Dr. Zoë Harcombe - 'What about fiber?'
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 พ.ค. 2024
- Zoë Harcombe was the first pupil from her school to graduate from Cambridge University. While studying maths and economics at this historic institution, Zoë set out to answer the million dollar question - "Why do you overeat? When all you want is to be slim?" This became the title of Zoë's first book - published in 2004.
"Stop Counting Calories & Start Losing Weight" followed in 2008, with an accompanying recipe book and "The Obesity Epidemic: What caused it? How can we stop it?" which was published in October 2010. "The Harcombe Diet for Men" (2011) gave men the super quick read they were after and then two more books were published in 2013 - a collaboration with Hodder & Stoughton: "The 3-Step Plan" and a completely revised "Why do you overeat?"
Zoë has a PhD in public health nutrition. She struggles to find anything that is being taught in 'conventional' nutritional worlds that is true or evidence based. Hence why she spent 2008-10 writing The Obesity Epidemic - 135,000 words blowing apart: the misapplication of thermodynamics to dieting; the notion that 1lb = 3,500 calories, let alone that a deficit of 3,500 calories will lead to a weight loss of 1lb; the Seven Countries Study and the subsequent change in our diet advice, which has caused the obesity epidemic; the role of exercise in obesity and much more. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
I've been a vegetarian for 12 years. I hadn't been able to lose weight to a significant amount since then. I would get crazy chronic pain all over my body. I would constantly get constipated. if I didn't eat the fiber (vegetarians and vegans suggested) to get rid of all of the plant matter and Grains I would eat, I would get so bloated. I'm happy to say that I mainly eat Meat, and Dairy foods. I no longer need fiber to be regular. I am no longer bloated. I no longer feel fatigue if I fast for more than 6 hours. I can actually fast for over 16 hours with no problem. My chronic pain in my joints, skin, and rectum have disappeared, and I've reversed my diabetes. I am also losing 5 lbs a week. My food intake consists of eating four eggs, three slices of bacon, two slices of ham, all cooked in lard or butter, then one cup of whole milk in the morning. For dinner I eat a large steak (or fish fillet, or roasted chicken), with some keto friendly vegetables, and a large pitcher of cold unsweetened tea. I have never felt better, and I will never go back to being a vegetarian. All I would ever be told was that meat was the cause of all of my illnesses, but clearly to me this was a load of bullshit. hopefully more people snap out of it. I'm glad I did.
well said.
strength.
Good for you! Glad you were able to listen to your bodys ques and quit veganism. I was never vegan but for the past 6 years I've been eating little to no mean and mostly carbs and vegetables and sugar. I thought meat was the enemy just like so many people. Happy your on a road to recovery!
Dont forget organs - liver, kidneys, lungs, etc.
@Black Sperm Wrong. On a keto diet LDL (bad) cholesterol goes down and HDL (good) cholesterol goes up. Those are facts.
Dr. Zoë Harcombe - Starfleet Medical. 😉
I was thinking the same thing. :)
Yellow command, blue science, red engineering. I'll watch the rest now.
Instant credibility
Right? :)
Hehehe yeah I immediately thought the same. And my second thought was: where can I get a jacket like that 🤨
How could I not believe a Star Trek science officer?
Great presentation skills!
Hahaha I was going for Star Trek communication officer.
Doc from the future. Sephraim Cocraine is in the audience.
Great comment 😂
😅😂😅😂😅. Captain Picard concurs.
I will never forget the day my sister-in-law (a staunch vegan) stood in front of me with her "multi-grain" bagel made with highly processed and fortified flour, spreading her soybean oil based margarine all over it telling me how unhealthy meat and butter was for me. This from a woman who suffers chronic pain, fibromyalgia, anemia, and generally just a real pill of a person to deal with. All of these "healthy" vegan products in her kitchen that all came from factories and so highly processed as to try an mimic the taste and texture of real food. To make matters worse she is an opiate addict (oxy) to help manage her chronic pain. She is so completely ensconced in the cult that there is no way to deprogram her from all the brainwashing she has had over the course of her life.
This is what happens when we follow advice that is not evidenced based and offered because of ulterior motives that have nothing to do with the stated goals. She is a willing victim.
You don't need to eat grains to be vegan .
I don't .
You can't seriously tell me hand on heart that meat is more beneficial to health than the most nutritionally dense foods per calorie which are in fact plant based like seaweed.
You wouldn't embarass yourself by disputing these facts would you ?
