Dr. Ekberg, i will give your channel to my Cardiologist affiliate to the Heart Institute of Cardiologie of Montreal and the dietitician also affiliate to the ICM. And then ,we will have a good conversation. Thank you for the infos.
The CBC is an embarrassment. To literally play on consumer ignorance that is founded in what we now know to be nonsense, is not a trivial matter for a publicly funded broadcaster.
@@jmullins2008 I believe the ignorance (which exist in them) is the same that existed in ALL and every SINGLE ONE doctor that now lectures about Keto or any low carb eating (don't call them diets)... they believed at one point on the same Government Guidelines but at some point they saw the light and now they have became Jedi... We all believed at one point on the Mayo Clinic Diet, right?... toast, orange juice, grapefruit.. and so on... the Drs lied to us all!!!!.
Years ago my doctor prescribed Lipitor for a statin to reduce my cholesterol and triglycerides. Due to the cost of Lipitor, I petitioned my doctor to prescribe a generic statin instead. She insisted that I continue to use Lipitor. After the patent for Lipitor expired and drug companies could copy it, she had no problem with generic drugs. Learned later that Phizer was giving her perks like cruises and vacations to prescribe their drug. Follow the money.
I used to take my mother to her heart doc. At first I waited in the waiting room- later on she needed me with her. But those early days I recall seeing so many drug salesmen w/briefcases I wondered how he had time to see his patients!
Pharma owns the majority of docs - no doubt. Pharma doesn’t want you healthy. They benefit from your poor health. So does your doctor really want you well? Maybe, but they work for the enemy so trust them at your own risk.
I told my doctor about my high saturated fat diet, and what I eat every day. She was utterly horrified, but at the same time she was at a loss to explain why I'm so healthy. 😯
I truly appreciated this video. I’m a retired scientist living in Europe. Coconut oil, grass fed butter, wild caught fish, and grass fed meats are part of my routine diet.I still encounter critics who do not understand my choices and who are shunning these food that they need for a healthy lifestyle. A generation of misinformation has truly taken a toll. Thankfully, there are a few voices like yours that are slowly turning the tide. Thank you. Science matters.
God for you,living in a small Touwn can’t find Meat from Roaming 🐔 or other Meat what’s Healthy !Its for people in big city’s and big pockets only,it’s sad!Science does not know a thing,Human minds are always Limited,and make a big mess!They can’t see Beyond there Limitation
@@charlespackwood I take it three to five times a day. About 1/2 to 1 tsp per serving. Helps keep the colon lubricated and prevent constipation. It is also a very good source of fat. I take kratom for pain relief as a T2 diabetic (peripheral neuropathy), and it has helped make all the difference in the world in regards to becoming kratom constipated. Sometimes it just takes time to get used to MCT oil. However, too much at once will definitely upset the gastric system. As an aside, I also take the same amount of Moringa at the same time and that has done absolute wonders to bringing down my blood pressure.
That reporter is my entire family. What no one can argue with are my weight loss and the fact that of all my siblings I am the only one on no medications whatsoever. I just turned 69 and I'm in the middle of 7 sibs. My MD is very supportive of my keto lifestyle and checks my labs every few months. Pre-diabetes indicators have disappeared. I am a happy health champion and Dr. Ekberg is my guide!
That's amazing. You are fortunate to have a supportive doctor and the right info. I started omad and my blood sugar has gone high :( now I'm being told I have to eat more often and lose weight and I'm dejected.
@@ocharakau645 Watch more videos by this DR. learn how to eat Keto and why your sugar may be still high...stop listening to the Drs. out there..they go to school for 15 or more years and spend about 14 DAYS on nutrition...big pharma owns them ...medicine is designed to keep you sick.....find a good naturopath .... or just listen to this man and follow the plan...fasting really helps to lower blood sugar..I do IF (intermittent fasting) and have never felt better ...yes I cheat once and awhile ..and I know it...doesn't take much for your body to yell at you...LOL! do yourself a favor and stay away from the DR. you would be shocked to discover how many of them, would never put the drugs they give you, into their bodies!

You sir, are a National Treasure. Please keep these videos coming. I am 78 years old; have been eating low carb for twenty years; still lift weights and walk on the treadmill, and cut my own firewood. I watch every video you upload. Thank you for sharing medical knowlege and common sense.

Thank you for reaffirming how I have been eating since I was a kid. I get about 50- 60% of my calories from coconut oil, MCT oil, grass fed butter, bacon and bacon grease, grass fed beef, olive oil, avocado oil and fish oil. I grow my own fruit and vegetables and limit my bread intake. I avoid the common seed oils like soybean oil, canola oil, vegetable oil. and cottonseed oil like I avoid the plague as well as soda pop. My LDL cholesterol is 40-50 mg/dl, triglycerides 20-40 mg/dl, vldl cholesterol 3-15 mg/dl and HDL cholesterol 60-85 mg/dl. I feel good, I climb mountains, I am 71 years old.
@@flammaferus2998 Cotton seed oil is heavily processed and used to be used to lubricate heavy machinery. It's actually worst than canola. If you dig a little deeper, you'll find that high cholesterol is actually not bad at all as long as your triglycerides are in check.
@@jullianneavery4587they are not brainwashed for most of them. They have to be drug pushers......In some parts of Asia, doctors are pushing statin drugs like candy.
@@krissyr3393 I wouldn't use it for soap either, unless it's for washing the car, carpet, floors, etc. The skin is the largest organ and absorbs what you put on it. If you won't eat something, don't put it on your skin!
Right, porridge57! I watched the entire 5-day Internet seminar called, "Escaping Alzheimer's," and was surprised to learn that one edible oil we must STOP USING is canola oil. Apparently it is one of the many causes of Alzheimer's -- goes straight to the brain and damages it.
I'm 61, look way younger and am very strong and healthy, also eat very much like Dr. Ekberg recommends....use coconut oil, butter and avocado & olive oils for salads.....also do fasting....my grandmother used to feed me this way when I was a child, she was a peasant woman from Ukraine, but made food like Dr. Ekberg talks about and tried her hardest to teach her family about eating healthy, she also fasted regularly. (She hated margarine and called it poison; would not allow it in her house). I made some very bad decisions about food through the decades, but went back to eating wisely and now have regained my health and am slim again....my baba wil always be my hero and role model. Thank you baba and Dr.Ekberg!
I used to think of you as the best educator on the Internet. But things have changed after this video. I now consider you to also be one of the best health improvers, and even life savers, on the Internet! Keep up the excellent work! You are a very good friend.
You're spot on Doc, I'm a retired US Military Veteran living in the Philippines for over 10 years now and I can absolutely attest to the wonderful benefits of locally sourced cold pressed coconut oil. That gal trying to put VCO (virgin coconut oil) in a bad light either knows not what she speaks or a paid corporate mouthpiece to deceive the public in the name of profits over true health benefits. Pretty damn sad state of affairs if ya ask me. You're on the right track Doc, keep up the good work!
God didn't give us anything that would harm us. It's only when man changes the natural state of something it becomes bad. Processed foods are what's harming people. Eat what's in it natural
Most folk in England tend to use margarine when baking cakes simply because it's cheaper. As a child we used margarine as we were brainwashed into believing butter was bad. Thank you for your valuable insights.
McDonalds went from healthy rendered oil derived from lard or rendered beef fat they fried foods to crap. Because people demanded it. Much like everything else people demand because of pseudoscience.
& later a new product started being sold, called butter blend. Keyword: blend I'm not sure how much of it is actual butter but I'm assuming it's whipped oil with maybe some amount of butter & butter flavour/essence, especially unsure because there's 'vegetable' butter also being sold
I agree with that statement wholeheartedly!Dr EKBERG is very easy to listen to for many reasons. He’s calm and does not unnecessarily invalidate people He does of course invalidate stupidity and even that he does with thought and grace. He does not harangue the listener with his message. He try’s the best he can to stay simple; He’s not trying to prove to the listener how smart he is; his intention is only to help and educate so the we understand and with that new understanding we can go forward in life with healthy decisions. I consider it to have been a very lucky day when I accidentally came upon Dr. Ekberg! Thank you!!
I have brain injury, and yes, I will go back and watch this again a few times to ensure it becomes a story in my head that I can recall intelligently, but what I love, is that your pacing and emphasis is such, that what you say actually makes sense the first time around. I don't have to keep rewinding to comprehend some vital phrase. Thank you for that. 🙏
Well this Canadian thinks its total BS! I will continue to eat primarily Saturated fats of coconut, butter, lard and tallow; followed by a bit of olive oil and avocado oil. Throw away the canola oil, that is one of the worst things you can eat!
@@Jacare1973 I do not agree. It is a polunsaturated oil so the bond is fragile and damahes blood vessels and causes inflammation..that is aside from the bleach, deoderizers and other crap they put in it. Do not be fooled.
I come from Malaysia with a big family, 17 in all. I am second youngest n already 70 years old, my eldest sister is 92. We eat coconut oil n coconut products all the time while growing up.
@@rwilson7197 none of us are obese, all within normal weight. We are thin Becos we’re poor n it’s not easy to feed 17 mouths. We only eat chicken on occasions n eggs are luxury food.

