Q & A
Do eggs cause heart disease according to the video?
-No, the video states that eggs do not cause heart disease, not even the yolk which contains cholesterol.
What is the impact of eggs on total cholesterol levels as mentioned in the video?
-Eggs do not raise total cholesterol levels, as clarified in the video.
How do eggs affect good cholesterol (HDL) levels?
-Eggs do not decrease good cholesterol (HDL) levels; in fact, they raise HDL levels according to the video.
Are cage-free eggs healthier than those from caged chickens?
-Yes, cage-free eggs are considered better for you, as they have a better lipid profile with more polyunsaturated fatty acids and less saturated fatty acids.
What is the recommended number of eggs per week to decrease cardiovascular risk based on the video?
-Eating four to seven eggs per week can decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease, especially if you are on a plant-based diet.
How does the consumption of eggs affect muscle and fat according to the video?
-Eggs can increase muscle mass and decrease fat, potentially helping with muscle gain and fat loss.
Does egg consumption affect the risk of diabetes?
-No, eggs do not cause diabetes; they may actually decrease insulin resistance, fasting glucose, A1C, and HbA1c levels.
What is the impact of eggs on hunger levels?
-Eggs can decrease hunger by reducing the impact and function of ghrelin on the bloodstream.
How does the way eggs are cooked affect their nutritional benefits?
-Different cooking methods offer different benefits. For example, hard-boiled eggs improve protein digestibility, poached eggs improve protein and lipid digestion, and omelettes improve vitamin A and D3 absorption.
What is the significance of the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio in eggs from free-range chickens?
-Eggs from free-range chickens have a better lipid profile with more omega-3 fatty acids and less omega-6, which is considered healthier.
How does the consumption of eggs affect the risk of stroke?
-Eating one egg a day may decrease the risk of stroke, although this is based on one study and should be taken with caution.
What is the recommended cooking method for eggs to improve vitamin D3 absorption?
-Poached and omelette cooking methods can improve vitamin D3 absorption, with omelettes being the best option for vitamin A absorption.
What is the video's stance on the saturated fat content in eggs and bacon?
-The video suggests that saturated fat in the diet, including from eggs and bacon, may not be as problematic as previously thought, and recent evidence is starting to support this.
How does the video address the concern about low blood glucose levels on a low-carb diet?
-The video advises that low blood glucose levels are not a concern unless they cause symptoms. It suggests avoiding rapid sugar intake and instead opting for slow-acting starches with fiber.
What does the video suggest about the consumption of raw eggs?
-The video advises against consuming raw eggs due to the risk of salmonella and other infections, despite the nutritional value being similar to cooked eggs.
How does the video discuss the impact of fructose on health?
-The video mentions that high fructose consumption, particularly from high fructose corn syrup, can lead to fat accumulation in the liver and is associated with negative health effects.
What is the video's opinion on the use of CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) for tracking blood glucose levels?
-The video supports the use of CGM for tracking blood glucose levels, especially for those who are fat-adapted or on a low-carb diet, to avoid hypoglycemic symptoms.

