DESCRIPTION:Risk of developing cataracts was compared in meateaters, fish-eaters, vegetarians, and vegans. Have a question about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-cataracts-with-diet/ and I'll try to answer it! The concentration of advanced glycation end-products in animal-based foods may help explain this finding; see my video Glycotoxins (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/glycotoxins/). In Prevent Glaucoma and See 27 Miles Farther (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/prevent-glaucoma-and-see-27-miles-farther/) I covered the second leading cause of blindness, glaucoma, and the day before that I covered two other leading causes of vision loss in Preventing Macular Degeneration with Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-macular-degeneration-with-diet/), where I also touch on diabetic retinopathy. I have 105 other videos on plant-based diets (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/plant-based-diets/) and hundreds of other videos on more than a thousand subjects (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/)—I hope you'll check them out.

DESCRIPTION: We've known our mental state can affect our gut flora, but might our good bacteria be affecting our mental state?
This closes out my 4-part video series on the latest in probiotic science. I started with the two most established indications for their use in Preventing and Treating Diarrhea with Probiotics (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-and-treating-diarrhea-with-probiotics/), then moved onto a more speculative use in Preventing the Common Cold with Probiotics? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-the-common-cold-with-probiotics/), and then offered practical advice on how to best take probiotic supplements in my last video, Should Probiotics Be Taken Before, During, or After Meals? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/should-probiotics-be-taken-before-during-or-after-meals/).
The colon removal story reminds me of the mastectomies they used to do for breast pain (Plant-Based Diets For Breast Pain http://nutritionfacts.org/video/plant-based-diets-for-breast-pain/).
Why might the vegetarian diet alone have improved mood? Check out my videos Plant-Based Diet & Mood (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/plant-based-diet-mood/) and the follow-up Improving Mood Through Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/improving-mood-through-diet/) as well as my serotonin series starting with Human Neurotransmitters in Plants (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/human-neurotransmitters-in-plants/).

• Fibromyalgia vs. Mostly Raw & Mostly Vegetarian Diets (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fibromyalgia-vs-mostly-raw-mostly-vegetarian-diets/)
What else might our good bacteria be doing for us? They may be helping with weight control (Fawning Over Flora http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fawning-over-flora/ and Gut Flora & Obesity http://nutritionfacts.org/video/gut-flora-obesity/) and serving up anti-cancer compounds! (Flax and Fecal Flora http://nutritionfacts.org/video/flax-and-fecal-flora/ and Sometimes the Enzyme Myth Is True http://nutritionfacts.org/video/sometimes-the-enzyme-myth-is-true/).

If copper is associated with Alzheimer’s disease, what about healthy whole plant food sources such as nuts, seeds, beans, and whole grains?
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/
But isn’t Alzheimer’s genetic? What about the “Alzheimer’s “gene.” Just because we’ve been dealt some bad genetic cards doesn’t mean we can’t reshuffle the deck with diet. See The Alzheimer’s Gene: Controlling ApoE (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-alzheimers-gene-controlling-apoe).
If the relationship between cholesterol and dementia is new to you, please see
Alzheimer’s and Atherosclerosis of the Brain (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/alzheimers-and-atherosclerosis-of-the-brain) and Cholesterol and Alzheimer’s disease (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cholesterol-and-alzheimers-disease).
For more on what we can al do to protect our brain, check out:
• Preventing Alzheimer’s with Lifestyle Changes (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-alzheimers-with-lifestyle-changes)
• Preventing Alzheimer’s Disease with Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-alzheimers-disease-with-diet)

• Reducing Glycotoxin Intake to Prevent Alzheimers (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/Reducing-Glycotoxin-Intake-to-Prevent-Alzheimers)
And it’s never too early to start eating healthier, because Alzheimer’s May Start Decades Before Diagnosis (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/alzheimers-may-start-decades-before-diagnosis).

Adding myrosinase enzymes in the form of even a pinch of mustard powder to cooked cruciferous (cabbage-family) vegetables like kale, collards, or Brussels sprouts can offer anti-cancer sulforaphane levels comparable to raw, removing the necessity to pre-chop for maximum health benefits.
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/
Is that cool or what?! I love kitchen chemistry. Totally revolutionized my daily greens prep. For those new to the whole enzyme concept I’m sure this is a bit confusing. Make sure to watch the original “chemical flare” video The Best Detox (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-best-detox/) and then the hack and hold strategy in Sometimes the Enzyme Myth is the Truth (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/sometimes-the-enzyme-myth-is-true/).
This helps explain the results I presented in Raw Broccoli and Bladder Cancer Survival (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/raw-broccoli-and-bladder-cancer-survival).
OK, but what’s so great about this sulforaphane stuff? For a taste, see:
• Broccoli Versus Breast Cancer Stem Cells (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/broccoli-versus-breast-cancer-stem-cells)

The elimination of all dairy products was found to cure constipation in up to 100% of kids tested, leading to a resolution of rectal inflammation and complications such as anal fissures.
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/
Isn’t this amazing? I just kept thinking, "why didn’t I learn this in medical school?" Is the dairy lobby so persuasive that a cheap, simple, safe, life-changing intervention like this remains buried? Until now! If you appreciate learning what your child’s pediatrician probably never did, please consider making a donation (https://nutritionfacts.org/donate/) to the 501c3 nonprofit charity that keeps this website going. I don’t make a penny off the site, but it does require substantial server and logistics costs.
