- Milton Mills, MD presents "Are Humans Designed to Eat Meat?" at the February, 2016 Advanced Study Weekend in Santa Rosa, California. For more information: www.drmcdougall...
I became a vegan for the animals, but definitely having our backs with amazing doctors like Dr Mills is a huge bonus!
Check out dr david jubb, & dr robert morse, best in the whole scene
This is the most comprehensive avalanche of information that argues beyond doubt humans are not designed to be meat eaters. It's crazy how 99% of meat eater have never seen this
It's also crazy how many vegans or vegetarians either refuse to seek out, or just don't want to admit to the vast information that is out there on just how healthy meat eating is and how unhealthy eating plants is. But guess what? Everyone's different so the exact opposite may be what's right or wrong for one person versus another. But I stated there's just as much legitimate literature and teachings out there that explain exactly why meat is just as healthy if not more than plants
Yo carnivore idiots still argue with this one!!
@@lewokejames but right here there is already proof that humans are anatomically herbivores. so we should be eating plants. I reckon most of the so called teachings that meat is healthy for humans are all bullshit, you know that the animal agriculture industry literally lobbies the government so that they can maintain their profit for money by continuing to exploit animals. Don't kid yourself or fool yourself man. Do some real research and don't get fooled by the propaganda of the animal agriculture industries.
@@lewokejamesThere is a lot of lying literature about meat. But I admit that you like meat.
@@reactancio4126 it's okay that you've been brainwashed and refuse to do proper research. 95% of average people out there just believe whatever is pushed on them by mainstream media and CZcams analysts 🤣. It's okay that you've fallen victim to that... I won't judge you and the rest of the 95% 👍
I know what it's like to gain weight due to inability to move around like normal people. I give him a lot of credit for appearing in public. It’s hard enough for someone who is 100%, but much worse if you’re out of breath (from the weight) and you know people are judging you, much like so many idiots here are incorrectly and unjustly judging him. This proves to me he's not only an intelligent man, but also a brave man with much integrity.
on a proper diet you can maintain an ideal weight doing absolutely nothing. Go on a low carb meat based diet and try to get fat even sitting on your ass. won't happen.
@Christopher Dysart
Excuse me sir but that diet is absolutely and objectively unhealthy.
genesis bustamante its an incredibly healthy diet.

Probably eating too much grain. Grains are addictive. They are like the vegan “meat”
OMG I love listening to Dr. Milton Mills!
+The Hardcore Vegan Ⓥ Yeah, he's wrong.
He (AnqzOG) obviously did not watch the video. clear case of congitive dissonance. Dr. Nills is brilliant.
Bel Rose I do too!!!
Tony Di Giovanni true that.....
How sad and lonely it must be to live the life of a lowly internet troll. How's that working out for you?
"People will make up excuses so they don't have to make a change "
Meat , dairy , sugar and fat , sodium are extremely addictive , Period .
But you CAN beat it ..I did and I feel AMAZING !!!!
That sounds like ingredients to breast milk as well minus some hormones ( . ) ( . )
maybe addictions like having a vitmin defincency can that be cured with an addiction tot he antidote (the vitamin )
Food is NOT an addiction. People crave it, because they need nutrition. Even salt (sodium) is necessary. Without salt, you get sick and die. It's called hyponatremia. The word "addiction" should only be used with substances that are not necessary for life.

Great presentation!!! Bravo!!!
Why isn't this taught in EVERY school all over the world! Just brilliant!!! Love you, Dr. Mills!!! I am watching this lecture for the second time right now!!!
I can’t imagine why it’s but taught to all the medical students in the world, but it’s not.
It's not taught in schools because it's nonsense. On the simplest observational level, please give examples of naturally occurring human vegan herbivores, frugivores or any other type of plant eater. Dr Mills is a religious zealot and intellectually insane
Because cancer, heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes, etc is big business and plant eaters don't have nearly the chronic illness meat eaters do.
@dawn8542 Actually, according to the Epic Oxford study, vegan mortality is higher for all disease categories but one. The modern disease causing processed food diet is actually plant based getting seventy percent of its calories from refined carbohydrates and seed oils. The culprits in the modern diet aside from processed foods in general are all plant based, alcohol, tobacco, sugar and refined carbohydrates and seed oils. The fatty red meat of ruminants has been the principal human food for hundreds of thousands of years. Ancient foods do not cause modern diseases. No humans are naturally vegan and most people attempting veganism cannot sustain it even for a few years. Mills is still insane
One of the most comprehensive and easy to understand presentations on carnivore, herbivore, human discussion on food.
Thank you so very much. This is excellent!
