As a scientist, I love how you consider actual papers and consult experts before explaining the topic. Unseen behaviour on TH-cam.
well yes but his information is still uncorrected because he probably doesn't have enough background knowledge to tell when a study or paper is flawed. society has a huge issue with deliberate dietary misinformation and lack of experts since no doctors ever learn nutrition (just one week or something, where they learn only the proven to be wrong guidelines). try finding an expert who understands both nutrition and the biology of the human body plus the necessary chemistry to understand the interactions of substances... yes good luck there probably aren't many people like that

@@Mori_712 oh I thought he was a food science professor
Not exactly unseen, Jeff Nippard also does a great job citing scientific research in his videos
Tiktok: We don't do that here
Can you do an episode on MSG? It might be another topic that has a lot of misinformation in the mainstream.
It's on the list!
@@aragusea MSG: Too Delicious for Human Consumption?
The big thing about msg is that it sometimes gives some people headaches, and one person wrote a article saying that they get headaches each time they eat Chinese food. And it’s sucks because for most people they will be fine. Like I get migraines from BBQ Sauce. You don’t see me bout to write an article saying BBQ Sauce isn’t good. I mean I’d have the entire state of Texas chasing me sooooo...
@@aragusea Ooh that's awesome! There's a ton of misinformation about it right now, so it'll be great when you help clear it up!
@@kapriobrien msg for me usually made me scratchy, as much as i love chinese food i absolutely hate being so itchy
As Italians, we are required by law and by genetics to love olive oil and use it for literally everything.
As a fellow Italian I can conform
😆😆
I use olive oil instead of butter for my Mac and Cheese.

"Fat is bad for you"
Made by: sugar squad
This reminds me of when George Carlin pulled out a paper randomly once during a show and said
"Here is a letter from the national pancake institution and it says FUCK WAFFLES."
@@ColonelPatchy1 I love waffles.
Sugar is bad for you
Made by the fat mafia
Refined vegetable oils are bad for you though. As bad as sugar. Never eat refined carbs and also never eat refined oils.
@@snifey7694 made by the mountains of scientific evidence you mean :D
But remember kids, Adam Regusea is always good for you. You can never get too much.

