I watched her video and then watched this one. My conclusion: if I had such a terrible disease, I would definitely try everything, including a vegan diet and a carnivore diet.
this
I think for some vegan will work if dairy is your issue, it's a common allergen. But if you're also sensitive to gluten, then vegan isn't going to do it unless you know that and cut it out too. I think that's why so many have success with carnivore because you can more easily feel full but it seems to give the gut a rest and reset. Fibre can be problem for some. Hopefully they can add back plants after a time to heal. Sugar and metabolic disease is often fuelling health issues and vegan doesn't cut sugar. I think the beef salt one is just the simplest and so getting success. It's zero FODMAP too.
For anyone suffering, I hope you find the best path for you. Hopefully it's the one that doesn't cause animal suffering, but if it is then hopefully it's something you only need short term.
20 years ago a vegan friend resolved a severe intestinal issue they developed with a special diet that included meat and excluded many plants, fortunately, he didn't have to stick to the diet long-term, but it did work. I didn't understand it at the time, but it makes sense to me now. The doctors wanted to put him on medication and said it would be for life, it almost broke up his relationship because he didn't want to have children because the long-term health outlook was poor. He's got two gorgeous healthy kids now.
I'd definitely try any diet!
I really sympathise with her. It's hard enough trying to work out which foods work for us just for things like satiety and energy, but she really went through hell and the business of trying to work out which foods were causing it, on top of the basic suffering, sounds excruciating.
yeah, I’ve known people allergic to nearly everything and I would go to great extremes of every diet just to find a cure. : ( Her face looked like an allergic mouth breathing phenotype from her earlier days, so I suspect she’s had some cosmetic work done to look more healthy.
@@bee_bee3 this is ridiculous. You can certainly have a vegan diet within safe parameters. You don't need meat to cure anything at all. The best medicine in the form of food, is whole food, plant based food.
Meat is harmful to the body, it increases your mortality rate. Saturated fat is not good for the human body.
Her diet program is 600$? And there's only 2 foods you are allowed to eat? How hard can this be to figure out for yourself if it's such a great diet
Proof there’s a lot of suckers out there
Damn, I feel dumb that this didn't occur to me immediately... lol. So fucking sad
It's expensive because it's meant for dumb people.
@@vietnamd0820 Cruel ones at that.🌱
Oh, but its ”science”. 😂
I'm a longtime vegan (more than 10 years now) and I just had major surgery - and afterwards had a horrific food allergic reaction. A quick google search revealed that many people have that after surgery. She mentioned 2 major surgeries... so that is possibly part of the equation here - surgery is a big hit for the microbiome...
Most fruits and vegetables have anti-nutrients and trace amounts of toxic compounds that become lethal at high doses, and are damaging when consumed over large periods of time. You need to consider that in the absence of butter, milk or any natural animal fat, most vegan food will almost always contain some form of highly-processed and unnatural vegetable oil(s). Due to the intense nature of refinement (which includes but is not limited to heating the oil to extreme temperatures), the oils become highly unbalanced with their fatty acids profile (namely, a very high amount of omega-6) and this throws the omega 6: omega 3 ratios in our bodies completely out of whack.
Trace amounts on an infrequent basis would not harm most people and our bodies could process it, but this toxic oil is EVERYWHERE. Seriously, look it up next time you're at a supermarket. When consumed even in small amounts over a long period of time, it results in a myriad of ailments such as obesity, T2DM, hypertension, heart disease (which was virtually unknown in a time when humans exclusively ate animal fat/protein), depression and a plethora of auto-immune conditions. The literature does not lie - the increase in metabolic diseases directly co-incides with the advent of refined vegetable oil and the rise in popularity of high carb/low fat diets. Refined vegetable oils and high carb/low fat foods are synonymous with vegan diets.
The reality is this - vegans calling the stories about a carnivore diet, or even low-carb omnivore diet for that matter, "anecdotal nonsense" is no more nonsense than hearing vegans talk about how their diet is the optimal human diet. Why do you think so many long-term vegans return to including animal protein in their diets?
you misunderstand me in your zeal@@DV-zv4ox
@@DV-zv4ox first. WFPB does not include highly refined oil. It does not include pre prepared meals where plant oils have been over heated. Many foods in a typical omnivore diet do.
Second. Refined sugar, red meat and dairy strips away your guts ability to slow down absorption. That is why most vegans do not have diabetes and don’t have problems with carbohydrates. The fibre is part of our natural defences.
Third. A complex diet builds up a complex biome. Many of these so called toxic plant chemicals are needed in small amounts. We have gut bacteria that convert many of them into important chemicals that our immune system needs. One of those chemicals we need protects our gut from colon cancer. That is one of several reasons red meat eaters are highly prone to colorectal cancer.
Fourth. There are many examples of a wide variety of nutrients being required for good health. Two examples. Arsenic deficiency is a recognised illness, we do get the traces we need in a varied diet. Seed eating birds are often seen eating small amounts of lichen, birds have learnt that tiny amounts of chemicals in the lichen keeps their gut healthy, some of those chemicals are toxic in large amounts.
Fifth. Many illnesses triggered by lack of fibre, photochemical sand other plant derived nutrients do not show up for years.
Good luck to the meat, salt and water eaters. The stink in the bathroom must be awful. Cardiovascular disease may be slow to develop, but it can come on very suddenly, high LDL is like falling of a tall building, it isn’t the fall that kills you, but the sudden stop at the bottom. But that may not be a worry, your kidneys may stop working first, you are making them work so very very hard.
@@DV-zv4ox Huh?
You say that most vegan food will "almost always contain some form of highly-processed and unnatural vegetable oil(s)". On what planet?
Neither fruits nor vegetables nor legumes nor nuts nor seeds nor whole grains nor herbs or spices contain any of those.
Also, there are quite healthy vegan oils - all of them healthier than any form of animal fat.
Obviously you can add too much oil to any dish, and you can overheat any oil (though refined oils are better at withstanding higher temps). Heck, a lot of people fry their steaks in such oils.
If you don't get enough omega-3 then you're in luck: there are good and cheap vegan sources of omega-3.
You keep on saying that toxic oils is everywhere. It's in none of the foods listed above. Also, where is the evidence for the toxicity?
I've cooked/fried with a quality refined rapeseed oil for decades and I'm neither obese nor do I suffer from chronic inflammation or any other of the diseases you listed. Same goes for the rest of my family and my parents. Such oils do not contain trans fats and do not turn into toxic substances when used in normal cooking.
You keep on mentioning studies, but what the studies show is that when you replace saturated animal fat with good unsaturated vegan fats the health issues go down, not up.
You say that "the literature does not lie - the increase in metabolic diseases directly co-incides with the advent of refined vegetable oil". You mean just like the demise of pirates coincides with global warming? A number of things coincide with the increase in metabolic disease. Yeah, the literature does not lie: there is no demonstrated causal relationship.
If anything I'd guess that the increase of metabolic disease is caused by the food industry replacing foods with ultra-palatable, ultra-processed edible substances. It doesn't even seem to matter whether those are low carb, high carb, low sugar, high sugar, low fat/oil or high fat/oil. The lack of nutrients, density of calories and addictive features cause people to overeat tons of calories. And there's also the convenience of these edible products. That's why nowadays the average American gets the vast majority of his/her calories from such crap instead of actual food.
I've never heard that refined vegetables oils are synonymous with vegan diets. Meat eaters, on average, eat lots of vegetable oils and have high omega-3 to 6 imbalance.
Now I'm not a vegan, but you should educate yourself some more by actually doing research in science journals and not by watching pre-filtered, biased YT videos that an algorithm spit out because it's in your bubble. Why do many vegans return to eating meat? Well, science says none of the reasons you listed.
Among the main reasons are social stigma and pressures, which over the years can become overwhelming. For those growing up, in a lot of families it is virtually impossible to even go vegan consistently. Heck, even total strangers give vegans a strange look as if they were lepers. A lot of people are useful idiots to the meat industry.
@@DV-zv4oxeh, nobody is forcing yoh consume vegan junk food or oils.....
I posted a very respectful and brief comment stating that the Carnivore diet has been incredibly beneficial to me. It was taken down almost immediately. There seems to be no arena for intelligent discussion left. Intolerance and close mindedness are not beneficial to anyone.
HI. Could you please repost this ? Was this really taken down?
@@xtina3950 Why bother. Will just be taken down again. No studies will ever be done and no large scale data collection will occur because of the dominance of the agricultural companies. The only solution is to wait two generations till it becomes indisputable that Carnivore is the optimal way of eating as they all live much longer lives and avoid all the auto immune diseases that are plaguing the Western World due to plant based toxins. We took a wrong turn with the Agricultural Revolution and the king has no clothes on is preventing the scientific community from acknowledging the horrible place the modern plant based diets have brought us to.
@@alpinecalm5502 if 7.7 billion humans eat a strict carnivore diet we're going to run out of ressources way before 2 generations... It's also interesting you claim that health issues in the western world are caused by "plant based toxins" when Asian people eat significantly more plants than the average westerner. I'm happy you found a diet that works for you though.
@@pomberry3591 I eat less meat than I did when I was eating a standard diet. I am able to subsist off less calories because my nutrient uptake is much more efficient. There is no way to justify mono cropping as better for humanity than sustainable free range livestock and animal husbandry. Take a field with animals and many species of plants then strip it of all living organisms, douse it with pesticides non stop and plant one, just one, crop on it; soy, wheat: corn whatever with zero bio diversity. How is that possibly better for humanity and the environment? Change your paradigm. Be open to new ideas. Stop the old thinking. The longest lived Asian population is in Hong Kong which has the highest meat intake. Check it out.
@@alpinecalm5502 source for your Hong Kong stats? The longest living Asian population I found is the Okinawans and they eat very little animal products. Besides, your original comment wasn't about longivity, it was about autoimmune disease which are more common in the west than in Asia. I am also absolutely not advocating for monocrop agriculture, the vast majority of soy we grow at the moment is used for animal feed. As for pasture raised animals, there isn't enough land for that. I'm from Canada, how do you propose we feed cattle half the year when the pastures are frozen over? I'm very open to new ideas, unfortunately unless we shift to lab grown meat I don't see how it is realistically possible to feed all of humanity on a pure carnivore diet.
Hi Mike. I just want to take this opportunity to congratulate you on finishing your Masters. I've been with you from the start of your channel. I'm so proud of you and grateful for your support of Food Truth.
