I never fully understood this, but my grandmother had scarlet fever as a child, 100+ years ago, and she was treated with a diet of organ meats, primarily liver, which she was given to eat raw. She continued to eat liver all her life, nearly raw. She lived to be 104 years and died of the flu. I now eat the way she ate. :) I love you always, Granny.
@@halfbreed4life62 can u explain more about how this conditions affects you? One doctor speculated I might have it, but I never met anyone else who did and am curious about ur experience w it
My one purebred Shepherd had allergies. Doctors could not help. Tried everything even skin testing on my dog, with injections. I changed the Vet and started cooking for my dogs. Allergies went away. I had to contact a butchers for heart livers etc. to add to his homemade stew along with one sardine once a week! Improvement was 100%
My mother who grew up as a peasant subsistence farmer in the old country made the most amazing clear chicken soup. In the U.S., she always included the packet found in the chicken cavity which included the neck, gizzards and heart. It was always a treat when I found the chicken heart in my bowl of soup.
My grandma did the same thing with us as children except she made the soup with grandpa. My sister got the heart but it was surprisingly small. Do they shrink when you cook them? I didn’t really like the meat so much because I was a kid I would just eat the noodles. After watching this video I really wish I had not tossed out the meat part.
50+years ago, in medical school, we were taught, that for some patients, proper nourishment is the most effective treatment. 45 years ago, we came to America, and were told to eat eat cereal and to avoid real food, because it would cause high cholesterol.

Taurine is excellent at preventing muscle spasms and cramps. That's why I supplement it. My muscles get tight after weight training and the taurine helps to significantly mitigate that.
I can vouch gor how good taurine is in preventing leg cramps. For years I tried everything to stop night leg cramps. I had loads of magnesium and potassium already with no effect. My physical therapist told me his sports clients were having success with just one gram of taurine per day. Ever since I started taking it. I haven't had cramps! Whole Foods or probably any health food store had plain taurine, free form amino acid capsules for a reasonable price. You don't need all the other stuff in the sports drinks that might contain taurine.
I took 900grames of Tourine not knowing that it affects asthmatics badly, your a good ambassador for common sense, would you be able to add this advice into one of your blogs. It completely closed my lungs and I had to have an injectable anti inflammatory and injectable anti histamine. None of the bloggers gave that advice out. My own fault, it is on the internet to avoid if your an allergic asthmatic. Keep up the good work….
I was on large amounts of antibiotics around 9 years ago. Over the next few years I became a literal zombie. My body stopped working correctly, I was toe walking, I couldn't concentrate, I felt lousy. I went on a naturopathic autism supplementation plan, which included Taurine powder and I slowly got back to around 95% of normal. That plan includes 1/6 a teaspoon (TAD) of Taurine every morning and every night. The antibiotics did permanent damage to my gut microbiome so if I stop taking the Taurine I start to get mentally confused within a couple of days and it keeps going downhill from there. BUT... no amount of heart, liver, etc would supply the amount of Taurine daily that I need. BTW... if you buy the Taurine supplement, make sure it is a powdery form and not a cyrstaline-ish powder form from certain bulk vendors. Your kidneys don't like crystals (eg: sugar, crystalline Taurine, etc.) because they have sharp edges that damage the delicate filtration system in the kidneys.
When you said eat chicken heart, my stomach turned.....I went to HEB, and bought chicken hearts, boiled them, and cut up 3 of them, and put it in my canned chicken , and canned beans stew that I simmer on slow heat....I love the taste of them, thank you for getting me to eat chicken hearts, they taste yummy !!! I shall eat these daily from now on !!!
Dr. Berry could you make a video about the use of taurine to treat menopause symptoms? Thank you so much for your hard work and for sharing your knowledge.
I'm glad you mentioned it's an essential acid... as I cook my eggs with coconut oil as I know they help with keytones but I was sick as a child which created epilepsy so I'll look to see if it will calm down my CNS. Though the two meds I take now are more helpful than the one in 1974 as well as the VNS which I've had for 20 years My thanks for your knowledge!
Good encouragement,Doc. 🤠 I needed this to help me divorce my carb habit for good. Im five years post-rectal cancer that left me tagged & bagged, with hernia to boot. The less carbs I eat, including veggies, the better I feel and it makes my ostomy-maint much easier.✌
A lot of people seem to shy away from the meat content in sausages of various types. I know they're "throw away" meat, and often contain things like lips, heart, etc. even some cartilage or bone unfortunately sometimes. But those bits do have redeeming value dietarily. Eggs & dairy are really hard to beat too. Many years ago, there was a guy who ran a 5k marathon at the age of 105. The news interviewed him, and asked him jokingly what he eats. He said "hot dogs". This was during the "fat is scary" dietary craze, when everyone was eating margarine. Anyway, the reporter laughed, thinking it was a joke. But the guy's wife was there as well. He robbed the cradle, as she was only 80 or so. Anyway, she interjected "oh no, he's not joking! He only eats hotdogs for dinner".