I don't believe your story you don't even realise veganism isn't a diet .
Your meat is from a " factory " and eating the foods that you claim are poisonous .
@@julienfroidevaux1143I gladly dispute the rubbish you are talking. You have no facts. Please take your ignorance elsewhere. Try studying the effects of lectins, phytic acid, oxalates, and the 70% carb (i.e. sugar) intake from the average vegan diet.
Dr. Zoe should go on the road as Health and Nutrition comedian. Could revolutionize the whole genre!
This woman is brilliant!
She'd be cancelled, sadly.
My compliments go out to Dr. Zoe Harcombe. Rarely does a presenter, especially with regards to scientific evidence regarding nutrition, make a presentation not only so informative, but extremely funny as well.
Unfortunately you can't rely upon what she says to be correct though
It's important to realise that this woman either does not know what she is talking about or misrepresents the truth to support her stance. Glucose is indeed essential.
While the body can utilize both glucose and ketones for energy, there are certain bodily functions that exclusively rely on glucose for fuel. These functions include:
Brain function: The brain is a highly demanding organ that requires a constant supply of energy to support its complex activities. Glucose is the preferred fuel source for the brain, accounting for approximately 60% of its energy needs. Ketones can also be utilized by the brain, but they are less efficient than glucose and cannot fully replace it.
Red blood cells: Red blood cells lack mitochondria, the organelles responsible for cellular respiration, which means they cannot directly utilize ketones for energy. Instead, they rely solely on glucose for fuel through a process called glycolysis.
Yes, love her sense of humor!!! 😂
Fetke is another great one!
@@richardjackson5380 Gluconeogenesis provides all the glucose your body needs even if you are an athlete. That's why we have the ability to synthesise glucose from protein. The brain can even synthesise fructose when required. This is why carbohydrates are not considered essential.
I've just watched a video by someone who knows their subject inside out but most probably practised it many times on her family before taking to the lectern, because repetition is the mother of all skill.
I recall when I was a soldier having to often sit through lectures that could send you off to sleep rapidly and like some skilled people that performed those lectures Zoe has grasped that a little humour goes a long way in keeping the audience attention hanging on to every word. Perfect presentation in my book, and I learned a lot!
Since significantly reducing my fiber intake my gut has never felt better and regular.
It's the opposite with me! I suspect you have to find the best diet for yourself.
I just went carnivore (no fiber/carbs), and not finally getting normal 💩.
Dale, maybe the problem was low electrolytes when on low fiber.
I tried the whole high fiber thing. I tried every combination. Insoluble and soluble. Different kinds of fruits and veg but i kept feeling miserable and fatigued and bloated and constipated. I just gave up after a few years and drastically reduced my fiber intake. Never felt better. The fact that we need fiber is a myth. I don't think our bodies were made to process a lot of fiber.
Franky boy remember the F-plan diet? Rosemary whatsername made a fortune out of making people bloat.
Lynne Gill Rosemary Stanton??
If you would be a Ruminant with a 4 chambered stomach and chewed your cud daily, perhaps fiber would be ok. lol
we can't digest fiber at all
Fibre is essential. Our ancestors ate and used lots of it when their digestive systems were larger, more complex and able to get turn it in to fat. Then, despite not changing our diets and still being a mainly vegetarian species, we lost (almost all) the ability to utilize fibre for energy, became the only animal on the planet to get the majority of our energy from carbohydrates ( speaking from a perspective of what ends up in the blood stream ) but still had a need to fill our colons with 50-100g ( or more according to some authors ) of fibre a day to stay healthy.
This all sounds entirely plausible...
Always fabulous listening to Zoë speak - excellent as usual. She seems to have a knack of seeing through the B.S. and presenting the truth in a clear manner.
Starfleet medical has my support. So refreshing to finally have a federation member talk about scientific facts.
I've been reducing carbs for about 7 months and feel much better generally.
Great talk! I keep telling people that once your body gets adjusted to eating for nourishment instead of eating for emotional needs you'll start eating once a day (or less) and food costs plummet. Before I started carnivore I was eating and drinking $35/day and after 40 days it was under $15 - and I eat 1.5lbs of good quality ribeye steak (not completely organic and grass fed but good quality beef) 5 times a week.
I can't afford daily ribeye, but do have it once a week or sometimes twice. My staple now is 20% ground beef, which is cheap and high quality (made from ground chuck). With some eggs and butter thrown in, it works out a about £2.50 a day... I've cut out all the other junk and processed stuff and only drink water (and some coffee/tea)..... that's an exceedingly affordable diet!
