Is Red Meat Bad for You? - Dr. Berg

Take Dr. Berg's Advanced Evaluation Quiz: bit.ly/EvalQuiz
In this video, Dr. Berg talks about red meats and what the actual study that most people use to prove that red meat is bad, really says. The Nurse Health Study was an observational study based on a questionnaire. This is not the best way to do a true study.
The real danger is consuming red meat has to do more with the added nitrates, that GMO corn and soy commercial meats contain. Grass-fed beef has more omega-3 fatty acids and all studies on meats were focused on commercial animals, not grass-fed animals.

Humans are so intelligent in the first place, because we evolved to be excellent hunters. Predatory mammals tend to have the highest levels of intelligence among mammals as a whole.

If you suffer from skin conditions, especially if you are young, it would be highly advisable to eat a lot of vegetables especially broccoli in very high amounts. It is very important that you do this first before you start introducing food like brats back into your diet. Just because it felt good does not mean it was good for you, street drugs and alcohol come to mind. If you crave meat choose a "better" option such as pasture raise, free range meat.

@Dennis Coen "how could anyone survive a war without alcohol and tobacco" Uhhh, really easily? I mean, spending less time drunk certainly lessens your chances of getting ambushed and shot. Meat on the other hand is great for your body as it was what our ancestors ate preferentially. You can see the evolutionary evidence in our eye orientation (front facing indicates a hunter/carnivore) and in the evidence that our brains actually preferentially use ketones (from fats) as energy even in the presence of glucose.

[@bronktug2446]

Tyler h and how exactly is meat good for you?

[@SenhorTudo]

@@tylerh629 I don't think that meat was a PREFERENTIAL diet: more like it was an absolute NECESSITY. As our ancestors moved around the planet, the habitats - and plant-life - changed, so that certain plants they were accustomed to eating in one place were no longer available in another. They therefore did not know what they could eat in the new areas. Meat, however, is very easy to identify, much more so than plant material. Basically, if it moves around of its own volition, it's meat. It may not have been the tastiest, but all the nutrients the half-men needed were there. Besides, about 60% of the brain (ALL animal and bird brains, by the way,) is FAT, something that very few plants can supply.

The first thing he said was no red meat to which I asked why? He said the doctor says so and that was puzzling to me. I will forward your video to him as part of education because I feel he is not investing the time to educate himself to understand food health. I've hung around him long enough to observe what he ate and it wasn't red meat that was issue but all the processed food including lots of fried and beer drinking esp late in the evenings into late night. He's somewhat in denial of how he had a heart attack but I I'm encouraging him to do his research and find what works for his body and benefits if home cooking instead of eating out consistently. Thank you.

I understand people that are concerned about factory farmed meat. They feed the cattle grains, corns, or even skittles as we seen the other week. And they are injected with antibiotics, live a crappy life and are killed brutally. And I am against that. But you can support smaller farmers or homesteaders that raise their own cattle and raise them humanely, grass fed, no added hormones and they get put down quickly and humanely. No need to attack meat. It's really not much different than the big farms growing GMO vegetables and fruits that are sprayed with pesticides.

I'm vegetarian, not because I am afraid of eating meat but because I simply love animals and current methods are just too cruel and unhealthy. Old fashioned methods, which are now termed organic are much better as people don't need to eat as much of any animal daily. It may be true about red meat but it needs research in the way Dr Berg suggested, looking at variables. Personally, I think it has to do with feeds, antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides and the cruelty element (locked in cages in barns eating unnatural, gmo- -foods, pumped with drugs) that is causing most of the problems. Also Dr Berg, as well as others,have said that humans can affect their organs detrimentally with stress, I think the same thing happens to other animals and they definitely suffer that. The one thing veggie diet did for me was to boost my immune system. Everywhere I went people had flus and colds, viral infections and the like and I didn't catch it once. Have been following Dr Berg and been on veggie keto for 3 months and weight wise has made some difference. I do enjoy his videos and I don't have to agree with everything.

