Eggs have been around for as long as time and heart attacks have been rising just recently.
The answer is refined sugar and refined seed oils which happen to be vegan !
Most of the world eats eggs as an ingredient, not 4 eggs on a plate at a sitting. Eggs are not a healthy food, but people love to believe good things about their bad habits. Not to discount processed foods like potato chips, becasue they are a big problem, but 4 eggs a day? Sorry, Berg is not following the science.
The main problem is sugar
@Hydroart We are not our ancestors. They were constantly on the move and fasted as a consequence. And they sure weren't eating 4 eggs everyday. We are not active, we are sedentary and think we can just eat whatever we feel like. Tell me, what was the life expectency of your ancestors? Facts are facts, there really is no disputing. You are welcome to an opinion like everyone else, but the science shows eggs to be an unhealthy choice. Whole plants are what we were made to eat. Enjoy your saturated fat laden, cholesterol filled omelette, I'm sure you are the exception.
In the olden days, egg eaters did not live long enough to get heart disease.
I'm 69. A year ago I was suffering from high BP and cholesterol was 220. Arthritis of the back and hands. Bursitis of the shoulder from a lifetime of heavy construction. I had dermatitis, prostatitis and ED. No energy and depression from having to deal with all of this. Thanks to mostly Dr Berg's advice I lost 40 lbs. Cholesterol is now 162. Triglycerides are 39. Dermatitis, ED and depression gone. Arthritis and bursitis barely noticeable. Energy through the roof. I'm back to working everyday fixing up my properties. I don't eat 4 eggs a day and after watching Dr Esselstyn and this thing about TMAO I'm on the fence about going vegan or not but I don't think we should demean Dr Berg's work because he has done a lot of good for a lot of people.
Fake testimonials. Paid by Eric Berg
@@fku9697 fake profile saying someone is a fake testimonial. Bold of you really. I'm not paid by anyone and advice from Dr. Berg and many others like him literally saved my life.
@@TylerCipriano haha 😄
Weight loss alone will help those things. Also you STILL don’t understand the difference between anecdotal and scientific evidence.
I’m glad you’re feeling better. Maybe you could try a plant based diet for a month and see how you feel?
I am not exactly a follower of Dr.Berg, but I must say I've been using at least 4 eggs/day as part of a low carb diet, and I dropped my cholesterol by 20 points, got my triglycerides down to normal, and lowered my insulin resistance by 20% in just 4 months
Many Japanese fold eat many eggs a day and they are fine
Look at the channel “what I’ve learned” on eggs
I mean sure, the Atkins diet has these effects, it's know quite a long time now.
But that doesn't mean it's a good long-term plan, since there is zero evidence for it and it's almost 50 years old now, so there should be some.
What we definitely know is that eating food meant for Embryos and Infants raises the chance of cancer.
@@Fallenangel_85 I don't know about Atkins.. If you do some phobia control, you can try sardines and greens + intermittent fasting and get results that will last..check it out!
@@cromagxx I don't want to contribute to the destruction of the ocean and accumulate poison in my body, so flax it is, instead of fish.
I'm also doing 16/8 intermittent fasting for years and eat way more greens than the average person :)
Berg is my #1 source of guidance. I lost 50 pounds and get my blood pressure to a wonderful level following his advice. I eat 4-8 eggs a day. And the whole cholesterol concern is just wrong.
So you know better than the years of scientific studies, classic faulty reasoning. Ever hear of Adkins?
@@liamlians2991 can you provide a link of the study your referring to?
@@chroetjev "the study"? All one must do is search for "Adkins scam" or "bacon causes cancer" clink the links that reference peer reviewed studies. That is a good start. But you don't want actual facts or science, if you did, you would've already read some legitimate studies on the topic.
@@liamlians2991 ah the typical, "Google it" answer and escaping a discussion on facts. What you really saying is you didn't even researched the topic yourself. You follow opinions. So exactly the same as you accuse me of doing, your doing yourself. There's a word for that....🤔
My mom too !! Her blood pressure is now 118/70 and it use to be 155/85
And cholesterol is essential as it’s used to make hormones in the body! It also is essential for a healthy brain.
This guy is just dumb. I’ve literally eaten 5 eggs in the morning every day since I was a child. I’m very healthy. They have so many essential nutrients for the body.
People think cholesterol is the reason for diseases because it’s high when you have strokes and heart attacks, but that’s only because it acts as a Band-Aid to help heal damaged tissues and other things. It’s a good way to actually tell if you will have a stroke or heart attack but it isn’t the cause.
Id like to know if all his info is based on hormone filled chickens 🤷🏼♀️
The man doesn't eat carbohydrates or sugar ever. The study you linked to doesn't even take this things into account, it only takes things such as saturated fat intake, smoking history,... Into account. Sugar mentioned zero times. Which is a bit strange seeing how it's sugar that glycates LDL and damages arthery lining therefore allowing LDL to build up inside foam cells in arteries. Dr. Berg is also recommending a keto (so sugar-free) diet and intermittent fasting, not just munching on eggs. Don't cherrypick one advice and think you've bested him.
Exactly .When Mic, the Know it all , get s Diabetes from all them "Good " Carbs, He ll be Makin Bacon. and eggs .Type II is no Joke. and Veganism is a Pathway to Various dietary problems as well ,over Time.

