Nina Teicholz - 'The Real Food Politics'

Nina Teicholz is a New York Times bestselling investigative science journalist who has played a pivotal role in challenging the conventional wisdom on dietary fat. Her groundbreaking work, 'The Big Fat Surprise', which The Economist named as the #1 science book of 2014, has led to a profound rethinking on whether we have been wrong to think that fat, including saturated fat, causes disease.
Nina continues to explore the political, institutional, and industry forces that prevent better thinking on issues related to nutrition and science. She has been published in the New York Times, the New Yorker, the British Medical Journal, Gourmet, the Los Angeles Times and many other outlets.

My doctor gave me a lecture on the dangers of my low carb high fat diet even if the blood tests she had in front of her were all good , at 65 I'm not on any medication, although I'm told the national average is 12 medicines for someone of my age,workout at the gym 4 days a week, my weight is perfect for my height yet she told me my health choice was suicide. I pointed out that her diet advice seems to work because her waiting room was full of people following it, she is no longer my doctor

@@SenorJuan2023 Losing weight is not the main focus, although that's often the first motivation behind people adopting it, and they continue because their health improves dramatically.

3 years ago, due in part to Nina and others on youtube, I discovered the virtues of lchf. I was 194#, a1c 82, and so on.... I went cold turkey and, during my 5 day fast, removed ALL vestiges of any unhealthy food from the house. I was happy that my wife went along with this. We were both in our early 70s. Within 6 months we both attained BMI or ~24 and have maintained that. Yeah, Nina is sort of a here for me, as are Dr. Ken Eckberg, Dr. Ken Berry and many others. It's refreshing that a simple fix is so effective. My PCP was so skeptical but his PA was totally on board. Doctors will never be the gods they pretend to be until they learn how nutrition works. He prescribed so many meds, with all the side effects, that I wonder if I SHOULD be looking for a shaman instead.

I was diagnosed with TD2 two years ago. Went LCHF and refused to take insulin. Complete reversal within 3 months. Dr wants to take credit, but he was completely old school. I have told him over and over. By now I suspect he is afraid to admit the truth. I worry so much about his other patients who are broke from buying insulin, and are headed for dialysis.

[@disnalee]

I am also T2D. My dr was mad when i refused to take more meds to control my disease. Both my foot went numb from the meds and after 3x visit, they ignored it. I had to changed my diet to lchf diet, exercise, and fasting. They told me to eat 5-6x a day and snack between meals which i did. My glucose spikes after every meal so a change was implimented. I did my own research and proceeded with the diet change. My dr never wanted to help me they only saw me as money rolling into the business. They wanted to keep me sick so the profit from my illness.

After 3mos I revisited my doctor and showed him my log book, told him what I was doing and he had that deer in the headlights look on his face. He started writing me refills and said I needed to take them. He didn't even care how I lowered my A1C. Most doctors (PCPs) are like him. Well propagandized by big pharma.

Even though I have lost 20kg, am no longer a type 2 diabetic, and I have received many other health improvements, she refuses to acknowledge the high fat low carb diet that I have followed is responsible. She is not a bad person, I have known her for more than 10 years. But she is so invested in the "system" that it seems that she can't see what is going on.

Eating so many eggs, so much bacon and red meat would make the people think I'm crazy, but the results show something completely opposite. This diet works well for me.

[@tsleong1]

The only solution is to get rid of farm subsidies and government subsidies for NIH, AHA, ACA, etc. and let the free market work. Dietary guidelines don't work and don't need to be reformed, they need to be abolished as well as all funding for any institutions that are based upon them.

[@JohnRayRN]

Totally agree. In a free market money shouldn't flow and prop up something that isn't returning any value but congress just keep voting themselves raises and increased benefits.

