I was diagnosed with diabetes 2 years ago and I can say with much confidence that; Dr Barnard’s books and methods saved my life.
Hdl .whart is the ideal reading
@@davidwhartoni5346 LDL is 35-50
I am so glad you made the choice to save your life and I am so grateful for this wonderful man saving me too. I had horrible migraines, depression, acne, bacterial infections, candida, and more and it's all going away. It's only been a month and I feel way better already. I was only 26 and have a horrible response to sat fat. Cutting it out has been revolutionary for me. WFPB no oil for my health and vegan for the sweet moo moo's and baa baa's and cluck cluck's!

Dr. Neal Barnard is the best doctor in America!
You have to ask the question: Who is funding these studies? Pharmaceutical companies in order to get Drs to push Statin drugs. You can always tell when someone is stuck in their own world because they make fun of people who disagree with them. It's the oldest trick in the book.
Giving people food during a presentation was a bad idea
I think it significantly adds to the atmosphere, then again I was having lunch whilst watching this video.
So it's not just me who hears the kitcheny noises in the background 🤔
What a stupid thing
It’s really a shame that we have to listen to people apparently eating during his lecture.
bacon and eggs
Such an insult 😢
I am so disappointed in the scientific community as a whole, the more research I do. It should be a punishable offence to publish biased studies in journals that receive funding from/are done by affected industries. Because of all the confusion and uncertainity the disingenous findings cause, the health of the world (people, animals and environment) have been compromised and even those with the best of intentions have no idea whether they are impoving or worsening any given situation. It is so sad. The best people can do is to compare these research papers themsleves and come to their own conclusions, but not everyone has the time or the knowledge to interpret the data, and it is in no way a foolproof method either. We just trust either one scientist/doctor or another. And to be honest, my vote is with the person guaranteed to have the most empathy and compassion in their hearts, therefore the least likely to decieve or push an agenda for personal gain - I will go with the vegan community.
Very well said
Hdl-ideal reading?
Back in the late 1990s, TV and radio stations presented "studies" showing that "there was no conclusive evidence that smoking cause lung disease"; but those studies were financed by the tobacco industry. Before 2015, the Internet was screaming "cholesterol is bad, if it exceeds 200 you must take statins"; and that was based on "studies" financed by the pharmaceutical industry. After 2015, the anti-cholesterol rhetoric calmed down, because of "studies" that were financed by certain segments of the food industry. Bottom line: Studies seem to consistently "prove" whatever favors those who finance them.
@@BondiAV
Why are we surprised? We're not really.
It's how our own brains work.
Why did people choose to believe those patently false studies?
For the same reason more and more people will continue smoking pot event as more and more studies reveal it's health dangers.
Because smoking grass and tobacco gives them pleasure.
Yup. You are very right .
I’m still all over the place whether or not to be concerned with LDL versus cholesterol. On the one hand there are studies that show it’s not the cholesterol per se that is bad, but the oxidized/glycated LDL which may not directly correlated with the total cholesterol. And also say that high LDL-cholesterol is not necessarily a bad thing as long as HDL, Triglycerides and HbA1c are all within normal limits because it means LDL levels indicate a healthy movement of triglycerides needed for cellular processes… versus this one from Doc Barnard where it lumps all the cholesterol into a bad thing overall…. also about that statin thing, which makes me adamant at taking it to “cure” my high LDL-cholesterol because I have very good numbers for HDL, triglycerides and HbA1c…. 🥴
Check out Dr. Nadir Ali.
Just do not bother with blood cholesterol figures. The true is that nobody knows their significance anyway. They make money out of jiggling with the figures, nothing more. In 99% out of the presentations the metabolic paths are ignored, or wrongly considered.
What is your Hb1C level, if I may ask?
@@asociatiaademed7417 5.1
@@primopierre That is a healthy value. In the scale I used: 5.7% - 6.4% = pre-diabetes, above 6.4% = diabetes. The values may slightly differ with the laboratory and the interpretation - with the physician. To make sure it is ok, you may go for an HOMA-IR. I think you know, but just for my piece of mind: the laboratory tests are not the Holy Cow of the medical science.
Hb1C changes only after at least 3 months, so checking and 5-6 months is enough. To be noted that the contribution of the diet in 30 days prior to test contributes 90% to the test results, while the remaining 2 months - only by 10%.
I assume you are not on diabetes medication. If you are, there is a totally different discussion and please disregard what I said.
I find that I do best when I don't combine fat and carbs. This way, my digestion is happy. I put olive oil on my non starchy veggies. But I eat beans or oats without fat. I feel best eating that way. 🙂
I am on a relaxed carnivore diet, I have a low carb so I can include dairy, the most digestible food on the face of the planet and an 8 ounce glass of vitamin C juice. The rest is grass fed grass finished red meats bison and beef and pasture raised eggs and pork Wild caught fish. I have contact dermatitis, the carnivore diet put me in remission after 30 days! Cholesterol has been proven to have no link to heart disease, but doctors insist on peddling medication for it.
@@Spyrit2011 I'm on a similar diet, but I don't have juice, that's too much sugar. I do believe in milk though and grass fed animal meat. I eat low carb veggies and low sugar fruits (berries) I also supplement with Spirulina and Chlorella. I'm in perfect health at 67.
@@LisaMurphy I drink juice from red pears, they are low on the glycemic level , 84% water, anti-inflammatory, and packed with nutrients that compliment the carnivore diet. Absorbic acid plays a role in aiding iron absorption into the blood cells as well as boosting the immune system, which these days is pretty important. I am doing carnivore for it's anti-inflammatory properties and fat adaption.
@@Spyrit2011 there isn’t enough land to feed our population animal based foods even IF they were healthy. But they aren’t the most healthy anyway. Plant foods is the most environment, animal and health friendly way to eat as a whole.
@@jbarber1016, we don't eat as a whole, we eat as individuals, what works for some may not work for all. While eating vegetables may be okay for some, eating meat is necessary for many. Those of us who are eating meat as a means of controlling our inflammation, don't really have a choice in the matter, for us, vegetation of some types cause inflammation and extreme pain. I have Psoriatic arthritis, it is an autoimmune disease, I have found out that eggs and milk products cause me pain, the same goes for garlic and onions, I can eat a meat based diet, and test other foods while I am on it to see what causes a flare up and what doesn't. Not everyone has to eat this way, but some of us do, it's not possible to switch 7,5 billion people over to a vegan lifestyle. And P.S. fish and poultry, are meat too, not just cow, there's lamb, goat, and a few others.
Troubles me is that there are so many diverse and in some cases opposite opinions from leading cardiologist and nutritionist on this subject
Me too. You can find any opinion that'll satisfy your own confirmation bias. This video could more accurately have been called _''Adding_ to the cholesterol confusion...''
I think he just jumped to the conclusion at the very beginning that cholesterol is bad for you and need to reduce. But in the meantime he also said our body makes cholesterol. Study also shows Statin drug reducing cholesterol doesn't affect heart disease.
Like my doc says , any diet that totally eliminates any food group or promotes only one food group exclusively without exemption is probably wrong or at least unsustainable. Works for me.
Well why would u eat animal products & raise your cholesterol & coat your veins & arteries with it along with fat & saturated fat?
It's called denial
Thank you Dr Barnard for your responsible professionalism. And for being humble and kind enough to teach us the truth for free. By learning the truth about how food effects our bodies I've made dietary changes, become more healthy, energetic, got my serum cholesterol down to the healthy range, my blood pressure stays around 110/70, my joints are pain-free and inflammation-free, my back is pain-free, and I feel and look younger than most people who are ten+ years younger than me.
MsFit Vegan happy for your health. His teachings are flawed though.
you seem to have best nature!!
He's an idiot period.
Nobody's getting out alive! Eat real food, exercise, be cool to everybody, be happy and wish for a little luck!
Its really not hard to be healthy (I cannot say that cancer can be prevented however, as everything seems to cause it somehow). Just cutting out processed shit from someone's diet and exercising 4x a week or more depending on how much you sit, is enough to probably add decades to your life.
And do shrooms once in a while for increased levels of awesome
The best advice on here.....nice one
Yeah if those years are healthy that's a world of difference.
@john m So we recently created these plants?
My LDL cholesterol DOUBLED when I started keto diet with eggs and fish. Now my ldl level is 198
There is a good reason for you ldl going high. You should search for the research done by Dave Feldman. He explains this and more. In short, a key diet will pull vldl from your liver. These stay around for a few days. So the previous 3 days can affect the level. Also you fast for a blood test, which pulls out vldls which will raise the ldl. Measuring and using ldl in this way is flawed.

