Many doctors mistakenly rely on serum B12 levels in the blood to test for vitamin B12 deficiency. 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/ Now if you do get your homocysteine tested and despite both B12 supplementation and eating beans and greens it’s still too high (meaning double digits), I have a suggestion, as covered in the final two videos in this video series: Should Vegetarians Take Creatine to Normalize Homocysteine? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/should-vegetarians-take-creatine-to-normalize-homocysteine) and The Efficacy and Safety of Creatine for High Homocysteine (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-efficacy-and-safety-of-creatine-for-high-homocysteine).

What happens when you put cancer on a plant-based diet? 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/ You can imagine how overwhelming NutritionFacts.org might be for someone new to the site.

It would be easy to miss the forest for the trees. That’s why I created this new series of overview videos, which are basically taken straight from my hour-long live 2016 presentation How Not to Die: Preventing, Arresting, and Reversing Our Top 15 Killers (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-not-to-die).
