Nina Teicholz at TEDxEast: The Big Fat Surprise
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 мар 2014
- Nina Teicholz is the author of the forthcoming book, The Big Fat Surprise (Simon & Schuster 2014), which makes the argument that modern nutrition science, over the past 60 years, has been wrong about dietary fat. She argues that eating fat is essential to good health, and that the saturated fats, as found in meat, cheese, cream and eggs, are the whole fats in whole foods that are essential for good heath. Teicholz has a background in food, science, and investigative reporting. She wrote on nutrition science for Men's Health Magazine and broke the trans-fat story in the US for Gourmet magazine. She studied biology at Yale and Stanford Universities and was a health analyst for Lewin/ICF, a consulting firm in Washington, D.C. Teicholz has written on food, as a regular contributor to Gourmet magazine and for New York magazine and Time Out New York. She has also contributed, on a variety of topics, to the New Yorker, the Economist, the Washington Post, The New York Times, and Salon, among other publications.She was an on-air reporter for NPR for five years, including two years based in Rio de Janeiro, covering South America. She was the associate director for the Center for Globalization and Sustainable Development at Columbia University.
She lives in New York with her husband and their two sons.
I live in East Africa and I'm related by marriage to the Masai. I can confirm this lady is correct. The Massai who eat their traditional diet have virtually none of the modern diseases that plague the West. That is also true for the Samburu, the Wahazabe and other tribes who do not eat modern foods, especially sugar. Their consumption of fruit sugar is moderate to none depending on the tribe. The Massai and Samburu consider Mboga(vegetables) to be women's food and won't eat it. They also consider fish to be like eating a snake and they wont touch it. Also the meat they do eat is from grass fed cattle. from the open savanna, their cows and bulls do not eat corn or soy. If they do move into the cities or villages their diet changes to ugali, made from white maze flour and rice. It is then that they contract modern diseases especially diabetes.
Gary Eberts That is so interesting. The world needs to know this. Is their better proof that high-fat works?
The Masai are healthy with their traditional diet but not as healthy when they move to villages and cities.
This is beyond an anecdote. This is proof positive.
Gary Eberts "the average Maasai male can expect to live for only 43 years, compared to 77 years for males in the U.S." www.raw-milk-facts.com/maasai_T3.html
Jonathan Levin And what do they die from?
Eric K No idea, I just want to know why we are trying to imitate the habits of a people that live surprisingly short time.
Gary Eberts Their average fitness level is generally higher than a westerners (they do something like 3 times the physical movement on average) and in one study this has been found to expand their veins so the athersclerotic plaque doesn't figure in as much for them to get heart attacks. The Maasai barely live beyond 60 with the average adult lifespan being below 50, so I'm thinking that their fitness allows them to escape some of the problems with their diet but not all of them ie., lack of longevity.
Dr. Johanna Budwig was a researcher for the margarine industry. She discovered how dangerous margarine, trans fats and processed oils were. They told her not to publish her findings. She published them anyway and got fired. She then went on to become a medical doctor, and developed a diet that is now used to help cancer patients.
I wish that more of her writings would be translated from German.
Cottage cheese and flax seed oil, in a bowl, stir with a spoon and eat. My kind of science. A stack of anecdotes from those who chose not woes, lunch.
It should not be illegal to have such a thing exist.
What?@@SuperSquark
@@ThBlueSalamander The Budwig diet. Cottage cheese and flax seed oil is what I remember of it. What causes your difficulty in understanding that? Maybe you should learn some grammar rather than playing video games? 33 subscribers and yet you think blue, its orange. Catch up, quick.
Went keto again after 25 years languishing on dietary food guide. Never felt better, lost 25 lbs in 6 months. Blood work is amazing. Look amazing.
I'm old enough to remember the 'diet plate' in the 1950's at restaurants. It consisted of ground beef steak, cottage cheese and a couple slices of fruit and no bread. Hummm...I think we were closer to the truth before.
Yep, my mom ate that way. Steak, cottage cheese, and tomato slices.
I remember my Dad eating this in the 60’s
It's actually still on menus at some restaurants to this day. Except it is on the "seniors" menu part.
It's got a ❤ next to it meaning "heart healthy"
Welcome to your Father dropping dead of a heart attack at age 65.
People knew for centuries that grains, corn and sugar is what caused weight gain.
