I've been doing the keto diet for over a year now, and I haven't felt better. I dropped over 45 lbs and my moods and mental functioning have improved greatly. I'm over 50 and I feel like I did in my 20's. For me, it was the best change in lifestyle and I don't foresee myself going back to a carb based diet again.
Amen brother. I've been pure meat 1 meal a day for a year now too. I haven't felt this good in years, I'm now 52. I not going back to carbs or sugar ever again.
I feel like someone started up a nuclear power plant inside me and turned it up to high. The difference in energy, mental alertness, and overall fitness is truly amazing.
@@LittleRadicalThinker I would imagine it was not university-sponsored. Just about every slant you can take on nutrition has a certification program out there.
I started intermittent fasting, one meal a day, about 15 months ago. About a year ago I started paying attention to carbs, and greatly minimizing them. It takes a while, probably a month at least, but gradually it becomes clear just how bad carbs really are. They are literally addictive. Unlike fat and protein that make you feel full and not want to eat, carbs actually make you want to eat more. Carbs are inflammatory, causing joints to become inflamed increasing stiffness and decreasing range of motion. Carbs interfere with sleep and contribute to brain fog. This is not from reading, this is my actual experience over more than a year of eating sometimes strict keto, other times more paleo (low carbs like keto but more protein than keto) and sometimes eating more carbs. Even when I eat more carbs, its more compared to keto but still very low compared to modern normal diet recommendations. Yet even that low amount of carbs is enough to trigger all the bad responses. No wonder I feel amazingly better now on a low carb diet than I have ever felt in my entire life, even though I am over 60!
Fascinating connections! It was also found in a mummy from ancient China. “The Lady of Dai, also known as Xin Zhui, lived during the Han dynasty (206 BCE - 220 AD) and was the wife of the Marquis of Dai. Her tomb was discovered inside a hill known as Mawangdui, in Changsha, Hunan, China, in 1971 when workers were digging an air raid shelter. According to an autopsy, Xin Zhui was overweight, suffered from back pain, high blood pressure, clogged arteries, liver disease, gallstones, diabetes and had a severely damaged heart.”
The book Wheat Belly saved my life basically at the time that I had found it I was suffering from malnutrition to the point where I was no longer digesting my food, within 3 days of going gluten free my digestion started returning to normal.
If you look at nutrition labels on various foods, you’ll see that it is recommended that we eat 300 grams of carbohydrates per day on a 2000 calorie diet. Meaningless unless you put it in perspective. The average human has 5 liters of blood, 2 1/2 Coke bottles worth. Average blood sugar for a non-diabetic is around 100 mg/dL. That means for your entire volume of blood, you have one teaspoon of glucose. Those 300 grams of carbs break down into 1 1/2 cups of sugar. Your body has to dispose of all that sugar. So it puts out a massive amount of insulin to move it into your cells. How this advice (300 grams of carbs) became official is a prime example of government incompetence in action. Tom Naughton gives a great explanation of the process in his “Wisdom of Crowds” speech.
Wonderfully entertaining, but even more wonderfully informative and convincing that Dr Eades and his colleagues have been right all along. And I am benefitting from their wisdom and their careful research along with untold others whose names they will never know!
Every so called doctor needs to see this on day one of medical school. Amazing research and presentation of precision data with excellent descriptions of the processes involved in obtaining and evaluating the data. It really leaves no doubt about the importance of low carb. Seriously good video and excellent presenter too.
I have been Keto for about 2.5 years now and my teeth have never felt better. I was wondering for a while now if anybody ever linked the two and voila! Dr. Michael Eades did all the work for me. Great presentation.
@@easypeasy1216 Me too!. My gums used to bleed when brushing. I didn't notice that until I heard Jordan Peterson say his gum disease went away after going carnivore.
19:40 Dr. Eades talks about the shift from eating terrestrial animals to marine animals ... obviously he doesn't know about all the research that shows there was no land bridge migration and the large animals of that time were actually wiped out by a catastrophic and sudden transition into the Younger Dryas global cooling event. If I remember correctly this was the event that resulted in Woolly Mammoth and other species being flash frozen because of the sudden temperature change to well below freezing.

@@RUclipsr-ep5xx sure, humans killed ALL the megafauna in the western hemisphere and northern eurasia. that would take a LOT of hunting and killing without guns so, probably not. odd that all the megafauna didn't get hunted out of existence in africa, australia and south eurasia. maybe the humans there were just smarter about it all. sometimes it takes a while for newer theories to be accepted, even when they make a lot more fucking sense. kinda like what eades is talking about in this here lecture.
The literature is full of tales about the ancient everlasting conflict between nomadic hunter-gaterer or pastoralist populations and static "civilized" agricultural ones. The former being recognized as stronger, taller, more resiliant but loosing by the technological advance that civilisation brings. Mongols' strenght was famous, from China to Europe, for centuries.
I find it fascinating that even with all the data and many people's own experiences that point, to make it simple, LCHF diet is good and that even in this comments section are those saying only for some people does that work but others it doesn't and that they can't see what many of us do see with the epidemic which I see among my fellow Americans with poor health.. I will name drop some names... Dr. Eric Berg, Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Sara Halberg, Dr. Ken Berry have been preaching for at least since I became interested in this the last 3 or 4 years (maybe longer for these docs) that i know of that the LCHF diet is the way we all should be eating or we will eventually succumb to what was my reason to look for answers which was bad health and diabetes type II which I thought was treated not correctly by my main stream physician. I was only getting worse with her treatments. Why can't people see that what we are eating is killing us? Is it because of what I call a conspiracy in medical community to keep us sick? Why doesn't anyone question anything anymore? There are so many food myths I grew up with, learning that most of it was BS has been a real treat these past 4 years. My favorite myth is that Wheat is good for us. And yet there will be haters which will have to comment even on my comments. Haters got to hate.
Chips and kale are both high in carbs. "Carbs" are just macronutrients. Whipped cream is mainly fat as are walnuts. It's not about the macronutrients as much as the micronutrients.
@@toni4729 Yes. Of three caloric macro-nutrients, kale is a little more than 50% carbs, a little less than 50% protein and about 5 or so % fat. The rest is water.
@@sectionalsofa Nothing is that good, not even beef liver and nothing comes better than that. You just counted up fifty+fifty+five=a bit more than a 100% and you didn't even consider the ninety odd percent water.
@@toni4729 I'm talking about the caloric makeup of macronutrients. Kale is largely water but that contains zero calories. I looked at a chart and this was my rough conversion. Let's say, 52%, 44% and 4%. And 0 for water. The point is, the calories in green leafy vegetables come mostly from carbs and protein. Not all carbs are bad and not all carbs are created equal. Same goes for fat.
This is very interesting, It seems to indicate that consuming wheat may be almost as detrimental as sugar, however I suspect what was happening is the Egyptians were converting large quantities of the wheat to beer and then consuming large amounts of ethanol which would be as bad as sugar.
Id say alcohol and frustose, as metabolized in the lover, is much worse than sugar as that is only half fructose amd half glucose. All bad for different reasons.
It is worth noting that our ancestors were only able to consume the meat that they were able to hunt. It is unlikely that they could consume meat everyday. Most people struggle to hunt as it is actually very hard to do, and hard to be consistent day in day out.
Great info, but I really wish you had made sure to point out how our meats in stores and restaurants aren't the same as had always been in the past. The animals now are crammed into tight spaces and fed garbage rather than eating as God intended in pastures and out in the wild. HUGE difference....emphasis on the word HUGE because that's what we become if we eat the current meats commonly available throughout the meat industries, sadly.
@@mello.b3373 my point I guess I should have explained better is to merely say meat can be misleading since so much of what is available in stores and restaurants is the wrong types of meat. Explaining what to look for for the correct meats is what I would have liked to have heard in this presentation along with all the other very valuable information presented.
@@laurawillingham1965 processed meats cause cancer, 50 mg is enough, says CDC. Sugars and grains make you fat, b/c they burn faster and hotter than fat. So body stores fat til later. But we eat a sugar or grain, constantly, so body never gets a chance to burn the fat. Grass-Feed mats are what you are looking for. In-short, if your an alpha-azzhole, stay away from red meats. If your a creative type, stay up late, etc. You need red meat 1-3x/day. We all should eat more fruits and veggies, nuts, micro-greens etc. Add fermented food too your diet. Use magnesium in tub, look for a good source of potassium.... and so-on.... Price / Pottenger Foundation for more info.
@@laurawillingham1965 It s mostly anthropology, it s the studies of the past, normal he dont talk about now. Personally I dont eat from store or restaurant food. I eat grass fed animals from farmer that I know and meet each 3 month, who treat them good.

Thank you. That was fascinating. I've been ketogenic for about a year, and am currently on a five day fast. Day three now, and I feel no hunger and my energy levels are those of a thirty year old - I'm 69.

