As a farmer, I can tell you that it is almost impossible for a combine harvester to kill mice. With almost all crops, soybeans being the exception, the header of the combine is well above the ground. When soybeans are harvested the header has sensors touching the ground which allow the header to "float" across the surface of the ground. Even then a mouse would have to give a big jump just at the right time in order to be gobbled up by a combine. I'm sure from the road driving by it looks like it is devouring everything in it's path, in reality it's not. Mowing hay on the other hand does kill quite a few mice. A hay mower moves much faster than a combine and is cutting extremely close to the ground. You can see clear evidence of this by the birds such as ravens and crows that pick the dead mice out of the windrows of freshly cut hay. I've never seen them picking dead mice out of a field that's just been harvested. I am a carnivore, however I don't think people promoting a carnivore diet should use bad arguments.
It’s interesting that Dr Mason used, a number of reliable data points such as behaviour and mouse populations to estimate the kill per hectare, but missed the operational mechanical function of the harvester itself. This is the sort of error jumped upon by plant based advocates to discredit animal consumption arguments and so should be avoided.
@@DutchCarnivore my enemies are weak, pay me hand over fist, and worship me for my overwhelming benevolence (ignoring that vainglory is hidden malicious intent)
My daughter refused to eat any plants since she went off breastmilk. I almost went crazy cause i didnt know what to feed her... She also hated every Type of bread. Back than i didnt know anything about a proper human diet. Now that I know better, I am very thankful that my daughter seemed to feel from day one whats good for her and what is Not.
Food pickiness is simply a developmental stage that has natural evolutionary value--despite your daughter's reaction, eating LOTS of whole plant foods is still healthiest. P.S. Lots of kids prefer candy--do you think that preference makes it healthy?
@@HealingLifeKwikly Where is the proof of that? Children know what does not support them, until eating what they don't like is pounded into them. Candy is NOT a natural food, so not a valid comparison
I am now nearly 75 years old and after being a vegan for at least 45 years I started to eat meat three years ago. From the very first bite I felt a different person. I just knew with that bite that I had starved myself for all those years. I had had so many digestive issues and body issues I was a mess for all those years. I thought I was also helping the planet but that is so not true. Thank you Dr Mason.
Amazing! That you survived so long on a vegan diet. What caused you to realize that your diet might be causing your poor health and start eating meat again? Do you feel better with some meat in your diet?
I am feeling great eating meat. It has changed my life. My daughter went to Canada (we live in Italy) as a vegetarian to study Holistic Nutrition and came back saying we have to eat meat. @@Jen.K
hey margaret, question for you, were you eating processed foods throughout your vegan diet? I'm just asking because I'm thinking about increasing my meat intake
Red meat & eggs and goat dairy can be farmed on grass/weeds/wooded areas without a college degree and processed by the customers themselves if they want to help & they'll be very healthy. This leaves out a lot of middlemen & bankers & the more you do for yourself the less taxable labor you do. So they demonize the foods you & neighbors can grow easily.
Yes! You need arable land to grow crops, but various ruminants can live off of most types of land. Chickens too. Of course, in my part of the world, the food mafia has passed regulations that make it illegal to slaughter animals, so regular people can't produce their own meat, they have to buy it. The dairy mafia is even worse, even if you own a dairy farm it's illegal to have your spouse who lives with you on the farm taste a single drop of the milk you produce, it must be sent to large processors before it's legal for consumption.
@@RobertHeaslipSounds like Australia. Very different now compared to the 1960s . Apparently UK is worse than Australia. You cannot live in a tent in the bush in Australia now. The poor will be offered soon Euthanasia if you get a sick Canada your will be offered euthanasia have no idea what’s happening to the world
Did you eat lentils? While vegan men easily achieve healthy lower ferritine (iron) levels, women need more iron since they lose blood every month until menopause.
After 3 years of a vegan diet back in 2012- 2014...I didn't know it then... But my teeth were becoming unhealthy and there were a few extractions within a short period of time not long after ridding myself of this way of eating. I did not have the CORRECT Knowledge!!! Thank you..."Low Carb Down Under"/Dr Paul Mason. Carnivore is now, my way of Nutrients. ps...Eggs are important in my eating also! Kindness.
The teeth thing is actually a common thing I've heard from a lot of ex-Vegans. You got out before the real damage happened. It only goes downhill the longer you're on it.
14 years of veganism for myself and my wife, still going strong, but we also have nutritional knowledge. Its sad that people don't spend more energy understanding nutrition. People are litterally disregarding the healthiest diet cause of their own ignorance.
At 62, I adopted a Keto lifestyle and, now, 2 years later. I feel better than I have in decades! I dropped 35 pounds easily and have maintained my new perfect weight for the last year. Thank-you, Dr. Paul Mason for showing me the way. 😊
Thanks for sharing your experience. I've come to the conclusion that all information comes with a bias and an agenda, whether its vegan, low fat, paleo, keto or carnivore. We are all different and the only authentic science, is the science we practice on ourselves. We have to experiment and find out what works best for our own body. I'm also 62 and recently started a ketovore diet after being predominantly plant based most of my life, and not particularly healthy as a consequence.
Paul Mason is a fantastic researcher and such a credible doctor. Common arguments against meat consumption are so ideologically driven and willfully manipulate data to support bias conclusions. CAFO production of meat is definitely bad for animals and the environment. We need to support regenerative ranchers. So much of the data is driven by global food producers who fund universities, research, and globalist organizations. Support your local farmers and distribution channels whenever you can. I will continue to eat a meat-centric diet and support my local farmers and markets and enjoy profound health benefits.
"A fantastic researcher and such a credible doctor" Really? He cites a systematic review on ldl-c levels and the link to mortality and then claims there is no credible evidence to suggest a link between ldl in general and risk of dying failing to make the distinction between ldl-c (amount of cholesterol in lipoproteins) and ldl-p (number of these lipoproteins in the blood) which is a way better and well-established marker for cardiovascular disease. Either he doesn't know how to interpret data or he is intentionally misleading. Eitherway that makes him very untrustworthy
@@zardi9083 watch more of his discussions or lectures and you will see that he goes into great depth into this distinctions. Maybe just not on this clip but he is (like all of us) way more than a single clip. He really is a well measured researcher.
None of these “doctors “ that are taking the beef industries dollar ever talk about long term studies. The really sad thing is that I don’t need to read more than a dozen or so comments to read anti vegan myths, BS science, misquoted studies, invented rubbish, irrelevant science. I am not a vegan, simply because following a really good vegan diet is tricky unless you do it as a family. The much easier to follow option is a WFPB diet with some dairy and fish added. Having had people stay with me on a carnivore diet, the stink they leave in the bathroom is absolutely disgusting. The health risks they are taking, just to fill a meat craving is up to them.
It’s not about money, “those” pushing the vegan agenda, and the other evil agendas own the money system. Is 100% about mental/will control. Vegans are easy to control, carnivores, no way. Why? Because of the brain chemistry through nourishment vs malnutrition…
Devastating Logic with total clarity. I'm so grateful to you Dr. Paul for making it, and I'm going to note and memorise your points in order to debunk the vegan illusion. After many years on an animal based diet, I've still been feeling a little guilty over the atavistic unevolved desire to eat meat. Critics Begone !!!!♥
Try to lose the guilt -- you are a member of a truly incredible species which simply would not exist without our hominid ancestors beginning to eat meat. That great grey brain of ours, relative to our gut-structures, would be impossible without it. So don't feel guilty -- it's your genetic inheritance as a member of _Homo sapiens sapiens._ If anything, look at the history of evolution - really look - and be proud that as a species, ours has beaten all the odds!
@@Loribynyou obviously haven't spent much time reading evolutionary biology books. Our brain development came through an increase in caloric intake via the harnessing of fire and cooking a wide variety of previously inaccessible foods (see raw tubers, beans, grains, and raw meat). Fire denatured the proteins and starches. Our brains are all thought to have grown via the advent of more complex tools and social interaction. The part that makes the naturalistic fallacy most nonsensical is that life expectancy was about 30 years for people of that era. There's no indication that eating like a cave man now promotes longevity and prevents disease. If one looks at the big killers (heart disease, cancer, and diabetes) these diseases are directly correlated with global populations that consume the highest volume of animal products
I remember a vegan was trying to prove her dog preferred veggies over meat, had set up an experiment by both next to each other on a table. When she introduced the dog, she couldn’t stop it from going straight for the meat. I am not sure if it was staged, but it was hilarious and obvious.
There are seriously many vegans out there who try to feed their cats a plant-only diet. I've even seen a few particularly insane ones consider building a giant fence in Africa to keep the herbivores on one side and the carnivore on the other side. They thought it would force the carnivores to go vegan and they'd be totally fine. When you're that disconnected from reality, there is a serious risk that you will harm your child even if you don't intend to.
@@jimmckay2337love that video😂 but it was probably staged because if it wasn't then she wouldn't have uploaded it As a side note, somewhere I read this week that turning animals vegan was recommended for....you know, climate change
It's their choices. As far as I'm concerned the bigger the diversity of choices the better. Thus we can figure out what choices lead to what consequences, so we may learn more about how to structure our lives.
A couple years ago when I submitted stool samples for myself and my dogs to "The American gut Project" I looked into how many different types of bacteria were in the guts of people eating various diets. The American Gut Project found that vegetarians had the lowest number of bacteria types. The more variety of bacteria you have in general the better you digest your food.
There are so many amazing doctors and researchers in the nutritional spaces these days but Dr. Paul Mason is my favorite. I will binge watch any content that he creates.
This presentation is superb. I don't know how vegans can rationalize the B12 deficiency. Crucial point Dr Mason makes, an adult person who goes vegan has a store of B12 in their liver that can last years. But eventually, the vegan diet is not sustainable because the B12 stored will run out.
They have a thing called supplements . The animals you eat are supplemented. It must work if farmers are doing it . Why would they waste their money if it didn't work ?
You do realize that supplements exist, right? Omnivorous diets also tend to have certain nutritional blind spots, which is why companies started fortifying things like milk, salt, and cereals. Doesn't mean the diet isn't viable.
Yeah must be why a top handful of athletes are vegan and not winning world titles. Must be why we all look older and live with shorter lives. Must be the fiber giving us high blood pressure. And the tofu giving us high cholesterol. I hope one day i get enlightenment 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you Doc, for speaking the truth about the environmental reality of raising livestock versus crop-agriculture. Anyone who's tried to produce their own food, on their own land large or small, knows just how dire the environmental emergency is -- and that the unmitigated lies about it never bloody stop! Some of us have been shouting it from the rooftops for years, decades and more, but it's fallen on deaf ears (and not without a lot of help doing so!). I sincerely hope you get more traction. And I hope everyone shares at least that part of the video with everyone they know.
"Thank you Doc, for speaking the truth about the environmental reality of raising livestock versus crop-agriculture." Dr, Mason is misleading people about what the science says about the issue. There is overwhelming scientific evidence that diets dominated by whole plant foods are not just vastly better for the planet, they are one of THE very most beneficial things people can do to reduce their ecological impacts and help restore biodiversity. You have to think globally and look at global data to understand this issue, and when you do, you can understand why global beef and mutton consumption must drop sharply to help us save Earth's ecosystems.
@@HealingLifeKwiklyWhat a load of bunk. Continue your slaughter of millions of small creatures with your vegan diet, 100's times over consumption of precious water with your crops and soil degradation from mono cropping. Not to forget the billions wasted on health care consuming one of the least nutritious diet there is. Do some reading of RCT's for a start.
7 grams of red meat a day!!!!? A regular chicken egg weighs about 67 grams. I try to eat at least a pound of red meat a day with its fat and butter. That's over 400 grams.
There are no traditional vegan diets anywhere in the world; the vegan diet emerged in 20th-century western nations. Even the vegetarian diets of India include generous amounts of dairy, and sometimes eggs and fish.
Why are anti-vegan, pro-animal abuse people so willfully ignorant? Vitamin B12 is available cheap as a supplement and is fortified in many cereals and foods. Omega-3 fats are available in walnuts, flax seeds, chia seeds and hemp seeds and the human body converts the ALA to DHA & EPA based on 'need'. You don't need to feed humans meat to get Omega 3 fats. Next, Creatine is made in our own bodies, we don't need it from food. Iron is in plenty of vegetables like broccoli, spinach, beans and whole grains. Iron is in most fortified foods. So, please, STOP trying to mislead people about a vegan diet.
Creatine is by favourite, it's involved in building androgen receptors and have increased fertility rates in people taking ovulation treatment. also installed 4 healing in rats. low carnitine in autistic etc
Note how both Creatine and L-carnitine are healthy nutrients found in animal foods, while Creatinine - associated with kidney problems - is a waste product formed when digesting animal products.
When I got pregnant with my daughter, I had been a vegetarian for 8 years, I took no supplements. I was extremely sick during the first few months of my pregnancy and blood tests showed that I was severely anemic and lacking in iron. I was put on various supplements and started eating meat again. Thankfully, my daughter was healthy, my ignorance didn't cause any damage to her, but now, ironically, she's in her 20's and heading towards veganism herself, currently, the only animal food she eats is eggs. For me, over the years, I started leaning back towards a mostly plant based diet, with minimal meat, and my health has suffered, partly as a consequence of this. For the last few months I've been mostly carnivore, in an attempt to save what remains of my health and life. I wish information like this had been available when I was younger.
I used to have a normal western diet and 5 Years ago was diagnosed with pernicious anaemia. I was tested for the antibodies (positive) and placed on 3 monthly injections of B12. 3 years ago I began a ketovore type diet and now no longer require the B12 injections.
I've tried keto, carni, vegan, just about all of them over 10yrs. I discovered my two biggest issues were candida and oxylates. The diet I've finally been succesful with is animal based (mostly hunted and fished) or 100% grass fed or local eggs, cheese, low oxylate, and gluton free. I'm not low carb, I eat some bananas, mango, butternut squash, and red skin potatoes. After 4 months of oxylate dumping and candida dieoff from implimenting daily kefir and throwing my whole system is a wirlwind, i finally feel better than I have in 10 yrs, gained 10lb of muscle in a month, and have energy to kill it in sales and get my strength back. My problem was never fat gain, has actually been weight loss, brain fog, and constipation. This took so much trial and error and research. Sally norton, elliot overton, ken berry,
As an acupuncture physician, I've told parents for many years not to force their children to eat vegetables because they are hard to digest. I used to say that we needed to focus on improving the health of the digestive system before they could approach vegetables. Now I tell them that vegetables are overrated, not necessary in the diet, and often cause digestive problems in otherwise healthy people.
I only eat meat and a little bit of fermented vegetables now, but back in the days my Chinese Medicine doctor recommended never eat raw vegetables and avoid green vegetables with curly leaves or curl into a ball.
"I've told parents for many years not to force their children to eat vegetables because they are hard to digest. I used to say that we needed to focus on improving the health of the digestive system before they could approach vegetables." As someone who teaches nutrition, those ideas have no basis in scientific reality. When you gradually (or rapidly) increase the amount of whole plant foods you eat, the types of bacteria in your gut shift over to ones that happily digest plant fiber and churn out short-chain fatty acids in return. All children should eat lots of fruits and vegetables.
@@HealingLifeKwikly And yet fruits were never a regular part of the human diet until we could cultivate fruit trees; even then, they were eaten seasonally. Prehistoric man could not can or preserve fruits. They knew to eat them to fatten up for winter since they had sugar, and they were useful in that regard, but nothing a baby would eat or anyone else in seasons where they weren't ripe and ready. And btw, breastmilk provides for the growth of the gut microbiome perfectly without the need for any fruits or vegetables, and babies used to nurse for years. Many still do, thank goodness.