I dropped my triglycerides by 599 in 3 months by cutting carbs, increasing healthy fats, and taking daily CoQ 10 and ACV. I'm not afraid of fat anymore, ( I'm very afraid of sugar! ) Thanks for the great information.
@@anandramalingam9240 mine was cut in half. I've don't keto before, I just fell off the wagon due to life stress. Got back on, 2 months and change ago. Doctor was very happy with my results . LDL down, Triglycerides down, HDL up, total down. Lower resting heart rate and BP, Lost 12 lbs.
My grandma and great grandma both lived long healthy lives and cooked from scratch mostly. They made pie crust and many baked goods with lard. They both saved and strained bacon fat to brown meat. People back then ate a lot of eggs, egg salad, omelets, quiche, etc The only sweets they consumed were homemade baked goods. Their beverages were coffee in the morning and tea throughout the day. Every time I watched them they were drinking water all the time and occasionally squeezed a little lemon in the water. Both were physically active into their 80’s. My grandma was up on a ladder cleaning gutters, mowing the lawn or shoveling snow. Back then ladies hung laundry on a clothes line and gossiped by the fence or do you remember the old “party line” telephone connections ? You heard the best gossip that way. Both avoided doctors like the plague.
I loved this video...I wanted to say something against the other lady's "expert" video advice....but this just says it all....thank you Doctor. Thank you Sir.
Ghee, butter, bacon grease (which is practically free) for us! Pro tip: If you want some coconut oil in your life, pick up a half-pound, $1.99 bag of organic unsweetened coconut chips at Trader Joe's. Low in sugars, very high in sat. fat, so much easier than splitting a whole coconut, super cheap and GREAT for snacking.
My family usually used coconut and coconut oil all the time when we were younger,but we moved and started using other oils.Over the years some of us started having complications,only to turn back to the things that we grew up on. My grandmother bless her soul,died at 103 yrs +some months. I have just subscribed to your channel.
"Saturated" is a very unfortunate and misleading term. The word "stable" would be much more accurate. Then we could refer to stable and unstable oils. That terminology better describes them.
I know the video has been out for a while, but I just want to firstly express my gratitude for all the videos you've been making. A very big thank you. Also, I'm so sick and tired of people that go around spreading false information and negative impressions on subjects they barely have knowledge about. Let me point out the reporter definitely isn't holding back on carbs and unhealthy life style, that's for sure.
About 10 years ago I heard that margarine was not really food and I had suspected something funny going on with this strange stuff, so I put it to the test. It was either spring or summer when I placed a good dollop of margarine on one saucer and a good dollop of butter on another, then I placed them in my shed. Every so often I would check upon my experiment, and it was then that I noticed the flies were only landing and eating the butter. Not one fly did I see, or ever see on the margarine. After some more time, the butter was turning mouldy, (as it should do being made of real food), however the margarine remained the same, only slightly paler looking. I think I left my experiment going for a good year. In the end, the butter had completely disappeared, whereas the margarine remained with the same volume, only resembling Vaseline. I have heard that margarine has more in common with paint than any food!! Your channel is fascinating and very helpful for those who want to eat the correct and healthy food. . Thank you.
Margarine turns your body cells into plastic then your insulin can’t get into them to start your engine. Olive oil is healthy and it’s water soluble and will go into your cells. Butter is a healthy fat. Cholesterol is like a liquid Band-Aid in your body and plugs the holes up and keeps your brain safe. Do not take statin drugs to lower cholesterol. That’s just to sell their drug *numbers.
I was also guilty until insulin resistance came my way. Until an issue does not touch you personally one does not give much thought to that issue. Thank goodness for people like Dr Ekberg
You mustn't forget most of these advices come from official institutes (WHO,...), so it has to be true?!? They should know it better but the don't. It's really not easy to find the right way to get to healthy life. Greetings from Germany.
Dr. Sten...I am from Montreal Canada. A couple of my friends saw this episode on coconut oil and called me up as they know I live a keto lifestyle. I was appalled to know that such information could be aired on a show that is well respected in Canada. I did my best to unravel the damage but better yet...i will forward your amazing video to them. Thanks for all you do! 🤗
Thank you Audrey. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. I recently got a comment from a viewer who like my explanations because they "coincide with reality unlike the advice from theoretically based experts." I think that is at the core of the problem. The "experts" don't look at how it actually works on people.
Hey Audrey! I'm from Montreal too. CBC is just another commercial network. It stopped being a "public broadcaster" a long time ago. I always found this reporter to be a self-conscious flake, and when I saw this report, it only confirmed my opinion.
When i was pregnant, I developed diabetes. They asked me to take nutrition classes. I was in the room and the doctor that was telling us (about 13 women) she sounded pretty much like the reporter he is discussing. I knew about Keto already since I had just came off of it when I got pregnant (big mistake, I should have stayed) story short, by the end after giving us a diet to follow, 12 of those women ended up with insulin, and 1 (yes, that was me!) dropped her insulin levels by following Keto again, and I didn’t need insulin after all. The food pyramid is a lie, the food recommendations for diabetics patients is ALSO a lie! My mother is a full on diabetic and the doctor is still telling her she can eat rice beans and tortillas just in moderation. Believe it!
You are correct that stopping keto was what did it. Being fat adapted over a long period of time on a keto diet means your body forgets how to manage carbohydrates. Suddenly switching would have been like throwing a none swimmer in the deep end of the pool and saying ’have fun’! As you went on to find, there’s no reason a mother can’t carry whilst practising keto but anyone who plans to return to eating carbs either needs to include small quantities with their normal diet or do a stepped reintroduction over a long period of time.
I am 72. Started Keto and IF 2 years ago. I've never been healthier! So amazing, husband went on it too.....less than 6 month he became healthier. Tried so many diets in my lifetime. This is Amazing. Energy, clear thinking and I weigh 105 lbs. 5'1". Hubby went from 205 to 175, more muscles!!
Good for you 👍👏I’ve lost weight and I’ve noticed some women follow me through the market to see what I’m purchasing - I’d tell them if they just asked 🤣
Never trust the mainstream media when it comes to politics AND health. I've lost almost 40lbs in four months on keto and stopped all my bp meds. This reporter could learn a lot.
Same thing happens with veganism and carnivore. But veganism is just unrealistic especially when it comes to history and oir digestive system, a lot on that diet end up with a ton of complications
I went on keto just as the quarantine went into effect. I lost all my excess weight and my MD took me off all meds. It's a year later and I will stay on a low-carb lifestyle forever!
@@Kismetsdream I use it coconut oil for my patient that has dementia and her cognitive skills improved tremendously. Also I use it for oil pulling and put the MCT oil in my teas or drinks although it unflavored it works great! Love it and will definitely recommend!
@@VS-qd3tz Apples and oranges. Dementia has to do with brain metabolic activity. Hydrocephalus has to do with excessive collection of cerebral spinal fluid in the brain/skull.
No. The idea that all experts are corrupt is dangerous and ignorant. It's what manipulators want you to think. The vast majority of experts are highly trained people who know what they are talking about. A relatively small percentage of them are on the wrong track or are focusing on a sub-problem and missing the big picture. The field of human nutrition, sadly, is rather enriched in that small percentage. The real problem is the trashy media (mostly television), not the experts.
Without any intent to be disrespectful, looks like the reporter could benefit from a LCHF diet; including more coconut oil. Btw, did anyone notice that the coconut oil buyers were all slender? Maybe she should have trusted her eyes instead of what she had been told.
Couldn’t agree more. I’ve lost 10 lbs eating saturated fats. Now, try as I want I can’t put on weight cos I cook everything with either butter, ghee or coconut oil/olive oil. Unhealthy? I don’t think so
Another great video. I’m Canadian and for the record, most Canadians don’t watch CBC reporting anyway lol. I’ve been on low carb, no sugar, no junk and a healthy fat diet that includes MCT oil for two months now. Lost a lot of weight, no inflammation, never felt better. But my doctor is concerned over my raised LDL, 168 in USA measurement, even though all my other metrics are excellent and never been better. He wants me to take a statin but I’m planing to have a more advanced blood test than what our healthcare system uses.
I follow Ekberg, Berg, Jason Fung and Bret Sher of the Doctors’ Podcast. All very instrumental in my changing my life. There are others too but have all the same message.
I never know whether to laugh or cry. Whenever I hear the term "bad cholesterol" or see cereal commercials advertising their heart benefits I at first wanted to shout at the TV. When coworkers tell me that the brain needs sugar, therefore you must have it in your diet, and that you need to lower cholesterol in any way you can, I have to bite my tongue. Finally, I decided it isn't up to me to crusade, but to just take care of myself. Much less stressful. Thanks for taking on the role of making the information available.
Steven Cannell I tell anyone that I see about the harmful choices their making. Bye the way, I'm keto. I'm planting seeds of doubt within their subconscious . Eventually they'll make a connection in the near future that they need to change their life choices in order to feel better . I coach people on healthy dietary living in Canada, and also life coach . The two go hand in hand on improving their physical and mental states . Most often I get a very positive response and other times people just ignore me. I'm just doing what I can to bring about the truth! One personal intervention at a time...
coconut oil is healthy but just be aware of increase in transient intestinal permeability with coconut oil ( in scholarly articles). But the beneficial effects outweigh the small negative. Paleo Medicina advises using only animal fats without coconut oil for that reason.
@@robertyang2864 After taking both MCT oil as well as using coconut oil on a daily basis for several months, I developed a pain on the left side of my chest which I believe to be an inflamed and perhaps stagnant lymphatic area. At first I was worried about the saturated fat in the oil causing a cardio issue, but then decided it must be something else. Like maybe the coconut products are killing candida, viruses, and bacteria in the area. Who the heck knows! I stopped taking all coconut products just to be on the safe side.
Our world desperately needs more people like you who is prepared to make the wrongs right despite the avalanche of money hungry companies who know very well how dangerously wrong their information is but their wealth comes before their morals and integrity towards the inhabitants of this world. It’s only through the likes of you that we become better informed of what is going on in the food industries. I’m am immensely grateful and I salute you as a hero 🥇 You are a lifesaver 🙏
I’m a Canadian and I don’t buy the CBC story. The media always has to make a story that gets peoples emotions going. My wife Debbie and I have been following your channel for about a year now and we love how you explain how the body works. Since we’ve follow good eating habits like you describe in your videos our health has improved significantly. We realized we had to get rid of the junk in our pantry and freezer in order to live a heathy life. Thank you for helping us make positive changes in our lives!
Group of doctors associated with business people are trying to destroy the coconut industry. Coconut have been used as food even during ancient times, another prominent scientists had medicated her husband from Alzheimer using coconut oil....
What an amazing video. Everything explained in clear and concise terms. Thank you for all the amazing work you do on YT to help us better understand our bodies, Dr Ekberg!
I don’t get it. I stupidly thought as an American that socialized health care would force the government to care more about their citizens’ health. Are they corrupted by industry as well?

