Thank you very much to Dr Chris Knobbe for coming on and sharing his thoughts and research! And thank you to everyone watching, i hope you ask found it as interesting as I did!
I’m skeptical… increased blood sugar is already linked to AMD and we have The NIH (sure) saying that some vegetable oils are actually beneficial to glycemic control… Ancel Keys got sugar off-the-hook 60+ years ago, Chris is clearly not doing that, but, his research does appear to ‘hypothesize’ sugar is just an accessory in a crime where ‘seed oils’ came brandishing an M16, but we already know ‘sugar’ has a Beretta with a ‘concealed carry’ license. Interesting, but conclusive… I’m not convinced by the supporting data proffered.
Be interested to see if meat consumption is broken down by category, chicken, beef, lamb etc… wonder if mono-gastric animal meat is contributing to metabolic disorder…maybe we are eating less beef and more mono-gastric since 1930’s… price plays a role…
@anthonychaffeemd, 1.5 years strict zero carb here. I can't seem to reconcile the data presented here with Dr. Robert Lustig's, with regards to sugar and carbohydrates. There were also slides where obisty was going down as vegetable oil consumption was going up. I go with Dr. Lustig's data. Am I missing something?
@@Solmaz_S …I don’t think so, I think ‘sugar is not so bad’ is a reasonable take-away from this presentation… Paul Saladino now also considers ‘spiking-insulin’ isn’t something to worry about. Would be interesting to see Dr Peter Attia take a look at this data, as you say, the interpretations of what we saw in the slides did look a bit ‘confusing’ here and there.
Heart attack and quad bypass here.. i just wish i had known 10 years ago.. maybe i could have avoided being torn apart mentally and physically in the operating room. Recovering but its hard to maintain hope for my future. It gets me angry that there are people that know this but still promote seed oils (hint: AHA and any other mainstream orgini$ation.

@@julienfroidevaux1143 it would have been only seasonally available and a short very season as well. Some may very rarely if ever have come upon any berries at all. For at least 10 months of the year they only ate animal flesh only and anything else was a treat, not a staple.
Yeah, that is why we find their stone spear points laying all over the place thousands of years later. That is why the megafauna went largely extinct.@@julienfroidevaux1143
I question the Japanese scenario. As societies ate a high carb diet, all of them have had symptoms of malnutrition, and I would imagine that they have had an insulin problem as well. The major symptom that has reared it's ugly face, is the development of the teeth and how they come in during childhood. The Japanese culture have always had crooked teeth , in the modern day, just as the Chinese do, just as the English do and just the American culture does, it is a direct coloration to diet. Weston Price made this very clear. Cultures that ate a meat based diet, always have beautiful straight teeth, with no crowding.
Right, and they were just dwarves in comparison to animal based Maasais. They certainly did not get enough of proteins to grow their bodies. The fact, that they had that kind of plant based diet for hundreds (even maybe thousands) of years doesn't mean, that the diet was particularly healthy. Compare it to millions of years being mostly carnivore.
Yes indeed. The data and studies are about absence of heart disease and other modern illnesses. It may look like good health depending on what one compares it with.
I'm also thinking, that when young children are fed excess sugar, carbs, seed oils, etc, they are not getting what they need from an early age, leading to long term damage, even when years later, maybe statisticaly people are lowering carbs and sugar, the damage has been done.
Nice to know that carbs are not a cause of "modern diseases"... Think Paul Saladino might be very right when he says 1-300 gram of carbs (from fruit). Is optimal for so many reasons..As long as you eat your meats..And never toutch seed oils...
I remember the original blue zones studies actually said Okinawans ate 70 percent pork prior to ww2. It was in the original data! Then around 1944 they swapped to 80 percent carbs then back to 55 percent pork by 1960. I can't find the original papers tho! Also Japanese traditionally ate millet and oats. Rice was the luxurious food of the wealthy and often was used as currency.
You’re doing all mankind a service Dr Chaffee We are blessed to have you n your untiring efforts to educate us ❤ I am your student n I will be posting whatever I’ve learned from you. Learning learning teaching growing United we stand Rachel Marrion
WOW Its Chris!!! I never miss a Knobbe interview. I never tire of his interviews. NEVER..... he truly is sooooo knowledgeable on this topic. Thank you SOOOOO much Anthony for having him on. Enjoy everyone!
