I have had severe IBS for 15 years, no doctor knew what caused it and I did many treatments, medicines and tests with no results. Half a year ago I saw a video by Dr Berg about how bad seed oils and sugar was showing how it affected the body. Then BOOM two days after I stopped seed oils and sugar I haven't had a SINGLE problem with my stomach for half a year now. Thank you Dr Berg!
Thanks for telling what occurred after stopping sugar. Glad you are not suffering anymore. I used to suffer to suffer with it too and it stopped after I went to cooking with raw foods, eating a simple sweetened chocolate with organic cane sugar, onions and garlic every day, very little breads, and no drinks but water once in a while from store shelves.
Interesting. Good for you and thanks to Dr. Berg who comes through as always. I had IBS for 14 yrs and recently healed with 1,800mg B1 in the form of fat-soluble Benfotiamine (Dr. Berg recom. this kind). After 5-6 wks I was healed. Dosing is important. I followed Elliot from EONutrition for B1 info. for any nerve-related problem (VERY brilliant young man). I was shocked to hear that even people with Parkinson's, MS, ALS can mitigate many symptoms with B1.
Me as well. For decades I have had multiple health problems. Ibs colitis, fibromyalgia arthritis. And many others. And for years I was given many things to try and help. But nothing helped as much as getting off grains, sugar and seed oils. Along with all highly processed food, fast foods etc. I was in pain constantly. I do still have pain but it is just a fraction of what I use to have. I am even able to walk more than to the bathroom. I can go out and enjoy walking again. I have currently lost 25 lbs. i still have a way to go but it is so incredible to feel like I am getting my life back.
I think it’s horrible doctors don’t even suggest elimination diets for many issues, prescribe dangerous drugs and invasive tests instead of saying “ hmm maybe try cutting out foods for a few weeks and see if it helps!”😡😡
Did you know? 80% of packaged foods in the U.S. are banned in other countries . . . that is, ingredients found in around 80 percent of our processed foods are illegal in other countries.
@Bravis Tickle just google list of banned foods banned in europe vs usa. Skittles Gatorade Heinz catchup is different. Theres dyes the usa alkows that have links to cancer that europe has banned.
You are so right about not finding FOOD in the grocery stores. The last time I went to Costco (a month ago) I was struck with the thought, there’s no food here anymore. Just more home goods, packaged foods etc. The meat priced me out. I think both seed oils and sugar are terrible for us - and they’re usually together in packaged foods, but probably the oils are worse.
The money you save from not buying the processed foods you can spend on meats (wild or grass fed at Whole Foods instead). Costco is still a good place to go for Butter, olive oil, almond flour, frozen veggies, etc.
@@ritalafleur4417 suburban Chicago - the actual food placement was redone last few years so there are rarely enough eggs (have to be there early on the delivery day), fresh fruits & vegetables occupies a space less than half of previously, but the bulk of the store is clothing, furniture, housewares, etc. Personal care items/pharmacy items also reduced to about half of previous space. I was looking for a bottle of wine (not expensive- Apothic) and the cases that were on display were covered in a layer of dusty dirt as if they had been stored in some forgotten basement corner.... Also noticed expiration dates of canned items such as chicken or salmon, is earlier than ones I bought several months ago. In a Gordons Food Service store I found several-months-expired cans of soup (gave it to the cashier).
Dr. Berg, you changed our lives, changed eating habits for our adult children, and will keep teaching the right diet to our grandkids. Your knowledge, ability to compile scientific data and provide it to general population are amazing talent.
Listen or read also ibn sina,,he say that kids from 5 to 14 should not drink juice ,eat fruit better ,,in this period kids brain,body and immune system grows and strength up ,,,i know it sounds hard but its for the kids health,,i guess i must not mention the sugar drinks like cola ,,drink them never in your life is the best choose
My mom has cooked everything with olive oil for many years now so I only feel comfortable eating home cooked food. My siblings eat out alot and have alot of digestive problems; I will send this video to them. There is so much ignorance regarding diet and you explain everything in such a good way.
As someone who has a nickel allergy and can’t consume soy/seed products, it is extremely difficult to avoid these oils. On the bright side, I’ve become a lot better in the kitchen making things from scratch.
I can relate to having to make things from scratch + packaged/processed & fast food is no longer an option for me because I'm allergic to Cottonseed Oil (the fluid sister of "Cellulose"). It's in almost everything these days - even mixed with Olive Oil or is usually the main ingredient in "Vegetable Oil" because it's the cheapest. I'm sure there will be more & more people that develop allergies to these things that shouldn't even be in our food. Hopefully it won't take as long as it took people to "discover the truth" about cigarettes. 🤦♀️
I'm commenting before the finish; but I believe the Omega-6 fatty acids that we get from seed oils are horrendous and disastrous for our bodies. Both are bad... great video, thank you for doing this!
But that's only your believe. Can't remember which of keto carnivore doctors ha great podcast explaining that it's not that o6 is bad but it's about ratios. Either Berry or Mason or Judy Cho... Can remember
Sometimes it's So depressing!I feel like wiring my jaw shut! I became reactive to balsamic &Olive oil in my greens,Nut. Yeast...hives /Rash. burning hot..so I switched to Grapeseed oil ..the one You didn't mention Dr.Berg.. Anyway didn't react to that combo..but no good Right🙄..
I think the oil is worse, because there is no equivalent for it in nature and it is almost completely unnatural and foreign to our body. The sugar is pretty bad as well but at the end of the day it can be dealt with in the body even if it is at the cost of slowly breaking the metabolic system. I love you Doctor❤️ you have inspired me to study nutrition and hopefully become 10% as good of a doctor as you are, sir🌹
@@teekay698 no. Not in moderation! In most of us carnivores or some keto people it is between 70-80% of our diet. In my case 80% 20% protein. My blood work is exceptionally good! All of it
Dr. Berg, since I've been following your videos and taking your advice, my health has improved many times over. I just had an extensive Cleveland Heart blood study and I was excited to see the results. I just turned 70 and have not been on any meds for years. Prior to my lifestyle change, I was insulin resistant, had high blood pressure, GERD, sleep apnea, and I was overweight. All of those conditions no longer exist. I am sleeping much better, have much less stress even though some circumstances would warrant it, and just have a better general attitude in life. Thank you so much for your generous contribution to the world and for the time you take to study and share your knowledge with your audience.
Years ago a friend called an asked me to look up the carbs, calories and fibre in a packaged food. Before internet. I had a very good book. Still use it on occasion, even though out to date on some things. There were several brands and it was based on 1/2 cup servings. The normal brands had about 35 to 40 carbs per half cup. The very expensive organic, natural brand was close to 80 carbs. I am guessing a lot of added sugar.
I made a blueberry pie today with lard, lots of blueberries, and no sugar. Was still really good, and got like 800 calories out of the pie and my life.
Love this type of analyzing, all the work you put into it makes so much more sense. I have lost weight and lowered my blood pressure and have my gout under control and no acid reflux at all. I follow 2 other doctors too. I owe my health to the 3 of you thank you.
I feel like it’s oil since I experienced it. I used to use canola oil and I had joint pain due to inflammation . Ever since I stopped using it I’m feeling much better.
And if I’m deep frying something I use mustard seed oil. Sure it has strong flavor but for very first time. After that it is like normal oil. Key is to heat it on high heat completely first time then use it after cooling it for deep frying.
It’s very interesting to learn that sugar is slightly less harmful than crappy oil. I cook with the fats that you have listed . And my sugar is from fruit. I have learned the true cost of avocado and kiwi fruit I have decided that I will no longer eat them I am on a mission to eat only fruit that is grown locally it makes me sad to know what the production cost and transport costs of avocados and kiwi really are .but I feel that not buying them is the least I can do . my favourite fruit blueberries is grown locally and apples too I have local wild organic blueberries in my freezer . I don’t know of a source for local organic apples or strawberries but I will search for some when they are in season in the Maritimes.🎉 It certainly will make a change in what and when I eat fruit but I think it’s the best way to go. Thank you I look forward to seeing you in the next one 😊
If you look at diabetes and obesity rate vs sugar consumption there's virtually no correlation between sugar consumption and diabetes, not even obesity. It's the seed oils the cause of both
I am learning so much from your channel. You have an easy way of explaining things. It's sad to see so many foods touted as "healthy" when they're really toxic. I'm changing my diet, but think it might be months before I see changes and I'm heartbroken that the standard American diet ruined my life while it's still being promoted.