(Well , OK ,that s a Stretch : )
Yeah, all the epidemiology never works on the underlying mechanisms as shown in vitro and in rats. You need all levels to understand a mechanism. And unfortunately epidemiology is full of shit due to bad eating habits everywhere
He also forgot to mention about insulin resistance which is the cause of most illness.
@@albertodungca6430 which is caused by fat deposition in the cells, animal products are perfect for that. There’s studies showing high carbs even simple carbs don’t cause insulin resistance. But a high animal product diet does.
Other studies show low carb diets work in the short run to lose weight due to water retention lost and chemicals called ketones have side affects like nausea which results in lack of appetite. Our brain and body needs glucose, a lot of people who ate long term a low carb diet feel like absolute shit.
I eat as many carbs as I want, Ive gained nothing but pure muscle in the gym, beat my running record even though I rarely do cardio and feel brilliant. Yet I look around me at all the flesh eaters and see a bunch of out of shape people with stamina issues.
Adiós 👋

Oooo - someone's triggered. Little keto babies who need to get their heart health monitored. Well little snowflake, you need to go vegan. You'll save your own life and that of the animals and the planet.
Interesting how some guys want to trend criticizing others without adequate information & only picking out a line & running with it like crazy 😧..
My life changed after listening to Dr. Eric Berg. Health-wise, I felt better. Lesser doctor’s visit. No more medicines.
I daily ate pasture- raised eggs 3x a day and my cholesterol went down. With lifestyle change to low carbs and low sugar, non-gmo and organic, 100% grassfed meat. I lost 50 lbs. and looks like I’m in my teen years again. My knee pain disappeared. O well, that was my experience. As for me, I’m very grateful to him for his videos. I thank God for people like him.
I can't believe you did a video about Eric Berg and you didn't say the word insulin.
Haha that's true.
Oh yes! I'm sick and tired of insulin resistance this, insulin resistance that! He's a fraud in my opinion.
Lol. You think he's a fraud because he talks about an actual condition where your body can't absorb insulin? Are you all morons?
@@AKA_Yours_2RLY_Music Anyone who follows Berg is a moron, that's the point.
@@spgtenor Anyone who follows Sick the Vegan here is a moron. Veganism is a mental disorder.
I can't believe you did a video on a topic you know so little about! You start with a conclusion and work backwards, you give new meaning to "Logical Fallacies" and "Cognitive Dissonance" I've been a fitness professional for 3 decades and have routinely eaten 5-10 whole eggs a day, I'm 52 years old, 112 kg, 16% body fat, PSA of a 20 year old, cholesterol normal to low always, the only time it goes a little high is when I increase my carb intake significantly, I don't do any cardio, and only lift weights. Resting pulse 64 beats a minute, Blood pressure 132/78. My grandfather and Uncle died from complications related to prostate cancer. Whenever I get athletes ready for shows and their body fat % drops well into single digits, their cholesterol plummets, I have seen readings 3 times below the measurable range, and this is when the cholesterol intake is 5-10 times the "RDA" The reason this is because when your carbs are restricted your insulin will be low. Insulin is a protagonist to HMG CoA Reductase, which is critical to cholesterol production, which is how statins work, they interfere with HMG CoA Reductase activity. You have no idea what you're talking about, the studies you cite are either fallacious or fraught with inconsistencies, most are not double blind, and there are way too many variables to get any type of accurate data! I and my athletes do eat carbs, my goal is to build lean muscular athletes, and being low carb or doing intermittent fasting is not beneficial to muscle mass and maintaining an elevated metabolism, if I had people that were just trying to improving their health metric and increase longevity, I would go a similar route to Dr Berg! Wrong you are!
@blaquehart b 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for calling this idiot out!
The best comment in the whole thread.
Amen to that brother …🙏🏼
Awesome stuff. Hope to read more of your comments for the next 30 years.
So good old villagers who lived 80-90 years and ate literally a dozen eggs per day must be a miracle right?
Well there are always exceptional cases. Hell, there are people who smoke their entire lives who live well into their 90’s. But they are the exception, not the rule. Btw….not ALL of those good old villagers lived that long. Also….heart disease was a thing for those villagers as well. Heart disease goes back as far as Egyptian times. It is not just a modern disease, as one other commenter here stated.
He was/is a chiropractor? Red flag right there.
@A Girl Has No Name it's not about retirement, it's about the fact he's got a bogus degree in an unscientific field. Physiotherapists are proper scientists, but Chiro's are like homeopaths for your back. Complete quackery.
He's also a Scientologist
Dr Berg's advice is dangerous
To be fair even most medical doctors have VERY little understanding of diet/nutrition by their own admission, which is tragic but true. So Dr Berg not being an MD really does not credit or discredit him in my book. To Dr Berg credit the University of Harvard found no link between egg consumption and heart disease, a study that Mic continues to ignore although I think they only used three eggs a day not 4 to 5. Too much of anything can be dangerous clearly. But this study is very relevant because it was not funded by any activist group or food industry.
This Mic guy would say eggs are just plain toxic and so with meat. Can't listen toa guy like that.
He said he's eaten 4-5 eggs a day for 30 years. If eggs are so bad that would almost have to show up on his CAC.
He probably doesn't eat that many eggs....
@@orochimarukishimoto6509 I mean I've been eating 3 or so on average a day since I turned like 8. I just kinda loved them and I'm straight chilling still. Not seeing the issue.
Maybe he's more used to that diet than others would be and maybe it's in his genes? It's just a sample size of 1.
@@neatwheat Its not a sample size of one. Tons of people eat that many eggs everyday.
@@SeanThomasCross Allright, true. And I changed my mind about this already. "The Vegan" just complains that Dr. Berg wouldn't talk about the scientific background he derives his knowledge from. And I haven't had the time to fact check that claim 🙂
So, for all intents and purposes, I thought, maybe results in different people from a certain diet may differ and if he gives just his experience as an example, others may have different experiences.
But then again, a Vegan arguing against someone promoting to eat more protein and eggs? Surely trying to prove his point of how you would benefit from being a vegan, which is pretty dubious if you claim to be a dietarian. I mean, if it's for ethic reasons ... Ok
I should have known better from the get-go.
I was eating 3 eggs a day for 20 years before I almost died. Now I know better and a vegan for 9 years. Healthy and thriving.
I used to eat 6 eggs every day as part of a fad diet. All it did was make me smell weird.
Billy Badass When I think about the smell of eggs I literally gag
@@Emilyjadeofficial eggs are awsome!
@James Parker You are in wrong, they are awesome for health in a combination with low inflamation lifestyle. Sugar, poor sleep, bad thoughts, not moving are the real villains friend.
Keto made me stink so bad and i conquered a breath of a wolf. Those guys are insane. I doubt anyone who recommends that follows keto.
A few years ago I went to Japan to visit a friend in the Air Force. Went into a restaurant that served tofu. I walked right back out the door. The whole place smelled like raw sewage.
Working in the ER/ICU. Never had a vegan with a heart attack come in. But all the Atkins/Paleo/Keto guys (40-50years), much younger than those on a standard diet (70-80years old). Don't know why his channel is so popular. He has a very questionable backround deep in Scientology. And telling mothers to put cod liver oil into their babies is just sick😢. Please make a debunking vid on Dr. Boz. She is even worse.
Telling people what they want to hear confirms their biases and that gets millions of subscriptions. All one has to do is lie a little bit after determining the biases in most individuals who are susceptible to manipulation. All it takes is lack of ethics and with a little luck, one can be a multi-millionaire with the help of TH-cam.
My main takeaway, though, is that the media is a very powerful manipulator in many areas. I've tried to control what media I follow more carefully now.
Cod liver oil 🤢🤢 the sound of that alone makes me want to gag. Ick!!!
Correlation doesn’t mean causation. You have no idea about the fat vs sugar debate.
Spoiler: sugar is the problem
Spoiler: you have no idea what you're talking about. There is no debate. sugar vs fat makes no sense as a debate... But insulin resistance is caused by lipid accumulation in muscle tissue blocking receptors hence leading to high blood glucose.....
@@goku445 he's a dumbass
@ESparda A.K.A.悪魔の死神 Don't get angry cult follower.
This makes me think of my sister and her health issues right now. She eats 4 eggs a day and now has blockages in veins and told me she thought she should reduce her fat intake. I tried to warn her when she went on her protein OD kick but I knew she wasn't gonna listen. Made me really glad I'm vegan now after a tough first year of it, it really help me know it was the best choice for me after seeing that go down.
Vegans need dietary guidelines!
Vegans do much better health wise and are usually better informed about nutrition.
@@goku445 yeah but a lot of people screw it up and give up on it
@@kevinishki well they were not vegans to begin with then. Real vegans never go back. It is an ethical thing. Once you get it, you can't support the death and suffering industries anymore.
@@goku445 there are more types of vegans than just ethical vegans. It's that attitude that turns off a lot of people from being vegan. Doesn't change the fact that vegans would be healthier if we had guidance. Closest thing we have is Dr Gregor's daily dozen. It doesn't really make figuring out which nutrients are harder to get as a vegan easy
@@kevinishki It's Dr Greger not Gregor. Vegans are ethical. The others are plant based.
There is no attitude and if one person's attitude is blocking someone from being vegan it means they didn't understand sh!t. So there is no argument here.
Dietary Guidance? There are tons of channels on youtube giving simple good information including this one.
It is really simple: eat a whole food plant based diet and supplement yourself with B12, period.
If you want to improve, yes check nutritionfacts dot org, get some vitamin D and omega3 EPA DHA supplements. Check your vitamin intakes on cronometer dot com, improve your nutrition per calorie with Dr Furhman, etc, etc.
I don't see anyone going to ER for protein deficiency..🤔🤭
i do
wim lammens you should get that checked then.
Structurally, almost everything in your body is made up of Protein / Fat, not Carbohydrate. Protein is critical to many enzymatic functions in the body. Bone is made of mostly Protein (Collagen) and Minerals. If you are protein Deficient, your bones will be weak and compromised. If your Digestion is compromised, you cannot absorb Vitamins and Minerals from food effectively, requiring your body to break down bone and take minerals from it to maintain Metabolic functions. Overtime, the body degrades. It doesn't happen over night.
Bodily tissue is made of Protein and Fat. Many people are rushed to the hospital for Protein deficiency - we've just never called it that.