Yes Ive even reached out to Chris many years ago. Wonderful Doctor. Love when he goes over the history of these awful awful industrial oils! Their in everything it seems. Ok well you take care now. Love your Channel~@@anthonychaffeemd
Probably one of the best discussions I have seen. This applies to everyone. Thank you so much for providing yet more arguments that this lifestyle changes lives! 🤗
@@gtibruceLet's forgot about all modern tools and gadgets we have these days. Go naked somewhere, sleep under tree, try to get your food and water by yourself while not getting eaten by predators or get struck by lightning. Let's see how long you will be able sustain such a stressful life.
@@gtibruce Key word is average. Back in the old days child dying early or shortly after birth was much higher which drives down the average. Life back in those days was more dangerous and difficult than today, accidents from farming, cutting wood, poor safety standards, etc, maybe even the death from major wars (civil, WW1, WW2) may have played a factor in those averages. Finally the modern tech able to keep people alive longer, even in a bad state of health is more advanced.
@@buckjones4901Well, when you way up the average amount of babies being aborted these days kind of equals out your first statistic as not counting. However, we were always told they / people died of more uncurable diseaes but if their immune systems was so much higher should have at least lasted well into their sixties!
Both of my parents suffered from age-related wet macular degeneration for some years and were nearly blind before dying in their nineties. I have grown very wary of seed oils. My father did most of the cooking for himself and my mother once he retired and by then had almost given up eating beef and switched to low-fat cuts of pork. Seed oil for cooking, but not much. Did it contribute to their WMD? I don’t know. When pastured butter is on sale I buy 4 pounds and make a couple quarts of ghee. Barely use olive oil because I expect it’s all adulterated. Not eating much processed food. We’ll see what happens with my eyes.
I have seen other interviews with Dr Knobbe and I am so thankful that when new information is revealed on these carnivore channels that it becomes part of the chat.
35:10 This automatically made me think of something I watched a few years ago, relating the increase in morbid obesity, as well as several other conditions, to the increase in usage of artificial sweeteners. This was an excellent discussion and I’m sharing it with a couple of loved ones whom I pray will take the information to heart.
I watched most of the live stream. Fantastic interview. The correlation data are compelling. It’s so sad that society is suffering and bodies being ruined, when getting rid of processed foods would solve much of the metabolic disease pandemic.
if you follow bart kay's explanation of the randle cycle, then what appears to be happening is that that Carbs will lead to high glucose (depending on consumption levels) which over time destroys mitochondria but also unhealthy fats (veg/seed oils) will have the same effect but via the fat side of the randle mechanism. So you could go low carb or carnivore but still become inflamed/diseased if you comsume these toxic fats and vice versa if you cut out these fats but eat a high carb diet. Therefore low/no carb plus properly prepared and sourced meat & fat is optimal/necessary.
It’s good to hear someone present data and tries to limit a biased view. That being said, carnivore works for me. More specifically in the last 4-6 weeks eating only beef with the associated fat salted to my taste and filtered water infused with solé water has taken my strength and endurance to another level. All this after I thought I felt the best I could for the last 7 years eating meat, eggs and filtered water is blowing my mind.
Chris changed my life a year ago! Weight down 30lbs, blood pressure back to normal and heart arrhythmia gone! Yes I said gone! Probably from better mineral diet. Thanks for your work Chris. Its very important-to note Chris is not enriching himself from all his hard work to bring this to us! He did so to avoid a conflict of interest unlike many others!
I think it would have been very important and interesting to also bring in the consumption of artificial sweeteners. I could imagine that it was rising while sugar consumption was dropping.
True. But also depends which artificial sweetener are used. Allulose, Erythritol and Monk Fruit have basically no impact on blood sugar/insulin. Others do have an impact, like Xylitol, even though it's a very small impact. Pure (unadulterated) Stevia is also a very good choice, and has some excellent medicinal properties.
Thank you so much, Doctors, for this incredible information. I know many of us watching are enlightened already to the decades of misinformation we've been given and are on-track, thanks to people like you, to greatly improve our overall health. I only hope that many watching are new to this information and become enlightened like the rest of us! One awakened I don't believe many of us will return to our old ways of eating.
