Born in 1954 here’s what I’ve seen that was different back in the 60’s and early ‘70’s growing up in rural Wisconsin: the majority of mothers stayed home and could provide home cooked meals for the family everyday; people had very little extra $ for food or anything else; all the farm families had garden that provided vegetables year round( fresh, canned, and frozen); kids got a lot of exercise walking/running/playing and riding their bikes; farm kids did more manual labor; parents didn’t helicopter raise their kids; very few town kids were driven to school- they walked; junk food was less available and in it’s infancy; treats were relegated to special occasions and often homemade; TV was only a few channels and had less appeal.😊
Thx for this. i agree. ..too much vegan vs meat propaganda today .. ignoring all the other factors like the ones you listed... And soil had more minerals... Food had less preservatives.. people ate fermented foods and got sunlight.. less pollutants in food..less medical interventions and drugs.. less processed foods..and people ate animal fats.
❓ We have a TV ? Where is it ? One kid. David used the cart to make somethin'. Where is it David ? 2nd kid. I did ? Dunno. 3rd kid. Our 3 teens in the family room when we said ESPN ? Great ! 1986
You so richly deserve an award for the work you do. Slogging through the internet's cesspool of misinformation and crackpottery to fish out the truth makes you as critical to national health as the surgeon general.
Having moved to a Mediterranean village and observed the lives of the (very) old people, I think we have missed a couple of points about the Mediterranean diet. For most of their lives these people were poor, they worked hard and did not eat much. They spent most of their time outdoors in the sunlight. Maybe the biggest factors in the Mediterranean diet are not what you eat, but the quantity, physical activity, and sunlight.
My blood boils when I see medical professionals go public with wildly unscientific claims, especially when it comes to cholesterol, the detrimental effects of which have been so unequivocally proven. Since they are professionals and have been exposed to the Framingham Study, it's difficult not to conclude that their motives are venal, that they've accepted bribes from Big Ag and agreed to spread false information. I only wish there was some legal means by which they could be held accountable.
Not just in health care. Judith Curry makes an interesting case study. Vulcanologist, struggling to get any funding for her volcano research. Turns to promoting fake climate science ideas for various fossil fuel companies. We have entered a new age where misinformation is a commodity you can make money from selling.
One of my dog walking buddies is a director at Google and he has decided to ask UA-cam to investigate Anthony Chaffee's UA-cam channel. Far as I can tell, Dr. Chaffee was never a pro rugby player, isn't a doctor, etc. Can anyone fact check me on that?
@@Viva-Longevity there's not enough censorship on youtube that you need to attack someone who has helped thousands of people? sorry that is not a good look on you.
@@sharkair2839 I'm not a fan of censorship, but if he's claiming to be a doctor when he isn't, that is the type of thing that can open up UA-cam to lawsuits.
Love this video! I am a 3rd generation Framingham participant. So lucky to be a part of it! And thank you for calling out some of my favorite influencers
As a Cardiothoracic Anesthesiologist for 20 years, the population that made it to the OR for bypass were smokers, diabetics or both. All were older and not active. I believe, smoking not included, the #1 risk factor is a sedentary lifestyle.
@@jeff911rn99 Excess carbs leads to weight gain and insulin residence, and then to DM2 in those genetically susceptible. DM2 with genetics leads to bypass. One doesn't get fat by eating. Olympic athletes eat 2X to 3X the Calories of a regular person.
Chris, you, your family, and this channel continue to be a beacon of hope for humans, animals, and the planet. I remain in awe of not only your intelligence, compassion, and many talents, but also your energy and stamina. You're a great role model, in so many ways. While unlikely, it would be a great pleasure to meet you in person one day. Keep up the great work.
@@AliceFarmer-bg4dw For some, it's about animal welfare. For some, it's about the environment. For some, it's about health. Then, for others, it's a mixture of those. No one can make a sweeping statement and say it's only about one thing. Also, reading "several comments" on UA-cam isn't valid research.
Wow! This video really got my attention. Back when I was 40 years old I was invited to a similar project at UMAS in Malmö, Sweden, called ”GÅS”, which reads ”goose” in english. It was all about getting older and the participants were called to do follow-ups every five years. Unfortunately I had to break up my engagement at the age of 65 when I moved to Colombia 🇨🇴. Being a professional nurse for four decades I was very interested in long term projects like the Framingham studies. Thank you hgris for this presentation of Framingham. It was a refreshing counterpoint to all the garbage on internet. ❤ Chaoito!
Chris I am not vegan..almost 80%..still working on it. I don't always agree with you but you convince me more on most that my mind conflicts with. I have read some of the books you talk about. I so respect & admire your hard work and dedication to giving us the truth proof on any given subject. Thanks for all your research that most are too lazy to look into...including myself.
The Framingham study is one I am highly uneducated on. Looking forward to the episode, and I plan on educating myself further. Thanks, Chris. P.S. I love the fact that you interview so many researchers - I wish I had the time (nearing the end of PhD...)
Can I ask a question, when using the risk assessment, why does Framingham consider HDLc significant? Or is that just the way it started? Everything I've read over the years focuses on LDL, and more recently, ApoB.
That's an incredibly good question. Dr. Levy does address that in his interview, which I'll post next week. There's a long history there because HDLc is associated with lower risk but it isn't causal of that risk. Confusing, I know.
Thank you Chris for being the voice of sanity in a sea of insanity (misinformation and disinformation), and thanks for calling out Hyman, Attia, Diamond, Teicholz, etc. Your channel is simply the best !
I just want to say THANK-YOU. The effort you put into your videos is so appreciated (by me and my healthy vegetarian 89 year old mom). God bless you! 🙏🙌
Me too. My mom is 90. She's been vegetarian since the Carter Administration, and she's been a smoker since the Eisenhower Administration. Not ideal but it must still be a slight net positive, because she's doing great, touch wood.
Your videos are all amazing and appreciated! I am also almost 72, and over the last 14 years lave permanently lost 120 pounds. Diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol and many other markers have all stabilized to normal levels. The best part of my day is at 6 or 8 AM when I hit the gym for a fast treadmill session and a swim 6.5 days a week. Your inclusion of the remarks about how obesity tends to happen by all the people around us and their habits really struck close to home. Indeed, practically all the people around me, family and life long friends were also overweight and I have watched almost all of them suffer all kinds of miseries, and pass away, all from dietary diseases and lifestyle choices. I should note that most all these people thought I ate a weird diet, and that I went to the gym too much. I was extremely fortunate years back to follow such people as Dr. McDougall, Dr. Barnard, Dr. Greger, yourself, and many others and I owe my very life to their work. In my view, all these people and others actually save lives, but suffer the consequences of low popularity compared to of all those who follow the clicks. Thanks again!
Oh my GOSH! 120 pounds, permanently!! 👏 💪 🎉 It's for people like you I make these videos. I'm 70 and see the same things you do; despite living in a healthy part of California, many of my friends are miserable and dying unnecessarily. I ski, run, bike, play tag with the grandkids, love the food I eat, but they think I have an eating disorder because I eat fruit, veggies, beans, whole grains and nuts in as natural a state as possible. 🤷♂️
@@Viva-LongevityEating disorder? That?!? 😅 What's next? Will people recommend you to rather be bulimic as a way not to gain weight and bad bloodwork? _Sorry to bother you with a rant but good thing I wasn't eating or drinking while reading this. Nothing went down the wrong way._
@@Viva-Longevity I pretty much followed John McDougall at the start and continue to do so. I Love my potatoes, and never get tired of them and the other very simple foods you mentioned. Asian and Hawaiian Purple Sweet Potatoes are 2 of my favorites. I love my Carbs! When I comment on that, most people think I lost my marbles! Your last video mentioned the Keto and carnivores all lost their minds over the study, so I checked one of those videos calling the study Insane and Oh my Gosh, they really did go wild! The stuff in the comments were amazing! Super high LDL's, and proud of it! I had to see it to believe it! Keep doing what you are doing!
21:42 You truly are a voice for science. I aspire to be too. A couple of years ago when I was in Texas trying to interview various doctors and having one flake on me because they were so busy + another telling me about how hectic his schedule is as a surgeon and another with an incredibly tight schedule I didn't think I was going to be able to squeeze into and another that I couldn't even reach until 3 days after I was supposed to leave, it was so hard to get them to slow down. The realization was, these legit doctors are so busy they don't have time to get on social media and that's why I'm doing what I'm doing by trying to interview them. Meanwhile irrelevant titlea are starting UA-cam channels pretending to be experts on nutrition when they're just exploiting a vulnerable population for views evidenced by them saying they are merely entertaining and then there's consequence of that entertainment. That's why your work is so important man, because you cover it so thoroughly, honestly, deeply, and professionally.