Why kids would watch a guy that gives tips about food, instead watching cartoons
@@henriuxx5858 because everybody loves food dude
And thats a fact.
True
“Saturated fats can raise LDL.”
*throwback to the 2 stick of butter chicken pot pie*
comet ags Exactly what I thought 😂
LDL isn't actually as amazing of an indicator of something like high risk of stroke as once thought. I think the big indicator currently is HDL to triglycerides ratio. A huge number of people on keto will actually have a high LDL, but all other factors of metabolic syndrome and risk of stroke and heart attack improve as evidence by either Jeff Volek's or Stephen Phinney's research. Both might have been involved; I don't quite remember. Eat that butter, fam.
SamuraiBatgirl i will thank you for the wise words
Yeah but flavor though 🍔
I made that one, it was worth all the fat it it.
For what it's worth, after dramatically increasing my fat intake using almost exclusively saturated fat, my total cholesterol did go up a fair bit, but the increase in HDL was far higher than the LDL and put it into a healthy ratio for the first time in my life. My triglycerides also fell through the floor, but I believe that was more likely due to cutting almost all carbs, and all sugars.
@Obfu Scate shh! Don’t tell others!
i wonder what the anti-low-carb cult has to say about that.
also consider that you are likely eating less in volume. Most foods that are naturally high in fat are also high in protein which is dense and filling.
Not all fats are created equal in regards to HDL and LDL. Cis fatty acids increase HDL, saturated fats increase LDL, and trans fats both increase LDL and decrease HDL. It’s not always about overall fat consumption, but about which fats.
LDLs are simply HDLs that are arriving at the site to put out the fire of inflammation rather than coming back after
Both of my roommates have suffered from orthorexia (the obsession of eating well and counting every calorie and macronutrient) and have avoided fats and carbs as much as they could to avoid getting fat or ill. Unfortunately, one of them developed an acute form of bowel inflammation, because eating absolutely no fats for a long period of time meant she couldn't absorb many vitamins and it made her ill anyway. Ironically, this meant the only thing she could safely eat without having terrible cramps or worse were mostly fats, the thing the body needed to function, so her cure was a true ketogenic diet (together with targeted anti inflammatory medicine). She's ok now, she can eat a more balanced diet after recovering and is honestly happier than she doesn't count every calorie and type of food.
That's hardcore metabolic rollercoaster 😮
You can tell this man is a university professor. Every source he’s ever cited was of a highly credible and extensively researched source. I’m glad for the success Adam has been receiving! He’s played it perfectly. If people in the future want to know how to *correctly* make a living on TH-cam, Adam is the standard.
He's a journalist professor in Mercer University.
Coz he really is one...
every university student who studies a science has to provide relevant credible scholarly articles (in the past 10 years). its a big pain.
100% agree. every video this dude makes is ON POINT
Generally you can tell when someone knows what they are talking about when they talk more like "well, it depends perhaps" rather then "this is simple and everyone should do it!!!"
We must get this man to 1 million subs. Quality content keep up the good work!
Hear hear!
It's a shame I can only subscribe once
Appreciate the support, y'all! Honestly, just sharing videos on your social accounts would help a lot! Gotta grow the audience base.
I say don’t, most channels turn bad.
Bee Hive i was your 1k ‘th like and I just wanted to let you know that
As a new dietetics and nutrition student, I LOVE these informative video formats you do! the interviews with experts i think also helps distinguish your channel from loads of other cooking channels. Thanks!
Great camera angles, credible sources, scientific proof, short and simple, organized editing, a bit of humor. Literally every part of Ragusea’s videos are just perfect
Adam! As a UNC nurse, I was so so stoked to see this! Showing your video to everyone on the unit tonight!
I parked in the hospital garage and had to carry my lights and everything like five blocks to the public health building and then it started pouring rain while i was doing the interview and i couldn't go back to my car for like two hours and none of this is interesting but i just mean to say that i was near your hospital for a very long time and it seemed very impressive
@@aragusea haha, it kind of looks like a hot mess from the outside right now, but we've got a lot of talent and love. Glad to have you around!
Makes me angry that the low fat, high carb diet is being taught everywhere in school. Misinformation from that smear campaign by the sugar industry has blinded everybody into not eating fats. Wonderful presentation, Adam!
What can I eat instead of lots of refined carbs
Thankfully it seems that philosophy is slowly fading away from schools
Low fat high carb diets DO still have their place for Athletes, bodybuilders, and anyone performing any level of strength training. Why do athletes eat lots of carbs but remain lean? Simple. They need the quick energy burst that only carbs can provide for building muscle and running further. Ask any gym bro on a low-carb or keto diet and he or she will tell you they perform much better when consuming a high-protein high-carb, low-fat diet. I know I do.
But for most sedentary individuals just trying to keep weight off, I would argue a low-carb diet IS superior. You will feel satiated longer, you won’t spike your insulin levels nearly as often, and you will have more consistent energy levels.
One thing we can all widely agree on is the Standard American diet containing a high amount of simple carbs from added sugars is whats causing the obesity pandemic. If Americans as a whole made some marginally more reasonable dietary choices such as swapping out breakfast cereal with eggs or whole wheat toast, replacing desserts with fruit or yogurt, and cut out all sugary drinks, and maybe eating some leafy greens every once in awhile, we would be significantly healthier with only minor changes to our diet. We have a tendency to make make a waaay bigger deal out of an individuals diet than it needs to be for simply staying healthy.
You can be healthy on a high-carb diet. However, you just need to stay away from SIMPLE carbs. Complex carbs found in many foods such as oats, whole wheat bread, brown rice, beans, sweet potatoes and vegetables are all good choices. Simple carbs such as sugars (especially with no fiber) will cause huge blood sugar spikes followed by a crash, and that is what causes type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
@@circletech7745 only at a high level carbs may be good for performance (but not health) and bodybuilders just want to be enormous so of-course they need to eat a lot, a lot of junk food and drugs too but if you want to have lean natural muscles lasting all your life low-carb is the best.
God this has to be the most underrated channel. Always an amazing video, well done 👍.
Thank you for helping make this more clear Adam! So many cooking channels seem to think fats are generally bad, and it's highly annoying.
I feel like these Universities must getting sick of Adam asking random food questions by now
Why would they ? Adam provides publicity to the Unis.
@@satoshiketchump I'm joking. I just find it funny that he finds the most over qualified person to answer a random question about cooking
Kieran Calverley while he definitely goes the extra mile to answer these questions - the answers are accurate coming from qualified professionals (the best source out there!) and is definitely something we can appreciate for a TH-cam video.
@@juliannemariaprades6714 Don't get me wrong, I love these videos
As a history graduate student (granted its a different discipline than nutrition, but hear me out), a lot of academics like it when people ask them about their fields.
Man I gotta tell you, I love how this channel originally started with food and recipes but is now branching off to food science and trying to help us be better. I appreciate what you do man.
It actually started with some random videos and audio tech tutorials and just spontaneously switched to food stuff. Not hating tho, I love his channel's variety and I am ok with whatever content he uploads.
Amazing video...So well researched and well put together. Very informative and useful. Thank you so much for this contribution to the community. As a recent subscriber I'm loving this content.
I gotta say, Adam your content is some of the absolute finest nutrition content in this platform. Keeps getting better too.
Well done mate.
this gives me big "Alton Brown Good Eats" flashbacks.... i love it
I love that show
@@jackkilroy5556 Good Eats is coming back! www.foodnetwork.com/fn-dish/shows/2019/7/alton-brown-good-eats-the-return

