Both my parents died recently at 95 years old. They both avoided heart disease and cancer. They also both ate food fried in lard (white solid pig fat). They ate cakes made with lard. In fact lard was a major part of their diet. They also ate little meat as it was usually served up once a week (cost and tradition). Full fat milk was the norm as was butter. I know genetics is important but lard is easy to cook with, cheap and keeps for months in the fridge.

Interestingly all the SPM’s are ‘Trans fats’ actually Trans Bond unsaturated fatty acids, BUT the difference is their double bonds are conjugated ie very 2nd carbon rather than say DHA which has them every 3rd carbon ie omega 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 & 18.

There is another type of omega 6 called gamma linoleic acid, which wasn't mentioned, but is actually anti inflammatory. Although he said linoleic acid is pro inflammatory, it can also be anti inflammatory, when consumed in the right ratio. It's our ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 that is the problem, but I don't think omega 6 fatty acids are primarily bad.

it's not very professional though and as far as I can tell factually inaccurate. Vegans who want to consume all three Omega 3 fatty acids can do see easily through the widely available algal oils. The science is also not a consensus in this respect. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine states "Plant-derived omega-3s come in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)-which is the only essential omega-3 fatty acid. Our bodies cannot synthesize it, so we must consume ALA through our diets. The body naturally converts ALA into longer chain omega-3 fatty acids, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-which is important for brain health-and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Fish contain both DHA and EPA. But that doesn’t mean that those following plant-based diets are deficient in these longer chain omega-3s. In fact, women following vegan diets actually had significantly more long-chain omega-3 fats in their blood, compared with fish-eaters, meat-eaters, and ovo-lacto vegetarians, according to findings from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) Study. Despite zero intake of long-chain omega-3s (EPA and DHA) and lower intake of the plant-derived ALA, vegan participants converted robust amounts of shorter-chain fatty acids into these long-chain fatty acids, compared to fish eaters."

Thank you very much for the info. Been at this for about a year keto-ish keep finding I’m stalling.

Thank you! Very Beneficial ‘cooking’ guide. What to use for what!

Nina Teicholz does a terrific job of explaining the origins of trans fats like Crisco and margarine. They are essentially machine oils that someone figured out how to make taste acceptable.

It's a good choice for cooking because of its high smoke point.

The thing is, if you go to your grocery store or even the so-called "healthy" grocery stores like Sprouts and Whole Foods, the vast majority of their salmon is farmed. Don't believe me, read the label or ask. You have to go out of your way to get wild caught from most grocery store chains and you can't just assume because if they aren't advertising where the fish came from, 100% of the time it is farmed. The only way I get wild caught fish is to either order it online from a fishery or I find it in the frozen fish section in a grocery store. That's where I find mine from all of these places, the frozen fish section. Never can get it fresh in the deli, all of it is farmed. And like beef, there is a difference between farmed and wild caught. Beef cattle are fed corn-based feed whereas grass-fed are fed grass. Huge difference in the quality of fats too.

This is a great point and what is missing in nearly all of the health advice you see when it is stated 'eat salmon' or 'eat chicken'. It's almost impossible to get hold of real wild salmon in supermarkets and by my calcs in the US 1 in 4,000 chicken meals is factory farmed meat (1 in 400 in the UK). Surely no health expert worth their salt is going to recommend eating factory farmed animals and all the chemicals, GM feed, antibiotics or whatever else goes into the meat? Also, if grass fed beef was just fed on grass it would be classified as organic, if it's not classified as organic there is something else going into the cow than just grass. Organic beef is a tiny fraction of the beef consumed.

I've started to regularly eat wild fish and hoping to see benefits from omega

7:58 Clarification of the difference between a fatty acid and a triglyceride would be of interest.

Apparently farmed salmon feed has fish like anchovies ground up and added to the fish meal. Harvard Chan School shows levels of 3 omega fats in farmed salmon.

Dear Dr. Lustig, Thank you so much for your helpful information. But have I misunderstood? It seems butter is poison; but dairy fat is good? Thank you for elucidating!

Extra virgin olive oil has a smoking point of over 400 degrees, more than hot enough for frying. Cheaper olive oils will smoke significantly earlier

You can get omega 3 DHA EPA from ruminants that convert plant DHA. Grass fed ruminant is better.

I wish he mentioned avocado oil

The information given by Lustig is great. The background video however is completely inconsistent with what is being said. Whoever put the video together has no clue as to what Lustig is talking about.