Transcripts
you've probably heard that eggs are not
the healthiest food because they have
too much cholesterol therefore you'll
develop heart
disease however if you watch YouTube
plenty of people say just the opposite
thing that eggs are healthy for your
heart now the egg is really considered a
perfect food not just a perfect protein
eggs are are known to be the number one
superfood human beings have eaten the
eggs of birds including chickens you
better have some good research if you're
going to tell me that eggs are suddenly
bad the question is do eggs cause these
three things and the answer is no they
don't my opinion the yoke is definitely
a go so who is right the academics or
the YouTubers we dug a little bit deeper
here's what we found out
so welcome today if you haven't guessed
it we're talking about eggs and the
shocking truth about eggs and heart
disease I'm going to go ahead and give
away a few things but there's a lot more
in fact there's 19 things that we found
as we started digging deeper and these
19 things you're not going to find on
other YouTube
channels but I'm going to give give you
a couple of spoilers the first one is no
eggs do not cause heart disease not even
the Yellow Part the Yol the cholesterol
part they don't do
it number two eggs don't raise your
total
cholesterol number three eggs don't
decrease your good cholesterol good
cholesterol your
HDL another one
in fact they raise
HDL and another one cagefree eggs really
are a lot better for you they
are
now let's get into the rest of the facts
that you're just not going to find on
YouTube Hey
Seuss hey everybody it's very nice to be
back after the success we have had on
recent videos thank you so much for your
support and as Dr Brewer mentioned we
went a little bit deeper into the
science especially on the latest
evidence to find out what else is there
and just to help Dr Brewer answer the
question on the intro I think both
academics and uh YouTubers are right
just it depends on what a specific point
I even saw a couple of hardboard
Articles and Mayo Clinic articles going
going back to say it's not saturated
fats and the X are a good thing to do
but all as usual they're going to say in
moderation of course so let's go dive in
into the evidence real quick we're
trying to simplify this I read those
articles so you don't have to and thank
you Aspen helping us send setting this
up because I fail miserably whenever I
try to adjust the image so this is the
first article we found this is from last
year a review of multiple multiple
research and I'm going to put you there
the conclusions of this review and I'm
going to ask Dr Brewer for his opinion
number one XS increase muscle decrease
decrease fat and might sound this might
sound like obvious that it avoids muscle
M loss so with X you will actually have
better chances to build more muscle and
burn fat
instead I'm going to go through the ones
that I found this article and then we go
to Dr Brewer number two XG don't
increase risk actually eggs can decrease
cardiovascular risk and in other
articles I'm want to show you how many
eggs you need to eat to get this benefit
number three eggs don't cause diabetes
they actually can decrease insulin
resistance they can decrease fasting
glucose A1C and H IR which is what they
use on the research so another point for
x and number four x can decrease hunger
because they decrease the impact and the
function of grin on the bloodstream
according to multiple
research um Dr bre wanna want to give
your opinion on this one the the first
four points yeah one through three I'm
clearly a big believer in I think eggs
are really good for you um the I haven't
seen the literature quite so much on the
Gin thing that is very interesting and I
wouldn't be
surprised well actually if if I can go a
little bit this this review even though
it's not a met analysis which will be
the best option uh they included
observational studies they included
randomized control trials and I wanted
to bring this point real quick before we
continue observational studies look at
population so the advantage is you
can uh investigate on a lot of people
hundreds of thousands of people but the
catch is it's harder to make a point
that something is causing something it's
hard to make the point that this is
causing this and a lot of these findings
come from randomized control trials
where you can have better chances to say
this causes this
but um it's a smaller samples of
people but still I think the evidence is
strong enough to to to do this CLA to
make these claims let me let me try to
translate oh yeah please do and this is
not Spanish to English this is more
epidemiologist to the public world so
what you're I think what you're saying
is
this uh it's a little bit difficult to
look at a specific item like what we
what you just mentioned eggs and
uh
um this topic because you're just not
going to see that many specific
randomized clinical trials on
it if you don't then the metaanalysis is
going to struggle to create that
specific