@@donepearce I have heard advocates of fasting recently say that they do no recommend extended fasts for normal weight people, so I'm glad you have let it go. Those with excess fat can tolerate and even thrive on it. My fat is a bit high but I am of normal weight: I tried a multiple day fast at a fasting center a few years ago and was miserable. I never hit a time where my desire for food went away. I am whittling the fat away and I find this sustainable.
The mummy teeth also show signs of rampant and severe periodontal (gum) disease, which has been correlated with uncontrolled diabetics. Fascinating stuff and more proof that the cereal grasses aren't good for the human diet.
Low carb is for starters. What all this really leads to, is the necessity of eating meat. The more, the better. Or... the less plant matter, the better.
@@1111lizzard There's a boat load of plant toxins in plants. There's no such thing as meat toxins. Eat grass fed beef -- it saves our planet, saves our health, and prevents the immense animal cruelty of standard vegan diets.
The message I get is, we need more minerals. Boron, Iodine, etc along with meat and eggs, particularly organ meat as in liver, not just muscle. We don't need a lot of meat, but we need to compensate the veggies with supplements, particularly minerals, and we need to pressure cook much of the veggies and grains to reduce the level of anti-nutrients. But that is what I have been doing. 1/4 tsp borax in my qt of water along with about 150 mg iodine (not mcg, yes 1000x recommended level) as potassium iodide crystals. We actually eat an excessive amounts of meat in many cases, and mostly the wrong ones. Liver is probably the most nutrient rich food one can eat. Must be grass fed.
Interesting but I don't understand the title. It is not about the last 30 years of nutritional data at all. Plus, there are societies that admire fat, usually ones where there is a possibility for shortage, thus showing wealth. Would Egyptian teeth be as ground down if not for the sand?
Why would anyone want to ‘break someone from being a vegetarian’ (16:00)?! Even if meat helped our evolution. Personally I think it’s a totally healthy and personal choice. Especially given the way animals are drugged and treated these days.
That's a separate issue, the treatment and practices of raising animals for food. When raised in the most natural way possible it is the most optimal food for us to "thrive", not just survive.
Bc a vegetable based diet is not our optimal diet as he pretty well explained here.... But there are so many reasons to prefer meat over vegetables there is no comparison nutritionally not even close
For anyone who cares: "artofagoi" is actually an ancient greek word. It means: eaters ("fagoi") of bread ("artos"). The correct pronunciation is: "ar-to-fa-yi"
We may have, in the last few hundred years, moved away from the diet we are evolved over thousands of years to eat, however, the human lifespan has nearly tripled as a result. Why is this not mentioned? And at 25:10 he mentions that human health declined when we switched from hunting and gathering to agriculture. Is it possible that could be attributed more to the decrease in physical activity that resulted from having most of your food sprouting from the ground at your feet rather than having most of your food come from hours and sometimes days walking and running while tracking and chasing down animals?
Mello.B33 indigenous people have far longer life spans before they were colonized by Europeans. All of my great grandparents and their siblings lived to be over 100 simply eating what was available which included pork, turtles, deer, rabbits, eggs, squirrels, possum, fish, beef, chicken with corn, greens and rice etc. They had no Alzheimer's didn't lose their hair and were still muscular into their 70' s. and died in their sleep.

Empty their guts into jars.

You can speculate a lot of things but when you look at the long list the laundry list of chronic inflammation and illness that people have today and by simply eliminating carbohydrates and eating only meat 99% of these ailments seem to disappear and it is repeated it is over and over so prevalently that these nonsense claims of genetic outliers is complete and utter garbage argument but believe what you will
What I don't understand is why would early man choose to eat the most difficult to obtain and hardest to eat and digest food source. Why on earth would they suddenly decide at some point to farm grains? They wouldn't of course unless they had been enjoying them as a considerable part of their diet prior to the agricultural revolution. I also have a problem with the meat built the brain theory as the brains primary "food source" is glucose and meat cannot provide glucose in any form as far as I'm aware. There's also the case of the blue zones where people have the longest and healthiest lives on the planet and they are all low red meat consumers. I'm open to all ideas, especially when backed by science and have an open mind to all ideas and concepts but I really need to have these questions of mine cleared up.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluconeogenesis breaks fat down to produce glucose. Our digestive tract, the fact that we walk up-right and our brain size are proof that meat built the brain. The blue zones argument is like the Sodium argument (healthy populations around the world consume anywhere from 0.3g to 30g of sodium per day so excess sodium does not cause heart disease); correlation does not imply causation. As to why farm grains? Because it's easy to preserve and stockpile before refrigeration was invented. If you control land and stock piles of food you control everything.
This is my list of favorite “carnivore” talks on RUclips. I’ve been running down this rabbit hole for the past two months, the keto rabbit hole for five months past that.