Chris, jump into that keto approach and sprinkle in some days of intermittent fasting and you'll see results much more sooner than you expect. Incorporate some exercise with that and you'll be on your way!
@@edcon99 I'm doing IF and OMAD about once a week or more if I can, Keto, cut sugars and carbs out of my diet as much as possible, Bullet Proof coffee, strength train at least 4-5x a week, and walk everyday. I'm seeing small changes, but it's been 50 years of the SAD. I just feel like my body fights me all the time...
Cured my diabetes with IF and keto with Dr Berg and a chiropractic nutrition approach. Don’t be discouraged! Everything you do today helps your health. Health is a lifelong journey. 🙏🏼 Thank you!
Dr Berg, this morning I heard someone listening to a health program on one of our local radio stations . The presenter included information from a doctor on his program and guess who it was? When I heard the voice, I was like “ that’s my doctor, that’s my doctor, that’s Dr Berg!”. It was good hearing someone play your input on health on one of our local radio. Your platform is far reaching!!! Blessings to you Dr Berg!
I buy only olive oil, coconut oil and avocado oil. I used to used refined sunflower oil for high heat cooking, but switched to light/mild taste olive oil.
Tallow and ghee are far superior as they contain stearic acid and odd chain fatty acids and all the fat soluble vitamins: A,D,E,K2, not found in olive coconut or avocado oil
Let me clarify. I'm a vegetarian, so no animal fat for me. For cooking and light sautee'ing, I use light/mild taste olive oil. It is versatile for different cuisines. I never fry or deep fry anything. It's extremely unhealthy. For baking I like to use coconut oil or evoo. I don't bake sweet things very often and I use mostly fruit to sweeten and add a teaspoon of gur jaggery to a recipe. For drizzling and salads I like avocado oil or evoo. (Evoo=extra virgin olive oil)
I wondered about lard. My family and my husband's family consumed lard because that's what there was to use and several of them lived to 100 and more. Of course they didn't feel fry things or eat a lot of processed foods and sweets as regularly as they are available today. Thank you for your very important information.
I commented something similar to this above. Youre absolutely right. People used deer tallow where i live. I feel like we should revisit lard and tallow. Of course use those in moderation.
Right. My Grandfather lived to almost 103. Same lifestyle. They worked hard in gardens, on farms, etc for exercise daily. And those beans always were seasoned with bacon grease. 😂
Hey Dr. Berg, 4th year medstudent here, going to be a Family Doctor Resident in 2 months. I would love to have you on my podcast sometime! Here is a rough summary of the video! [00:00] - Differentiating between sugar and omega-6 seed oils [02:05] - Industrial seed oils and refined sugar have negative effects on the body [04:23] - Refined sugar is much worse than fruit sugar and can cause gum problems, depletion of vitamins and complications for diabetes. [06:28] - Seed oils are prevalent in our diet and pose health risks [08:30] - Avoid consuming foods high in omega-6 fatty acids [10:30] - Choose pasture-raised organic eggs and grass-fed beef for better omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. [12:29] - Reduce Omega-6 and increase Omega-3 intake [14:20] - Omega-3 fatty acids are important because our body has difficulty converting precursors like Ala into DHA or EPA. --------------------------------- Here is a more detailed summary for the video: [00:00] Differentiating between sugar and omega-6 seed oils - High percentage of sugar in grocery store food - Importance of maintaining proper omega-6 to omega-3 ratio [02:05] Industrial seed oils and refined sugar have negative effects on the body - Industrial seed oils accumulate in tissues and deplete fat-soluble nutrients - Refined sugar depletes B1 and competes with vitamin C [04:23] Refined sugar is much worse than fruit sugar and can cause gum problems, depletion of vitamins and complications for diabetes. - Consuming refined sugar can cause subclinical scurvy, which is characterized by bleeding gums and fatigue. - Fruit sugar, on the other hand, has phytonutrients that protect against the complications of diabetes. - Seed oils, which are highly refined and over-processed, lack phytonutrients and can create oxidation, inflammation, and pull things out of the body. [06:28] Seed oils are prevalent in our diet and pose health risks - Seed oils such as soy, canola, safflower, and sunflower oil are used in many condiments and salad dressings - Restaurants also heavily use seed oils in frying and cooking, leading to possible health issues [08:30] Avoid consuming foods high in omega-6 fatty acids - Deficiencies in vitamins like B1, C, zinc, and magnesium can result from consuming glucose products while exercising - The ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 should be 1:1, but the average person has a ratio of 25:1 - Grains fed to animals can also contain high levels of omega-6 fatty acids [10:30] Choose pasture-raised organic eggs and grass-fed beef for better omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. - Free-range non-GMO non-soy fed chickens produce eggs with a better ratio (1.3:1) compared to commercial ones (19.9:1). - Grass-fed beef has a better ratio (2:1) of omega-6 to omega-3 compared to grain-fed beef (9:1). [12:29] Reduce Omega-6 and increase Omega-3 intake - Consuming nuts can balance out complications from Omega-6 - Refined foods lose protective factors - Competitive nature between Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids - Cod liver oil is a good source for Omega-3 [14:20] Omega-3 fatty acids are important because our body has difficulty converting precursors like Ala into DHA or EPA. - Eating walnuts or flaxseed does not easily convert to DHA or EPA. - Fish oils or eating wild-caught fish are good sources of Omega-3 fatty acids.
Great info. Most restaurants and institutions filter used oil daily. The oil is typically replaced rather quickly (daily, in my case), depending on use.
Very interesting video. I just left er and they couldn't diagnose my abdominal problems, diagnosed acute dyspnea and acute congestive heart failure. I have this symptoms attack me when having cottonseed oil cooked foods. Many are guilty in not telling you what it is cooked in. There needs to be fda warnings in stores or in restaurants need to have allergic in their menus or a sign when this oil is used. Weird thing is five patients came with similar symptoms in ER. They are sending me to a cardiovascular doctor and a gastrointestinal Dr. I honestly believe they to do an allergy test before treating any condition, as I don't have the much problems today, and it's day 6 since I had the last time I had something that cottonseed-oil. Been seeing this effect 4x times all the same symptoms, but no proper diagnosis, and leads me to believe it is allergic reaction which effects me internally.
Ive gone back to what my Nana did, using lard to make pastry. It's crisper, lighter and tastes wonderful. I don't make it often,but i think it's what everyone did in her times as the alternative was butter and that wasn't affordable for her
I can speak from personal experience that eating plenty of fat( including oils)has absolutely no fattening effect if one does not eat sugar and carbohydrates. So fat( and oils) per se do not make fat, but combined with sugar and carbs, they are used by the body to fatten you even more easily. Sugar makes you fatter than fat.Thanks! This is very comprehensive.
Dora, WRONGand "fattening effect" is not the point of Dr Berg's video. Industrial Seed Oils are way worse that table sugar and the American Diet has Omega 3 and Omega 6 ratios backwards. So like Dr Berg says minute 9:40, seed oils (not FRUIT oils like avocado, coconut, olive) are MUCH worse than sugar Wach the entire video and then do your research
It’s NOT even about which one makes you FAT… Over consumption of calories (good or bad foods) is what makes you fat! Seed oils cause inflammation/disease, doesn’t matter if you are fat or skinny, they will wreak havoc on the body. Like he said, the seed oils can remain in your cells for up to 600 days, that’s almost 2 years!
I already made my decision - NO sweeteners, whether termed "natural" or not. Just find a way to eliminate them all and adopt that as your lifetime mindset and never worry about the subject again. Easier said than done for most people, I realize its a struggle, we all deal with that "sweet tooth" desire/addiction to some degree. My strategy is to realize, we only need to find seven good meals and repeat them forever each week. It's not an insurmountable task and the results are plainly obvious for everyone to see!