connection on on the other hand so then
then you end up depending more on not
metaanalyses which is the you know like
the biggest thing we'd want to have but
on randomized clinical trials is that
what you're saying yeah and I'm also
making the point that population Studies
have the advantage that they can study
more
people compared to randomized control
trials that study less people but on a
randomized control trial is more
controlled so the results are more
reliable so bottom line is both
population uh uh studies as well as meta
an analyses have a lot more power than a
single individual randomized clinical
trial however the population studies
don't have the the control so they miss
out on some of the things there es and
the metaanalyses don't have the number
of randomized clinical trials when
you're looking at eggs and gin that's a
very Niche thin
item exactly okay we'll probably beat
that up enough let's go to the next
points and we're gonna but it's
important because it's an introduction
to the next points this is another
review there are like two groups of
researchers said we're going to study X
and some of them published on May and
the other ones published on June last
year in this
review first thing and we're talking
about this right
now Point number seven only
observational studies suggest increase
on cardiovascular risk but there is no
linear dose response let me translate it
for you so it has to do with what we
just mentioned population studies and
observational studies where you're just
watching data from people you're not
controlling the data that's the data
that is available you you're not
generating that you might be able to
measure tons of people but it's going to
be impossible to say based on that
evidence that this is causing this that
X are causing car disease because there
are more multiple risk factors around
those people that you're are not able to
control and when you see a nolinear Dos
response meaning more eggs cause more
heart disease that's not what's going on
so when you don't have the dose response
you cannot say that a is causing B do
you want to translate that
Dr
um yeah I actually wanted found myself
thinking of an example but when I give
this example there's going to be a lot
of people throwing rotten eggs at me
well your examples confuse me more than
what they help so let's keep moving okay
I won't give that
example number eight eating one egg a
day decreases the risk of stroke
now just take this with a pinch of salt
because the decrease is moderate it's
based on one study only but that's a
it's a good point and I think it makes
sense
number nine egg consumption in Asia is
related to better
lifestyle it's the opposite on the US
and let me let me tell you what they
Define as Lifestyles you will agree with
some stuff you will not agree with some
stuff good lifestyle according to the
authors increase physical
activity no
smoking and the third Point not eating
saturated fats oh talk about talk about
throwing rotten eggs they're going to
get a lot for that aren't they well
that's what the study said I and I think
there's some truth to that uh I don't
necessarily agree with the saturated
fats 100% but it's also clear that if
you don't have a healthy lifestyle and
you're relying on eggs to decrease your
cardiovascular risk there's some there's
definitely something
missing I have to say this to uh maybe
save save us from getting a lot of
rotten eggs I agree with with
um I think that there is no damage
associated with saturated
fats um just from what I've seen in the
literature and I realize this is a
little bit of a digression but again
it's I think a little bit of an
interpretation saturated fats wore such
a Bugaboo for such a long time everybody
thought saturated fats were bad so the
only people that ate saturated fats were
people that ignored all the other health
activi
like cigarettes and exercise and
maintaining a good weight so it actually
may be become more of a an
indicator uh a signal of somebody who's
not got a poor lifestyle rather than
something that's actually causing
damage so you're saying that X kind of
like R me became es scapegoats for this
and an indicator of somebody that wanted
to ignore their lifestyle rather than
something that was actually doing any
biological
damage oh yeah and that happens with any
food we posted a video about top seven
foods and you can eat all those seven
foods but if you're not doing lifestyle
changes I don't know if that's really
going to help yeah next study I really
like this one uh this is a more specific
study this is this is a cohort study so
it's still observational though so take
that as it is it's the Attic
study this is what they found
out number 10 eating four to 7x per week
can decrease the risk up to
75% but only only if you're on a
plan-based diet oh that's what they're
saying saying
that that's interesting that's a point
for the carnivores isn't
it
well well I I I think I think this
strikes both ways if you're plan if you
are plan based and avoiding X you are
missing out and if you only eating eggs
