Is a Calorie a Calorie? Processed Food, Experiment Gone Wrong
We’ve all heard the dictate that a calorie is a calorie regardless of its source. But are all foods truly created equal in terms of how they affect our health and weight? Given the barrage of competing information directed at us every day, what do we really know about healthy eating? Speakers: Christopher Gardner, PhD and Robert Lustig, MD.

Robert Lustig, MD, is Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology at University of California, San Francisco, and the author of Fat Chance: Beating the Odds against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity, and Disease.
Christopher Gardner, PhD, Professor (Research) of Medicine is a nutrition researcher at the Stanford Prevention Research Center whose research has been investigating the potential health benefits of various dietary components or food patterns, explored in the context of randomized controlled trials in free-living adult populations.
I’m a pediatric dietitian, and I have to remind parents and pediatricians everyday that children need a higher fat diet than adults for brain growth and development. Fats are not evil.
There are different types of fats though and they now add vegetable oils to foods thinking it is healthy.
Exactly thank you, there are healthy fats!
Friend of my mine has become addicted to getting an injection to lose weight all the time. He is back and forth on this all the time now. Apparently it suppresses the appetite and makes you lose weight. He claims 5 pounds in a week. I showed him how the math on that was nearly impossible for his weight. He couldn't understand. No wonder he needs an injection. He doesn't understand it takes 3500 calories to make a pound.

I thought I would never be able to give up sugar and processed foods. I did. Much of my pain disappeared. I began eating only food that helps control my chronic inflammation and no foods known to worsen it. I added magnesium and B vitamins. Now most of my pain is gone.

Love Dr. Lustig and his videos. Crazy this was made 7 years ago and I feel like things haven’t changed at all. He could have made this video yesterday and society would be the same. It’s super sad. Unfortunately, we can’t rely on the government to look out for our health. We have to take our lives into our OWN hands. I have cut sugar and processed foods out of my family’s lives. It was tricky with our kids (ages 8, 6 and 5) but they are doing great. No it wasn’t fun getting them off sugar. They were literally junkies. It had to be done. Keep up your fight Dr. Lustig! Between you, Dr. Fung, Dr. Jamnadas, Dr. Berg, etc. I hope the NEW health message becomes the norm.
Share it on other Platforms, like F B. I'm gonna share later ❤️🇬🇧
Why would you want to rely on the government for anything? They’re not your provider. I dont want to rely on government. They do morr harm than good with everything they touch.
OMG those are my favorite doctors as well! My kids are 8&5. In trying to understand why my patients are so sick with chronic illness, I stumbled across Jamnadas and lustig and my mind exploded. Just wow. (Also highly recommend Dr Chatterjee!)
Well in 2023 now we know animal based is best. Lots of red meat and eggs are great. Even better than plant based.
Sad to say that most people will not be triggered on this unless they felt that something is happening to their body. I always promote IF, OMAD, Carnivore/Keto and just a few of my followers agreed and most of the viewers just ignore the TRUTH... Well, it's up to them... Hopefully, it's not too late I also took most of the studies from Dr. Jamnadas, Dr. Berg, Dr. Kendberry, Physionic and identify myself what is suitable and effective especially to myself.. I've been hacking my lifestyle for years now experimenting as to why sometimes i'm still in Ketosis eventhough I ate 2 boxes of Pizza, etc.
I appreciate your videos. Quoting my high school biology teacher, “the only time an experiment fails is when you fail to learn from it.”
I thought that an old Adage goes...like ...the only failure in life is to fail to try so in an experiment or in a learning process, the failure can be had when we fail to conduct it. If we did not learn during the first time so be it, i think it isn't a failure, it is just a "lack" which we can still Patch up. Try again until u succeed.

