Way too many Americans are so DUMB when it comes to healthy eating and healthy lifestyles.I have no recollection of soda in my house growing up. I'm a second generation American.

I think it's rare for people to give their children caffeine in the US. If nothing else, people don't want their child hyper.

Americans are Addicted to the Worst food, as babies! Sugar, carbs, fried foods and salt... I was! Some of our everyday packaged food is Banned for consumption in other countries. 😮 The kids in my life, whose parents forbade sugar or excessive salt early on-- aren't craving them now, as adults-- and cooking is easier to them, than finding Healthy food here. Great Brains on all of them, too!

The difference in fat content isn’t as much as you think. I grew up on full fat and ate it for decades. “Full fat” vs low fat is only a 2% fat content difference

What almost no one ever talks about is that extreme diets are often interventions to an existing problem. This is why you have evidence on both sides that the radical change solved so many issues for the individual and the assumption is that it is the proper diet for everyone be it vegan or carnivore, etc. Just because one might have a peanut allergy does not mean peanuts are unhealthy for all.

Good for you. Vegan makes no sense from a nutrition point of view to me. Due to health issues my wife and I dumped vegetarian and went Keto - huge improvement in health. Now moving to nearly carnivore. What works for you may not work for others - I haven't felt this good since my teens (a very long time ago).

The problem isn't processed food, it's the ultra-processed foods that are increasingly commonplace in people's diets. Processing food by chopping, blending, or cooking can be very beneficial and aid nutritional uptake, but overprocessing it by extracting ingredients from food, modifying them, then putting them back into food, is what puts stress on the body. Basically, if there is a food you would be unable to make yourself at home with regular ingredients, it's been processed too much.

The term "processed foods" is a very broad category, which ranges from hot dogs to olive oil. Not all processed foods are equal. In fact, not all ultra processed foods are equal. Studies about ultra processed foods are skewed by things like lunch meats, cheese wiz, cookies, crackers, etc. That doesn't necessarily mean things like pea protein and miso are going to kill you.

That's step one.

And animals

Processed foods are overhyped as a boogeyman from the naturally organically natural mafia.

😂🤣

Nope. Many animals will eat unhealthy diets if given access to items scarce in their natural environment but essential in small amounts, probably because those with a genetically coded love of the taste would do the work to search the items out. Rats are very, very like us in the love of junkfood, for example. A story from zoology: researchers regularly use a spread of local foods to find out what a little-studied animal eats in nature, and use the cardboard box the food was carried in as a control. Quokkas on an island where the growth was high water content preferred the cardboard, though the plants had vital nutrients.

I’ve never had any problem figuring that out.

We are starchivores.

I had two heart attacks within one year, that was two years ago. I started on the carnivore diet about one year ago, and noticed a change within a few days.

I'm FINALLY healthy. I wish I had known about carnivore sooner. It would have saved me tens of thousands $$$ in medical expenses and lost wages.

@@karenflynn6589 Wow, I really hope you can get a second opinion. Even the carnivore influencers that you're listening to can't stick with that diet, and none of the people who have promoted it over the decades have had very impressive lifespans. Whereas 5 of the scientists who worked on the Seven Countries study (which publicized the Mediterranean diet) lived past 95 and 3 or 4 past 100, Caldwell Esselstyn and T. Colin Campbell are both still working in their early 90s, etc. All the research says that high-vegetable diets are healthy and carnivore/keto people can't point to a single famous adherent who lived past their early 80s. The unfalsifiable stories about "my grandmother who only ate pork balls, drank vodka, and smoked crack and lived to be 160" notwithstanding.

When it comes to Dairy and its effect on climate change, cheese is the worst type of dairy to have because it requires a lot more milk to produce it than liquid milk. Obviously, zero Dairy would ideal and is not required for a healthy diet. The majority of the world's population is lactose intolerant. Those countries with the highest levels of lactose intolerance are the healthiest populations. Those people living in Asia for example. So we can see that Dairy is not required for a healthy diet.

Your father sounds very sensible & disciplined. Bravo.

With all due respect to your Dad he has that saying incorrect. The saying is “All GOOD things in moderation”. So if meat (including seafood), dairy, eggs and all oils are bad for you then you should have none of them not a moderate amount. For example, how much cyanide should you have, none right?

True. One must pay attention to how their body reacts to the food it is fed. Far too often people eat only for the taste and not for the effects.

