you hey there it's dr. Justin market Johnny and today's talks and Abbey on comparing a plant-based diet to a paleo diet so first off I have a bias towards a a paleo template if you will I'm not a fan of using the word diet because diet kind of insinuates lack of flexibility right you're either low-carb you're high carb you're this or that we're a template a paleo template really is referring to nutrient quality right no toxins organic ideally local right eating foods that our genetics have had time to adapt to that's kind of like the paleo template in my mind or in my model that I use with my patients in my practice but again we can adjust carbohydrates up down low high and we have flexibility when we're using a paleo template so we're going to compare this Paleo diet slash template to a plant-based diet slash template now before we get started one thing that's kind of on my mind is there's a massive bias towards vegetables and a anti has essentially a bias against anything that's meat or animal based you see it at Whole Foods with the D&E which is the nutrient density scale is the aggregate nutrient density index created by joel Fuhrman and Jill Furman's a vegetarian you always look a guy but if you look at his index that he created Christopher Master John did an excellent summary of what the index includes and what it excludes but you can see what it excludes is how the B vitamins vitamin A fat soluble nutrients de K EPA DHA all of these vital super important nutrients and then what it includes are carotenoids or AK levels and or X kind of one of these things we know it has antioxidant capacity but we're not quite sure what that means glucosinolates and even fiber so you can see it excludes so much more than it includes and in my opinion the the vitamins are in the essential fatty acids are far more important than everything else that he includes so there's a massive bias off the bat to the average public because if I put down some kale in front of a person that said hey what's better this kale or I plot down some the average person would look at the kale and be like of course the kale they look at the liver and say what the heck's that that's in a clog your heart but the truth of the matter is if we compare and liver to any nutrient out there right we just use the USDA nutrient index you're gonna see liver crushes almost every single vegetable or fruit in every single area down the list from calcium to various minerals to copper or vitamin C b12 it kicks it off the bot off the bat there and then all the fat soluble nutrients ad e and k so liver is incredibly nutrient dense but again there's a massive bias to the public and if you just gave them that option they would think wow this kale is the superfood but really liver is the superfood so let's go down the list here like I mentioned there's lots of great Studies on this stuff i'll put a couple in the show notes so you can see it and look at it for yourself when we compare to a plant-based diet to a paleo diet or a paleo template as I like to call it we're gonna have far better essential fatty acids in a paleo diet we're gonna be getting DHA fats and EPA fats which is gonna be really important to reducing inflammation and for brain health and you can see the essential fats are going to get with plant-based are primarily gonna be flax and if you watch my video on fish oil you're gonna see that you have to convert flax downstream from alpha-linolenic acid we use this Delta six to saturates enzyme to help actually add carbons on to that 18 carbon fat and if we have insulin resistance or inflammation we only can convert 20% of it at best so off the bat we're gonna be given the Paleo template or diet the benefit there now plant-based inflammation well when it comes to this if we're eating paleo foods right if we're eating cutting out grains cutting out the blooms cutting off the extra sugar and we're eating let's say grass-fed meat extra fish is right all these EPA fats we're going to be reducing inflammation significantly significantly now at the same standpoint if you're eating a plant-based diet but you're also cutting out the grains eating coconut oil eating avocado maybe having some flax maybe having some olive oil maybe even doing some DHA algae you know you could potentially reduce inflammation and you may not be adding a whole bunch inflammation but if you're doing this wrong if you're eating a whole bunch of let's say refine vegetable oils like soybean safflower canola you know these are the vegetable oils that refine they're much higher in omega-6 fatty acids so if you're a real healthy vegetarian you may be okay in the inflammation category but I see too many people to come in my practice they're consuming refined vegetable oils that aren't designed to be eaten in that higher quantity and it's driving up the omega-6 arachidonic acid prostaglandin two pathways again watch my video on fish oils and inflammation for more on that so I have to give the Paleo diet a win on that one as well and if we look at vitamins and minerals while I've already talked about the whole Andy the aggregate nutrient density index is massively skewed towards the antioxidants the glucosinolates the fiber and the carotenoids where it does not look at the vitamins and minerals now again you're gonna get really good vitamins and minerals here if you are consuming low glycemic and non starchy vegetables so like if you're doing kale spinach your berries you're gonna get really good vitamin and mineral content there okay you're gonna do really well on the vitamin and mineral content but if you're a paleo diet and you're consuming a little bit of liver any vegan or vegetarian that's watching this and doesn't believe me I'll put a link below go to the USDA site go to any site that compares the nutrients for liver right you have to do it per weight you can't compare at different weights different different amounts per weight the liver to kale - carrots - whatever I'll put a little scale up here on screen you will see that liver kicks the butt of that so if we're doing plant-based and we're doing paleo right we're gonna be doing some major butt kick and if we're having liver in our diet so I would give that to for the Paleo diet if we're consuming liver a little bit of organ meat in our diet okay and also shellfish is very good - so let's look at carbohydrates my issue with a lot of plant-based people is they tend to have to have to combine carbohydrates from different sources so rice and beans legumes lentils etc to get a complete protein because we're missing maybe methionine or lysine and we're lower on the sulfur amino acids with a plant-based diet we have to combine me they have to get a little bit creative and the problem with that is if you take a look at Diana Schwartzman's book the Schwartz my principal she gives you an analogy of how much carbohydrate you have to combine together to have a complete protein from rice and beans so her analogy was it was somewhere around 70 to 80 grams of carbohydrate have to be combined to get about 15 grams of protein so when you're consuming when you're consuming a plant-based diet you tend to go higher in carbs so if we look at this here we're gonna be high carb here we're gonna be much higher in carbs at a plant-based diet we're here we have the ability to go lower in carbohydrate because when we eat animal products we're primarily getting the proteins and the fats without all the extra carbohydrates now in this standpoint we can go lower carb on plant-based and I do it with a lot of my vegan vegetarian patients by adding in hemp protein adding in the pea protein potentially a rice protein if we're not autoimmune we can even add in freeform amino acids that these are aminos that are already pre broken down from pee or from whey or from beef and they're basically ready for your b ody to absorb so there's no antigenicity there's no allergen potential with those so when we do a plant-based diet it's easier to go high carb so that mate that's actually gonna be a negative for a lot of people because their insulin resistant so this check right here is actually going to be more of a negative than a positive with a paleo approach we do have the ability to go lower carb because our proteins won't come with a whole bunch of carbs but we also have the ability to ramp up the carbs and add in starches as well we don't quite have the ability to do that here on the plant-based side unless we do P protein hemp protein maybe some freeform aminos and maybe rice protein as well those are some really good source they're excluding soy so again I give paleo the win on the carb side of it antioxidants well again you know antioxidants are gonna be vitamin A D and K and if you look at Joel Foreman's Andy scale he conveniently pulled them out of the the aggregate index he just used carotenoids and he used the ORAC scale so the or acts one part of it and you'll get some really good antioxidants from kale and other vegetables that are low in sugar and high nutrition kale spinach asparagus etc but again things like liver things like shellfish I'll put another study in the keywords below here they looked at your nutrient density score and they looked at all of the the various vegetables meats and proteins and they found that shellfish in liver and or organ meats in general were higher than everything else it wasn't even close so the research even shows this it just really hasn't caught up in to the public sphere and hopefully this video will draw some more attention to that and I'll put the references below so again I would say you can get good antioxidant with the plant-based diet but again the information is mostly skewed I still think you can do it even better on a paleo template especially if you're getting fish in there and a little bit of organ meats you're gonna just kick butt with that and then protein like I said we're definitely gonna be able to get better protein on a paleo approach the only way we can do it on a plant-based approach to get enough protein in my opinion is we have to use protein powders because with the powder all the carbohydrate all of the lectins all the other stuff are tossed to the sides so we're just getting the protein so you're gonna do much better on a paleo approach and this isn't factoring in that a lot of people that are plant-based are gonna be consuming lots of grains which are gonna have gut irritants potentially cause leaky gut and have malabsorption components to it like the oxalates and the fight dates which will bind to minerals so the minerals that are in there may even be lower because you're not absorbing them because these phytates and oxalates are pulling them out and lectins if you will so if you're being a good plant person you're a plant based diet person but you're cutting out all of those things that's a good good start that's a really good start in the right direction again legumes and also have some of these lessons that could potentially have some mineral binding capacity so you really want to make sure you cut out all of those gut irritating foods again I work with lots of vegans and vegetarians and when when I convert them over it just start adding in a little bit of protein one of the first things we do is just cut out all of the gut irritating things first and we'll start adding in some freeform amino acids we'll start adding in some protein powders that I mentioned from pea and hemp and potentially rice if they can handle it just to start getting the proteins up and then we cut a lot of the gut you're taking things out and then one of the first things we'll start doing is maybe adding in just a little bit of fatty fish or adding in just a little bit of egg yolk so when you look at their diet they're 80 to 90 percent you know on their so-called plant-strong diet but we got about 10 to 20 percent animal in there and they start feeling better they start really coming along some may get sicker off the back because their HDL levels and or their enzyme levels are so low because their HDL pumps are turned off because they're not used to having that kind of solid protein in there so if they do feel worse off the bat it automatically tells me they're low in hydrochloric acid which again it's not the animal meat that's causing that problem the animals the plant the animal products are just revealing a broken chain in the physiology and we have to get that fixed so again when I convert people over and start them off they're still 80 to 90 percent plant-based you don't have to go a hundred percent all in you can kind of inch your way in and I see my patients strongly benefit from that so again

Paleo Diet vs. Vegan Plant-Based Diet Schedule a FREE Consult: http://www.justinhealth.com/free-consultation In this video, Dr. Justin Marchegiani shows the difference between a paleo diet and a vegan plant-based diet. Most people think a vegan diet may be better than a paleo diet because of its lack of meat, while paleo dieters may believe their diet is more nutrient dense. There seems to be a bias towards vegetables and plant-based foods and a bias against anything that has meat. In this video, Dr. Justin breaks down the pro's and cons of each and reviews what foods according to science are truly the most nutrient dense.

