Agreed. I had a cardiologist recommend a statin (to which I said no thanks) and that inspired me to do some serious research to help me vastly improved my lipid ratios through diet and lifestyle.

I’m one of those people that ate 3-4 eggs a day for a year. Of course with low carb and high fat. all my blood markers got way better except cholesterol. It stayed exactly the same. Eating cholesterol did not raise it. Blood pressure 150/90 now 110/65. Lost 35 pounds. 5 inches off my waist. No longer pre diabetic. Acid reflux gone after 2 weeks in. I’m at the weight I was in my 20’s. No meds. I’m 68.
Outstanding presentation. For anyone that doesn't want to drill through the details in Taubes' books this video covers the essentials and I'll be sure to forward to anyone I know. I'll also be on the lookout for anything published by Dr. Diamond. I started a modified ketogenic diet with whole foods about 8 months ago and I plan to stay on it for life provided all of the enormous benefits that I've encountered continue indefinitely.
I’m 64. I’ve been on a Keto diet (High Fat 70%, Protein 25%, Low Carb 5%) since mid Jan 2019 and I have had High Blood Pressure most of my life and I’ve been on meds for the last 20 years. 3 months ago I came off the meds, since my blood pressure readings were getting really low. I now have slightly lower blood pressure than is normal, but since this is not causing me to be dizzy when standing, it’s not a problem, the main thing is that I no longer have to take medication. I only had 11 lbs to lose when I started on Keto which came off in about 6 weeks and I now practice intermittent fasting, usually for 22 hours a day and 2 hours eating. If I go slightly over my weight, I fast for 46 hours, with no problem and I can stay at my usual weight. If I go more than 3lbs under my weight I will have a late lunch but still practice intermittent fasting for 19 hours and 5 eating. I have got a sweet tooth so I do make puddings using Erythritol sweetener and I have a dessert every day, and I use Sucralose as my preferred sweetener in hot drinks. I love this lifestyle because although I used to be on a low fat diet before, I was always hungry! This diet, I’m not! Since losing the weight, I am now losing inches even though I still stay at the same weight. So the excess fat is going from my tummy and the tops of my thighs. I don’t exercise, but do intend to get my Pilates machine out, once we have had the work completed on our home to give me some room to have the machine out all the time. Friday is the completion day! So I’m looking forward to getting my body toned! I can’t recommend the Keto diet highly enough to lose weight and to keep healthy!
Since I've learned about the cholesterol myth, I've gone on a very strict low carb diet. Since September 2, 2018 I have only consume mostly animal sourced foods. Previous to this, my cholesterol numbers always looked good. I actually got my total to 156 on 4/3/2018. However, after going low carb, I recently I had two lipid panels showing my total cholesterol to be in the mid 700's 01/15/19 Total 758, Tri - 230, HDL - 53, LDL - 659 12/13/18 Total 770, Tri - 160, HDL - 87, LDL - 651 Prior to my low carb diet I was eating more of a vegan diet with low fat. These were my numbers 8 months prior to my December test where again on September 2, 2018 I switched to carniovre.. 04/03/18 Total 156, Tri - 70, HDL - 63, LDL - 79 For my age (52) and height (5" 10"), I've always maintained an optimal body weight of around 160 pounds. My body fat percentage stays around 12-15 percent. I workout with weights 5 times per week for the past 4 years and intermittent fast often. So I'm very curious why this drastic change in my lipid number after becoming fat adapted on a carnivore diet? Most others on keto/carnivore diets have elevated lipid levels but so few ever report these kinds of exorbitant numbers, which just started to occur about 3 months after I went strict carnivore. Anyone have any thoughts?
And the French also eat a lot of bread. Explain that? Well French bread is fermented for 24 hours to 48 hours. What that does is allows the yeast to Ferment the carbohydrates and sugars in the wheat. Less carbohydrates and sugar more nutritious bread. That was explained by an Italian Dr. Alessio Fasano Who is an expert on leaky gut syndrome, Who explained that even the fresh pasta in Italy are allowed to dry naturally allowing the wheat and water and eggs to do partial fermentation. So if you’re going to eat wheat do it the old-fashioned way. Also the French and Italian eat very small portions compared to anything American eat.

Yep, a number of French professional tennis players are noticeably leaner than many other players on the tour, particularly the men - Simone, Monfils, Paire, Mahut, Benneteau, Chardy, Robert... Tsonga and Pouille look a little more bulky but there doesn't seem to be any spare tire there. Gasquet has the body-type of a 6 foot dwarf.
True. I lived in France, and French women even have a tendency to be too thin (for my taste). What I wonder about, is all the baguettes that the French consume. When I'm there, I eat a lot of bread.
