Thank you Dr McDougall. I started following your low fat diet, eating starch, vegetables and beans, and I lost so much weight! I feel 20 years younger, happier, more awake and full of energy too. Thank you for the life saving information you provide to the public.

I went to his newsletter and read about how he got kicked out of a conference for pointing out that the low carb gurus were all fat and looked sick. SAVAGE. I love this guy

Yeah, except that what he says is untrue. You can go actually see videos of those "gurus" to demonstrate the falseness of his statement.

[@toni4729]

@@snappysnap955 Sugar is the poison of the worlds population. Until the slave trade we never even used that rotten stuff. We never saw potatoes, we never saw rice and corn was merely little more than grass as was wheat. Now we shove it down our necks like it's the only thing left for us to eat. The popular view is we should eat eleven servings of this junk every day and you wonder why the planet is so sick? This has only been happening since the second WW when sugar became so prominent in our diet. Now listen to your good ol' Doctor McDougall. Constantly blaming meat and fish for the problem. Have you seen his interview: " An Explosive Interview With Vegan Expert Dr. John McDougall." Very enlightening.

[@snappysnap955]

@@toni4729 the problem really is not in the Whole Foods form, it's in the refined and processed form that it's a problem. But what I notice is people are willing to lose their minds about anything and everything and divide on anything they can think of. We're seeing it played out in every conceivable way on the world stage. People also stuffed animals down their throat like gluttons. Animals that are raised and deplorable and inhumane conditions. People can't get enough of that factory-farmed flesh on the end of their Fork. Now I don't begrudge someone eating meat or fish. But you don't need to eat at 3 times a day 7 days a week. I'm not a liberal by the way, far from it. So this is not someone who's concerned about cow farts. But I am disgusted at the gluttonous consumerism of animals. Back in the day people ate what they raised in their Gardens and maybe they had a Sunday chicken. They weren't cramming animals down their throat morning noon and night.

[@toni4729]

@@snappysnap955 You know it's funny you should say that. I'm pretty much a carnivore only because I'm allergic to the natural defenses in vegetation. This is not as unusual as you may think however my point is because of this I find I only eat one meal a day. It isn't much. Perhaps Eggs and bacon or a couple of slices of salmon. This is not unusual for the likes of a carnivore. We're not pigs. No-one who eats meat ever eats meat three times a day. You'll find more likely that they eat stupid things like cornflakes for breakfast loaded with sugar. This is the wrong thing to do. Cookies too, and desert. All these sugary foods are really bad news.

[@SciSciToys]

Did you have a Hiatal Hernia? I am on PPI's also but havent been able to come off, being told that carbs are bad for GERD/Acid reflux, still not sure what to do.

[@SciSciToys]

No, Ive read Dr McDougalls work and read his website and read about some people who have had hiatal hernia and acid reflux and then healed, many have hiatal hernias and some dont need meds, Ive reduced my meds to half 10mg instead of 20mg but do have to be super careful what I eat, I find that doing this I can go maybe a month before I feel damage in my throat where I get tot the point that eating bread is difficult as it seems it gets stuck as it goes down, when Im on the meds fine, what I think happens is that on meds the esophagus heals but off meds I get slgiht relfux which burns the espophagus. The last week been having palpitations daily and this could also be due to acid suppression, after years of this then you dont absorb magnesium, B6, B12 and maybe potassium and these are what the kidneys use to make cortisone/adrenaline etc, if the adrenals are wacked and exhausted then the kidneys have a back up system called fight/flight hence palpitations. In the past Ive gotten palpitations right after a fish and salad and a few days ago had a steak on its own (mistake), fish and red meat are tough on the kidneys and so now Ive stopped meat/eggs/dairy/gluten and bought various sweet potatoes and greens, rice and will do some relaxation sessions, I did coffee enemas for 11yrs and stopped recently and had a bad habit of having to watchold comedy sitcoms on my laptops before going to bed and didnt go to sleep unless they were on, this Ive done for maybe 10yrs, last night was the first night I went to sleep without the laptop, I had the fluttering, turning left and right, went to bed at 10pm (usually go to bed 2am) probably didnt get to slep until 2am but I forced myself to sleep in a dark room and so all these habits for sure have hurt me and my adrenals for sure, I also stopped drinking caffeine, I think Ive been in a drug induced dream for the past decade.