all right peeler hackers I am joined here with Lee our Keith American writer and activist here today to talk about her book the vegetarian Meath the vegetarian myth Lee air thanks for coming on good to have you thanks for having me on yeah I appreciate you taking the time and um the vegetarian myth right off the bat pretty catchy title hit you in the face we don't have to spend too much time here but I know you weren't always the person who could write the vegetarian myth book um can you kind of set up the call for us talk about your journey a little bit to writing that book right so I was a vegan for 20 years so I have been as far into that world as really you can get and in the end the only thing that really pulled me out was that my health collapsed completely and I think for a lot of people that is the only thing that gives them out and because I had that kind of collapse I mean the thing about being a vegan is that it's not just what you eat you know it really becomes who you are so you go for this tremendous just existential crisis really about Who am I and what is the universe and why am I here and what does it mean that everything that I thought was true has led me so far astray that I have now permanently damaged myself and so you're really stuck for a year to with no answers at all about your place in anything so at that point I ended up having to look at a lot of information that I had done my best not to examine over that 20 years because my interest in things like sustainability and planetary justice had never stopped it's just I had stopped engaging with information that was contrary to my vegan ideology sure so all that information was there I just had to finally look at it so that it was it's a long and hard process for a lot of us nobody gives up being a vegan easily and at the end of it I ended up writing that book because well a couple reasons one is I wanted other very idealistic young people to understand that this was not actually going to address the problems they saw with the world and that in fact if they had bigger information they might make a different decision than going vegan and also I wanted to explain to them that they were probably gonna hurt their health and that that it could be permanent if they did it long enough so I kind of wanted to save them from what I had done to myself right but I mean my whole generation tried it I mean everybody I know tried being either a vegetarian or vegan and we all ended up coming out the other end with horror stories about you know what we had done to our bodies and there's no reason for people who are 20 to go through that we've already tried it you know didn't work so all of that was the reason that I wrote the book so I'm curious when you say like your health collapsed what were some of the health complications you noticed right so first off I ended up with really bad blood sugar issues which is very common and I would say I pretty well destroyed my insulin receptors because I did it for so long but you'll you'll find out right away that you know you the human body is really not meant to take that load of sugar every day and you know every time that you eat that kind of high carb low fat diet you're putting incredible stress on your body because it's a biological emergency you know our brains can only survive at a very narrow range of blood sugar so too high or too low and your body has to mobilize some pretty intense chemicals to deal with it and you know that includes starting with insulin but also adrenaline so you're on this constant roller coaster where your blood sugar is either too hot too high or too low so you're constantly having to eat then to get your blood sugar back up well then the whole spike starts all over again and you do wear out everything inside your body when you're doing that on a constant basis which I was so that was the first thing was I started to have these terrible um insulin crashes and I didn't know what that was I just knew that I felt like if I didn't eat I was gonna fall over dad and you know that actually is true it's a biological emergency so that was the first problem but did that feel like brain fog or what was that feeling like I get the brain fog so much but I got that horrible like hangry feeling where I was in a horrible mood angry upset wanted to cry all the time and then if I would eat I would feel better in 20 minutes but of course two hours later I was right back where I started um you know when you get shaky and sweaty and you can't figure out what's wrong you just know that you have to eat I mean your your cravings for food are just insane all the time and that's why it's because you're not keeping that blood sugar stable so problem number one I but that a lot of times we'll go we'll go away if you end up understanding what you've done and you take on some version of a low-carb diet you can at least clear that problem from your plate and my problem was I did it so long that I'm sort of stuck forever eating a very low carbohydrate level because I don't want to become insulin dependent you know as a diabetic so it's I have to be really really careful about that one yeah but the more the longer term damage I did is I ended up with degenerative disc disease in my spine so my spine is basically coming to pieces and these kinds of joint problems are very classic first of all for anybody who eats an agricultural diet so you don't see this in skeletons you know and then the from the Paleolithic Age the moment people take a bagra culture of course they shrink six inches their teeth fall out and you end up with these terrible joint and bone problems all across the archeological records so I mean just to say it very bluntly that I did not have to end up with this disease I mean I did this to myself you know and so I have a lot of physical constraints on my activity level and I will always be in pain the rest of my life I can have as much morphine as I want because it's all they can do for me is painkillers I'm there's there's no surgery that helps this I'm done I did myself an and I've gotten any number of emails from xvii just vegans and vegetarians who did the same thing they read their spines their hips their knees and now they're my age and it's bad you know and what what exactly does that with like the vegan diet or a vegetarian diet is the lack of b12 or I'm not familiar with how that happens so especially for the vegans there's the problem is twofold problem number one is that the only way you can actually absorb minerals out of your digestive tract is if there's fat dietary fat is actually what drives that process and when you're eating vegan or any kind of that you know high carb low fat diet you simply don't have enough fat to observe the minerals so even if you're eating plenty of them there's no way for them to get into your bloodstream so it's problem number one problem number two is the diet itself is actually very low in minerals there are a lot of minerals and plant foods so I mean you know the foods that we know of that are very high in minerals are of course red meat that's where you're going to get them and to go one level further the kinds of traditional food practices that we've all lost track of in the United States so it's things like bone broth which of course traditional people around the world understand as really vital to help when givers are losing yes exactly all that stuff and those are very very dense with minerals so the moment you go vegan all that's just it's not even a concept that you would eat those saying so I'm not getting any minerals I'm not I don't have any way to absorb the what minerals I am getting and then you add another problem which is you know we've all been told to eat put healthy whole grains well the problem with grains is that their seeds and they come armed with ways to keep animals from eating them right this is the plants baby this is the o nly way the species is going to survive and they are preloaded with ways to hurt us if we eat them to make themselves inedible to us so that they can survive right so there's a whole range of things called anti nutrients that are in every single seed you might eat and that of course includes grains there are ways to try to kind of manipulate around seeds so that they become more edible but I didn't know that as a vegan all I knew was you were supposed to eat healthy whole grains and so I ate a ton of brown rice and whole wheat and all that kind of stuff and the problem is that one of the anti nutrients that are in whole grains and beans actually block the absorption of minerals that's one of the ways that seeds fight back well so in eating all those healthy whole grains in fact man I wasn't getting any minerals at all and what few minerals I was getting in my little food stream you know all the minerals were blocked from being absorbed so that's like a one-two-three punch for no minerals and if your joints and bones and this is why so many of us ended up with these really kind of profound joint problems yeah so the demineralization of your body depleted yes minerals and that can really affect your bone bones joints yep and sheath skeletal system teeth I know a lot of ex Egan's who destroyed their teeth you know 18 months into being a vegan their teeth were falling out of their heads never had a cavity now they've got 27 cavities like I'm not exaggerating yeah you can remember as your teeth there's some ways to repair that sometimes it's too late um but in terms of joints you know joints are so poorly vascularized that once you kill them it's pretty much over and is this like your work and more people speaking out about dangers or at least kind of how to prevent the teeth falling out if people are vegetarian or vegan or is it still pretty like shameful to talk about giving up going vegan or vegetarian like you quit the club or or is it becoming more and more common to talk out against it or I dare I can answer that any way you want there are definitely people who've come out the other side who talk about all this very publicly but you have to look for them if you're inside that vegan world still you'll never find them if they are mentioned they are treated with utter contempt and there'll be some you know various web sites that will put up with a debunk on whoever and so you don't have to look any further and that's really a shame because as their health starts to decline a lot of these people don't know where to go you know they've kind of wrapped themselves up into