- From keto to vegan to Mediterranean to paleo, advice on nutrition and supplementation is confusing and conflicting at the best of times. So what should we actually eat for optimal health? As a practicing clinician and academic researcher for over forty years, bestselling author and paediatric neuro-endocrinologist Dr Robert Lustig is well qualified to advise us on the science of how to protect and cultivate good health in the face of conflicting agendas and advice.
Dr Robert Lustig is Professor emeritus of Pediatrics, Division of Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). He specializes in the field of neuroendocrinology, with an emphasis on the regulation of energy balance by the central nervous system. His research and clinical practice has focused on childhood obesity and diabetes. Dr. Lustig holds a Bachelor’s in Science from MIT, a Doctorate in Medicine from Cornell University. Medical College, and a Master’s of Studies in Law from U.C. Hastings College of the Law. On RUclips, Robert has been featured on Bracia Rodzeń, Dr Rangan Chatterjee, ABC News, Dhru Purohit, Low Carb Down Under, KenDBerryMD, Levels, Sol Food Salon, FitMind, Commune, 10 Lessons it took me 50 years to learn and many more.

Are we eating animals with metabolic syndrome fattened up for corporate profit or are we ourselves being treated like feed lot animals (AKA supermarkets), fattened up for corporate profit?
Eating fatty animal sourced foods is far far better than the rubbish toxic high carbohydrates ultra processed “foods” !
Thanks for a great talk. One point which I find missing is that some plants have mechanisms that prevent the body from digesting them and can actually even harm the body or rob it of nutrients. There are basically two ways which we use to overcome that and they are sprouting and cooking.
Watch Dr. Anthony Chaffee’s “Plants are Trying to Kill Us” video on RUclips.
"There are basically two ways which we use to overcome that and they are sprouting and cooking."
The best and healthiest way is to feed the plant to herbivores and eat those herbivores...
@@btudrus 😂😂😂 that's the way! keep the farting to the animals
@btudrus but so time consuming and wasteful.
Or just avoid carbs altogether is the safest & healthiest.
The conversation in the middle of this video, about cows and corn and intramuscular fat. As a primary care provider, I have OFTEN made this point when discussing nutrition and working to achieve a better understanding of the bad info we have been "fed" over the years. Most people think of corn as a vegetable. I tell my patients, NO . . . its a GRAIN. After water, it's the main ingredient in coca cola (high fructose CORN syrup). If you want to fatten a cow for slaughter, what do you feed it? CORN. By all means, especially if you live in the Midwest of the U.S., you deserve the luxury of eating a few cobs of fresh sweet corn at the end of every summer. Ya gotta live a little. But corn consumed as your primary "vegetable" side dish, and in constant tortillas, and Frito chips, and "healthy" wraps, and in the ubiquitous syrup dumped into every other food, and on and on . . . not good for you.
The term "corn fed" being used to describe overweight people doesn't come from nowhere.
@mcdaniel423
I think one of the main problem with yellow corn is its high amount of lutein. Lutein is carotenoid known to accumulate the most in the mammalian brain, including human brains, which is known from human autopsies.
If you haven't heard about Grant Genereux and how toxic an excess of carotenoids and retinoids can be, you can check out any of Grant's three free ebooks.
How does this apply to indigenous Central American cultures who's main staple food has been corn for thousands of years. How is it different from rice or wheat?
@@commenter5901 Corn wasn't the Only thing they ate, and they were farm more active and hard working to burn off those calories. Also things like sleep behaviors and such help their bodies regulate food intake better than modern lifestyles.
I totally agree this country is feed so much corn and soy in every product, and it's been going on for decades, government has been bought over by food companies and lobbyists
In India you’ll find a variety of traditional diets. Some groups are vegan, some eat meat. There tends to be a lot more veggies in the diets than in the standard US diet, but there’s also sugar. Where my husband came from they would cut the sugar cane stalks and press them, offering the juice as a roadside treat. There are plenty of rich sugary desserts too (but I’ve noticed the size is small compared a US dessert).
One thing I like to use is my tagine. I throw in a chunk of fish, grass fed beef, goat or chicken, with veggies and spices (and maybe a touch of dried fruit and preserved lemon). It’s cooked low and slow. After a long time, even the pastured raised meat that’s not marbled becomes fork tender. Is that bad? Or does the lower temperature prevent creating bad compounds?
When I do make green smoothies now, I keep them “rough” instead of smooth and easily drinkable (it’s less enjoyable, but I noticed several years ago that having totally pulverized green smoothies was making me gain fat).
I would present the indian diet, even the "traditional" as an example of a healthy diet. Sorry.
@@btudrus Diabetes is skyrocketing in India and has for decades as more refined foods and sugars are standardized. Also, vegetarians used to have insect protein to about 20% of the calories on average, but with modern silos and pesticides, the protein is reduced and sugars are higher. But there is a good amount of fiber in the traditional foods.
@@l.sophia2803 Oh, I wanted to say: "I would NOT present the indian diet, even the "traditional" as an example of a healthy diet. Sorry."
Somehow I got the "NOT" out.
The problem is that traditionally, the people in India very quite fragile because of their vegetarian diet.
Making the diet sugar-loaded made it even worse and they got obese and diabetic.
But neither was healthy.
@@btudrus Yes, and isnt it interesting that the whole problem of the mass wheat and grain diet thing started in Egypt, which is where Diabetes type 1 started..but the mass grain consumption made large populations possible and could be argued to have enabled to start civilization.. so you win some you lose some, lol..
"(but I’ve noticed the size is small compared a US dessert)"
That is the key.
Coca-Cola wasn't a problem for us in the US 100 years ago, because it came in 6oz bottles, and was at most an occasional treat.
50 years ago 7-11's 22 oz cups were so HUGE they called it the Big Gulp. Now that is the small drink at many places...
Lustig is one step away from nailing it. I think he has to hold back on what he knows in order to not be cancelled. On carnivour all the cooking problems except carbonisation go away, calorie counting is not required and plant toxins are eliminated. Plant fiber is not needed when plants are not consumed. There are no sugars, lectins or any plant poisons. After years of keto I have achived excelent health markers by eliminating vegitables totally. As hunter gatherers we ate some berries in season but the staple diet meat was hunted for. Our modern dietery addictins are programed into our minds by profit seeking companies through advertising, bribery and corruption.
Exactly. Well said. 👏
I tried carnivore but its not for everybody. I went from a muscular 6'4 , 192lbs to a 170lbs skeleton with dark circles around my eyes on carnivore. Carnivore affects thyroid and cortisol a lot some ppl are not ready to switch even if they spend years on it they dont ''fat adapt'' , I also lost a lot of hair. Mind you, I was eating up to 4 lbs of meat a day with almost 1lb of fat.