@@JohnGrove310 I eat a I've seen people commenting that they eat 3 eggs a day from their own chickens and doctors want to know their secret why they are so healthy. Just research where your eggs come from and what the chickens have been fed.
@John Grove and your still sick? Huh? What else do you eat?
Dr Berg's advice can be dangerous don't listen to everything he says
The "consensus" is usually what the corporate establishment wants you to believe. They pay authoritative sounding research organizations to issue the results they want. So if Dr. Berg goes against the "consensus", that is not proof he is wrong, in fact, it may add to his credibility.
the most stupid comment that I've seen. this is seriously like a zoolander when he visited mugatu in jail scene.
I'm 29 years old and for what it's worth, I spent most of my life exercising (high endurance, high intensity, resistance training with and without weights, circuits, walking everywhere, exercising at least every day), fasting (intermittent and prolonged, including intense exercise, 0 calories, just black coffee and water), eating clean non processed foods (heavy in animal protein and some fat, but good sources, chicken, eggs, liver, yoghurt and my plant foods have been potatoes, broccoli, blueberries and oatmeal), taking supplements, no commitments, workin part time, lots of stress management and recently I've started having pain and pressure in the left side of my chest, that hasn't gone away, no matter what I've tried, but then recently I came across a video series by a youtuber called Plant Chompers who used to be an Earth scientist, showing a compilation of all these health influencers who were either low carb animal based dieters or plant based dieters, and the majority of those animal based dieters died on average well within their 70s whereas the plant based dieters were living into their 90s and 100s, which compelled me to try vegan and lo and behold, after a 2 day fast and refeeding on legumes, grains and nuts, my symptoms have dramatically decreased, in just 4 days total, and I can only feel a little pressure in my chest from time to time, so out of curiosity, I decided to eat one small piece of lamb liver and one egg, very nutritious animal foods, boiled in a pan of water, the pressure and discomfort in my chest came back and didn't subside until after 2 days of going without. If that doesn't say enough, I don't know what does.
I saw the same video a couple of days ago and it convinced me to try veganism as well!
I rather live to 70/80 living like a normal human being and enjoying life than live to 100 living like a rabbit not being able to eat nourishing food.
@@ItaloBarbiero Understood, I don't encourage that at all, but having given this vegan diet 3 weeks so far without any animal products and feeling in some ways better, maybe a little less energy, whilst being able to exercise and fast vigorously (barbell circuits and short intense runs with lots of walking every day and a 36 hour fast on the weekend with an hour run followed by HIIT sprints and recovering completely off vegan foods), whilst holding down a physically active job and considering the possibility I'm not too different from anyone else, I would say that we could probably at least do with a lot less meat on our plate. I will admit, considering my energy levels yesterday at work, I am considering trying some chicken, but the job is very physically active and is an evening shift. Although I would say the meal and prep and washing up requires the coordination of an emergency plane landing, my bastard lentils are boiling over as we speak lol. I do intend to continue to work out how I can go vegan for longer, should I fail.
@@ItaloBarbiero word of warning brother, it's not just about living up to an age, it's all the shit that happens before that too, I've had first hand experience working with end of life elderly residents and it isn't pretty