he also sounds almost exactly like Alton Brown
I feel like quite a few of Adams videos are different in message. Alton is anti gmo and believes MSG is harmful, for example, well atleast during the show

this is fantastic, actual research in a popular youtube video! I love Adam's commitment to presenting the facts as they stand rather than editorialising or simplifying it. Can we get this but for, like, every area of academia?
This is turning into one of my favorite food channels, it has some cool tips and recipes but it's also super informative about other stuff.
Yes another person that realizes that fats are good. It so annoying that everyone I meet thinks fats are evil. Thank you Adam for spreading the truth.
Carbs are the villian of this huge manga called life!
@@fernandocarlegenda8513 depends entirely on the types of carbs haha. Are you saying carbs that come from quinoa, whole wheat pasta, wild rice, brown rice, and vegetables are bad for you?
@@tobbe3574 yes, as grains still contain starches which get converted to sugar, and long term consumption of them has detrimental health effects. Although the carbs are not the only culprit within them. Grains are not healthy for many other reasons.
@@thejoelcameronbrown vegetables are apparently unhealthy, whats new hahaha
@@tobbe3574 honestly man haha, look into it. Not all are obviously but a lot of them are just pointless to eat. Fruit isn't tho.
My favorite video of yours, by far. This message is so important and needs to be watched by every doctor or nutritionist.
I recently found your videos and I'm loving them. I didn't want to watch this particular video because I thought it was going to be an ode to keto, saying things like you should worry more about the sugar in carrots than the calories in butter. I'm glad I watched it because I feel you provided clear, thorough information and a "moderation is best" approach. I won't be missing any video from now on.
Love your channel Adam. Really helping me through my depression to cook and try new things
This video is incredible. Thanks for running your TH-cam channel, Adam!
Great content coverage professor. I like how you're debunking food issues for the general population. It's this information that you share with us that makes me keep watching your videos. Can't wait for the next one!
Love how informative these videos are, cheers.
Have watched lots of your videos. But with this one, this one made me subscribe. Well done, great research and presentation!
I like the fact that you cover all aspects of food; the science and the cooking. Keep up the good work man!
I love science channels, food channels, and fitness channels. This video is awesome! Thanks for doing the interview and research. Great content.
Ah same here! It's so entertaining to watch and end up learning something too!
I first stumbled upon this channel when watching a recipe for clams, I believe. Needless to say, my hopes for dietary advice from TH-cam cooks weren't sky high, but wow, I am pleasantly surprised by such a well researched and scientifically sound video. Kudos!
as a fellow layman I feel like what makes Adam's videos great is the academic spirit behind them.
Sure, citing papers is important, but it's equally important to know the tools for critical thinking and being able to parse information based on things like corroboration, suspending belief, and most of all, being aware that you are a lay person.
I'm not saying us lay people have to bow down to scientists, more like not being insecure about now being sure about something, and pursuing things thoroughly enough that you see the various strengths and shortcomings of a variety of hypotheses and theories.
This channel is "Good Eats" but more down to earth. I adore it.
I love how the professor has like drawings of his kid hanging by his desk.. weirdly wholesome
I was incredibly confused because I read that sentence as the kids hanging and not the drawings. I think I need to get more sleep XD
This is really good. I've been telling people this for awhile. I like that you sang to your EVOO. It's exactly how I feel.
Always important to remember higher cholesterol (both HDL and LDL) is related to longer life and lower risk of heart disease. He mentioned triglycerides so I'd hoped he'd make a note on this(all studies that control for triglycerides come to this conclusion)
Really loving the scientific videos, keep up the great work Adam!
This is the closest I've seen someone come to good eats and I love it
thank you for shedding light on this we've been lied to so many times by big business who affect the gov't to such an extent that they issued bad advice in the past and even though some of the facts are still out to jury, they seem to be truly being addressed at this time in history. The truth is what I seek without bias from greedy corporations who want you to buy their crap. Adam is a breath of fresh air
I like your deliberate scientific approach to disseminate information. That which is backed by research and data from well respected sources. This is a gem of a channel. Thank you
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this channel man...
You’re doing very well getting good information from reputable sources including interviews with scientists. For such a small channel these videos are great, and the video and audio quality has made a noticeable improvement recently too.
I appreciate you finally taking a few steps back
UNC Gillings School of Public Health represent! Go Dr. Raz!!!!
+1 for quality OC. Keep it up Adam!
enjoy your videos a lot, Adam keep it up!
Carbohydrates naturally come with fiber, which blunts the blood sugar spike. Remove them and you’ve got your spike. Most tests on those ‚simple‘ carbs are done with sugar dissolved in water (think soda). But adding fiber back in can show similar blunting of the blood sugar response. So topping pizza with veggies or having rice with a side salad very much helps blunt the effect. And for some reason cinnamon seems to work too.
Thanks for showing me real non-biased research on fats markiplier.
Lmao
Butter biscuits > Shortening Biscuits anyway. They may not look as pretty but the flavor is on another level.
I really admire that you make an effort to educate your viewers about the food they eat rather than just following the "easier" route to be another cooking TH-camr who just makes food while filming it artistically. Don't get me wrong, I love that content as well, but videos like this one have a public health good even though they are harder for you to monitize via sponsorships and that is definitely something to be lauded.
You're doing it the right way Adam -- Keep it up!
This channel is so amazing! The fact that Adam's recipes are so apt and perfect that when I follow them, i get the same results! ( Unlike other recipe books and youtube channels)
Moreover, he EDUCATES YOU TOO!
WHAT MORE CAN I ASK?

