Please look into Keto diet as a treatment for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / Myalgic Encefalomyelitis .
Some doctors are treating CFS/ME that way, and it would be really interesting to know if there's at least anectodal evidence that it helps.
Keto... Next
I appreciate hearing your survey of the sum total of existing evidence regarding the ketogenic diet. I just want to arrive at the truth, no matter what it is. The work of Warburg, Seyfried, and now many others, in the application of the ketogenic diet for cancer is very exciting and potentially ground-breaking and life-saving, if true. What is the truth? Do ketones also fuel some forms of cancer?
Hitler breathes oxygen. So avoid oxygen.
Cancer eats glucose. So avoid glucose. So does healthy cells do to need glucose.
It was only the 1900s that we eat more sugar that every food product contains.
Veggies aren't plain glucose.
Ketones can't feed Hitler and Cancer though.
At least not all Cancer.
What about the vegan keto diet?
My brother was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer last January and within six months of being in ketosis the prostate cancer came up blank on an MRI.
I'm glad your brother is better. He is what is called anecdotal evidence, though.
@@tamcon72 hearsay is not taking a 5 mm piece of cancer and shrinking it to nothing in your prostate. Also taking a 20 mm piece of cancer in your hip bone and it reducing Down to 11 mm in 6 months. This is not antidotal these are facts. In fact the bone cancer has been shrinking every single MRI he's taken and soon he will be cancer-free. Checking your ketones two or three times a week and checking your glucose levels is very important while fighting cancer.
Scott Gabelman -- anecdotal doesn't mean non-factual. It just means that it's a single case without control for other confounding factors. People do go into remission spontaneously. Maybe it was the ketogenic diet, maybe it was coincidence. Studies typically require at least 50 people, and if the effects are subtle, sometimes hundreds or even thousands. One, ten, 20 reports like yours are interesting, and perhaps an indication that a controlled study is warranted. But they don't qualify as scientific evidence.
@@broddr honestly, I think it's only a matter of time before it's widely accepted that clean keto along with intermittent fasting is very helpful in fighting cancer (among other things)
Brian Parsons -- it may turn out that a ketogenic diet can help fight some cancers. But both my parents died of cancer, and in the process I met many other cancer patients. I have also had a dog die of liver cancer. In almost all cases in late stage cancer people (and dogs) lose their appetite and become ketogenic. You can smell the ketones on their breath. But it does nothing to slow down the cancer. Perhaps it's too late by that point, but if ketosis had any impact, I would expect that impact to be fairly consistent, regardless of what stage the cancer was at.
There is grey area on this subject. I am Vegan/Vegetarian and so I understand how you may be biased towards not supporting ketosis. Progressive cancer is not a normal life sustaining function. It uses normal life sustaining functions to spread and proliferate, that is why it is a tough disease.
We can look at ketosis as a temporary/intermittent state to be in to reduce cancer. The majority of cancers use glucose, This is the first step to address. Next we would have to look at ketone usage and glutamine metabolism, but these are the more rare cancers. Obviously we haven't figured out how to combat it all or else we would have the cure for cancer.
Diet can and is used as an adjunct. The targetting and elimination of the cancer should be part of the therapy. Apoptosis can go only so far and as we age it's ability appears to wane. Fasting has been shown to increase autophagy and apoptosis.
What it boils down to is that maybe we will have to cut all normal food consumption and proceed with synthetic supply of energy that is counter to what the current cancer needs. Of course it would be difficult in cases of cancers that use multiple types of fuel but maybe manual removal of those is the way to go.
Overall, there is room for ketosis within Veganism. In the far future perhaps all we will need is synthetic forms of energy and no longer consume potentially contaminated fuel sources.
Thanks for this comment. Very levelheaded and informative. 👍🏾
I did keto and the chronic inflammation I had went away. I also dropped my body fat % to 12%. I now do keto 3 months a year. I dont claim to be 100% sure that it's all due to the keto diet. Maybe being more aware in what I eat and counting macros. I do a very clean keto, with no junk food (bacon etc) and exercise 5 days a week. After my body adjusted to keto, I actually feel a tonne better in ketosis than when I'm not. Don't knock it before you try it! If doctors were always right, we'd not be still dying from viruses, heart disease and cancer! Keto also helped my friend who was pre-diabetic as carbs spikes his blood sugar levels.
Keto is good if you already have underlying problems.
No such thing as clean keto.
We aren't flesh eaters
Remember, kids: If the headline asks a question, the answer is always no!
"Why go Keto when you can go Chemo?!" ~ Dr. Greger, 2019 😂😂😂😂

