- We’ve been warned that eating saturated fat, the type found in meat, cheese, and other dairy foods, can lead to heart disease. Instead, we've been told to choose healthy fats from nuts, seeds, fish, and vegetable oils.Saturated fats, while not as harmful as trans fats, by comparison with unsaturated fats negatively impact health and are best consumed in moderation. Foods containing large amounts of saturated fat include red meat, butter, cheese, and ice cream.

I find this topic very interesting concerning saturated fats. I come from German / Russian heritage where saturated fat is a part of their diet. Both of my Grandparents would save the fat / grease after cooking meat and use it on their bread. Their diet consists red meat, pork, butter and lard. Heart disease does not run in my family despite many of them having high LDL levels confirmed by blood work and not being on statins. My father has 11 siblings and my mother has 10 siblings and no heart disease.
Some may tolerate it a little better, genetic mutations, some n3 can prevent plaque ruptures, but they still have arteries narrowed and weak cardio function at higher age. Onset of erectile dysfunction is a good early indicator. Switch to clean plant diet and the dysfunction reverses soon...
Healthy coconut saturated fat is also a myth. There are videos out representing the balance of scientific evidence correctly.
Only a low fat plant-based diet has been shown to significantly reverse heart disease.
I would suggest it's their diet. Basically if modern medicine tells you one thing you can be pretty sure to believe the opposite. I'd stick with the diet of your ancestors.
Very similar to my family. Everyone lived to late 90’s to low 100’s back in the day. Ate no processed foods with trans-fats because there weren’t any. Ate full fat dairy and lots of eggs and good quality meats. Cooked with butter, lard, and bacon grease. No heart disease.
Exactly. Saturated fat is actually the savior here, it's the least prone to oxidation. Basically, if heart disease is thought of as the big bad wolf, you want to build your body of mainly bricks, a little straw, and some sticks (mainly saturated, a little poly, and some mono fats).
@@JasonActualization THIS! Im sp frustrated because I have heard this before and the logic makes sense, our fat chains are made mostly of saturated. So wouldnt it makes sense to have plenty of natural wholefood sources of saturated fats?
Yet this Doc over here doesnt really address this in his video.
American diet-based health problems (heart disease, in particular) started in the 1920's, with the invention and heavily marketed spread of industrial "vegetable oil," compounded by the appearance of cheap sugar and the flood of high-fructose syrup, in the 1960's and 1980's, respectively. One should return to the organic, vegetable-rich, fruit-rich, whole-grain, whole-dairy and animal-based farm diets of the 19th Century. All highly processed, industrial "vegetable" oils (corn, safflower, canola, palm, etc.) are high in omega-6 (aka, linoleic acid: the mitochondria killer) and should be avoided.
Seed oils are heart healthy
@@titanattackbee1985 just the opposite. Seed oils are highly inflammatory, easily oxidized (rancid) and processed at high heat and with chemicals like hexane, resulting in an oil that is very toxic to us and damaging to our mitochondria. Probably play a big part in hyperinsulinemia, too.
@@Ge1Ri4 unhydronated seed oils have the best long term outcomes
seed oils even outpreform olive oil sometimes
@@titanattackbee1985 You might need some extraordinary evidence if you want to convince people that these unnatural seed oils could be healthy.
My Family never had heart attacks or any CVD… my cholesterols have always been not so good though I’ve been pretty active all my life, swimming, jogging few marathons even, martial arts bmi 24-26, non smoking… yeah they always told me to take statins. As a native Nordic my diet has always been basic Nordic more or less
And 6 months ago I was diagnosed t2d… but and guess what, he told me to start medicines. Instead of medicines I started to decrease my carbs, an apple a day and some berries, veggies, full fat dairy and meat. No vegetable oils but avocado or olive oil
HgA1c 6 weeks ago 5.5% and I expect it goes a bit lower next time. Triglycerides from 250 to 111. All this just with a small shift in diet and in 5 months. Weight lost 7 kg and waist line loss by 9 cm
Fantastic? Great job
KEEP DOING EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING--LIVE LONG/BE HAPPY
Congrats 👏
The fatty acids are about 90% saturated. But coconut oil is perhaps most unique for its high content of the saturated fat lauric acid, which makes up around 40% of its total fat content ( 1 ). This makes coconut oil highly resistant to oxidation at high heat.
Stop demonizing coconut oil
@@bobcocampo Stop weaponizing it!
