Dr Idz is WRONG About Plant Toxins!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 бер 2023
- Dr Idz seems to think that just because he hasn't seen something, that it doesn't exist. This hubris can get you into trouble. You may have seen his video where he took a 30 second clip of a 2.5 hour video and tried to critique it without even watching the rest of the video to see the context. Unfortunately for @dr_idz he was utterly, and verifiably, wrong. He states that plants DON'T contain any carcinogens, and even if they did, they would LIKELY be hormetic (just a guess, no evidence provided). And of course, if they dont exist, then they are neither hormetic or anything else. Too bad for Dr Idz, it is a well documented fact that plants contain harmful toxins, some of which can be carcinogenic, according to the World Health Organization, UC Berkeley professor Bruce Ames, many books on Botany, and countless other sources. If they are hormetic though, he would have to show the following, which he doesnt do:
1. Which ones are hormetic?
2. At what dose are they hormetic?
3. What is the effect?
4. Are all the toxins hormetic?
5. As there can be hundreds of toxins in any given plant, are they all hormetic at same ratio in same plant?
6. How would you know?
7. How can you know the exact amount of each toxin in each plant in say a salad?
Dr Idz does not even attempt to provide any of this because he has no idea and was just making a wild accusation, which seems to be par for the course for him.
What's more, he references studies that claim eating more veggies is beneficial, but they only compare against processed food diets, not whole food meat based diets, so they are meaningless. And where are his references? Mine are below. For all studies always ask, "compared to what?" If they don't compare the two groups that you are looking at, the study isn't applicable to the conversation.
It takes a lot of knowledge to realize just how little we know and to have some humility about it, and unfortunately again, Dr Idz hasn't gotten that far in his studies.
"It doesn't matter how smart you are if you don't stop and think."
--Thomas Sowell
**UPDATE!**
Turns out Dr Idz is an ideologue (Idzdeologue?). He specialized in Lifestyle Medicine, which is part of a religious movement led by the Seventh Day Adventist Church to get rid of meat from the diet, as they have been religiously anti meat since the 1800s. They even founded Kellog's cereals and Sanitarium foods to push this agenda. He's ideologically, not scientifically, driven, whether he realizes it or not. Look into it yourself: he is a self-proclaimed Lifestyle Medicine specialist. Lifestyle medicine is founded and run by the Seventh Day Adventist Church out of their medical school Loma Linda and was originally called the Christian Association of Lifestyle Medicine. They set the curriculum and write the exams; this is just a front for their religious agenda. They also have huge ties to the processed food giants like Coca-Cola, Nestle, Sanitarium, and of course Kellog's.
Furthermore, the SDA church also founded the university program in nutrition and dietetics way back in 1917, wrote the textbooks, and still influence the curriculum. I bet you he didn't tell you guys that!

My mom is 70 yo, she never felt healthy and good all her life, she is on strict carnivore for 4 months and so much energy.
My husband had acute pancreatitis and hospitalized for almost 2 mo last year, we followed the dietitian diet and 6 MO later the inflammation didn’t even move, changed for a carnivore and the 300ml cyst in his pancreas becomes a small cyst … real life real testimony… Carnivore for life, thanks Dr. Chaffee ❤
Finally someone who does a reaction correctly! Not pausing every five seconds and actually first letting the whole point be expressed and then breaking it down! Everyone should do it this way IMHO!
Thank you!
@@anthonychaffeemd You kept your cool nicely Doc!
I agree totally.
@@BriarRoseA I know that when I eat vegetables and fruit I get lot of pain in my joints .thank you Dr Chaffee you and dr Ken Berry change my life ❤
bart kay is ridiculous in his. no surprise his videos are like 1 hour long to a 10 min video. you can just pause and jump on every statement.
Personal anecdote. On Wednesday morning, after 3 months of strict carnivore, weiged 301.4 lbs (down from 330). For our anniversary the wife and I went to a Disney resort. Gave myself permission to eat whatever I wanted. After 36 hours of eating carbs (a little sugar, but primarily wheat, corn & vegetable products) I weigh 312.2 lbs. Every joint and muscle group in my body hurts. The inflammation is real. It's gonna take a week to get rid of this water. So yeah, plant products have been fantastic for me.
Exactly. They cause inflammation.
You're so right. I've been adding in more and more carbs over the past few months wanting to put on some weight to see if I feel better at 160 or go back to 148-150. I do feel better with less weight. I'm able to stay at my job on my feet for 9.5 hours without my feet hurting. My low back didn't hurt as much, and I overall just feel better.
It’s also water weight, sugar and many carbs make your body retain more water for longer time that’s why you look more puffy and gain weight in a couple of days. Eating like that for months/years and you will be in a metabolical syndrome state meaning chances of develop diabetes typ 2 or insulin resistant (prediabetic) in combination with high blood pressure, overweight and bad total cholesterol are much more higher. That’s why minimal intake of carbs and sugar and an active life can prevent you from all that.
@@badassfriend9076 Yep. Well aware. Thank you.
That is just the hormetic effect, that you can not appreciate. You should just slowly add more and more carb rich plant food and you will get better and better. Do not worry.
"The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it." -George Orwell. Dr. Chaffee, the more flak you get, the closer you are to the target. Great work.
Thank you very much!
it's getting scary how many times and how many places this quote applies. We're living in a clown world already
Evidenced by so many ex vegans/vegetarians in all the comments sections, who became sick and got their health back on carnivore 🤷♀️Thanks Dr Chaffee 👍💪
Absolutely! You're welcome, thank you for watching!
My brother is vegetarian /vegan and I’m a carnivore. My blood work is better than his . His cholesterol is to high and so on .
@@gocarnivorepeople You can take a horse to water... I'm sure you'll keep on being a great example 👍
@@anthonychaffeemd also reishi mooshroom Is bad??
@Excel.In.Life.Faith! my dad and mumm are on carnivore 😊💪🏾🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩
I have a bachelor's of science in botany (I triple majored in botany, zoology, and chemistry). I also have a master's of public health in environmental management, what environmental management entails is how we affect the environment and, in turn, how the environment affects us, it can be a vicious downgrading health cycle for both animals (i.e. humans) and the environment. There are WAY more toxins in plants than we are aware of, more than we can detect and are continually discovering more and more. Any benefits that "edible" plants could possibly give us by consuming them are negated by their numerous harms. Many plants will kill the consumer acutely, all the others will kill us chronically. That physician is wrong! He is totally ignorant of the plant' s dangers to human health. Plants are not for human consumption if you wish to be healthy, so just eat meat based foods for optimal health.
Are there any low sugar fruits that a healthy carnivore can occasionally consume without worry? In addition, perhaps fatty fruits like Avocado's and Olives? Or do they have toxins as well.
@@Metranger-xd4bt They (any plant) are all with worry! Here is a short snippet of info on both avocados and olives for you to ponder before consuming either.
