Unfortunately I used to eat butter like this, my sexual health is so much better after 3 1/2 years wfpb vegan
same here, my sex drive is higher now in my 30s after being plant based for 5 years than it was in my 20s smashing dairy and meat
Thanks for sharing.😊
@@nathanwallis1112 worse is you do not have someone to put it down. :))
i consume olive oil now and i also cook with it....is that ok ?,
@@larryputra3692 Eating olive oil in small amounts is fine. Cooking with olive oil at high heat is not recommended.
Ever wonder why vegan age faster? Because they are not getting collagen in their diet.
Your whole premise is wrong since vegans, on average, live longer.
Neuroscientist… not a cardiologist or a dietician. Idc what he says, and people who do are engaging in fallacious logic (argument from authority in this case a false authority)
cardiologists dont know much about nutrition either. they will tell you cut back on red meat, get a balanced diet, but right after you take these pills....within the 2nd or 3rd visit at least.
@@philindeblanc they'd be out of job if we ate correctly.
@@philindeblanc Though alot of medical professionals promoting a whole food plant based diet are cardiologist. So they actually seem to be the more progressive kind.
Aww cute, did you just learn about logical fallacies yesterday?
@@philindeblanc I’m aware never said they did. Yes doctors are in the business of selling cures for symptoms not solving the root issue.
My Dad grew up eating butter and kept eating tonnes of butter as a adult. He was teased that he sometimes put a little bread on his butter. The result: at age 65 he had to have an emergency quadruple bypass surgery. His heart disease also gave him a few more mini heart attacks after that.
Fast forward 12 years later after adopting a whole food plant based diet for a year: his physician noted, from looking at his scans, that his cardiovascular disease had completely reversed.
I bet it was carbs and sugar that caused the heart disease
did you dad eat vegetable oils?
are you sure its just that because perhaps there are other variables
he ate butter as a kid? okay. what was his diet in the 20-65 range? and what kind of butter was it? most spreadable "butters" these days have 35% seed oils.
yeah well that's more from carbohydrate then butter... trust me ;)
If your liver is having trouble making enough cholesterol, you are approaching liver failure and will have a way bigger problem than possibly low sex hormones.
what are the odds?
@@goku445 exactly, what are the odds. It is crazy what ppl come up with to justify butter.
@@katzensindweich3505 Yeah, basically it is a disability and butter is the drug.
It must be extremely rare like the low betacaroten > vitamin A conversion rate mutation...
@@katzensindweich3505 lmao vegan cult members run on pure emotions because u lack objectivity and iq. Funny how chance is something u care about now 😂😂 u think u got a high risk of heart disease? Funny how u use that one advantage with veganism based on a few studies. Lmao. Why dont u mention the risk here? Also why dont u mention the increased risk of inflammatory bowl diseases and cancer within the digestion track due to too much different types of anti-nutrients which increase inflammation in the gut and decrease bioavailability for vitamin and Mineral uptake? Haha sit down vegan nancy
@@goku445 low iq vegan is speaking 😂👍
It would be like promoting red wine to a nation of severe alcoholics dying of liver disease.
Yes, they need their resveratrol! It's not like non-alcoholic wines exist, you know...
Great analogy! France alone has about the same number alcoholics as the sum total of four other European countries’ alcoholics. Yet the myth of supposed benefits of wine continue to be repeated.
@@Soul_Younes Or…maybe grape juice?
@@Soul_Younes Or grapes
@@andrewcavanagh3946 I was going to say grapes 🤣
People love to feel good about their bad habits. Just like how everyone I know has to comment how they're doing keto, yet I don't ever see them really do keto. More of an excuse to eat fried foods etc.
lol that’s so true
Fried foods have large amount of carbs in them.
Maybe they feel good because they think it's a good habit. Are you a psychologist?
this applies to vegans. You have another motive - ethical reasons. If someone would be wanting good news about their habits it's vegans LOL. You have more intentions than someone who objectively looks at all diets and their healthfullness and only that entirely, and even if animals are being killed. But that's not something you'd want to hear. So even if the evidence is pretty clear meat is good, you'd still avoid it due to ethical reasons. the few Meat eaters that already gave up all junk food and foods they found tasty, they'd do it with meat as well if the evidence was proper but it's not.
@@MrJavacash if meat were healthy but it is not. So good luck chasing your tail.
Food is a hell of a drug
"Processed food" is a hell of a drug. Check out this documentary on youtube ---> The Connections (2021)
Best!
I thought cocaine was...🫢
I may not be a neuroscientist but one thing I do know is that your brain can't function if you choke the arteries in your heart, and you know... 💀
or the ones in the BRAIN!
Brain? It's spelled P-E-N-I-S
🤣
Hilarious, thank you for putting a smile on my face.
