What do current studies tell us about the risk of heart disease and cancer on an animal-based diet? In this episode Zane debunks the common school of thought around modern lifestyle diseases.

 

QUICK NOTES FROM ZANE:

  • A High protein diet reduces liver fat
  • Recent studies don't support the recommendation to reduce saturated fat in the diet
  • A low carb diet led to better weight loss and blood sugar control than exercise
  • A healthy low carb diet with increased saturated fat decreased triglycerides and increased HDL
  • Total cholesterol range with lowest risk of mortality is 210-249 mg/dl
  • A high saturated fat, no starch diet led to weight loss with no effect on lipid levels in patients with heart disease
  • Saturated fats do not impair vascular function or arterial stiffness when replacing MUFA or carbohydrates
  • Evidence from RCT's does not support the current dietary fat guidelines
  • Red meat does not cause cancer in Asians... or anyone else
  • Studies show consumption of red meat does not cause health risk and may be health protective
  • Omega-6 polyunsaturated fat linoleic acid promotes oxidative stress, oxidized LDL, chronic low-grade inflammation and atherosclerosis
  • Increase in post meal LDL, triglycerides and apo B particles with fructose more than just glucose
  • The organizations who determine our nutrition guidelines are funded by the largest processed food corporations.

QUICK EPISODE SUMMARY

  • Let’s talk about animal-based diet - what do studies say?
  • Debunking saturated fat and its relation to related to cardiovascular disease or diabetes
  • Total cholesterol in relation to mortality
  • What the test doesn’t   
  • The correlation (or lack there of) of red meat and cancer
  • Processed and reformed meat
  • So, what’s causing the heart diseases?
  • The ones making the rules
