Can you address this issue: I recent,y saw an endocrinologist who told me that “the latest research” says that when you stop eating ketogenic diet there is an increase in atherosclerosis. I would love to hear you address this.
Hi Dr Ekberg. My child 12 year old is obese . And has more belly fat with relatively smarter arms n legs . He has a strong family history of increased cholesterol and heart diseases from paternal side . I am highly concerned about his health . Can u guide about children's diet management? With a special concern about low carb diet in kids
My mother eats two eggs every morning with bacon and toast with coffee and drink's black tea during the day, she's 102 years old and her cognitive function is amazing. She eats steak, liver cooked with bacon, pork chops, hamburgers and a beer once in a while she basically has whatever she feels like 😊
Brilliant ..my father in law is 95 , same ..he eats what makes him happy( eggs, bacon,meats,cheese,proccesed ham ,salami , CAKES 😂😂😂) lol his cognitive functions are amazing for his age..he was NEVER on any diet and never suffered from depresion or heart problems either...never been on blood preassure medication or statins
yes , vegetable oils are not good - once can the immediate stiffness from seedoils - eat them at the evening and wake you so stale that muscles creak , even the transfat in candy works better for me- it dont craet stiffness and my liver accept it unlike seedoils
I followed Dr. Ekberg's advise, started intermittent fasting (16:8) year ago, exercise and LCHF diet. I was taking glipizide 5mg twice a day. Now not taking any meds for diabetes and A1c is 6.0. But I am taking 500mg Berberine with my lunch and dinner. Eat at least 2 eggs per day. Morning cup of organic coffee with Tbs of organic Ghee. Total Cholesterol: 192, HDL: 59, Trig. 66. Good thing is feeling really good. I am 66+ yrs now. Thank you very much Dr. Ekberg!
My grandmother used to take the fat that we cut off from our steaks & pork chops, go to the stove and fry it up some more so it'd be crispy. She also ate 2 eggs in the morning sometimes with bacon, sometimes on toast. Then she'd eat 1 or 2 hard boiled egg for snack and eat steak, chicken fish or porkchops for dinner. She only lived up to 99 years old and died in her sleep. She never had any health issues, not even arthritis.
I'm a 43 years old dentist from Sweden. I feel the same way as other people already have expressed - there's so much gross disinformation, not least from the authorities that we should be able to trust. In Sweden we had our food pyramid being taught when I grew up with a rec 8 slices of bread daily for instance. Margarine was marketed as the healty alternative to evil butter and so on. It's really pretty horrible how generations have been taught a lie and now obesity and diabetes/CVD and also cancer is such a big problem. Well duh - you told us to eat ourselves to those diseases for decades. Anyway a great big thank you! to Dr Ekberg for sharing and teaching freely on RUclips how it really is. Hälsningar från Sverige! /Magnus
Here in the Netherlands we grew up with 4 slices of brown bread a day (as a kid) and 1 egg a week....Then when i was 8 i got daily headaches, the doctors couldn't find the cause of it but a magnetizer woman told my parents to feed me more food...so i got a glass of milk extra at breakfast...the headaches were over and never came back. Now i eat many eggs a day, i love it.
My cholesterol is 320. I’m 54, lost 40 lbs and weigh 107 at 5’1”. My ratios are all perfect. My HDLs are extremely high. I even got off blood pressure meds. I walk daily and lift weights 3X a week. I didn’t believe my doctor that I was ok so last summer I paid $89 to get an ultrasound of my arteries in my chest to check for calcium. I was very worried. My score was 0. I fast daily and eat 1-2 meals a day. I don’t eat sugar (only 1 small serving of berries daily). I eat eggs, fish, veggies, avocado, under nut butters, but no processed food and only olive oil and one or two small servings of a keto-friendly carb. I feel like a teenager and have so much energy I enjoy walking 90 minutes a day. I don’t know what to do with my energy!! Thank you so much for all you are doing to help people.
The scientists, ie experts lied and the people got fat, sick, sluggish and easy to control. Carbs keep you eating and once you are obese, the medical industrial complex gets its hooks into you . Science is true, many scientists are greedy liars looking for research grants.
I do the same plus all the egg yolks my wife separates. She is still brainwashed into believing that egg whites are all thats healthy the rest is heart attack waiting to happen.. She eats very little beef, butter, lard etc and can't see that I have zero health problems and she is far from healthy and blames all her health problems on her relatives..
I am 71 years old doctor of education from Finland. I feel ashamed for two reasons after seeing Dr. Sten Ekberg's video. Firstly, the mentioned international research was conducted against the principles of scientific studies. Secondly, I have believed the results of that research for years, which meant I had taught my students the "truth" of how dangerous eggs can be for your health! I have followed Dr. Ekberg’s videos for a while and have now, for several weeks, enjoyed from three to four eggs every day (fried with butter and coconut oil) and feel very good. Many thanks, Dr. Sten Ekberg!
I’ll be visiting Finland in the near future and have often wondered if Finns suffer from the same dietary effects/illnesses that Americans do. In general, Americans aren’t known for the greatest diets and Diabetes is rampant here. This study opened my eyes completely!
The consumed amount of cholesterol has very little effect. The body produces the cholesterol it NEEDS. It is not some waste body tries to get rid off. It is being produced on PURPOCE as NEEDED! Cut down the carbs and there are no longer those pesky -OH groups reacting with the veins causing inflammation. You can eat all the eggs you want if they are organic (not having messed up modified stuff in them).
I am 55 years old. A year and a half ago I suffered of different kind of inflamation and obesity, pains, bad humor, even depresion. I started to see Dr Ekberg videos. After changing my way of eating with discipline and focus only with the purpose of correct nutrition, my life changed dramatically.Just eating 4 eggs with bacon, gouda cheese and butter for breakfast, eliminating sugar and carbs, and eating 2 times a day, all those problems disappear little by little. Thanks Dr Eckberg
That is Very toxic combination of food baby, i would recomend you study basics of food combining from ayurvedic perspective and try that, you would be much healthier
I'm a 73yo with NASH, a fatty-liver disease and after extensive drug treatment for hepatitis B & C, I changed my diet to mostly carnivore. I've eaten bacon and eggs, grassfed beef, chicken and pork every day for two years. The last 7 months I've strictly followed your videos, low carb-high fat diet and I've lost 40lbs and feel great. My last liver scan was proof of success in my endeavors. Thanks and God bless for all your great videos!
Thank you so much for this video. I have been trying to convince family members that it's not the healthy grass-fed saturated fat causing heart disease. It's eating the sugar and seed oils that is sabotaging them and causing the inflammation and disease over time.
I never bought into the nonsense,but friends n family did. So I absolutely understand!! :-) Good news is, as this now has more awareness,thanks to good doctors/ nutritionists & people spreading the word, things have changed! My Grandparents always ate eggs fresh from the coop as meat was not on menu every day and both lived long healthy lives. Also had fresh cow's milk daily AND made their own butter!!!!
Un processed egg Heavily processed, hydrogenated oil from seeds humans cant consume what so ever WITHOUT processing. Clearly the processed food is healthier its made with plants 😂 Humans are way way too easy to manipulate it hurts
After suffering from health problems for years i started seeing a holistic doctor. I started eating foods cooked with lard, ghee and olive oil. I cut out bread, pasta, and rice entirely. There were also some vegetables which i had intolerances. I was very fearful of fatty foods and eggs. But it worked. I eat pasture raised eggs and meat, I lost 60 pounds the first year and have kept it off in the 3 years since. I am at a healthy weight, but would like to lose a bit more for vanity purposes. Overall, i feel better than i did when i was in my teens and 20s. No more stomach issues, bloating, weight gain. I think what amazes me is when others ask me, and i tell them, and they recoil at the thought of eating real fats. Their dietitians tell them to eat bread, that it's part of a "healthy" diet. I shake my head. Our IS bread isn't even real bread, it's not healthy at all. It's scary eating real fats at first and it's extremely hard cutting out refined sugar and bread, but it will change your life
Thank you @attabanana4709 for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
I agree with cutting out bread, rice, & pasta completely. I also very rarely have potatoes - maybe twice a month. Cut starch out of my life 2 years ago, lost 2.5 stone in 6 months. Since then I've been maintaining at my healthy weight.
Having been a dietitian for over 35 yrs. I want to thank Dr. Ekberg for teaching physiology and nutrition facts. I feel badly that for many years I was teaching patients certain information that I now know was incorrect! It was the information I learned straight from the textbook which I now know was heavily influenced by big Pharma and big Agri and food manufacturers. 😕 Over time I became so disgusted that I left the profession and went back to school to become a psychotherapist! But, fortunately, now that I have had time to understand where all the misinformation was coming from I feel more prepared than ever to guide people in terms of their diet and lifestyle. Physiology is a science with extremely important information and needs to be understood in order to understand health as it relates to diet.
Have a friend who is a retired dietician. She, to this day, still believes what she was taught so many years ago. We butted heads not long ago on margarine. God bless you.
@@Momtocam1997 😊. Margarine!? YIKES!!😵. Talk about a scary block of trans fats!! I highly recommend you save your breath with your friend. Stick with Dr. Ekberg. He's up to speed! 😊
I am 68 and stopped all my meds , it was scary at first , but side effects were unbearable. 3 times a week one hour aerobic, yoga, walks when ever I feel ( 7 km) chocolate sometimes 90% and lots of good laughs. You are so right!!! Congratulation!!!
Great video as usual thank you. I am type 2 diabetic and 68 years old. I do not take statins and my cholesterol is always around 5 (UK) I do have heart disease and had a stent fitted in 2013 changed my diet to more plant base no eggs and take supplements and I have not had problems since. However there are many videos and advice everywhere regarding eggs. I understand the chronic inflammation after reading an article in New Scientist over 20 years ago claiming all sickness can be associated with chronic inflammation. I have seen your video and many videos and studies stating that eating cholesterol does not cause cholesterol and plaques are a repair process that uses cholesterol to repair inflamed arteries. This takes me to eggs. I have seen a Dr Greger video citing studies that the reason eggs cause heart disease not because of cholesterol, as you have stated, but because of choline which reacts with the gut microbiome to produce TMAOs (trimethylamine N-oxide) L-carnitine is also a risk in producing TMAOs. It is the TMAOs that cause inflammation in the arteries and the body deposits the small dense LDL cholesterol molecules (not larger fluffy LDL) in the arterial walls. This is why I don't eat eggs not because of the cholesterol. The only time I can eat eggs is when I am taking antibiotics which destroy the bacteria in my gut that makes TMAOs from choline. I would be interested in your thoughts Dr Ekberg. Keep up the brilliant work.
It would Indeed be very interesting to hear Sten's response to the issue of TMAO (UNdesirable to have high levels, esp in relation to inflammation/heart disease). From Harvard: Choline is an essential nutrient that is naturally present in certain foods. The body can also produce SMALL amounts on its own in the liver, but NOT ENOUGH TO MEET DAILY NEEDS. Choline is converted into a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine, which helps muscles to contract, activates pain responses, and plays a role in brain functions of memory and thinking. Most choline is metabolized in the liver where it is converted into phosphatidylcholine, which assists in building fat-carrying proteins and breaking down cholesterol. It is also “food” for beneficial gut bacteria. [1] Food Sources - Choline is found in a variety of foods. (The richest sources are meat, fish, poultry, dairy, and eggs.) Beef, beef liver Egg YOLKS Chicken breast Fish Shiitake mushrooms Potatoes Legumes (beans, PEANUTS) Milk Yogurt Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage) Sunflower seeds Choline is an essential nutrient that is naturally present in certain foods and available as a supplement. The body can also produce small amounts on its own in the liver, but not enough to meet daily needs. Choline is converted into a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine, which helps muscles to contract, activates pain responses, and plays a role in brain functions of memory and thinking. Most choline is metabolized in the liver where it is converted into phosphatidylcholine, which assists in building fat-carrying proteins and breaking down cholesterol. It is also “food” for beneficial gut bacteria. [1]
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for your sound advice. I was diagnosed Type II diabetes three years ago at age 55, also had elevated LDL ratio and blood pressure. Thankfully my D.O. advised trying Keto, and I also found your videos/advice. Three years later, weight loss of 100 pounds, blood pressure normal without meds, cholesterol ratio and LDL all healthy. I eat average of two eggs per day, along with what I consider to be a diet of "real food." Requires discipline, but oh man, I have never felt better. Tusen tak!
Hello Dr Eckberg , I m from Yugoslavia, i remember, everyone i knew eat eggs , never heard on TV or anywhere that eggs were bad for you, there was also saying "svako jutro jedno jaje organizmu snagu daje" in translation: "every morning one egg gives your body strength" :) lol My Grandma had her chickens , a every morning she would fetch 2 eggs, whisked them in the cup and i would drink it :) Again, thank you so much for what you're doing, i learned so much from you and you're the reason i lost over 50 lbs and live very healthy life. Greetings
@ceb. The person probably means he was born in Yugoslavia. Back then it existed. What suprised you? I am born in Soviet Union which also no longer exists.
lep pozdrav od los angelesu. jas sem se narodil tu v amerike ampak oca pa mati sta obadva od slovenije. od buckovci pa sv juri ob scavnici. lepo prosim. odprosti mene da neznam tako dobro pisati v vasem jezike. svako jutro jas pet (5) jace imam pa sem zdrav kak velike bik! I apologize for my pathetic attempt at writing in slovenian. We spoke slovenian at home until mom and dad passed. Dad just last year at 97 years old and mom at 82 twelve years ago. I had a triple bypass in 2012 and was prescribed 4 different drugs. I weighed 108 kg or about 238 pounds back then. I've been watching Dr. Eckberg for quite some time and have incorporated many of his dietary suggestions into my routine. I now weigh 167 pounds, walk an average of 12k steps per day, and often much more. Eat grass fed, organic foods, and drink a LOT of water. Basically, if it has a bar code, I don't eat it, or closely scrutinize the ingredients. Very, VERY rarely do I eat out as it's difficult to find 'clean' food restaurants. I no longer take ANY prescription (or any recreational) drugs. I also do 14 day nothing-but-water fasts twice a year - and feel fantastic. My PCP as well as cardiologist are bereft of apropos retort when evaluating my blood work. They just shake their heads and tell me to "Just keep on doing what you're doing"
Another interesting presentation from Dr Ekberg. Carnivorous animals are not fat while herbivorous ones are fat if they get enough grass. And the herbivores are always eating while the carnivores can afford to go for days without eating.
Also, carnivores will get fat when fed the wrong food, like some domesticated cats. Industrial cat food often contains carbohydrates, even sugar, and seed oils.
I'm another who appreciates Dr E for my current health. At 67 I was over weight and pretty sedentary as a software engineer. I started to walk every morning, feeling a bit dizzy after about 500 steps but kept with it. Nothing drastic, but slowly changed my diet and kept walking watching his videos on cholesterol and diet. Two years later my cholesterol dropped from 199 to 165. I can now walk almost 3.6 miles every other day depending on heat in the summer here in Alabama and don't even breath hard! I've dropped close to 30 pounds and it has touched every aspect of my life. Last week when I got my hair cut I asked for my senior discount. The girl checking me out said she was sorry for forgetting as I didn't look like a senior. Btw, I do eat about a dozen high quality free range eggs a week, use only butter and cold pressed olive oil but still enjoy the weekly outings for fried chicken at our favorite restaurant.
My mom turns 100 in 4 weeks. She has never taken any long-term medication. She used to get mad at me when I refused to eat my egg yolks back when I believed eating cholesterol was bad. However, she might be better off now if she would have seen a doctor about her knees when she broke them as a younger woman.
And there are so many conflicting studies it's hard to make sense out of it. Even doctors can't agree what's healthy or not but the general consensus is the prescribed guidelines. Cut fats cholesterol so basically cut eggs and meats.
My doctors have been trying to get me to take statins for a number of years and I just keep telling them no. I'm not concerned about it and not interested in taking something so harmful to my body for dubious reasons. I tell my doctors "how do you know my cholesterol isn't just naturally higher than other people's anyway?" It was the same with PPIs, I had an ulcer at the top of my stomach years ago and they told me I had GERD and gave me PPIs which I took, they were useful to help the ulcer heal, but I read so many bad things about them that I stopped taking them. The day after I stopped I had a cup of instant coffee (which I used to drink 4 or 5 times a day) and instantly got acid and thought I wonder if it was the instant coffee all along. I stopped drinking it and my problems all stopped. It was the coffee causing it. But my doctor would have had me on those PPIs for the rest of my life probably and never even bother to ask me even one question about my diet. Same with statins, once you get put on them they would just keep you on them for life. It's a money-making scam for pharma and I'm not interested.
Exactly! That's the new drug they're pushing on everyone. Avoid doctors if you want a long, stress free lifespan! Don't clutter your mind with bad advice. 😉
Finally, someone who actually make some sense. We are all unique in many ways. One size doesn't fit all. To some degree, we need to keep this in mind when seeking treatment for our issues.

