Eating Eggs Increases the Risk of Dying from Heart Disease? - Doctor Reacts

For people who have liver or gallbladder issues, it's very important to make sure you're getting enough choline in your diet. The body uses choline to make phosphatidylcholine, a substance that keeps your bile thin and fluid. If you go for a long time on too little choline (like someone on a vegan, vegetarian, or SAD diet) your bile with be thick and clumpy and you'll develop waxy bile stones in your liver and gallbladder. Some of these stones can develop a calcified outer layer and become hard as rocks. The two foods which are highest in choline are eggs and beef liver. They tell us to avoid these foods, and then we wonder why everybody is getting their gallbladders removed. Well, you've rendered it dysfunctional by years or decades of nutritionless eating.

[@btudrus]

choline together with methionine is also essential for gluthation which is our endogenous antioxidant, to work properly and be properly reused....

[@TheKingdomWeigh]

Interesting, I eat 6-12 eggs/ day. No gallbladder for over 50 years now

[@Nangeala]

I had my first gall stone attack 12 yrs ago. I havent had one in 3 years. The amount of time Ive been carnivore. I am 100% certain that the constant movement of bile out of the bladder is the reason why. People need to eat fat daily to prevent this issue, but instead we are told to avoid fat like its the plague all our lives. Especially girls, and the yoyo dieting I did as a teenager and young adult is probably why I developed stones, eventhough I was never above a 23 bmi.

Dr. Westman, your remark that chicken eggs don't need Vitamin C to hatch, beginning at 19:20, is wrong. The reason chickens don't need exogenous Vitamin C is because, unlike humans, chickens - like most animals - can synthesize their own. It is therefore not a vitamin for them. Vitamin C is made by a series of enzyme-driven steps which convert glucose to ascorbic acid. This is done either in the kidneys (reptiles and some birds), or the liver (mammals and perching birds). The loss of an enzyme which is essential for ascorbic acid synthesis has occurred quite frequently in evolution. It has happened in most fish, many birds; some bats, guinea pigs and most but not all primates, including humans. The mutations have not been lethal because ascorbic acid is so common in various food sources, especially fruit. It was only realized in the 1920s that some cuts of meat and fish are also a source of vitamin C. As with fruit and vegetables, cooking destroys the vitamin C content. In living organisms, ascorbate is a strong antioxidant. It is also a cofactor in at least eight enzymatic reactions, including several collagen synthesis reactions that cause the most severe symptoms of scurvy when they are dysfunctional. In animals, these reactions are especially important in wound-healing, and to prevent bleeding from capillaries. Vitamin C is needed for the production of collagen in the connective tissue. It is required for making dopamine, noradrenaline, and adrenaline in the nervous system or the adrenal glands. Vitamin C is also needed to make carnitine, important in the transfer of energy to the mitochondria. Tissues with greatest percentage of vitamin C - over 100 times the level in blood plasma - are the adrenal glands, pituitary, The brain, spleen, lung, testicle, lymph nodes, liver, thyroid, small intestinal mucosa, leukocytes, pancreas, kidney, and salivary glands usually have 10 to 50 times the concentration present in plasma.

Having backyard chickens has been a game changer! Our ladies' eggs are larger than the "large" store bought, their yolks are a deeper orange, and they taste better. We allow them to free range half the day and they have plenty of space once back in the coop. If you own your own home or have a decent landlord, check your county laws regarding backyard chickens. They are easier to care for than cats or dogs and you don't need a rooster to get eggs. Four hens could provide enough eggs for a family of 2-4, depending on daily egg consumption.

I can also vouch for the educational and motivational value of Dr Sten Ekberg's videos. I also enjoy his seemingly radical experiments on himself, e.g. eating 10 eggs or 100 grams of butter, every day for 10 days, analyzing his blood test results before - after, because they can be effective for curing egg-phobia or fat-phobia, etc. I have only seen one reaction from Dr Westman, not against the main subject matter of Dr Ekberg's video (it was vitamin D), but disagreeing with Dr Ekberg's (and most doctors' ?) assertion that blood plasma levels of this vitamin tell you if you are deficient or not.

It's all true guys. I am here to educate you. I was eating eating 8 egg yolks a day in my coffee, and 3-4 whole eggs a day cooked in beef tallow. Because of this I actually died a few years ago, and am a ghost haunting youtube. True story.

