Should you eat the 'oldest' foods in the world?

Are the foods our ancestors have been eating for the longest time the healthiest for us? Is the govern trying to stop us from eating them?!

There is growing mistrust in institutions and authority figures. Some of that mistrust is warranted but people take it way too far and connect too many dots.

[Moroccop]

As usual unbiased sensible argument supported by balance of evidence among a barrage of nonsense on social media
Thank you!

shorter answer - appeal to nature is not an argument

Another factor is availability. Most of human history, we were poor and many of these food items were scarce or expensive enough most couldn’t conceive of eating it every week let alone every day. We need to add the mental constraints where we once had physical limitations.

Eating meat daily is also the outcome of agricultural revolution. 62% of mammal biomass is livestock, while only 4% are wild mammals. So to keep up these levels of meat consumption, that these people think is still too low.. we need over 15x more animals than there are wild animals in total.

Yeah the same people who tell you not to eat fruit because it's been genetically modified to be bigger and sweeter are the same people who dismissed that animals have been genetically modified too

I always laugh when I hear the paleo crowd talk about eating meat. In the US most beef is from the Angus cow, which wasn't bred until the 12h century. The modern pig we eat is even more recent at around 200 years old. It's like they think that paleo ended when Columbus was born.

You summed it up nicely - thanks for bring some sanity to this subject!

[johntousseau]

That meme strikes me as carnivore brain rot. Sorry, carnivore bros, ancestral humans did not eat steak and eggs all day every day.

Great video! This type of argumentation, which kinda goes into this whole romaticization of "nature" "natural" "everything was better in the old days" and so forth, is sometimes really hard to argue with. One thing that I want to point out though is raw milk. According to my research, raw milk has very little to no proven benefits over pasteurized milk, but comes with a couple major downsides: potential foodborne illness, much shorter shelf life, much less available, probably even much more risk and expenditure for the producer (well, the owner of the producers I guess).

thanks for another great video! really appreciate your content and efforts!

[THFrenchteacher]

Love your channel. I love how you calmly introduce facts into emotional topics. Thank you!🙏

[tejaswinis]

The best channel for authentic nutrition information. Can you bust myths on ayurveda

[Beardyoldsalt]

These videos are very informative. You are a great communicator. Although I start with a completely different set of presuppositions than you, regarding human origins, I appreciate the way you think and agree with your conclusions. For what it's worth.

[StarOnTheWater]

People forget that we have always been adapting to stressors in the environment.
There was never a heavenly time when everything was ideal and we were a finished product of evolution.
We ate what was available and we have adapted to digest it. We have survived. And that's it.

Ty Dr Gil! I would love to see you do a deep dive into all the Menopause diets out there.

[joannarichards]

Thank you for being the voice of reason in a world of dietary nonsense. X

[adelabdelaziz-zhzh]

number one comment is coming from Egypt to say think you for changing the mindset of me and others to validate the things they hear and to love SCIENCE

[tomgoff]

Apparently we began consuming alcohol ten million years ago. See:
Hominids adapted to metabolize ethanol long before human-directed fermentation
