Great job , What did you do to reverse your diabetes? How many times did you eat and what??? I have added fasting and cleaning my diet cause I want to come of the meds. Have a blessed day
@@bigdog58mc it's simple : eat no carbs. Depending how far you're down the "diabetes-road, you could even pull it off by eating LESS carbs. Buy a glucose meter. Watch what your meals do to your bloodsugar. No carbs= bloodsugar will stay LOWEST. If it's still too high after meals, that means you need to go no carb or at least very low carb ( +- < 20g / day ). If not, you can be less strict...
So many people don't realize that fruit has been bred to have more fructose and that fructose is not good for us! Thank you for sharing about this new research!
@@moneybitches4796 everything in moderation simplifies it a bit too much I think. A better statement is eat evolutionarily appropriate levels. Our bodies evolved to detoxify up to certain levels of many compounds. Exceeding those levels will lead to health issues. Different people will also have different levels, depending on many factors.
Finally, there's a doctor in the house!!!! Thank you for you being you!!! And happy new baby!!! 90 day bbbe challenge 270 days in and feeling healthier then ever in my 53 years on this rock we all are floating through space on, Thank you again for your love!!!!
Before going keto I had a fruit smoothie daily brainwashed into thinking I was doing something good for my health. (banana, blueberry, grapefruit and sweetened yogurt) I never enjoyed them either ( I actually hate bananas) just thought I needed them. Now I only eat fruit when I crave it and its usually a sour fruit like green apple or grapefruit a couple times a week. Much more enjoyable.
I haven't actually been diagnosed with FLD but thought I should make sure I was helping my body. A fruit smoothie every a.m. Who knew? Thank you for the info., though I do feel the fool for my ignorance.
I'm a long time T2 diabetic with excellent control. All fruit is not equal. Seeded berries are ok in limited quantity. Such as strawberries, raspberries and blackberries. It's the carbs folks.
There is a serious flaw in the argument. All the test subjects already have fatty liver, meaning they all have too much sugar in their diets. Most fruits contain significant amount of fructose (main cause of fatty liver). And eating more fruits will further increase excess sugar in their diets. So obviously eating more fruits will make their fatty liver worse. The cause is likely not eating more fruits, but consuming excessive amount of sugar.
Less fruit and no processed sugar. He don't really say how much sugar they eat. Fruit is not considered sugar. Sugar is like juices, or those white crystals in a 5lb bag...the concentrated fruit juices. It didn't bother people too much for a lot of years they put out sugar unless there's the case where wealthy people back in the 1700's got sugar first and got super sick from it so they knew first and quit sugar first and went back to eating meat and a lot of them ate liver to feel better. People slowly got clogged organs with a lot of poisons and they suffer more from sugar now than they ever did. McDonald's etc tries to serve insane amounts of bread and sugar, then there's doughnuts, cake and ice cream. All that is much worse than fruit. but fruit is impossible if mixed with meat, or dairy. The fermentation or longer digestion time, causes fermentation and makes bad bacteria. Ice cream is really bad and yogurt with fruit is bad. Cooked fruit is bad. Bananas are bad, but fresh watery organic fruit that has vitamin C in it is good but it's really hard to digest unless eating alone and away from meat or milk or cheese so the person can load up with bad bacteria and may have to have no fruit at all for a while, just greens fixes it and not cooked greens only fresh. Then meat can be added but it don't digest with greens so again separate the eating into different meals, one with meat one with greens one with fruit. Meat or cheese even yogurt takes so long to digest, it's hours waiting until you can eat fruit again. If the yogurt bacteria is alive, which is rare these days, it digests well.
Well clearly the cause of Fatty Liver is excess sugar, the clear point was that fruit makes fatty liver worse… when people want to lose weight and get back to health people automatically jump to @eat more veggies and fruit that’s the point… genius
I have cut out most fruit from my diet. I still eat one serving of fruit about every 2-3 days bc it's summer and I enjoy it. But this very little amount of fruit doesn't seem to have affected my body or my health at all. I will check bloodwork in September and see if I'm still okay. Have lost over 60 lbs since converting to a low-carb diet and incorporating intermittent fasting. Thank you Dr. Berry for all your help.
The whole point of this study was to show an excessive high amount of fruit could worsen individuals with a specific condition. Of course when you have people trying to cash in on and promote extreme dietary agendas like these carnivore proponents do, they will use research like this to extremely claim people should never eat any fruit ever again or its not healthy for anyone, in any quantity blah blah blah. This is the same extreme militant rhetoric the vegans see when they hear words like "dietary cholesterol", ohh you better go remove all meat from your diet, its got methionine, and heavy metals and all sorts of scary sounding words that studies have found in excessive quantities may promote cancer blah blah blah. I don't know who are more terrifying the carnivores or the vegan pseudo-science promoters.
don't starve yourself of the essential nutrients of fruit due to flawed dogma , if your body needs it , LISTEN ! just stay away from engineered fruits like bananas and other sugary tropical fruits
Wow that is amazing and it shows a causation of what fruit does once inside your body. I have NAFLD and was dx over 20 yrs ago. My health is/was going down the toilet. Hashimoto's just over a year ago and generally feeling like I was deteriorating. I found you and Kelly Hogan and have been doing a carnivore diet just for 5 days now. I already have a bit more energy and less pain. You are all saving lives and I hope that more people see these videos and start taking back their health.
I don't have fatty liver disease and I do intermittent fasting everyday. I also love fruit and I have no intention of giving it up, but mainly eat fruits that are lower in sugar, mostly berries, but still occasionally eat fruits that are higher in sugar, like apples and grapes. I'm all about trying to maintain habits that contribute to good health, but I am not about to give up all the foods I love. Sometimes I think the pursuit of the perfect diet misses the point. Obviously, if you have a condition that would be improved by a strict diet, that's different, but if you are generally healthy and active, particularly if you do IF, I see no reason to drastically limit your fresh fruit intake. Lets use some common sense here.
Generally speaking fruits/vegetables lower fatty liver in the context of a balanced diet. That doesn't mean once you have fatty liver that excessive intake of certain foods cannot aggrevate or worsen the condition There needs to be context here, of course all of this is about the carnivore/anti-plant crew trying to scare normal healthy individuals to remove all fruit from their diet. But hey go eat an excessive saturated fat fad diet which has been shown to worsen fatty liver also. Complete nonsense. Like telling people to remove all meat from their diet because its a contraindicated risk factor for individuals with kidney disease. This is the same nonsense rhetoric the vegans use and preying on people with studies like this.
@@aggielonghorn I had forgotten about that video (and my comment)! 😅 It was one year ago when I watched it, while I was in the process of reversing T2D. So, you can imagine that emotions were high then, and also my backstory was directing my path. I reckon I should delete the comment as it does not reflect my current thoughts. It's nice to meet you ☺
Nice video Doc. Wonder, did they separate a group into what fruit they ate during the trial? I used to eat dried cantaloupe and dried tangerines (bought at Publix) holy cow they were good. My triglycerides went to 900! yep 900, stopped eating those and triglycerides dropped almost 700 points in a matter of days. So I would be interested to see what types, and kinds of fruits these people ate, just curious. Love your videos. BTW
This was one of the problems with the trial. It was done in a country where dried fruit is prevalent and mostly eaten. That's a high concentration of fructose. Diet doctor certainly agrees with the evaluation but they are always cautious when making claims. I recommend watching diet doctor to see their take on the study.
I just have to say Thank you for doing these videos. I have been diagnosed with NAFLD and at the start of my journey I was gaining weight, eating carbs, etc. but after watching your videos I went on a strict Keto Diet and I have now gone from 166lbs to 131lbs! I'm still trying to lose a few more pounds but I feel so much better. My stomach doesn't bloat like it used to and now after about 3-4 months I am feeling more energetic, I've lost SEVERAL clothes sizes, and my liver enzymes are way lower! My only issue on my CBC is slight ALT elevation. I don't eat much fruit because of the sugar content. Waaaay too much sugar for keto. My main meals are hamburger patties and steak. Not very cheap but it works! I eat chicken breasts every so often but I loved BBQ sauce and that's a no go for me now so I don't enjoy it as much. But thank you again for all your knowledge and for sharing it with us!
damn, I'm more healthy than you and I was 255lbs lol. And here I feel so proud to go down to 215 lbs and feeling ultra healthy. I'm 5'4 so my ideal weight should be 160lbs, im embarassed.
Try making a dressing of half balsamic vinegar, half olive oil...and crush a garlic clove and add it to the mix, then salt and pepper to taste, then shake well, and leave in the spice shelf, not the fridge...as it goes lumpy! Add a teaspoon or 2 over your chicken, you'll be surprised!
@@Marylmac you are definitely correct about DIY dressing. Anybody that's doing a keto carnivore and wants to have some type of sauce on their meat all they have to do is research it and they can make something that is compatible.
Dr. Lustig in a video here on RUclips said an ALT reading over 25 would indicate fatty liver. Last year my ALT read 59 and after a month on carnivore this year it went down to 35. From what Lustig said your doctor won't even address it unless your 2 to 3 times the normal. Why? If it's above 33 I believe it's time to change the diet.
Years ago I heard a research pediatric doctor from a University Hospital in California and he was researching fatty liver in children. He concluded that it was primarily the massive fruit juice that children drink. He had no agenda other than research. Fructose is mainly processed in the liver and fatty liver is not longer an adult problem
Yes! I never bought the fruit boxes on a regular,, and never gave one kid the entire box. I split it in 3 small juice glasses and filled with water. Or club soda for " soda"
Certainly the high fructose in juices is poison but high fructose corn syrup is in practically every processed product and is even more harmful. I don’t buy anything that comes in a box anymore. My fatty liver disease has been reversed. And there’s no need or reason to ever go back to that old way of eating again.
it's true , this bogus trend of processed "juices" is robbing children of benefits of REAL fruit and harming them with the high volumetric sugar content
I did what you told me to do in March this year...no fruit, sugar or carbs. In June 2022, down 22 lbs, blood work shows, to my doctor's surprise "given your age" (fu$k I'm 61 as if I should step into the incinerator chamber already) that I have totally reversed NAFLD diagnosis, among many other issues.
There's no end of trolls who come to the defense of fruit with "it's natural, it won't hurt you," and both are wrong. Virtually every fruit is a frankenfruit, and fructose simply cannot be tolerated in large quantities. At least the fructose in vegetables is minute, and accompanied by fiber and other nutrients. My one fruit a day is an avocado.