Butter doesn't do that though :)
It does the opposite :)
He said "butter is high in cholesterol so I don't eat a ton of it, but at least for me and for my lipid profile, it's fine." That's a perfectly reasonable statement to make. Every person should know their lipid profile and understand their bodies. Some people absorb high amounts of butter from diet. Some don't. Some produce a lot of cholesterol. Some don't; all based on their genetic make up. There are some folks are vegan and have high cholesterol while others are carnevors and have perfectly normal lipid profiles.
Agree 100% u nail it.
Neil Degrasse Tyson: knowledgeable on astrophysics, clueless on nutrition and veganism
Huberman: probably knowledgeable on neuroscience, definitely clueless on nutrition
Lots of that pattern going on out there.....
yup, it’s probably better idea to listen to carpenters when it comes to nutrition and veganism.
Or how about maybe just nutritionists or the many studies that show the results of diet.
Cardiologist seem to be disproportionately vegan.
Food is somehow weird, perfectly smart people come up with the weirdest shit to rationalize their food choices.
I see a pattern
Good lord. His incredible ignorance around cholesterol would put me off of anything neuroscience info in his podcast, even if he's "right."
Wow…. This video made me question about validity of all his info about his knowledge of neuroscience. Soooo, butter is back again, huh?.. Not for me though. 👍😀
Yea I'd pass on him if I ever listened to him before this
he's very right and good, vegans are entirely brainwashed and just wanna adhere to their religious and freaky agenda
@@MrJavacash Citation needed for that. He is literally going against every nutrition institution on the planet. You sound like another dippy antiscience. Religious? That means it's a religion to not harm cats and dogs, it's a religion to not harm black people if you're another race etc. Veganism is a philosophy that extends from human rights.
@@80slimshadys hahaha "citation needed" I've heard this all the time from vegans.....it's crazy.
It sounds like he needs to talk to Team Sherzai! Maybe he would listen to Neurologists.
Love them
According to a pediatric neurologist my friend knows, all of the epileptic children who are treated with a keto diet experience many health issues, as a result of the diet, as they get older.
@@goldieh7121 yea that is the case. It's only necessary for epilepsy since they couldn't live at all without drugs and a severe diet regime. So dumb for healthy people to do it
Very good point! He definitely should.
The Sherzais need to educate themselves about the harms of eating oil instead of whining about how more informed plant-based docs won't endorse their latest book because they recommend eating oil in it.
I love how these people demonize oils then proceed to eat butter/lard/cheese
Sad part is when I started doing whole food plant based and quit oil, people started defending oil too! SMH
Saturated animal fats and polyunsaturated plant oils have nothing in common. You are ignorant.
Thick as shit I see lol
Oh but butter is "natural."
@@pmiller4110 both give you atherosclerosis
5:20 That heavy metal skit was HILLARIOUS! More skits! More skits! Love em!
Agreed!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I couldn't not hit the "like" button, after that little diddy.
Who do you trust to integrate all the relevant sources/papers correctly and unbiasedly: a Stanford professor in Neuroscience or Mike the Vegan (Masters in Public Health from Iowa)?
As Carl Sagan liked to point out, the great thing about science is that authority is irrelevant. All that matters is data, which Mike has on his side.
@@SSSyndrome214 You completely misrepresent Carl Sagan's words. He said there are no authorities in science, only experts (or something to this regard). Andrew Huberman cites the highest quality unbiased research in his podcasts compared to Mike's mostly observational studies (or just anecdotes like Esselstyne's quote unquote "clinical" studies) . If I am too lazy to check for myself I will trust Huberman words over those of Mike's 100% of the time.
@@andreinikiforov2671 Sagan also said that no expert is above being proven wrong by someone with solid data, even if that someone has much lower credentials than the expert. You were appealing exclusively to authority in your original comment, and seem to still be doing so to a degree. If you want to rely on credentialism for health advice, then that’s your prerogative, but Huberman is not an expert in nutrition…not even close. If you want to hear from actual experts like dietitians and physicians who’ve dedicated their careers to conducting original research in this area, then there is no shortage of them for you to listen to, nor is there any shortage of randomized interventional trials where people who cut cholesterol and animal products out of their diet and lowered their intake of saturated fat had better biomarkers and health outcomes than groups who didn’t. Why don’t you poke around on PubMed.gov or NutritionFacts.org? If you’re not feeling too “lazy”, that is.
@@SSSyndrome214 I do appreciate your responses and the time you spent on your responses. I understand what you are saying. If an undergrad presents a good argument he would trump a Stanford prof with a bad argument (which has probably happened more times than anyone could count) -rank be damned.
Maybe you can even help me out. I am doing some research on animal based studies and I would greatly appreciate if you could point me to "randomized interventional trials where people who cut cholesterol and animal products out of their diet and lowered their intake of saturated fat had better biomarkers and health outcomes than groups who didn’t." As many as you know of. I only found one (the PURE study) but maybe you could point me to more than that. I am interested in longer -term (more than 3 months) randomized studies in humans with proper control group. Thanks in advance!
Keep it up. The misinformation is rampant these days.
at least he is getting paid for it. Look at J Rogan, he is or was getting money from meat industry as well, and spins it off as organic content.
