This is the recording of Dr. Greger's live Q&A. 00:00 Introduction 1:23 Is it possible for an 84 year old to have high blood pressure? On a WFPB diet and low salt intake? 2:51 Do high omega-3 oils for skincare provide similar benefits to ingestion; or is there no effect topically? I use plant/nut oils as body moisturizer. 3:44 I am 26 years old and I have non-alcoholic hepatic steatosis. Do you have any advice for me? 4:23 Is mallow ok to consume in big amounts? 4:44 Don’t you miss okara (soybean pulp) in store bought soy milk and tofu? Can we consider them as whole foods? 7:04 Does it matter how much sodium in miso? I find only 11,000 per 100. And is whole grain matza healthy? 8:42 How concerned should I be if my HDL is low (below 39) with low LDL levels? 12:17 Any suggestions for a 20 month old who isn’t gaining weight and is being recommended dairy based supplementation? 13:06 Can anything help an enlarged aorta possibly with Marfan syndrome? 13:49 What is the best B12 to take and what dose? Also, how do you reduce for BMI fast? 15:22 Is it harmful to take daily allergy meds? 16:33 Should I take any supplements on a PBD? 17:09 Could chronic anemia trigger an onset of sickle cell disease in those with traits? 18:10 Soy formula vs cows formula? Do babies need the hormones in cows formula? 18:34 For a vegetable/fruit wash you recommend a 1:10 ratio of salt to water. You did not state how long the veg/fruit needed to be in the bath, is this a soak, scrub or a quick dip. 19:32 Using soy infant formula when unable to breastfeed, I was told by a pediatrician that I shouldn’t be using it for baby under 6 months/for dietary (non-allergy) reasons. Is it safe for baby’s future fertility? 20:39 How long can you keep ground flax seeds in the fridge before they oxidize? Is the absence of bitter taste conclusive proof they’re ok? 21:30 My husband suffers from gout - he eats mostly vegan & avoids all high purine foods with no relief – any other tips? 23:26 What are the reasons that cause frothy urine? Is it always a problem? 25:08 Should we drink the juice from pickled foods despite possible high salt content? 25:27 Heme iron deficiency and Alzheimer’s disease? I know it’s a potential carcinogen, but could it be essential for some people? Maybe porphyria patients? And why aren’t you on the webinar Vegmed Berlin21? 26:50 There was a case in India in 2020 where someone on a vegan diet developed hydrocephalus. They think it was because they were not taking B12. Are you familiar with this case? Do you think this was why? 28:05 Recommendations for reducing water retention? 28:30 Do menopausal women need fat in their diet? 28:49 Is Dr. Avi’s scientific analysis of the heart disease reversal trials on a whole food plant based diet? 29:32 What grains/legumes are most poorly absorbed in animals leading to poor weight growth in animals? (Healthy for a robust gut microbiome) just sorghum or is millet better? Thank you to our wonderful volunteer, Mya!

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: Young infants and perhaps those with recurrent oxalate kidney stones should avoid beets, but most commonly the chief side-effect is beeturia, the harmless passage of pink urine, though not all are affected, akin to the malodorous urine ("stinky pee") that sometimes results from asparagus consumption. Have a question about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/asparagus-pee/ and I'll try to answer it! If you missed the beginning of this series, start with the experiments described in Doping with beet juice (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/doping-with-beet-juice/) and replicated in yesterday's video (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/out-of-the-lab-onto-the-track/). In Monday's video-of-the-day, I'll use beeturia to illustrate an important point about phytonutrients and return to the nitric oxide story on Tuesday. Have a great weekend, and feel free to spend it watching hundreds of my other videos on more than a thousand subjects (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/). For the asparagus lovers out there, check out my videos #1 Anticancer Vegetable (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/1-anticancer-vegetable/) and Best Cooking Method (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/best-cooking-method/).