Absolutely the best explanation I've ever heard, and I've been looking at the diet-nutrition connection for decades.
Freedom from fruits & vegetables has been so appreciated...life becoming easier & more fun by the day....
right words: "life becoming easier" ...without MDs...
Having been on LCHF, moving into keto occasionally, for a little over 2 years now, I recently came to a realisation that since starting, the "number 2" has become consistently easy, neither hard nor soft, apart from occasionally when I let myself dehydrate (long hike, not bothering to drink much). One surprising consequence is "clean output", dramatically reducing use of toilet paper. Right at the beginning I was scared by the floating faeces phenomenon, but I guess it's just normal for LCHF, and I assume is a sign of fat content.
As per LCHF, I eat a moderate amount of non-starchy veg with my (moderate amount of ) meat/fish/egg/ with generous butter or olive oil on the veg. Desserts are full fat fromage frais (to which I add heavy cream, which I discovered is a good way of making it more palatable without adding sweetener) and cheese. So not zero fibre, but certainly not high fibre either.
Oh my.. no wonder I had constipation for the past few months. More than ½ of my plates are veges, mainly cruciferous.
Reduce them right away for my dinner just now..
Yeah, my problem is I can't have any dairy, and can't afford fresh coconuts and dislike having Coconut milk much otherwise. Thus, no sweet cream :( :( !!
I really got conned with the high fibre myth!
I spent my late teens and all my twenties eating wholemeal bread, bran flakes, bran biscuits, lots of fruit and veg, wholegrain rice, skin on potatoes etc. Low meat, and lots of vegetarian meals.
All for extra fibre.
I was also prescribed Fibre Gel on a permanent basis.
Yet I was severely constipated, to the point of extreme pain, and even being taken into hospital.
Today I eat white rice, more meat, white bread, white pasta (not saying they are good for you. I am not well - planning to go carnivore), less fruit and veg. And I have virtually no trouble going to the loo at all.
As you get older, you realise how many things we are taught, are a complete con! Xx
😘❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘

Correlation is NOT causation. There can always be a third factor. Causation can also be the REVERSE of what you assume. For example, people who eat a lot of fiber tend to be careful dieters and probably do NOT eat much candy, soda, or processed food. That is probably the real cause of their improved health. Better health means more energy to exercise rather than the opposite.
Robin Lillian Dod Zoe say correlation equals causation? I don’t think so! In fact she said quite the opposite! No health professional worth their salt would say anything like that.
The same can be said to any group of dieters (canivores, vegans, keto, paleo, etc)
Beautiful speaking voice. Love the accent. 😊
Local Yokel undergone an education where it was ridiculed.
What an entertaining presentation. thank you
Love Zoe! Thx for posting!
Fantastic engaging speaker - love from the UK 🇬🇧 to Zoe!
So entertaining and informative, thank you!
Im so glad this is out again. This disappeared. I wanted to share this since Denver. Thanks so much for posting.
I always learn so much from Zoe’s videos. I wish there were more available.
She has a blog and a newsletter if i remember correctly.
Best presentation I have see in a while. Great smile and humour.
Can't tell you how much I enjoyed this! I will look up Dr. Harcombe's books.
Awesome video and incredibly charismatic!
Surprising, informative, fabulous!
I have post infectious IBS.Fiber makes it worse,yet I'm always hearing the stupid fiber mantra. It never ends.
Clicked this video knowing there, was going to be some Star Trek comments. I wasn't disappointed. Great talk too. 🖖
Really enjoyed listening to this and learning... thank you
Concise, insightful viewing yet again. Thank you for showing us how the "nutritional guidelines" are actually just so much gaseous emissions.
Soluble fiber nourishes healthy bacteria in the gut, the microbiome. . The gut is called our second brain for many reasons. Healthy fiber from fruits and vegetables.
What tosh
Just loved Zoe's presentation ... informative and humorous ... I have been pondering this fiber issue and wondering if I need to eat as many vegetables ... Grains and me are no longer in a relationship these past 8 months ... and I am experiencing tangible benefits ... We have so many "nutritious LCHF" youtubes to munch on ... and not gain a pound/kilo, but instead a lot of improved health benefits! Thank you!
This was great, thank you
Zoe is one of the most intelligent women in the world I believe. Her presentation are just too awesome.