It worked for her and numerous others. There are numerous doctors that back her up. Don’t see where it is a problem. She had serious health issues and went to all the conventional doctors and nothing worked. She took a desperate attempt at a rarified diet and it worked.
Rogan fanboys who troll vegan pages 24/7 like their lives depend on it: *exist in the thousands*
That guy: Pfff nobody’s going to spend 30min trolling.
To my understanding and what I see on her website (lion diet), she actually gives away all the information and I don’t see where we can sign up for the $600 program of hers. It would be weird for her to even charge that much because she keeps saying in all videos what she eats on a daily basis. There’s obviously some people who are that dumb to really think there’s such a program.
I have also not found it anywhere. Even checked the way back machine. As this information is at the beginning of the video, it makes me doubt everything author is saying. Seems a bit bias against her...
@@Weweraq If a content creator starts with a particular bias you can expect them to be heavily invested in guarding their narrative and in this case stating there is a $600 cost for a non-existent diet plan fits the requirement. On the other hand, other content creators guarding their chosen narrative suffer from data bias too so a balanced view would require us to accept that as a given and govern ourselves accordingly. In the end it comes down to try it and see, Should the world go to hell in a handbasket and our species is pushed to survive, the carnivores will out-survive the vegans because they can eat everything the vegans can and if push comes to shove they can eat the vegans.
She used to have some kind of 600 dollar diet/ carnivore consulting thing. I'm assuming she got rid of it because of backlash. But it did exist you can find it online
Sooo glad you are reacting to this
Would love to see Vegan content from you. X
@@vegangames3468 what do you mean? All the products she promotes/talks about are cruelty free and vegan
@@cmntr_ she’s needs to talk about the ethics of Veganism. Not just products that are Vegan.
@@vegangames3468 go beyond the occasional "no animals were harmed for this product"? I think it's cool that she talks about things being vegan & cruelty free all the time, it's a kind yet nudging reminder. Not to say ethics isn't her area of expertise, but I think her strengths lie in dermatology and skincare. For ethical content I go to cosmic skeptic, ed winters and the likes. Maybe she could do an introductory video on animal testing and ways to identify cruelty free and vegan products. After all, many turn to her and all the derms on youtube because they are the experts on all things dermatology/skincare and finding out which issues they have and what products and habits work for them can be overwhelming all on its own.
@@cmntr_ ✌🏾
Story-time... 😅 Mid to late 90's I developed allergies to certain animals, certain foods and pollen. Then it was goitre and hypothyroidism. Then early 2000 I was diagnosed with the auto-immune disease Multiple sclerosis.Yep. Fun times, especially for someone in his early 20's... In 2005, I went vegan, for the animals - tbh I did not care or know anything about food/health back then and the internet wasn't exactly what it is today.
Long story short, all symtoms went away, I'm off all meds, I haven't even taken as much as an aspirin in over a decade. My neurologist smiled when I mentioned a connection between food and MS - and still wanted me back on meds - even though I've been symtom-free for years! Anyone surprised?
I have two older sisters, healthy BMI, but both in poor health otherwise. One has hypothyroidism and other health problems, one realed to the heart, the other has a pretty severe case of rheumatoid arthritis among other things.
I know it's just an anecdote, so take it for what you will. But I find it interesting that out of three siblings, I'm the one in remission, symptom free, cured, or whatever you want to call it. Epigenetics, anyone? During my around 16 years as vegan, I've encountered several similar stories. Some are just anecdotes, but some, unlike Peterson's, are supported by science. So there's that.
Back then processed food wasn't a thing, and I think that helped me. Remember that a "vegan diet" will only tell someone what you're *not* eating, not what you're actually eating. Oreos and French fries can be vegan, but it will obviously not improve your health.
Oh and btw, my food is anything but "dull as hell"! 😎
Thanks for the video, Mic! ✌
Edit: removed the part about my brother-in-law, that's not what this post was supposed to be about.
My relatives are all overweight and sick with chronic diseases- high cholesterol, diabetes, arthritis, gout, angina etc. Same genes and everything is ok except hypothyroid from 50 years of meat and dairy. But I am just an anecdote
Oh that sounds cool. For once I reached Remission for 15 months. But I overthrew it with my stressful life XD. How to you think the vegan diet works stopping MS?
@@omarkul5320 Any damage done is already done and can't be reversed. But a no oil vegan diet can put MS into remission. Dr Swank successfully helped MS patients but you have to keep saturated fat very low. I think it's 10 g a day, and a little sat fat is in plant foods like nuts, avocadoes, so it really means avoid free oil and limit high fat plant foods. No processed food. Look up Dr John McDougall success stories, there is a woman who talks about her MS
@@ErikaTi wtf is Matt Monarch? Clearly an idiot if he is blaming gods in the sky. Go pray to the gods for your salvation
@@ErikaTi Why? Well, I looked him up and he had colitis, which can be caused by infections. OP mentioned colon cancer and we know the risk of colon cancer is increased by red meat and other processed animal products.
He’s aslo a Raw foodist and many of them are absolute whack jobs, following a woo woo diet. Heard of the ones doing urine therapy or garlic or turpentine enemas etc? Like that Tristan dude? Yeah, these people are often the ones you find among the “ex-vegans”. But vegans are not immune to disease, but it can reverse, protect and reduce the risk of certain diseases.
Her video is mainly a testimony with a polite request at the end to get the medical community to have more studies in that matter. Not in one moments she says, "Do this and you'll get this". I've watched many TedX talks and many of them are just personal experiences that should be shared to inspire and to question things. It's a shame they didn't back up from their decision.
Exactly. Most of the comments here are basically, "How she resolved her crippling health issues is utter BS. She should have gone vegan." I am carnivore, but if someone resolves their health issues going vegan, great. If someone resolves their health issues going carnivore, great. People who reject all other alternative diets that actually help people heal except their own come off as religious fanatics.
I was a vegetarian 15yrs vegan-2yrs. All whole food, no junk or processed. 5 years ago my body was in decline. I was in my 60’s, tired, gaining weight and always hungry. I did a 180 with a keto lifestyle and sometimes today I only eat meat and eggs. I feel much better and lost the 15 lbs. Personally, i feel the body responds well to radical change. Diet is not a religion. Don’t become overly dogmatic .. Experiment. Switch it up. Don’t eat processed food and keep your mind OPEN!
@@johnow7 this is well said
I’ll stick with Carnivore
On the lyin diet website it says you re-introduce plant foods after 6 weeks & also one of the steps of the diet is that you stop taking any medications. Obviously that could result in harm.
Good stuff mic! Very thorough potential debunk. My first thought was" hormonal fluctuation". And she is not giving any clinical reasons as why that diet would work outside what she has experienced, which could be coincidental or the result of several causes she has not identified.
"re-introduce plant foods after 6 weeks & also one of the steps of the diet is that you stop taking any medications". Didn't work for her, it seems.
I cannot believe she's telling people to stop taking their meds. That's a lawsuit waiting to happen
But “no wheats no sweets” is how I got off medications.
So if you increase those 2 things it will make you more reliant on medications which is what a study is meant to find out.
If Veganism is so powerful, this should not be a factor.
@@lorenbeaulieu2896 Veganism is not a diet, but there are healthy vegan diets that can be very helpful for sick people. Can be personalized for different problems.
That survey study she referenced gathered data from users on the zerocarb subreddit, where you get banned if you say anything negative about meat or positive about plants. The FAQ and section about plants in that subreddit has a lot of dumb stuff in it, might make a good video.
r/carnivore is also an active subreddit.
Reddit, ah yes .. I was banned from posting and my posts deleted bc I had not accumulated sufficient "karma" to state my opinion. Mind you there was no foul language, just my thoughts which ran contrary to the majority of the subs own. Just hilarious! Like being back in grade school.
reddit is one of the worst social media platforms out. So many hateful, sad, weak, losers all in one place. I hate to say losers but really many of these people have given up trying in their lives.
I’ve been on the carnivore diet for 5 months and lost 50 lbs and like watching channels like yours to help me see both sides. This way of eating has helped me deal with food addiction but definitely not something I think to long term. But just forcing myself to be so minimal with food has forced me to deal with my mentality surrounding food. Anyways just wanted to say I enjoy your channel even as someone who currently eats in a carnivore way.
Good stuff
You seem open minded and I respect this but I have to advise you your diet is unsustainable
@@SansPeine I agree which is why I said above that “it’s not something I plan to do in the long term.” But it has helped me loose weight and fix my food addiction in the short term.
@@campfirebrews3576 a study of Oxford Martin School proved we could produce only 7 to 18 grams of meat per day for each person if we used regenerative farming and we all followed a carnivorous diet. Consider also the population is increasing and all the need of water and shelter for cows. Plus the emission of co2 and methane
@@SansPeine Meat consumption and the animal food agriculture is killing our planet
Second, animal food, especially red meat, is harmful to our bodies
Saturated fat is harmful to our bodies
Animal food will increase our cholesterol
The healthier diet is by far a plant based WHOLE FOOD diet.
We don't need animal food for anything but to kill the planet and ourselves
Honestly, I think any diet that improves your baseline of absolute garbage is going to make you feel better. If you went from eating tons of processed highly refined junk food to eating just meat, you're probably gonna feel a lot better than you were feeling before, but that doesn't necessarily mean the diet's good for you
Joe Rogan recently made a clip about pro-red meat and anti-beyond burgers in "The Corporatization of Food". If you want to look at that and make a reply to it that would be interesting to see your point of view.
Ha as is meat isn't corporate. Thanks, I'll check it out.
@@MictheVegan that whole crowd has a boner for the old McDonald had a farm type of meat as if even the most local farmer isn’t involved in some sort of Union or special interest group
I cannot imagine eating only meat (red or otherwise) and feeling good. Not having any fiber? I imagine one would poop once a week? Ick. I do feel terrible for the agony she endured.
@Trapped In The Meatrix it's truly mind boggling
It's insane
It varies from person to person. For example, if my wife eats too much fiber she has anus tearing, hemorrhoids inducing poops once a week (lovely, isn't it?)
On the other hand if she eats no fiber she has small poops daily.
One diet does not fit all, whether Vegan or Carnivore.
@@Mario-forall That's probably indication of some health issue, I'd genuinely consider that and seek medical advice.
The fibre intake of anicent humans were magnitudes higher than most people today. This isn't just about diet, fibre is an integral part of human biology. just like how everyone requires vitamins, or water.
Fibre producers SFCA, which is fuel for immune cells. It's also our primary dietary prebiotic. This is partly why people on keto have poor gut flora.
Fibre slowly the absorption of carbs, helping regulate blood sugar. and low levels of fibre has been shown to reduce levels of tryptophan, the precursor to serotonin.
I can't imagine being happy or energized without carbs, especially potatoes and fruit
Nah, imma stick to my oatmeal with oatmilk with fresh blueberries, strawberries and banana. Don't forget the peanut butter scoop

