I really am impressed with the plant Doctor. He is the only one opening up chests and looking at hearts (as far as I can tell). He didn't get enough air time. He's confident in his theory. Non showy. I'm going with him!
But a little bit of plaque doesn't mean you're not healthy, it can be perfectly mormal, at the end of the day you have to live a happy life you enjoy living every day and if that includes a diet that brings you happiness so what if you die a few years younger due to a little plaque. You lived a full life. We not trying not min max here. Okinawan may live the longest but they are simply living based on their environment. You suddenly jumping into their lifestyle and culture and environment may make you go crazy so you really can't isolate a diet from it's context and say that's the best
There are plenty of cardiologists who disagree with what Joel Kahn is saying. Read into the literature, watch some of the documentaries on CZcams, and you'll hear about doctors who have spent their life looking into hearts, as Dr Kahn has, and come to completely different conclusions.
Yes frank.eating a no fat no dairy no meat nearly killed me after 15 years I wouldn't touch fat.I was chronically sick and turned to berries nuts vegatables.i met somebody thank God who ate fat and oil butter meat with no moral difficulty slowly helped me to begin to eat fat again butter cream bone broth proper gravy chicken lamb,coconut oil ,lots of olive oil saved my life.
Not really. He repeatedly used the word "associations". Associations are not causation. Unfortunately the majority of nutrition science is association based, not causation based.
@@dawnlorraineskincare Unfortunately as M.D. researching diabetes myself, dr. Joel's "veganism" is clouding his science/bias; so far it's "animal life/environmental" >>> "actual nutritional data/human health outcomes". He demonizes saturated fat (even plant ones)/animal protein as causing heart disease/diabetes.. which honestly with current data.. is unlikely since a quick search on wiki "insulin index" finds that starchy/sugary high GI carbs are the cause. Logically it doesn't make sense either.. if that were true then most of our dogs/cats (mostly meat eats) should be diabetic/obese. And if you look at "frugivore/herbivore" animals they mostly eat grass, whole fruits/nuts/roots (low glycemic load).. not potato, white bread, pasta/spaghetti, grains (high GI/load).
@@ylonmc2 I did, a long with the gang of vegan doctors I look up to. (dr. John McDougall, dr. Joel Kahn, dr. Michael Greger/nutritionfacts) I admit I don't know it all, but I read their studies/citations and found errors. Some I agree, but most of them dissociate over-consumption carbohydrates from causing insulin resistance. I will still look them up, they may change their studies or not; but for the mean time their studies are still confounding.
I always love panels because you get a more nuanced view. It's sad that such a great presentation of information is still plagued with comments from people looking only to deepen their preconceived notions.
Great discussion! Seems everybody is different, one diet lifestyle won't fit all. People have autoimmune diseases and must follow what makes them better, sometimes it's plant based, sometimes it's Paleo.. Not as simple as just everyone follow the same thing.
Very spirited and balanced debate ! I love they mentionned Inuits, who traditionnally ate 90% meat and 10% fat, no vegetable at all, and had no health problems ! I'm vegetarian, but it's an example I use to show that different people have adapted to different diets, some are fine with diary, some not, others are 100% vegetarians like Jains in India, who don't eat anything coming from an animal... The point being that you have to find what diet is best for you, and it may vary with age !
Mummified remains of Eskimos/Inuits dating back 2,000 years have shown extensive hardening of the arteries throughout their brains, hearts and limbs; as a direct consequence of following a carnivorous diet of birds, caribou, seals, walrus, polar bears, whales, and fish. The June 1987 issue of National Geographic magazine carried an article about two Eskimo women, one in her twenties and the other in her forties, frozen for five centuries in a tomb of ice. When discovered and medically examined they both showed signs of severe osteoporosis and also suffered extensive atherosclerosis, “probably the result of a heavy diet of whale and seal blubber. Alaskan Eskimos older than age 40 have been found to have a 10% to 15% greater deficit in bone mineral density compared to Caucasians in the US. This research published in 1974 on 107 elderly people concluded, “Aging bone loss, which occurs in many populations, has an earlier onset and greater intensity in the Eskimos. Protein, especially animal protein, consumed in excess of our needs places serious burdens on the body. The liver and kidneys work hard to process the excess protein and excrete its byproducts along with the urine. As a result of this extra work, Eskimos have been reported to have an enlarged liver while living on meat, and to produce larger than average volumes of urine in order to excrete the byproducts of protein metabolism. There is a major difference between eating to survive a harsh envionment and having a choice what in what you can eat. The definition of veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose. In summary, Eskimos or “Inuits” are extremely small subcultures and their life expectancy is much less, even 10 years less than all of Canada. We cannot compare them to modern day society where we have the choice of what to eat.
Amphetamines make me feel good, that is why they are such a huge part of my diet. How you feel is a very stupid way to guide the way you eat (despite knowing what he means). As my nutritional biologist teacher used to say, the strongest plants are not those you leave alone and untouched, trimming actually makes a plant stronger. The cardiologist was by far the most agreeable, due to being the most strictly scientific.
Great discussion! I completely agree with what Dr. Lipman said about dietary fat. It's really the processed foods, carbs, and sugar that are the biggest problem for most people.
This is awesome finally our trusted and learned friends, sit down and are civil to each other with the common goal of educating the common layman on what to avoid... I would love for the topic of what steps obese people should take.
+zxy atiywariii The funny thing is, this "scare" if you even want to call it that, doesn't work...there is no scare. You know what we actually do in western medicine, PILLS FOR EVERYTHING!
zxy atiywariii I apologize...let me put more of an emphasizes on my message here."there is no scare(of saturated fats)" I really think, people either don't give a fuck about their health here in america, or they're just so blundered with our shitty healthcare system. Doctors here are trained to fix acute injuries, not chronic injuries. Why? Because with something like a broken arm...it's not an ongoing problem, you either fix it and treat it, or don't. As compared to a chronic injuries or illnesses, you have this ongoing persistent problem. "Your arteries are clogging...here take these pills!" "But doctor....what causes this?" "We don't know (we weren't trained to know)...so here please take these pills, or else your risk of dying will increase dramatically." It's a scam.
Maui Komite Good point. I've read enough studies to know that well conducted studies rarely contradict. Other studies explain why some studies appear to contradict. All in all, we have a massive pile of data which should be enough to make proper recommendations, if someone is willing to spend enough time on it. Personally, I think vegan keto is probably the healthiest diet. High carb low fat diets also appear beneficial, and are easier to do.