Last August, 2020, I had a CAC scan done. My score was 32. I have less than a 10% chance of developing heart disease over the next 10 years. I'm 68 and have been carnivore almost 3 years. All of my autoimmune symptoms have vanished.
4GreenFrog,
You could be making the biggest mistake of your life.
@@johndoe9362 Why?
@@yakncast7530
Because meat increases your risk of getting cancer.
Dairy is as bad as meat.
Dairy is just liquid meat.
@@johndoe9362 Neither you or anyone else can show any proof that meat and/or dairy increases cancer risk.
@@yakncast7530
Meat and dairy at least increase the risk of cancer.
235 to 175 lbs. .....little to no carbs for almost 2 years, high protein, no fruit, very little veggies...ZERO SUGAR.
Low carb is only helpful for people who had a very bad lifestyle, as you are switching to just a bad lifestyle with keto, which in relative terms, is an improvement. For healthy people lowcarb is not necessary and maybe even outright dangerous.
@@johnsnow5264 Wrong. Low carb (not no carb) is helpful for active people like myself (cycling, hiking, gardening, 2 large active dogs, playing hockey, looking after large 4 acre yard). 6ft/ 190 #'s.
@@ahtoews not sure if your situation is generally applicable. Most studies - and my own experience - show that low carb is not great for many things - quite the opposite. For example, you can't build up glycogen in your muscles with low/no carb, so that is not advantageous for most sports.
Weight loss with more than a little constipation?
@Jesus Negron The opposite, used to be prediabetic. No meds at age 54...162 pounds now.
Exceptional! I've been following the LCHF diet for a few months now. My high blood pressure and high levels of compact, small LDL cholesterol have gone back to perfect levels, I have lost almost all access weight, and I feel great!
Marco Scholtz Stop lying you meat industry shill, how much did they paid you tell me ?
Well done to you, you are wise.
I've been doing the same for a few weeks now and I'm down 15 pounds! 25 more to reach my goal!
Marco Scholtz,
You could be making the biggest of your life.
RUclips: "Nina Teicholz debunked."
Her Book is Great. I highly recommend it. Her research is very robust and the way she rolls out the story makes for an very interesting and fast read. I have been Keto for nearly 5 years and I am the healthiest I've ever been. Praise the Lard!!
Praise the lard indeed hahaha brilliant!
You sir are a genius. I have taken a screen shot and will feature your brilliant "praise the lard" comment in an evolutionary nutrition seminar. :)
Haha -- "Praise the Lard." I'll have to use that, I've been LCHF for 7 years.
Lol! We are the lard truthers
Lol, praise the "lard" 😂
There's a lot of arguing here, but I think there are some basic rules that everyone can follow.
- Avoid processed foods
- Avoid added sugars
- Dump soft drinks
- Drink more water
- Eat plenty of vegetables
That would take us a long way. The rest is up for debate.
Avoid trans fats, chemicals and pesticides in foods
Our carnivore friends would disagree about the vegetables.
Shaza Maza Are you kidding me? Bacon is loaded with nitrosamines that are the preservative used. Nitrosamines are carcinogenic, which means they cause cancer. Then on top of that people brown their bacon which causes the animal flesh to become carcinogenic on its own and double the cancer causing Effects.Sorry but you are completely wrong and I know you love your bacon but you’re out of luck there
GuntherL1 This is all true. Keto is a fad. Eat whole foods and you’ll be healthy. Period.
So true! You can eat what ever you wish and still be healthy as long as it's within these boundaries:
- no added refined carbs or fats
- gives you a large amount of vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals per calorie of food
- low levels of added salts
- no chemical preservatives, coloring or other chemical additives.
And provided you exercise to challange your lungs, heart and muscles a couple of minutes every day.
...which sadly means: you can only buy like 10-20% of the "food" in the supermarkets...
I get particularly concerned when I see the CDC putting out curriculum for pre-Diabetes and Diabetes prevention that promotes very incorrect nutrition information, dated from the era of the Food Pyramid which basically pushes carbs as central to the diet.
thanks for the good vibes, Molly!
My pleasure. Grateful for the breadth of info available to us.
Unfortunately, when it comes to type II diabetes, people just can't trust the medical community or the government. The whole system is corrupt. The doctor will only talk about which drug you should take, which is likely to just make it worse.
