The production value is out of this world! So happy you mentioned Gil Carvalho, this community needs more people like you two. Now, just waiting for this channel to gain the recognition it should have.
Are you kidding me? We asked for a summary and clearer understanding on seed oils and you deliver a review that blows away my already high expectations that I have for you! How is that possible??? I have submitted adoption papers for you to sign. Is that inappropriate? Don’t think about it, just sign them so I can go on morning runs and swims with you and enjoy amazing whole plant-based food post exercise. Seriously, you make me so proud to be a vegan! THANK YOU!!!
30 years ago I started taking a product called Dale Alexander's cod liver oil emulsified and flavored cod liver oil and it was pretty palatable yes tell Alexander was considered the cod father
As well as the oils blended into almost every processed food and packaged bread. Almost every packaged food is Grain Powder, Oil, Salt/Sugar, flavorings and colors.
Chris. You’re my favourite channel. Your content is above and beyond. It’s pleasurable to watch. I have so much respect for what you do. I can’t imagine what it takes behind the camera for you to produce this kind of content. Please keep it up. It is valued
I loved loved loved the section about heating oils. You should take advantage of TH-cam shorts and rereleasing sections as individual videos that are 6-11 minutes to bring more views to your channel and make it more accessible as all the information is amazing. Just most people don’t have the attention span or time to sit thru it all in one sitting. Keep up the great work.
@@im2old4this2 Yes, and they can be a great gateway into these longer videos if they want more details. However, many will also look at the shorts and just label it as propaganda if they aren't done properly.
@@Ermude10 Longer videos are the point here, but shorts are the ones people more often watch. Especially if made on makeup (the hint is free!). This time I had take another look here because this "clip" is so full of material I thought I'd missed some points and I had. I've said it before and ill say it again: these videos are getting better and better and the level on fun is still there! No hate towards the opposite side, but a constant hunger for facts ❤️
I must admit I've started watching YT shorts. It started as curiosity then I found some interesting and then the Algorithm started feeding me better ones. Now I can use up 90 mins in the blink of an eye.
Your videos are a Godsend. You do a wonderful job separating fact from fiction in an easily digestible format that most people can understand. Very, very well done.
love this video, love how much you've learned to teach us, that DHA/DPA instead of DHA/EPA was scary! I took that exact supplement for 2 months before I found a liquid version made in Canada where I'm from that has a Plant Based Omega 3 1000mg EPA+DHA by Nature's Way, NurtaVege and I didn't know that myself! I only consume EVOO because of the polyphenol content is higher than most oils and that would help to combat inflammation, where I'm under the impression that ultra-processed seed oils contribute to inflammation, there wasn't any talk in this episode of this subject, possibly a future topic.
Another great video debunking some of the views I held against seed oils. So much information to digest and I will have to watch this video a few times as well as the ones you have attached to get a full understanding. As someone else has commented below, please don't stop making videos, your videos are so informative.
Your struggle to find a vegan omega-3 supplement is very relatable. You forgot to mention how it's even more annoying when a lot of companies will set the serving size at two capsules to boost the label numbers. Thanks for another great video.
Serving size should be abolished, or at least only provided as a complement to a standard measure such as per 100 grams. It's impossible to compare foods otherwise...
I have found a few vegan omega 3 supplements, I don't have the resources to double check the accuracy of the label so I won't specifically recommend any, but they claim to have the long chain omega 3 fatty acids that my diet naturally lacks so they hopefully will help prevent certain health issues. The one I have been using is a 2 capsule serving.
Excellent video as always. I absolutely love your channel. Since the beginning of the year, I have turned around my diet and lifestyle dramatically. While I stumbled upon you after this shift, your phenomenal and cited content has led me to better understand myself, my body, and my diet. Furthermore, said citations have grown my book collection on health and nutrition exponentially. Thank you for this absolute gem of a service you are doing.
Today was the perfect Christmas with my herd and ending my day watching this was the icing on the cake. I missed this vid when it was uploaded last year but the Lord knew I NEEDED this info now. Chris, thank you (as well as your team & lovely wife) for the work you do. I’ve learned so much from you and your guests. I hope your holiday was filled with Love, joy, and laughter. Hugs to all y’all.
So it took me this long to comment because not only did I watch it to the end (bits and pieces while cooking suppers), but I watched sections again! My take-away from this video was a greater respect for you. I really appreciate your desire to present scientific information, and not enter into debate. Thank you for the information. I need to restart taking an Omega 3 supplement so as to reduce the risk of age onset brain issues. I have recently cut the amount of oil I use in cooking (i. e. 1/2 tsp instead of 1 tbsp oil for a 4 portion stir-fry) and without even noticing, lost 15 pounds. Not the topic of this video, but quantity of oil certainly has an impact on overall health. Susan.
Thanks, Susan! Wow, 15 pounds from just cutting back on oil is great! Congrats. I’m still a little unsettled on omega 3 supplements but I guess everyone is. Simon Hill just interviewed Bill Harris for his podcast and I’m eager to hear what they said.
I especially love that you bring in what many other influencers are talking about and address a lot of the things they're saying. I used to follow many of those influencers as a start on my health journey, but like you mentioned, the thing always at the back of my mind is how do they know what they're actually talking about. I never pressed where they get the data from and just assumed that they were trying to help people with what they thought they knew. I'm glad to have stumbled on your stuff, and for someone to openly admit that their a fan of Veritasium, I KNEW I'm in the right place. I'd love to see you do a collab with Veritasium or SmarterEveryDay. That'd be so cool. OR, one on Blue Zones and their diets would be amazing! Either way, I'm so glad I found you. XD
Thanks, Hamster Cart! It’s hard to know what someone’s motivation is, but I get the feeling that in the case of Chris Knobbe, he really is trying to help people and truly believes seed oils are a major cause of disease.
With so many conflicts of interest, preconceptions, biased content, misinformation, and the overwhelming information that can be found online about the subject, you have brought a fresh perspective with all relevant information in an entertaining, captivating way. Big thanks for your hard work, your intellectual honesty, and your unbiased opinion.🙂🙂
The statements made starting at the 2:45 mark that attempt to use history to discredit those who prefer to use the term "seed oil" rather than the more general term "vegetable oil" is more than a little disingenuous. First off, oils from grain seeds, beans, or vegetables go back a lot longer than a few centuries. It is more likely 5 to 10 millennia. However, those statements ignore the fact that the processing technology applied currently to extract oil from grains and vegetables to use for dietary purposes is far, far different than the historical process for extraction. The historic extraction process was basically cold pressing, similar to the preferred method for higher-quality olive oil. For only the last 100 years have solvent extraction, primarily using hexane, and hydrogenation been the almost universally applied methods for producing dietary oils from grains, beans, and other plant-based inputs. My inclination, based solely on observational correlation to health problem trends, is that these oils, whether they are called vegetable oil, seed oil, or something else, are probably not the issue. People have been consuming these oils for thousands and thousands of years with few historic indications of having health problems at all similar to the current obesity and cardiovascular disease situation. The health problems that the seed oil opponents raise as concerns appear to have started to develop in the mid-1900s, rising dramatically from the 1960s onward as industrial hydrogenation dominated seed/vegetable oil production in order to get alternative cooking fats to market in response to the widely accepted, but mostly unproven belief that dietary saturated fats are a primary cause of heart disease. Now, we are where we are. Widespread, large-scale consumption of modern seed/vegetable oils and increasing rates of obesity, heart disease, and other chronic health conditions. In the end, I realize that even if I am right, my observational correlation approach doesn't actually prove causation. One point that is also relevant in the seed/vegetable oil vs animal fats debate is that people were also consuming animal fats for thousands and thousands of years with few historic indications of having health problems at all similar to the current obesity and cardiovascular disease situation. I have yet to see any reliable information as to the proportions of meat-based vs plant-based vs seafood-based foods that made up various historical diets. All we really know is that the variety in people's diets historically tended to be far greater than current diets. That is a point that both the plant-based and meat-based diet advocates consciously ignore in promoting their separate biases. After all that, I still think there was a lot of useful info in the video. However, I still didn't see anything that could be considered a definitive answer on the oils issue and certainly nothing indicating convincingly that plant based on the only right answer.
This is an amazing resource and format, every video is detailed yet approachable and relevant without being "preachy" or filled with hasty certainty. KEEP IT UP!
New subscriber. Really enjoy your channel! You have criminally too few subscribers considering the quality of your content. I'm not a eating a plant only diet due some unusual health conditions and allergies. However, I really sympathize with the ethical and environmental concerns of veganism. But I also value honesty very much. It's hard to find nutrition content on TH-cam that doesn 't place ideology over open-mindedness and truth.
I am always amazed there's just well made videos on TH-cam, for free! This takes me back to childhood, watching documentaries on channels like PBS and Animal Planet. Watching this video will save me more time than going through dozens of shorter videos and reading through studies (but there's always more time for learning). You and Gil from Nutrition Made Simple! makes it so much easier for all of us and also made it much harder to listen to a lot of influencers...
Thanks! I wrestled with myself on whether I should have broken this down into smaller segments so omega 3s got their own episode, refining of oils got its own, etc....
Both of these channels are disingenuous and make videos that ignore all negative evidence. But go on, don’t take a few minutes of your time to look for yourself on the studies that are out there (that they deliberately omit).