Before you start blaming fructose for fatty liver you need to understand the role of choline in the diet and you need to start researching how calling is protective for the liver. This is why you need to eat things like liver and plenty of good source egg yolks
@@mickeyc2137 Sure they do, just like the Japanese eat tons of rice (actually, they don't.) PS: Unlike you, I took the time to check your claim. One of the top hits was "NAFLD: A Pressing Problem for Hawai’i." That was from the University of Hawaii Internal Medicine Residency Program.
@@CarbageMan choline is protective. The most natural diet you can consume is mostly animal based with some fruits as well. Insulin has many important roles in the body...do you think God would make us have certain hormones in the body that are 100% bad and have ZERO positive effects in the body? Insulin is not the devil. Fruit is not the devil. Fructose is not the devil. The problem is not so much WHAT you eat but what you DON'T eat.
I am an obese 60-year-old man diagnosed with prediabetes and a fatty liver. I decided to try out the carnivore diet to lose weight and combat these two issues. By eating 2 meals per day of 1/2 pound of 80% ground beef I have seen some weight reduction in the first month (8 pounds). If I eat anymore meat or fats in a day, I stop losing weight. Otherwise, my blood glucose and other issues seem to be improved. I must admit that 2 quarter pound patties twice per day seems pretty harsh, but I have managed a month and will continue as long as I can. Thanks Dr. Berry.
So the control group ate 2 fruits a day and the liver health markers went down. That doesn't mean no fruits at all. Also, no mention of which fruit types in the study. Some fruits have less fructose than others. Seems like eating fruits moderately can be beneficial as a part of a healthy balanced diet.
Yes. The flaw in the study was how many total carbs per day. Our bodies turn food into glucose, fat or protein. The same study could be done with anything with carbs.
@@stuarthutt3740 agreed fruits should not be paired with anything else like a sandwich and grapes etc. or a fruit smoothie AND breakfast like no... I believe that's how most people are taught to consume fruits "with whatever" it but if you went on an all fruit diet and nothing else your body can heal a lot of ailments. Too many testimonies have proven it. But knowing when and how much fruit to consume is key because lets get real if you ate the whole bag of cherries in one sitting then that's your answer of why fruit is adding fuel to the fire theres a time and a place to eat fruits and should not be paired with other fruits and on salads with dressings and all of that or else yes the wrong pairings and too close to other meals can do more harm than good, but its not the single fruit alone by itself causing the harm. If you do a fruit smoothie make it a berry smoothie with nothing else by itself and for breakfast ONLY...or instead of a fruit smoothie do a green smoothie with leafy greens and avocado or leafy greens and ones single green apple for breakfast or as a meal replacement but not a smoothie with the whole fruit section from the grocery store or right before you eat lunch lol
Excellent topic for this time of year, so a profound thank you from a T2 diabetic. However, it would be useful to know what was considered a 'fruit' for this study. Many 'vegetables', such as tomatoes, are considered vegetables but are in fact fruits and some varieties (certainly the more popular varieties) are quite sweet after ripening in a strong sun. Same with peppers and other vegetables where we eat the 'fruit' and not the leaf. Even some root veggies, like sweet potatoes, are often problematic for sugar sensitive challenges, and many people don't know the difference or the risk. Thanks for all the good information you put out there for us.
Good question, olives are fruit and capers are berries. I eat both in abundance! I recon Dr Berry is referring to what we generally consider to be fruit ie oranges, apples, bananas and such like
@@glassdaft That's what I am curious about. As a diabetic I have made it my business to know what I can and cannot eat, but people who are unknowingly, or knowingly, at risk of significant liver disease may not have done that. Just sayin'.
He also mean strawberries 🍓 blueberries 🫐 yes even blue berries if you have a fatty live. Your best bet is just to stay away from that part of the store unless you love lemons 🍋 those are great for a fatty liver.
I wish they had kept track of everything else they ate. I know from myself that once I eat a carb (fruit) I crave more carbs. The point is if they ate the fruit they may have also ate more other carbs. Unless they are eating exactly the same things except for the fruit amounts, it's not proving anything in my opinion. All though I do agree with fructose being bad, very carby and problematic.
That’s what I’ve been advised to eat and have fatty liver. I was eating lots of fruits and veggies. Not anymore. Eat mostly meat and little non starchy veggies.
...@@gracecotton9819 Usually abouut 8 to 12 months, if permanent damage hasn't been done. I recently went 1000 kilometers to an Endocrine specialist in Belgrade, Serbia, to have scans, ultrasounds, blood sugar etc etc tests and she also said to quit the carbs and check all foods for their GI index count and keep it low, do hard exercise 20 mins after eating ...for 30 mins, so the pancreas doesn't have to squirt out insulin, and walk as much as you can in the year to take the pressure off the liver and pancreas, take vit D, 4000 u for 2 months then 2,000 u thereafter, plus omega 3 capsules and a wild red rice and milkthistle capsule because I have no gall bladder. Am back to jogging daily, can mow my huge paddock for 3 hours, non stop etc. Had no weight issue, but had been a glutton on fresh fruits I grew abundantly...nearly put me in the grave last year! This guy and Dr Berg's vids gave me the info that really did save my life. Thankyou.
@@gracecotton9819 Hi, I was diagnosed back in 2018 with mild fatty liver. Had ultrasound last June, results very mild fatty liver, no worse than initial diagnosis, so it's not completely reversed. Have only been on Keto since last Nov. 2021.
@@Marylmac I am surprised that hard exercise only 20 mins after eating was recommended. It takes longer than that for the body to digest food, and the body needs all the energy it can get for digesting, not for exercise. I wonder if this was the reason why, as kids, we often experienced 'stitches'. Still, it must have worked for you if you can mow a paddock for 3 hours! That is some achievement. What is a shame is that you grew fruit that you can't eat. I am in a similar situation with growing fruit, and try to limit the amount I have each day whilst it is available. I have loads of strawberries, gooseberries, raspberries, and blueberries in the freezer. Because of oxalates, the only vegetables grown this year are cabbage and peas, apart from onion and garlic, which I don't have a problem with. Do hope you are better able to manage a little fruit by this time next year.
I was diagnosed with a fatty liver.. I had a large amount of alt in my bloods.. consistently found I was having yellow poop for months ect.. I followed your carnivore and found myself deficient is some vitamins so slowly moved to keto. Keto worked fine with me whilst following all your recommendations whilst eating berries and kiwi and boom. Alt went down, lost 8 pounds since I'm not overweight and not seen a yellow poop since. You are amazing. 👏
@@KaiDadswellUK they have a kind of stingy feel to them don't they? makes the corners of ur mouth sore..listening to ur instincts isn't such a bad idea it turns out.
There seems to be a big push in some of the carnivore keto community to have large amounts of fruit and/or honey. Small amounts for healthy people is possibly OK, but so many people have bad liver health and so this would not be a good idea.
Younger adults that have good daily exercise workouts and don’t eat surgery foods, seed oils, and processed foods maybe could get away with eating/drinking fruits and honey, but in older people with their older insulin resistant and leptin resistant bodies, the fructose and glucose from fruit and honey would wreck poisonous havoc on their livers, blood insulin and triglyceride levels, and body chemistry.
If you are not active and fit...sure. But you also can't compare processed fructose (high fructose)with the levels of fructose in fruit. Two completely different things. Don't think anyone believes fruitarians are healthy.
This is what happens when you box yourself into ridiculous dangerous "zero carb" extreme all meat/beef/animal food faddy diets that have abolutely zero dietary fiber rich whole plant-foods. All these fake carnivore "gurus" regularly cheat with a variety of plant-foods and much like the fake "100% raw vegan gurus" just consistently lie to their fans about what they eat. Got people claiming they live off mcdonalds quarter pounders for 13+ years now hahahahahaa
I don't even have to watch this to say it's all true. In 2012 I was 150 lbs. no T2D, started eating "healthy", fruit, veggies, whole grains. Gained 40lbs. became T2D over next 3 to 4 years. Now on Keto no T2D, down to 150lbs., A1C 5.1, Trig in the 50's, HDL in the 60's.
I had the opposite outcome. Maybe it depends on the person. I was pre-diabetic, high bp, and 178lbs. I cut out all meat , dairy, bread, pasta, and junk/processed food. I did 16 hour intermittent fasting and water fasting. I ate whole foods, fruit, veggies, nuts, seeds, etc. The Weight melted off without any exercise. I reversed pre-diabetes came off both bp meds and now weigh 123 lbs. And I am still holding steady 2yr later. I just recently added tuna and salmon to my diet in small portions. I'm glad you were able to find what worked for you. Our health is our greatest wealth!!!
thats very subjective and it maybe true for YOU but it certainly is not "all true" . you'd better watch it with that arrogance . even tho the carbs of grains and sugars in some fruits will cause your problems remember there are a lot of other metabolic factors at work . people like you are fad followers and never balance your actions with common sense . were you eating enough meat and protein at that time or OVERCONSUMING CARBS to attempt to fill the void ?
@@tanmusicch Thanks!!!! I decided to add salmon/tuna for protein and omega 3 benefits. I like adding them to my salads. I will usually add one full can of tuna to my salad. I buy the frozen salmon and cook in the oven and add to my Salad. Sometimes I use canned salmon. I have not heard of that movie. I will have to check it out. I watched Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead part 1 and that opened my eyes.
Dr baker made a post about this exact study a week ago you can check it out there too …. He had to post another video from all the backlash from saying fruit is not good . The study was about ppl who were unhealthy with fatty liver this study was NOT done on healthy ppl without fatty liver . So some ppl eat a small serving of fruit without any issues so it’s all context
Love the vlogs. Quick notes to consider: I always had excellent cholesteral and HDLs, as well as excellent LDL. After 3 years of keto, all of sudden cholesteral at 211 and LDLs high but not super high... but HDLs still very high at 75. Trigly fine, glucose fine, etc. I went to a cardiologist, never met before, for a 64 yr old baseline. Because of the parental and grandparents family history of heart disease, he viewed the lab report and without speaking with me as to my current diet, etc, (very careful about drugs, very liver conscious etc) he announces "you are laying down plaque and you need to be on a statin". Immediately, I was trying to find the door Without speaking to me, made his judgement on me, the one LDL level.....and after my echo said my heart was fine. SO, I am not going back, his last comments to me, as he scheduled another test of vast expense, "and when you come back, I will try talking you into a statin". mind you, never met this man. I have been a long decades long pure eater, due to fibromyalgia, arthritis, and other diet allergies...I watch you religiously and Dr Berg, I am no stranger to no sugar, grains, alcohol, junk food, etc...the past three months, have stopped eggs, cheese, dairy (except for nonfat greek with probiotics) and am eating more vegies, only two meals a day and I have been fasting for 16-18 hrs for over 3 years now... The bottom line while visiting my endocrinologist checkup for hypothyroid....she ordered the calcium test and i told me to stop the supplements for next 3 months as what I was taking had calcium in them...too much. My calcium will be taken in about a week. Cant wait. I will also have blood work redone. Once i get ldl under according to medical community guidelines, I can reintroduce eggs couple times a week and cheese once in a while. I am going to monitor my supplements. IT WAS MY Endo doctor who has been working with me for 15 yrs, and can look at the entire history of my labs to know it was very stupid to try putting me on a statin. It will never happen as long as I control my diet...
