How to lower cholesterol pdf Videos

Even when  you exclude the bush people the finding is clear:  None or a negative association between high cholesterol and death in heart disease.  Even statin studies have shown increased death rates taking the pills, so the published material instead usually focus on other variables like number of heart attacks, numbers that are less reliable when studies are not double blind as even such diagnoses are subjective.  Googling Seneff to see what Stephanie Seneff says can be an eyeopener.

+Terra Vegan The eskimos are at the heart of meat eating excuses. The truth stings I guess. Thanks for watching :)

+Sea Side They were your starving ancestors as well. Yeah we can try figure out what our ancestors did, and either do it ourselves or find better alternatives. Being an opportunist today, what I do is to see where is the best opportunity for health today. Some people find opportunity in disease and push drugs and supplements, that can be easily derived from a low added fat,added salt,added sugar and a whole plant based diet - obviously the plants that are not toxic to us - like apples, capsicum and beans

+Pankaj Duggal The opportunists were your starving ancestors who had to resort to plants. Most died, but some developed a tolerance to plant toxins.

+Sea Side But hey, why would I wanna do that and negate knowledge of over 5000 years. And this is because we are not herbivores, not carnivores, but not even  omnivores - we can be opportunists and eat what is available right now from around the world, which gives us the best opportunity for a healthy life. Opportunists are smarter because they don't just do what their ancestors did just for the sake of it, but harness the best opportunity

+Pankaj Duggal Yes domestic man modified weeds. Go into a forest and see what you can find to eat.

+Sea Side Thats why I don't eat poisonous plants - I stick to the known added benefit plants like spinach and yummy asparagus

+Pankaj Duggal Are you aware that all food carries risks and benefits ?. Most plants are toxic as they have chemical defenses. Which is why you eat man modified domestic crops that do not exist in nature. You have a - tolerance - to plant toxins, but they are not good.

+Sea Side Well are you aware that eating meat/dairy/fish/eggs increases the risk of getting those diseases - not cool

+Pankaj Duggal no

+Sea Side So are you saying that it is in our nature to get cancer and heart attacks. Thats a pretty bleak pov isn't it

+TRathiest Correlation does not imply causation.Western Europeans tend to have better health care, for instance. Pretty big confounding variable, if you ask me.Also, there is plenty of evidence linking animal products directly with various health ailments. See Dr. Greger and Dr. McDougall, while plant-based diets are associated with the exact opposite.I do think it would be interesting to see a strict paleo diet, or a diet more similar to that of the Inuit compared to a vegan diet in several rigorous scientific studies, though that doesn't exist (as far as I know).

+TRathiest This video is not about that eating meat and fish will cause you to die early. It is about the inaccurate information used by some meat eaters to try prove that eating meat and fish is healthy - and they refer to the Inuit as an example. But the Inuit are not healthy. This video is debunking the idea that "since the Inuit eat a lot of meat/fish, and they are healthy, so meat/fish is healthy" - because they are not healthy

+Pankaj Duggal you didn't address any of my points.

+TRathiest You need to get educated on this. Here is some information on the healthy Inuithttps://youtu.be/6N7Sk1ZRohU

+Pankaj Duggal It doesn't take away the fact the most western European countries as well as Iceland which consume not so low amounts of meat, fish and diary have rather top of the list life expectancy. I feel like the video only focused on two selected populations just so to prove eating meat and fish will cause you to die early like the Inuit while avoiding it is a guarantee for a long life. If you look at other populations the conclusion outlined in this video doesn't seem so obvious.

+TRathiest You are misplacing the frame. This video addresses the false idea that Inuits ate a lot of meat, and that they were healthy, so eating meat is healthy.

+Saisha2012 Its notjust about high doses of vitamin C. Its about micronutrients.