I just so happen to be thinking this very topic the other day and I'm even more proud of the fact that I had the same reasoning you shared. For years now, I've been attending the school of Dr Berg Academy via TH-cam! So, am very educated, very informed. One question though, when you mentioned best cooking oils. You included Olive Oil and I'm still confused on that one cause your last lesson was that it's not good to heat Olive. Also heard from other like minded that that study was repelled, Olive oil can withstand heat, so now am confused and been waiting for an update from you. Please shed some light.
I read a study recently that showed extra virgin olive oil is much more resistant to heat induced oxidization compared to other types of seed/vegetable oils. Also that you need to heat it a lot higher than its smoking point in order to induce it. I think the fears around cooking with EVOO are overstated. Just don't re-use the oil and keep your cooking sessions relatively brief. With that said, personally I still prefer cooking with grass-fed organic tallow and butter. I just think it tastes better with most things and is still probably a bit healthier.
Thank you Dr. Berg! This is such an eye opener! I have been on low-carb living for years and it does wonders. But I never paid attention to the oil we use. I buy avocado oil for my cooking, and my husband buys vegetable oil. Guess what? He cooks much more often than I do! I have just throw away all the vegetable oil and hope he doesn't yell at me 😂😂😂
@@conniepoole3712 avacado oil still contains plant sterol it's hydrodized just like everyone seed oil. The best idea is to eliminate all seed oil. U can use ghee or lard, those comes from animal fat which contains good nutrients and has high frying point
So much useful information. It's difficult trying to find something to eat when your schedule is so tight in time because of work and commuting to work. This helps. Thank you
Your videos are like brain candy!! I just can’t stop watching them. I wish I had a dr like you. Keep up the awesome work. I’m going to start keto and IF. I am anxious to get your book and the keto kit I ordered. I should receive it tomorrow. I’m excited to get healthy!
Honestly both are very bad for your health but I would lean more towards sugar especially for people who are diabetic or pre-diabetic. I’ve been following this channel for almost a year and it’s has really helped with my weight loss. I’ve lost over 200 pounds since March of last year and one of the best things I’ve done in changing my diet is cutting off sugar and carbs tremendously. I tell people that I had to break up with the most toxic woman in my life and her name is Little Debbie.
Oh my goodness Papa, I will keep Miss Elly in my prayers. Be careful what Miss Elly eats when she goes outside. Some plants she eats are not good for her. God Bless and let her rest. Miss Elly a lot of people love that little one.❤️❤️❤️
I had a BBQ the other day and I made ribs and due to the prices these days I bought commercial ribs and I didn't put BBQ sauce on some of the ribs but I couldn't eat the ribs because I thought about what the animal ate before it was slaughtered and i did not eat the ribs. I am so health conscience now but that's a good thing. TH-cam has given me the information to save myself from unhealthy eating.
I just got some 1st pressed, cold-pressed, non-chemical processed flaxseed oil and am really liking it mixed with lemon juice or apple cider vinegar on a leafy green salad. Delicious! And thank you thank you for saying you'll probably never become diabetic from eating fruit. My eyes just don't feel the same unless I eat some orange fruit now and then. In fact, I've noticed differences in eye tests now that I'm eating sunny-side up, organic pasture-raised eggs and adding a clementine to those delicious green salads. Plus, the small amount of fruit offsets the flax/olive oil taste! Yummy.
Interesting post. When I went super low carb (less than 15 grams carbs a day) I noticed my eyes much drier. Also the Pasture raised eggs have good omega 3 in them and that is very much good for the eyes.
I just finished Feast of Unleavened Bread! It's hard to find foods to eat during this time, because we are not allowed to ear anything that has leavening agents or preservatives!
Hi! Try Indian grocery stores. Some have many types of flat bread that doesn't contain yeast or baking soda. Chapati & roti are plain. There are whole wheat varieties. Don't get naan--it has yeast.
Should I throw out any unused vegetable oil instead of trying to use it up ? I hate wasting but this might be one of those things I need to do. Thanks for the helpful videos.
It is certainly my dream. We were all born in the wrong century, I often think how much happier life would be working those farms in the early 1800's! And yes I fully realize it was a painfully difficult day-to-day existence with no modern time-saver devices like tractors to help. But, so what!!
Hubby and I have not had seed oil at home for a year. My hands and knees don't have arthritic pain anymore. We decided to have some fries at a restaurant and we both got inflammation. It was gone after an hour or so. But it was not worth it. Looks like restaurants are out for us. We are not keto, but whole foods are what we try our best to eat. No more packaged food, not even pasta. We cook it all ourselves. No condiments and we use honey too.
Because of your advice, and my very strict KETO diet ( EVOOIL, Coconut cream, and Salmon and sardines, and organic eggs - Everyday), I don't have to worry about one thing that you mentioned in this video....... since NONE of the processed poison is in my diet. Zero. I try to go 90%+++++ organic, but that isn't always possible when traveling. KETO is :)
I have a question. Why do you stick strictly to extra virgin olive oil despite the fact that refined olive oil has basically the exact same fatty acid profile etc??
0:18: 🛒 The speaker discusses the prevalence of sugar and seed oils in grocery stores and their potential negative health effects. 3:44: 🍬 Consuming excessive refined sugar can deplete essential nutrients and lead to various deficiencies and health issues. 6:32: 🥦 The video discusses the prevalence of seed oils in our diet and how they are often disguised as healthy options such as vegetable oil and olive oil. 9:44: 🥦 The video discusses the negative effects of consuming foods high in omega-6 fatty acids and the importance of maintaining a balanced ratio of omega-6 to omega-3. 13:19: 🌾 Refining grains into flour reduces their nutrient content and can interfere with the balance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. Recap by Tammy AI
Thank you Dr for reminding us that we can have sweet things in a piece of fruit versus just plain sugar❤😅Yikes all these oils I guess I kind of forget about it but I am so glad I rarely go to a restaurant to eat out I just don’t feel comfortable there it seems fun and exciting to go out for a restaurant date but the food is not nearly as good as eating at home that’s for sure in your underscoring that thank you❤
Recently changed cooking oils from palm oil which has around the same amount of omega 6 as olive oil and went to coconut oil which has 5 times less omega 6 as either palm or olive oil.
When you go to the grocery store start with the entire outer parameter of the store. Then you can go down the isles for your condiments. I almost bought sugar yesterday Dr. Eric. Get out of my head. 😆 Thank you ❤
Ive been listening for your videos for the last few years. Learned alot, I tried keto, IF and so on much earlier in life than finding this channel. I love the info you are sharing so it just resonates with everything I've learned by myself and tested. I just have a question, can you do a series, or a prolonged video on how to balance a 5-7-10day plan of just carnivore diet. I've been wanting to try that for few months lately, there is so much info out there, but I want my maximum workout performance since I'm a coach and move a lot. I was thinking as 4-5eggs a day, around 500g of meat (various parts of animals, liver, heart, brain, whatever) and 200g any kind of fish + butter, ghee, apple cide vinegar, omega 3, vitamin d3 (I've been using 10.000IU for 2years since hearing it from you and I haven't been sick since....I just drop to 5000 during summer if I'm exposed to sun that day more than 3hours). Is that enough or should I maybe throw something else in that?
Totally agree with you my aunt was go in U.S and she had 20 kilos after that she come back in France doc said she had a big problem hormone because food in U.S are sooooo bad if you don’t do attention thanks god I live in France ok have some food not good but i can choose my alimentation from organic food store have a lot in here . SORRY MY ENGLISH IS NOT WELL 😅
I think it's a mistake to make it a one or the other issue. Both seed oils and sugar/refined carbs are bad on their own, but I think together they amplify their negative effects.
Dr Berg I wish you could do a video on this topic. I heard olive and avocado oils are bad also because they oxidize in the bottle. I heard this from multiple sources.
When you look back at the typically size of people in the 1960's. The number of clinically obese was a tiny proportion. That was when frying used animal fat Lard. Processed rubbish convenience food was rare to find. I feel sad for young men and women who are seriously overweight because it's unlikely to be due to overeating.
It essentially is excessive energy intake/overeating from refined grain and sugar beverages. There is much more snacking these days on "foods" that are not satiating and drive people into a grazing pattern.
