Why Might Vegetarians Have Less HPV?

DESCRIPTION: Most young women get infected with human papilloma virus, the cause of cervical cancer, but most are able to clear the infection before the virus causes cancer. What dietary changes can improve viral clearance?

Other viruses may actually be found in the food. See, for example:

Keep in mind that there's a strong general connection between animal protein consumption and cancer growth.

I'm not Dr. Greger, but I think already know his answer. VEGAN. Or to state it another way, a whole food, plant-based diet. Eliminate meat, dairy and eggs.

As a vegetarian I can speak on real health issues I had before being vegetarian, I was anemic and always suffered from cold hands and feet for probably my whole life. I’ve been a vegetarian for only 5 years and I will never go back to eating animals. I’ve gone to the doctor many times and I’m always negative on being anemic. I’m healthy as a horse, I hardly ever get sick. Both of my parents are meat eaters & can’t believe my doctor results. After having to struggle with low iron levels my whole life. Being vegetarian has only been a positive experience for me & I don’t ever see myself changing my diet. I recommend for everyone now that plant based is more accessible then ever before. 💚 power of plants 🌱

You can always review the data yourself. One thing you might notice from Paleo promoters is that they often select studies funded by the meat industry to back up their claims (i.e. that meat is good)... Dr. Greger is only out to promote good health, not a fad diet.

I freaking love you Dr.Greger! You inspired me to make videos on facts about vegan nutrition :)

It 's good to know the fact that whole foods prevent vph and thus cancer. The next question should be what vegetables prevent better. As I see in one of your videos there are vegetables ranked in its effect on tumoral cells growth. It's interesting that I came here to suggest you research topics but I already answered myself just writing this comment. Good video

[chrissyshunda]

I SO LOVE your videos!!! Reposting to Facebook.

can vph be cured by fasting and a fruterian diet? thanks for the answer Doc

Gary Taubes has been accused of using "selective selection" himself.

I admit that it would interest me to know whether there are sufficient long-term paleo eaters to participate in studies such as those cited here, the way that there are long-term vegetarians of vegans. Time will tell.

In the meantime, there's one way to find out how accurate a reflection of medical reality this video is, without assuming that it's slanted: Look up the studies and see what they actually suggest.

[ivanherrera]

what do you mean when say "vegetables"? only raw, fresh? or include potatoes, beans, rice...

[DarkXemplar]

Great Video Dr. Greger! I have a quick question... Without having to go through all of your previous videos because of time constraints... With all of your current information, what type of diet (Including supplements) would you suggest someone to strive for? Please, as specific as your time will allow for! :)

Again, thank you so much Dr.

I wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you for your fantastic care of my son and whole family. Your quality and integrity as a doctor and, more fundamentally, as a person, shine through. We cannot thank you enough Dr Obaz for the excellent care you have provided. From the moment we met you, we were certain God had led us to you👏.

It's not even half 0.66 compared to 1.0. Still 7 out of 10 in chance. Being vegan doesn't sound like a miracle cure. And then on top of that, vegans tend to eat no sweets or drink alcohol. That's not counted in the non-vegetarian diet. Whereas non-vegetarians tend to be split in healthy non-vegetarians that do not consume refined sugars and alcohol, and then the majority that does. This research is not conclusive. And I would suggest to add a control study where refined sugars and alcohol was not consumed.

I acknowledge the wisdom you have put into herbalism, Doctor Apala you not only cure these crazy illness but empower a lot of people and help them get the best of their mental health
