Thanks, Siim. Great interview.
Could you interview someone whos animal based, so we could see hear someone with a opposite view. Great content as always.
I don’t care if someone eats plants or animals or a mix of both. That’s irrelevant. What’s relevant is outcomes from human studies. Like the ones Gil always references.
Gil is not a plant based or vegan. He spent like an hour here trying to nuance and not badmouth any particular diet unecessarily, and people are acting like he is promoting veganism.
Now do an interview with his rival which is Paul Saladino. Can’t believe he still recommends people cooking with canola oil😅
I’m generally turned off by the carnivore movement (and keto), but watching Paul Saladino what I eat in a day, it seems he has really evolved himself from a few years ago and stopped the anti-carb at least.
Why do think seed oils are bad? I feel as though it doesn’t matter if there are all these mechanisms and all that matters are outcomes, and the outcomes don’t show any health problems and often the opposite. We have our own bias and hopes that somehow “natural” is good and “unnatural” is bad, but we have to detach from that and accept maybe we’re wrong and that’s okay. It’s the same with everything, from microplastics to soy. Theoretically, it’s killing us. Theoretically even exercise is killing us. It causes oxidative stress, Inflammation, bone mineral loss, etc, yet when we follow people who do more exercise, they die less.
Would be more entertaining with Bart Kay.
@@erikahuxleyI think rationalwiki had a good article about Saladino and his everchanging, often inconsistent positions.
I know, right… the biggest problem with processed foods are these bad vegetable oils (seed oils)

Just cut out “”Manufactured”” Foods, and eat Natural.
Would you advice the same to a cow and to a lion even if they eat completely different things?
@@user-ud5sm2de4l you’re comparing Humans to Animals???
Should I waste a few secs of my time😂
@@soulabear9146 My point is that your advising to eat any type of food as soon as has not been manufactured, like if we were designed to eat anything. It happens that Homo Sapiens is an obligated carnivore, so eating just cutting “manufactured” is not enough.
@@user-ud5sm2de4l I said in my comment “eat Natural” its a BROAD range of Foods…BUT. ITS. NATURAL. AND. NOT. MANUFACTURED. 🍿
👀
gil a good one
Thank you for talking with actual scientists
lol, you mean a shill
@@erikahuxley elaborate please
@@erikahuxleythe only shill is you. Gil is a very fact based scientist unlike internet trolls like you.
“Vegetable oils .. the outcome is better..” was that a mistake? Misspoke ? Otherwise, overall,l fantastic debate.
Wait why “Canola” oil is healthy ? Are you sure ?
Not misspoken, on purpose. Look up the definition of astroturfing.
@@erikahuxleyyour name defines astroturfing. Crazy that some internet trolls attack a respectable scientist like Gil.
@@aritech1743canola oil is healthier than saturated fats. You always have to compare with something. Canola oil do not cause cholesterol to go up, and do not cause weight gain, and are not inflammatory, contrary to what you hear in the internet about it, when compared with saturated fat.
@@erikahuxleydon’t get it still- what does this guy have to do with promoting canola oil it’s not a brand or anything it’s a common commodity (soy?)
Ok, let’s follow the Carvalho’s scientific method explained in the video to try to discover cause and effect of sunburns in the summer:
1 – We select two cohorts in the same population. Cohort A has more sunburns than B. Let’s see the amount of ice-cream they eat.
2 – 90% of cohort A have eaten ice-cream. 45% of cohort B have eaten ice-cream.
3 – Let’s now do some adjustment models: Smoking, exercise and BMI.
Conclusion: Ice-cream is the CAUSE of sunburns in summer. Exercise and higher BMI is also associated with more sunburns. To reduce your RISK of sunburning: stop eating ice-cream, don’t exercise in summer and reduce your BMI.
…And this is exactly the method used by this guy to say that LDL is the cause of heart disease or that meat causes cancer. “Anecdotal” of people in keto and carnivore breaks that hypothesis, having zero plaque or cancer… but let’s say that it’s just “anecdotal”…science is broken because guys like Carvalho…
concerning LDL-C, for example, there are other types of studies and some interesting findings – Fernández-Friera et al (2017). Normal LDL-Cholesterol Levels Are Associated With Subclinical Atherosclerosis in the Absence of Risk Factors. Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 70(24), 2979–2991.
You’re clueless. Please don’t comment on lipidology from now on.
@@radmehrabdolahi1346 Why?
@@user-ud5sm2de4lbecause you are clueless about LDL and Gil. Gil is a credible researcher and very fact based, unlike trolls like you.
@@user-ud5sm2de4l What you’re describing isn’t the way that conclusions are drawn in science.
If the results indicated that ice cream was correlated with sunburn the first thing you would look at is where do these cohorts consume their ice cream.
At the beach or at home?
That’s the obvious place to start (along with other data) and then other studies would work from there.
Science is rational and doesn’t just jump to conclusions and recommendations based on just one study, so if it were indicated that ice cream causes sunburns then that would be an interesting outcome, and then there would be further studies to test that hypothesis.
If you have a friend who’s a scientist, then I recommend that you ask this question to them to see if they agree with me since you shouldn’t trust just some random bloke on the internet like me.
Very fact based guest 👍.
