Yikes, I'm so sorry to hear about your heart attack. Loving to read about food history as I do, this dietary pattern has clearly been with us for milennia: we love meat and fat, when we transition to eat a lot of it we feel and look great for 5, 10, 20 years or more, but it almost always turns into a sad movie. Versions of high meat & fat diets have a short half life and I don't know why, except maybe the founders of them rarely age well and live long. Am I wrong?
Now that was a good video. Thought provoking and didn’t feel like it was slanted either way. So thank you for not being condescending, overly bias and sharing the facts. It is greatly appreciated.

I grew up in greece and Italy fifty years ago, very small amounts of olive oil and sauces were put on pizzas, original Naples pizzas have no cheese or meat and even fifty years ago in Rome had no cheese or meat, a very small amount of sauce with a small amount of olive oil, was put on pasta. Salads also were given just a tiny drizzle of oil. Fried foods and oily foods were eaten in some of the poorer and some of the richer areas, it was a preference to some but it was un argued that it wasn’t good for you.
This video lumps in olive oil with the industrially processed seed oils. Yes olive oil has very low linoleic acid content, it's not that bad. But canola, soybean, corn and sunflower oil have a lot of linoleic acid, and don't have such a long history of human consumption.

Enjoyably thorough discussion of the science and with useful comparisons. Good to have back up knowledge to help us here. So appreciate it that you showed that age and fitness makes a difference in what is recommended. My quite unscientific way of thinking about nuts, seeds and plant oil is about how difficult they've been for humans to get hold of in past millennia. This might sort of suggest how much we should eat of them. Coconuts, high up the tree, very hard shell, maybe only a little. Seeds, pick them off walking through fields, probably more. Walnuts, hazelnuts, it takes a while to shell them with a rock, so however much you can be bothered to shell for dinner, about a handful. How hard is it to squeeze out oil from olives? It takes time and effort. Avocados, how big were they in past millennia, fairly small.Anyway, very grateful for all the scientists trying to figure it out. Great topic.
@Mary Davidson in the first min. "Confusion over seed oils," " current panic over seed oils" olives, and avocados are NOT vegetables they are fruits. And unlike "seed" oils which this video does not differentiate, the oil from olives and Avocados do not come from their pit or seed. It comes from the "meat" of the fruit. It's very disingenuous.

This episode was so valuable to me as I struggle to make more whole food plant-based meals without oils. Almost all my favorite recipes start or end (on my salads) with some form of oils. Thank you, once again, for an indepth, well researched video!
I think some of these vegan/nutritarian purists go overboard in their animosity towards vegetable oils. Does anyone think the Okinawans or Sardinians rigorously reviewed dietary studies before consuming their longevity diets? There is plenty of space to include high quality nut, seed and vegetable oils in the diet with harm. The important parts of dietary habits are minimizing animal based foods and highly processed carbs and maximizing fruits, whole grains and vegetables, particularly green leafy veggies in a raw state. People can over-complicate a good diet. You should be able to look into anyone's shopping cart in a grocery store and predict whether or not their diet will lead to metabolic syndrome diseases.
EXCELLENT! what a great great explanation of how statistics works for epidemiology and earth science, I am an Ecologist and I never could explain these things as well to anyone... no influencer has ever explained it in such way, many of these influencers are former biochemists, or just journalists... butb they don't seem to have understood statistics...thank you! now I wish I could explain this to my kids :) , also the story of your life and how you grew up, you are an incredible role model, incredible person really, by the way i very much enjoy your own channel and was missing your videos, they do help me every day since I have a child with chronic kidney disease (congenital), it is very hard to navigate information nowadays...
Been through this journey and reached this whole food, plant based, but with fish (mostly sardines and salmon) and occasional other meats. Meats getting fewer by days, so we will see.
Thank you Chris for another super informative video. One complaint: It is difficult for me to follow your videos. You cover so much ground that I have a hard time picking out a common continuity thread to follow. Your videos require a lot of stop and start, time to look certain people up, and to look up studies referenced. There is a lot of note taking involved. I guess my finding fault is actually a compliment. One direct question: You mentioned the era when we decided to empty out our mental institutions, and thus you finding yourself on the street with your mom. I remember this time period too. I'd like to find some history on this sad period in our history. Do you have a book, or know where I can go to find out more about this? Thanks again for another well done video. PS ~ Dr. Ornish had a huge impact on my life.
Very well done! I watched this video twice. Found it helpful. I have a better take on vegetable oils now. I will continue to avoid them because I can gain weight rather easily but I’m not so afraid of them anymore,a little goes along way. Thank you.
I get my fats from whole food sources like nuts,seeds,avocados,olives.I eat organic,raw peanut butter too and occasionally I eat out and then I might have some oil. Oil is processed and not that good for us.
@@herbbowler2461no… oil is just oil. Everything that’s healthy is not in oil (the secondary plant substances, carbs, fiber, micro nutrients). There sometimes is a little rest of secondary plant substances or vitamin e but the whole plant has more of it. So instead of drinking olive oil you should rather eat olives. Also your brain and all cells run on glucose so you need carbs. Protein is not for energy right but fat is either. We just need Omega 3 and 6 from a few flax seeds, walnuts and much greens.