Hmm. Always liked tour work but there is a lot of good research that keto helps cancer. Very good doctors who use this with amazing results on their patients.
Exactly. I truly don't understand why people keep pushing the standard American diet. It's absolutely ass-backward. The ONLY they get right is to not eat processed foods and sugar. But then tell people that 50% of their daily caloric intake should come from carbs, even thought they KNOW that carbs cause a huge spike in glucose every time it's eaten. And then we wonder why Americans are so fat and sick.
When people don't understand something, they tend to ridicule it. That's what this video is doing. Sad really
There's also tons of work that fruit, herbs, saunas, & fasting will cure cancer. Like, almost always.
@@saszablaze1 please tell me more, I need to help someone. Thank you in advance.
Cancer can not feed on ketones in the absence of Glucose or Glutimine has been tested. People say this because Glucose and Glutamine are not absent
Exactly
Started a semi theraputic level ketogenic diet with weekly 48 hour fasts and daily gym sessions 4 years ago alongside meds for an unsuccessful prostatectomy op. Was supposed to restart treatment after 18 months. Now 4 years and no treatment required as growth has slowed. Not a cure as i am expected to start meds again in 3 months..... Been saying that and cancelling my appointments for 4 years now, and have passed the point of expected survival. Don't know what it is, low insulin, controlled blood sugar, enhanced immune system or what, but i am a damn site healthier and fitter at 76 than the extended family members in their 50's who suffer from arthritis, type 2 diabetes, lupus etc. A Ketogenic diet for me works, and no weight problems either.
4:20 Hold on, time out, doesn't the metabolic theory of cancer treatment say that malfunctioning cancerous mitiochondria cannot use ketones as fuel but our healthy cells can? Therefore cutting off the two fuel sources to those cancerous mitochondira helps to retard their growth?
It's debatable whether any cancer can in fact use ketones as a source of fuel; but if they can, there is no question and no debate that cancer cells don't crave ketones like they do glucose.
Likewise the video is disingenuous in insinuating that it's no big deal that cancer cells need to metabolize glucose because all cells need to metabolize glucose.
Whoever scripted this obviously knows nothing about The Warburg Effect (bottom line is that cancer cells have an insane craving for glucose that's wildly disproportionate to what normal cells require).
I am a lay person with an interest in this topic . Statement made here is 'all cells feed on glucose HOWEVER cancer cells are far more hungry for glucose due to over expression of HIF1 factor . Secondly switching to ketones through fasting is in line with our origins as food gatherers who lived through feast and famine . Glucose was more regulated and stable in hunter gatherers . Thirdly there have been groups of folks where no cancer is known and the diet is really an ancient food gatherer diet as well as physical activity They live to well into the 90's . Also fasting is like computer reboot to safe mode . The immune system is activated .. dodgy cells are killed off .. autophagy whereas Chemo is like using a shotgun to shoot flies and the immune system is switched off which is exactly the wrong thing to do . The only thing that allows us to live is our immune system . Its also the reason that we die .. its not cancer which kills us which is always in us somewhere anyway ( I'm convinced of that ) ... its the immune system slowly switching off and unable to make daily repairs and kill suspect cancer cells. The 'guards' must be fit and active not asleep in the fort . Isn't that why cancer is called the 'disease of the elderly ' because the 'guards are not fit and often asleep in old age ? So to live a long life do the things which boost the immune system .. exercise to boost circulation , fasting , control glucose levels, boost vitamin D with food like salmon leafy greens etc etc .. thats my view .
Been low carb for a year now.
Keto for about a month at the start. Lost 15 kg, have loads more energy and now all my markers for metabolic health are good.
LDL increased but so did HDl and and triglycerides reduced. A1C great.
I hope I never eat processed food, sugar or straight carbs again.
What about the ketones that come from fasting induced ketosis, do those cancel out the cancer fighting effects of fasting & autophagy?
Thomas Seyfried says cancer only feeds on glucose and glutamine, not ketones. So he says you need to both go into deep ketosis and press-pulse glutamine to starve cancer.
Thank you, Dr. Gregger, for this information!
When I first started researching plant based nutrition, I wanted to know if it would work for my daughter with epilepsy, since we had already tried and failed the modified Atkins diet (with daily ketone urine testing).
Almost two years later, I am happy to say a whole-foods, plant based diet has been a blessing for all in our family, especially for me, aging and aching everywhere, now healthy and happy!! My daughter still has a few seizures a month, but is doing better and loves the food.
A few seizures a month is far from normal... Put her on carnivore for a month and she'll be healed completely. At least try if you care for her in instead of forcing your ideology on her
fasting 2-4 days before chemo has been reported to increase effects of chemo. some studies suggest keto might also help chemo work better too.
Of course it does. When youre fasting over 18 hours your body is using ketones and is in autophagy.
A serie on keto would be at least as needed as the arsenic one...
This is the series on keto diet. There will be 7 videos total. This one was the first. They'll get progressively better.
@@GregVidua you made me read the description and it sounds good 😉
turns out rice only has arsenic content when grown in watered rice fields. they do this to maximise profit. if rice is grown in dry fields, and watered just like regular veggies (watered only when needed and not too much), rice tends to have ZERO arsenic.

brilliant love ye buddy im informed thanks to you much appreciated and you really have had a profound positive effect on my health i was 4 stone overweight and very unhealthy diet when i first started watching/listening to you ive now lost the 4 stone and along with it my ashma keep up the good work and THANKS FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!
Great Videos from you so much effort thanks for the free content!
Awesome awesome awesome once again. Make a great point. I’m looking forward for one video to the next, but this one topped
It all.
...finally! ...for someone diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer....sleepless nights of whether to do vegan or keto - for someone who doesnt like much meat at all, and not crazy about 80% fat ...confused, not knowing what to do ...thank you, i believe this is my confirmation from constant prayer in seeking Jesus on what to do(after trying keto)...thanks again!...i would eat keto, and almost have a conviction that this doesnt feel right - so now some facts...thanks agan
I hope you get better and beat this thing whichever you decide. God bless.
Watch Forks Over Knives, get pumped up, and adopt the kind of diet they talk about in that. Whole food plant based. All the best to you!
After my experience with certain people who prayed for me I think you have a point on that one.
Ketones also appear to feed cancer cells. Plant based fats such as the ones in avocados don't though
Sure, but that's not all it turns to. According to one of the earlier videos on this channel avocados has naturally occurring substances that kills cancer cells also. As Dr. Greger would say look at the whole food as it is a package deal. More to food than just calories and macros. Your sources matter too.
As a plant-based eater I've never been particularly "triggered" by people with different beliefs about the health of my (or their) diet. In fact, because their views are based on shakier logic, I've always suspected the keto people would be more defensive, not less. So I guess it's time to...um...put that to the test?
@@twn5858 There are different levels of "logic" and I could have been more clear, but Nutritionfacts viewers will know that I meant scientific research, not "stories". No shade - we all like things that make intuitive sense - but a story is just a hypothesis. I don't think keto as a long-term diet is going to prove out to be healthy. Short-term for weight loss maybe, but it's not looking good as a way of life.
Coffee and animal saturation and naturally occurring trans FAT for the win! wash down with yummy bone broth very palatable
@@twn5858 That's awesome. I know it's used for seizures too. I think the video acknowledged that there are some known medical benefits to a keto diet, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily "healthy" or optimum. As this seems to be the first in a series, I'm guessing future videos will expand on that.