One of the biggest factors in longevity is Social life. Having a healthy social life is right up there with diet and exercise. Also your general outlook on life. Is it positive or are you always negative. People who are always negative tend to skip little things that add to their health. I seen a study done. Where the negative people tend to skip things like brushing and flossing their teeth regularly!

​@barakbalestrery4138 That "negative people don't brush or floss as often" is likely symptomatic of depression. It's known that people with depression neglect personal hygiene.

A whole 30 elimination diet will solve most issues if there are any food allert

Or just eat mangoes, papaya and bananas. There's no evil macros. Avoid processed foods(with fat removed). Avoid a lot of meat, nuts, and dairy. And eat the fruit we primates were meant for. I eat potatoes and don't need to add anything. That's because my taste buds have gotten so clean and more sensitive after quitting salt, sugar and spices.

I do fat free & no sugar added greek yogurt. I add fresh fruit and flaxseed meal. It's very good. No need for unnecessary sat fats.

Yes, exactly. So important to have a holistic viewpoint when it comes to health. We should all ask ourself, how will others be affected by my choices?

Indeed. As the discussion touches on, the dairy and meat industries are terrible in terms of GHG emissions.

Wow!!! Really???, 🤣🤣🤣 that is your vegan brain I guess.

Have you got your ldl level checked?

Your body asks you to feed it daily. Starving your body damaged your metabolism.

I eat constantly to maintain my weight since eating healthy. No processed foods, lots of fresh vegetables, fruit, grains, chicken and fish. It’s what you eat that makes the difference.

Doesn't that kinda depend on how much you eat? I think we can all agree that overeating is a common problem in the US, but that doesn't mean everyone overeats.

Not sure why my comment isn’t showing- What you eat is important! I eat healthy and constantly!

Also depends on the food you eat. If you eat very palatable highly processed food like potato chips. You tend to eat more. Plus these foods are calorie dense which means you get such a small portion to keep calories in check. Also salty processed goods tend to make you crave more sodas if you're the type to crave that but trying to quit.

Good.

What is a nutritarian diet?

@@jvallas A nutritarian diet style can be vegan or non-vegan. This eating style focuses on the nutrient-rich foods that unleash the body’s tremendous ability to heal, achieve optimal weight, and slow the aging process. Eat mostly plants means only eat animal products in small amounts, if any, such as meat, fish, dairy, and eggs. Whole food describes natural foods that are not heavily processed. Basically, the majority of our diet is made up of fresh and clean produce rather than food that comes out of a package. No S.O.S. (avoid added salt, oil, sugar). When we eat the whole nut over just the processed oil, we are eating the fiber and protective nutrients too! G-BOMBS is an acronym for Greens, Beans, Onions, Mushrooms, Berries and Seeds. These are the most health-promoting, anti-cancer superfoods on the planet. Make sure that you include some or all of them in your diet every day. > Greens: Greater consumption of these vegetables is linked to reduced risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease, and a longer life. > Beans: Beans and legumes are rich in fiber and resistant starch, which help keep blood glucose, blood pressure and LDL cholesterol down, and nourish the microbiome. > Onions: Onions and garlic are linked to a reduction in the risk of several cancers, and their distinctive sulfur-containing phytochemicals have a number of actions that benefit the cardiovascular system. > Mushrooms: Mushroom phytochemicals are unique in their promotion of immune system function with powerful anti-cancer benefits. > Berries: Berry phytochemicals have anti-cancer and blood pressure-lowering effects, and are linked to a reduced risk of heart attack. > Seeds: Eating raw seeds and nuts regularly is associated with longevity, reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, common cancers, and a healthy body weight. To reverse aging, one has to do what Matt Damon did to survive in the movie "The Martian" when he said "I am going to have to science the sh*t out of this." Check out the channel Conquer Aging or Die Trying to see a researcher who is trying out different interventions on himself and tracking his biomarkers over many years using statistical analysis of his bloodwork and diet. The term nutritarian was introduced in the excellent books of Dr. Joel Fuhrman. Cheers!

@@GaryHighFruit So one has to wonder where those vegans and fruitarians were getting their vit B12 from as it is absent from plants. Plants also contain little or no carnitine, saturated fat, creatine, taurine, glutathione, and are practically devoid of omega 3s. The omega 3 fatty acid in plants alpha linolenic is very poorly converted to DHA hence it's mandated addition to baby formulas. In fact, perhaps 50% of the human population converts only a small fraction to DHA. i suspect that these long lived vegans supplemented tgeir diets and probably ate fish regularly. New research also shows that protein requirements inc with age. And if you intend to eat 1.8g/Kg to maintain muscle mass later in life you won't want to consume all of that in the form of soy.