30:54 He's probably right on what caused heart disease to increase at such alarming rates in the first half of the 20th century, but he leaves out several other important details worth noting: during that same time period, not only did smoking and intake of trans fats increase, but sugar intake also increased. During that same time, you also had the introduction of modern conveniences to the masses such as radio, television, and automobiles, which made people more sedentary and reduced their physical activity. These factors probably contributed to the rise in heart disease as well. In fact, Ancel Keys' own studies showed that heart disease correlated to owning an auto or a TV set, as well as sugar intake, but like the conflicting data in his fat study, he ignored this because he had already decided that animal fat was the villain. (Of course, I realize that correlation doesn't necessarily mean causation, but the fact that those three correlations existed in his data should have merited further investigation, but in his mind it didn't.)
@hotwax9376 I agree it's the diet. I totally disagree about blaming it on TV or automobiles. Millions of people work physically all day long yet still get fat. It's the DIET. You cannot outrun a bad diet.
Refined carbs are the carbs that spike blood sugar, not complex carbs like beans which are very high in fiber that slows the release of the sugars in them. Have you checked out the recent 8 week long Dr. Hall metabolic ward study? It basically proves that the high carb diet vs low carb lead to roughly the same amount of weight loss in people which may lead one to think that carbs aren't as bad as they were believed to be. The take away is to avoid refined carbs, trans fat which includes cooking with olive oil, and added sugars.
Winner for Life The thing is beans are very starchy and a lot of people have a blood sugar spike. The only way to know is to check your own blood sugar to see if you spike. Remember everyone is different.
Winner for Life , how is the weight loss going? Read the book "Diabetes Epidemic and You" by Dr. Joseph Kraft, MD. Diabetes type 2 is an insulin resistance problem, not a blood sugar (glucose) problem. As long as your pancreas can put out a huge enough amount of insulin to overcome the body cells' insulin resistance, you won't see a spike in blood glucose. Read the book "The Obesity Code" by Dr. Jason Fung, MD. His book explains which hormones cause us to gain weight, which hormones cause us to lose weight, how to decrease the hormones that cause us to gain weight, and how to increase the hormones that cause us to lose weight. Basically: (1) Eat low carbohydrate foods. (2) Get sufficient sleep each day. (3) Get rid of things that stress you too much. (4) Use therapeutic fasting. A major goal is to reduce your production of insulin as much as possible so that your body gets a break from insulin. There are people who like to tell people that there's a difference between complex carbohydrates, simple carbohydrates, saccharides, starches, fruita, sugars, and syrups. ("Eat our grain cereal because it doesn't have added sugars!"). Wrong! Complex carbohydrates, simple carbohydrates, saccharides, starches, sugars, fruits, and syrups are all carbohydrates. The human digestive system, sooner or later, digests them all into one of three monosaccharides: glucose, galactose, and fructose. The human intestine is about 21 feet long. Whether the glucose gets absorbed in the first foot or last foot if the intestine, the glucose causes the pancreas to produce excess insulin. Do what Dr. Richard Bernstein says in "Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution", what Dr. Tim Noakes says when he explains the Banting eating style, what Dr. Jason Fung says, and what the three doctors of "The New Atkins for a New You" say: eat low carb by eliminating grains, dried beans, potatoes, fruits, sugars, syrups, milk, and yogurt. Instead, eat animal fats, animal proteins, low-carb vegetables such as kale, spices, herbs, and zero-carb cheeses. Look up "Banting diet green list" to see all the low-carbohydrate vegetables and other foods that you can eat. I plan to eat low-carbohydrate for the rest of my life because of so much obesity, overweightness, and/or diabetes type 2 among my ancestors, relatives, and self. High insulin damages the cardiovascular system, causing cardiovascular diseases. I can't know when my body is insulin resistant because no one has invented an "insulin monitor". We just have home glucose monitors. After everything that the medical and food industry have done to our health just to make more money, I wouldn't trust an "insulin monitor" without testing the monitor against a Kraft 5-hour insulin assay test.
@@kimberlycooper4170 You point out the key element here in avoiding starches like 'high fiber beans'; the matter isn't so much that it raises your glucose, it's how much insulin you're secreting to keep that glucose level down. So many people don't get this. I've been testing my glucose levels after the consumption of various foods and have noticed that some seemingly benign veggies (like those frozen steamable mixtures of carrots, lima beans, string beans, etc) can shoot my blood sugar way up. Yes, the fiber may slow down the absorption a bit, but carbs still break down to glucose, they still have the effect of sugar.