Carbs SHOULD be central. Your brain is as dated as this pyramid...
goku nope carbs are not an essential nutrient
I'm surprised TED didn't try to censor this!
The keto fad will be exposed as an outright dangerous diet. Atkins is probably one of the biggest food charlatans of the century. These detrimental diet promoters should be made liable for the damage they cause.
John Snow - what?
@@johnsnow5264 "keto fad will be exposed as an outright dangerous diet"
Great reminder not to rollover and simply accept the allegedly scientific claims pushed by politicians in their unending pursuit to make you weak, fearful and dependent. Bravo Nina!
Exactly they oppose our best interests
Great comment! And so true!
Fantastic talk and amazing book. The science is absolutely spot on, and the insights on the background politics are superb. Guidelines have ignored decades of excellent science, as if it doesn't exist. But the tide is starting to turn.
+andrewmente to mortality
Excellent speech. So many years later from this presentation and there is still so many people not willing to accept the truth.
Vaughn Malecki yes why is that do you think...
@@brightonketochihuahuas1059 Why?
This presentation was completely unscientific. If you check her sources, they completely fall apart.
She forgot to mention that Atkins had a history of heart attack, congestive heart failure and hypertension, and he weighed 258 pounds (117 kilograms) at death (72 yr old). Far cry from Maasai warrior's lean body. Atkins widow refused to allow an autopsy. Would have been a perfect opportunity to prove the sceptics. And just one more minor detail, in many she neglected to share, the life expectancy of the Masai is below 50 years.
El Jefe He wasn't 195 lbs? Are you sure?
Gray Ghost It did not smash any of my theories. If your cholesterol level (LDL) is high, > 150, you chances of CD are increased, this is a hard science (framingham heart study) . Being vegetarian and having a CD is nothing new, as you can eat fried French fries and drink pop and call yourself vegan, even. Bottom line, eat what ever you want, and as long as your LDL is below 150, you are good.....BUT, that is a toll order if your follow Nina's advise.
El Jefe
> If your cholesterol level (LDL) is high, > 150, you chances of CD are increased
False. Your small-LDL-count is strongly positively correlated with your risk of heart attack. Your large LDL count isn't. However, we don't need to measure your small-LDL-count because if your triglycerides are high, you small-LDL is also high -- and your HDL is low. All we need to do to predict with high accuracy your heart attack risk is to measure your triglycerides and HDL, which is handy since that's a lot cheaper than measuring LDL particle size.
> as long as your LDL is below 150, you are good
Prove no one with an LDL count below 150 has ever died of a heart attack -- and please tell us, are you referring to calculated LDL? You are aware, aren't you, that virtually no one has ever had his LDL count measured? Why are you saying people should rely on a number they couldn't possibly know?
hitssquad As I mentioned before please research the framingham heart study and you will see "the below 150 LDL" evidence. As they say, give a bad thing a good name and you have a winner. Hope we can agree to disagree.
El Jefe Well, I happy to say that the people who brought us the food pyramid and plate have now officially said that cholesterol is no longer a constituent of concern. In other words, the scientists said that high cholesterol increased your chance of heart disease have now reversed their opinion based current research. Hallelujah! Science does work!
LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR BOOK. SLOW LISTEN BECAUSE I GET PISSED AND UPSET ... then I come crawling back for me.
Like she said lots of factors involved. When it comes to food it's important to know who you are. If you're allergic to peanuts do not eat them, if allergic to shell fish do not eat them, same applies to any plant.
If a person is insulin resistant or diabetic they are in a sense allergic to carbohydrates, because they over secrete insulin when consuming them. Over secreting insulin causes insulin resistance & diabetes. Therefore these people must restrict eating them.
Plant are not bad for you, meat is not bad for you, nor are animal fats. If you have to process or refine a plant to derive it's oil it's bad for you. Corn does not give up fat without considerable processing & the same is true for most plants.
If you maintain good health on a plant diet fantastic. If you maintain good health on a meat and fat diet fantastic too. Both can be beneficial but again you need to assess and know who you are...
Insulin resistance is believed to begin without any symptoms. Finger stick glucose checks only tell you how your sugar is right now at this moment and A1C testing assess how it's been behaving over the last 90 days. But this tells you very little even if you are without clinical symptoms... yes you could be well on the path of diabetes even if you glucose shows normal right now, even if your A1C is normal right now...
