In his newest live presentation, Dr. Greger offers a sneak peek into his new book How Not to Diet.
The effects of ketogenic diets on nutrient sufficiency, gut flora, and heart disease risk.
A low-fiber diet is a key driver of microbiome depletion, the disappearance of diversity in our good gut flora.
In certain medical conditions, probiotic supplements may actually make things worse.
Avocado consumption can improve artery function, but what effect might guacamole have on cancer risk?
One way a diet rich in animal-sourced foods like meat, eggs, and cheese may contribute to heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and death is through the production of toxin called TMAO.
Green tea may help with athlete’s foot, dental plaque, acne, impetigo, and bladder infections, but if it’s so good at killing bacteria, what may it do to our gut flora?
What’s more important: probiotics or prebiotics? And where can we best get them?
Fiber isn’t the only thing our good gut bacteria can eat. Starch can also act as a prebiotic.
Though prebiotics may be preferable, probiotics may reduce the risk of upper respiratory tract infections.
Expanding on the subject of my upcoming appearance on The Dr. Oz Show, a landmark new article in the New England Journal of Medicine shows that choline in eggs, poultry, dairy, and fish produces the same toxic TMAO as carnitine in red meat—which may help explain plant-based protection from heart disease and prostate cancer.
The role this exotic fruit plays in health promotion.
