I was diagnosed with diabetes 2 years ago and I can say with much confidence that; Dr Barnard’s books and methods saved my life.
Hdl .whart is the ideal reading
@@davidwhartoni5346 LDL is 35-50
I am so glad you made the choice to save your life and I am so grateful for this wonderful man saving me too. I had horrible migraines, depression, acne, bacterial infections, candida, and more and it's all going away. It's only been a month and I feel way better already. I was only 26 and have a horrible response to sat fat. Cutting it out has been revolutionary for me. WFPB no oil for my health and vegan for the sweet moo moo's and baa baa's and cluck cluck's!

Dr. Neal Barnard is the best doctor in America!
Thank you for sharing the truth you know and so willing share with us! May God bless you always!
You have to ask the question: Who is funding these studies? Pharmaceutical companies in order to get Drs to push Statin drugs. You can always tell when someone is stuck in their own world because they make fun of people who disagree with them. It's the oldest trick in the book.
Thank you Dr Barnard for your responsible professionalism. And for being humble and kind enough to teach us the truth for free. By learning the truth about how food effects our bodies I've made dietary changes, become more healthy, energetic, got my serum cholesterol down to the healthy range, my blood pressure stays around 110/70, my joints are pain-free and inflammation-free, my back is pain-free, and I feel and look younger than most people who are ten+ years younger than me.
MsFit Vegan happy for your health. His teachings are flawed though.
you seem to have best nature!!
He's an idiot period.
It’s really a shame that we have to listen to people apparently eating during his lecture.
bacon and eggs
Such an insult 😢
This is an outstanding lecture.
I’m still all over the place whether or not to be concerned with LDL versus cholesterol. On the one hand there are studies that show it’s not the cholesterol per se that is bad, but the oxidized/glycated LDL which may not directly correlated with the total cholesterol. And also say that high LDL-cholesterol is not necessarily a bad thing as long as HDL, Triglycerides and HbA1c are all within normal limits because it means LDL levels indicate a healthy movement of triglycerides needed for cellular processes… versus this one from Doc Barnard where it lumps all the cholesterol into a bad thing overall…. also about that statin thing, which makes me adamant at taking it to “cure” my high LDL-cholesterol because I have very good numbers for HDL, triglycerides and HbA1c…. 🥴
Check out Dr. Nadir Ali.
Just do not bother with blood cholesterol figures. The true is that nobody knows their significance anyway. They make money out of jiggling with the figures, nothing more. In 99% out of the presentations the metabolic paths are ignored, or wrongly considered.
What is your Hb1C level, if I may ask?
@@asociatiaademed7417 5.1
@@primopierre That is a healthy value. In the scale I used: 5.7% - 6.4% = pre-diabetes, above 6.4% = diabetes. The values may slightly differ with the laboratory and the interpretation - with the physician. To make sure it is ok, you may go for an HOMA-IR. I think you know, but just for my piece of mind: the laboratory tests are not the Holy Cow of the medical science.
Hb1C changes only after at least 3 months, so checking and 5-6 months is enough. To be noted that the contribution of the diet in 30 days prior to test contributes 90% to the test results, while the remaining 2 months - only by 10%.
I assume you are not on diabetes medication. If you are, there is a totally different discussion and please disregard what I said.
Can’t thank you enough Doctor Bernard
you shouldnt
Giving people food during a presentation was a bad idea
I think it significantly adds to the atmosphere, then again I was having lunch whilst watching this video.
So it's not just me who hears the kitcheny noises in the background 🤔
What a stupid thing
I am so disappointed in the scientific community as a whole, the more research I do. It should be a punishable offence to publish biased studies in journals that receive funding from/are done by affected industries. Because of all the confusion and uncertainity the disingenous findings cause, the health of the world (people, animals and environment) have been compromised and even those with the best of intentions have no idea whether they are impoving or worsening any given situation. It is so sad. The best people can do is to compare these research papers themsleves and come to their own conclusions, but not everyone has the time or the knowledge to interpret the data, and it is in no way a foolproof method either. We just trust either one scientist/doctor or another. And to be honest, my vote is with the person guaranteed to have the most empathy and compassion in their hearts, therefore the least likely to decieve or push an agenda for personal gain - I will go with the vegan community.
Very well said
Hdl-ideal reading?
Back in the late 1990s, TV and radio stations presented "studies" showing that "there was no conclusive evidence that smoking cause lung disease"; but those studies were financed by the tobacco industry. Before 2015, the Internet was screaming "cholesterol is bad, if it exceeds 200 you must take statins"; and that was based on "studies" financed by the pharmaceutical industry. After 2015, the anti-cholesterol rhetoric calmed down, because of "studies" that were financed by certain segments of the food industry. Bottom line: Studies seem to consistently "prove" whatever favors those who finance them.
@@BondiAV
Why are we surprised? We're not really.
It's how our own brains work.
Why did people choose to believe those patently false studies?
For the same reason more and more people will continue smoking pot event as more and more studies reveal it's health dangers.
Because smoking grass and tobacco gives them pleasure.
Yup. You are very right .
Thanks a lot. Let the voice of truth be known far and wide. God bless!
when I was first diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, I really disappointed my doctor by refusing to take medications. As I reviewed what the meds were actually doing for people, it sounded to me that meds were making people more and more insulin resistant. A nurse who was coaching me about diabetes, told me I would need to be on metformin, and a year or so later, I would need more metformin, eventually I would need insulin injections. I rejected that. I at first tried Keto that seemed to help but I never felt healthy. Now I am on plant-based way of eating and feel great. I had never heard of type 2, 1.5 with an autoimmune element. I need to learn more about that, as I also have another autoimmune condition.