I really like watching your videos man. You and Glen & friends are my morning go tos.

South Park uses comedy to talk about a lot of real issues. They are on point with a lot of things
Can you do a video on salt and pepper like the different salts and different peppers
Those are two totally different things, though. Salt is a mineral, and there is no such thing as different salt, it's just what OTHER stuff is in among the salt that makes it a specific type of salt, or how it was extracted which effects the size of the crystals. Pepper, on the other hand, is from a plant, and there are different color peppercorns with slightly different tastes.
Kariegoz no I mean that the different grain size and different types eg. kosher, pink Himalayan, sea salt etc
And that they’re normally used together
Yes but many people say that some salts are better for you than others. Also peppercorns have piperine which has health benefits so it would be nice to know which variety has higher concentrations.
@@Kariegoz salt can be used to refer to hundreds of different ionic compounds some of which are toxic.
@@dg5450 Himalayan salt is just rock salt from Pakistan iirc.
I remember my friends taking the yolk out of the egg and throwing it away. Which I saw as really dumb, particularly when you consider humans have been eating egg yolks since forever.
Facts, literally all of the nutrients are in the yolk
@se fi you go you and he goes his ig, that's pretty much one of the channel mottos
@@galadriel9473 The micronutrients, yes.
@se fi Yeah there's nothing wrong with ditching yolks to make whatever you're adding eggs to more focused towards protein. (Which is probably the all around best macro for me personally)
Fat is fine and good, but just because it is doesn't mean we should eat it at every chance we get. I do the same thing as you for that reason, probably only use half of all eggs with yolks.
If you have high cholesterol and want mainly the protein it's a good idea
I’m witnessing your channel going from a cooking channel to a food science/research channel. Gotta say I’m impressed

