Thank you so much.

I've been studying low carb and carnivore for 6 years now, learning from all the best people, but I have to say that this is one of the most comprehensive presentations that I've ever seen. It really brings all the factors together in one overarching theory. Brilliant !

I'd love to see a discussion with Dr Johnson and Dr Seyfried. It would be interesting.

Around 15 years ago I read Gary Taubes’ view that people who ate traditional diets didn’t get our diseases until they started importing sugar, flour, and seed oils.

I loved Dr Johnson's book, and I loved this presentation, and the thing that I love most is his evolutionary reasoning. We, and other animals are what we are because we developed internal processes that gave us a survival advantage. One of the main points, to my mind, is that we developed fuel storage from Fructose (like bears) to get our stores up to get us through the Winter. The big problem for us is that we are getting Fructose all the year round. A bit from fruit, but mainly from Colas, Sodas and UPF including breakfast cereal. Anything with Sucrose in it.

HFCS, honey, agave syrup, maple syrup, molasses, etc. Ultimate storage form of food is fat. Our body doesn't store proteins nor amino acids, and the high nitrogen content also means high uric acid levels and stress on the kidneys!!!

Good presentation. However, I must disagree with one thing. It is possible to be completely satisfied on a zero carb diet. I'm almost one year carnivore, and don't see myself ever switching back.

If you run into problems down the road, look into Dr. Barry Sears and his Zone Diet as a potential high end of low glycemic, nutrient-dense, natural carbs once your mitochondria’s carb processing mechanism recovers a bit. Processed carb overload is demonic. Morley Robbins and Dr. Chris Knobbe have good info as well.

This scientific presentation deserves all the gratitude and reverence because it is at a similar level of human endeavor, reflecting the same level of dedication, intelligence, passion, brilliance, and excellence as the artworks of Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Antoni Gaudí, Johann Sebastian Bach, Vivaldi, Chopin, etc. We live in wonderful times.

Absolutely excellent. His narrative is complemented by slides with enough info and easy to absorb. This is how technical stories should be told.

Dr Johnson hit a grand slam here. I have tried to watch ALL his presentations - he is so earnest and knowledgeable. Here, more so than any other video, he has tied it (almost) all together. It would be fabulous to see his"extended" version where he addresses all the other pswitch triggers, especially alcohol (probably tying in Dr Lustig's Sugar, A Bitter Truth masterpiece). His team's research, the explanation of our pathways, and the ties to our evolution give a believable big picture of what the heck is going wonky with obesity. Thank you for posting this, MHS.

This was amazing & eye-opening…. When I first got Long Covid, I put on 30 pounds seemingly overnight, as well as extreme thirst (despite drinking 2 liters+daily) and craving salt…. Fascinating tie-in to mitochondrial dysfunction, and oxygen deficiency due to micro clots. Thank you for this informative presentation.!

Well, it's as people used to do in the old days: pies and cakes, etc, were for Sabbath meals only. Looking forward to the Sabbath was to look forward to the food you weren't eating during the week. Festival Foods. Sugar is fine once in a while. Even Dr. Lustig says that. It's all about the chronic load.

Outstanding presentation.

I believe in humane outreach. Carefully chosen, people can be moved to consider a new way of thinking. The problem here is that people love the taste. Some people love the taste, and think that's the reason they eat it so much. We know better, but yes, we love the taste. How to convince someone that life can be worth living without the constant taste of sugar? One approach is to say "no, it's not a matter of never. Once you get stabilized after the initial fast some weeks, you will be healthier, you will feel the difference, but still want to have some sugar. Fine. Once a week, like people used to do in the old days, Sabbath meal, for example. You're healthy now. All you have to do is make sure it's rare and moderate." That's not a bad approach. It's actually worked for me.

Fascinating: I've started adding MSG to my keto foods to be able to eat more of what I'm supposed to be eating. Often I can't get enough to keep my hunger/cravings under control. I don't put MSG to anything else. Also adding allulose in higher amounts to anything I can sneak it in to sauces, yogurt, berries, even stir fry. It has an almost immediately noticeable effect on satiety. These talks have had real life impact on those of us doing n=1 nutritional studies on ourselves!

Refined Salt, BAD. Unrefined Salt, GOOD!

This was one of the most informative presentations I've ever seen. Thank you.