Are you taking K2 and Hawthorn? Also, have you had a coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring, carotid intima-media thickness test (CIMT), oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), or ankle brachial index test (ABI), these are great tests to determine your overall health.
I take things to calm my gut and for digestive issues really,like a digestive plus enzyme,collegen powder, probiotic, lemon water and acv and of course vit d with k. Looking to take bile salts too to help the gallbladder along, and mega b complex daily
I AM NOT A DOCTOR. 62 YO. with diabetes. What I have found works wonders is 3-4 veggies cooked in olive oil for breakfast. Soften the veggies, then crack an egg and throw handfull of fresh spinach and cheese on top. Phenomenal nutrition and good for several hours for food.
13,000 autopsies in South Korea showed that the people with low cholesterol died early people with high cholesterol lived longer cholesterol is needed it's brain food I'd like for my cholesterol to be up at 211
I haven't been officially diagnosed with NAFLD, but I think I have it. In the past, I would eat fruit because the food guide says to eat 5-10 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Of course, I would eat 4 servings of fruit a day to try to follow the guide, including using juices as at least one of the servings. I thought I was being healthy. I've been carnivore for three months and, thankfully, have brought the horrifying inflammation I've been suffering from WAY down. No doubt that fruit was a major cause of the inflammation and God knows what is really wrong inside, which I'm hoping I fix, fingers crossed.
It is the bad processed foods and sugar that screws up our metobolic system and then in turn we have problems. Fruits does not mess with your metobolic system. But once you have ailments... Then limited fruit may be what some people need.
I love your work, and you have helped change my life, so I don’t want this taken the wrong way, but I am kind of surprised you picked this study. Here is the abstract: “Eighty adults with NAFLD participated in this randomized controlled trial. The participants were randomly assigned to the FRD group with consumption of at least 4 servings of fruits daily or the control group with fruits consumption of less than 2 servings/day.” That’s it. That’s all they were told. We have no idea what else they were eating or drinking. To say that fruit is the only cause for the results is wildly inaccurate (unless I missed something). As someone who is doing carnivore, I recently experimented with fruit in the mornings (per Saladino’s studies). I honestly haven’t felt better. Fruit (specifically organic berries, maybe an occasional apple or banana) feels right to me when it comes to starting my day. Sometimes it’s harder to stomach a bowl of fatty beef and eggs. Sometimes I would eat less because I would lose my appetite and would wind up hungry mid day. Eating some fruit curbed this for me. Granted everyone is different, and needs to do what’s right for them, but I think certain fruit in moderation can be good.
THANK YOU for pointing this out! fruit is high in nutrients and fiber and is a natural detoxifer. Its necessary. There are people who have reversed all of their chronic illnesses being fruitarians.
Many carnivores would say that if you´re not in the mood to ¨stomach a bowl of fatty beef and eggs¨, then you´re not truly hungry and are trying to force yourself to eat breakfast. Not saying this is the case with you, but it´s worth considering. As for fruit, it´s nothing like the fruit our ancestors had access to, so it can´t possibly be good for us these days with all the sugar/fructose that´s in it. To each their own, though...
@Texasgirlinacrazyworld every time I see a nutrition "expert" who demonizes entire food groups I'm always skeptical. Dr. Berg does the same thing. He also tells people that cleaning out your colon is bad for you and not necessary and I'm a colon hydrotherapist and after 11 years giving tens of thousands of people colonics plus hundreds on myself I can attest that he is 100% wrong about that. Also 5 years ago he spoke at our colon hydrotherapy convention praising the benefits of colonics. Super shady
@@mickeyc2137 Of course! Normally I never comment, but on this video I just felt compelled to. I agree that fruit is full of nutrients and is arguably necessary. To me, it makes sense that the only part of a plant that is supposed to be eaten is the fruit as they want us to spread their seeds. I also think too much fruit isn’t good, as is too much of anything.
If you're consuming fruit it needs to be organic and in season in your local area. Consuming fruit out of season or from a different climate can disrupt your metabolism.
@@thalesnemo2841 There are still ways to get organic fruits that are closer to their original form. Certain farms by me grow them and they are way different from store bought garbage.
It was an RCT on a sick population no doubt. I'd be curious to see how it would be on a low carb diet, carnifruit diet, and vegan diet in comparison to (guessing) a SAD group. You also mentioned dried fruit and that already rings some warning bells in my mind. Wish it was whole fruits only, or even better, specific fruits daily, instead of eat this big group as you want. But need to read the study myself, just going from the video, haha.
On a fruitarian diet (3+ years), my insulin stayed around a 6, my BMI did not increase, HbA1c was optimal, no weight gain, and many others would report the same. So there's likely some flaw in this study (were the participants eating fresh fruit vs canned fruit, dole cups, dried fruit, ice cream snacks with fruit on it etc?) Not to say that excess fruit can't cause fatty liver, but something in this study is off if all these biomarkers increased from 4 servings of fruit a day) Not to mention the dozens of other studies that show fruit reverses fatty liver
@@ActivateTrueHealth I agree because there are many people online doing raw vegan or even fruitarian diets that look & feel great! But, I often wonder if ONLY eating fruit is the healthiest option, since veggies provide their own type of nutrition? I don't currently eat meat, but went from vegan to vegetarian in order to be able to eat eggs for nutrition.
@@IQ-zt5gd yeah I agree , I don't think only fruit is healthy long term I also started to incorporate some animal products for nutrients I was missing, but I still eat loads of fruit.
I eat mostly avocado and berries (they're more diabetes friendly), plus lemonade/limeade (no sugar added), and SGOT and SGPT are getting better Moreover, the result above is also of what I had low carb diet in past 4 months
It's easy to fall into that trap with fruit. It's fresh, but can be addicting (because of the amount of sugar in certain fruits) IE: bananas, etc. With all things, moderation, and know what you're consuming! Thanks for the video! (When I say everything in moderation, I'm not including fruits, processed sugars, Twinkies, etc. I'm referring to overeating keto safe food, when on a keto diet, and that's why I mentioned "know what you're consuming".
"All things in moderation" is a fallacy because it includes "all things". Not all things are good for us. Some things are bad for us...fruit is one of them.
Interesting. How much in grams did they consider to be a "serving"? Also the fructose varies greatly between tropical sweet fruits and something like berries. IMO, "servings" should be measured in grams of fructose, not grams of the actual fruit.
Blueberries and strawberries do have less sugar than other types of modern fruit. Drinking orange juice is even worse than drinking soda when it comes to the sugar.
I’m not on Facebook or anything and I’ve just been wondering if little Bonnie was brought into the world ?😍. I pray Neisha and baby and family is all okay.
… about the only fruit I consume on a regular basis are avocados and tomatoes … oh … and lots of lemons ! … edit: I just found out today that cucumbers are a fruit 🤔🤷🏼♀️ …
3 years or so ago I'd have found this information fascinating! But after 2ish years on a "primal" diet, then upwards of a year of Ketovore (heavy on the Carnivore side), I'm like, 'Fruit makes fatty liver worse?' Well, DUHHH!!! 😄 Keep on teachin', Doc. ❤🙏❤/ 💪❤
Duh right. But of course excessive saturated fat all meat/animal food faddy carnivore "diets" are "fine"..... I mean numerous studies haven't also found that diets rich in saturated fat can worsen fatty liver. "Diets rich in saturated fatty acids induce a greater increase in liver fat and insulin resistance compared with isocaloric diets enriched with monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fatty acids " "Overfeeding saturated fats increased liver triglycerides more (+55%) than unsaturated fats (+15%, P < 0.05)." "Effects differ dependent upon carbohydrate and fat type. Saturated fat and fructose induce the greatest increase in intrahepatic triglycerides (IHTG), insulin resistance, and harmful ceramides compared with unsaturated fats, which have been found to be protective" "Saturated Fat Increases Risk for Liver Disease More than Sugar or Unsaturated Fat. Saturated fat intake is more harmful to the liver than sugar or unsaturated fat, according to a new study published in Diabetes Care." Don't worry you'll never hear about any of this research on a channel like this.
I eat 4 eggs 🥚 and 5 pieces of bacon 🥓 every morning for breakfast. I don’t eat hardly any fruit. Since I’m doing a ketogenic/carnivore diet I’ve hardly been snacking since. I eat German Meica sausages and they are high in saturated fat and cholesterol. Thank you Dr Berry.
Try eating like this for too long and I guarantee you will start feeling fatigued and a host of issues will start cropping up. Too much fat is a real cause of fatty liver. Fat makes your blood thick and makes it more difficult for your liver to filter. Pretty basic common sense actually.
Thanks for all you do. What about these super fruit supplements that is supposed to be concentrated fruit. Would they also be included in the fruit category?
As a CPT and Nutrition coach it is extremely difficult to convince people seeking better health that fruit is counter productive. They will site GI, fiber and vitamins. I think if I showed this video they would say, but I don’t have a fatty liver!!! Of coarse in many cases it is that their doctor hasn’t diagnosed them with fatty liver!!!
I was diagnosed with fatty liver about 20 years ago. BUT I wasn't told what I could do about it. Thankfully I started low carb in October 2021 and I my blood test results are good in all areas. My ALT has gone from 45 down to 22. I will be getting a scan done at the 1 year more and I have the other scans to compare it with. I am expecting the scans to show that my fatty liver has improved, but what I am really interested in is by how much.
I just asked my doctor to check my liver enzymes. Over the past 10 years my body has been overheating with very little exertion and I know it's not hormone related. I became suspicious of fatty liver when the symptom improved with intermittent fasting.
Susana Heinz has a video on her channel Science with Susanna that explains how the cell structures in the liver change as it accumulates more fat. Very easy to follow.