You are easy to impress! Go out what eatable plants do you find? And in winter? Or Spring? The plants are to far apart to find enough food. When we go back in time until the first human. He did not have the knowledge to breed an cultivate plants and fruits and veggies so never ever could he be vegan. What dou you do first in a survival situation? Catching Fish! In Spring there is nothing to eat. No mushroom, no fruits no nuts, nothing!
I live in 2020, not in 21,500 BC. It's called progress. We do not require meat or the milk of another species.
Life changes and so does our knowledge and our access to information.
Surely you have just a shovel and a hole in the ground to defecate in, right? No water to flush our toilet or purified water to drink? You're using brain power to access the internet right now, aren't you?
Pardon me if I don't fall back on the idea that I must follow the idea that living like someone of 200,000 years ago is appropriate in 2020. It's a poor argument. Time has changed humans and progress has changed how we do things as well.
He makes convincing arguments as to what our diet has been in the past and as to what it should be in our future. We cannot ignore the biological factors that differentiate us from carnivores and/or omnivores.
I went vega about a year ago and his arguments combined with the rest of the plantbased physicians like Mcdougall, Esselstyn, Campbell Greger, etc made it quite obvious to me.
This kind of information should be mandatory for everyone so they can open their eyes and see that they have fallen prey to predators. Predators who do them harm by feeding of them for wealth.
Narsimha Vamana same!!!!!
Daniel Danso Actually, every primitive tribe relies heavily on meat and animal foods. We are naturally carnivores, because in nature we would get at least 30% of calories from animal foods.
I would suggest that during glaciation periods, we got almost all our food from animals. What does Dr Mills suggest we ate for thousands of years before agriculture, which started about 40,000 years ago? animal poop?
seumasmacdonald where is your evidence for your claim?
LegacyEvoAce Look at every primitive tribe around the world and their reliance on animal foods

Chicken is awesome. Probably eat more chicken than any other type of meat. I don't scarf down a lot of KFC though.
Nope, show a sugar junkie a box of DD (Dunkin Doughnuts)! Fat is extremely satiating, by the way. Fried chicken with the skin will keep the person hunger free for hours.
You are making yourself sick and purchasing the slavery rape and murder of countless sentient victims when you could have just eaten a vegan chicken patty which tastes dank instead of the boiled alive and hung upside down chicken corpse. Eat plants not sentient victims fuck exploitation and abuse no excuse for animal use or abuse.

This is exactly what I was looking for! I’ve gotten in a debate with a very insistent carnist who has been rather insulting, and basically told me to “go do some research” when I refuted his claims that we’re omnivores. I could not have hoped for a better presentation than this one - Milton Mills covers absolutely every point that could ever arise, and completely blows any counter-arguments out of the water. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Human beings are omnivores. We lose credibility when we lie.
Mic the vegan also has a video on youtube. And says, the number one killer of americans is pretending to be omnivores. lol

Great talk ! Should be part of all educational studies in early years of learning
Great presentation!
Yay an ER doctor Mills without any training or experience in paleo-anthropology lectures people on comparative physiology (which is irrelevant). Funny too since Mills is a creationist, he doesn't even believe in evolution. Read this book, The Story of the Human Body by Harvard paleo-anthropologist Daniel Lieberman, www.amazon.com/Story-Human-Body.../dp/030774180X if you really want to understand how humans EVOLVED because we ate and eat meat.
HE'S A CREATIONIST? LOLOLOLOLOLOLLOL. veganfeministagitator.blogspot.com/2016/01/0-questions-vegan-rock-star-with-dr.html WOW this explains a hell of a lot.
1. First of all, we’d love to hear your “vegan evolution” story. How did you start out? Did you have any early influences or experiences as a young person that in retrospect helped to pave your path?
Mills: My journey to a plant based lifestyle started with God. In my early teens I joined the Seventh-Day Adventist (SDA) church because after much study I found it was the denomination that most closely adhered to what the Bible had to say and taught. One of the fundamental tenets of the church is that God’s original diet for humans (Genesis 1:29) was an exclusively plant-based vegan/vegetarian diet. In fact, in the Garden of Eden all creatures were vegan (Genesis 1:30). The SDA church teaches that it was God’s original desire and it is still His will that we eat a plant-based diet for our health, mental well-being, and for the sake of the planet and its other creatures.