I agree with this UA-cam. I'm 67 and I've never been overweight and have Excellent health. I've been a vegan or vegetarian for most of 35 years and my blood tests/urine tests are normal with No problems. I eat 5 to 6 servings of raw fruits and vegetables a day. I've eaten raw fruits and veggies my entire life with No adverse effects on health. My daily salt, fat sugar intake is low, and my salt and sugar intake is especially low. I recently had a cardiovascular test that was positive, with No problems.
I really appreciate your channel. As a 40-year total plant-based man who's 60 years old in the USA, I've seen many fad diets promoting meat, protein and low carb. They all have failed in the longevity-run. I feel incredible and have infinite energy. I run 25 miles a week and keep a positive/happy attitude by laughing and bringing humor to whoever I meet. I have been posting positive community signs for the past 4 years. The Love Sign Guy is my alter ego and I've posted over 1,000 signs so far. It all starts from a compassionate lifestyle. I would love to be part of your mission to spread wisdom and informative data to the masses. I'm in The Villages of Central Florida. Thanks, and many blessings to you.
Please adopt me ❤ I paint rocks and anonymously place them around my city and also give them to people to take on their travels. Also do some guerilla gardening, planting and caring for flower and vegetable plants on land that is uncared for and accessible. I’m always worried someone will vandalize but so far so good! I just subscribed to your channel and can’t wait to watch your videos. Especially fasting videos. I do that too but can’t find anyone who doesn’t think it’s crazy.
Another hello from Central Florida, Wildwood specifically so we’re neighbors! There aren’t very many plant based options for eating out in The Villages
@@MS45636 Big colorful salad every day. That is the best way to live a long life (food wise) Running about 25 miles a week and lots of positive vibes is the topping. I try to cheer people up everywhere I go. That formula has me feeling and performing like I'm 30 years old. Many blessings to you
What a fantastic clap back to naysayers about the study. What angels to participate in and conduct a study purely for the betterment of man kind. As a dietetics student, I routinely have to sit for Beef Council presentations on marbeling through selection and they consistently blame the consumer for wanting that kind of beef. I would love a video on that organization and the work they do on the micro and macro level
I’ve been doing carnivore as an elimination diet for over 3 months mostly to address my brain fog which started to clear up after one week and now is almost gone, as is my anxiety as an unexpected bonus. I’ve never felt this level of calm. Totally new territory for me. I also don’t need to take naps anymore and my ice cream cravings are gone, which says a lot. I still have my cheat days when I go out but find I’m foggy the next day but I’m ok with that. For what it’s worth, friends I haven’t seen since starting this elimination diet asked what I’ve been doing because of how healthy I look, saying I look younger. One friend was in disbelief at the change to my skin and face. I had noticed some outward changes but didn’t know if I was imagining it, so their comments were unexpected but a confirmation. I was a smoothie girl for decades and always wondered why my joints hurt. I believe it was from the plant oxalates. My joint pain is hardly noticeable now, but it takes awhile to dump the oxalates from the years of eating the “good for you” vegetables and nuts. I have added back sourdough bread, sauerkraut, some berries and kefir a few times a week and a tablespoon of honey every few days. Before going on carnivore, this last year after learning about the high oxalates in vegetables and nuts, I cut out all smoothies and maybe had two salads the entire year out of guilt. Curiously, my yearly blood test was my best test in ten years. (Total shock and curiosity.) At this point, my goal is to eliminate high oxalate foods as they appear to have negatively impacted my health. I’m grateful to have found out about using carnivore as an elimination diet as I work toward a balance that works for me.
I increased animal based nutrition and decreased carbohydrates and eliminated seed oils ( using butter and olive oil only ) . Other plant based nutrition remained the same at 20% to 25% . Am doing better than ever ( physically and so mentally ) .
A very circumspect commentary! And an invaluable look at the Framington methodologies. This video felt like a bit of a crescendo. I can see how it builds upon previous videos and sort of encapsulates so many ideas that you've discussed before. I'm glad to see that you're not pulling any punches!!! 😆
What's absolutely perfect about this channel is asking the right questions and diving in deep as possible coupled with a perfect production mixed with a brilliant host that actually does it all. Damn IMVU

Biggest reason: Everyone ate a sit-down dinner at home. Kids often took home-cooked food for lunch or a sandwich. Mothers were home, so they had time to cook. Now almost no one eats a sit-down meal at home, and if they happen to eat at home, it's some fast food, or some microwave food. Eating relatively healthy food at home (even if not organic), was more relaxing, and the comfort of knowing your family was eating with you (and had your back), was much better than swallowing just anything. It led to better sleeping too.
I went vegan for ethical reasons, all that mattered to me was health was fine enough on a plant based diet. However, my LDL dropped from 140's to the 70's in two months. I didn't even eat whole foods like I'm supposed to..
I have studied Plant Chompers every video. For me, it seems that Plant Chompers is the best/the one basedconly on science channel on UA-cam among health channels. Please keep up the goodcwork!!
Nutrition Made Simple! is also great. Physionic is only slightly biased but some of his videos can be very interesting. I recommend them to help get you through the tough times before the next Plant Chompers video drops.
I am a health clinician. 64yo. It frustrates me that doctors not formally trained in nutrition and nutritional diseases, are aggressively promoting diets that are contrary to those recommended by National guidelines and established nutrition research institutes. The research is clear on what provides a longevity advantage....and yet some health professionals are still promoting the opposite.
@@AliceFarmer-bg4dw I agree with you that the science must be questioned continually, in order not to become theology, to a point. i.e. no one reasonably educated questions many principles of physics, mathematics, chemistry, and engineering. Continuous questioning particularly applies to climate change and LGBTQIA+ science, in which enormous pressure is brought upon those who question its shaky tenets. Regarding nutrition science, there is a lot of flawed interpretations of studies, and misrepresentation of human diet through history, by low carb and carnivore diet pushers. You need to be schooled in nutrition and read thousands of papers, ranked in order of robustness, before perceiving the reality of nutrition's relationship with disease and longevity. No one on the low carb side I have listened to has this background. They are cherry pickers.
In my 68 years somehow I have never heard of this study. Thank you so much for sharing this, it’s fascinating. I’ll be looking for more info on this. Thanks again!!
I visit family regularly in France. One year there was a TV show about the rising incidence of heart disease in France. They repeatedly quoted the Framingham Heart Study.
That’s fantastic come back and let us know when you are fully whole food pantry based, I know it’ll happen eventually I am just intrigued how much longer it’ll take you. Keep it up
My cholesterol went from 290 to 220 in 6 months by cutting out red meat, oils & dairy. I still eat some animal products (trying to be vegan) & plenty beans, veg & fruits. Not so much bread or grains. Not greatest chol number but if I keep eating like this what will 1 year be.
Thank you for the great work you do. Wife and i have been vegetarian to vegan to wf plant based for over 30 years. We are in our 80's and in great health. The life style does work.
I'm glad you mention some of the sources for unscientific claims. I always wonder where folks are getting these stories from. Maybe some of my friends will be open to listen to your excellent video! It's definitely going into next month's newsletter.

I live in Massachusetts. Can I join the Framingham Study? I can donate my 20-year worth of bloodwork history and my parents’ to the study. My dad lived to 97, and my mom to 82. I am a pescatarian plus some eggs. I eat lots of plants, beans, nuts and seeds everyday. I exercise everyday.
The fact that, in your 70’s - you look as damn good as you do *and* you think as sharply as you do - is quite the testament to a plant-based diet & healthy lifestyle. So keep it up - we need you around for a long time to come! 🤗
I’m not in any camp, vegan or carnivore, but you made me curious about searching up some old carnivore people. And damn there’s some good looking people. Maggie White at 82 seems like a particularly insane example. Best looking 82 year old woman I’ve ever seen. Also had no idea Shawn Baker was 57. He looks like 40yo. Shows you how far anecdotes get ya. You can look very good and be in extremely good shape on both meat heavy and plant heavy diets.
@@auspiciouslywild You must be so fun at parties! Do you always feel compelled to run interference on compliments that are sincerely given to other men? I don’t recall mentioning that *every* person who eats a lot of meat will inevitably look & feel like shit in their old age; there are anomalies, after all. Like Shawn & Maggie, who appear to live active lifestyles, but who still look like their respective ages, imo, while Chris looks much younger - hence the compliment. Also, Shawn will be lucky to make it to 80, given how angry he appears to be at everyone who disagrees with him. As a 50 year old female - who has been a wfpb vegan for 29 years - I still look like I’m 35, and I still feel like I’m 25. My blood work is consistently (dare I say it) perfecto. I just added 10 more pounds to my squat weight this week, & I have to beat frat boys off with a stick. Is that anecdotal? Of course it is. But it’s *also* the expected result - barring faulty genes - from following *scientific* diet & lifestyle recommendations since the mid 1990’s. While most folks were getting their nutritional advice from obese doctors, I was following the data. And I still do - which is why I appreciate this channel. I just wish these false equivalency arguments (that you appear to have bought into) would go the way of the dinosaurs already. A ‘carnivore’ diet doesn’t even come close to matching a wfpd diet, especially with regard to long-term metabolic health. Now, with all due respect, please cut the shit, & apologize to Chris for staining his comments section with your unsolicited “I’m so contrarian!” cock-blocking observations. Surely there are better ways to lift your self-esteem.
