I lost a friend to colon cancer last year. He wasn't an alcoholic or a smoker, but he did have health issues and a weak immune system. He was in his mid 50s. RIP Thomas Kutlow.
Extensively Times that Step we are afraid to Take might just be the right one. Thank you Dr Igho Your Medication that cured me is Super awesome I am Absolutely Delighted I came Across your channel.
It's not just that. People who don't or no longer work seem to eat microwaveable meals or even what my mother called "convenience foods" back in the 1960s (hamburger helper, or other such meals made from a box with added proteins). I've run into a lot of people, including retirees and stay-at-home Moms who call THOSE "home cooked meals". That, or eat in fast food restaurants. I'm weird. I start with vegetables and meat; maybe rice or pasta. I'm eating the 1970s version of a diabetic diet. The current "GI index" thing seems to emphasize boxed or frozen meals.
Yes I agree. I was working full time just to come home and order eat out and waste all my money. I started working less hours so that way I can cook at home at least 5 times out of the week.
Good video. I recently reversed my NAFLD (fatty liver) through the tips provided in this video. No alcohol, white flour, sugar or processed foods. Took me 5 mos. Add in vigorous exercise (I ran 1 mile per day). Brisk walking helps too. Know your familial history and get regular blood screening. My heart improved dramatically and I felt much better.
My dad's sister died from colon cancer in her early forties and a former elementary school classmate of mine died from it when she was forty. They were both such loving and selfless people and I wish they had gotten to live to be so much older.
Your Aunt.... Its weird hearing people say that. (Dads sister) .what did she EAT or Drink My mom died from colon cancer at 79, but she ate junky foods..
My friends just lost their 19 year old son to colon cancer. We’ve grown to expect older people to get cancer but terminal colon cancer at 19 is just mind blowing. Devastating 😔.
My nieces husband just got diagnosed with stage four lung cancer that has spread to his brain. I thought 50 years old was young, but to lose someone because of cancer at 19 - especially colon - something else again. 😢 ugh
@@missmoneypenny333 That's awful ... sometimes it is a genetic thing and bad luck ... but I do wonder about mobile phones etc. they are a known carcinogen and we keep them close to our bodies. We'll never know I think. My heart goes out to his parents.
Nobody makes you buy their junk food. Grow up, take the bull by the horns and take personal responsibility instead of sniveling to strangers on TH-cam like a toddler.
Broccoli sprouts…eat your organic greens. Turmeric for inflammation. I’m 74 family has colon, stomach and ovarian cancer. Their eating habits were horrible. They’re all gone. I’m healthy all organic, gluten free for years. You are what you eat I do believe.
How does one afford to fully eat organic with the cost of living as high as it is? I wish I could, my goal is to establish a huge organic vege garden to live off but that's years away
@@northernalps6249 What is inorganic about legumes and starchy foods? They are the cheapest foods you can find. Especially legumes. They are practically superfood.
@@InspiriumESOO I assumed that growers would spray legume crops with pesticides, but despite that I do really enjoy legumes, I buy the huge bags from Costco and make hummus with the chickpeas and use the lentils for soups
Dr. Abramson said on JRE podcast 80% of our health is due to our lifestyle choices. Look at how many young people are overweight/obese. They consume fast food and energy drinks like they are going out of style.
My fiancé died of colon cancer at 27. He was a health nut. Ran marathons only ate healthy foods lots of vegies, fruit whole grains etc. When it was discovered we thought it was his appendix’, he died within 18 months.
Marathons are unhealthy and speeds up your aging. The human body is just not designed to run extremely long distances for long periods of time. That's why short HIIT is the best.

Great video! I am 52, I had a colonoscopy as a preventative measure ordered by my primary. They removed a precancerous polyp. I can not stress enough how bad people make the procedure seem when it is truly not that bad. If your primary is suggesting you to get a colonoscopy, do it! It is an easy way to prevent colon cancer when you get older.
So, basically, everything I've been eating, I have to cut down or out. It's so hard eating healthy when you're stuck in a bad eating habit. I don't sleep well, and I've noticed some signs of pre-diabetes, unfortunately. Watching this has reminded me to keep trying.
If your health is really important, you can find a personal trainer or nutrition coach who can help motivate you and keep you accountable. Eating healthy is a matter of discipline and dedication.
You have 2 roads you can go down. 1st keep doing what your doing, then yrs later when your in a hospital bed wish you didn't. Or 2nd, start healthy habits now that will soon be pleasurable and rewarding with a much better chance of living a longer healthier life. Quite simple if you look at it that way. Choice is yours.
@thatmanoverthere608 thats a fallacy. Eat what you want and you will probably die, or probably not 🤷♂️ its not a %100 statistic. Its relative and depends on many more factors
As a Geriatric NP I would also add the importance of staying well hydrated with water. Especially if one increases their fiber intake as you suggest. Otherwise, they have an increased risk of constipation and cramping which can lead to other complications. Hydration must be increased with an increase in fiber intake.
A study in Japan involving over 40,000 men found that those who had the highest intake of magnesium had a greater than 50% reduced risk of contracting colon cancer. A study from the Netherlands showed a 19% reduction in colorectal adenomas (precursors to colon tumors) for every additional 100 mg increase in magnesium intake, there was a 19% reduction in colorectal adenomas (precursors to colon tumors). The researchers also noted that each additional intake of 100 mg of magnesium corresponded with a 12% reduction in colorectal cancer risk.
I have lost almost a stone in the last 5 weeks (about 1 and a half stone more to go) and try to eat as little processed food as I can ... I only eat them as a treat on special occasions ... as opposed to nearly every day treats 😐. Now if I eat sugar or salt they taste much stronger than they did and I actually enjoy them more! You have helped me with my diet along with a couple more TH-camrs ... You're doing great work ... Thank you.
If you really are interested. Look at what Europe inhibits compared to the US. For instance, order gummy bears from over there. Look at the difference in ingredients. They actually put fruit extract, and allow no dyes.
Two things to remember: 1. *Iodine is required for autophagy: iodine deficiency is associated with much higher cancer rates, especially breast, prostate and cervical.* 2. *All plant-smoke concentrates the radioactive elements absorbed from the soil: tobacco is worst (with polonium and radioactive lead), but all others must be avoided, too.*