The fight for information is the war of this century.
We must not loose.
@@goku445 hey man when I was at farm sanctuary the owner of that place was a really awesome vegan said one of our biggest problems is chaff so much information out there that people get blind and pay attention to no real information
@@goku445 I use Odysee for real content this platform is sooo heavily and strategically censored and manipulated.
I think the most crucial information can be found in my documentary, it's on my youtube channel: The Connections (2021)
4:30 where again is the study showing that cholesterol is causally linked with heart disease? Could you please add links to the description?
It's not true .......cholesterol is a good fat it doesn't cause heart attack... Is the bad carb and food out there and all the bad seed oils .. all the fried food fast food garbage. U could be healthy and still get a hear attack no matter what diet we choose vegan or vegetarian or carnivores regular diet........
5:15 heavy metal cholesterol is a banger
Death metal to be precise
When Seitan rules the world! 🤘😈💀🌱😂👍
I've listened to him a month or two ago and noticed him saying more doubtful things. (Nothing to do with animal products.) He seems to believe even small studies pretty easily. I unsubbed after that. I'm not interested in a podcast from some expert who talks about science and than misrepresent it and makes claims that are bigger than the studies tells us.
Can you name an example please? Been listening and then heard the butter things lol
@@iheartjbgccb Oef it's been a bit over two months. I can't remember what it was anymore. It wasn't about food, but I can't remember what it was. If I remember later, I'll post it here.
@@elisenieuwe4649 it's pretty interesting that you can't even type on the internet without spelling and punctuation errors yet you want to try to convey to people on this comment section that you can interpret studies better than that man. it's remarkable. furthermore, you make claims and when asked about them you can't provide the citations. you vegans are out of your minds. go outside.
@@keredification they said it wasn't animal/food related, but you still had to jump on vegans. Go touch some grass 🤣
@@korneliasporklet2644 "even more" means the current topic (animal food related) and more. big brain lol i feel like i'm talking with children.
Yay. I actually really like Huberman's podcasts but his views on nutrition just make me cringe. So happy you decided to call him out on his bs.
People who eat butter often think plants feel pain.
I think it is having an effect but not a good one 🤣
I stopped listening. If he's wrong about pretty obvious stuff like this what else is he wrong about? Anyhow, I always come away thinking I didn't really learn anything new.
All these podcasts and ramblings of successful people are just a manifestation of their narcissism and smugness. Look at Neil deGrasse Tyson and his appalling cognitive dissonance (also featured in one of Mic's videos). It's ridiculous how these people believe their own hype of being experts on everything all of a sudden.
I think that might be overgeneralizing...He's wrong about butter consumption, so don't listen to him on neuroscience ever again?
@@JakeRichardsong yep. Too unrelieable. A scientist needs to know when to shut up in public, what a fact is and needs to be rational above all. That is an absolute deal breaker. I dont care what he tells his uncle over breakfast but on his podcast he better have his facts straight or shut up.
@@katzensindweich3505 Thank you, Katzen! Exactly!
When listening to huberman, I never get the impression that he is unwilling to be wrong. I also never feel like he is trying to convince me of anything. The condescending manner that you seem to be addressing these ideas with certainly gives me that feeling. It reminds me of someone who is indoctrinated into a specific ideology, that whenever challenged, has to defend it in a nit picky way.
Yeah someone has a controversial opinion. Let’s assume that most adults are intelligent enough to decide for themselves that “hey maybe what works for him won’t work for me,” and allow people to challenge a narrative. A narrative that deserves to be challenged, clearly.
I mean...Huberman claimed that you need to eat cholesterol to have cholesterol. If he's willing to be wrong, how does such an intelligent man have such an ignorant opinion? I learned very early that people who *seem* like they're willing to change their mind are some of the most difficult people to get new information to. See...they believe that they are open to the evidence. And that belief makes them almost impossible to convince that they're wrong. A good example is Layne Norton. How many years did it take for him to get to the point where he understood that elevated LDL really is bad, which is where most people with his background understood in undergrad.
@@AnmolMishra946ngrats to you and your family. Vegan is the biggest dogma and gospel ever. Check out Weston A. Price and Fat-Soluble vitamins and how they feel in your mouth. Mic is quick to discredit it but there is a reason our ancestors consumed them beyond taste. A little butter, eggs, liver goes a long way for humans to thrive. Vegans love quoting Seventh Day Adventists, but the longest living ones were the fish eating ones. Anyway, most important is to listen to your body, no matter what anybody says, vegan or not. Best regards 🙏
I'd never take any dietary advice from a Vegan
@@cesar3989 why? Theoretically they’d have a higher standard of ethics.
He is right. If you are doing good on your diet keep doing it.
I am 71, work 50 to 80 hours a week on carnivore diet.
No medications. Eat lots of butter. All grass fed meats. LOTS of free range eggs. Up to 12 a day.
