Mostly big business; follow the money. It wasn't in the government's interest to have a sickly population. It was in Big Sugar's interest to divert attention from the already well-documented problems of sucrose by demonizing animal fat. What we need is transparency in government and full disclosure of all the conflicts of interest of every public official who makes decisions affecting policy. We can start with Trump's tax returns going back going back to the 1990s.
That is so true. I have been researching natural health and nutrition for decades and for fun I seek out vintage health and diet books to see what people historically knew and advised compared to what is known and advised today. Low grain/sugar diets have been recommended for over 100 years to maintain healthy blood sugars and to lose or maintain weight. We have known about the dangers of a high refined starch and sugar diet all along but there were political reasons for pushing high refined carb, high sugar (including HFCS) diets and it all has to do with agricultural subsidies and food lobbyists, nothing to do with what is best for human health. Now we are desperately trying to rewind and save the lives and suffering of so many, plus avoid going broke from the cost of managing these modern "lifestyle diseases" that are caused by the over consumption of these foods, aka: SAD diet.
Thank God for Gary Taubes and his investigative work! I'm 58. I gave up all sugars and refined carbs and started eating more natural fats last November and started intermittent fasting (following Dr Jason Fung) and I've lost over 90 lbs so far! I'm off my blood pressure meds, my osteoarthritis pain is so much better I'm able to be active again and my asthma is pretty much non-existent! These changes have changed my life! I'm so thankful for these guys!!
He is the best example of this diet, look at him at 60 he seems to be in an Olympic shape. I stopped sugar since 16 months now it was easy for me because I wasn't a soda drinker or cake eater but sugar it everywhere, now I eat keto diet I feel much better than before. But we live in world of carbs and people don't understand when you say I don't eat carbs anymore I eat more good fat, they said with their soda on left hand the burger on the right it's dangerous and carbs is energy, so you explain once or twice to people but if they don't want to understand what can we do ? Less carbs it's good for health but bad for food industry ! Make your own research about nutrition and start a new life without sugar and less carbs ! Stay fit 💪😎
I love Gary Taube's point that all the things we do to work up an appetite so that we want to eat more, are the same things we do when we are supposed to diet. A lot of these doctors, scientists and documentarians have great logical points, and good narratives, so I have listened to them all and I really do not know what to believe. There are so many variables in terms of food and behavior and environment, not to mention everyone's different genetics ... how are we supposed to know what the truth is, but one thing we can see is that as the American diet and food system takes hold globally the same sickness and problems spread right along with it. I think the too much sugar, carbs and processed foods are a compelling first order factor for all of this. I think I've seen it in my own life as I used to shun bread, french fries, chips, etc and as I have eaten more of that stuff with others I have seen most of the fallout that are mentioned in this documentary. It is not easy to evade these processed foods. The more national a grocery chain is the more it is filled with aisles and aisles of stuff that is not really even food ... it is like a drug, and I think like the cigarette industry our food industry ought to be responsible for cleaning up its mess and paying for health care.
Fascinating interview - very illuminating and interesting - watched it twice just to make sure I really understood and didn't miss anything. More please.
So he looks like he's 50. One thing I've noticed about high fat/protein, low carb diets (besides dramatic weight loss) is that they tend to make people look years younger.
The only problem is whether everyone would agree with it... the nutritional dogma formed a few decades ago has become the centerpiece of "mindful eating" in America. It's ridiculous... my friends and family see the amount of butter and meat and cheese I eat on a daily basis and keep telling me I'm gonna give myself a heart attack and get fat, even when I try to tell them why the whole lipid hypothesis and food pyramid stuff is wrong... wish they would believe me. It's hard seeing the people you love enforce dogma that's literally killing them slowly on the inside...
People keep going on about the Japanese diet, but overlook the fact that seafood formed a major part of the Japanese diet, including many high-fat fish and shellfish. Sure, they eat rice, but usually with sauces that are also high in fat. Anyone ever seen a slice of their beef? It's mostly fat. Pork and poultry, like the ducks that have been part of their rice production maybe since it first began, also are high in fat. China's current diabetes rates are soaring. Great for the medical industry; not great for everyone else.