Knowing this, I still found it difficult initially to give up meat because I thought I couldn’t live without it. But as I progressed in my relationship with God, I found myself struggling with problems I was having difficulty dealing with. I was talking with God one evening in September 1974 about my struggles and the fact that I did not feel as close to Him as I wanted to be. And He said to me “if you want a closer relationship with Me, you need a better diet so you will have a clearer mind. You need to give up meat.” So I said to Him, “If you want me to stop eating meat, You have to take away the desire for it from me.” That night I became a vegetarian. I was mainly lacto-ovo vegetarian until the late 90’s when I was invited to Vegetarian Summerfest to present the paper I had co-authored with Dr. Neal Bernard and Dr. Patricia Bertrand on Racial Bias in the US Dietary Guidelines. At Summerfest of course everything is vegan and I became more fully aware of the many reasons it is important to eliminate eggs and dairy from my diet. That is when I began to transition to a more vegan lifestyle.

HAHAHAHAHA... eating plants is a biblical curse Gen3:18. The meat was for elite, priests and their god.

In 1974 I went to college as a premed. I ended up an engineer. But now that I'm 60, I'm finally ready to be a doctor, now that I know what I know. After 20 years trying to find the correct diet, I'm also finally ready to leave this subject behind, and move on in life, healthy. Thanks for a fantastic talk.
Dr. Milton is very convincing. I hope to meet him one day or see him speak in person some day...soon. This was very informative and reminds me that I'm making great decisions for myself.
HOW GREATLY WISE THIS LEARNING PERSON IS - LOTS TO LEARN FROM HIM !!
One of my favourite presentations on this subject to date. Have watched it many times.
saw milton mills speak at portland Veg-fest a few years back. he is great!🍃
I am so happy that someone is using evolutionary biology to conclusively demonstrate humans are herbivores.
humans are herbivores? 🤣🤣
A lot of this is common sense. We are just shamefully miseducated and addicted to eat the wrong way.
I agree dear friend!
cool ,one of my favorite speakers. his presentations are always good , informative and entertaining....
samuel lopes TRUE THAT
I also had to have an ACDF in my neck from an injury in my teens. The pain would go back and forth throughout the years, and thinking back it was the best when I was, by coincidence, on a whole foods plant based diet (have been vegetarian most of my life). This makes sooo much sense!!!! Sadly my surgery failed twice, but I am sure the pain would be worse if I was a classic meat based diet. Whole foods planet based diets and veganism all the way - thanks Dr. Milton Mills, you are a joy to listen to!
Dr Mills is a f... saviour!!! One of the best lectures I've seen so far. Thank You!
The fact that when I see a wild animal, my first thought is 'aww, look at you' or 'best had avoid that one' is enough to tell me my brain isn't a hunters brain. My dog gets excited and ready to hunt when he sees a squirrel and I have to put him on the leash.
Actual talks starts around the 7:00 mark 😊
I can listen to this guy all day, makes a lot of sense
At 28:50 he says carnivores have the reflective eye effect and herbivores do not which is misinforming. This is a feature of nocturnal animals regardless of the carni / herbi classification.
+DIY Archives How many true herbivores are primarily nocturnal feeder?
+J. Mariner Beaver, Rhino, Bush Rat, Mouse, Lemur, Sloth, Iranian Jerboa, Koala, White Tail Deer, Kangaroo, Degu, Wombat, Rabbit, Possum, Porcupine
But all carnivores and omnivores have reflective eye effect, so why don't we?

Fenomenal presentation.
This presentation is the best I have ever seen about the comparison of carnivores and herbivores! I would love to have dr Mils's professional info.
Sonia Van de Velde true that
Sonia Van de Velde good presentation. Too bad is full of false info
He's on pcrm.org if you want to contact him through that (same site as Neal Barnard)
Romania de azi site some sources for your claims and please tell me in detail what information is false exactly thanks in advance 😊👊🌱
Romania de azi yes which part is false?
Fantastic! I saw him do a similar presentation in a video of the Vegetarian Society of Hawaii and thought it was the best I had ever seen. This was even better! He's fantastic and I'm going to watch this again to arm myself with facts on this subject.
Hard to refute this. Great presentation.
Fantastic research presented so well, thanks Dr. Mills, you rock
He's such a good speaker sheesh. So engaging
Awesome job and a very very impressive and mind altering presentation
Congrats on your recovery Uncle Milton
Intelligent, understandable, entertaining, and convincing - love this guy! Way t’ be, Dr. Mills!
This is the most beautiful and intellectually gratifying speech on animal relationships to humans. Everything he says builds upon and contributes to the gestalt
I wish people like Joe Rogan would listen to this. This is the best and most thorough explanation of every detail. I doubt carnivore dieters would enjoy sick and rotting tissue and only eating once a week. The arguments are so ridiculous and immature.
