Wow, this thread is picking up steam after the OP vowed to leave.
I haven't watched the video, but the doctor's claims (as documented in a wall of text) are a reasonable synthesis of some research the doctor knows, and I bet there are some truths in there. There is also likely a lot of false conclusions.
Every semi-expert thinks they can read the current literature, or take the anecdotes of their experience and synthesize a Grand Unified understanding of their field of interest. They are almost always wrong. Not wrong in all parts, but wrong in their synthesis. They miss important facts, or are wrong about some things.
I have one example from a nutritional supplement MLM that my wife was involved with. The doctor who helped found the company was propped up as some genius on the nutrition of cells. He understood how to make cells live longer in a Petri dish. The idea was that if you gave the body the same nutritional supplements, people would either live longer, or at least live healthier lives.
They tried to create a story using some studies into anti-oxidants, but in the end it was quackery. More studies show anti-oxidants make people live shorter lives, than showed they live longer ones. At best it is neutral, but there is real evidence that while some anti-oxidants help with premature cell aging, supplemented anti-oxidants increases cancer risk.
The body is a complicated thing. Probably few of us are living the ideal lifestyle or eating the ideal way, but in the end, we have to find what works for us. When in doubt, use moderation.
