Many thanks once again to Plant Chompers for another brilliant video. Please subscribe to watch ALL of his new videos: ua-cam.com/channels/faLzWu44t7TrOMxf5n2dYw.html
I loved your video. But I think you both are right, and I think you both are wrong. You do agree on something. Industrial food sucks. Maybe you could work together and stop treating each other like lepers.
Absolute lunacy. It’s amazing to me that anyone still believes in Charlatans like Ancel Keys (who famously CHERRY PICKED his data) or the fringe religious groups and their insane religious beliefs, over the clear scientific evidence and common sense of thousands of years of tradition. The heart disease issues of the early 20th century were clearly caused by the bizarre acceptance of fake fats from industrial WASTE products-seed oils pressed in a factory and bleached to look like animal fats. And to top it off, your insane beliefs helped kill Steve Jobs. What a nutcase.
I was a vegan for 6 months and it nearly killed me. I did it for health and to save animals. I wish I had known about carnivore before going vegan. I am witness to living a good health from doing standard, vegan, keto and best diet ever which is the carnivore diet. No meds. At all. Been doing it now for 20 years. I just heard about Nina today and have to say she is absolutely correct.
Have Nina show a photo of her heart arteries now so you can see the amount of blockage in 20 years. Thank you for your keto experiment and sacrifice. Because that's the only research Nina is doing on keto.
As a keto "survivor", I believed all of this bogus research. However, it almost killed me -wrecked my gut, gallstones, high blood pressure & cholesterol, fatty liver, and heart issues. After a week stay in the hospital, I went Vegan. 7 months later, I had a clean CT scan!
@@Yourhighnessnona It's hardly surprising given keto is high in saturated fat and has none of the benefits of whole food plants. People aren't dying or on medication because they ate too many whole food plants. WFPB reversed my T2 diabetes and every quarter my bloodwork comes back clean with great numbers in comparison to when I did keto.
@@Yourhighnessnona All the things that OP listed are linked with high meat diets. If you don't believe it, then you haven't read the scientific studies.
Exactly the same for me. I was one of the idiots believing the keto hype many years ago. After 2,5 years, I got many many health deteriorations. Ending up in hospital the doctors told me to immediately stop the keto crap and go Mediterranean and drastically reduce animal products. This saved my life. Keto and animal products turned a healthy man into a sick patient. Going plant based saved him again.
You can be vegan and still accomplish a ketogenic diet btw. Also, the correct way to do a ketogenic diet is plant based with moderate protein. People get too wrapped up with macros etc. I think vegans believe a ketogenic diet is just bacon, butter and ribeyes haha. When you cutout the bullshit ie the processed carbs and industrial seed oils in either a vegan diet or keto diet you will thrive. You genetic makeup and gut biodiversity will guide you to what diet feels best.
Thank you for sharing. We need to continue to explore and learn more about nutrition and health. 7 years vegan, lost my health.mental and physical. Nutrition is complex...It is crazy but going carnivore has healed me fully.
I share your sentiments exactly. Vegan destroyed my health. Meat based with raw dairy and fruits have me looking and feeling great, including hair and muscle tissue growth.
@@Cyberbronco right? i am so shocked that all i believed to be true on food is actually wrong. for years i had bread, pasta and veggies....!!!! what happened to you?
@@sevbuyse I started with a Macrobiotic diet and then went more mainstream vegetarian: fruits, nuts vegetables, no refined flour or sugar. My skin almost fell off. I developed allergies to everything. After years of visiting doctors I detoxed with nothing but red meat and slowly reintroduced fruits to my diet. My body looks more muscular and healthy than ever before in my life. I hardly recognize myself in the mirror. Sometimes I stare :)
For heaven's sake - do your research. Nina Teicholz's experience and research makes her a trusted resource - this isn't about the on-going "battle" between vegans and those who include meat protein in their chosen way of eating - it's about getting the BEST nutrition and health for your body. People are free to choose whatever lifestyle they want that makes them feel their best. I have poured literally thousands of hours into research and for me, I chose Keto and transitioned into more of a Carnivore way of eating. ALL of my health markers have vastly improved over the last year. I am 66 y.o, - along the way, my way of eating has completely reversed T2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, psoriasis, skin, tons of energy, clear thinking and lost 70 lbs. I feel better than I have in 20 years. Everyone is different - choose what works for you, and let others do the same.
I love your comment and do agree that we still know little about nutrition, but respectfully, your experience is anecdotal and we must as a species both follow the scientific data, challenge and improve on it where possible and continue to do more of it. Glad your health has improved as a result of your changes, that’s wonderful!
Hahaha, I'm glad to hear you say this because I almost cut it at the last minute as I fretted over the length of this episode. I cut several humorous clips if they didn't make a crucial point. 🤔
I just wanted to squeeze that unnatural mound through my fingers and then throw it against the wall!! 😡 What chemical trash most of us ( in the long past - hopefully ) have put into our bodies. 🤢
The New York Times has an article which tells of a Harvard study done back in the 50s or 60s condemning saturated fats which was paid for by the Sugar Industry which essentially blamed high cholesterol on fats instead of the real culprit sugar. Studies like that along with Ancel Keys's misinformation (7 countries study) led to the low fat hypothesis which for the last 60 years has caused Type 2 diabetes to reach epic proportions in this country and around the world. Have you noticed the obesity problem? Just look around you. It's sugar not fats. The average American eats 150lbs of sugar a year. Back in the early 1800s it was 2lbs. We've got diseases now that were unheard of before the low fat craze.
So in the last 60 years no studies were done into fat and sugar? The science is clear. High fat and high sugar are both unhealthy. Whole carbs and fiber make the difference.
The funniest thing is how these ilk seem to think that Americans actually followed the dietary guidelines. The populace never has, at any point. Most Americans' concept of a "healthy low fat diet" even during the height of the low fat craze was "low fat" yogurt, "low fat" cottage cheese, and skinless chicken. What regular Jane/Joe American do you ever knew who followed the real guidelines of whole, unprocessed grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables making up the bulk of the plate?
I admire the Canadian food guide but I notice they say they are in fourth place among the Canadian public when it comes to influence. Friends, social media, and books are ahead of them.
Except that the researchers used actual cash register receipts - if you paid for it, most likely you're going to eat what you bought. Meat, 1 green vegetable and a starch formed the majority of meals. Sandwiches, with lettuce, tomato, onion were also popular.
Well if you watched Nina's talk instead of just listening to this guy cherry pick arguments against her, you'd see she presents evidence that people did follow the dietary guidelines. Extremely well.
Cholesterol levels mean nothing. Examples: 1: chimpanzees in captivity are fed a 100% vegetarian diets (unlike their natural diet) and yet their cholesterol levels are significantly higher than ours yet they do not develop clogged arteries. 2. The Japanese have a slighter higher average cholesterol levels than Americans, yes suffer much less CVD. 3. The lower your cholesterol level, the sooner you die of all causes. 4. All the 3 things above are irrefutable facts.
Cholesterol is extremely highly regulated in our body like blood sugar, but unlike blood sugar, you can’t eat too much cholesterol, because it would be too much for your stomach too. It’s too much foods if you are ti overeat cholesterol.
dumb message primates do not eat meat outside of rare documented cases. No one asks a gorilla where they get their protein. Eating dead things leads to premature death. Animal consumption is and has been the leading cause of disease and pandemics for hundreds of years as much as people want to deny the facts! DUH! Fruit has enough protein to sustain humans
There are people whose lives have been saved by adopting a keto diet. Wish you tubers wouldn't spend time bad mouthing something that truly helps others.
Had someone challenged me 2-3 years ago, I would have eaten that in under an hour. Now, make a Junk Vegan version of that, and MAYBE I'll try a piece... For science. (Love your content, your Cholesterol Confusion video on Ken Berry those years ago gave me the kick to become 100% WFPB.)
While hilarious, it was unnecessary to give money to these horrible industries. A pizza with dairy cheese and pepperoni? as well as cheese burger from mc donalds. This supports the most horrific industries on our planet for a 5 second bit. Could've used stock footage.
Fuck Ancel Keys. The reason heart disease declined was smoking cessation, and cleaner air in factories and outdoors. Had nothing to do with trading meat for pasta.
To be fair, Minger did - many years later - go on to defend Ancel Keys work and conceded that the trend regarding saturated fat and heart disease has merit. She’s even done favourable reviews of a certain plant based doctor’s book. Naturally, something changed for her after the Paleo/Low Carb hype of 2010 died down.
She probably started having health problems and (as happened to me) maybe got tired of sitting on the toilet straining for hours. She went from raw vegan to being a meat enthusiast. I've been vegan for 12 years now and trying to do all-raw is a very bad idea (imo).
@@terryjackson9395 in my case I recover myself from very bad health and extremely low weight for my frame doing almost 100% raw high fruit and greens diet. The problem is the cost of such a diet (for a constant supply of quality greens and fruits in enough variety an quantity), and that is lacking enough proteins in the long run. Also you start to desire more variety, as starches and legumes. But I tracked all my daily food in chronometer, and all was fine. Except D and B12 of course.
That;s a truly crazy claim. They seem to push the beliefs of cranks and charlatans while trying to explain away the actual scientific evidence by alleging weird global conspiracies. it's a movement based on. to put it kindly, falsehoods ... some of which are detailed in this video above.
As a former Mormon who grew up in Mormon communities, I can tell you that as a culture, they almost entirely ignore the passages against meat. The typical Mormon diet is the typical American diet.
@@Viva-Longevity Utah, Idaho, and Colorado. When I was a teenager in Idaho and Utah, my family and neighbors treated me like a pariah for eating a vegetarian diet.
I just moved to Utah last year; I'm not officially a member, but I go to church and activities in multiple different wards. I am the only vegetarian that I know of, and it's sad when everyone talks of committing to being healthy but their diets lack.
I live in Utah and work in cardiac rehab. I can tell you that most of my patients are Mormon and most eat the standard American diet. Lots of sugary soda too. Fiz and Swig are very popular franchises here. Funeral potatoes full of cheese and fry sauce are very popular. They even add sour cream to guacamole 🥑 to make it “creamy”.
I am a bit puzzled as to why you glossed over the iniut carnivores and did not mention the ability ketogenic diet to reverse type 2 diabetes. Everything else seemed fair enough.
THANK YOU for adding this comment - I reversed my T2 Diabetes following first a well formulated Ketogenic diet, then transitioning to Carnivore, which has enabled me to never be hungry, and yet maintain my exact weight (for maintenance) for the last few months.
I wouldn't say that the Inuits are carnivores. Growing up on the traditional Alaska Native Inupiaq diet comprised mostly of wild game, fish, berries, roots, greens, tubers, and plants I would consider them more or less omnivores. They suffer from a lot of heart disease and diabetes when switching to the American diet, which I why I switched to WFPB last month.
These videos have tons of potential, but I have a hard time holding on to the string of reasoning, and sometimes I don't know where we're at. I was wondering why and I think I just found out: the narrator proceeds to rebuke certain arguments before their content was properly laid out for us and made clear. For example, he says that there is so much misinformation about arteries being clogged because of fat, then he puts up a clip of some guy talking about the arteries of bunnies getting clogged, we have no idea where he's coming from until the very last sentence when he says "but they're vegetarians", then we barely have a second to link the dots and figure out that that speaker thought the bunny study was useless and that fat wasn't an issue for humans because they would be meant for a different diet, but right away the narrator starts talking to us about studies made on animals that aren't vegetarian. I didn't have time to process what was said a second ago and now you're bombarding me with a bunch of new stuff I don't know what is relevant to. To maximize clarity this is a tip from old school rhetoricians: tell us what you're going to say, then say what you have to say, then tell us what you have just said.
I'm with Dr N, at this point we know what a healthy human diet looks like; but the people casting doubt have $ to keep us buying the lies. No one's getting rich selling sweet potatoes..
Not really. I would prefer to believe that eating animals is good for you, and doesn’t cause animal suffering. I love the taste of Buffalo wings, fried chicken and a good steak. But the truth is these foods made me sick and feel old and tired. What I prefer to believe differs from reality. Eating fruits and veggies makes me feel energized. Facts, not beliefs.
Mark Twain (his real name was Samuel Clemens) was a better thinker than most people today, and he wasn't a vegetarian. I think those factors are closely correlated.
John Buscher 1 second ago Sorry I have to disagree as I am living proof you are wrong. I had dangerously high BP/ high cholesterol and a fatty liver and was clinically obese. I have lost 63lbs. in 6 months doing a loose keto diet (10% whole grains/carbs/30% meats and 60% plants) + intermittent fasting (restricted eating 16/8) and only cooked in sat fats (butter/lard/olive oil) and eggs were a regular staple. I also had moderate daily (30 min.) exercise daily,. I had a full blood workup done 5 days ago and my cholesterol is good, BP is normal (yay off BP meds!) and fatty liver is gone. My GP is dumbfounded because what I was doing went against prevailing medical advise. I didn't watch UA-camrs and just blindly follow their advice and I went out and read research. (I am a researcher by trade) The PROBLEM with Ancel Keys was that his study had a lot of statistical problems in it and could not show causation only correlation. I say the same about Teicholz's graph showing the correlation between the rise of vegetable oils and obesity, it does not show causality. The bottom line is we need better scientific studies on the effects of diet on health. I will leave you with this simple thought, our bodies did not evolved to eat as many refined/simple carbs and refined vegetable oils as we do today. Our ancestors most likely ate lots of veggies, eggs, meat, and some fruits when in season and primarily animal/fish (saturated/monosaturated) fats.
"Is Nina Teicholz right about saturated fat" - YES "is she a lobbyist for the meat industry" - NO Is this channel a lobbyist for the big food, big pharma and big fertilizers industries? - YES!
