Understanding "Health" Foods 

I’m a big sowell fan. I watched this video just because your comment was highlighted 😂

Good questions but it doesn't absolve him from being absurdly biased in his own beliefs.

You can't say there's no superfoods because first you must define what is superfood. There's no formal scientific definition of superfood. I'd say, there are some foods that are probably unique from perspective of some measurable metrics like nutrient density (for example liver) or other effects, but are they necessary to be healthy? Probably not. Might be helpful to enhance your diet.

God damn you’re a good looking older than me woman! :)

schmo7777 hahaha shut up nerd..

No. This has been tested. Celery is very low calorie, but still provides net positive energy

Ivor is an idiot zealot who misrepresents research to suit his own bias

Hahahahahahah

Lmao. Teach a class: common sense 101

That’s where my mind went when I read PUFA. 😂

His question doesn’t make sense I’m afraid

classic majoring in the minors

that's fucking dumb, my dude. imagine cutting down with rice, chicken breast, and peanut butter as a morbidly obese fella. your health would deteriorate due to a lack of essential nutrients.

Jon Dwyer citation desperately needed

@@grimtrigg3r Do you know what vitamins and minerals are?

Jon Dwyer I do indeed sir. Just looking for a study saying your health will fall apart eating chicken, rice and pb. Interested to know more.

Fruits is gud, added fructose is nah, period 😔

Plant Based Primate well you can but you won’t be skinny you’ll be a giant fat ass. Unless you’re Michael Phelps

You can, but you must add cheese on top of it...

Just expend 10,001 calories and you're gucci.

Nathan Reed both PUFA and MUFA have been shown to have health benefits compared to saturated fats/trans fats. The issue with modern diets is that most PUFAs we consume are omega-6, and an imbalanced omega6:omega3 consumption ratio might lead to increased inflammation because omega 6 can be converted into inflammatory eicosanoids via oxidation of arachadonic acid. Obviously the biology of all of this is not as simple as this comment makes it out to be, but this is the general understanding right now. Moral of the story: PUFAs prob get a bad rep for having high levels of omega 6 compared to omega 3s, but that doesn’t mean you should necessarily avoid Omega 6 PUFAs. Instead increasing intake of omega 3 PUFAs relative to your omega 6 intake could help you achieve a healthy ratio of PUFAs.

But like Dr. Norton said, don’t just eat a ton of PUFA unless you’re replacing saturated/trans fats

@@peterzhang5458 Thanks for your input.

Shuheng Zhang too much absolute pufa intake isn’t healthy whether or not it’s o3 or o6. We need just some preferably long chain ones found in fatty animal foods. They aren’t good as an energy source and when are elevated too far in the diet can be inflammatory due to their ease of oxidation. Saturated fats and monounsaturated are both superior as fuels to be metabolized in high amounts. A good ratio with small yet adequate amounts of pufas is best. Plus the most abundant pufa sources are all rancid seed oils and nuts which have usually oxidized as well. Avoiding high pufa foods is generally good

@@Nmyers91 Citation?

William Davis is definetley onto something mate. For me its clear that wheat is horrible , but i can't help myself i binge on it :(

That's what I was thinking...

Yea... because it does 🤷🏼‍♂️

Ray peat gang😂

@@biolayne1 I think the enthusiasm on the sat fats backpedalling has been a bit overblown, as you say, and I'm not an expert by any means but from what I can read there seems be truth to that. seeing as you're a very knowledgeable guy and have no apparent bias on the subject, it would be nice to have a video where you review some of the stuff published in recent years and give us your personal opinion

Steven Turner where's da evidence?

Conservatism is a combination of pragmatism and evidence in its base. Conservatism loathes ideology.

Thomas's videos are more professional? Man, are you delusional, or what! LOL
