I have been consuming a spoonful of coconut oil each morning, along side a Cod Liver Oil capsule (500mg) washed done with a pint of water containing two tea spoons of apple cider vinegar for nearly a year now and feel fine. In fact, my wife has had 4 colds this past winter, and out of those 4, only one touched me but only lasted a week with minimal symptoms. I am 53, physically active both in work and personal training regime. Don't forget that studies are driven by whoever funds them - one time butter was bad and margarine good. In the UK where I live, we were once told eggs were bad for you, now they are good. Same for the soft drink industry and sugar free products: studies show they are good for you, but who funds the studies? Unbiased, clear cut studies are difficult to attain, so everyone has to do their own research as best they can weighed up against so-called official studies.
Hello from Zimbabwe Africa - I am a Zimbabwean of British decent and eat a British based diet resonant of pre 2nd world war - fresh whole food - home grown vegetables - home cooked meals from scratch - aren't we lucky - I love listening to all your blogs dr hyman - how sad it is that America is facing such a food dilemma - I am two years from 60 years - in good health - loving life - coconut oil two tablespoons a day has helped my mother of 85 return to her obsession with crosswords!! Thank you for all your concern for all our good health!!
the "wrong" side is the side trying to take your $$$. So ask yourself, which side is trying to take your money? The meat and dairy industry? or the plant industry? Hint: there is no organized plant industry. But meat and dairy... well you know the story about those guys. They're just a tad less confusing the the tabacco industry of the past. Remember, tabacco industry's motto back then and even still today: "tabacco doesn't cause lung cancer". Yeah.
So you think that Dr. Hyman is getting kickbacks from the meat and dairy industry to try and talk us into eating Coconut oil? With that kind of logic you should start a church.
I support no food industry, i rather get good quality product from people that produce good healthy food. That's why i mostly buy organic stuff from small farmers directly or grow it myself in the garden. It's just so damn confusing when some scientists claim a certain food is bad for you, but then use the lowest quality industrially produced version of that food in the studies or make false conclusions although studies were done right.
Check out nutritionfacts.org. It's a nonprofit that compiles academic studies and boils it all down. You can see the studies that prove the exact opposite of what this guy is saying - and it easily pokes holes in all this guys bullshit. We know how to cure and reverse heart disease and this guy is doing real harm.
With increasing saturated (healthy fats) as supplements to meals like Almond and Coconut Butter/Oil... I've seen my fat grams double... and been able to reduce my carb intake by 30-40%, not intentionally. It just seems like it goes hand in hand with the adjustment in the diet where by increasing protein this seemed to be the trend. Feel better, more energy, weight loss and better results from excercising.
My grandmother (a Filipina) had a small parcel of coconut plantation where she produced copras and home made Coconut oil that she used for cooking. She only stopped using coconut oil when she died at the age of 91 due to ulcer caused by stress from quitting smoking.
That is like arguing that omiga 6s are bad If enough omiga 3 is present than omiga 6 is heallthy I have been eating a high fat diet almost all my life. Saturated and unsaturated. Including coconut oil palm oil palm oil.butter and lard I add fat to almost every meal BUT I NEVER EAT ANY PROCCESSED OR REFINED FATS OR OILS I am very healthy age 72. Thank you for the excellent vidio
Coconut oil IS processed. Bottles of the oil don't just grow on the trees. It also doesn't magically drip out of the nut and into a bottle. Oil is a processed food. Better to eat whole foods 😉
@@adorable3817 Coconut oil is extracted. Not refined. Coconut oil is almost the healthiest fat you can consume. There are no health problems associated with coconut oil. JUST BENEFITS!!!!!!!!
I love Coconut Oil, and use it every day in my cooking, smoothies and health care products! Thank you Dr. Hyman for let all of us know the right fats to eat. I have Fibro and Diabities and this is really helping keep my Blood sugar low and my pain low. Thanks!
How do you know it's right? Is it because, he tells you what you want to hear? Look at the evidence, pubmed.com... Coconut is bad if you use is as a cooking oil... if you use less than a teaspoon a day..it MAY be ok..
@@machiavelli3825 Pacific Islanders traditionally cook their foods not by frying but by roasting or boiling. Coconut oil is consumed in the form of coconut meat BEFORE the white man landed on their shores.
As Filipino and islanders in the Philippines, what I can say is coconut oil is the super super healthy food on the planet. some are saying fake advertisement because they want to sell their processed foods like, margarine, butter, cheese, canola, soya, etc, all of there contains saturated fats, and trans fat, and they are genetically modified food. Do more research on coconut oil, and you will be shock about the super healthy benefits of COCONUT OIL. Anyway they say olive oil is the best, yes I agree, but don't you know that it was not 100 percent olive oi, because they are mixing it with other oil, , better use virgin coconut oil.
I feel so good since I have started taking coconut oil. My headaches have stopped. I wake up without lower backache. Im 68 yrs, and would like to know how long should I continue using it?
I have just recently started to use coconut oil on my face and can't believe what a difference it has made. My skin is much softer now and l also eat some everyday.
I don't know who to believe cause half of the people I talk to say its bad for you, and most regular doctors say coconut oil is bad for you. I think the best advice is to use it in moderation like anything else.
Don't believe your medical doctor. They have no nutritional knowledge. I listen to Dr. Mark Hyman and Dr. Mercola. Also Dr. Perlmutter believes you need to eat healthy fats.
I'll believe my own body...I tried coconut milk for the first time yesterday, got the worse case of runs I ever had! Went 3 x's in the morning, took an hour walk & couldn't make it home, had to drop my pants in back of somebody's garage. I "think" nobody was looking but i can't be sure but at least I left them a thank you tissue; I mean who goes out without some toilet paper on a day like that? anyway then 5 more times later that day I admit it was me who broke the toilet seat. Yeah I'm sure there's an antidote but I don't know it cause right now my left arm is giving me pains so I'm not sure if I'll wake up really skinny or not at all. Either way call 911 cause I haven't lost this much in one day since I popped all that water when I was born!...true story
B Charron I say to look at some primary and secondary literature and then determine for yourself. From the research I've done, everything he is saying in the video is pretty much spot on.
seeamerica1, seems like you caught a bug or your body went into detox mode. I don't do the milk, just the cold-pressed organic kind. Used it for 14 years for Candida, and never had cholesterol problems. I listen to my body, not doctors since they were the ones who almost caused my demise, by feeding me steroids for asthma. Do your research. Sometimes what's good for one person, is poison for another. Goes the same way with allopathic meds. Wish you a healthy life.
B Charron - i wouldn't believe people who spread the bullshit that fat is bad for you. Yet, they put sugar in all the food they removed fat from - so it tastes better. Look what low fat agenda did to Americans - they're the sickest nation on the planet. Yet people, which use coconut products as the staple in their diet (and eat no processed crap, especially carbs) are among the healthiest people alive. Combination of carbs and fat = disease.
Happy to report Ive been on quality coconut oil for 7 months... I have MS with fatigue & brain fog (as well as other symptoms), it has helped. There many other uses for it also. Ive seen great improvements in alzheimer, dementia etc...patients also. If anyone is concerned with saturated fat (big pharma & cooking oil propaganda) they can use quality coconut oil for cooking instead of lard, butter, crisco, veg oil, even olive oil - most of which isnt even made from olives btw
Hello Dr. I grew up in as a vegetarian. College life and peer pressure has lead me to embrace western diet (bad idea decision on my part) 10 years later, in early 30's, still on western diet, I started having skin problems, dry skin, start using deodorant, my lips are dry, losing hair. My fart stink so bad. Then I was put on cholesterol meds and bl press meds. BTW, I'm type 1 since I was 15y/o. Last year ago I made a conscious choice and I did it cold turkey. No titration. I went back to vegetarian diet. I cut out bread, pasta and anything potatoes and it's kinda. No soda or processed except cheese. My sweets comes from raw honey and I refuse to cook it. My oils comes from coconut, butter, milk, seed and nuts plus I eat them raw. Happy to note, dandruff and dry skin have subsided, not wearing deodorant for months, my fart isn't stinky and sour my skin color did came back. I have full head of hair. I'm in the process of loooooosing weighting. I've lost 80lb of my first 6 months. Happy Thanksgiving to you, to your family, and to all your subscribers.
Thanks Dr Hyman, I thank you for the information. I have been using Coconut Oil to help heal my stomach issues and digestive problems and it seems to be helping. My cholesterol levels were slightly elevated due to stomach lining inflammation and I am doing just fine. So, I highly recommend anyone having digestive or stomach problems to use Coconut Oil to help them as well. Have a great evening. Sincerely, Rob (Canada)
@@Musician_Robert Thanks. I tried aloe Vera juice but it lowered my already low blood pressure and made me weak and tired. I would like to try cabbage juice but I read people get weird effects from it. I bought a juicer so I might go for a bit to see how it makes me feel.
I started on KETOGENIC DIET or lifestylechange on july 13 2020. I only use coconutoil, butter and oliveoils. My health has improved significantly, my pains from arthritis in knees and ancles are reduced 80% , my bloodpressure after years intake of bloodpressure pills is normal as well as my bloodsugar level and cholesterol levels. And since my change I hsve lost over 30 pounds. I want to lose 100, but the health is a big surprise to me. I am a 68 year old Danish male, residing in Denmark
Thank you so much! My cholesterol went way up after using coconut oil but my ratio was still good so my dr wasn't worried. I didn't know whether to stop or not.
Just eat plant based whole foods (a lot of this, and organic if possible), or grass fed animal origin whole foods (in moderation). Reduce the sugar intake to the minimum, don't eat processed foods or fast foods. If you don't have time to cook, grab some whole raw veggies and fruits, and some nuts (walnuts are some of the healthiest -and nuts also in moderation), and you have a meal. Also, do some kind of exercise (like walking 30 to 60 minutes every day) and you will be alright. Use your intelligence to eat, good luck!!
I agree! ...just please reconsider meat 🙏 even grass fed - it's all not only bad for us, but there's literally nothing in it that we need. 🤷♀️ Animals are fed B12 supplements. And STILL I had iron and B12 deficiency while consuming meat on a regular basis 😳 Since eating only whole food plant based.... all levels up to normal. My doctor, sceptical of my diet, ordered blood work. She was impressed with the results. Even wrote it on the results. Did you see Joe Rogan's interview with James Wilks?