@@paulg687 thanks a lot dear friend 🙏.
We do fasting blood test for lipid profile and sugar tests. I watched the video you suggested. He ate high fat, moderate protein and low carbohydrates. It reduced his carotid artery’s thickness and lowered blood pressure. I hope this keto diet will also help me to cure my BP and my heart ( palpitations)and kidney (eGFR 79)ailments. Once again thanks a lot for your kindness. May god bless you
@@govindang9303 you’re welcome. Just so you know, from what I’ve researched wrt heart palpitations: there are a few common issues that can cause afib. One is electrolyte depletion in magnesium and/or potassium. You can easily try supplementation to see if it fixes the issue. You have to be careful not to overdo potassium supplementation. Start very low and research before you try. A lot of afib issues can actually be caused with back problems. The nerves for the heart come out of the spine (around just below the shoulder blades). If these nerves get pinched they can cause palpitations. If you have back issues around this area, you may want to try to correct that with exercises and stretches. There’s videos based in the McKinskey method you can see to show how to do this. Chiropractors may be able to help, but by doing these McKinskey exercises you can do them each day or as needed. Additionally, with a low carb diet, you may experience a lot of weight loss. This may also improve the situation because you’re applying less pressure on the nerves. Hope that helps.
@@paulg687 thank you, I will try these. My bp shoots up with tight feeling at heart, when try to drink water to keep 1.5 litres daily intake. I think it is because of low GFR of 79. I am restless.
@@govindang9303 I had PVC..ie heart palpitations and started taking magnesium and it was gon the next day and has not returned.
My non-scientific guess is that the culprit is processed foods. Food from white flour, combined with overconsumption of added sugar. Every measure; plant-based diet, intermittent fasting, Paleo diet, etc.; are beneficial simply because they reduce our consumption of white flour-based foods and added sugar.
Oskar Denis Baharudin the issue is saturated fat. Watch any fatty eat and you will see the plate is primarily fatty foods.
@@adiposerex5150 almost all diseases in modern times are linked with unmanaged glucose level in blood. Please show me any research which shows low carb and high fat cause diabetes. (and please don't show me a research which mix high fat with high carb and calls it high fat diet)
@@realimagevanity2289 eating whole food complex carbohydrates are not unhealthy.
Our ancestors ate lots of tubers, whole food complex carbohydrates to fuel themselves.
I cannot eat low carb, it makes me very unwell.
I am happy to cut out refined/processed junk food carbs, anything made out of flour from my diet such as bread, bagels, muffins, pasta ect.
But I feel much better/healthier when I eat whole food complex carbs like potato, sweet potato and rice with lots of vegies or salad.
@@michellehashish5341 nothing wrong with that as long as you keep fat very low. What I am saying is that mixing high carb with high fat is the issue.
@@realimagevanity2289 yes I am doing my best to eat low fat. No dairy and I am learning you can cook without oils. I am eating flax and chia seeds for my omega 3.
What is your opinion of Ivor Cummins aka the Fat Empero, David Feldman (cholesterol code), and Dr William Davis. Apparently, despite what we physicians have been taught, LDL is quite a poor marker for CVD risk. Better marker is HDL/triglycerides which I believe should be less than 2. When elevated, is a sign of insulin resistance which is definitely a/the driver for almost all CVD.

