I watched that Doc's video about how eating plants is going to kill you.
My mom has been a vegetarian/vegan for over 40 years and is perfectly healthy.
Lot's of interesting stuff on the interenet.
Yeah, it's funny how people pick and choose what data and what study they use to back their claims.
I'm paraphrasing a famous quote: he uses stats the way a drunk uses a lamp post, more for support than for illumination.
The other Doc, Dr. Greger, wrote a book called how not to die. Promoting a purely plant based diet. Then organizes the book by disease types i.e. cancer, diabetes, congestive heart failure, hypertension, etc ... then cites various studies that shows when mice were fed 87 lbs of blueberries for 3 months blah blah blah bullshit bullshit bullshit showed lower cancer rates. Just one flawed application of data after the next. My god such a smug arrogant prick.
I say do what makes you feel good.
Ive said before how good I felt on keto. But about 10 months ago switched over to low fat, high carb, about .8 grams of protein per lb of bodyweight. I really like training on this diet.
My blood work was virtually the same on each type of diet. I get my bloods done at least twice a year. However my good cholesterol went up on the low fat diet. For years both my ldl and hdl were low. Now my hdl is in normal range. But I also started using fish oil and CoQ10 during that time too. So can't say it was due only to diet. I started taking those specifically to raise hdl.