Good luck to you! ruclips.net/p/PL9XvjzpSxAChovXKQdjd55YWesPqRJ7Jb
When did a plant based diet ever really remain plant. You people always eat out of packets and boxes. Kellogg's have a wonderful time making money out of vegans for a kick-off. To quote one Dr. Zoe Harcombe "Man is the only species clever enough to make his own food and stupid enough to eat it."
@Ru22eLL Not if it's by voluntary accreditation; just as long as it isn't imposed by a corrupt gangster-like corporation calling itself the state and that people can choose for themselves where to put their trust, taking responsibility for their lives - not submitting like mindless sheep to the slaughterhouse of state imposed corporate "medicine".
@Ru22eLL Anywhere? It's everywhere where there is even an iota of free association! You're watching some of the market alternatives to state medicine in this presentation; and every professional point of view is represented by multiple associations to advance their cause and educate the public from whom they hope to win clients. Most people are indoctrinated into slavish complacency and wouldn't dream of taking responsibility for their own well being, prefering to be told what to do by men with guns. Changes in life expectancy are about the effect of higher standard of living where free trade is tolerated, allowing children to be better fed and living in more hygienic conditions - not at all about longer normal lifespans. State controlled gangster medicine has brought about untold suffering and shortened lives.
@Ru22eLL Gangsters don't ask you if you'd like to buy their goods and services, they make you "an offer you can't refuse" backed up by violence. The only difference being that the state pretends it's for your own good; so gangsters are far more honest.
@Ru22eLL There is nothing managed by the state that is managed honestly, efficiently, or well in any way. It's only in the free competitive market where you have honest and efficient rules to follow. Those who hurt others though negligence, dishonesty, or incompetence will be held liable by their victims; but you cannot easily sue the state nor the corrupt corporations which impose their evil on the public through their control of the state's regulators to the detriment of their competition and public victims.
@Ru22eLL So called "modern medicine and food production" is murderous poison to both people and the environment. E.g., much of the advances in "life expectancy" are due to the discovery of antibiotics; yet under the stewardship of state health agencies they have been so misused and abused that they are expected to soon stop working altogether. Thousands are dieing, soon to be millions and eventually billions, due to the incompetence and corruption of the state, unless alternatives are found, some of which will more likely be traditional medicine that's being persecuted by the state. So you seem to be saying you'd choose a quack for brain surgery to save a few bucks. Personally, I'd choose the most qualified and credentialed brain surgeon I could find; and, no doubt, he'd be a much better and affordable surgeon in a competitive medical marketplace without the corrupt professional protectionist racketeering they call state regulated medicine.
I am aware that those in Egypt liked their grains. And back then their bread was not processed food as it is today. Moobs are found in men who are overweight, so certainly that would be a logical cause of their breast moobs. They did also eat animals. Eating seed oils is not the healthiest choice, as they have lots of calories. I have never heard before that wheat has phytoestrogens (which are a WEAK variation of estrogens found in humans, as Estradiol). In addition, phyto (plant) estrogens are Beta, and actually LOWER estrogen amounts in men and women and have been proven in multiple studies to be healthy for women with breast cancer and men with prostate cancer (and to prevent those cancers), while animal products have Alpha/growth stimulating properties. The humans who diss phytoestrogens, as in soy, ignore all of the animal hormones they eat in their daily meals. Humans have no need for any amount of non-human animal hormones. From my research, wheat GERM has some phytoestrogens, but the germ is a small part of the entire wheat kernel.
A lot of Females find all criticism patronizing. FYI, for any who read past that comment: I discovered that I sometimes have throbbing headache, little bit above the neck, which might feel worse when you try to lay down to rest. One time it became so bad that I couldn’t sleep even after taken pain relief pills. Eventually I felt a urge to vomit. As soon as I threw up my stomach content, the headache went away. Recently this happened again after I ate some questionable food. Similar sequence of action took place. It’s safe to conclude that I had food poisoning. Otherwise times it was milder and I was able to sleep it out. Our gut indeed evolved to support more brain activity and health, and it can be compromised when your gut run into problems. My other hypothesis is the poisoning is caused by some questionable plant food.
That's what I was thinking, that it was climate related, thank you for the comment. I mean people were good hunters but i don't think they could have killed off all the mega stuff, there just weren't enough humans to feed.
Hey Dude, Arkansas is a great place. I spent a few years there and wish I still lived in the Arkansas Ozark Mountains. But, yes, I’d stay away from Little Rock.
This is fascinating information about the PAST, but has no relevance to what we should eat today. First, for most people, the meat we can eat is not as healthy as the meat they could eat AND has lots of toxic chemicals in it. Second, no one in their right is eating as limited a plant- based diet as the farmers in the Kentucky region he was reporting on. So who cares what diseases they had? Third, we have lots of better scientific evidence on what diet is healthiest overall in the LONG-RUN, and it ain't low carb with lots of animal foods. For overall, long-term health, diets that are very low in fat (~7-15% of calories) and that are dominated by WHOLE plant foods (vegan or mostly vegan) have an unmatched track record that indicates they are the healthiest. OBESITY is related to a wide range of other diseases (diabetes, heart disease, cancers) and health problems (e.g., failing joints, low energy), and is an epidemic in America, with 70% of Americans being overweight or obese. So far, the all-you-can-eat diet that has achieved the best weight loss after one year in a randomized controlled study is a whole food plant-based diet with 7-15% calories from fat. Notice that this is a fraction of the fat intake found in diets that Americans commonly but misleadingly call “low-fat” diets. www.nature.com/articles/nutd20173 thebroadstudy.com/ Significantly, the original intervention only ran three months, but people who were on the diet during the experiment kept on the diet and kept losing weight from three to six month, and then maintained their weight loss from six to twelve months. DIABETES is a growing epidemic in America, with over one-third of Americans being pre-diabetic or diabetic. Very low carb, high-fat ketogenic diets have become popular, and these can achieve significant weight loss and improvement in biomarkers and blood glucose control. However, these diets are not really curing the underlying diabetes (carbohydrate intolerance and insulin resistance), they are merely hiding its symptoms by not feeding the body any significant amount of carbohydrates. The human body evolved to efficiently process large quantities of whole food carbohydrates, so the inability to process carbohydrates safely is not normal or healthy. However, WHOLE food plant-based diets with 7-15% calories from fat have been repeatedly demonstrated to bring diabetics’ blood glucose levels under control while having numerous other side benefits for heart health, inflammation, etc. For example, here is a randomized controlled trial in which a WHOLE food plant-based diets with 7-15% calories from fat brought diabetics’ blood glucose levels under control and lowered their LDL levels by 39% in just three weeks and on a diet with 73% calories from carbohydrates. To see an overview of the results, see the 2:47 mark in nutritionfacts.org/video/benefits-of-a-macrobiotic-diet-for-diabetes/ The direct link to the study is Soare A, Khazrai YM, Del Toro R, et al. The effect of the macrobiotic Ma-Pi 2 diet vs. the recommended diet in the management of type 2 diabetes: the randomized controlled MADIAB trial. Nutr Metab (Lond). 2014;11:39. Many people can’t believe a diet that is very high in carbs can cure diabetes for most people but that is because a) they never got their fat intake low enough to cure their insulin resistance, and b) the carbs they are eating are processed carbs that cause a faster rise in blood glucose levels than do WHOLE food carbs-especially when eaten in the context of lots of vegetables and fiber. In reality, all large, slim, and relatively diabetes free populations have historically gotten most of their calories from whole food carbs-rice, wheat, barley, potatoes, farro, millet, sorghum, spelt, corn, etc. HEART DISEASE is the #1 killer of men and women in the western world, and although we usually only label someone as “having heart disease” after they have an incident, in reality, the vast majority of westerners have diseased coronary arteries and generally had plaque build-up in their arteries by the time they were ten years old. This is not normal or healthy as the impaired functioning or our arteries gives rise to a wide range of other conditions and diseases (angina, heart attacks, strokes, erectile dysfunction, some migraines, dementia, neuropathy, diabetic nerve pain, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, glaucoma, etc.). The only diet that has been shown to be able to stop even serious heart disease in its tracks and achieve some reversal of atherosclerosis in multiple multi-year studies-while dropping rates of major CVD events to zero or close to zero is a WHOLE food plant-based diets with 7-15% calories from fat. For example, see dresselstyn.com/JFP_06307_Article1.pdf www.dresselstyn.com/Esselstyn_Three-case-reports_Exp-Clin-Cardiol-July-2014.pdf Added sugars are NOT healthy, but in the context of the sugar-fat debate, it is worth noting that Dr. Esselstyn was able stop the progression of heart disease, achieve some plaque shrinkage, and avoid future major CVD events even in “death’s doorstep” heart disease patients who were compliant with his original diet-a diet which did NOT limit sugar. www.dresselstyn.com/site/study01/ www.dresselstyn.com/site/study02/ www.dresselstyn.com/site/study03/
CANCERS: In general, people eating a whole food plant-based diet have lower or much lower rates of various cancers and better cancer survival. Here is an ocean of related research: nutritionfacts.org/topics/cancer/ OXIDATIVE STRESS and INFLAMMATION are involved in most major chronic diseases. Significantly, the most anti-inflammatory diet you can eat if a whole food plant-based diet, and plant foods have on average, 64 times as much antioxidant punch as does the average animal food. Carlsen MH, Halvorsen BL, Holte K, Bøhn SK, Dragland S, Sampson L, Willey C, Senoo H, Umezono Y, Sanada C, Barikmo I, Berhe N, Willett WC, Phillips KM, Jacobs DR Jr, Blomhoff R. The total antioxidant content of more than 3100 foods, beverages, spices, herbs and supplements used worldwide. Nutr J. 2010 Jan 22;9:3. nutritionfacts.org/video/antioxidant-power-of-plant-foods-versus-animal-foods/ TOXINS: Toxic industrial and agricultural chemicals naturally accumulate in the fat of animals, and these toxins include chemicals that are obesogenic, diabesogenic, atherogenic, mutagenic, carcinogenic, neurotoxins, and endocrine disruptors (which disrupt fertility and reproduction). These toxic chemicals naturally accumulate at high levels in animal fat through the processes of bioaccumulation and biomagnification. Bioaccumulation: A cow eats grass with trace amounts of toxic chemicals in it, and some of those chemicals wind up in their fat, and as they eat more and more grass, the levels of toxic chemicals build up. Biomagnification: A predator (wolf, eagle, tuna, human) that eats other animals that have toxic chemicals built up in their bodies can wind up with extremely high levels of toxins in their bodies. The general rule to avoid toxic chemicals in your food is to eat as low on the food chain as possible, which basically means eating plant foods-but avoiding those that are sprayed heavily (e.g., non-organic strawberries). One side benefit of eating lots of whole plant foods is that they boost your body’s ability to detoxify itself. As a result, people who eat vegetarian and vegan diets typically have much lower levels of toxic chemicals in their bodies than do those who eat meat or meat and dairy. For example, see the following short video summarizing the research on one class of pollutants (links to the studies summarized in the video can be found by clicking “Sources Cited” under the video). nutritionfacts.org/video/flame-retardant-pollutants-and-child-development/
Then there is a mountain of studies showing the benefits of low-fat whole food plant-based diets for pretty much every health condition under the sun. Wanna' get rates of gallstones and diverticulitis to zero? VLF WFPB diets can do that. Wanna' reduce or eliminate acne and improve osteoarthritis? They can do that to. Wanna' get your risk of dementia as low as possible even though you have the genetic marker that predisposes you to greater dementia risk? They can do that too. Etc. Etc. Take care.
While not scientific but certainly observational, IMO, it is safe to say high meat/low carb consumption works well for some people and the opposite works well for others. We are far from a once size fits all group of creatures. We certainly are not all allergic to the same things. I absolutely love bread. I bake bread and used to eat copious amounts of bread and in the last 5 years seem to be consuming more medications than food {BP, A1C, LDL weight all in the wrong direction}. Making drastic reductions in bread consumption, and a switch to more Rye based breads {sourdough breads are "SUPPOSED" to be better than white bread but don't like the taste}, made a major difference for me including weight loss. Would the same work for everyone else? Maybe for most but I doubt it for all. And if a switch to more meat less carbs occurred world wide, would we have the resources to feed the approximately 7.3 billion people on this planet?
Early Humans DID NOT hunt early MegaFauna to extinction. That's one of the Biggest MYTHS promoted by Modern Anthropology. To suggest that early hunters completely wiped out their food source is absolute nonsense. Early humans were in fact intelligent and possessed a very high level technological development. Suggesting otherwise demonstrates a lack of tool knowledge. Stone knives were incredibly sharp and when used to cut flesh did not easily dull. "Cavemen" were much more sophisticated than is generally believed. I am really enjoying Dr. Eades presentation except for the statements suggesting evolving humans cause mega-fauna extinction because of hunting. That's completely without any foundational support. There is however mountains of archeological evidence of a catastrophic event. Perhaps an unusually large Solar Flare that rapidly melted the global glaciation. The Mega Fauna went extinct because of Cataclysmic Events. Perhaps this good doctor is unaware of recent archeological discoveries.
Yet medieval Europeans (heavily agricultural) had great teeth... up until the 16th century when sugar came in. I can believe that the types of plant used in agriculture are detrimental, but I wouldn't agree that a vegetarian diet per se is bad. In fact quite the opposite, especially if the varietals are right, along with higher CO levels and fertile soils. Lucy and the other so called human ancestors are either extinct varieties of humans, humans suffering from bone pathologies (e.g. rickets) or apes; the point being they (paleontologists) are often unable to clearly distinguish between species given the fragmented remains and very small sample sizes. The phenotypes are highly speculative, and more subject to artistic imagination than actual data (Lucy for example is a very fragmented specimen leaving a lot to speculation). Following conventional anthropology and paleontology is risky as a result of this poor quality data. Worse it is clouded by evolutionary theory. The creationist point of view provides an alternative perspective; that humans were originally vegetarian, eating meat was a later - less than ideal - allowance in a failing world. Ideally you would want to move towards increasing the proportion of your diet that is vegetarian.
See when people try to lean on the scripture and claim it was vegetarian they are missing the whole picture because in the garden yes it was vegetarian however after they left the garden what happened He told them to eat animals for their food or you look at Noah and the ark He told them to eat animals for their food look at Peter in Acts 10 eat animals for food or when Jesus told them to cast their nets on the other side of the boat and they caught a massive amount of fish and when they came to the shore he was cooking a fish on a fire so many instances talking about how they sat at meat etc So to claim the biblical perspective is vegetarian is really nonsensical

Ancel Keys was on the dole of the sugar industry. The sugar industry was paying Keys to do corrupt "research" blame fats for the diseases that sugar causes. To find the document proving that, look at the reference section of Gary Taubes' book "The Case Against Sugar". The publicly-traded corporations that are in the sugar, carbohydrate, seed oil, and pharmaceutical industries are just as evil and corrupt as the tobacco industry.
@Mike Adams A meaningless video link which has no point nor does it have any evidence which refuted the case that Ancel Keys et al cherrypicked data due to bad science, corruption, conformation bias and hubris! Read the book “Pure White and Deady” by John Yudkin and Robert H Lustig
You did not address processed food which makes up a large percentage of modern man/women's diet in developed countries. At least if you cook at home you can control what is in what you eat. Furthermore, after being in the cardiovascular business for 30 years, the total absence of animal protein in a diet is what you want to achieve. Then you can die of other causes besides CV disease.