I'm 17 and have absolutely HATED milk (especially white milk) my whole life. My mother always told me "You'll end up with rickets! You'll have weak bones! You won't grow right!" Fast forward a few years in which I have consumed little milk (and even then it was always lactose free), I'm not calcium deficient. I could never understand why kids hated milk and adults would be able to stomach it until coming across you, Dr. McDougall.

The mainstream medical industry is not a conspiracy. This guy is right about some aspects of healthy eating: all doctors and scientists would agree plant based diet is healthy. But to say radiation, chemotherapy, surgery are useless treatments or that cancer is entirely preventable is SiCK. I can’t believe the state of Hawaii doesn’t revoke his medical license.

[@M1ggins]

Any doctor who makes statements like 'humans are natural herbivores' should have their license revoked. This guy is just a shill for his books and DVD's.

I liked the part about Dr. Heimlich. I, however, respectfully disagree with this type of diet as it didn't work for me. I just became sicker, more overweight, and needed more meds.😢. After six decades of the sad American diet I felt like death warmed over. August of 2021 I gave it to God and started Keto and never looked back consuming grass fed beef and butter, wild caught fish, and organic cruciferous vegetables. Today, I'm off all meds including statins,proton pump inhibitors pain releivers and others 😅. My vitals are great, blood work looking better now than my whole adult life, and I'm at my optimum weight. Many people that know me don't recognize me ,but when the do they say I look amazing 😊. I used to avoid mirrors now I like the way I look!!! Now by all means, ANIMALS AND OUR ENVIRONMENT SHOULD BE TREATED WITH RESPECT!!!

When you long term water fast, blood glucose drops down and then stabilizes. Ketones go way up and then stabilizes. And then body fat starts getting consumed at 1/lb per day. This was my experience as well as most people.

[@thewavycave2334]

McDougall is amazing!!

[@musicrepairs]

I felt this would be supported by the food industry’s. I have cut my carbs and my health has improved. Maybe it is just a calorie reduction. One common line is oils and fats. The oils and fats I have now are natural fats. I know I don’t get bloated anymore, my skin feels the best it’s ever been. And I have lost 13kg in 4 months. I suppose time will tell, while I have open ears, the correlation between modern foods and cancer is scary. My brother in-law died of cancer and he was very much a modern diet person with lots of sugar and modern food. Maybe my mum and dad have had it always right, eat in moderation, eat natural foods, Keep away from fast foods. My dad is 83 and sharp as a tack and my mum is well as well.

How come so many people in this comment section can so badly misinterprete the information presented? It's sad.

[@MichaelBiebersWorld]

Maybe I'm mistaken, but don't we "know" that sugar feeds cancer because... well... cancer cells only feed off of glucose? And that's why, in order to find cancer and tumors, patients drink a radioactive sugar? Right? I was of the understanding that cancer cannot feed on ketones, which is why the zero-carb, high-fat, super-low-protein, is called "the cancer protocol". Right? And doesn't fasting for days at a time, in full blown ketosis, actually break down tumors through the process of Autophagy? Right???

[@linzertube]

[@jsot2348]

Thanks for the very informative presentation. Both my grandparents on my mom's side died of cancer young. My mom has been reading up on health ever since and while I was growing up would tell me all the time about what she read. One mentioned the link of sugar to cancer. Now I get the complete picture, thank you.