Avocado
Avocados contain Persin, which is a fungicidal toxin present in the avocado flesh. Persin is an oil-soluble compound, it leaches into the body of the fruit from the seeds. The avocado plant (weather it be bark, leaves, skin, flesh, or pit) has been shown to be poisonous to animals (dogs, cats, rabbits, mice, cows, goats, horses, birds, pigs, rats, sheep, turkeys, chickens, fish, and ostriches, just to name a few). Symptoms include myocardial tissue damage, acute respiratory syndrome (asphyxia), cardial arrhythmia, submandibular edema, necrosis of myocardial fibres, and death. More research is needed on the toxicity to humans. Human research to date has been in-vitro for ethical reasons. So far, the in vitro research suggests avocado might be genotoxic to human blood cells. Genotoxins have the ability to damage DNA which kill cells and/or mutate them. BTW, cancer is caused by mutations to the DNA.
Olives
Olives, in their unprocessed state, are extraordinarily bitter! (This is a clear warning “danger! Don’t eat me”) Over the millennia, humans have developed processes to make these fruits more palatable. These processes include, but are not limited to, brining/salting, fermentation, alkaline oxidation, and acidification. What makes olives so darn bitter is a glucoside compound called oleuropein. These processes try to decrease the bitterness of oleuropein. Olives, depending of the processes used can contain any of the following: Biogenic Amines (Putrescine, Cadaverine, Tyramine); Mycotoxins (Ochratoxin, Citrinin, Aflatoxin B); Pathogenic Bacteria (Listeria Monocytogenes, Staphylococcus sp., Coliforms, Yersinia, Escherichia coli, Clostridium). Modern processing of California style olives promotes the formation of toxic acrylamide in the olives. Acrylamide is a neurotoxin, reproductive toxin, and potential carcinogen.
You can choose to consume these if you are so desired to. I, however, avoid them.
@@Metranger-xd4bt Sally Norton says berries are high in oxalates. I'm not touching them anymore. My body is dumping oxalates and it's been hell. Finally feel a little more rested the passed few days. Hope we are done with all the dumping. I think exercise makes it worse. I eat some fruit and one cup of tea to make it slow down but it's on overload at the moment. I think it's the weight lifting. But I want it all out so I'm not stopping.
@@akbananachucker2441 "It'll take ten years". You'll see in the recent interview with her, if it's too much, you'll have to have a taste of tea or chocolate to halt the dumping. Given how fast the body responds, you might only need to gargle the tea.
@@Dan-gs3kg well I didn't consume all the vegan stuff she did and for as long as she did so I'm hoping it takes a lot less. I do take half a cup of tea for a small boost and 2 or three fruits a day for the sweet tooth. It feels like I'm running a marathon at night. Wake up super tired. And during the day I'm lifting weights like a mad man. Having problems keeping the weight on but the muscles are responding well. I'm also in the upper 40s so things are harder. I work out about 2 or 3 hours a day and off on Sundays. Since Dr. Chaffee doesn't do much exercise videos I follow Dr. Mike Israitel. Not sure how much more I can take but it's been about 2 years.
I knew someone when I was in the US Air Force. She was from the Philippines. This was back in the 1980's. Her sister, who was still in the Philippines killed her entire extended family, by cassava root. She did not cook it right (I'm pretty sure she didn't cook it at all. She made a special salad with shaved cassava root on it. She killed herself, and over 50 people at a family reunion. Needless to say, my friend was very distraught. I flatly refuse to eat any veggies after my own study on the subject.
Oh my goodness, that is so terribly tragic... This is why I do this, because people just have no idea about the toxic nature of plants, and they simply don't respect them enough, and then this happens. Especially now that the plant based narrative is being pushed so hard at the moment
@@anthonychaffeemd Yes indeed. I tell anyone interested in hearing about how I cured my diabetes, reversed my cancer, and the other dozen or so health problems, all the same thing. And they always respond the same way, “you did all of that by eating meat only?”
And then they usually say, “meat cured this or that?“
My reply is usually, “No, the lack of plants in my diet allowed my body to heal itself. Any species eating an inappropriate diet will suffer various diseases. Eating the right way will allow the healing”.
@@dr.robertjohnson6953 Perfekt response. So many people don't get that it is especially because of the avoidance of all the plant toxins that help so with getting rid of diseaese.😊
Christ help us! What a horrible story. Sad how she knew better but decided to be a bone head that day. 50 people gone. 😢
I was vegan. Then, I started suffering from oxalate issues! I didn't even know what oxalates were! Plants are toxic! So thankful I found you and the other carnivores! Autoimmune issues that I'd been suffering from for years are now gone. I'm 60 lbs lighter and feel like a million bucks! Meat, eggs, and limited dairy is the proper human diet!!
I love that for you!!
I eat meats, fish, eggs, cheese, avocado's, olives -mostly. So I am not 100% carnivore, but my macro's are about 5/30/65 for carbs, protein and fat respectively. It is quite scary what is being said about veggies, but I do believe that. The few carbs I consume are the little contained in avo's and olives, and occasionally a fruit or lettuce.
That's so great to hear! I'm really glad that you're doing so well!
Can you share what you mean by oxalate issues?
@@livinginla200I just went to the ER with a killer kidney stone. It was tiny but felt like a small elephant crawling from my kidney. After major pain killers I was able to pass it at the ER. I had it analyzed and it was from oxilates! I'm sure there are other oxilate issues but this one alone is worth avoiding!
Another favorite quote of mine from Thomas Sowell is - "It doesn't matter how smart you are unless you stop and think"
Thomas Sowell is perhaps the wisest commentator & author of our time !
Yes exactly! I love that one
@@agenda697 I agree!
Sowell is one of the most brilliant men to ever grace this planet. How I wish his books were required reading, his interviews required viewing. You just can’t argue his facts. Not successfully.
It's funny he says they have a hormetic effect yet claims they are not toxic. Does he even understand what hormesis is? Hormesis would imply they were harmful. How does he know the toxins he's consuming are acting hormetically rather than harmfully? He hasn't quantified hormetic levels.
Haha, exactly! And no, absolutely no thought or education went into making his video
@@aliceclearmanphd984 To be fair, Anthony is really saying the same thing. No one really quantifies how much you'd need for this so-called hormetic effect before it just becomes harmful. They just argue 0 to 100 without any thought to the bodies ability to process all of these toxins.
Hormetobros when the rest of their life is an impossible balancing act
I agree that Ids's video was light on useful information; his understanding of hormesis seems vague and shallow. But I don't think we have to ridicule or discard the concept of hormesis, to recognize the benefits of a carnivore diet. Fasting and exercise, for example, have known hormetic benefits.
@@Nilsosmar Yeah don't worry no one's doing that, we're ridiculing the people who refuse to say that they just want to keep eating certain foods and instead claim some magical hormetic effect comes from consuming poisonous plants.
Raising my hand as yet another chronically sick vegan newbie carnivore, only one month in and ALL my symptoms of autoimmune rheumatoid arthritis, interstitial cystitis (painful bladder disease) are GONE! Also completely gone: anxiety, panic, brain fog, constant fatigue, insomnia, vertigo, itchy skin all over, TMJ pain.
I am now in no doubt that plants were literally killing me! So thankful for my doctor suggesting I try carnivore!
Hey that's great! I'm so glad you had such a good doctor!
@Anthony Chaffee MD he's the best, I'm so lucky he makes an effort to keep up with all the latest developments and has always been very supportive of my never ending quest for a more natural approach. We need more doctors like him!
In 2013 I quit gluten.
in 2015 I quit dairy.
2016 I had a rather massive breakdown from PTSD - severe hypervigilant state for years.
2017 went vegan (with the occasional family meal I couldn't refuse).
