​@@lemonyskunkketts7781 yep, it's hard to trust even the ingredients list these days. A few years ago, I saw something called "durum flour" in a cracker (or some other baked good that uses flour); I looked it up and it turns out that it's a variant of common whole wheat, yet nowhere on the label did it say it contained wheat.
I've seen similar for soy; a common one is 'vegetable oil', which is usually a mix of canola/another oil along with soybean oil, but it's only called vegetable oil, and nowhere does it say it's made with soy, so unless you call the company and ask which kind of vegetable oil they use, you could be eating it without knowing. Unless you find 100% canola or vegetable oil that is specified to be made with only canola/some other oil that is not soy, chances are it has soy.
It's wild how brands can get away with this, but I'm assuming there's some amount of soy/wheat/nuts/other they can use before being legally required to specify it's being used, just like how there's an amount of insect parts allowed in food before it's regulated lol. I get that bug parts are more of an... "unavoidable defect" and aren't really as dangerous as an unnamed common food allergy, but still xD

Dr. Berg, ever since I have been following your program, I noticed that I no longer suffer from inflammation of the joints or arthritis of the hands (which I have been suffering from for a long time.) For the past two weeks, I've been manually digging and moving dirt with a shovel, daily, for hours. And, although, i am tired at the end of the day, my joints aren't achy. Your keto IF program enabled me to work just as hard, if not harder than before, but without all the soreness that usually comes with it. I started IF on April 1st, and started healthy keto, June 1st. I have gone from 139 lbs., back in April 2022, to under 125, today. I was addicted to eating and I learned that not eating so much, especially all those bad things, really makes a difference! I am always telling people to check out your videos because it worked for me, for certain. I commented to a UA-camr in Korea, to check you out because she has been struggling with her weight, and although she didn't reply, she mentioned in her last video, that she is watching you.

Glad you brought this up, Dr. Berg. But this is far from new. Because I'm a vegetarian, I've know about the toxicity in the soy bean and its products for over 30 years. And I've avoided it since. I don't even eat those so called meat substitutes made for vegetarians out of soy products. The fact that it takes such a long time to cook the soya bean through (at least 2 and half hours) is indicative of its level of toxicity. This is the main reason the Asian health methods advise against it. I'm very happy you reminded us of this matter though, and to give so much pertinent information as well. Many thanks.

Fasting is good, but without REAL nutrition body cannot repair/heal and maintain itself. Look into juicing (vegetables because of low sugar content, not fruits). There are many anti-cancer properties in certain vegetables and herbs if one can handle.
Onions, garlic, chili, turmeric, black pepper, ginger, green teas etc all anti-cancer. Carrot juice is high in vitamins A, but also has some sugar in it. Therefore recommend you don't drink alot of juice all at once. Instead 1 cup you can divide breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Idea is because you consume such low calories, you still get benefits from "fasting", BUT giving body nutrients to HEAL.
Look up "Gerson therapy".

I am also a lover from mid 19th century to early 20th century Spanish guitar music and especially Julian Arcas and Francisco Tarrega.
For years I have supervised ceremonies and my preparation for them was 4 days of water fasting, the fourth day was the day of the ceremony held in the night.
I did this every two weeks and over time I continued to fast after the ceremony, for a total of 5, 7, 9, 11 days until I could fast from ceremony to ceremony.
In the end, I managed to fast for 25 days.
And yet I noticed that the fasting did not give me a long-lasting balance, it disrupts my life / eating rhythm.
I believe that you can only develop from off balance without skipping anything.
Of course I also did meditation and yoga for years and there were periods when I meditated 5 hours a day.
Meditation gives you balance but it also causes you to skip something, namely the reason why there is no balance in your daily life without meditation.
I always did food pretty well, I wasn't a food guerrilla but saw it more as a process to improvement.
Now I have been eating 2 times a day at 11 and 17 o'clock for a year and even though I ran into everything at the beginning, especially the sugar addiction, I am now really starting to experience the deep balance in my daily life and have found out that it does not matter where you stand in your life process, it is mainly about acceptance of what is there before you can find the new balance.

The reason soy cannot be a staple food is that even if it is fermented, goitrogens cause thyroid function to drop, metabolism to slow down dramatically, and you stop sweating altogether. Another reason is that excessive intake of omega-6 causes inflammation throughout the body.
Both of these can cause hair loss.

I am a foodie, amateur chef, bartender, and aspiring restaurateur. Curious to know what interest there is out there for a restaurant that incorporates all of Dr. Berg's recommended ingredients and lack there-of for a menu. I love the idea of eating at home for a majority of my meals, however, there are times when a restaurant setting is ideal. Looking to possibly open the healthiest restaurant in the history of restaurants. Thanks Dr. Berg for your inspiration!

[@experimenthealthyketo83]

Cool. I’m looking forward to promote such restaurant!! As a traveler, I definitely would be looking for such a place to go to. And it’s almost impossible to find! I’m leaning towards carnivore at this time.

I deal with hypothyroidism. I can't eat soy. I debunk your video, research. Do you have any Journals, peer reviews, or any kind of backup to show to the audience. On Thyroiditis?!

[@badkitty1285]

Well I’m confused. Dr. William Li-a cancer researcher (TedTalks & UA-cam & author of “Eat to Beat Disease”) talks about non-GMO soy in preventing cancer & so does Dr. Kristi Funk, breast cancer surgeon ( “Breasts, The Owner’s Manual”). Funk had a very good explanation as to how non-GMO prevents the occurrence & reoccurrence & death from cancer. It would be enlightening if you invited them both on your program.

[@AnonymousAlien2099]

Stay away from soy.

