It’s so rare to see someone admit they were wrong. Pseudoscience aside, I respect it.
Mr. Mercola doesn't deserve any respect for disowning the silly keto diet. He is still a notorious misinformer and anti science twit.
Made $200 million before admitting it.
@DayIntegrity?
@@barrilythe2579 but what about those "miracle covid vacines" that made 100billion dollars so far, since how much money you make compared to how effective a product is as the ruler for "pseudoscience". 100 billion made on pushing something people were told was "100 percent safe and effective" while now saying "The reporting of life-threatening conditions increased over 4,400%. This is a novel increase and was not seen during the 2009 H1N1 vaccination campaign. There is a need for additional unbiased research to better understand the COVID-19 vaccines' short- and long-term effects."
But mercola is "psydoscience"??😅
It’s just pseudoscience rebranding lol
Mercola got A LOT of important info out during the "plandemic" and I respect him for being honest about why keto is not the best diet, given his book was so popular.
Nonsense. Much of the anti-vaxx baloney has been traced to originating from KGB thug Vladimir Putin’s Russia. And the gullible and naive weak minded people like Bobby Kennedy Jr. grab it and run with it.
When you use the term pandemic you reveal your colossal ignorance!!😅
I was keto and I didn't feel well for the 6 months I was on it. Then I went full carnivore and I feel great! I lost 40 pounds in 6 months. I'm 59 and not on any meds and now I can keep up with the grandkids. Never going back to carbs.
Shout out to you commenting here
Same here. Four years canivore, 67 years of age and finally feeling extremely healthy.
Thanks, Mic, for this! I used to follow Dr. Mercola until he interviewed Dr. Michael Greger and my life was forever changed for the better. So Dr. Mercola did have one most valuable video!
Wow! I've never heard of such an unexpected route into (veganism?) a plant based diet!
I have salads growing but hundreds of snails are coming to eat them, should I kill all the animals and have some salads for few days or should I kill one of my grass fed cows and have food for the next 6 months?
I’ve yet to come across anyone who does it better than Dr. Greger. He just sticks to the facts. Everything he sells is non-profit.
@@user-no2mz9hl4fpersonally I would rather look like Dr Anthony Chaffe than look like fat balding Dr Michael Greger. Go eat 🍖 🥓
Hi All, When was the interview between Dr Greger and Dr Mercola?
I'd love to watch it.
Thanks in advance.
Animal fats do NOT clog arteries-old myth!!!
Not a myth, science says so.
Depends what apoe gene a person has, like me with double apoe4, my liver can't clear ldl fast enough, so yes saturated fats is not ok for me, but if you have apoe2 or 3 you should be fine.
Good coverage - appreciated you talking about the ex-keto rug shuffle. Thanks for the shoutout.
You are cited as the source, good find
didn't you swear by the keto diet for a while?
I followed a super low-carb diet for eight months and my body NEVER stopped screaming for carbs. When I did another diet simply counting and reducing calories but included whole food carbs like potatoes and rice, I did not have carb cravings and lost twice as much weight. So kiss my sweet potato!
Do you remember the Blue Zone in which long-lived folks ate a high fat/low carb diet? You can’t because there were none.
Good to hear you lost weight. I kept my weight off, 50 lb of loss, for 6 years on the whole food-plant based diet. I didn't start for weight loss but it happened so easily. It's 80% carbs but I don't track those ratios or try to get some ratio. Good luck to you.
When humans want to do the extreme "diets", other information does not matter.
Its' like a snowball rolling down a hill. When other humans convince them that keto
or carnivore is the only answer, they join the club and fall in line easily.
Its because they never stuffed their health up with western diets.
Yea there is a group of people who eat a high fat meat only diet consisting of whale blubber and they’re just fine. Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Dr Weston A Price might be a great start to your evidence based journey.
I'm so glad that I follow my cardiologist's advice to stay with my WFPB diet. Yes, I had a stroke but it was due to a congenital abnormality. There was no blockage in my coronary arteries and I plan to keep it that way! Keto has always struck me as bs.
I am WFPB also and its the best lifestyle you can make (I don't call it a diet it's a lifestyle) I reversed a 50% arterial blockage. My husband was given 3 years to live with agressive prostate cancer. He didn't opt for conventional treatments changed to a WFPB and he is still alive and healthy at 77 and going on 14 years! I am 77 also.
What is WFPB?
@@Janeway1269 whole foods plant based. No meat, fish, dairy or eggs in our diet.
@@NancySteinVeganChef Thank you. Wasn't sure about the WF.
I have a vegan friend who has been vegan for many years, but he's very overweight and ended up with clogged arteries and a stent in his 40s. I imagine excess belly fat contributes to arteriosclerosis all by itself for a lot of people. Excess white flour and sugar probably don't help either.
@@Janeway1269 being vegan is different then wfpb there is a lot of vegan junk food. Wfpb is a lifestyle eating whole foods, exercise. We eat beans, whole grains, vegetables,fruits, nuts, seeds, pasta, tofu, seitan and lots of greens.
OK, are you SURE the video is sped up and not just him, now on carbs, and his body's not used to all the actual proper fuel he's supposed to be eating and it hasn't compensated yet? 🤔
haha
😅
I picked up a keto cook book once in the past.... every meal said bacon bacon BACON !!! This can no WAY be healthy .... every meal?!?! ...... no sir
I eat bacon and eggs EVERY day. It IS healthy. My doctor and cardiologist agree. I'm 66 and lost 174 pounds going keto and then carnivore (less than 15 grams of carbs daily). My bloodwork is fine.
Mercola is late to the party but better late than never.
