More Than an Apple a Day: Preventing the Most Common Diseases - Dr. Greger’s Evidenced-Based Nutrition DVD Series

The gist: research says that eating plants makes you well and eating animals makes you sick. Don't believe it? Watch his DVDs. He's not a diet guru selling a diet (his website, NutritionFacts.org is a dot-org not a dot-com and you can watch all his DVDs, including this one, there for free): he's simply a nerdy doctor who disseminates easy-to-digest summaries of the thousands of clinical & professional journals he reads. Occasionally he even includes stuff from governmental food agencies acquired under the Freedom of Information Act and trade journals from groups like the American Beef Grower's Association (or whatever) which is eye opening.I'm an unabashed fan. I like the data, that the data comes from a source with no commercial interests, his superb use of graphics, his great use of transitions between topics, and his excellent use of humor.See also last year's annual project: UPROOTING THE LEADING CAUSES OF DEATH.Let's put it this way. When I talk about the book EATS, SHOOTS & LEAVES I say, "You have to be a really good writer to make the topic of punctuation interesting, 'cuz it's hard to think of a more boring topic." This DVD is like that: he makes QUICK, HOMOROUS and INTERESTING presentations from the driest material imaginable.To learn from him in this way is motivating in that it helps me REALLY "GET" what those things I eat do to my body, in both the short & long term, both positive and negative ... and also how things have come to pass that cheeseburgers are cheap but vegetables are expensive. These have been a real boon for me.

Great, informative DVD, by renowned Dr. Michael Greger M. D., providing a culmination of the most current research on the prevention and reversing of all known diseases and disorders. The research proves, hands down, that plant-based diets prevent and reverse disease and disorder. This DVD describes how, if a person has already gotten cancer, adding a single portion of broccoli to their diet, once a day, reduces the chance of getting cancer again by 50%. And that is just adding one vegetable. What if you ate nothing but vegetables and whole grains, chances are, cancer will not return. He also speaks of MS and how eating a plant-based whole grain diet will cause the symptoms of MS to vanish. In addition, he speaks of hardening of the arteries as a disease that begins from birth. Even 10 year old children have some damage to their arteries from the dairy and meat that they are eating. Atherosclerosis, hardening of the arteries is a progressive disease and begins as soon as we eat saturated fats(hamburgers, chicken), trans fats(crackers), and cholesterol from food(eggs). This damage can be reversed by switching to a plant-based whole grain diet. Eat all the fruits and vegetables, 100% whole wheat bread, brown rice, lentils, quinoa and mushrooms that you want, and you will heal your arteries! Here are the scientific studies that prove this works!

Dr Micheal Greger in his humorus way gives us a very wonderful ideas what can we do for our health thank you Mr gerger

THIS definitely is life changing in so many ways that I don't have the time to list how it could be, for me. The bottomline is that YOU MUST decided, only you. YOUR success, just like everything in life, is dependant on whether you want to really make this transition versus just wanting to find something quick. We where looking for a video like Forks over Knifes and found this by Dr Greger M.D. The facts are laid before you, not from his findings, but from various studies and test that makes you think. I loved his comedic and funny presentations, and I have started to look more into this change after viewing this video. If you didn't like Forks over Knives this video is NOT for you. But if you are looking for an answer for preventing the most common diseases and open and will commit to change, this is for you.

This is the second best film I have ever watched. The best was FORKS OVER KNIVES, which I also purchased from Amazon.com. Dr. Michael Greger has quite a sense of humor, and as a consequence of seeing both of these films, I am proud to announce that I am now a 71 year old Vegan. I became Vegan at the age of 70. I wish I had seen these two films earlier in my life. I hope you'll watch them too.

This is an eye-opening review of recent medical research on nutrition and disease. While it takes "More Than an Apple a Day" to keep oneself healthy, the evidence shows many simple changes in diet we can make to avoid the common chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Dr. Greger is a great speaker and you will not be bored hearing his presentation, done before a live group.

This DVD will open your eyes about the American diet. When you come to understand that a diet void of meat and dairy will give you a longer healther life with far less medical problems you will be amazed. Our American Government does not want you to know about this life style change because it thinks it will hurt the economy. If this DVD interest you and you would like to learn more please watch the DVD "Forks over Knives" also sold by Amazon.

I have had the opportunity to listen to all of Dr. Greger's "Latest in Clinical Nutrition volumes. He continues to improve [his work was already excellent]. Both this volume, and "The Leading Causes of Death" are stellar performances in both delivery, breath and depth of knowledge. I have been in the nutrition and exercise field for over 34 years, learning from the best. Dr. Greger is one of the best presenters of information available to the world today.

Everyone needs to watch this. When doctors go to school for all those years to learn to be doctors, during that entire time they only spend about a total of anywhere’s from 2-20 hrs learning about nutrition, that’s it! They are mostly taught what pharmaceutical drugs to prescribe for this or that. Basically becoming nothing more than glorified drug pushers. Here a doctor as gone back and learned as much as he can on how nutrition as the biggest effects on the body for good or bad and how many diseases and ailments can be reversed and cured by perfect nutrition.DO NOT MISS THIS!! I MEAN IT!!