Yes, LDL by itself is a silly metric. Dave Feldman proved live that he can show impressive LDL with an incredibly poor diet in a week!
Reducing insulin is a key factor in great health. This obsession with LDL is just a way for people to push their beliefs onto you. Your body creates and regulates cholesterol. Eating more foods with cholesterol will make your liver create less - and vice versa.
@@paulg687 Actually, experimental research clearly demonstrates elevated LDL is the central causal factor in LDL because if you keep your LDL in the normal range for a lifetime (35-70), then unless you have a rare genetic disorder, no plaque forms. No elevated LDL=no plaque= no heart attacks.
"Dave Feldman proved live that he can show impressive LDL with an incredibly poor diet in a week!" That doesn't prove or disprove anything--LDL isn't the ONLY factor in human health.
William Davis' book was incredibly weak and flawed on the research and Ivor Cummings dupes people by showing studies where people have LDL under 100 or 130 or even 140 and pretends that is normal or "low" LDL. Then he says--"See, people still have heart disease with normal LDL," except that ISN'T normal or low LDL, it is elevated LDL. Normal LDL is 35-70, and when people's LDL stays down there, arterial plaque doesn't form.
Thank you for sharing the truth you know and so willing share with us! May God bless you always!
I eat a high-fat animal product diet and my blood pressure is 120/60 with very low triglycerides.
The crap to avoid is vegetable oil and canola oil.
Give it time. Most people do not see immediate effects of animal fat until later. Your blood pressure is your pressure is a snapshot of your blood pressure and health at a given point.
THANK YOU demoskunk. This bullshite is medicine from the 1960s...they just refuse to give it UP.
The stuff to avoid isn't just vegetable oils like canola and soy and corn, it's also ALL refined foods. All junk foods. All foods that contain sugar. Cholesterol is like little sticks of dynamite in your system and sugar is the box of matches. Keep them both DOWN if you want to avoid disease and live long.
Do u eat the animals in Cowspiracy
@@LisaMurphy Healthy fats are good, though. And that includes butter and the marbled fat in steaks.
I raised my dietary cholesterol drastically with pasture beef and eggs. My cholesterol dropped to perfect. Total 153 and my triglycerides are 35.
I wish someone would explain why they think your case should be ignored. Not how we mortgage our children’s future, but what happened that was different than described. All those studies showed that eating cholesterol raises cholesterol. Was the flaw that pastured meat and eggs were not used? I’m trying to find the fundamental flaw in those old studies he referenced. I eat very little meat. Lots of veggies. LDL is above 70. I DO have a sugar addiction though.
Birtee I believe the fundamental flaw is context. Meat, as in feed lot conventional burgers with fries, beer, and onion rings is a far cry from my pasture raised beef and eggs eaten with lots of vegetables and no processed foods. The studies don’t take into account food quality. People don’t talk about this very much. Quality is very important.
@@Jeffopar The problem is the beer and onion rings, not whether the meat is lot or pasture raised. Still, I wish agriculture would eliminate the vast acreage for corn and wheat and start growing alfalfa and timothy for the livestock.
when I was first diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, I really disappointed my doctor by refusing to take medications. As I reviewed what the meds were actually doing for people, it sounded to me that meds were making people more and more insulin resistant. A nurse who was coaching me about diabetes, told me I would need to be on metformin, and a year or so later, I would need more metformin, eventually I would need insulin injections. I rejected that. I at first tried Keto that seemed to help but I never felt healthy. Now I am on plant-based way of eating and feel great. I had never heard of type 2, 1.5 with an autoimmune element. I need to learn more about that, as I also have another autoimmune condition.
That is awesome! Many people simply don't get the message it is possible and they remain very ill.
how long did you try keto?
Great, first using alimentation as a correction is always the best. It seems to be greatly underestimated. Insuilin against type2 diabetes is contraproductive!!
Great info. Bottom line imho-If you will just look around at the public walking in plain view the obesity in front of you will tell you something is wrong.
True that's the biggest problem, it's not the cholesterol, it's the overconsumption of carbs
czcams.com/video/LRHir1k9jmE/video.html
Marja Stuyt yeah it must b all those burger buns 🙄
It's the overconsumption of food stuff. And very likely the overconsumption of all the wrong foods.
I do not understand the citizens of this world who pay for food to create illness in their own bodies. STOP EATING CRAP PEOPLE!
www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0899900715000775
Just common sense. It's not the cholesterol, read this article, see how Americans followed the guidelines and get obese
Marja Stuyt They ate a shit ton of cheese and didn’t exercise. They over ate bad carbs, and underate fiber. They ate too few fruits and vegetables, and ate too many donuts.
Your anti-carbohydrate crusade is bullshit and you are misleading people on here.
My father died after 8 years in a nursing/hospital setting. He had a stroke and had suffered greatly afterwards. I have seen many people suffer and continue a horrible diet even after a heart attack. Who wants their end of life to be filled with pain, unable to move and bed ridden until death. While I am an oval vegetarian, I do not eat a lot of them and will probably give them later. I am also disabled and can tell you about suffering from pain. I do not need to add to my suffering. I broke my back and have rods, plates and screw. Pain is daily, statins made the pain worst, so going vegetarian was the right call for me. My actual lifestyle is Whole Food, Plant-Base. While it won’t stop the pain in the back, it has changed my life. 8 months and still going strong. Food is Medicine.
hug hug
I’m Whole Foods plant-based also and luckily, I was able to sift through the information and advertising through so-called meat and dairy industry studies. We are less likely to be ill in our old age to the point where we are disabled and in pain, I certainly won’t have to take statins Ever. same goes for blood pressure medication and my weight is normal worth previously. It was always going up towards obese.
The most important issue is shoved aside!
If cholesterol is needed by everything in our body, why is it bad when it comes to the rescue of irritated blood vessels? Shouldn't science concentrate on searching how to prevent vessels irritation?
It's not bad. What's bad is too much ... LDL ... & Trigs
So, everyone still disagree with one another. You know your fucked when one "expert" tells you that cholesterol is bad and you don't need to consume it, and another that goes into detail on how it DOES NOT do anything to your heart. Somebody is freaking wrong.
Normally the more ‘religious fervour’ and shaming rhetoric the speaker is using to convince you, the less right they are. We know now that HDL and healthy LDL are good but oxidised LDL is not. Anyone telling us not to consume dietary cholesterol has to prove it is more likely to become oxidised LDL in the body than LDL manufactured by it. I have no idea, but it’s clear from current real science that one can’t demonise any form of HDL or LDL that is healthy and those that do are simply parroting ancient dogma.
@@neilxify Yea, I am coming to that conclusion myself. I just eat cholesterol foods that is full of nutrients, exercise and keep excess inflammation down with fish oil and Tumeric.
Well, the connection of cholesterol and heart disease was found a long time ago. There are many industry interests to fight against that, so after these results, many studies where funded by the industry to ensure their business model. In the end it's honestly not that hard, turn on your own brain. But I mean that stuff that clogs the arteries literally consist mainly of cholesterol.
@@okdoomer620 Inflammation causes the build up of plaque moron. Cholesterol is just the reaction to the inflammation. Cholesterol is needed for the body to fuction for fucks sake.
What causes inflammation? It isn't Cholesterol. Its carbohydrates and sugars. THIS IS THE FACTS. Look up what happens when you eat a shit ton of sugar in the body. Inflammation city.
@@okdoomer620 Just type in "Sugar Causes Inflammation". There are many studies that prove this. To say this is all a Cholesterol funded conspiracy is a fucking joke.
Nice and full of humor presentation. However, I was hoping to hear something about the various types of cholesterol subgroups, e.g. VLDL. There is a lot of recent research explaining the subgroups, focus mostly on LDL, which reveal a new picture for those worried about cholesterol. Instead of treating only HDL and LDL as big blocks and using the old total cholesterol formula which dates back many years.
Agree. Watching hours of presentations of how something is linked to something else and what the statistical correlations were computed is wasting time. This is no science but pseudoscience. Biochemistry is a difficult science and that is why most physicians simply do not know. It is so easy to dump some figures in a computer program and graph the outputs! Add a tie and a screen and voila! You have "science". I forgot to mention the money :-)
You want someone to tell you that high total cholesterol is good. It’s not good. It’s not that complicated. It’s just that Keto diet doctors are trying to explain away keto dieter’s total high cholesterol numbers, trying to say higher numbers are good.
@@mariaespiritu9512 That might be an oversimplification of the matter as most recent research is starting to reveal. If lipids are sitting idle in a tube, true that they could end up sticking. But when those same lipids are being actively pushed forwards by various transporters, the picture is different.
@@mariaespiritu9512 I agree with you. Medicine is still trying to let people eat their regular foods and fine tune their analysis to find the people who will really have a heart problem from it. They are trying and failing.
@@mariaespiritu9512 You have absolutely no clue.
This is an outstanding lecture.
Was on statin for only 2 months and then spent the next 18 months trying to overcome arrhythmia (14000 pvcs per day).
It's been a year since the pvcs have stopped. Cholesterol is quite high as per my lipid panel report last week, but not taking statin. Instead cutting out eggs, processed fats, etc. while also on 18:6 intermittent fasting.
If I drink more than one cup of coffee per day, I start to have pvcs. If my BMI is high so is cholesterol, if normal my cholesterol is normal. I have tried to take statins three times but always had to stop because of muscle pain. I am old with no artery blockages, but doctors still think I need statins. Just a statistic of one but thought this might help.
May be Cholesterin is not most important. Think of sugar and carbohydrates and obesity!
I stopped eating eggs for a whole year, took the blood test e the cholesterol level did not go up or down. I’m back eating 2 eggs a day.