2022, Keto, but very Keto-lite with way too many carbs.
Throughout all this I've had many food intolerances, gut inflammation, aching joints, and severe brain fog and my strength, energy and focus has continued to decline. I blamed it all on menopause.
I was a purist at one point, telling people that plant-based was better for their health. The engineering around this is huge - "we've got to be kind to the animals, we have to give them all long happy lives, eat your five a day, fresh fruit and vegetables are so good for you..." Even looking up the melting points of plant and animal fats had me pondering what was true.
I feel a lot of pity for this guy because the vegetables have clearly diminished his critical thinking skills. And to be honest, nutrition is not my speciality so I forgive myself for being easily fooled. I'm also grateful for the Carnivore MDs and Influencers for being bold enough to speak the truth (Thank You).
So yes, we absolutely do need to be kind to the animals - give them excellent nutrition and a natural environment, top-class regenerative farming, treat them well, and slaughter them in the least stressful way whilst giving thanks for the life they've given up to be on our plates.
My health has practically hit the floor - migrating onto carnivore next week.
lol, I went vegan in 2017 too but I had too many health problems in 2018 and late 2018 I switched to carnivore, still going strong :)
@@Meathead-10810 I cooked up some ground beef last night (still have to get the proper supplies in) but my meal was primarily meat. Noticed how much more I am able to think this morning!! I wonder how all these vegans are still standing! Well done you 😁💕💫
You won't regret it, you'll very soon see and feel the evidence for yourself, we did and don't regret that decision!
@@joannecastelnoble8898 Thank you so much for your encouragement and support. Having a rather bad morning with symptoms and that really helped!
Excited for you! I went carnivore at 63 and feel terrific 3 years later. I was vegetarian for decades but the body is incredibly forgiving. I have so much respect for it now. Wish you all the best! 🎉
I used to follow vegan and at one point a vegetarian diet... I felt like I was becoming brittle all of the time, and just two months ago, I started carnivore, and I'm feeling like a freaking beast again. No tired and wobbly legs. I don't feel like I was in a car crash when I wake up. The funny thing is I felt so bad, yet I would preach to others about eating vegan to feel better when I myself didn't feel better.
Thank you for sharing! I'm really glad you were open enough to give this a try and reap the benefits.
Same here mate
A lot of people struggle to get out of bed, and struggle through their day thinking their body needs caffeine or else it will just collapse. Chances are, they have too many sugars in their diet and are experiencing constant crashes, along with minimal nutritional absorption. I know when I went (mostly) carnivore, all of that went away and I now don't have caffeine at all (unless I have a "cheat" day and the beverage happens to contain caffeine).
That's badass! I hope you're not too embarrassed to say it out loud to folks you recommended veganism to
This is the default position of vegans. Lie about the diet. Because they have so little truth.
How many supplements were you on? Include every multivitamin in that. Carnivore has everything needed, zero supplements in nearly 7 years now. Thats got to say something.
I have always been aware that certain plants are toxic, for instance, nightshades. And somehow I was always reluctant to go vegetarian. Never even considered veganism. But one of your videos, Dr. Chaffee, opened my eyes to the fact that ALL plants have some kind of chemical defense. That was more than a year ago, and it was the kick I needed to go from keto to carnivore. That was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Thank you, Dr. Chaffee, for spreading this valuable information.
That's great to hear! I'm really glad that you made the change and that it helped so much!
I saw his video on that about ten weeks ago, and changed instantly from keto to carnivore instantly, many health benefits followed
The nightshades are the worst. I've eliminated them from my eating regime. Potatoes Peppers etc. Used to get a reaction straight away.
Vegetables don't harm us? Tell that to my gut, which gave me almost constant pain for YEARS. Since the first day of my carnivore diet I have been without pain in my gut, which has been a miraculous and total reversal, from sickness to health.
I woke up feeling grumpy every morning for a long time .I had my first carb free carnivore meal and I was transformed. I had the best day I had in years! Way more energy, less reactive to stressful confrontational situations less more stable on my feet and after a hard day replacing a roof I was able to enjoy gassing my dogs out on a trail run and do my first heavy lifting exercises iv done in years! Im doing more research on what and when to eat. Thanks for covering this topic, and thanks for quoting Thomas Sowell.
I hope Dr. Chaffee makes other videos like this. Responding to people who are so confidently incorrect. I admit when I first heard him say plants were trying to kill you , I thought he was crazy till I tried carnivore myself. Thanks Dr. Chaffee for doing what you do!!
No problem! And thank you very much, I'm glad I could bring you around and that you were open minded enough to consider something different!
@@anthonychaffeemd Please go after Lifting Vegan Logic!
@@tinknal6449 that would be awesome if he did that, or even just reached out to people that arent meat based and did some videos or podcasts with them.
So confidently incorrect" describes most vegans I've encountered.
@@anthonychaffeemd While Dr. Chaffee did a video refuting his carbs and honey/fructose intake, I'd pay top dollar PPV to see Dr. Chaffee in a friendly debate with Dr. Saladino about his carbs and fructose eating. Because I'd like to know if a healthy, metabolically flexible person can eat a little certain type of fruit or fatty fruits now and then(Avocado's and Olives). Can we carnivores have a little variety now and then and not sweat it?
Im a ex vegan…a new one…and im currently healing myself on a carnivore diet.
You're not the only one either. Keep it up!
I'm glad to hear that you were open enough to give it a try! That takes a lot of willpower and conviction. Good luck with it, I know that you will feel better than you ever have in your life before more
Here's 2 more, hubby (68) got RA last year, went from hand digging trenches to can't get his t-shirt on or off and needed help to stand up, couldn't twist the lid of a milk bottle for 5 months, all because of the autoimmunity response to vegetarian diet I believe now.
Dr's answer (a "specialist we had to wait 3 months to see cause of how many people are sick) was cortisone and mild dose chemotherapy drugs, ahhh no thanks!!
I researched for a month, came across carnivore, and Dr Chaffee THANK YOU, 🙏
6 months later he's 100% healed, no RA, no Autoimmune disease response in his body, inflamitory markers down from 65 to 2 😅 (anything over5 is considered high)
Dr said wow the chemotherapy is really working then, Hub said oh I didn't touch that, Dr: confused, well what did you do?
Hubby: changed my diet, now I'm carnivore and will never go back.
Myself, I obviously did it with him and my IBS all gone too!! I'm also so so much stronger and my muscle tone is returning.
I thought WFPB was the correct diet for humans, I was wrong!, they that still believe that, ARE wrong but just don't know it yet!!! SICKNESS, DISEASE, AND PAIN will convince them one day, or they'll blindly suffer and die like millions sadly are.
I'm a former WFPB and my friend told me about this for arthritis. As soon as I get to store to buy meat, I'm doing it too.