My health has improved so rapidly being WFPB now. I'm losing weight pretty effortlessly at an age that is super hard to do so (51yrs) because of menopause. My blood pressure is in a very healthy normal range (115/76 this morning) and my hormone problems have improved. Why would I go back to eating meat?
Excellent presentation.
Thank you for this outstanding video Dr. John McDougall! 👏🏾👍🏾
Thank you, great presentation, lots of good staff
This man is 1st class. Entertaining speaker
What a great resource!!! Thank you!
Dr. Mills is a great presenter. Thank you for posting this.
wowwww, thank you for this great college!! the world is changing
Wow amazing demonstration! I am speechless on Dr. Mills knowledge! Thank you Dr Mills and Dr Mcdougall!
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing.
Second time I have watched this. BRILIANT - and thank you Dr Mills.
We aren't "designed" at all. Humans have evolved and adapted, and continue to do so according to what food is available.
Not really. For most of our history we had no ability to hunt.
Amazing lecture!!!
But how... How do I eat a healthy fully nutritioned plant based diet? I can eat veggie and fruit all day long, do I eat beans? I don't care for grains though( quinoa, brown rice yuck, oats and no wheat). I'll eat nuts and dried berries though.Do I still take my vitamins? Sometimes I feel odd as if enzymes is missing. I get a lil bored. So I just prefer to eat and go at times.
Mada'am Queen, if you don’t like whole grains and still want to eat whole food plants, make sure to eat some starchy veggies like sweet potatoes and other tubers! Fruits, veggies, starches, legumes(beans/chickpeas/split peas/lentils)ground flaxseed and vitamin b12 supplement (or nutritional yeast if not gluten sensitive, this also adds umami flavor-put on avocado!) I recommend checking out dr. Greger’s daily dozen...though I find this hard to complete daily, it’s a goal
very interresting lecture, thank you
Truly outstanding presentation!
1:14:58 - where can we find the full presentation that includes the omnivores information?
CaseyCJL this is a full presentation. He said he took it out due to time restrictions however included it in the pamphlet
Yay! I was complaining the other day that I couldn't learn any new information about nutrition and veganism because I had read or listened to so many hours of info that everything I was seeing was repetitive...and then I came across this video and my new favorite doctor, Dr Mills. I love precise descriptions of the mechanisms by which various activities occur in the body, and the delightful Dr Mills gave them to me, along with a wonderful explanation of why we are herbivores. There's a lot of the chemistry missing, and some imprecise language about bacteria "slipping through" your gut lining, but otherwise this was very informative. I would like to see something that explains the mechanism by which bacteria and proteins manage to pass through the gut into other parts of the body.
What a wonderful presentation. I learned a lot.
Dr. Mills, you are absolutely amazing with your facts and I am a huge fan and always learn a lot from you. I just want comment on your beautiful story from 2 Kings. You mentioned that the Prophet Elijah cured the Syrian general Naaman, but it was Prophet Elijah's successor Elisha who told Naaman to go to the Jordan river. I just loved the way you told that story and how appropriate it is in context. Keep up the great work Dr. Mills!
Wow, this was really interesting!👍
Wow, there is so much information here. Will take some time to digest ;). Thank you for giving us knowledge to make our case.
another great guy that I like is Milton Mills!....love this video...
Hehe same. Lets kiss mmwwaaahh
I watched an older version of Dr Mills' presentation on this, I think on VegSource channel. It was so informative and interesting, I enjoyed it so, so much. This newer talk shows how everyone has started saying 'guys' all the time. Still good, vital info, but delivery not as comfortable for me to listen to #NotAGuy , just my perspective.
thanks for posting this lecture
Eskimos, american indians and certain african tribes certainly do live on a primarily meat based diet as documented by Dr. Price in the 1930s. So meat based societies do exists among native populations. The real question however is, do they also get diabetes, alzheimers etc.? I would love to know. The way meat is produced today is certainly a factor to its toxicity with all the growth hormone, antibiotics, gene modification etc., however, I do agree with this video that the evidence for humans beeing herbivores is overwhelming.
Jabberdau yes they have astronomical amount of disease and obesity
Not on their native diet.
That is quite interesting.
Great video I wish he did more speaking
plz upload with CC enabled to allow translation to other languages, thx
Wonderful speech!!
tremendous talk, funny and informative. amazing!
Answers every question i could have hoped to wonder about and explains things in laymen's terms. This is my new favorite doctor, belief in a god
Thank you Dr. Mills for your informative and educational presentation which is most enlightening.
