You're criminally underated..

[@Gveggie950]

So agree!!

[@payalbhatt2]

Hello Dr. Gil :) Loved this video. Great takeaways, getting the fundamentals right is a useful step to follow for long-term benefits. I also wanted to add that I listened to your interview with Karina Inkster on her podcast channel. I recommend this to your audience who may not have listened yet. Lots of love and light :)

Such an incredibly underrated channel. Keep up the good work man 👍

[@Trenchant468]

Thank you for your great content! Including educating on how to view and analyze the studies vs. media and influencers.

[@IMissMrKitty]

Love your videos!! I watched this live but it never hurts to watch it again! You always have such great advice!! 🤗

[@richardhardy4243]

well stated lesson. it's better to stay out of the "diet wars" with people and focus on a common sense approach to diet. I like to de-emphasize the precise micro and macro nutrients in each plant and focus more on diversity in color, texture and taste. A bowl of colorful skittles once fit the bill but now a bowl of leafy greens with yellow peppers, red tomatoes, purple cabbage, orange carrots, and black lentils is much more logical.

[@lisavcrawford]

Did not get the webinar unfortunately. This was extremely helpful and to the point, thank you!

[@someguy2135]

I liked the "rocks before sand" metaphor! We shouldn't let the details distract us from the important aspects of nutrition.

[@NutritionMadeSimple]

yeah. the more I do this the more I think 99% of confusion is just distraction by a torrent of info

[@someguy2135]

@@NutritionMadeSimple Nutrition is a complex subject, and experiments with humans can be challenging for many reasons. The lack of certainty allows special interests (i.e. the meat and dairy lobby) and the unscrupulous to make money by selling books promoting fad diets, for example. I am often reminded of the tobacco industry using their own flawed studies to cloud the issue about the dangers of smoking.

What do you think about sweetners like sucralose and stevia? Do they fit in a healty diet?

[@carter5548]

And sugar alcohols.

[@IMissMrKitty]

Sucralose is horrible for the gut and brain. I'd suggest avoiding it like the plague. Stevia is a good sugar alternative. It has a slight aftertaste though.

[@Pyramidenverleih-dm7jq]

Yeah, that would be an interesting video.

[@larryc1616]

Sucralose is an unhealthy artificial sweetener.

[@jillhulbert2341]

[@karimali6945]

Thank you so much for the insightful work, distilling the complex nutrition scientific data for the masses digest (o pun intended) in a simplified manner. I would love to hear your advise on meal planning to ensure you are getting adequate nutrition especially from plant based diet. Thanks

[@chrissvenningson1747]

When he say “not too much”, I disagree with that because many people under eat. If you eat lots of veggies and salads, go ahead and eat how much you want. It’s mostly water and vitamins.

[@eamonhannon1103]

Can you cover the role oif chemicals in agriculture in the medical issues we see in western society . How important is it to eat organic foods ?

[@MaxLambrecht]

Exactly like that diagram with the 6 rings should look like the USDA recommendation. Another great vid btw.

[@ivanvais7754]

Nice video! The advanced advise really resonated with me 😊

[@zacharyadamcruz]

Create a video about avocado seed tea. I’ve heard the seed has the most antioxidants and I’ve also heard that the seed contains the most lectins. So much contradictory information about this. Ive read that boiling or heating foods that have lectins reduces the amount of lectins but then how is avocado seed tea heathy if your basically drinking all the water that has stripped the seed of the lectins? I thank you in advance.

[@RS-cl5wg]

Can you please explain which specific foods we should be eating from each of these 6 categories.

[@adnaloy9025]

Thank you for sharing. This is very helpful. 🙂

[@MuhammadArrabi]

Great presentation as usual. I enjoyed the seminar, especially the diet-cancer connection. Question please: What is your take on Rice & Bread, are they healthy carbs? Or processed carbs? We as a family eat basmati rice and whole-wheat bread on daily basis. If it's a healthy carbs, I'll keep it. If it's not, then we can work to make it a once a week dish. Would appreciate your input.