While I commend vegans who TRY eating a healthy diet, most of the ones I know are weak, out-of-shape and are suffering from numerous nutritional deficiencies and immune system ailments. Sure, I eat a ton of fresh vegetables and fruits...but I also eat moderate amounts of high-quality organic meats as well (grass-fed beef, free-range chicken, wild salmon, etc.) along with Irish Butter, Norwegian fish oils and more. Vegans, you can--and should--eat moderate amounts of free-range eggs, Irish Butter and organic milk products without guilt of supporting the horrendous conditions found in most slaughter factories. Don't listen to what Purdue's studies say you should eat...and don't listen to the Vegan community whose studies are equally misguided...instead, listen to your common sense. It's doesn't take a lot of work to eat a healthy diet, but it takes a lot of ignorance to eat a diet consisting largely of processed/refined frankenfoods or a plant and grain based diet that starves your body and mind of vital nutrients. Dr. Berg was correct when he uttered the words, "Where's the [organic] beef?"

[@timegoesby9548]

I am not a vegan but you are wrong when you say 'Vegans, you can--and should--eat moderate amounts of free-range eggs, Irish Butter and organic milk products'. The very nature of being vegan is that they do not eat anything that is or comes from an animal, you are confusing them with vegetarians who do eat milk and eggs.

[@highlander200268]

umm you cannot get vitamin A, D, Cholesterol, Dha, zinc, iron and calcium and b12 on a vegan diet.

[@highlander200268]

you are correct in a sense, your body produces 3000mg this is roughly 75% of needed via the liver, the rest comes from diet, without this you risk vitamin D, bile, steroid, brain health deficiency..

[@highlander200268]

you would? so you would trust an organization that is ran for profit over tons of doctors, gotcha.. lol this is laughable health.howstuffworks.com/diseases-conditions/cardiovascular/cholesterol/difference-between-ldl-and-hdl-cholesterol1.htm Your body, mainly your liver, produces 75 percent of your cholesterol; your small intestine also aids in both the creation and absorption of cholesterol [source: AHA]. The average diet adds another 300 to 500 mg of cholesterol [source: Schafer]. This external cholesterol comes from animal and dairy products. But even if you eat foods without cholesterol, the carbs, fats and proteins all break down eventually and release carbon, which your liver turns into cholesterol. www.intoxicatedonlife.com/2012/06/13/what-is-cholesterol-and-where-does-it-come-from/ Aproximately 25% of cholesterol in our bodies on a given day comes from what we eat (300-500 mg) and 75% is produced by our bodies (800-1200 mg). Because cholesterol is vitally important for our survival, every cell in our body can make cholesterol. Out of the cholesterol that our bodies make, 20% is made exclusively by our liver and the remaining 80% of cholesterol is made by the other cells throughout our body. www.livestrong.com/article/28917-organ-produces-cholesterol/ The human body produces about 75 percent of the cholesterol in it at any given time. The liver is the largest internal organ in the body and is responsible for cholesterol production. www.papafit.com/cholesterol.html Our own bodies makes about 75% of the Cholesterol and the cholesterol we digest from the food, called Dietary Cholesterol, is a maximum of 20% of the total cholesterol in our body. i guess they are all wrong and your precious heart association is right trying to sell statin drugs to protect their product LOL sorry the american heart association is not known for truth

Like it or not, we are not built like grazing herd animals. We don't have multiple stomachs for ruminating a bunch of grains. We are built like meat eating preditors.

Thanks for the info, Dr. Berg! It's great that you get right to the point and provide clear valuable information. I cook my grass-fed red meat at or below 300 degrees F. I do this to preserve the omega 3's and possibly some vitamins. I'm not sure this is correct. It's done based on memory.

[@clp304]

Thank you for bringing it up about organic grass fed meat. That would make a huge difference in knowing if it's healthy or not. So many of the studies are old before organic grass fed meat became important. I would love to see more studies between factory farmed meat and clean wholesome grass fed meat. People have no idea what they are really getting for their money. Thank you for all you do!

[@Jasmin.Ambrosia]

"The problem with research is that they first have a theory, and then do the research to back up their theory. Rather than doing an evaluation on the data and seeing where it ends up!"

[@VelvetRedRoses]

You are right about too many studies we see reported on that are flawed in its execution. Even in junior high school we learned the steps in the scientific method. Yes, it is aggravating to see it put backwards, and it happens all the time. By the way, I’ve almost gave up beef due to the cost and stuck only with chicken and pork. Recently, we have begun to eat beef about twice a month now, and it is really a nice treat. I’ve stopped sugar and simple carbs too and now are seeing great improvement. Thanks for putting these videos out. Short and informative, always to the point which is great.