I do vegan keto. It’s not hard and it’s REALLY worked for me- gone from fatty liver to the healthiest liver the technician has seen in someone in their fifth decade, have lost over 50 kgs and still reconfiguring my body, have brilliant levels of nutritional and blood markers and am doing better than ever. Vegan keto is absolutely a thing. :)
What do you eat out of interest?
I would also like to know what you eat. It would help me.
@@MrWrightcaroline i eat mostly plant based (protein coming from tofu, tempeh, legumes, nuts etc) and occasionally fish
@@Gronkiy Thankyou
How long did it take you to lose the 50 KG?
He finally finds out lol what a hard way to find out that every carbon based lifeform is made of sugar and the chemical structure of hydrocarbons matters.
that was an uneducated remark. No lifeforms are not made up of sugar. we are made up of fat, cholesterol and proteins/ amino acids. Humans thrive on Carnivore, not Plant Based
So happy to be a high carb low fat vegan whole food plant based 66 year old. Became certified in whole food plant based nutrition and have studied nutrition for 8 years (armchair nutritionist LOL) . Happy that he actually finally realized and is admitting that he was incorrect. So sorry for the people who still believe in restrictive dieting. My husband did keto back when he ate animals. He did lose weight (temporarily) but smelled horrible! Ugh.
Used to follow this guy all the time years ago reading his article. He had the same kinds of articles everyday, Keto, Exercise, Sleep, Intermittent fasting, Vaccines, Benefits of fat. He got old after awhile. Have to hand it to him as a Doctor to come out to the public and actually admit he was wrong. One wonders how many people just like him never admit when they find out they are wrong. Especially people like him with a huge audience. Love his B12 spray. Been using his b12 for years.
PLEASE don't support that jerk!
Youve been being exploited for years 😂
How is his B12 different from other B12 sprays
@@Vscustomprinting yeah I realize that now
@@ASMRyouVEGANyet not sure if his is different or not. When I first went vegan 8 years ago I was reading Mercola articles all the time. I found out he sold B12 and just went with him ever since.
His version is methocobolamin not cynaocolbolamin (I know I spelled both of them wrong)
I remember from 10th grade biology this definition of complex vs simple carbs: Simple carbs are "sugars" and complex carbs are "starches." Hence , according to this definition, fruits are largely simple carbs and white bread is largely complex carbs. I don't understand why almost everyone confuses "refined" carbs with "simple" carbs. OR... am I confused and was my tenth grade education regarding carbohydrates wrong? If there are any nutritional biologists out there let me know.
Worried about Cortisol and endotoxins, extolling simple sugars over complex carbs... sounds like he discovered Ray Peat. A fair number of keto and carnivores have been jumping into the Ray Peat camp lately, I'm not surprised.
I also immediately thought of him, I’ve been seeing more and more people go from “just cut out carbs” to “just follow a peaty diet”
Yes that's it. What does he espouse?
Yup: th-cam.com/video/WyE7kP8NrBI/w-d-xo.html
I don't know this peat guy. But there was a longer version of this video on Red Pill Vegan's channel and Mercola explicitly mentioned that Ray Peat as an influence. So you are spot on.
@@starcatcher3691 He's a fairly eccentric character, an iconoclast, a guy who did "his own research," so he had lots of individual recommendations... He's been around for decades in alternative circles. If you look for "prometabolic" or "bioenergetic," you'll find his more recent army of acolytes. He himself died recently (in his 80s), but his popularity has been rising steadily for the last few years due to influencers.
Your charisma and humor are unique and very likable. You have it my friend!
Another awesome informative and well researched as usual video Mic. I can't understand why anyone would go on a keto diet since there is evidence that came out during the Covid pandemic those on keto diet got the worse symptoms and increased risk of death. Love 🥰 the video.
That is an association, not "evidence" that ketogenic diets caused worse symptoms and mortality. The people who tend to be affected worse by covid are people with poor metabolic health, who are also more likely to start a diet such as keto.
Totally opposite!! Those on Keto had less chance getting infected with Covid. You’ve got the wrong info!
Mercola went to a real doctor and found out he has blocked arteries.
Thinking the same thing, gotta be a health scare behind all this.
I doubt it because he mentioned to Dr Paul Saladino once that he had beta-thalassemia and that no matter what he did, he could never get his cholesterol above 200 mg/dL and that his doctor would always congratulate him for it.
He probably quit keto because of energy issues.
and what is a real doctor exactly?
@@wally6193 md einstein
@@soofitnsexy MDs are just as ignorant as DO's on Nutrition, on average.
Eat your vegetables eat, your eggs, eat good quality meat, 100% Grassfed, no antibiotics and you’ll be fine 👌🏻
Yep
No processed food, refined sugar and seed oils if I may add.
Just plants for me, I'm doing great. Just follow my nutritionist recommendations and the papers I read 💚
@@edgbarra Good luck with that. I would suggest getting an MRI scan for visceral fat and levels of myosteotosis on the muscle in your legs as that is the leading cause of heart disease, stroke and 85% of all disease. Better contact Dr Sean O'Mara so he can set you straight. Sarcopenia and Veganism- bad things come in numbers...
This was so cringey. I wish we had better representatives of the Vegan community than people like this which sprinkle in ad hominem attacks they think are funny.
tbh I'm impressed by that head in the sand graphic. It's pretty well done
Gundry stated a long time ago that the brain needs 70% ketone and 30 % carb/glucose. I listen to my body and eat a high fat and protein diet with carbs. Your body knows. When I lose too much weight I increase my carbs. I'm not quite sure what Mics' whiny voice is really saying. Oh, he's a vegan. I'll continue to eat what my body wants.
One cannot put trust into these "studies", as we never know which one will actually be the truth.