That is awesome! Many people simply don't get the message it is possible and they remain very ill.
how long did you try keto?
Great, first using alimentation as a correction is always the best. It seems to be greatly underestimated. Insuilin against type2 diabetes is contraproductive!!
Nice and full of humor presentation. However, I was hoping to hear something about the various types of cholesterol subgroups, e.g. VLDL. There is a lot of recent research explaining the subgroups, focus mostly on LDL, which reveal a new picture for those worried about cholesterol. Instead of treating only HDL and LDL as big blocks and using the old total cholesterol formula which dates back many years.
Agree. Watching hours of presentations of how something is linked to something else and what the statistical correlations were computed is wasting time. This is no science but pseudoscience. Biochemistry is a difficult science and that is why most physicians simply do not know. It is so easy to dump some figures in a computer program and graph the outputs! Add a tie and a screen and voila! You have "science". I forgot to mention the money :-)
You want someone to tell you that high total cholesterol is good. It’s not good. It’s not that complicated. It’s just that Keto diet doctors are trying to explain away keto dieter’s total high cholesterol numbers, trying to say higher numbers are good.
@@mariaespiritu9512 That might be an oversimplification of the matter as most recent research is starting to reveal. If lipids are sitting idle in a tube, true that they could end up sticking. But when those same lipids are being actively pushed forwards by various transporters, the picture is different.
@@mariaespiritu9512 I agree with you. Medicine is still trying to let people eat their regular foods and fine tune their analysis to find the people who will really have a heart problem from it. They are trying and failing.
@@mariaespiritu9512 You have absolutely no clue.
I want to say Dr Barnard ROCKS!!! I can’t think of any other physician that has done more for veganism and plant based nutrition than him! He inspires me BIG TIME. I was proud to support him and PCRM 2 years in a row at AMA getting important resolutions passed. I am a plant based cardiologist and have been obsessed with evidence based nutrition, lifestyle medicine and veganism for 3+ years now (just had my veganniversary). Dr Barnard you was one of the most influential doctors in my decision. We should support Dr Barnard and PCRM. GO PLANTS! Trying to spread the word myself as well via TH-cam and other places. Let’s be the change!
I love your work dr Lome. I've learnt loads from your videos. Thank you :)
A cardiologist should know that eating meat has nothing to do with heart disease. The cause is the over-consumption of processed sugar and carbohydrates combined with the consumption of the wrong type of fats (mostly vegetable oils.)
Banished From The Dwarf Planet Then why do the ACC/AHA guidelines for prevention of heart disease (written by dozens of the top cardiologists) recommend plant based diets or provegetarian Mediterranean diets? See here: www.onlinejacc.org/content/accj/early/2019/03/07/j.jacc.2019.03.010.full.pdf
@@DrStevenLome That's the billion-dollar question. You've been in practice for a while, but not as long as I have (I took the liberty of browsing your doximity profile) and you should know very well that eating meat has positively no effect on cardiovascular health. You're an interventional cardiologist, so do you really want clear out your cath lab? I'll be honest with you, I'm becoming more and more suspicious of all you "top cardiologists" telling people to eat these pro-inflammatory foods.
Dr Steven>> From your link:
"All adults should consume a healthy diet that emphasizes the intake of vegetables, fruits, nuts,
whole grains, lean vegetable or animal protein, and fish and minimizes the intake of trans fats,
processed meats, refined carbohydrates, and sweetened beverages. For adults with overweight and
obesity, counseling and caloric restriction are recommended for achieving and maintaining weight
loss."
That seems to back up MY claim in my previous post. Nowhere does it say to eliminate animal food, rather to limit processed carbs and trans fats, just like I said.
Troubles me is that there are so many diverse and in some cases opposite opinions from leading cardiologist and nutritionist on this subject
Me too. You can find any opinion that'll satisfy your own confirmation bias. This video could more accurately have been called _''Adding_ to the cholesterol confusion...''
I think he just jumped to the conclusion at the very beginning that cholesterol is bad for you and need to reduce. But in the meantime he also said our body makes cholesterol. Study also shows Statin drug reducing cholesterol doesn't affect heart disease.
Like my doc says , any diet that totally eliminates any food group or promotes only one food group exclusively without exemption is probably wrong or at least unsustainable. Works for me.
Well why would u eat animal products & raise your cholesterol & coat your veins & arteries with it along with fat & saturated fat?
It's called denial
You are great human being and medical Dr. The best wishes for you.
People are so gullible and lazy. He is a non-practicing psychiatrist and plays musical instruments in a couple bands.It really takes a couple seconds to Google things.
He is a trained psychiatrist, not a nutritionist or even a practicing MD.
@@StickJockeyFPV you left out the fact that he’s a clinical nutritional researcher an adjunct professor of medicine and a fellow of the American College of Cardiology. Now tell us your credentials.
@@xbioman7882 you left out the fact that he’s an adjunct professor of medicine, a clinical nutrition researcher and a fellow of the American College of Cardiology.
Very good point on the meta-analysis, but the end-conclusion is also fallacious: Directing guidelines according to populations may actually make things worse for those populations, without a comprehensive understanding of what is going on.
Veganism towards culling the population.
My LDL cholesterol DOUBLED when I started keto diet with eggs and fish. Now my ldl level is 198
There is a good reason for you ldl going high. You should search for the research done by Dave Feldman. He explains this and more. In short, a key diet will pull vldl from your liver. These stay around for a few days. So the previous 3 days can affect the level. Also you fast for a blood test, which pulls out vldls which will raise the ldl. Measuring and using ldl in this way is flawed.