No she's an opportunist making a buck out of telling people what they want to hear and scoring a decent payday from the beef industry. Your last line is utter bullshit too.
If you want to make pigs fat feed them bread... same thing happens to humans.... Every single vegan I have ever know always turns to meat eventually...
I would love to see a vegan/prepper crossover episode. It seems to me that prepper people are all saving crisco and ultra processed high sodium foods and canned meats along with their beans and white rice. What’s the point of surviving the end of the world if your just going to kill yourself with spam and KD?
@@ChristiePriem Yes, short term, supplements could work. Though they usually expire within a few years. There are potential alternatives such as Chlorella, Duckweed, Seaweed and fermented foods. But they would need to be scientifically tested.
@@jys365 you could prep supplements of B12, prep B12 fortified food and Nutritional Yeast. Lots of great freeze dried vegan options can be found at backpacking stores and don’t forget that you can also buy freeze dried #10 cans of vegetables, fruits, grains etc.
After 10 years of paleo I had to go WFPB no oil low salt to get rid of BP pills and it took me about 15 moths. Living beings do not have to know what to eat they usually eat what they can which is what they are adapted to (probably takes a lot of time). I hope that this time I got the right way of eating. I read a lot from Denise in the early days of my paleo period.
Same exact thing here. Was grass fed paleo for for over 8 years. Fell for Atkins in late 90s and then was huge fan of Mark Sisson. At the end I had so many problems it was getting scary (gout, kidney stones, arterial plaque, Low-T, BP around 175, ridiculous constipation, etc). . The human body is very resilient seems like it can go quite smoothly with incorrect eating before things finally start to implode. 12 years later now and my best advice is to ignore that crap completely and fully 100% EMBRACE whole starches. Since they cook very easily in a rice cooker I eat lentils with a little rice mixed in every day. I gorge myself on cooked plaintains, oatmeal, baked potatoes and eat no fat during the day (half an avocado as a final snack of the day). Use cronometer for a few days just to get your levels. I eat 1 carrot per day for vitamin A and I happen to like nutritional yeast so I eat 2 tbsp per day of that (which happens to provide all the B vitamins... including B12, so I don't supplement any of that). Doing this, the only thing I do supplement is small amounts of calcium and magnesium, which were lacking in my meat diet also.
@@terryjackson9395 Great post you made. I have avoided manufactured food for decades which basically puts me on a sloppy Atkins or Keto diet only by coincidence. I watched 2 friends loose massive weight and get rid of Diabetes meds on strict Keto. But those friends came off a diet of eating refined everything. I like your concept of 100% whole starches because I always considered those good foods. What I did learn from Nina Teicholz is the toxicity of having constant insulin in our blood stream and the influence of the manufactured seed seed oil companies on our diets. The poisons are the seed oils, sugars and politicians. I might also add that sitting on ones ass in front of a computer or TV is a "poison" too. I am strict Keto right now to meet some goals but will work "Whole Starches" back into my diet and reduce the amount meat protein. People get stupidly polarized about diets and miss the bigger picture. The only thing that does not deserve consideration are refined foods and sugars.
As a thinking person with no lobbying group to support me I'll make a comment. I was pre-diabetic, fatty liver, high cholesterol, etc at 47'. I went Keto-Mediterranean-Paleo based on the idea that it would have to be natural, and not the marketed scam products. Also, I did not go extreme with meat, vegetables, or fat. I simply adjusted my diet in a few particular ways. 1. No FAKE FOODS: Never buy food that is processed (can/bag/box, plastic), because they add in preservatives (mostly sugar and other chemicals) this includes ALL forms of grocery store bread(s). Imagine what preservatives do to bacteria, now think of your gut. 2. Eat only home cooked meals - ORGANIC WHEN AFFORDABLE - seasoned to taste. 3. No Sugar, except what is naturally occurring in nature. 4. Natural Organic Grains sparingly (virtually none) Vegetables have fiber and carbs. 5. Vegetables and fruits with low sugar; no root veggies (potatoes), no bananas etc.. 6. Protein in moderation; and in non processed forms. 7. Natural Fats only, no processed fats (which would be seed or vegetable oils, fake butter). 8. Drink enough healthy water, purified, filtered, spring, etc.. minimal caffeine. 9. Moderate exercise; yoga, walking, swimming, Pilates. 10. Fast - if done right it is very good for you. 11. When visiting friends/family or celebrating eat drink be merry (with moderation). CONCLUSION: I listened to both sides. You both have things right. So I did what worked. I got healthy, and saved $$$.$$. After a year my doctor said I had the heart of a 25 year old and my blood work was perfect on ALL markers. Even the evidence of my Hepatitis A was gone. But Carnivores and Vegans are bad when it comes to actually being helpful instead of proving how right they are. Sounds like two political parties I've heard of.
@@israelsolis1706 Bacon & 1 Egg mixed with greens and other veggies usually around 2pm. If I snack it's usually dried fruit and nuts. Dinner (before 8pm) is about 3 to 5 oz. of meat with more veggies or I'll make a smoothie. I try to incorporate enough fats (max 4 oz. lard, butter, coconut, or olive oil) into the day. Seasoned everything to taste. Coffee in the morning, water throughout the day. No sugars or starchy vegetables or grains. I also consider alcohol carbs so not much of that. At birthday parties or special events the rules go out the door, but I keep things in moderation. I also take vitamins sometimes but no more than 1 or two days thorough the week. I fast one day a week minimal, but do 3 days in a row every now and again. Next year I'm going to try two 7 day fast in the year. Yoga, Pilates, walking, Weights a couple of times a week. I wish I could still play sports but I dislocated my shoulder last year playing tennis. So working on maybe running again. My daughter and sons are teaching me to freeze fresh veggies and to pickle ferment things for salads and snacks. I'm also teaching myself how to make bread without grains/sugar. I limit my grocery budget to $200.00 a month so buying frozen and not fresh was a quick fix. The nutrition from fresh organic veggies was out of the question till they showed me how to preserve them. I've gotten my prep time for the month down to one day where I just take care of the food (grocery list/shopping/cooking etc.). Then auto pilot the rest of the month.
@@simplekindofman6265 I glad you found what works for you. I think you game changer is leaving out the processed foods. They led me to the operating table and a heart bypass. Im doing well now and I adopted a similar mentality and diet for about 5 years after my operation. Last year I dropped the meat and diary....I felt I didn't need it or was it critical to have in my diet and I was also in a space to do it. Having said that, I would have been confident that I wouldn't have ruined my health either if I continued on to eat meat in the moderate amounts that you do. I like that you work on your mind and body too with yoga, cardio and weights. Its another key component in healthy living that a high volume of people don't participate in. You also made a wise move not going back to tennis. If you are over 40, you have to pick your activity wisely......some activies are more injurious than others and injury can set us back. Keep up the good work.
So rare to see someone do seriously solid debunking and still be a true gentleman, and a wonderful person at heart too! Bravo for showing us how to handle bad science!
The Meat and Keto people are a Joke I’ve been WFPB for 38 year’s I can’t keep a regular family Physician cause I’m out living them I’m 55 years old now
No, it isn't. The hamburger and pizza are used mostly by men, esp. college kids, but chicken, smoothies and salads were almost the sum of what girls eat.
She's not a nutritionist She's an investigative journalist who has exposed the bad science of the Low Fat Hypothesis that's killing the American public if not many other countries. Diabetes is an epidemic in China, India, Indonesia and U.S. Ever since low fat diets were promulgated.
@@enny7617 she was a vegetarian eating tons of MnMs and wondering why she got fat and miserable. That's not very smart or she just found a new business by spreading false information about how great saturated fats are. She is quite lonely there as there is not one single study, proof or other source for her toxic "fat is great" statements other than her fabricated and fragmented presentations.
I really really tried to listen.. But I couldn't take it longer than ten minutes. This gentleman is preaching a religion for his believers, and that's fine. Don't think there's a lot of research behind it.. Nina researched the hell out of it, and for some her message hurts. Do your own research, and don't follow blindly.. Probably a whole food, plant based diet is fine, but in the end you may miss a lot of nutrients, vitamins and minerals (the right, complete mix of amino acids, B12, K2, D3, Zinc, Iodine). Nutrient density is much lower in a vegan or even vegetarian diet than in omnivore or carnivore. When you women want to become pregnant, take at least B12 and Iodine as a supplement, your child will benefit from it. Again, also search outside your bubble... 🔦
@Espian Mashias because human beings are easily brainwashed.ancel keys before he died finally admitted the saturated fats and cholesterol do not cause heart disease and admitted he was wrong
The low-carb debunking of Ancel Keys has already been debunked. See the 2017 whitepaper: "Ancel Keys and the Seven Countries Study: An Evidence-based Response to Revisionist Histories" .
Eastern Orthodox fast from various animal products as well as oil, 240 days per year, including every Weds and Friday. She is obviously unaware of this.
It's funny, Bodi has never been exposed to any food on that pyramid (except broccoli, which he ignores like most people), but while I was making the pyramid it had his intense attention 100%.
Interesting to hear people making a case for plant-based by slamming the meat-based community. I'm not bias, I just pay attention to the science 1st, then evaluate through my experience. I can say doing - no-carb - high protein - high fat for 1 month has lead to a fundamental and profound change in both energy and clarity of thinking that I've never experienced before. Can't argue with ketones! - by far a superior fuel source over carb /glucose energy.
I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 8 years ago, and went Plant Based 6 years ago after extensive research. I've never taken any MS medication, and I haven't had an episode in over 5 years. I found Veganism for my health. Then I discovered the atrocities that animal agriculture is doing to the environment and, of course, the animals. I only wish I'd done it sooner. You don't have to be 100% vegan to be healthy, or help save the planet, but ever little bit counts. ❤
That's so inspiring. I've heard of a few people with MS managing to live longer healthier lives by going WFPB. I wish I knew about it sooner, I lost an uncle to MS. ❤
@@DimaRakesah I'm so sorry. I've heard horror stories. 😔 My old boys loss his wife to MS and she was only in her 50's. Statistically most people live a relatively average life span, but are in a wheel chair by 40. I was determined to not end up like that. Thank you for your support! ❤
If it's any consolation, my wife makes sure the neighbors get the food because (a) she hates waste and (b) our neighbors love it because it's their everyday diet. 😋 They think we're total wackadoodles because they are healthy and slender in their 70s and don't deprive themselves of pizza and burgers. 🤷
Oh my goodness! Chris, this one is truly your best video ever. I just finished my 3rd viewing. I can't wait to see the interviews you mentioned that will follow from this. Yes, you had me at Marion Nestle. Also, this is definitely not too long! Not too funny! I'm sure your audience includes all kinds of people including more than a few like me who have patience & time & some nerdy curiosity. I admit, I'm old'ish & retired. Thanks!
Thanks Kate! It's funny, before I publish I fret over the length and toss clips overboard, and after I publish I think, argh, I should have left that clip in.
this was my first video from this presenter and if this is his best i wont be watching any more . it made me rewatch nina teicholz who presents more science and logic than this guy. dr penny has more credibility.
Have seen so many issues with my vegan/vegetarian clients especially with mood disorders. Nina is on point. and I've seen success with clients eating meat instead and not sure what your credentials are either.
I'm not surprised. Interstitial cystitis is another condition affected by acidity, and mine completely went away when I ditched animal products. Not even doing a wfpb diet, just normal vegan.
I love your videos and watch them regularly. If you have time and patience, go outside from the United States and visit a country where western diet is not common or zero. You will find the truth and fact. In some countries people even don’t know what carb, protein and fats are and they eat whatever is sold in local markets. They don’t drink coke and Pepsi four times a day nor they start their morning with redbull and rock star so called energy drinks. They don’t add sugar in every meal. They don’t know what Subway, McDonald’s, Burger King and Pizza shops are. Let me explain how they eat, They drink a few cups of green tea with a little sugar and a few eggs or whatever left from last night. There is no chips, cookies and beverages to snack and at noon time they have vegetables, legumes and meat. They cook them at home and same story for dinner. They are healthy and don’t have most of the current western diseases. In my personal opinion, we need to go back to natural foods and avoid processed foods. The key element for today’s problems is only processed food.
“Whole” foods is just a buzzword, it means nothing, totally vague like another bogus term, the “balanced” diet. Sounds good. Better get yourself a good life insurance policy.
@@Photologistic “Whole food” is not just a buzzword it means not processed, or minimally processed as in cooked. You know, you don’t have to play dumb.
What do you say about CAC scores? So many low carbers who eat high sat fat take the CAC test (calcium in the arteries) and get a low score. My sister did and she has a long history of high blood pressure and high cholesterol. They say this proves their arteries are clear. They eat a lot of vegetables so maybe the anti oxidants prevent artery damage?
I think calcium in the arteries are interesting, indicating inflammation sometime in the past. But generally hard plaques are stable and not dangerous, but hard to reverse. It's the soft plaques that are dangerous and the cat scan does not pick them up. There is a relatively new test that I am going to take that does a good job of mapping soft plaques but it's $2,000 and only available in some metro areas. Those are the ones so correlated with high LDL values in the blood.
All the experiments on animals really makes me sad, we need to stop torturing them : what the hell is the point of feeding rabbits meat?? It this necessary…
Very interesting. A little hard to follow. You blast through very quickly. That's what Nina does. You definitely shine a light on Nina's work. I'll have to look into that more closely. The biggest problem with the food pyramid is how it has encouraged obesity, metabolic syndrome and diabetes. The ADA guidelines for diabetics have been a huge failure. Work by groups like Virta health have proven the efficacy of keto and LCHF diets to reverse diabetes. Can you comment on that?
Could reference any study on lchf diets reversing, not controlling, diabetes? I myself know some anecdotal cases of people reversing diabetes but on vegetarian diet, only cutting carbs at the beginning.