@@adorable3817 you are right, I`m a fish guy and plant based foods, I don`t eat processed foods, sodas, white breads,past(only whole grain) I eat tons of greens and fruit and now I have been taking coconut oil in my morning coffee, feel great.
I've been taking MCT Coconut oil and it has helped me so much, I was in pain every time I layed on my stumoch and after two months the pain has gone away about 97% of the time.
I felt a little bit of chest pain after a few weeks of drinking coconut oil every day. Last research and tests is showing that coconut oil raises both good and bad colesterol, it’s t true. But it raises more the bad one...
Wrong Don Da Won, I am an islander and grew up on home-made coconut oil. In our food, on our skin and hair. Not the KFC, Macdonald's etc, etc. Nobody had these issues from the intrusion of the SAD..
I am frustrated! After a year of cutting carbs and sugars, increasing healthy fats, my small ldl numbers are up! I reduced my dosage of statins and am pleased that it is now 160 after only a few months, but the small particles are up by 5%. However, I exercise daily, sauna daily, sleep well 7 hours nightly, and eat better than I ever have…. I am Apo E 3-4. Could that have something to do with it. I’ve made these changes because of the education I am getting from you. I love FunctionMedicine! Thank you! I even changed doctors to get a person more open to lowering my statin. My mental acuity is improved. It’s just those darn small particle ldl! HELP!
I have never been healthier since I have been eating coconut oil and other saturated fats. Ive cut all refined sugars and carbs out and I’m at my ideal weight. The coconut oil also helps with my inflammation of my knee which hasn’t been this good since I had my cartilage removed. I have also noticed I have less wrinkles then my friends at the same age.
To those saying whole coconut is healthy and the refined oil is un-healthy because the fiber is removed don't know wtf your talking about, the digestive system weeds out the fiber and absorbs the oil, it separates the oil and the fiber and you absorb the oil and shit out the fiber, fiber never gets past the digestive tract, cold pressing coconut meat to get the oil is just doing what your digestive system would already do, in other words, while your digestive system can tell the difference between whole coconut meat and the oil, your heart cannot tell the difference between eating the oil cold pressed or eating the whole coconut meat, because like I said the fibers never get past the digestive tract
Well it worked for my autoimmune disease, Sytemic Sclerosis. I cut out the carbs and took more satuarated fats and I started to feel healthy. I had no energy but felt healthier after eating greens, goats milk, porridge, cruciferous veg and fish BUT JUST NO ENERGY. A doctor on youtube said eating for autoimmune disease to get energy back one must eat high fats and lots of it. Surely enough my energy came back in drips. Now it's sustained. Had my brain tested as doctors thought I was getting brain disease but the surgeon said it's due to high Cholesterol as classic signs in the brain. I said that must be due to my diet. He said well you are doing healthy on it considering your disease but start to bring the fats (oils) amount down and see you later for change (appointment end of June 2017). however, if I ate the coconut oil with carbs now I would be hospitalised. So the end part of this video makes absolute sense. I'm also immunosuppressed and for the first time can't shake of this cold/vurus I have. Gets better then comes on again and repeating etc. I'm going to incorporate coconut oil again for a bit (not like before, just a spoonful in morning with manuka honey, turmeric, black pepper, lemon juice, fermented vinegar, spuruluna and mix of herbal teas) cos last year when I was eating it a lot, I didn't get any colds despite I was around people with colds and being immunosuporessed. It's about looking at the bigger picture indepthly. Coconut oil is good as long as you totally ditch the carbs otherwise you will have a heart attack or problems if you eat it with carbs.
No. True, many elderly have very low cholesterol because they are in a sickly condition. This biases the data. In no way is it good for an older person to have high cholesterol. But that is the type of bullshit study that the self-promoting hucksters like Mark Hyman mention.
One of the biggest problems, right now, is that there are still millions of medical professionals giving out WRONG information about oils, type 2 diabetes, sugar etc. Type in: can I eat potatoes on the keto diet and read what it says.
I was thinking the same. For example at 1:32 when he mentions the pacific islanders, they're actually eating the coconut whole which is way different from consuming coconut oil.
The Dr that pushed the high fat low carb diet didn't he die of heart disease? Was it the Atkins diet? That's not a very good sign, HOWEVER, I did know someone with a cholesterol of over 300, who lowered their Cholesterol by not eating meat, dairy or saturated fats. I do not desire to give up meat & dairy, but neither will I eat a lot of saturated fat & red meat. My good cholesterol is high. I do like to eat an almond flour mug cake with coconut oil 3 times a wk. I should really push up the green leafy veggies too.
You are so right, hey Doctor you need to answer me, I'm special, I'm 44 days on 1 TBSP coconut oil mix with 8 oz apple juice every morning on empty stomach trying to fight gallstones, I'm kind of worry about the saturate fat on coconut but if it was bad I should have had all kind of gallstones attack on the contrary not only I don't have attack my bloating gone, constipation gone, eat a lot and poop a lot, I increased the oil dose to 2 TBSP 2 weeks ago. guess what happen? bowel movement changed, right after juice I poop solid stool Bristol stool chart 3 and 4, 30 mins later after breakfast I poop again Bristol stool chart 5 and 6. is that a good sign? Should I continue till my next ultrasound? let me know and If my stones gone completely gone i'll let you know so you can tell the world and save millions gallbladder.
Can you show the research showing HDL to LDL ratio being more important than what we have known since the 70s: that having a cholesterol higher than 50-70mg/dl blood increases risk of heart disease and stroke.
Lol, thats a complete myth you read on some stupid blog. Its funny that myths like that are spread around. Both VLDL and LDL causes atherosclerosis. One is worse than the other, but they are both the problem.
Starry Night * Both sizes of LDL cholesterol are bad. Mark Hyman is a huckster that sells the test for LDL particle size cholesterol. He's making millions.
it is not cholesterol and it is of the swelling of the arteries ,swollen arteries first layer become soft and LDL will stick and start clogging so one will have a high blood pressure for a instant my own blood pressure is 120/70 pulse is 52 to 60. My recommendation is to eat cold press extra virgin coconut oil plus coco powder ,ginger powder ,turmeric powder black pepper powder in to a fruit bowl and add banana and papaya it will make a very taste fruit salad not only that stop eating wheat flour altogether and strictly no sugar what so ever and myself eat 10 hard boil eggs a day and plenty of raw vegs including moringa and stinging nettle leaves and 6lts of water as daily routing stretching and strengthening exercise plus hill walking and skipping and practice Tai Chi . For anyone information I was a diabetic thanks to Dr:Meto manage to reverse it and now my sugar leval at random is 85 to 145 as for cholesterol HDL60 LDL 125 Triglycerides 54 and Iam 66years.
The issue with referencing to certain groups of people eating certain things and not having cardiovascular issues is, that you would have to ask how long they have been doing it. If the answer is thousands of years, that group may have certain genes that protect them. Eg natives from Greenland have certain genes that make them digest fat better and eat enough A vitamins to kill other people - something that have killed multiple arctic explorers. So is that the case for the consumption of coconut oil on the tropical islands full of coconuts?
We have to increase our fruit and veg, while not eating out. No take away…no restaurants. No ready meals. Again…no take away or restaurants. No ready made anything. No cafe visits.
LDL Cholesterol is not a "bad" cholesterol. The body doesn't consciously manufacture life-threatening things. I've read that LDL is used for temporarily patching up imperfections in the blood system lining. So if one is slowly killing themselves with bad food and bad lifestyle, the body keeps patching up the faulty areas building up "plaque". If you change your lifestyle AND/OR if you take up intermittent fasting and stop eating after sundown (THE #1 rule for fasting) you will naturally heal. And it was modern medicine that came up with a mental-hint to remember HDL ("Healthy Cholesterol") and LDL ("LETHAL cholesterol"). I am reminded of an MD long ago commenting on how "too much of a good thing (LDL)" could be called a disease. It is the human who continues to damage his body who builds up the LDL trying to fix the damage and like everything - from oxygen to water - too much in excess IS a bad thing. Dr. Hyman, I know, is doing good work and I follow him regularly. But his use of "Bad" cholesterol is not appreciated or acceptable. The American people need to wake up to the fact that they have been duped by the food industry and it's marketing AND the AMA and many but not all doctors are complicit in that. Today in 2021 we're seeing just how corrupt "the science we're supposed to trust is." Just look at Dr. Fauci. First he said in late 2019/early 2020 that COVID was nothing to worry about and to go about your normal routine. THen he said a mask was not necessary. Now we can't count the times that he has switched to 1 or 2 or 3 masks and for "a short period of time" to now maybe forever. Much of medicine is a mafia. THe people only need to look at what Cuomo and Whitmer did that caused tens of thousands of lives. It is exactly what Louis Farrahkan, a person I'm not aligned with, who said in public on camera that Bill Gates was part of a movement/cause to depopulate the world using vaccines. He said "What gives you the right to decide who lives and who dies?" That was at least a year ago. Now what are we seeing. People dying of vaccinations just like Farrahkan warned us of. Follow Dr. Hyman's advice and you will rarely get sick - based on my experience. Are as retired MD Dr. Alan Greenwell said that the best way to stay healthy is to avoid doctor's offices and drugs and lead a natural live eating good food, see a naturopathic physician if needed, get plenty of exercise, etc. Or as Dr. Marcia Angell said (summary) after 20 years as an editor, including chief and executive editor, at the New England Journal of Medicine: “It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.” And what happened last year to the other "presitigious' journal - "The Lancet" - they had to retract a study about COVID when the independent reviewers who tried to get the underlying data and details to the study's report, found out that there was no underlying data. It was complete fraud of a "study". And the very small organization that allegedly published it had only about 5 people and NONE of them had medical or biologial scientific background. Wake up America! "They" are out to get us as Farrakhan stated publicly.
I would like to see studies here, the one‘s you mention with the populations that are healthy with a high fat intake they eat while coconuts that have fiber for example counteracting the cholesterol effects. I do love coconut milk and coconut oil but your unfortunately don‘t cite your sources and explain too vaguely. MCTs are only a small part of coconut saturated fats and the main fats are ldl raising. if you have sources that show me otherwise please link them because i would love to still eat a lot of it. We all need to make sure we don‘t give in to our confirmation bias too much though, eventually science will tell.