5:08 As Nina reveals here, some things never change. Back in 1931, Royal Raymond Rife and Dr. Arthur Kendall, MD-PhD of Northwestern University, thought they too would be praised after publishing their findings on the ability of microorganisms to change morphology (pleomorphism) in a peer reviewable journal. www.rifevideos.com/sciences_latest_strides_in_war_on_ills_disclosed.html Kendall was instead crucified at the first symposium he attended on bacteriology, six months later at Johns Hopkins. Turns out the symposium chair Dr. Thomas Rivers was an Ancel Keys type intellectual bully who supported Pasteur's opposing germ theory and so medicine was mired in that ideology going forward. I think it still is to a large extent, especially in the field of cancer research. Rife is, of course, better known for developing a powerful, light-powered microscope (his Universal No. 3) and using it to find mortal oscillatory rates (killing radio frequencies or MORs) for various pathogens, including the one facilitating metastatic cancer. The AMA cleverly attempted to gain control of Rife's MOR device (not the same as the microscope) through an ensuing court battle over ownership of the Beam Ray corporation, but when that failed, they proceeded to bully any doctor using an MOR device in their usual threatening manner. As said earlier, not much has changed.

[@JohnRayRN]

Absolutely love Nina, her mission, her message, her delivery, her courage. I've been on the same campaign for about 15 years and have maybe made a difference in about 2 or 3 peoples life. I can't believe I am about to criticize ANYTHING about this WONDERFUL presentation. I just don't understand how someone so bright and so dedicated and so thorough and .....I could go on in merited praise...could, while giving a lecture on the politics of foods and listing all the players involved, leave out..............the POLITICIANS, our fearless, bold, tireless, sincere, self sacrificing, noble hearted leaders. Weren't any of them paying attention when McGovern gathered all the scientist together in a political spectacle where Mary Enig and others were yellling this very same message and were completely silenced. Nina does makes several mention of unelected committee, but don't we vote and choose elected leaders to represent OUR interest over a corporate lobbyist or a dysfuntional or corrupt committee. During all the 30 to 40 to 50 year span being discussed didn't any elected officials get a single letter or phone call to draw their attention to the scientific sacrifice being carried out for political expediency? Wouldn't our elected leaders stand somewhere near, if not in front of, the academians that she feels bear the greatest burden of guilt. Personally I would put them in front of the academians just behind one other group. The entire voting public who bear the ultimate responsibility of deciding who to vote for and what to feed their children. If our leaders are not representing us and our food is making us sick who is to blame? We have given up our power to politicians, corporations, academians and doctors. With the wonderful job of talented people like Nina following in the footsteps of earlier giants like Mary Enig and Sally Fallon shedding so much light on this topic so clearly, thoroughly and convincingly, it seems we should be able to now sacrifice enough of our time, energy and money from the bottom up to effect a change, holding ourselves and our elected leaders accountable. I guess we could be more careful were we send our children to school but our responsibility their is a little less direct. If we can take enough personal responsibility about what we eat to save our food supply and health, maybe we could do the same with how we vote and save our country and freedom. Sorry if I degress a little. If Nina would have given just a glancing comment about the politicians role in the politics I really would have let that stand on its own. But, she didn't and the omission risk missing the benefit of being able to apply the lesson learned more generally and thus could limit the amount of good her work can have on the U.S. and the entire world. The effects of the food politics she near perfectly describes cannot be over stated. It has affected the life of every single american enormously, personally and financially. The epidemic of chronic illness it has spawned has take years from the life and life from the years of millions and millions (no exageration) of americans and if not turned around could very possibly cost us the democratic republic we have enjoyed for the last 200 plus years. It is a perfect example of the enormous harm that can occur when people are willing to turn more and more of their responsibility and power over to a large central government (oligarchy) or individual (tyranny) made up of people who by their very nature are to easily misled or corrupted. Truly the topic of this lecture is terribly important and stands on its own as a very worthwhile topic that will bless the lives of millions. I just couldn't resist making the connection to the full POLITICS involved, to further bless the lives of other millions from a BENEVOLENT all powerful government that can do so much more for us than just tell us how to eat. That's my contribution to Real Food Politics. I hope it adds, vs. subtracts, to the Nina's incredible lecture and work.

