Can you do an episode on MSG? It might be another topic that has a lot of misinformation in the mainstream.
It's on the list!
@@aragusea MSG: Too Delicious for Human Consumption?
The big thing about msg is that it sometimes gives some people headaches, and one person wrote a article saying that they get headaches each time they eat Chinese food. And it’s sucks because for most people they will be fine. Like I get migraines from BBQ Sauce. You don’t see me bout to write an article saying BBQ Sauce isn’t good. I mean I’d have the entire state of Texas chasing me sooooo...

As a scientist, I love how you consider actual papers and consult experts before explaining the topic. Unseen behaviour on CZcams.
well yes but his information is still uncorrected because he probably doesn't have enough background knowledge to tell when a study or paper is flawed. society has a huge issue with deliberate dietary misinformation and lack of experts since no doctors ever learn nutrition (just one week or something, where they learn only the proven to be wrong guidelines). try finding an expert who understands both nutrition and the biology of the human body plus the necessary chemistry to understand the interactions of substances... yes good luck there probably aren't many people like that

“Saturated fats can raise LDL.”
*throwback to the 2 stick of butter chicken pot pie*
comet ags Exactly what I thought 😂
LDL isn't actually as amazing of an indicator of something like high risk of stroke as once thought. I think the big indicator currently is HDL to triglycerides ratio. A huge number of people on keto will actually have a high LDL, but all other factors of metabolic syndrome and risk of stroke and heart attack improve as evidence by either Jeff Volek's or Stephen Phinney's research. Both might have been involved; I don't quite remember. Eat that butter, fam.
SamuraiBatgirl i will thank you for the wise words
Yeah but flavor though 🍔
I made that one, it was worth all the fat it it.
We must get this man to 1 million subs. Quality content keep up the good work!

"Fat is bad for you"
Made by: sugar squad
This reminds me of when George Carlin pulled out a paper randomly once during a show and said
"Here is a letter from the national pancake institution and it says FUCK WAFFLES."
@@ColonelPatchy1 I love waffles.
Sugar is bad for you
Made by the fat mafia
Refined vegetable oils are bad for you though. As bad as sugar. Never eat refined carbs and also never eat refined oils.
@@snifey7694 made by the mountains of scientific evidence you mean :D
For what it's worth, after dramatically increasing my fat intake using almost exclusively saturated fat, my total cholesterol did go up a fair bit, but the increase in HDL was far higher than the LDL and put it into a healthy ratio for the first time in my life. My triglycerides also fell through the floor, but I believe that was more likely due to cutting almost all carbs, and all sugars.
@Obfu Scate shh! Don’t tell others!
i wonder what the anti-low-carb cult has to say about that.
also consider that you are likely eating less in volume. Most foods that are naturally high in fat are also high in protein which is dense and filling.
Not all fats are created equal in regards to HDL and LDL. Cis fatty acids increase HDL, saturated fats increase LDL, and trans fats both increase LDL and decrease HDL. It’s not always about overall fat consumption, but about which fats.
LDLs are simply HDLs that are arriving at the site to put out the fire of inflammation rather than coming back after
Adam! As a UNC nurse, I was so so stoked to see this! Showing your video to everyone on the unit tonight!
I parked in the hospital garage and had to carry my lights and everything like five blocks to the public health building and then it started pouring rain while i was doing the interview and i couldn't go back to my car for like two hours and none of this is interesting but i just mean to say that i was near your hospital for a very long time and it seemed very impressive
@@aragusea haha, it kind of looks like a hot mess from the outside right now, but we've got a lot of talent and love. Glad to have you around!
You can tell this man is a university professor. Every source he’s ever cited was of a highly credible and extensively researched source. I’m glad for the success Adam has been receiving! He’s played it perfectly. If people in the future want to know how to *correctly* make a living on CZcams, Adam is the standard.
He's a journalist professor in Mercer University.
Coz he really is one...
every university student who studies a science has to provide relevant credible scholarly articles (in the past 10 years). its a big pain.
100% agree. every video this dude makes is ON POINT
Generally you can tell when someone knows what they are talking about when they talk more like "well, it depends perhaps" rather then "this is simple and everyone should do it!!!"
Both of my roommates have suffered from orthorexia (the obsession of eating well and counting every calorie and macronutrient) and have avoided fats and carbs as much as they could to avoid getting fat or ill. Unfortunately, one of them developed an acute form of bowel inflammation, because eating absolutely no fats for a long period of time meant she couldn't absorb many vitamins and it made her ill anyway. Ironically, this meant the only thing she could safely eat without having terrible cramps or worse were mostly fats, the thing the body needed to function, so her cure was a true ketogenic diet (together with targeted anti inflammatory medicine). She's ok now, she can eat a more balanced diet after recovering and is honestly happier than she doesn't count every calorie and type of food.
That's hardcore metabolic rollercoaster 😮
As a new dietetics and nutrition student, I LOVE these informative video formats you do! the interviews with experts i think also helps distinguish your channel from loads of other cooking channels. Thanks!
this gives me big "Alton Brown Good Eats" flashbacks.... i love it
I love that show
@@jackkilroy5556 Good Eats is coming back! www.foodnetwork.com/fn-dish/shows/2019/7/alton-brown-good-eats-the-return

