Whats supposed to help prevent heart disease is also what seems to reduce the odds of dementia. Shocking it turns out the diet and exercise also keeps the brain healthy.
Any anemic I know eats meat, including myself. I went ethical vegan, despite being anemic, and one of the many unforeseen benefits was that the anemia got cured within less than a year ❤
@@teagoldleaf4137 Oh I know, we all did. :( Dr. McDougall talks about it here along with a bunch of other topics about dairy: th-cam.com/video/txfU_bdI8hU/w-d-xo.html I did the research he mentioned from the USDA and FDA and found all of it to be true on the government's own website. The leukemia and everything. It's right on there. :( After I confirmed everything, I went vegan.
@@homie3461 Same! Last time I had allergies, I nearly wound up in the hospital. I haven't had allergies since going vegan. I only got sick once in the last three years but that's because my nephew gave it to us.
not another one😭 I am so tired of different peoples saying the same things that have been debunked so many times. Why can't people talk about the massive benefits of vegetables? You don't have to be vegan/vegetarian to see the clear evidence more plants is good
I’m so tired of it too 😞😓 unfortunately this Lugavere clown is one of the worst ones out there & is very overt about thinking plant based is garbage. When in reality it’s the other way around.
Because that's the kind of advice your grandmother gave you. They want to go against the grain and tell you that everything you think you know about nutrition is wrong. It's just plain contrarianism!
Thanks so much for this video! Max is a journalist. Not a scientists, not a medical doctor. In 2018 I was trying to find a good diet for my parents, and it was the time when Max was promoting his new book. I saw quite a few videos about how keto diet was good for dementia, and I almost bought MTC oil for my father. I was not convinced by the people who promoted keto for dementia, because none of them were medical doctors, and I always saw inconsistencies or irrational conclusions (connecting dots that don't make sense to connect). Luckily I never recommended my parents this weird eating style (they were already eating very balanced, mostly plant based, I would say 90%). Throughout the years I always watched your videos to learn about the science of plant based eating. Thank you so much for your work. There is so much misinformation on youtube, but also so much good information: thanks to youtube I found out about the good plant based diet (too late, being a vegetarian my whole life, I wish I knew before how to eat well without dairy and eggs). In 2019 I found your channel and I read Dr. Gregers book How not to Die, and my parents started eating completely whole food plant based. My mother (high blood pressure) added the 5 handfuls of greens a day of Dr. Esselsteyn (and they did eat nuts and seeds, and nutbutter/seedbutter as Dr. Greger recommended, not low fat like Dr. Barnard and Dr. Esselsteyn). From dangerously high blood pressure she is now down to a normal blood pressure, without medication. Her tools: (whole) plant based eating, and mindfulness for stress reduction. My parents' health improved so fast. My mother at 79 never loses track of stories, my father at 85 is still doing bookkeeping and is working in the garden hours on end each day. They are both on 'real' bikes (not e-bikes). Forever grateful to all the people (including you) who spread the information about the health benefits of whole food plant based eating.
@@taylorfusher2997 that's what my parents had been doing for their entire life. Very balanced, lots of veggies and fruits. Still, ditching dairy and all meat (incl. fish) made a huge improvement in their health (also measurable: lower LDL, lower blood pressure, better score at cognitive tests).
Endotoxemia associated with the carnivore diet is the real thing and it almost killed me. The amount of LPS in my gut must have been enormous as I required medical attention every 3-4 weeks due to methane SIBO. I basically killed all the good bacteria when I stopped eating most and then all carbohydrates. Symptoms related to this type of SIBO can be life threatening because when you have bowel movement once a week which is as painful as giving birth (to a few small pebbles) the amount of LPS produced in your gut is more than your body can handle and my liver was not in a good shape after years of this horrible experiment. I tortured myself with low carb diets for 6 years before I gave up and I hated meat all my life so the fact that those diets require you to up your meat consumption was yet another level of torture for me. I did all the fat to protein ratios (including therapeutic ketosis 4:1 and 2:1) to make things work, "clean" carnivore and keto without any processed foods/meats but it was only getting worse. Being plant-based is HEAVEN. I'm grateful (and surprised) I'm capable of digesting carbohydrates now considering the fact that I most likely annihilated bacteria responsible for digesting different carbohydrate types. I'll never eat meat again.
I had a 80 year old customer come in he was vegetarian and he could barely formulate any sentences to tell me what he wanted to order. Meanwhile I'm over here with a seemingly higher level of cognition he couldn't tell me what he wanted as a side for his grilled cheese and no meat. Yah no thanks
@guitarszen my cholesterol was nearly 400 and LDL 275. I was vomiting 3 days a month, I had such severe migraines I don't wish upon the worst enemy. People rationalize their situation when they hear people such as Dr. Georgia Ede (Harvard trained psychiatrist and carnivore), Dr. Paul Mason and Prof. Thomas Seyfried telling you that meat heals. The amount of misinformation is what makes people stick to this horrible woe for a very long time. I should have known better but I'm glad I'm back to normal 👍
@@taylorfusher2997 I tried that, too, with no change in my symptoms. I'm not saying people should go vegan to achieve their 'full potential'. I'm just saying that 100% carnivory or long term keto will eventually catch up with you. Mikhaila Peterson is a great example. She's got many of her symptoms back and she's had many respiratory issues in the past 2 years including pneumonia. She's been complaining to Judy (Nutirtion with Judy) that she thought she was healed but her symptoms are coming back and she's sick a lot. I gave it a go for 6 years and I'm done with meat. I've seen the first sings of improvement after cutting out meat and dairy completely. Everything got better.
@@andrewjones8484 of course there are very sick vegans and vegetarians, too. I know I'd be sick again if I started to eat dairy. Everyone should examine their own body and do what's best for them. My highly carnivore aunt and her brother both got AD. My fahter, their brother is getting there, too. They eat a regular diet, no processed foods, old school Polish diet, whole foods only, but plentybof meat and dairy. We should be looking at our genetics and predespositions I suppose. I regained my focus and I'm mentally back to normal after cutting sat fat and animal protein from my diet and going mediterranean but with little to no gluten in it. I love olive oil, high quality and I'm better than ever. I'm close to 50. Everyone is different. I have never tolerated meat and dairy since early childhood.
Animals, especially cows use less, provide more and regenerate lands....almonds on the other hand kill more animals, fill the water with chemicals,use massive amounts of carbon,plastics and water to get it to you across the globe..... you kill animals/bugs/birds/insects while depleting the land while you hate people using far less and obtaining more nutrients cause you hate people and animals alike.
Yeah, I’m not sure where Max is getting his facts. Very sad when you find out why he is concerned about this. The vegetarians I’ve known live on cheese, loads of fatty cheese. Dairy was the last animal product I eliminated. I finally dumped it when I over-microwaved it and it was a pool of grease!!!! Animal fats, not complex carbohydrates are problematic.
