Dr. Peter Ballerstedt - 'When is 'Protein' NOT Protein?'

Peter Ballerstedt (aka The Sodfather) received his Bachelor of Science in Agriculture in 1981 and Master of Science in 1983, both from the University of Georgia. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Kentucky in 1986, specialising in forage management and utilisation, minoring in ruminant nutrition. He was the forage extension specialist at Oregon State University from 1986 to 1992.
He currently works for Barenbrug USA, a grass seed company. His study of human nutrition is fueled by his personal experience. He is an advocate for ruminant animal agriculture and its products, speaking to audiences in several countries about the role of ruminants in humanity’s past, present and future. He strives to build bridges between his agricultural tribe and his low-carb/keto/carnivore tribes. Peter blogs and posts to facebook at “Grass Based Health” and on Twitter and Instagram at @GrassBased. Peter and Nancy live in western Oregon with their two dogs Conor and Noni.

WAOW!!!…this conversation has been long overdue in my personal life. I’ve been lost in a sea nutritional confusion over the years😖. Born in a third world country, I’m that first baby that suffered with kwashiorkor when the second baby was born😣. I remember those days when my gut was bloated so badly I cried loudly and irritatingly every single day. When food became available, it was some form of carbohydrate dense food or cow’s milk, and I had a gut intolerance to all of it; esp the cows milk (likely processed). My choices as a toddler was starvation, or pain for many hours and days after eating those foods. Listening to this talk gives me tremendous clarity as to why my body never developed well when I entered puberty; along with several other dysfunctions and ills I’ve carried all my life. The carnivore lifestyle has been the nearest life-saver for me for sure; and this talk has given me so much more insight…the fact that I have been chronically protein deficient nearly all my life. I’m 53 and a little late in the game, but feel much more confident that I may actually have some kind of control as to how things go for me for the remainder of my maturing years🙏🏽🙂

Is there a danger from too much animal based protein? Has anyone ever tried to overeat on a large quantity of meat? It's extremely difficult. Once you're stuffed, you're stuffed, and chances are you won't be hungry for a very long time afterwards.

[@yay-cat]

Yeah you always hear arguments from the veg community saying they don’t like eating meat because it makes them feel so heavy or whatever. Yeah sunshine that’s your appetite saying cool thanks we’re full… But on the other hand there’s a book called “eat like the animals” where they figured that all animals from locusts to 🐀 to baboons always stuck to a specific range of protein and never exceeded that in spite of maybe exceeding total calories (depending on protein density of food). But they reckon that it might be dangerous to exceed that amount of protein because it maybe makes you age faster or something. But the point is that your natural pre programmed appetite stops you from eating more. So like unless you’re in a hot dog eating contest or are chugging protein shakes or something; you’re kinda not capable of overeating 🍳 🥩 🐟 🥛

[@rudos4577]

I'm carnivore for almost 2 years and eat about 1.5kg meat/day. Haven't had a real problem, only thrived in every metric I can think of. You just get full and find the meat bland when you hit satiety.

6:40 just to touch on this. Protein is the ONLY macro nutrient, to result in a comorbidity when consumed in too low a quantity. The effects of consuming too little carbs or fats are easier to reverse and do not contribute to worsening outcomes of other diseases. Yet recommended diets prioritize high amounts of carbs and fats that, as an inverse of protein, are more dangerous when consumed in high quantities.

[@karlwheatley1244]

The diets that have achieved the best overall long-term health outcomes are diets in which the majority to vast majority of calories come from whole food carbs, and they get fewer calories than Americans do from fat and animal foods. Disease rates ramp up with higher animal fat and protein consumption.

A good talk, but it leaves out a key point. DIAAS gives a score per food, not per meal or per diet. That's important because by including different protein sources that are deficient in different amino acids, they can complement each other. That's why vegans diets can be perfectly healthy as long as they're varied. But I do still agree with the point made about poorer countries. A good vegan diet requires the ability to select freely from a variety of affordable protein sources, and the education to combine them correctly. If a country lacks that, then it's much easier to just supplement their meals with an egg.

What about those who say protein activates mtor thus increases risk of cancer a lot?

[@johnhogue9402]

Insulin also activates MTOR. Because of this, eating a high carb diet is likely more aging than eating a high protein diet.

[@johnhogue9402]

Also, if you understand associations, you realize that the association between meat eating and cancer is so small and inconsistent as to be utterly meaningless. People keep looking for possible mechanism about how meat can cause cancer when there isn’t even a meaningful association. It’s wishful thinking on the part of the vegan zealots posing as scientists.

No evidence that mtor increases risk of cancer

I don't think we should worry about enteric methane at all. Methane oxidizes away within few decades after it's released. If the methane released today is really such a problem, we can just do stratospheric aerosol injection for a few decades to completely offset the warming. The reason stratospheric aerosol injection isn't good enough for CO2 is that fossil fuel CO2 persists as a distortion of the carbon cycle for geological timescales. It isn't right to burden untold future generations with an unending obligation to maintain our SAI. If we decide to offset enteric methane release with SAI, the only generation we're burdening is our own.

So rude to interrupt the last guy questioning with time left and only one outstanding question presented. That’s what happens when sticking to an agenda become more important than meeting content.

[@buckbuckleyson2259]

"time for a break lmao"

[@wolfrahmphosphoros5808]

this also struck Me, I felt sorry for the Guy, I could literally feel his upset for Him. but it might not have been a fault of the Person, Who interrupted Him, because He might have had instruction to do so. regards.

I was thinking the same thing. Btw, I knew someone with your exact name in AZ.

[@CelineNoyce]

My question is what about doctors that say too much proten - especially in mid age - is a risk for cancer. Wouldn't "high quality" protein be the same. And as those doctors point out, you don't need the same level of protein all your life... and, in mid age.. you need less. Elderly you need more.

[@johnhogue9402]

Doctors who say that meat is a risk factor for cancer are basing that assertion off of totally unreliable research. There’s no good evidence that eating large quantities of protein is deleterious to the health in any way for the average person. Doctors who say that “too much protein” is a risk for cancer don’t know what they’re talking about.

[@Shakerhood69]

Cancer needs sugar to grow, guessing protein wouldnt be a problem.

[@buckbuckleyson2259]

Based on what evidence

[@shawnmclean7707]

Heirachy of evidence and correlation vs causation. Thats the root of this problem. We need to find a way to educate people on what the heirachy of evidence is and how to rank their information within that heirachy. That way people can understand what science can and can't tell us or whats science and whats statistics.

[@Dan-gs3kg]

@@buckbuckleyson2259 you can look into `What I've Learned`'s videos on meat and protein. For red meat to be cancerous, you'd need to eat the equivalent or a few metric tonnes per day.

Where can I be apart of a clinical trial?

I want to know too.

I was surprised to hear him say we can get fiber from meat.

[@annaleonard5340]

I interpreted that statement as “”fiber is not necessary” presumably following a similar argument to the point about vitamin c. Not sure if that is correct or not.

[@dsonyay]

you need to go back and watch that part. He said if there is anything missing in meat- you dont need it. So yeah- no fiber in meat- you dont need fiber. I take in 0 fiber and have zero bowel / gut issues. The animal fat is what softens the stool.. Theres a controlled test on fiber that proves it.