@@paulg687 thanks a lot dear friend 🙏.
We do fasting blood test for lipid profile and sugar tests. I watched the video you suggested. He ate high fat, moderate protein and low carbohydrates. It reduced his carotid artery’s thickness and lowered blood pressure. I hope this keto diet will also help me to cure my BP and my heart ( palpitations)and kidney (eGFR 79)ailments. Once again thanks a lot for your kindness. May god bless you
@@govindang9303 you’re welcome. Just so you know, from what I’ve researched wrt heart palpitations: there are a few common issues that can cause afib. One is electrolyte depletion in magnesium and/or potassium. You can easily try supplementation to see if it fixes the issue. You have to be careful not to overdo potassium supplementation. Start very low and research before you try. A lot of afib issues can actually be caused with back problems. The nerves for the heart come out of the spine (around just below the shoulder blades). If these nerves get pinched they can cause palpitations. If you have back issues around this area, you may want to try to correct that with exercises and stretches. There’s videos based in the McKinskey method you can see to show how to do this. Chiropractors may be able to help, but by doing these McKinskey exercises you can do them each day or as needed. Additionally, with a low carb diet, you may experience a lot of weight loss. This may also improve the situation because you’re applying less pressure on the nerves. Hope that helps.
@@paulg687 thank you, I will try these. My bp shoots up with tight feeling at heart, when try to drink water to keep 1.5 litres daily intake. I think it is because of low GFR of 79. I am restless.
@@govindang9303 I had PVC..ie heart palpitations and started taking magnesium and it was gon the next day and has not returned.
Amazing testimony Jason.
What is your opinion of Ivor Cummins aka the Fat Empero, David Feldman (cholesterol code), and Dr William Davis. Apparently, despite what we physicians have been taught, LDL is quite a poor marker for CVD risk. Better marker is HDL/triglycerides which I believe should be less than 2. When elevated, is a sign of insulin resistance which is definitely a/the driver for almost all CVD.

Yes, LDL by itself is a silly metric. Dave Feldman proved live that he can show impressive LDL with an incredibly poor diet in a week!
Reducing insulin is a key factor in great health. This obsession with LDL is just a way for people to push their beliefs onto you. Your body creates and regulates cholesterol. Eating more foods with cholesterol will make your liver create less - and vice versa.
@@paulg687 Actually, experimental research clearly demonstrates elevated LDL is the central causal factor in LDL because if you keep your LDL in the normal range for a lifetime (35-70), then unless you have a rare genetic disorder, no plaque forms. No elevated LDL=no plaque= no heart attacks.
"Dave Feldman proved live that he can show impressive LDL with an incredibly poor diet in a week!" That doesn't prove or disprove anything--LDL isn't the ONLY factor in human health.
William Davis' book was incredibly weak and flawed on the research and Ivor Cummings dupes people by showing studies where people have LDL under 100 or 130 or even 140 and pretends that is normal or "low" LDL. Then he says--"See, people still have heart disease with normal LDL," except that ISN'T normal or low LDL, it is elevated LDL. Normal LDL is 35-70, and when people's LDL stays down there, arterial plaque doesn't form.
TY for this brilliant info. I was particularly interested to see that most of the cholesterol is in the lean part of the meat and not in the fat.
Better look for other info

