hello friends and patients this is
doctor Barry back again to talk to you
about something that I was seeing
patients this morning and a little old
lady who's been a patient of mine for
almost a decade she had been out to see
the heart doctor and he had checked some
lab work and he had diagnosed her with
high triglycerides and so I was
interested to find out what he had told
her and he said well your triglycerides
are high so you need to cut down your
saturated fat and eat more whole grains
and that was his advice and he also
started on a pill of course and so she
came back to me today for follow-up and
she said that doesn't really sound like
what you've told me in the past let's
talk about this so we're going to talk
about today how to actually lower your
triglycerides without taking a pill and
also what you can do to actually lower
it because what he told her is probably
going to raise her triglycerides and it
will not prevent her from having a heart
attack or a stroke basically he did her
a double disservice by giving her wrong
information and then giving her a pill
that she doesn't need now what I'm going
to be telling you today is based on a
very very good study that was published
way back in 2012 and so I want you guys
to I'm gonna I'll post a link to this
study below and to all the other studies
that that study talked about and I want
you guys to look this up I want you to
verify what I say I want you to doubt me
I want you to look it up I want you to
google it okay now if you know someone
who is on a medicine for their
cholesterol or triglycerides please
share this with them tag them in this if
you have a doctor who told you to eat
less saturated fat to lower your
triglycerides and I want you to tag that
doctor in this video and maybe he'll
learn something okay so obviously
patients don't know how to lower their
triglycerides because they're not
doctors but you would expect a doctor
you go to especially a cardiologist to
know how to lower someone's
triglycerides in the fact that this guy
who even though he's a preeminent
cardiologist at one of the big
hospitals in our area obviously had no
idea how to help this lady lower her
triglycerides and decrease her risk of
heart attack and stroke so we're gonna
go over this study first of all this
study was published in the American
Journal of Clinical Nutrition that's a
very reputable Journal this study was
done on human beings not rats or rabbits
or anybody else but on actual humans and
so what this study did is they took 16
human beings who were overweight and 16
is a low number that's right before the
critics start to jump about that but
this study is so well done and so
common-sense that really you could have
done this study with five patients or
ten patients and the results are
statistically significant and you'll see
why in just a moment so they took 16
overweight people and they said hey we
want you to keep eating the same diet
you're eating now and we're going to add
a thousand calories a day but they're
gonna be sugar and starch calories
simple sugars okay they're gonna be
sucrose they're going to be fructose and
we're gonna just see what happens over
that three-week period so they took
these 16 folks and said keep eating what
you normally eat and we're gonna add a
thousand calories of simple
carbohydrates to your diets and so they
gave them coke or soda and here in the
south we call that coke no it doesn't
matter if it's Dr Pepper or sprite Pepsi
it's coke okay
so if you come to Nashville and order a
coke they're gonna say which kind do you
want and that means you might want Pepsi
or Mountain Dew or something else but so
they gave them a couple of sodas a day
they gave them fruit juice wait a minute
I thought fruit juice was supposed to be
really healthy well turns out no no
fruit juice will elevate your
triglycerides as you'll see in a moment
they gave them some little candies like
gummy bears and they gave them some
simple starches to eat okay but it
totaled a thousand extra calories a day
and they did this for three weeks with
these people and they followed them very
closely just to make sure that they
actually followed the diet and the
office all 16 did after three weeks
three weeks not three months or three
years three weeks
these people had increased their body
weight by 2% so for the average woman
that's three pounds they've gained in
three weeks okay they were checking
their triglycerides and then they also
check the fat in their liver you guys
may have heard about fatty liver disease
that's a big deal it's becoming an
epidemic in America and most doctors and
specialists just don't know why it's
happening
they just know you need to go see the
liver specialist okay
well I'm gonna tell you today why that's
actually happening and what you can do
to prevent it so in three weeks time
these folks had increased the fat in
their liver by 27 percent now that's
that's a big damn deal
in three weeks time they increase their
liver fat by three percent about 27
percent so if anybody out there has
fatty liver disease has non-alcoholic
steatohepatitis or non-alcoholic fatty
liver disease if you want to cure your
liver disease your fatty liver disease
now if you've got hepatitis this is not
going to cure it but it will make it
healthier but all you have to do is do
the exact opposite of what these people
in this study did okay so they gave them
1,000 extra calories of simple sugars
and starches sucrose and fructose and
these guys increased their liver fat by
27 percent in three weeks now at the end
of the three weeks they checked a bunch
of their labs they measured them they
weighed them and they published their