I just did a blood work after two months eating a lot of olive oil, a lot of it plus a lot of nuts like 200gr of walnuts and almonds everyday yet my cholesterol dropped from 173 to 156 and my LDL went from 113 to 105, still eating fish twice a week and from time to time a burger and my average fiber intake is around 50g daily
@@ChappySinclair my ldl dropped to 80 after I removed saturated fats and when I added it again, it increased by 30 pt. 9 pts from what ? It might not be significant and what did you cut and didn’t you change anything in your lifestyle besides adding beef tallow ?
I wish there were more studies like this on more than just one person. This had not been studied well enough. The jury is still out on nuts, seeds, olive and avacado oil.
I became a Seventh-day Adventist in my mid 20's and since then I have lost some weight as I've switched to a meatless diet. I don't claim perfection but it has sure helped me in the long run. I appreciate the work that went into this video, thank you very much.
Artfully done! I am grateful that Chris has devoted so much time and effort to providing the actual background of so many pivotal studies. It makes me a little less reluctant to use small amounts of olive oil, avocados, and canola oil when cooking in the future. This video is very helpful to persons like me who know there is a history of heart disease in the family and want to avoid our grandparents' mistakes in eating too many dairy and animal products with their accompanying saturated fat. I am hopeful that more of us laypeople will be able to educate ourselves on the real science of nutrition. It seems that we have to take responsibility to really educate ourselves because mainstream media typically does not appear to deliver outstanding journalism in this area. I agree that mainstream media should feature true experts like Walter Willett of Harvard and Dean Ornish, MD, a clinical professor at UC San Francisco Medical School.
There is a nutrition information war is going on the internet. I ate no fat vegan diet for 2 years, unfortunately it is not for me, ruined my health. Goiter ( needed surgery) IBS, diverticulitis, weight gain… 4 personal very healthy friends, who lived over hundred, ate everything, eggs and bacon every day. India’s vegetarians live 20 years less than meat eaters in Switzerland or Hong Kong. Unfortunately US population become obese since no fat diet was introduced. So confusing! I think nutrition is very personal because our systems are so different
They may be different, however people on these oils do not live longer ( as one study showed). There is no indication that they prevent plaque buildup.
Until we can produce a body of evidence that demonstrates heart disease reversal using a high fat diet, I'm going er on the side of caution and strictly moderate my fat consumption, regardless of whether it comes from oil, nuts, seeds, or avocados.
Thanks for sharing a bit of your experiences with your mother's mental illness. My father grew up with family violence and it affected my own experiences growing up. He never struck me or my mother but we had to abruptly move several times after he knocked out a variety of other adult men. In most cases they probably didn't understand why he rendered them unconscious. Dad confided in me after each event after he realized I was no-tell. Mom and I were both deeply affected. This was in the 1950's into the 1960's. In 1960 we moved to another state where my name was used to conceal his location. Sure, he never hit me but I grew up knowing my father was a potential killer. As I grew up I wondered if I was right believing the potential part.
Congratulations on getting through your tough early times. You are a survivor and have moved on to a better life. I am glad to hear that your mother was able to provide support when you were young, and it sounds like you were able to give her support as well.
@plantchompers question regarding oils that wasn’t covered in the video. Does it make a difference if the oils are heated, such as in use of frying, vs consumed unheated?
Seed oil has always been used in India. Ancient scriptures mention sesame oil for rituals and cooking. We still use cold pressed sesame black seed and mustard seed oil. So we are talking 3 to 4000 years ago.
I don't think that the seed oils of pre 1940s were a problem because they were cold pressed or stone pressed. I think a lot of people who comment on seed oils of today point that it's because today's seed oils are industrial processes often heating or even boiling multiple times in the process and hyper filtering them along the way. Hopefully this is addressed in this video.
When I first went WFPB, I purposely chose a very boring, oil-free diet that consisted of a lot of plain raw and steamed veggies and limited fruits while nuts (once a week) and some complex grains (max one cup a day) were a treat. It was probably close to a Joel Fuhrman diet without knowing it. Flavored vinegars really scratched that "salty" itch I was missing, and weight loss was very easy because I was consistent. Then I decided to add in a bit of fats with oils, avocado, and nuts and immediately loss stopped and gains happened. Same for my GF. I did enjoy the tastes again, but I also felt weighed down after eating them. Now we stick to the oil-free hummus and raw veggies, even if we get odd looks when eating that for breakfast. It really is true that one diet does not fit all.
You sound just like me. I have mostly disconnected from food. I just eat raw and Boring. But im getting all my WFPB requirements in. I do like to have a warm lentil curry and quinoa soup. And roaster sweet potato has become a treat. I think I need to liven up my raw meals.
Good informative content. I've been low carb for 2 years and now need a bypass. I'd love to know more about what foods you eat to control your familial high cholesterol.