I always look forward to seeing the books you reference in these videos. Since finding your channel a few months ago I've read: The Dorito Effect Food Politics Nourish How Not to Die The Telomere Effect Animal, Vegetable, Junk Plus a few others I came across beforehand. Thanks for the growing book list
I always enjoy Marion Nestle's books and I like the detail in Nourish. With this video I've added Burn to the list for sure. A few others you've featured that I'm working toward are: A Traitor to His Species Pure, White, and Deadly Chickenizing Farms and Food The End of Craving Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows Missing Microbes Fiber Fueled Fast Carbs, Slow Carbs And a few more. Some of these I may have come across from other sources but I'm sure you recognize most of them.
This is an excellent video and shows many examples of just how many controversies there are in nutrition science about such a specific topic. I would love to generalize something though that I think people get way too concerned with little details and miss the bigger picture and often avoid topics regarding self responsibility. It's not just processed oils, flours and foods in general becoming more popular in modern times, it's greater intake of total calories combined with less physical activity with our ever-increasing sedentary lifestyles. This is often why no matter what diet you choose (keto, vegan, plant-based, Mediterranean, even carnivore, etc) they all are able to claim reversal of diabetic symptoms/condition. Even though they all focus on different aspects of a diet, they all result in a lower intake of calories and weightloss as a result. Weight loss ultimately reverses many symptoms of diabetes for those not permanently damaged along with a host of other benefits from not being overweight in general. We aren't ploughing our own fields anymore, or walking miles to the nearest market or school or place of employment, etc. We're a much more specialized society where we can order our food from a phone app and never having to leave our couch. We can consume 3000+ calories daily without leaving our bed or couch but we want to blame seed oils or McDonalds for our lifestyle choices. They're all important scientifically but in the populace, I often get in conversations with people who probably shouldn't be talking about min/maxing a diet to live to age 110 and focus more on a diet that will at least prevent a heart attack or stroke before age 70.
The only time I went completely no fat, no oil, I ended up sick. I added back small amounts of olive oil mainly uncooked in the form of salad dressing. All you can do is eat fruits and vegetables that you process and be cautious, extremely cautious when you step away from that.
@@OatmealTheCrazy Feel free to decide that no conclusion is appropriately drawn from my “no fats” experience. My experience remains my experience and my conclusions may apply to me only.
I went vegan many years ago but always included some fish oil because I knew I wasn't getting enough EPA/DHA. Before I changed my diet, I used to take 80ml of Lipitor because of my sky high cholesterol. I was also pre-diabetic, had serious GIRD, high blood pressure, haemorrhoids and divirticulitis. They're all gone. Excellent video, BTW. I never watch any videos that are more than 10 minutes long. So that tells you a lot. You'd have 10M subscribers if people understood the process of science and had any respect for it. A good example: today I read that the price of diabetese medication is skyrocketing and they didn't know why. Really? Because people don't know that they can save $15000/yr if they only listened to nutrition scientists and changed their diets. The pharmaceuticals know this but it's an open secret they'll take to their graves.
I can't believe I've watched 83 minutes of videos on oils and have not seen ONE REFERENCE to Dr. John McDougall. In fact, I don't think I've ever heard you mention him.
@@Viva-Longevity I have to agree with the second comment. I loved it all. Usually i fast forward videos. But I ended up watching it all because it’s such a complex topic, and you have a plethora of sources and opinions. I’m still in the fence about what is a good oil. Specially if you eat plant based. But at the end you concluded with what you do, and what could be the best alternative for vegans. Hope you keep making content. I’m always happy to see “plant chompers “ notifications :) It’s so easy to grab bullets and titles and make videos, but it’s an art to digest the actual data and present it to people of all backgrounds, and you do a really good job on that. PS: you rocked that picture in the bike!!
I rely on 2 Tbs of ground flax every day. In addition, I use cold pressed, extra virgin, organic canola oil. It's used pretty sparingly. But it blows EVOO out of the water. And it totally bypasses all of those crazy hexane claims, as well as GMO paranoia. When you're approaching a low BMI, avoiding oils is pointless for a 100% plant based diet. As for this talk about french fries being so deadly... I AGREE! But french fries ≠ "vegetable oil". The fact is, they are very high in 3-MCPD which absolutely is toxic. But that's a separate issue. Cooking on an open flame is not so great. And high temperature frying is not good either. It's a problem with cooking techniques, not the actual oil itself.
@@christianfoster1665 likely in regards to omega 3 levels. Canola oil is packed with ALA where evoo has very little. To be fair though, evoo is mainly prized for its antioxidant properties.
I believe that's from the foods that get mixed with the oil after each episode of frying, no? Potatoes, for example. And they brown at lower temps than the oil does.
I am not an expert but this fatty acid oxidation product is concerning to me and why I don't eat deep fried seed oil. "Trans-4-hydroxy-2-hexenal (4-HHE) and trans-4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) are secondary lipid peroxidation products in edible oils, which are cytotoxic and genotoxic. They could covalently bind with protein, phospholipids and DNA, further disrupting the normal function of liver, lung and brain." Probably refried oils are ok.@@Viva-Longevity
It's hilarious to me (but kinda scary) how many people in the comment sections think they're absolute experts at everything and are quick to personally attack you. It's like, are you listening to everything being said in this video or are you only hearing what you *want* to hear. I have a degree in Cybersecurity, but I am by no means an expert in the field yet and subject matter in the field is constantly changing. There are people in the field that have been at it for 20 years that are still learning new things every day. Your video removed all the fluff and hype for me around seed oils. I'm 6 months into eating healthy (Mostly Med diet after my doctor's recommendation to lower my cholesterol) and exercising and I'm starting to get further into nutrition, and I've found so much conflicting evidence about seed oils. I also just found Gil Carvalho and found him to be non-sensational and take a more skeptical approach. Also I love your sense of humor.
So glad to see someone finally setting the records straight. You make things so easy and plain for the stupid folks who are just too lazy to eat less and move more. We should hold your words as salvation for our souls.
Amazing vid. Definitely doing one of those omega tests and potentially supplementing dha/epa based on the result. Im upping my flax/chia regardless after this. I usually cook my meals in like a tablespoon of canola oil for taste reasons and i chose canola for the high smoke point and good omega 6:3 ratio (2:1). But now thinking that total omega intake is more important than the ratio so flaxseed/hemp oil could be a better option cus they have about 3x the omegas/gram. You are inspiring bro ❤️
I know you covered the issue of iron overload and it seems legit, but there’s more of a deep dive that I’m interested in! I have heard that anemia in women is actually a low copper issue and low retinol issue and not a true “low iron” issue because it’s a transport and utilization problem and I’m like genuinely very interested in this lol; What they claim is that women’s iron recycling system is much more efficient than men’s, especially when we are pregnant, and we are actually often iron *overloaded* due to things like enrichment of food and that it’s hard for the body to rid itself of excess iron, and that low retinol and copper causes the iron to get “stuck” in soft tissues and not utilized properly and therefore blood tests look like low iron, and that the fatigue that comes from “anemia” is because they have low ACCESSIBLE iron. Also that our period helps with an “iron detox” and donating blood is also a good thing (which I know you’re a fan of!) I’m genuinely curious if this is true, and if it is true, is beta carotene fine to get the system working vs retinol? A lot of the people that subscribe to this theory claim it HAS to be retinol and not beta carotene 🙄 I’m sure beta carotene could do the job because it becomes vitamin a but 🙄 I would LOVE to hear about this topic since it’s really kind of a different topic!
Time Books actually just had an article on how to live a long life and had this in it “People who take multivitamins also seem to die earlier - perhaps because of the iron in them. Iron, Brendborg says, “works almost like fertiliser for the growth of bacteria”. This could also explain why blood donors tend to live longer, as they get rid of excess iron” 🤯
@@Viva-Longevity also curious to know what the order of operations should be if you do have iron overload. Detox the excess iron first, and up the vitamin a and copper, or avoid it??
despite your warnings, i watched the whole video. i can already sense a second follow-up on DPA and AA. also, i remember watching a NileRed (TH-cam chemist) video where he used hexanes to clean his beakers. so when hexane was brought up i thought- hold on! he used hexanes, but you talked about hexane. are they different? (don't answer that. imma look it up and figure out for myself.) i also really like Derek Muller. one of, if not, my favourite online science educator. fats are called fatty acids because, well.... they're acids. like how amino acids are actually acids too. they aren't, like, Hydrofluoric Acid. but they are actually, in fact; acids. i think the most fascinating part, for me, was the STRENGTH Study. and what they found about corn oil. oh, and everytime a social media ""expert"" makes an unsubstantiated claim, i think of this meme: th-cam.com/video/uKeKuaJ4nlw/w-d-xo.html [warning: cursing. of the uncensored variety]
Glad you showed the Bill Harris clip. Recommend the Omega Index test. 7.8% here. Sardines once a week. 300 mg algae EPA/DHA supplement most days. Walnuts and olives daily. a few tblspns flaxseeds weekly, a few tspns olive oil. Otherwise WFPBs. Weaning myself off fish. and retesting soon.
Amazing how in this era, disinformation and omission are the biggest things nowadays. Here you are, omitting so many stuff just to prove your point, just like the carnivore diet gurus are doing. But you are doing a good job in making it so well organized to give you more credit.
It’s so inaccurate to say heart attacks are SIGNIFICANTLY more common today . I’m a retired pastor and I remember forty years ago visiting a parishioner in the hospital who had had a heart attack . His cardiologist walked in and they began discussing his symptoms ( he had been stabilized and may have already had surgery at this point ) and the Dr said something I’ve remembered all these years . He said “ If you go back in the early part of this century you will find scads of coroner’s cause of death reports where the cause of death was put down as “ acute indigestion” because that was the last thing they complained about . Fact was they died of heart attacks . Yes, because of our heavy meat consumption there is more CVD today but people have always died of heart attacks .