I took a blood test or rather my GP send me for one (I didn’t ask for one), the results came with all kinds of deficiencies. GP put me on various vitamins. I collected the medication kept it on the self and went on a dietary path, glass of milk, eggs twice a day. By the third BT everything was within the required limit. I returned all medication to chemist. After that anytime GP send me for a BT, I do my business and make him happy. When I was growing up, we were taught up; egg and whole milk were whole food, that is the truth. Selling by products is Is everybody’s goal. Many are touting for business. That’s how they designed the system. Your body has the capability producing everything that needs. Whatever you have, have in moderation, you’ll be fine.
Well said, you are good by heritance and behaviour andbeeing critical overlook!
Before going plant based I was don't carnivore. Now I don't personally know what that did to my cholesterol cause I never had it checked. What I do know is all the people that were getting checked had their doctors telling them they should be on a statin and most of those people saw their cholesterol levels at least double. Some of them are in the 600s, many are 300-500. Clearly eating cholesterol in our diet impacts cholesterol levels.
I don’t know about all y’all, but I functioned my best when I dropped sugar’s and flour’s, in all of their forms. I found energy, I woke up ready to work, I was excited, and I rarely had those low days. Problem is sugar’s and Flour’s are in EVERYTHING. And they have many names.

Half the patients admitted to hospitals for heart attacks have normal cholesterol. How is it obvious that cholesterol causes heart attacks?
@@kenmarriott5772 Doctors don't have an answer to that question but they will find a way to blame it on "Family History" and tell the patient he/she needs a stent and be put on a fancy new expensive blood thinner like Eliquiis or Brilinta for the rest of their life ( no Warfarin or Coumadin, no siree)especially if they have the dreaded "widowmaker". A friend of my husband's has been taking Statins for over 20 years due to a Family history of heart disease and had a heart attack recently where they found a widowmaker with a 95% blockage. So much for Statins preventing heart attacks and strokes!
@@kenmarriott5772 That's because the "normal" cholesterol levels are actually quite high. The physiological LDL cholesterol levels are 50-70mg/dl
Noah, the dietary cholesterol hypothesis came out of Senator George McGovern’s committee on dietary guidelines for Americans. The Senator asked if there was any evidence for this. He was told no but it would be easier for people to understand, since they were blaming serum cholesterol.
Noah, the new thinking is chronically high levels of insulin is causing heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer’s, joint inflammation. These diseases are reversible by lowering insulin. Cholesterol is the symptom of metabolic syndrome, not the cause.
"Cholesterol particles have oxidized and irritated the artery wall" Are you sure about that causation?
Its total cholesterol..no no its LDL...pardon me, its LDL particle count that matters...no no its oxidized ldl...and now, its apoprotein b:)) this theory definitely not explaining the CVD equation.
Glycated and oxidized... Lets just guess by what.
All this lecture is mostly piece of garbage without real science to show the facts.
Excellent. Thank you
Can’t thank you enough Doctor Bernard

Very good point on the meta-analysis, but the end-conclusion is also fallacious: Directing guidelines according to populations may actually make things worse for those populations, without a comprehensive understanding of what is going on.

"Cholesterol is not a nutrient of consumption for overconcern." Fascinating!
Although you have the wording backwards, that was the initial conclusion of the 2015 FDA panel based on one very small meta-analysis in which 11 of the 12 studies were funded by cholesterol-producing companies/interests (Egg Boards, fisheries). Then scientists complained and it was changed to eat as little as possible because the better research shows diabetes and heart disease ramping up with higher egg consumption.
@@karlwheatley1244 I was just quoting exactly what Dr. Barnard said as he started his speech.
@@Malcolm-Achtman That's odd, because the original statement was that cholesterol is no longer a nutrient of concern for overconsumption. So I guess Barnard mixed it up while talking.
Take care.

