I'm a 70 year old woman who's been on the all-beef "lion diet" for 2 years. I'm 5'2" and weigh 120 lbs and am sedentary. About 20 years ago, on a mostly vegan diet, a DEXA scan revealed osteopenia. Two weeks ago, I fell directly on my left hip on a hardwood floor. I actually felt myself bounce a little. I knew I was in big trouble and it was very painful to move. I had to be put in a wheelchair in the ER. Both a pelvic x-ray and CT scan showed no fracture. That seemed miraculous. I had noticed, about six months into my lion diet, that my ribcage felt much less soft and pliable and was now thicker and less yielding (my muscles were also bulkier). I also watched a video about a 60-year-old woman who reversed her osteoporosis on a carnivore diet. I'm certain I survived that fall without a fracture because I'm on the lion diet. A friend read about the importance of bone flexibility and he thinks my bounce was from my pelvic bone compressing and springing open again.
My mom craves red meat when she was pregnant with twins....we were small 4 and 5 pounds but doctor let her take us home cause we were healthy and strong.
That's because we have other doctors telling us to not eat meat. Or if do, eat very little meat and with less fat. So patients are often confused. my husband has two problems. kidney stones & diabetes. What he can eat for one, he cannot eat for the other. Both tell him not to eat meat or eat little.
Meat is acidic, so consume sparingly, unless you are consuming grass fed meat. I afraid you do not need that much protein. It is mainly veggies that can help.
@@npcarnivore As I said it is acidic for the bones. Atleast for me it is. I prefer veggie diet, but add fish with it occasionally. Everybody is with different physiology, so I do not tell people what they should and what they should. You recommend meat to others. That is fine. People have to decide for themselves. I just said to have meat sparingly, did not say to give it up, speacially if you like meat or cannot conjure up variety of vegetable dishes. If you think, just vegetables are not for you, then it probably isn't.
I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in 2019 after a major fall broke my right hip, I have a plate, 6 screws, 2 pins and I only wish I had known about carnivore/keto/low carb and the effects it has on osteoporosis then. I went through a living hell with the meds and all the side affects. The meds the pack of lies I was led to believe was the cure was/ is worse than the disease. I took my last dose of Reclast 16 months ago, it takes me a few months to get over side effects that I can see, it’s what I can’t see or feel that scare me beyond compare.I started carnivore the middle of February this year, I’ve seen so many improvements in my health already, it is more than modern medicine has attempted to do in years. Thank you Dr. Berry for being my guiding light.
@@cactusladysouth1000 I’m due for my next scan Dec/ Jan 24/25, I’m anxious to see what improvements I’ve made without the horrid drugs. Either way I will not be doing their drugs, if carnivore doesn’t work I will find something natural to use.
@@smokeydog67 Please let me know how your scan turns out. What kind of diet did you have before going carnivore? Do you mind if I ask your age? I am 72
Collagen rich bone broths and foods, MSM supplementation and to be honest many of the non western influenced cultures usually eat and use all parts of a healthy animal. Nothing goes to waste, there is a reason for soups like menudo and meals like liver(grass fed & pastured only) and onions. I wasn't raised to eat this way but I can say I have learned to love all of these foods. So have my folks, both in mid/late 70's, both medication free and both still active and living independently. Great video!
I was vegetarian for a few years and was overweight and not feeling great other than morally!! Now I’m doing keto and fasting and feel amazing with energy to spare and not nodding off in the afternoon!! We’ve lost 110lbs and reversed Skatz’ type 2 as well! Awesome 💕
"and not feeling great other than morally!!" Love that! Such honesty. And you know what? There are so many people who won't open themselves up to low-carb because of that moral superiority they believe they enjoy when they abstain from eating animals. SMH
Yup, bones are made up of not just Calcium etc. but water, protein and many other nutrients people don't think about. K2 (which animal products are rich in), silica, boron etc. It's not just about the Vitamin D, Magnesium and Calcium.
Bones are mostly collagen so you need copper, vitamin C, zinc, and high quality protein. But meat's phosphorus is too high. And Magnesium and zinc is needed for alkaline phosphatase. Vitamin D and dietary calcium help regulate Calcium and Phosphate levels. That's why sun exposure is also key. Avoid gluten and gmos since they mess with glycine, and also have inorganic iron that messes with zinc, copper, and Magnesium
@@jonlobov1249 Wow, great points! Some of which I did not know. So iron in plants is not only inferior to heme, but also messes with zinc, copper and mag? Wow, that sucks and all the more reason not to count on it for quality iron. Yeah, I forgot to mention zinc as important for bones, but I knew it. Thank's for that addition. Soooo much makes up bone and our machines of bodies are tearing down old bone and replacing it with new bone all the time. Need quality nutrition for that. Interesting side note to that, animal product zinc is 10x better than plants too. And good for immunity as it interferes with pathogen replication. And another interesting side note, the worst Covid outcomes were deficient in Vitamin D and K2. K1 was not indicated and guess where the best K2 sources are? Animal products, again, lol. Cheese or any fermented dairy is high in it. Particularly Gouda, Jarlsburg and a few other cheeses. But even eggs and meat have it, in surprising amounts too for meat actually. Pork and Chicken being the highest of all meats, at 50 odd percent of your RDI per 100g. Even the Livers of those same animals, only carry 6% of the RDI of K2. While liver, being the ultimate source of heme iron, it kinda sucks on K2. Beef sucks on K2 as well, at only 7%, but beef is higher in iron than all the other flesh meats. Seems there is a trade off between K2 and iron amounts in flesh vs. organ meat, but with a wide variety of animal products, you get everything you need in the proper doses.
Thank God I was diagnosed as hypoglycemic in my early 30s. My Dr told me to eat MEAT or protein, eggs, poultry... to my advantage, I learned that meat was my friend.
Yes! More info on how to carry out this carni diet! I’m a week in, starting to have indigestion and stomach hurting. May be constipated. Trying to drink more broths and water and not freak out! But am feeling better. Trying to not track or be super aware, just making the decision to eat wholesome meat every day. Not overthink it, but not sure if I’m doin it “right”! Thanks Dic Berry!!
I'd like to know why I can't handle caffeine anymore. Could there be a link with a uti I've had for years with back pain that only got treated when I developed fever?
I knew a girl who was a vegan for a couple of years. She was sick all the time. She's gone back to eating some animal products and is doing better now.
