Lifestyle approaches aren’t just safer and cheaper. They can work better, because you’re treating the actual cause of the disease.

You can imagine how overwhelming NutritionFacts.org might be for someone new to the site. With videos on more than 2,000 health topics, where do you even begin? Imagine someone stumbling onto the site when the new video-of-the-day is about how some spice can be effective in treating a particular form of arthritis. 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).

DESCRIPTION: In a national survey, fewer than half of the participants realized meat contaminated with fecal food-poisoning bacteria such as Salmonella can still legally be sold. Rather than producing safe products, the meat industry shifts the responsibility for safety onto the consumer. Industry experts, in fact, admit it's too expensive for the industry not to sell contaminated chicken—see Fecal Bacteria Survey (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/). For questionable steps the meat industry is taking to mediate the threat see Viral Meat Spray (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/viral-meat-spray) and Maggot Meat Spray (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/maggot-meat-spray). The risks of handling fresh meat are discussed in Food Poisoning Bacteria Cross-Contamination (http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/food-poisoning-bacteria-cross-contamination/). There are 25 other videos on foodborne illness (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/foodborne-illness/) and hundreds of other videos on more than a thousand subjects at http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/.

Unlike most antiviral drugs, green tea appears to work by boosting the immune system to combat diseases such as genital warts (caused by HPV) and the flu (caused by the influenza virus).

Studies in the 70’s appeared to show an extraordinary survival gain in terminal cancer patients with vitamin C, a simple, relatively nontoxic therapy.
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/
Welcome to IV Vitamin C and cancer week on NutritionFacts.org! Sorry for the cliffhangers, but all will be revealed. It’s too important of a topic to not take a serious dive into, and so a single video could never do it justice. Stay tuned for Vitamin C Supplements for Terminal Cancer Patients (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/vitamin-c-supplements-for-terminal-cancer-patients) and The Role of Vitamin C in the Treatment of Terminal Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-role-of-vitamin-C-in-the-treatment-of-terminal-cancer).
You’ll notice I sometimes take slight departures from just covering strictly nutrition topics (like my Do Antidepressant Drugs Really Work? http://nutritionfacts.org/video/do-antidepressant-drugs-really-work/ video). I don’t seek such topics out, but just run across them in my nutrition research and can’t help but get sucked down the rabbit hole. I really wish there were other sites like this that would do evidence-based reviews of these important topics. In fact, there should be a dozen more just on nutrition!
LifestyleFacts.org (http://www.lifestylefacts.org/) is one attempt at covering other lifestyle medicine topics, and I know Dr. Mark Faries (http://fitnesspudding.com/) is considering doing something with ExerciseFacts.org. To facilitate this movement to provide us all with free, unbiased, science-based resources, I’d be happy to share the nitty gritty inner workings of NutritionFacts.org, in terms of how to get journal access, how to create the videos, etc. In fact, if there’s enough interest I may even do like a day-long seminar or something, but it would be limited to those who are seriously interested—it’s no small undertaking!
