“I do know this, I was on keto for 5+ years and I loved it. Then I had a heart attack which I attribute to the animal proteins and high fats. Now I am following the Ornish lifestyle, which is four parts but includes plant based, low fat, and low sugar.” juilstahl
Another great episode!! Thanks so much for all you do to bring SCIENCE based research and truth to the forefront. You can tell you put a lot of hard work into your episodes.
I'm going to mention this again. I lowered my cholesterol by more than a hundred point by diet alone. It's now been two years since I first saw a number under 180. I had a cholesterol over 280. Statins didn't reduce my cholesterol more than twenty points. Eating less meat and more vegetables made the change.
I was surprised when Dr. Levy said so emphatically that you cannot get the lowering by diet alone that you can get from statins. Some people seem to be able to, like you. 👏
@@Viva-Longevity Yes, I think it would be a very common result if people just did it. But I think Dr. Levy meant that people are not willing to do it with diet.
In my case, cholesterol was always fine, but I had a blood pressure of over 220 systolic. Changing my diet (which only became possible after I found a way of eating that did not make me miserable) allowed me to lose well over 60 kg and lower my blood pressure to around 110 systolic. Weight loss was almost certainly the cause, but that loss was made possible by diet, in combination with willpower (another dirty word these days).
What a great video! I love your sincere enthusiasm and appreciation during your interviews. It shows how much you know and respect the work of the researchers you have the opportunity to talk with. I like the historical tidbits that are need to me. And showing the antique equipment they had to work on. I also love seeing the environment and equipment seen in the old documentary on the China study found in RUclips. Makes you appreciate their work even more. Even if i knew the history of analytical instrumentation and computers already. Knowing something in theory (and therefore inevitably in abstraction) and seeing it in actual reality are two different things. However I think yours are partially a Sisyphean labour. When the influencers in question doesn't even know the very basics about their topic and simply dismiss things they haven't even read it heard about. They won't change their opinion they built their livelihood on whatever the case may be. They may continue to say it all comes down to genetics. Maybe some strong or different kinds of people can survive the plants but most not. Or is all fake data. They say what their followers want to hear. Of course more open minded and analytical people appreciate your work. And all three carnivores you have actually managed to convince in the last couple of years.
Thank you for devoting your time, effort, and knowledge to bring us content like this. This channel is doing a lot of good for our collective health and the health of the planet.
The reason that they won’t do studies on the carnivore diet is because big pharmaceutical can’t make any money off of it. It would bring down their bottom dollar if everybody was off seven different prescription medication’s like I am and it would save the planet. My carbon footprint is down over 25% just from not having to take diabetes medication not to mention the other five medication‘s that I no longer have to take.
Love your channel and videos so much. Thank you for teaching us all and giving us ammo to talk about these topics which have sadly become controversial and wildly misrepresented. Your channel and expertise is so needed in a sea of misinformation.
Meat had affected me personally because my Dad isn't allowed to drive anymore (in his mid seventies) because of dementia. He had gone his whole life eating a lot of meat and few vegetables other than salads. He wouldn't eat the skin of his baked potatoes, and we had criticized him for that. Vegetarian grandmother was mentally still sharp as a tack into her nineties.
“I was on KETO for 2 years. I lost weight and my blood sugars and A1C went down but then…. My blood sugar numbers started going up along with my weight and my A1C went from a 5.1 to 5.7. I decided to go plant based because that's what I was before but I wasn’t doing it the correct way. This time I did it with no fat/low fat. My A1C went down to 5.1. My fasting blood sugar is 77 and I’m eating more carbs than ever before. I trust Cyrus and Robby!” fredsj
It's disheartening that the passion and dedication of genuine scientists often go unrecognized. These incredible individuals dedicate their work and love to the greater good, yet many people dismiss their contributions in favor of having their egos boosted by quacks. This tendency to overlook real expertise in favor of self-serving pseudo-science is truly saddening.
@@lynnritchie231 That's a funny thing to say as there are many super food cake recipes out there. It mostly only takes a cake to be gluten free, vegan and contain some 'superfood' ingredients to achieve superfood cake status, it seems. There are also actual studies claiming eating candy is good for your health. You would have never guess the sponsorship of studies like this in a million years, however. 🙃 So you don't have to wait, that day have arrived long before today. And superfood isn't a proper term, only a marketing and social media gimmick. There are more 'superfoods' out there are care to count and new ones are proclaimed all the time.
@@4124V4TA-SNPCA-x I eat superfoods every day, except that no one calls them that. They are called, beans, lentils, grains, onions, carrots, cabbage, tomatoes, and much more. "super" reminds me of "premium". Both meaningless terms that only indicate that they are more expensive than they should be.
@@BartBVanBockstaele Agreed. Which is exactly why the non scientific marketing term was invented in the first place. To jack up prices and demand. For example I'd just eat a tad bit more grapes than gojis, thank you. Grapes have less sugar than goji berries anyway. Grapes also have less dietary covers and somewhat less vitamin C but legumes and oats and psyllium do exists. Other berries and paprika and citruses more than cover that. Basically most whole foods can be considered super anyway. (Of course I also eat gojis when they are available at a discount because varietas delectat.) Cabbage that you have mentioned relatively lately became superfood and sauerkraut is fashionable in the US. My ancestors have already ate those for millennia, thank you. One needs a super diet and lifestyle, not trendy food trends.
One of your best productions! Normally you jump around in videos and make it challenging to follow. However you are always well thought out and very factual! Thank you!
I'm not seeing it. Flat earthers can actually point to something that looks true (even though I believe for the majority of them, they're FEs "because bible") Outside of the small number of carnivore dieters helped by excluding some unidentified allergy, the only reason to be carnivore is taste preference. flat earhers: argument from "looks like the truth" carnis: argument from "tastes good"
@@GBOAC But how can they not be? Even the name is RAPEseed!!!1!4!! And seeds in itself! Didn't you know? Pepper and mustard and walnut kills you! Haven't you read it seem any adaptation of "Day of the Triffids"?!?!?? That's another proof. Or "The thing from another world"? Carrots are here to kill and suck out all your blood!!! / 😅😂
They ARE flat earthers. Im not even kidding. I debate these people all day long on my channels. They are DENIERS THROUGH AND THROUGH. They are pathogen deniers. they believe FLAT EARTH, DINOSAURS ARE FAKE, SPACE IS FAKE, MOUNTAINS ARE GIANT TREE STUMPS, TARTARIAN MUDFLOODS WIPED OUT THE GIANTS, etc etc e
I'm sure all the thousands (millions?) of people who have regained their health from switching to carnivore are absolutely devastated to hear what you think.
The reason people follow those social media people that put out content that may not be true, is because they are saying what they want to hear. People don't really want to know the truth unless it fits into their narrative.
Exactly. Majority of people lack discipline and are hedonistic, self-indulgent and self-serving. If you tell them to continue to do what they have been doing for years and that is not YOU who is the problem but imaginary "evil doctors/bill gates/government" - you are their savior. In the case of doctors who promote quasi carnivore diet, they only ask you to remove "veggies" - something that these people haven't been eating at all or were eating in very small quantities. It becomes even easier. They will just go to one isle and grab some corpses - no thought given. Slap some bombastic words, such as "grass fed/humanely abused" - and they will dish out money feeling good about the bad thing.
The platform providers (or "content curators") are also to blame for that. Once you click a few of those videos you will almost exclusively get recommended videos/content creators that follow the same theme. Being trapped in such a bubble not only reinforces ignorance, it convinces people that they know the truth™ even though they know very little and a lot of it is misinformation.
@@roberthutchins3435 While it may appear to be that simple at the surface, it is not true. There are plenty of instances where people change their mind given the right information even though they wanted to believe the opposite. I myself struggled with some false beliefs for years. Especially those we're brought up with and surrounded by are hard to shake off.
Those "influencers", whom are actually doctors with decades of experience, saved my life. Plants, specifically fibre put me in hospital twice. You're the one who is ignorant of the truth.
Yet another facinating and very educational video. Here in Denmark we have a saying: "Empty barrels rumble the loudest". Your quietly insisting on the facts is just so inspiering, and I am very grateful for your work.
Havent watched this one yet but just wanted to comment to remind that I adore your channel and am looking forward to your hour-long videos cause I know they're gonna be packed with interesting stuff
Thanks! I sweated over this one because the interview alone with Dr. Levy was over an hour; when I threw parts of it overboard (usually because I asked a lame question), then I would question myself about that decision... 🤷
PLANT-BASED DIETS AND CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH: A REVIEW (2018) - This review, conducted by Satija and Hu, discusses the cardiovascular benefits of plant-based diets. It reports that replacing animal proteins with plant proteins can lead to positive changes in BMI, reduced inflammation, and lower risks of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) by improving endothelial function and reducing blood pressure.
What you said at 54:03, along with your dead pan look, had me in stitches. 🤣 Seriously though, I am so grateful to you for interviewing Dr. Levy along with so many other amazing scientists. You make a huge difference in the lives of my family of four. Thank you! 🙂
Yippee! Another great Plant Chompers video interview of a great scientist. I listened to every minute of it, something I haven't been able to do with most videos these days.
Can you do a series on sugar substitutes: artificial sweeteners; sugar alcohols; alternative sugars with low GI/GL (e.g. monk fruit, stevia)? And, can you also do one on the various types of saturated fats?
@@justinw1765 I can tell you that, at least in theory, erythritol is the safest to use. Very little of it goes to the liver or gets converted to glycogen, which means it has very little impact on your liver and blood sugar. Sucralose, monk fruit and Stevia are also similarly safe. Caveat: everyone is different so your experience may vary from this. One video I watched of a couple testing the impact of these products on their blood sugar actually experienced a slight DECREASE in blood sugar using monk fruit. Stick with those and, unless you start having problems (check side effect info), you should be good. I still want Chris to do videos on this stuff. I can tell you from personal experience that erythritol is weakly sweet and many sweeteners that use it are similarly not that sweet. I was able to find sucralose in a 20x form, and you only need to use a tiny amount to sweeten your consumables, although I didn't feel it was necessarily really 20x.
Fantastic episode Chris! All your episodes are exceptionally well done to the point they are becoming works of reference! I thoroughly enjoy how you interview the seminal organizations and scientists to uncover the absolute truth. Much to your credit, I've never heard you call a youtube spinmeister a "Big fat liar" 🙂.
One thought that immediately came to mind just now (& I'm only at the 4:23 mark into this excellent video ) is this: that the naturally occurring pesticides in plants are probably usually like d-limeonene, the pesticide found in oranges. I would wager that many work mechanically rather than as chemical neurotoxins. D-limonene works mechanically. Many synthetic pesticides work as chemical neurotoxins, which is why pests are able over time to adapt and build up resistance. Insects -- as far as I know -- cannot build resistance to something that dissolves their exoskeletons, nor against suffocation, or sharp microscopic particles that enter their digestive systems, as Diamataceous Earth or borates operate. But then there is naturally occurring pyrethrin in chrysanthemum, which does operate chemically rather than mechanically, and is a neurotoxin, and will elicit adaptive resistance . But even it in its natural form degrades much quicker than the synthetic permethrin, and I would think is less dangerous to humans, though still quite deadly. And there are other very deadly, natural compounds in the botanical world. So i am not a scientist, and would love to learn more. But again. I find most of the arguments that "edible plants are trying to kill us" hilarious!😂
That's true. On the suffocation: But several insects and even more other arthropoda, mainly arachnida can stand suffocation for an awful long time. We don't know exactly how some spiders do it but it is breath taking. (Sorry for the pun.)
Natural pesticides in plants are also plant polyphenols - the compounds associated with inflammatory reduction and overall reductions in disease risk. Organic produce have more polyphenols than non-organic because the agricultural pesticides cause the plant not to produce its own pesticides, which also happen to be one of the healthiest parts of plants that make their nutritional profile unique.
@@4124V4TA-SNPCA-x , I use clove oil a lot to kill both insects and arachnids. I'm not sure the mechanism, but had assumed it was suffocation. Recently was unable to get much effect with bed bugs with clove, but then did a search online and found a study where d-limonene performed well, so I switched to that and BOOM! It slaughtered them, which for a vegan was ironically extremely gratifying. They die almost immediately and I've completely eliminated the infestation that had bothered me for weeks. I believe the nervous systems of bugs are rather rudimentary compared to those in the higher strata, like kittens(!!) & puppies(!). So logically speaking, the more complex the nervous system, the more the creature feels emotion. 😻
Tastes are malleable. People get used to eating things that taste horrible( hard liquor for example.) Likewise we can adapt to eating unprocessed plants. I personally do not like oil after a decade of leaving it behind. I get my healthy fats in small amounts from whole plant foods such as nuts, seeds and avocados. Other plants have modest amounts of fat in them as well. There is no need to pour oil into snd onto our food. The notion that we need it for food to taste good is just untrue. I think saying that things need to taste good to have a sustainable way of eating requires a more nuanced explanation. We get used to eating things and tastes shift. Also we are hard wired to like sweet, fat and salt and there can be a drive to overeat those things. Highly palatable meats, dairy, refined flours, sugar and oil can become addictive. Food can taste very good in a whole food plant based diet without crossing into hyper-palatability. One undeniable drawback of oil in our society is that the vast majority of Americans are overweight or obese. That alone is good reason to eliminate a refined item that is so calorie dense. Furthermore, over half of the country lives paycheck to paycheck. 40% don’t even have $400 in the bank for an emergency. Oil is not in any way necessary for health or palatability. That money spent on oil would be better spent on beans, rice, fruit and vegetables.
And I love the ease of clean up since not using oil. I know our digestive processes has its own mechanism for breaking down food but I've often wondered how similar oil clogging the kitchen drain is to it clogging our arteries.
I agree with you overall, except that hard liquor doesn't taste good. Hard liquors, hard spirits and high alcohol content aperitifs and digestivs all taste great. I liked them when I first tried them as a child. So did with wine and beer. But I may be in the minority. It is a matter of taste I think. Comparable to liking overly bitter or overly sour drinks and food.
@@longevitycoach1573 But you don't even know how to debate. You're going to present information from non-credible sources. You're going to present anecdotal evidences. You're going to present non-peer reviewed research. What's the point of debating an idiot?
UK BIOBANK STUDY: Looked at 300 people following a low carbohydrate high fat (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.
Chris...thank you for continuing to fight the good fight. You certainly have your work cut out for you. When you suggest to someone that it's not healthy to continue to stimulate their dopamine in a way that they have been programmed to believe is not only their age-old tradition, but a strong glue holding together their social structure, then you have a real fight on your hands. Chris...you're the best!
Lovely interview. A great reminder that science is about facts, and that whether we like it or not, reality is what the facts are, not what we would prefer it to be. And yes, diet alone can do wonders. The price to pay is that no one wants to even contemplate eating with me. But, my life is **my** life, not theirs. And... I enjoy my diet, even if I only spend a few minutes in the kitchen every day. The Framingham study can be credited with part of that improvement of my life. I hope they will go on, just as Plant Chompers!
@@bonsummers2657 I would suggest that lack of knowledge about them is what makes people **think** that plant-based diets are less good. People have short memories and don't seem to know how little animal products our recent ancestors actually ate, except for the well-to-do and they happen to have been the ones suffering most from fatness. Fatness isn't the only problem, but it is the most visible thing. Lack of knowledge does not make a dietary pattern less good, but leads to wrongful application and interpretation. And thàt may lead to a wrongful dietary pattern.
@@Cyclone546 Some people are not suicidal and would like to have good quality of life. People like this like to lower their cholesterol because they know that increases the probability they will actually achieve those goals.
Thank you Chris this was brilliant. My girlfriend has one complaint, since I’ve started to watch your videos the amount of books I’m buying has increased a lot! Now I’m reading Ungar “Evolution’s Bite”. Love your suggestions
If humans are vegetarians why are there undigested vegetables in the toilet but all animal products have been completely assimilated? Ask someone with a colostomy bag.
