Are the Masai healthy? Is omega 6 really unhealthy? Judy Cho interviews Dr Paul Mason.

[@ceciliandunge8026]

Am Kenyan and it's TRUE, the kikuyu have a high carbohydrate diet compared to the maasai. Though things are changing now and the maasai eat some carbohydrates not as much though. And the maasai rarely go to the hospital, they rarely get sick and when sick its herbs from the forest.

[@650tonyd]

I wonder what these herbs are that they use? They would be beneficial instead of using over the counter pharmaceuticals

Well, if you live in the USA good luck. However the powerful pharmaceutical corporations will just lobby the government and the FDA will outlaw these magic herbs as unsafe for human consumption.

I don't think Masai follow a carnivore diet. Not when I went to visit them. They do eat carbs too. Masai also are mega active and burn calories.

[@antoinetteparry8575]

Paul, I had severe arthritis for years until I gave up dairy. I had never eaten cheese but I gave up the rest and the arthritis disappeared almost immediately. Not the end of the story however. I couldn't believe that fat would do the damage, so, I reintroduced butter to cook with and it did no harm, and then I began using cream in my coffee. That did no harm either. So I think it has to be something in the milk. The caseine or the lactose, or both. Either way, they're not in cream.

Dr. Mason, thanks so much for your explanation about LDL and how it goes bad. I've watched several of your interviews and lectures on youtube. I would like to get my GP to watch. I try to talk to him about my carnivore diet, he says "everything in moderation". He's a little rotund and understands carbs are bad, but he is Lebanese and says food is a big part of their culture. One reason he gives for not promoting low carb is he knows his patients will not comply. Most of them are Middle Eastern. Of course, I only see the sick ones in his waiting room, but I know a low carb lifestyle would help them more than a doctor visit. :)

It sounds like Paul is stating that unless the omega-6 has oxidized before you eat it, it’s not an issue. That would mean non-oxidized linoleic acids from seed oils (if you can get any that aren’t oxidized) would not oxidize within the body. Did I misunderstand? Because that is contrary to everything I’ve understood before. Even the small amounts of omega-6 in meat will oxidize in the body, thus proving oxidative stress is just a part of life and emphasizing the importance of antioxidants from real foods.

[@tallcedars2310]

I learned something interesting. Seed oils are apparently not sold in Africa. If that is the case then they get all their fat from meat and milk, which isn't in a great amount like it is here.

Grazing animals on good pasture actually improve the soil.........modern crop growing means that land is not fallowed in rotation like it used to be......it’s sprayed with chemicals......in order to grow the same crop year after year.......loaded over and over with chemical fertilisers and insect sprays ...which all gets into the product and is ultimately consumed.......and people wonder why they are constantly sick..........dogs and cats are carnivores........this gunk they pass off as dog and cat food i# killing our pets their whole life... carnivores in zoos are NOT fed high carb dry food. because it would kill them.........keep on keeping on guys. 🥰🥰🥰

[@marlenegold280]

When Judy Cho says people are eating too much, (at around 1:00 mark) Please specify what ‘too much’ is. Too vague. This concept of ‘eating too much’ I have seen in many videos. Maybe show what that really is. Also, what is too much for a 5 foot 100 lb female may not be too much for a female who is 5’9”. How would ‘too much’ be calculated? Satiation? Or the inability to be satiated? (A defect in become satiated)? Would exercise be involved in determining what eating ‘too much’? Type of exercise? Doesn’t exercise increase appetite? I believe ‘too much’ is more complicated than just calories or even volume of food. Does this tie in to certain people who have trouble with fat loss, compared to others who show dramatic fat loss? Could it be ‘blame the patient’ scenario, and not taking into account an underlying hormonal issue that has not been discovered or addressed?

Still have low vit D and folate eating greens and walking without a shirt in the sun 3-4 days a week. The good news im no longer pre diabetic was hoping for an A1C that more closely matched my meter average around 90 but it was 5.4. My c peptide was good at 2.1 snd my HDL/Trig ratio 131/59 was 2.2, c reactive protein 0.5. So no eating mostly or only meat is not a miracle diet and i would recommend if you are reading this get your labs done and watch your kidney function and uric acid.

So when it comes to blood sugar, stability is more important than how high or low it is? I didn't buy a meter until a few months into keto, and at the time it stayed pretty steady around 110, sometimes dipping down to the low 90s or high 80s, but never really going above 110. A few months after going carnivore it now stays steady at around 120. I can't figure out if it's due to eating carnivore or if it could be something else, but it has had me concerned. Should I just be satisfied that it stays steady, not spiking or dropping?

[@LiamE69]

Late reply, but here's the logic. High protein, low fat diets will eventually convert proteins into sugar because proteins can't be used directly for energy. Fatter meats give the fats which can be used directly for energy or converted to ketones. So as Dr Cywes often says, the fat in the diet protects the proteins.

[@Kitiwake]

Yeah... Into keto a couple of years. It's true. Excess protein stimulates insulin resistance. Blood glucose not being broken down. High fat is the way. 70% fat in your meal is the best way.