The only problem i have with this is that the average neanderthal died very young. Besides that only the rich egyptians where mummies(because they could afford that) and only the rich could afford large quantities of meat. So blaming the carbs is still not justified. I am more interested in the people in this world at this moment... Who have very much 100 year olds? Are they hunters or plant eaters or something in between? Besides this if you want a lot of estrogens, eat cheese instead of carbs.
A Canadian military doctor in Afghanistan reported wounded Americans and Canadians would likely have fat no matter where the wound on the body.....whereas Afghans wounded showed no fat. He also pointed out the Pacific islands where "civilization" had not reached found the population not obese from eating breadfruit and seafood whereas the population on the developed islands were obese....similar to the Canadian Indians who once lived in the wilderness were not obese but after living collectively in a town were consuming Pepsi and Cheetos.
The kind of "carbs" that are harmful in their own right almost always come mixed with lots of unhealthy fats. BOTH are bad: processed carbs AND unhealthy fats (oils, transfats and saturated fat) are disastrous for our health. On the other hand, nutrient dense whole food plant based carbs such as vegetables, fruits, beans and moderate amounts of intact whole grains are healthy carbs just as nuts, seeds and avocados are healthy fats. By the way I'm NOT vegan and I'm not a purist. I'm a 66 year old woman with a strong family history of heart disease and I have no interest in messing around with a story. I'm with Dr Ornish's landmark research. He REVERSED coronary artery disease, not in prehistoric times, but in modern times. There are pictures to prove it. I'm with Dr. Greger and Dr Fuhrman. I'm with science.
Whata bunch of baloney. The helathiest people I know are all vegetarians, my neighbours lived to 97 and 100 (man and woman) and never ate meat in their lives. Besides the ancient Egyptians sure seemed to kick the asses of all the carnivores around them
Greeks and Romans had also a carbohydrate (wheat) diet and if we look in the museums as done with the Egyptians we see the best more attractive anatomies, they represent the perfect human body and they eat almost the same foods
its a bit harder to tell with Greco Roman what the effect of their diet had on them since they were generally cremated ( with some exceptions for those living in Egypt, and the Pompeii victims) , however from my recollections from some study many years ago, their medical texts hinted at similiar issues with obesity and heart disease, certainly amongst the upper classes. As far as icongraphy is concerned you can take that as representative of the general population as magazine images are today - an idealised misrepresentation of the reality - the Pompeii victims as far as can be reconstructed, were little different to people today , although obesity was less prevalent
No, ancient Greeks had a large variety of food sources because grains were far less available. Greek soil is relatively poor. So there would have to rely on other sources as olives, grapes, fish (they were top sailors) syconium fruit and some dairy.
Stanb662000 Not surprising as certainly disease follows obesity and sloth, which was the privilege of the upper classes back in those times. As much as antiquity is a fascinating subject, there are too many unknowns to draw valid conclusions as to what is best for our species in this day and age.
I think this talk kind of misses the mark. Life expectancy for most of human history was under 30 years. If you’re only planning on living to 30 it probably doesn’t matter what you eat. If you look at the diets of people who live in the blue zones there’s hardly any meat. If you look at the diets of centenarians there’s basically none. Do you want to eat like your distant ancestors or do you want to live a long time?
Long life is wonderful if you are healthy and active and you have the money to pay for it. I see alot of old sick people with dementia. These people require nearly 24/7 care and could live theoretically 20 years being entirely dependent upon others. Suddenly a heart attack doesn't look so bad.
Our ability to cook and digest starchy carbs is what gave our brains the additional glucose it needed to grow. Our body's preferred fuel source is glucose. This is a fundamental fact of biochemistry. Kind of strange then when people keep suggesting we should avoid carbs.
Our body can make the glucose.. so I'm not sure what you think is strange.. If we can make glucose from protein, why do we need to eat it? If what you say is true, I should be dead. Anyone eating carnivore would die bc their brains die from lack of energy.
Lulu, Drinker of Coffee Ha... love your name, having a steaming cup a as I write... You won’t die of brain death, but you may find your liver and kidney function compromised by a carnivore diet over time, and your arteries blocked. That said there is individual variation amongst humans, literally one man’s meat is another’s poison. Best of health to you! 🌱
@@luludrinkerofcoffee4035 so you would rather your body use protein as a fuel source instead of building muscle? Makes complete sense...also, tell me how much can the body make versus how much it needs. Especially considering 60 percent of the requirements are for the brain alone. There you will find your answer.
From a biochemical point of view fats and carbs are: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Proteins are: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur. Maybe the carnivores are right, we should just eat proteins(aka lean meat/organs)...since from protein, any macro-nutrient can be manufactured by the body for the body. A quote comes to mind from the matrix movie, from the eating scene, the black guy says that the goo they eat contains amino acids(aka protein), vitamins and minerals, everything the body needs... maybe a subliminal msg
Take a spectrometer, classify food groups according to their "Frequency", align these foods with the "frequency" of the photon energy radiating from the Sun at 2 hour intervals beginning at sunrise and you will see your first clue about " When to eat What". The 24 hour circadian cycle is the master regulator, and peripheral regulator of Metabolic function both Glandular and organ. The moon cycles regulate both menstrual and gestation cycles. It is NOT what you eat but more specifically "when you eat what you eat". We are much more advanced than Paleolithic man. We are updatable, upgradable cybernetic beings capable of re-programming DNA function through conscious intention and re-patterning of brain frequencies thereby modifying cellular environment. The Quanta and fractals hold the information that codes function NOT molecular food particles known as food. This mass of nutrients is not the Code that drives function or life. This limiting view limits self expression and ultimately affects the rate of aging. Time to move beyond food. Q-Life answers all. Peace
As soon as you said "Man wiped out all the big game in a thousand years." your credibility plummeted. There is no way ancient man could have destroyed herds of 10s of millions of mega-fauna individuals and 120 species of those mega-fauna. No hunter society would do that. And it is physically impossible for a few thousand humans to do that. You may have good science on the nutritional side. But you should seriously think about revising your beliefs about the demise of ice age mammals.
@@elzee4253 Locally, hunter gathers would be aware of populations and it was in their own interest to limit harvest. If deer were decimated by disease they would fish.
@@elzee4253 That statement is a misleading generality. Modern hunter gathers have "areas". While they may move a settlement periodically, most have been living in a relatively confined area for hundreds if not thousands of years. Making assumptions about the lifestyles of peoples who lived thousands of years ago is a great way to have a premise full of error. You should do a little research on North American Indians. They made cities as "hunter-gatherers".
Commercially processed food is the achilles heel of human health. Up until the introduction of convenience food, even Bill Clinton was fairly healthy. Lol.
1. "everyone who wouldn't be healthy on meat and water was bred out", yet all the oldest civilizations (romans, greeks, indians and chinese) were all basically vegan who only had meat rarely. 2. the doctor giving the presentation is out of shape. this isn't really an argument but still. 3. the inuits are not the original form of humans. you think that living in greenland is the natural way of being human? everyone developed in a different way depending on the environment he was living in 4. since when the average diet is one of 3000 kcal? most humans require less than that 5. he automatically links the increase of calories with the consumption of meat. based on what? only he knows. in reality it seems more logical that humans started to eat more calories due to learning how to get more calories from plants (so from primitive forms of agriculture) 6. we are clearly not herbivores nor carnivores. nature is not a librarian which separates into distinct categories but it's a mess of a process that has thousands of variables 7. the part about egypt is really ridiculous. he thinks those statues are statues of the soldiers or of the common people? the fat statues reflect the rich egyptians, who, contrary to the popolus, ate a lot of meat. the same thing happened in the middle age. the rich, kings, dukes etc. all ate meat, and were all obese and would die early due to their poor diet whereas the poor people, eating mostly plants, were slim and lived longer. he shows the mummies with clogged arteries and he thinks that those people were eating carbs? is he stupid or what? he thinks the common egyptians were mummified? it was the rich one who got mummified, so the ones eating a lot of meat. what a way to twist the evidence. i don't know if he's lying or just mistaken. he dismisses this huge thing just by quoting 1 study, ignoring all the rest of the evidence which points to the opposite of what he said or to the fact that nowadays, in modern studies, hearth disease is close to NON EXISTENT in vegans, which again proves him 100 % wrong. 8. the whole "our ancestor" thing is so stupid i am amazed at how many people bring it up all the time. our ancestors prayed to make it rain. should we keep doing it because our ancestors did? all the studies pretty much show that a vegetable diet is superior in terms of health to anything else, so what value does imitating our ancestors exactly bring?
I watched and listened to this video expecting to learn about what is flawed in the last 30 years of nutritional science. Bullshit. You talked about ancient civilizations diets. What do I do with this information?? I must have missed the point but I don't know where!! I got to the end of this, and I don't have any information about the last thirty years of nutrition. WTF!!
frank brown You ought to give it a listen, he’s a pretty entertaining guy! Learned a bit about dietary isotopes, and was with him until he skated out on thin ice and got sloppy on the Egyptian segment of the talk. At that point it was an eye rolling marathon. All in all, though...entertaining!🌱
That goes both ways. It seems to me if we keep eating as the last few years it will only get worse so it is obvious we are not doing something right and what our government and nutritionists are telling us in not true. If we were to believe the Food Manufacturers we will not only get sicker we will live in pain for most of our lives. For those that do not believe go ahead and eat your breads , your cereals and your carbs for the rest of us that know this is bad for us it will get better.
Enrique Martinez see right there you’re conflating two completely different. Almost everyone is ignorant to what a carbohydrate is....so ... Some hundreds of millions of years ago, plants developed the ability to take energy from the sun (along with carbon dioxide and water) and make carbohydrates. The process, called photosynthesis, allowed plants to store energy in the form of carbohydrates. This allowed the flourishing of organisms that lacked the ability for photosynthesis, since they were now able to obtain energy by eating carbohydrates in plants. (The entire animal kingdom) 🧠 runs on glucose We are supposed to use carbohydrates (fruits, vegetables seeds...) for energy. A constant supply is not required but explaining glycogen and other metabolic processes is a different topic completely but 2 evolutionary adaptations for our species along the way include amylase for starch digestion and the ability to use animals for energy in times where our preferred fuel source is not available, including the whole Keto thing during famines Where you are correct is that we are not supposed to consume our preferred energy source in refined forms.
@@ianchabot3761 I know what you are talking about but I can see your bias when it comes to where we get our energy from; herbivores do the work for us when it comes to transforming carbohydrates into amino acids which is one of the things we get from eating meat and saturated fat from animals; we can't get amino acids from plants as you well know and that is one of the reasons all these vegans have to take supplements. You also failed to mention that our gut is much smaller than all the other apes (our cousins) for the same reason that we don't need to ingest large numbers of plants but a minimum amount plus the meat and fat from animals which make up for the most of our calories.
I've been doing the keto diet for over a year now, and I haven't felt better. I dropped over 45 lbs and my moods and mental functioning have improved greatly. I'm over 50 and I feel like I did in my 20's. For me, it was the best change in lifestyle and I don't foresee myself going back to a carb based diet again.