Dr. Westman ans Dr. Berg are two of my favorite keto experts😊

[@kevinfidler8074]

Sake of argument if what those vegan "doctors" say is true about eating eggs and meat we wouldn't be here today, because our ancestors would have died from eating meat and eggs. Especially during long winters when meat, eggs, fish, and cheese are probably all that would have been available. They might have had lacto fermented veggies during the winter as well

[@jfdomega7938]

Well said, very good point there! I wonder what their answer would be to that? 😂

[@amylitchfield7658]

Quick question on the caged chickens vs roaming grass fed; what are your thought on farm raised salmon vs wild caught?

[@johncronin5311]

Are you even serious? That is the dumbest question. I have ever heard. Congrats

[@squarewheel142]

I have been eating 4 eggs per day on an average of 6 days a week for about the last 45 years, I'm 65 and have the blood pressure of an Olympic Athelete, and am in pretty good overall health.

[@thomashughes4859]

I had a friend who won't be my friend anymore because I'm carnivore. Sadly her husband died of ALS and ironically he was "a tree-hugging vegan" - her words. I know there's a connection there. I'm waiting for Amy Berger's information on ALS and the keto diet. Be well! ❤

[@joyshuman2727]

sorry to say but Als can be caused by lyme disease which means that bacteria in the central nervous system is involved not any diet!

[@telliturna4998]

Uruguay, NZ and the USA has the highest rate of ALS and India has relatively low percentage ...you do the deduction.

[@thomashughes4859]

@@telliturna4998 According to data from the Lancett, "The contribution of non-communicable neurological disorders to total DALYs in India doubled from 4·0% (95% UI 3·2-5·0) in 1990 to 8·2% (6·6-10·2) in 2019". India is no stranger to neurological diseases apparently. ALS contributes to 4/100000; however, their "reporting" is severely limited, and being sick in general seems to be taboo. ALS in the US afflicts 0.8% according to the CDC. Your opinion is interesting; however, when we compare steak to ribeyes, your numbers are inadequate to demonstrate even a statistical correlation, sorry about that. I stand by what I've said because we know the mechanism that plants simply cannot supply the proper human amino and fatty acids, which are associated with ALS.

[@websterdoris3014]

Thank you Dr Westman ❤ Go Ketovore 😊

[@altosack]

Well, I ate ~3000 raw egg yolks during each of 2012,-13, &-14. I’ve cut down a bit since then; I now eat 6 sunny-side up egg yolks ~6 days/week. Well, I don’t appear to be dead, ldl-c=275, hdl=78, trg=45 (yes, I’m a lean mass hyper-responder). At 57, I’m doing 35-lb weighted pull-ups for reps and 10k runs regularly.

Dr. Berg is a gifted educator. His advocacy of high quality foods encourages people to raise their awareness of the nutritional and health benefits of consuming organic and farm raised foods. This fosters very positive attitudes, and people love the education.

[@kimcochran5262]

I had a great Great Uncle that ate a dozen eggs every morning for decade's. He lived over 100 years of age !!!

[@LisaBell]

Thank you!

[@survivalist0723]

About the studies: It all depend in what "physiological state" you are and I have experienced it: are you in the "keto-state" (meaning you have high concentration of ketones in the blood/urine) or not. The studies about eggs did not specify the physiological state I presume and are for people on a "normal or a vegetarian diet". When I am in that keto-state I can eat more than 10 eggs without any problem; I did it once and made no habit of it. When I am NOT in that keto-state and on a normal diet: 10 eggs can kill me I know (because too much cholesterol), I feel my heart hurts then; I would not dare to eat more then 2 or 3 eggs at a time, never 10 eggs ... Caution: I speak only for myself of course, I am not responsable when people try this. Its always on your own risk; donot blame me! But I think keto-dieters know this also. The same thing goes with butter etc... (To reach the keto-state it can last between 3 to seven days.)

[@gerrywaneck377]

Please discuss the effects on blood sugar and insulin of a low carb diet, where the carbs come mainly from fresh fruit, combined with intermittent fasting. It's my understanding that the sugar in high fiber fresh fruit doesn't enter the blood stream, because it isn't digested in the small intestine. The fruit sugar is fermented to VFA in the colon. I don't have a glucose or keto monitor, but I'm losing weight and feel great on this diet. I don't get hungry during my 16-18 hr fast. Is the fruit bad for my liver?