@@anonimogonzalezperez4951 so, I've done a lot more reading and watching and I believe Nina is right on target with her criticism of Keys and the USDA guidelines. It's outright fraud. We're going LCHF and I don't see any way to do that on a vegan diet.
@@debbiecote3993 it is no necessary at all to do low carb, I was extremely ill on a low carb diet and recover my health on a high carb ew vegan diet, Wich it isn't appropriate on the long term, however I was on average 90% raw, with a lot of green smoothies. A low carb diet is a Russian roulette.
@@debbiecote3993 would you kindly share with me what you watched and read? I've on LCHF for about 6 months and I need all the encouragement I can get. And as much science as possible
Why people try to take down the whole food plant based vegan diet is beyond me. The data is IN people. And how Ms. Teicholz can sit up and there and tell bald faced lies is just amazing.
@@davidhutchinson5233 I know it is an unfair question, but I'll ask it anyways. On what food did humanity develop its huge brains and small intestines? (it wasn't the green stuff ...)
Love these videos. Who can take a somewhat dry info and make them interest using humor. After trying keto for over a year and being diagnosed with Leukemia, I went back to my Whole Food Plant Based diet and now use my 100% coconut oil MCT oil for my herbal hair oil infusion. 😁
Angel Keys cherry picked the 7 countries. If you use all the countries he studied there is no significant difference in the results. In other words he cheated.
I was unimpressed with Seth Yoder's rebuttal. I found it very amateurish and it hardly put any dent in Teicholz' arguments. Neither of the charts in Yerushalmy's and Hilleboe's publication supported Keys' thesis like his own curation appeared to, and it's dishonest to allege that Teicholz' omitted the second chart as if to hide something; Keys wasn't trying to show a link between PROTEIN and heart attacks (you had said only a minute earlier that "context is everything"). Keys himself, in love with his own hypothesis, was actually rattled by their publication, not only because it included data points he chose to omit but because it listed several other factors that could equally explain the trend. Keys impugned the reliability of the omitted data points, sure, but it's not as if the data points he chose to run with were without flaws either (something you conveniently don't mention), and so we can't rule out crude selection bias on his part. Although Teicholz mentions nutritional studies as being 'particularly problematic' because of the use of questionnaires (1) that segment you borrowed is from a different presentation in which she was not specifically addressing Keys or his seven countries study and (2) the use of questionnaires does not fully capture the problems with nutritional epidemiological studies in general and public over-reliance on them. You go on to say the 7 country study didn't rely on questionnaires, and instead 'assayed the food the men ate over 7 days'. But if you read Keys' study design very closely, you find that of the 12,770 participants, the food they ate was evaluated for only 499 of them, or 3.9 percent. And there was no consistency among nations as to how the nutritional data were collected: in the United States, a one-day record sample was taken for 1.5 percent of the men, whereas in other nations, data were collected for UP TO seven days. So this isn't even the sort of 'gotcha' you imagine it is. Regarding lent, you say 'I would have been critical had they not collected data during lent. Good science demands it because if you don't collect the data, you don't know if you're missing something.' This is handwavy at best. The problem is how the data is used. Depending on what you're trying to measure, data for the sake of data doesn't necessarily fill in gaps, and can end up skewing things. This is precisely why Keys himself is alleged to have omitted data points in his prior publication, something you're more than happy to give him license to do. Teicholz makes a very valid point about data during lent skewing what's being measured, and it's quite obvious to anyone who has a basic understanding of science and math. Since the foods avoided during Lent are the principal sources of saturated fat, a sampling of the diet during this holiday would obviously undercount that nutrient (duh!). Keys did mention this problem in his monograph but immediately excused it, saying that 'strict adherence [to Lent] did not seem to be common.' He gave no further details and made no mention of the issue at all in his main paper on the Greek diet. Later, when two researchers from the University of Crete tracked down the original directors of the Greek section of the Seven Countries study, they were told that 60 percent of the study population in Crete was fasting during the survey, although 'no attempt was made' in the study to differentiate between fasters and nonfasters. You go on to say 'scientists know there are limitations to large observational studies but they don't throw out a large treasure trove of carefully acquired data.' It's worth noting that it doesn't matter how careful someone is acquiring data. If the data are inherently problematic, the care in acquiring them doesn't magically make them a 'treasure trove'. You say 'they compare them to other studies like clinical trials because each has strengths and weaknesses and they compliment each other.' That's simply not true. Epidemiological studies ought to precipitate clinical trials, depending on how strong a correlation appears to be, but the two kinds of studies generally do NOT symbiotically combine to build a stronger case. The former is impetus to conduct the ladder, and the ladder generally stands or falls on its own merits. The Karelia intervention was not a clinical trial either, and suffers from similar kinds of methodological problems and evidential shortcomings that epidemiological studies do. The Karelia intervention was one of a family of studies using a similar protocol and launched by the WHO in 1974 called the Comprehensive Cardiovascular Community Control Program (CCCP). These other programs were run in Hungary, USSR, Switzerland, Norway, Italy, Yugoslavia and both German republics. Most of these CCCP studies, together with other related studies had generally disappointing findings. Negative correlations like these are less known and largely go unmentioned by figures like Dr Puska, which is hardly surprising. When Teicholz said that “in no case” was the evidence for the consumption of fruits and vegetables in the prevention of cancer “judged to be convincing", it's in support of her assertion that "vegetarian diets generally have not been shown to help people live longer" (context which you omit). On that front, her observation that nothing 'convincing' had surfaced (in the judges estimation) remains valid and relevant. Since she did not assert anything like 'fruits and vegetables definitively DO NOT help prevent cancer' your appeal to the 'probable' and other judgement categories is not any sort of 'gotcha' that you imagine it being. Probably is not demonstrably. And of course she didn't bother mentioning their recommendation to limit consumption of red and processed meat because she's obviously not appealing to them as a broad authority. Rather, you can read it this way: even this cohort of the very sort of people who would recommend limiting meat can't be wholly convinced that fruits and vegetables definitively help prevent cancer. I can't be bothered to dig further into your speculations about her motives and conflicts of interest. Your critique is highly strained and reveals your own vegan bias and intellectual deficiencies, at least on this subject.
Note that the USDA quietly reversed the guidelines on dietary cholesterol. There’s no longer a limit in place. This is a well-put together video, but the author would be wise to include this.
i've lost 65 pounds on a clean keto diet, from 260+ down to 197. my total cholesterol is at a 125, blood glucose at 4.6. i've never felt healthier or better in my life. take it as you will.
But after Ansel Keys 6 and 7 country studies in the USA around the late 70’s obesity suddenly raced awayover the next 5 decades. America got fat. That wasn’t saturated fat.
Thanks for the info. So many of us believe that our "diet" is the right one, and the excuse I keep hearing is that, well, everyone has to eat what is right for them. And some believe that is 70-80% fat and swear by it. Vegans believe that is 75% whole carbohydrates. Dr. Greger has several terrific video's about Keto as well as other choices. The truth is that even neanderthals, inuit, and other groups eating high fat and/or protein have heart problems and atherosclerosis. Inuit also do not live long lives. Lets also understand that some "vegans" do not eat healthfully and do not take B12. There are tons of krappy vegan processed foods. "Ex-vegans" blame the vegan "diet" for their failure, instead of their particular choice of foods (and need to supplement something). peace.
So one side says low quality plant based processed food made them sick and the other side says low quality meat based processed foods make people sick. I see no conflict.
I enjoyed the time, effort and praise for the scientific method that went into this video. Definitely some points to consider. But ultimately, it comes down to what I can observe with my own eyes and my own experience. Everyone I know on a traditional 'American' diet (which included me for the longest time) is extremely unhealthy and overweight - it truly is as bad as your Cheeto-burger-sundae surprise. Truly sad (and shameful that at one point in my life, I used to eat all of that garbage - but not mixed together fortunately) The few that have switched to veganism are no longer overweight, but are still among the more unhealthy people I know. Personally, if you're doing it for purely ethical reasons, more power to you. But you'll never sell me on veganism being actually a healthy (or even a naturally human) way to go. Those that have gone mostly vegetarian and still include seafood and some animal products are fairing pretty well. Those that follow diets more in line with what Nina Teicholz (with whom I wasn't familiar with until now) advocates have been (mostly) the ones with the most dramatic health improvements - including me. After 30+ years of trying different food/diet lifestyles - the Keto-esqe high volume meat, saturated fat with boat loads of omega 3s and animal proteins and removal of almost all grains & seed oils from my diet - well it has lead to the healthiest I have been in decades - with positive bloodwork and heart examinations to boot. So I have to agree with your video - in that the 'science' they and other 'gurus' apply is pretty well, bunk. But like the old adage "Even the blind squirrel finds the occasional nut", I do believe they are onto something truly beneficial. Again, I'm not trying to sell anything or even be like those crazy passionate "YOU MUST KETO NOW" folks. I can only say what has actually worked for me and I'm going to stick with that. So I'll let all the advocates and gurus fight it out on UA-cam. And much to the chagrin of my vegan friends, I'm going to go have some nice grass fed beef and some aged cheese. The wild caught salmon in butter is on the menu for tomorrow.
That was an Easter egg for anyone who made it that far! I had been emailing Henry 3-4 times a day for a couple weeks to ask questions like "what German papers is Nina referencing?" (His reply: "I never figured that out. Ancel only published one paper in German, and that was back in his high altitude physiology days. The paper he published in Voeding wasn't German and it had English annotations.") Anyway, one day he didn't answer me until late and he included that pic in his email, saying he had been out on the lake in his boat with family. I wrote back and cracked "maybe that Mediterranean diet thing actually works!"
I think the main issue in America is that people are very extreme in what they eat and quite frankly in all facets of their life. There is no moderation with you guys and that is the biggest health and mental issue you have as a society.
14% seed oils & 30 minutes of no data just hard slams and snippets. Talk about seed oils more, maybe apply some snippets and captions to how all seed oils effect the human body.
I tried both carnivore and wfpb vegan. My health deteriorated w carnivore and improved w vegan, I'm a very healthy 67, suggestions of 🔝fat, meat diets are dangerous and foolish 😳
A mix of opinions and cherry-picked facts that support them. That is nothing new among youtubers, but this one felt so bad that you lost me as an occasional visitor of your channel. A couple of examples (I could easily pick a dozen more): @13:10 just because Steve Jobs was (at times) an intimidating persona does _not_ make it right for A. Keys to be one too. If you don't understand that there is a difference between business and the field of science ... well then you just don't. Or maybe you're just name-dropping? "Btw I used to work for ..." And what does mr Keys' wife have to do with anything, why do you even mention her? I guess you really are a big fan! @24:06 that is just plain BS! Ok, somebody adviced to avoid sugar in an article in 1700-something, but how many laymen read it? I've _never_ _ever_ heard any health authority saying anything against sugar during late 1900s, except in relation to dental health - and even then it was never about the amount but just the timing, "give your teeth time to recover", etc. I've also seen old commercials on Finnish newspapers (from 1960s I gues) promoting plain sugar by the spoon as a good energy source for kids! That was completely ok back then. @14:20 the 7 countries study looks a lot different if you plot the deaths against estimated carb and/or sugar consumption too. That's been done. Already in 1957 Jacob Yerushalmy and Herman Hilleboe published a thorough paper as critique of the paper of Keys. One can find good references online. Notice also, that human death rate is 100% in the end, and only cardiovascular events are considered in Keys' paper. All cause mortality will look different against same food data. @20:34 The official Finnish "plate model" (as it was called), from 1970s to 90s looked nothing like your pyramid. It was usually printed in a form of pie-chard, and the main staples were grains and low fat milk products, _not_ weggies and fruits - they came 3rd along with meat products. Your pyramid is from around 2010 or later - when even authorities become more carb-avare. One of the (good) things that P. Puska actually did accomplish was that he added more Mg & K into the diet of people in his studies, in a form of enriched salt called "pansuola". Defiency of Mg has many ill effects, as we know now, in cardiovascular health and otherwise. Also, a lot of attention was paid to reduce smoking. Last: every clearly overweight person I know, eats a lot of carbs, I mean: _a_ _lot._ There is just no denying that. It's crazy that people still may be horrified about the fat/oil in french fries but they ignore the fries themselves.
As a Mormon I invited a friend to attend a meeting of the women's auxiliary. The lesson presented and the comments made could not have been more perfect and I felt that my friend would be favorably impressed. Sadly, her only comment on the experience: I have never been in a room with so many overweight women in my life!💔
What makes me want to vomit is when the mention of saving the earth comes up, oh yeah, humans controlling tsunamis, earthquakes and other disasters, bunch of fools
I think I heard this comment every day of my earth science career. We would do water testing in a locale and discover toxic levels of lead, mercury or cancer-causing chemicals from a nearby mine which had been dumping, which explained the extraordinary levels of cancer and deformities in children in the area. So, thinking we could do some good, we would hold town halls and propose some mitigation and cleanup. But the town halls would usually get out of control with people shouting us down, telling us to leave their town, because the idea that a mine could have any effect on the earth was absurd.