I feel like quite a few of Adams videos are different in message. Alton is anti gmo and believes MSG is harmful, for example, well atleast during the show
Man I gotta tell you, I love how this channel originally started with food and recipes but is now branching off to food science and trying to help us be better. I appreciate what you do man.
It actually started with some random videos and audio tech tutorials and just spontaneously switched to food stuff. Not hating tho, I love his channel's variety and I am ok with whatever content he uploads.
Thanks for showing me real non-biased research on fats markiplier.
Lmao
Great camera angles, credible sources, scientific proof, short and simple, organized editing, a bit of humor. Literally every part of Ragusea’s videos are just perfect
Makes me angry that the low fat, high carb diet is being taught everywhere in school. Misinformation from that smear campaign by the sugar industry has blinded everybody into not eating fats. Wonderful presentation, Adam!
What can I eat instead of lots of refined carbs
Thankfully it seems that philosophy is slowly fading away from schools
Low fat high carb diets DO still have their place for Athletes, bodybuilders, and anyone performing any level of strength training. Why do athletes eat lots of carbs but remain lean? Simple. They need the quick energy burst that only carbs can provide for building muscle and running further. Ask any gym bro on a low-carb or keto diet and he or she will tell you they perform much better when consuming a high-protein high-carb, low-fat diet. I know I do.
But for most sedentary individuals just trying to keep weight off, I would argue a low-carb diet IS superior. You will feel satiated longer, you won’t spike your insulin levels nearly as often, and you will have more consistent energy levels.
One thing we can all widely agree on is the Standard American diet containing a high amount of simple carbs from added sugars is whats causing the obesity pandemic. If Americans as a whole made some marginally more reasonable dietary choices such as swapping out breakfast cereal with eggs or whole wheat toast, replacing desserts with fruit or yogurt, and cut out all sugary drinks, and maybe eating some leafy greens every once in awhile, we would be significantly healthier with only minor changes to our diet. We have a tendency to make make a waaay bigger deal out of an individuals diet than it needs to be for simply staying healthy.
You can be healthy on a high-carb diet. However, you just need to stay away from SIMPLE carbs. Complex carbs found in many foods such as oats, whole wheat bread, brown rice, beans, sweet potatoes and vegetables are all good choices. Simple carbs such as sugars (especially with no fiber) will cause huge blood sugar spikes followed by a crash, and that is what causes type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
@@circletech7745 only at a high level carbs may be good for performance (but not health) and bodybuilders just want to be enormous so of-course they need to eat a lot, a lot of junk food and drugs too but if you want to have lean natural muscles lasting all your life low-carb is the best.
I feel like these Universities must getting sick of Adam asking random food questions by now
Why would they ? Adam provides publicity to the Unis.
@@satoshiketchump I'm joking. I just find it funny that he finds the most over qualified person to answer a random question about cooking
Kieran Calverley while he definitely goes the extra mile to answer these questions - the answers are accurate coming from qualified professionals (the best source out there!) and is definitely something we can appreciate for a CZcams video.
@@juliannemariaprades6714 Don't get me wrong, I love these videos
As a history graduate student (granted its a different discipline than nutrition, but hear me out), a lot of academics like it when people ask them about their fields.
I remember my friends taking the yolk out of the egg and throwing it away. Which I saw as really dumb, particularly when you consider humans have been eating egg yolks since forever.
Facts, literally all of the nutrients are in the yolk
@se fi you go you and he goes his ig, that's pretty much one of the channel mottos
@@galadriel9473 The micronutrients, yes.
@se fi Yeah there's nothing wrong with ditching yolks to make whatever you're adding eggs to more focused towards protein. (Which is probably the all around best macro for me personally)
Fat is fine and good, but just because it is doesn't mean we should eat it at every chance we get. I do the same thing as you for that reason, probably only use half of all eggs with yolks.
If you have high cholesterol and want mainly the protein it's a good idea
"I've got a certified case of dad bod" lmao

@@AS-rh7mg Dad bod is better defined as "30's bod". Men are both getting married and having children either not at all or at later ages.
Around 29-30 there was a distinct slowdown in my metabolism, and the garbage I used to eat with no concern was going straight to my mid-section and back.
I've seen it in most of my male friends in the same age group as well. You have to work even harder to burn accumulated fat, which unfortunately also becomes more difficult as you age.