I am thankful for Nina’s leadership. It is amazing how our true science has been corrupted. We thought our scientist would follow true scientific research and not sell their souls to big corporations. God bless Luke

My issue used to be how to diet diet and diet without any success…. Hardly 2 years on keto and IF and now my issue is how to get as many calories as possible. At 48 I feel same as when I hit puberty… puberty was only time I felt strong and then these carb robbed me of my youth and massive muscles… now at 48 I can do 150 push-ups and can also do cycling and burn 1000+ calories in a session without the fear of collapsing with heart attack… I suspect that I had heart attack at 36 years of age when I tried to box suddenly and almost collapsed immediately I got so afraid that I never did high intensity exercise after that… Then at 43 years of age I tried to cycling and within 5 minutes I felt like I would collapse… again same fear and I didn’t touch cycle again… Then keto and now I have no issues raising heart rate to 191 (max so far) without getting afraid…. Can keep boxing for minutes at a stretch and I feel same energy that I felt at puberty at age 48. Skin always glows and muscles feel full of strength and mentally feel agile enough to race gravel bike to nearly 60kmph with the fear of loosing control on gravel roads. I feel alive.

Thank you for the information on this and other videos you've posted, very informative and encouraging. I've been Type 2 diabetic for a number of years now. In 2 days of dramatically reduced carbohydrate consumption, my blood sugar is down from the 9.0-11.0 range to around 6.0. Information like this helped me make changes in my life. I joked with some family members that I might have to eat a doughnut to get it back up.

[@patriot20000]

May I suggest intermittent fasting? It will reverse your insulin resistance so the carbs you do eat will be utilized better. Watch Dr Fung and Dr Longo, they're terrific!

Amazing woman!

My 68 y.o. friend had his Hb1c up to 11 and blood glucose up to 310… He was on 4 different medications …. In October 2021 I’ve explained the low carb diet concept to him. Specifically, I’ve mentioned that insulin resistance is a self-defence mechanism that our cells have to use to prevent unnecessary excessive glucose uptake. Cells already have too many glucose inside that causes intracellular toxicity with advanced glycation products formation. So, now February 2022….. his Hb1C doesn’t jump over 6.4 and highest glucose in last 2 months is 140. He only take two medications instead of 4… and he doesn’t take it everyday! Pretty much, nowadays he only uses medication 2-3 days a week when his blood glucose is over 120. I am on low carbs/keto diet as well and I lost 76 lb., lost high blood pressure, high TG and borderline Hb1c.

[@edlauren9434]

Its now almost 10 months since my 69 y.o. friend is on low carb diet.... His blood glucose is within 100-105, the Hb1c is below 5.5 and.... he stopped all 4 diabetes medications, additionally he has stopped Losartan (high blood pressure pills) and he does notice that his skin looks healthier and his muscles got some growth. Despite blood glucose levels of 100-105 his endocrinologists tells my friend that he has to keep taking diabetes medications....Just in case!!!! Yes, that doctor told him to continue taking pills just in case if diabetes will come back... Great, heh?

Nina, thank you for being you, so funny & truthful. It is sad that as a scientist myself & did some research at college. I was taught to be truthful about reporting the result of the experiment, unfortunately I noticed some scientists just care about getting grant money, & don't care about being not bias. You are very right that I was told at college by a nurse practitioner that I need to lose weight when she was very much overweight. I tried low fat diet, it worked, but I felt hungry every 2 hrs & it was not sustainable. Once I left college & started to work, weight was creeping back up. Now, with Keto & Intermittent fasting, I am free from feeling "hangry", & lost more than 40 lb, & keeping the weight off, & have the best health comparing to when I was on high carb diet.