Thank you for reading this Dr my daughter has a very rare. Autoimmune disorder called NMO ( the B cells are attacking her eyes ) she has infusions every 2 weeks . The DRs and nurses have to google what NMO is because no one knows . Iam slowly turning her in to a carnivore maybe this will save her eyes Thank you for every video you have made . One day I wish to meet you and say thank u .
@Tony L Wheat meat thats over processed and filled with oils and garbage...I've eatin it my entire life...starting in early 50s...I'm sick as hell! But my husband is vegan and beat oral cancer.
Meatbased lifestyle is so freaking easy. Eat to full satiety within like an 8hr window... sometimes omad. Steaks, ground meat, organs, etc... Usually 15 mins or less to make...under 30 mins to eat.. get on with better more important things in life.
I don't think you can actually reverse it if you have adenoma/diseased parathyroid glands. I have advanced osteoporosis (as a barely in menopause person) and some other weird and serious symptoms. In digging for why....I listened to your video on HYPERPARATHYROIDISM.... after much 'fight' with Dr's who didn't believe me, I finally had surgery and he found an adenoma and 2 diseased Parathyroids. From what I understand, now my calcium will stop going into my blood and BACK into my bones. Please keep spreading the word about checking calcium and PTH.
Glad you got sorted with your phpt. I also have severe osteoporosis and took me 5 years of struggling with awful health system here until i had a private operation in March 2020 and had three diseased glands removed. I presume you are taking vitamin K2 mk4 or mk7 to help with the calcium going to the bones.
@@hateanimalabuse so glad we are both on the other side of it! Yes I take K2 and D. Also go to Osteostrong which is a relatively new technology to help rebuild. The only thing I'm still struggling with is leftover horrible and expensive dental issues.
@@gakabucellat453 osteostrong has been in the US since at least 2014 and then came to the UK. I am on the NOF forum and sadly two ladies suffered vertibrae fractures due to osteostrong. They say you should go on a vibrating plate for 10 mins before as a warm up, however whole body vibrating plates not suitable for anyone with severe osteoporosis. So both are not suitable for me as I have it badly in my spine with a T5 compression fracture. So please be careful and oh yes same here huge dental bill earlier this year and paying off part of it until March 2023 😂I bought a LIV Md low intensity vibrating plate.
I'm 60 (white female) and have a dexa scan score of -2.7. I just had a wedge compression fracture (T8). I've always been thin and I'm also tall (5.8) with very thin bone structure. All doctors so far tell me I'm pretty much doomed without the treatment that they offer, which I've declined. Overall I eat healthy except for a cup of coffee a day which is not all that strong. I never smoked or drink and i"m overall very healthy. I've started working out and I am doing PT to start building core and muscle. What are the chances that I'm not going to continue to get worse if I continue to work out daily and watch my diet. I'm taking 5000 units of D3 + K2, boron, strotium, broad spectrum magnesium, zinc and selenium along with rooster comb hyaluronic acid. I'm just wondering if I things are really as bleak as I've been told. I really, really do not want to take the awful drugs that are currently available
My husband suddenly turned pescatarian . He likes quinoa with vegetables and salads too . Fish on occasion . I cook with lean turkey chicken breast and fish. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in my 50 ‘s with bone scan . Thank You for your information
I was a vegetarian for a couple years. My fingernails got super thin and dull, when I cut meat out I could see the thin nails growing in on my nail-bed. Towards the end I had vitamin B deficiencies too, I think. I would get really tired. The only thing that made me feel okay was nutritional yeast mixed with water on toast, even after a while that didn't help as well. When I finally decided to eat meat again, the first thing I ate was canned turkey and I felt glorious afterward. Vegetarianism wasn't for me
Same problem. My hair fell out by the handful and my finger nails cracked and broke. Now, eating meat again, my hair, nails, and skin are doing so much better!
Was vegan for about eight years, totally opposite experience/result than what you and the other commenters describe. I ate lentils or other legumes every day with brown rice, lots of cruciform veggies, beets, carrots, avocados, etc. Apples, tree nuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, whole oats with peanut butter for breakfast with apples. Whole foods, no white flour or sugar, all organic non-GMO. Had good hair and nails, clear skin. It can be done but must be done right. Oh, and BTW, I trained with weights 3-4 days a week and was at my ideal body weight for my height, had lots of energy, slept well, etc. Another bonus was that as I entered menopause I had not a single hot flash. Vegans have to take a B-12 supplement is the thing, if you eat dairy and/or eggs you don't have to. I also took the same food supplements I took before I was vegan.
My diet based on fish ,liver ,eggs bone broths butter, dripping and lard no grains, absolutely no sugar and very few fruit which are berries and very occasionally pears or apples. Don't smoke any more and don't drink at all. Walk and some weight bearing exercises. Sunshine everyday when is available 7 hours a day no milk but full cream yogurt and I eat once a day or twice. Average 18 hours fasting. I was diagnosed diabetic medicine all that jazzes. Change diet, lost 10 kg.
Thanks for sharing. So even though you were eating very healthy you still got diagnosed with diabetes? After that you changed your diet? If so, what was your new diet?
Aging backwards is one of the best methods to get people to jump on the meatbased lifestyle. My wife is finally doing it after seeing my body composition results after 12 months. Great performance too....
I started taking MK7 with my vitamin D daily religiously, bought the ancient salt, eating less vegetable matter and added red meat back into my diet and I feel much better.
@@albertschroeder3306 Mr. Schroeder I'm some 10 years younger than you and I too out work nearly all younger than me, and yes its due to the keto carnivore health benefits as you imply. More people do need to know this as more people are becoming hyperinsolenemiac and resistant to insulin. Best wishes.
I had a crush on a new friend recently and he wasn’t that interested. I was disappointed until he disclosed to me today that he went vegan. I lost interest so fast you can’t pay me to go on a date with him now, and he probably feels the same about me and my steaks 🥩😂
I had a fall broke both bones in my left forearm so painful I’ve been in carnivore for 7 months so obviously it’s not long enough to strengthen my bones? Hope I heal fast!!
At 6:57, you state that breaking a hip is a death sentence. I have heard that before but I don't understand why because I was in a car accident and broke my hip and I didn't die. No one ever says why someone would die from breaking their hip; they just make the statement that "most people who break their hip usually die soon after." Did you clarify why someone would die and what from?
