you, there are smoking, opioids, COVID-19, and inner-city violence. Eat reasonably and your food, whether broccoli or chicken wings will not kill you.
Thank you! I am glad to have this information because I’m trying to lose weight and lower my blood sugar and high blood pressure.
70% non starchy vegs 15% healthy meat and remaining healthy fats.
I’m writing a graphic memoir about my mother, and I was wondering if you or anyone else could tell me, if someone never ate green lettuce, seafood, nuts, or seeds, what nutrient do you think they may be lacking?
Fruit is sugar……
"It’s a challenge for the body to turn bread into body fat"… it’s as if the presenter has never heard of insulin. Recent studies around the relationship between blood sugar, insulin, and obesity would indicate that it is in fact quite easy for the body to turn bread into body fat and that is in fact the cause of much obesity.
I’m vegan and mediterranean. My diet is plant-based Mediterranean hahah
Two or three generations ago, before fast food restaurants or even before everyone had a refrigerator in their home. Working people supplemented their food supply by growing their own vegetables, or buying fresh food from push carts or local markets. It wasn’t unusual for homes to keep chickens or goats. Many had “victory gardens”. There is a section of Toronto that was known as “ Cabbage town”, because people grew cabbages on their front lawns.
During the Second World War when the armies in Europe took all the meat away. The local population had to resort to growing their own food. Later on it was discovered that people stopped dying of heart disease. They were still dying of other things like : tuberculosis and malnutrition. The so called Mediterranean diet is a variation of the way people used to it. Fresh local vegetables, in season. In addition to some local fish or farm animals.
Yet the Mediterranean people live to 100. Hmm, interesting 🤔
This 104 year old retired HS math teacher has a good diet with Vitamin H for humor or is Vitamin H really for Biotin?

Thank you for the content. Super insightful!
Food cholesterol not elevate the blood cholesterol
carnivore
So the participants of the mediterranean diet were not put on a full mediterranean diet?
mediterranean diets are better
Lots of good information. 🙏🏽
Dr Onyeneke on YouTube is the best when it comes natural herbal medicine he cured me from herpes and hyperthyroidism with his natural herbal medicine
Exact opposite of most the other books I’ve read 😨
It’s all so confusing,one says vegan,the other keto,carnivore,and the list goes on,the same people eating a carnivore diet ,blood work after a few years all perfect blood work,what i would like if someone like Dr Eric Berg the keto advocate would jump on here and give his two cents,or all of the different diet advocates all get together and discuss this debate,it would go on for ever.All these diets have one thing in common,they all cut out sugar and processed foods and that there will make you a healthier person all round no matter if your on a high meat diet or a vegan diet.
I think they die because they smoke so d. Much, but in their favor they consume what they produce, fresh, Dr. Bernard, can you make a video, comparing fresh food vs food that had been pick per weeks before you consume it, how long has to pass before fresh vegetables start loosing their nutrients? Mediterranean eat, what they have in season, Americans eat what is in season in another countries!
I stopped listening at the eggs are bad for you part
My dad ate all meat and fish and he lived until he was 99
Mediterranean without a doubt
I like these types of videos, but I find they are biased. towards overweight I was just told my cholesterol LDL is very high. My HDL and triglycerides are actually good with HDL 65% (gives me some peace), my bp is normal on most days. I am 65 years old weigh 128lbs; I thought I was doing well by not smoking, not drinking alcohol, sugary drinks, and minimizing salt, I normally eat two small meals a day, meat maybe twice a week; I avoid fast foods. I am also fairly active, and still working full time. I know I needed to add more veggies and avoid other things like eating too much bread (me weakness; I am Hispanic). Honestly, I look like the perfection of health, not so. I also have osteopenia. Luckily, these things can be managed, I hope. My concern is by adopting a fully vegan diet, I am going to lose weight that I do not have to lose. I am a nurse; I suppose to know these things, but I am flabbergasted. I guess is hereditary. My liver, kidneys, thyroid tested normal. I have to up my Vit D (yes I have the tan to prove it) and my b12 was low too. Well, I pray I can improve my cholesterol, bones and prediabetes without losing too much weight and looking like a broom.
Any diet that excludes a main food group should raise a red flag. The Mediterranean diet doesn’t do this, while the vegan diet does. Mediterranean for the win.
Healthy mind in a healthy body ☺️.
All you need is a balanced diet, instead of keto. For example finish breaky at 8:30 am, 11:30 a cup of coffee, 2:30 lunch, 4:30pm a piece of fruit.
7:30pm dinner. Then 8:30 dessert, or popcorn 🍿 with favourite TV show.
Plenty of water, no sugary drinks, no chocolates, packets of chips & eating out once a week. Or 5 day intervels. For example Saturday, then thursday, then skip one week & again Saturday & thursday, ECT. Minimum twice a week exercise & most importantly speak to your doctor & specialist. Also eat mainly wholegrain bread 🍞, instead of White 🍞. 1 coffee & 1 tea a day only, with 1 tea spoon of sugar. Also movies once a month. Guaranteed results from effects of diabetes, high blood pressure , heart attack & stroke. Because prevention is definitely better than cure. This diet I highlighted, is more suitable for people living with type 2 diabetes, because they have to eat regularly & avoid eating large portions, when hungry. It’s totally up to you. You can make diabetes your best friend or worst nightmare. Just look up the long term effects such as stroke, bypass surgery, obesity, high blood pressure, gangerine, blindness, heart attacks, annurysim, imputance, fatigue & thirst. & Many other health hazards. You can diffuse the bomb, before it blows up.
Just look up all these conditions, & don’t burry your head in the sand 🤗👍.
Oh & never cure depression, heartbreak & bore-dome with food, it’s the worst thing you can do. It’s better to go for a drive to the gym or bike ride, beach or picnic. The best way to cure bore-dome is to do something constructive like cleaning, washing the car, gardening, reading & sleeping. You’ll never feel thirsty or tired. Your body will love you for it. Because the basic functions you used to do that you take for granted, you’ll difinetly miss after a stroke.
Also the most important thing that diabetics need to understand is that after a stroke, when your kidney functioning is at 11%, you have to undergo dialysis & your are restricted to 600ml fluids a day, because most fluids go to your legs & leak through the skin. The good thing is at this stage it’s not hard to reverse your diabetes & bring kidney functioning to 70%. But it’s better to control your diabetes 20 years earlier, & avoid all these complications, & put your extra 💸 towards your mortgage &; supporting people in need, & God Will help you.😄😄😄😄😄😄.

