I think it's important to emphasize that when they say meat increases your risk for some disease by 19%, that doesn't mean if your current risk was 1%, it's now 20%. It's 1.19%. When people hear that statement, "increases by 19%", they think (MyCurrentRisk)+19. Not (MyCurrentRisk)*1.19... which is what they should be thinking. Relative risk is a hard concept to grasp for a lot of people.
Well, most ppl think math is useless so its really no surprise they can't understand the difference between additive and multiplicative percentage increases lol
"This sounds alarming, but before we panic, let's look at how the studies were conducted..." every nutrition science article should be followed by this
Also the % are useless information to us, we don't know what they correlate to, 29% higher chance of cancer could be anything, if the original chance was 1% then it's now 1.29%, or it could be full on 29%, or even 0.0029% The info is meant to sound alarming, it's meant to scare us, but in reality the numbers have no meaning on an individual person, it's only meaningful on a society scale, and only when all of the numbers are proven, and explained.
@@ForgottenT In health, a 'risk increase by 10% or above' - no matter what the original risk was - is considered a significant concern, because of the many other factors that can contribute to the disease.
Yeah although it’s helpful, you’re not supposed to associate any type of emotion in your studies (for chance of emotional bias in your report) unless you’re writing a follow up report to your studies
The dairy industry is very ominous tbh. They PAID for the former Canadian food guide to push dairy products instead of following the actual science and they mistreat animals AND their workers. Buy from local small dairy farmers when you can! ... coconut milk is also way more delicious and creamy than cow's milk though I've yet to find a good alternative to dairy cheeses :(
I like how at 5:50 the computer changes since their studies were 20 years and the technology changed during that time, just love the small details like that in kurgezagt videos
This channel and the team behind it; you really know the ideal way to use the world wide web so effectively and as intended. To share knowledge. Thank you Kerzgesagt!
@@freeEnd_ he never said that it isnt important tho, while i do think that saying that the internet is intended to share knowledge is kinda wrong he never really said that the internet should never be used for relaxation, this (i think) is an example of the straw man falacy where one individual assumes that another has a trait or idea based on another trait/idea that are unrelated (srry for bad english, it isnt my main language)

