On this same note, dog food manufacturers are using grains and vegetables in their formulas. My vet informed me that my senior dog is developing diabetes. When I questioned her about a carnivore diet for my dog she said that it wouldn't help but I would need to give my dog insulin shots for the rest of her life. I am going to move to a carnivore diet for my dog and see what happens.
I took my 13 year old dog off all dog food, I feed her lamb, brown rice and some raw veg. She had not been doing well but I was afraid since everyone warns against a homemade diet. But I figured if it didn’t kill me it wouldn’t kill her, either. 3 months later and she’s doing great.
I grew up in Japan and now I'm in Italy. My grandfather died at the age of 107. And NO, he did not die from Cancer, diabetes or any brain related disease. He just passed on quietly in his sleep. He ate red meat like twice a week, mostly during the weekends and he also ate other kinds of meat during the week mostly at lunch. He always told me that the secret to his longevity was not because he was a vegetarian but because he never touched sugar or processed foods. What he consumed was a balanced Mediterranean diet which included meats, fish, chicken, cheeses and different varieties of vegetables including broccoli which he loved. He often doused his veggies with extra virgin olive oil which he also ate with his grass fed red meat. He often limited his carb intake. He got honey from our local farmers which he often took with milk thirstle, moringa or olive leaf tea with the comb and everything. As someone who grew up in Italy and Japan, I have had the privilege of interviewing over 11 centenarians to know what they ate. 10 out of the 11 were not vegetarians. They all consumed animal proteins. Another thing I forgot to mention is that my grandfather ate mostly twice a day. Breakfast and lunch were the most common times he ate as far as I can remember. On weekends he often ate only lunch and dinner. He also loved dark chocolate which he often took with him for his long walks in the mountainsides. But the chocolates were homemade, from cacao powder, with extra virgin olive oil, and a bit of monk fruit. Sometimes with xylitol.
Your grandpa was a really smart man! Not eating any veggies or fruits is just stupid. Whole carbs do not equal refined carbs, thats what most don't understand.
57 years old, vegetarian since the age of 7, people always comment how well i look. Feel good too. Diet is a personal choice and i respect everyone's choices. There are plenty of healthy carnivores, vegetarians and vegans in the world. The problem seems to be with heavily refined and processed foods rather than any specific diet.
YES! You summed it up in your third sentence, "Diet is a personal choice . . .", The biggest problem with vegans especially and many vegetarians is that they seem to look at it almost like a religion and they are trying to spread their gospel. For myself, I go through phases where I eat very few veggies then, for what ever reason, I'll eat very few meats and almost all vegetables. Now over 70 with very little health issues. Can still spend 2+ hours pushing a lawnmower or working behind an old fashioned roto tiller without having to take a break. I think you are 100% correct in that heavily processed foods do seem to be the problem. I can't think of anything more ultra processed than artificial meat.
@@harveybc Well said, yes many vegans are very pushy about their diet, quoting science articles and it's easy to quote counter-examples so no point in anyone doing that :)
@@gwmcklintock Yes totally. I can understand something like keto for those with diabetes, but in the absence of a chronic condition there's no need to have a highly-specialised diet, as far as i know.
I was 'vegan' for 30 years LONG before it was trendy. At 40, I noticed that food had changed: it was getting harder to find certain foods, research on organic farming was iffy and my body didn't feel right all of a sudden. It was at that time I decided to produce my own nourishment: grow fruit and vegetables (I suggest that everyone do this). For years the government has provided foods that were hybridized and we didn't know. I'm a city dweller - you find your substance when and how you can. In more research, I also realized that the reason my skin was suffering so was the lack of certain enzymes, vitamins, etc. from meat. I became vegan not because of health but the policies of process of meat, poultry, etc. I had to make a hard choice: eat meat or stay sick. Now, here I am at 58 - eating meat (at 40) and small amounts of my own produce. My skin cleared up within 6 weeks of eating meat (collagen does wonders). I do have a fasting lifestyle (I eat every two days or so) and feel absolutely fantastic!! My eating practices aren't for everyone BUT, I do believe that humans should eat SOME meat. Thanks for reading my rant. 😄
Either plant or animal quality food is hard to find. I think best to eat local and very fresh and to eat as many meals as possible out doors during daylight. Dr. Jack Kruse MD... A neurosurgeon and optimal health educator has added physics to biology and he connected a lot of dots in my understanding of physical health. He teaches that photosynthesis is the best thing we get from food and that light is more about health than food. He also teaches other lifestyle factors more important than food.
great! I am planning to do 24 hours fast every other day meaning eating at night every other day and on next day i will eat 2 meals and some fruits as third meal. For how many years you are eating every 2 days. What do you eat and calories! thank you
As a child all I wanted was meat. I didn't want sweets, bread - just meat, eggs and dairy. As I grew up and ate school lunches, processed food and pop my stomach rebelled. Doctors always made me worse. I finally determined to do the opposite of everything they told me and started getting better. Now, here I am. 59, back to carnivore and recovering. Thank you.
I tell people forget veggies. Kids know what's going on. I always had the appetite for meat. I was forced to eat veggies... man, were parents ape $×!+ crazy.
I loved meat and hated most vegetables as a child. Always wanted sandwiches in which the flavor of the meat overwhelmed everything else. Now I’m almost a carnivore and that particular childhood dream has been realized.
As someone that was raised a vegetarian, I was always hungry and fat. Wtf, it was supposed to be healthy. Switched to carnivore at 44 and healthier than ever thanks to docs like you and dr berry! It’s just logical and thank you!
@@prebensvensson3078 all packaged vegetarian food is junk food. It contains enough sugar to reach the “bliss point” regardless of whether it’s a cake, bread, or anything else. Sugar comes in many forms.
My belief is this: Our species evolved to survive on the available food sources. When animal food was scarce, those who could not survive on plants left the gene pool. When extreme famine happened, those who could not fast for long periods left the gene pool. We are a species that exists on what is available. We are the survivors of those tough times. We are a species that has not evolved (yet) to deal with unlimited food sources in unlimited variety, regardless of season or location. My particular bloodline comes from harsh and scarce winters. The idea that I can feast 365 days a year on every food source available on this planet is totally foreign to my body. I try to respect that.
That is why a digestive tract with no cecum gives us a pretty solid clue that we don't eat primarily plants. Also, if we survived due to carbs, we would likely be required to eat them, which we are not. Neither of those point to us being survivors of people evolved on plants. I also have the personal opinion that starting the process of clearing sugar from the body every instant you ingest some does not lead me to the conclusion that we need to consume it, it leads me to the conclusion that it is a toxin being cleared for a reason. Right or wrong on this one, not eating any sugar to speak of for years has certainly improved my health by leaps and bounds. I am not opposed to eating pretty much anything that is edible, but not being opposed to it and understanding that much of what we can eat isn't necessarily good for us are two different things to think about and are not thought about enough by many of us.
My pigs accidently got some Beyond Burgers in their feed. Wife brought home some leftovers from work (private school). They ate everything, but refused to touch the fake burgers. They know what's edible and what needs to be pushed into the dirt.
Ummm no. We raised pigs when I was younger, pigs will literally eat ANYTHING or anyone... The fact they wouldn't eat that beyond mystery "meat" is a real eye opener! I threw out a box of Cheerios in the dead of winter... NOTHING ate them, never bought that crap again.
Well said. I am primarily carnivore. Been diabetic for 10 yrs. Switched to meat based diet. Very close to coming off my meds. 54 yrs old feel 20 years younger. Lost 70 lbs. meat meat meat.