@@rosemaryraplar8 I went carnivore about 10 weeks ago, from keto, I finished keto with a 12 day fast, and after 3 days carnivore my arthritis seemed to disappear. My walking improved from about 3000 steps with pain to 11000 steps with no pain, but since then the arthritis has returned, I suspect because I resumed some plant foods, palm oil, MCT oil, apple cider vinegar and a couple others. But not much, just a little and oddly fluctuating, I have to stop all those foods again. Strange though, 5he doctors tell us that some joint stuff has worn out, it must all be lies, I mean wrong, because it stops with carnivore
Bro, all I know is that I'm on day 5 of Carnivore and I can't believe it so far. 6ft - 192lbs 42yo M - day 1 (soccer player type build). Now 183lbs with moderate exercise (as always) - 9lbs!!. My muscles haven't shrunk, just my stomach. Last 2 days been waking up before my alarm clock feeling fresh! I decided to try this for the claims of no more/less joint pain/inflammation as my knees/back/elbows just kill me some days and want to feel better overall. I always ate tons of veg with grilled meats with moderate grains but felt sluggish. Now feeling like a champ after my meat only meals. This 30 day challenge may just go longer! Cheers Dr. AC!
That's so great to hear! Definitely keto going with it, you'll just continue to feel better and better as you go
Sounds like my story - just a bit older and a hockey guy instead. Had sleep issues since I was 10. Have a CPAP, tried everything for years and it "helped" sometimes, but like you, after 2 days, I couldn't believe what actual sleep was!
@@icebox_Intruder That's awesome man! I'm now on 7 months straight carnivore. Total weight loss - 29lbs and I'm maintaining my new weight without an issue. I'm fckin shredded right now like I was in my early 20's. Everything I stated in my first comment is 10x better!! I love hearing success stories like yours regarding sleep - great job man!
This is amazing . I’m rollin . Literally laughing in my wheelchair while listening . I’m gonna prove and show this man is correctly educated and not just giving opinions on emotions.
I’m a T 2 complete paraplegic over 50 over weight and just cleaned up type 2 diabetes . I live with debilitating degenerative pain. I will show how my body confined to a chair limited in exercise transforms naturally with the proper diet eliminating the bullshit that I have been doing on and off all my life. I have educated myself and determined to finish this race fit and properly nourished . I love this country and would sacrifice everything for it . On the other hand I’m saddened and disturbed over the research I’ve done over last few years on our food and nutrition education to us and for our children. Thank you Dr .
Chaffe you are the man. Your videos, and videos from others like yourself, inspired me to go mostly carnivore. I can say I'm now 90% carnivore (for 18months).
I'm a 38 year old male, suffered inflammation, back pain, gut issues, bloating, brain fog and midday crash for as long as I can remember. I was not even overweight. Also had trouble sleeping for the last decade. All gone now, and I feel like I'm in my teens again. I noticed my weight is the same, but I have less body fat and more muscle mass.
The results I'm seeing are undeniable, and nothing Dr Idz (or others like him) can say will make me go back. The proof to me are my own results.
That's great, I'm really glad to hear you're doing so well! And yes, the only thing that matters are results, not his false analogies and junk research papers
You are Awesome! Before I found you and heard about the Carnivore Diet...I was eating 3 bags of spinach a week....thinking I needed to eat more and more to be healthy. I didn't know that was what was making my feet and hands swell sooooo bad. I could hardly walk and close my fists. I finally decided to try keto because my coworker told me about it and about the Carnivore diet. I started on keto and most of my inflammation went down in 3 days. I was flabbergasted! I seen you and few other Carnivores on here and had to switch into Carnivore. I am starting to feel much better now! I also am now quitting coffee...I think this is the hardest part of the whole transition...but from what you said I really believe you are not only correct but you make sense in everything you say. I really appreciate you sharing all this knowledge for the world to see.❤❤❤
did you cook the spinach?
I’m new to carnivore and have spent weeks researching and learning the truth about meat.
I’m not full carnivore yet, but getting there.
What I’ve learned so far is astonishing.
We’ve been lied to all these years…
Yes, we have
I just saw this documentary about overweight children in the UK. As a solution they are now introducing 'healthy' meals in school: broccoli, beans, beets, carrots with rice etc etc. and introduce it like they were the hero's saving everyone. I was thinking to myself, oh these poor kids....
@@PannieHomelife-carnivorenot my kids, 🥩 🥩 🥩 🥚
@@X2017b that's awesome 👍👍
and now you're being lied to again.
So his position is 'they are not toxic, but if they are, it's okay, it's good for the body'. Way to come to the table with solid information. Also, the common thought among people who don't see it is that either a plant kills you on the spot, or it is perfectly safe. No possibility that the health problems can be cumulative or contribute to disease unknowingly.
Absolutely!
Many « Doctors » have Egos, and don’t like to be challenged! You are open minded! Keep up the good work Dr. Chaffee 😊
Absolutely. The ones who think they know everything about everything are generally the ones who know the least
I could write a book about my encounters and arguments over the years with medics 🤨 I wish more were pushed off their pedestal for all the harm they cause and maybe now more realise as they have seen what's really been going on as they see the truth coming out in general over oh, you know, the past hmmmm, three years 😉
That's how school works after the 1800s, and especially medical schools after the 1960's. They blow smoke up your ass so you think you are hot shit being compliant.
I’m almost 69. The carnivore diet has been so health givingly beneficial and positively remarkable for me and my girlfriend. My skin is so much better with conditions I have had since childhood, such as inflammation, scaling and itchiness and dandruff as well as age spots just disappearing. My cognitive abilities I notice are much improved. No brain fog. Muscle strength and tone and a good body shape is happening too. I wish to sincerely thank Dr. Chaffee for his thorough, truthful very highly commendable professionalism shown in his inspiring, fascinating and so helpful videos. I hope one day to thank him personally. Adopting his advice I feel very confident can really help you too! Thank you so very much Dr Chaffee. ! 🙏🏻
I appreciate how you calmly stated facts rather than trying to make him look like an idiot, as he did, ironically making himself appear as one.
Yeah the facts speak for themselves. I'm glad you liked it!
Switching to a mostly red meat diet was one of the most eye-opening and life-changing decisions I've ever made. My overall well-being skyrocketed to a level I never thought possible. It's hard to defend contrary views against such a profound personal experience.
Medicine denies personal stories as 'anecdotal'... The only thing relevant is clinical studies. I think personal stories are the key way that humans learn and think I would learn more from a hundred personal stories than read a paper about 100 people in a clinical trial.
You mean you removed the rubbish from your diet, lost weight and now feel better. It's not purely because of the meat.
I was interested in trying carnivore diet for a bit but it was your talk "Plants are trying to kill you" that gave me the final kick to do it. Now after nearly three months I have more energy, better focus, clearer thinking, better sleep, more positive mood, nearly no soreness after workout, insane recovery after workout, improved skin...
So thanks a lot! Even if it weren't true that plants are toxic, they clearly aren't good for me.
@@Electrodexify in the other comment you claimed meat is not alkaline. But since I still got the benefits it logically follows that either it is not true or alkaline/acidic has nothing to do with these benefits. 🤷♂️
Same here! I have been a carnivore, (previously keto) for about 3 months. I played in a Pickleball tournament yesterday and noticed that most players were wiped out before the final rounds. They were eating carbs between matches. I could have happily played a few more games.
Sadly, I had spent a ton of money putting in raised garden beds last spring! The only thing thing in them are my chickens scratching around for bugs!
That's amazing, I'm so happy to hear that!