This was a fantastic talk. On whole milk consumption being down, I still drink whole milk and people look at me like I'm crazy. So glad they called out skim milk for being the biggest scam. Add water to your whole milk and it tastes exactly the same. So basically, you're paying $4-5 per gallon and most of that is filled with free tap water. Whoever did productivity for dairy companies should have gotten a fat bonus for that idea
Our household still consumes whole milk…we like milk alternatives as well like oat & almond, but most of the family drinks whole milk & that won’t change. I just buy the organic, grass fed milk or farm fresh milk. Not only is it healthier, it tastes so much better, too! :)
Skim milk is NOT watered down whole milk
If skim milk is watered down whole milk, Why is the protein and carbs the same, only the fat is different.
Milk is garbage. No other mammal steals milk from other mammals to drink it in adult age. Nature didn't intend to make it for us. We only drink milk when our mother produces it. Then we grow teeth to chew things. Dairy is bad for you. I love cheese and yogurt just stating facts. It's surely 10000x better than 99% of processed garbage in the stores..
Pasturaized milk is a scam. Only raw milk is good milk, rest is trash
Losing weight isn't as complicated as anyone believes. I lost over 80lbs in last year. If you want to lose fat you need to train hard and eat clean. This is my story, the things started to change after I got diet from Next Level Diet. It was plain simple and pretty easy to follow... Training was something like home workout (three times per week). I lost 12lbs of fat in first month already, it felt amazing. You also have some other online diet helpers, but believe me personal trainers are too much expensive.
Being diagnosed with Cancer has been a major loss of money and has caused major problems in my immune system,but when I came across Dr. Osaka on KZhead Channel and he recommended his herbal medicine I got completely cured of Ovarian Cancer...

I spend 75% of my day in the kitchen because my goal for my family is to consume more home cooked and homemade foods as possible.
Definitely in the kitchen more after dumping processed foods but my cooking skills have really improved!
You’re amazing for that!
Sear a steak and put it on a plate! Simple, mate ! Take an egg and put it in boiling water for 6 minutes. Eat it with a spoon 'cause it has it's own bowl. Wash a potato and stick it in the oven. Wash lettuce and wrap something that grows with a leaf or two and stick it in their mouths. Make it simple.

@@loli_uwu3784 ingredients list should be minimal. Sugar should not be in the top three ingredients unless it’s a dessert and treat those like you do alcohol. Make your own food from stuff that doesn’t come in packages wherever possible.
It's absolutely possible to prepare your own food even when working full-time and not having anyone at home taking care of that for you. All you need is the right way of cooking. The food industry told us for decades that it's very difficult and time consuming to prepare food. It's not. Buying a high speed blender was a true game changer. E.g. for work I often prepare a smoothie (fruit, seeds and oatmeal) plus a soup of some legume (which I have soaked over night if necessary). All it takes is add some spices to the legume, mix all and you got a soup to take to work. The whole thing takes me an extra 10 minutes in the morning. Another thing which I found very helpful is to cook a bit more e.g. in the evening so you can put half of that in the fridge for the next day. A bit of planning helps save tons of time. Once you get into the habit the effort of cooking becomes negligible. By the way, Lustig is telling nonsense about German wine. Not only do they not put sugar in it but it's actually illegal to do so (only the cheapest so-called "Tafelweine" may have added sugar - don't buy those). Also in the wine regions the grapes get very much sun. Probably his "knowledge" of wine is very outdated (don't call "Liebfrauenmilch" German wine - nobody in Germany is drinking that shite :-) ).
Yeah it takes me a hour and a half to cook meals for myself, sometimes less even. I’m 17 and I started cooking a couple of weeks ago, it’s even to look up recipes and tutorials on KZhead. A lot of the time you don’t even have to yo be in the kitchen the whole time. Again I’m working on getting a part time job while I’m school and I can still see myself cooking as well. I think people are who aren’t are suffering from something else like depression or have poor time management skills.
@@thephilosopher5799 exactly. And with growing experience you will be able to do that in less time. Everyday cooking can be easy and fast while still providing healthy food.

My mom was a single parent, had to work full time to support her and I. Somehow she always cooked us dinner, from scratch. We had a lot of chicken, usually baked, with a vegetable and a starch. We were both lean, healthy, and always had energy. I played every sport I could find, we went camping frequently. Ever since moving out onto my own, I have slowly put on weight, leading to health issues, and I almost never have energy. The only change I made was in what I ate, not a ton of fast food, but a lot of processed foods, cereals, bread. I wish I knew at the time how important diet would be in my life, and followed her lead. Love you mom, miss you more and more every day...

Cooking needs to come back. It makes me so sad that so many people feel nervous cooking, even my own sis didn't learn as I did and fed her. It is a universal skill for anyone of any sex or gender.
I agree, I think gardening is too. Everyone is relying on the government or fast food places for their food.
Maybe bring back Home Economics classes where they teach about cooking and processed foods. That may help a little.
Or perhaps parents could actually teach their own children something as basic as cooking. We all have the internet at our fingertips now, the only excuse for ignorance is stupidity, and unfortunately often times that is passed along genetically.

