Obscure diets Videos

Come on, man. You're putting up all these comments when you clearly haven't watched the video. It's just rude. Don't comment here if you won't engage the material. I'll block you if you keep this up. Do a little research. Must I do this for you? Fat and dietary fiber intake and colon cancer mortality: a chronological comparison between Japan and the United States. Changes in dietary fiber intake among Japanese in the 20th century: a relationship to the prevalence of diverticular disease.

That's a pretty strange spin to put on the life of a very influential doctor who served the poor of Africa, prevented countless childhood cancers there, taught surgery, and provided prosthetics to the needy. Why would you say he had a "fetish"? You have some personal anecdotes to this effect? His ideas about fiber were much needed then and he influenced many doctors. The stool carries a lot of information even if you think it's gross. Crackpots don't usually receive Lasker awards.

This study calls into question the theories of Dennis Burkitt, but not in a way that's helpful for Gary Taubes. PMID: 17182822 Native Africans still have lower rates of colon cancer that African Americans, despite Native Africans moving to a low fiber diet. The culprit explaining the higher rates of colon cancer in African Americans? "higher dietary intakes of animal products and higher colonic populations of potentially toxic hydrogen and secondary bile-salt-producing bacteria"

Did you not look at what I found for you before you asked me to comment again? I thought that was a sufficient answer. I didn't say they looked at supplements. It's like the 2010 saturated fat meta-analysis I've talked about in two videos. It is too limiting to only consider population studies that look at risk ratios. One must understand the nature of the diet and the nature of the fiber. Read about Burkitt and his hypothesis. It was based on rural Africans and their diets.

The problem is it's an epidemiological study that's observational, and only proves correlation, not causation, with a disambiguation of the Taubes' research.(This is Paleo-troll talk that means you've presented and proven your case, but if I come back at you with what sounds like seriously scientific terms, then we can argue on forever and hopefully, people will miss the fact that eating meat is clearly bad for you.) Paleo folks just don't WANT to hear the truth.

While I agree that fiber is very important, I think that Denis Burkitt was a crackpot who's research was as unrigorous as that of Weston Price. Both men found apparently health populations and, largely based on ideas they had already formulated, attributed their health to just one thing: fiber and fat soluble vitamins respectively. Burkitt also had a major scatological fetish, and would ask men if they knew the size of their wife's stools and other gross stuff.

Fallon and Enig say: 'Insoluble fiber can cause pathogenic changes in the intestinal tract unless properly soaked in an acid medium.9' The study which they selected has absolutely nothing to do with "proper soaking." The researchers fed rats 4 different types of fiber and observed the effects on intestinal microvilli. The WAPF has a knack for colorfully interpreting studies I must say. Thanks to the commenter "Jaclyn" for pointing this out.

As llwayneio said, this really has no bearing in their recommendations. My own view is that their assessment of this issue is probably flawed in the way that most studies of fiber are flawed. Burkitt didn't say that fiber was protective regardless of its nature and regardless of the nature of the rest of the diet. Look at these, for example: pubmed/23719549 pubmed/22136517 pubmed/19741203

According to you? Give me a break. Diet and other risk factors for fissure-in-ano Dr. S. L. Jensen M.D., Ph.D. "Significantly decreased risks were associated with frequent consumption of raw fruits, vegetables, and whole-grain bread, and significantly increased risks were associated with frequent consumption of white bread, sauces thickened with roux, and bacon or sausages."

but why would you want to write such a reply? did i state that fiber consumption is bad or not good? why would you want to write such an elitist comment? i do not need to start eating fruit since i'm practically almost a fruitarian for the past half year or so and vegetarian (what people would call "vegan" i just do not like that word) for a lot longer than that

Look up the free publication from the National Academies Press for the full story. Dietary Reference Intakes for Energy, Carbohydrate, Fiber, Fat, Fatty Acids, Cholesterol, Protein, and Amino Acids (Macronutrients) "Functional Fiber consists of isolated, nondigestible carbohydrates that have beneficial physiological effects in humans."

nope... very time consuming. since you've already taken the time to educate yourself properly in this subject i thought it would be easier for you to give a short explanation. and i didn't ask about supplements because you said so... i just guessed that could be it since i remember you talked about it one (or more) of your videos.

BMJ. 2011 Nov 10;343:d6617. doi: 10.1136/bmj.d6617. Dietary fibre, whole grains, and risk of colorectal cancer: systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of prospective studies. A high intake of dietary fibre, in particular cereal fibre and whole grains, was associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer.

Current Treatment Options in Gastroenterology 2003, Volume 6, Issue 3, pp 257-262 Chronic anal fissure Miguel Minguez MD, Belen Herreros MD, Adolfo Benages MD Conservative measures to avoid constipation, including fiber intake, are useful to improve symptomatology, achieve healing, and reduce recurrence.

Robert Lustig always says the sugar is the "bad" part of the fruit, and the fiber is the "good" part of the fruit? If that's truly the case, then why eat fruit at all? Why not just take a fiber supplement? I think many of the low carbers are guilty of reductionist thinking.

thanks! will check the research in your comment. Why do you think their assessment is flawed? because of a research using say supplements? if so then it is still very interesting why their assessment regarding other ailments and fiber have not been revised.

If you're asking this, I don't think you're understanding my videos. I say many times that the physical form of the fiber is key. Did you not watch Evolved Fuel System? Also, different plant foods have different properties and assets.

Gary begins his chapter on fiber with an ironic quote: "The thing is, it's very dangerous to have a fixed idea. A person with a fixed idea will always find some way of convincing himself in the end that he is right."

This is interesting since as far as i know fiber causes your sh!t to look like a puddle since it is not as firm as sh!t with no fiber. but hey! you said it then it must be true!

Gary claims that we should model our diets around hunter-gatherers. Don't you have a video talking about the extreme fiber intake of several HG groups (>100 g per day)?

That is very interesting! I have lived many years in europe (norway) and do not recollect such a custom amongst europeans :| But if you say so then it must be true!

i dont know... i tend to take HSPH's recommendations pretty seriously so it really does seem there is a weak link between colorectal cancer and fiber consumption.

Glad to see you put out more brilliant videos. last week u had replied back to me saying u get into the French Paradox. Which video is it that gets into that?

I deduce that Plant Positive is an excellent NIH scientist. He's very intelligent, has excellent use of speech and can argue succinctly without smugness.

PP already mentioned that the HSPH promote a high fiber diet, if you take their recommendations seriously you should start eating more fruit and veg.

Did you even watch the video? Are you just trying to get in a free ad here? Your claims are ridiculous and I doubt you can find any support for them.