That's indigestible fibre. Also, people that don't chew food properly swallow large chunks of food, i.e., carrots and other hard vegetables and viola. Chunks in the bowl.
The carnivore diet (also called a zero carb diet) is a high-protein fad diet in which only animal products such as meat, eggs, and dairy are consumed. The carnivore diet is associated with pseudoscientific health claims. The Carnivore Diet, is nothing but a TikTok, RUclips and Facebook Food Fad. It’s a diet where people are trying to “talk-it-right”…magical thinking.
The first reason I stopped eating meat was the undeniable cruelty of animal husbandry, the second reason was the undeniable and very significant effect on global warming, third was how illogical it is to feed an animal for months and years only to be consumed in minutes, the last was health. So happy I found this channel, it is the only source I rely on for nutrition.
@@longevitycoach1573so you believe that the carnivore would win 🤔😂. Not a chance. Just watch all of the videos on this channel. There is science behind and not just anecdotes and misinformation....
If the animals weren't eaten (in minutes) then they wouldn't have lived at all. Have you ever done a thought experiment where you could speak to the entirety of cow-kind and say "would you rather all be born and die to be eaten, or never be born at all?" Oblivion is pretty cold.
@@rojodiver3344oh my god. You cannot call that a life how the cows live, or any of the animals killed for food. As a mother I would never want to bring children into the world only to know they will be food and I would have to live on until I don't make enough milk or can't get pregnant anymore only tik become some bad burger....
I'm really surprised potassium hardly ever gets a mention when discussing hypertension and lowering sodium; the two work together with opposite functions. It seems recent literature suggests the ratio is more important than anything, but it's hardly ever discussed. This also undermines the carnivore diet further, considering there's no way you get the potassium you need.
Great point. I think that the Japanese have a relatively high sodium intake, but also tend to eat more potassium than westerners, especially North Americans. If fact, I believe it is possible to over do potassium if you are not getting enough sodium. I have noticed that my salt cravings go up under two conditions: If I sweat a lot, or when I'm eating A LOT of vegetables and fruits with relatively little sodium for awhile. I don't think those temporary cravings are a matter of addiction, like Dr. Goldhamer says *. Like so much in life, it is about balance and moderation. Sodium is not really the devil, or even really a devil. But it can be overdone, especially if not balanced out by potassium. * Speaking of Goldhamer, I agree with a lot of what he says, but even he says some illogical stuff at times. In one interview, in talking about the detrimental effects of sodium and how it is used as a antimicrobial preserver of food, and paraphrased, "just imagine what it is doing to the human body and our gut microbiome..." Well he apparently completely forgot that many traditionally cultured foods are done so in a pretty significant salt brine (and for good reasons). It seems that plenty of probiotic lactic bacteria (that are indigenous to various vegetable surfaces) are just fine with fairly high salt levels, way more than can be found in the human gut or even blood at any given time. Meanwhile, mold and various other pathogenic microbes, don't like the higher salt, which is part of the reason why it is used.
Your channel has fast become my favorite. I look forward to each new video release. They’re so informative and I love how you weave history in. I can’t believe Dr. Lustig gets so much attention. Look how unhealthy he looks. I suspect if you take his BMI that he falls into the obese category. Shouldn’t he know better that saturated fat is not good for us? It’s ironic that medical doctors become the authority on nutrition when they receive little to no education in nutrition.
How do you know saturated fat doesn't have a positive impact on the body? This is why people should be skeptical about every scientific study. ruclips.net/video/1YHnCmkTNME/видео.htmlsi=O3E_NHLeP0-2UYIZ
This was a fascinating episode and interview! I found your channel a few weeks ago and have been watching through a lot of them. I decided to give it a shot and switched to a mostly vegetarian diet, and saw almost immediate results! Many of the health issues I've been struggling with are slowly getting better now. Venturing into the world of veggie based protein though has brought me to great and confusing debate around soy. Could you do a video on soy please? Trying to sift through the spectrum of "soy is going to kill you" to "everyone should be eating soy" has been very confusing.
Congrats on your success. It often takes time to adjust to all the extra fiber, but it appears you adapted easily. I am a big fan of soy, haven't seen any evidence that it's harmful in any way, at least in reasonable amounts (reasonable amounts seems to apply to almost every food, no?).
I'm far from vegan, I aspire to Mediterranean, though I enjoy a good burger or steak occasionally. But I'm glad you defending good science like The Framingham Study. I eat my fruit and veggies and so does my centenarian mom though she loves beef (but does eat fish often) and as did my centenarian grandmother who was born in 1887. We are a family of long lived omnivores.
I appreciate all of the time, energy and effort you put into every one of your videos. They are so full of science and they are very enjoyable. It is work like yours that keeps social media worthwhile.
The BROAD study is a study of the Whole Food plant based diet: A randomized controlled trial (The Gold Standard of Studies) Outcome: The WFPB diet can be seen as an effective, safe option for weight loss and chronic disease risk and quality of life improvements. Key foods included whole grains, legumes, vegetables and fruits. No mandated exercise or calorie counting was implemented. The WFPB group had a self-reported increased quality of life, they decreased their medication and blood glucose and their cholesterol dropped. The plant-based group had left the 3-month study 19 pounds lighter, but at 6 months were down about 27 lbs. The BROAD study, however, lasted only 3 months, yet the plant-based group not only lost significant weight, they kept it off. This study ran from August 2014 to 2015 and was extended to 2017.
Great interview. Very captivating to learn about Framingham’s inner workings and past. Thank you. I realize people like quick fixes, conspiracy, and doubt, but I wish so many people weren’t so easily misled. I know really intelligent people that are easily swayed without much effort. Oceanfront property in Arizona.
Good one, Chris. Evidence-based, backed up with sources (and peer-reviewed, no less). Those randomized-controlled trials with placebos to study hypertension really shocked me. Lifestyle modification does work- provided you can get on meds and get your BP down to the Hypertension Stage One or the Elevated range. Excellent work as always, Chris. Please do keep 'em coming!
I am so glad that I can across this video in my RUclips search. I am astounded that so many MDs are advocating this Keto and sometimes more extreme carnivore diet. What is the science behind all this meat eating and zero carb stuff??? The glucose pathway....the fructose pathway???? I certainly agree that we all need to cut almost all refined carbohydrates and eat things that are more nutritious.....but cutting out entire groups sound extreme to me. Could you comment on recent studies on fructose, oxalate, and plant toxins?????? How should we eat????? My dad is getting really mad now days.....he said that medicine is crock......today egg is bad.....tomorrow bread is bad. What can I eat???? Is there anything not poisonous on earth anymore????
Almost had tears in my eyes when he talked about the kids wanting to participate in the study and doing all the travel. There's something about long passage of time and common purpose that is so wholesome.
My own bias: anytime I see a "carnivore" md, I assume they don't know what they're talking about about anything. So far that's proven to be a gold assumption.
why, have you tried eating carnivore? Been eating wfpb vegan for 6 years and felt good but got overly skinny. Tried carnivore for 4 months and feeling even better. A wrist i had problems with started getting stronger after a few days and are now "as new". Chaffee overdramatize the effect of eating plants - not all "carnivore" doctors do...
@@immodsr9348 no, and never will because thousands of pages of data very clearly tell us animals products aren't healthy, and especially not compared to whole vegetables. I do, however, have a colleague who talks like you. Went carnivore, said he felt great. About a year later found out he was on the verge of a massive heart attack due to blocked arteries. Had a quadruple bypass. Now he eats whole food plant based and his cholesterol and triglycerides are better than it's ever been.And he feels great and is actually healthy. Eat whatever you want, though.
@@immodsr9348 Why don't you just eat more nuts or something? Obviously you wont heal well when you are starving yourself. Now you have a good wrist but risk heart disease, cancer, etc. instead.
I just got a vibe that one of your videos was going to pop up, 5 minutes later, here it is, yay! Have to watch later though, meeting someone for a run....
Thank you so much for this video, Chris- marvelous interview! I Your work in putting all your garnered information together on RUclipss into such a usable format is absolutely priceless. I am sending this one off to some of my more recalcitrant friends and family, post haste. You are a "Prince Among Men," in my estimation. Love to you and yours!
These videos are a breath of fresh air. So much misinformation on RUclips. Seeing the scientists speak about their work is fantastic content. Thank you for your hard work Chris.
Thanks Chris et al! This window into the Framingham study is fascinating. We really love your channel and appreciate the work you put in. Please keep it up sir!
Chris! Exceptional work, as always. I'm so grateful that we have you and your commitment to spreading scientific understanding. I truly hope the era of this rampant misinformation will end... Thank you. It was a pleasure to watch every second of this and former videos.
*THIS IS THE WAY I UNDERSTAND IT, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.* For more than 200,000 generations humanoids were hyper carnivores and apex predators. They evolved with a stomach PH of 2 (highly acidic), eyes facing forward in the skull like all carnivores, and sharp, pointy canine teeth. They became so proficient at killing they drove most large land mammals like the Mastodon and Wolly Mammoth into extinction about 12,000 years ago. It was only after this happened that humans ever ate a vegetable to keep from starving to death. Humans began farming about 600 generations ago. Processed foods have only been around for 20 generations, and vegetable oils have only been around for 10 generations. For 3 million years humans never ate carbohydrates at all except a few berries in the Spring and Fall. 300,000 years ago there was 9 species of humanoids living on Earth. 30,000 years ago there were only 3. In order to determine the proper human diet one must figure out what man has eaten for his entire existence, and fatty red meat was a large part of it. Maybe in another 10,000 generations humans will evolve to utilize carbohydrates, processed foods, and vegetable oils but right now they can't.
No one claimed we can't digest meat. When we migrated to colder areas w/little-to-no edible vegetation, those who could digest meat became our ancestors. The others died. Does that mean thesurvivors were healthier on meat than they were on their previous herbivorous diet? Considering how their modern descendants are doing, I think not.
@@charliesgrumma5388 Yeah, scientific evidence, who needs it? Let's just invent our own facts, and conveniently misinterpret some actual facts, to justify our beliefs.
WOW, soooooo informative! This compilation of information makes this one video, in my opinion, essential to watch, and should be part of the school curriculum, every where!!! I stayed absolutely glued to the screen! Thank you PC, excellent work!!!
I don't like that fast food is always blamed for being high in sodium. We get too much sodium EVERYWHERE we eat, at home and at restaurants. If your food is under saltet you won't like it, or you will add more salt yourself. The only way to avoid salt is to cook your own food and retrain your taste buds.
The processing masks the saltiness taste in a lot of food. Try making some French fries from scratch and then add as much salt as McDonald’s has in its fries. They would be inedible because of how overpowering the salt flavor is. It’s incredibly difficult to put too much salt in your food if cooking at home.
@robinpetersson3081 - "We get too much sodium EVERYWHERE we eat, at home and at restaurants." Why would you get too much sodium eating at home? I don't.
GOOD FOR THE PLANET AND GOOD FOR OUR HEALTH: THE EVIDENCE FOR WHOLE-FOOD PLANT-BASED DIETS (2021) - This review highlights that whole-food plant-based (WFPB) diets are effective in managing and preventing obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Participants adhering to a WFPB diet showed significant improvements in body mass index (BMI) and glycemic control, and experienced a reduced risk of cardiovascular mortality. The study emphasizes that healthy WFPB diets, as opposed to unhealthy plant-based diets with processed foods, are crucial for these benefits.
Remember when you were 8 and you said you were going to eat nothing but haribo for the rest of your life? That's what these carnivores remind me of. Grow up people.
@@Viva-Longevity I rem we ber seeing a interview that had both Dr Ornish and Dr. Esselstyn and they disagreed with each other(civilly of course) and Dean looks at the interviewer and said yes we disagree but it is on 1%, the other 99% we agree on, that's the message!
It's odd... I'm a Brit in his 70s and _I've_ known about the Framingham Study since before I went to university (Maths, not any biology courses). So that the ignorance of anti-science "influencers" in _this age_ of easy access to information baffles me. I say "influencers" because I've noticed how they tend to attract people already in the bubble seeking out the cod science instead of the serious stuff.
I love your comment. The basic trend I see that education is deteriorating and easily accessible information to too many things actually provides a noise rather than actual knowledge. As you have also stated, the internet provides great opportunities for creation of echo chambers for self indulgence. And pop culture and entertainment of all sorts are stronger and more overwhelming than ever before. I like talking to people of your generation and orvos generations to not only find out how much they have learned but how many information they have actually retained for many decades. Getting a university degree meant different thing in the 70s and then again different thing in the 30s compared to what it means recently. Of course exceptions do exist. And the trends I see from my perspective aren't universal. But that's what I have experienced.
I agree with echo chambers being SO powerful. When only positive anecdotes are allowed and they are emotional, it sweeps a lot of people off their feet.
That's funny, I was about to have corrective surgery on my plant diet but switched to meat only and ALL of my health problems disappeared quite quickly with no exercise and no surgery.
@@Meathead-10810 Can happen in the short term, but it's going to be interesting to see what happens to your body without any fiber or polyphenols in the medium to long term.
Another great interview, Chris. I appreciate your dedication to hearing different voices in the conversation but going to the source (either data or a scientist) to fact check the claims. As always, your humor is refreshing! Looking forward to your next video.
Here is one of those studies looking at the Framingham data. 'It is concluded that within the range of egg intake of this population differences in egg consumption were unrelated to blood cholesterol level or to coronary heart disease incidence.' Ref: Eggs, serum cholesterol, and coronary heart disease ( Am J Clin Nutr. 1982 Oct)
Not really. The tenants of a Mediterranean diet are fairly broad, and they all show success. It's also not an elimination diet, it's just a diet that guides you toward a larger quantity and diversity of plant-based whole foods, and minimal processed food.
@@Ampe96 lol... "The Mediterranean diet" has transcended a "Mediterranean" diet. It's not a geographical diet anymore, nor does the entire Mediterranean region share the same diet. The diet is, again, more about a prioritization and diversity of plant-based whole food and minimal processed food, in addition to an emphasis on fish above red meat.
That was yet another very pleasurable hour spent in the company of smart people who we can all learn from. I love this channel. It must get disheartening for you sometimes to have to deal with an army of dangerous idiots who wage a constant war on objective reality. That guy Anthony Chaffee’s grotesque formula is to profit by making other people sick. Anyway, thanks for this fascinating insight into the gift to humanity that is the Framingham Study. Your efforts will no doubt remind people how to live well, be healthy and how not to sleepwalk our way into heart disease. But more importantly, it looks like you have a new dog. I saw from a previous video that your last dog sadly passed. Wishing you many happy and healthy adventures with Layla. Yay for Layla!
Another fantastic plantchompers video! Thanks for working so hard on these. In the comments on your PFAS video you mentioned to me that you were possibly going to have some foods you buy tested. Any chance that happened?
You're both right! The USC prof has a point; try it yourself, measure your blood pressure then cut sugar and high glycemic food for a few days and measure blood pressure again.
Sure must be a lot of people who are going by their own healing experiences instead of agenda-funded studies. What complete morons. Always listen to experts instead of what you can see, hear, think, and feel for yourself. We are only lowly peasants, after all. How dare any of us try something without being told by an expert that it would work. Worse yet, how dare we believe it worked by the results that we see and feel ourselves when our direct experience contradicts expert scientific data!! Unbelievable!!
Carnivore are going to have a hard time coping with this one. They’ll need to double up on the Sean Baker and Ken Berry pseudoscience videos and maybe get a little more motivation from Steak and Butter girl and her nonsense videos.
@@goozfrabah579 I’m not dumb enough to eat carnivore but I was dumb enough to do keto for a number of years and it did quite a lot of damage. I’m so much healthier now by every metric.
@@goozfrabah579 the issue is mainly about the pseudoscience that these carnivore doctors use to “prove” their narrative. Humans can do well eating all types of healthy food. - Plants aren’t trying to kill you.
Watching Dr. Anthony Chaffee videos is often annoying because of the level of pseudoscience that uses as a narrative to justify his plant phobias. From listening to Him he actually doesn’t like the way plants taste in the first place. Some ppl are like that but no need to make the stupid Cassowary comparison to scare patients about eating a piece of fruit. The other stupid thing he goes on about is the Castor Bean poison and the manioc / yucca bashing. Some people who must not know much about food or plants in the first place take that as evidence that plants are trying to kill you.