What people need to realize is that anyone, literally anyone, can claim to be a "health advocate" or whatever and say literally anything they want about health and food. You throw them on a podcast and they are given legitimacy. Do not just blindly believe anything you hear some dude on a podcast say. Hell, these days a lot of influencers even fake being on podcasts to give themselves an air of legitimacy by showing clips of them appearing to be in a podcast set up when they are really just talking to themselves and the camera.
♥️THANK YOU Mic ‼️My husband & 2 young adult sons had “an intervention”😮 and want me to have blood work and a COGNITIVE TEST from a doctor‼️They are so concerned that this is true and doubt the research that shows that it is not‼️
Tell them I've been completely plant-based for 22 years and am an engineer. If my brain weren't working optimally I'd notice real quick. Blood work is perfect too. I could go on and on with all the benefits I've experienced.
My dad passed from a Parkinson's related issue (blacked out swimming). Even back in the 90s it was very clear to specialists that high-meat diets were a strong driver of the disease's progression. I watched my dad pursue every other treatment protocol with zeal, but he just couldn't give up that high meat diet, and it almost certainly shortened his life. And that's one of the main motivations behind me going vegan - using my love of science and data to discover the healthiest dietary protocol known to man. On the flip side, I personally know of a raw vegan health coach in Florida (Amy Elise) who is treating a man in his late 60s with advanced Parkinson's. He was wheelchair-bound 6 months ago when he came to her. Now he is standing and can walk around, albeit poorly. He's actually regained mobility on a protocol of zero medications, just a raw food diet + herbal supplements and tinctures. I met him and keep in touch. Isn't that amazing!
Look at high dose vitamin B1 for Parkinson's. Vegan or omnivore, both could be filled with junk food. Biggest risk for vegans is a b12 deficiency. These studies are mostly worthless if they don't have complete diet data and blood work.
Thank you very much for this, Mic. I saw this Lugavere clown on Impact Theory as well & it’s caused me quite a bit of frustration that these channels mainly interview people who promote animal based diets & exclude those promoting Whole Foods plant diets.
@@taylorfusher2997 How about if you eat all kinds of vegetables, fruits, nuts & seeds and maybe some grains as well. You don't need to eat sentient animals it's not a necessity.
I love the music you use in your videos, Mic. You've been using that same intro/outro track for years and it's just such a vibe - super nostalgic too as it reminds me of your earlier days on TH-cam and the website in general back in 2015; your video style has aged so wonderfully :)
It’s quite sad that Max L was inspired to work in the nutrition influencer arena by his mother’s death, and is now out there influencing people to adopt diets that could damage their health.
This is a good example why Max Lugavere shouldn’t be listened to diet, nor should anyone who takes him seriously. Meat-eaters and vegetarians and vegans get dementia. Max actually seems to think that the fact that his mom was vegetarian must be the reason she developed dementia. He just doesn’t have a basic understanding of scientific thinking. As Mic shows, he misinterprets and misrepresents data.
@@richardcardinale7152 Are you implying plants caused his mother's dementia? Clearly it couldn't have been the dairy, eggs and probably fish she was chugging down daily, loading herself with saturated fat. Or did you miss or cannot distinguish the massive difference in health outcomes between *vegeterian* and *vegan* diets? Vegeterian diet is just as bad, if not worse than an SAD diet, because dairy products, etc. are some of the worst offenders in health.
@@richardcardinale7152 Sure. Show me three studies proving your statements. You watch intelligent vegan videos backed up by studies and then make baseless comments...
My doctor, who is vegan, asked if I wanted to join a weight loss group to help get my sugar under control. I eat mostly plant based. I paid the $350 (no refunds of course) only to find out she was promoting a high fat and protein, extreme low carb diet. I agreed to try to get my money out of it and I’ve never been so sick. I haven’t used the bathroom properly in 2 weeks. My brain is mush. I feel like death. She says I’m just detoxing 😂
I found that comment of his mother getting a Parkinson’s like dementia very interesting. I work in a nursing home and we have a lady who used to be very vibrant in life. She is now bedbound and almost mute, she used to say the occasional word and smile but she has lost that over the last couple of months. The diagnosis from the medical team was Lewy body dementia FROM THE PARKINSONS MEDICATION. Nothing to do with diet (though I’m sure it would have made a difference if she had been plant based). It’s a truly devastating condition that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. She understands everything you say, she just cannot respond any more. Heartbreaking….
My otherwise smart and educated 93 yr old mother went on an all-meat and a few nuts diet earlier this year, and couldn’t be persuaded otherwise. Pot roast, one meal a day. Pro’s: she lost a bunch of weight. Con’s: she recently lost her life to pneumonia and obstructed bowel. Yes, she was elderly but I blame her insane diet on hastening her demise. She found the carnivore diet concept on TH-cam and bought books and believed their BS.
@@TheJunkerOne thank you. Yes, I am well. It’s been a week and a half and my grieving stopped when she passed. She was so dear to me. But I wonder on a subconscious level if the meat diet was her ticket to the death she wanted, on her own terms. Instead of choosing an emergency surgery for the obstructed bowel she chose hospice. And it was a painless, peaceful, rather quick death. Maybe if she was a whole food plant based person she would have had a long, lingering death at a 105. I’ll never know🤷🏼♀️
I'm so sorry this happened. My mom tells her doc every time she visits him that she wants to go Keto. He always tells her, "keto is not for old peaple".
I'm so sorry for your loss. These industry funded studies and self appointed experts with confirmation bias are totally poisoning the science with deadly consequences. Take care.
You know, Both my great grandfathers, as well as both grandfathers, ate a lot of meat and vegetables because that's how we eat culturally ( southern European ), and they all died of heart attacks or strokes 😭😭😭😭 My grandmothers ate less meat and would lovingly put a much larger share on their husband's plates. Saw it with my own eyes, time and time again.
@@teagoldleaf4137 Not surprising since women tend to outlive men worldwide. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if nutritional stigmas are why. Women are socially expected to eat more vegetable and men are socially expected to eat more meat.
@@teagoldleaf4137admittedly that's the observation with woman living in households with running water (independent of their diet), they outlive men (especially when they needn't live with men or give birth )
Thanks for this video. I watched the podcast the other day, and it made me rethink my vegan diet (been vegan for 6 years) precisely because of his comment on his mom’s disease and vegetarian diet..
Would be great if Steven had Team Sherzai on to counter Max's points. It would be even better if they could debate the issue of dementia with Max, head to head. At this point it seems clear to me that nutritional literacy has an inverse relationship with an individual's reach or ability to be booked onto a huge podcast to spout their dubious views.