I just want to give a small healing testimony. Because of you and a few others that drive the carnivore lifestyle change hard, my body is healing. History: I was diagnosed with GERD (acid reflux) when I was 20 and have been on omeprizole for 25 years straight. I was also diagnosed with HCM (enlarged heart) when I was 28 and had first heart attack at age of 34. No clogged arteries and healthy otherwise. To top it off I got a severe cold/flu (COVID-19) a year ago this week and all of a sudden became sensitive/allergic to several foods I’ve eaten my entire life such as pineapple and walnuts. I’ve had sores in my mouth, nose and throat since July 2021 until about 3 weeks ago. Suffered for a year and Doctor’s could not help make them go away. I’ve been on several steroids and oral rinses time and time again. I found one of your videos about carnivore way of eating and within 10 days the sores inside my throat that drove me crazy healed, a few days later all sores on tongue and inside lips healed, 4 days after that the huge sore inside my left nostril healed. The sores that medication and expensive doctors could not touch was all healed by eating a meat only diet. My cardiologist said to stop eating only meat (I will not). I’ve stopped taking omeprizole last week and although not perfect I feel like my acid reflux is even getting better. I wanted to share this with you to say thank you.
What got me to quit fruit was when we were taught that all fructoses have to go thru the liver to be processed. If your liver is already compromised, why in the world would you make it work harder, especially after hearing these research results?
Why would you make it work even harder with an excessive saturated fat rich intake from an all meat/animal food "carnivore fad diet"? That's shown to be equally as bad if not worse than fructose for fatty liver.... "Diets rich in saturated fatty acids induce a greater increase in liver fat and insulin resistance compared with isocaloric diets enriched with monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fatty acids " "Overfeeding saturated fats increased liver triglycerides more (+55%) than unsaturated fats (+15%, P < 0.05)."

@@evidence-basedhealthuk5271 no thank God we will not have to read garbage like you spew on this channel, so why even come here and waste your time. I would never waste my time on a vegan/global warming/communistic channel that you’ve dug up.
@@evidence-basedhealthuk5271 I agree with you here. No one speaks of what a high saturated fat diet will do over LONG term. While it may eliminate issues someone might be having, I contend it has more to do with getting rid of the crap they were eating in the first place (processed foods, excessive grains, etc). Moderation and balance are the key. Can we all stop fighting now :)
Thank you for this information, Dr. Berry. I've been eating some berries---strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries---and did eat some peach slices and some cherries before remembering that on keto, one eats only the four berries I listed first. But then I just plain and simply stopped all fruit...this has been just in the last week...because I didn't feel very good after eating it. Now I realize why; I'm battling NAFLD after more than six decades of eating a "normal" diet, and my doctor isn't at all happy with me for having "gone on a fad diet (keto)." He'd be even less happy if he knew I've switched to carnivore/ketovore, about 90/10, but I'm feeling better, so I'm keeping it up. I have a huge amount of weight to lose---again---and I'm just going to stay on this path!
Dr. Berry - I just discovered you, and the carnivore diet, about a month ago. After watching several of your videos decided to give it a try, to help with both joint pain and depression. So two weeks in, I can say was seeing great improvement in both areas. Then Covid hit, and while my (severe) joint pain hasn't returned, my depression has, pretty badly. I'm hopeful you may be able to provide some insight or knowledge about carnivores with MH issues, who get sick...does the depression return? I have stayed complete carnivore with mostly ribeye/T-bone steaks and bacon, eggs (yolk especially) and an occassional Avocado. Also cod liver oil and a Tbls. of Keto Chow daily mineral each day. And thanks so much for all you do - I've learned so much and my family is extremely impressed, and it is only the beginning!
I occasionally take some collagen powder. It may help with joint pain. Collagen is used in skin, nails, bones, and connective tissue. Dr. Berry advises us to get our collagen from the food we eat instead of from a supplement powder, but I still use the powder. There are many "types" of collagen which are indicated by Roman Numerals. The most common powder is Type I & Type III (both good for skin and bones). Type II is good for connective tissue (ligaments and tendons). There are some reports that taking too much powder can lead to kidney stones or gall stones, but this is very rare. Type I & III come as a powder. The recommended amout is a "scoop full" using the scoop included with the product. Type II is also a powder but it typically comes in a gel capsule. I keep finding better and better collagen products. I just purchased Ancient Nutrition Multi Collagen Protein. It has collagen type I, II, III, V, and X.
@@c_b5060 thanks for that insight! I'm only on my 4th week of strict carnivore (with lots of fatty meat, eating cartilage/bristle too - things I used to avoid) and my joints feel so much better already! Can't wait to see what a few months does.
@@chaz6399 the one with Chris Palmer was one of the first I saw, and probably the biggest reason I dove into full Carnivore. Have not seen the one with Georgia Ede yet I don't believe so will check that out also. Thank you!
I have wild apple trees near me. Very sour. You would really half to be hungry to eat them. I also forage for wild blueberries. They are sweet, small, hard to collect and you half to beat the bears to them. You also half to keep an eye open for those bears while picking them.
Hmm, I have a good friend who is a vegan, lives in Costa Rica snd eats primarily fruit. He is 78, looks to be in his 50s with near perfect health. My father lived to be 101 and died of pneumonia, otherwise enjoyed near perfect health until the end, he ate large amounts of fruit and only vegetables. I enjoy berries and at 68 have enjoyed extremely good health for decades, follow the Mediterranean/keto diet. Don’t think this video applies to people who don’t have fatty liver disease.
You are correct in your observations. This video is for those who have already compromised health. They need to be more restrictive with their dietary choices.
I have a patient soon to be 103 mind is excellent, can still run 😳, she is significantly overweight! So does this mean that because of a few isolated case’s where people beat the odds that we should all assume we will be fine if we are significantly overweight or choose to eat fruit in high amounts? I don’t think so…
The good doctor clearly says "too much fruit." Obviously if all your carbs are from fruit - not cereals, sub-ground vegetables or other starchy food, then you may be ok eating mostly fruit.
I read an article from a doctor saying fruit had changed a lot from the 60/70s. Much more sugar in all fruit than long ago. They genetically change up God's perfect fruit. 😭.
My wife won't be happy to hear this because she has NAFLD and lives on fruit. But I've told her for years I felt like she was eating way too much fruit and that might not be that great for her. Now I have definitive data to prove this to her and hopefully will be able to get her drastically reduce her fruit addiction now. Thanks Dr. Berry!
Excellent eye opener doctor and It is a great message as well. Contrary to the popular belief - that eating fruits can lower NAFLD, this proves that you need a bit of everything from fruits, vegetables, carbs and even good fat in to reverse NAFLD. The key is limiting your food intake and giving long times to digest it by the liver.
Will fruit increase your chances of getting Fatty Liver Disease or only make it worse if it already exists? I eat a good amount of fruit during summer, but I’m in really good health.
Great question...I think fruit in moderation can not be bad, especially if it's organic. And people with diabetes shouldn't eat them until they are out of diabetic range 🤷
I have a few issues with the study. 1 it doesn't state the type of fruit, it doesn't say if it was fresh fruit ie it could have been canned or dried with a bunch of sugar. people who already have fatty liver obviously have poor diet choices to begin with. they could have been adding extra sugar to their fruit. I've literally seen my obese family say they eat a lot of fruit. Yeah but it's canned and if you eat fresh you pour sugar on it because it's too tart.
Yeah makes sense it you've already got fatty liver then eating anything with sugar would make it worse because you're already highly insulin resistant. Totally different for people who are metabolically healthy and eat fruit now and then.
I had a doctor who pushed the "China study" book on me. He was adamant that I do a vegan diet or he would no longer have me as a patient. I did by cutting out meat, but over 3 yrs I gained 30 kg by sliding into a hi carb diet.
leave them to the herbivores who have special digestive organs, then est them ( the animals) Gorillas are frugivores but we don’t eat our primates in the temporate zones, or when visiting the tropics.the only issue with animals bred for human consumption is husbandry.
The fruit you need to eat is any Berry, Blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, KenBerry.
I am so grateful to Dr. Berry! I have reversed my diabetes and my fatty liver disease! (oh and lost 100 lbs)
Great job , What did you do to reverse your diabetes? How many times did you eat and what??? I have added fasting and cleaning my diet cause I want to come of the meds. Have a blessed day
How did you do it?
That's fantastic!
Excellent job!
@@bigdog58mc it's simple : eat no carbs. Depending how far you're down the "diabetes-road, you could even pull it off by eating LESS carbs. Buy a glucose meter. Watch what your meals do to your bloodsugar. No carbs= bloodsugar will stay LOWEST. If it's still too high after meals, that means you need to go no carb or at least very low carb ( +- < 20g / day ). If not, you can be less strict...
Thanks, Dr. Berry. We have too many overweight doctors telling us how to lose weight and be healthy.
So many people don't realize that fruit has been bred to have more fructose and that fructose is not good for us! Thank you for sharing about this new research!
Lmfao don’t buy junk, grow you own and it’s not like the stuff you buy at a grocery store.
Also, maybe try not eating too much fruit? Everything in moderation… logical living isn’t hard if you’re not stupid.
@@moneybitches4796 everything in moderation simplifies it a bit too much I think.
A better statement is eat evolutionarily appropriate levels.
Our bodies evolved to detoxify up to certain levels of many compounds.
Exceeding those levels will lead to health issues.
Different people will also have different levels, depending on many factors.
@@moneybitches4796 I agree growing your own is a better option, but the varieties available to grow today are not the fruits of the past.
Yep, they went for looks and sweetness, nutritional value evidently not considered at all, ever.
I lost 30 pounds and reversed my fatty liver in 3 months by going low carb, intermittent fasting and yeah I haven’t had a piece of fruit ever since.
Fantastic news! Did you go Keto too?

Dr.Berry is always up to Date.
I started collagen, and all of my pain is gone. I feel so much better.
Can you elaborate please? What type of product did you use?
Before going keto I had a fruit smoothie daily brainwashed into thinking I was doing something good for my health. (banana, blueberry, grapefruit and sweetened yogurt) I never enjoyed them either ( I actually hate bananas) just thought I needed them. Now I only eat fruit when I crave it and its usually a sour fruit like green apple or grapefruit a couple times a week. Much more enjoyable.
Combining fruit and dairy creates fermentation. No surprise it didn't help you.
I haven't actually been diagnosed with FLD but thought I should make sure I was helping my body. A fruit smoothie every a.m. Who knew? Thank you for the info., though I do feel the fool for my ignorance.
I'm a long time T2 diabetic with excellent control. All fruit is not equal. Seeded berries are ok in limited quantity. Such as strawberries, raspberries and blackberries. It's the carbs folks.
@@clint3856 All fruit have carbs; however, raspberries, strawberries and blueberries have the least amount of carbs.
Omg! You and me both!!😢
There is a serious flaw in the argument.
All the test subjects already have fatty liver, meaning they all have too much sugar in their diets.
Most fruits contain significant amount of fructose (main cause of fatty liver).
And eating more fruits will further increase excess sugar in their diets.
So obviously eating more fruits will make their fatty liver worse.
The cause is likely not eating more fruits, but consuming excessive amount of sugar.