Back on Meat and Rice only diet, I went back to a healthy, muscular 194lbs, sleeping like a teenager , from 5 hours on carnivore back to 8 hours on omnivore. I
@@unassailable6138 I am the same
Bro human ancestors were regularly eating Root vegetables for almost 200,000 years (at least) idk who you've been listening to but "cancelation" isn't a reason to avoid suggesting carnivore.
Eat what you like or what's scientifically compatible with your unique genetics, but plants are not poison for most people. For me? Chicken, Fish, Meats and veggies are fantastic, I ate salads when I was a literal infant with no media brainwashing...it came natural.
I stayed with a group of hunter gatherers for a short time and I noted an old woman in the tribe prepping what had been brought back, and when I was there (because it would vary seasonally), there were a lot of wild (unfamiliar) leafy greens in it. What hunter gatherers ate would vary by location and what was available there.
I respect Dr Listig and all his work. However, for me the problems of leaky gut, gas, pain and gut inflammation has GONE since I gave up eating plants (fibre). I seem to have benefited from not eating fibrous foods. I have no idea what my microbiome looks like, but at least it’s not inflamed.
This is very dangerous. Please do a colonscopy once a year. A cousin of mine did that a few years and was ravaged by colon cancer at 54. He was not to be saved. Fibers are very important. I used to get a lot of bloating, no, not anymore, I guess I cultivated slowly but surely the bacteria necessary to break them down. I do fart every now an then, but it doesn't smell and its very natural. No discomfort. Don't give up on the gradual build up of your flora. You need 30 different plants a week, which is doable.
@@byamboy kind of you to give advice, but everyone is different. Inuit people traditionally ate very little fibre so I am told. It’s all down to how you feel inside. I developed IBS as I tried to heal my guts with whole fibrous foods and became very malnourished
@@annettestephens5337 That attitude might as well be a big unconscious cop-out. We are not that different as you're saying. Moreover, you don't look like you might profit from the adaptive genetic changes the inuit have selectively developed over the eons. Don't fool yourself. Get yourself checked on regular basis. Let me remind you that people used to feel awesome applying radioactive material to their skin back at the turn of the last century, and it indeed killed all the bacteria... it killed other stuff as well, we we all now know.
It took me about 6 months to a year to get used to eating plants and grains packed with fiber. I think my gut got used to it over time. You’re correct in that everyone is different. Best wishes to everyone!
@@seffrood98 your gut didn't as much get used to it, as you have literally fed the good bacteria until there were enough of them to digest the fibers you were consuming without causing you trouble. Well done. It's like a zoo of your own, working for you.
I've been on the all ends (unhealthy meat eater high carb, unhealthy vegetarian, healthy vegan, healthy really low carb meat eater, lowcarb, medium carb (all healthy))
My own experience is that vegan died made my chronic pain in my shoulder disappear. And it was awesome in the beginning for my mental health but that was because I stopped all the junk food and cooked my food my self. But wasn't good for my mental health in the long run even if I didn't do any fake meat stuffs and only did whole food. and it wasn't good for my hormones neither. I now think the biggest contribution was the sugars in fruit and honey. Which spiked my insulin. And caused me aweful moodswings even though I didn't eat white sugar. But since I started to eat meat (really low carb under 20c) I notice my hunger changed. I don't have that big need for food and no constant craving. My mental health became so much better and I got such a mental clearity. But I got my chronic pain in my shoulder back. Two days off meat made the pain disappear. I also try to balance my Omega fatty acids. Making sure omega 3 is my biggest source.
My final conclusion is that sugar high carbs is not good at all. I notice at once when I eat too much carbs.
I guess I now eat too much protein and need to balance that up. That is why I got my chronic pain back. It doesn't matter the carbs when it comes to my pain, but when it comes to my energy and mental clearity it does.
I can't go this really low carb anymore (under 20) because I need my calcium and I choose to take it from nettles. And I can really tell in my body when I take my nettles or not. It saved my neeths bc it's so rich in calcium. I'm intolerant towards the other calcium sources and I had really low calcium I almost dropped my teeths and that explained why I had very low need for magnesium before. I rarely need to take magnesium supplements because I get it in the food. Nettles has also helped my hair grow strong again. I can also tell before and after. I never experienced my teeths this strong.
I eat mindfully. I eat and feel what is happening in my body. I have to because I have some food intolerances. And I something's change for the worse I always think of what have I done differently lately. What is the newest changes I've done and which one is the most likely to have done that. Try it, to see if something is changing. If not I try the next one. 🙌👌
Have you tried sardines for calcium?
I had been vegetarian for over 10 years and noticed now that I am carnivore, that I never experienced muscle cramps while I was vegetarian, but had experienced it occasionally prior to that, while omnivore. Now that I'm eating a meat-heavy, vegetable/fruit/grain free diet, without mineral supplements, muscle cramps become very exaggerated and frequent. I need to supplement with Magnesium at a rate above the recommeded allowance, to keep the cramps at bay. Too much of it will cause heart palpitations though, so it is a bit of a fine line to tread.
Otherwise, I have lost so many inflammation related problems, that I don't envisage ever dropping carnivore with less than 20g of carbs per day.
Good luck to you! :)
What is nettles?
@@cecwood sting Nettles, the weed that burns you if you touch it. You can buy it in a pulverised form and won't hurt you eating it that way and it one of the world's most nutritious plants. Rich in calcium, zink, K2, iron potassium and so on. Just read that it's actually good for diabetes and balances your bloodsugar. So maybe it doesn't matter the high amount of carbs. It's not the tastiest, but I blend it with water and do a quick swallow and hold my breath in the morning and then it's over. Getting used to the taste now finally.
Well said! Great insight that honey and other natural sources of glucose sucrose are treated just like processed sugar by your body. People don't realize that carbs from bread, pasta and grains have the same effect on the body as drinking sugary soda. Staying away from processed foods has been a life saver for me. It is journey and glad that you have found what works for you.
@@cbdp More likely you are not missing the electrolytes, you are missing water.