Never stop doing these videos👏it’s crazy how people can go on these HUGEEE podcasts with millions of listeners and just talk rubbish with absolutely no fact checking🥴that’s why your videos are important, so that people can get the scientific viewpoint!!🥦💚
Given his motivation for nutrition and his interest in brain health - how can he NOT know about the Sherzeis or ignore the overwhelming research about the effects of high (!) meat (and/or dairy) consumption.
It makes one wonder where his income is derived. Mic mentioned Butcher Box. Some People blindly follow his advice and pay money for it. There’s a sucker born every minute.
Try Dr. Zoe Harcombe and Paul Mason. Georgia Ede. See what they have to say. If you have the guts. Dr. Ede is a Psychiatrist and knows what meat is all about. We're made of the stuff.
A higher intake of animal-derived foods may increase the risk of dementia. Also, vegans should regularly monitor their Omega-3 and Vitamin B12 levels and supplement as needed to support optimal brain health as they age.
Please explain how animal food increases dementia? It seems to me and most people that dementia has increased intensely since veganism and the intake of sugar has increased. That would be about since the end of WW2. What do you think?
@@toni4729 We can also say that dementia has increased as more people have had access to internet, cellphones, as there are more people on the planet, as there are more burger kings and McDonalds are available, as there are more women in the workforce, as many people have access to education, as the temperature has risen, as UFC have gotten more viewers. You can literally say that dementia has increased as any other stat that has increased over the years, you can find correlation for anything 😅😅
@@imhassane Are you suggesting that veganism is good? You can laugh all over your face alright if you're one of them. Keep on laughing when your brain starts to shrink. you can't get fat out of a lettuce. Our brain is 60% fat and 20% cholesterol and neither of those things can you get from vegetable matter. Yes, your body makes some cholesterol but not enough for your sex hormones or the billions of cells in your body. Most people who start a vegan diet give it away after a few years when they see the truth about it. It's totally unnatural. It's never been done naturally, it's impossible. You have to live with drug companies to survive. What a life.
@@imhassane And we all fly now, are you saying sugar and oils don't have a part in it? They're in everyone's diet that don't think past the supermarket and certainly in all vegans diet.
@@toni4729 you need controlled studies to determine what causes dementia, you just don’t say as X has gone up, dementia has followed too. That’s just correlation and it’s not true that sugar and oils are in all vegan diets
His Mom was a vegetarian, cooked with vegetable oils, and developed dementia, so he took that anecdotal case and created his nutritional pseudoscience world, and a lucrative one at that. He knows he’s full of it too, which is why he blocks everyone who challenges him.
This is the Paleo Diet that came after Atkins. Just when you think that they’re dead, these low carb diets keep coming back like in a bad horror movie.
Compared to high malnutrition plant based diets👓. Consume 5 pounds of food for only quarter cup of absorbable/bioavailable nutrients...win for vegan corporations and healthcare cause when it messes you up enough you will get pills for life.
Another thoughtful and discerning video. Thanks Mic. Keep keeping us in the know. Nutritional Science on TH-cam right now is like the wild west. Blessings, :)
I watched the interview on Diary of a CEO, directly after watching Tim Spector, and the difference between a scientist and a “Nutrition Journalist” couldn’t be more different. Was the last episode I watched Diary of a CEO for featuring guest for clickbait rather than science.
Thank you for covering this. Listening to this podcast a while back I was mortified at the unsubstantiated claims he was making. Honestly it was disappointing as I am subscribed to the Diaries of a CEO podcast.
I can follow the nutritional advice of Dr. Dean Ornish and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn or I can follow the nutritional advice of Max Lugavere and Nina Tiecholz. That's a tough one.
Just make sure your body is properly converting ALA into EPA/DHA. I know a few people who really struggle on vegan diets because their internal machinery is so compromised that they can't properly make that conversion. Something I wish the vegan community would talk about more is bivalves and eggs. Animal-based food sources that can be entirely cruelty free. Bivalves have no brains, and no capacity for suffering. Technically vegan. Anyone who's lived with chickens on a farm knows that they are constantly laying eggs, and literally don't care about most of them. And it's easy to find eggs at the store that are completely cruelty free, no cages, fed their natural diets, etc. It's a completely symbiotic relationship, no exploitation going on. While the body "can" thrive on a vegan diet, the absolute ideal nutrition profile for a human doesn't perfectly match the absolute nutrition profile of an optimized vegan diet. As we age, our ability to convert ALA declines, our ability to synthesize collagen declines, and many other examples. But if you add in these forager-friendly foods, just in very small amounts, those nutritional profiles match up perfectly. In terms of evolution, it makes no sense that proto-humans would avoid easily-obtainable food items like eggs and bivalves. Just sitting there. People tend to forget how absolutely vast the bird populations were up until a few centuries ago when we started mass-clearing their habitats (forest and grasslands). It would be hard to travel 100 feet without stumbling upon a bird's nest. It just makes sense that such foods would have become regular additions to our overall plant-based frugivorous diet.
@@Mistral434 People also have genetic differences that may or may not allow them to flourish on a vegan diet. A b12 deficiency can easily cause early dementia and some people genetically need higher levels of B12.
A video about plantbased keto would be very interesting :) Because the studies seem to be only adressing meat eater keto. I heard that low carb is bad when you run on carbohydrates but that you can thrive if you run on unsaturated fat.
How does a diet low in fat and high in fiber and other necessary nutrients cause dementia?? Sat fats from animals cause dementia because those fats start to deposit in the brain capillaries and over time cause blockages, aka strokes, etc.
Processed meat has been processed for thousands of years. We've processed it for a very long time before refrigeration. Remember, we've only had fridges for a few decades and we didn't all live in the snow all year round.
Very good, thanks. Great graphics, the well selected quotes and graphs. A request: if these showed in writing their source which you speak out they would be very useful to share as screenshots. Without it written people would have to watch the video amd many can't spare the time for that. Well good show, thanks.
So much information in this video. I think one should have a vegetable based diet that causes as little inflammation as possible - whatever the diet. I'm a vegetarian. (Don't kill me vegans). I will insult people further - here in Europe I believe it's easier to eat little, quality vegetarian food. My own main hypothesis is to eat very little. I mean extremely little - as in only when you have hunger. My grandparents were like that and worked to their 90s as any other people, my father is like that as well. My mother has eaten a lot in her life and has had two cancers and quite immobile.
If meat 'n' grease were actually the answer, North America would be full of healthy folks. This guy has not crossed my YT feed, but I know what to do if he does.
I don't see any meat and grease cookies and ice cream. Pancakes with syrup and orange juice for breakfast has no meat or grease in it... I think you're missing something here.... Super sized soft drinks again, no grease... Yep there's more to it. That fast food drive thru window, no exercise needed, has got to have something to do with it too.
Enjoy it while you can, it's going to kill off the planet at a hell of a rate. Farmers don't keep pets and we can't keep growing vegetables in sand. We need all those animals.