The guy with the second question thinks he’s giving the lecture get the hook way too long he shouldn’t be talking that long the audience didn’t come to listen to him
You might be able to have some fun with my brain. Okay wait... that didn’t sound right. I just mean that I’ve had some health matters over the years. I’ve had (I’m pretty sure) quite a bit of brain trauma. I had a traumatic brain injury from an accident about 15 years ago. Ever since that accident I’ve been on somewhat of a... rollercoaster ride (so to speak) with varying health matters. In April 2018, outta the blue I had a stroke. I’m still perplexed by that. The one thing that’s always been fairly normal/textbook for me was my blood pressure and after that I was like.... “what the heck where’d this come from?” Things have been a little off kilter for here lately the main doctor I’ve had over the past 20+ years is no longer practicing. It’s been a real shock for everyone, this happened out of the blue and now he’s on hospice care. I’m so terribly upset, but ya know I still gotta try and take care of myself still though, ya know. I think I have potential to be a LOT healer than I have been for the last few years. I just figured if I ignored it all, it’d go away. Smh. And THAT is not how things have panned out for me. I really don’t know how to get out of this rut I’m apparently in. I’ve had seizures since my accident, I take a medicine to prevent them and I need a doctor that can take care off my lungs and my seizures and help me to figure out what I need to do in order to be as healthy as I can be. I’m very discouraged though because I seriously don’t even know where to start. Darn it nothing has actually gone the way I’d planned for my life. Do you think it’s too late for me to have better health though??
Really need to distinguish among carbs. There is no need to increase meat and fat to the extreme degrees that many do, although ketogenesis for therapeutic reasons, just like fasting, obviously has it's place. Juices, breads, pasta, etc. can be, and likely are, culprits. Excess protein has been shown to drive up IGF-1 (Ref. Valter Longo) which is one driver for tumor growth and animal protein, especially excess, is also harmful to kidney function. My markers radically improved on a vegan diet, but does not include junk, juices, breads, pasta, and is modest in protein. We very much need more testing to parse out dietary issues. Diamond's talk goes nowhere to explain populations studies of healthy long-lived people like those in the blue zones.
Peter , at your annual medical checkup, get a Kraft 5-hour insulin assay test as described in the book "Diabetes Epidemic and You" by Dr. Joseph Kraft, MD. As long as your pancreas can produce a huge enough amount of insulin to override insulin resistance, your blood glucose will test acceptable. Hyperinsulinemia (high blood insulin) silently causes cardiovascular diseases for years and years until the pancreas poops out and can no longer produce sufficient insulin to override the the insulin resistance. The human digestive system digests all carbohydrates (complex carbohydrates, simple carbohydrates, saccharides, starches, fruits, sugars/syrups) into one of three monosaccharides: glucose, galactose, and fructose. The publicly-traded carbohydrate corporations have suckered many of us into thinking that there's a difference: "Eat our breakfast cereal because it has no added sugars."
The quote “blue zones “ are a myth. They and the original peoples before contact with the western diet were high in sea foods , Offal and low GI fruits and some vegetables. The key is that these diets are LOW IN FRUCTOSE , the five member sugar which is converted to fats ! “But when Smith analyzed total mortality rates from the study as a function of the frequencies of consuming cheese, meat, milk, eggs and fat attached to meat, he found that the total death rate decreased as the frequencies of consuming cheese, eggs, meat and milk increased. The second study was published by Burr and Sweetnam in 1982. It showed that the annual death rate from heart disease among vegetarians was only 0.01 percent lower than that of nonvegetarians, yet the authors described that difference as “substantial.” The difference in all-cause death rate was in the opposite direction, namely higher for vegetarians, especially female vegetarians.” nourishingtraditions.com/true-blue-zones-loma-linda/ Mortality in vegetarians and comparable nonvegetarians in the United Kingdom. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/26657045/ Vegetarianism: What the Science Tells Us www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/abcs-of-nutrition/vegetarianism-what-the-science-tells-us/ Debunking of :Dr Michael Greger is a strident vegan.

Finally, someone who correctly represents the diet of Okinawa, "The Island of Pork" : 57:38
It's completely false. Their diet has been studied and less than 1% of calories came from meat, that includes pork.

I wonder if there's a link between the outdated food pyramid with grains making up the bulk of the diet and the fact that the US is one of the biggest producers of wheat in the world.
Yes ! See the 1977 McGovern commission and how he bulldozed HIS views written by an unscientific vegan staffer!

Ya think? Lol
Yep, a number of French professional tennis players are noticeably leaner than many other players on the tour, particularly the men - Simone, Monfils, Paire, Mahut, Benneteau, Chardy, Robert...
Tsonga and Pouille look a little more bulky but there doesn't seem to be any spare tire there.