I've also heard that rice is one of the slower digesting grains/carbs. I don't know if that's true, but it would certainly make sense (in this instance).
I did-- brown rice has a glycemic index of 55, compared to 100 for white bread. So it seems that a brown rice diet with low sugar intake would be a lot better for you than a diet high in refined wheat flour and lots of sugar-- especially if you eat lots of Omega oil-rich seafood along with it.
Thanks Gary; for exposing a plethora of bad science; that continued for Decades from "prestigious people and institutions". Likely given funding by Big Industry. The Corporations got their dirty little hands into the laboratories.
Those are some harsh words to classify the majority of a country to be lazy, fat and stupid. We actually are one of the most productive countries in the world. I don't think it's from stupidity as much as it is from people being busy (productive) and trying to take care of themselves and their families and just do not have the time and/or money to invest in eating right; hence the crazy obesity rates with the poorer segments of society.
Hey Chris, Looks like your CAPS key is stuck down. Might want to repair that before you type anything. Makes you seem crazy, which transfers to your intended message. Of course, MAYBE THIS WORKS ON YOU.
Ellenor Bjornsdottir Professor Tim Noakes followed the diet perfectly, and was running marathons, too. Yet he became ill with Type II diabetes. When he stopped eating according to the Guidelines, his diabetes reversed. The Virta Health studies have demonstrated diabetes reversal in 60% of patients by IGNORING the Guidelines, not by following them. Any theory of metabolic disease has to account for these facts, not simply pretend that the facts don’t exist.
Thanks Gary ... I am with you ... have researched all and agree ... but come at it from the Ivor Cummings point of view ... "Solve the problem Before the Bridge falls Down". It took 10 years to get H. pylori into main stream medicine 10 years ... which is considered fast by the AMA ... but in engineering ... the problems have to be solved THE SAME DAY ... how odd ... Can we really wait ... we users have to take charge ... and ignore the pushback from doctors ... I was lucky as Mom was old school ... there were no Fat People when I was a kid ... now it is 50% ... something is wrong ... Who Knew ... 70 Going On 100 ... the Centenarian Diet.
Er... I've seen photos from the 1950s and before, and fat people definitely existed, even then. Even fat kids, though it was rarer than today. If you read Gary Taubes 'Good Calories, Bad Calories', he references Dr. Hilde Bruch, who treated obese children in the 1940s-1950s. Just sayin'.
Don’t kill your fat cells, they have a legitimate function in your body. If they were gone, you would instantaneously become a diabetic (Lipodystrophy). It takes about seven years for your body to remove unnecessary fat cells. Reduce their size and be patient.
I'm from Southeast Asia, when I was a kid ,everyday we eat rice ,fish and vegetable,our dessert is always fruit, half of banana,half of mango, we rarely eat meat, I was 90lb when I was 23 yrs.old ,we buy ice cream ,hot dog when somebody have a B day. But now I'm here in US I can eat ice cream everyday,I love desserts I gain almost 80lbs, But boy,I've never been happy , regrets,not in a million years.
I'm a avid believer with massive weight loss on my meat diet. But I'm per plexed As to why Asians can eat massive amounts of white rice and noodles and stay healthy. Isn't white rice and noodles just another form of sugar? I love white rice and noodles.
That was my first question. but the reply was that they do not eat hardly any sugar. Go to an Asian restaurant or market and look at how UNsweet their desserts and cookies are.
I lived in Japan for 3 years and serving sizes for their carbs are quite low. Even sodas over there don't contain nearly as much sugar. They also don't avoid fat as much as we do. Lots of dishes include broth that is made with either animal fat or butter.
