The problem is his personal mentors seem to have not taken B12 which may have been the problem: according to Fuhrman himself Dr Herbert Shelton had the lowest B12 level he had ever seen in a person when he was elderly; Dr Vivian Vetrano was against B12 supplementation and wrote entire articles saying it was wrong to supplement; Joy Gross on the other hand was very much involved with natural hygiene, raw foodism and fasting and her stance on B12 is unknown to me. Despite all this all three of his mentors basically reached their nineties: Shelton 89 years and a few months; Vetrano 91 years; and Gross almost 96 years.

@@RickyVis Did you even check the claims of the video. Vegans who eat a selection of these sources of Omega 3 do not show deficiency in Omega 3 and vegans generally rarely do. Worry about your own deficiencies rather than false accusations about diets that you are unfamiliar with. The majority of studies have shown that there is little difference between blood markers for omega 3 in omnivores, vegans and vegetarians. However, omnivores, on average, have higher levels of overall fatty acids than either vegetarians or vegans. The problem for many omnivores is that they get too much omega 6 in their diet, a significant number have a large excess of omega 6. For optimal health there should be more omega 3 than omega 6.

In the US the ratio is over 20 to 1 and many have a ratio of 50 to 1. The reason for this is all the seed oil that is now in almost all food which are high in Omega 6. Even eggs that used to be rich in Omega 3 now have an Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio of 15 to 1 due to chickens being fed Soy which is very high in Omega 6.

Vilifying seed oils is a tactic the animal slaughter industry uses along with all the other nonsense to keep their profits up despite the growing popularity of veganism. "Use lots of lard, tallow and butter" the slaughterers say....ka-ching! To counteract high omega 6 in typical diets all one needs is a heaping tablespoon of milled flaxseeds and/or another source of omega 3 like chia oil or algal oil(for DHA & EPA) which brings the omega 3 up. Omega 3 and 6 are both great for human health, but yes the balance should be 1 to 1 or so, not 20 o-6 to 1 o-3. I get about 2 to 1 with omega 3 being the higher because of the flax, chia or algae sources. A T. of safflower oil to fry my veggies does no harm. And there's nothing wrong with organic soy products either unless one has an allergy...I love 'em and am very healthy (15 years vegan, 50 years using soy).

@JGreen9361 Partly correct but clearly an anti-animal based food narrative as the plant-based Omega3 you are referring to is not bioavailable. Of course, we are all entitled to our "opinions" and to follow the "science" that we see fit but that "science" may or may not be substantiated by facts. Just to put things in context, I am an experienced clinical/research scientist with years of experience in observing and assessing the relationship between biomarkers and health outcomes withing a clinical setting. You have to be mindful of obtaining the information "you want to hear" from biased sources. The form of Omega 3 from plants is mostly ALA and has to be converted to DHA/EPA as mentioned. That rate of conversion is at around 5% or so at BEST (let's say sub 10%) even in humans who have the most optimal genetics for that biochemical pathway. I'm not sure which part of that is not clear. It's a biochemical fact and we observe the impact of deficiencies everyday at the hospital where I work. That hospital takes care of an area with a population of around 2 million with a majority of plant-based Asian migrants (mostly Hindus who practice veganism as part of their faith). They are by far the most affected by all forms of metabolic disease including T2DM, high BP, frailty, anaemia, dementia and other forms of brain impairment, autoimmune conditions and cancer. This is not something that we unbiased professionals just "make up" in support of unprocessed animal based food. It's a fact. Importantly as well, as I mentioned in many other comments online, the DHA/EPA found in algae/plants is in the SN1/SN3 molecular configuration. It is present in the SN2 configuration in animals (e.g. fish that eat the algae) and this is the form that allows the most optimal brain cells penetration so it can act as a quantum molecule and convert photons into electrical signal (critical for brain function). You should refer to the lectures of Dr. Michael Crawford to understand this in more details. The issue with the plant based narrative is that it constantly plucks "half-truths" out of context just to be able to support the ideology. There are many examples of that disingenuous and non-scientific approach which I have described in length on many other plan-based channels (e.g. IGF-1 and all cause mortality, the Arachidonic acid pathway and inflammation, the role of saturated fat on the TLR4 receptors and the promotion of insulin resistance via the downregulation of the Glut4 receptor)...you can't miss my comments if they are still around as they are the longest and in parts (PART (1), (2) etc.)..they tend to disappear on channels such as Plant Chompers/Mic the Vegan etc. My responses also stop posting on many plant based channels after a few comments (maybe flagged as spam due to their frequency/length...I don't know)...so bear that in mind if you don't see any responses from me.

If I'm on a workout program for strength training I'm sceptical how this could help me maximize my strength and muscle without meat/eggs/fish because of lack of lysine. On the other hand no doubt when I eat enough fresh salads (paprika, onions, celery etc) I feel very good.

There was a man on chef AJ who told us to eat very low fat. Im assuming Peter rogers is wrong about the bad effects of omega 3 fats. I assume you’re correct about it because he does seem like a troll to me. Doesn’t seem like he’s doing it for the people. Im going to buy your EPA and DHA supplement. I’ll haft to test it out, thanks for the clarification on this matter.
@Nina-hk7ubАй бұрын
Dr. Rogers isn't a troll. He says that the extensive readings he's done on research points to not eating omega-3s. Maybe peruse the research yourself to make an informative choice.
@julioandresgomez3201Ай бұрын
I think both are partly right. If you've been eating carelessly for years (or decades!) you can benefit from going very low fat for some months to clean and clear the body. However at some point you have to start eating some fats like walnuts to keep the body going at full power.
