    I love this channel!

  • @Alexander-ok7fm says:

    Thank you!

  • @TasteOfButterflies says:

    3:36 thank you for being clear on the limits of what can be achieved by diet. It’s still important to wear sunscreen and limit sun exposure when you can help it.

    Плохо! Помидор – помир до. Это один из вреднейщих продуктов для человека. На Руси называли чёртово яблоко. Славянам помидоры это вред ❕

    В винограде больше всего фосфора из фруктов.
    Вы точно хотите чтобы веганы были здоровы? Или уничтожаете их..

      only an issue if you have kidney disease and eating grapes would still be far below the amount most humans eat. 1 serving about 88 mg of phosphorus
      can eat up to 3 -4,000 mg a day

    Excellent content, but the audio sounds like its recorded in a large room.

    • @moggridge1 says:

      It’s from Dr. Greger’s “Live At Carnegie Hall” series.

    • @nancymcclymont2858 says:

      @@moggridge1 I hope he wore a vibrant green bowtie & weskit, as is his due. Tails would be outre, he would never be so outlandish. I look forward to seeing a clip one day. Thanks for letting us all know, apparently we are not all in the know about the glories of Carnegie Hall.

    Nice, time to stock up on veggies to protect my skin in the summer

  • @ThriveNaturally66 says:

    Thanks for this great information.

  • @osoniye4209 says:

    HI Dr. Greger. Would you do something on lipedema and the plant based diet? Thanks for considering it.

  • @karenseale9372 says:

    Great one! Thanks

    What to do: Vitamin D or Skin Damage? 🤔

  • @seworrubacissejliame says:

    Will “skin elasticity” as a term conceptually shape-shift into phenotypic fluidity, causing unnecessary confusion in identifying candidates for DEI? Is “skin atrophy” more associated with flesh-eating bacteria, translucent skin (as seen in that mouse study on food-processing chemicals), or entropy in cell replication? Does hydration, skin-surface conductivity, or stearic acid presence influence “skin fragility”?

    Also, if substituting pork for kale, wouldn’t curly kale be the non-kosher equivalent? Given Plant Based News’ YouTube uploads, ROS (reactive oxygen species) seems to parallel rusting as a disease pathway. Does this affect heme-iron levels, or does it invalidate the iron injections prescribed for vegan-induced malnutrition?

    And what about humans with greater archaic DNA—like Denisovans? Would they be more concerned with RNS (reactive nitrogen species)?

    Meanwhile, the development of sophisticated breathing apparatus programs by space agencies and Navy SEALs—employing experimental gas mixtures—suggests that even catalytic converters might soon face regulatory oversight. Who knows what conspiracies lie behind those new oxygen filters?

    Naturally, those with autism, ADHD, schizophrenia, psychopathy, Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s, pacemakers, spinal implants, amphetamine habits (and let’s not forget Moderna recipients) are already spearheading the next stage of human evolution: telepathy. Which means they’ll only have to worry about DNS.

  • @SALVATl0N says:

    I’ve also read that eating a diet rich in foods like sweet potatoes changes the tone of our skin that other people find pleasing.

  • @loishassell1290 says:

    Love most of this, but there is nothing natural about most sunscreens and people should be much more leery of slathering so many chemicals all over their skin.

    let’s not forget Garden Peas, Carrots and Paprika
