SATURATED FAT DANGERS + Q&A

We’ve been told for decades that eating Saturated Fat increases our risk of Heart Disease and Early Death. Problem is, there are at least 3 randomized, controlled human studies, several meta-analyses and now a State of the Art Review showing this to be untrue. Replacing animal fats/fruit seed fats with vegetable oils Always leads to worsening heart disease, increased chronic inflammation and increased cancer risk.
Ask your questions in the comments. I will try to answer as many questions as possible.
Research:

SIDNEY DIET HEART STUDY:
---8 year long randomized controlled trial in humans in 1967

MINNESOTA CORONARY EXPERIMENT:
---5 year long randomized controlled trial in humans in 1969

---2 year long randomized controlled trial in humans in 1965

So, on my 33 birthday I was told by doctors that they thought I had thyroid cancer I needed water pills, cholesterol pills, metformin, thyroid pills and the list goes on. They told me I needed to eat mostly veggies. Blood work got worse. My systems got worse. It actually felt like my heart was stopping/skipping beats. I stopped ALL medications. Stomach problems kept up with eating chicken and veggies and fruits and occasional breads. Than I did a high protein, low fat and all my weight that I had lost had come back on over a year and a half time. Stomach pain and fear to eat was back. Today is my 3rd day on carnivore and I keep waiting to be doubled over in pain and nothing, no pain. I’m using the bathroom normal. This is all kinda freaking me out because for 10 years I did what doctors told me and they made me sicker. I find your channel.... and I feel like for once a doctor helped me.

Vegetable oil, especially corn oil, is great... we add it to olive oil to burn in vigil lamps, burns cleaner than just olive oil. I actually label it "not food" in my house so no one makes a mistake.

My sister cured her diabetes on Keto.
I'm very proud of her.

I just love this guy. He gets to the point, he doesn't perpetuate medical lies for his own profit. He actually cares about people.. so refreshing!

I've always described myself as a "cowgirl" because I love beef so much. But for the longest while I limited how much beef I ate because I bought into the lies that red meat is bad, fat is bad, that I'll die early for eating a lot of meat. Thing is my body craved red meat. I'm always excited about special events because I'd always recommend a steakhouse. Ever since I switched to eating carnivore, I'm so much happier. My body is happier. Pain/soreness went away. Diabetes gone. Skin is glowing. Blood pressure down. Anxiety is finally manageable without medication. I get so mad now that I've kept myself sick all these years because I listened to doctors' advice thinking that they knew better when, all the while, my body knew what was needed to heal because I always craved red meat!

Last year my husband's cholesterol went up and our family doctor told him he needed to take a medication to lower it. My husband said, "The research showing that lowering your cholesterol is beneficial is just non-existent, and I don't want to take anything, " to which our doctor replied, "Your're right!" Wtf??

The fact you've put so much effort into pushing the truth about saturated fat really makes me happy. I don't know if you'll read this Dr. Berry, but I started a Carnivore diet two years ago and I've never felt better in my life. I came from a misguided vegan and vegetarian diet that left me like a zombie for most of my high school days and would have never probably started following this way of life without the advice you've given.
Thank-you.

I recently turned 20 and plan on sticking to this diet for the rest of my life.

I'm an RN with 20 years experience and 3 of those 20 years was on an acute cardiac floor. The majority of our patients were there being monitored with telemetry, awaiting or recovering from receiving a stent, or being prepped and recovering from bypass surgery. Our "typical" patient, with many exceptions of course, was men, usually age 50 to 65, obese, with multiple comorbidities, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, the usual suspects. But when we would take their history, when asked to describe their diet, it wasn't mostly animal products, meat, full fat butter, bacon. They had diets high in sugar, simple carbs, used seed and vegetable oils. Yes they ate some meat BUT I NEVER saw people on a strict carnivore diet, yet I WOULD see vegetarians and vegans

I've been eating twice a day for several months because each of my two meals eliminates hunger for up to 12 hours depending on my physical activity on a given day. My first meal is 10-11 whole eggs (I scramble them in beef tallow). My second meal is a large Rib Eye steak with lots of butter on top. I also eat plain pecans with both meals. I drink only mineral water w/fresh lime juice. I'm 67 and feel GREAT. No aches or pains. I row a boat and skim board at the beach and take long walks on the sand 7-days a week. Am very fit and strong. Zero food cravings. Zero constipation. I will NEVER return to my old eating ways. KenDBerry is giving great information on his YouTube channel.

I'm a type 2 diabetic, had 2 heart attacks back to back in 2016. Been diligently following my doctors orders, and as you can imagine, with the standard medical protocol most doctors follow, my diabetes is @#$^@! out of control. SO I decided to educate myself, and I'm starting the carnivore diet... ZERO carbs. However, the issue of eating saturated fats, and getting another heart attack is my biggest concern. This is exactly the information I've been needing and looking for. THANK YOU DR.

[marilynirwin]

Love this..we absolutely need a KETO doctor registry and group that we can use and change the nutrition courses! Bravo for your courage to start this change thru your videos 💪🏽

Dr Berry, I'm a physician from Bogota- Colombia. For the last 20 years I've been working with Type 2 DM and High Blood pressure very shy introducing the low carb/ High fat diet. And following your experience gives me tools to be more assertive. I use WhatsApp. Thank you for your time and effort in making these videos!

I live in NYC. Midtown Manhattan. I’ve been arguing with my GP for years. She wants me on statins. I refused. Finally she offered a Calcium Score test. I had a score of 1. Ha Ha! I’m a total slug, however, I eat clean and healthy. God Bless you Dr Berry. Keep spreading the good word.

[mrsang]

Thank you! I love having this research, you don’t know how many people expected for my husband and I to drop dead from a heart attack when we started Keto and IF. My husband and I are both scientist, we researched both Keto and IF and our bodies agreed with what we found. We spent our 30s eating low fat ( we never questioned the notion) and our cholesterol numbers were great, but everything else was going haywire. We are beyond grateful!

[joyceelmer]

I was that Mamma who told her adult daughter “Eating all that fat cannot be good for you. “. So I went to YouTube, found Dr Berry. That was 1 1/2 years ago. And I have been on Keto 1 1/2 years now too. Sharing from Sanford, NC. Oh yeah, I’m a hyper responder. Thanks for this video.

[BeHealing]

Thank you! I'm so sick of people just spouting the garbage lies they have been fed "worried about me" when they should really be worried about themselves, saying "yeh you might be really healthy now but what about later?" I'm so happy this truth is coming out now & thank you for putting yourself out there to reveal it.

[cuanblane]

I’ve had what I know now as metabolic syndrome since a teenager and have been on high blood pressure since I was 21. No Dr could figure out the cause of this High BP, and chalked it down to “hereditary”. I simply believed that I was unlucky and “stuck” with this unknown issue! Been doing carnivore since February to the horror of my family and Dr, but I’m no longer taking High BP meds anymore and I don’t crave foods & snacks anymore- it is liberating to be in total control and having the knowledge of what is good for me and what is bad for me!

In April 2018 I had a coronary calcium scan. At that time my total was 223.4. Since then I have worked towards better health via keto (no processed foods, only healthy real food fats). So yesterday (June 2020) my scan showed Total 96.3. Reversing! Yes reversing... thanks to all the Keto docs I've listened to.

[mikewalton]

I am in Thailand. I am 73 and I have been following you for over one year. You have changed my life. Unfortunately no one believe I am healthy because I am so skinny.