@@cracksofdawn "...given how angry he appears to be at everyone who disagrees with him..." I hear you, but this reply seems pretty pissed-off too... and adding in wooing by frat boys, eh? Cool, I guess. But veganism seems great, don't get me wrong. I hope your squat weight meets or exceeds an average frat boy soon ;-) (175#?)
First of all, thank you for your work. As an almost fully meat based eater I am very intrigued by this study. Although I do not indulge much in high fat meals. I still mostly eat ceviche, steak tar tar and carpaccio, with occasional ghee cooked meats. You are starting to influence me to go back to a more balanced diet. Just bought some fermentation pots too haha! I also do semi regular blood work, with decent results so far. interested to see how it changes if I incorporate more veggies again.
A breath of positivity! How the work office environment should be! Note, I got the impression that the workers were all proud and enthusiastic with their contribution.
Hi Chris thank you so much for throughough reviews. From your channel I became 99% Whole Foods plant based. My APOB went from 105 to 68. H1B. 5.8. To 5.0. PSA FROM 10. To 5.8. Thx
The number of people on social media (the ones suggested for you - not your friend/family group) that hawk this or that health-info tidbit has skyrocketed lately. It is all-to-easy for people to fall into believing them, even subconsciously, but especially if someone knows little to nothing about health and health studies and doesn't take the time to search out the truth. It is a relief to watch your videos, Chris, where you dig out the truth vs fiction. I look forward to the interview with Dr. Levy in a future video.
I do not know if the Framinham Institure also makes studies about the influence of the state of our microbiom in our diet and well-being, but they definitely should. It is one of the most important and most underrated factors I think.
One of the MANY things I like about PC's channel is that his videos are like audiobooks to me. I see a new video, hit the LIKE button, turn the volume up, and keep working out, cleaning, cooking, or whatever I was doing at the moment.
20:28 reminds me of a comment I got on my channel today. The person was like " The vegetables you eat didn't occur in nature" 😂 I'm like and the artificially inseminated animal you eat That's injected with supplements you don't want to take directly is more natural? I'll just take B12 directly instead of through blood, guts and gore. And they're eating the same plants even. It's like they criticize us for something they're doing worse all the time. It's the most backward weird logic it's like hitting my head against the wall.
Yeah. Stupid argument. And this is why 'paleo diet' is nonsensical. You must live in paleolithic or early neolithic times (or earlier) to be able to accomplish that. And there were never a single diet. Coastal people ate seafood and coastal vegetation. People in the frozen ice age Europe relied mostly on hunted meat. Other people ate a very plant based diet, WFPB on steroids with the very occasional meat or insects, basically like chimps today but with the superpower of cooking and advanced tools. Others ate mostly grains, etc. And Paleo when? 20,000 ya? 50,000? 200,000? Whose diet should we, the amalgamation of three subspecies follow? Modern human, Neanderthal ott Denisovan? Etc. I must hold back my laughter when I meet Paleo proponents. Same with some vegan or carnivore people claiming this is the old, natural, universal human diet.
This all sounds very well investigated. I only have 1 problem / question about it. How come the research on a couple of million Koreans comes to this conclusion: Overall, in Korean adults, the lowest cholesterol levels were not associated with the lowest mortality, and no positive association was found in the levels
I am working back to vegan. Now I'm ovo-lacto veg with actual veg! I was vegan for years and was at my ideal weight, cholesterol 127 (maybe too low?), and felt good overall. What caused me to stop was (I realized later) lack of B12. All of a sudden I craved meat. Now I take B12 and omegas. We're getting there...I'm part Norwegian, and lemme tell ya, cheese is a hard habit to break for us, man.
Great video! 🎉always impressed by the level of detail and quality of the content. I’m a member of a few wellnes and nutrition societies for medical providers and I hate to say how sometimes the biases in the nutrition debates also bubble up there too. I sometimes don’t know what to believe because there are so many doctors sharing info and they seem to be very knowledgeable, but when I read studies and research myself I often find alternative conclusions. What frightens me is that I know a lot of other doctors out there are not as interested in reading the research themselves, and instead take the lectures as dogma. And then start spreading misinformation themselves. I can tell you it gets pretty nasty between doctors when they argue and disagree about things. Ego is a huge problem 😅

I lost over 100lbs by abstaining from all fast food. I enjoy a diet rich in proteins like ribe eye steaks, salmon, and lamb. I also enjoy salads with all kinds of greens, olive oil, lemon juice, eggs, and vinegar. I occasionally enjoy sweet potatoes and plantains. I have more energy than when I was 18 and feel great. The Mediterranean way looks like the way I eat except I don't eat bread or pasta at all. Spaghetti squash for me. Be well everyone.
Great video - Chris, I have a geeky audio/video question - I noticed you’re using a Rode Go II mic at one point then a DJI mic at another - which one do you prefer? I’ve been in the market and these two have been at the top of my list
Definitely the DJI because you don't need Rode's app and it's less obtrusive, but there is one BIG caution: it's easy to touch the record button on the side of the DJIs and stop the recording. GAH! That's why I leave the lights on, so I can see that it's still recording, and I don't take chances when I'm interviewing someone like Christine, who is moving around and could bump it. I put the DJI on Dr. Levy because he was sitting and I wasn't worried.
10 years of Paleo-ish diet and eventually BP 140 90. 18 months WFPB SOS free and off pills and BP 105 70. It even goes below 100 70. I added salt because lack of salt can halve the stomach acid leading to chest throat pain etc. BP did not move. I think salt can raise BP if it is already compromised by other factors, of course in moderate amounts like you adding all the salt you consume in pinches. Not hidden in prepared food you get from other people.
@@4124V4TA-SNPCA-x Salt, oil and sugar. I heard it this abbreviation the first time from cooks as a reminder of how to easily save a mediocre dish. I personally have nothing against any of it in moderation. But sweet and/or salt with fat in general is associated with overeating. So avoiding these might for some people be a good idea. It has the same effect on me, but I can moderate it. Others can't.
My guess about salt and blood pressure: If you eat WFPB you probably get a lot of potassium. I have a quite high sodium (Na) intake. My blood pressure is in the low to normal range. At the same time my potassium (K) intake is high. With a Na-to-K-ratio ≤1 even if I eat multiple soups during the week (that's when I eat the most Na). The ratio between sodium and potassium is a better predictor of blood pressure than sodium and potassium alone.
According to all the longevity doctors I can find, the longest-lived and healthiest populations eat fruit, veggies, beans, whole grains and nuts - in as natural a state as possible - and a very small amount of animal foods like eggs and fish. That's what Framingham found too.
They think they're trending like every other nation where high meat consumption has become popular: the 20 and 30-somethings adopt it, diabetes rates soar, but elders stick to their traditional diets. So mortality data doesn't reflect the change for decades.
@@Viva-Longevity @PlantChompers got it thank you, so the diet you described for longevity and to sidestep heart disease etc. what about for "vitality" if that is such a thing. I find I have a lot more energy when eating red meat/fish/eggs/milk at least once in while, also I find that I have a much clearer head when avoiding carbs (even non processed ones). I realise this is all anecdotal. Perhaps confusingly I find I have the clearest mind when i avoid carbs and non-fishy meat (so lower energy but clearer mind). Potentially this is all placebo as well.
As a Black man in his 50s, raised in Montgomery Alabama, I could not agree with this young sister more. I have and continue to actively educate and re-educate my children and grandchildren on this topic. We are not who and what media say we are, and only we can tell our story. I feel so bad for our folks who take in media as education on who they are while completely ignoring what they see EVERY SINGLE DAY. Thank you for this!
this is on a different subject, but I was wondering if you have listened to Dr. William Li or read any of his books such as Eat To Beat Disease? If so what are your thoughts on his Prescribed eating patterns?
Thank you for such a cool video. I heard about this study, but didn’t realize how current it is. I’d love to hear more on that bone machine! Do they have information on bone health and calcium intake? Also, I’d love your thoughts on where the study may be going. Will it end at some point? Will it expand? How does it get its funding and is it secure? How do we know this treasure won’t become a casualty of the kitchen debate portion of our Culture War?
This is just fabulous and so helpful to see the inner workings of such an important, expansive study!! May this amazingly informational and legitimate description of what good health is truly about get the amount of views it should💪Thank you so much🙏!!