One of the push backs suggested Plant Chompers try and contact Dr Chaffee for clarification, but first I’d like to know if Dr Chaffee tried to contact Framingham Heart Study for clarification.
22 sets of twins tried both vegan and meat diets. Researchers at Stanford University studied the twins' cardiovascular health. After eight weeks following their respective diets, the twin siblings who ate a vegan diet had lost more weight, reduced their LDL, or "bad" cholesterol, and experienced lower insulin levels, according to the study's findings. "The findings from this trial suggest that a healthy plant-based diet offers a significant protective cardiometabolic advantage compared with a healthy omnivorous diet," the study's authors wrote. The study, published Nov. 30 in the journal JAMA Network Open.
INTERHEART STUDY, a global case-control study, investigated risk factors for acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) in various populations. It found that a high intake of fruits and vegetables was associated with a lower risk of heart attack, emphasizing the cardiovascular benefits of plant-based foods.
Never been a documented case of a strict carnivore living to 100. There is an ever increasing number of vegans surpassing that milestone with all their mental faculties intact 🤔
You know, I'm neither vegan nor vegetarian but I do accept that a largely plantbased diet is superior to both omnivorous and carnivorous diets. I generally eat meat for about two to three meals out of 21 meals a week.
The EPIC-OXFORD STUDY, part of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition, examined the diets and health outcomes of over 65,000 participants. It found that vegetarians had a significantly lower risk of coronary heart disease compared to meat-eaters.
Dairy consumption increases breast cancer. Dairy is full of the hormone estradiol because the dairy cow is milked while it is pregnant and it has been measured in the milk. The 7th day Adventists are often studied because they are health conscious, don’t drink alcohol or smoke, and eagerly participate in studies. ADVENTIST HEALTH STUDY 2 showed the more milk the Adventists consumed the higher the breast cancer. This study was confirmed by a study in China, CHINA KADOORIE BIOBANK STUDY. The Conclusion: The more dairy you consume the higher your breast cancer risk. ¼ cup/day of milk increases breast cancer risk by 17%.
CHRIS!!! It’d be so great if you got to talk to Gary Null. I’ve been listening to him on the radio since the mid 90’s. He’s so well researched in food and nutrition studies, deeply ethical about his work in reporting things to the public as well as a lifelong vegan and animal rights advocate. A talk between you two would be phenomenal!🙏🏻

