Is Meat Bad for you? 

■Edit: Some people seem to think I am advocating "blood letting" despite flashing on screen in all caps "I'm not saying people should 'bleed' themselves" and that any benefit experienced by people in the past probably had something to do with placebo effect as well. So, no, I'm not advocating old school "blood letting." ■Edit#2: There's a response video to this video by a youtuber that a couple people have asked me to comment on. That youtuber essentially explains why they think this video is inaccurate. ( *TLDR* : RU-vidr makes a video saying I've misrepresented a study - says my words don't match the study I referenced. He was looking at the wrong study.) At 11:22 of the video response he says "This is where things get really bad and I think he needs to correct this in some way..." and brings up the part of my video where I said "Unfortunately, it looks like iron supplements don't cut it for pregnant women. Despite taking prenatal vitamins with iron, 58% of the women had iron levels below normal." He goes on to say that he looked forever at this study that I referenced, only to find that this 58% figure was no where in the study and that I was blatantly misrepresenting the study. Moreover, he says "Worst of all, this [study] actually undermines his whole video on heme iron, because all 19 of those women were given heme iron throughout their pregnancy..." That is, he's suggesting that if there is a 58% of women who had low levels of iron despite supplementing with iron, these women were actually supplementing with heme iron and therefore heme iron is not effective for maintaining iron levels in pregnant women. Ironically, this is a misinterpretation on his part. The reason he couldn't find that 58% figure in that particular paper of mine he was looking at was because it was the wrong study. The source for the statement "Despite taking prenatal vitamins with iron, 58% of the women had iron levels below normal" is NOT the study he was looking at - "Maternal hepcidin is associated with placental transfer of iron derived from dietary heme and nonheme sources." The source for the 58% figure is "Maternal prenatal iron status and tissue organization in the neonatal brain."

Lately when I hear about new nutritional studies, I always want to find out who paid for the study to be conducted.

I actually do Blood-Letting... by Flossing...

The Simpsons really have a skit for everything, _Best stock footage_

I have hemochromatosis so I thought I'd never be anemic, but I got too many phlebotomies and now I'm severely anemic at the moment. Both extremes feel awful.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR ALL MOUSE STUDIES: in recent eric weinstein podcast ep 19 with his brother Bret they talked about how laboratory mice used in medical experiments are bred by accident to be super resistant to toxins and extremely cancer prone.

Meat is a health food.

These are always a pleasure to watch!

"Growing people, and people who're growing people..." 😂

I went vegan for a while if years ago, after about a year I was severely anemic. Despite paying very close attention to this in my diet (anemia runs in the females of my family) once I started eating meat again the anemia faded For the life of me I could never figure out why this happened. I almost started thinking it was in my head. Thank you for posting this video!

Meat isn’t great for you in excess. Any valid study shows this. But you don’t have to avoid

Oh how amazing it would be if nutritional science could answer any question in a conclusive way. As it is it all seems rather pointless to draw from.

This is the best healthy and nutrition channel on my opinion, always demystifying the myths of the food and pharmaceutical industry

Fat has ZERO insulin response. All calories are NOT equal.

Thank you so much for all the knowledge you put out! My husband and I follow your channel and always get excited when you post a new video. Keep up the good work of spreading knowledge!

This really, really helped me understand my father's medical condition. Thank you!

If you were not convinced, here. Watch any of "Vegans: The Epitome of Malnourishment" by sv3rige You will think twice before eating anything but meat.

This video had a bunch of references, but it did not really have a conclusion.

You know what grinds my gears? That pill siting at the edge of her hand at 5:29 ... and also the World Health Oraganisation

My understanding was there is no way of the body to get rid of iron, not that it holds onto it desperately.

Half an hour ago I was thinking about how it had been a while since you uploaded...

Imagine meat being toxic.. even though you are made of meat... studies never lie! Tip for those willing to try it: Raw meat is the way to go. Our ancestors ate raw meat for millions of years, cooking meat reduces nutrients and cause the protein to become toxic. Cant remember the last time I ate anything that wasnt raw meat, some of us eat this way for over 9 years. Its not luck, it actually keeps us healthy. Look up Aajonus Vonderplanitz.

ah yes a maryland man. i love the sight of old bay in any video. bravo!