The most important issue is shoved aside!
If cholesterol is needed by everything in our body, why is it bad when it comes to the rescue of irritated blood vessels? Shouldn't science concentrate on searching how to prevent vessels irritation?
It's not bad. What's bad is too much ... LDL ... & Trigs
I find that I do best when I don't combine fat and carbs. This way, my digestion is happy. I put olive oil on my non starchy veggies. But I eat beans or oats without fat. I feel best eating that way. 🙂
I am on a relaxed carnivore diet, I have a low carb so I can include dairy, the most digestible food on the face of the planet and an 8 ounce glass of vitamin C juice. The rest is grass fed grass finished red meats bison and beef and pasture raised eggs and pork Wild caught fish. I have contact dermatitis, the carnivore diet put me in remission after 30 days! Cholesterol has been proven to have no link to heart disease, but doctors insist on peddling medication for it.
@@Spyrit2011 I'm on a similar diet, but I don't have juice, that's too much sugar. I do believe in milk though and grass fed animal meat. I eat low carb veggies and low sugar fruits (berries) I also supplement with Spirulina and Chlorella. I'm in perfect health at 67.
@@LisaMurphy I drink juice from red pears, they are low on the glycemic level , 84% water, anti-inflammatory, and packed with nutrients that compliment the carnivore diet. Absorbic acid plays a role in aiding iron absorption into the blood cells as well as boosting the immune system, which these days is pretty important. I am doing carnivore for it's anti-inflammatory properties and fat adaption.
@@Spyrit2011 there isn’t enough land to feed our population animal based foods even IF they were healthy. But they aren’t the most healthy anyway. Plant foods is the most environment, animal and health friendly way to eat as a whole.
@@jbarber1016, we don't eat as a whole, we eat as individuals, what works for some may not work for all. While eating vegetables may be okay for some, eating meat is necessary for many. Those of us who are eating meat as a means of controlling our inflammation, don't really have a choice in the matter, for us, vegetation of some types cause inflammation and extreme pain. I have Psoriatic arthritis, it is an autoimmune disease, I have found out that eggs and milk products cause me pain, the same goes for garlic and onions, I can eat a meat based diet, and test other foods while I am on it to see what causes a flare up and what doesn't. Not everyone has to eat this way, but some of us do, it's not possible to switch 7,5 billion people over to a vegan lifestyle. And P.S. fish and poultry, are meat too, not just cow, there's lamb, goat, and a few others.

One the best 👌 hands down.
My father died after 8 years in a nursing/hospital setting. He had a stroke and had suffered greatly afterwards. I have seen many people suffer and continue a horrible diet even after a heart attack. Who wants their end of life to be filled with pain, unable to move and bed ridden until death. While I am an oval vegetarian, I do not eat a lot of them and will probably give them later. I am also disabled and can tell you about suffering from pain. I do not need to add to my suffering. I broke my back and have rods, plates and screw. Pain is daily, statins made the pain worst, so going vegetarian was the right call for me. My actual lifestyle is Whole Food, Plant-Base. While it won’t stop the pain in the back, it has changed my life. 8 months and still going strong. Food is Medicine.

Great info. Bottom line imho-If you will just look around at the public walking in plain view the obesity in front of you will tell you something is wrong.
True that's the biggest problem, it's not the cholesterol, it's the overconsumption of carbs
th-cam.com/video/LRHir1k9jmE/w-d-xo.html
Marja Stuyt yeah it must b all those burger buns 🙄
It's the overconsumption of food stuff. And very likely the overconsumption of all the wrong foods.

Just common sense. It's not the cholesterol, read this article, see how Americans followed the guidelines and get obese
Marja Stuyt They ate a shit ton of cheese and didn’t exercise. They over ate bad carbs, and underate fiber. They ate too few fruits and vegetables, and ate too many donuts.

Half the patients admitted to hospitals for heart attacks have normal cholesterol. How is it obvious that cholesterol causes heart attacks?
@@kenmarriott5772 Doctors don't have an answer to that question but they will find a way to blame it on "Family History" and tell the patient he/she needs a stent and be put on a fancy new expensive blood thinner like Eliquiis or Brilinta for the rest of their life ( no Warfarin or Coumadin, no siree)especially if they have the dreaded "widowmaker". A friend of my husband's has been taking Statins for over 20 years due to a Family history of heart disease and had a heart attack recently where they found a widowmaker with a 95% blockage. So much for Statins preventing heart attacks and strokes!
@@kenmarriott5772 That's because the "normal" cholesterol levels are actually quite high. The physiological LDL cholesterol levels are 50-70mg/dl
Noah, the dietary cholesterol hypothesis came out of Senator George McGovern’s committee on dietary guidelines for Americans. The Senator asked if there was any evidence for this. He was told no but it would be easier for people to understand, since they were blaming serum cholesterol.
Noah, the new thinking is chronically high levels of insulin is causing heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer’s, joint inflammation. These diseases are reversible by lowering insulin. Cholesterol is the symptom of metabolic syndrome, not the cause.
Before going plant based I was don't carnivore. Now I don't personally know what that did to my cholesterol cause I never had it checked. What I do know is all the people that were getting checked had their doctors telling them they should be on a statin and most of those people saw their cholesterol levels at least double. Some of them are in the 600s, many are 300-500. Clearly eating cholesterol in our diet impacts cholesterol levels.
Was on statin for only 2 months and then spent the next 18 months trying to overcome arrhythmia (14000 pvcs per day).
It's been a year since the pvcs have stopped. Cholesterol is quite high as per my lipid panel report last week, but not taking statin. Instead cutting out eggs, processed fats, etc. while also on 18:6 intermittent fasting.
If I drink more than one cup of coffee per day, I start to have pvcs. If my BMI is high so is cholesterol, if normal my cholesterol is normal. I have tried to take statins three times but always had to stop because of muscle pain. I am old with no artery blockages, but doctors still think I need statins. Just a statistic of one but thought this might help.
May be Cholesterin is not most important. Think of sugar and carbohydrates and obesity!
I stopped eating eggs for a whole year, took the blood test e the cholesterol level did not go up or down. I’m back eating 2 eggs a day.
I am trying to eat as heart healthy as possible ( low cholesterol and low sat. fat foods ) and lower my A1C ( currently 5.8 ) to avoid creeping farther into the pre-diabetic range ..I have recently cut down on a lot of carbs and noticeably dropped weight.

