DESCRIPTION: Opiate-like casomorphins liberated from the cow's milk protein casein are accused of participating in the cause of such conditions as: autism, crib death, type I diabetes, postpartum psychosis, circulatory disorders, and food allergies. Have a question about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cows-milk-casomorphin-and-autism/ and I'll try to answer it! Please also see the last two videos in this series, Cow's Milk-Induced Infant Apnea (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cows-milk-induced-infant-apnea/) and yesterday's video (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cows-milk-casomorphin-and-crib-death/). Breast is always best, but the breast milk of women eating plant-based diets may not only exclude bovine casomorphins, but contain lower levels of industrial pollutants like dioxins. See Flame Retardant Chemical Contamination (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/flame-retardant-chemical-contamination-2/). For other effects animal products may have on healthy development, see Dairy & Sexual Precocity (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dairy-sexual-precocity/) and Protein and Puberty (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/protein-puberty/). No wonder Dr. Spock, the most esteemed pediatrician of all time, recommended children be raised without exposure to meat and dairy (see Doctors' Nutritional Ignorance - http://nutritionfacts.org/video/doctors-nutritional-ignorance/). And if that isn't enough, there are and hundreds of other videos on more than a thousand subjects (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/).

DESCRIPTION: To understand how beets could reduce the oxygen cost of exercise while improving athletic performance, one must review the biochemistry of energy production (ATP synthase) and the body's conversion of nitrates to nitrites into nitric oxide. Have a question about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/priming-the-proton-pump/ and I'll try to answer it! What sports physiology revolution am I talking about? See yesterday's video, Doping with beet juice (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/doping-with-beet-juice/). Daily viewers of NutritionFacts.org (http://nutritionfacts.org/) may recognize nitric oxide, featured a few weeks ago in The power of NO (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-power-of-no/). If bacteria on our tongue play a critical role in this process, what would happen to vegetable-enhanced athletic performance if we made the mistake of swishing with an antiseptic mouthwash? Find out in tomorrow's video, and in the meanwhile please feel free to check hundreds of my other videos on more than a thousand subjects (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/). And happy Valentine's day everyone! Check out my blog post Atkins Diet and Erectile Dysfunction (http://nutritionfacts.org/blog/2012/02/02/atkins-diet-and-erectile-dysfunction/) for tips on extending one's love life as well as the life of your love.

DESCRIPTION: There is a receptor in our intestines activated by phytonutrients in cruciferous vegetables that boosts immune function (the aryl hydrocarbon (Ah) receptor).
Did we really evolve eating that many plant foods? See my video Paleolithic Lessons (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/paleolithic-lessons/).
As remarkable as this story is, this is just the tip of the cruciferous iceberg! See, for example:
• #1 Anticancer Vegetable (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/1-anticancer-vegetable/)
• Prolonged Liver Function Enhancement From Broccoli (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/prolonged-liver-function-enhancement-from-broccoli/)
• Broccoli Versus Breast Cancer Stem Cells (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/broccoli-versus-breast-cancer-stem-cells/)
• The Best Detox (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-best-detox/)
• DNA Protection from Broccoli (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dna-protection-from-broccoli/)
• Prevent Breast Cancer by Any Greens Necessary (http://nutritionfacts.org/2013/06/13/prevent-breast-cancer-by-any-greens-necessary/)
How else can we protect our immune function? Exercise (Preserving Immune Function In Athletes With Nutritional Yeast, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preserving-immune-function-in-athletes-with-nutritional-yeast) and sleep! (Sleep & Immunity, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/sleep-immunity/).
Given the variety and flexibility of most mammalian diets, a specific dependence on cruciferous vegetables for optimal intestinal immune function would seem overly restrictive, no? I address that in my next video, Counteracting the Effects of Dioxins Through Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/counteracting-the-effects-of-dioxins-through-diet).
Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-broccoli-receptor-our-first-line-of-defense-2/ and he'll try to answer it!

DESCRIPTION: Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) supplementation can cost as little as $2 a year. Have a question about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/cheapest-source-of-vitamin-b12/ and I'll try to answer it! This is the third of a five-part video series this week on B12. For why one might choose supplements and fortified foods see yesterday's video of the day, Safest Source of B12 (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/safest-source-of-b12/). Tomorrow I'll cover various daily regimens. B12 is one of the few Vitamin Supplements Worth Taking (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/vitamin-supplements-worth-taking/). And if you're new to the issue, please see my blog post Vegan B12 Deficiency: Putting It into Perspective (http://nutritionfacts.org/blog/2011/08/25/vegan-b12-deficiency-putting-it-into-perspective/) for some background. If you're that much of a nutrinerd to enjoy these derivations, see my nine-part video series on vitamin D starting with Vitamin D Recommendations Changed (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/vitamin-d-recommendations-changed/). If you'd rather just cut to the chase, see my recommendations here (http://nutritionfacts.org/blog/2011/09/12/dr-greger%E2%80%99s-2011-optimum-nutrition-recommendations/). As always these are just a few of the 1,500 or so topics I have videos about (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/).

DESCRIPTION: Meat, animal protein, and soymilk (soya milk) can affect premature breast development in girls. Have a question about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/the-effect-of-soy-on-precocious-puberty/ and I'll try to answer it! Related videos on premature puberty include Hormones in Skim vs. Whole Milk (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/hormones-in-skim-vs-whole-milk/) and Xenoestrogens & Early Puberty (nutritionfacts.org/videos/xenoestrogens-early-puberty/).

Meta-analyses can be skewed in the other way too, by quietly shelving negative results so only the positive findings are published. Antidepressant medications are a classic example of this publication bias. Check out my coverage of it in my video Do Antidepressant Drugs Really Work? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/do-antidepressant-drugs-really-work/).