Hey great video as always! Though I do wonder, it'd be nice to have Michael Klaper's perspective on omega 3 supplementation, he deems it unnecessary and might even increase prostate cancer risk Edit: Dr Tim Radak's speech on vegan omega 3 is also very interesting and also goes in the same way as Dr Klaper suggesting you don't supplements
Thanks! I get the feeling we’re far from having a solid answer about supplements. I think eating fatty fish is definitively good for health, we have solid data about that, but we haven’t definitively shown that getting a component of fish from pills provides the same protection, no?
@@Viva-Longevity You should interview Dr. Brooke Goldner and her hyper nourishment protocol for Autoimmune conditions - one of its main aspects is high dose ALA from Flax and Chia only, and she has many case studies that might add value to this video.
As with all of your videos, and engrossing viewing experience. It caused me to hie to the kitchen to check the ratios on my vegan EPA/DHA supplement, and to take one, realizing I couldn't remember the last time I did. I appreciate the effort you make to find credible perspectives to counter the confederacy of dunces (it must be repeated that medical doctors are not clinical researchers and don't have an equivalent level of expertise!) and your on-location filming, which paces the videos so well that time flies! Thanks for posting : )
I'm actually surprised polyunsaturated fats are so beneficial and better even than monounsaturated fats. Given they are likely easier to oxidize both outside the body and within the body. In fact making membrane fatty acids less easy to oxidize is one of the main alterations evolution does that increases a species longevity. I'd understand it if it was just within whole vegetables where such is protected by many natural antioxidant compounds, but even in highly refined oils? amazing.
Thanks for doing this video, it was way more informative and detailed than the last one. And for once it finally made me feel more educated about this topic.
Thank you so much for another amazingly researched video! Out of all the channels I subscribe to and watch, I am always the most excited for Plant Chompers. I also love your penchant for old medical texts and books, you have some incredible and obscure works in your collection :)
I’m a noob and trying to learn and I’m open to a vegan diet, I feel horribly uncomfortable eating such a highly processed food and trusting these food giants to do what’s right, I looked up NATURAL sources of omega 6 and nuts seeds meat and eggs top the list with “vegetable oil” I think it’s strange that vegans go to bat for these oils knowing where they come from just to prove a point to meat eaters kinda turns me off to vegans. How about a comparison video between these natural sources?
I think that some people want to discourage seed oils because it contributes to obesity. Another group is just intent on dicouraging anything vegan because they are promoting animal fats and animal products.
Wow Chris. You blew me away with this content. I did not expect it at all. I myself try to minimise the use of added oil, I use small amount of olive and canola oil. I don't have to feel doomed anymore 🤣 As we all know it's all about context. What I don't like about these extremist claims (anti seed oil camp) is they take it out of context. Also, I never see any data attached to these claims. If we see it as opportunity cost compared to eating lard, oil wins. Compared to tahini, oil loses. However, the STRENGTH study's results - wow. I did not expect that for one second. Just brilliant. RE the comments saying all sorts about you - that is just pure jealousy. You look healthy, you're active and no meds. This is what I want for myself when I reach your age. I'm gonna have to start exercising 🤣 And I agree with this comment: slicing and dicing your videos might help you reach more viewers. Not everyone has the stamina to watch these long videos, although me personally - I LOVE them👌 Thanks!!
@@Viva-Longevity Haha, it's awesome! Most of the topics you choose are quite complex, I guess as a scientist you're not too interested in solving straight forward problems. It's difficult as I feel most people are looking for simple yes/no answers. I do data analysis for my job. I have first hand experience of making data fit a certain narrative rather than the other way around, it's killing me. I love watching your videos.👌
Thanks! If you're good at getting data to fit a narrative, can you please make some data indicate vegans live longer than pescatarians? That would be convenient. 😁 I'm hoping DHA/EPA supplements make that data happen for reals so you don't have to use your data skillz to support a narrative I want to believe...
@@Viva-Longevity Ha! That would be convenient indeed 😎 I refuse to present any analysis to fit a narrative, but I have had plenty of requests to do so. I have also been asked to produce analysis with no data at all 🤣 It's a funny world we live in. Is there a part two to this seed oil debate? 😁
I'm absolutely loving your history lesson on cookbooks, I feel very connected to the totality of the human race, especially when I see strong parallels between myself and my ancestors many generations back. Hard for a youngster like me to fully understand the 50s weren't black and white, the 70's weren't tinted and the days before the 20th century weren't acrylic.
Would you consider adding all links to the serial episodes in the description box? I was fed episode 2, but I want to start with episode 1… and while I’m totally willing to do the extra work, I think most people might prefer links. Lmk if I’m asking for something that’s already there and I didn’t see!
Such a nice greenhouse! Wanting to build a greenhouse attached to the house, so it heats the home and the home heats it. Some gem ideas here in this video! 🙏🏼
This was a great video! I loved it even though I am in the opposite camp. I like the fact that you call out your opponents and expose the areas that they are buying into the internet hype on certain "facts". I am subscribed to all of the people you cut to at the beginning. There is always room to hear different viewpoint and consider. When you said you wouldn't eat a fish because of the impact on ocean life, I am interested in that. Show me why you are so opposed to that in a video. I'm listening!
From Business Insider: Steve Jobs later read a book called “Mucusless Diet Healing System,” by Arnold Ehret, which led to an even stricter diet. In addition to traditional meats and proteins, Jobs also gave up bread, grains, and milk. (Ehret died at the age of 56, just like Jobs.) In 2008, when Jobs underwent surgery to remove part of his pancreas, (his wife Laurene) Powell started incorporating fish and other proteins into their meals. But his health was poor and he was losing a ton of weight. He would still ask his personal chef Bryar Brown for a carrot salad, or lemongrass soup, or a simple pasta with basil.
Thank you. When I knew him and ate a lot of dinners with him, he was no longer extreme. But he did love cookies, healthy-looking ones, but I always wondered how much shortening there was in them in the day.
It is confusing… I did my utmost to clarify but still there are things that are confusing. Do algal oils work as well as fish? Are oils as healthy as no oils at all, or just compared to other forms of fat?
@@Viva-Longevity I think after one gets there required amount of fats and oils they are neutral. The only strong correlation that exists is more fruits , vegetables , legumes and some nuts with low overall amounts of meat leads to longevity so long as the calorie intake is correct. The 2 fold problems of processed food is it's more desirable and less nutritious and thirdly preparing food in it of itself reduces consumption because it's work if one cooks at home. I think the donut or french fries are the perfect processed foods because they have all 3 nutrients that people argue about, some say it's the sugar coating of both french fries and donuts, some say it must be the fat, some say it must be the processed starch rather than just saying they are empty calories which is the big issue.
The major problem with most non-cold-pressed, ASAP refrigerated/freezed oils is their high content of Age-products (Advanced glycation end products)! AGE products measures, in our system, are demonstrated to be a strong indicator of metabolic health, among other correlates. And this content, of AGE-products, in foods is directly related to all the usual parameters affecting oxidation/degeneration (heating/storage/light/air). The problem with nutrition studies, in general, is that we are really comparing horrendous diets to slightly less terrible versions thereof. I would estimate that less than 1% of the people on the planet follow a truly healthy diet, with 12-20/plus pieces of color-full, well-cultivated fruits and vegetables (and herbs) daily, with a truly low Age-product content and, conversely, with many AGE product countering compounds in the polyphenolic (etc.) content therein. (all high fats and protein foods accumulate these products to a high degree when exposed to the former factors (which they are from the moment of conception, in the case of animal foods). Fresh nuts and seeds are relatively low in AGE products, but when you roast them the AGE content increases dramatically as well)). Note: I do not intend to indicate that polyphenols/phytonutrients only serve to lower AGE products, they are evidenced to support every system in the body, basically, and to counter any disease, practically.
I tried to listen to the debate on Simon Hill's podcast. After 30 minutes I gave up. Congrats if you lasted the entire 3.5 hours. I hear Dr Greger's refrain "compared to what", I think it applies here.
I’ll start by saying that I was very critical of your last video, for good reason, and there are a few topics that we talked about that you still haven’t addressed. That said, this was a well made video and was significantly more honest and thorough than the last one. I appreciate the work you put into this video and hopefully it will inspire people to have a better understanding of their fat intake. Regarding your question about no fat versus incorporating fat into the diet, essential fatty acid intake should be factored into a healthy diet at a bare minimum. Thank you for addressing the topic.
Hello Chris, thank you as always for your amazing videos, I have been working in the health industry for over 20 years, when the omega 3 boom started in the late 90's, began working with local communities in the Peruvian highland and currently over the past 7 years in the tropical savanna of Brazil known as the cerrado. Both of these regions are far away from the ocean traditional access to foods rich in omega 3's ALA or DHA/EPA are almost non existent, even though they both ate fish it was not on a daily basis. The traditional diets mainly consisted of tubers and legumes, avocado, veggies, local fruits and culinary nuts are available. They do eat meat and dairy products but this is more recently dating back to the past 100-150 years, before mammal were introduced into these regions, I wondered where they obtained their omega-3's? I had long talks with communities in the Chiquitana which is the cerrado region of Bolivia, they mentioned how their ancestors ate basically out of their "canchon" their small backyard farms were they grew crops and raised animals (turkey's, ducks, guinea pigs mainly) and had a wide variety of veggies and other crops, they wild harvested local fruits and edible nuts like Baru nuts. The academic research is sound no doubt, when it comes to omega-3's health benefits, however when confronted with these communities were omega-3's are not abundant it raises more questions.
