Dr Greger and Dr McDougall

I posted a similar question on the Health and Nutrition section of this forum. Dr Greger and Dr McDougall seem to be colleauges so I'm wondering how Dr Greger can site significant nutrition studies that show no reduction in mortality, increased dementia and increased hip fracture rates for people on vegan diets, with no explanation from Dr McDougall. I'm referring to this talk:

Many people on this forum have heard it and their explanation is that the people in the study probably ate a bad vegan diet. It also seems like people can't find the studies that Dr Greger refers to, even though he calls them the biggest and most comprehensive studies ever done.
This is not a criticism I'm just confused by such condradictory statements.
I think the work of Dr McDougall is among the most important things happening on this planet to make the world a better place. People like myself rely on the information because my doctor, friends and the majority of Americans are oblivious to this life saving information.