Wow - I actually GAVE UP Coconut Oil precisely because of reports and stories like this that said it was bad for you. THANK YOU Dr. Sten for setting the record straight - based on science, physiology, and facts. Amazing and sad, I feel like we’ve been misled about nutrition and food for so many years. Love your videos! I am learning - or rather, un-learning and re-learning - so much!
Did the same thinks learning and than unlearning than learn the real true and in the process throwing food to the trash changing my position until finally finding the true and practicing .I love this doctor he is so kind patient and excellent teacher to explain so easy even a child can understand. Great full to learn from him.Thank you Doctor Sten !
Coconut has been there for thpusand of years. Ayuverdic medicine uses it. An american scientist uses coconut oil to revive her husband from braim disease. Tjat was documented. And now here, a doctor preaching and destroying its value....follow the money snd youll see the dirty sinister behind..
Thank you Dr. Ekberg! As a Canadian, I was truly embarrassed by this segment regarding the absence of "investigative journalism" that was done in preparation for that CBC report. None of what resulted came as any surprise to me given the shortsightedness of our Federal Government and its funded agencies (including the CBC). Thankfully there are resources like you out there for those of us that call the bluff of the government controlled national food guides and want to think way outside "the box". Thanks again and keep up the good work.
It kind of reminded me of the time the hospital Dietician who earns a nice fat paycheque told a group of cardio patients to only use coconut oil on the skin. I actually felt sorry for her because it just sounded lame.
The Guru of Kang They do use shampoo in Kerala too. Oiling the hair is to nourish it. Whether hair fall or graying of hair, coconut oil delays the onset of both.
After reading Dr Mary Newport's book on coconut oil and MCT oil effects on alzheimer's, I can tell you we put unrefined coconut oil in my Dad's food when he was experiencing the disease. Not a cure for us but a life quality changer. He was able to communicate again and walked better, got his humor back. . The difference was amazing!
I’m 74 and have all my adult life tried to eat healthy! I have learned more in this video about fats than in all my years previously. I’m in UK, it’s obviously the case that our NHS has NOT been advising us to eat healthily! Thank you for posting this video.
watched this a couple years ago and in the global health environment these days this is even more relevant. thanks for a great video and great explanations.