When I was younger, I thought I could eat just whatever, without negative consequences. The negative consequences were subtle and a lot of what I ate was endorsed by the authorities as healthy and essential, so I trusted that I was eating a healthy diet. I later realised that I was not eating healthy and my health was going downhill pretty badly. I did not realise how bad my health had always been, until I gradually changed my diet to Carnivore and low-carb dairy. High fibre leafy greens even make me unwell, for some reason. I lean towards thinking, that what works may vary between individuals, but the highly processed junk will most likely make anyone unwell, especially if consumed in larger quantities over a long period.
Prior to this Keto/Carnivore diet, I had sustained my existence on a lot of grain- , vegetable-, fruit- and dairy along with some meat and fish (except for being a vegetarian for the past decade), but problems I have had since I was 14 did not go away until I dropped the veggies, fruit and grains. At 44 now, I feel better that I have ever since my early teenage years and have become very skeptical about official health guidelines and healthcare in general, as those have done little other than misguide me in the past. I also suspect that those who benefit financially from peddling these processed foods, have been deliberately trying to undermine traditional farming for a long time. One of the methods I suspect to be used, is to prop up ideas about animal welfare, vegetarian- and veganism. As an animal lover, I bought into that all in the past, but now that I have come to realise that cutting animal products out of my diet was slowly killing me, I've pretty much turned 180°. I can't rationalise to myself, that I should suffer from restricting my diet away from animal flesh, while still considering it to be the natural right of other carnivore species.
And when you are 60, how clogged will your arteries in your heart be from all the meat? The Inuit of northern Canada and Greenland live an average of ten fewer years than anyone else in the country. They also hunt a lot and eat more meat than the average Canadian, because it cheaper than buying produce that's outrageously priced.\. And studies have shown that the more meat you eat, the higher your risk of heart disease and various cancers. And one last example of a heavy meat diet was Charles Poliquin who was a trainer to Olympic Athletes. His diet consisted of meat and nuts and water. He died at 57. Good luck.
Your digestive system also proves humans didn't evolve to eat only meat. Your teeth are grinders to pulverize plant cells and no, your 'canine' teeth aren't even close to what meat eaters require. Your digestive acids aren't strong enough to kill the bacteria in meat which is why you can't eat raw road kill like a dog or a bear or a wolf can. And your digestive tract is significantly longer than a true carnivore.
Carnivore also seems to be the best diet for me. I've never been healthier.
I wonder what this doctor feels about the benefits of eating ruminate meats.
It's incorrect to say that low-carb is antagonistic with veganism and vice versa. Low carber and carnivores dieters just do what they do and mind their own business. Unfortunately, it's the vegans who keep attacking low carber either in their comments or in their RUclips videos or blogs. They often forget that low-carb does include veganism as part of way to eat. The push back from low carbers is due to the constant aggressive and militants attack of vegans telling them they will go to hell, that they will die of cancer, etc. All you need to do is to look at most of not all of the low carb conferences and you can see that they hardly bothered about attacking vegan and in fact encompasses that. Whereas all of the vegan conferences is about how meat eaters or saturated fats or cholesterol will cause death or cssue cancer, CVD, etc based on weak epidemiological studies. It is only in recent years due to the aggressive vegans who keeps tell them to die that even vegan diets are mentioned
It's done wonders for my health... mostly chicken and some veggies.
Yep, he knows his stuff. I'd buy his book.
I did and the cool part is, it's on Audible in audio form in case you just want to veg out and listen.
Part one link should be in the description. I got part two as a RUclips recommendation...
Dr. Lustig should have added more context to his comments on juicing. Savvy vegans and plant-based folks are keen enough to not juice fruits. In fact, we also do not juice or greatly limit juicing certain vegetables, for example carrots. To the contrary, our juices consist almost entirely of "green leafy vegetables" (kale, collards, dandelion, etc.), cabbage, broccoli, etc. To make the juice more tolerable, I include cucumbers and celery. My HbA1c has never been over 5 and I drink fresh juices no less than four times a week. Full disclosure, I do not eat anything with flour or oils so that is a major part of the reason for my low HbA1c. Of note, I wish more speakers would mention the importance of enhancing the digestive process of juices. In particular, it is better to "sip the juice" an let it sit in the mouth for a moment in order to let salivary enzymes mix with juice. Secondly, I always include a handful of raw seeds/nuts or olives (not olive oil) with a juice because many plant compounds are "fat soluble". In closing, I should mention that I listen to Dr. Lustig on RUclips very often. He is smart and passionate about public health, I just happen to disagree with the brief comment he made regarding juicing.
True juicing is a little complicated and one cannot just say juicing is bad or not good for some
.
Who do you know that does better videos on this subject?
@Islayman Forks over knives??? I have no idea who they are. At any rate, as I alluded to in my post, I have no issue with oils, per se, it is oil "EXTRACTS" that I do not consume. For example, I eat "fresh olives", not olive oil, "fresh avocadoes", not avocado oil. From a scientific perspective, help me understand your disdain for this manner of lipid intake.
@@StarDArashi I can't say that I have compared him to anyone else. I can say that I have enjoyed his talks for many years, I imagine he is in the top five for "science based" information.
@@StarDArashi Yes, I agree with your assertion but for me life is complicated enough, I want my juicing to be healthy and "simple". It works for me.
This doesn’t actually make sense to me. If you are eating mostly carbs in the form of grains, fruits and veggies and legumes etc, you are still eating foods that will raise your blood sugar and increase insulin production. Even if the food is full of fiber. I must be missing something here.
You are spot on. That is why I went carnivore and fixed all my health markers from dire to optimal.
Why does animal pain and misery not matter to those who lack empathy? Empathy resides in the anterior insular cortex of the brain and for some reason fails to develop well in people who experienced abuse, neglect, or other strongly adverse experiences in childhood. It seems ironic that those who experience adversity early in life are not able to extend empathy to other sentient creatures later in life.
It is no wonder most adult animals are leery of humans. They don't know if the humans will befriend them or eat them!
@@seang2700 False inference. Vegans care about the misery and pain of all animals, including humans. Omnivore and carnivore humans only care about a very few species: humans and their pets.
Dr. Lustig is brilliant. :)
No...he just studies...what he likes.
When one does so,...one thrives.
Does he know how to "build a house, or rebuild an engine? Probably not in his Forte.
Everything thrives.. in their' topic...if u get my gist.