How is this possible? It's because none of the normal testing looks to see how much insulin you secrete per gram of carbohydrate. If you secrete more than nondiabetics you're on the insulin resistance road to diabetes, heart disease etc. Too much insulin causes this awful disease. The only way to attack the cause is to reduce insulin within the body while controlling blood sugar via a sugar starving diet approach.
This can be achieved by:
1. Eating plant foods low in carbs
2. Eating protein foods, naturally low in carbs
3. Eating fats which have literally no carbs
4. Eat a combination of 1-3; but still restrictions carbs to less than 50g a day.
3 weeks ago, I started a ketogenic diet to address diabetes I was diagnosed with after having a defective heart valve replaced that I was born with. I've been trying to get off Insulin ever since, without success. Even with insulin 5 times or more a day injecting 130+ units my blood sugars still remained abnormally high averages with spikes well over 300 (normal is between 80-120).
Within days of switching to 70-75% fat, 15-20% protein, & 5 to 10% carbohydrate (usually dark greens ). My running average glucose is 119, my highest spike 150 in 3 weeks running with great consistency. I'm also seeing the benefits of weight loss despite eating 3k calories a day in the first two weeks and in my 3rd week my appetite is now greatly suppressed as I'm eating the same ratios as above but now between 1k and 1.5k calories per day, so week 3 is showing faster weight loss as compared to my ketogenic adapting in the first two weeks.
I did this diet to help me get off the vicious cycle diabetes puts you in and to counter the dependency to insulin. Insulin makes you fat and your diabetes worse. It's a vicious cycle...
Eat fat, greatly lower carbs. Is my motto to all insulin resistant people...
Very well put, everyone is not the same. Most of us in the paleo/LCHF community understand and respect that. Not all but a large percentage of vegans seem to attack anything that is not in line with their opinion. Almost like religious zeal.
I'm glad to read that you are aware of insulin resistance. If you havent already, I would encourage you to read "Why We Get Sick" by Benjamin Bikman.
*No need to eat plant foods at all*
I find her book really interesting, and a lesson in how powerful people get their own way is one way to look at it.
Thank god I figured this out before having kids so I’m not poisoning my newborn with fruit and vegetable purée while my baby is actually starving. THANK GOD ... now I’m even more excited to have children and I was already pretty excited.
Brilliant!! We need more leaders who question these things and seek truth! 🙏🏻❤️
Your "risk of dying"? 100%
Hi Nina, Aarron here from Helensville, New Zealand where's it's 5:00 pm, with your help I've identified what Dr Eric Berg describes as a concept worthy of a Nobel Prise. I'm sure how or why I stumbled on it and it's a concept so simple that all your viewers will want to tune at around in 7 hours time - midnight local time.
I can say without a doubt Dr Eric Berg saved my life…. Down 57 pounds and off all meds!
Great book, superb research. proves that FAT is a most vital component of a balanced diet.
thank you so much
lady that does her research
Well i think she did a good job.Thumbs up.
Thank you for doing your in-depth research into the data underpinning popular nutrition assumptions.
She talks like a true scientist, not those who claim to be scientists today. Question, question, question... question everything.
And for you old-timers, you will remember Doctors were used to advertise CIGARETTES back in the 1960s. What's that tell you.
It tells me she is pushing cigarettes.
I like this talk. Thank you Nina.
@nature2ruleshe might be smart, but she is wrong on the science
Thank you so much for this information and the comments. Who knew all of the oils had an affect like this! And it's in pretty much everything....
Love you Nina💗
...she mentioned that the groep that got all these soy products got a much higher cancer rate. ... since soy is playing a growing role in food generally cancer rates are growing... even if you eat no soy you get it anyway because chicken (eggs) are fed with soy and the meat industry is fed with soy
Not organic grass fed pasture raised animals....
Thank You for crediting Dr Atkins for his great contribution and his ability to stand by his convictions. What a great man.
I think we can tell who pays her salary.
+lyncap99 I think we can tell youre a vegan
Love your overview logic with trusting what you see.
Really good information on a subject that more people need to know about! It's past time we re-examine Keys' work and use actual, science that hasn't been cherry picked to determine our dietary guidelines.
