Also found beneficial for marathon runners (Preserving Immune Function in Athletes With Nutritional Yeast (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/preserving-immune-function-in-athletes-with-nutritional-yeast/)). Chlorella and wakame may also help boost immunity (Preserving Athlete Immunity with Chlorella (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/preserving-athlete-immunity-with-chlorella) and How to Boost Your Immune System with Wakame Seaweed (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-boost-your-immune-system-with-wakame-seaweed)). And so can produce! (Using the Produce Aisle to Boost Immune Function (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/using-the-produce-aisle-to-boost-immune-function)).

The How Not to Die Cookbook (available for preorder at NutritionFacts.org/cookbook) has a great recipe in it for Nutty Parm—a condiment I like to put on whole grain pasta, salads, sautéed veggies, and more. Now you can get that recipe on the site at https://nutritionfacts.org/recipe/nutty-parm, as one of our sneak peeks into the cookbook (all proceeds I receive to charity, of course).

The reason egg consumption is associated with elevated cancer risk may be the TMAO, considered the “smoking gun” of microbiome-disease interactions.

DESCRIPTION: Benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH—an enlarged prostate gland—affects 80% of older men, but like many other Western chronic diseases it appears to be a consequence of our diet. The reference to diet affecting the growth of prostate cancer is covered in Tuesday's Ex Vivo Cancer Proliferation Bioassay (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/developing-an-ex-vivo-cancer-proliferation-bioassay/), with a follow-up in yesterday's video-of-the-day (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-it-the-diet-the-exercise-or-both/). Until today I only had one BPH video (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/just-the-flax-maam/), in which flax seeds were found to work as well as the leading drug without any of the adverse side effects. In tomorrow's video-of-the-day, Prostate vs. Plants (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/prostate-versus-plants/), I'll explore other foods that have been found to help. Then on Monday, Prostate vs. a Plant-Based Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/prostate-versus-a-plant-based-diet/), will replicate the prostate cancer experiments with normal prostate cells to see if eating healthier can also slow their growth. I have more than twice as many videos on women's health (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/womens-health/) compared to men's health (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/mens-health/), but these next few days will help close the gap!

Happy holidays to all! Please consider making an end-of-year donation to NutritionFacts.org and help keep us growing strong at www.nutritionfacts.org/donate.
Year after year, more than half of our entire annual operating budget has been raised around these final few weeks of the year. So we count on your giving season generosity to make a tax-deductible donation to keep NutritionFacts.org going and growing.
We need to raise more than usual this year, because I need to take the next year off from speaking so I can concentrate on writing my next book, so that loss in speaking honoraria has to be made up in donations. Please “root” for the facts by helping us fill the carrot!

The new dietary guidelines for beverages recommend tea and coffee second only to water in healthfulness, but what about concerns they might impair the function of our endothelium?
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/
I’m fascinated by how complicated such a simple question can get. The take-home is that water is the healthiest beverage, followed by tea.
The effects of coffee on cancer risk are more salutary:
Coffee and Cancer (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/coffee-and-cancer)
What About the Caffeine? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/what-about-the-caffeine)
Preventing Liver Cancer with Coffee? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-liver-cancer-with-coffee)
It also matters what goes into the coffee. My video on aspartame and brain function (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/aspartame-and-the-brain/) explores the potential benefits of coffee in reducing suicide risk, which may be undermined by the addition of artificial sweeteners.
Since this video was originally published, I have some newer ones on coffee:
Does Coffee Affect Cholesterol? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/does-coffee-affect-cholesterol)
Which Coffee Is Healthier: Light vs. Dark Roast? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/which-coffee-is-healthier-light-vs-dark-roast/)
Does Low-Acid Coffee Cause Less Acid Reflux? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/does-low-acid-coffee-cause-less-acid-reflux/)
Do the Health Benefits of Coffee Apply to Everyone? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/do-the-health-benefits-of-coffee-apply-to-everyone/)
Regarding artery function, I also have videos on walnuts, dark chocolate, tea, plant-based diets, olive oil, and vinegar. Just go to NutritionFacts.org and do a search for them.

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.