I have learnt that all vegetables grown underground are carbohydrates and spike insulin. All green leafy vegetables grown above ground are low insulin spiking.
I am still working on fruits and which ones will spike insulin and which ones will be low spiking.
Would be good to have this Dr inform us. Plus it would be interesting to hear his opinion on the benefits on eating clean meats apposed to eating unclean meats.
Berries are the fruits with a low insulin response.
Pretty much all the berries are low on the glycemic index
Carrots may be a root vegetable and more starchy than string beans, but they are definitely not something to avoid
Preparation matters too..... Boiled potato and fried potato... Two entirely different things
@@Livetoeat171 Same with beets and onions and garlic
So if the blades of a juicer "shred the fishnet of fibres", what about chewing? We have been told that you should chew each mouthful 30 times. If you do that to a piece of apple, the end product will be exactly like what comes out of a juicer.
My mom is not statistically significant or peer reviewed but her experience has had real significance among her circle of friends and family.
2 years ago, my 80 year old mother finally had a follow up appointment with her physician which was delayed for months because her doctor has been in charge of treating Covid patients in the hospital and in nursing homes and was not able to meet with her.
She had a full blood panel taken for this visit and her doctor was astounded at the progress she had made during the last year. She is now no longer diabetic and she was instructed to stop taking insulin after having been on it for 12 years. Her doctor also praised her kidney function which has never looked better. Also, she couldn't believe that her total cholesterol was only 139, with LDL of 67, HDL of 60, and triglycerides of 82 which is a big improvement for her. According to the Framingham Heart Study, these numbers mean that she is virtually "heart attack proof" as many plant based doctors have noted.
Her physician mentioned that she is reconsidering the diet for her family based on this experience. She also asked my mom to share her experience with our community after the pandemic. All of these results are exactly what I had hoped would occur. Here is the menu that I had developed for her to try to mimic what she was used to eating -> "GSP Mother's Menu" - While this menu is not a pure whole foods plant based diet, it appears to be health promoting enough to work for her. My understanding is that low carb diets are a workaround that do not address the root cause of diabetes which is excess intramyocellular lipids and the resulting insulin resistance (excess saturated fats and refined sugar/flour are the most common cause of this metabolic system failure). Cheers!
No sorry. Wrong. Saturated fats are definitely not a problem. The sugar is I agree.
@@PattayaPhysics As adults get more and more clogged up with ischemia, chronic hypoxia becomes a serious concern, especially related to increased blood viscosity for hours after each high fat meal. Lack of oxygen and nutrients to our body tissues served by the smaller circulation pathways often cause the first signs of deterioration and disease (eyes, ears, legs, back, brain, etc.). Postprandial rouleaux formation in the blood is a root cause of chronic hypoxia - Dr. Gregory Sloop. You can even watch it for yourself -> Blood Flow Before and After a Fatty Meal.
You don't have to take anyone's word on this because you can easily self-experiment with a home blood pressure cuff. The optimal blood pressure is 110/70 or less using no medications. This is the blood pressure of the elderly in native populations eating traditional human diets and it is the same as the teenagers. Our blood pressure should not increase as we age if we are truly healthy. Just think hard about the grease that builds up on your stove, pans and kitchen sink drain. Why would you ever want to take a chance on putting that stuff in your body? Good luck to you and your family!
Equating kitchen pipes to arteries is childish.
@@zamfirtoth6441 true that, plumbers kill far fewer people than heart surgeons when they are unclogging your pipes
@@zamfirtoth6441 childish is your silly troll replay...back it up with thoughtful studies..like the OP.
Given the awful status of our meat here in the US and the environmental destruction the industry is causing it's probably better to just avoid meat altogether.
Compared to how healthy, nutritious, and low cost plant foods are there's no reason one would need to include foods like beef.
It is just crazy that Doctors do not get nutrition training in Medical schools.
Every doctor visit should include some nutrition discussion. The majority of the population is over weight or obese leading to high blood pressure, heart disease and cancer. Schools and hospital cafeterias should be leading the way to good health by setting the example of what is a healthy meal and teaching people what to eat and why.. Every person in the hospital for heart disease should have a nutrition class before being checked out from the hospital with follow up education and training in nutrition. Medicare and Medicaid should require patient nutrition education as part of their standard of care. Nutrition information should be run on the hospital TV channel.
Even if they did get nutrition training, if it was comprehensive they would encounter volumes of controversy. Presently they have a menu of tests and a corresponding menu of pharmaceuticals. Surgery is more definitive.
100% as Hippocrates said ..
"Let food be your medicine".
Let the human eat like original human did - me
Just purchased your book. Thx
Very interesting.
5:50 Well hang on. If I've cut out all added sugar from drinks, and all processed and refined carbs, like pasta and bread products and I'm eating a "medium carb" diet where I get my carbs from root vegetables or maybe some brown rice, I'm eating a natural whole-food diet. I can't see how that's the "worst diet".
Medium carb mixed with high fat is what he said was the issue.
I hear hwat you say about beef, and I surely agree, they are grown in 6 month. The same thing happen with chicken. Normalise chicken grownth take 16 weeks. The chicken that we consume here in US and Canada are grown in 6 weeks
I was really hoping he'd answer on the high smoke point oils, the reason I'm concerned about that is because a lot of us who cook vegetables in the oven might use avocado oil for example. Is say 400ºF for 30 minutes a concern if I am cooking up some brussels? Also is there a concern with caramelized vegetables by leaving them in the oven that long?
One of the best Brussel recipes I've ever tried is a mixture of garlic, lemon juice, brussel sprouts, avocado oil, salt, pepper and chili flakes. Once those all caramelize, it's a bit of heaven on a plate. However, now I am concerned that it's taking a risk instead of being a healthy food.
Question about olive oil, Does all olive oils have double bonds. I use it a lot (the good ones) But I heard there are olive oils you can use only cold and olive oils you can fry with. So now I am confused, Are there lives oils you can fry with or is it also a myth??
why not just pork fat? it creates least of formaldehydes, proinflamators of all fats. if you have some omega3 in diet it also offsets any amount of omega6
Its real hard to get change , the processed food corps are sitting on the FDA board.
Question for Dr. Lustig: Why is "medium carb" diet the worst? wouldn't a high carb diet be even worse?

