After a year of being on keto I discovered I was eating a very high amount of oxalates in the form of almond flour biscuits, almond butter, spinach, dark chocolate, and tea. I was aware of oxalates causing kidney stones, but did not know oxalates also accumulate throughout the tissues of the body. This causes many painful conditions including fibromyalgia,joint, bladder, and vulvar pain. Also, eliminating oxalates from your diet is a process called "oxalate dumping" that can cause itchy rashes and other strange symptoms. I had a rash when I was sick and couldn't eat much for a few weeks. Pretty sure this was the cause. This is a not adequately addressed by keto proponents. I would like to see warning labels on high oxalate foods! I am ketovore now, working on purging the oxalates.

Cacao is very complex, maybe the most on this list. If you go to base ingredients, no dutch process, no sugar, no separation and recombination of solids and fats, the pharmacology is fairly complex and poorly understood just from a psychoactive perspective. What I can say is it won't make you fat, you'll net lose weight. I actually became underweight eating a lot of it, and wasn't overweight to start with. Most of the loss seemed to be fat stores but I didn't really use any metrics or have an established baseline.

Thank you for telling the truth and not sugar coating crap the way pill pushers do.
Nuts & seeds are supposed to be soaked (like dry beans) and/or sprouted for maximum nutrient absorption & neutralizing anti-nutrients... Also, roasted or cooking them (especially under high heat) and long-term storage afterwards will create rancidity, and hence same major issue as seed oils
When Jeanne Calment died in 1997 at age 122, Guinness World Records-certified, reporters recounted her secret to longevity: a diet that included more than two pounds of chocolate a week, as well as the occasional glass of Port wine, and lots of olive oil. Sister Andre, who died at 118, also ate a fair amount of chocolate and wine. Both of which could be good sources of polyphenols!

@Mike Collon I never heard of a carnivore MD over 90. In fact, I never heard of a carnivore over 90. There are cultures and people that eat a fair amount of meat have good longevity, but they also tend to eat lots of fruits and vegetables as well. There are a fair amount of people that are plant based or that are mostly plant based over the age of 90. Strict carnivore is bit of a gamble because it is a new diet. That may be one reason why we have no known carnivores over 90. Native tribes that follow diets close to carnivorism die early and do not have good longevity. That's a fact. Though that could be due largely in part to unsanitary conditions or lack of modern medicine. Exercise is major component of longevity and may be more important or equally important than diet. Many of the carnivores seem to realize this. So perhaps we may see carnivores having longevity in the distant future. Only time will tell.

He doesn't really mention oxalates. I'm suspicious of Dr Baker. He sounds like he's teetering from pure carnivore. He's going more in the way of Saladino with the style of videos.

@@mikieemiike3979 What are you talking about? He specifically says there are oxolates in seeds preventing the absorption of nutrients @1:45 in this video. And he isn't teetering away from anything. He has ALWAYS told people not to be dogmatic and to eat whatever they want as long as it doesn't directly negatively affect them. It's the same message he's been pushing for years. Also, he keeps reiterating that his diets hasn't changed. Saladino was constantly changing his diet. In fact, I saw a recent interview with Baker where he basically calls out Saladino (not by name) by saying that it was probably his over consumption of organ meats giving him vitamin and mineral toxicities which were then alleviated by eating fruits which blocked some of those vitamins and minerals from being absorbed. Maybe you just need to pay more attention to what people are ACTUALLY saying.

@@KurNorock That's true. Forgot about him calling out People like Saladino. However, I don't know who began accusing folks of dogmatism. Chocolate is not ok for anyone. Its harmful because of oxalates. I suppose Dr Baker saying it's ok for some people to have chocolate and not driving home Phytonutrients like oxalates again, despite 1:45 mention of it, is not right. He does that often. And he said if you want to gain weight like the squirrels I suppose you could eat nuts too. 🤔 No because there are other ways to gain weight without anti nutrients. You see might point?

Fyi, oxalates don't cause problems unless a person is predisposed to getting kidney stones. I find it hilarious how so many meat-lovers have bought into the nonsense that oxalates are so evil, lol
Thanks Doc. Stay Calm and Carnivore On
Hey Doc - appreciate your work and what you do. What is your opinion on coffee? Thanks
Ok conversation. Love the ADA competition from Dr. Berry and group. I placed a super chat to support it along with a question. Disappointed, there were no questions asked. This could have been stated earlier. This conversation seemed more of a promotional spot for the presenters than for the audience. Be mindful, these need to be mutually beneficial.
No problems with nuts and chocolate , but I had a lot of problems on carnivore diet . Keto now and no problems at all .