My mother has metastatic breast cancer and her oncology doctor suggested a keto diet. As a student studying nutrition, this has been frustrating. I questioned the exact same thing pretty much when she brought it up, "but...all cells feed on sugar." Thank you for doing this research and posting!
CeliaXx99 my dad’s wife had aggressive breast cancer and had both breasts removed and went through chemotherapy. Her doctors told her that she needed to be on a very low fat diet like what Dr. Greger cited and she has carefully stuck with that. My mom on the other hand continues to do a Keto diet after breast cancer because she wasn’t given any nutritional advice and she’s just following a popular diet. The medical community really needs to be in the same page about this.
Did you ask for citations to research? You are within your rights to ask for verification. I can't imagine my mother's oncologist years ago recommending that. This was before the latest keto/carnivore insanity, mind you.
tamcon72 the low fat diet recommended for my dad’s wife is the same one cited by Dr. Greger in this video from the American Cancer Society and Oncology. My mom didn’t have any diet recommended to her; she is following the Keto diet of her own accord because she thinks it will help her lose weight. She lost weight but then gained it back, lost weight then gained it back...
@@kathivy That's such a shame. I can't imagine how hard this is. Please keep trying to get through to you mom.
ruclips.net/video/uXrdP06tfdw/видео.html
My position is that we don’t quite know the long term effects of keto, so we should avoid the diet, especially long term. It could have negative effects on brain health. If you want to lose weight, eat nutrient dense, fibrous foods and excercise
"Why go keto when you can just go chemo" 😂
Can you talk about non alcoholic beer? I have been drinking NA beer for health and weight control reasons and wondering if I am still harming my body. Thanks!
im not an expert but its still carbs and calories
Alcohol is the only bad thing in beer. A-free beer is a good fermented drink with some benefits. Nothing special. Better than coke for sure.
If Dr. Greger were to ever walk into KetoCon (what an appropriate name), the Keto quacks would scatter like roaches with the lights turned on.
Maybe the keto guys would be ROFL 😂.
You're nuts! Ketocon speakers have walked the walk. Doctors who treat their patients with keto, and researchers who do real unbiased science. Dr. Greger would be humiliated.
@@dario2rnr Send me the link of your keto people "debunking" this video. I'll watch it unbiased and see who is right. I'm a vegan for ethical reasons but would like to see it anyway
Great informativ video as always!
I have a very serious concern regarding a family member and wanted to ask for advice:
Μy sister, who went plant-based vegan with me nearly 6 years ago, recently (a few months ago) decided that, because of her acne and digestive issues, going full on animal-based keto with no fruits and very limited vegetables was the best decision for her.
Since then, her cravings and issues went away, her acne cleared up and she reportedly feels better and lighter than ever.
Me, a curious and skeptical med student, also noticed extrem halitosis, her seemingly lethargic temper and her first ever shingles 3 months ago which accompanied a viral infection, that made her feel sick and stop exercising for several weeks.
Whenever we try to talk about diet, she gets very aggressively defensive and brings up books like “Lies my doctor taught me” and how illnesses associated with western diet come from the vast amount of refined and unrefined carbohydrates consumed and not from grass fed organic meat, coconut oil (her holy grail) and other foods rich in saturated fats.
She also reports studies she read about cholesterol actually being quite the opposite from harmful for the body, but rather necessary and atherosclerosis etc. being the result of inflammation correlated to high-“sugar” (=carbohydrates) consumption.
All she sees in plant foods are harmful anti nutrients and insulin spiking carbs. She has spent a lot of time researching the ketogenic diet, the AIP and all their benefits for the treatment of various diseases.
But the lacking evidence in actual studies really makes me question her sources.
I am deeply worried about her long-term health and wanted to ask if anyone has ever faced a similar situation and how he/she dealt with it? Your fellow plant-based nutrition interested med student from Vienna.
That's tough, but she may need to bottom out before listening to reason. Some people are just too biased to look at evidence or even what's happening to their own body. FWIW, I had acne and poor digestion for most of my life and although going vegan helped, it didn't completely clear the problem, until I went Starch Solution (by Dr McDougall). Within 24 hours my acne cleared up and my digestion is so much better. Maybe she's clinging to keto because she doesn't think there's a better alternative and if she knew there was, she might listen? It makes no sense that keto would be good for digestion -- you're literally starving the good bacteria in your gut by depriving them of fiber. The halitosis is probably from all the bad bacteria proliferating. High fat is really hard on your gall bladder and animal protein is hard on your kidneys. Neither will show symptoms for years.
Since she still believes in inflammation, have her get a HS-CRP test (highly sensitive C-reactive protein test).
She is brainwashed. All you can do is set a fine example and when her health begins to fail hope she will use reason and adopt a better lifestyle.
My mom has been doing Atkins and now Keto for many years trying to lose weight but her weight goes down then just goes back up again. Breast cancer and now a hip replacement for arthritis, and this diet is exactly what she should not be doing. It’s really sad because I love her terribly and I’ve talked with her about this being a fad diet not backed by science but I think that a lot of people believe that popularity = credibility. It’s really too bad that it’s legal for people to promote these snake oil diets.
This is classic cognitive dissonance and happened to all of us. When you invested so much energy, money and time to a particular matter (in this case a diet), it is very difficult and painful to admit that your diet is wrong even if the facts (e.g. the evidence presented here by Dr Greger) are in front of you and you will seek out keto advocates who will reinforce your belief.
My high carb low fat life style since childhood took me into an adulthood of no energy to function life. Healthy, but always tired. At mid 50s my digestive started falling apart. I was diagnosed with non alcoholic fatty liver disease, I had a golf ball size gall stone that bothered me, my heartburn was killing me, no matter what I would eat, even if I drink water. And extreme fatigue. Eventually gallbladder was removed, followed by appendix removal, in 6 months. That was 4 years ago. I started 90% carnivore diet this February, just discovered that I can eat meat with minimal digestive trouble, than anything else. 4.5 months on carnivore, lost 20lb, my digestive back to normal. Unfortunately, I also was diagnosed with colon cancer two months ago. I am sure, the result of my high carb life style, as it takes time to show symptoms. Today I am having my surgery. I am just so happy that I discovered ketosis diet right before it happened. It gives me comfort knowing that there is something I can do on my side, to beat the beast.
I thought that the body was able to break down protein into glucose specifically for the brain, a process called gluconeogenesis that happens in the liver. So the brain would still be getting the glucose it requires
We cannot store unused proteins in the body, so protein that is not used as a building material is broken down into amino acids. Half is stored as fat and the other half is converted to glucose.
I would love to see this guy talking to dr. Berg and many others that are on Keto for more than 3 years.
Maybe a LIVE conversation would be better...
ruclips.net/video/arqWjAqBMNY/видео.html, try Garth Davis vs Bart kay or Bart kay vs vegan doctor on RUclips, or vegan gains debates. Those debates show how plants are our species specific diet.
Marcelo Ribeiro Simões “dr Berg” lmao. He’s a chiropractor you dummy. Everything he says is complete nonsense. He’s selling you something and you like it because he says eggs bacon and grass fed meat are health foods no doubt.
Justin setting I’m 100% vegan and I have to say our species never ate just plants. We must’ve eaten s little fish eggs bugs occasional meat in most populations as well. So for credibility we must admit that. Look at apes- they almost al eat insects and some eat a little meat. Still, these were a tiny part of our dietary heritage and nothing like the eggs and bacon. Real fast chicken for lunch and steak for dinner of the SAD. Thunder gatherer thing is quite overrated- mostly gathering, and if one thinks the males were bringing back the kill for the females and sharing equally, well, that’s patently false. So half our genetic contributors probably ate 1/10 what the other half ate.
I’ve never heard this argument against exaggerated hunter gatherer conclusions but must assume it’s been made many times before.