You can reverse much of the damage with a whole food (ala rich, pre- and probiotic rich, rather low fat and high complex carb) vegan diet. Pomegranate, blue berries , etc. help your arteries, etc. Basically all plants help reducing the bad cholesterol because of fiber and secondary plant substances. But there are for sure many videos about specific substances/plants that help with that. Btw. how are you doing now?
Okay granted sesame oil is a seed oil but how much of it did people ever use? It's incredibly expensive and it's usually used in small amounts for flavor. You tout olive oil, but that is an oil of a fruit not a seed. It's also the only healthy one, and happens to be about as saturated as animal fat. It remains that humans existed on animal fats as their fats for tens of thousands of years. There was quite a bit of olive oil in use in the Mediterranean also. Ninety-nine percent of the seed oils in our diets today did not exist more than about a hundred years ago and is one of these: corn oil canola oil safflower oil sunflower oil soybean oil peanut oil.
I'm late to party on this video but I must say, that was an incredible piece of content and bonus points for including Jordan and Austin from barbell medicine. I could type a long detailed explanation for all the things I liked in this video but I'd rather just say that it was terrific and a joy to watch. I don't follow many nutrition content creators on UA-cam, it was only nutrition made simple up until now. But I'm happy to subscribe and add you to this exclusive club haha. Keep up the awesome work!
Great video! How involved were you with water testing? I was a developer for a LIMS software company for a few decades, so my ears perked up. Modern ag is the bane of clean drinking water, in some locations, due to nitrate run-off and rivers..
At 14:05 plus, the female commentator/s, when talking about the additional 16 countries being added to the chart, say "there was no correlation.." Just "a scatter plot". I don't think so. Any chart pattern analyst will tell you the correlation line is very definitive thank you. Not perfect obviously but a very good correlation none-the-less.
That depends on what you mean by "healthy" diet. My parents considered meat, eggs and fish to be part of a healthy diet, and have/had coronary disease and dementia as a result. The most beneficial diet is a very varied, whole foods, plant-based diet. You can't go wrong if you eat 50+ different plant foods every week. All the best.
When I hear someone advocate a healthy diet I know they can’t imagine not eating fat and oil but small steps in the right direction are always welcome. Good luck on your journey.
Always coming to the same conclusion - balanced diet. Unfortunately, the word "balance" is perceived subjectively. And this can be a huge problem when relying exclusively on media. I try to practice intuitive eating, but it took some time to get here. I hope plant based diet will become a trend that everyone will want to be a part of, since the mass awareness is definitely not bringing the necessary shift. Great video, valuable information. Thank you👍
15 minutes in is when it gets meaty!, the last 2 minutes are worth their time in gold!!!, I've made up my mind, that this one of the BEST~ if not the BEST Reserearch Conclusion yet done🥇I give it 1st Price! & am full of Gratitude🤗💓
Wow! Such a good channel. I always thought to myself: hmm, it would be interesting to find someone that cross references everything recommended in the usually effective diets like carnivore and vegan. Of course, seed oils and flours seem to be part of this, but a more extensive study on everything they agred on could leave us with a very nice chart of what to eat and what not to eat, and decide for ourselves if we ever wanna be vegan or carnivore.
I am confused. Dr. Esselstyn , dr. Gregor and a few more plant based docs recommend no oil. Oil is an inflammatory substance that causes arterial inflammation and atherosclerosis. You said that liquid oils are good …. I am confused
I think he was indicating a small amount of oil may not hurt you if you are not overweight do not have diabetes or heart disease. So my current approach is avocado oil or olive oil however less than a teaspoon per meal.
65, underweight, heart attack 3 years ago, TERRIBLY high cholesterol. Should I stop eating olive oil? So confused. My pcp claims it will help lower cholesterol and literally said , the more the better. 😮
Very valuable presentation. I will straight away by the books you have shown. I am 66 years and doing 16000 steps daily walking and half hour indoor cycling some dumbbells etc. My HDL is 61. I use butter, ghee, cocoanut, sesame and olive oil on a regular basis.
Just goes to show you, we have a long way to go in understanding heart disease. I have been on a whole food plant based diet and no nuts or seeds for four years and yet my cholesterol was on the high side of normal. I’m 72 and have had heartburn most of my adult life and it went away and I have more energy without muscle pain the next day after shoveling snow or working in our large garden. Oil and fat are very difficult to give up, I see my friends almost everything they eat has oil in it or on it, WFPB diet is a hard sell but I say it’s worth it.
Not true in the U.S. Vegans were 2% of the U.S. population 20 years ago and they are 2% today. Eating Olive oil is equally as healthy as eating nuts and seeds. And no study shows otherwise.
25:03 You do get causation without correlation. Levels of mercury correlate with better mental health outcomes in some population, because they reflect the intake of more fish and less meat. However, mercury is a neurotoxin.
It's not easy to give up oil when it's tied to food cooking.. it also depends on cultural country cuisine. Since cuisine can be cooked without oil but not all.. I'm in India my cuisine greatly demands oil atleast moderate. So I need to know which can be used safely in moderation. Olive oil is too costly and can't suit our food
@@jybuys yes we do. But only in sweets and we also add it in food and mix it with curry to enhance taste. But we don't regularly use ghee for cooking purpose..