I started intermittent fasting, one meal a day, about 15 months ago. About a year ago I started paying attention to carbs, and greatly minimizing them. It takes a while, probably a month at least, but gradually it becomes clear just how bad carbs really are. They are literally addictive. Unlike fat and protein that make you feel full and not want to eat, carbs actually make you want to eat more. Carbs are inflammatory, causing joints to become inflamed increasing stiffness and decreasing range of motion. Carbs interfere with sleep and contribute to brain fog. This is not from reading, this is my actual experience over more than a year of eating sometimes strict keto, other times more paleo (low carbs like keto but more protein than keto) and sometimes eating more carbs. Even when I eat more carbs, its more compared to keto but still very low compared to modern normal diet recommendations. Yet even that low amount of carbs is enough to trigger all the bad responses. No wonder I feel amazingly better now on a low carb diet than I have ever felt in my entire life, even though I am over 60!

Fascinating connections! It was also found in a mummy from ancient China.
“The Lady of Dai, also known as Xin Zhui, lived during the Han dynasty (206 BCE - 220 AD) and was the wife of the Marquis of Dai.

According to an autopsy, Xin Zhui was overweight, suffered from back pain, high blood pressure, clogged arteries, liver disease, gallstones, diabetes and had a severely damaged heart.”

All grains are evil!
If you look at nutrition labels on various foods, you’ll see that it is recommended that we eat 300 grams of carbohydrates per day on a 2000 calorie diet. Meaningless unless you put it in perspective. The average human has 5 liters of blood, 2 1/2 Coke bottles worth. Average blood sugar for a non-diabetic is around 100 mg/dL. That means for your entire volume of blood, you have one teaspoon of glucose. Those 300 grams of carbs break down into 1 1/2 cups of sugar. Your body has to dispose of all that sugar. So it puts out a massive amount of insulin to move it into your cells. How this advice (300 grams of carbs) became official is a prime example of government incompetence in action. Tom Naughton gives a great explanation of the process in his “Wisdom of Crowds” speech.
To be fair, that 100mg/dl of glucose is what the body can utilize in about 5-10 minutes...
No, not government incompetence, but industry bribery.
Modern government is just an extension of industry.
Wonderfully entertaining, but even more wonderfully informative and convincing that Dr Eades and his colleagues have been right all along. And I am benefitting from their wisdom and their careful research along with untold others whose names they will never know!

Amazing research and presentation of precision data with excellent descriptions of the processes involved in obtaining and evaluating the data.

19:40 Dr. Eades talks about the shift from eating terrestrial animals to marine animals ... obviously he doesn't know about all the research that shows there was no land bridge migration and the large animals of that time were actually wiped out by a catastrophic and sudden transition into the Younger Dryas global cooling event. If I remember correctly this was the event that resulted in Woolly Mammoth and other species being flash frozen because of the sudden temperature change to well below freezing. Suggested reading "Not by Fire but by Ice" by Robert W. Felix
Younger Dryas didn't wipe out the megafauna, we did.
@@RUclipsr-ep5xx sure, humans killed ALL the megafauna in the western hemisphere and northern eurasia. that would take a LOT of hunting and killing without guns so, probably not. odd that all the megafauna didn't get hunted out of existence in africa, australia and south eurasia. maybe the humans there were just smarter about it all.
sometimes it takes a while for newer theories to be accepted, even when they make a lot more fucking sense. kinda like what eades is talking about in this here lecture.
always nice to hear a lecture from sheriff longmire
The literature is full of tales about the ancient everlasting conflict between nomadic hunter-gaterer or pastoralist populations and static "civilized" agricultural ones.

I find it fascinating that even with all the data and many people's own experiences that point, to make it simple, LCHF diet is good and that even in this comments section are those saying only for some people does that work but others it doesn't and that they can't see what many of us do see with the epidemic which I see among my fellow Americans with poor health.. I will name drop some names... Dr. Eric Berg, Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Sara Halberg, Dr. Ken Berry have been preaching for at least since I became interested in this the last 3 or 4 years (maybe longer for these docs) that i know of that the LCHF diet is the way we all should be eating or we will eventually succumb to what was my reason to look for answers which was bad health and diabetes type II which I thought was treated not correctly by my main stream physician. I was only getting worse with her treatments. Why can't people see that what we are eating is killing us? Is it because of what I call a conspiracy in medical community to keep us sick? Why doesn't anyone question anything anymore? There are so many food myths I grew up with, learning that most of it was BS has been a real treat these past 4 years. My favorite myth is that Wheat is good for us. And yet there will be haters which will have to comment even on my comments. Haters got to hate.

Carbs are tasty, cheap and make you feel good and also a marketers dream, look at the "Chip" isle in your grocery store.
Chips and kale are both high in carbs. "Carbs" are just macronutrients. Whipped cream is mainly fat as are walnuts. It's not about the macronutrients as much as the micronutrients.
@@sectionalsofa Kale?
@@toni4729 Yes. Of three caloric macro-nutrients, kale is a little more than 50% carbs, a little less than 50% protein and about 5 or so % fat. The rest is water.
@@sectionalsofa Nothing is that good, not even beef liver and nothing comes better than that. You just counted up fifty+fifty+five=a bit more than a 100% and you didn't even consider the ninety odd percent water.
@@toni4729 I'm talking about the caloric makeup of macronutrients. Kale is largely water but that contains zero calories. I looked at a chart and this was my rough conversion. Let's say, 52%, 44% and 4%. And 0 for water. The point is, the calories in green leafy vegetables come mostly from carbs and protein. Not all carbs are bad and not all carbs are created equal. Same goes for fat.
Outstanding presentation
Thank you
This is very interesting, It seems to indicate that consuming wheat may be almost as detrimental as sugar, however I suspect what was happening is the Egyptians were converting large quantities of the wheat to beer and then consuming large amounts of ethanol which would be as bad as sugar.
yours is pure speculation
white wheat is worse than sugar IMHO
Id say alcohol and frustose, as metabolized in the lover, is much worse than sugar as that is only half fructose amd half glucose. All bad for different reasons.
@@dana102083 You would be mistaken. Here is a nice explanation why.
ruclips.net/video/f_4Q9Iv7_Ao/видео.html
Wheat = slow carbs. Starch = polysaccharide, in other words sugars linked together.
It is worth noting that our ancestors were only able to consume the meat that they were able to hunt. It is unlikely that they could consume meat everyday. Most people struggle to hunt as it is actually very hard to do, and hard to be consistent day in day out.
Loved this lecture. Great voice, too.
~12,500 years ago there was a global cataclysm that wiped out: the North American Megafauna, many of us, and permanently changed our diet.
Yup, flash frozen Mammoths. HUnters would have needed machineguns to kill all those animals so shortly.
Great info, but I really wish you had made sure to point out how our meats in stores and restaurants aren't the same as had always been in the past. The animals now are crammed into tight spaces and fed garbage rather than eating as God intended in pastures and out in the wild. HUGE difference....emphasis on the word HUGE because that's what we become if we eat the current meats commonly available throughout the meat industries, sadly.
@@mello.b3373 my point I guess I should have explained better is to merely say meat can be misleading since so much of what is available in stores and restaurants is the wrong types of meat.

@@laurawillingham1965 processed meats cause cancer, 50 mg is enough, says CDC. Sugars and grains make you fat, b/c they burn faster and hotter than fat. So body stores fat til later.

@Danibolical 1 i don't speak nerd programmer
The message I get is, we need more minerals. Boron, Iodine, etc along with meat and eggs, particularly organ meat as in liver, not just muscle. We don't need a lot of meat, but we need to compensate the veggies with supplements, particularly minerals, and we need to pressure cook much of the veggies and grains to reduce the level of anti-nutrients. But that is what I have been doing. 1/4 tsp borax in my qt of water along with about 150 mg iodine (not mcg, yes 1000x recommended level) as potassium iodide crystals. We actually eat an excessive amounts of meat in many cases, and mostly the wrong ones. Liver is probably the most nutrient rich food one can eat. Must be grass fed.

That was an awesome talk!
Interesting but I don't understand the title. It is not about the last 30 years of nutritional data at all. Plus, there are societies that admire fat, usually ones where there is a possibility for shortage, thus showing wealth. Would Egyptian teeth be as ground down if not for the sand?
Why would anyone want to ‘break someone from being a vegetarian’ (16:00)?! Even if meat helped our evolution. Personally I think it’s a totally healthy and personal choice. Especially given the way animals are drugged and treated these days.
That's a separate issue, the treatment and practices of raising animals for food. When raised in the most natural way possible it is the most optimal food for us to "thrive", not just survive.
Bc a vegetable based diet is not our optimal diet as he pretty well explained here.... But there are so many reasons to prefer meat over vegetables there is no comparison nutritionally not even close

We may have, in the last few hundred years, moved away from the diet we are evolved over thousands of years to eat, however, the human lifespan has nearly tripled as a result. Why is this not mentioned? And at 25:10 he mentions that human health declined when we switched from hunting and gathering to agriculture. Is it possible that could be attributed more to the decrease in physical activity that resulted from having most of your food sprouting from the ground at your feet rather than having most of your food come from hours and sometimes days walking and running while tracking and chasing down animals?
Mello.B33 indigenous people have far longer life spans before they were colonized by Europeans. All of my great grandparents and their siblings lived to be over 100 simply eating what was available which included pork, turtles, deer, rabbits, eggs, squirrels, possum, fish, beef, chicken with corn, greens and rice etc. They had no Alzheimer's didn't lose their hair and were still muscular into their 70' s. and died in their sleep.
Farming is hard physical work so it’s unlikely any health differences were due to inactivity on the part of farming societies.
Farming lacks sprinting tho , and essential fats and proteins, note there are absolutely zero essential carbohydrates
@@KarlCourage farming is only hard physical work for the farmers. Typically they grow food for many more people than just those working the land.