[@Paul--Nobody_Is_Out_To_Get_You]

Why does the graph of increase in sugar and other refined carbs mirror the graph of heart disease and cancer? BTW I'm not against starchy veg or other complex carbs (I eat them but also do occasional mini fasts to cycle from a insulin/anabolic state to a glucagon/catabolic state). We've always eaten animals so the problem can't lie there. Unfortunately in 1982, the year of Dr McDougall's quoted NRC study, researchers didn't have to disclose industry payments and it is now known that the sugar (and vegetable oils) industries poured massive amounts of money into research to get results they wanted.

[@13gladius28]

It's been known since at least 1923 that cancers feed off sugars. Why? Because ALL cells do!! But the key issue is really ketosis vs glycolisis. Normal cells are able to thrive on ketones but cancer cells are not able. Therefore when sources of glucose are removed most, if not all cancers go into remission

[@TheSpectrumCoach]

Why is radioactive sugar what is used in a PET scan to detect cancer? The radiologist told me that the sugar goes right to the cancer and finds it.

Buy brown instead of white rice? The brown is better than the white but that's mostly bcz of the extra fiber content but if you have white rice with high fiber veggies you really don't need the brown rice. Same thing with brown bread vs white but why even eat any rice or bread. The body basically needs fats/oils n proteins for the macros and about 300grams non-starchy veggies daily for the micros and your diabetic conditions will gradually improve. But you wanna drink fruit juice. Why? You're not a kid anymore after your body stops growing it can't take the sugar/carbs so just get over it !!!

[@catchmeonthewtr3603]

I am not going to say if Dr. McDougall is right or wrong. But, I will tell you that for most of my life I was not a big sweet eater, I prefer protein. Given the choice I will eat eggs over waffles or pancakes. I have maintained a weight between 120 to 130 lbs. through out my life. Until, menopause hit and I started craving sweets, chocolate, deserts, breads, potatoes, rice. I am now at the heaviest 150 lbs. I have ever been in my life! Maybe rice, potatoes, bread and sugar in limited quantities are ok, but even at that when I do indulge I am the kind of person that can eat one cookie or a few bites of a desert and leave it at that. So if I've put on all this weight being moderate with my carb intake, it's no wonder so many that do not have that kind of control are obese, diabetic, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and on and on. My mother in law is obese, type II diabetic, she eats cookies, pie, ice cream, candy bars, potato chips, potatoes, bread, etc. She relies on insulin to maintain life, magic...eat what I want and take a medication for it. Viola, I've controlled my problem. (BS). I don't believe telling people sugar is just a "scape cookie" is the way to go. All things in moderation, even animal product. Common sense people.

RE: Mitochondria health:>> Acetyl-L-carnitine, ubiquinol form of CoQ10 (also heart health), alpha-lipoic acid (also treats diabetic neuropathy, and B vitamins (especially B-2 in yellow veggies, legumes, Quinoa) are recommended for someone to maintain mitochondrial health or suffering with mitochondrial damage. Diets high in saturated fats and especially trans-fatty acids are to be avoided in order to prevent damage to or improve the function of mitochondria. Rather, essential fatty acids such as flaxseed oil and fish oils help ensure healthy membranes surrounding mitochondria.

[@MrJoeOB]

Dr Mcdougall seems very breathless for his age, and is looking quite haggard for a 70yo. I think he is one of the worlds great doctors, hope I am wrong, but he does not seem in great health. If this is so, would it be a reflection on his dietary regime. Again hope I am wrong. The evidence seems to suggest that societies that follow this sort of diet, have robust health span into their 90's and beyond. Concerned for him. Joe in the uk.

[@mr.giraffe7076]

He said in the beginning he had a really bad diet most of his life. Whiskey, hot dogs, and smoking. Also being a surgeon is probably the most demanding career you could possibly have if you do it full time. Even most family doctors I know are not full timers.

He also had a stroke when he was like 20 years old.

[@sophiejdalston]

He had a stroke when he was very young due to very a bad junk food diet, used to chain smoke and drink, all things which cause some irreversible damage. He is in way better shape than someone who had continued with the SAD and bad lifestyle would be at 70, if they were even still with us.

