B vitamins aren't really a problem on a vegan diet. Deficiencies in B vitamins now days are relatively rare in industrialized countries, whether or not you eat meat.
The video is quite balanced, non-biased. I'm mostly vegan (I eat free range humainly raised chicken eggs). However, the fallacy is the same: "vegans are lacking vitamin B12 and assential amono acids", this couldn't be further from the truth. a. B12 is found, in large quantities, in nutritional yeast, mushrooms, kelp. Also, potatoes, beets, and other root foods, contain a bacteria that once ingested in will make the B12. There is no better B12 source. Eat them fermented! Furthermore, B12 in meats comes from the bacteria that those animals had in their guts. b. Essential amino acids, chickpeas, lentils, soy products (I only eat fermented versions of it), contain them. I wish that people start to look into later studies to learn this. When we look at where the uttermost important micro-nutrients, microbiome, phytonutrients, antioxydants, flavonoids, vitamins, minerals, etc., they all come plants. Meat is just the middle man. Also, it's important to mention that we need to make sure that the meat consumed comes from grass fed, humainly raised, non-GMO animals, and that all plant foods must be organic, and non-GMO, otherwise, we're just poisoning ourselves. Really!
Nearly 10 years vegan and my B12 levels are tip top. The great thing about a plant based diet is the zero dietary cholesterol. Something, all meat eaters do have to worry about. My cousin loved her KFC and the Sunday roast. she dropped dead on her 40th birthday while making a brew for her mum. My advice is to not follow the advice of Dr Axe or any doctor recommending the consumption of flesh.
13 years VEGAN, Dr. Axe come on man, VEGANISM wins!!!!!!!! Veganism is not a diet, it is a lifestyle. A whole foods plant-based diet, is the healthiest choice, most people are now coming around to the "FACT" of this but some are not as smart, a little slower to listen to this type of news shock to their minds and beliefs systems but, this is the truth. A VEGAN diet is best for the animals, for health and the environment. THAT IS IT!! What you said about a long term Vegan diet is ridiculous.
My best mate died because he was brainwashed by vegans. We tried to get him on a vegetarian diet but he just wouldn't stop till he ended up dead. YOU VEGANS ARE SO OFFENSIVE.
The Paleo diet is dairy-free so you didn't know anyone following a paleo diet eating ANY butter. Enzymes are denatured in the stomach, they have no benefit to human health. Diet pH doesn't change human pH.
Paleo is obviously superior to the awful Standard American Diet, that's why you see improvement in people who do that switch. Now vegans low in B Vitamins and minerals? Nonsense… although it may be true for those not eating enough calories… With the exception of vitamin B12, which even paleo folks may need to supplement, especially if over 65 years old, a whole food vegan diet provides all the body needs and easily. Also, vegan diets can arrest and even reverse cardiovascular disease, diabetes, arthritis and some types of cancers… no paleo diet have been shown to do that! You are a doctor, advice the healthiest diet and let people makeup their mind. Why are you advising just a mere dietary "improvement" over the S.A.D diet (which is what Paleo is)? At least, you should clarify that for a paleo diet to be healthy it would contain VERY LITTLE meat… basically, use meat as a condiment in foods. Take a look at The Blue Zones: The longest living populations on earth. By the way, one of the five is vegan, and ALL OF THEM consume lots of legumes, which the paleo diet discourages based on nonsense arguments.
My grandparents lived over 100 years in the country side they ate cheese, milk, pork, meat, fat and plenty of vegetables and grains. I also know 3 other people in that case. They were really strong and full of energy. Never got sick. Nothing was processed though.
Dr. Axe was absolutely right about everything until he starts taking about dairy. Most people should absolutely not consume dairy (with the exception of organic mozzarella cheese, and/or organic feta cheese in moderation). Only people who may be able to handle much more dairy than that of which I mentioned above, are people with type B antigens on the surface of their red blood cells. This is due to the lectins not being in opposition to the antigens and the body being able to actually use dairy to it's benefit. People with type A antigens, or lack of a surface antigen (also known as type O) will not find the benefit of dairy and may even suffer great side effects because the body is trying to communicate to one that dairy is compromising it's strength and integrity.
Doing pros and cons in this case is a faulty approach to this subject. Why don’t we discuss the pros and cons of the flat earth theory and the spherical earth theory?
My mom used to get migraines on a regular basis, and more recently she was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. She tried going paleo for a month, didn’t get any headaches, and adopted it into her life. She almost never gets migraines now, and she has more energy. She’ll still eat bread or ice cream, she just has to decide if it’s worth the hour of congestion or mild stomach pain. Of course, in my mind, cutting out sugar gluten & dairy is cutting out happiness. Someone suggested I try going paleo, but it would be insanely difficult as a college student that doesn’t eat enough food in general. But I am generally content with the way I feel. My point is that these things can definitely work very well, but not necessarily for everyone.
Newsflash / Update on how agriculture works: 1. Find and clear the most fertile land destroying ecosystems with thousands of animals 2. Kill more animals through using pesticides in the soil (unless organic) to stop animals eating the crops which are competing for their land that was just cleared 3. The pesticides go into the roots of the soil which damages the soil so that more land has to be cleared and the process has to start again, killing more animals 4. The pesticides run off into rivers, lakes, oceans creating pollution which kills marine life 5. Think of the capital, machinery such as irrigation and human maintenance required to grow vegetables or grain