Retired nurse, 1976 to 2020, definitely seen obesity grow. As an early endocrine nurse the diabetic patient was encouraged not to have added sugar on or in their food, decrease their consumption of carbohydrates, now with the abuse of insulin to treat type two diabetes patients feel or believe they can eat whatever they want. In the early days nobody was looking at fasting insulin levels. Nobody said much about insulin sensitivity or resistance. Diabetes is clearly from my rabbit whole search is insulin resistance. Which with this presentation is a mitochondrial disturbance. I personally have stopped all sugar and no processed food, no carbs. Basically a carnivore diet. I am 5 days into my third month. I requested from my doctor two weeks in for fasting insulin and glucose level. They were quite surprised and asked why and that they did not know how to interpret a fasting insulin test. Mine was 15 for insulin and 5.7 for glucose. I did my own research. 5.7 glucose was higher than i would like. The insulin in my lab book says under 25 was good. My doctor said it was low. My research tells me it is still too high. So, if it is high i most likely have some mitochondrial disturbance, could have some liver disturbance fatty. I am interested in my next blood work values. I am down 38 pounds lost four inches to my waist. My hight to bellybutton circumference reduced, i cut a piece of string 6.2 is my height i can since 3 days ago can rap it around my waist twice. However I started this journey due to depression which greatly improved on week two, the weight loss is secondary or was. Thanks for all that you are both doing
1:04:00 that myth about Okinawans eating primarily sweet potatoes is common, but it really isn’t true. The main staple food of Okinawa was and continues to be pork. This myth started when they were observed directly after the war, which decimated them and their food supply, when they were eating extreme amounts of sweet potatoes to keep from starving. Sweet potatoes were part of their ancestral diet, but pork was the cornerstone of that diet, not sweet potatoes.
The point Dr. Knobbe made about the food industry caring even less than the cigarette industry about their customer’s health makes perfect sense. These industries are often one and the same. The cigarette companies bought up food companies and used the same deceptive marketing practices to sell us unhealthy foods and exploit our children as they did with cigarettes. R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company purchased Hawaiian Punch in 1963 and Nabisco in 1986. In 1985 General Foods Corporation was bought by Philip Morris, which merged with Kraft and included many well-known brands like Oscar Meyer, Jell-O, Kool-Aid, Birdseye, Post cereals, etc. We’ve been duped for so long.
Yes, Joan Ifland has some excellent talks about the history of it all. It's truly appalling what those corporations were (and are) willing to do to their fellow human beings. Now I spend all my food dollars at small family farms, because I don't want a single cent to pass from my hands to the junk food peddlers' pockets.
The medical industrial complex is no better than a drug dealer on the streets, the objective is to keep you hooked on their product.. In fact big pharma might be worse, because their product often causes problems that make you need more of their products to counters-act the side effects.
I’ve read the autopsy reports of the Masai back in the 1950s. They did have high levels of plaque in their coronary arteries yet they did not have heart attacks. Could the plaques be from the milk? Anyway, perhaps the lack of adverse cardiac consequences was due to the lack of seed oils in their diet, plus their high level of physical activity. I’m 68 and I remember mom frying chicken in hydrogenated Crisco and later corn oil. I did not have as much fast food as kids since the 70s and 80s consume, but I was not healthy. I did not live up to my genetic potential. Oh the life I could have had! Oh, the life we all could have had. Oh, the magnificent future the children of today could have, but all around us we are seeing decay. 😢 Thanks for your passion for getting out the truth about nutrition.
Not only did vegetables oils become a new addition to the diet, but vaccines were introduced and have become greatly increased as well. Love to have look at this
Good information. But when you say sugar consumption is down and yet obesity is up, do you account for all carbohydrates? All of them are converted to glucose in our bodies, right? I find it very hard to believe that all carbohydrate consumption is down in recent years and only seed oils are up...
the impact of sugar/carbs is a bit of a trailing indicator as it may take years before the body loses the War On Carbs and we "suddenly" (to the surprise of doctors and patients) we become diabetic :)
I'm not going to try to change your mind about vaccines, but I'll just point out that the health of the parents is a huge factor, including the health of grandparents - epigenetics is likely playing a huge role in pediatric disorders and illnesses. I don't know if we can fix permanent conditions like type 1 diabetes or autism by improving our health, but I'd be willing to wager that the offspring of healthy people (who consume mostly meat or only meat) will have far less prevalence of those conditions than those who follow the standard dietary guidelines. Hell, we know that vegans can rarely even conceive a baby or produce sperm or periods. My wife and I converted to carnivory/reduced processed food before having our children and they are both in perfect health, highly intelligent and great kids, they were vaccinated and had no reactions. I'd be wary about giving them a "C19 vac" though, as there is literally no good science to show it is useful and there is a plethora of evidence that they can cause harm.