I love how there is a growing number of "we discussed this in another video"-references. Imagine in 20 years there will be basically a "How to humanity" by kurzgesagt!
I've been vegeterian for the past 4+ years(I still eat fish every once in a while) and honestly I feel pretty normal. But the fact is even before I went full on, I didn't like meat at all(which in my country is considered very weird) so it wasn't that hard for me to switch. But I think it really depends on your taste, habits, surroundings and sime other factors whether you will consume a lot of meat. And honestly, I don't judge people who eat meat, because as Kurzgesagt pointed out, it has its health benefits. Heck, even within my own family there are people on both sides and we still sit down and eat on the same table. I just wish non-vegeterians would treat me the same way too and I stop recieving weird looks when I tell other people I don't eat meat, because it's really annoying.
@@IgnoreMeImWrong No I have not and I don't think I will. Although my dad has been vegan for a few years now and feels great about it, I don't think I have the will to deprive myself from stuff I like so much like cheese, milk, eggs, etc.
@@samihamchev9528 Completely agree with you, here in India we have 276 million vegetarians and every single one of them consume dairy products. For western countries vegetarianism means eating raw vegetables, at least that's what they think. Here we have so many flavours to choose from and vegetarian food has more varieties than non vegetarian in my country. Secondly, vegetables are like 3 time's as cheap here.
it still confuses me that there are a lot of people who dont understand difference between vegetarian and vegan.... i can personally say that i once tried being vegetarian but did not realize that as a meat eater you have to slowly adapt so uhh i failed really really fast but managed to hold that status for 15 days (Btw its spelled vegetarian i searched up in the dictionary)
You can actually chew on coca leaves or make a herbal infusion of it that has stimulating properties of similar strength to coffee and you should be fine. Snorting any amount of purified coke will damage the mucous membrane in your nostrils, though.
I suffered from metabolic syndrome (obesity, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and high blood sugar). I went whole food plant based no sugar or oil and low salt and I lost 65 pounds, all my conditions greatly improved, my gums stopped bleeding, and erections and energy returned. I used to have an appetite that was never satisfied; whole foods cured it. I no longer use a sleep apnea machine. Finally, the food is cheap-Beans, lentils, sprouted flourless grain bread, rice, oats, potatoes and seasonal apples. Also, I save money by not having to buy pills or visit the Doctor. I am thankful to all the vegans who suffered attacks to reveal the truth to me.
can be good or bad, IMO they could have least mentioned that this video "is sponsored by..." or somethin like that at the beginning of the ad (I just rewatched it - they never say that the video is sponsored or the part at the end is an ad). But I might be just a bit oversensitive :)
I saw this video 2 years ago and since then I have cut processed meats like salami, hotdogs and the like from my diet to basically maybe one serving every couple of months. And I know it wasn’t exclusively that which has made me feel healthier nowadays, but I will say with confidence that it was a catalyst for making better health decisions further down the line
I was going to shit on the lack of annotated sources in the video but then I checked the actually source file in the description. I really appreciate the due diligence on showing a source for each claim made.
@@sirmeowthelibrarycat Calm down m'am, you must be seeing things that aren't there. My medical advice is to lay down, call 911 and don't move before they come pick you up, for your own good.
@Mah Boys not when you are young because it has calcium and heals that retarded crack in your skull but then after that has healed why do we need it? Or Oreos for that matter they are vegan but shit for you ya know? :')
But many people who enjoy dairy won't take that news lightly. Thankfully channels like Kurzgesagt exist to explain it to them in a decent way. I am sure it will be largely unbiased and well presented when it is released. This will help people deal with the hard-to-accept facts more easily.
So does that mean too much vegetables is dangerous too? Don't get me wrong, I'm all for vegetables, but does the perfect diet means the right amount of meat and vegetables, or does it mean veggies only? Would really like to start a conversation about this.
@@purple1441 Too much vegetables is still dangerous because some the vegetables you are eating is just equal to the meat we are eating, at least that is what I know.
As a relatively healthy individual whose diet has primarily been processed meats for the past few years, I think now might be a good time to preserve my health and switch to something healthier. It won’t be easy but I’ll surely feel better for it in the long run.
Taking 50-200 fish out of water per YEAR is perfectly fine for the lake. As it keeps the population low enough for food to be common in the water and that fish can get bigger than 500g-1kg. I hate those people that "farm" salmon and such. Place them in tubes and feed them. I fucking hate these guys, the fish becomes shit, those fish are being tortured and such. And I am from an area where processed foods aren't very common.
Personally (and this is purely my opinion) I think fish farming , MOST not all the fish you see in your grocery store doesn’t have the microplastics you see in fish in the wild. Especially tilapia my favorite, is kind of a man made fish and I think it’s the next chicken!
@@aliascott48 The plastic does not do very much in low doses, as does anything. I mostly fish from lakes/rivers, and the worst thing I have seen was a mouse (Yes a WHOLE mouse) In a trouts mouth. I do not release fish unless they're below 150g. Then they become larger the next year and are better to eat. Releasing fish seems like a waste to me unless they are a burbot. All the fish in my area are Edible, this is useful to me, as If I catch a decent sized fish I will take it home and fillet it. And what does Tilapia taste like?
@@kulturertbaker5371 where do you live that has such a abundance of fish. Do you need a fishing/hunting license for that. My state Tennessee has plenty of creeks rivers and lakes but you need a license for sure.
The main reason why I like this channel is that they're not biased or ignorant to one fact. They put all the facts on the table and won't manipulate you into what you must or mustn't do
Why do people need that illusion of choice. If u can properly separate facts from opinions then it doesnt matter what video you are watching and wheter someone "tells" you to do something or not. If some people on the internet can manipulate you into doing something then there is probably something wrong with you
The EPIC-OXFORD STUDY, part of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition, examined the diets and health outcomes of over 65,000 participants. It found that vegetarians had a significantly lower risk of coronary heart disease compared to meat-eaters.
@@MaximusAutismus It is really strange - i eat "too much" meat but they can't even tell me how bad it is... ok... meat people will tell its healty and vegs will tell its poison basically. Damn
Well, they really widened the spectrum lately (hency why the ''massive'' increase in autism cases we've seen recently) so now the term ''autism'' include a lot of syndrome and impairment which were for decade earlier not considered to be such. Would be kind of hard to make a nutshell video of the subject when it include everything from drooling husk of a human being to mild impediment to speech that barely noticeable.