So, finally we are there. Very nice, great lecture for itself, great content, thanks for uploading. As a biologist in the health business I appreciate it very much. new for me: the role of salt. fructose is a fascinating piece of matter, as it serves as a messenger, linking plants, their ecology and animals up to their behavior and deep metabolic regulation. so its more like an information matter. it provides a completely new perspective onto all the ecosystems biology. It could be interesting in this regards, however, to take a closer look to orang utans. They forage figs, which appear highly clumped = tree wise, all year over. And so, orang utans clump on those trees.... feasting, yet, they stay lean, very lean indeed. about us humans: We urgently need to create GMO plants that produce more oleic acid, instead of O6. If you calculate the number of calories consumed worldwide as bad oils, and carbs, you will find that there is by far not enough such that everyone could eat healthy. And I don't like GMO at all...

What a wonderful and comprehensive presentation! Thank you Dr Johnson.

Thank you ! 😊

So interesting!!! Thank you

I like prof. Tim Noakes' model of human metabolism. We primarily run on fat and ketones leaving glucose for tissues that need it exlusively.

Fantastic,!!!

Incredible presentation, low carb moderate protein seems like the way forward

Amazing presentation. So useful in understanding obesity.

Great informations regarding all the evils of modern ill health, bundled in just one lecture by Prof. Richard Johnson. Thank you.

I too will listen to this again, so packed with information, and in a very understandable way. So many mechanisms at play rooted in survival that in our world of abundance turn to excessive behaviors in humans. But that’s why we have a brain, we can make informed choices, whereas animals are just working on instinct .

His take on lowering salt intake was confusing to me. I believe he said that salt would not cause you to get fat if you were on a low carb or carnivore diet. In other words, salt, in the absence of sugar, was not a problem. So, if you're on a carnivore diet for instance, can you eat all the salt you want or should it still be minimized.

First error detected: Fructose doesn't block ATP formation but rather uses up ATP twice as fast. Fructose is 100% metabolized by the liver and after absorption Fructose disappeares from blood extremely fast. These observations point to the fact that Fructose is phosphorylated very fast resulting in rapid accumulation of ADP, then AMP, then IMP and then uric acid. Glucose however is utilized by all cells of the body and only 20% handled by the liver. The liver preferentially converts the glucose into glycogen which it can hold as much as 100g. It takes much higher and faster intake of glucose to match the detrimental effect of fructose in elevating uric acid levels. The later metabolic path also overwhelmes the citric acid cycle (also knon as the tricarboxylic acid cycle) so that citric acid escapes from the mitochondrium and be converted into saturated fatty acid. Dr. Robert Lustig said about 30% of fructose will be converted into fat. This is how fructose can cause fatty liver and obesity. There are several counteractive hormones to raise blood glucose but not blood fructose.

38:40 How do you reconcile the "salt = bad" statement with your LMNT endorsement?

@andychristopher1957

15 күн бұрын

His presentation in about the effects of carbohydrates in the diet. At 38:40 He's talking about how salt can trigger the process for carbohydrates to be stored as fat (and other effects,) with examples of salted carbohydrates as 'bad foods'. Salt is essential for us to function, and if someone is on a consistent low carb diet they will likely retain less salt in their body (than someone with higher insulin levels,) and will need more salt in their diet, LMNT could be an appropriate supplement.

I have an ice cream machine that I haven't used in a long time because I stay away from sweet things since carnivore, but I will now use it once in a while with allulose as the sweetener, since both cream and allulose are healthy.

So if I stop eating carbs and fructose then salt has no effect, but we still blame the salt and should reduce it? Doctors have a strange habit of coming to opposite conclusions from their own data. Salt is a required nutrient, carbs and fructose are not. Your heart will literally stop beating from hyponatremia.

The suggestion that elopement behavior by those with Alzheimer's is induced by fructose is fascinating. That it is, in effect, foraging behavior with risk taking.

This is interesting - I see PTSD symptoms are also exacerbated due to its ADHD-like symptoms in many of us. Not being sugar orientated I notice that my medication makes me crave huge bags of crisps, and then I suddenly fancy of sugary rounding off of the snack-fest. Roll on the day when the medication options cease mess up your metabolism. Anybody else notice that medication is always the unaddressed element though, on presentations on metabolic health.

Not good to be carnivore with kidney issues, any experience or expertise or suggestions?

