Go to DrinkLMNT.com/WhatIveLearned to get a free sampler pack with any purchase! I noticed a couple comments already from people who tried a vegan diet for several years but had to quit. Feel free to comment your story here if you have one! Edit: Some people on the internet accused me of lying about B12. See this post for my response: josepheverettwil.substack.com/p/was-i-wrong-about-vegans-and-b12
You have put unnecessary time for crooked teeth in this video, the question is not of refined foods, its about veganism, you still need to chew vegan foods, many times more than you would chew meat . You also didn't link your sources, it is possible that the paper funding has conflict of interest with the research.
I think this is all very controversial. Missing sources is a huge mistake in my opinion. Anyone that wants to be educated by this has no option but to take your word for what you're saying. Please post your sources
There was once a study done where children were allowed to choose whatever they wanted from a rather broad diet. They found unusual combinations like liver and orange juice for breakfast, and one child began to drink cod liver oil as a beverage. When they evaluated the actual nutrient value of what the children were eating, they discovered that the children were seeking foods that provided the exact nutrients they needed, and appeared to find the right foods mostly by taste. Unfortunately, this probably wouldn't work now. The study was done in the 1930's, before the rise of synthetic flavorings allowed us to make anything taste like anything.
This was absolutely how I ate in college. I would buy a lot of whole foods (lots of different nuts, vegetables, fruits, grains, beans, and proteins like yogurt and eggs) and for every meal I would look around at my options and pick whatever called to me and eat them together. Almost nothing I ate even remotely resembled dishes that had names, and when something did I was surprised and would laugh about it. We're talking about eclectic mixtures of vegetables served with peanut + sunflower butter and yogurt and a side of blackberries. Apples boiled in a soup with rockfish, carrots, and sweet potatoes. I normally didn't add additional flavors or sauces -- just ate them as they were. They became surprisingly tasty and was in the best health of my life, I'd say. It's a matter of buying things that haven't yet been processed or changed with additives. Something I miss dearly were the peanut and almond grinding machines that were common in grocery stores back home -- processed peanut butter and fresh ground plain peanuts are literally different foods and their tastiness is night and day. Frozen vegetables are my favorite because they're just regular vegetables that have been preserved in the best way for nutrition. Rice, oats, nuts, and beans can be purchased for cheap without additives. Whole fruits and eggs also don't have additives. The most processed thing I'd eat was plain full-fat greek yogurt, but fermented foods are a type of processing that improves nutrition, so yogurt, kimchee, sauerkraut, and kefir have health benefits and shouldn't be loaded with sugar. Meats, especially organ meats, are healthy in moderation and can be easily bought without breading or added sugar (I was eating beef liver for a bit when I was really putting in extra miles every day -- just didn't question what I was craving at that point lol) I'm working on going back to this diet because I've gotten spoiled with a more "normal" lifestyle (now that I can afford it) and social eating is part of my life now, but my health isn't as great. (I have an autoimmune disease so it makes a difference how healthy I am -- my quality of life improves dramatically the better shape I'm in.)
@@Mapleboi404 I'm not American. From the UK, left at 39 and spent the last 18 years travelling Asia. And yeah, you have to coax kids to eat vegetables. You don't need to coax them to eat burgers or sausages.
Is it like when sometimes i might get a craving for olives or pineapple out of the blue, suddenly i want a can of sardines and then fried mushrooms. Curious
I'm really surprised that while talking about narrowing palettes and the problems with teeth, you didn't mention that eating processed foods eliminates the chewing required for traditional unprocessed foods. Chewing is really important for proper facial development and nasal breathing, which can alleviate sleep apnea.
There's a reason they're called "supplements" and not "replacements". It really is astounding that humans can eat so many varied foods compared to other organisms.
No need to supplement if you are already eating the right foods in the first place. That Fruits & Veggies quack won't get a dime from me. And I don't need to shoot up with Ozempic either.
As for the cat study investigating raw meat vs cooked meat, it was eventually found that the cooking method reduced the taurine content in the meat, which was the cause of the observed health effects on the deformed cats. Nowadays either the taurine is added back to the meat as with commercial cat food, or it is cooked in a way where taurine doesn't leach out (taurine isn't destroyed by heat, but it is water soluble). Grilling or baking meat may preserve the taurine content versus boiling.
Regarding the jaw development, you missed a very important aspect. People need to use their teeth to chew tough foods to develop their jaws properly. So one of the big issues with processed food us that it is so soft.
My grandparents used to make me chew on breadcrust and other tough stuff as a kid, because they said that's how my teeth will get strong. I always though it was cute but more or less a baseless superstition, but it turns out they were probably completely right.
There is also a connection between issues with the dental arch, crooked teeth and having not been breastfed. Breastfeeding uses many more muscles in the mouth, jaw and face than bottle feeding. Breastfeeding appears to help the mouth, jaw and face develop properly. In many studies bottle feeding was correlated with issues with the development dental arch, crooked teeth, etc. So in addition to highly processed food for older children and adults causing serious issues, highly processed food and "highly processed" feeding methods (using an easy to suck latex or silicone bottle nipple rather than a difficult, muscle developing breast to milk nutrients from) for infants may contribute to mouth and facial development. (Yes, I am well aware *some women can't breastfeed* I'm an IBCLC (lactation consultant) but just because some aren't doing or can't do something doesn't mean that something isn't still the the most healthy thing.)
Do you think it would be better to feed a baby with a silicon breast type device with a valve type nipple compared to a bottle ? Do such devices exist do you know ?
So true. I have a normal jaw. Never needed braces, all my teeth are straight and strong. Same for my sibling. We were breast fed to at least 2yrs. Food was always home cooked indian traditional food (not what you buy in restaurants- thats unhealthy junk)..ate, Fish, Meat , Eggs, vegetables and rice. No sweets and junk food.
You can do a video on just margarine alone as an example of the power of marketing. Because they really had us thinking a solid chemical oil dyed yellow was healthy
It's just so damn exhausting. No matter what diet you have there's always a thousand people pointing a finger at you telling you why you're going to die because of it. There's so much conflicting information that it's hopeless to ever try to piece together any sort of meaningful understanding of it all.
@@L.OB-1 If only things were so simple. There are two sides to the argument. If you are finished listening after hearing just one that means you're not thinking critically.
@@kingbranden1369I totally feel you. I'm a vegan for ethical reasons for 8 years now while it seems the health aspects are never to be settled. I continue listening to all sites over the years and always something new comes up. You see that in other topics of health as well, especially concerning diet. There is always conflicting information, new research always contradicting older research. I tend to think that after all many diets work and people shouldn't so easily think it's just one. Of course that opinion can be challenged, but anything else doesn't seem to be that certain.
It's because meat has become cheap and isn't a luxury anymore at least not compared to pre industrialisation. Before that most people ate the whole animal because either that's what they could afford or for cultural reasons
@@BackfeetBoi I agree with what you say about our relative affluence. My question / thoughts run more toward the high nutrient qualities of organ meat that we might be missing out on because we have recently decided that it is icky.
@sidecarmisanthrope5927 but not necessarily with the vitamins intact. Liver has Vit A if memory serves me well. High temperatures used in a lot if not most processed foods in the West, mean destruction of those vitamins.
I took double dose of pre-natal supplements during pregnancy (doctor's recommendation) but I still had too low levels of iron, thus anemia for almost a year. I had postpartum hemorrhage and had to take stronger iron supplements both for me and my baby for two months after birth. The issue was probably that I had no money to afford a whole diet. I got pregnant unexpectedly during a financial crisis. While I ate iron- rich foods when I could, it wasn't enough and my diet probably lacked other nutrients. I also didn't get enough vitamin D and I was so exhausted all the time I only got out and exercised when I had to do the prenatal check up and exams. Moral of the story, humans aren't supposed to live off supplementary pills.
Congratulations for carrying out the baby to terms instead of aborting him/her. Most women in your situation would have killed them, yet you carried out your duty as a mother and respected their life,d espite all the complications you mention. We need more women like you.
Dang, I feel you! Financial difficulties make everything harder. I am glad that you and the baby pulled through! I hope you all are doing better now. I don't know if you have it in your area, but my sister-in-law used WIC during her pregnancy for a while after. It is a government program in the United States. "The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) provides federal grants to states for supplemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children up to age 5 who are found to be at nutritional risk."
Could be heavy periods or you could be a carrier for a blood disease as well. Only iron supplements will fix that. No amount of food will. I say this as someone with heavy periods, sickle cell trait, and who's gone to a blood specialist doctor in the U.S. My best friend has heavy periods and no blood disease and still has to get iron transfusions.
One of my biggest eye openers in life was finally realizing first hand how i was supposed to feel. Happened when i cut out the junk and ate veggies fruits and meat only. I mean after 6 weeks i realized my whole being leveled up. Mental state, function, emotions, anxiety vanished, brain fired on all cylinders, i felt young and alive. I cant say enough about it. Dont eat junk. Society would be a better place if everyone did.
Very hard to do that. Most people today are addicted to sugar without even knowing it. I'm personally addicted to sugar and caffeine, it's hard to kick, but I'm definitely trying to reduce the weekend snacks.
I at some point noticed how I never felt great after eating meat. I stopped eating meat but continued eating fish which worked for me. People should experiment more with what they can digest well.
I just want to say that : nutrition science is a very approximate science . Their claims change constantly. It's because it is incredibly difficult to observe, analyse and understand the countless interactions in between dozens of organs and thousands of compounds: and their cross interactions etc I take everything they say with a grain of salt or two, but not three
If you really study the developmement of nutritioin "science", you'll finnd they just copy from one another since the 1930'ies. They also ignore real studies done by scientists of medicne, except when they fit their own dogmas.
As someone born with only 22 teeth and more than half being milk teeth which will eventually have to be replaced with implants - I implore you. Do everything you can to keep your teeth. Cut out sugar, not meat.
I wonder what effect mass farming of animals in small enclosures to fatten them up has had on the healthiness of meat, assuming that animals farmed this way have more fat than wild animals
no effect at all. and as always depending on the breed and geographical location of the cattle and exactly what they are being fed in the enclosure. as well as what they eat 'in the wild'. frankly all you have to do is do a necropsy (a post mortem examination by a medical professional on an animal isn't called an autopsy for some medical jargon reason) on any 'feeder cattle' as the industry in the USA calls em or 'feed lot cattle'. then compare those findings to the classical 'home home on the range' cattle that wander thousands of miles every year looking for natural forage in the wild. the only differences you will find? range cattle have denser and therefore TOUGHER muscles due to a lifelong environment wandering free vs feeder cattle have less tough (more tender) and less developed muscles due to being 'fat lazy cows'... which yes is the source of the insult for people who sit around doing nothing all day, you're being called a feed lot cow. the feeder cattle have a gentle and quiet lifespan which is significantly shorter than their range cattle cousins. it doesn't take as long to feed a cow in a pen and get it to 'market weight and age' vs a range cow takes upwards of twice as long to gain the same muscle mass and body weight. the range cattle must move great distances to find forage and water and possible shelter from inclement weather. depending on where in the world is Carmen Sandeigo (the cow) bears, wolves, mountain lions, coyotes, African lions, leopards, cheeta, tigers, and other predators may kill and eat the range cattle. not a lot of predators will approach a cattle farm, due to farmers shooting said predators, traps, poisons, and big tall fences sometimes electrified. also all that is depending on where the cow lives. more than one head of cattle is lost yearly to Africa's wildlife and accidents. also, the myth about 'tiny lots' at least in North America is in fact... a myth. in just about every single US State. feeder cows get regular 'outside time' even in the most freezing cold weather. a well exercised cow is a healthy cow, with better muscle development, demeanor, and tractability to be herded from pasture to pasture to barn/shed/enclosure/feeding machinery/bales of forage. smaller farms will have smaller lots of course. but even the local cattle farmers here in my area of Alabama USA right near three 'cities' with a total population a smidge over 55,000 humans... the cattle lots/grazing fields are sometimes miles long on a side. our lil corner of heaven is right smack North of the I-20 corridor and almost exactly halfway between the major metropolises of Atlanta, Georgia and Birmingham, Alabama. the Southernmost city i mentioned of the three, is almost exactly cut into fourths by a State Highway running North South and the US Interstate i previously mentioned running East West. so we're not big on raising 'beef' cattle. but we have quite a few dairy farms here. how did i learn all of this? i lived in Montana, USA for more than five years. so i had plenty of time to absorb lots of cattle facts.
It's certainly not healthy for the animals. Feedlot fattening invariably leads to antibiotic dependence simply from having so many animals in close social contact. And using a big diesel tractor to harvest hay and grain, then a big diesel truck to bring it to the feedlot, and then either machinery or a whole lot of water to clear away the manure, will always be problematic compared to letting the cows walk around the paddock harvesting their own feed. The best option is cattle farmed in a regenerative grazing regime, where the animals are actually helping to rebuild soil by locking carbon into humus.
Social media started around 2004. when in same time internet became better and along with computer prices affordable to medium and lower income peoples, mobile phones as well with slow wap internet.
I read up about using animal fat as moisturizer. An article actually said that although humans have used animal fat as moisturizers for thousands of years, it's safety hasn't been tested 😂 So I bought some.
@@trentgrigsby333 dude this isn't being skeptical this is literally how you should think immediately about most scientific data online. there's plenty of research and findings out there solely funded to benefit a corporation or group of corporation's profits. ever watched kurzgesagt?
17:23 In korea its also customary to feed pregnant women kelp soup. I dont remember where i heard this but there are certain tribes in africa who burn kelp and feed the burnt kelp to pregnant women Pretty cool how people from different corners of the world discovered feeding seaweed to pregnant women makes babies healthy.
Indeed, the native communities have valuable wisdom, and it's almost a mystery for us how they obtained it. Here in this part of the world the natives living in the mountain regions traded with the people living in the coast to obtain fish roe to give to their pregnant woman. When scientist analized the nutritional contents of fish roe they noticed that they were rich in vitamins A, D, B12, Choline, etc. Critical nutrients for proper development. It's hard to tell how they, without microscopes and laboratories, knew this fact better than us
My eldest brother was born in Holland in 1943, in an urban area. This meant that he experienced a degree of starvation during his first two years of life (German occupation, the so-called winter of hunger of 1944/45). He is markedly shorter than eight of his siblings (his sister, born in 1944 is even shorter) and he has the crookedest teeth of the whole bunch. Other than that he is perfectly healthy and compos mentis now at 80.
I found the snippet at the start about meat sales being on the decline quite amusing, since my company (I work in market research) conducted a study about this recently. We did indeed find our target demo decreased their meat consumption in the past couple of years, but by far the most common reason was COST, not health or environmental related reasons. It seems most people wouldn't be vegetarian or vegan if they had more financial flexibility
Most people wouldn't eat meat of the government didn't put millions into it every year to keep the price affordable. A cow is expensive and shouldn't be eaten every day, for some even three times a day. Back in the days you are meat 1-4 times a months tops. And we should go back to that
@@JwalinBhatt 🙌 agreed. I wouldn't eat my dog once a week or once a month.. or ever, so why should I eat a cow, or a pig, or birds. I have to admit i ate a mussel at the Asian all you can eat last week 😂 He that is without sin among us, let him first cast a stone..
I've been vegan for 7+ years and vegetarian for 20 and while I do take vitamin D supplements (because I live in the north and like to wear clothes) and I didn't have any issues other than my doctor said it was low, my B12 is fine. B12 is a tricky topic and the research is still coming in. B12 is a very complex vitamin and is destroyed in the the upper intestine but absorbed in the lower intestine. If taken as a supplement or eaten as part of ones diet, the amount of B12 that can be absorbed by one's lower intestine is limited by the amount of intrinsic factor their stomach is able to produce. Many bacteria have been found to produce B12 and vegans and vegetarians can get enough B12 from a health gut biome. Nutritional yeast is also in everything these days. Being vegan takes commitment, discipline, and an understand of nutrition or it won't work. Pottinger's cats shows another mechanism for malnutrition and shows that modern diets have had an effect on people's teeth among all sorts of other things. I think veganism is being blamed for the shortcomings of the people trying vegan diets and not the diets themselves.
As someone who tried to go vegan I agree with this opinion: "I think veganism is being blamed for the shortcomings of the people trying vegan diets and not the diets themselves." Eating healthy as a vegan takes time, cooking skills, money, understanding my nutritionals needs, room in the fridge to store perishable veggies and likely a few other things I don't know about. I didn't have enough of any of that and so I was only able to last a week on a vegan diet before my previously unknown nutritional deficiencies showed up. I do eat a lot less meat and a lot more veggies nowadays, but I just can't keep up a vegan diet. I wanted to go on it, because I can't make a vegetarian diet work. Too much reliance on replacing meat proteins with dairy proteins and I am allergic to dairy. So, I raise chickens for eggs and eat sparingly of meat from animals raised in a more natural environment.
That's because you're too braindead to remember the several famous vegans mentioned in the video who literally had their personal doctor test their blood and try everything in their power to make it work to no avail.
@@teresaellis7062why are you replacing meat protein with milk? Why not lentils and legumes and nuts and seeds?! Especially legumes. There’s 100’s of varieties. It’s just soaking properly and cooking properly the difficult part.
Interesting that in some videos, you really don't like non interventional studies. But then, in others, you're totally fine with data that was generated in non controlled environments.
@Joardam American Indeed. It seems the what he will use to support his inferences are a matter of convenience. There's no level to them. All of his inferences are treated in the same way. But when it comes to an opposite view, suddenly those tools are flawed and shouldn't be trusted.
Later on in the video where you're talking about the Plains Indian's height and pemmican, it's of interest to note some of the accounts of the franciscans that accompanied Spanish explorers 500 years ago. One Franciscan most famous for recording the people and events in the Southwest wrote about the Pima Indians. In one chronicle, he describes a seven-foot-tall Pima Indian warrior running the same speed as a bison, while taking it down with his bow and arrow. He describes the Pimas of that era in glorious terms. Today, the Pimas outside Tucson, Arizona are the fattest, most diabetic people in the entire world. Their diet consists of US surplus: canned and boxed foods + sodas and fruit juice.
@@DarkKnight-db1dy Yes, he was measured. BTY, at that time in world history, it was estimated that the Pima Indians were the tallest race in the world. Of course, not the whole world was known in that era!
@@higherresolution4490 Estimated by who? Pima weren't even the tallest Indians, let alone the tallest in the world. I have searched the internet and nowhere it mentions that they were the tallest. If you have any source to back your claims up, you can present it. I will be more than happy to add that info to my knowledge.
@@DarkKnight-db1dy it was the Plains Indians that were regarded as the tallest. Do a search for "Standing Tall: Plains Indians Enjoyed Height, Health Advantage"
I would be interested to know how fermentation (Generally done with yeast and/or lactic bacteria - if your product has a salt brine and is refrigerated, it's generally fermented) affects the vitamin uptake from vegan diets. And of course the other end - pickling (Generally done with an outside acid such as vinegar, longer shelf life, doesn't usually need to be refrigerated) and how that affects the vitamin uptake. Let me know if you do a video on this difference!
My hypothesis would be that it would only help with maybe 2 or 3 vitamins. It helps in the case of K2 but only in the form of either menaquinone 4 or 7, I can’t remember. But there are something like 13 different menaquinones that the body needs and, as far as we know, only other animals can make them.
it doesnt amtter how much you ferment it you wont get anything from it apart from the bacteria why do you thjink cows eat so much grass all day. literally not one animal is vegan. animals cannot utilise minerals and vitamins from plants
Im a 37 year old Vegan. Never needed meat and I serve in the Army. Dont eat processed food. Do for the sake of innocent beings and health will come in body and mind.