Your comments on controversy of heating oil was noteworthy. This past year I quit spraying oil on the food I cooked in the air fryer because of the heavy residue that accumulated on the basket. I assumed it was oxidized oil. Air frying food that has been misted with oil tastes far better then food cooked without any oil so if the truth is that its harmless that would be good information.
Thanks, Kent. I'm set to interview a food science professor from Harvard, Guy Crosby, in October and we've been talking about heating oils. It does seem to be the most heat stable food, but the foods we cook in them infuse the oil and how much it changes the oil really depends on what you're cooking. Cooking some foods in oil protects them, however, like beef, so it doesn't burn as much as it would directly on a metal grill. 🤷
@jodiemasterson6418 I spray on a little bit of oil after cooking for taste as well as giving season something to stick to. Even with the spray, it's a fraction of the oil consumed when frying.
so omega 3 index correlates with longetivity, and hundreeds of millions of people arounde world hate eating fish (and they seem to be quite alive) and veganism correlates with longevitiy. But we cannot convert ALA in enough EPA and DHA. Like something does not fit into this picture. It is the same for b12, long term vegans as donald watson itself didn't supplemented for decades and they lived long and heathy.
I wonder if people don't take to you because of the name of your channel. When I first saw it I felt like I was going to get information which was skewed towards one particular outcome. I'm happy to say that the videos are excellent and it was great to see a shot across the bows of Dr 'Hello Health Champions' Ekberg and Thomas Delauer.
Hi Chris I have yet to watch this video but wondered have you come across ‘The Coconut Oil Miracle’ book yet? And what does your research say on Coconut oil? Thank you for being you
This oil conundrum has been driving me nuts after adopting a plant based diet to lower my cholesterol a few months ago! Thanks for evoking the rollercoaster of contradictory influencer opinions one gets on when trying to eat healthier. And thanks for slicing through this with some clarity. The dieting influencer space might be more demented than political TH-cam!
You put all vegetable oils in the same bag. Olive oil is simply olive juice, it comes directly from the olive only by pressing. Nowadays, seed oils are obtained by less healthy procedures. Probably in the Middle Ages the solvents used to obtain them were nota the same. Study the process please. I come from and island in the Mediterranean, from a olive oil family maker.
wow, this is a phenominal video. I really which you could spend some time talking about seed oil oxidation and it's connection to oxLDL, thanks for the informative video!
Chris thanks again for another interesting episode!! I’ve been enjoying your videos lately on my spin bike rides. Biking season is maybe a couple of months away here in Tahoe 😢. I’ve been interested in testing my Omega 3 levels so thanks for the source of where we can do that. By the way did you end up finding a good vegan omega 3 supplement with both DHA and EPA? Thanks
@@Viva-Longevity I haven’t yet found a vegan EPA. I’ll do some research on it. I have to be careful with the inactive ingredients some supplement companies put in their supplements. You still have plenty of time to ski. The resorts are staying open till the beginning of May.
So after watching all 46 minutes of your very extensive vid, I need to know the following: 1. Should vegans take oil supplements, if so, what dose and which brand do you recommend? 2. If not consuming oil to replace saturated fat, should vegans add oil to their diet or not? If so, which oils and how much? Thank you.
LOL!!!!!! You warned us not to watch until the end. All I have to say is HUBBA HUBBA~!!!! The explanation about the photo on the ruck answers a decade old question about why you did that. Thanks for the oil disambiguation. Funny that we were discussing oil in your CSM thread earlier in the month.
Hahaha, it was for Striking Viking. I thought it was a great gift so I didn't think much of a quick photo. Kinda like wearing a bathing suit to swim, right?
Chris, excellent video as always. Perhaps you could do a video in the future about exactly what we are doing to the oceans and why you don’t eat fish. I’d be looking specifically for your reasons based on your scientific background. That would be an interesting video. Thank you for all the great information. As an extra, I might add I’m still not clear as to whether it’s OK for me to use extra-virgin olive oil for both cooking and putting on my salads? I’m kind of new to this stuff and it’s a bit overwhelming trying to get it right.
Thanks Jack! Yeah, the oceans are a sad story. Most of us in earth science went into it out of a sense of wonder and awe for the miracle that is the plant, the oceans, the life...and we are all dying inside as we watch a miracle of our universe degrade as it's doing. 😔 As for extra virgin olive oil, it's not you, it's us. 😁 You will hear many very well informed doctors and scientists with different points of view. But I think you can get almost all of them to agree to a few things: (1) if it's used in a processed food, it's bad; (2) if it's used in moderation a healthy, whole food Mediterranean or Asian-style diet, it may not be a superfood, but in the scheme of things, it's healthy, certainly compared to saturated fats; (3) for people with heart disease and diabetes, they could probably do better with whole plant alternatives.
Ha! Now I don’t feel so dumb ‘cus I greatly admire your episodes. Just watched your episode on Liver King. 😱 Wonder what his ferritin levels are? I’m betting iron overload.
Frenchie here! Loved this video and its predecessor! Likewise I'm still waiting on the plant/liquid oil vs no oil data. Until then it's moderation for me. I would be interested in one of those analytical tests and a battery of tests may be my Christmas wish this year from the family 😆
This is great. I wondered if you had commented (in orevious videos) on Esselstyn's findings that all added oils (as imposed to those found in whole foods) are harmful/irritating to endothelial cells.
You should definitely reach out to Mic the Vegan, Gojiman, Simnet Nutrition, or Healthy Crazy Cool for some potential video collaborations! All are super smart vegans, mic and gojiman make videos similar to you with lots of research, Derek from SN is awesome for plant based athletic training, and miles at HCC did clinical nutrition and is a former elite tennis player and knows his stuff when it comes to vegan nutrition! It would definitely help build your audience which you totally deserve, and collab with some awesome other vegan men of science!
The production value is out of this world! So happy you mentioned Gil Carvalho, this community needs more people like you two. Now, just waiting for this channel to gain the recognition it should have.
I just interviewed Gil! I’ll post it in a few days.
They're my two favorite channels for nutrition now, so, it was really nice

@@Viva-Longevityhigh quality investigations, no speculations
Are you kidding me? We asked for a summary and clearer understanding on seed oils and you deliver a review that blows away my already high expectations that I have for you! How is that possible??? I have submitted adoption papers for you to sign. Is that inappropriate? Don’t think about it, just sign them so I can go on morning runs and swims with you and enjoy amazing whole plant-based food post exercise.

Excellent presentation, per usual.
@isle9 Hard to grow your subscriber count as a vegan channel when your followers keep quitting veganism for health reasons.
@@aliendroneservices6621 Not health reasons, social reasons. And many will try again, for health reasons.
30 years ago I started taking a product called Dale Alexander's cod liver oil emulsified and flavored cod liver oil and it was pretty palatable yes tell Alexander was considered the cod father
Only problem with corn oil is is the fact that it is GMO almost every bit of corn is GMO anymore
I'll tell you some of the stuff is driving me absolutely insane
I have come to the conclusion that putting a teaspoon of olive oil on a salad is much different than french fries, chips etc.
As well as the oils blended into almost every processed food and packaged bread. Almost every packaged food is Grain Powder, Oil, Salt/Sugar, flavorings and colors.
Also heating and frying olive oil, versus using it as a dressing is a huge difference in rancid vs healthier food source.
Chris. You’re my favourite channel. Your content is above and beyond. It’s pleasurable to watch. I have so much respect for what you do. I can’t imagine what it takes behind the camera for you to produce this kind of content. Please keep it up. It is valued
Thank you!
I loved loved loved the section about heating oils. You should take advantage of TH-cam shorts and rereleasing sections as individual videos that are 6-11 minutes to bring more views to your channel and make it more accessible as all the information is amazing. Just most people don’t have the attention span or time to sit thru it all in one sitting. Keep up the great work.
Thanks! Good idea. I'll try it. 👏
@@im2old4this2 Yes, and they can be a great gateway into these longer videos if they want more details. However, many will also look at the shorts and just label it as propaganda if they aren't done properly.
@@Ermude10 Longer videos are the point here, but shorts are the ones people more often watch. Especially if made on makeup (the hint is free!).
This time I had take another look here because this "clip" is so full of material I thought I'd missed some points and I had. I've said it before and ill say it again: these videos are getting better and better and the level on fun is still there! No hate towards the opposite side, but a constant hunger for facts ❤️
I must admit I've started watching YT shorts. It started as curiosity then I found some interesting and then the Algorithm started feeding me better ones. Now I can use up 90 mins in the blink of an eye.
Your videos are a Godsend. You do a wonderful job separating fact from fiction in an easily digestible format that most people can understand. Very, very well done.
Another very nuanced analysis of a challenging subject! Thanks for your efforts!
Thanks Mike!
love this video, love how much you've learned to teach us, that DHA/DPA instead of DHA/EPA was scary! I took that exact supplement for 2 months before I found a liquid version made in Canada where I'm from that has a Plant Based Omega 3 1000mg EPA+DHA by Nature's Way, NurtaVege and I didn't know that myself!
I only consume EVOO because of the polyphenol content is higher than most oils and that would help to combat inflammation, where I'm under the impression that ultra-processed seed oils contribute to inflammation, there wasn't any talk in this episode of this subject, possibly a future topic.
Another great video debunking some of the views I held against seed oils. So much information to digest and I will have to watch this video a few times as well as the ones you have attached to get a full understanding. As someone else has commented below, please don't stop making videos, your videos are so informative.