For most people, physiologically-normal LDL levels are ~35-70. However, lots of folks have LDL levels of 90-250, and they only got that way through unhealthy diet and lifestyle.
Dr Bernard is NOT a part of the pharmaceutical industry- he believes a healthy diet can deal with most of our modern lifestyle chronic diseases. Dr Bernard did talk about cholesterol being made by the liver ( that our body makes cholesterol) and explained cholesterol is vital for many functions. Dr Bernard also explained you have to be careful as too much can be harmful.
@@karlwheatley1244 my own parents are examples of genetics in cholesterol. Dad eats whatever... Fried foods and eggs and ice cream etc...mom is very careful. But their bloodwork is the reverse of what science says it should be. I know many ppl like this and as a nurse see many ppl do poorly on meds. Its just not that simple.
@@grainiac7824 OK, but now you are talking about data: Before you sounded like someone claiming people could just sense what is healthy for them and find their way, and since the first indicator about half of people have that they have heart disease is a fatal heart attack, that wouldn't be good enough. Similarly, diabetes sneaks up on people. Yes, some people have genetics that tip the scale significantly one way or another, but most don't. I'm wondering if your dad's LDL is under 70 eating that way, or if it's just under the phony "normal" many doctors use (under 100 or under 130). Also, his post-prandial LDL may still be significantly higher than his fasting LDL if he eats that way.
Take care.
My cholesterol dropped 75 points in 12 weeks following his diet. My a1c dropped .4
Last year blood work pre diabetes, almost border cholesterol, gout, inflammation, diverticulitis, staying away from saturated fat only eating egg white, exercise, why am I on my way to be un healthy, so last November went on keto low carb no sugar and started eating bacon regular egg saturated fat my blood work 3 months ago is perfect no high cholesterol everything is better even my gout I lost 35lbs and I feel better man I love my bacon and egg.
Congratulations! You have made the right choice!
But if we say food cholesterol doesn't contribute to cardio disease, then how is BIG pharma going to sell product?
I would like to see one day dr. Neal Barnard and dr. Berg sit down on a panel and discuss how best to lower cholestrol. They are both on completely different sides on this very important issue that is killing people. How can we find a true way to lower cholesterol when doctors can't even be on the same page.
I am not on one person's side more than another, I just want clear answers so I'm not confused anymore.
The only thing that I did get from this was that I didn't hear Dr berg state that a plant based, low fat diet is not an acceptable alternative to lowering cholestrol, whereas Barnard stated fat contributes to high cholesterol and why cholesterol is lowered initially on a keto diet. The only thing I did hear Dr berg say that agreed with Dr Barnard was that the body makes its own cholestrol, so if that is the case, why would we need to eat heavy doses in meat, cheese, dairy, and oils if the body produces its own? Isn't too much of one thing bad?
One of the main reasons for me adopting a whole-food, plant-based, vegan diet is that I do not want any animals to die in order to feed me. There has to be a better way. So for two years I’ve been eating a vegan diet, and I feel great.
Dr. Berg and DR Berry believe that because the liver doesn't need insulin to produce usable lipids from dietary animal fats to nourish our cells. They proclaim that sugars and carbohydrates trigger an insulin response that is harmful in numerous ways. Also, in their educated opinion they explain that harmful triglycerides are a byproduct of overindulging with fructose and carbohydrates. I think both schools of thought present interesting theories and eventually the best diet will be discovered.
Berg is a chiropractor.
@@richardwalker8398 we are talking about cholesterol not your reasons for not eating animals. Have your cholesterol levels changed from your new diet??
@@mosaicsanctuary3 since I have been on a plant-based diet, my blood pressure is lower and is in the normal range and my cholesterol and associated ratios are good. My weight is down by 10kg, I am way more flexible and have a lot more energy.
Eating lots of eggs and meat without sugars has lowered my cholesterol and triglycerides dramatically.
Kenneth Crawford prove it. Sugar has nothing to do with fat. Fat is the issue.
As the Mayo Clinic reports, most healthy people can eat up to seven eggs a week without increasing their risk of heart disease. Studies have even shown that eating between one and three eggs on a daily basis improves HDL levels, which is the good type of cholesterol. HDL helps to remove some of the bad kind of cholesterol (known as LDL) from your arteries, so you want your HDL levels to be high so that they protect your heart.
Of course, everyone is different. Keep in mind that people with diabetes are already at higher risk of heart disease and some research suggests that eating as many as seven eggs a week could elevate their risk even more.
In short, there is research to back both cases. We suggest limiting your egg consumption-whether that's once a week or three times a week-so that you keep your heart in tip-top shape.

Are you on a whole food plant based diet? Your LDL should be between 50 and 70 mg/dl.
@@Snooker-cn3dm nope. KETO!
Don't worry about your LDL being high if your on keto, it's most likely the the fluffy good LDL particle, not the small sticky ldl that gets oxidated by sugar, carbs & radicals. Ask your Dr Doctor for a fractionation test for LDL just to make sure. But most likely since your HDL has gone up, and your Tryglycerides are low and A1c is low. Your good on Keto.
@@Snooker-cn3dm This is an example of how your lipids look on a Keto diet. I would have guessed it. It is perfect. A low Triglycerides to HDL ratio is great. Even better if it is less than 1 like this guy!
with all due respects , please throw some light on people having high cholesterol and blocked arteries despite having spent all their lives on plant based diets. Please take this seriously , as i am coming from India where millions of people die from such diseases despite an overarching culture of vegetarianism. Please help us understand this phenomenon better .
Oils
Plant based diets are different from being vegan although studies show that it’s not what they’re eating that’s killing them in India. Just because your eating a plant based diet doesn’t mean your off the hook. You have to eat the necessary foods and possibly it’s something in the Indian culture food that’s the problem (that’s just my theory)
@@MrPotatoPants326 The indian diet is overloaded with inflammatory cooking oils. Cholesterol is not the only cause of CAD, and in fact it's just a small causal factor. When you damage your arteries, cholesterol adds to the mix, creating the plaques. The rupture of these plaques is the most common cause of heart attack and stroke.
Cholesterol is also made in your body. When you eat oils and other inflammatory foods, your cholesterol raises even without dietary cholesterol. This is because cholesterol helps with the healing of your arteries when they are damaged, but it also hardens them, increasing blood pressure.
The problem with animal products is not limitted to cholesterol, however. They also are high in saturated fat, as Neal Barnard explained. They contain heme iron and other inflammatory nutrients, and they are much more polluted than plants due to bioaccumulation. In short, most of the meat we eat causes both the inflammatory response and the cholesterol raise.
Excess sugar (glucose) relatively to fat and protein is the problem. Excess glucose is the basis of all modern diseases, especially coronary artery disease. Vegan diet unfortunately implies de facto excess sugar (to get enough calories). See Ketogenic diet for optimal health. The more fat (but not inflammatory grain oil fat) the better. Note that you can do keto with a vegan diet if you are a religious person but it is not easy. Last but not least don't believe nutrition associative studies about cholesterol. Read the study and check whether the diet of tested people was including more than 5% of calories as carbohydrates . If so those people were in fact on a high sugar diet hence the artery and other diseases. We cannot look at egg consumption in isolation. If you eat sugar and eggs or anything else, sugar prevails. Sugar is the key variable. Reliable studies should test people on ketogenic diet versus people on high sugar diet (5% of calories as glucose and above).
Refined carbs bad , grains dubious ... mix either with saturated fat bad , mix either with modern seed oils disastrous . We as humans evolved eating fatty Grass fed meat and vegetables .
Im finally getting to understand this
His science is wrong. This study completely *demonizes Fiber (more likely because of Carb + Sugar content) and shows Cholesterol, Animal Protein and Eggs as having the Lowest Risk Factors* for Cardio Vascular Disease. However, the study did not report these findings.
The paper analyzed Data from *6 of the largest Cholesterol Heart Disease studies* between 1985-2016.

