    All I can say is thankyou very much for giving me the opportunity at 75 years of age to learn
  • @colevandais
    Wonderful presentation. I have been vegan for 35 years and feel wonderfully healthy
  • @DG-wz9sm
    I'm 62 and have not suffered any bone loss. I don't own a car and I dont eat dairy or meat. I naturally enjoy salads with garlic and onions and beans. This talk was absolutely fascinating and verifying. I have to say i really restrict SUGAR as well.

  • @bobnail9352
    all the benefits are true - I reversed my type 2 diabetes in 2 years, reduced my BP medication in half, and stopped taking lipitor after going whole food plant based diet. Never felt better and I am 71.
  • @sarabegay6339
    Thank you. I'm 80 and looking for a way to tweak my lifestyle to keep going. My goal is to be the oldest living member of my family, which would make 113. Thanks again.

    I have been studying nutrition for 15 years, and to answer the question below, everything she says has been studied and researched and I didn’t find one thing I disagreed with. Amazing!
  • @micaonyx5301
    All I can say is one of the best ways for health again is to stay the hell away from doctors and their DRUGS!

    Thank you for this lecture. 2 years ago my mom was diagnose with high blood pressure and high cholesterol. The family doctor gave her medication for the high blood pressure and suggested her to go on a low fat diet (no red meat, butter, processed meat or dairy products). She had her blood tested after 3 months and the cholesterol was way better, almost normal. After few months she went back to her old diet (she really likes cheese and dairy products) and the cholesterol went up again. I'm seeing almost everyone over the age of 50 taking medication for high blood pressure and/or cholesterol and everyone seems just fine with that; almost no one talks about changing the diet or adopting a healhtier lifestyle. I think this is crazy. Oh, and i'm not from the US, I'm from Italy.

    Thanks for sharing this life-changing Information this can make a big difference if taught at schools colleges as a health subject.

    I’m all for no-meat diet. But two famous vegan people died of cancer and died young. They were Linda McCartney (a Beatle wife of Paul McCartney) and Steve Jobs who died of pancreatic cancer.

    My grandma and grandpa lived well into their 90's and ate meat regularly. They did not OVER-CONSUME. They ate moderately. They would also eat cakes and pies that my grandma baked. Again, they didn't over-consume. They also ate a lot of fish, tomatoes, vegetables and fruits that my grandma grew in her garden (peaches and rhubarb). Also, lots of spices and herbs some of which she grew. Lots of sauerkraut, cabbage, garlic and onions --- often raw. Grandpa liked to eat raw garlic in kosher salt. He liked to eat sardines right from the tin along with a shot of cold vodka. Grandma liked red wine and sherry. She enjoyed eating pickled pigs feet from a jar ----OFTEN! Her most favorite snack. (Yeeecchh!). They would eat fried eggs (chicken eggs), oatmeal and dark coffee with cream at almost every breakfast, sometimes with bacon. Gramps did smoke ciggies until age 70 then gave it up for good on the advice of his doctor (he was not a heavy smoker). And he still lived another 22 Years!varicose

    I have been have arrhythmia problems. I recently started on a whole food plant based diet. The arrhythmia is definitely happening less frequently. I have the blessing of my cardiologist after discussing my plans with her. I will see how I do in the next 6 months when I see her again. There are so many sources for recipes, I am finding I am eating better than ever. My family is eating healthier too. I also recommend the book “How Not To Die” by Dr. Gregor
  • As a respiratory care practitioner at two teaching hospitals in Philadelphia Dr. Richman’s messages resonates, especially after my tour of duty having treated patients awaiting liver, heart and lung transplants. To think that either lack of knowledge or our practice of denialism gets in the way of personal health progress. Dr.FJA

    Please watch all of this talk. Lots of facts, very informative. Thanks for sharing. Take Care, be well, enjoy life.
  • @RobertaPeck
    This woman does a great job presenting a great amount of information in a condensed period of time.
  • Recommended sample menu includes pizza (crust), minestrone, pasta, cereal, "crusty" bread, and then a few slides later, the presentation recommended that "white" flour be avoided. Whole grain is predominantly white flour with a relatively small amounts of bran, germ and endosperms left in. If I sprinkle a little wheat germ and bran on a bacon cheese burger, does that magically transform it into a food worthy of being on the recommended list vs the avoid list? If a little wheat germ and bran can perform such powerful alchemy, why not supplement every meal with wheat germ and bran? Recommended sample menu included soy, (highly processed, high omega 6) faux sausage, lectin rich foods, copious amounts "white floor" (with accompanying germ and bran left in), and suggested use of off the shelf (high omega 6, high sugar) pizza sauce. It's hard to swallow these as healthy choices. There was no mention of avoiding the "dirty dozen" (of pesticide/ herbicide laden produce), and using organic produce as much as one can afford. Berries in particular are one the the healthiest foods if organic, and one of the unhealthiest if non organic and doused with a plethora of pesticides (which cannot be rinsed off). There are other nutrition plans on the "interwebs" that recommend avoiding soy, peanuts, corn, and gluten containing grains, in addition to the sweeteners, eggs, and dairy you recommend avoiding. The science based rationale of avoiding these include leaky gut, glyphosate soaked GMOs, aflatoxins, phytoestrogens, inflammation, and (sometimes subtle) digestive problems and allergic reactions. The presentation recommended "nuts and seeds" but the healthiness of "nuts and seeds" is wide ranging, and some should probably be avoided. There was no mention of using EVO (with some ACV) on salads. I guessing that is not encouraged? I thought a bit of fat helps the body absorb the nutrients in a salad. Perhaps some nut butter can be used as a dressing? Or just lemon juice? I'm perplexed how a person with insulin resistance who is trying to lose weight could eat grains three times a day (as outlined in the sample menu) and not suffer elevated blood sugar and elevated A1c, along with cravings, post meal crashes, and constant hunger. Is there a WFPB diet plan that explicitly omits gluten, soy, lectins, GMOs, dirty dozen vegs, and provides sufficient B12, omega 3, protein, and prevents insulin spikes? Thanks in advance.

    The main problem with most 'studies' is that there are TOO many VARIABLES not taken in to account. To properly test the relationship between meat and cancer the subject would eat meat only and water - nothing else, but that's not all, what KIND of meat - freerange or grain-fed, etc.
