Mediterranean or Icelandic diets give longevity
As a scientist myself this research is biased Arguing for a plant only diet as a cure all is misunderstanding human metabolism and claiming something it cannot deliver If you only eat plants you will have to supplement with Vit B12 iron and certain amino acids Eating a mediterranean Japanese or Icelandic diet has far more evidence of longevity

Cherry-picked information and misrepresented studies
Dr Greger has an inherently religious or cult-like bias to a certain diet He has a tendency to completely dismiss other diets eg FODMAP despite there being a lot of sound scientific information behind them While he has some good information and is very good at communicating it he selectively ignores information which does not back up his viewpoint His website should really be called cherry-picked nutrition facts Greger s overall M O is that he uses lots of observational studies which are considered low-tier evidence because of the correlation causation problem linking an animal food to a health problem but if the same studies find a positive or neutral result for a different animal food or a negative result for a plant food he just ignores it When diets low in animal foods produce health he also uses these findings to shill for veganism no animal foods at all while using the nebulous weasel word plant-based Anyone following his diet must take daily B12 supplements to stay healthy - the reason being he has removed every single natural source of B12 If you need to take nutritional supplements then your diet is deficient in the nutrients it needs to survive and thrive - pretty simple There are plenty of other safer diets out there that have been well researched that will improve your health Talk with your dietician or nutritionist His advice should be taken with a grain of salt and a good dose of caution

His BS pops up on computer and I read
His BS pops up on computer and I read it but he won t allow a response from a better man from the 40 s who is not vegan People want to know how a man can have no cold virus or flu virus since the 1950 s and how to fight off sarcopenia and grey hair at 76 not what a little bald guy from the 70 s says -Ralph EvansCanada

Wonderful source of evidence-based information on nutrition
This is a not-for-profit website created by Dr Michael Greger a medical physician He reviews thousands of articles on human nutrition published in medical journals and puts the information into usable form It is amazing how much misinformation and propaganda there is in the media about human nutrition This is the only website I feel I can trust 100 Dr Greger does favor a vegan diet so you can see that bias in many of his videos but he backs up what he says with scientific studies from medical journals

Truly life-saving information
Truly life-saving information for free He doesn t sell anything I made a donation because he had a very obscure chart in a YouTube video that proved that my Western MD s were wrong Thank you Dr Greger You and Abraham Hicks and some true friends saved my life Dr Greger s 20 researchers comb through the 100K English medical studies published annually to bring to gist of it to lay people in a way that we can easily understand Brilliant See Dr John MacDougal sp or McDougal also for similar longevity info
