Rooibos Tea Can Cause Liver Failure @vegsource

VegSource - Jeff Nelson My wife, Sabrina, went into acute liver failure last month, which her physicians attribute to consumption of a Rooibos tea, produced by Whole Foods. The liver specialists overseeing her case are documenting her situation for an academic publication. Most people are unaware Rooibos is a tea that may damage your liver. Researchers have reported it's not the tea but a contaminant that can get into it called pyrrolizidine alkaloids. And Rooibos can interact with a variety of medications, potentially diminishing their efficacy, including a number of commonly prescribed drugs like statins. This popular herbal tea is not benign. There are a lot of interesting case studies I review in my video today, such as people who were unaware their liver was being damaged, found out, and later healed their liver when they stopped drinking it. This video documents Sabrina's recent difficult experience, which put her in the hospital for a week. She's still recovering, hopefully will recover fully.

PlantStrong Legacy: 12 Years of Wellness

VegSource - Jeff Nelson 2023-09-05 | In 2010, Rip Esselstyn traveled to a small dairy town called Mercersburg, Pennsylvania - pretty much in the middle of nowhere. Rip had been invited by the local town doctor, Liz George MD, who wanted his help convincing her patients to adopt a plantstrong diet. She felt she could get a lot of them much healthier - and off medications - if they would do change their diet. Jeff and Willie Nelson (of VegSource) went along with Rip to film what happened. As you will see, Rip encouraged towns people to go plantstrong for 28 days, since they could get much healthier in that timeframe. 12 years later, we decided to catch up with the group, and see whether they were still being impacted by what they had learned.

VegSource - Jeff Nelson 2023-06-13 | Protect your brain through a healthy diet, exercise, mental stimulation, social interaction - and avoiding aluminum. Watch to learn what the aluminum industry would rather you not know. Consider using a silica-containing water or tea to help detox from past exposure.

DHA Boosters - Easy to Dupe Vegans

VegSource - Jeff Nelson 2023-06-07 | Have you noticed an uptick of vegans who have been scared into buying expensive DHA supplements to "prevent Alzheimer's?" Today we look at the latest study being touted to claim Omega-3 pills can save your brain. You probably haven't heard what that study actually showed - that omega-3 supplements, like popular algae-derived DHA many vegans are taking - are useless to protect against dementia! :)

I do not recommend omega-3 supplements of any kind, and as a vegan for almost 30 years, I don't recommend animal products.

Klapers DHA Endorsement: Whats the Evidence?

VegSource - Jeff Nelson 2023-04-12 | My old friend, Dr. Michael Klaper, recently released a video on the topic of DHA and brain health. His new video is an “update” to his DHA videos from 2019 and 2020.

Even though there is no new research to support his position, Dr. Klaper's recommendations for DHA supplementation are now the complete opposite of what he was advising people just a few years ago.

Dr. Klaper also seems to have taken on a new enemy - the vegan diet. Despite having passionately recommended it for people of all ages for well over 3 decades, he now describes a 100% plant-based diet without supplemental DHA as a potentially dangerous “experiment,” never before undertaken in human history.

But the truth is this is not a controversial issue. Dementia specialty organizations, composed of actual experts and researchers on dementia from across the globe - universally agree that neither DHA deficiency nor a vegan diet are risk factors for dementia. They also recommend against taking DHA supplements to prevent dementia.

Ironically, the dose of DHA supplement that Dr. Klaper is recommending to “protect the brain” (and the dose that is in Dr. Fuhrman’s DHA supplement) has basically no chance of actually getting to your brain.

This was recently demonstrated by brain researchers at the Keck School of Medicine at USC. They used spinal taps to see how much DHA actually makes it into your brain when you take popular DHA supplements. The answer is - very likely zero. You can raise your blood levels, but that has no impact on your brain.

NOTE: update - Dr Klaper has a newer video explaining why he is not taking omega 3 supplements, and that the omega 3 test does not tell you anything about omega 3 levels in your brain, so it’s not a useful test. You can view his more recent video here:

John Robbins 2001 Vintage Talk!

VegSource - Jeff Nelson 2021-09-27 | Two weeks after 9/11, in late September 2001, bestselling author and activist John Robbins spoke at our very first Healthy Lifestyle Expo event. John was the person who inspired my wife and me to go vegetarian, back in 1990. He started us on our journey, and 25 years ago when we launched our website, vegsource.com, we dedicated it to John and his wife, Deo. Today we bring you John's full one-hour enlightening, thoughtful talk. He talks about what eating animals says about and what it does to us - on many levels. It's powerful. Please enjoy!

John McDougall - 2001 Vintage Talk!

VegSource - Jeff Nelson 2021-09-21 | Just a little over two weeks after the 9/11 attacks - on Sept 29, 2001 - Dr. McDougall spoke at the first VegSource Healthy Lifestyle Expo event in Los Angeles. This was before Powerpoint - presentations were made with a slide projector. Listen to Dr. McDougall's message about diet and health, you will see it hasn't changed much since he started many decades ago! The truth, when you find it, doesn't keep changing or getting "updated" by "new research." What works is what always works!