and eating carnivore alone well I'm just
saying there's one paper that says that
eggs have better benefit better benefit
if you're including plants I'm just
quoting the research don't be the
messenger and and on a serious note what
what that I think makes most of
us assume or think is this maybe there
is something in a an animal uh
diet that eggs also
provide and if you're not getting any
other animal uh diet
components you if you're if you're
eating other animal products then you
don't need what's in the egg as much but
if you're not eating any other animal
products maybe there's something in that
egg that you really need
it definitely
am I am I overstating the
obvious you're preaching to acquire but
that's okay sometimes that's needed so
let me tell you one more thing about
these research papers I'm pretty
confident that most of these papers are
not
necessarily um supporting carnivore diet
because of saturated fats they still
think saturated fats is is a bad thing
and even with that kind of perspective
they're showing benefits of X that's
that's what I wanted to kind of
emphasize here so in other words even
though most of the authors are carrying
a most of the authors of the of the
articles are carrying a filter that
saturated fats are bad they're still
finding eggs are good is that what say
exctly right exactly
right so number 11 eating one to three
eggs a week has the same
effect if there is a diet with more
saturated fat from other sources so what
they were saying is if you want to reach
the 75% risk reduction risk red risk
reduction you need to eat four to seven
eggs if you are on a plant-based diet if
you're on a different diet let's say
carnivore diet The Sweet Spot is one to
3x a week plus your other protein
sources is that a strong an even
stronger statement almost a dose
response curve saying
that yeah saying that there's
something I'm glad you catch that
immediately yeah that well you know I
did do a little bit of this long ago but
basically what what you're saying is
it's and for those of those who are uh
not getting the point a dose response
curve is a very very strong um statement
of um
perhaps causality but at least an
association um and the point here is
this is you put these two these last two
points together and again it makes an
even stronger statement that there's
something in an animal diet that is
probably
helpful even for uh authors carrying
a a filter scientists carrying a filter
that saturated fats are
bad even admitting this exactly right
and
um I think they also relying on
moderation number 12 eating less than
one egg a week increases the risk of
obesity high blood pressure and
cholesterol so this is a very
interesting finding also it has to do
with the micronutrients and all the
other components not just the lipid
profile of the egg
and look at this last Point increasing
consumption of eggs of one week a week
like for each egg for each additional
egg that you eat on a week you can
decrease your cardiov cardiovascular
risk up to
45% within a decade because I forgot to
mention this this study was following
people for 10
years so even though it's a cohor study
they didn't necessarily do something
they tried to do some statistics to
change the impact from different factors
this is what they found this is what
they came up with seven exper week
that's The Sweet Spot one week one egg a
week and if you're just eating one egg
or two eggs each additional egg will
increase your
benefit so you got up to 45% within
within with the seven eggs per week or
one per day exactly
right very
interesting and before we continue I
want to do an open invite Gilbert can
you show that graph that I mentioned of
course I'm going to do the classic click
the like button subscribe share all of
that stuff uh recently I'm leaning more
on two keep watching our videos that
supports the channel and the next part
is if you are fed up with the
cardiovascular prevention care that
you're getting give us a call 859 72114
one4 or visit breadman hell.com we have
a team trained by Dr Brewer that will be
able to help you out that's it for for
ad advertisement let's go to that's our
sponsor for today prmit just so you know
so April
2024 uh this is a study where they
compared fatty acid profile in egg jol
on late age
hands on free range versus caged chicken
so is it real is is it a reality that
free range eggs or free range chicken
that lay eggs those eggs are better than
the ones are from caged chicken this is
what they found out Point number 14 old
chickens lay good
eggs let's hear it for old old
people and then the other point that I
got from this article xegs from free-
range chickens have a better lipid
profile now this is this is is what
where where it gets interesting how they
Define better profile better lipid
profile for them was more polum
saturated fatty acids and less saturated
fatty acids and let me tell you which
fatty acids they found they found lenol
Lake
acid
DHA
EPA and another one another another
uh six chain poof I don't remember the
