You literally did this for the punchline, didn't you? 🤣🤣🤣

[momteacherlessons]

Chlorella is my jam! It helped me out of anemia, increased energy levels and depression. I just thought it was great for getting greens. I didnt expect so many benefits when i started all those years ago

[rollando]

Be cool if at the end of your videos you sum up the video with a conclusion

[Lifeisaboutdistractingyourself]

DR. Seuss would be proud. From one doctor to another. 👌🏿

[gabriellegrosja]

So? Should we or should we not? Yes a conclusion would be nice.

Ive been taking Chlorophyll for 5 years, it really helps to keep me regular and slim

I would be interested in more studies tracking depression. Meanwhile, it might be worth a try.

[DwellerOfTheEarth]

I just bought organic chlorella a few days ago. I've found it to be beneficial and the taste isn't as bad as spirulina, that's for sure.

[Jahmastasunherbalist]

I don’t always take chlorella but when I do I take 12-15 grams to detox mercury, which I do often because of amalgam filling removals.

[GGreen-yfxk]

There are different types of chlorella. You jumped from depression to liver disease to cholesterol to carcinogenic foods. This made the video unfocused and unclear to me.

[vahkurama]

Theres 2 types of chlorella 1: chlorella vulgaris and 2: chlorella pyrenoidosa.
The one in these test is vulgaris, pyrenoidosa is supposed to be better, also Taiwanese chlorella is the best it's the least polluted and has the least heavy metals in it especially the organic ones. Also I want to know if chlorella has b12 in it or not, cuz some brands say it has high amount in it and other brands say trace. Isn't this something very important to test, cuz I'd rather take my b12 from something natural than vitamin b12 tablets.

I take chlorella for the iron. 2g contains 4mg of iron. Just something I have always struggled with, before and after I went vegan.

@Dr. Greger: I very much appreciate the service you do for all of us. Love your delivery also--very entertaining! High production value, as they say. I ordered HOW NOT TO DIE, and it's on its way; but I am really more interested in HOW TO NOT DIE. I'm hoping the book will help with that too. Anyway, thank you, thank you, thank you!

[joshuadc]

I'd like to see a study that looks at dietary cholesterol intake vs cholesterol in the blood.

[emmat]

If you're using chlorella to detoxify you need cilantro aswell. The cilantro pulls toxins from the cells and the chlorella then binds the toxins.

[SteveMcGough]

Would it possibly perhaps be worth looking again at "SAFE" sources for spirulina as well?

[justinfrankel]

I’d like to see a video on some of the “nootropic” mushrooms, such as lion’s mane. Wondering if it’s all placebo/marketing.

[astralpurpose]

All the Blue green Algaes that can be consumed are super alkalizing and puts you in a higher vibration. Super beneficial for depression. Also barley grass juice will clean your blood as well.