I remember what we looked like in the 1960s and 1970s, too. It was a time when people ate real foods, and fat phobia and cholesterol scaremongering weren't a thing. We cooked in natural animal fats, ate eggs, enjoyed fatty cuts of meat, relished butter, and devoured regular milk. It was only when we replaced real food with highly processed junk grub-advertised as healthy low-fat and no-fat fare-that we became fat, sick, and sluggish. IN CONCLUSION So, there was less meat, a ban on animal fats in most households, egg yolks were discarded, and people endured skimmed milk. Oh, and let's not forget that lovely fake butter and toxic vegetable (seed) oils, and the new dietary guidelines that advised us to eat a shedload more carbs. Heck, it doesn't need scientists or nutritionists to work out what we should be eating. Wake up, people; it's later than you think!
Your claim that Americans eat less meat now than in the 60s and 70s is false. Per capita meat consumption in the US was ~170 lbs in 1909, ~220 lbs in the mid-60s, and ~280 lbs by 2020. I grew up in the 60s and 70s, and there was plenty of junk and fake food around, the idea that the average American diet in the 60s and 70s was mostly natural, whole foods is just silly. We were eating peanutbutter and "marshmallow fluff" sandwiches on Wonder Bread, washed down with KoolAid, with Twinkies for desert.
Thank you , another great one! I look forward to your well researched posts. This one is perfectly timed because today is my birthday- so thank you for the gift! 😊
I love the polite dunking on the keto and carnivore bros. I hate how much that crap has proliferated, and I've watched coworkers yo-yo diet over the years because of it. On a side note: as a figure skater, I really hate the comments sections of figure skating videos. There are way too many armchair judges in there.
I can agree with you more. I see year after year female students going on these fad diets and their grades start fall within a month. They can't focus and they become nutritent deficient. It so sad that they get sucked into this cult like way of eating and nothing can be done to help them.
Amazing! Your guide Christine Hess followed in her mother's footsteps! What a great, monumental research effort the Framingham Heart Study is. It's just so frustrating that so-called social media influencers are so incentivized to mislead their followers and that their followers are so eager to be misled. It's like a death spiral.
The google algo does it really. They push extremes as it keeps people glued to YT longer, hence more add revenue for more hits and time on it. I always get shawn baker as a recommend I am vegan. Do I ever watch them, no of course not but like alex jones before the ban they always recommend him. Ther results societally considered are not good. But raw naked capitalism it is what it is............ profitable. Censorship is not recommended in democracies but how they recommend things may be recommended, 999 uut of say 1000 recommends is probably where they should go. But they never will till we regulate it which we never will, just censor or tell them to censor.
Has anyone noticed this tactic? I will get a silly reply to my comment in my notifications, but when I try to reply, the offending comment has been deleted and can't be replied to. Well, I will just copy that reply here so everyone can see how inane it is : a64750 replied: "one day; a Study will show an only Protein only diet just as effective as only Vegetables only"
Most of all it was the overuse of antibiotics both directly on humans and indirectly in food and through soil contamination that played a crucial role in the obesity epidemic. And it is not directly antibiotic toxicity but their effects of the human microbiome and environmental bacteria.
Thanks for this inside look at the Framingham study. I share the frustration about the agenda driven media influencers who are either scientifically illiterate or too lazy to quickly fact check their assertions ... or maybe just plain disingenuous :). Having studies like Framingham is a godsend.
The biggest influence is our parents usually. Fast foods and poor eating habits, lack of exercise and sleep are to blame. But our GOVERNMENT ALSO HAS TO TAKE THE BLAME because they have allowed small doses of poisons into our canned food and other processed foods.
The Sweeting of America starting in the 60’s is the biggest cause of the USA’s obesity! In the 50’s & 60’s my parents drank gin & tonics. The tonic water was bitter! My brother and our friends were around 10 or 11 yrs old. My friend and I had only one water pistol btwn us and my brother had a water pistol like mine but his friend had one connected by a hose to a water container on his belt. How could I even the odds? I filled my water pistol with my parents tonic water. Then when my brother and his friend attacked I would aim for their eyes and mouth which burned their eyes and the bitter taste in their mouths. Now, why am I telling you this. At any grocery or liquor store pick up a bottle of tonic water and read the ingredients: the first one will usually be “high fructose corn syrup or sugar with a calorie count of 100! You’ll have to search for Fever Tree or Q tonic to get less sweet and lower calorie count. Read the label on everything in your cart and you will find high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup or sugar. Most companies don’t use sugar bc it’s more expensive than the corn syrups. Almost every food has been adulterated with two of these ingredients. American sausage has sugar or corn syrup but sausage made in Germany doesn’t! Why has everything been sweetened? Bc it is addicting and good for companies bottom line.
THANKS for another HIGH QUALITY & ENTERTAINING video Chris! I'm curious to hear more about why they choose to give a Boost Shake- as it has such horrendous ingredients, and can barely be considered nutritious imho.
Good question, Emily. Next week I'll publish the whole interview with Daniel Levy, but before the interview, I'll have them answer the questions like yours that I failed to ask him.
I don't know, my wife and i are on a carnivour diet, with limited greens and fruit. We are dropping weight, feeling better? We want to give it a year and decide. All my blood work is great except cholesterol, but that has always been high as was my dads, who flew in WWII and always was thin??? He passed at 89 from cancer.
Congrats on losing weight, go get a calcium test with a cardiologist. You guys have probably lost weight by cutting out sugar and processed foods. The science behind keto/carnivore is damning. Humans aren’t obligate carnivores either. You guys should switch to a whole food plant based diet ASAP. No sugar or processed food. You can definitely read more about the impacts of your dietary choices through Nature Journal & the Lancet
@sayyadinasri thank you for your reply. I will get the calcium score. Could not imagine being a vegetarian, but I'd consider it if I thought it right. Also, the Lancet said ivermectin was taboo. Just about to the end of "the war on Invemectin" gotta say the medical community has scared me away. I was told from the dic who saw me in my car to just go home and if I didn't feel better go to the ER. Basically go home and die, your 63 no big deal. Since then and after reading this book, some scary stuff about our sad medical community including the Lancet. But I'll always keep an open mind.
Great presentation. I liked the lead of denial spouting influencers. A bit off the subject, like yourself my career was earth sciences and these days, besides nutrition, I follow issues involving energy and climate. I do not like the term "Dark Ages", but I fear the growing trend of orchestrated denialism. My fear is that collectively we will surrender truth. My only hope is to live long enough to see that truth prevails, a never ending goal.
Nonsponsored MD's have several advantages over most Phd's. A Phd typically needs grant money, so they have to please the funder. They often have relatively narrow educations, and cannot connect fields. They are usually rewarded for staying in the contemporary paradigm, not for thinking big, and connecting fields. Watson & Crick figured out DNA b/c they could connect disparate fields. Many researchers and teachers are sponsored, and again have to please those sponsored. A free thinking scholar can often out think a bunch of grant hungry Phd's or commercialized MD's. When I was a young doctor, I was intimidated by big titles, especially from the big name universities. Now that I have been to many of those places, and have read the papers that come from those places, I know that the logic and the writing matters. Most big names in medicine got their positions by social skills, not by knowledge; by following the paradigm, not by any interesting work. "A genius is someone who transmorms their field" - DK Simonton = expert on geniuses.
I wish the title were true. I never heard of the study and it is great they do it. But unfortunately it is not changeing the world as long as we allow the industries to manipulate us and our politicians.
Thanks for posting this. Very interesting and informative. I delete most nutrition articles I find on social media and block them hoping it might help in some small way in the algorithms. Only the truly scientifically based ones I take a second look at. I went mostly plant based 10 years ago due to digestive issues. Dairy was the biggest culprit and red meat was always too tough for my liking so that was easy to give up completely. I'm 68, 5'8", 145 lbs, bmi 22, long blonde hair still...so far so good. So many of my close relatives are obese, diabetic, have cancer, heart disease, and sadly some have died from these. Diet and nutrition seems an easy fix.
This video is telling you (vegans/vegetarians) what you want to hear and believe. Everyone needs to do their own N=1 experiment to see what works best for them. There are many who have horrible sensitivities/reactions to plants. It’s real for them. They feel, move, and have the best mental health eating an animal based diet. They found help by researching and finding doctors that are going against everything we’ve been told and lead to believe is “healthy”.
@PlantChompers Chris I believed those doctors for several years. It took me a long time to realise that their emphatic assertions were not correct. They speak with such confidence it’s not surprising that people believe them. Thank you for what you do
Born in 1954 here’s what I’ve seen that was different back in the 60’s and early ‘70’s growing up in rural Wisconsin: the majority of mothers stayed home and could provide home cooked meals for the family everyday; people had very little extra $ for food or anything else; all the farm families had garden that provided vegetables year round( fresh, canned, and frozen); kids got a lot of exercise walking/running/playing and riding their bikes; farm kids did more manual labor; parents didn’t helicopter raise their kids; very few town kids were driven to school- they walked; junk food was less available and in it’s infancy; treats were relegated to special occasions and often homemade; TV was only a few channels and had less appeal.😊
Thx for this. i agree. ..too much vegan vs meat propaganda today .. ignoring all the other factors like the ones you listed... And soil had more minerals... Food had less preservatives.. people ate fermented foods and got sunlight.. less pollutants in food..less medical interventions and drugs.. less processed foods..and people ate animal fats.