@@billboyle1588
It is based on research. Don't demonize it
I lost 150lbs on eating Ketovore. I went from 321lbs to 170lbs. Took me 2 years with 2 years maintaining now. I do not eat any breads, pasta, rice, or white potatoes - an occasional Sweet Potato. I only use Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, or Avocado. I do not eat out. My lipids drastically changed for the better and are currently:
Total Cholesterol = 169
Triglycerides = 42
HDL = 64
VLDL = 9
LDL = 96
Exactly! I improved my health by eating saturated fats! Love fatty meats
Keto will bounce sooner or later. There are always sugar cravings lurking. Its an odd hunger metabolism, with lack of real energy and punch (Make a cycling spinning test). Though there may be superficial hopeful mood for a while (to support survival from famine). BTDT. Low carb has 4x higher severe COVID risk vs normal (starch based) plant-based diet according recent study. And similarly many other health risks on the long run. Its bad for the arteries.
Look up the weight loss champion Chuck Caroll at (TH-cam PCRM) for transition to a better diet.
Start focusing on stearic acid found in grassfed butter and ghee and tallow. Avacado and olive oil have higher peroxide values. Coconut is okay if organic unrefined unfiltered coldpressed.
Cooking with fats that are liquid and room temperature is a mistake.
Very Good
My mother drank milk full whole milk extensively and butter all our life. She also ate hamburger all her life. She lived to 95 years old and outlived most of her doctors who told her her diet was bad. When she got cut open for her second hip replacement in her early 90s the doctor looked inside her body and said she had the body of a 30 year old inside including bones. My father followed all the low fat advice. He had multiple heart attacks. He died in his eighties which is still a good old age but his low-fat diet didn't help him. In fact what we now know is is no egg yolk diet and his low-fat diet actually hurt him in many ways not to mention they stacked those horrible statin drugs on top of him which we also know have terrible effects in which cause muscle wasting in his case which prevented him from getting some exercise involving his legs cuz they became painful. So I think I'll choose my mother's way. We're all going to die sometime and doctors don't know what the hell they're talking about and so we might as well take our chances with what our body most likely evolved with which is natural dairy and meat fats. After all it works for the eskimos.
Called statistics. Saying doctors or scientist don’t know what they are talking about is ignorant if they base it off clinical data (even more important in double blind clinical trials like statins had done). Don’t be ignorant and be better and stop using a small data set (your parents) to guide your medical decisions.
Remember you are the son of both, do your mom could have give you the genetics to resist high cholesterol diet but your father are in equal possibility to give you his genetics. Maybe the doctors don’t know anything but at least they will ask you to go get blood tests and if you are resistant like your mom, go ahead and eat whatever you want but if you are susceptible like your dad was, you better be careful.
@R C Thank you, hero. Yeah, because statistics have never ever been twisted or manipulated in order to support the agendas of the political, powerful, or greedy. But don’t let that stop you from lecturing folks who are doing just fine.
@@beuller7 because knives were never used to harm anyone, right ? Should we use our minds and be critical thinkers ? Hell no! let's get rid of them! And if you believe in stats, but think that several studies were frauded, in science we have something called peer review. Finally, if you still don't believe them, make your study yourself, it's not that hard. I would be happy to read it. Have a good day ✌️
@@wesley-m Uh, you sorta just made my point. Just as you make distinctions between between how knives can be used for good or for ill, the same can be done - and often is done - with statistics. Besides, I never said we should do away with all statistics. Still though, thank you for the snark. I guess.
Mike, another very informative video but I really found the background music made it hard for me concentrate on your message. For all us non-doctors the amount of information you present requires complete focus, for me at least. Many times I need to pause, digest and replay specific parts. And when I do that, the background music actually becomes irritating. Hope you forgo it in future videos. Thanks for all your work at keeping us healthy and informed.
Yes. There is a lot of information given very quickly and it is difficult to absorb it all, so like you, I need to play stuff over. It would be good not to have the background noise. This is a lot of great information.
Me too ... I had to:
(1) Turn on CC.
(2) Set play speed to 0.75

Thank you Dr. Mike for this video! I love cheese and yogurt from whole milk! I cut those out of my diet decades ago and have had 5 heart attacks. Now on Keto, eating FAT, protein and 20 g of carbs per day. I have never had this much energy or stamina in my 67 years! My cardiologist is old school, and is having a fit over what I am eating, and keeps wanting me to go back to STD Amer. Diet. NO WAY! I am schooling him now on fats and health benefits of them, and this video is now going to be my next appointment agenda. Thank you thank you.
How does one survive 5 HEART ATTACKS!? Wow, you're an inspiration. And yes, my doc insists I go on STATINS even though I lost 25 pounds and my cholesterol fell from 7 to 3 via KETO DIET.