Keto diet + Intermittent Fasting will eliminate Fatty Liver. Also take TUDCA.
Less fruit and no processed sugar. He don't really say how much sugar they eat. Fruit is not considered sugar. Sugar is like juices, or those white crystals in a 5lb bag...the concentrated fruit juices. It didn't bother people too much for a lot of years they put out sugar unless there's the case where wealthy people back in the 1700's got sugar first and got super sick from it so they knew first and quit sugar first and went back to eating meat and a lot of them ate liver to feel better. People slowly got clogged organs with a lot of poisons and they suffer more from sugar now than they ever did. McDonald's etc tries to serve insane amounts of bread and sugar, then there's doughnuts, cake and ice cream. All that is much worse than fruit. but fruit is impossible if mixed with meat, or dairy. The fermentation or longer digestion time, causes fermentation and makes bad bacteria. Ice cream is really bad and yogurt with fruit is bad. Cooked fruit is bad. Bananas are bad, but fresh watery organic fruit that has vitamin C in it is good but it's really hard to digest unless eating alone and away from meat or milk or cheese so the person can load up with bad bacteria and may have to have no fruit at all for a while, just greens fixes it and not cooked greens only fresh. Then meat can be added but it don't digest with greens so again separate the eating into different meals, one with meat one with greens one with fruit. Meat or cheese even yogurt takes so long to digest, it's hours waiting until you can eat fruit again. If the yogurt bacteria is alive, which is rare these days, it digests well.
Well clearly the cause of Fatty Liver is excess sugar, the clear point was that fruit makes fatty liver worse… when people want to lose weight and get back to health people automatically jump to @eat more veggies and fruit that’s the point… genius
Lol, glad you commenters are people with PHDs, NOT LOL
I have cut out most fruit from my diet. I still eat one serving of fruit about every 2-3 days bc it's summer and I enjoy it. But this very little amount of fruit doesn't seem to have affected my body or my health at all. I will check bloodwork in September and see if I'm still okay. Have lost over 60 lbs since converting to a low-carb diet and incorporating intermittent fasting. Thank you Dr. Berry for all your help.
this time of yr its hard to resist the fresh fruit available....but I limit it...haven't drank juice in a long time except occasional tomato juice.
The whole point of this study was to show an excessive high amount of fruit could worsen individuals with a specific condition.
Of course when you have people trying to cash in on and promote extreme dietary agendas like these carnivore proponents do, they will use research like this to extremely claim people should never eat any fruit ever again or its not healthy for anyone, in any quantity blah blah blah.
This is the same extreme militant rhetoric the vegans see when they hear words like "dietary cholesterol", ohh you better go remove all meat from your diet, its got methionine, and heavy metals and all sorts of scary sounding words that studies have found in excessive quantities may promote cancer blah blah blah.
I don't know who are more terrifying the carnivores or the vegan pseudo-science promoters.
don't starve yourself of the essential nutrients of fruit due to flawed dogma , if your body needs it , LISTEN ! just stay away from engineered fruits like bananas and other sugary tropical fruits
This is exactly how it should be done. Seasonally and only few times that season.
Ken you have given me the best advice from a Doctor in my life .
Wow that is amazing and it shows a causation of what fruit does once inside your body. I have NAFLD and was dx over 20 yrs ago. My health is/was going down the toilet. Hashimoto's just over a year ago and generally feeling like I was deteriorating. I found you and Kelly Hogan and have been doing a carnivore diet just for 5 days now. I already have a bit more energy and less pain. You are all saving lives and I hope that more people see these videos and start taking back their health.
Keep working on it, Elly!!👍🏼
I would love to see someone address the greater liver condition, NASH. Would you please do a video on this disease?
Yeah please!
This please as well!
never heard about it.
Yes!
Dr. B has addressed NAFLD and NASH in multiple videos. The best way to treat either is with a keto, ketovore, carnivore diet.
I don't have fatty liver disease and I do intermittent fasting everyday. I also love fruit and I have no intention of giving it up, but mainly eat fruits that are lower in sugar, mostly berries, but still occasionally eat fruits that are higher in sugar, like apples and grapes. I'm all about trying to maintain habits that contribute to good health, but I am not about to give up all the foods I love. Sometimes I think the pursuit of the perfect diet misses the point. Obviously, if you have a condition that would be improved by a strict diet, that's different, but if you are generally healthy and active, particularly if you do IF, I see no reason to drastically limit your fresh fruit intake. Lets use some common sense here.
Generally speaking fruits/vegetables lower fatty liver in the context of a balanced diet.
That doesn't mean once you have fatty liver that excessive intake of certain foods cannot aggrevate or worsen the condition
There needs to be context here, of course all of this is about the carnivore/anti-plant crew trying to scare normal healthy individuals to remove all fruit from their diet.
But hey go eat an excessive saturated fat fad diet which has been shown to worsen fatty liver also.
Complete nonsense. Like telling people to remove all meat from their diet because its a contraindicated risk factor for individuals with kidney disease.
This is the same nonsense rhetoric the vegans use and preying on people with studies like this.
Yes. I'm on low carb keto and eat fruit but watch daily carbs with lower carb fruit. It's not the fruit, it's the carbs.
@Dust Storm Hyperbolic nonsense.
A healthy life is achieved thru balance, not irrational extremes.

Thank you Frank!!
Nice video Doc. Wonder, did they separate a group into what fruit they ate during the trial? I used to eat dried cantaloupe and dried tangerines (bought at Publix) holy cow they were good. My triglycerides went to 900! yep 900, stopped eating those and triglycerides dropped almost 700 points in a matter of days. So I would be interested to see what types, and kinds of fruits these people ate, just curious. Love your videos. BTW
This was one of the problems with the trial. It was done in a country where dried fruit is prevalent and mostly eaten. That's a high concentration of fructose.
Diet doctor certainly agrees with the evaluation but they are always cautious when making claims. I recommend watching diet doctor to see their take on the study.
I just have to say Thank you for doing these videos. I have been diagnosed with NAFLD and at the start of my journey I was gaining weight, eating carbs, etc. but after watching your videos I went on a strict Keto Diet and I have now gone from 166lbs to 131lbs! I'm still trying to lose a few more pounds but I feel so much better. My stomach doesn't bloat like it used to and now after about 3-4 months I am feeling more energetic, I've lost SEVERAL clothes sizes, and my liver enzymes are way lower! My only issue on my CBC is slight ALT elevation. I don't eat much fruit because of the sugar content. Waaaay too much sugar for keto. My main meals are hamburger patties and steak. Not very cheap but it works! I eat chicken breasts every so often but I loved BBQ sauce and that's a no go for me now so I don't enjoy it as much. But thank you again for all your knowledge and for sharing it with us!
damn, I'm more healthy than you and I was 255lbs lol. And here I feel so proud to go down to 215 lbs and feeling ultra healthy. I'm 5'4 so my ideal weight should be 160lbs, im embarassed.
Try making a dressing of half balsamic vinegar, half olive oil...and crush a garlic clove and add it to the mix, then salt and pepper to taste, then shake well, and leave in the spice shelf, not the fridge...as it goes lumpy! Add a teaspoon or 2 over your chicken, you'll be surprised!

Dr. Lustig in a video here on RUclips said an ALT reading over 25 would indicate fatty liver. Last year my ALT read 59 and after a month on carnivore this year it went down to 35. From what Lustig said your doctor won't even address it unless your 2 to 3 times the normal. Why? If it's above 33 I believe it's time to change the diet.
Doctors will usually overlook these numbers, unless it's your cholesterol, even 1 point above the limits, they'll push drugs on you !!.
Why ? Because sadly, most doctors haven't got a clue...
Thanks for all ur advice, I eat very minimal fruit, a couple of frozen berries in my protein smoothie every other day
Years ago I heard a research pediatric doctor from a University Hospital in California and he was researching fatty liver in children. He concluded that it was primarily the massive fruit juice that children drink. He had no agenda other than research. Fructose is mainly processed in the liver and fatty liver is not longer an adult problem
Yes! I never bought the fruit boxes on a regular,, and never gave one kid the entire box. I split it in 3 small juice glasses and filled with water. Or club soda for " soda"
Certainly the high fructose in juices is poison but high fructose corn syrup is in practically every processed product and is even more harmful. I don’t buy anything that comes in a box anymore. My fatty liver disease has been reversed. And there’s no need or reason to ever go back to that old way of eating again.
You mean Dr. Robert Lustig? He has many lectures on the youtube meanwhile....
@Sheila Rider Standard juice glasses are designed to hold 4 oz. of liquid (1/2 cup).
it's true , this bogus trend of processed "juices" is robbing children of benefits of REAL fruit and harming them with the high volumetric sugar content
Great video as always, Dr Berry. Thank you for sharing this much needed information.
I did what you told me to do in March this year...no fruit, sugar or carbs. In June 2022, down 22 lbs, blood work shows, to my doctor's surprise "given your age" (fu$k I'm 61 as if I should step into the incinerator chamber already) that I have totally reversed NAFLD diagnosis, among many other issues.
I’m going to start saying I’m 58 instead of 68! I’m looking f younger!
What do you eat?
There's no end of trolls who come to the defense of fruit with "it's natural, it won't hurt you," and both are wrong. Virtually every fruit is a frankenfruit, and fructose simply cannot be tolerated in large quantities. At least the fructose in vegetables is minute, and accompanied by fiber and other nutrients.
My one fruit a day is an avocado.
in Hawaii people eat tons of fruit all day long. Are they dropping dead all over the place?
Before you start blaming fructose for fatty liver you need to understand the role of choline in the diet and you need to start researching how calling is protective for the liver. This is why you need to eat things like liver and plenty of good source egg yolks
@@macknumber9 You made no sense at all. Maybe reread what you wrote?
@@mickeyc2137 Sure they do, just like the Japanese eat tons of rice (actually, they don't.)
PS: Unlike you, I took the time to check your claim. One of the top hits was "NAFLD: A Pressing Problem for Hawai’i." That was from the University of Hawaii Internal Medicine Residency Program.
@@CarbageMan choline is protective. The most natural diet you can consume is mostly animal based with some fruits as well. Insulin has many important roles in the body...do you think God would make us have certain hormones in the body that are 100% bad and have ZERO positive effects in the body? Insulin is not the devil. Fruit is not the devil. Fructose is not the devil. The problem is not so much WHAT you eat but what you DON'T eat.
I am an obese 60-year-old man diagnosed with prediabetes and a fatty liver. I decided to try out the carnivore diet to lose weight and combat these two issues. By eating 2 meals per day of 1/2 pound of 80% ground beef I have seen some weight reduction in the first month (8 pounds). If I eat anymore meat or fats in a day, I stop losing weight. Otherwise, my blood glucose and other issues seem to be improved. I must admit that 2 quarter pound patties twice per day seems pretty harsh, but I have managed a month and will continue as long as I can. Thanks Dr. Berry.
