The study was flawed. They took people that ate a high fat high carb diet with lots of processed food and didn't blame the trans fat processed meat but just put the blame on saturated fat.
@@aintfromrounhere8099 we found the vegan lol Bruh there's been more studies agaisnt the saturated fat bad and not much for it. We went over this in my research class with one of the most famous researchers in the US and maybe the world. The vegans would not accept that eliminating fat might not benefit them. They're so invested in their reasoning but they couldn't be so sure if a simple fact breaks their whole personality.
@@ObamanableSnowman There are a lot more observational studies against saturated fat and not many non-observational studies for it. There are plenty of times where we observe people starting a diet high on saturated fat, for example, people from other countries moving here, increasing their saturated fat intake, and then having a higher risk of heart disease. But we don't take into account what else they might be eating. If you have heart problems, the doctor is going to tell you to lay off the saturated fat. But you are also going to stop eating like crap, in general. Stop drinking soda, eating sugary snacks, etc. There are plenty of countries, like France, who have diets that are high in fat, but they don't eat the amount of processed carbs that we do. And they don't have heart problems. That's the crux of everything. Whether you are vegan or not, the sheer amount of processed carbs Americans eat is what is causing their heart problems. Not Saturated fat. We've been eating saturated fat for millenia.
@@Denny-Thray I have read tons and tons of expert doctors and researchers opin that saturated fat intake is associated with higher LDL and higher risk of these diseases. And almost all opposing opinion have been from aternative sources. Even people like What I've learned and Dr. Eric berg are both alternative sources. I personally use a oil rich in saturated fat, and in the past I used to think like you because of this specific interview and tons of others, my cholesterol has been in tipping point of unhealthy for quite a while now, probably because of this. I only use coconut oil because it doesn't produce trans fat like literally all other replacements I could find. I use it sparsely though. It's better to be safe than sorry and this is why I'd probably never take advise from camps that deny these evidence altogether.
Get blood work, change and track diet for a couple of months, get blood work again. After that, who cares what general population trends occur with regards to diet, you'll know what works for you.

I have high cholesterol and eat lots of saturated fat yet I have had multiple coronary artery calcium scans over the last few years that have scored zero which means I have zero buildup/blockage in my coronary arteries, so no heart disease. As the first guy pointed out we didn't see lot of heart attacks in the early 20th century but we did start seeing them increase exponentially in the later 20th century. Why? It wasn't because more people were eating more saturated fat. It was the opposite. More people were eating less saturated fat and more processed sugar laden foods. It's not the cholesterol and saturated fat that causes heart disease it's the sugar and junk carbs.
Saturated fat and calorie consumption in general was lower before WW2. During the post war boom, meat and dairy consumption increased greatly. Ancel Keys' tipoff to the causal role fat played was that heart disease decreased during rationing, when meat and dairy were very restricted. Not everyone is as susceptible to increased LDL from dietary sources. There are plenty of anecdotes of long lived people who ate a decent amount of saturated fat. That doesn't change the clear trends preset when we analyze diets for entire populations. And of course, there are RCTs at this point that controlled for diet directly. You are right that refined carbs are a risk factor for heart disease. However, they're just as bad as saturated fat. No health guidelines recommend replacing sat fat for refined carbs. A lot of people might do that, but that's not a failure of the lipid hypothesis. It's that most people are terrible at feeding themselves.
@@Strawbclock0 Look up sugar association and the tabacco industry. The whole low fat fad of dietary guidlines was created, reaserched and published by people who had stakes in sugar!

@@Noah-wv4td Except cholesterol is NOT BAD. It rises to help combat inflammation. It's what hormones are made out of, including Vitamin D when your skin hits the sunlight. So if vegans have the lowest cholesterol, assuming cholesterol was bad, then that would be a good thing.. Except cholesterol isn't bad.. Refined sugars and carbs raise insulin and cause inflammation, so the body increases its production of cholesterol as a bandage. So in this case, higher cholesterol is TELLING US there is inflammation, but at the same time, it's helping us combat it. But what do the doctors do? Give you statins to prevent you from producing the cholesterol.. So yes your blood cholesterol is lowered, but you just got rid of your bandage against inflammation, and the damage the insulin is doing plus the inflammation is still there! Now vegans have low cholesterol NOT BECAUSE THEY HAVE LOW INFLAMMATION, they don't eat any animal products so the body has a tough time producing enough cholesterol. They have less protection against inflammation, less raw material to make hormones, low vitamin D, and the consequences are many (low sex hormones, adrenal fatigue, hypothyroid etc)

Well when in comes to diet and cholesterol to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also for looking in to this matter from a different perspective and without being condemning from one's views and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering everyone's valid opinion, i honestly believe i forgot what i was going to say
@Mr. Mopar yeah blood sugar spikes are responsible for the bulk of people's weight gain. I recommend a high protein, high fiber diet and weight training to anyone that will listen. What is going to accelerate your weight loss, and keep the weight off, is going to be adding lean muscle to your body. Muscle is hungry stuff.
@CriticalZero PCOS and thyroid issues can cause weight gain. Carbs can cause weight gain in people with these issue. Healthy carbs cause weight gain in some people.
Key thing here is the fact that this seemed to boom after WWII. That’s when processed convenience foods became widely distributed. And fast food chains followed. The fact that this wasn’t our great great great grandparents case who ate meat dairy, eggs, vegetation, lived off the land, tells you most likely it’s the processed crap that is the problem. Eat more whole food, plants and meats.
I live in a country where almost all of our food is fresh eaten still we have high MI(becouse we love meat so much), our grandparents life expectancy was much lower than ours they didn't live to become older and to be exposed to heart attacks and even if they were they I don't think they were recorded as a MI
Heart disease is mostly common among old folks. In 1920s, people who mostly died from heart disease/strokes were old people: It's been proven that aging increased the risks for heart attacks/strokes. My friend's grandma died after suffering a massive hemorrhagic stroke at 87 in 2007.
Or maybe, just maaybe, it is the amount of food/fats/sugars we eat. People are overconsuming as hell, they did not have that option a few decades before.
Up until the industrial revolution and before we could ship fruits around the globe, the majority of the world was in ketosis for 9-10 months of the year. Cholesterol is not a factor unless there is a pre-existing nutrient deficiency, typically Vitamin C. This deficiency in our American society is typically caused by excessive blood insulin, which in turn is related to excessive carbohydrate ingestion. Dietary cholesterol (that which comes from the foods you eat) only accounts for 20-25% of the cholesterol your liver makes each and every day. These knuckle heads are arguing over something which is not significant. Well...one is arguing. The body needs lots of cholesterol. Your nerve myelin sheaths, brain cells, sex organs, hormones, thyroid T4-T3 conversion and a bunch of other processes require cholesterol production. Seeing cholesterol build up in blood vessels is a sign that something else is going wrong in the vascular and arterial walls (lesions). have you noticed that cholesterol is only a topic at issue with regard to heart and vascular health? Why is that? Do you think the human body uses cholesterol and saturated fats well for all other systems and then somehow f***s up with regard to this singular system?? Think about it, the rise in heart attacks coincides with the rise in dietary sugars. We didn’t have the availability of year round processed grains and processed sugars and fruits until the last 120 years or thereabouts. Lipoproteins carry BOTH cholesterol and triglycerides. The folks with heart disease also almost always have chronically elevated insulin levels. We are only looking at fats as causative because Ancel Keyes was a dumbass lying manipulative bastard looking to falsely promote his own backward ideas. There is only one blue zone which doesn’t consume animal products. The rest eat fatty fish and oils and animals. What they don’t eat is sugar and crappy processed oils. It’s the processed foods and all the sugars and stripped grains which cause the problems. Our grains are absolute shit. We strip the grain and eliminate all of the B vitamins. The liver can’t cope with processing carbs in the absence of B vitamins. This is why Asia now has to contend with increased levels of Beriberi (B1 deficiency induced disease) Want to heal your heart? Eat fats. Up your vitamin C intake without stimulating an insulin response. Insulin blocks uptake of Vitamin C. Vascular walls require elasticity and collagen like cells. These come from Vitamin C and certain amino acids as building blocks. The cholesterol will only cause a problem if there is a lesion to repair. If the arterial and vascular walls are healthy then the intelligent body systems won’t need to deposit cholesterol to patch the lesions. This is not rocket surgery. It’s time to get rid of the cholesterol-is-dangerous model. We have had the low fat/high carb idiots running our SAD guidelines since the 1970’s and during that same time we have seen DRASTIC rises in heart disease, cancer, diabetes. These chronic diseases all share the same root cause - Lactic acidosis due to excessive carbohydrate metabolism. This mechanism merely manifests differently in different persons. Root cause is identical. 1. Keto 2. Fasting 3. Micronutrient increase 4. Burst exercise training 5. Gut repair That’s how you repair blood vessel damage That’s how you reverse diabetes That’s how you begin to address cancer
How do you increase vitamin C without an insulin response? Certain vegetables? I know fruits have lots of vitamin C but they all have sugar...but it’s natural sugar. Thanks for the summary!!!
@JCmasters100 Probably because dr. Grease was debating badly, bringing up unrelated shit and studies from 70 years ago. Like science hasn't improved since then.

