you know you keep hearing this rumor going around that red meat will cause
cancer heart attacks stroke and diabetes recently there was an interesting study that came out that
analyzed five different meta-analysis which are studies of studies and looked at all this data
and they came up with the conclusion that adults should continue their current consumption of meat
and processed meat and then in the flip side you hear the opposite right the current the
usda guidelines and say that no you need to decrease your consumption of meat and start
eating plant-based foods etc etc in fact this is the recommendation of the usda the fda nih ama aha
ada etc etc etc so there's conflicting information which is like the hallmark
of what happens in health all the time so anytime you have conflicting information
it's really important to dig into it and try to find out that the details that they don't tell you
in these articles that you read online or in the news there's always some missing information or
some hidden information that will then finally reveal the true information and so when i started
digging into this topic i want to know who's funding it okay i want to know if there's any bias
i want to know the type of studies that they do this is what i found most of the research i mean
if not almost all the research is observational studies this has to do with questionnaires and
you're relying on the person's memory to remember what they ate it's not very credible it's kind of
a good guess and you could make these studies look any way that you want them i mean there's
so many variables involved and so you do this huge questionnaire with a lot of people over five years
and then you come up with this conclusion and so out of all the studies the observational studies
are the lowest credibility on the totem pole there is absolutely no randomized
controlled trials examining eating beef in disease and i'm talking about processed beef
and definitely grass-fed beef it's almost impossible to do because there's so many variables
and you'd have to do it for such a long time and who's going to pay for that research and
i also found some interesting information on the a real credible or so-called credible physician
who's defending the current guidelines and is really attacking the conclusion of the five
meta-analysis dr david katz he's about promoting the global expert consensus so you need to follow
what everyone agrees on as being the truth in health and of course i found that he's
not very keto friendly okay he doesn't like the ketogenic diet he considers it is a fad
and also i found that he's one of the annual um judges for the yearly ranking of diets
by the u.s news and world report which is basically a news site camouflage is a very
credible source of diet information he's also the president of true health initiative which is more
plant-based which we know doesn't necessarily have to do with plants it could be grains right
and i also found out that the company hershey's as in hershey's chocolate uh paid him 331 thousand
dollars for some research i also found quaker oats paid him 633 000 for some research big sugar
hired him as an expert witness and of course he ends up saying things like quitting sugar
is not the answer and so the question is is this credible right and so it's really important when
you actually hear some of these claims you have to look at both sides find out if there's any vested
interest find out the quality of the studies and just so you know there probably is not going to
be in the future any randomized controlled trial examining any diet in relationship to disease it's
too difficult to do especially if you do it long term there's too many areas for variables each
individual person comes with their own weaknesses and their strengths so it's a very difficult area
to do research in and this is one of the times where i think it's going to be very important
for you just to test it out yourself and see how you feel how your health benefits how your energy
goes up or goes down so then you personally will have the first hand knowledge of seeing
if something works or not and i will say this of healthy keto and intermittent fasting is the way
to go and if you're new to my channel i put a link down below of a new plan that you can do