[@pragooutube]

I wish this was answered- I want to know as well.

[@donnie1725]

Check out his video on whole grains for this :)

[@LeanAndMean44]

Hey Gil! Can you please make a video about disease risk related to consumption of raffined sugars and fructose respectively. I just heard a scientific podcast about it, and they told so many bad things about it, even about fructose. I know (and have learned from you) that healthy eating is about variety and constancy, but just want to know if it really is so damaging to eat sugar, and especially fructose. I’ll look for some studies on it myself now, and will hopefully soon be going to be able to enjoy a video about it from you.

[@NutritionMadeSimple]

I'm sure I'll touch on it soon, they're probably referring to evidence indicting purified fructose, either in lab experiments with pure fructose or data on high fructose corn syrup. sometimes this gets misunderstood to mean we shouldn't eat fruit, which is similar to the lectin misunderstanding (jumping from data on a purified molecule in lab experiments to effects of an entire food in a living breathing human). but yeah I'll try to talk about it when possible, I have so many to-do videos!! :)

[@LeanAndMean44]

@@NutritionMadeSimple thank you, your answer already helped me understand. I see you want to make a video about lab-grown meat, which I find very interesting. So just stick to your plan, and see if you have time for the video about fructose and sugar 😁😄

[@razorgg]

this is 3 years old, so it becomes confusing should i watch this, or what has changed after you have been doing you tubes for 3 years about food, so 1. are the videos dated when you watch them and 2 , how to find the update, presumably there if nothing has changed then , why do i need to watch your videos in the 3 years since? do you get the question?

[@azizkash286]

U really needs more views doctor!

[@northerncoloradotransparen1454]

I tried fruit only for several month's and it was a spectacular experience. However, after years of veganism I do like variety ,eat a lot of raw often, and have found that veggies and fruits will easily give you enough protein to thrive. We have all been sold a lie about animal protein and it's so called benefits. Animal Ag is all about wealth, not health

[@dvdmon]

Great video. I'm wondering if you can help give me some pointers in regards to designing a curriculum for my 15-yr-old daughter who wants to switch to homeschooling next year and has expressed an interest in my helping her with a nutrition course. I've been WFPB (Esselstyn) for 3.5 years, but have increasingly become dissilussioned with the dogma on our side of the fense when it comes to certain recommendations that are not based on good science. She is not plant-based and was initially very reactive toward me becoming vegan, partly due to the fact that I was a big meat-eater and low-carber for the first 9 years of her life, and perhaps also the fact that during the first couple of years plant-based I was probably a bit more passionate than I should have been. Going forward I'm looking for resources that would help both of us understand some of the basics as well as nuances of where nutrition science is without getting super advanced. The only book that I know of that sounds like it might be very balanced is the upcoming Plat Proof by Simon Hill. I'll of course suggest his Instagram page and your YT channel. Are there any other books/sites/channels that may help give us a good basic understanding of things similar to some of the ideas you talk about here as well as how to judge the evidence and not get caught up in dogma from any given side? Thanks so much for all your great content!

[@NutritionMadeSimple]

I've found these guys pretty solid: sigmanutrition.com/ the articles I saw were very evidence-based ultimately it helps to start getting used to reading some studies directly. everything else is always going to be 'second-hand'

[@happycamper4416]

Could you repost your last video for a short time. You deleted it before I had time to read your response. Tnx

[@NutritionMadeSimple]

was it on reverse causality? I forget... we'll do a proper video on it soon, it confuses so many people and yet is kinda straightforward! :)

[@happycamper4416]

@@NutritionMadeSimple yes reverse causality and total cholesterol and all cause mortality. I wrote a short fictitious piece regarding a discussion between a doctor and his patient. Tnx

[@NutritionMadeSimple]

