  • Vegan diet proponents insist that high-protein diets reduce lifespan. But what if protein - and specifically the amino acid taurine, found almost exclusively in animal foods - could actually help you live longer? 🥩 Is this what the research really says or is popular keto influencer Thomas DeLauer extrapolating from studies in mice and petri dishes? 🐭 Watch Dr. Westman’s reaction to find out. #protein #health #nutrition #longevity

    Thomas just strikes me as a salesman first, health expert third. He's handsome and pumped up, but so what? That's not why I went carnivore (and gave up "supplements," and stopped listening to gym rats). I did it to fight IBS, joint inflammation, depression, and to clean up my blood sugar issues. I'm 61 and I finally feel (and look) healthy. End of story.

      @@wickeddrac7489I started with eggs, bacon, butter, beef, chicken and pork. I went with the least expensive options for meat(I always check weekly sales at my local grocery stores) and always go for pasture raised eggs. As time went on I have cut out chicken meat, and most pork including bacon. I find it just doesn’t sit well with me(except for a pasture raised chicken I had once). I do make sure to get vitamin c, either through lemon/lime water or vitamin c infused green tea. From there just follow what your body tells you, it gets so much easier once you’ve cut out the crap foods. I have added occasional dry roasted pistachios or pecans(1/4 cup) or blueberries (1/3 cup). I’ve also added some extra virgin olive oil and avocado oil.
      Some people will claim only meat and salt it true carnivore. These people are like those annoying vegans who are in our faces about it. Use seasonings if you can tolerate them. Eat some fruit if you can. 95 percent of your calories are from eggs and meat? That’s carnivore.

      Good thing those cows can chomp down lots of grass, weeds, flowers, and whatever else is on the land. Every steak you get is filled with diverse green goodness and the land is left well fertilized by the cow and bacteria in his poop. Unfortunately, when you look across most land, how many animals do you see? Seems to me they cut down all the trees, and raze the land every few months with a new plant crop killing all the birds, insects, animals, etc. And then you have our friends at the World Health Organization telling people to not eat more than a deck of cards worth of meat a day and setting policy guidelines to reduce the animal load further. Soils won't get any better if we keep killing the animals and mono-cropping. People need to simply eat more beef. More the better, otherwise, these animals are going to be removed and factory protein will replace them and I doubt that will be healthy for anybody simply because the diversity is limited and the cell cultures come from embryos.

      @@downhill64 No. Traditional farming techniques did not rely on chemicals. People often took their waste/scraps, used manure and other things to stimulate the soil. Sometimes you have to let the soil rest too. If the soil is replenished with nutritive things that are leftover, there is little waste. It is like a rejuvenative loop. Compost is made from waste and worms and microbes break it down, making it nutrient dense. It is then added back into the soil. I don't see what the problem is with doing the same on a larger scale. I don't see why the investment in chemicals has been so heavy. Mankind is very strange. It does all of these self-destructive things, scratches it head, blames others, and then makes others the scapegoats for the elitist decisions.

    With non-essential amino acids, I guess the idea is the following: Say 150 years ago we typically ate 10g of glycine and 5g of taurine per day and as an adult your body was also able to produce 10g of glycine and 5g of taurine. Now, today, many people eat zero grams of glycine and zero grams of taurine. If you then also eat less of the precursors and your body has difficulty producing the AAas it gets older, you may end up with fractions of glycine and taurine as compared to an older person 150 years ago. So, I think everyone should eat enough of the non-essential amino acids, especially if you don't eat that much protein and other precursors.

    I have become highly, highly skeptical of studies over the course of my life. There is what is real in nature - and there is the stuff our studies say ... and then there are the studies "bought and paid for" to create an income stream for someone - or to promote an ideology, and so on. I am also skeptical of what influencers say.
    What I've come to realize is that, for me, my so-called N=1 study - i.e. how I live, how I feed myself, and so on - is what really matters. If carnivore diet is gonna shorten my life and give me that big heart attack "before my time", I don't care. I feel so good on this diet that I'd rather feel great for the time I have left. I'm not going back to carbs.
    Regarding this topic - from this vid - I would find it more helpful to know, from a doctor's perspective, is getting more protein ever bad for us. If so, under what context. Is taking taurine and carnitine, as a sup., ever bad. Is there evidence that a person with x gets bad condition y if doing to much of either? Which protein sources have more? I've been told there's more taurine in chicken than in beef, except that really tough beef may have more taurine - like the beef neck bones I use a couple times a month to make soup. THanks.

    I have been involved with mineral science for over 20+ yrs. Supplementation is important along with diet. It also changes over time as your needs change. The biggest factor in mineral science is the oxidation rate. How slow or fast do you burn minerals? Correct diet can help a person balance the oxidation rate but not always. The oxidation rate in part is being effected by the fight and flight mode. If you have hidden stress your nervous system is too stimulated which effects your absorption of minerals in food and supplements. The many hundreds of tissue mineral tests I have studied show this.
    Getting rid of carbs, sugars and processed foods are a great start but in order to balance the oxidation rate you need Correct diet, Supplementation and distressing techniques. Just eating animal protein is not the full picture as there are more factors. If you burn minerals too slowly you are depositing those minerals in your cells and tissues. In essence clogging your body. If you burn minerals too quickly you cannot keep up with the mineral needs and the body will cannibalize itself for the mineral needs. Balancing the speed at which you burn minerals is key. Again just eating animal protein all though healthy is not the full picture. It's just one piece of the puzzle. Our toxic world has compromised our health. Never in human history has there been a time of such challenge so we cannot compare what our annsestors did with what we need to do. We are in uncharted waters and our solutions to protect ourselves are more involved then just diet all though a critical piece to the puzzle.