Interesting for sure. I think that accounting for things such as BMI and previous strokes are a form of survivorship bias; they'r ebasically selecting people who do well while eating red meat.
Change my mind: plant based is always lower in calories. thats what explains the positive effects. In isocaloric studies the lower caloric bioavailability isn´t taken into account. Amount of nutrients that are theoretically contained in a plant are not the same that our bodies are able to use.
To what type of arrangement are you referring? If you mean "argument", you might consider getting yourself checked out for dementia.😜 [ Fear not! I have a screenshot.👍]
In context, the idea is that meat doesn't heal anything, but the battle against cholesterol is missguided, and in conjunction with statin meds, decreases cholesterol at the detriment of the brain ,which is built of cholesterol (25%). Statins decrease the coating of nerves and reak havoc on the neurological systems. Im a carnivore, but im not here to compare our extremes, im here to talk about the effects of what we are both not eating; sugar, carbs etc.
The man's a liar. Listen to both sides. Dr. Georgia Ede, Psychiatrist on the subject. Dr. Paul Mason. Dr. Zoe Harcombe. Experts on the subject of nutrition.
@@suicune2001 You've never looked. Try listening to the human race. Millions of carnivores that live on ice and run reindeer their whole lives and have never seen a vegetable. Tell me they don't exist. I've been a carnivore for thirty-two years, I'm seventy-two and very healthy because vegetables actually make me sick. They have salicylates in them that make many people very ill, they just don't realise that vegetable matter is what's causing their problems.
I obviously agree with the video but experts opinion is very low on the evidence based pyramid and you know it mike. But just to be clear i love you cover studies and I can't wait for the series where you cover resend research on vegans!! Please do more videos like these!!
Cool, I didn't recall Dr Greger talking about endotoxins and their effect on the brain. There is a video of Greger talking about methionine and I think it recirculating in the stifled necrotic rotting feces of the necrovore through the bloodstream because of the stifled turd and eventually synthesizing into amyloid plaques in the brain, I may have this mixed up with something else tho because it's been a few years since I've seen those videos...
@@krishnaveganathar Lol. No worries. It just means: slang for “I acknowledge honest take/perspective of a position/proposition and/or I agree with the take/perspective of the position/proposition.” In this case, I mean it by both definitions. Hope that’s clear and concise.
Hi Mic subscriber here. Can you do a video on the carnivore family? They seem like a sweet family, but they are misinformed. Your knowledge on data is amazing.
What about the Loma Linda Blue Zone? Forgetting the 7.7% in the fake, "Vegan" category, the meat eaters add 8yrs to the US avge & the vegetarians 9.5yrs. Seed oils, overly processed foods & additives appear to cause health issues, rather than animal products.
You're ignoring that they live in a completely different area culturally, with a different climate, which will affect their stress levels which will affect their health. Add that to locally available foods and different food additive regulations etc. And as you can be perfectly healthy on a vegan diet there's no need to eat meat for "health reasons."
@@creampuff4721 Dietary experimentation, combined with 4+yrs of investigation, has led me to the conclusion that WF omnivore is the natural diet, for humans. If some wanna pretend to be herbivores (popping supplements), that's fine but I'm not playing that game.
There are no known prevention techniques to avoid parkinson's disease. Maybe I missed that point in this video? But it's pretty ridiculous that this guy would blame it on a lack of meat.
He is finishing a study in nutrition I believe? But in addition he presents the opinion of the actual writers of the study that aparently max disagrees with.
Never mind, this poor YOUNG boy will soon wake up. I've been low carb and carnivore for over thirty years. I'm now seventy two, perfectly healthy and I'll see him in the ground, even at his age.
There is nothing wrong with a low carb diet as long as you realise that low-carb does not automatically mean eating lots of saturated fat. It can mean not eating lots of foods high in sugars. I eat a fairly low carb diet, which is very similar to the Mediterranean diet. I eat salmon, prawns, eggs(occasionally) and goat or sheep cheese. Plus lots of extra virgin olive oil, avocados, beans, certain nuts, seeds, berries, leafy greens and lots of salad. Hardly an unhealthy diet but still what vegans would no doubt call low carb.
Our ancestors did not eat the meat that is available today. Was way leaner. There would never be enough eggs in nature for a tribe, or clan, to eat 4-5 or more eggs per day. A ton of butter as well? 🙄
funny since neurology has studied the ketogenic diet since 1920, all these neurologists and the epilepsy foundation, STILL highly recommend 85% animal fats, meat, and very little carbs. It is a little bit ironic that a diet this old, is still highly recommended for brain health. What is even more amazing, is EATING HIGH ANIMAL FATS and eliminating carbs and plant matter seizures decrease and can be eliminated. hm... it would appear that brain health improves when you remove plants and carbs. and eat animals instead... hm....
If it did, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease would be lowest in America. 🤣
👍
I thought the same thing. lol. Same with osteoporosis. Americans should have the thickest bones on the planet if cheese prevented osteoporosis.

My mother (high blood pressure) added the 5 handfuls of greens a day of Dr. Esselsteyn (and they did eat nuts and seeds, and nutbutter/seedbutter as Dr. Greger recommended, not low fat like Dr. Barnard and Dr. Esselsteyn). From dangerously high blood pressure she is now down to a normal blood pressure, without medication. Her tools: (whole) plant based eating, and mindfulness for stress reduction. My parents' health improved so fast. My mother at 79 never loses track of stories, my father at 85 is still doing bookkeeping and is working in the garden hours on end each day. They are both on 'real' bikes (not e-bikes). Forever grateful to all the people (including you) who spread the information about the health benefits of whole food plant based eating.
What if we eat vegetables, fruits, meat, fish, nuts, dairy products and many things in a balanced diet?
@@taylorfusher2997 that's what my parents had been doing for their entire life. Very balanced, lots of veggies and fruits. Still, ditching dairy and all meat (incl. fish) made a huge improvement in their health (also measurable: lower LDL, lower blood pressure, better score at cognitive tests).
Yet he speaks like he knows what he is talking about when he has no clue. But the money is his teacher.
Max needs to be removed from communicating with anyone. He is too dangerous. An abandoned oil rig is the place for him. He can grow crops.
I really enjoyed reading your comment. Thank you for sharing your experience and learning.
It's great to hear how well your parents are doing 💕

Endotoxemia associated with the carnivore diet is the real thing and it almost killed me. The amount of LPS in my gut must have been enormous as I required medical attention every 3-4 weeks due to methane SIBO. I basically killed all the good bacteria when I stopped eating most and then all carbohydrates. Symptoms related to this type of SIBO can be life threatening because when you have bowel movement once a week which is as painful as giving birth (to a few small pebbles) the amount of LPS produced in your gut is more than your body can handle and my liver was not in a good shape after years of this horrible experiment. I tortured myself with low carb diets for 6 years before I gave up and I hated meat all my life so the fact that those diets require you to up your meat consumption was yet another level of torture for me. I did all the fat to protein ratios (including therapeutic ketosis 4:1 and 2:1) to make things work, "clean" carnivore and keto without any processed foods/meats but it was only getting worse. Being plant-based is HEAVEN. I'm grateful (and surprised) I'm capable of digesting carbohydrates now considering the fact that I most likely annihilated bacteria responsible for digesting different carbohydrate types. I'll never eat meat again.