So the control group ate 2 fruits a day and the liver health markers went down. That doesn't mean no fruits at all. Also, no mention of which fruit types in the study. Some fruits have less fructose than others. Seems like eating fruits moderately can be beneficial as a part of a healthy balanced diet.
Yes. The flaw in the study was how many total carbs per day. Our bodies turn food into glucose, fat or protein. The same study could be done with anything with carbs.
@@stuarthutt3740 agreed fruits should not be paired with anything else like a sandwich and grapes etc. or a fruit smoothie AND breakfast like no... I believe that's how most people are taught to consume fruits "with whatever" it but if you went on an all fruit diet and nothing else your body can heal a lot of ailments. Too many testimonies have proven it. But knowing when and how much fruit to consume is key because lets get real if you ate the whole bag of cherries in one sitting then that's your answer of why fruit is adding fuel to the fire theres a time and a place to eat fruits and should not be paired with other fruits and on salads with dressings and all of that or else yes the wrong pairings and too close to other meals can do more harm than good, but its not the single fruit alone by itself causing the harm. If you do a fruit smoothie make it a berry smoothie with nothing else by itself and for breakfast ONLY...or instead of a fruit smoothie do a green smoothie with leafy greens and avocado or leafy greens and ones single green apple for breakfast or as a meal replacement but not a smoothie with the whole fruit section from the grocery store or right before you eat lunch lol
I saw the baby pictures. She is beautiful! Congratulations to you!
Excellent topic for this time of year, so a profound thank you from a T2 diabetic. However, it would be useful to know what was considered a 'fruit' for this study. Many 'vegetables', such as tomatoes, are considered vegetables but are in fact fruits and some varieties (certainly the more popular varieties) are quite sweet after ripening in a strong sun. Same with peppers and other vegetables where we eat the 'fruit' and not the leaf. Even some root veggies, like sweet potatoes, are often problematic for sugar sensitive challenges, and many people don't know the difference or the risk.
Thanks for all the good information you put out there for us.
If it is sweet, then it has fructose. Don't eat it.

@@glassdaft That's what I am curious about. As a diabetic I have made it my business to know what I can and cannot eat, but people who are unknowingly, or knowingly, at risk of significant liver disease may not have done that. Just sayin'.
He also mean strawberries 🍓 blueberries 🫐 yes even blue berries if you have a fatty live. Your best bet is just to stay away from that part of the store unless you love lemons 🍋 those are great for a fatty liver.
Keep preaching it!
I wish they had kept track of everything else they ate. I know from myself that once I eat a carb (fruit) I crave more carbs. The point is if they ate the fruit they may have also ate more other carbs. Unless they are eating exactly the same things except for the fruit amounts, it's not proving anything in my opinion. All though I do agree with fructose being bad, very carby and problematic.
You're so awesome! Thank you for sharing!
That’s what I’ve been advised to eat and have fatty liver. I was eating lots of fruits and veggies. Not anymore. Eat mostly meat and little non starchy veggies.
Lin Cho But how long will it take you to reverse any possible damage you may have done?
...@@gracecotton9819 Usually abouut 8 to 12 months, if permanent damage hasn't been done. I recently went 1000 kilometers to an Endocrine specialist in Belgrade, Serbia, to have scans, ultrasounds, blood sugar etc etc tests and she also said to quit the carbs and check all foods for their GI index count and keep it low, do hard exercise 20 mins after eating ...for 30 mins, so the pancreas doesn't have to squirt out insulin, and walk as much as you can in the year to take the pressure off the liver and pancreas, take vit D, 4000 u for 2 months then 2,000 u thereafter, plus omega 3 capsules and a wild red rice and milkthistle capsule because I have no gall bladder. Am back to jogging daily, can mow my huge paddock for 3 hours, non stop etc. Had no weight issue, but had been a glutton on fresh fruits I grew abundantly...nearly put me in the grave last year! This guy and Dr Berg's vids gave me the info that really did save my life. Thankyou.
@@gracecotton9819 Hi, I was diagnosed back in 2018 with mild fatty liver. Had ultrasound last June, results very mild fatty liver, no worse than initial diagnosis, so it's not completely reversed. Have only been on Keto since last Nov. 2021.
@@lincho7662 I guess the fact that it hasn't become any worse is a good sign. Do hope you've caught it in time.
@@Marylmac I am surprised that hard exercise only 20 mins after eating was recommended. It takes longer than that for the body to digest food, and the body needs all the energy it can get for digesting, not for exercise. I wonder if this was the reason why, as kids, we often experienced 'stitches'. Still, it must have worked for you if you can mow a paddock for 3 hours! That is some achievement.
What is a shame is that you grew fruit that you can't eat. I am in a similar situation with growing fruit, and try to limit the amount I have each day whilst it is available. I have loads of strawberries, gooseberries, raspberries, and blueberries in the freezer. Because of oxalates, the only vegetables grown this year are cabbage and peas, apart from onion and garlic, which I don't have a problem with.
Do hope you are better able to manage a little fruit by this time next year.
Wow!! Terrific study!!
I would like to point out that table sugar is also almost half fructose. That is why it should be avoided as well.
AVOIDED ????? are you joking ? ITS POISON !!!!!!!!
Thank you for going over this important double blind study.
I was diagnosed with a fatty liver.. I had a large amount of alt in my bloods.. consistently found I was having yellow poop for months ect.. I followed your carnivore and found myself deficient is some vitamins so slowly moved to keto. Keto worked fine with me whilst following all your recommendations whilst eating berries and kiwi and boom. Alt went down, lost 8 pounds since I'm not overweight and not seen a yellow poop since. You are amazing. 👏
kiwis are high in oxalates, bad idea to eat them regularly.
Ohh damn didn't realise.. ill change that :)
What vitamins have you been missing on your carnivore diet? What are the best keto foods to fix these deficiencies except fruits?
@@KaiDadswellUK they have a kind of stingy feel to them don't they? makes the corners of ur mouth sore..listening to ur instincts isn't such a bad idea it turns out.
@@vitali4668 Just eat liver once a week, more vitamins than any thing from the plant world.
Thank you Dr Berry 🙏
There seems to be a big push in some of the carnivore keto community to have large amounts of fruit and/or honey. Small amounts for healthy people is possibly OK, but so many people have bad liver health and so this would not be a good idea.
Sugar addicts
Younger adults that have good daily exercise workouts and don’t eat surgery foods, seed oils, and processed foods maybe could get away with eating/drinking fruits and honey, but in older people with their older insulin resistant and leptin resistant bodies, the fructose and glucose from fruit and honey would wreck poisonous havoc on their livers, blood insulin and triglyceride levels, and body chemistry.
If you are not active and fit...sure. But you also can't compare processed fructose (high fructose)with the levels of fructose in fruit. Two completely different things. Don't think anyone believes fruitarians are healthy.
This is what happens when you box yourself into ridiculous dangerous "zero carb" extreme all meat/beef/animal food faddy diets that have abolutely zero dietary fiber rich whole plant-foods.
All these fake carnivore "gurus" regularly cheat with a variety of plant-foods and much like the fake "100% raw vegan gurus" just consistently lie to their fans about what they eat.
Got people claiming they live off mcdonalds quarter pounders for 13+ years now hahahahahaa
Yup. Fruit is carbs. Count the total daily carbs. Carbs will throw you out of ketosis.
Thank you Dr. Berry for sharing this very important information.
I don't even have to watch this to say it's all true. In 2012 I was 150 lbs. no T2D, started eating "healthy", fruit, veggies, whole grains. Gained 40lbs. became T2D over next 3 to 4 years. Now on Keto no T2D, down to 150lbs., A1C 5.1, Trig in the 50's, HDL in the 60's.
Awesome!!👍🏼👍🏼
I had the opposite outcome. Maybe it depends on the person. I was pre-diabetic, high bp, and 178lbs. I cut out all meat , dairy, bread, pasta, and junk/processed food. I did 16 hour intermittent fasting and water fasting. I ate whole foods, fruit, veggies, nuts, seeds, etc. The Weight melted off without any exercise. I reversed pre-diabetes came off both bp meds and now weigh 123 lbs. And I am still holding steady 2yr later. I just recently added tuna and salmon to my diet in small portions. I'm glad you were able to find what worked for you. Our health is our greatest wealth!!!
thats very subjective and it maybe true for YOU but it certainly is not "all true" . you'd better watch it with that arrogance . even tho the carbs of grains and sugars in some fruits will cause your problems remember there are a lot of other metabolic factors at work . people like you are fad followers and never balance your actions with common sense . were you eating enough meat and protein at that time or OVERCONSUMING CARBS to attempt to fill the void ?
@@tanmusicch EVOO on salad, some nuts on a rare occasion, no seeds. Still do about the same amount of EVOO and nuts.
@@tanmusicch Thanks!!!! I decided to add salmon/tuna for protein and omega 3 benefits. I like adding them to my salads.
I will usually add one full can of tuna to my salad. I buy the frozen salmon and cook in the oven and add to my Salad. Sometimes I use canned salmon. I have not heard of that movie. I will have to check it out. I watched Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead part 1 and that opened my eyes.
revisiting, as usual, excellent
Dr baker made a post about this exact study a week ago you can check it out there too …. He had to post another video from all the backlash from saying fruit is not good . The study was about ppl who were unhealthy with fatty liver this study was NOT done on healthy ppl without fatty liver . So some ppl eat a small serving of fruit without any issues so it’s all context
Thanks for the video and the link to the article. Do you know what constitutes a “serving”?
They didn’t specify in the article.
Love the vlogs. Quick notes to consider: I always had excellent cholesteral and HDLs, as well as excellent LDL. After 3 years of keto, all of sudden cholesteral at 211 and LDLs high but not super high... but HDLs still very high at 75. Trigly fine, glucose fine, etc. I went to a cardiologist, never met before, for a 64 yr old baseline. Because of the parental and grandparents family history of heart disease, he viewed the lab report and without speaking with me as to my current diet, etc, (very careful about drugs, very liver conscious etc) he announces "you are laying down plaque and you need to be on a statin". Immediately, I was trying to find the door Without speaking to me, made his judgement on me, the one LDL level.....and after my echo said my heart was fine. SO, I am not going back, his last comments to me, as he scheduled another test of vast expense, "and when you come back, I will try talking you into a statin". mind you, never met this man. I have been a long decades long pure eater, due to fibromyalgia, arthritis, and other diet allergies...I watch you religiously and Dr Berg, I am no stranger to no sugar, grains, alcohol, junk food, etc...the past three months, have stopped eggs, cheese, dairy (except for nonfat greek with probiotics) and am eating more vegies, only two meals a day and I have been fasting for 16-18 hrs for over 3 years now... The bottom line while visiting my endocrinologist checkup for hypothyroid....she ordered the calcium test and i told me to stop the supplements for next 3 months as what I was taking had calcium in them...too much. My calcium will be taken in about a week. Cant wait. I will also have blood work redone. Once i get ldl under according to medical community guidelines, I can reintroduce eggs couple times a week and cheese once in a while. I am going to monitor my supplements. IT WAS MY Endo doctor who has been working with me for 15 yrs, and can look at the entire history of my labs to know it was very stupid to try putting me on a statin. It will never happen as long as I control my diet...