Here are our sources: sites.google.com/view/sourcesismeathealthy/ It is very fascinating to see that the both extremes, vegans and people on meat heavy diets hate this video. Usually we are attacked more from one direction - in this cases both ends of the spectrums are really upset. Anything relating to nutrition is very controversial unfortunately. Someone on twitter posted this: There is research showing strong links between dietary choices and social identity: www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0195666319305549?via%3Dihub So if you want to, you can find sources telling you that every kind of diet is bad for you. We tried very hard not to do that and get a real understanding what the health effects of meat are. We also did not have a particular bias, we have vegetarians, flexitarians and meat eaters in the team. And in general, since our first meat video many of us have reduced their meat consumption or at least try to. Others in the team have not changed at all and don't plan to. We don't have an overarching agenda here, one way or the other. There is a video about milk in the making right now and we also just started a video about veganism. Look forward to more diet related videos next year.
Now they call it climate change. In 1970 they (the "Scientists" on government grants with too much free time on their hands, due to exclusion form the free market) were calling for incoming ice age and the projections completely failed. In 2000s it was "global warming" and again - the projections completely failed. So now they use term "climate change", not to make fools of themselves anymore. But you all are fools if you believe(d) these theories. Climate is always changing, calling upcoming disaster "Climate change" is like calling it "four seasons". And BTW - if not for the CO2 emissions, next ice age would take another chunk of the plant life population, as it did last time when the amount of CO2 dropped below 150ppm, which is a survival level for many plants. If not for CO2 big-scale life on this planet would probably be gone due to co2 depletion, within a million of years, (unless some unexpected event would have occurred releasing big amounts of co2 into the atmosphere) that has been going on for billions of years since the beginning of life on our planet. STOP CO2 DEPLETION! Thanks god for cryptocurrencies. We can both fight the instability and unsustainability of our financial system and CO2 depletion at the same time. I LOVE IT!
Disappointed with this video. It’s ignoring so many negative side-effects of eating meat. This completely counteracts what you say in your “Should you trust Kurzgesagt” video. Sad that you are using your reach to misinform a large part of the population. “In moderation, meat is not unhealthy” is not factual, it’s an opinion and should be stated as such!
The "controversy" is meat and dairy industry funded studies aimed at confusing the public by using intentionally poor study designs. Once confused, the public will shrug their shoulders and return to eating harmful foods.
Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell “you can find any studies to show a diet is bad” is such a cop out. The strongest evidence we have(prospective cohort studies and meta analysis) show without question that the LDL cholesterol and saturated fat in meat is very unhealthy and leads to cardio vascular disease. It is only “heavily contested” if you consider mechanistic speculation to be valid counter evidence to a meta analysis. In other words, it is only contested if you consider all forms of evidence equal. Which they aren’t, there is a hierarchy of evidence in epidemiology You might as well say the safety of vaccines is “ heavily contested” because 15 doctors started a pseudo scientific Facebook group and have 3 mechanistic studies as evidence.
Somewhere, in a parallel universe: - "care for a plutonium sandwich?" - "nah, I'll pass. The studies have shown, that plutonium is as bad as asbestos and processed meat" - "wait.. processed meat? That element used in the construction of atomeat bombs?!"
Processed meat has been classified as definitively carcinogenic, with plutonium and asbestos. However, it should be noted that this classification is misleading since you need to eat kilos of process meat every month for years to see an increase the cancer risk of a few percent. As for plutonium, you touch one gram of it and you are dead in a few days at best. It is a weird way of classification, I think.
Kurzgesagt: "Processed meats are now in the same category as plutonium, asbestos and smoking" Me: *Puts plutonium, asbestos and cigarettes into a sandwich, eating it while my face is melting* Suck on that Subway!!!
@@commieTerminator Actually, ghg emissions from livestock only produce 14.5% of the total emissions WORLDWIDE. Farms that use livestock on an open grazing plan have a positive impact. Grazing animals make the soil able to absorb more ghg's than the livestock produce.
I am so glad i found this channel. The animation is super cute. While the information is super helpful. I can tell people behind this really wants to help others and not just make as much money for their company as possible. Thank you.
I'm amazed so many people know how to spell Kurzgesagt. I know you all probably copy/paste it, but still, the level of respect toward this show is admirable.
Milan Stevic I had a little phase when I was obsessed with Kurzgesagt to an unhealthy level and through that phase I found out how to spell their name.
In nutrition, "processed" basically means that you remove something good and/or add something bad. Grilling, boiling, steaming, chopping, refrigerating, freezing etc. are not among the things that makes something processed. Adding additives (except for spices) makes something processed. Including adding oil, sugar and/or salt (although it becomes a gradient at very low volumes). Removing good things, like going from a whole grain to refined, or a whole orange to orange juice (i.e. removing most or all fibers) also makes something processed.
When you cut a slab of meat directly out of a dead animal without any other process it's "unprocessed". Things like freezing/thawing are borderline as they can alter the structure of the meat but don't change its nutritional content. If you're looking for things to avoid pre-cooked or cured meats are generally considered to be the worst. When cooking meat it's best to render away excess fat while avoiding over-cooking or burning, meat-fumes are also potentially hazardous and should be avoided as much as possible.
Literally almost ALL prepackaged, precooked meat is processed. Cured and smoked meats are the most obvious examples, but often it is just the shitload of preservatives that are added to make it last longer. Basically the only way around it and still enjoy things like sausages is to find a butcher shop that makes them raw, or straight up pre cooks them without any preservatives. In other words, you somehow got to track down a local butcher shop that has the proper equipment.
They didn't even explain that only processed meats with artificial preservatives are the ones that are dangerous. So basically, those are any meat in cans, tetra packs, and some in jars. I don't think homemade processed meats are dangerous because those artificial preservatives are not really handily available for anyone. And that's why I will keep on making my homemade sausages, luncheon meat, and cured ham.
ever since I had my first period I suffered from Iron deficiency and I've used iron pills for years. I've tried being vegetarian but it didn't work when I lived in Turkey cause the nutritional products that I had to buy were really expensive. I've been living in Germany for 6 months now and I can't say that I'm a vegetarian but I have a plant based diet 95% of the time. When I travelled to Turkey after 4.5 months of being in Germany, I had a blood test done to see if I lack iron. Turns out my iron has risen like never before and I feel completely healthy and not bloated or uncomfortable because of trying to digest the meat.
@@Robbstark2024 A few have it all almost instantaneously obliterated by fire, lightning, explosions or an unexpected shower of acid or lava - milliseconds before they wink out of existence.