Hi Dr.Hansen good see you again great video as always Dr.Hansen is awesome have a good day pal peace out 👊👍
It seems increasingly clear that the effects of saturated fat consumption may be highly contextual, especially with in conjunction with the intake of foods that cause insulin resistance. There seems to be at least some evidence that even high levels of saturated fat intake in the context of low simple carb diets can actually lead to weight loss and improved metabolic health. That saturated fats can be so satiating also helps people adhere to diets that are high in saturated animal fats.
I don’t go to doctors for health information. I’m 69 YO and in good health. I’m already doing most of the things you mentioned. I’m 6ft 1 end 210 lbs, I want to get down to 180. We’ll see. Most people I know don’t live a healthy life style. Information to live healthy is available more so now than ever before. It’s not easy living healthy, but it’s not hard either. I’m in good health only by the grace of God. I thank you and those like you who are giving healthy information to us. May God bless you and your family.
I agree. I only go to a doctor to get lab tests done which I know how to read myself anyway. I don't need to sit there and have them go over them with me. I'm a nutritionist, and know that doctors don't know anything about how to stay healthy. All they know how to do is diagnose diseases (maybe - they're wrong often) and prescribe drugs.
Amen
if you like bread you can substitute with Ezekiel 3:16 flourless bread...toast it and and put avocado on it with any veggie and it is delicious.... does not spike your sugar. You weight by cutting out bread and sugar alone.
I don t ask doctors on nutrition matters,they know nothing about it,30 + years on medication because of Crohns disease,and all it took was 10 days on carnivore diet to throw pills away ( in doctors mailbox) and even if I ate the fat version of minched beef meat (14-18 % fat) I started loosing weight anyways,since then I avoid artificial oils and now use butter,oliveoil,coconut oil,have a spread of turmeric on most meals + the pepper that makes it easier for the body to take up,have a 72 hours fasting now and then and intermittent fasting on the dayly basis,needles to say I don t eat bread,potatoes, rice or other sugar plants.I learnt most of what I know now from Ekberg,Berg,Berry and also educate myself on topics like cancer,how it s possible to stop with fasting,which you are not supposed to get in the first place if you are a carnivore.
Retired general internist with metabolic syndrome here. This is fascinating, and so much more than I learned in med school. (Graduated 1980). Bottom line again- no processed foods, and I will continue to use whole dairy.
Why is the medical community ignoring the ACC guidelines but sticking to the AHA 100%
You're a doctor? Is it good to cook and fry with pork fat? Many doctors recommend it but it scares me. Someone said that fats that become solid at room temperature also become solid in our arteries and can clog them.
@@untalfelipin5202 what's typical room temperature and what's your internal temperature. If you can answer that you will be able to judge the information "soneone" gave you. Re pork fat - better than seed / vegetable oils but because of what pork is fed it probably has quite high levels of polyunsaturated fats which will become oxidised which is not good for you. I would use beef fat personally or for a vegetarian option coconut oil.
@@untalfelipin5202try sesame seed oil instead. Yes, it's a seed oil, but unlike others, it is universes better. It can even be better than olive oil for cooking since it doesn't breakdown like it.
Great content! I wonder if you could make a whole episode on triglicerids? Since you mentioned its important role, yet there is very little info about it. (Mine is also high without high bad colesterol…)
high triglycerides is an indication you are eating a lot of sugar and processed foods. Eat vegetables, omega 3 from fish, cut out sugar, exercise, drink water, take vitamin D3, magnesium.
Mike, this video put out so much information that it's hard to digest it all for us common folks. Could you list in a paragraph what foods we should and should not be eating? Obviously not refined carbs (sugar) but what about the rest..
Pleased you said that cos I have no idea after watching that video either 🤔 it's all really confusing , I literally have no idea what I should and shouldn't be eating really. Is wholegrain pasta / brown rice ok in moderation. I take it butter is ok, not sure about full fat milk, is semi skimmed milk better? Got the impression red meat is bad generally so best avoiding that. It's a real minefield isn't it though...
@@andrewguy8599 full fat milk is fine as is red meat, try and avoid processed meats like salami
Thank you Dr Mike👍
Great info ! Thanks !
Thank you Dr. Hansen. I appreciate that you share insightful, applicable, evidenced- based advice!
great video, thanks!
Vegetarian for almost 40 years. 107 lbs ( not skinny tho) my cholesterol went to 200 over the pandemic, yet as always, triglycerides were low andHDL was high. Great ratio. I do eat grass fed dairy, olive oil, avocado oil and coconut milk in curries occasionally. I’m considered very healthy. Rarely eat out.