😂😂
Just because he states his own research on a white board doesn‘t mean he is wrong. If you deny information, just because it is simplified, you are a fucking moron. Do your research if you have doubts.
I eat 4 5 eggs a day, have a very active life. Went for A cac. Doctor said that I have amazing health fit and healthy as i feel and test prove it so. I've been eating eggs all my dam life. And also berg has shown us his results. And they are prefect. Most people don't have a strict healthy life style. And eat all the sht that comes through there face that's the real problem. Also I put to practice hos techniques and advices for gut health and bam baxk to health baby!
There are People who smoke cigarettes 12 times a day and don't get can cer guess its good for kids
What is your age ? Sure you are fit and healthy now . I have never seen anyone with such a diet that hasn’t suffered at some point . I take care of all those who once were in your shoes. Facts are facts . You are not immune from the effects of a high cholesterol diet . It will catch up with you ! So what did your doc do to check the blockages you have no clue you have . Trust me if you are eating 5 eggs a day you do . You can have outstanding physical exam have great blood pressure etc all that a doctor does in the office and tell you you are healthy and fit and suffer a heart attack or stroke .that includes labs and lipid panel . All normal and still be a ticking time bomb
@@BluestSkypsl im 31 fit, i do hard work. Tree work climb trees, work out my weight is 160. I eat twice a day, eggs pasture raise organic and lots of veggies, only eat rice. Drink coffee in the morning. I just follow though doctor bergs advice and get checked with my physician. Also remember that facts are facts but facts change. Facts and truth is a very different thing. Facts are not certainty and can change upon through studies. Observational studies are not 100% truthfull because people lie and can't be watch one hundred percent of the time. What If certain is the diet that each of us do and choice to have for our own. So far so good for me. High veggie moderate protien high healthy fats is what's works for me. You can base your belief in facts I rather take the risk and seek the truth. But that's just me.

Why does Berg look more healthy than you Mick the Vegan? He is almost 60 years old..
If you can see heart attack just by looking at someone, there wouldn't need to be cardiologists.
@@bananian Exactly.
You think he does? Maybe you should get your eyes checked.
He looks yellow, maybe he has anemia
Because Mike is nutritionally challenged.
Is strange how all the egg lovers are completely omitting the environmental damages it causes? Even if eggs were good for you, we can survive absolutely perfectly without them, if everyone has organic chickens they’d be no room left for wildlife, if everyone had caged eggs… well we know it’s unbelievably cruel. Eating animal products is extremely inefficient way of getting nutrients, especially with 8 billion people on the planet
Yet it's efficient in getting B12. Btw., did you ask all the egg lovers? Or how do you know?
This guy is using the same methods Berg used to criticize him! He mentions a study which claims eating only half an egg a day increases your mortality rate. I eat 4 or 5 eggs a week and I am sure I am much healthier than most of my overweight colleagues. It all depends on who are the participants in the study and what other measures they took into account. Overall, don’t listen to any of these guys. Find your own right diet which matches your body weight, the calories you burn, your work out, your age and your annual lab work results.
I tried vegetsrian keto died. Absolutely amazing. High energy, shreded body, clear mind. Don't care about Berg but you should try it!
What did you eat for fats ?
@@tonytheking6737 for fat, a lot of olive oil, avocado, cream, cheese, dark chocolate (85% or more), lot of nuts, also seeds. And lots of vegetables. I did it to lose fat after mass building in gym and worked great. But I wouldn't do it in the long term. Max 2-3 month.
Making fun of someone like bullie doesn't make of you an expert.
Making fun?? Huh?
I hear what you’re saying but DR. Berg also talks about eating at least 7 to 10 cups of cruciferous veggies a day. That’s the key to being successful on keto. I don’t agree with the eggs because I am vegan. But I did low carb and no sugar, fasted and added the vitamins and veggies and It was the best body transformation I ever had. I think everyone has their pros and cons. As far as his credentials? I searched Google, and it does say he is a licensed physician.
Can you please tell me your diet?? I am in a very confused state right now. Please

Hmm. Obviously you need to say he’s wrong.
Humans have eaten eggs for thousands of years. It’s a totally natural food that humans can eat (and should eat) without any issues.
You are forgetting the moral and ethical parts of eating animal products.
"Humans have eaten eggs for thousands of years." - that's not relevant at all. In agricultural revolution the wheat-based diet made us all much sicker than when we ate what we foraged and hunted, and we also eat it for thousands of years. Humans can chug coca-cola for the next 10 thousand years and prosper just fine - it doesn't make the coca-cola healthy.