Do you think Dr Penny has seen the video from Dr. Chris Knobbe Diseases of Civilization?
Absolute lunacy. It’s amazing to me that anyone still believes in Charlatans like Ancel Keys (who famously CHERRY PICKED his data) or the fringe religious groups and their insane religious beliefs, over the clear scientific evidence and common sense of thousands of years of tradition. The heart disease issues of the early 20th century were clearly caused by the bizarre acceptance of fake fats from industrial WASTE products-seed oils pressed in a factory and bleached to look like animal fats. And to top it off, your insane beliefs helped kill Steve Jobs. What a nutcase.
I was a vegan for 6 months and it nearly killed me. I did it for health and to save animals. I wish I had known about carnivore before going vegan. I am witness to living a good health from doing standard, vegan, keto and best diet ever which is the carnivore diet. No meds. At all. Been doing it now for 20 years. I just heard about Nina today and have to say she is absolutely correct.

As a keto "survivor", I believed all of this bogus research. However, it almost killed me -wrecked my gut, gallstones, high blood pressure & cholesterol, fatty liver, and heart issues. After a week stay in the hospital, I went Vegan. 7 months later, I had a clean CT scan!
I'm vegan but I hardly believe this. Just like these keto people who claim they almost died on a plant based diet and cured everything going keto.
@@Yourhighnessnona It's hardly surprising given keto is high in saturated fat and has none of the benefits of whole food plants. People aren't dying or on medication because they ate too many whole food plants. WFPB reversed my T2 diabetes and every quarter my bloodwork comes back clean with great numbers in comparison to when I did keto.
@@Yourhighnessnona All the things that OP listed are linked with high meat diets. If you don't believe it, then you haven't read the scientific studies.
Exactly the same for me. I was one of the idiots believing the keto hype many years ago. After 2,5 years, I got many many health deteriorations. Ending up in hospital the doctors told me to immediately stop the keto crap and go Mediterranean and drastically reduce animal products. This saved my life. Keto and animal products turned a healthy man into a sick patient. Going plant based saved him again.
You can be vegan and still accomplish a ketogenic diet btw. Also, the correct way to do a ketogenic diet is plant based with moderate protein. People get too wrapped up with macros etc. I think vegans believe a ketogenic diet is just bacon, butter and ribeyes haha. When you cutout the bullshit ie the processed carbs and industrial seed oils in either a vegan diet or keto diet you will thrive. You genetic makeup and gut biodiversity will guide you to what diet feels best.
Thank you for sharing. We need to continue to explore and learn more about nutrition and health. 7 years vegan, lost my health.mental and physical. Nutrition is complex...It is crazy but going carnivore has healed me fully.
I share your sentiments exactly. Vegan destroyed my health. Meat based with raw dairy and fruits have me looking and feeling great, including hair and muscle tissue growth.
@@Cyberbronco right? i am so shocked that all i believed to be true on food is actually wrong. for years i had bread, pasta and veggies....!!!! what happened to you?
@@sevbuyse I started with a Macrobiotic diet and then went more mainstream vegetarian: fruits, nuts vegetables, no refined flour or sugar. My skin almost fell off.