There must be a balance in the diet using different foods and ingredients. I myself after hearing about the disadvantages of the animal saturated fats didn't use them for a long time but I had problems about my being active in work and feeling good. Then I again started using animal fats and now I feel younger and stronger and healthier than before. I everyday Eat about 60 grams of animal butter. I also exercise everyday about half an hour and at noon and in the afternoons I eat some fruits and veges. believe me I feel younger than before. Do not exaggerate about anything. Animal fats are good. Fruits are good and veges are excellent too.
Straight from the Seinfeld script,... "I think I see,... A NIPPLE" !
I eat everything that I think is tasty... I'm not so hard on myself. And if I get a little fat... I eat a little less.
literally no one was eating anything at all during the immediate post-war time back in 50s in japan.
Sorry to say, Jonathan, that I eat loads of meat, port fat...and no signs of cholesterol triglyceride. Same with mu granpa who died at 96 eating pure pork fat and wine for breakfast. It´s t rue that I eat everything, fruits, bvegetebales, legumes, fish....Fat is not bad
In 4th grade we learn how to measure linear, volume and weight. Weighing our food and eating 32 ounces of food a day would revolutionize eating too much and eating too little.
nutrition has a huge impact on our way of thinking.
Just thinking out loud... Hong Kong has the highest life expectancy in the world and yet the diet is high in saturated fats, fatty meats, high in sodium, lots of fried foods, sugary foods, large consumption of white rice...
You are missing that this a time delayed phenomenon. Those who have come to an old age were eating mostly plant-based. The new generation eating all that toxic meat will have a shorter life.
@@johnsnow5264 exact opposite, old people used to eat mostly animal food because fruits, for example, were too much expensive.
@@TheFate23 where do you live? In northern Siberia?
@@johnsnow5264 Europe. Where did you read that in the past people used to eat mostly plants? it's pure fantasy.
@@TheFate23 Its pure science that humans were predominantly herbivores for most of the last 2 million years. Meat is unhealthy for most people.
You should double check fruit vs meat prices. In my supermarket 1kg of apples cost 1 €, I kg of chicken 8 €. Not sure why in your country meat is cheaper than fruit.
Lovely lady.
Hi, love your video, thanks for the clarity. I have a question though: you mention in the intro that heart diseases in the US rose from almost no-cases in the 19-teens to become an enormous public-health issue in 50s. What according to you caused this huge increase? This was way before any misguided dietary recommendations. Thanks for clarifying.
The explosion in use of industrial vegetable oils appears to be linked to high rates of heart disease
If your diet works for you. Do it. If you feel like crap find out why.
Simples ..... Kick into the long grass the refined carbs and processed foods , eat the meat and eat the veg .
I like how conversational this felt. Thank you for the information.
I found your video on Pronto Therapy Folio - there are many useful videos there that may help out
I tell you the truth.... If you exert vigorously, your heart pumps at limits, your body starts reacting at different levels at the same time. This includes harmonal, chemical levels.. And body really starts trying to reverse the heart & cholesterol problems. Thats why misai warriors (who actually keep themselves on toes really fast every day) & other athletes and runners who test vo2 max levels every day tend to have better control over the issues
People should listen to Vinnie "no sugars no grains" Tortorich
He speaks sense!
Yesssss
Citizenthirteen keep eating the processed high glucose diet then.
BRILLIANT TALK!!
Thank you.
Excellent presentation!!
I think we should all sue the usda.
I think we should all sue those liars from the keto low carb cult.
@@johnsnow5264, Dr. Ken D. Berry has lots and lots of YT videos extolling the benefits and virtues of a keto diet. Have you seen them? He cites recent research. Is he wrong?
@@KenJackson_US Do you really think that such a restricted, unnatural diet can be good for the average person?
@@johnsnow5264 Do you think today's unnatural food can be good for the average person?
- We consume 10x the sugar we did in the 50's
- Fruit today has 5x the sugar content
- Wheat today contains 42 extra chromosomes.