Your struggle to find a vegan omega-3 supplement is very relatable. You forgot to mention how it's even more annoying when a lot of companies will set the serving size at two capsules to boost the label numbers. Thanks for another great video.
Serving size should be abolished, or at least only provided as a complement to a standard measure such as per 100 grams. It's impossible to compare foods otherwise...
Perhaps it’s because veganism isn’t sustainable?
@@leep368 Just not at scale! :)
I have found a few vegan omega 3 supplements, I don't have the resources to double check the accuracy of the label so I won't specifically recommend any, but they claim to have the long chain omega 3 fatty acids that my diet naturally lacks so they hopefully will help prevent certain health issues. The one I have been using is a 2 capsule serving.
Doesn’t walnut give us omega-3
I always feel do much smarter after I watch your channel. Thank you for what you do 😃
Thanks Lorena!
Please don't stop making videos, your videos are the best and most entertaining.

Excellent video as always. I absolutely love your channel. Since the beginning of the year, I have turned around my diet and lifestyle dramatically. While I stumbled upon you after this shift, your phenomenal and cited content has led me to better understand myself, my body, and my diet. Furthermore, said citations have grown my book collection on health and nutrition exponentially. Thank you for this absolute gem of a service you are doing.
Today was the perfect Christmas with my herd and ending my day watching this was the icing on the cake. I missed this vid when it was uploaded last year but the Lord knew I NEEDED this info now. Chris, thank you (as well as your team & lovely wife) for the work you do. I’ve learned so much from you and your guests. I hope your holiday was filled with Love, joy, and laughter. Hugs to all y’all.
So it took me this long to comment because not only did I watch it to the end (bits and pieces while cooking suppers), but I watched sections again!
My take-away from this video was a greater respect for you. I really appreciate your desire to present scientific information, and not enter into debate.
Thank you for the information. I need to restart taking an Omega 3 supplement so as to reduce the risk of age onset brain issues.
I have recently cut the amount of oil I use in cooking (i. e. 1/2 tsp instead of 1 tbsp oil for a 4 portion stir-fry) and without even noticing, lost 15 pounds. Not the topic of this video, but quantity of oil certainly has an impact on overall health.
Susan.
Thanks, Susan! Wow, 15 pounds from just cutting back on oil is great! Congrats. I’m still a little unsettled on omega 3 supplements but I guess everyone is. Simon Hill just interviewed Bill Harris for his podcast and I’m eager to hear what they said.
Criminally low views and subscribers. Such well-researched topics and enjoyable content.
I especially love that you bring in what many other influencers are talking about and address a lot of the things they're saying. I used to follow many of those influencers as a start on my health journey, but like you mentioned, the thing always at the back of my mind is how do they know what they're actually talking about. I never pressed where they get the data from and just assumed that they were trying to help people with what they thought they knew. I'm glad to have stumbled on your stuff, and for someone to openly admit that their a fan of Veritasium, I KNEW I'm in the right place. I'd love to see you do a collab with Veritasium or SmarterEveryDay. That'd be so cool. OR, one on Blue Zones and their diets would be amazing! Either way, I'm so glad I found you. XD
Thanks, Hamster Cart! It’s hard to know what someone’s motivation is, but I get the feeling that in the case of Chris Knobbe, he really is trying to help people and truly believes seed oils are a major cause of disease.
With so many conflicts of interest, preconceptions, biased content, misinformation, and the overwhelming information that can be found online about the subject, you have brought a fresh perspective with all relevant information in an entertaining, captivating way.
Big thanks for your hard work, your intellectual honesty, and your unbiased opinion.🙂🙂
Thanks Aziz! It’s true that I genuinely have no horse in this race.
The statements made starting at the 2:45 mark that attempt to use history to discredit those who prefer to use the term "seed oil" rather than the more general term "vegetable oil" is more than a little disingenuous. First off, oils from grain seeds, beans, or vegetables go back a lot longer than a few centuries. It is more likely 5 to 10 millennia. However, those statements ignore the fact that the processing technology applied currently to extract oil from grains and vegetables to use for dietary purposes is far, far different than the historical process for extraction. The historic extraction process was basically cold pressing, similar to the preferred method for higher-quality olive oil. For only the last 100 years have solvent extraction, primarily using hexane, and hydrogenation been the almost universally applied methods for producing dietary oils from grains, beans, and other plant-based inputs.
My inclination, based solely on observational correlation to health problem trends, is that these oils, whether they are called vegetable oil, seed oil, or something else, are probably not the issue. People have been consuming these oils for thousands and thousands of years with few historic indications of having health problems at all similar to the current obesity and cardiovascular disease situation. The health problems that the seed oil opponents raise as concerns appear to have started to develop in the mid-1900s, rising dramatically from the 1960s onward as industrial hydrogenation dominated seed/vegetable oil production in order to get alternative cooking fats to market in response to the widely accepted, but mostly unproven belief that dietary saturated fats are a primary cause of heart disease. Now, we are where we are. Widespread, large-scale consumption of modern seed/vegetable oils and increasing rates of obesity, heart disease, and other chronic health conditions.
In the end, I realize that even if I am right, my observational correlation approach doesn't actually prove causation.
One point that is also relevant in the seed/vegetable oil vs animal fats debate is that people were also consuming animal fats for thousands and thousands of years with few historic indications of having health problems at all similar to the current obesity and cardiovascular disease situation. I have yet to see any reliable information as to the proportions of meat-based vs plant-based vs seafood-based foods that made up various historical diets. All we really know is that the variety in people's diets historically tended to be far greater than current diets. That is a point that both the plant-based and meat-based diet advocates consciously ignore in promoting their separate biases.
After all that, I still think there was a lot of useful info in the video. However, I still didn't see anything that could be considered a definitive answer on the oils issue and certainly nothing indicating convincingly that plant based on the only right answer.
This content is one of the best I've found about nutrition, congratulations
This is an amazing resource and format, every video is detailed yet approachable and relevant without being "preachy" or filled with hasty certainty. KEEP IT UP!
New subscriber. Really enjoy your channel! You have criminally too few subscribers considering the quality of your content. I'm not a eating a plant only diet due some unusual health conditions and allergies. However, I really sympathize with the ethical and environmental concerns of veganism. But I also value honesty very much. It's hard to find nutrition content on TH-cam that doesn 't place ideology over open-mindedness and truth.
I am always amazed there's just well made videos on TH-cam, for free! This takes me back to childhood, watching documentaries on channels like PBS and Animal Planet. Watching this video will save me more time than going through dozens of shorter videos and reading through studies (but there's always more time for learning). You and Gil from Nutrition Made Simple! makes it so much easier for all of us and also made it much harder to listen to a lot of influencers...
Thanks! I wrestled with myself on whether I should have broken this down into smaller segments so omega 3s got their own episode, refining of oils got its own, etc....
Both of these channels are disingenuous and make videos that ignore all negative evidence. But go on, don’t take a few minutes of your time to look for yourself on the studies that are out there (that they deliberately omit).
@@disinformationworld9378 I don't think you've watched them because they definitely don't ignore all negative evidence.
I always look forward to seeing the books you reference in these videos. Since finding your channel a few months ago I've read:
The Dorito Effect
Food Politics
Nourish
How Not to Die
The Telomere Effect
Animal, Vegetable, Junk
Plus a few others I came across beforehand. Thanks for the growing book list
WOW!!! 👏👏👏 Were my recommendations good or meh? I loved Burn from this latest episode as much as any of them.

Wow Mr MacAskill this is THE BEST video on the subject! Thanks for the amazing content and diligent research!
Thanks Marcelo! I was afraid I had created a frankenepisode that was all over the place in terms of omega 3s, high heat, hexane, yada... 😳
This is an excellent video and shows many examples of just how many controversies there are in nutrition science about such a specific topic. I would love to generalize something though that I think people get way too concerned with little details and miss the bigger picture and often avoid topics regarding self responsibility. It's not just processed oils, flours and foods in general becoming more popular in modern times, it's greater intake of total calories combined with less physical activity with our ever-increasing sedentary lifestyles. This is often why no matter what diet you choose (keto, vegan, plant-based, Mediterranean, even carnivore, etc) they all are able to claim reversal of diabetic symptoms/condition. Even though they all focus on different aspects of a diet, they all result in a lower intake of calories and weightloss as a result. Weight loss ultimately reverses many symptoms of diabetes for those not permanently damaged along with a host of other benefits from not being overweight in general. We aren't ploughing our own fields anymore, or walking miles to the nearest market or school or place of employment, etc. We're a much more specialized society where we can order our food from a phone app and never having to leave our couch. We can consume 3000+ calories daily without leaving our bed or couch but we want to blame seed oils or McDonalds for our lifestyle choices. They're all important scientifically but in the populace, I often get in conversations with people who probably shouldn't be talking about min/maxing a diet to live to age 110 and focus more on a diet that will at least prevent a heart attack or stroke before age 70.
less salt and cholesterol also. some people were skinny and had low BMI but high cholesterol
The only time I went completely no fat, no oil, I ended up sick. I added back small amounts of olive oil mainly uncooked in the form of salad dressing. All you can do is eat fruits and vegetables that you process and be cautious, extremely cautious when you step away from that.
Ad hoc ergo propter hoc is not a great argument.
It could very well have been not getting enough calories or just completely random timing.
@@OatmealTheCrazy Feel free to decide that no conclusion is appropriately drawn from my “no fats” experience. My experience remains my experience and my conclusions may apply to me only.
