Chris A. Knobbe - Omega-6 Apocalypse: From Heart Disease to Cancer and Macular Degeneration - AHS19

Published 2019-10-12
Over the past two hundred years, we’ve witnessed the evolution of pandemics of chronic degenerative, metabolic, and noncommunicable disease (NCD). Ample evidence supports the conclusion that coronary heart disease, cancers, type 2 diabetes, obesity, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and metabolic syndrome, among other chronic diseases, have risen from
medical rarities to the most common causes of chronic disease and causes of death. Whereas the top three causes of death in the year 1900 were all infectious, by year 2000, seven of the top ten causes of death were secondary to chronic NCD. During the same time frame, we’ve witnessed industrially produced seed oils, rich in omega-6 fatty acids, elevate to occupy up to a
third of human consumption, or more. Such oils rarely existed anywhere prior to the American Civil War, globally. Virtually all chronic degenerative diseases of civilization have in common one primary metabolic defect, namely, mitochondrial dysfunction. Could omega-6 rich seed oils, consumed to excess, be the common precipitating factor through multiple mechanisms, including prooxidative and proinflammatory pathways, cytotoxicity, mutagenicity, and genotoxicity? The evidence is compelling.

If anything on YouTube deserves to be the most viewed, it's this!

This is sensational!!!! This can save millions of lives.
-
Difficult to avoid. It's safe to assume all restaurant food is cooked in the cheapest Vegetable Oils. If you eat out regularly, like lunch at work etc, you are getting daily doses of these poisons.

This is one of the best presentations I've ever seen
-
Thanks for motivating me even more to a healthier diet. It is almost criminal that the processed food industry continues to offer such unhealthy foods.
-
Man, if you want a dose of hard core science about modern diets, this is it. Fantastic lecture. Thank you. Just say no to PUFA.

This video should be titled << Mitochondrial Dysfonction : How the pharmaceutical industry profits from malnutrition >>

I really appreciated this video. In 1980s my husband had cancer, and we sought to find healthier eating habits. We switched to extra virgin olive oil, already used only butter, and did not tend to eat packaged snacks. We did eat quite a bit of high quality beef, and began to increase our fish intake. I threw out the Crisco, and we had far less pie crust, but some. The cancer recurred, and he died in 2007, so I believe our dietary changes helped him to overcome cancer for 22 years. A friend of his had a heart stint, was a hearty healthy person for the main, but his doctor insisted that he switch to margarine, though his wife felt it was a big mistake. He continued with problems, died some years later. I now take no prescriptions, no pain pills, and with sleep and supplements believe I have overcome fibromyalgia, widespread pain, severe headaches (no doubt migraine but no migraine med worked), sore joints etc. I have visual aura without pain -- if I eat MSG, soy (that is now in all processed it seems), or if I eat nitrates, high tyrosine foods (includes certain items, aged cheeses, fermented foods, overripe fruits, food stored too long, also caffeine if overmuch -- eating smaller amounts of these usually is okay, some I must avoid). I was past 80 when the aura without headache first occurred, my ophthalmologist worked me in next morning, and it turned out he had recently suffered from the same visual sparkling stars and traced it to apple cider.

Referring to the chart at minute 9: The fatty acid distribution in lard is strongly influenced by the fatty acid distribution in the feed provided to the pig. In modern pigs, the main sources are soybean oil and cottonseed oil.

This information is the answer I have searched for since 1996 when I started to ask my doctor about ATP. Thank You!

This fits so incredibly well with Thomas Seyfrieds work, and I am convinced that man deserves a nobel prize. Well done and well researched.
-
Dr. K gets to the point quickly and forcefully, no ums and ahs - info crucial to those wanting to eat healthy. BEST health video I've ever seen!

So the question becomes: After changing over to animal-based fats, and removing all veggie oils as stringently as possible; with at least 30+ pounds of high omega 6 adipose fat on your body: how long will it take to get rid of most of this dangerous fat???? That is the big question for those of us already having serious metabolic problems.

Live according to gov’t recommendations. Listen to what they say and do the EXACT OPPOSITE and live long.

Thank you so very much. One of the VERY best vids on YouTube

Dr. Knobbe has done more to advance my understanding of nutrition, and of preventing chronic disease therewith, than anyone else. I went LCHF/IF in mid 2019 and got great results on weight, energy level and biomarkers, but after a drop in income, I tried to save $$ by eating a lot of cheap fatty pork and chicken, whose high linoleic acid content probably bioaccumulated over the following year. Weight maintenance started to crumble and ultimately I regained most of the 30# I had lost off my 2018 peak, despite still mostly sticking to a narrow eating window and a decent food selection. Now that I've been strongly avoiding PUFA for almost a year and emphasizing SFA, I'm starting to see the needle move back in the right direction. The key was recognizing that the omega-6 is hidden in so many foods, and even in the fat of monogastric animals fed corn and soy. No mas.