I had a 80 year old customer come in he was vegetarian and he could barely formulate any sentences to tell me what he wanted to order. Meanwhile I'm over here with a seemingly higher level of cognition he couldn't tell me what he wanted as a side for his grilled cheese and no meat. Yah no thanks

@guitarszen my cholesterol was nearly 400 and LDL 275. I was vomiting 3 days a month, I had such severe migraines I don't wish upon the worst enemy. People rationalize their situation when they hear people such as Dr. Georgia Ede (Harvard trained psychiatrist and carnivore), Dr. Paul Mason and Prof. Thomas Seyfried telling you that meat heals. The amount of misinformation is what makes people stick to this horrible woe for a very long time. I should have known better but I'm glad I'm back to normal 👍
@@taylorfusher2997 I tried that, too, with no change in my symptoms. I'm not saying people should go vegan to achieve their 'full potential'. I'm just saying that 100% carnivory or long term keto will eventually catch up with you. Mikhaila Peterson is a great example. She's got many of her symptoms back and she's had many respiratory issues in the past 2 years including pneumonia. She's been complaining to Judy (Nutirtion with Judy) that she thought she was healed but her symptoms are coming back and she's sick a lot. I gave it a go for 6 years and I'm done with meat. I've seen the first sings of improvement after cutting out meat and dairy completely. Everything got better.
@@andrewjones8484 of course there are very sick vegans and vegetarians, too. I know I'd be sick again if I started to eat dairy. Everyone should examine their own body and do what's best for them. My highly carnivore aunt and her brother both got AD. My fahter, their brother is getting there, too. They eat a regular diet, no processed foods, old school Polish diet, whole foods only, but plentybof meat and dairy. We should be looking at our genetics and predespositions I suppose. I regained my focus and I'm mentally back to normal after cutting sat fat and animal protein from my diet and going mediterranean but with little to no gluten in it. I love olive oil, high quality and I'm better than ever. I'm close to 50. Everyone is different. I have never tolerated meat and dairy since early childhood.
I've been depressed at most points in my life. I'm sad that people continue to think eating animals is okay.
Animals, especially cows use less, provide more and regenerate lands....almonds on the other hand kill more animals, fill the water with chemicals,use massive amounts of carbon,plastics and water to get it to you across the globe..... you kill animals/bugs/birds/insects while depleting the land while you hate people using far less and obtaining more nutrients cause you hate people and animals alike.
Same here friend, same here.
Yeah, I’m not sure where Max is getting his facts. Very sad when you find out why he is concerned about this. The vegetarians I’ve known live on cheese, loads of fatty cheese. Dairy was the last animal product I eliminated. I finally dumped it when I over-microwaved it and it was a pool of grease!!!! Animal fats, not complex carbohydrates are problematic.
agreed, and heme iron too
All saturated fats are a problem. If u adopted a diet based on a lot of coconut products for example, it would be just about as bad as dairy.
Is that our species based diet? No. Animal protein and saturated fats have always been. High cholesterol, and removal of statins, prevents dementia.
What people need to realize is that anyone, literally anyone, can claim to be a "health advocate" or whatever and say literally anything they want about health and food. You throw them on a podcast and they are given legitimacy. Do not just blindly believe anything you hear some dude on a podcast say. Hell, these days a lot of influencers even fake being on podcasts to give themselves an air of legitimacy by showing clips of them appearing to be in a podcast set up when they are really just talking to themselves and the camera.
♥️THANK YOU Mic ‼️My husband & 2 young adult sons had “an intervention”😮 and want me to have blood work and a COGNITIVE TEST from a doctor‼️They are so concerned that this is true and doubt the research that shows that it is not‼️
Poor you. Be strong 💪 Mic is there for us
So awful. Sorry they don't support you
Tell them I've been completely plant-based for 22 years and am an engineer. If my brain weren't working optimally I'd notice real quick. Blood work is perfect too. I could go on and on with all the benefits I've experienced.
@@sweetpotato1357 ♥️THANK YOU‼️I will tell them‼️
Perhaps have them watch this video from Mic.
My dad passed from a Parkinson's related issue (blacked out swimming). Even back in the 90s it was very clear to specialists that high-meat diets were a strong driver of the disease's progression. I watched my dad pursue every other treatment protocol with zeal, but he just couldn't give up that high meat diet, and it almost certainly shortened his life. And that's one of the main motivations behind me going vegan - using my love of science and data to discover the healthiest dietary protocol known to man.
On the flip side, I personally know of a raw vegan health coach in Florida (Amy Elise) who is treating a man in his late 60s with advanced Parkinson's. He was wheelchair-bound 6 months ago when he came to her. Now he is standing and can walk around, albeit poorly. He's actually regained mobility on a protocol of zero medications, just a raw food diet + herbal supplements and tinctures. I met him and keep in touch. Isn't that amazing!
Look at high dose vitamin B1 for Parkinson's.
Vegan or omnivore, both could be filled with junk food.
Biggest risk for vegans is a b12 deficiency.
These studies are mostly worthless if they don't have complete diet data and blood work.
Dairy is a big contributor of this too! Does it have to be raw vegan or a 100% WFPBD to getting parkinson's under control?
Literally no evidence....high evidence poor vegan diets that corrode the neurons and mess up hormones are the cause not meat👓
Does meat prevent dementia? I know it doesn’t prevent ridiculousness.
It doesn't prevent cruelty either
💚
Thank you very much for this, Mic. I saw this Lugavere clown on Impact Theory as well & it’s caused me quite a bit of frustration that these channels mainly interview people who promote animal based diets & exclude those promoting Whole Foods plant diets.
I used to follow Tom Bilyeu some years ago, and last week I went to see a new video and he looks soo sick. It is definitely not working for him.
What support is Max getting from the meat industry?
Yeah good point. He’s sponsored by butcher box like all the great assholes of our time.
What if we eat vegetables, fruits, meat, fish, nuts, dairy products and many things in a balanced diet?
What support isn't he getting, would be an easier question to answer.
@@taylorfusher2997 How about if you eat all kinds of vegetables, fruits, nuts & seeds and maybe some grains as well. You don't need to eat sentient animals it's not a necessity.
Probably not directly, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they accounted for a majority of his book sales.