When I eat hamburger meat and ribeyes only within 5 days my brain fog disappears, my joints move freely and my sleep apnea is gone. Explain that!
Meats are evolutionary appropriate human foods!
It is irrelevant, we have to stop abusing animals and destroying our planet. You can get healthy when you stop eating crap food. Just whole foods, healthy veggies and fruits and berries and nuts and seeds. Meat only trickers your dopamine, that’s why. But that’s not making meat healthy. A heroin addict also feels great when taking a shot. It means you are unhealthy and addicted to eating corpses.
For us living in Argentina we get the feed lot animales 😢. All that nice meat you see abroad is for export not for us!!!!
'Nice' meat from tortured animals.
Indians eat a lot of rice and wheat flour (without enough fiber, even if it’s more than American all purpose flour) and they eat sugary desserts.
Indians on traditional Indian diet of millets (high fiber) have lower incidents of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Plant-based is the key.

also why do you lie? you never look for opposite sources to compare if Google didn't lie to you sending you only propaganda on first two pages! LOL
AND its not only about human health- its also about the rest of nature and what foods have the lowest impact on it.
Maybe there is a connection in how we treat the animals before they go , if they not happy or getting traumatized, it can maybe effect our bones when we eat them, what you think?

Dr Robert Lustig you are so right about North American Beef.
This video certainly does have value for everyone. Personally speaking - meat healed my acid reflux, my carb addiction, obesity, insulin resistance , changes in vision, low blood sugar, gallbladder, pancreatitis and kidney problems. . As a result I'm able to find the time to conduct research regarding a hypothesis I have regarding one possible fundamental reason as to why many members of both the Greatest Generation and the Baby Boomer cohort were both so late at beginning a KETO journey In one word: Popeye. Beginning in 1929, the creators and publishers of the comic strip and the cartoons began a campaign of what perhaps can be referred to as pro-vegan "Popeye-ganda." part of the popular culture zeitgeist for decades. Popeye of course claimed he was "strong to the finich 'cause I eats me Spinach." As a result, countless parents encouraged their children for decades to "eat your vegetables so you'll be strong like Popeye." Remember also that it was common for kids to watch Popeye cartoons between arriving home from school and sitting down to dinner. Talk about timing. To counterbalance things somewhat, of course, the character Wimpy was something of a Canrivore (albeit, his hambugers weren't bunless). That being said, can we not conclude that perhaps vegans could best be described as "green with envy?"

The one thing I’d like to read the research on is the idea that blending fruit makes the fiber worthless. That just doesn’t make sense to me.

I find it very disappointing when knowledgeable people choose the cop out and say that everyone is different, sorry we are NOT. I know of no sheep needing mangoes to survive, that is how the human diet looks right now. We are too spoiled for choice and there are too many people profiting from all the bad things in our diet. If humans are this different diet-wise then there should also be a really good case for racism.
Also a good case for selling monitoring products
some people ARE different, and so they are accounting for those who are different. there is quite a variety of differences among people when you get into it, but it's more along the lines of where your ancestors were from than purely individual basis. But the general ideas and guidelines tend to work for everyone, but the real world implementation of those guidelines into individual lives Does require individualized adjustment to get the intended results.
One-size-fits-all "silver bullet" solutions simply do not exist.
Wow, I knew math is racist and so is being in time. But now Diet is racist too? I am white and I eat a lot of fried chicken and watermelon because I thought it was good for me. But now I am going to only eat Scottish food.
I had the understanding also that we were all the same, and the differences may have been caused by the disruption of our ecosystem, environment by mankind over the century.
Your comment is lazy thinking. There are differences between people that have nothing to do with racism and everything to do with differences in lifestyle and some genetic differences that are typically minor, but for a tiny minority of the population are important.
It's quite simple to understand insulin once you start discovering some deeper truths about the body and how food works in it. Animals eat just one food at a time in the natural world and humans mix all kinds of different foods together in modern times. The worse our food combinations the worse our body will react. The best thing to do is learn about food combining and understand which foods work well together and terribly together. Talking about only whole foods in these examples: Fruits + Fats = insulin spike. Fruit alone = no insulin spike. Starch + Fat = insulin spike. Starch + Leafy Greens = no insulin spike.
wear a cgm and eat 200-300g of oats and you will see your blood glucose spike. Eat 500g of bananas and see your blood pressure spike
@@user-wk1rt7zq7j well of course. Overeat pretty much any food and you'll see your blood sugar spike since that's how our body functions. Eat an appropriate amount of food and you will have a rise but not a spike. Higher the sugar in food (in absence of fiber and water) will most definitely spike blood sugar in large amounts.
Only Fat and fiber will not spike your insulin
You're right.
In a frying pan I cook 500 grams of 80/20 minced beef (no extra butter or anything) then add it to a bowl, I then add in 3 raw duck egg yolks and mix it into the beef (l have this meal 3 times a day) Every other day I have one teaspoon of marri honey and 1 squeezed lemon in a glass of water. Thinking of giving up the honey though. Not sure yet.