Maui Komite What he is referring to the the massive amount of junk science that exists due to the corrupting influence of money, careerism, political correctness, arrogance, etc. In other words when humans take up science they so often screw it up, because what they so frequently do is not real science, but science propaganda that serves an agenda.
Well, when you are in and out of hospitals and the doctors tell you that there are "no studies" and to eat whatever you want and take pills, it's doctors like this that have my respect. As he said, he see's people again and again do better when they go without it, so don't knock it until you try it. Not everyone is going to react the same to one diet which was the whole first part of the video!
+Lysander Dusseljee But then we have studies that are sponsored by the meat industry, dairy industry or any other business, that do pick out only parts that promote their products. So I agree with Lipman's take on biases in science. But yeah Kahn slays it :D
I really liked this debate and hearing many different sides of nutrition. We are all so different and what diet may work for one person may not work for another as admitted in the case of Dr. Joel Kahn's son. In a PERFECT world where everyone can eat the same foods, live in the same paradise where there is no stress, we can all be healthy. Great debate!
Excellent discussion with a refreshingly friendly tone, especially final comments. Thanks to all 3 docs for acknowledging that there is still a lot we don't know, and that there is a lot of overlap in their message. WFPB diet works great for me, but realize it's not for everyone & science continues to evolve. It comes back to those famous 8 words: "eat real food, mostly plants, not too much". And I would add..."and get on with your life"...
I love how they just sort of nod along when it's somebody else's turn to speak. I bet they are all internally screaming throughout the whole thing. Especially Dr. Kahn.
mrbonzzai that’s the issue with Kahn, he’s smart but too much of a good heart, I don’t know how he can be so agreeable, sure it makes for a good person but come on Kahn get mad, you’re here to help people’s health not to win a popularity contest, IMO it would help more people if you were more aggressive
Dr. Lipman told Dr. Kahn not to cherry pick and cite studies because 'science is always changing' but the first argument he made in minute 2 is all about how the latest research proves his point.
When he says I remove my patients from gluten.. Does he have patients that eat pure gluten? No they probably eat muffins, white bread and croissants and when they quit gluten, they probably don't just stop gluten they stop processed foods..
1) Real, whole food 2) Mostly plant-based (over 90% of your calories from plant sources), making sure to get an abundance of fruits and vegetables, with lesser amounts of nuts, seeds, grains, and legumes. The end. It's not that complicated.
I loved this, especially liked what Hyman and Kahn had to say. It's definitely a strategic move to put Hyman in the middle because he was a sort of a mediator. Maybe he's a Libran? Hehe
I was raised on meat and 3 veg dinners, as well as pasta often. I’ve since learned that the meat, gluten and dairy has caused me to be very unwell. I almost lost my life 3 times over the years. Since cutting out red meat, gluten , dairy and actually almost all meat, bar chicken (in very small amounts), fish also in small amounts, my health has improved. I don’t trust packaged foods information. I truly believe there’s more additives than are listed. Only today I learned that most pizza places sell pizza advertised as “Ham” but following testing some 25 different pizzas from 25 different places in a 3 mile radius, found the so called “Ham” turned out to be “Turkey” in 23 out of the 25! Still believe what you see on the menu???! You’re all being misled 😢😢😢
fun video. These docs all look pretty healthy so they should just keep up what they're doing. I'm with Dr. Hyman - his eating plan works best for me and is the easiest. I do think people should avoid eating as much unhealthy feedlot meat as possible. Heterocyclamines are in heated animal fat. People cook food at too high temperature. People should avoid foods like toast and crackers as they contain acrylamides from the high heat. There's nothing like grass-fed meat baked in the oven - the smoke point for each fat is key.
fantastic discussion!..wonderful docs,.clear direct nutrition info..based on measurable outcomes..funny..clever & caring..food IS medicine..easy to follow and followup disparate views..many thnx,.joe
And the question of the best diet will never be completely solved because everyone is soo diverse, with different genetics and different environments. However with common sense and by understanding natural law, we can all get healthier and heal our body. Great video.
All human beings are 99.9 percent identical in their genetic makeup (the human genome). We are more alike than diverse. Members of the same species generally get the nutrients they need from a similar type of diet. The physicians agreed more than they disagreed though, that a whole foods plant-based diet is best, which minimizes processed food and refined sugar; they just disagreed on the amount of fat, and the idea of whether gluten is harmful (although what Dr Kahn said about these concepts is the most supported by research).
+beyamama total logical fallacy on your part first of all... second of all mark looks happiest to me and i tend to agree with him, most likely just a case of confirmation bias.
He said he was on the Mediterranean diet and was afraid of fats. Fun fact, Mediterranean diet is all for healthy fats. Olive oil, nuts, fatty fish, etc.
I used to think I was gluten intolerant and always felt better when I removed gluten from my diet... then I realised it wasn’t gluten that was the problem but rather processed grains versus whole grains that was causing my feelings of fatigue. Also I found that increasing my fibre content by eating 3 servings of fruit, veggies, beans and whole grains actually fixed my ‘gluten’ issue. I’m wondering if this is a similar issue that people are experiencing?

+Chad Warren Oh, I dunno. Just that the Cardiologist alone has ripped open a heart and seen first hand what foods and diet changes have done to them. ;)
Oh...I was glad to see this video. I've been low fat Vegan for 7 months. It's done a lot for my blood pressure and many other things related to my heart. I did lose some muscle unfortunately as I dropped weight a bit too quickly. I'm thinking about moving to Paleo-vegan...for awhile, and just see how it goes. The healthy fat addition through a few walnuts would be nice...and a slight increase in protein I believe may help me retrieve that lost muscle along with resistance work in the gym. But it was nice to see these talented guys hash it out for us. Thank you.
Saturated fat is harmful, but there's no reason for a vegan to shy away from healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats found in olive oil, nuts and seeds. Having plenty of plant proteins (legumes, soya, even whole-grains like quinoa) is great too. If you have a diet low in saturated fat, sugar and refined carbohydrates, then everything will fall into place.
Joel Kahn you're incredible, thank you!!! And thanks for mentioning animal welfare. I love that veganism is not just about you as a person - you keep the whole planet in mind.
Soul in the Raw In my opinion plant is same as animals and same as human. Plants have a complex organ to process and digest their food. So if you dont eat meat you must not eat fish. And if you dont eat fish you must not eat plants.