You'd do well to hear from other nutritionists, cardiologists and insulin experts. There are widely varying worthy arguments to be had. One thing I'll say: if fat was so bad for you, why does the body store fat and not something else? I can't think why it would store something that's bad for it.
@@Acadia26so by that logic muscles must be really bad for you since it's hard to put on.

The higher the cholesterol the better.
@@argentum3919 why?
@@lengleowmee7638
It's protective. It's essential. Statins which lower cholesterol have a very negligible effect on CVD and zero effect on all-cause mortality. Oxidized LDL appears to be a contributor. LDL is not cholesterol, it's a transport container for cholesterol, lipids, proteins and triglycerides.
The culprit of what really causes CVD is so evasive they still haven't figured out the mechanism yet.
Elevated triglycerides are a much better predictor of CVD.
@@argentum3919 thank you so much for this needed info
Excellent. Thank you
I eat a high-fat animal product diet and my blood pressure is 120/60 with very low triglycerides.
The crap to avoid is vegetable oil and canola oil.
Give it time. Most people do not see immediate effects of animal fat until later. Your blood pressure is your pressure is a snapshot of your blood pressure and health at a given point.
THANK YOU demoskunk. This bullshite is medicine from the 1960s...they just refuse to give it UP.
The stuff to avoid isn't just vegetable oils like canola and soy and corn, it's also ALL refined foods. All junk foods. All foods that contain sugar. Cholesterol is like little sticks of dynamite in your system and sugar is the box of matches. Keep them both DOWN if you want to avoid disease and live long.

@@LisaMurphy Healthy fats are good, though. And that includes butter and the marbled fat in steaks.
Genius!
I raised my dietary cholesterol drastically with pasture beef and eggs. My cholesterol dropped to perfect. Total 153 and my triglycerides are 35.
I wish someone would explain why they think your case should be ignored. Not how we mortgage our children’s future, but what happened that was different than described. All those studies showed that eating cholesterol raises cholesterol. Was the flaw that pastured meat and eggs were not used? I’m trying to find the fundamental flaw in those old studies he referenced. I eat very little meat. Lots of veggies. LDL is above 70. I DO have a sugar addiction though.
Birtee I believe the fundamental flaw is context. Meat, as in feed lot conventional burgers with fries, beer, and onion rings is a far cry from my pasture raised beef and eggs eaten with lots of vegetables and no processed foods. The studies don’t take into account food quality. People don’t talk about this very much. Quality is very important.
@@Jeffopar The problem is the beer and onion rings, not whether the meat is lot or pasture raised. Still, I wish agriculture would eliminate the vast acreage for corn and wheat and start growing alfalfa and timothy for the livestock.
Excellent presentation. Great information. Thanks for posting.
My non-scientific guess is that the culprit is processed foods. Food from white flour, combined with overconsumption of added sugar. Every measure; plant-based diet, intermittent fasting, Paleo diet, etc.; are beneficial simply because they reduce our consumption of white flour-based foods and added sugar.
Oskar Denis Baharudin the issue is saturated fat. Watch any fatty eat and you will see the plate is primarily fatty foods.
@@adiposerex5150 almost all diseases in modern times are linked with unmanaged glucose level in blood. Please show me any research which shows low carb and high fat cause diabetes. (and please don't show me a research which mix high fat with high carb and calls it high fat diet)

*Jackson Heart Study*
After reviewing 4 papers on the Jackson Heart Study, I could find no significant mention of Cholesterol regarding CVD outcomes. This study's focus was regarding CVD disease awareness in the Jackson Community and treatment quality. This paper seems inappropriately cited given the subject of the analysis.

“In sex-stratified analyses, men in the highest sex-specific tertile of dietary cholesterol had a 43% lower risk of CVD …”
“This study found no evidence of adverse association between dietary cholesterol and risk of CVD among adults with T2DM or prediabetes. In fact, after adjusting for confounding by other lifestyle factors, those with higher dietary cholesterol intakes had a lower long-term risk of developing CVD.”
"Further, there was no adverse association between dietary cholesterol intake and changes in lipid levels (LDL, HDL, LDL:HDL ratio, or triglycerides) over 20 years of follow up in the Framingham Offspring Study."
*MESA Study*
Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis: Biomarkers of Key Biological Pathways in Cardiovascular Disease
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5108521/
“In addition, LDL particle number was a better estimator of atherosclerotic risk when there was discordance between LDL cholesterol (mass of cholesterol carried by LDL particles) and LDL particle number[4].”
“Pentadecanoic acid, a fatty acid biomarker of dietary dairy intake, was inversely associated with incident CVD and CHD, suggesting a potential cardio-protective role for dietary dairy fat. Similarly, trans-palmitoleic acid from dairy fat was associated with lower blood pressure and lower risk of incident diabetes.”