Just had checkup. Doc says have health of a 35 to 40 year old
workout everyday with weights.
Probably just genetics right? Lol
lifestyle is the major factor to all diseases.
LOL
Thank you for letting us know that meat and butter are good. This channel keeps talking about carnivore and butter and makes me wonder, is there truth in eating animal based…
@@marcelfrantel9517 I think moderation is really the key. I will say that when I tried to go vegetarian, I was hungry all the time and had to eat every couple hours. When I include meat and fat, I'm satisfied longer
He takes steroids and nicotine and growth hormone and other drugs Probably just genetics right? Lol. Let us know when you have a heart attack
Team Sherzai I'm sure would be blown away by how wrong the idea of butter being good for your brain is....
Yes, but the Sherzai family have actual studies on the subject, Andrew bases his advice on emotions.
And yet they think oil is good for the brain. No one is perfect.
@@SSSyndrome214 They don't actually. They have it in there to increase the likelihood that people will stay on the diet. Unfortunately they don't state that the ingredients are optional in the ingredients lists, instead you have to read the instructions to see that message :)
@@AnHourOfWolves They've stated emphatically in multiple interviews their belief that there's no evidence to suggest extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is detrimental to health in "small doses", and include it in their "brain healthy" recipes. They acknowledge that every study purporting to show benefits of eating EVOO could simply be showing substitutionary benefits, i.e. EVOO only looks good when compared to animal products and worse oils, but could be worse for health than eating no oil at all. They believe that no sufficiently large studies have been done comparing a WFPB diet to an identical diet containing small amounts of oil as the only variable, and that until such a study is done, it is baseless and irresponsible to recommend an oil-free diet.
@@AnHourOfWolves Their beliefs run counter to the clinical experience and logical assumptions of many other plant-based doctors, which is why said doctors refused to endorse the Sherzais' latest book. Instead of humbly accepting this, the Sherzais chose to cry and squeal about it in podcasts and interviews, playing victim and trying to frame said other plant-based doctors as illogical, zealous, and even harmful. Their assertions about oil are bad enough, but it's the Sherzais' poor attitudes that I find particularly disgusting, which is mostly why I've stopped following them, that and some other even more egregious claims they've made.
Butter,organic and grass fed provides all the fat soluble vitamins. Carbs are the problem!
I'm 64 eat mostly carnivore for over two years now. I'm healthier, stronger, have more energy, more muscle and thinner since going carnivore. I had a heart attack several years ago and wasn't getting much better until I went carnivore. Before carnivore I ate baskets of veggies and some fruit and I felt bad and had inflammation. Since going carnivore my acid reflux went away my gout is almost gone and my snoring stopped. One person's experience.
Well done , you can't tell these people on here though
@@debbietaylor20 true but just thought I'd tell, who knows it might help someone else. I don't know what's right for others but carnivore is working for me.
What’s the big deal about eating butter ?
People put it on bread all the time.
So he’s just eating it without the bread
The most "famous" neuroscientist of our time, Daniel Amen, who is seen on PBS frequently, lists blood flow in the brain as maybe the #1 item to restore an unhealthy brain to normal function. Unfortunately, he is more of a Hyman acolite while he should be advocating Esselstyn's program to those with fouled blood brain supply. True enlightenment and joyous living rests on the foundation of a healthy mind in a healthy body. If Andy missed this key aspect of our ape bodies then his entire thesis is a house built on shifting sands. Anybody watching Mike on this channel knows what happens to arterial brain flow as soon as you eat animal products and butter and oil, and over time the damage increases til that day when you have a stroke or Alzheimer's or DIE from heart disease. We must understand our true human nature, and butter is best left to baby cows. Well done, Mike!
Cholesterol was declared no longer a nutrient of concern. So why do you say heart disease? The body makes cholesterol and regulates it, so you can't link fats and cholesterol to heart disease because there isn't strong evidence to support this. Do you have a single large scale clinical trial showing an increase in saturated fats leads to an increase and early cardiovascular mortality? Of course you don't.
@@newpersonal3762 I take it you are a young person. Good luck.
@@eugeniebreida1583 Thank you but I don't believe in luck and look at what the recommendations have done to people. If you go outside the guidelines and cook kids real food as school lunches, they'll probably threaten to pull funding if you don't cease immediately. Sugar for kids and ketchup a vegetable, they say. Demonization of fat and blaming fat for your problems is a big part of it, one of many. Look at the rise in heart disease over the decades. The countries following us are now having the same kinds of problems. It's time to take back health.
@@newpersonal3762 go watch mics video on cholesterol or heart disease, he has a ton of studies in the description for you to find out that you're wrong
@@GbergStacks In this video, his evidence was showing a chart with correlation and I'll remind you that correlation is not causation. My first comment already refuted this and it's your choice if you keep following things that are making the world sicker and fatter by the year. I could show plenty of charts also showing the ramp up of diseases if I wanted.
video requests/ideas: 1) how do i know if the tap water i drink every day is good for me? does drinking more water increase the amount of toxins in my body if there is a little bit of toxins in my tap water? 2) practical video about how i get my blood tested and what to look for in a blood test. 3) video about being sedentary and the health risks of that, how active do you need to be each day to maximize life span.
just to clarify - dietary cholesterol and saturated fat in the diet are two different things. one of these dietary sources causes increased ldl production in the liver, and one does not.