Our stomachs have an enzyme called triphosphate glycinerase that converts the nutrients in most plant foods into the neurotoxin CHEBI:50910. It is therefore essential to insert nutrient-dense root foods such as carrots and sweet potatoes directly into the rectum, where the good bacteria break them down into highly bio-available vitamins and minerals.
Outstanding presentation and information as always from Dr Mason. When l first started my own low carb journey a few years ago l made some errors in my choice of which influencers to follow. But like any new project you learn as you go along and Dr Mason is one of a few l now go to for real science and expert understanding of how the body and its physiology actually work.
I really enjoy your talks! As a medical scientist, I very much appreciate that you share papers you are referring to. I wish this was more common. Thanks for doing such a great job presenting the information, and for your subtle wit 😊
He is a great speaker, but this was most the most enlightening talk I have heard in years!!!! I think the What the Health guy should be pilloried. I will admit I was a vegetarian/pescatarian for 2 years, but now ketovore for three years now and healthier than ever at 67 y/o and a retired physician.
Not really. It is all cherry picked information to support his own propaganda. I've heard of these arguments before. Yawn. I've been vegan for 8 years now and my health is perfect.
I'm mid 60s, I remember my primary school teacher talking about this when I was about 7 years. I was always surprised over the years that so few people knew this. I really enjoyed her class.
You'll be sorely disappointed I'm afraid. None of these arguments are compelling and have been debunked 100x over. Easy peasy to be healthy as a vegan.
Doing the calculation, 1 hectare is .405 of an acre (each acre produces about 75 bushels of wheat) ... so, .405 x 75 is 30 bushels of wheat per hectare. You can get 80 loaves of bread out of a bushel, so 80 x 30 = 2400 loaves (1-1.5lbs each) of bread per hectare of wheat. But Paul just said in a plague year over 80% of 3000 mice die (2,400) per hectare just from poisoning (probably a painful death... more so than chopping by the combine?). So, each loaf of bread costs the life of a rodent, each plague year... or every 4 years. So... shouldn't vegans have No Bread Mondays or something every 4 years? That's a lot of rodents.
The problem with his argument is that most of the crops that are grown and harvested in this way are not fed to humans. They're fed to animals. You don't think that cows ever step on rodents and accidentally kill them or bugs or whatever? Also the reality is that very few people eat a meat based diet... and if they did we'd quickly run out of land as it is the single largest use of land already. It's the single largest source of deforestation already. These mountains he thinks are perfect for grazing animals were once forests full of biodiversity which we're quickly losing.
I'm currently interested in the effects of vegetarian diets, and particularly grains, on the brain. I'm sure I'm not the only person who thinks that the world has gone crazy, totally irrational. Might this be because of the push towards seed oils and plant-based diets since the 1970s?
It was really seed oils and sugar pushed onto us from late 70's. Demonisation of animal fat led to "Fat free" everything, the food industry substituted fat with sugar. Healthy to deadly.
Spot on, I have been thinking this for a while, without wanting to sound conspiritational... with WHO and other agencies pushing this vegan way of eating, blanking out animal meats and now we see the slaughter of many red meat (and chicken) animals it really makes you wonder!
It's a little mean but I remember someone once posted a picture of him standing next to a little girl, and pointing out that the little girl had bigger arms than he does. In the meantime half the carnivore doctors are mostly made of huge muscle.
All of the older vegan advocates look very gaunt and appear to have advanced sarcopenia. None of them look like a role model for health: Greger, McDougall, Campbell, Esselstyn, etc.
Genetics are what you're observing, not the actual diet results on 'health'. A vegan diet has been shown to be more healthy for the heart and vascular system than an omnivore diet. I can show you vegan athletes who are just as muscular as any meat eating athletes. Comparing people who are of different genetics and saying the diet is the reason they look different is silly. Dr. Greger is a highly intelligent human being and if he scores higher on an IQ test than a omnivore, do we say it's the diet or genetic predisposition for inherited intelligence that may be the difference? People aren't born the same in nature. Some people hit the genetic lottery for either great outcomes or even poor outcomes. No one is perfect though. This is why diets are evaluated in the aggregate, not based on anecdotes.
Thank you - some of the best information Ive heard in a LONG time. I would write a novel in reply as I have many thoughts on this from years of health and soil study but I wont (thankfully). A must watch/listen for all!
Look at the Lee Crosby video where she trashes keto and see the comments there. Keto followers can get pretty militant too! I live in a mixed marriage, my wife is vegan and I am keto, so it is safer for me to avoid militancy 😊
Sometimes vegans say that the plants that have a shape that is similar to one of our organs are good for that organ. However, what plant could be more similar to a human organ than the same organ of an animal?
I doubt most vegans would care. Not that they themselves are that ethical anyway, but the 'not killing animals' thing is a hill they'd die on to the exclusion of everything else. Sacrificing your own health as a human being (they wouldn't expect this from carnivorous animals despite humans being basically that) is expected.
Food that children eat like … bread based pizza, popcorn, refined carbohydrates, food cooked with seed oils, food with refined starch such as potato, refined grains or legumes… if these are fed to children on a regular basis this can lead to childhood illness including obesity and brain function changes, eye disorders, behavioral changes and skin disorders…
It's so important to get this out. It's such a good overview of the problems. We should all bombard our government, and especially the health and food responsale, with this video... Some of them might begin to think, instead of just following trends and ideologies
Just searched sources if iron and then red meat and iron - got mostly vegan options! This wasn’t the case 10 years ago I don’t think - but then I also knew red meat and liver were excellent sources of iron. No wonder people have no idea!
This is because plant based sources of iron have more iron per calorie. My in laws actually have a very old herb book and it recommends taking a ton of asparagus to cure anemia.
What an excellent presentation. So much information, intelligently thought out and coherently put. Dr Paul Mason is a treasure of the utmost quality and integrity.
I was raised vegetarian. By my mid 20s was in terrible physical health. After a month of introducing meat to my diet, the transformation was little short of miraculous. We are omnivorous. Meat is necessary.
Yes, the liver produces the bile but it's interesting that we have a big reservoir to stockpile large amounts of it (the gallbladder). And they tell us to eat 7g of meat a day...
Correct, and my gallbladder was in a bad way after years of a low fat diet. My doctor advised having it removed saying, "it's a very common operation these days". I didnt know enough then to question why it is a common operation.
"Veg lacks 15 nutrients and we can't convert cellulose into protein." Vegans have similar or lower rates of vitamin deficiencies to omnivores and no one needs to "convert cellulose into protein" because the protein in whole plant foods isn't in the cellulose.
Can we talk about the now expired scandalous 2016 'Position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics: Veg*an Diets' paper, that continues to be cited and quoted worldwide, claiming that said diet is "appropriate for all stages of the life cycle". How can we get this paper retracted?
Unfortunately dieticians look at health outcomes and serum levels to evaluate the viability of a diet, not fox news tier stat drops. Considering that properly planned vegan diets meet those standards you'll have no luck. Praying that you are able to cope with this loss. 🙏
@@marlowe1400 Actually "researchers" use whatever factors they think will best support the conclusion that they're paid to support. If outcomes do not support conclusions that they're paid to support (for example, it makes them look bad when the results show that older people with high LDL die a lot less than those with low LDL), they'll only consider markers and ignore actual outcomes.
The point about ethics towards the end was utterly flawed. What do the cows eat in the modern animal industry? Grains. About 5 times as much grain is required compared to humans eating it themselves. Veganism isn't about being perfect, just doing what you can.
Not in my country. All red meat is pasture raised with no grains fed. I have my own livestock, on pasture year round. My animals provide my family with meat and milk, more than enough to live on quite comfortably. Animals are far easier to grow and provide far more than plants do. Plant agriculture is actually very environmentally damaging and incredibly wasteful when you actually do your research. The chemicals used to grow monocrops is pretty shocking, as are the spray programmes with 25-50 different sprays applied to a crop, not as necessary either - they must be used in order to sell your product. A third of a crop can be lost before it even leaves the farm (and many crops go completely unpicked because it's not worth the money to harvest them). Then there are the animals deliberately killed to protect those crops including fruits and vegetables, collateral damage in an already very wasteful industry.
Your argument about vegans doing just what they can is utterly flawed. Most vegans have kids, so It's obviously not about "just doing what you can" If that was true most vegans would not have kids. a carnivore with no kids is a million times better than a vegan with kids in regards to reducing animal suffering. This is just a fact.
Tried a fast the other day…. Woke up from a nightmare in the early hours, in which I was running around screaming “where’s my steak! I’m starving!”, at random strangers.
Here's a ChatGPT summary: - Vegan diets are not necessarily healthy or ethical - There have been cases of malnutrition and death in children fed a vegan diet - Belgian laws now require parents to supplement their children's vegan diets with vitamins and regular medical supervision - Vegan diets can lead to severe consequences such as brain damage and bone fractures in children - Plant-based foods do not contain vitamin B12, which is essential for health - B12 deficiency can be deadly and cannot be obtained from plant foods without fortification or supplementation - Vegan diets require artificial supplementation to be well-balanced - Many vegetarians and vegans still suffer from B12 deficiencies - Grass-fed steak contains essential nutrients that are absent or deficient in a plant-based diet - Observational studies cannot prove causation and should be backed up by experimental research - Surrogate markers used in nutritional research can be misleading - Red meat does not cause bowel cancer, as claimed by the World Health Organization - Meat has been used to treat scurvy and has been a part of human diets throughout history - Plant-based diets lack essential nutrients such as omega-3 fats, creatine, and iron - Iron deficiency can have long-term consequences on brain development and behavior - Animal foods are more bioavailable and contain nutrients that are not found in plant foods - Livestock farming does not monopolize agricultural land and can actually restore topsoil - Livestock farming uses less blue water than crop farming - Pesticide use in agriculture is widespread and can have negative health and environmental effects - Glyphosate, a commonly used pesticide, can accumulate in food and has been found in breast milk - Consuming organic foods can lower exposure to pesticides like glyphosate
In the latter part of the video where animal deaths associated with agriculture is discussed, what is not calculated & is essentially incalculable, is the number of animal lives that would have existed without the field of grain. An entire ecosystem was destroyed when a field was turned to crops.
I cannot eat beans or grains. I cannot eat carrot broccoli or cauliflower . Spinach is completely out of the question. I found this out by experience. :-)
I love white beans cooked long with beef in tomato sauce, but it bloats me same as other légumes. I also have great trouble with bread. I have lost my ibs overnight eating meat, beg no carbs or very little and zero bread. After feeling afraid, I did add butter to my meat and I am calmer and sleep so well.
dr Mason, watched all of his videos, i hope to get a podcast and interview Dr. Mason, really interesting health topic. there is more to nutrition at the microscopic level than Castle's intrinsic factor. okay, at the 2m mark that is my rant for now. we have to be healthy to be healthy, lol. you have to learn what you need and so forth. you cannot turn your back on health science as Dr. P. Mason's predecessors have. that is what i have learned, a portion of what i have learned. cant wait
I believe that truth is built on right information. Therefore I would like to add to the completeness of information contained within this talk. I'm not an expert on nutrition, Dr. Mason knows more than me about any subject within this topic. I am, however, proficient in ecology. Ecological understanding is something that our pro-meat community is comparatively deficient in. So here's what I would like to add: Yes, holistically-planned grazing is much more beneficial to the environment than monoculture farming. However, plant agriculture doesn't have to be monoculture-like. Ernst Götsch, for example, has developed a farming technique with which he can produce a huge amount of crops (mostly fruit and wood) in a very biologically diverse atlantic tropical rainforest in Brazil. His products aren't only more nutritions and better tasting, he produces higher harvests than his monoculture counterparts. His farmland is among the most biodiverse spots within Brazil. My point is, plant agriculture does not have to be ecologically destructive. Let's turn that around. Do you know that only a fraction of global meat production comes from grassfields? Most of it is farmed on monoculture fields. The corn belt of the American mid west is a good example for this. Most of the corn there is grown to feed livestock. So animal farming can be very ecologically destructive too. It's important not to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Another point made by Dr. Mason was that perennial grasses are very important pieces in the environment. Well, yes they are for the reasons Dr. Mason listed, but so is every other plant on earth. One has to understand that different plants occupy different niches. There are many grasses and many different niches they occupy, but what we usually think of as perennial grasses are those that develop in semi-arid, climates. Prairie, savannah, steppe and pampas. Those are the biogeographical regions that grasses dominate in. Without human interference these regions would be covered in grasses with a small amount of trees interspersed. Those are also the regions that most of large ruminant herbivores evolved in. These animals are a very important part in those ecosystems. However, in other biogeographical locations, those same ruminant herbivores would do more harm than good. Such locations include pretty much all of the perhumid (humid throughout the entire year) regions. Those regions have been covered almost entirely by forests before humans arrived there (British Isles, Iceland, Western Europe and eastern China, New Zealand just to name a few). Such regions do not properly host cows and sheep. These animals would kill young tree seedlings, therefore making a forest unable to regenerate and if left unattended, these wild animals would die out in the forests or have to adapt. That does not mean, that animal agriculture is impossible in those regions, pigs, bears, deer, goats and many others, could be hunted and even domesticated to a certain degree. As a side note, some of you may be irritated by my apparent preference of trees compared to grasses and forbs. I do not like any plant more than another. Yet, trees will always do a much greater service to ecology, humans and evolution than a grass ever could. Why is that? Well, to put it simply, trees are larger organisms than grasses. They capture more carbon, filter more water, hold on to more water, structure more soil, create better microclimates, host a higher biodiversity of other biota and they cycle nutrients more effectively. So we shouldn't be afraid of buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) changing Illinoisian prairies into forests, or having Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) change Hungarian steppe into forest. Nor should we be afraid of Lupinus nootkatensis swallowing up Icelandic tundra for there to establish a completely new kind of grassland which would support entirely new populations of large herbivores. So, to finish up, we cannot be dogmatic and practice the same kind of animal agriculture in all regions of the earth. So, I hope my information can widen our understanding of ecology amongst pro-meat people.
Great comment. I agree completely that the carnivore influencerrs have not properly addressed the ecological arguments. Paul makes a good start here, but there is way more that needs to be studied.
Edifying and thoughtful. I would just insert that “China” (to take just one example of “region”) most definitely includes Vast! areas of semi-arid plains , amongst other ideal grazing territory. Quite diverse, like non-equatorial Americas etc. Thanks : )
UK BIOBANK STUDY: Looked at 300 people following a low carbohydrate (keto) diet and compared them to 1200 people on a standard diet. It concluded that the risk of having a heart attack, peripheral artery disease, and stroke was double that of those following the standard diet. Other things to note on a keto diet include: high cholesterol, constipation, and a smelly breath.
The "real" science (as opposed to corporate ones) behind the dangers of glyphoste are only now starting to be heard and understood around the world. Thank you for all you've included here about it.
My family were getting the usual winter sickness that went around and around for months. Our diet was very healthy. Decided to go plant based for a trial. For purely health reasons. Did not get sick again for 4 years. Until we added in diary and meat. My wife remains o a PB diet and still is free of any sickness.
I always look forward to listening to Dr Paul Mason. Probably one of the most intellectually informed and well researching health advocates alive today.
I tried telling my parents that vegetables were not good for you since I was 4 years old.

