I think the thing to do is add stearic and myristic acid to lean beef during the cooking process, rather than buying fatty cuts. Most pork and dark meat chicken that you buy today is loaded with unhealthy PUFAs. It can be as bad as using soybean oil. The solution is to buy lean ruminant cuts or chicken breast and add in healthy fats.

I could wrong, but isn't stearic acid primarily found in beef ? Hence the name stear (greek for tallow). Personally (and I could be wrong), but I suspect beef is a better source. Chicken and pork, while containing some SA, also contain levels of linoleic acid that I would say are not insignificant (due to their monogastric digestion process and and being fed a diet high in corn and soy). But I'm curious, are you suggesting that the Palmitic acid levels are too high and outweigh the benefits of the Stearic Acid in beef?

The problem with Thomas' discussion about increasing cholesterol levels is the fact that the body is self regulating for cholesterol. If you don't eat foods containing cholesterol, your body will produce what you need. If you eat food that contains cholesterol, your body will produce less. So it is incorrect to say that eating red meat, for instance, increases your cholesterol levels. Your levels are what's needed for cellular repair, among other things. If your cholesterol levels are high (and there is disagreement about what constitutes 'high'), then you probably have metabolic syndrome.

[@reasonableastartes5975]

IIRC, this is true up to a point, but it is easily possible to consume more than 100% of the cholesterol your body needs even with your body actively reducing dietary absorption. I personally have seen my LDL cholesterol go *way* up on the Keto diet, even as I've seen my glucose, fatty liver, and weight all plummet.

[@shivmirani748]

@@reasonableastartes5975 did you check your LDL levels in the early stages of Keto or once you got settled in because I know Dr.Berg (not sure if Thomas did) that initially your cholesterol may go up when your body isn’t fat adapted in order to act as a triglyceride transporter if I’m not mistaken but once you’re a bit more fat adapted it should slowly come down. That’s why triglyceride levels decrease quickly on Keto while Cholesterol increases temporarily and then decreases slowly

[@stevebognar4357]

Thomas really can get into the weeds, but its interesting if you can "digest" it all.

[@godsofthesingularity8308]

Dividing fats into saturated and unsaturated is useful because saturated fats don't oxidize. Unsaturated fats oxidize and become poisonous so we should never fry with vegetable or fish oil. But it looks like another important way to divide them is by how inflammatory they are. Palmitic acid and omega 6 are inflammatory. And stearic acid and omega 3 are anti-inflammatory. So an optimal diet is CLEARLY one where most fat in the diet is saturated. Of the saturated fat you want palmitic acid to be a minority and balanced by stearic acid and oleic acid. Of the small amount of pufa we eat, we want a majority to be omega 3.

@@CarbageMan Well nah. statin is not a "big pharama" selling point. Its a very effective and necessary drug for regulating heart disease in many people. Rather than pointing at an authority figure, i recommend going to google scholar, pubmed etc and looking at the 100's of meta-analysis and epidemiology studies that prove a direct correlation between higher levels of LDL (greater than 100) indicating poor apob levels and thus increased risk of mortality. You can find maybe 10 or 20 studies saying the opposite but they are largely mechanistic and NOT human health outcome-focused. Consensus matters. That's just my perspective.

You are gullible, and you didn't even check out Dr David Diamond, who, in fact, references "scholarly" "pubmed etc." Meta-analysis of associational studies gives you BS.

The reason to avoid saturated fats is foremost to help one negotiate around eventual hearth disease accumulation (everyone gets some form or another eventually - the difference is whether it kills you or you die from something else before heart attack). The other benefits are probably nice to have-s, unconfirmed by science in humans. The effects on Apolipoprotein B 100 (ApoB-100) should be more highlighted. LDLc as far as up to date lipid research goes is kind of useless metric in most cases. Apo-B blood concentration is directly linked with coronary artery disease. (each LDL particle has one ApoB-100 attached to it. The significance in layman's terms is that the number of LDLc particles is what is causing the problem - not the amount of cholesterol in LDL particles. Measuring ApoB-100 is kind of equivalent to measuring the number of all LDL particles combined - without any indication of cholesterol in them). Unfortunately most research is done around LDLc. If something drives up LDLc then there is reasonable chance it drives up ApoB-100. Thanks Thomas for bringing this topic forward - your content over the years have matured and improved by a lot.

I had to add this....The problems with those studies, esp. made in the US...is that the majority is metabolically sick aka insulin resistant, 65% of adults 40 -60 yrs old are insulinresistant. And....the problems with saturated fats. esp palmitic acid occur only in excess energy intake aka hypercaloric diet, mostly from carbohydrates, what is the norm in the US....cause the so called de novo lipogenesis (DNL) = excess bloodglucose is transformed into....palmitic acid....if you add dietary palmitic acid than there is an even higher level. " Palmitic acid (PA) is ubiquitously present in dietary fat guaranteeing an average intake of about 20 g/d. The relative high requirement and relative content in the human body, which accounts for 20-30% of total fatty acids (FAs), is justified by its relevant nutritional role. " "....the dietary consumption of PA has low impact on plasma levels compared with its endogenous biosynthesis; data from a controlled human feeding trial showed that variations in SFA intake from 11 to 30%en did not change circulating SFA, including PA" "However, pathophysiological conditions (insulin resistance) are characterized by a sustained DNL in the liver and aimed at preventing the excess accumulation of glucose, which result in increased tissue content of PA and disrupted homeostatic control of its tissue concentration. This leads to an overaccumulation of tissue PA, which results in dyslipidemia" "When the energetic sources are in excess, the non-fat surplus, mainly carbohydrates, is converted to Fatty acids by DNL" > www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8983927/

Well, from what i've learned from other keto channels no, not really. As long as your cholesterol is under 300 i think it's just fine because only at about 350 is when your body has some sort of genetic issue and you over-produce cholesterol and then you can run into issues but i haven't heared of any case anywhere when a normal person without this genetic issue gets his cholesterol above 300 so it's probably nothing to worry about.