For heaven's sake - do your research. Nina Teicholz's experience and research makes her a trusted resource - this isn't about the on-going "battle" between vegans and those who include meat protein in their chosen way of eating - it's about getting the BEST nutrition and health for your body. People are free to choose whatever lifestyle they want that makes them feel their best. I have poured literally thousands of hours into research and for me, I chose Keto and transitioned into more of a Carnivore way of eating. ALL of my health markers have vastly improved over the last year. I am 66 y.o, - along the way, my way of eating has completely reversed T2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, psoriasis, skin, tons of energy, clear thinking and lost 70 lbs. I feel better than I have in 20 years. Everyone is different - choose what works for you, and let others do the same.
oh my. we've struck a nerve......
No she’s not a trusted resource and a carnivore diet is not something any responsible person would give a general recommendation to
I agree. Tina has done the research!
I love your comment and do agree that we still know little about nutrition, but respectfully, your experience is anecdotal and we must as a species both follow the scientific data, challenge and improve on it where possible and continue to do more of it. Glad your health has improved as a result of your changes, that’s wonderful!
@l21n1 you know nothing look at Kelly hogan she's been a carnivore for 14 years and is extremely healthy and no heart disease

that lonely 🥦
The New York Times has an article which tells of a Harvard study done back in the 50s or 60s condemning saturated fats which was paid for by the Sugar Industry which essentially blamed high cholesterol on fats instead of the real culprit sugar. Studies like that along with Ancel Keys's misinformation (7 countries study) led to the low fat hypothesis which for the last 60 years has caused Type 2 diabetes to reach epic proportions in this country and around the world. Have you noticed the obesity problem? Just look around you. It's sugar not fats. The average American eats 150lbs of sugar a year. Back in the early 1800s it was 2lbs. We've got diseases now that were unheard of before the low fat craze.
So in the last 60 years no studies were done into fat and sugar? The science is clear. High fat and high sugar are both unhealthy. Whole carbs and fiber make the difference.
@@Meanbeanmachine1988 No link between dietary saturated fat with controlled clinical studies in humans.
100% correct
The funniest thing is how these ilk seem to think that Americans actually followed the dietary guidelines. The populace never has, at any point. Most Americans' concept of a "healthy low fat diet" even during the height of the low fat craze was "low fat" yogurt, "low fat" cottage cheese, and skinless chicken. What regular Jane/Joe American do you ever knew who followed the real guidelines of whole, unprocessed grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables making up the bulk of the plate?
I admire the Canadian food guide but I notice they say they are in fourth place among the Canadian public when it comes to influence. Friends, social media, and books are ahead of them.
Right? Like here we are debunking the food pyramids but really it's mainly sugar and fat that we're eating as a population.
Except that the researchers used actual cash register receipts - if you paid for it, most likely you're going to eat what you bought. Meat, 1 green vegetable and a starch formed the majority of meals. Sandwiches, with lettuce, tomato, onion were also popular.
I was a child of the 50’s and a parent in the 70’s in the Midwest. Very few people paid much attention to the food pyramid.
Well if you watched Nina's talk instead of just listening to this guy cherry pick arguments against her, you'd see she presents evidence that people did follow the dietary guidelines. Extremely well.
Cholesterol levels mean nothing. Examples:
1: chimpanzees in captivity are fed a 100% vegetarian diets (unlike their natural diet) and yet their cholesterol levels are significantly higher than ours yet they do not develop clogged arteries.
2. The Japanese have a slighter higher average cholesterol levels than Americans, yes suffer much less CVD.
3. The lower your cholesterol level, the sooner you die of all causes.
4. All the 3 things above are irrefutable facts.
Cholesterol is extremely highly regulated in our body like blood sugar, but unlike blood sugar, you can’t eat too much cholesterol, because it would be too much for your stomach too. It’s too much foods if you are ti overeat cholesterol.
dumb message primates do not eat meat outside of rare documented cases. No one asks a gorilla where they get their protein. Eating dead things leads to premature death. Animal consumption is and has been the leading cause of disease and pandemics for hundreds of years as much as people want to deny the facts! DUH! Fruit has enough protein to sustain humans
They might be indisputable but they don't imply that high cholesterol isn't causally related to CVD.
Debunked? I don’t think so. Thank you Nina for saving my life
There are people whose lives have been saved by adopting a keto diet. Wish you tubers wouldn't spend time bad mouthing something that truly helps others.
Right. Your anecdote should public policy.

She probably started having health problems and (as happened to me) maybe got tired of sitting on the toilet straining for hours.

@@terryjackson9395 in my case I recover myself from very bad health and extremely low weight for my frame doing almost 100% raw high fruit and greens diet.

As a former Mormon who grew up in Mormon communities, I can tell you that as a culture, they almost entirely ignore the passages against meat. The typical Mormon diet is the typical American diet.

cause he's a clown with an agenda
I wouldn't say that the Inuits are carnivores. Growing up on the traditional Alaska Native Inupiaq diet comprised mostly of wild game, fish, berries, roots, greens, tubers, and plants I would consider them more or less omnivores. They suffer from a lot of heart disease and diabetes when switching to the American diet, which I why I switched to WFPB last month.
Inuits literally have one of the highest incidence of atherosclerosis. Even 4000 years old inuit mummies show terrible cases of atherosclerosis.
These videos have tons of potential, but I have a hard time holding on to the string of reasoning, and sometimes I don't know where we're at. I was wondering why and I think I just found out: the narrator proceeds to rebuke certain arguments before their content was properly laid out for us and made clear. For example, he says that there is so much misinformation about arteries being clogged because of fat, then he puts up a clip of some guy talking about the arteries of bunnies getting clogged, we have no idea where he's coming from until the very last sentence when he says "but they're vegetarians", then we barely have a second to link the dots and figure out that that speaker thought the bunny study was useless and that fat wasn't an issue for humans because they would be meant for a different diet, but right away the narrator starts talking to us about studies made on animals that aren't vegetarian. I didn't have time to process what was said a second ago and now you're bombarding me with a bunch of new stuff I don't know what is relevant to.
To maximize clarity this is a tip from old school rhetoricians: tell us what you're going to say, then say what you have to say, then tell us what you have just said.
Thanks Jean-christophe, good feedback, duly noted. That edit with the bunny artery doctor wasn't great, I can see that now.
I'm with Dr N, at this point we know what a healthy human diet looks like; but the people casting doubt have $ to keep us buying the lies. No one's getting rich selling sweet potatoes..
People prefer to believe what they prefer to be true…Mark Twain
Not really. I would prefer to believe that eating animals is good for you, and doesn’t cause animal suffering. I love the taste of Buffalo wings, fried chicken and a good steak. But the truth is these foods made me sick and feel old and tired.
What I prefer to believe differs from reality. Eating fruits and veggies makes me feel energized. Facts, not beliefs.
Mark Twain (his real name was Samuel Clemens) was a better thinker than most people today, and he wasn't a vegetarian. I think those factors are closely correlated.

