Simon is more willing than any other nutrition commentator to go wherever the data takes him. I think the truth is that there are downsides to every diet. The goal is to balance the trade-offs.
-
Awesome conversation, I took notes. I am an SDA and I have been vegetarian for 44 years and vegan for 30 years. I am in perfect health but I am going to be careful with my Omega 6 intake. I already use B12 and DHA/EPA supplements. I love your podcast, thanks Simon.

Why does Dr. Greger’s and the Sherzais’s analysis of the same data find in favor of a vegan or plant exclusive diet? And there needs to be data differentiating whole food plant based and vegan. I worked at Advent health and there’s a lot of vegan bacon and luncheon meat eaten by Adventist’s (all kinds of “processed foods). I think there needs to be a lot more research before announcing that dairy is a health food.
-
Very interesting. Anyway I would be careful about making drastic changes about current diet pattern, assuming it’s already mostly plant dominant, because in the end if you torture data enough, you can make it confess almost anything. In the end what you can happily eat in a consistent manner will be most optimal.

Hey Simon, what is the relationship of longevity with egg consumption? Wish there was a specific discussion on eggs too in this part.
-
Interesting how the Sherzais saw the opposite with vegetarians in their experience, with very low dementia: watch: Neuroscientists AKA "Brain Docs" Drs. Ayesha & Dean Sherzai at minute 7:10
-
I'm remaining vegan regardless of any findings. My life will not depend on the demise of other species.
-
Super clip, thank you!
-
That was very interesting. Thanks Simon.
-
Great information, thank you
-
People should start making an habit of putting all the refetences for people to look. Specially when you claim to have data to suggest something.
-
Outstanding! 👍
-
With all these "diets" everyone is confused and overthinking. I tried both plant based and animal based "diet" and they both made me feel very good. Energy on both, in the end its safe to say that eating whole foods without any harmful chemicals and less ingredients will promote a healthy body. Maybe not mind, since in order to reach a higher consciousness you must go plant based(according to ayurvedic medicine).
-
A vegetarian diet with some fish? Then it’s not a vegetarian diet. Let’s agree on the terms here.
-
But is it not old news that you have to balance 1:4 omega 3 to 6? Would that optimize conversation to DHA and EPA?
-
Wow!!!
-
Hello Simon. I need clarification of this subject matter please. A recent convert to Veganism (from 50 years of Veggie lifestyle). I am 65 and concerned about brain dementia now because I don’t get much Omega 3. How do we stay brain strong over 65? Please help! Thanks! LOVE your channel!
-
What about all the microplastic and other gunk in fish?
-
What do you say to the evidence both epidemiological and PCDB studies of Dr Michael Greger et al - showing that vegans do better than those on the Mediterranean diet?
-
Yeah.... Very curious why supplementing DHA wouldn't have the same impact as consuming fish directly when DHA has been assumed to be the main beneficial nutrient