Hahahahahahahaha!!!
As a farmer, I can tell you that it is almost impossible for a combine harvester to kill mice. With almost all crops, soybeans being the exception, the header of the combine is well above the ground. When soybeans are harvested the header has sensors touching the ground which allow the header to "float" across the surface of the ground. Even then a mouse would have to give a big jump just at the right time in order to be gobbled up by a combine. I'm sure from the road driving by it looks like it is devouring everything in it's path, in reality it's not. Mowing hay on the other hand does kill quite a few mice. A hay mower moves much faster than a combine and is cutting extremely close to the ground. You can see clear evidence of this by the birds such as ravens and crows that pick the dead mice out of the windrows of freshly cut hay. I've never seen them picking dead mice out of a field that's just been harvested. I am a carnivore, however I don't think people promoting a carnivore diet should use bad arguments.
Then we have to consider the loss of habitat for small animals caused by ploughing and then there's losses due to chemical spraying.
It’s interesting that Dr Mason used, a number of reliable data points such as behaviour and mouse populations to estimate the kill per hectare, but missed the operational mechanical function of the harvester itself. This is the sort of error jumped upon by plant based advocates to discredit animal consumption arguments and so should be avoided.
Thanks for mentioning that!

I am now nearly 75 years old and after being a vegan for at least 45 years I started to eat meat three years ago. From the very first bite I felt a different person. I just knew with that bite that I had starved myself for all those years. I had had so many digestive issues and body issues I was a mess for all those years. I thought I was also helping the planet but that is so not true. Thank you Dr Mason.
Amazing! That you survived so long on a vegan diet. What caused you to realize that your diet might be causing your poor health and start eating meat again? Do you feel better with some meat in your diet?
I am feeling great eating meat. It has changed my life. My daughter went to Canada (we live in Italy) as a vegetarian to study Holistic Nutrition and came back saying we have to eat meat. @@Jen.K
@@margaretskewes2553 Institute of Holistic Nutrition?
hey margaret, question for you, were you eating processed foods throughout your vegan diet? I'm just asking because I'm thinking about increasing my meat intake
you did the wrong vegan diet then!
Red meat & eggs and goat dairy can be farmed on grass/weeds/wooded areas without a college degree and processed by the customers themselves if they want to help & they'll be very healthy. This leaves out a lot of middlemen & bankers & the more you do for yourself the less taxable labor you do. So they demonize the foods you & neighbors can grow easily.
Yes! You need arable land to grow crops, but various ruminants can live off of most types of land. Chickens too.
Of course, in my part of the world, the food mafia has passed regulations that make it illegal to slaughter animals, so regular people can't produce their own meat, they have to buy it. The dairy mafia is even worse, even if you own a dairy farm it's illegal to have your spouse who lives with you on the farm taste a single drop of the milk you produce, it must be sent to large processors before it's legal for consumption.