I have continuously heard that we need some fats to absorb nutrients. Obviously canola oil isn’t great, but you can’t say anything negative about extra virgin olive oil because the people living in the Mediterranean have consumed olive oil forever and live long lives. So arguing against that is absolutely futile. There is nothing wrong with extra virgin olive oil, and we need it to absorb vitamins and minerals.
Grassfed beef also has trans fats called CLAs but they’re supposedly different than the stuff in margarine. So much we don’t know…so much science need to catch up on.
I'm a LONG term vegan with bad genetics regarding diabetes. I weigh nothing...like, you can't hardly see me, so obesity is not what is causing my blood sugar to go up. A high fat diet IS making my sugar go up. Starting today, I'm back on low fat. Rip Esselstyn compared ALL oils to refined white sugar. That is accurate.
I am t1d and since I went to high fat diet my average blood sugars have gone down so much lmao. I don’t get blood sugar spikes anymore and my insulin sensitivity has gotten better! Meat has saved my life.
@@noname-bt9ky Meat didn't save your life. Many people eat meat and die of heart attacks, etc. MAYBE you happen to need a lower carb diet, but that doesn't mean that has to include meat. I grew up as an omnivore and it didn't make me feel fabulous.
Love your videos was wondering about water filters!! Trying to find the science on best filters which I think are osmosis but what companies are good. EPA just shut down berkey! Just trying to to keep family safe. Any ideas sorry for long winded explanation
The statements made by people like Teichholz, Hyman and Harcombe are so often factually incorrect (and always in a way convenient for their claims) that I have to wonder whether they are doing this knowingly and deliberately.
15:09 lol (great stuff - they don't see it because they don't want to see it.) I went keto for a while (2018-2019) - my inflammation went away - I didn't hurt and wasn't stiff anywhere for the first time in YEARS. 14:03 just made it very clear why my inflammation went away. I spent all of my wits to stop smoking this past year. In the meantime, I gained 60 pounds. (small price to pay) Now, my journey is to get this blubber off of me. I'm not sold on keto, but I'm not sold on vegan either. Keto because there's not enough variety, and my spidey senses tell me that a healthy diet needs variety - Vegan because it seems that all of your nutrients should be included in a healthy diet. (b12) So, I know I'm somewhere in the middle. I'm 57 and on a mission to commit to a diet that will sustain me till death. Preferably sooner than later. (diet, not death) I love your videos and your presentations. They really give me food for thought. ;) They also make me challenge my own beliefs about food and health. Stay blessed. Haha.. just finished and got a good laugh from the Clint Eastwood story. He is one of my many heroes from childhood. It made my heart smile :)
KETO is just about no carbs. You eat veg. and meat. No one needs carbs. I don't do the KETO diet myself. I just reduced carbs a lot. And NO sugar based food's. Get your body used to burning fat for energy. KETO will do that. again I don't do KETO 100%. But going good many hours without eating anything is very good to do. (Intermittent fasting)
Yes they have a good portion of the movie that does a study with athletes eating a burrito and showed the fat in their blood after they ate animal foods! It was quite crazy.
I wish you could slow down your speech speed! I find it hard to process all info. Some movies have a feature to slow down the sound speed but not this one😢 I don't agree that any loose oil is healthy to consume except for skin and hair rubbing. I'm from Portugal, and my ancestors used olive oil as a panacea. From moisturising babies' nappy rash (I used it on my children too)snake bites, vaginal rash, sun burnts, on pigs after castration and so forth. Obviously, we ate lots if it too on our boiled-only recepies, salads, soups, roasting, grills, baking. Even our domestic animals shared our boon. Pigs and chicken slops were laced with the oil sediment gathered from the bottom of the clay pitchers. I love my olive oil but I'm sure consuming loose oils of any kind is unnatural to the human body and therefore harmful. I've been trying to stop it without success. Old habits die hard. I don't need any science, studies or tests to prove it. I only need common sense. The fat we need is all the whole plants we consume, perfectly formulated by nature. The rest is industry vested interests, and habit or tradition.
I do know this, I was on Keto for 5+ years ~ and I LOVED it !
Then I had a heart attack which I attribute to the animal proteins and high fats.
Now I’m following the Ornish lifestyle, which is four parts ~ but includes a plant based, low fat and low sugar diet.

That works.
But so do oils.
EXCELLENT! what a great great explanation of how statistics works for epidemiology and earth science, I am an Ecologist and I never could explain these things as well to anyone... no influencer has ever explained it in such way, many of these influencers are former biochemists, or just journalists... butb they don't seem to have understood statistics...thank you! now I wish I could explain this to my kids :) , also the story of your life and how you grew up, you are an incredible role model, incredible person really, by the way i very much enjoy your own channel and was missing your videos, they do help me every day since I have a child with chronic kidney disease (congenital), it is very hard to navigate information nowadays...
Thanks! Really sorry to hear about you kidney disease.
