Thanks 👍

Thank you for the information. I learnt a lot. Keep up the good work.

Yes, thanks for posting! I couldn't have said it better myself! All these excellent doctors you've mentioned have some very opposing views. Yep: Who are we to believe? A debate would be great! Until then, what we have to work with are what they do agree on: stay with eating whole foods, and cut down on sugar and processed/junk food.

What was the key

@@POLOLIT- A carnivore style diet with no processed foods

Meats are all processed food unless you're raising or buying organic local

@@lukeweaver9287 I suppose technically you are correct, the process of killing, skinning and butchering could be called processing. I tend to think that unless the meat has been altered it is not processed. So all vegans who don't grow their own veggies are also eating processed foods?

I thought so...could only be done by being carnivore! No bloating or gas, gray hairs reversed, mental clarity, zen-like calmness, well-fed brain with good fat ... Great life!

That’s because they treat you after getting sick they are not interested in keeping us well

1922?

My favorite "fatty plant" atm is toasted blanched hazelnuts, just divine 😹 add to your list: seeds, berries, and leafy greens. I use the blender for fresh leafy greens and frozen, cut green (really, white) cabbage and cold water. Only way I get enough leafy greens in my daily diet.

Do you mean 2002?

@@shanDalicous i sure do!

@@peter5.056 good for you! Keep up the healthy living! I transitioned to whole foods plant-based eating in 2019 and I still absolutely love it!

Yeah i try to add turmeric to my rice (tsp and a pinch of pepper) in a boiling pot of rice. It makes the rice have an earthier taste and you get used to it after a while. Otherwise i cant stand turmeric, my grandma swears by it and she grows acres of it on her farm back in east asia. I get a giant pot of her turmeric grounded at her farm every year for christmas lol

But doesn't it also inhibit iron absorption...?

@@a_teez8913 it is turmeric dose dependent, so it is usually not recommended to take iron supplements with turmeric supplements. I don’t know how much iron absorption is reduced when turmeric is taken at a doses found in whole spices. Also iron absorption can be significantly increased when taken with vitamin C. I need to further research this to find how much effect this has when turmeric is consumed as a spice. I remember one study showing 20% to 90% reduction in iron absorption depending on turmeric dose, don’t remember if it was turmeric supplement or the spice. I guess we can make sure to consume turmeric separately from foods high in iron. For iron supplements, most of them are recommended not to take after meal or with other supplements. On the other hand, in case of iron build up in the body, turmeric can be useful to reduce excess iron (turmeric supplements have shown to reduce iron build up by chelation, and it is considered best supplement to reduce iron build up. (Reduction in absorption of iron by turmeric is a different phenomenon than reduction in build up of iron by turmeric, in the former case, it just stops the absorption by binding with some peptides responsible for iron absorption, while in the latter case, it chelates already built up iron). By the way, excess iron is also not good, as it oxidizes which can cause diseases. Absorption of non-heme iron is regulated by the body, but heme iron absorption cannot be regulated and can cause buildup.

Plant based diet makes me hold water and look bloated in the face. I’m being honest here

@@kevinwilson3337 I think that you should listen some of the episodes of to Dr. Will B, one of the guests today who is an expert in the area of microbiome. Bloating May be related to dysbiosis of gut microbe. Meaning your gut may not have microbes to effectively process plant foods (fiber). In that case, you need to introduces plant based foods very slowly (go very slow over weeks) and build up your gut microbes (increase the variety of microbes). Avoiding plant foods removes symptoms such as bloating but it only increases dysbiosis further according to Dr. B. (One needs to go towards what is known as symbiosis). Suddenly going to full plant based when your gut is not ready is like doing heavy exercise without prior training. One needs to slowly build up to such an exercise. That is according to Dr. B’s prior answers to those who have gut symptoms upon consuming plant based foods. You can check out his previous interviews, or ask your own question when he is live next time (he is a monthly regular on Exam Room Live).

Medications ?

@@saralopez9514 I was taking some and saw doctors for a year but it was a diet change that fixed everything, no medications for me anymore :)

Saturated fat turns into cholesterol. Attia is wrong for saying what you eat doesn't turn into cholesterol. I challenge you to make a video where you eat only bacon, 3x a day for a whole month & get your cholesterol checked after.

You need the reality check. L.DL stands for low density lipoprotein. Cholesterol is defined in the dictionary as: a steroid alcohol C27H45OH that is present in animal cells and body fluids, regulates membrane fluidity

You may be an outlier or perhaps you exercise a lot to counteract the negative effects of the cholesterol you're ingesting. Consumption of cholesterol, however, is NOT GOOD for anyone. PERIOD!

Black pepper improves absorption of turmeric.
