  1. @CrystaltheWaterLily dont take my word for it check out the links I sent you. Dr Graham explains The physiology and human make up. We are fruitavours and partially herbvores, not carnevours. Try catching your prey, skinning it with your bare hands and teeth, good luck trying, that would be the only way, not with weapons or store bought. A fruit however is ready available easy to pick and has all the nutrients in it we need.

  2. @CrystaltheWaterLily You are misinformed. Humans need high carbs but real carbs as in fruits and veggies, ot the boxed up portion we see in grains, cereals, pasta or breads which are filled with high corn fructose syrup. Levulose is the energy source of fruit, fructose is man made. Scientists know nothing most are fat and ill. I lead by example, look at my physique and lifestyle. Chicken and fish are very unehalthy too. Watch Food Inc.

  3. @CrystaltheWaterLily my personal story speaks volume, as does my experience in the field. It may mean nothing to you, but I have not only changed my life, I have changed countless others. Believe what you may, it is your right. You are only 20 years old and have much to experience and learn in life, when you reach 46 look and feel as good as I, and have mastered the eating circus, then come talk to me. In the mean time all I see is wanna be know it all punk who respects no one but her self.

  4. @CrystaltheWaterLily I have sent you evidence, links from a Doctor, and other very intersting information. I have nothing to prove to you child, grow up and learn that science and the medical system doesnt always tell you the truth. Now run along and go play with your dolls and leave me alone. I have my beliefs and views, you don't have to agree with them.

  5. @CrystaltheWaterLily And how exactly did you dispprove the links? What earlier points the meat is not the only cause of obesity, of coarse it's not, high corn fructose syrup, milk, inacitivit are some of the many. However if people stopped eating the standard american diet, and would eliminate processed foods as well as animal products and eat fruits and veggies only, they would be healthier. a few comments on a video page hardly can show you my knowledge. Resorting to your childlike behavior

  6. cont. I wasnt trying to make a comeback, so think of it as you wish. Look think what you want, eat what you want, I don't care. I am happy and healthy and that is all that matters to me. So try to have a nice life, and leave me alone already. Go away.

  7. cont: B!2 is created by putrification process microorganisms. idealy found in water and soil. So B12 is created by microorganisms, and is (ideally) to be found in water and soil. It is also produced by bacteria in our intestines As long as gut bacteria have cobalt and certain other nutrients, they produce B12. In principle then, internal B12 synthesis could fulfill our needs without any B12 provided by diet.Animals and plants require cobalt in order to synthesize / produce B12.

  8. @CrystaltheWaterLily pt 3 I can ask you the same thing where do you get your b12. Most Americans are deficient in them. I know my nutrition is excellent. I digest and absorb my food since I properly combine my fruits and veggies and don't make my digestion work over time as those meat and grain eaters of the world. I would worry about yourself as should your friends whom I am sure are very unhealthy as most on the SAD diet.

  9. @CrystaltheWaterLily I did read it and it's all wrong, miss information with a capital M. We are fruitavours, and our teeth are not meant to eat meat, you would starve to death if you were to try to capture your prey, skin it with your tounge and tear the meat off with your tiny little teeth. If it werent for the grocery stores you wouldnt be digging into flesh. So wrong sweetie, very wrong. Your mouth should bleed from spreading lies.

  10. @CrystaltheWaterLily laugh all you want Crystal, we ate fruits from trees, greens, not meat. Eating meat require catching it. Monkey eat bugs, much different, they don't eat meat. Easier to catch a bug by pokcing a hole in the ground than chasing after a cow, skinnit it. There is no conection, far stretch.

  11. @CrystaltheWaterLily yes your only 20 and so what you can still be an agent, they hire gullable minds. I don't have a bible, don't believe in anything religously, I use my mind and heart to guide me. Dr. Graham has many sources, put on your glasses.

  12. @CrystaltheWaterLily and so, non vegans also fortify their diets with b12, all products have it, why would that be? I don't know what your bag is, eat meat, I don't care. I am not. so move on Crystal.

  13. @CrystaltheWaterLily not my person sweetie, you asked for references, I gave them to you, you have issues, big time issues. What is your bag girl. Meat is bad for you, but if you are such a vampire that needs it why do you need justification, go right ahead. microorganism produce b12 not meat, my point exactly, so what is your point, better yet, don't have one, just drop it already.

