This is one of those rare videos I do that’s not just straight peer-reviewed science. If you want more of this kind of analysis, this is what comprised the second half of my book How Not to Die (https://nutritionfacts.org/book/). Note all of the recipes from my How Not to Die cookbook (https://nutritionfacts.org/cookbook/) are comprised of 100% Green Light ingredients. Wait how do you make something taste salty without salt? Sweet without sugar? Check it out! (all proceeds I receive from all my books donated to charity). 

I explore another one of the tools I introduced in the book in another video, Dr. Greger’s Daily Dozen Checklist (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dr-gregers-daily-dozen-checklist).

Let me know if you like these more light-hearted animation approaches or you’d rather me just stick to the science.