If chips are THE WORST due to what they're cooked in, then seed oils are worse than sugar? Oh how I'd love to walk the aisles of a grocery store with you Dr Berg and point out ALL the great 🧐 yummy foods 😂...haha ❤️🤗🙏
Except for low blood sugar and low insulin, he insists low blood sugar is caused by high insulin. If you can't eat everyday and sugary foods aren't a part of your regular diet, I guarantee your glucose AND insulin levels drop. There's no way insulin is even near normal if you haven't eaten in a day. His fixes do not work for me, I can't cut out the foods he says to cut out because I dont eat them in the first place. I need to increase both glucose & insulin quickly without eating a meal which at times is impossible.
I haven't watch all of it, but my thinking is as long as sugar is actual sugar not corn syrup, then it's the seed oil that's worse. I will change it later after I watch it probably. Edit: oh, I am not changing my mind after all. Sugar can be taken care of easily even the refined ones. Seed oil on the other hand... well.
Could you please do a video about hypothyroid myopathy? A family member has really struggled with it & weakness in the legs causing him to collapse at times. It was misdiagnosed as cataplexy without narcolepsy. Thank you for all you do!!
It is like asking, which is worse, arsenic or cyanide. My father was a normal size diabetic by age 34. That was in the 60s when the food supply was better. Sugar was called by its proper name of Sugar Diatetics. However we also know the seed oils cause damage to the pancreas. I am also gluten intolerant. I hate eating out for a reason. At home I have control.
That's what I thought after being in keto for years while doing a lot of exercise. Adding a little bit of sugar didn't hurt so much. I like to keep my carbs healthy tho, because I rather eat a steamed potato for potassium rather than raw sugar or even white rice.
I had arthritis pain for 30 years. I gave up added sugars 5 years ago and my pain greatly diminished. I gave up grains 2 years ago and my pain disappeared.
I want to know about sesame seed and grape seed oils -- are they bad like the other seed oils? They are seeds, but maybe not grains?!? Does it make any difference?
I love your videos, where I learned a lot about healthy food and diet. I changed mine almost completely after starting following you and Thomas on youtube 2019. and it works wonders for the RA I am going through. I have a question, I started using an airfryer 1 year ago. I read that Airfryers might cause cancer, I do not want to believe this. Do you have any research on Airfryers? thank you for all information you are sharing
So glad i live somewhere where free range eggs and grass fed beef is easy to come by (grass fed beef is simply the standard here). I remember as a kid we traveled somewhere and i got a burger with grain fed beef. I couldn't figure out what i was eating, the texture and taste is so completely different.
Sharing Dr Bergs notes on Sugar vs Omega 6 Common seed oils are: • Soy oil • Corn oil • Canola oil • Cottonseed oil • Safflower oil • Sunflower oil On average, we’re consuming way too many foods high in omega-6 fats. Ideally, a person should consume a 1:1 ratio of omega-3 fatty acids to omega-6 fatty acids. However, the average ratio is 15:1. This imbalance can lead to all kinds of health problems, especially in the cell membranes. Refined sugar also leads to health issues and is converted to fat, but the extra sugar doesn’t accumulate in the body like omega-6 fatty acids do. Omega-6 fatty acids (seed oils) lodge into your cells and accumulate in your tissues for 600 days. They are not water-soluble like sugar is and can't be burned off like sugar can. Both refined oils and refined sugar can deplete important nutrients. While certain whole foods, like fruit, have sugar, they also have nutrients and phytonutrients to help replenish what was lost and provide protection. But seed oils are a highly refined, over-processed part of a seed that doesn’t have any protective factors. To make seed oils they also use a solvent called hexane to extract the oil from the seed-is it possible some of this solvent could end up in the oil? Overall, while sugar isn't good for you, omega-6 fatty acids are worse for your health than sugar is. Thank you Dr Berg!!
Don't forget that evaporating off hexane required high temperatures, depending on the oil, that could render it toxic before you even get it out of its plastic bottle..
I try to put omega-3 rich oils in every meal that has too much omega-6 fatty acids to curb the absorption of omega-6. It isn't always cheap, but is the best way. Thanks, Dr. Berg!
I feel sooo bad about how the FDA doesn’t do anything about it , the get paid to do nothing , like with the pharmaceutical companies, the medicine side effects are worse then the illness. Thank you very much dr. For al the information.😊
You feel badly because you expect to be able to implicitly trust authority, and when they break that trust, its very sad and depressing to realize the truth... but it is perhaps one of the most valuable life lessons anyone can learn, which is, they really don't deserve our blind trust, they deserve much more scrutiny. Corruption between government regulatory agencies and corporate pharmaceuticals is an everpresent danger we face.
The pharmaceutical industry bought all medical schools in 1910 and is in charge of their curriculum. That’s when they began badmouthing natural remedies and pushing meds. Because a patient cured is a patient lost.
Thanks Dr Berg for your great presentations again and again. Could you give your opinion "What is about seed butters like sunflower, almond, peanut ?" Are they good or bad for consuming. Thanks for your response 🙂
Thanks for the great video Was wondering if “rapeseed oil” from countries like Denmark is considered bad too. Also if you are very careful but occasionally have it by mistake as in (corn oil, or canola oil) happened to me today unintentionally 😢. Fried fish at a friends house.. thought it was olive oil initially. This would really take up to two years to be out of my system ?
I have had severe IBS for 15 years, no doctor knew what caused it and I did many treatments, medicines and tests with no results. Half a year ago I saw a video by Dr Berg about how bad seed oils and sugar was showing how it affected the body. Then BOOM two days after I stopped seed oils and sugar I haven't had a SINGLE problem with my stomach for half a year now. Thank you Dr Berg!
Thanks for telling what occurred after stopping sugar. Glad you are not suffering anymore. I used to suffer to suffer with it too and it stopped after I went to cooking with raw foods, eating a simple sweetened chocolate with organic cane sugar, onions and garlic every day, very little breads, and no drinks but water once in a while from store shelves.
Wow! Awesome!!!
Interesting. Good for you and thanks to Dr. Berg who comes through as always. I had IBS for 14 yrs and recently healed with 1,800mg B1 in the form of fat-soluble Benfotiamine (Dr. Berg recom. this kind). After 5-6 wks I was healed. Dosing is important. I followed Elliot from EONutrition for B1 info. for any nerve-related problem (VERY brilliant young man). I was shocked to hear that even people with Parkinson's, MS, ALS can mitigate many symptoms with B1.
Me as well. For decades I have had multiple health problems. Ibs colitis, fibromyalgia arthritis. And many others. And for years I was given many things to try and help. But nothing helped as much as getting off grains, sugar and seed oils. Along with all highly processed food, fast foods etc. I was in pain constantly. I do still have pain but it is just a fraction of what I use to have. I am even able to walk more than to the bathroom. I can go out and enjoy walking again. I have currently lost 25 lbs. i still have a way to go but it is so incredible to feel like I am getting my life back.
I think it’s horrible doctors don’t even suggest elimination diets for many issues, prescribe dangerous drugs and invasive tests instead of saying “ hmm maybe try cutting out foods for a few weeks and see if it helps!”😡😡
Did you know? 80% of packaged foods in the U.S. are banned in other countries . . . that is, ingredients found in around 80 percent of our processed foods are illegal in other countries.
I live in greece now. You are correct.
Cargill/Macmillan is killing us
@Bravis Tickle just google list of banned foods banned in europe vs usa. Skittles Gatorade Heinz catchup is different. Theres dyes the usa alkows that have links to cancer that europe has banned.

You are so right about not finding FOOD in the grocery stores. The last time I went to Costco (a month ago) I was struck with the thought, there’s no food here anymore. Just more home goods, packaged foods etc. The meat priced me out. I think both seed oils and sugar are terrible for us - and they’re usually together in packaged foods, but probably the oils are worse.
Me as well, where are you from or what Costco do you go to? Mine near me is awful!
The money you save from not buying the processed foods you can spend on meats (wild or grass fed at Whole Foods instead). Costco is still a good place to go for Butter, olive oil, almond flour, frozen veggies, etc.