They're not facts. They're meaningless uncontrolled questionaire studies. There is nothing in record confirming anything relative to eggs and being bad for your health.
The only thing keeping me from eating 3 dozen eggs a week is the current cost. Dr Berg passes along great info. Keep up the good work Dr Berg. It’s great to see these quakes bust a blood vessel over what you recommend.
There are numerous videos fact checking him that show he frequently has no idea what he’s talking about. Be leery of anyone selling products based on their advice.
@@Cujobob Videos like this one from a butthurt vegan with no degree 8n anything?
Dr. Berg is a lifesaver.
@@ItaloBarbiero Please be leery of trusting anyone selling a product or service.
@@Cujobob I tried most of the advice Dr.Berg gives. It literally saved my life while the traditional doctors kept me sick and getting worse every year. And this guy in the video is just a butthurt vegan with a degree in bs. Be leery of someone that charges you a fortune to keep you coming back and pay again and again.
After I went Vegan 🌱 and being a former Chef, and T2D, my mobility improved very quickly. My chest felt much lighter, I continue to workout, and I sleep great and wake up feeling rested. Breathing is much better too, and I wasn’t in bad shape, I just wanted to optimize my health.
Thank you for compensating my non-veg-diet regarding global climate. Appreciate it.
Most people say this at the beginning and then tend to have deficiencies later on. I’m not saying this to cause problems. But, I’d be curious to know whether your better health holds in the long term. Usually it’s the lack of processed food that makes them
Feel better but the missing nutrients from other sources that compounds over time and leaves the body worse after a while. I’d hope that your health on your diet is always great, but i’ve often heard and seen this happen.
@@CG_Lord Exactly my experience...
You'd see similar benefits if you simply did a lot of fasting (not eating for prolonged periods of time). The vegan diet mimicks fasting really well.
Meat can be bad for you if you also consume many carbs and other sugar foods and always spiking the insulin. It's not really the meat.
This channel shut be shut down for deadly misinformation
I told my new young doctor when I had a physical that I eat sooo many eggs. He said oh hoho.! Started talking about cholesterol meds before it was even over. When my test results came in everything was balanced fine. I eat a lot of eggs and I laid off the sugar and cut my gluten intake to almost zero because of the inflamtion.
Yeah, same!!
Also, my lungs are fine and I smoke 40 a day, haahahaha anecdotal evidence is soo reliable.
Eggs are great for you. I eat them every day and my energy, skin etc have never been better
That's what they teach us in med school! So many things don't seem scientific In med school.. for some reason! And some doctors are misguided when it comes to cholesterol. Even some high level cardiologist are cholesterol denialist. That' crazyA
@@zeorreign4854 well if research matter to you you wouldn’t be a vegan. And if real science and truth mattered to you you wouldn’t only stick to vegan-based propaganda blogs. You realize of course your Bible the China study was found to be a FRAUD and Colin Campbell literally REVERSED the findings that showed that people who ate meat actually lived in LONGER and had lower cases of heart disease. Oh wait they didn’t tell you that on your vegan blog? Big shocker
@@i-primeproductions1517 I would be delighted to see your sources for a credible refutation of The China Study.

Probably not changing her views because it works for her, as it does for millions of people.
@Skinny, young and attractive 🤔 Like I said, doesn’t work for everyone. Works wonders for me though- never felt healthier in my life.
Real keto is cooked all from scratch like Dr Berg does . Not from store processed mastery items which will destroy organs.

Pro athletes and college athletes may typically consume 4+ eggs per day; it is designed to assist in building muscle during training. Weight lifting - same. Getting your body 'cut' - same. No longer a pro player or needing to build muscle? Then stop the high consumption of eggs. I've been around this behavior for about 40 years on and off - hasn't changed. Don't need any research, cuz I can look around and see the behavior followed by the desired results on many different individuals. Dr. Eric does speak some truth, always with a grain of salt.
Testesteron comes with cholesterol. I am guessing tats why he is saying things like "cholesterol helps muscle"
Even before keto, I was eating a shit ton of eggs a week, like 20+ years. Sure my total cholesterol is elevated, but my tri's are low and hdl is normal. Even better than when I was doing plant based. I have had two echo cardiogram in the last 6 years and neither show even a slight amount of heart disease or plaque. Also had CAC test last year. Calcium# was 11.

They also consume high amounts of healthy carbs like legumes and other wholefoods.

News just in, regardless of what you eat, you will die! "memento mori"
I do follow Dr. Berg. I don't eat 5 eggs per day. I rarely eat meat. I eat mostly vegetables and cheese. I have been losing a very healthy 1 lb per week since I started. I have lost 2 dress sizes in 6 months. I can't eat gluten, and grains anger my intestines. I can't touch sugars.. including alcohol. This is the story of My Body. Everybody is different, I think. We need to find what is right for our personal needs. Vegan diet caused me to have severe B12 deficiency.. I had to inject myself in the hip 3x per week after being vegan for 2 years. I find it reasonable to keep in mind our individual needs. Thanks for the video!
Also DR Berg has a soothing voice that calms the Adrenals
His White Board summarizes things nicely
How hard is it to take a B12 Supplement?

Just one word..."Poultry Periods". Suck em up, plebbies!
Mic! You’ve done it again my man. I’m so embarrassed to admit this, but I was a dr. Berg follower last year. Against my gut intuition I took the steep dive into keto-ism. I had a lot of success with more of a Whole Foods plant based diet approach in the past and felt uneasy about keto. But I was having blood sugar issues so I hopped aboard the crazy train because there were 3 people in my family recommending him and 1 of my friends.
While doing keto I was able to lower my A1C out of the prediabetic range, however, my c reactive protein was so high (12!) that my naturopath was at a loss for words.
Not only that, but it completely threw off my entire cycle and hormones. I am currently still trying to figure out if I have PCOS or endometriosis one year later. all of these symptoms that began AFTER doing dr. Berg’s version of keto.
Keto diet is killing people!
@@annacosta2939 no it's not. You need to investigate before making assumptions
Glad to find someone else who'se been through the same as me. I was following Dr Berg for a long time, now i see things more clearly.
don't eat fat and carbs together in the same meal because they stick to each other forming (triglycerides?) , you can eat a healthy high carb meal like rice and black bean and the day after something carb free and high fat. it's the combo of them that fucks you up