How about the NO FOOD diet….fasting heals everything
That depends on how long you want to live. If you're really, really fat, you might live about a year.
depends. how overweight are you? my general rule of thumb is that you should determine how much weight you have above your normal body weight range (let's say you are 20lbs overweight), divide that weight by 1.0, 1.5, or 2.0 (determined based upon your own body and situation, but generally somewhere between 1 to 2, if in doubt use 2 to start with), and that is how many days you can safely fast for with certainty (so 10-20 days for the person 20 lbs over their normal recommended weight, but a 200lb overweight person could potentially go 100-200 days).
Otherwise a 3, 5, 7 days fast periodically can be done for the average person as well. 5-7 days is better than just 3 days.
But you have to figure out what works for you specifically. the above is a generalized rule I came up with based upon patterns I aw in fasting research, but may not work for everyone.

Any fresh food passed by a knife is life missing. Metals neutralize minerals. So are meat+ the image of eating a piece of a body doesn't help at all.
I once rode a bicycle from Miami to Seattle on a purely vegetarian diet, proving to myself that the human body does not need meat to excel. Animals on meat farms never eat the foods they would normally eat, given a choice. Chickens and cows never eat corn - one eats bugs and grubs, the other eats grass only. Salmon and shrimp farms are toxic to their inmates, not mention cruel.
Eating a nutrient deficient diet leads to chronic health problems. I experimented with a vegetarian diet for a full year, and I am an ultra runner. My body handled it, but my recovery was horrible, as well as the inflammation in my body and brain. the amount of money you spend on supplements to round out your nutrients I can feed myself with nutrient dense and bio-available red meat.
BTW how many animals and living creatures are killed in the crop industry? Is that humane?
Go out into the wild and see how nature works.
@@DaveIrish66 The crop industry feeds the bulk of the meat industry...and the liddle animals run away anyway, they're scared of noises apparently.Ever walked in a crop and noticed that there's phark all animals that you come across?....Go talk to Scott Jurek and Rich Roll about your recovery.
@@DaveIrish66 Sounds like you didn't research your 'vegetarian' diet very well. For me being a vegan has dramatically improved my recovery and reduced inflammation. That makes sense because it's plants (berries, herbs, spices) that help fight inflammation.
@@DaveIrish66 your bias and just plain wrong. You need to think if humans had 99% identical dna to lions or crocodiles then yes eat meat all you want. But we don’t we share 99% of our dna with apes. Only 1% of ape species eat less then 5 % meat.
Did I overlook the name of his book? Anyone know?
NO. It does not depend on you. Do you see two lions prefer different food, or two cows? or two magpies? Fundamentally we are all animals and we should eat what have have evolved to eat for millions of years. Anything that is not in our ancestors diet carries a risk and it is better avoided.
Meat is a more processed food than plant foods. This is because meat is created from the plants that herbivores eat.
I would correct Dr. Lustig. "real food has fibre" => "real food has either fibre or no sugar".
Sugar with no fibre is the bad thing. Meat without both the sugar and the fibre is a good thing....
Considering fhow important real food is why can't you put this video on your webpage for FREE and easy access. Paying $175 is very expensive.
I respect this doctor. He is very interesting person. Though I agree fruits should be eaten raw, yet there are benefits of some juices made directly raw in front of you without added sugars and preservatives. But again it all depends upon how much processed food one is eating. Refined sugar is BAD. But pure raw sugarcane juice has long been considered as detox for liver but NOT with deep fried processed refined carbohydrates. The sad part of processing food is that it makes it addictive over limits. The same goes for air fryers tomorrow. Just how refined oils were not the best options proven at the end over traditional butter and Ghee which was expensive and used in moderation and cheap refined oils created a wave of more temptation driven deep fried foods, so will air fryers do the same and at the end like chemically refined Refined cheap vegetable oils these air fryers will be found to be toxic in excess but people will over do it for taste and same goes for many processed plant based foods because it is a big business. Everyone knows from omnivores to vegans to vegetarians people will consume these and have been consuming processed refined carbs from refined plant based foods. It's Sad! I can not support veganism as a path because it lacks certain nutrients which people have to supplement but I let it be people's personal choice unless they do not make vegan diet as an activist movement to convert others blindly.
I as well like listening to Dr Lustig's take on health. But you said that veganism lacks certain nutrients (I'm assuming you mean WFPB). Which missing nutrients do you mean? B12?
Vegan, Since 2001
Could you be more specific on which nutrients you feel vegans must supplement. I have been a vegan since 2001. With the notable exception of B12, I do not take any supplements.
@@everetto.261 Watch Dr. Ken Berry’s latest video.
@@bobbylee2853 I am familiar with Ken Berry, after watching his video I posted the following comment. It is a long comment but the overall theme is, if Berry is correct how does explain all of the healthy vegans in the world?: -- Dr. Berry, someone recommended that I watch your latest video. Having seen the video, I would like to initiate a "healthy" debate, pun intended...(smile). So, I have been a vegan ("zero" animal products, no eggs, dairy, fish, etc.) for over twenty years and, with the exception of B12, I do not take supplements. I have an athletic build, a 29 inch waist, HbA1c below 5, etc. etc. etc., you get the point. So, my question is, if the assertion of your video is correct, how do you explain the millions of healthy vegans like myself? Additionally, I would respectfully suggest that your title is incorrect because you stated that 5 of the nutrients are indeed made by the body (endogenous). Rightly so, you made it clear that these 5 of the 7 nutrients are produced in substandard amounts, but this simply brings me back to my initial question, if 5 of the nutrients are produced in woefully low concentrations, how do you explain the existence of healthy vegans? As for iron, it is a very reactive metal, such that the body stores (ferritin) and transports (transferrin) iron in proteins in order to inhibit oxidation. As an athletic vegan, suffice it to say that my non-heme iron at the very least is sufficient enough for adequate hemoglobin production, which accounts for approximately 70% of iron use in the body. Of your list of seven, I would agree with your vitamin D-3 assertion but only in the winter months and/or for people living in places with long winters. My vitamin D3 levels are not perfect but they are generally in the 40ng/mL range, I simply spend 10 minutes 4 or 5 times a week in the sun with my shirt off and the sunshine is free.
Okay, having said all of this, I will "concede" that the inclusion of animal products in one's diet is often healthier than a vegan diet. In fact, people who live in blue zones consume meat. But, my concession comes with an important caveat, that caveat is that blue zone people generally consume very small amounts of meat and generally just a few times a week. I will also "concede" to some of your points by admitting that I absolutely, 100% do NOT recommend a vegan diet to my family, friends or colleagues because, if not done correctly, they would certainly end up with the health issues that you mentioned in the video. But again, there is a caveat, the caveat is that when done "correctly", a vegan diet will supply all essential nutrients; otherwise, I would have died five or ten years ago. To the contrary, I am healthy and vibrant (and humble).
Why the sudden shut-down?
Wow. I loved the first one in this series but in this one Dr Robert Lustig has convinced me he's not that well informed on some of the topics he's speaking on. He doesn't seem to be clear on what a Vegan is at all and his confusing marbling in meat with Intramyocellular lipids is shocking.
I think he's right about "real food" but honestly I don't think he's that well informed on other topics.
Like some veggies that have LECTINS.....cooking them some lowers those lectins
Yep, don't you think that millions of South Americans over thousands of years might have noticed a little gut-ache from eating all those grains, hahahaha...NUP!
Agree with most of what he said but he is wrong on the US slaughter it’s take 12-18 months grass fed beef takes way longer 24-36 months
It doesn't seem that he addresses the fact that a high fat diet necessarily leads to high apob which is a bad marker for CHD. Yes, sugar is bad, but isn't high fat bad too??
not if it's animal fat
2/3 fat is healthier than 2/3 meat to fat
but in case of proteins it's about getting at least 10-15 grams of balanced protein best 30 grams
and the first meal to not have sugar and not spike insulin fkd up whole rest of day - very important
fat adapted body knows what to do with healthy fats
especially women feel good at this ratio because of fixed hormones
body can't utilise more than 60grams of balanced proteins in a meal into building muscle (it's mass important for health of brain and regeneration of organs at night)
otherwise it is going elsewhere what is a waste as building muscle only happens after meals except if someone is highly trained then they suck in everything but probably also have higher needs
anyway I wouldn't want my body to do funky things with excess of unbalanced proteins 🤔🤔🤔
or have membranes blocked by plant oils fats for long months before clearing up on diet free of this toxic shit
Does honey play any role in health and in what ways?
Real honey. Not laced with corn syrup
lol I loved the absolute shock on your face when Dr Lustig advised you that high fibre vegan diets are also able to counteract increases in insulin just as well as a low carb diet. The (original) Okinawa's are 1 of the longest living ppl in the world, and lived on a high starch diet, they ate lots of carbs. BUT LISTEN it's not WHOLEFOOD carbs that are the enemy, because they contain fibre and mostly glucose (which gets utilised mostly by the body), the enemy is the fructose in processed foods like sugar and also refined carbs like flour that make insulin spike. Vegans fall down when they eat the junk vegan food, OR heat the vegetable oils, OR make smoothies and soups, as does every other diet that does the same and contains processed foods. Processed foods means you've messed with nature. We've got to stop doing that...but then we are advised to cook foods like meat and eggs to prevent consuming bad bacteria that can kill us....and to ferment foods to make them more digestible like milk....a little odd right? Which is one of the reasons why veganism/plant based diets exist because they are trying to keep it natural. Makes sense.
Exactly. Also, the Okinawa diet include one of the most valuable eating habits that gives them that longevity. They only eat to 70% full. No more. So insulin spike is at minimal even with starchy food.
@@mrbrightside3771 Good point, thank you for reminding me of that fact. I actually forgot that their culture doesn't overeat (like us Westies - me included lol), which yes of course, prevents insulin spikes as well because there is not too much glucose for the body to deal with and utilise, which also means that less will be turned into fat by the liver - and Okinawa's aren't fat! Well done for joining the dots.
In Okinawa, just about every part of the pig is used for food except for its squeal. In fact, Okinawan cuisine cannot be discussed without pork, which is an essential ingredient for a number of home-cooking dishes.
Okinawa argument is so bullshit it's hard to read it the thousandth time Okinawans would they you that before war they ate pork in huge amounts