I have genetic high cholesterol, born with it and in my family. My grandfather had his first heart transplant when he was only 45. When I was 18 I had arteries that were “clogged” in the 99 percentile to the point that they were those of a 40 year. After taking medication and reducing cholesterol and saturated fat in my diet (I am vegetarian now, say what you want about that) my arteries have cleaning out to the 50 percentile and that of a mid 20 year old. This was only 4 years.
I just did a large exhaustive study....I ate all the meat and fat in my lab/kitchen...several lbs.....burp....I'm sure I will die shortly....because a vegan told me...the vegan agenda started by the religious cult who thought animal foods cause masterbation....The Seventh Day Adventist Church.
They dont, cause if they do, it is clear that if you have healthy baseline levels , or if you have low dietary levels, your cholesterol shoots up ( www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1534437 , meta analysis and review)
@@nunoschumacher6028 I noticed that too. I have also read into the study more and found it interesting that the people they used in the analysis already had high levels of cholesterol before the study. If you give an egg to someone who already has high cholesterol, of course their numbers won't go up significantly - put a twig on a bonfire and see if it makes a difference. But if you give an egg to someone who is living a whole foods plant based diet void of any amount of animal proteins, then their cholesterol shoots up.
@@TheBeardedSandman Look up the elderly gentlemen who eat 35-30 eggs a day long term - no cardiovascular issues... perhaps it isn't as simple as "cholesterol bad mkay" the brain, mothers milk, our lipid cells etc - all cholesterol
@@theboraxbandit9563 I really think I made that comment more than 2 months ago... my opinion on the matter has been shifting quite a lot. First, I really don't think the cholesterol we eat correlates to high cholesterol in the blood. It's only a small percentage of dietary cholesterol that actually gets metabolized into the body anyway, so the cholesterol in eggs doesn't really do much. The second argument is about saturated fat and it's effect on cholesterol. While I do believe eggs increase cholesterol in the blood due to saturated fat metabolism in the liver, most of that cholesterol is actually HDL, not LDL. If anything, eggs are good for your heart depending on how you cook them. Lastly, there was a study on monkeys a while back - they fed monkeys pure cholesterol and within weeks they were all having heart attacks, but then they looked at the quality of the cholesterol and found that most of it had oxidized. When they fed the monkeys non-oxidized cholesterol, all the heart attacks stopped. Looks like the quality of the food you eat and how you prepare said food matters just as much as what the food actually is. There's so much more that goes into this. But no, I don't think eggs are America's heart disease problem. Refined grains, processed foods, sedentary lifestyle; these are the true causes.
The rate of heart attacks begins to rise in 1948. What changed about the american diet? Did people all of the sudden start eating meat and butter? Im pretty sure that had been going on forever. So what did change? Pretty sure people started eating a lot more sugar

@Christopher Har V mate, you gotta question causation. Atherosclerosis causes thrombolitic plaquing in forms of cholesterol trying to repair the damage, doesn't mean that cholesterol is the criminal in heart disease.. i mean look at the eskimos and hunter-gatherers. The thing is that Ancel started with 28 countries but crossed out 19 of them to come to his conclusions because they were not in line with his hypothesis... I view it kind of like seratonin for depression. The reason suicide is listed as a side-effect of antidepressants is because different levels of seratonin show up in different mental diseases and someone not having a reuptake issue could easily be depressed. Yet so far we didnt find a better explanation so we went like ok this seems the most legitimate mechanism of action. I mean eggs contributing to atherosclerosis was "proven" by feeding rabbits (a herbivore) eggs. Cereal companies enjoy and fund such researches, and high carb foods like pasta are cheap to produce, durable and a good business model

The only diet that's used as an intervention for heart disease, successfully I might add, is a WFPB diet with little fat. I am not suggesting it's the healthiest diet since it's an intervention for extreme cases, but there are no clinics using low carb diets as interventions for heart disease. Not a single one.
The doctor said that heart attacks became an issue in the 1940s or at skyrocketed but were people eating earlier than 1940 were dating less meat eggs cheese and butter?
Fact Check at 5:32. The claim that two tablespoons of olive oil contains more saturated fat than a 7oz pork chop - Not true. Two tablespoons of olive oil contains 3.8g of saturated fat and a 7oz (198g) pork chop contains 8.5g of saturated fat. Pork chop (even a small 7oz one), has double the saturated fat of two tablespoons of olive oil. This is "a little-known fact" because it's total BS. - Besides, who eats Two tablespoons of olive oil in the first place - a bad comparison.
Bro please please please read the meta analysis. Consumed saturated fats directly correlates to serum cholesterol levels. Of course the body needs saturated fats but it is grossly over consumed in most American’s diets
You are reading the meta wrong... people who eat a lot of saturated fat in the US also eat a lot of sugar... Sugar is and was always the problem, not fat.
Ju Berry Red Herring. I’m not defending sugar. It’s clear that saturated fats lead to higher cholesterol levels. The problem is that crooked doctors fight against the notion that saturated fat does correlate to cholesterol by taking a sample of people who already consume ridiculous amounts of saturated fat so if you increase it, they show little to no change. BUT if you control for base levels of cholesterol it does indicate a correlation between consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol. We’re referencing different research

What they aren't including in this discussion that I personally believe weighs very heavy on the amount of heart attacks and cholesterol, etc, etc, etc. is SMOKING AND STRESS. The speaker just glossed over the smoking contribution. Heavy saturated fat eaters coupled with smoking and stress. Men were dropping dead from smoking and stress. Okay so he admits smoking might effect it.
The anti-saturated fats guy completely ignores two major early studies showing that substituting supposedly heart-healthy polyunsaturated fats for saturated fats provided no identifiable benefit in cardiovascular event reduction. Those were the Minnesota Coronary Experiment and the Sydney Heart Study. Both studies were large-scale, long-term, randomized control trials. Both came to the same conclusion that polyunsaturated fats, primarily vegetable oils, provided no benefit. Both occurred in the 1960s and 1970s. The researchers suppressed the results of both tests and hid them from public knowledge for about 50 years. They refused to publish the results of the tests because the results proved their saturated fat hypothesis to be wrong.
What the guy in black doesn't acknowledge is that excessive carbohydrates oxidize LDL and help create Lipoprotein(a), preventing the recycling of LDL by the liver. Lipoprotein(a) is readily absorbed into the blood vessel lining, where macrophages soak up the molecules, creating the white foam that puts pressure on the cell wall and leads to calcification of the arteries.
Glucose only oxidizes LDL significantly if you have diabetes or prediabetes. If you are eating a low fat diet and losing weight, your insulin sensitivity improves. Sugar doesn't cause diabetes.
@@Magnulus76 word? Excess Sugar causes you to get fat. Once you get fat you start getting in insulin resistant. Keep on sugaring and the diabetes party begins.
Its essential to have your OWN cholesterol. Eating it from animals heightens your chances to numerous diseases and ailments including heart disease and attacks.
Cholesterol, which is only available from other animals like ourselves, is together with saturated fat (richest sources: dairy and fatty meat) are the ONLY dietary causes of plaque formation in your blood vessels which long-term causes high blood pressure, heart disease and cognitive diseases. So don’t be giving advice like that without having any reviewed studies to back it up cause that can have dangerous consequences for people.
I heard a good explanation which is, blaming cholesterol for heart disease is like blaming fireman for fires. Just because they are present at the event doesn't mean they are the cause.
Close but not it. I'm not exactly sure that saturated fat helps against heart disease like a fireman does for a fire. It's more like just because then EMTs are present at fires doesn't mean they cause them.
The problem with the beta carotene study was that it compared food to synthetic pharma supplements. The two are not identical. Synthetic beta carotene can be pro oxidative, whereas getting beta carotene from whole foods is not. What's the take away? Eat your fruit and veggies, skip the pills.
From Garth Davis, MD: Let’s start with the statement that there is no evidence that dietary cholesterol affects cholesterol. Wrong! It is true that most of our cholesterol is synthesized, only about 20-30% comes from diet. Also true that there is down regulation in synthesis with increased consumption. So we absorb about 60% of consumed cholesterol BUT this number may be lower if you are a high consumer and higher if you are a low consumer, which is why vegans will see a dramatic rise in cholesterol if they start eating it. That being said, ward studies show a very definitive increase in cholesterol with eating cholesterol. The prospective ward studies show an increase of 2-2.5 mg/dL per 100 mg of cholesterol. So he is clearly wrong. This effect is much lower than saturated fats effect on cholesterol. In fact, studies Kresser will cite to show dietary cholesterol won’t increase serum cholesterol were studies that increased dietary cholesterol BUT decreased saturated fat. A sneaky way to publish a study saying dietary cholesterol doesn’t increase serum cholesterol. Now the statement that higher cholesterol doesn’t affect mortality is UTTERLY wrong. I mean, c’mon!!! You could write a book on this, and many have been written. Hundreds of studies. This is why we have cholesterol lowering drugs. I can list so many studies here but let’s go with this recent excellent prospective study on people with low risk followed 10 yrs. www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.118.034273 Now, the statement that there is “no” evidence that saturated fat increases your risk of mortality is beyond ridiculous. None? Really? Studies clearly show that reducing saturated fat by switching to monounsaturated fat significantly reduces risk of cardiac event. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/9366580/. Likewise, shifting saturated fat to polyunsaturated fat greatly decreases coronary events. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/20351774/. Even replacing saturated fat with whole grains will reduce heart disease, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5492032/. This review showed that replacing saturated fat with carbs didn’t decrease heart disease but DOES decrease risk of death. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/29174025/. Much of the issue may have to do with the food as a whole rather than just looking at saturated fat. Certainly saturated fat coming from meat is more tied to mortality www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3966685/. Now it is vital to understand that there is data that suggests that saturated fat has no effect on cardiac events. How can there be such discrepancy. The main study that demonstrated this, and the most referenced study on the topic is this: scholar.google.com/scholar?q=saturated+fat+and+cardiovascular+mortality+scholarly&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart#d=gs_qabs&p=&u=%23p%3DthFOEITShzoJ. I suggest you look at where the funding came from for this study. Now let me explain to you the trick in this study. They were looking to show that saturated fat did not affect heart disease. So, they wanted to eliminate all confounding factors that can contribute independently to heart disease. In doing so, they controlled for cholesterol. The problem here is the fact that saturated fat, in part, contributes to heart disease by increasing cholesterol. So basically they are removing the key pathological step. What is left are people who are not as affected by saturated fat. This is called over adjustment. Dr. Stamler provided excellent critique of this article in NEJM academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/91/3/497/4597072. Bottom line is that the literature certainly suggests cutting back on saturated fat is good for your heart. We know that the Ornish program and Dr. Esselstyn’s program cut saturated fat tremendously and actually reverse heart disease. jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/188274 I can go on forever but let’s get to longevity, because at some point I have to get back to my day job. So let’s go to the question of who lives longer. This is a tough one. Very hard to compare life long vegetarians and lifelong omnivores. So many variables. The EPIC Oxford trial attempted to compare vegetarians, vegans, and meat eaters. Of note, the meat eaters were low level meat eaters and controlled to be moderate veggie consumers. In other words, the meat eating control was healthier than your average omnivore in England, as evidence by lower mortality rates compared to their compatriots. There was in fact a mortality difference though small. Recently the authors did a much larger review, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4691673/#!po=40.4110. This exhaustive review showed vegetarians had much lower pancreas and blood cancer but all cause mortality was not lower. How could this be? Well they explain in their discussion that their results are different to the Adventist Health study and this may be because of differences in diet quality between the Adventist Health and the Epic group. This is CRUCIAL to understand. The Adventist Health Study May be the best population to study for several reasons. First off, the population is very similar. They live in the same area, they practice generally healthy lifestyle, yet they are genetically different. Many thousands have been placed in their database and followed for many years. The authors of the epic study note that one deficit in their study is the fact that there was not a large difference between their meat eaters, and even their high meat eaters were not eating a lot of meat compared to US meat intake. This is important. If you are doing a study looking at 2 groups but they don’t differ much with regards to the variable being measured then you won’t see big differences. In fact, the Adventist group had much larger differences between groups. Also, the Epic vegetarians and vegans were not very healthy eaters. In several studies this group was found to eat about the same amount of fiber, a measly 20 gm, as the meat eaters. Several studies showed that many did not supplement B12 or did not get at least 500mg of calcium. The Adventist group did better in these regards, though still not to the diet I recommend. The Adventist Health Study shows a clear longevity advantage www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/10479225/, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/23836264/. These are excellent well controlled studies. An excellent Meta-Analysis was done on vegetarians and mortality and it showed a definite benefit to cardiovascular mortality and lower cancer incidence. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/22677895/. Of course, there have not been that many studies on vegetarians and longevity because there are not that many vegetarians. The literature, however, is rich with studies showing that lower meat consumption is associated with lower all cause mortality. I list many in my book but this is perhaps the best review: academic.oup.com/aje/article/179/3/282/103471

