    The question isn't:
    "Is low gut diversity bad?"
    The question is:
    "Is diversity good or even necessary?"
    It's simply supply and demand. As you stated, if saturated fats go up (which require their own bacterial type), then fiber (and like) intake goes down. If there's no or lesser fiber or plant material, then it stands to reason the bacteria won't be there or are less likely to be there, i.e., "less diversity." If the body doesn't need it, then why would it have it?

    Context is certainly important. On a high-carbohydrate diet, fiber seems essential. On a strictly carnivorous diet, why would a diverse microbiome be necessary when the diet is not? Isn't the important thing for health the butyrate? And isn't butyrate one of the ketone bodies produced in abundance when one is on a carnivorous diet and the body is in ketosis?
    We know of at least one example in the carnivore community of someone who has been a carnivore for 40 years and has not seen a doctor or dentist in over 30 years. We should not make a generalization, but this diet does not seem to be fatal in the short term in any case.

    I’d looooooove to see microbiome studies on native Italians.
    My MIL, for example, cooks 80% vegetables, but after meals are fruits and some nuts and the pasta is loaded with beans or steamed vegetables or a homemade passata (fresh, not canned, tomato sauce. Gift from the gods I tell ya). The amount of pasta is about 70gr (dry weight of course) per person on average. There’s maybe some sausage or thinly sliced chicken breast after the pasta, with salad. Always sourdough bread on the table (ad libitum) and some aged cheeses.
    The thing is: everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, is cooked in/drowned in olive oil (and it’s the real deal, we own olive groves, this is our oil. Ditto the almonds on the table). Salad? Oil. Vegetables? Oil. Pasta? Oil.
    I’m low oil so I have to put my foot down which is very difficult to explain to her… but I’d love to know what’s going on the their guts.
    Even Italian desserts are low sugar, probably half (or less) than what Americans use. It’s glorious 🎉

    @Elliot_97 Год назад +26

    9:21 That's because there hasn't been a study comparing Carnivore Diet + Fiber supplement vs Carnivore Diet and no Fiber supplement. My understanding is that fiber dampens blood sugar/insulin spikes and so in standard diets consuming carbs and sugar, fiber can offset some of that blood sugar/insulin elevation and thus provides a benefit. But if your diet has no carbs or sugar, that function of fiber is no longer relevant and thus has no positive benefit.
    You also don't need whatever particular bacteria that fiber feeds if you're on a carnivore diet. You can process all the food on that diet without it. Furthermore Butyrate is not some unique must have molecule - it get's converted to Ketones according to Dr Paul Mason, which we have plenty of on Carnivore.
    Curious to hear any counterarguments to all this. I'm not an expert but this is what I've come to understand in my research.

    • @Physionic
      @Physionic  Год назад +16

      All good points, Elliot. You're right - there haven't been any studies making those comparisons - I'm looking forward to when there are (it'll be a few years). However, fiber's microbiome effects extend far beyond butyrate - that was just one example of many. So, taking care of the microbiome is essential, regardless of diet - especially since it has wide reaching effects, beyond blood sugar and insulin, as well.

      No counterargument to your points specifically, but to the Carnivore diet as a whole: There is still the potential issue of elevated LDL and oxidative stress (which some people claim doesn't matter, but so far I haven't seen concrete, bullet-proof evidence why it wouldn't), the carcinogenic effect of heme-iron and significantly elevated cortisol levels (due to it's role in blood sugar regulation) and TMAO's.

    • @Elliot_97
      @Elliot_97 Год назад +5

      @@Sundara229 The argument for LDL is that there's actually like 4 or 5 subgroups within 'LDL', varying in size. Only the smallest ones cause problems because it makes them unrecognizable to the liver and thus the liver doesn't properly uptake that circulating LDL. But what happens in blood tests of people on the carnivore diet is their total LDL goes up yes, but its almost entirely made up of the larger forms of LDL that are still recognised by the liver, and thus cause no harm. Furthermore, its general poor metabolic health, perhaps seed oils, perhaps alcohol/tobacco, that cause the oxidative stress which transforms LDL into these smaller versions that the liver can't recognise. And those things are not caused by the carnivore diet.

    I'd be highly sceptical of anything norton says that is not his main area of expertise. Once he made a video about hydrolized collagen saying it does nothing if i remember correctly. But the funny thing was that he instead said one should supplement with hydroxproline instead. Which is completely absurd. For those who don't know: hydroxyproline is part of collagen which would seem like a good choice to supplement with. But, the body cannot use hydroxyproline directly, it has to be broken up to get proline, then used to create procollagen. And only afterwards proline is hydroxylated. On the contrary, hydroxyproline increases the chance for kidney stones. And on a high protein diet, proline is not in short supply anyways( better supplement with glycine...) Long story short, he had no idea what he was talking about and from that time on I was very sceptical about what he says....

    Wish I could remember the details of the research I recently came across while looking into probiotics for my post-surgical child--the gist of it was that, when one takes a course of antibiotics and disrupts one's intestinal biome, there are three conceivable ways of proceeding after treatment has ended. (1) Perform a stool substitute transplant; (2) do nothing; (3) take probiotics. The study found that, if course 1 is followed, re-population of the gut occurs within a few days; if course 2 is followed, the re-population process takes a couple of weeks; if course 3 is followed, re-population is delayed by five months or more. As I recall, the theory advanced to explain this counterintuitive result was that the microorganisms that were introduced in the probiotic package were not native species and in fact competed against the indigenous microorganisms, delaying their proliferation and enabling the rise of rogue strains that, in the ordinary course of affairs, would have been suppressed by the native flora. Lactobacillus, especially, seemed to be a major antagonist of native species and a disruptor of gut equilibrium (and, of course, it's probably the most commonly-consumed probiotic).