Colo-rectal cancer. The World Health Organization, based on over 800 studies, has classified processed meat (bacon, ham, deli sliced meats, canned meats, others) as a class 1 carcinogen like smoking cigarettes. Red meat, beef and pork, is classified as a class 2 carcinogen. The lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer is about 1 in 23 for men and 1 in 25 for women.
Fine, in processed meats we have natrium nitrit everywhere and it seems to be cancerogenegic. But what chemical compound is causing cancer in beef exactly? I don't think it's aminoacids. In the video they say it might be fat, so it's safe to say then that a lean steak is fine? There must be some logic, right, beef and chicken are both meats, but what's special in beef then that presumably causes cancer?

Researchers brought in a large group of people and they looked at the protein they ate and who lived and who died.

Plant protein was inversely associated with all cause mortality.

@@actic555 People keep saying that, but I've never met that type of person before outside of the internet. And it's easy to be loud and obnoxious on the internet.
Did you not watch the video? He didn't say meat was bad, there's conflicting evidence, and all the research is pretty shitty considering the testing methods used. It's up to you what you think, he just showed what information had been made. Also don't trust all scientists a lot have agendas, such as vegans, people who are bribed by big tobacco, pharma etc.
@Anonymous Person Because the left is retarded, they don't use their brains, they use their broken hearts, and thinks their oversensitive morals are justice. I don't care for politics myself, and it's not like I favor the right either, but I can't stand people on the left, they're such twats.
It depends on what area you live in to. For instance, if you live in a spread out city, your not gonna see many of those people because you don’t connect with them. On the other hand, in a densely populated city, or close neighborhood, you may see more of these people regularly. Also puberty and bad parenting/schooling can cause a person to change a lot in their teens.
I think that a lot of choices in what people eat comes down to convenience, taste and morals. I, personally, am vegan, but I don’t condemn or shame anyone who isn’t. I don’t think the world will ever be entirely vegan, but I do hope the way animals are treated in the food industry changes. However, the people around me who do eat meat regularly are so unhealthy and have so many complications and yet continue to eat the same stuff, even though they’re aware of the fact that it is killing them slowly. I would rather just eat the way I do and continue to feel good physically and morally! It’s all a matter of perspective in the end.
New Study released 08/20/2024. Regularly eating red (beef and pork) and processed meats in particular is associated with a higher risk of TYPE 2 DIABETES, according to an analysis of data from 31 study cohorts published Tuesday in the journal The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. Researchers analyzed data from nearly 2 million people across 20 countries.
These studies need to be taken into context. If a regular person eats a lot of meat ALONG with eating a lot of sugary snacks, for example, but then maybe yes, they might have a higher risk of diabetes. But the main risk factor is eating a lot of carbs. There is no person ever who ate mostly meats and non-starchy vegetables long term and still got diabetes. To have type II diabetes one has to eat a lot of carbs for long periods of time. Because type II diabetes is essentially a developed intolerance to carbs.
@@mishiko7 Sorry to disappoint you but new evidence shows fat is the cause of diabetes. Specifically fat in the muscle (intramyocellular lipids), liver, and pancreas. How do we know this? They have looked at the fat on MRI. They have given healthy humans intravenous fat follow by oral glucose and they became diabetic and the blood sugar would not come down. People on a meat only diet have been shown to be masking their diabetes. When they are given a glucose tolerance test, their blood glucose skyrockets and does not come down. Fat (animal fat and oils) causes insulin resistance.
@@georgewilson7808 no worries, you have not disappointed me (yet). To be factually correct people on HFLC diet do not have high insulin resistance, vice a versa they are highly insulin-senstive. What you are describing is an adaption phase, not diabetes. People who were long term on HFLC produce less insulin as they do not need a lot of it and their pancrea just gets lazy. When they suddenly eat a lot of carbs the problem is not that they're insulin resistant, it's just the pancrea cannot produce enough insulin fast enough. But given enough time the body will adapt soon and be able to produce more insulin. This process can take a couple of weeks and maybe max several months to get to the full extent. How fast it happens depends on the thing we call methabolical flexibility. Absolutely the same happens when people switch to HFLC from HCLF - keto-flue and associated side effects to reach fat adaption are just temporal conditions. But on the other hand we know that diabetes is not a temporal condition and even considered a kind of permanent disability by most doctors. If you show me a study when people who were long term (e.g. 5 years) on a high fat diet, then gradually switched to high carb diet and let's say after 3 months had all signs of a permanent diabetes, then I'm very interested and I'd consider your statement "fat causes diabetes" as probably true. AFAIK there is no such study. Diabetes is still widely associated with sweet soda, not with an avocado. But even if you do not agree with my adaptation argument, and still think that people on high fat diets have "hidden diabetes" - then why is it bad in practice for them? It's like saying that some non-drinkers are actually "hidden alcoholics", they do not experience any negative effects of alcoholism, but if they drank, oh boy, they would have been doing so bad. It might be true, but they decided not to drink (or eat carbs for the matter) and hence experience no harm. And if a person, who has a real diabetes, decides to do HFLC they do better, not worse actually. Some even claim that they reversed their diabetes. If fat causes diabetes, then probably it should only become worse, right? I little too counterintuitive, I think.
@@mishiko7 The reason it is not good to be masking diabetes is because then they looked at the one year and two year mark of people on keto they found they still had diabetes at one years, just less severe; however, at the two year mark their diabetes was slightly worse. To top it off all of the people in the study were still on diabetes medication. You could cure all of these cases with a low fat whole food plant based diet. They would no longer have diabetes and no longer be taking medication. I know because I did it myself and eat several times a week large servings of brown rice, baked potatoes, sprouted flourless bread, and licorice daily (no fat out of Finland). My Ha1c is 5.2, but has been as low as 4.9.