May i ask what supplements you were on?
Are you taking K2 and Hawthorn? Also, have you had a coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring, carotid intima-media thickness test (CIMT), oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), or ankle brachial index test (ABI), these are great tests to determine your overall health.
I take things to calm my gut and for digestive issues really,like a digestive plus enzyme,collegen powder, probiotic, lemon water and acv and of course vit d with k. Looking to take bile salts too to help the gallbladder along, and mega b complex daily
I AM NOT A DOCTOR. 62 YO. with diabetes. What I have found works wonders is 3-4 veggies cooked in olive oil for breakfast. Soften the veggies, then crack an egg and throw handfull of fresh spinach and cheese on top. Phenomenal nutrition and good for several hours for food.
13,000 autopsies in South Korea showed that the people with low cholesterol died early people with high cholesterol lived longer cholesterol is needed it's brain food I'd like for my cholesterol to be up at 211
Thanks, this was so interesting an helpful.
Congrats on getting through that long "tongue-twister" too !!!
I haven't been officially diagnosed with NAFLD, but I think I have it. In the past, I would eat fruit because the food guide says to eat 5-10 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Of course, I would eat 4 servings of fruit a day to try to follow the guide, including using juices as at least one of the servings. I thought I was being healthy. I've been carnivore for three months and, thankfully, have brought the horrifying inflammation I've been suffering from WAY down. No doubt that fruit was a major cause of the inflammation and God knows what is really wrong inside, which I'm hoping I fix, fingers crossed.
It is the bad processed foods and sugar that screws up our metobolic system and then in turn we have problems. Fruits does not mess with your metobolic system. But once you have ailments... Then limited fruit may be what some people need.
Have you looked at TUDCA supplementation? I'm going to give it a try to see if that is what is causing my digestive issues.
Great video Ken, but I'd drop the video glitch effect at the beginning of the video
I hope many ppl watch this video!!!
Dr. Berry please elaborate on eating dry fruits. Thanks
I love your work, and you have helped change my life, so I don’t want this taken the wrong way, but I am kind of surprised you picked this study.
Here is the abstract:
“Eighty adults with NAFLD participated in this randomized controlled trial. The participants were randomly assigned to the FRD group with consumption of at least 4 servings of fruits daily or the control group with fruits consumption of less than 2 servings/day.”
That’s it. That’s all they were told. We have no idea what else they were eating or drinking. To say that fruit is the only cause for the results is wildly inaccurate (unless I missed something).
As someone who is doing carnivore, I recently experimented with fruit in the mornings (per Saladino’s studies). I honestly haven’t felt better. Fruit (specifically organic berries, maybe an occasional apple or banana) feels right to me when it comes to starting my day. Sometimes it’s harder to stomach a bowl of fatty beef and eggs. Sometimes I would eat less because I would lose my appetite and would wind up hungry mid day. Eating some fruit curbed this for me. Granted everyone is different, and needs to do what’s right for them, but I think certain fruit in moderation can be good.
I agree 👍 I actually feel worse if I eat too much in the morning but feel okay with berries or banana 🍌
THANK YOU for pointing this out! fruit is high in nutrients and fiber and is a natural detoxifer. Its necessary. There are people who have reversed all of their chronic illnesses being fruitarians.
Many carnivores would say that if you´re not in the mood to ¨stomach a bowl of fatty beef and eggs¨, then you´re not truly hungry and are trying to force yourself to eat breakfast. Not saying this is the case with you, but it´s worth considering. As for fruit, it´s nothing like the fruit our ancestors had access to, so it can´t possibly be good for us these days with all the sugar/fructose that´s in it. To each their own, though...
@Texasgirlinacrazyworld every time I see a nutrition "expert" who demonizes entire food groups I'm always skeptical. Dr. Berg does the same thing. He also tells people that cleaning out your colon is bad for you and not necessary and I'm a colon hydrotherapist and after 11 years giving tens of thousands of people colonics plus hundreds on myself I can attest that he is 100% wrong about that. Also 5 years ago he spoke at our colon hydrotherapy convention praising the benefits of colonics. Super shady
@@mickeyc2137 Of course! Normally I never comment, but on this video I just felt compelled to. I agree that fruit is full of nutrients and is arguably necessary. To me, it makes sense that the only part of a plant that is supposed to be eaten is the fruit as they want us to spread their seeds. I also think too much fruit isn’t good, as is too much of anything.
Great video Dr Berry 👍
If you're consuming fruit it needs to be organic and in season in your local area. Consuming fruit out of season or from a different climate can disrupt your metabolism.
A factually wrong comment! Modern fruits are just toxic tree candies!
@@thalesnemo2841 There are still ways to get organic fruits that are closer to their original form. Certain farms by me grow them and they are way different from store bought garbage.
great content thanks
It was an RCT on a sick population no doubt.
I'd be curious to see how it would be on a low carb diet, carnifruit diet, and vegan diet in comparison to (guessing) a SAD group.
You also mentioned dried fruit and that already rings some warning bells in my mind. Wish it was whole fruits only, or even better, specific fruits daily, instead of eat this big group as you want.
But need to read the study myself, just going from the video, haha.
Exactly
On a fruitarian diet (3+ years), my insulin stayed around a 6, my BMI did not increase, HbA1c was optimal, no weight gain, and many others would report the same. So there's likely some flaw in this study (were the participants eating fresh fruit vs canned fruit, dole cups, dried fruit, ice cream snacks with fruit on it etc?)
Not to say that excess fruit can't cause fatty liver, but something in this study is off if all these biomarkers increased from 4 servings of fruit a day)
Not to mention the dozens of other studies that show fruit reverses fatty liver
@@ActivateTrueHealth I agree!
@@ActivateTrueHealth I agree because there are many people online doing raw vegan or even fruitarian diets that look & feel great! But, I often wonder if ONLY eating fruit is the healthiest option, since veggies provide their own type of nutrition? I don't currently eat meat, but went from vegan to vegetarian in order to be able to eat eggs for nutrition.
@@IQ-zt5gd yeah I agree , I don't think only fruit is healthy long term
I also started to incorporate some animal products for nutrients I was missing, but I still eat loads of fruit.
Great information. Thank you.
I eat mostly avocado and berries (they're more diabetes friendly), plus lemonade/limeade (no sugar added), and SGOT and SGPT are getting better
Moreover, the result above is also of what I had low carb diet in past 4 months

@@abideenturky Why ?
@@abideenturky you may be on the wrong channel 😄
I'll follow your advice doc.
It's easy to fall into that trap with fruit. It's fresh, but can be addicting (because of the amount of sugar in certain fruits) IE: bananas, etc. With all things, moderation, and know what you're consuming! Thanks for the video!
(When I say everything in moderation, I'm not including fruits, processed sugars, Twinkies, etc. I'm referring to overeating keto safe food, when on a keto diet, and that's why I mentioned "know what you're consuming".
@@CarportCarl precisely! (That was my reference 😉🙌☝️)
Most people cannot do moderation. It is best to avoid.
Be careful with that moderation.
Dr. Berry doesn’t believe in eating bad things in moderation and certainly not “all things in moderation,” as he has explained in many of his videos.
"All things in moderation" is a fallacy because it includes "all things". Not all things are good for us. Some things are bad for us...fruit is one of them.
Thank you for another great video. Love to you and your beautiful family.
Interesting. How much in grams did they consider to be a "serving"? Also the fructose varies greatly between tropical sweet fruits and something like berries. IMO, "servings" should be measured in grams of fructose, not grams of the actual fruit.
Blueberries and strawberries do have less sugar than other types of modern fruit. Drinking orange juice is even worse than drinking soda when it comes to the sugar.
HA HA ! you caught that right away , actually we don't even know if juices or processed fruits were included
@@bobsaturday4273 Right. They could have considered one extra large Jamba Juice smoothie to be "a serving".
I’m not on Facebook or anything and I’ve just been wondering if little Bonnie was brought into the world ?😍. I pray Neisha and baby and family is all okay.
Yes. Dr. Berry posted a photo on his Patreon site. Mommy and baby are doing well.
Thank you!
… about the only fruit I consume on a regular basis are avocados and tomatoes … oh … and lots of lemons ! … edit: I just found out today that cucumbers are a fruit 🤔🤷🏼♀️ …
Dr. Berry's videos are a must watch!
3 years or so ago I'd have found this information fascinating! But after 2ish years on a "primal" diet, then upwards of a year of Ketovore (heavy on the Carnivore side), I'm like, 'Fruit makes fatty liver worse?' Well, DUHHH!!! 😄
Keep on teachin', Doc. ❤🙏❤/
💪❤
Duh right.
But of course excessive saturated fat all meat/animal food faddy carnivore "diets" are "fine".....
I mean numerous studies haven't also found that diets rich in saturated fat can worsen fatty liver.
"Diets rich in saturated fatty acids induce a greater increase in liver fat and insulin resistance compared with isocaloric diets enriched with monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fatty acids "
"Overfeeding saturated fats increased liver triglycerides more (+55%) than unsaturated fats (+15%, P < 0.05)."
"Effects differ dependent upon carbohydrate and fat type. Saturated fat and fructose induce the greatest increase in intrahepatic triglycerides (IHTG), insulin resistance, and harmful ceramides compared with unsaturated fats, which have been found to be protective"
"Saturated Fat Increases Risk for Liver Disease More than Sugar or Unsaturated Fat. Saturated fat intake is more harmful to the liver than sugar or unsaturated fat, according to a new study published in Diabetes Care."
Don't worry you'll never hear about any of this research on a channel like this.
@@evidence-basedhealthuk5271 Well, 3ish years into it, I feel better than ever. 💪❤. But, as ever, time will tell... ❤🙏❤
Well explained
I eat 4 eggs 🥚 and 5 pieces of bacon 🥓 every morning for breakfast. I don’t eat hardly any fruit. Since I’m doing a ketogenic/carnivore diet I’ve hardly been snacking since. I eat German Meica sausages and they are high in saturated fat and cholesterol. Thank you Dr Berry.