As my wife has a PhD in Statistics I feel comfortable reminding people that correlation is not causation. They picked saturated fat and tried to prove it was correlated. They didn't bother to figure out if it was actually doing anything or of anything else was related.
How about they try using the word OVERCONSUMPTION? This word is downplayed to the point where "authorities" within a subject use it as a invisible catalyst to carry an idea. However it's importance could be the central thesis of the arguement. There are other countries that have access and consume the same types of high fatty or processed foods that we have. But why are their obesity levels, heart disease levels, and heart attack risks so low in comparison to ours? Because America consumes up to 5x the amount of something that the rest of the world does, Britain is EVEN MORE! They brought up Japan alot, arguably the healthiest country in the world, but failed to mention their portion sizes and consumption rates compared to ours. We over consume almost everything that doesnt have a warning label and even then still fuck it up with the massive pharmaceutical OD death statistics rising and alot of them are accidental. So you put NO WARNING on overconsumption for alcohol, fast food, or processed food, and then consume 5x the amount required for energy and nutrition, then act surprised when your cells call it quits after being redlined everyday for 15 years? Try putting a 63 Octane rated fuel in your car and then drive everyday carrying maximum load, and scratch your head when the engine says FUCK YOU and seizes.
Well said, Black. Everybody's bumping heads because of minutia like fats, cholesterol and sugar, when in fact the issue is plain abuse. Let's face it, Amercans love to pig the fuck out. It's the abuse that's the issue, not the occasional Coke, fries, burgers, whatever.
Too much of anything is bad but sugar and fats are the worst. Saying that try eating too many whole vegetables. Won't happen. You physically won't want to.
I was gaining weight and feeling really bad no matter what I was doing...exercising, lower calories. When you realize your body has no idea what a calorie is and that is a finely tuned machine that is controlled by hormones, losing weight and getting healthy is pretty easy....food isnt entertainment...it is nutrition.
"...you realize your body has no idea what a calorie is". No shit, a calorie is a unit of measurement defined by humans to represent energy. Your body knows what energy is. Eat less energy in the form of hundreds of calories a day and you lose weight, eat more energy and you gain weight.
It was a great discussion but let's all be honest. Joel Kahn is a real medical doctor with studies. Kresser is not a medical doctor. He studies pseudoscience chinese medicine. He tried to call out Kahn referencing epidemiology studies but then Kahn called him out using epidemiology studies to support his claims lol. Plus any studies Kresser referenced on cholesterol didnt measure at base line.

No, Chris was using flawed studies that amount to junk science. He refereed to a study that did not account for baseline cholesterol. The affect is not linear. The less you have, the greater the impact. If you already have a lot, there may be no impact. You can't take a bunch of unhealthy people who have high cholesterol, give them more knowing it will have no change, and then claim there is no connection. That is the stuff of con artists.

i like how he saids look at japan less cholesterol than americans look at france they eat all the stuff our guidelines say not to eat and they have very low risk at having heart attacks and have low cholesterol compared to us. what people over look is the lifestyles japan and france both have very active cultures it’s not uncommon for someone in france to walk on an advantage 5 miles a day. i know some people here that sit in a office and do next to no walking maybe walk 5 miles a week. it’s not just what you eat it’s also how you live. japan also eats differently most don’t keep enough food in their homes to last 3 days. they eat less and eat out while on the move and don’t eat late. how many people in america work late and eat when they get home. there’s a million factors. constant hard stress on a person who eats right and works out can cause a rise in cholesterol. our system is so fed up it’s crazy for years they told us crap like margarine and diet sodas was great for us. Now they say their horrible for you.
That's because he, like ancel keys, is strategically choosing his examples out of a plethora of data to support his hypothesis. To him making a point is more important than reviewing the full body of data.
No, when looking at the actual data, the French have those things in very little amounts compared to the amount of vegetables and fruits that they eat.
Keto is good short term for quick weight loss, as all fad diets are, or for a kick start for moving into a more healthier diet. But if you do this long term, yes it's very bad for you! And unsustainable. Just eat a healthy balanced diet where the majority of your food comes from nutricious whole plant foods and be active. Good luck :)
I really wished that he mentioned that the so called blue zones with a high life expectancy conveniently left out regions where people eat a lot of animal products but still don't have problems with heart disease.

At 5:20 he says “ to deny the problem with saturated fat is to throw out every major health organization in the world”. My answer? I CANT WAIT TO THROW OUT EVERY MAJOR HEALTH ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD!
The French eat more saturated fat than any other country in Europe, yet it has the LOWEST heart disease. Ukraine eats the least amount of such fats, yet it has the highest rate of heart disease.
I went vegan after two successive yearly blood tests showing upward trending cholesterol and blood sugar. After one year vegan on a whole foods plant based diet, all markers dropped back into healthy range. Lost 12 kilos and my cardio fitness and general energy levels have increased dramatically. Before this change of diet I was consuming a predominantly Mediterranean diet and thought vegans were loopy. Having made the change the only regret I have now is not doing it earlier.
I would agree that short term vegan diets are cleansing... but don't fool yourself thinking you can stay vegan long term. You will starve. Plants are cleansing and medicine, and meat is building and nourishing.

"I have been in a heart 15000 times, and never scooped sugar out of a heart". that is literally the dumbest statement ever uttered on the internet. Moreover, it shows a willingness to warp and distort to make a point, a BIG red flag in my book.
He never scooped sugar out of a blocked artery. Dumb statement. Eating sugar and other carbohydrates raises triglycerides and lowers HDL. It also causes dysfunctional alterations in LDL molecules. LDL levels may seem normal, but this dysfunctional LDL can cause rapid clogging of arteries and increased risk for thrombosis.
It's crazy how we don't know what's good or not nowadays. A couple of years ago fat was bad, vegetables were good, and meat affected your body negatively. I'm just gonna eat and consume things that don't personally make me feel bad.
Follow the money. Just look at all the Paleo related junk Kresser is trying to sell on his website, and check his medical credentials, what does this tell you!?
Do yourself a favor and look up the papers Kresser's cites, not his blog. A good example of the egg study. That study contradicts his view on saturated fat and cholesterol, but he cites the sentence on egg intake and cholesterol. Not only that, the folks in that study already had high cholesterol. He is cherry picking studies and in some cases, cherry picking sentences in the studies, and there are many contradictions when you look at his sources.

Animal products are higher in LDL fat which is the bad cholesterol. The problem is that crooked doctors fight against the notion that saturated fat does correlate to cholesterol by taking a sample of people who already consume ridiculous amounts of saturated fat so if you increase it, they show little to no change. BUT if you control for base levels of cholesterol it does indicate a correlation between consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol.

According to Dr. Rhonda Patrick who is a very reliable Doctor and scientist says diet does not effect LDL cholesterol levels in the blood. She goes very deep into it and explains it very well on her RECENT studies. Recent as in within the last few years. Look into her hour long plus lectures and podcasts with other scientists and doctors on her RUclips channel called 'Found My Fitness'. This Vegan doctor Joel is basing most of his research on research that was done in the 90s, 70s, and the 50s! Science progresses over time and changes from studies that are done and with new technology that becomes available.