This is a fantastic video. I wish I could share it with my audience, but sharing is disabled. Such a good explanation of so many concepts that most people consider scientific truth. Well done!
Thank you for making this video. In my mid 40’s (10 years ago) my doctor prescribed blood pressure medicine and statins. After a year or so I really didn’t feel well (soar joints), stool problems. I was exercising 2 to 3 times a week. So I thought I was doing ok. I decided to stop taking the medication and increased my exercise rate to 6 to 7 times / week (90 minutes of vigorous exercise every day). After one month, my pain was gone, stool issues gone, my blood pressure was down to target levels and the best part, I eat all the fatty foods I want. I fast every day t’il noon and cut a lot of sugar out of my diet. I’m in better shape today with more energy than when I was in my 20’s (less party’s).
I had the similar experience to you. I had high blood pressure all my life. The HBP did not affect my life in functions as I knew. Twenty years ago, my doctor saw my blood pressure was high and prescribed medication. The side effects from the HBP medication was very bad. I was dizzy, lacking energy, feeling like half dead. The doctor changed the medication, but still had the same side effects. I just stopped taking the hbp medication and started exercising 5 days a week and 1.5 hours a time. I had a very healthy life with energy and good sleep. I also jogged 7 miles every morning. Then 6 years ago, my doctor (another one) suggested that I take the HBP medication. I told the doctor my previous experience with the HBP medication. Then he scared me by saying that if I didn't take the medication, my kidneys would be damaged and cause more problems. So, I took his advice and started to take Lisinopril. Later he added Hydrochlorothiazide on my medication. About 6 months later, when I was jogging, I started to feel uncomfortable and turned into pain in my knees. I kept jogging. I thought it was the daily jogging that wore off the cartilage. I also got pain in my big toe joints. I reduced my jogging distance, but the problem did not go away. Two years ago, when I was jogging, I sprained my left ankle. First, I did not take it very seriously. Then one week later, the pain spread to both of my knees. I was sent to a hospital and saw a foot doctor. He X-rayed me and could not find any abnormality; He gave me an orthopedic boot. He said that in just a couple days you will be fine. Two days later I had excruciating pain in my knees. I was taken to a hospital by an ambulance. I had gout, a type of arthritis, and ended up at the hospital for 11 days. The doctor realized that the HBP medication Hydrochlorothiazide caused the problem. I stayed with another patient in the same room. When I talked to him. He immediately pointed out the hbp medication was the culprit. Ling story short, I stopped taking high blood pressure medications. Now my both knees are back to normal, and I do jog and exercise. From my own experience, I believe that some health related problems may be caused by the medications.
all synthetics..meds ..have side effect as they are not naturally occurring substances in the body so the immune response would be to try and remove the invasive chemicals you may have pain discomfort blood pressure issues ETC remember this once you're on that hamster wheel big Pharma hamster wheel it is very difficult to get off as for them there is no profit in a healthy Society so they try and keep us sick
I just did my statistics homework. Given all those problems, this Doctor is on top of all the ways sample testing can deliver biased conclusions. I am impressed.
You are an amazing youtuber and I have been following your advices with no cheating and I can honestly say I have never in my life felt this good pretty all the time I feel like I am glowing. I have better workouts and I never feel mentally drained and on top of that I am fasting mostly throughout the day. Thank you so much for these great advices and calling out all the lies that we have been told! 🙏
Thanks to watching Dr. Berg and Dr.Ekberg I have reduced my A1c from 9.7 to 5.7 since April 07, 2023, today is August 8th, 2023. I cut all wheat products, sugar, and liquor and basically all processed food. My blood pressure is 106/67 on an average. I shed 61 pounds and feel great. I agree with Dr. Ekberg, people eat so many different foods that I think it's impossible to blame any one symptom on one particular food. I am not a scientist, but I would say every person would have to eat the exact food for a long period of time to get a more exact scientific result and even then, I would think there is still going to be differences in results.
Thank you for another affirming presentation! I have noticed over the years that my sensitivity to certain things improves or dissipates after addressing& correcting my diet…Our bodies ARE mainly perfectly made if we cooperate & set our minds on not overloading w/pollutants 🎉
I did athletics when I was young and I remember Sten as one of the main international competitors back over 30 years ago.I have no idea why, but I came across this channel a few months ago and it made me do a lot of research, with pretty shocking results. Sten is right and I was completely wrong in my understanding of food and health. I went on on 7 day water only fast (mosty for autophagy) and this was the best thing I have ever done to my body. Since then I have changed my diet completely, mostly avoiding carbs and enjoying saturated fats. Thanks, Sten!
I sooooo want to do a 7 day water + coffee fast. I'm type 2 and love my pork and lime chips. I did a 1⅓ day fast. Couldn't go any longer. Did you get body aches?? Headaches? Dry mouth in morning? Hunger pains?? Mood swings?? Itchiness??
Thank you for this clear, complex and inclusive report. The title scared me a bit, but now I know eggs are OK. I think your "Studies" are relevant. I had been eating 3 hard boiled eggs per day and, not long ago, cut it down to 2 for financial reasons. I will say that eggs have changed since Covid, as has chicken, or maybe it's the brands I buy. Walmart eggs are different in ways hard to describe a complete list of and a certain Tyson chicken breast product started having small chunks of gristle throughout, meaning it was processed in to me, and now it doesn't taste like chicken anymore. I also question the taste of whole milk now and have for a while. I know that the Walton boys of Walmart continually manipulate their manufacturers to do things to reduce costs so they make more profit, so I'm going to change grocery stores to see if the products are better from elsewhere. Thanks again.
My total cholesterol was 420 after I started a low carb eating habit. Felt amazing and had a six pack for the first time in my 40s. Cardiologist said I’d be dead in a year without meds. I stopped eating whole foods and go back to a standard American diet. Felt like crap, lost the six pack but my total cholesterol was 230…they still wanted me on meds. Then 3yrs later, I got back onto a low carb diet, it’s around 330. Had a Ca scan of my heart. ZERO plaques. Score was 0, (0-1000) I feel great, low heart rate, BP is normal.
I saw an explanation of why low-carb diets can cause high cholesterol. It's because the stored-up cholesterol in your organs is being released (that needs to happen). It's temporary.
I don't trust the "experts" about anything. I started asking myself questions which led me to reading books which led me to the belief that everything our body needs for sustenance is already all around us. No need for lab created food type product.
You are so right….. it is all about the money.😔 Doctors have always needed financial rewards, but it seems particularly bad these days. Where has the caring gone?
There’s a RUclips channel called Public Health Collaboration which is UK based with UK doctors presenting many of the videos. They’re on the same page as Dr Ekberg so there’s hope for the UK!
This man could teach my GP this information, I am constantly being told my Cholesterol is high. I lead a healthy life style do regular exercise and feel fit Blood Pressure normal. But they keep trying to scare me into taking Statins, They don’t like it when I say no thank you. As said in an earlier comment doctors are actually killing people with the drugs the prescribe!
I was diagnosed with heart disease in 2023. I have historical trigs being as high as 2.5. My last trigs were 0.5mmol/l I recently was tested for metabolic syndrome and this was tested and found to be insulin sensitive. My Lipoprotein (a) is high but just over the minimum range. In the last 12 months i have switched to real food and i intentially flatten my glucose by eating high saturated fat diet from animals. My blood tests show that i have no small dense Lipoprotein and my Cardiologist reckons we may have even reversed blocked Arteries.
If people stopped worrying about their cholesterol and saturated fat intake and instead focused on sugar and refined carbs, big pharma would loose a lot of money. Big Agro would loose a lot of money as well.
You’re so right. We’ve been lied to for so so long. I believe western trained doctors have been lied to as well. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise on this topic. The training apparatus needs to be fixed.
Excellent video..I’m a nutritionist in the UK, over 70 years and don’t take any meds at all.. walk dogs , cycle and still work from choice.. I have also supplemented all my life as our food sadly is so depleted of nutrients.
Thank you Dr. Stan, for another great presentation. I have watched many of your informative videos in the past month since I saw my doctor and received an elevated LDL report from my blood work. I am 63 and about 40 pounds overweight, mainly I expect, from the beer I drink and the junk I had been eating. Zero fast food in the past 6 weeks. Doctor wanted to put me on a statin drug which I declined. Since the news of my high LDL, I have discontinued my 2 pickled eggs every morning for the past 18 months, and switched to a small bowl of steel cut oatmeal every morning. I walk my dog twice a day but have gotten back on my treadmill to walk at a brisk pace for 30 minutes 3 mornings every week. I work up a good sweat then jump in the pool, then the shower and off to work. Got rid of the vegetable oils and Pam spray for my cooking hobby, and switched to Chosen Foods avocado oil and cooking spray, plus more EVOO. I cut out most sweets, and replaced with mixed nuts for snacking. Good to know I can bring my beloved pickled eggs back into my diet in moderation. I pickle the eggs with pickled jalapenos, turmeric, onion & garlic powders. I eat a lot of steamed broccoli with butter, salt and pepper, as well as cauliflower, and Romaine & celery salads with chicken for lunch. I love to eat, so portion control is a big challenge for me. I never use any margarine, always butter mixed with EVOO in cooking. Occasionally I will take a tablespoon of EVOO before bed, as I heard that is good for lowering LDL. Hoping these changes in my diet will slowly bring my LDL back in line. I take zero prescribed or over the counter meds. Does it sound to you that I am on a better path now? Thank you again for your great work!
Eating my daily two eggs as I watch this, this morning! Reaping the benefits of a keto lifestyle and losing 15 pounds in a few months. Feeling younger and looking better all the time.
It's why I'm an advocate for reviewing old findings and studies of the past to so called discoveries made from them, as our understanding and research improves more and more with time about given subjects. And with that, making sure for certain these reviews are not cherry picked to favor an agenda for some kind of personal gain.
unfortunately, most research is controlled exclusively by agenda driving organizations ... i.e. Gov't and Corps. The vast amount of science released to the public the past few decades is either flat out dishonest, or incomplete as a result. We need 3rd party reviews that are completely independent of these organizations in order to get rid of the nonsense. If you need proof that this is the case...look at the medical research studies from the mid-1800's. They already KNEW all of what we're just now re-discovering and it was published. CORP and Gov't suppressed this knowledge for profit.
I live in Korea and I just did the medical preventive visit that you can do every two years. The study from Korea you quoted uses the data from those visits I believe. My husband ended up showing a little bit more cholesterol than "allowed", so this video is reassuring. And for insuline resistance, it was so hard to get it checked. The first clinic where we did the visit straight up refused, saying that it was useless as they were testing fasting blood sugar levels. I insisted but they just refused. I insisted we go to another clinic for additional bloodwork, and there as well they told me that I didn't need it, citing the same reasons. I insisted, saying that my husband's grandfather died from diabetes, and that my own father has it as well, and only then they accepted to do it. It's crazy that I had to go to that extent to receive a service I was willing to pay for. I don't like the fact that I have to justify anything. If I want something and I can pay for it, what is it to you? So, we can keep on dreaming to have insuline resistance added to that study for now. They are still very reluctant to do those tests. They believe that blood sugar levels are enough.
They refused because you had not fasted before testing ,so it wouldn't be accurate. There are special new machines that will get your A1c levels done without the fast , but most offices don't have them yet.
It's easier to get body parts removed than it is to try keeping it healthy by monitoring it. Of course there's much more money in that, so we are left with less real preventative care.