107 pounds not skinny? How tall are you?
@@sev7463 - And not sarcopenia?
I have a question, did u lose weight also with eating dairy avocado oil coconut milk.. most vegetarians doc say not to eat fat.
Maybe not skinny but lacking some essential nutriens
Eating out is the worst. Pay five times what it would cost at home and don’t know what you’re actually getting.
Every doctor needs to watch this. Most recieve little nutrion training in medical school.
Sadly, USA authority thinks more crimes and more unhealthy bodies the better economy.
You needed to add pastured meats, dairy and eggs to your analysis, especially when it's done on a diverse, 'weedy' pasture. The change in fat profiles and added nutrition makes a huge difference in the desirability of these products overall.
Animals grazed on pastures using holistic methods also are good for the environment, which is the opposite of animals raised in CAFOs, so it is win-win...
Very true.... we need real fat. Or, one starves themselves in many ways.
Using animals as food is NOT “good for the environment”. In fact, it’s the worst thing for the environment out there. It’s terrible for the animals, the human body AND the environment. It’s a lose/lose/lose.
@@Julia-en1ok
You're very wrong. Holistic methods have been shown to actually restore vegetation; build topsoil; reduce erosive soil loss; reduce aerosolized carbon; replace the need for biocides as well as synthetic fertilizers; increase overall biomass; restore soil biota; reduce the costs of producing food; utilize land poorly adapted to other types of food production; increase overall food production; reduce the need for irrigation and reduce electrical grid strain; reduce air and water pollution; etc.
This is much better than the destructive methods of conventional ranching and farming, including CAFOs, or organic methods alone. The science shows that organic can be very destructive when done in a conventional manner.
Suggest you look into the likes of Joel Salatin, Mark Shepard, Alan Savory, and others who use ethical, permacultural means to produce food.
@@b_uppy We can agree to disagree, thanks.
@@Julia-en1ok
I can agree that you're wrong, because science is on my side.
My GP has nothing to say...Over the past 4-5 years she has witnessed me losing 15 kg in weight, dumping statins, stabilizing my BP, and generally being in a far better space today, on a 10/25/65 diet, than I ever was. She does not seem to be interested in dietary issues. So I have taken on the "slack"', and have done the research myself over the time period. Of the 65% fat I take, around 25% is saturated, thus around 16% of my daily cal intake is from saturated fats.
Convoluted mind.
Thanks 😊
Thank you.
May you be well sir.

Best lecture , You are extremely fast in doing research. You must be a very good doctor.
Great... Thanks 😊👍
I love this channel!
A topic you didn't hit on is LDL in itself isn't bad if its alpha profile. That is it hasn't been glycated (oxidized) by sugar. Once LDL is oxidized it becomes beta profile and the body has no receptors for oxidized LDL. It is consumed by macrophages which settle in the bloodvessels and become plaque. So while some consume sugar and are fine and others consume fat and are fine (like keto) consuming both is a recipe for disaster.
"Low Carb Down Under" has a great vid on this called lab results on keto. Atleast something like that.
Are you referring to APO B and APO A1? I'm so confused about that number and what it represents.
It goes to show that many of these fats and cholesterol are actually good nutrients when they're undamaged from oxidation.
So eating antioxidant-rich food is I assume a good idea and helps to keep the LDL from oxidizing?
Not sure what you mean by disaster. Mediterranean diet includes fats and carbs but everything is whole and unprocessed and it’s a healthy diet in my opinion. I think whole and unprocessed are the two words that count the most. I am confused about whether dietary saturated fats from dairy and meat are harmful though.
@@Lulu-kt6gr it oxidizes in the presence of glucose. Antioxident foods will help but if you have excessive fat and glucose it's kinda like using a garden hose on a house fire. Eating better fats (non vegetable oils) would be more like having a block house instead of wood.
i'm guessing the disaster comment was to a comment that was deleted. The mediteranian diet is one of the best ones out there, if done properly. Olive oil it tremendously good for you. I drink it straight and cook with avacado oil.
I eat three eggs every morning. And my LDL is SKY HIGH. HOWEVER, my triglycerides are low and HDL is very high. My doctor isn't worried about the LDL because he measured my Good Size LDL(looks fluffy under microscope) and small size LDL(this is what causes clots). LDL is an essential part of many processes in the formation of necessary hormones and cell walls. Ask your doctor about this specific test on your LDL.
Good luck. The balance of scientific evidence doesnt support such hopes for bad habit confirmation. There is not really a major difference of "good" LDL particles sizes. Dr Greger has a detailed video on that.