So so informative,,fantastic stuff, thanks a lot,,,
Wonderful speech!!!!
Thank you, thank you. That cleared up some of my questions!!! Well done Dr. Z. Harcombe PhD.
Eating lots of fiber for 10 years made me severely malnurished: advanced osteoporosis, super advanced osteoarthritis and recently SIBO! After healing my SIBO, my stomach became flat and my energy went up like crazy. Unbelievable... I was so mislead... this is good info.
If you only ate too much of one thing for 10 years, I am not surprised that you become malnourished.
One of my favourite speakers.
Brilliantly explained
Brilliant presentation.
What about the findings about the gut microbiome? Our microbes are vitally important for our own health, and they eat soluble fibre. The more varied our vegetable intake, the more varied our gut microbes, and the more healthy we are.
th-cam.com/video/DEx9foeADnc/w-d-xo.html This guy talks about this at 16:30
Exactly. There are gut microbes that only exist in our lower gut by feeding off the fiber you eat. The more gut microbes you have the healthier you are.
Not to mention the massive diversity of micro nutrients that are in fruit & vegetables that you can't find in animal products alone.
She also ignored the studies proving how eating fruit & vegetables (natural fiber) helps to prevent bowel cancer.
I'm all for the a low carb/keto keto diet, but excluding the health benefits of natural fiber is just crazy.
She would be better off in comedy.She seems to have looked into that more than health.
Gut biome shifts as the diet. You’ll decrease fermentation microbes by card removal & decrease gut inflammation. If only you had a cecum & not an appendix. 😂
We don’t need fibre! The micro biome adjusts to whatever you are eating.
What a great presentation and funny too
You’re an absolute sweetheart 💕💕💕it! Thank you so very much for the insight!
I find these lectures amazing for general public not just science related people. Thank you so much for posting these vídeos because at the end of the day we all need a bit of knowledge.
This was brilliant. I especially like her outfit which reminds me of the science officer's uniform on Star Trek.
on a LCHF diet my focus is on potassium, salt and magnesium. I stopped supplementing with fiber and feel a whole lot better.
Highly amusing and informative talk. I'm glad I clicked on the video. Sometimes, TH-cam Recommends still works. Just wait when they find out many more people find this knowledge and act on it; they'll make this stuff advertizer unfriendly and hidden.
Absolutely brilliant!!! Thanks for posting!
Wow that was really entertaining and enlightening!
LOVED THIS! Such ability to convey complex topics with simplicity. That's amazing.
This is one of the top 10 Low Carb Down Under presentations to date.
Ah she's brilliant! Love my UK people 💪🏽
I 💙 her Star Trek outfit !
All she needs is the Star Trek badge. I love it!
I love you Zoe.... you just talk SENSE X
Went high fiber, over 80 grams a day for about a month. Despite being in a 500 calorie deficit, was gaining weight. Stomach always in knots, and wicked farts.
At least you can collect methane and use it for cooking
Either you overestimated your caloric expenditure, or you underestimated your caloric intake. One can't gain weight in a caloric deficit.
@@veniqer what if his metabolism slowed down as well as his body swelling everywhere? You can easily gain weight eating less calories.
@@purebloodsunite7489 he said 500 kcal deficit. That is, 500 kcal below its basal metabolism requirement.
@@veniqer Calories are bs anyway. You're not a steam engine or nuclear bomb, you don't run on total heat expenditure.
Fun fact about what the microbiome needs... Gut bacteria use a small amount of fiber to make short chain fatty acids (butyrate) for fuel. When you're in ketosis you are making plenty of butyrate for both you and your gut bacteria.
I’ve been carnivore for 12 years. I feel amazing
Dr.joe fantastic information,
Ha! I had the same thought! Awesome Starfleet medical or science officer uniform! Very modern looking! Love it! 🖖🖖🖖
This was so great (info and humor) that I will watch it many times and share, share, share. Engage, Number Two!
Great info and so cheeky!
You cheeky little
I find it interesting that Christians would conclude that meat consumption is sinful... when God considered meat the highest value sacrifice... particularly red meat was the most valuable.
What an absolutely professional presenter. Love to see more of her.
As an American male, I contend that America needs an infusion of Zoë Harcombes.
Hot. Smart. Witty. Fit. Free-thinking. Beam me up!
It was nice to see a member of Starfleet Medical deliver such a great lecture.
Brilliant ...
That was fun and educational.