Not sure what Chris is talking about Olive oil has mostly Monounsaturated fat in it. Also different types of saturated fats (there's mainly 3 different types we attain from diet, Lauric, Palmitic and Stearic acid) have different effects on health.
Just further proof that Joe Rogan’s podcast is the greatest podcast ever created...and it’s not even close. What other podcasts give you this amount of insightfulness, variety, and civil, profound debate? Real talk 💯

Scott DuPont no smoking drugs or alcohol sugar wasn’t his thing notice nothing sweet on his menu just lots of saturated fat he was a cyclist and swimmer doctors said poor diet was the cause
Scott DuPont Carbohydrates consist of starches, sugar and fibre. Wheat contains basically 0 sugar and a lot of fiber. So your statement that flour is 70% sugar is wrong.
There's tons of carbs and Trans fats in your aforementioned diet. Which today are considered the root causes of inflammation and auto immune disease, according to the leading science of today.
@@triger1 well, technically all carbs(simple as well as complex) are chains of sugar molecules but no food or macro group is bad for you unless u exceed your caloric goals..but the thing is, saturated fat foods actually keep u satiated for a much longer time than carb rich foods expect potato which is also not actually bad within caloric limits..
So basically he ate cheap, highly processed foods without a lot of nutrition, his meat and cheese likely came from grain fed cows, and he got lots of trans fats and carbs - and yet you blame it on the saturated fats. This is one of the problems, to look at ONE FACTOR RETROSPECTIVELY and imply that that must have been the problem and cause. Sorry, this is not reliable or helpful information and actually doesn't say anything about how much saturated fats or any other factor contributed to his premature death.
I've just been cutting processed foods and cutting out seed oils... The reduction of seed oils via deep fried food and only cooking with coconut oil has made a bigger difference on how I feel than anything I've tried. Keto would probably be a better move but I've tried it but can't stick to it
@@chris-nj3vg That is based on studies where they did not correct for carb intake. Saturated fats on their own will cause you to gain weight or clog arteries
I would be really curious to see a study comparing low carb diets to moderate/high carb diets BUT with one group consuming mostly processed and simple carbs (packaged and boxed snacks, high sugar cereals etc) and the other group consuming complex and natural carbs. Or at least have more studies when comparing low carb diets to diets who are eating carbs but only complex ones (i.e. sweet potatoes, quinoa, sprouted no sugar added breads etc.) because I wonder if when they are using individuals who eat carbs that are filthy carbohydrates and loaded with weird oils, sugars and stuff like de-caking agents and other weird chemicals that we shouldn't be eating to make the product look, feel, or smell a certain way that naturally wouldn't be so. I think there would be a huge difference in results.
This is very important and easy to miss!!! Kresser brings up two meta-analyses at 7:05, which Kahn fails to strongly rebut UNTIL 19:55. It's obvious that Kahn had responses but didn't immediately realize which studies Kresser was referring to (since he doesn't reference authors). Also, Kresser never responds to Kahn's points, indicating that he may have missed the fact that he was addressing the two meta-analyses he brought up as evidence! If you don't connect those dots, you'd be left thinking Kresser's 1-2 punch was KO, but those studies were widely criticized as Kahn touches on.
Joe seems very partial in this debate, he fails as a debate host because he not objective......The last question asking about 50 year old study, when he just spend the last 5 minutes talking about a study from 2008.....Like Joe but in this instance the act idiotic, he clearly didnt listen to the guy, just waited to attack his argument, without listening to his argument. Stay objective or you just pollute the water, let the experts debate.
Dr Ronda Patrick covered this in much better detail, they're missing the huge component of gut health and endotoxin entering the blood stream causing heart disease.
As Dr. Kahn said, the first major study to suggest high fat intake was related to heart disease was Ancel Keys "Seven Country Study". What he failed to mention was that it was originally a 22 country study, but threw out the 2/3rds of the countries that didn't fit his hypothesis, including France, which has some of the highest fat intake in the world but also the lowest cardiac death rate. Pate, foie gras? They don't even use olive oil, they use butter. Read about this ridiculous study and it's early and current criticisms here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Countries_Study . Furthermore, big pharma spent over $100 M on research regarding lowering cholesterol and came up with nothing so they fudged the stats and used "Relative Risk" instead of "Absolute Risk" to amplify a 1% difference between placebo and cholesterol-lowering drugs to over 33%. I LOL with a commercial I saw last night for the triglyceride-lowering drug Vascepa. At 0:16 it literally states "It is not known if Vascepa reduces your risk of having an inflamed pancreas, a heart attack or a stroke." ? LOL! Watch it here: ruclips.net/video/6Ujrm--bbVc/видео.html . So WTF would you be taking it for? People, I'm a physician. Go low carb, learn how to keep your pelvis in a neutral position to avoid spine problems, exercise at least 2-3 a week, sleep 7-8 hours a night, and keep good relations with your family and you will live into your 100s with little need to see me or my colleagues.

I love how you actually referenced your sources. I think back to the late Jack LaLanne, the godfather of modern fitness. He lived to 96 years old and survived on a diet high in raw vegetables, fruits, fish, eggs, some oatmeal, bone broth, and a glass of wine every night. He didn't eat any refined carbs or proceeded meats and he exercised every day. Frank Zane who is almost in his 80s eats a diet high in lean animal protein, high in olive oil, low in carbs, and no processed foods. He still works out every day and to my knowledge has no heart disease. To me, this is pretty clear evidence that a whole foods diet with unprocessed meats and ZERO refined carbs is the way to go.
@@Aria-Invictus His point is that science has evolved a fuck ton since the 50s. Newer, much more precise, detailed, and more numerous studies have shown radically different results than what was found in the 50s. Dude on the left makes mostly observational and emotional points. The guy on the right only sites the most recent and accepted research. What's so hard to understand about that?
I can't take Kresser seriously ever since he was destroyed in a debate by ex UFC fighter James Wilks! how on earth are you supposed to take him seriously while debating an actual surgeon???
Just cause he lost one debate (if he even did, I havent watched that debate yet) doesn't mean he's wrong on everything. It also doesn't mean you can dismiss his arguments. They seem pretty solid, and even if you don't trust him, the studies he references should speak for themselves
I agree! Kresser can't even read a forest plot. He knows so little about health and nutrition and is not qualified to give diet advice. He is not a nutritionist, a doctor, or an expert in the health field.
"winning" a debate is nothing more an indication of one's abilities to debate. It doesn't necessarily mean they are right or that they provide sound & accurate arguments . That's why I'm not a fan of debates, & prefer proper objective discussions.
You will never convince me that people in Japan don't eat high amounts of saturated fat. The Japanese eat high amounts of fish. A quick Google search shows that the Japanese eat about three ounces of fish per day. Fish contains saturated fat. So the statement of, The Japanese have almost zero fat in their diet, is horse shit.
Joe should put Dr Greger of Nutrition Facts. Or at least Roy Cronise, who might be more fashionable. But Greger is the guy to bring to defend the "whole foods, plant based diet".
Cholesterol repairs your artery walls from inflammation and everything modern people eat is inflammatory. To fix this one could either stop eating dietary cholesterol so there's less of it to repair your artery wall or you could stop eating all the foods which cause inflammation. Since it is easier for the average person to cut out cholesterol from the diet and delay death, this is what the guidelines advice. The correct approach is to stop eating foods which cause inflammation which is virtually anything that is non organic, anything that is processed, anything that is man made. This eliminates 99% of what people eat leaving just organic meat and organic seasonal fruit.
Joe rogan was so biased in this episode. When chris interrupts he's all for it but when joel reacts, he stops him. He stops Joel midway to let Chris talk but doesnt let Joel do any sort of rebuttal.

Vegetable oil is TRANS FAT! ITS FAKE FAT! its artificial(man made) it has hydrogenated bonds. It kills the good cholesterol HDL! Saturdad fat is good for you!!!
Vegetable oils aren't trans fat. Are you just joking or are you serious ? Vegetable oil will transform some of it into trans fat over smoke point, and only idiot will heat up vegetable over it's smoke point. Vegetable butter is high in trans fat so is processed palm oil. And you shouldn't eat that. Pork actually has the lowest saturated fat in most mammal. So it's a bit healthier. Saturated fat is definitely bad and raise bad cholesterol.
If you have so many opinions about this- maybe it is not the most important thing for stress. Connection is much more important. I wish people debated the best way of giving empathy.
One thing I will say is that every time this argument comes up about dietary/animal/saturated fat causing heart attacks or not - all the proponents of that hypothesis state “every health agency says this and these people live this long with low fat diets” but then the detractors from the hypothesis point to dozens of cited studies and thousands of articles and excerpts from studies. Seems like one side has a stronger case than the other.
A 7oz pork chop has almost double the saturated fat as the olive oil. So there’s the first lie I found. He could have said pork tenderloin and been correct.
I'm a fitness trainer of 25 years. One word: Adkins. High saturated fat diet, high cholesterol diet, low REFINED CARBOHYDRATES, low REFINED SUGARS = lower bad cholesterol, higher good cholesterol. Saturated fats and high cholesterol are only bad when you mix with refined carbs and sugars. No more than 20 grams of saturated fat per day (Even good Sat Fats), eat unrefined carbs and sugars for your energy level of the day, push your heart with cardiovascular aerobic exercise 5-6 days per week. Push your muscles with weight resistance of some kind 3-5 days per week. Period.
By the time this episode was over I was actually getting angry, and asking what in the world is their point ? So, its not conclusive that saturated fat causes heart disease according to studies Chris saw... The episode after this one was great and way more informative and interesting. Both of the guys on this episode here both started sounding idiotic by an hour in. rehashed themselves over and over and over for hours.
All nutrition boards recommend limiting saturated fat, dietary cholesterol, because they can't just say "limit meat intake". Why? Agriculture lobbies, beef and dairy check-off.
Gareth: the egg study he references over and over again was funded by a grant from the egg board. The study methodology is completely flawed. It did not control for the baseline cholesterol of the study participants. So here is what they did, they took a random sample of people (most of which are already eating the standard high cholesterol/high saturated fat diet), then they fed them eggs, and said "oh look, their cholesterol didn't raise!". Do you see the issue here? They took people on a high cholesterol diet, fed them more cholesterol, then claimed cholesterol from eggs had little to no impact. Dietary cholesterol has a ceiling on how much it effects serum cholesterol. i.e., it only raises serum cholesterol to a certain point and then curbs off. This is a sneaky research design that industry funded studies have been using for decades to hide the effects of animal products in studies.
I'm confused. Americans and Europeans have been eating butter, eggs, and cheese for millennia, but after WW2 suddenly everyone was having heart attacks and you point to butter, eggs, and cheese?
1. we live longer now than we did back then. ASCVD is a life long progressive disease that needs decades to result in heart attack or stroke 2. We now consume way more meat, dairy and butter than Americans in the 30s/40s/50s did. You can look up articles on this. Our intake of these products is way higher now than it was back then.
Sugar consumption has actually gone down in this country dude. Something Joe Rogan and his keto followers either don't know about or refuse to acknowledge. So if Sugar is down and diabetes and heart disease are still skyrocketing what's going on? www.businessinsider.com/chart-american-sugar-consumption-2012-2 It's still way too high, but our consumption of sugar is down in the last 2 decades.
My own study found that when I became metabolically healthy, my cholesterol improved in every category (expanded panel every 6 months) I focus on high protein high fat but not avoiding carbs or sweets completely, definitely not avoiding alcohol. But avoiding being a sedentary fat ass like it was the 1 risk factor
Drink water, get a purifier, eat grass fed meats and wild fish, avoid fast food/junk food, and exercise. You will likely be fine for the majority of your life
The study was flawed. They took people that ate a high fat high carb diet with lots of processed food and didn't blame the trans fat processed meat but just put the blame on saturated fat.

