Fun fact about that interview! Dr. Gundry tried to have it taken down due to “defamatory statements regarding Dr. Gundry’s medical advice.” All Dr. Mike had to do to beat the claim was tell the KZbin rep “watch the video. He made those statements, not us.”

[@EndoftheBeginning17]

If that's true Gundry knows he's skating in thin ice, cherry picking data. I've seen other docs that say, "eat this one thing to cure blah". Except the amount needed to cure anything would be far in excess of what you could actually eat in a day without getting sick - same as the fitness gurus that say doing it the way they say to do it will give you awesome gains (except you have to be pretty advanced as a body builder to even have the support of one's stabilizer muscles

He's not stupid, he absolutely knows he's a liar. He may truly think his diet is the best, but he's not willing to do the work to prove it, because that requires overcoming decades of research that flies in the face of his assumptions, so the easier path is just to say bold face lies and use redirection with confidence and think that the ends justify the means.

No matter what your IQ is, when you put your ego above the scientific method, you're functionally an idiot.

[@David-qj1mr]

That last line goes so hard. I'm banking that lol. One of the best things a professional can say when they're stumped is "I don't know! But I'll look into it and/or refer you to someone who might" I don't think Dr. Gundry would ever say that at this point.

[@frankcooke1692]

Understanding why the consensus is correct requires understanding of how it was arrived at, but it doesn't allow you to show off how smart you are - because it wasn't your idea. But being contrarian enfranchises people with little knowledge of a subject to feel as though they are part of the conversation. And then other people with little knowledge of the subject go "this guy might be on to something - he sure is smart, and I must be smart for agreeing with him. I AM special". See Eric Weinstein and the slobs who follow him.

A Hershey's milk chocolate bar (1.55 oz/44g) has 220 calories and 25g sugar. For the same amount of sugar, you could eat 156g of grapes, or 65 grapes for 104 calories. That's more than 3 times the food volume. Also, the chocolate has 8g sat fat, 5g unsat fat, 35g sodium, 1g fiber, and 3g protein, 160 mg potassium, 4% vitamin D, 6% calcium, and 8% iron. The grapes have 0.2g sat fat, 0.5 g unsat fat, 3g sodium, 1.4g fiber, 0.9 g protein, 191 mg potassium, 0% vitamin D, 1% calcium, 1% iron, 6% vitamin C, and 5% vitamin B6. The grapes have more volume, less fat, less sodium, more vitamin C and B6. But it also has less protein, vitamin D, calcium, and iron. Both are about the same for fiber and potassium. I could see looking at the nutrition and thinking that's a wash. But if you're trying to prevent weight gain, the 3 times volume of grapes for half the calories is a huge benefit to satiation. And of course there's lots of phytochemicals in the grapes that aren't reflected in the nutrition label.

Yeah, I quit smoking about a month ago and started using Zyn pouches to control the urges. When I asked my smoker friends if they wanted to try them since they worked so well on me, one of them said "Hell no, I heard those are horrible for you". I was like *"WHAT?* YOU SMOKE!"

[@jaredschmidt8013]

To be fair, there are a lot of doctors and veterinarians who will exaggerate (or even flat out lie) about the state of someone’s condition just to put them through treatment and make money off of them. I had a friend who went to a doctor that told him he had skin cancer and needed treatment right away or his life was in danger. He couldn’t afford the treatment they offered and so just decided to live with it until it killed him. Turns out, he never actually had skin cancer, or it was a very benign form of skin cancer that didn’t require treatment. There are corrupt doctors out there who care nothing for people’s health and only want to make quick cash. It’s a shame we have a profit-driven medical system that isn’t able to weed out weaselly doctors like the one my friend had. You can never fully trust doctors or healthcare people. They’re humans like everyone else and just as prone to mistakes, corruption, and greed as anyone else.

1 grape = 0.4g sugar; 1 hershey bar = 41g sugar. You have to eat 102 grapes to get equal sugar. Calorically, 360 calories for a hershey's bar; 2 calories per grape, or 180 grapes.

You're forgetting that all sugar is not the same, this is why I hate the fitness industry and bro science. You guys seem to be stuck on the most basic of basics, the best example is calories in vs out makes you gain or lose which metabolically isn't true... You'd rather focus on energy/heat instead of what and how compounds, componenta and bio chemical feedback is interacting with your body??? 😳😳😳 Fitness industry... Really? Carbs for example besides being unnecessary as your liver produces a volume between 7.8-11.221% glucose, not only breaks down into a micro stresses and micro inflammation which effects every bio marker within the body but it also competes with vit C for Glut4 receptors and transporters meaning you need more vit c compared to if you excluded carbs. Then there's the feeding bad and good bacteria in the gut such as Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, lactococci, streptococci(only certain subtypes) Enterococci, Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus gasseri, Lactobacillus reuteri, Lactobacillus salivarius, Lactobacillus helveticus Clostridium, Faecalibacterium, Eubacterium, Ruminococcus, Peptococcus, Peptostreptococcus, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus Bacteroides, Bifidobacterium, Streptococcus, Enterobacteriaceae, Enterococcus, Lactobacillus, Ruminococcus, and Campylobacter which again effects every part of the body...

4:40 "Real doc" here (also a Russian Jew): Cigarettes do not relax you - nicotine is a stimulant. This is a common misconception. They relieve nicotine withdrawal symptoms (tension) and also the act of smoking might be a form of pace breathing, but the bottom line is that statement "cigarettes relax you" is wrong and misleading. PS. Love your videos, just felt obliged to clarify that.

[@Tman001100]

There seems to be a correlation of cigs relaxing some people psychologically rather than physiologically...still, the negatives just monumentally outweigh any possible benefits. I'm glad I never got into them. Also, one of the most expensive habits.

Tobacco and nicotine do actually help you relax and focus. This is factually true. Cigarettes have so much bad crap in them that you should not use those. But smoking a cigar or pipe have actual benefits for calming down. Helping with creativity.

Just a pedantic side note. Nicotine is not broken down in the body into nicotonic acid (niacin). That can be done chemically in a lab, but not by the body. This was, however, how these two substances came to have similar names.

Smoking them is bad but if you boil them cigarettes can be a good source of protein. If you do this you will not only get protein rich boiled cigarettes that you can eat while doing workouts very quickly, but you will also live longer, have more energy, boost your immune levels and increase your cognitive ability and intelligence. Do not try to shortcut around boiling by using the microwave, if you do that and eat them you will grow cancer tumors underneath your toenails and have to get surgery to remove the toenails permanently.

Despite him recovering and getting better they have to start doing chemotherapy and make him feel bad again.

That is why you treat a person who appears to be perfectly healthy and feels just fine when they have cancer.

The "Hershey vs Grapes debate" was a winner fosho! This is how everyone NEEDS to think; all things have nuance! Don't only consider the point of comparison the salesman offers, think of ALL other considerations that come into pay. Another simple way i try to describe "nutrition" to ppl attempting to eat healthy; "You wanna keep your calories low, but get as many nutrients as possible. So if some snack you're considering is 300cal, how many nutrients do those calories deliver to the body? You want the nutrient per calorie ratio ^high^." Vitamins, minerals, proteins, fiber, micronutrients, etc... these are all things your body needs to function properly, and can develop issues if not regularly supplied. The point of eating is to get enough of those without to much unused energy (calories). So use the energy or eat more efficiently!