I was a typical Asian...omnivore. Healthy as a horse at 50. I completed a 2,300 mile solo bike tour of the Pacific Coast of the USA, from Vancouver, BC to San Deigo, CA to celebrate my 50th year. 2 years later I decided to go vegan, because I was convinced I will be much healthier in the years to come. In less than a year, I started to have all sorts of health problems. Began with arthritis, developed autoimmune disorder....Lupus, and Hashimoto's Disease. I haven't been able to ride a bike since 2017. Gained a lot of fat around my waste....29" to 37"! Liver disease, and insulin resistance. I had odd nerve damage, eyesight issues, lost a lot of muscle mass. I had trouble driving a car! 2022, I discovered a talk by Mkihaila Peterson on her journey to discover the all red meat (beef) diet and how it transformed her chronic health issues. I started my carnivore diet, ate beef again, which I stopped for over 10 years. I cooked with saturated fats, ate cheeses, ate eggs daily. And I didn't skimped on traditional carbs. Rice, potatoes, pasta, and artisan breads. I ate grilled cheese sandwiches, homemade pizza, mac and cream cheese, regularly. I cut out Omega-6 cooking oils, and sugar, no fruits, and I still ate some vegetables. In three months, I lost my visceral fat, and was down to 32" waistline. No more bloating, no gas, my thinning hair grew back thick. I could literally feel my how much fat was lost around my torso. I've been through this from both sides of the fence and I've learned a valuable lesson. Don't believe the BS we are being told by the FDA. And the vegan diet is a nutritional and health dead end. It is impossible for the human body to sustain on a vegan diet. One can not get all the essential vitamins and minerals on an all plant based diet.
I have had the opposite happen. At 51 I am far healthier than my peers the same age after I have been vegan for 21 years. You have to do certain things to make the vegan diet work. Nuts and seeds soaked reduces phytates, cooking greens reduces oxalates, and properly cooking beans get rid of lectins. These foods are much more healthy than meat which contains TMAO, heme iron, NEU5GC, cholesterol and trans fats.
I used to weigh 532lbs. As of a couple days ago I’m down to 342. Mostly thanks to carnivore which has helped reverse my high blood pressure, arthritis, Hydradenitis Supperativa, and gout, yes, gout, as well as anxiety and panic from CPTSD. My depression is completely gone and my default emotion is happiness all the time. Going carnivore drastically reduced my gout flare ups from completely debilitating to almost non-existent. Going carnivore saved my life. I’m a 36 year old woman and was diagnosed with gout, high blood pressure, arthritis, as well as many other diseases, before the age of 30. At age 32 I was hospitalized with lung failure from being a smoker for 18 years. Over 4 years without tobacco and over a year into carnivore, my life is completely different. People don’t recognize me if they haven’t seen for a couple years. Please, if you haven’t yet but are considering going carnivore especially if it’s your last resort, do it. Don’t give up. There is hope. You can heal. I have to add that long term fasting paired with intermittent fasting has also been a major component to my healing journey.
I know a single mother who works at Woolworths who has a similar story to you. She stopped being vegan, and her face and skin and teeth look shocking after a few years of being a regular carnivore. One day she also told me being a vegan was too hard for her. I guess I can understand if you’re working in the deli of a supermarket surround by a highly promoted/ invested product that can be addictive
Brilliant discourse, Dr. Cywes. Brought up memories from my childhood of hating vegetables and fruits. As I entered the workplace as a young adult, was influenced by the vegetarians and became overweight for the first time in my life. Now, as a 58 year old who's had type 2 diabetes for probably 30 years, am strict carnivore and slowly healing and hopefully reversing metabolic syndrome. Just hoping and praying it's not too late. Much love and respect from an happy, grateful patient. ❤️🙏
Ancestors did eat fruits in the fall to get us through the winter however the body did take a bit of damage doing it. Takes about a year for the tract to fully heal from the damage of fruit and veg
I'm mostly carnivore these days. I started back on keto in March and have lost 24kg (~53 lbs) since. I stuck to the macros for about 4 months but slowly I've started eating mostly meat and eggs. I eat some zucchini, because I love the taste, and some mushrooms now and then. I haven't felt this good in years. I have people tell me all the time that I'm doing terrible harm to my body or I'm damaging my organs but I've been doing my due diligence with my GP and my bloods and other health metrics are within normal ranges. Plus my wife says my snoring is almost non-existent now. So if I am doing harm as the naysayers are want to say, I guess I'm harming my way to a healthier, fitter body. :/
My answer to these people is " whether I'm right or wrong, I would rather feel and look healthy for a shorter time, than look and feel like shit for a longer time ". Usually that shuts them up!
I would suspect you feel much better because you've finally found a diet that basically forces you into a calorie deficit, which results in weight loss, and thus an overall healthy feel, as this has many metabolic benefits. This is something you can do with any diet, but as with basically any diet, you could point out a downside, and I think for a mostly animal product based diet, that you're doing a major disservice to specifically your gut, as you ingest way too little fiber through your diet, tremendously harming your gut microbiome, and thus harming your overall long term health. I feel as time progresses you may find your health metrics declining, but there's obviously no way for me to know for sure. This is just my opinion, do with it whatever you desire, but I just wanted to get this out there as I think it may be helpful. Greetings from Belgium
@@mvandenbroek I don't know about that. There are plenty of interviews from those who have been Carnivore between 10 and 20 years and still no issues and many of those people are in their 50s+. The carnivore diet isn't new. It's been around for a long time, it's just being publicized more now.
@@down-the-rabbit-hole You're saying there's interviews out there, which are basically case studies, we don't know what is specific to those people that makes the carnivore diet work for them. For example: there's certain genes that some people have that prevent them from absorbing much cholesterol in their gut at all, these people are called hypoabsorbers of cholesterol (underabsorbers). This is thought to be about 20-25% of the population, although this number likely varies from location to location. But that means that for 75-80% of people would likely have issues with their cholesterol if they were on a mostly or fully carnivorous diet, not to mention this isn't the only factor that needs to be considered, as there are some other (potentially) harmful things about animal products: heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are an example of this. Therefore, the carnivore diet, in my opinion, should not be generalized to the general population as a healthy diet, although for some it may be viable without high risk of developing diseases. Two clear (basically) unconditional downside to carnivorous diets however: you're likely to be defficient in fiber, and you're missing out on so many likely amazingly beneficial antioxidants from plants
@@mvandenbroek Fiber is completely over-rated. As an example, I intake zero fiber and have zero problems with constipation or other symptoms. Look into reputable doctors like Dr Anthony Chaffee and Dr Shawn Baker who are both pro carnivore and nutritionist Bart Kay has debunked alot of what you mentioned in his videos.... Also Dr Ken Berry has videos out where he talks about fiber being over-rated..... The problem is, your brain is so wired to believe what you've been told that you refuse to accept something different... Doctors use to tell you to limit your eggs every week, but I"ve had 4 eggs a day for YEARS and have absolutely perfect cholesterol. Diabetes has also been reversed thanks to the Carnivore Diet. Of course my idiot doctor had told me that it's fine to eat regular non-sugar oat-meat. I tried that and it still raised my blood sugar significantly. Once I eliminated oat-meal, my blood sugar no longer spiked... Plants are toxic, that's why so many people have so many inflammatory conditions when they eat plants, and that's also why so many people feel amazingly better once they've cut them out of their diet....Your body doesn't lie...If it tells you it doesn't like something, there's a reason for it....
I bought into the vegetarian/vegan diet and I really believed that I was doing everything responsible for excellent health and well-being. I just found out the I have a malignant tumor in my eye, which is very rare. Only about one in a million people get it. I am now on a carnivore diet hoping that I can reverse the curse. Thank you for your information. It makes complete sense to me.
My wife and I bought in also - big time. Became weak. Switched to animal-based and in our 70’s we are again extremely healthy and fit! No med’s whatsoever!
I hope you will get better soon! I just have 1 question. Has it been confirmed by doctors that it was in fact your vegan diet that has led to you having a malignant eye tumor?
My biologist husband told me all this 35 years ago. He came from the UK and taught the history and development of modern fruits and vegetables. He told me many times, " ...plants do NOT want you to eat them...."Edit: I have read the snide comments. Really, people, do I need to specifically state the following??? Living creatures capable of fleeing a predator run, hide, camouflage, fly, burrow, swim, and sometimes excrete poison to stop from being killed. Plants also produce many toxins to keep insects, animals, and humans from eating them, they are affixed. Fruits and vegetables would not exist in their current size, texture, and form except for EXTENSIVE INTENSIVE horticultural practice over hundreds of years to reduce toxins, increase size, increase sugers The wheat of 50 years ago is not the same as the heavily modified wheat of today. The chromosome count isn't even the same, and the ptotien has been bred to be much higher. 😕 Has the digestibility changed? Think carefully folks, does anyone think that rumanants do not need their specialized somaches to digest plant matter? Rumanants are exceedingly proficient at breaking down plant matter. Has anyone wondered why humans have developed symbiotic relationships with rumanants worldwide? From reindeer to cattle, to goats, people cultivated those relationships yo have a food supply. It's not like we had refrigeration. Most of our hundreds of thousands of years of existence. Canines, like many animals, developed a symbiotic relationship with humans. Why? The canines followed humans for their animal kill remains. Just like there are multiple animals who will follow a pride of lions, or a pod of whales, they know a meal will come eventually. Dogs can eat opportunistically like humans do to avoid starvation, but does anyone think dogs, canines bred by humans from wild canines were designed to graze on wheat? I would mo more feed a dog wheat than a horse a steak. Food processing removes or breaks down roughage and toxins to enable us and our dogs and cats to eat it, it doesn't mean processed foods are optimal for health. What is processing? Anything we do to make something more palatable/ digestible and or sustains the stability of the food item. From cooking to grinding to refrigeration foods are processed to allow us to have availability longer. The longer a food sits without degrading the more processed it is. All foods lose nutrients the further they are from original harvest.
OK, but how can you explain their abundance on the earth, and often times growing naturally without any intervention on mankind's part? Are they really there only for animal and insect diets, or for the earth's own benefit outside of mankind? (That type of worldview seem's also out of place with the historical nutrition as well,) While I'm on the subject, how can you explain say vast stretches of the earth where a lack of animal meat could not maintain large human populations, (there must be some historically like the Rain Forest , what were those people in that region of the world for the past 3000 years supposed to eat? (monkey meat?)
That's bollox, fruits and vegs want to be eaten. The contract is I give you nutrition and you bring my seed somewhere else. On the other hand I have not seen an animal that wants to be eaten 😂😂😂
@@adriansrfr Coconut flesh, which by the way is really hard to explain how nature has provided it organically on its own for so long, and is not capable of being eaten by most insects or animal due to it's hard shell, this is just one example a food produced by the earth for human consumption. I find it hard to believe, that evolution allowed monkeys and gorillas this food source, but the most advanced primate or hominoid, ie mankind's digestive system is not compatible ?
Dr Chaffee , The Plant Free MD, turned me around with his fantastic lectures on why "Plants are Trying to Kill you," and why our body has multiple organs to process fatty meats and NO ability to process fiber and these toxic plants! Glad to find another honest Doctor online and look forward to more of your posts!
Our body and cells don't break down fibre but our bacteria can digest and ferment fibre and turn it into a type of fatty acid for our bodies. Fibres are for the symbiotic partners we have. Maybe we could think of it as an emergency backup toward ketone? 🤔
@@opedromagico No technically it is the bacteria that live inside of us that turn fibre into fatty acids, like I said. For them to do this you must be familiar with eating a variety of plants so that you have the right microbiome to digest all the different types of fibres that there are. It's as if drawing nutrients from plants is a meticulous privilege/skill because it's a super complex engagement on a micro scale. If you don't have the right bacteria then attempt to digest a variety of plants may not go smoothly. On the other hand our gallbladder can help us digest meat and fats without the need from virtually any bacteria. So we seem made to be able eat meat, but plants seem a privilege to be able to eat.
@@DavisMultiverse Sorry to disappoint you, but that action occurs too far down our digestive system to be of any use: our colon can't absorb any fatty acids that are produced by the fermentation of fibre. For that we would need a herbivore-style hindgut which we don't have. So it will all end up in the poop...
@@ekondigg6751 Oh no what a disappointment! Oh poopy, so much dissapoint ☹️ nah I eat mostly meats and fruits and everything runs perfect. I can eat any vegetable and its still fine unless it goes over the majority of my intake. I guess most the bacteria are there cos they just like to hang out in places but who knows how much good effects they actually have on the brain
I’ve always said that being vegan is only been possible in the last 50 years. The only reason they can get all the required essential amino acids is the advent of the grocery store where a large variety if plants from across the world are available year round in one place. 100 years ago this wasn’t possible.
Yeah vegans must fart an enormous amount of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The WEF should totally ban vegan diets if they are really concerned with the earth.
yup, you can't have a "famine" , when a region is producing 2x times the food required to feed to local population. Both the Irish and Bengal famines, where caused by excessive EXPORTS , when there was a slight production shortfall. In BOTH cases , the British exported food to feed themselves and let the locals starve. In the Bengal famine , the British actually INCREASED food exports , during a drought. They let the Indians starve so they could feed France. It was a choice. In both cases , there was enough food to feed the locals , but the Brits refused to curtail exports.
The whole Irish potato thing, and most of the world's carbs, were designed to feed the poor so they wouldn't be eating so much meat. In Scotland and Ireland, the people were kicked off their land so wealthy landowners would have plenty of meat to hunt. Even in ancient Egypt and Rome, wheat was used to feed soldiers. There's a reason it was 'Bread and Circuses' and not roast.
Very true, in America during World War II the military demanded more carbs be produced for soldiers, said they were too shinny. Carbs are a fat person diet.
I was born in 1963. My hometown population was about 20,000 people. When I was a kid we had no convenience stores. No fast food. The first McDonalds came in 1975. Gas stations sold just gas and oil . We did have several small neighborhood grocers. They also all had meat counters. Today you walk into a Speedway or 7 Eleven and it's like pure wall to wall sugar with neon backlights built into the shelving. Candy bars piled high on the checkout counter. Colorful Slushy machines churning 24/7. It's like food porn. They even have the TV set built into the gas pump.
"We designed plants as a source of stability not as a source of nutrition." That is a very powerful line. It summarized the whole video. Thank you Doc.
That is not true, Our digestive system is the same as gorillas we have the exact same methods of digesting food as they do humans originally came from heavily forested areas with a large abundance of fruit. If that was true gorillas who eat 80% of their diet fruits and vegetables cannot possibly be eight times stronger then an adult human.
When you look in the wild only the active intelligent animals consume predominantly vegetables. 1 pound of kale contains the same amount of calcium potassium and iron Then 3 pounds of chicken
@@jamescalvin488 No, our closest animal cousins are Chimpanzees, who are omnivores that do eat seeds and nuts but also hunt other animals. But that's just the starting point, we've diverged in the millions of years since.
@@jamescalvin488 that's ridiculous😂. Our digestive system is not the same. Compare the cecum of a gorilla to a humans. Ours is now mostly our appendix. Gorillas spend their WHOLE day chewing also. Good luck with the gorilla diet 👍
I am a descendent of Irish immigrants, and I'm fairly certain the starvation was because of the taxes Britain imposed upon us and they took our farmers production of meat, cheese, etc. so the crops are all they left us with, which is how it became known as a "potato famine" one of the only crops we had to resort to. I am a pro meat diet, I just thought I'd clarify my understanding of the famine you referred to here
I was looking for a comment like yours. Yes, there was no overall shortage of food, but it was being exported out of Ireland whilst the people starved. 'Potato Famine' is a descriptor that exonerates the British (and Irish landlords) from responsibility. 'Genocide' is much closer to the truth.
I can't believe how many lies I was taught since my childhood. Fortunately, sometimes I ate eggs, fish or meat. But basically I grew up eating carbs. Thank you for much needed information.
I ate a lot of red meat when I was growing up (still do.) Physically, I’m a wreck ( I have CFS and GERD). But I’d be a lot worse off if I ate a plant-based diet.
Don't be surprised if the people who have been pushing this unhealthy diet on us are the same people that are manufacturing medication for us we all know there has been this movement to get meat off the shelves citing things like pollution from cows and so on what needs to be done here is these Tree Huggers these environmentalists these purple hair freaks need to go out and plant trees that's where we get our oxygen from and stop pushing their nonsense agenda on us electric cars not enough electricity on the grid for them batteries exploding vegetables are making us sick and they're pushing this on us the standard Canadian diet has been a farce I had to do research because I'm in pain in my body, I'm on a reduced carbohydrate diet now and I'm Not Looking Back I feel a lot better God bless@@bmwthreethreefive5798
can't belive how many lies i've been fed by my carnivore faimly who all spouted the veggie hate and fear mongering. i started having small salads and learned that not only i didnt die horribly and my energy levels didnt go down... quite the polar opposite hapened.
Wow! I did not realize it was that bad, but it makes perfect sense. I was on a low carb diet for autoimmune issues. Doing so much better on a nearly all meat diet! Less pain. Less inflammation. Clearer head too. Thanks for all you do, Doc. Your hard work and humility has benefited my life. Well done, sir.
except that you're not addressing the root cause of your problems. Carnivore is an elimination diet, not a solution to anything. BTW, let me know when you get scurvy.
@@vegan-rising carnivore is the human diet and you do not know how scurvy occurs. It's doubtful you are capable of understanding anything seeing your choice of diet. As we speak your braon is eating itself alive because of the lack of b12 and cholesterol in your diet. You WILL quit veganism within 2-5 years as literally all vegans do because it is incompatible with human life. I am 4 years animsl based and have yet to have a complaint. I used to be afraid of getting scurvy because i read that unless the animal is grassfed it will have very little vit c. So i would eat an orange literally every 6 months to prevent scurvy. Because that's how hard it is to develop it. You need to completely abstain from any source of vit c for 4+ months because the depletion rate of vit c in the body is VERY slow and all it takes is a couple of citric fruits worth of vit c to prevent it throughout the year. I assume you think vit c is caused by eating meat because meat has no vit c. This is wrong, there is vit c in muscle meats AND especially in organs. There are no essential micronutrients missing in a carnivore diet. The same can not be said about veganism. What is even more interesting however, that i found out, is that scurvy occured only in the sailors that ate hardtack, not the ones that ate dried meat. But meat was more expensive so sailors would rather get hardtack rations. The reason why this is, is because carbohydrates compete for the same metabolical pathways as vit C and vit C is also required for carbohydrate metabolism, so not only were hardtack eating sailors not getting any vit C, but any amount they would've gotten from the little meat they ate would either not get absorbed or if it was absorbed it would be used up to process carbs. Eating carbs actually straight up doubles your vit C requirements. If you think about it meat is the superior source of vit c.
@@chumbucket6184 interesting. I've been vegan for 16 years now and my brain is just fine. clearly you are unaware that B12 is stored for years, sometimes up to 10 years in the liver before one can be deficient.