Vegan has made me feel better walk better talk better and has made my medicine work better I'm not full blown vegan I still have Salmon once in a while but hey no one is perfect Thanks Dr Greger for making my life better and it didn't cost me a dime 😆
Then try a plant-based Keto. It does exist. These people have no idea what they're talking about. It's NOT all about eating tons of animal fats. Can you? Absolutely. Is that what most people on Keto do? Yup. But, you can still stay within the macros of a Ketogenic diet while being plant-based. Just stay away from processed garbage, sugar, and eat all low-carb veggies. If you make a big salad, put plenty of cut up avocado in it and then use plenty of olive oil as a dressing. And yeah, there is NOTHING wrong with having meat if you're feeling up for it. Some argue that you need fatty meats, but I think there needs to be a balance. SOME fatty meats but also some lean meats where you control the fat by adding your own healthy sources such as avocado, coconut, MCT, Macadamia Nut, or EV Olive oil. Certain fish like salmon, trout, sardines, etc., actually have a lot of omega 3s which are very heart healthy and exactly the kinds of fats that you want in your diet. So, if anybody ever tries to tell you that Keto is all about eating tons of protein and fatty meat like beef, bacon, cheese, etc., they are either lying to you or just don't know what they're talking about. You CAN, but the optimal way of doing Keto is NOT that.

I also care about other earthlings like the animals that are force bred into existence only to be tortured and slaughter. And I care about the environment that is grossly destroyed at unbelievable rates by the unsustainable practice of animal agriculture. You mention monocrops, over 80 percent of cropland is used for animal agriculture for housing and feeding. Those are the monocrops. My whole food plant based diet consists of a large variety of beans, greens, grains, fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, spices, herbs, and teas. If you look at the land usage chart by the intergovernmental panel on climate change you'll see how land use is divided. It's astounding how much land is used for animal agriculture. The waste alone is 2 gigatons and humans only consume 1.54 GT's of food. We already mostly eat plant based worldwide. We're running out of viable, rainfed cropland. And now the Amazon is being burnt down for cattle. Yet, if we transition to a plant based diet globally we could easily feed 118 billion more people, over 20 fold more on the same amount of land. And that's not even factoring in more advance plant agricultural practices. So, yes I care about human health, health care cost, the animals, and the world.

Keto, short term. I would prefer that to chemo any day. I just doubt that it would be enough.