Okay someone chooses to quit keto diet. Then a study on low carb diet is quoted. If we are speaking of a keto diet, the study should be on keto. Keto is short for ketosis, so if you are not in ketosis, you are not on a keto diet.
BINGO. I check my blood for ketones daily. I feel so much better and my labs prove it.
I was on keto for a decade until I got extremely sick and my digestion completely stopped. I do commend Mercola for coming out and saying he was wrong. He could have stayed silent and no one would know. But he's still telling people bad advice!!! He needs to get his facts straight though about the fast carbs and fiber. Wow, he's still off base!
Keto diets are about 20% meat. They are not "Loaded" with meat. Even a vegan can be keto from my understanding.
*Question:* Did you only have an obscure, low quality video, scraped off of social media to substantiate his flip flopped stance? Or do you have something else directly from one of his sanctioned platforms? How do you know this low quality video is even legit? How do you know it's not a deep fake?
He quits after he pocketed a bunch of money though, hmmm
I have been on a vegetarian diet for 35 years and all I know is I have 3-4 days of feeling weak.. and my blood 🩸 glucose is high.. AIC is 6.1… I’m looking at the carnivore diet because all the testimonies are convincing.. plus I’m studying the history of Diabetes.. as soon as insulin was introduced 1921 or so.. Doctors were told to push high carbs because they assumed people would not eat a high fat diet… they assumed wrong for me.. I won’t take their medication.
A friend of mine went on the keto diet and lost a lot of weight - until she went to the doctor and her cholesterol was so high that the dr told her to go off the keto diet and put her on medication
Yikes! How's she doing now?
Oh yes the doctor. Give me a break. The same people that were pushing that we all take a vaccine which absolutely we didn't need.
At least cholesterol is reversible the damage keto does to kidneys is not.
Ugh, and statins are so safe, right? Never heard of a Vegan diet requiring pharma meds but we do have to watch our vitamins, minerals, etc. that won't be well supplied by our diet.
@Trash Panda honestly as a vegan the only supplements I take are b12, D3, magnesium (idk if I really need it just take it because it helps with a few things I've had issues with) and I've just recently added in an algae oil DHA supplement. I feel like everyone needs to take B12. I take D3 because I've been low in it before as I live in the northeastern U.S. and the algae oil is because Dr. Gregor recently talked about how its a good supplement to take.
Im quitting meat and going back to my grain based diet of processed food and seed oil and lots of Mountain Dew and craft beer every evening.
You should have a section called "Mic Check" where you reel in some ridiculous diet claims.
I believe in Keto diet, because it has help me, but part of it. I do keto, but when my body ask for a piece of bread I take it, Normally I eat rice, fruits, but small cuantities. My diet is more greek type.
I am
Not a vegan. But i agree. The issue is these keto people are doing wat too much protien. Turns into sugar
Dr Mercola has helped a lot of people and actually saved them money by saving them trips to the doctor. He has a lot of sound health advice. He is similar to Dr Berg in that regard
Lol. Are you a Bot? He literally just admitted he's been wrong. - Misleading people for years.
@@EternalJourneys wrong about one thing and admitting it takes courage and honor. He has been right on many other things. Also the keto diet is still a good one short term.
@@MusicofDeHaro Courage and honour would be pulling his misleading book off the shelves... which he hasn't
@@EternalJourneys I hear you on that. Maybe he is in the process of doing so.
Everyone. Keto is not high protein like Paleo. True keto is very high fat and very low carbs.
The keto mortality study, could it be that people who get into keto are unhealthy? Because I doubt healthy people would feel the need to make drastic changes to their diets for no reason.
All the social media stuff seems to mostly be created with marketing dollars, not unlike the tobaco campaigns when the lung cancer thing started to get out.
Most people are not at all interested in what research says and only go by heresay in which marketing departments specialise in.
Unironicaly there are studies that illustrate just the above.
I’m a vegan of 13 years and thrive on a higher carb Whole Foods plant based diet but my mom’s A1C ranges from 8-11. Needless to say she’s diabetic and I’m trying to get her off her meds. She’s pretty much plant based but the only foods that don’t spike her blood sugars are lower carb foods. We’re using a lot of nuts and seeds and tiny amounts of lentils.
Dépending on her genetic she have to eat more or less carbs/ meat, there is not perfect diet for all but personalised
He's been so wrong about so many things for so long, in addition to his long history of profiteering (not surprised he's worth all that cash now), so he's one of the worst sources of health information this side of Gundry, BUT he's absolutely right about the superiority of fruit over "complex" carbs! I lived on complex carbs through 14 years of veganism (and creeping weight gain), and it was only when I shifted away from them to SIMPLE carbs in the form of raw fruits and some easily digested raw vegetables that my health went through the stratosphere. I know literally dozens of others who had the same experience. But thanks so much for these vids, Mic, they are very helpful as I work to educate people on the dangers of Keto and other mainstream nonsense. Going to watch your vegan cats and dogs video now! :)
Yeh. All the controversy aside. That absolutely had to hurt for him to publicly do a 180 like that. Difficult to overstate that point. It does speak to his integrity. It doesn’t mean he’s right about everything of course. But it does suggest he has not cynically pushed anything inaccurate, so apparently he believes what he says. That’s something at least.
Hey Mic, I would really love to hear you cite some recent good studies on saturated fat being bad for you, because recently I've found myself reading a bunch of new studies where no health deficit is found from eating it. I constantly hear you say it clogs arteries, so I would love to have those citations on hand. Anyone else reading this too can help :)
It’s possible to find a study showing saturated fat to be neutral, but you have to look into the methodology. For example what was the magnitude of exposure and the contrast between groups.
Go to nutrition facts
Also, who is doing the studies, and what are the methods of testing used for rendering such results? Must read between the lines, and follow the money.