this cult-like atmosphere and it's really hard to step outside and start looking for the alternate information and I have a lot of compassion because I was there you know for 20 years I was terrified to look outside even though I at some level you know this is not working you shouldn't feel this bad at age 25 or age 30 and so it's really hard so we were talking about physical markers you know like just you personally your bones not being healthy anymore and some other vegans or vegetarians as well what are some of the reasons to eat meat beyond just minerals or I guess the proof for trying to find the right way to word that you know like why should we eat me what are the benefits of it okay so two and a half million years ago is when the genus Homo arrived on the plains of Africa and over the next million million and a half years our cranial capacity doubled and our digestive tracts shrunk so our brains got gigantic and in fact they need 25% of our energy goes directly to your brain so this is a really energy heavy organ it needs a lot of fuel but we have short digestive tracts and that was the trade-off the only reason the fact the only way that can work is if we're eating really really nutrient-dense food okay because we we don't have you know but the capacity of say a ruminant or even an orangutan if you think about a primate like an orangutan you think of a giant barrel torso with kind of skinny arms and legs right using that big barrel is theirs because they have a completely different digestive system than we do and they can digest leaves all day long hmm and turns into the foods that they need we don't have that capacity we don't have a lot of cows have five stomachs or foursome yeah and what's interesting I mean both the orangutan and the cow example what those animals are actually doing they're not just actually digesting all that cellulose so leaves or grass or whatever they're chewing they're feeding that to the bacteria that live inside their bodies the bacteria are actually doing the digesting for them and then they are eating the bacteria so they take this elite nutrient poor substance just pure cellulose and they actually turn it into high fat high protein bacteria which is what they digest what's crazy ya know I made soup to make their own sort of hunting-gathering forming inside their own bodies and you will find these sort of correspondences of this sort of web of life no matter where you look in nature I mean we're all dependent on each other right but that's what's actually going on inside those animals and we don't have the capacity to do that we have the digestive system of a carnivore we have a very acidic stomach and that's for splitting protein you know so we don't do that fermentation we just do give me the stuff I'll break it down and absorb it and so what you find in the archaeological record is until about 10,000 years ago the very first tools we ever made were hunting tools and butchering tools the very first wooden Spears we ever made were used that we ever found we've ever been found were used to kill an elephant it was five hundred million years ago and the tools that they found are actually still coated in that animal fat and that only surrounded by the bones but they're actually there's no question what these tools were used for and of course the first art we ever made was the animals we were eating and it's hunting scenes on the caves of France and Spain and the animal bones are right there as well and also you can do chemical analysis of ancient teeth and the it's quite clear that what we were eating was ruminants that were surviving on grasses and that's from the isotope analysis which gets complicated but that's just the take-home point yes we were eating large ruminants that lived on the African savannah and that was how we got these giant brains very nutrient-dense food easy for us to assimilate with short digestive tracts and as a result our brains doubled and we became human I was reading the book sapiens have you read that one yes again my other great book and I kind of for the last I don't know four years or so I felt intimidated by all the history of human evolution and everything this is so many dates but this book puts it in a really layman's terms and kind of walks you through it and it was so fascinating but one of the things in there he was talking about was how the invent or how the power to harness fire really bumped us up to the top of the food chain yeah that we as soon as we could control that we can cook and that's a much more efficient way of getting nutrients out of food then you know eating it all raw putting it through our bodies having it digest it kind of like the orangutan now we can just get extract more nutrition and the fire was really what bumped us to the top there and it's one reason why I mean a lot of a lot of the vegetarians have an argument that our teeth don't look like dog's teeth and that's why we're not actually carnivores on what they're missing in this is the role that fire played that we probably would have teeth that look more like carnivore teeth except for two things and one is the tools we made and two is fire which is a tool but if maybe we had brains that were big enough to make these kinds of tools and so instead of growing them in our mouths you know we learned how to make t hem and use them with our hands and so that would be the knives the spears the arrows the butchering tools all that stuff and then fire of course made that food more digestible so we don't need the exact teeth that dogs have we also domesticated dogs I mean in the first week we did that was to help us hunt and it's a great pairing you know it worked the dogs and it worked for us and I have two dogs I can tell you it's it's a great little combo you know dogs and humans but it's worked for them as well so but that's why so yeah they have teeth like that we don't need them and that's the part that the vegetarians I think miss but to get back to your other question so because we you know evolved eating all this meat it means that there are a whole bunch of nutrients we really can only get in the quantities we need by eating meat so you can start with the protein itself protein from meat has all the amino acids you need in the exact proportions that the human body needs some not true for plant foods none of them are complete and the proteins that do exist come wrapped in cellulose because they're plants and we don't really have a mechanism to digest cellulose so even if those proteins were more complete we can't really access them well because we can't get to them and that's why it's called you know poor quality protein when you eat those kind of proteins it's you really can't get to them so it's problem number one problem number two is the fats there are fats that are only available in animal products you cannot get them in plants plants don't need them and they don't make them and that includes vitamin D it includes vitamin a good quality k2 you can get a little bit in plants but mostly you got to get it from animals and a lot of people get confused because they say well what about carrots now the thing about the vitamin A that's in carrots is that it's not in a form that humans use easily its proto bite of an a it's a it has to be converted in our bodies to the form that we actually use and there are human beings who cannot do that conversion they are missing the enzyme and the reason they're missing the enzyme is that in their history in their family history in their ancestral history there was so much vitamin A in their diets that they didn't need that enzyme anymore and evolution is very good at pruning branches the moment there was enough vitamin A that we didn't need that enzyme a whole bunch of people stopped making it why make it if you don't use it fine we drop it so if you're from an island or a coastal people like for instance you're Irish you may be one of those people who doesn't need that enzyme doesn't make that enzyme and if you don't eat actual vitamin A you can die and these people are called obligate carnivores because there's no other option for them even those of us who do have that enzyme it's not an easy conversion you have to eat about eight times as much Pro to vitamin A to convert to the amount of vitamin A that you actually need the very young and the very old often can't do it at all even if during middle age they're able to do it so vitamin A is a real problem and you know a lot of vegans won't tell you the truth about this but you need to supplement vitamin A if you're trying to eat a plant-based diet carrots will not do it so with vitamin with all the vitamin and mineral deficiencies is it enough if you do want to commit to being vegetarian or vegan can you just supplement all of those if that's really what you want to do so two problems one is that that's honestly part of the definition of an eating disorder if you think that supplements can replace food I mean if you go and read a definition you'll find that in there so you're walking on some kind of it's very it's a tightrope yeah you know it's not a particularly healthy way to approach food the other problem is that you know even if it's made in a lab it doesn't necessarily match what we find in the kinds of foods actual food that people have been eating for two and a half million years there's all kinds of interactions between you know something that you might eat and the way that those vitamins are chemically how they look it's going to be a little different than what's produced in a lab and we don't know long-term you know whether that's good enough a lot of times it's not and I just I just especially if I had children I would feel very funny I would have a lot of questions about whether or not this was actually a healthy way forward well I'll just get it in a capsule instead and hope for the best it's made in a factory it's not made in forests and prairies and in rivers and oceans like it where is there a factory in our ancestral history and why would you trust that so I don't think it's I don't think it's it's better than nothing if you're committed to that diet but I don't actually think it's a healthy way forward okay what about with the fat issue like avocados or coconut oil is that enough or do you need animal fat specifically those things are are certainly better than industrial seed oils and it may be the only fats that vegans are willing to eat that it's at least a little bit appropriate for the human template so a lot