name right now I put I put it down here
even the chemistry names are hard for me
doosa exoic
acid uh that's the ha lolic acid yeah
yeah DPA that's the other one doosa
pentanoic acid DPA so the thing here is
similar to the omega-3 over the omega-3
and Omega Omega 6 Omega-3 ratio which is
supposed to be 4 to one or less meaning
if you eat a lot of sixth uh the bond on
the number six
chain uh or
or Omega 6 fatty acids if you want to
see that that that it's simpler if you
eat a lot of Omega 6 compared to
Omega-3s That's not healthy but they
they what they did watch on this is what
even though there's some omega sixes on
the X the the relation the ratio was
lower than four to one meaning it has a
way way it has way more omega-3 fatty
acids that's the whole point so free
range eggs have a lot of omega-3 fatty
acids so I butcher that yeah ahead I got
a question the you are you listening un
has a question about he or she heard
that all eggs except for pasture raised
has an Omega 6-3 ratio of 23:1 please
expound and I think you just did I think
you said look they need to be
grass-fed oh yeah not grass they
well there multiple things that's
actually the point of the Artic but bugs
exactly right you got you did ex exact
great uh uh
observation uh free range they're eating
way more than just grass yeah and eating
bugs they're very high on protein also
helps and of course it seems obvious
it's better than just eating all that
grain products that uh cage chicken eat
so uh I just wanted to make the point
because a lot of people are think think
that polyunsaturated fats are bad but it
has to do with the ratio if you have a
lot of Omega-3s compared to Omega sixes
that's still a good thing to do and
there's still that part A lot of people
know this the color of the jolk is
different from free range to Cas chicken
and I think I saw Dr bur on one of those
videos saying that they're putting
colorant on those chickens I don't know
I don't know if that's that's a fact I I
don't I haven't done due diligence on
that but if you if you know where your
eggs are coming from and those are free
range that's probably a better option
that's the bottom
line very
true okay let's keep
moving this is this is a little bit
older but this is the most recent
evidence that I found regarding how to
cook an
egg and the way they did this was very
interesting because they were not able
to test this on hum humans itself what
they did was to use in betro on the LA
all the substances that are on the
stomach and the intestine the acids and
all the proteins and enzymes that come
from elder population and test how all
those Chemicals React to X prepared in a
different way so it's not an inbio
inperson study this is a lab
study take a look at the
results number 16 in elderly which which
is where this all these chemicals came
from hardboiled eggs improve protein
digestibility because the enzymes are
able to break apart all the protein and
turn that into amino acids to be
absorbed better that's for hardboiled
eggs if you do poached eggs those also
can improve the protein and lipid
digestion because they mixture really
good with all these enzimatic and fluids
from from the gut to be digested so
doesn't it doesn't have to break the
protein it can just go in go inside
easily number 18 poached and omelet can
improve vitamin D3
absorption and omelet version is the
best option to improve vitamin A
absorption so there's a caveat is not
there's just not one way to cook them uh
it depends on what you want to
achieve any any remarks based on this Dr
Brewer that you have no I'm looking at
that thinking I'd probably like
omelettes which I like
anyway oh yeah I like omelettes too but
I'm starting to do some hard boil decks
too as well poach decks I'm not a big
fan
though me either all right so that's
what we have for eggs and cardiovascular
risk uh Rec videos I Dr Brewer knows
this I've been very emotional with the
last videos because I have done the
number one mistake that you shouldn't do
on YouTube which is oversee the comment
section
and we have a lot of people that're
saying oh this doctor just doesn't get
to the point on one of on the latest
videos just tell us what you want and I
think that's just the dopamine addiction
wanted to know the answer right away so
so we are feeding a little bit on that
dopamine uh addiction but we also want
to give you information that you can use
we're trying to adjust ourselves from
the just very geeky technical things and
then you decide to this is a practical
tip that you need to decide you want to
do and it's always based on evidence and
the research will be on the description
if you want to read on it any closing
remarks any closing remarks on eggs Dr
Brewer uh not on eggs but what you just
said you know our original the original
focus of the um YouTube and we haven't
change that um maybe it's because we're
slow maybe it's because we're study but
maybe it's because we feel very strongly
about it and that is you see much you
see so much trash on YouTube uh you see
folks spouting what will make them more