@@Livetoeat171 i am not a doctor or anything, just guessing here , I might be totally wrong , but if not in a serious accident I think it's a hard bone to break . That would be a sign of previous health problems , generally met in very old people that suffer from osteoporosis. It might even be tied to other health problems , deficiencies, hormones not working. The old people I knew that broke hands and legs very easily generally didn't live much longer after that . I don't know if it's because they were so fragile that a fall that wouldn't hurt them almost at all a few years ago now ended in a broken limb or that trauma caused by that worsened their already fragile health. The internet is a big place , put enough work on searching and you'll find the answer you need or want .
President Ronald Reagan “trust but verify” dr Berry you’re genius love you both! Happy thanksgiving 🦃🍁🍽 bcus of you my health is much better and I look awesome! God bless!
Thank you for all the good information. I’m enjoying all videos related to osteoporosis. I was told that it just happens and to take fosamax 1xa week and continue with calcium and D. I did that for 2 years minus the fosamax a I went from osteopenia to osteoporosis at age 58. I’m researching diet and supplements.
I am in the same boat. Carnivore about six months and just got my scan results-6% more bone loss in three years. I am pissed as I have been eating healthy and exercise regularly.
I asked my endocrinologist about bones being 50 percent protein. She had nothing to say to that. She thinks I need maybe bio phosphates? I don't think so.
I appreciate your info, but would like to have you add some statistics on the physical activities of the various groups (vegans are prevalent among the extreme sports enthusiasts and I have to wonder how many of their bone breaks result from extreme falls while rock climbing, base jumping, etc.).
Dr Dave Clayton TH-cam video on the secret ingredient destroying bones. Would love your review of this. The conflicting information is so confusing to us lay people!
Been on a plant based diet 3 years now never felt better and run 8 miles every morning and i'm 59 years old, and got my cholesterol down was in the verge of statins ....
Low cholesterol is dangerous, the brain needs it. I was on plant based diet a few years ago and my cholesterol was 155! I thought that was great, until I started having many bad symptoms including brain fog, insomnia, cavities, etc. I stopped all plants a couple of years ago and switched to Keto/carnivore and my health has never been better. My cholesterol is now in the 260 range.
@@delta0921 My cholesterol is very normal now and besides your body makes all the cholesterol it needs i know a fair few people on a plant based diet that now look 10 years younger and feel great i'm not saying it works on everyone but so fare i feel great on it and get up in the morning full of energy and as i said i run 8 miles every morning, i don't blame you if it didn't work for you , but i also know a lot of people with diabetes high blood pressure and very high cholesterol that was taking medication who went on a plant based diet and have even come off there medication !!
@@michaelmillas929 It has good effects for a period of time, then a decline in health is noted by many vegans. Veganism may be better for many as a periodic dietary change, interspersed with omnivore/meat/animal product consumption.
@@heidih3048 Yes i do agree with what you say but just try and do what i think is best do have my naughty times lol but very rare will change things if i have to as for now do feel much better in lots of ways though to be honest :-)
I was diagnosed with osteopenia and doctor said take calcium supplement which was bad advice. So looking at lifting weights, keto diet, bone broth and collagen supplements. How much bone broth and collagen should I take and how many hours of weight training exercise is required?
Hi Dr. Berry, I have been looking at your mineral videos. I was wondering if you could go more in detail with deficiencies. I know that blood serum doesn’t always detect a deficiency due to it only accounting for 1-2% of total body. How do we get the rest of the body to not be deficient? I am struggling so much with this. Obviously I know eating foods and supplements will help, but how long does this process take? How does the body transport these nutrients? Can we expect side effects from this (like does our blood spike or become deficient in these nutrients temporarily and cause side effects?) Say that my muscles are deficient in calcium and magnesium, what’s the true amount of time it takes to recover from this being that a lot of these minerals aren’t really stored? I know the blood absorbs it quick and keeps it tightly regulated so when can we see improvements in the rest of our body as I imagine it takes a lot longer. Sorry for so many questions, I feel like I’m dying every single day.
Ok, I am wonder about people in Blue Zones, I think the one is in Calif, (Loma Linda?) Perhaps we could glean further information from them. What is their percentage of osteoporosis in their community? Haven't we been adding more plant protein into vegan diets? I just thought this info could be beneficial, I don't want to get caught up in the diet war, just, could we be over looking something? It's been hit or miss, on really solving this. Diet is important! But let's look at as many facts that we can, even what's in our water and other factors. I would love an answer. Let's get more facts.
Hello 😊 I'm a woman who has been through kidney transplantation, and I had to take some very large doses of Cortisone in the beginning. For at lest 2-3 monts, and over time lowering the doses. Now I'm down to 5 mg pr. day, but the damage has already been done. My weight went through the roof, and I'm really struggling. No matter what I try, it is stuck. Like super glue 😢 Do you have a solution for people like me, when Cortisone is the main reason for weight gain??? Greetings from Vibeke in Sweden
😂 Well yes, there is that but also how carnivore/keto can improve mental health. Why it works, is what I’m interested in. I haven’t found a lot about it on the internet and was wondering if Doctor Berry knew of any research etc I haven’t found.
The study doesn't seem to explain if the "meat eaters" were also eating vegetables/greens so could the balance of meat + greens account for "meat eaters", which achieved the best results vs. a carnivore diet?
I'm sooooo confused. For every study that claims one thing, another one will negate it. Red meat eaters have a higher percentage of cancer, I keep hearing this!! Then you have to worry about the hormones and pesticides in ANY meat unless you have the big $$$ to go organic. Yikes. Plenty of people can find a healthy diet that works for them and their own lifestyle. Keto is far too restrictive to me. Love my fruit!
That’s not true about ref meat That’s just what they told us 20 odd years ago to stop us eating meat and for the most part of work.. I believe meAt aged you quicker but it was a lie. Meat helps us live longer and have more energy and balances our hormones better. All they do is lie. At the end of the day it comes down to what you truely believe and if that should he what makes you feel good. If you don’t know what makes you feel good than start lying to yourself until you do.
I'm neither vegan or keto etc. You stated in another video about a topic that wasn't meat eater friendly that studies like this are miss leading because they are bias and people can't remember what they ate yesterday/last week. Also you stated that you assumed that people who eat less meat at the time of the study were more active. Could the reason more vegetarian and vegans had fractures be because they were actually moving. I mean I'm more like to fracture my ankle jogging, walking, running, biking and less likely if I am smoking, setting in front of the TV eating steak. But I could be wrong
thats like trying to negate sports and fitness by asking could the injury rate due to sports be a reason to show that it is bad, and show us that it is better to sit in front of the tv and dumb down (sorry about the language, just trying to be goofy while honest :) ) best wishes
a car doesnt break down the road while running because its running (well yes but no), it breaks down because its mechanical wear and tear or upkeep isnt at optimum whats nutrition?
