10 Nutrition Myths | Dr. Zoe Harcombe

[@russellbarnett8823]

Not only does she have a complete grasp of her subject… Zoe is such an entertaining and down to earth speaker

[@karenthomson]

She really is! It was an honor and privledge interviewing her. Thanks for your support, it means so much.

That was hilarious , but l feel so mad that the so called healthy foodlot are trying to kill us , it's absolutely criminal , I'm not that brainy but lf l can get it , why ca.nt our GP ,'s so cross x

[@lucez205]

I cannot stop laughing 😂 "Cholesterol was found at the scene!" Had the same with the lab lady when I had my private lipid panel done. It was 8.28 total. I had 3 exclamation marks next to that number along with another 3 for my LDL with yet another 3 next to my non HDL. She said it was real bad! My HDL had gone over the upper limit with 1 exclamation mark and luckily no mark next to my 0.73 trg. Dr Harcombe, you are hilarious throughout. Thanks for the entertainment. In my case, it was the eggs with their cholesterol at the scene. When my total cholesterol was 5.8 here in the UK some 5 years ago, they called me the very same day to tell me I had to lower it as it posed a threat. Had another test, results came out today. Total 6.4 so awaiting a call at some point to get yet another warning. But my inflammation is the lowest it has ever been and my female hormones are balanced just beautifully for my age. Go figure. Without a proper scan of my arteries is hard to tell.

[@beardumaw24]

Love Dr Zoe ! I was low fat with a low cholesterol level for 40 years and was becoming unhealthy eating so called healthy low fat. Never smoking, no drugs. 4 year ago i switched to higher fat animal based foods diet and started feeling better within days ! Feeling fantastic now after 4 years of animal based foods diet ! Have my strength and muscle back with weight lifting and sprinting, brain fog gone, joint pains gone never get sick now ! Will NEVER go back to low fat plant based diet 🤮. Feeling the best i have ever in my life !

I cannot believe that the red meat derived from factory farming with the use and abuse of antibiotics, the poor feeding practices and the potential and actual stress of confined animals can be healthy for us as opposed to grass fed, organic and humanely treated cattle. However I have not come across any comparative studies on this subject. Over the past couple of years, I am much more discerning about where my meat comes from.Thankfully, living in Ireland , I have access to better food,,, so far.

the word "saturated" is unfortunate; in that it implies it is "saturating the body with fat". Not true. We should rename it.

[@Meathead-10810]

Yes, like "less oxidable" seems quite positive 🤣

[@Lennythewinner]

In another of her presentations, Zӧe Harcombe points out that saturated fats are much more chemically stable [and hence less prone to oxidation as Meathead-10810 points out below], so perhaps 'stable fat' (versus say 'singly unstable' for monounsaturated fats and 'multiply unstable' for polyunsaturated fats) would be a simple, appropriate term.😊

🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏼 Almost all plants contain sterols, but the types and amounts can vary widely depending on the plant species, part of the plant, and growing conditions. Some plants are richer in sterols than others. For example: 1. _Vegetable oils_: Soybean, canola, sunflower, and corn oils are good sources of plant sterols. 2. _Nuts and seeds_: Almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds are high in sterols. 3. _Fruits_: Berries, citrus fruits, apples, and avocados contain sterols, although in smaller amounts. 4. _Whole grains_: Wheat, rice, oats, and barley contain sterols, especially in the bran and germ. 5. _Legumes_: Beans, lentils, and peas are good sources of plant sterols. However, some plants have very low or undetectable levels of sterols, such as: 1. _Mushrooms_ 2. _Seaweed_ 3. _Tea leaves_ (although tea may contain small amounts of sterols) It's worth noting that plant sterol content can also vary depending on factors like: - Growing conditions (climate, soil, etc.) - Plant variety or cultivar - Maturity at harvest - Processing and storage methods In general, a diverse plant-based diet will provide a range of plant sterols. While plant sterols are generally considered safe, there are some potential negative effects to be aware of: 1. _Gastrointestinal side effects_: Some people may experience stomach upset, diarrhea, or abdominal pain when consuming plant sterols. 2. _Interference with fat-soluble vitamins_: Plant sterols may reduce the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K). 3. _Impact on cholesterol ratios_: Plant sterols may lower HDL (good) cholesterol, potentially affecting cholesterol ratios. 4. _Allergic reactions_: Rarely, some individuals may be allergic to plant sterols, experiencing symptoms like hives, itching, or difficulty breathing. 5. _Interaction with medications_: Plant sterols may interact with certain medications, such as cholesterol-lowering drugs or blood thinners. 6. _Impact on reproductive health_: High doses of plant sterols may affect fertility or hormone levels, although more research is needed. 7. _Potential impact on gut health_: Some research suggests that high doses of plant sterols may alter gut bacteria. It's essential to note that these negative effects are generally associated with high doses of plant sterols (>2g/day) or individual sensitivities. Moderate consumption (0.8-2g/day) is typically considered safe. If you have concerns, consult a healthcare professional.