The real cause of colon cancer is sedentary lifestyle and uncontrolled stress and anxiety, at least solely focusing on diet won't tell you the whole picture. My family and I are from south east Asia where we live we don't eat bread or corn syrup. I lost one family member to colon cancer and another just had a colon surgery, neither of them ate bread or even had access to corn syrup, though both were under heavy stress and were very sedentary (one was an overweight office worker and a heavy drinker and smoker and one is disabled and does not drink)
South East Asian countries still eat a lot of carbohydrates though. I lived in Indonesia, visited Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand and ate a lot of carbs there. Rice, rice noodles, buns, very sweet tea or coffee... And people nowadays eat way too often, spiking their blood sugar too much. We have to be careful. But you're right that being sedentary, drinking in excess and being over stressed are bad as well.
@@Raphanne Where I am from Laos the locals eat mainly sticky rice which has the highest sugar content of all the rice species, rice farmers eat an amazing amount of rice each day though very few are over weight, rice farming is hard work they easily burn it all off, whereas city people walk less than 5km per day and hardly ever sweat but they still eat a lot, so I think carbs are fine if you live a physically active life
@@sugameltpastriescoffee7186 I don't think anyone on this planet can avoid high fructose corn syrup unless their really wealthy because, for example, coke and every other softdrinks central ingredients is high fructose corn syrup. I doubt anyone even from south east asia have never drank a bottle of coke or any type of softdrinks. Unless you snack on only real fruits and eat plain vegetables and cook your own grass fed meats in your backyard, it's an ingredient that's really hard to avoid. Something that wealthy people can do because they treat certain food as "commoner's or peasants food" and thus they don't eat and drink what most people do. If your wealthy then I can understand but if your from a poor background, I'm pretty sure that high fructose corn syrup can certainly be a part of your diet. Read every ingredient of every food you eat. It's one of the main ingredients of most processed foods.
I pretty much figure living life at all causes cancer at this point. How to avoid cancer: 1. Don't eat 2. Don't drink anything, even water is contaminated now 3. Don't breathe 4. Don't touch anything 5. Don't ingest any substance at all actually 6. Sleep but don't sleep too much or too little 7. Don't look at things 8. Stay cold and hot simultaneously 9. Exercise every minute 10. Get enough rest. 11. Avoid the sun but also get enough sun. 12. Avoid humans but also interact with them. 13. Avoid technology. 14. Don't think too much but don't be thoughtless. 15. Don't go to work or get a job. 16. Probably just don't come to Earth (Joke 😂)
What worries me, Dr. Hansen, is that no one seems to want to talk about health anymore. On sports radio, of all places, they were talking about this. Growing up in the 80's-90's we got nutrition hammered into our little skulls, some of it dubious (food pyramid), but at least we were told to move and not to eat junk food. The radio hosts were saying they ask their kids about nutrition and good health, and they have no clue, no interest. They aren't hearing it at school. They don't see it on TV, or hear it on the radio (OK, I'm showing my age). It really worries me. My father grew up in the 60's and ate a typical 60's meat and potatoes diet, probably without a lot of processed food. Now he has diabetes. I grew up in the 80's with fruit loops and TV dinners, which we usually didn't get because we couldn't afford them - but I'm trying to improve my health because I'm pre-diabetic. My kids eat absolutely terrible diets because they have junk shoved on them from everywhere - usually for free. Where will they be in 20-30 years?
To answer your last question, they'll be sick in many ways and probably obese like I was. Try to turn them around now before the damage is done. Everything in moderation. Teach them WHY junk food will cause suffering later. If they haven't seen it, watch super size me, and fat sick and nearly dead. Eye opening films!
Good morning Dr. Mike from our farm in New Hampshire. New to your channel. Looks like I had the correct information in general to promote good health, but lacked the knowledge to put everything in the right context. So thank you for this helpful video. It makes for a wonderful Christmas present and a good start to 2023. My husband and I are over 70 and still active on our working family farm ( grass fed beef- commercial hay- commercial logging). So we are in the fresh air, countryside. No smoking and limited alcohol. Occasional bacon. Limited grilling/smoking oils. I do IT Fasting in the morning. Thats the good news >>> Now I have to drop weight, walk more, watch the sugar/white carbs/dairy/processed foods. And increase organic vegetables/fiber. Got it! So thank you again for laying it out on the line to get me back on track! Merry Christmas! ~ Diane
Well…… in many of the European countries, and in Denmark we don’t ruin the grain like they do in the states… most of the bread is actually much healthier. I don’t know why they remove most of the healthy parts in some countries, but in my country mostly we don’t.
Yes, yes, we are well aware that you Scandinavians do everything better than everyone else. Of course, you don't have the crushing poverty that forces many people to live on cheap processed carbs.
@@oliviamartini9700 that’s not the point … and we have the same in all over Europe and there’s a lot of poverty in Europe too - so if we can get the more healthier food produced why can’t you do that as basic food in the States And a lot of the times it’s not actually more expensive to eat healthier food. I never drink soda or alcohol. I drink tapwater so that doesn’t cost me anything so I can spend on the food instead And if you learn how to make your own food from the start, it’s actually a lot cheaper and the vegetables can go a long way
@@tiffanyraine7444that’s right!! The glyphosate is probably causing much of the cancer in the US! Many EU countries have banned it but the US still allows it! Makes me so mad! Buy organic everyone !
Thank you, Dr Mike. I wish we'd been brought up knowing this stuff. My generation wasn't. Sometimes I'm afraid to go to the supermarket to try finding anything I like that's not bad for me.
@@ryanjsgrandma2009 .... Don't be afraid! Just remember --- Shop along the perimeter! The processed stuff is in the aisles in the middle of the store. The produce, etc is always along the perimeter. Good luck! ♥ ~ _from a sixty-something_
I'm 35. My generation was 100% brought up learning this stuff. They didn't pay attention. They did their own thing. Unhealthy stuff is simply more tempting than healthy stuff. No one chooses boring. I have no doubt that this will never change.
Awesome Doc! Thanks for discussing these issues in a very informational and unbiased way. The evidence is clear on what we should be doing to improve our health. It's just a matter of people deciding to make the change. Waiting until we are sick is not a good strategy.
@@stevecarr7338 Great Idea. I've been eating Carnivore Keto since 2018. Have kept 200lbs off and got off all medications I was on for a variety of chronic diseases.
Your Aunt has good genes to start with. Is there longevity in your family-90s plus? Most people would not be as lucky as your Aunt, especially with brin cancer.
@@Karen-dk1ec on that side of my family only my grand-parents passed and they both passed around 72-75 years old (grandma hit by a car and didn’t survive the surgery and grandpa had a failing liver because of alcohol. he was a war veteran so alcohol helped him cope with being the only one of his unit to survive). So not sure about the good genes yet! Hoping we do 🙏
Dehydration is the main reason - because you don't flush out the toxins of your colon, if you don't drink enough of clean warmluke water. (I'm not sure, if he's mentioned it.)
Intermittent fasting is excellent for the gut, as research has found that in a fasting ‘state’, the gut manufactures healthy enzymes that increase the immune system!!
😢My nieces husband is just 50 years old and was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer just a week ago. They found 2 tumors in his brain. One they were able to remove just a week and a half ago, and the other one they can’t remove with surgery. He starts treatment January 6th. 😢
Great info, thanks! Even those of us who ‘know’ these things benefit from reminders. Not only are young people increasingly developing colon (and other digestive cancers), they are suffering Crohn’s and IBS at alarmingly increasing rates. Along with everything you mentioned, I believe glyphosate (Roundup) is a key culprit. (I also wonder if it’s responsible for the fairly recent ‘epidemic’ of those sensitive to gluten).
Not just glyphosate, but many herbicides and pesticides. Glyphosate though is really bad because its super water soluable so its almost everywhere. These people need to all go to prison. It's also amazing there are still peeople out there saying these are safe chemicals. It's just so absurd.