Go eat loads of saturated fat and get your LDL as high as possible. 🤣
I'm with you on this. A debate with Nina Teicholz would be great
You played a CNN clip accusing someone of Covid misinformation?
Lol.
Good luck, kid.
I wonder if a vegan realized eating a vegan diet was unhealthy, would they admit it? All these diets that eliminate food groups is unhealthy in my lowly opinion. Carnivore, vegan, Keto, etc. No one is perfect, even doctors. I never cared for Mecola, but I give him credit for at least trying to right a wrong.
who cars if a vegan would admit to it, you still have to do it.
@@sudd3660 Whatever you say. Too each his own. Meaning, do what you want, but don't tell anyone else what is right for them.
@@sudd3660 Why? I eat meat. You can eat grass.
2:02 It's "fork over" or "cough up." You forked up! 😂
Its all about timing, i wen toff the keto diet and added carbs, but i only eat the carbs once per day. At night about 100-150 grams. So I sleep good and I wake up with full glycogen levels and back in ketosis. Only problem, with adding carbs is it increases my appetite whihc makes it harder to not want more carbs next morning. But mct powder with protein usually fixes that.
Snake oil sales person...people are easily fooled.
Great vid Mike
He also did an interview with Dr. Pam Popper. He’s come around.
It seems odd that Mercola would embrace the outcome of a cohort study like this when he should know it is subject to researcher bias. Randomized controlled trials in large cohorts of humans is the only study worth my time. I tried the Vegan diet once. It was the worst 4 hours of my life!
Nice Mercola admits he misled his followers…. Which is why I don’t believe anyone anymore. I’m vegan for the animals and because it makes me feel good. Period.
LOVE your jokes and truth data!
The dietary advice of Ray Peat, which he was investigating, is pretty solid. Ray Peat is no joke.
Y'all need to read the comments under prominent keto and carnivore youtubers videos. These diets have helped countless people recover health after life long afflictions that were otherwise untreatable.
90% of them is about losing weight
I have better diet, just use electrolytes and water u will lose weight even faster
my electrolytes diet win 🙃
@@lenguyenngoc479 No, they are not mostly weight loss stories. There many more talking about lifelong illnesses that went away when they went carnivore.
@@supercal333 and 80% of the benefits from joint pain to being more energetic is from the weight loss.
not the majority? excuse me? name some conditions and give me links to videos so I can see any other benefits then?
u think I'm blind?
@@supercal333 I did it and so glad I first found Dr. Mercola, then Dr. Ken Berry and Nick Cannon MD. Wow, what a life changer.
I try to eat OMAD + low carb daily. Also workout daily and feel great. Body does not need processed foods.
In the end, they all come to Ray Peat.
Some people may think it’s ok to make fun of people who who are saying they had to stop being vegan or vegetarian, but this is true scientific evidence that proves plant based diets cause human illnesses, diseases, and cancers over time. Vegan and vegetarian diets, any plant based diet, even the current food pyramid that is so plant based heavy, is nothing to joke and tease if someone quits.
You are seeing the truth of why it was designed by 7th Day Adventist Christians- and no- the “save planet” and “save animals” was a scare tactic to get you hooked so you would follow their religious non science based ideology.
7th Day Adventist Christians are not making these plant based diets to make humans healthy, and not to save any animals or the planet. It was to ruin human hormones! Look at human biology- hormones control all in your system and if they get ruined with plant based foods it damages all.
Just to mention a few things that affects. Ladies start to see loss of period, PCOS, cysts, Fibroids in uterus and breast. Irregular periods, severe PMS symptoms before they loose their periods, depression, cancers in breast, uterus, and ovaries, hair loss, weight gain, and so much more that leads into all the illnesses, cancers, and diseases you are seeing today. Men get ED, low testosterone, hair loss, weight gain, depression to just name a few, and all the illnesses, diseases, and cancers like prostate cancer you see today.
Teenagers-plants cause weight gain, pimples, depression, eating disorders, anxiety, leukemia and all other cancers, and all other health issues listed for ladies and men. Br a scientist before making a decision on your health. Do research!
Men and ladies have thyroid issues so body temps ruined, hair loss, weight gain of visceral fats that lead to all problems you see today-and all illnesses, diseases, and cancers seen today. Did you know there are this obese humans called “invisible obese,” also called “Tofi” humans. And yes, plant based is what is causing heart attacks, neurological brain diseases like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer's, ADHS, Autism, dementia, MS, and so much more hitting younger ages. Your brain feeds of animal saturated fats, not vegetable oils or any plant based fats. Even plant based is what is ruining human eyes, causing cataracts, glaucoma, dry and wet eye macular degeneration, and blindness!
The 7th Day Adventists Christians wanted to ruin human hormones by making you infertile, not able to propagate, and it is working! They are secretly embedding their religious ideology everywhere to trick humans into eating plant based! They designed the vegan and vegetarian diets, first called, “Garden of Eden Vegan Diet.” They designed the food pyramid snd RDA. They wrote the medical school textbook curriculum back in 1920 on their made up “health”, they started companies like “Kellogg’s, they are in the “health” and “Gov’t” organizations. Coca Cola is controlled by 7th Day Adventists Christians promoting the plant sugars to harm your hormones. And it’s not to save anything, it’s to ruin anyone’s human hormones that are tricked into it.
7th Day Adventists Christians are winning. You think you are healthy on plant based, and even if thin think you are healthy, but don’t be fooled. I recommend you go get a thorough check up on blood work, not just TSH for your thyroid either. That’s a start- then get T3, T4, T3 reverse, Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies, thyroglobin Antibodies. Get your visceral fat checked in belly area with MRI scan. That’s just the beginning.