@@ritalafleur4417 suburban Chicago - the actual food placement was redone last few years so there are rarely enough eggs (have to be there early on the delivery day), fresh fruits & vegetables occupies a space less than half of previously, but the bulk of the store is clothing, furniture, housewares, etc. Personal care items/pharmacy items also reduced to about half of previous space. I was looking for a bottle of wine (not expensive- Apothic) and the cases that were on display were covered in a layer of dusty dirt as if they had been stored in some forgotten basement corner.... Also noticed expiration dates of canned items such as chicken or salmon, is earlier than ones I bought several months ago. In a Gordons Food Service store I found several-months-expired cans of soup (gave it to the cashier).
You can burn off sugar. Seed oil is worse.
Costco has the big box of dates for smoothies
Dr. Berg, you changed our lives, changed eating habits for our adult children, and will keep teaching the right diet to our grandkids. Your knowledge, ability to compile scientific data and provide it to general population are amazing talent.

@@goodjuju4531 I agree 👍
Listen or read also ibn sina,,he say that kids from 5 to 14 should not drink juice ,eat fruit better ,,in this period kids brain,body and immune system grows and strength up ,,,i know it sounds hard but its for the kids health,,i guess i must not mention the sugar drinks like cola ,,drink them never in your life is the best choose
I think seed oils are equally bad as sugar
This guy, Ken Berry and Dr. Sten Ekberg gave me my life back. Thank you.
Me Too 👍
My mom has cooked everything with olive oil for many years now so I only feel comfortable eating home cooked food. My siblings eat out alot and have alot of digestive problems; I will send this video to them. There is so much ignorance regarding diet and you explain everything in such a good way.
As someone who has a nickel allergy and can’t consume soy/seed products, it is extremely difficult to avoid these oils. On the bright side, I’ve become a lot better in the kitchen making things from scratch.
I can relate to having to make things from scratch + packaged/processed & fast food is no longer an option for me because I'm allergic to Cottonseed Oil (the fluid sister of "Cellulose").
It's in almost everything these days - even mixed with Olive Oil or is usually the main ingredient in "Vegetable Oil" because it's the cheapest.
I'm sure there will be more & more people that develop allergies to these things that shouldn't even be in our food. Hopefully it won't take as long as it took people to "discover the truth" about cigarettes. 🤦♀️
Im allergic to nickel and did not know that has a correlation?
I'm commenting before the finish; but I believe the Omega-6 fatty acids that we get from seed oils are horrendous and disastrous for our bodies. Both are bad... great video, thank you for doing this!
Yes indeed
My thoughts exactly.
But that's only your believe.
Can't remember which of keto carnivore doctors ha great podcast explaining that it's not that o6 is bad but it's about ratios.
Either Berry or Mason or Judy Cho... Can remember
@@patrycja2696 yes ratios and oils too. The oils are absolute horrible gor the body due to their oxidation and toxins. Not specifically omega 6
Sometimes it's So depressing!I feel like wiring my jaw shut!
I became reactive to balsamic &Olive oil in my greens,Nut. Yeast...hives /Rash. burning hot..so I switched to Grapeseed oil ..the one You didn't mention Dr.Berg..
Anyway didn't react to that combo..but no good Right🙄..
I think the oil is worse, because there is no equivalent for it in nature and it is almost completely unnatural and foreign to our body. The sugar is pretty bad as well but at the end of the day it can be dealt with in the body even if it is at the cost of slowly breaking the metabolic system.
I love you Doctor❤️ you have inspired me to study nutrition and hopefully become 10% as good of a doctor as you are, sir🌹
Back then people used animal fat. I think we should start making our own tallow and lard and use it in moderation.
@@teekay698 some stores still sell lard!
I think about the only seed oils one should be eating are whatever is contained in the few seeds you may eat..
@@teekay698 no. Not in moderation! In most of us carnivores or some keto people it is between 70-80% of our diet.
In my case 80% 20% protein. My blood work is exceptionally good! All of it
@@patrycja2696 i know when i eat red meat with fat my bowel movement is consistent, and better. So you could be right.
Dr. Berg, since I've been following your videos and taking your advice, my health has improved many times over. I just had an extensive Cleveland Heart blood study and I was excited to see the results. I just turned 70 and have not been on any meds for years. Prior to my lifestyle change, I was insulin resistant, had high blood pressure, GERD, sleep apnea, and I was overweight. All of those conditions no longer exist. I am sleeping much better, have much less stress even though some circumstances would warrant it, and just have a better general attitude in life. Thank you so much for your generous contribution to the world and for the time you take to study and share your knowledge with your audience.
In almost every grocery store today, there is a section labeled "Natural Foods." If that's a true label, then what's in the rest of the store?
Years ago a friend called an asked me to look up the carbs, calories and fibre in a packaged food. Before internet. I had a very good book. Still use it on occasion, even though out to date on some things.
There were several brands and it was based on 1/2 cup servings. The normal brands had about 35 to 40 carbs per half cup. The very expensive organic, natural brand was close to 80 carbs. I am guessing a lot of added sugar.
LOL too bad it's not really funny
Those labels aren't reliable.
I made a blueberry pie today with lard, lots of blueberries, and no sugar. Was still really good, and got like 800 calories out of the pie and my life.
Damn that sounds amazing 🥧
I agree with you about using lard. I use the harder to find unhomogenized type.
I've never understood people adding sugar to already sweet fruit foods
flour ?
Would you mind sharing the recipe
Love this type of analyzing, all the work you put into it makes so much more sense. I have lost weight and lowered my blood pressure and have my gout under control and no acid reflux at all. I follow 2 other doctors too. I owe my health to the 3 of you thank you.
Following a long time. THANK YOU... I'm 71, 5'8", 143 lbs and fast 16 hrs every day...
I feel like it’s oil since I experienced it. I used to use canola oil and I had joint pain due to inflammation . Ever since I stopped using it I’m feeling much better.
What did you use in its place
@@tiffgplu2590 olive oil
And if I’m deep frying something I use mustard seed oil. Sure it has strong flavor but for very first time. After that it is like normal oil. Key is to heat it on high heat completely first time then use it after cooling it for deep frying.
@@masterpiece9449coconut oil?
@@janerowena4023 I used olive oil for day to day cooking but not for deep frying
It’s very interesting to learn that sugar is slightly less harmful than crappy oil. I cook with the fats that you have listed . And my sugar is from fruit. I have learned the true cost of avocado and kiwi fruit I have decided that I will no longer eat them I am on a mission to eat only fruit that is grown locally it makes me sad to know what the production cost and transport costs of avocados and kiwi really are .but I feel that not buying them is the least I can do . my favourite fruit blueberries is grown locally and apples too I have local wild organic blueberries in my freezer . I don’t know of a source for local organic apples or strawberries but I will search for some when they are in season in the Maritimes.🎉 It certainly will make a change in what and when I eat fruit but I think it’s the best way to go. Thank you I look forward to seeing you in the next one 😊
That is really good info thanks. I enjoy kiwis in Canada but maybe there is another cost to ship them!
If you look at diabetes and obesity rate vs sugar consumption there's virtually no correlation between sugar consumption and diabetes, not even obesity. It's the seed oils the cause of both
I am learning so much from your channel. You have an easy way of explaining things. It's sad to see so many foods touted as "healthy" when they're really toxic. I'm changing my diet, but think it might be months before I see changes and I'm heartbroken that the standard American diet ruined my life while it's still being promoted.
Chris, jump into that keto approach and sprinkle in some days of intermittent fasting and you'll see results much more sooner than you expect. Incorporate some exercise with that and you'll be on your way!
Ditto
@@edcon99 I'm doing IF and OMAD about once a week or more if I can, Keto, cut sugars and carbs out of my diet as much as possible, Bullet Proof coffee, strength train at least 4-5x a week, and walk everyday.

I buy only olive oil, coconut oil and avocado oil. I used to used refined sunflower oil for high heat cooking, but switched to light/mild taste olive oil.
Tallow and ghee are far superior as they contain stearic acid and odd chain fatty acids and all the fat soluble vitamins: A,D,E,K2, not found in olive coconut or avocado oil
Avocado oil will withstand high heat better than olive oil.
@@carolinacadabra8278 most avocado oils are laced with seed oils
@@carolinacadabra8278coconut oil maybe better.
Let me clarify. I'm a vegetarian, so no animal fat for me.