Hasn't BBC (or an another media company) made a program about that? Atleast here in Sweden a program called: "Vetenskapens Värld" (in English: _The World of Science_ ) aired a program about your suggested topic. (The program had of course Swedish subtitles.)
@@calvinhoward3808 yup. The worst thing is that they are sometimes linked to increasing cravings for sugar or possibly being linked to headaches if you are sensitive to them. But the risks of artificial sweeteners are nothing compared to the risks of sugar.
Literally on what you get. I look for meats without nitrates and nitrites. Applegate is a good company and more companies are hopping onto the no nitrates/nitrite train
At one time one could find a farmer/rancher where you would knew how it was raised and buy a yearly calf or pig then have it slaughtered for the freezer. You couldn't have four hams, but it was fresh and less expensive.
If my experience in the Military is anything to go by, a good balanced meal (especially for intense exercise) will have protein, carbs and vegetables. An example would be Samoan, Corn and Broccoli. Another good meal could be something like Pork Chops, Potatoes (or macaroni) and Asparagus. It is also pretty good to eat fruit like an Apple or Pear once or twice a day.
One thing to add: Vitamin B12 in animals is very often supplemented, too. Animals get Vitamin B12 to eat so their meat includes more B12 for humans when they eat it.
Even withought supplements animal meat would still have b12 just less. Which means we would just have to eat more meat as there is no supplements Edited to make my comment make sense think I made it worse
I felt a certain uneasiness, not in the speech but in the pictures. I am quite opposed to vegetarianism in its ethical conception and more generally the nature-human relationship where we always seem to want to make animals close and "nice", where we see wild domestic animals, the fact for some activists where we hear that they want to stop all animals from eating meat (I noticed that this was restricted just for preys where there is emphaty), which scares me.
@@hidokun9145 What do you even mean, this video is centred across the topic of the effects of eating meat on the environment and the factors that support it, how does uneasiness from the depiction comes in the rational facts?
Fish is one of the worst things to eat. They eat soft plastic. The big chemical in soft plastic leeches into the meat if the fish. This ruins your immune system
Isaac Heinze That’s the good part about this channel. It’s more informative than giving an opinion, and shows both sides of the argument without making one side look intentionally better than the other. It also doesn’t leave out important information (at least it seems like it) that could change the argument, such as the fact a study may not be entirely accurate.

Females and males over 60 could add 8 and 8.8 years of life respectively. An 80-year-old who started a plant-based diet could add 3.4 years to their life expectancy.

@@theluiginoidperson1097 is correct though just so you all know. It's important to note that the first 'meat' we ate was fish. It was specifically the omega-3s in fish oil in greater amounts that allowed us to develop larger brain sizes. Read about this in Carl Sagan's "The Dragons of Eden"
Exactly! I'm very frustrated by the tone of discussion among vegetarian and omnivores people. There are usually complete nonsense, bullying, and disrespect for one another.
I highly opt for both things. I really tend to eat meat since I *extremely* love meat, but yet I'm somewhat conscious of my own health and tend to eat other meals such as vegetables once or twice during a week, and of course swapping meat to omelettes, even though, of course, they contain fats as well, which I also look for regulating

Here is an excerpt from a 2003 article on hazards of heavy metal contamination: "The general population does not face a significant health risk from methylmercury, although certain groups with high fish consumption may attain blood levels associated with a low risk of neurological damage to adults. Since there is a risk to the fetus in particular, pregnant women should avoid a high intake of certain fish, such as shark, swordfish and tuna. Fish, such as pike, walleye and bass, taken from polluted fresh waters should especially be avoided."
Fish is one of the most dirty things ever nowadays. Various chemicals, heavy metals and plastic concentrate in its flesh and regular consumption of it can have deleterious effects on us.
maybe for grown adults it’s fine, but i think the concern with mercury is more for pregnant women, and not even all fish. i think it’s for the fish that are more likely to have higher concentrations of it like tuna

I think it's important to emphasize that when they say meat increases your risk for some disease by 19%, that doesn't mean if your current risk was 1%, it's now 20%. It's 1.19%.
When people hear that statement, "increases by 19%", they think (MyCurrentRisk)+19. Not (MyCurrentRisk)*1.19... which is what they should be thinking. Relative risk is a hard concept to grasp for a lot of people.
Well, most ppl think math is useless so its really no surprise they can't understand the difference between additive and multiplicative percentage increases lol
You just gotta repeat to people that it is relative until they get it :p
I've just realised that you uploaded a new video.
6:46 they did emphasize that
Knowing Better - most people will be taking those chances either way.
"This sounds alarming, but before we panic, let's look at how the studies were conducted..." every nutrition science article should be followed by this
Also the % are useless information to us, we don't know what they correlate to, 29% higher chance of cancer could be anything, if the original chance was 1% then it's now 1.29%, or it could be full on 29%, or even 0.0029%
The info is meant to sound alarming, it's meant to scare us, but in reality the numbers have no meaning on an individual person, it's only meaningful on a society scale, and only when all of the numbers are proven, and explained.
@@ForgottenT Great point. My willingness to take an additional 29% chance from 0 is way way different than an additional 29% from 10.
@@ForgottenT In health, a 'risk increase by 10% or above' - no matter what the original risk was - is considered a significant concern, because of the many other factors that can contribute to the disease.
Yeah although it’s helpful, you’re not supposed to associate any type of emotion in your studies (for chance of emotional bias in your report) unless you’re writing a follow up report to your studies

I've been vegeterian for the past 4+ years(I still eat fish every once in a while) and honestly I feel pretty normal. But the fact is even before I went full on, I didn't like meat at all(which in my country is considered very weird) so it wasn't that hard for me to switch.
But I think it really depends on your taste, habits, surroundings and sime other factors whether you will consume a lot of meat.
And honestly, I don't judge people who eat meat, because as Kurzgesagt pointed out, it has its health benefits. Heck, even within my own family there are people on both sides and we still sit down and eat on the same table.
I just wish non-vegeterians would treat me the same way too and I stop recieving weird looks when I tell other people I don't eat meat, because it's really annoying.
So, you occasionally supplement your diet and you still feel pretty good, have you tried full Vegan?