[@mikeinsomerset]

The body needs fibre - needed to produce short chain fatty acids - sorry Zoe - you are out of touch with your views on fibre. Zoe - fibre isn't a waste.

[@masterchiefburgess]

@mikeinsomerset No, Zoe is correct and you are wrong.. When it reaches the colon, some of the fibre (not all) is fermented to make short chain fatty acids like butyrate which are absorbed on the lumen side of the colon. Your body converts these short-chain fatty acids into beta-hydroxybutyrate. However, on a keto or carnivore diet, your body converts the fat you eat into...beta-hydroxybutyrate! The beta-hydroxybutyrate circulates in the blood stream where is is also available. So again, Zoe is correct and you are wrong. The exact requirement for carbohydrates in the human diet is not one gram ever, and that includes fibre.

[@mikeinsomerset]

​@masterchiefburgess true but most can't/ don't stay in Ketosis 100% of the time. In fact very few every get to full blown Ketosis.....

[@masterchiefburgess]

@@mikeinsomerset Don't confuse not being in ketosis with not producing ketones. Most people who go low carb / keto / carnivore will see a rise in the ketone level in their blood initially, while their body is adapting to fat oxidation. After a while, those ketone levels will drop, but all that means is that the body is now more efficient at utilizing ketones. It doesn't mean their body is not producing them. Plus, being in long-term ketosis should never be the goal anyway. If you continually stay in ketosis long-term, it can result in the kidneys dumping electolytes and causing electrolyte imbalances. A proper human diet will result in a person cycling in and out of ketosis. After a meal, for a few hours your body will be bumped out of ketosis, then (probably while you're sleeping) you will re-enter ketosis until your next meal. And you STILL don't need fibre. P.S. what is "full blown ketosis"? It's not a medical term I'm familiar with. What blood ketone value does that occur at?

[@zzcaptainmastiv2727]

thanks Karen Thomson, i like the dog, just sayin'. i learn a lot from the ladies, and i don't use it without knowingly giving credit where credit is due. having said that, degrees are meaningless unless you truly and completely understand how to stay healthy on a day-to-day basis. Does she really know what regulates our health? Most degreed individuals, especially allopaths, and first do no harm medical degrees don't (matter). this is the reality of the uneducated, and the reality of the world we should all be thriving in. So, there are science formulas in the United States sold that work for our benefit. You only have to be aware of where they are and what the importance of using them daily entails. She's right about plant sterols (cholesterol), made by plants is meaningless to our protocol of Mother Nature in humans. thanks again Karen Thomson. BTW, (she's), wrong about the (essential), minerals, this is very - very important to anyone's health and it is very dangerous to get this wrong, there are far more than the amount she said that we need, not many understand this science. For example, now she is talking about Pica, we understand the cause and we understand how to stop it w/the aforementioned indicated formula, actually one is in chocolate (powder - over 3 lbs), form, and one of the others is in a small pill form for choice.