It should be noted that bone strength and milk have a long complicated history that to say the least, milk doesn't directly correlate with increased bone strength and growth
@@cozypadd Nah, there is a clear difference between health effects of just full fat and skimmed milk, and homogenized and non, and pasteurized and non (though there are some health concerns with the former too)
@@defeqel6537 there are health concerns with all of them. Plus any dairy product. If you just look at a world map showing amount of dairy consumption and compare that to a world map showing osteoporosis rates, you'll see that they are basically identical. Worldwide: the more dairy people in a country consume, the higher their rate to suffer from bone loss. Granted, that's not a study that shows causation. But the correlation is strong.
Regarding the milk for babies...my sister was allergic to cow's milk and couldnt keep it down as a baby, so the doctors had her drink goat's milk. It worked.
@@avivastudios2311 Read what I wrote. I said she was allergic to cows milk. **edit: She would projectile vomit every time she had some, so going to goats milk, had less fat, or whatever it was... maybe lactase? that she was sensitive to.
it's shame based self-flagelation. it's neo catholicism in terms of denying ourselves of our nature. it's the cycle of life that we are to eat or be eaten
there is no ethical difference to animals between vegans and vegetarians the realest criminal is factory farmed animals and animal products why don't they become co-op farmers so mass produced soy and corn they eat as a substitute doesn't churn tons of rabbits in the fields, etc?
Yes it absolutely is the primary motivation for most, the health benefits that they want to tout are how they try to use logic to justify a decision that was made for emotional reasons. I think 2 things can be true at once, it would be morally better if we didn’t have to kill other animals to sustain ourselves, and we are much healthier and thrive better by eating animals.
If you have bloating issues it's not because of AS that's for sure. Bloating comes from consuming too much fiber rich foods, beans make you fart because they are very rich in fiber, vegans fart all the time not because of AS but because they have a much higher intake of fiber than omnivores or carnivores. I rarely if ever fart and never have experienced bloating, that's because I don't consume excess ammounts of fiber and eat a low carb(less than 100g daily) and high in animal products diet. -Back to AS: they can give you cancer according to rat studies but take them with a grain of salt, they fed those poor rodents so much AS daily as a normal human would consume in a life time, if body weight/size is aligned.
During the 'health craze' of the 1970s, I was shopping for groceries with my dad and we came across a spread that touted it had 30% less of something than margarine. I pointed this out, we looked at each other, and decided that we weren't going to eat a substitute for a substitute. It was butter or nothing after that.
Whenever mother-in-law went on holiday, husband and I would move into her flat, to look after her cat. Year 1, the cat couldn't get enough of the raw meat we fed it. MIL came home and chewed our heads off. "They mustn't have raw meat. It makes them too frisky." So that was us told. Pet cats must be kept in a permanent nutrient-deprived stupor.
Well meat isn’t the natural food for cats. Mice are. Cats are highly specialised predators. They need the whole mouse, intestines and all, not muscle meat from some cow 😔
@@LittleKikuyu Cats' natural prey is whatever their wild ancestors ate and currently eat. "Mice" is simplistic nonsense based on pop culture references. The domesticated cat's closest wild cousin is the African wildcat. Its diet includes mice and rats but is not exclusively rodent-based. They also eat birds, lizards, other small reptiles, and insects. Except for when you look at the western African wildcat, which is happy to hunt down hares and gerbils. The southern variety will take down antelope fawns as well as domesticated lambs.
Most non vegans are relying on supplemented vitamins, mostly via "nutrient enriched" foods like rice, bread, cereals, iodized salt, etc. They enrich staple foods to boost nutrients that are low in the entire population, but because they're optimizing for non vegans, vegans can benefit from supplementation.
I've been saying for YEARS that the research on red meat has been horrendous. I was 16 when this was the case and people still advocate against it. The worst part is when a family member had blood loss due to severe IBD, he was urged to eat more red meat. Silly to see contradictions until they're no longer applicable.
Well, my wife and I are recent parents and before my wife was pregnant she used to eat a very restricted diet given digestion problems of her. Once she got pregnant most of her digestion problems went away and she started to eat a lot like me, with lots of red meat, home made bread (I bake it myself), dairy products, green leafs and vegetables, almost no suggar drinks and instead plain water or fruits blended into water. And our son was born with perfect weight and is being breast feeded along with some formula, but mostly breast milk, and recently incorporating solids, and he is very large for his age, most people saying he is the size of a two years old when he is only 7 months old. Funny thing is that according to all weight and size charts he is pretty much where he should be for his age, so that makes me thing that a lot of kids are undernourished or even malnourished without people noticing it.
The WHO's growth charts are much higher than what my pediatrician uses. My son is at 50% according to WHO but 80% according to our doctor's charts. He is a chunky boy, eats all the time and has 6-8 poops a day at 12 weeks.
I wish there was time to do a video researching the validity of the studies quoted and if there were motives behind them... seems like there are researchers to prove every argument turning everything into a black and white issue... leading to even more confusion..
There's no need for confusion. There's history. All you have to do is do some research for once in your life. PROPER, old-school research, the sort that most people nowdays either don't know how to do properly or are too lazy to do so, because it takes weeks/months to do. It's not even difficult to do. It's just time consuming.
Brave video, i imagine you wont be reading the comments much for your own peace of mind. Still, i think it's worth saying that i noticed one glaring inaccuracy in the content: ancient wild fruit would NOT have been "only as sweet as a modern carrot." In many cases, yes, humans have selectively bred more sweetness, but as someone who forages as a hobby, i can IMMEDIATELY think of at LEAST 3 wild fruit in my area that are non-cultivated, have no gene flow with cultivated fruits, and are still exceptionally sweet. And that's not even counting the variety in the warmer parts of the world! Fruit have been coevolving with plenty of sweet-loving species for millions of years, and the plants know how to make a fruit that will absolutely delight a hungry primate of any species
I grew up in the African savanna environment humans evolved in. Its mostly grass with sparse drought resistant trees and bushes. Most are thorny. Some have fruit, most taste horrible...though birds and stuff seem to love them. Fruits are generally not sweet, but instead have a dry taste and sour, and I think its an adaptation to avoid fermentation. Because the rare few fruit that are sweet, spoil very fast (probably due to the heat) and then ferments (imagine the smell of rotten grapes). the sweetest fruit I encountered, was a type of berry (or a tiny apricot like fruit). Its not very sweet and makes your mouth feel dry (like almost everything else), it has a great flavor though. I think that dry-mouth effect is an adaptation to the climate. The best fruit I encountered was a kind of hard green apricot (slightly larger than an apricot and white inside), but its very sour (and dries the mouth). It'd be impossible to survive off these alone, because its very sparse, other animals compete (especially birds and animals that live in trees), they're very seasonal, and they all cause stomach aches when you eat too much too often (especially if it has the dry mouth taste). local traditional dishes dont really have fruit in them. Its very very heavy on meat with starches. Cultures revolve around meat. If one goes toward the equator, fruit becomes better and more common. E.g. marula fruit is very sweet when ripe (which does not ast long because of the heat I guess...it over-ripens fast and ferments). Bushmen focus on meat, bulbs and other starches, and an eternal search for rehydration (the ones I encountered hunt small animals and even porcupines (they lived in a wetter region). The sweetest thing out there is honey
Marula in the savanna, Dates near the deserts and coconuts along the coastline have been known for their sweetness for thousands of years. Similarly in India there are hundreds of really sweet wild fruits for which there were no English names even after 200 years of colonisation. Some did become very popular in the western world, for example the Mango. Finally there are many cultures which promote vegetarianism, I've been a vegetarian all my life, my grandparents lived for over 100 years without any health issues. Today's chronic health issues are a direct result of easy, refined calories (refined starch and table sugar) and to a much larger extent the result of a sedentary lifestyle. Vegan "doesn't work" is as relevant and informative as an uninformed primary school student's essay.
@@vikassm Vegan and vegetarian diets are vastly different. Furthermore, that a vegetarian indian diet works does not mean that a Scandinavian vegan diet is equally nutritious... You call others as uninformed as primary school students, yet you yourself can't even grasp the difference in available nutrition in different climates... In addition 2 out of the 3 fruits you mentioned were already cultivated and changed by humans thousands of years ago... Only the coconut out of those is believed to have been similar before. And even there you will most likely have more sour tasting ones like most of the wild sorts today. The only thing you are is not smart or knowledgeable but ignorant.
It was mentioned in he comments but i also have read that doing sports during childhood and teenagehood and chewing harder foods as our faces grow and specially as food is introduced after 6months of age really has an effect on the size and shape of your jaw. My brother is the only sporty on in our family and his jaw is massive and has natural straight teeth. He even had space for all his wisdom teeth, which is something rare amongst all the people i know in their 30s and 20s now.
Same here, I ate a lot of tough to chew food, like homemade breads with thick crusts (not that soft squishy garbage at the grocery store), lots of apples or fruits you really had to bite into, lots of meats with varying degrees of quality (some you just had to keep chewing, yeah not the best stuff to eat but I do think it helped to shape my teeth and jaw, we didn't always have money to get better quality meats), and more. All of my teeth came in perfectly straight, and I've had no problems with my wisdom teeth crowding or other issues. I never needed braces, meanwhile everyone in my school had to get them. Chewing tough foods or foods with roughage definitely helps develop the way your teeth will be set and how strong your jaw/jaw line is. My dentist is always so surprised at how healthy my teeth are. I've only ever had one tiny cavity that was so small they didn't even need to give me novacaine. They drilled for 5 seconds max (yes it still hurt) but then it was done!