You should switch to meat.
Why processed though? It's so much simpler just to buy normal meat and throw it in the pan. Probably cheaper too.

Taking 50-200 fish out of water per YEAR is perfectly fine for the lake. As it keeps the population low enough for food to be common in the water and that fish can get bigger than 500g-1kg. I hate those people that "farm" salmon and such. Place them in tubes and feed them. I fucking hate these guys, the fish becomes shit, those fish are being tortured and such.
And I am from an area where processed foods aren't very common.
Personally (and this is purely my opinion) I think fish farming , MOST not all the fish you see in your grocery store doesn’t have the microplastics you see in fish in the wild. Especially tilapia my favorite, is kind of a man made fish and I think it’s the next chicken!
@@aliascott48 The plastic does not do very much in low doses, as does anything. I mostly fish from lakes/rivers, and the worst thing I have seen was a mouse (Yes a WHOLE mouse) In a trouts mouth. I do not release fish unless they're below 150g. Then they become larger the next year and are better to eat. Releasing fish seems like a waste to me unless they are a burbot. All the fish in my area are Edible, this is useful to me, as If I catch a decent sized fish I will take it home and fillet it.
And what does Tilapia taste like?

Great explanation!
Thanks for the video!
Here are our sources: sites.google.com/view/sourcesismeathealthy/ It is very fascinating to see that the both extremes, vegans and people on meat heavy diets hate this video. Usually we are attacked more from one direction - in this cases both ends of the spectrums are really upset. Anything relating to nutrition is very controversial unfortunately. Someone on twitter posted this: There is research showing strong links between dietary choices and social identity: www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0195666319305549?via%3Dihub
So if you want to, you can find sources telling you that every kind of diet is bad for you. We tried very hard not to do that and get a real understanding what the health effects of meat are. We also did not have a particular bias, we have vegetarians, flexitarians and meat eaters in the team. And in general, since our first meat video many of us have reduced their meat consumption or at least try to. Others in the team have not changed at all and don't plan to. We don't have an overarching agenda here, one way or the other. There is a video about milk in the making right now and we also just started a video about veganism. Look forward to more diet related videos next year.
Now they call it climate change. In 1970 they (the "Scientists" on government grants with too much free time on their hands, due to exclusion form the free market) were calling for incoming ice age and the projections completely failed. In 2000s it was "global warming" and again - the projections completely failed. So now they use term "climate change", not to make fools of themselves anymore. But you all are fools if you believe(d) these theories. Climate is always changing, calling upcoming disaster "Climate change" is like calling it "four seasons". And BTW - if not for the CO2 emissions, next ice age would take another chunk of the plant life population, as it did last time when the amount of CO2 dropped below 150ppm, which is a survival level for many plants. If not for CO2 big-scale life on this planet would probably be gone due to co2 depletion, within a million of years, (unless some unexpected event would have occurred releasing big amounts of co2 into the atmosphere) that has been going on for billions of years since the beginning of life on our planet. STOP CO2 DEPLETION! Thanks god for cryptocurrencies. We can both fight the instability and unsustainability of our financial system and CO2 depletion at the same time. I LOVE IT!
Disappointed with this video. It’s ignoring so many negative side-effects of eating meat. This completely counteracts what you say in your “Should you trust Kurzgesagt” video. Sad that you are using your reach to misinform a large part of the population. “In moderation, meat is not unhealthy” is not factual, it’s an opinion and should be stated as such!
Can you guys make a video about water and the effects, benifits, and side effects it has particularly on the human body?
The "controversy" is meat and dairy industry funded studies aimed at confusing the public by using intentionally poor study designs. Once confused, the public will shrug their shoulders and return to eating harmful foods.
Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell “you can find any studies to show a diet is bad” is such a cop out. The strongest evidence we have(prospective cohort studies and meta analysis) show without question that the LDL cholesterol and saturated fat in meat is very unhealthy and leads to cardio vascular disease.
It is only “heavily contested” if you consider mechanistic speculation to be valid counter evidence to a meta analysis. In other words, it is only contested if you consider all forms of evidence equal. Which they aren’t, there is a hierarchy of evidence in epidemiology
You might as well say the safety of vaccines is “ heavily contested” because 15 doctors started a pseudo scientific Facebook group and have 3 mechanistic studies as evidence.
Somewhere, in a parallel universe:
- "care for a plutonium sandwich?"
- "nah, I'll pass. The studies have shown, that plutonium is as bad as asbestos and processed meat"
- "wait.. processed meat? That element used in the construction of atomeat bombs?!"
- "those crazy uranium eaters should shut up and eat their rabbit rocks. Just let me eat my plutonium-239 dammit."
"Seriously though, they said that plutonium has cancer risks, not how much"
I see why some people say WHO's system is misleading
Meat is more dangerous than WHO says it is!
Processed meat has been classified as definitively carcinogenic, with plutonium and asbestos. However, it should be noted that this classification is misleading since you need to eat kilos of process meat every month for years to see an increase the cancer risk of a few percent. As for plutonium, you touch one gram of it and you are dead in a few days at best. It is a weird way of classification, I think.

