[@jritson58]

Let me first say thank you for all your hard work at getting top information out there. I'm a clinical nutritionalist, and for years now have taught my patients the keto lifestyle. I just wanted to share some info concerning cashews and sunflower seeds. Cashews are from the cashew apple fruit, usually the nuts are discarded as the inside of the shell contains a caustic material. 99% of all cashews are roasted at very high temperatures to remove the shell and the caustic material. This means all cashews are roasted unless hand cracked. Back in 2006 I used to buy handcracked cashews to make raw deserts for my restaurant. They are insanely expensive! They do seem to cause a less allergenic responses in my experience. Sunflower seeds are very high in lectins and I have found best to be avoided in people with underlying gut issues. More often than not I have had the best response from using high quality heirloom nuts and seeds and sprouting them for optimal digestion. I buy wild jungle peanuts as they are high in monounsaturated fats ( good for those of us with a addiction to peanut butter) In essence, I believe the best results happen when most nuts and seeds are excluded. Unless sprouted and from a trusted source and consumed moderately, they usually cause digestive upset and trigger inflammatory responses. Many blessings E. Black

[@zxctgb]

I agree regarding sunflower. I'm a coeliac that experiences gut inflammation 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours after consuming sunflower, even if it's a small amount of sunflower oil in dried fruit or sunflower lecithins in chocolate. I stopped most seeds (cumin and cardamom are okay, along with small fruit seeds IE in ripe berries), and everything with more omega 6 than olive oil, and feel much better

Short answer, no I do not worry about those. Fasting and autophagy, plus a low glucose/fructose diet should theoretically be enough to counter act any carcinogenic issues with the nitrites and nitrates, assuming that the science underpinning those aren't contaminated by a "Healthy user" bias where people who care about their health don't eat bacon and people who don't care about their health get their bacon from McDonalds on a CarcinoMac covered in what pretends to be cheese. Long answer feel free to skip. @@-._.-KRiS-._.- From what Ken Berry says and when I had free time and looked it up it seemed to pan out... Like there's Nitrites or Nitrates in your saliva. Not to mention that our body can do conversion from one to the other. I want to study Nutrition but I gotta get other things situated first, so while I don't have a definitive answer I don't worry about it. Are you gonna stop eating vegetables because of the nitrites and nitrates in them? www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5412236/ Now there's issue about toxicity which I'm not concerned about because of the reduction in carbs means I'm not holding as much water for it to absorb into. Since I'm burning fat I'm not worried about it being stored in fat. I don't know if it's water soluble or fat soluble, I assume water soluble since it's in our saliva. I'm also not concerned about the Carcinogenic issues because on a Keto diet with intermittent fasting every now and then and 24-72 hour fasts every now and then and an occasional dry fast for 24-30 hours (usually it's when I fast and forget to drink water or other liquids I just say I'm dry fasting XD) I just gotta hope that the autophagy is fighting any tumors, and not building up any tumors. The reason I don't eat bacon often isn't the nitrites or the nitrates, it's because my wife doesn't do Keto, but she loves bacon, and when I try and cook 15 strips of bacon for her for a couple of days, I'll maybe eat 3, and she'll eat 12 and then ask if there's anymore.

Hemp seeds, hemp oil, hemp seed butter. I think they are high in omega-3s...but the oil can't be cooked with. Better to use in salad dressings, or add to food directly.

[@thenew4559]

It's better just to use olive oil for seasoning or salad dressings. I'm pretty sure that hemp oil, similar to many other vegetable oils, goes rancid when exposed to light and causes an increase in inflammatory free-radicals in your body. Seeds and butter should be fine as long as they aren't roasted, though, just maybe not as good as nuts/seeds that are more Omega-6 heavy.

[@kendrikhawk7436]

I'm really starting to get frustrated by the inaccuracy of the info being handed out here. Everything listed as being a healthy component of ghee, is in butter, like the fat-soluble vitamins. The ONLY difference is that ghee has had the protein and sugar removed. Period. Then, using some Crisco product, and calling it "lard", is purely dishonest. Lard is pork-fat, tallow is beef-fat, and both are perfectly healthy (when sourced correctly) to use in the ketogenic lifestyle. No Crisco product should ever be used, nor compared to real food like lard... just like no Wesson product should be used, because even their olive oil is going to be highly-processed garbage.