This is by far your best and most useful video Dr. The one "that rules them all". And I have seen most of your videos, but this one would be the absolute starter. I hate message chains in general but I launched one on this video with all my family and friends considering the importance of the information shared. Thank you
“Scientific Truth” 🙄 We’ve got to unlearn everything we’ve been taught as truth and do what makes us feel our best selves. We are all so different and unique. “You figure YOU out.” 👍🏼 Thank you Dr. Ekberg, wonderful video! 🤩
👏👏👏👏 We truly need you, Dr. Thank you for everything. You are not only helping us get and stay in shape, but also helping us to become more informed to be both physically AND mentally healthy.
We have drugs - statins - which reduce LDL cholesterol. So if high LDL cholesterol was responsible to heart disease, then statins would have a dramatic effect. You would expect very few or any of those who take statins to get heart disease because you have removed the cause. Actually, statins have a very tiny effect in reducing heart disease in those who have no prior CVD, so there must be something else going on.
Big pharma keeps taking in the $$ though. Standard medicine is no longer about healing , but treating. Studies in last related to nutrition funded and backed by major food corporations who have a financially vested interest in keeping you sick so that drugs can be pushed to "treat" your symptoms. Age 64 here and off ALL 14 meds I was on just 2 yrs ago . NONE of the "advice "from ADA , dieticians or my Dr made me healthy. Eating mostly red meats, eggs bacon and butter....almost zero carb (under 10 g day) and I am healthier, thinner and more energetic than last 20 yrs
I remember reading in dr. Joel Fuhrman's book Fasting and Eating for Health how statin drugs, while they do lower cholesterol numbers, they do not treat the arteriosclerosis that is going on in the blood vessels.
@@cindyjames4407 I'm definitely going to do more research on that because my doctor has me on Lipitor. I read some downfalls of taking that type of drug doing bad stuff to other parts of your body. Bottom line I'm doing more research on it 🤔. Thank you so much for sharing that info 👍.
Your local doctor has been educated in med school to freak out if your cholesterol is above 200. Statins will get that number under 200. Thus, it has become a very idiotic numbers game.
Thank you Dr. Your videos has given me a lot of illumination on how to understand the way my body works and what should I be eating to fix decades of wrong patterns of alimentary conduct. Feeling better each day.
This is great info. There is a Danish study that also concluded that LDL cholesterol and mortality correlation is a bell curve, with the optimal at 3.6 mmol/l or 139 mg/dl. So the 2 studies validate each other.
I'm 73 been eating saturated fat all my life, never had a heart attack or stroke and I'm still here and healthy as far as l know. Most of the above is caused by stress.
Yep, I am proof - got an autoimmune 'attack' (now permanent affliction, better or worse depending on diet/lifestyle, of course) . . .all tricked into action by S T R E S S over the years, and then one final whammy. Pow. Avoid Stress at all costs, take breaks, hang up phone on negative family phone calls! Try to work things out with a third party/interpreter (an understanding ear, attached to 'smarts'!)
Ive eaten 6 to 9 eggs everyday for 15 years , i should have been under dirts by now An ancient afghan scientists said "experience is more valid than science" After so much time , im in a state of health that i dont remember the last time ive got cold, flu or any sickness
I am proud with my 311 cholesterol 🙈 i lost weight, i have all methabolic markers in perfect range, my test is 95% and as well as other hormones (thyroid, etc)
I remember the Egg Scare in the 90s. Turns out the Egg Farmers refused to pay Lobbyists, and the revenge was all these scary "studies" that put some out of business.
I started eating keto a couple of months ago. I use lots of olive oil and butter, eat eggs and bacon. My cholesterol went down 100 points! My triglycerides dropped significantly also. I was so surprised. My doctor had started to mention statins. I said NO, I'll work on lifestyle changes. I'm sure my doctor was very surprised.
His cholesterol talk was interesting. I've had high levels all my life. Currently 330. My Doctor was horrified when I saw him years ago. Sorry, no, we don't take meds or any drugs. I hardly ever get sick (last time 1980) am not overweight, BP and other blood tests perfect for a 69 yr old. I have an old traditional 60s diet. Plenty of eggs, cheese, meats, butter, organic dairy, greens, some fruit. To keep the Doc happy, I did take omega3 pills (2gm) daily for a month, which did drop my levels down to 280 but he said 160 was the ideal target. Idiot.
I fall into the same category. I have high cholesterol and triglycerides. A few years back I agreed to take a medicine for the triglycerides... long story short the intense muscle pain that I had made me research my docs recommendation and sure enough one of the many side effects of the meds were, MUSCLE PAIN! I quit it that day. The food pyramid is upside down and most doctors I am sad to say are pill pushers who essentially work for the Pharma industry. They know very little about nutrition or holistic medicine. God bless.
I just love saturated fats and a lot of Cholesterol! 😂😂 Thats why I am a 72 year old guy without ever having a medical condition/problem, is slim and "full of it"! LOL! 🤣🤣
I raised my own chickens that I butchered and gives me eggs every day. I started following Dr. Ekberg and started keto and IF. I lost 20lbs in 8 weeks. Thank you Doctor for sharing your knowledge ❤
We are all built different. Some people out there are truly able to eat, drink, smoke, jump out of buildings, and live to 100. Some try to avoid all that and die young.
Each of us have our own unique gene combination . That determines your life span. Two people can be given the same diet for life. One will outlive the other, maybe by many years.
Firstly thank you Dr Sten Ekberg. Secondly I am 57 years old lady and since 2019 diagnosed with Autoimmune Diseases with rheumatoid arthritis and undifferentiated congestive tissues disease , I have not in medication but I choose to be active and I stop sugar, Thanks God I never drink alcohol or smoke but my weight is not (78kg high 163m ) great so I would be grateful if you give advice helps me with weight and my condition T😊
Unbelievable contribution. I will save this as a wealth of information. Dr. Ekberg a thousand thanks for your earnest, faithful and diligent efforts to improve humanity!!
Another ACE video explanation Dr Ekberg! Truly, this information should be standard issue to all health establishments ... and that includes the UK's NHS!
Eating eggs while watching this vid. 😊 Multinational pharmaceutical companies can go away and stop “educating” doctors to prescribe their rubbish chemicals.
Exactly! We do the following from our own Organic Farm: 1. Organic Fruit, Vegetables, Eggs, Fish, Chicken & Pork 2. Oil is from our own Coconuts 3. Lots of Sunshine (we are in the tropics) 4. Fresh Water from our wells 5. Daily Meditation routines (as a Meditation Master, we make it Fun and with Intent) 6. Daily Exercise 7. Laugh
I've eaten 2-3 eggs every day for almost 30 years with sliced chicken or turkey and my cholesterol is totally normal. Aside of slight lifestyle changes due to taking a less active day job my numbers almost never moved. I do however try to limit my intake of red meat and processed meats. I tried the almond milk thing etc.. and felt worse...so I went back to whole milk. I cut table sugar out of my daily coffee and usually drink it black. I eat veggies like brussel sprouts, asparagus and egg plant. I go light on the sugary snacks and alcohol. I only use EVO & normal butter. Just sharing my experience..I hope it helps others.
Thank you! I have been waiting for this video! When someone talls me that it is bad to eat eggs, I ask them about the purpose of the nutrients in an egg. Create life, right?
My father is 95, has type 2 Diabetes .... he has been eating eggs every day for years. He shows practically no cognitive decline, his only complaint is that his legs aren't terribly strong now.
May i know what medicine he takes for his diabetes? Is it controlled? I just want to know since my husband is type2 also but taking metformin but still have high blood sugar readings, maybe because of his work facing always with the monitor and maybe stress.
@@rho056 my father was on Metformin, but was changed to insulin injections because the Metformin was affecting his kidney function. His blood sugars are now stable, he tests twice a day... his mood is improved and his apetite is very good. He also takes high blood pressure tablets and statins. Hope this helps.
@@rho056How’s his meals? More meats/eggs? Little or no carbs? IF? Exercising everywhere, “anywhere,” and anytime? Sitting at a desk and moving/stretching his legs? Opportunity to stand and stretch with mild force? Doing these mayn’t need meds at all. But everyone is different. Good luck!
I’m 80 have diabetes . I eat eggs 3-4 times a week with butter ,sometimes 4-5 eggs on my plate . I play scrabble on my iPad and beat the opponent 99% of the time, cards etc . My cognitive skills are better than my kids or my friends . I do multiplication tables in my head daily to test my brain . Refused my Dr. advice into taking a statin to maintain my normal cholesterol level.
Absolutely fantastic Dr.Sten Ekberg. Thank you so much for providing with so much of useful information and also about all the preconceived misinformation about CVD . Looking forward to more new findings on CVD.
You can easily see in blood work, when i went Keto. All my bad number cleared up and went down. I ate cheeses, eggs, bacon, fats, etc....And my health improved at least within all my blood work. Why is it so complicated to understand? check the blood work.
My breakfast is 3 eggs, a large breakfast sausage, half a tomato chopped along with half an avocado chopped and drizzled in lots of olive oil, salt/pepper on that and a slice of buttered rye toast. The fried stuff is fried in butter. When I eat this on a regular basis combined with no beer in the evening I feel effing amazing, and I'm not hungry until around 2 in the afternoon.
this video magically pops up right after I got my bloodwork done, and doctor presribed me meds due to high direct cholesterol (199). I was in dismay, because all other numbers were in normal/ideal range (triglicerides, HDL) yet total cholesterol constituted 296. I am 30 years old, never was overwheight but started low-carb due to health excellence and general improvement, never felt better, am eating twice a day and hitting the macros. and when I asked the doc, what could be the reason , she shockingly replied "DUE TO MINDLESS EXPERIMENTS ON SELF". I am on crossroads, don't want to give up my low-carb, since I firmly believe that this type of lifestyle is not only for overwheight people, and can yield health benefits. please tell me if I am wrong, I watched so many vids online with conflicting evidence and views, about LDL and keto and carbs that I am at loss. I weight 65-67 KG almost always, and am 172 height
Years ago I went to the Nathan pritikin Center in Downingtown for 2 weeks. Our blood was tested at the beginning and at the end. I had been eating a high diet prior to going there. The diet there was low-fat Whole Food mostly plant-based with a little fish. They explained how the red and white blood cells are completely replaced in 2 weeks. My cholesterol went down 100 points in two weeks.
If they can keep us sick they can continue to make money off of us. Customers for life. I'm discussed with our health care system, insurance companies and big pharma. Thank you for all that you do, I just discovered your RUclips channel and love it.
Dr. Ekberg and Dr. Berg provide great advice. I'm 55 and doing a health tune up as I'm retiring next year. Have dramatically reduced net carbs and increased proteins, yes, including eggs and meat. Also added a tonic of fresh lemon juice 1 Oz, (thanks Costco), a tbsp of apple cider vinegar, and tumeric in 12 Oz of water. Lost 10 lbs and feel great, am losing visceral fat. Of course you have to move too, but diet is key!
3 eggs fried in butter, together with full fat creme, has been my morning routine for months now. It’s always a tasteful & great way to stay full for several hours!
Actually I ate loads of eggs, cream and frozen berries with little bananas. Can not eat grains. I had no triglycerides in measurable amount under 0.57 and entire cholesterol was under 3.5. I had like a carton of organic eggs a day. I red a story about a guy, who had loads of eggs and milk and his cholesterol was fine untill he moved into the city eating the same kinds of food. The only difference was the eggs were not organic. He figured out those grocery store eggs had something fundamentally different stuff in them as his cholesterol shoot up untill he switched to organic eggs
I'm almost 62 was diagnosed with high blood pressure 2 years ago 171/101 put on med and full blood tests cholesterol was quite low and normal blood sugar, bit over weight, eat grilled meat and butter eggs every day no interest in sweets snacks or pudding my bp was normal until I got covid feb 2020 before the vaccine yet it was a mild flu illness for me
Hey doc! I was waiting for the holistic video to safely introduce you to my friends. I think this one will do as you gently tackle the cholesterol issue and illustrate it with that game changing nature study. No insuline or keto mechanism but people will have to watch more on their own to find out. Really great job!

