These Masterclasses would be much more digestible for your audio-only listeners if you said a quick intro before each change of segment to give the listener context on who is speaking and about what.
Is there a difference from getting omega 6s from eating the whole nut or seed verses the refined, extracted oil? I prefer to eat whole plant foods rather than refined extracted products.
"Nutrition Made Simple!" has a video on it. There are small differences (could also just be over testing) in one or the other direction. Nothing major.
Although I have listened to many of these interviews previously, I continue to learn more from the re-mix. I was blown away by the discussion about the APOE4 gene! Thank you, Simon.🤗
Your guest spoke that high levels of omega 6 is associated with better heart health. Can you give some links to citations. In my research i found most research point to the contrary. Also can you clarify if according to you higher omega 6 is only linked to lower ldl marker or actual lower incidence of heart diseases.
@@TheProofWithSimonHill thanks. The paper authors have significant conflict of interest receiving funding from unilever, gates foundation and other seed oil industry. Please check other papers also for example Google "Omega-6 vegetable oils as a driver of coronary heart disease: the oxidized linoleic acid hypothesis" James J DiNicolantonio. Anyways, my principal concern is more with the Industrial refining process that uses hexane and high temperature solvents and the transfats. I stick to butter, lard, extra virgin olive oils and lower temperature cooking and feel really good. Sometimes our own bodies can give us much better feedback than all these correlational studies which are often driven by funders agenda. And everytime i taste refined oil my taste buds simply reject it.
@TheProofWithSimonHill i wrote a long reply but it is deleted. Censorship by youtube or by you? The article you posted was funded by seed oil manufacturers, gates foundation and unilever.
@@TheProofWithSimonHill The link to the article you gave are full of conflict of interest. check the funder, gates foundation, unilever and seed oil manufacturers.
That happens to be what I do. While there is no reason to assume oil is harmful, I see no reason to add them either. They up the energy intake for no obvious reasons, and too much energy is the main problem we have.
Should I just get my blood cells tested for only the Omega 3 index or is it important to also test for the 6 to 3 ratio and what portion of the total Omega 3 is DHA and EPA?
Simon, you are my favorite YT nutritional expert. I am very much interested in all things nutritionally related, and I appreciate all of your interesting and helpful content.❤
Hi Simon! You're one of my go-to podcasters for fact-based health information. I just finished listening to "Good Energy" by Casey Means. She seems very earnest and genuine. She however has a strong anti-seed oil bias. I'd love you to do a podcast with her. She also doesn't seem too concerned about high LDLs; it's almost impossible to argue with Mendelian randomization analysis that shows high LDL is causative for heart disease... Thanks!
@@douglasgoodman226 seed oils are artificial toxins. Originally designed as an engine lubricant, but then sold for human consumption to make billions. Eat them if you want the real cause of heart disease. Ldl is used to carry molecules around the body in order to carry out its natural function. It's essential for healthy development. Ldl in no way causes heart disease. Follow the money trail.
WOW I have listened to it from start to finish. Too much to take in. May i please ask a simple question: I am on Dr Esselstyn diet. Whole foods plant based, no sugar,no oil snd minimum salt. I take a table spoon of flax. Is that enough? What mire can I do? Where do I go from here?
@@TheProofWithSimonHill Thanks for the response. I am based in the UK. We don't have these products to measure the omega3 index. It's definitely not available on the NHS. Sometimes I feel that we are years behind in technology than the USA
Great info on the importance of adding EPA / DHA into our diet. I took a look at the Supplement Facts panel on the OVega-3 product and am not sure that I like the following ingredients - Corn Starch , Glycerin ( from palm oil ) , Sorbitol , Carrageenan, and Caramel coloring. I recall hearing negative comments regarding those substances. I will have to research them , but would be happy to read comments from Simon and others about them.
Follow up regarding previous comment - those ingredients were listed on an OVega-3 product offered through Amazon. I am now looking at the ingredients from OVega-3 offered through Costco and it is much cleaner. I will give the product a try.
I have wondered about arachidonic acid and its inflammatory effects even as pufas are being touted by Simon and others but epidemiological evidence impresses me. Like Simon I would like to know how this makes sense. Perhaps some other yet to be discovered benefits of omega 6? Still would like to know is the method of manufacture ever taken onto account or indeed is there a healthier way to produce pufa/seed oils? Finally, years ago when I first heard of this, I heard epidemiological evidence that higher okega 6 was associated with higher cancers - Israel was used as a an example. Very finally, I heard more recently that the deleterious effects of omega 6 only occurred with inadequate omega 3 so I wonder how the epidemiological studies referred to by your first guest look at that if at all
We will be discussing your book soon with the group with the Brain Docs. I hear that you may be able to grace us with your presence, that would be terrific if it happens.
Check out the new Physionic post. The evidence advanced by the proponents of c15 who unsurprisingly also sell the product is poor science and not sufficient to support the many claims re 15
Simon, please coin a new phrase for nutrients that are not strictly essential but are nonetheless conditionally essential, essential for a full and healthy life in most people, etc. I'll propose primary and secondary nutrients to distinguish them, perhaps "supporting nutrient" would be better.
Simon, will you please interview people with opposite views that have written books or articles on these subjects? All you seem to do is interview folks that you agree with, Nick Norwitz being the exception.
Dave Feldman, Nick Norwitz, Richard Johnson have all been on - don’t agree with them on several things. Joel Fuhrman, Don Layman, Stuart Phillips etc (list goes on) - don’t agree with them on several things.
@@TheProofWithSimonHill I mean other experts that vehemently disagree and have the proof to back it up. Here's a list.... Nina Teicholz, Cate Shanahan, Ben Bikman, Paul Mason, Ken Berry, Anthony Chaffee, Bart Kay (that would be fun), Robert Lustig, David Diamond, Casey Means, Sally Norton, Bret Scher, Chris Palmer, Nadir Ali, Jason Fung, Robert Cywes, Zoe Harcombe.... and the list goes on. Would you like more suggestions?
I’m yet to find an answer for if eating eggs (arachidonic acid) with fatty fish would affect the Omega 3 level of that menu? Some experts here mention Omega 6 to 3 ratio alright but is that per day or each meal? If anyone could answer, I’d much appreciate it.
Not sure if this fully answers your question…. But from what I’ve read - so long as you’re getting adequate levels of omega 3 - there’s not much point in paying attention to the ratio of omega 3-6…
Thank you for your reply. I guess I should have instead asked, if arachidonic acid has somewhat precedence over Omega-3 in terms of processing (metabolization whatever) by the liver, (like, one of the experts in this video spoke about it saying when dietary arachidonic acid is decreased, EPA levels increase; likewise another said opt for high ALA with lesser linoleic acid content since both usually exist together), would it be better to separate the fish and eggs into different meal timing? This may sound a meaningless search for detail but I can only eat fatty fish in form of a soup where one egg is one the ingredients and I really don't want to supplement; and since I feel like I'm sacrificing my taste buds for health by eating fish lol, I'd rather it worked for its intended purpose :) Edit: a better way to ask; would cooking fish with sunflower oil (omega-6) hurt that meal's Omega-3 contribution to the body?
Cutting out seed oils will do you good! Eat whole foods (food with one ingredient). Keep the starchy stuff to a minimum. No sugar, no ultra processed foods. If it can live on a shelf for more than a week, don't eat it. If you're going to eat processed food, make sure you process it yourself if possible.