Wish you guys had discussed the studies showing the increase in the quantities of linoleic acid in American adipose biopsies over the last 100 years. See Chris Knobbes work. My understanding is excess consumption of linoleic acids directly leads to excess Linoleic acid incorporated into cell walls and mitochondria walls and cardiolipin complexes. All of this infiltration has negative consequences independent of oxidation and end products from linoleic acid as you rightly point out. The goal should be to restore the omega 6 levels in our body tissues to the levels we had in 1850. The easiest way? Eat as they did. i.e. eat no mono-gastrics or eggs unless fed ancestrally $$$$

I too am against seed oil but keep planting the seeds you are planting in every Video!

If it's so wonderful, doing without carbs, how come all the long-distance athletes use carbohydrates.

I thought that the problem with grain fed chicken and pork is that linoleic acid from the feed accumulates in the animal's fat to levels similar to linoleic acid in many seed oils. Consuming excess linoleic... even from animal sources... will cause problems because the linoleic acid will be metabolized; many of the metabolites (such as 4-HNE) are highly toxic. Also, excess linoleic acid from any source will become incorporated into cell membranes and will oxidize in vivo. Example oxidized LDL is very dangerous and can lead to arteriosclerosis. LDL will only oxidize with the inclusion of linoleic acid in the cell membrane.

Dr Perlmutter says he consumes 1 litre of olive oil per week.. it's all so confusing, all the expert saying different things

[@warrenklein7817]

Olive oil is not seed oil.

Great content dr Mason!!!

If u eat the anti-nutrient containing foods by themselves, they take the nutrients out of your body instead of just binding to the nutrients in your food. So rather than a net zero (in the case of taking anti-nutrient foods with the nutrient filled foods), you end up with nutrient deficiencies...

Enjoyed this discussion. Good information.

Omg as soon as he said grain fed estrogen meat is good he lost all credibility. People like hearing good news about their bad habits.

[@BigSlimyBlob]

How so? Last I heard, grain-fed meat is still totally fine (omega ratio is a little off but total amounts are low and easily compensated for) and the estrogen levels in the meat of an implanted steer are insignificant (they are 50% higher than non-implanted steers, but the total amount is still virtually zero).

[@trotski43]

That's not what he said.

[@claykh]

From what I've heard, grain fed meats often have added hormones, antibiotics, and a improper omega 3/6 balance.

[@bryanakcasu]

that's not what he said

[@BigPictureYT]

Paul, your camera distorted the shape of your body.

[@yvie01]

Grass fed beef is the ultimate but it is the most expensive per kilo (here in Australia anyway) I think I am still better off eating grain finished beef and eating a carnivore or Low Carb diet than staying away from Grain Fed. I eat the best I can afford

[@quietprofessional4557]

The grass fed meat is more expensive because of industry regulations by government. Making little profit from meat, thus us consumers have the cost put onto us.

[@freemocean489]

Why not mention Linoliec acid? That is where most of the concerns are regarding omega 6

[@marsevar]

I wish she would’ve pushed him harder on the SHBG topic. Paul says it has no effect on testosterone?!? How can that be possible? What is their purpose if not to effect the sex hormones? I’ve felt the effects myself. I love Paul, but this and the oxidation comments have me questioning the information given in some of this interview. Why we all have to do our own research.

[@kdel45]

In defense of tea-- I believe the antinutrients in tea only inhibit the absorption of non-heme iron, not heme iron. I have been on the carnivore diet for 6 years now, and I drink tea every day, throughout the day. I was anemic for years before dropping all plants from my diet. After about 2 months on carnivore, all my iron markers came into the normal range and have stayed there.

[@blizzard5287]

I'm confused, hold on, drinking green tea is bad ?

[@debbiekerekes4209]

Did you have issues with low red blood cell production as well as iron levels? I’ve been carnivore for 6 weeks, still very fatigued. Did your energy improve?

[@colinthomson5358]

Are you eating enough fat and salt?

[@joshuahandfinger9154]

Well, this this might only apply to you, and no one else, and proving that idea is different from “ i think this so it must be true for everyone”. Most folks benefit from the anti inflammatory- antioxidative benefits of black/ green tea

[@knyckname3295]

The tannins in tea causes the depletion of vitamin B1.... vitamin B1 deficiency causes all kinds of problems with the digestive and neurological system.

[@stevenh109]

I like listening to Paul and feel like I trust him. But I also don't want to end up in an echo chamber. I'm sure there are lots of scientists who can quote research papers. How many of us pause the video to independently verify what he's said? I'd love to see him debate the subjects with someone else so that I can reassure myself about the issues.

[@HammyGirl999]

No comments yet? For these rockstars‽ Cheers you two!

[@winsomewife7112]

Leaning back in that chair makes your middle and hands look much larger bcz they end up closer to the camera, lol. I've seen you speak standing and know you're an athlete and fit. My favorite Low Carb Down Under Channel doctor to listen to. Hi Doctor Judy! Just found your channel a couple months ago! I learned how a better microbiome allows for plants digestion in sensitive people, like Jordan Peterson & daughter & many others that seem so intolerant to plants. You never know when animal foods might become temporarily scarce, and plants can save lives in droughts, war, other emergencies. It's good to know how to eat places safely especially grains, Jesus said that wheat is a good thing. Please teach about proper quality, farming, preparation of grains. I want to enjoy earthly daily bread in a healthy way. I'm actually growing wheat right now, must have sprouted in my garden from the straw I used as mulch last year.

[@Broeske3]

Thank you for the video Dr. It would be great if you can a put a link to the mentioned studies.