Plant based diets ruin human health. If you plan to be healthy, have longevity, even have kids, you need to do your research and consider eating animal meat and animal saturated fats. Carnivore diet will heal you, and has for many vegans and vegetarians that have unplugged themselves from the plant based matrix and see the truth. Don’t be a statistic in the illnesses, diseases, and cancer rates that continue to rise with humans on a heavy or all plant based diet!
You can chill on the carnivore misinformation. We already know a diet full of rotting flesh and dairy just leads to disease and chronic inflammation
Protein can be converted to glucose so no you don't NEED carbs but carbs may be beneficial in small to moderate amounts.
Exactly, he should be withdrawing so many of his products. Health food stores in Australia are full of Mercola products. So I totally agree with you Mic that he should make some kind of statement, plus withdraw products which might well be inconsistent with good supplements practice.
I have great respect for Dr. Mercola, and especially since he admitted he was wrong.
Also, his COVID 19 info I believe kept all of my family and friends safe who adhered to it.
He’s been ahead of the times on so many topics.
And I’ve never heard him belittle or make fun of someone else as this video has done.
My mid 70s parents are in great health, and they’ve followed a lot of his advice (minus keto, as they’re more plant-based).
I didn’t realize this channel was so “mainstream.” Unsubscribing.
Dont unsubscribe! Stay and express yourself. I never followed Mercola on diet because he was ridiculously anti vegan. But I also felt he was courageous when it came to COVID. He was threatened in a non legal way with that.
Maybe Mercola noticed that people on healthy plant diets did much better with COVID than meat eaters.
You were never subscribed 🙄
@@kathivy
You can be plant-based and also not want to follow people who behave like this and are tied to mainstream thinking.
I haven’t been following Mike for too long though, but my profile indicates that I’m plant-based…
👀 at my play 📝s to see that, yes, I eat plant-foods. Should I leave an eye roll for you too? Nah…
@@kathivy
Joel Fuhrman (if I say his prefix, good ole Y T ❌ my comment) is my favorite plant-based doctor. He’s not afraid to think outside the box, doesn’t just follow the mainstream (he’s a good balance), and he’s classy & respectful.
Less processed food more from scratch is my diet. I am not vegetarian or vegan because it’s eastern religions not diets
The whole ultra trendy diet thing is not healthy
It’s interesting that no matter what “side” people are on… there’s always plenty that argue too far one way or the other, no exceptions, to massage their own belief.
For example, the keto business went too far with the fat thing. Fat fat fat.
Meanwhile, those against and ridiculing keto sometimes list only animal fat as the fat keto practitioners eat.
As a diabetic, the keto approach helped me better than any medical regiment the MD’s and original establishment were suggesting.
So the non-“real” doctors, the chiropractors, are totally wrong? Of course not. Nobody is ever totally wrong or right. Otherwise there would be no question or arguments.
The quacks out there from the holistic side are plenty, sure, but the wrong advice, dishonest greed, and immense damage done by the industry pushing medicine and medicine for that medicine and for how long pushed three meals a day of grease and fried carbs with all those fortified doctor-endorsed cereals, sugary juices, etc. etc.. are countless.
They’re all just human and make mistakes, sometimes they’re right, and sometimes just make money off your downward spiral, AND snowball effect from historically bad practice.
But they don’t fess up that often, do they?
Which study are we supposed to believe this time?
Many are real but mistaken, others are right but overlooked. Some are close to right but with one misunderstood bit of data.
Yes, it’s fun to rub it on on the keto god or whomever that is, but the MD’s that have been wrong are far more deserving of being called out. After all, the system protects them, and many get to stay quiet after a history rife with mistakes.. and it goes away.
Not funny.
As. diabetic, I follow somewhat of a keto diet mellowed out, mostly following how I feel.
You know I can’t just eat mostly carbs, and just keep tricking my body with insulin injections, right?
I don’t have much animal fat at all, but I do eat meat a few times a week, and fat through nuts, olives, avocados, etc..
So I don’t have much choice for anything “fun” except those horrible keto foods you laugh at. Are they really worse than all the conjured or chemically manufactured foods I ate through the 70’s and 80’s? Really? Huh.
Maybe some of the keto stuff has scary or well disguised ingredients, but please, remember some comparable problems in the past, and that diabetics like myself don’t have much choice.

nobody outside of this circle would believe he said anything about keto because it seems like he deleted the video you are referring to. He probably changed his mind after posting it realizing people who took him up on keto and his supplements will stop buying them.
He’s literally, by his own admission, parroting Ray Peat. Yes, the same Ray Peat who passed away in 2021 after promoting a high carb, high protein diet where the carbs are refined sugars, the protein is biased towards connective flesh/tissue and the fat is heavily saturated with almost a paranoid aversion towards PUFA. It was indeed another kind of insane diet but the two-ish things Peat did get right: low carb diets exacerbate cortisol levels and ketosis is a suboptimal/starvation state with numerous health problems.
Mercola is now trying to capitalise on that grift.

_“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” ― Upton Sinclair_
With a net worth of $100M, Dr. Mercola is probably not concerned about earning a salary, but hats off to him regardless for changing his position based upon the evidence.
Totally respect that he is upfront about what he believes and is open about changing his mind. That’s an incredible and rare trait.
Mr. Mercola doesn't deserve any respect for disowning the silly keto diet. He is still a notorious misinformer and anti science twit.
Bot comment?
Wtf??? I see a complete con artist switching his grift??
Big difference in youtube comments in plant based and carnivore video's. The carnivore ones have a high numbers of wonderful results and cures, not as much in the plant based comments.

@mas-udal-hassan9277 cats are obligate carnivores
You mean only whatever product may exclusively be used for his former stance. Which ones would you start with? Berberine? I would keep that one. Quercetin? I would keep that one.