Oh, and by the way, l should mention that the only way we can consume animal products with peace in our hearts is if we are able to master a few traits.
Three that immediately spring to mind are:
Selective compassion.
An ability to disconnect from reality.
An unwillingness to confront inconvenient truths.
WOW! Pretty undesirable traits to have in a society.
Do you realise how many animals are killed to protect plant crops for human consumption? And by horribly cruel methods? Billions annually. One wheat farm in Australia will poison 11-20 million mice per year. That's one target species on one farm. And the poison can take up to 12 days to kill them. Then there are the birds and rabbits and wild hogs shot from a distance (so rarely a humane kill shot). Where is the humanity in that? Where is the compassion? They are treated as collateral damage and chucked in the bin. In contrast I live on half a cow per year that I raise myself and which is butchered on farm (a well placed bullet through the head and they literally drop dead, no 12 days of suffering) and milk from my own house cows.
I ate “plant based” for 1.5 years and got worse and worse bloating and gas over that time. I went mostly animal based for now a month, the bloating got so so much better. I try adding in a few fruits (berries) and veggies here and there, but it kind of doesn’t even seem necessary. Often I get gassy when I try it with the exception of zucchini and plain lettuce and for some reason tomatoes are fine, too. The only other plant stuff I still eat regularly is dark chocolate (95%) and peanut butter.
Zoe is a great presenter
In Germany, we call fiber Ballaststoffe which literally means ballast substances. Despite this very honest name, they are still being recommended to people.
Star Fleet pretty blatantly disregarding the Temporal Prime Directive here.
🤣
First thing I thought of when I saw this too.
Like your books well presented. Those in power should take heed of your knowledge, you are a star, head and shoulders above the peddlers of false/misguided information!!!
She’s the best! Funny and smart :)
They should have called it the "Food and Reinfarction Trial (FART).
Just got into a “discussion “ with someone who absolutely refuses to accept we don’t need fiber…..my head hurts…
I'm watching this a 3rd time. So funny love this presebtation.
We need to question everything and be able to go through any cognitive dissonance when long-held beliefs are challenged. Fiber being good for you isn't so hard to accept as a lie. Vegetables being good for you is a much bigger lie to overcome, but do the research. A Carnivore or Ketovore diet is probably the healthiest for most humans.
Another lie: cardio exercise is good for you. Sure, for short bursts. But running/jogging or being on a treadmill regularly for a half hour or more is bad for your body and health, and you won't lose weight. Check into HIIT (high intensity interval training) and strength / resistance training. They're the best.
Here's a smile for you: "I practice resistance training. I resist going to the gym. 😁) Thank you for being a comment reader and participating in this community.
I used to mock homeopathy believers for being duped by bad 'science' but never thought to question my nutritional beliefs.
I feel foolish now.
I REALLY enjoy her talks ! Smart and full of humor. Cuts to the core of ridiculousness.
Although I have known about Zoe since 2020, I'm here again as she has been referenced numerous times by keto and carnivore Drs.
As a West country yokel, we class the Welsh as folk who couldn't swim the Bristol channel 😆😂 and we are the same, just not able to understand out languages......😉
I jest. This lady should be in government she's just fantastic 🎯👏
I heartily agree with the low carb approach . I was born into a working class family in the 1950's and although we had a lot of home cooking , there was also a lot of bread , potatoes , jam , sweet tea , and margarine in there . Chocolate and cake only once a week and at Christmas and Easter .So my health was pretty compromised early on
I can appreciate that upbringing, though without too much sugar. Throw in 2 smoking parents -- the 70's and early 80's were a bit of a nightmare though. Fast forward to today, I'm 60, very happy to say healthy in the truest sense (and backed up by the blood work results). Yes, our early years may indeed have compromised certain aspects of our health though I remain confidence that our bodies can REVERSE damage as well as prevent further damage.
Starfleet Medical! Love it!
Gold, command. Red, security. Blue, science.
Excellent presentation. Lots of good ammunition!
This talk is excellent. As an FYI. It's not 'eduation' only that is the different for box D. Trauma is a big issue. If you are living with a primed nervous system you wish to placate it with foods that make you feel safe and like there is abundance and you may eat in line with emotions more too. So trauma really needs to be factored into health conversations are a key aspect in why people make the choices they do evn when they have money and knowledge - if you don't believe you're worth making the effort for then you won't make the effort to cook healthy food from scratch.