"and in its infancy" is preferred to what you have written. Please consider it near the bottom of your comment. Thanks 🙏🏻.

You so richly deserve an award for the work you do. Slogging through the internet's cesspool of misinformation and crackpottery to fish out the truth makes you as critical to national health as the surgeon general.
Having moved to a Mediterranean village and observed the lives of the (very) old people, I think we have missed a couple of points about the Mediterranean diet. For most of their lives these people were poor, they worked hard and did not eat much. They spent most of their time outdoors in the sunlight. Maybe the biggest factors in the Mediterranean diet are not what you eat, but the quantity, physical activity, and sunlight.
Great points 👍🏼
And the fasting
My blood boils when I see medical professionals go public with wildly unscientific claims, especially when it comes to cholesterol, the detrimental effects of which have been so unequivocally proven. Since they are professionals and have been exposed to the Framingham Study, it's difficult not to conclude that their motives are venal, that they've accepted bribes from Big Ag and agreed to spread false information. I only wish there was some legal means by which they could be held accountable.
Not just in health care. Judith Curry makes an interesting case study. Vulcanologist, struggling to get any funding for her volcano research. Turns to promoting fake climate science ideas for various fossil fuel companies. We have entered a new age where misinformation is a commodity you can make money from selling.
One of my dog walking buddies is a director at Google and he has decided to ask UA-cam to investigate Anthony Chaffee's UA-cam channel. Far as I can tell, Dr. Chaffee was never a pro rugby player, isn't a doctor, etc. Can anyone fact check me on that?

Wow! So cool! Thank you and your family for your participation!
As a Cardiothoracic Anesthesiologist for 20 years, the population that made it to the OR for bypass were smokers, diabetics or both. All were older and not active. I believe, smoking not included, the #1 risk factor is a sedentary lifestyle.
Sedentary life style is a major factor, but excessive dietary carbohydrates is by far and away #1.
@@jeff911rn99 Excess carbs leads to weight gain and insulin residence, and then to DM2 in those genetically susceptible. DM2 with genetics leads to bypass. One doesn't get fat by eating. Olympic athletes eat 2X to 3X the Calories of a regular person.

No one can make a sweeping statement and say it's only about one thing. Also, reading "several comments" on UA-cam isn't valid research.
Wow, this is pro documentary quality. This is a great educational service - thank you!
Wow! This video really got my attention. Back when I was 40 years old I was invited to a similar project at UMAS in Malmö, Sweden, called ”GÅS”, which reads ”goose” in english. It was all about getting older and the participants were called to do follow-ups every five years. Unfortunately I had to break up my engagement at the age of 65 when I moved to Colombia 🇨🇴. Being a professional nurse for four decades I was very interested in long term projects like the Framingham studies. Thank you hgris for this presentation of Framingham. It was a refreshing counterpoint to all the garbage on internet. ❤ Chaoito!
Chris I am not vegan..almost 80%..still working on it.
I don't always agree with you but you convince me more on most that my mind conflicts with. I have read some of the books you talk about.
I so respect & admire your hard work and dedication to giving us the truth proof on any given subject. Thanks for all your research that most are too lazy to look into...including myself.
Go 100% it's not difficult at all! I enjoy what I eat more than ever since going vegan 5 years ago.
Main takeaway: avoid the "muffin and beer diet" at all costs.
You gotta have a network of friend that invite you on a long run and then a beer and a banana afterwards.
@@a64750 because, that would be really stupid.
NOOOOOOOOOO!! How can one enjoy beer without muffin!?
The Framingham study is one I am highly uneducated on. Looking forward to the episode, and I plan on educating myself further. Thanks, Chris.
P.S. I love the fact that you interview so many researchers - I wish I had the time (nearing the end of PhD...)
Can I ask a question, when using the risk assessment, why does Framingham consider HDLc significant? Or is that just the way it started? Everything I've read over the years focuses on LDL, and more recently, ApoB.
Wow so cool seeing you here man!💚💚💚💚💚💚
That's an incredibly good question. Dr. Levy does address that in his interview, which I'll post next week. There's a long history there because HDLc is associated with lower risk but it isn't causal of that risk. Confusing, I know.
@@Viva-Longevity That would be great, looking forward to it thank you Chris!
@Physionic Well hurry up and get educated because you been promoting your high cholesterol nonsense diet.
Thank you Chris for being the voice of sanity in a sea of insanity (misinformation and disinformation), and thanks for calling out Hyman, Attia, Diamond, Teicholz, etc. Your channel is simply the best !
I just want to say THANK-YOU. The effort you put into your videos is so appreciated (by me and my healthy vegetarian 89 year old mom). God bless you! 🙏🙌

@@terryjackson9395amazing report, thanks, and 😲 wow.
Your videos are all amazing and appreciated! I am also almost 72, and over the last 14 years lave permanently lost 120 pounds. Diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol and many other markers have all stabilized to normal levels. The best part of my day is at 6 or 8 AM when I hit the gym for a fast treadmill session and a swim 6.5 days a week. Your inclusion of the remarks about how obesity tends to happen by all the people around us and their habits really struck close to home. Indeed, practically all the people around me, family and life long friends were also overweight and I have watched almost all of them suffer all kinds of miseries, and pass away, all from dietary diseases and lifestyle choices. I should note that most all these people thought I ate a weird diet, and that I went to the gym too much. I was extremely fortunate years back to follow such people as Dr. McDougall, Dr. Barnard, Dr. Greger, yourself, and many others and I owe my very life to their work. In my view, all these people and others actually save lives, but suffer the consequences of low popularity compared to of all those who follow the clicks. Thanks again!
Oh my GOSH! 120 pounds, permanently!! 👏 💪 🎉 It's for people like you I make these videos. I'm 70 and see the same things you do; despite living in a healthy part of California, many of my friends are miserable and dying unnecessarily. I ski, run, bike, play tag with the grandkids, love the food I eat, but they think I have an eating disorder because I eat fruit, veggies, beans, whole grains and nuts in as natural a state as possible. 🤷♂️

The realization was, these legit doctors are so busy they don't have time to get on social media and that's why I'm doing what I'm doing by trying to interview them.
Meanwhile irrelevant titlea are starting UA-cam channels pretending to be experts on nutrition when they're just exploiting a vulnerable population for views evidenced by them saying they are merely entertaining and then there's consequence of that entertainment.

Thank you again! And thanks to the Framingham staff for the great tour.
I’ve been doing carnivore as an elimination diet for over 3 months mostly to address my brain fog which started to clear up after one week and now is almost gone, as is my anxiety as an unexpected bonus. I’ve never felt this level of calm. Totally new territory for me. I also don’t need to take naps anymore and my ice cream cravings are gone, which says a lot.
I still have my cheat days when I go out but find I’m foggy the next day but I’m ok with that.
For what it’s worth, friends I haven’t seen since starting this elimination diet asked what I’ve been doing because of how healthy I look, saying I look younger. One friend was in disbelief at the change to my skin and face. I had noticed some outward changes but didn’t know if I was imagining it, so their comments were unexpected but a confirmation.
I was a smoothie girl for decades and always wondered why my joints hurt.
I believe it was from the plant oxalates. My joint pain is hardly noticeable now, but it takes awhile to dump the oxalates from the years of eating the “good for you” vegetables and nuts.
I have added back sourdough bread, sauerkraut, some berries and kefir a few times a week and a tablespoon of honey every few days.
Before going on carnivore, this last year after learning about the high oxalates in vegetables and nuts, I cut out all smoothies and maybe had two salads the entire year out of guilt.
Curiously, my yearly blood test was my best test in ten years. (Total shock and curiosity.)
At this point, my goal is to eliminate high oxalate foods as they appear to have negatively impacted my health. I’m grateful to have found out about using carnivore as an elimination diet as I work toward a balance that works for me.
I increased animal based nutrition and decreased carbohydrates
and eliminated seed oils ( using butter and olive oil only ) .
Other plant based nutrition remained the same at 20% to 25% .
Am doing better than ever ( physically and so mentally ) .
It wasn't oxalates, it was your omega levels.
A very circumspect commentary! And an invaluable look at the Framington methodologies. This video felt like a bit of a crescendo. I can see how it builds upon previous videos and sort of encapsulates so many ideas that you've discussed before. I'm glad to see that you're not pulling any punches!!! 😆
Very well done video! Thanks for taking the time to make it, looking forward to hearing the interview in it's full state!