What a great video! Also, very fun! Thanks for all your work and your perspective; it's just what I needed.
Thanks Bonnie!
Been through this journey and reached this whole food, plant based, but with fish (mostly sardines and salmon) and occasional other meats. Meats getting fewer by days, so we will see.
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 WOW!!! thank you for your HARD WORK 🙏 ... I will listen a few more times
Love your “deep dive”, fact based videos. And esp when they are mostly filmed outdoors!
Thanks! I love to film them outdoors so it's great to get that feedback.
Thank you Chris for another super informative video. One complaint: It is difficult for me to follow your videos. You cover so much ground that I have a hard time picking out a common continuity thread to follow. Your videos require a lot of stop and start, time to look certain people up, and to look up studies referenced. There is a lot of note taking involved. I guess my finding fault is actually a compliment. One direct question: You mentioned the era when we decided to empty out our mental institutions, and thus you finding yourself on the street with your mom. I remember this time period too. I'd like to find some history on this sad period in our history. Do you have a book, or know where I can go to find out more about this? Thanks again for another well done video. PS ~ Dr. Ornish had a huge impact on my life.
Very well done! I watched this video twice. Found it helpful. I have a better take on vegetable oils now. I will continue to avoid them because I can gain weight rather easily but I’m not so afraid of them anymore,a little goes along way. Thank you.
Increase. Don't decrease fats and oils.
2/3 of calories should be fats an oils.
1/3 from carbs.
Protein should not be used for calories.
I get my fats from whole food sources like nuts,seeds,avocados,olives.I eat organic,raw peanut butter too and occasionally I eat out and then I might have some oil. Oil is processed and not that good for us.
@@emilypotato9495
If you research oils. Some are just extracted and are very very very good for us.
@@herbbowler2461no… oil is just oil. Everything that’s healthy is not in oil (the secondary plant substances, carbs, fiber, micro nutrients). There sometimes is a little rest of secondary plant substances or vitamin e but the whole plant has more of it. So instead of drinking olive oil you should rather eat olives. Also your brain and all cells run on glucose so you need carbs. Protein is not for energy right but fat is either. We just need Omega 3 and 6 from a few flax seeds, walnuts and much greens.
@@silasd5269
You need to do some studies. I have !
I just did a blood work after two months eating a lot of olive oil, a lot of it plus a lot of nuts like 200gr of walnuts and almonds everyday yet my cholesterol dropped from 173 to 156 and my LDL went from 113 to 105, still eating fish twice a week and from time to time a burger and my average fiber intake is around 50g daily
Ban fish and every animal products, thank you
@@ChappySinclair my ldl dropped to 80 after I removed saturated fats and when I added it again, it increased by 30 pt. 9 pts from what ? It might not be significant and what did you cut and didn’t you change anything in your lifestyle besides adding beef tallow ?
I wish there were more studies like this on more than just one person. This had not been studied well enough. The jury is still out on nuts, seeds, olive and avacado oil.
I became a Seventh-day Adventist in my mid 20's and since then I have lost some weight as I've switched to a meatless diet. I don't claim perfection but it has sure helped me in the long run. I appreciate the work that went into this video, thank you very much.
Thanks Chris. Always informative, engaging, and well done.
Substituting olive oil for other fats/oils? Too bad they didn't have a "no oil or fat" or "reduced oil or fat" column in the chart at 27:53.
Superb video by Plant Chompers 😊
Artfully done! I am grateful that Chris has devoted so much time and effort to providing the actual background of so many pivotal studies. It makes me a little less reluctant to use small amounts of olive oil, avocados, and canola oil when cooking in the future. This video is very helpful to persons like me who know there is a history of heart disease in the family and want to avoid our grandparents' mistakes in eating too many dairy and animal products with their accompanying saturated fat. I am hopeful that more of us laypeople will be able to educate ourselves on the real science of nutrition. It seems that we have to take responsibility to really educate ourselves because mainstream media typically does not appear to deliver outstanding journalism in this area. I agree that mainstream media should feature true experts like Walter Willett of Harvard and Dean Ornish, MD, a clinical professor at UC San Francisco Medical School.
Dr. Ornish was extremely ostracized for his original research.
There is a nutrition information war is going on the internet. I ate no fat vegan diet for 2 years, unfortunately it is not for me, ruined my health. Goiter ( needed surgery) IBS, diverticulitis, weight gain… 4 personal very healthy friends, who lived over hundred, ate everything, eggs and bacon every day. India’s vegetarians live 20 years less than meat eaters in Switzerland or Hong Kong. Unfortunately US population become obese since no fat diet was introduced. So confusing! I think nutrition is very personal because our systems are so different
Fruit oils like olive oil, avocado oil, and coconut oil are very different from toxic seed oils.
Exactly! Those along with ghee and yes, even lard are the only healthy oils, seed oils are poison.
They may be different, however people on these oils do not live longer ( as one study showed). There is no indication that they prevent plaque buildup.
I love your soothing voice brother.
You're kind, knowledgeable and loving ❤️🌿🥰
Thank you! Sometimes I think I whine tttoooo mmmuuuucchhh!
