Scientist reacts to Carnivore Doctor on Joe Rogan | Part II

Dr. Paul Saladino's claims on the Joe Rogan podcast. Part II of the fact-check. Yet another Joe Rogan podcast touching on nutrition...
109:38 as long as you have high HDL, increasing LDL has very little risk. very little cardiac risk.
common idea that HDL-c makes up for high LDL-c. this idea of the protective HDL-C comes from correlation studies. bag 2. when it was tested directly, in randomized clinical trials, bag 3, raising HDL-C did not improve cv risk. meta-analysis of 39 clinical trials:
“observational studies suggest a simplistic hypothesis for HDL-cholesterol, that increasing it would reduce cardiovascular events, but substantial trials do not support this concept”
genetic studies confirm that higher or lower HDL-C determined genetically didn’t change cv risk
bottomline, for heart disease, raising HDL-C probably does nothing and certainly does not make up for high LDL-C
LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides are helpful markers but it's well understood that the real cause of heart disease is the number of lipoproteins, the vehicles that carry cholesterol and triglycerides. In most people, high LDL-C and high triglycerides indicates high concentration of lipoproteins, but some people are exceptions and may have high lipoproteins but normal LDL-C or vice versa.
111:21 insufficient evidence to say high LDL in someone who is metabolically healthy is the same as in someone who is metabolically unhealthy.
we’re acknowledging high LDL-cholesterol is a problem, but maybe if I’m metabolically healthy, if the high cholesterol is the only issue, maybe I'm an exception? meta-analysis: lowering LDL-cholesterol in different contexts.
‘there was a reduction in cardiovascular events (heart attacks, strokes) in people with diabetes which was similar to the effect observed in those without diabetes” and “There was a reduction in mortality with lower LDL cholesterol in people with diabetes, which was similar to the reduction in those without diabetes”. they conclude “Among all trials, the effects of cholesterol-lowering were similar with or without diabetes”
So whether they had diabetes or not, they benefited by bringing ldl-c down to normal levels.

[@ChessMasterNate]

High Schools should require a high quality year-long statistics course to graduate. Far more important than Algebra 2, or Trigonometry. They should also have a full year of quality economics. People need to understand scientific results to make good decisions for their health and the health of their families, among other issues, and as voters, understand when a policy is more likely to work or fail, and what are the likely unstated results. And only choosing to include wars, politics, panics, and protests and such in history courses is pointless. At least half should be the history of science, technology, infrastructure, trade and thought. Some understanding of the law, business/accounting, and tax law (even if it changes time to time) makes sense too. Not the most exciting topics, but they matter. Home maintenance makes sense, too, as neglect and mistakes can cost you a lot of money when you own a home. Your home could even be condemned, and have to be demolished, and leave you homeless and bankrupt.

[@axelenock6503]

@@ChessMasterNate I agree with you that statistics is very important for high school students to learn; however, Algebra 2 and trigonometry are super important for calculus, which is extremely important in the natural sciences and engineering.

[@larsonpark3819]

Joe's statement, "We should eat that we evolved to eat" is a ridiculous point for many reasons. 1. Just because we evolved by finding a way to get more calories efficiently in nature (killing and cooking animals) doesn't mean we necessarily need that particular vehicle (meat). Nutrients can be gotten from many sources. There are no magical nutrients in meat. 2. Just because people have been doing something for thousands of years doesn't make it optimal. People have been smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol for thousands of years. Does that mean we need those vices to be healthy? 3. Part of our evolution includes ethical evolution. We now condemn outdated acts of cruelty like slavery, witch burning, child whipping, wife beating, etc. We don't need to harvest and slaughter animals for food. We could (if we chose) condemn that outdated act of cruelty too.

Just stumbled onto this channel, so refreshing to hear from an actual scientist who applies science and critical thinking to the statements they make. You earned a subscriber, love the vids! And btw, hate that ppl like Dr. Paul Saladino get so much attention in the media. Guy went from extreme raw vegan to extreme carnivore to extreme this and the other just to say neither works (later on he admitted to getting muscle cramps etc. on the carnevor diet and switching diet (again)). Moderation is rlly the key, not everything has to be so extreme, and not everything is inherently bad or good due to one small compound or isolated observation.