Where can I get a copy of chart you show. - diet vs bone breakage? Ps: I just stepped off a 2' concrete wall in the dark with my right foot, caring a 20 pound load. My left ankle wasn't fully on the 8" wall and down I went. End result broken Fibula. See the Doc Monday to see what he thinks should be done -- operation or keep going with my big walking boot. Ps: I'll be 80 in a few months and very active. Wish me luck please.
I convinced my daughter and her roommate in university that moose meat was actually vegetarian food. She lived thousands of miles away and we would bring frozen meat when we visited her or send dry meat in the mail. I am appalled on the low level of health of university students compared to their parents of 30-40 years ago.
Moose meat is one of the cleanest, purest sources of protein and micronutrients on the planet. Way better than any vegetable. It is the super-est of super foods.
@Daniel you do realise now that she'll be eating meat, she'll smart up and know that moose is not a vegetable :) at least the cost of university will be worth it with the introduction of the moose lol Do excuse me I just found that funny, best wishes. :)
@@TerriblePerfection no lying just plain logic. If the only thing a mouse eats is vegetation then it must be vegetarian food. Actual a lot of vegetarians do not like the idea of eating antibiotic corn fed animals locked up for most or all of their lives. A moose on the other hand is organically fed and only the last minute of its life is traumatic. All of her vegetarian friends thought moose stew was great.
@@danielbruneau2222 That's true, if her objection is to the way animals are raised, not eating something with consciousness. I also deplore factory animal farming but I have made my peace with eating grass-fed pastured animals. I would love to try your stew!
I am eating 128 gm of BBBES. Eating some dairy bc of doctor son insisted…. Taking multivitamins/minerals. Broken femur 2 places and anterior hip replacement.
Carnivore 6 yrs 81 years post menopausal athelete. Sprints weight resistant step racing . Did limit dairy doing now cheese not carb loaded. After two meals no appetite. Never took Ca supplements. Pharmacist came out seeing me look them over said you eat cheese? That’s all you need so always bypassed.
I broke the same finger on both hands (not at the same time). Kept right on being vegan. At the time, I just assumed freak accidents, not brittle bones :(. Veganims shrunk my brain. I wasn't thinking straight
What kind of meat? Organ Meat/Liver or Steaks, Pot Roast, Ground Meat? Which of these has the minerals that we need. My guess is Organ Meats. The others cuts are muscle meat that don't have the nutrients that Organ Meats have. Am I right?
Very interesting and solid study. It made me think of a question regarding acidic and alcaline diets - it is said, and I believe this knowledge is well established, that acidic diets contribute to bone loss - and meat makes blood acid, as opposed to vegetables, that make blood alcaline. So, under this light, how the meat-eaters in this study showed to have more resistant bones, having a major acidic diet? Or does this study also disproves the acidic/alcaline diet influence on bone loss, as a side effect, let's say? I don't know if my question will be viewed, but I think it could begin some interesting thinking or research or add a little more spices to the diet theme. Thanks tor the information and guidance.
Vegetables and fruit have healing properties… that’s how they cured scurvy.. people were just eating meat and bread and their teeth and bones were getting weak.. then they gave them lemons and limes and it healed the scurvy
Just to add,in an article titled The 1-Year Mortality of Patients Treated in a Hip Fracture Program for Elders, all studies found that although women have more hip fractures than men, men have much higher mortality in the year following. In one study in 2003, 53% of the male patients died in the year after their hip fracture. The ratio of 1-year mortality male to female in the studies ranged from about 3/2 to as high as 2/1, so the difference is very significant.
Sooo… I’m a 42 yr old pre menopausal woman. I’ve been eating mostly carnivore (ribeyes, egg yolks, ground meat mostly) for almost 2 years and just got dx with osteopenia. And I exercise 4-5 days a week- yoga, walking, weights, Pilates…. 😟
After months of trying to convince my mom to go carnivore she finally agreed. She has broken so many bones bc her osteoporosis is THAT bad. Not much research on carnivore and osteoporosis so I cant wait to experiment with her and give results. She has dexa scans to show her lack of bone density. Here we go...
I have had osteoporosis for about 10 years. I was diagnosed with coeliac disease about 11 years ago. I was sent for a dexa test as usually people with coeliac have osteoporosis, especially undetected coeliac for a long time.
I have has 2 dexa tests, one was due last year. But I wished to delay it until this year, as I was doing a lot weight lifting with the gym being closed and was awaiting my second hip replacement. Hip replacement is completed last summer, after that suffered with sciatica for 2 monrhs. Now back to the gym and getting stronger with lower weights than was used to about 7 years ago. Back to doing hiit workout with weights and just body weight like mountain climbers, planks etc. So getting stronger from 2 years ago. I had 2 dexa tests, first showed osteoporosis, the second showed getting better on the right, so osteopenia and left with osteoporosis. I believe my left side seems stronger than right, so I am hoping that my bone density has improved overrall. I believe yoga helps as well, as a lot if it is working with body weight, balancing and correct breathing. Diet is important as well, vit d, k2, magnesium, boron and selenium. As bones also consist of strontium. I tried that supplement as well. But run out of it and will not purchase again, as I am not sure whether it has helped me at all. I mostly have plant based diet for the last 10 years. Used to have meat fair amount, eggs, dairy. Now no gluten, no dairy, no eggs. Have fish occasionally. Lots of raw veggies, use virgin olive oil, love salads, avocados. I am positive this year about improvement of bone density from my walk, dances classes and weights I am doing.
By the way had both hips replaced, so not the end, right one in 2015 and left one last year in June (so 2021) and feel strong and very positive. Mediation helps aa well.
Most studies that said caffeine is bad didn't study coffee per se, they studied soft drinks, too. Studies focusing on coffee all show good effects, like a much lower risk of Alzheimer's and lower blood pressure, at least in women. I tested it myself; my blood pressure goes down between 20 and 40 points after drinking coffee.
Oh my goodness I suffered horribly with type one and two of TN. Right side all 3 nerve branches left side bottom and middle branches. I am extremely allergic to that medicine. I ended up on the border of steven Johnson syndrome from it. Anyways 11 yrs later I have not had to deal with the pain of TN any longer.I hope you are no longer suffering. It is the worst pain I have ever experienced in my life and I would have taken my own life had the Lord Jesus not healed me.