@@ObamanableSnowman There are a lot more observational studies against saturated fat and not many non-observational studies for it.
There are plenty of times where we observe people starting a diet high on saturated fat, for example, people from other countries moving here, increasing their saturated fat intake, and then having a higher risk of heart disease.
But we don't take into account what else they might be eating.
If you have heart problems, the doctor is going to tell you to lay off the saturated fat. But you are also going to stop eating like crap, in general. Stop drinking soda, eating sugary snacks, etc.
There are plenty of countries, like France, who have diets that are high in fat, but they don't eat the amount of processed carbs that we do. And they don't have heart problems.
That's the crux of everything. Whether you are vegan or not, the sheer amount of processed carbs Americans eat is what is causing their heart problems. Not Saturated fat. We've been eating saturated fat for millenia.
@@Denny-Thray I have read tons and tons of expert doctors and researchers opin that saturated fat intake is associated with higher LDL and higher risk of these diseases.

I personally use a oil rich in saturated fat, and in the past I used to think like you because of this specific interview and tons of others, my cholesterol has been in tipping point of unhealthy for quite a while now, probably because of this.

I have high cholesterol and eat lots of saturated fat yet I have had multiple coronary artery calcium scans over the last few years that have scored zero which means I have zero buildup/blockage in my coronary arteries, so no heart disease. As the first guy pointed out we didn't see lot of heart attacks in the early 20th century but we did start seeing them increase exponentially in the later 20th century. Why? It wasn't because more people were eating more saturated fat. It was the opposite. More people were eating less saturated fat and more processed sugar laden foods. It's not the cholesterol and saturated fat that causes heart disease it's the sugar and junk carbs.
Exactly, and not only the processed sugars also seed oils that were marketed as “heart healthy”.
Well said!
Saturated fat and calorie consumption in general was lower before WW2. During the post war boom, meat and dairy consumption increased greatly. Ancel Keys' tipoff to the causal role fat played was that heart disease decreased during rationing, when meat and dairy were very restricted.
Not everyone is as susceptible to increased LDL from dietary sources. There are plenty of anecdotes of long lived people who ate a decent amount of saturated fat. That doesn't change the clear trends preset when we analyze diets for entire populations. And of course, there are RCTs at this point that controlled for diet directly.
You are right that refined carbs are a risk factor for heart disease. However, they're just as bad as saturated fat. No health guidelines recommend replacing sat fat for refined carbs. A lot of people might do that, but that's not a failure of the lipid hypothesis. It's that most people are terrible at feeding themselves.

So if vegans have the lowest cholesterol, assuming cholesterol was bad, then that would be a good thing.. Except cholesterol isn't bad.. Refined sugars and carbs raise insulin and cause inflammation, so the body increases its production of cholesterol as a bandage. So in this case, higher cholesterol is TELLING US there is inflammation, but at the same time, it's helping us combat it. But what do the doctors do? Give you statins to prevent you from producing the cholesterol.. So yes your blood cholesterol is lowered, but you just got rid of your bandage against inflammation, and the damage the insulin is doing plus the inflammation is still there! Now vegans have low cholesterol NOT BECAUSE THEY HAVE LOW INFLAMMATION, they don't eat any animal products so the body has a tough time producing enough cholesterol.

My friend's grandma died after suffering a massive hemorrhagic stroke at 87 in 2007.
Or maybe, just maaybe, it is the amount of food/fats/sugars we eat. People are overconsuming as hell, they did not have that option a few decades before.
Up until the industrial revolution and before we could ship fruits around the globe, the majority of the world was in ketosis for 9-10 months of the year. Cholesterol is not a factor unless there is a pre-existing nutrient deficiency, typically Vitamin C. This deficiency in our American society is typically caused by excessive blood insulin, which in turn is related to excessive carbohydrate ingestion.
Dietary cholesterol (that which comes from the foods you eat) only accounts for 20-25% of the cholesterol your liver makes each and every day. These knuckle heads are arguing over something which is not significant. Well...one is arguing. The body needs lots of cholesterol. Your nerve myelin sheaths, brain cells, sex organs, hormones, thyroid T4-T3 conversion and a bunch of other processes require cholesterol production.
Seeing cholesterol build up in blood vessels is a sign that something else is going wrong in the vascular and arterial walls (lesions). have you noticed that cholesterol is only a topic at issue with regard to heart and vascular health? Why is that?
Do you think the human body uses cholesterol and saturated fats well for all other systems and then somehow f***s up with regard to this singular system?? Think about it, the rise in heart attacks coincides with the rise in dietary sugars. We didn’t have the availability of year round processed grains and processed sugars and fruits until the last 120 years or thereabouts.
Lipoproteins carry BOTH cholesterol and triglycerides. The folks with heart disease also almost always have chronically elevated insulin levels.
We are only looking at fats as causative because Ancel Keyes was a dumbass lying manipulative bastard looking to falsely promote his own backward ideas.
There is only one blue zone which doesn’t consume animal products. The rest eat fatty fish and oils and animals. What they don’t eat is sugar and crappy processed oils. It’s the processed foods and all the sugars and stripped grains which cause the problems.
Our grains are absolute shit. We strip the grain and eliminate all of the B vitamins. The liver can’t cope with processing carbs in the absence of B vitamins. This is why Asia now has to contend with increased levels of Beriberi (B1 deficiency induced disease)
Want to heal your heart? Eat fats. Up your vitamin C intake without stimulating an insulin response. Insulin blocks uptake of Vitamin C. Vascular walls require elasticity and collagen like cells. These come from Vitamin C and certain amino acids as building blocks. The cholesterol will only cause a problem if there is a lesion to repair. If the arterial and vascular walls are healthy then the intelligent body systems won’t need to deposit cholesterol to patch the lesions.
This is not rocket surgery.
It’s time to get rid of the cholesterol-is-dangerous model. We have had the low fat/high carb idiots running our SAD guidelines since the 1970’s and during that same time we have seen DRASTIC rises in heart disease, cancer, diabetes. These chronic diseases all share the same root cause - Lactic acidosis due to excessive carbohydrate metabolism. This mechanism merely manifests differently in different persons. Root cause is identical.
1. Keto
2. Fasting
3. Micronutrient increase
4. Burst exercise training
5. Gut repair
That’s how you repair blood vessel damage
That’s how you reverse diabetes
That’s how you begin to address cancer
Very based
How do you increase vitamin C without an insulin response? Certain vegetables? I know fruits have lots of vitamin C but they all have sugar...but it’s natural sugar. Thanks for the summary!!!

I have genetic high cholesterol, born with it and in my family. My grandfather had his first heart transplant when he was only 45. When I was 18 I had arteries that were “clogged” in the 99 percentile to the point that they were those of a 40 year. After taking medication and reducing cholesterol and saturated fat in my diet (I am vegetarian now, say what you want about that) my arteries have cleaning out to the 50 percentile and that of a mid 20 year old. This was only 4 years.

Always take baseline cholesterol levels into account when studying the effects of dietary saturated fat and cholesterol.
They dont, cause if they do, it is clear that if you have healthy baseline levels , or if you have low dietary levels, your cholesterol shoots up ( www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1534437 , meta analysis and review)
@@nunoschumacher6028 I noticed that too. I have also read into the study more and found it interesting that the people they used in the analysis already had high levels of cholesterol before the study. If you give an egg to someone who already has high cholesterol, of course their numbers won't go up significantly - put a twig on a bonfire and see if it makes a difference. But if you give an egg to someone who is living a whole foods plant based diet void of any amount of animal proteins, then their cholesterol shoots up.
Exactly
@@TheBeardedSandman Look up the elderly gentlemen who eat 35-30 eggs a day long term - no cardiovascular issues... perhaps it isn't as simple as "cholesterol bad mkay" the brain, mothers milk, our lipid cells etc - all cholesterol
@@theboraxbandit9563 I really think I made that comment more than 2 months ago... my opinion on the matter has been shifting quite a lot.
First, I really don't think the cholesterol we eat correlates to high cholesterol in the blood. It's only a small percentage of dietary cholesterol that actually gets metabolized into the body anyway, so the cholesterol in eggs doesn't really do much.
The second argument is about saturated fat and it's effect on cholesterol. While I do believe eggs increase cholesterol in the blood due to saturated fat metabolism in the liver, most of that cholesterol is actually HDL, not LDL. If anything, eggs are good for your heart depending on how you cook them.
Lastly, there was a study on monkeys a while back - they fed monkeys pure cholesterol and within weeks they were all having heart attacks, but then they looked at the quality of the cholesterol and found that most of it had oxidized. When they fed the monkeys non-oxidized cholesterol, all the heart attacks stopped. Looks like the quality of the food you eat and how you prepare said food matters just as much as what the food actually is.
There's so much more that goes into this. But no, I don't think eggs are America's heart disease problem. Refined grains, processed foods, sedentary lifestyle; these are the true causes.
The rate of heart attacks begins to rise in 1948. What changed about the american diet? Did people all of the sudden start eating meat and butter? Im pretty sure that had been going on forever. So what did change? Pretty sure people started eating a lot more sugar
Smoking went up a lot
Eating meat is surely correlated with getting richer, which happened after WW2.
But of course it is multifactorial.