I love the music you use in your videos, Mic. You've been using that same intro/outro track for years and it's just such a vibe - super nostalgic too as it reminds me of your earlier days on TH-cam and the website in general back in 2015; your video style has aged so wonderfully :)
It’s quite sad that Max L was inspired to work in the nutrition influencer arena by his mother’s death, and is now out there influencing people to adopt diets that could damage their health.
So true
Quite the opposite , you didn't listen at all? His mother was heavily plant based , he is now helping people to not go into that road.
This is a good example why Max Lugavere shouldn’t be listened to diet, nor should anyone who takes him seriously.
Meat-eaters and vegetarians and vegans get dementia. Max actually seems to think that the fact that his mom was vegetarian must be the reason she developed dementia. He just doesn’t have a basic understanding of scientific thinking. As Mic shows, he misinterprets and misrepresents data.
@@richardcardinale7152 I'm really not sure how this video led you to the conclusion that he's helping people.
@@richardcardinale7152 Are you implying plants caused his mother's dementia? Clearly it couldn't have been the dairy, eggs and probably fish she was chugging down daily, loading herself with saturated fat. Or did you miss or cannot distinguish the massive difference in health outcomes between *vegeterian* and *vegan* diets? Vegeterian diet is just as bad, if not worse than an SAD diet, because dairy products, etc. are some of the worst offenders in health.
Meat IS dementia
Plants IS dementia 😂

Delusional!
You stay vegan and get sicker and sicker. Spend more and more money on added pills to save your life.
My doctor, who is vegan, asked if I wanted to join a weight loss group to help get my sugar under control. I eat mostly plant based. I paid the $350 (no refunds of course) only to find out she was promoting a high fat and protein, extreme low carb diet. I agreed to try to get my money out of it and I’ve never been so sick. I haven’t used the bathroom properly in 2 weeks. My brain is mush. I feel like death. She says I’m just detoxing 😂
I found that comment of his mother getting a Parkinson’s like dementia very interesting. I work in a nursing home and we have a lady who used to be very vibrant in life. She is now bedbound and almost mute, she used to say the occasional word and smile but she has lost that over the last couple of months. The diagnosis from the medical team was Lewy body dementia FROM THE PARKINSONS MEDICATION. Nothing to do with diet (though I’m sure it would have made a difference if she had been plant based). It’s a truly devastating condition that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. She understands everything you say, she just cannot respond any more. Heartbreaking….
My otherwise smart and educated 93 yr old mother went on an all-meat and a few nuts diet earlier this year, and couldn’t be persuaded otherwise. Pot roast, one meal a day. Pro’s: she lost a bunch of weight. Con’s: she recently lost her life to pneumonia and obstructed bowel. Yes, she was elderly but I blame her insane diet on hastening her demise. She found the carnivore diet concept on TH-cam and bought books and believed their BS.
Very sorry to hear that. My condolences, I hope you are well.
@@TheJunkerOne thank you. Yes, I am well. It’s been a week and a half and my grieving stopped when she passed. She was so dear to me. But I wonder on a subconscious level if the meat diet was her ticket to the death she wanted, on her own terms. Instead of choosing an emergency surgery for the obstructed bowel she chose hospice. And it was a painless, peaceful, rather quick death. Maybe if she was a whole food plant based person she would have had a long, lingering death at a 105. I’ll never know🤷🏼♀️
I'm so sorry this happened. My mom tells her doc every time she visits him that she wants to go Keto. He always tells her, "keto is not for old peaple".
I'm so sorry for your loss. These industry funded studies and self appointed experts with confirmation bias are totally poisoning the science with deadly consequences. Take care.
Fatty meat doesn't cause bowel obstruction , I'm sorry for you and sorry for your loss but it was not the meat.
The Drs Sherzai have a really informative podcast episode directly addressing some of Max's prior claims on brain health.
"Do Meatless Diets Cause Dementia?" Definitely. Mic the Vegan is a living example.
You know,
Both my great grandfathers, as well as both grandfathers, ate a lot of meat and vegetables because that's how we eat culturally ( southern European ), and they all died of heart attacks or strokes 😭😭😭😭
My grandmothers ate less meat and would lovingly put a much larger share on their husband's plates.
Saw it with my own eyes, time and time again.
Forgot to mention,
Both grandmothers outlived their husbands by decades.
@@teagoldleaf4137 Not surprising since women tend to outlive men worldwide. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if nutritional stigmas are why. Women are socially expected to eat more vegetable and men are socially expected to eat more meat.
@@teagoldleaf4137 Imagine if they were vegan. They would be alive today posting vegan vids on boobtube.
@@teagoldleaf4137admittedly that's the observation with woman living in households with running water (independent of their diet), they outlive men (especially when they needn't live with men or give birth )
Thanks for this video. I watched the podcast the other day, and it made me rethink my vegan diet (been vegan for 6 years) precisely because of his comment on his mom’s disease and vegetarian diet..
Would be great if Steven had Team Sherzai on to counter Max's points. It would be even better if they could debate the issue of dementia with Max, head to head. At this point it seems clear to me that nutritional literacy has an inverse relationship with an individual's reach or ability to be booked onto a huge podcast to spout their dubious views.
Never stop doing these videos👏it’s crazy how people can go on these HUGEEE podcasts with millions of listeners and just talk rubbish with absolutely no fact checking🥴that’s why your videos are important, so that people can get the scientific viewpoint!!🥦💚
And what does he have? Expertise? Knowledge? B.S.
Given his motivation for nutrition and his interest in brain health - how can he NOT know about the Sherzeis or ignore the overwhelming research about the effects of high (!) meat (and/or dairy) consumption.
It makes one wonder where his income is derived. Mic mentioned Butcher Box. Some People blindly follow his advice and pay money for it. There’s a sucker born every minute.
People like this are causing so much harm to people. How can they be so stupid?
The so called experts or the people listening to them?
The stuff we should eat is all natural food. Is it really hard to see?
Hey Mic, just a quick thank you for all you do! You have helped me tremendously on my journey to become vegan for good!
I love that you include all the references in the description. So awesome!!
Try Dr. Zoe Harcombe and Paul Mason. Georgia Ede. See what they have to say. If you have the guts. Dr. Ede is a Psychiatrist and knows what meat is all about. We're made of the stuff.
Thank you for your work! 💚 Such a light in the midst of TH-cam BS everywhere.
FYI, my great-uncle Buddy went vegan at 90 and lived to 105 still sharp as a tack mentally and had a personal trainer to the end.
A higher intake of animal-derived foods may increase the risk of dementia. Also, vegans should regularly monitor their Omega-3 and Vitamin B12 levels and supplement as needed to support optimal brain health as they age.
Please explain how animal food increases dementia? It seems to me and most people that dementia has increased intensely since veganism and the intake of sugar has increased. That would be about since the end of WW2. What do you think?