Now compare to eating meat: 1. Animals eat the grass 2. The animals 'remains' make the grass grow
So many smarter doctors would disagree with you . Whole food plant based is the one. Stop using the term Vegan. Whole food plant based that avoids all animal products
Wow i was excited about learning how to combine a vegan and paleo diet as i am vegan and looking to eat modified paleo as well, but this video is so biased towards paleo and gives an insane amount of misinformation about veganism and what is considered “healthy”. I’d suggest looking for other videos about veganism for those who want to learn true facts about veganism!!!
There is no science which shows that persons following paleo diet reversed their heart disease. But there are studies showing results that people following oil free sugar free vegan diet reverse atherosclerosis. See dr Dean ornish and Dr Caldwell eselstyn research.
Vegan minus added oil, sugar and processed carbs is best diet. B12 supliment is very important but no need of protein supplements. Protein deficiency without calories deficit is almost non existent. RDA of protein for men is 56gm and for wemen it is 50 gm. We get lot more protein than that. And RDA is maximum protein requirements not minimum. Average protein requirements is 42gm but RDA is always more than average protein requirement.
Bullshit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMOjVYgYaG8&frags=pl%2Cwn There are no deficiencies in a proper vegan diet. This is animaI industry propaganda. 38 years vegan. I have no deficiencies, no doctors, no supplements, and no cruelty, torture, and bloody murder in my meals, 3 times a day, everyday.
paleo diet seems great and all but didnt hunter gatherers eat way more fruits than anything else? It was hard to find meat and when they did it wouldnt be every day… also the quality of the meat and fish is wayyyyy different. Our oceans are full of plastic and the fish are eating it too, not to mention all the other crap in the water. Lastly, factory farming and even your 'organic industry farms' are feeding animals the same medication and antibiotics. Im sorry to all you paleo dieters but we have evolved and the quality of the animals you're buying at the grocery store is not at all the same as the meat you'd get if you actually did hunt.
the paleo diet is not a fan of grains and legumes… but then you ask yourself, what do the animals eat? they eat grains and legumes so why not cut out the middle man and eat the grains and legumes yourself? Animals also get their protein from grains and legumes. Also, take vitamine b12 supplement and walk outside for vitamine D. I am by no means qualified in nutrition however, anyone that looks at it logically will see that we are not cavemen.
you can ABSOLUTELY get all of your b12 and amino acids on a vegan diet WITHOUT supplementing. Most people are deficient of these things to begin with, it is not just those on a vegan diet. of course being vegan you may lack certain vitamins and such but so do many non vegans! a quick google search can tell you TONS of plant based foods rich in omegas, vitamins, and amino acids.
Pretty sure a paleo diet is dairy free so how would bacon and conventional butter be considered paleo? lol.. also vegan>paleo in my humble opinion.. lots less fat, lots less cholesterol, infinitely better for the environment in terms of water and emissions, plus no animals need to die.. i've been vegan for just over a year now and i'm the healthiest i've ever been in my life
This guy is such a joke. B12 is a modern hygiene issue. On the otherhand meat based diets is low in fiber high in fat. End up having to correct the long term damage from this with statins and hypertension medication. All considerable studies confirm that a whole food plant based diet is the healthiest diet for a human. We evolved 22 million years to the consumption of a fruit based diet high in fiber and with no fat. The "paleo" diet this goof refers to is the last 2.5 million years. Still high in fiber with occasional scavenged meats. It's only in the last few 1000 years that we've been eating more animal based diets. Check the science Axe so you can stop leading people on with your uninformed opinions on these matters.
Vegans are the best endurance athletes. Deficiency in B12 is only real concern easily addressed with a supplement. Want to be lean and high energy you eat a ton of fruit and vegetables. Paleo cannot provide high level energy and too much fat incorporated.
Um, you CAN get vitamin B12 in soy milk, for example. Plants have ALL essential amino acids. Flax seeds have omega3, with no cholesterol (meat has a ton of cholesterol) and meat eaters don’t get enough fiber. Eggs have the highest cholesterol of any food. Whole food plant based vegans live longer than meat eaters, period. This guy is spreading misinformation that is going to get people killed.
There's a world of difference between being on a plant based diet and being vegan. Don't confuse the two doc. Being vegan has nothing to do with the food you eat. It's about not contributing to the killing and exploitation of innocent animals. Period!
If you eat a plant based diet for health reasons but you still buy leather shoes, Tide detergent, Dove soap, etc then you're not vegan.
I LOVE THIS DIET! I consume lots of organic greens, fruits and fats. I don't go over board on the meat, I love my greens and healthy fats. My brain health is so much better, I am happy!! Eat organic everything, and grass fed meats, problem solved! You will feel amazing!!

Alkalizing your body…goodbye, not doctor
Why not both + raw
i love reading the comments by angry vegans lol

Can take vegan diet and at the same time take supplements and red rice will do, only eat some small fish will do to substitute meat
Paleo paleo paleo paleo 😍😍 but i eat rice not strict to it

there alot of zinc in vegan diet
Lots of butt hurt vegans here.

We eat the Paleo diet and phase 1(from Doug Kaufman) ,but don't eat a lot of meat.
Organic shrimp and fish (and most are) are super healthy. In southern Louisiana we get all of our seafood organic. Fresh off the boat.
When it comes right down to it there can be no true Vegans because seeders and harvesting maim or kill thousands of birds, mammals and reptiles.
just ate a delicious steak with mushrooms

vegan for the win.
Josh, nobody wants their nutritional advice from “ancient texts” AKA the Bible.
ha ha ha, conartist!