Yet another fantastic and informative video. We are all so thankful for your work, Chris
I'm going to mention this again. I lowered my cholesterol by more than a hundred point by diet alone. It's now been two years since I first saw a number under 180. I had a cholesterol over 280. Statins didn't reduce my cholesterol more than twenty points. Eating less meat and more vegetables made the change.
I was surprised when Dr. Levy said so emphatically that you cannot get the lowering by diet alone that you can get from statins. Some people seem to be able to, like you. 👏
@@Viva-Longevity Sugar lowers LDL cholesterol. Especially in lean people. The lipid energy model explains how and why.
@@Viva-Longevity Yes, I think it would be a very common result if people just did it. But I think Dr. Levy meant that people are not willing to do it with diet.
Me, too!
In my case, cholesterol was always fine, but I had a blood pressure of over 220 systolic. Changing my diet (which only became possible after I found a way of eating that did not make me miserable) allowed me to lose well over 60 kg and lower my blood pressure to around 110 systolic. Weight loss was almost certainly the cause, but that loss was made possible by diet, in combination with willpower (another dirty word these days).
What a great video!
I love your sincere enthusiasm and appreciation during your interviews. It shows how much you know and respect the work of the researchers you have the opportunity to talk with.
I like the historical tidbits that are need to me. And showing the antique equipment they had to work on. I also love seeing the environment and equipment seen in the old documentary on the China study found in RUclips. Makes you appreciate their work even more. Even if i knew the history of analytical instrumentation and computers already. Knowing something in theory (and therefore inevitably in abstraction) and seeing it in actual reality are two different things.
However I think yours are partially a Sisyphean labour. When the influencers in question doesn't even know the very basics about their topic and simply dismiss things they haven't even read it heard about. They won't change their opinion they built their livelihood on whatever the case may be. They may continue to say it all comes down to genetics. Maybe some strong or different kinds of people can survive the plants but most not. Or is all fake data. They say what their followers want to hear. Of course more open minded and analytical people appreciate your work. And all three carnivores you have actually managed to convince in the last couple of years.
Thank you for devoting your time, effort, and knowledge to bring us content like this. This channel is doing a lot of good for our collective health and the health of the planet.
The reason that they won’t do studies on the carnivore diet is because big pharmaceutical can’t make any money off of it. It would bring down their bottom dollar if everybody was off seven different prescription medication’s like I am and it would save the planet. My carbon footprint is down over 25% just from not having to take diabetes medication not to mention the other five medication‘s that I no longer have to take.