Animal welfare can be included in a meat based diet too. And actually he is very misinformed. Pasteur raised, grass fed ruminant animals restore soil health which has massive carbon sequestration capacity, more than rainforests, and promotes biodiversity.
So did the Masai, all while eating the cleanest animal products available: ATHEROSCLEROSIS IN THE MASAI American Journal of Epidemiology, Volume 95, Issue 1, 1 January 1972, Pages 26-37 academic.oup.com/aje/article-abstract/95/1/26/167903 The hearts and aortae of 50 Masai men were collected at autopsy. These pastoral people are exceptionally active and fit and they consume diets of milk and meat. The intake of animal fat exceeds that of American men. Measurements of the aorta showed extensive atherosclerosis with lipid infiltration and fibrous changes but very few complicated lesions. The coronary arteries showed intimal thickening by atherosclerosis which equaled that of old U.S. men. The Masai vessels enlarge with age to more than compensate for this disease. It is speculated that the Masai are protected from their atherosclerosis by physical fitness which causes their coronary vessels to be capacious.
I can attest to what Dr. Hyman was describing with the difference in wheat. As an American who developed a wheat intolerance I was worried about moving to Italy (hello, pasta central!). Never had an issue. I don't think you can prescribe a certain diet for most people. Basics aside, i.e., eating whole foods, there are different factors that influence health. Amount of stress and exercise. Environment... Before moving to Laos, I was healthy. I rarely ate processed foods (occasional fast foods, sweets, etc.). I did eat meats and animal fats. I led an active outdoor lifestyle - climber, hiker, biker. Casual yoga practitioner. I had low stress levels. I lived in the mountains. Never took the flu vaccination and even when exposed to people who developed the flu didn't get sick, or any medication for that matter. Only pills I took were vitamins. My numbers after checkups were always good... Now, after having lived in Laos for 4 years now, I'm seriously concerned about my health. I think I am the victim of a perfect storm - antibiotics every year (one year even twice), high stress, toxic environment, and due to low levels of energy as a result of getting sick, little to no exercise... To sum it up, I don't think diet should be an isolated discussion. Funny how the comments section is dominated by vegans.
great idea and group ....... its easy to disagree and have a laugh doing it knowing its not 1 opinion lecturing at us as the only way to be healthy.. great dialoge APPROACH!!!!
Why no captions? I am deaf and I need captions, in order to really grasp all that's being said. There is now a law in place, that states that all videos must be captioned!!! Why no captions?
You should have brought Dc John Mcdougal or Dc T. Collin Campbell! I'd rather be listening to them and learning from those like mind legends! :) eating plant based diet/ high Carb, low fat..has been showing its advantages in reversing diseases! i can't believe those doctors are still talking about animal products!!!
***** Maybe You should open up your mind lady....You want to get rid of diabetes without medicine in the most ethical and humane way? Read Dr. Neal Barnard's book....keep on keepin on shyrine!!!
***** T. Collin Campbell's China Study or Dr. Esselstyn flawed!?!?! Bring forth your typical nonsensical study....Get your head out of your ass lady... eat some veggies
I eat a whole food diet and go through phases of eating meat/ eggs but it never lasts long. Been feeling very confused and this video just confirmed no one knows the perfect diet hahaha follow your instincts unless it leads you to processed shit 😀
Dr. Kahn at least is an academic practitioner. Has Dr. Lipman ever been published in a peer reviewed medical journal or just Random House? Buy PR, become a celebrity, dupe patients.
Excellent debate; it clarifies key issues and offers insight as to options for actionable courses of action. As a dietary "centrist" I welcome such a discussion so that each person can make more informed decisions appropriate to their unique lifestyle. I will insert this one sidelight on the Okinawans: the study of island biogeography shows us that adptation rates can be very high in closed gene pools in specialized environments. It would make sense that they might be more adapted to an agricultural diet and lifestyle than the rest of us, just as speciation occurs much faster on islands with the right set of influences (going back to Darwin's finches, etc.). It would be interesting to do more genetic research around this topic with regards to their diet, metabolism, etc..
Mark Hyman makes the most sense. Whole food plant BASED, plus some meat. Low on the beans and grains. No sugar and processed foods, no crappy seed oils (which are heavily processed).
I have read Dr. Hyman's book, "Eat Fat Get Thin." He recommends mostly plant based fats such as avocados, nuts, seeds, coconut, and such. Yes he does say eat eggs but not to excess. (I don't; they are proven to raise TMAO in the blood) I can say one thing....after I read the book I started eating about an ounce and a half of mixed nuts and seeds with breakfast, and honestly have felt better. What's in the mixture: walnuts, almonds, pecans, pistachios, and seeds: chia, pumpkin, sunflower and hemp. This will always be a part of my diet. But no more fat than that if I can help it. However: except for that I continue a plant based balanced diet. Good low glycemic load carbs, good fat and good (plant) protein. We do NOT, NOT, NOT need animal protein or animal anything to maintain good health. A video clip of Dr. Hyman shows him raving about lamb, but best I recall the book does not push animal fat at all and is not true "Paleo." Look at the cover picture, it explains it all. The only animal foods he recommends are grass fed and not feed lot fed. His website says he's a "Paleo-Vegan (Pegan)." drhyman.com/blog/2014/11/07/pegan-paleo-vegan/ I think we need a wonderful balance in our foods, but I am determined that we do NOT need animal foods. He pushes protein but he is misguided in that vegetable proteins are not only more than adequate, they ensure good health. Look at an elephant- it does not consume animal protein. We don't need fish either. For a thousand years my ancestors in India never saw a fish on their dinner tables; nothing that walks, swims or flies. And they were wonderfully healthy until the onset of highly processed foods. Then their health started deteriorating. Flour of all kinds especially, as Dr. Hyman says. I agree with him entirely on that. However, current medical trends are towards a plant based, whole foods (no processed carbs or processed fats) diet...the kind of diet that saved Bill Clinton. I am an MDVIP Internist and do study a great deal about diet and health.
> ... eat eggs but not to excess. (I don't; they are proven to raise TMAO in the blood) If a person is following a plant based diet (thus has a less pathogenic gut flora), does the occasional consumption of eggs result in the production of any significant amount of TMAO?