I love Gary Taubes. he is an amazing human. I was 110kgs this time last year. I'm now 79kgs. gave up sugar and processed grains and it fell off. (30kgs / 65 pound fat loss). once you clean ur diet, u r capable of everything. thankyou so much for posting. love it shared it and subscribed xoox
Around 33:00. I don't think science is about trying to figure out "how you can get it wrong." Not at all. I think that's what lawyers do (and insurance companies). And that, I think, is the heart of the problem and how we got where we were. In the US, in particular, it's all about the law and law suits. "Evidence based" is not a scientific term (in my mind) it's a legal term. But it has been cleverly characterized as "scientific." Science is about tentatively finding what is right, or what is better, or what is more accurate than previously thought. It's not about "proving things beyond a reasonable doubt." I hate lawyers. They are the antithesis of science. Their job is to obfuscate, confuse, complicate and generally muddy the waters. It's exactly what went on in nutrition science since WW2. The corporations got lawyers to obfuscate and scientists to corrupt the science.
Why blame lawyers? Why not blame the expert witnesses who proffer contradictory testimony. Obviously, the expert witness for the defense and the expert witness for the plaintiff/prosecution can't both be correct.
Clyde Rembrandt I blame lawyers for enabling the rich and powerful. Money trumps ethics and common sense. Plus, it's all really just a self-serving industrial feedback loop where lawyers work both ends of it. Simple example, the drugs that are approved by the FDA (strict protocols, supposedly). Then the ambulance chasers that do class action lawsuits for drugs that are revealed to cause serious health problems once released on the public long-term. Furthermore, drug companies such as Merck and Eli-Lily have been fined billions for transgressions and wrong-doing. Two problems: 1. even billions of dollars is just "the cost of doing business" for them. 2. The court cases and punishments are suppressed in the general media. It's a small column in the business section when it should be front page news. Industrial feedback loop.
What Gary is saying that the Oriental diet with foods like Pork, Beef, Eggs, Rice Fish is more healthy than the Western diet, what has changed is the sauces and Marinades which are loaded with sugar... and become more westernised.. whereas they would have used soy sauce and Fish sauces peanuts etc. Jerfferdaughter I disagree with you.. Fat is not metabolised by the body and turns into adipose tissue is Carbohydrate. In all forms..
Sorry Dee ... you are completely off base ... we only store fats and proteins as energy, and glucose is very limited and to what we have in our blood and liver ... we do not store carbs which is why we now have Insulin Resistance problems and all modern diseases .. to include cancers ... Fat is the only fuel the body needs and there is No Known Carbohydrate Deficiency Disease, whereas this is not true of proteins and fats ... you will die without proteins (all enzymes and hormones) and fats. Fats transport fat soluble vitamins and you will die without cholesterol. Critical to make Vitamin D and about 2000 other gene expressions .. You do not need carbs ... but you do need fats the brain is 50% fat and mostly marine fats ... Insulin is a growth hormone Not A Regulator of Glucose ... you need a lot of work here ... as insulin just signals cells to accept carbs and release fats ... 70 Going On 100 ... the Centenarian Diet ...
Dee Richardson Not rice it’s a starchy carb that converts into glucose(sugar) immediately. Meat, eggs, nuts and seeds. Healthy Oils, olive, avocado, etc.
Gary Taubes has jumped onto the Lustig bandwagon. Over the years as his claims have been falsified, he has been whittled down from 'carbohydrates are evil', to 'refined carbohydrates are the problem', to 'sugar is rat poison'.
The problem with your statement is that following any of that advice, causes fat loss, improved blood lipids and health. So I will gladly follow any more information (facts) related to the premise.
The problem is that his claims have not been falsified. There's a hierarchy of bad. At the top is sugar. Below that is refined carbs. Carbs overall don't really make the list, though I avoid them due to insulin resistant syndrome.
12:10 The NIH advises every American over the age of two to go on a diet which has only *sometimes* had positive results for middle-aged men, despite the fact that women-- particularly poor, non-white women-- are at far more at risk from obesity-related illnesses than men. This is White Male Privilege in action.
So, if it only - sometimes - has positive results for white men, then logic follows that it mostly has - negative - results for the same group (white men), which means that this diet served almost noone, which makes it just bad science and policy, not implicit racism or privilege.
