I actually think part of the problem with the Western industrial diet is a lot of the food (that many seem to subsist on) is non-perishable. Non-perishable food is designed for long shelf life. It is devoid of living organic material, particularly microbes. Our microbiota doesn't know what to do with such sterile stuff, I imagine.
Breakfast came about by farmers. They got up super early and did a few chores then came in for a large breakfast before going out to work hard until lunch
Dairy cows are never given antibiotics as prevention or regularly. Why? because you cannot make yoghurt or cheese with milk with the smallest trace of antibiotics. All milk is tested everyday at the point where it is picked up from the farm by the milktanker. If you ( as a farmer) pollute a whole tanker load of milk with antibiotics... you get the book thrown at you. If a cow has to be treated because of infection etc then the milk has to be with held for 3 to 14 days depending on the type of antibiotic used. The treament is expensive and the with holding of milk is expensive, so antibiotics are only used on a strictly needed basis. Apart from that casual comment by Tim the rest seemed good.
I cannot imagine where the professor got the notion that boa constrictors eat pigs from. Even the largest subspecies, the true red tail boas - boa constrictor constrictor - generally are no longer than eight or nine feet, and the largest prey that they take would be a rabbit - and in the wild they are unlikely to feed more than every two months. They do not "fast' during this time: they have a very slow rate of digestion, and very low energy needs, because they are ectothermic, and are generally inactive. The only snakes capable of eating adult pigs are green anacondas and reticulated pythons - the two largest snakes in the world. I found this lecture absolutely fascinating though.
From this amazing presentation is this the best your brain got? mamma mia.. Anyways, boas can grow up to 13 feet long and weigh more than 100 pounds. Their jaws are lined with small, hooked teeth for grabbing and holding prey while they wrap their muscular bodies around their victim, squeezing until it suffocates. Boas will eat almost anything they can catch, including birds, monkeys, and wild pigs. Their jaws can stretch wide to swallow large prey whole.
Is Tim talking about Faecal transplant around timestamp 40. I know people whose ME has been vastly improved with this procedure. It's probably more recognised now 6 years on but expensive privately.
5 yrs after this lecture and still no good way as a consumer to get the flora needed. Also at one time I had a tapeworm so you can get the bad from the garden as well.
Natives anywhere in the world couldn't be vegans or even vegetarians. Look at what is available in the Australain bush to eat, or even the African forest. People would die in no time at all. This is the same no matter where in the world you are. Our supermarket food has been manufactured and wouldn't be found in a native form anywhere. Fruit only grows once a year on any tree or vine so you can't survive on it, it simply isn't there to eat.
Tim Spector would have a point if he could show that consuming fewer calories than needed would make people fatter. Showing that would surely earn him a Nobel prize.
Surely 2 control groups eating the same calories but eating different types of foods and seeing markedly different results is a better experiment. Read the book... The chapter on how they measure calories in food and why it's not a good measure of a foods effects is worth the price on its own.
It's true what he says because what makes you gain weight is all the process food chips candy crackers fast food because that doesn't make you full because you continue to fill hungry so you eat more but when you consume fats you feel fuller im doing that now I eat meat cheese fruits and salads and fish and I have lost seven pounds and I fast some but I doint feel as hungry as I used to. and hes right we do need fat but eating alot of process food and low fat food will make you gain weight.
@@peterburns1153 The point is that he misinterprets what is going on. It is astonishing, because unless the education system in the UK is different, he has been shown exactly what is going on, how to interpret it and how to verify it. But: things are relatively simple at the basis: IF you have an excess of energy, you *will* gain weight. Keep it up for long enough and you *will* become sicker and sicker and eventually die. IF you have an energy deficit, you *will* lose weight. Keep it up for long enough and you *will* become leaner and leaner and eventually become sick and die. The mechanisms are complicated and far from fully understood, but they unimportant, because they do not change the reality of the situation, only the way that reality is expressed.
Tim does get confused when it comes to Autism. There is no link between diet and Autism, also, Autism is not a mental health issue. I wish he would keep away from Autism, but I love his research into food and diet.
Hey, you may not be aware, but there is research being carried out into poo and autism and the findings are suggesting that there is a link. There are some podcasts that were talking about it years ago. Best, Xanthe
@golfpro Autism is not a mental illness or Mental Health issue. It's neurological. Youre also wrong about there being no link between the Gut and the brain.. So Prof Spector is 100% correct.. So shut it, Einstein.
@@NikoHL Shut it? I am autistic and autism is a genetic condition. It is a neurological developmental condition, it's a lifelong disabilty, and you really think a diet will make a difference? I can't beleive anyone could be so naive and gullible as you are. Tim Spector is a pseudoscientist, you are an idiot.
You're right that Autism is not a mental health issue, but there have been many accounts that show how diet can effect the way your brain works. There is so much that we don't know about how the body and brain works, or even what causes autism and aspergers. I say eat well and get the body and brain working as well as we can. There is no silver magic bullet, but many have improved their quality of life by changing their diet. So much we still need to learn! 😉

What diet reverses heart disease?
Go carnivore for the evolutionary appropriate human diet!
@@thalesnemo2841 for heart disease yes!
A whole food plant based diet. Look up Dr Dean Ornish MD
Whole Food Plant Based diet reverses every degenerative disease of Modern Culture.

So how do we just get these probiotics. These supplements are very expensive and having the time to cook the vegetables is prohibitive.