"Everybody is genetically different" So different foods may affect may people in different ways. There are good carboyhydrates and bad carbohydrates. Avoid processed carbohydrates! There is no one correct diet for everyone so everyone please get off your high horse and take that into consideration.
A plant-based diet is a fast track to insulin resistance for lots of people. I tried it and it didn't work for me. Grass-fed meats, pastured eggs (not soy fed), wild caught fish, gluten-free grains, potatoes, rice, veg's, a little fruit. That's what works for me. If you feel tired after eating a high carb meal, then it's probably time to look at your diet more carefully.
The best way to take your coffee is black, organic light roast and in the rear. I know it sounds strange but Coffee enemas are a powerful way to detox the liver and raise glutathione levels. One coffee enema a day for a week and you will notice how amazing you feel and how your skin begins to glow. That said, a high nutrient diet is always the foundation for good health and for a person to not just survive but thrive.
You are correct. For hundreds of thousands of years human beings have been squirting this magical juice up their assholes to receive the blessings of nature's first bidet. Biologists for centuries thought of the anus as merely an exit for solid waste, and an occasional entry for sex, but the real biological reason we have a butthole is to put coffee in it. Sound logic there bud.
I'd argue that we have taken ourselves long ago out of the environment in every other way, I mean we live in civilization far away from nature. It doesn't make sense to argue that we should keep consuming animals like other animals do, especially when no other animal is consuming us. As to what he said about gluten, I am not knowledgeable about gluten, but Kahn quoted studies that include large populations. Frank Lipman's argument was based on the patients that visit him. This tiny population of people who come to him feeling sick in not inclusive of all the other people who are doing well with gluten, and which form a far bigger part of society. My point is: he can't draw out conclusions from this point, because the people are only visiting him because they're sick in the first place. He didn't experiment on healthy people.
"im not going to wait for science to confirm what i know is true" i understand it but then again i think its arrogant and dangerous because he's advising patients with that mindset. these are ppl's lives their touting about and with the exception of the plant based doctor on the right, these doctors are the reason i dont trust physician advice about nutrition. i think the mysticism of the medical profession has died off and now we see the health industry (with doctors at the helm) for what it is; a flawed, opinionated, self-interested, money driven industry. Do your research and choose the diet that best promotes health and wellness within you.
Its disappointing to read some of these comments. I thought the panelists had great points based on a lot of experience, research, and knowledge. The fact is, we don't know which diet is "best", so all these commenters on their high horses have no actual information to back themselves up with. Why is it so hard for us to respect other people's lifestyles and have a civilized discussion, just like these guys did on the panel?
I agree with Joel Kahn that we need to train doctors that food is medicine. The problem is right there on the stage. These are all doctors who can't agree WHICH food is medicine. Kahn is not advocating for what he speaks. As soon as you bring morality into the equation, the food as medicine line is just that, a line. Science can decipher what food is medicine. Morality is opinion and will always muddy the waters.
Graham's 80/10/10 diet is severely deficient in many nutrients found in plants and animal fats. I cringe when people promote that macro nutrient ratio since I became severely sick on a low fat vegan diet of fruits, veg and 'whole grains'. I have highlighted all the deficiencies of these low fat vegan diets in a Chapter in my eBook entitled "Why I quit veganism"
I saw your video - Its ridiculous! Wen't to see your eBook - It doesn't exist! Went to your website - Got redirected to spam! YOU'VE BEEN SPRUNG TROLL!!!!!!
I'm from Singapore and the health authorities is doing the right thing by imposing punitive action on cigarette smoking and sugar consumption. But the doctors are still behind time when it comes to cholesterol. Cardiologists are telling people on TV that cholesterol in the diet is the cause of coronary heart disease and that people should take statins to lower cholesterol.
In the Phillippe during Spanish era. Filipinos have average of 90 years living. Before we eat rice and meat and vegetable. But that time most people are healthy. But after the American colonization. Filipino adapted the American culture of eating. Introducing sodas and junk foods. Now new generation of Filipino life expectancy is 75 years old.
Another thing....when you ask YOUR doctor....whether or not they believe in nutrition...if they have no opinion....or say NO.....run.....RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN.
I don't think the approaches here are so similar to each other for the average person. I mean one says no grains at all, the other one says lots of grains is good.
The Okinawa health has been damaged by American military bases there, introducing American Fast Food. The younger Okinawans are lured by American style food and establishments.
These guys need to read each others books at least 2 times before they discuss food. They do agree on a great deal and I think that is where healing is found. Eat REAL unprocessed food and as Michael Pollan said, "Eat Food, not too much, mostly plants"..
Why can't you guys do the first comprehensive study where you take 2 or 3 groups of each of pre diabetics, type 2 diabetics, people with clogged arteries etc etc and long term experiment with their diet? Same (low) level of exercise, then add exercise - ie examine the effects of every component - inflammatory foods, fats, flour, sugar sources etc
Each dr, particularly the paleo drs are overly concerned about offending each other. The reassurance and group hugs are over the top, detracting from the 'debate' with missed opportunities to provide thought provoking or additional data. How many times did they need to hug each other and stress that they agree with most things?
I appreciate that these doctors were all so respectful towards each other.
All three diet approaches have one thing in common they promote real foods not processed foods.
bighands69 obviously and meat isn't real food it's decaying flesh
And they stay away from added sugar.
coconut oil is a highly processed food.
plants are the same
eliminate processed foods and sugars and your always on your way to health
Enjoyed this talk and the different perspectives. Main takeaway, "eat real food. As close to nature as possible."
I really am impressed with the plant Doctor. He is the only one opening up chests and looking at hearts (as far as I can tell). He didn't get enough air time. He's confident in his theory. Non showy. I'm going with him!
Agreed
But a little bit of plaque doesn't mean you're not healthy, it can be perfectly mormal, at the end of the day you have to live a happy life you enjoy living every day and if that includes a diet that brings you happiness so what if you die a few years younger due to a little plaque. You lived a full life. We not trying not min max here. Okinawan may live the longest but they are simply living based on their environment. You suddenly jumping into their lifestyle and culture and environment may make you go crazy so you really can't isolate a diet from it's context and say that's the best

I will still look them up, they may change their studies or not; but for the mean time their studies are still confounding.
@@blissrunner people detoriate on veganism
I always love panels because you get a more nuanced view. It's sad that such a great presentation of information is still plagued with comments from people looking only to deepen their preconceived notions.
