Well, there are still enough doctors who don't believe the science, and we're no longer in the 60's for one ego-driven maniac to fake a study and force it on the government, so I don't see it implemented in education plans anytime soon. BUT thanks to the internet we're actually able to educate ourselves on the topic without having to rely on the government, so there's that. I come from a country where the population's wellbeing was measured by beef consumption 30 years ago, maybe in another 30 we'll be back at it.

For the first time in 5 years, my heart rate has gone below 95. My last Heart rate check after mild exertion was 79 BPM. Before Carno/lacto after simply getting up to get a glass of water my BPM would jump to 100+ Ever while sitting and relaxing it never went below 90. I am now a carno/lacto adherent. I have not weighed myself in a few months. I am not yet worried about my weight. But the decrease in heart rate and blood pressure alone has concreted this WOE in my mind.

Your story is similar your mine. I have only been keto since July 20, 2022. I am late learning all this since I am 75 years. 17 years ago I was put on BP meds. After one month of no processed foods, sugar, seed oils and (20/4 fasting) -blood pressure went way down. Afraid it would drop too low I tossed my meds -and BP including pulse is absolutely normal!!! After all those years!!! Tossed my statin too because statins block coQ10 so the blocking also causes “ insulin resistance”. These meds destroy our organs. “They will kill you with the cure”. I am now more afraid of the medical community than I ever used to be. I love keto!!! Yes, not always easy for us sugar addicted but sure beats poking myself with needles and having limbs chopped off!👍👍👍

[@BabyandLittleGuy]

This is an AMAZING lecture! I wish I had known this about insulin years ago. Dr. Mason really covers the major parts of the body affected by insulin resistance. He also discusses HOW they are affected by insulin, and WHY people get each of the components that make up metabolic symdrome. I never realized the role TRIGLYCERIDES play in the damage done by insulin. Triglycerides definitely play a large part in pushing metabolic symdrome along!

LcHhf is NOT Atkins. Atkins takes zero account of high omega 6 unsaturated fats. Dirty keto is more akin to Atkins where you can eat whatever garbage fried foods and processed meats you wish. A low car high healthy fat ketogenic lifestyle involves not only eating very low carbs and high fats, but also a focus on whole foods with high fats such as pasture raised eggs, avocados, wild caught salmon, pasture raised and finished beef, lamb, pork and so on. The so-called healthy unsaturated fats are extremely high in omega 6’s, which is extremely unhealthy and pro inflammatory.

[@SatumainenOlento]

I highly agree that we are generally eating too many carbs and our guidelines are very faulty. They kill people who follow them. People with autoimmune issues, they actually *must* reduce whole food groups and people with allergies needs to avoid lots of specific foods. It truly comes down to everybody's unique body-make-up how much the carbohydrates and sugar are going to damage you. But I also like to note that the diet should never be based on conformity. Everybody is VERY unique and our dietary needs differ vastly. No one diet fits for all. So listening one's own body is most important and that is what everybody keeps forgetting. I believe myself to be highly effected by the carbohydrates and have intuitively been eating less carbs over the years. Now I am doing Paleo and it feels like coming home!

Good health is NOT the absence of bad health. Numbers are indicators only. Real bad health is indicated by symptoms. The big abdomen, lack of energy, low libido or inability to perform, angina, infections and muscle spasms are REAL signs of bad health, and good health is high energy, great skin and hair, good sleeping habits, memory and mood. Otherwise, he's great.

[@marlenegold280]

These are often signs of insulin resistance also. When one is insulin resistant, one can have trouble absorbing vitamins and minerals, micronutrients from food, or if diet is poor, high carbs, with processed seed oils, that also could cause deficiency and malabsorption of nutrients. The person could also have autoimmune disease, like Hypothyroidism, which causes deficiencies.

[@StephenTack]

One question on the correlation between urinary sodium excretion, salt intake, and all-cause mortality. Might the cause of both reduced sodium excretion and increased mortality on the left hand side of the chart be high levels of insulin? Perhaps these people were consuming more sodium than they were excreting? And dieing more, due to metabolic disease?

And yet diets with no more than 20 grams a day, as Dr. Bernstein and Dr. Eric Westman of Duke University recommend will allow virtually everyone to burn fat for fuel, instead of sugar. This allows the body to burn excess fat. This is also known as 'nutritional ketosis', or a ketogenic diet. Fat is also critical for building other body structures - including the walls of every cell in the body, hormones, and many other iportant functions.

The Salt/Sodium chart at 8:22 reads, "

[@andreafalconiero9089]

The study refers to sodium, not salt. The slide title is in error. Therefore, to obtain the amount of salt needed to achieve a daily target of 4-5 g of sodium would require 10-12 g/day of sodium chloride salt (NaCl), which is about 2 teaspoons (assuming no other sources of sodium in the diet).

[@Jefferdaughter]

Sodium. Dr. Stephen Phinney, MD PhD also covers this in some of his presentations. So yes, this means that we should be consuming 8-`12+ grams of salt a day. More, if we are on a very low carb or ketogenic diet. Salt quality is not addressed. Processed table salt sold in the USA has had all the trace minerals removed. It is superheated to ~1,200F, which changes the structure. And it has added chemicals, so that 'when it rains, it pours'. Most seasalt is now polluted. Pre-pollution mined seasalts like Himalayan pink and Redmond natural salt from Utah contain a wide array of trace and micro-trace minerals that are beneficial for health. These 'real' salts are not processed. The FLAVOR is so much better - and natural salt does not burn like processed table salt does.

Less than 4g of sodium is about 10g of salt NaCl. The doctor is repeatedly saying salt while referring to the sodium graph.

[@TheFrankHummer]

Yes I noticed that. I think it's the info in the graphs that is correct.

[@MikeEnRegalia]

the graph is correct, the slide isn’t.

Merely balance sodium and potassium.

Yes. Most people get most of their sodium from salt, but NaCl is what, 40% sodium? So we need to consume at least 80-12 grams of salt a day. More if we are on a very low carb diet. Natural, unprocessed salt with no added chemicals is the logical choice. Regular table salt has had the trace nutrients removed, and has added chemicals. Most sea salt is now polluted. Himalayan pink and Redmond salt from Utah are two sources of ancient pre-pollution sea salt.

How does "xylitol" and "erythritol" relate to metabolic syndrome and diabetes?

[@spaceghost8995]

Both can raise blood sugar. Both can keep you craving real sweets which is never a good thing.

[@judymiller5154]

@@spaceghost8995 but since I eat zero sugar and zero grains and very low carbs overall, having a keto muffin made with erythritol is acceptable and a nice treat.

Monk fruit does not raise insulin or calories 0 sugar ..

[@hermangarrett3486]

Your brain only knows the sensation of "sweetness" and interprets it as induced by sugar. So, artificial sweeteners score the same as sugar for bodily reactions.

I actually released a lecture about six months ago that goes into a couple of these mechanisms in more detail: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKuum5KKrbeoirM