Meat had affected me personally because my Dad isn't allowed to drive anymore (in his mid seventies) because of dementia. He had gone his whole life eating a lot of meat and few vegetables other than salads. He wouldn't eat the skin of his baked potatoes, and we had criticized him for that. Vegetarian grandmother was mentally still sharp as a tack into her nineties.

It's disheartening that the passion and dedication of genuine scientists often go unrecognized. These incredible individuals dedicate their work and love to the greater good, yet many people dismiss their contributions in favor of having their egos boosted by quacks. This tendency to overlook real expertise in favor of self-serving pseudo-science is truly saddening.
We all like to hear good news about our bad habits. I'm waiting for the day cake is classed as a superfood.

That's a funny thing to say as there are many super food cake recipes out there. It mostly only takes a cake to be gluten free, vegan and contain some 'superfood' ingredients to achieve superfood cake status, it seems.
There are also actual studies claiming eating candy is good for your health. You would have never guess the sponsorship of studies like this in a million years, however. 🙃
So you don't have to wait, that day have arrived long before today.
And superfood isn't a proper term, only a marketing and social media gimmick. There are more 'superfoods' out there are care to count and new ones are proclaimed all the time.

@@4124V4TA-SNPCA-x I eat superfoods every day, except that no one calls them that. They are called, beans, lentils, grains, onions, carrots, cabbage, tomatoes, and much more. "super" reminds me of "premium". Both meaningless terms that only indicate that they are more expensive than they should be.
@@BartBVanBockstaele
Agreed. Which is exactly why the non scientific marketing term was invented in the first place.
To jack up prices and demand.
For example I'd just eat a tad bit more grapes than gojis, thank you. Grapes have less sugar than goji berries anyway. Grapes also have less dietary covers and somewhat less vitamin C but legumes and oats and psyllium do exists. Other berries and paprika and citruses more than cover that.
Basically most whole foods can be considered super anyway. (Of course I also eat gojis when they are available at a discount because varietas delectat.)
Cabbage that you have mentioned relatively lately became superfood and sauerkraut is fashionable in the US. My ancestors have already ate those for millennia, thank you.
One needs a super diet and lifestyle, not trendy food trends.

I'm sure all the thousands (millions?) of people who have regained their health from switching to carnivore are absolutely devastated to hear what you think.
The reason people follow those social media people that put out content that may not be true, is because they are saying what they want to hear. People don't really want to know the truth unless it fits into their narrative.
Exactly. Majority of people lack discipline and are hedonistic, self-indulgent and self-serving. If you tell them to continue to do what they have been doing for years and that is not YOU who is the problem but imaginary "evil doctors/bill gates/government" - you are their savior. In the case of doctors who promote quasi carnivore diet, they only ask you to remove "veggies" - something that these people haven't been eating at all or were eating in very small quantities. It becomes even easier. They will just go to one isle and grab some corpses - no thought given. Slap some bombastic words, such as "grass fed/humanely abused" - and they will dish out money feeling good about the bad thing.
The platform providers (or "content curators") are also to blame for that. Once you click a few of those videos you will almost exclusively get recommended videos/content creators that follow the same theme.
Being trapped in such a bubble not only reinforces ignorance, it convinces people that they know the truth™ even though they know very little and a lot of it is misinformation.

Can you do a series on sugar substitutes: artificial sweeteners; sugar alcohols; alternative sugars with low GI/GL (e.g. monk fruit, stevia)?
And, can you also do one on the various types of saturated fats?
I second this! Especially interested in sugar alcohols. I hear so much conflicting stuff about them.
@@justinw1765 I can tell you that, at least in theory, erythritol is the safest to use. Very little of it goes to the liver or gets converted to glycogen, which means it has very little impact on your liver and blood sugar. Sucralose, monk fruit and Stevia are also similarly safe. Caveat: everyone is different so your experience may vary from this. One video I watched of a couple testing the impact of these products on their blood sugar actually experienced a slight DECREASE in blood sugar using monk fruit. Stick with those and, unless you start having problems (check side effect info), you should be good. I still want Chris to do videos on this stuff.
I can tell you from personal experience that erythritol is weakly sweet and many sweeteners that use it are similarly not that sweet. I was able to find sucralose in a 20x form, and you only need to use a tiny amount to sweeten your consumables, although I didn't feel it was necessarily really 20x.
Tricking your gut and pancreas to produce insulin in expectation of a sweet food, because of the taste, just doesn’t seem to be a good idea.
Fantastic episode Chris! All your episodes are exceptionally well done to the point they are becoming works of reference! I thoroughly enjoy how you interview the seminal organizations and scientists to uncover the absolute truth. Much to your credit, I've never heard you call a youtube spinmeister a "Big fat liar" 🙂.
Hahaha, thank you so much.
One thought that immediately came to mind just now (& I'm only at the 4:23 mark into this excellent video ) is this: that the naturally occurring pesticides in plants are probably usually like d-limeonene, the pesticide found in oranges.
I would wager that many work mechanically rather than as chemical neurotoxins. D-limonene works mechanically. Many synthetic pesticides work as chemical neurotoxins, which is why pests are able over time to adapt and build up resistance.
Insects -- as far as I know -- cannot build resistance to something that dissolves their exoskeletons, nor against suffocation, or sharp microscopic particles that enter their digestive systems, as Diamataceous Earth or borates operate.
But then there is naturally occurring pyrethrin in chrysanthemum, which does operate chemically rather than mechanically, and is a neurotoxin, and will elicit adaptive resistance . But even it in its natural form degrades much quicker than the synthetic permethrin, and I would think is less dangerous to humans, though still quite deadly.
And there are other very deadly, natural compounds in the botanical world.
So i am not a scientist, and would love to learn more. But again. I find most of the arguments that "edible plants are trying to kill us" hilarious!😂
That's true. On the suffocation: But several insects and even more other arthropoda, mainly arachnida can stand suffocation for an awful long time. We don't know exactly how some spiders do it but it is breath taking. (Sorry for the pun.)
Well they are literally 'a joke '.
So for example Allicin, from garlic etc., natural antibiotic, is not destroying you colon microbiome ? Come on.
Natural pesticides in plants are also plant polyphenols - the compounds associated with inflammatory reduction and overall reductions in disease risk. Organic produce have more polyphenols than non-organic because the agricultural pesticides cause the plant not to produce its own pesticides, which also happen to be one of the healthiest parts of plants that make their nutritional profile unique.
@@4124V4TA-SNPCA-x , I use clove oil a lot to kill both insects and arachnids. I'm not sure the mechanism, but had assumed it was suffocation.
Recently was unable to get much effect with bed bugs with clove, but then did a search online and found a study where d-limonene performed well, so I switched to that and BOOM! It slaughtered them, which for a vegan was ironically extremely gratifying. They die almost immediately and I've completely eliminated the infestation that had bothered me for weeks.
I believe the nervous systems of bugs are rather rudimentary compared to those in the higher strata, like kittens(!!) & puppies(!). So logically speaking, the more complex the nervous system, the more the creature feels emotion. 😻