It's a waste of time to argue humans shouldn't eat meat because we are not good preditors. The fact is humans have significant preditory instincts and have always had some degree of meat, insects, fish in the diet for as long as we have been human. But what is significant is that we only had small amounts. We should understand the diet of chimps/apes and then speak of the progression of how humans evolved from there, cooked food, stored food, and food availability.
+Worry Merrorty well I was thinking of instincts in terms of being viscous, murderous, cruel, violent, selfish. Perhaps that's not the same as preditory but I'm sure it's related. I agree that at this point with our knowledge we should all be vegan or close to it. I guess I find the herbivore vs. preditor argument as incomplete as anyone can easily just say somewhere in between which represents historical reality in terms of diet. Certainly the point should be clear that we are more like herbivore than preditor as he tried to say. But to make the case for 0% you need more than what he said. Especicially that we aren't herbivores or chimps either as we are mostly cooked starchivores. So I'm trying to say the story is incomplete. In the end, who knows which argument ultimately wakes a person up but I think people need the full story not a partial one for them to really understand what it is to be a human.
The Artificial Society One of the best nuanced comments here. Great ape comparisons are lacking in his presentation. I think the fact that chimpanzees and humans both hunt scare some of the presenters even though it is not a point for the opposing side because the diets are mostly plant based like most blue zone areas in the world. Orangutans occasionally eat bird eggs and all great apes eat insects. Perhaps that is where more research and dialogue needs to happen.
Did you not watch the Q&A sesh at the end? He answered such a question about Chimps. As he said, there was just not enough time to cover everything, as this lecture is supposed to be 2 hours. Additionally, I can tell you from studying the apes in general that, while some apes (esp. the smaller ones) eat bugs and may even kill small prey, they MOSTLY eat fruits and leaves. Most of their animal eating happens during seasons when fruit and leaves are not as readily available. Their animal eating, when it does happen is not only a survival technique but also a way to supplement a diet mostly based on fruit, which is not protein dense (As DR. Mills points out when he answers the question at the end, humans have always had the ability to eat a wider range of plant foods than apes and therefore can get all the protein we need without resorting to animal killing). Then, with the larger apes like the gorilla, you pretty have a complete herbivore....so the apes argument that humans need to eat loads of meat to be healthy is ludicrous. Sure, if humans want to eat a little of animal products for survival in non-temperate regions for survival, well, that's our right and will not effect us negatively health-wise (like the traditional Okinawans, for a example, who get about 5% of their diet from fish and maintain very good health). BUT in the world we live in today, where plant foods are always readily available, we shouldn't eat animals at all.
>>humans have significant preditory instincts
Some people have a desire to fly. But that doesn't make them birds.
This video is wonderful
Rebecca W TRUE THAT much love ❤️
Seems like we humans are becoming more and carnivorous, not just in diet but aggressive behavior.... 😢😢
Horses and humans and other “sweaters” are all herbivores. Humans like herbivores and frugivores (which we more closely resemble) have alkaline saliva (ptyalin) whereas omnivores/carnivores have no carb-digesting enzymes. Similarly humans have smooth tongues like plant eaters and additionally we use the tongue to shovel food in like frugivores. Omnivores/carnivores have rough tongues-especially meat eaters for tearing flesh). We have simple livers and large salivary glands like plant eaters as opposed to the complex (extremely complex for carnivores) livers and small glands. Brian chemistry is different and many other things. Again our molars, incisors, and “canines” are different from meat eaters and we have well-developed facial@muscles for chewing whereas omni/carnivores have reduced muscles for wipe mouth gapes as they generally chomp* up and down and swallow their food in large chunks (*meat eaters jaws as mentioned chimp up and down generally and can’t move sideways). The jaws of plant eaters are the same but different from meager eaters both Omni and carnivores, which are similar to each other. Omnivores are generally carnivores who eat some plants. There are many other points too. Human instinct is to feel compassion for hurt animals (because we have advanced understanding such as empathy that interestingly enough animals also share often). We don’t salivate at dead corpses. But we do for grapes and oranges etc. Fruits and leafy greens are our ideal food. The health benefit even have been known for millennia.

>>we have advanced understanding such as empathy that interestingly enough animals also share often
You are absolutely right about humans being herbivores. Unfortunately, most humans are too callous to have concern for the animals whose body parts they eat.
It starts at 3:52
Exactly why doctors say don’t feed newborns cows milk.
Protein isn't made by plants. Amino acids come from plants and we convert them into protein. Protein is made by herbivores. When herbivores attempt to get protein from animals, who converted amino acids into protein, they are inefficiently having to break down the protein to get the amino acids and convert them back into protein, but leaving toxic molecules of nitrogen as a byproduct of that breakdown, which are the cause of kidney problems. This is why carnivores often die from kidney disease.