Biggest reason: Everyone ate a sit-down dinner at home. Kids often took home-cooked food for lunch or a sandwich. Mothers were home, so they had time to cook. Now almost no one eats a sit-down meal at home, and if they happen to eat at home, it's some fast food, or some microwave food. Eating relatively healthy food at home (even if not organic), was more relaxing, and the comfort of knowing your family was eating with you (and had your back), was much better than swallowing just anything. It led to better sleeping too.
I went vegan for ethical reasons, all that mattered to me was health was fine enough on a plant based diet. However, my LDL dropped from 140's to the 70's in two months. I didn't even eat whole foods like I'm supposed to..
Thats great. ldl is around 110 now, I wonder if the yogurt and the peanut butter prevents me fron getting it below 100.

I am a health clinician. 64yo.
It frustrates me that doctors not formally trained in nutrition and nutritional diseases, are aggressively promoting diets that are contrary to those recommended by National guidelines and established nutrition research institutes.
The research is clear on what provides a longevity advantage....and yet some health professionals are still promoting the opposite.

Show me a study of 100 year old carnivore dieters, and you might have a point.

I agree with you that the science must be questioned continually, in order not to become theology, to a point. i.e. no one reasonably educated questions many principles of physics, mathematics, chemistry, and engineering.
Continuous questioning particularly applies to climate change and LGBTQIA+ science, in which enormous pressure is brought upon those who question its shaky tenets.
Regarding nutrition science, there is a lot of flawed interpretations of studies, and misrepresentation of human diet through history, by low carb and carnivore diet pushers.
You need to be schooled in nutrition and read thousands of papers, ranked in order of robustness, before perceiving the reality of nutrition's relationship with disease and longevity. No one on the low carb side I have listened to has this background. They are cherry pickers.

My cholesterol went from 290 to 220 in 6 months by cutting out red meat, oils & dairy. I still eat some animal products (trying to be vegan) & plenty beans, veg & fruits. Not so much bread or grains. Not greatest chol number but if I keep eating like this what will 1 year be.
so? whats cac say? lp(a)? a1c?
Thank you for the great work you do. Wife and i have been vegetarian to vegan to wf plant based for over 30 years. We are in our 80's and in great health. The life style does work.
I'm glad you mention some of the sources for unscientific claims. I always wonder where folks are getting these stories from. Maybe some of my friends will be open to listen to your excellent video! It's definitely going into next month's newsletter.
Type one Diabetic over 40 years have been on keto- vore diet for 5 weeks glucose levels stabilized for first time
And blood pressure now normal ...Drs have told me to stop taking 3 out of the four meds I've had to be on
.. feeling so much better new lease on life....edema has dissapeared...
This is all know.
One word......life changing
Unfortunately, all the data points to it's short-term, I'm sorry to say.
@@Viva-Longevityi have friends, it's not short term. maybe there is genetic variance among humans. they still can't explain lean mass hyper responders.
@@Viva-Longevitythere aren't any long term studies so that's just your opinion. Stop pulling "facts" out of thin air
I live in Massachusetts. Can I join the Framingham Study? I can donate my 20-year worth of bloodwork history and my parents’ to the study. My dad lived to 97, and my mom to 82. I am a pescatarian plus some eggs. I eat lots of plants, beans, nuts and seeds everyday. I exercise everyday.
Your videos could be as long as a movie and I would still watch avidly ❤
The fact that, in your 70’s - you look as damn good as you do *and* you think as sharply as you do - is quite the testament to a plant-based diet & healthy lifestyle. So keep it up - we need you around for a long time to come! 🤗
I’m not in any camp, vegan or carnivore, but you made me curious about searching up some old carnivore people. And damn there’s some good looking people. Maggie White at 82 seems like a particularly insane example. Best looking 82 year old woman I’ve ever seen. Also had no idea Shawn Baker was 57. He looks like 40yo.
Shows you how far anecdotes get ya. You can look very good and be in extremely good shape on both meat heavy and plant heavy diets.
@@auspiciouslywildDon’t kid yourself. Shawn Baker looks really old.
@@auspiciouslywild You must be so fun at parties! Do you always feel compelled to run interference on compliments that are sincerely given to other men? I don’t recall mentioning that *every* person who eats a lot of meat will inevitably look & feel like shit in their old age; there are anomalies, after all. Like Shawn & Maggie, who appear to live active lifestyles, but who still look like their respective ages, imo, while Chris looks much younger - hence the compliment. Also, Shawn will be lucky to make it to 80, given how angry he appears to be at everyone who disagrees with him.
As a 50 year old female - who has been a wfpb vegan for 29 years - I still look like I’m 35, and I still feel like I’m 25. My blood work is consistently (dare I say it) perfecto. I just added 10 more pounds to my squat weight this week, & I have to beat frat boys off with a stick. Is that anecdotal? Of course it is. But it’s *also* the expected result - barring faulty genes - from following *scientific* diet & lifestyle recommendations since the mid 1990’s. While most folks were getting their nutritional advice from obese doctors, I was following the data. And I still do - which is why I appreciate this channel. I just wish these false equivalency arguments (that you appear to have bought into) would go the way of the dinosaurs already. A ‘carnivore’ diet doesn’t even come close to matching a wfpd diet, especially with regard to long-term metabolic health. Now, with all due respect, please cut the shit, & apologize to Chris for staining his comments section with your unsolicited “I’m so contrarian!” cock-blocking observations. Surely there are better ways to lift your self-esteem.
@@auspiciouslywild Shawn Baker looks 40 yrs old??? Not to me.He does look fit, but that's not quite the same thing.
@@cracksofdawn "...given how angry he appears to be at everyone who disagrees with him..." I hear you, but this reply seems pretty pissed-off too... and adding in wooing by frat boys, eh? Cool, I guess. But veganism seems great, don't get me wrong. I hope your squat weight meets or exceeds an average frat boy soon ;-) (175#?)
First of all, thank you for your work.
As an almost fully meat based eater I am very intrigued by this study. Although I do not indulge much in high fat meals. I still mostly eat ceviche, steak tar tar and carpaccio, with occasional ghee cooked meats.
You are starting to influence me to go back to a more balanced diet. Just bought some fermentation pots too haha!
I also do semi regular blood work, with decent results so far. interested to see how it changes if I incorporate more veggies again.
A breath of positivity! How the work office environment should be! Note, I got the impression that the workers were all proud and enthusiastic with their contribution.
Excellent video. Amazing content and amazing editing as always. Thank you.
Hi Chris thank you so much for throughough reviews. From your channel I became 99% Whole Foods plant based. My APOB went from 105 to 68. H1B. 5.8. To 5.0. PSA FROM 10. To 5.8. Thx
WOW!! Congratulations! 👏🎉💪
The number of people on social media (the ones suggested for you - not your friend/family group) that hawk this or that health-info tidbit has skyrocketed lately. It is all-to-easy for people to fall into believing them, even subconsciously, but especially if someone knows little to nothing about health and health studies and doesn't take the time to search out the truth. It is a relief to watch your videos, Chris, where you dig out the truth vs fiction. I look forward to the interview with Dr. Levy in a future video.
Thank you for calling out these charlatans.
Dude you're so gold! Beautiful work
I do not know if the Framinham Institure also makes studies about the influence of the state of our microbiom in our diet and well-being, but they definitely should. It is one of the most important and most underrated factors I think.
Dr. Will Bulsiewicz does a lot of research on exactly that :)
One of the MANY things I like about PC's channel is that his videos are like audiobooks to me. I see a new video, hit the LIKE button, turn the volume up, and keep working out, cleaning, cooking, or whatever I was doing at the moment.
20:28 reminds me of a comment I got on my channel today. The person was like " The vegetables you eat didn't occur in nature" 😂 I'm like and the artificially inseminated animal you eat That's injected with supplements you don't want to take directly is more natural? I'll just take B12 directly instead of through blood, guts and gore. And they're eating the same plants even. It's like they criticize us for something they're doing worse all the time. It's the most backward weird logic it's like hitting my head against the wall.
Yeah. Stupid argument.
And this is why 'paleo diet' is nonsensical. You must live in paleolithic or early neolithic times (or earlier) to be able to accomplish that.
And there were never a single diet. Coastal people ate seafood and coastal vegetation. People in the frozen ice age Europe relied mostly on hunted meat. Other people ate a very plant based diet, WFPB on steroids with the very occasional meat or insects, basically like chimps today but with the superpower of cooking and advanced tools. Others ate mostly grains, etc.
And Paleo when? 20,000 ya? 50,000? 200,000?
Whose diet should we, the amalgamation of three subspecies follow? Modern human, Neanderthal ott Denisovan? Etc.
I must hold back my laughter when I meet Paleo proponents.
Same with some vegan or carnivore people claiming this is the old, natural, universal human diet.
This all sounds very well investigated. I only have 1 problem / question about it.