Not at all, it was codified as dogma, basically, by McGovern (from a wheat producing state) and the seed oil companies (Crisco sponsored the AHA). I totally get where you’re coming from, but not everything is about sex.
rule of thumb: the brain needs glucose (sugar) to do most of its functions, (fact) most of the people have small brains, so they don't need that much "sugar".
Actually, the brain functions better on ketone bodies, and the small amount of glucose the body needs can easily come from non-starch (no grain or potatoes) and non-sugary sources, like the small amounts of glycogen stored in muscle meats. Also, the body can do what is called 'gluconeogenisis', and make the tiny amount of glucose it 'needs'. The facts are available to anyone who looks for them. Dr. Stephen Phinney PhD, Dr Jeff Volek, and many more have done the research. Also, the brain is mostly fat, and about 40% cholesterol. Every cell membrane is composed largely of fat. Nerve cells are protected by fat, and the degeneration of those protective sheaths is called MS. Average intelligence and performance of standardized tests have dropped since the government and the food industry successfully convinced people into thinking that a diet high in simple carbs was healthy. Correlation is not causation, but the lack of healthy fats (NOT industrially manufactured fats like Crisco, or industrial oils like corn and soybean oils) in the diet, is also known to reduce the amount and absorption of fat-soluable vitamins that are critical for health. Lack of cholesterol in the skin means that we are unable to make Vit D when the sunlight hits our skin - these things are all well proven.

1920's weight loss tips were mainly about reducing sugars and grains. Our government and big business did us in back in the 70's.
Mostly big business; follow the money. It wasn't in the government's interest to have a sickly population. It was in Big Sugar's interest to divert attention from the already well-documented problems of sucrose by demonizing animal fat.

Gary was 61 at the time of this interview. He looks like he’s in his early 50’s. If I can look 50 at 60 by cutting out carbs/sugar, I’m in!
I'll be 60 this year and...........well, i don't look my age at all. Someone gave me 30 something the other day. I do take care of myself.
Have you ever been in Italy? Everybody looks younger than their actual age. (Especially north Italy) How bizarre.
He says he has a 4 yr old child? At 61 ?

And eggs! Another dietary staple, along with chicken, and pork, across the far-eastern Asian countries.
I've also heard that rice is one of the slower digesting grains/carbs. I don't know if that's true, but it would certainly make sense (in this instance).
to find that out just type in glycemic index.

So, if it only - sometimes - has positive results for white men, then logic follows that it mostly has - negative - results for the same group (white men), which means that this diet served almost noone, which makes it just bad science and policy, not implicit racism or privilege.
Not at all, it was codified as dogma, basically, by McGovern (from a wheat producing state) and the seed oil companies (Crisco sponsored the AHA). I totally get where you’re coming from, but not everything is about sex.
rule of thumb: the brain needs glucose (sugar) to do most of its functions, (fact) most of the people have small brains, so they don't need that much "sugar".
Actually, the brain functions better on ketone bodies, and the small amount of glucose the body needs can easily come from non-starch (no grain or potatoes) and non-sugary sources, like the small amounts of glycogen stored in muscle meats. Also, the body can do what is called 'gluconeogenisis', and make the tiny amount of glucose it 'needs'. The facts are available to anyone who looks for them. Dr. Stephen Phinney PhD, Dr Jeff Volek, and many more have done the research.
Also, the brain is mostly fat, and about 40% cholesterol. Every cell membrane is composed largely of fat. Nerve cells are protected by fat, and the degeneration of those protective sheaths is called MS.
Average intelligence and performance of standardized tests have dropped since the government and the food industry successfully convinced people into thinking that a diet high in simple carbs was healthy. Correlation is not causation, but the lack of healthy fats (NOT industrially manufactured fats like Crisco, or industrial oils like corn and soybean oils) in the diet, is also known to reduce the amount and absorption of fat-soluable vitamins that are critical for health. Lack of cholesterol in the skin means that we are unable to make Vit D when the sunlight hits our skin - these things are all well proven.
Vegans ha ha ha
not true
the brain needs glucose and ketones.
the liver can make both.
all you need to eat is fat, protein & micronutrients
If you think we're born on sugar you have a lot to learn.