2 questions: Cholesterol .. I was tested and had a level of 14 and was put on tabs to bring it down to 4 .. Have heard its a con whats your opinion .. Second, Gut bacteria gets thrown for a 6 without fiber .. what can help with that ?? Is Kefir a good fix or will it increase inflammation ??
Regarding cholesterol, read the book by the Drs. Eades research team. They found that it's consuming fats with carbs that causes high cholesterol. Consuming fats alone won't, but adding the carbs is the killer. For example, steak with potatoes, butter on toast, and fried donuts are very bad. Carbs alone are also not good, but the combination of fat + carb is terrible. By the way, even my doctor hates statins now, and he used to be for them. Many people, and I know some, develop dementia shortly after starting statins. All men under 50.
Eat Avocados, good source of potassium and magnesium. Harvard did a study on vitamins, was published in New England Journal of Medicine. Said no health benefits in doing multi vitamins, or any ones. You need to get them from the foods you eat.
It is interesting but you know there is a clear criticism to this study that it could be a variety of things. One of them, as you pointed out, vegans exercise more than meat-eaters, thus, being more exposed outdoors means higher risk to bone fractures. Not saying you could be right but that's a clear criticism of your argument. Personally, I do not think vegan is the way to eat (forever) but certainly much more research should be made to clarify your main argument.
I would tend to agree with these result although I don't think the fuzzy variables (smokers, people did or didn't exercise) give a solid foundation to this study. That said how do you ( Dr. Berry ) cook your steak - grill, pan etc. ? I eat steak and/or fish everyday. Every plant only eater I ever met; when asked, could not tell me what they ate daily.
I'm a 70 year old woman who's been on the all-beef "lion diet" for 2 years. I'm 5'2" and weigh 120 lbs and am sedentary. About 20 years ago, on a mostly vegan diet, a DEXA scan revealed osteopenia.
Two weeks ago, I fell directly on my left hip on a hardwood floor. I actually felt myself bounce a little. I knew I was in big trouble and it was very painful to move. I had to be put in a wheelchair in the ER. Both a pelvic x-ray and CT scan showed no fracture. That seemed miraculous.
I had noticed, about six months into my lion diet, that my ribcage felt much less soft and pliable and was now thicker and less yielding (my muscles were also bulkier). I also watched a video about a 60-year-old woman who reversed her osteoporosis on a carnivore diet.
I'm certain I survived that fall without a fracture because I'm on the lion diet. A friend read about the importance of bone flexibility and he thinks my bounce was from my pelvic bone compressing and springing open again.
My mom craves red meat when she was pregnant with twins....we were small 4 and 5 pounds but doctor let her take us home cause we were healthy and strong.
Most twins are small, if their lungs are developed they won't spend weeks in an incubator like mine did. Glad yours were so healthy 🙏
Thanks doc. When I tell my patients they need to eat more meat they look at me like I have two heads. Thanks for all the great info!
That's because we have other doctors telling us to not eat meat. Or if do, eat very little meat and with less fat. So patients are often confused. my husband has two problems. kidney stones & diabetes. What he can eat for one, he cannot eat for the other. Both tell him not to eat meat or eat little.
Meat is acidic, so consume sparingly, unless you are consuming grass fed meat. I afraid you do not need that much protein. It is mainly veggies that can help.
@@vibhaspalding6457 what do you recommend me eating then? Mainly vegetables and little meat?
@@npcarnivore As I said it is acidic for the bones. Atleast for me it is. I prefer veggie diet, but add fish with it occasionally. Everybody is with different physiology, so I do not tell people what they should and what they should. You recommend meat to others. That is fine. People have to decide for themselves. I just said to have meat sparingly, did not say to give it up, speacially if you like meat or cannot conjure up variety of vegetable dishes. If you think, just vegetables are not for you, then it probably isn't.
@@vibhaspalding6457 where do you get your protein from? Certainly not veggies
I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in 2019 after a major fall broke my right hip, I have a plate, 6 screws, 2 pins and I only wish I had known about carnivore/keto/low carb and the effects it has on osteoporosis then. I went through a living hell with the meds and all the side affects. The meds the pack of lies I was led to believe was the cure was/ is worse than the disease. I took my last dose of Reclast 16 months ago, it takes me a few months to get over side effects that I can see, it’s what I can’t see or feel that scare me beyond compare.I started carnivore the middle of February this year, I’ve seen so many improvements in my health already, it is more than modern medicine has attempted to do in years. Thank you Dr. Berry for being my guiding light.
how are your bones since changing your diet.
@@cactusladysouth1000 I’m due for my next scan Dec/ Jan 24/25, I’m anxious to see what improvements I’ve made without the horrid drugs. Either way I will not be doing their drugs, if carnivore doesn’t work I will find something natural to use.

Hey, Anita! I'm Anita Smith too...I agree....Dr. Berry is such a great source of information!!!
Eat your meat and repeat. It is what my doctor ordered. Good info fro good bone health
Collagen rich bone broths and foods, MSM supplementation and to be honest many of the non western influenced cultures usually eat and use all parts of a healthy animal. Nothing goes to waste, there is a reason for soups like menudo and meals like liver(grass fed & pastured only) and onions. I wasn't raised to eat this way but I can say I have learned to love all of these foods. So have my folks, both in mid/late 70's, both medication free and both still active and living independently. Great video!

I was vegetarian for a few years and was overweight and not feeling great other than morally!! Now I’m doing keto and fasting and feel amazing with energy to spare and not nodding off in the afternoon!! We’ve lost 110lbs and reversed Skatz’ type 2 as well! Awesome 💕
@Postwarmage28 Your ‘Before’ is me now….. 🙄
"and not feeling great other than morally!!"
Love that! Such honesty. And you know what? There are so many people who won't open themselves up to low-carb because of that moral superiority they believe they enjoy when they abstain from eating animals. SMH
Yup, bones are made up of not just Calcium etc. but water, protein and many other nutrients people don't think about. K2 (which animal products are rich in), silica, boron etc. It's not just about the Vitamin D, Magnesium and Calcium.
I agree on the looking better probably the hard work on the new fary
Farm
Bones are mostly collagen so you need copper, vitamin C, zinc, and high quality protein. But meat's phosphorus is too high. And Magnesium and zinc is needed for alkaline phosphatase. Vitamin D and dietary calcium help regulate Calcium and Phosphate levels. That's why sun exposure is also key. Avoid gluten and gmos since they mess with glycine, and also have inorganic iron that messes with zinc, copper, and Magnesium
@@jonlobov1249 Wow, great points! Some of which I did not know. So iron in plants is not only inferior to heme, but also messes with zinc, copper and mag? Wow, that sucks and all the more reason not to count on it for quality iron. Yeah, I forgot to mention zinc as important for bones, but I knew it. Thank's for that addition. Soooo much makes up bone and our machines of bodies are tearing down old bone and replacing it with new bone all the time. Need quality nutrition for that.