I agree with McDougal on 2 things. 1 vegetable oil is not good for humans 2 the human body is amazing and can survive in all kinds of diets. That being said I am losing fat daily on a keto diet.

I watch vids like this along with vids from meat and fat based diets so that I can get a full and unbiased picture. As far as cancer goes, I've known vegans that got cancer, I've known meat/fat based dieters that got cancer, I've known people that workout and stayed active get cancer and sedentary people that got cancer. Cancer doesn't discriminate. As for a good diet, I eat what I want and in moderation along with living an active lifestyle. Hopefully, I won't get cancer!

Cancer cells feed on glucose..... Uncontrollable glucose levels.... Higher insulin.... High rates of cancer

[@tomgoff7887]

What causes blood glucose to rise? There's certainly evidence that high dietary fat consumption damages the glucose and insulin metabolic systems www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10856515 The idea that siugar feeds cancer cell growth is known to be a myth .... but low carbers don't have any time for inconvenient facts. According to the US National Cancer Institute, the claim that people with cancer shouldn't eat sugar because it fuels cancer growth is a myth The Mayo Clinic also says the same thing www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/cancer/in-depth/cancer-causes/art-20044714?pg=2 Ditto the Canadian Cancer Association www.cancer.ca/en/prevention-and-screening/be-aware/cancer-myths-and-controversies/sugar-and-cancer/?region=on

[@tomgoff7887]

DG I think that you have it the wrong way round. It does not matter what some chiropractor claims. What is important is what the science shows. And just calling some fats "healthy fats" does not mean that they are healthy fats or that eating concentrated fats of any kind is healthy. Where is the evidence? Bullshit is cheap and many conartists make a living out of it. Just hoping, wishing or asserting that a particular type of fat is healthy isn't enough. We should ask these people to show us the evidence - not some spiel about how they just "must" be healthy. McDougal quotes evidence and his interpretation of the facts seems to be shared by the most credible health authorities. If you think some obscure chiropractor knows more about cancer than the US National Cancer Institute, the Mayo Clinic, the Canadian Cancer Association and professional academic cancer researchers, then you should really have some very strong evidence to back that view.

[@tomgoff7887]

DG I am pretty sure that the US National Cancer Institute does not treat cancer patients let alone make money from doing so. In any case, even if your criticisms were true, that would not mean that people like Scmidt are automatically correct. As I have written before, where is the evidence? Without good evidence, such claims are either wishful thinking or plain bullshit.

totally opposite of the keto diet.

[@soilmanted]

I disagree with Dr McDougall's assertion that white table sugar "tastes good." Not by itself. Mixed with various fruits, herbs, and spices tasty treats can be produced - apple pie with cinnamon, ginger, etc. Lemon merengue pie. Various kinds of cookies and cakes. Soft drinks - ginger ale, cola drinks, fruit drinks containing fruit, water, and sugar. But white table sugar alone - I can't imagine sitting down to a bowl of sugar and eating the whole bowl of sugar. I might taste a single teaspoon full and say, well, it doesn't make me nauseous, but I wouldn't be interested in eating any more than that.

The illustration of Friedman study 33:02 was misleading. That was one example, while some were no effect at all. It is unethical to generalize the finding/distort the fact.

[@redxix88]

People should avoid fat AND fructose! My allergy (Cholinergic Urticaria) and acne have significantly improved after I stopped eating fructose. I think human beings are not supposed to eat large amounts of fruit per day (and should really avoid table sugar!). Glucose from grains and legumes is precious to the body, but fructose is not. It may not feed cancer, but it certainly feeds other diseases.

[@nickmurray9193]

Fructose when accompanied with fiber (like in fruit) is not an issue. Dr. Michael Greger has a video on the topic, fruit sugar is VERY different to the concentrated corn syrup we eat in sweets.

[@redxix88]

To me it was a big issue. Maybe I'm just more sensitive to it, but limiting fructose helped my allergy considerably more that limiting fat. I was already a low fat vegan when I made this change and I will never go back.