Video: "iron iron iron Rust, but nvm, But yes, actually no" So... should you eat or not eat meat?

I love the juxtaposition between education and Simpsons's clips

I lost my border line diabetes and high blood pressure and heart murmur. I ate more meat. Less carbs sugars. I still eat some veggies and fruits. Which most things are all fruits. I also have auto immune which helps alot eating more meat.

Thank you for such thoughtful and well researched content. Your channel has been at the top of my list of creators with must watch videos for a long time!

Meat free mondays has more to do with global warming than health concerns where I live

5:34 -- talking about Iron with a magnesium supplement bottle in view. All kidding aside, love these videos. Thanks for sharing what you've learned through scientific backed studies.

My friend sent me a tiktok of a guy saying “meat causes diabetes” and I was laughing so hard. So I sent her this video

So there's clearly good evidence to suggest that meat intake leads to a more balanced diet and provides easily absorb-able sources of heme iron and proteins as well as animal fats, but are there studies showing how much daily intake would be ideal? Do we eat meat every day? A couple of times a week? etc? also great video as always. I always look forward to your uploads and the idea of having higher quality vids with after effects sounds great :D

Finally..... you haven't post any videos for past few months, I thought you left RU-vid...........I was really glad when I received the notification. Looking forward to more of your videos, your work is amazing.

i think that this channel should be called "what ive copied and pasted , and not even thought about "

great video! been looking forward to this one... effects were better than ever my dude

This is why when my nose bleeds, I allow it to bleed for about 6-10 minutes.

Is it the meat or is it the seeded bun, double dipping, fries and mcflurry

carbs is the true killer

I eat a lot of meat and I'm not fat like a lot of Americans.

Man, I love this channel. Never stop speaking and searching out the truth.

We missed you buddy! Thanks for another great video :)

"What I've learned" == "What I wish it was true"

You are a master of picking up the information from this matrix of lies. Thank you and respect for your work.

The dislikes are from toxic vegans cause they aren't happy with the "fake result". Obviously.

This is total Bovine Scatolgy.

Finally a new video. I appreciate the amount of research and effort you put into producing quality videos.

Nutrition science is so wonky primarily because 1. You can't control for all the other lefestyle factors 2. People respond differently to diet. Some people thrive on high fibre & carbohydrate rich plant based diets, others thrive on fat rich moderate protein low carb diets. Look at Japanese vs Nordic vs Mediterranean.

Can you investigate what supplements are the best for brain function aswell as for memory?

Vegans in the comments go rrrreeeeeeee

Hello, but you can also choose to not eat animals for ethical reasons. So much for your intro that says " for some reason people stop eating meat" yeah because they realise it doesn't make a huge difference on them but a huge difference on the animals that wouldve been slaughtered. Greetings.

I would love to have links for the studies referenced in your vids mate.

Brilliant as usual! If I may, maybe your heme should not have a mean face in the end after all. I love the way you give hard facts so nicely that it feels like I'm listenning to a simple story. i'll check skillshare if that's where you learnt that skill, any course in particular you would suggest?

I'm in love with your channel So nice elaboration and explanation Keep going 🤗

very high quality videos on that channel

wonders why he feels like shit running 150 miles in the sahara desert?

ONE study show this ONE study shows that in some over your videos. Very much cherrypicking studies mate. You need to have some forest plot to back your word up.

This channel should be called “What I Want To Believe”

thanks for doing these videos

I just ate a can of smoked oysters mid-video and, no joke, the sound became clearer and the picture sharper.

The WHO has lost all credibility.

A short note on style: I prefered the more simple animations of your older videos, and I think you have to be very careful with adding sound effects. Sometimes fancier animations and sounds hinder the viewers ability to digest the information instead of aiding it. For example 13:15 there is information overload, and the sound effects are distracting. Still love the channel though.

I love your videos! Are you a medical researcher? Thank you for creating such a high quality video that explains complex topics that are amusing and easy to understand. 💖

Hello, I really appreciate your videos and your content. I've learned a lot about a lot of things and... I have a question for you. What is your opinion on raw milk? And I don't know if you have heard about the Warrior Diet, and if so, what is your opinion too. I thank you! 😊

Well, the issue is that we simply cannot give meat to everybody without destroying the environment for good. Plus, meat is expensive. Poor people have no choice.