You're not just a doctor but a true savior to everyone that listen to what you teaches and i certainly love every single videos you made. Thank you so much.
Thank you Andy. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
I have watched many health videos on here and I want you to know that you are the only one I trust for the truth! Thanks for your research and honesty!
Had two tablespoons of coconut oil in my green tea this morning before seeing this video. In my tea I usely have one or the other coconut oil, grassfed butter, or Ghee.
Now I understand why I wander around looking for food when I eat sweets and carbs. The more you eat, the more insuline you produce and more hungrier you are. I used to be tired of the constant need of eating and recommendations to "eat less but more often", and obviously to "avoid fat and count calories"... What a torture. On keto we can eat less, more substantial (fat) food and being free from hunger most of the time.
Thank God for channels like yours, that explain the truth about food and nutrition. There is so much confusion because of all the lies we've been told over the years. Your videos are well done and much appreciated.
Thanks Dr. Ekberg for being a voice of reason! I'm now enjoying healthy fats, no longer obese, and finally recovering my fragile health after years of misinformation! IF and low carb keeps me from the constant hunger of my past. Autophagy is a wonderful thing!
Half a year ago I was interested in the chemical formulas for sugar and fat and petrol and diesel and how it converts to CO2 when being burnt and how much energy in joule/cal this releases. I learned a lot the hard way by digging through several web pages, I learned how fatty acids are chained together into triglycerides. So I could calculate that roughly that 1kg fat + 3 kg oxygen burns to about 3 kg CO2 and 1 kg water by releasing 9000 kcal of energy. I found information that coconut oil consists a lot of medium chained acids that are considered good for health, but without an explanation. You wrapped everything up in 5 minutes and added so much information about biology and about the things happening inside the body. This video was so enjoying for me to watch. It confimed my study was correct and you delivered so much additional information. The circle has closed - everything makes more sense, now. (Only thing I missed was information about trans-fat-connections vs unsaturated ones; especially after you mentioned already margarine. And as you know, margarine is one molecule away from being plastic, haha :) Thanks for all your effort for making those valuable content about health and for busting myths.
Excellent video. I will share this with family and friends. I learned a long time ago to not listen or act on everything you hear and see and to do your own research. Thank you Dr. Ekberg. You are a treasure. "The truth will set you free".
It is all a question of publicity-some people want to drive down the curve of coconut oil sales in order to boost the sale of some other oils, for purely commercial reasons. So, thank you very much, doctor, for making things clear !
That news reporter sure looks insulin resistant to me and could benefit from a ketogenic program. I would question her advice, because whatever she is doing is not working.
I have begun my intermittent fasting & I keep listening to all your vlogs filled with wisdom and take notes. Thank You for sharing your knowledge. Love from Stockholm ☀️
Great job once again. Without the intrnet and ppl like you Sten, this 60 yr young man would be very sick. I was on a fast track to metabolic syndrome. I had High BP, and sugar and my gut was huge. My HDL was 1 and for the first time ever my triglys were over two I watched a few carnivore vids and after watching several of your vids I started making progress. BP came down from 145/96 to 120/80 in a week with carnivore and IF and OMAD. My sugar took over three weeks to come down from 6,5 to 4,5 and now my ketones have been arround 1 to 3 . My viseral fat% has come down two% but is still 18 so there is a long waay to go. I was pleasently surprised one day when just after two hours after a meal my ketones were 2,1 and sugar 5,2 I+ve had the knowledge of Low Carb since 2006 and been yo yoing for years. Now I feel I finally have a grip on things good and I truly want to thank you for your fantastic videos. They give me a Stark( see what I did there) kick in the butt and every time I might be confused I turn to watch you. I wish you the very best and a big KIITOS Dr ROCK:)
Thank you Dr Ekberg for all your efforts to educate people on consumption of fat. I have been low carb/ keto for over a year and eat lard, butter, olive oil and coconut oil regularly. I have lost weight, and feel healthier than ever - I am 62!
Thank you Dr Ekberg for being so good at explaining difficult concepts and making them so digestible for the general public and for deciphering facts from myths
THANK YOU !!!! I watched that video and I was using MCT oil in coffee for an MS patient to help with memory. I didn’t quite understand what the difference was between MCT & coconut oil but the video made me hesitant to use coconut oil. Now it makes sense & that’s why I love your channel.
MCT is actually a "hidden gem" It helps body to utilize more fat as energy. It turned out it can reduce working fatigue, morning drowsiness, helps promoting brain function.
Hi I had the same issue when taking it. For me it went away after a few months of taking it. I lowered the amount until I didn't have an effect then gradually increased, seemed to get my body used to it. Now I take everyday in my shakes
@@ldjt6184 Well, the olive oil industry is not really part of "Big Ag" who often promotes that which is contrary to true human health. Olive oil is among the top oils to consume for health....
the way you unpack the gaslighting makes me think that you would be pretty good at dealing with narcissists (off topic I know - but it's soothing to see a balanced delivery like yours)
Thank you for making this video! I have recently made organic virgin coconut oil a large part of my diet and my blood sugar level has stabilized. I haven’t felt this good in years!
@Grace Elizabeth L Canadians arent against natural oils at all. I know many Canadians (Im one!) that consume Coconut oil daily. Dont confuse the Canadian people with our big state funded "news" organization that just regurgitates any info their handlers (Trudeaus Liberal Party) instruct them to without regard for truth or journalism.
@@MisterMonsterMan Couldn't agree with you more! I have spent years teaching all I come in contact with about Coconut oil and it's benefits....! Some just don't ''get it' and will not listen.....but I try...I'm the healthy one..they are on drugs and still they won't believe me... a few do but not enough....someone asked me 'are you a Dr..... my answer was no.... thank God .I would hate to be like the majority of them, pushing drugs and wrong diagnosis....thank goodness in the last 10 or so years many are learning outside the classroom and embracing more natural ways to treat illness. Many people are better educated in healthy lifestyles than the doctors .... I may go for a diagnosis, but I will fix myself ... thank you! Haven't been near a Dr since 1977 and that was for a broken back.... and I can walk \ run perfectly well ...contrary to their prognosis.... and all prescriptions went in the garbage btw
Very good information. I was miss diagnosed for 27 years. I was literally told I was just crazy, until I told a doctor what to test me for. I have Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. The doctors "treatment" almost killed me. I now take coconut oil and cod liver oil and avoid plant oils like the plague everyday among other things to treat it. Proteins and amino acids are so so important for basically all functions in the body! Please don't be afraid of healthy fat! Please be afraid of unhealthy fat!
Excellent video. I've known a lot of that for years, but not nearly at that detail. Thank you so much. One elephant in the room that just occured to me is the use of the word "fat". It's kind of hard to push any-saturated "fat" as good vs carbs and sugar when obese people are referred to as "fat". I'm mostly paleo, but not rigid. I eat grass fed butter, some grass-fed half and half with coffee, parmesean cheese, but that's about it for dairy. One other irony about the tv reporter, was that she did not appear to be eating healthy and was notably overweight. Guess she follows government guidelines for her diet. FDA is evil by the way; bunch of paid off beaurocrats.
I count on you with every video you edit. I certainly appreciate what you teach to me and my wife. That's why I cannot say any other word than "thank you very much indeed". Knowledge is essential for living longer and healthier. Since we changed our habits of eating we've become in better shape, I mean, no insulin, no cholesterol, glucose and depression pills. Happy one day I discovered your Chanel.
You just said what I want to say! I’m new to your channel Dr Ekberg, but I’m immediately hooked and literally visited your channel every day! I learned more than what I have learned in school and just so appreciate on the truth you have given us! Thank you Dr Ekberg! 👍❤️
Giving mct oil to my mother in law has had a tremendous effect on my mother in law. She was uncommunicative staring into space and within about a day on MCT she was sitting up and chatting to her family. On another subject I have ADHD and I have found MCT oil to be very helpful. Please do a video on ADHD
Yes! I have ADHD.Started looking into my diet because I turned 50 and fell apart.shoulder surgery and next is my hip/hips. I do wonder once I rid my pantry and fridge of all the poison how it will affect my ADHD. I bet it will in a good way! Take care!
My mother cooked with coconut oil and she lived to 96 just because she slipped on the slippery bathroom floor with her carer not around, and nothing on the wall or chair to hold on to. Before accepting responsibility to keep an eye on elderlies make sure you know the danger signs in the bathroom, bedroom, stairs and doors, kitchen etc.
I am following your videos for few months and I started to really understand our metabolism and being so amazed by the adaptability of our body. It makes me want to lear more! I am a french mother tongue but you explain so clearly that I am able to understand everything you’re saying. Thanks a lot for sharing this essential knowledge.
I’m just a high school graduate but I’ve learned a lot from your clear presentations. I’ve been diabetic for 15+ years, discovered low carb eating from several You Tube people but your channel helps me understand why my body works as it does as well as how. The Bible says we are fearfully and wonderfully made; I never connected with that til now. I appreciate your words about our bodies desire to keep us healthy and functioning well. I’m 77 and I hate that I’ve been a poor example to my family of good health habits, but perhaps as they see me gaining time alive, they’ll heed a warning about the American diet. Thank you ever so much.
@@itsbonkerjojo9028 she's 77... And at the original poster. Have you thought of doing keto to get rid of your diabetes? I was prediabetic and did keto for 3 months. It put me far off the radar of diabetes. I'm no longer prediabetic
Thanks for going into detail Doc Sten and educating us helping us make better choices. Ever since I have reduced carbohydrates in my diet, I have lost weight/body fat, not that I was fat or obese and now I feel much lighter when I go up a very steep hill that I use as part of a health guide. I go up now without panting and much faster and go further, ever since I drastically reduced sugars that is and added a bit of what is not recommended by the doctors likes this saturated fat, eggs, butter and so on. I must added, I do intermittent fasting too. Thanks once again :)

