Fruits & vegetables - everything you need to know [AMA 36 Sneak Peek] | Peter Attia, M.D.

[@zack_120]

10:52 - when it comes to n-6 unsaturated fatty acid, linoleic acid (18:2 ω-6), people often ignore or unaware of its essentiality status, i.e. it's an essential fatty acid that human body can't make and thus must rely on food to get it. There are very few truly comprehensive, holistic researches evaluating everything duely and reliably that can be taken home to be implemented.

[@tvwsalonie801]

I really like this channel and respect Peter but this video has no substance in it. 20min of we don't really know anything. No take aways. Do not watch this one.

You really be speaking to me, I love your podcast. I honestly had to ignore what Amercan standards of health says & do my own research… low carb lifestyle keeps me healthier & so I had to “unbrainwashed” what was taught to me my whole life

[@beccal7950]

Not sure if you go into this in the longer episode, but saying something like “kiwis good. Bananas bad” leads people like my 65 yr old dad to run to the grocery store and only consume kiwis for the next 3 months. Scientific literature points to the benefit of diet diversity (associated with reduced all cause mortality, increased microbiome diversity, decreased food sensitivities+allergies, etc). Makes a lot of common sense, too. Some fruits have certain nutrients, others have different ones. Some have more pesticide residues than others. Eating a variety averages out the extremes. Also mimics an ancestral diet that had a ton more species diversity and off seasons where our immune system would not “see” certain foods.

[@istvanheimer1845]

I love bananas :) it was scarse or even not avaliable in my childhooh in Hungary in the 60s or only at X.mas time. Now all yr round and the organic is not much more expensive :) and kiwis are usually not ripe :( though I love all fruits really :)

[@barbarab7129]

I have been a forager for wild greens for 9 years. My opinion is... The best diet for robust health is to .....eat the foods that we ate during our evolution, in the wild, pre-agriculture. ie..... Meats/fish and greens! (Seasonal foraged fruits are smaller than a ping pong ball). I eat small amounts of as many species as I can find daily. I am a 64-year-old, fit female. ( no meds, no health conditions, no pain.)

[@AdAm-cw3gi]

How do you know that is the best? Sounds reasonable but doesn’t has to be true.

[@michaelcarter8620]

Why would we eat greens when the majority of them pre agricultural era were extremely bitter and very high in things like oxolates that made them very difficult to digest

[@losiento2]

@@michaelcarter8620 That’s why we Cook them… the ability to start fires by choice is the original innovation that set us apart from other animals and enabled us to survive in many otherwise harsh environments. It also enabled us to “pre digest” some otherwise toxic foods (and in the example you gave, to render oxalates inactive) and to dry and store foods for seasons of low availability.

[@losiento2]

@@1xJOx1 you completely misinterpreted what I said- in NO WAY did I advocate for a veg-only approach and it’s clear early humans didn’t take one or we wouldn’t have the brains (and musculature) we do. All that I said was that fire is what allowed us to adapt to eating (& preserving) the VARIETY of foods (plant and animal) we found and to survive in a number of suboptimal environments. Stop being so reactive and READ what I wrote.

[@johnnyringo7877]

I'm pretty much a vegitarian but I sometimes question whether the reason people who eat vegetables are healthier, is simply because they are more likely to eat cleanly and consume less heavily processed food. And possibly more likely to exercise etc. Is it be purely correlative?

[@jicalzad]

I tend to feel the same way about most people that try to adhere closely to a dietary regimen. I think vegeterians, keto, and carnivore folks that adhere to their respective nutrition program, also tend to exercise more and follow a more routine schedule, which may allow them to handle stress better and sleep better. These folks also tend to consume less processed/junk food.

[@richardfeuille1212]

In a recent article using rodents, all receiving equal calories, comparing standard rat chow, fat chow with coconut oil, soy oil, fructose and soy oil with fructose, ractose and soy oil independently increased weight gain and insulin resistance and soy oil+fructose was worse than either alone. This suggests that soy oil (and perhaps other PUFAs) increase weight gain and insulin resistance. Obviously, this should be repeated in humans and could probably be done over a short period.

[@perrysebastian6928]

Great stuff, Peter. Some good nuggets in your analysis. I am frustrated with the USDA data tables because it tends to be a regurgitation of industry best guesses. It is not properly sampled, i.e., where is the levels of variance and standard deviations. With fruits and veggies, it is the net nutrient value that matters, so the composition is both the source nutrients and the effects of the anti-nutrients. Spinach, dates, oranges, and even advocados have low net nutrition after the gut manages the oxalates

[@tonyneillaw]

Would be great to get all these "experts' in one room and debate, as they all contradict each over over fructose, glucose, saturated fats, fibre, animal protein, diary, grains ad infinitum. Very frustrating. They can all be wrong, but they can't all be right!

[@IvicaOS]

@Peter Attia MD Hello Peter you said that you would recommend bluntly 1 gram of magnesium daily, but what kind? Isn't it that bio-availability of magnesium largely differ on type/form of the supplement, so magnesium citrate is not the same as magnesium orotate for example? What form of magnesium would you say that people can take 1 gram easily? Mind you that some forms have laxative effect...

[@x.y.7385]

Seniors aren't alone in facing the affordability issue wirh membership fees. Its a shame as it seems health knowledge is for the elite and wealthy. The health inequality gap only widens with technology and knowledge. It is the same case for supplements, some healthy foods, organic foods, health/fitness smart devices and in person fitness classes, coaching, gym memberships and more. At least vitamin d from sunshine is free and so is fasting!

You're absolutely right that it can be difficult to factor in subscriptions like this when on a budget. At the same time we have to appreciate that most of the content from this channel is provided free of charge, that alone is very generous. I imagine a significant amount of work goes into each and every piece of content that is produced! Just in case you weren't aware, subscribing will give you access to all the historical content. So if a continuous subscription is not appropriate for you perhaps subscribing for one month at a time every so often will better suit.

[@PriusTurbo]

I'm pretty sure the team would provide a subscription to someone that cannot afford it. You can listen to his podcasts for free if you have the mental capacity to understand the content. I have a membership because I enjoy the AMAs and show notes and I appreciate the fact that I don't have to listen to 15 minutes of ads during each episode. The information Dr. Attia provides is much more valuable than the subscription cost.

I've seen a graph of oysters and the result of the increase in zinc in people that ate oysters by themselves, oysters with greens, and oysters with corn. The oysters by themselves raise the zinc level significantly and it stayed up over the next few hours, it's spiked about half as high when it was eaten with greens, and it flatlined with corn. Often, the nutritional value of these foods is not bioavailable or it can even block up the availability of other foods.

I always think when I listen to you that you fail to understand the body‘s ability to acclimate to what you’re eating

[@traceygratch95]

really shouldn’t be difficult, peter. we know that fruits and vegetables contains fiber which feeds good bacteria in the gut, producing short-chain fatty acids, which are anti-inflammatory, and inhibit cytokines like Tumor Necrosis Factor. Conversely, animal foods contain zero fiber, promote production of TMAO in the gut, which is associated with cardiovascular disease. In addition, fruits and vegetables contain phytonutrients which are beneficial to good health. If you are trying to lower glucose, you are far better served by eliminating refined carbohydrates like bread and pasta. Peter, you should not be influencing people to not eat fruits. It really goes against everything we do know about nutrition. I think you are grasping at straws to justify your personal preference for eating animals.