The comments tell me "what processed meat actually is" deserves it's own video lol.
Nowadays, whatever that is not a fresh whole cut steak is processed, fish and poultry included. See Wikipedia.
In nutrition, "processed" basically means that you remove something good and/or add something bad. Grilling, boiling, steaming, chopping, refrigerating, freezing etc. are not among the things that makes something processed. Adding additives (except for spices) makes something processed. Including adding oil, sugar and/or salt (although it becomes a gradient at very low volumes). Removing good things, like going from a whole grain to refined, or a whole orange to orange juice (i.e. removing most or all fibers) also makes something processed.
When you cut a slab of meat directly out of a dead animal without any other process it's "unprocessed". Things like freezing/thawing are borderline as they can alter the structure of the meat but don't change its nutritional content.
If you're looking for things to avoid pre-cooked or cured meats are generally considered to be the worst. When cooking meat it's best to render away excess fat while avoiding over-cooking or burning, meat-fumes are also potentially hazardous and should be avoided as much as possible.
Literally almost ALL prepackaged, precooked meat is processed.
Cured and smoked meats are the most obvious examples, but often it is just the shitload of preservatives that are added to make it last longer.
Basically the only way around it and still enjoy things like sausages is to find a butcher shop that makes them raw, or straight up pre cooks them without any preservatives. In other words, you somehow got to track down a local butcher shop that has the proper equipment.
They didn't even explain that only processed meats with artificial preservatives are the ones that are dangerous. So basically, those are any meat in cans, tetra packs, and some in jars.
I don't think homemade processed meats are dangerous because those artificial preservatives are not really handily available for anyone. And that's why I will keep on making my homemade sausages, luncheon meat, and cured ham.

Colo-rectal cancer. The World Health Organization, based on over 800 studies, has classified processed meat (bacon, ham, deli sliced meats, canned meats, others) as a class 1 carcinogen like smoking cigarettes. Red meat, beef and pork, is classified as a class 2 carcinogen. The lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer is about 1 in 23 for men and 1 in 25 for women.
Fine, in processed meats we have natrium nitrit everywhere and it seems to be cancerogenegic. But what chemical compound is causing cancer in beef exactly? I don't think it's aminoacids. In the video they say it might be fat, so it's safe to say then that a lean steak is fine? There must be some logic, right, beef and chicken are both meats, but what's special in beef then that presumably causes cancer?
@@mishiko7 A Harvard study: Association of Animal and Plant Protein Intake With All-Cause and Cause Specific Mortality.
Researchers brought in a large group of people and they looked at the protein they ate and who lived and who died. They controlled for the cholesterol and the fat so they could look just at the effect of the protein. Conclusion: Animal protein is always associated with higher cardiovascular mortality. Plant protein was inversely associated with all cause mortality.

People keep saying that, but I've never met that type of person before outside of the internet. And it's easy to be loud and obnoxious on the internet.
Did you not watch the video?
He didn't say meat was bad, there's conflicting evidence, and all the research is pretty shitty considering the testing methods used.
It's up to you what you think, he just showed what information had been made.
Also don't trust all scientists a lot have agendas, such as vegans, people who are bribed by big tobacco, pharma etc.
@Anonymous Person Because the left is retarded, they don't use their brains, they use their broken hearts, and thinks their oversensitive morals are justice.
I don't care for politics myself, and it's not like I favor the right either, but I can't stand people on the left, they're such twats.
It depends on what area you live in to. For instance, if you live in a spread out city, your not gonna see many of those people because you don’t connect with them. On the other hand, in a densely populated city, or close neighborhood, you may see more of these people regularly. Also puberty and bad parenting/schooling can cause a person to change a lot in their teens.
I think that a lot of choices in what people eat comes down to convenience, taste and morals. I, personally, am vegan, but I don’t condemn or shame anyone who isn’t. I don’t think the world will ever be entirely vegan, but I do hope the way animals are treated in the food industry changes.
However, the people around me who do eat meat regularly are so unhealthy and have so many complications and yet continue to eat the same stuff, even though they’re aware of the fact that it is killing them slowly. I would rather just eat the way I do and continue to feel good physically and morally! It’s all a matter of perspective in the end.