Good point - less palatable 'offel' meats can be very tasty when treated as sausages and cured, but also noting that they tend to be meats that are usually well cooked and difficult to consume undercooked, which will obviously reduce the taurine content. You would really have to trust your butcher to eat a 'rare' sausage.
One very tasty meat that has a lot of that stuff is called SCRAPPLE. It tastes great, but it's very hard to properly cook. You need to make it into slices, but it's very hard for them to not fall apart.
Meat is a major dietary source of taurine for humans. A 3-oz. beef steak would provide 55 mg taurine, which would meet about 70% of daily taurine requirement by healthy adults. Because plants contain no taurine, abundant amounts of taurine from all kinds of meats demonstrate another important contribution that animal foods make to improving human health and well-being. It also further underscores the significance and importance of animal agriculture worldwide.
No need to demonstrate anything to anyone ! Nature says it all: 100% bioavailability to us means only one thing : animal form ! Btw, I thought eggs contained the most Taurine... well... pastured eggs I mean. ;)
@@aliendroneservices6621 I sure do eat a variety of fish, when in season, other organs/tissues (brain, tongue, bone marrow, suet etc.) some chicken and turkey and some cheese, too. But I don't eat them to get taurine.
Taurine is essential for cats and the cat food manufacturers some years ago neglected its importance it in canned food, thousands of cats died before the problem was addressed. We have four cats and they eat an egg a day. So not too big a stretch to extrapolate that to humans.
I've read that the most Taurine you can get from top-source foods is 400mg per day. Many medical talks on Taurine suggest 6000mg per day....hence supplements only.
No, this is the worst of the Taurine videos. The natural and artificial versions of Taurine are chemically identical. I won't add this one to my fountain of youth playlist, because he is knocking on the supplement form.
That's how I get my organ meat consumption. I cut a 1" wide slice and slice in quarters and just eat it like a snack. My wegmans has this brand: Josef’s Artisan Meats Fine Smoked Liverwurst Very tasty.
Thank you Dr. Berry. Your advise on consumption of taurine is so practical. You have helped many of us watching your program could have lived a very healthy lifestyle and we appreciate it. Thank you.
I’m currently listening to you, I’m covid positive and pneumonia with low oxygen and high blood sugar of over 300. I have immediately changed by diet to keto and five days I’m below 160. I’m very sick and have oxygen 24 hrs . I take remdasivir at the hospital.
@@TheEnigmaticDeenTruth that is where it was first identified - precisely why it's named after Taurus! Literally all over the place, and we find it in bulls' balls first...sometimes I wonder about humans.
I find most of my friends who caution me against consuming eggs due to high cholesterol levels are from the medical profession. It amazes me how they won’t look at new alternative studies.
"... if you're currently someone who can only eat your steak well done, you need to work on that" I nearly spit out my drink laughing. I love you Dr. Berry!! Preach it Brother!!
I was not aware of the importance of taurine for us humans Dr. Berry. Thank you for enlightening me about the human need also sir... But I foster cats and kittens for a couple local animal shelters and also fostered for a 501(c)3 rescue group so for many years I have been aware that a deficiency of taurine can cause eye problems, heart problems, or structural problems with the bones and joints. So I'm always checking labels on any cat/kitten food that I buy or that is donated to me to be sure that pregnant or nursing mom and her offspring are not being offered a diet deficient in taurine...
Don't feed your cats or kittens industrial cat food. It's mostly soy or other crap. Cats need proper meat and you will find that chicken and sardines are often cheaper than packaged cat food. Your cats don't need to thank me this advice is free 😺😺
Yes, Taurine is essential for cats. Felines are “obligated carnivores.” They need to eat biological species appropriate food and not manufactured pet food. Yes, cats will live but they do not thrive on food that has little nutritional value for them. Cats require meat and organ meats..preferably RAW. If cats are fed biological species appropriate food, then they do not require taurine supplements.
I've been eating beef heart for a while now and honestly it taste amazing. I'm Carnivore myself so some advice for those that want to try and mix it up with different meats, beef heart is definitely worth the try!
I love beef heart. I can eat that almost every day. I called it dinosaur steak for my kids so they would eat it, they loved it too. It has a rich taste, not wild or gamey. We've always fry it in butter, salt. Firm chew without being chewy or tough..unless you cook it too long.
@@autumnfeldpausch5539 Me also Beef heart is so good. Just learned to like it growing up.when we butchered we would have fresh heart and liver at least once a week. People are not healthy these days because of what they are eating. I make sure I and my family get it either supplement form or fresh through my butcher. I'm 75 and take no meds nor do I have a doctor that I regularly see. I'm Feeling like I did when I was a kid at home. I'm gonna live to be 120 anyways.