  14. @CrystaltheWaterLily yea you eat the crap, processed shit, karma filled foods that suits your personality well. We are overly germ phobe, hence creating many problems You probably have never tested your b12 and wouldnt know what they are. Now run along child go play with someone else, I am bored with you

  15. @CrystaltheWaterLily Wanted to add Crystal, so you would eat meat, make an animal suffer to get your b12 amounts, iliminate the middle man and the suffering, eat a little dirt with your veggies or take a b12 lozegen. Eating animal products causes acidity in your blood hence giving you osteosporosis, cancer and diabetis just to name a few of the illness eating what you claim is natural. Meat, dairy, eggs and poultry are poison, period.

  16. @CrystaltheWaterLily You again? I thought you finally decided to go away. I don't need to prove anything to you, nor do I care to. Continue with your childish games somewhere else, I have better things to do. You want evidence go find it yourself. In the mean time I am enjoying my health, the way I look being a low fat raw vegan, and feel darn good about what I am doing for the environment. You go right ahead and keep creating karma for yourself and be part of the dark vampires of the world. .

  17. @CrystaltheWaterLily it's about both and they are interconnected. The health of our planet and everything in it affects our own health, it's called connectivity and caring for others beyond self. Say what you will, once again I have nothing to prove to you or anyone for that matter. I pitty you and the world you live in for you must resort to a behavior that is unnatural and dirty to attemp nurishment, I on the other hand eat pure and am a better person for it. I wish you well and goodbye.

  18. @CrystaltheWaterLily I have expressed myself enough and wasted too much of my time with you Crystal, the videos I sent you were to show you what true humans do, they grow their own food, they are amicable, trust worthy, loving and sincere, but I guess that is beyond your capacity. You are a waste of time, therefore I bid you fairwell and have a nice life. I hope you can see the errors of your ways and someday change.

  19. @auggiedoggy you are very wrong and I suggest you get your facts straight, you are the one with the lack of knowledge of human evolution and nutrition, do you have any degrees because I do. But I won't waste my breath on someone who has to harm another to feed themself. I am thriving as a raw vegan, as are many of my clients, I once ate the standard american diet and was ill with high blood pressure, stomach issues, now I am healthy and eat only fruits and veggies. Are you?

  20. @auggiedoggy I have studied paleo anthropology and it's just a theory not gospil. I am saying that my experience, research, and knowledge has led me to my conclusion. You are the nutburger here not, I don't do religion nor take my eating habits as such. The clueless cucumber here is you, and your time is not worth more than mine. So stop with the games, and insults and grow up.

  21. @auggiedoggy Are you aware of the reprocusions of eating animal products? By insulting me or other vegans it doesnt make the theory you believe in any more valid. The meat and dairy industry has done an excellent job in brain washing people, creating lies and placing this so call palelithic theor in the front line. One has to look at health results, no what some guy thinks is the way humans evolved. Give me some proof, not insults.

  22. Her claim that the lack of protein is a concern for veganism is problematic. The protein your getting from a grain as oposed to an animal is far better in quality and does not promote cancer , which animal protein (especially casien) does in rats. LOL, those wonderful omega 3's that need to be taken in order for human survival are also a farse and falls into what Campbell calls, "Scientific Reductionism", a method used by the establishment to enhance capital via poor science and single claims.

  23. To find out the truth of the matter regarding essential fatty acids, protein and whether we each have different dietary needs, please look at Dr.Doug Graham's foodnsport and foodnsport on youtube.

  24. The cons you mentioned about a vegan diet towards the first half of the video were opinion based not fact based. What you think is hard might be easy for someone else. It's all relative. Second, you failed to mention a Raw vegan diet where there is no gluten present at all.

  25. The video my not bet the most corrent. But she sure produced great comments. comment goldmine for a person starting to realize the meat and dairy are not that great but not totally sure about it. Thanks for the comments peoples!!

  26. Meat and dairy are great for my health. Btw, plenty of starch isn't usually so good for my health. And of course plenty of fruits and vegetable are very important too, but not exclusively, that doesn't work well,… even after extensive cleansing.

  27. Weight loss programs are dying for people to give their products a try to demonstrate how good they are at help people lose weight.
    Well i just found a website that will send free test products to your home, its the best way to get free weight loss programs! 🙂

  28. From this talk I can't imagine this doctor being of any help to someone who is going vegan. Instead of talking about soy and seitan (wheat gluten) as sources of high protein foods, she more or less is conveying fear about these products that isn't really supported by science. And what about vegan protein shakes made from plant-based powders– a fabulous way of starting your day with high protein foods and you don't get a shred of cholesterol this way. Lentil and beans– not a word. And what about nut butters– good protein and healthy fats taboot. She offers NO positive alternatives to animal products. And why no recommendations about B12? She's setting her patients up for failure. If you want to learn about the benefits of high protein vegan food, go to nutritionfacts.org and search for "plant-based Atkins diet." They have a great little video about it.