“I don’t give a shit about science.” Now that’s a doctor you can trust.
Great discussion! Seems everybody is different, one diet lifestyle won't fit all. People have autoimmune diseases and must follow what makes them better, sometimes it's plant based, sometimes it's Paleo.. Not as simple as just everyone follow the same thing.
Very true
Very spirited and balanced debate ! I love they mentionned Inuits, who traditionnally ate 90% meat and 10% fat, no vegetable at all, and had no health problems ! I'm vegetarian, but it's an example I use to show that different people have adapted to different diets, some are fine with diary, some not, others are 100% vegetarians like Jains in India, who don't eat anything coming from an animal... The point being that you have to find what diet is best for you, and it may vary with age !
Great comment
Mummified remains of Eskimos/Inuits dating back 2,000 years have shown extensive hardening of the arteries throughout their brains, hearts and limbs; as a direct consequence of following a carnivorous diet of birds, caribou, seals, walrus, polar bears, whales, and fish. The June 1987 issue of National Geographic magazine carried an article about two Eskimo women, one in her twenties and the other in her forties, frozen for five centuries in a tomb of ice. When discovered and medically examined they both showed signs of severe osteoporosis and also suffered extensive atherosclerosis, “probably the result of a heavy diet of whale and seal blubber.
Alaskan Eskimos older than age 40 have been found to have a 10% to 15% greater deficit in bone mineral density compared to Caucasians in the US. This research published in 1974 on 107 elderly people concluded, “Aging bone loss, which occurs in many populations, has an earlier onset and greater intensity in the Eskimos.
Protein, especially animal protein, consumed in excess of our needs places serious burdens on the body. The liver and kidneys work hard to process the excess protein and excrete its byproducts along with the urine. As a result of this extra work, Eskimos have been reported to have an enlarged liver while living on meat, and to produce larger than average volumes of urine in order to excrete the byproducts of protein metabolism.
There is a major difference between eating to survive a harsh envionment and having a choice what in what you can eat. The definition of veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose.
In summary, Eskimos or “Inuits” are extremely small subcultures and their life expectancy is much less, even 10 years less than all of Canada. We cannot compare them to modern day society where we have the choice of what to eat.
Amphetamines make me feel good, that is why they are such a huge part of my diet. How you feel is a very stupid way to guide the way you eat (despite knowing what he means). As my nutritional biologist teacher used to say, the strongest plants are not those you leave alone and untouched, trimming actually makes a plant stronger. The cardiologist was by far the most agreeable, due to being the most strictly scientific.
This was fun, on Dr Hyman's side all the way
Great discussion! I completely agree with what Dr. Lipman said about dietary fat. It's really the processed foods, carbs, and sugar that are the biggest problem for most people.
This is awesome finally our trusted and learned friends, sit down and are civil to each other with the common goal of educating the common layman on what to avoid... I would love for the topic of what steps obese people should take.
11:28 "It's what we do in Western medicine: we scare the shit outta people." 😳 So true!
+zxy atiywariii How else are they gonna make money?
+zxy atiywariii
The funny thing is, this "scare" if you even want to call it that, doesn't work...there is no scare.
You know what we actually do in western medicine, PILLS FOR EVERYTHING!
+FireSnakeZero +Z-Scart Exactly!
zxy atiywariii
I apologize...let me put more of an emphasizes on my message here."there is no scare(of saturated fats)"
I really think, people either don't give a fuck about their health here in america, or they're just so blundered with our shitty healthcare system.
Doctors here are trained to fix acute injuries, not chronic injuries. Why? Because with something like a broken arm...it's not an ongoing problem, you either fix it and treat it, or don't. As compared to a chronic injuries or illnesses, you have this ongoing persistent problem.
"Your arteries are clogging...here take these pills!"
"But doctor....what causes this?"
"We don't know (we weren't trained to know)...so here please take these pills, or else your risk of dying will increase dramatically."
It's a scam.
YES, Dr. Kahn. You rock.
I'm not sure is anyone should go to a doctor who says 'i don't give a shit about the science.'
Maui Komite Good point. I've read enough studies to know that well conducted studies rarely contradict. Other studies explain why some studies appear to contradict.
All in all, we have a massive pile of data which should be enough to make proper recommendations, if someone is willing to spend enough time on it.
Personally, I think vegan keto is probably the healthiest diet. High carb low fat diets also appear beneficial, and are easier to do.
Maui Komite What he is referring to the the massive amount of junk science that exists due to the corrupting influence of money, careerism, political correctness, arrogance, etc. In other words when humans take up science they so often screw it up, because what they so frequently do is not real science, but science propaganda that serves an agenda.
Well, when you are in and out of hospitals and the doctors tell you that there are "no studies" and to eat whatever you want and take pills, it's doctors like this that have my respect. As he said, he see's people again and again do better when they go without it, so don't knock it until you try it. Not everyone is going to react the same to one diet which was the whole first part of the video!
+Lysander Dusseljee But then we have studies that are sponsored by the meat industry, dairy industry or any other business, that do pick out only parts that promote their products. So I agree with Lipman's take on biases in science. But yeah Kahn slays it :D
Maristella Witt science IS biased. However, it should be the job of doctors to sort through the data and debate amongst each other using science.
I really liked this debate and hearing many different sides of nutrition. We are all so different and what diet may work for one person may not work for another as admitted in the case of Dr. Joel Kahn's son. In a PERFECT world where everyone can eat the same foods, live in the same paradise where there is no stress, we can all be healthy. Great debate!
It’s funny how it’s the vegan that has central adiposity
I really enjoyed this panel. Very balanced and mainly fact/science/experience based vs opinion.
Excellent discussion with a refreshingly friendly tone, especially final comments. Thanks to all 3 docs for acknowledging that there is still a lot we don't know, and that there is a lot of overlap in their message. WFPB diet works great for me, but realize it's not for everyone & science continues to evolve. It comes back to those famous 8 words: "eat real food, mostly plants, not too much". And I would add..."and get on with your life"...
I love how they just sort of nod along when it's somebody else's turn to speak. I bet they are all internally screaming throughout the whole thing. Especially Dr. Kahn.
He was being too much of a gentleman.
mrbonzzai that’s the issue with Kahn, he’s smart but too much of a good heart, I don’t know how he can be so agreeable, sure it makes for a good person but come on Kahn get mad, you’re here to help people’s health not to win a popularity contest, IMO it would help more people if you were more aggressive
Dr. Lipman told Dr. Kahn not to cherry pick and cite studies because 'science is always changing' but the first argument he made in minute 2 is all about how the latest research proves his point.