If you ask your question directly on his site, nutritionfacts.org, someone on staff will respond to you there : )
Dr. Greger has a series coming up on fasting. Autophagy will almost certainly be covered.
Whats the best cooking oil?
None
I don't know what to think. Keto. Not keto. Saturated fat. No saturated fat. Eliminate grains. Don't eliminate them. There never has been such a divide in the complementary health community as there is today. The problem is that many older individuals ( 50 +) don't have time to play around with their health.
Exactly the information I’ve been in search of. Thank you Dr. Greger!
Here we go lads....
@Steven L. 😂🐷
Thank you for doing this video! I’m a breast and thyroid cancer survivor and my husband and I initially discussed doing a keto diet after I was diagnosed. But, it didn’t make sense to me to eliminate healthy carbs and add a lot of unhealthy fats. And my oncologist told us that the best way to eat is to consume a healthy balanced diet including lots of colorful fruits and vegetables (as well as fish and lean meats). He told us that we shouldn’t do any fancy or trendy diets.
Raul-Beniamin Tătar, yes we’ve been reducing unhealthy fats and processed foods and boosting our intake of veggies, fruit, nuts and seeds, wild caught fish, hormone free chicken, and organic yogurt. We still eat some grains too but have greatly reduced the amount. I think our diet is closest to a “Mediterranean diet” than keto or anything else. We’ve been trying to eat a greater proportion of plant foods with smaller portions of poultry, meat, and fish.
You don't have to add unhealthy fats, look at Dr berg...so much good info, I have breast cancer too. It sucks. Good luck to you
@@Candlewick14 Thank you, and all the best to you as well!

Great video Dr Greger 👏🌱💪❤️
Any diet high in fat and protein Will stress out the heart, arteries, brain and kidney. I would never go on a keto diet, I have one kidney. And the kidney will have a difficult time processing all that protein, leading possibly to its own self destruction,!,!💔 Not to mention clogging of the arteries with fat leading to a very quick heart attack.💔
Keto is not high in protein, only fat. The brain needs fat
Expect the keto hate to come strong! Great video.

Thank you for this video Dr. Greger; I really appreciate having more cut and dry evidence to counter those who claim health benefits other than for refractory epilepsy or short term weight loss

Dr.Greger. what is the status (benefits/mechanism) of fasting when you are on Vegan-food consumption?
^this
Google "intermittent fasting autophagy" -- you'll probably get more information than you want. 🤔
Dr. Greger has a set of videos on his site about this, but they are behind a paywall right now. But if you're patient, he will put them up here eventually. Or you can pay the $20 and watch them now.
Right about now I bet there's a bunch of keto fans wondering what to do about depression.
Lol I was vegan and I never felt more depressed in my life. What's your point?
@@twn5858 It begins rotting long before you even bite into it.
@@twn5858 Your intestinal peristalsis or movement would still allow the passage of a small rock or piece of plastic, and eating a rotten apple would raise your blood sugar as well so I'm not sure why those things you stated are relevant. All foods are certainly not rotting. Especially as is the case with live foods - fruits and veggies - their enymatic activity keeps going long after they're picked from the soil. Contrarily, when an animal's body becomes a corpse or carcass, the decomposition process begins quite quickly. Ask any police officer, coroner or anyone in animal control and they'll back that up. Putrescine and cadaverine are organic endproducts of this amino acid breakdown, and their names are quite telling as to what animal flesh is - putrefying cadaver.
@@twn5858 Wrong! Fruits and vegetables are certainly alive if eaten fresh. Many in my fridge continue to try to grow, such as carrots, onions, garlic, sprouts, etc.
Top food researchers observed white blood cell-like activity from the phytonutrients in vegetables attacking fungus/bacteria. Most fruits/veggies stay fine when left at room temperature for days. Try that with meat.
@@twn5858 Also keep in mind today's meat and most other food is full of toxins. Even our pets get sick eating the garbage the pet food industry is putting out now. Our planet is polluted pole to pole. Best to grow your own as much as possible.
Several relevant facts related to endocrinology and glucose metabolism have been omitted:
1. Carbohydrates are the strongest nutritional stimulator of insulin release.
2. Insulin has powerful anabolic (growth stimulating effects) and triggers other downstream effects of growth factors (e.g. IGF-1 release and m-TOR complex). This is why athletes caught in the BALCO doping scandal were using insulin.
3. Excess glucose (blood sugar) is stored in the liver as signaled by insulin, which released in response to dietary carbohydrates. That is why carbohydrates, especially high glycemic index carbs, causes non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
4. Obese men are 60% more likely to die from prostate cancer compared to men of “normal weight.” Obesity is a direct result of errant carbohydrate metabolism called “insulin insensitivity.”
It seems disingenuous to suggest ketone metabolism by the liver as a reason breast cancer tend to metastasize to the liver, while ignoring the profound liver inflammation and dysfunction caused by excess glucose.