Gasquet has the body-type of a 6 foot dwarf.
True. I lived in France, and French women even have a tendency to be too thin (for my taste). What I wonder about, is all the baguettes that the French consume. When I'm there, I eat a lot of bread.
30:54 He's probably right on what caused heart disease to increase at such alarming rates in the first half of the 20th century, but he leaves out several other important details worth noting: during that same time period, not only did smoking and intake of trans fats increase, but sugar intake also increased. During that same time, you also had the introduction of modern conveniences to the masses such as radio, television, and automobiles, which made people more sedentary and reduced their physical activity. These factors probably contributed to the rise in heart disease as well. In fact, Ancel Keys' own studies showed that heart disease correlated to owning an auto or a TV set, as well as sugar intake, but like the conflicting data in his fat study, he ignored this because he had already decided that animal fat was the villain. (Of course, I realize that correlation doesn't necessarily mean causation, but the fact that those three correlations existed in his data should have merited further investigation, but in his mind it didn't.)
It's the DIET.
@@spaceghost8995 I don't know if you're agreeing with me (and sarcastically exposing the absurdity) or disagreeing.
@hotwax9376 I agree it's the diet. I totally disagree about blaming it on TV or automobiles. Millions of people work physically all day long yet still get fat. It's the DIET. You cannot outrun a bad diet.
Very interesting!!
Love Dr. Diamond and am doing low carb and feeling great but can I eat beans like navy beans or do they cause a spike in blood sugar?
Refined carbs are the carbs that spike blood sugar, not complex carbs like beans which are very high in fiber that slows the release of the sugars in them. Have you checked out the recent 8 week long Dr. Hall metabolic ward study? It basically proves that the high carb diet vs low carb lead to roughly the same amount of weight loss in people which may lead one to think that carbs aren't as bad as they were believed to be. The take away is to avoid refined carbs, trans fat which includes cooking with olive oil, and added sugars.
Thanks
Winner for Life The thing is beans are very starchy and a lot of people have a blood sugar spike. The only way to know is to check your own blood sugar to see if you spike. Remember everyone is different.
Winner for Life , how is the weight loss going?
Read the book "Diabetes Epidemic and You" by Dr. Joseph Kraft, MD. Diabetes type 2 is an insulin resistance problem, not a blood sugar (glucose) problem. As long as your pancreas can put out a huge enough amount of insulin to overcome the body cells' insulin resistance, you won't see a spike in blood glucose.
Read the book "The Obesity Code" by Dr. Jason Fung, MD. His book explains which hormones cause us to gain weight, which hormones cause us to lose weight, how to decrease the hormones that cause us to gain weight, and how to increase the hormones that cause us to lose weight. Basically:
(1) Eat low carbohydrate foods.
(2) Get sufficient sleep each day.
(3) Get rid of things that stress you too much.
(4) Use therapeutic fasting.
A major goal is to reduce your production of insulin as much as possible so that your body gets a break from insulin.
There are people who like to tell people that there's a difference between complex carbohydrates, simple carbohydrates, saccharides, starches, fruita, sugars, and syrups. ("Eat our grain cereal because it doesn't have added sugars!").
Wrong! Complex carbohydrates, simple carbohydrates, saccharides, starches, sugars, fruits, and syrups are all carbohydrates. The human digestive system, sooner or later, digests them all into one of three monosaccharides: glucose, galactose, and fructose.
The human intestine is about 21 feet long. Whether the glucose gets absorbed in the first foot or last foot if the intestine, the glucose causes the pancreas to produce excess insulin.
Do what Dr. Richard Bernstein says in "Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution", what Dr. Tim Noakes says when he explains the Banting eating style, what Dr. Jason Fung says, and what the three doctors of "The New Atkins for a New You" say: eat low carb by eliminating grains, dried beans, potatoes, fruits, sugars, syrups, milk, and yogurt. Instead, eat animal fats, animal proteins, low-carb vegetables such as kale, spices, herbs, and zero-carb cheeses. Look up "Banting diet green list" to see all the low-carbohydrate vegetables and other foods that you can eat.
I plan to eat low-carbohydrate for the rest of my life because of so much obesity, overweightness, and/or diabetes type 2 among my ancestors, relatives, and self. High insulin damages the cardiovascular system, causing cardiovascular diseases. I can't know when my body is insulin resistant because no one has invented an "insulin monitor". We just have home glucose monitors. After everything that the medical and food industry have done to our health just to make more money, I wouldn't trust an "insulin monitor" without testing the monitor against a Kraft 5-hour insulin assay test.