>>Protein isn't made by plants.
I guess you didn't study science at high school. Maybe you should stick to commenting on something you understand.
@@markgerhard1362 Amino Acids are made by plants. Mammals consume amino acids to manufacture proteins. There is a difference according to PHD Janice Stanger right here an the tube. Look it up.
@@gdcat777
Some amino acids are synthesized, some have to be the diet. I have no idea who 'Janice Stanger' is. I have my own PhD, thanks.
@@markgerhard1362M...kay, I'm explaining where I got this information. She gives a presentation on the tube here, so why not find out who she is?
@@gdcat777
I had a look at one of her presentations. Her points that humans eat too much protein, and that this excess is harmful, are completely valid. I'm sorry to argue with a fellow vegan: I just wanted to pick up on your statement that 'protein isn't made by plants', since obviously it is.
Also - I'm not sure that I agree with her claim that excess urea causes kidney problems. Carnivores such as cats have kidneys much the same as ours but eat an almost 100% meat-based diet in their natural environment. CKD in cats is more likely to be caused by inflammation, possible from grain in commercial cat food. In humans, conversely, the problem is that meat consumption causes atherosclerosis, which leads to hypertension, which is the biggest cause of chronic kidney disease.

Thank goodness for this.... So glad my girls a herbivore.

So he thinks cats can't suck on their mother's nipples?!
Don’t worry Vex, I got the joke.
😂
hahahahahah
Loved it!!
This Presentation of dozens of indisputable food processing features powerfully shows humans are herbivores. This is probably just as powerful as a documentary showing the animal ethics reasons to go vegan. Because it destroys the social conditioning that humans are natural meat eaters. Showing this to a carnist will plant powerful seeds that will flourish into veganism because people can only eat meat for a limited period of time once they realise it violates their natural design. This Is also so powerful because it's highly accessible if someone doesn't want to acknowledge with their own eyes the suffering inflicted on the flesh they eat they can watch this , non graphic and totally logical and not about someone's prejudice or opinion it's just FACTS. Cant wait to show this to all the carnist lol
what?? no closed captions on this clip!!
Brilliant talk!! Thanks you Dr. Mills!
This one is going to my Diet Stuff CZcams Playlist.
Great presentation, can’t wait for the book!
8:39 No, it doesn't. But then again, neither does the stuff on the right. The stuff on the right _runs_ from you, and keeps running from you until it collapses. Then it wakes up, sees you got closer to it, runs some more, and collapses again. Then it wakes up, sees that you are _even closer than before_ and then it runs as far and as fast as it can, collapses again, and doesn't wake back up because you walked up to it and stabbed it to death while it was passed out. You got to this point by simply walking at a slow, easy pace.
Oh. I figured I should probably point out that someone who called me a 'carnist' linked me to this video and told me to educate myself. I guess neither the person who linked me this video, nor the presenter in this video, know very much about how humans used to hunt. . . _before_ the advent of the modern technology known as the _fucking snare_ .
9:42 I was already skeptical of the scientific nature of this guy's claims when he opened his medical science presentation by quoting from the fucking Old Testament, and this right here just cinched it for me. He's a fucking PhD-holding physician, and he doesn't seem to understand, that that simply is not how evolution works. Old traits that we had do not disappear just because they are no longer useful to us. The new stuff gets layered on top of the old. You want to know the real way to tell a predator apart from a plant-eater? Look at the eyes. When the eyes are on the sides of the head, it's a grazer. When the eyes are on the front, side-by-side, it's a killer. For the most part. A notable counter-example is the gorilla. The placement of its eyes, are vestigial. The placement of a hawk's eyes, or a cheetah's eyes, however, are not. Same for chimps (not vestigial), which we most closely resemble genetically.
10:18 See my previous point about the way humans hunt. Also, see how a lion actually hunts prey animals. The lion will get whichever animal happens to be running the slowest, or is out of position. Weakness and disease are going to influence those factors, yes, but such animals are simply _not capable_ of making an analytical, strategic decision like that, because they don't have frontal lobes.
10:51 Denying the antecedent and red herring, both at the same time. That's pretty fucking wild.
11:09 And that is _exactly what happens_ when you introduce an invasive predatory species into an environment, which shows that your claim about how predator animals hunt, is simply not flush with reality. On the other hand, an invasive _herbivore_ species will similarly destroy the fuck out of plant life in an area, depleting the food sources of other herbivores. It's like this guy has forgotten the most important factor of evolution is environment.