Carbs are the villian of this huge manga called life!
@@fernandocarlegenda8513 depends entirely on the types of carbs haha. Are you saying carbs that come from quinoa, whole wheat pasta, wild rice, brown rice, and vegetables are bad for you?
@@tobbe3574 yes, as grains still contain starches which get converted to sugar, and long term consumption of them has detrimental health effects. Although the carbs are not the only culprit within them. Grains are not healthy for many other reasons.

@@tobbe3574 honestly man haha, look into it. Not all are obviously but a lot of them are just pointless to eat. Fruit isn't tho.
you look like you are the 1000th clone of Markiplier who got an error while printing
as a fellow layman I feel like what makes Adam's videos great is the academic spirit behind them.
Sure, citing papers is important, but it's equally important to know the tools for critical thinking and being able to parse information based on things like corroboration, suspending belief, and most of all, being aware that you are a lay person.
I'm not saying us lay people have to bow down to scientists, more like not being insecure about now being sure about something, and pursuing things thoroughly enough that you see the various strengths and shortcomings of a variety of hypotheses and theories.
I love science channels, food channels, and fitness channels. This video is awesome! Thanks for doing the interview and research. Great content.
Ah same here! It's so entertaining to watch and end up learning something too!
This is the closest I've seen someone come to good eats and I love it
Carbohydrates naturally come with fiber, which blunts the blood sugar spike. Remove them and you’ve got your spike. Most tests on those ‚simple‘ carbs are done with sugar dissolved in water (think soda). But adding fiber back in can show similar blunting of the blood sugar response. So topping pizza with veggies or having rice with a side salad very much helps blunt the effect. And for some reason cinnamon seems to work too.

I love how the professor has like drawings of his kid hanging by his desk.. weirdly wholesome
I was incredibly confused because I read that sentence as the kids hanging and not the drawings. I think I need to get more sleep XD
My favorite video of yours, by far. This message is so important and needs to be watched by every doctor or nutritionist.
Saturated fats do raise LDL levels, but high LDL levels aren't necessarily a pathology. In older people high LDL levels were a predictor of longer life.
That’s because cancers and diseases that kill older people literally take cholesterol out of their blood. So that correlation is very misleading.

Thank you for helping make this more clear Adam! So many cooking channels seem to think fats are generally bad, and it's highly annoying.
Before the days of Crisco, we had lard. (lard is the fat from pork). Before you judge, it makes the flakiest pie crust, chocolate chip cookies, biscuits, etc. Find it in sticks in grocery and freeze it to keep. It doesn't have much taste, but adds a buttery taste in baking. The human body evolved to use it to its benefit. BTW it is fantastic for deep fat frying, like chicken, or Chef John's onion rings!
No ones judging.
@@Cbd_7ohm LOL
Mmmm
I have a lot of tallow and even some fish fat, so you think they would work too?
@@kaplingnag7267 Mmmm... By tallow I guess you mean suet. That would be perfect for a beef pot pie. The English use it for "plum pudding". Other than that, I have never used it and don't know the taste.
You could try it and use it to fry french fries and see. Fish fat is probably the best thing health wise, but might have an off taste. You know they sell fish oil pills, right?
This channel is "Good Eats" but more down to earth. I adore it.
Can you do a video on salt and pepper like the different salts and different peppers
Those are two totally different things, though. Salt is a mineral, and there is no such thing as different salt, it's just what OTHER stuff is in among the salt that makes it a specific type of salt, or how it was extracted which effects the size of the crystals. Pepper, on the other hand, is from a plant, and there are different color peppercorns with slightly different tastes.
Kariegoz no I mean that the different grain size and different types eg. kosher, pink Himalayan, sea salt etc
And that they’re normally used together
Yes but many people say that some salts are better for you than others. Also peppercorns have piperine which has health benefits so it would be nice to know which variety has higher concentrations.
@@Kariegoz salt can be used to refer to hundreds of different ionic compounds some of which are toxic.
@@dg5450 Himalayan salt is just rock salt from Pakistan iirc.

