What Your Doctor Won't tell you about Saturated Fat ?

We’ve been warned that eating saturated fat, the type found in meat, cheese, and other dairy foods, can lead to heart disease. Instead, we've been told to choose healthy fats from nuts, seeds, fish, and vegetable oils.Saturated fats, while not as harmful as trans fats, by comparison with unsaturated fats negatively impact health and are best consumed in moderation. Foods containing large amounts of saturated fat include red meat, butter, cheese, and ice cream.

40 years of lowering fat while the population gets fatter and sicker by the day. Low fat guidelines are a crime against humanity imo.

American diet-based health problems (heart disease, in particular) started in the 1920's, with the invention and heavily marketed spread of industrial "vegetable oil, " compounded by the appearance of cheap sugar and the flood of high-fructose syrup, in the 1960's and 1980's, respectively. One should return to the organic, vegetable-rich, fruit-rich, whole-grain, whole-dairy and animal-based farm diets of the 19th Century. All highly processed, industrial "vegetable" oils (corn, safflower, canola, palm, etc.) are high in omega-6 (aka, linoleic acid: the mitochondria killer) and should be avoided.

Mike, another very informative video but I really found the background music made it hard for me concentrate on your message. For all us non-doctors the amount of information you present requires complete focus, for me at least. Many times I need to pause, digest and replay specific parts. And when I do that, the background music actually becomes irritating. Hope you forgo it in future videos. Thanks for all your work at keeping us healthy and informed.

I find this topic very interesting concerning saturated fats. I come from German / Russian heritage where saturated fat is a part of their diet. Both of my Grandparents would save the fat / grease after cooking meat and use it on their bread. Their diet consists red meat, pork, butter and lard. Heart disease does not run in my family despite many of them having high LDL levels confirmed by blood work and not being on statins. My father has 11 siblings and my mother has 10 siblings and no heart disease.

Thank you Dr. Mike for this video! I love cheese and yogurt from whole milk! I cut those out of my diet decades ago and have had 5 heart attacks. Now on Keto, eating FAT, protein and 20 g of carbs per day. I have never had this much energy or stamina in my 67 years! My cardiologist is old school, and is having a fit over what I am eating, and keeps wanting me to go back to STD Amer. Diet. NO WAY! I am schooling him now on fats and health benefits of them, and this video is now going to be my next appointment agenda. Thank you thank you.

My Family never had heart attacks or any CVD… my cholesterols have always been not so good though I’ve been pretty active all my life, swimming, jogging few marathons even, martial arts bmi 24-26, non smoking… yeah they always told me to take statins. As a native Nordic my diet has always been basic Nordic more or less

And 6 months ago I was diagnosed t2d… but and guess what, he told me to start medicines. Instead of medicines I started to decrease my carbs, an apple a day and some berries, veggies, full fat dairy and meat. No vegetable oils but avocado or olive oil

HgA1c 6 weeks ago 5.5% and I expect it goes a bit lower next time. Triglycerides from 250 to 111. All this just with a small shift in diet and in 5 months. Weight lost 7 kg and waist line loss by 9 cm

My mother drank milk full whole milk extensively and butter all our life. She also ate hamburger all her life. She lived to 95 years old and outlived most of her doctors who told her her diet was bad. When she got cut open for her second hip replacement in her early 90s the doctor looked inside her body and said she had the body of a 30 year old inside including bones. My father followed all the low fat advice. He had multiple heart attacks. He died in his eighties which is still a good old age but his low-fat diet didn't help him. In fact what we now know is is no egg yolk diet and his low-fat diet actually hurt him in many ways not to mention they stacked those horrible statin drugs on top of him which we also know have terrible effects in which cause muscle wasting in his case which prevented him from getting some exercise involving his legs cuz they became painful. So I think I'll choose my mother's way. We're all going to die sometime and doctors don't know what the hell they're talking about and so we might as well take our chances with what our body most likely evolved with which is natural dairy and meat fats. After all it works for the eskimos.

