Dr. Pran Yoganathan - 'What is the beef with beef?' 

I became carnivore and regained robust health. I'm 75 come August.

Proven facts that beef is the ultimate diet for health and strength, look at the diseases and weaknesses of the elderly who forget to eat protein, and live off of oats and toast.

Wow! Well, I am 72 years old this year. I wasn't expected to live this long because in my 30's I developed Crohns disease. I was ill for decades. Through my experimenting and researching GP (now retired) who looked into nutrition and a lot of the stuff you've mentioned, I learned to change my diet. First off he determined that I had an allergy to all the grasses. Not just the pollen during hayfever season, but the ones I ate. Determining a gluten issue (not celiac) had me going gluten free initially, which helped. But he said 'not good enough'. And he suggested going grain-free. Totally grainfree. Reading labels was mandatory as additives are often derived from grain. I started all this a decade ago. For some years my gastroenterologist said "I don't know what you are doing, but keep doing it. You keep showing a decrease in Crohn's activity each time I see you." Although I really did feel much better, 5 years ago, I began to look into other things - and began the low carb keto route. I also have carnivore days, and some intermittent fasting times. My last visit to the gastro was "I can find no evidence of Crohn's, I don't need to see you unless your GP contacts me with a recurrence". He didn't want to hear about my diet changes unfortunately... But I was headed for an early death. Not now! I listened with much interest today to what you had to say and I thank you! It takes courage for Doctors like yourself to go 'against the grain' (pun intended) of the general medical and health community.

72Yrs now, went hi fat, protein & low carb 5 Yrs now. No meds now never felt better. Learn something every time i listen to the good Dr.

Damn, this guy went in deep. Drawing parallels between centralized medicine to central banking really got my attention.This was the most enthralling presentation I've heard in a while. Lots of new info. Salute to Dr. Yoganathan!!

Nurse practitioner here in US. Keto/carnivore for 5 years after watching The Magic Pill documentary. I am so inspired by the due discussion and even more outraged by the state of healthcare. Maybe I will retire in 5 years, by a farm, and become a regenerative farmer. Thank you for standing up and speaking the truth. 🙏

Excellent presentation. As a physician, we need more of us to stand up for restorative farming and nutritious food. This plant based agenda is scary (once a vegan realizing this was unhealthy for me). Thank you very much for sharing this video. 😊

I really love this channel, it contains some of the best and most helpful talks on diet and health.

Great presentation! Changing my diet to mainly red meat has transformed my health. I lost 115 pounds, drastically improved bloodwork, aches, pains, brain fog and depression all gone! We’ve been misled!

Mostly eating beef, a few eggs bacon and occasional avocado for about 10 weeks - lost 5 kg bloating and gut issues (leaky gut / dysbiosis) greatly improved, skin clearer. I have had the occasional cheat day/meal and still have a few cravings, but loving the results. Great presentation - Low carb down under especially Dr Paul Mason well worth watching.

The same thing that happened with eggs. Beef and eggs are very cheap considered the level of nutritional value and satiety they provide. The food industry can't sell so many food like products, if beef and eggs are in their way, hence the demonization of saturated fat and cholesterol. Similar thing applies to other animal products too.

Very good presentation, thank you. I'm 63 years old 4 years carnivor it's saved my life but wife and 5 adult kids will not try it or even talk about it. They have university education and will not listen to an old farmer who research on RU-vid. Have a son, (commercial pilot) who can no longer fly because of the vaccine damage to his health.

This video was shared to me by a good friend so the first time I’ve seen Doctor Pran. I’m awestruck by his forthright attitude. And the things he saying. I’m very slowly coming round to the fact that those in charge of the medical profession do not have our best intentions. Living in the UK for example it was impossible to see your family doctor now in person since the pandemic. I’ve been suffering with gastric issues and told on numerous occasions to follow a plant/ grain based diet. I switched to a more meat based diet and have now slowly recovering. Keep going Doctor Pran. I have been sending this video to all my family and friends.

This presentation largely makes me want to cry. It feels as though the heavy doors in the holy mansions of hope are opening. And a part of me wants to grab hold of the each of the empty heads of greedy corporations and shout in their faces the frustration with their monumental stupidity toward everything that matters. Do they even consider their legacies? The destructive impact it is creating for their own children and grandchildren etc., in as little as 30 years? Let alone the rest of this world. I’m feeling so deeply. And I thank you for that🙏🏽. Please share this video like you proudly created it yourself. 🖖🏽💚

Dr Mason told me I would like Dr Pran Yoganathan ,he was absolutely correct, A plus video.

We own an old fashioned butcher shop. We need Beef! That’s why the old lady asked where’s the beef?

Love Low Carb Down Under video content. Dr Yoganathan is brilliant as always.