@Christopher Har V mate, you gotta question causation. Atherosclerosis causes thrombolitic plaquing in forms of cholesterol trying to repair the damage, doesn't mean that cholesterol is the criminal in heart disease.. i mean look at the eskimos and hunter-gatherers.
The thing is that Ancel started with 28 countries but crossed out 19 of them to come to his conclusions because they were not in line with his hypothesis... I view it kind of like seratonin for depression. The reason suicide is listed as a side-effect of antidepressants is because different levels of seratonin show up in different mental diseases and someone not having a reuptake issue could easily be depressed. Yet so far we didnt find a better explanation so we went like ok this seems the most legitimate mechanism of action. I mean eggs contributing to atherosclerosis was "proven" by feeding rabbits (a herbivore) eggs. Cereal companies enjoy and fund such researches, and high carb foods like pasta are cheap to produce, durable and a good business model

See the results. Switch again tho the next diet for 6 weeks. Do the blood work and see what is said. Evaluate how you feel after both diets- tired, no energy, constipation, etc… whichever feels better- keep going with that one! Do the study on yourself first!
@Dimi F Now that's an actual answer that I can agree with. Not like Professor Dingleberry that posted his "Wrong " comment.
The only diet that's used as an intervention for heart disease, successfully I might add, is a WFPB diet with little fat. I am not suggesting it's the healthiest diet since it's an intervention for extreme cases, but there are no clinics using low carb diets as interventions for heart disease. Not a single one.
Well, there is one thing all nutritionists can agree on: too much sugar is bad for you.
The doctor said that heart attacks became an issue in the 1940s or at skyrocketed but were people eating earlier than 1940 were dating less meat eggs cheese and butter?
Fact Check at 5:32. The claim that two tablespoons of olive oil contains more saturated fat than a 7oz pork chop - Not true. Two tablespoons of olive oil contains 3.8g of saturated fat and a 7oz (198g) pork chop contains 8.5g of saturated fat. Pork chop (even a small 7oz one), has double the saturated fat of two tablespoons of olive oil. This is "a little-known fact" because it's total BS. - Besides, who eats Two tablespoons of olive oil in the first place - a bad comparison.
Bro please please please read the meta analysis. Consumed saturated fats directly correlates to serum cholesterol levels. Of course the body needs saturated fats but it is grossly over consumed in most American’s diets
You are reading the meta wrong... people who eat a lot of saturated fat in the US also eat a lot of sugar... Sugar is and was always the problem, not fat.
Ju Berry I need a straight up answer I usually eat eggs, ham sandwich’s with cheese,chicken and drink nothin but water... am I goin to die?
Ju Berry Red Herring. I’m not defending sugar. It’s clear that saturated fats lead to higher cholesterol levels. The problem is that crooked doctors fight against the notion that saturated fat does correlate to cholesterol by taking a sample of people who already consume ridiculous amounts of saturated fat so if you increase it, they show little to no change. BUT if you control for base levels of cholesterol it does indicate a correlation between consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol. We’re referencing different research

What they aren't including in this discussion that I personally believe weighs very heavy on the amount of heart attacks and cholesterol, etc, etc, etc. is SMOKING AND STRESS. The speaker just glossed over the smoking contribution. Heavy saturated fat eaters coupled with smoking and stress. Men were dropping dead from smoking and stress. Okay so he admits smoking might effect it.
Excellent point.
2tbsp of olive oil has 4g of saturated fat compared to a 7oz pork chop has 10g…
The anti-saturated fats guy completely ignores two major early studies showing that substituting supposedly heart-healthy polyunsaturated fats for saturated fats provided no identifiable benefit in cardiovascular event reduction. Those were the Minnesota Coronary Experiment and the Sydney Heart Study. Both studies were large-scale, long-term, randomized control trials. Both came to the same conclusion that polyunsaturated fats, primarily vegetable oils, provided no benefit. Both occurred in the 1960s and 1970s. The researchers suppressed the results of both tests and hid them from public knowledge for about 50 years. They refused to publish the results of the tests because the results proved their saturated fat hypothesis to be wrong.
What the guy in black doesn't acknowledge is that excessive carbohydrates oxidize LDL and help create Lipoprotein(a), preventing the recycling of LDL by the liver. Lipoprotein(a) is readily absorbed into the blood vessel lining, where macrophages soak up the molecules, creating the white foam that puts pressure on the cell wall and leads to calcification of the arteries.

Saturated fat is whole natural food, isn’t it
@@chriswachiralappaitoon6610 Yes
@Raimonster what lol
No. The saturated fat bad side is fundamentallly flawed in its conclusion
From Garth Davis, MD:
Let’s start with the statement that there is no evidence that dietary cholesterol affects cholesterol. Wrong! It is true that most of our cholesterol is synthesized, only about 20-30% comes from diet. Also true that there is down regulation in synthesis with increased consumption. So we absorb about 60% of consumed cholesterol BUT this number may be lower if you are a high consumer and higher if you are a low consumer, which is why vegans will see a dramatic rise in cholesterol if they start eating it. That being said, ward studies show a very definitive increase in cholesterol with eating cholesterol. The prospective ward studies show an increase of 2-2.5 mg/dL per 100 mg of cholesterol. So he is clearly wrong. This effect is much lower than saturated fats effect on cholesterol. In fact, studies Kresser will cite to show dietary cholesterol won’t increase serum cholesterol were studies that increased dietary cholesterol BUT decreased saturated fat. A sneaky way to publish a study saying dietary cholesterol doesn’t increase serum cholesterol.
Now the statement that higher cholesterol doesn’t affect mortality is UTTERLY wrong. I mean, c’mon!!! You could write a book on this, and many have been written. Hundreds of studies. This is why we have cholesterol lowering drugs. I can list so many studies here but let’s go with this recent excellent prospective study on people with low risk followed 10 yrs. www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.118.034273
Now, the statement that there is “no” evidence that saturated fat increases your risk of mortality is beyond ridiculous. None? Really? Studies clearly show that reducing saturated fat by switching to monounsaturated fat significantly reduces risk of cardiac event. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/9366580/. Likewise, shifting saturated fat to polyunsaturated fat greatly decreases coronary events. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/20351774/. Even replacing saturated fat with whole grains will reduce heart disease, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5492032/. This review showed that replacing saturated fat with carbs didn’t decrease heart disease but DOES decrease risk of death. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/29174025/. Much of the issue may have to do with the food as a whole rather than just looking at saturated fat. Certainly saturated fat coming from meat is more tied to mortality www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3966685/.
Now it is vital to understand that there is data that suggests that saturated fat has no effect on cardiac events. How can there be such discrepancy. The main study that demonstrated this, and the most referenced study on the topic is this: scholar.google.com/scholar?q=saturated+fat+and+cardiovascular+mortality+scholarly&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart#d=gs_qabs&p=&u=%23p%3DthFOEITShzoJ. I suggest you look at where the funding came from for this study.
Now let me explain to you the trick in this study. They were looking to show that saturated fat did not affect heart disease. So, they wanted to eliminate all confounding factors that can contribute independently to heart disease. In doing so, they controlled for cholesterol. The problem here is the fact that saturated fat, in part, contributes to heart disease by increasing cholesterol. So basically they are removing the key pathological step. What is left are people who are not as affected by saturated fat. This is called over adjustment. Dr. Stamler provided excellent critique of this article in NEJM academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/91/3/497/4597072.
Bottom line is that the literature certainly suggests cutting back on saturated fat is good for your heart. We know that the Ornish program and Dr. Esselstyn’s program cut saturated fat tremendously and actually reverse heart disease. jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/188274
I can go on forever but let’s get to longevity, because at some point I have to get back to my day job. So let’s go to the question of who lives longer. This is a tough one. Very hard to compare life long vegetarians and lifelong omnivores. So many variables.
The EPIC Oxford trial attempted to compare vegetarians, vegans, and meat eaters. Of note, the meat eaters were low level meat eaters and controlled to be moderate veggie consumers. In other words, the meat eating control was healthier than your average omnivore in England, as evidence by lower mortality rates compared to their compatriots. There was in fact a mortality difference though small. Recently the authors did a much larger review, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4691673/#!po=40.4110. This exhaustive review showed vegetarians had much lower pancreas and blood cancer but all cause mortality was not lower. How could this be? Well they explain in their discussion that their results are different to the Adventist Health study and this may be because of differences in diet quality between the Adventist Health and the Epic group. This is CRUCIAL to understand. The Adventist Health Study May be the best population to study for several reasons. First off, the population is very similar. They live in the same area, they practice generally healthy lifestyle, yet they are genetically different. Many thousands have been placed in their database and followed for many years.
The authors of the epic study note that one deficit in their study is the fact that there was not a large difference between their meat eaters, and even their high meat eaters were not eating a lot of meat compared to US meat intake. This is important. If you are doing a study looking at 2 groups but they don’t differ much with regards to the variable being measured then you won’t see big differences. In fact, the Adventist group had much larger differences between groups. Also, the Epic vegetarians and vegans were not very healthy eaters. In several studies this group was found to eat about the same amount of fiber, a measly 20 gm, as the meat eaters. Several studies showed that many did not supplement B12 or did not get at least 500mg of calcium. The Adventist group did better in these regards, though still not to the diet I recommend.
The Adventist Health Study shows a clear longevity advantage www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/10479225/, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/23836264/. These are excellent well controlled studies.
An excellent Meta-Analysis was done on vegetarians and mortality and it showed a definite benefit to cardiovascular mortality and lower cancer incidence. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/22677895/.
Of course, there have not been that many studies on vegetarians and longevity because there are not that many vegetarians. The literature, however, is rich with studies showing that lower meat consumption is associated with lower all cause mortality. I list many in my book but this is perhaps the best review: academic.oup.com/aje/article/179/3/282/103471

As my wife has a PhD in Statistics I feel comfortable reminding people that correlation is not causation. They picked saturated fat and tried to prove it was correlated. They didn't bother to figure out if it was actually doing anything or of anything else was related.
How about they try using the word OVERCONSUMPTION? This word is downplayed to the point where "authorities" within a subject use it as a invisible catalyst to carry an idea. However it's importance could be the central thesis of the arguement. There are other countries that have access and consume the same types of high fatty or processed foods that we have. But why are their obesity levels, heart disease levels, and heart attack risks so low in comparison to ours? Because America consumes up to 5x the amount of something that the rest of the world does, Britain is EVEN MORE! They brought up Japan alot, arguably the healthiest country in the world, but failed to mention their portion sizes and consumption rates compared to ours. We over consume almost everything that doesnt have a warning label and even then still fuck it up with the massive pharmaceutical OD death statistics rising and alot of them are accidental. So you put NO WARNING on overconsumption for alcohol, fast food, or processed food, and then consume 5x the amount required for energy and nutrition, then act surprised when your cells call it quits after being redlined everyday for 15 years? Try putting a 63 Octane rated fuel in your car and then drive everyday carrying maximum load, and scratch your head when the engine says FUCK YOU and seizes.