I’m currently eating gluten free for the most part (I’m not as strict when it comes to products that may contain or have traces of gluten) as I’m not sure if I might have a mild sensitivity. I don’t seem to absorb iron well (while I don’t have anemia, I have low iron saturation and have been taking supplements since 2019, as well as done rounds of iv iron twice). I also find I’m less bloated when not eating gluten (unless I eat too many carbs or another food that can cause bloating).
Forgot to mention recent bloodwork shows my blood sugar is high and I am pre-diabetic. I’m not overweight and as I stated, my eating habits are healthier than most.… Thank you for any thoughts or suggestions you may have.
Diet and lifestyle impact health. Drinking drinks with HFCS is def a major impactor and there are many thin obese people. So we can not use that as an indicator.
Yes that is why I am puzzled. Very low meat intake, high plant protein. No refined sugar. Only Stevia. No alcohol no smoking. No prescription drugs. Wondering how much of the environment causes insulin resistance, although no one is talking about that…
@@creativesolutionstoart I’ve read that stevia can raise blood sugar in some people. I’m not sure if that’s true or not but might be something to look into. I still have it at times, however have also started to use allulose as well. Also, how many carbs do you get from the plant foods? All carbs, even the healthier ones, turn into sugar through digestion. That’s not to say that carbs are necessarily bad, just that like everything else, too much may not be a good thing.
I follow a few TH-camrs who have gotten cancer and they are barely in their 30’s. It’s very scary and confusing since some some are vegan while others are not, so you are not sure what is causing this cancer to arise.
@@BobbyM7847Not at the rates we have over the last 3 years. The V's induce IgG4 antibodies and suppress the P53 gene, which are a huge culprit in these new cancers.
Lots of correlations but little direct evidence in sugar, carbs, etc. Exercise and eat a balanced, nutrient dense, diet is key. Full on restrictions always fail and is unrealistic.
A great introduction to this issue. My only criticism of the video is the use of unnecessary sound effects. They take away from the otherwise excellent presentation.
I eat bread most days, I have for a few decades ( I’m a very healthy 59 year old woman) BUT…I don’t purchase bread at the store. I make my own sourdough. Sourdough rye, sourdough einkorn, seeded sourdough. I make a loaf a week, slice it and freeze it. Pull out a slice in the morning and have it with breakfast. Beyond that, I have lived an extremely healthy lifestyle, plant predominate, mostly pescatarian diet since the 80’s. No heath issues ( except for genetic Familial hypercholesterolemia that is under control) , I work out regularly and maintain a healthy weight. I don’t understand why the general population thinks it’s so hard to live healthy 🤷♀️ *A friend of mine has a daughter in her early 40’s, very overweight and just diagnosed with Colon cancer. Sad.
This is the best nutritional video I've seen this year. I gave up sugar, cheese, processed flour foods, and empty calories in general two years ago. I feel great. I've used keto and intermittent fasting to get from 190 lbs to 150 lbs while retaining muscle strength. The only grain I eat with any regularity is rye based (WASA crackers) which can be good if you eat them with something else, and they have a lot of good fiber. I don't consume trans fats or seed oils. I've been doing everything right except I stocked up on a lot of canned corned beef because I love it for breakfast and it's keto friendly, but it keeps for years so I'll just spread out the consumption of it over time.
@@vincentvega3747 The only part of this I actually had to get used to was getting off of sugar. That was strength of will and determination, but it only took a few days.
Yes, stool test is first step. In my case, fecal test was positive for blood particles, did colonoscopy (did not know about the danger at that time), nothing found, 1 year later, positive result again. Quit alcohol, almost quit soda, almost no processed food, replaced vegetable oil with coconut oil and butter. Another one year gone and now two fecal tests negetive in a row. Some fasting, slightly less fiber than before and unprocessed meats too.
@@troylollysaf9311 When the scope tears a hole in the colon. It happens enough that everyone should weigh the risks, and it increases with obesity and age.
So, after watching this video, here’s my big question: if this is all accurate, shouldn’t 98% of the world’s population have colon cancer already? Only a very small percentage of the world’s population, specifically from highly developed countries, have resources enough to avoid sugars, white rice, potatoes, and processed food altogether. Shouldn’t everyone from asia, india, and almost every single person in the united states have cancer already?
Just because one has risk factors, even all of them, does not mean they're GOING to get it. Google absolute vs relative risk, or understanding risk factor percentages.
People could be taking fiber or antioxidant supplements which would lower their risk for overt cancer. Like the Doc said that keeps it at bay (the damaged cancerous cells).
He’s talking about environmental factors, which play a huge role, but there are other factors that contribute to cancer. Some people also are more predisposed than others and some people are even able to fight off carcinogens. Many factors at play. That’s why the rate of incidence isn’t consistent.
@@MichelleAntonia If the logic held true, then countries that eat a lot of white rice, like Japan, China, Korea, should be topping in colon cancer. From what I've seen, Japan is pretty high on the list, but it's not in the top 5. And it's also got a pretty heavy drinking culture along with smoking being popular
One of the men I thought was most likely to be the last man standing, an athlete, healthy eater, and low body weight. I was shocked to learn he passed at 66 of Colon Cancer, as he was one of the healthiest people I knew. It can happen to anyone; the best advice is to do all you can. We have no guarantees.
Thanks for this info doc...could u tell us by chance if these mRNA shots has any link to the increase in cancers lately? There seem to be a massive increase in cancers and auto immune diseases since mass vaccinations took place...could u do some follow ups on this topic please....
50% of m rrna V'd with 2+ shots now have IgG4 antibodies. IgG4-RD is an autoimmune disorder which signals IMMUNE ESCAPE ( body doesn't recognize the spike proteins as invaders ) when infected with CVD. It can cause all sorts of different cancers. The V's also suppress the P53 gene which are.highly important in the bodies function in fighting cancer. We don't know yet if they these IgG4 antibodies will go away or not over the years. With each new infection the antibodies go up. Scary stuff.
Vegetable oil is the biggest killer in modern society, and the worst thing about it is... it's EVERYWHERE. Even in advertised healthy foods like hummus, it's like 30% vegetable oil.
I’m doing the carnivore cleanse this month.. just eating meat for World Carnivore month to reset. Been doing carnivore on and off since 2017. I cut back on a lot of the crappy food and got a battery of heart tests - 0 calcium score at 53. My little brother died of colon cancer so I’m trying to be here to take care of my aging mom who is also carnivore with me this month. Good luck everyone
What about those lovely cruciferous vegetables? I’ve heard they’re a great preventative for colon cancer. Once a week I make a big pot of soup with collards, cabbage, and greens. I sip on it all day and feel so good.
No sugar, minimal complex carbs, high protein, healthy fats… Perfect weight for my height and age. Moderate exercise. is there something I’m missing?? no drinking no smoking a prescription drugs… No one in my family… And I have a high A1c count. 12 to 18 hours of intermittent fasting daily. Just clarifying for all the people who think they are doctors out there, minus the people who actually have helpful suggestions.
And also remember, just because a wrap looks healthy and lean doesn’t mean is super healthy. Many coffee shops offer food that comes in a bag; such as their chicken which looks lean but it is already cooked and who knows what type of oils and chemicals it has. Unfortunately these days most people don’t even have the time to cook some chicken at home.
How much of these cancers and illnesses are also further exacerbated by our environment? Plastic homes, vehicles, containers, packaging, etc. Our entire housing here in the US is just environmental aromatase producing containers. No wonder we see this huge uptick with new cancer formation in millennial and gen Z. Plastics are everywhere and all we can do is try and reduce our exposure till our bodies have had ample time through several generations to adapt to plastic waste in our bodies