money spouting what they think sounds
right spouting a bunch of other things
as true facts and the reality is facts
are based on evidence and I think the
public deserves to get the real evidence
so that's what we're doing now one of
the things we found early on is the real
evidence can sound kind of dry and dull
and boring so what we're trying to do
now is not so much ask the questions
that we think are interesting because
those can be dry dry and dull and boring
but focus on the questions that the
Public's asking and then try to bring
the the the good evidence to that
speaking of good evidence speaking of
good evidence there's really really good
evidence that eggs are good for you
and uh pasture raised bug
fed uhh chickens even older ones give
you a
really point point point for aging right
there there you go all right so uh let's
go to our uh now traditional Q&A section
Gilbert
[Music]
[Music]
I I think Gilbert missed the memo that I
wanted to make that shorter uh can do it
next time shout out to Christine
who just became a YouTube member
remember uh if you want to get your
questions answers F answered first
become a YouTube member because the
answer Nat is right here uh you can see
right there no answer for you if you are
familiar with the show sanfield no sub
for you no answer for you if not a
YouTube member we're going to do our
best but I try to organize and make sure
to answer as much as possible and we
have limited time so you will have you
will have an icon next to your name yeah
and as usual I'm already answering by uh
answering a few in writing a few of
these non-members I'm doing the best I
can all doing that instead of focusing
on the show oh I'm
sorry kid Lawson good morning from
Arizona good morning Kei so uh the egg
is multivitamin yeah I mean we didn't go
deep into the vitamins and the
components on the egg you can see that
elsewhere uh you can talk about coling
and carotenoids and lootin and accent in
as as can you pronounce that for me
aen I'm sorry it's hard in Spanish it's
even harder in English but uh at the end
our pigments that are related to many
benefits from eggs that's that's what
we're saying it's not just
cholesterol and Anthony Garcia uh got
morning Dr Brewer quite a compliment
quite a compliment good morning to you
too Anthony and Richard milella good
morning from northern
Arizona Tech
adsr true for well-designed rcts
randomized control trials can be
designed to show whatever the funding
source wants that's TR but I can tell
you this this research that I found uh
at least from what I saw I don't think
that was funded by anyone like anyone
with with those uh necessary uh
perspectives but the description in the
description will find the links if I'm
if I'm wrong let me know and I will
guarant guarantee that the chickens
didn't fund it oh no well of course the
egg industry might have some may might
have some some some interest in there
Chris linky my blood sugar is normally
slightly elevated in the morning usually
120 to 140 sometimes
higher uh let me see if this is a
continuation recently at the gym I uh
and I started feeling weird likee headed
kind of foggy feeling blood sugar was 66
now never been that low before I am not
on no diabetic meds but do supplements
been low carb and it it's more doing low
carb for four years getting too low
something to worry about on a low carb
diet so basically the question is should
you be worried about low glucose levels
in the morning on a low Corp diet if
you're starting to feel some
symptoms yeah you just want to avoid the
symptoms um it's actually a good thing
when you start to hit some of these
lower levels especially if you're
wearing a CGM continuous glucose monitor
and especially if you're seeing those
lower levels 60s and even 50s between
midnight and 6:
a.m. now the thing that you want to
avoid is symptoms so um you might want
to get you might want to slow if you're
having symptoms that are dangerous for
example uh when I started getting fat
adapted a couple of times I was out
writing bicycles on the road and started
getting a little bit
hypoglycemic um I started carrying
something in my pocket like a cheese
stick or something like that um to help
slow down those symptoms because you
don't want to wreck your bike in front
of a car run into a car you don't want
to run your car into into something
because you're having a hypo glycemic
episode exactly right and it
also I I think there's a roll on insulin
on that there's some circadian rhythms
involved and I wanted to show you
something but I don't know I don't know
if I'm going to be able to let me give
it a shot bear with me with for one
minute oh yeah that looks like your CGM
pull it back about a foot it's at 96
there you go that's better but do you
see do you see that red red line right
there I do where you dipped below your
where you want your you dipped below
your parameters where
did that was 68 in the morning and those
spikes that you see there one of those
was after tuna with some uh corn that I
wanted to test corn and a banana oh the