This is why the overwhelming majority of plants on the planet are inedible, and we basically only eat the stuff that is hardly "natural" in that it was cultivated by our advanced modern farming to be much different than the natural state we first discovered it in. Nature in fact does not provide as the hippie vegans say, WE provide for ourselves in an indifferent natural environment. It's a shocker to many, but plants have downsides such as having inferior protein and less bioavailable nutrients. If you were lost in the wild, you'd have a much easier time surviving by hunting animals for food rather than harvesting the crappy and scarce edible plants found in true nature. You don't have a cow's digestive system and you can't graze all day like pure herbivores. Modern human-invented veggies only mitigate the downsides of a plant-based diet, they don't eliminate them. Carnivore diet people can eat once a day and be content and comfortable with it, vegans have to make themselves eat like cows in comparison.

Unfortunately my body hates grass fed butter..

[@dontfit6380]

How’s that? So your good with corn fed butter?

[@ArcoZakus]

French Viking, " ... my body hates grass fed butter." Have you tried ghee instead of butter? (I plan to do that, but have not yet. Curious whether it makes any difference.)

There's a weird bias in this video You hype stearic acid as good, but fail to mention that red meat has the most of it in animal foods, instead mentioning chicken and fish, which are way lower in it, both in amount and percentage. You also only mention red meat as an example in being high in palmitic acid, even though it essentially has same percentage as pork and chicken. Pork and chicken (especially in the US) has also huge amounts of omega 6, with very little omega 3 to balance it. You also recommended in the lauric acid section to change red meat fat and dairy fat with mct oil. Why ditch those with higher stearic acid? Why not instead chicken or pork fat, as they have less stearic acid, and the same amount of palmitic acid? It's almost as if you have something against red meat, or that you didn't do your research properly.

[@TheWindAnRain]

Hold up. You posted another video that we should avoid fat from chicken and get it from beef and bison instead...

Hi LDL is not bad. Read the research🙄

[@gunner5916]

I’m looking forward to a competing channel taking this video info and summarizing it more effectively.

[@brandonyoung4910]

Thomas is a well known supporter of Big Chocolate lol

[@meidamx]

Get some.

[@samsaldate5828]

The thing that I took from this video is that bacon is good for me 😊

[@Cryptolorian]

There are some studies which have proven that eating too much bacon too frequently can turn you into a Pig, it alters your DNA. Cheers

[@littlevoice_11]

Where do exogenous ketones fit into this? Good? Bad?

[@LambertBrady]

I don't trust anyone who promotes products. You are not an independent source! Steer subscribers here and there. Heavily discount you assertions, sir!

[@simondentry6416]

Sorry but this video was way to complicated 😳

[@jab3323]

Thomas, why didn't you mention suet fat from ruminant animals?? Far better source of stearic acid than those weak plant foods you recommend. There is no way cocao butter is as nutritious as well raised animal fat. Grass fed fat. Love to see you bring paul saladino into a video of yours. I think we all know carnivore is the real human diet that literally fixes problems you wouldn't believe my man

[@Cryptolorian]

Carnivores have a lower life expectancy than, so there is that, my man.

[@Yourdeadmeat69]

Again red meat takes a shot -- in the gut.

[@truelight2097]

Thomas seems to be more California “Woke” lately in not promoting high quality grassfed red meats and dairy with saturated fats. He advocates more a Mediterranean low fat, low carb diet that focuses more on building muscle as a body builder. It seems to work for him, but a vast majority of people aren’t bodybuilders and just cutting out carbs and so called resistant starches and replacing them with grassfed meats, dairy, eggs, and non-starchy vegetables is the more universal solution to peoples weight and medical problems.

[@ioijiopjkiopjkp]

How tf is that "woke" lmao

[@UNr34]

If you're looking to feed your bias this isn't the right channel for you.

[@OldManTomJulio]

I bet you're always torn between using the word "woke" and "sheeple" in all your online comments.

[@THEMANWITHTHEYELLOWHAT.]

@@OldManTomJulio there most likely a troll trying to get replies best thing to do is ignore them

[@dontfit6380]

Looks like you triggered some people. 😂😂

[@slabrankle9588]

This is quite a bombshell. The anti red meat crowd was right all along, at least partially. Thomas agrees and suggests less red meat! Astounding!

[@joerandom157]

That's certainly distorting things. The red meat problems comes from the pufa since red meat is primarily saturated and monounsaturated and pufa content is unreliable to track. Giving up red meat is baseless, but switching to lean meat with added fat (preferably dairy) is a better way to go.

[@Cryptolorian]

Eat a portion of lean meat once a week and fish twice a week, problem solved. Trouble is, a lot of people eat animal flesh for Brefakfast, Lunch and Dinner, and that can never be healthy.

why even bother doing these 'tests' on mice? I don't see any ethical issues in trying on humans directly- so the results would be more meaningful.