It’s sad anyone would blindly trust any government or what they say. They’re rarely the model for integrity.
As a former school cook. We were requires to give 6th graders 660 caleries. No more than 30 percent fat, no more than 10percent saturated fat. To get the caleries up without raising the fat most schools make up the difference with processed high sugar products.
My mother starting teaching my brothers and I to cook when we were kids - it was our job to sous chef for her each night. She was and still is an excellent cook. She was raised on a farm and was taught to cook by her mother. She taught us how to pick out good produce, eat what is in season and to cook from scratch as much as possible. And she did this while working full time as a teacher. She rocks. Now I am teaching my 10 year-old son those same lessons.

Sounds like an awesome line of mothers
One of the greatest gifts my mother ever gave me was teaching me how to cook from scratch with fresh ingredients. In 28 years of marriage my wife has cooked 2 meals and i'm completely ok with that. a few days after we were married i saw my new bride open the refrigerator and just stand there blankly staring inside. Then i literally saw her shoulders drop and could almost hear her silently thinking "what in the heck am i going to make this guy for dinner?" i could see the stress on her face. i jumped up and said.. I GOT THIS! I poured her a glass of wine and ushered her to the couch. i make the lists, do the shopping and we dine like royalty.... thanks to those early cooking lessons from my mother. no matter how tired i might be, i get a second wind when i cook for her.
I never eat fast food and avoid processed food. Mostly eat veg, fruit, nuts, and meats. If I can’t make it to the store and have no fruits or veg for a few days, I actually start to crave them. Also, if I do happen to eat something processed, I can taste a lot of sugar and chemical-ish tastes. I made my husband fajitas, yesterday, with a prepackaged/ processed sauce and I couldn’t stand the taste. Peoples’ taste buds have been trained to think that food is supposed to taste much different than what it should.
Exactly..I can totally relate to ur comment...when I was continuously eating processed food ..I was not able to detect the high sugar and chemicals
Whenever I drink coca-cola or any sort of those beverages, they all taste like sugar and water to me. And nowdays packaged foods taste like bad oil to me.
"Chemical-ish taste" ua sure ya can...🤣😂
Absolutely! I feel like regurgitating when I smell fast food now.
Very true, after being released from the hospital in 2017, I started eating more plant based foods. Eventually, processed foods made me feel sick. Now I grow my own fruits and make my own juices. I just need more ground foods on a regular rotation on my land.

I stumbled across this video at the absolute right time. I recently decided to give up processed foods after it had finally registered that the more processed foods you have, the more processed foods you WILL want. The sugars that they dump in so much that we eat makes it so addictive and have you coming back for more like a crack addict. So I have legit started looking at certain foods like straight up drugs, and now proud to say that I am 7 days clean and intend to stay that way. The less fatty and sugar laced foods you have the less you will crave it. Break the cycle, get off their hamster wheel. Whole foods only.

I was raised by a mom from the South who fried everything, only ate veggies out of a can and was always baking cakes, cookies and pies. I'm just now learning as an adult how to properly eat. I had diabetes, a fatty liver, and swollen feet and ankles by the age of 14!! Please take this man's advice! A high sugar diet is nothing more than a self-indulgent slow death.

30 preme 😂niceee
It is not indulgence, it is addiction. Missing the point. It has to be legislated out because the corporations are poisoning us.
Yeah it’s all in how we’re raised to eat. I am also southern, however my family always had a large garden every summer where we grew lots of veggies and froze and canned them. We didn’t buy a lot of junk food because we couldn’t afford it at the time, and my mom cooked baked chicken much more often than anything fried. We did eat plenty of fat though. Most of my family is healthy, we didn’t start getting fat and unhealthy until sugar and processed food consumption went up.
Skip all processed foods. Eat varied. Eat protein rich foods. Do strength training 3 times a week with 30 minute cardio warm up. Don't lift more than you can with perfect form to prevent injuries. Stretch every day after a short warm up. Sleep 8-9 hours every night. If you can't exercise because it makes you feel worse you might have sleep apnea. Get it checked out. This has been my personal recipe against weight control and depression. If it worked for me it probably will work for you.
7 Years later and still gold! No, I am not a doctor and I will try my best to fact-check and understand nutritional advice from the internet in the future, but getting to hear competent, experienced doctors shine light on the things the food industry doesn’t want us to know/what the diet industry has suppressed and not said because of monetary motivation coming from the food industry has been a privilege. I’ll save this video and share
For anyone looking to lose fat there are 3 very simple steps, or pillars: 1) Stop consuming refined sugar and processed foods with high amount of added sugar (you can still incorporate some junk food, but make sure it has little added sugar and fructose). Mainly stick to 1 ingredient foods basically. Don't cut macronutrients, eat it all. 2) Exercise 3 times a week. Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Do somekind of a resistance training regiment, such as calisthenics or weights. Exercising won't actually lose you fat in the short-term, but it will in the long-term when you build a decent amount of muscle mass. This is a delay gratification type of game. 3) Delay your breakfast for as long as possible when you wake up. For example I wake up at 8AM and have my breakfast at 12AM, or 1PM, or even beyond that. This will help you get rid of that visceral fat. Visceral fat is causing your fat problems, because it causes insulin and leptin resistances. Hope this helps anyone.