1) Omega-3 may increase heart attack rates in people who haven't have a problem yet. See the fish oil paradox. Also, 3 grams a day maximizes benefits and Omega-3 yields oxidized triglycerides and also makes triglycerides that are more easily glycosylated and can cause arterial scarring. 2-4 grams a day is a must but don't think 10 or 20 is better. Very few people get 3 grams though. 2) Monounsaturated: Two thumbs up all around. By the way, butter and beef suit are about 30% oleic. Oleic can trans-ify from heat (and commercial pork lard has a lot of trans Oleic) but it smokes before this due to impurities. 3) Polyunsaturated fatty acids that aren't Omeg-3 are almost entirely Omega-6, linoleic acid. It is pro-inflammatory (which is necessary in moderation) and it ALSO forms more easily oxidized and glycosylated triglycerides that can cause arterial lesions, the instigating factor in CHD. Main issue here is that almost all polyunsaturated fat in the diet is Omega-6 linoleic. Plausibly other trace PUFAs may be in the diet and may be OK for you or have unique benefits. 4) Saturated fat. OK on this. 5) MCTs are mostly saturate, and some PUFA and MUFA, but they are all one of the three basic types with regard to double bonds. 6) Omega-6 are the main form of Polyunsaturated fat in the diet. 7) There are short chain saturated fatty acids that are good for gut health. They are made from fiber by the gut biome.

Omega 3 from vegetables Omega 3s 0:58 you can get them from vegetables 1:00 so vegans can get one kind of Omega-3 1:06 there are three they can get one kind 1:08 you can get one called alpha linolenic 1:11 acid or ala and ala is good I'm not 1:14 saying it's bad it's a good thing it is 1:16 anti-inflammatory 1:18 and so it actually affords 1:20 cardiovascular protection and that is 1:22 good 1:23 however the other two 1:26 Omega-3s one is called EPA or 1:30 icosopentainoic acid which is necessary 1:32 for neural transmission 1:34 and the third one is called DHA doco 1:37 hexainoic acid 1:39 was necessary for neuronal structure 1:42 membrane stability those only come from 8:15 lots of people are excited about 8:17 medium chain triglycerides because 8:19 they're relatively high in coconut oil 8:21 and coconut oil is on every paleo and 8:25 every vegan you know menu as being a 8:29 primary uh you know fat to cook in 8:33 and there may be some value to that but 8:35 the problem is that when your liver is 8:38 presented with both saturated fat and 8:40 medium chain triglycerides you're 8:42 basically overwhelming your 8:44 mitochondria's ability to oxidize and so 8:47 you can end up laying down more liver 8:49 fat and that can be a problem too so 8:51 medium chain triglycerides are sort of a 8:53 good news bad news deal depending on 8:55 what else you're eating 8:57 number six 9:00 omega-6 fatty acids now omega-6 fatty 9:03 acids are what are found in seed oils 9:06 so soybean oil Etc

Vegans get EPA and DHA from the algae oil!!! Tons of supplements have this and without the toxins fish accumulate like Mercury.

What do I use to bake my chicken if I can’t use olive oil? What do I use to sauté my veggies?

6:07 was the info I was looking for on saturated fat. And you're saying butter is healthier than beef, bacon, or coconut oil. Can you recommend grass fed butter vs regular, vs ghee?

As a vegan, I do get my omega 3's from a supplement, but we don't need fish oil; we get it straight from the algae. There are lots of algae, lichen and seaweed-based vegan supplements that replace the nutrients we would otherwise need to get from meat and fish.

'Reductionism' leads people like Lustig to say these things. People who do eat fish, yeah, they get sufficient Omega 3 but they also get all the overdose of crap fat and excess protein. They probably eat lots of other animal products as well. So if you apply a "Cost-Benefit Analysis" to this, it's not wise.