At 10:07, you incorrectly cite DOI: 10.1093/ajcn/78.1.131. The 92% holoTC figure explicitly refers to individuals that did *not* take B supplements. 88% of vegan "vitamin users" had low holoTC - very similar number, but if you look at the actual levels, they were substantially better on average (14 pmol/L vs 4 pmol/L) for vitamin-users. B12 levels for vitamin-using vegans were actually slightly better than LV-LOV individuals in this study. Clearly, B12 supplements do *something*. In the study, "vitamin users" took B vitamin supplements, but not with any particular protocol. That said, the study does show a stark contrast between omnivores and vegetarians - only 1% of omnivores had low B12, and 11% had low holoTC levels,
Also, where does he misquote the article? He simply stated what the article said. He didn’t say this was referring to “vegans who take vitamins”. If he said that, then that would be misquoting.
@@EmanPwns The context of the citation was a discussion of vegetarians and vegans who take B12 supplements, but the figures cited were for those who do not take B12 supplements. Why would you quote the non-supplement-taking figures when discussing the effectiveness of B12 supplements? I don't doubt that it was just an honest mistake, but it's either an incorrect citation or a misleading statement about supplement effectiveness. I chose to interpret it as an simple incorrect citation.
Well it worked for me. I am 60 and I have more energy and feel healthier than when I was in my twenties. It is true though that most people who go vegan do not do their research properly. My big mistake in the first year was not getting enough protein.
Actually most meat eaters aren't even getting enough protein as well. That isn't just a Vegan thing, it is pretty common in most people. The vitamin B12 and Choline deficiencies are also common in all people too. Yes, Vegans have it worse, but if people at the right amounts of certain types of foods daily they wouldn't have protein, B12, or Choline deficiencies. It's just harder to do on a Vegan diet, but entirely possible.
My mother's been a nurse for many years, saw so many of guys like francis and amile here who think it works for them, then they get tons of medical issues and/or die sooner than they should be. You guys are dime a dozen. You don't even realize you're deficient and your system is struggling and one day it's going to hit you. Either the doctor teaches something you didn't know about your body, a hidden and displeasing surprise you'll have a hard time accepting. It's sad really because then other people think that if it works for other people, it will work for them too... but it really works for nobody. You might feel fine now, but it's only a matter of time or you're lying to yourself and normalizing limitations caused by your diet.

When most people think “traditional diets” they think diets that go back to 1700 CE. Traditional diets are diets that go back over 40,000 years ago pre-agriculture.
Yeah usually people don't know that Italian food did not have tomato sauce or tomatoes until the New World was discovered, explored and had their tomatoes commercialized globally. If you want real traditional Italian food you have to go much back. Tomatoes itself is an American food first eaten by Mexicans and Native Americans. So tomato is really Mexican/Native American food and has less roots with Italian cuisine.
Most scientists who study the ancient human diet say that the evidence for what humans ate pre-agriculture is extremely poor and open to interpretation. The only solid conclusion was that ancient humans were omnivores that ate whatever they could find that was edible and the diet was likely to vary with location and season at higher latitudes. Insects/bugs were likely to be a significant component of most ancient human’s diets.
@@alexr6114nearly all ancient humans hunted and primarily ate animals. They documented this clearly with cave paintings of them hunting not gathering Tubers.

Ok, just so you know, something being oxidised doesn't mean that you now need an anti-oxidant. Oxidation is one-half of what we chemists call a Redox reaction - that's a reduction-oxidation reaction. As 'x' is oxidised, 'y' is reduced. An anti-oxidant would prevent the redox reaction from taking place at all and NOT- as you suggested- be used as a sort of 'morning after pill' for random oxidation happening without a corresponding reduction. I hope that makes sense. If not, please read up on "Redox Reactions," to give you an ACCURATE understanding of oxidation, as opposed to the use of "Oxidation" as a buzzword.
"of what we chemists call a Redox reaction" so if someone is biologist how he calls it by different name? if someone is mechanic he calls it with another name? its only you chemists who call it that?