Why blame it just on cholesterol when damage to the arteries is caused by heavy metals and toxins which causes the cholesterol to saturate the area to repair the arteries? What do you think, Mic?
Plus excessive sugar, AGEs, seed/veg oils, industrialised trans fats, oxidative damage. Cholesterol is the fireman being present when there is a fire.
I am even more convinced to eat more butter. Thank you!
On what data?
@Justin Bieber Is that a stick of butter like the lunatic on steak & butter videos? doubt you are JB

Loved this dude’s LOVE for his BUTTER! 🧈 ❤🧈
Send him your video, i bet he wouldlike to know it.
Totally agree - he’s so good on neuroscience but I can’t believe the things he says on diet
It is not a big deal being a nerd on one topic and being lucky enough to be able to have access to the best education on that topic. If this is his opinion on nutrition and he presents it with such confidence, I would doubt anything he comes up with regarding neuroscience. It just shows that either he tends to fool himself, or he can be bought by corporations to spread propaganda.

Except for the fact that people with low cholesterol die from heart attacks just as often as those with high cholesterol. There have been multiple papers and studies that have shown this. Also high fat raw butter is one of the best sources of vitamin K which cannot be obtained by any plant foods because the version in plant foods is unable to be absorbed. If you eat butter with cod liver oil before eating a meal it helps with nutrient absorption. Doctor Weston price proved this in the 1940s. Butter is not bad for you, cholesterol is not the enemy. It’s sugar, seed oils, excessive carbs, and laziness that have plagued modern day society with obesity and health issues. Not butter, the vitamin content I’m raw grass fed butter is better than any multivitamin you can buy and if you couple it with eggs and liver your body will thank you.
A neuroscientist who can't kick his butter addiction and goes out of his way trying to fool himself with his nonsensical BS.. @.@
Fun fact, some studies suggest COVID outcomes in older patients is correlated to cholesterol levels, particularly those who have a hard time with breathing have shown to have higher cholesterol levels in their lung tissue. Just saying...
Quality of cholesterol is what’s important. Not the amount. Better to have lots of healthy cholesterol than a little unhealthy cholesterol. Cholesterol is what keeps you healthy like vitamin D production. Those unhealthy with covid have probably eaten processed food, sugar and vegetable oils and lots of them. On top of that add unnecessary carbs with fats and that is a cocktail for obvious poor outcomes.
@@lo5tcau5e35 there are no different cholesterol molecules, just one typ. There are steroid derivates, which (vitamin D is part of) but our body produce itself.
@@lauraschalala588 this is what the quoted person means. Total Cholesterol has components like HDL and LDL, then you have the rest which is interchangably described as -- VLDL, sLDL, LDL pattern B. This is damaged and IS smaller than larger LDL.
Damaged LDL is the problem, not complete LDL.
@@lauraschalala588 What!!!!!?.
There is a big difference between density of cholesterol molecules related to health and disease.
HDL ( high density lipoprotein) is protective.
The fact that 52 people upvoted this comment shows just how stupid the viewers of this channel are. Cholesterol levels are correlated with unhealthy lifestyles (smoking, alcohol, lack of exercise, obesity etc.). It's not surprising that people that are more unhealthy on average struggle with covid, but that does not necessarily mean that cholesterol is the problem lol.
This guy is a genius, not on diet though..
My thoughts exactly.

I had read that what really causes heart decease is your hydrogenated fats and oils like vegetable oil and sunflower oil , it made a convincing argument for butter, but as I am vegan it made a convincing argument for coconut oil ,sadly chia and flax doesn't taste as good!
I believe u read the correct information
It is amazing, that people in the comments are trying to say that a scientist in Stanford, that sits in laboratories, who has access to all the scientific minds across the world, has no idea what he is talking about.
Thanks for the video Mic. I like Andrew Huberman and I agree that he is excellent when talking about his area of expertise.
I have seen videos by people who appear to have exhausted their knowledge on their chosen subject and are then tempted to give advice on other issues just to have something to talk about ( and keep the channel going and the revenue coming in... cynical, moi?).
Maybe the answer is to stick to what you know and if you do want to add new topics, do your research first.
God I freaking love you. That metal snippet just made my entire week.
Hey Mic. I’m an natural omnivore borderline carnivore and if ever I need a perspective challenge I come to your channel. Thank you for your differing view to mine and those I’m mostly guided by. Keep up the good fight. Cheers

there is alot of omega 3 plant sources . google it

Omg, am I cholesterol deficient? 😆
Incorporating a fasting focused lifestyle will improve all health markers nearly across the board regardless of diet. This includes heart disease.