thank you for shedding light on this we've been lied to so many times by big business who affect the gov't to such an extent that they issued bad advice in the past and even though some of the facts are still out to jury, they seem to be truly being addressed at this time in history. The truth is what I seek without bias from greedy corporations who want you to buy their crap. Adam is a breath of fresh air
CRISCO is short for crystalized cotton seed oil. This was made when the use for the cotton seed oil did not pan out. So Procter and gamble came up with this refined product and heavily marketed it as a healthier choice for lard.
Crisco is great for frying chicken and snickerdoodles sooo
Ironically it's becoming more clear that lard is healthier.
@LagiNaLangAko23 The hydrogenated/processed kind they use in shortening is.
Black people also use it in their hair
@LagiNaLangAko23 It's a highly-processed artificial fat source. There are no RCTs performed on humans that say either way but we do know other like artificial oils such as canola have negative effects on mice. You can make your conclusions from this. I personally stay away from all and every vegetable (seed) oil. I only consume fruit oils such as avocado, coconut and olive long animal sources of fat.
Ahh sugar, so deadly sweet!
What a fantastic way to phrase it.
Sugar is the Trojan Horse of the culinary world
Grass-fed beef has up to six times more heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids than regular grain-fed beef, it's lower in fat overall and is higher in precursors for Vitamin A and E and cancer fighting antioxidants such as GT and SOD activity as compared to grain-fed contemporaries. Eat grass fed.
Oils change when you heat them up too, and not in a good way, best to eat virgin oils that have not been heated up.

Well done mate.
Amazing video...So well researched and well put together. Very informative and useful. Thank you so much for this contribution to the community. As a recent subscriber I'm loving this content.
This video is incredible. Thanks for running your CZcams channel, Adam!
As a former vegan, specifically one who used to follow the high carb low fat diet, I can personally say that one of the best intuitive decisions I’ve made was turning away from that diet and incorporating more healthy fats into my life. Nuts, seeds, fish, and eggs. Never knew how important they were until I cut them out. Always thought fat was the culprit- I fully believed the whole “fat makes you fat” theory. Cutting out fat was detrimental to me for a lot of reasons, but I would say the main symptoms I experienced from eating high carb low fat would be that my hormones were all out of whack, my skin was pale and covered with acne, and my energy levels were nonexistent. If you are eating a low fat diet and not feeling well, I urge you to try to eat more intuitively and add more healthy fats back into your diet. I got to a point where I was getting sick for weeks and months at a time. Simply changing the way I eat has really helped me feel more like myself again 💕 I’m glad you’ve debunked this theory. I hope this video reaches those who need it most
Jesus, I love how well researched your videos are. Incredible quality.
Before the industrial process of mass extracting the oil from vegetable seeds, vegetable oil consumption for the average person was practically non-existent. The majority of the push against saturated fats came from the American Heart Association, which was literally funded by vegetable oil companies. The change from using animal fats to vegetable oils and therefore increased consumption of omega 6 fats also correlate with the increase of cardiovascular diseases and heart attacks. I'm happy that people are waking up from the high-carb based diet recommendations more and more but it's important to remember that company funded research is not something that only happened in the 60's.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this channel man...
Dude, I love your videos. Keep up the great work!
I donno why but I think this channel is different than other cooking channels.. because this channel teach me science and cooking more than just cooking

Wish you discussed also the difference between refined oils and more natural fats like olive oil, butter and lard for example.
Thanks for dropping the fatpill Adam
Fat also takes a lot longer to digest, so it has the benefit of leaving people satiated, where as high carb foods process quick, and then people feel hungry and snack between meals.