Thank you for this information...Finally, you are talking about lowering sugar and carbohydrate consumption because this is not just about colon cancer but also other types of cancer and other diseases...Just take the average consumption of sugar per year now and 100 years ago. It is crazy the consumption of sugars has increased tremendously. :(
I take ! kilo of sugar every 6 or 7 weeks, mainly in my tea. My diet is low in fats, but I'm not fanatical about it. I never eat white bread, always wholemeal, and quite a lot of it. I gave up fried food 25 years ago, as I consider it unhealthy. Tobacco is out and alcohol severely limited. I avoid smoke whenever possible and dont eat smoked fish, but if offered a kipper once in a blue moon, I would eat it. Never eat processed meat, rarely other kinds of meat, but often eat sardines or canned pilchards with lots of fruit and veg, plus a pint of full cream milk every day. Porage oats highly recommended. I dont do fasting, but at 85 i'm still a healthy weight and can wear the same clothes that were made to measure 60 years ago. I take lots of exercise including 4-mile runs.
Very healthy! I'd still avoid the oats though as they're heavily sprayed these days with herbicides, unless organic. Go easy on the milk too.... it's very mucus forming.
I had a colonoscopy when I went on Medicare insurance I think 66 yrs old the doctor said come back in 10 yrs then I had my heart checked out the doctor said I was good to go then I had my lungs x-rayed doctor said they looked good so I went and rebuilt a 1991 42 ft sail boat which kept my A1C down to 6.1 for next 5 yrs after pandemic I sold boat and came home for last 4 months and barbecued all summer now my A1C is up to 7.4 and my BP is all over the place so I’m so great full for all the doctors on u tube for reminding me what I need to do to get healthy again
Liver is one of the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet. It contains significant amounts of folate, iron, vitamin B, vitamin A, and copper. Eating a single serving of liver can help you meet your daily recommended amount of all of these vitamins and minerals, reducing your risk of nutrient deficiency
As a colon cancer survivor (stage 3) you don't want to go through this believe me between the surgery, the chemo, the colostomy bag your life is turned upside down get screened early don't put it off til it's too late !
After watching many of these channels the theme is don't eat sugared or processed foods and avoid all seed oils. Well, having checked out just about everything on the current shop shelves that rules out 95% of the stuff in shops including even tinned foods.
Nothing about young people here in my comment...my mother passed away from cc 24 yrs ago...shortly after her passing I was in my docs office for a routine physical...he read my family history sheet and questioned me about my mother...he then stated that recently published at that time in the NE Journal of Med (as I recall) was a 20 yr study by Sloane Kettering (again as I recall)...the study showed concrete evidence that daily 81mg aspirin regimine killed pre cancerous polyps in the colon...he looked me square in the eye snd told me that I was to start the regime that day and to never ever stop...and secondly to get a colonoscopy every 5 yrs...so far so good...God bless you Doc probably saved my life...
I think intermittent fasting is really important and something people overlook these days. And also, taking ayurvedic triphala powder every night after meal will definitely help in cleansing the intestine.
I'm 76. During childhood, we were fed the four major food groups on a regular basis: sugar, refined flour, Hi-C for vitamins, and saturated fats. During most of my adulthood, I consumed the major food groups for adults: alcohol, sweet and low (saccharine), white flour, Crisco oil, broccoli with tons of cheese and margarine. Many of us stopped smoking about 20 years ago and no longer do drugs, not much anyway. We're all deaf from too much loud rock and fat from the 3 bags of Doritos we ate after toking. It's been an interesting experience.
I had multiple health problem primarily the frequent tonsillitis, migraine, eosinophilia, running nose, drowsiness, frequent symptoms of cold, fewer, acidity, fatty liver, bloating, high cholesterol, elevated bilirubin count, irritable bowl syndrome, leaky gut syndrome, boarder sugar, frequent tooth aches. All gone in one go 20 years ago with liver and gut cleanse. Gone are the medicine too I used to consume around 5/6 of them daily. In 20 years I am yet to get cold fewer or allergies and absolutely no cholesterol, sugar level has crashed and so is my weight. You are the best doctor and our body has the amazing ability to heal itself. Believe in self healing and keep listening to very mild weak signals the body sends when it’s in trouble.
Thank you for covering this important topic, Dr. Hansen! I know that you are a big advocate for intermittent fasting. I live without a gallbladder and was told by my surgeons and family doctor that I need to eat small portions of food every 2-3 hours. Otherwise, the bile will damage my intestines. Does it mean that I cannot do intermittent fasting or will my body adapt and release bile only during the window when I am eating? I would appreciate your opinion! Thank you in advance.
I had my gallbladder removed 26 years ago and have been doing intermittent fasting along with a ketovore lifestyle for the last 10. My blood work is all excellent, I completely reversed T-2 diabetes , metabolic syndrome, and lost 85lbs. NO issues with gut at all! Don't worry, you will be much healthier without eating all the time, just eat like the doc. says!
@@marymc6823 Similar story here. Gallbladder out 24 years ago. I have done IF for many years but my diet is terrible. However, never had any issues at all with indigestion or gut issues.
U do not need to eat every 2-3 hrs Idk why they would tell u that. I know so so many ppl with gall bladders out and they eat when they want. I’ve never heard an MD say that.
Nuh, I just concluded that we have zero control of our health, we just try but it's all luck. I have seen drunkards feeling sorry for a guy who didn't drink but died of liver cancer, seen people abuse their bodies to the max with smoking and alcohol but they are out living the careful guys, it's all up to God.
I think you're right, I see old guys who lived the 'rockstar' lifestyle for decades including heavy smoking and drugs/alcohol and are doing great at 70/80, and I see people like my neighbour who was young fit and healthy die from cancer. I feel like so much is beyond our control
Yeah, there's people who live unhealthy lives who live forever, and there's the reverse. But what are the TRENDS of those who live unhealthy lives? Come on... These are simple questions, but nobody thinks hard enough for two actual seconds about them, but they'll shrug and go "it's all 50/50, hurr durr"
The Adventist Health Study found that those who didn't eat meat were significantly less likely to have multiple types of cancer, including colon cancer. They were also less likely to have ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity.
I should point out a mistake here. Smoking point in oils is not the same as the point of break down. Just because you see smoke it doesn’t mean that the oil is being hydrogenated or oxidized or becoming carcinogenic. Olive oil has a lower smoking point than other oils but it’s one of the most stable ones. It also has antioxidants. The only oils that cause cancer are the ones that are used and reused like in restaurants. To know more see Adam Ragusea video on this.
I had to question that as well. I’ve been frying in Extra Virgin Olive Oil for years and it seems like if any Trans Fat Carcinogens come about due to the high temperature like you said the antioxidants in the Olive Oil should offset any harmful effects. I think there is still more extensive research that needs to be done on Olive Oil and cooking with it.
You say high fructose corn syrup is worst, because it's a 50:50 ratio of glucose and fructose. Which doesn't make sense because: 1) ordinary sucrose is also a fixed 50:50 ratio, therefore should be as bad 2) actually the ratio in HIGH FRUCTOSE corn syrup is skewed towards fructose, which is more detrimental to the body, and that's why HFCS is considered worse (as far as I understand it)
Actually I was wrong about fructose content in HFCS. The most commonly used variants are 55 (percentage of fructose) and 42. So confusingly HFCS can have less fructose than glucose. All in all it isn't a significant difference from sucrose, so I don't get why HFCS gets singled out as exceptionally bad. (while agreeing that both are bad)
Apparently fructose is worse than glucose because it makes the liver work harder than glucose, it can increase triglycerides in the blood and can increase the risk of metabolic syndrome and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, according to Healthline.
Disagree fiber is the worst thing it should’ve been the first thing to avoid not the most important thing to avoid. There are many people on the carnivore diet that never eat fiber like me I have perfect bm. You have to heal your gut from mouth to……. And you can’t do that when you’re stressing out your system with fiber
Maybe a moderate amount of fiber with lots of water can be helpful, -- but too much fiber wreaks havoc on most people, and the medical community seems to have no clue about it.
You are a treasure! Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us. I wish I could find a doctor in my area who had even a tiny fraction of the knowledge you have.