second Spike was one banana went to 16
so what I wanted to mean I wanted to say
with that is oh and probably you didn't
catch that in the morning but my um
glucose went to like for from 68 to
something closer to 90 after I exercise
in the morning a little
bit but that's the point it's kind of
usual to have low levels of glucose when
you are fat adapted but it's not it's
not the best thing to have symptoms uh
so you for that especially if you're I
mean you you probably have been low car
for years uh there's more to see on
that uh Anthony Garcia cagefree organic
pasture race eggs are perfect food I
have seen that ratio as low as 1.1
omega3 Omega 6 omega3 ratio yes I think
I think the evidence supports that thank
you very much Anthony and you see in
that picture he's sitting in the cockpit
of a very big
airplane H is he uh let me see I I'm
trying to get some glasses that don't
reflect the lighting so I don't see good
all right yeah he is well it's evident
that he's a
pilot now Joey t if cholesterol is not a
problem then how does eating no sugar
bacon compared to eggs does eating bacon
increase cardiovascular risk Dr bur do
might want to tackle this one I'm going
to say one thing that I
did that I
changed I used to get some bacon from
the supermarket that was
supposedly organic very low carb which
should have raise the alarms at the
moment cook it get some of that oil and
use that to cook my egg
stop that because I haven't found a good
source from bacon so I think the only
problem with bacon will be if it is just
too processed I don't know what you
think about that yeah they you do see
some processing with nitrites and that
and the nitrites is a little bit of a
problem but the but I'm going to put the
nitrites issue aside for a second and
basically talk about the saturated fats
so Joey T the eggs are the question for
for eggs are are cholesterol and some
adma and a couple of other things but
the real question the real comparison
here is eggs and cholesterol and bacon
and saturated fat and we mentioned
saturated fat a couple of times already
in the show saturated fat used to have a
very bad reputation just like
cholesterol had um it took decades for
people to
recognize yeah you may find cholesterol
in the arteries of the wall for people
that have plaque but eating cholesterol
doesn't create that now you're having to
go through that same process in the
science and the evidence with saturated
fat yeah saturated fat May on our bodies
may cause US problems body fat but
saturated fat in the diet may not be as
problematic as everybody used to think
in fact there have been a couple of
really good metaanalyses that came out
uh there were were published in the um
in Jack Journal of the American College
of Cardiology and a couple of other
places I personally think the evidence
is going to uh end up going in that
direction and show that saturated fat
does not cause health
problems thank you Dr Burr Chris link is
I think he's asking about the blood
glucose how low is too
low well it's again Chris it's not quite
so much how low is too low um I've woken
up at 2: or 3 in the morning a few times
with blood sugars by the CGM at least in
the 50s and felt just fine um so don't
do what some of our patients have done
and that is oh my gosh my blood sugar's
50 I'm G to go eat a bunch of Oreos
that's not that's unless unless you want
to decrease your LDL you're M hyper M
hyperon but um again it's not so much
avoiding uh those numbers you know I'd
get I'd get nervous uh 50 and below for
sure but it's really not so much a
number as it is symptoms you want to
avoid hypoglycemic
symptoms yeah what what what do you
suggest to eat on those cases because we
you and I have come a long way onto
deciding yeah uh maybe you want to have
some breakfast uh and if you're doing
intermittent fasting put your window of
fasting on the late evening uh but what
would you suggest as to have for
breakfast if you're feeling symptoms
that your blood glucose is too low
because in Mexico I can tell you the
first thing they will do is to go grab a
Coca-Cola yeah and yeah but that's not
what you want to do and that's the
typical thing that you hear when people
say oh your blood sugar's low take some
sugar well taking sugar is just going to
put you on a roller coaster it's going
to go way up real fast and then way back
down again um no I if you want to get
some sugars I would get more of a of a
slow acting starch with a lot of fiber
in it
um as I mentioned before uh I tended to
carry uh cheese you know something like
a cheese with me because it had both fat
and a protein in yeah and and fructose
haters are not going to agree with me
and believe me I'm the first one on beat
up on apples but I'll even eat an apple
on my case because I have tested that an
apple will not Spike my blood sugar that
hard I definitely based on my experience
yesterday I want eat a banana
so yeah both our sugar sources the fiber
on those is different and of course you
don't want to eat that much fructose
