What a funny and eloquent speaker Dr. M. Eades is. I enjoy learning about the human dietary evolution situation. The challenge is to entice others into being curious learners of the proper human diet. 2024 is the year for that work.
Brilliant. Simple and to the point. All we need to do now is change what is taught at medical school and dietetic school, plus change worldwide dietary guidelines so that the present and future generations will enjoy significantly better health.
We need to change UA-cam censoring the carnivore diet !! This information is being slowly strangled under the instruction of the wholly corrupt World Health Organisation !!!
Been on carnivore for 2 to 3 weeks. My fasting blood sugar this morning was 117, down from over 200 when I started. I don't get hungry, I no longer get cravings, and I don't have the urge to binge eat.
Just be careful ... colon cancer is a real risk. I do not buy that story Dr. Eads i sharing here, since I do not believe in macroevolution :D God gave us all kind of plants and fruit to eat in Eden and permitted to eat meat only after the flood. it is wise to eat balanced died of plants and meats.
Dr. Michael Eades should definitely go on Wise Traditions podcast sometime as a guest. I would like to hear a in depth discussion on the historical origins of low carb diet.
Fascinating! This is the ultimate clinical trial analysis. This man and his wife are very easy to follow and understand, well spoken and thoughtful in their presentations.
Love this guy’s way of explaining things. What he says makes so much sense! Wish he could have been my prof at university! This is a brilliant explanation of why we should go no/lo carb.
It's much more fascinating how ignorant and unaware people like you are. No it doesn't. All primitive tribes eat 75% plant based diets, with most of the calories coming from starch.
Love his presentation style. I love being primarily beef, egg, and cheese. The only veggie i eat is romaine lettuce, and im good with that. I feel so much better being off grains, vegetables, and fruit.
Thanks for sharing this information. I learnt a fair bit from it. Interesting the demise of the plant based family tree part in our ancient past. I liked the brain size being linked to our smaller stomach. I have not heard this before. Great talk :)
Great talk. Very important to take a holistic approach of past human history and evolution through more than just a singular narrow perception of science to understand human physiology and nutrition.
DarthCarnivore I hear ya! You know the ancient Egyptians used to be called the "bread people" by they're contemporaries... because of their "heart healthy" diets, guess what they found after examining the mummified remains? These people had modern diseases like the western world today: tooth decay, heart disease, evidence of Metabolic Syndrome. Interesting isn't it! Anyway, this was a great presentation. Meat on! Heal on! 🍖 🥓 🥩 🍳 🧈 🦞 🦀 🍗 🧀 🐟🐚 🍤
ps interesting i wonder if the low carb ppl who chose it knew he died from kidney disease at 48 😢 (Apparently Albéniz had "Bright's disease" - "acute nephritis accompanied by high BP and heart disease" 🤔... hmmm. was this metabolic syndrome/ diabetic nephropathy I wonder?)

Very interesting and well presented! I thought that the ancient elites (royalty and priesthood) consumed more meat than the average civilian bc of the animal sacrifices and hunting privilege. That’s why I am surprised about the findings in the royal mummies.
I thought the same thing. But I guess it just goes to show you that humans have created some pretty tasty carbohydrate-based foods. Obviously the elite could have as much of whatever they wanted, they probably did eat meat but they really liked their bread. Clearly very much to their detriment.
Its 5 am and I've just eaten a meal of fried chicken smothered with mozzarella cheese. I will eat another meal based on meat, peanut butter, glass of milk around midday then eat nothing else until early tomorrow morning around 4 or 5 am, this works fine for me, perhaps others may differ slightly to suit their personal preference. The important thing is a protein and fat based along with around 16 to 18 hours until next meal the following day..for me this is perfect 👌
Richard Johnson is a quack just like this guy, it's doesn't matter he says. Heart disease is comprised entirely of cholesterol and saturated fat, those are the drivers. Eskimos mummies reveal heart disease to, on an all meat diet, what's the excuse there.