For cooking and light sautee'ing, I use light/mild taste olive oil. It is versatile for different cuisines. I never fry or deep fry anything. It's extremely unhealthy.
For baking I like to use coconut oil or evoo. I don't bake sweet things very often and I use mostly fruit to sweeten and add a teaspoon of gur jaggery to a recipe.
For drizzling and salads I like avocado oil or evoo.
(Evoo=extra virgin olive oil)
I wondered about lard. My family and my husband's family consumed lard because that's what there was to use and several of them lived to 100 and more. Of course they didn't feel fry things or eat a lot of processed foods and sweets as regularly as they are available today. Thank you for your very important information.
I commented something similar to this above. Youre absolutely right. People used deer tallow where i live. I feel like we should revisit lard and tallow. Of course use those in moderation.
Right. My Grandfather lived to almost 103. Same lifestyle. They worked hard in gardens, on farms, etc for exercise daily. And those beans always were seasoned with bacon grease. 😂
Our life span is 120 years , see if you can max that out .
Hey Dr. Berg, 4th year medstudent here, going to be a Family Doctor Resident in 2 months. I would love to have you on my podcast sometime! Here is a rough summary of the video!
[00:00] - Differentiating between sugar and omega-6 seed oils
[02:05] - Industrial seed oils and refined sugar have negative effects on the body
[04:23] - Refined sugar is much worse than fruit sugar and can cause gum problems, depletion of vitamins and complications for diabetes.
[06:28] - Seed oils are prevalent in our diet and pose health risks
[08:30] - Avoid consuming foods high in omega-6 fatty acids
[10:30] - Choose pasture-raised organic eggs and grass-fed beef for better omega-6 to omega-3 ratio.
[12:29] - Reduce Omega-6 and increase Omega-3 intake
[14:20] - Omega-3 fatty acids are important because our body has difficulty converting precursors like Ala into DHA or EPA.
---------------------------------
Here is a more detailed summary for the video:
[00:00] Differentiating between sugar and omega-6 seed oils
- High percentage of sugar in grocery store food
- Importance of maintaining proper omega-6 to omega-3 ratio
[02:05] Industrial seed oils and refined sugar have negative effects on the body
- Industrial seed oils accumulate in tissues and deplete fat-soluble nutrients
- Refined sugar depletes B1 and competes with vitamin C
[04:23] Refined sugar is much worse than fruit sugar and can cause gum problems, depletion of vitamins and complications for diabetes.
- Consuming refined sugar can cause subclinical scurvy, which is characterized by bleeding gums and fatigue.
- Fruit sugar, on the other hand, has phytonutrients that protect against the complications of diabetes.
- Seed oils, which are highly refined and over-processed, lack phytonutrients and can create oxidation, inflammation, and pull things out of the body.
[06:28] Seed oils are prevalent in our diet and pose health risks
- Seed oils such as soy, canola, safflower, and sunflower oil are used in many condiments and salad dressings
- Restaurants also heavily use seed oils in frying and cooking, leading to possible health issues
[08:30] Avoid consuming foods high in omega-6 fatty acids
- Deficiencies in vitamins like B1, C, zinc, and magnesium can result from consuming glucose products while exercising
- The ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 should be 1:1, but the average person has a ratio of 25:1
- Grains fed to animals can also contain high levels of omega-6 fatty acids
[10:30] Choose pasture-raised organic eggs and grass-fed beef for better omega-6 to omega-3 ratio.
- Free-range non-GMO non-soy fed chickens produce eggs with a better ratio (1.3:1) compared to commercial ones (19.9:1).
- Grass-fed beef has a better ratio (2:1) of omega-6 to omega-3 compared to grain-fed beef (9:1).
[12:29] Reduce Omega-6 and increase Omega-3 intake
- Consuming nuts can balance out complications from Omega-6
- Refined foods lose protective factors
- Competitive nature between Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids
- Cod liver oil is a good source for Omega-3
[14:20] Omega-3 fatty acids are important because our body has difficulty converting precursors like Ala into DHA or EPA.
- Eating walnuts or flaxseed does not easily convert to DHA or EPA.
- Fish oils or eating wild-caught fish are good sources of Omega-3 fatty acids.
Thank you for doing such a great summary!
Thank you so much
WHAT A GREAT QUESTION! THIS IS THE QUESTION I RECENTLY ASKED MYSELF, AND I PERSONALLY CONCLUDED IT'S THE SEED OIL!!!!
Great info. Most restaurants and institutions filter used oil daily. The oil is typically replaced rather quickly (daily, in my case), depending on use.
I never reuse the same oil for cooking with it once lol
Next day oil in the pan for me is not fit to use, I've always felt that way
Watching your videos has saved our lives Dr. Berg and we thank you ❤
I believe he said monkfruit and stevia is way better than sugar but not Splenda equal or any others
Great Words.
Good morning and God Almighty bless you beyond measure today, Dr Berg and your family 🙏🏾💖
Very interesting video. I just left er and they couldn't diagnose my abdominal problems, diagnosed acute dyspnea and acute congestive heart failure. I have this symptoms attack me when having cottonseed oil cooked foods. Many are guilty in not telling you what it is cooked in. There needs to be fda warnings in stores or in restaurants need to have allergic in their menus or a sign when this oil is used. Weird thing is five patients came with similar symptoms in ER. They are sending me to a cardiovascular doctor and a gastrointestinal Dr. I honestly believe they to do an allergy test before treating any condition, as I don't have the much problems today, and it's day 6 since I had the last time I had something that cottonseed-oil. Been seeing this effect 4x times all the same symptoms, but no proper diagnosis, and leads me to believe it is allergic reaction which effects me internally.
Ive gone back to what my Nana did, using lard to make pastry. It's crisper, lighter and tastes wonderful.
I don't make it often,but i think it's what everyone did in her times as the alternative was butter and that wasn't affordable for her
There was a lady who lived near me who I knew, used Bear fat to make pie crust.
There’s a really good book called Deep Nutrition that really goes in on why sugar and seed oil is so bad for us. Absolute eye opener
Thanks for sharing!
I can speak from personal experience that eating plenty of fat( including oils)has absolutely no fattening effect if one does not eat sugar and carbohydrates. So fat( and oils) per se do not make fat, but combined with sugar and carbs, they are used by the body to fatten you even more easily. Sugar makes you fatter than fat.Thanks! This is very comprehensive.
Dora, WRONGand "fattening effect" is not the point of Dr Berg's video. Industrial Seed Oils are way worse that table sugar and the American Diet has Omega 3 and Omega 6 ratios backwards. So like Dr Berg says minute 9:40, seed oils (not FRUIT oils like avocado, coconut, olive) are MUCH worse than sugar Wach the entire video and then do your research
your experience is an N=1, not science and your "fattening effect" is not even the point of the video
@@KJB0001 Be happy and contented with your viewpoint. Beg to differ with you.
This has been my experience as well.
It’s NOT even about which one makes you FAT… Over consumption of calories (good or bad foods) is what makes you fat! Seed oils cause inflammation/disease, doesn’t matter if you are fat or skinny, they will wreak havoc on the body. Like he said, the seed oils can remain in your cells for up to 600 days, that’s almost 2 years!
I wish if Dr Berg can clarify if using sweeteners frequently can be as harmful as sugar or not. Thanks for the info Dr Berg 🌸
Yes try not to use much but a little will be fine. A monkfruit and erythritol mixture is my favorite
I already made my decision - NO sweeteners, whether termed "natural" or not. Just find a way to eliminate them all and adopt that as your lifetime mindset and never worry about the subject again. Easier said than done for most people, I realize its a struggle, we all deal with that "sweet tooth" desire/addiction to some degree. My strategy is to realize, we only need to find seven good meals and repeat them forever each week. It's not an insurmountable task and the results are plainly obvious for everyone to see!
@@asb3pe exactly
@@asb3pe Trying that as well. Still a work in progress.
use zero sweeters other than honey. And if you use honey, dont melt it in high temperatures.
Rule of thumb for the grocery store: Shop mostly the outer edges of the store, where the fresh and refrigerated items are.
This is so important to know, Dr Berg. Thanks for you continuous helpful advice 🙏🏻
Happy you found it useful! Be well!