Hi Dr Ekberg.
My child 12 year old is obese . And has more belly fat with relatively smarter arms n legs . He has a strong family history of increased cholesterol and heart diseases from paternal side . I am highly concerned about his health . Can u guide about children's diet management? With a special concern about low carb diet in kids
Have two eggs every morning with ounce of cheese or tablespoon of peanut butter instead of bread or toast. Done so for years.
Sorry to say Dr, too many adds in this one!
Otherwise, keep up the good work 🎉

My mother eats two eggs every morning with bacon and toast with coffee and drink's black tea during the day, she's 102 years old and her cognitive function is amazing. She eats steak, liver cooked with bacon, pork chops, hamburgers and a beer once in a while she basically has whatever she feels like 😊
😂❤ Love it
Brilliant ..my father in law is 95 , same ..he eats what makes him happy( eggs, bacon,meats,cheese,proccesed ham ,salami , CAKES 😂😂😂) lol his cognitive functions are amazing for his age..he was NEVER on any diet and never suffered from depresion or heart problems either...never been on blood preassure medication or statins
I eat two eggs almost every morning. It’s my favorite breakfast. Happy to hear about your Mom.🌸
yes , vegetable oils are not good - once can the immediate stiffness from seedoils - eat them at the evening and wake you so stale that muscles creak , even the transfat in candy works better for me- it dont craet stiffness and my liver accept it unlike seedoils
Anecdotes aren't proof.
There are also people who smoked all their lives and got very old.
I followed Dr. Ekberg's advise, started intermittent fasting (16:8) year ago, exercise and LCHF diet. I was taking glipizide 5mg twice a day. Now not taking any meds for diabetes and A1c is 6.0. But I am taking 500mg Berberine with my lunch and dinner. Eat at least 2 eggs per day. Morning cup of organic coffee with Tbs of organic Ghee. Total Cholesterol: 192, HDL: 59, Trig. 66. Good thing is feeling really good. I am 66+ yrs now. Thank you very much Dr. Ekberg!
I am not sold on the ghee thing. Ghee is the only product out of thousands that is 100% oxidized cholesterol. I am suspicions of eating rancid fats.
Mee to, i lost 20 kg and stoped my blood pressure medicine . Intermittent fasting, healthier nutrition a exercise, does wonders
Thank you dr. Eckberg❤
Looking good man
That's Wonderful! What does Berberine do? Thank You!
My grandmother used to take the fat that we cut off from our steaks & pork chops, go to the stove and fry it up some more so it'd be crispy. She also ate 2 eggs in the morning sometimes with bacon, sometimes on toast. Then she'd eat 1 or 2 hard boiled egg for snack and eat steak, chicken fish or porkchops for dinner. She only lived up to 99 years old and died in her sleep. She never had any health issues, not even arthritis.
I'm a 43 years old dentist from Sweden. I feel the same way as other people already have expressed - there's so much gross disinformation, not least from the authorities that we should be able to trust. In Sweden we had our food pyramid being taught when I grew up with a rec 8 slices of bread daily for instance. Margarine was marketed as the healty alternative to evil butter and so on. It's really pretty horrible how generations have been taught a lie and now obesity and diabetes/CVD and also cancer is such a big problem. Well duh - you told us to eat ourselves to those diseases for decades.
Anyway a great big thank you! to Dr Ekberg for sharing and teaching freely on RUclips how it really is.
Hälsningar från Sverige! /Magnus
Tusentak!
@@truthprevails5760Same in Canada. Thats what happens when bankers own the education system.
Here in the Netherlands we grew up with 4 slices of brown bread a day (as a kid) and 1 egg a week....Then when i was 8 i got daily headaches, the doctors couldn't find the cause of it but a magnetizer woman told my parents to feed me more food...so i got a glass of milk extra at breakfast...the headaches were over and never came back. Now i eat many eggs a day, i love it.
so all the doctors from the documentary EATING were wrong ......
Very confusing tell directly whether eggs are good or bad.
My cholesterol is 320. I’m 54, lost 40 lbs and weigh 107 at 5’1”. My ratios are all perfect. My HDLs are extremely high. I even got off blood pressure meds. I walk daily and lift weights 3X a week. I didn’t believe my doctor that I was ok so last summer I paid $89 to get an ultrasound of my arteries in my chest to check for calcium. I was very worried. My score was 0. I fast daily and eat 1-2 meals a day. I don’t eat sugar (only 1 small serving of berries daily). I eat eggs, fish, veggies, avocado, under nut butters, but no processed food and only olive oil and one or two small servings of a keto-friendly carb.
I feel like a teenager and have so much energy I enjoy walking 90 minutes a day. I don’t know what to do with my energy!! Thank you so much for all you are doing to help people.
Thank God for being blessed with health ☺️