He's eating butter BECAUSE of the cholesterol? Who put that idea in his head?
Chris Kresser
@@morganthem or maybe Shawn Baker or Chiropractor Eric Berg
he is eating it because of his hormones, while butter is the highest source of mammalian estrogen on the planet :) its ironic as fuck.
Probably Joe Rogan.
Addiction.
When Huberman says you should not take his advice on diet and he wants to remain neutral, he means it. So if people ignore that and eat chunks of butter, they didn't listen.
Yeah I was following him a bit, he talked in a neutral way of meat eating and veganism, and then all of a sudden he makes 25 minutes advertisements for some local grass fed meat sh*t ...
“I had to respond”
You sure did Mic, the world’s been waiting for this!
Selenium is the key to Hormonal health, not Cholesterol. #ABrazilNutADayIsTheHormonalWay
brazil nuts are radioactive, in case you didn't know; in addition, in big doses, selenium is exceedingly toxic.
Definitely dumb advice. Selinium is down right dangerous in any quantity.
@@v.a.n.e. While I don't know the 'Banana Equivalent Dose' of radioactivity in Brazil Nuts, one 2 gram Nut offers 70% RDA of Selenium so I stand by my recommendation.
@@smilebot484 Except it's an essential mineral. And it's "Selenium"...
@@smilebot484 You serious bro?
Huberman has apparently read the latest research that debunks the old cholesterol myths. One of my favorite sources for good explanations of this new research of the Lifespa blog from Dr. John Douillard, who also has a RUclips channel. He has numerous blog articles (all well references in extensive footnotes) that explain the new research results: total cholesterol has little correlation to heart disease; what is more important is whether your HDL or LDL are damaged from oxidation. Triglycerides seem to be a much better indicator of that oxidation damage. Sugar, insulin, and advanced glycation end-products seem to be the leading contributors to oxidation of cholesterol, leading to small hard LDL particles. There are new blood tests that can measure that as well.
Yes exactly. Spot on
I there Mic , do you think you can do what I eat these days or what I eat in a day ? 😊
Love your content .
I listen to his podcast and overall it is a fantastic resource - incredibly insightful, interesting and approachable even thought the contents are not always easy. I must say that sometimes he throws in some biased tips/findings which I am not a fan of recently he said (based on a good study) that "high fiber diets can actually do more bad than good" even though it was not exactly the finding of the research. I mean, I appreciate his work a lots but as anyone, sometimes he makes mistakes, explains certain aspects badly or simply chooses not-the-best practises himself. Having said that, he is only human as anyone else and it is his choice so I am not cancelling him just because of that. He is still a great neuroscientist and professes his knowledge in way that makes me (and many more people) want to learn and optimize my life - and I think this is important!
And which all makes his butter and stick promotions all the more lethal for so many.
i upvoted the video in the early beginning but then came the metal part and i was like one like button isnt enough god dayum
I was 669... 40 years old, vegetarian for 20 years with vegan last 5.
Nice
@@aidenbusselman9442 Yeah, and I'm the definition of a soy boy. Consume more soy products than anyone else I know. That's why I checked.
Can anyone show me a study in which the calculated LDL-c had higher value in predicting CVD or atherosclerosis, then TG/HDL or ApoB/A1 ratios? I believe those two ratios are considered atherogenic profiles.
24yo, vegan for 5 years.
My LDL is down to 54mg/dl.
I'm so happy I got my diet in check early enough in my life.
That's so dangerous your brain needs cholesterol .
@@debbietaylor20
That's why my cells produce it. And they produce all they need. Our body is capable of cholesterol production itself, you don't need to add on top of that.
We have studied people with far, far lower LDL who didn't have any adverse health effects.
Also, LDL isn't cholesterol.
@@Pyriphlegeton what do you eat? Any staple foods in your diet? Please let me know; I’m trying to get my LDL down.
My LDL and HDL are within median range… I eat mostly meat and fruit with veggies.
@@von2320 what's "within median range" in mg/dL?
My husband used to eat butter on its own. Loved it. Also ate lots of eggs and tons of bacon. By the time he was 47, he'd had 2 heart attacks and was the proud owner of 9 stents. On a half-assed wfpb diet, he hasn't been to the hospital in over 3 years. I advised him to do a keto-style diet after his first 2 stents, because everyone claimed it was the best and healthiest diet. Within 4 months, he was back in the hospital having another stent. And then another the next year, and so forth.
I'm 64 eat mostly carnivore for over two years now. I'm healthier, stronger, have more energy, more muscle and thinner since going carnivore. I had a heart attack several years ago and wasn't getting much better until I went carnivore. Before carnivore I ate baskets of veggies and some fruit and I felt bad and had inflammation. Since going carnivore my acid reflux went away my gout is almost gone and my snoring stopped. One person's experience.