@@RogueCylon sorry it took so long replieing to you. But beefheart taste very good. My mom used to cut it into strips much like finger sized chicken tenders roll it in flour salt and pepper and fried in lard or Bacon grease until it was crispy on the out side. That's the only way I know to do it but it's so darn good.
Thank you for this information Dr. Berry. I have a bacterial infection called "klebsiella aerogenes" which is linked to severe taurine (amino acid) deficiency. The infection is highly resistant to antibiotics. I cut back on animal product in place of legumes a while ago but will try to incorporate more quality organic animal sources that you have listed.
Hi Randi, you may want to look into GSE (grapefruit seed extract, not grape seed extract- they’re different things). GSE is a wide spectrum antibacterial, anti fungus, anti viral, any yeast etc. it can be taken internally to treat all sorts of GI issues/infections etc. I personally have been using it for years for flu and other things. I also had a few GI track advanced testing done including GI360 which is considered to be the most comprehensive test available today. Whenever they find anything they test bacteria/viruses to different drugs (commercial antibiotics etc) and natural options - GSE almost always comes on top as the most effective! There’s a paper called “Antibacterial Mode of Action of Grapefruit Seed Extract against Local Isolates of Beta-Lactamases-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and its Potential Application”. Google it. I know it’s a different type of klebsiella, but I’m pretty sure the results would be somewhat similar. Give it a go. Don’t trust the doctors and all their “antibiotic resistant”, “incurable” or any other bs they like to parrot. The only reason it’s “resistant” or “hard to treat” is because they haven’t come up with a pill they could patent to make money. There are plenty of other options available to treat the issue but they won’t ever tell you because it doesn’t bring moneys to their pockets.
Keep in mind things may get worse before it gets better. Sometimes people have flu type symptoms or stomach upset etc after starting taking GSE or similar supplements. The bad ‘bugs’ start dying off, they rebel or cause die off toxicity or something like that, so keep this in mind, reduce the dosage and increase slowly.
I never thought about the way i eat, I have simply always ate what my body told me to eat. Ironically, I have been eating all of these food almost exclusively. I never liked plants, could never fathom being a vegan, and I didnt realize it at the time but I guess I live a carnivore diet lifestyle. I am 50 years old now and I still snowboard, sk8board and look like I might be 35 years old when I shave and clean up lol. I normally outwork most of my workmates and besides my teeth which I am slowly killing with coffee, I feel great. No disease, no health problems, and no sickness and I havent been to a doctor for longer than I can remember, no need. I also never vaxxed, and never will. I found out this also makes my blood some of the most valuable blood out there as I am a unvaxxed type O neg being. pretty cool watching vids like confirming I have been living life and eating the correct way for ever now. thanks for the content, I gave it a thumbs up
I have felt awful for years just started supplementing Taurine and I feel tons better. So supplements aren't all bad. Just gotta make sure it's a reputable company.
You can get some powder and supplement it. We don't even get fresh kills so it's probably a good idea to supplement taurine: 2g - 6g per day. You can break it up some too.
I heard a study was completed in June 2023 which suggested 500mg-3gm per day being a safe and essential dosage, hope you can find and review if it is worth our attention. Thanks Dr. Berry!
TAURINE is an essential amino acid for DOGS, but it is very rare to find it even in premium dog foods. Raw freeze dried turkey hearts are the best source for dogs. Unfortunately, American commercial production causes MOST POULTRY TO CARRY SALMONELLA, which is parthenogenic, at least in humans.
Shellfish have some of the highest taurine content, especially scallops. Whether you cook them or eat them raw, 100 grams of scallops can have up to 827 milligrams of taurine. Other good options include clams at 520 milligrams and mussels at up to 655 milligrams for the same portion.Jun 12, 2023
I am responding to Pond boy okay I was referring to Dairy only I eat at least 25 eggs a week and every clean meat available to man but thank you for the information. Keep taking in all that information like I have for the last year and lost 90 pounds now put back on 20 + in muscle take care
Keen to hear more about Taurine thx. Sleep benefits & support against Sodium Laurel Sulphate (SLS) molecule damage are why I've been supplementing with a gram a day for many years.
Great to know Taurine is in Brewers Yeast I just purchased some. Thanks for this valuable information. Cats must have Taurine otherwise they go blind. Any chance on a video for persons with low blood platelets. I get very confused on this matter. Thank You Dr. 🥰🤗🎆🌅
I have a cautionary story about shellfish....It also contains very high levels of mercury. My brother lived in an area where eating seafood was an everyday, almost every meal, occurrence. He seriously gave himself mercury poisoning. His levels were high enough to make him feel unwell. He had to convince his doctor to test him for that. Mercury poisoning is the reason why tuna fish is not recommended for children under the age of two and also not recommended for adults more than a couple of times per month. Personally, of this list of foods, I'd stick to eggs. Brewer's yeast would be okay in a smoothie I guess.