To me too Dr. Berg is great 👍
Me too!!!
You guys are fools for believing this fake Dr and taking his "medical" advice. If you were to do more research, you would know that is not what he eats and is primarily vegan and does not eat eggs or these processed meats
With his wrong information? Telling ppl to kill animals and helping them to end up in the ICU/ER? That is were I work. Never had a vegan with a heart attack. But Atkins and Paleo and Keto guys, even younger than those on a standard diet. It is insane how ppl like him while he keeps telling them what they want to hear. He is making money like crazy with his false info.
meat and organ meats are far more nutritionally dense then vegetables, and far more bio-available. This is why vegans health deteriorates over time (usage of your already existing fat soluble stores on a vegan diet) compared to people to thrive on meat.
I love beef/calf liver and chicken hearts..organ meats...I consume organ meats 3 to 4 times a week. Also consume 5 pasture-raised eggs/day for over two years, since I started my ketogenic lifestyle and OMAD IF. Lost over 90 pounds and reversed my insulin resistance and its related degenerative conditions.
If you go back to the beginning of Eric and his videos, he did lots and lots of charts of what vegetables do and how good they are for you and then the last couple years. He completely changed to a different kind of person. It was very strange. I was a meat eater for 43 years of my life and watching some of Eric’s videos in the beginning about vegetables really helped me. I have been vegan for 10 years now and I’m 53 years old. No health issues tons of energy and no medication.
Because all the super foods are in meat department.
keto diet became more profitable to push
Money talks
When I was 360 i started a traditional bodybuilder diet and lost about 2 pounds a week. Part of that was a 3-5 boiled egg breakfast. Despite getting to under 330 I started having real bad chest pains at work.
I would be filled with constant dread. Fortunately I found the work of Esselstyn, Ornish, and Barnard. I switched over to full vegan and lost at the same rate, but in less than 2 weeks my angina and high blood sugar were gone.
Fell off the wagon for almost 6 months following a hernia surgery. Been a struggle to get back on. The diet is inching down again from 320. I have a struggle with binging. I have to avoid gas stations and driving past certain buffets. Sounds dramatic but you're talking to someone who can eat lunch and still be very tempted to go to a chinese buffet right after. Some atrocious eating habits that were developed since childhood.
How's everything going?
You should honestly not look outside yourself for answers, you might find things beyond yourself as truthful, but it is you who sees them as such.
Best of luck
I was 360lbs as well and had a crappy high carb diet. Discovered Dr. Berg in April2021 and lost 103lbs - and all my bloodwork and vitals look perfect for a man in his early 40s - I'm sixty-three!
Fell off the Keto wagon for a bit and some (not all) of the weight came back. I'm mentally preparing for another go at it. Going into my life's fourth quarter its hard to change habits and taste preferences developed over the previous three quarters of my life, but when I'm on keto (combined with I.F., exercise and some supplementation) I feel like I'm in my early forties again - mid thirties if I get a good nite sleep!
Everyone's a little different. Ultimately the best diet is one that works for you. I wish you good health.

14:00 is an important point well said! Shawn baker bragged about having a zero CAC. He could be full of soft plaques- exactly right those are what causes heart attacks. And soft plaques rapidly become calcified after mid 50’s. You should have dr Kahn do a short video on that.
The study shown at 3:15 has many misrepresented facts. See my public comment for a break down. Shawn Baker probably won't have hardened arteries, or osteoporosis, because he's getting plenty of Vitamin K2. Unfortunately, this is another nutrient that is absent in a Vegan diet. It's also found in Eggs. Studies below.

Too many lifestyle variables for those egg studies to be fully credible. The obvious problem is that people who tend to consume a lot of eggs also tend to eat terribly as well. Think the American breakfast diet. Adding eggs to my diet (no processed foods, no refined sugars, high amounts of organic plants, mainly pescatarian diet) raises testosterone significantly. In fact I went to the doctor and got my normal blood check up and he told me I need more cholesterol in my diet and aside from that my blood levels were great. Quail eggs are great for you too. I was full vegan for a while but have found eggs are beneficial to a human diet (when sourced properly)
8:15 Actually, a high-octane gasoline (say, premium) requires a higher compression/temperature to ignite/detonate (i.e., to explode inside a closed cylinder). That's why they're used in high-performance engines with higher compression ratios.

First off dr berg talks about Eating Whole Foods, organic non processed food, 7-10 cups of veggies a day. There has been thousands of studies showing the ketogenic diet is one of the healthiest diets out there and he does cite and show facts on his videos. Millions of people have fixed their health using his advice When Doing keto correctly as in not just living on bacon and eggs and eating all the recommended veggies and healthy fats. Eggs and fats only get dangerous when you are consuming them with refined carbs. And your stat about 48% protein a day from eggs wouldn’t be accurate because a ketogenic diet is 75% fat, 20% protein and 5% carbs, so what you are referring to is not the ketogenic diet. I would suggest you go back to the nearest hipster pup you came from and get your facts strait before making a debunk video. Refined carbs are horrible. Eat good healthy fats avocados, bacon eggs and avoid sugar at all cost, get your carbs from salads and veggies and you will live a long healthy life. Intermittent fast also people. Don’t listen to this guy. I have seen healthy people remain healthy, diabetics cured, and hypertension cured in weeks from the ketogenic diet. Also back to the egg thing, he also says to buy free range farm raised organic eggs. Not the junk. Whole Foods people. It’s really not that hard.
Keto was rated as the worst diet. "thousands of studies" are only in favor of Mediterranean diet
The Mediterranean diet is a good diet when done right and eating Whole Foods. Like I said most people who do keto don’t do it correctly. They live on cheese and meat and forget they need massive amounts of veggies. There is a healthy keto and unhealthy keto. Just like there is a healthy Mediterranean and unhealthy Mediterranean (living on breads). With that said I haven’t seen a single article saying keto is unhealthy, I have seen overwhelming evidence of its healing and bettering of health. The only negative thing I have see is “it’s hard to maintain” which is absolutely correct, it is hard to maintain and takes a lot of will power. But when paired with intermittent fasting it’s easier. I think also with all of this everyone’s body is different. Some will respond to different diets differently. I think one thing we can all agree on is.
1. Sugar is bad
2. Refined carbs are bad
3. Eating more than 3 meals a day and snacking is bad
4. Must get exercise
Eric Bergs Mercedes must smell like egg farts.

Love Dr. Berg. I don't believe everything he says but I have a good direction going because of him.
I lost 80 pounds doing a heroine only diet. doesn't mean its f*xking healthy or sustainable, you absolute donkey.

Only paid reviews there.

His info is AMAZING but at this point I'm expecting a koolaid suggestion being slipped into one of his helpful vids.

