It’s like the ancient Egyptians ate a “heart healthy” food pyramid diet. 🙂
Thank you for this educational video!
Just reinforces my switch to full carnivore.
Great talk. Very important to take a holistic approach of past human history and evolution through more than just a singular narrow perception of science to understand human physiology and nutrition.
Classic. Learned this in first-year anthropology. Shocking that this is news to the medical community.
Ask an engineer… after Dave Feldman & Michael Eades, my new motto.
Dr. Michael Eades should definitely go on Wise Traditions podcast sometime as a guest. I would like to hear a in depth discussion on the historical origins of low carb diet.
It’s always fascinating to see the science that proves humans have been eating as much meat as we could get for as long as we’ve been on this planet.
Brilliant. Simple and to the point. All we need to do now is change what is taught at medical school and dietetic school, plus change worldwide dietary guidelines so that the present and future generations will enjoy significantly better health.
Apart from what he says – I like the way he presents it- with bit of wit!
Excellent presentation 👏
What a funny and eloquent speaker Dr. M. Eades is. I enjoy learning about the human dietary evolution situation. The challenge is to entice others into being curious learners of the proper human diet. 2024 is the year for that work.
Very interesting presentation, thank you!
great presentation
I really enjoyed this. It further confirms what I have come to believe.
This talk is a gem
Excellent explanation 👏👏
I hope to be as healthy as Dr. Eades when I’m his age. He is a poster senior for LCHF living
Egyptians were also addicted to honey, which is loaded with fructose. Richard Johnson says fructose is the main driver of heart disease…
Very interesting and well presented! I thought that the ancient elites (royalty and priesthood) consumed more meat than the average civilian bc of the animal sacrifices and hunting privilege. That’s why I am surprised about the findings in the royal mummies.