• Diabetes had Higher Risk
Other Analysis of Data from 3 of the 6 Studies included in the JAMA Study
*Jackson Heart Study*
After reviewing 4 papers on the Jackson Heart Study, I could find no significant mention of Cholesterol regarding CVD outcomes. This study's focus was regarding CVD disease awareness in the Jackson Community and treatment quality. This paper seems inappropriately cited given the subject of the analysis.

“This study found no evidence of adverse association between dietary cholesterol and risk of CVD among adults with T2DM or prediabetes. In fact, after adjusting for confounding by other lifestyle factors, those with higher dietary cholesterol intakes had a lower long-term risk of developing CVD.”
"Further, there was no adverse association between dietary cholesterol intake and changes in lipid levels (LDL, HDL, LDL:HDL ratio, or triglycerides) over 20 years of follow up in the Framingham Offspring Study."
*MESA Study*
Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis: Biomarkers of Key Biological Pathways in Cardiovascular Disease

“In addition, LDL particle number was a better estimator of atherosclerotic risk when there was discordance between LDL cholesterol (mass of cholesterol carried by LDL particles) and LDL particle number[4].”
“Pentadecanoic acid, a fatty acid biomarker of dietary dairy intake, was inversely associated with incident CVD and CHD, suggesting a potential cardio-protective role for dietary dairy fat. Similarly, trans-palmitoleic acid from dairy fat was associated with lower blood pressure and lower risk of incident diabetes.”

Alamar Fernandez Hi Alamar glad you are getting it, check Doctor Michael Greger How not to die,& NutritionalFacts.org, good luck ignore the unqualified quacks😂🙄Listen to the science👏🏾
@@ceolbeats7182 Not a doctor, here's what the *latest report from the American Diabetes Association* has to say about Fat, Protein, Carbs and Cholesterol, under the "Macronutrient" section:
Nutrition Therapy for Adults With Diabetes or Prediabetes: A Consensus Report
care.diabetesjournals.org/content/42/5/731
*Are Carbs Necessary?*
No, the body makes it's own Carbs when they are absent.
“The amount of *carbohydrate intake required for optimal health in humans is unknown.* Although the recommended dietary allowance for carbohydrate … is 130 g/day ... *this energy requirement can be fulfilled by the body’s metabolic processes,* which include glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis (via metabolism of the glycerol component of fat or gluconeogenic amino acids in protein), and/or ketogenesis in the setting of very low dietary carbohydrate intake (49).”
*Does Reducing Protein Improve Diabetic Health Markers?*
No, Protein positively affects Insulin and blood sugar.
“There is *limited research in people with diabetes or prediabetes without kidney disease on the impact of various amounts of protein consumed* ... A 12-week study comparing 30% vs. 15% energy from protein *noted improvements in weight, fasting glucose, and insulin requirements in the group that consumed 30% energy from protein (61).* "
*Fat and Low Carb Diets (like Carnivore)*
"Eating patterns that replace certain carbohydrate foods with those higher in total fat, however, have *demonstrated greater improvements in glycemia and certain CVD risk factors (serum HDL cholesterol [HDL-C] and triglycerides) compared with lower fat diets.* ”
“Although *the DGA concluded that available evidence does not support the recommendation to limit dietary cholesterol* for the general population, exact recommendations for dietary cholesterol for other populations, such as people with diabetes, are not as clear (8).”
In short, Dietary Carbohydrate is not necessary for Human Health, Protein is a better regulator of Blood Sugar, and Ketogenic Diets have shown the most success in treating Diabetes.
@@ceolbeats7182 it does not take a doctor to see that Barnard is basing his science on epidemiological studies (guesses about food quantities). That is not the main problem. Barnard does not differentiate healthy LDL from oxidized LDL. This alone invalidates all of his arguments against elevating serum LDL levels. He does not even mention how LDL becomes unhealthy. Its like ice skating in army boots. He is all over the place.

There's lot more to upgrade and update our knowledge about lipid profile. 🙏
WOW!
Thank you doc, for this amazing video; God bless🙏
I took one 10 mg lipitor each night for about 15 years and it affected me very badly; I didn't know that was the culprit until it was almost too late.
I was born with Scoliosis and used to have slight back pains when walking, standing and sitting for long periods.
A month after I started taking lipitor I noticed that my back pain got worst but I never thought it was the side effects of lipitor.
My doctor prescribed Motrin tablets for my pain but after a while the pain started going down to my hip, and then the ankle of my left leg. Sometimes I had a lot of pain that prevented me from even getting out of bed. Many times I've forced myself to get into a cab to visit the doctor for an injection to ease the excruciating pain because entering and exiting a cab made me screamed; it was hell! My doctor and I thought that the pains were due to Sciatica and Scoliosis.
Sixteen years later I couldn't raised my arms above my waist and neither take a shower; I could've only used the bidet. I had to wait until my daughter visited on Sundays to give me a shower. I soon realized that I was slowly being crippled. Every night when praying I'd say God, I don't know what's going on but please do something to help me, please, I can't live like this!
One night, lying in bed I wondered what would become of me, what kind of life I'd have, and crying I fell asleep. I dreamt my dad who had passed since 1999; it was a very short dream and with a stern and angry voice he said, why are you taking that damn lipitor! I immediately woke up and couldn't go back to sleep with the excitement of knowing what was causing my pains. I believed in my dreams because they're always straight!
The next day, I visited my doctor and asked if he'd change the lipitor because I think that's what causing my pain. He said no, it's been a while since you've been taking that so it's not that, and then said, you must remember that you're getting older and all these things comes with age. I said doc, I'm telling you it's the lipitor and please don't ask how I know that but it IS! He said I can't change it because I know it's not the lipitor and don't stop taking it because you can get a heart attack/stroke. I said ok doc thank you; I shooked his hand as usual and left his office very disappointed.
I returned home and that very night I abruptly stopped the Lipitor and I didn't care what happened! ONLY 6 days after, I could've taken a shower by myself. I called my daughter and gave her the great news, then made an appointment to see my doctor.
I went to my doctor and said doc, within 6 days I got younger instead of older! I raised both my arms above my head and then behind my back only to show him that I can again raised my arms WITHOUT pain! He watched and smiled then said, what happened, what did you do? I said doc, I stopped that damn lipitor! AND, I'll now tell you why I was so sure that it's the lipitor and I told him my dream. Without hesitation, he wrote a prescription for Crestor 5 mg.
It's 5 years since I've been taking Crestor and so far I've no problem. I can walk, stand and sit for longer periods because my suffering wasn't due to Sciatica/Scoliosis but Lipitor!
I'm so happy that I'm getting younger instead of older, lol. Thanks to my loving dad who's still guiding me; may he Rest In Peace🌹🙏
Most of all, Praise to our Dear Lord because nothing happens without him 🙏🙏🙏🌹
thanks for sharing your experiences.