Meat causes cancer. Vegetables do not. I don't know why this guy has to tout his low carb diet. Does he really think the average person can buy high quality meat even if it is a little better than conventional meat which all causes cancer in the end. It doesn't matter how you cook the meat which would not make it any better. Also olive oil is not a real whole food either. It is full of the same fat that makes you fat. The fat you eat is the fat you wear. What a shame this guy is so full of nonsense. Do the research. It's not like a squirrel or an elephant has to count carbs. Eat a predominantly whole food plant based diet.
The studies claiming that red meat (not even white which doesn’t have a link to cancer) are not controlled and are mostly epidemiological studies. So,e resources suggest it could be the heme iron with the addition of seed oils (so not the meat alone). Charred anything could cause carcinogens.
Healthy sources of dietary fat do not cause you to become fat. Excess carbs that cause insulin resistance can make the body store fat when there is too much glucose that cannot be used up.
In the end there are pros and cons to both animal products and plant foods.
Title needs to be changed to: Carnism Vs Veganism
I'm not a fan of fiber. I've seen where it's inflammatory to our gut and causes all of the guy issues such as Crohns, IBS, and others. Plus, oxalates and lectins are bad for us, from what I've seen. I feel much better after getting off all fiber and going pure carnivore. If fiber doesn't you, I'm happy for you. I urge people to try to open mindedly cut out all fiber and see how you feel.
@@ProphetAndLoss, congratulations! It's nice to see someone else doing better by eliminating inflammatory substances.
I love my Nutri Bullet and all the cool fruit-based smoothies I come up with, but now I'm shattered and will never look at my NutriBullet in the same way. Hearing how I'm shredding the fibre has made me rethink my smoothie ritual. Sigh.
To 438019 : I do believe most juicers retain many nutrients contains contained in the whole foods. However, the important fibers unfortunately are removed. But, if I'm correct, the Nurabullet does Not remove the fiber as most juicers do, but breaks up the fiber that is in the pulp. The pulp (which is where the fiber is) ends up contained in the juice with the Nutrabullet. and needn't be removed when cleaning the juicer. I believe I'm correct. If so, Nutrabullet is the one ideal juicer because it retains the fiber contained in the whole fruit or vegetable. Question for Dr. Lustig : if the Nutrabullet shreds the fiber........ Hello, so does MASTICATION when chewing the whole food.
chewing food is critical to health too. juicing your food is not recommended.
Smoothies include all the fiber from the original food. They're not the worst thing for your health - especially if you add greens & other healthy stuff.
@@k.h.6991 except when he explains in the video how smoothies destroy the fiber.

