Nina Teicholz - Red Meat and Health

I used to be 7th Day Adventist for +25 years and I followed the vegetarian doctrine only eating vegetables and grains, no animal products other than eggs and dairy products, my four children growed up with this diet, I ended up being a fat and sick person, I quited the religion and found and follow the paleo diet, I adopted this diet and in three months I went to my 20's waigth and the inflamation disapeared and obtained incedible health, buy now I couldn't re-educated my children, this is now my biggest trouble I need to resolve

Meat is the best thing for the mind and body. I never felt better since I starting carnivore diet.

If McDonald's went back to using beef tallow instead of vegetable oils it would have a positive effect on obesity in America. Replacing all veg oils and high fructose corn syrup would be one of the best things to happen to the American diet.

I feel better since I increased red meat, love lamb and beef and have it every day. Also, butter, eggs, full fat dairy and seafood. I blatantly ignore government guidelines, WHO, heart and diabetes associations and my health is good, I do not have chronic conditions, I am a healthy body weight and no medications.

It's a simple fact:- anyone who thinks animal husbandry/livestock-raising is bad for the land, and monocrop-agriculture good, has never been a farmer! At least in Australia, and any country with a similar climate and similarly poor topsoils, will know that after you pasture a herd in a field, another can generally be pastured on the same field immediately (assuming you're not over-stocking). This is simply not so with crops. One must leave one's fields fallow for several seasons between crops; and the fastest way to replenish the field is to pasture a herd on it. There is simply no comparison to what a herd of ruminants will bring to a field. Indeed, they can turn a dead claypan with no remaining topsoil, into a lush pasture in a few short years, even just with intermittent grazing (and no cropping); and with long-term grazing, they do so even more rapidly. And that's in a climate with less than 15 inches of rainfall a year (where 15" would be a good year!). The most successful farmers in my region are the ones with the largest acreage so that they may leave their crop-fields fallow for four or five years between planting, and who also run sheep, that can replenish the land between crops (wheat is the primary local crop, with some canola as the seasons allow; with sheep the primary livestock, most of which are raised for meat and standard wools, but ultrafine merino are raised locally too, with some cattle). The land must be rested between crops; and unless you pasture a herd on it (sometimes even if you do), it will have to be rested for a long time after a harvesting a crop. There is no grey area on these facts -- even the gentlest methods of crop-agriculture are an environmental disaster! While livestock-raising simply is not. So eat meat or don't - that's up to you and no one else cares - but you cannot deny reality:- if you choose to live on agricultural-crops, fine, but don't fool yourself that your doing so will 'save the planet' because the very opposite is true. Your food-choice creates an environmental disaster in its wake; that of meat-eaters does not. And you need not take my word for it -- just look at everywhere humans have raised cereal crops throughout history -- the dead, dry, so-called 'Fertile' Cresent comes immediately to mind; as does India, as does the Sahara Desert. Compare the vast, deep-soiled prairies of north America (and I think we all know the simply enormous numbers of bison, deer, bear and wolves, and other animals, predators and prey, they historically supported). Or better yet, talk to a farmer.

Brilliant lecture. An eye-opener for me as a medical doctor as it motivates one to pay closer attention to the scientific data behind the current dietary “guidelines”, irrespective of the institutions which endorses them.

Nina is amazing, one of the brightest minds on earth!

Trust me, red meat is not healthy. I looked at steak prices at the grocery store today and I almost had a heart attack.

I have started some kind of Keto diet. And what I realized is that I could sleep better now.

This woman is incredible

Nina is a gem of gems!

"Meat causes death when a vegan comes along and stabs you in the chest" ..... biggest laugh I have had in a while. Thank you, Ms. Teicholz!

I like this lady She does good work. Very thorough and well researched

Since animals are much more capable of properly digesting vegetables, feed all of them to the animals, they get a better diet than the all grain diet, and we get a healthier cow and better meat.

If anyone worries about the production of red meat causing damage to the planet, I recommend they listen to Allen Savory and Joel Salatin, two world-renowned leaders in the revolution against what America knows as traditional beef farming. They have taken land nearly turned to desert by wrong farming practices, and turned those areas lush and green. How? By introducing herbivores, and managing them correctly. Within only a few years, this kind of farming can produce far more food, from marginal land, than conventional farming can from prime land. And all this, while healing the planet. Just do a YouTube search for each of those names, and take time to listen. It will completely change your perspective on farming.

I really loved your book and how you go about your business. Keep looking for and talking about the need for evidence.

Many man in my church and women too are overweight, some are obese. As a rule eating animal products is not recommended, instead we eat lots of soy products almost daily and mock meat. We also have many incidents of diabetes and low energy people. After this conference I'm beginning to connect some dots.😪😪😪

I love the research done by journalists...they seem to be the only ones putting truth out there, any longer...thank you so much for your courageous research...I love you...thank you

I love Nina.Love listening to her too.She's a brave woman ,who has become a great advocate and speaker for healthy eating.

I had the thought that epidemiological studies should only be used as hypothesis generators; ten mins before she said it herself... I'm sold. Lol VERY solid information here! 👍 Docs should pay attention.