@williambelmont9601 yes I agree the diet of parents and then of the growing children play a huge role. I believe the vaccine schedule in the US is now quite extensive. I live in Australia now, but my children were all born in South Africa in 90s. Jab schedule was not extensive then.
I completely agree that seed oils are unhealthy and are contributing to chronic illness. However, looking at the first graph, prior to 1960, the slope of heart disease deaths does not match the slope of vegetable oil consumption. It's much steeper. I wonder if there was something else contributing? You mention smoking. Perhaps also the two world wars that the population had just gone through?
My guess....I would suspect sugar and / or the decrease in meat consumption, increase in vegitables / carbs. But also prehaps the human body reaches a topping point where a small ammount or seeds oils can be coped with but as it increases and the body becomes damaged the harm increases at a greater rate. So as more toxin comes into a more damsmaged body the graph line becomes increasingly steeper.
Well around that time I think rubber was getting big, rubber shoes, so we lost the connection to the electric earth, also sunscreen and avoiding sun and seed oils and processed foods so put all those together with smoking and pollution and we get disease. It’s multi factorial. And it goes even deeper too like housing and toxic chemicals in the insulation, plastics in everything like Teflon and toxins in cosmetics, mold, heavy metals and childhood sh0tz etc. but around that time we “unplugged” from earth and Mother Nature
all fast food restaurants use canola oils and even big steaks houses like Longhorn and Road house steak restaurants use soybean and canola .It is killing everyone. So sad!
Hey Anthony, recently I was thinking about how in case some people would ask me about my diet it could end up in quite some annoying argument which I then would have to do a bunch of writing down the best arguments citing studies and so on to make a bullet proof point, how about you just write a book as well about carnivore so I don't have to make all the effort lmao
It seems as though, seed oils are the main driver of metabolic disease. If I would of known this twenty years ago I probably would’ve never psoriasis. The extra/added sugars, refined grains are reacting and oxidizing the cells by way of the seed oils. Which is causing a lot of our human diseases today.
Anthony can you organize a conversation with Dr Alo? Paul Saladino managed to do it and it was worth it for many that have trouble with the concept of Ldl is a good/bad indicator. Alo insists ldl causes the problem not that the problem occurs and ldl is around to try and heal
Alo is particularly unreasonable and vitriolic, so it may not be fruitful. He chooses to look at certain data and ignore others, and that's his business, but more and more data keeps coming out against his theories, and so we just have to give it time and let the data speak for itself
@@Damudean any of us can do it, and most of us have, but he's not the type of person to listen. I've responded to some of his comments about cholesterol when he's commented on other people's posts but he never responds. From what I can tell he's just trying to get insta famous and wants the attention, not a serious conversation. There's an argument for not giving people like that more air, because that's all they want in the first place
@@anthonychaffeemd thanks when I first was trolled by him. That’s what I thought he was just a cracked troll. Thank you for responding, it is greatly appreciated and I don’t actually expect it.
I am a bit skeptical about the great health of Americans at the beginning of the 20-th century. Weston Price published a lot of evidence to the contrary. Dental health and bone health as well was actually very bad in comparison to indigenous populations. So the 37 % of grain based food could not have been that healthy.
Yeah, I'm with you. White Americans have never been particularly healthy. You can read their own accounts of how amazed they were by the excellent health of the Native Americans when they first encountered them. That's because no one in Western Europe was all that healthy at that time. They were shocked when they met people who still had all their teeth. As early as the Civil War, recruiting offices were in despair because so many young men had to be turned away for being too small or feeble or malformed for the army. The numbers are even more dire now, what with the obesity rates. Turn-of-the-century Americans may have had less diabetes, less obesity, less Alzheimer's, less PCOS, less heart issues, and less autoimmune issues than we have now, but that doesn't mean they were exactly prime specimens either.
maybe some people can genetically tolerate more carbs and sugar. But the optimal human diet is meat fish and eggs period. Do lions/tigers from different parts on the world have different diets and consume vegetables or fruit? no they are carnivores like us.
What about organic coconut oil and avocado oil? Before learning about the carnivore diet I purchased two bottles of each haha ... Are they also poisonous to eat? Ok ti eat raw? What about using on my skin and hair?
