Red Meat & Cancer: 3 Thoughts from a Doctor - 2023

We've been told for a few decades that eating meat is somehow bad for our health.
But we have been eating lots of meat in our diet for many eons, so can it be bad?
In this video, we will discuss the 3 thoughts you should have when any "scientific" claim is made that seems to fly in the face of what we have always done.
Indeed, science has given us many wonderful things and will continue to do so. But, sometimes science is hijacked and used as a paid advertisement for certain products, sometimes science is mis-performed due to the researcher's preconceived notions on the topic, and sometimes the results of research are not protected in a controlled fashion.
Whether you should eat meat, eat red meat, eat processed meat, or eat charred meat are vital questions to your overall health as a person, and to our overall health as a species. What do you think of these studies and what they purport to show??

[@hushhush872]

As a child, I did not like to eat meat. As I grew up, I started eating things like chicken, but I would not touch read meat except ground meat on rare occasions. It wasn't because I thought it was bad. It was because I did not like to chew it. Then as an adult, I was trained nutritionally as part of teaching aerobics to eat white meat like chicken, no red meat and no fried foods. High carb, low fat. I ate very strictly that way for 11 years. Guess what!? I ended up getting breast cancer. Go figure! So for the past 8-1/2 years that I have been cancer free, I have not just introduced red meat into my diet, but I am for the past 4 years primarily keto-carnivore. It is what keeps me well! My doctor loves my blood reports and my mammograms and my ultrasounds and my bone density scans, etc.! I could go on! There is no reason to limit those meats in our diet, and I'm quite certain they are beneficial. I only wish I had known sooner, but absolutely a lesson learned!

The only study this dude cites was to determine guidelines for eating red meat and by their own grading scale the claim to eat red meat gets "weak recommendation, low-certainty of evidence" and the researchers had to update the study because they didn't disclose funding from the International Life Sciences Institute, which is a food industry funded lobbying group.

Great video. I agree 200%. I'm 61 years old and I can remember as a young kid in the early 60s my grandparents told me to eat as much red meat as possible. They always fixed steaks or hamburgers or pork chops or bacon and turkey and they would tell me red meat will give me the nutrients I need ALL day. And they always made sure there was fat on my meat and to eat that it was really good for me. I've eaten that way my whole life.

Thank you sou much😇

[@BrotherTree1]

@@lananeivalde7071 Very simple, just eat as much or as little as you can until you feel full or are full. And don't eat again until you are hungry. That's good because some days you are hungry and some days you are not, and so you don't need to manually decide when to fast or to eat. It'll sort itself out autonomously. The stomach is smart - feed it the nutritionally appropriate diet and it'll know what to do on it's own. Let your body/stomach tell you, not just your brain regarding manual thought processes. Anyways, your stomach has neurons connecting to your brain which is the very part of your brain that signals hunger... it's not just only manual computational logic whilst ignoring your stomach. There's no need for manual logic intervention, just let it automate. That's better and more efficient logic.

But at the cardiologist today he reviewed my husband's labs and addressed his sleep apnea. He said he has to lose 20 pounds, but NEVER asked his diet. And offered no advice on how to do so. The doctor dwelled on the importance of low cholesterol etc. Only saving grace is the doctor ordered a Calcium score test. But after watching your videos for months now, I have learned so much and as a result was not encouraged by the cardiologist.

I wish I had known about keto/carnivore decades ago, my wife might still be alive. I didn't discover it until 6 months before she died of metastatic breast cancer. Too late. But it has lead to a huge improvement in my own health. No longer pre-diabetic, low triglycerides, low A1C, high HDL, quite a bit of weight loss. BTW, Mayo clinic is now requiring patients going in for radiation treatment to be in ketosis first - it improves the efficacy of the treatment and the recovery. One would think if keto is good before you get a bolus of radiation, it would be good all the time.

Very sorry to hear about your wife. I personally came through the back door into the Keto world looking for refractory seizure management. I have been 100% seizure free since March of 2016. Not to mention my weight dropped from 205 to 152-I’m 164 today with about 13% body fat and hit the gym 5-6 days a week. Like you, all my bio markers have dramatically improved. My last “prolonged” fast had my ketones beyond the capacity of my Precision X-tra to measure, ie., slightly south, if I’m remembering correctly, of 8 mM. The reason for the elevation was my blood glucose was 48 dL, and in any other circumstances I would have been in a coma. As it was, I was dead lifting, etc, in the gym and running on ketones and fatty acids. Be well.

That recent systematic review (Annals of Internal Medicine) that made the news, looked at randomised studies as well, they concluded that people should continue their current consumption of red meat (both processed and unprocessed).

The risk is low because it's based on very weak correlation from bad science. Same thing about eating eggs. And consuming salt.

[@guerilla1985]

@@A-A-Ron83 I would do it slowly by beginning to limit carbs little by little then eliminating grains then eventually eliminating sugars too and when you get used to less carbs begin keto and then transition into carnivore, I think gradually getting into the diet will reduce "keto flu" which should be called sugar withdrawal and it will be easier to start if you do it gradually.