of times when confused people write to me and they're you know having a hard time with this that's one of the things I'll tell them is all right well at least for now take out all the soy you know take out this this and this and instead try to eat coconut oil every day avocados are really good for you you're willing to eat that so eat those but those products those foods do not contain vitamin A they do not contain vitamin D and they still don't have a really great omega-6 Omega 3 balance um-hmm so if they're not perfect you know it's things to think about especially if you're still kind of in vegan world but it's it's not ideal okay so talking then about like some big like with veganism there seems to be and I've never been vegan or vegetarian but I know the China Study is like the big gold standard and that's been debunked essentially but I'm still kind of confused on can you talk a little bit about the China Study and I guess why that was such a big deal and then why it mate might not be relevant right so the problem with that kind of it's really just a survey it's not even really a study is that there are so many variables that go into trying to figure out you know on a broad level what people are eating and what effect that might have on their health you can't really draw the kinds of conclusions that he drew and anybody who has any background in actual science knows that so why it is that his book got published is kind of a mystery to me I don't know why they didn't have some kind of educated readers look it over first because you just can't draw those kinds of conclusions and what were some of the conclusions that were in the house his main conclusion is if you eat any animal products at all you are going to get cancer um and this is just silly and a lot of it was based on a previous research he had done where he had rats in a laboratory or mice and he I can't remember which it was and he adjusted the various amino acids in their diets and was able to either get them to grow cancers or to stop growing cancers and this is a true fact we know that this happens with rats and mice they're very prone to cancer and you can do this by turning on and off their various amino acids but in nature you don't actually eat an amino acid I mean this doesn't really relate to how people live in the world and the kinds of foods that we eat you don't get one amino acid you get a whole complement of amino acids when you're eating any food right so this doesn't really relate to anything that anybody would ever eat except outside of a laboratory and how he can then say well because I gave t hem this amino acid that means you should never eat dairy or you're gonna get cancer it just doesn't even make any sense yeah and the best people are really curious about the China Study stuff the best person to look at is Denis minger am I in ger and she spent months pouring through the China study and she actually got the research volume that you can get separate from it that actually has all his numbers and she kind of redid all the calculations in the book and Colin T Colin Campbell didn't even discover what he said he did like his numbers don't even match Wow I mean it's like the whole thing just kind of falls apart that further into it you get yeah um so anyway those are just a few things about it but it really scares me that people are making major life decisions based on a book like that is it still pretty popular or has it is the most vegans you know it's kind of their Bible because it's the first thing anybody says when they're upset may is but the China study the China study okay so it's still floating out there it is it is yeah well I know one of the big reasons okay so my sister's experimenting with vegetarianism veganism she's probably early 20s now I think she's exactly 20 and she watched a few documentaries on it and you know it's all about factory farming and the dangers of it and I know that's a huge reason why a lot of people are drawn to veganism vegetarianism is because they don't want to hurt animals and I love animals do you think those two things are mutually exclusive loving animals and eating them or what's your take on the whole ethical issue here so I think factory farming is something we can all agree on that it's just horrible to keep sentient beings in those kinds of conditions and this is something really that I think vegetarians vegans animal rights people paleo traditional food people really should all be working together on and I'm happy to work with anybody on those issues because it's really horrible I mean it's one of the main reasons I went vegan as well the problem is that a lot of those people are so ideological that they won't work with anybody else on it and it's too bad because we could be getting a lot further you know if we would all work together but that aside the problem here is a lack of information and it's a grave misunderstanding about the nature of Agriculture itself so cities can't really be done in a soundbite you have to really understand what we've done to the planet by doing agriculture hmm so agriculture is the most destructive human activity that's it I mean we've skimmed the planet alive and so you have to understand what it is you take a piece of land and you clear every living thing off the land and I mean down to the bacteria right and then you plant it to human use so it's biotic cleansing so all those plants and animals now have nowhere to go because we've taken over that land and we're only growing corn or soy or wheat or whatever forgiveness and 98% of the world's old growth forests and 99% of the world's prairies have been devastated by this process there's no way you can look at that level of massive snake extinction and say this is good for animals that's problem and the answer to this is certainly not factory farming but to think that you know if you're looking at your plate and you don't see dead animals to then assume that there are no dead animals involved is a grave misapprehension about the nature of the problem it is way bigger than what's dead on your plate you have to ask what died to get this food on my plate and if you're eating agricultural foods the answer is the entire planet hmm it's not just a few individual animals it's not even just a species it's not even an entire biome it's actually the process of life itself okay vertebrate evolution has not come to a halt and it's because of Agriculture because humans had taken over all that land and there isn't enough land left now for evolution to actually continue just like with the mono cropping and the tail we're doing it on yeah yeah yeah so it's just an inherently destructive process and you know we've had ten thousand years and we've trashed the planet so the only way the only way out of this is first of all we're going to have to reduce our numbers to something sustainable and second of all we have to repair what we've destroyed and then we're going to have to take our place as members of those biotic communities once more instead of imposing ourselves across it which is what we've done by doing agriculture we need to be participants once more inside those cycles yeah I was reading that there's something like I think it's 8 million acres of lawn in the United States and that if everyone turned their lawn all eight million acres of it we could feed the entire unit United States without a farm out there I don't really want to turn my lawn into a farm but that's a cool statistic to put in perspective that when we think we need like gigantic farms to ramp up food production for everyone sometimes smaller farms can still produce a lot of food as well yeah we have as much lawn in the United States as the entire country of India has an agricultural production that's a lot it is a lot yeah that's that's a serious stat right there so what should we be eating then you know if we do want to get behind the the moral ethics of vegan vegetarian or I guess what do you eat cuz I know you're still an animal lover it's not like yeah yeah it said I hate animals all of a sudden now I'm gonna eat them it's still a big part so what is it what does your diet look like now well we have Paleolithic bodies so we need to eat Paleolithic foods that just kind of makes sense right I mean the moment that people take a bagra culture you know you can see in the archaeological record the number of diseases that take hold and anybody who's a medical anthropologist or an archaeologist can look at a bone and they'll tell you in 10 seconds whether it's from a hunter-gatherer or from an auger agriculturalists because the the boat the difference in you know the health of the bones is just so profound it's obvious immediately and that that's from like what we're talking about earlier with the demineralization and all that what we're talking I said I mean even at iron deficiency anemia would be so bad that it literally caused bone changes especially in children so yeah the lack of nth minerals the lack of the vitamins that actually put those minerals to use to build things like bone and teeth all of that just disappears overnight and then instead of animal foods the cereal grains displace that and people's health just Falls to pieces we actually have a concept that's called the diseases of civilization mmm there are no corresponding diseases of hunter-gatherers this is just an absolute disaster for human health for the planet for everything so yeah so I try to eat a paleo diet so I'm going to walk you through scenarios there's you have an acre of land and so in one scenario this is what you can do with that acre of land you can clear all the life off it just clear every last thing off it now you've got bare ground and you can plant your corn now you plant the corn so what happens in the meantime you're destroying the topsoil because it's been exposed right it's it's exposed to win terrain to sort you know to the Sun and like us when the soil is exposed it dies this is an emergency for the planet when you have exposed soil it only happens in floods or fires right we've done this on purpose it's a war against the planet so we've explored the soil it's now dying another problem is that you've planted your corn great but the roots of annuals are very shallow annual plants do not live long they live a very short time just two or three seasons they don't have time to have deep roots the deep-rooted plants or the p erennial plants so the trees and the and the perennial grasses they have really really deep root