Alamar Fernandez Hi Alamar glad you are getting it, check Doctor Michael Greger How not to die,& NutritionalFacts.org, good luck ignore the unqualified quacks😂🙄Listen to the science👏🏾
@@ceolbeats7182 Not a doctor, here's what the *latest report from the American Diabetes Association* has to say about Fat, Protein, Carbs and Cholesterol, under the "Macronutrient" section:
Nutrition Therapy for Adults With Diabetes or Prediabetes: A Consensus Report
care.diabetesjournals.org/content/42/5/731
*Are Carbs Necessary?*
No, the body makes it's own Carbs when they are absent.
“The amount of *carbohydrate intake required for optimal health in humans is unknown.* Although the recommended dietary allowance for carbohydrate … is 130 g/day ... *this energy requirement can be fulfilled by the body’s metabolic processes,* which include glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis (via metabolism of the glycerol component of fat or gluconeogenic amino acids in protein), and/or ketogenesis in the setting of very low dietary carbohydrate intake (49).”
*Does Reducing Protein Improve Diabetic Health Markers?*
No, Protein positively affects Insulin and blood sugar.
“There is *limited research in people with diabetes or prediabetes without kidney disease on the impact of various amounts of protein consumed* ... A 12-week study comparing 30% vs. 15% energy from protein *noted improvements in weight, fasting glucose, and insulin requirements in the group that consumed 30% energy from protein (61).* "
*Fat and Low Carb Diets (like Carnivore)*
"Eating patterns that replace certain carbohydrate foods with those higher in total fat, however, have *demonstrated greater improvements in glycemia and certain CVD risk factors (serum HDL cholesterol [HDL-C] and triglycerides) compared with lower fat diets.* ”
“Although *the DGA concluded that available evidence does not support the recommendation to limit dietary cholesterol* for the general population, exact recommendations for dietary cholesterol for other populations, such as people with diabetes, are not as clear (8).”
In short, Dietary Carbohydrate is not necessary for Human Health, Protein is a better regulator of Blood Sugar, and Ketogenic Diets have shown the most success in treating Diabetes.
@@ceolbeats7182 it does not take a doctor to see that Barnard is basing his science on epidemiological studies (guesses about food quantities). That is not the main problem. Barnard does not differentiate healthy LDL from oxidized LDL. This alone invalidates all of his arguments against elevating serum LDL levels. He does not even mention how LDL becomes unhealthy. Its like ice skating in army boots. He is all over the place.
I took a blood test or rather my GP send me for one (I didn’t ask for one), the results came with all kinds of deficiencies. GP put me on various vitamins. I collected the medication kept it on the self and went on a dietary path, glass of milk, eggs twice a day. By the third BT everything was within the required limit. I returned all medication to chemist. After that anytime GP send me for a BT, I do my business and make him happy. When I was growing up, we were taught up; egg and whole milk were whole food, that is the truth. Selling by products is Is everybody’s goal. Many are touting for business. That’s how they designed the system. Your body has the capability producing everything that needs. Whatever you have, have in moderation, you’ll be fine.

@@Snooker-cn3dm nope. KETO!
Don't worry about your LDL being high if your on keto, it's most likely the the fluffy good LDL particle, not the small sticky ldl that gets oxidated by sugar, carbs & radicals. Ask your Dr Doctor for a fractionation test for LDL just to make sure. But most likely since your HDL has gone up, and your Tryglycerides are low and A1c is low. Your good on Keto.
@@Snooker-cn3dm This is an example of how your lipids look on a Keto diet. I would have guessed it. It is perfect. A low Triglycerides to HDL ratio is great. Even better if it is less than 1 like this guy!
"Cholesterol particles have oxidized and irritated the artery wall" Are you sure about that causation?
Its total cholesterol..no no its LDL...pardon me, its LDL particle count that matters...no no its oxidized ldl...and now, its apoprotein b:)) this theory definitely not explaining the CVD equation.

I would like to see one day dr. Neal Barnard and dr. Berg sit down on a panel and discuss how best to lower cholestrol. They are both on completely different sides on this very important issue that is killing people. How can we find a true way to lower cholesterol when doctors can't even be on the same page.
I am not on one person's side more than another, I just want clear answers so I'm not confused anymore.
The only thing that I did get from this was that I didn't hear Dr berg state that a plant based, low fat diet is not an acceptable alternative to lowering cholestrol, whereas Barnard stated fat contributes to high cholesterol and why cholesterol is lowered initially on a keto diet. The only thing I did hear Dr berg say that agreed with Dr Barnard was that the body makes its own cholestrol, so if that is the case, why would we need to eat heavy doses in meat, cheese, dairy, and oils if the body produces its own? Isn't too much of one thing bad?
One of the main reasons for me adopting a whole-food, plant-based, vegan diet is that I do not want any animals to die in order to feed me. There has to be a better way. So for two years I’ve been eating a vegan diet, and I feel great.
Dr. Berg and DR Berry believe that because the liver doesn't need insulin to produce usable lipids from dietary animal fats to nourish our cells. They proclaim that sugars and carbohydrates trigger an insulin response that is harmful in numerous ways. Also, in their educated opinion they explain that harmful triglycerides are a byproduct of overindulging with fructose and carbohydrates. I think both schools of thought present interesting theories and eventually the best diet will be discovered.
Berg is a chiropractor.

