Wow! This is amazing! I’m experimenting with stearic acid saturated fat diet, and I’m finally losing some weight. I don’t have a lot to lose, but my Dad was obese and died of a heart attack in front of me, devastating. I am turning 50 this year and am trying hard to get healthy. Thank you for your videos.

What a remarkable talk, now I really know why I must not eat man made vegetable oils. Thank you Michael.

There are groups who are not going to like hearing this message. Farmers who grow soybeans, wheat and rapeseed (canola oil). Big agribusiness which puts soybean oil and sugar in damn all everything. And the pharmaceutical industry that wants you taking meds for your Type 2 diabetes.

This is an original synthesis of ideas. I think that it helps that he had an engineering undergraduate education. He clearly understands the mechanisms at work and artfully explains the processes and interactions. Life is basically electricity.

These questions mirror my own life experience. I am 80, overweight and diabetic. But when I was a young boy of 8-10 years old I only knew one person who was diabetic, my Grandmother's sister and she was quite large. Other than that I never heard about diabetes. I don't remember seeing many fat people either. Fat people stood out and kids would stop and stare at them. All the kids in my neighborhood (and there were a lot of us) were normal weight and I was one of the skinny kids. When I rode the school bus going to highschool I don't remember one fat kid. That was then and this is now. What a difference.

I got lost a bit in the middle but caught up by the conclusion. Why do these people not have Nobel Prizes?

My health started to deteriorate around the time I started to eat foods from restaurants on a regular basis; the use of vegetables oils is the one factor that changed from my usual diet We have always used Olive oil for cooking our foods at home. That and the habit of getting my healthy (so naive of me)freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juice. A few years after I have ballooned t o a 30 kg overweight and sick person. Six months after cutting on carbs and no more vegetable oils I have dropped almost 26 kg and gone off my meds. Keto is really great!

so literally Long Chain Saturated Fat is the ONE thing that will both tell our cells to stop stock up on energy and getting bigger AND stimulate the generation of new mitochondria which literally is what increases metabolism, whilst Glucose and Unsaturated Fat literally do the opposite where the cell will just take in energy and grow disproportionately. I am so glad someone finally dared to go to the fundamental molecular and atomic level to explain this and in such approachable understandable way, and it makes me even more mad towards doctors and the food industry who must understand these fundamental blocks of energy synthesis yet they tell us to ditch the sat fat in favour of unsaturated!!!

So good! I felt like he should have just dropped the mic at the end.

I'm really glad to see Dr. Eades is still doing talks. Protein Power brought me on board and his presentations are so clean they practically plug into my brain and upload knowledge.

This video is so packed with vital information have to watch it two times at least. Fantastic post. Shame on the AMA and Harvard Med School for promoting poisonous seed oils. How many millions have died from eating the way they promote. Absolutely criminal.

Yeah, my family NEVER ate out when I was a kid either! I can remember my parents asking me where I wanted to eat out for my birthday. I said McDonald's. Eating out at a fast food restaurant was a treat.

When I was in high school, 1960s, small town, 300 students total, there was one overweight student, and by today's standards she would be "big and beautiful." In college -- early 70s -- in my major department there was one overweight male student, now deceased. That was it.

Spectacular communicator. Loved this. Thank you!

just seeing Dr.Eades in the video title of the new topic make me excited. bc his last "paleopathology... " lecture is priceless.

The world needs an oil change!

Fascinating 43 minutes - fantastic!

How doesn't this video have more views?

Mind BLOWN. Not what I was expecting at all but extremely informative, excellent talk.

The problem may be even worse due to feeding corn to farm animals. I am seeing reports showing that feeding corn products to farm animals increases the level of linoleic acid in their fat. So even if you try to stay healthier by eating more meat, the bad oils are still getting into the food chain.

Simply a fascinating lecture. I was keep up until he got to the chemistry aspect but one can’t understand everything. But the conclusions are clear and concise. Thanks Doc!

Simply brilliant. A lot of the broader strokes explanations now make more sense with Dr Eades' deeper explanations. Thank you.

i noticed something in my body when i started eating more fat. My eyes is not so dry anymore. my dry eyes has been bothering me for awhile, but this morning, my eyes feels better. i have been doing keto for a month now, and plan to eat more fat.

Wow! This is the most incredible presentation I can remember watching. I'm gonna have to watch it at least a few times, I rarely watch any more than once.

Butter and lard and beef tallow. That's the way to go.

This was a very fascinating speech. Worth watching 'till the very end!

You Sir deserves a million views

All he had to say was "Petro Dobromylskyj" and I would have given a standing ovation.

Absolutely brilliant!! I always enjoy Dr Eades' lectures!!

Always informative to hear Dr. Eades.