Good points.
Can you do a video on varicoceles?
Can you please talk about the link btwn saturated fat and heart disease? I recently listened to a podcast by a doctor who didn't acknowledge that her studies were just removing sugar out of the diet, instead of comparing high sat fat to low sat fat!
He has a section on his website about saturated fat: nutritionfacts.org/topics/saturated-fat/
This video is powerful and excellent timing, because I was just about to recommend keto to a friend who has advanced prostate cancer and is waiting for new insurance before continuing treatment after his prostate was already removed. Now I will hold off on recommending keto to him...I definitely don't want to make him worse!
I'd like to share a bit of my own keto story, which isn't about cancer but about pre-diabetes symptoms. I've been a Dr. Greger fan for years and was nearly a vegan until late last year. But even then I still ate a lot of carbs, such two to four pieces of "whole grain" bread a day. So after learning about time-restricted eating aka intermittent fasting (IF), almost a year ago I decided to gradually try it to get my body into ketosis without a keto diet, which at the time I didn't even know much about. But as I learned more about keto too, I also decided to see if my own relatively minor health issues might improve after reducing carbs -- but still eating all of my favorite veggies and fruits. So this past winter I gradually eliminated all breads, pastas, and rice except for some small amounts on occasional restaurant outings. Didn't think I could ever give up bread, but now I rarely miss it. 😎
Now I'm at a point where I can "fast" for up to 20 hours without feeling hungry, and one day I aim to do a fast of at least 24 hours. But in general I eat 3 times in a 5-7 hour window: first a post-workout protein drink, second a high-carb meal of plain oats with a half banana, cinnamon and other spices; and later a meal of lots of veggies and mostly vegan fats.
In sum, so far I have seen lots of noticeable benefits from ketosis through this combination of reduced carbs (about 100g a day vs 200-300 before) and IF or timed eating. My skin looks younger, my arms/legs eczema is slowly clearing up, my legs swell a bit less (though I still need compression socks if I stand or sit too long without much movement), I sleep more soundly, I'm more mentally sharp in general, and more productive because I don't have to think about eating or prepare food until after my evening workout. 💪
I don't know if all of these benefits come from ketosis, less carbs, more healthy (and 90% vegan) fats, or what. But my point is that burning ketones has health benefits, and you can get there without eating animal products or giving up healthy veggies and fruits. If anyone else has personal experiences or studies to share related to this, please do! I'm definitely still open to constructive advice. 😃
The answer to the success of your diet is that you've become primarily whole foods plant-based. To reach ketosis, you would need to drop your carbs to 20-50 g a day maximum or you're not actually in ketosis. You've also cut out the refined carbs - which is also a part of the whole foods plant based diet - and replaced it would a whole grain such as oats.
Love how r/keto calls you biased yet this video says otherwise. Keep up the great work!
Thank you
I agree with a Keto diet but, does fasting and autophagy help kill cancer?
Yes, fasting certainly does help kill cancer (or stop it's growth). Keto is the only diet that truly facilitates intermittent fasting for longer periods.
Dr. Greger taking down the keto trend nonsense one video at a time.
Hmm. This is the first time I ever heard that cancer cells thrive off of ketones. Call me skeptical. I watched a program on the power of fasting (which puts you in ketosis by the way). In the program, a woman with breast cancer went through Chemo therapy and did much better with it while fasting as opposed to increasing her caloric intake which is the AMA recommendation. Of course, this is an anecdote and not a study. The fact remains that there is much more money to be made in new medical treatments than dietary changes such as Keto. Doctors do practice medicine after all.
Han Boetes I searched for the title and cannot find it any longer. Sorry. It was a fascinating show that discussed the religious origins of fasting, then visited a Russian clinic that treated patients with various diseases with fasting, then visited a German clinic that did the same thing and finally interviewed someone in California that did an experiment subjecting mice to chemo with half the mice on a normal diet and the other half fasting. Of the mice on a normal diet almost all died as a result of the chemo therapy. The mice which were fasting all survived and acted as if nothing happened. The woman with breast cancer knew of this experiment and wanted to try fasting during her chemo therapy and did much better while fasting.
@@joem5639 That's interesting. From what I recall radiation damages cells that are reproducing and cells need energy to reproduce. It could be that fasting simply reduces the number of cells that will be vulnerable to radiation damage. It certainly seems plausible to me.
odizzido yes, that is another way to look at it. The hypothesis reached at the end of the program is that during fasting the cells go into a protective/defensive state while the cancer cells not being able to thrive in a low glucose environment are more vulnerable to chemo radiation.
Keto for most people means high meat and animal products, do you think there’s no big money power behind that?
Nicecore , I’m not sure about most people but Keto to me means about 70% vegetables and low sugar fruits and 30% fats and proteins. The Atkins diet is what you’re describing.
Cutting down on eating processed sugar can only be a good thing whether you have cancer or not. Here's an interesting speculation - cancer cells tend to close down or expel their mitochondria to prevent the mitochondria from detecting that the cell is cancerous and therefore suiciding the cell, cancer cells ferment their sugars as a method of digestion to fuel themselves instead of the mitochondria doing the job, processed sugar is both fructose and glucose and I think the fructose acts as a catalyst which accelerates the fermentation of the glucose component of the processed sugar molecule and therefore providing a superior fuel source to sustain cancers higher than normal growth rate, so eating less processed sugar must make less sugar available to cancer to ferment causing cancer to grow less.
I think its unfair when people make the absolute worst assumptions
concerning a diet they don't prefer while assuming the best scenario
of a diet that they do choose.
the anti-keto people assume that this is all about meat, cheese
fried foods, etc etc etc.
I eat keto and my daily diet is FULL of veggies. Its devoid of sugar
processed anything, wheat flour and potatoes but massively full of
zucchini, eggplant, onions, peppers, garlic, broccoli, brussel sprouts
cauliflower, among others, and all sorts of green leafys, tree nuts.
I don't drink milk or eat milk products
I make my own sauerkraut and fermented onions and garlic
I also make my own natto
I get my protein from pea protein, from eggs and fish
lots of avocado and olives and olive oil based dressings.
The results from switching from my vegan diet of 3 years to keto as
described above....i reversed my pre-diabetes, and my HDL increased by
about 6 points, my LDL dropped by 43 points.
so the cholesterol and pre-diabetes improved when switching from
a vegan diet (with admittedly too much sugar in retrospect) to a
"clean keto" diet
I'm also eating in a time restricted manner (eat during a 6 hour window)
The point is....if you define keto as meat meat meat meat meat then
you're not being completely honest when discussing the topic
High PSA led to some prostate cancer 5 years ago ,I have always been a pretty good eater ,never processed or fast food always made my own ,I work out ,have a high metabolism ,I consider myself in good shape ,so for 5 years I never use sugar ,went from 3 beers a day to glass or 2 of wine a week,, no dairy cept a little in my morning coffee ,got off meat ,ate more fish ,veggies ,{not as much as you } also make my own S K , and the last 4 years my blood work sucks ,cholesterol is up ,glucose why up ,triglycerides up ,,,frustrating ,,meantime my brother started keto and his numbers all came down ,wtf