At 62, I adopted a Keto lifestyle and, now, 2 years later. I feel better than I have in decades! I dropped 35 pounds easily and have maintained my new perfect weight for the last year. Thank-you, Dr. Paul Mason for showing me the way. 😊
Thanks for sharing your experience. I've come to the conclusion that all information comes with a bias and an agenda, whether its vegan, low fat, paleo, keto or carnivore. We are all different and the only authentic science, is the science we practice on ourselves. We have to experiment and find out what works best for our own body. I'm also 62 and recently started a ketovore diet after being predominantly plant based most of my life, and not particularly healthy as a consequence.
@@Jen.K You're saying that a plant-based or ketogenic diet isn't healthy for you.
Paul Mason is a fantastic researcher and such a credible doctor. Common arguments against meat consumption are so ideologically driven and willfully manipulate data to support bias conclusions. CAFO production of meat is definitely bad for animals and the environment. We need to support regenerative ranchers. So much of the data is driven by global food producers who fund universities, research, and globalist organizations. Support your local farmers and distribution channels whenever you can. I will continue to eat a meat-centric diet and support my local farmers and markets and enjoy profound health benefits.
Vegan doctors seem to be drifting into the distance but the Churches and their followers are growing by the million, unfortunately. It's really sad.
"A fantastic researcher and such a credible doctor" Really? He cites a systematic review on ldl-c levels and the link to mortality and then claims there is no credible evidence to suggest a link between ldl in general and risk of dying failing to make the distinction between ldl-c (amount of cholesterol in lipoproteins) and ldl-p (number of these lipoproteins in the blood) which is a way better and well-established marker for cardiovascular disease. Either he doesn't know how to interpret data or he is intentionally misleading. Eitherway that makes him very untrustworthy
@@zardi9083 watch more of his discussions or lectures and you will see that he goes into great depth into this distinctions. Maybe just not on this clip but he is (like all of us) way more than a single clip. He really is a well measured researcher.