Sprats, sardines, anchovies, herring are low in mercury contamination epically wild caught from north Atlantic or Pacific. From Korea or Japan. But they still have mercury. Twice or three times a week.

I recommend to drink Monster sugar free energy drinks.. each 500 ml can contains 1000mg of Taurine, 80 mg caffeine, guarana, L-cartein and panax ginseng extract. Costing only 1-2 € depending of the country. Comes much cheaper than supplement jars..
I’ve sure heard of Taurine ! Cats cannot live without Taurine. I had afib and researched what to do about it. I used Taurine and potassium and magnesium to heal my heart.And yes they were supplements because I did not feel like eating enough food to do what I needed to do and that right quick. I can never eat anything with its blood because I try to always stay kosher.
Meat from the grocery store doesn't have blood in it, at least in the US. All animals are drained of blood when slaughtered, because the blood spoils quickly. The red liquid you see coming out of beef is not blood. It's the myoglobin, the liquid inside of muscle cells that makes the muscle look red.
I started drinking an energy drink with taurine in it, and noticed my sense of smell started coming back. It's been 95% gone since I had the flu in 1985! I'm a vegetarian for over 30 years and haven't been eating eggs so to prevent a brain cholesterol problem in my arteries from getting worse. I know the brain has tons of cholesterol, but I'm spooked. Anyway, I'm clearly one of those individuals who need taurine. The drink also has caffeine and vitamins, but I have those in my diet already. So it must be the taurine making the difference.
The natural and artificial versions of Taurine are chemically identical, but I still try to get it from meat and foods as much as I can. The supplement just isn't available in stores. It seems Red Bull will give you the highest amount of Taurine for the smallest amount of caffeine.
Does it also contain Zinc? The senses if smell and taste are partially controlled by a Zinc- based metalloenzyme( CaV6) ; Carbonic Anhydrase V6. One of the reasons "loss of smell/taste" is a COVID symptom is that most of the Zinc in your body is used up to fight the infection initially. Google it!😁
Yes, eat the seaweed like a fish. Life evolved from the sea, and this is Nature's way of telling Vegans they have failed, and need to do evolution all over again.
Taurine is synthesised naturally by the liver. Vegan women manage to produce the highest source of taurine found in a foodstuff without consuming any presynthesised taurine, and as a bonus wholefood vegans, on average, enjoy longer, healthier lives with a significant extention in healthy years life.
@@fredfredrickson5436 Thats a lie, and you produce it naturally until you get older, then you don't. Just because you produce it naturally doesn't mean higher levels don't help you. This is why they never fat in Japan and live such long lives. Vegans do not get Taurine.
My cat loves you for this info and now I’ve been sent to the corner 😂 Please do teach about temperature guidelines for best enzyme and vitamin retention soon and thank you for confirming that ‘Wind in his hair’ was safe for eating fresh buffalo liver....😉
I kind of wonder why “ethical” vegans think algae and fungi are vegan? In my opinion, at the very least, they should be considered as a gray area in their world. 🤔
@@RashidaBlake That is true. the more you think about it the wider the gray area becomes. I should ask my dogmatic vegetarian cousin who is always giving me a hard time for being keto
i like chinese approach to cooking - chop meat really finley and cook it fast on high heat . cow heart cooks this way in like a 1-2 minutes preserving much micronutrients and stays soft
High heat will cause formation of AGES in food. That's unhealthy, and using this method religiously will eventually stack this harmful components up to the point you can't eliminate all of them. This causes diseases, heart diseases, diabetes, kidney failure and more.
The video recommended that vegans might want to eat brewer's yeast, bugs or algae but failed to mention seaweed. Many common varieties of seaweed contain comparable amounts of taurine as meat and eggs.
Doctor Berry, have you ever tried raw milk? I'm asking because lately I've seen countless people figure out that they can tolerate and love raw milk and dairy but can't tolerate pasteurized dairy at all. I've been on a beef muscle meat and liver diet for a year now and have decided to experiment a bit with raw milk and for some reason it doesn't really mess with my what we call 'carb cravings'- I still do OMAD no problem and the milk is doing me nothing but wonders. Pasteurized milk would always give me stomach cramps if not worse things, but this 'superfood' is just making my life a lot better currently and as I mentioned, been hearing the exact same thing from a decent number of people lately. Would really appreciate if you could one day dig a bit deeper into this. Thanks!
