    I am from Turkey Raised with Mediterranean diet and raised my son the same way We moved to US when he was 3,5 years old and kept cooking at home never introduced processed food or sodas to him as long as I could He is 21 years old now and makes his own shopping He never even think about buying sodas or bacon or anything processed This is the best thing I have ever made for my son 😊 I saw in US parents and grandparents giving their 2-3 year old children coke by adding water in it so they can drink it. I was shocked. How you give these to a child that you love and poison them

    Buy whole food...cook for yourself.... (I've been a chef for 35 years)
  • @inca3370
    A good tip I got If you find it too difficult, just start by ADDING wholefoods to the plate of what you already are eating, and try eat those first.

    We’re the only creature on the planet that doesn’t know what to eat.

    I have been a lacto vegetarian since birth and gave up dairy about 10 years ago. So now I am on a whole food plant based diet, with no added sugar and very little salt. I am in my later half of 60s but look early 40s or even in late 30s when well rested. I have no wrinkles on my face. My blood tests are excellent and my total cholesterol is about 150 (below 200 is the current guideline). I do take B12 supplements.

    My Dad used to say that the healthiest diet was to walk away from the table. Everything in moderation.

    I have not eaten red meat, chicken or pork for 50 years. I can still do a decent number of pushups. I do eat good food. I don't eat the ultra processed stuff. No soda. Beer a couple times a week. Good interview with the doctor. He knows his stuff.

    Non-fat yogurt can also have more sugar added as a substitute. People need to take that into account.

    I've been vegan since entering my 40's (now 47) and am healthier and stronger than ever. I get regular detailed blood panels (twice annually)
  • Been to Greece twice a year, every year in the last twenty, shopping in supermarkets,local markets watching the locals what they put in their baskets/trolleys has influenced my diet and my families. The benefits are felt measurably. Great informative interview.
  • I'm not taking nutritional advice from John Bolton's brother 😂😂😂
  • My elderly mother eats a version of the nutritarian diet and according to the Levine Biological Age Calculator (Yale) based on her bloodwork test results, she has aged minus 20 years (biological age) during the last 5 years. I joke with her that she may need to give up her social security benefits if she keeps going like that 😮
  • How exciting to hear Dr. Willett speak. I have been a part of the Harvard Nurse's Study for 40 some years, and have always respected his work. Thank you for this very informative interview, David.

    I grew up in Greece in the 70’s and here’s what we ate (the whole country) - light breakfast, slice of bread with butter and jam or honey. Big lunch - main meal of the day - after 2pm (natural intermittent fasting), light supper snack no later than 8pm. Dinner was NEVER a sit down meal more of a snack - fruits veggies nuts, possibly some dairy or yogurt. 1. Red meat once per week, primarily lamb or pork - not beef. Chicken as a substitute for red meat often. 2. Fish once or twice per week, small fish, sardines, minnows, calamari, octopus, mullets, sea bass or branzino 3. Salad with every lunch. There was no lunch without a Greek salad - greens in the winter - tomatoes cucumbers feta onion in the summer (seasonal salads). Salad dressing was strictly Olive oil with red wine vinegar and sea salt plus oregano. 4. Legumes, beans, lentils and fresh organic veggies every day. Soups like bean soup lentil soup chickpea soup, etc. Fried foods like French fries were introduced in the 80’s. Fried was only fried fish like cod, calamari or minnows. Cereal for breakfast was introduced in the 80’s no good.

    Been vegan for a year and couldn't be happier with my choice! One thing to consider about your diet is the effect it has on others including animals.