Thank you, Doctor Lustig. You changed my life in less than a month. I'm a 56-year old newly diagnosed diabetic. I was taught to cook by my mother at an early age, and have cooked my entire life, and yet I had an HBA1C of 51 mmol/mol last month. :( I've cut carbs drastically, and upped my fat intake, as well as cut all seed oils completely out of my diet. In one month I have lost 3kg from my 100kg starting weight, lost most of the fat from under my chin, and my ankles aren't itchy any more. My morning glucose is down to 6.7 - just 0.3 away from a non-diabetic daily test! I know I can beat diabetes with my new more healthy diet - and I can easily avoid most carbs - and I know that gradually my cells will recover as they reproduce with lower levels of glucose present, so that eventually my insulin resistance will reduce and my body will be able to process my food correctly, and I will be much healthier. For decades I thought I was doing OK, and I put on some weight but I wasn't obese. But in reality, I abused my poor pancreas and my poor liver, even though I don't drink alcohol - by constantly eating high-carb foods, and dosing on sweet things fairly regularly. My poor cells simply could not tolerate it long term, and diabetes is the result. I wish I had been properly educated many years ago, as I lost a lot of energy in the last couple of years, due to my poor ability to process my food, and the toxins created in my body by seed oils in processed foods. We can only hope the truth finds a way to get through to the population, and soon we could see people picketing outside supermarkets with placards saying, "STOP KILLING US WITH VEGETABLE OILS", and, "GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, CARBS KILL PEOPLE".
Inspired by this message. Thank you!
We are so thankful having this kind of Doctor.
As a child my father showed a teaspoonful of sugar. He took the lighter and heated under the teaspoon. Unknown to me a small child 👶 the sugar began to go black. He told me that this is what sugar does to your insides and it will kill you. I was born in the 60s. I have never had a fizzy drink or sugar in my life and I look 20 years younger than my age. Lucky 🍀 me 💐🇬🇧🍯
Your father was a moron. Sugar is nescessary for energy and muscles. Yet not in the amount we use today. Genes determine aging. Not sugar. Do realize that most sugarfree stuff have replacements that are more harmfull than sugar. Have a good life.
Shanna - you are right, the body needs NATURAL sugars, not processed sugars. The sugar in the spoon is poisonous. They process it to make it white (as all sugars are beet or cane sugars), put starches in them to keep it from getting sticky, some places even put bone meal to help keep it white. Suagrs from fruits is what our body needs, anything unprocessed. His father did him a favor & kept him healthy.
@@ShannaNL You might rather be a moron yourself. The science about the harmful effects of sugar is widely accepted. But you know it better then the scientists of course.
@@preciousllama4942 The whiteness of the sugar is not the point, usually the things you mentioned are not added to it either. The problem is the concentration of the sugar I.E. the amount of it you ingest. Best is to have as little as possible to reduce the amount of insuline produced by the body.
@@ShannaNL wrong. Body needs fat and some protein. Makes glucose by itself
Nearly perfect video. Content and presenter are amazing. Really wish there was closed captions available.
I've been on a very strict diet for 4.5 months. Very low calorie and low sugar. I've made my colitis problems virtually go away. Lost over 50 lbs.
Explain what your "strict" diet consists of... how many meals etc.

Not trying to diagnose myself but doing this until I get to a Dr. The REAL issue for me is to STOP consuming the things I know are causing me issues. I have started that just now a couple days ago but it is a fight to STICK to the diet that will help keep me well. So I am fighting that now. I did a head massage and that did help.