I was vegan for almost 5 years. I ate a wfpb diet over 90% of the time, took all the supplements and ate the superfoods, did all the things… yet I got terrible sick… depression, anxiety, severe stress, I was a complete disaster emotionally… brain fog, memory issues, cognitive issues , I developed digestion problems, skin rashes, skin sensitivities, temperature regulation issues, I sunburned within 10 minutes, joint pain from hell, swelling, tooth sensitivity, eyesight issues, hair and nails were horrific, migraines, severe pms, pain during sex, urination issues…and more. Within months of truly cutting out plants to a minimal amount and eating a high animal based diet, all of these issues disappeared! They’re gone! The only thing I have issues with now is bladder issue flare ups. So yeah.
Bladder issues probably due to Oxalate dumping I’m also going though this
I'm so glad to hear that you are doing so much better! Keep it up, it just gets better from here
Earth Mamma, did you go cold turkey, or decreased your plant consumption as Sally Norton recommends to.
@@poqwa I gradually decreased my plant food. In the beginning it was still very hard for me to eat animal products again due to my strong conviction of it being morally wrong. So it took a while to get rid of all plants. My bladder issues started while I was vegan and did get better after animal based eating. I really only get flare ups when I eat more non animal based foods.
@@foxyauragems6146 I thought about this too, but my bladder issues started when I was vegan and got better with animal products… I have a strong inclination that certain plants are the culprit, such as nightshades. Chocolate is also a trigger. I think I might have interstitial cystitis.
4 months ago I started on the carnivore diet after watch Dr Anthony's video 'Plants are trying to kill you!', I've never felt better and currently dropping 3kg per month and 18kg to ideal weight.
The only change I've made from five years on keto to now carnivore was ditching plants but the benefits keep amazing me every month seams to get better! The title 'Plants are trying to kill you!' got my attention, thanks Doc from Brisbane.
Hey that's great! Very glad to hear that
When I was a kid, I would puke when my grandmother cooked lentils by the smell that spreads. Our bodies tell us right.
I thought it was hilarious that he was wearing a stethoscope the whole time. Like, "Look at me guys, im really a doctor!".
Haha Right? Doesn't he know that anyone can just buy one of they want to
You're right I didn't even notice lmao. So cringe.
Although I am a huge fan of takedown videos, I must say I prefer your calm, non-combative style to more vitriolic voices in the keto/carnivore space. Many thanks for your time and expertise.🙏👍🏽👏🏼🖖
I was not totally vegan and ate LEAN meats, very low fat and ate lots of fruit and green/fruit smoothies for about 10 years. I was bloated, gassy and struggled with weight, then I started having extreme fatigue. So after researching I discovered Carnivore, been on it for about two months and I’m feeling much better and have lost weight and don’t have the before mentioned issues anymore. I know from my own experience which works best.
Maybe most are fine with, like we are in the past, with a small side of vegetables. But this thing we are doing now of smoothies or juices with a pound of spinach, for example, is unnatural and dangerous. Common sense tells us this isn’t normal.
Been a Carnivore for 12 months plant and fruit free, never felt better. This guy can have my spouts
😂
Paul Saladino eats fruit
I just heard this from another Carnivore doctor, forgot his name, but he made a great point about how a very large % of the plant foods we eat today are completely brand new types of plants that were genetically modified and yet they say we need what's in these foods?
Yeah exactly. Even if we did evolve to eat certain plants, which plants were they? Because none of the plants we are eating today existed 50,000 years ago, or even 50 years ago for some of them. How can we require something that didn't even exist when we were evolving? Doesn't make any sense.
Yep. Back when I was eating wheat, I would be in major pain and bloat when I ate my homemade bread products that I was so addicted to. I found the ancient grain Kamut which was discovered in Egypt and used them and no pain. Don’t get me wrong, I am down to coffee and avocado as my only plant foods and will be eliminating those soon. But I really liked this comment and wanted to share my experience.

This guy did that classic thing that a lot of people in media do, he said: It's not true, but if it was that is actually a good thing.
Great video Doc, I'm glad you showed us the whole video before addressing any of it. I can't stand reactions that pause constantly, halfway through sentences, then get their whole point wrong in the reaction. It's like seeing a debate but imagine both sides get to interrupt the other one whenever they want.
Thank you! And I agree, you need to see the full argument and then address it. It's easier to follow for me anyway. What's crazy here is that he says certain things are not true without having a damn clue one way or the other. The fact that he can do this so casually means that he can do it with anything, and you cannot trust a word he says
It's good to see more people recognising this tactic. "It's not true, but it is true, and that's a good thing". Peak sophistry.
Dr. Chaffee laid the smack down on Dr. Idz. It goes to show that the Dr. in front of a name doesn't mean anything. It all depends if they have the evidence to back up their claims. Dr. Chaffee came in guns blazing. Great reaction video. Would love to see more of these.
What a brilliant video! Thank you! I'm flabbergasted to see that even mainstream sources openly tell people what the truth is, and yet they still don't believe it if it doesn't serve their needs 🤣
Thank you very much!
Just brilliant, as always! I can't adequately express how much I appreciate your calm, reasonable and straightforward delivery of the carnivore message. And I would love to see you do more of these debunking videos. Lord knows there's no shortage of nonsense to choose from! Thanks for what you do Dr. Chaffee, please don't ever stop!!
Thank you very much, I really appreciate that!
lol he has a stethoscope around his neck to imply authority. i just can't...🤣
Haha, I know right? Dude is just a cheap gimmick
I still have mine from when I was an EMT back in the mid-"80's...perhaps I should start doing videos...
That is my first impression
Same with Dr. Faucc bunch of clown doctors pushing big pharma/ big corporation.
We can all just buy some online real cheap 😂
geez, after watching some of your vides I'm totally blown away. I don't think I'm able to express how grateful I am. I started my carnivore journey only a week ago. Today I found gras fed beef from Ireland at the local Lidl and I love it! Need to set up a Patreon for the first time ever. Thank you
Wow. I have to say, Anthony, this was an extremely well presented rebuttal. And the best kind as well. Very respectful, very funny, and very devastating. i don't normally comment on vids like this, but I just wanted to give praise here since I do enjoy this format and presentation style of yours. I think it suits you well. I especially appreciate the humor regarding hormesis.
It seems like anything that is supposed to be associated with anything bad or undesirable with meat like cholesterol or saturated fat or protein, even though these are all actual nutrients that the body actually needs, is sufficient reason to not eat animal sourced foods. But any real toxin that the body has zero requirement for or even demonstrated benefit of such as phytotoxins, fiber, and antinutrients are somehow supposed to make us superhuman.
Go figure.
Thank you very much for that! And yes I agree, it simply flies in the face of common sense, let alone the hard facts. But the truth is getting out there, no matter how hard these corporate and government entities try to push the opposite narrative. I'm glad you liked the video!
Man, I am so happy I came across your channel. My son is carnivore, and so am I. Your channel is easy to understand and inspirational. Big thanks! ❤
I'm on a carnivore diet around 1 month. I lost 20lbs and felt great. No more carb (plants) and no more sugar for me. For years I couldn't lose belly fat because I ate carbs and sugar. I'm eating just meat now and my belly is getting smaller. Thank God. I'm so happy now. Thank you for sharing the carnivore diet. It saved me.
Good for you Dr Chaffee, don't let ignorant clueless critics go without challenge. Stand your ground with science.