Once again, another brilliant interview from two humans invested from a learned place of real care. Much gratitude 🙏🏽. Can anyone with knowledge or personal experience contribute to possible corresponding autoimmune issues from seed oils? And more specifically, how long is the healing turnaround time from severe gut permeability that may be at the forefront of any autoimmune issues? I’ve been at this healing for some time. Some issues started reversing several months in, and then went backwards a bit. Just wondering if linoleic acid in fatty tissue is being dispersed and re-released from stores as I keep moving forward with healing. Thank you kindly. Health and vitality to all✌🏽🖖🏽💚
I would like to see his graph at 35:00 to include refined flours and trans fat as well. He wisely stated the four pillars at 25:23 being, vegetable oils, refined flours, refined sugars and trans fat. How much does refined flours play into this obesity increase.
Thank you Drs. Chaffee and Knobbe. So basically, seed oils strip-mines or body's ability to deal with carbs effectively. Not that I'm saying carbs are good, but we can't tolerate it anymore, for the most part.
That's why you could have societies like the Japanese, Chinese and Indians that consumed a lot of starches and had very low rates of diabetes and heart disease. But then they added seed oils to their diets and they are seeing explosions of diabetes and heart disease. India is a great case study because many have swapped ghee (clarified butter) or coconut oil which are super high in saturated fats for "heart healthy" seed oils and they have seen their diabetes and heart disease rates skyrocket
Dr. Knobbe, I greatly appreciate what you have to say. Just a heads-up for you: your microphone set-up is creating an echo effect. It's only mildly distracting, but respectfully, I thought you might appreciate the info. Best Regards, John
I wonder how behavior factors into this mix. Was sugar only eaten at the end of a meal in the past? It's punching you in the face right from the start of your meal along with vegetable oils now. There are so many things that can level off glucose spikes(glucose goddess stuff), is that enough to prevent as much damage? Of course, just don't eat them and you don't have to worry about it.
Hi Anthony...is there any chance you can include stress in the equation next time you do a talk please. I've done alot of study into intergenerational/ancestral and childhood trauma (stress) that affects both mental and physical health and there are many cases where people have healed all kinds of dis-eases through addressing trauma and stress. I do consider the carnivore diet to greatly contribute to both mental and physical health, but also consider stress/trauma levels to be addressed alongside the diet. Thank you so much for your work and information you provide..it literally is changing lives for the better.
This has been a big part of my struggle. I have been doing a lot of work to process my trauma. The intense emotions have made it difficult to make rational choices. I have had non-nutritive needs that I have been trying to fill with “comfort foods” without success. The compulsions have been the strongest I have ever felt in my life. To the extent that I have felt like a pure observer, separate from body and mind. Chronic stress has a lot of “known” effects on metabolism and sleep, the latter of which also compounds effects on metabolism.
Stress is not only a self inflicted or life experience, but, also environmental factors like 5G, radiation, pollution, chem trails, toxins, mold, man made poisonous food, commercial farming, pesticide, deficiencies in trace vitamins, all cause a form of stress metabolically to your body which in turn will effect your ability ‘ to handle’ stressors in one’s life. No doubt catastrophic situations can become a stressor outside of the list above. War, abuse, all traumas etc, can only be handled through a spiritual healing by the one and only true, great, physician -Jesus!- It’s only through a life experience that it could be said. -Seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened.
Excellent discussion and research by Dr. Knobbe. Although, one item that I an not in total agreement with Dr. Knoobbe is his discussion on carbohydrates. The studies that he references based on rice and sweet potato diets would fail to parallel today's production of these food substrates. Such that rice and sweet potato's of today are far different in micronutrients due to modification, soil degradation, and nitrogen uptake. Just my thoughts ss a PhD trained researcher and health care practitioner. Always good stuff, Anthony.
I don't know what to blame anymore haha Is it the carbs? Is it the plants? Is it the seed/vegetable oils? This is a serious question as there are so many differing opinions that I'm losing sight of a clear truth. I'm losing my mind, mann 😅
Was wondering if the correlation of non Cal sweeteners coming on the scene where the sugar is have plateaued, if they had some effect also as they would still spiked insulin and yet have no value, so as to put stress on the organs
Sounds like maybe you aren't doing it right. Are you using sauces with meat? Most contain sugar. I started with keto then eased into carnivore. It takes many days to go into ketosis. If you have any carbs/sugar, it can knock you out instantly. Look at what you are drinking. Does it have any sweeteners? There are many drinks/drink mixes that use other forms of sweeteners or sugar and claim to be sugar free. Drink water. I use LMNT drink mixes occasionally for electrolytes. Try to be strict carnivore for a few weeks. I love eating Ribeyes. I could eat them every day. Nice fat content for flavor. No sauces just salt and butter. If you try keto, be careful about adding things to a salad. No carbs. Many dressings contain sugar and high fructose corn syrup. Avoid any fructose. I lost about 12lbs first week on keto. That's mainly from water weight. Now that I'm on carnivore, weight is slowly losing each week day. I'm at 25lbs lost now. I've been walking my dog and doing some weight training too so although my weight loss has slowed, I'm getting trimmer. More muscle and less fat. People are really noticing and I'm wearing smaller clothes. Also watch your dairy intake. Don't give up. Just stick with it and don't measure your weight every day. It will come off.
