If you really want animal protein , why cant you go for Omega3 fish or low fat chicken/turkey sans the fatty skin and marrow ? It doesn't have to be grass fed anything . Mammalian protein ( including Milk protein) is much more pro inflammatory than all other kinds of animal protein , even if FAT content is same. The lean animal protein will still supply a generous amount of D3/B12 , taurine, carnosine while not as bad as Mammal protein and mammalian blood sugars (Alpha 1,3 Gal) .

It got me to thinking-- it was pointed out to me by my parents that a high protein diet is proving to help children with epilepsy (at The Charlie Foundation for Ketogenic Therapies).I looked through your videos, and your book, “How Not to Die,” however, didn’t find anything about this epilepsy and high protein connection. Please do a video on it🙏🏼 I would love to throw that back at my family members (some who are also doctors). Thanks for all you do, Dr. Greger!💚

Outstanding benefit in these studies for people concerned about avoiding esophageal and colon cancers, and a round of applause for not only the avocado but cranberry, as well. At 3:24, an amazing fluorescence study of oral cancer cells shows how thoroughly avocado eliminates cancer cells, which ought to interest current or former users of tobacco products. . * BTW, at 00:44, what happened to the pet bird given "part of an avocado" before showing symptoms? How can a bird GI be de-toxified? This information could be helpful to pet bird owners with an unfortunate tendency to share human food with the wrong animal-- which happens too often with dogs and cats, as well.

Dr. Greger, first, thank you for all your work and the knowledge you spread with us. I've been a devoted follower for years and immensely appreciate everything you do. I was diagnosed with high cholesterol (and pre-diabetic) nearly 2 years ago (currently 36 y/o) and been on a mission to change my faith and get off statins, as I'd hate to be on pills. High Cholesterol and Diabetes runs in my family. I was asked to post under one of your videos, maybe you can offer some advise. from Aug-Oct 2017 I was on a strict plant based diet (super super clean, nutrition + healthy and loving it) but to my surprise my cholesterol #'s were back to my very initial blood test when I was first diagnosed. My trig # is the biggest surprise as it shot up higher than before. Part of me thinks maybe the statins changed my body chemistry in some ways that I'm now prone to having these elevated numbers even if I keep the healthiest food regiments. I'm now back on statins + continuing to eat whole plant based foods. Am I cursed with the need to take statins forever, or is there hope? Would LOVE to hear your thoughts. The numbers to all my lab tests can be found here: prntscr.com/h1688t

Good point, I've wondered about this as well. Could Esselstyn and McDougall be wrongfully disregarding nuts, seeds and avocados, or is there really a benefit to avoiding those?
