Dr. Michael Greger | How Not To Die | Talks at Google

Dr. Greger visited Google NYC to discuss his new book - How Not to Die.

The simple truth is that most doctors are good at treating acute illnesses but bad at preventing chronic disease. The 15 leading causes of death claim the lives of 1.6 million Americans annually. This doesn’t have to be the case. By following Dr. Greger’s advice, all of it backed up by peer-reviewed scientific evidence, you will learn which foods to eat and which lifestyle changes to make to live longer.

History of prostate cancer in your family? Put down that glass of milk and add flaxseed to your diet. Have high blood pressure? Hibiscus tea can work better than a leading hypertensive drug—and without the side effects. What about liver disease? Drinking coffee can reduce liver inflammation. Battling breast cancer? Consuming soy is associated with prolonged survival. Worried about heart disease (our #1 killer)? Switch to a whole-food, plant-based diet, which has been repeatedly shown not just to help prevent the disease, but arrest and even reverse it.

In addition to showing what to eat to help prevent the top 15 causes of death, How Not to Die includes Dr. Greger’s Daily Dozen—a checklist of the foods we should try to consume every day. Full of practical, actionable advice and surprising, cutting edge nutritional science, these doctor’s orders are just what we need to live longer, healthier lives.

I went from carnivore to vegan overnight 3 years ago, and now I am a full-time vegan blogger and am writing my first cookbook! My how things change! Dr. Michael Greger is my hero! <3

Dr. Gregor is one of the most ethical and honest doctors in the world. He is able to present the truth to the general public without cowering to powerful vested interests like the AMA, ACS, Big Agra, Food and Pharma etc. He deserves a Noble Prize.

Went vegan last year. It was my best decision of the year 2015. I feel fantastic !

[sidilicious]

I've been vegetarian for 40 years and vegan for the last 3. I feel so fortunate I made these choices! At 61 I am healthy, active and relatively slim. There's always room for improvement and it's never too late. Cheers!

Probably one of the most informative doctors on nutrition I have ever seen.

[akanne]

My brother went Vegan because of Dr. Gregger's videos. Dr. Gregger is my personal hero :)

[RunIntoTheSkyNonprofit]

Im going vegan this year... I believe it will be the best decision of my life

[ferrismolina]

I like his speaking style: he just kind of sassily yells information at you with some jokes thrown in here and there. Keeps things engaging.

[thebudkellyfiles]

Dr. Greger, you are the MAN. Your good work and diligence will change the face of the Western world. May your tribe increase!

This is the single best lecture on health and nutrition I have ever seen as a vegan of 3 years. I know what book everyone in my family is getting for Christmas.

[nevadaxtube]

The most important point is that it is evidence based nutrition. There are countless authors and "experts" who have opinions that are not based on scientific evidence.

[jasonbriggs]

What I like about this talk is that he's nervous, stumbling at times. To me, it shows he cares. He would never had envisaged that he'd be talking to Google about this, meaning his message about diet graduates to a world stage. Applaud! The world needs to move to a whole food plant based diet not just for personal health but for Earth health too!

[IResonateWithU]

Just heard him lecture 3 hours ago. Probably one of the most generous people on the planet.
Im watching nutritionfacts vids all the time but this was a ridiculous amount of information in just one lecture. Way better than expected. Bless Dr Greger <3

[askme]

I endorse the good work of my colleague in medicine. His funding model (donation, just like Craigslist) is absolutely amazing. He is bringing distilled wisdom and uncovering scientific gems for physicians and laypeople alike! I have been following him ever since I learned of his existence and double checked his daily emails' contents for over three months. His findings during those 92 days were legit WITHOUT exception. I was considering coming out of retirement until I realized he is already doing this work. So I will just support his efforts instead.

[parko]

Absolute champion. Get him back Google!

[pastanoo]

A must save your sure it will extend has no agenda other than telling the truth

[jll]

Went vegetarian 3 years ago, plus fasting (interlittent and some 7 days ones), nasal breathing, earthing - lower stress - a true miracle in my life. I’m now 59 and have never felt as great

[Curt_Randall]

I would love for him to speak at the company I work for. Unfortunately, I work for big pharma. They would never let him in the door

[community]

I am smitten by your intelligence, wit, spunk, wholesomeness, heroism, drive to tell the truth, and the passion you exhibit in carrying this message. What a persuasive guy!