The really sad thing is that I don’t need to read more than a dozen or so comments to read anti vegan myths, BS science, misquoted studies, invented rubbish, irrelevant science.
I am not a vegan, simply because following a really good vegan diet is tricky unless you do it as a family. The much easier to follow option is a WFPB diet with some dairy and fish added.

Devastating Logic with total clarity. I'm so grateful to you Dr. Paul for making it, and I'm going to note and memorise your points in order to debunk the vegan illusion. After many years on an animal based diet, I've still been feeling a little guilty over the atavistic unevolved desire to eat meat. Critics Begone !!!!♥
Try to lose the guilt -- you are a member of a truly incredible species which simply would not exist without our hominid ancestors beginning to eat meat. That great grey brain of ours, relative to our gut-structures, would be impossible without it.
So don't feel guilty -- it's your genetic inheritance as a member of _Homo sapiens sapiens._ If anything, look at the history of evolution - really look - and be proud that as a species, ours has beaten all the odds!
My mother never told me to eat my vegetables. She used to say, “Eat your meat, it’s good for you.” I did, and I still feel virtuous when I eat meat.😊
"Eat meat vigorously and without conscience ".
@@Loribynyou obviously haven't spent much time reading evolutionary biology books. Our brain development came through an increase in caloric intake via the harnessing of fire and cooking a wide variety of previously inaccessible foods (see raw tubers, beans, grains, and raw meat). Fire denatured the proteins and starches. Our brains are all thought to have grown via the advent of more complex tools and social interaction.
The part that makes the naturalistic fallacy most nonsensical is that life expectancy was about 30 years for people of that era. There's no indication that eating like a cave man now promotes longevity and prevents disease. If one looks at the big killers (heart disease, cancer, and diabetes) these diseases are directly correlated with global populations that consume the highest volume of animal products
@@valerietaylor9615hardly virtuous when you're unnecessarily harming and killing animals based on really bad advice and poor information
Many of us knew this stuff was true for a long time. It is depressing thinking about the children and pets of vegans
I remember a vegan was trying to prove her dog preferred veggies over meat, had set up an experiment by both next to each other on a table. When she introduced the dog, she couldn’t stop it from going straight for the meat. I am not sure if it was staged, but it was hilarious and obvious.
There are seriously many vegans out there who try to feed their cats a plant-only diet.
I've even seen a few particularly insane ones consider building a giant fence in Africa to keep the herbivores on one side and the carnivore on the other side. They thought it would force the carnivores to go vegan and they'd be totally fine.
When you're that disconnected from reality, there is a serious risk that you will harm your child even if you don't intend to.
@@jimmckay2337love that video😂 but it was probably staged because if it wasn't then she wouldn't have uploaded it
As a side note, somewhere I read this week that turning animals vegan was recommended for....you know, climate change
@@jimmckay2337Dogs will eat anything if you pour milk and meat juices over their food. I wonder why :P
It's their choices. As far as I'm concerned the bigger the diversity of choices the better. Thus we can figure out what choices lead to what consequences, so we may learn more about how to structure our lives.
A couple years ago when I submitted stool samples for myself and my dogs to "The American gut Project" I looked into how many different types of bacteria were in the guts of people eating various diets. The American Gut Project found that vegetarians had the lowest number of bacteria types. The more variety of bacteria you have in general the better you digest your food.