I have been wondering why Egyptian mummified their dead with guts separated in jars? As all coffins, traditionally, were shaped for “one size fits all“ (assuming those who didn’t have a big big fat tummy) that impose a problem in the process of mummification. The solution ? Empty their guts into jars.
Brilliant. Thank you

With all due respect .. I can’t help but wondering that carnival diet isn’t exclusive to developing human in ancient times and yet we have more developed cranial capacity?
We have more developed cranial capacity? Neanderthals had larger brains than modern humans.
@@generalsub7 I agree, thanks to pointing that out. My message implies that developing ancient humans (and Neanderthals) as well as higher in the food chain beasts are meat eaters, why don't those wild beast developed better cranial ability?
@@philoso377 meat alone isn't the trigger for the development of larger brains. its the addition of meat on top of an already rich nutrition that makes the difference. once they started adding meat to their diet and all the nutritional components were in place did we took that evolutionary leap.
You can speculate a lot of things but when you look at the long list the laundry list of chronic inflammation and illness that people have today and by simply eliminating carbohydrates and eating only meat 99% of these ailments seem to disappear and it is repeated it is over and over so prevalently that these nonsense claims of genetic outliers is complete and utter garbage argument but believe what you will
What I don't understand is why would early man choose to eat the most difficult to obtain and hardest to eat and digest food source. Why on earth would they suddenly decide at some point to farm grains? They wouldn't of course unless they had been enjoying them as a considerable part of their diet prior to the agricultural revolution. I also have a problem with the meat built the brain theory as the brains primary "food source" is glucose and meat cannot provide glucose in any form as far as I'm aware. There's also the case of the blue zones where people have the longest and healthiest lives on the planet and they are all low red meat consumers. I'm open to all ideas, especially when backed by science and have an open mind to all ideas and concepts but I really need to have these questions of mine cleared up.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluconeogenesis breaks fat down to produce glucose. Our digestive tract, the fact that we walk up-right and our brain size are proof that meat built the brain. The blue zones argument is like the Sodium argument (healthy populations around the world consume anywhere from 0.3g to 30g of sodium per day so excess sodium does not cause heart disease); correlation does not imply causation.
As to why farm grains? Because it's easy to preserve and stockpile before refrigeration was invented. If you control land and stock piles of food you control everything.

I am a believer in "whole food - plant strong" as a diet. That said, this talk has peaked my interest - anyone care to point out a rabbit hole or two?
BTW - I'm smoking a rack of ribs right now so don't label me as a crazy vegan / vegetarian
This is my list of favorite “carnivore” talks on RUclips. I’ve been running down this rabbit hole for the past two months, the keto rabbit hole for five months past that.

When did a plant based diet ever really remain plant. You people always eat out of packets and boxes. Kellogg's have a wonderful time making money out of vegans for a kick-off. To quote one Dr. Zoe Harcombe "Man is the only species clever enough to make his own food and stupid enough to eat it."
Not flawed, but corrupt. Not 30 years, but over 100 years - ever since medicine became subject to licencing and regulations.
@Ru22eLL Not if it's by voluntary accreditation; just as long as it isn't imposed by a corrupt gangster-like corporation calling itself the state and that people can choose for themselves where to put their trust, taking responsibility for their lives - not submitting like mindless sheep to the slaughterhouse of state imposed corporate "medicine".
@Ru22eLL Anywhere? It's everywhere where there is even an iota of free association! You're watching some of the market alternatives to state medicine in this presentation; and every professional point of view is represented by multiple associations to advance their cause and educate the public from whom they hope to win clients. Most people are indoctrinated into slavish complacency and wouldn't dream of taking responsibility for their own well being, prefering to be told what to do by men with guns.
Changes in life expectancy are about the effect of higher standard of living where free trade is tolerated, allowing children to be better fed and living in more hygienic conditions - not at all about longer normal lifespans. State controlled gangster medicine has brought about untold suffering and shortened lives.
@Ru22eLL Gangsters don't ask you if you'd like to buy their goods and services, they make you "an offer you can't refuse" backed up by violence. The only difference being that the state pretends it's for your own good; so gangsters are far more honest.
@Ru22eLL There is nothing managed by the state that is managed honestly, efficiently, or well in any way. It's only in the free competitive market where you have honest and efficient rules to follow. Those who hurt others though negligence, dishonesty, or incompetence will be held liable by their victims; but you cannot easily sue the state nor the corrupt corporations which impose their evil on the public through their control of the state's regulators to the detriment of their competition and public victims.
@Ru22eLL So called "modern medicine and food production" is murderous poison to both people and the environment. E.g., much of the advances in "life expectancy" are due to the discovery of antibiotics; yet under the stewardship of state health agencies they have been so misused and abused that they are expected to soon stop working altogether. Thousands are dieing, soon to be millions and eventually billions, due to the incompetence and corruption of the state, unless alternatives are found, some of which will more likely be traditional medicine that's being persecuted by the state.
So you seem to be saying you'd choose a quack for brain surgery to save a few bucks. Personally, I'd choose the most qualified and credentialed brain surgeon I could find; and, no doubt, he'd be a much better and affordable surgeon in a competitive medical marketplace without the corrupt professional protectionist racketeering they call state regulated medicine.
I am aware that those in Egypt liked their grains. And back then their bread was
not processed food as it is today. Moobs are found in men who are overweight,
so certainly that would be a logical cause of their breast moobs. They did also eat animals.
Eating seed oils is not the healthiest choice, as they have lots of calories.
I have never heard before that wheat has phytoestrogens (which are a WEAK variation of estrogens found in humans, as Estradiol). In addition, phyto (plant) estrogens are Beta, and actually LOWER estrogen amounts in men and women and have been proven in multiple studies
to be healthy for women with breast cancer and men with prostate cancer (and to prevent those cancers), while animal products have Alpha/growth stimulating properties. The humans who diss phytoestrogens, as in soy, ignore all of the animal hormones they eat in their daily meals. Humans have no need for any amount of non-human animal hormones. From my research, wheat GERM has some phytoestrogens, but the germ is a small part of the entire wheat kernel.

FYI, for any who read past that comment: I discovered that I sometimes have throbbing headache, little bit above the neck, which might feel worse when you try to lay down to rest. One time it became so bad that I couldn’t sleep even after taken pain relief pills. Eventually I felt a urge to vomit. As soon as I threw up my stomach content, the headache went away. Recently this happened again after I ate some questionable food. Similar sequence of action took place. It’s safe to conclude that I had food poisoning. Otherwise times it was milder and I was able to sleep it out.
Our gut indeed evolved to support more brain activity and health, and it can be compromised when your gut run into problems. My other hypothesis is the poisoning is caused by some questionable plant food.
The Younger Dryas impacts are what killed those mamamals 12800 years ago, not hunters.

This is fascinating information about the PAST, but has no relevance to what we should eat today. First, for most people, the meat we can eat is not as healthy as the meat they could eat AND has lots of toxic chemicals in it. Second, no one in their right is eating as limited a plant- based diet as the farmers in the Kentucky region he was reporting on. So who cares what diseases they had? Third, we have lots of better scientific evidence on what diet is healthiest overall in the LONG-RUN, and it ain't low carb with lots of animal foods. For overall, long-term health, diets that are very low in fat (~7-15% of calories) and that are dominated by WHOLE plant foods (vegan or mostly vegan) have an unmatched track record that indicates they are the healthiest.
OBESITY is related to a wide range of other diseases (diabetes, heart disease, cancers) and health problems (e.g., failing joints, low energy), and is an epidemic in America, with 70% of Americans being overweight or obese. So far, the all-you-can-eat diet that has achieved the best weight loss after one year in a randomized controlled study is a whole food plant-based diet with 7-15% calories from fat. Notice that this is a fraction of the fat intake found in diets that Americans commonly but misleadingly call “low-fat” diets.
www.nature.com/articles/nutd20173
thebroadstudy.com/
Significantly, the original intervention only ran three months, but people who were on the diet during the experiment kept on the diet and kept losing weight from three to six month, and then maintained their weight loss from six to twelve months.
DIABETES is a growing epidemic in America, with over one-third of Americans being pre-diabetic or diabetic. Very low carb, high-fat ketogenic diets have become popular, and these can achieve significant weight loss and improvement in biomarkers and blood glucose control. However, these diets are not really curing the underlying diabetes (carbohydrate intolerance and insulin resistance), they are merely hiding its symptoms by not feeding the body any significant amount of carbohydrates. The human body evolved to efficiently process large quantities of whole food carbohydrates, so the inability to process carbohydrates safely is not normal or healthy. However, WHOLE food plant-based diets with 7-15% calories from fat have been repeatedly demonstrated to bring diabetics’ blood glucose levels under control while having numerous other side benefits for heart health, inflammation, etc. For example, here is a randomized controlled trial in which a WHOLE food plant-based diets with 7-15% calories from fat brought diabetics’ blood glucose levels under control and lowered their LDL levels by 39% in just three weeks and on a diet with 73% calories from carbohydrates. To see an overview of the results, see the 2:47 mark in
nutritionfacts.org/video/benefits-of-a-macrobiotic-diet-for-diabetes/
The direct link to the study is
Soare A, Khazrai YM, Del Toro R, et al. The effect of the macrobiotic Ma-Pi 2 diet vs. the recommended diet in the management of type 2 diabetes: the randomized controlled MADIAB trial. Nutr Metab (Lond). 2014;11:39.
Many people can’t believe a diet that is very high in carbs can cure diabetes for most people but that is because a) they never got their fat intake low enough to cure their insulin resistance, and b) the carbs they are eating are processed carbs that cause a faster rise in blood glucose levels than do WHOLE food carbs-especially when eaten in the context of lots of vegetables and fiber. In reality, all large, slim, and relatively diabetes free populations have historically gotten most of their calories from whole food carbs-rice, wheat, barley, potatoes, farro, millet, sorghum, spelt, corn, etc.
HEART DISEASE is the #1 killer of men and women in the western world, and although we usually only label someone as “having heart disease” after they have an incident, in reality, the vast majority of westerners have diseased coronary arteries and generally had plaque build-up in their arteries by the time they were ten years old. This is not normal or healthy as the impaired functioning or our arteries gives rise to a wide range of other conditions and diseases (angina, heart attacks, strokes, erectile dysfunction, some migraines, dementia, neuropathy, diabetic nerve pain, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, glaucoma, etc.). The only diet that has been shown to be able to stop even serious heart disease in its tracks and achieve some reversal of atherosclerosis in multiple multi-year studies-while dropping rates of major CVD events to zero or close to zero is a WHOLE food plant-based diets with 7-15% calories from fat. For example, see
dresselstyn.com/JFP_06307_Article1.pdf
www.dresselstyn.com/Esselstyn_Three-case-reports_Exp-Clin-Cardiol-July-2014.pdf
Added sugars are NOT healthy, but in the context of the sugar-fat debate, it is worth noting that Dr. Esselstyn was able stop the progression of heart disease, achieve some plaque shrinkage, and avoid future major CVD events even in “death’s doorstep” heart disease patients who were compliant with his original diet-a diet which did NOT limit sugar.