How about massive anecdotal bias? Complete lack of any actual factual data? Framing a story as having some objective truth to it?

I did a two year carnivore diet experiment, after discovering TH-camrs like Baker and Peterson. There were noticeable benefits at first, the biggest one being able to effortlessly manage my weight without having to count calories anymore.
I thought I had finally found my permanent eating plan but the negatives eventually outweighed the positives for me. I developed hair loss, severe leg cramps, fatigue, mental fog etc. It was also a very expensive way of eating and socially isolating. After realizing that it just wasn’t working for me I went back to a period of SAD eating and subsequent weight gain. I had traded bad for bad.
After discovering the concept of intuitive eating, I slowly rebuilt a healthy relationship with food and that’s led me to adopting a predominantly WFPB style of eating. I’m taking things slowly and don’t know if I’ll ever be completely plant based, but I feel good, my weight is back in the normal BMI range and my blood work panels are good. The carnivore diet may work for some but it didn’t work for me, for the long term.
This is currently me, though I'd never go back to SAD... Now I need to find recipes for all the stuff in the fridge though cause just tossing it seems equally disrespectful though
Good comment. I tried the carnivore diet and got brain fog (never had it in my entire life), low libido, depression and constipation. I'm not saying it won't work for many people, but it didn't work for me. The other point is that a LOT of praise for the carnivore diet is from people who needed to lose weight, and/or were suffering from one autoimmune disease or another. I am not overweight, and I have no autoimmune issues. I was just feeling a bit tired and rundown, and thought I'd try the carnivore diet to see if it gave me more energy. It turns out that I had an endocrine issue (after a lot of investigation), and I'm feeling way better on my "normal" wholefood diet (with carbs), but with particular supplements added to help balance my hormones (boron being a key supplement that really helped me).
We are all different, at particular stages of our life too. I respect anyone who is willing to investigate their own health status to a point they find something that works for them - whatever it may be.
@@futureofmoney3527that's interesting you ate a carnivore diet and got depression. Seems mentally and physically unhealthy to eat that much meat with no carbs. It's hard to use those carbs for general living.
@@A_D624 One part of the equation few talk about is how active they are. I've been active my entire life. My digestion system on carnivore (after 2 whole months before I gave up) really slowed down. I felt that my body wasn't converting food to energy (ATP) very well, resulting in the lethargy and depression.
The other less-talked-about issue is our endocrine system. A typical diet is missing minerals like boron and even taurine (yes, even carnivores will probably not get enough taurine).
People who promote carnivore tend to not realise they are simply eating an elimination diet with high satiation. If their previous diet included an intolerance to one or more foods, they may have developed an auto-immune issue that clears up after they eliminate the food they are intolerant to. The high satiation and simplicity of an all-meat diet means a lot of overweight people many lose that extra weight quite easily. However, it's not one-size-fits-all, and it irks me when people are so dogmatic about carnivore - as if we should all be on it. No. We should be on the most optimal diet for our body, our current health status etc.
Thanks for the response, very insightful @@futureofmoney3527
Many doctors promote carnivore, but many don’t, because if people begin to self heal, then themselves as well as pharmaceuticals lose money, because less people are sick…I did carnivore for a year and lost 70 lbs and my labs all showed lowering of total cholesterol and trans fat, blood sugar improved to normal levels and I stopped needing my medications to control above issues…also my joints didn’t hurt anymore, also cleared up a skin condition I have…lastly, I’m 54 and in better health and mental focus than I can ever remember…may not be for everyone, but works for me, Good Luck 👍