The older generations of people ate organic food and were healhy. Fast forward to present times... Man has messed up things with GMO foods the majority of people are now sick...
None of the people touting coconut oil mention if it's good for Arteriosclerosis already in progress which most people likely have. I do, stent put in last year. I just began but am stopping. Why add more Trig. For some reason I began one egg every other day last year with it's 200mg of cholesterol. Am I nuts or what? Stopping that nonsense too. Again, I'm clogged enough.
re: Again, I'm clogged enough. So your saying saturated fat causes clogging in arteries. I'm now learning it's the inflammation of the arteries, this triggers a chain reaction to repair, right the inflammation. Which can result in Arteriosclerosis. The Clogged Artery Myth th-cam.com/video/W5RkNboD-Js/w-d-xo.html
The level of HDL is of no consequence. Saturated fat does raise LDL and that is an issues. Coconut oil is not as bad as butter but it is not far behind. This guy is talking up saturated fat. I can't imagine him being involved in the study of nutrition and not know that the honest science is real clear on the fact that saturated fat is harmful - both from coconut oil and butter and every other source. The meat and dairy industries and even the coconut industry sponsor studies and studies are easy to manipulate to show what you want. In one study coconut oil was shown to reduce ldl. However in the study, the participants were required to lose weight. When you lose weight, using almost any method, you will drop cholesterol.
Dr. Hyman, I'm confused about butter being a healthy saturated fat, because in another video of yours, you said dairy, including butter, is not good for us. Could you please make a video explaining this seeming contradiction in this video, and the other video about whether butter is actually good or bad for you? How much butter can we consume if it is healthy, or not healthy for us? Thank you! Kim
I EAT healthy by been a vegetarian. I consume coconut oil in my smoothies,,,,,,not to many carbs or sugars and my triglycerides are 600. How do you explain that??? They blame everything in generics but I believe we are in charge of our bodies....Some people claim coconut oil in your diet is not good....what am I to do???? Help.....
Carbs.......so what do u mean? There are different types. Potatoes and beans, which are awesome for you Then there's flour product carbs like bread and noodles which are garbage. But just saying "carbs" is too geberal.
[ Meditation leads to awareness of telepathy, and awareness of telepathy leads to meditation. ] Honesty socially is more important than DOING to impress others. It’s not what we DO to build social value that matters. It’s the respect we are willing to give, as well as the authenticity and sincerity we have within our personalities. The ideas we choose to participate in matter most: they are either friendly or cruel socially. Material wealth, body size, facial features, or DOING will never create authority by default, which is the ability to pass judgments socially the most. Aristocratic men are hypocritical, cowardly, and jealous. Anger and zero accountability are not replacements for honesty and empathy. No one has control over ideas socially. Authoritarianism is a shallow head game: the refusal to share honesty (friendship) socially. Men with negative intentions will show complete bias against ideas supporting emotional freedom, free thinking, and level states of being. Spiritual development, the focus away from the material and towards psychology ONLY (attraction), is promoted as “not important” by conformist men with abusive, fearful, and pragmatic personalities. Spiritual ideas immediately decentralize power, elevate mood, reduce manipulation, and eliminate leadership. Spirituality places much more emphasis on social inclusion, honesty, and collective consciousness. Authoritarians weaponize the material or development in it and use both as reasons to criticize and remain unfriendly (dishonest). Dishonesty is the only way the idea of power may exist. When friendship is seen as more important than power, material development is subservient to mood. When the material is used to boost self worth and reduce others socially, mood is subordinate to power. Joyful ideas supporting free thinking (telepathy, cooperation, and honesty) encourage growth of the human persona, are anti-manipulative, and promote emotional harmony. Men focusing on the immaterial (personality) and on honesty (friendship) have more evolved minds compared to authoritarians consumed with leadership (power). In order to seek status, alphas intentionally remain closed-minded (materialistic), manipulative (controlling), and antagonistic (blame), while also forming intense judgments (jealousy) about more emotionally developed men. Men with mature minds are authentic with others, focus on humor, and shun the idea of emotional leverage. This makes them an unintentional threat socially to serious and conceited men with elitist personalities focused on dominance. Leadership is not warm, nor is it real. It is used in practice to reduce pride in others and to artificially boost feelings of self worth in an individual focused on social image only. Men focusing on telepathy are contradictory socially to alphas promoting leadership. Men with inherent worth (love for others) are offensive to men trying to prove worth (lack of belief in self) with material development. All men know consciousness (Source) and possess a conscience. Possessing a conscience is knowing right from wrong, and refusing to lie about awareness. No man is exempt from understanding Source (love) within, and all of us know we are mentally connected. The idea of comparing human beings to unaware animals is cunning and manipulative. Alphas rely on shared lying socially about awareness in place of being honest (friendly). Character development is ignored with this psychology. Our feelings (thoughts and beliefs) are transmitted and shared vibrationally and mentally. In order to seek power, which is the intention to emotionally reduce others socially, men must feign unawareness of a conscience. Cruel ideas are deliberately participated in and broadcast mentally promoting social dominance. The willful focus on a friendly collective consciousness is a contrarian idea to human animals playing dumb. Being EQUAL TO in the mind socially IS secure, and the ONLY true expression of emotional security that exists. Authoritarians refuse to focus away from being unfair human animals, and remain consumed with social inequality. This forces an unrelaxed, emotionally tense environment driven by melodrama and contempt for others. Alphas are mentally unstable, have manipulative personalities, and possess low feelings of self worth resulting from the intense focus on anger (authority), apathy (indifference), and advantages (dominance). Ideas rooted in mental dominance (alpha psychology) will never promote honesty (friendship). Alphas are homophobic, and are especially critical of friendly men that are emotionally developed. Men with empathy have already worked through insecurities and judgments to focus on telepathy. Prideful men lying about insecurities within use blame and criticisms to seek control over feelings socially in order to project an image of being stronger. This creates artificial versions of emotional security and more value socially enforced with paranoia and anger. Resorting to vibrational attacks for the purpose of self promotion by reducing worth in others mentally leads to violence. Dominance over feelings is impossible, as we all share thinking. Men with emotional IQ are authentic socially and care about calm feelings more. We are telepathic. There is no choice but to be level with others mentally, and to focus on the ultimate truth of what reality is (connection with Source). Evolved men refuse to criticize other people unprovoked or manipulate the truth. Alphas will always share critical thoughts about other people. Men with emotional depth focus on honesty socially more than alphas, creating non-violence. The idea of a social hierarchy (human authority) is degrading and humiliating. It promotes closed-mindedness, fear, and the social inclusion of violence. Thoughtful men focusing on telepathy, and away from conformity, are judged relentlessly for having elevated emotions by alphas refusing to evolve. Lessor minds intentionally share cruel beliefs together promoting the social exclusion of men with empathy socializing positive. These men are mental only in focus, never play head games, and are level in the mind with all. Alphas seek emotional support and validation from each other socially, since the ideas they participate in are rooted in dishonor and physical aggression. Alphas judge honest (friendly) men the most, as they focus away from arrogance entirely, and expect friendship to be returned socially. Passing excessive, unprovoked judgments (authoritarianism) on a better psychology, wavelength, and state of being is jealousy. These criticisms always relate to social harmony and non-violence. Alphas rely on power of numbers to manipulate the truth and to keep primal ideas popular that are intentionally threatening towards men that have already focused away from machismo (lying and fear), and towards telepathy, honesty, and Source. Authoritarians will always promote vibrational attacks against men that have already grown past them in thinking, resulting in petty head games socially. Intelligence is always associated with emotional IQ, and emotional IQ has a direct correlation to the mental focus on social equality. Social equality can only result from honesty (friendship) within the mind. The reason men chose to be honest is because they are aware telepathy is real. It looks stupid to lie about it. Alphas primarily focus on dominance in the mind and social image, and focus entirely away from telepathy within. This reduces their emotional IQ socially. Because of this, alphas will always feel inferior to more honest (friendly) men. Alphas must always focus on acting skills to socialize, since the inner persona is focused only on criticisms, violence, and dishonesty. This creates a shallow personality with a dumb vibe. Forceful thinking men will always share jealousy with men sharing respect with more emotional depth. Only men with emotional IQ can form real personas vibrationally that are not shallow. It is only when the inner mind matches the outer persona that a human being can be likable socially. Shallow men are associated with lying and are not respected when it comes to intelligence, creating situations where they are avoided socially. This angers the minds of men possessing a lower psychology, which often creates unprovoked violent reactions. When thinking is focused on honesty, feelings radiate soft. When thinking is focused on lying, feelings radiate threatening. Machismo and compassion are polar opposites. Machismo will never allow for healing to occur, while compassion is the promotion of both healing and emotional growth. Men focused on compassion will always outsmart less mature men with arrogance sharing no respect. Men will either allow healing (level thinking) to occur socially, or they will attempt to take away pride from others to artificially boost feelings of self worth. Alphas will always attempt to seek an image of more value socially by cheating (violence, greed, or leadership). Judgements from personalities with machismo usually have little substance. Only judgments relating to character issues (dishonesty), violence, or an excessively critical mind have real substance. Passing judgments on men for being honest (friendly) is shallow, arrogant, and completely against the development of our collective consciousness socially. Judgments from alphas are hypocritical, cruel, and reside in dishonor. Shallow judgments from authoritarians will always lead to drama, social inequality, and violence. Alphas focus intensely on cutting other men down unfairly in order to promote a better social image, calling it competitive. It’s time for human beings to let go of classism (psychic warfare) for good. It is jealousy. Secure men are level in the mind and easy to get along with. Alphas resort to conniving and childish head games. Men that focus non-violent and refuse to lie evolve. [ End drama. ] th-cam.com/video/hHcIOwgOHqk/w-d-xo.html ---
I always love your informative videos. I have been eating coconut oil for years and my total cholesterol is 310. My HDL is 65 but my LDL IS 220. My doctor put me on statins but i felt horrible and had leg pains so i had to stop. Any suggestions for supplements?