I just so happen to be thinking this very topic the other day and I'm even more proud of the fact that I had the same reasoning you shared. For years now, I've been attending the school of Dr Berg Academy via TH-cam! So, am very educated, very informed.
One question though, when you mentioned best cooking oils. You included Olive Oil and I'm still confused on that one cause your last lesson was that it's not good to heat Olive. Also heard from other like minded that that study was repelled, Olive oil can withstand heat, so now am confused and been waiting for an update from you. Please shed some light.
I read a study recently that showed extra virgin olive oil is much more resistant to heat induced oxidization compared to other types of seed/vegetable oils. Also that you need to heat it a lot higher than its smoking point in order to induce it. I think the fears around cooking with EVOO are overstated. Just don't re-use the oil and keep your cooking sessions relatively brief. With that said, personally I still prefer cooking with grass-fed organic tallow and butter. I just think it tastes better with most things and is still probably a bit healthier.
@@MrFreeGman Highly appreciated.
Every American needs to watch this.
Thank you Dr. Berg! This is such an eye opener! I have been on low-carb living for years and it does wonders. But I never paid attention to the oil we use. I buy avocado oil for my cooking, and my husband buys vegetable oil. Guess what? He cooks much more often than I do! I have just throw away all the vegetable oil and hope he doesn't yell at me 😂😂😂
I wonder if Avocado oil is any better since it comes from a seed as well. I was hoping Dr Berg would have spoken about it in this video.
@@conniepoole3712 avacado oil still contains plant sterol it's hydrodized just like everyone seed oil.
The best idea is to eliminate all seed oil. U can use ghee or lard, those comes from animal fat which contains good nutrients and has high frying point
So much useful information. It's difficult trying to find something to eat when your schedule is so tight in time because of work and commuting to work. This helps. Thank you
I would guess the oils are worse? Thanks for such insightful health messages, always learn so much from you.
Your videos are like brain candy!! I just can’t stop watching them. I wish I had a dr like you. Keep up the awesome work. I’m going to start keto and IF. I am anxious to get your book and the keto kit I ordered. I should receive it tomorrow. I’m excited to get healthy!
Honestly both are very bad for your health but I would lean more towards sugar especially for people who are diabetic or pre-diabetic. I’ve been following this channel for almost a year and it’s has really helped with my weight loss. I’ve lost over 200 pounds since March of last year and one of the best things I’ve done in changing my diet is cutting off sugar and carbs tremendously. I tell people that I had to break up with the most toxic woman in my life and her name is Little Debbie.
Lol.
Little Debbie about killed me. She’s a wicked step sister.
Actually sugar is not the problem causing diabetes, it’s over consumption of calories in general
Wow, Dr. Berg. You really are introducing a new way of eating. No compromises.
An eye opener and honest video.
Thank you, have a nice day.
Oh my goodness Papa, I will keep Miss Elly in my prayers. Be careful what Miss Elly eats when she goes outside. Some plants she eats are not good for her. God Bless and let her rest. Miss Elly a lot of people love that little one.❤️❤️❤️
I had a BBQ the other day and I made ribs and due to the prices these days I bought commercial ribs and I didn't put BBQ sauce on some of the ribs but I couldn't eat the ribs because I thought about what the animal ate before it was slaughtered and i did not eat the ribs. I am so health conscience now but that's a good thing. TH-cam has given me the information to save myself from unhealthy eating.
You have changed my life seriously!
Happy to help!

I just got some 1st pressed, cold-pressed, non-chemical processed flaxseed oil and am really liking it mixed with lemon juice or apple cider vinegar on a leafy green salad. Delicious!
And thank you thank you for saying you'll probably never become diabetic from eating fruit. My eyes just don't feel the same unless I eat some orange fruit now and then. In fact, I've noticed differences in eye tests now that I'm eating sunny-side up, organic pasture-raised eggs and adding a clementine to those delicious green salads. Plus, the small amount of fruit offsets the flax/olive oil taste! Yummy.
Industrial SEED oil, even Flax, is worse than sugar And yyou can become a diabetic eating whole fruits AND develop NAFLD
Flaxseed has estrogen, don't be a woman bro.

Hi! Try Indian grocery stores. Some have many types of flat bread that doesn't contain yeast or baking soda. Chapati & roti are plain. There are whole wheat varieties. Don't get naan--it has yeast.
If eggs are allowed, cloud bread. You can grate cheese over it before baking. Melted butter with garlic afterwards.
Should I throw out any unused vegetable oil instead of trying to use it up ? I hate wasting but this might be one of those things I need to do. Thanks for the helpful videos.

I try to go 90%+++++ organic, but that isn't always possible when traveling. KETO is :)
Yessss. Just had a huge slab of wild salmon yesterday. $30 but worth it
I am not worried too. I don't go for any packaged stuff. And I use cocunut oil made in my house itself
@LuisC7 Good quality salmon is pricey. The canned version less pricey but hard to compare to fresh!
Wow Lucky you!!!!!! Isnt that expensive lifestyle to maintain tho!!!!
I have a question. Why do you stick strictly to extra virgin olive oil despite the fact that refined olive oil has basically the exact same fatty acid profile etc??
Before I learn something, my thinking on this is since sugar can be found in nature it's less bad than the processed seed oils
0:18: 🛒 The speaker discusses the prevalence of sugar and seed oils in grocery stores and their potential negative health effects.
3:44: 🍬 Consuming excessive refined sugar can deplete essential nutrients and lead to various deficiencies and health issues.
6:32: 🥦 The video discusses the prevalence of seed oils in our diet and how they are often disguised as healthy options such as vegetable oil and olive oil.
9:44: 🥦 The video discusses the negative effects of consuming foods high in omega-6 fatty acids and the importance of maintaining a balanced ratio of omega-6 to omega-3.
13:19: 🌾 Refining grains into flour reduces their nutrient content and can interfere with the balance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids.
Recap by Tammy AI
Thank you Dr for reminding us that we can have sweet things in a piece of fruit versus just plain sugar❤😅Yikes all these oils I guess I kind of forget about it but I am so glad I rarely go to a restaurant to eat out I just don’t feel comfortable there it seems fun and exciting to go out for a restaurant date but the food is not nearly as good as eating at home that’s for sure in your underscoring that thank you❤
Recently changed cooking oils from palm oil which has around the same amount of omega 6 as olive oil and went to coconut oil which has 5 times less omega 6 as either palm or olive oil.
Keep on doing what you do, Dr. Berg! Very good information!
Thanks! I appreciate it.
Your videos have opened my eyes to so much… Thank you Dr Eric ❤
You're welcome. Wishing you good health.
@@Drberg thank you, the videos are helping me so much. Wishing you and your family good health and happiness ❤️
When you go to the grocery store start with the entire outer parameter of the store.
Then you can go down the isles for your condiments.
I almost bought sugar yesterday Dr. Eric.
Get out of my head. 😆
Thank you ❤
Ive been listening for your videos for the last few years.
Learned alot, I tried keto, IF and so on much earlier in life than finding this channel.
I love the info you are sharing so it just resonates with everything I've learned by myself and tested.
I just have a question, can you do a series, or a prolonged video on how to balance a 5-7-10day plan of just carnivore diet.
I've been wanting to try that for few months lately, there is so much info out there, but I want my maximum workout performance since I'm a coach and move a lot. I was thinking as 4-5eggs a day, around 500g of meat (various parts of animals, liver, heart, brain, whatever) and 200g any kind of fish + butter, ghee, apple cide vinegar, omega 3, vitamin d3 (I've been using 10.000IU for 2years since hearing it from you and I haven't been sick since....I just drop to 5000 during summer if I'm exposed to sun that day more than 3hours). Is that enough or should I maybe throw something else in that?
Totally agree with you my aunt was go in U.S and she had 20 kilos after that she come back in France doc said she had a big problem hormone because food in U.S are sooooo bad if you don’t do attention thanks god I live in France ok have some food not good but i can choose my alimentation from organic food store have a lot in here . SORRY MY ENGLISH IS NOT WELL 😅
Awareness at its peak ... salute to u dr
I think it's a mistake to make it a one or the other issue. Both seed oils and sugar/refined carbs are bad on their own, but I think together they amplify their negative effects.
yep, agreed, its like trying to decide which form of murder is worse. They're both murder, case closed.