CRISCO is short for crystalized cotton seed oil. This was made when the use for the cotton seed oil did not pan out. So Procter and gamble came up with this refined product and heavily marketed it as a healthier choice for lard.
Crisco is great for frying chicken and snickerdoodles sooo
Ironically it's becoming more clear that lard is healthier.
@LagiNaLangAko23 The hydrogenated/processed kind they use in shortening is.
Black people also use it in their hair
@LagiNaLangAko23 It's a highly-processed artificial fat source. There are no RCTs performed on humans that say either way but we do know other like artificial oils such as canola have negative effects on mice. You can make your conclusions from this. I personally stay away from all and every vegetable (seed) oil. I only consume fruit oils such as avocado, coconut and olive long animal sources of fat.
Please do more health topics. This was so informative
Never disappointed by this channel, binging right now
everybody gangsta till Adam brings out the university sources
Nice name lol. Grej gang
As a former vegan, specifically one who used to follow the high carb low fat diet, I can personally say that one of the best intuitive decisions I’ve made was turning away from that diet and incorporating more healthy fats into my life. Nuts, seeds, fish, and eggs. Never knew how important they were until I cut them out. Always thought fat was the culprit- I fully believed the whole “fat makes you fat” theory. Cutting out fat was detrimental to me for a lot of reasons, but I would say the main symptoms I experienced from eating high carb low fat would be that my hormones were all out of whack, my skin was pale and covered with acne, and my energy levels were nonexistent. If you are eating a low fat diet and not feeling well, I urge you to try to eat more intuitively and add more healthy fats back into your diet. I got to a point where I was getting sick for weeks and months at a time. Simply changing the way I eat has really helped me feel more like myself again 💕 I’m glad you’ve debunked this theory. I hope this video reaches those who need it most
well researched as always thank you!!
I just discovered your channel and it's fantastic. 385k subscribers only and your vids are such high quality...
Dude, I love your videos. Keep up the great work!
Ahh sugar, so deadly sweet!
What a fantastic way to phrase it.
Sugar is the Trojan Horse of the culinary world
Fantastic and massively informative video.
The sugar kabbal shifting blame for CHD on fats absolutely blew my mind. Thanks, M. Ragusea - agreat find!
Saturated fats do raise LDL levels, but high LDL levels aren't necessarily a pathology. In older people high LDL levels were a predictor of longer life.
That’s because cancers and diseases that kill older people literally take cholesterol out of their blood. So that correlation is very misleading.

Fat also takes a lot longer to digest, so it has the benefit of leaving people satiated, where as high carb foods process quick, and then people feel hungry and snack between meals.

Have you covered or mentioned oils extractions method difference - expeller pressed VS using chemical agents(hexanes etc.)
That is so interesting! I always took my vitamins on an empty stomach, think I’ll pair it with some peanut butter tomorrow, though
No mention of the (potentially) harmful effects of oxidation of polyunsaturated fats when used in high temperature applications like frying?
This also applies to olive oil. It's actually not a frying oil, since its unsaturated fats gets turned into transfats with the same effect as saturated fats at certain levels of heat. Guess Adam isn't as smart as everyone here declares him to be.
@Sheikh_Shaq This video was very basic and he didn't break down the science at all, he just pointed to poorly done epidemiology. I have no doubt the average person is significantly more intelligent than you are.
Put 2 and 2 together, why do countries who consume massive amounts of vegetable seed oils have the highest rates of heart disease?
@BattleEmpoleon He can cite all the epidemiology he wants, at the end of the day they're just surveys. Most people can't even remember what they had for breakfast two days ago. You don't get much randomized clinical trials in nutrition because most experiment ideas are deemed unethical.
Lots of sugar is bad for your liver and can cause insulin resistance so I agree that sugar may be a contributing factor to heart disease considering most people who develop heart disease also insulin resistance. You know what also destroys the mitochondria of the cell and causes insulin resistance and chronic inflammation? High PUFA vegetable seed oils cooked at high temperatures.
@@thevomit5851 is peanut oil okay?
@@james__anna_burns4885 Similar to olive oil, not ideal but much better than vegetable seed oils. You want to avoid oils high in omega-6 Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). I'm sure peanut oil is fine but butter and good quality tallow would be better.
I wish I could have had this for my biology class, instead of studying from a book. Learned a lot!
After experimenting with my diet for quite some time, I find that having a diet that is opposite to the food pyramid guideline makes me feel a lot healthier! Less carbs & sugar, more proteins and fats. Plus I don’t eat breakfast on most days!!