[@LiLi-ws7qz]

Yes ,from what I know,the fructose in the fruit can only be metabolized in the liver, if the fruit you are eating contains high amount of fructose such as tropical fruit, mangos, pineapple, it will burden the liver and too much and too frequently of eating high fructose fruit can lead to non-alcoholic fatty liver, so it's recommended that we take Berries in small amounts if you have insulin resistance.

[@gerrywaneck377]

@@LiLi-ws7qz That's true if the fructose enters the bloodstream, as with fruit juice. But it's known that whole fruit passes through the small intestine undigested. In the colon, microbes will ferment the sugar before it can enter the bloodstream. Without a CGM or keto monitor, I don't know the answer.

[@eringo-bragh4243]

When I was in mental health and Risperdal was about to be rolled out. All the research studies states that the dose was 6 mg as the most effective practice. Fast forward to putting it out in the community, practitioners find 3 mg is the normal dose that works. Research is needed but rarely reflects what's going on in nature

[@MyChilepepper]

So eggs cited 😂 Thank you for all the good that you do. Keep calm carry on keto health

[@georgiaguy4114]

People have been eating eggs for thousands of years. I was lucky enough that my mother cooked breakfast every morning. That breakfast had either scrambled or fried eggs. I am now 68 years old retired and my Doctor says to keep eating the eggs daily.

[@truthmatters7805]

My dad ate eggs and bacon almost everyday for 91 years. Never went to a Dr. He was in The Big Red One a Combat Infantry Marksman in WWll. Survived that and 9 children. He finally had to go because he was having severe back pain. He was misdiagnosed with a common bone spur so the Dr said. He was sent home with cream for his back. He suffered 4 weeks and at 6'2 180 lbs he was dropping weight fast. I had him rushed to the ER by ambulance and a Doctor from Cedar Sinai rushed him in for a full body scan and told us it has nothing to do with his back! He had a Volvulus aka twisted intestine!😡My dad was right!! John 3:16....John 13:6. I will be seeing him soon👍☺️

[@maryloomis8075]

So sorry for your loss. So many doctors can't diagnose!

[@nickolasvlachos4013]

Thank you for analyzing/confirming Dr Berg's video on eggs. Even after 1.5 years on low carb and with a phenomenal personal improvement in well-being, I still find it impossible to convince my otherwise nutrition-conscious 84 year old mother (in need of conserving muscle mass) to go beyond her 4 - 5 eggs per week. The scaremongering about eggs has gone far beyond the planting of seeds of doubt, and this applies beyond the USA too. Even in Greece, where I'm reporting from, your doctor will be shocked if you report eating a couple of eggs more than 2 - 3 times weekly, even if these are sourced directly from the village from a farmer you know. Mirroring a few of the other comments, I also observe the good feeling from eating eggs, as a next-day effect but also later within the same day of having eggs for breakfast (it seems to be more pronounced if the yolk is not cooked, i.e. less so with omelet). Wouldn't trust myself to report such an effect a couple of years ago but low carb seems to bring about a major shift in the baseline "feeling okay" threshold, both in overall "next-day" feeling but also in the more immediate gastrointestinal signals after a meal. Don't know if this is normal or not.

[@theresa94010]

How lucky you are to be living in Greece !

[@nickolasvlachos4013]

@@theresa94010 😃 Perhaps, in some ways. Do not imagine everyone here has access to all-natural traditional foods or to stuff direct from the farm, or that we all live on/near the Mediterranean coast in tranquil village conditions. There's plenty of processed food and stressful living here too, unfortunately. If there is something that is perhaps better than in more western countries, it's that social relations tend to be somewhat closer/warmer here, but there seems to be gradual attrition in this too, especially in the cities...

Followed Eric Berg but not following anymore,after I found out he participates in the cult of Scientology.

[@lena-mariaglouis-charles7036]

What does Dr. Berg's personal beliefs (which are private - and he's never spoken of on his YT channel...) have to do with the free health tips he provides (to anyone who's interested...) on a regular basis? I don't agree with what Scientology teaches - however, I fail to see what Dr. Berg's personal beliefs have to do with his common sense, no nonsense health tips...?

[@rerun7378]

I almost quit for that reason too. But I said ok, let’s see if he pushes it. He doesn’t. So I keep watching him.