structures and what that means a few very important things for the the life of this planet the first thing is that is what makes that those roots make the channels that rain uses to enter the soil so without those channels the rain just runs off oh yeah so now what should be a great big sponge for the life community is completely dry all the time it just the rain just never enters it doesn't charge the water table it doesn't fill up in the soil there's not enough and so when summer comes and things are hot and dry in a perennial system you know whether it's a forest or grassland those plants you know will draw that water back up and make it available to the other creatures with but there's nothing to do that there are no plants that can do that and there's no water there to do it from so big problem there and another you know major crisis for life on Earth is that it's only the perennials that can get down to that rock that substratum a rock break up that rock and bring those minerals up to the surface where the rest of us need them you and I cannot eat Rock right we don't go out for budget crunch on rock but that's who does that is it's the perennial roots in conjunction with a bunch of other microscopic creatures a micro rise are the bacteria they produce the acids that actually do it and in exchange for some sugar they will make those minerals available to the plants the plants bring them up and the rest of us have access to them in one way or another without that all those cycles just grind to a halt there's no access that rock so minerals and water right you can't have life without them now none of that becomes available when you have your acre of corn you're minding the soil you're taking out what few minerals are left and every year you're taking out more and more until there's none left and the entire thing just collapses so in the mean time where has all that topsoil gone well it's gone into the air as dust particles it's also runoff into whatever local waterways exists so now you've destroyed the local streams and rivers as well all the fish are gone because they've been killed by this runoff of topsoil you've basically killed everything there's nothing left and the truth about civilizations which is to look the way of life based on agriculture they last between 800 and 2,000 years they last until the soil gives out at that point there is a major collapse and this has been the pattern of every single civilization that's ever existed and that's why it's a disruptive process so you can do all that and you can get your acre of corn for a few hundred years and then you can decide hey this corn is so cheap because of all of the fertilizer that we are now making from oil and gas the fossil fuel fertilizer which has driven the price of corn below the cost of production that's what it's done now it's so cheap why don't we take that super cheap corn and we'll feed it to a cow who's living essentially in a city you don't want to submit floor in a metal building with a bunch of other crowded cows will feed her that corn will make some really cheap beef because it'll make her fat really fast and then at the end of the day we'll kill that cow and feed it to people now this meat is going to be really sick it doesn't have the right amino acid profile it doesn't have the right a make a 6 Omega 3 balance the fatty acid profile is all wrong - that cow was miserable the entire time feed it to people make them sick because it's not really right for people either what you've created is death and misery the entire way on that acre of land ok that's where we are now and what the vegans say is gosh from that cow onward is really bad well yeah that is really bad but back that up because the entire thing is crazy right and it has no future you start from the very beginning why did you kill that ecosystem right it's dead right and this is the planet now alright another scenario same acre of land you leave it alone it's got 25 different plants per square meter there are tiny little animals we can't see there is gigantic megafauna that we think are magnificent in between you have reptiles and birds and you have amphibians and everybody's living there and evolution is taking place everybody has a home right and also what you have there on that that Prairie on that grassland are some ruminants because ruminants are the only creatures that really can digest that grass and make those nutrients available again to the cycle of life you have to understand life on a grassland on a prairie it's very dry that's why it's not a forest right and in those long summer months when there is no rain what keeps the cycle of life moving is the activity of those remnants they make moisture available they keep the bacteria alive by giving them a home inside their own bodies on the surface of the soil life pretty much goes dormant if it wasn't for those ruminants it would turn into desert ok that's absolutely crucial you cannot have grasslands without ruminants so you keep that acre exactly as it is all of those creatures they are doing their part to keep the cycle of life moving to keep nutrients moving to recycle carbon water all of it nitrogen it's all moving and at the end of that same year you take a room in it you kill her you feed her to humans we have a role to play to write life as a whole continues though we eventually die as well we become part of that cycle our bodies are taken up every last piece of carbon is taken up by the next living creature in that cycle and in the end the soil eats us all so it's not like it stops with us we are part of that cycle too and that's the creature that we and then in next time we are eaten by someone else that could go on until the Sun burns out the only difference year-to-year is there's a little more topsoil which is to say life has a little more resilience mostly because of the action of those grasses in those ruminants so those are your options right you've got the death that's killing everything and you have the death that makes my life year after year is it those are the current options or maybe those like is it too late for that second option since we've already poured concrete everywhere and kind of mono crop and destroyed the prairies too late I refuse to believe that it's too late so if we took all the trash out agricultural land right now around the world in fact we don't need to do this about 80 percent of it and we restored the prairies and the grasslands that really do want to come home and also restored the remnants that need to live there that actually make those cycles happen we could in under 15 years sequester all of the carbon that's been released since the beginning of the in fact the carbon would drop to 330 parts per million now 350 is the red line right above that we are in danger and as a planet and you know it's hit 400 now so we are way above the red line but even in 15 years if we were just to repair we could do it I don't think that it's too late I think the grasses and the ruminants you know they still have a dog in this fight they really do want to come home and you know that's what they do they build soil and the building block is carbon so I don't think this is too late right now every single institution is headed in the wrong direction that's the problem what are we subsidizing in the United States the US Department of Agriculture who gets the subsidies I'll tell you who gets the subsidies it's those giant grain producers there are six corporations that essentially control the world food supply and that's what they produce is corn soy wheat rice and a ton of that goes to animals because it's so cheap it's not the natural diet of a cow we're killing these cows by doing it what we've done is we took 60 million incredibly heal thy bison on the Great Plains all of them were eradicated and we are now producing instead is 40 million really sick cows it doesn't even make any sense yeah yeah it takes something like 2,400 gallons of water to feed one pound of factory farm cow or something crazy like all the water that goes into the corn it's not because she drinks that much water you know I'll drink so much water but it's because of factory farming so this is the everything like all the statistics you're gonna hear from vegetarians and vegans are true but it's only true about factory farming yeah which we can all agree is wrong right and there's a better way out there which is the way that we lived for two-and-a-half million years we were participants in those cycles we were not monsters and destroyers it's only when we took up agriculture that we became this destructive so what do you recommend like we do to help the second scenario of those two how do we get behind it how do we get involved what do you what is Lee Ayers recommendations so a number of things there's things you can do on a personal scale which are great and they will help you and then there are ways to get involved with little politically which i think is even more important personally by as much I sped pasture-raised animal products that you can from small farmers in your region and this has actually gotten easier and easier in the last decade so many people have gotten on board with this and so many new small farms have sprung up who can make a living doing this because more and more people understand how important it is so one of the best websites you can go to is called eat wild calm and it's run by a woman named Joe Robinson she's written I think two books as well about this but you can go state-by-state click on your state and look at all the different grass-based farms where you can go directly and buy food so you can get beef you can get pork you can get chicken turkey you can find raw milk you can find cheese and you can rest assured that you can go there and visit see with your own eyes how well they're doing you can ask some questions these people are very keen on talking to the public they understand how important it is and you can know that you are actually repairing the world you're repairing the water table you're repairing the rivers and streams you're building topsoil you're making a home for so many other animals that have nowhere to go birds and fish and amphibians and reptiles and the small mammals it's just everybody needs to live there and these are the people who are doing that repair and they're also making food for humans that's perfect it's I mean there's nothing better than grass-fed beef or bison for the human body it's got everything we need it's