The only thing I think matters is our evolved genes from our ancestors and adapted that to our environment. And listen to your body everyday. The global longevity study, blue zones, identify centenarians in 5 hot spots around the world and found that their diets vary, mainly plant based but semi-vegetarians except Sardinians which is not even plant based. The 3 common denominators out of 6 all have to do with emotional state and family. None go to the gym except meaningful, everyday chores that kept them active. My spouse and I are very typical of that. We're both Asians from different countries, I love vegetables, abhor blood-smelling meat since 3, while the opposite with her. We both became first vegans for the principle of non-violence since 1989, 27 years ago. Then becoming harder to lose that belly fat due to high carb consumption. She suffered a catastrophic stroke 10 years ago due to overwork and heavy sweet consumption. 2013 we discovered Ketogenic Diet (imagine Ketogenic with no meat, some doctors even said that's an oxymoron) and both went on it. she lost 40 lbs within a 3 months period, all main index improved like miracles ( A1C, triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL) while I struggled so hard with it bc I abhor the smell of eggs which we added. She slipped off it 2 times and every time if she went back on it same miracle happened. We now hardly eat grains, a lot of good oils, cheese, eggs and dark green veggi while still can stick with our Non-violence principle which make us feel meaningful. So I think diet do matter, macro-nutrients do count but it has to be tailored made to your upbringings, your sensitivity and tolerance level and most importantly your spiritual, emotional well-beings bc we a tri-state being, not just physical. Thanks for posting the inspiring talk.
Great story. Most people don't seem to understand the Blue Zones, that it's much more than diet. So many other factors used there. Hope your family's health continues to be well.
Great topic. Interesting Facts. I have ordered the book, hope its written better than she presents! What are her qualifications?
Good edit!
Lifehack: watch it at 2x playback. She says "uh" and "um" a lot. Just read the captions and listen
I just pulled up a transcript and regretted it immensely. Still, it was a better option than suffering through the video.
kow picard ?
Who cares?
I probably would have been worse. Speaking in front of a crowd and being recorded live for the forever internet can be nerve-racking. Thankfully, she still presented the information well enough to make a good ted talk
Go Nina!
Great video and a wonderful book.
Great talk!!!
I support updated science.
All these Vegans and sugar addicts say this idea is against science or some other excuse, however, have you actually tried it yourself? I have eaten high carb/low fat/moderate protien, the standard american diet before then, and also low carb/high fat, and the high fat diet made me feel much better, lose weight, improve blood pressure and blood cholesterol. I felt the worst on the "science backed" dietary guidelines of less fat and more "heart healthy" grains/sugars. I believe what she says is true, and data and science (that has been buried by food industry pressure) backs it up, all the way back to the 40s. Sugar is highly addicting and causes people to eat more and is more cheaply/easily packaged into commercial food products. This is why companies such as Kellogs, Nestle, Kraft, Kroger, Coca-Cola, and many, many more not only attempt to prove an anti-fat/anti-meat hypothesis through funding biased "studies", they also bully the real scientists out of their careers. Just look up John Yudkin.
Jacob F - 6’2 195… I gave up sugar and lost 13 pounds in 15 days…I am age 55.
What would a example day of eating look like?
I just finished watching a ted talk which told me to eat only starch carbs, now she tells me carbs are bad (but gives no evidence as to why) Look to the right and you probably see at least 4 videos contradicting this view and contradicting each other. It makes sense that the body works well eating natural foods, foods that our bodies thrived on for the 8 million years of our evolution. Health problems started to rise when we started changing the chemical structure of foods into something our bodies don't recognize and don't know how to process. E.g. Processed foods, chemical additives, animal foods with hormones.
I was vegan for 10 years and I suffered a ischemic stroke. Dr said I did not have enough healthy fats. I stoped being a vegan and I stopped being a full blown vegan. I eat some meats now, and coconut oil, butter and ghee--i.e., BulletProff Coffee, putting fats back into my diet.
How are you doing now?
Fat, especially virgin plant based saturated fats, is the only macronutrient between protein, carbohydrate, and fat, that does not feed cancer cells or raise blood sugar much after ingestion. I am thankful that I can find all the saturated fat I want and need on a vegan diet namely from virgin coconut oil, virgin palm oil (West African) as well as shea and cocoa butters and coconut butter and avocados. Love these fats and eat them as much as I can when I can.
***** I think you mean that no amount of carbohydrates are required for a healthy human diet. You need fats, you need proteins, you do NOT need carbohydrates. I know I fair pretty poorly without fats as I would be prone to more infections and the like. But if a diet without saturated fats works for you, good for you. That's not the case for me. Good day.