Contact someone to specifically look at you at a personal one on one. Also don’t look at weight, I believe you are trying to get healthy and loss fat not weight?
Those several charts are extremely significant and determinative, and it would be great if you could provide links to sources whence they can be downloaded. They need to become mass memes!
@@anthonychaffeemd thanks, will consult... also I think that the graph at 18:10 ff. is somewhat misleading in that the heart disease line should really present the death rate _per capita_ the same as the lines for consumption of the foods. The US population has roughly quadrupled since the start of the graph in 1900. Nevertheless, even allowing for this there's definitely a huge rise in CV deaths so the basic argument stands. Just wouldn't want naysayers to score a debating point out of apples-and-pears comparisons.
but then i read that when you cook the beef - if the beef is not rotten (bad odour, discolouration) although you left if out at room temperature for 24 hours or more - the bad bacteria will be killed - perhaps I am leading up to your next video / short - lol.. glad you chose to represent on youtube.txs
Yeah it's pretty funny when you look at the omega 6 to 3 ratios of the "worst" things that we wer told to NEVER eat. Bacon is 2.5:1. Lard is 3.6:1. Butter can range from 0.95:1 to 5.8:1 depending on grass-fed, organic or conventional. All vastly superior to seed oil sludge.
I agree. Sugar consumption may have gone down and veg oil gone up, but generally you don’t drink oil by its self but most often have it in conjunction with carbs. I agree that veg oil is bad and causes many health problems but I feel that so do the excessive carbs that are eaten. Mose people think they are healthy but they may as well be classed as sugar because they break down into sugar so quickly. My mum is obese and type 2 diabetic with autoimmune issues. She refuses to stop eating bread and rice because she is being told by her dr’s that it is essential and healthy.
This was really interesting. The most surprising is the acceleration how obesity and diabetes grow faster in the recent times, while sugar consumption actually even slightly decreases and veg oil consumption grows in slower rates. I think that those effects are delayed by generations who did not start their lives with such high consumption of veg oils and even sugar, while next generations spent their whole lives eating lots of it. The other factor might be also the physical activity. People now are generally less physically active.
@anthonychaffeemd How do we explain the differences in Japan of obesity and other diet related disorders? Asian cooking uses a variety of seed oils and vegetable oils and the Japanese are also heavy consumers of white rice and other carbohydrates. Do you have any data about this? Thank you!
My mother in law was Japanese. She came to the US and got fat. She ate somewhat similar as she did in Japan, the huge difference was, in Japan they consume way less. She would go back to Japan, and scoff at the small portions. So moderation explains alot.
How would MCT oil be classified? This is used to improve Alzheimer's symptomatic. Dr Mary Newport used it to improve her husband's Alzheimer's after reading a rat study.
Dr Chaffee (or anyone)... I've heard that the main issue with omega oils is the balance between 3 and 6. However, I've not sought out the papers personally (2nd hand knowledge). I'm just wondering... Would supplementing with a high amount of omega 3 mitigate against the accumulation in your body fat? I've already done the best thing for the issue... Switched to a carnivore diet, only cook with tallow and lard, and I've lost 16kg of excess fast in the last 3 months!
I’ve been wondering the same. I supplement with high omega-3 and make sure to get salmon in my diet. I can definitely tell when I don’t have enough omega 3 because my skin starts to have problems. I’m sure I have tons of accumulated omega 6 and tons of omega 3 seems to be helping, but that’s just me going off a hunch and theory and not having much to back it up besides that omega 3 and 6 should be balanced.
Interestingly, the statistics given by Dr. Knobbe , are only taken into account the use of pure sugar ? If so , how is the tormented, cereals, starch vegetables, fruit ? I think obesity is just from increasing the consumption of this product category.
