*****Eating less meat won’t save the planet, here’s why, 23 min, 3.1M 8 months What I’ve Learned exposes the distortions promoting a vegan diet to help the planet.  The difference in green-house gases and consumption of water is under 2 percent.  Most water is used for crops, and the vast majority of livestock (ruminants) food is not edible for humans, under 10% is edible. For pound of beef it is 2.8 pounds and for pigs and chickens it is 3.2 pound of human edible food per pound of flesh. 2/3^rd  of agricultural lands are marginal (suitable for livestock), and 1/3^rd are arable. ½ of fertilizers come from livestock, most of the waste veg & fruits 42%, grains 22%, tubers 18% and animals 14%.  Switching to vegan is negative, full of chemical and the food made high in sugar and unsaturated fatty acids which is why humans are the sickest of mammals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGG-A80Tl5g .

Dietary Villains – Part 2:  Salt Scare, 30 min, 40,000 view, Dr Jason Fung, goes over the evidence for the  dietary recommendation to lower salt.  Similar to the previous, a lecture in Ih the evidence does the arguing. Another example of useless advice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAGrUwE8zpY Very Good

Salt:  Are you getting enough? 13 min, 65,000 views 9/17, 327,000 views, What I’ve Learned; the historical use was much higher because of food preservation; we urinate the excess away.  With US guidelines for salt we have a higher mortality rate than taking 6 times that amount.

The Silent Epidemic:  The Untold Stories of Vaccines 108 min, 518,000 views, points out how pharma promotes vaccines, many of low efficacy and all of questionable safety because we are injecting foreign substance that have not meaningfully been tested for safety or purity.  But the claims of harm done are too often based on weak science and a temporal relationship.  Good video and sound, worth watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLqSgrhQdq4  very good   

Too much Medicine 28, min, 9,900 views, ABCTV, Catalyst series, Dr. Demasi, starts with mammograms and over diagnosis, thus harm through unnecessary treatment, covers most major issues such as polypharmacy, guidelines, etc. a good start on a complex topic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdffcID_BsA very good

Human interest lacks science, chooses 3 types of medication, pain meds, psychiatric, antibiotics, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_ggnhpGvvA Episode 2: 58 min, 132,000 views, caught in a chain of 10 minute exams and patients who expect drugs, misses how bad they are, and how broken the trials and reporting and guidelines https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wjn4f8YhhfU good [1]

Note:  The large number of professors and doctors who have come forward to criticize pharma’s tobacco ethics which generates tobacco science to market drugs most of which aren’t worth their side effect.  Many of these drugs are causal for other chronic conditions such as dementia, cardiovascular disease, colitis…  A chorus of academic critics has convincing evidence which can be found in peer review journal articles, a sample of which is at /rep and some more /rjk—list of their books, and why doctors give Junk treatments.

2A.   DIETING, SUGAR CARBS; 2B Fasting, 2C Fats  2D ketogenic Diet (Very low carbs).

#3 fasting for curing/preventing diabetes, #4 starving cancer, fasting & autophagy  Links to articles at healthfully.org:  library of topics, diet and food journal articles, basic science, more journal science, non-technical, testimonials   Dieticians & doctors are taught by industry.  A chorus of critics is exposing the misinformation and the real problem is insulin resistance which is reversed by ketogenic diet with fasting.  Fructose in excess is a poison to the liver that causes insulin resistance and the conditions associated with the western diet.  Saturated fats are good unsaturated bad.

3A.  Diabetes (t2d) & Insulin resistance (JK’s diet cure, & select journal articles)

History has been buried the stand treatment developed in the late 1800s for type two diabetes, a condition which afflicted the middle class and wealth, was to go on a Banting type diet very low in carbohydrates, and the consensus is the medical literature was that if they followed that diet there life expectancy was not shortened.   For those with type two diabetes Meletus, the issue isn’t glucose but the failure to produce sufficient insulin which signals cells to import glucose from the blood.  It is a no brainer, the way to keep blood glucose in the normal range is to eat very little carbohydrates.  Only since about the year 2000 was it known that with the metabolism of excess pancreatic fat will the beta cells again produce sufficient insulin.  The cause of adult diabetes is a fatty pancreas.

2C Fats, saturated. unsaturated, rancid and trans.  Again, we have industry maximizing profits, and this case almost every that is believed by physicians, dietacians, and the public is false. For example, saturated fats are the preferred best source of energy, moderately better than glucose from unrefined starches. Unsaturated fats (UFAs) become rancid on the shelf, cooking and in the body.  When rancid the damage the membranes of cells including the mitochondria, and thereby every metabolically active system in the body is operating at suboptimal levels. Omega-3 fatty acids are not good but bad, since they are UFAs.  What is good is another compound, furan fatty acids, found in fish oil; they prevent rancidification.  Omega-3 are not essential for health and they don’t reduce inflammation.  Saturated fats are heart health and preferred by the heart and brain, and UFAs aren’t because of rancidification.  And there is more the evidence against trans fats is weak.  The western ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 (1:16) isn’t bad, it is the quantify of seed oils (vegetable) UFAs that is. 

Unsaturated vs saturated vs trans fats, animation, 5 min, 184,000 views,  Allia Medical Media, gives the industry’s good and bad fats, good and bad cholesterol, omega 3 essential fats, nothing on rancid, explains clearly the structures, distorts the legislation on trans fats, misses the exceptions  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brs2nMubr84  skip

2D  Ketogenic Diet (New Atkins Diet, his diet has been changed based on modern science to low protein and more green vegetables—low net carbs).  The ketogenic diet is extremely low-carb diet (under 50 grams, 2 ounces) forces the body to burn fat.  It is used to treat intractable epilepsy and to starve cancer thereby sometimes curing or at least reducing the risk of a cancer becoming metastatic (fatal)—see section 4.  It also reduces the risk of a tumor developing into a cancer.   The ketogenic diet was used before insulin to extend life of those with type-1 diabetes.  Fasting makes it easy to go into ketosis.

3A.  Diabetes (t2d) & Insulin resistance (JK’s diet cure, & select journal articles)

History has been buried the stand treatment developed in the late 1800s for type two diabetes, a condition which afflicted the middle class and wealth, was to go on a Banting type diet very low in carbohydrates, and the consensus is the medical literature was that if they followed that diet there life expectancy was not shortened.   For those with type two diabetes Meletus, the issue isn’t glucose but the failure to produce sufficient insulin which signals cells to import glucose from the blood.  It is a no brainer, the way to keep blood glucose in the normal range is to eat very little carbohydrates.  Only since about the year 2000 was it known that with the metabolism of excess pancreatic fat will the beta cells again produce sufficient insulin.  The cause of adult diabetes is a fatty pancreas.