This presentation is superb. I don't know how vegans can rationalize the B12 deficiency. Crucial point Dr Mason makes, an adult person who goes vegan has a store of B12 in their liver that can last years. But eventually, the vegan diet is not sustainable because the B12 stored will run out.
They have a thing called supplements .
The animals you eat are supplemented.
It must work if farmers are doing it .
Why would they waste their money if it didn't work ?
You do realize that supplements exist, right? Omnivorous diets also tend to have certain nutritional blind spots, which is why companies started fortifying things like milk, salt, and cereals. Doesn't mean the diet isn't viable.
"Coincidentally", the average amount of time a vegan stays vegan is four years.
And young women usually need more iron than a vegan diet can supply. Plants can have iron, but it's not very absorbable.
Yes! At about the 6 year mark it seems!

Thank you Doc, for speaking the truth about the environmental reality of raising livestock versus crop-agriculture.
Anyone who's tried to produce their own food, on their own land large or small, knows just how dire the environmental emergency is -- and that the unmitigated lies about it never bloody stop! Some of us have been shouting it from the rooftops for years, decades and more, but it's fallen on deaf ears (and not without a lot of help doing so!).

"Thank you Doc, for speaking the truth about the environmental reality of raising livestock versus crop-agriculture." Dr, Mason is misleading people about what the science says about the issue. There is overwhelming scientific evidence that diets dominated by whole plant foods are not just vastly better for the planet, they are one of THE very most beneficial things people can do to reduce their ecological impacts and help restore biodiversity. You have to think globally and look at global data to understand this issue, and when you do, you can understand why global beef and mutton consumption must drop sharply to help us save Earth's ecosystems.

There are no traditional vegan diets anywhere in the world; the vegan diet emerged in 20th-century western nations. Even the vegetarian diets of India include generous amounts of dairy, and sometimes eggs and fish.
So? Everyone in the western world can live and thrive as a vegan, so there is really no excuse to continue exploiting and abusing animals.
Vitamin B12, Omega 3, Creatine, Iron.
Now when I refer to a vegan diet as an *"unhealthy vegan diet",* I'll remember to mention these nutrients.
Yes, strict vegan diet is so unhealthy.
Why are anti-vegan, pro-animal abuse people so willfully ignorant? Vitamin B12 is available cheap as a supplement and is fortified in many cereals and foods. Omega-3 fats are available in walnuts, flax seeds, chia seeds and hemp seeds and the human body converts the ALA to DHA & EPA based on 'need'. You don't need to feed humans meat to get Omega 3 fats. Next, Creatine is made in our own bodies, we don't need it from food. Iron is in plenty of vegetables like broccoli, spinach, beans and whole grains. Iron is in most fortified foods. So, please, STOP trying to mislead people about a vegan diet.
Creatine is by favourite, it's involved in building androgen receptors and have increased fertility rates in people taking ovulation treatment. also installed 4 healing in rats. low carnitine in autistic etc
Note how both Creatine and L-carnitine are healthy nutrients found in animal foods, while Creatinine - associated with kidney problems - is a waste product formed when digesting animal products.
Creatine and iron? Lol. Silly
Now I have two presentations that I think everyone should watch/listen to. The other one is Chris Knobbe's presentation on industrial seed oils.
When I got pregnant with my daughter, I had been a vegetarian for 8 years, I took no supplements. I was extremely sick during the first few months of my pregnancy and blood tests showed that I was severely anemic and lacking in iron. I was put on various supplements and started eating meat again. Thankfully, my daughter was healthy, my ignorance didn't cause any damage to her, but now, ironically, she's in her 20's and heading towards veganism herself, currently, the only animal food she eats is eggs. For me, over the years, I started leaning back towards a mostly plant based diet, with minimal meat, and my health has suffered, partly as a consequence of this. For the last few months I've been mostly carnivore, in an attempt to save what remains of my health and life. I wish information like this had been available when I was younger.
What a brilliantly presented talk! Thank you Dr Paul x
Early in my marriage I had a problem with a vegetarian mother in law, because I ate meat. I was raised omnivorous and would not be forced to change.
Thank you Paul, it's about time someone told the complete story and you have finally done it.
I used to have a normal western diet and 5 Years ago was diagnosed with pernicious anaemia. I was tested for the antibodies (positive) and placed on 3 monthly injections of B12.
3 years ago I began a ketovore type diet and now no longer require the B12 injections.
I've tried keto, carni, vegan, just about all of them over 10yrs. I discovered my two biggest issues were candida and oxylates. The diet I've finally been succesful with is animal based (mostly hunted and fished) or 100% grass fed or local eggs, cheese, low oxylate, and gluton free. I'm not low carb, I eat some bananas, mango, butternut squash, and red skin potatoes. After 4 months of oxylate dumping and candida dieoff from implimenting daily kefir and throwing my whole system is a wirlwind, i finally feel better than I have in 10 yrs, gained 10lb of muscle in a month, and have energy to kill it in sales and get my strength back.

As an acupuncture physician, I've told parents for many years not to force their children to eat vegetables because they are hard to digest. I used to say that we needed to focus on improving the health of the digestive system before they could approach vegetables. Now I tell them that vegetables are overrated, not necessary in the diet, and often cause digestive problems in otherwise healthy people.
I only eat meat and a little bit of fermented vegetables now, but back in the days my Chinese Medicine doctor recommended never eat raw vegetables and avoid green vegetables with curly leaves or curl into a ball.
"I've told parents for many years not to force their children to eat vegetables because they are hard to digest. I used to say that we needed to focus on improving the health of the digestive system before they could approach vegetables." As someone who teaches nutrition, those ideas have no basis in scientific reality. When you gradually (or rapidly) increase the amount of whole plant foods you eat, the types of bacteria in your gut shift over to ones that happily digest plant fiber and churn out short-chain fatty acids in return. All children should eat lots of fruits and vegetables.
@@HealingLifeKwikly And yet fruits were never a regular part of the human diet until we could cultivate fruit trees; even then, they were eaten seasonally. Prehistoric man could not can or preserve fruits. They knew to eat them to fatten up for winter since they had sugar, and they were useful in that regard, but nothing a baby would eat or anyone else in seasons where they weren't ripe and ready. And btw, breastmilk provides for the growth of the gut microbiome perfectly without the need for any fruits or vegetables, and babies used to nurse for years. Many still do, thank goodness.

Our stomachs have an enzyme called triphosphate glycinerase that converts the nutrients in most plant foods into the neurotoxin CHEBI:50910. It is therefore essential to insert nutrient-dense root foods such as carrots and sweet potatoes directly into the rectum, where the good bacteria break them down into highly bio-available vitamins and minerals.

I eat at least 3 eggs a day with out 1 pounds of meat of my choice. Lost over 150 pounds. Feel great... Rock on...
Paul Mason is a True doctor who understands that a proper human diet can heal and prevent unnecessary aging and diseases.
Doing the calculation, 1 hectare is .405 of an acre (each acre produces about 75 bushels of wheat) ... so, .405 x 75 is 30 bushels of wheat per hectare. You can get 80 loaves of bread out of a bushel, so 80 x 30 = 2400 loaves (1-1.5lbs each) of bread per hectare of wheat. But Paul just said in a plague year over 80% of 3000 mice die (2,400) per hectare just from poisoning (probably a painful death... more so than chopping by the combine?). So, each loaf of bread costs the life of a rodent, each plague year... or every 4 years. So... shouldn't vegans have No Bread Mondays or something every 4 years? That's a lot of rodents.
Your math is wrong
1 acre is 0.4 hectare
If faced with an infestation of rodents, I am fairly sure hifalutin arguments to save the poor wee rodents would soon collapse. 👀
The problem with his argument is that most of the crops that are grown and harvested in this way are not fed to humans. They're fed to animals. You don't think that cows ever step on rodents and accidentally kill them or bugs or whatever? Also the reality is that very few people eat a meat based diet... and if they did we'd quickly run out of land as it is the single largest use of land already. It's the single largest source of deforestation already. These mountains he thinks are perfect for grazing animals were once forests full of biodiversity which we're quickly losing.
How many acres of lush natural land is sacrificed to grow crops and how much chemical is used on this acreage?

