I appreciate that your interest is in data, legitimate studies, and facts, not selling a certain viewpoint, diet, or supplements. I trust you far more than almost all other Youtube doctors, including those that aren't medical doctors. You give just the facts - thanks!

[Physionic]

Excellent, as always. I thought about covering this study, too, but I'll just link people this video. :)

[Jotto]

I really appreciate how objective and open-minded you are. Most people (nearly all) would've let their personal preferences skew the presentation, at least in subtle ways. With you it's not obvious from the presentation, which diet you personally identify with. That's a big green flag for a great science communicator!

When mentioning the adventist health studies, I do think it's necessary to remind viewers that these are omnivores who eat a lot less meat and dairy than most Americans today.

It's always good to hear someone say "we don't know" - in an area where so many are dead certain about what he best diet is

4:26 About the 2 yr long CALERIE study, telomere length was examined in that too. Researchers found that initially, telomeres in the calorie-restricted group shortened more rapidly than those in the control group. However, by the end of the study, both groups had telomeres of roughly the same length. So, it seems that the length of the study matters. And this twin study was very short.

Many thanks for this update 😄 I'm vegan and I don't care if I will live longer or shorter 🤘

[SALVATlN]

Thank you for mentioning the calorie study. I've always heard that mammals across the board live longer when giving a calorie restricted diet. Maybe a video focused on that in the future?

[hippiegirl]

I tried lots of diets including keto. The one that worked for me is cutting calories and walking at least ten thousand steps a day .

Good stuff Doc, Thanks for the information...

Omnivore diets vary widely in composition but the takeaway is always the same, more plants, less meat equals better health

Wrinkles on your dna - love that! Can i steal it for hospital lectures? 😆

[joecaner]

Is it the vegan diet?
Is it the calorie restriction?
Are they synergistic?

[jozefwoo]

What I need to know is this : in so many studies there is question or confusion if the benefits are due to weight loss only. Is it because the participants are always overweight? What if they use lean participants to begin with, do you still see benefits from weight loss or eating less calories?

Even though we may not have all the data, your broad overview reporting does give enough information, although not conclusive, to modify my own behavior. Thank you.

Grandma knew what she was talking about when she told you to ¨Eat your vegetables!¨

[DrTomMD]

Excellent video. Ideally control for calories as well as track all pertinent biomarkers including but not limited to resting blood pressure, resting heart rate, non-HDL cholesterol, fasting insulin/fasting glucose and GFR among others

My sister was vegan for 10 years and I swear she didn't age all that time. She is 10 years older than me so I recall she looked the same age as me at that time.

[sun-man]

Should be simple to pick a few of the vegans that lost no weight and look at their telomeres

You are my favorite of all favorites. You represent science! Thank you!