@Dr...Another great informative and educational video :)
The CBC is an embarrassment. To literally play on consumer ignorance that is founded in what we now know to be nonsense, is not a trivial matter for a publicly funded broadcaster.
@@jmullins2008 I believe the ignorance (which exist in them) is the same that existed in ALL and every SINGLE ONE doctor that now lectures about Keto or any low carb eating (don't call them diets)... they believed at one point on the same Government Guidelines but at some point they saw the light and now they have became Jedi... We all believed at one point on the Mayo Clinic Diet, right?... toast, orange juice, grapefruit.. and so on... the Drs lied to us all!!!!.
Dr. Sten Ekberg media is so of base its sad. The misinfo.
Years ago my doctor prescribed Lipitor for a statin to reduce my cholesterol and triglycerides. Due to the cost of Lipitor, I petitioned my doctor to prescribe a generic statin instead. She insisted that I continue to use Lipitor. After the patent for Lipitor expired and drug companies could copy it, she had no problem with generic drugs. Learned later that Phizer was giving her perks like cruises and vacations to prescribe their drug. Follow the money.
Oh wow
What happened to the Hippocractic Oath....disgusting!
Wow! Should’ve brought her up on ethics charges
I used to take my mother to her heart doc. At first I waited in the waiting room- later on she needed me with her. But those early days I recall seeing so many drug salesmen w/briefcases I wondered how he had time to see his patients!
Pharma owns the majority of docs - no doubt. Pharma doesn’t want you healthy. They benefit from your poor health. So does your doctor really want you well? Maybe, but they work for the enemy so trust them at your own risk.
I told my doctor about my high saturated fat diet, and what I eat every day. She was utterly horrified, but at the same time she was at a loss to explain why I'm so healthy. 😯
Probably your genes. Be thankful that you come from "good stock"!
The old science is just outdated and wrong.
most "doctors" do more harm than good
Love this 😄
Doctors are not going to make any money unless they keep you sick.
I remember the days when margarine was being pushed as the healthy alternative to butter!!!
It’s not in the past, they’re still doing it!
Me too! And they're still pushing fake 🤥 "butter" that's made with OIL as "heart-healthy". Sooo evil!
The American Diabetes Association STILL recommends it!!!
Yup .and it's trash .
Back when big pharma, mayo clinic Also pushed skim milk, low fat, low salt.
Yes this nonsense needs to be exposed. You are such a great teacher.
I don't like to use the terms, always or never, but the CBC is so close to always wrong and never right that the exceptions must be accidental.
I truly appreciated this video. I’m a retired scientist living in Europe. Coconut oil, grass fed butter, wild caught fish, and grass fed meats are part of my routine diet.I still encounter critics who do not understand my choices and who are shunning these food that they need for a healthy lifestyle. A generation of misinformation has truly taken a toll. Thankfully, there are a few voices like yours that are slowly turning the tide. Thank you. Science matters.

I drank some MCT oil prior to my workout this morning and I got diarrhea after my workout.
@@charlespackwood I take it three to five times a day. About 1/2 to 1 tsp per serving. Helps keep the colon lubricated and prevent constipation. It is also a very good source of fat. I take kratom for pain relief as a T2 diabetic (peripheral neuropathy), and it has helped make all the difference in the world in regards to becoming kratom constipated. Sometimes it just takes time to get used to MCT oil. However, too much at once will definitely upset the gastric system.
As an aside, I also take the same amount of Moringa at the same time and that has done absolute wonders to bringing down my blood pressure.
@@charlespackwoodPackwood That is a known side effect in some people. Instead of as oil it can be obtained from powdered goat milk too.
Agreed 👍🏽👍🏽🥥💯💯💯
That reporter is my entire family. What no one can argue with are my weight loss and the fact that of all my siblings I am the only one on no medications whatsoever. I just turned 69 and I'm in the middle of 7 sibs. My MD is very supportive of my keto lifestyle and checks my labs every few months. Pre-diabetes indicators have disappeared. I am a happy health champion and Dr. Ekberg is my guide!
Same for me
That's amazing. You are fortunate to have a supportive doctor and the right info. I started omad and my blood sugar has gone high :( now I'm being told I have to eat more often and lose weight and I'm dejected.
@@ocharakau645 Watch more videos by this DR. learn how to eat Keto and why your sugar may be still high...stop listening to the Drs. out there..they go to school for 15 or more years and spend about 14 DAYS on nutrition...big pharma owns them ...medicine is designed to keep you sick.....find a good naturopath .... or just listen to this man and follow the plan...fasting really helps to lower blood sugar..I do IF (intermittent fasting) and have never felt better ...yes I cheat once and awhile ..and I know it...doesn't take much for your body to yell at you...LOL!
do yourself a favor and stay away from the DR. you would be shocked to discover how many of them, would never put the drugs they give you, into their bodies!
I thought the name of the famous keto doctor is Dr Berg.
@@communityorganizer5645 He's one of many but he's become too commercial for me. He's also a Scientologist which is disappointing. Money is very important to them.
You sir, are a National Treasure. Please keep these videos coming. I am 78 years old; have been eating low carb for twenty years; still lift weights and walk on the treadmill, and cut my own firewood. I watch every video you upload. Thank you for sharing medical knowlege and common sense.

Same here. A few years younger though. Don’t even like eating sweets. Yikes. Candy? Never liked it.