Hi there, I’m not a doctor but I am a medical student. With your LDL cholesterol being that high it sounds like you have familial hyper cholesterolemia which is a genetic disorder. The best treatment that I know of for this disorder is called Repatha which is a Pcsk9 inhibitor that can cut your cholesterol in half. Look into it and ask your doctor about it. It’s suppose to have less side effects than statins. All the best.
do people in those other countries you mention eat coconut oil or do they eat coconut? there's a difference. I would like to know if in fact they separate the oil from the food and eat it the way Americans do. frying potatoes and some people just eating it from the jar as a supplement of sorts.
If you know how to make extra virgin coconut oil then only one would get great benefits for a instant it lowers sugar and increase HDL and LDL with very good ratio and normalize liver function as for the brain when one consume extra virgin coconut oil liver convert them into ketone in turn revitalize dead cells in the brain and one would have healthy cells and it will function normally.
Hi Dr. Thanks for explaining this thoroughly. I new it was good good but couldn't understand why. For the last week or so o increased the fats and I feel I've been felling better and had more energy to workout. I suffer from fibromyalgia which was recently diagnosed... I thought I was just getting old and that the pain was natural. Im 42, female and. I struggle with weight problems and I'm a type 2 diabetic which I control with diet and exercise. I find that I have to kill my myself at the gym to lose a bit of weight but noticed a huge improvement and fat lose when I started lifting weights. But as you know with fibro I'm usally beat the next day... Any thoughts??? Also, I'm a coffee lover but all of a sudden I cannot even smell it! It grosses me out - craved Gatorade for about a week... Please help! Thanks for your having this channel!!
After 1.5 month of keto my LDL went up above max limit. I did not find any 100% prove that fluffy LDL particles do not cause CVD (I have good HLD and triglycerides). Contrary, most North American medical institutions still consider high LDL as the most important factor that causes CVD. There is NO evidence and clinical tests on large groups of people that clearly prove that raise in LDL as a result of high fat diet will not lead to CVD. So I am replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats. I will try to stay on keto this way. Those guys on the internet just talking, but I have one life and I will not take a chance living with high LDL on keto eating coconut oil with bacon.
After a few months of strickt Keto, our pilot friend had a stroke. He's partially paralyzed, had to learn how to talk again..... It's not worth it. Just keep it simple. Whole foods, plant based. Period. Nothing processed No animals, no sugar or flour....
So I freaked out a bit when my HDL was 73, but given my total cholesterol being 239, that would mean my cholesterol ration is 3.2 - 1, which according to the AHA is very good. Given my ideal blood pressure/vegan diet, should I not be worried then?
What do the Polynesians die of? Why is diabetes is rampant in the Pacific islands. Its when they get away from their whole food traditional diet. Are plant based saturated fats different to animal saturated fats?
I have quite a bit of coconut oil, milk, flour, coconut vegan cheese and butter, that I make, and feel fine. Still news come out every week and some warning about the cholesterol thing and makes me nervous.
Hi, personal experience is enough for observation but not for direct conclusions as a doctor i think hr knows about these bias. i don't reject nor aprove what he says i just need sources and methodic experiments results to make myself a solid opinion. If those sources exist please give us the links and if not you will need to found experiments to be more credible. I know it is youtube but come on, i will need more than a convincing looking doctor to change habits to something as important as health.
I stopped eating bad oils, refined carbs and sugar 3 years ago when Covid hit. I learned from you, Mark when I was house bound and nothing to do but surf the internet. So some good came out of Covid (if you look for it) My son thought I was nuts until one day he took out some vegetable oil and started cooking with it. It was rancid….! He is no an olive oil lover.
Whole eggs?! That's seriously horrible for your body! Put it this way. "Normal chickens" only used to lay like 1 egg every 25 days. So, only through genetically modified chickens, who lay 1 each day, AND animal farming, are you able to eat 1 egg per day. Does that sound natural though? 1 egg has as much cholesterol as 6 big Macs with cheese. ...all I'm saying, think about what you're doing 😊✌💜
@@adorable3817 what if you are eating an egg from a different chicken every day? Chickens are flock animals so you are going to get plenty of eggs from different chickens. And I'm pretty sure chickens were bread rather than genetically modified to produce more eggs.
What about having a video-talk with Dr Greger...........bring both your points, could be elucidating. thanks consider this Dr Hyman.............this is a suggestion from a CAM physician since 40 years
I always thought coconut was not sat fat so never advioded it. I changed my fats from the bad sort to the good sort a few yrs ago and feel healthier. I don't need to lose weight but knew my lifestyle wasn't good for me.
Dear sheep's, I honestly believe that if somebody(dr. or no dr.) says something on a screen, the sheep's will agree. Why? Because the sheep's are too lazy to think/ research for themselves. Behehe
So true people don't look into the studies they reference to realise that fucking dumb and bias. Oil is bad end fucking of. Don't promote this shit just say it's a less healthy food and should opt for others ffs
Great video, but I would like to point out that there are now studies that show HDL is not as a significant marker as LDL cholesterol when it comes to CVD regardless of particle size. Studies show that high LDL in general is bad, especially in the presence of inflammation and oxidation. Another point is someone who has an LP(a) higher than 30 should try extra hard in lowering their LDL. Their primary objective should be to decrease LDL because high levels of LP(a) alter the way LDL functions making it even more atherogenic. Also, Pacific Islanders ate whole coconut vs just the oil and it makes a huge difference because of the fiber. If you do take coconut oil you should make sure your fiber intake is adequate. Also, there are studies now that show the saturated fat in coconut oil is just as bad as eating fat from red meat when it comes to increasing LDL. Yes, the LDL profile was better in coconut oil subjects, but as I stated, the primary goal should be to lower LDL regardless of particle size because most studies to date show that high levels of LDL are related to CVD. If you want to improve mitochondria function and therefore increase your energy, among other things, then use MCT oil instead. It may still increase your LDL, but no where near what coconut oil will do. Yes, there are many things that contribute to CVD, but high LDL is a big risk factor. Research some studies and you will know.
Wrong, most new studies are associating High healthy LDL levels with some of the longest living people in the world that have the least amount of Dementia and Alzheimer's and several other degenerative diseases. Those are the emerging true scientifically backed facts.
@@beardumaw24 Yes, I've seen some of those studies as well. Been a while since my original comment. In any case, cholesterol or LDL is not dangerous unless there is inflammation and/or oxidation. If there is no inflammation or oxidation then nothing to worry about regardless of numbers. My LDL particle number is a little over 2000, but I have done intermittent fasting going 16-18 hours daily without eating and have done so for at least the last 20 years. All my inflammatory markers are great and I had a full body CT scan and carotid artery ultrasound done back in April 2022 and test results showed I had ZERO plaque. So, I am living proof that LDL MAY not be that big a deal and like you said actually beneficial. However, I personally believe that every person is different and there are many other variables that come into play when it comes to disease in general. BTW, I've been in health care as a functional medicine practitioner for the last 27 years. What I have found in my experience is that you can find one study that shows LDL is bad, while another study will show it is good. There will always be conflicting studies. You really have to look at life experiences and in my practice, I have come to find that HDL and triglycerides along with inflammation and oxidative stress are the most important markers to look at. Take care!
Que triste es ver que una supuesta eminencia de una institución tan prestigiada como es la universidad de Harvard,se tome la libertad de hacer una afirmación sin sustentos y sobre todo de una forma tan descarada y al mismo tiempo tan inocente,me imagino que la cifra de dinero habría sido muy grande como para poder rechazarla,pero al final qué poco ético y hasta criminal hacer ese tipo de afirmaciones,lo peor es que se contradice inocentemente,al afirmar que todavía no hay estudios suficientes,entonces? Si realmente es cierto que el aceite de coco así como la chía y el azaí no son buenos,como se atreve a afirmar que es veneno??
I have been consuming a spoonful of coconut oil each morning, along side a Cod Liver Oil capsule (500mg) washed done with a pint of water containing two tea spoons of apple cider vinegar for nearly a year now and feel fine. In fact, my wife has had 4 colds this past winter, and out of those 4, only one touched me but only lasted a week with minimal symptoms. I am 53, physically active both in work and personal training regime.
Don't forget that studies are driven by whoever funds them - one time butter was bad and margarine good. In the UK where I live, we were once told eggs were bad for you, now they are good. Same for the soft drink industry and sugar free products: studies show they are good for you, but who funds the studies? Unbiased, clear cut studies are difficult to attain, so everyone has to do their own research as best they can weighed up against so-called official studies.

Hello from Zimbabwe Africa - I am a Zimbabwean of British decent and eat a British based diet resonant of pre 2nd world war - fresh whole food - home grown vegetables - home cooked meals from scratch - aren't we lucky - I love listening to all your blogs dr hyman - how sad it is that America is facing such a food dilemma - I am two years from 60 years - in good health - loving life - coconut oil two tablespoons a day has helped my mother of 85 return to her obsession with crosswords!! Thank you for all your concern for all our good health!!
gail Fernandes how did it do that?
Gail......go for it and best of luck.....yours.....A postwar Brit...(same age as you).
Here in Missouri, I heard of a man who ate 9 spoonful's of raw organic cocoanut oil a day and cured himself of Alzheimer's in 3 months.
Is bad for health, is just a fact check Dr Greger real scientific research
I'd love to see the scientists from both sides come together and clear this once and for all. Someone is very wrong.
the "wrong" side is the side trying to take your $$$. So ask yourself, which side is trying to take your money? The meat and dairy industry? or the plant industry? Hint: there is no organized plant industry. But meat and dairy... well you know the story about those guys. They're just a tad less confusing the the tabacco industry of the past. Remember, tabacco industry's motto back then and even still today: "tabacco doesn't cause lung cancer". Yeah.
So you think that Dr. Hyman is getting kickbacks from the meat and dairy industry to try and talk us into eating Coconut oil? With that kind of logic you should start a church.
I support no food industry, i rather get good quality product from people that produce good healthy food. That's why i mostly buy organic stuff from small farmers directly or grow it myself in the garden. It's just so damn confusing when some scientists claim a certain food is bad for you, but then use the lowest quality industrially produced version of that food in the studies or make false conclusions although studies were done right.