16:10 there is some more nuance on studies on *specific populations* though – the diet of Okinawans was fairly well documented (together with some of the positive outcomes), and then researchers followed a sample of Okinawans who migrated and therefore changed their diet (toward more Western-style, with the predictable decrease in positive outcomes) – so research design-wise there are some options that may produce sufficiently valid conclusions by using *quasi-experiments* rather than “real” experiments
you said more in one paragraph than this fraud tried to say in an hour. i went to time stamp 32:35 and was laughing at this Gil persons utter lack of communication skills.
@@unjaded2 with so much info floating around, one still needs to go to the *primary studies* and to other sources – then, informed by what one found, they can make their decision (and change their decision later if new and significant evidence warrants a change)
I’ve kind of narrowed it down…. avoid processed foods. Avoid excessive amounts of high glycemic load carbohydrates and excess fructose and alcohol. Avoid excessive saturated fat. Consume lean and high quality meats, lean dairy sources, with a diet rich in vegetables, nuts, legumes, shrooms (legal or otherwise) and omega 3 fatty acids. Some people might have allergies to certain foods (mostly plant foods) and need to avoid them, but the average person pushing for longevity should get their plants. Throw in zone 2/5 cardio and weight training (pull ups, bench press), proper amounts of sleep, good habits, friendship and laughter. A modest caloric deficit and low BMI are best.
Beware the carnivore and vegan fundamentalists with their black and white ideologies. They will tend to cherrypick studies to come to the conclusions they want you to find. Take supplemental Magnesium, and get enough glycine (or collagen) in your diet. Wear sunblock on your face and neck in the summer, if you want to age more gracefully with less wrinkles. Get enough dietary choline, so eat eggs and their yolks. Cut back sodium by using potassium chloride salt or 50/50 salt. I like Cavender’s Salt Free greek seasoning in the blue container. Seed oils are not inflammatory. Consume fresh oils on salads liberally preferably with a good 3/6/9 ratio like Olive. Life’s too short to not enjoy bacon from time to time…. just use common sense.
Real food, Whole food, and especially avoid the processed seed oils.
Hilarious all the cult based folks are losing their bowl content without even looking at this video 😂.
Relatively good from You both, however You !(both!!!) YOU are soooo behind the recommendations from Dr Greger/How Not To Age. Good luxk trying to catch up Dr Michael Greger!@
Lol. Michael Greger has only one outcome: plants only! Anything that is not 100% plants he dismisses. No matter what the outcome data from human studies says. He literally erases data in his screen shots that doesn’t fit his “no oil!”vegan agenda. According to him, olive oil causes disease while erasing next line that same temporary endothelial impairment is seen with sex and exercise which have long term good outcomes. He is just as bad as the carnivore clowns. Ideology based. Not outcome data based.
@@robertusga I have noticed the same concerning Dr. Greger – though there is a lot of evidence supporting a (predominantly) plant-based diet for many outcomes of interest, I cannot agree with not fully reporting the results encountered in primary studies – though it may be inconvenient to infer (from the study below, for example) that “healthier meat-eaters” do no worse on CVD than “healthier vegetarians,” ideological preferences should not preclude a complete reporting of such findings – Petermann-Rocha et al (2023). Do all vegetarians have a lower cardiovascular risk? A prospective study. Clinical Nutrition, 42(3), 269–276.
Or Dr Greger recommendations about how not to age don’t work or he is not applying on himself… he looks 10 years older that he is and quite fragile/unhealthy… maybe he should be eating more meat and cholesterol….
Follow Greger? Lol
@@DanXBoon adventists who are vegetarians(all types of vegetarians, not strict ones) live 2.5 years more than not vegetaarians. Its not much, but there is a difference.
Gil and SIIM collab woah i never thought id see this really dope and you did creative commons license very dope of you man Gil is awesome
How does statistical adjustment works? Does it take away outliers from the test and control group or does it put weights on certain ppl in the groups? Is there any good tutorial online to understand statistical adjustment?
It works at the convenience of the scientists to make the data match the pre-conclusion that they wanted to demonstrate.
Imagine you are doing a study on LDL levels on keto VS vegan, but you adjust by BMI removing fat people because they will obviously have more LDL “for other reasons”. Keto are never fat so you get the same population minus the muscled guys…. because BMI don’t differentiate between fat or heavy muscled… so most healthy athletic guys would be out. On vegans all the fat carbs eaters will be removed and the greens eaters will remain. This way carbs never won’t be blamed for raising LDL.
@@user-ud5sm2de4lsurely you cannot be this cynical, you’re basically implying all of nutrition science over the past decade is hogwash
@bedtimestory1318 I doubt someone could tell you that in a YouTube comment, that the sort of stuff you learn in college. epidemiology is what id recommend researching
@@humanoid8344 Epidemiology is NOT science. Eating ice-cream is not the cause of sunburns in summer. So yes, any nutrition association/correlation study over the past decade is hogwash or at least we can say that it’s not useful to take any conclusion by itself or by adding-up a pile of many studies of that kind. The only utility of these studies could be to refute hypothesis.
Statistics is a complex field, you cant just watch a video on YouTube and learn it.
Siim why you don’t take L carnosine
I don’t like that doctor. He gives the impression he’s on big seed oil.
in our age with rampant misinformation gil Carvalho is a real one for not succumbing to any ideologies and simply showing us the evidence.
he’s one of the figure who made me realize that I was lied too about saturated fat from many online influencers. After watching his videos I went from eating Paleo to eating medditarian style.