Love to hear this
Can you please share what keto friendly carbs you eat?
The scientists, ie experts lied and the people got fat, sick, sluggish and easy to control. Carbs keep you eating and once you are obese, the medical industrial complex gets its hooks into you .
Science is true, many scientists are greedy liars looking for research grants.
I eat around 7 to 9 eggs per day and I am a carnivore eater. I feel awesome. Thank you.
Same here 5-8 eggs per day, feel good, good pump during workouts
hope you sleep with the window open
Yep! I eat at least four eggs every day for breakfast, and in my latest blood tests, my cholesterol had gone down!! 😂
brilliant to eat carnivor ! I am one too round 6 months now
I do the same plus all the egg yolks my wife separates. She is still brainwashed into believing that egg whites are all thats healthy the rest is heart attack waiting to happen.. She eats very little beef, butter, lard etc and can't see that I have zero health problems and she is far from healthy and blames all her health problems on her relatives..

Absolute facts sir, 👍🏾
I am 71 years old doctor of education from Finland. I feel ashamed for two reasons after seeing Dr. Sten Ekberg's video. Firstly, the mentioned international research was conducted against the principles of scientific studies. Secondly, I have believed the results of that research for years, which meant I had taught my students the "truth" of how dangerous eggs can be for your health!
I have followed Dr. Ekberg’s videos for a while and have now, for several weeks, enjoyed from three to four eggs every day (fried with butter and coconut oil) and feel very good.
Many thanks, Dr. Sten Ekberg!
I’ll be visiting Finland in the near future and have often wondered if Finns suffer from the same dietary effects/illnesses that Americans do. In general, Americans aren’t known for the greatest diets and Diabetes is rampant here. This study opened my eyes completely!
It must be No More Than 4 Chicken Eggs or No More Than 1 Ostrich sized Eggs.
The consumed amount of cholesterol has very little effect. The body produces the cholesterol it NEEDS. It is not some waste body tries to get rid off. It is being produced on PURPOCE as NEEDED!
Cut down the carbs and there are no longer those pesky -OH groups reacting with the veins causing inflammation. You can eat all the eggs you want if they are organic (not having messed up modified stuff in them).
@@historygal7 yeah. Finland is mimicking Americans in nearly every aspect. I would not wonder if Finland no longer had public healthcare soon.
@@DinkyDoughnutan Ostrich egg is more than 1 kg in weight, probably even 1.5. Good luck in eating one a day 😂
I am 55 years old. A year and a half ago I suffered of different kind of inflamation and obesity, pains, bad humor, even depresion. I started to see Dr Ekberg videos. After changing my way of eating with discipline and focus only with the purpose of correct nutrition, my life changed dramatically.Just eating 4 eggs with bacon, gouda cheese and butter for breakfast, eliminating sugar and carbs, and eating 2 times a day, all those problems disappear little by little. Thanks Dr Eckberg
Each die has to be based on a test blood and urine for example too much proteins is bad for kidneys stone
That is Very toxic combination of food baby, i would recomend you study basics of food combining from ayurvedic perspective and try that, you would be much healthier
Doing the same ! Same age too !
@@TresMar-n1u Proteins and fats is what your body needs most. There are people out there who eating canivore diet for 1-2 years nothing but meat. 🍖🥩🤣
That's kinda dangerous don't you think. It seems like a very heavy breakfast.
I'm a 73yo with NASH, a fatty-liver disease and after extensive drug treatment for hepatitis B & C, I changed my diet to mostly carnivore. I've eaten bacon and eggs, grassfed beef, chicken and pork every day for two years. The last 7 months I've strictly followed your videos, low carb-high fat diet and I've lost 40lbs and feel great. My last liver scan was proof of success in my endeavors. Thanks and God bless for all your great videos!
Thank you so much for this video. I have been trying to convince family members that it's not the healthy grass-fed saturated fat causing heart disease. It's eating the sugar and seed oils that is sabotaging them and causing the inflammation and disease over time.
I never bought into the nonsense,but friends n family did.
So I absolutely understand!! :-)
Good news is, as this now has more awareness,thanks to good doctors/ nutritionists & people spreading the word, things have changed!
My Grandparents always ate eggs fresh from the coop as meat was not on menu every day and both lived long healthy lives. Also had fresh cow's milk daily AND made their own butter!!!!
Un processed egg
Heavily processed, hydrogenated oil from seeds humans cant consume what so ever WITHOUT processing. Clearly the processed food is healthier its made with plants 😂

After suffering from health problems for years i started seeing a holistic doctor. I started eating foods cooked with lard, ghee and olive oil. I cut out bread, pasta, and rice entirely. There were also some vegetables which i had intolerances. I was very fearful of fatty foods and eggs. But it worked. I eat pasture raised eggs and meat, I lost 60 pounds the first year and have kept it off in the 3 years since. I am at a healthy weight, but would like to lose a bit more for vanity purposes. Overall, i feel better than i did when i was in my teens and 20s. No more stomach issues, bloating, weight gain. I think what amazes me is when others ask me, and i tell them, and they recoil at the thought of eating real fats. Their dietitians tell them to eat bread, that it's part of a "healthy" diet. I shake my head. Our IS bread isn't even real bread, it's not healthy at all. It's scary eating real fats at first and it's extremely hard cutting out refined sugar and bread, but it will change your life
Try Spelt flour for bread.
I did the same 2 years ago..a wonderful journey.
I understand that sourdough is a lot healthier since it’s fermented bread.
Thank you @attabanana4709 for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
I agree with cutting out bread, rice, & pasta completely. I also very rarely have potatoes - maybe twice a month. Cut starch out of my life 2 years ago, lost 2.5 stone in 6 months. Since then I've been maintaining at my healthy weight.
Having been a dietitian for over 35 yrs. I want to thank Dr. Ekberg for teaching physiology and nutrition facts. I feel badly that for many years I was teaching patients certain information that I now know was incorrect! It was the information I learned straight from the textbook which I now know was heavily influenced by big Pharma and big Agri and food manufacturers. 😕
Over time I became so disgusted that I left the profession and went back to school to become a psychotherapist! But, fortunately, now that I have had time to understand where all the misinformation was coming from I feel more prepared than ever to guide people in terms of their diet and lifestyle.
Physiology is a science with extremely important information and needs to be understood in order to understand health as it relates to diet.
Have a friend who is a retired dietician. She, to this day, still believes what she was taught so many years ago. We butted heads not long ago on margarine. God bless you.
@@Momtocam1997 😊. Margarine!? YIKES!!😵. Talk about a scary block of trans fats!! I highly recommend you save your breath with your friend. Stick with Dr. Ekberg. He's up to speed! 😊

I am 68 and stopped all my meds , it was scary at first , but side effects were unbearable.
3 times a week one hour aerobic, yoga, walks when ever I feel (