CANCERS: In general, people eating a whole food plant-based diet have lower or much lower rates of various cancers and better cancer survival. Here is an ocean of related research:

OXIDATIVE STRESS and INFLAMMATION are involved in most major chronic diseases. Significantly, the most anti-inflammatory diet you can eat if a whole food plant-based diet, and plant foods have on average, 64 times as much antioxidant punch as does the average animal food.

nutritionfacts.org/video/antioxidant-power-of-plant-foods-versus-animal-foods/
TOXINS: Toxic industrial and agricultural chemicals naturally accumulate in the fat of animals, and these toxins include chemicals that are obesogenic, diabesogenic, atherogenic, mutagenic, carcinogenic, neurotoxins, and endocrine disruptors (which disrupt fertility and reproduction). These toxic chemicals naturally accumulate at high levels in animal fat through the processes of bioaccumulation and biomagnification. Bioaccumulation: A cow eats grass with trace amounts of toxic chemicals in it, and some of those chemicals wind up in their fat, and as they eat more and more grass, the levels of toxic chemicals build up. Biomagnification: A predator (wolf, eagle, tuna, human) that eats other animals that have toxic chemicals built up in their bodies can wind up with extremely high levels of toxins in their bodies. The general rule to avoid toxic chemicals in your food is to eat as low on the food chain as possible, which basically means eating plant foods-but avoiding those that are sprayed heavily (e.g., non-organic strawberries). One side benefit of eating lots of whole plant foods is that they boost your body’s ability to detoxify itself. As a result, people who eat vegetarian and vegan diets typically have much lower levels of toxic chemicals in their bodies than do those who eat meat or meat and dairy. For example, see the following short video summarizing the research on one class of pollutants (links to the studies summarized in the video can be found by clicking “Sources Cited” under the video).
nutritionfacts.org/video/flame-retardant-pollutants-and-child-development/
Then there is a mountain of studies showing the benefits of low-fat whole food plant-based diets for pretty much every health condition under the sun. Wanna' get rates of gallstones and diverticulitis to zero? VLF WFPB diets can do that. Wanna' reduce or eliminate acne and improve osteoarthritis? They can do that to. Wanna' get your risk of dementia as low as possible even though you have the genetic marker that predisposes you to greater dementia risk? They can do that too. Etc. Etc.
Take care.

Funny, when I heard the quote about Cohen all I could think of was climate science.......and all the anti meaters.
While not scientific but certainly observational, IMO, it is safe to say high meat/low carb consumption works well for some people and the opposite works well for others. We are far from a once size fits all group of creatures. We certainly are not all allergic to the same things.
I absolutely love bread. I bake bread and used to eat copious amounts of bread and in the last 5 years seem to be consuming more medications than food {BP, A1C, LDL weight all in the wrong direction}.
Making drastic reductions in bread consumption, and a switch to more Rye based breads {sourdough breads are "SUPPOSED" to be better than white bread but don't like the taste}, made a major difference for me including weight loss. Would the same work for everyone else? Maybe for most but I doubt it for all.
And if a switch to more meat less carbs occurred world wide, would we have the resources to feed the approximately 7.3 billion people on this planet?
Early Humans DID NOT hunt early MegaFauna to extinction. That's one of the Biggest MYTHS promoted by Modern Anthropology. To suggest that early hunters completely wiped out their food source is absolute nonsense. Early humans were in fact intelligent and possessed a very high level technological development. Suggesting otherwise demonstrates a lack of tool knowledge. Stone knives were incredibly sharp and when used to cut flesh did not easily dull. "Cavemen" were much more sophisticated than is generally believed. I am really enjoying Dr. Eades presentation except for the statements suggesting evolving humans cause mega-fauna extinction because of hunting. That's completely without any foundational support. There is however mountains of archeological evidence of a catastrophic event. Perhaps an unusually large Solar Flare that rapidly melted the global glaciation. The Mega Fauna went extinct because of Cataclysmic Events. Perhaps this good doctor is unaware of recent archeological discoveries.
Cataclysmic Event = The Global Flood as told in the book of Genesis?
No it was us.
we've made our own megafauna now...

Yet medieval Europeans (heavily agricultural) had great teeth... up until the 16th century when sugar came in. I can believe that the types of plant used in agriculture are detrimental, but I wouldn't agree that a vegetarian diet per se is bad. In fact quite the opposite, especially if the varietals are right, along with higher CO levels and fertile soils. Lucy and the other so called human ancestors are either extinct varieties of humans, humans suffering from bone pathologies (e.g. rickets) or apes; the point being they (paleontologists) are often unable to clearly distinguish between species given the fragmented remains and very small sample sizes. The phenotypes are highly speculative, and more subject to artistic imagination than actual data (Lucy for example is a very fragmented specimen leaving a lot to speculation). Following conventional anthropology and paleontology is risky as a result of this poor quality data. Worse it is clouded by evolutionary theory. The creationist point of view provides an alternative perspective; that humans were originally vegetarian, eating meat was a later - less than ideal - allowance in a failing world. Ideally you would want to move towards increasing the proportion of your diet that is vegetarian.
See when people try to lean on the scripture and claim it was vegetarian they are missing the whole picture because in the garden yes it was vegetarian however after they left the garden what happened He told them to eat animals for their food or you look at Noah and the ark He told them to eat animals for their food look at Peter in Acts 10 eat animals for food or when Jesus told them to cast their nets on the other side of the boat and they caught a massive amount of fish and when they came to the shore he was cooking a fish on a fire so many instances talking about how they sat at meat etc
So to claim the biblical perspective is vegetarian is really nonsensical

You did not address processed food which makes up a large percentage of modern man/women's diet in developed countries. At least if you cook at home you can control what is in what you eat. Furthermore, after being in the cardiovascular business for 30 years, the total absence of animal protein in a diet is what you want to achieve. Then you can die of other causes besides CV disease.

The only problem i have with this is that the average neanderthal died very young. Besides that only the rich egyptians where mummies(because they could afford that) and only the rich could afford large quantities of meat. So blaming the carbs is still not justified. I am more interested in the people in this world at this moment... Who have very much 100 year olds? Are they hunters or plant eaters or something in between? Besides this if you want a lot of estrogens, eat cheese instead of carbs.

A Canadian military doctor in Afghanistan reported wounded Americans and Canadians would likely have fat no matter where the wound on the body.....whereas Afghans wounded showed no fat. He also pointed out the Pacific islands where "civilization" had not reached found the population not obese from eating breadfruit and seafood whereas the population on the developed islands were obese....similar to the Canadian Indians who once lived in the wilderness were not obese but after living collectively in a town were consuming Pepsi and Cheetos.
The kind of "carbs" that are harmful in their own right almost always come mixed with lots of unhealthy fats. BOTH are bad: processed carbs AND unhealthy fats (oils, transfats and saturated fat) are disastrous for our health. On the other hand, nutrient dense whole food plant based carbs such as vegetables, fruits, beans and moderate amounts of intact whole grains are healthy carbs just as nuts, seeds and avocados are healthy fats.