I've been drinking 2 liters of raw milk for every day for 15 years. Never got sick once. Never even aged. Throw the water bottle away and get your h20 from raw milk. And really the water in our body and cows milk I believe is h2037.
@@el.don1975 Couldn't agree more friend! I've realised that I can live without water no problem by drinking raw milk instead. It actually hydrates me much more I've found.
I started having raw milk recently and it's great. I honestly don't think Lactose intolerance is a thing. I think it's intolerance to pasteurized milk because all the good stuff is destroyed, including the enzyme present in raw dairy that helps us digest lactose. If someone has a sensitivity to raw dairy the protein present must be A1 beta-casein and not the usually A2. Sorry for the rant lol. We have always consumed raw dairy and pasteurisation is recent and destroying our health.
Seaweed has Taurine in it and you can get different seaweed from the supermarket or where ever you live in the world to buy food from the shop. Put it in your salad etc.
To maintain sufficient taurine levels, eat plenty of fish, fresh meat, and organ meats that are not overcooked. But this is difficult for many people and so supplementation may be necessary. For more info, see numerous videos by Harry Serpanos.
Chicken liver Pate’ one cup bacon fat one cup cooked but not over cooked chicken liver one cup heavy cream salt and pepper a dash of cognac blend it and chill it and enjoy
Hello doctor ant thanks for the valuable information. Question, when I get a general health assessment with my doctor, is taurine listed in the result of the analysis? If so, what is the optimal/healthy amount of it in our bodies and how is it measured? Thanks!
Carnivore makes as little sense as vegan. Why limit your sources of nutrition. I don't eat mushrooms for taurine, I eat meat and dairy, but it is delicious and very nutritious.
@@Jeff.78 yeah, some people might have limitations that make it relevant like Mikaela Peterson. But to most it's just a bad diet for no reason. I dislike eating for political reasons, I much prefer eating rationally. Imho, people like dr. Ronda Patrick make a lot more sense than those who start with a truism like "meat is bad" or "only meat is good".
I eat meat, but is also very good to know all these more specific alternatives. Im looking foward to a time where it will be processed nutricious insects.

Good encouragement,Doc. 🤠 I needed this to help me divorce my carb habit for good. Im five years post-rectal cancer that left me tagged & bagged, with hernia to boot. The less carbs I eat, including veggies, the better I feel and it makes my ostomy-maint much easier.✌

A lot of people seem to shy away from the meat content in sausages of various types.
I know they're "throw away" meat, and often contain things like lips, heart, etc. even some cartilage or bone unfortunately sometimes.
But those bits do have redeeming value dietarily.
Eggs & dairy are really hard to beat too.
Many years ago, there was a guy who ran a 5k marathon at the age of 105. The news interviewed him, and asked him jokingly what he eats. He said "hot dogs". This was during the "fat is scary" dietary craze, when everyone was eating margarine. Anyway, the reporter laughed, thinking it was a joke. But the guy's wife was there as well. He robbed the cradle, as she was only 80 or so. Anyway, she interjected "oh no, he's not joking! He only eats hotdogs for dinner".
Good point - less palatable 'offel' meats can be very tasty when treated as sausages and cured, but also noting that they tend to be meats that are usually well cooked and difficult to consume undercooked, which will obviously reduce the taurine content. You would really have to trust your butcher to eat a 'rare' sausage.
One very tasty meat that has a lot of that stuff is called SCRAPPLE. It tastes great, but it's very hard to properly cook. You need to make it into slices, but it's very hard for them to not fall apart.
@@ralphprice7365 That's a good point.
@@EmeraldEyesEsoteric hmm, haven't heard of scrapple. I'll have to look into it.
Betty White also ate hotdogs every day. She lived to be 99 years old.

Meat is a major dietary source of taurine for humans. A 3-oz. beef steak would provide 55 mg taurine, which would meet about 70% of daily taurine requirement by healthy adults. Because plants contain no taurine, abundant amounts of taurine from all kinds of meats demonstrate another important contribution that animal foods make to improving human health and well-being. It also further underscores the significance and importance of animal agriculture worldwide.
No need to demonstrate anything to anyone ! Nature says it all: 100% bioavailability to us means only one thing : animal form !
Btw, I thought eggs contained the most Taurine...
well... pastured eggs I mean.
;)
Not really, taurine is destroyed by cooking
@@MasterofPlay7 Is this the case? Resource?
@@michaelmcclellanjr9831 Dr. Berry stated very clearly in THIS video that the more you cook something, the less taurine it will have.

@@aliendroneservices6621 I sure do eat a variety of fish, when in season, other organs/tissues (brain, tongue, bone marrow, suet etc.) some chicken and turkey and some cheese, too. But I don't eat them to get taurine.

