I thought my brain was going to melt with all that info and statistics but I stayed focused and made it through. PURE basically confirms what we already know.
@@@StoicAurelius1, You strike me as the sort of person (vegan) that would be militantly opposed to any dairy. Why, then, are you so passionately opposed to full fat dairy? Hmmm? I'm willing to bet you can't adequately explain yourself there. I'm all ears...
To summarize and reiterate: the current guidelines to keep saturated fat below 10% is not supported by their data (or any data, for that matter). The WHO is the really big offender in promoting the vegetarian agenda and facilitating that poor people are kept in poor health and die sooner.
Whole plant based is the way to go. Look at the adventists in loma linda living the longest in the usa. They consume no animal products. This guy is pocking and choosing
@@StoicAurelius1 , Yes, look at the Seventh Day Adventists. They have influenced public health policy with non-science-based religious ideology for more than 100 years. Total conflict of interest and, not surprisingly, devoid of rigorous scientific protocol and procedure.
Martin Irving Would you explain how a small religious group such as adventist church influence the policy and procedure in the country like the USA? Have you even been to Loma Linda and see for yourself the centenarians taking evening walks with no cane or walkers? For your info i grew up in africa where people live on plant based diet and have no obesity people like we do here also dementia and other diseases are almost non existent. It is not just africa but also other communities around the world. I don't know where else you have been in the world but if you have, you could have seen the difference. Also as a medical professional i am speaking from experience not emotions or any other type of interest. Stay healthy America
@@StoicAurelius1 , Diabetes causes accelerated aging. Humans tolerate animal product very well. Humans tolerate plant product very poorly. The problem, of course, is it is much easier to produce plant product and profit from it. The rest is politics, moral philosophy and intellectual chicanery.
Martin Irving Humans do not tolerate plant products poorly quite the opposite. You are either stating your opinions or wishes but has no connections to the truth. I gave you real life experience and also work experience as a medical professional. If you think cheese burger, bacon and milk shake are easier on your body than kale, broccoli and beans, good luck to you. On the other hand i thank people like you because you keep me employed. Thank you
Epidaemiological studies can never demonstrate causation and contain many confounders that are difficult to make reasonable adjustments for.There are far better studies,for example the Minnesota study,The Womens Health Initiative.The cholesterol hypothesis has been debunked thousands of times in well executed research for well over a decade.Not one well conducted study has ever demonstrated a causal link between higher cholesterol and higher all cause mortality.Even studies on familial hypercholesterolaaemia groups could not establish a statistically significant increased incidence of CVD mortality and only a 0.01% increase in all cause mortality.Inversly low cholesterol levels were seen to cause earlier deaths from all causes.All carbohydrates lead to significant increases in insulin,even the so called ' good ' ones.
In the 30-60 yr old age group, Cholesterol blood pressure and triglyceride are very good predictors. In cultures that have no heart disease TC is always < 160 mg/dl. But that's NOT from taking statins. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_1DV8WYjt7A.html
Correlation don't imply causation. Problem isn't that people eat carbohydrates, but overeat calories. Any diet which enable people to lose and maintain weight (if they are overeat) is best diet for them. So low carbohydrate diet isn't any special when compared to other diets.
To lose body fat, your insulin levels have to be low. Carbs increase blood glucose and insulin levels. The best diet to lose body fat is one that reduces blood glucose and insulin levels like keto/low carb.
Correlation does it necessarily imply causation. It depends on the magnitude and the underlying science. In well controlled experimental studies (not epidemiology), low-carbohydrate diets generally do better on average than the controls. Not absolutely. The best diet for individual people is, as liutasx says, the best diet for them but low carbohydrate diets are generally better for them.
1:00 partially true, Saturated Fat does increase blood cholesterol however.. polyunsaturate oils are much worse and guess what they lower cholesterol just like Massai drink soured milk but they still had tremendous artery damage. This is also shown in the West German/Isreal study and also East Finland Karelia study. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1R1E3CqZeg8.html
PURE is not any better than the stuff that doesn’t confirm what we know. You take a “diet” which contains a hundred variables. You get a group of people and categorize by a few of them and you correlate with outcome and you get a comparison which - here’s the catch - compares the risk of getting sick from high intake vs. low intake. In other words, the HR is not sick compared to better. It is sick on one diet compared to the other. Consider an HR of 1.5. What that means is 60:40 odds of getting sick on one or the other. And remember, “validated” food questionnaire does not mean validated as true. It means validated to have a certain accuracy which, if your luck is 70 %. All of this is meaningless. I give Dr. Mente credit for trying to get something useful out of this but it is hopeless. No physical scientist would consider this as mature science. This is juggling numbers without any understanding of error and effect size - experimental, not statistical effect size. Hu-Willett theorem: for any collection of nutrients and any disease, there exists at least on finite set of confounders such that the nutrients can be shown to cause the disease.
27:33 "There are good carbs and there are bad carbs... higher fruit, vegetable, and legume consumption is associated with a lower risk of total mortality." 37:22 "High diet score... 8 servings of fruits & vegetables, 2.5 servings nuts & legumes, 3 servings dairy, 1.4 servings red meat..." 39:44 "Our concluding message... eat more fruit, vegetables, nuts, legumes, dairy, meats... eat less refined grains and sugar, and sweetened drinks." Well presented. The takeaway is not to increase saturated fat intake, but rather to eat less processed junk. Vegetarians may be eating more sugar and unhealthful processed food than those focused on eating "real food." That said, what PURE doesn't show is a reversal of heart disease like the angiograms from Caldwell Esselstyn, based on a whole food plant based diet that not only restricts processed food, but also removes vegetable oils, nuts, and animal foods (leaving only fruits, vegetables, legumes, and grains). Maybe it's also possible with a diet like Andrew Mente suggests, but so far the evidence isn't nearly as compelling.
Absolutely correct... don't remove high fat products just displace them with natural foods. Nuts are high in fat doesn't mean they are not healthy. There are benefits of eating 1-2 eggs per week even but NOT 4 per day.