Thank you!
Very well done Dr Chaffee backed by proof, knowledge and years of doing. 🙋♀️💜💜💜
Thank you for speaking out and putting this guy in his place.
You're welcome, I'm glad you liked it!
@@anthonychaffeemd Dr Anthony! been watching you for a while. Starting carnivore todayyy.
@@joefries7046Blessings to you!
You are bringing receipts. Grateful and thankful you are teaching the truth. Keep on sharing. God bless you!
Thank you very much Jill! Please pass this along to help get this ignorance out of the world.
I have a 16 yr old daughter who is autistic and we started carnivor diet 6 days ago and she has had issues with major salivation all day to the point I gat her a spit cup to try and catch the most of what didnt cover her shirt by end of the. day. Any how It is waaaayyy better like she may only have a tiny bitt. There was days she would spit every where on the floor stairs carpet . It was sooo bad . But wow its like night and day. Thanks to everyone who brought out carnivor. She even says i need to avoid oxilates.😊
This is a wonderful piece of information. Thank you Anthony!
Not anyone who hangs a stethoscope around the neck can go in the ring with Dr.Anthony Chaffee,he knows his stuff....💪😃
Happy to see people like you... putting yourself out there and getting this information out. And to have all of the knowledge to back it up. Thank you for sharing in a humble, respectful and easy to understand way.
Well than you very much, I appreciate that. And I'm glad that you find my videos helpful!
Brilliant response to the little man with the big attitude. I've only ever seen him a few times before & he has always presented as that little upstart at school who thought he was it & a bit because mummy or daddy were 'someone important' & that then made them important. I just found your channel recently after looking at carnivore diet videos & I must say that I'm impressed with your presentation of the history, the science & the results based facts on the benefits of this lifestyle. So much so that I'm now jumping on board with this straight away. I used to eat a mainly carnivore based diet when I was growing up & living at home now that I think back. It was once I moved out & began life as an independent adult that I adjusted my diet to be inline with the 'well balanced' SAD which was being strongly pushed here in Australia in the 1990s. Especially by my then girlfriend who was always saying that she didn't want to plan a life with someone who was hellbent on having a heart attack. It wasn't until I recently watched your videos (& others like yours from people like Ken D Berry) that I realised that my change in dietary intake pretty much aligned to the same time as when I began to experience autoimmune disease like psoriasis & IBS. & when I also went from being a young, strong, athletic buck with boundless energy & great vigour & strength to a far weakened & much more lethargic version of that person. The most remarkable & sudden drop off in strength & condition though, has been recently when I got suckered into trying to become vegetarian. I just thought that it was because I was hitting my 50's & this was the ageing process. Could possibly still be that? I can only pray that I can undo some of that damage & restore myself somewhat (30 years later) by switching back to the diet that was what I pretty much grew up with & what I now know to be the diet I should always have been on. Thank you so much for the work that you are doing. BTW, if you ever operate in Melbourne hospitals I might actually get to meet you. I work in theatre here. Looking forward to catching you in the next video I watch.
Dr. Chaffee you may be just the right person to finally allow me to go Keto, or even Carnivore! I watched your video where you talk about the length of our telemeres at birth, and your comment that if you die before 120 you've been killed. WOW!! That thought is sticking with me. And I just turmed 60, so your saying I may live another 60 years. Whoo-hoo! (Something I'd really only would want to do WITH the healing benefits of ketones!) Thanks for all the pep talks so far...and wish me luck! Dr. Wortman and Dr. Fettke are also on my support team, as well as Fung and Schmidt. But your my "no nonsense" fav!!! I really appreciate that as a Virgo. 😊
That's great to hear! I'm really glad I could help encourage you in the right direction. You won't regret it, you'll only be upset that you didn't start earlier!
@@anthonychaffeemd 🥰❤👍👍
Dr. Chaffee is channeling his inner Bart Kay. Well done!😀
😂😂😂
I'm a fan of Bart but this was a very clinical job By Dr Chaffee. Beautifully executed.
@@simonround2439 Chaffee is nothing like Bart. I was just trying to be funny. I don't eat plants.😎
@@OhioGalReads it was funny. That's why I replied 🤣
Slightly less sweary… But I’d love to see Bart take on this Idz buffoon.
Dr Idz has made handful of videos about me in a similar fashion; cherry picking a 30-60 second clip, and using "data" to support his claim. Keep educating brother.
Seems to be his MO. The guy has no class, and it appears no sense or education either
Dr. Chaffee, thanks for all you do! Been listening to you on various platforms. Have not seen this question answered: Is there a type of water you recommend?
Having a sometimes twisted view of platitudes, I've always insisted, "That which does not kill you, cripples you for life!"
Brilliant retort Dr Chaffee. Your closing comments about his hubris is right on the money. Since 2013 when I was promoted to scientific research officer for my union, I came across so many arrogant pontificating nobs, just like this fellow. I found truth and fact rarely had any weight with them, but the the funding for them or financial impact made a massive contributing factor to their pontification.
Thank you Dr. Chaffee for your expert response and listing the eye-opening documentation!
My pleasure!
Since I was very young I never liked vegetables or greens. I only used to eat meat. My parents never pushed fruit and veg on me and as a result (maybe), I never got sick, never had allergies or any disorders whatsoever and have always been naturally healthy. About 10 years ago, I started eating a lot of greens and veg as I thought it would improve my overall health. About a year ago I realised it wasn't beneficial at all and went back to mainly meat diet. You can't believe the health benefits associated with not eating veg or greens and processed carbs. Coupled with being completely teetotal, I feel superior compared to other men around me. Dr Chaffe speaks the absolute truth!!
Well done, you! I am also a teetotaler, and my health is well-loved my peers,especially since I found Keto in 2018, and now carnivore.
You're Awesome!!! Dr. Chaffee. After my thyroidectomy i had to do research because I literally felt like food was killing me and my endocrinologist couldn't answer any of my questions. I dont trust the healthcare industry. I was keto and transitioned to carnivore 2 weeks in , because of your videos. I enjoy watching you and Elle. ❤
1) Another helpful video - thanks!
2) I tried being carnivore a couple of years ago; at the time, for some reason, it didn't stick, possibly because I was already eating a largely-animal-based diet, so there weren't any dramatic effects... no great difference from how I'd been feeling on my usual diet. I've been thinking about trying it again, and have decided to ease back into it by doing *carnivore weekends* for a while, i.e., eating only animal based foods (and drinking only water) on Saturdays and Sundays.
That sounds like a good plan. I would also urge you to eliminate all seed oils, grains and sugars from your diet. After awhile, you’ll realize that veggies aren’t really giving you nutrients that you can’t get from animal products.
Thank you! And that's a great plan, you should do what you feel is right for your body and what you feel you can maintain long-term. That's the trick, making something a way of life
@@jeannedigennaro6484 Hi, Jeanne. I completely agree.... I did that a few years ago, and it was very beneficial.
Your message is 1000x more powerful and logical, this rebuttal only made me more convinced to continue my amazing carnivore journey! Thank you Dr. Chaffee!
Ok glad you thought so! Thank you very much!
Never knew I had issues with food until a vegetable had sent me to the hospital. Maca root, consumed it for said benefits back when I was keto. All I had was insane illness!! Bloody stool and vomiting. Only way to fix it was to fast and drink bone broth which helped the most. All plants have toxins, that was my sign.