Clinical/research scientist here btw. Omega 3 is not the only thing you are missing from a vegan diet. You should also consider the following: (1) Plants anti nutrients such as phytates that are a double-edged sword..beneficial in some circumstances but by far more detrimental as they are known to prevent the absorption of nutrients such as zinc among many other things. Phytosterols are also a problem in the context of LDL oxidation/damage and atherosclerosis/strokes. It's like praising the 5% of benefits while ignoring the 95% of downsides. (2) The excessive amount of whole food carbohydrates/fructose/other refined sugars that vegans consume as part of their diet (refined carbs are obviously worse but as the "only" source of food long-term, the so called "fiber-rich" carbs are also a problem as they drive hyperinsulinaemia and eventually contribute to insulin resistance, the exacerbation of lipotoxicity with the formation of diacylglycerides and ceramides that causes the mitochondria to burn glucose less efficiently and produce more damaging ROS (free radicals/reactive oxygen species...and no, that's not caused by consumption of a healthy amount of saturated animal fats as many plant-based clinicians want you to believe). That in turn causes the downregulation of the insulin/glucose channels/receptors (e.g.Glut4) that results in a decreased insulin sensitivity (or Insulin resistance). Many organs can become insulin resistance with impaired function. The brain is a prime example. This is why Alzheimer's is now termed "type 3 diabetes". Research it and understand why. (3) The effect of hyperinsulinaemia on metabolic health, mitochondrial function, neurological health, high blood pressure, nitric oxide inhibition, inflammation and the formation of atherosclerotic plaque causing stroke/CVD to name just a few issues (research it all). (4) Many clinicians uses half truths to demonise animal-based food. A common one is to blame the Arachidonic pathway and the production of pro-inflammatory Eicosanoids such as prostaglandins, Leucotrienes, and thromboxanes on an animal based diet. Those inflammatory pathways are essential for our immunity and tissue repair. A healthy animal based diet does NOT cause any issues with regards to that. Studies demonstrating this are just poorly written and biases in their conclusion. The same applies for studies claiming that IGF-1 from animal based food causes an increase in all cause mortality. Well IGF-1 (insulin-like Growth Factor) is again critical for your health in the right amount. The same goes for insulin and cortisol. Both are critical for survival however, they can cause harm in excess. Exercise also cause an increase in IGF-1 and that's true same as what meat does. Does it make sense to say that we should stop exercising? Of course not. We must put those artificial lab-based research data in a real-life context. This bit below is not a direct response to your comment as you didn't mention anything about what i'll be saying next. So please don't take it personally. I'm just putting it here for others as well as I do get many responses on my comments from others and my time is limited as I do have a full time clinical job! But what I mentioned above are just a few examples to demonstrate that we must be extremely careful with scientific bias, propaganda, conflict of interest and politics that have tainted scientific publications, date interpretation and nutritional policies due to financial support that governments receives from the wealthy big food, big pharma and big tech industry pushing forward certain narratives in favour of the business strategies and profits. And no, the "meat industry" is nowhere as rich and influential on politic as the big food/sugar industry among the others I mentioned and are not able to "bribe" in any relevant way in comparison at least. The climate impact of farming is an issue that the opposition uses without context. For instance why not eliminate industrialisation tomorrow including all fossil fuels, technology and the car industry? That's by far the main cause of pollution. It's not feasible now is it? Instead we all agree that we need to "improve" those things and find a common ground where we can enjoy progress and technology and also take care of the planet. Well the same goes for farming. Eliminating the most nutrient-rich source of food is not the answer for our future from a health and evolutionary point of view. Surprising that plant-based advocates don't want to demonstrate the same level of common sense and rational about that. This is what I do not agree with. Blind bias and ideology do not lead us anywhere. Sure farming itself has become tainted with the race for profits (hormones, antibiotics and despicable/cruel conditions) at the expense of good regenerative farming. That must change for sure. I agree. But lets not lose track of the real issues at hand.