This would be why when foreign exchange students come to America for a year and gain weight and then when they return home, they lose the weight. Very interesting!!!

Wonderful lecture! It is amazing how much knowledge this man has, most of it is far beyond my understanding. It is good to challenge yourself and continue learning. Thank you for the information.

This was absolutely amazing. So insightful and educational. Fantastic. Thanks for posting this 🙏🙏🙏

This is such an amazing talk! Thank you so much for the work being done and sharing this.

This is an incredible presentation. Just wow. Thanks so much to Dr. Eades.

12:00 In Australia around the back of one hotel and the back of one restaurant I saw large empty tins of cottonseed oil. Cottonseed oil which is a GMO (because cotton is not food, it didn't get a lot of scrutiny). And i believe Fish and Chip shops use it a lot.

Eating out is a disaster. Even the high end use seed oils in their salad dressings, sautéed vegetables, etc. I only eat out when traveling but only get grilled meat and that is it with specific instructions not to use any oils with the meat.

Great presentation on the mechanism of Saturated fat and Reverse Electron Transport. Really drilling down into the detail of hunger and nutrient requirement signalling to the cellular level

My understanding is the liver will produce all the glucose we need. We don't need to eat any carbs for that.

"With the progress of knowledge the needs of the human body have not been forgotten. During the last decade much time has been given by scientists to the study of foods and their dietetic value, and it is a subject which rightfully should demand much consideration from all. I certainly feel that the time is not far distant when a knowledge of the principles of diet will be an essential part of one's education. Then mankind will eat to live, will be able to do better mental and physical work, and disease will be less frequent." from the Introduction to The Boston Cooking School Cookbook by Fannie Merritt Farmer, 1896. -- oh, Fannie, how right though wrong you were. We CAN change the habits of this lifetime however ...

In my 300-student high school in mid 1960's there was one badly overweight student, a girl. There was one chubby boy, and that was it. He later went on to get a gastric bypass. I don't know about her.

I must say as a Health coach here in nyc AND I AM NOT A LOW CARBER WHATSOEVER, this may be the best talk I ever heard on the true cause of obesity! I have been teaching this for years ...He almost got it right! He was so close ...When Dr Eades spoke about the sororities and Frats and people in general pre 1960 and had the wonderful old pics to prove it he mentions they were not low carbers! and this is TRUTH!! Its not necessary at all to cut carbohydrate intake! Just raise your sat. fat and watch the inflammatory oils--the Polyunsaturated fats! This is the secret! Fats and carbs combine beautifully for health energy and fat loss fitness etc... BRAVO DR. FANTASTIC TALK!!!!

Clarification - In the 1950s, it would have been highly unusual for people to have toast for breakfast. Instead, toast was eaten with breakfast, and was eaten with plenty of real butter and to soak up the bacon, ham, or beef fat the eggs had been cooked in, and the egg yolk from the plate.

Holy wow! I remember mixing my vegetable oil (3/4 cup...??) with the white vinegar and Italian dressing mix and giving our salad a bath in it..nearly every night we had "good for you" salad and whole wheat bread....with Country Crock spread....no "artery clogging" butter in my kitchen! We reduced salt, we reduced fatty meats...all in the mid to late 80s - the years I got pregnant twice and raised my kids on this way of eating until I got smart only a few years ago. :(

You are so informative and entertaining. Thank you

Yes I asked my Chinese restaurant what they use for oil in preparing there food dishes . The waitress said Vegetable oil , of course I must of looked disappointed - I know I wasn't happy . Being on Keto knowing that stuff is man made garbage . She looks at me & says " That's good Ok " ? Of course I didn't go into details cause of the language difference .

I agree with this gentleman about all he says except that all the food we have now is poisoned with hormones, antibiotics roundup, insecticides and hell knows what else and this is not considering the fact that there are no minerals in any food due to mass farming.

Reverse Electron Transport is huge. Beef tallow rocks.

LCDU have some great videos but this was phenomenal!

OK, that's the missing link. Many thanks, Dr Eades.

Great lecture

Wow. Thank you. I enjoyed this vary much. Great info.

INCOMPLETE NOTES, BUT IMPORTANT TO WATCH STARTING AT 33:50 "...and this is the crux of this whole thing..." Fascinating and NECESSARY to understand... "and if you divide those out you come up with 0.48 and that's an important ratio because that's saturated fat and that's highly generative of reverse electron transport. Remember FADH's all come about from electron transport. Don't have to make a double bond. a couple of enzymes who twist it around after running all FN ratio 0.45. Just showing that oleic acide 0.46, linoleic acid 0.43

Absolutely incredibly informative video jammed packed with high level useful chemical processes involved in mitocondrial function. Can't thank Eades enough for this rapid paced and eye opening discussion! Well done under heavy time constraint.