[@eddiepugmire447]

Can you go over the difference between soy in Asian foods (generally fermented) and western soy usage? You didn’t really touch on it in this video and you alluded that fermented soy is generally okay assuming it’s non GMO and the ingredients are fine. Thank you!

[@chelseaoates610]

Yes I want to know more about this since Asians have been eating soy products like tofu, tempeh, natto, soy milk for like thousands of years. So is it fine only if organic then?

[@jacquelinedrummond7598]

Good question. I Started eating soybeans because I read it was good for women of a certain age. I want to know his thoughts on soybeans.

[@sharipeters6166]

Indeed. Is soy yogurt “fermented “? Says on the package but to me doesn’t sound like miso natto etc

[@janechu]

Asian soy is non-GMO. And it’s not all fermented, although we do eat a lot of fermented soy. We eat soy like westerners eat cheese. We create many different varieties out of soy beyond just tofu and soy milk. We even use them for desserts. And I’m not sure why Dr. Berg doesn’t think we drink as much soy milk. We drink tons of soy milk, including black soy milk. While everyone in elementary school was sipping on their highly processed, sugar infested, artificial fruit juices, I was sipping on soy milk growing up. East Asians have been eating soy for decades and lived without a lot of health issues westerners had. My belief is the soy in the US is just bad. So I personally don’t touch US soy as much as I can avoid it, including tofu, in the US unless it’s grown on a Korean or Japanese farm or factory in the US. Yes they do have those.
I’m also a believer that some of it has to do with your race/culture/genetics. Many Europeans don’t have lactose intolerance genetically, but many Asians do. So I think these blanket statements of soy is bad have only been tested on white westerners and mostly men and then all doctors and specialists assume it applies to everyone of all races.
So please use discernment. I hear the same thing about legumes and grains, but rice is a grain and we’ve been eating that in Asia for generations, sometimes with nothing else to eat, and we have lived without as many health issues. Same with legumes. When varieties of legumes are added to rice, we consider it to be healthier. Perhaps it’s inflammatory for white people, but not for the majority of Asians. Or maybe it’s US legumes that are bad.
Again, please use discernment. Every “body” is different. 😊

I went a really long time without having soy with only a few minor moments where I accidentally had it ! And recently I found a restaurant called fresh kitchen which I really liked going to because I got tired of making my own food alot and I haven't really gone out to restaurant that much in years, so after months of eating at this place , I just now realized that some of there products have soy in it which makes Total sense because I always felt like I had Flem or mucus after eating there sometimes and so I recently tried to take out those items from the food I was getting and I definitely noticed a difference and don't have that same reaction ! It's sad that so many good things can be ruined by just one ingredient ! Other wise the food would have been totally fine for me to eat !

Our family has slowly switched from vegetable oils to butter, coconut oil, bacon fat, and lard. It makes the food taste better. Biscuits are flakier and fluffier with coconut oil. I use butter to saute my veggies. Bacon fat to grease the pan for pan frying (you don't drown the food, you just have enough fat to keep it from burning).

Hello Dr Berg. Can you comment on rice please? I am following your keto advice however a Chinese friend on mine remarked that Chinese people in China eat a lot of rice (carbs) but are not fat. I checked the stats and obesity rate in China is 7% compared to 28% in UK and 42% in USA. So how come Chinese eat a diet of carbs and so not get fat? Indeed I understand that rice is a "fast carb" that should spike insulin more. Thanks.

[@experimenthealthyketo83]

He answers this in at least one video. Their obesity definitely increases. I sometimes checked this and didn’t see rice mixed with fats, which could be a factor as to why they have less obesity. But he gave more detail.

My 9 month old has a milk allergy so has to have soy formula sometimes. I still breastfeed him and will continue to do so until he no longer needs milk but as I work 3 days a week and cant always pump enough milk, he sometimes needs a top up of formula when im not with him. This video puts me off giving him soy formula! I tried a rice formula but he hated it 😔

35 years of chronic acne cleared up within days of switching to lard. (From tallow/dripping/goose/duck fat/coconut/olive oil/butter and ghee). I use it as moisturiser and for sunbathing. My skin has never been so good. A patch of sun damaged skin on my cheek has completely gone, along with crows feet lines around my eyes. Pigs are the closest in composition to humans of any animals (they use pig hearts in humans). I think lard is probably the closest thing to human fat that you can get and contains vitamin D and E.
My gran used lard her whole life and lived to 105.

I went to a commercial keto company several years ago so I would be supervised. They had me drink five protein drinks a day. That is where they made their money. I ended up massively bleeding and having to get a hysterectomy at 59, nine years after going through menopause. I didn't realize until years later when I watched your videos that the massive soy in those protein drinks was the cause. Also, I had to be tested for scirrosis even though I don't drink. I got a Freestyle Libre from my endocrinologist. I started taking supplements for my liver. One worked great, but one made my blood sugar crash. When I looked at the ingredients, the first ingredient was soy. Everything fell into place. Soy has been poisoning me all my life. I tried to eat healthy, but things were getting worse instead of better. That's why.

[@mbatista118]

Im allergic to soy. I realized about 5 years ago. I would feel pain in some parts of my body. Constipation was somewhat normal for me. The first time i realized was when i ate cereal with soymilk for the first time in my life. Was curious. That's when i started having breathing problems feeling my throat area swell up. I felt normal the next day but that definately helped me understand that it had to be the soy. Eventually i went to a physician and got some bloodwork done to check my well being. I asked the physician if i was allergic to soy and they said no. I thought to myself maybe they didnt really check for an allergy like that when they did the bloodwork, because i knew for a fact that im allergic to soy. But why lie? So that made me lose alot of trust for these so-called "professionals". But i trust you Dr. Eric Berg 😁👍🏼