Thank you for reaffirming how I have been eating since I was a kid. I get about 50- 60% of my calories from coconut oil, MCT oil, grass fed butter, bacon and bacon grease, grass fed beef, olive oil, avocado oil and fish oil. I grow my own fruit and vegetables and limit my bread intake. I avoid the common seed oils like soybean oil, canola oil, vegetable oil. and cottonseed oil like I avoid the plague as well as soda pop. My LDL cholesterol is 40-50 mg/dl, triglycerides 20-40 mg/dl, vldl cholesterol 3-15 mg/dl and HDL cholesterol 60-85 mg/dl. I feel good, I climb mountains, I am 71 years old.
What's wrong with cottonseed oil? Research has suggested cottonseed oil may impact human cholesterol levels more favorably than olive oil.
@@flammaferus2998 Cotton seed oil is heavily processed and used to be used to lubricate heavy machinery. It's actually worst than canola. If you dig a little deeper, you'll find that high cholesterol is actually not bad at all as long as your triglycerides are in check.
I believe you...wish doctors weren't so brainwashed
@@jullianneavery4587they are not brainwashed for most of them. They have to be drug pushers......In some parts of Asia, doctors are pushing statin drugs like candy.
Can confirm this works!
Canola oil is excellent! For lubricating my bedroom door hinges, that is.
@@krissyr3393 I wouldn't use it for soap either, unless it's for washing the car, carpet, floors, etc. The skin is the largest organ and absorbs what you put on it. If you won't eat something, don't put it on your skin!

And seasoning cast iron and carbon steel pans!
I used some on my tools as well when I switched to strictly Olive Coconut Oils & Butter
Right, porridge57! I watched the entire 5-day Internet seminar called, "Escaping Alzheimer's," and was surprised to learn that one edible oil we must STOP USING is canola oil. Apparently it is one of the many causes of Alzheimer's -- goes straight to the brain and damages it.

I'm 61, look way younger and am very strong and healthy, also eat very much like Dr. Ekberg recommends....use coconut oil, butter and avocado & olive oils for salads.....also do fasting....my grandmother used to feed me this way when I was a child, she was a peasant woman from Ukraine, but made food like Dr. Ekberg talks about and tried her hardest to teach her family about eating healthy, she also fasted regularly. (She hated margarine and called it poison; would not allow it in her house).

STEN ROCKS !!!
You're spot on Doc, I'm a retired US Military Veteran living in the Philippines for over 10 years now and I can absolutely attest to the wonderful benefits of locally sourced cold pressed coconut oil. That gal trying to put VCO (virgin coconut oil) in a bad light either knows not what she speaks or a paid corporate mouthpiece to deceive the public in the name of profits over true health benefits. Pretty damn sad state of affairs if ya ask me. You're on the right track Doc, keep up the good work!
yep!
God didn't give us anything that would harm us.
It's only when man changes the natural state of something it becomes bad. Processed foods are what's harming people. Eat what's in it natural
state and in moderation and you will be fine.
That Canada Food guide is obsolete!
I think I should give a Big Amen to this ^^
Most folk in England tend to use margarine when baking cakes simply because it's cheaper. As a child we used margarine as we were brainwashed into believing butter was bad. Thank you for your valuable insights.
Same everywhere.
My not was against margarine. Only butter in our home. That was in the Netherlands.
Margarine is filthy stuff, most of UK people were and perhaps still are very ignorant when it comes to nutrition.
McDonalds went from healthy rendered oil derived from lard or rendered beef fat they fried foods to crap. Because people demanded it. Much like everything else people demand because of pseudoscience.
& later a new product started being sold, called butter blend. Keyword: blend
I'm not sure how much of it is actual butter but I'm assuming it's whipped oil with maybe some amount of butter & butter flavour/essence, especially unsure because there's 'vegetable' butter also being sold
You’re one of my fav people. You’re very calming and not arrogant. Thankyou 🌸🌸🌸
I agree with this statement. I wish I'd been conscious earlier and learned a lot
I agree with that statement wholeheartedly!Dr EKBERG is very easy to listen to for many reasons.
He’s calm and does not unnecessarily invalidate people He does of course invalidate stupidity and even that he does with thought and grace. He does not harangue the listener with his message. He try’s the best he can to stay simple; He’s not trying to prove to the listener how smart he is; his intention is only to help and educate so the we understand and with that new understanding we can go forward in life with healthy decisions. I consider it to have been a very lucky day when I accidentally came upon Dr. Ekberg! Thank you!!
I have brain injury, and yes, I will go back and watch this again a few times to ensure it becomes a story in my head that I can recall intelligently, but what I love, is that your pacing and emphasis is such, that what you say actually makes sense the first time around. I don't have to keep rewinding to comprehend some vital phrase.
Thank you for that. 🙏
Well this Canadian thinks its total BS! I will continue to eat primarily Saturated fats of coconut, butter, lard and tallow; followed by a bit of olive oil and avocado oil. Throw away the canola oil, that is one of the worst things you can eat!
Thank you Canadian dana102083.😄
Coconut oil , if you value your heart don’t use it ! The truth will show one day !
Sad part is that canola oil is healthy, unfortunately it’s over processed to the point for being useless.
@@Jacare1973 I do not agree. It is a polunsaturated oil so the bond is fragile and damahes blood vessels and causes inflammation..that is aside from the bleach, deoderizers and other crap they put in it. Do not be fooled.

My grandma and great grandma both lived long healthy lives and cooked from scratch mostly. They made pie crust and many baked goods with lard. They both saved and strained bacon fat to brown meat. People back then ate a lot of eggs, egg salad, omelets, quiche, etc The only sweets they consumed were homemade baked goods. Their beverages were coffee in the morning and tea throughout the day. Every time I watched them they were drinking water all the time and occasionally squeezed a little lemon in the water. Both were physically active into their 80’s. My grandma was up on a ladder cleaning gutters, mowing the lawn or shoveling snow.
Back then ladies hung laundry on a clothes line and gossiped by the fence or do you remember the old “party line” telephone connections ? You heard the best gossip that way.
Both avoided doctors like the plague.
That's before they started putting their poison in our food!
It's different now.Young people die earlier than their parents.
Yes Drs we’re treated with great skepticism and to be avoided like the plague!! Personally I still feel like that about some.
Yes, 'like the plague'!
I loved this video...I wanted to say something against the other lady's "expert" video advice....but this just says it all....thank you Doctor. Thank you Sir.
I love cooking with coconut oil except for eggs. Eggs were made for real butter.
Lol! I totally agree..taste so much better..
Agree ... But try lard 🙂
@BestGirl for taste and health I personally prefer butter.
@BestGirl ghee is a little out of my price range range now :)
Ghee, butter, bacon grease (which is practically free) for us!
Pro tip: If you want some coconut oil in your life, pick up a half-pound, $1.99 bag of organic unsweetened coconut chips at Trader Joe's. Low in sugars, very high in sat. fat, so much easier than splitting a whole coconut, super cheap and GREAT for snacking.
My family usually used coconut and coconut oil all the time when we were younger,but we moved and started using other oils.Over the years some of us started having complications,only to turn back to the things that we grew up on.
My grandmother bless her soul,died at 103 yrs +some months.
I have just subscribed to your channel.
"Saturated" is a very unfortunate and misleading term. The word "stable" would be much more accurate. Then we could refer to stable and unstable oils. That terminology better describes them.
Just like thugs are called SJW!
Hey thats correct terminology that stable fats
problem is big pharma and big ag don't want truth and accuracy its about money
It would mean that people would actually have to understand simple chemical structure.
I will try to keep that concept in my mind, stable versus unstable fats.
I know the video has been out for a while, but I just want to firstly express my gratitude for all the videos you've been making. A very big thank you. Also, I'm so sick and tired of people that go around spreading false information and negative impressions on subjects they barely have knowledge about. Let me point out the reporter definitely isn't holding back on carbs and unhealthy life style, that's for sure.
You noticed that too, huh? 😄
About 10 years ago I heard that margarine was not really food and I had suspected something funny going on with this strange stuff, so I put it to the test. It was either spring or summer when I placed a good dollop of margarine on one saucer and a good dollop of butter on another, then I placed them in my shed. Every so often I would check upon my experiment, and it was then that I noticed the flies were only landing and eating the butter. Not one fly did I see, or ever see on the margarine. After some more time, the butter was turning mouldy, (as it should do being made of real food), however the margarine remained the same, only slightly paler looking. I think I left my experiment going for a good year. In the end, the butter had completely disappeared, whereas the margarine remained with the same volume, only resembling Vaseline. I have heard that margarine has more in common with paint than any food!! Your channel is fascinating and very helpful for those who want to eat the correct and healthy food. . Thank you.
Margarine turns your body cells into plastic then your insulin can’t get into them to start your engine. Olive oil is healthy and it’s water soluble and will go into your cells. Butter is a healthy fat. Cholesterol is like a liquid Band-Aid in your body and plugs the holes up and keeps your brain safe. Do not take statin drugs to lower cholesterol. That’s just to sell their drug *numbers.
It's has something called plasticisors in it

