Some of the strangest places or people to get "nutrition" from are hospitals/doctors. My father was in the ICU teetering on renal failure, and they told him he could only have clear fluids. Dinner was a cup of broth. Here's the thing. His doctor had already told me he was supposed to reduce his sodium intake significantly because it was high and too hard on his kidneys. What was in that cup for his "dinner?" Beef "broth." When they took the lid off it, I could smell the salt in it from across the room. THIS was his "dinner?" The guy with kidneys about to fail was being "fed" by the hospital, a salt dinner. When I questioned it, I was told a "Registered Dietician" had authorized the meal. Whopity-effing-do. They were contradicting health advice and I had zero a faith they knew what to feed him. Chicken broth is at least lower in salt than beef broth. Geezes, people.
And yet we're supposed to blindly put our faith in these people, and now more than ever before ever since the covid outbreak. And you can NEVER convince these people that they're doing anything wrong, I guess because they think that since they got their doctorate that they don't have to try learning anymore and can just relax in the safety of their own ignorance.
Great talk. To fully understand the context within which he is speaking, you need to read In Defense of Food (or watch some kind of summary). I feel it is an important book. That book does a great job of laying out the history of how our food ways changed in the US, generation by generation, as they were captured by the food industry which puts profit above all else. These are just short excerpts from an interview and a talk by the author. This perspective is important and worth considering.
Very good talk. I gave up all this Keto, Carnivore, Vegan, Vegetarian hype by all these salespeople, selling their books or their nutrients, attracting customers to their videos by pulling silly faces and clickbait. Bottom line: Eat healthy. Mix and match (meat, vegetable and fruit and get all nutrition from natural foods) avoid excess eating in general, and processed foods, soda, candy and sugar in particular. (once in a while okay) No more "subscribing" either, which causes one to be bombarded by the best salespeople and their propaganda, they are all tied into booksales and vitamin sales. (high views, always gets shoved to the front, excluding the smaller more sensible individuals ) Since I unsubscribed to everyone, other points of view (like Michael Pollan surfaced)
Next food delusion will be 3-D printed foods. While printed foods can be made healthy, greatest profits will be made with salt, sugar, and processed wheat.
All wild animals know what is their right food and drink only water as their only source of hydration. Domesticated humans and some domesticated animals lost their natural instinct to know what's the right food for them. Americans lost their eating instinct completely you have no idea what is real food.
We don't see "matter" either, in a sense - all we see are specific instances of it. You're over-generalizing. The points you are making are interesting - in some cases helpful, in others not. E.g., the preponderance of omega-6 fatty acids and dearth of omega 3s in our diet (due to corporate agribusiness practices, etc.) is (yes) u n h e a l t h y. Also, paying attention to the ratios of macro n u t r i e n t s (fats, carbs, proteins) in our diet can be a great aid in protecting our h e a l t h - particularly given our carb infested American diet. Another myth is that saturated fats, the most innocuous of (yes) n u t r i e n t s, is bad for us. But your points about processed foods are absolutely right on - very well said. And there's much truth in the great majority of what you say.
Knowing biochemistry in general is called: education. Like every other subject. Everyone can speak without studying grammatics, but if you do it, you master the language. You can't blame food science and nutritionists because they taught people.
The problem is that people who don't understand the science are being fed (pun unintended 😉) bits and pieces of the science. They aren't actually being educated. There is no nutritional program in the American school system. Great nutrients, that people would get through a whole foods diet, are added to processed junk under the ruse of being healthy for them.
Oh damn. He predicted omega 6s but it’s sugar that’s bad. However! Added sugar content is a good indicator of processing. So it does have some correlation. This was interesting to watch. Thank you for posting.
Omega 6 is more poisonous than fructose. It makes you fat, and causes Type 2 Diabetes, heart attacks, and cancer. Even if you don't get fat, you can still get the other diseases.
@@robinlillian9471 I’m not an endocrinologist or making a claim. Sugar is the current boogie man, which is what I meant but didn’t explicitly say. My bad.
@@robinlillian9471 how do you know? Really point me to some solid research. Not animal models, or any study less than 100 people. Sorry but before anyone can make any ripples in the scientific community these are the bare minimum.
I hate to break this to you, but you brought it up. NO ONE needs a priesthood to mediate their relationship to God. You were however VERY accurate in calling that religion. which will get ANYONE a one-way ticket but it wont be to an eternity with God for sure. I'm NOT preaching to or at you. I'm simply pointing out the TERRIBLE analogy.
Sometimes I look at the snack/candy section like were doing everything we can to eat a fruit without having to actually eat a fruit
True. Fruit juice is the worst -- pure sugar w/ little nutritional value. Young children should never be given juice.
The produce section exists, too, you know.
We have bred fruits to be way sweeter than their wild counter parts, and it's still not enough. Wtf. Sugar addicts.

you could not be more wrong
I'm eating for health and enjoying the hell out of it.
Enjoying the health out of it, too.

LOL, can't wait to eat my first 3-D printed T-Bone steak.

Yep. He looks real healthy and slim.

Crazy. Go do proper nutrition study.
Really? Stop using mental health diagnosis that you do not use correctly. It is rude and helps no one