Check out nutritionfacts.org. It's a nonprofit that compiles academic studies and boils it all down. You can see the studies that prove the exact opposite of what this guy is saying - and it easily pokes holes in all this guys bullshit. We know how to cure and reverse heart disease and this guy is doing real harm.
Carolyn Hillman what about the monolaurin in coconut oil. It helps with disease from getting viruses etc.
finally a good explanation, we normally just hear "it's good" or "it's bad" and I find your talk logical thanks
....without sources? You just blindly accept his opinion? I prefer to base my decisions on facts. Do you know if he has any relating to this subject?
With increasing saturated (healthy fats) as supplements to meals like Almond and Coconut Butter/Oil... I've seen my fat grams double... and been able to reduce my carb intake by 30-40%, not intentionally. It just seems like it goes hand in hand with the adjustment in the diet where by increasing protein this seemed to be the trend. Feel better, more energy, weight loss and better results from excercising.
My grandmother (a Filipina) had a small parcel of coconut plantation where she produced copras and home made Coconut oil that she used for cooking. She only stopped using coconut oil when she died at the age of 91 due to ulcer caused by stress from quitting smoking.
May she rest in peace... bro was she using RBD coconut oil or a virgin coconut oil ?
Thankyou Mark .... i only wish you'd educate more of the doctors out there pushing margarine and other man made oils .
That is like arguing that omiga 6s are bad
If enough omiga 3 is present than omiga 6 is heallthy
I have been eating a high fat diet almost all my life. Saturated and unsaturated. Including coconut oil palm oil palm oil.butter and lard
I add fat to almost every meal
BUT I NEVER EAT ANY PROCCESSED OR REFINED FATS OR OILS
I am very healthy age 72. Thank you for the excellent vidio
Coconut oil IS processed.
Bottles of the oil don't just grow on the trees. It also doesn't magically drip out of the nut and into a bottle.
Oil is a processed food.
Better to eat whole foods 😉
@@adorable3817 Coconut oil is extracted. Not refined.
Coconut oil is almost the healthiest fat you can consume. There are no health problems associated with coconut oil. JUST BENEFITS!!!!!!!!
Total cholesterol - HDL ratio should be below 4.5
Triglycerides - HDL ratio should be below 1.5
I love Coconut Oil, and use it every day in my cooking, smoothies and health care products! Thank you Dr. Hyman for let all of us know the right fats to eat. I have Fibro and Diabities and this is really helping keep my Blood sugar low and my pain low. Thanks!
How do you know it's right? Is it because, he tells you what you want to hear? Look at the evidence, pubmed.com... Coconut is bad if you use is as a cooking oil... if you use less than a teaspoon a day..it MAY be ok..
You are wrong and confused. Go to nutritionfacts.org and go with evidence based nutrition.
@@machiavelli3825 Pacific Islanders traditionally cook their foods not by frying but by roasting or boiling. Coconut oil is consumed in the form of coconut meat BEFORE the white man landed on their shores.
I have really bad anxiety and 2 tsp coconut oil a day with my morning smoothies helps my brain fog go away..
Placebo bullshit. Why not choose a magic ingredient for your brain fog that won't make you sick?
Reverend, it would be advantageous to study up on fish and coconut oil's effects on brain fog. It may help you with comments like that.
After taking coconut oil, I feel better than sunflower oil
@@Karthickeyanganesan never use sunflower oil
As Filipino and islanders in the Philippines, what I can say is coconut oil is the super super healthy food on the planet. some are saying fake advertisement because they want to sell their processed foods like, margarine, butter, cheese, canola, soya, etc, all of there contains saturated fats, and trans fat, and they are genetically modified food. Do more research on coconut oil, and you will be shock about the super healthy benefits of COCONUT OIL. Anyway they say olive oil is the best, yes I agree, but don't you know that it was not 100 percent olive oi, because they are mixing it with other oil, , better use virgin coconut oil.
In Okinawa we ate coconut oil with the locals numerous times a week, they are so healthy. We DONT do it in Louisiana, and have a few issues.
I feel so good since I have started taking coconut oil. My headaches have stopped. I wake up without lower backache. Im 68 yrs, and would like to know how long should I continue using it?
BRILLIANT!!!!!! Everyone tells me I’m wrong about coconut but I’ve been embracing it for 7 years. I’ll b 39 this year. I feel incredible🥥
u look 49 and saggy 😂😂😂😂

I have just recently started to use coconut oil on my face and can't believe what a difference it has made. My skin is much softer now and l also eat some everyday.
we in asean countries eat drink coconut oil daily for centuries and nobody died of it...its good n beneficial
I don't know who to believe cause half of the people I talk to say its bad for you, and most regular doctors say coconut oil is bad for you. I think the best advice is to use it in moderation like anything else.
Don't believe your medical doctor. They have no nutritional knowledge. I listen to Dr. Mark Hyman and Dr. Mercola. Also Dr. Perlmutter believes you need to eat healthy fats.
I'll believe my own body...I tried coconut milk for the first time yesterday, got the worse case of runs I ever had! Went 3 x's in the morning, took an hour walk & couldn't make it home, had to drop my pants in back of somebody's garage. I "think" nobody was looking but i can't be sure but at least I left them a thank you tissue; I mean who goes out without some toilet paper on a day like that? anyway then 5 more times later that day I admit it was me who broke the toilet seat. Yeah I'm sure there's an antidote but I don't know it cause right now my left arm is giving me pains so I'm not sure if I'll wake up really skinny or not at all. Either way call 911 cause I haven't lost this much in one day since I popped all that water when I was born!...true story
B Charron I say to look at some primary and secondary literature and then determine for yourself. From the research I've done, everything he is saying in the video is pretty much spot on.
seeamerica1, seems like you caught a bug or your body went into detox mode. I don't do the milk, just the cold-pressed organic kind. Used it for 14 years for Candida, and never had cholesterol problems. I listen to my body, not doctors since they were the ones who almost caused my demise, by feeding me steroids for asthma. Do your research. Sometimes what's good for one person, is poison for another. Goes the same way with allopathic meds. Wish you a healthy life.
B Charron - i wouldn't believe people who spread the bullshit that fat is bad for you. Yet, they put sugar in all the food they removed fat from - so it tastes better. Look what low fat agenda did to Americans - they're the sickest nation on the planet. Yet people, which use coconut products as the staple in their diet (and eat no processed crap, especially carbs) are among the healthiest people alive. Combination of carbs and fat = disease.
Happy to report Ive been on quality coconut oil for 7 months... I have
MS with fatigue & brain fog (as well as other symptoms), it has
helped. There many other uses for it also. Ive seen great improvements
in alzheimer, dementia etc...patients also. If anyone is concerned with
saturated fat (big pharma & cooking oil propaganda) they can use
quality coconut oil for cooking instead of lard, butter, crisco, veg
oil, even olive oil - most of which isnt even made from olives btw
Hello Dr. I grew up in as a vegetarian. College life and peer pressure has lead me to embrace western diet (bad idea decision on my part)
10 years later, in early 30's, still on western diet, I started having skin problems, dry skin, start using deodorant, my lips are dry, losing hair. My fart stink so bad.
Then I was put on cholesterol meds and bl press meds. BTW, I'm type 1 since I was 15y/o.
Last year ago I made a conscious choice and I did it cold turkey. No titration. I went back to vegetarian diet. I cut out bread, pasta and anything potatoes and it's kinda. No soda or processed except cheese.
My sweets comes from raw honey and I refuse to cook it. My oils comes from coconut, butter, milk, seed and nuts plus I eat them raw.
Happy to note, dandruff and dry skin have subsided, not wearing deodorant for months, my fart isn't stinky and sour my skin color did came back. I have full head of hair.
I'm in the process of loooooosing weighting. I've lost 80lb of my first 6 months.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, to your family, and to all your subscribers.
Poor diet,
Thanks Dr Hyman, I thank you for the information. I have been using Coconut Oil to help heal my stomach issues and digestive problems and it seems to be helping. My cholesterol levels were slightly elevated due to stomach lining inflammation and I am doing just fine. So, I highly recommend anyone having digestive or stomach problems to use Coconut Oil to help them as well. Have a great evening. Sincerely, Rob (Canada)
How are your stomach issues now? I am taking coconut oil for gastritis. Think it will help? It has made my skin softer and smoother.
@@Musician_Robert Thanks. I tried aloe Vera juice but it lowered my already low blood pressure and made me weak and tired. I would like to try cabbage juice but I read people get weird effects from it. I bought a juicer so I might go for a bit to see how it makes me feel.
I started on KETOGENIC DIET or lifestylechange on july 13 2020. I only use coconutoil, butter and oliveoils. My health has improved significantly, my pains from arthritis in knees and ancles are reduced 80% , my bloodpressure after years intake of bloodpressure pills is normal as well as my bloodsugar level and cholesterol levels. And since my change I hsve lost over 30 pounds. I want to lose 100, but the health is a big surprise to me. I am a 68 year old Danish male, residing in Denmark
Thank you so much! My cholesterol went way up after using coconut oil but my ratio was still good so my dr wasn't worried. I didn't know whether to stop or not.
What is your ldl cholestrol
Just eat plant based whole foods (a lot of this, and organic if possible), or grass fed animal origin whole foods (in moderation). Reduce the sugar intake to the minimum, don't eat processed foods or fast foods. If you don't have time to cook, grab some whole raw veggies and fruits, and some nuts (walnuts are some of the healthiest -and nuts also in moderation), and you have a meal. Also, do some kind of exercise (like walking 30 to 60 minutes every day) and you will be alright.
Use your intelligence to eat, good luck!!
I agree! ...just please reconsider meat 🙏 even grass fed - it's all not only bad for us, but there's literally nothing in it that we need. 🤷♀️
Animals are fed B12 supplements.
And STILL I had iron and B12 deficiency while consuming meat on a regular basis 😳 Since eating only whole food plant based.... all levels up to normal.
My doctor, sceptical of my diet, ordered blood work. She was impressed with the results. Even wrote it on the results.
Did you see Joe Rogan's interview with James Wilks?
@@adorable3817 you are right, I`m a fish guy and plant based foods, I don`t eat processed foods, sodas, white breads,past(only whole grain) I eat tons of greens and fruit and now I have been taking coconut oil in my morning coffee, feel great.