Interesting side note to that, animal product zinc is 10x better than plants too. And good for immunity as it interferes with pathogen replication. And another interesting side note, the worst Covid outcomes were deficient in Vitamin D and K2. K1 was not indicated and guess where the best K2 sources are? Animal products, again, lol. Cheese or any fermented dairy is high in it. Particularly Gouda, Jarlsburg and a few other cheeses.
But even eggs and meat have it, in surprising amounts too for meat actually. Pork and Chicken being the highest of all meats, at 50 odd percent of your RDI per 100g. Even the Livers of those same animals, only carry 6% of the RDI of K2. While liver, being the ultimate source of heme iron, it kinda sucks on K2. Beef sucks on K2 as well, at only 7%, but beef is higher in iron than all the other flesh meats.
Seems there is a trade off between K2 and iron amounts in flesh vs. organ meat, but with a wide variety of animal products, you get everything you need in the proper doses.
yes so true but GP don't seem to have this knowledge !!! such a shame and scary thing that make us think that we cannot trust them...

Meatbased lifestyle is so freaking easy. Eat to full satiety within like an 8hr window... sometimes omad. Steaks, ground meat, organs, etc... Usually 15 mins or less to make...under 30 mins to eat.. get on with better more important things in life.
Thank you for all the information you post.
I don't think you can actually reverse it if you have adenoma/diseased parathyroid glands. I have advanced osteoporosis (as a barely in menopause person) and some other weird and serious symptoms. In digging for why....I listened to your video on HYPERPARATHYROIDISM.... after much 'fight' with Dr's who didn't believe me, I finally had surgery and he found an adenoma and 2 diseased Parathyroids. From what I understand, now my calcium will stop going into my blood and BACK into my bones. Please keep spreading the word about checking calcium and PTH.
Glad you got sorted with your phpt. I also have severe osteoporosis and took me 5 years of struggling with awful health system here until i had a private operation in March 2020 and had three diseased glands removed. I presume you are taking vitamin K2 mk4 or mk7 to help with the calcium going to the bones.
@@hateanimalabuse so glad we are both on the other side of it! Yes I take K2 and D. Also go to Osteostrong which is a relatively new technology to help rebuild. The only thing I'm still struggling with is leftover horrible and expensive dental issues.

Super informative, thanks Ken. The research addition is really helpful, what a great study!
I'm 60 (white female) and have a dexa scan score of -2.7. I just had a wedge compression fracture (T8). I've always been thin and I'm also tall (5.8) with very thin bone structure. All doctors so far tell me I'm pretty much doomed without the treatment that they offer, which I've declined. Overall I eat healthy except for a cup of coffee a day which is not all that strong. I never smoked or drink and i"m overall very healthy. I've started working out and I am doing PT to start building core and muscle. What are the chances that I'm not going to continue to get worse if I continue to work out daily and watch my diet. I'm taking 5000 units of D3 + K2, boron, strotium, broad spectrum magnesium, zinc and selenium along with rooster comb hyaluronic acid. I'm just wondering if I things are really as bleak as I've been told. I really, really do not want to take the awful drugs that are currently available
My husband suddenly turned pescatarian . He likes quinoa with vegetables and salads too . Fish on occasion . I cook with lean turkey chicken breast and fish. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in my 50 ‘s with bone scan . Thank You for your information
I hope you’re eating more fatty meat now.
I was a vegetarian for a couple years. My fingernails got super thin and dull, when I cut meat out I could see the thin nails growing in on my nail-bed. Towards the end I had vitamin B deficiencies too, I think. I would get really tired. The only thing that made me feel okay was nutritional yeast mixed with water on toast, even after a while that didn't help as well. When I finally decided to eat meat again, the first thing I ate was canned turkey and I felt glorious afterward. Vegetarianism wasn't for me
Same problem. My hair fell out by the handful and my finger nails cracked and broke. Now, eating meat again, my hair, nails, and skin are doing so much better!
You probably had see through teeth too, I notice it on so many vegetarians and it looks similar to the nail bed deficiency.
@@nicpic1985 Wow!
Was vegan for about eight years, totally opposite experience/result than what you and the other commenters describe. I ate lentils or other legumes every day with brown rice, lots of cruciform veggies, beets, carrots, avocados, etc. Apples, tree nuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, whole oats with peanut butter for breakfast with apples. Whole foods, no white flour or sugar, all organic non-GMO. Had good hair and nails, clear skin. It can be done but must be done right. Oh, and BTW, I trained with weights 3-4 days a week and was at my ideal body weight for my height, had lots of energy, slept well, etc. Another bonus was that as I entered menopause I had not a single hot flash. Vegans have to take a B-12 supplement is the thing, if you eat dairy and/or eggs you don't have to. I also took the same food supplements I took before I was vegan.
I was vegan for 6 months, I was constantly unsatisfied. No matter how much I ate.❤
My diet based on fish ,liver ,eggs bone broths butter, dripping and lard no grains, absolutely no sugar and very few fruit which are berries and very occasionally pears or apples. Don't smoke any more and don't drink at all. Walk and some weight bearing exercises. Sunshine everyday when is available 7 hours a day no milk but full cream yogurt and I eat once a day or twice. Average 18 hours fasting. I was diagnosed diabetic medicine all that jazzes. Change diet, lost 10 kg.
Thanks for sharing. So even though you were eating very healthy you still got diagnosed with diabetes? After that you changed your diet? If so, what was your new diet?

At 6:57, you state that breaking a hip is a death sentence. I have heard that before but I don't understand why because I was in a car accident and broke my hip and I didn't die. No one ever says why someone would die from breaking their hip; they just make the statement that "most people who break their hip usually die soon after." Did you clarify why someone would die and what from?
It's generally old , fragile people that break their hip falling , car crash on a strong , young person doesn't apply
@@MrFetitzele You still didn't answer my question as to why even an old person would die because they broke a hip?