Well, even without low self esteem, traumma can definitely still be a factor in the ways you mentioned. I can see that in myself, needing to feel safe and happy, feel pleasure that's more un-strived for than counting my blessings and appreciating, being thankful. That's cheerful, even joyful, but not the same as happy, pleasure endorphins or whatever. My not all bad but also chronically traumatic childhood lasted to my late 20s and followed me beyond, so, I know.
That was a fun lecture.
Star Fleets finest!
My home town of Nanaimo,BC , has a pastry (Nanaimo Bars)….I remember in nursing school thinking about the Bristol Stool Chart--I’m sorry, how tragic!😂
wonderful
Dr Burkett spoke to my medical school class in 1989!
Great talk. But she missed a joke. When she said “the plucked the numbers out of the air.” Should have been, “They pulled it out of their ....”
Thanks for this....food for thought. I'm seriously limiting carbs but was making an exception for fruit which has become my new treat food. Probably best not to be too prescriptive (on myself) as I do enjoy my diet more than I thought it would. Plus I need that banana in my kefir lassi !
Hey, whatever works for you works for you! That said, the bananas we get in the USA are dessert bananas, and contain around 14+ grams of sugar plus 5 or 6 grams of starch - which is made of sugar molecules hooked together, which become unlinked as soon as we eat them. You may want to look for the smaller bananas.
Some people, especially a lot of people who were raised on sugary and starchy foods, cannot eat sugary fruits like bananas, grapes, pineapples, etc. Berries, like blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and goldenberries are lower in sugar, and less likely to spike bood sugar or spike insulin - or switch the metabolism from burning fat to burning sugar/carbs.
Have you tried making kefir with whole, 100% 'grassfed' milk, unprocessed and preferably from Jersey cows, or other dairy animals that produce a naturally high butterfat content in their milk? It is indescribably better than that stuff sold in plastic in the stores, made from low- or no-fat milk. Yuck.
Same here, sometimes everyone has solutions but still the proof is in the pudding. Natural sugars from fruit are too demonized
Bananas are low fibre food and it is good for your gut. Just mix it with kefir, whole milk, cinnamon, and many eggs for breakfast? Stop the fibre!!
So, just starting this video, I feel that she has an appeal to the appearance of authority because she looks like a member of Star-fleet. I actually found myself looking for her rank insignia! Great Presentation! Very informative and Entertaining as well! I found when my diet was mostly animal foods and fats, , vegetable leaves and stems, some seeds/nuts, and only occasional starches, I had very easy BM's and No time to read anything while in the bathroom. Most of my fiber came from nuts, leafy vegetables, and stem veggies like celery, bak choi, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. . When I couldn't cook for myself for a while and was fed a more standard American Diet, it was like passing bricks!
Passing bricks is a very apt description of my time "trying" to poop out all of that fiber. What a literal pain in the butt!
Brilliant lady :)
I wonder, if that change to the 2005-2010 Dietary Guidelines (including a recommended fibre intake) was the result of the popularity of the Atkins diet at the time. The Atkins Diet took off in a big way between 2000-2005, and I remember the mainstream media doing their best to subtly demonise it, which mostly went ignored (at least by people on the diet, it might have persuaded people who were on the fence to give it a miss though).
This is the problem the establishment have with their fake guidance, people are gaining weight, but they don't want to. So if a diet can help them lose weight and make them healthy, it threatens the establishment, and puts them on the back foot. They either have to adapt, or run the risk of being exposed as intentionally lying to the public. Because they absolutely cannot afford to lose public trust, they are forced to either make concessions, or find new ways to keep lying to the public.
What better way than to shoot down a trending diet (that works) than by declaring that people need a minimum amount of fibre in their diet in order to be healthy (something that isn't included in the diet of course). That way, they basically stated that grains were absolutely necessary for a healthy diet, and because grain isn't part of the Atkins diet..... you get the idea.
Of course, this is happening all over again, with the popularity (and effectiveness) of the Keto diet. They have no more cards to play, so now they are desperately trying to link red meat consumption with cancer, promoting the Vegan diet, and manufacturing plant-based meat substitutes as an alternative, all the while hiding behind climate change as their reasoning.
Plant based meat alternatives. Bleech. All hail Bill Gates.
Totally true!
This Is intriguing I had been watching some of mic the vegan and looking at his references and I was puzzled by the fact that sooo many of his references were studies endorsed or paid for by the seventh day adventists I couldn't quite understand this until now. Thank you Dr.