[@rumo7040]

Great video and I absolutely agree with all you said and a lot of the other comments from the viewers.

I quit eating a lot of red meat for awhile. When I learned about grass fed and what a difference it makes, I started again. Wow, what a difference! Now I buy these little 8 oz grass fed rib eye's that are nice and fatty. Always feel great after eating and never bloated.

[@robwasnj]

So how many meat eaters will truly consume grass fed meats of a known trusted source when it cost so much more? Let's not forget every time we eat out at most restaurants this isn't the case nor are the milk and dairy products. For these reasons I find the vegan diet is often a better solution, well, not just any vegan diet but one that actually focuses on real foods and vegetables not morningstar patties and that junk.

[@xube100]

What about amino acids? I've read that although you can get amino acids from both plant and animal-based foods, only animal protein contains all nine essential amino acids.

[@iforgothowtotype]

Cindi Hatch false

[@Kioooi]

Most foods contain all essential amino acids but some foods are lacking certain ones. Not many foods are actually missing them though. Meat has some non-essential amino acids that plants don't I believe.

[@thegamer.__.086]

Gerard O'Brian plant based diets don't have a source of complete protein so they eat different sources of protein to get all the amino acids while animal meats have all the amino acids directly

[@ianscottlewis]

I’ve been eating Carnivore for almost three months now, and I love it. (all meat - zero carb. Zero veg. Meat +water) Never felt better. I am obese and have been trying numerous lifestyles and diets etc. but never found anything truly sustainable. I tried keto but honestly I never felt full. As much as I tried to eat copious amounts of vegetables to better my health, I could never make it work - always hungry, bloated, and never a difference in how I felt. Started on Carnivore and my cravings... GONE. I can’t tell you what a relief it is to not be controlled by food. I also do various types of fasting. I’ve been IF for a couple of years, with a few longer 7 day water fasts. At present I am 13 days into a fast that started out as a dry fast for 5 days and the slowly introduced water back in. I feel great and have no real desire to stop until my body says otherwise. It was easy starting my fast out of carnivore, because my sugar ravings were already gone. The nice thing is I know if I stop my fast and return to Carnivore, it won’t be hard to do another fast because this one was not really a hardship. Sure I had moments of struggle - social events, serving pizza at grand babies b’day, rituals of celebrating with food, but I just ask myself what is more important to me right now, my health or this food opportunity. Long winded I know, but it’s nice to share. As of this morning I am down 59lbs, feel great, no gyms or treadmill crap (exercise is fine, but I don’t believe man was meant to run in place for 30+ minutes 5 times a week to survive. There’s lots of constructive ways to move outside). Having said that it’s February in Canada, it’s -15c. I use my snowblower when necessary. That’s it. Down 59lbs! Brain feels better, body feels better, sleep is better. All with a high fat predominantly red meat diet and fasting. LESSONS LEARNED: Sugar - bad!!!! Processing foods - bad! Eating natural foods and listening to your body to find what works for you - very good!!

[@jeffreywhite4091]

The other issue I think is that if your body is able to digest red meat properly....therefore one can supplement with digestive enzymes to facilitate with digestion

I had Stage 4 Bowel Cancer and had not eaten and meat for at least 15 years and considered to be a non meat eater for over 25 years although I tried it did make me physically sick, non Smoker and all of that. A healthy BMI but I didn’t eat regularly and sometimes that small meal consisted of a cup cake or a serve of chocolate. Good in some ways and not so much in the essence. After the Operation, 3rounds of Chemical Therapy and as much Radiotherapy as my body old handle, am fine 14 years later. Now, I make sure I eat red meat without the fat cut off and on eating decide then how much to consume. I find a TBone steak with the fillet steak on, will take four-five meals to consume. I don’t like potatoes or veggies but comes and goes with me. I have to really want to eat something that can alter my overall preferences. Some regular verges hit my stomach and my body kicks it out. I did not realise how sensitive to certain foods my system can be. Down right precious if you ask me but I’m fine and have a plan to live into my 120th year. Love your program. I eat only organic and butter and this and that because life can get you through, until you go, just like that.