    I think with the study of the microbiome still in its infancy, we should be careful not to read too much into them. For instance, is more diversity good or bad? Probably depends on what kind of diversity I'd imagine. One of the things that struck me was on bowel movement when Dr Norton was talking about fiber. I started thinking, how do we know what is even optimal? "You go more often and had bulk to stool". Is that good or bad? I think the biggest caveat is that some folks may think that optimal gut health is the end all, be all. Even if it were, we don't know exactly how to achieve it. Then there's the whole psychological aspect of nutrition. Probably the best advice at this time would be to get as far away from the Standard American diet as possible. Minimize processed foods and go for whole foods as much as possible.

    Isn't healthy user bias something different than what Norton and Hubberman discussed?
    Healthy user bias as they described it is quite easily controlled for by matching participants with similar confounders like exercise, protein content of diet, smaking until only the fiber intake is different between matched groups.
    Actual healthy user bias is a selection bias that cannot be controlled for after the participants have been selected for the study. People that are actively trying to be healthier tend to be more likely to sign up for a health study so the study population ends up not being representative of the general much unhealthier population. Like all those people that signed up for that carnivore study for instance.

    • @Physionic
      @Physionic  Год назад +5

      You could have a point there. I suppose one could interpret it either way; with both being important. The scenario you're describing definitely happens, but often researchers will screen participants pre-study to make sure they meet eligibility criteria for "unhealthy". So, for example, a study on fiber and hypertension would make sure all participants meet the requisite pathology of hypertension. If they do not, they are deemed ineligible to be part of the study. I think there are some populations that this still doesn't address (like race, ethnicity, etc.), but it would address the health aspects of people's lives.

    • @ThingsYoudontwanttohear
      @ThingsYoudontwanttohear Год назад +3

      @@Physionic I agree that both interpretations of health user bias are important to combat and these are thankfully properly combatted in the majority of studies. Yet, my interpretation of healthy user bias is not limited to epidemiology and is combatted in the participant selection phase of the research process in contrast to the data analysis phase.
      Because of this the interpretation of this bias by Norton and Huberman might be better described by 'multicollinearity' as multicollinearity means several independent variables in a model are correlated like high fiber intake and exercise, processed food intake.
      I will admit I am nit-picking, but seeing that many people think epidemiological studies are useless no matter how well they are done (and their participants are selected with incredible care) because "healthy user bias cannot be controlled for in such studies" I hope you understand my nit-picking.

The are also studies that point to higher cardiovascular risk (lower risk of diabetes) and more prevalence of gout (as with Taiwanese aboriginals and Maori). As for diet I understand Inuit consume mostly marine and terrestrial mammals, and sea birds and fish, but what would be relevant is the role of salt (higher levels of uric acid when in a carnivore diet) and calcium intake, lack of vitD during the darker months (which helps to absorb calcium in the bones) and the pollutants present in the meat they consume.

Also, things that are normally healthy to the ancestral meat eater will appear problematic in this artificial situation. For example, red meat, saturated fat and salt.

    But before getting into details I always first like to look at some high level properties. Here are some high level properties of vegan vs carnivore diet which means high fiber vs low (zero) fiber:
    Vegans get sick more often than average.
    Carnivores get sick less often than average.
    This always needs to be taken into account. No matter what aspect you study, you always need to be aware of those aspects.
    High fiber, low saturated fat,... means you get sick more often? While low fiber, high saturated fat,.. means you get sick less often. Whatever you say about fiber and saturated fat, it can't be the case that getting sick more often is the healthier way to eat.

    Just a couple of things I love Layne, find him to be one of the most reputable You Tubers , and I subscribe to his channel. Having said that if you search Simon Hill’s podcasts where he interviews some of the top gut microbiome researchers in the field, there seem to be differences in their views. One side says your gut microbiome bacterial makeup is pretty much established at birth and what diarupts their existance is exposure to SAD diet consisting of emulsifiers and other potentially additives and chemicals that kill off the bacteria. This also includes antibiotic use. So if you attempt to repopulate your gut with a cocktail of peobiotics and probiotics , it may not result in resolving the issue as your original strain of bacteria will always atrempt to repopulate and take priority. The other side says not totally true and consuming more prebiotic and probiotic foods like kefir, kombucha, kimchi, and sauerkraut can and will change your gut microbial makeup for the better and significantly improve your gut microbial makeup. There is also some debate as to why people have issues with fibre and probiotics or things getting worse. It is like the what came first tge chicken or the egg debate. Some claim that absence of fibre can cause some microbes in your gut to cannibalize your gut mucosal layer which can lead to leaky gut. Others say if you don’t have enough of a gut microbial makeup and you consume more fibre to start with, all that you will end up doing is p*oing the limited gut microbial bacteria as the fibre will act as a sponge. This long term can do more harm than good. Bro,now you understand why people can become so mistrustful and suspicious of Science and Research when even top experts in the field cannot agree among themselves and disseminate conflicting if not contradictory messages.
