Podcast: Saturated Fat and Fast Food

[@smallfootprint2961]

On and off vegetarian/vegan since the early 80s. Though I've done this plant based thing imperfectly, the damage is less than if I didn't do anything. It's been many years now since having cheese or butter, or s piece of bacon. Last time I tried them, I was repulsed. Practice makes it all better. Do your best. Eventually, you come to prefer the 100% plant based food. Plus you get addicted to feeling good. I know I did.

A shift to plant based eating, growing your own food makes you less dependent.

I've been on a plant based diet for about 45 years. I'm 67 and I'm in good health. I don't use alcohol or caffeine or sugar added foods. I don't eat any meat or dairy products. I'm not on any prescription drugs. I drink distilled water with lemon juice added and make my own distilled water. I do take many plant based supplements. Blue-green algae amino acids, vitamins, trace and macro minerals, and plant based Omega 3. The reason for all the supplements is because I believe that the land used to grow fruits, vegetables, and grains maybe lacking the nutrients from over-farming.

I felt i was going to faint, i always workout, i am not obese, and no conditions at all. But i was having a bun and a fruit smoothie for breakfast.

[@Typhoonbladefist]

40 Celsius? That’s 104 Fahrenheit! I’m not surprised at all. Was it humid out too? I do a lot of mountain biking, and I notice it’s a lot harder on my heart and lungs doing uphill climbs when it’s hot and especially when it’s humid out. Any time I bike after a rainstorm and the water is evaporating off the ground, the air feels thick and it’s much more work, and I’m in pretty good shape. I somewhat doubt it was the bun, and that it was more likely the heat and humidity, but either way, it’s probably best to ditch refined flour breads anyway especially if you are seeing performance changes in the exact same weather conditions. Try oats with fruit for breakfast, it works wonders for me. Quick/rolled oats, oat milk without added oil, blueberries, a banana, and some ground flax seeds. You can probably put all that together quicker than a smoothie with less to cleanup after too.

I wonder if there are any studies done on middle to older athletes and how they performed on “race days” vs what they ate prior to the race that morning? Especially the ones that had some kind of cardiac events during the race or after. Could it be this type of scenario - your middle aged, getting back in shape, still eating a predominately animal based diet, have a high fatty, salt infused breakfast prior to your fun run or bike ride and then have a cardiac event either during or after the run or ride? I think this would be an interesting observation study.

Fast food is bad. Not saying it’s not. It’s just not saturated fat that is the cause. There is actual meta analysis of all the research and even umbrella reviews of this data. All saying saturated fat has no effect of heart disease, diabetes etc… look it up ppl!

[@ihopetowin]

Quite right. I've made comments regarding this matter. Please have a look.

[@ihopetowin]

Metabolic Syndrome is a derangement of the metabolism (loss of homeostasis), abdominal girth increase via visceral fat due to storage of fat in the liver, pancreas and muscle known as, De novo lipogenesis. HDL low, LDL high, borderline high blood pressure equates to insulin resistance thence diabetes et al. Insulin Resistance is created through prolonged elevation of Insulin production. If insulin is maintained at a perpetually high level, the fat stores in the body cannot be accessed meaning more and more weight accumulates and a state of insulin resistance ensues.Instead of measuring blood sugar, it is insulin levels which should be scrutinised because it is insulin being overloaded by processed food which begins all the risks of one's health being horribly compromised. IR and Diabetes cannot be treated with high carb, low fat diets and insulin injections. The only way to reverse IR and Diabetes is through a high fat moderate protein whole food diet and fasting. The way around this pandemic of chronic disease is the rejection of sugar/fructose, vegetable oils, grain flour and chemical additives. Stop buying these poisons. Whole food is what our ancestors ate and they rarely saw these maladies. When it is now documented pre-teenage children in this day and age develop NAFLD as a result of the western industrial diet, it's time to consider holding food industry profiteers to account. The last 50 years of health degeneration points directly at the likes of Ancel Keys and the monstrosity created by said manufactured substance industries.

[@alpoulin1]

Thank you! VERY well explained and 100% agreed :)

[@Typhoonbladefist]

What’s interesting is that red meat also contributes to insulin resistance. I never knew this.

[@ihopetowin]

@@Typhoonbladefist No it doesn't. IR is created through high sugar consumption creating an hormonal imbalance. Examine human diet from 1900 to 1970 and examine the last 50 years. Populations eat too much processed foods and eat far too regularly forcing loss of homeostasis resulting in IR.