Go Kahn!
When he says I remove my patients from gluten.. Does he have patients that eat pure gluten? No they probably eat muffins, white bread and croissants and when they quit gluten, they probably don't just stop gluten they stop processed foods..
1) Real, whole food
2) Mostly plant-based (over 90% of your calories from plant sources), making sure to get an abundance of fruits and vegetables, with lesser amounts of nuts, seeds, grains, and legumes.
The end. It's not that complicated.
Perfumaphilia agree
Plus a little bit of meat. PEGAN
I loved this, especially liked what Hyman and Kahn had to say. It's definitely a strategic move to put Hyman in the middle because he was a sort of a mediator. Maybe he's a Libran? Hehe
I was raised on meat and 3 veg dinners, as well as pasta often. I’ve since learned that the meat, gluten and dairy has caused me to be very unwell. I almost lost my life 3 times over the years. Since cutting out red meat, gluten , dairy and actually almost all meat, bar chicken (in very small amounts), fish also in small amounts, my health has improved. I don’t trust packaged foods information. I truly believe there’s more additives than are listed. Only today I learned that most pizza places sell pizza advertised as “Ham” but following testing some 25 different pizzas from 25 different places in a 3 mile radius, found the so called “Ham” turned out to be “Turkey” in 23 out of the 25! Still believe what you see on the menu???! You’re all being misled 😢😢😢
fun video. These docs all look pretty healthy so they should just keep up what they're doing. I'm with Dr. Hyman - his eating plan works best for me and is the easiest. I do think people should avoid eating as much unhealthy feedlot meat as possible. Heterocyclamines are in heated animal fat. People cook food at too high temperature. People should avoid foods like toast and crackers as they contain acrylamides from the high heat. There's nothing like grass-fed meat baked in the oven - the smoke point for each fat is key.
Whole food plan based for the win
He fails miserably when up against other heart surgeons.
fantastic discussion!..wonderful docs,.clear direct nutrition info..based on measurable outcomes..funny..clever & caring..food IS medicine..easy to follow and followup disparate views..many thnx,.joe
And the question of the best diet will never be completely solved because everyone is soo diverse, with different genetics and different environments. However with common sense and by understanding natural law, we can all get healthier and heal our body. Great video.
All human beings are 99.9 percent identical in their genetic makeup (the human genome). We are more alike than diverse. Members of the same species generally get the nutrients they need from a similar type of diet. The physicians agreed more than they disagreed though, that a whole foods plant-based diet is best, which minimizes processed food and refined sugar; they just disagreed on the amount of fat, and the idea of whether gluten is harmful (although what Dr Kahn said about these concepts is the most supported by research).
From left to right, from less science to much science. What they have in common: No refined sugar, no refined grains and no junk food.
It's great that they all agreed that there is no one diet that works for everyone. And gut health, super important!!!
Dr. Khan looks the happiest and most content!
just by sight he wins and the facts back him up 100%!!!
+beyamama total logical fallacy on your part first of all... second of all mark looks happiest to me and i tend to agree with him, most likely just a case of confirmation bias.
beyamama mark looks like hes a recovering crackhead. He literally has the skin of Lindsey Lohan
they all seem pretty happy to me
And the most overweight
He said he was on the Mediterranean diet and was afraid of fats. Fun fact, Mediterranean diet is all for healthy fats. Olive oil, nuts, fatty fish, etc.
Im Vegan with an Autoimmune disease and I agree 100% with Dr. Hyman
I used to think I was gluten intolerant and always felt better when I removed gluten from my diet... then I realised it wasn’t gluten that was the problem but rather processed grains versus whole grains that was causing my feelings of fatigue. Also I found that increasing my fibre content by eating 3 servings of fruit, veggies, beans and whole grains actually fixed my ‘gluten’ issue. I’m wondering if this is a similar issue that people are experiencing?
Wtf do doctors know about nutrition anyways lmao

Oh...I was glad to see this video. I've been low fat Vegan for 7 months. It's done a lot for my blood pressure and many other things related to my heart. I did lose some muscle unfortunately as I dropped weight a bit too quickly. I'm thinking about moving to Paleo-vegan...for awhile, and just see how it goes. The healthy fat addition through a few walnuts would be nice...and a slight increase in protein I believe may help me retrieve that lost muscle along with resistance work in the gym. But it was nice to see these talented guys hash it out for us. Thank you.
What is Paleo-vegan?
Saturated fat is harmful, but there's no reason for a vegan to shy away from healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats found in olive oil, nuts and seeds. Having plenty of plant proteins (legumes, soya, even whole-grains like quinoa) is great too. If you have a diet low in saturated fat, sugar and refined carbohydrates, then everything will fall into place.
Enjoy life, eat whole foods, avoid processed foods.
I was vegan thirty years ago, now keto omnivore.
Amen. Dr. Kahn... only sensible one on this video Greatest points covered it all at 20.10 mark. Greatest point in the whole video.
Joel Kahn you're incredible, thank you!!! And thanks for mentioning animal welfare. I love that veganism is not just about you as a person - you keep the whole planet in mind.
Soul in the Raw
In my opinion plant is same as animals and same as human.
Plants have a complex organ to process and digest their food.
So if you dont eat meat you must not eat fish. And if you dont eat fish you must not eat plants.
Oh the whole planet again! It's so trendy to think you can save the planet.
Animal welfare can be included in a meat based diet too. And actually he is very misinformed. Pasteur raised, grass fed ruminant animals restore soil health which has massive carbon sequestration capacity, more than rainforests, and promotes biodiversity.
Dr Lipman “I’m doing less harm by doing more harm” sounds logically af bro
The inuit DID have heart disease
+Alex Apland and osteoporosis.
So did the Masai, all while eating the cleanest animal products available:
ATHEROSCLEROSIS IN THE MASAI
American Journal of Epidemiology, Volume 95, Issue 1, 1 January 1972, Pages 26-37
academic.oup.com/aje/article-abstract/95/1/26/167903
The hearts and aortae of 50 Masai men were collected at autopsy. These pastoral people are exceptionally active and fit and they consume diets of milk and meat. The intake of animal fat exceeds that of American men. Measurements of the aorta showed extensive atherosclerosis with lipid infiltration and fibrous changes but very few complicated lesions. The coronary arteries showed intimal thickening by atherosclerosis which equaled that of old U.S. men. The Masai vessels enlarge with age to more than compensate for this disease. It is speculated that the Masai are protected from their atherosclerosis by physical fitness which causes their coronary vessels to be capacious.