I was born in an area near Düsseldorf called "Das Neandertal". I was fascinated by the cave drawings found in the region and I swear I never saw one depicting a cabbage or other plant. I totally agree with Dr. Cywes' point.
@@curiousfurious5877 There are cave paintings of plants. Maybe in the colder climates they didn't have access to as many plants. But in warmer places they did. Cave paintings of the Taino indians in the domincan republic depict plants.
This is probably the reason why I love history so much. It was really teaching us to not fall for this kind of crap about everything being so good for you, and then you find out truthfully that it’s actually harming you like in the case of greens and sugar, and some vegetables.
Thank you Dr. Cywes, you are the person that put me onto keto/carno with your videos explaining how humans evolved. I watch all of your videos , I’ve lost 20lbs , gained muscle, got rid of my psoriasis and thyroid problems. My husband has lost 70lbs and feels so much better. Thank you ❤, you’re a real life saver
My mum used to look at my dinner plate, filled with uneaten Brussel sprouts and say, ‘Jacqueline, just think of all the starving children in the world who would happily eat those’ and I’d cry out ‘they can have them mum, please just give them to anyone who needs them!’ 😜
Yeah, I became obese on grains. Not the combination of salt, fat and sugar. It was that damn oatmeal with blue berries. I just couldn’t stop. Now I’m 540lbs and eating 3 pounds of oatmeal and berries a day.
I have just come to this realization the last couple of weeks. What started my thinking on this was I had 3 customers just volunteer their experience on a carnivore diet. 2 weeks ago I decided to try it for a month.. I am diabetic, twice in the last year, one of my insulins was out of stock. I knew I had to change something to get off the insulin. Not trusting the system. My first day eating only meat, my blood sugar went to normal and has been normal since.. I did not need insulin when I ate.. I was still taking the longterm, til last night.. because my blood sugar was getting too low, I decided to try, not taking it last night.. (I had already been cutting back on it). My blood sugar was 89 this morning. Which brings me to another realization. What about the vegetables, the main ones available to us..when and where did they originate and why? Learning how we have been duped and lied to about so many things, what if we were being lied to about vegetables? I already ate mostly just meat and veggies, and only other carbs occasionally. Now it's high quality meat for me and my husband, and he isn't complaining.. Score... 😊 and I've lost 7 pounds.. Thank you for this information, I truly feel I am on the right track.
100% strict carnivore for the past year- Dr Chaffee talks well on the poisons of plants. I have had so much healing from the carnivore diet- mood improvement, arthritis, depression, IBS- the list goes on.
plants have mechanisms that defend them against ants and tiny critters like parasites, so your argument does not hold up, it's been proven to be a false talking point.
@@Brukner841 The tobacco companies lied to people for decades with studies they paid for. Follow the money for these studies on supposed "healthy" eating and you will find the truth. Only the ignorant follow someone without ever thinking for themselves. I'm not following some "shill" doctor, I've educated myself on this topic extensively over decades. For many of us Carnivore/Ketovore eaters, the proof is in the way our bodies feel on these diets. So rave against this all you want, I'm thankful people are finally becoming more aware of what the proper human diet is.
My three year old absolutely refuses to eat anything green. Throws a massive fit about any green on his plate. It’s pretty humorous watching dietary evolution in action!
Dunno how reliable that line of logic is on the three year old, simply considering that notoriously kids avoid greens, and even things like liver and often sea food (good luck with those oysters or urchin!)… on the other hand, how does he react to a chocolate chip cookie or bit of cake on his plate…? Simply to say, there’s definitely more in play there than what you’re attributing.
@@prometheas Children have a much more sensitive taste buds and will react to strong tastes. Refined sugars have only existed for a century or so, which really can't have any evolutionary indicators yet. It's likely the 'earthy' taste that people love about some vegetables just tastes disgusting to children and they don't want it. I'm 50 and I still can't stand them, even though I ate them in the past because I thought "it's good for you, so you have to."
@@prometheas Yeah...most kids love sweet things, above all else. And simple, high carb foods like white bread, pasta or cereal second. They definitely aren't born to love, what's healthy for them. I mean, I know these stories of carnivore kids, who just love eating meat...but you get the same kind of stories from vegans, so that doesn't exactly prove anything. And in my personal experience, kids usually don't go for either the meat or the veggies/fruit, when left to their own devices. They will gravitate strongly towards plain tasting, high carb foods, preferably sweet ones.

At 59, I've had a heart attack and stroke. Suffered with diabetes, high blood pressure, and brain fog. I changed my eating to a Carnivore lifestyle six months ago. My A1C went from 12.2 to 6.5. My doctor has taken me off diabetic meds. My blood pressure was also back to normal, as well as having zero brain fog. My energy levels are through the roof, and I lost over fifty pounds. You are 100% correct. We human beings were never meant to eat plants. 😔 I wish I had known this when I was younger, but it's never too late to live a healthier life. I am living proof, along with the countless other people who have found their way to a healthier more productive way of eating.
What a wonderful testimony. It surely does other bodies good. The numbers just don't lie. I'm a Carnivore/low carb newbie at 75. OMG we're supposed to die at 80 with walkers and meds. But I'm a rebel. I live with a vision of strength and wellness because of meats and testimonies like yours. Keep sharing. It's hope in the meat market.
@@doves9204 I'm just passing along what I've read. Supposedly monogastric animals have higher omega-6 fats in their flesh as opposed to ruminants (a bit more omega-3) less inflammatory. Also, I've wondered if the ruminants with their four chambered stomachs will detoxify plant toxins out more so than a monogastric animal.
Do you have an angiogram showing the widening of your arteries? Currently the only angiogram I am aware of which shows reversal of the disease itself. Many plant exclusive eaters have also gotten several long lasting ailments healed.
The 7th day Adventists are often studied because they are health conscious, don’t drink alcohol or smoke, and eagerly participate in studies. The ADVENTIST HEALTH STUDY 2, which included a large population of Seventh-day Adventists, found that individuals following a vegetarian diet (including both lacto-ovo vegetarians and vegans) had a lower risk of developing coronary heart disease compared to meat eaters. The study highlighted the protective effects of plant-based diets. Participants: 96,000 Adventists living in the U.S. and Canada.

Thank you so much for this information! We have been Keto for 5 years and recently dairy free (because of my husbands Hoshimoto's) (I lost 60lbs and my husband lost 100lbs). We are considering going carnivore. I will certainly share this video with my plant loving friends and those uncertain about a Ketogenic way of life. We just feel so much better!
@@susanfudge1737 Because keto is BS and it's been pushed to weaken people, and deprive them of the essential electorolytes which can be found in raw milk and hooonnney.

Carnivore is also no human diet we are apes... great apes to be precise. Eat a mixed diet and you will ve good. Look up Bryan Johnson He has perfect health and is on a vegan diet

Look for the channel Mastering diabetes and search for the word keto. Keto works but it is not necessary if you increase the sensitivity yo insulin through low fat diet first. By avoiding carbs you kept your blood glucose low but you get insulin resistance that you may not notice unless you eat barbs again, but if you methodically decrease fats first, after a period of time you may introduce the carbs without gaining weight. People who have done the opposite of keto have also lost weight because their insulin sensitivity increased. In the long run, the low fat diet is more sustainable. That implies especially eliminating or decreasing significantly all the vegetable oils anyways.

I'm 75. Since age of 21,I've suffered from IBS. Since my recent carnivore conversion. NO IBS. Your talk made sense. Spot on. Once again thanks for the in depth explanation.
I’ve been type 2 diabetic for 23 years (diagnosed in 2000, but probably insulin resistant for decades before!). I’ve tried probably all diets out there. I was vegan for 2 years. Nothing worked. As soon as I began eating carnivore, things improved. Weight loss, hba1c down, etc etc. By the way, I’ve loved Brussels sprouts since I was a kid in the 60s! And all the other greens, salads. Still eat a pile of greens occasionally - doesn’t seem to affect me in a negative way.
I think the operative approach in nutrition is balance heard of people with diabetes being big carnivores I know of people who consumed less vegetable mater and more meat to experiment with their diabetes, which caused their hypertension and higher cholesterol, and in turn inflammation and in turn pain and weigh gain, acerbating the diabetes
I was vegetarian for the better part of my 20’s. Ate next to no fat (bought into the low fat is healthy hype) and lots of carbs, fruits and a little veg. I was thin (I also ran a lot) but had many aches/pains, was constantly tired. I thought my lifestyle was so healthy. Really I was skinny fat, had poor digestion, and my joints and muscles hurt all the time. I also struggled with acne and constant canker sores in my mouth. Over time I got interested in heath and longevity. I read literally everything I could get my hands on about diet and health. Finally, in my mid-thirties I started eating more animal products, eggs, and some fruit/veg. I have family members who are vegan and constantly tell me that eating potatoes and cinnamon rolls (yes, I am serious) is healthier than organic, pasture raised eggs. So much of the plant based movement is propaganda. Fruits and veg with animal products work for me. I react to gluten, and pretty much all grains. The plant based hype is seriously overblown. Eat whole food (animals or plants, depending on how you respond), cut sugar and processed food/carbs. You’ll be 85% of the way to optimal health. Add in exercise and adequate sleep and you’ve done it! Thanks for sharing, doc!!
Depression also comes with plant based diet you feel like a weak bitch and think that something is wrong with you Animal products is very necessary grains are poison sugar is poison
Tanks you for this reminder that plants are mostly modified. I have suffered all my life with bad digestion and battled with weight gain. I feel so much better now that I am eating carnivore foods. For several years I have been eliminating oxalate rich vegetables and there was not much I could have but then even the few that I did have were still causing issues. Now it all makes sense.
It takes about 100 calories of grain to produce about three calories of beef, or 100 calories of grain to produce 12 calories of chicken. Researchers have found that if we grew crops exclusively for humans to consume directly, we could feed an additional four billion people.

I feel like reborn again when listen to someone with this level of common sense. Bless your heart and keep doing amazing work of unlearning the socially constructed health myths...
A very strong and well-made argument. I have been Keto for a year and have done very well on it but the evidence to go Carnivore is becoming impossible to ignore.
I was whole-food PB vegan for 3 years and my dad said to me once: “how come you’re vegan and you’re not losing weight?” I told him “Dad, did you know that the biggest earth animals are vegan?” And then it hit me. Even though I felt good on a WFPB diet, I was still overweight. It wasn’t until I started a keto with Intermittent Fasting that I saw true results. Reaching now my ideal weight, after dropping 35lbs
Humans need to have plants processed in order to consume their protein. Modern humans use "technology," ("plant based protein") Mother Nature used a cow (or a deer or a bison or an elk, etc.).
@@MH3GL this is just not true. We don't need plant protein at all. It is far inferior to animal based protein and can make us sick. One example is gluten.
Week six of carnivore, lost 13 lbs, feel great also drinking LMNT electrolytes. I'm 59 and workout regularly but couldn't drop 10 or 15 lbs like I used to. I struggled through my 50's loosing weight now with CV🐄🐮 finally getting results. Also dermatitis under my nose has cleared up. So glad to be part of this community now and learn more.
lol you will get results in the short term but you can achieve that with any diet the key is not a meat based diet it’s i know a big shocker but it’s actually a fruit based diet that’s the healthiest diet and you will love the longest it’s not grains it’s not veggies and definitely not meat go try eating that raw you’ll get infested from parasites only fruit tastes good raw no sugar or salt added it’s perfect human food it’s why we see color to see how ripe the fruit is we are fruitarians you want to cure and reverse all disease don’t go carnivore go fruitarian trust me try 1 week of each your gonna feel like a million bucks the whole pritein fat and animal stuff is a myth go try it you won’t regret it it’s the fountain of youth peace