@rambunctiousvegetable Clostridioides difficile, a bacterial infection that occurs in the colon.
I eat plant based, I'm mostly vegan, a carnivore diet sounds incredibly boring and even nauseating to me. However, I don't get the ban from TEDx. Seems like just another example of some "smart" person saying the public is too stupid to make their own diet and health choices. Also, it seems a bit hypocritical for them to post Vegan speakers, but not post Mikhaila's talk. Her talk is mostly about her own experience. Viewers with a brain (that would be all human viewers) can listen to her talk and then look into it more thoroughly if they want to seriously consider such a diet for themselves. Me personally, I am against censorship, and this decision by TEDx smacks of censorship to me.
It's crazy to see how many people worship the Peterson family like Gurus.
So much of it is botted up to look like ground swell. Notice when he went off the map and hid in drug rehab, all the "Jordan Peterson!!!" internet fervor died down instantly. They pay for self promotions on social media for sure.
This is really mean
I once liked peterson by watching some of his videos, but after I started watching many of them, I realized he's just insecure and just has bad conscience with almost no tolerance to other humans and a super-right nut job. He even liked Trump SMH....
I hate them, I truly do.
@@thunderpooch who else do you hate?
One thing Mike forgot was that Soy is actually an allergen and she could've been allergic to both gluten and soy/legumes at the same time. Still a lot of food to eat though after excluding those two.
That's what I was thinking too.
You will run into problems if that is what you call a stable diet.
Soy, gluten, and legumes are not staples of a healthy diet.
@@lorenbeaulieu2896 That's right. All those foods are gut irritants and shouldn't be consumed by humans
@@clampBendersWangdang yep! As well as Canola oil and vegetable oils. I won’t go into anything else as I agree with you right now:)

The ultimate example of anecdotal evidence. Great that you mentioned it as being near the bottom on the pyramid of truth.
Just like the dozens of vegan anecdotes in this comment section, huh?
it's not anecdotal because she fabricates a lot of the story.. an actual account would be fabulous - that's empirical data
@@notyourdad Yeah but those are backed by high quality studies whereas anecdotes for uber atherosclerotic diets like carnivore are backed by nothing else.
@@nafaidni if you consider the studies that back up plant-based diets high quality you don't know what a high quality study is. Those are all based on epidemiology which are just survey based studies and they're correlative and not causal - it's literally the lowest quality study you can make.
Show me a experimental randomized trial that shows that dietary cholesterol or saturated fat causes heart disease or one that shows that plant-based diets reverse heart disease and we can talk. Oh, those don't exist? Cool.
But if you're genuinely interested in the subject of diet and heart disease check out Paul Saladino's recent talk with Tucker Goodrich and Jeff Nobbs and you might find some actual insight based on actual science.
@@notyourdadOh noooo a TH-cam comment section isn’t providing you with all the data? Cry me a river. Are you saying you listen to comment sections instead of studies??

You sure the Petersons aren't on the Snake-Oil Diet?!
Do people just come up with something crazy and controversial for all the attention and debate it brings putting them center stage?
Maybe "greens" is code for pot or peyote
Maybe, just MAYBE... there's a REASON there are several vegan/plant-based Ted Talks and no carnivore ones. Hmmmm....
Ted Talks is in cahoots with Big Broccoli ;-)
There are also dozens of videos about keto and paleo diets in that channel. Also, wether you put vegan, keto or paleo in the YT search bar it can show you videos that don't even agree or fully relate to the thing you wrote. My guess as to why there are more videos about veganism in TEDx is because it includes the moral questions behind it and that naturally brings up more controversy and therefore, more content to talk about.
A number of vegetables are man-made, which I think explains why they are pushed so heavy nowadays. I jumped on the bandwagon because I spend less on food & my shit don't stink. They do make you gain weight just like meat though!

Nice anecdote.
Are you still on a plant based diet ?
Awww that little calf was so cute! 🥰 I needed that. Thanks, Mike, for bringing it back to the truth, as usual.
I think I have been trolling these people with a point you presented:
“Heart disease is nonexistent in carnivores.” Do the math.
I don't know about others, but after I went vegan...I had no more visits to doctors, symptoms never came back and felt more energetic and healthier. That's all I can say.
@Not PC when the world collapse, don't forget that you wouldn't even have meat to eat.
@Not PC even those days during world war, people were still surviving by eating plants. Back then meat was a luxury.
Honestly this is the same for most who are plant based, unfortunately there is so much misinformation (usually originates from meat/dairy industries)and a whole lot of gullible people 🤦🏻♂️
@notpc6981 oh ouch 🤕 please stop the brutality 🤣🤣🤣
Carnists are the equivalent of dietary flat earthers
A good friend died of athlerosclerosis related heart attack. He wasn't even that old, late 30s/early 40s. He was in the process of changing his diet to be more vegan but the damage was already done. People like this don't care who they hurt, thanks for calling them out Mic 💪
was he obese and inactive? people who are a healthy weight and exercise can eat meat and dairy and die at an old age
27otherside27 You are playing the same blame game vegans are spouting around. I am sure your friend's diet is the standard american diet. What is SAD? It is a diet which contains lots of junk foods. What are these junk foods? Some are processed meats like sausages, hams, or corned beef but most of it are from plants which include vegetable oil, sugar, alcohol, bread, pasta, cookies, candies, chips, breakfast cereals, coca cola, etc. Atherosclerosis risk factor is not only from diet but it can be from smoke inhalation, fibrin, and cell deterioration and calcium deposits.
@@dartfather Most of the "plant based foods" you listed are loaded with animal products. And I've never met a vegan who thinks drinking soda is a good idea.
@@IridescentW Nope! Junkfoods are mostly plants either by weight or by calories. Go to mcdonald or pizzahut website and use their nutrition calculator. About 80% of the calories are from plants.
Vegans might not drink coke but when a person gets sick, they blame it ONLY on meat even when that person was drinking cocacola or eating chips a lot. Read the original poster, he is blaming only meat for his friend's death.
@@dartfather Where is that on their website? What do I click on that specifies whether calories are coming from plants or animals? Because if you're looking at ingredient order and overall calories then just speculating... idk how you could ever take your conclusion seriously. Mcdonalds and pizza hut are serving mostly plant based foods? In what country? It's like saying Birdseye is mostly selling animals in their bags of frozen peas. It's just not in line with reality.
No one talking about veganism and health is saying you should drink soda. There's a reason it's wfpb and not "ultra processed plant based." Like I'm not sure where you're getting this idea from that people saying they eat whole foods are advocating for junk food.