Taurine is essential for cats and the cat food manufacturers some years ago neglected its importance it in canned food, thousands of cats died before the problem was addressed. We have four cats and they eat an egg a day.
So not too big a stretch to extrapolate that to humans.
I've read that the most Taurine you can get from top-source foods is 400mg per day. Many medical talks on Taurine suggest 6000mg per day....hence supplements only.
Thanks. Can you share the studies that recommend 6000mg?
Bless you Dr B 💚
This is so helpful and I’m three years late hearing it on here
Having seen a lot many videos on TH-cam on Taurine I found that this one makes a great amount of practical sense. Thank you so much Dr.
Same here. Best video on that so far
No, this is the worst of the Taurine videos. The natural and artificial versions of Taurine are chemically identical. I won't add this one to my fountain of youth playlist, because he is knocking on the supplement form.
Thanks so much for telling us what few will say.
Keep telling us. Thanks for showing us what a doc could do.😊
What about liverwurst? I love liver and onions with bacon, my mom made it once a week when I was growing up 👍
That's how I get my organ meat consumption. I cut a 1" wide slice and slice in quarters and just eat it like a snack. My wegmans has this brand: Josef’s Artisan Meats Fine Smoked Liverwurst Very tasty.
great video...thanks
Thank you again from Romania , Dr. Berry !
I've been taking supplements such as Taurine since 1990 or so, but am focusing on taurine more after hearing its multiple influences in the body.😆👍🏼👍🏼

I nearly spit out my drink laughing. I love you Dr. Berry!! Preach it Brother!!
I was not aware of the importance of taurine for us humans Dr. Berry. Thank you for enlightening me about the human need also sir...
But I foster cats and kittens for a couple local animal shelters and also fostered for a 501(c)3 rescue group so for many years I have been aware that a deficiency of taurine can cause eye problems, heart problems, or structural problems with the bones and joints. So I'm always checking labels on any cat/kitten food that I buy or that is donated to me to be sure that pregnant or nursing mom and her offspring are not being offered a diet deficient in taurine...
Don't feed your cats or kittens industrial cat food. It's mostly soy or other crap. Cats need proper meat and you will find that chicken and sardines are often cheaper than packaged cat food. Your cats don't need to thank me this advice is free 😺😺
@@catmate8358, Just to add that because cats are carnivores, to skip the kibble.
I have heard of taurine, because it’s essential for cats.
Yes, Taurine is essential for cats. Felines are “obligated carnivores.” They need to eat biological species appropriate food and not manufactured pet food. Yes, cats will live but they do not thrive on food that has little nutritional value for them. Cats require meat and organ meats..preferably RAW. If cats are fed biological species appropriate food, then they do not require taurine supplements.
And dogs. Food lacking taurine causes cardiomyopathy in dogs
@@fragmented_cultures ... My cat absolutely loves raw hamburger and so do i :)
Must be why cats are obligate carnivores.

Thankyou very good .
I've been eating beef heart for a while now and honestly it taste amazing. I'm Carnivore myself so some advice for those that want to try and mix it up with different meats, beef heart is definitely worth the try!
What does heart taste like? How do you cook yours?
I love beef heart. I can eat that almost every day. I called it dinosaur steak for my kids so they would eat it, they loved it too. It has a rich taste, not wild or gamey. We've always fry it in butter, salt. Firm chew without being chewy or tough..unless you cook it too long.
@@RogueCylon I responded to you question..forgot to "tag" you when I did..just read my prior reply
@@autumnfeldpausch5539 Me also Beef heart is so good. Just learned to like it growing up.when we butchered we would have fresh heart and liver at least once a week. People are not healthy these days because of what they are eating. I make sure I and my family get it either supplement form or fresh through my butcher. I'm 75 and take no meds nor do I have a doctor that I regularly see. I'm Feeling like I did when I was a kid at home. I'm gonna live to be 120 anyways.
@@RogueCylon sorry it took so long replieing to you. But beefheart taste very good. My mom used to cut it into strips much like finger sized chicken tenders roll it in flour salt and pepper and fried in lard or Bacon grease until it was crispy on the out side. That's the only way I know to do it but it's so darn good.
YES . i have thought about that a lot .!!!!HEATIN FOOD KNOC down the nutrition in food
Thank you for this information Dr. Berry. I have a bacterial infection called "klebsiella aerogenes" which is linked to severe taurine (amino acid) deficiency. The infection is highly resistant to antibiotics. I cut back on animal product in place of legumes a while ago but will try to incorporate more quality organic animal sources that you have listed.