You are a cholesterol hyperabsorber if LDL and HDL are both very high. See a real lipidologist.
@@xcast1 There is a major difference betweel healthy cholesterol and oxidized cholesterol.
@@letsdrive899 greger is a charlatan.
Sounds like your Doctor is a cholesterol denier(aka conspiracy theorist). I would 100% find a new one. LDL particle size IS NOT a relevant factor, it's a distraction that gets pushed a TON on social media and is going to cost you your health. HDL being high is also not gonna do anything to counteract LDL. Get your ApoB checked if you want a useful metric. If not, LDL by itself still has an incredibly strong correlation with atherosclerotic risk. Particle size tests are just free money for them and mean nothing.
Hi, Dr. Great video. Can you check your info table on risk factors. Should this read Decreased HDL? Thank you.
Roshnee, I thought the same thing; poor wording.
The idea that fat from our ancestral diet - ie meat - is harmful is ridiculous.
The Masai people in Kenya consume almost exclusively blood, meat and milk from pastured cows. No heart disease at all.. what explains this?

I am a child of the 50-60's. Mother a very good cook used Crisco for all her cooking, white sugar too. Pies, cakes, tons of sweets, fried chicken, liver everyone survived and thrived today. Father passed at 90 and mother this year at 98 all her sibling lived long lives. All my siblings still healthy today..... so it really comes down to genes. I am 72 healthy follow a plant based diet.
There was a lot of facts in there. It would be nice if you culd summarize it with a checklist of foods that are okay or not okay.

Is there any evidence that saturated fats (the good ones you mentioned such as butter) increase LDL-c, but not LDL-p, but making LDL particles fluffy?
excellent.. got my sub!
Was with you all the way til you said animal fat is unhealthy, it's only bad when the animals are factory raised and fed grains, when they are raised on a natural diet, like grass fed beef for example, they are the best fats you can consume
Worth reviewing this video at another time. (more than once)
hasn't stearic acid been associated with better heart health and fat loss? grassfed beef is also high in omega3. The fat in bacon is also the same as the fat in olive oil. surprised no mention of this.
is it safe to use coconut oil for frying? or heating coconut oil makes it bad like any other cooking oil?
Since I started an all meat, beef, pork chicken and seafood, most dairy and butter diet, all my inflammation markers have dropped precipitously. I no longer use blood pressure medication, ie..125/72 avg. Joint pain has all but subsided and I eat until I am comfortably stuffed at every meal. Oh by the way, use grass fed and finished beef when you can to get all that nature wants you to have.
A lot of good, useful advice here..
Once you limited your carb intake and use more (healthy, natural) fats, you'll notice that you can feel good for longer times without eating.
Then you notice that intermittent fasting becomes easier, like skipping breakfast.

Products labelled Low Fat usually have added sugars in them like fructose and high fructose corn syrup which puts one at a greater risk for insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. I do not agree on the Low Fat recommendation. We'd rather choose the healthy saturated fats.

Actually smoke point is useless in determining oxidation. Olive oil only oxidates at a higher rate at a temperature above the smoke point. Olive is actually more resistant to heat.
Thank you it's good to know all that information !
Glad it was helpful!
You have a new subscriber sir.
Tons of good info here, but I'd like to share a few *gut* specific things:
1. All saturated fat (including coconut oil and dairy) is capable of causing leaky gut syndrome if consumed in excess
2. Dairy (if eaten in excess) can increase Bilophila levels in the gut, which is not good. Bilophila is a Hydrogen Sulfide producer and can cause unwanted inflammation.
Thank you. This "Butter is Back!" mentality has got to stop. I drastically limited all saturated fat some time ago to address mild arteriosclerosis, but have recently gone 100 percent whole food plant based since learning about the microbiome. "Fiber Fueled" for the win.
@@sectionalsofa I'm a big fan of "everything in moderation." I personally don't think we have to swear anything off 100%, but over-consuming almost anything is asking for trouble. Including butter and coconut oil 😂
@@sectionalsofa Good for me, as there is more butter left. What he has forgotten is, that butter isn´t butter. There is a huge difference if cows eat gras or if they have to eat soy beans and corn. Also they should have enough time under the sky and in the sun, as we humans also should....
@@gutmicrobiomequeen I dont smoke in moderation, no bad things in moderation, in fact no moderation, as i know what is good and bad.
@@gutmicrobiomequeen Check out the American College of Cardiology guideline, you can eat as much saturated fat as you wish, there is no longer any upper defined limit.