11:32 That is simply false. The animals hunters harvest every year is nothing compared to what their natural predators take in terms of numbers, _or_ health, and those same animals, would also likely become prey for predators, because that is what predator populations do; they keep prey animal populations in check.
11:57 No true scotsman fallacy by way of an arbitrary metric that I _already_ falsified earlier. The moment you apply actual science to this guy's argument, it falls apart.
13:11 And our trade-off for not being able to eat that kind of tissue, is that we _can_ subsist off of plants in a limited manner alongside other food if we need to. Of course. . . we _can_ in fact subsist off of rotting or bad food. We've done it before.
13:45 First, no we don't, and second, neither do herbivores. There is no 'herbivore mindset.' Cows _will_ eat old, dying grass. In fact, they do, all the time. They don't care what you put in front of them, in fact. This is nothing more than lookism combined with projection.
14:02 Last I checked, no plants are growing in the sewers. Seeds are not spread that way, typically, but in the cases that are. . . they are _always_ spread, as in, that will happen _no matter what animal eats those seeds_ . That isn't a feature unique to herbivores.
16:55 Also, not true. Especially for wolves, in fact. Wolves are marathon runners, in fact. They can walk and run for miles and miles, all day every day. Lions and tigers on the other hand, the big cats, they _are_ sprinters, that is true. Finally, all those other traits, like the forward-facing weapons, torpedo shape, etc. . . we did not evolve away from those traits because we became herbivores, or so that we could become herbivores; we evolved other traits, on top of our existing bio-structures, because those of our species who were _capable of using and innovating tools_ were the ones who survived to pass on their genes. The combination of our body shapes, our opposable thumbs and frontal lobes, are why we don't look like wolves anymore, not because we evolved away from eating meat.
17:44 I'm about to say 'this cuts both ways,' because so far, _everything_ he's been saying about us _not having_ all these 'carnivore' traits, is going to be refuted by his hummingbird analogy, I can already tell.
17:50 About as silly as saying because we don't have sharp claws and forward-facing weapons, our bodies don't gain the most benefit from eating meat? Or that _because we share certain things in common with herbivores, we should be fucking eating like herbivores_ ?
18:00 It also makes you _far better_ at detecting fine movement.
18:10 Evolution is not teleological. Jesus Christ where did this guy get his degree?
19:06 We have high resolution, and _adaptive_ night vision. That's why search and rescue teams don't use white-light flashlights, but use red, instead, because it isn't as damaging to adaptive night vision. Our eyes didn't evolve so we could better find plants to eat, our eyes evolved because eyes that were best for using, and making, tools were what survived.
20:11 You're ascribing too much strategic analysis to the actions of these wolves; those animals were slower and out of position because they were dumber and weaker. The wolves did not _choose them_ because they were deficient in some way. This guy has no idea how natural selection actually works. Those wolves aren't making conscious choices about the best fitness of their prey, they're just killing whatever gets close.
21:16 "Can walk long distances at low energy cost." You mean how I said we humans hunt? Because prey animals are sprinters just like lions are, but when they sense a predator, like us, they sprint away, but that will never get them away from us because we can just keep coming at our slow pace.
25:19 That's. . . not exactly accurate. The plant is converted to energy by the animal, which is converted to biomass. The plants that are the mainstays of elephant and gorilla diets have no protein to speak of.
26:24 It made us extremely efficient _killers_ . Nothing can outrun or out-walk us, on a long enough timeline. So, by the time we catch up to something, we've used almost no energy, and our prey is exhausted. We can, because of our biology, catch the prey that most other predator-animals have a much harder time catching.
I don't think I'm going to learn anything significant from this video.
hold on a sec, what about the BBC Life of Mammals episode where the San bushman is documented endurance-running the dikdik prey to exhaustion? he dismisses that concept a little too brusquely here.... it's not a "stupid theory" if it's been documented... or can that scenario be critiqued ? anyone?
On the contrary, it proves his point perfectly. In that footage you can see that the bushman spends many days in order to get a tiny amount of meat. He wouldn't even have covered his energy costs.
So no one is gonna bring up the fact that he's overweight? Ok.
In the first three minutes he says now that he can move freely there should be less of him to see in the future.
It goes without saying they have no desire to be eaten, but neither do the plants. Whether you and your ecosystem are better off going vegan is debatable, and painting this stuff as a black and white issue is morally dishonest. There is grey in virtually every situation, and there almost never a one size fits all situation. Omnivorism agrees with most humans.
He actually made the dumb argument scavenging is not viable as predators will defend kills to the last morsel, which conveniently ignores not all corpses are the result of hunting, and some like raptors don't like cold meat, and will leave the rest once it gets cold. That's where vultures come in. This was an attempt to argue our ancestors did not scrounge carcasses.
