"Short term trials are not enough to understand long term disease." That statement belies so many in these nutritional diatribes.

I've been haunted by this video from yesterday and just wanted to say I'm so sorry to hear of your profound loss. I remember that sweet pup face from a previous video where he seemed snuggled behind you out of the frame on the porch. Not only is it heart wrenching to lose our animal family at any time, those sounded like especially traumatic circumstances for you all. Wishing you as much peace and grace as possible through the grieving process. And not that that process ever ends but hope the sharp edges dull quickly and that there is comfort in the joy of your time together. For what it's worth, it's readily apparent that this was one very lucky, cherished dog friend. Thank you for all you do, and for bringing such humanity to it every time.

I have low cholesterol after years of high cholesterol. Eating less meat a week than I did in a day makes a difference. My blood sugars are great although I eat lots of carbohydrates. People act like I must be lying or exaggerating when I say I eat sixteen servings of vegetables a day. For breakfast today, I had a pot of vegetables: carrots, red cabbage, onion and green pepper. I would guess that I ate close to two quarts of cooked vegetables so that would be nearly sixteen servings and it's only the first meal of the day. I'll have at least one more meal today if not two or three.

Me, too. I discovered your videos when I was on low carbohydrate diet. I saw videos on how long do health influencers live and was convinced that I needed to go back to eat a plant based diet. I couldn't follow low carb anyway since I love my fruits and vegetables. Even without starchy vegetables and grains in the diet, my diet was moderate carbohydrate. Eating mostly plants, I'm no longer pre-diabetic and my total cholesterol dropped a hundred points. I still eat mostly non-starchy vegetables and fruit. Instead of eating meat as a side with my vegetables, I eat grains. It's a lot cheaper on top of being healthier.

Thank you for what you do! My son , who has issues with his weight has decided to go on a keto diet. These young people are so impressional and act as these keto gurus are gods!

My sweet dog passed 17 years ago and my heart still misses her. Sorry for your family’s loss.

Dear Chris, This is a general comment. I am an experimental psychologist with a deep-rooted interest for nutrition and health. Over the years, I’ve explored different approaches to eating using myself as a case study. More recently though, I’ve been trying to better understand the science behind it all. It always amazes me to see how many contradictory recommendations and misinformation are circulating within the public sphere. This frustration led me to contemplate starting my own KZread channel, intending to navigate through the maze of information by relying on scientific evidence rather than the varying perspectives of doctors and authors worldwide. In my pursuit, I stumbled on your remarkable KZread channel, and I must express my appreciation for the incredible work you are doing. Your commitment to disseminating accurate information to the public by verifying original sources really resonates with me. As I watch your videos, I realize that your channel is very much what I had envisioned for my own channel, but in a much more proficient and impactful manner! Thank you… your videos are an invaluable resource and I look forward to watching more of them!

First I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Losing a dog is the hardest thing I've had to deal with... How much better would the world be if everyone was as knowledgeable and noble as Chris. Great video! Thanks for this channel!

Thank you for your continued work ✊👏 I’m so sorry your canine companion is no longer with you. Sending huge vibes of compassion abd love. It was 15 years until I homed another needy hound, once my last pup died. I get where you are coming from and send the very best to you and your family ❤️‍🩹

You are so f****** good, thank you! So sorry to hear about your loss and I imagine you really had to hold down a lot of your true feelings. We love you so much man, thank you for everything you are doing here. It's always golden. A must share, share, share

What you’re doing Chris is very very important. There isn’t a way that a person like myself. Could get this information and I need it and I will help spread it too. You’ve also given me a source to rebut arguments that come up when I am trying to help family members to make better nutrition choices. It’s so interesting that they are able to parrot every piece of misinformation that you were able to point out today. Your grief will be intense for quite awhile.

My heartfelt condolences. I believe that dogs are God's way of giving us a foretaste of angelic love. I also believe that you'll be reunited one day. In the meantime, I'll say a little prayer for your family and your departed.

so sorry for your loss! I hope you dwell in the happy memories and know that your dog loved and appreciated all the care you and your family gave to him.

Btw, you mentioned physics, my stepfather was a fairly well-known nuclear physicist, he received a Lawrence award, worked for the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, and had many other impressive accomplishments in the world of nuclear physics

My heart goes out to you and your beautiful family Chris. I too have loved a dog who died too soon. 🥺 Thank you for your service to all of us, in this jungle of health & nutrition misinformation.

