Can’t Make It, Sorry

  • They bring on a special guest Chris Shaffer, who works with Vinnie (4:30).
    • Chris was brought on because the other guest they were going to have backed out at the last minute.
    • Not surprisingly, Dr. Michael Greger was a last-minute no-show.
    • The group gives some backstory on prepping for this episode.
  • Gregor is now advocating protein restriction in his latest book. (18:00)
    • They discuss protein requirements and lean body mass.
  • Vinnie is fine with vegetarianism as it typically includes some animal proteins like eggs and cheese.
  • A question seen a lot is whether oatmeal is healthier than eggs. (26:00)
  • They discuss how Greger’s go-to phrase is always a generic term of “the literature” to try to block arguments. (30:00)
    • Nina Teicholz has taken all “the literature” Greger references and has turned it on its head. (31:00)
  • They go back to discuss the role of mTOR in the body, egg consumption, epidemiological studies, correlation, and more. (32:30)
    • There are faulty points Greger makes.
    • Greger is also against olive oil. (42:30)
  • There are three big things that they agree with Greger on. (46:00)
  • They chat about another vegan doctor who not only refused to be in Vinnie’s documentaries but berated Vinnie’s assistant. (51:30)
  • The whole point of what Vinnie, Anna, and Chris do is to spread the message of good health.