​@@ceeemm1901 "Reductionism" also leads people to say that it's healthy to COMPLETELY remove animal-sources food which is a food category that has driven our evolution from (to name a few) the homo neanderthalensis, the homo habilis, the home erectus to the apex homo sapiens that we are now with unparalleled brain function among all creatures on earth thanks to animal based omega3 fatty acids such as DHA, EPA, B12 and other essential amino acids such as methionine, lysine and leucine present in the right conentration in animal-based food. This is strongly evidenced by every bit of unbiased science. The change of our digestive system based on plant-based cellulose fermentation to a mono gastric enzyme digestion system is in itself proof of a evolutionary advantage. We do not possess the ability to ferment cellulose and extract fatty acids as efficiently as herbivores anymore. They are able to produce all their amino acids from the nitrogen the get from plants and build their muscle mass. We can't do this as must rely on hydrochloric acid from our stomach to break down food and release amino acids that is then further absorbed in the small intestines. We also rely on a certain level of natural fats for cholesterol and fatty acids from animal-based food (hormonal imbalance due to a lack of the precursor cholesterol is well documented among vegans). Such fatty acids are also essential for a healthy liver output of lipoproteins and the production of bile salts that are released in the intestines for fat breakdown/absorption and for carrying all our essential fat soluble vitamins (ADEK). I find it increasingly strange how people are fully ok about following a "reductionist" diet that veganisms is given that it's absolutely nutrient deficient long-term (that is NOT a debate) but in the same breath find it problematic to include animal-based food as PART of a healthy diet due to the fact that it's supposed "unhealthy". I often see comments about fats and meat being naturally unhealthy. I am not sure if that's what you meant so my comment is rather for a general audience and not necessarily a direct response to you. Based on what evidence exactly? The WHO that said that "meat is probably carcinogenic"? They absolutely have a point if they had mentioned just "processed meat". But they lumped in unprocessed red meat along with their conclusions. There is absolutely no evidence for that statement and it was extremely irresponsible for them to do that based on politics and funding from those who espouse the idea and wrote the biased papers. Those papers have been reviewed by some of the greatest experts in the world and found to be completely based on loose science with not "CAUSATION" established between healthy unprocessed red meat consumption and cancer. That evidence does not exist but the contrary does exist (healthy meat providing health benefits). If there was real and indisputable scientific evidence that unprocessed red meat and fats causes cancer with the same level of certainty that smoking or asbestos inhalation causes cancer for example, do you think children would have still been allowed to eat meat for example? Don't you think there would have been stronger policies in place to protect them from such "danger" the same way you are not allowed to smoke until the age of maturity? The fact is there is ZERO evidence that establishes a correlation between healthy unprocessed and responsibly sources animal meal/fats and cancer or other diseases for that matter. Sure over consumption is a problem like with everything else. Pesticides such as copper sulphate are a major issue for vegan/vegetarians for example and greatly contribute to copper toxicity (on top of the fact that plan-based diets are naturally high in copper) causing neurological issues, fatigue, brain fog, gynaecomastia in men, zinc and magnesium depletion among many other issues (too long to further elaborate). I won't use this as an excuse however to say that all plant-based food must be banned. It's all about understanding how to eat properly from appropriate sources. Research the actual papers that decision was based on. Keep an open mind and research the benefits a healthy unprocessed animal-based diet provide as well. Veganism is banned for infants and growing children in quite a few countries. If veganism wasn't nutrient deficient, then you should be able to feed a newborn on it without any issues. Is that possible? It's not. DHA, EPA, B12 and essential amino acids deficiency in infants and growing kids can cause permanent brain damage/neurological impairment. If you are on a vegan diet, you have to rely on supplementation and be very careful about your food choices to get all the required amino acids and nutrients in the right amount. Not everyone can sustain this long-term unless you are a fitness influencer doing this for a living. It's not just about getting those precious algae right! You cannot also do that anyway without consuming too much carbohydrates and fibres (food replacement shakes is the privilege of the modern societies and also not healthy long-term and yes you can consume too much of carbs/fibre leading to metabolic disease, insulin resistance, fatty liver, T2DM, IBS, IBS, SIBO...strange again that plant-based advocate don't tend to mention this much). I see that everyday at the hospital where I work. So it's not information i'm gathering from thin air or my personal opinion. What I am describing is based on my own experience and fully approved and published documentation that a lot of plant-based advocates even among clinicians, just don't want to look at. Instead the pick and choose those biased literature that complies with their own bias. I would also critise the opposing view the same way. There are also biased pro-animal based publications. That doesn't mean that vegetables or animal-based food can't be part of a balanced healthy diet. I'm always curious to know the clinical/scientific qualifications of those critically appraising world renowned experts who espouse evidence-based science such as Dr. Lustig here. See my comment above. Omega3 is not the only component you are missing from a vegan diet. It would take too long for me to fully elaborate on that. I made a brief comment above. I'll copy those above.

Very interesting but I am not sure exactly what oils each type is.

The error in the video is to display butter as trans fat, it is not, and clarified butter or ghee is the best fat for cooking, because it supports slightly higher temperatures without breaking down. (olive oil is second best IF temperature is well under control)

This video was confusing, mainly because you speak of omega 3's as being distinct from polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs)--but in fact omega-3's and omega-6's are simply different forms of PUFA. It would have helped, also, if you had mentioned avocado oil at some point to clarify how it fits into the lipid pantheon. I do agree with people who commented that the final visual image (a stick of ... something--butter? margarine?) was needlessly and confusingly ambiguous. Better if you had shown a tin of Crisco, perhaps.

Different forms but not the same - hence the three or six affix. For avocado oil, the ratio of 6 to 3 is high: 13 to one. But the overall volume of both is small so definitely not the worst oil to cook with and a great deal better than seed oils obviously.

I did not take any medicine at all so that was definitely not it. I had some cheese when I went on a spa with a friend 8 years ago and I was badly punished for that, I did that 3 nights in a row and on the fourth day I was back into severe pain again.

I'm surprised there is no discussion about calories. Olive oil? Yeah, sure, I'd use it (combined with vinegar) as a salad dressing. No need to worry about the cooking temperature. But olive oil is calorie-dense. Which means it is really fattening. You must limit olive oil to control your weight (if the calorie count means anything).

It is safe to cook in EVO as the antioxidants cancel out oxidation despite the smoking point. EVO is one of the most stable oils to cook with.

There are exceptions to every rule. While seed oils are generally labelled as bad "sesame seed oil" does have some benefits as long as you don't overheat it (I actually would not use it for frying at all just for marinating and dressing). Basically ANY oil that is heated past it's smoking point becomes a trans fat which is what he could have just stated instead of just picking on olive oil.

Mind is blown about the double bond and ect about olive oil. At least it is safe on subs.

Why does presenting the liver with both saturated fat and medium chain triglycerides "overwhelm your mitochondria's ability to oxidize"? I thought saturated fat didn't oxidize, or am I getting that wrong?