@@Livetoeat171 i am not a doctor or anything, just guessing here , I might be totally wrong , but if not in a serious accident I think it's a hard bone to break . That would be a sign of previous health problems , generally met in very old people that suffer from osteoporosis. It might even be tied to other health problems , deficiencies, hormones not working. The old people I knew that broke hands and legs very easily generally didn't live much longer after that . I don't know if it's because they were so fragile that a fall that wouldn't hurt them almost at all a few years ago now ended in a broken limb or that trauma caused by that worsened their already fragile health. The internet is a big place , put enough work on searching and you'll find the answer you need or want .

Thank you for all the good information. I’m enjoying all videos related to osteoporosis. I was told that it just happens and to take fosamax 1xa week and continue with calcium and D. I did that for 2 years minus the fosamax a I went from osteopenia to osteoporosis at age 58. I’m researching diet and supplements.
Resistance training.
I am in the same boat. Carnivore about six months and just got my scan results-6% more bone loss in three years. I am pissed as I have been eating healthy and exercise regularly.
I asked my endocrinologist about bones being 50 percent protein. She had nothing to say to that. She thinks I need maybe bio phosphates? I don't think so.
I appreciate your info, but would like to have you add some statistics on the physical activities of the various groups (vegans are prevalent among the extreme sports enthusiasts and I have to wonder how many of their bone breaks result from extreme falls while rock climbing, base jumping, etc.).
Good observation.. meat eaters are more often boxeurs and weight lifters !

Thank you, you are so informative. But what about collagen peptide?

A lot, nobody can answer your question tailored to your specific situation. But it's a lot.
Good question I’d like to know that also.
Hi Dr. Berry, I have been looking at your mineral videos. I was wondering if you could go more in detail with deficiencies. I know that blood serum doesn’t always detect a deficiency due to it only accounting for 1-2% of total body. How do we get the rest of the body to not be deficient? I am struggling so much with this. Obviously I know eating foods and supplements will help, but how long does this process take? How does the body transport these nutrients? Can we expect side effects from this (like does our blood spike or become deficient in these nutrients temporarily and cause side effects?) Say that my muscles are deficient in calcium and magnesium, what’s the true amount of time it takes to recover from this being that a lot of these minerals aren’t really stored? I know the blood absorbs it quick and keeps it tightly regulated so when can we see improvements in the rest of our body as I imagine it takes a lot longer.
Sorry for so many questions, I feel like I’m dying every single day.
You asked all the questions I was thinking about. 👍
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?
Which one's Pink?
Ok, I am wonder about people in Blue Zones, I think the one is in Calif, (Loma Linda?) Perhaps we could glean further information from them. What is their percentage of osteoporosis in their community? Haven't we been adding more plant protein into vegan diets? I just thought this info could be beneficial, I don't want to get caught up in the diet war, just, could we be over looking something? It's been hit or miss, on really solving this. Diet is important! But let's look at as many facts that we can, even what's in our water and other factors. I would love an answer. Let's get more facts.
Hello 😊
I'm a woman who has been through kidney transplantation, and I had to take some very large doses of Cortisone in the beginning. For at lest 2-3 monts, and over time lowering the doses. Now I'm down to 5 mg pr. day, but the damage has already been done. My weight went through the roof, and I'm really struggling. No matter what I try, it is stuck. Like super glue 😢
Do you have a solution for people like me, when Cortisone is the main reason for weight gain???
Greetings from Vibeke in Sweden
Please can you do a video about carnivore and mental health
Do you mean people who go crazy when they don't get enough meat?
😂 Well yes, there is that but also how carnivore/keto can improve mental health. Why it works, is what I’m interested in. I haven’t found a lot about it on the internet and was wondering if Doctor Berry knew of any research etc I haven’t found.
@@laurengalan2760 You may want to run some searches about brain tissue health and fats, cholesterol while you wait.
The study doesn't seem to explain if the "meat eaters" were also eating vegetables/greens so could the balance of meat + greens account for "meat eaters", which achieved the best results vs. a carnivore diet?
I'm sooooo confused. For every study that claims one thing, another one will negate it. Red meat eaters have a higher percentage of cancer, I keep hearing this!! Then you have to worry about the hormones and pesticides in ANY meat unless you have the big $$$ to go organic. Yikes.
Plenty of people can find a healthy diet that works for them and their own lifestyle. Keto is far too restrictive to me. Love my fruit!
no study has proven meat causes cancer, if it did none of us would exist today
That’s not true about ref meat That’s just what they told us 20 odd years ago to stop us eating meat and for the most part of work.. I believe meAt aged you quicker but it was a lie. Meat helps us live longer and have more energy and balances our hormones better. All they do is lie. At the end of the day it comes down to what you truely believe and if that should he what makes you feel good. If you don’t know what makes you feel good than start lying to yourself until you do.
I'm neither vegan or keto etc. You stated in another video about a topic that wasn't meat eater friendly that studies like this are miss leading because they are bias and people can't remember what they ate yesterday/last week. Also you stated that you assumed that people who eat less meat at the time of the study were more active. Could the reason more vegetarian and vegans had fractures be because they were actually moving. I mean I'm more like to fracture my ankle jogging, walking, running, biking and less likely if I am smoking, setting in front of the TV eating steak. But I could be wrong
thats like trying to negate sports and fitness by asking could the injury rate due to sports be a reason to show that it is bad, and show us that it is better to sit in front of the tv and dumb down (sorry about the language, just trying to be goofy while honest :) )

I convinced my daughter and her roommate in university that moose meat was actually vegetarian food. She lived thousands of miles away and we would bring frozen meat when we visited her or send dry meat in the mail. I am appalled on the low level of health of university students compared to their parents of 30-40 years ago.
Moose meat is one of the cleanest, purest sources of protein and micronutrients on the planet. Way better than any vegetable. It is the super-est of super foods.
You tricked her? My daughter is vegan or vegetarian but I would never lie to her.

It made me think of a question regarding acidic and alcaline diets - it is said, and I believe this knowledge is well established, that acidic diets contribute to bone loss - and meat makes blood acid, as opposed to vegetables, that make blood alcaline. So, under this light, how the meat-eaters in this study showed to have more resistant bones, having a major acidic diet? Or does this study also disproves the acidic/alcaline diet influence on bone loss, as a side effect, let's say? I don't know if my question will be viewed, but I think it could begin some interesting thinking or research or add a little more spices to the diet theme. Thanks tor the information and guidance.
You are correct.Meat
is very high phosphorus,which pulls calcium out of your bones,making them weak.
@@blissfulbaboonObviously that's not true. Come on, when theory doesn't hold up to practical application, it's time to throw theory out the window.