You are so right!!! Congratulation!!!
Great video as usual thank you. I am type 2 diabetic and 68 years old. I do not take statins and my cholesterol is always around 5 (UK) I do have heart disease and had a stent fitted in 2013 changed my diet to more plant base no eggs and take supplements and I have not had problems since. However there are many videos and advice everywhere regarding eggs. I understand the chronic inflammation after reading an article in New Scientist over 20 years ago claiming all sickness can be associated with chronic inflammation. I have seen your video and many videos and studies stating that eating cholesterol does not cause cholesterol and plaques are a repair process that uses cholesterol to repair inflamed arteries. This takes me to eggs. I have seen a Dr Greger video citing studies that the reason eggs cause heart disease not because of cholesterol, as you have stated, but because of choline which reacts with the gut microbiome to produce TMAOs (trimethylamine N-oxide) L-carnitine is also a risk in producing TMAOs. It is the TMAOs that cause inflammation in the arteries and the body deposits the small dense LDL cholesterol molecules (not larger fluffy LDL) in the arterial walls. This is why I don't eat eggs not because of the cholesterol. The only time I can eat eggs is when I am taking antibiotics which destroy the bacteria in my gut that makes TMAOs from choline. I would be interested in your thoughts Dr Ekberg. Keep up the brilliant work.
It would Indeed be very interesting to hear Sten's response to the issue of TMAO (UNdesirable to have high levels, esp in relation to inflammation/heart disease). From Harvard:
Choline is an essential nutrient that is naturally present in certain foods. The body can also produce SMALL amounts on its own in the liver, but NOT ENOUGH TO MEET DAILY NEEDS. Choline is converted into a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine, which helps muscles to contract, activates pain responses, and plays a role in brain functions of memory and thinking. Most choline is metabolized in the liver where it is converted into phosphatidylcholine, which assists in building fat-carrying proteins and breaking down cholesterol. It is also “food” for beneficial gut bacteria. [1]
Food Sources - Choline is found in a variety of foods. (The richest sources are meat, fish, poultry, dairy, and eggs.)
Beef, beef liver
Egg YOLKS
Chicken breast
Fish
Shiitake mushrooms
Potatoes
Legumes (beans, PEANUTS)
Milk
Yogurt
Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage)
Sunflower seeds

Thank you Dr. Ekberg for your sound advice. I was diagnosed Type II diabetes three years ago at age 55, also had elevated LDL ratio and blood pressure. Thankfully my D.O. advised trying Keto, and I also found your videos/advice. Three years later, weight loss of 100 pounds, blood pressure normal without meds, cholesterol ratio and LDL all healthy. I eat average of two eggs per day, along with what I consider to be a diet of "real food." Requires discipline, but oh man, I have never felt better. Tusen tak!
Thank you @billmankin6204. Congratulations on your amazing results and for picking a smart doctor. 😄
GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!👏👏👏
Hello Dr Eckberg , I m from Yugoslavia, i remember, everyone i knew eat eggs , never heard on TV or anywhere that eggs were bad for you, there was also saying "svako jutro jedno jaje organizmu snagu daje" in translation: "every morning one egg gives your body strength" :) lol
My Grandma had her chickens , a every morning she would fetch 2 eggs, whisked them in the cup and i would drink it :)
Again, thank you so much for what you're doing, i learned so much from you and you're the reason i lost over 50 lbs and live very healthy life.
Greetings
In the UK there was an advertising campaign and the slogan was" Go to work on an egg"
@@ceb. No, it does not exist anymore, it did exist from1945 until 1991 when the War broke out.
@ceb. The person probably means he was born in Yugoslavia. Back then it existed. What suprised you? I am born in Soviet Union which also no longer exists.

lep pozdrav od los angelesu. jas sem se narodil tu v amerike ampak oca pa mati sta obadva od slovenije. od buckovci pa sv juri ob scavnici. lepo prosim. odprosti mene da neznam tako dobro pisati v vasem jezike. svako jutro jas pet (5) jace imam pa sem zdrav kak velike bik! I apologize for my pathetic attempt at writing in slovenian. We spoke slovenian at home until mom and dad passed. Dad just last year at 97 years old and mom at 82 twelve years ago. I had a triple bypass in 2012 and was prescribed 4 different drugs. I weighed 108 kg or about 238 pounds back then. I've been watching Dr. Eckberg for quite some time and have incorporated many of his dietary suggestions into my routine. I now weigh 167 pounds, walk an average of 12k steps per day, and often much more. Eat grass fed, organic foods, and drink a LOT of water. Basically, if it has a bar code, I don't eat it, or closely scrutinize the ingredients. Very, VERY rarely do I eat out as it's difficult to find 'clean' food restaurants. I no longer take ANY prescription (or any recreational) drugs. I also do 14 day nothing-but-water fasts twice a year - and feel fantastic. My PCP as well as cardiologist are bereft of apropos retort when evaluating my blood work. They just shake their heads and tell me to "Just keep on doing what you're doing"
Another interesting presentation from Dr Ekberg. Carnivorous animals are not fat while herbivorous ones are fat if they get enough grass. And the herbivores are always eating while the carnivores can afford to go for days without eating.
Very insightful. Never thought about it this way and you're absolutely right! 😊
There's more to it than that. Polar bears are carnivores but they lay down fat for the winter.
@roberttaylor5997 they need to în order to survive the months without food
Also, carnivores will get fat when fed the wrong food, like some domesticated cats. Industrial cat food often contains carbohydrates, even sugar, and seed oils.
I agree with this message 🇺🇸
I'm another who appreciates Dr E for my current health.
At 67 I was over weight and pretty sedentary as a software engineer. I started to walk every morning, feeling a bit dizzy after about 500 steps but kept with it.
Nothing drastic, but slowly changed my diet and kept walking watching his videos on cholesterol and diet.
Two years later my cholesterol dropped from 199 to 165. I can now walk almost 3.6 miles every other day depending on heat in the summer here in Alabama and don't even breath hard! I've dropped close to 30 pounds and it has touched every aspect of my life.
Last week when I got my hair cut I asked for my senior discount. The girl checking me out said she was sorry for forgetting as I didn't look like a senior.
Btw, I do eat about a dozen high quality free range eggs a week, use only butter and cold pressed olive oil but still enjoy the weekly outings for fried chicken at our favorite restaurant.
Congrats! And keep it up, the more exercise and cardio, and least 'sitting' the better for all of us! Way to go.
By this video, going from 199 to 165 was not an improvement. LOL.
My mom turns 100 in 4 weeks. She has never taken any long-term medication. She used to get mad at me when I refused to eat my egg yolks back when I believed eating cholesterol was bad. However, she might be better off now if she would have seen a doctor about her knees when she broke them as a younger woman.
My friend grandfather lived to be 102 and his advise for his longevity was a boiled egg every morning
Happy Birthday to your mum 🎂🎉❤
You hit the nail on the head about Medical Studies, Doctor. There seems to always be an agenda. Thank you for the hard work educating people.
😮
You are welcome @Edward-MTBKR. Thank you for watching. 😄
And there are so many conflicting studies it's hard to make sense out of it. Even doctors can't agree what's healthy or not but the general consensus is the prescribed guidelines. Cut fats cholesterol so basically cut eggs and meats.
My doctors have been trying to get me to take statins for a number of years and I just keep telling them no. I'm not concerned about it and not interested in taking something so harmful to my body for dubious reasons. I tell my doctors "how do you know my cholesterol isn't just naturally higher than other people's anyway?" It was the same with PPIs, I had an ulcer at the top of my stomach years ago and they told me I had GERD and gave me PPIs which I took, they were useful to help the ulcer heal, but I read so many bad things about them that I stopped taking them. The day after I stopped I had a cup of instant coffee (which I used to drink 4 or 5 times a day) and instantly got acid and thought I wonder if it was the instant coffee all along. I stopped drinking it and my problems all stopped. It was the coffee causing it. But my doctor would have had me on those PPIs for the rest of my life probably and never even bother to ask me even one question about my diet. Same with statins, once you get put on them they would just keep you on them for life. It's a money-making scam for pharma and I'm not interested.
Yes,have just taken myself off PPIs.Bit rough at first, getting better every day.
@@georgetteparsons4474 try and find out what was triggering your acid.
I had the same problem from pre workout supplements that high levels of caffeine. I stopped taking them and the problem stopped but it took months
Its true they are getting paid for putting their patients on prescription.
Exactly! That's the new drug they're pushing on everyone. Avoid doctors if you want a long, stress free lifespan! Don't clutter your mind with bad advice. 😉
Finally, someone who actually make some sense. We are all unique in many ways. One size doesn't fit all. To some degree, we need to keep this in mind when seeking treatment for our issues.
This is a fantastic video. I wish I could share it with my audience, but sharing is disabled. Such a good explanation of so many concepts that most people consider scientific truth. Well done!
Just started watching this video and am expecting to hear that eggs are gold. Nothing better than eggs for me.
Thank you for making this video. In my mid 40’s (10 years ago) my doctor prescribed blood pressure medicine and statins. After a year or so I really didn’t feel well (soar joints), stool problems. I was exercising 2 to 3 times a week. So I thought I was doing ok.
I decided to stop taking the medication and increased my exercise rate to 6 to 7 times / week (90 minutes of vigorous exercise every day). After one month, my pain was gone, stool issues gone, my blood pressure was down to target levels and the best part, I eat all the fatty foods I want. I fast every day t’il noon and cut a lot of sugar out of my diet.
I’m in better shape today with more energy than when I was in my 20’s (less party’s).
I had the similar experience to you.
I had high blood pressure all my life. The HBP did not affect my life in functions as I knew. Twenty years ago, my doctor saw my blood pressure was high and prescribed medication.
The side effects from the HBP medication was very bad. I was dizzy, lacking energy, feeling like half dead. The doctor changed the medication, but still had the same side effects. I just stopped taking the hbp medication and started exercising 5 days a week and 1.5 hours a time. I had a very healthy life with energy and good sleep. I also jogged 7 miles every morning.
Then 6 years ago, my doctor (another one) suggested that I take the HBP medication. I told the doctor my previous experience with the HBP medication. Then he scared me by saying that if I didn't take the medication, my kidneys would be damaged and cause more problems. So, I took his advice and started to take Lisinopril. Later he added Hydrochlorothiazide on my medication.
About 6 months later, when I was jogging, I started to feel uncomfortable and turned into pain in my knees. I kept jogging. I thought it was the daily jogging that wore off the cartilage. I also got pain in my big toe joints. I reduced my jogging distance, but the problem did not go away.
Two years ago, when I was jogging, I sprained my left ankle. First, I did not take it very seriously. Then one week later, the pain spread to both of my knees. I was sent to a hospital and saw a foot doctor. He X-rayed me and could not find any abnormality; He gave me an orthopedic boot. He said that in just a couple days you will be fine.
Two days later I had excruciating pain in my knees. I was taken to a hospital by an ambulance. I had gout, a type of arthritis, and ended up at the hospital for 11 days. The doctor realized that the HBP medication Hydrochlorothiazide caused the problem. I stayed with another patient in the same room. When I talked to him. He immediately pointed out the hbp medication was the culprit.
Ling story short, I stopped taking high blood pressure medications. Now my both knees are back to normal, and I do jog and exercise.
From my own experience, I believe that some health related problems may be caused by the medications.
Chinese have believed for over 700 yrs that stagnant blood causes disease. This is taught in Martial Arts.
all synthetics..meds ..have side effect as they are not naturally occurring substances in the body so the immune response would be to try and remove the invasive chemicals you may have pain discomfort blood pressure issues ETC remember this once you're on that hamster wheel big Pharma hamster wheel it is very difficult to get off as for them there is no profit in a healthy Society so they try and keep us sick

