Given that our diet is the #1 cause of death and disability, surely nutrition is the #1 thing doctors learn in medical school, right? Surely it’s the #1 your doctor talks to you about. How could there be such a disconnect between the available evidence and the practice of medicine? Let’s do a thought experiment… 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/ In this video, I try to answer the question that surely must occur to anyone even dipping their toes into the lifestyle medicine literature: “Wait a second, if this were true, why didn’t my doctor tell me?” If, for example, our #1 killer can be reversed through diet, why isn’t it front page news, taught to every medical student, broadcast from every mountaintop by medical organizations and government dietary guidelines? Still confused? Check out my other videos address the question: • Lifestyle Medicine: Treating the Causes of Disease (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/lifestyle-medicine-treating-the-causes-of-disease/) • The McGovern Report (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-mcgovern-report/) • The Tomato Effect (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-tomato-effect/) • Optimal Diet: Just Give it To Me Straight, Doc (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/optimal-diet-just-give-it-to-me-straight-doc/) • Physicians May Be Missing Their Most Important Tool (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/physicians-may-be-missing-their-most-important-tool/) For more on the parallels between smoking then, and eating today see: • American Medical Association Complicity with Big Tobacco (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/american-medical-association-complicity-big-tobacco/) • Big Food Using the Tobacco Industry Playbook (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/big-food-using-the-tobacco-industry-playbook/) • Collaboration with the New Vectors of Disease (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/collaboration-with-the-new-vectors-of-disease/) • When Low Risk Means High Risk (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/when-low-risk-means-high-risk/) • The Healthy Food Movement: Strength in Unity (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-healthy-food-movement-strength-in-unity/) Is the risk of smoking and the Standard American Diet really comparable, though?

(http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-the-obesity-paradox-real-or-myth) As a reminder, BMI doesn’t take composition of weight into account (fat versus muscle). I dive into this topic in my next video:: What’s the Ideal Waist Size? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/whats-the-ideal-waist-size). While we should not understate the health risks that obesity raises—all of which are outlined in my series on the ABCs of obesity—we also recognize the effects that stigma against body size has on one’s health. We will have several videos to be released within the next few months covering issues of body shaming and how it affects not only mental health, but also access to healthcare.