I've been taking MCT Coconut oil and it has helped me so much, I was in pain every time I layed on my stumoch and after two months the pain has gone away about 97% of the time.
I also heard you on a podcast yesterday. What you said makes sense. My father had a heart attack at 48 but his cholesterol level was fine.
What about his lp(a) level? or CRP?
Sorry to hear that, and I hope your father survived it. ❤️
I am guessing the answer for this is It is always BAD to eat too much even if it is good food.
I felt a little bit of chest pain after a few weeks of drinking coconut oil every day. Last research and tests is showing that coconut oil raises both good and bad colesterol, it’s t true. But it raises more the bad one...
Islanders ate coconut meat, not oil.
Don Da Won Yes, my mom is Jamaican and she says they would never eat coconut oil bc it clogs your arteries.
Such a good point!
same thing
+zakiah tukes thank you for letting us know
Wrong Don Da Won, I am an islander and grew up on home-made coconut oil. In our food, on our skin and hair. Not the KFC, Macdonald's etc, etc. Nobody had these issues from the intrusion of the SAD..
I am frustrated! After a year of cutting carbs and sugars, increasing healthy fats, my small ldl numbers are up! I reduced my dosage of statins and am pleased that it is now 160 after only a few months, but the small particles are up by 5%. However, I exercise daily, sauna daily, sleep well 7 hours nightly, and eat better than I ever have…. I am Apo E 3-4. Could that have something to do with it. I’ve made these changes because of the education I am getting from you. I love FunctionMedicine! Thank you! I even changed doctors to get a person more open to lowering my statin. My mental acuity is improved. It’s just those darn small particle ldl! HELP!
I have never been healthier since I have been eating coconut oil and other saturated fats. Ive cut all refined sugars and carbs out and I’m at my ideal weight. The coconut oil also helps with my inflammation of my knee which hasn’t been this good since I had my cartilage removed. I have also noticed I have less wrinkles then my friends at the same age.
The powrr of the mind 😁✌
To those saying whole coconut is healthy and the refined oil is un-healthy because the fiber is removed don't know wtf your talking about, the digestive system weeds out the fiber and absorbs the oil, it separates the oil and the fiber and you absorb the oil and shit out the fiber, fiber never gets past the digestive tract, cold pressing coconut meat to get the oil is just doing what your digestive system would already do, in other words, while your digestive system can tell the difference between whole coconut meat and the oil, your heart cannot tell the difference between eating the oil cold pressed or eating the whole coconut meat, because like I said the fibers never get past the digestive tract
DISCOVER the difference between cold pressed coconut and processed coconut from copra
coconut oil is excellent for you
No.
lol
@@razerfish Very good for you.
@@alanrastelli Idiot.
Thank you and God Bless you!!!! Fact ..i love coconut oil...
Well it worked for my autoimmune disease, Sytemic Sclerosis. I cut out the carbs and took more satuarated fats and I started to feel healthy. I had no energy but felt healthier after eating greens, goats milk, porridge, cruciferous veg and fish BUT JUST NO ENERGY. A doctor on youtube said eating for autoimmune disease to get energy back one must eat high fats and lots of it. Surely enough my energy came back in drips. Now it's sustained. Had my brain tested as doctors thought I was getting brain disease but the surgeon said it's due to high Cholesterol as classic signs in the brain. I said that must be due to my diet. He said well you are doing healthy on it considering your disease but start to bring the fats (oils) amount down and see you later for change (appointment end of June 2017). however, if I ate the coconut oil with carbs now I would be hospitalised. So the end part of this video makes absolute sense. I'm also immunosuppressed and for the first time can't shake of this cold/vurus I have. Gets better then comes on again and repeating etc. I'm going to incorporate coconut oil again for a bit (not like before, just a spoonful in morning with manuka honey, turmeric, black pepper, lemon juice, fermented vinegar, spuruluna and mix of herbal teas) cos last year when I was eating it a lot, I didn't get any colds despite I was around people with colds and being immunosuporessed. It's about looking at the bigger picture indepthly. Coconut oil is good as long as you totally ditch the carbs otherwise you will have a heart attack or problems if you eat it with carbs.
I can see the benefits of using coconut oil. Does anyone use coconut butter and are there health benefits for using it?
people in old homes , the ones that have high colesterol , have a longer life
No. True, many elderly have very low cholesterol because they are in a sickly condition. This biases the data. In no way is it good for an older person to have high cholesterol. But that is the type of bullshit study that the self-promoting hucksters like Mark Hyman mention.
I'm 34 and that is why I am moving to an old age home I will live longer.
One of the biggest problems, right now, is that there are still millions of medical professionals giving out WRONG information about oils, type 2 diabetes, sugar etc. Type in: can I eat potatoes on the keto diet and read what it says.
He's conflating three different things, coconut oil, MCT oil, and whole coconut. While the three may be related, they are significantly different.
I was thinking the same. For example at 1:32 when he mentions the pacific islanders, they're actually eating the coconut whole which is way different from consuming coconut oil.
really excellent sir - thank you.
Have been eating (and swishing) Coconut Oil for a couple years now - and Wow -
I can't say enough good about it.
What about canned coconut milk? Healthy or not?
Thank you very much once again for speaking the truth Dr. Hyman!
It's his opinion his interpretation - without cited sources.
How do you know it's the truth?!
The Dr that pushed the high fat low carb diet didn't he die of heart disease? Was it the Atkins diet? That's not a very good sign, HOWEVER, I did know someone with a cholesterol of over 300, who lowered their Cholesterol by not eating meat, dairy or saturated fats.
I do not desire to give up meat & dairy, but neither will I eat a lot of saturated fat & red meat. My good cholesterol is high. I do like to eat an almond flour mug cake with coconut oil 3 times a wk.
I should really push up the green leafy veggies too.
Thank you. I asked my doctor for an NMR test and he said No. I have a new doctor so I will ask again.
You are so right, hey Doctor you need to answer me, I'm special, I'm 44 days on 1 TBSP coconut oil mix with 8 oz apple juice every morning on empty stomach trying to fight gallstones, I'm kind of worry about the saturate fat on coconut but if it was bad I should have had all kind of gallstones attack on the contrary not only I don't have attack my bloating gone, constipation gone, eat a lot and poop a lot, I increased the oil dose to 2 TBSP 2 weeks ago. guess what happen? bowel movement changed, right after juice I poop solid stool Bristol stool chart 3 and 4, 30 mins later after breakfast I poop again Bristol stool chart 5 and 6. is that a good sign?

Another source said that organic coconut oil is great , regular coconut oil was a problem.
Can you show the research showing HDL to LDL ratio being more important than what we have known since the 70s: that having a cholesterol higher than 50-70mg/dl blood increases risk of heart disease and stroke.
since the 70s diagnostics have refined to look more closely at TYPE of LDL. Big fluffy PARTICLES are there for a reason.
Lol, thats a complete myth you read on some stupid blog. Its funny that myths like that are spread around. Both VLDL and LDL causes atherosclerosis. One is worse than the other, but they are both the problem.
Starry Night * Both sizes of LDL cholesterol are bad. Mark Hyman is a huckster that sells the test for LDL particle size cholesterol. He's making millions.
it is not cholesterol and it is of the swelling of the arteries ,swollen arteries first layer become soft and LDL will stick and start clogging so one will have a high blood pressure for a instant my own blood pressure is 120/70 pulse is 52 to 60.
My recommendation is to eat cold press extra virgin coconut oil plus coco powder ,ginger powder ,turmeric powder black pepper powder in to a fruit bowl and add banana and papaya it will make a very taste fruit salad not only that stop eating wheat flour altogether and strictly no sugar what so ever and myself eat 10 hard boil eggs a day and plenty of raw vegs including moringa and stinging nettle leaves and 6lts of water as daily routing stretching and strengthening exercise plus hill walking and skipping and practice Tai Chi .
For anyone information I was a diabetic thanks to Dr:Meto manage to reverse it and now my sugar leval at random is 85 to 145 as for cholesterol HDL60 LDL 125 Triglycerides 54 and Iam 66years.
@@sunilgunatilake3576 great advice. Thanks.
The issue with referencing to certain groups of people eating certain things and not having cardiovascular issues is, that you would have to ask how long they have been doing it. If the answer is thousands of years, that group may have certain genes that protect them. Eg natives from Greenland have certain genes that make them digest fat better and eat enough A vitamins to kill other people - something that have killed multiple arctic explorers. So is that the case for the consumption of coconut oil on the tropical islands full of coconuts?
We have to increase our fruit and veg, while not eating out. No take away…no restaurants. No ready meals. Again…no take away or restaurants. No ready made anything. No cafe visits.
Love love love your explanation just 👌 😘
LDL Cholesterol is not a "bad" cholesterol. The body doesn't consciously manufacture life-threatening things. I've read that LDL is used for temporarily patching up imperfections in the blood system lining. So if one is slowly killing themselves with bad food and bad lifestyle, the body keeps patching up the faulty areas building up "plaque". If you change your lifestyle AND/OR if you take up intermittent fasting and stop eating after sundown (THE #1 rule for fasting) you will naturally heal.
And it was modern medicine that came up with a mental-hint to remember HDL ("Healthy Cholesterol") and LDL ("LETHAL cholesterol"). I am reminded of an MD long ago commenting on how "too much of a good thing (LDL)" could be called a disease. It is the human who continues to damage his body who builds up the LDL trying to fix the damage and like everything - from oxygen to water - too much in excess IS a bad thing.
Dr. Hyman, I know, is doing good work and I follow him regularly. But his use of "Bad" cholesterol is not appreciated or acceptable. The American people need to wake up to the fact that they have been duped by the food industry and it's marketing AND the AMA and many but not all doctors are complicit in that.
Today in 2021 we're seeing just how corrupt "the science we're supposed to trust is." Just look at Dr. Fauci. First he said in late 2019/early 2020 that COVID was nothing to worry about and to go about your normal routine. THen he said a mask was not necessary. Now we can't count the times that he has switched to 1 or 2 or 3 masks and for "a short period of time" to now maybe forever.
