70. The Health Risks Of An Animal Based Diet... What Current Studies Tell Us

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

QUICK NOTES FROM ZANE:

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

QUICK EPISODE SUMMARY

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