    My understanding is that Taurine is the one amino acid that leaks out of cells from slaughtered and cooked meat and our meat is aged for like a month before you buy it at the store. Also, taurine production is an amino acid your body can produce, but disproportionally decreases with aging compared to other amino acids. So, for me, that is enough to supplement Taurine at all ages.

      I live in a rural area in the Philippines and at our local market where the meat is not aged. However because it is not aged it is so tough you have to pressure cook it for 30 minutes to be able to chew it. Aging meat tenderizes meat so you don’t have to cook it so long.

But, I think in general the Taurine is going to leak out of any animal that isn't eaten on site. It also leaks out more when cooked, so cook it in some water and save the water. This is why cats were getting defects on cooked meat. The Taurine leaked out.

      I am from California and when I first came to the Philippines I was upset I could not find any tender beef. I started to google to see why the beef is tender in the US. That’s when I learned that in the US they have rooms that are almost freezing but not and that the cow hangs on hooks whole so that the weight of the meat pulls on the muscles and tendons and make them tender. Also in high class steak restaurants they have rooms to age there meat longer to get them more tender. Because they used to age them longer in the Stated but they have shortened the aging time. Because stores want more water left in the meat, so the meat would be heavier. There is a lot of water in freshly slaughtered meat. In a tropical 3rd world country big rooms that are almost freezing, that would cost too much. I am sure another reason is the only cows in the Philippines are Burma work cows, I don’t think they make for the best eating cow. I have been here 14 years and I have just found a place I can buy a steak that is okay to eat, I am sure it is imported from Australia. We don’t have dairy’s here either, when I first came there was no real cheese and only powdered milk. You can find it now but it is imported. Sorry I don’t know anything about Taurine, I am sure you are right.

I think I’ve bought into one need extra protein / amino acids as one ages > 65. (Sarcopenia’). I have added muscle (considerable) without increasing waitlist size. I do add taurine, magnesium. nmn. glycine, l-citrulline, creatine. Collegen to my kale blend at lunch .. I guess I’m low fat and low carb .. ldlc is around 60mg/sl (apoB similar)/dl and no longer need statins. I have no issue with supplements and take the normal longevity stack AKG, vitD, O3, B complex, folate, astaxanthin, iodine, q10, nattokinase.. I’m sure I can get some of these from foods but at least with supplements I’m hopefully getting an age adjusted nutrient level. I’d prefer not to be “adequate” . (I rely on consumer labs to test the supplements I take).
    My attitude is if there is some data supporting a supplement and no harms, I’ll pick and choose some supplement stack which may mitigate age related decline … nmn being a good example. Plasma nad levels 26umol/L (no nmn) and 96uMol/L on nmn … I feel no physical difference (i pulse nmn every 6 months and retest nad levels) but … just in case .. I’m back taking it.

    Does horrible constant diarrhea make you live longer? How about higher risk of heart attack from over-eating saturated fats?
    The problem is with bad carbs, too much sugar, white flour, etc. Not carbs. Our ancestors ate a ton of carbs from potatoes to rice to vegetables to fruits. And they lived longer outside of deadly infections.

    These folks never talk about caution or contraindications for what they are promoting or suggesting. For example, people who are prone to kidney stones should not go on high protein diets. Why don’t they include a section on who should not do what they recommending.

      Dr. Mercola, as I image most of you know, has flipped from a promoter of Keto and is now a very high carb guy. This week Dr. Mercola says that he eats over 400 grams of carbs a day and his fasting insulin measured .4 recently. Dr. Saladino also promotes a high carb eating a lot fresh fruit, but he also still eats "head to tail" meat. Two well known doctors are now eating "crow" since they have both written books (Mercola many books) about how great the Keto or Carnivore diets are. Then there is Dr. Ken Berry who is 100% carnivore and says that he is in the best condition that he ever has been in. Multiple doctors with totally different diets that all have good health. A person has to see what works best for themselves. I have found that most doctors are the last people that I would ever ask about food unless they have been specifically trained in diets and health and you can bet your last dollar that nearly no doctor has such training; definitely not from medical school. I have had to buy and give doctors books on basic nutrition. Just ask your doctor if they know what magnesium is needed for.

    If the animal based diet is the ideal human diet, then there would be no need for supplements.
    Besides, supplements are artificially, chemically (toxic) manufactured concoctions in which enzymes are destroyed during the process of manufacturing them.
    Without enzymes no digedtion, absorbtion or utilization can take place, or perhaps minimally so.
    Supplements are a huge money spinner.
    The studies he quotes done on worms, are laughable examples to have any value on the human body. It holds no value.

As many people as those on the Keto and Carnivore diets tout these high starch/low fat diets for losing weight and curing many of their ailments.

    There is a vital flaw in your way of thinking about supplements. Sure, maybe back in the 1930's or 40's you could get everything that you needed from your diet, but the food grown today, especially in the good 'ol USA, is not the same as the food grown back then. You would need to eat 15 tomatoes today to equal the same nutrition of one single tomato from back then. Same for every other grown food source, We have abused and depleted all the 'good stuff' from the soil that our food is grown in. This is where supplements fill the gap.
    It's very simple. Your body either gets the building blocks it needs - or it doesn't. If you're not supplementing, then there is no way your body is getting everything that it needs to maintain good health.