Until we can produce a body of evidence that demonstrates heart disease reversal using a high fat diet, I'm going er on the side of caution and strictly moderate my fat consumption, regardless of whether it comes from oil, nuts, seeds, or avocados.
Thanks for sharing a bit of your experiences with your mother's mental illness. My father grew up with family violence and it affected my own experiences growing up. He never struck me or my mother but we had to abruptly move several times after he knocked out a variety of other adult men. In most cases they probably didn't understand why he rendered them unconscious. Dad confided in me after each event after he realized I was no-tell. Mom and I were both deeply affected. This was in the 1950's into the 1960's. In 1960 we moved to another state where my name was used to conceal his location. Sure, he never hit me but I grew up knowing my father was a potential killer. As I grew up I wondered if I was right believing the potential part.
Congratulations on getting through your tough early times. You are a survivor and have moved on to a better life. I am glad to hear that your mother was able to provide support when you were young, and it sounds like you were able to give her support as well.
@plantchompers question regarding oils that wasn’t covered in the video. Does it make a difference if the oils are heated, such as in use of frying, vs consumed unheated?
Good question, and yes depending on the oil. I’m getting quite a few questions, so I’ll do a follow-on episode in a couple weeks.
Seed oil has always been used in India. Ancient scriptures mention sesame oil for rituals and cooking. We still use cold pressed sesame black seed and mustard seed oil. So we are talking 3 to 4000 years ago.
I don't think that the seed oils of pre 1940s were a problem because they were cold pressed or stone pressed. I think a lot of people who comment on seed oils of today point that it's because today's seed oils are industrial processes often heating or even boiling multiple times in the process and hyper filtering them along the way. Hopefully this is addressed in this video.
Thank you Chris just the perfect video that my friends and I needed to see.
This was AWESOME!
Its very clear INDUSTRIAL vegetable oil is NOT the same as sesame olive oil from pre industrial production times etc
When I first went WFPB, I purposely chose a very boring, oil-free diet that consisted of a lot of plain raw and steamed veggies and limited fruits while nuts (once a week) and some complex grains (max one cup a day) were a treat. It was probably close to a Joel Fuhrman diet without knowing it. Flavored vinegars really scratched that "salty" itch I was missing, and weight loss was very easy because I was consistent. Then I decided to add in a bit of fats with oils, avocado, and nuts and immediately loss stopped and gains happened. Same for my GF. I did enjoy the tastes again, but I also felt weighed down after eating them. Now we stick to the oil-free hummus and raw veggies, even if we get odd looks when eating that for breakfast. It really is true that one diet does not fit all.
You sound just like me. I have mostly disconnected from food. I just eat raw and Boring. But im getting all my WFPB requirements in. I do like to have a warm lentil curry and quinoa soup. And roaster sweet potato has become a treat. I think I need to liven up my raw meals.
Good informative content. I've been low carb for 2 years and now need a bypass. I'd love to know more about what foods you eat to control your familial high cholesterol.
You can reverse much of the damage with a whole food (ala rich, pre- and probiotic rich, rather low fat and high complex carb) vegan diet. Pomegranate, blue berries , etc. help your arteries, etc. Basically all plants help reducing the bad cholesterol because of fiber and secondary plant substances. But there are for sure many videos about specific substances/plants that help with that. Btw. how are you doing now?
I don't buy it. Many people have reverse heart disease and other illness with a low carb high fat animal based diet.
That "Honey, do you have a book problem" Scene was Sweet & Nice touch to the video...
🧡
I know! I Audibly Aww'd! 💕
Nice work, this is a super useful repository of good info.
Okay granted sesame oil is a seed oil but how much of it did people ever use?
It's incredibly expensive and it's usually used in small amounts for flavor.
You tout olive oil, but that is an oil of a fruit not a seed.
It's also the only healthy one, and happens to be about as saturated as animal fat.
It remains that humans existed on animal fats as their fats for tens of thousands of years. There was quite a bit of olive oil in use in the Mediterranean also.
Ninety-nine percent of the seed oils in our diets today did not exist more than about a hundred years ago and is one of these:
corn oil canola oil safflower oil sunflower oil soybean oil peanut oil.
Great info and fun delivery, thanks👍
Thorough-ly appreciated!
the book problem bit was hilarious 😂
I'm late to party on this video but I must say, that was an incredible piece of content and bonus points for including Jordan and Austin from barbell medicine. I could type a long detailed explanation for all the things I liked in this video but I'd rather just say that it was terrific and a joy to watch. I don't follow many nutrition content creators on UA-cam, it was only nutrition made simple up until now. But I'm happy to subscribe and add you to this exclusive club haha. Keep up the awesome work!
This is one video worth playing over and over again. ...and over again.
Very informative and balanced. Thank you!
Great video! How involved were you with water testing? I was a developer for a LIMS software company for a few decades, so my ears perked up. Modern ag is the bane of clean drinking water, in some locations, due to nitrate run-off and rivers..