Hi Randi, you may want to look into GSE (grapefruit seed extract, not grape seed extract- they’re different things). GSE is a wide spectrum antibacterial, anti fungus, anti viral, any yeast etc. it can be taken internally to treat all sorts of GI issues/infections etc. I personally have been using it for years for flu and other things. I also had a few GI track advanced testing done including GI360 which is considered to be the most comprehensive test available today. Whenever they find anything they test bacteria/viruses to different drugs (commercial antibiotics etc) and natural options - GSE almost always comes on top as the most effective! There’s a paper called “Antibacterial Mode of Action of Grapefruit Seed Extract against Local Isolates of Beta-Lactamases-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and its Potential Application”. Google it. I know it’s a different type of klebsiella, but I’m pretty sure the results would be somewhat similar. Give it a go. Don’t trust the doctors and all their “antibiotic resistant”, “incurable” or any other bs they like to parrot. The only reason it’s “resistant” or “hard to treat” is because they haven’t come up with a pill they could patent to make money. There are plenty of other options available to treat the issue but they won’t ever tell you because it doesn’t bring moneys to their pockets.
Keep in mind things may get worse before it gets better. Sometimes people have flu type symptoms or stomach upset etc after starting taking GSE or similar supplements. The bad ‘bugs’ start dying off, they rebel or cause die off toxicity or something like that, so keep this in mind, reduce the dosage and increase slowly.
Try supplements don't be one of the people who contribute to the suffering to animals. The legumes comment made me think you took that positive step
I never thought about the way i eat, I have simply always ate what my body told me to eat. Ironically, I have been eating all of these food almost exclusively. I never liked plants, could never fathom being a vegan, and I didnt realize it at the time but I guess I live a carnivore diet lifestyle. I am 50 years old now and I still snowboard, sk8board and look like I might be 35 years old when I shave and clean up lol. I normally outwork most of my workmates and besides my teeth which I am slowly killing with coffee, I feel great. No disease, no health problems, and no sickness and I havent been to a doctor for longer than I can remember, no need. I also never vaxxed, and never will. I found out this also makes my blood some of the most valuable blood out there as I am a unvaxxed type O neg being. pretty cool watching vids like confirming I have been living life and eating the correct way for ever now. thanks for the content, I gave it a thumbs up
Thanks Doc as usual very helpful
I have felt awful for years just started supplementing Taurine and I feel tons better. So supplements aren't all bad. Just gotta make sure it's a reputable company.
Thank you Dr. Berry for this information! Looking forward to more!
You can get some powder and supplement it. We don't even get fresh kills so it's probably a good idea to supplement taurine: 2g - 6g per day. You can break it up some too.
I heard a study was completed in June 2023 which suggested 500mg-3gm per day being a safe and essential dosage, hope you can find and review if it is worth our attention. Thanks Dr. Berry!
TAURINE is an essential amino acid for DOGS, but it is very rare to find it even in premium dog foods.
Raw freeze dried turkey hearts are the best source for dogs.
Unfortunately, American commercial production causes MOST POULTRY TO CARRY SALMONELLA, which is parthenogenic, at least in humans.
Shellfish have some of the highest taurine content, especially scallops. Whether you cook them or eat them raw, 100 grams of scallops can have up to 827 milligrams of taurine. Other good options include clams at 520 milligrams and mussels at up to 655 milligrams for the same portion.Jun 12, 2023

I have a cautionary story about shellfish....It also contains very high levels of mercury. My brother lived in an area where eating seafood was an everyday, almost every meal, occurrence. He seriously gave himself mercury poisoning. His levels were high enough to make him feel unwell. He had to convince his doctor to test him for that. Mercury poisoning is the reason why tuna fish is not recommended for children under the age of two and also not recommended for adults more than a couple of times per month. Personally, of this list of foods, I'd stick to eggs. Brewer's yeast would be okay in a smoothie I guess.
Sprats, sardines, anchovies, herring are low in mercury contamination epically wild caught from north Atlantic or Pacific. From Korea or Japan. But they still have mercury. Twice or three times a week.

I recommend to drink Monster sugar free energy drinks.. each 500 ml can contains 1000mg of Taurine, 80 mg caffeine, guarana, L-cartein and panax ginseng extract. Costing only 1-2 € depending of the country. Comes much cheaper than supplement jars..
artificial sweeteners can also cause harm, though
I’ve sure heard of Taurine ! Cats cannot live without Taurine. I had afib and researched what to do about it. I used Taurine and potassium and magnesium to heal my heart.And yes they were supplements because I did not feel like eating enough food to do what I needed to do and that right quick. I can never eat anything with its blood because I try to always stay kosher.
did it work?
Meat from the grocery store doesn't have blood in it, at least in the US. All animals are drained of blood when slaughtered, because the blood spoils quickly. The red liquid you see coming out of beef is not blood. It's the myoglobin, the liquid inside of muscle cells that makes the muscle look red.
Red Bull 😮
Thanks Again Ken Berry. Good to know!