Never just outright stop taking them, or you'll have a really, really, really bad time.
What a wonderful class of drugs
I think more research needs to be done on the carnivore diet. It’s certainly not impossible that this diet really can help to reverse autoimmune symptoms. I know most people commenting on here are vegan or pro-vegan, but we have to admit that there are non-vegan diets out there that can help people in various ways. The keto diet, for example, has been proven to mitigate epilepsy symptoms in patients, especially in children. So I think we should be open to the possibility that the carnivore diet may also do a lot of good for some people who are having problems. Again, more research is needed. There are anecdotes supporting pretty much every diet out there, including WHPB vegan, and while certainly not the strongest form of evidence, anecdotes are still a form of evidence that shouldn’t be dismissed. They should rather prompt more study.
I personally believe that this diet has in fact alleviated symptoms for both Mikhaila and Jordan, and I hope more studies come out. Their stories are worth listening to, especially Jordan’s. At the same time, if I were to suddenly develop autoimmune issues, I would definitely do WFPB vegan first before moving on to something as extreme as a purely carnivore diet.
These diets have short term favorable outcomes and then become toxic.
I am waiting for a LONG TERM study to prove keto safety for cardiovascular and lung health. All the positive studies are very short term and are terrible for cholesterol.

Thank you, Mic, for your review of this person's TEDx talk. The internet, in all its manifestations, is the one place where anyone, regardless of knowledge, intelligence or honesty, can make him/herself heard by thousands, if not millions. It might not advance civilization, but it certainly keeps us all busy, watching. And, sometimes, laughing.
The internet in all it's forms, colours, shapes, and sounds is bewildering to me. How did God come up with the intellect that is behind those words? I am pleasantly shocked and I have a mild boner because of your words. Thank you very much him/she them stranger!
Dunno why this poped on my feed but might as well stop in.. What he neglected to talk about in the video if you actually listened to what she said. she started the diet as an elimination diet. then added things back and returned to issues over time. and later on returned to eating meat via elimination. and the diet only works if you eat all parts of the animal. It has been working for her for awhile now. Just like the keto diet was made for people with epilepsy originally. Humans are meant to be omnivores though. cheers
The idiotic thing is you believe him all the studies he used have been proven innaccuratebecause of issues with the diets not being consistent through out most of them.

That’s a bad take. Most diet studies are self reported. You can’t lock people in a building for months and strictly control what they eat. Vegan or carnivore. How do you think vegan studies get their large scale data? It’s people telling their doctors or researchers what they ate.
I feel really bad for what her body went through as a child, but given the extremity and rarity of her conditions it seems so unlikely that a lion diet would be the cure-all for her ailments. Particularly with the side effects of depression, this is something that, from my knowledge, is a mental condition her entire family suffers with, so maybe it's genetic related not diet related? Also, given that her lion diet club requires $600 to join, I can't help but suspect she may be exaggerating her health problems a bit.
I'm incredibly skeptical that's the diet she's actually on. She's lied about the medication and "cures" she's had on this, having to go back to various things again, and her father clearly isn't doing well. I'd wager there has to be a multi vit or something else going on that she's not talking about.
l have a hard time believing she was as depressed as she says. While she was so depressed she had relationships and had a baby... uh no, people seriously depressed don't have much in the way of relationships. The need too much energy.
@@TraceyMush i don't know her and her backstory at all, but I'd just like to remind you that disease isn't black and white-you can have it and manage, you can have it and barely get by... It's the case for a lot of illnesses and it's the case for depression too.
@@TraceyMush that's a bizarre thing to say. When I was at my lowest part of my depression I was in a long term relationship with someone. I could barely get out of bed and they were the one making sure I ate food. Being depressed doesn't mean you can't be in a relationship or have sex or children. That's ridiculous.
I don't like this Peterson woman and she's probably lying about things for financial gain, I don't know. But having a baby and being in a relationship is not evidence of her lying about being depressed.
Yeah I'm sure she just made up that thing about having to have her hip replaced at 17 (or whatever the age was.)

@@sanz7820 I'm personally okay with Jordan Peterson's philosophy about maturity and discipline. About anything else.... it;s a mixed bag with some surprises.
@@sanz7820 well i dont know of her but Jordan Peterson is a right wing psychologist, who is consistently calling out feminists. He is very smart, which makes him win in a lot of those arguments and his thoughts are valid, but he's nitpicking. Imagine Jordan Peterson would see a vegan that says "all humans who eat animals are murderers" and would argue against this and sell it for the "radical veganist view". He does that for feminism. Also he's just a dick in general. He dosen't have a good personality and he is very unkind

@@notyourdad a personal anecdote is invalid only when you're trying to convince an audience of thousands. I don't see how this person is trying to convince anyone that their diet is superior.

Congrats!
My science and experience is a little different.
But I am gout free for 2 yrs, medication free for 2 yrs, and stronger at 200lbs then when I was 250.
I seen all kinds of doctors and most of them told me to eliminate night shade vegetables and meat. So I ate a ton of carbs and got worse and worse. I was faced with a drug I would have to take everyday before I started to investigate.
I cut out most carbs and sugar. Increased my healthy fat and healthy protein. I live by “no wheats, no sweets”.
There is no scientific data paper for “no wheat no sweets” just what I did to change my life around.
I’m not Vegan or Carnivore and am not sure why it has to be one or the other.

@@notyourdad There’s a big difference though when it’s an influencer misleading hundreds of thousands, even up to tens of millions of people. It’s gotten so bad, I’ve seen other Asians advocating for a carnivore diet when their ancestors were anything but (I’m Chinese, which is why it’s unnerving to me). There’s a stark difference between eating simple refined carbs and shit loads of omega 6 and foods with low nutritional value and then switching over to a healthier lifestyle and a somewhat better diet. It doesn’t mean that the diet is the healthiest. This idea is something carnivores and keto advocates don’t get and which is why these influencers are so dangerous. They are misleading upwards of millions of people or maybe even tens of millions into eating a diet that is highly likely to cause them trouble later down the road.
I am a plant based person, no oil -95% of the time- TEDX has bad talks, some are good. Please let everyone have their opinions. I am still having weight problems, yet my friends who eat meat have lost a lot of weight. I am not going back to eating meat. I believe it isn’t good for humans or the world. I also love Jordan Peterson.
If you are having weight problems, it's because you're consuming too many calories. It's easy to do, but diet doesn't matter. You can lose weight on any type of diet if you are consuming fewer calories. Best advice is to get a food scale and weigh your food to determine how any calories you eat in a day (for a week to get a good average) and reduce by a 100 calories or so at a time each month.
Can be irritating, though, and takes some time to get used to, just don't take it to extreme. Some people, once they realize they have been eating 2200 calories, will then drop down to 1800 or lower. This is bad. Yes, you'll loose weight quicker but then you'll platoo on a weight and have to reduce calories again to see a result and that could lead to binge eating and gaining all weight back or yoyo dieting.
U need to reduce ur carbs and sugar to get insulin down to lose weight and not count your calories. As long as ur insulin is up from all the carbs and sugar, you won't lose weight
The study was self reported results? So they didn't actually measure any actual health measures like blood tests?
so the their study is just ... more anecdotical evidence? I actually feel bad for anyone on a carnivore diet it is going to be very damaging to them long term
You should look up a short video called "How sad is it to only eat meat?" - watch that and reconsider if you should feel bad for people eating a carnivore diet.