Thank you for this video 👍

probably the best video ive seen good job

Best nutrition presentation i have seen

I remember eating a spinach and bacon salad then I was taught it was a no-no. Great now I can eat it again.

I love Dr Eades!! Him and his wife are geniuses!! Now I can do the croissant diet with stearic acid and butter & cocoa butter with assurances of success!!

When I heard that we ate 20% MORE calories in the UK in the 1960s - 70s than today I knew something was seriously wrong. Then I remembered, nobody ate between meals and dinner was between 5 and 6pm, VERY few people ate breakfast, people hardly ever ate out and everything was done with butter and lard, lashings of it - and all stodgy, filling grub too, deep fried, roasted and without a thought of "low fat". Not saying it was perfect but hardly anybody was fat - and if they were they were greedy as hell.

It should be mentioned that in the 1940s and 50s, breakfast was eggs and meat: bacon and eggs, ham and eggs, steak and eggs, or pork chops and eggs. Anyone remember the Dr. Seuss book 'Green Eggs and Ham'? The toast was used to soak up the egg yolk and the delicious fat from the plate, so nothing was wasted.

Logical. Thank you.

Great info. Thanks for the video ! I have also just looked at the tables in the study and I noticed that the macronutrient composition of each meal is quite different especially for BMP, BFF and FFF. BMP is much lower in fat and carbs compared to FFF, meaning lower calories per unit of weight. That means that those who ate BMT also ate a bigger amount of food than those who ate FFF. The increased food amount for the BMT could be the reason the meal was more satiating instead of the hypothesis explained in the video or, it could be a part of the satiation mechanism, besides what was explained in the video. Yet, if I look at BFF, they had a medium amount of food, but the highest caloric intake. They did not have any fat added, as far as I understand, so I can't compare it with the other 2. Still, it was more food than the BMP, yet much more total calories were eaten, suggesting that the food amount is not, or not the only satiating factor giving credit to the insulin resistance and SFAs hypothesis. It is still worth mentioning that BMP is mashed potato while BFF are baked French fries and maybe the kids were simply more inclined to eat more of the French fries due to cultural or other reasons. One last note, the pasta meals had the largest amount of food in grams so if the actual amount of food were the only regulator of satiety, then the kids should have consumed the least calories from this meal, which is not the case. Clearly there's more to it that actual food amount.

no more veg oil from today...but how can we convey this to other doctors..they are busy...

Brilliant talk that explains a lot to a chemistry nerd like me. Thanks so much. Edit: Must add, regardless of how much you understand, the final recommendations are right on the money. :-)

Information Bomb!!!

Oooh!…the recommendation to use bacon grease as salad dressing😬. Caution!!! He didn’t say, but bacon and grease only if it is from wild pastured animals. Conventional fed animals have very high Linoleic Acid content.

My Mother in Laws refuses to eat Vegetable oil and brings her own dressing when we go out to eat. She always orders Salad.

Saturated=Stable; why did we get tricked into thinking it's bad for us? Someone wanted to promote the use of lamp oil for food at the expense of our health I guess.

I always enjoy your talks Dr Eades, not to poke a whole in your hypothesis but everyone grew up reading Asterix in the 70's and allot of these people believe you just pop down to your doctor who will prescribe a magic pill. If you look you'll find the landslide of prescription medication tracks with weight gain as well.

One of the best, intellectual presentations I have ever seen. I want to see him speak again!!

Best explanation of RET!

Great video.

Love this

This is very illuminating. It makes sense on the timing when or modern society started increasing in obesity. I think a combination of things came together to create the perfect storm. They took foods n added vegetable oil, hydrogenated it, added msg, sugar, high fructose corn syrup n made it very addictive. I remember I couldn't stop eating doritos. Only reason I did is the bag was empty. I'd drink pop like it was going out of style. I'd drink milk the same way. I would go to a miraid of restaurants n eat fries burger n pop etc. I could eat two double whoppers n large fries. I'd go to 7-11 n get a big gulp n Nachos with cheese. I'd eat n eat. No wonder I got to 500 lbs. I finally read protein power book n made a change n it saved my life. I've lost over 240 lbs. I don't desire all those foods any more. the only thing is I wish they could figure it how to reverse insulin resistance. After hearing this I am no longer going to eat canola oil etc in my dressing mayo etc. Thanks Dr Eades for all you've done.

Is there access to your powerpoint slides somewhere please? thanks Dr. Michael !!!