Dr Berg I wish you could do a video on this topic. I heard olive and avocado oils are bad also because they oxidize in the bottle. I heard this from multiple sources.
When you look back at the typically size of people in the 1960's. The number of clinically obese was a tiny proportion. That was when frying used animal fat Lard. Processed rubbish convenience food was rare to find. I feel sad for young men and women who are seriously overweight because it's unlikely to be due to overeating.
It essentially is excessive energy intake/overeating from refined grain and sugar beverages. There is much more snacking these days on "foods" that are not satiating and drive people into a grazing pattern.
Thank you Dr Berg. I had stopped cooking for a while because I was busy, then I got lazy. I’m cooking again.
Good. Stay safe and healthy.
If chips are THE WORST due to what they're cooked in, then seed oils are worse than sugar?
Oh how I'd love to walk the aisles of a grocery store with you Dr Berg and point out ALL the great 🧐 yummy foods 😂...haha
❤️🤗🙏
Now THAT would be a great video....but I doubt the grocery store would think so!😂
yes per minute 9:50
💓 thank you for exposing the bad with facts we can understand and use this information to make better choices with our dollar for our bodies.
Happy you found it useful! Be well!
Dr. Berg is the man! He literally has a video for every nutritional question you've ever had.
Except for low blood sugar and low insulin, he insists low blood sugar is caused by high insulin. If you can't eat everyday and sugary foods aren't a part of your regular diet, I guarantee your glucose AND insulin levels drop. There's no way insulin is even near normal if you haven't eaten in a day. His fixes do not work for me, I can't cut out the foods he says to cut out because I dont eat them in the first place. I need to increase both glucose & insulin quickly without eating a meal which at times is impossible.
I haven't watch all of it, but my thinking is as long as sugar is actual sugar not corn syrup, then it's the seed oil that's worse. I will change it later after I watch it probably.
Edit: oh, I am not changing my mind after all. Sugar can be taken care of easily even the refined ones. Seed oil on the other hand... well.
Please report on daily spreads...which are best/healthiest? Thank you so much for all your info!!!
Thank you for your suggestion, we will look into this for future videos.
Dr Berg is an amazing mentor and walking encyclopedia of brilliance
Thank you Sir for your help❤️
Could you please do a video about hypothyroid myopathy? A family member has really struggled with it & weakness in the legs causing him to collapse at times. It was misdiagnosed as cataplexy without narcolepsy. Thank you for all you do!!
It is like asking, which is worse, arsenic or cyanide. My father was a normal size diabetic by age 34. That was in the 60s when the food supply was better.
Sugar was called by its proper name of Sugar Diatetics. However we also know the seed oils cause damage to the pancreas.
I am also gluten intolerant. I hate eating out for a reason. At home I have control.
That's what I thought after being in keto for years while doing a lot of exercise. Adding a little bit of sugar didn't hurt so much. I like to keep my carbs healthy tho, because I rather eat a steamed potato for potassium rather than raw sugar or even white rice.
I don't have seed oils in my home. It's hard to go out to eat and know you're not eating something cooked in a seed oil though.
Don't eat out, cook at home.
Almost 100% that it is seed. Some of the fine dining most likely are using olive oil unless they're deep frying something
Beef tallow, duck fat, and butter. This is all I need. No oils.
I had arthritis pain for 30 years. I gave up added sugars 5 years ago and my pain greatly diminished. I gave up grains 2 years ago and my pain disappeared.
I want to know about sesame seed and grape seed oils -- are they bad like the other seed oils? They are seeds, but maybe not grains?!? Does it make any difference?
if it pressed then it 100% safe. if pressed and processed , then big NO
Thank you for sharing your knowledge 😊👍👏🙏
Thanks for watching! There's a whole bunch of people that need this information - so press the share button and let's get it way out there.
I love your videos, where I learned a lot about healthy food and diet. I changed mine almost completely after starting following you and Thomas on youtube 2019. and it works wonders for the RA I am going through. I have a question, I started using an airfryer 1 year ago. I read that Airfryers might cause cancer, I do not want to believe this. Do you have any research on Airfryers?
thank you for all information you are sharing
I've heard if you use an airfryer, make sure it's made of all stainless steel!
So glad i live somewhere where free range eggs and grass fed beef is easy to come by (grass fed beef is simply the standard here). I remember as a kid we traveled somewhere and i got a burger with grain fed beef. I couldn't figure out what i was eating, the texture and taste is so completely different.
Sharing Dr Bergs notes on Sugar vs Omega 6
Common seed oils are:
• Soy oil
• Corn oil
• Canola oil
• Cottonseed oil
• Safflower oil
• Sunflower oil
On average, we’re consuming way too many foods high in omega-6 fats. Ideally, a person should consume a 1:1 ratio of omega-3 fatty acids to omega-6 fatty acids.
However, the average ratio is 15:1. This imbalance can lead to all kinds of health problems, especially in the cell membranes.
Refined sugar also leads to health issues and is converted to fat, but the extra sugar doesn’t accumulate in the body like omega-6 fatty acids do.
Omega-6 fatty acids (seed oils) lodge into your cells and accumulate in your tissues for 600 days. They are not water-soluble like sugar is and can't be burned off like sugar can.
Both refined oils and refined sugar can deplete important nutrients. While certain whole foods, like fruit, have sugar, they also have nutrients and phytonutrients to help replenish what was lost and provide protection. But seed oils are a highly refined, over-processed part of a seed that doesn’t have any protective factors.
To make seed oils they also use a solvent called hexane to extract the oil from the seed-is it possible some of this solvent could end up in the oil?
Overall, while sugar isn't good for you, omega-6 fatty acids are worse for your health than sugar is.
Thank you Dr Berg!!
Don't forget that evaporating off hexane required high temperatures, depending on the oil, that could render it toxic before you even get it out of its plastic bottle..
I use olive oil most of the time, coconut oil also and only use sunflower oil for kettle corn.
I try to put omega-3 rich oils in every meal that has too much omega-6 fatty acids to curb the absorption of omega-6. It isn't always cheap, but is the best way. Thanks, Dr. Berg!
Some studies claim, the mix of omega 6 & 3's only prove to have the body process the 6's vs. 3's--as ea. competes for metabolic resources.
Thank you for your thoughts!
Totally agree with the 1st statement.Hard to find real food at the grocery store.🤔
I feel sooo bad about how the FDA doesn’t do anything about it , the get paid to do nothing , like with the pharmaceutical companies, the medicine side effects are worse then the illness. Thank you very much dr. For al the information.😊
You feel badly because you expect to be able to implicitly trust authority, and when they break that trust, its very sad and depressing to realize the truth... but it is perhaps one of the most valuable life lessons anyone can learn, which is, they really don't deserve our blind trust, they deserve much more scrutiny. Corruption between government regulatory agencies and corporate pharmaceuticals is an everpresent danger we face.
The pharmaceutical industry bought all medical schools in 1910 and is in charge of their curriculum. That’s when they began badmouthing natural remedies and pushing meds. Because a patient cured is a patient lost.
Dr. Berg, you are the best!! Your videos are for free and are of such quality. It' s amazing what you are doing. Thank you so much!
Thanks Dr Berg for your great presentations again and again. Could you give your opinion "What is about seed butters like sunflower, almond, peanut ?" Are they good or bad for consuming. Thanks for your response 🙂
Seeds that are just crushed are fine. Its the hexanes in the canola oils that are so very toxic
@@1111lizzard
All vegetable / seed oils are toxic
Thanks for the great video
Was wondering if “rapeseed oil” from countries like Denmark is considered bad too.
Also if you are very careful but occasionally have it by mistake as in (corn oil, or canola oil) happened to me today unintentionally 😢. Fried fish at a friends house.. thought it was olive oil initially. This would really take up to two years to be out of my system ?
Erucic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid found in significant amounts in rapeseed oil, from which canola oil is derived.
Love listening to Dr. Berg telling a story (experience) which relating to HEALTH of course~ 😉
I m diabetic already 20 years, i had big problems but now i can say, you and CBD save my life. Love love