I mean how about the symptoms and the pathophysiology of this disease?
Great video but just a word about processed meats which have been laughingly described as a class 1 carcinogen. Just to give you an idea, the chance of any adult contracting colon cancer has been calculated to be 4.3 per cent. Someone eating a lot of processed meats has a 16 per cent higher chance of colon cancer. 16 per cent of 4.3 is 0.688%. Therefore if you stuff yourself with bacon sandwiches on a daily basis for your whole life your chance of getting colon cancer rises by way less than 1 per cent. Compare this with smoking tobacco where the mortality rate is something like 50 per cent of those who smoke.
The 16% is an average. The data shows that the effects are dose dependent. If you eat excessive amounts of processed meats, your extra risk will be a lot higher than 16%. Also, eating unhealthily affects more than just colon cancer. It lowers life expectancy through many pathways.
@@carl13579 actually, processed meats are probably fine. No one has come up with any conclusive evidence that they will cause cancer, particularly as part of a low carb diet. I'm happy to eat some bacon and ham from time to time as part of a healthy diet.

I read that and then looked out over the crowd of humans and I saw many sickly looking Obese people with big pot bellies, greasy oily skin with a pasty complexion, many with acne. And many were stuffing their faces with Cotton Candy and eating ‘Hot Dogs on a Stick’ and drinking Big Gulp type drinks. ……… We share nearly 99% the same DNA with Chimpanzees and nearly 98% The same DNA with Gorillas. And their moms aren’t feeding them Cap-N-Crunch, Coco Pebbles, Froot Loops, Sugar Frosted Flakes, sugary donuts, sweet coffee drinks, and other assorted junk food.

The worst thing that happened is most people no longer cook their own food due to everybody working. They buy fast and prepared food.
It's not just that. People who don't or no longer work seem to eat microwaveable meals or even what my mother called "convenience foods" back in the 1960s (hamburger helper, or other such meals made from a box with added proteins). I've run into a lot of people, including retirees and stay-at-home Moms who call THOSE "home cooked meals". That, or eat in fast food restaurants.
I'm weird. I start with vegetables and meat; maybe rice or pasta. I'm eating the 1970s version of a diabetic diet. The current "GI index" thing seems to emphasize boxed or frozen meals.
The problem is parents don't teach their kid to cook these days.

Great video! I am 52, I had a colonoscopy as a preventative measure ordered by my primary. They removed a precancerous polyp.

It is an easy way to prevent colon cancer when you get older.

So, basically, everything I've been eating, I have to cut down or out. It's so hard eating healthy when you're stuck in a bad eating habit. I don't sleep well, and I've noticed some signs of pre-diabetes, unfortunately. Watching this has reminded me to keep trying.
If your health is really important, you can find a personal trainer or nutrition coach who can help motivate you and keep you accountable. Eating healthy is a matter of discipline and dedication.
This guy didn't even tell you why or how much less probable it is anyways. "The higher the risk" does not mean much
You have 2 roads you can go down. 1st keep doing what your doing, then yrs later when your in a hospital bed wish you didn't.

Because processed food tastes great, and is relatively cheap and low effort to get / make therefore sells a lot.

The real cause of colon cancer is sedentary lifestyle and uncontrolled stress and anxiety, at least solely focusing on diet won't tell you the whole picture. My family and I are from south east Asia where we live we don't eat bread or corn syrup. I lost one family member to colon cancer and another just had a colon surgery, neither of them ate bread or even had access to corn syrup, though both were under heavy stress and were very sedentary (one was an overweight office worker and a heavy drinker and smoker and one is disabled and does not drink)
South East Asian countries still eat a lot of carbohydrates though. I lived in Indonesia, visited Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand and ate a lot of carbs there. Rice, rice noodles, buns, very sweet tea or coffee... And people nowadays eat way too often, spiking their blood sugar too much. We have to be careful. But you're right that being sedentary, drinking in excess and being over stressed are bad as well.
@@Raphanne Where I am from Laos the locals eat mainly sticky rice which has the highest sugar content of all the rice species, rice farmers eat an amazing amount of rice each day though very few are over weight, rice farming is hard work they easily burn it all off, whereas city people walk less than 5km per day and hardly ever sweat but they still eat a lot, so I think carbs are fine if you live a physically active life

@@sugameltpastriescoffee7186 I don't think anyone on this planet can avoid high fructose corn syrup unless their really wealthy because, for example, coke and every other softdrinks central ingredients is high fructose corn syrup. I doubt anyone even from south east asia have never drank a bottle of coke or any type of softdrinks. Unless you snack on only real fruits and eat plain vegetables and cook your own grass fed meats in your backyard, it's an ingredient that's really hard to avoid. Something that wealthy people can do because they treat certain food as "commoner's or peasants food" and thus they don't eat and drink what most people do. If your wealthy then I can understand but if your from a poor background, I'm pretty sure that high fructose corn syrup can certainly be a part of your diet. Read every ingredient of every food you eat. It's one of the main ingredients of most processed foods.
I pretty much figure living life at all causes cancer at this point. How to avoid cancer:
1. Don't eat
2. Don't drink anything, even water is contaminated now
3. Don't breathe
4. Don't touch anything
5. Don't ingest any substance at all actually
6. Sleep but don't sleep too much or too little
7. Don't look at things
8. Stay cold and hot simultaneously
9. Exercise every minute
10. Get enough rest.
11. Avoid the sun but also get enough sun.
12. Avoid humans but also interact with them.
13. Avoid technology.

What worries me, Dr. Hansen, is that no one seems to want to talk about health anymore. On sports radio, of all places, they were talking about this. Growing up in the 80's-90's we got nutrition hammered into our little skulls, some of it dubious (food pyramid), but at least we were told to move and not to eat junk food. The radio hosts were saying they ask their kids about nutrition and good health, and they have no clue, no interest. They aren't hearing it at school. They don't see it on TV, or hear it on the radio (OK, I'm showing my age). It really worries me. My father grew up in the 60's and ate a typical 60's meat and potatoes diet, probably without a lot of processed food. Now he has diabetes. I grew up in the 80's with fruit loops and TV dinners, which we usually didn't get because we couldn't afford them - but I'm trying to improve my health because I'm pre-diabetic. My kids eat absolutely terrible diets because they have junk shoved on them from everywhere - usually for free. Where will they be in 20-30 years?
Medical tech will advance, people will live longer
enroll them into martial arts or sports, they will be peer pressured into eating healthy
Food pyramid they taught us in the 90s was wrong. A 50% grain diet is what prolly caused most of the diabetes lol
Not true at all.
To answer your last question, they'll be sick in many ways and probably obese like I was. Try to turn them around now before the damage is done. Everything in moderation.