@@pika8744lol didn’t STEVE JOBS GO FRUITARIAN …. What happened to him… stop telling people what they should do… bet you wouldn’t listen to someone if they told YOU to try carnivore diet…..your fruit is forbidden 😅😅😅😅
Many things he is saying may be true but all far off base if he is saying all these plants are not meant for human consumption...Im in superior health & eat 80% plus raw including raw whey protein, eggs, mostly fish (sardines-salmon), sometimes liver & grass fed meat.. lots of beets, apples, carrots, celery, garlic, spinach, arugula. ginger, sprouted beans, bananas, sprouted pumpkin & sunflower seeds, avocados, sweet potatoes, lemons blueberries, kiwi, cacao, broccoli & broccoli sprouts.. all super foods
To me, this is very conventional training from a medical doctor and I don’t think he’s had any actual training in nutrition which is pretty standard for the medical profession. Humans have grinder teeth for consuming grains and no carnivorous teeth to speak of. Carnivorous animals have pronounced canines with zero molars.
@@kbkatherineb3944 The nutrition doctors study is ridiculous. They study more about symptoms, medicines and medicines for the side-effects the first medicine gave you. I have a cousin that had a profound fatty liver (VERY fatty) The doctor kept giving him shit that never worked. he stumbled upon a supplement called choline & Inositol (after doing his own research) took it 3 times a day. After a month, he went back for another scan is his liver was clean as a whistle. The doctor was shocked and asked him what he did differently. He told him about the supplement and the doctor said that he had never heard of it. Nutritionists know far more than doctors do, and they still mess up and don't know it all. Speaking of the teeth. we technically have fangs but they're not as big as other carnivore animals. Have you seen a Gorilla's fangs (they eat veggies and plants) What are the fangs for??!!! It's not like they're hunting dear. This has nothing to do with anything. Do you know what an appendix serve in a gorillas body? (it's 4 feet long by the way). It's for digesting fiber and help extract nutrients from plants. ours DOESN'T work!! hmmmm Spinach has lots of iron, our body will be able to utilize about 1% or that iron, but a gorilla will utilize all of it because they have a working appendix. we are carnivores. Fiber hurts you, causes colon problems, stuffs your intestines with unnecessary shit. when you eat fiber, all you're doing is making your poops bigger, stressing your colin, experiencing gas and bloating and hindering your vitamin absorption. They used to say that Crohn's disease was incurable, costing people thousands of dollars in medication throughout their miserable lives. But now, people who go carnivore will HEAL completely in 3 months. let that sink in.. :) We have been fed lies for too long. Way too long.
I literally saved my own life eating whole plants. Recovered from BED, Anorexia, Dysthyma, Panic Disorder, dissolved both uterine and breast fibroids that I was told I'd need surgery for. Why would we be required to eat a certain diet, then not given any natural tools to acquire said food? It doesn't make any sense.
Excuse but wtf? Do you even know how those plants got to our diet? They don't grow like this on their own. Do you know what we did? We used the greatest tool we have - our brains in order to hybridize them over literal millenias. Most of leafy vegetables come from one single plant. We have excelent tools to get animal food. People can literally hunt animal until it drops exhausted to the ground. We are sweating so our bodies have very effective cooling system. On long distance we are able to outrun every single animal. Second tool is out brain, which allowed us to make anything from first sharp tools to supercomputers.
We started out as scavengers, no tools necessary. When we eat only meat, our stomach acid can still get strong enough to digest carrion. Why would we have that ability if we couldn’t use it. Now here is the next thing, our stomach acid can not get nearly as acidic on a plant based diet.
I am a long term vegan. I am 55 and have zero disease. I also have the figure I had in high school. People comment how young I look. I a void gmos. I think studies that show the results of diet are more important than the history of plants. Plants have been good for me.
Native Americans in the US Pacific Northwest ate wild camas root as a mainstay in their diet in addition to wild game, fish, shell fish, nuts, and berries. The roots were starchy like potatoes. They ate them freshly cooked as well as dried in quantity as an important source of stored food over the winter. Camas root was a large part of their diet. So, there was more to the native diet then was noted.
Point being plant sourced food was limited, hunting always for the most dense source of energy. Like comparing green energy to oil, foolish to consider the former this day and age.
@@rickkristofek5296 No, hunting was not 'the biggest source of food'. You assume. Plant sourced food was not "limited". The three sisters, corn, beans, and squash was a massive source of food. Native people introduced most of the plants that humans still eat today.
Im asian and our ancestors years ago ate both meat and plants with a staple of rice.. they did not have chronic diseases until processed food were introduced.
Very good presentation. I understand the role of fruits and veggies as a backup plan. We have been pure carnivore for about four months, tons of benefits zero detriments. We moved a few weeks ago and had a hard time figuring out the local meat sources (new country, new language, not just a new neighbourhood) so we ate at restaurants for a week… purely out of necessity and having to eat other stuff. Now we’ve got the local butcher dialled in and got the grill going and are getting back on track. Just that week of falling off the wagon and we can see the beginnings of all the negative effects that we have put up with for most of our lives.
Maybe Brussel sprouts were bitter, and most plants we eat now have been modified, but that doesn’t mean they were bad before, and definitely doesn’t mean they didn’t exist(??). I am from Australia, and the native plants here have not been modified to eat. I can list a number of plants that have not been modified but taste great, and are very good for you in under a minute, here we go. I’ve eaten plenty of: silky pears, kangaroo apples, flax lily berries, native red currants, pig face fruits (more delicious than modified fruit) quandongs, brambles (the original strawberry), blackberry nightshade, Warragul greens, chickweed, dandelion leaves, non modified plums, geebungs, native lime, mulberries, blackberries, wattle seeds, the list goes on and on. Also meat is a lot more dangerous to eat, and could possibly kill you if eaten uncooked. I don’t know of any species of carnivore that has to blast the bacteria out of it with fire in order to be able to eat it. Just something to consider.
We are not vegetarians, but love our veggies and the fact that we can grow food on our tiny urban lot is a security factor that must be taken into account. Love meat, but can’t grow it and can’t afford much. Wish we had an acre or two for some small ruminants but plants will fill our bellies. We’d better figure out fermenting to offset the toxins. Fortunately, as long as we avoid the high-carb containing plants, we don’t have any significant issues. Dr. Berry’s “carbohydrate knob” seems to be safe turned up a little higher for us. $$$ prevent us going full carnivore. We certainly have benefited from removing factory food and sugar, as well as eating from our organic homegrown stuff. Down pounds and up well being, for sure. We’ll check out that book. Sounds interesting
Fermenting is wonderful, I made sauerkraut this year. I put a tiny amount on my plate when we're eating German sausage or hotdogs. Planning kimchi next!
Weird, I've been a vegetarian for 36 years (albeit not vegan). I'm 50 and feel amazing. I eat tons of nuts, beans, veggies and occasionally whole grain home made breads. It can be done, or at least it is working well for me (along with 18:6). People think I am in my 30s. I do strength resistance training and dance as much as possible. Maybe i am an outlier, but also an example that healthy (and happy) vegetarians can exist.
No one says Vegetarians or Vegans can or can't exist, no one cares. He just answers to an argument by so many vegans: "humans are herbivores" We are not, when we talk about herbivores we are not referring to juicy apples, we're talking about cellulose which can't be digested by humans.
They said "Maybe i am an outlier, but also an example that healthy (and happy) vegetarians can exist." You said: "Vegetarians yes. Vegans no." I said: "Actually, according t the research, people eating balanced VEGAN diets have achieved some of the best health outcomes ever recorded.
@@sam-nariman6236 "when we talk about herbivores we are not referring to juicy apples, we're talking about cellulose which can't be digested by humans." And nonetheless promotes good health through pushing food through the digestive tract--thus reducing constipation and diverticulitis--and by binding toxic and potentially carcinogenic compounds in bile acids and removing them from the body.
My parents and grand grand grand parents were always eating meat at almost every meal. Meat was always the main dish, veggies and fruits and the rest always came last and a very small portion in their plates and they all lived 90+ years. Vegans cannot make it in long term because veggies and fruits have far too much fructose that is not well digested by the liver., Simple has that.
Wonderful! I love your passion. I was told by a recently converted vegan that because of our teeth, we were not meant to eat meat. Still, I have never had a problem eating meat and humans have always had fire to cook with. In addition, we hunt in groups and have hands that can hold our prey. We don't need 5 inch fangs to hold our food. On and on. I am currently 63 and I have been low carb for a little over a year. Even the vegan has asked me if I would be his trainer. I have not been this ripped since high school and I am more muscular. If you eat only plants, you become a vegetable. If you eat meat you become a beautiful, muscular animal.
I am 57. I always avoided sugar, my entire adult life, I just knew we shouldn't eat so much of it. Avoiding sugar kept me reasonably thin my whole life, but never in the top level of fitness I thought I could be. I did not avoid carbs until 10 months ago, I tried low carb because I have always experimented with my health and fitness. I cannot overstate the impact of low carb! Most who try to go low carb will gravitate to eggs, meat, fish and dairy because of convenience. I still eat above ground veggies, but no fruits or tubers. I do not know if it is the low carb or the increase in animal food sources, but I feel better now than 10 years ago. I am not speaking anecdotally. I can grab the basketball rim again, I lost that ability years ago, I thought forever. I can easily bench my weight and then some, I lost that ability a decade ago, I had accepted that I was getting weaker with age. Additionally, my low level joint pain is gone, (left knee mostly) I had accepted as part of aging is totally gone.
Research done in UK universities have proved our teeth are designed to eat meat ,we are not designed to kill with our teeth and of course our teeth can handle fish very well!
Just found your channel. I was a Whole Foods plant based weight neurotic vegan for 7 years. Never been more sick in my life. Added in meat again. Got better. Still trying to reach a more optimal state of health. Of all the carnivore /kept videos and Channels I’ve found … yours is by far the best. Incredible arguments.

I've been plant based for many years . Never felt better....with that said I will eat oily fish now and again. Many vegans miss omega 3. Vert important for brain function/health.
Ok but our animals are also hybridized and gmo. We never before eat cows or pigs on this much big scale. To hunt mammoth we needed few days and it was not always succesful so small birds similar to chicken was in menu. We have never eaten so much of only meat like todays carnivores. What about herbivores, they live on eating plants and are fine. I think people are omnivores and that mean we can be good both on carnivore and vegan.
According to the computer models out of Norway, a 20-year-old who went all in on the plant-based diet could add 10.7 years to their life for a female and 13 years to their life for a male. Females and males over 60 could add 8 and 8.8 years of life respectively. An 80-year-old who started a plant-based diet could add 3.4 years to their life expectancy, according to the study, published in February 2022 in PLOS Medicine.

Were you eating just cabbage ? When professional athletes are performing well off plants and other sedentary people who have far less of a nutritional demand are claiming their body is deteriorating then something is really wrong with how they are doing this.

@@cyclingseth4580 You can be a high level athlete off of plants, just like you can be a rapper off of fried chicken. It is doable but it serves no purpose. The reason why vegan athletes are such a minority is simply because the diet is subpar, so it serves no purpose other than virtue signalling. It is also why we are seeing the rise of cheaganism such as Nate Diaz who claims to be vegan while munching on animal products.
Plants have their benefits. Like Sten Ekberg says, it's about having the right balance. There was a dentist or doctor that went around the world to study people and their diet. What he noticed is that people had a balance diet of meat and vegetables. They didn't have a lot of processed foods like we do in America
@@jarielrotta135 exactly! I used to believe that veganism was the proper diet for all. It wasn't until I came across Sten Ekberg videos, then I learned that it's about balance
No, that's not a fair summary of what he noticed. Yes, it's true that the lack of processed foods is very important; but that's not all. What he also noticed is that ALL healthy populations ate SOME animal products, and the animal products they cherished the most were extremely nutrient-dense. Grass-fed meat and dairy, fish roe and organ meats - largely things that have all but disappeared from the modern Western diet - were some of the most highly prized foods all over the world amongst primitive peoples. Many cultures reserved the best bits of those animal products for pregnant women, because they knew it would help ensure the health of the baby. Close observation suggested to him that those foods contained thus-far-undiscovered fat-soluble vitamins that were lacking in the modern diet. (Which he turned out to be correct about, and they are vitamins that are only present to any real absorbable degree in animal foods.) Glossing over that is pretending the presence or absence of animal products in a diet is irrelevant, and what matters is whether or not they are processed foods. That's not what his research found. The food DOES matter. The book is "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration," written by Weston A. Price ("the Darwin of nutrition" I've heard him called, and I think it's apt). I've been told the book was hard to get for a while due to being out of print, but it's on Amazon now. I think everyone should own a copy.
I was recently introduced to Black Rice at dinner with friends. When I asked what was so good about it, I was told that it contains far more 'nutrition' than any other sort of rice in the world. I didn't want to deflate my friends so ate it anyway but I did ask for a small serve. It was expensive and was, sort of, tasty but I won't be buying any. I don't eat rice!
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.

As someone of mixed heritage...i look deeply toward ancestral eating. Native American..European...Asian...African..South American....Human. Across the board...my ancestors were animal based and plant were for survival. My grandmother from South Carolina always ate fruits and vegetables in season. Seasonality has been so skewed.
Native Americans ate animals and plants including corn and tubers. Europeans ate legumes and grains. No tribe or civilisation apart from the Inuit ate plants only as a backup food they were omnivores with most eating more plant foods than animals. This carnivore thing is a cult.
Saw the difference between a vegan woman and one who ate meat and drank raw milk on RUclips and the difference is absolutely astounding and definitely definite proof of the latter being much healthier.
It's so interesting that Michael Pollan could get this subject (modern farming) so correct, and still get the connected subject of modern diet so phenomenally wrong.

I have a few cousins that went vegetarian at one point and they both just gained a lot of weight. I eat meat daily but also love my veggies. It seems to be working out. Avoiding copious amounts of sugar and processed foods. I just wonder though, why does the fact that these plants didn't exist in the past have to mean they're not healthy now?
He didn't state that by virtue of them not existing a thousand years ago they're inherently unhealthy; what he said is that we definitely did not thrive on these plants as a species since for our entire time on this world, until very recently, we did not have nor depend on said plants
I have been trying meat only diet (organ meats) for the last few weeks and I feel mentally and physically so fit. I feel like reverse aging. All pains and headaches gone !!!
Be VERY carful eating only organ meats. Considering they are less than 5% of the animal, they should not be more than 5% of your diet. Many people crave organ meats when they start carnivore as they are nutrient dense, but that craving declines over time as your body replenishes lost nutrients. I'm a 4 year carnivore and now only eat organ meats occasionally because I enjoy them, not because I crave them.

Problem nowadays is - Everyone, just everyone is pushing their own agenda and ideology. Reality and truth always lies in between. I am an Indian and have seen so many people who were pure vegetarians thorughout their whole life, lived extremely healthy life and even lived till 100, 105 years with out even visiting dotors for years. Problem is factory made food, processed food, heavy usage of added sugars and artificial colors and sweeteners, processed oil, fried foods etc. People who tried vegetetain diet and fell ill is simply because their body could not adjust to the changed diet as they have been meat eaters for years, same applies to me, i tried eating meat 3-4 times and it made me extremely sick. I am a pure vegeterian by birth, all my blood markers are extremely fine. There is no one meal that can fit everyone, eating habits and your meal types are your personal choices which you have acquired for years and centuries. Just eat a well balanced natural diet (either veg, carnivore or mixture of both) which suites your body, be physically active, practice yoga and meditation, sleep well and u will be fine till your last breath (ofcourse exceptions are always there).
You are absolutely correct and it's those individuals eating the traditional diet of their culture who are the healthiest. Sadly culture is something many western societies (including my own) lack.
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%.

Thanks doc! As a biology teacher I've had similar ideas but our culture restricts the window of conversation. Supporting your thesis is the fact that megafauna disappeared whenever we appeared. Again and again. It is also undeniable that our gut is also dedicated to the digestion of meat and fat. When I eat grains of any kind I have a reaction. Cut the bread and sugar out and now going keto but I'm taking it on slowly.
I eat carbs and get no reaction either I’m also vegan and get 150g of protein a day lift heavy weights 5x a week and my trap bar deadlift is 320 pounds
@@jeovanniperez3949 You might start following the work of Dr Sean O’Mara who has a grant from the National Science Foundation to study fat and metabolism. After 6,000 MRI’s his conclusion is that the higher the percentage of carbs the greater percentage of visceral fat (the really bad stuff). The worst case of visceral fat was from a vegan in India. The least visceral fat was from an Olympic sprinter. Apparently sprinting significantly reduces visceral fat. Long distance running increases it. That is his conclusion from 6,000 MRI’s and MRI’s are the gold standard for fat detection.
@@jeovanniperez3949 Your recovery time from workouts is impacted. There is not such thing as not getting a reaction from eating carbs, unfortunately, as all carbs cause inflammation.

I can tell you that there will be a difference, if you try it.
The thing is when I mentioned to my wife I'd go Carnivore (lifestyle) she was first shocked but then we discussed the matter, and she said ”check which foods we eat for 100's of thousands of years”. So I went and did some research, and not much to be honest. So I'm fully gone away from veggies and fruits and the lot. Thanks for this video, which was very educational. 🎉
Really a fascinating review of our plant history. So important for everyone to realize the truth about plants versus animal sources of food as it relates to our evolutionary history and our optimal diet today. Growing up in my early years on a sheep ranch we ate a lot of meat. My dad was mostly carnivore in the 1960s. In spite of a good early example, had a misguided stint as a vegetarian for 6 years in my teens to age 21. Got so anemic they threatened blood transfusions. At 61 after some health challenges happy to have settled back on meat. Especially red meat. Happy to have learned what is so easily hidden from us by all the colorful fruits and veggies and manufactured fake food. Humans are highly creative as a species. It's not surprising we fooled ourselves into believing some of that stuff we made is what we're really supposed to eat. Happy to finally be disabused of the notion. Yay, proper human diet. We are actually obligate carnivores and become unhealthy over time, from too many carbohydrates. Both from plants with phytotoxins and from manufactured simple carbohydrate treats that have no place in our diets. Very interesting video! New subscriber.
I’m 60 , not eaten meat in 40 years and I’m in better shape than meat eaters 30 years younger . 6’2 and 190 , most people on here will have tummy fat ,not me !
Hi Dr.. .thanks for the video. We have been Keto for 8 yrs and Carnivore for 7 years. Doing great on thus diet. As a biologist I can quickly confirm that most vegetables did not exist more than a few hundred years ago. Also my ancestors, coming from Northern and Central Europe did not, until VERY recently have out of season fruits and vegetables. This was only since modern industrial shipping modes.