@@alfredadrianjr.4702 You know a lot of anti-vegan talking points. I know the rebuttals. * B12 is not a dietary nutrient. It comes from bacteria, which is found everywhere(except when it's killed. That's the only reason meat has B12. B12 comes from bacteria, which is found everywhere. The problem lies with eating things that kill off bacteria: anti-biotics and other medicines, pesticides, alcohol, garlic, onions, vinegar, and other poisons. This is why meat-eaters also get B12 deficiency. As for the other things absent from plants, But they are found in animals. Well, Humans are animals. If animals had to eat animals to exist, how would animal life begin? Plants were here first, and were needed to be for animals to enter. All animal substance came from somewhere else but in a different form. We are chemical factories and make all those other things. When humans eat other animals it's just the cannibalisation of it's own kind(another animal). It's not needed. That's why science has stated veganism is fine. But I want to address omega 3s. You said they are practically devoid of omega 3s. That's flat wrong. Every plant food has them. And there's no minimum set by scientists. And again, where do cows get all that omega 3? They make it from their plant diet. So do we. And you said "The omega 3 fatty acid in plants alpha linolenic is very poorly converted to DHA" This is more common twisting from anti-vegans. Why would that even be true as humans are primates designed for a low-fat frugivore diet?

@@GaryHighFruit Human beings are not monkeys...or even chimps. Chimps and gorillas have a much larger cecum as do frugivorous primates for production of fatty acids from fermenting bacteria.

"Latest research" generally means "what some diet guru told me". Saturated fat is a toxin, ask Atkins and Peterson.

We’re all test subjects for the drug companies

lol no. Meat industry propaganda. 🤦‍♂️

Yes!!!

Exactly. Meat is not causing diabetes. It's carbs and sugar. And sugar is in almost everything now. You body doesn't process fructose, so it goes straight to the liver where it is turned into fat.

@@tarag7292 Yeah it’s pretty simple. Diabetes is having chronically high glucose in the blood stream. Meat has 0 carbs, and almost doesn’t spike glucose at all. Almost like less sugar in the blood is good for controlling a disease with too much sugar in the blood.

@@Medeski-Medieval Exactly!

Wow you have no idea who this guy is right? Why would he go in to that level of detail here in a 20 minute interview? Plant Chompers does a detailed interview with the co-author of the study. You clearly don't understand how diabetes works.

@@mobydog99 Yes, I know who this guy is. And there are doctors who debunked his non sense. There is no concrete evidence that saturated fat alone is linked to diabetes. Dr. Ancel Keys was the one who linked fat with ill health by cherry picking his data. Since then, experts linked dietary fat as the worse thing to eat despite the fact that humans had been eating fat for thousands of years. Sugar is linked to the epidemic of obesity and diabetes. And even studies have correlate the rise of sugar consumption over the decades to poor health and obesity, and it sky rocketed after the invention of high fructose corn syrup. I am sorry but I get sick of people demonizing red meat and ignoring other factors like carbs and sugar, and ignoring how these macronutrients are processed in the body.

Absolutely!

Or could it be that the facts are pointing more and more in a anti-animal food direction?

This. Those studies are a joke. He’s biased and still lives by the playbook the FDA pushes down our throats. It’s killing people slowly.

This is definitely a stumbling block for a lot of newbie vegetarians. Plants are pretty low calorie, so you really have to eat a lot more of them than you might expect to meet your caloric needs. A burger and fries might do you as a meat-eater since burgers now are like 30-60% fat, but you might need to be eating twice as much or more as mushroom or grilled vegetable sandwiches to get the same caloric intake. Of course, depending on how much oil and stuff you're adding. A lot of people who claim to have "meat hunger" when they don't eat it simply are not eating ENOUGH when they go vegetarian.

the internet is bulging with great meat-like recipes too [using lentils and mushrooms]. there is nothing plants can't do. but it is a huge commitment and re-learning process. one that is delicious and worth.

I loved hearing from this guy. Nutrition is such a confusing subject with so many contradicting opinions. He knew how stuff, as everything he said was well-backed by evidence. Made me rethink a few things, especially how much red meat I'm eating!

In general, the doctor is correct. The devil is in the details. He is speaking to the widest audience, placating us.

