    I'm glad you are posting all these videos Paul...I'm learning a lot, thank you.
  • @Grotz1411
    I recorded the part that talks about the number of extra days I will live by taking statins and I will be showing it to my doctor for comment....Great job also on the vegetable oils...learning so much from you and all of the speakers and want to say thank you.
  • I'm only five feet tall and weigh about 100 pounds, but you should see me put away a fatty steak or a huge burger (no bun). Meat is our friend. 🥩🥩🥩

    Thank you for helping people to be healthy Dr paul mason we appreciate what you do trying to put people on the right path for better life and we need to forget the old thoughts about healthy food and what is bad or good to avoid diseases.
  • My Total cholesterol is 325 (8.3). My LDL is 260. This happened after 6 months of keto. My doctor shouted STATINS and I said I want A CAC scan. Result is ZERO! My arteries are clean. 40 yr male. Weight went from 100kg to 79kg on keto. Liver function GGT 120 -> 22! ALT 120 -> 18. HDL and Trigs vastly improved. Everything went in the "right" direction except LDL. I told my GP I will not be taking statins. Keto saved me

    One of my top favorites, such a great summary: of good fats and what to avoid, real cause of arteriosclerosis,. Also how harmful glucose fructose can be.
  • I've lost over a stone in weight and have lovely healthy glowing skin after switching from poisonous vegetable oils to good old fashioned lard, dripping, olive oil and ghee. I was so terribly illfor years, seeking medical advice & surgery for gall stones, bloating, sickness, crippling stomach pains and dry itchy skin etc before realising the cause was veg oils. I've not cut back on the amount of food I eat I just watch what's in the food I eat.

    When insulin is low in our blood stream, we consume our own fat (saturated fat). Consuming dietary saturated fat is probably fine;)

    Most health or food health related problems can be solved with intermittent fasting. When we don't eat for awhile the body self regulates what we need. The empty stomach returns to a proper PH and a balanced state of digestive enzymes. Without the sugar and caffeine "additives" the brain is able to regulate neural activity. All good health regimens need to include fasting. At least once a week I don't eat anything or drink anything but water for at least 20 hours. It works extremely well for managing imbalances like cholesterol. Only when we are hungry does the body produce the HDL cholesterol molecule which combines with the LDL to make the complete cholesterol molecule which can then carry nutrients to the body and ultimately be eliminated from the body lowering the total LDL. Rather than adding pills or miracle foods or ancient magic curatives try doing some addition by subtraction. Give your body and your stomach a break from pouring and stuffing things down your throat once in a while.

    11:00 the graph (trend) shows that B-type of LDL showed higher remaining survival (name of Y-axis), that is A-type provides less survival and more mortality... But it contradicts with/to what you were saying there...
  • @NuLiForm
    Excellent presentation! Thank You
  • @1FoundSheep
    Thank you Dr. Mason for your wonderful talks. Very insightful and helpful in cutting through all of the nutritional madness that has been foisted upon an unsuspecting public to our detriment. I just subscribed to your channel after hearing a presentation you gave at a Carnivore conference on things that lead to damage of the tight junctions lining our intestines. It was profoundly disturbing to say the least! The plethora and scope of miserable health conditions that damage from these additives to our modern food chain cause I find to be intolerable. It makes one wonder how this has been allowed to occur? Money? Convenience? Or???? There is probably not one answer. I think there is one answer though. We can remove them from our personal diets and cease to be someone's profit margin, or Guinea pig, or patient for the latest pharmaceutical. Thank you so much for continuing to shine a light on different ways we are being negatively impacted by suspect additives, foods, and indeed dietary ways that are akin to malfeasance.
  • An amazing class Thanking you for every word is not enough, Thanks Paul Mason, Keep up the excellent work, You and your team are changing the chaotic disease landscape around the world
  • I just downloaded a thing from the Garvan Institute on Healthy Ageing for the elderly. I stopped reading after they started promoting more grains and low fat.
  • Yep being lied to for generations since Crisco has been on the market for 97 years!
  • Excellent video ! I’ve done the test where I eat some non hydrogenated canola oil margarine, and some coconut milk curry and some beans and quinoa…..well, I felt the next evening extremely tired and lethargic. That was a good little two day test because it tells me that my 90% carnivore diet and 10% veggies diet works. It’s really a great diet for type 2 diabetes.

    Dietary science is so strange. I’m 34 with a family history of heart attacks. (Also a family history of bad eaters, lol.) I went to the doc and my “bad” cholesterol was high. I took 2k fish oil daily and cut out dairy for 6 months, and I dropped my “bad” cholesterol almost 100 points while slightly bringing up my “good” cholesterol. My doc says my numbers are perfect. I’ve stayed on this new diet, because I do feel better without eating so much cheese. Now when I eat cheese, I really feel it. My hands get prickly and warm. I mainly eat chicken, veggies, some salad dressings, and a moderate amount of whole grains. I drink only water and coffee with a little cream. By all “normal” standards I’m doing everything right, but some of these studies have me wondering lol.
  • @Gaardofit
    Very interesting and different points made