I just did my statistics homework. Given all those problems, this Doctor is on top of all the ways sample testing can deliver biased conclusions. I am impressed.
Study of Statistics is an extremely useful discipline. One more thing that helps you use your own head with confidence
Thank you @charlesschwer8177. I just call it common sense. As a clinician looking for results you quickly realize how different people are.😄

Thank you so much for these great advices and calling out all the lies that we have been told! 🙏
Thanks to watching Dr. Berg and Dr.Ekberg I have reduced my A1c from 9.7 to 5.7 since April 07, 2023, today is August 8th, 2023. I cut all wheat products, sugar, and liquor and basically all processed food. My blood pressure is 106/67 on an average. I shed 61 pounds and feel great. I agree with Dr. Ekberg, people eat so many different foods that I think it's impossible to blame any one symptom on one particular food. I am not a scientist, but I would say every person would have to eat the exact food for a long period of time to get a more exact scientific result and even then, I would think there is still going to be differences in results.
Thank you for another affirming presentation!
I have noticed over the years that my sensitivity to certain things improves or dissipates after addressing& correcting my diet…Our bodies ARE mainly perfectly made if we cooperate & set our minds on not overloading w/pollutants 🎉

I did athletics when I was young and I remember Sten as one of the main international competitors back over 30 years ago.I have no idea why, but I came across this channel a few months ago and it made me do a lot of research, with pretty shocking results. Sten is right and I was completely wrong in my understanding of food and health. I went on on 7 day water only fast (mosty for autophagy) and this was the best thing I have ever done to my body. Since then I have changed my diet completely, mostly avoiding carbs and enjoying saturated fats. Thanks, Sten!
I sooooo want to do a 7 day water + coffee fast. I'm type 2 and love my pork and lime chips. I did a 1⅓ day fast. Couldn't go any longer. Did you get body aches?? Headaches? Dry mouth in morning? Hunger pains?? Mood swings?? Itchiness??

Thank you for this clear, complex and inclusive report. The title scared me a bit, but now I know eggs are OK. I think your "Studies" are relevant. I had been eating 3 hard boiled eggs per day and, not long ago, cut it down to 2 for financial reasons. I will say that eggs have changed since Covid, as has chicken, or maybe it's the brands I buy. Walmart eggs are different in ways hard to describe a complete list of and a certain Tyson chicken breast product started having small chunks of gristle throughout, meaning it was processed in to me, and now it doesn't taste like chicken anymore. I also question the taste of whole milk now and have for a while. I know that the Walton boys of Walmart continually manipulate their manufacturers to do things to reduce costs so they make more profit, so I'm going to change grocery stores to see if the products are better from elsewhere. Thanks again.
My total cholesterol was 420 after I started a low carb eating habit. Felt amazing and had a six pack for the first time in my 40s. Cardiologist said I’d be dead in a year without meds.
I stopped eating whole foods and go back to a standard American diet. Felt like crap, lost the six pack but my total cholesterol was 230…they still wanted me on meds.
Then 3yrs later, I got back onto a low carb diet, it’s around 330. Had a Ca scan of my heart. ZERO plaques. Score was 0, (0-1000) I feel great, low heart rate, BP is normal.
I saw an explanation of why low-carb diets can cause high cholesterol. It's because the stored-up cholesterol in your organs is being released (that needs to happen). It's temporary.
The system wants us in perpetual ill health, for profit and control.
Or it’s your body returning to its normal levels
Thank you me too
Woow!!!!!!!!
Our doctors, the person that we trust to get us on the right track and meds are potentially making us die sooner than if we did nothing.😔
Well, that is the point of it all. They have been trying to reduce the population the sneakiest way they can.
I don't trust the "experts" about anything.
I started asking myself questions which led me to reading books which led me to the belief that everything our body needs for sustenance is already all around us. No need for lab created food type product.

I am eating 3 pasture raised eggs with organic chicken sausage while watching your video. Thanks for the truth.
I was diagnosed with heart disease in 2023. I have historical trigs being as high as 2.5. My last trigs were 0.5mmol/l I recently was tested for metabolic syndrome and this was tested and found to be insulin sensitive.
My Lipoprotein (a) is high but just over the minimum range. In the last 12 months i have switched to real food and i intentially flatten my glucose by eating high saturated fat diet from animals.
My blood tests show that i have no small dense Lipoprotein and my Cardiologist reckons we may have even reversed blocked Arteries.
THANK YOU! You certainly know what you're talking about and deserve much respect for sharing your expert knowledge with the public.
If people stopped worrying about their cholesterol and saturated fat intake and instead focused on sugar and refined carbs, big pharma would loose a lot of money. Big Agro would loose a lot of money as well.
ABSOLUTELY.

Thank you Dr. Stan, for another great presentation. I have watched many of your informative videos in the past month since I saw my doctor and received an elevated LDL report from my blood work. I am 63 and about 40 pounds overweight, mainly I expect, from the beer I drink and the junk I had been eating. Zero fast food in the past 6 weeks. Doctor wanted to put me on a statin drug which I declined. Since the news of my high LDL, I have discontinued my 2 pickled eggs every morning for the past 18 months, and switched to a small bowl of steel cut oatmeal every morning. I walk my dog twice a day but have gotten back on my treadmill to walk at a brisk pace for 30 minutes 3 mornings every week. I work up a good sweat then jump in the pool, then the shower and off to work. Got rid of the vegetable oils and Pam spray for my cooking hobby, and switched to Chosen Foods avocado oil and cooking spray, plus more EVOO. I cut out most sweets, and replaced with mixed nuts for snacking. Good to know I can bring my beloved pickled eggs back into my diet in moderation. I pickle the eggs with pickled jalapenos, turmeric, onion & garlic powders. I eat a lot of steamed broccoli with butter, salt and pepper, as well as cauliflower, and Romaine & celery salads with chicken for lunch. I love to eat, so portion control is a big challenge for me. I never use any margarine, always butter mixed with EVOO in cooking. Occasionally I will take a tablespoon of EVOO before bed, as I heard that is good for lowering LDL. Hoping these changes in my diet will slowly bring my LDL back in line. I take zero prescribed or over the counter meds. Does it sound to you that I am on a better path now? Thank you again for your great work!
What is EVOO?

@@MartianAmbassador69that's why you're the ambassador 😅
It's why I'm an advocate for reviewing old findings and studies of the past to so called discoveries made from them, as our understanding and research improves more and more with time about given subjects. And with that, making sure for certain these reviews are not cherry picked to favor an agenda for some kind of personal gain.
And just from my own personal health, I eat a lot of eggs. At least 2 to 3 daily and my cholesterol has been fine with my annual blood work
The mistake is to assume we arnt still making the same dumb mistakes. Too many personal interests tied up in reaearcg
Including religion.
unfortunately, most research is controlled exclusively by agenda driving organizations ... i.e. Gov't and Corps. The vast amount of science released to the public the past few decades is either flat out dishonest, or incomplete as a result. We need 3rd party reviews that are completely independent of these organizations in order to get rid of the nonsense. If you need proof that this is the case...look at the medical research studies from the mid-1800's. They already KNEW all of what we're just now re-discovering and it was published. CORP and Gov't suppressed this knowledge for profit.
I live in Korea and I just did the medical preventive visit that you can do every two years. The study from Korea you quoted uses the data from those visits I believe. My husband ended up showing a little bit more cholesterol than "allowed", so this video is reassuring. And for insuline resistance, it was so hard to get it checked. The first clinic where we did the visit straight up refused, saying that it was useless as they were testing fasting blood sugar levels. I insisted but they just refused. I insisted we go to another clinic for additional bloodwork, and there as well they told me that I didn't need it, citing the same reasons. I insisted, saying that my husband's grandfather died from diabetes, and that my own father has it as well, and only then they accepted to do it. It's crazy that I had to go to that extent to receive a service I was willing to pay for. I don't like the fact that I have to justify anything. If I want something and I can pay for it, what is it to you?
So, we can keep on dreaming to have insuline resistance added to that study for now. They are still very reluctant to do those tests. They believe that blood sugar levels are enough.
They refused because you had not fasted before testing ,so it wouldn't be accurate. There are special new machines that will get your A1c levels done without the fast , but most offices don't have them yet.
Same here in Canada. Medical is controlled by big pharma. They want us all on metformin...
Test the A1c, that will give you a very good indication if you have pre-diabetes or not.
It's easier to get body parts removed than it is to try keeping it healthy by monitoring it. Of course there's much more money in that, so we are left with less real preventative care.

👏👏👏👏 We truly need you, Dr. Thank you for everything. You are not only helping us get and stay in shape, but also helping us to become more informed to be both physically AND mentally healthy.
We have drugs - statins - which reduce LDL cholesterol. So if high LDL cholesterol was responsible to heart disease, then statins would have a dramatic effect. You would expect very few or any of those who take statins to get heart disease because you have removed the cause. Actually, statins have a very tiny effect in reducing heart disease in those who have no prior CVD, so there must be something else going on.
Big pharma keeps taking in the $$ though. Standard medicine is no longer about healing , but treating. Studies in last related to nutrition funded and backed by major food corporations who have a financially vested interest in keeping you sick so that drugs can be pushed to "treat" your symptoms. Age 64 here and off ALL 14 meds I was on just 2 yrs ago . NONE of the "advice "from ADA , dieticians or my Dr made me healthy. Eating mostly red meats, eggs bacon and butter....almost zero carb (under 10 g day) and I am healthier, thinner and more energetic than last 20 yrs

@@777Pattie yeah these doctors enjoy practicing but they never become perfect
Your local doctor has been educated in med school to freak out if your cholesterol is above 200. Statins will get that number under 200. Thus, it has become a very idiotic numbers game.
Thank you Dr. Your videos has given me a lot of illumination on how to understand the way my body works and what should I be eating to fix decades of wrong patterns of alimentary conduct. Feeling better each day.
This is great info. There is a Danish study that also concluded that LDL cholesterol and mortality correlation is a bell curve, with the optimal at 3.6 mmol/l or 139 mg/dl. So the 2 studies validate each other.
I'm 73 been eating saturated fat all my life, never had a heart attack or stroke and I'm still here and healthy as far as l know. Most of the above is caused by stress.
Yep, I am proof - got an autoimmune 'attack' (now permanent affliction, better or worse depending on diet/lifestyle, of course) . . .all tricked into action by S T R E S S over the years, and then one final whammy. Pow.