I always thought the carnivore thing was extreme but in doing an elimination diet to get to the root cause of my continued inflammation and joint pain, I have found almost all the organic veggies I eat are causing me pain and inflammation. I hope that one day I can eat some of these again but right now, I am finding myself nearly all animal based grass fed, pasture raised. I feel my body healing and pain is disappearing.

Dr. Yoganathan is very empowering.

I love beef and buy grass fed/grass finished straight from the Farmers. I'm mostly Keto but sometimes Ketovore or Carnivore, and feel so much better than when I was on the standard Australian Diet. I am over 60 and just love the way I eat.

Yes, that's one of my favourite photos. The manufacturer of those massive machines wiping out the land must be so proud of what they're doing. Not a single tree to be seen anywhere.

We know the truth! Our greatest obstacles have their roots firmly on one thing only. Money!

Really enjoyed this , he says it as it is 👍👍👍🇬🇧

I'm 59, been mostly carnivore for three years now. It's absolutely amazing how good I feel now. I had a quad coronary bypass done seven years ago. Carnivore has given me back my arterial health. I now have loads of energy, no more brain fog, my gut functions beautifully, my gums no longer bleed, I have no inflammation anywhere any more, and none of my joints have any pain whatsoever. Absolutely amazing. This IS the right way for humans to eat.

Spectacularly good presentation. Informative, concise, some good humor as well. This deserves a wide audience.

I will celebrate 1 year being carnivore April 3. So many health benefits! Never felt better!

thank you for bring just too honest with your Patients. U got to be a Brave man

Thank you for the commitment to keep us well informed on a healthy diet. It is so vital as the tide of misinformation is overwhelming. We need you 🙏👍❤

Real teacher. Real doctor. Never heard the allergic hazard for bugs as food. Eating meat made my Pyoderma Gangrenosum abate.

Disease is not a drug deficiency. This is an absolute bizarre state of mind. Memorable.

This presentation has been brilliant- thanks Dr Pran.

Thanks to LCDU and Dr. Yoganathan for an excellent presentation.

Thanks for stepping out of your comfort zone 🙂. Appreciate the information.

There is a barely suppressed anger simmering beneath his urgency to get the message out....

Another AMAZING talk !!! 🙏

Regarding Australian meat:- The FAR greater majority of our beef is _wholly_ pasture raised and finished, with the cattle never seeing a feedlot in their lives. What percentage of beef we do finish in feedlots, aren't raised there; most of it is exported, and even then, most was fed grass anyway! What percentage of the feedlot beef is grain-fed, is all exported to those markets who prefer it ~ namely the US and Japan. As a _general_ rule, there's none of it left for our supermarkets, who generally won't buy it; and our butchers definitely won't -- that's an industry standard practice according to my local butcher. And as for our jolly jumbucks, they're all wholly pasture-raised and finished. Australian pork is mainly raised in pens, about 90%, but to probably the highest ethical and quality standards in the world -- our sows _can_ turn around, roll over, stretch out, and until ready to farrow, be with the rest of their 'sister' sows in their little social-units, as they like. And though only 10% for now, freely-ranging and outdoor-ranging/indoor-feeding & sleeping methods of pork-rearing are growing (and before you lament them being in pens at all, remember that a small, close nest is natural for sow -- that's what she _wants_ as a place to farrow. Remember too that pigs are omnivores, not herbivores, and given the chance, a pregnant sow will eat the piglets of another sow. She'll only eat her own in extreme stress, but those of another sow are fair game; so each sow has to be kept separately and enclosed, at least for the late-pregnancy, farrowing and to-wean phases, otherwise none of their piglets would survive to become the bacon you love. Even in otherwise freely-ranging pigs, the pregnant sows still have to be separated and penned if you want them and their piglets to survive; but this just mimics their natural behaviour ~ in the wild, a pregnant sow will wander widely from her social-group, choose a separate and isolated place, and construct a grass/reed nest so she's protected on three sides, for her farrowing; and if she can find a discarded den, that's what she'll prefer, even if it seems cramped to our eyes -- in one way just like a wild cat, she too will build her grass/reed nest with surprisingly close quarters). The Australian meat-chicken industry has similarly high standards, and our meat-chickens are never reared in cages. They're mostly raised in large, dirt-floored sheds, and mostly have some free-ranging access; or they are wholly freely-ranging during the day, coming back to the shed only to roost at night. Most of our eggs are also now produced by freely-ranging hens. So don't mistake our meat industry for anyone else's -- they are really quite different.

Anti meat is religious in origin. Seventh Day Adventists

We have been living on lies for so many years and now we are left with a mish-mash that people will have a hard time figuring out what is true. Of course you are helping us find our way.

Fantastic presentation really makes a lot of sense!

Top lecture. Keep at it.