Don’t get why anyone would use historic arguments for what is healthy to eat and not. We don’t know that much now. Some bloke from 300 years ago surly must know right.

I'm sorry for your loss. No need to apologize for your sadness. I understand that feeling of suffocation, I wept for days and days when I lost a cat. I didn't eat, I only forced myself to drink broth so I wouldn't get sick. Take all the time you need, one day you'll be able to remember him fondly without the pain. It's okay if it overwhelms you.

So I found that out and had one that was closely involved with Jack in some business dealings, he was a national physique level judge at one time and a oft time competitor before injury my friend, Which were jacks initial roots the bodybuilding physique community at first. He later got far away from it probably as it became so corrupted with drugs Even way back then it had started.. Steroids in the fories fifties sure. So I knew that and asked him my friend and that was his answer. Jack felt a occasional indulgence was OK. It is a pretty closed community really as so much income depends on perception. Most of the stuff is kept secret. Not to drop the guy he was great and a great example. I agree I it is the whole not the parts.

I have watched just about all of Dr Rogers videos and have come to the conclusion he is as Chris says in this video compelling and scientific sounding because he has such knowledge of biochemistry. However Dr Rogers dismisses the Mediterranean diet out of hand without any scientific reason for such a dismissal. So although I like him and his talks I remain sceptical of his claims. But in fairness to him he admits he is extreme because he guesses it will lead to excellence in health.

I can study every paper written for 200 years and when it comes down to what is important it is curing health issues that are leading to shortened life and quality of life. If a diet stops diabetes and joint pain that is the diet for me. If I feel better, think better, and can sleep pain free I have succeeded in finding what is best for me.

Great video. Well done. I know a few of the books you mentioned, but others I did not. I would encourage everyone to read Banting's letter on corpulence. As you said, the letter does not say what the high-fatters claim. And indeed, I also don't understand why Ancel Keys is so vilified. I prefer to eat foods, not recipes, so I never tried the recipes in his books, but I found "The benevolent bean" fascinating. He even talks about lupines, which -although very easy to find- almost no-one seems to know despite it being studied by the EU as part of what they call the "protein transition". As for Dr. Atkins, I must have been about 13 years old when I read his original Diet Revolution, in Dutch translation, I didn't know a word of English at the time. I remember his diet was vilified, but for reasons that didn't make sense. The only thing I found fascinating though, was the claim that people are not hungry on his diet. So, I tried it a few decades later. I was hungrier than ever and ballooned faster than ever... never again. And the video you showed of the great nutrition debate in 2000 nicely shows that Atkins was simply fat, not skinny, so his diet obviously didn't work for him either. This, in my view, is one of your best videos. Congratulations.

I'm so very sorry for your loss, Chris. My cat, Stanley, died a year ago. He was only 12. Cancer. It was just devastating. I found the one thing that helped me...I adopted another cat...he was over 10 years old and stuck in a cage at the animal shelter for 2 months. I couldn't save my Stanley, but I could save this new cat from his sad existence in a cage. It felt so very good to get him out of there and give him a good home. His name is Marty, and he's the joy of my life every single day.

It's eye opening how many of my friends are taking so many medications for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc. I sat with two of them at a meal a couple of years ago (I had plant-based pizza; they both had burgers and fries), and between the three of us, we took a total 20 or 21 pills per day. They accounted for 19 of them, while my B-12 rounded us up to 20 (and in the Winter months up here in the PNW, I will add Vitamin D and bring the total up to 21). Sad part of the story is one of those two friends passed away from a massive heart attack last Summer. He adhered to a low carb diet. He wasn't heavy at all and was actually pretty active (hiking, tennis), but this was his third heart attack in a six or seven year period. He was convinced that his ticket out of heart disease was a low carb / high fat diet. I have a feeling that more and more stories like these are going to unfold over these last few decades of my life.

So sorry to hear about your friend. As Ancel Keys’ data showed in this episode, it gets dramatically worse each decade. Brace yourself. 😞

You are amazing! Thank you. Losing a companion animal is always hard. Your beloved lives on in your heart. Now I am tearing up thinking about my own past companions. Bless you always.