either but if you're feeling symptoms
also you might want to find out if
there's anything else if this is because
of the blood glucose or there's another
vitamin deficiency going
around Anthony Garcia sharing with us he
likes the X over easy how is that is
that for the X well I'm
assuming I don't know what it is sort of
like frying an egg except you
um I don't I'm not a chef don't let me
go there I'll mess that up and Anthony
Garcia is asking about eating raw eggs
the problem with raw eggs is not so much
the nutrition because the evidence shows
that you can get the same nutritional
value the problem is the infection
salmonella and other stuff so you want
to cook them you want to cook them
either either if those are poached over
easy omelette or hard boil because the
nutrition value is going to be the same
no matter what that's been study too I I
want eat it raw yeah I would agree and
the same thing goes for meats you know a
lot of people it's very popular to eat
raw meats I even tried that a couple of
times years ago with bacon and the
problem is there's too many sources
sources of uh infections uh even with
with Meats even with worms uh even with
bacon so be very very careful about
eating raw meat or raw eggs or any
yeah I remember on my um microbiology
classes I I'll never forget this I think
that's the only thing that I remember
clearly from those
classes uh the teacher said I never eat
my steak
raw because of I the pronunciation is
correct sister
sosis it's a parasite that can go from
your gut to your brain
be there and cause a ton of issues so I
always get got my steak really uh well
cooked Sher Smith eggs are the fast food
of the healthy world yeah well those are
easy to get uh unless there are some
crisis they're usually cheap when I feel
like hated I increase my sodium intake
yeah that's a good option maybe blood
pressure not just blood glucose Brad my
health insurance change they will not
kick in for CGM because I'm not on
insulin yeah the system is broken yeah
uh deom is working on a over the counter
but I don't know how far they have gone
in there I've never had an insurance
company pay for
my uh
CGM yeah Brad XR my staple food glad to
hear that take adsr no Nick norst I
think presented that recent paper
showing cholesterol from diet reduce the
body's cholesterol production yes and we
didn't go too deep into that because
that's evidence that's out there already
like it's clear that dietary cholesterol
doesn't impact or doesn't increase blood
cholesterol actually might even decrease
it and we're familiar with Nick we we
had we had him on the show multiple
times by now we are very fans we're
we're big fans of his work Anthony
Garcia I usually cook with bacon fat to
increase my saturated fat intake with my
ex for years my biomarkers have improved
I I do the same thing I'm just trying to
find the best B Source soft joke X of
course and
Rick that's oh thank fry them and you
keep the the Yol soft thank you so much
I recently saw a podcast where Dr ltic
implied that fructus consumption
wouldn't register on a CGM since only
only measures glucose that's correct we
agree with that actually the big problem
with fructose is fat and
liver that's why that's why uh do lastic
is so high on avoiding fructose and the
backlash is a lot of people are saying
well fruits are safe I'm going to give
you a spoiler from our latest video If
you haven't seen it the worst meal that
cloged your
arteries oranges raw oranges have been
associated with fat liver too so we're
not saying don't don't eat fruit we're
saying be careful of which fruits you
eat and how much that's the whole point
and avoid process High
serum uh High I always struggle with
that high fructose syrup corn syrup corn
syrup high fructose corn syrup it was
invented what I'm gonna write it dozens
40 or 50 years ago and then it became
like the fructose is addictive I mean it
it hits places in the nucleus accumbens
that other places other sugars don't hit
it's uh it's bad news
really really bad news and guess what it
tastes sweeter than other
sugars so guess what it's really easy to
access guess what it's just all it is
one of the favorite additives to
processed foods for big
food if they can look for for a reason
to put high fructose corn syrup in that
Food they'll do it and it will and it
will addict you
plus all the emulsifiers and cleaning
agents and all that stuff anyhow I'm
digressing forward Westside we we miss
you for uh haven't been here in a while
wanted to say hello welcome back uh it's
a different thing that you what you will
see now compared to where we were in the
past Dr Burr I'm I don't know what you
think I think this is a good time to
stop uh you are on vacation people might
not be aware of that uh so any closing
REM marks for today's show you know what
my closing remark always is well you
need a better one thank you for your
interest well you're the new content
manager so you'll have to give come up
with a better one yeah I don't know
which one we're going to use this yet
but we'll see you next week guys thank