I noticed this a few years ago...Ever watched an old episode of a tv game show from the 60s and 70s? Compare them to now.

that was really eye opening

Essentially then, is he saying that due to reverse electron transport, which is significantly increased through the avoidance of vegetable PUFAS, and increased through consuming stable saturated fats, that even when you consume glucose, if you have it with a fat which efficiently induces reverse electron transport, which as we know, protects the cell against adipocyte hypertrophy, you can consume some carbohydrate and it will not be an issue? because RET (reverse electron transport) spares glucose molecules and allows them to be utilised by the tissues which indefinitely need some glucose at all times, and even once that has occurred, any remaining glucose will maybe enter the muscle cells and be stored as muscle glycogen?. Thoughts?

This new hypothesis is interesting. What Dr. Eades has presented makes sense to me, as I've experienced plateau when I had salad dressings and sauces w/ some soybean oil (as I assumed organic ones would be fine) I've become successful on weight loss again recently, after removing all those dressings and sauces. Low carb is definitely a huge factor for our health, but it is a part of the whole equation. It's important to get healthy fats as well! I may sound like a keto police, but they really do matter to your wellness.

Thank you very much for the important presentation! I want to ask 2 questions: 1. Would it be correct to say that our cells are like our bodies (actually it's the opposite....)? Saturated fat makes them full and satiated, declining from eating any more. And the omega 6 makes our fat cells obese, not knowing when to stop. 2. The whole part about mitochondria is about making the cell's own energy. So when it has enough, it rejects any more. It has no storage role or capability. But when talking about the fat cells, it is not about its private energy, it's about its role as a storage "warehouse". Aren't these separate functions? It's like saying that if the warehouse workers are full they won't let any more stuff into storage...you yourself said that something unknown tells the fat cells to stop expanding at some point. Maybe it's that mechanism which went wrong?

Fascinating hypothesis. Seems like this could be tested fairly readily with trials varying the FADH2/NADH ratio based on fat source intake. Does anyone know if this has been done?

Well, this was interesting.

Only contradiction I see is how he talks about how obesity rose after the 70s but still says he believes that carbs make you fat. Low carb wasn’t a thing until Robert atkins.

The diagram at 29.44, is it dotted to mean this route is closed in this example? I am having trouble understanding the spoken explanation of the diagram.

The part at 41:30, about ectopic fat perceived as foreign... that is very interesting. Could fat be a factor in delayed healing?

@26:30. "we produce our body weight in ATP each day" Wow

Hello Dr Michael Eades, excellent presentation. Are you sure about the amount of ATP produced by the body per day? Would also recommend people change to Palmitic Acid oil or High Oleic Sunflower oil (HOSO) for cooking?

Gosh! This makes so much sense!!! I wonder if the cellulite that we see in women is a similar function to visceral fat?

Brilliant

sorry guy, my family came from Tennessee, and wilted salad dressing was bacon grease AND water with melted sugar in it, mixed together (sweet and sour) with a splash of vinegar.

At 13:00 minutes there's a table of oils and their fat content. Dr Eades uses it to compare the linoleic Acid content of Canola oil, soybean oil and beef fat. He does not mention the oil at the top: 'My Organic Sunflower Oil', with only 4% PUFA's. That isn't normal for sunflower oil (linoleic sunflower oil has 69% further down the table) so what is that product? And is it good for you if it is so low in linoleic acid?

First few minutes seems very anecdotal. I have a great picture of my entire family from 1956. My grandfather was overweight and smoking. He subsequently lost weight, stopped smoking and lived to be 95. Not science, just a story.

we cycle the same 250 grams of ATP through or system to the equal of our body weight.

We need to convince McD’s to return to frying their potatoes in beef tallow.

Near the end, when Dr/ Eades talks about wilted salad, aka wilted greens, it does not just have to be bacon. Our family has used chicken and drippings from chicken to wilt salad greens far more often than bacon. Beef is another excellent choice. Along with bits of the meat, and maybe a few nuts, or crumbled cheese, a salad wilted in animal fat is a delicious meat. It fits the paleo and lchf, and keto diets. Without the cheese for paleo, maybe... though there is evidence that early humans killed the 'fat and sassy' adult animals- which were often lactating females - and enjoyed the udder and milk. Raw milk, or naturally cultured, of course; not highly processed like the milk in supermarkets, with all the vitamins - including Vit C, D, K, A, - and the beneficial enzymes and probiotics intact. The casein was unaltered by processing, and it was the A2 type casein, not the mutated A1 casein found in most all commercial milk.

I’m wondering if there’s a correlation with obesity, veg oils and caffeine consumption per capita.

He looks good for 71yo!

Off topic but what about BPAs? BPAs, used in lots of plastics (including baby bottles and canned-food can linings), have been shown to convert muscle cells into fat cells in fetuses. If you're born with more fat cells, you'll be fat when they are told to store fat after eating.

What does he conclude about oleic acid? Is he saying that some of the energy will be stored in the cell, just not all of it?