@@hexicdragon3094 My lectures would have probably failed me for sourcing like this. Quite a few of them are on rats when he's talking about humans and don't investigate or concluded his talking points. It gives the impression the studies weren't read, because I only read the abstracts and conclusions and you can see they don't match.

I had awful and supposedly incurable irritable bowel syndrome for years as a vegan. It vanished instantly after adding meat back to my diet. I have my life back.
My missus went vegan for about 4-5 years and she became B12 deficient, iron deficient, and her hair became thin and in poor condition. At the same time, I became vegetarian because I could live without meat, but milk & cheese were something else and I couldn't give them up. I had no problems or deficiencies. We both started eating meat again a few years ago and her hair recovered but it took a couple of years of blood tests to not have to take B12, iron, and folic acid anymore and get her levels back to normal.
Yes, she did, she was taking B12 pills at the time because our GP advised her to after she told him that she was on a vegan diet. She had to keep having blood tests every few months for roughly 4 or 5 years.....something she doesn't need anymore after stopping the vegan diet.
@@JammyGit Same thing happened to my mum after going vegan, who followed in my footsteps. She went from vegetarian to vegan, and said her hair started falling out etc within a week. I don't think that's enough time for nutrient deficiencies to manifest, especially not those symptoms. Regardless, I asked her what she was substituting for the foods she was no longer eating and she had nothing to say. I added some fortified soy milk to her diet, told her to take an iron/b12 supplement and she started feeling better. My guess is that it was somewhat of a placebo effect, but she really wasn't monitoring what she was eating properly at all. Just what she wasn't eating.
@@ASOT666 Extremely weird for a week of veganism to do that to anyone. That result would be quite surprising even if she were to eat nothing for a week!
When determining the significance of a study, there are several factors to consider, including the study design, sample size, statistical methods used, and the credibility of the researchers conducting the study. A study that is well-designed, has a large sample size, uses appropriate statistical methods, and is conducted by reputable researchers is more likely to produce reliable and valid results.
Isn't replication the most important thing? Like, reputation can be a social facade, fancy math can be correct but misapplied, the large sample size can have undetected bias etc etc.
@@rct999 replication isn't important, but replicability is. As for sample size, you have two choices, either large sample size or small sample size, the smaller the sample size the more noise you have and the less reliable the data. The higher the sample size the smaller the chance that anomalies determine the outcome. With a larger sample size, you wouldn't have gotten the outcome you e.g. see with his claims about fiber and constipation, since you don't have enough people suffering from a condition that isn't fixable with fiber.
@@Baka7655 it's really easy to form the outcome of a study to your will. E.g. one study found that children can concentrate much better when they ate candy in school for lunch. Well i looked at the study and found that they compared it to children who didn't eat anything at all. Or with small sample sizes you can just repeat your experiment until you have the right data points and then publish only the last findings. That's why I'm trying to tell everyone what to look for when they look at the studies used in this video. Thanks for you comment. Very true, always look at conflict of interests in the people conducting AND funding the study. Sadly health from eating cheap vegetables and exercising won't fill any corporations pockets, so there's no one to put a lot of money into proper studies, so there are much more low quality studies that say meat and dairy is safe, than studies actually showing what's going on
I’m much healthier since I’ve become a pescatarian, but I don’t think it’s for lack of meats like Turkey and Chicken, it’s just that pescatarianism lead me to be more mindful about what I eat in general. This happens with most diets, so I think it’s less about what diet you have and more just having a diet
Weston did indeed identify the need for Vitamin K2, but he didn't name it K2, he called it x-factor, as he had no idea what kind of thing it was, just that it occurred in animal products, and was not Vitamin D or Vitamin A.
Funnily enough, my teeth are a bit crooked because of braces. My mom decided to start orthodontic care when I was 9. My palate was set too narrow and now I have crowding. Don't get braces until you're fully grown kids!

22:46 - the allergies are one thing but when it comes to the mental health issues, there has to be a degree to which diagnosis and environment are probably playing a role, not just nutrition
yeah, especially with ADHD. I'm not convinced there are more ppl with ADHD now, I think we just know more about it, which is why ppl get a proper diagnosis with ADHD or dyslexia, where in the past, they used to just be labeled as dumb.
I'm also very skeptical about the soy studies. There are many cultures where eating soy beans has been normal for ages and there haven't been problems about infant deformity. Phytoestrogens are worth studying but their effects seem way overhyped to me.
Not necessarily true. There are people who talk about reversing all symptoms of depression, anxiety, bipolar, ADHD, and even schizophrenia when eating a low carb/keto/carnivore diet. There are practicing psychiatrists who are now using a ketogenic diet to treat their patients. I think a lot of the symptoms that make up mental and physical illness are all symptoms of insulin resistance, and then they’re just clustered and called different things, but if you address the insulin resistance, then the symptoms themselves improve and or reverse, so no more disease. That’s just one reason Alzheimers, for example, is called diabetes type 3, because it is insulin resistance of the brain.
@@LauraB.335 it's definitely possible, but my point remains that there are very likely a number of factors contributing to the the prevalence mental health issues are very much due to factors other than nutrition alone

the study about the soy isoflavones is misrepresented here as is often the case. a man would have to eat two kilograms of raw soy a day to get any effect. i wonder how many other sources are misrepresented in this 40 minutes of cope. if you're worried about growing tits, maybe consider all the bovine growth hormone in your food
Were did you get the 2 kilos a day. I didn't see the genistein amount in the paper.

One of the most infuriating things about the cat diet research discoveries in this video is that current regulations make it extremely difficult for animal food companies to produce a raw meat diet for pets that they can legally market. I have a cat that started having health issues around age 12, we switched him to a raw diet and he became healthy again. He just turned 21 years old. He has some arthritis and hearing loss but is otherwise healthy. He doesn't even need dental cleanings. The raw meat diet brand we used was put out of business because the government won't allow them to sell raw meat to predator animals THAT THRIVE ON RAW MEAT! It also has a bit to do with pet food companies that make baked kibble and cooked canned food, lobbying against raw brands. Brands like Science Diet pay off veterinarians with scholarships to peddle their brand. It's even more corrupt than the people food industry.
@jonahwhale9047 "just fine" is a moving target determined by those who benefit from the approved standard. If this video hasn't convinced you of that then I doubt I will. In regards to making cats illegal I would suggest a more reasonable and healthier goal of requiring domestic cats to be contained indoors or in enclosures that prevent them from hunting native animals, as should be the requirement of all domestic species. I suspect the introduction of the European starling and house sparrow have done far greater harm than cats though.

Since I've been recently experiencing quite severe symptoms of GERD, I immediately felt compelled to google what was said at 13:54 that "dietary fiber is known to weaken the stomach acid" and all the articles and studies I looked over assert the exact opposite ("fiber, among other things, absorbs liquid in the digestive system, which prevents the displacement of stomach acid"). Was that just downright botched in the video or am I misunderstanding it?
@@joardamamerican9701 Poor grammar but valid point. His "removing fibre from your diet removes all symptoms of fibre in your diet." was a point where I started questioning his way of seeing the data. Especially since he doesn't outright say that he recommends zero dietary fibre.
If you are trying to be accurate, removing or adding fiber to/from your diet may worsen or alleviate symptoms. Why?, because it’s situational, just like fiber can both alleviate constipation or make it worse and yes that is true no matter what type of fiber you ingest.
@@joardamamerican9701 Of course he's going to present the data that agrees with his viewpoints. It is the duty of the people receiving his information to research its validity and then agree or disagree. I, for one, am very convinced that the information he presents is valid because I've made my own research. It's just as idiotic to totally reject any new viewpoint just because it contradicts traditional "knowledge" as it is to embrace it completely without any judgment. And yes, there are a ton of contradictory data out there, but the ultimate test is to try on yourself and see. When you are trying to improve conditions that are just no responding to "established medicine practices", well, you can't be very worse off experimenting a little with your diet. I know ALL my gastric issues disappeared after eliminating fiber (almost) completely from my diet; It is unbelievable the difference. As someone in the video said, one thinks being painfully bloated and constipated is the way life goes, but believe me, it is not.
Might be how you searched for it. If you type "fiber links to bloating" you will find results talking about how much fibre to have before bloating sets in, or results stating what fibre to avoid that causes bloating. Bloating is a symptom of weakened stomach acid. So the video statement is not invalid.
Vegan is extreme, but mainly carnivore societies (Inuits, Mongols) are the shortest-living. The longest-living societies are eating meat… but in small amounts according to Western standards.
Carnivore societies also live in the harshest environments on earth, maybe that has something to do with it…. Unless you think having a baby in -50 F has no effect on infant mortality. If anything it’s a miracle they’re able to even live there, and probably owe their incredible success to eating meat.
@@janklosowski Living in Nepal is far easier than Mongolia or the Arctic circle. The average rainfall in Nepal is 63 inches per year, in Mongolia it is only 16. Additionally the temperature of Mongolia is much, much colder than Nepal. You’re comparing a humid subtropical climate to a harsh arctic climate and a cold arid desert climate. Again, like comparing apples to oranges. And in spite of the harsh climate, the people of Mongolia live about as long as the people of Nepal, with both averaging around 71 years life expectancy.

There also was a study on kids in Africa, all the same gene pool and a marginal base diet. Supplementation was done with carbs, fats, and proteins (same calorie value). Kids supplemented with carbs and fat had a 3 point increase in IQ. Kids supplemented with protein had 10 point increase in IQ.
Not sure about that. For animals, fats are the most valuable, sought out, and scarce nutrient n nature, compared to proteins, carbs, and sugars because it is the preffered fuel source for our brains, which can't function properly without it. When people fast (run out of food) they use all the sugar in the blood from their last meal, then switch to burning our stored fat through ketosis and you can definitely feel the difference. When foods are scarce and we need more, rather than get weak, slow, and tired, well become more awake, alert, and aware after switching to burning ketones, because evolution made us store enegy for later, when we needed to hunt, gather, and obtain more energy. This only adds to the.mystery of how our brains developed to its current size and complexity because brains require so many fats just to function properly, not to mention growing and evolving into what we see today..

@@Reziac I've always been interested in the role of animal protein --- including red meat -- in measuring IQ.

Otherwise, how did a tiny island-- England-- come to rule the known world for 4 centuries? Germany also got high marks. But now...China and Japan basically beat the pants off everyone else for academic performance, and India, in spite of crushing poverty, produces sterling achievement and accomplishment in technical fields, medicine, academia, etc. Diets in Asia vary wildly and include stuff that WASP Americans would never eat. So IQ MUST be more than food choices.
@@Reziac seems like a strange study to perform, was there any way to justify the findings as a contributing factor to their IQ, did they all live the exact same experiences every day? Does a 3 point increase from an IQ of 110 equate to a 10 point increase from from an IQ of 100?

