What are your opinions on Dr. Greger?

He’s vegan which upsets a lot of people, but I’m genuinely curious how many people trust or distrust him.

Answer

Greger is a vegan first and a doctor second.

My usual example is that Greger asserts that type II diabetes can be cured by vegan diets. His references are a number of old studies, but he totally ignores that there are many type II diabetes studies that use WFPB diets and do not achieve that. Those studies significantly underperform the approaches that do work on type II (gastric bypass, very-low-calorie (<800 cal/day) diet, keto, and probably fasting).

And for those who plan on downvoting me, the standard those approaches that work is:

HbA1c less than 6.5% with a bonus for reducing diabetes medication at the same time.

Find me a vegan / WFPB diet study that achieves that, and we’ll talk.