Hello from a fellow New Hampshirite!
Well…… in many of the European countries, and in Denmark we don’t ruin the grain like they do in the states… most of the bread is actually much healthier. I don’t know why they remove most of the healthy parts in some countries, but in my country mostly we don’t.
Because most people like white bread, pasta and rice instead of the whole grain variety. Most people = ignorant

@@oliviamartini9700 that’s not the point … and we have the same in all over Europe and there’s a lot of poverty in Europe too - so if we can get the more healthier food produced why can’t you do that as basic food in the States
And a lot of the times it’s not actually more expensive to eat healthier food. I never drink soda or alcohol. I drink tapwater so that doesn’t cost me anything so I can spend on the food instead
And if you learn how to make your own food from the start, it’s actually a lot cheaper and the vegetables can go a long way

Great info, thanks! Even those of us who ‘know’ these things benefit from reminders. Not only are young people increasingly developing colon (and other digestive cancers), they are suffering Crohn’s and IBS at alarmingly increasing rates. Along with everything you mentioned, I believe glyphosate (Roundup) is a key culprit. (I also wonder if it’s responsible for the fairly recent ‘epidemic’ of those sensitive to gluten).
Glyphosate is deadly.
Not just glyphosate, but many herbicides and pesticides. Glyphosate though is really bad because its super water soluable so its almost everywhere. These people need to all go to prison. It's also amazing there are still peeople out there saying these are safe chemicals. It's just so absurd.
not just glyphosate but Endocrine disruptors like phthalates, microplastics, bisphenols (BPA, BPS) etc etc
There is research that supports that hypothesis. The true sufferers of Celiac is actually drastically smaller than what people are being advised.
I’m currently eating gluten free for the most part (I’m not as strict when it comes to products that may contain or have traces of gluten) as I’m not sure if I might have a mild sensitivity. I don’t seem to absorb iron well (while I don’t have anemia, I have low iron saturation and have been taking supplements since 2019, as well as done rounds of iv iron twice). I also find I’m less bloated when not eating gluten (unless I eat too many carbs or another food that can cause bloating).
Forgot to mention recent bloodwork shows my blood sugar is high and I am pre-diabetic. I’m not overweight and as I stated, my eating habits are healthier than most.… Thank you for any thoughts or suggestions you may have.
Blood type diet by Peter D'adamo much more than just a diet. Check the consensus among forums or groups.
Diet and lifestyle impact health. Drinking drinks with HFCS is def a major impactor and there are many thin obese people. So we can not use that as an indicator.

I still have it at times, however have also started to use allulose as well. Also, how many carbs do you get from the plant foods? All carbs, even the healthier ones, turn into sugar through digestion. That’s not to say that carbs are necessarily bad, just that like everything else, too much may not be a good thing.
Thank you Dr. Mike for letting us know more about this very important topic!
I follow a few TH-camrs who have gotten cancer and they are barely in their 30’s. It’s very scary and confusing since some some are vegan while others are not, so you are not sure what is causing this cancer to arise.
Sometimes I think it’s cause by the vaccine shots. Just my opinion! Praying for your nieces husband.
Their genes.
@@rushy7701 prior before the COVID shot nobody was getting cancer?
@@BobbyM7847Not at the rates we have over the last 3 years. The V's induce IgG4 antibodies and suppress the P53 gene, which are a huge culprit in these new cancers.
Lots of correlations but little direct evidence in sugar, carbs, etc. Exercise and eat a balanced, nutrient dense, diet is key. Full on restrictions always fail and is unrealistic.
@@RickMartinTH-cam glucose IS a nutrient....
It may be that people AREN'T eating fiber when they eat a lot of refined carbs.
A great introduction to this issue. My only criticism of the video is the use of unnecessary sound effects. They take away from the otherwise excellent presentation.
I eat bread most days, I have for a few decades ( I’m a very healthy 59 year old woman)
BUT…I don’t purchase bread at the store. I make my own sourdough. Sourdough rye, sourdough einkorn, seeded sourdough. I make a loaf a week, slice it and freeze it. Pull out a slice in the morning and have it with breakfast.
Beyond that, I have lived an extremely healthy lifestyle, plant predominate, mostly pescatarian diet since the 80’s.
No heath issues ( except for genetic Familial hypercholesterolemia that is under control) , I work out regularly and maintain a healthy weight.
I don’t understand why the general population thinks it’s so hard to live healthy 🤷♀️
*A friend of mine has a daughter in her early 40’s, very overweight and just diagnosed with Colon cancer.
Sad.
This is the best nutritional video I've seen this year. I gave up sugar, cheese, processed flour foods, and empty calories in general two years ago. I feel great. I've used keto and intermittent fasting to get from 190 lbs to 150 lbs while retaining muscle strength. The only grain I eat with any regularity is rye based (WASA crackers) which can be good if you eat them with something else, and they have a lot of good fiber. I don't consume trans fats or seed oils. I've been doing everything right except I stocked up on a lot of canned corned beef because I love it for breakfast and it's keto friendly, but it keeps for years so I'll just spread out the consumption of it over time.
How long did it take you to get used to it?
KETO KILLS! Refining is the problem. NOT CARBS!
@@vincentvega3747 The only part of this I actually had to get used to was getting off of sugar. That was strength of will and determination, but it only took a few days.
@@herbbowler2461 Well, back that up with rational thought not by yelling with your keyboard. I feel better than ever.