Sorry I have to disagree as I am living proof you are wrong. I had dangerously high BP/ high cholesterol and a fatty liver and was clinically obese. I have lost 63lbs. in 6 months doing a loose keto diet (10% whole grains/carbs/30% meats and 60% plants) + intermittent fasting (restricted eating 16/8) and only cooked in sat fats (butter/lard/olive oil) and eggs were a regular staple. I also had moderate daily (30 min.) exercise daily,. I had a full blood workup done 5 days ago and my cholesterol is good, BP is normal (yay off BP meds!) and fatty liver is gone. My GP is dumbfounded because what I was doing went against prevailing medical advise. I didn't watch UA-camrs and just blindly follow their advice and I went out and read research. (I am a researcher by trade) The PROBLEM with Ancel Keys was that his study had a lot of statistical problems in it and could not show causation only correlation. I say the same about Teicholz's graph showing the correlation between the rise of vegetable oils and obesity, it does not show causality. The bottom line is we need better scientific studies on the effects of diet on health. I will leave you with this simple thought, our bodies did not evolved to eat as many refined/simple carbs and refined vegetable oils as we do today. Our ancestors most likely ate lots of veggies, eggs, meat, and some fruits when in season and primarily animal/fish (saturated/monosaturated) fats.
"Is Nina Teicholz right about saturated fat" - YES
"is she a lobbyist for the meat industry" - NO
Is this channel a lobbyist for the big food, big pharma and big fertilizers industries? - YES!
Spot on mate
No she's an opportunist making a buck out of telling people what they want to hear and scoring a decent payday from the beef industry. Your last line is utter bullshit too.
If you want to make pigs fat feed them bread... same thing happens to humans.... Every single vegan I have ever know always turns to meat eventually...
I was 5 years vegan till i realised just how ill i was been carnivore 2 months regaining my health.
I would love to see a vegan/prepper crossover episode. It seems to me that prepper people are all saving crisco and ultra processed high sodium foods and canned meats along with their beans and white rice. What’s the point of surviving the end of the world if your just going to kill yourself with spam and KD?
I have been thinking about how to prep as a vegan.
B12 is the elusive missing piece that keeps bothering me
@@jys365 Can't we just add bottles of liquid b12 to our stash? I guess I'm thinking about shorter-term prepping rather than the apocalypse
@@ChristiePriem Yes, short term, supplements could work. Though they usually expire within a few years.
There are potential alternatives such as Chlorella, Duckweed, Seaweed and fermented foods.
But they would need to be scientifically tested.
@@jys365 you could prep supplements of B12, prep B12 fortified food and Nutritional Yeast. Lots of great freeze dried vegan options can be found at backpacking stores and don’t forget that you can also buy freeze dried #10 cans of vegetables, fruits, grains etc.
@@jys365 it’s nutritionally inadequate, obviously.
After 10 years of paleo I had to go WFPB no oil low salt to get rid of BP pills and it took me about 15 moths. Living beings do not have to know what to eat they usually eat what they can which is what they are adapted to (probably takes a lot of time). I hope that this time I got the right way of eating. I read a lot from Denise in the early days of my paleo period.
Glad you were able to get off those meds. Must have been great to no longer worry about those!
Same exact thing here. Was grass fed paleo for for over 8 years. Fell for Atkins in late 90s and then was huge fan of Mark Sisson. At the end I had so many problems it was getting scary (gout, kidney stones, arterial plaque, Low-T, BP around 175, ridiculous constipation, etc). . The human body is very resilient seems like it can go quite smoothly with incorrect eating before things finally start to implode. 12 years later now and my best advice is to ignore that crap completely and fully 100% EMBRACE whole starches. Since they cook very easily in a rice cooker I eat lentils with a little rice mixed in every day. I gorge myself on cooked plaintains, oatmeal, baked potatoes and eat no fat during the day (half an avocado as a final snack of the day). Use cronometer for a few days just to get your levels. I eat 1 carrot per day for vitamin A and I happen to like nutritional yeast so I eat 2 tbsp per day of that (which happens to provide all the B vitamins... including B12, so I don't supplement any of that).
Doing this, the only thing I do supplement is small amounts of calcium and magnesium, which were lacking in my meat diet also.
How is it going?
@@terryjackson9395 Great post you made. I have avoided manufactured food for decades which basically puts me on a sloppy Atkins or Keto diet only by coincidence. I watched 2 friends loose massive weight and get rid of Diabetes meds on strict Keto. But those friends came off a diet of eating refined everything. I like your concept of 100% whole starches because I always considered those good foods. What I did learn from Nina Teicholz is the toxicity of having constant insulin in our blood stream and the influence of the manufactured seed seed oil companies on our diets. The poisons are the seed oils, sugars and politicians. I might also add that sitting on ones ass in front of a computer or TV is a "poison" too. I am strict Keto right now to meet some goals but will work "Whole Starches" back into my diet and reduce the amount meat protein. People get stupidly polarized about diets and miss the bigger picture. The only thing that does not deserve consideration are refined foods and sugars.
@@terryjackson9395 Hi, I’m curious if you’re still eating this and if it works for you still?
As a thinking person with no lobbying group to support me I'll make a comment.
I was pre-diabetic, fatty liver, high cholesterol, etc at 47'.
I went Keto-Mediterranean-Paleo based on the idea that it would have to be natural, and not the marketed scam products. Also, I did not go extreme with meat, vegetables, or fat. I simply adjusted my diet in a few particular ways.
1. No FAKE FOODS: Never buy food that is processed (can/bag/box, plastic), because they add in preservatives (mostly sugar and other chemicals) this includes ALL forms of grocery store bread(s). Imagine what preservatives do to bacteria, now think of your gut.
2. Eat only home cooked meals - ORGANIC WHEN AFFORDABLE - seasoned to taste.
3. No Sugar, except what is naturally occurring in nature.
4. Natural Organic Grains sparingly (virtually none) Vegetables have fiber and carbs.
5. Vegetables and fruits with low sugar; no root veggies (potatoes), no bananas etc..
6. Protein in moderation; and in non processed forms.
7. Natural Fats only, no processed fats (which would be seed or vegetable oils, fake butter).
8. Drink enough healthy water, purified, filtered, spring, etc.. minimal caffeine.
9. Moderate exercise; yoga, walking, swimming, Pilates.
10. Fast - if done right it is very good for you.
11. When visiting friends/family or celebrating eat drink be merry (with moderation).
CONCLUSION: I listened to both sides. You both have things right. So I did what worked.
I got healthy, and saved $$$.$$. After a year my doctor said I had the heart of a 25 year old and my blood work was perfect on ALL markers. Even the evidence of my Hepatitis A was gone. But Carnivores and Vegans are bad when it comes to actually being helpful instead of proving how right they are. Sounds like two political parties I've heard of.
@@israelsolis1706
Bacon & 1 Egg mixed with greens and other veggies usually around 2pm.
If I snack it's usually dried fruit and nuts.
Dinner (before 8pm) is about 3 to 5 oz. of meat with more veggies or I'll make a smoothie.
I try to incorporate enough fats (max 4 oz. lard, butter, coconut, or olive oil) into the day.
Seasoned everything to taste.
Coffee in the morning, water throughout the day.
No sugars or starchy vegetables or grains. I also consider alcohol carbs so not much of that.
At birthday parties or special events the rules go out the door, but I keep things in moderation.
I also take vitamins sometimes but no more than 1 or two days thorough the week.
I fast one day a week minimal, but do 3 days in a row every now and again. Next year I'm going to try two 7 day fast in the year.
Yoga, Pilates, walking, Weights a couple of times a week. I wish I could still play sports but I dislocated my shoulder last year playing tennis. So working on maybe running again.
My daughter and sons are teaching me to freeze fresh veggies and to pickle ferment things for salads and snacks.
I'm also teaching myself how to make bread without grains/sugar.
I limit my grocery budget to $200.00 a month so buying frozen and not fresh was a quick fix. The nutrition from fresh organic veggies was out of the question till they showed me how to preserve them. I've gotten my prep time for the month down to one day where I just take care of the food (grocery list/shopping/cooking etc.). Then auto pilot the rest of the month.
@@simplekindofman6265 I glad you found what works for you. I think you game changer is leaving out the processed foods. They led me to the operating table and a heart bypass. Im doing well now and I adopted a similar mentality and diet for about 5 years after my operation. Last year I dropped the meat and diary....I felt I didn't need it or was it critical to have in my diet and I was also in a space to do it. Having said that, I would have been confident that I wouldn't have ruined my health either if I continued on to eat meat in the moderate amounts that you do.
I like that you work on your mind and body too with yoga, cardio and weights. Its another key component in healthy living that a high volume of people don't participate in. You also made a wise move not going back to tennis. If you are over 40, you have to pick your activity wisely......some activies are more injurious than others and injury can set us back. Keep up the good work.
Perfectly said! Bravo
So rare to see someone do seriously solid debunking and still be a true gentleman, and a wonderful person at heart too! Bravo for showing us how to handle bad science!

Citation from Teichholz: “I tried to be a vegetarian but I was hungry all the time and then ate tons of MnMs”. What a great nutritionist!
She's not a nutritionist She's an investigative journalist who has exposed the bad science of the Low Fat Hypothesis that's killing the American public if not many other countries. Diabetes is an epidemic in China, India, Indonesia and U.S. Ever since low fat diets were promulgated.
Teicholz was a vegetarian for 25 years and was against red meat before her investigation.
@@enny7617 she was a vegetarian eating tons of MnMs and wondering why she got fat and miserable.

Thank you! I actually think Denise is well intentioned, she's just caught up in our science debunking times.
in your own face..
I really really tried to listen.. But I couldn't take it longer than ten minutes. This gentleman is preaching a religion for his believers, and that's fine. Don't think there's a lot of research behind it.. Nina researched the hell out of it, and for some her message hurts. Do your own research, and don't follow blindly..
Probably a whole food, plant based diet is fine, but in the end you may miss a lot of nutrients, vitamins and minerals (the right, complete mix of amino acids, B12, K2, D3, Zinc, Iodine). Nutrient density is much lower in a vegan or even vegetarian diet than in omnivore or carnivore.
When you women want to become pregnant, take at least B12 and Iodine as a supplement, your child will benefit from it. Again, also search outside your bubble... 🔦
Keto and intermittent fasting is the way
Ancel has been debunked.
Yes he has. I can’t believe people see him as a hero.😱😱😱
@Espian Mashias because human beings are easily brainwashed.ancel keys before he died finally admitted the saturated fats and cholesterol do not cause heart disease and admitted he was wrong
The low-carb debunking of Ancel Keys has already been debunked. See the 2017 whitepaper: "Ancel Keys and the Seven Countries Study: An Evidence-based Response to Revisionist Histories"