I agree statins are horrible, the side effects are so bad.

You're wrong! They're both Statins but NOT the same! I don't have pains since am taking the Crestor and NOW my cholesterol is much better. Many people just have to take cholesterol lowering medications. Sometimes a certain medication doesn't work for everyone so you'd have change medications to see which one works for you.
At the end of this month I shall do my blood test and if my cholesterol is still good my doctor told me that I can then gradually stop the Crestor.

Well I was Keto and my cholesterol went up, especially my LDL. I’m off of Keto and now eat a WFPB diet and losing weight. I get blood work in January and will see where I stand.
Keto was probably a better diet than whatever you were eating before. You’re comparing keto to YOUR previous diet, not Keto to a Whole Foods plant based diet. Cholesterol drops even lower in a Whole Foods plant based diet. There’s published case studies of patients dropping A1c to 4.5 on plant based diets, so yours could be lower.
@@franklopeziilmtmti603 so what, doesn’t negate the data. Most people have higher cholesterol on keto than on a plant based diet, that’s just facts.
Just because cholesterol is found at the scene of the crime doesn't necessarily mean it is culpable. That would be like saying that firemen cause fires because every time you see a fire you see firemen.
The better analogy would be smoke. They are finding smoke at the scene. You may wish to dig deeper and look at the radioisotope tracking that has been done on cholesterol and other lipids and their eventual path into cells, tissues, and plaques. It is quite fascinating.

It's protective. It's essential. Statins which lower cholesterol have a very negligible effect on CVD and zero effect on all-cause mortality. Oxidized LDL appears to be a contributor. LDL is not cholesterol, it's a transport container for cholesterol, lipids, proteins and triglycerides.
The culprit of what really causes CVD is so evasive they still haven't figured out the mechanism yet.
Elevated triglycerides are a much better predictor of CVD.

I want to say Dr Barnard ROCKS!!! I can’t think of any other physician that has done more for veganism and plant based nutrition than him! He inspires me BIG TIME. I was proud to support him and PCRM 2 years in a row at AMA getting important resolutions passed. I am a plant based cardiologist and have been obsessed with evidence based nutrition, lifestyle medicine and veganism for 3+ years now (just had my veganniversary). Dr Barnard you was one of the most influential doctors in my decision. We should support Dr Barnard and PCRM. GO PLANTS! Trying to spread the word myself as well via CZcams and other places. Let’s be the change!
I love your work dr Lome. I've learnt loads from your videos. Thank you :)
A cardiologist should know that eating meat has nothing to do with heart disease. The cause is the over-consumption of processed sugar and carbohydrates combined with the consumption of the wrong type of fats (mostly vegetable oils.)
Banished From The Dwarf Planet Then why do the ACC/AHA guidelines for prevention of heart disease (written by dozens of the top cardiologists) recommend plant based diets or provegetarian Mediterranean diets? See here: www.onlinejacc.org/content/accj/early/2019/03/07/j.jacc.2019.03.010.full.pdf
@@DrStevenLome That's the billion-dollar question. You've been in practice for a while, but not as long as I have (I took the liberty of browsing your doximity profile) and you should know very well that eating meat has positively no effect on cardiovascular health. You're an interventional cardiologist, so do you really want clear out your cath lab? I'll be honest with you, I'm becoming more and more suspicious of all you "top cardiologists" telling people to eat these pro-inflammatory foods.
Dr Steven>> From your link:
"All adults should consume a healthy diet that emphasizes the intake of vegetables, fruits, nuts,
whole grains, lean vegetable or animal protein, and fish and minimizes the intake of trans fats,
processed meats, refined carbohydrates, and sweetened beverages. For adults with overweight and
obesity, counseling and caloric restriction are recommended for achieving and maintaining weight
loss."
That seems to back up MY claim in my previous post. Nowhere does it say to eliminate animal food, rather to limit processed carbs and trans fats, just like I said.
Eggs do not make my bs meter shoot up. nor does Bacon.
Old info . There is actually little correlation between cholesterol and heart disease. The cholesterol and calcification of the arteries is caused by Insulin Resistance.
2 questions.
1. What damages the artery in the first place that makes the cholesterol arrive to patch the injury?...Answer...carbs/sugar and chronically elevated insulin levels from eating 6x a day.
2. Diabetics are affected more by cholesterol. What causes diabetes? Eating excessive Carbs/sugars and chronically elevated insulin levels from eating 6× a day.
About 80% of diabetes is caused by dairy.
Lack of exercise is also a major factor.
Hmmm. Looks like only refined carbs are bad.
Still not as bad as milk.
Also a major cause of artery damage is not enough vitamin C.
I would have liked him to go further into this. But really he was there to talk about association and relevant numbers. He made his points but yes I think the real challenge is to identify those who are able to tolerate some cholesterol etc.

Didn't he cite meta-analyses in his presentation as evidence for a plant-based diet reducing blood pressure?
He did actually making his whole presentation and conclusions also questionable.
Meta analysis is considered very high on the hierarchy of evidence, but you have to look at how things were interpreted.
I only have a question about eggs. I have been eating around 90 eggs a month and my cholesterol and triglycerides haven't been high during these years.Adding to that at the same time, a lot of full fat milk and full fat jogurt leaves me with a question mark here

3:11 “Cholesterol is mostly in the lean portion of meat!” This is something I did not know! This should be very concerning to Jack Sprat.
Maybe he needed the cholesterol.
@@swissladydriver8980
We do need cholesterol.
It's in both.
TB1M1 The cholesterol is in both the fat and in the lean.
@@johnparadise3134
So does that make cholesterol bad if it is found in both the fat and lean portions of meat?
Thank you Dr. B! Just went vegan 3 months ago, am a type 1 diabetic, have already lost 13 pounds and feel so much better. Very interested in research you share. You have helped influence my decision to go low fat plant based.
Keep up the good work..people are changing 4 the better.
You’re losing weight because the body consumes its own muscle on a vegan diet. Pretty soon after all the muscle is gone you’ll get nervousness, then it will get so bad you’ll need to eat meat. I ate sardines after being vegan for a year and immediately my entire body calmed down. You need to cut pufa and pretty much all sugar out of the diet, as well as aninutrients and toxins which are found in most plant “foods”.
The vegan diet is a starvation diet. It will destroy your brain or kill you.