Much of medicine is a mafia. THe people only need to look at what Cuomo and Whitmer did that caused tens of thousands of lives. It is exactly what Louis Farrahkan, a person I'm not aligned with, who said in public on camera that Bill Gates was part of a movement/cause to depopulate the world using vaccines. He said "What gives you the right to decide who lives and who dies?" That was at least a year ago. Now what are we seeing. People dying of vaccinations just like Farrahkan warned us of.
Follow Dr. Hyman's advice and you will rarely get sick - based on my experience. Are as retired MD Dr. Alan Greenwell said that the best way to stay healthy is to avoid doctor's offices and drugs and lead a natural live eating good food, see a naturopathic physician if needed, get plenty of exercise, etc.
Or as Dr. Marcia Angell said (summary) after 20 years as an editor, including chief and executive editor, at the New England Journal of Medicine: “It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.”
And what happened last year to the other "presitigious' journal - "The Lancet" - they had to retract a study about COVID when the independent reviewers who tried to get the underlying data and details to the study's report, found out that there was no underlying data. It was complete fraud of a "study". And the very small organization that allegedly published it had only about 5 people and NONE of them had medical or biologial scientific background.
Wake up America! "They" are out to get us as Farrakhan stated publicly.
you do not long chain saturated fats our liver makes all the cholesterol we need. This "doctor" is an idiot
I would like to see studies here, the one‘s you mention with the populations that are healthy with a high fat intake they eat while coconuts that have fiber for example counteracting the cholesterol effects. I do love coconut milk and coconut oil but your unfortunately don‘t cite your sources and explain too vaguely. MCTs are only a small part of coconut saturated fats and the main fats are ldl raising. if you have sources that show me otherwise please link them because i would love to still eat a lot of it. We all need to make sure we don‘t give in to our confirmation bias too much though, eventually science will tell.
Butter and coconut oil if unpasteurised is GOOD for you. If its been pasteurised its BAD for you.
God 🤦🏻♀️!
why every food we ate and survived for billions of years now need to be scientifically proved and for what?
The older generations of people ate organic food and were healhy.
Fast forward to present times...
Man has messed up things with GMO foods the majority of people are now sick...
None of the people touting coconut oil mention if it's good for Arteriosclerosis already in progress which most people likely have. I do, stent put in last year. I just began but am stopping. Why add more Trig. For some reason I began one egg every other day last year with it's 200mg of cholesterol. Am I nuts or what? Stopping that nonsense too. Again, I'm clogged enough.
Take D3 K2 for Arteriosclerosis. Or do nothing and complain.
re: Again, I'm clogged enough.
So your saying saturated fat causes clogging in arteries. I'm now learning it's the inflammation of the arteries, this triggers a chain reaction to repair, right the inflammation. Which can result in Arteriosclerosis.

The level of HDL is of no consequence. Saturated fat does raise LDL and that is an issues. Coconut oil is not as bad as butter but it is not far behind. This guy is talking up saturated fat. I can't imagine him being involved in the study of nutrition and not know that the honest science is real clear on the fact that saturated fat is harmful - both from coconut oil and butter and every other source. The meat and dairy industries and even the coconut industry sponsor studies and studies are easy to manipulate to show what you want. In one study coconut oil was shown to reduce ldl. However in the study, the participants were required to lose weight. When you lose weight, using almost any method, you will drop cholesterol.
Thank you Dr. Hyman for clearing that issue up for us.
Dr. Hyman, I'm confused about butter being a healthy saturated fat, because in another video of yours, you said dairy, including butter, is not good for us. Could you please make a video explaining this seeming contradiction in this video, and the other video about whether butter is actually good or bad for you? How much butter can we consume if it is healthy, or not healthy for us? Thank you! Kim
I just want to say I love you Mark.
I EAT healthy by been a vegetarian. I consume coconut oil in my smoothies,,,,,,not to many carbs or sugars and my triglycerides are 600. How do you explain that??? They blame everything in generics but I believe we are in charge of our bodies....Some people claim coconut oil in your diet is not good....what am I to do???? Help.....
Carbs.......so what do u mean?
There are different types.
Potatoes and beans, which are awesome for you
Then there's flour product carbs like bread and noodles which are garbage.
But just saying "carbs" is too geberal.
Please tell me if a person has a coronary stent, is that coconut oil still advisable to eat or take.
[ Meditation leads to awareness of telepathy, and awareness of telepathy leads to meditation. ]
Honesty socially is more important than DOING to impress others. It’s not what we DO to build social value that matters. It’s the respect we are willing to give, as well as the authenticity and sincerity we have within our personalities. The ideas we choose to participate in matter most: they are either friendly or cruel socially. Material wealth, body size, facial features, or DOING will never create authority by default, which is the ability to pass judgments socially the most. Aristocratic men are hypocritical, cowardly, and jealous. Anger and zero accountability are not replacements for honesty and empathy. No one has control over ideas socially.
Authoritarianism is a shallow head game: the refusal to share honesty (friendship) socially. Men with negative intentions will show complete bias against ideas supporting emotional freedom, free thinking, and level states of being. Spiritual development, the focus away from the material and towards psychology ONLY (attraction), is promoted as “not important” by conformist men with abusive, fearful, and pragmatic personalities. Spiritual ideas immediately decentralize power, elevate mood, reduce manipulation, and eliminate leadership. Spirituality places much more emphasis on social inclusion, honesty, and collective consciousness. Authoritarians weaponize the material or development in it and use both as reasons to criticize and remain unfriendly (dishonest). Dishonesty is the only way the idea of power may exist. When friendship is seen as more important than power, material development is subservient to mood. When the material is used to boost self worth and reduce others socially, mood is subordinate to power.
Joyful ideas supporting free thinking (telepathy, cooperation, and honesty) encourage growth of the human persona, are anti-manipulative, and promote emotional harmony. Men focusing on the immaterial (personality) and on honesty (friendship) have more evolved minds compared to authoritarians consumed with leadership (power). In order to seek status, alphas intentionally remain closed-minded (materialistic), manipulative (controlling), and antagonistic (blame), while also forming intense judgments (jealousy) about more emotionally developed men. Men with mature minds are authentic with others, focus on humor, and shun the idea of emotional leverage. This makes them an unintentional threat socially to serious and conceited men with elitist personalities focused on dominance. Leadership is not warm, nor is it real. It is used in practice to reduce pride in others and to artificially boost feelings of self worth in an individual focused on social image only. Men focusing on telepathy are contradictory socially to alphas promoting leadership. Men with inherent worth (love for others) are offensive to men trying to prove worth (lack of belief in self) with material development.
All men know consciousness (Source) and possess a conscience. Possessing a conscience is knowing right from wrong, and refusing to lie about awareness. No man is exempt from understanding Source (love) within, and all of us know we are mentally connected. The idea of comparing human beings to unaware animals is cunning and manipulative. Alphas rely on shared lying socially about awareness in place of being honest (friendly). Character development is ignored with this psychology. Our feelings (thoughts and beliefs) are transmitted and shared vibrationally and mentally. In order to seek power, which is the intention to emotionally reduce others socially, men must feign unawareness of a conscience. Cruel ideas are deliberately participated in and broadcast mentally promoting social dominance. The willful focus on a friendly collective consciousness is a contrarian idea to human animals playing dumb. Being EQUAL TO in the mind socially IS secure, and the ONLY true expression of emotional security that exists. Authoritarians refuse to focus away from being unfair human animals, and remain consumed with social inequality. This forces an unrelaxed, emotionally tense environment driven by melodrama and contempt for others.
Alphas are mentally unstable, have manipulative personalities, and possess low feelings of self worth resulting from the intense focus on anger (authority), apathy (indifference), and advantages (dominance). Ideas rooted in mental dominance (alpha psychology) will never promote honesty (friendship). Alphas are homophobic, and are especially critical of friendly men that are emotionally developed. Men with empathy have already worked through insecurities and judgments to focus on telepathy. Prideful men lying about insecurities within use blame and criticisms to seek control over feelings socially in order to project an image of being stronger. This creates artificial versions of emotional security and more value socially enforced with paranoia and anger. Resorting to vibrational attacks for the purpose of self promotion by reducing worth in others mentally leads to violence. Dominance over feelings is impossible, as we all share thinking. Men with emotional IQ are authentic socially and care about calm feelings more. We are telepathic. There is no choice but to be level with others mentally, and to focus on the ultimate truth of what reality is (connection with Source). Evolved men refuse to criticize other people unprovoked or manipulate the truth. Alphas will always share critical thoughts about other people. Men with emotional depth focus on honesty socially more than alphas, creating non-violence.
The idea of a social hierarchy (human authority) is degrading and humiliating. It promotes closed-mindedness, fear, and the social inclusion of violence. Thoughtful men focusing on telepathy, and away from conformity, are judged relentlessly for having elevated emotions by alphas refusing to evolve. Lessor minds intentionally share cruel beliefs together promoting the social exclusion of men with empathy socializing positive. These men are mental only in focus, never play head games, and are level in the mind with all. Alphas seek emotional support and validation from each other socially, since the ideas they participate in are rooted in dishonor and physical aggression. Alphas judge honest (friendly) men the most, as they focus away from arrogance entirely, and expect friendship to be returned socially. Passing excessive, unprovoked judgments (authoritarianism) on a better psychology, wavelength, and state of being is jealousy. These criticisms always relate to social harmony and non-violence. Alphas rely on power of numbers to manipulate the truth and to keep primal ideas popular that are intentionally threatening towards men that have already focused away from machismo (lying and fear), and towards telepathy, honesty, and Source. Authoritarians will always promote vibrational attacks against men that have already grown past them in thinking, resulting in petty head games socially.
Intelligence is always associated with emotional IQ, and emotional IQ has a direct correlation to the mental focus on social equality. Social equality can only result from honesty (friendship) within the mind. The reason men chose to be honest is because they are aware telepathy is real. It looks stupid to lie about it. Alphas primarily focus on dominance in the mind and social image, and focus entirely away from telepathy within. This reduces their emotional IQ socially. Because of this, alphas will always feel inferior to more honest (friendly) men. Alphas must always focus on acting skills to socialize, since the inner persona is focused only on criticisms, violence, and dishonesty. This creates a shallow personality with a dumb vibe. Forceful thinking men will always share jealousy with men sharing respect with more emotional depth. Only men with emotional IQ can form real personas vibrationally that are not shallow. It is only when the inner mind matches the outer persona that a human being can be likable socially. Shallow men are associated with lying and are not respected when it comes to intelligence, creating situations where they are avoided socially. This angers the minds of men possessing a lower psychology, which often creates unprovoked violent reactions. When thinking is focused on honesty, feelings radiate soft. When thinking is focused on lying, feelings radiate threatening.