He omits loads of things for his arguments.
@@TheNotverysocial He is the exception to the rule. There is no question that vegans are thinner in general. Those who eat a diet centered around whole plant foods, especially so. In the Adventist 2 study the only dietary group studied with a BMI average in the recommended range was the vegan group. LInk on request.
@@someguy2135 In the adventist study, the best result is from eating fish. Why don't you eat fish?
ok, I agree with it all and have gone Vegan, but I don't think I've done it right, because when I eat fruits in the morning, I get diarrhea .In the past I did have colitis and always issues with the digestive track. Is there another video by Dr.Mills, to guide on what to eat daily ? Thank you and God bless.
Great presentation and total agreement on how humans could not have survived on hunting and how humans are really herbivores. What about the times when people shepherded animals like lambs or sheep?
Wonderful presentation. And released at a time where I'm in a heated argument with a paleo nut.
I really liked this speaker. He explained very well and made it fun and interesting the entire time.
I have one question though. Unless he was a bodybuilder swollen in his neck due to his injury, with the worst posture ever I must assume he is fat. Why is this? He definitly know how to lose weight. Is he in an experiment? Does he not care about his own health?
Hes a vegetarian. No doubt eats cheese pizzas and cream and milkshakes
a meat free diet doesn't automatically mean a healthy diet.
It's because of fats. He probably eats a lot of soy, nuts, seeds, avocado, oils. "The fat you eat is the fat you wear." He probably also drinks smoothies, juice, soy/almond drinks, sugar. Tofu and veggie burgers can have quite a lot of fat as does soy.
The Artificial Society soy high in fat? Not true. Soy is a bean, not a nut...
Dude right at the start he clearly ackowledges that people will ask themselves "why is he so fat?" and addresses it. He reveals he has had a severe car accident, leaving him unable to move much 12 years ago. Years with limitations and apparently he's vegetarian and milk/cheese/eggs have loads of fat. What he also says is that he just recently had a surgery and he's getting much better, expecting to lose weight fast ("you'll see much less of me"). It's completely unrelated to what he eats, it's about a severe deficit in energy expenditure and muscular development over a very long period of time. Here he is 1 year later after this, down to a much healthier level: watch?v=bOoR3PuQJ98
Fantastic, very informative..Thank you..
This is brilliant
It a very good argument. It is a very distorted point of view.
Excellent presentation. Indisputable evidence that humans are designed to be herbivores. Great clarity, and detail. Many thanks, Dr Mills.
Bullshit, all of modern science institutions agree that as humans evolved from apes we started eating more meat and relied on animal foods for health and survival. Dr. Weston A. Price discovered all primitive tribes around the world were using animals for food and relied on them to sustain life. All of the modern science points to humans being omnivores.
Dr Mills mentions his lecture actually goes for 2 hrs. He edited down for this presentation. is the full length version of his lecture available somewhere?
what a blessing, thanks so much!!
I wonder how Milton would reconcile the fact that human stomachs have a PH range of 1.5-3 depending on conditions. Our stomach PH has more in common with carrion eaters than cows. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4519257/
Also interesting is that the human appendix (called the cecum) is present in pretty much all animals. In obligate omnivores (rear gut digesters), it’s where bacteria live that break down cellulose into saturated fat. It also tends to be quite large in herbivores. It’s rather small in carnivores unsurprisingly- almost non existent in humans and can even be removed without ill effect.
Then, if you take all the primates and arrange them by gut to body size, the predominantly vegetarian gorilla is at one end of the spectrum with the largest digestive tract (and smallest brains) and humans at the other with the smallest digestive tract relative to body size (and largest brain).
Someone might want to spend a bit more time fact checking this guy.
“Alternatively, in light of the number of fecal-oral pathogens that infect and kill humans, selection may have favored high stomach acidity, independent of diet, because of its role in pathogen prevention.”
Also noted is the lack of ph data on hominids.
One final thought, once I watched a documentary on hominid evolution (though not to the point of humans) and it was particularly pointed out that as “ball” size increased, “member” size decreased and vise versa. I have not seen any of this evidence being relevant in human males. So when someone points out an interesting correlation, sometimes that’s all we can note for the time being. But! You made fair points, it’s always good to be skeptical-my skepticism still finds in favor of plant based eating....though we are totally capable of eating meat, clearly.
Ok, just one more, sorry-the appendix and cecum are not the same organ, we have both. Food for thought on its role- www.scientificamerican.com/article/does-the-appendix-serve-a/
Does he have his own channel, & if so, what’s the name of it so I can subscribe...? Amazing!