I'm currently interested in the effects of vegetarian diets, and particularly grains, on the brain. I'm sure I'm not the only person who thinks that the world has gone crazy, totally irrational. Might this be because of the push towards seed oils and plant-based diets since the 1970s?
Read "Grain Brain" by David Perlmutter
Contamination with herbicides is also an issue. As well as the very high levels of gluten.
You are not wrong in your assessment
It was really seed oils and sugar pushed onto us from late 70's. Demonisation of animal fat led to "Fat free" everything, the food industry substituted fat with sugar. Healthy to deadly.
Spot on, I have been thinking this for a while, without wanting to sound conspiritational... with WHO and other agencies pushing this vegan way of eating, blanking out animal meats and now we see the slaughter of many red meat (and chicken) animals it really makes you wonder!
How healthy is the Vegan diet, well looking at that picture of Dr Michael Greger. I think that question as already been answered 😂😂
It's a little mean but I remember someone once posted a picture of him standing next to a little girl, and pointing out that the little girl had bigger arms than he does.
In the meantime half the carnivore doctors are mostly made of huge muscle.
Michael gregor is on and promotes a wholefood plant based diet, not only vegan but NO oils of any kind. They demonise fats in diet.
All of the older vegan advocates look very gaunt and appear to have advanced sarcopenia. None of them look like a role model for health: Greger, McDougall, Campbell, Esselstyn, etc.
Genetics are what you're observing, not the actual diet results on 'health'. A vegan diet has been shown to be more healthy for the heart and vascular system than an omnivore diet. I can show you vegan athletes who are just as muscular as any meat eating athletes. Comparing people who are of different genetics and saying the diet is the reason they look different is silly. Dr. Greger is a highly intelligent human being and if he scores higher on an IQ test than a omnivore, do we say it's the diet or genetic predisposition for inherited intelligence that may be the difference? People aren't born the same in nature. Some people hit the genetic lottery for either great outcomes or even poor outcomes. No one is perfect though. This is why diets are evaluated in the aggregate, not based on anecdotes.

Thank you - some of the best information Ive heard in a LONG time. I would write a novel in reply as I have many thoughts on this from years of health and soil study but I wont (thankfully). A must watch/listen for all!
Vegans get pretty militant when you trash their diet 😂
Look at the Lee Crosby video where she trashes keto and see the comments there. Keto followers can get pretty militant too! I live in a mixed marriage, my wife is vegan and I am keto, so it is safer for me to avoid militancy 😊
Sometimes vegans say that the plants that have a shape that is similar to one of our organs are good for that organ. However, what plant could be more similar to a human organ than the same organ of an animal?
LOL true
That's a great point!!!
Point to 1 vegan who has ever said that lmao.

Best summary of the arguments I've seen. Mason knocks it out of the ballpark again!
Right on darlin'.
I doubt most vegans would care. Not that they themselves are that ethical anyway, but the 'not killing animals' thing is a hill they'd die on to the exclusion of everything else. Sacrificing your own health as a human being (they wouldn't expect this from carnivorous animals despite humans being basically that) is expected.

@Debbie-jz6ef good grief I thought he was about 30!
Brilliant presentation as usual, Paul. Such a lot of research and work to give us a clear, balanced understanding….thank you so much. 🤗
Food that children eat like … bread based pizza, popcorn, refined carbohydrates, food cooked with seed oils, food with refined starch such as potato, refined grains or legumes… if these are fed to children on a regular basis this can lead to childhood illness including obesity and brain function changes, eye disorders, behavioral changes and skin disorders…
Once you realize the WHO's goal is NOT your health but control..
Those were pretty compelling arguments, thanks for the information Dr. Paul Mason
It's so important to get this out. It's such a good overview of the problems.
We should all bombard our government, and especially the health and food responsale, with this video... Some of them might begin to think, instead of just following trends and ideologies
Just searched sources if iron and then red meat and iron - got mostly vegan options! This wasn’t the case 10 years ago I don’t think - but then I also knew red meat and liver were excellent sources of iron. No wonder people have no idea!
This is because plant based sources of iron have more iron per calorie. My in laws actually have a very old herb book and it recommends taking a ton of asparagus to cure anemia.
They have an agenda to push - search engines toe the party line

Until it was artificially created in the fifties, liver is where B12 was obtained for people who couldn't get it from food.
What an excellent presentation. So much information, intelligently thought out and coherently put. Dr Paul Mason is a treasure of the utmost quality and integrity.
I was raised vegetarian. By my mid 20s was in terrible physical health. After a month of introducing meat to my diet, the transformation was little short of miraculous. We are omnivorous. Meat is necessary.
we are carnivore.
Go all the way to carnivore for true health and vigor, at least you're not killing yourself slowly with the vagan madness
Great info . Thanks Paul . We have gall bladders to squirt out bile too. And bile is there for eating meat and fat.
Yes, the liver produces the bile but it's interesting that we have a big reservoir to stockpile large amounts of it (the gallbladder).
And they tell us to eat 7g of meat a day...
Correct, and my gallbladder was in a bad way after years of a low fat diet. My doctor advised having it removed saying, "it's a very common operation these days". I didnt know enough then to question why it is a common operation.
Bile also assists in detoxification, helps to prevent constipation, and activates digestive enzymes; this towards liberating nutrients from food.
canine teeth in humans are made for eating meat
Veg lacks 15 nutrients and we can't convert cellulose into protein.
"Veg lacks 15 nutrients and we can't convert cellulose into protein." Vegans have similar or lower rates of vitamin deficiencies to omnivores and no one needs to "convert cellulose into protein" because the protein in whole plant foods isn't in the cellulose.
Protein in whole foods 😂, you jest sir
Can we talk about the now expired scandalous 2016 'Position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics: Veg*an Diets' paper, that continues to be cited and quoted worldwide, claiming that said diet is "appropriate for all stages of the life cycle".
How can we get this paper retracted?
Unfortunately dieticians look at health outcomes and serum levels to evaluate the viability of a diet, not fox news tier stat drops. Considering that properly planned vegan diets meet those standards you'll have no luck. Praying that you are able to cope with this loss. 🙏
You'll have to remove breastmilk because that contains animal products, lol...
@@marlowe1400 Actually "researchers" use whatever factors they think will best support the conclusion that they're paid to support.
If outcomes do not support conclusions that they're paid to support (for example, it makes them look bad when the results show that older people with high LDL die a lot less than those with low LDL), they'll only consider markers and ignore actual outcomes.
@Mallchad Your grasp of veganism is very weak there my eggstraordinary humorous pal.
@@Mallchadbreast milk is given consentually and is not exploitative
The point about ethics towards the end was utterly flawed.
What do the cows eat in the modern animal industry? Grains. About 5 times as much grain is required compared to humans eating it themselves.
Veganism isn't about being perfect, just doing what you can.
Not in my country. All red meat is pasture raised with no grains fed. I have my own livestock, on pasture year round. My animals provide my family with meat and milk, more than enough to live on quite comfortably. Animals are far easier to grow and provide far more than plants do. Plant agriculture is actually very environmentally damaging and incredibly wasteful when you actually do your research. The chemicals used to grow monocrops is pretty shocking, as are the spray programmes with 25-50 different sprays applied to a crop, not as necessary either - they must be used in order to sell your product. A third of a crop can be lost before it even leaves the farm (and many crops go completely unpicked because it's not worth the money to harvest them). Then there are the animals deliberately killed to protect those crops including fruits and vegetables, collateral damage in an already very wasteful industry.
Your argument about vegans doing just what they can is utterly flawed.
Most vegans have kids, so It's obviously not about "just doing what you can" If that was true most vegans would not have kids. a carnivore with no kids is a million times better than a vegan with kids in regards to reducing animal suffering. This is just a fact.
Tried a fast the other day…. Woke up from a nightmare in the early hours, in which I was running around screaming “where’s my steak! I’m starving!”, at random strangers.
Here's a ChatGPT summary:
- Vegan diets are not necessarily healthy or ethical
- There have been cases of malnutrition and death in children fed a vegan diet
- Belgian laws now require parents to supplement their children's vegan diets with vitamins and regular medical supervision
- Vegan diets can lead to severe consequences such as brain damage and bone fractures in children
- Plant-based foods do not contain vitamin B12, which is essential for health
- B12 deficiency can be deadly and cannot be obtained from plant foods without fortification or supplementation
- Vegan diets require artificial supplementation to be well-balanced
- Many vegetarians and vegans still suffer from B12 deficiencies
- Grass-fed steak contains essential nutrients that are absent or deficient in a plant-based diet
- Observational studies cannot prove causation and should be backed up by experimental research
- Surrogate markers used in nutritional research can be misleading
- Red meat does not cause bowel cancer, as claimed by the World Health Organization
- Meat has been used to treat scurvy and has been a part of human diets throughout history
- Plant-based diets lack essential nutrients such as omega-3 fats, creatine, and iron
- Iron deficiency can have long-term consequences on brain development and behavior
- Animal foods are more bioavailable and contain nutrients that are not found in plant foods
- Livestock farming does not monopolize agricultural land and can actually restore topsoil
- Livestock farming uses less blue water than crop farming
- Pesticide use in agriculture is widespread and can have negative health and environmental effects
- Glyphosate, a commonly used pesticide, can accumulate in food and has been found in breast milk
- Consuming organic foods can lower exposure to pesticides like glyphosate
And don't forget pesticides and parkingsons disease.

