Let me explain the concept of the study. Southern France was using more olive oil while the northern area uses more butter since it’s a colder climate. For some stupid reason the researchers didn’t care to differentiate between the two fats and so we got the so called “French paradox”. Also btw the main component of the Mediterranean diet isn’t just what you eat but also who you are eating it with. Your friends and family at the dinner table talking and eating lowers blood pressure. Along with sunlight exposure and other forms of exercise. Health is a holistic thing. Not just a pice of paper telling you what and when to eat.

Theo understood about 25% of what Neil said😂

The reason the Mediterranean diet worked is because people had proper access and affordable foods on the diet because they were living in the Mediterranean. Attempting the Mediterranean diet where you are landlocked or rely on processed or preserved foods is expensive and inordinately time consuming. Someone needs to do a study on healthy diets in inner city and remote areas more localized who they are trying to impact most. The diets should be nutritious and meet the standards for those at the poverty line and up through those who are better off.

I love that the Accordion music was sprinkled in with every mention of France!
I love Papy Musette !!!

[ccrush]

The Tobias Fate edit was superb! 😂 Keep it up

[zack_]

That's an epic point for essentially all biomedical researches especially nutrition. It completely ignores the very nature of biology: individuality

[pilgerengel]

The Hershey Study fraud at Harvard was a big influence as well. It makes my patients until today tell me that they avoid fat in their food.
And all the diet products were with low fat instead of low carb…until today

[fotiostriantas]

No he is wrong. He is referring just a study on early 50s that was taking under consideration the French Mediterranean coastline and central and north France for many good reasons. The Mediterranean diet was well established after that and decades of research. Here Tyson is wrong.

[dncmun]

Moderation, and exercise.
If you are active, eat more carbs.
If not active, fewer carbs and zero sugar...

[MrLoobu]

See, if anyone looked at the actual methodology and details of studies, they wouldn't be so quick to believe each of them and, in turn, develop more contradictory half truths in their mind.

[WhyIsEverythingSoComplicated]

You forget something SUPER important ! Italy has one of the oldest population in average and France has one of the best national health cares (for free not like in the US lol) in the World !!!

[drewpamon]

On top of that they studied the Mediterranean diet shotly after ww2. The people weren't avoiding animal foods because of their preference, but because of the war. They also did a major part of the study during lent.

[scottd.]

Put bread and starches at the top with sugar. There, It's fixed.

[fstopPhotography]

Sounds like how global warming is justified.
We'll just put in the information we want to, so the result is what we want.

[joedasilva]

That is completely new to me .
I am shocked 😳

[MartyB]

They control the food so why wouldn’t they tell us which food we should eat

[strshooter]

There is always a bias. Eat what you want. My grandfather eat greesy food 3 times a day and was about 5'9 and weighed about 135 lbs and lived to be 91 yrs old.

[johnnysanchez]

We have poison bread in US! Nutrients taken out, poison put in!

[OHHHHUSBANT]

I love the sprinkled in apu apustaja's in 😂