@@kimberlycooper4170 You point out the key element here in avoiding starches like 'high fiber beans'; the matter isn't so much that it raises your glucose, it's how much insulin you're secreting to keep that glucose level down. So many people don't get this. I've been testing my glucose levels after the consumption of various foods and have noticed that some seemingly benign veggies (like those frozen steamable mixtures of carrots, lima beans, string beans, etc) can shoot my blood sugar way up. Yes, the fiber may slow down the absorption a bit, but carbs still break down to glucose, they still have the effect of sugar.
Excellent, however I found it difficult to hear those asking questions after his formal presentation.
I,m too poor for this diet.
If u can afford eggs u can do this.
Why the book "coronary heart disease: sense and nonsense" costs $700 and $900 on amazon, and newengland journal of medicine demonizes this book?
The guy with the second question thinks he’s giving the lecture get the hook way too long he shouldn’t be talking that long the audience didn’t come to listen to him
This is not good news for cows, pigs, chicken, eggs and Peta. We are carnivores.
You might be able to have some fun with my brain.
Okay wait... that didn’t sound right. I just mean that I’ve had some health matters over the years. I’ve had (I’m pretty sure) quite a bit of brain trauma. I had a traumatic brain injury from an accident about 15 years ago. Ever since that accident I’ve been on somewhat of a... rollercoaster ride (so to speak) with varying health matters.
In April 2018, outta the blue I had a stroke. I’m still perplexed by that. The one thing that’s always been fairly normal/textbook for me was my blood pressure and after that I was like.... “what the heck where’d this come from?”
Things have been a little off kilter for here lately the main doctor I’ve had over the past 20+ years is no longer practicing. It’s been a real shock for everyone, this happened out of the blue and now he’s on hospice care. I’m so terribly upset, but ya know I still gotta try and take care of myself still though, ya know.
I think I have potential to be a LOT healer than I have been for the last few years. I just figured if I ignored it all, it’d go away. Smh.
And THAT is not how things have panned out for me.
I really don’t know how to get out of this rut I’m apparently in. I’ve had seizures since my accident, I take a medicine to prevent them and I need a doctor that can take care off my lungs and my seizures and help me to figure out what I need to do in order to be as healthy as I can be.
I’m very discouraged though because I seriously don’t even know where to start.
Darn it nothing has actually gone the way I’d planned for my life.
Do you think it’s too late for me to have better health though??
It looks like Dr. Diamond is far-sighted and not wearing his contact lenses in this video.
It is a little distracting but love his message.
Really need to distinguish among carbs. There is no need to increase meat and fat to the extreme degrees that many do, although ketogenesis for therapeutic reasons, just like fasting, obviously has it's place. Juices, breads, pasta, etc. can be, and likely are, culprits. Excess protein has been shown to drive up IGF-1 (Ref. Valter Longo) which is one driver for tumor growth and animal protein, especially excess, is also harmful to kidney function. My markers radically improved on a vegan diet, but does not include junk, juices, breads, pasta, and is modest in protein. We very much need more testing to parse out dietary issues. Diamond's talk goes nowhere to explain populations studies of healthy long-lived people like those in the blue zones.
Peter , at your annual medical checkup, get a Kraft 5-hour insulin assay test as described in the book "Diabetes Epidemic and You" by Dr. Joseph Kraft, MD. As long as your pancreas can produce a huge enough amount of insulin to override insulin resistance, your blood glucose will test acceptable.
Hyperinsulinemia (high blood insulin) silently causes cardiovascular diseases for years and years until the pancreas poops out and can no longer produce sufficient insulin to override the the insulin resistance.
The human digestive system digests all carbohydrates (complex carbohydrates, simple carbohydrates, saccharides, starches, fruits, sugars/syrups) into one of three monosaccharides: glucose, galactose, and fructose. The publicly-traded carbohydrate corporations have suckered many of us into thinking that there's a difference: "Eat our breakfast cereal because it has no added sugars."
The quote “blue zones “ are a myth. They and the original peoples before contact with the western diet were high in sea foods , Offal and low GI fruits and some vegetables. The key is that these diets are LOW IN FRUCTOSE , the five member sugar which is converted to fats !
“But when Smith analyzed total mortality rates from the study as a function of the frequencies of consuming cheese, meat, milk, eggs and fat attached to meat, he found that the total death rate decreased as the frequencies of consuming cheese, eggs, meat and milk increased.
The second study was published by Burr and Sweetnam in 1982. It showed that the annual death rate from heart disease among vegetarians was only 0.01 percent lower than that of nonvegetarians, yet the authors described that difference as “substantial.” The difference in all-cause death rate was in the opposite direction, namely higher for vegetarians, especially female vegetarians.”