The first set of studies googled all say the Inuit had very low rates of heart disease.

Amazing and informative discussion. Learned a lot from watching them discuss. Even though they dont all agree. Excellent 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I can attest to what Dr. Hyman was describing with the difference in wheat. As an American who developed a wheat intolerance I was worried about moving to Italy (hello, pasta central!). Never had an issue.
I don't think you can prescribe a certain diet for most people. Basics aside, i.e., eating whole foods, there are different factors that influence health. Amount of stress and exercise. Environment... Before moving to Laos, I was healthy. I rarely ate processed foods (occasional fast foods, sweets, etc.). I did eat meats and animal fats. I led an active outdoor lifestyle - climber, hiker, biker. Casual yoga practitioner. I had low stress levels. I lived in the mountains. Never took the flu vaccination and even when exposed to people who developed the flu didn't get sick, or any medication for that matter. Only pills I took were vitamins. My numbers after checkups were always good... Now, after having lived in Laos for 4 years now, I'm seriously concerned about my health. I think I am the victim of a perfect storm - antibiotics every year (one year even twice), high stress, toxic environment, and due to low levels of energy as a result of getting sick, little to no exercise... To sum it up, I don't think diet should be an isolated discussion.
Funny how the comments section is dominated by vegans.
When a doctor says he's "not that enamored with science," that's what we call a red flag.
I'm very pleased to see that Dr. Frank Lipman recognizes the importance of genetic variability.
I really liked this debate...They were all very nice to each other and they agreed on some things. They did not want to see fast food in hospitals...
great idea and group .......
its easy to disagree and have a laugh doing it knowing its not 1 opinion lecturing at us as the only way to be healthy.. great dialoge APPROACH!!!!
Why no captions? I am deaf and I need captions, in order to really grasp all that's being said. There is now a law in place, that states that all videos must be captioned!!! Why no captions?

Not even 5min in and this Frank Lipman guy is pissing me off.
There isn't really any discussion required. Whole foods plant based diet, the closer you get to it, the better off you are.
Nice generic statement
I eat a whole food diet and go through phases of eating meat/ eggs but it never lasts long. Been feeling very confused and this video just confirmed no one knows the perfect diet hahaha follow your instincts unless it leads you to processed shit 😀
Lipman says he isn't enamored of science!!! so, how does he think his profession of medicine advanced?! what a clownish claim.
You mean mr. Anecdote
Dr. Kahn at least is an academic practitioner. Has Dr. Lipman ever been published in a peer reviewed medical journal or just Random House? Buy PR, become a celebrity, dupe patients.
Excellent debate; it clarifies key issues and offers insight as to options for actionable courses of action. As a dietary "centrist" I welcome such a discussion so that each person can make more informed decisions appropriate to their unique lifestyle.
I will insert this one sidelight on the Okinawans: the study of island biogeography shows us that adptation rates can be very high in closed gene pools in specialized environments. It would make sense that they might be more adapted to an agricultural diet and lifestyle than the rest of us, just as speciation occurs much faster on islands with the right set of influences (going back to Darwin's finches, etc.). It would be interesting to do more genetic research around this topic with regards to their diet, metabolism, etc..
I'M WITH YA, JOEL!! You killed it. x
+Emily von Euw And I'm with you, Emily!! And you, Joel!!
Mark Hyman makes the most sense. Whole food plant BASED, plus some meat. Low on the beans and grains. No sugar and processed foods, no crappy seed oils (which are heavily processed).
He calls it plant rich
What about Dr.Neal Barnard? He seems very knowledgable on the subject of food.
Dr Hyman seems to have the most nuanced and holistic understanding of diet.
Joel nailed it!!!!!! Hospitals and junk food!!! Unbelievable they serve that in Hospitals. Excellent video
Man they really need more views. This is so informative
Anybody noticed that Lipman is the only one of the three that looks a normal weight? Kahn is chubby and Hyman appears underweight.
+Nick Clarke Hm Hyman doesn't seem underweight. He is pretty tall and lean but not underweight :P
+Linni J. Fox hyman's face looks chubby, but I think it's just the shape of it, not that it's fat.
> only one of the three that looks a normal weight
Define normal weight.
I have read Dr. Hyman's book, "Eat Fat Get Thin." He recommends mostly plant based fats such as avocados, nuts, seeds, coconut, and such. Yes he does say eat eggs but not to excess. (I don't; they are proven to raise TMAO in the blood) I can say one thing....after I read the book I started eating about an ounce and a half of mixed nuts and seeds with breakfast, and honestly have felt better. What's in the mixture: walnuts, almonds, pecans, pistachios, and seeds: chia, pumpkin, sunflower and hemp. This will always be a part of my diet. But no more fat than that if I can help it.
However: except for that I continue a plant based balanced diet. Good low glycemic load carbs, good fat and good (plant) protein. We do NOT, NOT, NOT need animal protein or animal anything to maintain good health. A video clip of Dr. Hyman shows him raving about lamb, but best I recall the book does not push animal fat at all and is not true "Paleo." Look at the cover picture, it explains it all. The only animal foods he recommends are grass fed and not feed lot fed. His website says he's a "Paleo-Vegan (Pegan)." drhyman.com/blog/2014/11/07/pegan-paleo-vegan/ I think we need a wonderful balance in our foods, but I am determined that we do NOT need animal foods. He pushes protein but he is misguided in that vegetable proteins are not only more than adequate, they ensure good health. Look at an elephant- it does not consume animal protein. We don't need fish either. For a thousand years my ancestors in India never saw a fish on their dinner tables; nothing that walks, swims or flies. And they were wonderfully healthy until the onset of highly processed foods. Then their health started deteriorating. Flour of all kinds especially, as Dr. Hyman says. I agree with him entirely on that. However, current medical trends are towards a plant based, whole foods (no processed carbs or processed fats) diet...the kind of diet that saved Bill Clinton. I am an MDVIP Internist and do study a great deal about diet and health.
> ... eat eggs but not to excess. (I don't; they are proven to raise TMAO in the blood)
If a person is following a plant based diet (thus has a less pathogenic gut flora), does the occasional consumption of eggs result in the production of any significant amount of TMAO?