I like when we see something that ties us back to our environment. I have long thought that in temperate climates, fruit is only available towards the end of summer/early autumn and would make an ideal way to fatten up for the winter months when food is in a much less plentiful supply. Bears are an extreme example in that they hibernate, but pre-agricultural man would have needed extra fat to last out the winter. The fact that our bodies evolved to latch on to fructose as being a ‘store as much as you can’ signal makes perfect sense. It would be interesting to set this down against populations in tropical climates where fruit is readily available 365 days per year. We can see that Asians were (and to an extent still are) typically skinnier than Caucasians even though they would have a higher fructose diet all year wrong. We know that for example, many Asians have trouble metabolizing alcohol as they lack an enzyme used by the liver. It is highly likely that there would be other metabolic differences given that for hundreds of thousands of years they lived in a different climate and thus were exposed to different foods than most westerners. Incidentally, obesity is now a massive problem in Asia and if you go to the average supermarket in Asia, the aisles are full of the same ultra processed garbage as those in the west. Equally, they cook with seed oils now (which is of course a more recent thing as it is for the west). Not to mention sugar sweetened beverages etc!

Excellent presentation! I do not agree with Dr Johnson trying to create a way to disable what fructose does so we can continue to eat too much of it. Haven't we learned that we shouldnt muck around with nature using pharmaceuticals? Eating sweet tasting foods drives the craving for more. After 60 years of being a sugarholic, and now 2 years Carnivore, I no longer crave sweets at all and do not feel like I am missing anything. I do use Dr Berg's electrolyte powder which has a small amount of organic stevia ( no aftertaste). I do not find this to trigger cravings. Dr Johnson is addicted to sweet taste and should come out and admit it. He hasnt even tried Carnivore, so he doesn't know how good you can feel. That is why so many people on Carnivore never go back to Carb eating.

I really want to hear this. But I've been listening for 20 minutes and I'm only 6 minutes into the talk... the rest is advertisements. I'm trying to listen while cleaning, so I'm not near the "skip" button. Irritating.

34:00 I don't doubt this gentleman is extremely learned and educated about his topic but I do object to one of his conclusions; that salt is bad for humans. We've been down this road before. If you eat natural raw mostly unprocessed salt I believe you'll be absolutely fine, in fact you'll be extremely healthy. Over-processed and relatively dead table salt may be an issue for some salt-sensitive individuals but the body needs its electrolytes. It needs its healthy salts. The body can go into cardiac arrest or have other severe health complications if the body becomes too depleted in electrolytes and salts. Just like we do best, in my opinion, on a high natural healthy fat diet and I believe that people experience complications when they go into an extremely low fat consumption pattern, I feel a similar thing is true regarding salt intake. So I feel that it would behoove the average listener, who may just starting to educate themselves about basic health and nutrition, to differentiate between the incredible health benefits in my opinion of full-spectrum natural unprocessed mineral-containing salts and their importance in our bloodstream, and highly processed commercialized table salt. I feel this is a pretty crucial distinction. It's like the difference between highly commercialized, adulterated, industrial-produced and processed pasteurized milk from a typical high-capacity commercial dairy, versus raw unprocessed dairy and milk straight from a healthy animal. One is extremely nourishing and healthy, and the other as far as I'm concerned is just inert.

I had fibromyalgia, IBS, chronic anemia, depression and brain fog for over 30 years. When I went on Carnivore WOE all of it went away. The fibromyalgia was caused by eating oxalates in the veg and nuts. The IBS was caused by the fiber and lectins. My gut microbiome gets fed directly from the butyrate in my bloodstream . We are not able to absorb the form of iron that is in plants, that is whu I was anemic on a plant based diet. Plants also do not contain B12 and essential fatty acids in bioavailable forms. Meat is rich in all of the B vitamins. Also, the beta carotene in plants is not vitamin A. It must be converted to the active form of retinol. Over 40% of people lack the gene to convert any. The rest can only convert a very small percentage. A diet without meat is not biologically appropriate for humans. We can only get the nutrition we need from animal meat and fat unless supplements are taken. What other animals in nature has to take supplements to be optimally healthy? Modern fruit is very high in sugar/ fructose. The body processes it as it does all carbohydrates. It raises insulin and the fructose is converted to fat and uric acid causing the problems Dr Johnson described.
