Not necessarily. The guy showed his bias when he mentioned the amount of water it takes to raise cattle, it's not like that water is dumped in a black hole. Cows piss, it evaporates or goes into the ground water and recycles just like the water you drink does and the thing about raping cattle I'm pretty sure is already illegal. He's defending the data based on his moral belief's and the data in the studies not being so awful as to be obviously fraudulent. As the studies pile up on the other side and the reviews of the bias in the epidemiological interpretations get more scrutiny expect him to some day switch to an lchf vegan diet which is still possible but something no one is really investigating. Why look for something new when your current belief 'seems' to be the winner already.

[@jeremylong1323]

I'm a student in physiology, I think it's very disingenuous for general practitioners or cardiologists to make nutritional recommendations and tell us what to eat. At least in the sense of, "they know more about the subject then you do." Many practicing doctors in general medicine receive limited to no training in nutrition whatsoever. More then that, they don't even conduct studies to see how certain elements interact with our physiology, they just read the studies. Essentially they know nothing about nutrition that the average man doesn't know. In the case of cardiologists, that's especially true. They spend their whole life starring at lipid panels, which tells us absolutely nothing about our metabolic health. Canola oil, and any other polyunsaturated fats, are highly toxic to our bodies. Anyone who tells you to eat these foods are either ignorant of our physiological response to these oils, or are purposefully spreading misinformation. Glucose and saturated fat, which are actually pro-metabolic, have been taken out of our diets for the anti-metabolic polyunsaturated fats. Polyunsaturated fats promote estrogen dominance and block the metabolic system on multiple different levels. They block the secretion of thyroxine (T4) in the thyroid gland, they block the thyroid transport proteins, and they block the conversion of T4 into the active form T3 which takes place in the liver. To make matters worse, these fats accumulate in out adipose tissues. Quitting vegetable/seed oils (and other sources of unstable fats) is like quitting cigarettes. Due to their accumulation, it can takes years to fully recover from them. They have a half life of 3 years, assuming your liver is relatively healthy and can detox them. So in about half a decade of avoiding them you can finally be back on track.

The one red flag I put up with Dr. Kahn is in an interview he once said fat (meaning any and all fat) is worse than sugar. I don't know exactly how he phrased it but that was what I got out of it. Fat is not all one generalized macronutrient, there are SO many different types of fats, saturated fats, fatty acids, etc. Here he seems to state something I agree with however, plant based SFAs are healthier than Animal based SFAs. And I say this because animal saturated fats might just raise Lipoprotein a levels. AND they might also cause insulin resistance. It's an issue of Stearic vs Lauric vs Palmitic acids.

