    Lots of respect to Dr Paul Mason and many others especially for going against the...grain.
  • It even goes back further than the 1970's. In the 1940's the Procter and Gamble company donated millions to the American heart association to say animal fats were bad and that people should start frying in their Crisco trans fats. The women at the time were frying in what we now know was healthy fats such as pig lard and butter, and were resistant to buy the Crisco shortening. Big food also discovered that the partially hydrogenated oil was a preservative, and started putting it in food to make their shelf life longer. Before partially hydrogenated oil was invented in 1911, women cooked with animal fats and heart disease didn't exist. When they invented partially hydrogenated oil, they invented heart disease.

    How can this video have so few views. It should be viral and in the millions. Doctors that I've seen have hardly had a clue about the actual details behind cholesterol and the statins they want to prescribe, yet the truths are clearly detailed here. This has really helped me connect the dots after years of trying to figure it out!

    This is the first time I have ever heard anyone actually explain how and why atherosclerosis happens. Thank you for a wonderful and clear presentation.
  • The process of introducing saturated fat into one's diet, is one of cognitive dissonance. One is forced to critically question previous information once thought to be true and better for your health. I am grateful for the information presented in these Low Carb Down Under lectures.
  • I have eaten 5 or more large egg yolks, one small can of sardines and low carb every day for 5 years. Now, I am 66 years old, with low but normal blood pressure, and with healthy weight.

    Outstanding presentation. I'll be watching that a few times until it really sinks in. The most important message for me was that high LDL is only dangerous in the presence of high insulin (insulin resistance). When insulin is high, Apo B100 on the surface of LDL is glycosylated and no longer recognized by the liver for clearance from the bloodstream. When insulin is low, Apo B100 remains unglycosylated and the LDL where it resides is cleared from the bloodstream by the liver. That's a really important concept to get your arms around. If the liver can't clear the LDL from the bloodstream, it gets entangled with macrophages in blood vessel walls and begins to cause arteriosclerosis.

    We're no longer on blood thinner and statins for almost 2 years. We ditched the table salt and Canola and switched to Himalayan salt and virgin coconut oil. Supplemented with magnesium glycinate, Omega 3 fish oil, Vit. C, and avoiding processed food. We avoid eating out as much as we can as well.

    The truest thing that my mother ever said was I have purchased almost every low-fat item available and I have never been fatter in my life.
  • @billytheweasel
    Can the people responsible for the upside-down food guidelines be punished for the massive suffering and death they've profited from?
  • @barry_g8443
    Even Aussie doctors are some of the most down to earth people on the planet. Thank Goodness for these revealers of the Truth.
  • This is something I have been wrapping my head around recently, given my very shocking lab results, that I am realizing shouldn't have been that shocking after all. This goes against everything I have been practicing for the last 11 years, and yet it makes a lot of sense....and I'm feeling so much better already. I thought I was so healthy......

    i live in romania, we have a huge heart problem ight now. my father is 55 and more that half of his school classmated died of heart disease. I was talking one day with my very old grandma and i asked her if she remembers when she was young people diyng of heart disease and to my surprise she told me she did't even heard about it at the time. Now consider this, where i live is northern romania we had long and cold winters and in my grandma time the way to store food was in fat in salt or to pickle it or dairy (cheese). so they are a huge ammount of fats even lots of saturated ones. now that people consume lots of refined sugars and oils we have a huge problem. My dad had a collesterol problem when i was younger, i don' eat processed food and we have land so we decided to keep sheep and that became ou main protein source, sheep meat is very very fat and my dad now somehow eating fat sheep meat has colesterol at good levels.

  • @DavidInSydney1
    I’m learning so much from watching Dr Mason’s clear and well researched lectures. They are a revelation. Thank you!
  • I'm 64 and carnivore. I look for the fattiest meat and adore duck. I'm quite thin and have never been healthier. Fat is my friend. 🥩
  • @DraconaiMac
    Thank you so much Dr Mason. These videos are SO helpful.
  • @bobmonk388
    Great work Doc. My mother gained a little weight so set course for a low fat diet things like light yogurt no fat full of sugar a prime example why her health was ravaged, she gained more weight had thyroid issues and joint pain who do i sue for telling her this diet would help her be healthy. She still resists fat even thought i helped her eat real foods and sneak olive oil ,butter and coconut oil into everything i cook for her and since the change her health has improved ten fold.