Take vitamin D supplements. Virtually everybody who doesn't live near the equator or work as a gardener would benefit from additional vitamin D during winter. Vitamin D isn't always contained in multivitamins, so see if yours has it.
Most people in Northern latitudes(anything more that 45° north or south of the equator) suffer from vitamin D deficiency, even if you have white / Caucasian skin. Cynically, I only learned this from Dr. Campbell during the onset of the pandemic, as vit-d shortages caused a more severe covid infection. Supplement with at least 2000 IU daily in winter months, if you're out enough during summer 1000 IU ought to be enough.

@@la912 yeah, I forgot about it, sorry. But actually it is more about the physiology and it has an open ending, that leads to the question of what should we eat in order to have a healthy gut. It would be interesting to see it from the perspective of fiber-poor diet
When viewed from an evolutionary perspective, fiber is integral in our digestion. We mainly subsisted off plants with meat being intermittent. Fossilized feces show we were getting upwards of 100 grams per day of fiber. The most competitive organisms are in symbiosis with their environment. As humans we demonstrate this by our main detoxification pathway, our digestive system working with fiber to escort bile/waste materials out of the body. Bile and wastes need fiber to bind with in order to exit the body. Another way we demonstrate this is our reliance on our gut microbes to produce SCFA’s. The main food source for our beneficial, short chain fatty acid producing microbes is fiber. Our bodies evolved to outsource SCFA production to our microbes because through our high fiber ancestral diet, we had an abundance of microbes populating our guts. Again demonstrating efficiency through symbiosis.

The benefits of theobromine are underrated and I don't think any other food is this concentrated with antioxidants.

You took that Cosmicskeptic video out of context. In that same video, he says that you can get everything from an adequately planned diet (like, idk, any diet). He even said that his video is not an argument against a vegan diet but you ignore that as well.
Well, given my genetics and my diet as a child I probably would never have needed braces, had I not smashed all of my frontal baby teeth out of my mouth in a brutal bike crash at the age of 5. Luckily I was not part of the control group 😄
I got all my baby teeth literally kicked out of my mouth when I was 5 bc my sister pushed me into a 16 year old boys roundhouse kick 🙃 but I have always had perfect teeth , never needed braces . My entire family’s teeth were / are JaCkeD .. most chose braces. No clue how I got so lucky with my teeth . My sister and I also suffered neglect and malnutrition for a number of years as small children. I’m very short my sister is very tall . You never know how kids will turn out .
Amazing, I never met anyone else who had my misfortune, and here I suddenly encounter multiple! I lost mine 3 weeks before my 5th birthday in gym class. A girl didn't feel like following the line that we were all taking, and ran straight up to me as I went for a trampoline dive roll exercise from the side. As I was focused on the jump, I didn't see her approach. Once in the air, I couldn't avoid her and smashed my face into her skull. 4 baby teeth ripped out the bone without breaking, leaving 4 bites out of the bone that took 3 years to fill up and form new teeth... (and at 14, I hit a car with my bike and broke the rear light reflectors to bits with my face. Once again I had lost my front teeth, not the baby ones this time... Screwed for life with expensive dentist visits... Even required a bone transplant at one point.)
New Study released 08/20/2024. Regularly eating red (beef and pork) and processed meats in particular is associated with a higher risk of TYPE 2 DIABETES, according to an analysis of data from 31 study cohorts published Tuesday in the journal The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. Researchers analyzed data from nearly 2 million people across 20 countries.

These non-vegans are laughable. They claim that our diets are somehow inferior to their diet because we subtract the murdered flesh of what, 5 or 6 species of animal. Meanwhile in reality, there are 10,000+ edible species of plants that I'm yet to fully explore in my 11 years of veganism. I eat such a diverse array of foods and I've never been healthier than I am right now. They'll drone on about animal proteins... especially if they're gym-rats. As if humans require proteins to produce muscles. lol ... but all they're effectively showing us is that they know exactly nothing about how the human body produces proteins. The human body produces proteins with the help of 5 amino acids that are commonly found in plants. But you can't fill a cup that is already overflowing with its own bullsht.
@volvo245 For you. Food is a package deal. If you just focus on some components and the bioavailability of those, you can make big mistakes. Look at the whole picture. What else do you get with those readily available nutrients? How does your body respond to that?

Creatine, carnosine, anserine and taurine are mentioned at Minute 29:25. One of the major components of aging is non-enzymatic glycosylation, or glycation. Carnosine can prevent this issue, & possibly remediate it in cataracts by using a liquid version of acetyl-l-carnosine. The Russians developed this technique. Anserine is the bird version of carnosine. The reason why a pigeon lives 35 years, and yet a comprable rodent of the same weight will only live 4-6 years is because of anserine. It's anti-glycation properties are six to seven times more powerful than carnosine.

There was once a study done where children were allowed to choose whatever they wanted from a rather broad diet. They found unusual combinations like liver and orange juice for breakfast, and one child began to drink cod liver oil as a beverage. When they evaluated the actual nutrient value of what the children were eating, they discovered that the children were seeking foods that provided the exact nutrients they needed, and appeared to find the right foods mostly by taste.
Unfortunately, this probably wouldn't work now. The study was done in the 1930's, before the rise of synthetic flavorings allowed us to make anything taste like anything.
This was absolutely how I ate in college. I would buy a lot of whole foods (lots of different nuts, vegetables, fruits, grains, beans, and proteins like yogurt and eggs) and for every meal I would look around at my options and pick whatever called to me and eat them together. Almost nothing I ate even remotely resembled dishes that had names, and when something did I was surprised and would laugh about it. We're talking about eclectic mixtures of vegetables served with peanut + sunflower butter and yogurt and a side of blackberries. Apples boiled in a soup with rockfish, carrots, and sweet potatoes. I normally didn't add additional flavors or sauces -- just ate them as they were. They became surprisingly tasty and was in the best health of my life, I'd say.
It's a matter of buying things that haven't yet been processed or changed with additives. Something I miss dearly were the peanut and almond grinding machines that were common in grocery stores back home -- processed peanut butter and fresh ground plain peanuts are literally different foods and their tastiness is night and day. Frozen vegetables are my favorite because they're just regular vegetables that have been preserved in the best way for nutrition. Rice, oats, nuts, and beans can be purchased for cheap without additives. Whole fruits and eggs also don't have additives. The most processed thing I'd eat was plain full-fat greek yogurt, but fermented foods are a type of processing that improves nutrition, so yogurt, kimchee, sauerkraut, and kefir have health benefits and shouldn't be loaded with sugar. Meats, especially organ meats, are healthy in moderation and can be easily bought without breading or added sugar (I was eating beef liver for a bit when I was really putting in extra miles every day -- just didn't question what I was craving at that point lol)
I'm working on going back to this diet because I've gotten spoiled with a more "normal" lifestyle (now that I can afford it) and social eating is part of my life now, but my health isn't as great. (I have an autoimmune disease so it makes a difference how healthy I am -- my quality of life improves dramatically the better shape I'm in.)

As for the cat study investigating raw meat vs cooked meat, it was eventually found that the cooking method reduced the taurine content in the meat, which was the cause of the observed health effects on the deformed cats. Nowadays either the taurine is added back to the meat as with commercial cat food, or it is cooked in a way where taurine doesn't leach out (taurine isn't destroyed by heat, but it is water soluble). Grilling or baking meat may preserve the taurine content versus boiling.
Thanx, needed further clarification on that point 💪🏻

Does that mean that consuming the water that the meat is boiled in would still allow for taurine consumption?

There is also a connection between issues with the dental arch, crooked teeth and having not been breastfed. Breastfeeding uses many more muscles in the mouth, jaw and face than bottle feeding. Breastfeeding appears to help the mouth, jaw and face develop properly. In many studies bottle feeding was correlated with issues with the development dental arch, crooked teeth, etc.
So in addition to highly processed food for older children and adults causing serious issues, highly processed food and "highly processed" feeding methods (using an easy to suck latex or silicone bottle nipple rather than a difficult, muscle developing breast to milk nutrients from) for infants may contribute to mouth and facial development.
(Yes, I am well aware *some women can't breastfeed* I'm an IBCLC (lactation consultant) but just because some aren't doing or can't do something doesn't mean that something isn't still the the most healthy thing.)
Yes, I heard that, too.

Something on my mind watching this is organ meat. We eat almost none of it compared to previous generations, and it is extremely nutrient dense.

@sidecarmisanthrope5927 but not necessarily with the vitamins intact. Liver has Vit A if memory serves me well. High temperatures used in a lot if not most processed foods in the West, mean destruction of those vitamins.
I took double dose of pre-natal supplements during pregnancy (doctor's recommendation) but I still had too low levels of iron, thus anemia for almost a year. I had postpartum hemorrhage and had to take stronger iron supplements both for me and my baby for two months after birth.
The issue was probably that I had no money to afford a whole diet. I got pregnant unexpectedly during a financial crisis. While I ate iron- rich foods when I could, it wasn't enough and my diet probably lacked other nutrients. I also didn't get enough vitamin D and I was so exhausted all the time I only got out and exercised when I had to do the prenatal check up and exams.
Moral of the story, humans aren't supposed to live off supplementary pills.

Dang, I feel you! Financial difficulties make everything harder. I am glad that you and the baby pulled through! I hope you all are doing better now. I don't know if you have it in your area, but my sister-in-law used WIC during her pregnancy for a while after. It is a government program in the United States.
"The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) provides federal grants to states for supplemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children up to age 5 who are found to be at nutritional risk."
"Moral of the story, humans aren't supposed to live off supplementary pills." I agree!
Could be heavy periods or you could be a carrier for a blood disease as well. Only iron supplements will fix that. No amount of food will. I say this as someone with heavy periods, sickle cell trait, and who's gone to a blood specialist doctor in the U.S. My best friend has heavy periods and no blood disease and still has to get iron transfusions.