@@toni4729 We can also say that dementia has increased as more people have had access to internet, cellphones, as there are more people on the planet, as there are more burger kings and McDonalds are available, as there are more women in the workforce, as many people have access to education, as the temperature has risen, as UFC have gotten more viewers. You can literally say that dementia has increased as any other stat that has increased over the years, you can find correlation for anything 😅😅
@@imhassane Are you suggesting that veganism is good? You can laugh all over your face alright if you're one of them. Keep on laughing when your brain starts to shrink. you can't get fat out of a lettuce. Our brain is 60% fat and 20% cholesterol and neither of those things can you get from vegetable matter. Yes, your body makes some cholesterol but not enough for your sex hormones or the billions of cells in your body. Most people who start a vegan diet give it away after a few years when they see the truth about it. It's totally unnatural. It's never been done naturally, it's impossible. You have to live with drug companies to survive. What a life.
@@imhassane And we all fly now, are you saying sugar and oils don't have a part in it? They're in everyone's diet that don't think past the supermarket and certainly in all vegans diet.
@@toni4729 you need controlled studies to determine what causes dementia, you just don’t say as X has gone up, dementia has followed too. That’s just correlation and it’s not true that sugar and oils are in all vegan diets
His Mom was a vegetarian, cooked with vegetable oils, and developed dementia, so he took that anecdotal case and created his nutritional pseudoscience world, and a lucrative one at that. He knows he’s full of it too, which is why he blocks everyone who challenges him.
Vegetarians eat eggs, cheese, butter, chicken and milk. enough animal products to trigger dementia.
At any rate, even she had been vegan, she could have still gotten dementia. Nothing can outright eliminate the likelihood of a disease, just reduce it
This is the Paleo Diet that came after Atkins. Just when you think that they’re dead, these low carb diets keep coming back like in a bad horror movie.
Compared to high malnutrition plant based diets👓. Consume 5 pounds of food for only quarter cup of absorbable/bioavailable nutrients...win for vegan corporations and healthcare cause when it messes you up enough you will get pills for life.
Another thoughtful and discerning video. Thanks Mic. Keep keeping us in the know. Nutritional Science on TH-cam right now is like the wild west. Blessings, :)
Well said 👏
I watched the interview on Diary of a CEO, directly after watching Tim Spector, and the difference between a scientist and a “Nutrition Journalist” couldn’t be more different. Was the last episode I watched Diary of a CEO for featuring guest for clickbait rather than science.
Same here. I used to enjoy it, but it's definitely gone downhill IMHO.
Diary of a CEO uses fear-inducing thumbnails for clicks. Every episode will try to convince you you're dying.
Thank you!!! Max was a guest on other podcasts that I love…leaving me feeling awful bc of his misguided influence. This helps so much!!
Great video mic.
Loaded with studies and arirxlei, htting hard with strong evidence.
Keep up the great work .
😊
Thank you for covering this. Listening to this podcast a while back I was mortified at the unsubstantiated claims he was making. Honestly it was disappointing as I am subscribed to the Diaries of a CEO podcast.
I can follow the nutritional advice of Dr. Dean Ornish and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn or I can follow the nutritional advice of Max Lugavere and Nina Tiecholz. That's a tough one.
I'm really hoping my long-term vegan diet will pay off when it comes to not losing my mind in 20 more years.
Just make sure your body is properly converting ALA into EPA/DHA. I know a few people who really struggle on vegan diets because their internal machinery is so compromised that they can't properly make that conversion.
Something I wish the vegan community would talk about more is bivalves and eggs. Animal-based food sources that can be entirely cruelty free. Bivalves have no brains, and no capacity for suffering. Technically vegan. Anyone who's lived with chickens on a farm knows that they are constantly laying eggs, and literally don't care about most of them. And it's easy to find eggs at the store that are completely cruelty free, no cages, fed their natural diets, etc. It's a completely symbiotic relationship, no exploitation going on.
While the body "can" thrive on a vegan diet, the absolute ideal nutrition profile for a human doesn't perfectly match the absolute nutrition profile of an optimized vegan diet. As we age, our ability to convert ALA declines, our ability to synthesize collagen declines, and many other examples. But if you add in these forager-friendly foods, just in very small amounts, those nutritional profiles match up perfectly.
In terms of evolution, it makes no sense that proto-humans would avoid easily-obtainable food items like eggs and bivalves. Just sitting there. People tend to forget how absolutely vast the bird populations were up until a few centuries ago when we started mass-clearing their habitats (forest and grasslands). It would be hard to travel 100 feet without stumbling upon a bird's nest. It just makes sense that such foods would have become regular additions to our overall plant-based frugivorous diet.
@@Mistral434
People also have genetic differences that may or may not allow them to flourish on a vegan diet.
A b12 deficiency can easily cause early dementia and some people genetically need higher levels of B12.
Same. And I hope my siblings eventually follow. Dementia runs in my family so I've started taking algae oil.
@@rowenaanderson3739 scary I'm so sorry.
You will probably die of malnutrition before your already failing mind gets the official stamp of dementia.
Thanks Mic, love your work!
Crazy how much we have been lied to
A video about plantbased keto would be very interesting :) Because the studies seem to be only adressing meat eater keto. I heard that low carb is bad when you run on carbohydrates but that you can thrive if you run on unsaturated fat.
Can you have ketosis while only eating plants? This is a genuine question, you may have a low carb diet with only plants, but is it truly a keto diet?
How does a diet low in fat and high in fiber and other necessary nutrients cause dementia?? Sat fats from animals cause dementia because those fats start to deposit in the brain capillaries and over time cause blockages, aka strokes, etc.
Fantastic analysis. Well done Mic!
Processed meat has been processed for thousands of years. We've processed it for a very long time before refrigeration. Remember, we've only had fridges for a few decades and we didn't all live in the snow all year round.
I guess he hasn't kept track of prions which are found in animal products both domestic and wild.
He needs more starchy tubers for his brain function.
He eats tubers. He isn't carnivore
Omg film guy giving us advice about dementia 😮🙄😒😳😱 I am sure his mom ate liquid meat - milk yogurt cheese along with eggs. The idiocy...
Very good, thanks. Great graphics, the well selected quotes and graphs. A request: if these showed in writing their source which you speak out they would be very useful to share as screenshots. Without it written people would have to watch the video amd many can't spare the time for that. Well good show, thanks.
So much information in this video. I think one should have a vegetable based diet that causes as little inflammation as possible - whatever the diet. I'm a vegetarian. (Don't kill me vegans). I will insult people further - here in Europe I believe it's easier to eat little, quality vegetarian food.
My own main hypothesis is to eat very little. I mean extremely little - as in only when you have hunger. My grandparents were like that and worked to their 90s as any other people, my father is like that as well. My mother has eaten a lot in her life and has had two cancers and quite immobile.
it's almost a waste of time debunking such a ridiculous claim.