I lost 150lbs on eating Ketovore. I went from 321lbs to 170lbs. Took me 2 years with 2 years maintaining now. I do not eat any breads, pasta, rice, or white potatoes - an occasional Sweet Potato. I only use Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, or Avocado. I do not eat out. My lipids drastically changed for the better and are currently:
Total Cholesterol = 169
Triglycerides = 42
HDL = 64
VLDL = 9
LDL = 96

[bobcocampo]

The fatty acids are about 90% saturated. But coconut oil is perhaps most unique for its high content of the saturated fat lauric acid, which makes up around 40% of its total fat content ( 1 ). This makes coconut oil highly resistant to oxidation at high heat.

[pickingprofit]

Seed oil free for over 4 years now. I eat meat (mainly beef), fish, dairy and egg and some vegetables and fruit. I eat a lot of butter. My body composition has improved, less inflamation and feel so much better

[Super_Synthesis]

It seems increasingly clear that the effects of saturated fat consumption may be highly contextual, especially with in conjunction with the intake of foods that cause insulin resistance. There seems to be at least some evidence that even high levels of saturated fat intake in the context of low simple carb diets can actually lead to weight loss and improved metabolic health. That saturated fats can be so satiating also helps people adhere to diets that are high in saturated animal fats.

Every doctor needs to watch this. Most recieve little nutrion training in medical school.

[richardbrash]

I don’t go to doctors for health information. I’m 69 YO and in good health. I’m already doing most of the things you mentioned. I’m 6ft 1 end 210 lbs, I want to get down to 180. We’ll see. Most people I know don’t live a healthy life style. Information to live healthy is available more so now than ever before. It’s not easy living healthy, but it’s not hard either. I’m in good health only by the grace of God. I thank you and those like you who are giving healthy information to us. May God bless you and your family.

I don t ask doctors on nutrition matters, they know nothing about it, 30 + years on medication because of Crohns disease, and all it took was 10 days on carnivore diet to throw pills away ( in doctors mailbox) and even if I ate the fat version of minched beef meat (14-18 % fat) I started loosing weight anyways, since then I avoid artificial oils and now use butter, oliveoil, coconut oil, have a spread of turmeric on most meals + the pepper that makes it easier for the body to take up, have a 72 hours fasting now and then and intermittent fasting on the dayly basis, needles to say I don t eat bread, potatoes, rice or other sugar plants.I learnt most of what I know now from Ekberg, Berg, Berry and also educate myself on topics like cancer, how it s possible to stop with fasting, which you are not supposed to get in the first place if you are a carnivore.

You needed to add pastured meats, dairy and eggs to your analysis, especially when it's done on a diverse, 'weedy' pasture. The change in fat profiles and added nutrition makes a huge difference in the desirability of these products overall.
Animals grazed on pastures using holistic methods also are good for the environment, which is the opposite of animals raised in CAFOs, so it is win-win...

[connielentz]

Retired general internist with metabolic syndrome here. This is fascinating, and so much more than I learned in med school. (Graduated 1980). Bottom line again- no processed foods, and I will continue to use whole dairy.

[Rita]

If you eat saturated fats with leafy greens, fruits, nuts, olive oil, high antioxidant teas, and eat high fiber carbs, you will most likely be fine.

[katieforeman]

Please include your references in the notes if you are going to be advising people that certain saturated fats are fine.

[hecklerkoch]

I eat three eggs every morning. And my LDL is SKY HIGH. HOWEVER, my triglycerides are low and HDL is very high. My doctor isn't worried about the LDL because he measured my Good Size LDL(looks fluffy under microscope) and small size LDL(this is what causes clots). LDL is an essential part of many processes in the formation of necessary hormones and cell walls. Ask your doctor about this specific test on your LDL.

[datsuntoyy]

A topic you didn't hit on is LDL in itself isn't bad if its alpha profile. That is it hasn't been glycated (oxidized) by sugar. Once LDL is oxidized it becomes beta profile and the body has no receptors for oxidized LDL. It is consumed by macrophages which settle in the bloodvessels and become plaque. So while some consume sugar and are fine and others consume fat and are fine (like keto) consuming both is a recipe for disaster.
"Low Carb Down Under" has a great vid on this called lab results on keto. Atleast something like that.