I am NOT YELLING!!!
As anybody with grade 2 education understands. It's called emphasizing.
If you don't like.
DON'T READ!
I'm 78 and healthy. But I've read that I shouldn't get a colonoscopy due to a higher risk of perforation and the anesthesia risk at my age.
I agree with that. At your age not worth the risk probably.
Now they can test your poop instead. Same as doing a colonoscopy.
Yes, stool test is first step. In my case, fecal test was positive for blood particles, did colonoscopy (did not know about the danger at that time), nothing found, 1 year later, positive result again. Quit alcohol, almost quit soda, almost no processed food, replaced vegetable oil with coconut oil and butter. Another one year gone and now two fecal tests negetive in a row. Some fasting, slightly less fiber than before and unprocessed meats too.
Whats perforation?
@@troylollysaf9311 When the scope tears a hole in the colon. It happens enough that everyone should weigh the risks, and it increases with obesity and age.
So, after watching this video, here’s my big question: if this is all accurate, shouldn’t 98% of the world’s population have colon cancer already? Only a very small percentage of the world’s population, specifically from highly developed countries, have resources enough to avoid sugars, white rice, potatoes, and processed food altogether. Shouldn’t everyone from asia, india, and almost every single person in the united states have cancer already?
Just because one has risk factors, even all of them, does not mean they're GOING to get it. Google absolute vs relative risk, or understanding risk factor percentages.
People could be taking fiber or antioxidant supplements which would lower their risk for overt cancer. Like the Doc said that keeps it at bay (the damaged cancerous cells).
It’s all pretty much Russian Roulette as to who will get an illness/what illness.
He’s talking about environmental factors, which play a huge role, but there are other factors that contribute to cancer. Some people also are more predisposed than others and some people are even able to fight off carcinogens.
Many factors at play. That’s why the rate of incidence isn’t consistent.
@@MichelleAntonia If the logic held true, then countries that eat a lot of white rice, like Japan, China, Korea, should be topping in colon cancer.
From what I've seen, Japan is pretty high on the list, but it's not in the top 5. And it's also got a pretty heavy drinking culture along with smoking being popular
One of the men I thought was most likely to be the last man standing, an athlete, healthy eater, and low body weight. I was shocked to learn he passed at 66 of Colon Cancer, as he was one of the healthiest people I knew. It can happen to anyone; the best advice is to do all you can. We have no guarantees.
why do we need a gross farting noise in the middle of this video?
It was a tummy growling :)
Yeah that came out of nowhere 🤔
😂😂😂😂😂
So we’re offended by farts these days
You just scared the living daylights out of me.
Thanks for this info doc...could u tell us by chance if these mRNA shots has any link to the increase in cancers lately? There seem to be a massive increase in cancers and auto immune diseases since mass vaccinations took place...could u do some follow ups on this topic please....
Covid vaccines aren't even 2 years old. It takes years to develop cancer.
yes it has
50% of m rrna V'd with 2+ shots now have IgG4 antibodies. IgG4-RD is an autoimmune disorder which signals IMMUNE ESCAPE ( body doesn't recognize the spike proteins as invaders ) when infected with CVD. It can cause all sorts of different cancers. The V's also suppress the P53 gene which are.highly important in the bodies function in fighting cancer. We don't know yet if they these IgG4 antibodies will go away or not over the years. With each new infection the antibodies go up. Scary stuff.
Vegetable oil is the biggest killer in modern society, and the worst thing about it is... it's EVERYWHERE. Even in advertised healthy foods like hummus, it's like 30% vegetable oil.
I’m doing the carnivore cleanse this month.. just eating meat for World Carnivore month to reset. Been doing carnivore on and off since 2017. I cut back on a lot of the crappy food and got a battery of heart tests - 0 calcium score at 53. My little brother died of colon cancer so I’m trying to be here to take care of my aging mom who is also carnivore with me this month. Good luck everyone
What about those lovely cruciferous vegetables? I’ve heard they’re a great preventative for colon cancer. Once a week I make a big pot of soup with collards, cabbage, and greens. I sip on it all day and feel so good.
@@penumbra1450 Haha! Your body gets used to it. Broccoli is my nemesis. 🥦
@@penumbra1450 I eat a lot of cruciferous veggies, and this made me LOL 😆
Those vegetables are incredibly irritating to my insides. I refuse to eat kale ever again.
Some healthy foods are simply too hard to tolerate.
@@microbios8586 I don’t eat kale. It gives me a headache. I’ve read that it’s because of the high iron content.

No sugar, minimal complex carbs, high protein, healthy fats… Perfect weight for my height and age. Moderate exercise. is there something I’m missing?? no drinking no smoking a prescription drugs… No one in my family… And I have a high A1c count. 12 to 18 hours of intermittent fasting daily. Just clarifying for all the people who think they are doctors out there, minus the people who actually have helpful suggestions.
And also remember, just because a wrap looks healthy and lean doesn’t mean is super healthy. Many coffee shops offer food that comes in a bag; such as their chicken which looks lean but it is already cooked and who knows what type of oils and chemicals it has.
Unfortunately these days most people don’t even have the time to cook some chicken at home.
How much of these cancers and illnesses are also further exacerbated by our environment? Plastic homes, vehicles, containers, packaging, etc. Our entire housing here in the US is just environmental aromatase producing containers. No wonder we see this huge uptick with new cancer formation in millennial and gen Z. Plastics are everywhere and all we can do is try and reduce our exposure till our bodies have had ample time through several generations to adapt to plastic waste in our bodies
Thank you for this information...Finally, you are talking about lowering sugar and carbohydrate consumption because this is not just about colon cancer but also other types of cancer and other diseases...Just take the average consumption of sugar per year now and 100 years ago. It is crazy the consumption of sugars has increased tremendously. :(
I take ! kilo of sugar every 6 or 7 weeks, mainly in my tea. My diet is low in fats, but I'm not fanatical about it. I never eat white bread, always wholemeal, and quite a lot of it. I gave up fried food 25 years ago, as I consider it unhealthy. Tobacco is out and alcohol severely limited. I avoid smoke whenever possible and dont eat smoked fish, but if offered a kipper once in a blue moon, I would eat it. Never eat processed meat, rarely other kinds of meat, but often eat sardines or canned pilchards with lots of fruit and veg, plus a pint of full cream milk every day. Porage oats highly recommended. I dont do fasting, but at 85 i'm still a healthy weight and can wear the same clothes that were made to measure 60 years ago. I take lots of exercise including 4-mile runs.
Very healthy! I'd still avoid the oats though as they're heavily sprayed these days with herbicides, unless organic. Go easy on the milk too.... it's very mucus forming.
Quit sugar

Liver is one of the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet. It contains significant amounts of folate, iron, vitamin B, vitamin A, and copper. Eating a single serving of liver can help you meet your daily recommended amount of all of these vitamins and minerals, reducing your risk of nutrient deficiency

RIP to the celebrities who died young of Colon cancer, including Chadwick Boseman and Billy Kametz
As a colon cancer survivor (stage 3) you don't want to go through this believe me between the surgery, the chemo, the colostomy bag your life is turned upside down get screened early don't put it off til it's too late !
How you are now man?
I hope all the best
After watching many of these channels the theme is don't eat sugared or processed foods and avoid all seed oils. Well, having checked out just about everything on the current shop shelves that rules out 95% of the stuff in shops including even tinned foods.
Nothing about young people here in my comment...my mother passed away from cc 24 yrs ago...shortly after her passing I was in my docs office for a routine physical...he read my family history sheet and questioned me about my mother...he then stated that recently published at that time in the NE Journal of Med (as I recall) was a 20 yr study by Sloane Kettering (again as I recall)...the study showed concrete evidence that daily 81mg aspirin regimine killed pre cancerous polyps in the colon...he looked me square in the eye snd told me that I was to start the regime that day and to never ever stop...and secondly to get a colonoscopy every 5 yrs...so far so good...God bless you Doc probably saved my life...
I think intermittent fasting is really important and something people overlook these days. And also, taking ayurvedic triphala powder every night after meal will definitely help in cleansing the intestine.
Yep, based on unbiased, sold verifiable evidence in robust double blind experimental studies, not folklore, right?
I'm 76. During childhood, we were fed the four major food groups on a regular basis: sugar, refined flour, Hi-C for vitamins, and saturated fats. During most of my adulthood, I consumed the major food groups for adults: alcohol, sweet and low (saccharine), white flour, Crisco oil, broccoli with tons of cheese and margarine. Many of us stopped smoking about 20 years ago and no longer do drugs, not much anyway. We're all deaf from too much loud rock and fat from the 3 bags of Doritos we ate after toking. It's been an interesting experience.
What's your point?