@@LiberatedMind1 Actually that's incorrect. It was only after the introduction of a westernised diet full of processed carbohydrates that Inuit began to develop heart disease.
"can you please put a video on new health fad in india called millets?" Uhhh, millet is a very healthy grain that people have been eating for thousands of years.
Davo here from sunny beautiful Australia. Here we go, over and over !

When you find the diet that does that for you you are on a "winning ticket".It might be keto,carnivore,vegetarian or vegan,etc. My Lovely wife and I found our "winning ticket" 30 years ago. I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I didn't "leave home" till I was about 50,"leaving home"is a sometimes used analogy for finally deciding to think for oneself as opposed to believing everything we have been told and or taught by our parents,teachers,the government and media to do with our culture. It's time to sharpen our critical thinking skills and employ more logic,critical observation,ethics etc. My wife and I were brought up on the standard Australian diet (appropriate acronym SAD) BUT we were waking up with nightmares knowing we were supporting industries that had a business model that condones lack of empathy,lack of compassion,cruelty and exploitation,especially females ( think caged hens at 10 per square meter,sows in farrowing crates and of course the ghastly,ghastly dairy industry where raping and stealing is part of their business as usual).

You think your diet works but have you tried carnivore? I tried it on a whim, as a joke, thinking it would make me feel bad. I had no health issues. My current diet was “working” just fine for me. But holy crap when I switched to carnivore I felt incredible and discovered I had no idea what I was missing before. I feel superhuman eating this way. My old “normal” was indeed pathological but without trying carnivore I never would’ve know .
So you ignore the exploitation of bees, migrant labourers, and even child labour in the production of plant crops? The billions of wild animals poisoned and shot annually to establish, grow, protect and harvest plant foods? I have my own livestock. You cannot steal milk from a cow. It must be willingly given. And any stress will disrupt milk production. A stressed cow isn't making the farmer money. One bully in the herd can cause some cows not to grow. Not all cows are nice. My country has exceptionally high animal welfare standards. They have come about due to public pressure and because so much of our economy relies on animal agriculture. We'd be a very poor country without it. Perhaps actually do something to demand better in your own country. Don't destroy your health for the myth you are somehow saving animals. The same people making vegan fake meats and selling you cereals also produce real meat and are responsible for factory farming.
great presentation other than highly implausible we hunted all megafauna to extinction ...look up 'the younger dryas asteroid impact'...makes alot more sense ...shortly after agriculture pops up
Hmmm, what I gathered from this is that the Egyptian diet was unbalanced, with too much bread and too little plant foods and meat? Cut the bread, but keep the unprocessed carbs instead… that seems more prudent?
Now you tell me vegan diets don’t work! Lol. Tried plant based for more than 2 years, became pre diabetic and allergic to lots of things, just plain unhealthy. Since going LCHF health issues have resolved and all blood tests normal.
But this doesn’t apply to modern humans on a vegan diet who courtesy of synthetic supplements look much healthy e.g. Michael Gregor, Neil Barnard, James Cameron. 😂
"Humans beings evolved under circumstances in which food, particularly rich foods SUCH AS MEAT (my emphasis), was scarce." -Biochemistry. Berg et al, 8th ed. (2015). This is the problem. Sure, it might be a challenge to catch a rabbit or pig (or an assortment of other small animals), spear a fish, fell a bird or steal some eggs (how hard is that?), more challenging but rewarding to hunt bison, rhinocerous, deer, mastodon, mammoth, ox, horse, antelope, mouflon (sheep), ibex (goat), bear, dog, seal, walrus, etc (but not hard to find any time of year); but how scarce were edible grains or fruits, nuts, vegetables or tubers, especially out of season, before the invention of agriculture? But unsubstantiated, inconsistent with paleobiological evidence, and even counterintuitive statements like these in textbooks very recently and perhaps to this day go unchallenged and uncorrected.