Great to hear you’re getting fit I know a vegetarian who cut sugar and monitored carbs along with intermittent fasting, and she lost a lot of weight without becoming carnivore. Her nutritionist also explained to her about her hormones, which impacts both men and women, particularly in the mid 40’s
@@antoniotorcoli5740 I call BS on that story, veganism wasn't much of a thing more before the 90's and we lacked both the pharma and the knowledge back then to make it plausible without being a cheagan. Anyone claiming to be vegan for more than 30 years is automatically just a liar, likewise with the random anecdotes of people looking 20 years younger magically from just plants.
Our teeth say we are omnivores with a predisposition for plant matter. That doesn't mean we only eat plants, we are scavengers and eat anything from seeds, nuts, fruits, grass, insects and meat. What we need to drop is the refined carbs (sugar and flour) that is in everything including icecream, chocolate, fish food and dog & cat food. Honey eaters, hummingbirds and lorikeets (birds) can tolerate lots of sugar because they evolved to do so. Finches and parrots evolved to eat grains, while raptors evolved to eat meat. People evolved to eat anything and need a varied diet with some plant and meat but little in the way of sugar and grains.

On this same note, dog food manufacturers are using grains and vegetables in their formulas. My vet informed me that my senior dog is developing diabetes. When I questioned her about a carnivore diet for my dog she said that it wouldn't help but I would need to give my dog insulin shots for the rest of her life. I am going to move to a carnivore diet for my dog and see what happens.

@@MrPaulNimeno Thanks.
I took my 13 year old dog off all dog food, I feed her lamb, brown rice and some raw veg. She had not been doing well but I was afraid since everyone warns against a homemade diet. But I figured if it didn’t kill me it wouldn’t kill her, either. 3 months later and she’s doing great.
And dogs are living shorter lives and dying of cancer all because of the garbage plant food that is the main ingredient in the commercial dog food

I grew up in Japan and now I'm in Italy. My grandfather died at the age of 107. And NO, he did not die from Cancer, diabetes or any brain related disease. He just passed on quietly in his sleep. He ate red meat like twice a week, mostly during the weekends and he also ate other kinds of meat during the week mostly at lunch. He always told me that the secret to his longevity was not because he was a vegetarian but because he never touched sugar or processed foods. What he consumed was a balanced Mediterranean diet which included meats, fish, chicken, cheeses and different varieties of vegetables including broccoli which he loved.
He often doused his veggies with extra virgin olive oil which he also ate with his grass fed red meat. He often limited his carb intake. He got honey from our local farmers which he often took with milk thirstle, moringa or olive leaf tea with the comb and everything.
As someone who grew up in Italy and Japan, I have had the privilege of interviewing over 11 centenarians to know what they ate. 10 out of the 11 were not vegetarians. They all consumed animal proteins. Another thing I forgot to mention is that my grandfather ate mostly twice a day. Breakfast and lunch were the most common times he ate as far as I can remember. On weekends he often ate only lunch and dinner. He also loved dark chocolate which he often took with him for his long walks in the mountainsides. But the chocolates were homemade, from cacao powder, with extra virgin olive oil, and a bit of monk fruit. Sometimes with xylitol.
Your grandpa was a really smart man! Not eating any veggies or fruits is just stupid. Whole carbs do not equal refined carbs, thats what most don't understand.
Love this personal family testimony!
What He Ate Way Back Then Is Not Available To Eat Now .
Thank you for sharing your story.

57 years old, vegetarian since the age of 7, people always comment how well i look. Feel good too. Diet is a personal choice and i respect everyone's choices. There are plenty of healthy carnivores, vegetarians and vegans in the world. The problem seems to be with heavily refined and processed foods rather than any specific diet.
You are exactly correct.
YES! You summed it up in your third sentence, "Diet is a personal choice . . .", The biggest problem with vegans especially and many vegetarians is that they seem to look at it almost like a religion and they are trying to spread their gospel. For myself, I go through phases where I eat very few veggies then, for what ever reason, I'll eat very few meats and almost all vegetables. Now over 70 with very little health issues. Can still spend 2+ hours pushing a lawnmower or working behind an old fashioned roto tiller without having to take a break.
I think you are 100% correct in that heavily processed foods do seem to be the problem. I can't think of anything more ultra processed than artificial meat.
@@harveybc Well said, yes many vegans are very pushy about their diet, quoting science articles and it's easy to quote counter-examples so no point in anyone doing that :)

@@gwmcklintock Yes totally. I can understand something like keto for those with diabetes, but in the absence of a chronic condition there's no need to have a highly-specialised diet, as far as i know.
I was 'vegan' for 30 years LONG before it was trendy. At 40, I noticed that food had changed: it was getting harder to find certain foods, research on organic farming was iffy and my body didn't feel right all of a sudden. It was at that time I decided to produce my own nourishment: grow fruit and vegetables (I suggest that everyone do this). For years the government has provided foods that were hybridized and we didn't know. I'm a city dweller - you find your substance when and how you can. In more research, I also realized that the reason my skin was suffering so was the lack of certain enzymes, vitamins, etc. from meat. I became vegan not because of health but the policies of process of meat, poultry, etc. I had to make a hard choice: eat meat or stay sick. Now, here I am at 58 - eating meat (at 40) and small amounts of my own produce. My skin cleared up within 6 weeks of eating meat (collagen does wonders). I do have a fasting lifestyle (I eat every two days or so) and feel absolutely fantastic!! My eating practices aren't for everyone BUT, I do believe that humans should eat SOME meat.
Thanks for reading my rant. 😄
And the more meat one eats and the more non-meat items they cut, the better they feel! Carnivore - the proper, the optimal human diet.

He teaches that photosynthesis is the best thing we get from food and that light is more about health than food. He also teaches other lifestyle factors more important than food.

@@prebensvensson3078 all packaged vegetarian food is junk food. It contains enough sugar to reach the “bliss point” regardless of whether it’s a cake, bread, or anything else. Sugar comes in many forms.
Being vegetarian and eating healthy aren't interchangeable terms.
My belief is this: Our species evolved to survive on the available food sources. When animal food was scarce, those who could not survive on plants left the gene pool. When extreme famine happened, those who could not fast for long periods left the gene pool. We are a species that exists on what is available. We are the survivors of those tough times. We are a species that has not evolved (yet) to deal with unlimited food sources in unlimited variety, regardless of season or location. My particular bloodline comes from harsh and scarce winters. The idea that I can feast 365 days a year on every food source available on this planet is totally foreign to my body. I try to respect that.
And that ladies and gentlemen is how evolution works! Well visualized! ❤
That is why a digestive tract with no cecum gives us a pretty solid clue that we don't eat primarily plants. Also, if we survived due to carbs, we would likely be required to eat them, which we are not. Neither of those point to us being survivors of people evolved on plants.
I also have the personal opinion that starting the process of clearing sugar from the body every instant you ingest some does not lead me to the conclusion that we need to consume it, it leads me to the conclusion that it is a toxin being cleared for a reason. Right or wrong on this one, not eating any sugar to speak of for years has certainly improved my health by leaps and bounds.
I am not opposed to eating pretty much anything that is edible, but not being opposed to it and understanding that much of what we can eat isn't necessarily good for us are two different things to think about and are not thought about enough by many of us.
I agree and live this way.

I was a typical Asian...omnivore. Healthy as a horse at 50. I completed a 2,300 mile solo bike tour of the Pacific Coast of the USA, from Vancouver, BC to San Deigo, CA to celebrate my 50th year. 2 years later I decided to go vegan, because I was convinced I will be much healthier in the years to come. In less than a year, I started to have all sorts of health problems. Began with arthritis, developed autoimmune disorder....Lupus, and Hashimoto's Disease. I haven't been able to ride a bike since 2017. Gained a lot of fat around my waste....29" to 37"! Liver disease, and insulin resistance. I had odd nerve damage, eyesight issues, lost a lot of muscle mass. I had trouble driving a car! 2022, I discovered a talk by Mkihaila Peterson on her journey to discover the all red meat (beef) diet and how it transformed her chronic health issues. I started my carnivore diet, ate beef again, which I stopped for over 10 years. I cooked with saturated fats, ate cheeses, ate eggs daily. And I didn't skimped on traditional carbs. Rice, potatoes, pasta, and artisan breads. I ate grilled cheese sandwiches, homemade pizza, mac and cream cheese, regularly. I cut out Omega-6 cooking oils, and sugar, no fruits, and I still ate some vegetables. In three months, I lost my visceral fat, and was down to 32" waistline. No more bloating, no gas, my thinning hair grew back thick. I could literally feel my how much fat was lost around my torso. I've been through this from both sides of the fence and I've learned a valuable lesson. Don't believe the BS we are being told by the FDA. And the vegan diet is a nutritional and health dead end. It is impossible for the human body to sustain on a vegan diet. One can not get all the essential vitamins and minerals on an all plant based diet.
You cut out fruit?
I have had the opposite happen. At 51 I am far healthier than my peers the same age after I have been vegan for 21 years. You have to do certain things to make the vegan diet work. Nuts and seeds soaked reduces phytates, cooking greens reduces oxalates, and properly cooking beans get rid of lectins. These foods are much more healthy than meat which contains TMAO, heme iron, NEU5GC, cholesterol and trans fats.

I used to weigh 532lbs. As of a couple days ago I’m down to 342. Mostly thanks to carnivore which has helped reverse my high blood pressure, arthritis, Hydradenitis Supperativa, and gout, yes, gout, as well as anxiety and panic from CPTSD. My depression is completely gone and my default emotion is happiness all the time. Going carnivore drastically reduced my gout flare ups from completely debilitating to almost non-existent. Going carnivore saved my life. I’m a 36 year old woman and was diagnosed with gout, high blood pressure, arthritis, as well as many other diseases, before the age of 30. At age 32 I was hospitalized with lung failure from being a smoker for 18 years. Over 4 years without tobacco and over a year into carnivore, my life is completely different. People don’t recognize me if they haven’t seen for a couple years. Please, if you haven’t yet but are considering going carnivore especially if it’s your last resort, do it. Don’t give up. There is hope. You can heal. I have to add that long term fasting paired with intermittent fasting has also been a major component to my healing journey.
Good for you!