The key is to protect people from health hazards such as diabetes, heart attack, stroke, brain 🧠 annurysim & obisity. We should have a health plan using a card system for different stages of a person’s health. For example each individual’s such as borderline, diabetics & stroke victims should have a dietary plan to follow on a weekly basis. Because there is nothing more important than good health. If they comply with the dietary plan their should be rewards & if not, consequences. The plan should also include 3 days a week exercise. People will feel much better & satisfied, because it becomes habit. Only if people knew that a stroke, will make you doing something as simple as walking down the road 4%, then they will feel it will take them 70% to do the same effort. They will agree with my idea. Stroke is the second killer in the world, behind heart 💖 disease & diabetes affects more than 350 million people globally & in the USA alone every 4 mins someone is added to the kidney transplant list. But you can reverse the late stages of diabetes & live a healthy & happy life & increase your life expectancy 🤗. Only if you feel what a stroke can do to you. In the past I used to do 40 pushups on my toes. But know I can’t even do one. That’s what a stroke will do to you if you don’t take action.

I AGREE HE IS HOT AND AND HIS VOICE IS SO CALM TATA AUNTY BERLINE S A
Anyone with 2 functioning brain cells knows that PCRM is the medical propaganda wing of the animal rights industry.
If fish is associated with a high mortality rate then why are Japanese people some of the longest-lived people, yet as far as I know their diet consists of quite a bit of fish?
I listen to his presentation a few times. And in his study they left it up to the participants to set their diet. This really skews the data. If you make the vegan group eat low fat, and give no guidance to the Mediterranean group of course the latter gained weight. But i wonder if they were on a diet of the same calories if they would have had similar outcomes? I cant help but wonder if the Mediterranean group was eating at Olive Garden on weeknights, and having a whole pizza weekend. The Mediterranean diet is mostly pescatarian and would be 9-10 servings of veggies in a day, with healthy fats.
he is so on the wrong path 🙁
we need to cut out sugars/carbs and stop the insulin resistance and glucose dependant processes. let’s get to the basic problem rather than just looking at some symptoms and "fixing" those
How about a VEGAN Mediterranean diet?