Tastes are malleable. People get used to eating things that taste horrible( hard liquor for example.) Likewise we can adapt to eating unprocessed plants. I personally do not like oil after a decade of leaving it behind. I get my healthy fats in small amounts from whole plant foods such as nuts, seeds and avocados. Other plants have modest amounts of fat in them as well. There is no need to pour oil into snd onto our food. The notion that we need it for food to taste good is just untrue. I think saying that things need to taste good to have a sustainable way of eating requires a more nuanced explanation. We get used to eating things and tastes shift. Also we are hard wired to like sweet, fat and salt and there can be a drive to overeat those things. Highly palatable meats, dairy, refined flours, sugar and oil can become addictive. Food can taste very good in a whole food plant based diet without crossing into hyper-palatability. One undeniable drawback of oil in our society is that the vast majority of Americans are overweight or obese. That alone is good reason to eliminate a refined item that is so calorie dense. Furthermore, over half of the country lives paycheck to paycheck. 40% don’t even have $400 in the bank for an emergency. Oil is not in any way necessary for health or palatability. That money spent on oil would be better spent on beans, rice, fruit and vegetables.
The oils are quite destructive to the planet, too. 😔
And I love the ease of clean up since not using oil.
I know our digestive processes has its own mechanism for breaking down food but I've often wondered how similar oil clogging the kitchen drain is to it clogging our arteries.
@@Kayte... Yes! It transforms the washing up. I love that.
I agree with you overall, except that hard liquor doesn't taste good. Hard liquors, hard spirits and high alcohol content aperitifs and digestivs all taste great.
I liked them when I first tried them as a child. So did with wine and beer.
But I may be in the minority.
It is a matter of taste I think. Comparable to liking overly bitter or overly sour drinks and food.

Lovely interview. A great reminder that science is about facts, and that whether we like it or not, reality is what the facts are, not what we would prefer it to be. And yes, diet alone can do wonders. The price to pay is that no one wants to even contemplate eating with me. But, my life is **my** life, not theirs. And... I enjoy my diet, even if I only spend a few minutes in the kitchen every day. The Framingham study can be credited with part of that improvement of my life.

Results are what matter. That's why many people stick with animal based. Different people, different dietary optimums.
@@bonsummers2657 I would suggest that lack of knowledge about them is what makes people **think** that plant-based diets are less good.

Fatness isn't the only problem, but it is the most visible thing.
Lack of knowledge does not make a dietary pattern less good, but leads to wrongful application and interpretation. And thàt may lead to a wrongful dietary pattern.

The first reason I stopped eating meat was the undeniable cruelty of animal husbandry, the second reason was the undeniable and very significant effect on global warming, third was how illogical it is to feed an animal for months and years only to be consumed in minutes, the last was health. So happy I found this channel, it is the only source I rely on for nutrition.
Let’s have a debate and find out who is the liar.
@@longevitycoach1573 Go away!
@@longevitycoach1573so you believe that the carnivore would win 🤔😂. Not a chance. Just watch all of the videos on this channel. There is science behind and not just anecdotes and misinformation....
If the animals weren't eaten (in minutes) then they wouldn't have lived at all. Have you ever done a thought experiment where you could speak to the entirety of cow-kind and say "would you rather all be born and die to be eaten, or never be born at all?" Oblivion is pretty cold.
@@rojodiver3344oh my god. You cannot call that a life how the cows live, or any of the animals killed for food. As a mother I would never want to bring children into the world only to know they will be food and I would have to live on until I don't make enough milk or can't get pregnant anymore only tik become some bad burger....
I'm really surprised potassium hardly ever gets a mention when discussing hypertension and lowering sodium; the two work together with opposite functions. It seems recent literature suggests the ratio is more important than anything, but it's hardly ever discussed. This also undermines the carnivore diet further, considering there's no way you get the potassium you need.
Great point. I think that the Japanese have a relatively high sodium intake, but also tend to eat more potassium than westerners, especially North Americans.
If fact, I believe it is possible to over do potassium if you are not getting enough sodium. I have noticed that my salt cravings go up under two conditions: If I sweat a lot, or when I'm eating A LOT of vegetables and fruits with relatively little sodium for awhile. I don't think those temporary cravings are a matter of addiction, like Dr. Goldhamer says *.
Like so much in life, it is about balance and moderation. Sodium is not really the devil, or even really a devil. But it can be overdone, especially if not balanced out by potassium.
* Speaking of Goldhamer, I agree with a lot of what he says, but even he says some illogical stuff at times. In one interview, in talking about the detrimental effects of sodium and how it is used as a antimicrobial preserver of food, and paraphrased, "just imagine what it is doing to the human body and our gut microbiome..."
Well he apparently completely forgot that many traditionally cultured foods are done so in a pretty significant salt brine (and for good reasons). It seems that plenty of probiotic lactic bacteria (that are indigenous to various vegetable surfaces) are just fine with fairly high salt levels, way more than can be found in the human gut or even blood at any given time. Meanwhile, mold and various other pathogenic microbes, don't like the higher salt, which is part of the reason why it is used.
Great point
I found as long as I don’t consume carbs and sugar. I can have as much salt as I want without any ill effects.
that’s just the beginning, taking magnesium to protect the heart from high meat eating tanks potassium.
@@justinw1765if you take magnesium you will crave salt.
Your channel has fast become my favorite. I look forward to each new video release. They’re so informative and I love how you weave history in. I can’t believe Dr. Lustig gets so much attention. Look how unhealthy he looks. I suspect if you take his BMI that he falls into the obese category. Shouldn’t he know better that saturated fat is not good for us? It’s ironic that medical doctors become the authority on nutrition when they receive little to no education in nutrition.
How do you know saturated fat doesn't have a positive impact on the body? This is why people should be skeptical about every scientific study.

This was a fascinating episode and interview!
I found your channel a few weeks ago and have been watching through a lot of them. I decided to give it a shot and switched to a mostly vegetarian diet, and saw almost immediate results! Many of the health issues I've been struggling with are slowly getting better now. Venturing into the world of veggie based protein though has brought me to great and confusing debate around soy. Could you do a video on soy please? Trying to sift through the spectrum of "soy is going to kill you" to "everyone should be eating soy" has been very confusing.
Congrats on your success. It often takes time to adjust to all the extra fiber, but it appears you adapted easily. I am a big fan of soy, haven't seen any evidence that it's harmful in any way, at least in reasonable amounts (reasonable amounts seems to apply to almost every food, no?).
I'm far from vegan, I aspire to Mediterranean, though I enjoy a good burger or steak occasionally. But I'm glad you defending good science like The Framingham Study. I eat my fruit and veggies and so does my centenarian mom though she loves beef (but does eat fish often) and as did my centenarian grandmother who was born in 1887. We are a family of long lived omnivores.
This is why people should be skeptical about every scientific study.