@mas-udal-hassan9277hahaha tell your cardiologist after your first heart attack. JFC, people are just dumb.
@mas-udal-hassan9277 We are habitual omnivores because we like carnism. But our comparative anatomy is not designed to eat animals. Proof is that we get heart disease, diabetes, e.d., cancers from eating corpses (and smell like it).

Isn't it "fair use"?
Chiropractors are real doctors also, I'm one and I'm not keto, but plant based. Chiropractic college is 5 academic years in addition to undergrad.
I would rather go to a chiropractor, as far as I'm concerned they know alot more than regular doctors, they know energy points , they are awesome
It depends on where you are. Where I'm from chiropractors are only allowed to call themselves dr if they have a PhD and they must specify ", chiropractor" after their names. Psychologists, pharmacists, optometrists, etc. must do the same.
But they aren’t medical doctors, and they often present themselves as though they are…at least when in the limelight. Mercola is a snake oil salesman at best.
Simple carb controversy. I'm low carb/high fat, and I have been most of my life. Why? It helps me with seizures and auto immune.. And weight control. But I have tried vegan and felt pretty well as long as I only eat monosaccharides. If I eat carbs I try to only eat monosaccharide and not disaccharides or polysaccharides. So my feeling is that in my case at least, there is a problem for unknown reasons with metabolizing disaccharides and polysaccharides . I'm doing well. I don't think diets are a one size fits all. If you have a problem with disaccharides and polysaccharides you may wait a long time for a doctor to tell you. Like a miserable lifetime. I've never followed Dr. Mercola. I let my own health be my guide.
It has cured so many millions of people where veganism long-term does the opposite. Dr Jasmandas and Dr O'Mara has shown in their practice and clinical research, 50 years combined between the two, that they see more vegans than any other groups for heart disease and RARELY ever have seen a carnivore patient. What does that tell you?
so this guy quits his fad diet after he's safely made his millions out of it because he knows how unhealthy it is? feels like he should be spending some of his ill gotten gains publicising this more to everyone who he took in and is probably now suffering serious consequences from it
honestly, i was one of his earliest followers and saw he was so far ahead of the crowd. so many of his recommendations were solid, like coq10 to ubiquinol, vit d, etc.. unfortunately, his "greed" got ahead of his goodness. no one is perfect. and i knew better to buy his costly supps.
WHO sponsored those studies ????? Could it perhaps be the cereal/grain , sugar industry?
Bingo. You know something is wrong when sugar laden cereals with METAL SHAVINGS in them, I kid you not, are called healthy. I'm ashamed of the USA's stance on eating, in general. It's killing people. The hydrogenated fats have to be the worst and the seed oils.
"Medical doctor takes years and years to learn very basic things about human health."
Doctors know what´s healthy and what´s not just like most people, but they don´t want to give up all of the hormones and drugs that they put into their bodies on a daily basis. It´s 2023, people know the deal, they just don´t care.
They actually do take years to learn about human health😂
And he didn't really learn anything because he's wrong you don't need sugar at all. Sugar causes social anxiety and mental illness among other things.
hmmmm.....you are what you eat. That's the most basic thing about human health. " During four years of medical school, most students spend fewer than 20 hours on nutrition." --Stanford U
@@ASMRyouVEGANyet They learn barely anything about human health.
I love the jokes😂. When did being a happy charming person become a drag to some people?
Saturday morning, healthy breakfast, 3 years vegan, watching one of my favourite youtubers. Life is great.
Wait for another 7 years as it takes about 10 years for the negative effects of things to begin to show up.
@@JAspen-xe9nv yeah, I noticed that when I was overweight by the age of 10 because I basically lived off of animal carcasses and breast milk…lol
So is vegan/vegetarian better?…not according to actual folks who Dr baker interviews. Many find out that there bodies as they age don’t do well being vegan/vegetarian. Then then try carnivore and completely reverse there mind and body. I can speak first hand that carnivore has greatly improved my life. No disrespect Mic, but you look sickly to me. Have you ever thought of trying carnivore?
I may get some hate for this, but I think it bears saying. I've struggled with bouts of health anxiety off and on for years, so I've spent some time in pretty much every conceivable diet camp, and I have to say, though I've since taken a more plant-based turn for sustainability reasons, I felt great, physically and mentally on keto. I got most of my fat from unsaturated sources, with moderate amounts of lean meat, fish, and eggs; had no issue getting over 50 grams of fiber a day; and once I got over the adaptation hump my energy was incredible, I slept like a baby, I was stronger in the gym, my appetite was in the toilet, and my anxiety was at an all-time low. There are people who take it as a license to eat all the butter and bacon in the world, but even at my most fervent I never drank the LDL doesn't matter kool-aid. Every camp has its zealots but I wholeheartedly believe that shouldn't detract from the fact that, with some education, this can absolutely be done in a healthy manner with potentially remarkable benefits, especially as it pertains to mental health.
What do you think of vegan keto???
@@rebella5769 Highly restrictive but doable if you've got the gumption, especially if you allow yourself some meat substitutes like Beyond. My version of keto was very plant-forward, but having some lean meats, eggs, and occasional dairy in the mix definitely went a long way towards adding variety. That said, I think nuts and seeds are some of the healthiest foods on the planet, that too many low-fat people are too quick to do away with because of the calorie density. I used to make a smoothie almost every morning from walnuts, avocado, flax, chia, and hemp seeds, with some cocoa powder and sweetener. Delicious, filling, and full of good fats and fiber. Salads with olive oil and tofu were big for me as well.
@@rebella5769 It doesn't work, just do normal keto. It's better for you.