I was appalled to know that such information could be aired on a show that is well respected in Canada. I did my best to unravel the damage but better yet...i will forward your amazing video to them. Thanks for all you do! 🤗
Yes, please forward it to them! One step at a time to debunk the "low fat" dietary theory, yielding hundreds of millions of diabetics.
Thank you Audrey. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. I recently got a comment from a viewer who like my explanations because they "coincide with reality unlike the advice from theoretically based experts." I think that is at the core of the problem. The "experts" don't look at how it actually works on people.

Hey Audrey! I'm from Montreal too. CBC is just another commercial network. It stopped being a "public broadcaster" a long time ago. I always found this reporter to be a self-conscious flake, and when I saw this report, it only confirmed my opinion.
When i was pregnant, I developed diabetes. They asked me to take nutrition classes. I was in the room and the doctor that was telling us (about 13 women) she sounded pretty much like the reporter he is discussing. I knew about Keto already since I had just came off of it when I got pregnant (big mistake, I should have stayed) story short, by the end after giving us a diet to follow, 12 of those women ended up with insulin, and 1 (yes, that was me!) dropped her insulin levels by following Keto again, and I didn’t need insulin after all. The food pyramid is a lie, the food recommendations for diabetics patients is ALSO a lie! My mother is a full on diabetic and the doctor is still telling her she can eat rice beans and tortillas just in moderation. Believe it!
You are correct that stopping keto was what did it.
Being fat adapted over a long period of time on a keto diet means your body forgets how to manage carbohydrates. Suddenly switching would have been like throwing a none swimmer in the deep end of the pool and saying ’have fun’!
As you went on to find, there’s no reason a mother can’t carry whilst practising keto but anyone who plans to return to eating carbs either needs to include small quantities with their normal diet or do a stepped reintroduction over a long period of time.
Food plate, pyramid is long gone and full of crap.

Never trust the mainstream media when it comes to politics AND health. I've lost almost 40lbs in four months on keto and stopped all my bp meds. This reporter could learn a lot.
True that!
Same thing happens with veganism and carnivore. But veganism is just unrealistic especially when it comes to history and oir digestive system, a lot on that diet end up with a ton of complications
I went on keto just as the quarantine went into effect. I lost all my excess weight and my MD took me off all meds. It's a year later and I will stay on a low-carb lifestyle forever!

No. The idea that all experts are corrupt is dangerous and ignorant. It's what manipulators want you to think. The vast majority of experts are highly trained people who know what they are talking about. A relatively small percentage of them are on the wrong track or are focusing on a sub-problem and missing the big picture. The field of human nutrition, sadly, is rather enriched in that small percentage. The real problem is the trashy media (mostly television), not the experts.

Without any intent to be disrespectful, looks like the reporter could benefit from a LCHF diet; including more coconut oil. Btw, did anyone notice that the coconut oil buyers were all slender? Maybe she should have trusted her eyes instead of what she had been told.
Shashi Jairam. Agreed :) c.
Couldn’t agree more. I’ve lost 10 lbs eating saturated fats. Now, try as I want I can’t put on weight cos I cook everything with either butter, ghee or coconut oil/olive oil. Unhealthy? I don’t think so
I would love to see those buyers again after 2 yrs. I wonder what they will look like

Another great video. I’m Canadian and for the record, most Canadians don’t watch CBC reporting anyway lol. I’ve been on low carb, no sugar, no junk and a healthy fat diet that includes MCT oil for two months now. Lost a lot of weight, no inflammation, never felt better. But my doctor is concerned over my raised LDL, 168 in USA measurement, even though all my other metrics are excellent and never been better. He wants me to take a statin but I’m planing to have a more advanced blood test than what our healthcare system uses.
I advise you to take B3 niacin with an effective flash treatment Ldl
What is the additional test name please?
Statin studies were exposed…perhaps see Dr. Assem malhotra, from Uk.
You and Dr. Berg have saved my life. I had a fatty liver and it's healing now.
Congrats 🎈🎉🍾
they should do a collab
I follow Ekberg, Berg, Jason Fung and Bret Sher of the Doctors’ Podcast. All very instrumental in my changing my life. There are others too but have all the same message.

How to heal
I never know whether to laugh or cry. Whenever I hear the term "bad cholesterol" or see cereal commercials advertising their heart benefits I at first wanted to shout at the TV. When coworkers tell me that the brain needs sugar, therefore you must have it in your diet, and that you need to lower cholesterol in any way you can, I have to bite my tongue. Finally, I decided it isn't up to me to crusade, but to just take care of myself. Much less stressful. Thanks for taking on the role of making the information available.
Thank you Reverend Rusty. I know what you mean. You help those who are ready only. It's way too much stress otherwise
Great comment Reverend. Its their health that will suffer. Their wake up call will come soon. Great video Dr. E......

I tell anyone that I see about the harmful choices their making. Bye the way, I'm keto. I'm planting seeds of doubt within their subconscious . Eventually they'll make a connection in the near future that they need to change their life choices in order to feel better . I coach people on healthy dietary living in Canada, and also life coach . The two go hand in hand on improving their physical and mental states . Most often I get a very positive response and other times people just ignore me. I'm just doing what I can to bring about the truth! One personal intervention at a time...
Reverend Rusty I feel your pain!
Amen!! I stopped advocating for everyone else's health, I just advocate for mine 😁
Thank you! I have my coconut oil and MCT everyday and love it. Keto has been the best thing I’ve ever done for myself.
Thank you AmyBEgirl. Good for you
coconut oil is healthy but just be aware of increase in transient intestinal permeability with coconut oil ( in scholarly articles). But the beneficial effects outweigh the small negative. Paleo Medicina advises using only animal fats without coconut oil for that reason.
Amy Begirl, you are in for a rude Awakening, when the Coconut Sludge starts to stick too your Arteries ,only than will you understand.....
Matt White Are you a doctor/researcher?
@@robertyang2864 After taking both MCT oil as well as using coconut oil on a daily basis for several months, I developed a pain on the left side of my chest which I believe to be an inflamed and perhaps stagnant lymphatic area. At first I was worried about the saturated fat in the oil causing a cardio issue, but then decided it must be something else. Like maybe the coconut products are killing candida, viruses, and bacteria in the area. Who the heck knows! I stopped taking all coconut products just to be on the safe side.
Our world desperately needs more people like you who is prepared to make the wrongs right despite the avalanche of money hungry companies who know very well how dangerously wrong their information is but their wealth comes before their morals and integrity towards the inhabitants of this world.

My wife Debbie and I have been following your channel for about a year now and we love how you explain how the body works.