***** You're more than entitled to your opinion however wrong it may be and waste more time spinning your wheels going on about things you THINK you know but really don't. I know what works for me, I've tried the low fat route without any saturated fats regardless of source and did not much care for the results. Regarding the link you posted, I go to that site often and unlike you, I take care to read everything there with a grain of salt and question everything. As I said before, if a diet devoid of all saturated fats works for you, great, it didn't for me which is why I am going to stick to consuming plant based saturated fats along with protein. I do agree that animal fat should not be a part of anyone's diet, though.
***** What I'm saying can be verified as well. As I said, do what works for you while I do what works for me. There are people who died of cardiovascular disease and yet their arteries were full of PUFAS or polyunsaturated fatty acids and you can feel free to look this up on various articles on pubmed and other publications. There are vegans who seriously considered going back to eating animal foods until they added some plant based virgin saturated fats in their diets and have done much better and were able to comfortably and safely stay vegan. At the end of the day what really matters is what actually works for an individual.
***** By Dr. McDougal and other medical health professionals. The statement I posted in my initial comment came from one of their presentations. If you don't like what was said or written, I suggest you take it up with them as that is where I got it from.
***** I suggest you look them up. I am not going to do that work for you. At this time, I am only concerned about what works for a person.
It's the type of carb. Processed carbs in the long run affect insulin sensitive people. The efficient storers of fat. If over weight you cut them out and lose weight. Just eat real whole foods. And don't graze. Insulin sensitive people who graze keep that blood sugar high and in turn maintain high insulin so that they are always storing excess energy as fat.
Medical research isn't science it's medicine researched. Every university in the world has a faculty of science and medicine isn't tough in any of them.
Great info. I love new information about outdated old information. Good speech!
You are awesome, Nina. Thank you. The book is also great and changed my life.
I'm surprised TED didn't take this video down like Mikhaila's.
Just dub over this debate replacing "saturated fat" with "carbon emissions" and "health" with "global warming" and you have the "climate science" industry explained (from the perspective of vested interest, I should say - various diets and lifestyles can be healthy in combination, there's no "one size fits all").
a very confused lecture. i did not manage to understand what she is after, even though she seems to indicate she knows something others do not.
+Adva Weinerman she's after your wallet.
***** Considering she just spouted a lot of bullshit and mentioned her book so you buy it, yes she is.
Try searching for talks by Dr.Pninney. He is among those who do a much better job explaining the concepts and practice - and has been on a ketogenic (super low carb, high fat) diet for over a decade now. Not trying to 'push' it, but he explains it more clearly, and his talks are never boring.
All she is after is money.
Well, I know she was a vegan for years and had to stop.
Here she is showing the Swiss cheese cloth of claims against meat and the fact that for years and years no one told anyone that processed vegetable oils are poisonous.
Whyyyyy no one told me about keto before? I feel it was like a well kept secret.... and the medical field failed me..... but 2018 is the year I change my life
Carla de Souza and Can you really stick to such a limited diet forever? I doubt it. It is not healthy over the long-term.
Whyyyyy did* no one tell* me about keto before.
I lost 60 pounds with Keto, LCHF, NSNG, all those helped me. And that weight is not going to come back. I still have about 30 to lose. Will attack that after the New Year. Good luck! You can do this.
maria G yes it is
maria G if its healthy now its healthy long term!
kudos!
She picks apart the previous studies but she does not support her hypothesis. What are these recent studies? The 7th Day Adventist live about 10% longer than average and they restrict their animal meat. I like Walter Willett's recommendations, the Mediterranean Diet is a good place to start, avoid simple carbs, consume good fats.
you studied this for 10 years yet you make no mention of Weston Price nor the origins of the movie ShangriLa (spelling?) ?
Lots of opinions have been noted below, both plus and minus, regardless you have to admit she is passionate about her subject, look at the top of her dress! That indicates excitement and passion. There will never be a consensus about all the right foods to eat. Live with it. Figure out what your body needs and go for it, but crass comments and sarcasm never convinced anyone of anything.
I think this is the best comment on this talk. Listen to your body! Thank you!
Wtf
doctor in staten island. throwing left and right hooks at the age of 87. ill stick to that example and play it safe
I blame Dobbey the House Elf for our dietary guidelines. The other panelists should have given him a sock and sent him on his way.
Check out the YT talks by Dr. Steven Phinney for more clear and in-depth info on this topic.