[@nickmurray9193]

There are certainly people who are more sensitive to fructose. Not very many, but it definitely happens. Personally I'm the other way around. Whenever I eat more fruit during the summer time, my allergies (specifically my itchy eyes) aren't as bad

[@redxix88]

Before I made this change I only ate fructose sources with fiber (apples, pears, bananas, etc) and I struggled with gas and bloating. My urticaria actually got worse when I went vegan because I significantly increased fruit consumption. The doctors told me there was nothing I could do except take antihistamines... Fruit is a lot sweeter now than it used to be, it rots your teeth and there are no nutrients that you can't get from other sources. We are eating WAY too much fruit nowadays (fruit juice is even worse because it has no fiber!). You are overloading your liver with all the fructose.

18:55 That's patently untrue. Very-low-carb diets, e.g. keto, at ~80% of calories from fat, are routinely used to lose weight.

[@kreassiva9138]

On water...

[@woozyloozy]

You lose weight, because the body is in starvation mode and uses up the fat (stored or not stored), as he said... but sadly, you cannot be in starvation mode for eternity and it is very hard to avoid all carbs, which is necessary to maintain ketosis. Once you eat differently again the body starts to use sugars again and immediately stores all extra fat, which leads to the yo-yo-effect.

[@jamesbrown99991]

@@woozyloozy He stated that "the fat you eat is the fat you wear", and you've stated that eating sugars causes fat storage.

[@woozyloozy]

@@jamesbrown99991 Nope... I meant, that all fat from any standard meal (e.g. 10% protein, 60% carbs, 30% fat) will then directly be stored and the carbs taken for energy.

[@jamesbrown99991]

​@@woozyloozyThat's probably why there are so many ppl overweight and diabetic on the Standard diet (SAD). You still store fat if you don't eat fat. Too much fructose and your liver becomes foie gras. Also alcohol is a great way for similar

"Other factors in the blood, such as infections or inflammation, will increase blood viscosity. So does a diet containing inflammatory fats such as trans-fats or hydrogenated oils, cholesterol, refined high-glycemic carbohydrates, coffee, alcohol and high amounts of animal protein. ... Athletes have the lowest blood viscosity and the highest flow of blood through the arteries, while at the other end of the spectrum those with chronic illness such as cancer, renal or heart disease have the highest blood viscosity and lowest blood flow. This low blood flow means less oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissue, more tissue breakdown, more inflammation, and so on." Keto is high cholesterol and high animal protein and high fats and oils. Unless you are plant-based keto, but even then it would be high fat. The only carbs that cause sludge blood are refined high-glycemic carbohydrates, which are not part of a whole foods plant-based diet.

I wish that Dr McDougall could teach ALL THE ONCOLOGIST what HE knows about Nutrition and Cancer!! And show them all the scientific evidence based results! When I asked My current Oncologist if eating a healthy Whole Food Plant Based diet could help me while undergoing Chemo, her reply was "That is like You are trying to change the WEATHER"!! How upsetting a statement is that! Not only dashing my hopes, trying to be proactive and have positivity while battling Cancer.... but directives totally Opposite the data and research facts that Drs McDougall, McGregor, Campbell and so many others present!! And when I asked if I should take a probiotic to keep my gut flora healthy and boost my Immunity while on Chemo she replied "that's just housekeeping'!!! When I asked if I should avoid sugar while battling cancer, she replied "not eating cookies is just NOT SUSTAINABLE!! Very discouraging that the young Docs of Oncology practicing today won't attribute ANY possible value of Nutrition and Good Health....even to just help a person be in better physical condition to battle cancer or contribute to being stronger to withstand the RAVAGES of Chemo and Radiation!!! Nutrition and Integrative Medicine courses should be MANDATORY in MEDICAL SCHOOL or at the VERY LEAST be required Seminars in the Major Cancer Institutes where these Oncologists practice!!