[@bulletproofcherry8537]

I'd have to agree about the lard vs. crisco part. I was so happy when he mentioned lard, and was ready to hear his comparison to coconut oil (since I use both of those), but then he pulls out this weird fake oil product called crisco (not a thing in my country), and I feel like that product has no place to be in a comparison with lard :/ Either way, he does end up concluding that actual lard is better than crisco (yeah, no shit), with then coconut oil being better yet. About ghee though - you do get a significantly higher amount of buturic acid in ghee, and the higher smoke point makes it SO much easier to cook with than butter.

[@dingfeldersmurfalot4560]

@@bulletproofcherry8537 Re ghee, this sounds like a simple by-product of it being more concentrated?

[@nathans2811]

The whole point of Ghee is that is HAS had that last little bit of milk solids removed and is strictly the pure fat. Period. I don't see how he could be any more clearer in the video. You can melt butter at home, and then just spoon off that top white salty layer, and voila, you have Ghee!

[@The901meister]

I sometimes wonder about the coconut oil hype. I purchased a large container of organic coconut oil from Costco and my wife(who is Asian) asked what I was going to use it for. She uses it for her hair and refuses to use it for cooking or eating. The kicker is her family owns coconut plantations. All the Asians I personally have met use peanut or other oils. Do these ancient cultures know something we don"t?

[@healthwise7804]

Ghee is higher in cholesterol than butter. Butter is more digestible than ghee. Butter is also not as PROCESSED than ghee is. so more vitamin and minerals retained and not heated away. Thank for telling about cashew. I always felt not right after eating them. Thank you for the other information too, brilliant stuff.

Ghee and clarified butter are technically different things. ghee is clarified butter that has been cooked longer so that the milk solids caramelize which is probably why it has 1 gram less sat fat per tbsp. ghee has 113 cal and 7.9 g sat fat per tbsp while clarified butter has 130 cal 9 g sat fat. Butter has almost no lactose or protein to begin with. Butter contains a 0.01 gram of lactose and 0.12 gram protein per tablespoon compared to 8-ounce glass of cow’s milk has as much as 13 grams of lactose and 8.75 grams protein.

Thomas, why is sunflower oil bad but the butter is good? Is it because of the smoke point only?

[@thenew4559]

Vegetable and nut/seed oils become easily rancid when exposed to light. When you consume them it causes an increase in free-radicals in your body, which spikes up inflammation. This is only in the pure oil form, though. You don't need to worry much about the oil inside of raw sunflower seeds going rancid (as long as they aren't roasted). As far as pure oils, stick with olive oil (not healthy for cooking at high-heat), coconut oil, butter/ghee, avocado oil, and even quality animal fats (preferably grass-fed meats).

[@PC-Elect]

Thanks for the informative video Thomas. However, I noticed that the second ingredient listed on the jar of Sunflower Butter was cane sugar syrup - is that good for keto?

Thomas, that Sunflower Butter had CANE SUGAR bro, bad choice, read labels carefully...

[@pauldearden5605]

Lol, that was the first thing I noticed (as did several others commenting here). I was fortunate to find a brand here in Canada that has 1 ingredient: sunflower seeds. The sunflowers are roasted, which could detract somewhat from their health profile, but it's hard to find a nut butter where the nuts aren't roasted. I will still take that over the added sugars.

[@Nimerian]

Good stuff, however, I want to note that for oils the choice is only one: extra virgin olive oil. I know it's pricey but its the absolute best. Extremely versatile (salads, frying and cooking) and healthy. I recommend buying in bulk from a reputable source. Also for nut butter, tahini (sesame butter) is a good solid choice however it needs a bit sweetening (I use honey) so no the best for keto but this combo provides lots of callories and energy.

I request you review the healthiness of 1) Olive Oil ( I have heard it is unhealthy if you cook in certain ways with it). I have also heard that some brands sell fake olive oil that is largely composed of other cheaper vegetable oils, how do you tell? 2) Full-fat coconut milk, the type you find in the Asian grocery isle that has about 400+ calories per cup. Is this stuff good for you, if so should consumption be moderated?

I was wondering about the algae oil..is the taste neutral, omega 3 to 6 ratio, other nutrients that are beneficial or a problem. Since it seems to be a new oil I wonder about cost. I have looked a safflower oil, but it gets such mixed reviews, I am hoping for another option. I love olive oil, but not for mayonnaise for example. Thanks for all the deep research you do on your topics...first rate stuff.