Yes, deer and kangaroo are very good meat, but not very much fat.

Such a trip how i have been saying the majority of this stuff now for over a year and now im hearing a doctor saying it from NZ.

We must protect Dr. Pran. He is speaking so much truth! I support you..

Fantastic presentation, dropping truth bombs and hitting it out of the park.

I've recently been trying carnivore, mostly! The advocates of this lifestyle instruct you to be strict with it, although I will admit to having kraut, garlik, limes in moderation Being of European ancestry, I know we were built to survive on some plant and herb matter..

Yassss as a processed meat lover I love this! Bacon and slim jims are some of my favorite "junk" food, and I am also definitely getting more into sausage after seeing this. Yum!

Comments are fire here as usual. Nice work everyone

I would love to know if the sumarian recipes have been translated. Always always I am asking, what were recipes like in areas before trade spread various fruits and grains around the world?

Great talk. New points mentioned about why fasting is good.

Thank you!

Great presentation, thank you

I think we are seeing the result of two things which have caused the growth of veganism and vegetarianism. The first is what I call the Disney effect. Now several generations of children have been brought up with the idea that animals are people. Depictions of humanised animals from Mickey Mouse to Bugs Bunny have had s psychological effect on society. The other things is the further urbanisation of the population so that generations have become separated from the sources of food, such that children can be horrified to learn that the red wet stuff in that plastic packet used to be a real living animals - like Bambi. Then when they learn that cutesy lambs are actually slaughtered the shock leads them to seek to live without meat. As adults they acquire a set of "rational justifications" to soothe their guilty minds. Vegan are particularly adept at specious arguments by which they sit on their high moral horses (organic or course) from which they can wag their decrepit fingers.

We raise our own meat and eggs (so rarely eat chicken) but, sadly, no longer milk our house cow for milk, butter, cheese and yoghurt.

Chew up a piece of beef and feed to young children for their health

We are obligate carnivores. There’s no essential carbohydrates. Not one!

Wow this man is so Informed

My story will back him up mate no worries

I like this Dr he is based, good on him .

The beef industry needs to humanely raise and slaughter grass fed grass finished cattle and ADVERTISE its doing so

they test for gyphosate in the meat but not the fat where it may acumulate, is there any testing done on the fat?

small carnivore here. i eat 250 kilos/beef/year - pound and a half per day

Thank you for sharing your expertise, Dr Y.🙏🙏🙏 Btw, a genuine query here: have you ever come across a civilisation that did not involve a subclass of humans, ie some type of enslaved caste? At one time I was hopeful about the Vettones in Spain, but then learned that the individuals identifying as female were tasked with a disproportionate amount of the grunt work.

When you construct a meal founded on plants meat is a second thought not only is it too small of a portion of animal food but it is hard to metabolize along with such a heavy plant load the more I refine my meals with exclusive animal products the easier they are to Digest And the stronger my body gets

Where are the journalists ?

The main reason for the reduction in beef consumption will be from the increasing cost, not dietary considerations. Most of us can't afford to eat much red meat these days.

People have been brainwashed. I switched to a Paleo diet with lots of red meat, never any processed food or grains. . It's unbelievable how many people try to tell me I'm gonna have a heart attack.

I really don't understand this "war" on beef, it doesn't even hold that veganism or vegetarianism is better for the planet and it's bad for the animals, both domestic and wild. I love cows, they taste good. Ditch the bread, not the ham.

Grass-fed beef or corn-fed beef? It DOES matter.

IARC, not IRAC

Great overview of the politics of stupidity. Look what happened when the opioid industry invested in educating doctors and regulatory agencies. Opioids feel good, like sugar, bread, and processed food taste good.

You are not invited to many medical conferences any more Mr Yoganathan because medics and academics are not generally critical thinkers and therefore your points of view would not be welcome. . I have spent the last 30 years teaching critical thinking to university undergraduate students- not medics I'll admit- but somewhere, something has failed. We no longer seem to think critically. I however am a critical thinker who is 8 months carnivore and who has experienced health benefits beyond what I would term 'miracles'.

The forever chemicals have no role in cancer ?

I eat less meat than I used to but usually consume a small portion with my evening meal. The problem in the U.S. and maybe Australia is the CAFO's. Controlled Animal Feeding Operations are overflowing with cattle manure and their nitrogen-rich excrement is flooding into streams and rivers and making it's way into the ocean. This increase nitrogen in the ocean is causing a wild overgrowth of algae that dies and sinks to the bottom of the ocean where it suffocates the plankton that is responsible for providing much of the Earths oxygen. Ninty percent of Americas crops are used to feen livestock. Hog CAFOs are even worse with their five to ten million gallon tanks of manure that also runs into the groundwater, rivers, and streams and into the sea. Grass-fed beef is a fantastic food. The corn fed beef that flood the grocery stores is not nearly as high in quality and nutritional value for omega 3s. I wish we could get back to old fashion cattle farming that produced amazing beef. The CAFOs are cruel to animals, produce a second-class product, and kill the environment along with it. I wish it wasn't so.

that event was the lesser dryad, a mini ice age...