How come the research on a couple of million Koreans comes to this conclusion:
Overall, in Korean adults, the lowest cholesterol levels were not associated with the lowest mortality, and no positive association was found in the levels
Yes, long story on that Korean paper. I guess I should do an episode about it.
I am working back to vegan. Now I'm ovo-lacto veg with actual veg! I was vegan for years and was at my ideal weight, cholesterol 127 (maybe too low?), and felt good overall. What caused me to stop was (I realized later) lack of B12. All of a sudden I craved meat. Now I take B12 and omegas. We're getting there...I'm part Norwegian, and lemme tell ya, cheese is a hard habit to break for us, man.
Apparently, the lowest incidence of all cause mortality is in the 200-240 mg/dl range of total cholesterol.
Great video! 🎉always impressed by the level of detail and quality of the content.
I’m a member of a few wellnes and nutrition societies for medical providers and I hate to say how sometimes the biases in the nutrition debates also bubble up there too. I sometimes don’t know what to believe because there are so many doctors sharing info and they seem to be very knowledgeable, but when I read studies and research myself I often find alternative conclusions.
What frightens me is that I know a lot of other doctors out there are not as interested in reading the research themselves, and instead take the lectures as dogma. And then start spreading misinformation themselves.
I can tell you it gets pretty nasty between doctors when they argue and disagree about things. Ego is a huge problem 😅
Break down the composition of foods and their effects, do you own studies for yourself
When was this filmed? Why are they wearing masks?
You have the attention span of a goldfish 🤣
@@Alex-ky4cd No, I watched the whole video. Many good points were made. It would be hard for me to take any of it seriously if they are wearing masks in 2024
@@pd2152 Ok, so you agree they made many good points, but your emotional reaction to wearing filtering masks in a healthcare facility is giving you doubts? Life is hard
@@Alex-ky4cd it's not an emotional reaction to doubt the credibility of someone who does something objectively stupid for all to see
@@qwsa283 Hilarious. Do you also cry when a surgeon washes their hands?
Low potassium is a common cause of high blood pressure; but doctors don’t check it very often.
One of the biggest changes over the decades was the normalization of snacks. Our grandparents used to be way more disciplined eating 3 fair and square meals a day and that's it. Maybe 2 meals a day is even better but no big deal. However snacking for years really messes up the body.
I'm pretty sure it depends on what you're snacking on though.
@@ShardstapoRotmg you'll say it's ok to get by with a banana and 2 walnuts, but being hungry all the time is a red flag. If you can't go 6 hours no food that's not the deal of a high quality diet.
Is that a result from the science you do?
@@julioandresgomez3201 Why 6 hours no food? I can do that but like why does that mean anything?
@@ShardstapoRotmg if you can eat and not worry again about food for 12 hours that's even better. I said 5-6 hours for that is a reasonable minimum. Hungrying little after a full meal is highly suspicious.
9:27 the unhealthy and cruel protein shake they feed the volunteer patients says Milk, Soy, Vegan. I'm confused, is one of the drinks vegan? Because Milk is not vegan. Unless it's plant milk.,
I lost over 100lbs by abstaining from all fast food. I enjoy a diet rich in proteins like ribe eye steaks, salmon, and lamb. I also enjoy salads with all kinds of greens, olive oil, lemon juice, eggs, and vinegar. I occasionally enjoy sweet potatoes and plantains. I have more energy than when I was 18 and feel great. The Mediterranean way looks like the way I eat except I don't eat bread or pasta at all. Spaghetti squash for me. Be well everyone.
Chris.. i love you man
You’re changing lives and making the world a better place 🙌🏻
As always, excellent episode! It always makes my day to see a new Plant Chompers.
Great video - Chris, I have a geeky audio/video question - I noticed you’re using a Rode Go II mic at one point then a DJI mic at another - which one do you prefer? I’ve been in the market and these two have been at the top of my list
Definitely the DJI because you don't need Rode's app and it's less obtrusive, but there is one BIG caution: it's easy to touch the record button on the side of the DJIs and stop the recording. GAH! That's why I leave the lights on, so I can see that it's still recording, and I don't take chances when I'm interviewing someone like Christine, who is moving around and could bump it. I put the DJI on Dr. Levy because he was sitting and I wasn't worried.
Thank you for existing!
I admire you so bad Chris! Thanks for spreading good science and sorry about my English, I'm from argentina...
Gracias! Your English is perfect, much better than my Spanish. 😁
10 years of Paleo-ish diet and eventually BP 140 90. 18 months WFPB SOS free and off pills and BP 105 70. It even goes below 100 70. I added salt because lack of salt can halve the stomach acid leading to chest throat pain etc. BP did not move. I think salt can raise BP if it is already compromised by other factors, of course in moderate amounts like you adding all the salt you consume in pinches. Not hidden in prepared food you get from other people.
SOS free?
Edit: I mean what does this abbreviation stands for?
@@4124V4TA-SNPCA-x
Salt, oil and sugar.
I heard it this abbreviation the first time from cooks as a reminder of how to easily save a mediocre dish.
I personally have nothing against any of it in moderation. But sweet and/or salt with fat in general is associated with overeating. So avoiding these might for some people be a good idea.
It has the same effect on me, but I can moderate it. Others can't.
My guess about salt and blood pressure:
If you eat WFPB you probably get a lot of potassium.
I have a quite high sodium (Na) intake. My blood pressure is in the low to normal range.
At the same time my potassium (K) intake is high. With a Na-to-K-ratio ≤1 even if I eat multiple soups during the week (that's when I eat the most Na).
The ratio between sodium and potassium is a better predictor of blood pressure than sodium and potassium alone.
@@4124V4TA-SNPCA-x Salt Oil Sugar free
@@4124V4TA-SNPCA-x Sugar Oil Salt-free.
Boost is crappy....I'm surprised.
so whats the takeaway we apply to our lives? more veg, beans and pulses? less meat? less salt?
That's what I wanted to know ..never said
According to all the longevity doctors I can find, the longest-lived and healthiest populations eat fruit, veggies, beans, whole grains and nuts - in as natural a state as possible - and a very small amount of animal foods like eggs and fish. That's what Framingham found too.
@@Viva-Longevity What do longevity doctors think about hong kongers and their high meat consumption?
They think they're trending like every other nation where high meat consumption has become popular: the 20 and 30-somethings adopt it, diabetes rates soar, but elders stick to their traditional diets. So mortality data doesn't reflect the change for decades.
@@Viva-Longevity @PlantChompers got it thank you, so the diet you described for longevity and to sidestep heart disease etc.
what about for "vitality" if that is such a thing. I find I have a lot more energy when eating red meat/fish/eggs/milk at least once in while, also I find that I have a much clearer head when avoiding carbs (even non processed ones). I realise this is all anecdotal. Perhaps confusingly I find I have the clearest mind when i avoid carbs and non-fishy meat (so lower energy but clearer mind). Potentially this is all placebo as well.
As a Black man in his 50s, raised in Montgomery Alabama, I could not agree with this young sister more. I have and continue to actively educate and re-educate my children and grandchildren on this topic. We are not who and what media say we are, and only we can tell our story. I feel so bad for our folks who take in media as education on who they are while completely ignoring what they see EVERY SINGLE DAY. Thank you for this!
I'd like to hear the full interview with Dr. Levy.
Excellent video. I always appreciate your very thorough research, Chris!
this is on a different subject, but I was wondering if you have listened to Dr. William Li or read any of his books such as Eat To Beat Disease? If so what are your thoughts on his Prescribed eating patterns?
Yes! I think very highly of him.
Thank you for such a cool video. I heard about this study, but didn’t realize how current it is.
I’d love to hear more on that bone machine! Do they have information on bone health and calcium intake?
Also, I’d love your thoughts on where the study may be going. Will it end at some point? Will it expand?
How does it get its funding and is it secure? How do we know this treasure won’t become a casualty of the kitchen debate portion of our Culture War?
This is just fabulous and so helpful to see the inner workings of such an important, expansive study!! May this amazingly informational and legitimate description of what good health is truly about get the amount of views it should💪Thank you so much🙏!!
I remember what we looked like in the 1960s and 1970s, too. It was a time when people ate real foods, and fat phobia and cholesterol scaremongering weren't a thing. We cooked in natural animal fats, ate eggs, enjoyed fatty cuts of meat, relished butter, and devoured regular milk. It was only when we replaced real food with highly processed junk grub-advertised as healthy low-fat and no-fat fare-that we became fat, sick, and sluggish.
IN CONCLUSION
So, there was less meat, a ban on animal fats in most households, egg yolks were discarded, and people endured skimmed milk. Oh, and let's not forget that lovely fake butter and toxic vegetable (seed) oils, and the new dietary guidelines that advised us to eat a shedload more carbs.
Heck, it doesn't need scientists or nutritionists to work out what we should be eating. Wake up, people; it's later than you think!