@@davidplyler8173 Happy for you. Truly. And I hope this continues for you. But remember this: you are not a carnivore, therefore this way of eating is harming your body and organs. Fruits and vegetables are not known for causing inflammation, even the speculation about nightshade vegetables are unsupported. I have arthritis from the hips downward and was taking Meloxicam daily, as well as Prednisone for a time period. I started eating wfpb along with my husband in a show of support and noticed a few weeks later that the pain was completely gone. I haven't taken medication for arthritis in 5 years. I don't attribute this to some "miracle", merely the resolution of long time inflammation. Any deviation from the SAD will be an improvement, even a carnivorous diet, for a time anyways. However, it's not the carnivore diet that is attributed to the longest living populations in Blue Zones, it's a primarily plant based diet.
@@victoriarose4506 Appreciate the response! Just from reading my post you have no idea what so ever if me eating beef is harming my body and organs. "For me" eating this way was like discovering the fountain of youth. Again my personal experience. There are quite a few vegetables that give me an allergic reaction and bananas and many grain products including oatmeal. Eggs, dairy (except butter) peanut butter, celery, most cereal, most beer (except Corona) 😟, bacon 😟, most nuts, all give me allergies. I can eat potatoes and sweet potatoes and white rice with no problems. And unfortunately sugar doesn't give me problems lol. The poison is in the dose, I can eat small portions of these occasionally and it doesn't bother me. With social media and RUclips you can find many carnivore and vegan and every diet in between with people doing great on and with people feeling bad on the same diets. Do what works for the individual is what I think. This ain't a religion, I've tried most everything and this is what works best for me. Keep doing well on your health Victoria !!
@@underground5220 yeah, no.
Sounds like your husband's problem is leading a sedentary lifestyle and never exercising.
"I am not a scientist but being a vegan makes me smarter than one of the world's top neuroscientists who is also really into health and fitness because of their effects on the brain." 😆 🤣 😂
lol
Hooray for butter allowing me to have high levels of testosterone!! But DAMN, am I frustrated because it also gave me erectile dysfunction. ??? How funny
Americans actually eat less butter than our grandparents....
I just don't get this logic; nobody does this with other things that the body makes. I don't see people insisting on eating hydrochloric acid, bile, etc; or even more weird fingernails [to make their nails stronger] hair [to make their hair thicker] etc. You get the idea...It just doesn't make sense.
Yes, it's like those gym goombas who think the muscle tissue you eat magically turns into muscle tissue on your body.
There is the belief that eating gelatin will improve your joints and ligaments
Ok, so you don’t know too much.
Well, people eat a lot of carbs (starch e.g. turns to glucose in our mouth) or glucose/sugar itself, even if the body makes every bit of glucose it needs even without any carbs. You don’t have to eat carbs to fuel your body, but people do it nonetheless
@@eugeniebreida1583 Who are you replying to?
Calls out Health Line for having a low carb bias. Shows info from Harvard who have a clear plant based anti meat bias. Vegans. I eat a ridiculous amount of cholesterol and Sat fat. My LDL barely budged, HDL improved, triglycerides came down significantly. Plenty of people have self experimented and documented the exact same thing.
I cut out butter for one year. After I started consuming it again, I know straightaway mental clarity, morning glories, feeling good and more.
Seth Roberts - Berkeley professor, blogger, and author of "The Shangri-La Diet," ate a half stick of butter everyday because he believed it improved his brain function. He died from a heart attack while on a hike in 2014. His final post was entitled "Butter Makes Me Smarter." He was 60 years old.
Seth was also eating sugar and carbohydrates along with his butter. I agree, that it is a bad combination. However, if you eat only meat and butter you will be fine.
Butter is awesome 🤩 really helps me with sleep and lowering my cortisol levels 😊
It’s something I’d never figure out on my own tbh 🥲
Thanks Dr H 🙌
Well, the new conventional wisdom is plants and fiber are evil.
if there's one thing America needs it's to eat MORE butter...... yeah.... okay, sounds about right
show me man that eats butter to keep his winkie up and i'll show you a man that's got some serious winkie problems ..
5:42 The vegetarian holding an ice cream cone. Actual LOL. [I'm vegetarian].
Absolutely revolting. I've hated all dairy, especially cheese and butter, my whole life. If it was proven beyond any doubt that eating multiple sticks of butter everyday made you live for 1,000 years and kept you looking young, I still wouldn't eat it.
Same. The smell alone. Disgusting.
I know righttt, it's so disgusting!