[@YeahWellShutUp]

Moderation is key? Why? Doesn't it depend on your goal? Most people look like shit once they reach 50, and most are borderline crippled by 80. Do you believe that living a "normal" lifestyle of "moderation" is going to make you an exception, or are you just accepting that outcome? If the latter is the case, just be aware that those who adhere to any extreme diet have a different goal than you. If you take the same actions as most people, it is highly irrational to expect a radically different outcome.

[@fedekoen5996]

@@YeahWellShutUp Moderation in terms of including an array of different types of foods in your diet (whilst sticking to only whole foods with lots of berries, pulses, whole grains and dark leafy greens - which is already what literally only (guess) 1-5% do anyways, making it unusual). Going all out excluding an entire foodgroup (carnivore) or macro nutrient (Low-fat vegan) to gain an "exceptionally" healthy state usually leads to the opposite. Excluding junk, processed meats and sugars is already a big leap compared to the tendencies in society - and will set you apart from the norm in a healthy way.

[@DJ_Dopamine]

Just out of curiosity. Why did you do it in the first place? I'm not judging, just trying to understand why anyone would do that

[@ohgeezrick2019]

@@edgbarra There’s a couple reasons I think it appeals to people. One is that it is inherently low carb so it will put you in a catabolic state, which in turn breaks down your fats (and muscles) for energy. So it’s a good weight loss mechanism, and the high protein intake can help offset some of the muscular degradation. The second part is that the “diet” often claims you can eat as much meat as you want and still lose weight. Frankly I have no idea if this is true, but I am doubtful of that claim. Regardless the high protein keeps you full longer, and it doesn’t feel as restrictive if you don’t have to starve yourself.

[@jennoscura2381]

This right here illustrates the problem with the term plant based. You often see it used for a diet free of animal products. But here you are using it in a more logical way. A plant heavy diet should be what the term plant based means. I am an ethical vegan and my diet is not 100% free of animal products. There are cases where consuming animal products is fine. If someone gives me their leftovers from the steak house; it in no way supports the exploitation of sentient beings. The damage was done when the steak was ordered. Also, bioidentical products like "lab grown" meat are fine too because it doesn't involve the exploitation of sentient beings. Terms can be so confusing sometimes.

[@MiguelSantos-uh5hk]

You’re the best, Gil! Informative, solid sources and entertaining.

Great content. I'll definately be watching and recommending this channel. That's high quality information and you're teaching people scientific skepticism on top of that. Fantastic!

Let's see what Joe Rogan eats. He may be selecting guests to make himself feel better.

[@saratc660]

It is what he’s doing. He knows with the game changers debate that he unintentionally made thousands of people go plant based, so he personally asked for Layne Norton do a rebuttal video, went on the carnivore diet, had Paul Saladino on, and posted about the vegan bone fracture study on his Instagram

I think yes, i too am an meat eater and most of the time before I found this channel I always felt threatened by vegans. While I still dont agree with the ethics of veganism. It is without a doubt that it helps the planet and our health

Far the best channel about nutrition I‘ve come across on KZbin. Evidence presented in fabulous manner. Simply great! Deep respect from a medical writer.

[@BillysFingers]

Thanks for such an amazing video! Love your work! :)

I don't know doc, I don't think you convinced me on the whole plant food thing yet...😂😂

Meat + plants = best diet

[@piskmanne]

@@changbooger vegan or plant based is the most healthy, moral and evironmentally friendly diet. I think that's a better pick for the title "best".

[@changbooger]

@@piskmanne yes its more moral and environmentally friendly, but its not the most healthiest, thats why veganism is only ever compared to hamburgers, bacon, slimjims, etc etc, its never compared to a balanced diet with moderate high quality meat intake because veganism would lose in terms of health

[@650tonyd]

@@piskmanne wrong! So many vegan folk are unhealthy

[@jamesvogel5304]

I am generally healthy but at 58 approaching an age where I wanted to take a second look at my diet. Started to grab onto some info that gave a green light to going back to more red meat. Myriad sources on KZbin, even those that appear trustworthy, were confusing. So your content has been so spot on and incredibly helpful!

[@jamus618]

Thank you Gill, for the clarity and the balance of your content. It's so rare and so valuable in this age of ideology. You're a quality human. I'd love to have you for dinner at our place and talk about science and life.