For someone with bone loss in their jaw, does the carnivore repair or restore bone at all?
I'm mostly egg and fish and will have grass fed steak, maybe twice per month. It's a real treat when I do. Poor steer.
Vegetables and fruit have healing properties… that’s how they cured scurvy.. people were just eating meat and bread and their teeth and bones were getting weak.. then they gave them lemons and limes and it healed the scurvy
no carnivores today are getting scurvy
People who die in a few years after a hip fracture are old and already sick. It shows up when you read the studies.
Most people who get hip fractures are old. 90% occur after 50 and 52% occur after 80.
Just to add,in an article titled The 1-Year Mortality of Patients Treated in a Hip Fracture Program for Elders, all studies found that although women have more hip fractures than men, men have much higher mortality in the year following. In one study in 2003, 53% of the male patients died in the year after their hip fracture. The ratio of 1-year mortality male to female in the studies ranged from about 3/2 to as high as 2/1, so the difference is very significant.
Did you see who funded the study ? Who are the author's ? I will look it up if you give it to me 😊
Sooo… I’m a 42 yr old pre menopausal woman. I’ve been eating mostly carnivore (ribeyes, egg yolks, ground meat mostly) for almost 2 years and just got dx with osteopenia. And I exercise 4-5 days a week- yoga, walking, weights, Pilates…. 😟
Annndd? Is the carnivore working to reverse the osteoporosis?
Please update! :)
After months of trying to convince my mom to go carnivore she finally agreed. She has broken so many bones bc her osteoporosis is THAT bad. Not much research on carnivore and osteoporosis so I cant wait to experiment with her and give results. She has dexa scans to show her lack of bone density. Here we go...
How is your mom doing? ❤️
I have had osteoporosis for about 10 years. I was diagnosed with coeliac disease about 11 years ago. I was sent for a dexa test as usually people with coeliac have osteoporosis, especially undetected coeliac for a long time.
I have has 2 dexa tests, one was due last year. But I wished to delay it until this year, as I was doing a lot weight lifting with the gym being closed and was awaiting my second hip replacement. Hip replacement is completed last summer, after that suffered with sciatica for 2 monrhs. Now back to the gym and getting stronger with lower weights than was used to about 7 years ago. Back to doing hiit workout with weights and just body weight like mountain climbers, planks etc. So getting stronger from 2 years ago. I had 2 dexa tests, first showed osteoporosis, the second showed getting better on the right, so osteopenia and left with osteoporosis. I believe my left side seems stronger than right, so I am hoping that my bone density has improved overrall. I believe yoga helps as well, as a lot if it is working with body weight, balancing and correct breathing. Diet is important as well, vit d, k2, magnesium, boron and selenium. As bones also consist of strontium. I tried that supplement as well. But run out of it and will not purchase again, as I am not sure whether it has helped me at all. I mostly have plant based diet for the last 10 years. Used to have meat fair amount, eggs, dairy. Now no gluten, no dairy, no eggs. Have fish occasionally. Lots of raw veggies, use virgin olive oil, love salads, avocados. I am positive this year about improvement of bone density from my walk, dances classes and weights I am doing.
By the way had both hips replaced, so not the end, right one in 2015 and left one last year in June (so 2021) and feel strong and very positive. Mediation helps aa well.
Yes, please let us know how your mum is doing.
If your T score is -4.4, should you take the meds?
Mine was at -2,8. I took it for 3 years and stopped to minimize any possible side effects. I am in the range of osteopenia now.
What about Mediterranean diet?
Even Doc's don't think about other things but D3 and Calcium! Thanks Dr. Berry. Dexa just in. Really not bad when corrected to age!
What about coffee and bones?
Most studies that said caffeine is bad didn't study coffee per se, they studied soft drinks, too. Studies focusing on coffee all show good effects, like a much lower risk of Alzheimer's and lower blood pressure, at least in women. I tested it myself; my blood pressure goes down between 20 and 40 points after drinking coffee.
I have high cholesterol. Can’t digest meat. Chicken diet. Is chicken ok? Drum sticks is what I eat.
Couldn’t concentrate. That hanging beguiling curl had me transfixed 🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Ken, what about building strong bones for the jaw, area thanks
MSM rebuilds the jaw bones density.
Chew gum (sugarless)
My cause for having osteoporosis is Carbamazepine. Unfortunately I have to take it for Trigeminal Neuralgia. 😢
Oh my goodness I suffered horribly with type one and two of TN.
Right side all 3 nerve branches left side bottom and middle branches. I am extremely allergic to that medicine. I ended up on the border of steven Johnson syndrome from it.
Anyways 11 yrs later I have not had to deal with the pain of TN any longer.I hope you are no longer suffering. It is the worst pain I have ever experienced in my life and I would have taken my own life had the Lord Jesus not healed me.
Dr Ken Berry ...please can you show me through a video how should a spine osteoporostic person exercise
2 questions: Cholesterol .. I was tested and had a level of 14 and was put on tabs to bring it down to 4 .. Have heard its a con whats your opinion .. Second, Gut bacteria gets thrown for a 6 without fiber .. what can help with that ?? Is Kefir a good fix or will it increase inflammation ??
Regarding cholesterol, read the book by the Drs. Eades research team. They found that it's consuming fats with carbs that causes high cholesterol. Consuming fats alone won't, but adding the carbs is the killer. For example, steak with potatoes, butter on toast, and fried donuts are very bad. Carbs alone are also not good, but the combination of fat + carb is terrible. By the way, even my doctor hates statins now, and he used to be for them. Many people, and I know some, develop dementia shortly after starting statins. All men under 50.
which magnesium supplement is best to get?
Eat Avocados, good source of potassium and magnesium. Harvard did a study on vitamins, was published in New England Journal of Medicine. Said no health benefits in doing multi vitamins, or any ones. You need to get them from the foods you eat.
I heard citrate was ok
It is interesting but you know there is a clear criticism to this study that it could be a variety of things. One of them, as you pointed out, vegans exercise more than meat-eaters, thus, being more exposed outdoors means higher risk to bone fractures. Not saying you could be right but that's a clear criticism of your argument. Personally, I do not think vegan is the way to eat (forever) but certainly much more research should be made to clarify your main argument.
I would tend to agree with these result although I don't think the fuzzy variables (smokers, people did or didn't exercise) give a solid foundation to this study. That said how do you ( Dr. Berry ) cook your steak - grill, pan etc. ? I eat steak and/or fish everyday. Every plant only eater I ever met; when asked, could not tell me what they ate daily.