If meat 'n' grease were actually the answer, North America would be full of healthy folks. This guy has not crossed my YT feed, but I know what to do if he does.
I don't see any meat and grease cookies and ice cream.
Pancakes with syrup and orange juice for breakfast has no meat or grease in it... I think you're missing something here....
Super sized soft drinks again, no grease...
Yep there's more to it.
That fast food drive thru window, no exercise needed, has got to have something to do with it too.
@@mballer There is meat and grease but it's seed oils and breaded, deep-fried, conventional meat paired with sugars and bread or deep-fried starches.
FANTASTIC! Thank you so much!!! 💝
Enjoy it while you can, it's going to kill off the planet at a hell of a rate. Farmers don't keep pets and we can't keep growing vegetables in sand. We need all those animals.
Interesting for sure. I think that accounting for things such as BMI and previous strokes are a form of survivorship bias; they'r ebasically selecting people who do well while eating red meat.
Thank you for a great myth buster 😉
Wait and see. This crap he's spilling kills.
Change my mind:
plant based is always lower in calories. thats what explains the positive effects. In isocaloric studies the lower caloric bioavailability isn´t taken into account. Amount of nutrients that are theoretically contained in a plant are not the same that our bodies are able to use.
You're so Golden! ❤️ Thank you for everything you do!

To what type of arrangement are you referring? If you mean "argument", you might consider getting yourself checked out for dementia.😜
[ Fear not! I have a screenshot.👍]
In context, the idea is that meat doesn't heal anything, but the battle against cholesterol is missguided, and in conjunction with statin meds, decreases cholesterol at the detriment of the brain ,which is built of cholesterol (25%). Statins decrease the coating of nerves and reak havoc on the neurological systems. Im a carnivore, but im not here to compare our extremes, im here to talk about the effects of what we are both not eating; sugar, carbs etc.

I've been a carnivore for thirty-two years, I'm seventy-two and very healthy because vegetables actually make me sick. They have salicylates in them that make many people very ill, they just don't realise that vegetable matter is what's causing their problems.
Cherry picking a study is exactly what I expected to find.
Is scientific trend cherry picking?
I obviously agree with the video but experts opinion is very low on the evidence based pyramid and you know it mike. But just to be clear i love you cover studies and I can't wait for the series where you cover resend research on vegans!! Please do more videos like these!!
Remember who these people are as the temperatures rise.
Cool, I didn't recall Dr Greger talking about endotoxins and their effect on the brain. There is a video of Greger talking about methionine and I think it recirculating in the stifled necrotic rotting feces of the necrovore through the bloodstream because of the stifled turd and eventually synthesizing into amyloid plaques in the brain, I may have this mixed up with something else tho because it's been a few years since I've seen those videos...
So you could essentially add protein to your list of villains, or excess sulfur-containing amino acids...
My Vitamin B12 levels dropped to 112 once & since then I'm always at a loss for words, which becomes obvious when I speak

Vegans are emotional and empathetic people. I imagine depression existed before their diet changed.
I'll agree with that. Meat is very relaxing.
Based. Liked and shared.
Does “based” mean “cool”? Because I am not clear on this word-smithery.
@@krishnaveganathar Lol. No worries. It just means: slang for “I acknowledge honest take/perspective of a position/proposition and/or I agree with the take/perspective of the position/proposition.” In this case, I mean it by both definitions. Hope that’s clear and concise.
Hi Mic subscriber here.
Can you do a video on the carnivore family?
They seem like a sweet family, but they are misinformed.
Your knowledge on data is amazing.
Ordered my “seeds” today thanks for the video Mic you know yer stuff 😊
Cheese is worse than meat IMO
What about the Loma Linda Blue Zone? Forgetting the 7.7% in the fake, "Vegan" category, the meat eaters add 8yrs to the US avge & the vegetarians 9.5yrs.
Seed oils, overly processed foods & additives appear to cause health issues, rather than animal products.
You're ignoring that they live in a completely different area culturally, with a different climate, which will affect their stress levels which will affect their health. Add that to locally available foods and different food additive regulations etc. And as you can be perfectly healthy on a vegan diet there's no need to eat meat for "health reasons."
@@creampuff4721 Dietary experimentation, combined with 4+yrs of investigation, has led me to the conclusion that WF omnivore is the natural diet, for humans. If some wanna pretend to be herbivores (popping supplements), that's fine but I'm not playing that game.

There are no known prevention techniques to avoid parkinson's disease. Maybe I missed that point in this video? But it's pretty ridiculous that this guy would blame it on a lack of meat.
Mic knocks Max for his lack of qualifications but what medical qualifications does MIc have?
He is finishing a study in nutrition I believe? But in addition he presents the opinion of the actual writers of the study that aparently max disagrees with.
Never mind, this poor YOUNG boy will soon wake up. I've been low carb and carnivore for over thirty years. I'm now seventy two, perfectly healthy and I'll see him in the ground, even at his age.
I love how the most beneficial diet according to that doctor couple is literally MY diet! I win! Veganism rules.
There is nothing wrong with a low carb diet as long as you realise that low-carb does not automatically mean eating lots of saturated fat. It can mean not eating lots of foods high in sugars. I eat a fairly low carb diet, which is very similar to the Mediterranean diet. I eat salmon, prawns, eggs(occasionally) and goat or sheep cheese. Plus lots of extra virgin olive oil, avocados, beans, certain nuts, seeds, berries, leafy greens and lots of salad. Hardly an unhealthy diet but still what vegans would no doubt call low carb.
Our ancestors did not eat the meat that is available today. Was way leaner. There would never be enough eggs in nature for a tribe, or clan, to eat 4-5 or more eggs per day. A ton of butter as well? 🙄
We're made of fat and meat, and he wants you to believe that we should all turn into flowers.
Nutrition devoid of toxins along with exercising the body an memory prevents dementia
And the Earth 🌎 is flat.
LMAO film and psychology
funny since neurology has studied the ketogenic diet since 1920, all these neurologists and the epilepsy foundation, STILL highly recommend 85% animal fats, meat, and very little carbs. It is a little bit ironic that a diet this old, is still highly recommended for brain health. What is even more amazing, is EATING HIGH ANIMAL FATS and eliminating carbs and plant matter seizures decrease and can be eliminated. hm... it would appear that brain health improves when you remove plants and carbs. and eat animals instead... hm....
How dare you to say the truth. 🍖🥩🍗🥚🥓🧀
Mic, can you please point me to the best study of vegans which shows going vegan improves health across the board? Thanks in advance!
People have got to stop taking nutritional advice from random non-experts on the internet.
Lololol debunking the guy using his own cited data, niceee
Gotta admit beef is the healthiest food for humans.
Beef, lamb, liver, chicken, salmon, eggs, dairy. Good stuff.