In the 1950's scientists studied cardiovascular disease by observing it in chimpanzees. They made the chimps get cardiovascular disease by feeding them large amounts of coconut oil. Many of the chimps developed major arterial blockage in as little as two years. LDL cholesterol is a REQUIREMENT for cardiovascular disease. Smoking, being overweight, diabetes, oxidation, and chronic inflammation exacerbate cardiovascular disease they do not CAUSE it. If LDL cholesterol is low enough you will n to develop cardiovascular disease no matter what. We've know that saturated fat is the principal reason why cardiovascular is the leading disease of over 70 years. In addition it has been proven beyond any doubt that polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats like canola and olive oil are much much healthier than saturated fats. There are mountains of evidence for all of this.
I noted that it was mentioned that saturated fat from meat was not associated with positive health benefits. Was it associated with negative health impacts though ? Would be great to see you debate this with a Carnivore eg Dr Ken Berry about this . I am not a Carnivore myself - but currently on a low carb - high adequate diet ( combined with IF/TRE) with great results .
Humans have been eating red meat for hundreds of thousands of years.... Logic dictates that we are evolved to consume it.
Check out the American College of Cardiology guideline, you can eat as much saturated fat as you wish, there is no longer any upper defined limit.
@@wilsont1010 Yes I agree . After years of avoiding it the doctors I respect on TH-cam have cured my sat fat phobia . I think the Cardiology people slipped that into their guidelines without any fanfare in order to avoid embarrassment.
@@michaeldillon3113 Not for AHA, they are phenomenally shameless.
@@wilsont1010 What I mean to say is that organizations like the AHA have brow beaten the general public via the MSM to avoid sat fats . I have seen no public Mea Culpa - just a quite change to their guidelines .
If you eat saturated fats with leafy greens, fruits, nuts, olive oil, high antioxidant teas, and eat high fiber carbs, you will most likely be fine.
I'm not totally convinced of things when headlines are flashed before my eyes as they were in this video. On the other hand, I'm not inclined to spend my time reading these studies in detail and picking them apart. Some people, like Zoe Harcombe, seem to enjoy doing this and then discovering the fallacies in many of these studies. Doctor Mike Hansen seems to be convinced that some saturated fats are OK but not the ones that come from meat. Maybe the papers that suggest that meat-based saturated fat is bad have a hidden agenda and an anti-meat bias from how they were funded, or from the bias of the author. I think Dr. Mike Hansen is mostly "anti-meat" himself, so his videos will typically have that sort of slant. My suspicion is that with time we will learn that saturated fat from meat is perfectly fine. [Some of the comments below certainly support that].
good video!
Studies show that saturated fats have different impacts depending on source.
Saturated fat from red meat increases risk of heart disease while saturated fat from something like yogurt has been shown to decrease heart disease
What about non-corn fed pork and beef? I would imagine that saturated fat profile as well as omega 3 profile to be much different in that meat.
I'm eating to live. All your recommendations will be applied to my diet. It's just a smart thing to do.
It's bad that researchers haven't been honest with us. They refuse to publish studies which cast doubt on widely accepted but not necessarily correct beliefs.
This video should have started at 8:45, as far actionable health advice goes.
It was already evident more than twenty years ago, to those like myself who were paying attention, that high-fat dairy, for those who are not lactose-intolerant, is heart healthy while low-fat dairy led to higher rates of CHD. Most people still today opt for low-fat dairy products because neither the media nor their doctors tell them the truth.
The structure at 7:49 is a random ester lmao
You actually can’t accidentally create trans fats when heating cooking oils. It’s not just the heat but high pressure is also needed.
Hello doctor, is it good to cook with pork fat? Many doctors are recommending it. I would like to know your opinion. thank you
I am trying to get over to ketones. Therefore, my fat intake is climbing. I make my kifer with raw whole milk. I very rarely drank with in my 60+ years until now. Always had total cholesterol. I am waiting for my next blood test.
Fiber (inuline and propionate) is converted into these saturated fatty acids tho. So you dont need to do dairy, you could eat fiber. Both work
Excellent information. I’m sending this to my family (good luck 😳) and other fat free diet fans. I’m a very healthy and active 72 year old female with lipid readings always over 300. (302 currently) Don’t drink or take any drugs. I love foamed goat milk in my decaf coffee, so satisfying. I’m 5’4” and weigh 128 lbs. My CAC score (recently) is 0. I eat full fat homemade meals. I listen to your videos because you give current and detailed information I can work with. Thank you.💙🌷😬
That’s right Dr., not all saturated fat are equal even for a piece of meat from the same cut. A 100% grass fed beef vs grain fed beef is also different. Same goes for chicken that’s pasture raised vs factory farm raised. Most meat we can easily get from grocery shops are not good.