Chris is so good at clarifying questionable science. 👏
At 14:05 plus, the female commentator/s, when talking about the additional 16 countries being added to the chart, say "there was no correlation.." Just "a scatter plot". I don't think so. Any chart pattern analyst will tell you the correlation line is very definitive thank you. Not perfect obviously but a very good correlation none-the-less.
It seems to me after reading and looking at diet and nutrition for many years that a balanced healthy diet is key combined with gently exercise
Amen
That depends on what you mean by "healthy" diet. My parents considered meat, eggs and fish to be part of a healthy diet, and have/had coronary disease and dementia as a result. The most beneficial diet is a very varied, whole foods, plant-based diet. You can't go wrong if you eat 50+ different plant foods every week. All the best.
When I hear someone advocate a healthy diet I know they can’t imagine not eating fat and oil but small steps in the right direction are always welcome. Good luck on your journey.
Always coming to the same conclusion - balanced diet. Unfortunately, the word "balance" is perceived subjectively. And this can be a huge problem when relying exclusively on media. I try to practice intuitive eating, but it took some time to get here. I hope plant based diet will become a trend that everyone will want to be a part of, since the mass awareness is definitely not bringing the necessary shift. Great video, valuable information. Thank you👍
Not really "balanced" so much as "whole plant foods, but for healthy people, some oil may not be bad
Is there a link to the Mastering Diabetes interview mentioned for “next week”? I searched but didn’t find it. Love your videos, thanks
love this human
Very informative and very entertaining video. 👏
Another great video. Thanks Baldy!
Hi Tomasz! 👋
15 minutes in is when it gets meaty!, the last 2 minutes are worth their time in gold!!!, I've made up my mind, that this one of the BEST~ if not the BEST Reserearch Conclusion yet done🥇I give it 1st Price! & am full of Gratitude🤗💓
Oil is very high in omega 6 and very bad if you eat it frequently
Love Plant Chompers.
Wow! Such a good channel. I always thought to myself: hmm, it would be interesting to find someone that cross references everything recommended in the usually effective diets like carnivore and vegan. Of course, seed oils and flours seem to be part of this, but a more extensive study on everything they agred on could leave us with a very nice chart of what to eat and what not to eat, and decide for ourselves if we ever wanna be vegan or carnivore.
I am confused. Dr. Esselstyn , dr. Gregor and a few more plant based docs recommend no oil. Oil is an inflammatory substance that causes arterial inflammation and atherosclerosis. You said that liquid oils are good …. I am confused
I think he was indicating a small amount of oil may not hurt you if you are not overweight do not have diabetes or heart disease. So my current approach is avocado oil or olive oil however less than a teaspoon per meal.
Prayers for everything to go perfectly so that you can get into the NIH trial.
65, underweight, heart attack 3 years ago, TERRIBLY high cholesterol. Should I stop eating olive oil? So confused. My pcp claims it will help lower cholesterol and literally said , the more the better. 😮
Excellent video!
What no mention of Christopher Gardner? He is a favorite...
Very valuable presentation. I will straight away by the books you have shown. I am 66 years and doing 16000 steps daily walking and half hour indoor cycling some dumbbells etc. My HDL is 61. I use butter, ghee, cocoanut, sesame and olive oil on a regular basis.
Just goes to show you, we have a long way to go in understanding heart disease. I have been on a whole food plant based diet and no nuts or seeds for four years and yet my cholesterol was on the high side of normal. I’m 72 and have had heartburn most of my adult life and it went away and I have more energy without muscle pain the next day after shoveling snow or working in our large garden. Oil and fat are very difficult to give up, I see my friends almost everything they eat has oil in it or on it, WFPB diet is a hard sell but I say it’s worth it.
Does olive oil come from the seed of the olive or from the flesh?
Veganism is rising and thriving while carnism is trying and dying!
Lol you wish
Once, again... WHERE? My city is majority vegan and most of them are not thriving at all...
Spot the vegan fanatic
@@camkennison2279 PDX?
Not true in the U.S. Vegans were 2% of the U.S. population 20 years ago and they are 2% today. Eating Olive oil is equally as healthy as eating nuts and seeds. And no study shows otherwise.
25:03 You do get causation without correlation. Levels of mercury correlate with better mental health outcomes in some population, because they reflect the intake of more fish and less meat. However, mercury is a neurotoxin.
wow what an amazing video, thank you so much
It's not easy to give up oil when it's tied to food cooking.. it also depends on cultural country cuisine. Since cuisine can be cooked without oil but not all.. I'm in India my cuisine greatly demands oil atleast moderate. So I need to know which can be used safely in moderation. Olive oil is too costly and can't suit our food
I thought they use ghee in India cuisine.
@@jybuys yes we do. But only in sweets and we also add it in food and mix it with curry to enhance taste. But we don't regularly use ghee for cooking purpose..
love the walking scenery
facebomb! another fantastic video, i really wondered about this thing about oil !
Do cooking methods affect safety of oils? Can deep frying turn oils into something nasty?
Maybe I missed. But I didn’t notice comparison of wfpb oils vs pure wfpb. That would be awesome to figure out.