Seed oils are extracted from vegetables with hexane, a petrochemical, high heat and lots of processing.
That fear is addressed in Dr Greger's How Not to Diet book. The reality is it is so incredibly low as to not be an issue.
Yes, but that says nothing
Thankyou from the bottom of my heart for Al you hard work! What a great resource you have created here! Love it!
Thanks for all the work you do to bring us this information.
I went vegan many years ago but always included some fish oil because I knew I wasn't getting enough EPA/DHA. Before I changed my diet, I used to take 80ml of Lipitor because of my sky high cholesterol. I was also pre-diabetic, had serious GIRD, high blood pressure, haemorrhoids and divirticulitis. They're all gone.
Excellent video, BTW. I never watch any videos that are more than 10 minutes long. So that tells you a lot. You'd have 10M subscribers if people understood the process of science and had any respect for it. A good example: today I read that the price of diabetese medication is skyrocketing and they didn't know why. Really? Because people don't know that they can save $15000/yr if they only listened to nutrition scientists and changed their diets. The pharmaceuticals know this but it's an open secret they'll take to their graves.
Thanks, Andrew! Fantastic change in health. 💪 Congratulations, what an achievement!
I can't believe I've watched 83 minutes of videos on oils and have not seen ONE REFERENCE to Dr. John McDougall. In fact, I don't think I've ever heard you mention him.
Yes, please bring DR McDougall on, that word be great and a nice balance.
As usual a well researched and easily digestible vid! Loved it
Thanks Esteban! Not too long? Were there boring sections?
@@Viva-Longevity You're kidding right? Every second of it is fascinating!
Thanks! I've been a sad puppy today, thinking maybe I created a Frankenstein episode that's about omega 3s for awhile, then about hexane, yada.
@@Viva-Longevity I have to agree with the second comment. I loved it all. Usually i fast forward videos. But I ended up watching it all because it’s such a complex topic, and you have a plethora of sources and opinions. I’m still in the fence about what is a good oil. Specially if you eat plant based. But at the end you concluded with what you do, and what could be the best alternative for vegans. Hope
you keep making content. I’m always happy to see “plant chompers “ notifications :)
It’s so easy to grab bullets and titles and make videos, but it’s an art to digest the actual data and present it to people of all backgrounds, and you do a really good job on that.
PS: you rocked that picture in the bike!!
I rely on 2 Tbs of ground flax every day. In addition, I use cold pressed, extra virgin, organic canola oil. It's used pretty sparingly. But it blows EVOO out of the water. And it totally bypasses all of those crazy hexane claims, as well as GMO paranoia. When you're approaching a low BMI, avoiding oils is pointless for a 100% plant based diet. As for this talk about french fries being so deadly... I AGREE! But french fries ≠ "vegetable oil". The fact is, they are very high in 3-MCPD which absolutely is toxic. But that's a separate issue. Cooking on an open flame is not so great. And high temperature frying is not good either. It's a problem with cooking techniques, not the actual oil itself.
Thanks, AlboPepper. Completely agree. I'm a big fan of your channel, so it's great to see you here. 🙏
How does canola oil blow evoo out of the water?
@@christianfoster1665 yeah, what does that mean exactly?
@@christianfoster1665 likely in regards to omega 3 levels. Canola oil is packed with ALA where evoo has very little. To be fair though, evoo is mainly prized for its antioxidant properties.
Bmi says nothing about arterial health which oils negatively affect
Most seed oil consumption is in industrial deep fryers making fast foods and processed foods. Reused oil creates toxic oxidation products.
I believe that's from the foods that get mixed with the oil after each episode of frying, no? Potatoes, for example. And they brown at lower temps than the oil does.
I am not an expert but this fatty acid oxidation product is concerning to me and why I don't eat deep fried seed oil. "Trans-4-hydroxy-2-hexenal (4-HHE) and trans-4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) are secondary lipid peroxidation products in edible oils, which are cytotoxic and genotoxic. They could covalently bind with protein, phospholipids and DNA, further disrupting the normal function of liver, lung and brain." Probably refried oils are ok.@@Viva-Longevity
Good points, thank you. I think it's broadly agreed that refrying oils containing foods, for whatever reason, is no bueno.
It's hilarious to me (but kinda scary) how many people in the comment sections think they're absolute experts at everything and are quick to personally attack you. It's like, are you listening to everything being said in this video or are you only hearing what you *want* to hear.
I have a degree in Cybersecurity, but I am by no means an expert in the field yet and subject matter in the field is constantly changing. There are people in the field that have been at it for 20 years that are still learning new things every day.
Your video removed all the fluff and hype for me around seed oils. I'm 6 months into eating healthy (Mostly Med diet after my doctor's recommendation to lower my cholesterol) and exercising and I'm starting to get further into nutrition, and I've found so much conflicting evidence about seed oils. I also just found Gil Carvalho and found him to be non-sensational and take a more skeptical approach. Also I love your sense of humor.
How about this - the PUFA's polyunsaturated fats - linoleic acid and linolenic acid are also used as VARNISH. Would you eat varnish? 🤪
Great video! I am taking the same DHA+DPA supplement as you showed at 45:28, looking forward to the next video for sure
So glad to see someone finally setting the records straight. You make things so easy and plain for the stupid folks who are just too lazy to eat less and move more. We should hold your words as salvation for our souls.
Amazing vid. Definitely doing one of those omega tests and potentially supplementing dha/epa based on the result. Im upping my flax/chia regardless after this. I usually cook my meals in like a tablespoon of canola oil for taste reasons and i chose canola for the high smoke point and good omega 6:3 ratio (2:1). But now thinking that total omega intake is more important than the ratio so flaxseed/hemp oil could be a better option cus they have about 3x the omegas/gram. You are inspiring bro ❤️
Thanks Maccalad! I’d be very interested in your test results. Hoping you don’t get a fail like me.
Just because someone is above your pay grade doesn't mean they are right. Atkins, Stillman, Agatston, Tarnower...
I know you covered the issue of iron overload and it seems legit, but there’s more of a deep dive that I’m interested in! I have heard that anemia in women is actually a low copper issue and low retinol issue and not a true “low iron” issue because it’s a transport and utilization problem and I’m like genuinely very interested in this lol; What they claim is that women’s iron recycling system is much more efficient than men’s, especially when we are pregnant, and we are actually often iron *overloaded* due to things like enrichment of food and that it’s hard for the body to rid itself of excess iron, and that low retinol and copper causes the iron to get “stuck” in soft tissues and not utilized properly and therefore blood tests look like low iron, and that the fatigue that comes from “anemia” is because they have low ACCESSIBLE iron. Also that our period helps with an “iron detox” and donating blood is also a good thing (which I know you’re a fan of!) I’m genuinely curious if this is true, and if it is true, is beta carotene fine to get the system working vs retinol? A lot of the people that subscribe to this theory claim it HAS to be retinol and not beta carotene 🙄 I’m sure beta carotene could do the job because it becomes vitamin a but 🙄 I would LOVE to hear about this topic since it’s really kind of a different topic!
Time Books actually just had an article on how to live a long life and had this in it “People who take multivitamins also seem to die earlier - perhaps because of the iron in them. Iron, Brendborg says, “works almost like fertiliser for the growth of bacteria”. This could also explain why blood donors tend to live longer, as they get rid of excess iron” 🤯
Thanks! Great suggestion. I’ve had copper in the back of my mind for years so I’d like to finally have an answer too.
@@Viva-Longevity excited for this video 😀
@@Viva-Longevity also curious to know what the order of operations should be if you do have iron overload. Detox the excess iron first, and up the vitamin a and copper, or avoid it??
despite your warnings, i watched the whole video. i can already sense a second follow-up on DPA and AA. also, i remember watching a NileRed (TH-cam chemist) video where he used hexanes to clean his beakers. so when hexane was brought up i thought- hold on! he used hexanes, but you talked about hexane. are they different? (don't answer that. imma look it up and figure out for myself.) i also really like Derek Muller. one of, if not, my favourite online science educator.
fats are called fatty acids because, well.... they're acids. like how amino acids are actually acids too. they aren't, like, Hydrofluoric Acid. but they are actually, in fact; acids.
i think the most fascinating part, for me, was the STRENGTH Study. and what they found about corn oil.
oh, and everytime a social media ""expert"" makes an unsubstantiated claim, i think of this meme: th-cam.com/video/uKeKuaJ4nlw/w-d-xo.html [warning: cursing. of the uncensored variety]
haha good one 🙈
@@akgakg2426 which part?
Uh oh, I use the same Omega 3 supplement that you were using. Please share when you land on a new brand! Great video, as always!
Glad you showed the Bill Harris clip. Recommend the Omega Index test. 7.8% here. Sardines once a week. 300 mg algae EPA/DHA supplement most days. Walnuts and olives daily. a few tblspns flaxseeds weekly, a few tspns olive oil. Otherwise WFPBs. Weaning myself off fish. and retesting soon.
👏
Amazing how in this era, disinformation and omission are the biggest things nowadays. Here you are, omitting so many stuff just to prove your point, just like the carnivore diet gurus are doing. But you are doing a good job in making it so well organized to give you more credit.
well since you don't say what he ommitted your comment is absolutely useless
It’s so inaccurate to say heart attacks are SIGNIFICANTLY more common today . I’m a retired pastor and I remember forty years ago visiting a parishioner in the hospital who had had a heart attack . His cardiologist walked in and they began discussing his symptoms ( he had been stabilized and may have already had surgery at this point ) and the Dr said something I’ve remembered all these years . He said “ If you go back in the early part of this century you will find scads of coroner’s cause of death reports where the cause of death was put down as “ acute indigestion” because that was the last thing they complained about . Fact was they died of heart attacks .
