GBThe information presented stays current with the latest published studies The information presented is based on current science. While the primary conclusion is that a vegan promotes better overall health and can aid in preventing illness. As new studies arise, recommendations can and have changed, even if they contradict prior advice. This willingness to avoid a dogmatic approach is helpful in our quest for better health.

NZCherry-picked information and misrepresented studies Dr Greger has an inherently religious or cult-like bias to a certain diet. He has a tendency to completely dismiss other diets (eg. FODMAP), despite there being a lot of sound scientific information behind them. While he has some good information and is very good at communicating it, he selectively ignores information which does not back up his viewpoint. His website should really be called ‘cherry-picked nutrition facts’. Greger's overall M.O. is that he uses lots of observational studies (which are considered low-tier evidence because of the correlation/causation problem) linking an animal food to a health problem, but if the same studies find a positive or neutral result for a different animal food, or a negative result for a plant food, he just ignores it. When diets low in animal foods produce health, he also uses these findings to shill for veganism (no animal foods at all), while using the nebulous weasel word "plant-based." Anyone following his diet must take daily B12 supplements to stay healthy - the reason being, he has removed every single natural source of B12. If you need to take nutritional supplements, then your diet is deficient in the nutrients it needs to survive and thrive - pretty simple. There are plenty of other safer diets out there that have been well researched that will improve your health. Talk with your dietician or nutritionist. His advice should be taken with a grain of salt and a good dose of caution.

SGHalf-truths at best Mostly unsubstantiated claims, intent on misleading people by stating half-truths and omissions of important information.

GBWonderful source of evidence-based information on nutrition This is a not-for-profit website created by Dr. Michael Greger, a medical physician. He reviews thousands of articles on human nutrition published in medical journals and puts the information into usable form. It is amazing how much misinformation and propaganda there is in the media about human nutrition. This is the only website I feel I can trust 100%. Dr. Greger does favor a vegan diet, so you can see that bias in many of his videos, but he backs up what he says with scientific studies from medical journals.