No, Chris was using flawed studies that amount to junk science. He refereed to a study that did not account for baseline cholesterol. The affect is not linear.

At 5:20 he says “ to deny the problem with saturated fat is to throw out every major health organization in the world”. My answer? I CANT WAIT TO THROW OUT EVERY MAJOR HEALTH ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD!
The French eat more saturated fat than any other country in Europe, yet it has the LOWEST heart disease. Ukraine eats the least amount of such fats, yet it has the highest rate of heart disease.
I went vegan after two successive yearly blood tests showing upward trending cholesterol and blood sugar. After one year vegan on a whole foods plant based diet, all markers dropped back into healthy range. Lost 12 kilos and my cardio fitness and general energy levels have increased dramatically. Before this change of diet I was consuming a predominantly Mediterranean diet and thought vegans were loopy. Having made the change the only regret I have now is not doing it earlier.
I would agree that short term vegan diets are cleansing... but don't fool yourself thinking you can stay vegan long term. You will starve. Plants are cleansing and medicine, and meat is building and nourishing.

He scooped up cholesterol.
Citing studies that don't account for baseline cholesterol is junk science.
You can tell how irritated Joe got at 00:09 when Joel dropped his sarcastic comment
He never scooped sugar out of a blocked artery. Dumb statement. Eating sugar and other carbohydrates raises triglycerides and lowers HDL. It also causes dysfunctional alterations in LDL molecules. LDL levels may seem normal, but this dysfunctional LDL can cause rapid clogging of arteries and increased risk for thrombosis.
That was realy dumb.
It's crazy how we don't know what's good or not nowadays. A couple of years ago fat was bad, vegetables were good, and meat affected your body negatively. I'm just gonna eat and consume things that don't personally make me feel bad.
Its fake scientists getting a platform. The top guys haven't changed their recommendations.
Follow the money. Just look at all the Paleo related junk Kresser is trying to sell on his website, and check his medical credentials, what does this tell you!?
Do yourself a favor and look up the papers Kresser's cites, not his blog. A good example of the egg study. That study contradicts his view on saturated fat and cholesterol, but he cites the sentence on egg intake and cholesterol. Not only that, the folks in that study already had high cholesterol. He is cherry picking studies and in some cases, cherry picking sentences in the studies, and there are many contradictions when you look at his sources.

PLS BRING ON DR MICHAEL GREGOR
Hahaha, this bro science podcast is beneath the integrity standards of Dr Greger. Dr Kahn is too good for this clown show.
Animal products are higher in LDL fat which is the bad cholesterol. The problem is that crooked doctors fight against the notion that saturated fat does correlate to cholesterol by taking a sample of people who already consume ridiculous amounts of saturated fat so if you increase it, they show little to no change. BUT if you control for base levels of cholesterol it does indicate a correlation between consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol.
You beat me to it, I was gonna say the same thing.
Is there a correlation with the highly toxic PUFAs?
Matthew Porter www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/9006469/ 395 tightly controlled dietary interventions in metabolic wards proving saturated fat and cholesterol both raise serum cholesterol the main risk factor for atherosclerosis www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/16554528/
According to Dr. Rhonda Patrick who is a very reliable Doctor and scientist says diet does not effect LDL cholesterol levels in the blood. She goes very deep into it and explains it very well on her RECENT studies. Recent as in within the last few years. Look into her hour long plus lectures and podcasts with other scientists and doctors on her RUclips channel called 'Found My Fitness'.
This Vegan doctor Joel is basing most of his research on research that was done in the 90s, 70s, and the 50s! Science progresses over time and changes from studies that are done and with new technology that becomes available.
Matthew Porter what would you tell a smoker if he said “I’m skeptical but even if it’s true I don’t care if cigarettes increase my risk of lung cancer, cigarettes make me feel great and and not smoking them makes me feel like shit”
Not sure what Chris is talking about Olive oil has mostly Monounsaturated fat in it. Also different types of saturated fats (there's mainly 3 different types we attain from diet, Lauric, Palmitic and Stearic acid) have different effects on health.
Just further proof that Joe Rogan’s podcast is the greatest podcast ever created...and it’s not even close. What other podcasts give you this amount of insightfulness, variety, and civil, profound debate? Real talk 💯
Agreed. I appreciate hearing people debate about the issue instead of making a single video about either end of the spectrum.
but still confused should i eat butter or not tell me ???
I agree completely
Gov is itching to shut it down
Rogan only had this podcast after he got called out on Twitter for being extremely 1 sided in favor of keto/carnivore lol
My father would eat a big greasy bacon sandwich every morning then go to Mcdonald’s everyday get a fish fillet large fries and a Big Mac and for dinner a large pizza pie extra cheese and giant calzone and he lived to the ripe old age of 42 i thought that was pretty good
Scott DuPont no smoking drugs or alcohol sugar wasn’t his thing notice nothing sweet on his menu just lots of saturated fat he was a cyclist and swimmer doctors said poor diet was the cause
Scott DuPont Carbohydrates consist of starches, sugar and fibre. Wheat contains basically 0 sugar and a lot of fiber. So your statement that flour is 70% sugar is wrong.
There's tons of carbs and Trans fats in your aforementioned diet. Which today are considered the root causes of inflammation and auto immune disease, according to the leading science of today.
@@triger1 well, technically all carbs(simple as well as complex) are chains of sugar molecules but no food or macro group is bad for you unless u exceed your caloric goals..but the thing is, saturated fat foods actually keep u satiated for a much longer time than carb rich foods expect potato which is also not actually bad within caloric limits..
So basically he ate cheap, highly processed foods without a lot of nutrition, his meat and cheese likely came from grain fed cows, and he got lots of trans fats and carbs - and yet you blame it on the saturated fats. This is one of the problems, to look at ONE FACTOR RETROSPECTIVELY and imply that that must have been the problem and cause. Sorry, this is not reliable or helpful information and actually doesn't say anything about how much saturated fats or any other factor contributed to his premature death.
Feel like the guy on the right was more objective and impartial. While the guy on the left had a conclusion he needed to defend.
I've just been cutting processed foods and cutting out seed oils...
The reduction of seed oils via deep fried food and only cooking with coconut oil has made a bigger difference on how I feel than anything I've tried.
Keto would probably be a better move but I've tried it but can't stick to it
Coconut oil is horrible, it has an insane amount of saturated fat.
@@PeaShooter1997 saturated fat is fine in the absence of carbohydrates.
The evidence shows that we should swap out saturated fat with unsaturated fat. You have done the opposite...
@@chris-nj3vg That is based on studies where they did not correct for carb intake. Saturated fats on their own will cause you to gain weight or clog arteries
No one said cholesterol is actually a protective antioxidant. Oxidation via high blood sugar seems to be the key mechanism for atherosclerosis.
I would be really curious to see a study comparing low carb diets to moderate/high carb diets BUT with one group consuming mostly processed and simple carbs (packaged and boxed snacks, high sugar cereals etc) and the other group consuming complex and natural carbs. Or at least have more studies when comparing low carb diets to diets who are eating carbs but only complex ones (i.e. sweet potatoes, quinoa, sprouted no sugar added breads etc.) because I wonder if when they are using individuals who eat carbs that are filthy carbohydrates and loaded with weird oils, sugars and stuff like de-caking agents and other weird chemicals that we shouldn't be eating to make the product look, feel, or smell a certain way that naturally wouldn't be so. I think there would be a huge difference in results.
If kcal are equated there wont be a difference in weight loss, will be some other differences in other health markers over time
Look up Kevin Hall. He did such studies.
This is very important and easy to miss!!! Kresser brings up two meta-analyses at 7:05, which Kahn fails to strongly rebut UNTIL 19:55. It's obvious that Kahn had responses but didn't immediately realize which studies Kresser was referring to (since he doesn't reference authors). Also, Kresser never responds to Kahn's points, indicating that he may have missed the fact that he was addressing the two meta-analyses he brought up as evidence! If you don't connect those dots, you'd be left thinking Kresser's 1-2 punch was KO, but those studies were widely criticized as Kahn touches on.
Weird how he was at 7:05 as I read your comment.
Yeah let's have a cardiologist debate a journalist lol
Doctor's and any "degree" literally only spend a small amount of time on nutrition.
Joe seems very partial in this debate, he fails as a debate host because he not objective......The last question asking about 50 year old study, when he just spend the last 5 minutes talking about a study from 2008.....Like Joe but in this instance the act idiotic, he clearly didnt listen to the guy, just waited to attack his argument, without listening to his argument. Stay objective or you just pollute the water, let the experts debate.
If experts CAN NOT agree on how/what to eat, how the hell are the common folks supposed to know what to do???
Go with the science. The science of nutrition is physiology. Foods that are used in metabolic pathways. Brian Peskin is highly recommended.
Find the things they agree on. They all agree that too much sugar is bad.
Dr Ronda Patrick covered this in much better detail, they're missing the huge component of gut health and endotoxin entering the blood stream causing heart disease.
As Dr. Kahn said, the first major study to suggest high fat intake was related to heart disease was Ancel Keys "Seven Country Study". What he failed to mention was that it was originally a 22 country study, but threw out the 2/3rds of the countries that didn't fit his hypothesis, including France, which has some of the highest fat intake in the world but also the lowest cardiac death rate. Pate, foie gras? They don't even use olive oil, they use butter. Read about this ridiculous study and it's early and current criticisms here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Countries_Study . Furthermore, big pharma spent over $100 M on research regarding lowering cholesterol and came up with nothing so they fudged the stats and used "Relative Risk" instead of "Absolute Risk" to amplify a 1% difference between placebo and cholesterol-lowering drugs to over 33%. I LOL with a commercial I saw last night for the triglyceride-lowering drug Vascepa. At 0:16 it literally states "It is not known if Vascepa reduces your risk of having an inflamed pancreas, a heart attack or a stroke." ? LOL! Watch it here: ruclips.net/video/6Ujrm--bbVc/видео.html . So WTF would you be taking it for? People, I'm a physician. Go low carb, learn how to keep your pelvis in a neutral position to avoid spine problems, exercise at least 2-3 a week, sleep 7-8 hours a night, and keep good relations with your family and you will live into your 100s with little need to see me or my colleagues.
yeah i still do like my grandparent, i use shitload of butter, duck or pork fat, and stopped using vegetable oils !
and i feel great btw !
Also i drink probably 1 bottle of wine per day average, my BP is around 110/65, which is in the ideal range
forgot to add that i'm a smoker....
I love how you actually referenced your sources. I think back to the late Jack LaLanne, the godfather of modern fitness. He lived to 96 years old and survived on a diet high in raw vegetables, fruits, fish, eggs, some oatmeal, bone broth, and a glass of wine every night. He didn't eat any refined carbs or proceeded meats and he exercised every day. Frank Zane who is almost in his 80s eats a diet high in lean animal protein, high in olive oil, low in carbs, and no processed foods. He still works out every day and to my knowledge has no heart disease. To me, this is pretty clear evidence that a whole foods diet with unprocessed meats and ZERO refined carbs is the way to go.
Commenting to be able to find this thread again.
The guy on the left cites studies when smoking was 'healthy'.
What does the cigarette studies have to do with the food studies? This just a way to dismiss Khan's points because you don't like what he said?
@@Aria-Invictus His point is that science has evolved a fuck ton since the 50s. Newer, much more precise, detailed, and more numerous studies have shown radically different results than what was found in the 50s.
Dude on the left makes mostly observational and emotional points. The guy on the right only sites the most recent and accepted research. What's so hard to understand about that?