Because diets high in meat create stable populations with moderate fertility. High grain/low meat diets correlate with high fertility, disease outbreaks, and boom and bust type populations. This is well explained in the article Meat and Nicotinamide: A Causal Role in Human Evolution, History, and Demographics.
In reality, lots of evidence proves that early humans and their ancestors ate lots of plant foods at most places and most points in our history. And the span of diets ranges from nearly vegan to nearly carnivore. Having said that, it's totally unscientific to think that what early humans ate at some cherry-picked point in our history proves anything about what is healthiest for us to eat now. It doesn't and can't. All that matters is evidence regarding overall long-term health outcomes, and that evidence strongly favors diets dominated by whole plant foods.
It’s not unscientific, it’s evolution. And it applies to the diets of every other animal and creature on the planet. And there is lots of evidence of plant eating but only in modern humans going back the last hundred thousand years or so, but it’s frequently a one-off specific to some culture at some time - some legumes here in this society, some grains in that one, some seeds in this other, etc which doesn’t help us generalize about humanity as a whole and was likely done due to a lack of animal products available. Whereas we have roughly 2.5 million years of such high meat eating throughout most of it that, as stated in this talk, isotopic bone analysis shows us to have been hyper carnivorous. We’re hunters. We’re apex predators. Meat has been prized and always eaten by primitive cultures when available.
The masai eating traditional diets had atherosclerosis too and yet, none died due to what the “disease” supposedly causes, heart attacks or strokes or more. Which suggests it’s not actually a good marker of anything.
Why can't we choose to be low carb because it's healthier than the standard American sugary processed foods diets without believing the lies that we were once apes. We were never Apes any other kind of primate. We were created human in the image of God separate from the animals completely different thousands of years ago, not millions. But I will still choose to be low carb because it's better than the sad diet
We became human eating bone marrow. Mind that no other animals can eat bone marrow from large bones because they cannot break it. Humans were the first to break it using stones. Rest is history.
In response to Yiayia3 comment: Well said!!! I 100% agree with you COMPLETELY! Excellent talk & the case about low carb being ancestrally appropriate for the human species but why can't we be low carb & still recognize & accept the creation account as fact! I don't believe in evolution either. But I believe low carb is the proper human diet too! Meat on! Heal on! 🧈 🍳 🍖 🥓 🥩 🍗🦐 🦀 🥛
The old testament makes it clear that meat and milk are what we are supposed to be eating, plus the 7 traditional fruits etc grown in Israel. Definitely figs, dates, pomegranates and I think apricots….
Sorry, but the tests on Mummies are not representative. Only the rich had the money to be burried that way, statues and so on show always the ideal not the reality. If you go like that, the people in the future would think we where a society of Supermodels. The majority of ancient Egypts are totally gone. I don't say that a ton of grain is a good idea, but this Mummy stuff is nonsense for me.
And yet he pointed out that apparently, all kinds of people got mummified, not just the rich. And the evidence showed in their teeth and in other cardiovascular conditions.
At 28:20 he begins to explain that he found stable isotope studies of various levels of societal classes that showed all levels of societal classes exhibited atherosclerosis.
Does not demonstrate anything. We don't have mummies of prehistoric hunters and we cannot compare their relative health. You eat what is available, which is not necessarily what is best for you. In order to understand what are we evolved for we must analyze what we ate 50.000 years ago but, so to speak, 30 millions years ago. Hunting is a cultural adaptation. If I give you a rabbit and tell you to eat it, you wouldn't know where to begin from, while a wolf would eat it with the same ease we eat an apple.
Fairy tales for people that are too blind to see that God created man. Random chance cannot create order. It takes more faith to believe in this God denying lie than obvious observation that the complexity we see is random.

14:10 "This is plant-based man." I died so hard that I am now extinct.
It's always fascinating to see the science that proves humans have been eating as much meat as we could get for as long as we've been on this planet.
It's much more fascinating how ignorant and unaware people like you are. No it doesn't. All primitive tribes eat 75% plant based diets, with most of the calories coming from starch.