I started drinking an energy drink with taurine in it, and noticed my sense of smell started coming back. It's been 95% gone since I had the flu in 1985! I'm a vegetarian for over 30 years and haven't been eating eggs so to prevent a brain cholesterol problem in my arteries from getting worse. I know the brain has tons of cholesterol, but I'm spooked. Anyway, I'm clearly one of those individuals who need taurine. The drink also has caffeine and vitamins, but I have those in my diet already. So it must be the taurine making the difference.
Do you drink this energy drink that contains taurine eveyday? I'd like to try on that later. My only fear is, it might make me unable to sleep.
@@sootuckchoong7077 Just buy taurine supplements. Unless you want to stay awake.
The natural and artificial versions of Taurine are chemically identical, but I still try to get it from meat and foods as much as I can. The supplement just isn't available in stores. It seems Red Bull will give you the highest amount of Taurine for the smallest amount of caffeine.
Does it also contain Zinc? The senses if smell and taste are partially controlled by a Zinc- based metalloenzyme( CaV6) ; Carbonic Anhydrase V6.
One of the reasons "loss of smell/taste" is a COVID symptom is that most of the Zinc in your body is used up to fight the infection initially. Google it!😁
You should try creatine too, gonna make your concentration go full speed
Really interesting post. Thank you.
FYI for vegans, seaweed is a decent source of taurine as well. One sheet of nori has about 40 mgs.
Yes, eat the seaweed like a fish. Life evolved from the sea, and this is Nature's way of telling Vegans they have failed, and need to do evolution all over again.
Taurine is synthesised naturally by the liver. Vegan women manage to produce the highest source of taurine found in a foodstuff without consuming any presynthesised taurine, and as a bonus wholefood vegans, on average, enjoy longer, healthier lives with a significant extention in healthy years life.
@@fredfredrickson5436 Thats a lie, and you produce it naturally until you get older, then you don't. Just because you produce it naturally doesn't mean higher levels don't help you. This is why they never fat in Japan and live such long lives. Vegans do not get Taurine.

Very good info
i like chinese approach to cooking - chop meat really finley and cook it fast on high heat . cow heart cooks this way in like a 1-2 minutes preserving much micronutrients and stays soft
Obi Wan, the Force be with you.
High heat will cause formation of AGES in food. That's unhealthy, and using this method religiously will eventually stack this harmful components up to the point you can't eliminate all of them. This causes diseases, heart diseases, diabetes, kidney failure and more.
Such great info!!!!!
Pls make more video about Carnitine, Carnosine and creatine too!
Love this insightful video
The video recommended that vegans might want to eat brewer's yeast, bugs or algae but failed to mention seaweed. Many common varieties of seaweed contain comparable amounts of taurine as meat and eggs.

Doctor Berry, have you ever tried raw milk? I'm asking because lately I've seen countless people figure out that they can tolerate and love raw milk and dairy but can't tolerate pasteurized dairy at all. I've been on a beef muscle meat and liver diet for a year now and have decided to experiment a bit with raw milk and for some reason it doesn't really mess with my what we call 'carb cravings'- I still do OMAD no problem and the milk is doing me nothing but wonders. Pasteurized milk would always give me stomach cramps if not worse things, but this 'superfood' is just making my life a lot better currently and as I mentioned, been hearing the exact same thing from a decent number of people lately. Would really appreciate if you could one day dig a bit deeper into this. Thanks!
I've been drinking 2 liters of raw milk for every day for 15 years. Never got sick once. Never even aged. Throw the water bottle away and get your h20 from raw milk. And really the water in our body and cows milk I believe is h2037.
@@el.don1975 Couldn't agree more friend! I've realised that I can live without water no problem by drinking raw milk instead. It actually hydrates me much more I've found.
I started having raw milk recently and it's great. I honestly don't think Lactose intolerance is a thing. I think it's intolerance to pasteurized milk because all the good stuff is destroyed, including the enzyme present in raw dairy that helps us digest lactose. If someone has a sensitivity to raw dairy the protein present must be A1 beta-casein and not the usually A2. Sorry for the rant lol. We have always consumed raw dairy and pasteurisation is recent and destroying our health.
Raw dairy is anti-inflammatory and pasteurized milk is inflammatory.
I am one of those people. I cannot drink processed milk. The only milk I tolerate is raw.
Seaweed has Taurine in it and you can get different seaweed from the supermarket or where ever you live in the world to buy food from the shop. Put it in your salad etc.
To maintain sufficient taurine levels, eat plenty of fish, fresh meat, and organ meats that are not overcooked. But this is difficult for many people and so supplementation may be necessary. For more info, see numerous videos by Harry Serpanos.
LOVE Harry!
Great video. Very helpful.