I started eating keto a couple of months ago. I use lots of olive oil and butter, eat eggs and bacon. My cholesterol went down 100 points! My triglycerides dropped significantly also. I was so surprised. My doctor had started to mention statins. I said NO, I'll work on lifestyle changes. I'm sure my doctor was very surprised.
Be careful so the cholesterol doesn't drop too far down!
His cholesterol talk was interesting. I've had high levels all my life. Currently 330. My Doctor was horrified when I saw him years ago. Sorry, no, we don't take meds or any drugs. I hardly ever get sick (last time 1980) am not overweight, BP and other blood tests perfect for a 69 yr old. I have an old traditional 60s diet. Plenty of eggs, cheese, meats, butter, organic dairy, greens, some fruit. To keep the Doc happy, I did take omega3 pills (2gm) daily for a month, which did drop my levels down to 280 but he said 160 was the ideal target. Idiot.
Make yourself happy...not your Dr.
Mine wants be on statins. I had a calcium heart scan test and was at 40.
Proved him wrong and have piece of mind.
I fall into the same category. I have high cholesterol and triglycerides. A few years back I agreed to take a medicine for the triglycerides... long story short the intense muscle pain that I had made me research my docs recommendation and sure enough one of the many side effects of the meds were, MUSCLE PAIN! I quit it that day. The food pyramid is upside down and most doctors I am sad to say are pill pushers who essentially work for the Pharma industry. They know very little about nutrition or holistic medicine. God bless.

Another ACE video explanation Dr Ekberg! Truly, this information should be standard issue to all health establishments ... and that includes the UK's NHS!
Can’t be standard recommendations to health establishments, otherwise big pharmaceutical co.won’t make big business!!?? Poor health = big business
@@martincapalla4348 That's not the case in the UK Health system.
Eating eggs while watching this vid. 😊
Multinational pharmaceutical companies can go away and stop “educating” doctors to prescribe their rubbish chemicals.
Exactly!

5. Daily Meditation routines (as a Meditation Master, we make it Fun and with Intent)
6. Daily Exercise
7. Laugh
I've eaten 2-3 eggs every day for almost 30 years with sliced chicken or turkey and my cholesterol is totally normal. Aside of slight lifestyle changes due to taking a less active day job my numbers almost never moved. I do however try to limit my intake of red meat and processed meats. I tried the almond milk thing etc.. and felt worse...so I went back to whole milk. I cut table sugar out of my daily coffee and usually drink it black. I eat veggies like brussel sprouts, asparagus and egg plant. I go light on the sugary snacks and alcohol. I only use EVO & normal butter. Just sharing my experience..I hope it helps others.
Thank you @a3970010. Sounds like a pretty good plan 😄
me too every morning 4 eggs i learn from Dr Lair Ribeiro from Brazil !!
Informational Video masterpiece...well done! Should be mandatory viewing for all GPs keen to dole out statins.
Best Doc on the interwebs
Absolutely brilliant!
Thank you, so much Dr Eric.
It all makes sense. Especially to me as I am a farmer.
Nice to see you again Dr Sten Ekberg! Du är min landsman har jag läst någon gång 🥰
Thank you! I have been waiting for this video! When someone talls me that it is bad to eat eggs, I ask them about the purpose of the nutrients in an egg. Create life, right?
This man is my hero! He makes so much sense and how he does his own body instead of his patients to “practice” medicine.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
My father is 95, has type 2 Diabetes .... he has been eating eggs every day for years. He shows practically no cognitive decline, his only complaint is that his legs aren't terribly strong now.
May i know what medicine he takes for his diabetes? Is it controlled? I just want to know since my husband is type2 also but taking metformin but still have high blood sugar readings, maybe because of his work facing always with the monitor and maybe stress.
@@rho056 my father was on Metformin, but was changed to insulin injections because the Metformin was affecting his kidney function. His blood sugars are now stable, he tests twice a day... his mood is improved and his apetite is very good. He also takes high blood pressure tablets and statins. Hope this helps.
@@rho056How’s his meals? More meats/eggs? Little or no carbs? IF? Exercising everywhere, “anywhere,” and anytime? Sitting at a desk and moving/stretching his legs? Opportunity to stand and stretch with mild force? Doing these mayn’t need meds at all. But everyone is different. Good luck!
I’m 80 have diabetes . I eat eggs 3-4 times a week with butter ,sometimes 4-5 eggs on my plate . I play scrabble on my iPad and beat the opponent 99% of the time, cards etc . My cognitive skills are better than my kids or my friends . I do multiplication tables in my head daily to test my brain . Refused my Dr. advice into taking a statin to maintain my normal cholesterol level.
@@VagoniusThicketyou sound like me...play scrabble daily, 5 pasture raised egg yolks daily
Absolutely fantastic Dr.Sten Ekberg. Thank you so much for providing with so much of useful information and also about all the preconceived misinformation about CVD . Looking forward to more new findings on CVD.
Eggs are SAFE AS. Graphene jabs are NOT.
You can easily see in blood work, when i went Keto. All my bad number cleared up and went down. I ate cheeses, eggs, bacon, fats, etc....And my health improved at least within all my blood work. Why is it so complicated to understand? check the blood work.
My breakfast is 3 eggs, a large breakfast sausage, half a tomato chopped along with half an avocado chopped and drizzled in lots of olive oil, salt/pepper on that and a slice of buttered rye toast. The fried stuff is fried in butter. When I eat this on a regular basis combined with no beer in the evening I feel effing amazing, and I'm not hungry until around 2 in the afternoon.
Dr Ekberg, your Power Point presentations are top notch! 😊
this video magically pops up right after I got my bloodwork done, and doctor presribed me meds due to high direct cholesterol (199). I was in dismay, because all other numbers were in normal/ideal range (triglicerides, HDL) yet total cholesterol constituted 296. I am 30 years old, never was overwheight but started low-carb due to health excellence and general improvement, never felt better, am eating twice a day and hitting the macros. and when I asked the doc, what could be the reason , she shockingly replied "DUE TO MINDLESS EXPERIMENTS ON SELF". I am on crossroads, don't want to give up my low-carb, since I firmly believe that this type of lifestyle is not only for overwheight people, and can yield health benefits. please tell me if I am wrong, I watched so many vids online with conflicting evidence and views, about LDL and keto and carbs that I am at loss. I weight 65-67 KG almost always, and am 172 height
Get a different doctor.
Find a new doctor, one who isn’t a drug pusher for big pharma.
Years ago I went to the Nathan pritikin Center in Downingtown for 2 weeks. Our blood was tested at the beginning and at the end. I had been eating a high diet prior to going there. The diet there was low-fat Whole Food mostly plant-based with a little fish. They explained how the red and white blood cells are completely replaced in 2 weeks. My cholesterol went down 100 points in two weeks.
@@cindyjames4407Right, but you *need* cholesterol.
Just make sure your proteins have a good source of omega 3's. Fatty fish , eggs, flax seed, olive oil, etc. are good sources of HDL's.
If they can keep us sick they can continue to make money off of us. Customers for life. I'm discussed with our health care system, insurance companies and big pharma. Thank you for all that you do, I just discovered your RUclips channel and love it.
I’ve eaten eggs my entire life, since I was a child, I’m 55 now and have only had two heart attacks!
Dr. Ekberg and Dr. Berg provide great advice. I'm 55 and doing a health tune up as I'm retiring next year. Have dramatically reduced net carbs and increased proteins, yes, including eggs and meat. Also added a tonic of fresh lemon juice 1 Oz, (thanks Costco), a tbsp of apple cider vinegar, and tumeric in 12 Oz of water. Lost 10 lbs and feel great, am losing visceral fat. Of course you have to move too, but diet is key!
Eat egg and be happy/Ät ägg och var glad
Tack Sten!
3 eggs fried in butter, together with full fat creme, has been my morning routine for months now.
It’s always a tasteful & great way to stay full for several hours!
Actually I ate loads of eggs, cream and frozen berries with little bananas. Can not eat grains. I had no triglycerides in measurable amount under 0.57 and entire cholesterol was under 3.5.
I had like a carton of organic eggs a day.
I red a story about a guy, who had loads of eggs and milk and his cholesterol was fine untill he moved into the city eating the same kinds of food. The only difference was the eggs were not organic. He figured out those grocery store eggs had something fundamentally different stuff in them as his cholesterol shoot up untill he switched to organic eggs
I'm almost 62 was diagnosed with high blood pressure 2 years ago 171/101 put on med and full blood tests cholesterol was quite low and normal blood sugar, bit over weight, eat grilled meat and butter eggs every day no interest in sweets snacks or pudding my bp was normal until I got covid feb 2020 before the vaccine yet it was a mild flu illness for me
Hey doc! I was waiting for the holistic video to safely introduce you to my friends. I think this one will do as you gently tackle the cholesterol issue and illustrate it with that game changing nature study. No insuline or keto mechanism but people will have to watch more on their own to find out. Really great job!
👋 Dr Can I add olive oil to the boil eggs
There is too much money to be had if you "fix" our broken bodies instead of not breaking them in the first place.
Diabetes is good for business.
When I asked my girlfriend how she likes her 🥚 eggs, she said. . . Fertilized!
I said. . . My pleasure !😂
😮😛
I hope you become a great dad.
Right - Who is paying for the studies...always spot on, Doctor. I appreciate the science presented!😊
0:00: 🥚 The prevailing belief that cholesterol and saturated fat cause heart disease is based on flawed research and cherry-picked data.
4:41: 🔬 Scientific studies can be biased and influenced by the interests of the entities funding them, leading to a potential distortion of truth.
8:34: 🥚 The speaker discusses the limitations of scientific studies and emphasizes the importance of understanding individual differences in health outcomes.
13:33: 🥚 Eggs do not cause cardiovascular disease as they do not contribute to insulin resistance, oxidative stress, or inflammation.
18:16: 😮 A study conducted in Korea found that low cholesterol levels were associated with a higher risk of death, while cholesterol levels around 230 were found to have the lowest death rate.
22:58: 🔬 The speaker discusses the relationship between cholesterol and death, suggesting that factors such as abdominal obesity and high insulin levels should be taken into account when assessing the impact of cholesterol on mortality.
27:13: 🥚 Making lifestyle changes can help reduce inflammation and improve heart health, but it may not work for everyone.
32:15: 🥚 The speaker emphasizes the importance of understanding metabolic health and factors like insulin toxicity and gut health, rather than focusing on total cholesterol, dietary cholesterol, or saturated fats.

whoa! this is a good and valuable contribution to the understanding of human health! Many thanks! Minister of Health! (whom I wish would be like you)!
If eggs caused heart disease, you would not be reading this comment, because I would be dead.
