Should we be concerned about high-choline plant foods such as broccoli producing the same toxic TMAO that results from eating high-choline animal foods such as eggs?

That was a fun video to record. Can you hear the frustration in my voice reading paper after paper proposing these ridiculous (but profitable!) answers when the safe, simple, side-effect free solution was staring them in the face the whole time? Makes me think of so many parallels, to the least of which are: • How Not to Die from Heart Disease (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-not-to-die-from-heart-disease/) • How Not to Die from Diabetes (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-not-to-die-from-diabetes/) • How Not to Die from High Blood Pressure (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-not-to-die-from-high-blood-pressure/) For more on TMAO, the “smoking gun” of diet-microbiome-disease interactions, see: • Eggs, Choline, and Cancer (httpss://nutritionfacts.org/video/eggs-choline-and-cancer/) • Carnitine, Choline, Cancer, and Cholesterol: The TMAO Connection (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/carnitine-choline-cancer-and-cholesterol-the-tmao-connection/) • Egg Industry Response to Choline and TMAO (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/egg-industry-response-to-choline-and-tmao) • How to Develop a Healthy Gut Ecosystem (httpss://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-develop-a-healthy-gut-ecosystem/) • How to Treat Heart Failure and Kidney Failure with Diet (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/How-to-Treat-Heart-Failure-and-Kidney-Failure-with-Diet) Have a question about this video?

Those on a healthy plant-based diet with elevated homocysteine levels despite taking sufficient vitamin B12 may want to consider taking a gram a day of contaminant-free creatine.

OK, so where do you get contaminant-free creatine? You can’t rely on supplement manufacturers no matter what they say, since the regulation is so lax, so I would recommend going directly to the chemical suppliers that sell it to laboratories and guarantee a certain purity. Here are some examples from some of the largest companies in alphabetical order where you can get unadulterated creatine: • Alfa Aesar (https://www.alfa.com/en/catalog/B25009/) • Fisher Scientific (https://www.fishersci.com/shop/products/creatine-monohydrate-99-acros-organics-3/AC226790250) • Sigma-Aldrich (https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/catalog/product/sigma/c3630?lang=en®ion=US) • TCI America (https://www.tcichemicals.com/eshop/en/us/commodity/C0396/) Have a question about this video?

Subscribe to NutritionFacts.org's free e-newsletter and receive a recipe from Dr. Greger's brand-new cookbook, The How Not to Diet Cookbook: https://nutritionfacts.org/subscribe/ DESCRIPTION: Breast cancer survivors may reduce their chances of survival if they eat too much saturated fat, found primarily in the American diet in cheese, chicken, and junk food. Have a question about this video? Leave it in the comment section at ‪http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/breast-cancer-survival-butterfat-and-chicken/‬ and I'll try to answer it! Note that the video said two things in their diets. I'll deal with the second tomorrow. This is not my first video on cancer survival (as opposed to prevention). See Saturated Fat & Cancer Progression (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/saturated-fat-cancer-progression-2/), Soy & Breast Cancer Survival (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/soy-breast-cancer-survival/), and Slowing the Growth of Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/slowing-the-growth-of-cancer-3/). I also have a bunch of videos on saturated fat the two most popular are probably Dietary Guidelines: From Dairies to Berries (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-guidelines-from-dairies-to-berries/) and Trans Fat, Saturated Fat and Cholesterol: Tolerable Upper Intake of Zero (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/trans-fat-saturated-fat-and-cholesterol-tolerable-upper-intake-of-zero/). For a comparison with a plant-based chicken product, see Chicken vs. Veggie Chicken (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/chicken-vs-veggie-chicken/), but there are also a few saturated plant fats. See Is Coconut Milk Good For You? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-coconut-milk-good-for-you/). And, if you'd like, hundreds of other videos on more than a thousand subjects (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/).