I wonder what effect mass farming of animals in small enclosures to fatten them up has had on the healthiness of meat, assuming that animals farmed this way have more fat than wild animals
no effect at all. and as always depending on the breed and geographical location of the cattle and exactly what they are being fed in the enclosure. as well as what they eat 'in the wild'.
frankly all you have to do is do a necropsy (a post mortem examination by a medical professional on an animal isn't called an autopsy for some medical jargon reason) on any 'feeder cattle' as the industry in the USA calls em or 'feed lot cattle'. then compare those findings to the classical 'home home on the range' cattle that wander thousands of miles every year looking for natural forage in the wild. the only differences you will find?
range cattle have denser and therefore TOUGHER muscles due to a lifelong environment wandering free vs feeder cattle have less tough (more tender) and less developed muscles due to being 'fat lazy cows'... which yes is the source of the insult for people who sit around doing nothing all day, you're being called a feed lot cow.
the feeder cattle have a gentle and quiet lifespan which is significantly shorter than their range cattle cousins. it doesn't take as long to feed a cow in a pen and get it to 'market weight and age' vs a range cow takes upwards of twice as long to gain the same muscle mass and body weight. the range cattle must move great distances to find forage and water and possible shelter from inclement weather. depending on where in the world is Carmen Sandeigo (the cow) bears, wolves, mountain lions, coyotes, African lions, leopards, cheeta, tigers, and other predators may kill and eat the range cattle. not a lot of predators will approach a cattle farm, due to farmers shooting said predators, traps, poisons, and big tall fences sometimes electrified. also all that is depending on where the cow lives. more than one head of cattle is lost yearly to Africa's wildlife and accidents.
also, the myth about 'tiny lots' at least in North America is in fact... a myth. in just about every single US State. feeder cows get regular 'outside time' even in the most freezing cold weather. a well exercised cow is a healthy cow, with better muscle development, demeanor, and tractability to be herded from pasture to pasture to barn/shed/enclosure/feeding machinery/bales of forage. smaller farms will have smaller lots of course. but even the local cattle farmers here in my area of Alabama USA right near three 'cities' with a total population a smidge over 55,000 humans... the cattle lots/grazing fields are sometimes miles long on a side. our lil corner of heaven is right smack North of the I-20 corridor and almost exactly halfway between the major metropolises of Atlanta, Georgia and Birmingham, Alabama. the Southernmost city i mentioned of the three, is almost exactly cut into fourths by a State Highway running North South and the US Interstate i previously mentioned running East West.
so we're not big on raising 'beef' cattle. but we have quite a few dairy farms here.
how did i learn all of this? i lived in Montana, USA for more than five years. so i had plenty of time to absorb lots of cattle facts.
@@lesliekilgore648thanks for that write-up!
It's certainly not healthy for the animals. Feedlot fattening invariably leads to antibiotic dependence simply from having so many animals in close social contact. And using a big diesel tractor to harvest hay and grain, then a big diesel truck to bring it to the feedlot, and then either machinery or a whole lot of water to clear away the manure, will always be problematic compared to letting the cows walk around the paddock harvesting their own feed.
The best option is cattle farmed in a regenerative grazing regime, where the animals are actually helping to rebuild soil by locking carbon into humus.
It is cheaper. Like the fast food eaten for convenience, cost and lack of effort.
one thing is for sure, it is not healthy for the animals.

I've been vegan for 7+ years and vegetarian for 20 and while I do take vitamin D supplements (because I live in the north and like to wear clothes) and I didn't have any issues other than my doctor said it was low, my B12 is fine. B12 is a tricky topic and the research is still coming in. B12 is a very complex vitamin and is destroyed in the the upper intestine but absorbed in the lower intestine. If taken as a supplement or eaten as part of ones diet, the amount of B12 that can be absorbed by one's lower intestine is limited by the amount of intrinsic factor their stomach is able to produce. Many bacteria have been found to produce B12 and vegans and vegetarians can get enough B12 from a health gut biome. Nutritional yeast is also in everything these days. Being vegan takes commitment, discipline, and an understand of nutrition or it won't work. Pottinger's cats shows another mechanism for malnutrition and shows that modern diets have had an effect on people's teeth among all sorts of other things. I think veganism is being blamed for the shortcomings of the people trying vegan diets and not the diets themselves.
As someone who tried to go vegan I agree with this opinion: "I think veganism is being blamed for the shortcomings of the people trying vegan diets and not the diets themselves."
Eating healthy as a vegan takes time, cooking skills, money, understanding my nutritionals needs, room in the fridge to store perishable veggies and likely a few other things I don't know about. I didn't have enough of any of that and so I was only able to last a week on a vegan diet before my previously unknown nutritional deficiencies showed up. I do eat a lot less meat and a lot more veggies nowadays, but I just can't keep up a vegan diet.
I wanted to go on it, because I can't make a vegetarian diet work. Too much reliance on replacing meat proteins with dairy proteins and I am allergic to dairy. So, I raise chickens for eggs and eat sparingly of meat from animals raised in a more natural environment.
That's because you're too braindead to remember the several famous vegans mentioned in the video who literally had their personal doctor test their blood and try everything in their power to make it work to no avail.
Finally and intelligent comment.
@@teresaellis7062why are you replacing meat protein with milk? Why not lentils and legumes and nuts and seeds?! Especially legumes. There’s 100’s of varieties. It’s just soaking properly and cooking properly the difficult part.
I'll just have meat thanks.
Interesting that in some videos, you really don't like non interventional studies. But then, in others, you're totally fine with data that was generated in non controlled environments.
I call it biased videos
@Joardam American Indeed. It seems the what he will use to support his inferences are a matter of convenience. There's no level to them. All of his inferences are treated in the same way. But when it comes to an opposite view, suddenly those tools are flawed and shouldn't be trusted.
Its called cherry picking.
Actually, it’s called understanding data analysis. All data from all types of research is useful, you just need to know how to apply it.
@thebalancedway Wouldn't this be Design Of Experiments actually? I doubt the OP knows what either of these are.
Later on in the video where you're talking about the Plains Indian's height and pemmican, it's of interest to note some of the accounts of the franciscans that accompanied Spanish explorers 500 years ago.
One Franciscan most famous for recording the people and events in the Southwest wrote about the Pima Indians. In one chronicle, he describes a seven-foot-tall Pima Indian warrior running the same speed as a bison, while taking it down with his bow and arrow.
He describes the Pimas of that era in glorious terms. Today, the Pimas outside Tucson, Arizona are the fattest, most diabetic people in the entire world. Their diet consists of US surplus: canned and boxed foods + sodas and fruit juice.
How does he know that Pima was 7 foot tall? Did he measure him or what?
@@DarkKnight-db1dy Yes, he was measured. BTY, at that time in world history, it was estimated that the Pima Indians were the tallest race in the world. Of course, not the whole world was known in that era!
@@higherresolution4490 Estimated by who? Pima weren't even the tallest Indians, let alone the tallest in the world. I have searched the internet and nowhere it mentions that they were the tallest. If you have any source to back your claims up, you can present it. I will be more than happy to add that info to my knowledge.
@@DarkKnight-db1dy it was the Plains Indians that were regarded as the tallest. Do a search for "Standing Tall: Plains Indians Enjoyed Height, Health Advantage"
The accuracy of those reports from that era are suspect. They made many recording errors.
I would be interested to know how fermentation (Generally done with yeast and/or lactic bacteria - if your product has a salt brine and is refrigerated, it's generally fermented) affects the vitamin uptake from vegan diets.
And of course the other end - pickling (Generally done with an outside acid such as vinegar, longer shelf life, doesn't usually need to be refrigerated) and how that affects the vitamin uptake.
Let me know if you do a video on this difference!
My hypothesis would be that it would only help with maybe 2 or 3 vitamins. It helps in the case of K2 but only in the form of either menaquinone 4 or 7, I can’t remember. But there are something like 13 different menaquinones that the body needs and, as far as we know, only other animals can make them.
You can easily look it up. I don’t think you need to comment this on a vid of some guy who doesn’t read the sources he provides
it doesnt amtter how much you ferment it you wont get anything from it apart from the bacteria
why do you thjink cows eat so much grass all day. literally not one animal is vegan. animals cannot utilise minerals and vitamins from plants
Im a 37 year old Vegan. Never needed meat and I serve in the Army. Dont eat processed food. Do for the sake of innocent beings and health will come in body and mind.

Cope more grazing animal. The little boys hitler pulled to the last defense of Berlin were probably a lot fitter and stronger than you are. Humans as carnivores shouldn't care about how an eaten animal feels, it's our food.
It should be noted that bone strength and milk have a long complicated history that to say the least, milk doesn't directly correlate with increased bone strength and growth
Yeah it’s probably just the animal protein and fat that helps people grow taller.
the quality of the dairy is certainly a factor that we should try to understand more
@@Devils.harp.player more like the hormones in the meat and milk..
@@cozypadd Nah, there is a clear difference between health effects of just full fat and skimmed milk, and homogenized and non, and pasteurized and non (though there are some health concerns with the former too)
@@defeqel6537 there are health concerns with all of them. Plus any dairy product.
If you just look at a world map showing amount of dairy consumption and compare that to a world map showing osteoporosis rates, you'll see that they are basically identical.
Worldwide: the more dairy people in a country consume, the higher their rate to suffer from bone loss.
Granted, that's not a study that shows causation. But the correlation is strong.
Regarding the milk for babies...my sister was allergic to cow's milk and couldnt keep it down as a baby, so the doctors had her drink goat's milk. It worked.

@@FassinTaak No.
I think the primary reason for people becoming vegans is the concern for animals.
it's shame based self-flagelation. it's neo catholicism in terms of denying ourselves of our nature. it's the cycle of life that we are to eat or be eaten
there is no ethical difference to animals between vegans and vegetarians
the realest criminal is factory farmed animals and animal products
why don't they become co-op farmers so mass produced soy and corn they eat as a substitute doesn't churn tons of rabbits in the fields, etc?
And becoming morally superior and hated at every party (particularly bbqs) 😝
Yes it absolutely is the primary motivation for most, the health benefits that they want to tout are how they try to use logic to justify a decision that was made for emotional reasons.
I think 2 things can be true at once, it would be morally better if we didn’t have to kill other animals to sustain ourselves, and we are much healthier and thrive better by eating animals.

What I've Learned, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!
I'd love to see a video on artificial sweetners and how they affect the gut and cause bloating
And aspartame and brain development/disease.
@@annademo That'll be a pretty interesting topic
This video is riddled with logical fallacies.
@@mydearriley Elaborate
If you have bloating issues it's not because of AS that's for sure. Bloating comes from consuming too much fiber rich foods, beans make you fart because they are very rich in fiber, vegans fart all the time not because of AS but because they have a much higher intake of fiber than omnivores or carnivores. I rarely if ever fart and never have experienced bloating, that's because I don't consume excess ammounts of fiber and eat a low carb(less than 100g daily) and high in animal products diet. -Back to AS: they can give you cancer according to rat studies but take them with a grain of salt, they fed those poor rodents so much AS daily as a normal human would consume in a life time, if body weight/size is aligned.
During the 'health craze' of the 1970s, I was shopping for groceries with my dad and we came across a spread that touted it had 30% less of something than margarine. I pointed this out, we looked at each other, and decided that we weren't going to eat a substitute for a substitute. It was butter or nothing after that.

Whenever mother-in-law went on holiday, husband and I would move into her flat, to look after her cat. Year 1, the cat couldn't get enough of the raw meat we fed it.
MIL came home and chewed our heads off. "They mustn't have raw meat. It makes them too frisky."
So that was us told. Pet cats must be kept in a permanent nutrient-deprived stupor.

Well meat isn’t the natural food for cats. Mice are. Cats are highly specialised predators. They need the whole mouse, intestines and all, not muscle meat from some cow 😔
@@LittleKikuyu Cats don't eat mice, because they don't like the taste. They only want to hunt and play with them.
@@LittleKikuyu Cats' natural prey is whatever their wild ancestors ate and currently eat. "Mice" is simplistic nonsense based on pop culture references. The domesticated cat's closest wild cousin is the African wildcat. Its diet includes mice and rats but is not exclusively rodent-based. They also eat birds, lizards, other small reptiles, and insects. Except for when you look at the western African wildcat, which is happy to hunt down hares and gerbils. The southern variety will take down antelope fawns as well as domesticated lambs.
Most non vegans are relying on supplemented vitamins, mostly via "nutrient enriched" foods like rice, bread, cereals, iodized salt, etc. They enrich staple foods to boost nutrients that are low in the entire population, but because they're optimizing for non vegans, vegans can benefit from supplementation.
I've been saying for YEARS that the research on red meat has been horrendous. I was 16 when this was the case and people still advocate against it. The worst part is when a family member had blood loss due to severe IBD, he was urged to eat more red meat.