@@marlak4203 Intermittent fasting also helps giving energy back. It helps rebalancing your body/ your sugar addiction. People feel sluggish because their body is used to having a higher glucose level. Also yes, avoid processed food as much as possible those have sugars that your body absorbs easily.
Reversed my Type II diabetes by ketogenic diet. All diabetic medications are gone. Dropped 45 lbs. Progress not perfection. Heard that somewhere. “You can do it!”
Dr. Cyrus Khambatta says it is fat that reduces glucose absorption. It is basically a food combining issue. Fructose in fruit gets absorbed with no involvment with insulin.
Same here. Better yet, I had super high liver enzymes, and my liver physically hurts when I turn my body. With healthy Keto and I.F, my liver enzymes are back to normal, lost 60 lbs in 4.5 months.

I’m glad I grew up in the era where we had a big garden and canned all the vegetables and ate at home. To get to eat out was a very rare occasion.
It's taken me about 5 years, but I'm finally turned off by sugar. I had to develop the taste for salty / savory herb and spice taste with fats.
How old are you?
Congratulations Mark, I don't know if I can ever do that!🤠
Never really understood the craze for sugar
@@christianxxx9393 50
Refined sugar is horrible is large quantities...
Fact, fat does not make you fat, sugar makes you fat. I’m a 55yr old menopausal woman who has been over weight for years following low fat diets. Nothing worked until I cut out the sugar and went low low carb eg, keto/carnivore and has so far lost 25kg in 12 months. Eating non inflammatory fats such as animal, coconut, olive and almond oils made made me lose weight and cutting out canola and vegetable oils made a huge difference. Low fat = higher sugar as they substitute fat for more sugar to make it taste better. Try it everyone who has/is battling their weight as it worked and continues to work for me after 12mths of kicking high carbs
Great presentation with life changing and saving potential. One can hear the passion in his presentation as well as see the time and work he and his team put in obtaining information supporting his findings. I am that rare soul who has always had questions not addressed for info I was receiving. They generally came from a natural feeling place that, by my observation of the curcumstance, did not fully explain what I'd observed. This annoyed many instructors and was pleasing to the best instructors. I wonder which category he would fall under if I was one of his students. I was stumbled on this video and was pulled in when I tuned in to his commentary. I just hated that at every opportunity he stopped short of, what I'm sure he is fully aware of, calling it all an attack on all of those aware and not aware. I even noticed cover as in one case he exampled stating that if a particular government saw certain numbers they would have shut it all down decades ago. As there's no ones job to look for the info he descibed and still wasn't up to the filming of this presentation. He named Nixon, and if he knows about Nixon's role, then he knows about the circle of politically powerful people who were part of his admin. Not to mention his mentors and those he was closely affilited with, who coincidentally also became POTUS's and went steps further in making our food supply what it is today. Not to mention the health conditions common today that are consequent of those actions. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he became part of one of the major industries that benefits, even today, from the way the food industry operates. He even stated "they didn't teach us about this in medical school" and "I knew this and they beat it out of me". In hearing his intelligent and detailed presentation he knows he should be an activist/whistleblower. I say that but understand that he also must be aware of such a path and the real dangers it would certainly pose. The man went so far as to detail how it effects global affairs as well as the stock market. In this nation, there is where you'll always find hidden evidence of intent and who the orchestraters are; where the money ends up. As they say follow the money.

Hello Annette......
Quality of calories is so much important. Calories with goodness of nature gives satiety and lowers appetite. But processed calories wreck havoc in the body leading to increased waist line and high blood sugar.
Love your work Dr. Lustig
For anyone with their eye open for nutrition information this is not "new news" but this is a very detailed and palatable delivery. Should be essential viewing for everyone with an interest in the well being of humans.
There are a lot I mean a lot that have no clue about these facts .
Your Jack lalanne a nutritionist And physical fitness advocate . When I was a little kid in the sixties he had a television show on and taken people through different the calisthenics they could do and advocating eating the whole foods. Years later I saw him on late night TV I think it was a Letterman Or Conan. But he was doing jumping jacks and skipping rope, doing push UPS. When asked what his secret was he said if he should if man made it don't eat it! He invented the juicer which is a marvelous product I just eat the whole vegetables cause I need the fiber. But I had gotten injured and gained a bunch of weight once you wait long story short I was a full blown diabetic I started watching Dr Lustig and also a Dr Sten Ekberg . Both on KZhead I lost a 110 pounds in a year I've only had 2 sodas and 12 months and I didn't even finish them they were diet sodas I just had a taste for When I went out with my son a couple times but the water I'm hooked I'm hooked on water And of course Whole Foods Doctor Lustig he really breaks it all the way down. Dr Ekberg's are shorter What very well done and what it is is this will end with if you like this video you might want to watch this one and there'll be a choice of 1 or 2 that go right with what he was saying. I was a full blown diabetic no I don't take any insulin at all. God-bless you all

I used to live in the US for one year.

