Thank you so very much! 🤩 In Sweden in the 1970s, we had a recommendation from the government about eating 6-8 slices of bread per day. Now I know where this came from. I've linked to this video on a Swedish Facebook channel dedicated to stopping false recommendations from our government, it'll sure give us more fuel. I've been on an LCHF diet for 10+ years now, and I feel like 40 again, rather than my 75.

"When we mix science with politics, we get politics not science"- brilliant quote!

The food pyramid should be considered a crime against humanity

I was born in 1965. My older siblings pre 1957. My darling mother fervently adopted the healthy heart guidelines of the 70’s, and I received the products of her “heartfelt healthy endeavours”, since then, I have battled with my weight for 50 odd years, since I was 7. My older siblings not so much, I believe because they probably had more saturated fat in their diet. Sadly I also went on to become a coronary care nurse and in that role further purported the so called healthy NZ heart foundation food pyramid. It totally sickens me to think what I told people post heart attack in the 1990’s. 18 months ago I adopted a low carb higher protein lifestyle and hey presto my weight came down. However year of restrictions and dieting have left their mark both physically and mentally. It’s not something you just shut off after 50 years, sugar addiction is real and the offending food is everywhere. Thank you Dr Paul Mason, presentations like this reinforce to me that I’m on the right track now, so informative and enlightening, the history of these lies must be shared everywhere.

I get sick just thinking of all the years that I fed my family according to the vile guidelines thrust upon us by our corrupt government.

Dr. Paul Mason is a gift to this world
-
I ate this way for six decades. I’m lucky to be alive. Never too old to learn and change. Added: which I did and feel and look good.
-
Fantastic lecture as always! Really unfortunate that this isn't common knowledge. We will just have to try and make it so.

I keep thinking about how many of the 4-11 year old children in today’s schools are being managed due to behavioral issues that could well be related to red meat deficiency…

Dr. Paul Mason is the gold standard of doctors and scientists.

Thank you Dr Mason. Changing my diet saved me from debilitating back pain, nerve pain, joint pain, muscle pain, digestive issues, raised blood pressure, 20kg over weight. It took around 8 months for all these problems to resolve. Since 2020 I've been completely pain free and never felt and looked healthier. I'm only eating fatty meats, seafood, eggs and dairy. Prior to that I was eating the mainstream version of a healthy diet (lots of veggies, fruit, whole grains, low fat, eating the rainbow etc) for decades and watching my health slowly decline.
-
As an Aussie GP, i find it sad and angering that Dr Mason's thinking is not mainstream.
-
I always watch anything from Doctor Mason. Very informative and delivered in an entertaining way. Brilliant.

I was diagnosed Pre-diabetic and suffered a Heart attack six months later at 62. Having tried for 15 months to reduce my HbA1c, the only way I beat diabetes was to go on the Carnivore diet. I loved it! For years I was told to eat cereals, fruit and veg and eat less meat, especially the fat on any meat. Only to find that If I had eaten what my body was telling me to eat, I would have been far more healthy!
-
Excellent look at this troubling history of the dietary guidelines we've been told to follow for decades.
-
I've had a drive since I was very young to eat a lot of meat - to the point it became a bit of a joke in the family. I think the bigger joke is how the food pyramid resulted in white bread, margarine and cereals becoming staples in the home. It's sad. High five to all the diet rebels out there!

Thank you Paul, keep up the work. You're looking better and better.
-
Just do the opposite of what "government" regulators and health authorities advice the public and you won't go far wrong.
-
Thankyou Paul, this shows to me the benefits of, among other things, the importance ,of freedom of speech,Goodonya

"When you mix science and politics, you get politics." This describes so many things!