I appreciate all of the time, energy and effort you put into every one of your videos. They are so full of science and they are very enjoyable. It is work like yours that keeps social media worthwhile.
The BROAD study is a study of the Whole Food plant based diet: A randomized controlled trial (The Gold Standard of Studies)
Outcome: The WFPB diet can be seen as an effective, safe option for weight loss and chronic disease risk and quality of life improvements. Key foods included whole grains, legumes, vegetables and fruits.
No mandated exercise or calorie counting was implemented.
The WFPB group had a self-reported increased quality of life, they decreased their medication and blood glucose and their cholesterol dropped. The plant-based group had left the 3-month study 19 pounds lighter, but at 6 months were down about 27 lbs. The BROAD study, however, lasted only 3 months, yet the plant-based group not only lost significant weight, they kept it off. This study ran from August 2014 to 2015 and was extended to 2017.
Great interview. Very captivating to learn about Framingham’s inner workings and past. Thank you.
I realize people like quick fixes, conspiracy, and doubt, but I wish so many people weren’t so easily misled. I know really intelligent people that are easily swayed without much effort.

Good one, Chris. Evidence-based, backed up with sources (and peer-reviewed, no less). Those randomized-controlled trials with placebos to study hypertension really shocked me. Lifestyle modification does work- provided you can get on meds and get your BP down to the Hypertension Stage One or the Elevated range.
Excellent work as always, Chris. Please do keep 'em coming!
I am so glad that I can across this video in my RUclips search. I am astounded that so many MDs are advocating this Keto and sometimes more extreme carnivore diet. What is the science behind all this meat eating and zero carb stuff??? The glucose pathway....the fructose pathway????
I certainly agree that we all need to cut almost all refined carbohydrates and eat things that are more nutritious.....but cutting out entire groups sound extreme to me. Could you comment on recent studies on fructose, oxalate, and plant toxins?????? How should we eat?????
My dad is getting really mad now days.....he said that medicine is crock......today egg is bad.....tomorrow bread is bad. What can I eat???? Is there anything not poisonous on earth anymore????
Almost had tears in my eyes when he talked about the kids wanting to participate in the study and doing all the travel. There's something about long passage of time and common purpose that is so wholesome.
My own bias: anytime I see a "carnivore" md, I assume they don't know what they're talking about about anything. So far that's proven to be a gold assumption.
why, have you tried eating carnivore?
Been eating wfpb vegan for 6 years and felt good but got overly skinny.
Tried carnivore for 4 months and feeling even better. A wrist i had problems with started getting stronger after a few days and are now "as new". Chaffee overdramatize the effect of eating plants - not all "carnivore" doctors do...
Remember to get your covid vaccine boosters!!
@@immodsr9348vegan means “for the animals”.
@@immodsr9348 no, and never will because thousands of pages of data very clearly tell us animals products aren't healthy, and especially not compared to whole vegetables. I do, however, have a colleague who talks like you. Went carnivore, said he felt great. About a year later found out he was on the verge of a massive heart attack due to blocked arteries. Had a quadruple bypass. Now he eats whole food plant based and his cholesterol and triglycerides are better than it's ever been.And he feels great and is actually healthy. Eat whatever you want, though.
@@immodsr9348 Why don't you just eat more nuts or something? Obviously you wont heal well when you are starving yourself. Now you have a good wrist but risk heart disease, cancer, etc. instead.
I just got a vibe that one of your videos was going to pop up, 5 minutes later, here it is, yay! Have to watch later though, meeting someone for a run....
Let’s have a debate and find out who is the liar.
Thank you so much for this video, Chris- marvelous interview! I Your work in putting all your garnered information together on RUclipss into such a usable format is absolutely priceless. I am sending this one off to some of my more recalcitrant friends and family, post haste. You are a "Prince Among Men," in my estimation. Love to you and yours!
Thank you for making great videos like this! We have more work than ever fighting against what people want to be true versus what IS true.
I eagerly await postings by Plant Chompers. Science, research, FACTS: so refreshing.
These videos are a breath of fresh air. So much misinformation on RUclips. Seeing the scientists speak about their work is fantastic content. Thank you for your hard work Chris.
I double dog dare you to go on carnivore for one month and then get back to me on whether this is a wonderful video or not.
@@nataliegist2014 😂 How old are you?
Thanks Chris et al! This window into the Framingham study is fascinating. We really love your channel and appreciate the work you put in. Please keep it up sir!
Chris! Exceptional work, as always. I'm so grateful that we have you and your commitment to spreading scientific understanding. I truly hope the era of this rampant misinformation will end... Thank you. It was a pleasure to watch every second of this and former videos.
Thank you for all of this elaborate content. It is very effective, even for me in Norway. You are a gift to humanity Chris.
Another exceptionally good interview. Thank you Chris and Daniel.
Great video. Please keep calling out the charlatans. You are doing a service to humanity, literally.

Please let me know who these charlatans are so I can steer clear of them.
Yet again, top-rate content. Thank you
*THIS IS THE WAY I UNDERSTAND IT, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.* For more than 200,000 generations humanoids were hyper carnivores and apex predators. They evolved with a stomach PH of 2 (highly acidic), eyes facing forward in the skull like all carnivores, and sharp, pointy canine teeth. They became so proficient at killing they drove most large land mammals like the Mastodon and Wolly Mammoth into extinction about 12,000 years ago. It was only after this happened that humans ever ate a vegetable to keep from starving to death. Humans began farming about 600 generations ago. Processed foods have only been around for 20 generations, and vegetable oils have only been around for 10 generations. For 3 million years humans never ate carbohydrates at all except a few berries in the Spring and Fall. 300,000 years ago there was 9 species of humanoids living on Earth. 30,000 years ago there were only 3. In order to determine the proper human diet one must figure out what man has eaten for his entire existence, and fatty red meat was a large part of it. Maybe in another 10,000 generations humans will evolve to utilize carbohydrates, processed foods, and vegetable oils but right now they can't.
Stay tuned. I'll release an episode on that very topic in a couple of weeks.
No one claimed we can't digest meat. When we migrated to colder areas w/little-to-no edible vegetation, those who could digest meat became our ancestors. The others died. Does that mean thesurvivors were healthier on meat than they were on their previous herbivorous diet? Considering how their modern descendants are doing, I think not.
you believe all that stuff? Really? The academic/scientific literature paints a different picture.
@@tomgoff7887 You believe words and books and things like that? Absurd!
@@charliesgrumma5388 Yeah, scientific evidence, who needs it? Let's just invent our own facts, and conveniently misinterpret some actual facts, to justify our beliefs.
WOW, soooooo informative! This compilation of information makes this one video, in my opinion, essential to watch, and should be part of the school curriculum, every where!!! I stayed absolutely glued to the screen! Thank you PC, excellent work!!!
Fantastic information Chris! Lotasalove from Norway😊❤️
I don't like that fast food is always blamed for being high in sodium. We get too much sodium EVERYWHERE we eat, at home and at restaurants. If your food is under saltet you won't like it, or you will add more salt yourself. The only way to avoid salt is to cook your own food and retrain your taste buds.
Sodium is positively correlated with lifespan up to 5 grams per day. Plus, if you sweat a lot you need more.
Lol salt is good for you dumb dumb. Vegans deep down know that the results of carnivore are incredible, and you are bewildered
Problem isnt to much sodium its to little potassium
The processing masks the saltiness taste in a lot of food. Try making some French fries from scratch and then add as much salt as McDonald’s has in its fries. They would be inedible because of how overpowering the salt flavor is. It’s incredibly difficult to put too much salt in your food if cooking at home.
@robinpetersson3081 - "We get too much sodium EVERYWHERE we eat, at home and at restaurants."
Why would you get too much sodium eating at home? I don't.
GOOD FOR THE PLANET AND GOOD FOR OUR HEALTH: THE EVIDENCE FOR WHOLE-FOOD PLANT-BASED DIETS (2021) - This review highlights that whole-food plant-based (WFPB) diets are effective in managing and preventing obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Participants adhering to a WFPB diet showed significant improvements in body mass index (BMI) and glycemic control, and experienced a reduced risk of cardiovascular mortality. The study emphasizes that healthy WFPB diets, as opposed to unhealthy plant-based diets with processed foods, are crucial for these benefits.
This interview is absolutely phenomenal. Very informative, and very moving. I love it!
Thanks, super interesting! I would recommend to listen to Dr. Daniel Levy at 1,25 or 1,5 speed, to make it sound more natural.
I thoroughly enjoy your presentation style. I come here to maintain a balanced viewpoint.
Remember when you were 8 and you said you were going to eat nothing but haribo for the rest of your life? That's what these carnivores remind me of. Grow up people.
That's what vegans remind me of.
As he talked about the oils I could her Dr. Esselstyn in my head saying “no oil!”
Me too.
@@Viva-Longevity I rem we ber seeing a interview that had both Dr Ornish and Dr. Esselstyn and they disagreed with each other(civilly of course) and Dean looks at the interviewer and said yes we disagree but it is on 1%, the other 99% we agree on, that's the message!
It's odd... I'm a Brit in his 70s and _I've_ known about the Framingham Study since before I went to university (Maths, not any biology courses). So that the ignorance of anti-science "influencers" in _this age_ of easy access to information baffles me. I say "influencers" because I've noticed how they tend to attract people already in the bubble seeking out the cod science instead of the serious stuff.
I love your comment.
The basic trend I see that education is deteriorating and easily accessible information to too many things actually provides a noise rather than actual knowledge.
As you have also stated, the internet provides great opportunities for creation of echo chambers for self indulgence. And pop culture and entertainment of all sorts are stronger and more overwhelming than ever before.
I like talking to people of your generation and orvos generations to not only find out how much they have learned but how many information they have actually retained for many decades.
Getting a university degree meant different thing in the 70s and then again different thing in the 30s compared to what it means recently.
Of course exceptions do exist. And the trends I see from my perspective aren't universal. But that's what I have experienced.
I agree with echo chambers being SO powerful. When only positive anecdotes are allowed and they are emotional, it sweeps a lot of people off their feet.
These "influencers" are dangerous.
That's funny, I was about to have corrective surgery on my plant diet but switched to meat only and ALL of my health problems disappeared quite quickly with no exercise and no surgery.
@@Meathead-10810 Can happen in the short term, but it's going to be interesting to see what happens to your body without any fiber or polyphenols in the medium to long term.
Thank you for this. Precise. Well prepared. Open questions. Nice flow. I thank you
Another great interview, Chris. I appreciate your dedication to hearing different voices in the conversation but going to the source (either data or a scientist) to fact check the claims. As always, your humor is refreshing! Looking forward to your next video.
Here is one of those studies looking at the Framingham data.
'It is concluded that within the range of egg intake of this population differences in egg consumption were unrelated to blood cholesterol level or to coronary heart disease incidence.'