Thank you. Many people here are really being hypocritical. They're the same kind from the group that shouts "believe all women" and to stop gaslighting us and victim blaming. Yet here is a young woman simply fighting for a life free of pain and noticing significant changes due to her lifestyle choices and this same group is calling her a liar. Some even mocked her diet calling it the "Lying Diet" ...as opposed to Lion. What a non compassionate non empathetic group of sociopaths here. Seriously. They point the finger yet 3 are pointing back at them too. They claim meat heals is all anecdotal yet the comments here are showered with anecdotal evidence of ppl healing their arthritis with vegan diets. This is insane 😳. No wonder ppl call it a cult.
@@chenanigans Actually Jordan isn't just a young woman fighting to live pain free and feeling she has stumbled across the magical cure for all that ails her and is being hounded by militant vegans in the privacy of her own life. Rather she is trying to monetize this diet and turn it into a vehicle to make money, potentially a lot of money. As such it is absolutely fair to examine the evidence supporting her claims. And since most of that evidence is her own personal medical history that she claims tracks almost exactly the diet she is will to let you in on the secrets of for the low, low price of $600, then we are certainly not out of bounds to questions whether any of the anecdotal stories she is telling actually have any science to back them up. And since not only is not only money involved but also potentially the health and well-being of those she is able to convince to follow this all meat diet, it is fair to question whether she is even telling the truth about whether her dietary changes actually correlates at all with changes in her health status or if there were other changes other than her diet in this period that could explain all or part of the changes she saw in her health. Without having had independent medical experts tracking her disease status, dietary pattern and other potential changes to treatment (either added or subtracted) to quantify the amount and timing of changes in her diet and how well those changes correlate with changes to her health and for which there is no other likely explanation, we will never know any of this necessary information from which to judge her claims. As such her story doesn't even rise to the level of single patient case report, let alone any level of evidence necessary to establish a definitive cause and effect between the foods she has chosen to eat and the changes to her health.
As for the anecdotal stories about the positive health effects of a plant based diet by people in the comments to this video, unlike Jordan no one is saying that based on just their story alone, and maybe one or two extremely biased and poorly conducted "studies", that anybody should adopt a plant-based diet. Instead they offer their stories as personal confirmation of what massive amounts of independent peer reviewed research clearly shows.
And the rest of my TL/DR reply in case you have any interest in dialog and understanding.
Researchers going back over a century have conducted thousands of studies that take an unbiased (as humanly possible) approach to looking at how different diets, not just plant-based diets affect human health. These range from very large scale retrospective studies dating back to the 1920s of established populations that have eaten a particular diet for tens to hundreds of generations to relatively small and short term clinical case-control studies and metabolic ward studies to long term prospective studies where the diets and health of a large group of people are tracked over significant periods of time like the Framingham heart study in Framingham Mass which is now tracking a third generation of residents, and the Nurses Health Study which has been tracking the diet and health of 104,000 nurses for 46 years.
The populations studied in the retrospective health studies represent a natural experiment in the long term health implications of specific diets since that those alive in those populations at the time of the study would have eaten a specific and largely unchanged mix and percentage of plant and animal foods from birth. Some populations, like those in warm, wet and fertile portions of Africa, Asia and Central and South America, average 95% and more of their calories from whole plant foods and 5% or less from animal sources. Other populations like the pastoral nomads of Mongolia the Inuit get 90+% of their calories from animal based foods. Other population studies tracked the diet and health of emigrants from between two or three locations with substantially different dietary patterns. The best known of these looked at ethnic Japanese living in Japan, Hawaii and California. These studies are necessary to quantify the effect of genetics being a major driver of disease independent of diet or whether there was some interplay between different genetic backgrounds and diet that means that some genetic populations were "prone" to a given disease while others are genetically "protected". What these immigration studies show is that as an immigrant population adopts the dietary pattern of the surrounding population their disease rates comes to almost exactly equal that of the population as a whole. There are some differences. Like the Japanese appear to have been eating a high sodium diet for a long enough to have accumulated some favorable adaptations that make their blood pressure level slight less sensitive to sodium intake. But a burger and steak loving Japanese-Americans living in California has the same chances of developing the heart disease and cancer as all the other burger and steak loving Californians around them.
The data from those population is absolutely clear, the higher the percentage of calories from whole plant sources, the lower the rates of diseases like cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, most cancers and a number of other diseases, while those diseases are common in populations that are on the opposite end of the spectrum. But that is just correlation, and no matter how strong can not establish cause and effect. But when researchers look for viable biochemical pathways that could lead from different foods to specific disease states, they find them, every time. And then they take those hypotheses resulting from the population studies and potential biochemical pathways into the clinical setting and do case control studies and long term intervention trials to see if there is indeed a cause and effect relationship between the foods consumed and the disease rates, onset ages, and rates of progression of the chronic diseases that are 13 of the top 15 causes of premature death in the US and most of the developed world (the other two are accidents/homicides/suicides and medical errors). And again they find the same thing. The higher percentage of whole plant foods a study group or population consumed, the better are the level of biomarkers for which there is an established cause and effect relationship to chronic diseases, like cholesterol levels, blood pressure, increased insulin resistance and elevated IGF-1 and C-reactive protein levels.
Sometimes in clinical trials where they completely change subjects diet, the changes in disease state can be extremely rapid. A study of lean type II diabetics (so that confounding effects of obesity don't muddy the water) who required insulin injections in addition to the insulin their own bodies were able to make in order to control their blood sugar looked to see what would be the result of putting them on a very high carbohydrate (70%-80%), actually low fat (10%-15%), 100% whole plant diet. All subjects saw the amount of insulin they required drop sharply. Many were able to stop injecting insulin entirely. And it didn't take years to get them to that point, but rather just weeks even days to get them to they no longer needed insulin. One subject went from over 30 units of insulin a day to zero in 16 days. Researchers also see the difference in hard endpoints as well like dramatic reductions in all-cause mortality and premature deaths due to specific diseases like heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, renal failure, and many different autoimmune diseases like Multiple Sclerosis and Lupus. On the opposite end, those consuming high levels of animal based foods see much higher rates of these diseases, with earlier onset, faster progression and higher rates of premature death rates.
So no it is not a cult. It is a significant and happily rising percentage of the population who is willing to accept what the science is saying about the effect of diet on our health. Many, probably more, are also very passionate about humans not continuing to needlessly kill 70 billion land animals a year for food, that are as fully sentient and with all of the same range of pain, fear, pleasure and satisfaction and a host of other emotions as any cat or dog, when humans have no nutritional need to consume a single gram of another being's body. And there many who see that animal agriculture is absolutely destroying our environment and is one of the leading causes of climate change. And I would say that most vegans are highly passionate about all three motivating factors. In addition to all of that most vegans have had to face condemnation and ridiculed, even from our own families and friends, for not joining with them in the cultural norm in this society of enslaving animals in inhumane conditions, killing them in terrifying places that reek of blood, often in incredibly painful ways, all in order to feast on their dead bodies. So when we get together in places, real and virtual, where most of the people there are vegans or at least follow a plant based diet, I think you can see how we might tend to vent a bit and unload some of the pent up hurt and anger in potentially inappropriate ways.

Great job Mic, discrediting someone with no debate!
Then has the nerve to call it science. There is no science here, just 2 opinions.
She doesn't have to convince herself of anything. She lived it. She gave up plants and her health improved immensely. Mic is just pissed because someone has figured out their health problems without eating 2 tons of kale a day.
Not everyone needs science when they are living the experience. But either way go check out dr berry. Why doesn’t mix make any videos towards the mds who actually provide facts?