+Thomas Baird Hi Thomas. You've written a lot in that comment. I'll start by recommending Mic The Vegan's YouTube channel. He has addressed a lot of what you have written up there. In particular, dietary cholesterol DOES raise serum cholesterol. Also, the Inuit DO have high rates of heart disease. The French also do not eat as much saturated fat as we think, and those who do, suffer from more heart disease. Mic the Vegan has been looking into the "French Paradox", so I anticipate there will be a video on that soon. I recommend his channel because he references the science and presents it in such an easy to understand way. Here's his channel link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGJq0eQZoFSwgcqgxIE9MHw/videosI enjoy all his videos, but if I could pick just 4 to share with you, it would be these. 1. Eating Cholesterol Doesn't Raise Cholesterol Debunked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBtfzd43t8o2. Worst of the Fat Industry (Nina Teicholz): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmKv1m2SVio3. Eskimo Meat Argument Settled: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6N7Sk1ZRohU4. 5 Ways Meat Causes Cancer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlhJU57KUdQI hope you'll get to check them out, as I'm sure you'll find value in them.I didn't have access to the full study that the Washington post article linked to, but I saw this sentence in the abstract: "We excluded participants with known diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, or other chronic diseases, and those who had extreme values of energy intake". That only leaves relatively healthy people for the researchers to study. So it would seem that high fat dairy products might have a health advantage over low fat dairy, but they left out all those people that could have been negatively affected by it. I wonder what the results would have been if they had included everyone, including those with chronic disease. The study is also a food questionnaire, so it might not be as reliable as you think. You have to be careful with how you read studies. The brain may be made of saturated fat, but this does not mean that we should be consuming large amounts of it. Our body makes all the saturated fat and cholesterol that we need. Regarding Omega 6, I would recommend cutting out all vegetable oil from the diet, as it is a refined food. We can get our Omega 3s and 6's at healthy amounts and ratios through fruits, veggies, grains and seeds (particularly flax, chia and hemp).

+Daniel Huertas Thanks Daniel :) His blog is not that great. I can see how people can be misled by it because he references studies (but those studies can't always prove his point). There is one guy on Facebook, called Jeff Questad. He seems to be promoting a plant based diet, and has managed to not get blocked yet. He has some interesting things to say on in the comments sections of Authority Nutrition's posts.

+juki0h A spike in insulin level is natural after any meal but the blood sugar will only stay high if there is excess fat in the blood blocking the insulin from transporting the sugar into the cell. This is the important thing to remember. I didn't ask anyone to take the fibre away. Even so, Walter Kempner's rice diet was one that consisted of only fruit, rice, fruit juice and SUGAR in unlimited amounts. The patients who were on this diet dropped in their weight, reversed many diseases, including diabetes and kidney disease. I'm not saying that this is the diet to follow, but it does show that sugar is not the culprit. 

+Li-San Loves if you are not eating any fat, then you wont get fat on a vegan diet, thats just pure science. and eating fruits with fiber, wont spike your insulin, try eat ones with high hypoglycemic and see what happens. take the fiber away and see what happens. you see, you discard all the rest of the bad apples and only cherry pick the good ones

+juki0h Okay, you are free to think that. Just be aware that the information you are basing your dietary decisions on is very biased, possibly even more so than research that shows the benefits of a high carbohydrate vegan diet. One of the "origins myths" promoted by the low carb crew is that "We have been the wrong substance all along - really, carbs/sugar are to blame for all sickness and disease". This is a myth that is COMPLETELY CONTRADICTED by the actual scientific data. This myth is made up either from an ignorant analysis of the problem or as lies to sell books and products. I bet these are the kinds of things you think - "Carbs spike insulin, which makes you fat!""Carbs spike insulin, which causes diabetes!""Fructose is toxic and damages your liver like alcohol!""Carbs spike your blood sugar and then cause it to crash, which saps you of your energy. Burning fat for fuel gives you a stable source of energy without all the spikes and crashes".There are many more myths that are perpetuated on the internet and in books that are not checked for accuracy. So, while you may be doing okay on your low carb diet, you are wrong about carbs. If I had diabetes, it would show in my blood test and I would show signs of it in my health. I have no diabetes, nor do I get sudden spikes in energy and lethargy. 