a mono food you could live on that alone if you're willing to eat some of it raw you could mmm um you absolutely could and people have so it's just a fact um anyway that's the best place to go eat wild calm and make a commitment to doing that it may mean that you have to you know take more time out of your life to get that food you may have to get a giant freezer or figure out how to you know make jerky in your backyard all of that is fun you can do all that more and more it's available in local stores as well you'll pay more for it if you don't buy it directly from the farm but it's there um even places like Whole Foods you know we'll have a whole section now that's grass-fed beef and stuff grass-fed listen and it's worth understanding why you're doing it and why it's important because I think this is the only way that we're going to repair this planet so that's what you can do personally for it politically there are a lot of really great groups that are trying to do policy changes you know on a big level and that's what's going to have to happen we have to understand foreign policy we have to understand the USDA we have to understand the stranglehold that those six corporations have on the world food supply and we're going to have to fight them so getting involved on that level a really great group that does a lot of advocacy is the Western price foundation and that's Western a price org and they have an entire legal arm of their organization that goes to bat for all of us in Washington but yeah these are these can be very technical issues it can be really boring but if we don't do it no one else is going to because right now money is winning and land animals people communities are all losing so we really have to try to understand it at whatever level and try to get involved I mean a mid-range level is getting involved in your local school like what are they eating and why why are these kids having to eat total crap and now there's been this huge push for them to eat low-fat food and it's it's just the worst direction possible children need fat in their brains you're not gonna have a healthy brain and you only get one chance to build that brain and it just breaks my heart that these kids are being forced to eat low-fat food in school it's not the right direction but why aren't they eating locally grown you know full fat milk full fat beef like that's what those kids need to get to build healthy bodies for the rest of their lives so get in there and advocate for those kids like that's a really important thing that any of us can do no matter where we live léo this was a great call out coming up on time but we have a couple closing questions the first one is looking back on this year either 2015-2016 what's been the biggest lesson you have learned gosh it's that it stumps a lot of people don't worry personally or on a more political scale can be either or just your ear the first thing that pops the mind the first thing that pops okay um that I was right to get dogs I feel like my dogs have saved my soul they are such wonderful creatures you know I don't tell you what it is every morning about the house that I live in right now has a really steep staircase up to the the second floor where my bedroom is and where my dogs sleep with me and there's it's so steep it's like a ladder Wow morning if and my dogs they look at that and they're like great no problem give me another day I'm for it and they go barreling down that ladder head first and they don't even think twice about it and if I had to face that every morning I would lay in bed and cry yeah you know what I mean like it just I can't face that ladder guy going headfirst on a ladder every morning I couldn't do it ya know they're just like let's just do it give me another day they're so excited to be alive yeah they're so excited to be alive so they're a recent thing you just got him I got my first dog a year and a half ago and then I got her brother Jamie actually almost a year ago exactly so now I have two of these wonderful beasts in my life and also their loyalty I mean beyond their optimism they're so loyal they're so smart they understand things that I do not understand about the nature of the universe and that's quite clear and it's just so great to have them around and just to have that kind of a connection that it's not about you know we they don't I mean they know about fifteen words in English and I don't know any words and dog but yet we communicate yeah and I just love that we're able to have a really profound connection with each other they adore me and I would lay down my life for them you know and one of my dogs she had a terrible thing last month and she almost died out of nowhere and I just remember that that moment when you think even if she dies it was so worth it even if I spend an extra crying for this dog it was so worth it to have that kind of love that kind of loyalty that mutual you know that we just adored each other like that it's always worth it and so love is worth it and I know that sounds so corny but if you want my life lessons the last year that 's it love is always worth it it doesn't matter we know where it ends everybody dies right get sick everybody is like right death is a part of it but it's always worth it to love anyway so yeah a little more basic level what you said about the communicating with the dogs I've always found really fascinating like when you hold out your hand and they can shake and they understand that or when you say walk and they start wiggling and running around okay that's communication right there and fifteen thousand years ago we domesticated them first animals so it's yeah it's see why yeah it's crazy it is not good at so many things Liara your site is Lear Keith calm is that the best place for people to find you and your work hey and if they can't remember how to spell my name honestly if they just look up vegetarian myth on Google they will get to me because I'm air or some or some angry sites or so you will find some very horrible things about me as well look at those or not I don't care but as long as you at least go to my site and see what I'm about for real thanks so much for coming on the air this is a great show learned a lot about farming and agriculture and and mineral deficiencies and some really fascinating stuff in here so thanks you're very welcome until next time hey that was a fun one right I told you it was a interesting call I really enjoyed talking to Lee err again thank you she sent me her book like two days after this Express Mail really wanted me to have it and I've been flipping through it and just been blown away by the amalgamation of all this research in there it's a thick book it's dense twel sided it's well written chewed a phenomenal job with it so two thumbs up peeler hacks comm again go over there for our archives recipes and articles just tons and tons and tons of great content over there pay their hacks on social media I believe snapchats the one we're using the most and that's just at paleo hacks you can search by username and other announcements guys um you know to get real for a second on a serious note this paleo hacks podcast if you're still listening right now chances are Yura you're a longtime listener or someone who appreciates the show and I just wanted to really thank you from the bottom of my heart for that and we've been doing the show for three years think over a hundred episodes or something like that I started the show in college you know not knowing anything not that I know everything now but I'll have a lot more than I did when I was 19 doing the show and this nervous kid interviewing all these people he read about finally got an opportunity to talk to them and I was so ecstatic to do it and so it was a good it was a good team and um I guess I'm trying to get out I'm trying to say this has been such a long journey hundred episodes three plus years in the making I'm really proud of what we built to pay their hacks but I think it's time for a change and so the team and I at pedo hacks have decided to not produce the show any longer um we have about don't worry we have about I think eight or so episodes recorded and ready and that'll take us up until sometime in October so I'll announce and I'll probably try and do something special for the last final show working on some things in the works of like compounding the best lessons or it will be something special for the last one for sure but um you know I'm not I'm not we're both in this it's not Clark got fired or Clark quit paid Oh hacks or any of that there's no bad blood at all still talk all the time it's just time for for both of us to make a change I think they're going a different direction with content more recipes articles higher-quality everything like that and you know long-form interviews are a very niche to be perfectly honest a very niche long time consuming piece of content and with the internet changing and our attention span shrinking I think people are not consuming podcasts in the health field at least at the rates that they used to maybe three or four years ago when it peaked that's just to be brutally honest guys um so that's why if you're listening right now to these very words I appreciate you so much and if you if you wanna I'm still going to be around I'm not going away so if you want to continue this relationship if you want to continue whatever it is it's not a fan at all I'm not that hot-headed but I would love to stay in contact with you excuse me shoot me an email Clark at Clark danger calm or get on my mailing list by downloading the 11 questions change your life um Clark danger calm slash download I plan on doing a lot in this world I plan on doing great things I plan on using this and going in a great direction really inspired a couple things I got going on really excited to share them with you and I would love love love your support in that especially if you've been listening for the last three or so years but not to worry last thing all of our archives will still stay up for eternity so if you're missing the show ever at you know when October comes to the end new man where's the new episodes never fear you can go back and listen to all hundred that'll take you at the rate of one a week what two years to get through all of them again so we can be together for two more years all right that is it thank you so much for your support I'll see you next Thursday from the bottom of my heart I love you and thanks for listening till then .