Low carb diets, high in fat low in common sense
High ldl leads to more non-fatal heart attacks but high bad cholesterol leads to a longer life expectancy. Not a great thing but not justifying 40 million statin prescriptions.
I have seen professors in lectures saying that 'meta-analysis' is at the top of the evidence. That is clearly incorrect as there are many extremely flawed meta-analyses. They can be insightful but painting the broad brush is incorrect. It is totally reliant on the studies which it contains and their ability to be analyzed as a group.
Good work Doc! Loved all of it. 😊
Yes, we need the truth
To all of you who thrive on a plant based diet I applaud you. Understand that there are those who do not thrive on it and may not like it. I fear the day is coming when the US government will force a Vegan diet on the American people whether we like it or not. And it will all be in the name of climate change.
More probably a bugs and cockroaches diet
Shut up the both of you.
What are other medical conditions that can raise cholesterol? I eat exclusively WFPB for well over a year, absolutely no oil and low salt/sugar but my LDL is very high and even went up over 20 points this past year. I don’t know what more to do. I exercise every day and my BMI is 20. Talk about confusing!!
Don't worry about it if you don't eat seed oils and sugar but you should also avoid bread and rice cos they get converted to glucose. So minus those things means your LDL won't get oxidized which means it won't form plaque in your arteries.
This will explain it all for your

What does WFPB mean?
KIM, other's more and more say, you need to factor in your HDL and Triglyceride scores as well, if those scores are good, than your high LDL, might not be harmful type,
@@flolou8496 Whole Food Plant Based
How were the eggs prepared? We're they boiled or fried and fried in oil, lard or butter? They didn't address that in the study. 12:25 approx.
I prefer my eggs fried in the bacon fat (lard).
@@neilxify &carry it on your body😂😂😂
@@ceolbeats7182 Don’t be silly. You eat them and they supply you with healthy fats, protein and lots of other nutrients to make a strong healthy body. No one gets fat eating eggs fried in butter, lard or olive oil. Avoid the seed oils though - they’re poison.
I went plant based 90 days ago. Gave up meat and dairy and I was already relatively healthy (ate lean meats, veggies etc). I did blood work before and after this change and my results were disappointing. My TC and LDL went up, my HDL improved and my Triglycerides stayed roughly the same. Where did I go wrong???
Come back in 15-20 years and take a mental test and see how well your "brain fog" is.
Use pulses, whole cereals and vegetables in steamed or boiled form with add spices in it keep look over salt and oil intake also. Also fried items and stale food items must be avoided.avoid any high fat, sugar and salty products from outside it is also plant based diet .so not be confused with plant based diet .tae guidance from any Dietician.

@@angiet2190 genetic hyperlipidemia can overcome by dietary changes.
Genetic role of lifestyle disorders can be suppressed by changing environmental factors like good diet etc.

If vegetarian diet was such a panacea, there would be almost no diabetic in India, which has one of the highest incidence of diabetes in the world.
ZAHOORUL HAQ Well only recently since they been eating more animals, not less.Why didnt they have higher incidents of diabetes when they were eating proportionally more plants than animals then compared to today? Same thing with the US and every other country. People fry food and eat more animals now than 100 years ago. I'll give you a hint. Eating animals used to be considered a luxury before factory farming. The fatest people were the wealthiest people then.
Ill grant you being vegan/ vegetariam doesnt mean healthy. Whole food plant based low fat diet isn't your typical vegetarian/vegan diet. Its not enough to be vegan/vegetarian. Whole foods are superior to refined.
Glen M You are ignoring travel and time. People werent going into the woods to kill an animal every time they wanted a meal. 2nd, most people werent hunters. They either didnt live in rural areas or have the time to hunt. You are appealing to the exceptions which is irrelevent. I didnt claim it was impossible. It was considered a luxury then.
It is only becuase factory farms where eating meat is convienent staple now. The less available a resource is the more expensive it is. All anyone has to.do is look at the consumption of food between the wealthy and you averege joe blow. It was the wealthy that had the resources to buy the meat. So unless joe blow had the time and patience to either farm their own animals or hunt them, they bought the meat, which was way more expensive compared to plants. Even most farms had a few animals compared to the crops.
Look at the health of the very wealthy 100+ years ago. They are like your average American today.
Glen M You have no rebuttal, and going off topic. Typical.
@Glen M and nun of that proves that meat is healthy for you
Their food is soaked with oil. High amounts of ghee. The wealthy are eating more and more meat.
There is too much confusing info out there. The people who use keto diet advocate eating eggs, meat, cream, whole milk... and discourage eating fresh and dried fruits. Who is right?
Seekthetruth3000 Keto is the way to go!
great
Amazing in depth video,he answered all questions which came up in mind we did not have to search for other sources to review
You'd do well to hear from other nutritionists, cardiologists and insulin experts. There are widely varying worthy arguments to be had. One thing I'll say: if fat was so bad for you, why does the body store fat and not something else? I can't think why it would store something that's bad for it.
@@Acadia26so by that logic muscles must be really bad for you since it's hard to put on.
Small particle ldl is bad (sugar), large particle (red meat) not so much. Why is particle size not addressed? Are you working for Lipitor or something?
LDL is sugar? No.
@@egidijus6973 You're an idiot. LDL can become oxidized by sugar. This is called the small dense LDL that gets sticky due to sugar and can glog your arteries. Do your research idiot.
Thanks
You could tell from the background sounds that Dr. Barnard was delivering this lecture while his audience was eating, and they probably weren't serving low fat, whole food, plant based meals.
From the audience reaction, such as laughter when appropriate, they are already aware enough to want to eat a healthy vegan diet.
Intoxicated by the waste products produced from burning high carb, low fat diet, so as not to be able to think critically or even remember what was said; not taking notes - in by the one ear, out by the other...
We need more people like this in the world who look out for the greater good.
The funding sources he showed really drives home how the odds are stacked against anyone who believes what most medical reports or doctors say because it’s just not transparent enough for us to make the right choices.
coca coka
Does he push statins as well??
Where is the good doctor's disclaimer about conflicts of interest?
So much nonsense in this video....
Rabka D nearly as bad as the Keto frauds....
Thanks.
What is that clanging sound?
The dishes rattling in the background are driving me insane 🙉 and even phones ringing.... 🤨😠
Lunchtime lecture at a medical convention. Makes me wonder how many of those plates contained the very foods that Dr. Barnard and his research is bad for the health of those doctors as well as all of their patients.
+Babs You know what drove me slightly insane? "Cholesterol is not a nutrient of consumption for overconcern."
@@papparocket are you serious??????? Have you ever been to one? That's part of the lecture, giving them healthy plant based foods for lunch.
Sorry, I had to do the dishes for the next event.
@@tlk2348 you are right, should have looked at the description that this was the PCRM conference and so of course the lunch is going to be a healthy whole food plant based meal. However, sadly normal medical conferences are no different from any other conference in that the meals served are the standard "meat and two veg" that is the Standard American Diet.
Such an interesting lecture from a brilliant person!
It kills me, that the audience eats all the time …
I am still confused are eggs good or bad
Cerry picking is a bad habit