Actually dark chocolate is worse due to being higher in oxalates the more concentrated it is. Also, then it has no dairy with it, which could help blunt the damage from the oxalates in the chocolate.
Love how the ads for most carnivore videos are about insulin 😂

I don't get it. All medical journals claim that meats and saturated fats increase risk of developing diabetes.
Nuts and seeds have the highest concentrations of defense chemicals. Needed to protect against predation from herbivores, insects, and fungi so that the plant doesn't become extinct.
Hey Dr. Baker, thanks for everything you do. Your talk with Joe Rogan back in 2017 changed my life.
As a 5 year Carnivore, I started eating Costco’s mixed nuts and after a couple weeks I started getting little pains here and there. I work in new home construction and am feeling pain. Never used to. Must be the nuts.

Because the body is omnivorous and adaptive. Yes, the body can survive in a carnivore diet and be completely fine. However, that doesn't mean we are uniquely carnivorous and these things are just poison to the body in any amount. Eat well, live well, and enjoy life and you can live a long time.
Roasted nuts have a lot less phytates than raw, but soaking, fermenting, or sprouting also reduces them, and increases nutrient bioavailability.
Excellent! Much thx. And...good luck to you while you're standing your ground and disseminating actual good health.
*_Same amount of calories. Same amount of activity and exercise. Only I ate veggies only every other day, and half of what I used to, so I was Carnivore 1 day and Keto the next day then back to Carnivore and so on. Over 6 weeks, I went down 6kg. Very odd._*
I am a low carber. 15 years now. The old 1950s British diet in Good Calories, Bad Calories. Gluten free 20 years. Like to make the odd treat. Especially at holidays. I use a combination of almond flour and whey protein. I have a keto hot coaco recipe which I enjoy in the winter. Especially after hours of snow shoveling. I use to carry just nuts when traveling, but after getting on a plane were they asked everyone not to eat nuts. Lucky for me I can go 24 hours without eating now. In the old days I would have been in trouble. Low blood sugar. Thankfully I have no issues with these foods, but they are very expensive. Way more expensive than wheat and sugar. Not something you can afford often. And trying to find nuts that have not any seed oils or wheat added is difficult. So you do not want to waste them at home. Emergency rations in the car. Live in Canada.
Robertson Davies, writing as Samuel Marchbanks in I think the late 1940s, warned, tongue-in-cheek, of the Salted Nut Peril and the dangers of addiction. Probably more true than he realized.
Recently, a long time friend age 68 bought a large jar of cashews at Costco. He loves then and as a result ate almost the whole thing over a weekend. They almost killed him, they all but destroyed his kidneys! This was mostly reversed by the docs but it was a long road back!

I'd rather eat what I want, enjoy myself, and die young than eliminate everything from my diet that might cost me a day at the end of my life. Specific diets take all the enjoyment out of life.
Thanks Shawn 👍
I've had an interesting experience when it comes to nuts.......I stopped eating sugar a while back(foods with added sugar, but I still eat fruit) and I started to lose weight, which I didn't want. So I've been eating a lot of nuts and my weight is stable but not gaining. I don't eat chocolate at all. So I think nuts are fine its sugar that's the real problem because I can eat an unlimited amount of nuts and not gain any weight.
perfect timing.
Has anyone heard that some meat plants in Kansas have been adding silicon to the meat to make it weigh more? It is getting more and more difficult to find safe and healthy food to eat.
I have an autoimmune disorder, and I don't digest nuts and seeds; besides, they give me flares.
I can not eat nuts and legumes other than chickpeas in moderation, quality dark chocolate doesn't seem to be a problem, not Hersey's or cheap stuff.
Raw seeds are always bad to eat because of toxins but how does cooking affect that? I just avoid all seeds, stems and leaves.
The polyphenols in cacao is what is important. Source it from a company that tests for metals, and consume in moderation, and it is a healthy addition to the diet.

I used to eat cashews when i was plant based. I thought they were delicious, then after a while I started noticing every time I ate them, I would develop a banging migraine that would last three days at a time. I couldn't do anything the pain was so bad, I thought my head was going to explode. Just to make sure it was the nuts, I tried them again when I was feeling better. The migraine came back. Three days later it went. Obviously I decided I wasn't going to eat nuts again if a couple of cashews could have me laid out for a week. So after a lot of bad health after eating a "healthy diet" I went carnivore. It's been over 3 years now and I'll never go back to eating a standard diet or a bodybuilders/plant based diet ever again. I was so sick, I felt like I was dying. Carnivore has healed me.

Looking at Chocolate today and it is very hard to find any chocolate without soy lecithin and all the seed oils: Hershey's is one of the worst selections for chocolate. In my younger days, I would almost eat my weight in chocolate bars, brownies, cakes and pies, but as a senior, they are off limits along with all the processed food the younger me consumed: cheese curls and the endless supply of processed junk. I do feel much better after switching to carnivore: no more arthritis or high blood pressure!!!