This video should be force fed into all vegan safe spaces. Thank you so much Doc. Cywes, I am on my way over to watch Botany of Desires.
Ancestors did eat fruits in the fall to get us through the winter however the body did take a bit of damage doing it. Takes about a year for the tract to fully heal from the damage of fruit and veg
Keep it up. You will heal. Needless to say.......there is no going back!!!
So what?
I'm mostly carnivore these days. I started back on keto in March and have lost 24kg (~53 lbs) since. I stuck to the macros for about 4 months but slowly I've started eating mostly meat and eggs. I eat some zucchini, because I love the taste, and some mushrooms now and then. I haven't felt this good in years. I have people tell me all the time that I'm doing terrible harm to my body or I'm damaging my organs but I've been doing my due diligence with my GP and my bloods and other health metrics are within normal ranges. Plus my wife says my snoring is almost non-existent now. So if I am doing harm as the naysayers are want to say, I guess I'm harming my way to a healthier, fitter body. :/
My answer to these people is " whether I'm right or wrong, I would rather feel and look healthy for a shorter time, than look and feel like shit for a longer time ". Usually that shuts them up!
I would suspect you feel much better because you've finally found a diet that basically forces you into a calorie deficit, which results in weight loss, and thus an overall healthy feel, as this has many metabolic benefits. This is something you can do with any diet, but as with basically any diet, you could point out a downside, and I think for a mostly animal product based diet, that you're doing a major disservice to specifically your gut, as you ingest way too little fiber through your diet, tremendously harming your gut microbiome, and thus harming your overall long term health. I feel as time progresses you may find your health metrics declining, but there's obviously no way for me to know for sure. This is just my opinion, do with it whatever you desire, but I just wanted to get this out there as I think it may be helpful. Greetings from Belgium
@@mvandenbroek I don't know about that. There are plenty of interviews from those who have been Carnivore between 10 and 20 years and still no issues and many of those people are in their 50s+. The carnivore diet isn't new. It's been around for a long time, it's just being publicized more now.
@@down-the-rabbit-hole You're saying there's interviews out there, which are basically case studies, we don't know what is specific to those people that makes the carnivore diet work for them. For example: there's certain genes that some people have that prevent them from absorbing much cholesterol in their gut at all, these people are called hypoabsorbers of cholesterol (underabsorbers). This is thought to be about 20-25% of the population, although this number likely varies from location to location. But that means that for 75-80% of people would likely have issues with their cholesterol if they were on a mostly or fully carnivorous diet, not to mention this isn't the only factor that needs to be considered, as there are some other (potentially) harmful things about animal products: heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are an example of this. Therefore, the carnivore diet, in my opinion, should not be generalized to the general population as a healthy diet, although for some it may be viable without high risk of developing diseases. Two clear (basically) unconditional downside to carnivorous diets however: you're likely to be defficient in fiber, and you're missing out on so many likely amazingly beneficial antioxidants from plants
@@mvandenbroek Fiber is completely over-rated. As an example, I intake zero fiber and have zero problems with constipation or other symptoms. Look into reputable doctors like Dr Anthony Chaffee and Dr Shawn Baker who are both pro carnivore and nutritionist Bart Kay has debunked alot of what you mentioned in his videos.... Also Dr Ken Berry has videos out where he talks about fiber being over-rated..... The problem is, your brain is so wired to believe what you've been told that you refuse to accept something different...
Doctors use to tell you to limit your eggs every week, but I"ve had 4 eggs a day for YEARS and have absolutely perfect cholesterol. Diabetes has also been reversed thanks to the Carnivore Diet. Of course my idiot doctor had told me that it's fine to eat regular non-sugar oat-meat. I tried that and it still raised my blood sugar significantly. Once I eliminated oat-meal, my blood sugar no longer spiked...
Plants are toxic, that's why so many people have so many inflammatory conditions when they eat plants, and that's also why so many people feel amazingly better once they've cut them out of their diet....Your body doesn't lie...If it tells you it doesn't like something, there's a reason for it....
I bought into the vegetarian/vegan diet and I really believed that I was doing everything responsible for excellent health and well-being. I just found out the I have a malignant tumor in my eye, which is very rare. Only about one in a million people get it. I am now on a carnivore diet hoping that I can reverse the curse. Thank you for your information. It makes complete sense to me.
May God help and cure you, all the best wishes!!!
May God be with you darling. Best to you! 🙏
My wife and I bought in also - big time. Became weak. Switched to animal-based and in our 70’s we are again extremely healthy and fit! No med’s whatsoever!
I hope you will get better soon! I just have 1 question. Has it been confirmed by doctors that it was in fact your vegan diet that has led to you having a malignant eye tumor?
try long term fasting and carnivore
My biologist husband told me all this 35 years ago. He came from the UK and taught the history and development of modern fruits and vegetables. He told me many times, " ...plants do NOT want you to eat them...."Edit: I have read the snide comments. Really, people, do I need to specifically state the following??? Living creatures capable of fleeing a predator run, hide, camouflage, fly, burrow, swim, and sometimes excrete poison to stop from being killed. Plants also produce many toxins to keep insects, animals, and humans from eating them, they are affixed. Fruits and vegetables would not exist in their current size, texture, and form except for EXTENSIVE INTENSIVE horticultural practice over hundreds of years to reduce toxins, increase size, increase sugers The wheat of 50 years ago is not the same as the heavily modified wheat of today. The chromosome count isn't even the same, and the ptotien has been bred to be much higher. 😕 Has the digestibility changed? Think carefully folks, does anyone think that rumanants do not need their specialized somaches to digest plant matter? Rumanants are exceedingly proficient at breaking down plant matter. Has anyone wondered why humans have developed symbiotic relationships with rumanants worldwide? From reindeer to cattle, to goats, people cultivated those relationships yo have a food supply. It's not like we had refrigeration. Most of our hundreds of thousands of years of existence. Canines, like many animals, developed a symbiotic relationship with humans. Why? The canines followed humans for their animal kill remains. Just like there are multiple animals who will follow a pride of lions, or a pod of whales, they know a meal will come eventually. Dogs can eat opportunistically like humans do to avoid starvation, but does anyone think dogs, canines bred by humans from wild canines were designed to graze on wheat? I would mo more feed a dog wheat than a horse a steak. Food processing removes or breaks down roughage and toxins to enable us and our dogs and cats to eat it, it doesn't mean processed foods are optimal for health. What is processing? Anything we do to make something more palatable/ digestible and or sustains the stability of the food item. From cooking to grinding to refrigeration foods are processed to allow us to have availability longer. The longer a food sits without degrading the more processed it is. All foods lose nutrients the further they are from original harvest.
In the words of Dr Chaffees lecturer Plants are trying to kill you.
OK, but how can you explain their abundance on the earth, and often times growing naturally without any intervention on mankind's part? Are they really there only for animal and insect diets, or for the earth's own benefit outside of mankind? (That type of worldview seem's also out of place with the historical nutrition as well,) While I'm on the subject, how can you explain say vast stretches of the earth where a lack of animal meat could not maintain large human populations, (there must be some historically like the Rain Forest , what were those people in that region of the world for the past 3000 years supposed to eat? (monkey meat?)
That's bollox, fruits and vegs want to be eaten. The contract is I give you nutrition and you bring my seed somewhere else. On the other hand I have not seen an animal that wants to be eaten
😂😂😂
What plant poison does your body crave the most?
@@adriansrfr Coconut flesh, which by the way is really hard to explain how nature has provided it organically on its own for so long, and is not capable of being eaten by most insects or animal due to it's hard shell, this is just one example a food produced by the earth for human consumption. I find it hard to believe, that evolution allowed monkeys and gorillas this food source, but the most advanced primate or hominoid, ie mankind's digestive system is not compatible ?
Dr Chaffee , The Plant Free MD, turned me around with his fantastic lectures on why "Plants are Trying to Kill you," and why our body has multiple organs to process fatty meats and NO ability to process fiber and these toxic plants! Glad to find another honest Doctor online and look forward to more of your posts!
Our body and cells don't break down fibre but our bacteria can digest and ferment fibre and turn it into a type of fatty acid for our bodies. Fibres are for the symbiotic partners we have.
Maybe we could think of it as an emergency backup toward ketone? 🤔
@@DavisMultiverse wait.. our body can turn fiber into fatty acids?
@@opedromagico No technically it is the bacteria that live inside of us that turn fibre into fatty acids, like I said.
For them to do this you must be familiar with eating a variety of plants so that you have the right microbiome to digest all the different types of fibres that there are.
It's as if drawing nutrients from plants is a meticulous privilege/skill because it's a super complex engagement on a micro scale. If you don't have the right bacteria then attempt to digest a variety of plants may not go smoothly.
On the other hand our gallbladder can help us digest meat and fats without the need from virtually any bacteria.
So we seem made to be able eat meat, but plants seem a privilege to be able to eat.
@@DavisMultiverse Sorry to disappoint you, but that action occurs too far down our digestive system to be of any use: our colon can't absorb any fatty acids that are produced by the fermentation of fibre. For that we would need a herbivore-style hindgut which we don't have. So it will all end up in the poop...
@@ekondigg6751 Oh no what a disappointment! Oh poopy, so much dissapoint ☹️ nah I eat mostly meats and fruits and everything runs perfect. I can eat any vegetable and its still fine unless it goes over the majority of my intake. I guess most the bacteria are there cos they just like to hang out in places but who knows how much good effects they actually have on the brain
I’ve always said that being vegan is only been possible in the last 50 years. The only reason they can get all the required essential amino acids is the advent of the grocery store where a large variety if plants from across the world are available year round in one place. 100 years ago this wasn’t possible.
Yeah vegans must fart an enormous amount of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The WEF should totally ban vegan diets if they are really concerned with the earth.
He's basically saying the same things as Dr Paul Saladino in The Carnivore Code.
It's still not possible in many other parts of the world.
@@jegr3398
Other parts of the world have sense enough to understand that the vegan diet is unhealthy. A lot of indians are vegetarian but not vegan.
@@cynthiagonzalez658 they still eat plants though ☠️
The only thing I’d add is that the “potato famine” was a famine imposed on by England, it was a forced starvation.
True
Yes
True.
yup, you can't have a "famine" , when a region is producing 2x times the food required to feed to local population.
Both the Irish and Bengal famines, where caused by excessive EXPORTS , when there was a slight production shortfall.
In BOTH cases , the British exported food to feed themselves and let the locals starve.
In the Bengal famine , the British actually INCREASED food exports , during a drought.
They let the Indians starve so they could feed France. It was a choice.
In both cases , there was enough food to feed the locals , but the Brits refused to curtail exports.
What do Irish ate before potatoes ?
The whole Irish potato thing, and most of the world's carbs, were designed to feed the poor so they wouldn't be eating so much meat. In Scotland and Ireland, the people were kicked off their land so wealthy landowners would have plenty of meat to hunt. Even in ancient Egypt and Rome, wheat was used to feed soldiers. There's a reason it was 'Bread and Circuses' and not roast.
Feed them cheap carbs. Hungry people are hard to control
Very true, in America during World War II the military demanded more carbs be produced for soldiers, said they were too shinny. Carbs are a fat person diet.
I was born in 1963. My hometown population was about 20,000 people. When I was a kid we had no convenience stores. No fast food. The first McDonalds came in 1975. Gas stations sold just gas and oil . We did have several small neighborhood grocers. They also all had meat counters. Today you walk into a Speedway or 7 Eleven and it's like pure wall to wall sugar with neon backlights built into the shelving. Candy bars piled high on the checkout counter. Colorful Slushy machines churning 24/7. It's like food porn. They even have the TV set built into the gas pump.
like the very accurate phrase: food porn.
A friggin TV in the pump? I bet it just plays ads as well 😂
"We designed plants as a source of stability not as a source of nutrition." That is a very powerful line. It summarized the whole video. Thank you Doc.
That is not true, Our digestive system is the same as gorillas we have the exact same methods of digesting food as they do humans originally came from heavily forested areas with a large abundance of fruit. If that was true gorillas who eat 80% of their diet fruits and vegetables cannot possibly be eight times stronger then an adult human.
When you look in the wild only the active intelligent animals consume predominantly vegetables. 1 pound of kale contains the same amount of calcium potassium and iron Then 3 pounds of chicken
@@jamescalvin488 No, our closest animal cousins are Chimpanzees, who are omnivores that do eat seeds and nuts but also hunt other animals. But that's just the starting point, we've diverged in the millions of years since.
@@jamescalvin488 that's ridiculous😂. Our digestive system is not the same. Compare the cecum of a gorilla to a humans. Ours is now mostly our appendix. Gorillas spend their WHOLE day chewing also. Good luck with the gorilla diet 👍
we need meat primarily, and plants for some vitamins.. vitamin c are from plants not exist in meat
I am a descendent of Irish immigrants, and I'm fairly certain the starvation was because of the taxes Britain imposed upon us and they took our farmers production of meat, cheese, etc. so the crops are all they left us with, which is how it became known as a "potato famine" one of the only crops we had to resort to. I am a pro meat diet, I just thought I'd clarify my understanding of the famine you referred to here
I was looking for a comment like yours. Yes, there was no overall shortage of food, but it was being exported out of Ireland whilst the people starved. 'Potato Famine' is a descriptor that exonerates the British (and Irish landlords) from responsibility. 'Genocide' is much closer to the truth.
I like the fact that he pauses in order for us to absorb the info. Well done doc.
I can't believe how many lies I was taught since my childhood. Fortunately, sometimes I ate eggs, fish or meat. But basically I grew up eating carbs. Thank you for much needed information.
It wasn't our parents who lied to us. They were telling us what (big pharma, usda & etc) told them.
I ate a lot of red meat when I was growing up (still do.) Physically, I’m a wreck ( I have CFS and GERD). But I’d be a lot worse off if I ate a plant-based diet.
@@carolinegray7510
Yep. They want you as sick and possible but not quite dead.
Don't be surprised if the people who have been pushing this unhealthy diet on us are the same people that are manufacturing medication for us we all know there has been this movement to get meat off the shelves citing things like pollution from cows and so on what needs to be done here is these Tree Huggers these environmentalists these purple hair freaks need to go out and plant trees that's where we get our oxygen from and stop pushing their nonsense agenda on us electric cars not enough electricity on the grid for them batteries exploding vegetables are making us sick and they're pushing this on us the standard Canadian diet has been a farce I had to do research because I'm in pain in my body, I'm on a reduced carbohydrate diet now and I'm Not Looking Back I feel a lot better God bless@@bmwthreethreefive5798
can't belive how many lies i've been fed by my carnivore faimly who all spouted the veggie hate and fear mongering. i started having small salads and learned that not only i didnt die horribly and my energy levels didnt go down... quite the polar opposite hapened.
Wow! I did not realize it was that bad, but it makes perfect sense. I was on a low carb diet for autoimmune issues. Doing so much better on a nearly all meat diet! Less pain. Less inflammation. Clearer head too. Thanks for all you do, Doc. Your hard work and humility has benefited my life. Well done, sir.
except that you're not addressing the root cause of your problems.
Carnivore is an elimination diet, not a solution to anything.
BTW, let me know when you get scurvy.
@@vegan-rising carnivore is the human diet and you do not know how scurvy occurs. It's doubtful you are capable of understanding anything seeing your choice of diet. As we speak your braon is eating itself alive because of the lack of b12 and cholesterol in your diet. You WILL quit veganism within 2-5 years as literally all vegans do because it is incompatible with human life.
I am 4 years animsl based and have yet to have a complaint. I used to be afraid of getting scurvy because i read that unless the animal is grassfed it will have very little vit c. So i would eat an orange literally every 6 months to prevent scurvy. Because that's how hard it is to develop it. You need to completely abstain from any source of vit c for 4+ months because the depletion rate of vit c in the body is VERY slow and all it takes is a couple of citric fruits worth of vit c to prevent it throughout the year.
I assume you think vit c is caused by eating meat because meat has no vit c. This is wrong, there is vit c in muscle meats AND especially in organs. There are no essential micronutrients missing in a carnivore diet. The same can not be said about veganism.
What is even more interesting however, that i found out, is that scurvy occured only in the sailors that ate hardtack, not the ones that ate dried meat. But meat was more expensive so sailors would rather get hardtack rations. The reason why this is, is because carbohydrates compete for the same metabolical pathways as vit C and vit C is also required for carbohydrate metabolism, so not only were hardtack eating sailors not getting any vit C, but any amount they would've gotten from the little meat they ate would either not get absorbed or if it was absorbed it would be used up to process carbs. Eating carbs actually straight up doubles your vit C requirements. If you think about it meat is the superior source of vit c.

This is probably the reason why I love history so much. It was really teaching us to not fall for this kind of crap about everything being so good for you, and then you find out truthfully that it’s actually harming you like in the case of greens and sugar, and some vegetables.
A doctor is not a reliable historian.
Thank you Dr. Cywes, you are the person that put me onto keto/carno with your videos explaining how humans evolved. I watch all of your videos , I’ve lost 20lbs , gained muscle, got rid of my psoriasis and thyroid problems. My husband has lost 70lbs and feels so much better. Thank you ❤, you’re a real life saver
My mum used to look at my dinner plate, filled with uneaten Brussel sprouts and say, ‘Jacqueline, just think of all the starving children in the world who would happily eat those’ and I’d cry out ‘they can have them mum, please just give them to anyone who needs them!’ 😜
I felt like you were telling me off then 🤣🤣

I have just come to this realization the last couple of weeks. What started my thinking on this was I had 3 customers just volunteer their experience on a carnivore diet. 2 weeks ago I decided to try it for a month.. I am diabetic, twice in the last year, one of my insulins was out of stock. I knew I had to change something to get off the insulin. Not trusting the system.
My first day eating only meat, my blood sugar went to normal and has been normal since.. I did not need insulin when I ate.. I was still taking the longterm, til last night.. because my blood sugar was getting too low, I decided to try, not taking it last night.. (I had already been cutting back on it). My blood sugar was 89 this morning.
Which brings me to another realization.
What about the vegetables, the main ones available to us..when and where did they originate and why? Learning how we have been duped and lied to about so many things, what if we were being lied to about vegetables?
I already ate mostly just meat and veggies, and only other carbs occasionally.
Now it's high quality meat for me and my husband, and he isn't complaining.. Score... 😊 and I've lost 7 pounds..
Thank you for this information, I truly feel I am on the right track.

My three year old absolutely refuses to eat anything green. Throws a massive fit about any green on his plate. It’s pretty humorous watching dietary evolution in action!