Mate this comment was such a relief, people are always so extreme with their diets that it becomes some bigger part of their personality and start the whole echo chamber that denies any any downsides of the diet. I just started keto 3 weeks ago and I hope my experience is as balanced and nice as yours. Thanks for sharing
@@Fatina02 Yeah the diet tribalism is real, especially online. I have nothing against vegans, and I'm not here to preach the gospel of keto. I just feel the need to speak up sometimes against all this my camp vs your camp nonsense. Any diet can be healthy or not depending how you do it. That said I've been lower fat for a couple months now, and I feel pretty good. The anti-anxiety effect isn't what it was before, but the volume of food I get to eat now is insane compared to before. Appetite is greater, but since I'm eating more frequently it kinda cancels out. I'm gonna get a lipid panel next month and see what's happening under the hood. Point being, I feel there's many paths to Rome. All the best
I never understand why it’s necessary to tear down the work of other people to promote your own ideas. Speeding up soundtracks is kinda punky. Dr. Mercola has always propounded that he’s on a life long quest for the optimal diet for himself and wants to share what he learns. In his latest article on the work of Jay Feldman he even says “[w]hile it’s nearly impossible to come up with a diet that is ideal for everyone, general guidelines can be provided. After that, it’s up to you to experiment and note what works and what doesn’t.” This is why he won’t take down keto supplements. Keto works for some people. Everyone has unique physiologies that need unique approaches. We can agree to disagree and appreciate the courage it takes to acknowledge if we’ve got it wrong.
Eating beef ends up killing far
more animals, even if one
includes accidental crop deaths from
harvesting crops for those animals.
According to the United Nations,
77% of global farmland is used for
animal agriculture. This includes
the grazing land they’re on and
the crop land used to feed the
animals.
Any kind of farm-related
killing such as trapping, poisoning,
farm protection, crop protection,
crop deaths, animal rights violations,
stabbing of animals, shooting of
animals, decapitation of animals,
forcing animals to die in gas chambers...
all of these would be reduced
if everyone adopted a vegan diet.
I'll keep eating beef. You can eat the vegies. Thanks.
I strictly followed keto for 2,5 years. Back in the years when it was really hip. But during that time I witnessed a terrifying deterioration of my health. It started with a bad mood, the low blood sugar made me feel stressed out all the time, with more and other issues I finally developed heart arrhythmia. The ketotards would say "you forgot to eat lots of salt". Since 6 years I am back on high carbs, essentially pure whole plantbased (with occasional side steps) and my health is superb again. No more arrhythmias whatsoever. Lowcarb high fat can turn a healthy man into a cardiology patient.
Congratulations! Glad you are feeling better.
@@Kayte... Thanks. I hope it helps as a warning for others.
There are hundreds of people, many of them even 5 years on the carnivore diet without any carbs at all and with very high saturated fat intake, who can do high intensity exercise and have no problems with hearts and some of them even claim, that they got rid of heart problems. I for example got rid of heart palpitations and skipped heartbeats on the carnivore diet. My heart is now like a clock. But I am not saying, that your experiences are invented. In fact before carnivore, when I was doing keto and started to do intermittent fasting trying OMAD I experienced increased heart irregularities probably because my gall bladder was not able to handle so much fat in such a short time. Allegedly there is some connection gall bladder - heart. Now I am eating carnivore twice a day and everything is fine.
@@neilnewinger3059 I believe that there are numerous cases where people feel much better without carbs and with lots of fat in their diet. But probably those are a very small minority. The numerous and growing number of studies showing how bad keto is, is valid for the majority. I would be curious to find out which types of persons actually benefit from a certain diet. Maybe a genetic test could reveal that? Then I could have avoided this terrible journey on keto and you could have found your luck earlier with carnivore. Let's hope science brings that technology forward. But util then, the general advice for a healthy diet for the average person is probably not carnivore.
I made a very similar mistake with very similar outcomes. I made a u-turn in terms of diet since and I'm doing good (fingers crossed) but the thought of how much damage those few years inflicted on my body is a concerning one.
cool now do an ex vegan who is doing better eating animal products
He wont, hes VEGAN
There are way more of these
He's probably going to start selling high carb stuff now! 😂
I'm so fed up of keto. I love fasting, do it all the time, and for some reason so many people who do fasting also do Keto. I try to watch channels about Fasting, they always delve into Keto.
How long do you fast? I'm afraid to fast because I don't know what to eat to come out of a fast.
Make videos yourself about plant based fasting then
@@thegoodguyalwayswins 😂😂
Even some youtubers i watch that don't talk about health at all happily mention from time to time how healthy keto is. I hate it. They have no clue and they influence all those people.
I would recommend Dr. Walter Longo. Too much fasting can be tough on the gall bladder. So all things in moderation.....
If keto is so good for us, why have Inuits developed a genetic mutation which allows them to prevent ketosis despite eating only animal products?
Had a friend who flew in to work with Inuits health care. She was working with the oldest person in a village dying at 70 from a barage of symptoms.... About their only veg was something from the tundra cured in seal blubber.
@@janefreeman995when was this?
Dude should have studied basic metabolism before writing his book. He was making money pushing a fad diet and I expect that he’ll be on to a simple-carbohydrate money-making adventure next. Quack 🦆
I believe it, and do respect his change of heart, but what about people like Dr Shawn Baker who say they've eaten nothing but steak for years?
I don't believe them.
Dr Shawn Baker is a great meat-eating man. Holds several worlds record for rowing. I like to watch his videos when he debates these pasty malnutritioned looking vegans. How could you look like you are decades older than you are and get on a podcast with Dr Baker, who looks 15 years younger than he is and try to argue with him about how healthy eating plants are good for you and eating meat is not?? I just laugh my ribeye eating ass off when I see this.