It's possible there's something that she was eating that was contributing to a leaky gut, which allowed chains of protein to enter her bloodstream. In this case, as long as she doesn't trigger the leaky gut then her all-meat diet might not trigger the autoimmune condition. There have been many cases I've seen of autoimmune conditions being sent into remission with just avoiding processed foods but not meats. To me, it seems like a better solution would be to avoid the type of proteins that trigger the flares, especially if those animal proteins/fats contribute to so many other health problems. Honestly, it might not have even been a leaky gut, but rather, an all-meat diet caused her to not absorb much of anything. Lecithins present naturally in most plant foods help nutrients better get through the gut walls. Too much lecithin in the processed form can cause a leaky gut. Whatever she ate with soy most likely also had added lecithin.
The diet works despite what plant eater boy thinks about it.
No one is saying a carnivore diet is healthy. But some people have found it solves their own specific health problems.
I'm confused. They invited her onto their stage in front of an audience but won't post her video? Do they not know what her talk would even be about before her getting on the stage and taping it....?
Someone complained.
Hmmm....I wonder why?
TEDx platforms come from a site that has prior approval, not based on an individual’s speeches. I did a TEDx talk at my school and didn’t have to submit my speech to anyone. Don’t expect it to be posted to the TH-cam platform either though, haha.
Imagine a hypothetical speech where she gets up and talks about the dangers of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, only to be censored by Ted talks. Later, the CDC pulls Johnson and Johnson from the market.
I get told all the time that I should stop eating WFPB. No thank you, I already had a stroke at 53 and takutsubo syndrome episode. Thank goodness I had a cardiologist who gave me the thumbs up on not having any coronary artery blockages and said to avoid future episodes keep eating the way you do. I don't wanna hear that keto or carnivore diet would be better for me. In what way? I've got a total cholesterol that my NP is jealous of!
Her dad's on the same diet. In the last couple years while he has been on it he has caught COVID (twice!), had both the flu and pneumonia, been holed up in rehab for drug/alcohol addiction, and looks like he age 20 years in 2. Meat kills!
Ah yes, blame the meat for the Benzo addiction - that makes sense :D
@@notyourdad Just pointing out the many physical and psychological health problems this man has had since going carnivore. All while he whines around some airport hotel stage to a fake audience about how he knows what ails humanity and how to cure it.
They are highly toxic inside which is making you sick all the time.
It’s ridiculous to even censor anyone- it’s wrong - everyone has an opinion- if you don’t want to hear it - don’t listen. I can appreciate everyone’s information- what I apply to my own life I’m smart enough to discern what works for me. I’m a plant based believer but I also incorporate different foods that may work for me at different times in my life.
How did this crazy notion arise that a private organization choosing to not use their own private resources to promote a person's message is any way a form of censorship. Only a government entity can censor anybody because only it has the ability to regulate speech and behavior through the force of law. I am assuming you are in the US. If so, read the 1st Amendment to the US Constitution. "CONGRESS shall make no LAW respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press ...".
So just to be clear, a private group can not censor anybody. TEDx is completely free to determine what ideas they choose to help to spread to a wider audience and which they do not. There are many many other ways that Jordan can get her message out. And in fact it sounds like she is getting hundreds of thousands of views of her own copy of the video she made at that TEDx event on her own social media channels. So she is far from being censored even if a private organization like TEDx had the ability to censor anybody. Her complaint isn't that she is being censored. It is that she is unhappy because she wants her ideas to gain additional credence from the good reputation that TEDx has for promoting "ideas worth sharing", and thus by inference that her ideas are "worth sharing". TEDx decided, again as is their right, that her ideas were not "worth sharing", so they didn't
I love how her rebuttal to Olive Wilde for calling out her father was that he had written X amount of research papers and Y amount of citations; however, she feels qualified to give nutritional advice despite no postsecondary education (or at least she's been caught lying about it) with 0 research papers written and 0 citations. Because why? Anecdotal experience and an anti-scientism viewpoint.
That is she made an argument of appeal to authority for him; but when it comes to her diet she makes an argument of appeal to ignorance. I guess we know who has the academic authority in the family, and who has the ...
She said several times that she would like other people to just look into what happened with her and see if it could help other people as well all she did was literally tell her story and what made her feel better but y'all ignore all that right
@@lifeofbeautyk Unethically importuning people to make themselves an experiment on a platform that she's built by creating controversy at TED (following the playbook of her father), when the nutritional research clearly shows it detrimental. @LifeofBeauty, look into the research not a grifter on YT.
It worked for her, so why bash? She doesn't recommend this for everyone. It solved a problem for her and she wanted to let others know. That's it.
Jordan Peterson is worth listening to for his psychology and history content. It's very good and a lot of people will benefit significantly from those messages and knowledge. When he and his daughter step into the health/nutrition world (and also the climate change world) they are vastly uninformed though and severely misguided. They suffer from the intellectual knowledge fallacy that Thomas Sowell is exceptionally famous for pointing out. Intellectuals who know a lot about one topic tend to assume they are also well informed on other topics, despite having not studied them in depth. As a consequences intellectuals tend to speak about things they do not understand or are not informed on as if they are informed on the topic. It is a very unfortunate human psychological flaw.
True
I've tried both vegan and carnivore diet I felt good on both. Now I mix it up some days carnivore, some days vegan, some days keto but every day intermittent fasting. Also only organic food and my meat I try to do only grass fed grass finished organic.

