Thumbs up got Big Chungus

LOVE LOVE LOVE the way you make important information so easily understood.. as well as interesting.
What is odd is why should I model my life after a mouse model when I'm not a rodent. Thankfully, I make my own food choices. These mice didn't have a choice.
it isn't. there are just many people with incentives and deep pockets
This channel is a leading path of my healthy diet of fasting and low-carb, causing me to shred more than 18kg in half year. Thank you deeply.
super distracted by how familiar the background music is in the beginning. it sounds like it’s been slowed from its original tempo, anyone have an idea what the name of the song is?
"[C]laims like 'such and such food prevents or causes disease' are very different from claims like 'compounds in such and such food prevent or cause disease.'" Great video, thank you.
Yes! I noticed the variables in my studies when I was in class becoming a certified nutritionist- it drove me nuts that the researchers came to hard conclusions with so many variables
From using that image of "man whos eaten multiple eggs per day," I got the impression that he was Mediterranean.
Likely he ate the dish shakshuka. About 6 eggs & tomatoes.
What if the 2-eggs a day person had the diner type breakfast. Processed sausages, boxed orange juice, commercial muffins.
Point is, the dishes we grow up with really plays a role in what we'll eat. No matter the reasoning, all that matters is seasoning.
It’s not complicated. Number one dont listen to what the government tells you. Number two cut out sugar from your diet. Number three cut out processed food from your diet. The rest you can figure out.
One of the great problems of observational studies are faulty memories or tracking, directing questionnaires, and uncontextual analysis.
Medical science makes things way harder than necessary. We have the gift of observation of groups of humans (not rats!) by regions, cultures and habits. Everyone can tell how eating certain things makes them feel. Then there's logic. Natural is better than Synthetic. As humans we wrongly trusted stupidly in the name of profits.
nice job putting Key and Peele sex detective as your diagetic montage example of a detective.
It really ISN'T that complicated at all.
Beautiful video
It's not confusing, eat fruit and veg, fresh, stop eating processed crap. simple
If you kill off all the military age men and then you have an infant death ratio of zero for a generation by means of having no children, it does wonders for your life expectancy numbers on the survivors. They start out old and they just keep getting older!
As for the murder mystery, if you want to know who killed John, I'll say it was John's wife and be right 60% of the time. Where are you going to find a nutritional statistic that reliable?
The research is so 'conflicted' if in fact it is real science that I'll just skip both breakfast and lunch and stick to a Keto based OMAD regimen.
Both my lab results and my physique are doing just fine.
Watching this video was like having my brains liquified in a blender, except not as pleasant.
Humans are frugivores, why it is so hard to understand? Fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds are what we should eat. Also we shouldn’t use chemicals on our food so we can eat healthy bacterias for us.
Yes: a Big Chungus is not the same as a human, from a dietary standpoint.
HDL 48
LDL 100
Triglyceride 64
Vegetarian whole foods mostly, occasionally ceremonial meat, occasional liquor, occasional junk food. Moderate exercise. Occasional fasting.
Avoid stress, enjoy life, work less.
1:10.Okinawans lived long because the strong and healthy survived the military attacks on the city. Not due to carbohydrates.
17:52 lol you spilled your coffee
Humans tend to complicate stuffs. Best nutrition with science support?

I can't wait until we have a true nutritional understanding.
I can not eat many things. Especially things that cause me grief. I do not listen to certain people. I got logical question for them, but even refuse to talk,see,or hear them.
Wait what! Im supposed to go to the superior school of nutritions and food science this octobre.
Ah the conundrum of the 21st century polarized politicized disinformation age. Which pieces of information are meaningfully true?
Why don't you facecam
so i guess it's just misrepresentation of data?
Because you haven't been to Dr. Eric Bergs youtube page. That will make everything understandable.

"Why is Nutrition Science so Complicated?" – Because it's so simple that you cannot make money with it without make it look hard.
When you eat a big mac meal at mcdonalds with a large fry and coke, You're getting only getting 25g of protein from the meat. The bun is 45g of carbs, the large fry is 66g, the large coke soda is 77g of carbs. You're eating like 200g of carbs with 25g of protein, you are not eating meat, you are eating an 90% carb meal. Even the small amount of meat is cooked in transfats, which inflame the arteries. People assume that americans eat a ton of meat, when in reality the average american diet is 90% refined carbs
Nutrition does not have to be confusing. Use some common sense.
I have come to realise one thing and one thing only about nutrition science. JERF. Just Eat Real Foods and avoid simple carbs and cheap fats like the plague.
This was so frustrating to try to understand that I almost don’t even care lol just eat in moderation screw all these scientists were gonna die someday somehow
Diseases of the Information Era = Misinformation
Basically if the description for your food is longer than one line, it's too processed. Eat natural, eat simple, simple foods are digested and used simply, you wouldn't want to complicate the energy system of your body. There's a saying in Chinese, all diseases comes from the mouth. Meaning whatever you eat is the source of your health, wealth, and happiness. Eat smart, eat conscious, eat simple.
17:50 coffee spill
I think all this stressing over finding the perfect diet (among other things) is what’s actually killing us. Eat a diverse diet but everything in moderation. Get regular exercise. Fast occasionally. Eventually something will kill you no matter what you do. Just live your life.
I am done living by science.I am just done!
Now I don't know if I am eating properly.