What do you suggest should happen in science and research to change this?
Well, my wife and I are recent parents and before my wife was pregnant she used to eat a very restricted diet given digestion problems of her. Once she got pregnant most of her digestion problems went away and she started to eat a lot like me, with lots of red meat, home made bread (I bake it myself), dairy products, green leafs and vegetables, almost no suggar drinks and instead plain water or fruits blended into water. And our son was born with perfect weight and is being breast feeded along with some formula, but mostly breast milk, and recently incorporating solids, and he is very large for his age, most people saying he is the size of a two years old when he is only 7 months old. Funny thing is that according to all weight and size charts he is pretty much where he should be for his age, so that makes me thing that a lot of kids are undernourished or even malnourished without people noticing it.
"a lot of kids are undernourished or even malnourished without people noticing it." - yes, unfortunatelly they are.
Like those kittens. Yikes.
Also, people are simply not all the same...
bingo
The WHO's growth charts are much higher than what my pediatrician uses. My son is at 50% according to WHO but 80% according to our doctor's charts. He is a chunky boy, eats all the time and has 6-8 poops a day at 12 weeks.

@@velveteenrabbit5940 Yeah, that's why you read as much as possible and make an informed choice.
Brave video, i imagine you wont be reading the comments much for your own peace of mind. Still, i think it's worth saying that i noticed one glaring inaccuracy in the content: ancient wild fruit would NOT have been "only as sweet as a modern carrot." In many cases, yes, humans have selectively bred more sweetness, but as someone who forages as a hobby, i can IMMEDIATELY think of at LEAST 3 wild fruit in my area that are non-cultivated, have no gene flow with cultivated fruits, and are still exceptionally sweet. And that's not even counting the variety in the warmer parts of the world! Fruit have been coevolving with plenty of sweet-loving species for millions of years, and the plants know how to make a fruit that will absolutely delight a hungry primate of any species
I grew up in the African savanna environment humans evolved in. Its mostly grass with sparse drought resistant trees and bushes. Most are thorny. Some have fruit, most taste horrible...though birds and stuff seem to love them.
Fruits are generally not sweet, but instead have a dry taste and sour, and I think its an adaptation to avoid fermentation. Because the rare few fruit that are sweet, spoil very fast (probably due to the heat) and then ferments (imagine the smell of rotten grapes).
the sweetest fruit I encountered, was a type of berry (or a tiny apricot like fruit). Its not very sweet and makes your mouth feel dry (like almost everything else), it has a great flavor though. I think that dry-mouth effect is an adaptation to the climate.
The best fruit I encountered was a kind of hard green apricot (slightly larger than an apricot and white inside), but its very sour (and dries the mouth).
It'd be impossible to survive off these alone, because its very sparse, other animals compete (especially birds and animals that live in trees), they're very seasonal, and they all cause stomach aches when you eat too much too often (especially if it has the dry mouth taste).
local traditional dishes dont really have fruit in them. Its very very heavy on meat with starches. Cultures revolve around meat.
If one goes toward the equator, fruit becomes better and more common. E.g. marula fruit is very sweet when ripe (which does not ast long because of the heat I guess...it over-ripens fast and ferments).
Bushmen focus on meat, bulbs and other starches, and an eternal search for rehydration (the ones I encountered hunt small animals and even porcupines (they lived in a wetter region).
The sweetest thing out there is honey
Marula in the savanna, Dates near the deserts and coconuts along the coastline have been known for their sweetness for thousands of years.
Similarly in India there are hundreds of really sweet wild fruits for which there were no English names even after 200 years of colonisation.
Some did become very popular in the western world, for example the Mango.
Finally there are many cultures which promote vegetarianism, I've been a vegetarian all my life, my grandparents lived for over 100 years without any health issues.
Today's chronic health issues are a direct result of easy, refined calories (refined starch and table sugar) and to a much larger extent the result of a sedentary lifestyle.
Vegan "doesn't work" is as relevant and informative as an uninformed primary school student's essay.
@@vikassmwell put.
As a sidenote, vegetarian diets are cheaper than non-veg ones - unleas you're buying ready meals, which... eh.
The video is so full of fallacies anyway, so no wonder it has all sort of bombastic statements
@@vikassm Vegan and vegetarian diets are vastly different. Furthermore, that a vegetarian indian diet works does not mean that a Scandinavian vegan diet is equally nutritious... You call others as uninformed as primary school students, yet you yourself can't even grasp the difference in available nutrition in different climates...
In addition 2 out of the 3 fruits you mentioned were already cultivated and changed by humans thousands of years ago... Only the coconut out of those is believed to have been similar before. And even there you will most likely have more sour tasting ones like most of the wild sorts today.
The only thing you are is not smart or knowledgeable but ignorant.
It was mentioned in he comments but i also have read that doing sports during childhood and teenagehood and chewing harder foods as our faces grow and specially as food is introduced after 6months of age really has an effect on the size and shape of your jaw.
My brother is the only sporty on in our family and his jaw is massive and has natural straight teeth. He even had space for all his wisdom teeth, which is something rare amongst all the people i know in their 30s and 20s now.
Also because he ate meat.
Probably because exercise floods your system with HGH, which also affects the palatal plates.
Sound unattractive... Ngl
That's interesting. I grew up much more active and on a better diet than my brother, but he ended up with straight teeth and I got crooked ones.
Same here, I ate a lot of tough to chew food, like homemade breads with thick crusts (not that soft squishy garbage at the grocery store), lots of apples or fruits you really had to bite into, lots of meats with varying degrees of quality (some you just had to keep chewing, yeah not the best stuff to eat but I do think it helped to shape my teeth and jaw, we didn't always have money to get better quality meats), and more.
All of my teeth came in perfectly straight, and I've had no problems with my wisdom teeth crowding or other issues. I never needed braces, meanwhile everyone in my school had to get them. Chewing tough foods or foods with roughage definitely helps develop the way your teeth will be set and how strong your jaw/jaw line is. My dentist is always so surprised at how healthy my teeth are. I've only ever had one tiny cavity that was so small they didn't even need to give me novacaine. They drilled for 5 seconds max (yes it still hurt) but then it was done!

At 10:07, you incorrectly cite DOI: 10.1093/ajcn/78.1.131. The 92% holoTC figure explicitly refers to individuals that did *not* take B supplements. 88% of vegan "vitamin users" had low holoTC - very similar number, but if you look at the actual levels, they were substantially better on average (14 pmol/L vs 4 pmol/L) for vitamin-users. B12 levels for vitamin-using vegans were actually slightly better than LV-LOV individuals in this study. Clearly, B12 supplements do *something*.
In the study, "vitamin users" took B vitamin supplements, but not with any particular protocol.
That said, the study does show a stark contrast between omnivores and vegetarians - only 1% of omnivores had low B12, and 11% had low holoTC levels,
Don't confuse the man with facts O.o

@@EmanPwns The context of the citation was a discussion of vegetarians and vegans who take B12 supplements, but the figures cited were for those who do not take B12 supplements. Why would you quote the non-supplement-taking figures when discussing the effectiveness of B12 supplements?

Well it worked for me. I am 60 and I have more energy and feel healthier than when I was in my twenties. It is true though that most people who go vegan do not do their research properly. My big mistake in the first year was not getting enough protein.
It works fine for me too. People make the whole thing about themselves. I do it for the animals.
Actually most meat eaters aren't even getting enough protein as well. That isn't just a Vegan thing, it is pretty common in most people. The vitamin B12 and Choline deficiencies are also common in all people too. Yes, Vegans have it worse, but if people at the right amounts of certain types of foods daily they wouldn't have protein, B12, or Choline deficiencies. It's just harder to do on a Vegan diet, but entirely possible.
My mother's been a nurse for many years, saw so many of guys like francis and amile here who think it works for them, then they get tons of medical issues and/or die sooner than they should be.

When most people think “traditional diets” they think diets that go back to 1700 CE. Traditional diets are diets that go back over 40,000 years ago pre-agriculture.
Yeah usually people don't know that Italian food did not have tomato sauce or tomatoes until the New World was discovered, explored and had their tomatoes commercialized globally. If you want real traditional Italian food you have to go much back. Tomatoes itself is an American food first eaten by Mexicans and Native Americans. So tomato is really Mexican/Native American food and has less roots with Italian cuisine.
Most scientists who study the ancient human diet say that the evidence for what humans ate pre-agriculture is extremely poor and open to interpretation. The only solid conclusion was that ancient humans were omnivores that ate whatever they could find that was edible and the diet was likely to vary with location and season at higher latitudes. Insects/bugs were likely to be a significant component of most ancient human’s diets.

Ok, just so you know, something being oxidised doesn't mean that you now need an anti-oxidant. Oxidation is one-half of what we chemists call a Redox reaction - that's a reduction-oxidation reaction. As 'x' is oxidised, 'y' is reduced. An anti-oxidant would prevent the redox reaction from taking place at all and NOT- as you suggested- be used as a sort of 'morning after pill' for random oxidation happening without a corresponding reduction.
I hope that makes sense. If not, please read up on "Redox Reactions," to give you an ACCURATE understanding of oxidation, as opposed to the use of "Oxidation" as a buzzword.

When determining the significance of a study, there are several factors to consider, including the study design, sample size, statistical methods used, and the credibility of the researchers conducting the study. A study that is well-designed, has a large sample size, uses appropriate statistical methods, and is conducted by reputable researchers is more likely to produce reliable and valid results.
Isn't replication the most important thing? Like, reputation can be a social facade, fancy math can be correct but misapplied, the large sample size can have undetected bias etc etc.
@@rct999 replication isn't important, but replicability is. As for sample size, you have two choices, either large sample size or small sample size, the smaller the sample size the more noise you have and the less reliable the data. The higher the sample size the smaller the chance that anomalies determine the outcome.
With a larger sample size, you wouldn't have gotten the outcome you e.g. see with his claims about fiber and constipation, since you don't have enough people suffering from a condition that isn't fixable with fiber.
@@Baka7655 it's really easy to form the outcome of a study to your will. E.g. one study found that children can concentrate much better when they ate candy in school for lunch.
Well i looked at the study and found that they compared it to children who didn't eat anything at all.
Or with small sample sizes you can just repeat your experiment until you have the right data points and then publish only the last findings.
That's why I'm trying to tell everyone what to look for when they look at the studies used in this video.
Thanks for you comment. Very true, always look at conflict of interests in the people conducting AND funding the study.
Sadly health from eating cheap vegetables and exercising won't fill any corporations pockets, so there's no one to put a lot of money into proper studies, so there are much more low quality studies that say meat and dairy is safe, than studies actually showing what's going on
As we used to say a work, you can manipulate statistics to reflect whatever result you want.
Sample size is the most important factor actually. If it is small, its a useless study. The sample size needs to be very large, as large as possible.
I’m much healthier since I’ve become a pescatarian, but I don’t think it’s for lack of meats like Turkey and Chicken, it’s just that pescatarianism lead me to be more mindful about what I eat in general. This happens with most diets, so I think it’s less about what diet you have and more just having a diet

Weston did indeed identify the need for Vitamin K2, but he didn't name it K2, he called it x-factor, as he had no idea what kind of thing it was, just that it occurred in animal products, and was not Vitamin D or Vitamin A.