It's very easy to lie in front of the camera. If he does, he takes supplements like a lots of carnivore does, basically eating vegetables and fruits in a capsule form.
I don’t understand why there is such fighting over the one correct diet!! It seems like such a human thing to do… to create these distractions and avoid doing the real work of working on ourselves and being kind and supportive to others. I was shocked by the realities of factory farming when I was a child. My parents finally tolerated me becoming a vegetarian at age 11. Soon I became vegan and was vegan 25 years… vegetarian a total of 32 years. I followed doctors like Joel Fuhrman and John McDougall very strictly because I was always athletic but never felt my best. Finally in my 40’s after feeling sicker and more depressed with every decade, I got chickens so I could eat eggs. Two years later I added fish and then beef from a local farm. Now I have my own small farm and raise animals organically and naturally on fresh pasture. I reversed my Hashimotos on a healthy Keto diet and now work with Paleomedicina to shrink my breast cancer. My lifelong extremely debilitating depression lifted when I started eating animal products. The Paleomedicina diet is 100% animal-based and I eat what I’ve raised exclusively as my animals live their entire life and have a humane death on my farm. They never get hauled off to a slaughterhouse. I implore you and your followers to respect that humans can benefit from different foods needed at different times in our lives. I was always against factory farming but I knew we had the teeth of omnivores. I really naively believed we could protest our way to an end of factory farming. Well, it’s only worsened in my lifetime. But mass veganism comes with so many evils, too!! Come drive a tractor with mower (least invasive implement… not even talking a destructive tiller) and you will personally witness how many animals are killed mowing one field. And the poisons we farm monoculturally with. Stop being holier than thou… every living being on this planet is dependent on each other. There is no perfect diet. I wish all the vegans would become regenerative agriculture farmers. This would change the world for the better.
Well said. Insipid bleating about the proper way to eat only invites contempt with little results to show for it. -and I have to say from past experience as a vegan witnessing the behaviour of other vegans:
within 10 minutes of meeting a vegan, you will definitely know he's a vegan 😂
@@_Solaris Why not? when someone is part of the majority omnivorism, they do not need to speak up for the victims, the
animals. The majority years ago, used to be the slave holders, then abolitionist spoke up for the victims and things started to change. You omit the obnoxiousness of
many omnivores, few of whom have ever worked in a slaughterhouse. Many males in a poll stated they would rather die 10 years earlier than give up their carnism. Their choice. Why did you get into veganism, and nd WHY did you let go of veganism
🤣 I come for the science - I stay for the jokes! My husband loving me again is just the bonus. Thankfully I bought all that water off from Dua Lipa’s cousin.
Please once again, dont use strawman fallacie saying keto is animal based. There is a growing community of plant based keto or LC and this might be one io the healthiest diets
Meat is better. It has more protein and it's good protein.
@@theresagraf1573 the better bioavailibilty of meat's proteines are a fact, but this can be easily compensated by the right mix of proteine sources. also, soy is very, very close to meat. so , no problem.
Woke up and stop smelling the bulletproof coffee. Whole food plant based hands down . Almost died from Keto :(((
how come you "almost died on keto"...but, still eating veggies on plant based? the only thing you eliminated was meat...which in the long run you wil realize keep your ancestors life to eventually allow you into the world.
Gosh, it really will kill you. My friend survived his beloved keto but at the end of about a year he needed a stent and it was terrible for him. His doc told him he should lay off all the meat, to instead eat starch and veggie. Now, just a year after that he has cancer. I hate to think how he bombarded his body with growth factors during his Keto love affair. It's not a diet elders should undertake, they have less wiggle room for problems.
@@Hollysuzette33 Wouldn't that depend on what you mean with "keto"?

We aren't plant based because its super fun. It is our actual diet and we cant do anything about it. Except it. We need complex carbohydrates to live ❤.
It is delicious though
Why isn't it super fun? Plant based foods are incredibly tasty and not gross to deal with like meats, eggs, cheese, etc.
@@baddoboss9075 I definitely agree I love my bean and brown rice and pico de Gallo. I absolutely love this diet, but some people have the wrong mindset 😞. They say it's gross 🤢
I havent had a single plant food for over 15 years. ALL meat, gee i wonder why im not dead yet. Gee i wonder why im thriving on carnivore with 0 health issues!? Load of bullshit
It doesn't seem fun at first, but since becoming vegan and eating plant based I have had so much fun trying new stuff and found some awesome meals!!
It is quite funny to have CNN accuse anyone about spreading misinformation.
I'm glad to see some balance brought back to diet, extreme in any direction typically misses the target.
Mercola has helped to bring both truth, and untruth to the health table, hopefully he continues to improve, his FINANCES sure have! Sheesh! 100mil?
I am pleased to hear Dr Joe is getting on the right path. He was the first guy on youtube I had found who speaks about health. Yes, I differed with him as I was vegetarian and had just turned Vegan when I began watching him. I recall really being twisted up when he would recommend eating all those eggs and fish etc.
Well, this is a good thing. The Keto spell is ending!
What makes you think he no longer eats eggs and fish?
On the right path? And you wonder why everyone thinks veganism is a cult 🤦
Weird. Imagine being so happy that someone quit a diet. Brb, celebrating vegan food companies losing business and imploding. Meatless butcher being the most recent.
An example of keto meals; eggs with rocket, avocado & blueberries. Salmon in butter or olive oil with cauliflower rice & peppers, spinach and walnuts. Beef with rocket salad, zucchini noodles.
All extremely nutrient dense. Not a single study links keto to disease (especially not the recent one made up of food questionnaires & keto dieters eating 167g of carbs per day) - lol)
You're just mad & can't cope with people eating meat, fish or dairy🤷♂️👍
