46 minute infomercial on c15 which is just oxidized c16 and can be found in dairy. Enjoy the rest of your day!

[JulianMeier]

As someone with a background in dairy science I can tell you that the nutritional profile of milk solids (fat, protein, carbohydrates, minerals) will vary greatly depending on the animal, breed, diet, lactation stage, age and health.

Holsteins are bred for one purpose: high milk yields. On a large-scale farm they are consuming a diet primarily of soybean meal, corn silage and beet pulp (not to mention rBST and antibiotics). Milk from Holsteins is a poor source of C15 and fatty acids in general (with the exceptions of C16, C18 and C18:1). On the other hand, a grass-fed Jersey or Guernsey cow will have significantly higher levels of milk solids, especially fatty acids. The unfortunate reality, though, is that for ever pint of Jersey milk sold, there are probably 1000 gallons of Holstein milk sold. If C15 is indeed essential and beneficial (I have yet to read up on the scientific literature), one would need to be consuming far more store-bought (Holstein) milk than dietary guidelines across the globe are recommending.

I understand a guy has to make a living. Don’t get me wrong. But I see more and more commercials and affiliate links these days. Not so much about honest down to earth ways to live a healthy life. If we all took the many many supplements advocated by Thomas we would be broke long before we got “healthy”. Just an observation so don’t go hating on me.

So the old diet of meat and butter was best? 😊

[FadedStar]

Also, milk was raw back in the day. Not dead from pastuerization. I'm assuming that would affect the C15

[murielbrown]

So back in the day it was only the common sailors who got Scurvy, the officers did not. The officers were fed dried meat, while the lowly sailors on the other hand were given Ship's Biscuit. Carbohydrate increase the need for vitamin C, while a meat based diet reduces it. So a plant based diet and the Standard American diet with it their emphasis on grain based foods both increase vitamin C defficiency.

Props to my fellow observers. I specifically went right to the comments to see if this was "one of those" videos I didn't want to spend an hour watching an infomercial. Your comments helped.

It's $101 (with their 15% off sale) for 100mg x 90 caps. That's $1.12 per day. That's $101 for 9 grams. Or, you could eat 3.5oz of beef and get 70 to 450mg of pentadecylic acid plus way more nutrition than just the one fatty acid.

In India ( Bharath), this was known to our ancestors very well .
That is why cows are worshipped as mother, the one who gives and sustains life.
Our ancestors knew this .
Butter, ghee is an integral part of Indian diet since time immemorial., which provide all essential fatty acids.
This concept is not new to us
I am very proud of our ancient wisdom and superintelligent forefathers

[Operations]

She's fantastic at presenting and explaining this!
She radiates enthusiasm in a not overbearing way and positive attractive vibe makes her very easy to listen to.

[rosalindalozano]

What an absolutely beautiful human being she is!!❤

[tomjones]

Superb interview, Thomas!! Fascinating topic and guest.

[miriamsadof]

How about eating high fat dairy from a2-a2 grass fed cows? Would c-15 be higher and c16 lower??

[Sky]

is there a blood test to identify defficiency in c15?

[manamsana]

She has such a positive vibe.. it's just amazing to see her talk...

[JedTL]

Wow! This brings up several questions for me. Where do dolphins, in the wild, get most of their C15? Does raw milk have more C15 bio-available than pasteurized/homogenized milk (I’d only choose milk from “organic” [no pesticides or herbicides applied to grass] grass fed. Is there a difference in milk from sheep & goats vs cows in regards to B15 bio-availability? How much C15 am I getting from wild caught sardines & mackerel?

[ironmurs]

To say people will ‘feel’ C15 effects is pretty bold. I’ve been taking cod liver oil & flax oil for decades. I don’t feel anything from them, but I do believe they help keep me healthy.

[thomaschoat]

Is there any data comparing C15 content between different cattle races, yak butter, water Buffalo etc?

[markeule]

I've been taking it every day for about a year I hike 6 miles a day I won't yell you my age but I don't feel it I work as a server so I walk all the time, im not sure how it all fits together but I feel good.

[ParadoxalDream]

This is a fascinating discussion and it explains why I've felt so different since I started to eat whole milk grass-fed kefir daily. I knew it was changing my gut bacteria but it feels more than that.