My favorite was the cottage cheese, which was quite good in my opinion... It is a shame that such a wealthy country has so much cheap and junk food everywhere....

5:35 "It was supposed to liberate women from the kitchen." According to Laura Shapiro, during the 1950s many married women with kids managed to hold down an outside job while continuing to cook meals for their families without much strain. If they cut corners, it was on cleaning, not cooking. www.amazon.com/Something-Oven-Reinventing-Dinner-America/dp/014303491X But the thing was, these women already knew how to cook. They had the skills to whip up a reasonable dinner in 30 minutes or so. The damage came because the ad campaigns for convenience foods made the boys and girls feel that cooking was both an arduous task and a completely unnecessary skill to master. As Jamie Oliver puts it, our food culture was broken. Fixing it will require a massive public education project.
Not many women worked in the 1950s
Not many women worked in the 1950s
If women worked, which many didn't it was usually part time hours.
Terra bull yes the did, school teachers were nearly all women as were cleaners. However, they had nearly no choice as to where to work.
@@barbarachristina2026 There were plenty of women who beyond the household, not just the kitchen, and the kids did not need to go to an outside job; that's true enough though there were plenty of exceptions--cleaners, secretaries, teachers in elementary through junior high schools, meter maids, etc; but this idea that women did very little work because they didn't need to is an idea perpetuated by men of the time to keep women safely in their control. And keeping up a household full of kids is a lot harder even by itself than most men seem to realize.

Gig Tobacco is the food companies....they are the same companies. Phillip Morris owns half your food.
Many other culprits are also involved, not least Congress, the USDA, the AHA. Insofar as the food companies are more culpable, it is only because they are more competent at their jobs than politicians, bureaucrats, and doctors. Sometimes the extraordinary competence of capitalism has bad results.
Thanks, Dr Lustig for fighting tirelessly on so many fronts for the future of humanity!
These are all statements made by Lustig, the idiot: "Sugar - because of its unique composition is the only food on the planet that is both fat and carbohydrate at the same time. " "Is there one reaction in your body that actually requires sugar? Zero." "Even fatty fruits - coconut, olives, avocado - have no carbohydrates." "There is no foodstuff on this planet that have both fat and carbohydrate at the same time. It is one or the other because that is evolution - that is nature - that is what God did."