30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

Would beans be considered highly processed?
Nope. Beans are on the list of high fiber, very healthy foods. They should be eaten daily. They contain protein too - which makes them the natural 'meat replacement' in your diet (assuming you're continuing to eat some form of - preferably whole - grain).
@K. H. Yeah, I eat beans every day, but I wonder if you can consider it highly processed since you'll have to cook it for a long period of time.

It’s not the food it’s what they put in it and the lack of movement…
I"m sure he's wrong about the time it takes to slaughter US cattle. They are out on pasture for something like a year, then three months in the feedlot. And contrary to popular opinion, feedlot cattle actually produce less methane than grass fed. Besides corn and soy beans, feedlot cattle take a lot of agriculture wastes and even some industrial wastes.
In the BIG picture, it all started about 10,000 years ago at the first agricultural revolution. Civilizations were created by humans when they started "domesticating plants and animals". The domestication process is a long series of genetic modifications by humans to produce high-carbohydrate low-fiber grains and high-fat sedentary docile livestock. Evolution has favored humans who can reproduce rapidly on these unnatural foods. So today we have these bloated civilizations covering the earth which are totally dependent on these genetically modified foods that must be cooked and processed to become edible.
***The only way out is to get a piece of land and grow your own food that is mostly greens, squash, and beans. Without chemicals or fertilizers.

The Buddhist Four Noble Truths will help you achieve this liberation from suffering. It's easy with the Right wisdom, morality, and concentration.

It is clear that different people need different things.

Some people cannot bear thought of eating meat no matter how healthy they’d be eating it. There is no one right diet!
Trial and error to find what you need. Only those with problems (eg overweight and increasing or metabolic syndrome symptoms such as T2 Diabetes, HBP, PCOS or autoimmune conditions or depression or brain fog or digestive issues such as GERD, bloating, pain, wind, constipation, diarrhoea, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s, etc. etc.) will try different methods until they give up and suffer or find a diet that makes them better!

It's not about diet it's about how we treat other living beings. Most people will agree that causing harm to animals is against their morals. But when it comes to eating meat they suddenly forget their morals. It's difficult to fight habits but if a lot of people around, friends and family do something, it does not mean that it's right. There is no humane killing, there is no way to get meat humanely (except cultured meat in the future). If you eat meat, you are an animal abuser, and this is the only thing that really matters.
No amount of virtue signaling can erase nutritional deficiencies, Vegans are deficient in many amino acids and fat soluble vitamins, some can get by with the deficiencies better than others.
The animals you worship do not share the same love for us that we do for them. Animals are strictly instinctual and opportunistic. You need to research each animal separately to understand this.
Deer will swallow birds or mice whole with the same nonchalance that we swat a fly, fish inhale anything smaller than themselves, chimpanzees regularly display cannibalism, and it gets much worse. One thing I've noticed though is that many vegans do hate one type of animal, and it is human beings.
@@zamfirtoth6441 first of all, that's total bullshit. Vegans who correctly arrange their diets thrive. You can get all the nutrients you need from non animal sources.
Not killing is not a virtue, it's a basic moral principle in modern society. Being not racist and not having slaves is not a virtue, it's what you're supposed to do. Specieism is the same as racism, it's even worse, because you abuse those who cannot stand for themselves.

No animals are defenseless, some run away, some fly away, some have fangs, all plants also have defense systems, usually in the form of poison, fruits want to be eaten to spread seeds, but are only ripe for a month or 2 per year. Veganism is like a religion, but one that is strictly a modern day phenomena. Vegans in general are in denial about a humans place in the cycle of life. There are no cave paintings of brocolli or kale, humans evolved by eating meat, the radioisotope fossil data proves it, and so does the Ph of our stomach acid.
@@zamfirtoth6441 carnitine, creatine, taurine are synthesized in the body. They are not essential. Those who need them can take supplements with artificially synthesized compounds.

You cannot have a serious conversation about reducing insulin without discussing the impact of stress and trauma on the way food is metabolised. Easiest way for someone with high stress to lose weight? Take a relaxing holiday!
Red meat and gluten make me so inflammatory!
She needs to talk to some people from India before making the claim that they don't eat meat. Those that don't are a subset of the entire population.
Even children today have signs of artery disease. Fast foods and sugary drinks have long term consequences.
There is an obesity epidemic today where over 60% of the population is overweight or obese.
What is common today and "NORMAL" is not healthy. The average person today is not healthy and is taking medications.
Heart attacks were once only common in people over 65. Today people in their 40 are having heart attacks.
Add more plants and vegetables to your diet and less junk and overly processed foods. Being thin is a sign of good health. Being over weight or obese is a sign of bad health.

I put the whole vegetable and fruit in the vitamix fiber and all. This can't be bad, is it?
Use natural fiber not from package fiber.
@@mrbrightside3771what about raw organic fiber powder?
@@Jkid3169 I would only use those when you’re traveling and have no access to natural fiber. Never eat any fiber from package out of convenience. Especially for everyday use.
EAT MEATS TO SATIETY!

No grains
No Fruits
No potatoes
Works for me!
If all cows were pasture-raised with grass and without antibiotics then the food industry would not be able to provide enough meat to supply society's demand for meat. If we all want to eat properly raised meat then we need to drastically reduce our demand for meat. We need to eat like the Blue Zones.
People who live in the Blue Zones, eat very little meat if at all.
@Islayman I 100% agree. We can all eat properly raised meats, if we changed our expectation that a meal would be 6-12 oz of beef 10-15 times a week. Humanely raised meats used more like a flavor is what I do. I also believe in fasting, and I schedule it by listening to my body. I can feel when I might have had an excess, and do a 24-48hr fast. I also have times when I feel a deficit and allow some calorie dense foods. It is really pretty simple.
What about chickens?
@@markwiener1091 I think it's the same for chickens. If they were all free range then there wouldn't be enough land to raise them all. We all can't avoid the fact that we need to reduce our insatiable appetite for meat.