As the Mayo Clinic reports, most healthy people can eat up to seven eggs a week without increasing their risk of heart disease. Studies have even shown that eating between one and three eggs on a daily basis improves HDL levels, which is the good type of cholesterol. HDL helps to remove some of the bad kind of cholesterol (known as LDL) from your arteries, so you want your HDL levels to be high so that they protect your heart.
Of course, everyone is different. Keep in mind that people with diabetes are already at higher risk of heart disease and some research suggests that eating as many as seven eggs a week could elevate their risk even more.
In short, there is research to back both cases. We suggest limiting your egg consumption-whether that's once a week or three times a week-so that you keep your heart in tip-top shape.
What is the relationship between cholesterol in foods and blood cholesterol levels?
Old info . There is actually little correlation between cholesterol and heart disease. The cholesterol and calcification of the arteries is caused by Insulin Resistance.
fabulous talk
I have seen professors in lectures saying that 'meta-analysis' is at the top of the evidence. That is clearly incorrect as there are many extremely flawed meta-analyses. They can be insightful but painting the broad brush is incorrect. It is totally reliant on the studies which it contains and their ability to be analyzed as a group.
What are other medical conditions that can raise cholesterol? I eat exclusively WFPB for well over a year, absolutely no oil and low salt/sugar but my LDL is very high and even went up over 20 points this past year. I don’t know what more to do. I exercise every day and my BMI is 20. Talk about confusing!!
Don't worry about it if you don't eat seed oils and sugar but you should also avoid bread and rice cos they get converted to glucose. So minus those things means your LDL won't get oxidized which means it won't form plaque in your arteries.
This will explain it all for your
th-cam.com/video/DXKJaQeteE0/w-d-xo.html

Meta analysis is considered very high on the hierarchy of evidence, but you have to look at how things were interpreted.
I went plant based 90 days ago. Gave up meat and dairy and I was already relatively healthy (ate lean meats, veggies etc). I did blood work before and after this change and my results were disappointing. My TC and LDL went up, my HDL improved and my Triglycerides stayed roughly the same. Where did I go wrong???
Come back in 15-20 years and take a mental test and see how well your "brain fog" is.
Use pulses, whole cereals and vegetables in steamed or boiled form with add spices in it keep look over salt and oil intake also. Also fried items and stale food items must be avoided.avoid any high fat, sugar and salty products from outside it is also plant based diet .so not be confused with plant based diet .tae guidance from any Dietician.

I took one 10 mg lipitor each night for about 15 years and it affected me very badly; I didn't know that was the culprit until it was almost too late.
I was born with Scoliosis and used to have slight back pains when walking, standing and sitting for long periods.
A month after I started taking lipitor I noticed that my back pain got worst but I never thought it was the side effects of lipitor.
My doctor prescribed Motrin tablets for my pain but after a while the pain started going down to my hip, and then the ankle of my left leg. Sometimes I had a lot of pain that prevented me from even getting out of bed. Many times I've forced myself to get into a cab to visit the doctor for an injection to ease the excruciating pain because entering and exiting a cab made me screamed; it was hell! My doctor and I thought that the pains were due to Sciatica and Scoliosis.
Sixteen years later I couldn't raised my arms above my waist and neither take a shower; I could've only used the bidet. I had to wait until my daughter visited on Sundays to give me a shower. I soon realized that I was slowly being crippled. Every night when praying I'd say God, I don't know what's going on but please do something to help me, please, I can't live like this!
One night, lying in bed I wondered what would become of me, what kind of life I'd have, and crying I fell asleep. I dreamt my dad who had passed since 1999; it was a very short dream and with a stern and angry voice he said, why are you taking that damn lipitor! I immediately woke up and couldn't go back to sleep with the excitement of knowing what was causing my pains. I believed in my dreams because they're always straight!
The next day, I visited my doctor and asked if he'd change the lipitor because I think that's what causing my pain. He said no, it's been a while since you've been taking that so it's not that, and then said, you must remember that you're getting older and all these things comes with age. I said doc, I'm telling you it's the lipitor and please don't ask how I know that but it IS! He said I can't change it because I know it's not the lipitor and don't stop taking it because you can get a heart attack/stroke. I said ok doc thank you; I shooked his hand as usual and left his office very disappointed.
I returned home and that very night I abruptly stopped the Lipitor and I didn't care what happened! ONLY 6 days after, I could've taken a shower by myself. I called my daughter and gave her the great news, then made an appointment to see my doctor.
I went to my doctor and said doc, within 6 days I got younger instead of older! I raised both my arms above my head and then behind my back only to show him that I can again raised my arms WITHOUT pain! He watched and smiled then said, what happened, what did you do? I said doc, I stopped that damn lipitor! AND, I'll now tell you why I was so sure that it's the lipitor and I told him my dream. Without hesitation, he wrote a prescription for Crestor 5 mg.
It's 5 years since I've been taking Crestor and so far I've no problem. I can walk, stand and sit for longer periods because my suffering wasn't due to Sciatica/Scoliosis but Lipitor!
I'm so happy that I'm getting younger instead of older, lol. Thanks to my loving dad who's still guiding me; may he Rest In Peace🌹🙏
Most of all, Praise to our Dear Lord because nothing happens without him 🙏🙏🙏🌹
thanks for sharing your experiences.

