Thanks so much for this video! Max is a journalist. Not a scientists, not a medical doctor. In 2018 I was trying to find a good diet for my parents, and it was the time when Max was promoting his new book. I saw quite a few videos about how keto diet was good for dementia, and I almost bought MTC oil for my father. I was not convinced by the people who promoted keto for dementia, because none of them were medical doctors, and I always saw inconsistencies or irrational conclusions (connecting dots that don't make sense to connect). Luckily I never recommended my parents this weird eating style (they were already eating very balanced, mostly plant based, I would say 90%). Throughout the years I always watched your videos to learn about the science of plant based eating. Thank you so much for your work. There is so much misinformation on youtube, but also so much good information: thanks to youtube I found out about the good plant based diet (too late, being a vegetarian my whole life, I wish I knew before how to eat well without dairy and eggs). In 2019 I found your channel and I read Dr. Gregers book How not to Die, and my parents started eating completely whole food plant based. My mother (high blood pressure) added the 5 handfuls of greens a day of Dr. Esselsteyn (and they did eat nuts and seeds, and nutbutter/seedbutter as Dr. Greger recommended, not low fat like Dr. Barnard and Dr. Esselsteyn). From dangerously high blood pressure she is now down to a normal blood pressure, without medication. Her tools: (whole) plant based eating, and mindfulness for stress reduction. My parents' health improved so fast. My mother at 79 never loses track of stories, my father at 85 is still doing bookkeeping and is working in the garden hours on end each day. They are both on 'real' bikes (not e-bikes). Forever grateful to all the people (including you) who spread the information about the health benefits of whole food plant based eating.

Endotoxemia associated with the carnivore diet is the real thing and it almost killed me. The amount of LPS in my gut must have been enormous as I required medical attention every 3-4 weeks due to methane SIBO. I basically killed all the good bacteria when I stopped eating most and then all carbohydrates. Symptoms related to this type of SIBO can be life threatening because when you have bowel movement once a week which is as painful as giving birth (to a few small pebbles) the amount of LPS produced in your gut is more than your body can handle and my liver was not in a good shape after years of this horrible experiment. I tortured myself with low carb diets for 6 years before I gave up and I hated meat all my life so the fact that those diets require you to up your meat consumption was yet another level of torture for me. I did all the fat to protein ratios (including therapeutic ketosis 4:1 and 2:1) to make things work, "clean" carnivore and keto without any processed foods/meats but it was only getting worse. Being plant-based is HEAVEN. I'm grateful (and surprised) I'm capable of digesting carbohydrates now considering the fact that I most likely annihilated bacteria responsible for digesting different carbohydrate types. I'll never eat meat again.

You throw them on a podcast and they are given legitimacy. Do not just blindly believe anything you hear some dude on a podcast say. Hell, these days a lot of influencers even fake being on podcasts to give themselves an air of legitimacy by showing clips of them appearing to be in a podcast set up when they are really just talking to themselves and the camera.

My dad passed from a Parkinson's related issue (blacked out swimming). Even back in the 90s it was very clear to specialists that high-meat diets were a strong driver of the disease's progression. I watched my dad pursue every other treatment protocol with zeal, but he just couldn't give up that high meat diet, and it almost certainly shortened his life. And that's one of the main motivations behind me going vegan - using my love of science and data to discover the healthiest dietary protocol known to man. On the flip side, I personally know of a raw vegan health coach in Florida (Amy Elise) who is treating a man in his late 60s with advanced Parkinson's. He was wheelchair-bound 6 months ago when he came to her. Now he is standing and can walk around, albeit poorly. He's actually regained mobility on a protocol of zero medications, just a raw food diet + herbal supplements and tinctures. I met him and keep in touch. Isn't that amazing!

Just make sure your body is properly converting ALA into EPA/DHA. I know a few people who really struggle on vegan diets because their internal machinery is so compromised that they can't properly make that conversion. Something I wish the vegan community would talk about more is bivalves and eggs. Animal-based food sources that can be entirely cruelty free. Bivalves have no brains, and no capacity for suffering. Technically vegan. Anyone who's lived with chickens on a farm knows that they are constantly laying eggs, and literally don't care about most of them. And it's easy to find eggs at the store that are completely cruelty free, no cages, fed their natural diets, etc. It's a completely symbiotic relationship, no exploitation going on. While the body "can" thrive on a vegan diet, the absolute ideal nutrition profile for a human doesn't perfectly match the absolute nutrition profile of an optimized vegan diet. As we age, our ability to convert ALA declines, our ability to synthesize collagen declines, and many other examples. But if you add in these forager-friendly foods, just in very small amounts, those nutritional profiles match up perfectly. In terms of evolution, it makes no sense that proto-humans would avoid easily-obtainable food items like eggs and bivalves. Just sitting there. People tend to forget how absolutely vast the bird populations were up until a few centuries ago when we started mass-clearing their habitats (forest and grasslands). It would be hard to travel 100 feet without stumbling upon a bird's nest. It just makes sense that such foods would have become regular additions to our overall plant-based frugivorous diet.

She is now bedbound and almost mute, she used to say the occasional word and smile but she has lost that over the last couple of months. The diagnosis from the medical team was Lewy body dementia FROM THE PARKINSONS MEDICATION. Nothing to do with diet (though I’m sure it would have made a difference if she had been plant based).