Brilliant 👏👏👏👏👏👏 like always Doc 👏👏👏👏👏👊👊👊👊
Just had a friend die from breast cancer. She went keto a few years prior to her diagnosis and stuck to it during her treatments. She did holistic treatments with Hope4Cancer and when that didn’t work she did low dose chemo! So sad! Makes me angry! My little town is full of keto and a local retired chiropractor has been leading the charge!! He has her death on his hands as far as I’m concerned.
To add... she lived less than 14 months from diagnosis!! Thanks keto!!
Oh I knew this will be a good one :D
I do Keto along with intermittent fasting for weight loss and to reverse my insulin resistance. Once thats done im back on a very manageable intake. I have to say its working more than anything else ive tried in the past. Whats more i crave carbs and sugar WAY less once my body adapted about 3 days into it. I dont crave night snacking, or snacking in general, no sweets here, and i can pass the bread and chips now. That along w/ your body change is very exciting!
Yup! Keto really allows for going long periods in between meals. It's why that diet *truly* goes hand and hand with intermittent fasting (At this point I think all sides of the diet wars so-to-speak agree that there are definitely health benefits to intermittent fasting). It gets you out of the glucose / insulin cycling where you get hyopglycemic and have to keep eating frequently. Vegan diet is great and all, but it's not *near* as good as keto for allowing for intermittent fasting. It's proven to reverse insulin resistance and even type 2 diabetes (look up the clinical trial by Sarah Hallberg)
Same here and I switched to a whole food plant-based diet (not low carb) and intermittent fasting (1 meal per day) 4 months ago. I have finally broken my addiction to food and sugar. I have lost a lot of weight and I do not feel like I am on a diet.
Keto and intermittent fasting really works. It's amazing how people can't mentally and emotionally come to grips with keto.
Finally. Research about keto.

Thank you for this video. My question is: How does keto diet effect blood pressure?
My blood pressure dropped to very healthy levels once I lowered my carb intake to no more than 45 gm/day.
I eat the opposite, no more than 45 grams of FAT a day, and my blood pressure is around 100/60 on average. I rarely eat more than 30 grams a day
I should also add that my triglyceride level dropped over 15 mg/dL in less than two weeks once I cut back on the carbs.
I eat wfbp with minimal fat and like 70%+ carbs (however, no refined sugars or juices - I feel awful whenever I eat something like ice cream, its legit poison)
Bp of 110-65, sometimes lower
I should note, as a teenager I had bp of 130/80 or higher constantly!!, so don't trust ppl saying its genetic or shit... Its all diet.
Some people do better, some do the same, some might do worst. Depends on the reason of the HBP
That was sad. I was hoping at least fasting would be anti cancerous :( What about autophagy?
I know his next book is going to go into Fasting. He might be holding onto the research for Video format until it's released.
Keto has nothing of significant importance to do with fasting and the big picture of it’s benefits. I love Dr greger but he took fasting out of context. Starvation is not fasting. Starvation drives you to a ketogenic state...

Of course you couldn't afford it. They want the pleb to be on a plant based aka slave diet lol.
Is it possible that some cancers are more responsive to ketosis? Could genetic testing of the cancer see if it is glucose burning or ketone burning? I think that would be a better strategy than just recommending keto for all like everyone is doing.
I think you mean glucose burning or *glutamine* burning. Just an FYI, those are the two primary fuels that cancer feed on.
Chemo can make you fell awful. Keto not so much.
actually keto can make you feel awful as well. And chemo doesn't have to make you feel awful at all if you get IPT
@@StillTrustNo1 Yes for a short period while you shift to ketone burning but it doesnt happen to everyone and its not as prolonged and doesnt damage other parts of your system.

@@clintrichardsonclintfromny203 Wrong. If you have a variation in your LPL, CETP, APOC3 or APOE SNP(Snip) then you can have REALLY dire outcomes from a fat based diet.

Consider starting a free audible account and get the book "dirty genes" to get you started with the wonderful science of SNP's - then maybe after that consider an education.