Dunno how reliable that line of logic is on the three year old, simply considering that notoriously kids avoid greens, and even things like liver and often sea food (good luck with those oysters or urchin!)… on the other hand, how does he react to a chocolate chip cookie or bit of cake on his plate…?

@@prometheas Children have a much more sensitive taste buds and will react to strong tastes.

And in my personal experience, kids usually don't go for either the meat or the veggies/fruit, when left to their own devices. They will gravitate strongly towards plain tasting, high carb foods, preferably sweet ones.

Look for the channel Mastering diabetes and search for the word keto.
Keto works but it is not necessary if you increase the sensitivity yo insulin through low fat diet first.
By avoiding carbs you kept your blood glucose low but you get insulin resistance that you may not notice unless you eat barbs again, but if you methodically decrease fats first, after a period of time you may introduce the carbs without gaining weight.
People who have done the opposite of keto have also lost weight because their insulin sensitivity increased.
In the long run, the low fat diet is more sustainable. That implies especially eliminating or decreasing significantly all the vegetable oils anyways.

@@joeo7257if we were omnivores, we’d be able to digest fibers. The body cant. It’s a digestive irritant that we just poop out. Meat on the other hand, is digested at around a rate of 90+ %.
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.
Twin study Addendum: The telomere caps measured longer in the vegan group and shorter in the meat group suggesting the meat eaters were aging faster.. Additionally, the Epigenetic Biological clocks showed the vegan group was aging more slowly and the meat group was aging more quickly.

I'm 75. Since age of 21,I've suffered from IBS. Since my recent carnivore conversion. NO IBS. Your talk made sense. Spot on. Once again thanks for the in depth explanation.
I’ve been type 2 diabetic for 23 years (diagnosed in 2000, but probably insulin resistant for decades before!). I’ve tried probably all diets out there. I was vegan for 2 years. Nothing worked. As soon as I began eating carnivore, things improved. Weight loss, hba1c down, etc etc.
By the way, I’ve loved Brussels sprouts since I was a kid in the 60s! And all the other greens, salads. Still eat a pile of greens occasionally - doesn’t seem to affect me in a negative way.
People usually don’t like salad but love the salad dressing.
@@brensway haha! That's true! I usually only used olive oil!
I think the operative approach in nutrition is balance
heard of people with diabetes being big carnivores
I know of people who consumed less vegetable mater and more meat to experiment with their diabetes, which caused their hypertension and higher cholesterol, and in turn inflammation and in turn pain and weigh gain, acerbating the diabetes
I was vegetarian for the better part of my 20’s. Ate next to no fat (bought into the low fat is healthy hype) and lots of carbs, fruits and a little veg. I was thin (I also ran a lot) but had many aches/pains, was constantly tired. I thought my lifestyle was so healthy. Really I was skinny fat, had poor digestion, and my joints and muscles hurt all the time. I also struggled with acne and constant canker sores in my mouth. Over time I got interested in heath and longevity. I read literally everything I could get my hands on about diet and health. Finally, in my mid-thirties I started eating more animal products, eggs, and some fruit/veg. I have family members who are vegan and constantly tell me that eating potatoes and cinnamon rolls (yes, I am serious) is healthier than organic, pasture raised eggs. So much of the plant based movement is propaganda. Fruits and veg with animal products work for me. I react to gluten, and pretty much all grains. The plant based hype is seriously overblown. Eat whole food (animals or plants, depending on how you respond), cut sugar and processed food/carbs. You’ll be 85% of the way to optimal health. Add in exercise and adequate sleep and you’ve done it! Thanks for sharing, doc!!
Depression also comes with plant based diet you feel like a weak bitch and think that something is wrong with you
Animal products is very necessary grains are poison sugar is poison
Tanks you for this reminder that plants are mostly modified. I have suffered all my life with bad digestion and battled with weight gain. I feel so much better now that I am eating carnivore foods. For several years I have been eliminating oxalate rich vegetables and there was not much I could have but then even the few that I did have were still causing issues. Now it all makes sense.
It takes about 100 calories of grain to produce about three calories of beef, or 100 calories of grain to produce 12 calories of chicken. Researchers have found that if we grew crops exclusively for humans to consume directly, we could feed an additional four billion people.

A very strong and well-made argument. I have been Keto for a year and have done very well on it but the evidence to go Carnivore is becoming impossible to ignore.
Keto since 2021 just switched to Carnivore last month. Noticed a distinct difference in less than five days.
You don't know until you know.
I was whole-food PB vegan for 3 years and my dad said to me once: “how come you’re vegan and you’re not losing weight?” I told him “Dad, did you know that the biggest earth animals are vegan?” And then it hit me. Even though I felt good on a WFPB diet, I was still overweight.
It wasn’t until I started a keto with Intermittent Fasting that I saw true results. Reaching now my ideal weight, after dropping 35lbs
Glad you woke up. :)
Herbivorous animals are big because they have far more complex digestive systems they require in order to process their food.
I often wonder why primates (which are arguably the closest relatives to humans) are pretty much vegans.
Humans need to have plants processed in order to consume their protein. Modern humans use "technology," ("plant based protein") Mother Nature used a cow (or a deer or a bison or an elk, etc.).
@@MH3GL this is just not true. We don't need plant protein at all. It is far inferior to animal based protein and can make us sick. One example is gluten.
As a health & nutritionist coach i advocate to my clients to keep a food journal it can help find what works for you.
Sharing this kind of information is like speaking a foreign language to my friends and family.

lol you will get results in the short term but you can achieve that with any diet the key is not a meat based diet it’s i know a big shocker but it’s actually a fruit based diet that’s the healthiest diet and you will love the longest it’s not grains it’s not veggies and definitely not meat go try eating that raw you’ll get infested from parasites only fruit tastes good raw no sugar or salt added it’s perfect human food it’s why we see color to see how ripe the fruit is we are fruitarians you want to cure and reverse all disease don’t go carnivore go fruitarian trust me try 1 week of each your gonna feel like a million bucks the whole pritein fat and animal stuff is a myth go try it you won’t regret it it’s the fountain of youth peace

I love the genius people who break out of group-think, like this doctor.
Many things he is saying may be true but all far off base if he is saying all these plants are not meant for human consumption...Im in superior health & eat 80% plus raw including raw whey protein, eggs, mostly fish (sardines-salmon), sometimes liver & grass fed meat.. lots of beets, apples, carrots, celery, garlic, spinach, arugula. ginger, sprouted beans, bananas, sprouted pumpkin & sunflower seeds, avocados, sweet potatoes, lemons blueberries, kiwi, cacao, broccoli & broccoli sprouts.. all super foods
To me, this is very conventional training from a medical doctor and I don’t think he’s had any actual training in nutrition which is pretty standard for the medical profession. Humans have grinder teeth for consuming grains and no carnivorous teeth to speak of. Carnivorous animals have pronounced canines with zero molars.
Agreed!
@@kbkatherineb3944 The nutrition doctors study is ridiculous. They study more about symptoms, medicines and medicines for the side-effects the first medicine gave you. I have a cousin that had a profound fatty liver (VERY fatty) The doctor kept giving him shit that never worked. he stumbled upon a supplement called choline & Inositol (after doing his own research) took it 3 times a day. After a month, he went back for another scan is his liver was clean as a whistle. The doctor was shocked and asked him what he did differently. He told him about the supplement and the doctor said that he had never heard of it. Nutritionists know far more than doctors do, and they still mess up and don't know it all.
Speaking of the teeth. we technically have fangs but they're not as big as other carnivore animals. Have you seen a Gorilla's fangs (they eat veggies and plants) What are the fangs for??!!! It's not like they're hunting dear. This has nothing to do with anything. Do you know what an appendix serve in a gorillas body? (it's 4 feet long by the way). It's for digesting fiber and help extract nutrients from plants. ours DOESN'T work!! hmmmm
Spinach has lots of iron, our body will be able to utilize about 1% or that iron, but a gorilla will utilize all of it because they have a working appendix.
we are carnivores. Fiber hurts you, causes colon problems, stuffs your intestines with unnecessary shit. when you eat fiber, all you're doing is making your poops bigger, stressing your colin, experiencing gas and bloating and hindering your vitamin absorption.
They used to say that Crohn's disease was incurable, costing people thousands of dollars in medication throughout their miserable lives. But now, people who go carnivore will HEAL completely in 3 months. let that sink in.. :) We have been fed lies for too long. Way too long.

I literally saved my own life eating whole plants. Recovered from BED, Anorexia, Dysthyma, Panic Disorder, dissolved both uterine and breast fibroids that I was told I'd need surgery for.
Why would we be required to eat a certain diet, then not given any natural tools to acquire said food? It doesn't make any sense.
Excuse but wtf? Do you even know how those plants got to our diet? They don't grow like this on their own. Do you know what we did? We used the greatest tool we have - our brains in order to hybridize them over literal millenias. Most of leafy vegetables come from one single plant.
We have excelent tools to get animal food. People can literally hunt animal until it drops exhausted to the ground. We are sweating so our bodies have very effective cooling system. On long distance we are able to outrun every single animal. Second tool is out brain, which allowed us to make anything from first sharp tools to supercomputers.
We started out as scavengers, no tools necessary. When we eat only meat, our stomach acid can still get strong enough to digest carrion. Why would we have that ability if we couldn’t use it. Now here is the next thing, our stomach acid can not get nearly as acidic on a plant based diet.

Native Americans in the US Pacific Northwest ate wild camas root as a mainstay in their diet in addition to wild game, fish, shell fish, nuts, and berries. The roots were starchy like potatoes. They ate them freshly cooked as well as dried in quantity as an important source of stored food over the winter. Camas root was a large part of their diet. So, there was more to the native diet then was noted.
Point being plant sourced food was limited, hunting always for the most dense source of energy. Like comparing green energy to oil, foolish to consider the former this day and age.
@@rickkristofek5296 No, hunting was not 'the biggest source of food'. You assume. Plant sourced food was not "limited". The three sisters, corn, beans, and squash was a massive source of food. Native people introduced most of the plants that humans still eat today.
They hunted buffalo! Followed their migratory paths thrived on buffalo anything else they survived on !
Im asian and our ancestors years ago ate both meat and plants with a staple of rice.. they did not have chronic diseases until processed food were introduced.
Very good presentation. I understand the role of fruits and veggies as a backup plan. We have been pure carnivore for about four months, tons of benefits zero detriments. We moved a few weeks ago and had a hard time figuring out the local meat sources (new country, new language, not just a new neighbourhood) so we ate at restaurants for a week… purely out of necessity and having to eat other stuff. Now we’ve got the local butcher dialled in and got the grill going and are getting back on track. Just that week of falling off the wagon and we can see the beginnings of all the negative effects that we have put up with for most of our lives.
Read Pollan's book about 10 years ago. I loved it. I happened to be vegetarian at that time. Now I am on a low carb diet, mostly eat meat.
Maybe Brussel sprouts were bitter, and most plants we eat now have been modified, but that doesn’t mean they were bad before, and definitely doesn’t mean they didn’t exist(??). I am from Australia, and the native plants here have not been modified to eat. I can list a number of plants that have not been modified but taste great, and are very good for you in under a minute, here we go.
I’ve eaten plenty of: silky pears, kangaroo apples, flax lily berries, native red currants, pig face fruits (more delicious than modified fruit) quandongs, brambles (the original strawberry), blackberry nightshade, Warragul greens, chickweed, dandelion leaves, non modified plums, geebungs, native lime, mulberries, blackberries, wattle seeds, the list goes on and on.
Also meat is a lot more dangerous to eat, and could possibly kill you if eaten uncooked. I don’t know of any species of carnivore that has to blast the bacteria out of it with fire in order to be able to eat it. Just something to consider.
We are not vegetarians, but love our veggies and the fact that we can grow food on our tiny urban lot is a security factor that must be taken into account. Love meat, but can’t grow it and can’t afford much. Wish we had an acre or two for some small ruminants but plants will fill our bellies. We’d better figure out fermenting to offset the toxins. Fortunately, as long as we avoid the high-carb containing plants, we don’t have any significant issues. Dr. Berry’s “carbohydrate knob” seems to be safe turned up a little higher for us. $$$ prevent us going full carnivore. We certainly have benefited from removing factory food and sugar, as well as eating from our organic homegrown stuff. Down pounds and up well being, for sure. We’ll check out that book. Sounds interesting
agreed
Do you have chickens? Eating eggs is like eating meat. Chickens are lovely pets also. I only have six, and get 4-5 eggs daily.
Fermenting is wonderful, I made sauerkraut this year. I put a tiny amount on my plate when we're eating German sausage or hotdogs. Planning kimchi next!
Such an interesting comment! My husband and I have just started carnivore. We’re still planning our garden, but are wondering what we’ll eat from it!
Do what you can and try to avoid seed oil. Good luck!

Weird, I've been a vegetarian for 36 years (albeit not vegan). I'm 50 and feel amazing. I eat tons of nuts, beans, veggies and occasionally whole grain home made breads. It can be done, or at least it is working well for me (along with 18:6). People think I am in my 30s. I do strength resistance training and dance as much as possible. Maybe i am an outlier, but also an example that healthy (and happy) vegetarians can exist.
Vegetarians yes. Vegans no.
Eggs are an amazing super food 😊
No one says Vegetarians or Vegans can or can't exist, no one cares. He just answers to an argument by so many vegans: "humans are herbivores"
We are not, when we talk about herbivores we are not referring to juicy apples, we're talking about cellulose which can't be digested by humans.