We realized we had to get rid of the junk in our pantry and freezer in order to live a heathy life.

I love seeing an overweight reporter lecturing those with healthy weights, on what is healthy to eat.

I also told my Cardiac doctor during a check up that the Canadian Food Guide was a huge piece of lying propaganda, he agreed with me 100% !

Wow - I actually GAVE UP Coconut Oil precisely because of reports and stories like this that said it was bad for you. THANK YOU Dr. Sten for setting the record straight - based on science, physiology, and facts.
Amazing and sad, I feel like we’ve been misled about nutrition and food for so many years. Love your videos! I am learning - or rather, un-learning and re-learning - so much!
Stop paying for cable and movies. It is junk for your brain.
Did the same thinks learning and than unlearning than learn the real true and in the process throwing food to the trash changing my position until finally finding the true and practicing .I love this doctor he is so kind patient and excellent teacher to explain so easy even a child can understand.
Great full to learn from him.Thank you Doctor Sten !
Mct is a god send....

Coconut has been there for thpusand of years. Ayuverdic medicine uses it. An american scientist uses coconut oil to revive her husband from braim disease. Tjat was documented. And now here, a doctor preaching and destroying its value....follow the money snd youll see the dirty sinister behind..
Thank you Dr. Ekberg! As a Canadian, I was truly embarrassed by this segment regarding the absence of "investigative journalism" that was done in preparation for that CBC report. None of what resulted came as any surprise to me given the shortsightedness of our Federal Government and its funded agencies (including the CBC). Thankfully there are resources like you out there for those of us that call the bluff of the government controlled national food guides and want to think way outside "the box". Thanks again and keep up the good work.
It kind of reminded me of the time the hospital Dietician who earns a nice fat paycheque told a group of cardio patients to only use coconut oil on the skin. I actually felt sorry for her because it just sounded lame.
I am from Kerala (southern part of India) and for us Coconut oil is a lifestyle. From our food to our hair, we have been using it from centuries.
The Guru of Kang They do use shampoo in Kerala too. Oiling the hair is to nourish it. Whether hair fall or graying of hair, coconut oil delays the onset of both.
Yea I know .
since coconut oil had a thousand year run as a good oil and 50 years of bs science as a bad oil.i'll listen to the thousand year study.
Right on.
Exactly, that's what I say in my comment too.. Logical and unbeatable coconut!!
Probably because of the ketones
Thanks for taking the time to the debunk this foolishness! Great job as usual Dr Ekberg!!!!❤🧡❤
After reading Dr Mary Newport's book on coconut oil and MCT oil effects on alzheimer's, I can tell you we put unrefined coconut oil in my Dad's food when he was experiencing the disease. Not a cure for us but a life quality changer. He was able to communicate again and walked better, got his humor back. . The difference was amazing!

"Your INSULIN dictates your HUNGER."
*Dr. Ekberg 2019.
❤❤❤
This motivated to move forward!
I mean to do keto forever!
Thanks Dr. Sten Ekberg
Now I understand why I wander around looking for food when I eat sweets and carbs. The more you eat, the more insuline you produce and more hungrier you are.
I used to be tired of the constant need of eating and recommendations to "eat less but more often", and obviously to "avoid fat and count calories"... What a torture. On keto we can eat less, more substantial (fat) food and being free from hunger most of the time.
Don’t be so sure those “costumers” aren’t actors themselves. And yes, I said costumers on purpose.
Or screen people
LOL! Good one!
Thank God for channels like yours, that explain the truth about food and nutrition. There is so much confusion because of all the lies we've been told over the years. Your videos are well done and much appreciated.
Thanks Dr. Ekberg for being a voice of reason! I'm now enjoying healthy fats, no longer obese, and finally recovering my fragile health after years of misinformation! IF and low carb keeps me from the constant hunger of my past. Autophagy is a wonderful thing!
Half a year ago I was interested in the chemical formulas for sugar and fat and petrol and diesel and how it converts to CO2 when being burnt and how much energy in joule/cal this releases. I learned a lot the hard way by digging through several web pages, I learned how fatty acids are chained together into triglycerides. So I could calculate that roughly that 1kg fat + 3 kg oxygen burns to about 3 kg CO2 and 1 kg water by releasing 9000 kcal of energy. I found information that coconut oil consists a lot of medium chained acids that are considered good for health, but without an explanation.
You wrapped everything up in 5 minutes and added so much information about biology and about the things happening inside the body. This video was so enjoying for me to watch. It confimed my study was correct and you delivered so much additional information. The circle has closed - everything makes more sense, now.
(Only thing I missed was information about trans-fat-connections vs unsaturated ones; especially after you mentioned already margarine. And as you know, margarine is one molecule away from being plastic, haha :)
Thanks for all your effort for making those valuable content about health and for busting myths.
Excellent video. I will share this with family and friends. I learned a long time ago to not listen or act on everything you hear and see and to do your own research. Thank you Dr. Ekberg. You are a treasure. "The truth will set you free".
It is all a question of publicity-some people want to drive down the curve of coconut oil sales in order to boost the sale of some other oils, for purely commercial reasons. So, thank you very much, doctor, for making things clear !
That news reporter sure looks insulin resistant to me and could benefit from a ketogenic program. I would question her advice, because whatever she is doing is not working.
Good point!
Agree totally 👍 being 20% overweight has become the new normal, everything is upside down 🙃

Great job once again. Without the intrnet and ppl like you Sten, this 60 yr young man would be very sick. I was on a fast track to metabolic syndrome. I had High BP, and sugar and my gut was huge. My HDL was 1 and for the first time ever my triglys were over two I watched a few carnivore vids and after watching several of your vids I started making progress. BP came down from 145/96 to 120/80 in a week with carnivore and IF and OMAD. My sugar took over three weeks to come down from 6,5 to 4,5 and now my ketones have been arround 1 to 3 . My viseral fat% has come down two% but is still 18 so there is a long waay to go. I was pleasently surprised one day when just after two hours after a meal my ketones were 2,1 and sugar 5,2 I+ve had the knowledge of Low Carb since 2006 and been yo yoing for years. Now I feel I finally have a grip on things good and I truly want to thank you for your fantastic videos. They give me a Stark( see what I did there) kick in the butt and every time I might be confused I turn to watch you. I wish you the very best and a big KIITOS Dr ROCK:)

MCT is actually a "hidden gem"
It helps body to utilize more fat as energy. It turned out it can reduce working fatigue, morning drowsiness, helps promoting brain function.

Very good information. I was miss diagnosed for 27 years. I was literally told I was just crazy, until I told a doctor what to test me for. I have Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. The doctors "treatment" almost killed me. I now take coconut oil and cod liver oil and avoid plant oils like the plague everyday among other things to treat it. Proteins and amino acids are so so important for basically all functions in the body! Please don't be afraid of healthy fat! Please be afraid of unhealthy fat!
Excellent video. I've known a lot of that for years, but not nearly at that detail. Thank you so much. One elephant in the room that just occured to me is the use of the word "fat". It's kind of hard to push any-saturated "fat" as good vs carbs and sugar when obese people are referred to as "fat". I'm mostly paleo, but not rigid. I eat grass fed butter, some grass-fed half and half with coffee, parmesean cheese, but that's about it for dairy. One other irony about the tv reporter, was that she did not appear to be eating healthy and was notably overweight. Guess she follows government guidelines for her diet. FDA is evil by the way; bunch of paid off beaurocrats.

I go up now without panting and much faster and go further, ever since I drastically reduced sugars that is and added a bit of what is not recommended by the doctors likes this saturated fat, eggs, butter and so on. I must added, I do intermittent fasting too. Thanks once again :)