22:46 - the allergies are one thing but when it comes to the mental health issues, there has to be a degree to which diagnosis and environment are probably playing a role, not just nutrition

Not necessarily true. There are people who talk about reversing all symptoms of depression, anxiety, bipolar, ADHD, and even schizophrenia when eating a low carb/keto/carnivore diet. There are practicing psychiatrists who are now using a ketogenic diet to treat their patients.
I think a lot of the symptoms that make up mental and physical illness are all symptoms of insulin resistance, and then they’re just clustered and called different things, but if you address the insulin resistance, then the symptoms themselves improve and or reverse, so no more disease. That’s just one reason Alzheimers, for example, is called diabetes type 3, because it is insulin resistance of the brain.
@@LauraB.335 it's definitely possible, but my point remains that there are very likely a number of factors contributing to the the prevalence mental health issues are very much due to factors other than nutrition alone

One of the most infuriating things about the cat diet research discoveries in this video is that current regulations make it extremely difficult for animal food companies to produce a raw meat diet for pets that they can legally market. I have a cat that started having health issues around age 12, we switched him to a raw diet and he became healthy again. He just turned 21 years old. He has some arthritis and hearing loss but is otherwise healthy. He doesn't even need dental cleanings. The raw meat diet brand we used was put out of business because the government won't allow them to sell raw meat to predator animals THAT THRIVE ON RAW MEAT! It also has a bit to do with pet food companies that make baked kibble and cooked canned food, lobbying against raw brands. Brands like Science Diet pay off veterinarians with scholarships to peddle their brand. It's even more corrupt than the people food industry.
Vegans are feeding their cats vegan diets.
@@Black-Circle same with dogs, it should be considered animal abuse
@jonahwhale9047 "just fine" is a moving target determined by those who benefit from the approved standard. If this video hasn't convinced you of that then I doubt I will. In regards to making cats illegal I would suggest a more reasonable and healthier goal of requiring domestic cats to be contained indoors or in enclosures that prevent them from hunting native animals, as should be the requirement of all domestic species. I suspect the introduction of the European starling and house sparrow have done far greater harm than cats though.

Since I've been recently experiencing quite severe symptoms of GERD, I immediately felt compelled to google what was said at 13:54 that "dietary fiber is known to weaken the stomach acid" and all the articles and studies I looked over assert the exact opposite ("fiber, among other things, absorbs liquid in the digestive system, which prevents the displacement of stomach acid"). Was that just downright botched in the video or am I misunderstanding it?
This videos are completely biased , there is no intention to be cientific , its pure cherry picking
@@joardamamerican9701 Poor grammar but valid point.
His "removing fibre from your diet removes all symptoms of fibre in your diet." was a point where I started questioning his way of seeing the data.
Especially since he doesn't outright say that he recommends zero dietary fibre.
If you are trying to be accurate, removing or adding fiber to/from your diet may worsen or alleviate symptoms. Why?, because it’s situational, just like fiber can both alleviate constipation or make it worse and yes that is true no matter what type of fiber you ingest.
@@joardamamerican9701 Of course he's going to present the data that agrees with his viewpoints. It is the duty of the people receiving his information to research its validity and then agree or disagree. I, for one, am very convinced that the information he presents is valid because I've made my own research. It's just as idiotic to totally reject any new viewpoint just because it contradicts traditional "knowledge" as it is to embrace it completely without any judgment. And yes, there are a ton of contradictory data out there, but the ultimate test is to try on yourself and see. When you are trying to improve conditions that are just no responding to "established medicine practices", well, you can't be very worse off experimenting a little with your diet. I know ALL my gastric issues disappeared after eliminating fiber (almost) completely from my diet; It is unbelievable the difference. As someone in the video said, one thinks being painfully bloated and constipated is the way life goes, but believe me, it is not.
Might be how you searched for it. If you type "fiber links to bloating" you will find results talking about how much fibre to have before bloating sets in, or results stating what fibre to avoid that causes bloating. Bloating is a symptom of weakened stomach acid. So the video statement is not invalid.
Vegan is extreme, but mainly carnivore societies (Inuits, Mongols) are the shortest-living. The longest-living societies are eating meat… but in small amounts according to Western standards.
Agreed
Carnivore societies also live in the harshest environments on earth, maybe that has something to do with it…. Unless you think having a baby in -50 F has no effect on infant mortality.
If anything it’s a miracle they’re able to even live there, and probably owe their incredible success to eating meat.
@@somerandomperson1503 Maybe, but hard to say. For example, people in Nepal live very long, and the conditions are quite hard as well.
@@janklosowski Living in Nepal is far easier than Mongolia or the Arctic circle. The average rainfall in Nepal is 63 inches per year, in Mongolia it is only 16. Additionally the temperature of Mongolia is much, much colder than Nepal. You’re comparing a humid subtropical climate to a harsh arctic climate and a cold arid desert climate. Again, like comparing apples to oranges. And in spite of the harsh climate, the people of Mongolia live about as long as the people of Nepal, with both averaging around 71 years life expectancy.

There also was a study on kids in Africa, all the same gene pool and a marginal base diet. Supplementation was done with carbs, fats, and proteins (same calorie value). Kids supplemented with carbs and fat had a 3 point increase in IQ. Kids supplemented with protein had 10 point increase in IQ.
Not sure about that. For animals, fats are the most valuable, sought out, and scarce nutrient n nature, compared to proteins, carbs, and sugars because it is the preffered fuel source for our brains, which can't function properly without it. When people fast (run out of food) they use all the sugar in the blood from their last meal, then switch to burning our stored fat through ketosis and you can definitely feel the difference. When foods are scarce and we need more, rather than get weak, slow, and tired, well become more awake, alert, and aware after switching to burning ketones, because evolution made us store enegy for later, when we needed to hunt, gather, and obtain more energy. This only adds to the.mystery of how our brains developed to its current size and complexity because brains require so many fats just to function properly, not to mention growing and evolving into what we see today..
@@MrArtdelgado210 This had to do with quality of brain function, not just energy balance. I read the study; it was long-term and well-designed. (Also, my background is biochemistry, so I understood it.)
@@Reziac I've always been interested in the role of animal protein --- including red meat -- in measuring IQ. GRANTED, IQ tests (Stanford-Binet, etc.) are wildly Eurocentric and reward answers which reflect fluency in mainstream, rather privileged European-American, i.e. "white," society. 50 years ago, it seemed that Northern Europeans were "smarter" than other ppl. Otherwise, how did a tiny island-- England-- come to rule the known world for 4 centuries? Germany also got high marks. But now...China and Japan basically beat the pants off everyone else for academic performance, and India, in spite of crushing poverty, produces sterling achievement and accomplishment in technical fields, medicine, academia, etc. Diets in Asia vary wildly and include stuff that WASP Americans would never eat.

When viewed from an evolutionary perspective, fiber is integral in our digestion. We mainly subsisted off plants with meat being intermittent. Fossilized feces show we were getting upwards of 100 grams per day of fiber. The most competitive organisms are in symbiosis with their environment. As humans we demonstrate this by our main detoxification pathway, our digestive system working with fiber to escort bile/waste materials out of the body. Bile and wastes need fiber to bind with in order to exit the body.
Another way we demonstrate this is our reliance on our gut microbes to produce SCFA’s. The main food source for our beneficial, short chain fatty acid producing microbes is fiber. Our bodies evolved to outsource SCFA production to our microbes because through our high fiber ancestral diet, we had an abundance of microbes populating our guts. Again demonstrating efficiency through symbiosis.

The benefits of theobromine are underrated and I don't think any other food is this concentrated with antioxidants. Blueberries for example are infamous for being abundant in antioxidants, cacao has 40 times more antioxidant potency than blueberries

Bioavailability is the key word when discussing nutritions.
or nutrient density of foods
These non-vegans are laughable. They claim that our diets are somehow inferior to their diet because we subtract the murdered flesh of what, 5 or 6 species of animal. Meanwhile in reality, there are 10,000+ edible species of plants that I'm yet to fully explore in my 11 years of veganism. I eat such a diverse array of foods and I've never been healthier than I am right now.
They'll drone on about animal proteins... especially if they're gym-rats. As if humans require proteins to produce muscles. lol ... but all they're effectively showing us is that they know exactly nothing about how the human body produces proteins. The human body produces proteins with the help of 5 amino acids that are commonly found in plants. But you can't fill a cup that is already overflowing with its own bullsht.
@@starc. That's irrelevant, you can just eat more of it.
@@Fallenangel_85 the more you eat the more you use your body up and age faster

For you.
Food is a package deal. If you just focus on some components and the bioavailability of those, you can make big mistakes. Look at the whole picture. What else do you get with those readily available nutrients? How does your body respond to that?
To be vegan it is not a diet but consciousness
If you eat vegan, it is a diet. Which can also be consciousness for you. My being an omnivore is a diet and consciousness for me. I eat meat, avoiding factory farmed meats. Personal health is important.
@@diannt9583 meat is not necessary, i am vegetarian for 45yrs
@@lianatobias3741fruit and vegetables are not necessary. I get complete nutrition from animal products. Better health overall compared to my previous omnivorous diet.
Veganism is a cult. Nothing more.
@@diannt9583 all the same nutrients are in plants
I've been a vegetarian my whole life and I'm perfectly healthy. Love cheese and cooking with my pet chickens eggs too much to go vegan! Also, Vegetarians seem a lot more level-headed than vegans. I went vegan for a summer with my step mom once but had to go back to vegetarianism after feighnting when I came back home. It's a lot more hard to be vegan!
The month I tried a vegan diet my body felt incredibly weak every single day, even though I did research all the nutrients I'd require and tried combining certain foods to get everything I need, made sure I got enough calories, used supplements too.. But nothing seemed to work, so I decided I shouldn't continue like this and became vegetarian again. Everything went back to normal.
Veganism is an ethical choice to abstain from animal products

Anecdotes are not a replacement for legitimate research and cold hard facts.
been saying that for years mate. On that note are you vegan yet?@@noname91784
Creatine, carnosine, anserine and taurine are mentioned at Minute 29:25. One of the major components of aging is non-enzymatic glycosylation, or glycation. Carnosine can prevent this issue, & possibly remediate it in cataracts by using a liquid version of acetyl-l-carnosine. The Russians developed this technique.
Anserine is the bird version of carnosine. The reason why a pigeon lives 35 years, and yet a comprable rodent of the same weight will only live 4-6 years is because of anserine. It's anti-glycation properties are six to seven times more powerful than carnosine.
Interesting, thanks
