    To follow up on the title, I'm not saying you "should not take supplements," but, don't rely on them as in "Well, I could improve the nutrient content of my diet, but my multivitamin has that covered for me so I'm good." Personally I use a few supplements here and there: A magnesium supplement because I suspect the food supply is deficient in this and a Zinc & Copper supplement if I've drank alcohol or did a lot of exercise (both these are all Zinc depleting activities.) I have fish or fish eggs relatively frequently, but if it's been a while without it then I'll take some iodine. Other than that, I have an assortment of supplements that I'll take only if I'm drinking.

    While soybean oil was what was used to reverse the gunshot wounded girl's ailments, I'm not saying you should get your omega-3's from soybean oil. The omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of soybean oil is in fact very poor, but it happened to be good enough to reverse the ailments caused by safflower oil which has an even worse 6:3 ratio.

      Yes, recommended dietary Vit D intake is ~10x too low and Vit D helps to absorb many other nutrients like calcium, phosporous etc. If you want to supplement start with Vit D (and always take that together with K2 so that excess calcium ends up in your bones for storage and not somewhere else).

      @BigMac8000 Před 5 lety +81

      The key is not to "Rely" on them, the wording in the title is very specific. I.e. taking things like Soylent solely might be detrimental despite all their incredible efforts at making a fully nutritional food. You can still take supplements, just be aware of interactions and how certain foods are better delivery mechanisms than supplements.
      Protein and Calcium, for instance, process dependently on one another - so if you're an adult male with a high protein requirement, be careful that calcium will take from your protein. If you take certain vitamins, you might actually deplete another, so balancing out those levels is hard.
      You're right to step back and say, "It's too complex". Nutrition is, and will likely be in our lifetimes, too complicated to properly understand. Nobody knows the secrets yet, it's science in its infancy. There's just too many variables.
      He listed some specific use cases you should be aware of, but you shouldn't eliminate supplementation from your schema trying to simplify it down to 1 rule.
      Here's a great example - I have a kidney disease called IGA-Nephropathy and Celiac Disease (Ceoliac, but I hate that spelling). This isn't a metaphor or example, it's true. I experienced fatigue and excess daytime sleepiness, and many issues. I altered my diet, but it didn't help, I lost weight, it didn't help. I dropped out of college and focused on my health - my blood pressure went up. Finally I altered a vitamin regimen and bam, felt like a real human being again. IGA-Nephropathy and Celiac basically mean if I eat gluten (wheats and bread, basically), my ability to absorb nutrients goes through the floor. By supplementing, I got enough of a burst to know nutrient deficiency was my problem, I took it to my doctor's and finally they figured it out. Even though I'd been off gluten as a measure, the supplements were easier to absorb and made a clear difference and since I'd been struggling with this for years, my system would take 6 months of no gluten to fully heal so I didn't notice much difference getting off. The big ones were melatonin, vitamin D, calcium and a multi. I hit that combination and whammo, instant life.
      I wouldn't have been able to get those as food at the time, because I had a disease nobody could diagnose. It required a kidney biopsy, and doctors don't do that unless they have to.
      So.... supplementing is still important, just learn things like vitamin A, D and C overdosing amounts, protein and calcium interactions, and what individual signs mean (A is actually the easy one to overdose, at about 600%+ of your DV, the others are obtusely hard). If you want to keep it simple - A multi and vitamin D will help you a lot. Vitamin D aids in the transmutation of all these minerals, and we physically can't get enough from sunlight - and your 100% DV only applies if your body leaves that much alone. It's pretty safe to get extra
      Your body is constantly balancing a bunch of scales all at once - getting yourself some basics just helps balance those out. Genetics, diseases, even parasites and bacteria can play a huge role. There's corrolations between gut health and mental health.... it's a zoo.
      So you don't have to write off supplements - just know having "complete" nutrition is still a fantasy in modern science, we haven't figured it out yet. Even eating whole foods 100% of the time and tracking, you are still gonna potentially be incomplete. I would've been wrong since I had a disease - there's more to it than any one institution has figured out.
      Good luck!

    I've learned in the recent past that the following 2 foods each has an unusual amount of most vitamins & minerals : Beef liver (max 30 grams per day to avoid Vit A toxicity) and parsley root (not the same as parsley). I've not been able to lay my hands on parsley root in South Africa though. These two foods can easily be ingested on a daily basis, if combined each day with various other foods for a diet with enough variety to make it practical. Then identify any shortages, and supplement (that's what the name means) your real food with whatever's necessary. I've also learned that toasted seaweed strips have a high amount of trace minerals and folate etc.

    Thank you for another well produced video! We have been bombarded with so much information about vitamins and minerals, and the sheer volume of data can be overwhelming. Sometimes it helps to cut through the myriad of articles on nutrition by using some common sense. We evolved with whole foods, which not only contain our essential vitamins, but also contain other substances, which are inextricably linked to those vitamins. We did NOT evolve with vitamins and minerals in isolation. Hence, it makes sense that these whole foods probably contained substances - some of which we know, and some of which we have yet to discover - which assist in the bioavailabiiity of those nutrients, while also helping mitigate the toxic over consumption of those nutrients.

      There is no need for such a misleading title. That is not even the intention of the video.

      Brazil nuts are ok, but it turns out that they are not a _reliable_ source of selenium since the amount of selenium found in the nuts varies widely depending on the selenium content of the soil in which the trees are grown. It seems that Brazil nut trees will bioaccumulate selenium in their nuts if it is present in the soil, but it isn't really needed by the trees for anything, so they'll grow fine in soils that are selenium deficient. This is one mineral that I think is better to obtain with a supplement (I use selenium yeast tablets -- in these, the selenium gets bound to protein, so bioavailability should be better than with elemental selenium).

    That mineral wheel at 13 minutes is missing a connection from Sodium to Calcium. Sodium intake increases Calcium excretion as the kidneys use it to filter and excrete the excess Sodium.

    Hey WIL, could you make a video about how you do your research?

  • @rickknight3823
    @rickknight3823 Před 5 lety

    fantastic and well detailed research my dear chap.
    So much misinformation out there, you're like the lighthouse guiding all our ships through the rocks.
    Knowing how to create a balance of diet and lifestyle for optimal health seems to be the holy grail here!
    Thanks for all your hard work.

    This is the most explicit video on supplementation I have ever seen, and boy have I seen many.
    I can't thank enough, the individual(s) who made it happen.
    Thank you!

    Thank you. I do take supplements for my workout and performance purpose. But it seems now I have to learn about these supplements in detail.
    Thanks again. As usual, great video.

    I tried every possible b12 supplement and the symptoms of that deficency didn't go away, they did when I restart to eat animal products again

    • @andanssas
      @andanssas Před 5 lety +15

      A B12 supplement pill is hard to be absorbed properly if you don't chew it and let the powder linger in your gum for a while. I've only eaten plant based meals for a while (about 3 years) and I boosted up my B12 levels like this in a few weeks last year from 300 to 900.