Your videos are incredible! Thank you
LOL
Saturated fat raises your HDL and that’s a good thing! The AHA no longer demonizes saturated fat or dietary cholesterol! Ketogenic diet saved my life!
Your dog when you're putting on the oreos... 😂
It's funny, Bodi has never been exposed to any food on that pyramid (except broccoli, which he ignores like most people), but while I was making the pyramid it had his intense attention 100%.
Interesting to hear people making a case for plant-based by slamming the meat-based community.
I'm not bias, I just pay attention to the science 1st, then evaluate through my experience.
I can say doing - no-carb - high protein - high fat for 1 month has lead to a fundamental and profound change in both energy and clarity of thinking that I've never experienced before.
Can't argue with ketones! - by far a superior fuel source over carb /glucose energy.
I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 8 years ago, and went Plant Based 6 years ago after extensive research. I've never taken any MS medication, and I haven't had an episode in over 5 years.
I found Veganism for my health. Then I discovered the atrocities that animal agriculture is doing to the environment and, of course, the animals. I only wish I'd done it sooner. You don't have to be 100% vegan to be healthy, or help save the planet, but ever little bit counts. ❤
That's so inspiring. I've heard of a few people with MS managing to live longer healthier lives by going WFPB. I wish I knew about it sooner, I lost an uncle to MS. ❤
@@DimaRakesah I'm so sorry. I've heard horror stories. 😔 My old boys loss his wife to MS and she was only in her 50's. Statistically most people live a relatively average life span, but are in a wheel chair by 40. I was determined to not end up like that. Thank you for your support! ❤
Sorry to hear about your Multiple Sclerosis but that is amazing and inspiring. Congratulations. 👏
Fabulous! Thank you for a great video. Lots of good information.
Of course she lost hair and muscle mass on a vegan raw food diet. She denied herself starches.
Nina is the epitome of dishonesty
Fantastic video. I'm glad i discovered it ☺

Ignore all the science. Obesity is the American way! Keep doing the same thing

You should have put the quotation marks solely on "food" ;)
If it's any consolation, my wife makes sure the neighbors get the food because (a) she hates waste and (b) our neighbors love it because it's their everyday diet. 😋 They think we're total wackadoodles because they are healthy and slender in their 70s and don't deprive themselves of pizza and burgers. 🤷
Oh my goodness! Chris, this one is truly your best video ever. I just finished my 3rd viewing. I can't wait to see the interviews you mentioned that will follow from this. Yes, you had me at Marion Nestle. Also, this is definitely not too long! Not too funny! I'm sure your audience includes all kinds of people including more than a few like me who have patience & time & some nerdy curiosity. I admit, I'm old'ish & retired. Thanks!
Thanks Kate! It's funny, before I publish I fret over the length and toss clips overboard, and after I publish I think, argh, I should have left that clip in.
this was my first video from this presenter and if this is his best i wont be watching any more . it made me rewatch nina teicholz who presents more science and logic than this guy. dr penny has more credibility.
Have seen so many issues with my vegan/vegetarian clients especially with mood disorders. Nina is on point. and I've seen success with clients eating meat instead and not sure what your credentials are either.
I developed gout because of keto. All that meat was super acidic to my body
I'm not surprised. Interstitial cystitis is another condition affected by acidity, and mine completely went away when I ditched animal products. Not even doing a wfpb diet, just normal vegan.
Thanks for cutting through the unscrupulous Chris. Very well executed.
20 minutes into this and I have no fluckin idea what your position is…….I’m out.
I love your videos and watch them regularly. If you have time and patience, go outside from the United States and visit a country where western diet is not common or zero. You will find the truth and fact. In some countries people even don’t know what carb, protein and fats are and they eat whatever is sold in local markets. They don’t drink coke and Pepsi four times a day nor they start their morning with redbull and rock star so called energy drinks. They don’t add sugar in every meal. They don’t know what Subway, McDonald’s, Burger King and Pizza shops are. Let me explain how they eat, They drink a few cups of green tea with a little sugar and a few eggs or whatever left from last night. There is no chips, cookies and beverages to snack and at noon time they have vegetables, legumes and meat. They cook them at home and same story for dinner. They are healthy and don’t have most of the current western diseases. In my personal opinion, we need to go back to natural foods and avoid processed foods. The key element for today’s problems is only processed food.
Very interesting! I’ll stick to a WFPB diet to hedge my good health bets. It’s also my most important form of health insurance.
@Thomas Rogue whole grains, nuts and seeds, legumes(beans), fungi, vegetables, and fruit.
“Whole” foods is just a buzzword, it means nothing, totally vague like another bogus term, the “balanced” diet. Sounds good. Better get yourself a good life insurance policy.
That's not hedging your bets on the right direction
@@Photologistic “Whole food” is not just a buzzword it means not processed, or minimally processed as in cooked. You know, you don’t have to play dumb.
@@daryltownsley4562Have you tried a whole food plant based diet for any length of time?
What do you say about CAC scores? So many low carbers who eat high sat fat take the CAC test (calcium in the arteries) and get a low score. My sister did and she has a long history of high blood pressure and high cholesterol. They say this proves their arteries are clear. They eat a lot of vegetables so maybe the anti oxidants prevent artery damage?
Saturated fat isn’t inflammatory. Low carb diets eliminate seed oils, refined grains and sugars. Whole unrefined foods is the key.
I think calcium in the arteries are interesting, indicating inflammation sometime in the past. But generally hard plaques are stable and not dangerous, but hard to reverse. It's the soft plaques that are dangerous and the cat scan does not pick them up. There is a relatively new test that I am going to take that does a good job of mapping soft plaques but it's $2,000 and only available in some metro areas. Those are the ones so correlated with high LDL values in the blood.
@Plant Chompers which LDL? High sd LDL?
Ancel Keys left 80% of his data on the floor because it didn't fit his personal paradigm.
Feel free to post studies showing meat extends lifespan
Do you have a reference for that? There were dozens of scientists involved in this study and they published more than any other study I'm aware of.
Feel free to show a study that proves meat shortens life. You can’t.
All the experiments on animals really makes me sad, we need to stop torturing them : what the hell is the point of feeding rabbits meat?? It this necessary…
have you got any idea of how animals live and die in the wild? practically every single animal dies a horrible death in the wild.
15:14 lol, not only that, Heart disease is the first cause of death in Mexico (followed by covid last year and diabetes most years)
That chart is from 1957.
You sound like a really nice human. I hope you are taking supplements to stay healthy on your vegan diet
Very interesting. A little hard to follow. You blast through very quickly. That's what Nina does.
You definitely shine a light on Nina's work. I'll have to look into that more closely.
The biggest problem with the food pyramid is how it has encouraged obesity, metabolic syndrome and diabetes. The ADA guidelines for diabetics have been a huge failure. Work by groups like Virta health have proven the efficacy of keto and LCHF diets to reverse diabetes. Can you comment on that?
Could reference any study on lchf diets reversing, not controlling, diabetes? I myself know some anecdotal cases of people reversing diabetes but on vegetarian diet, only cutting carbs at the beginning.
@@anonimogonzalezperez4951 so, I've done a lot more reading and watching and I believe Nina is right on target with her criticism of Keys and the USDA guidelines. It's outright fraud. We're going LCHF and I don't see any way to do that on a vegan diet.
@@debbiecote3993 it is no necessary at all to do low carb, I was extremely ill on a low carb diet and recover my health on a high carb ew vegan diet, Wich it isn't appropriate on the long term, however I was on average 90% raw, with a lot of green smoothies. A low carb diet is a Russian roulette.
@@anonimogonzalezperez4951 I'm glad you are doing better. You have too do what works for your body. We're good so far on LCHF. 😁👍

After trying keto for over a year and being diagnosed with Leukemia, I went back to my Whole Food Plant Based diet and now use my 100% coconut oil MCT oil for my herbal hair oil infusion. 😁
Had us there in the first half not gonna lie. Good tjing you're putting that cocnjt pil in your ahor and wish you a full and complete recovery.
@Thomas Rogue No, there is no cure for my leukemia, but it's under control.
Angel Keys cherry picked the 7 countries. If you use all the countries he studied there is no significant difference in the results. In other words he cheated.
I was unimpressed with Seth Yoder's rebuttal. I found it very amateurish and it hardly put any dent in Teicholz' arguments.
Neither of the charts in Yerushalmy's and Hilleboe's publication supported Keys' thesis like his own curation appeared to, and it's dishonest to allege that Teicholz' omitted the second chart as if to hide something; Keys wasn't trying to show a link between PROTEIN and heart attacks (you had said only a minute earlier that "context is everything"). Keys himself, in love with his own hypothesis, was actually rattled by their publication, not only because it included data points he chose to omit but because it listed several other factors that could equally explain the trend. Keys impugned the reliability of the omitted data points, sure, but it's not as if the data points he chose to run with were without flaws either (something you conveniently don't mention), and so we can't rule out crude selection bias on his part.
Although Teicholz mentions nutritional studies as being 'particularly problematic' because of the use of questionnaires (1) that segment you borrowed is from a different presentation in which she was not specifically addressing Keys or his seven countries study and (2) the use of questionnaires does not fully capture the problems with nutritional epidemiological studies in general and public over-reliance on them. You go on to say the 7 country study didn't rely on questionnaires, and instead 'assayed the food the men ate over 7 days'. But if you read Keys' study design very closely, you find that of the 12,770 participants, the food they ate was evaluated for only 499 of them, or 3.9 percent. And there was no consistency among nations as to how the nutritional data were collected: in the United States, a one-day record sample was taken for 1.5 percent of the men, whereas in other nations, data were collected for UP TO seven days. So this isn't even the sort of 'gotcha' you imagine it is.
Regarding lent, you say 'I would have been critical had they not collected data during lent. Good science demands it because if you don't collect the data, you don't know if you're missing something.' This is handwavy at best. The problem is how the data is used. Depending on what you're trying to measure, data for the sake of data doesn't necessarily fill in gaps, and can end up skewing things. This is precisely why Keys himself is alleged to have omitted data points in his prior publication, something you're more than happy to give him license to do. Teicholz makes a very valid point about data during lent skewing what's being measured, and it's quite obvious to anyone who has a basic understanding of science and math. Since the foods avoided during Lent are the principal sources of saturated fat, a sampling of the diet during this holiday would obviously undercount that nutrient (duh!). Keys did mention this problem in his monograph but immediately excused it, saying that 'strict adherence [to Lent] did not seem to be common.' He gave no further details and made no mention of the issue at all in his main paper on the Greek diet. Later, when two researchers from the University of Crete tracked down the original directors of the Greek section of the Seven Countries study, they were told that 60 percent of the study population in Crete was fasting during the survey, although 'no attempt was made' in the study to differentiate between fasters and nonfasters.
You go on to say 'scientists know there are limitations to large observational studies but they don't throw out a large treasure trove of carefully acquired data.' It's worth noting that it doesn't matter how careful someone is acquiring data. If the data are inherently problematic, the care in acquiring them doesn't magically make them a 'treasure trove'. You say 'they compare them to other studies like clinical trials because each has strengths and weaknesses and they compliment each other.' That's simply not true. Epidemiological studies ought to precipitate clinical trials, depending on how strong a correlation appears to be, but the two kinds of studies generally do NOT symbiotically combine to build a stronger case. The former is impetus to conduct the ladder, and the ladder generally stands or falls on its own merits.
The Karelia intervention was not a clinical trial either, and suffers from similar kinds of methodological problems and evidential shortcomings that epidemiological studies do. The Karelia intervention was one of a family of studies using a similar protocol and launched by the WHO in 1974 called the Comprehensive Cardiovascular Community Control Program (CCCP). These other programs were run in Hungary, USSR, Switzerland, Norway, Italy, Yugoslavia and both German republics. Most of these CCCP studies, together with other related studies had generally disappointing findings. Negative correlations like these are less known and largely go unmentioned by figures like Dr Puska, which is hardly surprising.
When Teicholz said that “in no case” was the evidence for the consumption of fruits and vegetables in the prevention of cancer “judged to be convincing", it's in support of her assertion that "vegetarian diets generally have not been shown to help people live longer" (context which you omit). On that front, her observation that nothing 'convincing' had surfaced (in the judges estimation) remains valid and relevant. Since she did not assert anything like 'fruits and vegetables definitively DO NOT help prevent cancer' your appeal to the 'probable' and other judgement categories is not any sort of 'gotcha' that you imagine it being. Probably is not demonstrably. And of course she didn't bother mentioning their recommendation to limit consumption of red and processed meat because she's obviously not appealing to them as a broad authority. Rather, you can read it this way: even this cohort of the very sort of people who would recommend limiting meat can't be wholly convinced that fruits and vegetables definitively help prevent cancer.
I can't be bothered to dig further into your speculations about her motives and conflicts of interest. Your critique is highly strained and reveals your own vegan bias and intellectual deficiencies, at least on this subject.
Love these guys!! So funny yet very informative!!