I have continuously heard that we need some fats to absorb nutrients. Obviously canola oil isn’t great, but you can’t say anything negative about extra virgin olive oil because the people living in the Mediterranean have consumed olive oil forever and live long lives. So arguing against that is absolutely futile. There is nothing wrong with extra virgin olive oil, and we need it to absorb vitamins and minerals.
Grassfed beef also has trans fats called CLAs but they’re supposedly different than the stuff in margarine. So much we don’t know…so much science need to catch up on.
Great video,thank you for sharing,your studying has got my brain woke,thank you
33:05 😂What in the name of bag wigs 📺
Thanks for promoting Chris’s channel!
I'm a LONG term vegan with bad genetics regarding diabetes. I weigh nothing...like, you can't hardly see me, so obesity is not what is causing my blood sugar to go up. A high fat diet IS making my sugar go up. Starting today, I'm back on low fat. Rip Esselstyn compared ALL oils to refined white sugar. That is accurate.
I am t1d and since I went to high fat diet my average blood sugars have gone down so much lmao. I don’t get blood sugar spikes anymore and my insulin sensitivity has gotten better! Meat has saved my life.
Never have been so amazing after I started eating meat
@@noname-bt9ky Meat didn't save your life. Many people eat meat and die of heart attacks, etc. MAYBE you happen to need a lower carb diet, but that doesn't mean that has to include meat. I grew up as an omnivore and it didn't make me feel fabulous.
If you are curious about how a meta-analysys youtube video would be, then you need to see Plant Chompers videos.
Love your videos was wondering about water filters!! Trying to find the science on best filters which I think are osmosis but what companies are good. EPA just shut down berkey! Just trying to to keep family safe. Any ideas sorry for long winded explanation
Thank you for sharing your harsh background, circumstances that were placed upon you at a young age. 😢 God bless.
The statements made by people like Teichholz, Hyman and Harcombe are so often factually incorrect (and always in a way convenient for their claims) that I have to wonder whether they are doing this knowingly and deliberately.
Great content!!! Thank you!!!
wow, great analysis.
Excellent video
Ps I thought your summary quite good and think you have a future as a drag performer.
15:09 lol (great stuff - they don't see it because they don't want to see it.) I went keto for a while (2018-2019) - my inflammation went away - I didn't hurt and wasn't stiff anywhere for the first time in YEARS. 14:03 just made it very clear why my inflammation went away. I spent all of my wits to stop smoking this past year. In the meantime, I gained 60 pounds. (small price to pay) Now, my journey is to get this blubber off of me. I'm not sold on keto, but I'm not sold on vegan either. Keto because there's not enough variety, and my spidey senses tell me that a healthy diet needs variety - Vegan because it seems that all of your nutrients should be included in a healthy diet. (b12) So, I know I'm somewhere in the middle. I'm 57 and on a mission to commit to a diet that will sustain me till death. Preferably sooner than later. (diet, not death) I love your videos and your presentations. They really give me food for thought. ;) They also make me challenge my own beliefs about food and health. Stay blessed.
Haha.. just finished and got a good laugh from the Clint Eastwood story. He is one of my many heroes from childhood. It made my heart smile :)
KETO is just about no carbs. You eat veg. and meat. No one needs carbs. I don't do the KETO diet myself. I just reduced carbs a lot. And NO sugar based food's. Get your body used to burning fat for energy. KETO will do that. again I don't do KETO 100%. But going good many hours without eating anything is very good to do. (Intermittent fasting)
We have our own olive grove and have our harvest pressed alone. We use it a lot. We are moving to Italy to have more of our own.
great job as usual. so maybe if Clint is getting younger we will forward to seeing some more dirty harry and old spaghetti westerns?
Watch the movie ‘ Game Changers ‘ streaming online.
Yes they have a good portion of the movie that does a study with athletes eating a burrito and showed the fat in their blood after they ate animal foods! It was quite crazy.
does this mean i can fry Brussel Sprouts in a ~tbsp of olive, peanut, or canola oil?
Yep, unless you're middle-aged & out of shape. In which case, opt for whole-food plant-based alternatives :)
I wish you could slow down your speech speed! I find it hard to process all info. Some movies have a feature to slow down the sound speed but not this one😢
I don't agree that any loose oil is healthy to consume except for skin and hair rubbing.
I'm from Portugal, and my ancestors used olive oil as a panacea. From moisturising babies' nappy rash (I used it on my children too)snake bites, vaginal rash, sun burnts, on pigs after castration and so forth.
Obviously, we ate lots if it too on our boiled-only recepies, salads, soups, roasting, grills, baking. Even our domestic animals shared our boon. Pigs and chicken slops were laced with the oil sediment gathered from the bottom of the clay pitchers.
I love my olive oil but I'm sure consuming loose oils of any kind is unnatural to the human body and therefore harmful. I've been trying to stop it without success. Old habits die hard. I don't need any science, studies or tests to prove it. I only need common sense.
The fat we need is all the whole plants we consume, perfectly formulated by nature. The rest is industry vested interests, and habit or tradition.
As always really nutricious content! Thank you!