No mention of the (potentially) harmful effects of oxidation of polyunsaturated fats when used in high temperature applications like frying?
This also applies to olive oil. It's actually not a frying oil, since its unsaturated fats gets turned into transfats with the same effect as saturated fats at certain levels of heat. Guess Adam isn't as smart as everyone here declares him to be.
@Sheikh_Shaq This video was very basic and he didn't break down the science at all, he just pointed to poorly done epidemiology. I have no doubt the average person is significantly more intelligent than you are.
Put 2 and 2 together, why do countries who consume massive amounts of vegetable seed oils have the highest rates of heart disease?
@BattleEmpoleon He can cite all the epidemiology he wants, at the end of the day they're just surveys. Most people can't even remember what they had for breakfast two days ago. You don't get much randomized clinical trials in nutrition because most experiment ideas are deemed unethical.
Lots of sugar is bad for your liver and can cause insulin resistance so I agree that sugar may be a contributing factor to heart disease considering most people who develop heart disease also insulin resistance. You know what also destroys the mitochondria of the cell and causes insulin resistance and chronic inflammation? High PUFA vegetable seed oils cooked at high temperatures.
@@thevomit5851 is peanut oil okay?
@@james__anna_burns4885 Similar to olive oil, not ideal but much better than vegetable seed oils. You want to avoid oils high in omega-6 Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). I'm sure peanut oil is fine but butter and good quality tallow would be better.
5:01 there’s controversy because it’s plain false. There are no randomized (or even non-randomized) control trials that show ANY harm from saturated fat. In fact, these trials show harm from DECREASING saturated fat by replacing it with non-saturated fat.
LDL is also not bad for you. Once again, there is no quality evidence showing such-and those previous saturated fat trials doubled as cholesterol trials, since lowering SFA lowered LDL and showed higher rates of cancer and no decrease in atherosclerosis.
God, watching this reminds me of when margarine was sold as "the healthy alternative to butter." I'm glad we moved past that, but it's disturbing just how dishonest the food industry can be.
Italians: one bottle of olive oils per day.
Fun fact of the day:
Did you all know that olive isn't actually a good oil to fry in? It is stated as being made out of unsaturated fats, which is true, but those fats actually degenerate at a certain heat level into transfats, which have the same effects on the body as saturated fats to begin with. You might as well be cooking in butter. If you want truly "healthier" oil you need to use vegetable oil or sunflower oil, etc. Olive oil is better used for dousing salads.
Most people apparently don't know this. I only learned about it in a class containing nutrition and chemistry.
@@TheSilverwing999 Nah, sunflower oil contains a very unfavorable ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 acids. Better use some other vegetable oil for high temperature frying like rape seed. And even extra virgin olive oil can be used for frying up to temperatures of 160-180°C or 320-356°F as it contains huge amounts of oleic acid. PUFS usually aren't as heat resistant as saturated fats. The only reason a lot of vegetable oil can be used for high temperature frying is either a high amount of oleic acid or chemical modification
i’m asian but i have an olive oil addiction.
@@TheSilverwing999 I also seem to remember that olive oil has a low smoke point, so it burns at lower temperatures than other vegetable oils and (my favourite) goose fat. Which is not good for high heat cooking.
It so happens that italy has one of the highest life expectancies in the world (so has spain). Throughout Europe everyone kinda agrees that the mediterranean diet is by far the healthiest of all the traditional diets on the continent. Part of that is the olive oil and fish with omega 3. The latter also being very very popular in Japan, the country with the absolute highest life expectancy. So it is a reasonable assumption to make that eating a lot of good fats is very beneficial to your health.

RAGUSEA: FOOD DETECTIVE....
Adam Ragusa + food journalism = infinite rewatchability
markiplier?
LMAOOO FINALLY found the comment I was looking for , the thumbnail brought me to the comments
"Study showing that oily salad dressing enhances nutrient absorption" - A study done with only 12 women (no men) and no control group. Doesn't sound like proper science to me. Also, the only other study related to this that I could find had only 7 participants.
If there was "plenty of evidence", why is there only a few studies with a tiny amount of participants with no control groups?
do you know about water soluble vs fat soluble vitamins
That's more evidence than your side ever came up with.
This Adam Ragusea guy is your typical soy boy dad bod bug man. All he had in this video was poor epidemiology and refused to break down the science behind the fats, he mentioned short chains and long chains and that's it, probably has a very primitive understanding. Anyone who has researched the subject knows that vegetable seed oils are the main culprit behind heart disease, not LDL cholesterol. Vegetable seed oils cooked at high temperatures are some of the most inflammatory things you can put in your body and also damage the cells which leads to insulin resistance. It's no surprise that countries with the highest rates of heart disease consume massive amounts of PUFA's.

That shot matched that SOT on the African-Americans vs. those of European origin and I APPRECIATE THAT.
What does SOT stand for?
"Those of European origin" instead of "European Americans". Is that a hard to swallow pill?
Legend says Adam moves every sentence..
this is fantastic, actual research in a popular youtube video! I love Adam's commitment to presenting the facts as they stand rather than editorialising or simplifying it. Can we get this but for, like, every area of academia?

Taking my MCAT in under a month. This is actually going to help me remember some biochem concepts a lot better haha.
how did it go homie?
Did you pass bro?
the suggestion in the video was to pick up an omega-3 supplement if your diet isn't necessarily rich in fish, but data elsewhere has suggested that a lot of dietary supplements are either ineffective as a delivery mechanism or don't even contain the amounts of the nutrient they're supposed to have. Do we have a pretty good list or method of testing which omega-3 supplements might actually be worth it?
I recently found your videos and I'm loving them. I didn't want to watch this particular video because I thought it was going to be an ode to keto, saying things like you should worry more about the sugar in carrots than the calories in butter. I'm glad I watched it because I feel you provided clear, thorough information and a "moderation is best" approach. I won't be missing any video from now on.
Omg he mentioned chapel Hill as a north carolinien I love this