+Li-San Loves nah, ive done my research, saturated fats are not bad for you, vegans have been promoting this for ages, and the truth is finally coming out, sugar should be labeled as a poison, its super destructive to the body. you may look all nice and lean, doesnt mean your healthy. i know lots of skinny diabetic. if you have cancer, or ever do get it, i highly suggest a ketogenic diet

+juki0h Just because the government says so does not mean that it's true. The American government is heavily influenced by the meat and dairy industry. Sugar is not poison but an essential nutrient for our body. Some cancers and diabetes can be treated through a whole foods plant based diet. I think that the only information you are reading is that in books promoting the low carb diet or videos of that nature. You need to broaden your mind.

+steve ricci Regarding our digestive tract, I disagree that it is mirrored to carnivores.  I explained this in my video "Humans Are Herbivores", where I debunk the myth that we are omnivores (we are also not really herbivores). We are more like scavengers who can survive on almost anything we can digest, but will thrive on certain foods, being starches and fruits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGAE9dJPdjEDon wrote an insightful comment on that video:  The human gut is almost identical in morphology and function to that of the spider monkey, which is an "extreme frugivore" that gets ~80% of energy from botanical fruits.  The spider monkey eats almost no animal tissue. Frugivores and carnivore guts are similar in some respects because fruits and meat are similar in some respects namely being high in enzymatically digestible macronutrients.  This is why even educated people frequently confuse the two, particularly when discussing human guts. The idea that humans have a stomach acidity similar to carnivores is laughable.  Human stomach pH does not go as low as that of carnivores.  Nor does the human stomach expand like that of carnivores.  Wild dogs and cats can eat 50-100% of their own body mass in meat at a single sitting; if humans could do this, an average woman would be able to eat 60 pounds of meat at a meal. LOL. Herbivore is a term applied to animals that live on herbiage, i.e. leaves, twigs, etc.  No primate is an herbivore.  All large bodied primates (more than 500 g body size) live on some mix of botanical fruits (including sweet fruits, nuts, seeds, grains, and similar foods like tubers) and tender leaves.  They are either folifrugivores (mostly botanical fruits with some leaves, e.g. spider monkey, human, orangutan, chimp) or frugifolivores (mostly leaves with less fruits, e.g. gorillas, howler monkey). I discussed this at great length in my book Powered by Plants.  There are so many differences between human nutritional physiology and that of carnivores that I had to write a 300+ page book to document them all.  Anyone who is stuck on a false herbivore-carnivore-omnivore trichotomy simply is ignorant of the different physiologies among plant-eating animals who specialize in different types of plants.  ~Don

+steve ricci "Eating high fat and Animal protien has really no effect on cholestoral. It's what you eat ( primarely excessive carbs ) that tells your body to produce too much". This can't be true, according to clinical studies that show the reversal of heart disease in patients fed a high carb low fat plant based diet. Dr Esselstyn's recent study shows this, as well as an older study by Walter Kempner called the Rice Diet. I think being plant based long term is optimal, as long as you are checking your b12 levels, and getting your vitamin D through sunshine, and with Omega 3, as long as you don't eat vegetable oils, you don't really have to get much. There is Omega 3 in flax and chia seed meal or in other plant foods. If your diet is already low in fat, hence low in Omega 6, you don't need a lot of Omega 3 to balance it out. Dr Greger did a lecture explaining this called "40 Year Old Vegan Dies of a Heart Attack". You're right that we need to eat less processed foods and more nutrient rich foods though. I don't doubt that meat eaters can be healthy. I do think that people who eat less of it would be healthier - but this does depend on the person adopting other healthy habits like eating their fruits, veggies and other high fibre foods.A blog that may be of interest to you is Healthy Longevity. Travis goes through a lot of the research done on plant based diets and low carb diets, and also has an article discussing the negative effects of animal foods in populations that don't eat processed food. Another channel I recommend is Plant Based Solution, by Don and Tracy. Don Matesz has written a book called Powered By Plants, which might be useful for your wife to read (even if you're not interested). 