Yes, because of our heavy meat consumption there is more CVD today but people have always died of heart attacks .
Hey great video as always! Though I do wonder, it'd be nice to have Michael Klaper's perspective on omega 3 supplementation, he deems it unnecessary and might even increase prostate cancer risk
Edit: Dr Tim Radak's speech on vegan omega 3 is also very interesting and also goes in the same way as Dr Klaper suggesting you don't supplements
Thanks! I get the feeling we’re far from having a solid answer about supplements. I think eating fatty fish is definitively good for health, we have solid data about that, but we haven’t definitively shown that getting a component of fish from pills provides the same protection, no?
@@Viva-Longevity You should interview Dr. Brooke Goldner and her hyper nourishment protocol for Autoimmune conditions - one of its main aspects is high dose ALA from Flax and Chia only, and she has many case studies that might add value to this video.
I hope you hit a million subscribers, because your content is top notch.
To quote Dr. Esselstyn, “NO OILS!”
As with all of your videos, and engrossing viewing experience. It caused me to hie to the kitchen to check the ratios on my vegan EPA/DHA supplement, and to take one, realizing I couldn't remember the last time I did. I appreciate the effort you make to find credible perspectives to counter the confederacy of dunces (it must be repeated that medical doctors are not clinical researchers and don't have an equivalent level of expertise!) and your on-location filming, which paces the videos so well that time flies! Thanks for posting : )
Love this episode; along with the Part 1 and the segment you had for Dr.Michael Greger ... P.S. You can keep your shirt on 😁
I'm actually surprised polyunsaturated fats are so beneficial and better even than monounsaturated fats. Given they are likely easier to oxidize both outside the body and within the body. In fact making membrane fatty acids less easy to oxidize is one of the main alterations evolution does that increases a species longevity. I'd understand it if it was just within whole vegetables where such is protected by many natural antioxidant compounds, but even in highly refined oils? amazing.
Same. There are a dozen ways I can think of where I could see polyunsaturated fats being unhealthy, so the human outcome studies astonish me.
Thanks for doing this video, it was way more informative and detailed than the last one. And for once it finally made me feel more educated about this topic.
Thanks! I was afraid I included tttooooo mmmuuuucccchhh and people would die of boredom. 🤷
Thank you so much for another amazingly researched video! Out of all the channels I subscribe to and watch, I am always the most excited for Plant Chompers. I also love your penchant for old medical texts and books, you have some incredible and obscure works in your collection :)
yay more chris content!
Omega 3/6 ratio is kinda interesting, try finding one study about it.
Nutravege sells an omega 3 with DHA and EPA - great series. Thank you for the content you make. You do amazing work!
I’m a noob and trying to learn and I’m open to a vegan diet, I feel horribly uncomfortable eating such a highly processed food and trusting these food giants to do what’s right, I looked up NATURAL sources of omega 6 and nuts seeds meat and eggs top the list with “vegetable oil” I think it’s strange that vegans go to bat for these oils knowing where they come from just to prove a point to meat eaters kinda turns me off to vegans. How about a comparison video between these natural sources?
Pushing processed food and medications is what these people do.
For all the good things in the video, I'm almost reluctant to say that the picture of you and all the kids takes the prize!
Thanks! There were a couple stray kids along for the ride. 😁
Great content as always. Always look forward to your well researched videos
I think that some people want to discourage seed oils because it contributes to obesity. Another group is just intent on dicouraging anything vegan because they are promoting animal fats and animal products.
I definitely agree with that last statement lol 🙏
@Dookie Bookie Of course. But the problem is how many calories you get so quickly from oil.
Wow Chris. You blew me away with this content. I did not expect it at all. I myself try to minimise the use of added oil, I use small amount of olive and canola oil. I don't have to feel doomed anymore 🤣 As we all know it's all about context. What I don't like about these extremist claims (anti seed oil camp) is they take it out of context. Also, I never see any data attached to these claims. If we see it as opportunity cost compared to eating lard, oil wins. Compared to tahini, oil loses. However, the STRENGTH study's results - wow. I did not expect that for one second. Just brilliant. RE the comments saying all sorts about you - that is just pure jealousy. You look healthy, you're active and no meds. This is what I want for myself when I reach your age. I'm gonna have to start exercising 🤣 And I agree with this comment: slicing and dicing your videos might help you reach more viewers. Not everyone has the stamina to watch these long videos, although me personally - I LOVE them👌 Thanks!!
Thank you so much, Ivana. 🙏 I have been very worried about the length of this episode and the fact that it's a kitchen sink of topics...
@@Viva-Longevity Haha, it's awesome! Most of the topics you choose are quite complex, I guess as a scientist you're not too interested in solving straight forward problems. It's difficult as I feel most people are looking for simple yes/no answers. I do data analysis for my job. I have first hand experience of making data fit a certain narrative rather than the other way around, it's killing me. I love watching your videos.👌
Thanks! If you're good at getting data to fit a narrative, can you please make some data indicate vegans live longer than pescatarians? That would be convenient. 😁 I'm hoping DHA/EPA supplements make that data happen for reals so you don't have to use your data skillz to support a narrative I want to believe...
@@Viva-Longevity Ha! That would be convenient indeed 😎 I refuse to present any analysis to fit a narrative, but I have had plenty of requests to do so. I have also been asked to produce analysis with no data at all 🤣 It's a funny world we live in. Is there a part two to this seed oil debate? 😁
I'm absolutely loving your history lesson on cookbooks, I feel very connected to the totality of the human race, especially when I see strong parallels between myself and my ancestors many generations back. Hard for a youngster like me to fully understand the 50s weren't black and white, the 70's weren't tinted and the days before the 20th century weren't acrylic.
Would you consider adding all links to the serial episodes in the description box? I was fed episode 2, but I want to start with episode 1… and while I’m totally willing to do the extra work, I think most people might prefer links. Lmk if I’m asking for something that’s already there and I didn’t see!
Such a nice greenhouse! Wanting to build a greenhouse attached to the house, so it heats the home and the home heats it. Some gem ideas here in this video! 🙏🏼
This was a great video! I loved it even though I am in the opposite camp. I like the fact that you call out your opponents and expose the areas that they are buying into the internet hype on certain "facts". I am subscribed to all of the people you cut to at the beginning. There is always room to hear different viewpoint and consider. When you said you wouldn't eat a fish because of the impact on ocean life, I am interested in that. Show me why you are so opposed to that in a video. I'm listening!
My guess is he would recommend the documentary "seaspiracy". The crashing fish-populations, cruelty, bycatch, plastic load from fishing nets etc
From Business Insider:
Steve Jobs later read a book called “Mucusless Diet Healing System,” by Arnold Ehret, which led to an even stricter diet. In addition to traditional meats and proteins, Jobs also gave up bread, grains, and milk. (Ehret died at the age of 56, just like Jobs.)
In 2008, when Jobs underwent surgery to remove part of his pancreas, (his wife Laurene) Powell started incorporating fish and other proteins into their meals. But his health was poor and he was losing a ton of weight. He would still ask his personal chef Bryar Brown for a carrot salad, or lemongrass soup, or a simple pasta with basil.
Thank you. When I knew him and ate a lot of dinners with him, he was no longer extreme. But he did love cookies, healthy-looking ones, but I always wondered how much shortening there was in them in the day.
Fascinating video. I’ve watched it twice. I’m still confused. Sometimes I really hate nutrition.
It is confusing… I did my utmost to clarify but still there are things that are confusing. Do algal oils work as well as fish? Are oils as healthy as no oils at all, or just compared to other forms of fat?
@@Viva-Longevity I think after one gets there required amount of fats and oils they are neutral. The only strong correlation that exists is more fruits , vegetables , legumes and some nuts with low overall amounts of meat leads to longevity so long as the calorie intake is correct. The 2 fold problems of processed food is it's more desirable and less nutritious and thirdly preparing food in it of itself reduces consumption because it's work if one cooks at home. I think the donut or french fries are the perfect processed foods because they have all 3 nutrients that people argue about, some say it's the sugar coating of both french fries and donuts, some say it must be the fat, some say it must be the processed starch rather than just saying they are empty calories which is the big issue.
The major problem with most non-cold-pressed, ASAP refrigerated/freezed oils is their high content of Age-products (Advanced glycation end products)! AGE products measures, in our system, are demonstrated to be a strong indicator of metabolic health, among other correlates. And this content, of AGE-products, in foods is directly related to all the usual parameters affecting oxidation/degeneration (heating/storage/light/air). The problem with nutrition studies, in general, is that we are really comparing horrendous diets to slightly less terrible versions thereof. I would estimate that less than 1% of the people on the planet follow a truly healthy diet, with 12-20/plus pieces of color-full, well-cultivated fruits and vegetables (and herbs) daily, with a truly low Age-product content and, conversely, with many AGE product countering compounds in the polyphenolic (etc.) content therein. (all high fats and protein foods accumulate these products to a high degree when exposed to the former factors (which they are from the moment of conception, in the case of animal foods). Fresh nuts and seeds are relatively low in AGE products, but when you roast them the AGE content increases dramatically as well)). Note: I do not intend to indicate that polyphenols/phytonutrients only serve to lower AGE products, they are evidenced to support every system in the body, basically, and to counter any disease, practically.
Fascinating, Daniel. Thanks. I'm gonna investigate.