Curious as to how the sat. fat differs between, say, grass-fed and grain-fed beef. This video seems to make clear that each type of sat. fat is a specific chemical indicated by its chemical structure. Do grass- and grain-fed beef have different types of sat. fat in this sense?
Maybe the antioxidants from the grass create a healthier meat. Surely eating grain laden with pesticides can’t be a good thing.
No worse than the glysophate veg s
I have to say that I am totally impressed with this video. I came to this video by accident. "Or was it." So, I have to say the one in think that I bought that I thought was the best. I bought an air fryer. So, I don't you oil anymore. I do love my season fries. Thank GOD without oil. I have never had a weight problem, and I hope you all forgive me, but I could never get over 165 pounds. I got into bodybuilding. and I still could not get over. Back then I could eat almost anything. Now that I am 56, I have learned to listen to my body. I no longer eat deserts. I used to eat a bag of sweet cookies in a 20 min sitting. Now I can't do that. So, if I bay a bag of cookies (which I don't do now). My body will let me eat to cause I guess need the sugar at that time. Then after 2 or 3 cookies my mind or body tells me to stop. Why this happen I don't know. But I will continue to listen to what my body tells me.
P.S. Please forgive me I forgot to add that I also take my vitamins. I think that is very important.
My forward thinking doc said to lower saturated fat. I ignore her. I consume EVOO and extra virgin coconut oil in moderation and beef in moderation. That along with no processed foods, low carb and intermittant fasting. I've been able to very slowly lower my weight and not feel insanely hungry all the time. Walking and biking also help overall.
Never blame yourself for the wrong information that was promoted(and is still promoted). Make the change now and be patient. Results will come.
It’s dam confusing
Doctor are there long term and short term side effects of CBD and CBD like drugs
I would appreciate a more detailed definition of what constitutes “processed food.” There are different types of processing that food undergoes. At the extreme, I think I know what you mean by highly processed foods. However, not all processing is equal. It would help to eliminate some confusion if you would be more rigorous in using the term.
Pretty much everything what you buy in Cans, Bags, boxes, bottles ... or the fast food takeout counter.
Very little that you buy on the perimeter of your supermarket.
Look how the food is produced. Processed foods are anything in a package. Take seed oils. They would not be possible to make without a chemical refinery and are far from what natural seed oils are like.
@@gregkenning9238 canned foods can be processed or unprocessed. It’s not the canning of food that makes it processed. If you’re buying a can of organic whole kidney beans you’re fine. A can of Hormel chili however, is a different thing. Reading labels is crucial.
A simple. short reply: eat what your great grand parents ate...
Another one: stay away from anything with an ingredients list longer than 5 items...
Or: stay away from anything that contains MSG, items ending on -ose, -ide, -ame, that doesn't contain words like modified, hardened, hydrogenated, etc.
From literature:
A practical way to identify an ultra-processed product is to check to see if its list of ingredients contains at least one item characteristic of the NOVA ultra-processed food group, which is to say, either food substances never or rarely used in kitchens (such as high-fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated or interesterified oils, and hydrolysed proteins), or classes of additives designed to make the final product palatable or more appealing (such as flavours, flavour enhancers, colours, emulsifiers, emulsifying salts, sweeteners, thickeners, and anti-foaming, bulking, carbonating, foaming, gelling and glazing agents).
Should we replace butter with coconut oil?
Too much chemistry. Seems to be in conflict with the American College of Cardiology that saturated fats are not linked to cardiovascular disease
I love your channel. I would graciously like to ask that you do a video on statins. What is your opinion of them? I see expert opinions that say they are not good for you. The brain needs cholesterol to function properly. In addition the Mevalonate Pathway is blocked by statins just before cholesterol production which also blocks the production of enzyme CoQ10. Sounds like a formula for mitochondrial dysfunction.
They are also related to the development of dementia .
LDL isn't bad. Look at the minnesota coronary study. Unsaturated fats did decrease cholesterol, but increased overall mortality.
Saturated fat lowers long-term LDL but raises short-term LDL.
ok, so triglycerides are supposed to be bad, but what about medium chain triglyceride oil that everyone is taking. What about MCT with odd chain length fatty acids?
I'm totally confused by this topic since half the doctors and researchers I've watched say one thing and the other half say the opposite. You'd think harvard medical would know what's true and they aren't keen on saturated fat.