"Everybody is genetically different" So different foods may affect may people in different ways. There are good carboyhydrates and bad carbohydrates. Avoid processed carbohydrates! There is no one correct diet for everyone so everyone please get off your high horse and take that into consideration.
Ofc
A plant-based diet is a fast track to insulin resistance for lots of people. I tried it and it didn't work for me. Grass-fed meats, pastured eggs (not soy fed), wild caught fish, gluten-free grains, potatoes, rice, veg's, a little fruit. That's what works for me.
If you feel tired after eating a high carb meal, then it's probably time to look at your diet more carefully.
Vegan is best ❤️
The best way to take your coffee is black, organic light roast and in the rear. I know it sounds strange but Coffee enemas are a powerful way to detox the liver and raise glutathione levels. One coffee enema a day for a week and you will notice how amazing you feel and how your skin begins to glow. That said, a high nutrient diet is always the foundation for good health and for a person to not just survive but thrive.
You are correct. For hundreds of thousands of years human beings have been squirting this magical juice up their assholes to receive the blessings of nature's first bidet. Biologists for centuries thought of the anus as merely an exit for solid waste, and an occasional entry for sex, but the real biological reason we have a butthole is to put coffee in it.
Sound logic there bud.
The guy on the left renounces science, ignore everything he says
+Kingtiens He trashes bad science that contradicts CLEARLY recurring evidence that he's experienced first hand.
I'd argue that we have taken ourselves long ago out of the environment in every other way, I mean we live in civilization far away from nature. It doesn't make sense to argue that we should keep consuming animals like other animals do, especially when no other animal is consuming us.
As to what he said about gluten, I am not knowledgeable about gluten, but Kahn quoted studies that include large populations. Frank Lipman's argument was based on the patients that visit him. This tiny population of people who come to him feeling sick in not inclusive of all the other people who are doing well with gluten, and which form a far bigger part of society.
My point is: he can't draw out conclusions from this point, because the people are only visiting him because they're sick in the first place. He didn't experiment on healthy people.
I don't want a doctor experimenting on me !!
"im not going to wait for science to confirm what i know is true" i understand it but then again i think its arrogant and dangerous because he's advising patients with that mindset. these are ppl's lives their touting about and with the exception of the plant based doctor on the right, these doctors are the reason i dont trust physician advice about nutrition. i think the mysticism of the medical profession has died off and now we see the health industry (with doctors at the helm) for what it is; a flawed, opinionated, self-interested, money driven industry. Do your research and choose the diet that best promotes health and wellness within you.
Its disappointing to read some of these comments. I thought the panelists had great points based on a lot of experience, research, and knowledge. The fact is, we don't know which diet is "best", so all these commenters on their high horses have no actual information to back themselves up with. Why is it so hard for us to respect other people's lifestyles and have a civilized discussion, just like these guys did on the panel?
I agree with Joel Kahn that we need to train doctors that food is medicine. The problem is right there on the stage. These are all doctors who can't agree WHICH food is medicine. Kahn is not advocating for what he speaks. As soon as you bring morality into the equation, the food as medicine line is just that, a line. Science can decipher what food is medicine. Morality is opinion and will always muddy the waters.
Graham's 80/10/10 diet is severely deficient in many nutrients found in plants and animal fats. I cringe when people promote that macro nutrient ratio since I became severely sick on a low fat vegan diet of fruits, veg and 'whole grains'. I have highlighted all the deficiencies of these low fat vegan diets in a Chapter in my eBook entitled "Why I quit veganism"
I saw your video - Its ridiculous!
Wen't to see your eBook - It doesn't exist!
Went to your website - Got redirected to spam!
YOU'VE BEEN SPRUNG TROLL!!!!!!
Frank made himself look like a complete idiot. Thank you Dr. Kahn for speaking up for health, environment and our animals!!!
I'm from Singapore and the health authorities is doing the right thing by imposing punitive action on cigarette smoking and sugar consumption. But the doctors are still behind time when it comes to cholesterol. Cardiologists are telling people on TV that cholesterol in the diet is the cause of coronary heart disease and that people should take statins to lower cholesterol.
Every American needs to watch this
I was Paleo for 10 years and felt OK but in the end CVD caught up to me.
Doctors are the last people you'd ask about health or food. But they're the go-to guys if you want to learn how to boost pharma profit.

In the Phillippe during Spanish era. Filipinos have average of 90 years living.
Before we eat rice and meat and vegetable. But that time most people are healthy. But after the American colonization. Filipino adapted the American culture of eating. Introducing sodas and junk foods. Now new generation of Filipino life expectancy is 75 years old.
Joel khan killed politely 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
if doctors can't make up their minds how can we?
Follow the science
Another thing....when you ask YOUR doctor....whether or not they believe in nutrition...if they have no opinion....or say NO.....run.....RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN.
I don't think the approaches here are so similar to each other for the average person. I mean one says no grains at all, the other one says lots of grains is good.
FATS? DR. adkins loved fat and revealed at his autopsy just how plaqued his arteries were.
The Okinawa health has been damaged by American military bases there, introducing American Fast Food. The younger Okinawans are lured by American style food and establishments.
Right. The longevity advantage that Dr. Kahn mentioned is due to the traditional diet of older Okinawan's. High carb, low fat, only 1% meat.
These guys need to read each others books at least 2 times before they discuss food. They do agree on a great deal and I think that is where healing is found. Eat REAL unprocessed food and as Michael Pollan said, "Eat Food, not too much, mostly plants"..
Three great guys by the way.
I have this diet: Whole food plant based vegan, low fat, no refined sugar, grains or other processed foods.
I like the doc on the left. He's got it figured out.
Why can't you guys do the first comprehensive study where you take 2 or 3 groups of each of pre diabetics, type 2 diabetics, people with clogged arteries etc etc and long term experiment with their diet? Same (low) level of exercise, then add exercise - ie examine the effects of every component - inflammatory foods, fats, flour, sugar sources etc
Each dr, particularly the paleo drs are overly concerned about offending each other. The reassurance and group hugs are over the top, detracting from the 'debate' with missed opportunities to provide thought provoking or additional data. How many times did they need to hug each other and stress that they agree with most things?
it's because part of him knows that he's full of shit
My! There is some serious narcissism going on here.... and I'm not talking about the video....