ummm if they BOTH agreed ZERO HUMANS NEED to eat animals to get all their required nutrients then how are his moral values not related to the question of nutrients? In order to be healthy(they both said it!!) we do NOT NEED ANY nutrients from animals, so they both agreed all people can be healthy consuming zero animal foods....plus how do you know that he was vegan before he knew the science? many learn the science then realize veganism is a must... Plus it's not any kind of a bias about how eating meat/animal products in a diet wayyyyy increases that diet's carbon footprint plus water wasting. there's no bias that's just knowing/learning simple measurements, it's easy to measure how much water/resources it took to grow a field of corn and compare that to how much water/resources it took to grow the food/corn/grain/grass to feed the cow plus all the other water/resources to raise the cow...these things are simple measurements and comparisons, not some kind of bias? it's one thing to just ignore the science or to just be unaware these things exist but to try to say some person can't know what the science says because of their values is confusing to me....There are others who know the science and who aren't vegan but who chose to not eat animal products because of health reasons. Even more importantly tho there are plenty of people who want to be vegan because of the cruelty to animals but because of people/media who spread lies these vegan wannabes think they can't be vegan because vegans aren't healthy or because of the false belief that humans require some kind of nutrients from animals that you can't get on a plant only based diet....it's one thing to understand no human needs any special nutrients only found in animals to be healthy and still be ok with consuming animal foods(similar to how there are still people today who smoke cigarettes even tho by now i think 99.9999999% of us know they cause cancer)....but it's totally wrong to tell ANYONE or believe that humans absolutely require some kind of mystery nutrient from animals in order to stay alive or be healthy.... people think they just only "know" unhealthy vegans because no one wants to believe the truth(that people actually can be healthy and never consume animal products), plus a "vegan" diet CAN be unhealthy because things like oreo cookies and coca cola are technically vegan, then there's the subset of vegans who do some strange things like only eating watermelon or only eating 900 calories a day because they don't realize how calorie dilute eating a whole foods plant based(aka clean vegan diet) is, like people have this mindset when they go on a diet that they HAVE to eat less, but if someone's going from a SAD to a wfpb diet they're probably going to need to eat more food than what they're used to. plus there aren't very many people who've actually been vegan for a long time because it's much easier to adopt a habit/diet/lifestyle if your community is all doing it, so people want to be vegan or eat a whole food plant based diet but find it difficult because they have no support or just he opposite people sabotage them much like someone who is trying to stop being an alcoholic if all their family/friends are still drinking how do they quit..... So since both these doctors agreed in order to be healthy zero humans require animal products in their diet and Malhotra said he respects anyone's view if they don't want to eat animals....it just really bugged me, like if he really respected/truly understood that view he wouldn't recommend people eat animal foods/wouldn't eat them himself, right? It more seems like the other way around if you ask me...like since i want to keep eating butter I'm just going to pretend all the animal/human suffering doesn't exist and ignore all the simple measurements of the resource usage surrounding diets including meat and try to find ANY research(even if it's flawed) that shows the opposite and just believe that so I can justify eating butter because that's more important than the health of the earth or my own long term health or any animals suffering(because yes unfortunately the animals suffer and are unnecessarily killed for dairy production and for egg production) at least you(anyone who reads this) know now, that these foods are not only unnecessary for humans to eat but also cause major damage to earth/the animals/our health. So I'm sure you'll not believe this actual truth but this seed of knowledge will still be planted in the back of your mind since you read all this and it will start to grow and eventually you'll come to realize and say to yourself it's not that I'm depriving myself of something(butter/eggs/etc) but i'm choosing not to eat a particular food because my health is more important, it isn't as important to me as saving the earth and not causing other living/feeling/thinking beings undue harm or suffering just so i can eat something i never even required plus actually feel better/healthier when i don't eat it. You'll come to know how it feels awesome the entire way around to not be so selfish(even tho i never felt selfish when I used to eat animals it was just because I didn't realize this was a very selfish thing to do and I don't view other people who still eat animals as selfish i just like to think they don't totally understand yet but I'm hopeful because i know everyone is able to learn new things/learn from their mistakes....js

[@blacklatin11]

I believe there's a fine middle. Meaning combining Keto with Plant Based (not Veganism). Veganism came about for the animals and thus environment. Be you African, European or Asian, our ancestors were eating meat for THOUSANDS of years BUT...big 'but'...our ancestors never consumed the amount of meat we do now and our meat and plants weren'tso Genetically Modified. Are ancestors consumed more plant based diets and very little meat then and it changed according to their demographic. One may eat more fatty food in the colder demographic than those in tropics/Caribbean...but all of our ancestors ate so little of animals - SO LITTLE that animals flourished. But everything is about money and deception. The same people running the world and running Africa into the ground and deceive you with religion are the same people in the Food and Drug industry. Same people of the Military Industrial Complex. Everything is for profit. And they fear monger you to think its because we're "over populated" so the mass production of processing these animals that cause climate/environmental issues is where these crazy ass vegans come in. But its wrong. Again, if we stop listening these capitalists and eat in BALANCE the way our ancestors did and consume more fruits and veggies and ate meat IN SEASON on how they're farmed...then we will be good. So stop with this vegan, keto, paleo bullsh*t people....ESPECIALLY you vegans. As a spiritualist like my elders...a plant has just as much ka (spirit) as the animal or the tree. If you choose NOT to eat an animal thats your choice. But majority of you still don't pray to your plant food (OR Animal meat for you "omnivores") as our ancestors did. The imposing nature of many (not all) you on people becoming vegan is sickening. The world is sick. Teach the world what our ancestors did and then we'll heal the world and more animals will be saved.

I'm sorry but you don't know what we evolved on. You weren't there. There's villages in New Guinea and Australia where the indigenous thrived purely on fish and pippies, and other purely on sweet potato. The sweet potato eaters of New Guinea were enormously obese back in the 70's before western influence. I had family living there. The pork/crocodile eaters were skinny. The Australian coastal Aboriginal people were skinny living on fish only. Don't assume a fairy story about our dietary evolution is fact. It's extremely varied.