Thats how I judge speakers to find the truth. Specifically now with Corona virus "epidemic"
A hero David fighting goliath providing the depressing truth. Vitamin D is good for depression and deficiency is a significant worldwide problem contributing to disproportional deaths from coronavirus and at least four of the top things that kill us, proven in a double blind study. The evidence is clear and published by NIH, but it’s communication sister in HHS, the CDC has not said one word about supporting our immune systems to fight the battle within. Please join the fight by promoting concepts in this letter: WH, Congress, CDC, ETC Missing the Immune-System-Rescue Boat: This is a 5-minute proposal with criticality that becomes clear in 5 seconds. PROBLEM: War on COVID-19 is waged externally, but ignores the internal immunity battlefield. CDC’s COVID-19 website and public service messages do not alert the public of widespread micronutrient deficiencies, critical to immuno-competency, such as Vit.D, in over 69% of Elders, and People of Color. Correlation of D-insufficiency with severity of COVID outcomes is mounting from multiple sources. Dr. JoAnn Manson of Harvard, in a 4-minute video, notes: “...70% lower risk of respiratory infection with vitamin D supplementation. ...the evidence is becoming quite compelling.” www.medscape.com/viewarticle/930152 HHS’s NIH&CDC and ODPHP (created by Congress to “lead disease prevention and health promotion efforts”) do NOT deny criticality of deficiencies, nor benefits of supplementation, as shown in their publications; summarized/quoted herein. According to HHS, preparing for and preventing disease is a CDC directive... Unfortunately, proactive mitigation of immuno-incompetency is absent in their return plans, website, and public service messages. PROPOSAL: CDC should be instructed, through Congressional oversight committees, to promote immune-system optimization for the public and healthcare professionals and institutions. It will not be necessary to convince HHS agencies of their own findings. Guidelines can and must be implemented quickly. CDC needs a battle plan that powerfully promotes: 1. Optimal Immunity-Critical Micronutrients, 2. Multiple Immune-System-Building methods, 3. Internal Viral-Load-Reduction Techniques. PRACTICAL PROOF: The known cure is our immune system… enhancing it is our best weapon on the internal battlefield. The following is gathered only from various HHS agency publications, IF we search the Google jungle: FACT-1: Most COVID infections present no, few, or manageable symptoms, while others suffer or die, ultimately due to immuno-competency differences. FACT-2: Eleven micronutrients, especially A, C, D, & Zinc are critical to immune response. FACT-3: Widespread, hidden deficiencies of D: 69% Hispanics, 82% Blacks, and similar for Elders, are found in these disproportionately impacted groups. Overcoming D- deficiency provides a long-term, far-reaching improvement and overall health: double-blind proven to improve a range of health outcomes: from osteoporosis fractures, to depression, dementia, and major illnesses, including cancer (also immune-system responsive), cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. FACT-4: Some micronutrients are useful at much higher levels than RDA. Doses 7X RDA are safe and beneficial for most. 77% of Americans claim to take supplements, yet 42% are D-deficient, rarely tested, and unlikely to know if they are! FACT-5: “Zinc promotes immune functions and helps resist infectious diseases.” “...supplements reduce...respiratory infections, lowers...deaths from all causes.“ FACT-6: Not everyone is aware of methods to remove viral load from mouth, nose, and throat, or of other physical immunity-building techniques. FACT-7: “Micronutrients are exceptionally deficient in patients suffering from mental disorders.” (As my psychiatrist would say, “Does that tell you anything?”) PREDICAMENT: We have invested in health information that has not been effectively delivered. Dependency on the “Google Jungle”, (which can “confuse the health out of us”!) is letting us all down... with disjointed, difficult to decipher, government health publications. Example: ODPHP lists RDA of D 600iu for adults under 71, (50% more than previous; still often sold/mistaken as 400iu)... while separately publishing safe “max” doses: (ex. 4000iu. of D...much more effective in achieving optimal levels). 10,000 to 20,000 ui can be gained by sun... if not washed off. Failure to advise “stay-home“ compensation for little sun, is just one example of enabling compromised immune systems to contribute to transmission. Which politicians will win hearts, minds, and votes in this call-to-action? POLITICAL SOLUTION: The Democratic Presidential contender’s 4-Step Return Plan, is missing the 1st step...optimizing immune systems! Presumptions that politicians can do nothing, due to Pharma influence, are overcome in an optional “Additional Proposal Support” topic below. The pandemic presents an unprecedented opportunity to elevate personal health permanently, and address our 75% preventable disease load…and its impending bankruptcy of governmental medical insurance. Regardless of the structure of our costly insurance programs, salvation/solvency depends on preventing illness... not just figuring out who gives, gets, and pays... A Penny of Educational Prevention IS Worth a Dollar of Cure. Politicians who promote this type of permanent-benefit proposal will win. If not; we all lose. Winning on the battlefield within, is a best way to mitigate severity AND protect the future of our health, insurance systems, treasury, and sanity. Embarrassingly delayed? “Better late than never” was never more urgent. Filling the immune-system communication gap is a best tactic for our government representatives and hopefuls. Further NIH-published support and details below, are not needed to take action now. ---------- PROPOSAL SUPPORT: Even with vaccines, there is ultimately one cure... a successful immune response. Governments haven’t been proactively providing immune-system protection info. However, Google, overly relied upon by government, contains the following NIH-published summary of a multi-study review; by scientists from BAYER! Their conclusions: “...the immune system needs specific micronutrients, including A, D, C, E, B6, and B12, folate, zinc, iron, copper, and selenium, which play vital, often synergistic roles at every stage of the immune response.” ... “Adequate amounts are essential to ensure proper function of physical barriers and immune cells; however, intakes necessary to support immune function may be higher than current recommended dietary allowances. ...even marginal deficiency may impair immunity. ...supplementation may modulate immune function and reduce the risk of infection.” FALSE PHARMA BLAME: Explanations of why CDC and other official health organizations are mum on immunity-building, based on pharma influence, (as the Supreme Court allows!), don’t fly when shot down: Pharma may influence, but has not enough funds or network of secrecy, to control HHS/NIH/CDC and Congress. 1. Specialized drug profits are not significantly jeopardized by supplements. 2. Pharma is best-positioned for opportunities in patient-customized micronutrients, tuned for age, race, conditions, medications, vitals, genetics, etc. 3. Vaccines and profits, are tenuous, sporadic, irrelevant at the moment, and much less likely to work in micronutrient-deficient immunesystems. Vitamin therapy isn’t going to kill Pharma.... But it’s killing us to underrate and under-educate. Still not convinced immune-system support is a critical weapon…or that people will respond?... Look at the now more rapidly growing, mental-illness “side of the pandemic coin” in an NIH publication: ”4 of 10 leading causes of disability are mental disorders... studies show a lack of certain dietary nutrients contribute to the development of mental disorders.” “Notably, essential vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids are often deficient in the general population… and are exceptionally deficient in patients suffering from mental disorders.” “Studies have shown daily supplements of vital nutrients often effectively reduce symptoms.” “...nutritional supplement treatment may be appropriate for controlling major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and anxiety, eating, and attention deficit disorder/attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD), addiction, and autism.“ Let’s not get sicker for no good reason… Please take action!
I’ve been addicted to KZhead for years. That’s the longest comment I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t read the whole thing. At one point I was going to screen shot it into many snaps in order to re-visit later, but I gave up on that too. The first 20 paragraphs seemed like good info... (I’m on the verge of a gout attack and I still ate 2 chocolate covered bananas while I watched this lecture. I know better but I still do it)
@@nealmonda9690 the problem is that they did find a cure but the huge problem with the Cure is that it's all natural and they have no way of injecting their medicine into it , which makes it completely unpatentable and secondly, it's completely free which makes it completely impossible to put a doctor on a golf course ,,,so instead they decided to demonize The Cure they're trying to demonize certain topics as well like ,urine therapy and *going vegetarian is actually much much healthier for you* !!! why is it they have the Tippy Toe around these facts??? I'd be really curious!!! I can also tell you from personal experience that if you do become vegetarian within a couple days your urine taste just like water and I have fooled Many of folk under the pretense;that if you drink what's in my cup it will cure whatever ails you ...my statement goes on the fact that your creators made you capable of curing yourself with the Waters of life and then the mainstream was set up to demonize it as far as modern medicine if you're going''' if it's so good why don't they say something!!! you may want to consider it's absolutely free!!! how do you make any money out of telling someone here is your cure for cancer!! absolutely painless !!and it's absolutely free !!!how can you put a doctor on a golf course ?? ask a doctor IN PERSON , SINCE BLOOD PLASMA IS .......is drinking my urine bad for me !!!one simple question and these guys are paid to make sure you never !!!!!EVER ask it!!!!! because they might consider you crazy for asking a question to a doctor !!a legitimate doctor!!! on a face-to-face conversation !!you will always get yes, it's okay and then a whole lot of stuff that they were paid to tell you to make sure it stays demonized....to the point that if these guys even mention that if you pee on your cuts it's the best :::::disinfectant, cure ALL WRINKELS, ALL sunburns in a few seconds and I don't care how bad the sunburn is, you still look like a crab but it doesn't hurt ,the list goes on and on of stuff that this can do just putting it on top of your body and then you think they want to destroy !!!the entire Pharmacy business by telling you that it also does stuff inside your body ???it's extremely good for you all over ....where's the benefit if I want to sell you allergy crap??? *it's just that bad guys*

