    Dear Dr. Rogers: dropping oils proved easy; dropping sugar proved easy; dropping salt proved almost impossible until I saw one of your presentations. Your explaination of the optimal ratio between potassium and sodium gave me the inspiration do do whatever proved necessary to banish added salt from everything including my favorite multi-ingredient dish: split pea soup. After a week or so, the "odd" taste of soup and other dishes without salt vanished. Thank you. My next point of focus: minimizing protein by eating more sweet potatoes which I love and expanding my repertoire of single ingredient meals. So, Doc: thank you for your dynamic persentations and your personality which draws people like me deeper into the mysteries of good health.

      Great video! I’m coming from the low carb high protein community and your information is an amazing concept on low protein. How can we know that people like Dr Gabrielle Lyons and Don Layman are wrong about their studies in high protein? Thank you!!

      @@Ranch-girlYou have to work the problem backwards, as who lives the longest with no loss of brain function, no heart disease, no high blood sugar or blood pressure, so remain strong, not having to take medications, free from constipation and no cancers, and no obesity. These people are Blue Zones people, what do they eat? Mostly carbohydrate from plant foods and only the oils found naturally in them. If they do eat any animal protein it is very rare as for a celebration such as a holiday or a wedding.
      The thing is to look what causes the aforementioned diseases. The Western diet or the standard American diet.
      By 60, I was 80 lbs. overweight and had such arthritis all over my body, I was in a wheelchair. Not how I wanted to live, there were more days I had to use the wheelchair than not. I gave up all animal foods including all dairy, all fish, all poultry and eggs and seafood, just ate plants. Now I am 71, and not on medications and no longer overweight, able to walk 5 miles per day.
      I know that if I went back to how I ate, I’d get crippled again. It took just 3 weeks to be able to walk pain free.
      Both my mother and sister died of breast cancer, my father and maternal grandmother of Alzheimer’s. All were obese, all had arthritis, some had to have joint replacement surgeries - that was my mother and her sister. All had high cholesterol, my mother got kidney failure and died in a coma. They all took over 10 prescription meds per day.
      Taking no meds is because I am not sick with any lifestyle diseases.
      Other plant-based people get the same results I got.
      I follow the diet as taught by Dr. John McDougall, MD in his book “The Starch Solution”.
      I do not get tired of eating this way, only had 2 colds in 10 years and 1 case of flu. Yes, this is much better, my husband and I no longer have asthma too.
      This diet is the one that to understand why it works, helps a lot. I continue to be inspired.
      I got the Audible book and have listened to it many times while I walk. It has helped me to reprogram my thinking so I don’t fall back into old habits.

      The HFCS travels through the portal vein from the small intestine to the liver and enters glycolysis at the three-carbon phase (instead of the six-carbon phase) - bypassing the regulatory steps, jumping ahead in line to be metabolized. The liver eventually has nowhere to send the HFCS so it stores it as fat creating a fatty liver. It just gets metabolized so fast that you have to be in a full-sprint to make use of it.

    Still listening to amino combo part. Perhaps plant protein with the fiber slows, changes how proteins are absorbed? Perhaps a Vegan Rd, PhD like Janice Stanger can answer the “too much protein “ question.
    So glad you ask the hard questions Dr. Rogers!! It’d be interesting to see what Campbell thinks about activating mTor with plant protein combos in cancer patients?? 👍👍💫

      There is just so much less protein in plants that they don't cause a problem, i think that's the main thing. Animal products are insanely high with their protein, like salmon is 50% fat and 50% protein, so if you get a 200 gram piece of salmon... Versus a sweet potato with 3% protein.

      In this case it wouldn’t be an eating disorder it would be a very targeted approach to maximize longevity. Kinda like only charging your cell phone from 20 to 80 in order to maximize the battery life over the years.
      It makes sense that building lots of muscle uses up your cells ability to divide. I do think that we need to balance this though because so many people as they age get frail and weak. You need to have enough muscle to combat that. You don’t want to be 90 and take 2 minutes to walk up the stairs because you are so skinny and weak you can’t even function in a posh modern life.
      People tend to talk in extremes though. Either maximize longevity or maximize muscle and strength. But it takes some amount of muscle and strength to live a pathetic sedentary modern lifestyle too. And people think they can just get old and skinny and have no impact to that. They will not like the last five years of their extended life if this is what they do. Better to not have those years at all and maximize the quality of the previous 85. Imo
