Dr. Paul Mason - 'Saturated fat is not dangerous'

Dr Paul Mason obtained his medical degree with honours from the University of Sydney, and also holds degrees in Physiotherapy and Occupational Health. He is a Specialist Sports Medicine and Exercise Physician.

Dr Mason developed an interest in low carbohydrate diets in 2011. Since then he has spent hundreds of hours reading and analysing the scientific literature.

For the last two years, Dr. Mason has been applying this knowledge in treating metabolic and arthritis patients who have achieved dramatic and sustained weight loss and reductions in joint pain.

Lots of respect to Dr Paul Mason and many others especially for going against the...grain.

This is the first time I have ever heard anyone actually explain how and why atherosclerosis happens. Thank you for a wonderful and clear presentation.

I have eaten 5 or more large egg yolks, one small can of sardines and low carb every day for 5 years. Now, I am 66 years old, with low but normal blood pressure, and with healthy weight.

It even goes back further than the 1970's. In the 1940's the Procter and Gamble company donated millions to the American heart association to say animal fats were bad and that people should start frying in their Crisco trans fats. The women at the time were frying in what we now know was healthy fats such as pig lard and butter, and were resistant to buy the Crisco shortening. Big food also discovered that the partially hydrogenated oil was a preservative, and started putting it in food to make their shelf life longer. Before partially hydrogenated oil was invented in 1911, women cooked with animal fats and heart disease didn't exist. When they invented partially hydrogenated oil, they invented heart disease.

You and Dr Ford Brewer are quite literally saving lives .. my husband is a 2 heart attack survivor who has fully embraced what you guys teach and is doing great .. fit, healthy, lean with great test/scan results .. and it is all down to you guys and others who are getting this vital lifesaving info out there .

How can this video have so few views. It should be viral and in the millions. Doctors that I've seen have hardly had a clue about the actual details behind cholesterol and the statins they want to prescribe, yet the truths are clearly detailed here. This has really helped me connect the dots after years of trying to figure it out!

Can the people responsible for the upside-down food guidelines be punished for the massive suffering and death they've profited from?

i live in romania, we have a huge heart problem ight now. my father is 55 and more that half of his school classmated died of heart disease. I was talking one day with my very old grandma and i asked her if she remembers when she was young people diyng of heart disease and to my surprise she told me she did't even heard about it at the time. Now consider this, where i live is northern romania we had long and cold winters and in my grandma time the way to store food was in fat in salt or to pickle it or dairy (cheese). so they are a huge ammount of fats even lots of saturated ones. now that people consume lots of refined sugars and oils we have a huge problem. My dad had a collesterol problem when i was younger, i don' eat processed food and we have land so we decided to keep sheep and that became ou main protein source, sheep meat is very very fat and my dad now somehow eating fat sheep meat has colesterol at good levels.

The process of introducing saturated fat into one's diet, is one of cognitive dissonance. One is forced to critically question previous information once thought to be true and better for your health. I am grateful for the information presented in these Low Carb Down Under lectures.

We're no longer on blood thinner and statins for almost 2 years.
We ditched the table salt and Canola and switched to Himalayan salt and virgin coconut oil. Supplemented with magnesium glycinate, Omega 3 fish oil, Vit. C, and avoiding processed food. We avoid eating out as much as we can as well.

The truest thing that my mother ever said was I have purchased almost every low-fat item available and I have never been fatter in my life.

Outstanding presentation. I'll be watching that a few times until it really sinks in. The most important message for me was that high LDL is only dangerous in the presence of high insulin (insulin resistance). When insulin is high, Apo B100 on the surface of LDL is glycosylated and no longer recognized by the liver for clearance from the bloodstream. When insulin is low, Apo B100 remains unglycosylated and the LDL where it resides is cleared from the bloodstream by the liver. That's a really important concept to get your arms around. If the liver can't clear the LDL from the bloodstream, it gets entangled with macrophages in blood vessel walls and begins to cause arteriosclerosis.

26:37 - On the graph comparing the composition of common sources of fat, note that the percentage of Omega 3 shown as the average in butter is for industrial-style dairy farms where cows have little or no access to pasture, and are feed diets high in grains and seeds (especially soy).

The Omega 3 content of the milk of certified organic 100% 'grassfed' dairy - no grain ever - was compared to the Omega 3 content of milk from certified organic dairies in the area that also fed grain & soy. along with pasture access during the growing season. The Omega 3 content of the regular organic milk was significantly higher than what was found in the milk of cows from 'conventional' industrial-style farms. The Omega 3 content of the 100% grassfed milk from cows on an all-forage diet was 7 TIMES higher.

Lard, like beef tallow, from hogs fed rations high in grains and other seeds will similarly have higher Omega 6 levels and lower Omega 3 levels than lard, and pork, from swine fed a more natural and varied diet. 50+ years ago, a lot of pork was still being produced on the land, foraging in marginal areas, being moved to grain fields after harvest to clean up the dropped grain, and fed vegetables and fruits that were not in good enough condition to be sold for human food. Milk, skim milk, and whey, where available, was fed to growing and 'finishing' pigs, too. Some let the pigs harvest peanut fields themselves. (Some people still find peanuts suitable only to fuel diesel engines and/or as hog feed.)

This is something I have been wrapping my head around recently, given my very shocking lab results, that I am realizing shouldn't have been that shocking after all. This goes against everything I have been practicing for the last 11 years, and yet it makes a lot of sense....and I'm feeling so much better already. I thought I was so

[colloredbrothers]

I had dry cracked skin on the back of my hands when I didn't eat saturated fats, the moment I started going back to my high fat breakfast my skin began to look more healthy the next day, I don't need to moisturize it, I use the state of my skin as a marker, if I'm getting enough saturated fats or not. My skin feels very smooth, flexible and it glows.

Even Aussie doctors are some of the most down to earth people on the planet. Thank Goodness for these revealers of the Truth.

[DavidInSydney]

I’m learning so much from watching Dr Mason’s clear and well researched lectures. They are a revelation. Thank you!

[bobmonk]

Great work Doc. My mother gained a little weight so set course for a low fat diet things like light yogurt no fat full of sugar a prime example why her health was ravaged, she gained more weight had thyroid issues and joint pain who do i sue for telling her this diet would help her be healthy. She still resists fat even thought i helped her eat real foods and sneak olive oil, butter and coconut oil into everything i cook for her and since the change her health has improved ten fold.

I have O.A. its bad in knees . I went on keto to loose weight and get healthy . Iv lost 60lb it did help knee pain. I cant exersise but still lost the weight. I love keto and will continue on it all my life. I Hope no knee replacements.

[michelleguerrero]

My thoughts are the point is hunger I was so hungry all my life and my brain telling me to eat all day long until I went to bed. Then I found keto and it took away that thought of hunger all day by being satiated by fat eating in the keto ratios of the diet fixed that and much more. I had high cholesterol but keto fixed that after 3 years I have lost 100 lbs and feel great want to loose 30 pound more but that is a bit harder the last of what I need to loose. I go to a doctor that looked at me funny when I told him i was doing keto he had no idea what it was and told me should not eat that fat...Hmmm i proved him wrong last 2 years my blood work was within all normal levels....Ya Keto, I will keto on. oh and my depression and crazy thoughts in my head stopped talking to me my microbiom has been silenced. Gut is the second brain like that doctor hundreds of years ago said. I know not for everyone but for many could work. I am 58
