    Regarding soy and breast cancer. As someone who was diagnosed with breast cancer and is taking an estrogen suppressant, it was recommended that I consume natural soy products like plain soybeans, tempeh and tofu because it will not increase the likelihood of the cancer returning but will help reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis since the phytoestrogens do act like our natural estrogen in bone development but is not affected by the medication. I probably should eat more of it than I do, but I try. It just wasn’t a food staple in our home so it is just not something I think of when planning meals. I do have some now and then, however, when I think of it.

    If I had to add an 11th myth that I really think needs to be busted is the myth that soy and cruciferous vegetables cause hypothyroidism and that people with hypothyroidism should avoid these foods. At most, these foods might be problematic if iodine intake is insufficient. But, as long as iodine intake is sufficient, they don't harm thyroid function. I'd like to see you do a video specifically on this topic.

    Since there are so many kinds of "plant milk" it's easy to find a boogeyman version to make dairy shine by comparison. Hence, using low-protein almond milk or plant milks with additives and other crap. I, on the other hand, just walked over to my refrigerator and pulled out my Silk Organic Soy Milk and my wife's whole dairy milk. Per 8 oz serving, the dairy milk has 10 times the saturated fat (5g vs. 0.5g); nearly twice the sodium (135mg vs. 75mg); 12 times the sugar (12g vs. 1g); twice the calories (160 vs. 80) and about the same amount of protein (7.7g for the dairy and 7 for the soy). Since the soy milk is fortified, it also has more calcium, FFS (300mg vs 275) and more B12.

      Touche! You gotta read the label. If the plant based milk has a lot of fillers, it may not be so great. Otherwise, likely better. I think there was a pretty comprehensive program on Zoe (if I remember correctly) that covered this.
      If you know of a good butter substitute, then please let me know. Currently mainly use Benecol or skip it all together. I'm a ovo-pescatarian, eating a small amount of fish a few times a week and eggs if I go out for breakfast. Some people that ditch dairy really miss cheese or milk/yogurt that are dairy...I miss BUTTER!

    I suspect the pet peeve of "calories in, calories out" is in regards to the way people seeing it as the be-all end-all of advice can lead to truly atrocious eating habits. When I first started dieting, I saw it as a simple limit. I could have whatever I wanted, so long as I didn't have too many calories. I didn't want vegetables, so I simply did not eat them. I would have a 500 calorie muffin, a 400 calorie candy bar, a 400 calorie gas station sandwich, and a 300 calorie soda. Technically it was enough of a reduction to lose weight, but I was testy and hungry all the time, not to mention at risk of scurvy, lol. CICO is the most important principle of gaining control of weight, but to say it's the only thing that matters is to say a car will run as long as it has gasoline in it. Technically true, but if you put the gasoline in the back seat instead of the tank, you are going to have a very bad time. Definitely poorly worded, though.

    • @jennoscura2381
      @jennoscura2381 Рік тому +2

      CICO is about weight not health. I have lost 20 pounds while still eating junk food. Now I am trying to improve the quality of the food I eat. I do take multivitamin and D3 every day. So I am not at risk for any serious vitamin or mineral deficiencies. But it's still good to not eat so much junk food.

I said something about how many doctors don't seem to mention diet or nutrition and she said we spent about two weeks in school on nutrition. That was her fairly recent experience so it's nice to hear a doctor speak on diet and nutrition. She wants to work in preventative medicine with an emphasis on keeping people from getting to the point of needing medications that all have some possible side effects. I'm proud she sees this as a career path down the road. Thanks Dr. Carvalho for the discussions you bring here.

    Wow, I can’t believe that “cals in / cals out” is regarded even remotely close to a myth. It was one of my major reasons for my shredding of 79 lbs. it is not the only focal point, such as reduction of processed food, exercise, and many many others, but to suggest it as a myth is just ridiculous. If you ingest 10 handfuls of healthy nuts, a large avocado, buckets of other fruits, giant salmon portions each day you can bet with 100% certainty you will gain weight as a result of excessive caloric intake. I might agree with the statement that excessive calorie counting can lead to anxiety and produce unhealthy habits/cravings but that would/should be worded as such.