My parents and grand grand grand parents were always eating meat at almost every meal. Meat was always the main dish, veggies and fruits and the rest always came last and a very small portion in their plates and they all lived 90+ years. Vegans cannot make it in long term because veggies and fruits have far too much fructose that is not well digested by the liver., Simple has that.
Wonderful! I love your passion. I was told by a recently converted vegan that because of our teeth, we were not meant to eat meat. Still, I have never had a problem eating meat and humans have always had fire to cook with. In addition, we hunt in groups and have hands that can hold our prey. We don't need 5 inch fangs to hold our food. On and on. I am currently 63 and I have been low carb for a little over a year. Even the vegan has asked me if I would be his trainer. I have not been this ripped since high school and I am more muscular. If you eat only plants, you become a vegetable. If you eat meat you become a beautiful, muscular animal.
I am 57. I always avoided sugar, my entire adult life, I just knew we shouldn't eat so much of it. Avoiding sugar kept me reasonably thin my whole life, but never in the top level of fitness I thought I could be. I did not avoid carbs until 10 months ago, I tried low carb because I have always experimented with my health and fitness. I cannot overstate the impact of low carb! Most who try to go low carb will gravitate to eggs, meat, fish and dairy because of convenience. I still eat above ground veggies, but no fruits or tubers. I do not know if it is the low carb or the increase in animal food sources, but I feel better now than 10 years ago. I am not speaking anecdotally. I can grab the basketball rim again, I lost that ability years ago, I thought forever. I can easily bench my weight and then some, I lost that ability a decade ago, I had accepted that I was getting weaker with age. Additionally, my low level joint pain is gone, (left knee mostly) I had accepted as part of aging is totally gone.

Ok but our animals are also hybridized and gmo. We never before eat cows or pigs on this much big scale. To hunt mammoth we needed few days and it was not always succesful so small birds similar to chicken was in menu. We have never eaten so much of only meat like todays carnivores. What about herbivores, they live on eating plants and are fine. I think people are omnivores and that mean we can be good both on carnivore and vegan.
No - omnivore means eat both meat AND plants

The reason why vegan athletes are such a minority is simply because the diet is subpar, so it serves no purpose other than virtue signalling. It is also why we are seeing the rise of cheaganism such as Nate Diaz who claims to be vegan while munching on animal products.
Plants have their benefits. Like Sten Ekberg says, it's about having the right balance. There was a dentist or doctor that went around the world to study people and their diet. What he noticed is that people had a balance diet of meat and vegetables. They didn't have a lot of processed foods like we do in America
Americans, and others eat too many GRAINS
@@jarielrotta135 exactly! I used to believe that veganism was the proper diet for all. It wasn't until I came across Sten Ekberg videos, then I learned that it's about balance
No, that's not a fair summary of what he noticed. Yes, it's true that the lack of processed foods is very important; but that's not all. What he also noticed is that ALL healthy populations ate SOME animal products, and the animal products they cherished the most were extremely nutrient-dense. Grass-fed meat and dairy, fish roe and organ meats - largely things that have all but disappeared from the modern Western diet - were some of the most highly prized foods all over the world amongst primitive peoples. Many cultures reserved the best bits of those animal products for pregnant women, because they knew it would help ensure the health of the baby. Close observation suggested to him that those foods contained thus-far-undiscovered fat-soluble vitamins that were lacking in the modern diet. (Which he turned out to be correct about, and they are vitamins that are only present to any real absorbable degree in animal foods.)
Glossing over that is pretending the presence or absence of animal products in a diet is irrelevant, and what matters is whether or not they are processed foods. That's not what his research found. The food DOES matter.
The book is "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration," written by Weston A. Price ("the Darwin of nutrition" I've heard him called, and I think it's apt). I've been told the book was hard to get for a while due to being out of print, but it's on Amazon now. I think everyone should own a copy.

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.

As someone of mixed heritage...i look deeply toward ancestral eating. Native American..European...Asian...African..South American....Human. Across the board...my ancestors were animal based and plant were for survival. My grandmother from South Carolina always ate fruits and vegetables in season. Seasonality has been so skewed.
Native Americans ate animals and plants including corn and tubers. Europeans ate legumes and grains. No tribe or civilisation apart from the Inuit ate plants only as a backup food they were omnivores with most eating more plant foods than animals.
This carnivore thing is a cult.
Saw the difference between a vegan woman and one who ate meat and drank raw milk on RUclips and the difference is absolutely astounding and definitely definite proof of the latter being much healthier.

I was listening, not watching, so missed this. Glad I saw your comment! And thank you for the time stamp.
I have been trying meat only diet (organ meats) for the last few weeks and I feel mentally and physically so fit. I feel like reverse aging. All pains and headaches gone !!!
Be VERY carful eating only organ meats. Considering they are less than 5% of the animal, they should not be more than 5% of your diet. Many people crave organ meats when they start carnivore as they are nutrient dense, but that craving declines over time as your body replenishes lost nutrients. I'm a 4 year carnivore and now only eat organ meats occasionally because I enjoy them, not because I crave them.
The BROAD study is a study of the Whole Food plant based diet: A randomized controlled trial (The Gold Standard of Studies) The WFPB group had a self-reported increased quality of life; they decreased their medication, blood glucose and cholesterol. The plant-based group had left the 3-month study 19 pounds lighter, but at 6 months were down about 27 lbs. No mandated exercise or calorie counting was implemented.
Care to show a healthy plants only diet study?
We both know you won't.
Why do you use animal products needlessly (that means possible and practicable to avoid) while only pretending to be against it?

@@georgewilson7808 Glad you agree with me that isn't a plants only diet.
The broad study confirms they use synthetic supplements on all participants.
As usual, you're making things up.
You evaded both questions as usual.
Thanks for the easy win and your concession.

Hi Dr. Cywes. As a ketocarnivore and student here. I can’t believe i just discovered you! New subscriber ❤
Problem nowadays is - Everyone, just everyone is pushing their own agenda and ideology. Reality and truth always lies in between.
I am an Indian and have seen so many people who were pure vegetarians thorughout their whole life, lived extremely healthy life and even lived till 100, 105 years with out even visiting dotors for years.
Problem is factory made food, processed food, heavy usage of added sugars and artificial colors and sweeteners, processed oil, fried foods etc.
People who tried vegetetain diet and fell ill is simply because their body could not adjust to the changed diet as they have been meat eaters for years, same applies to me, i tried eating meat 3-4 times and it made me extremely sick. I am a pure vegeterian by birth, all my blood markers are extremely fine. There is no one meal that can fit everyone, eating habits and your meal types are your personal choices which you have acquired for years and centuries. Just eat a well balanced natural diet (either veg, carnivore or mixture of both) which suites your body, be physically active, practice yoga and meditation, sleep well and u will be fine till your last breath (ofcourse exceptions are always there).
You are absolutely correct and it's those individuals eating the traditional diet of their culture who are the healthiest. Sadly culture is something many western societies (including my own) lack.
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%.

@@SteversChed Are you still trying to tell people that cows eat mice and chickens?
@@georgewilson7808 Check out the video "cow eats chicken" then come back to apologize.
You evaded both questions...typical.
Thanks for the easy win and your concession.
@@SteversChed At least you learned the vegan diet and the strict vegetarian diet are the same thing.
@@georgewilson7808 You evaded both questions again. I am not surprised.
Thanks for the easy win and your concession.
Thanks for this video. 10 years or so ago, I thought fat made you fat and I wouldn't eat it, I made myself sick without knowing it. Jesus opened my eyes to what I was eating, when I started reading labels and figuring out they were putting chemicals in our food, this put me on a road to research what foods should I be eating? I started changing my diet little by little and adding lots of healthy fat, it was amazing how great I started to feel and how I now feel satisfied when I eat because "fat" is very satisfying. And I am still thin, yeah! I am a mom of a 26 year old and when she walks 5 miles at a fast pace, I can keep up with her. Yeah!
"Jesus" opened your eyes? What are you talking about??
@@Jer0867 Hi, I meant because I accepted Jesus into my life he guides me.
Ask for Jesus to give you lottery numbers and you're set for life.
@@Jer0867 @bluzedogg You need to be more respectful of other people's beliefs. If you don't believe what someone else does, that's your right. But don't be rude.

Many of us are suffering from too MANY plants over a lifetime, that have punished our bodies and guts with things like oxalates! Great video!
Are you eating just 1 plant too be suffering from oxylates? Are you steaming your 1 plant type to help break down the natural defences?
Do you eat potatoe chips and bread, is that the plant material you’re guilty about? Yep, too many carbs will have a negative impact
Agree totally. My Italian grandfather had an incredible garden in his tiny city plot . A fig tree that he wrapped in linoleum in the fall and. Bent it down and buried it because they don’t survive cold winters . But what I really loved was his grafting skills he had a fruit tree that he grafted branches onto from other types of fruit trees so one trunk many fruits ! He to grew orchids and loved to modify them too . He had no formal training in this I guess it’s just natural and Italian’s lol
Thanks doc! As a biology teacher I've had similar ideas but our culture restricts the window of conversation. Supporting your thesis is the fact that megafauna disappeared whenever we appeared. Again and again. It is also undeniable that our gut is also dedicated to the digestion of meat and fat. When I eat grains of any kind I have a reaction. Cut the bread and sugar out and now going keto but I'm taking it on slowly.
Read this paper. Humans Were Apex Predators for Two million years.
I eat carbs and get no reaction either I’m also vegan and get 150g of protein a day lift heavy weights 5x a week and my trap bar deadlift is 320 pounds
@@jeovanniperez3949 You might start following the work of Dr Sean O’Mara who has a grant from the National Science Foundation to study fat and metabolism. After 6,000 MRI’s his conclusion is that the higher the percentage of carbs the greater percentage of visceral fat (the really bad stuff). The worst case of visceral fat was from a vegan in India. The least visceral fat was from an Olympic sprinter. Apparently sprinting significantly reduces visceral fat. Long distance running increases it. That is his conclusion from 6,000 MRI’s and MRI’s are the gold standard for fat detection.
@@jeovanniperez3949 Your recovery time from workouts is impacted. There is not such thing as not getting a reaction from eating carbs, unfortunately, as all carbs cause inflammation. If you go ketovore or carnivore, you'll see a difference. I did 20 years in the military and was ketovore most of the time to achieve the physical requirements. I can tell you that there will be a difference, if you try it.
@@Isekai_Fan my recovery time isn’t definitely not impacted at all in fact my recovery is a lot quicker than it was before
The thing is when I mentioned to my wife I'd go Carnivore (lifestyle) she was first shocked but then we discussed the matter, and she said ”check which foods we eat for 100's of thousands of years”. So I went and did some research, and not much to be honest. So I'm fully gone away from veggies and fruits and the lot. Thanks for this video, which was very educational. 🎉
Your way of explaining things is wonderful!
Really a fascinating review of our plant history. So important for everyone to realize the truth about plants versus animal sources of food as it relates to our evolutionary history and our optimal diet today. Growing up in my early years on a sheep ranch we ate a lot of meat. My dad was mostly carnivore in the 1960s.
In spite of a good early example, had a misguided stint as a vegetarian for 6 years in my teens to age 21. Got so anemic they threatened blood transfusions. At 61 after some health challenges happy to have settled back on meat. Especially red meat. Happy to have learned what is so easily hidden from us by all the colorful fruits and veggies and manufactured fake food. Humans are highly creative as a species. It's not surprising we fooled ourselves into believing some of that stuff we made is what we're really supposed to eat.
Happy to finally be disabused of the notion. Yay, proper human diet. We are actually obligate carnivores and become unhealthy over time, from too many carbohydrates. Both from plants with phytotoxins and from manufactured simple carbohydrate treats that have no place in our diets. Very interesting video! New subscriber.
Strange that the body would choose to use as its primary fuel source a macronutrient that comes exclusively from plants…
Plants can't run from plant eating predators, so they are full of toxins. Thank you so much for your videos ❤️🙏🏼❤️
Unless you talk about fruit. The plant wants you to eat the fruit with the non digestible seeds.
You've way over simplified that one.
Should apply to other primates and other mammals?
COOK THEM!!! Also the acute stress from these so called 'toxins' is good for you!
@@wocket42 "Unless you talk about fruit. The plant wants you to eat the fruit with the non digestible seeds."
Not necessarily so.
I’m 60 , not eaten meat in 40 years and I’m in better shape than meat eaters 30 years younger . 6’2 and 190 , most people on here will have tummy fat ,not me !
Hi Dr.. .thanks for the video. We have been Keto for 8 yrs and Carnivore for 7 years. Doing great on thus diet. As a biologist I can quickly confirm that most vegetables did not exist more than a few hundred years ago. Also my ancestors, coming from Northern and Central Europe did not, until VERY recently have out of season fruits and vegetables. This was only since modern industrial shipping modes.
The pain in my body goes away when I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. The opposite happens when I have a high fat, high protein diet.
I call bs
@@wgsuperstar7730 I second that call of BS.
I don't call BS
To each their own. If it works for you, I am glad you found success with your diet.❤
me too
I was 17 years vegan vegetarian , horrible lfe. Constant hungry and sick under the church blessing . Ibs and allergies. Never again
❤ I love you dr. CYWES for this clear and full explanation about veg and fruits... I go on low carb diet last year and it's hard to fight with this carb addiction but I don't GIVE UP...
80 days without SUGAR even potatoes rice pasta bread and I FEEL GREAT
THANK YOU SO MUCH DOC CYWES ❤ I send this to my friends 😊
Great to hear you’re getting fit
I know a vegetarian who cut sugar and monitored carbs along with intermittent fasting, and she lost a lot of weight without becoming carnivore.
Her nutritionist also explained to her about her hormones, which impacts both men and women, particularly in the mid 40’s
My brother is vegan since 10 years. He is 58 but he looks 40 and he is a great athlete.
He must be consuming a lot of additives from a chemist. He can't get it all from natural food.
@@toni4729 no, he takes only vitamin B12 , and vitamin D during the winter.
@@antoniotorcoli5740 I call BS on that story, veganism wasn't much of a thing more before the 90's and we lacked both the pharma and the knowledge back then to make it plausible without being a cheagan. Anyone claiming to be vegan for more than 30 years is automatically just a liar, likewise with the random anecdotes of people looking 20 years younger magically from just plants.
@@Teo_live the only BS is you sorry truth hurts I bet I lift more then you and I’m vegan ☠️
Your brother is GMO
Our teeth say we are omnivores with a predisposition for plant matter. That doesn't mean we only eat plants, we are scavengers and eat anything from seeds, nuts, fruits, grass, insects and meat. What we need to drop is the refined carbs (sugar and flour) that is in everything including icecream, chocolate, fish food and dog & cat food. Honey eaters, hummingbirds and lorikeets (birds) can tolerate lots of sugar because they evolved to do so. Finches and parrots evolved to eat grains, while raptors evolved to eat meat. People evolved to eat anything and need a varied diet with some plant and meat but little in the way of sugar and grains.