The helathiest people I know are all vegetarians, my neighbours lived to 97 and 100 (man and woman) and never ate meat in their lives. Besides the ancient Egyptians sure seemed to kick the asses of all the carnivores around them
Greeks and Romans had also a carbohydrate (wheat) diet and if we look in the museums as done with the Egyptians we see the best more attractive anatomies, they represent the perfect human body and they eat almost the same foods
its a bit harder to tell with Greco Roman what the effect of their diet had on them since they were generally cremated ( with some exceptions for those living in Egypt, and the Pompeii victims) , however from my recollections from some study many years ago, their medical texts hinted at similiar issues with obesity and heart disease, certainly amongst the upper classes.
As far as icongraphy is concerned you can take that as representative of the general population as magazine images are today - an idealised misrepresentation of the reality - the Pompeii victims as far as can be reconstructed, were little different to people today , although obesity was less prevalent
Furthermore your impression of what constitutes the perfect human body are largely culturally created.
No, ancient Greeks had a large variety of food sources because grains were far less available. Greek soil is relatively poor. So there would have to rely on other sources as olives, grapes, fish (they were top sailors) syconium fruit and some dairy.
Stanb662000 Not surprising as certainly disease follows obesity and sloth, which was the privilege of the upper classes back in those times. As much as antiquity is a fascinating subject, there are too many unknowns to draw valid conclusions as to what is best for our species in this day and age.

I think this talk kind of misses the mark. Life expectancy for most of human history was under 30 years. If you’re only planning on living to 30 it probably doesn’t matter what you eat. If you look at the diets of people who live in the blue zones there’s hardly any meat. If you look at the diets of centenarians there’s basically none. Do you want to eat like your distant ancestors or do you want to live a long time?
It's argued it wasn't and was skewed by lots of babiea dying young and thaf mature males were living to 70. Same as now.
Long life is wonderful if you are healthy and active and you have the money to pay for it. I see alot of old sick people with dementia. These people require nearly 24/7 care and could live theoretically 20 years being entirely dependent upon others. Suddenly a heart attack doesn't look so bad.
Our ability to cook and digest starchy carbs is what gave our brains the additional glucose it needed to grow. Our body's preferred fuel source is glucose. This is a fundamental fact of biochemistry. Kind of strange then when people keep suggesting we should avoid carbs.
Our body can make the glucose.. so I'm not sure what you think is strange.. If we can make glucose from protein, why do we need to eat it? If what you say is true, I should be dead. Anyone eating carnivore would die bc their brains die from lack of energy.

Makes complete sense...also, tell me how much can the body make versus how much it needs. Especially considering 60 percent of the requirements are for the brain alone. There you will find your answer.
From a biochemical point of view fats and carbs are: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Proteins are: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur.
Maybe the carnivores are right, we should just eat proteins(aka lean meat/organs)...since from protein, any macro-nutrient can be manufactured by the body for the body.
A quote comes to mind from the matrix movie, from the eating scene, the black guy says that the goo they eat contains amino acids(aka protein), vitamins and minerals, everything the body needs... maybe a subliminal msg
"There's no such thing as an essential carbohydrate".
Take a spectrometer, classify food groups according to their "Frequency", align these foods with the "frequency" of the photon energy radiating from the Sun at 2 hour intervals beginning at sunrise and you will see your first clue about " When to eat What". The 24 hour circadian cycle is the master regulator, and peripheral regulator of Metabolic function both Glandular and organ. The moon cycles regulate both menstrual and gestation cycles. It is NOT what you eat but more specifically "when you eat what you eat". We are much more advanced than Paleolithic man. We are updatable, upgradable cybernetic beings capable of re-programming DNA function through conscious intention and re-patterning of brain frequencies thereby modifying cellular environment. The Quanta and fractals hold the information that codes function NOT molecular food particles known as food. This mass of nutrients is not the Code that drives function or life. This limiting view limits self expression and ultimately affects the rate of aging. Time to move beyond food. Q-Life answers all. Peace
Are hunter-gatherers were more healthy because of their lifestyle (constantly moving, running etc) or because they ate meat? I doubt its the latter.
Lots of wrong, confusing advice for cancer patients on the internet but also in books.
As soon as you said "Man wiped out all the big game in a thousand years." your credibility plummeted. There is no way ancient man could have destroyed herds of 10s of millions of mega-fauna individuals and 120 species of those mega-fauna. No hunter society would do that. And it is physically impossible for a few thousand humans to do that. You may have good science on the nutritional side. But you should seriously think about revising your beliefs about the demise of ice age mammals.
he was talking locally
@@elzee4253 Locally, hunter gathers would be aware of populations and it was in their own interest to limit harvest. If deer were decimated by disease they would fish.
@@bryanburnside9783 hunter-gatherers were mainly nomadic tribes
@@elzee4253 That statement is a misleading generality. Modern hunter gathers have "areas". While they may move a settlement periodically, most have been living in a relatively confined area for hundreds if not thousands of years. Making assumptions about the lifestyles of peoples who lived thousands of years ago is a great way to have a premise full of error. You should do a little research on North American Indians. They made cities as "hunter-gatherers".
@@bryanburnside9783 agree with that, I must say. Do not forget that a lot of tribes are moving from one territory to another with seasons
Commercially processed food is the achilles heel of human health. Up until the introduction of convenience food, even Bill Clinton was fairly healthy. Lol.
Why I can’t find inuits among Nobel laureates. More meat - bigger and smarter brain?
Did you really just insult Hunter gatherers for not being highly educated? Do you know where they live?!?!
Also you typed out "Why I can't find". Congratulations, you'll never be a laureate either.
woohoo cape town ! :D
😃
Darwin has many followers who believe in evolution, not me.
Tragic
1. "everyone who wouldn't be healthy on meat and water was bred out", yet all the oldest civilizations (romans, greeks, indians and chinese) were all basically vegan who only had meat rarely.
2. the doctor giving the presentation is out of shape. this isn't really an argument but still.
3. the inuits are not the original form of humans. you think that living in greenland is the natural way of being human? everyone developed in a different way depending on the environment he was living in
4. since when the average diet is one of 3000 kcal? most humans require less than that
5. he automatically links the increase of calories with the consumption of meat. based on what? only he knows. in reality it seems more logical that humans started to eat more calories due to learning how to get more calories from plants (so from primitive forms of agriculture)
6. we are clearly not herbivores nor carnivores. nature is not a librarian which separates into distinct categories but it's a mess of a process that has thousands of variables
7. the part about egypt is really ridiculous. he thinks those statues are statues of the soldiers or of the common people? the fat statues reflect the rich egyptians, who, contrary to the popolus, ate a lot of meat. the same thing happened in the middle age. the rich, kings, dukes etc. all ate meat, and were all obese and would die early due to their poor diet whereas the poor people, eating mostly plants, were slim and lived longer. he shows the mummies with clogged arteries and he thinks that those people were eating carbs? is he stupid or what? he thinks the common egyptians were mummified? it was the rich one who got mummified, so the ones eating a lot of meat. what a way to twist the evidence. i don't know if he's lying or just mistaken. he dismisses this huge thing just by quoting 1 study, ignoring all the rest of the evidence which points to the opposite of what he said or to the fact that nowadays, in modern studies, hearth disease is close to NON EXISTENT in vegans, which again proves him 100 % wrong.
8. the whole "our ancestor" thing is so stupid i am amazed at how many people bring it up all the time. our ancestors prayed to make it rain. should we keep doing it because our ancestors did? all the studies pretty much show that a vegetable diet is superior in terms of health to anything else, so what value does imitating our ancestors exactly bring?
Karen, you need to change the title
"European" = jewish merchant
Timestamp, please.
I watched and listened to this video expecting to learn about what is flawed in the last 30 years of nutritional science. Bullshit. You talked about ancient civilizations diets. What do I do with this information?? I must have missed the point but I don't know where!! I got to the end of this, and I don't have any information about the last thirty years of nutrition. WTF!!
The point is that saturated fat does not cause heart disease as has been claimed to FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS. How did you miss that?
Pre human 😂 come on now.
Quit listening after 5 min. Fuzzy thinker who constantly gets sidetracked. how can one trust this sort of thought process?
No he doesn't.. he's clear and easy to listen to.
frank brown You ought to give it a listen, he’s a pretty entertaining guy! Learned a bit about dietary isotopes, and was with him until he skated out on thin ice and got sloppy on the Egyptian segment of the talk. At that point it was an eye rolling marathon. All in all, though...entertaining!🌱
Huge causal leaps but there sure is money to be made in telling people what they want to be true is not killing them
That goes both ways. It seems to me if we keep eating as the last few years it will only get worse so it is obvious we are not doing something right and what our government and nutritionists are telling us in not true. If we were to believe the Food Manufacturers we will not only get sicker we will live in pain for most of our lives. For those that do not believe go ahead and eat your breads , your cereals and your carbs for the rest of us that know this is bad for us it will get better.
What people want to eat is massive amount of carbs and sugar though...Not what he is advocating.
@@jasonturner6459 Well then I guess people are going to get what they want along with heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, cancer, etc, etc...
Enrique Martinez see right there you’re conflating two completely different. Almost everyone is ignorant to what a carbohydrate is....so ... Some hundreds of millions of years ago, plants developed the ability to take energy from the sun (along with carbon dioxide and water) and make carbohydrates. The process, called photosynthesis, allowed plants to store energy in the form of carbohydrates. This allowed the flourishing of organisms that lacked the ability for photosynthesis, since they were now able to obtain energy by eating carbohydrates in plants. (The entire animal kingdom) 🧠 runs on glucose
We are supposed to use carbohydrates (fruits, vegetables seeds...) for energy. A constant supply is not required but explaining glycogen and other metabolic processes is a different topic completely but 2 evolutionary adaptations for our species along the way include amylase for starch digestion and the ability to use animals for energy in times where our preferred fuel source is not available, including the whole Keto thing during famines
Where you are correct is that we are not supposed to consume our preferred energy source in refined forms.
@@ianchabot3761 I know what you are talking about but I can see your bias when it comes to where we get our energy from; herbivores do the work for us when it comes to transforming carbohydrates into amino acids which is one of the things we get from eating meat and saturated fat from animals; we can't get amino acids from plants as you well know and that is one of the reasons all these vegans have to take supplements. You also failed to mention that our gut is much smaller than all the other apes (our cousins) for the same reason that we don't need to ingest large numbers of plants but a minimum amount plus the meat and fat from animals which make up for the most of our calories.