@@happycamper4416 I saw that. pretty funny :) the bottom line is that if you pick someone randomly from the population who has low cholesterol despite their western diet, they may have an underlying issue and higher chance of death (unless they have really good genetics that keep their cholesterol low no matter what they eat...). but if someone lowers their cholesterol via healthy lifestyle changes (or meds), their risk probably goes down. so it's all about WHY your cholesterol is low. hope that makes sense it's always the issue of observational evidence (several factors change so it's hard to isolate the culprit) vs interventional trials (more conclusive)

[@happycamper4416]

@@NutritionMadeSimpleTo summarize your point: Low Cholesterol is like low weight. It is good if the cause is genetics, diet, exercise, medications. It is not good if it can not be explained away by the above causes. Therefore, unexplained drop in cholesterol, just like unexplained weight loss, should be cause for alarm. Makes perfect sense. Can’t wait for your video on this subject. Tnx

[@NutritionMadeSimple]

@@happycamper4416 you absolutely nailed it, so much so that the exact same trend is seen with weight, they even call it 'the obesity paradox': population data often shows higher mortality at normal weight than overweight. that's exactly the example I have in my notes for that future video!!

[@ssiddarth]

Great video Doc, Btw was curious to know your opinion on fake (cultured) meat- know that it's coming from the lab but can it be more nutritious than the actual thing & do you see it taking over the meat industry in the near future?

[@NutritionMadeSimple]

good question! i wana go more in depth into it dont know details yet but yes i think it may be a game changer bc if taste is similar and there are no additional health concerns it'll be an easy sell for ethics/environment and even price will probably be cheaper once they pick up speed

[@ssiddarth]

@@NutritionMadeSimple Thanks for the reply Doc 👍

[@payalbhatt2]

Hello :) I have been doing a bit of research. I suggest looking at Eat Just Inc. KZbin channel. Have a look at the video's titled, "A look into our farm" and "A vision of the future". It is not something which I would personally consume, but I support this as it most definitely can end the atrocity and torment of sentient beings. Looking forward to your feedback on the suggested videos. Thank you,

[@ssiddarth]

@@payalbhatt2 Great video recommendations, thanks. Have read a bit on this myself as well for the very same reason as you & was happily surprised to see the company using feathers to extract the initial sample, had read earlier that most of the companies are using bovine serum for beef that is so this was a pleasant surprise (Looking forward to see what they do with beef & other meats). Hope to see these companies doing well in the near future & eventually taking over. Thanks again for the recommendation 👌

[@payalbhatt2]

Siddarth totally welcome :) I also loved witnessing how unharmed the chicken is. It’s amazing what was created with just her feather. I’ve also read about bovine serum but I think the plan is to definitely move away from this. Let’s hope for the best. Stay safe :)

[@soilikasanen]

Truly healthy foods are too cheap to get the attention they deserve in societies that are thoroughly lobbied and financed by food industry. Optimum amount of foods from 9 whole plant based food groups + B12 and D3 -supplements, iodine from seaweeds or supplement, selenium from one Brazil nut and a tablespoon of nutritional yeast (which offers bunch of zinc), daily overall cost can be as low as 2.5 euros (or dollars) daily. It´s normal to use several simultaneous medications for hypertension only, couple of pills and injections for type 2 diabetes, 1-2 meds for cholesterol, pain killers for arthritis, and get B12 deficiency by interfering absorption with PPIs for heartburn (or from autoimmunity disorder) etc. and put 1000 euros per month for biological medications for what ever. In Finland no authorities are interested about lifestyle medicine - if it means that diet should be something else than "basic recommended omnivorous Nordic diet". There´ll never be enough scientific evidence to overcome the power of money, so it seems. I´ve found this being a huge undiscussed tabu.

[@NutritionMadeSimple]

well put

[@soilikasanen]

@@NutritionMadeSimple Thank you so much for your kind comment. As M.D. I'm rather alone with these thoughts in Finland, but it's nice to know there are objective science based lifestyle -oriented health professionals overseas, at least😊