We are taught all of this in school in sweden, I am for once happy to live here
Wtf? For once you are happy to live in Sweden? That's literally one of the best countries in the world to live. You might not have a bill of right and are taxed like crazy but it's a very wealthy country with a high quality of life.
This was the red pill video for me for diet and foods 7 yrs ago. I did make the change to go low carb and consume nutrient dense foods, some fruits. Lost 80 lbs and brain fog and fatigue that has plagued me my whole life is gone.. and I'm still going 6 years strong. And I still come back to this vid as a refresher. Great vid again 👍
I think that this information should appear more on everyone’s recommendations, commenting for the algorithm
Wow! The entire talk was awesome but that last 5 minutes when Dr. Lustig answered the final question had me locked to the screen. Most people know the importance of fiber, but something about the way he explained so well how it works in the body and why we need it has definitely been an eye-opener. I was already trying to eat healthy, but now I am going to make a concerted effort to steer towards more fiber rich foods.
Saint Ken berry says we don't actually need fiber . I agree , think it bungs you up rather than the other way !!
My big realization came when I learned how it affects the microbiome from a Kurtzgezagt video and how it's repeated over over in Gravity Transformation vidoes why it's also good for performance. Been a big advocate for fiber as well since May 2021.
drink 16oz of water with a tbs of psyllium husk powder in it before bed every night
@@marianking1379 try cutting fiber out your diet… you’ll be on the toilet trying to control the downpour