@@rickhinojosa5455 Thanks, you're ok.
When I was keto to lose weight, I ate like 4-8 eggs most days, it was an easy protein source ... my doctor looked at my blood work and asked "dont you eat any meat? your cholesterol is extremely low, i've never seen this before"... guy was just about to retire a few months later. After I went off keto, because of life stress and general upheaval, I got so sick ... still feel like shit and trying to get off all the damn grains and sugars ...
"Damn grains" what? Did you not see the studies cited in this video?
maybe you should try a whole foods plant based vegan diet
eggs are bio available. whole grains will destroy your digestive tract or at least it does mine
Did the vegan thing for a couple of years, lost too much weight so threw in the towel.
Stop bashing Dr Berg, dude is good people.
Hey all! I’m a former patient of Dr. Berg! I went to his clinic around 2012 because I have had alopecia since I was ten years old. Much of his advice had to do with serious stress management therapies and eating SO MUCH MEAT/EGGS/FATS. I wasn’t vegan or even vegetarian at the time but even then I felt like it didn’t feel good in my body. I have to say, my hair did grow back following his protocol but I think that had more to do with the stress management and reducing inflammation by just eating a more “clean” unprocessed diet in general.
It’s hard for me to think of him as an evil guy with evil intentions. All I can say is that at the time when I knew him he seemed to entirely believe what he was saying. He also was extremely attentive and had great bedside manner. The fact that it’s not backed by science? Well, not too surprising. I always take chiropractors with a grain of salt.... but I take MDs with a grain of salt these days too.
He seems to have picked up arms in this battle on the side of the meat eaters and knowing how he views diet and “fuel burning” I’m not surprised. People get stuck on ideas. We’re all guilty of that at one time or another. Challenging what we’ve thought we knew to be true is hard! But I dunno what I’m saying here. I appreciate guys like Mic who can give us some science to help us see truths and make our own choices. If Dr. Berg is the man I thought he was I can only hope he’ll watch this video and learn something!
Thanks Mic 🙏🏽
That’s fair enough. In my limited experience in my area where I live there are plenty of qualified professionals who also often ignore science especially if it challenges what they think they know to be true. #ijs 🤷🏽♀️ we all do it at some point. However, if you’re watching Mic’s videos then you’re likely not one of those kind of MDs, my friend. Which is encouraging for sure.
Just Jeanne You had alopecia since 10 years of age and after going on meat based diet it got away? And u saying it was just stress management, wow what ignorance. Try to heal that on plants.
Deee Bee did you read my entire comment lol! I said I’m sure it had to do with simply coming off of processed foods. This is something Mic has said before in his videos as well. Sometimes people feel better or improve their health simply by coming off of processed foods when trying fad diets. This was the. VERY BEGINNING of a long journey discovering how diet affected an autoimmune disorder and yes plants are my medicine now. Which is why I’m here watching these videos. Please don’t call me ignorant. Let’s maintain some respect in the comments people. I just wanted to share that I actually knew the man. And hopefully Mic can educate him to like he has educated me.
@@musoka03 Sorry man got little heated up. Are you on plant based diet right now and alocepia is still at bay? Also how long have you been on plant based diet and how long you were on that animal based diet?
Deee Bee no worries! Thanks for asking! My alopecia has been at bay since 2012 with no other serious issues. I was entirely bald since ten and then after learning about cutting out processed foods it’s been growing constantly ever since with no issues. I grew up in Louisiana eating meat, gumbo, fried chicken... even our vegetable dishes have meat, oil, lard, butter, cheese on everything! I only started learning about plant based about a year ago and have been making the transition slowly. It’s been hard because I end up with a lot of stomach issues so it’s been kind of trial and error. Plant based has been by far the one way of eating that helps the most with inflammation and inflammation has seemed to have been the cause of most of my autoimmune problems. So, dr berg at the very least led me to a healthier state than I had been in, even if still not the healthiest. Mic’s videos have educated me more on my autoimmune issues and plant based eating than any doctor (or chiropractor, lol) I’ve had over the years. I just keep watching and learning keep pushing forward!
I’ve been following Dr. Berg for a while. This gives me a lot of food for thought on at least some of his claims. Your arguments are very well researched, and now that you mention it, that is something Dr.Berg could afford to do more of: citing. Thanks for sharing.
To be clear, I still agree with much of what he has to say. He primarily advocates for intermittent fasting and a low-carb/ketogenic approach. He promotes leafy greens and healthy supplements like MCT oil, wheat grass powder (for green smoothies), etc. Nonetheless, I will be sure to fact check his specific recommendations from here-on-in.
I really appreciate your respectful and fact-based approach.
low carb? lmaooo if thats what maturity leads you towards, then I wish you luck
carbs are the fuel source for humans, you know that right?
suchalad242434 Actually you can train your body to run on ketones.
@@PeteS_1994 Yeah you can train to do heaps of things, but you don't need to train for the love of plants, sugar, sex etc
He sells those supplements. Lol. He's a scientologist too. So beware of purchasing his supplements if you don't want to fund scientology church. A large chunk goes there
Why do you still agree with it exactly? You saw the research Mike linked right? Low carb is terrible for all cause mortality and a number of diseases including cancer.
This is another cherry picking excursion by mic. I just looked up Harvard health to see what they say about eggs. That sounds a little more trustworthy than studies compiled by mic the vegan.
"A. From what we know today, here's the bottom line: for most people, an egg a day does not increase your risk of a heart attack, a stroke, or any other type of cardiovascular disease. No more than three eggs per week is wise if you have diabetes, are at high risk for heart disease from other causes (such as smoking), or already have heart disease."
Another clue here is that the centenarians of the Loma Linda Seventh Day Adventists, the largest single group of centenarians in the world, eat about 5 percent eggs in their diet, along with 10 percent dairy. Amazing they could survive it all and still be the longest lived group of people in the world, they must have amazing genes.
Actually, as far as Dr. Berg goes, I think he has the safest keto plan of the bunch. He recommends 5 cups of vegetables per day. I'm not saying it's a diet I would choose, but I hope keto dieters listen to him rather than the actual medical doctor who prescribes a carnivore diet. The point is, people lose weight on his diet, and bmi is still the best predictor of overall health barring weight lost from sickness. Is he going to die of a heart attack. No, he isn't mic. He's fifty, bmi normal and probably getting the necessary nutrients. He would say if he had high blood pressure, which is a pretty safe measure. He also looks really good for being in his fifties.
No he does not. He looks very old for his age. Skinny and wrinkled. He's aged pretty bad after jumping on keto bandwagon
@@fku9697 Well, the main point here is that mic's statistics are cherry picked. I cited a public health body which gave their opinion after studying all the studies. Yeah, he's high compared to the one egg per day which doesn't affect heart disease, but it's hard to say what the effect of that will be. The SSA Loma Lindans eat 5 percent eggs which would be close to 2 eggs per day on a 2500 calorie diet and they are the longest lived group of people in the world and have the highest number of centenarians. We should all look for other sources and do our own research. I think he looks fine for his age, but I wouldn't eat that diet because I believe whole grains and beans are important to our diets and it's an expensive solution just to lose weight, because most people on that diet are doing it to lose weight. It's better than being obese, and if that's the best they can do, then it will be a benefit to them, but I don't believe for a minute it will increase their lifespan compared to someone eating a truly balanced, whole food diet.