I think it's more like 80% agree saturated fats are bad, and the other 20% disagree. My take is: I'll go with the majority: saturated fats are bad.
@@marting.9613 I find it remarkable that this hasn't been resolved. My guess is that most studies are done with the aim of proving one thing or the other for reasons that have nothing to do with truth. Sometimes a company will commission a study (like Coca-cola) and if the results go the other way, they just bury them. I still don't know how much to trust the current analysis. What I will say is I've tried both Keto and Carnivore and never felt better.
Is MCT oil a safe saturated fat for heart attack survivors?
In india, HARYANA state we consume lot of dairy products like curd, milk, cottage cheese, buttermilk, DESI GHEE predominantly(Clarified Butter) made of buffalo milk and we haryanvis are known to fetch more international medals than rest of states and being more healthier and muscular than others.
Hello Dr Mike Hanson. I've just watched your fascinating video. If your advice is adopted by your followers you may save many lives! My question concerns the Swedish study which revealed whole milk contained approximately 2.7% of trans fatty acids. Do you think this amount of trans fat negates the positive effects of butyric acid and pentadecanoic acid?
If it's in a natural food like milk or meat, it's not harmful.
As incorrect as it is to presume all LDLs are bad, or all saturated fat is bad, it's also just as bad to presume even-chain saturated fats are flat out 'unhealthy' when the total system can effect how they are processed. There is of course the study on very long lived Okinawans who were eating tons of pork. Basically... This is all complicated.
If the healthy saturated fats found in dairy only occur in small amounts and alongside the unhealthy saturated fats, then presumably the net health effects of eating dairy would still be negative.
I have some kind of metabolic disease going on. I am skinny fat. All my weight goes to belly. When i have saturated fats - cheese, butter, cream, MCT, coconut - my morning blood sugar is sky high. I eat mostly OMAD, lean meat, olive oil, no carbs or very small veggie. If i have zero carbs for a week, my morning blood sugar is 90-105. The moment i have any saturated fats my morning blood sugar rockets to 115+. If I have any veggies, my all day blood sugar will be north of 115. ACV will sometimes drop it 10 points in an hour. I do not feel good with no carb! Ketone (usually in the 2+range) do not give me abundance of energy. I am battling very low energy.
Drs know sod all about nutrition. When it comes to that subject, I usually ignore them.
DO A VIDEO ON MCT OIL IF YOU HAVE NOT PLEASE.
I am 6' and 240lbs, so definitely overweight, but when my doctors do blood tests they always comment on how great my numbers are. They ask what I eat, to which I reply, cheeseburgers, butter, sour cream and chicken and no vegetables. So why are my LDL numbers always so low???
Does anyone have references for the study referenced here?
Some of the worst fats are unsaturated. Trans fats and high omega 6 fats from seed oils. They're also prone to oxidation.
If anything, I see saturated fat as safer. Sure you need some level of Omega 3 and 6 unsaturated fats, natural whole foods are best.
Trans fats are actually saturated fats. Saturated fats are solid at room temperature. They start as unsaturated fats, and are turned into saturated fats by hydrogenating them. They are the worst kind of fats, and have the worst health outcomes.
I used to believe omega 6 fats were inflammatory. There's been dozens of randomized controlled trials testing that, and every one has shown that inflammation actually goes down or stays neutral.
Saturated fats, if they exceed 10% of calories, result in a sharp increase in cardiovascular disease. When replaced with unsaturated fats, all kinds, or whole plants, CVD goes down sharply. When replaced with refined carbs, it stays about the same.
@@jeffreyjohnson7359 Transfats are monounsaturated fats with the carbon-carbon double bond in the trans configuration. Saturated fats have only single bonds along the main carbon chain and do not have a trans variant. Watch some videos on organic chemistry so you get a better understanding.
@@henrytang2203
You are correct! Thanks for the correction.
@Jeffrey Johnson All good. There's a lot of misinfo about nutrition out there, definitely helps to dive into the science behind it.
@@henrytang2203
It doesn't change the evidence about sat fats though. CVD risk jumps up at around 8-10% of total calories, then levels off at about 12%, and stays higher. Below that threshold, it's fine. Trans fats are worse, I think the threshold for risk is about 1% of calories. And refined carbs are about the same. I would call refined carbs a much bigger problem, because they make up about 45-50% of the American diet, sat fats about 10%.
Refined coconut oil smoking point is the highest at 400 deg Centigrade
Hi Dr. Mike, I’m using Lactaid milk because my stomach can’t take regular milk, What’s the difference between the regular milk and lactose free milk besides being a lactose free? Is there a better benefits by taking lactose free? Thanks.