As always, thank you so much for this life-changing information!! 🙏🧡💯
Oh my word @dr_Idz "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" Are you absolutely kidding? Not sure that comparing exercise and Brussel sprouts is a good idea either. I wouldn't know where to start eating plants now- 7 months carnivore- keep the plants in the ground- they have it in for us.Yes, a little bit of information is a very dangerous thing. Thank you Dr Chaffee, once again- clear precise and accurate response.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!
Thanks to you Dr Chaffee I no longer eat vegetables, I always said I felt bloated and had terrible gas when I ate them,now I understand why
That's great! Glad I could help!
OH MAN I’m glad you tore this guy up! His stuff has been popping on UA-cam.
This is so interesting I'm going to have to watch your videos now. I appreciate you bringing in the evidence to back up your findings. There's conflicting info about EVERYTHING now in this information age.
No problem, it's important to back these things up with hard evidence instead of just sling accusations
Dr. Chaffee you should have a million subscribers! Thank you for telling us the truth the world so badly needs.
Thank you very much!
The more reach you attain, the more this will happen. I see so many people on your instagram trying to school you about "proper nutrition", it's only going to get worse. Way to keep it classy with this reaction video. So many people try to defend plants without any knowledge, its so damn annoying. I can say that I don't try to explain my way of eating because too many people are too programmed to eat sad, but when someone see's my before and after and asks how, I tell them. I have helped a couple women my age -56 change and I love seeing what a difference it makes for us post menopausal women. It's a staggering difference.
Well done. I think that's the right way if doing it, just keep your head down and let your results speak for itself
I agree with you. Thought veggies were good for me and ate the organic "healthy" ones as I was misled to believe along with healthy meats and fats, but could not get well! When I finally came to these sites and saw carnivore, I thought it was extreme. I had a bit of cognitive dissonance at first. How could everything I have learned from childhood to now be wrong?!
But thankfully, I am a critical thinker and knew that something was causing my issues and it was clear to me that plants DO have anti nutrients to protect themselves. Hardcore plant eaters believe you can get all the toxins out with soaking and cooking. They also think you can get all your nutrients from plants. When I went all plant base years ago, I was the sickest I had ever been in my life! After adding back in animal products, I got better. I took out some plants like grains and nightshades years later. Got better but not all the way. So when I saw carnivore way of eating, I think internally it seemed logical but I still wanted to think the vitamins and nutrients in some plants were necessary to life.
But, the inflammation and pain still nagged me. I finally decided the only way to find out if what these wacky carnivores were saying is true is to go 100% all in.
I am in, but it is going a bit bumpy. I am having a bit of oxalate detox and having to watch electrolytes. But overall, everything is getting better and I am having less and less inflammation and pain. 🎉👍🏻 57 by birth, 47 by health!! 😉
i get the same thing all the time. getting attacked for my way of eating. but the results speak for themselves. I even am a member in a crohns forum and was attacked for trying to tell people my story. because I have crohns disease. Actually im off meds now since I started the carnivore diet because I no longer have inflammation anymore after i was done a colonoscopy last year.
I've grown up consuming various food categories, particularly with respect to the book "Fit For Life" (by Diamond), which - among other things - recommends water-based foods (veggies etc). But still, my body (stomach in particular) was telling me that something wasn't right. Since watching your videos, I've pivoted towards daily meat intake (beef, chicken, salmon) and near-zero vegetables. I also now consume plenty of eggs, so I'm not 100% carnivore but I can sense an improvement in gut health and a reduction in my body fat level. Thanks for your life-changing videos.
Booooom! Way to go Doc. This is how you respond to misinformation, Great job!
My whole family is Carnivore 100% no bs.
I got a 5 year old and a 2 year old. Wife is a dietitian and pregnant with the 3rd.
I can literally say we are all super healthy in comparison to people around us. We don't get sick and We always have energy. My kids have TOO much energy. Maybe I should give them some candy so they at least have some down time after the sugar high! Haha JK
Hi mate, how does your 2 year old react to carnivore? I'm thinking about getting my wee ones on it.
@@neolithicwoodsrunner we've been Carnivore a little more than a year so she is the one that does the best. The smaller you get them to eat proper human food, the easiest it is afterwards. She eats butter like there's no tomorrow, loves meat and pork belly.
I got a 5 year old who did get to taste other types of food back when we ate everything. We had a diet since my wife is a dietitian but he still was able to taste cake, pizza, spaghetti etc. No candy though. He sometimes asks about eating those types of food but we have talked to him and explained how bad things can get if you eat anything other than animal based food.
We have gotten creative though, we make waffles cakes, cupcakes, brownies, pasta, pizza etc all animal based to ease this transition since we take him to birthday parties or parties at school and there is always junk food around so we take him something from home.
That's fantastic, I'm so glad to hear that you are all doing so well!
Dr. Idz sounds like an Idziot. Thanks Dr Chaffee for all the great information you put out. I can't even begin to tell you how much Carnivore is changing my life. Thank God for Dr's like you ❤
Haha nice! I like that. And you are very welcome, I'm really glad that you're doing so well with this. #DrIdziot
😅Good comment LOL
Oh just a reminder the more populair you become and the more we are fighting against a world that pushes towards eating insects and veganism the more hate like this youre gonna get. Great way how you handled this, absolutely amazing but just a warning "the vegans will come for you and they will try to make fun of you". So what i want to say is that youre doing a phenomenal job absolutely love it, but be aware off these type of people will keep coming at you and it should never stop you❤
Just simply listening to this fella talk I'm able to pick up by the sound of his voice and the look in his eye that he's just trying to make money off UA-cam videos. Thanks for the work you do and that you care about what people eat and their health
No problem! And he just got an official reprimand for taking money from the American Beverage Association to make videos saying artificial sweeteners are safe or even beneficial, which is a very bad look.
@@anthonychaffeemdWow. Integrity, anyone?
Thank you so much for all the information -TRUTH- you are getting out. Since at a very young age I have ALWAYS wanted to eat only the meat off my plate and nothing else. I should’ve stayed with my smart human instincts. So glad I have awakened at the age of 53!
I should have as well!
Thank again for your work Dr Chaffee! In my opinion we should not spend too much time on people who insist on being fools. I think you help a lot of people listen with just being the cool, calm dude that always just presents facts. Believe me I WAS SUPER sceptical about carnivore. But just hearing you explain it in a level headed, calm way with facts made me try it. I normally run like hell from people who preach like mad so I think your approach has always been the best for getting people to listen.
Oh btw I am pretty sure your instagram is getting nerfed and shadow banned. Metrics and comments seem a little slow lately.
Thank you very much! And yes, IG and especially UA-cam have been throttling and shadow banning me for a year now. People on here are saying that even when they search for my name and videos, nothing comes up on UA-cam even though they are subscribed. Hard To know what to do about that one, but I think it will rely on people like you finding them and sharing them with your friends and family directly. So thank you for the support!
Agreed we shouldn´t waste too much time on the nay-sayers, but it´s super important to debunk their nonsense for the newer carnivores and anyone just wanting the truth about the foods available to us. This is a much appreciated response from our amazing Dr. Chaffee.