That's because he is stuck in the past and not up to date on the latest science or hundreds of examples of anecdotal 1st person experiences. Which has to be taken into account due to results of before and after blood work spectrums. When combined makes it not merely anecdotal as they are using the scientific approach in tracking their progress. Huge lack of studies, with existing ones being very loosely regulated. I can put a hundred different doctors up here who say very different things and who show deeper knowledge than this guy. That does not mean one is right over the other. It means the science is not remotely proven. Watch a few videos on carnivore and meat and fruit diets. Tell me they are not persuasive in any way.

​@@mak7combatgsis204jim Jones was persuasive Look for studies and facts, not charismatic persuasion

the hubris holy

How about genetic evidence?

You forgot daily red meat. Too bad we cannot do a performance challenge and quality of life difference between us.

Sounds great.

that's just not true.

you hit the nail on the head❗

And I bet you also don’t take a bunch of maintenance meds either.

@@ds654 Correct. I don't have to take maintenance meds even though I am an old guy.

CARN4LIFE

How many pushups now? And how many when you were younger?

@@geoffccrow2333 Regarding pushups: several months back I was doing OK. I was doing 100 pushups a day. 15, 20 or 25 at a time. I got lazy and now I am just getting back into it. So I can only do 15 good ones in a row. I do weigh 230. I am not that great at it but not that bad. I plan on improving back to 100/day. I didn't do many pushups when I was younger.

I bet you’re on statins due to high cholesterol

@@LogicPhalanx Nope, no statins, no pharmaceuticals at all.

I should also add that I don't smoke, and don't drink any alcohol. I also eat hard cheeses, and various nuts, and when I eat my eggs, I also eat a half pound of cooked bacon. The only oil I consume is olive oil.

If you live a long, healthy life, you'll be an outlier. That's not my opinion. That's what studies have shown. Have you had your cholesterol checked recently? Also, why do you say that fiber intake is stupid? Fiber is known to have preventive effects against certain types of cancer, as well as other health benefits.

John Mcdougall... lol

you mean John McDougall, the 77 year old vegan Dr. that just passed away in his sleep 2 days ago?

yes absolutely please do. universities by and large do not teach nutrition. these drs have reams of evidence current and decades old.

If you cannot find what the Mediteranean diet is you are just not looking.

@@justgivemethetruth Okay trying again. If you take the time to look up the lack of enthnodiversity of what the west understands about the Mediterranean diet, and I mean by nutritionists, not doctors, or even by dietary anthropologist who spend their time reviewing the eating patterns of various cultures, you will find that there is NO one way that people in the Mediterranean, eat the same and certainly not in the last 40 years, the food drift tends to turn away from what western tend to call Mediterranean diet. I can't share the links, but look it up yourself. I am not having 15 minutes of posting erased because I gave you links to prove what I am saying. Good luck.

@@ceresmary206 Why did you delete your last comment? You are putting way to much weight on this issue in my opinion. Yeah, seems like one has to make their own decision on what the Mediteranean diet is, or just decide what information source you want to believe. I think the guidelines say how to eat, more than what to eat. Personally, I don't think there is one best way to eat, there are more lifestyle issues, and what not to eat - which is just about anything found in American supermarkets anymore - except just raw food. They say avoid red meat, but I like red meat, and when I eat it always buy or try to buy organic and very lean meat ... like 7% fat hamburger is I eat ground beef, or tenderloin beef/fillet mignon if I want steak. I just eat small portions too. I try to stay away from junk and processed foods, but sometimes I eat cookies or chips or ice cream which I always regret.

😂😂😂.lol

Yes thanks David.

You think? There is a whole, whole lot to criticize about that list.

@i.ehrenfest349 by all means, go ahead. I welcome the discussion.

Yes, and everything varied and in moderation.

Yes. I think your list is overall good. I make black bean soup and a vegetarian chili every week. I freeze it into single servings and have a bowel everyday. For meat, I usually eat turkey and deep water fish. I eat red meat about 1 serving a week. Honestly, I think the most important is to cut out processed food and cut down on sugar.

@@i.ehrenfest349 like what?

If only it stopped you inserting the word “like” into your sentences for no reason.

Where do you get your omegas?

@@CaptainColognewalnuts almonds chia seeds and flax seeds

@@robz.3225 Those are good for you. Thanks.

I have been carnivore/lion for over 16 months, and I feel amazing every day!

You said it perfectly. Everybody else are very confused.

Actually Keyes invented the Mediterranean diet but if you listen to journalists instead of nutrition scientists you wouldn't know that.