I tried to listen to the debate on Simon Hill's podcast. After 30 minutes I gave up. Congrats if you lasted the entire 3.5 hours. I hear Dr Greger's refrain "compared to what", I think it applies here.
I’ll start by saying that I was very critical of your last video, for good reason, and there are a few topics that we talked about that you still haven’t addressed. That said, this was a well made video and was significantly more honest and thorough than the last one. I appreciate the work you put into this video and hopefully it will inspire people to have a better understanding of their fat intake. Regarding your question about no fat versus incorporating fat into the diet, essential fatty acid intake should be factored into a healthy diet at a bare minimum. Thank you for addressing the topic.
Hello Chris, thank you as always for your amazing videos, I have been working in the health industry for over 20 years, when the omega 3 boom started in the late 90's, began working with local communities in the Peruvian highland and currently over the past 7 years in the tropical savanna of Brazil known as the cerrado. Both of these regions are far away from the ocean traditional access to foods rich in omega 3's ALA or DHA/EPA are almost non existent, even though they both ate fish it was not on a daily basis. The traditional diets mainly consisted of tubers and legumes, avocado, veggies, local fruits and culinary nuts are available. They do eat meat and dairy products but this is more recently dating back to the past 100-150 years, before mammal were introduced into these regions, I wondered where they obtained their omega-3's? I had long talks with communities in the Chiquitana which is the cerrado region of Bolivia, they mentioned how their ancestors ate basically out of their "canchon" their small backyard farms were they grew crops and raised animals (turkey's, ducks, guinea pigs mainly) and had a wide variety of veggies and other crops, they wild harvested local fruits and edible nuts like Baru nuts. The academic research is sound no doubt, when it comes to omega-3's health benefits, however when confronted with these communities were omega-3's are not abundant it raises more questions.
Vegetable oils cause cholesterol to oxidize.
Your comments on controversy of heating oil was noteworthy. This past year I quit spraying oil on the food I cooked in the air fryer because of the heavy residue that accumulated on the basket. I assumed it was oxidized oil. Air frying food that has been misted with oil tastes far better then food cooked without any oil so if the truth is that its harmless that would be good information.
Thanks, Kent. I'm set to interview a food science professor from Harvard, Guy Crosby, in October and we've been talking about heating oils. It does seem to be the most heat stable food, but the foods we cook in them infuse the oil and how much it changes the oil really depends on what you're cooking. Cooking some foods in oil protects them, however, like beef, so it doesn't burn as much as it would directly on a metal grill. 🤷
@jodiemasterson6418 I spray on a little bit of oil after cooking for taste as well as giving season something to stick to. Even with the spray, it's a fraction of the oil consumed when frying.
so omega 3 index correlates with longetivity, and hundreeds of millions of people arounde world hate eating fish (and they seem to be quite alive) and veganism correlates with longevitiy. But we cannot convert ALA in enough EPA and DHA. Like something does not fit into this picture.
It is the same for b12, long term vegans as donald watson itself didn't supplemented for decades and they lived long and heathy.
I wonder if people don't take to you because of the name of your channel. When I first saw it I felt like I was going to get information which was skewed towards one particular outcome. I'm happy to say that the videos are excellent and it was great to see a shot across the bows of Dr 'Hello Health Champions' Ekberg and Thomas Delauer.
Yeah, maybe I should change it.
Hi Chris I have yet to watch this video but wondered have you come across ‘The Coconut Oil Miracle’ book yet? And what does your research say on Coconut oil? Thank you for being you
This oil conundrum has been driving me nuts after adopting a plant based diet to lower my cholesterol a few months ago! Thanks for evoking the rollercoaster of contradictory influencer opinions one gets on when trying to eat healthier. And thanks for slicing through this with some clarity. The dieting influencer space might be more demented than political TH-cam!
Hahaha, thanks! I don't know whether to laugh or cry about the dieting influencer space. 😁😢🤷
I love how you dropped a barbel medicine clip in this video! Very well done video and Solid perspective on this side of subject
You put all vegetable oils in the same bag. Olive oil is simply olive juice, it comes directly from the olive only by pressing. Nowadays, seed oils are obtained by less healthy procedures. Probably in the Middle Ages the solvents used to obtain them were nota the same. Study the process please. I come from and island in the Mediterranean, from a olive oil family maker.
Great video Chris!
Would be good to know who funded the studies of pro-veggie oil
Ok Chris, you and me, 100 year olds, 100 yard dash … can’t wait 🏃♀️ 🏃♂️
haha can we watch that 🙈
wow, this is a phenominal video. I really which you could spend some time talking about seed oil oxidation and it's connection to oxLDL, thanks for the informative video!
Awesome and amazing in-depth video as always!
Dang you look good on that bike!
Thank you #SaveSoil #Consciousplanet. I now feel better about consuming first press peanut , sesame and mustard oil.
Chris thanks again for another interesting episode!! I’ve been enjoying your videos lately on my spin bike rides. Biking season is maybe a couple of months away here in Tahoe 😢. I’ve been interested in testing my Omega 3 levels so thanks for the source of where we can do that. By the way did you end up finding a good vegan omega 3 supplement with both DHA and EPA? Thanks
Tahoe! I’m jealous. I need to get up there and ski! I haven’t found good DHA/EPA vegan supplements but haven’t looked as hard as I should. You?
@@Viva-Longevity I haven’t yet found a vegan EPA. I’ll do some research on it. I have to be careful with the inactive ingredients some supplement companies put in their supplements. You still have plenty of time to ski. The resorts are staying open till the beginning of May.
So after watching all 46 minutes of your very extensive vid, I need to know the following: 1. Should vegans take oil supplements, if so, what dose and which brand do you recommend? 2. If not consuming oil to replace saturated fat, should vegans add oil to their diet or not? If so, which oils and how much? Thank you.
The more people who transition over to algae sources of EPA/DHA, the more likely that we can get a handle on the over fishing plaguing our earth.
People catch fish to eat/survive hunger,not to make Omega-3 supplements. Only rich westerners have such distorted views about reality.
Google Global Omega 3 Market Outlook to learn how false your statement is.
LOL!!!!!! You warned us not to watch until the end. All I have to say is HUBBA HUBBA~!!!!
The explanation about the photo on the ruck answers a decade old question about why you did that. Thanks for the oil disambiguation. Funny that we were discussing oil in your CSM thread earlier in the month.
Hahaha, it was for Striking Viking. I thought it was a great gift so I didn't think much of a quick photo. Kinda like wearing a bathing suit to swim, right?
@@Viva-Longevity He was a big part of my lurking almost 25 years ago. Dude kept me riveted and ready for the next episode.
Chris, excellent video as always. Perhaps you could do a video in the future about exactly what we are doing to the oceans and why you don’t eat fish. I’d be looking specifically for your reasons based on your scientific background. That would be an interesting video. Thank you for all the great information.
As an extra, I might add I’m still not clear as to whether it’s OK for me to use extra-virgin olive oil for both cooking and putting on my salads? I’m kind of new to this stuff and it’s a bit overwhelming trying to get it right.
Thanks Jack! Yeah, the oceans are a sad story. Most of us in earth science went into it out of a sense of wonder and awe for the miracle that is the plant, the oceans, the life...and we are all dying inside as we watch a miracle of our universe degrade as it's doing. 😔
As for extra virgin olive oil, it's not you, it's us. 😁 You will hear many very well informed doctors and scientists with different points of view. But I think you can get almost all of them to agree to a few things: (1) if it's used in a processed food, it's bad; (2) if it's used in moderation a healthy, whole food Mediterranean or Asian-style diet, it may not be a superfood, but in the scheme of things, it's healthy, certainly compared to saturated fats; (3) for people with heart disease and diabetes, they could probably do better with whole plant alternatives.
@@Viva-Longevity Just to be sure that I understand you: am I safe in using 50ml-100ml to pop some corn every day for vitamin E?
@@Viva-Longevity Saturated fat is the healthiest type of fat you can consume.
@@eugenetswong Use butter (from cows), or beef tallow.
@@aliendroneservices6621 no, no it is not. You do NOT "NEED" saturated fat. And butter is not a health promoting food🙄
Lol cuz I took the exact same DHA+DPA a while back only to make the same realization about its lack of EPA. So weird to exclude it.
Ha! Now I don’t feel so dumb ‘cus I greatly admire your episodes. Just watched your episode on Liver King. 😱 Wonder what his ferritin levels are? I’m betting iron overload.
Frenchie here! Loved this video and its predecessor! Likewise I'm still waiting on the plant/liquid oil vs no oil data. Until then it's moderation for me. I would be interested in one of those analytical tests and a battery of tests may be my Christmas wish this year from the family 😆
This is great. I wondered if you had commented (in orevious videos) on Esselstyn's findings that all added oils (as imposed to those found in whole foods) are harmful/irritating to endothelial cells.
Hey Dewey, I always enjoy your videos! Congratulations on your Newy Dewey. I wonder what she’ll be doing when she grows up:)
Such an easy to understand and informative video on omega 3 fatty acid and liquid oils!
Excellent video as always.
I think I will continue shopping the outer rim of the grocery store, and stick to my EVOO.
You should definitely reach out to Mic the Vegan, Gojiman, Simnet Nutrition, or Healthy Crazy Cool for some potential video collaborations! All are super smart vegans, mic and gojiman make videos similar to you with lots of research, Derek from SN is awesome for plant based athletic training, and miles at HCC did clinical nutrition and is a former elite tennis player and knows his stuff when it comes to vegan nutrition!