I can't take Kresser seriously ever since he was destroyed in a debate by ex UFC fighter James Wilks! how on earth are you supposed to take him seriously while debating an actual surgeon???
Just cause he lost one debate (if he even did, I havent watched that debate yet) doesn't mean he's wrong on everything. It also doesn't mean you can dismiss his arguments. They seem pretty solid, and even if you don't trust him, the studies he references should speak for themselves
I agree! Kresser can't even read a forest plot. He knows so little about health and nutrition and is not qualified to give diet advice. He is not a nutritionist, a doctor, or an expert in the health field.
@@TheRealmusic18 argument from authority
"winning" a debate is nothing more an indication of one's abilities to debate. It doesn't necessarily mean they are right or that they provide sound & accurate arguments . That's why I'm not a fan of debates, & prefer proper objective discussions.
Kresser didn't lose the debate. The other guy was just a better bullshitter.
You will never convince me that people in Japan don't eat high amounts of saturated fat. The Japanese eat high amounts of fish. A quick Google search shows that the Japanese eat about three ounces of fish per day. Fish contains saturated fat. So the statement of, The Japanese have almost zero fat in their diet, is horse shit.
Nailed it
Consensus is not science, it's politics.

Nautilus1972 calm down douche 😂
Joe should put Dr Greger of Nutrition Facts. Or at least Roy Cronise, who might be more fashionable. But Greger is the guy to bring to defend the "whole foods, plant based diet".
Cholesterol repairs your artery walls from inflammation and everything modern people eat is inflammatory. To fix this one could either stop eating dietary cholesterol so there's less of it to repair your artery wall or you could stop eating all the foods which cause inflammation. Since it is easier for the average person to cut out cholesterol from the diet and delay death, this is what the guidelines advice. The correct approach is to stop eating foods which cause inflammation which is virtually anything that is non organic, anything that is processed, anything that is man made. This eliminates 99% of what people eat leaving just organic meat and organic seasonal fruit.
Joe rogan was so biased in this episode. When chris interrupts he's all for it but when joel reacts, he stops him. He stops Joel midway to let Chris talk but doesnt let Joel do any sort of rebuttal.
This guy is a doctor? It is known well known that sugar and refined carbs ALSO turn into cholesterol.

Doctors aren't nutritionists nor scientists, they treat symptoms. They don't know how the fuck most stuff works considering they're reading ages old dossiers on a million different things.
They just started having blood pressure meds my parents said back than you couldn’t afford it you had to suffer
Comparing refined oil to a pork chop is ridiculous. Cherry picking facts to benefit a narrative. Refined oils are bad, too.
Hahahahaha I thought this was retarded as well
All vegetables oils are bad.
He's comparing them b/c most vegans would pour on the olive oil on their plant-based meals. So yeah, it's relevant.
Vegetable oil is TRANS FAT! ITS FAKE FAT! its artificial(man made) it has hydrogenated bonds. It kills the good cholesterol HDL! Saturdad fat is good for you!!!
Vegetable oils aren't trans fat. Are you just joking or are you serious ?
Vegetable oil will transform some of it into trans fat over smoke point, and only idiot will heat up vegetable over it's smoke point.
Vegetable butter is high in trans fat so is processed palm oil. And you shouldn't eat that.
Pork actually has the lowest saturated fat in most mammal. So it's a bit healthier.
Saturated fat is definitely bad and raise bad cholesterol.
If you have so many opinions about this- maybe it is not the most important thing for stress. Connection is much more important. I wish people debated the best way of giving empathy.

@@Aria-Invictus Yup he is catching up since he was a vegan a while ago, it takes time.
Wahid Khuram Nah. He is getting slower.
One thing I will say is that every time this argument comes up about dietary/animal/saturated fat causing heart attacks or not - all the proponents of that hypothesis state “every health agency says this and these people live this long with low fat diets” but then the detractors from the hypothesis point to dozens of cited studies and thousands of articles and excerpts from studies. Seems like one side has a stronger case than the other.
A 7oz pork chop has almost double the saturated fat as the olive oil. So there’s the first lie I found. He could have said pork tenderloin and been correct.
He also singled out the absolute fattiest fish, mackerel, as opposed to virtually all other fish which barely have any saturated fat. What a tool.
I'm a fitness trainer of 25 years. One word: Adkins. High saturated fat diet, high cholesterol diet, low REFINED CARBOHYDRATES, low REFINED SUGARS = lower bad cholesterol, higher good cholesterol. Saturated fats and high cholesterol are only bad when you mix with refined carbs and sugars. No more than 20 grams of saturated fat per day (Even good Sat Fats), eat unrefined carbs and sugars for your energy level of the day, push your heart with cardiovascular aerobic exercise 5-6 days per week. Push your muscles with weight resistance of some kind 3-5 days per week. Period.
By the time this episode was over I was actually getting angry, and asking what in the world is their point ? So, its not conclusive that saturated fat causes heart disease according to studies Chris saw... The episode after this one was great and way more informative and interesting. Both of the guys on this episode here both started sounding idiotic by an hour in. rehashed themselves over and over and over for hours.
which episode is the one you thought is more informative and interesting?
13:34 i never scooped sugar out of blocked artery, i scooped cholesterol,,this is super dumb argument
Thanks Mark! Up until now, I had foolishly believed what the cardiologists were saying about clogged arteries. Silly me!
Indeed, a doctor that doesn't know that empty, unburned calories transform to fat in the boody? wtf
This Kahn guy never awnsers a single question, he talks just like a politician.
All nutrition boards recommend limiting saturated fat, dietary cholesterol, because they can't just say "limit meat intake". Why? Agriculture lobbies, beef and dairy check-off.
No because junk food like potato chips, nachos, and other crap are the main problem. Carbs with high amounts of fat.
@@EbonyPope then that's no carbs per se, but fat, salt, and too much.
Anyone one else baffled that NEITHER guy bring up quantities of food?
Chris Kresser cites flawed studies as usual
Fuck off vegan
"fuck off vegan", clearly you need to get off that dairy bro, all those hormones and bovine estrogen are making you emotional
Care to state why they are flawed and provide examples?
Gareth: the egg study he references over and over again was funded by a grant from the egg board. The study methodology is completely flawed. It did not control for the baseline cholesterol of the study participants. So here is what they did, they took a random sample of people (most of which are already eating the standard high cholesterol/high saturated fat diet), then they fed them eggs, and said "oh look, their cholesterol didn't raise!". Do you see the issue here? They took people on a high cholesterol diet, fed them more cholesterol, then claimed cholesterol from eggs had little to no impact. Dietary cholesterol has a ceiling on how much it effects serum cholesterol. i.e., it only raises serum cholesterol to a certain point and then curbs off. This is a sneaky research design that industry funded studies have been using for decades to hide the effects of animal products in studies.
Gareth David he used egg industry funded studies when talking about cholesterol
I'm confused. Americans and Europeans have been eating butter, eggs, and cheese for millennia, but after WW2 suddenly everyone was having heart attacks and you point to butter, eggs, and cheese?
Can I get a summary?
Because people lived to 60 back then if lucky
1. we live longer now than we did back then. ASCVD is a life long progressive disease that needs decades to result in heart attack or stroke
2. We now consume way more meat, dairy and butter than Americans in the 30s/40s/50s did. You can look up articles on this. Our intake of these products is way higher now than it was back then.
Sugar consumption has actually gone down in this country dude. Something Joe Rogan and his keto followers either don't know about or refuse to acknowledge. So if Sugar is down and diabetes and heart disease are still skyrocketing what's going on?
www.businessinsider.com/chart-american-sugar-consumption-2012-2
It's still way too high, but our consumption of sugar is down in the last 2 decades.
It must be that we aren't drinking Scotch at work and smoking all day to offset it.
My own study found that when I became metabolically healthy, my cholesterol improved in every category (expanded panel every 6 months) I focus on high protein high fat but not avoiding carbs or sweets completely, definitely not avoiding alcohol. But avoiding being a sedentary fat ass like it was the 1 risk factor
Drink water, get a purifier, eat grass fed meats and wild fish, avoid fast food/junk food, and exercise.