      @@healthyinformation not arguing that, and I do not doubt your statement. However, restriction, or should I say deficit, only applies when you are “dieting”. Once you reach goal you should have established a sustainable eating lifestyle, and hence “off the diet”. At least that is the only way to achieve long-term sustainability
      People who fall off do not establish proper dietary requirements and eventually resort to higher caloric intake relative to their burn rate, and the weight comes back.
      I will add that, while it is not just calories, not addressing sugar spikes, fibre, hydration exercise,sleep, and all the health conditions that go with it contribute to failure rates with respect to sustainability.

    - Whole foods with focus on protein. No restriction on any macro as long as it stays within calorie limits
    - food logging, calories awareness and portion control
    - Weight/strength training- most important tool. Muscle just soaks up glucose like a sponge

    Potential plant milk drawback that I think needs to be emphasized more: emulsifiers. I don't suspect plant milk *itself* is bad - but many of these milks have added preservatives and emulsifiers which may have deleterious effects on health and metabolism via gut microbiome perturbations. The evidence isn't strong yet but it is accumulating.

      @chloeshand8861 Рік тому +1

      I think this is fair. Although not all emulsifiers are made the same-sodium citrate for one is fine! It helps make cheese emulsify into milk. Although as plant based milk can easily be made with the seed/plant and water, does it really need added oils and emulsifiers? No.

They just can't use synthetic pesticides which are more effective and thus require less to be used. They also can't use synthetic fertilizers. So they may end up using manure, blood, and bone. Which for me as an ethical vegan is a no go. Unless it's labeled veganic you have no idea if they used none vegan fertilizers. Also, organic costs more. So I see no good reason to buy organic snd avoid it when I can.

      ​@@jennoscura2381 Synthetic Pesticides (Glyphosate on gmo crops, neonicotinoids, monitor not long ago) and the associated type of intensive mono-agriculture are an ecological disaster, destroying all biodiversity that made the soil rich in the first place. No plant diversity, no insects thus no birds nor small mammals. This model is also a hazard for mankind as a single pest could eradicate almost all of the yield.

Dr. Gil, can you address those of us who no longer have a gallbladder? I had mine out years ago after an extreme shake diet (think Oprah and the wagon of fat when she did Optifast). With all the emphasis on fat bombs, bullet coffee, etc, is it really that good to load-up even on unsaturated fats when I am missing the organ that helps digest that fat? I've always wondered about this and nobody seems to address this, and I'm thinking there are a lot of us without a GB--at the time, all the Drs told me I don't need it & wouldn't miss it. But not sure now. I am pre-diabetic and fighting to get my weight in a good range (again).

Remember, research is with large groups of people. I'm curious how much variance there may be from individual to individual in certain instances.

    To talk about weight loss/gain when you really mean fat loss/gain is surely the biggest myth - by a long way.
    Myth 3 focuses on weight gain and that's a prime example. More weight is usually more bad obviously but that hides the real story.
    It's perfectly possible for example to slowly increase weight (between say 25 & 45yrs) and simultaneously increase long term healthiness just by eating a much healthier diet but with more calories whilst also building strength. The extra calories may not be ideal but they can still lead to improved health if that person was previously quite thin but ate a very unhealthy diet (which describes many many teenagers).
    It's unforgivable for registered or academic nutritionists to focus on weight gain/loss but it happens all the time. Even the NHS constantly talks about weight loss when they actually mean fat loss.
    Another reason it matters so much is because gaining weight via building muscle (and metabolism) is a great way to reduce excess body fat. Even if muscle increases and overall weight goes down the focus should be on the fat not the weight because the fat is always the problem and the weight is just an association.
    Rant over... but this IS the biggest myth!