Cholesterol is not causally linked with CVD, oxidative stress is a much stronger predictor
I’m from Barbagia in Sardegna (a blue zone), here they eat meat (especially pork), a ton of cheese, some butter, & other animals like chicken. But, we also eat veggies, legumes, whole grains, nuts, olive oil etc. The most important thing is to focus on unprocessed foods (wether it’s from animals or plants) & an active, stress-free, & social lifestyle. Everything else is debatable. Therefore, IMO Huberman eating pats of butter is definitely fine (possibly beneficial) as long as he doesn’t gain fat from it or cause any other problems to him. 😄
My favourite podcast is 'No Such Thing As A Fish' by the QI elves. Hilarious, weird and educational. Give it a go, I think you'll like it, Mic, if you've not already tried it. :)
Man you are reading my mind. I liked his early podcasts about the topics that he actually does research on but his nutrition claims are so far off and he never provides any sources for his claims
After reading books like Metabolical and The Big Fat Surprise, Huberman's butter comment isn't all that crazy or "stupid". The concept of Cholesterol isn't as simple as "its good" or "its bad". The latter book that I mentioned, dissects all the big studies throughout the 20th century that demonize saturated fat and cholesterol, and how a lot of said studies were poorly done and represented. They're great and informative books to read(they're not anti vegan)if anyone here is curious.
This is a vegan channel bro😂, can't argue with one.
I bet those books calling Fat as good didn't mention that Fat in your body converts Testosterone to Estrogen. Good luck with that.😂
@@smeshnoymatvey2054 fat is also used to create testosterone, which fats are you talking about ? I doubt you know what your saying if you have any sense at all !😂
@@chrisevilstewie The fat you consume from outside because our body can make all the Cholesterol needed to make T. You understand difference.
Edit : Are you confused between Cholesterol and Fat? They are not same as you imply. I can make you understand the difference if you like.
@@smeshnoymatvey2054 you mean lipids? Do you know that external fats are essential to us and if you really want me to explain that I'll feel kinda sad😂
As an omnivore, it fascinates me how vegans, vegetarians, keto people and carnivores feel the need to poke holes in other people's diets in order to validate theirs. Like...if you are convinced that what you are eating is good for you, stop looking over the fence to see how your neighbours are doing! Any diet(in the above 4) that is not the Standard Western Diet is a huge stepup. But the above 4 feel the constant need to be validated that they waste so much time trying to recruit.
Anyway Peanut butter tastes much better than animal secretion .
Can you do a video about female hormones and fats? My hormones went out of whack after going vegan, I ate mostly no fat high carb, as was the trend. Cooking without oil, etc.
I measure my basal body temp every morning to track when I ovulate. I used to have perfect measurement, after going vegan they where very irregular and messy.
My period changed to very long cycles and I developed melasma and hormonal acne.
After some searching I found multiple women with their stories after going vegan. Some lost their periods, trouble getting pregnant, etc.
When they increased their fats, it mostly went back to normal!
I now eat lots of nuts (two handfuls a day), seeds (2tbsp of ground seeds), avocados (2 a week) and some virgin olive oil/grapeseed oil (a tbsp here and there in some meals, not much). And my period is almost back to normal three months later, my basal body temperature is neat again. And my acne almost dissapeared! (Still praying the melasma will also dissapear).
I feel like there needs to be better information about this for female health. It would be awesome if you made a video!
Maybe vegan is not the right diet for you? Maybe Andrew Huberman was right about butter 🤷🏻♀️(munching on a stick of butter as I type this.
@@bettywhill nope since changing from "low fat vegan" to a more balanced vegan diet with some oils and plenty of nuts and seeds my hormones are perfect again. Women need healthy fats thats all.
@@bettywhill he is wrong. Make sure you are writing your will as you are munching on that stick of butter.
Women who transitioned to the vegan diet takes 2 -6 months of wonkiness in hormonal balancing before things become better and stabilised.
Watch your shampoo/conditioner and skin care for animal/synthetic hormones in the ingredients that manufacturers put in for omnivorous women to balance their hormones.
Its really easy to tell your a vegan
It’s really easy to tell you’re not prioritizing proof reading.
I knew in the first 10 seconds with that whiny low T voice 😂
How? I've seen dudes that sound and look exactly like this dude who eat paleo or some other fad diet. You're just trying to be rude for no reason IMO
The awkward mid-sentence chuckle over nothing is also a sign. I’m pro-plant based, but it’s definitely a delivery style that I’ve noticed is common in vegans

This video suggestion appeared as I was listening to his interview on the Rich Roll podcast. I stopped to watch this and now I can't go back to his interview ;)
ACTUALLY there is a term menopause brain referring to lack of clear thinking
I think what this all comes down to is what is appropriate for you and your body. There are ancestral appropriate foods to consider as well and this is very individual. I think general diets are good as a starting point but you should always tailor a diet to your bodies own needs. There are downsides to every diet out there you just have to pick the one that is most harmonious to your body.
Huberman should change his name to ‘Hubris’.
Lol Mike still looks Grey and fragile.
THANK YOU! Love his stuff too, but we are all people with biases who are fallible (else I’d have been vegan much longer than 4 years), but some of what he says about veganism, nutrition, TRT…anyway, I hope he sheds his gym bro brain block a bit to actually choose to escape the meathead echo chamber and see what’s incorrect with his views. LOVE his podcast and follow him closely, but some stuff has me shaking my head. 😂🤷🏻♀️🌱🤘🏻
Bro science, more sex hormones good.