Machismo and compassion are polar opposites. Machismo will never allow for healing to occur, while compassion is the promotion of both healing and emotional growth. Men focused on compassion will always outsmart less mature men with arrogance sharing no respect. Men will either allow healing (level thinking) to occur socially, or they will attempt to take away pride from others to artificially boost feelings of self worth. Alphas will always attempt to seek an image of more value socially by cheating (violence, greed, or leadership). Judgements from personalities with machismo usually have little substance. Only judgments relating to character issues (dishonesty), violence, or an excessively critical mind have real substance. Passing judgments on men for being honest (friendly) is shallow, arrogant, and completely against the development of our collective consciousness socially. Judgments from alphas are hypocritical, cruel, and reside in dishonor. Shallow judgments from authoritarians will always lead to drama, social inequality, and violence. Alphas focus intensely on cutting other men down unfairly in order to promote a better social image, calling it competitive.
It’s time for human beings to let go of classism (psychic warfare) for good. It is jealousy. Secure men are level in the mind and easy to get along with. Alphas resort to conniving and childish head games. Men that focus non-violent and refuse to lie evolve.
[ End drama. ]

How about linking the studies? Otherwise we have no idea what studies you are interpreting
I always love your informative videos. I have been eating coconut oil for years and my total cholesterol is 310. My HDL is 65 but my LDL IS 220. My doctor put me on statins but i felt horrible and had leg pains so i had to stop. Any suggestions for supplements?
Hi there, I’m not a doctor but I am a medical student. With your LDL cholesterol being that high it sounds like you have familial hyper cholesterolemia which is a genetic disorder. The best treatment that I know of for this disorder is called Repatha which is a Pcsk9 inhibitor that can cut your cholesterol in half. Look into it and ask your doctor about it. It’s suppose to have less side effects than statins. All the best.
Dr Mandel said in the 80s the cholesterol guidelines were healthy if less than 330. They have raised it so you might be ok.
Is this video still true in 2023? I am asking this because the understanding of nutrition keeps changing. Anyone following medical research know?
do people in those other countries you mention eat coconut oil or do they eat coconut? there's a difference. I would like to know if in fact they separate the oil from the food and eat it the way Americans do. frying potatoes and some people just eating it from the jar as a supplement of sorts.
If you know how to make extra virgin coconut oil then only one would get great benefits for a instant it lowers sugar and increase HDL and LDL with very good ratio and normalize liver function as for the brain when one consume extra virgin coconut oil liver convert them into ketone in turn revitalize dead cells in the brain and one would have healthy cells and it will function normally.

Hi Dr. Thanks for explaining this thoroughly. I new it was good good but couldn't understand why. For the last week or so o increased the fats and I feel I've been felling better and had more energy to workout. I suffer from fibromyalgia which was recently diagnosed... I thought I was just getting old and that the pain was natural. Im 42, female and. I struggle with weight problems and I'm a type 2 diabetic which I control with diet and exercise. I find that I have to kill my myself at the gym to lose a bit of weight but noticed a huge improvement and fat lose when I started lifting weights. But as you know with fibro I'm usally beat the next day... Any thoughts??? Also, I'm a coffee lover but all of a sudden I cannot even smell it! It grosses me out - craved Gatorade for about a week... Please help! Thanks for your having this channel!!
Wrong facts check real double blind placebo control facts, Dr Michael Greger
After 1.5 month of keto my LDL went up above max limit. I did not find any 100% prove that fluffy LDL particles do not cause CVD (I have good HLD and triglycerides). Contrary, most North American medical institutions still consider high LDL as the most important factor that causes CVD. There is NO evidence and clinical tests on large groups of people that clearly prove that raise in LDL as a result of high fat diet will not lead to CVD. So I am replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats. I will try to stay on keto this way. Those guys on the internet just talking, but I have one life and I will not take a chance living with high LDL on keto eating coconut oil with bacon.
After a few months of strickt Keto, our pilot friend had a stroke.
He's partially paralyzed, had to learn how to talk again.....
It's not worth it.
Just keep it simple.
Whole foods, plant based. Period.
Nothing processed
No animals, no sugar or flour....
I've had the same experience, Ronald. Too many doctors on the web seem to be clueless about what's an optimal human diet.

What’s your consumption of fat recommendation for those who’ve had their gallbladder removed?
@@tropical, maybe just take enzymes to digest fats whenever you eat fats?
So I freaked out a bit when my HDL was 73, but given my total cholesterol being 239, that would mean my cholesterol ration is 3.2 - 1, which according to the AHA is very good. Given my ideal blood pressure/vegan diet, should I not be worried then?
What do the Polynesians die of? Why is diabetes is rampant in the Pacific islands. Its when they get away from their whole food traditional diet. Are plant based saturated fats different to animal saturated fats?
Yes. I just had this happen to me from coconut oil. Caused an eye stroke. Blood work was great before and after a few months, LDL was HIGH!!
Coconut oil didnt work for you?
I believe coconut oil definitely conteibuted.
How do you know for sure it was the coconut oil that caused the eye stroke?
I have quite a bit of coconut oil, milk, flour, coconut vegan cheese and butter, that I make, and feel fine.
Still news come out every week and some warning about the cholesterol thing and makes me nervous.
Hi, personal experience is enough for observation but not for direct conclusions as a doctor i think hr knows about these bias. i don't reject nor aprove what he says i just need sources and methodic experiments results to make myself a solid opinion. If those sources exist please give us the links and if not you will need to found experiments to be more credible. I know it is youtube but come on, i will need more than a convincing looking doctor to change habits to something as important as health.
You have incorrect information. Look up “coconut oil” on nutritionfacts.org
Wrong source to look up. Not all saturated fats are created equal. Some MCT, others LCT.
2:20 paragraph disappeared TOO QUICK where he mentioned LDL small particles that ARE heart disease causers(something)

I feel better eating whole eggs, Avocados and coconut oil every day
Whole eggs?! That's seriously horrible for your body!
Put it this way. "Normal chickens" only used to lay like 1 egg every 25 days.
So, only through genetically modified chickens, who lay 1 each day, AND animal farming, are you able to eat 1 egg per day.
Does that sound natural though?
1 egg has as much cholesterol as 6 big Macs with cheese.
...all I'm saying, think about what you're doing 😊✌💜
@@adorable3817 what if you are eating an egg from a different chicken every day? Chickens are flock animals so you are going to get plenty of eggs from different chickens. And I'm pretty sure chickens were bread rather than genetically modified to produce more eggs.

I always thought coconut was not sat fat so never advioded it. I changed my fats from the bad sort to the good sort a few yrs ago and feel healthier. I don't need to lose weight but knew my lifestyle wasn't good for me.
Dear sheep's,
I honestly believe that if somebody(dr. or no dr.) says something on a screen, the sheep's will agree. Why? Because the sheep's are too lazy to think/ research for themselves. Behehe
youtube is research
So true people don't look into the studies they reference to realise that fucking dumb and bias. Oil is bad end fucking of. Don't promote this shit just say it's a less healthy food and should opt for others ffs
Nobody is going to listen to someone who thinks 'Sheep's' is a word.
what about not having land on the planet to have grass fed beef for people to eat?
Very good information gadbles you 😘😍😍
Eat raw unsweetened coconut and wild salmon, not just the oil without the fiber.
Can you consult online if a patient is from outside US?
Great video, but I would like to point out that there are now studies that show HDL is not as a significant marker as LDL cholesterol when it comes to CVD regardless of particle size. Studies show that high LDL in general is bad, especially in the presence of inflammation and oxidation. Another point is someone who has an LP(a) higher than 30 should try extra hard in lowering their LDL. Their primary objective should be to decrease LDL because high levels of LP(a) alter the way LDL functions making it even more atherogenic.
Also, Pacific Islanders ate whole coconut vs just the oil and it makes a huge difference because of the fiber. If you do take coconut oil you should make sure your fiber intake is adequate. Also, there are studies now that show the saturated fat in coconut oil is just as bad as eating fat from red meat when it comes to increasing LDL. Yes, the LDL profile was better in coconut oil subjects, but as I stated, the primary goal should be to lower LDL regardless of particle size because most studies to date show that high levels of LDL are related to CVD.
If you want to improve mitochondria function and therefore increase your energy, among other things, then use MCT oil instead. It may still increase your LDL, but no where near what coconut oil will do. Yes, there are many things that contribute to CVD, but high LDL is a big risk factor. Research some studies and you will know.
Total Body Fitness Fake News
Yes! I agree 100%. Dr. Greger says the same.
@@jacksonblack2776 You're the "fake news". Coconut oil raised my LDL to very dangerous levels.
Wrong, most new studies are associating High healthy LDL levels with some of the longest living people in the world that have the least amount of Dementia and Alzheimer's and several other degenerative diseases. Those are the emerging true scientifically backed facts.
@@beardumaw24 Yes, I've seen some of those studies as well. Been a while since my original comment. In any case, cholesterol or LDL is not dangerous unless there is inflammation and/or oxidation. If there is no inflammation or oxidation then nothing to worry about regardless of numbers. My LDL particle number is a little over 2000, but I have done intermittent fasting going 16-18 hours daily without eating and have done so for at least the last 20 years. All my inflammatory markers are great and I had a full body CT scan and carotid artery ultrasound done back in April 2022 and test results showed I had ZERO plaque. So, I am living proof that LDL MAY not be that big a deal and like you said actually beneficial. However, I personally believe that every person is different and there are many other variables that come into play when it comes to disease in general. BTW, I've been in health care as a functional medicine practitioner for the last 27 years. What I have found in my experience is that you can find one study that shows LDL is bad, while another study will show it is good. There will always be conflicting studies. You really have to look at life experiences and in my practice, I have come to find that HDL and triglycerides along with inflammation and oxidative stress are the most important markers to look at. Take care!
Doctors don't want you healthy ,that would put them out of busness
