Study Shows Nitrates In Meat Causes An Early Death!

In this video, Dr. Eric Westman critiques a recent Danish study claiming that nitrates from meat are associated with increased mortality risks. He discusses the study's findings, methodology, and implications while emphasizing the need to understand the magnitude and relevance of reported risks. Dr. Westman also compares plant-based and animal-based nitrates and addresses misconceptions related to dietary recommendations.

Key Points

Overview of Study

The video starts with a discussion of a Danish study involving over 50,000 participants that investigated nitrates in both plant and animal foods regarding their association with various mortality risks.

Cohort Study Limitations

Dr. Westman explains the difference between cohort studies and clinical trials, arguing that the lack of randomization in cohort studies can lead to biased conclusions. He stresses that a larger sample size does not necessarily indicate a more significant effect.

Plant vs Animal Nitrates

The video contrasts the effects of plant-derived nitrates, which correlated with lower mortality rates, with animal-derived nitrates, which indicated increased mortality risks. Dr. Westman points out the bias against meat in the study's interpretation.

Magnitude of Risk

Dr. Westman emphasizes the importance of understanding absolute versus relative risk. He critiques the way statistics are reported in the study, noting that a 19% increase in mortality from animal nitrates is not clinically significant when considering the population studied.

Healthy User Bias

The video discusses potential confounding factors, such as healthy user bias, that could influence study results. Dr. Westman argues that adjustments for various health metrics may not fully account for these biases.

Critical Review of Nutritional Claims

Dr. Westman encourages viewers to critically assess claims regarding food sources and their health effects. He concludes that the evidence presented does not warrant a shift in dietary recommendations regarding meat consumption.

WHY HUMANS ARE NOT CARNIVORES 🥩🥩

Dr. Robert Cywes explores the reasons why humans cannot sustain a long-term pure carnivore diet. He discusses the physiological differences between obligate carnivores and humans, highlighting insulin mechanics, GLP-1 hormone dependence, and how these factors influence our diet and health. Through an evolutionary lens, he explains that while a carnivore diet may be beneficial for weight loss and managing diabetes in the short term, humans require a balance of nutrients, including carbohydrates, to maintain proper hormonal function and metabolic health.

Key Points

Carnivore Diet Benefits

A pure carnivore diet can rapidly correct insulin resistance, aid in weight loss, and be effective for managing diabetes. Dr. Cywes advises this approach for short-term health improvements.

Insulin Production Mechanisms

Both obligate carnivores and humans require insulin to use sugar. However, the mechanisms triggering insulin release differ; carnivores rely heavily on amino acids from protein, while humans depend more on carbohydrates to trigger insulin through the GLP-1 hormone.

Limitations of Pure Carnivore for Humans

Humans cannot thrive on a strict carnivore diet long-term without suffering from insulin suppression. Our physiology requires some carbohydrates to stimulate GLP-1 production for adequate insulin response.

Physiological Adaptations

Humans are facultative carnivores, meaning we can eat a carnivore-heavy diet but cannot fully rely on it. Long-term absence of carbohydrates leads to downregulation of insulin production and GLP-1 signaling, akin to complications from standard diets.

Comparison with Hummingbirds

Hummingbirds, which consume high carbohydrate diets, do not develop diabetes due to their evolutionary adaptations that allow them to rapidly clear glucose from their system, contrasting with the slower glucose metabolism of humans.

Conclusion on Diet Balance

Dr. Cywes emphasizes that while a carnivore diet can be beneficial, a balanced approach that includes some carbohydrates is essential for human health to prevent long-term metabolic issues.

WHY ARE CARNIVORES AT RISK FOR HEART ATTACKS?

Dr. Robert Cywes discusses the findings of the LMHR study, which indicates that individuals on a carnivorous diet are at the same risk for heart disease as those on a standard American diet. He elaborates on how high cholesterol and LDL levels do not correlate with plaque formation, while also pointing out possible increases in soft plaque among lean mass hyperresponders. The video emphasizes the importance of insulin resistance and insulin sensitivity, rather than just cholesterol levels, in understanding heart disease risk.

Key Points

LMHR Study Overview

The LMHR study, led by Dr. Feldman and others, analyzes individuals classified as lean mass hyperresponders who have high LDL and low triglycerides. The study found that high cholesterol does not correlate with increased cardiovascular risk.

Soft Plaque Formation

Contrary to expectations, the study revealed that lean mass hyperresponders experienced an increase in non-calcified plaque volume over time, aligning their risk of plaque progression with those consuming a standard American diet.

Cholesterol vs. Insulin Resistance

Dr. Cywes highlights that the real issue is not elevated cholesterol levels but rather insulin resistance caused by carbohydrate intake, suggesting that plaque formation may be a result of insulin suppression in carnivorous individuals.

Importance of GLP-1

GLP-1 plays a crucial role in insulin regulation, and its insufficient triggering in a strict carnivore diet can lead to elevations in blood sugar and insulin resistance, which may produce vascular inflammation and plaque.

Diet Recommendations

The doctor argues for the reintroduction of small amounts of carbohydrates in diets for those with insulin suppression to help prevent plaque formation and maintain healthier metabolic function.