Thanks!
thanks
Other speakers with excellent talks on RUclips on the topics of fat phobia and the role of fat, meat, and dairy products in a healthy diet include Dr. Tim Nokes and Jeff Volek PhD - including talks on the practical aspects of eating a Very Low Carb High Fat diet, and burning fat instead of carbs.
'Paleopathology and the Origins of the Paleo Diet' is another interesting talk highlighting 'CSI' type techniques that were used to examine ancient human remains, including mummies, and compare the effects of different diets on the health of people who lived thousands of years ago.

When your grabbing your chest and pass out remember all this.
Good stuff!! Great to get the info out there! Shame about the agro vegans below!
Joy Joyjen vegans are funny.
She has the paleo diet up there with the vegan diet and says everyone agrees saturated fat is thought to be bad? Isn't fat being good kind of the basis for the paleo diet?
This is the exact same info as Gary Taube's "Good Calories, Bad Calories." I wonder who published first.
what an interesting woman.
She's right with the way studies are manipulated but i was still waiting till the end for some scientific arguments for the "fat" diet. Fat Louisa was obviously a exception, otherwise she would be just called Lousia :) Nina Teicholz is a journalist with interested promoting her book, of corse there has to be truth behind that. But we have almost vegan Indogen folks and almost carnivore Indogen folks both being perfectly healthy as examples.
All these smart doctors should put their heads together and develop a test system that enables each individual to determine their optimal diet. Get on with it nerds!
It should be mentioned that the Masai, and other people eating an animal based diet, valued organ meats and fat over muscle meat. Predators also tend to eat the organs and the fat from their prey first, and may leave a lot of the muscle meat from a large kill, especially if prey is plentiful.
Even among Americans and in Europe not long ago, organ meats were valued for their health-giving properties, and for flavor. Blood pudding was something eaten by the ancestors of Americans whose families came from the UK, along with lots of dairy products. If you go back a blink-of-an-eye ago in human history, most of those meat animals and the milk were nearly or 100% 'grassfed', raised on pasture and fed hay in winter. We now know that there are a number of benefits to pasture-fed meats over feedlot and grainfed meats. For instance, an analysis of pastured chickens from River Cottage in England showed 10 times as much Omega 3 than the chickens from the grocery store. Omega 3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids and must be part of the diet, as the human body cannot make them. Among other things, Omega 3s are important for brain development and brain health.
Note: the Omega 3 fatty acids found in just a few plant sources are reportedly not an equal substitute with animal sources- eggs, meat, and dairy products from pastured animals, and fish (if one can find uncontaminated fish).
Meant to also mention that predators will eat away the udder of a lactating female to get every last drop of milk in the mammary glands. They will sometimes leave the rest of the animal, depending on how hungry they are, how many in a pack, availability of food, etc. This is probably the source of those 'alien dissection' stories and photos.
Journalist better than scientific institutes. You don’t have to be a scientist to assess evidence or lack there of, just common sense and nothing to lose (not even a few pounds)
Great video . and she´s gorgeous , oh that´s for sure ...
Ancestral diets had (have) a wide range of macronutrient mix - all with less western-based chronic complex disease. I believe most would agree that the quality of the food ie, whole and non-processed trumps the % macronutrient composition. Fats and carbs can be healthy based on the source or woeful e.g. processed carb-dense foods and omega-6 vegetable oils. I strongly feel individuals need to "experiment" with what works best for them...the N=1, the ultimate study of self-care. Most will find improvements as they shift from processed to whole foods. Grass-fed butter and red meats? Sign me up. Refined grain-based flours and vegetable oils? No longer. Growing evidence would suggest chronic complex disease and their underlying metabolic roots e.g. inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, impaired detoxification to be byproducts of "new to nature foods" and the microbiome - gut ecosystem. Highly recommend Ian Spreadbury's great 2012 review of carbohydrate dense foods. Mark Pettus MD
There are those who posit that different people have different metabolisms and thus we are not all the same in our reactions to macronutrient percentages. (Metabolic typing) This might explain why some people comment that they do great as vegans while others say their health has changed for the better eating more fat and meat. What do you think?
I believe that is true and suspect that both genetic-epigenetic variation as well as individual variation in our microbiome has much influence on our response to various foods and their macronutrient mix.
Follow those guidelines six days a week... live a good life!

An excellent book - very well researched: convincing.
perfect
Except humans, there are no balanced diets. There never has been in the history of the world.