CARN4LIFE

Exactly. Lobbie groups created the US RDA not scientists.

And also, fat is fuel/energy that you didn't need when you consumed the food in the first place. It's an energy store.

@@Jungla694 Yep. But the trick is balancing caloric intake and using the stored fat as necessary energy. If energy output isn't on the table...

exactly. animals eat meat to thrive .

I'm a little over 16 months strict carnivore. CARN4LIFE

Bacon 🥓 4 ever

That is literally the most braindead thing to do.

7 months on carnivore for me. I've lost weight, haven't looked this good in 30 years. I have no knee pain anymore and all the protein has helped me gain muscle.

@@retrospiel Ah... spoken as the young and healthy who has never ever tried carnivore, and know not of which they speak. Catch up, friend! You will be glad you did. It is life changing-- are you brave enough to prove us wrong with your own experimentation?

“Listening” is hard, you failed!

Darlin how old are you? With some wisdom, you will understand that for every "expert" you will find an equal and opposite "expert" who disagrees with them. Ad nauseam.

Yeah but few of those people discussing seed oils as unhealthy have their names on 2000​ studies as Dr. Willet here does. I used to believe that myth but I think even better is just not using oil anyways. Empty calories. Only olive oil is with it for the flavor.@@helpfulcommenter

Clearly you don't know who Willett is

@@mobydog99 Willett has his name on like 2000 studies, he's the one that knows the right answer.. want you can tell he's actually a scientist because he doesn't like to say things concretely as "correct" because scientists have to accept the information as it comes and be open to it.

Sounds boring af

BAD DIET

Aloe Vera juice is very good for hydration! It’s a perfect extra instead of water only

@@helpfulcommenter Add spices and cook, and you can make a huge variety of delicious foods.

@@InMyBrz I disagree. Also, the World Health Organization says it is a very healthy diet.

Most low-carb guru's are over-weight.

You don't know much about crop farming, do you? It's devastating to the environment and native animal life. Vast areas of land are cleared to make room for mono-culture crops, which kills or displaces most of the native fauna. Pesticides and herbicides are used (and yes, in organic farming, too) which contaminates the soil, air, and water. Soil erosion silts up waterways, resulting in toxic algal blooms, and Oxygen deprivation, which kills fish and other aquatic life. I can go on, because there is a LOT more that people are oblivious to, but just this little bit of info can be too much for some people to handle. Hopefully, maybe it's enough to open some eyes to reality.

@@karenflynn6589 Shut up.

@@karenflynn6589 You don't seem to understand that the majority of crops go to fatten up animals for human consumption.

@@karenflynn6589 grazing land and cropland used for animal feed account for 80% of global agricultural land.

I grew up in the '60s, and can say the same. Those were the days when you could throw a dinner party and not have to ask whether attendees were vegan, gluten-free, vegetarian, etc. You just cooked the food, everyone ate it, end of story.

OH stop with the gluten fearmongering

The entire purpose of this interview is to help cut through the pseudo science. And here you are spreading it in the comments.

Lol. If you think that eliminating gluten is going to stop someone from 'experiencing allergies', you've lost the plot. Allergies are IgE mediated (due to the presence of antibodies which cause histamine-releasing cascades when they complement/bind with relevant antigens). No amount or lack of gluten is going to get rid of these antibodies from your body. There a plenty of reasons why some people feel better when they stop eating gluten. Placebo is probably number one, but also (as one example) cutting out significant amounts of starch as a secondary consequence probably helps many people stop overeating junk. Tying dietary changes to health outcomes definitively is *very* difficult, and 95% of the time people think they've identified some connection from personal experience, it was just coincidental timing (the other 5% are legitimate allergic reactions, not the 'sensitivities' a naturopath 'tests' you for).

Yes, we will get used it. Our taste buds give us positive feedback when we eat salt or sugars, leading us in the modern western world to overindulge in them. Cutting back on them can be done all at once or gradually. The all at once approach means that suddenly foods taste very different and so this approach is hard to sustain. The gradual approach gives our taste buds times to adjust and we get positive feedback that we're making a positive change, so this approach works better.

@@helpfulcommenter Some people react differently to substances than others. I completely suppressed my disruptive allergies and live a different life. Allergic for grass: eat no grass. The ingredient f's you up in different ways. It creates craving. The food industry uses this fact. So there is even an incentive to propagandize against a critical look at it. Money. You are naive. You are triggered, comrade.

The china study would indicate going vegan is best?

The China study skipped quite a few “blue zones”