There are no meaningful studies that suggest cholesterol is bad for you. Especially uncontrolled questionaire surveys that you're listing about cholesterol. Your body already makes as much as 3000 mg of cholesterol a day, and because our bodies are so amazing and adaptive, when you consume healthy sources of dietary cholesterol, your body produces less of it to achieve homeostasis, while giving your liver a break. Stop spreading misinformation that dietary cholesterol is bad for your. Generalization isn't healthy. I eat 8 eggs on an almost daily basis, and that is completely normal and healthy. Also whole grains can contribute to heart disease if we use your notion of generalization, we can say since most human beings consume to many grains, and most of them in today's world are highly processed, he is correct, grains, carbs, refined foods are the biggest cause of heart disease since insulin resistance is responsible for the vast majority of disease. That also goes for high blood pressure, not dietary cholesterol or salt. And I wont bother citing studies until I see actual meaning research that these foods are bad for your health. On top of that, pasture- raised organic eggs have a far higher omega 3 fatty acid content then commercially produced eggs, which in turn regulates causation for chronic disease.
If cholesterol is so bad why does the body naturally produce a ton of it a day
Because Mic is an idiot
This video made me unsubscribe to your channel, good job !
Hey Mic, you didn't watch Eric's video till the very end. The video ends with "this video proudly sponsored by the Egg Board"
No really?!
@@BuffTaanJai99 just kidding
Lmao good one
You must be very funny
I eat 5 eggs daily, been doing it for ten years. My cholesterol levels are excellent. Don't know what this guy is talking about. Dr. Berg is spot on.
Well I had been eating eggs boiled per last year from some 70 to 100 per week. Okay for last couple months I have gone down to some 40 or 50 eggs per week and my total cholesterol levels are nearly as good as it can be. To be fair I move around alot,excersise alot,so maybe that is why total cholesterol is good. But so far it seems that is BS myth if you eat alot of egg yolks gonna have bad cholesterol levels. I can actualy argue it is the very opposite,eating alot of eggs with yolks are beneficial for maintaining optimal cholesterol levels, just from my experience.
I started talking Bergs advice and gotta admit...eating animal protein+vegetables actually cured my hunger and made me able to have a better fasting period.
I was vegan for a while and raw vegan aswell but these diets couldnt fullfill my hunger. I was craving sweets really hard even if I ate a big volume meal of vegetables.
Discussing
unfortunately you see long term effects… in the long term… this is what often people don’t get..
after 2 moth I went back to my raw vegan diet..animal protein takes too long to digest and makes me weak
that might be ok for someone but for me it isnt
I wanna feel the power and not sleep after my meals
Mic I love you. I love your content, but please learn to say “versus” properly. It’s not your fault. I hear it often these days. It’s distracting. Much love and respect from a much older vegan. 💚
I wish I knew how to pronounce “versus” correctly.
I've been eating 10 a day for the past 10 years.. It's a super food stop the misinformation..
It's okay your trying to get views on someone else's back.. You are vegan eggs are certainly not for you so why make a video about it.. A Muslim won't make a tasting video of alcohol or pork.. Each his own
Berg is a scientologist... that explains everything lol 😳😁
I see vegan eyes. Congrats, you’re a vegan.
Vegan eyes???
Maybe it's just the lighting, but he looks yellow.
it is not the lightning he's probably nutritionally deficient. he should watch some videos of this guy called dr berg to find out what is wrong with him.
@@thoppenreijs Berg is not a doctor
Berg is a doctor. He holds the title of a doctor, and is therefore a doctor. Doctor of what? Well, you'd need to ask to get the details, but that doesn't mean he's not a doctor 🤣
As a vegetarian, I had no idea about the atrocities that happen in the egg industry, and I was trying to get my eggs cage-free or free range, which honestly isn't much better than caged hens. I've also recently learned that egg companies are not allowed to make any health claims about their eggs which is funny considering Dr. Berg thinks they are the healthiest food.
Get vital farms or look for pasture raised. If your yolk is golden colored instead of yellow then you know they take better care of the birds.
There are pasture raised hens and eggs. These chickens have better lives than any bird in the wild. Wild birds typically die by having a coyote etc rip them apart - alive.
I'm not being cruel , but factual.
Please have more concern for your own health than that of a chicken. If you've ever looked into the eyes of a dumb automaton, it's a chicken. They do not share our emotions struggles and intelligence.
Morality applies to your fellow humans, not animals which forcibly rape, eat and dominate each other.
Szilard Szabo bird brain !
your body creates cholesterol. also, i think he's talking about specifically the keto diet, which actually lowers cholesterol.
i tried the keto diet he talked about, (didn't eat as many eggs, but) i went down in weight, and my cholesterol went down. (mostly ate meat, nuts and veggies)
You will never see these people having any nuance about circumstance, but just quoting general inconclusive studies or straight up epidemiological studies. They don't care about truth, just about selling you the vegan pill.
As a recent Eric Berg fan I've been going through some of these "Berg debunked" videos. And honestly this is the only one I've seen so far that seems decently respectful. I like that he acknowledges in the beginning he doesn't think Berg is bad. Just wrong.
I hope you realized berg is completely full of bs… :) i mean this comment was a year ago did you try changing?
my brother's father and all 5 of his brothers died from massive heart attacks before they were 40 years old because their bodies make excessive cholesterol - my brother has been a case study at stanford since the 70's - so the understanding of cholesterol is nothing new - i can't believe this guy is an actual m.d. ..
He's a chiropractor, not an M.D.
Defrocked chiro
Diatery cholesterol is not the sme thing as blood levels
Eats an egg and lay on couch.
Oooor go to a blue collar job and gym.
No cookie cutter answers.
Eric Berg is the picture of health.
Yeah, most people like him because he’s not a medical doctor. He has integrity.