Your claim that Americans eat less meat now than in the 60s and 70s is false. Per capita meat consumption in the US was ~170 lbs in 1909, ~220 lbs in the mid-60s, and ~280 lbs by 2020. I grew up in the 60s and 70s, and there was plenty of junk and fake food around, the idea that the average American diet in the 60s and 70s was mostly natural, whole foods is just silly. We were eating peanutbutter and "marshmallow fluff" sandwiches on Wonder Bread, washed down with KoolAid, with Twinkies for desert.
Thank you , another great one! I look forward to your well researched posts. This one is perfectly timed because today is my birthday- so thank you for the gift! 😊
Happy birthday! 🎂 🎉
Chris, you rock! Thanks for being a beacon of light in the dark restoring my faith in humanity.
Your channel is pure holy work!
Love what you do - thank you ❤
Thanks for leading me to the Framingham Hearth Study and the history that goes with it. Excellent!
I love the polite dunking on the keto and carnivore bros. I hate how much that crap has proliferated, and I've watched coworkers yo-yo diet over the years because of it.
On a side note: as a figure skater, I really hate the comments sections of figure skating videos. There are way too many armchair judges in there.
I can agree with you more. I see year after year female students going on these fad diets and their grades start fall within a month. They can't focus and they become nutritent deficient. It so sad that they get sucked into this cult like way of eating and nothing can be done to help them.
Amazing! Your guide Christine Hess followed in her mother's footsteps! What a great, monumental research effort the Framingham Heart Study is. It's just so frustrating that so-called social media influencers are so incentivized to mislead their followers and that their followers are so eager to be misled. It's like a death spiral.
The google algo does it really. They push extremes as it keeps people glued to YT longer, hence more add revenue for more hits and time on it.
I always get shawn baker as a recommend I am vegan. Do I ever watch them, no of course not but like alex jones before the ban they always recommend him.
Ther results societally considered are not good.
But raw naked capitalism it is what it is............ profitable.
Censorship is not recommended in democracies but how they recommend things may be recommended, 999 uut of say 1000 recommends is probably where they should go.
But they never will till we regulate it which we never will, just censor or tell them to censor.
Has anyone noticed this tactic? I will get a silly reply to my comment in my notifications, but when I try to reply, the offending comment has been deleted and can't be replied to. Well, I will just copy that reply here so everyone can see how inane it is :
a64750 replied: "one day; a Study will show an only Protein only diet just as effective as only Vegetables only"
That ending was brilliant
Most of all it was the overuse of antibiotics both directly on humans and indirectly in food and through soil contamination that played a crucial role in the obesity epidemic. And it is not directly antibiotic toxicity but their effects of the human microbiome and environmental bacteria.
Thank you Chris this is awesome content :]
It's so sad there is so much mis information out there. Thank you for going deep into the FACTS!
Thanks for this inside look at the Framingham study. I share the frustration about the agenda driven media influencers who are either scientifically illiterate or too lazy to quickly fact check their assertions ... or maybe just plain disingenuous :). Having studies like Framingham is a godsend.
The biggest influence is our parents usually. Fast foods and poor eating habits, lack of exercise and sleep are to blame. But our GOVERNMENT ALSO HAS TO TAKE THE BLAME because they have allowed small doses of poisons into our canned food and other processed foods.
The Sweeting of America starting in the 60’s is the biggest cause of the USA’s obesity! In the 50’s & 60’s my parents drank gin & tonics. The tonic water was bitter! My brother and our friends were around 10 or 11 yrs old. My friend and I had only one water pistol btwn us and my brother had a water pistol like mine but his friend had one connected by a hose to a water container on his belt. How could I even the odds? I filled my water pistol with my parents tonic water. Then when my brother and his friend attacked I would aim for their eyes and mouth which burned their eyes and the bitter taste in their mouths. Now, why am I telling you this. At any grocery or liquor store pick up a bottle of tonic water and read the ingredients: the first one will usually be “high fructose corn syrup or sugar with a calorie count of 100! You’ll have to search for Fever Tree or Q tonic to get less sweet and lower calorie count. Read the label on everything in your cart and you will find high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup or sugar. Most companies don’t use sugar bc it’s more expensive than the corn syrups. Almost every food has been adulterated with two of these ingredients. American sausage has sugar or corn syrup but sausage made in Germany doesn’t! Why has everything been sweetened? Bc it is addicting and good for companies bottom line.
THANKS for another HIGH QUALITY & ENTERTAINING video Chris! I'm curious to hear more about why they choose to give a Boost Shake- as it has such horrendous ingredients, and can barely be considered nutritious imho.
Good question, Emily. Next week I'll publish the whole interview with Daniel Levy, but before the interview, I'll have them answer the questions like yours that I failed to ask him.
@@Viva-Longevityyou failed to ask such an obvious question. I bet you couldn't bring yourself to overcome your biases
Thank God for your videos! Rational, logical, evidence-based common sense 😊❤
Zero actual rebuttals in the entire video. Praising Keys? Really?
I made a short video for you: ua-cam.com/video/tJOA7noOxBg/v-deo.html
I don't know, my wife and i are on a carnivour diet, with limited greens and fruit. We are dropping weight, feeling better? We want to give it a year and decide. All my blood work is great except cholesterol, but that has always been high as was my dads, who flew in WWII and always was thin??? He passed at 89 from cancer.
Congrats on losing weight, go get a calcium test with a cardiologist. You guys have probably lost weight by cutting out sugar and processed foods. The science behind keto/carnivore is damning. Humans aren’t obligate carnivores either. You guys should switch to a whole food plant based diet ASAP. No sugar or processed food. You can definitely read more about the impacts of your dietary choices through Nature Journal & the Lancet
@sayyadinasri thank you for your reply. I will get the calcium score. Could not imagine being a vegetarian, but I'd consider it if I thought it right. Also, the Lancet said ivermectin was taboo. Just about to the end of "the war on Invemectin" gotta say the medical community has scared me away. I was told from the dic who saw me in my car to just go home and if I didn't feel better go to the ER. Basically go home and die, your 63 no big deal. Since then and after reading this book, some scary stuff about our sad medical community including the Lancet. But I'll always keep an open mind.
This is an outstanding video. There can be little doubt as to the science going on at the center. For those doubters out there, watch and evaluate.
Great presentation. I liked the lead of denial spouting influencers. A bit off the subject, like yourself my career was earth sciences and these days, besides nutrition, I follow issues involving energy and climate. I do not like the term "Dark Ages", but I fear the growing trend of orchestrated denialism. My fear is that collectively we will surrender truth. My only hope is to live long enough to see that truth prevails, a never ending goal.
Thanks! Yeah, the climate change denial is crazy. 😵💫
Nonsponsored MD's have several advantages over most Phd's. A Phd typically needs grant money, so they have to please the funder. They often have relatively narrow educations, and cannot connect fields. They are usually rewarded for staying in the contemporary paradigm, not for thinking big, and connecting fields. Watson & Crick figured out DNA b/c they could connect disparate fields. Many researchers and teachers are sponsored, and again have to please those sponsored. A free thinking scholar can often out think a bunch of grant hungry Phd's or commercialized MD's. When I was a young doctor, I was intimidated by big titles, especially from the big name universities. Now that I have been to many of those places, and have read the papers that come from those places, I know that the logic and the writing matters. Most big names in medicine got their positions by social skills, not by knowledge; by following the paradigm, not by any interesting work. "A genius is someone who transmorms their field" - DK Simonton = expert on geniuses.
Do you know what diet and lifestyle geniuses consume? Do you have a list of these people? Thanks a lot.
I wish the title were true. I never heard of the study and it is great they do it. But unfortunately it is not changeing the world as long as we allow the industries to manipulate us and our politicians.
Thanks for posting this. Very interesting and informative. I delete most nutrition articles I find on social media and block them hoping it might help in some small way in the algorithms. Only the truly scientifically based ones I take a second look at. I went mostly plant based 10 years ago due to digestive issues. Dairy was the biggest culprit and red meat was always too tough for my liking so that was easy to give up completely. I'm 68, 5'8", 145 lbs, bmi 22, long blonde hair still...so far so good. So many of my close relatives are obese, diabetic, have cancer, heart disease, and sadly some have died from these. Diet and nutrition seems an easy fix.
This video is telling you (vegans/vegetarians) what you want to hear and believe. Everyone needs to do their own N=1 experiment to see what works best for them. There are many who have horrible sensitivities/reactions to plants. It’s real for them. They feel, move, and have the best mental health eating an animal based diet. They found help by researching and finding doctors that are going against everything we’ve been told and lead to believe is “healthy”.
This is not a vegan/vegetarian study. It's a study of everyday people by scientists and doctors with no diet ideology.
@PlantChompers Chris I believed those doctors for several years. It took me a long time to realise that their emphatic assertions were not correct. They speak with such confidence it’s not surprising that people believe them. Thank you for what you do