For more Paleohacks Podcast episodes, make sure to check out http://blog.paleohacks.com/category/podcast/ Can we love animals and still eat meat? Former vegan Lierre Keith, farmer, activist and author of The Vegetarian Myth, says that eating meat isn’t just a choice, it is vital to our survival. In this podcast, Lierre gives us a very factual rundown about how we’ve evolved to require meat in order to thrive. She talks about her years as a vegetarian and the ways that it destroyed her body, affected her moods and permanently damaged her health. Practicing veganism doesn’t only affect our individual health, Lierre says. Modern agriculture has messed up our entire eco-system: rivers, fish, even soil. Fortunately, she provides us with tips for doing our part to mend our system, including eating lots of grass-fed beef! 5:00: How being a vegetarian “wore out” Lierre’s body and mind through constant insulin crashes and joint problems. 8:00: Why the vegan diet can affect your mineral absorption. 9:30: How grains are “pre-loaded” with ways to harm us. 13:00: The evolutionary reasons why we need to fuel our brains with nutrient-dense food. 17:00: Fire has shaped our evolution, dictating our teeth and digestion. 20:00: What are “obligate carnivores”? Why are supplements not enough? 26:30: How modern agriculture has “skinned the planet alive”. 30:00: We have Paleolithic bodies.

what's up my friends it's the mango terian and welcome back to the fruits berries and melons shiz oh and we're gonna talk about regenerative detoxification because without regenerative detoxification all you have is a short-term solution that doesn't cover a long-term problem and for those of you that are losing your health because the lymphatic system has become backed up from head to toe and you have reached a saturation of acidosis in your body know that these short-term solutions don't create long term success that's pretty much what the article was about that I wrote today and before we get into that I just want to let you guys know where I'm at this is a facility here a giant facility that has a lot of stuff basketball courts soccer core entertainment center arcade wave pool I mean it's an amazing facility here and they're moving stuff around upstairs so if there's noise just please bear with me I'm utilizing the time that I have been doing my work here with brother Johnny and this is where he works so I'm going to utilize the time that I have to make these videos because I promised you guys that I would do a video at least publish one every other day and try to do one every day if possible so please excuse the noise I'm just in the quietest place that I have access to to make a video right now so everything's going well with me I haven't been that active outside but what I have been more active is working out hitting the machines and focusing on building up my body and I'm interested to see what I could create with more weights and not focusing so much on cardio to see if I could build muscle on this on this diet of course I got to wait for my body to to to fix you know ultimately right we're trying to fix digestion absorption utilization and eliminate our waste and we have to get rid of the acid stagnation and we have to get rid of the mucus in the pus in the biofilm and the terrain in the body that blocks the small intestines ability to get that absorption through so that you could hold on to a healthy weight and as you guys know I had it I still do chronic state of malabsorption well I would say from regenerative detoxification over a couple of years now that I'm not eating as much as I used to and I'm feeling more satisfied long-term which means I am getting better absorption than I was before but you know putting on a lot of weight hasn't been a reality I've been able to put on maybe ten pounds and I've been able I've been plateaued there but it's not about the weight guys it's about your health it's about how you feel and you know when you when you deal with Mel absorption issues you it's hard to put on muscle and I used to have a lot of muscle so of course I have to wait and when my body is done repairing and cleaning so that it could build on the nutrition coming in because in all reality nobody should lose weight or have issues holding on to weight and muscle on this lifestyle of fruits berries melons and vegetables the only reason why somebody would is because they have underlying issues and damages in their body and they have to take care of those issues through detoxification and that just takes time to fix so that's another topic this videos not wow it's getting super loud they're probably moving a lot of machinery upstairs on this video is not about Mel's Orson it's about these fad diets whatever fad diet it may be a paleo diet a keto diet one thing we have to understand here is that we're not quite cave dwellers I've botched that stay bent we're not cave dwellers okay we're tropical species human beings came from the tropics the the only reason why human beings have adopted diets outside of their species specific diet is only for survival purposes and there's a big controversy you know about the Paleolithic diet was based around meat and that's just not true if you look at the research a lot of it was based around tubers and plant foods yeah they were cooking their plant foods and they were still eating foods they weren't designed for primarily because we again were tropical species designed for fruit they had to to find another resource for fuel and you know this the second best fuel source identified in my opinion outside of fruits and vegetables in their raw living state is going to be cooked starches in their whole form tubers mainly and then you know you got your grains and your beans but I think they're a step down even more I think that you know your tubers are a lot better of an option than these grains and beans because they have fight to Gossett's enzyme inhibitors anti nutrients and they just have all this stuff in them that would insinuate that they don't want to be eaten and also it takes a long time to cook them to break them down in order to absorb them that's another topic but it is want to say that that was the real Paleolithic diet was really based around starch and because they didn't have access to an abundance of animal food and hunting with the limited tools that they had was kind of a a hard thing to do to sustain themselves on all this meat it was much easier to dig up roots from the ground and cook them than it would be to kill an animal to get their sustenance and their their fuel and plus you know we don't get our fuel as a human species from fats and proteins if you feel good on that it's only temporary it's only because you have removed a diet that is way out of touch with nature which is the standard American diet built around processed starches chemicals additives and just all kinds of junk and that's why people feel better on these temporary diets of you know ketogenic diets and paleo diets because well the keto diet is high in fat and fats are anti-inflammatory so those that have a lot of acid conditions may benefit from these fats because they're anti-inflammatories but over time when you starve the body of sugar it's natural fuel source it's going to shut down and create ketoacidosis because the ketogenic diet is an acidic diet it's based around dead animals and dead animals are acidic and they will shut down the kidneys and bowels over time but for those that are coming off a standard American diet that are overweight are gonna benefit short term on these types of diets Paleo diet or the ketogenic diet and those are the two popular ones apart from a cooked vegan diet and a raw free diet is the least popular diet that there is and it's the most beneficial to the human organism it's the most beneficial diet for any species for that matter we're the only species that has learned to cook our food because we have migrated out of our natural environment and I have us flight is so we're we were forced to eat cooked food but cook food will never be more superior than raw food its depleted of biophotons its depleted of its natural energies and energetics I mean enzymes and energetics and when you cook food you're losing nutrition and you're not even getting a lot of bioavailability of amino acids and bio phytonutrients and any other people think that they're getting a lot of good quality protein from cooked food but you're really only getting 50% if if 30 percent of that protein if you're trying to build muscle or whatever so this whole myth about cooked food being better is a lie because raw food is going to absorb you're going to get more bioavailable energy and chemistry out of that food when it's in its raw and living natural state and that's why it's just so important to understand the simplicity of what humans are designed to eat so that you don't get caught up in all this intellectualism of all these diets that are only temporary solutions that cause long-term problems they all do they all cause long-term problems because but but a raw food fruit based diet doesn't it creates detoxification it exposes weaknesses it could be uncomfortable when the body's detoxing and cleaning metabolic wastes out that's been stagnant for many years but it's going to continually regenerate and reverse these problems and keep them away forever that's going to cure the problem not good it's not going to mask and suppress the symptoms and that's what these kiddo paleo type of diets do and you know with my own personal health it shut down after a year of going on those types of diets and my kidneys shut down I lost filtration my lymphatic system backed up and I ran into problems and most people do when they continually eat dead future effective animals thinking that that is a good way to get healthy and it's just a limited diet of eating dead food when you don't have to you could eat all the fruits in abundance you want you could eat all the vegetables in abundance you want and you're not going to create health issues doing it either so if we could just get back to the simplicity and figure out the origin of the human diet which if you look back millions of years ago before humans migrated and to different climates and and found a different fuel source for survival purposes you will see that nature provided an abundance of fruit easily accessible for us to eat in its raw and natural state and it's a perfect fuel source to fuel our bodies and for those of you that are healing your bodies that are that I've adapted back to a fruit diet will understand how beneficial it is when it comes to digestion energetics and overall just healing and repairing problems that you've dealt with your whole life the exposed problems and they make things worse temporarily because that's cause and effect you feel a burn when you create a problem and you feel a burn when you eliminate