You are informed. Eating high fat and Animal protien has really no effect on cholestoral. It's what you eat ( primarely excessive carbs ) that tells your body to produce too much. I am a carnivore and I am at my healthiest that way. My wife on the other hand is the opposite. Though she needs little meat primarily fish she does better on more fruits and veggies. I truly believe that being a vegan long term (depending on how good you are and getting proper nutrition) is not optimal. We were not genetically designed to live of plants alone. Our digestive tracks are almost mirrored to carnivores not cows, goats ect. I do agree we are not all the same and require different dietary needs. I personally go by how I physically feel after I eat food. If I bloat or feel full too long I limit that food. Meat primarely red has no effect. I can eat 1lb steak and feel hungry in a couple hrs. If I eat a sandwich I feel full most of the day (that is not good). I have found that my dogs respond the same way. I feed them raw food. For the Amino acids and Nutrients They are almost useless by them selves. They need a fat to bind to so they can be absorbed otherwise they go to waiste. CLA in meat is high and needed. Omega 6 to 3 is another issue. Quality of meat males a difference. Omega 3 capsules are not as good as people are told. A 12 wild salmon steak once a week is probably enough. All meats are high in omega 3. But grain fed mest destroys the balance by putting in too much omega 6. Modern grains are empty calories that concert to sugar which eventually will cause issues ( 30 yrs down the road) when our bodies can't compensate anymore. Still today in cultures that live in the wild eating meat and some veggies and roots are extremely healthy with no issues like we have. When they are introduced to modern day living they become ill. Modern examples are American Indian, Hawaiian ect.This conversation can go on for ever but if being a vegan works well for you your lucky you are set. I feel for the rest of the people that get caught in the hype and wrong information. Eat well, easy non processed and eat whole food we would all be Beyer off and no matter what way is correct we will surely last longer.

Thanks for your comment. That's quite a unique experience you have. Did you go fully plant based, without added oils and limiting your intake of higher fat vegan foods? II haven't met many vegans personally, but the ones I have are healthy looking, including myself. I'm subscribed to many vegan channels, and they are very healthy looking people - and some of these people used to be not so healthy looking. Of course, there will be exceptions. You see a lot of sick and obese meat eaters too, so you can't really say that eating meat makes people healthier, if you're using the logic "most all the vegans I see are sickly looking".I often get comments that I look 10 years younger than I am (could also be Asian genes). My skin (which reflects my inner health) went from having severe acne and eczema to almost clear. I'm certainly not perfect, but I'm much healthier now that I'm plant based in my diet. My mum's cholesterol went down after just one week on a plant based diet, although she used it has a detox, rather than a lifestyle. My mum has always had very high cholesterol - it's genetic as well, but she found that plant based worked wonders for lowering it.I don't see how eating more fat and cholesterol would lower your cholesterol to under 150mg/dL (which would make you heart attack proof). Plant foods such as beans and vegetables are great for lowering cholesterol, according to studies, and the vegans I've seen. What do you currently eat, and what is your cholesterol level at the moment? I doubt that people become ill from not eating animal protein - it is always a different reason but they blame it on not eating animal protein. Often it's because of under eating, or they had a deficiency in a certain vitamin or mineral, which is easily corrected with either a B12 injection/supplement or more leafy greens in the diet. Except for vitamin B12 (which is a bacteria and found in our gut and in soil), Vitamin D (from sunlight or from fortified foods) there is not one essential nutrient that can be obtained from meat that isn't in plant food. You said "corrected that with animal protein". Protein is amino acids, and all the essential amino acids are in plant foods in sufficient amounts as long as people are eating enough calories for their body weight. For most people, this is 46-56g protein, and some can do with less. I'm not really interested in changing your diet if you're not open to it, and if you're satisfied with your high protein and higher fat diet, then you are allowed to do that. But I'm not letting you get away with saying that some people need animal protein to be healthy and giving the impression that vegans are more sickly looking in general than meat eaters, when in my experience and observation, it's been the opposite.
