    Thanks for all your hard work, Dr. Nagra! You're a great advocate. We can take care of our health AND be kind to animals. What could be better than that?! Looking forward to more from you :)

    Abstract:
    We tested whether jumping off a cliff was causaully assosiated with all cause mortality. We followed 34,565 men for 12 years prospectively.
    Results:
    Jumping off a cliff was not assosiated with all cause (RR 1.02; 95% CI: 0.98, 1.05), coronary heart disease (RR: 1.03; 95% CI: 0.98, 1.09), or stroke (RR: 0.99; 95% CI: 0.93, 1.05) (P > 0.05 for all). In models in which we estimated the effects of jumping into marshmallow, there was no decreased risk of ACM RR 1.01; 95% CI 0.97-1.03.
    Conclusions:
    Current public health guidelines to not jump off a cliff are not supported by scientific evidence, for this reason, reccomendations to not jump off a cliff should be taken with caution.

    As much as I love to see anyone promoting an animal based diet get destroyed, I feel bad for Anthony. He is clearly out of his depth in this debate. He is obviously not coming from a science background, and he doesn't seem to fully understand your explanations when it comes to study methodology and physiological mechanisms and why the studies he references are not adequately supporting his position. I appreciate that he is able to question the status quo, think for himself and attempt to delve in to the literature. However, this is a really good example of how a lack of scientific literacy can lead to people thinking their beliefs are confirmed by science when in fact there is little to no evidence to support their views. I'm sure finding someone to debate that holds this position and that is well versed in analysing the scientific literature is not easy to find. Either way, I really enjoyed the debate for the data you presented.

    Finally had the time to listen to this. Great debate. Basically what Anthony believes is that even though we know jumping out of an airplane at 30k feet with no parachute will kill you, it's possible that if you eat the right diet you could survive such a fall, it just hasn't been studied yet...so it's ok to do so until we know for sure. Amazing mental gymnastics to hold on to a position that all indicators say is wrong, just because it hasn't been fully studied and proven to be wrong in a specific context...

    The argument by many ketovores and carnivores that cholesterol is critically important for the body is a moot point. We're talking about excess cholesterol being harmful, not cholesterol in general. Water is also critical for the body but too much will kill you, as with anything else. I'm afraid Anthony is way over his head in this discussion. The kind of people I'd love for you to debate would be someone like Dr. Robert Cywess, Paul Saladino, or Anthony Chaffee. They are huge proponents of a Carnivore diet and I would love to see them soundly trumped.

      Exactly. If this proved anything, it's that you DO need at least some kind of formal education in biostatistics or at least scientific study interpretation of you want to parade around telling people a certain diet, lifestyle, meditation, whatever is superior to another. This was nothing but a perfect example of you can't just "do your own research" and then somehow become an expert

    man, despite how frustrating this debate probably was for Nagra and the audience, it is a masterful reply to all of the talking points and studies we see in the wild from the “saturated fat skeptics” side. Nagra takes all of the wind out of every single one of his points and barely asks for a concesión in return.

Just eat plants, powders supplements and all other whole foods invented by man and push iron and watch movies and dare not think beyond science...

      Eran Goldberg it’s specifically focus on LDL and SFA as they pertain to CVD. Low cholesterol and high rates of CVD is definitely prevalent, and “not studied in meat-only diets” is in there too. If you get bored part way through, skip to 2:14:45 for the reductios. That’s my fav part.