New Study released 08/20/2024. Regularly eating red (beef and pork) and processed meats in particular is associated with a higher risk of TYPE 2 DIABETES, according to an analysis of data from 31 study cohorts published Tuesday in the journal The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. Researchers analyzed data from nearly 2 million people across 20 countries.
These studies need to be taken into context. If a regular person eats a lot of meat ALONG with eating a lot of sugary snacks, for example, but then maybe yes, they might have a higher risk of diabetes. But the main risk factor is eating a lot of carbs. There is no person ever who ate mostly meats and non-starchy vegetables long term and still got diabetes. To have type II diabetes one has to eat a lot of carbs for long periods of time. Because type II diabetes is essentially a developed intolerance to carbs.
@@mishiko7 Sorry to disappoint you but new evidence shows fat is the cause of diabetes. Specifically fat in the muscle (intramyocellular lipids), liver, and pancreas. How do we know this? They have looked at the fat on MRI. They have given healthy humans intravenous fat follow by oral glucose and they became diabetic and the blood sugar would not come down. People on a meat only diet have been shown to be masking their diabetes. When they are given a glucose tolerance test, their blood glucose skyrockets and does not come down. Fat (animal fat and oils) causes insulin resistance.
@@georgewilson7808 no worries, you have not disappointed me (yet). To be factually correct people on HFLC diet do not have high insulin resistance, vice a versa they are highly insulin-senstive. What you are describing is an adaption phase, not diabetes. People who were long term on HFLC produce less insulin as they do not need a lot of it and their pancrea just gets lazy. When they suddenly eat a lot of carbs the problem is not that they're insulin resistant, it's just the pancrea cannot produce enough insulin fast enough. But given enough time the body will adapt soon and be able to produce more insulin. This process can take a couple of weeks and maybe max several months to get to the full extent. How fast it happens depends on the thing we call methabolical flexibility. Absolutely the same happens when people switch to HFLC from HCLF - keto-flue and associated side effects to reach fat adaption are just temporal conditions. But on the other hand we know that diabetes is not a temporal condition and even considered a kind of permanent disability by most doctors. If you show me a study when people who were long term (e.g. 5 years) on a high fat diet, then gradually switched to high carb diet and let's say after 3 months had all signs of a permanent diabetes, then I'm very interested and I'd consider your statement "fat causes diabetes" as probably true. AFAIK there is no such study. Diabetes is still widely associated with sweet soda, not with an avocado. But even if you do not agree with my adaptation argument, and still think that people on high fat diets have "hidden diabetes" - then why is it bad in practice for them? It's like saying that some non-drinkers are actually "hidden alcoholics", they do not experience any negative effects of alcoholism, but if they drank, oh boy, they would have been doing so bad. It might be true, but they decided not to drink (or eat carbs for the matter) and hence experience no harm. And if a person, who has a real diabetes, decides to do HFLC they do better, not worse actually. Some even claim that they reversed their diabetes. If fat causes diabetes, then probably it should only become worse, right? I little too counterintuitive, I think.
@@mishiko7 The reason it is not good to be masking diabetes is because then they looked at the one year and two year mark of people on keto they found they still had diabetes at one years, just less severe; however, at the two year mark their diabetes was slightly worse. To top it off all of the people in the study were still on diabetes medication. You could cure all of these cases with a low fat whole food plant based diet. They would no longer have diabetes and no longer be taking medication. I know because I did it myself and eat several times a week large servings of brown rice, baked potatoes, sprouted flourless bread, and licorice daily (no fat out of Finland). My Ha1c is 5.2, but has been as low as 4.9.

Atleast here in Sweden a program called: "Vetenskapens Värld" (in English: _The World of Science_ ) aired a program about your suggested topic. (The program had of course Swedish subtitles.)
Yes please
@@calvinhoward3808 yup. The worst thing is that they are sometimes linked to increasing cravings for sugar or possibly being linked to headaches if you are sensitive to them. But the risks of artificial sweeteners are nothing compared to the risks of sugar.
Where can I get non-processed meat?
*Definitely not from school lunches.*
Bruh that ain't meat
FUN FACT: you get more nutrition eating horse shit than school meals
Literally on what you get. I look for meats without nitrates and nitrites. Applegate is a good company and more companies are hopping onto the no nitrates/nitrite train
Hunting there's a big difference in the taste I heard.
At one time one could find a farmer/rancher where you would knew how it was raised and buy a yearly calf or pig then have it slaughtered for the freezer. You couldn't have four hams, but it was fresh and less expensive.
If my experience in the Military is anything to go by, a good balanced meal (especially for intense exercise) will have protein, carbs and vegetables. An example would be Samoan, Corn and Broccoli. Another good meal could be something like Pork Chops, Potatoes (or macaroni) and Asparagus. It is also pretty good to eat fruit like an Apple or Pear once or twice a day.
This sounds pretty mongoloid.

One thing to add: Vitamin B12 in animals is very often supplemented, too.
Animals get Vitamin B12 to eat so their meat includes more B12 for humans when they eat it.
True!
Even withought supplements animal meat would still have b12 just less. Which means we would just have to eat more meat as there is no supplements
Edited to make my comment make sense think I made it worse
Most people have a B12 deficiency. Everyone should supplement, regardless of your diet. It's super cheap anyway.

I felt a certain uneasiness, not in the speech but in the pictures. I am quite opposed to vegetarianism in its ethical conception and more generally the nature-human relationship where we always seem to want to make animals close and "nice", where we see wild domestic animals, the fact for some activists where we hear that they want to stop all animals from eating meat (I noticed that this was restricted just for preys where there is emphaty), which scares me.
@@hidokun9145 This video is about the health side of it, how did you feel uneasiness?

He says its okay to eat mercury apparently🤷♂️ Guess we shouldn't question it
Here is an excerpt from a 2003 article on hazards of heavy metal contamination:
"The general population does not face a significant health risk from methylmercury, although certain groups with high fish consumption may attain blood levels associated with a low risk of neurological damage to adults. Since there is a risk to the fetus in particular, pregnant women should avoid a high intake of certain fish, such as shark, swordfish and tuna. Fish, such as pike, walleye and bass, taken from polluted fresh waters should especially be avoided."