The truth is sedentary life style. Imagine having to walk everywhere?

OOF the vegans showed up to this comment section and they are not happy LMAO

I hope this is not a propaganda channel because its mind-blowing.

Praise be upon heme.

Thankyou

I also unsubscribed

How are your videos not getting the usual 1 million or so like before? I have a feeling that it's the RU-vid algorithm again pulling this shit over creators again.

cow farts will destroy the universe.

You did not mention the issue of overconsumption of protein.

Kind of irresponsible to simply state that iron supplements are inadequate when in the article Bradley Peterson states that the pregnant women self reported their iron intakes, emphasis on self report. We don't know which vitamins they were taking, whether they were synthetic or organic, whether they were multivitamins or not, etc etc.

GRASSFED MEAT, this is imporatnt to mention as grain fed is posion full of estrogen

Make a video on science of hair loss and hair regrowth

Not having a galore of iron might also indicate that your body is absorbing the iron well.

eating a animal foods only diet will alleviate hemochromatosis. it will also cure your metabolic syndrum over time.

I reduced my meat consumption a little while back and it took me a long time before I was able to donate blood regularly to the Red Cross as I normally do (approaching the 4 gallon mark). Heme iron is most easily absorbed, other methods take a ton of care and strategy to get absorbed properly.

Gotta love that Old Bay seasoning in the background at the end

Meat is great

So: eat steaks. Lift heavy.

No

It depends on your APOE genetics but yes you don't ever want to eat iron supplements. Alzheimers is basically iron and metal entanglements. Dementia is more rotting of the arteries, peripheral vascular disease, coronary disease. All the same thing.

I was a vegetarian (Seventh day Adventist) my whole life until 2 years ago. I would recall my childhood feeling like I was in a daze/fog for most of it, and even in my adult life as well. Now I haven't had brain fog in the entire time I've been eating meat. Anecdotal, yes, but I'm a believer big time now.🥩🍖🍗🥓. I just feel better, and I crave cheese/eggs/bread far less now.

Iron is not bad. Too much iron is bad. Meat is good. Dairy is good. Pregnant women always crave red meat if they’re deficient.

Is cupping considered similar as blood letting?

So this explain why my friend that donnated a lot of blood got problem with his low iron level

Great content I’m happy following you ❤️🙏🏼

Stable video 👍

What in the world do I do now?

Everything else aside do you know anything about IBD and Crohn's? Has it ever caught your interest? It might. It's generally only seen in first world countries though we don't know what causes it. That said diagnosis rates are apparently exploding in nation's with high levels of air pollution like India and china so a leading theory is that the particulate matter may play a role

Evolution. Humans consumed insects. 80% of the world's population consume insects. Only in European, herding people are animals the prrponderant source of protein. The biggest problem with meat is the high n-6 to n-3 fatty acids from animal consumption of seeds, which are huge sources of n-6 fatty acid. A high n-6 to n-3 ratio is inflammatory and is relevant to all chronic illness.

Wonder if the youtuber who went meat free for a year was taking his iron supplement w vitamin c Its critical for absorption

Ah yes, always fires up the dopaminergic system when I see a new WIL Vid drop 🧠👏🏼

14:41 The worst pronunciation of "kurzgesagt" I've heard in a while LMAO

My sister got anemia after going vegan for a year. She's a nutritionist and took all the proper supplements, I'm happy to say she's back on the meat wagon. Her doctor told her to "stop jumping on stupid fads, any diet that has you supplementing minerals and vitamins that our bodies evolved with is unnatural".

Nutritional science is weak across the board. Haven't much faith in it these days. Studies can be bought and sold too easily. Now if you like epidemiology and food questionnaires, then go with it.

Funny how human’s over complicate things. We evolved being Hunter/Gatherers. We chased Bison for days and would eat meat and fish, while women collected wild veggies and occasionally fruit. We never found loaves of bread or bowls of cereal laying in the forest. So a high meat diet, with veggies and some fruit would logically be what our bodies naturally evolved to eat.

My takeaways from this video: - Keep eating meat - Start donating blood

A video about meat, neat! Silly viewer, this video is about iron.