You're welcome.
I agree statins are horrible, the side effects are so bad.
But both lipitor and crestor are same ....both are statins
@@sheetalsingh9594
You're wrong! They're both Statins but NOT the same! I don't have pains since am taking the Crestor and NOW my cholesterol is much better. Many people just have to take cholesterol lowering medications. Sometimes a certain medication doesn't work for everyone so you'd have change medications to see which one works for you.
At the end of this month I shall do my blood test and if my cholesterol is still good my doctor told me that I can then gradually stop the Crestor.
Thank you, as always, to Dr. Barnard who continues to attempt to educate the public despite it's lack of respect and appreciation. I, for one, truly appreciate all of his great honest work and dedication to the truth and facts along with the rest of the plant-based community.
I would love to see some presentations and research on palm fruit and coconut oil give their highly saturated fat profiles (about 80% saturated, more than butter). I am seeing palm fruit and coconut oil showing up in many plant based foods and glorified as healthy. I, personally, refrain but would love to see some supporting science. Thanks again Dr. B.
I recommend watching on TH-cam "40 Year Vegan Dies of a Heart Attack! Why? The Omega-3 and B12 Myth with Dr. Michael Greger" it discusses on coconut and palm oils, very good video overall
Question on good studies. In the beginning you mentioned a small sample size is not good. And then you use a study with n = 20 to show how cholesterol rises. That seems like the studies say what you like with n=20 are the other ones are fake...
He didn't say it's completely invalid. He said if all the studies show a slight increase even if the p-value is beyond threshold. It's likely to not be coincidence.

Keep up the good work..people are changing 4 the better.
You’re losing weight because the body consumes its own muscle on a vegan diet. Pretty soon after all the muscle is gone you’ll get nervousness, then it will get so bad you’ll need to eat meat. I ate sardines after being vegan for a year and immediately my entire body calmed down. You need to cut pufa and pretty much all sugar out of the diet, as well as aninutrients and toxins which are found in most plant “foods”.
The vegan diet is a starvation diet. It will destroy your brain or kill you.

Low carb diets, high in fat low in common sense
Just got my blood work LDL was high at 202 but my trigs was 44 and HDL was 70 …. Not sure what to think….
I wish Dr. Barnard would demarcate the difference between 'cholesterol' the molecule from dyslipidemia markers. Cholesterol might be just another weak antioxidant just like Vitamin C that turns prooxidant when exposed to iron - the issue is free iron, not Vitamin C in that case, just like triglycerides in this case and not cholesterol itself. Just like that, triglycerides are what prooxidises cholesterol. Also, I cannot find studies relating cholesterol with atherosclerosis since it is carried in 'chylomicrons' found in the portal vein only and not dyslipidemia markers(VLDL, LDL, ILD) that are found althroughout the circulation. I find it a confounder in the terminology since they are correlated by having the same carrier apoproteins, but not the same molecular effect since I've never heard atherosclerosis of the portal vein where chylomicrons are only found. I've seen some NASH(NAFLD) cases, but NASH is due to high sugar>triglyceride consumption, not cholesterol.
Also, I think cholesterol helps in the formation of growth hormone receptors which might be two pronged: high fat causes leptin and insulin insensitivity causing growth inducing effects and blocking cholesterol causes an indirect diabetic control by blocking new insulin receptor formation and returning insulin sensitivity by reducing high insulinergic effects, just like in acromegalic high GH patients having diabetic insulin dysregulation.

Congratulations! You have made the right choice!
What is that clanging sound?
Also... Cholesterol when you eat eggs goes up temporarily and pulls cholesterol you used to repair vessels out.. Making serum cholesterol rise until the liver processes it. Whereas if you eat high carb all the time the lack of cholesterol causes the blood cholesterol to oxidize and damage tissue and cause inflamation and eventual plaque and clotting.

Keto was probably a better diet than whatever you were eating before. You’re comparing keto to YOUR previous diet, not Keto to a Whole Foods plant based diet. Cholesterol drops even lower in a Whole Foods plant based diet. There’s published case studies of patients dropping A1c to 4.5 on plant based diets, so yours could be lower.

Not to say that we can't find good things, but even just reading the abstract and seeing what these foods were compared to will open our eyes. Don't just read random articles online and base your life on that--really dig. So many articles I have read don't even list the studies, because they've been read, re-read, and portrayed how we want them to be.

"Cholesterol is not a nutrient of consumption for overconcern." Fascinating!
Although you have the wording backwards, that was the initial conclusion of the 2015 FDA panel based on one very small meta-analysis in which 11 of the 12 studies were funded by cholesterol-producing companies/interests (Egg Boards, fisheries). Then scientists complained and it was changed to eat as little as possible because the better research shows diabetes and heart disease ramping up with higher egg consumption.