Funny watching this eating my one daily meal of ... Beef

I've always thought i was just gassy and that bubble guts was a normal thing. when i cut plants out of the picture for a few days, my gut was fine, then i made chickpea pancakes with kale and lemon tahini dressing, oooooh boy my gut was not happy, so I'm back on the meat\fat , hopefully things clear up quickly

I think we can be somewhat omnivorous, but unfortunately a lot of people are metabolically sick and/or addicted to carbs/sugar, so eating a carnivore diet is the only way to heal.

Very interesting stuff. Carb cycling should not be a thing, IMO.

Gut microbiome research is still in its infancy and is plagued by reports based on weak correlations. Folks who are basing their whole notoriety and careers on this (think Tim Spector et al ) are, by definition, being selective in what they believe.

Well said

are they planning to teach elementary age kids about sex consent what the hell that means? my god, utter madness.

It’s killing the Amazon rainforest.

what in blazes happened during the mid-70s to make beef so bloody popular for a few years?

Good morning 😃

As a medical professional I feel pretty angry that dr. Yoganathan's colleagues gosip call him a conspiracy theorist. When I talk about low carb diets for epilepsy or depression with my friends who are physitians I get a feeling they are looking at me like I'm somekind of exotic animal in a zoo. Ketogenic therapies continue to help more people with their health issues and there is an encreasing amount of studies proving that it is not just a coincidence but causation. Many physitians I know almost always assume that ketogenic diet is either just another fad diet or a very dangerous road straight to a patient's funeral. I have to be very careful what you say publicly as a medical professional these days😔

Ii months carb free. 74 in July totally on top of everything Drug deficiency: or eat these plants because they are good for you, even if you are not ill.😅

I thought it was the Hindus and other religions of India, not the British, was why people in India are vegetarian. Plus cows are supposed to be sacred.

Re. farming I read hints that suggested acriculture / farming was the beginning of the downfall of humans... even J. Diamond hinted at this. The so called hunters and gatherers were more healtlty and fitter (and had less work to do in fact!). Also it seems the original grains were not even eatable or worthy tto farm... but then here was some kind of GMO´d corn (invented or brought in by "someone"?)

I don't think civilisation gave us religion. I think that is as old as our species. It is found in hunter gatherers. Mostly civilisation is about addressing problems, usually of our own making. Every problem has its origin in previous solutions to previous problems.

I stew cheapest beef

Dogs GI and Pig GI are different from each other. Ours is closer to dogs and dogs GI implies hyper-carnivorous. You’ve committed the exact same logical flaw as the ones described at the beginning by asserting that the digestive change over 60,000 years skews them omnivorous? Compared to millions of carnivorous? Laughable. You’ve drawn your omnivorous conclusions in the beginning and find the conjecture that supports it. All animals eat meat, they crave it, it is understood intuitively, even by herbivores, that meat is better. A herbivore is just a hunter only equipped to hunt what cannot move, but are opportunistic carnivores who will consume birds, field mice, even as big as dogs, only fresh though since they are ill-equiped to deal with carrions bacterial load The reason they were domesticated was because of the meat we have present from our hunts. Not because we cultivated some type of plant that caused them to domesticate.

BTW: Has anyone done research on how prevalent skin cancer is in the population that takes statin medications? Just 🤔

I just listened to Brian's interview with Mr. Klurfeld. Apparently he (Klurfeld) even if he knows that fiber isn't essential he still recommends more of it(?!). Also, he's not fond of the carnivore diet, but rather believes 'everything in moderation'. So we're doomed if he's the only 'objective' member of the IARC.

the soundest of money is backed by electricity

Local gossip has it that Bill Gates is known to frequent Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Bellevue, near his home.

American cuisine doesn't handle crickets well. In Mexico, they eat fried crickets seasoned with lime juice, hot pepper powder, and salt. That's much less sad than American cricket flour.

if one wants to learn about deep time, one needs to study cosmology not aboriginal history.

not omnivorous, but facultatively carnivorous and humans are radically different from apes so much so as not even be primates.

what got me interested to this video?..... is the the name 'Yoganathan'.... as Indians are generally Hindus and generally vegetarians.....most Indians are very dogma to eating plants and seeds..... to Indians eating beef is a no-no.

My only concern with eating any kind of meat is that it originates from an animal that feels pain, has a soul and is/was aware. I know a lot of people will not agree with this, it’s just my opinion.