i've lost 65 pounds on a clean keto diet, from 260+ down to 197. my total cholesterol is at a 125, blood glucose at 4.6. i've never felt healthier or better in my life. take it as you will.
Okay, I'll take it for what it is: Another bullshit anecdote. ;)
@@Corilo91 I mean... Okay.
But after Ansel Keys 6 and 7 country studies in the USA around the late 70’s obesity suddenly raced awayover the next 5 decades. America got fat. That wasn’t saturated fat.
Thanks for the info. So many of us believe that our "diet" is the right one, and the excuse I keep hearing is that, well, everyone
has to eat what is right for them. And some believe that is 70-80% fat and swear by it. Vegans believe that is 75% whole carbohydrates.
Dr. Greger has several terrific video's about Keto as well as other choices. The truth is that even neanderthals, inuit, and other groups
eating high fat and/or protein have heart problems and atherosclerosis. Inuit also do not live long lives. Lets also understand that some
"vegans" do not eat healthfully and do not take B12. There are tons of krappy vegan processed foods. "Ex-vegans" blame the vegan "diet" for their failure, instead of their particular choice of foods (and need to supplement something). peace.
So one side says low quality plant based processed food made them sick and the other side says low quality meat based processed foods make people sick. I see no conflict.
If you want to look like Greger, go for it! I'd rather be healthy and strong though

Long live Nina! She is the best!
I enjoyed the time, effort and praise for the scientific method that went into this video. Definitely some points to consider. But ultimately, it comes down to what I can observe with my own eyes and my own experience.
Everyone I know on a traditional 'American' diet (which included me for the longest time) is extremely unhealthy and overweight - it truly is as bad as your Cheeto-burger-sundae surprise. Truly sad (and shameful that at one point in my life, I used to eat all of that garbage - but not mixed together fortunately)
The few that have switched to veganism are no longer overweight, but are still among the more unhealthy people I know. Personally, if you're doing it for purely ethical reasons, more power to you. But you'll never sell me on veganism being actually a healthy (or even a naturally human) way to go.
Those that have gone mostly vegetarian and still include seafood and some animal products are fairing pretty well.
Those that follow diets more in line with what Nina Teicholz (with whom I wasn't familiar with until now) advocates have been (mostly) the ones with the most dramatic health improvements - including me. After 30+ years of trying different food/diet lifestyles - the Keto-esqe high volume meat, saturated fat with boat loads of omega 3s and animal proteins and removal of almost all grains & seed oils from my diet - well it has lead to the healthiest I have been in decades - with positive bloodwork and heart examinations to boot.
So I have to agree with your video - in that the 'science' they and other 'gurus' apply is pretty well, bunk. But like the old adage "Even the blind squirrel finds the occasional nut", I do believe they are onto something truly beneficial.
Again, I'm not trying to sell anything or even be like those crazy passionate "YOU MUST KETO NOW" folks.
I can only say what has actually worked for me and I'm going to stick with that. So I'll let all the advocates and gurus fight it out on UA-cam.
And much to the chagrin of my vegan friends, I'm going to go have some nice grass fed beef and some aged cheese. The wild caught salmon in butter is on the menu for tomorrow.
BEST COMMENT IN THIS THREAD!!! WELL SAID...
100% and i'm in the same group as you.
Henry at 96 w/ daughter + her grandson ... I had to read it twice - nice one :)
That was an Easter egg for anyone who made it that far! I had been emailing Henry 3-4 times a day for a couple weeks to ask questions like "what German papers is Nina referencing?" (His reply: "I never figured that out. Ancel only published one paper in German, and that was back in his high altitude physiology days. The paper he published in Voeding wasn't German and it had English annotations.")
Anyway, one day he didn't answer me until late and he included that pic in his email, saying he had been out on the lake in his boat with family. I wrote back and cracked "maybe that Mediterranean diet thing actually works!"
Awesome!! Thank you!!❤️🌱
Your video is the second listed if searching her. Is some lie about you second on her search. I’m down 65 pounds and off 7 medications doing her way.
I think the main issue in America is that people are very extreme in what they eat and quite frankly in all facets of their life. There is no moderation with you guys and that is the biggest health and mental issue you have as a society.
14% seed oils & 30 minutes of no data just hard slams and snippets. Talk about seed oils more, maybe apply some snippets and captions to how all seed oils effect the human body.
I tried both carnivore and wfpb vegan. My health deteriorated w carnivore and improved w vegan, I'm a very healthy 67, suggestions of 🔝fat, meat diets are dangerous and foolish 😳
Watch Nina Teicholz on Red Meat and the Politics of it in 2021.
A mix of opinions and cherry-picked facts that support them. That is nothing new among youtubers, but this one felt so bad that you lost me as an occasional visitor of your channel. A couple of examples (I could easily pick a dozen more):
@13:10 just because Steve Jobs was (at times) an intimidating persona does _not_ make it right for A. Keys to be one too. If you don't understand that there is a difference between business and the field of science ... well then you just don't. Or maybe you're just name-dropping? "Btw I used to work for ..."
And what does mr Keys' wife have to do with anything, why do you even mention her? I guess you really are a big fan!
@24:06 that is just plain BS! Ok, somebody adviced to avoid sugar in an article in 1700-something, but how many laymen read it? I've _never_ _ever_ heard any health authority saying anything against sugar during late 1900s, except in relation to dental health - and even then it was never about the amount but just the timing, "give your teeth time to recover", etc. I've also seen old commercials on Finnish newspapers (from 1960s I gues) promoting plain sugar by the spoon as a good energy source for kids! That was completely ok back then.
@14:20 the 7 countries study looks a lot different if you plot the deaths against estimated carb and/or sugar consumption too. That's been done. Already in 1957 Jacob Yerushalmy and Herman Hilleboe published a thorough paper as critique of the paper of Keys. One can find good references online.
Notice also, that human death rate is 100% in the end, and only cardiovascular events are considered in Keys' paper. All cause mortality will look different against same food data.
@20:34 The official Finnish "plate model" (as it was called), from 1970s to 90s looked nothing like your pyramid. It was usually printed in a form of pie-chard, and the main staples were grains and low fat milk products, _not_ weggies and fruits - they came 3rd along with meat products. Your pyramid is from around 2010 or later - when even authorities become more carb-avare.
One of the (good) things that P. Puska actually did accomplish was that he added more Mg & K into the diet of people in his studies, in a form of enriched salt called "pansuola". Defiency of Mg has many ill effects, as we know now, in cardiovascular health and otherwise. Also, a lot of attention was paid to reduce smoking.
Last: every clearly overweight person I know, eats a lot of carbs, I mean: _a_ _lot._ There is just no denying that. It's crazy that people still may be horrified about the fat/oil in french fries but they ignore the fries themselves.
Great video!
As a Mormon I invited a friend to attend a meeting of the women's auxiliary. The lesson presented and the comments made could not have been more perfect and I felt that my friend would be favorably impressed. Sadly, her only comment on the experience: I have never been in a room with so many overweight women in my life!💔
The first women’s meeting I took my MIL to was summarized like this,”All I could see was a room full of exhausted women.”
When smart people lie, it's because they're getting paid.
I just had a good laugh when I saw his 'american food pyramid' 😂
Nina at 11:50; Read her book ' Good plug for Nina!
Great episode 👏
To be fair to Denise. I no longer thinks she subscribes to all the BS she wrote.
I don't think there is any reason to be fair to someone who made money from willing idiots.
Please do a video on the documentary “Food Gate”!!!!
Healthy keto after Dr Berg is great
Is he still pretending to be a real Dr?
all the while pushing supplements?
Mind blown 🤯 epic take down. Fascinating studies!
What makes me want to vomit is when the mention of saving the earth comes up, oh yeah, humans controlling tsunamis, earthquakes and other disasters, bunch of fools
I think I heard this comment every day of my earth science career. We would do water testing in a locale and discover toxic levels of lead, mercury or cancer-causing chemicals from a nearby mine which had been dumping, which explained the extraordinary levels of cancer and deformities in children in the area. So, thinking we could do some good, we would hold town halls and propose some mitigation and cleanup.
But the town halls would usually get out of control with people shouting us down, telling us to leave their town, because the idea that a mine could have any effect on the earth was absurd.
