Confronting Dr. Gundry On Lectins & Smoking | Inflammation & Leaky Gut

​@@fareshajjar1208But there's a difference in complex sugars in natural foods and simple sugars in synthetic lab made sugar. EVERYTHING is bad if over consumed.

Honestly, despite Dr. Grundy's unwillingness to back down from some of his unsubstantiated stances, his ability to take criticism without becoming "overly" defensive or rude is admirable. This is exactly how to have a civilized argument about something. The hope is to learn from each other and hopefully move closer to the reality on the topic one way or the other and respect the others position to some degree. They were all able to agree on the most important aspects which is focusing on a plant-based diet without highly processed foods, but disagreed on the quality and usefulness of mechanisms and anecdotal evidence in providing recommendations to the public. I wish Dr. Grundy was more willing to acknowledge how his claims can be confusing and misleading to the public especially when he respects the science and the nuance of the claims he's making, but it was a good source of discussion for how scientific recommendations should be made and acknowledges how anecdotal evidence still has some meaning since it can lead to more evidence based trials and studies that can let us learn more which then can lead to additional recommendations.

Not really. He is a very well educated person in his field. I don’t know what he said that is outrageous at all. When he talked about smoking he clearly stated that it wasn’t the act of smoking but the nicotine that aided in longevity which I’m pretty sure nicotine is known to not be harmful and has its benefits. He talked about microbes in the gut and when he did they didn’t say he wasnt wrong they said they just can’t prove that yet… they brought up when they used to use beta blockers for patients having a bypass and how they would never do it now. We get things wrong sometimes in the pursuit of the truth. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t always search for the truth. And when there was a Dr saying you should never give beta blockers to someone after a bypass, they would say that Dr doesn’t know what they are talking about and is stupid. I’m not saying this guy knows everything. But doctors who question the norm have been the ones who have given us breakthroughs in medicine.

Having an open discussion, void of any open disdain or blatently hostile argument is refreshing and honestly much more entertaining.

I looked on the dairy list and it had butter, organic kefir, organic yogurt, organic cheese, plus goat cheese, etc... Dr. Gundry's published list of an anti-inflammatory diet is as inconsistent as his arguments in this debate. I'm so grateful for critical thinking and the experts on this panel poking holes in the irresponsible advice Dr. Gundry promotes.

The worst part is alot of what he said started off with facts then he always goes off into nonsense whenever hes questioned

[@onemanshow4116]

Unfortunately, Dr Gundry doesn’t need to be right. All he needs to do is get away with making people think he MIGHT be onto something. That’s it. Once he’s done that, he can sell you all the supplements that appear directly after EVERY SINGLE pitch he gives. Money. That’s what Dr. Gundry is all about.

Dr. Mike, your patience with this man has no bounds. 12:07 Your ability to get this man to actually answer your questions after him faffing around trying not to answer the question is impressive. The switch between the blue zone evidence he was trying to use as his supportive evidence and then his statement that he doesn’t believe they are reliable was so frustrating. Any… ANY… person who has had even basic science courses knows what a good study is comprised of and what components it needs to have to be considered reliable. What variables are you testing and what is the control, better to have a large number of test subjects, and a long study time.

[@zerowilde]

You'd be suprised. Al of companies lean to corporate greed and direct 'research papers' in a biased way. We see this more and more now and it was exposed during Covid when random compamies through random anti-biotics as anti-viral treatments when they were not even replicated or controlled.

[@hladinibhosale]

I agree. And tbh, I could literally feel myself get significantly more and more annoyed by every statement Dr Gundry made. I felt at a certain point towards the end, even he was realising that his statements could get him intro trouble so he started leaning toward what Dr. Mike was saying and agreeing with him. I dont mean to come off as rude or anything, Dr Gundry is a senior doctor, and he has experience and all that but i dont agree with majority of his claims and i dont like how, for the longest time, he was justifying his statement with some sort of weird logic. This is just my opinion though. I dont mean to offend anyone here

[@angelmendez-rivera351]

​@hladinibhosale honestly, the best part of this discussion was Dr. Mike and Dr. Belardo discussing the issue and explaining why it's bunk.

[@billbill6094]

When he was misrepresenting the results of the Lyon Heart Study, making silly noises over Dr. Belardo explaining what he's not properly presenting from that study, dodged the question 4-5 times in a row about why should an untrained person believe his anecdotal medical claims over another quack's anecdotal medical claims (as opposed to long-tested science) as if Dr. Mike was speaking gibberish, then started contradicting himself on the idea that measuring levels is more important than symptoms, I really felt Dr. Mike's boxing instincts kick in. How do you deal with this amount of gish gallop and talking in circles?

he lady keeps citing the recommendations of the professional association experts. Aren't these the same experts who had us wearing masks and locking down our kids and taking experimental jabs? The younger doctor thinks his patients are idiots who can't be told the truth.

[@AshinnBiddle]

Ah yes, we treated the crazy person in the room with wildly unscientific methods, not a single published peer reviewed study, and no legitimate facts as a serious person. And that is totally fine, and not at all a sign that we've kind of lost the plot. This wasn't a debate, this was two well informed medical doctors dealing with someone who has become an utter wackjob lying about what he has said in the past and making minor corrections like " well I didn't say milky way I said hershey's bar~ " as if it was a serious correction. We really don't need to be acting like anything this guy has to say is serious or should be taken seriously.

[@lekhakaananta5864]

Respectful debate should scale with the other side's good-faith. If the other side is just trying to maliciously spread misleading misinformation for their own purposes, what's the point of giving them a civil debate? Praising the civil debate here shows that you don't actually recognize the enormous gap in reasonableness between the two sides here. How much of a respectful debate would you waste time with if someone claimed the earth is flat?

I didn't hear him promote smoking, he seemed to be saying the opposite, that we obviously shouldn't be smoking.