results and then for the next three
months they said hey we're going to just
not give you that extra thousand
calories a day of sugars and I want you
just go back to eating your regular diet
and actually we want you to tighten up a
little bit and try to lose a few pounds
and so for the next three months these
people did not eat the simple sugars and
starches and sucrose and fructose and
they went back to their regular diet but
tried to do a little better than they
normally do which probably means they
ate even less sugar than they normally
would their livers went back to normal
so that's a big deal
sorry I got a call there do not disturb
I know I forgot
their body weight actually went back to
normal and went a little lower than it
was before okay so that's a huge deal
these people prove beyond doubt that if
you want to have a fatty liver and if
you want to gain weight and if you want
your triglycerides to go up eat more
sugar drink more fruit juice drink more
coke eat more candy that will definitely
do it okay and also increase your blood
sugar and your diabetes risk if you want
to get rid of the fat in your liver if
you want to lose weight if you want to
lower your triglycerides then you will
eat less sugar you will eat less simple
starches you'll drink less fruit juice
you'll drink less soda that's it that's
it that the the mystery of fatty liver
disease has been solved it was solved
way back in 2012 by these researchers
they found the answer why haven't we all
heard about this why hasn't this been on
the news well because it doesn't say
anything bad about fat or fatty acids or
saturated fat it doesn't say anything
bad about fat therefore doesn't hold up
the party line therefore none of the
researchers and experts who go on the
news want to talk about okay so if you
want to have a fatty liver you don't eat
bacon that's not how you get it you
don't eat egg yolks that's not how you
get it you drink fruit juice and you
drink coke and you eat candy and you eat
simple starches okay and the simple
starch is the list or breads crackers
potatoes rice pasta those are simple
starches they break down immediately to
sugar in your system so if you have
fatty liver if you have high
triglycerides if you have if you're if
you're overweight and you want to fix
any of those problems the solution to
all of them is the same stop drinking
fruit juices straw stop drinking sugar
sugary drinks and here in the South we
have something called sweet tea the rest
of the country and the rest of the world
may not know what that is but it's tea
that has as much sugar as you can
possibly dissolve in tea dissolved in
the tea and then you heat the
and you dissolve even more sugar in it
probably if you stuck a stick in there
it would make it would make a
crystallized form of sugar like rock
candy or something but that's sweet tea
here in the southern United States but
those are the things that cause high
triglycerides not fat not bacon not egg
yolks not butter none of those will
cause fatty liver
if these guys really wanted to cause
elevated triglycerides and really wanted
to cause elevated fat in the liver and
elevator and make the patient's gain
weight they should have given them
butter in bacon and egg yolks right
because that's what causes all that no
no no that does not cause that at all
these are smart PhD level researchers
they know that if you want to elevate
somebody's triglycerides you give them
sugar sucrose fructose fruit juice
simple starches that's how you cause
fatty liver so if you know someone who
is suffering from fatty liver which can
lead to liver failure there are people
on the liver transplant list right now
because no doctor said hey patient
stopped drinking the pineapple juice
stopped drinking the apple juice that's
what's causing it there are people on
the transplant list right now waiting
for a liver because their liver has
completely failed because no one gave
them this advice okay and that makes me
a little upset yeah I don't know if you
can tell or not but this gets me a
little triggered that doctors everyday
talk to their patients and they never
tell them hey your triglycerides are
high you know what you should do you
should stop drinking sugar calories
fructose sucrose you should stop B be
eating simple starches that'll fix that
and then in the process you'll also lose
weight you will not become a diabetic
wow that was easy right
so what else I want you to ask me
questions because I know you're like
wait a minute I thought I thought bacon
cause my fatty liver I thought they can
make me gain weight I thought butter
made my triglycerides go up I'm confused
so as always I will answer every
question that you ask comment and ask a
question tag a friend who needs to hear
this tag a doctor who needs to hear this
because there are some doctors out there
who need to hear this I'll be I will
post a link to the study and then also
I'll give you the works cited of this
study for all the studies that they
looked at in order to design this
research bacon butter and egg yolks do
not cause elevated triglycerides okay
they do not cause fatty liver disease
they do not make you gain weight now you
know if you if you want to lose weight
if you want to lower your triglycerides
if you want to get rid of the fat in
your liver
stop drinking fruit juices stop drinking
coke and in the South sweetie stop
eating candy and desserts
stop eating simple starches like the
breads the potatoes the rice the pasta
that's how you fix this okay and if you
lose weight in the process there's no
extra charge for that okay
I'm dr. ken berry and I'll answer any
question you have just give me a shout