Dr Malhotra is great to listen to Dr Kahn not so much

[@tylerstading3639]

So the consensus I am seeing from watching and reading all the different perspectives seems to be that if you follow a very strict diet regimen of fats with virtually no carbohydrates you can make a high fat diet work, but the those diets come with a huge number of caveats. Fats are best when avoiding most animal sources or if you want to be less strict have to come from VERY controlled sources that you know for a fact were nowhere near factory conditions. For the average American that means you're pretty much limited to eating meat you raise yourself or from someone that you know that directly raised the animal. Even hunting animals can be suspect because you did not follow their dietary sources. What I didn't see is a damning nail in the coffin of Kahn's preferred diet. Which is much more inclusive in the variety of food sources and requires much less stringent standards for adherence (notice Kahn had no problem with some olive oils and nuts). Malhotra focused on insulin sensitivity and essentially implied that Kahn's diet would increase insulin resistance. He said it was a key marker for tracking heart disease risk, but fails to mention that plant-based carbohydrate diets tend to lower insulin resistance. The fiber and polyphenols of most complex starchy foods sufficiently slow the absorption of those starches (www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/11/4/1365) while also providing your microbiota with plenty of fuel to ensure their health as well. In fact it may be the microbiome that is helping to mediate nutrient absorption, as many truly complex starches don't start getting absorbed until they reach the lower intestines (www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0026049512000455, pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/pr300581s). These diets also cut out most fruits, which researchers are finding you should actually be increasing your consumption of (academic.oup.com/nutritionreviews/article-abstract/68/3/168/1910550, www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378512209001741). If plants are making you feel bloated or uncomfortable you should look into conditions such as SIBO or gut dysbiosis (care.diabetesjournals.org/content/early/2014/05/12/dc13-2817.short, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4433416/). Especially if you are coming off highly restrictive diets, diets rich in lots of processed foods, are immunocompromised, or just finished rounds of antibiotics you may really experience a problem as this can kill off a lot of diversity in the gut (Missing Microbes - Martin J. Blaser). On a Macro and Micro scale the plant-based diet consistently performs well in population studies, in clinical trials, in biochemical studies. You can even do high fat diet using completely plant-based sources and still see fantastic outcomes (jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/415074). But, while Malhotra correctly poked holes in the Essylstyn and Ornish studies for their confounding variables and low statistical power, you notice he did not really offer any counter evidence to back his claim that a high fat diet was better, he relied upon a personal anecdote to draw away attention and then pivoted to how insulin resistance is the best predictor for cardiac arrest. What most of these high fat folks don't emphasize is the absolute need for vegetable matter. When pressed they will admit that they are very important, but it is not a central pillar that I see emphasized most of the time and I have watched a lot of videos. Most of their time is dedicated to things like how do you source your fat and protein so as to best avoid poisoning yourself, or getting the incorrect balance of omega-6 to omega-3, or making sure you're eating all parts of the animal (ie lots of connective tissue for glycine rich proteins) which most don't even bother to mention. High fat advocates are not giving you a free pass to eat t-bones every night. If you actually want to add animal products properly the best would be to cut out almost all milks to avoid the lactose sugars and mostly eat fermented foods like yogurt or cheese, but you have to find yogurt without added sugar and cheese without a bunch of added salt. Meat has to be grass-fed, free-range, or wild-caught. The restrictions on food labeling by the FDA in that department are as bad as getting certified organic. After the loopholes and doges that can be done you end up just paying more for a slightly less tampered product in most cases. You also need to know the land conditions of most animals since toxins bio-accumulate, so if you eat bone broth you may be getting heavy metals on the side and fat also concentrates things like pesticides. The problem is employing the diets properly in the current system we have is a Herculean task, and to top it off the science behind it will have as many flaws as those of the Essylstyn and Ornish studies Malhotra criticized. At least with plant-based diets their is an overwhelming body of literature from multiple angles backing up the story, while high fat diets utilizing animal sources have much less ammunition in support of the diet. This study is even suggestive that saturated fats can negatively effect the microbiome (www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0002944016000195). If you really want animal protein your best bet is to raise your own insects, tilapia, fowl, etc. However, you're still looking down more data that is indicating that leucine rich meat proteins trigger the mTor pathway which is linked to cell proliferation and inflammatory biomarkers (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3310004/).
