Does just reducing one’s intake of meat, dairy, and eggs significantly reduce mortality?

This is the fifth of a 6-part video series on the Mediterranean diet. Here’s the first four in case you missed them:
1. Why Was Heart Disease Rare in the Mediterranean? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/Why-Was-Heart-Disease-Rare-in-the-Mediterranean)
2. The Mediterranean Diet or a Whole Food Plant-Based Diet? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/The-Mediterranean-Diet-or-a-Whole-Food-Plant-Based-Diet)
3. PREDIMED: Does Eating Nuts Prevent Strokes? (http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/predimed-does-eating-nuts-prevent-strokes)
4. Which Parts of the Mediterranean Diet Extended Life? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/which-parts-of-the-mediterranean-diet-extended-life)

Last but not least I’ll cover improving on the Mediterranean Diet next (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/improving-on-the-mediterranean-diet).

I’ve done a few videos on the health of so-called semi-vegetarians or flexitarians (“flexible” vegetarians). See how they rate in:
• Plant-Based Diets and Diabetes (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/plant-based-diets-and-diabetes/)
• Fibromyalgia vs. Mostly Raw & Mostly Vegetarian Diets (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fibromyalgia-vs-mostly-raw-mostly-vegetarian-diets/)
• Preventing Cataracts with Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-cataracts-with-diet/)
• Dietary Treatment of Crohn’s Disease (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/achieving-remission-of-crohns-disease/)
• Metabolic Syndrome and Plant-Based Diets (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/metabolic-syndrome-and-plant-based-diets/)
• Never Too Late to Start Eating Healthier (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/never-too-late-to-start-eating-healthier/)

The Provegetarian Score reminds me of the animal to vegetable protein ratio in Prostate Cancer Survival: The A/V Ratio (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/prostate-cancer-survival-the-av-ratio/). My favorite dietary quality index is the one in Calculate Your Healthy Eating Score (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/calculate-your-healthy-eating-score/). How do you rate? Even the healthiest among us may be able to continue to push the envelope.

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/do-flexitarians-live-longer and he'll try to answer it!