Hang on he said "its not true that they have all these toxins" then later "the toxins have a hermetic effect" . Errr, which is it?
Haha exactly! Saying that they don't exist, but if they did exist they would be good for you. Probably the most illogical argument I have ever heard in my entire life.
Please do a video like this every day! Its the most ebtwrtaining thing ive heard in ages 😂 nice one Dr Chaffee 🙏🏻
one fact that everyone should know, is many common foods we eat were known to be poison, so the equivalent of selective breeding took place, example, 10 poor saps were chosen to eat the plant, 8 died, one almost died and one not so bad. the seeds were taken from the survivors, whose seed was assumed to be less poisonous, not that they had iron stomachs. when these less toxic plants were mature, another 10 people were chosen, one died, six were really sick, and four not so bad. and so on, until eating the plant no one was sick. even today, soy beans, olives, etc., have to be 'marinated' for days before they are 'edible', let alone palatable. Also, humans cannot eat raw plants with fiber, bans, etc., took the invention of fire and being cooked before we can digest them, along with farting. Finally, sugar causes high levels of bad cholesterol. And why do cows need to eat 24/7, while lions eat once a week?
So happy someone finally defending a meet based diet with facts.
Thank you Dr. Chaffee! Excellent rebuttal. I am ketovore/carnivore, and it has helped me tremendously. Is it true that some plants are helpful/medicinal ie, Reishi and Shitake mushroom blood sugar reduction/cancer prevention? Or peppermint for nausea, chamomile for tummy/calming, coffee enemas for liver cleanse? Ayahuasca for spiritual journey/growth? Or are these all also not evidenced based? I guess as a ketovore, I'm leaving myself open to using plants medicinally as needed.. if they work for me.
Plants have always been used medicinally. Dr Chaffee and other advocates of carnivore acknowledge this. It’s just that they are not generally good as food
Ayahuasca sure if you want to throw up for hours till your eyes are bloody.. way to spiritually “grow” I RHE I’ve sr Chaffee spoke about these 😅
Coffee enemas 😮 to “cleanse liver oh my
There are plants that have medicinal value. Like the bark of willow, when steeped in hot water, the concoction will relieve pain, due to substances that act much like aspirin. But meds are to be taken when needed, not at other times.
And dont try to clean your liver, it cleans itself.
@@Goldenhawk583 No need to give advice. I'm good.
I like this format Dr. Chaffee. I am celebrating my 1 year anniversary on carnivore. I was keto for 7 years prior so I know these results aren't due to the fact that I cut out carbs since I had already cut out anything above 20 grams.
1. Lost 20 lbs that I couldn't lose on keto.
2. Cured chronic migraines completely.
3. My knee pain is at least 80% better.
4. I can do strenuous mountain hikes without eating anything all day.
5. Tooth and gum health has improved.
6. I don't snore anymore.
7. My acid reflux has improved enough that I'm in the process of trying to come off PPI completely.
That's fantastic! I'm very glad to hear that
Respect for you Dr. Chaffee!!!
Please keep bringing your researched knowledge to the masses.
Thank you, I will try!
My older brother who ate mostly veggies just died a few days ago due to Colon Cancer.
I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope that you and your family are ok.
I quit 5 years of veganism ten years ago. Been carnivore for a few months. Been in the Paleo and keto community since quitting veganism. Paleo saved my life.
That guy said we aren't getting sick from plants. Can we take a look around at society please?
I always liked meat, as a child I didn't like fatty meat but loved lean meat. Always I was patronized about it. Gout was the boogey man, here they call it Kings disease and people think its caused by eating too much meat and drinking too much alcohol. Going carnivore is like a dream come true. I am not overweight (never was), don't have any conditions, healthy as a bull. Don't drink, don't smoke, never the less I was eating 100g (measured when raw) of white rise with half a kilo of pork meat and a few veggies every day. I couldn't sleep, I was falling asleep in the chair, the moment I lay down I can not fall asleep, soon as I went carnivore I started sleeping like a baby. Energy is better, over all I have only positives to say about it. Recently I had some blood work, my ldl is a little high (by the standarts) 4.31mmol/l but I am not concerned.
I have to say, that Dr. Anthony Chaffee's channel has been the best resource for me to learn about the carnivore diet and why it works. Thank you for taking the time to do your research and to link to the documentation that you mention in your videos.
One of the best rebuttals I've seen. Its good to see response videos or even debates because it prevents ideas from just being in an echo chamber, which can sometimes happen in the meat based community. Would be cool if you did some videos or podcasts with people outside the community, Layne Norton coming to mind😉
Haha the thought had crossed my mind
Full support.
Myself and my kids we don’t eat plants. When some of them grab some, they might have allergies. Only meat and eggs make them grow stronger and feel happy.
Plants give us oxygen and a myriad of other good things. But we don’t need to eat ‘em
Hey Anthony, what do you think of ursolic acid in rosemary?
I'm not familiar with that specifically, I'm sorry

He’s just envious of you Dr. C.
Thst is a Buddhist quote but very true☺️
I am an amateur botanist and love plants. Maybe that is a reason I am reluctant to eat them! Here in Miami we have the most toxic plants on earth. In my own yard I have a tree so toxic it can kill you without even touching it! Some plants can be powerful medicine for acute conditions, but imagine eating harmful toxins over and over. No one pours sand in your engine or hydraulic system and expects it to perform better. What I want to see is you debunking supposed raw vegans like the "Shane Sterling" guy who insists that ground up toxic plants make you younger. My rule has been do not eat roots, stems, leaves and seeds.
And if you have metabolic issues, you have to be extremely careful with fruits. People that are very fit can introduce a few fruits
Brilliant! I’m thankful to be in this community of healthy & educated people!
Thank you!
Four large prospective studies have recently reported on the associations of fruit and vegetable consumption with overall cancer risk. These results for all cancers provide some indication of potential public health impact, but need to be interpreted cautiously because they may be influenced by chance and confounding at cancer sites not thought to be linked to fruit and vegetable intake. There was no significant association of either fruit or vegetables with total cancer risk in the combined analysis of two Harvard cohorts (the Nurses' Health Study and the Health Professionals' Follow-up Study) or in the Japan Public Health Center-Based Prospective Study. In the EPIC study conducted in 10 European countries, there was a small but statistically significant reduction in total cancer risk associated with high consumption of both fruit and vegetables, which was largely due to associations with cancer sites caused by smoking and/or alcohol. In the NIH-AARP study, fruit was not significantly associated with cancer risk in men or women, and vegetables were not associated with risk in women; vegetables were inversely associated with cancer risk in men, but this association was not evident in an analysis restricted to never smokers. Together, these analyses of fruit and vegetables in relation to overall cancer risk indicate that there is little, if any, association except in relation to cancers caused by smoking and alcohol, and these associations might be due to residual confounding by these factors.
I just started my carnivore journey. Your videos helped me out alot. I do have one question though. Can the carnivore diet reverse my grey hairs? And if so, how does it reverse it?
Thank you! Maybe a little, but they would need to fall out and regrow with pigmentation. It may not though, it depends on the health of your hairs when you started, but it can slow the rest of it going grey from here
I have read a comment from one carnivore that her gray hairs now have dark roots! So once those dark roots get long enough, she will be able to cut off the gray ends!
