Greger suggests that accepted "average" iron levels are too high. Lower than average could help reduce cancer rates.

IGF1 appears to promote/enable cancer. Removing IGF1 leads to reduction in cancer. Meat based diet increases IGF1 produced in liver. Plant based diet reduces IGF1 produced by liver.

Fructose from fruit diminished insulin spike, even when combined with industrial fructose.

Eat heavy meals earlier in the day, stop eating as early in the day as possible, and maintain at least 12 hour gap before eating the next day: leads to weight loss & lower blood pressure & lower heart rate.

"if possible, eat earlier in the day, so now I try to eat dinner early.. at least avoid late night eating. Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, with or without an early pauper’s dinner would probably best."

30 grams of ground flax daily for a month reduced ocylipin (proinflamatory) significantly.

Adding nuts to a high carb meal lowers insulin spike. But adding animal protein (chicken) OR animal fat (butter) to high carb meal increases insulin spike. #keto

Nathan Pritikin was diagnosed w/ heart disease in his forties. Not satisfied w/ his doc's advice, he determined that a plant-based diet could help. After he died at age 69 of radiation-induced leukemia, an autopsy found his arteries clear and pliable, suggesting his diet reversed his heart disease.

Only about 1 in 10,000 people live to be a 100 years old. What’s their secret?

So, is it just the luck of the draw whether we got good genes or bad ones? No, we can turn on and off the expression of these genes, depending on what we eat.

This is one way to explain the low rates of cancer among plant-based populations: The drop in animal protein intake leads to a drop in IGF-1, which in turn leads to a drop in cancer growth.

“Almost everyone is going to have a cancer cell or pre-cancer cell in them at some point. The question is: Does it progress?” said one of the lead researchers. That may depend on what we eat.

Certain good bacteria in our gut can turn the fiber we eat into an anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer compound—called butyrate—that we absorb back into our system. We may be able to boost the number of butyrate-producing bacteria by eating a plant-based diet.

Vegan, high fiber diet reduced symptoms.

.@nutrition_facts reviews which #vegetables bind cholesterol-laden bile acids best while traveling through the intestines, thus preventing bile re-absorption. Beets can't be beat.

Food structure/processing matters: rolled oats are better than instant oats; steel-cut oats better than rolled. Better = lower glycemic index and the "need" to eat more later. Again, whole, plant-based diet wins.

Focuses on their points of agreement and non-overlapping ideas. Vegan vs. meat eater discussion at about 44 minutes in, but Mercola avoided direct confrontation given that Gregger is vegan and Mercola eats meat. I'd hoped for a debate but Mercola seemed unwilling. Still, it's worth a listen.

How the beta glucan fiber in brewer’s, baker’s, and nutritional yeast can improve wound healing and, potentially, anti-cancer immunity.

Meat protein consumption promotes kidney stones. Veggies and fruits consumption does not.