Hi Doc, you are 100% correct. The issue is not the meat itself but the way the meat industry is farming animals. The industry feeds feeds cattle for instance with a lot of antibiotics and other drugs to keep them healthy. Residuals of these substances are consumed by humans while eating meat. Then the processed meat contains a lot of preservatives that effect the human biome or the digestive track killing necessary bacteria in the guts. We should eat a bit of fruits, vegetables, legumes, fish and meat of course but overeating just one type of food can lead to various deceases.

[@someguy43210]

The most apparent difference in nutrient I find is potassium, which grassfed seems to have higher of. Nutrition data for meat can be sketchy because it doesn't take into account how the animal is raised. "Grassfed" can mean the animal is eating grains for a month or two before slaughtered. SELFNutritionData: 100g of grassfed ground beef have 289mg of potassium. USDA: 100g of conventional ground beef have 286mg. USDA: 100g of ground bison (grassfed animals) have 328mg. A dairy brand called Snowville which is 100% grassfed dairy cows, the milk is yellow. The producer claims 1 cup of their milk have 517mg of potassium. 1 cup of conventional milk have 322mg. PMC2846864 A review of fatty acid profiles and antioxidant content in grass-fed and grain-fed beef. "Grass-based diets have been shown to enhance total conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomers, trans vaccenic acid (TVA), a precursor to CLA, and omega-3s. While the overall concentration of total SFAs is not different between feeding regimens, grass-finished beef tends toward a higher proportion of cholesterol neutral stearic FA, and less cholesterol elevating SFAs such as myristic and palmitic FAs. Several studies suggest that grass-based diets elevate precursors for Vitamin A and E, as well as cancer fighting antioxidants such as glutathione and superoxide dismutase activity as compared to grain-fed contemporaries." doi: 10.1017/S1742170509990214 Vitamins A, E and fatty acid composition of the eggs of caged hens and pastured hens "Compared to eggs of the caged hens, pastured hens’ eggs had twice as much vitamin E and long-chain omega-3 fats, 2.5-fold more total omega-3 fatty acids, and less than half the ratio of omega-6:omega-3 fatty acids".

[@MrDavidknigge]

@@someguy43210 I supplement potassium by adding NuSalt to my bouillon. Grass-fed beef has only 55 mg of Omega-3 in a 4oz serving. I eat mackerel which has over 1,500 mg of Omega-3. Most of the information I got regarding beef it's from universities that do studies of the nutrients grass finished vs. Grain finished. Where I live in Kansas City, all the cattle are raised in pastures. As far as eggs are concerned, ordinary store-bought eggs are fine. But pastured eggs are better and so I have some chickens in my backyard. The thing is we don't want to get overly picky about everything surrounding our meat diet. Just plain old meat is good for people and they need to be encouraged to eat it. And some people can't afford to go anywhere but the supermarket. They're still better off if they get over their fear of red meat because they will get healthier.

Most of these conclusions seem to be a people jumping to conclusions with a correlation/causation argument. People want easy answers, but many times we don't have enough knowledge. But if you can spin a direct "cause" then you can easily sell a cure.

[@davidhersh1304]

I think the real issue here is the fact that our ancestors ate wild game, not factory fed animals. The omega 3 ratios were much better than our grain, corn, and soy fed animals. Perhaps there is a cancer link, but not necessarily because of the meat itself.

Dr. Berry I agree wholeheartedly with the overall approach putting so much emphasis on ancestral diet. There are four matters that need examining though, that is the mTOR, IGF1, arachidonic acid and Neu5Gc. James DiNicolantonio seems to give us a solution for the mTOR and IGF-1 by using glycine, but in another publication he expressed concern about arachidonic acid and had no solution., There are publications about the Neu5GC and I suggest they need examining.

I totally believe that the KETO way of eating is the best way. I have been on it now about two weeks. So please don't slam me for this. But as a biology major (many years ago), I do have 2 questions about the ancestral evidence part of it. What was the lifespan of these ancestors? Did the meat do any harm at all after reproduction age? Remember, an unhealthy habit can live on through millennia, as long as the most serious harm it causes occurs AFTER child raising. Alcoholism, for example. People have been drinking forever. But it never got selected out of human culture. Just a nit-picking point, I know. I think Dr Berry is awesome, so keep that in mind if you decide to respond. Peace!

Hello and warm greetings from the Philippines, Dr. Berry. I am probably your biggest fan on this side of the globe. Thanks to you and the other key carnivore proponents on KZbin, I have been practicing carnivore now for 2 months. In fact, today is my second month exactly since I first became a carnivore. I've lost 22 pounds with minimal exercise, took 12 inches off my waistline, all my mental fog and sleepiness gone, snoring gone, swelling of right foot for over a year now gone, extreme mood swings gone, midnight snack cravings gone, etc. It was very difficult in the first two weeks since the vast majority of Filipinos eat rice with everything but I eventually stopped craving for rice. And as a former chocolate addict, the craving for chocolates have almost completely faded away. I would like to ask what is the best response when somebody (especially a vegan or vegetarian) says, "There are no long term studies on the effect of eating only meat and how it will affect you many years from now. You are taking an unnecessary risk. You should stop eating meat."
