The more i watch Dr Gregers videos, the closer i get to becoming an ex vegan.
Everybody has bind spots. Dr. Greger is no exception.
The healthiest, longest lived people in the world (Okinawans who eat their traditional diet)
eat seaweed at EVERY MEAL and are estimated to get 200 mg of iodine every day of their adult lives.
"In 1964, the Nutrition Section of Japan’s Bureau of Public Health
found that people in Japan
consumed a daily average of 4.5 g of seaweed with measured iodine content of 3.1 mg/g, or
13.8 mg of iodine."
Life expectancy in Japan is 81.25 years, compared to 77.85
years in the U.S.
Infant mortality rate in Japan is the lowest in the
world, 3.5 deaths under age 1 per 1,000 live births,
half the infant mortality rate in the United States.