a problem it's just the way it goes guys you have to go through that process of the body healing itself and it's not always a pleasant experience but at the end of the day fruits regenerate the body and do things that no other fruit can do and they move the lymphatic system so that you could remove the acid stagnation and that's what it's all about so I know you guys have heard this before but I'm just continually encouraging you guys to understand that don't veer off to all these you know we have youtubers and we have information on the internet that's pushing all this science that isn't real science it's funded and it's it's cherry-picking and it's just not reality we're a frugal or species it's just pure and simple and we do have enough literature inside it's to back that up so you know you have to get away from this cooked food propaganda and understand that raw food is always more superior than cooked and and it's because people are forgetting about the energetics of the food meat has zero energetics you need energy for your nervous system you need energy to fuel your brain you need energy to to allow the body to heal itself and so the meats are just stimulants the neurotransmitters make you feel good they increase the chemicals in your brain they they boot the neural the adrenal glands but then over time they produce too much serotonin dopamine and all these hormones and the acids destroy the adrenals so they stop producing those chemicals and then when the adrenals shut down the kidneys shut down and you don't eliminate your waste and that's what happens on these Putra fact of dead hormone rich they're steroids meats are just steroids you're just stimulating your body you're not enhancing your body with living energetics of the raw foods and that's what you need to repair damages and that's what you need for the body to be most compatible with optimal function not stimulation and that's why people benefit short term but run into long-term problems people are losing their joints people are losing their colons and they're pooping out of bags they're getting put on dialysis they're getting tumors and cysts and all kinds of lymphatic issues and it's not caused from fruits and vegetables and a lot of it's not even caused from the whole cook plant foods I mean those foods can be congesting and constipating and if you have a backed-up lymphatic system and you're not filtering then those foods are going to hold you back and they could cause potential issues but at the end of the day it's the animal food that are causing these problems it's the dairy and the meat that are linked to damaging cells which is what cancer is and creating tumors so when you get off the meat and the dairy you get bowel movements seeing things start flowing these foods are constipating so you know people say they feel good on these programs they really don't feel good on those programs they just feel hi temporary and a lot of people that are Oh beast hell yeah they're gonna feel good on a ketogenic diet because they're removing a lot of processed foods and a lot of foods that are just very chemicalized and you know there are at least eating Whole Foods but you know I guess they're eating Whole Foods a lot of the coconut oil the butter and the bacon and then in the fish and the chicken and and and you know the fat the fatty beef you know it's it's it's not going to do you any good it really destroyed my colon it backed up my GI tract it really put a beating on my pancreas it caused a lot of constipation that I never dealt with ever I've always been real regular and it took a raw living food fruit based diet for me to become regular again I have bowel movements all the time I'm always cleaning out my septic tank I'm always cleaning out my bowels everything's flowing good and before things weren't flowing good at all I was getting pencil-thin bowel movements and that's all mucus congestion throughout the body and I had pain from head to toe that's proteins those are animal proteins animal proteins are very acidic and if they're not go on a fruit-based raw food diet for at least a month and have yourself a steak and tell me all your symptoms will start coming back when it comes to pain so you know just understand the basic chemistry here the acid and alkaline meat is very acidic it just is you check the pH balance of meat it's very bad and we need alkalinity and hydration and that's the thing in these keto paleo diets are very dehydrating to the body and so yeah people feel good on diets because they're these types of diets because they're all beast and because they are used to eating processed junk food and fast food and TV dinners so anybody coming off that type of program is gonna feel good on these fad diets but that's not adopt a fad diet let's regenerate our bodies let's get on the living food consciousness and of course keep it 100% plant-based where you're removing the dairy and you're removing the dead animal flesh and just watch your body regenerate and be patient fixing your body isn't going to take a couple of weeks you know and that's the thing is we live in a world today where everyone wants it now they just want to take pills and supplements and then enjoy their dead animals and these dead animals are suffering for no apparent reason whatsoever other than to to meet the pleasure of man and no one really even enjoys dead animals unless they pile on oil pile on salt pile on sugar pile on spice you can't enjoy it but fruits you can enjoy and their raw natural state properly ripe and picked always and it's the most nirvanic experience when you get quality fruit you don't have to add anything to them anything you have to alter and add on to it's just common sense it's not designed for us so just understand that our digestive system works best on water rich fruits we are a water based body so foods like meat that have no energetics and when it comes to ångstroms zero meat at zero and you just understand that fats are anti-inflammatory only because the lymphatic system is a lipid based system so when you're adding on fat it's just covering and suppressing but once the lymphatic system stops moving and you lose filtration you could only cover up acid which is inflammation in your body temporarily it's not but after a while you're you know when things get worse and worse because you're not removing the acid stagnation in the body then the fats are not going to cover up the inflammation any longer and that's why people crash and burn on the keto diets it doesn't last long term some people have freakish genetics and are able to do it long-term and they never really had serious health issues and it's just covering up inflammation in their joints that are is caused by the animal products in the first place but of course the process starches the processed meats and the process dairy is what's causing the real inflammatory conditions so removing a lot of that is going to give people benefits at some level but you don't want temporary benefits you want to get to the cause of the issue and that's to return back to your species specific diet and when you do that then you could cure the issue and train yourself to overcome these addictions to these putrefactive foods and so that we could have a higher consciousness in this world of not killing dead animals allowing them to live being their companions and loving them and getting rid of this slavery consciousness and this discrimination against specific animals and then treating other animals like complete angels like our dogs and our cats and our guinea pigs or whatever pets that you have your bird your parrot we treat them like royalty but we treat cows pigs chickens and fish like they're just products on a shelf but they're cooking like they're not that they don't exist we just put them on conveyor belts and they're being tortured and they have it's this is this is a vegan rant guys but just understand that it's just amazing how we can't come to terms and understand that we have nothing in our body that is designed for animal flesh we're not carnivores species we our digestive system eyes nothing like a carnivore species my phone's gonna die guys so I have to end this video anyways I'm getting on a rant but I just want to let you guys know I'll link the video in the description that don't fall prey to these these stupid useless diets you know we have all this funded propaganda on the keto diet nowadays it's getting popular than ever just understand that I've had a friend that had leukemia and it went into remission when he went on a raw food plant-based diet mainly she a lot of juices and when he fell off of that and got chemo and everything and then he stopped he stopped with that it came back and then I even at the time advised him to go on a keto diet when I was doing it because of all the research of how it sure's cancer he ended up dying very quickly it didn't do nothing for him because he needed to detox his lymphatic system and that diet didn't do that for him but prior he went into remission on a raw food diet so the raw food diet was heatless he was getting to the root cause of the problem he fell away from it started eating the standard American diet again it came back and then he tried a desperate route of growing keto and he ended up passing away unfortunately so I have I have experience with a buddy that didn't it didn't work out for him so all this stuff about how the keto cures cancer and all this crap it's just a load of crap it's only an elimination diet and that's why people are getting any benefits but we are a carbon-based species were designed for sugars period and you don't use a backup ketosis is the body's backup fuel because it's start your body's going into starvation mode so people don't last long especially skinny people on the keto diet they really don't last long you know maybe some overweight people will get good benefits when they lose a lot of that excess weight because they really don't even need to eat to get healthy just stop eating for a month and just drink liquids and they'll feel amazing so I'm gonna end this video it's getting really loud and obnoxious sorry guys I'll touch base with you soon and just always remember to get back to nature get back to the diet you're biologically designed to eat it's happened to your intuitive consciousness let your instincts to guide you I promise you my friends you'll thrive Aloha namaste peace .

Talking about how people get off track with fad diets that don’t get to the root of the problem but end up leaving a person in a state of temporary “success” and “temporary solutions” If we get on a diet designed for are species then we can cure health problems we suffer with. The diet your designed for will fix the damages causes from foods your not. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=479788502445928&substory_index=0&id=339792869778826&ref=page_internal