[@Typhoonbladefist]

@@ihopetowin your reply got deleted. I literally just read a study showing how red meat causes insulin resistance and I believe Dr. Greger also comment on this. I’m not denying what you are saying is wrong about sugar/processed foods, red meat is also a contributor. Diets have changed a lot over the last century and I’d argue that fruit and vegetable consumption (fiber in general) has gone down considerably, which contributes to this problem.

Saturated fat is in every oil and fat on the planet, whether it's a nut a fruit or an animal. Coconut oil has 95% saturated fat. Lard has 45% saturated fat. You can't make a judgement on that. We're made of animal products. The main danger is factory made foods and oils. The ones that are made from seeds are dangerous. Coconut and olive oil are fine. So are animal fats. People keep forgetting we're animals. We have the digestion of a wolf not four stomachs of a cow.

[@Acein3055]

There was a comment that I received that implied that drinking bottled spring water is better for one's heath than distilled water. I disagree 100% that drinking spring water, especially store bought bottled so-called spring water is better for one’s health. I know the source of my homemade distilled water and it is pure, uncontaminated, and has not been stored in plastic bottles in some hot warehouse. Drinking any water that’s been stored in plastic bottles where the bottles have been exposed to a hot environment, for who knows how long, maybe years, is unhealthy due to the plastic leaching into the water regardless of the type of plastic. Another problem with bottled spring water is that the consumer does not know the true source or the purity of the water. Water distillation removes waterborne biological contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, organic and inorganic chemicals, heavy metals, volatile gases, cysts and other contaminants. Distilled water contains virtually no solids, minerals or trace elements. It is clean, natural and healthy. Many companies put a percentage, up to 100%, of tap water in the bottles and label it spring water or purified water. Even if the water is 100% spring water, how can the consumer tell weather it’s contaminated with toxins or what the water picked up from the ground, traveling for miles, before it was bottled. Unfortunately we live in a toxic contaminated environment. Another problem with spring water, as well as city tap water, is that there is too much rock based calcium and magnesium in the water for healthy consumption. Consuming rock based calcium and magnesium does more harm to the body than good. Spring water, as well as city tap water supplies rock based calcium and magnesium instead of PLANT BASED calcium and magnesium. Plant based calcium and magnesium, like what is supplied in food, is porous and complex rather than solid like a rock. Plant based calcium and magnesium live as part of a whole matrix of minerals organized in a natural honeycomb structure. Under a microscope, the structure actually looks a bit like bone structure. Plant-based calcium and magnesium is a whole food the body can easily recognize and use. I’ll stay on my course of distilled water and uncontaminated macro and trace mineral supplementation for the rest of my healthy life.

[@andreawisner7358]

Well he answered the question of whether salt intake by itself is harmful, but it still leaves the question of how much is too much. Are the people who are prescribed salt by their doctors for serious hypotension issues (like POTs) being harmed, where their intake is around 3500 mg to 5000 mg per day, or is there a higher point at which the harm starts?

[@andreawisner7358]

The only suggestion in this study www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5431073/ as to what qualifies as a high sodium diet is "9 g" per day (footnote to a different study). That's 9000 MG! They reduced by 3 g for that study, so to 6000 mg, and their arteries saw a benefit. So this study does not suggest zero added salt. Also, the linked study is a study of "normotensive" people for the benefit of hypertensive people. There was no involvement of hypotensive people. The footnote study was a study of obese hypertensive people.

Proto Humans/Hominins evolved because they ate flesh. Paleoanthropology illustrates this very clearly, from Australopithecine on to Homo Habilis, Homo Ergaster and on to Homo Sapiens. It's because meat provided high quality dense nutrients assisting in brain capacity increase, physiological and skeletal changes which enhanced our abilities to survive and develop lithic technology and further over great expanses of time higher and higher intellect.

I eat plenty of saturated fat, but also healthier fats (olive oil, NUTS), vegetables, wild caught salmon, TONS of (pasteured) eggs, cheese, cream etc. but ultimately stopped eating crappy refined carbs, processed foods, most sugar and became very active. After 5 years, I have successfully reversed my prediabetes, hypertension and my triglycerides are now ideal. Both HDL and LDL cholesterol are perfect. It's the crappy carbs, sugar, processed foods and lack of activity that ARE the actual problems. Sure, going vegan is also a healthier option to the standard american diet, but low carb and avoiding processed foods can work just as well. Saturated fat here and there is fine as long as it's not combined with tons of crap carbs/sugars and a sedentary lifestyle.