I can.

He has been ahead of his time for a while now.
This is the best lecture I have ever heard ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Just make sense! Thank you 🙏🏼
I wish more people could watch this presentation.
Brilliant presentation! Dr. Mason you are an inspiration to all!
Remember the vegan 'expert' Dr. Michael Gregor and him consuming raw elderberries? That and him looking like a drink of water says it all for me!
In the latter part of the video where animal deaths associated with agriculture is discussed, what is not calculated & is essentially incalculable, is the number of animal lives that would have existed without the field of grain. An entire ecosystem was destroyed when a field was turned to crops.
I cannot eat beans or grains. I cannot eat carrot broccoli or cauliflower . Spinach is completely out of the question. I found this out by experience. :-)
I love white beans cooked long with beef in tomato sauce, but it bloats me same as other légumes. I also have great trouble with bread. I have lost my ibs overnight eating meat, beg no carbs or very little and zero bread. After feeling afraid, I did add butter to my meat and I am calmer and sleep so well.
dr Mason, watched all of his videos, i hope to get a podcast and interview Dr. Mason, really interesting health topic. there is more to nutrition at the microscopic level than Castle's intrinsic factor. okay, at the 2m mark that is my rant for now. we have to be healthy to be healthy, lol. you have to learn what you need and so forth. you cannot turn your back on health science as Dr. P. Mason's predecessors have. that is what i have learned, a portion of what i have learned. cant wait
I believe that truth is built on right information. Therefore I would like to add to the completeness of information contained within this talk. I'm not an expert on nutrition, Dr. Mason knows more than me about any subject within this topic. I am, however, proficient in ecology.
Ecological understanding is something that our pro-meat community is comparatively deficient in.
So here's what I would like to add:
Yes, holistically-planned grazing is much more beneficial to the environment than monoculture farming. However, plant agriculture doesn't have to be monoculture-like. Ernst Götsch, for example, has developed a farming technique with which he can produce a huge amount of crops (mostly fruit and wood) in a very biologically diverse atlantic tropical rainforest in Brazil.
His products aren't only more nutritions and better tasting, he produces higher harvests than his monoculture counterparts. His farmland is among the most biodiverse spots within Brazil.
My point is, plant agriculture does not have to be ecologically destructive.
Let's turn that around. Do you know that only a fraction of global meat production comes from grassfields? Most of it is farmed on monoculture fields. The corn belt of the American mid west is a good example for this. Most of the corn there is grown to feed livestock.
So animal farming can be very ecologically destructive too. It's important not to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Another point made by Dr. Mason was that perennial grasses are very important pieces in the environment. Well, yes they are for the reasons Dr. Mason listed, but so is every other plant on earth. One has to understand that different plants occupy different niches. There are many grasses and many different niches they occupy, but what we usually think of as perennial grasses are those that develop in semi-arid, climates. Prairie, savannah, steppe and pampas. Those are the biogeographical regions that grasses dominate in. Without human interference these regions would be covered in grasses with a small amount of trees interspersed. Those are also the regions that most of large ruminant herbivores evolved in. These animals are a very important part in those ecosystems. However, in other biogeographical locations, those same ruminant herbivores would do more harm than good. Such locations include pretty much all of the perhumid (humid throughout the entire year) regions. Those regions have been covered almost entirely by forests before humans arrived there (British Isles, Iceland, Western Europe and eastern China, New Zealand just to name a few).
Such regions do not properly host cows and sheep. These animals would kill young tree seedlings, therefore making a forest unable to regenerate and if left unattended, these wild animals would die out in the forests or have to adapt. That does not mean, that animal agriculture is impossible in those regions, pigs, bears, deer, goats and many others, could be hunted and even domesticated to a certain degree.
As a side note, some of you may be irritated by my apparent preference of trees compared to grasses and forbs.
I do not like any plant more than another. Yet, trees will always do a much greater service to ecology, humans and evolution than a grass ever could. Why is that? Well, to put it simply, trees are larger organisms than grasses. They capture more carbon, filter more water, hold on to more water, structure more soil, create better microclimates, host a higher biodiversity of other biota and they cycle nutrients more effectively. So we shouldn't be afraid of buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) changing Illinoisian prairies into forests, or having Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) change Hungarian steppe into forest. Nor should we be afraid of Lupinus nootkatensis swallowing up Icelandic tundra for there to establish a completely new kind of grassland which would support entirely new populations of large herbivores.
So, to finish up, we cannot be dogmatic and practice the same kind of animal agriculture in all regions of the earth.
So, I hope my information can widen our understanding of ecology amongst pro-meat people.
Great comment. I agree completely that the carnivore influencerrs have not properly addressed the ecological arguments. Paul makes a good start here, but there is way more that needs to be studied.
Edifying and thoughtful. I would just insert that “China” (to take just one example of “region”) most definitely includes Vast! areas of semi-arid plains , amongst other ideal grazing territory. Quite diverse, like non-equatorial Americas etc. Thanks : )
Iceland was forested? What is the evidence for that?
UK BIOBANK STUDY: Looked at 300 people following a low carbohydrate (keto) diet and compared them to 1200 people on a standard diet. It concluded that the risk of having a heart attack, peripheral artery disease, and stroke was double that of those following the standard diet. Other things to note on a keto diet include: high cholesterol, constipation, and a smelly breath.
Another great video, Dr Paul Mason never disappoints!
The "real" science (as opposed to corporate ones) behind the dangers of glyphoste are only now starting to be heard and understood around the world. Thank you for all you've included here about it.
My family were getting the usual winter sickness that went around and around for months. Our diet was very healthy. Decided to go plant based for a trial. For purely health reasons. Did not get sick again for 4 years. Until we added in diary and meat. My wife remains o a PB diet and still is free of any sickness.
Fantastic talk like always! Thank you Dr Mason!
Can you provide the sources? That would be great!
I always look forward to listening to Dr Paul Mason. Probably one of the most intellectually informed and well researching health advocates alive today.