What are your thoughts on Mr. Sebi's recommended foods? What I get from it is hybrid foods cause acid in the body, which causes damage to membranes, thus causes a mucus buildup and creates an environment for disease.
Complete bullshit, nothing the guy said was based on real science, he never had any education of any sort, I don't think he even finished high school if my memory serves me. He says not to eat foods that the longest and healthiest populations free of disease epidemics from centuries to millennia have eaten, which also has a lot of research proving to be healthy. He says starch is bad for you yet we are a species that is designed specifically to digest and assimilate starch in the body, we are a species that has an enzyme in our saliva that is designed to specifically start breaking down starch while chewing. The guy is a quack
you need the acid in the body to digest food.
@@80slimshadys Asked Durian Rider and Vegan Gains the same thing. Both said he was a quack. Curious on others points of view but thanks for the reply!
@@bbauck10 👍. When I first got into veganism 18 months ago I started following Sebi, that was when I first started learning nutrition and wasnt very knowledgeable. I just couldn't agree with his stupidly limited list of foods he allows you to eat so I researched a lot more and came to the conclusion that everything he was saying was illogical and not backed by anything science shows. You will not find anyone saying the stuff he did. He was a conspiracist. If you want a boring life then eat his way basically.
@@80slimshadys I'm glad you did your research. Most people don't. I myself have been vegan for 5+ years and am quite keen about what I eat. Especially conscious on how it makes me feel. Learning about the foods coming from Africa and them being in their original form sounded intriguing. The genetic variance of other foods being detrimental also sounded intriguing. It made sense that these foods may help since we all stem from Africa. Recently, I took a few weeks and consumed a lot of the foods and herbs he recommended. I can say I felt good but will need further evidence to clearly determine. One thing I noticed was a reduction of mucus. I noticed this because when I consumed some processed vegan foods there after I produced a lot of mucus phlegm. I plan on more frequent blood tests as a general marker of health. I see no problem eating this way, only that, like veganism, people like to label it as restrictive.
I am in nursing school and I have been having trouble figuring out why my professors think that we “need” to eat protein before our exams.

I watched a video where a keto-supporting physician was discussing its use as a medical intervention for diabetes. It was pretty persuasive. Then she casually mentioned sending her kids to school with lunches of protein & fat every day! I am not a scientist, but the sudden & unwarranted category leap there seemed obvious to me. Very strange.
I loved watching that video of Dr. Sarah Hallberg get confronted at a lecture by someone angry that, in spite of Hallberg's claims that a ketogenic intervention cures diabetes mellitus, she still had carb sensitivity, because when she ate a piece of fruit, her insulin skyrocketed. I felt sorry for the patient, but intrigued by Hallberg's avoidant reaction. Did the patient misunderstand what the intervention would do, or was she deceived by the doctor? If you can't tolerate even tiny servings of whole carbs on your diet, your diabetes isn't cured; it's been _concealed._
@@tamcon72 Well said. I'm gonna search for that video, sounds intriguing.
@@tamcon72 News flash, carbs will spike everybody's blood glucose, even those who DON'T have diabetes. Ketogenic diets often are used in therapeutic ways and it has to be a lifestyle change. If diabetics can eat healthy foods and not have to worry about spiking insulin and are able to get off of medications, how exactly is that a bad thing? All medicine does is conceal it as well. And that also isn't the case for everybody. Some people CAN actually reverse diabetes with a Ketogenic diet.
@@TheJokesterSCR They generally don't reverse it. That's what the research says. They cannot eat carbohydrate-rich foods--and I mean things like an apple or a bowl of plain oat gruel--without having an inordinately large and prolonged insulin response. If you must continue to eat a ketogenic diet because eating half a banana makes you feel faint, you haven't cured your diabetes.
What about being plant based yet suffering from SIBO?
Watch Goji Man's videos if you think you have SIBO.
Yeah, if you're suffering from SIBO, you've gotta cut out all grains and legumes. So i.e. might as well throw the vegan diet out the window. The bacteria feed on those carbs, and as long as you stay on that diet, the SIBO will remain and thrive. I had SIBO as well, and actually it was partly why I switched to keto, and it was helpful while dealing with SIBO.
Just because you have to stop eating legumes and grains doesn't mean you have to stop eating vegan, that is a ridiculous statement.
Thanks for the info Doc! I'm getting tired of those clips regarding how amazing keto is!
Opening a can of worms with this one 😂
I think people may actually realize the keto crew are even more religious about their diet than any vegan 😂
True, vegans have scientific evidence, ketogenic fans just have dogma.
(Except for proven short-term weight loss. But a whole food plant based diet also promotes weight loss.)
YEAH KETO CREW IS BAD! VEGANS ARE GOOD! VEGANS HAVE EVIDENCE! WE'RE BETTER! THEM BAD, US GOOD! LET'S GET OUR IDENTITY WRAPPED UP IN OUR DIETARY CHOICES! Bunch of egoic idiots in these comments.
@@broddr ketogenic dogma? im curious then why was ketogenics used to treat patients with epilepsy? why is the US military using keto esthers for their navy seals? why is keto the MOST searched diet in google? why do most people who research and follow it properly lose more weight then eating a vegan diet, have a better quality of life due to being able to do more then having to feed every couple hours like most vegans, but last do you even understand what a keto diet is? cuz a lot of people have this impression of what it is and they are 100% wrong.
D Scholtz -- a ketogenic diet for epilepsy has a 40% drop out rate. That's for people (mostly children) for whom this diet can literally be lifesaving. For the average person, the dropout rate is much higher. And after they go back to their previous eating habits, they gain all that weight back.
And scientific studies, both controlled feeding and observational, show that the ketogenic diet and a vegan diet have essentially identical weight loss results. And you do realize that anyone eating three meals per day and a snack or two is "eating every few hours." That's not unique to a whole food plant based diet.
And the Navy is using keto esters to combat oxygen toxicity from extended deep dives. Not as a diet, or even as a regular supplement. Nice try at over generalizing.
A plant based diet has hundreds of scientific studies that show many significant health benefits. Other than "bro science" the only positive scientific results for a ketogenic diet are fewer seizures for epileptics (are you an epileptic?) and short term weight loss. No doubt _some_ people who try a ketogenic diet keep the weight off. But that's true of any diet that moves people away from the high fat, high sugar standard American diet.
Please more keto videos!