Shoutout from Slovakia! 🙂
An absolute gem of a channel and a gem of a person (as in Chris). Would pay to watch, if I had to.
Thanks! I pay to do it. 😁
Another shoutout from Slovakia! This is one of the best channels on RUclips!
The problem with advocating a Mediterranean diet is that there are a dozen or more different Mediterranean diets. The advice must be more specific.
Blue zone diet is more precise.
Not really. The tenants of a Mediterranean diet are fairly broad, and they all show success. It's also not an elimination diet, it's just a diet that guides you toward a larger quantity and diversity of plant-based whole foods, and minimal processed food.
@@limitisillusion7 that's not mediterranean, the mediterranean diet was made up and it's not based on a real diet. i'm from there
In pop culture, yes, but in medical literature, no
@@Ampe96 lol... "The Mediterranean diet" has transcended a "Mediterranean" diet. It's not a geographical diet anymore, nor does the entire Mediterranean region share the same diet. The diet is, again, more about a prioritization and diversity of plant-based whole food and minimal processed food, in addition to an emphasis on fish above red meat.
That was yet another very pleasurable hour spent in the company of smart people who we can all learn from. I love this channel. It must get disheartening for you sometimes to have to deal with an army of dangerous idiots who wage a constant war on objective reality.
That guy Anthony Chaffee’s grotesque formula is to profit by making other people sick. Anyway, thanks for this fascinating insight into the gift to humanity that is the Framingham Study. Your efforts will no doubt remind people how to live well, be healthy and how not to sleepwalk our way into heart disease.
But more importantly, it looks like you have a new dog. I saw from a previous video that your last dog sadly passed. Wishing you many happy and healthy adventures with Layla. Yay for Layla!
Another fantastic plantchompers video! Thanks for working so hard on these.
In the comments on your PFAS video you mentioned to me that you were possibly going to have some foods you buy tested. Any chance that happened?
Thanks! I contacted a bunch of food testing companies but so far I've only found ones who do it in large quantities for food companies. 😵💫
You're both right! The USC prof has a point; try it yourself, measure your blood pressure then cut sugar and high glycemic food for a few days and measure blood pressure again.
The Beef Industry Digital Command Center is out in full force in the comments, as expected....
Sure must be a lot of people who are going by their own healing experiences instead of agenda-funded studies. What complete morons. Always listen to experts instead of what you can see, hear, think, and feel for yourself. We are only lowly peasants, after all. How dare any of us try something without being told by an expert that it would work. Worse yet, how dare we believe it worked by the results that we see and feel ourselves when our direct experience contradicts expert scientific data!! Unbelievable!!
Carnivore are going to have a hard time coping with this one. They’ll need to double up on the Sean Baker and Ken Berry pseudoscience videos and maybe get a little more motivation from Steak and Butter girl and her nonsense videos.
Have you ever tried to eat carnivore? Are you just going by all the so-called science out there?
@@goozfrabah579 I’m not dumb enough to eat carnivore but I was dumb enough to do keto for a number of years and it did quite a lot of damage. I’m so much healthier now by every metric.
absolutely
@@goozfrabah579 the issue is mainly about the pseudoscience that these carnivore doctors use to “prove” their narrative. Humans can do well eating all types of healthy food. - Plants aren’t trying to kill you.
Watching Dr. Anthony Chaffee videos is often annoying because of the level of pseudoscience that uses as a narrative to justify his plant phobias. From listening to
Him he actually doesn’t like the way plants taste in the first place. Some ppl are like that but no need to make the stupid Cassowary comparison to scare patients about eating a piece of fruit. The other stupid thing he goes on about is the Castor Bean poison and the manioc / yucca bashing. Some people who must not know much about food or plants in the first place take that as evidence that plants are trying to kill you.

@@Viva-Longevityyou really don’t know about seed oils? A man who constantly reads medical journals and is so eloquently spoken as you? I don’t believe it.
@nelsonjv1 Yes, I made two episodes about them. No matter how hard I looked, I couldn't find credible evidence of harm from seed oils other than their association with processed food. And I wanted to believe there was harm for many reasons - their ultraprocessed nature, their harm to the planet, etc. ruclips.net/video/qInpEKHdjXk/видео.html
One of the push backs suggested Plant Chompers try and contact Dr Chaffee for clarification, but first I’d like to know if Dr Chaffee tried to contact Framingham Heart Study for clarification.
22 sets of twins tried both vegan and meat diets. Researchers at Stanford University studied the twins' cardiovascular health. After eight weeks following their respective diets, the twin siblings who ate a vegan diet had lost more weight, reduced their LDL, or "bad" cholesterol, and experienced lower insulin levels, according to the study's findings. "The findings from this trial suggest that a healthy plant-based diet offers a significant protective cardiometabolic advantage compared with a healthy omnivorous diet," the study's authors wrote. The study, published Nov. 30 in the journal JAMA Network Open.
INTERHEART STUDY, a global case-control study, investigated risk factors for acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) in various populations. It found that a high intake of fruits and vegetables was associated with a lower risk of heart attack, emphasizing the cardiovascular benefits of plant-based foods.
Awesome video! Thanks a lot!
Good stuff. It's all about the science and it's interpretation... The truth is out there...
6 month on CARNIVORE diet now, it changed my life! Never feel so better. I am 65 years old and just wish I could have known this diet much earlier!
You can do all these things on a whole food plant based diet and live longer to without the diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and dementia.
Never been a documented case of a strict carnivore living to 100. There is an ever increasing number of vegans surpassing that milestone with all their mental faculties intact 🤔
You know, I'm neither vegan nor vegetarian but I do accept that a largely plantbased diet is superior to both omnivorous and carnivorous diets.
I generally eat meat for about two to three meals out of 21 meals a week.
I love that your work is so well researched.

Dairy consumption increases breast cancer.
Dairy is full of the hormone estradiol because the dairy cow is milked while it is pregnant and it has been measured in the milk. The 7th day Adventists are often studied because they are health conscious, don’t drink alcohol or smoke, and eagerly participate in studies. ADVENTIST HEALTH STUDY 2 showed the more milk the Adventists consumed the higher the breast cancer. This study was confirmed by a study in China, CHINA KADOORIE BIOBANK STUDY. The Conclusion: The more dairy you consume the higher your breast cancer risk. ¼ cup/day of milk increases breast cancer risk by 17%.
CHRIS!!! It’d be so great if you got to talk to Gary Null. I’ve been listening to him on the radio since the mid 90’s. He’s so well researched in food and nutrition studies, deeply ethical about his work in reporting things to the public as well as a lifelong vegan and animal rights advocate. A talk between you two would be phenomenal!🙏🏻