Let me guess:
- She had undiagnosed allergies and food intolerances - for real, get them checked out, especially food intolerances, as they can be genetic.
- She ate ultra processed crap, mostly carbs with added sugar, vegetable oils and other nasty chemical additives
- She had sugary beverages on daily basis - I see this A LOT! People who drink bottled "mineral water" and think it's healthy, when it has like 40g of sugar per 1 L. And then they wonder why they feel so bad...
- All of this caused her to have her illnesses, including inflammation and possibly diabetes
When she went on carnivore diet, she got rid of all of this and she never tried introducing whole food plant based diet foods back. Either because she started beliving in this non-sense diet - that made her feel great, but will cause her harm in long-term - or because she tried to introduce something back (like tons of white potatoes or rice, or whatever food that spikes insulin to high levels and makes you go bonkers), but it made her feel bad so she gave up entirely.
tl;dr She is young, and dumb. And that is fine to some extent, well until you start to spread and share your ignorance with whole world. I mean.. does she really think that the whole world should go on carnivore diet in order to cure all illnesses and feel the best a human can feel? Does any of the carnivore folk even give think about this? Feels to me like they don't... they care only about themselves.
how about actually listening to her before posting a novel. You vegans are not too bright.
Her justification is her own experience.
I think it’s hilarious how people find the vegan style of eating is weird and just eating red meat is.... ok and normal??!!
I would like to go on TEDtalk, and talk about my journey to get sober. I quit drinking 4 months ago completely, and I advocate that nobody should ever quit drinking. It´s been the most horrible 4 months of my life. I get mood swings, my temper is out of conrol. And I actually had more energy when I had a drink every once on a while. Alcohol is good for you. Soberiety sucks!
Maybe you’re self medicating a mood/ mental disorder with alcohol
It seems like an idiotic video attracts the most idiotic commentators.
My brother-in-law was a massive meat eater and now has hemochromatosis. Dangerous levels of iron in the blood. . Too much iron can lead to life-threatening conditions, such as liver disease, heart problems and diabetes.
Veritasium did a video on this comparing keto and vegan diets vegan diets scored better on all Health metrics
Not all people are the same. Vegan may not be for everyone when I was 100% vegan WFPB suffered for it and its definitely not for kids. What works for some may not work for all. They are currently trying to fund a study an actual study on it until then the jury is out. Mic any full vegan studies?
My kid thrived on being vegan
Even Tedx has better standards than Oxford Union
That thing was a train wreck.
"I am a meat eater here to represent the vegan side" *sniffle*
in regards to her saying she cured her depression a couple different times, she also mentioned the doctors suspected she may have bipolar type 2. I have bipolar type 1 and I get really severe depressive episodes too, they're called episodes because they don't last forever. sometimes there are triggers to them starting and ending such as sleep (which is wildly thrown off as a new mom), medication changes (which she also mentioned) and sometimes it's entirely random. depression is horrible and I'm glad it lifted for her regardless, but mood fluctuation is something that just happens in bipolar disorder- especially when unmedicated. people tend to think when you're bipolar you're either manic or depressed all the time, but you absolutely can have long period of stability where you feel completely cured. it's happened to me several times. i hope she gets actual help if she needs it again in the future, the right medication makes a world of difference.
Autoimmune diseases often happen in clusters. Wheat gluten is a major trigger for these, and they do improve or clear up entirely after eliminating the foods the person is sensitive to. This isn't even controversial.
Wheat, rye, barley and oats contain gluten and gliadin.
If you watch dr Gregor and dr Bernard’s ted talk they also come with a warning that you should not take any medical from these doctors talks but that doesn’t stop you using them to back up your claims🤦
This woman and her father are completely crazy. I feel bad for those who listen to these two deranged individuals
I you fast and then eat normally your body will likely protest it. It also happens often when people add new foods to their diet suddenly without getting used to them in small amounts first. Antibiotics kills bad and good bacteria from stomach and intestines. After that all foods can create irritation, bloating, pain, diarrhea and constipation etc.
Eating probiotic foods builds good bacteria in digestive track and adding foods slowly in small portions to diet will usually result in body getting used to them. You may even get rid of food allergies and intolerance to foods by digesting tiny amounts of the food daily and raising the amount slowly.
For many years I ate similarly bad diet than Peterson's because it kept my symptoms and pain away. Eventually I learned to eat natural probiotics and adding new food items very slowly in small amounts.
CON FAKER is one of the worst animal abusers I've seen. People will say anything to justify their bad habits
Yeah we should really excuse our human existence. Eating meat is a "bad habit"! No single civilisation has ever in the history of humanity eaten this jumped up Adventist, diet. We are omnivores. How Idiotic modern life has become and I include myself in this. 16 years eating that vegan diet and thankfully 3 whole years free of it. Mental brainwashing. You are in a cult.
Around 16:40 you say an r value of .1 is perfect. I think you meant to say an r value of 1 is perfect (not 0.1).
Edit: just for other people in case they didn’t know. Positive r values indicate positive correlations (as one variable goes up so does the other variable) and negative r values indicate negative correlations (as one variable goes up, the other goes down). An r value of 0.5 would have the same “strength” as a value of -0.5.
OOOPS, I meant 1.0 obviously. Thanks for catching that!!
Let's look at this from her perspective and not from your self-inflated vegan religious zealot point of view. At a young age she was plagued with illness. She lost 2 joints in the process. Now she feels she's "healthy" and she's a mother and her life is otherwise seemingly "okay" for her. Long story short, let the woman live her life even if her experience is specifically anecdotal. Whether you like it as a vegan or not, no one is forcing meat into your mouth. Whether or not her science is correct, she so far is happier and healthier and not in physical pain. I suppose in the long run, whether or not she self-medicated or not, whether her science is lousy and incorrect or not, whether or not you agree with her diet plan, this is how she is and how her body works. So don't eat like she eats and move on. Remember, George Burns was a cigar smoker all of his adult life and he lived to be 100 years old. Not everyone is born to be a vegan even if that might be what vegans think "Everyone" should be. To be blunt Mic, your comical and mocking tone of voice here is utterly unnecessary. Consider this woman as a young girl being told she will have to have 2 of her joints surgically replaced. And then consider her being an adult woman and having some level of vanity that anyone (man or woman) might have about his or her looks and the concept of losing a joint to a disease one cannot control. Again, you may not like "her diet," but it's what works for her. P.S. One of the worst medical conditions on the planet is being in constant pain from a disease that has no cure or a difficulty in being cured, much less those that can be cured in time. That's why we are having an opiate epidemic worldwide. It's because people are in a lot of physical pain and then become habituated to taking a particular drug to temporarily relieve the pain. I know nothing about this woman's condition, but losing 2 joints to it in one's teenage years is not the same as being a 70- or 80- or 90-year old adult with some form of arthritis. Maybe her life will be shortened because of her diet. We won't know how long she'll live till that time comes and for her, I hope it's a long and healthy, fulfilling, joyful, and productive life. Again, you might not agree with her dietary choices. And I can understand this. And it's a shame that any animal has to suffer at the expense of a human's health. But the world is not a perfect place and it's filled with imperfect people just like you, me, and Mikhaila Peterson.
When she is selling her anecdotal claims that runs counter to actual science for $600 a pop, it is no longer a case of picking on some random person trying to quietly live her life. She is give out information that every bit of high quality science says will harm the health of those who follow her advice. So it is entirely appropriate that her claims be examined and dismissed if found wanting. And since her assertion that others would benefit from an all meat diet are completely based on her own personal disease history and her claims about how going on an all meat diet was the essential factor in her improved health, then it becomes not only fair to explore the veracity of her personal story, but necessary in order to determine if she has a scientific leg to stand on.
@@papparocket , I'll respond in the way I'm often attacked by more liberal thinkers ... "How does what she does affect you?" I don't mind her claims being "examined" and even perhaps "dismissed." I have a problem with Mic's sarcastic zealous tone and I have a problem with what feels like his personal attacks on this woman who has had an extremely tragic disease-filled childhood and has somehow managed to find a diet and quality of life that works for her. Her entire story is anecdotal. She is not selling anything for "$600 a pop" here and never once mentions anything for sale. What she does on the side is her business just like there are other more health-oriented doctors that Dr. Breger dismisses. She is saying things just like if you asked me how I lost weight and I told you what I did, you can either take my experience for what it's worth and use it or you could ignore it. You can't change the veracity of her experience. And if she's encouraging others to try her effort of dealing with her disease by people equally or worse disabled, I haven't a problem with it. Again, whether it's healthy or not, whether it's ethical or moral or not to animals or not, is immaterial to the fact that she tried numerous routes and none worked but her current situation. So, like it or lump it, that's what worked for her and she simply wanted a format to express her experience. "Follow the science" has a nasty habit of changing and we do not know exactly everything about how the human body works, much less each individual's body.
This clown makes me sick- I have auto immune disease. Meneires, Hashimoto’s, arthritis. Since the menopause truck backed over me seven years ago, I have slipped into a deep depression, over 20 pound weight gain, absolutely no focus-terrible brain fog. I’ve tried many commercial diets and have lost 10 pounds over about five weeks, but it’s been absolutely miserable and I gained the way back within three months. I tried this diet 12 days ago. Immediately my focus improved, my brain fog is much better. I’m sleeping better and getting so much more done around my house and at work. I have energy for the first time in years. I’m not depressed anymore, and I have hope. And I lost over 7 pounds. I tried veganism for about three weeks a few years ago and I was freaking miserable. The brain fog was awful and I was freezing cold all the time.
You sound gay. A long comment doesn't mean you made a good point. Mic is far from self inflated.
Her point was very clearly that this ought to be studied more...
Got the feeling that Mikhaila, Shawn Baker etc. will not rest until the controlled trial: of a large number of people with autoimmune diseases being put on either all meat or all whole food plant diets (with perhaps an omnivore, standard diet as the control at least). They'd be then monitored closely in an inpatient setting for the short, medium and long term outcomes afterward by competent medical researchers - for health, and to make sure there's no food cheats.
Frankly (as long as it's lab grown meat, to minimise and spare animal suffering hopefully) I don't have any problems with this actually: if people are willingly volunteering. It might also put to rest whether the claims that people who claim to survive only on meat are lying; and what is happening to their digestive systems, biochemistry, immunology and wellbeing.
This debate is not going to end until this type of trial, published and replicated in a credible scientific journal. I have no interest in following any meat only diet personally, but if people are desperate enough to go to only meat and perceive it works for them, it's going to be hard to debate their personal experience otherwise.
I think it would be a problem to get a green light for a study like that. Because the meat only diet would be considered too dangerous and therefor immoral.
But yeah. I would welcome it.
I agree with you, but agree also with Mariann; guessing that the carni people might be using this exclusion on ethics grounds as a feint.
@@ModernLady if a group of people are already doing this to themselves (or claim they are) as a meat diet, an Ethics board may well consider that background positively, and they have informed consent of what they're doing. It's not (on paper) that different to what the likes of Inuit and other populations have done to survive in harsh environments. (Again, on paper I want to stress: this is not an endorsement of certain Inuit practises).
If you're in an inpatient environment under medical monitoring, also covers potential complications.
People would have to sign disclaimers, but that's common in research trials anyway: for pharmaceuticals, etc.
Would there be ethically then that many issues? Perhaps not as many as might appear, at first glance.