Kids sitting on their butts all day playing video games, watching TH-cam, Social media....much more than previous decades likely is a big factor too
I had multiple health problem primarily the frequent tonsillitis, migraine, eosinophilia, running nose, drowsiness, frequent symptoms of cold, fewer, acidity, fatty liver, bloating, high cholesterol, elevated bilirubin count, irritable bowl syndrome, leaky gut syndrome, boarder sugar, frequent tooth aches. All gone in one go 20 years ago with liver and gut cleanse. Gone are the medicine too I used to consume around 5/6 of them daily. In 20 years I am yet to get cold fewer or allergies and absolutely no cholesterol, sugar level has crashed and so is my weight.
You are the best doctor and our body has the amazing ability to heal itself. Believe in self healing and keep listening to very mild weak signals the body sends when it’s in trouble.
I started changing my diet this year. I eat chia pudding everyday as a snack. It’s just a good way to get fiber in.
Thank you for covering this important topic, Dr. Hansen! I know that you are a big advocate for intermittent fasting. I live without a gallbladder and was told by my surgeons and family doctor that I need to eat small portions of food every 2-3 hours. Otherwise, the bile will damage my intestines. Does it mean that I cannot do intermittent fasting or will my body adapt and release bile only during the window when I am eating? I would appreciate your opinion! Thank you in advance.
I had my gallbladder removed 26 years ago and have been doing intermittent fasting along with a ketovore lifestyle for the last 10. My blood work is all excellent, I completely reversed T-2 diabetes , metabolic syndrome, and lost 85lbs. NO issues with gut at all! Don't worry, you will be much healthier without eating all the time, just eat like the doc. says!
@@marymc6823
Similar story here. Gallbladder out 24 years ago. I have done IF for many years but my diet is terrible. However, never had any issues at all with indigestion or gut issues.
U do not need to eat every 2-3 hrs
Idk why they would tell u that. I know so so many ppl with gall bladders out and they eat when they want. I’ve never heard an MD say that.
Nuh, I just concluded that we have zero control of our health, we just try but it's all luck. I have seen drunkards feeling sorry for a guy who didn't drink but died of liver cancer, seen people abuse their bodies to the max with smoking and alcohol but they are out living the careful guys, it's all up to God.
I think you're right, I see old guys who lived the 'rockstar' lifestyle for decades including heavy smoking and drugs/alcohol and are doing great at 70/80, and I see people like my neighbour who was young fit and healthy die from cancer. I feel like so much is beyond our control
Yeah, there's people who live unhealthy lives who live forever, and there's the reverse. But what are the TRENDS of those who live unhealthy lives? Come on... These are simple questions, but nobody thinks hard enough for two actual seconds about them, but they'll shrug and go "it's all 50/50, hurr durr"

The Adventist Health Study found that those who didn't eat meat were significantly less likely to have multiple types of cancer, including colon cancer. They were also less likely to have ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity.
I know strict Adventists that are obese and had colon cancer. Watch Dr. Ken Berry in TH-cam to inform yourself.
My dad was an Adventist and a strict vegetarian, and he died from colon cancer at age 62. He got the diagnosis 13 months before he died.
I should point out a mistake here. Smoking point in oils is not the same as the point of break down. Just because you see smoke it doesn’t mean that the oil is being hydrogenated or oxidized or becoming carcinogenic. Olive oil has a lower smoking point than other oils but it’s one of the most stable ones. It also has antioxidants. The only oils that cause cancer are the ones that are used and reused like in restaurants. To know more see Adam Ragusea video on this.
I had to question that as well. I’ve been frying in Extra Virgin Olive Oil for years and it seems like if any Trans Fat Carcinogens come about due to the high temperature like you said the antioxidants in the Olive Oil should offset any harmful effects. I think there is still more extensive research that needs to be done on Olive Oil and cooking with it.
You say high fructose corn syrup is worst, because it's a 50:50 ratio of glucose and fructose. Which doesn't make sense because:
1) ordinary sucrose is also a fixed 50:50 ratio, therefore should be as bad
2) actually the ratio in HIGH FRUCTOSE corn syrup is skewed towards fructose, which is more detrimental to the body, and that's why HFCS is considered worse (as far as I understand it)
Actually I was wrong about fructose content in HFCS. The most commonly used variants are 55 (percentage of fructose) and 42. So confusingly HFCS can have less fructose than glucose. All in all it isn't a significant difference from sucrose, so I don't get why HFCS gets singled out as exceptionally bad. (while agreeing that both are bad)
Apparently fructose is worse than glucose because it makes the liver work harder than glucose, it can increase triglycerides in the blood and can increase the risk of metabolic syndrome and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, according to Healthline.
Disagree fiber is the worst thing it should’ve been the first thing to avoid not the most important thing to avoid. There are many people on the carnivore diet that never eat fiber like me I have perfect bm. You have to heal your gut from mouth to……. And you can’t do that when you’re stressing out your system with fiber
Maybe a moderate amount of fiber with lots of water can be helpful, -- but too much fiber wreaks havoc on most people, and the medical community seems to have no clue about it.

It's such a good content doctor. I saw the younger people in Indonesia had bad lifestyle, they drunk alcohol and soda, smoked, and eat fast food. And from that, they didn't did exercise well. So doctor, how the diet that effective to reduce the risk factors of coloreactal disease? And how it also can happened with younger people.

He should do a follow up video that explains what you can eat to prevent colon cancer
Had a precancerous polyp removed. I’m 28 and was having symptoms. Colonoscopy saved my future self.
What were your symptoms ?
Your best lecture so far. Very informative and exceptional. 👍
Glad you think so!
Has anyone ever thought of asking how many of these "young people" dying of colon cancer had themselves, for one reason or another, poisonnated? 🤔
Hpv is also a factor. I am surprised he does not mention men need to get regular checkups as well for this reason and the ones he mentions.
Great video but just a word about processed meats which have been laughingly described as a class 1 carcinogen. Just to give you an idea, the chance of any adult contracting colon cancer has been calculated to be 4.3 per cent. Someone eating a lot of processed meats has a 16 per cent higher chance of colon cancer. 16 per cent of 4.3 is 0.688%. Therefore if you stuff yourself with bacon sandwiches on a daily basis for your whole life your chance of getting colon cancer rises by way less than 1 per cent. Compare this with smoking tobacco where the mortality rate is something like 50 per cent of those who smoke.
The 16% is an average. The data shows that the effects are dose dependent. If you eat excessive amounts of processed meats, your extra risk will be a lot higher than 16%. Also, eating unhealthily affects more than just colon cancer. It lowers life expectancy through many pathways.
@@carl13579 actually, processed meats are probably fine. No one has come up with any conclusive evidence that they will cause cancer, particularly as part of a low carb diet. I'm happy to eat some bacon and ham from time to time as part of a healthy diet.

I really wish high fructose corn syrup was illegal in the U.S.

Simple and great advice! I have been researching and experimenting with diet for over 20 years, and I have to agree. Well done

And many were stuffing their faces with Cotton Candy and eating ‘Hot Dogs on a Stick’ and drinking Big Gulp type drinks. ……… We share nearly 99% the same DNA with Chimpanzees and nearly 98% The same DNA with Gorillas. And their moms aren’t feeding them Cap-N-Crunch, Coco Pebbles, Froot Loops, Sugar Frosted Flakes, sugary donuts, sweet coffee drinks, and other assorted junk food. Humans suffer from literally thousands of diseases. Our Great Ape Cousins are pretty much disease free except for bacterial and viral infections.

And animals in the wild rarely have dental problems. They have healthy teeth and gums until they die. Goes to show its all our diet and food destroying us.