In order to understand how this has happened you have to be willing to see things differently by moving yourself to a place that allows a different point of view which allows you to perceive things differently ... and you can start by asking the basic question of who benefits from people eating in a way that makes them sick?

When I first started low carb back in 2003 I began looking at the reasons why our traditionally accepted diets were so harshly encouraged by our governments. I saw a trend throughout history in that when the population gets hungry they tend to revolt and leaders tend to wind up 6ft under. that isn't something that people in power want so they came up with a plan. using newfound science and psychology they realised that carbs were cheap to produce, store, transport and distribute and this gave them an idea. If they could keep the bellies of their people full the people would be less likely to revolt even if they weren't actually happy. it had the wonderful side-effect of making them fatter, heavier and more lethargic and as we know if you can sedate your enemy they are not capable of really doing much damage to you. None of our governments do ANYTHING because it is in the best interests of the people. They only do things that help to keep themselves in power and if they can increase their wealth along the way, all the better. So it made perfect sense to use psychology to brainwash the general public. And who cares if a few people know the truth and try to spread it? Just label them as conspiracy theorists or kooks and the masses will turn away from them. Even if you have one of these kooks standing right in front of you showing you that what you are doing is killing you they will be ignored by everyone...except other "kooks" Never underestimate the power of self-induced ignorance. Most people really don't want to know the truth as the truth is often uncomfortable. Why should they turn away from sugar when it tastes so good and gives them that high they are craving? Something that tastes that good could NEVER be bad for you after all. So the lemmings just keep lining up for their insulin shots and will keep searching for a better deal on their grave site because they know they'll need it soon. The bit shown here about nestle being so perfectly vertically integrated reminds me of a series of commercials I saw on TV one night. It started with a commercial for "golden corral" and their new chocolate and butterscotch fountain dessert bars (complete with marshmallows btw). Next came a commercial for a diabetes drug to help manage your blood sugar, followed by one for a law firm and one of those "have you been hurt by this drug" lines. The commercial break then ended with one for a life insurance company telling you to give them money to help prepare for your death and take care of those you leave behind. I was POSITIVE someone in the cable company was trolling the viewers as the chance that this was a random occurrence was just too big to believe.

[@mattcaplis3045]

Interesting comment. You're correct in that people choose to be unaware, especially when it threatens their self-worth. Nina spoke about the scientist who has spent her whole career believing and researching how high fat diets lead to heart disease, now imagine when her core belief is challenged how she will react. Even in the face of solid data people will reject it to protect their self-worth. In addition, humans engage in confirmation bias to comfort themselves in the knowledge that their belief(s) are correct and rarely challenge, or scrutinize their beliefs, which makes change process so difficult to effectively engage in.

[@cswann8]

8:44 I see some parallels between the pushback on a low-carb and high fat/protein diet and a certain recent political figure. Yes, the country benefited massively, but it seemed to many that a worse president and all that came with that was what we needed.

[@dkvikingkd233]

The problem is not conservatism, it's veganism, pride, Pharma and environmentalism!

[@ShareefusMaximus]

33:45 1965 looks like a lower protein Barry Sears zone diet. Or maybe like the "perfect health" diet which is pretty high carb and high fat. I'd be interested in what 1865s macros looked like.

[@Mikael655]

Great work. Allah bless you for

[@interestedpart2650]

Brilliant ❤

[@carnivoreRon]

I just posted this video to my physicians' office Facebook site. I told him in August, 2019 that I had been posting videos. I have not stopped. He supports the standard American diet. Maybe he will eventually watch one of them.

[@pinkdiscomosh2766]

12:25 the Nestle slide had me rollin’. They will help you gain weight and maybe loose it. Lol

Excellent perspective, much needed.Been keto/lchf for 16 months it is wonderful.

Has someone a link to this report of the National Academy of Medicine that says the guidelines have no basis?

Very good. Please keep up the good work. I lost 50 pounds on a low-carb diet and feel much better.