Oh dang it...now I need to go in search of these German sausages...🤤🤤🤤
Try eating like this for too long and I guarantee you will start feeling fatigued and a host of issues will start cropping up. Too much fat is a real cause of fatty liver. Fat makes your blood thick and makes it more difficult for your liver to filter. Pretty basic common sense actually.
Imagine thinking bacon of all things is healthy 😂😂😂 you’re just a glutton
Thanks for all you do. What about these super fruit supplements that is supposed to be concentrated fruit. Would they also be included in the fruit category?
As a CPT and Nutrition coach it is extremely difficult to convince people seeking better health that fruit is counter productive. They will site GI, fiber and vitamins. I think if I showed this video they would say, but I don’t have a fatty liver!!! Of coarse in many cases it is that their doctor hasn’t diagnosed them with fatty liver!!!
On one of Dr. Cate Shanahan's podcasts she mentioned that 25% of Americans have Fatty Liver Disease so it's a very significant amount.
I was diagnosed with fatty liver about 20 years ago. BUT I wasn't told what I could do about it. Thankfully I started low carb in October 2021 and I my blood test results are good in all areas. My ALT has gone from 45 down to 22. I will be getting a scan done at the 1 year more and I have the other scans to compare it with. I am expecting the scans to show that my fatty liver has improved, but what I am really interested in is by how much.
I just asked my doctor to check my liver enzymes. Over the past 10 years my body has been overheating with very little exertion and I know it's not hormone related.
I became suspicious of fatty liver when the symptom improved with intermittent fasting.
Susana Heinz has a video on her channel Science with Susanna that explains how the cell structures in the liver change as it accumulates more fat. Very easy to follow.
", but I don’t have a fatty liver" LOL
Thank you Dr. B❤
I just want to give a small healing testimony. Because of you and a few others that drive the carnivore lifestyle change hard, my body is healing. History: I was diagnosed with GERD (acid reflux) when I was 20 and have been on omeprizole for 25 years straight. I was also diagnosed with HCM (enlarged heart) when I was 28 and had first heart attack at age of 34. No clogged arteries and healthy otherwise. To top it off I got a severe cold/flu (COVID-19) a year ago this week and all of a sudden became sensitive/allergic to several foods I’ve eaten my entire life such as pineapple and walnuts. I’ve had sores in my mouth, nose and throat since July 2021 until about 3 weeks ago. Suffered for a year and Doctor’s could not help make them go away. I’ve been on several steroids and oral rinses time and time again. I found one of your videos about carnivore way of eating and within 10 days the sores inside my throat that drove me crazy healed, a few days later all sores on tongue and inside lips healed, 4 days after that the huge sore inside my left nostril healed. The sores that medication and expensive doctors could not touch was all healed by eating a meat only diet. My cardiologist said to stop eating only meat (I will not). I’ve stopped taking omeprizole last week and although not perfect I feel like my acid reflux is even getting better. I wanted to share this with you to say thank you.
This makes sense. My doctor told me to reduce the amount of sugar intake and fruit has lots of sugar in it. Thanks for sharing this.
What got me to quit fruit was when we were taught that all fructoses have to go thru the liver to be processed. If your liver is already compromised, why in the world would you make it work harder, especially after hearing these research results?
Why would you make it work even harder with an excessive saturated fat rich intake from an all meat/animal food "carnivore fad diet"?
That's shown to be equally as bad if not worse than fructose for fatty liver....
"Diets rich in saturated fatty acids induce a greater increase in liver fat and insulin resistance compared with isocaloric diets enriched with monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fatty acids "
"Overfeeding saturated fats increased liver triglycerides more (+55%) than unsaturated fats (+15%, P < 0.05)."

@@evidence-basedhealthuk5271 I agree with you here. No one speaks of what a high saturated fat diet will do over LONG term.

Moderation and balance are the key. Can we all stop fighting now :)
I only eat fruit in season and usually what I grow.
new research shows too much fruit worsens, moderate amount was beneficial. lets not leave that small detail out.
Thank you for the information. Im on the journey!
Thank you for this information, Dr. Berry. I've been eating some berries---strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries---and did eat some peach slices and some cherries before remembering that on keto, one eats only the four berries I listed first.
But then I just plain and simply stopped all fruit...this has been just in the last week...because I didn't feel very good after eating it.
Now I realize why; I'm battling NAFLD after more than six decades of eating a "normal" diet, and my doctor isn't at all happy with me for having "gone on a fad diet (keto)." He'd be even less happy if he knew I've switched to carnivore/ketovore, about 90/10, but I'm feeling better, so I'm keeping it up. I have a huge amount of weight to lose---again---and I'm just going to stay on this path!
Dr. Berry - I just discovered you, and the carnivore diet, about a month ago. After watching several of your videos decided to give it a try, to help with both joint pain and depression. So two weeks in, I can say was seeing great improvement in both areas. Then Covid hit, and while my (severe) joint pain hasn't returned, my depression has, pretty badly. I'm hopeful you may be able to provide some insight or knowledge about carnivores with MH issues, who get sick...does the depression return?
I have stayed complete carnivore with mostly ribeye/T-bone steaks and bacon, eggs (yolk especially) and an occassional Avocado. Also cod liver oil and a Tbls. of Keto Chow daily mineral each day. And thanks so much for all you do - I've learned so much and my family is extremely impressed, and it is only the beginning!
I occasionally take some collagen powder. It may help with joint pain. Collagen is used in skin, nails, bones, and connective tissue. Dr. Berry advises us to get our collagen from the food we eat instead of from a supplement powder, but I still use the powder. There are many "types" of collagen which are indicated by Roman Numerals. The most common powder is Type I & Type III (both good for skin and bones). Type II is good for connective tissue (ligaments and tendons). There are some reports that taking too much powder can lead to kidney stones or gall stones, but this is very rare. Type I & III come as a powder. The recommended amout is a "scoop full" using the scoop included with the product. Type II is also a powder but it typically comes in a gel capsule. I keep finding better and better collagen products. I just purchased Ancient Nutrition Multi Collagen Protein. It has collagen type I, II, III, V, and X.

Hmm, I have a good friend who is a vegan, lives in Costa Rica snd eats primarily fruit. He is 78, looks to be in his 50s with near perfect health. My father lived to be 101 and died of pneumonia, otherwise enjoyed near perfect health until the end, he ate large amounts of fruit and only vegetables. I enjoy berries and at 68 have enjoyed extremely good health for decades, follow the Mediterranean/keto diet. Don’t think this video applies to people who don’t have fatty liver disease.
Or people who eat too much, everything in moderation
You are correct in your observations. This video is for those who have already compromised health. They need to be more restrictive with their dietary choices.
Hense "fatty liver" lol
I have a patient soon to be 103 mind is excellent, can still run 😳, she is significantly overweight! So does this mean that because of a few isolated case’s where people beat the odds that we should all assume we will be fine if we are significantly overweight or choose to eat fruit in high amounts? I don’t think so…
The good doctor clearly says "too much fruit." Obviously if all your carbs are from fruit - not cereals, sub-ground vegetables or other starchy food, then you may be ok eating mostly fruit.
Congrats, Daddy! You look so happy and Mom looks so satisfied.
I read an article from a doctor saying fruit had changed a lot from the 60/70s. Much more sugar in all fruit than long ago. They genetically change up God's perfect fruit. 😭.
Thank you Dr. Ken!!!
I really appreciate hearing the truth!!!
This study makes no mention of other things these people were eating. Flawed study. Also, all of these subjects already had fatty liver.
I have to wonder, what else were they eating?? That could have made a ton of difference.
My wife won't be happy to hear this because she has NAFLD and lives on fruit. But I've told her for years I felt like she was eating way too much fruit and that might not be that great for her. Now I have definitive data to prove this to her and hopefully will be able to get her drastically reduce her fruit addiction now. Thanks Dr. Berry!
@MAGA Extremist 😄😄😄
Omg!!! , I luv fruits also. Too think that Iam eating healthy
Excellent eye opener doctor and It is a great message as well. Contrary to the popular belief - that eating fruits can lower NAFLD, this proves that you need a bit of everything from fruits, vegetables, carbs and even good fat in to reverse NAFLD. The key is limiting your food intake and giving long times to digest it by the liver.
Will fruit increase your chances of getting Fatty Liver Disease or only make it worse if it already exists? I eat a good amount of fruit during summer, but I’m in really good health.
Was wondering the same. I love my berries and very rarely occasional watermelon or cantaloupe.
Great question...I think fruit in moderation can not be bad, especially if it's organic. And people with diabetes shouldn't eat them until they are out of diabetic range 🤷
Check amount of fructose
I choose those low is fructose (avocado, berries, lemon/lime)
I eat less high sweetness stuff though
It depends on which fruit you're eating.
@@boink800 cucumbers are probably fine.
as always....GRRRReat info Doctor.
I have a few issues with the study. 1 it doesn't state the type of fruit, it doesn't say if it was fresh fruit ie it could have been canned or dried with a bunch of sugar. people who already have fatty liver obviously have poor diet choices to begin with. they could have been adding extra sugar to their fruit. I've literally seen my obese family say they eat a lot of fruit. Yeah but it's canned and if you eat fresh you pour sugar on it because it's too tart.
1000%. Fresh fruit is good for us!
Yes and the daily total carbs never mentioned
I really appreciate videos like this. I helps to keep me encouraged and sticking to my low carb way of eating. Thank you.
Yeah makes sense it you've already got fatty liver then eating anything with sugar would make it worse because you're already highly insulin resistant.
Totally different for people who are metabolically healthy and eat fruit now and then.
I have a few strawberries blueberries and raspberries in the summer. Not daily but a few times in the summer. 😊
Bad girl, you need some punishment from daddy.
@dr ken berry, can you make a video addressing the "China diet" study? Have a friend who swears keto is bad because of the "china diet study"
I had a doctor who pushed the "China study" book on me. He was adamant that I do a vegan diet or he would no longer have me as a patient. I did by cutting out meat, but over 3 yrs I gained 30 kg by sliding into a hi carb diet.
Damn, that's pretty alarming..Need to rethink.
Coming next week Vegatables will now be considered bad for human consumption. Come on man .
they are actually.
We've been lied to by those who grow and sell vegetables. (Nobody would ever DARE lie to YOU, would they?) "Half of what you know, ain't so."
leave them to the herbivores who have special digestive organs, then est them ( the animals) Gorillas are frugivores but we don’t eat our primates in the temporate zones, or when visiting the tropics.the only issue with animals bred for human consumption is husbandry.