Mr. Chris, you have “your work cut out for you,” as the saying goes. Thank you for doing the heavy lifting. There are way too many “myth makers” out there for most of us to come even close to accomplishing what you do.

Hello Chris, sorry for your loss. This was very informative, thank you. Curious- have you looked at Dr Thomas Seyfried's research on cancer and high fat keto. It seems contradictory to what other research esp. what I have heard vegan doctors share. Would be great to hear a more informed opinion on it- because its all very confusing.

Oh Chris so sorry to hear of your family's loss ♡🐕 I'm sure your good doge won the family lottery going to loving folks like you!! My guy is almost 10 and I will be beyond wrecked when he goes. Thank you for this riveting video as usual, but please take all the time you need to grieve your doge with your family ♡

I’m so sorry for your loss 🐶💕😞 May your grief pass quickly, leaving only happy memories of Buddy🙏🏻💕

Very sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved companion, I miss my dogs too, got one when I was a kid and the second in my highschool years and lost both of them to hit and runs. It's incredible the bond one can form with animals, specially when they keep you company and cheer you up all the time. Excellent video as usual, hats off

So sorry for your loss; we also suddenly lost one of our companion animals in March, it's been devastating

Chris, I am so sorry about your dog. I too had a dog that came to us with health problems. But he ended up being a wonderful little companion and lived a happy life. The worst part about owning dogs is that they do not live as long as us :(

Chris - Sorry to hear about your loss, I could feel your emotion and admiration for your pup! Thank you for this incredible episode. I was once a Gary Taubs disciple. I also read Nina T book, which was is an obvious plagiarism of Taubs. I am now WFPB. This episode is a home run ! Thank you!! Also, thanks for reminding me how much I love my pup (a yellow lab, now 12 yo, named Koko, who has helped me through many a difficult time!).

The misinformation and outright lies from Diamond are maddening. So glad there are people like you calling them out in detail.

Im so glad I stumbled upon your channel back then. It's a god send for all the facts & information you tirelessly gather and present. Thank you truly Chris, please keep the videos comin

I’m so sorry for the loss of your sweet friend. He’ll always hold a place in your heart. Thank you for sharing him with us.

Thank you Chris, for making this video despite losing your canine companion! My condolences.

Ya. Thanks for doing this! Dr Diamond is very convincing and funny. But unfortunately very wrong. Good luck to the people who buy into his misinformation.🙏

My heart goes out to you for your loss. My cat is sick and it's been worrying me to no end. It's so easy to form a strong bond with a pet over many years - who else is overjoyed to see you when you come home every single time? - and then so painful to lose them. Sending you hugs from Canada. Wonderful video as always, many of us highly appreciate your efforts here, correcting all of the misinformation out there - from reading the other comments it seems I'm not alone in having fallen for some of it at one point. And what a great idea making some of those old papers more easily searchable and available!

Wow, I just found you and have been tearing through the videos. Honestly, I think your content is too in depth for the casual plant-curious person... but I say that only to make you feel better about not having more subscribers! You should have millions! But also, what makes your channel what it is is that you're not at all sensationalist and are completely focused on the truth and science of the matter. I applaud you, sir.

Me too!!!

My sincerest condolences to you. The loss of a companion pet is deeply heartbreaking.

Putting up properly digitalized copies of those often cited nutrition sources is a real public service. I guess you need a website.

@@PlantChompers I'm surprised they (the publishers) have not revisited those poor copies in decades. I understand it somewhat for obscure papers, but these are cited a lot.

I hope someone sends this video to David Diamond. He should be embarassed for his second rate Nina Teicholz impersonation

Thank you for this video and all your others - they're very thought provoking, fascinating and well written. I used to be in the 'meat and sat fat' is healthy crowd until I went Vegan and videos like yours do a great job at combating misinformation. And I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your faithful hound, that secion of the video chocked me up a little - sending love!

Chris MaCaskill is on the right side of history. So glad you're here, Chris!

I was wondering why you hadn’t come up in my KZread feed; I’m still mourning a dog I lost 9 years ago!

I’ve been a fan since your very 1st video and I have to say this video is at another level entirely. Thank you for all you do, and like so many other commenters, I so sorry for your loss. I recently lost my doggie and it has been so difficult. Thank you for trodding thru and finishing this important video.

This just might be your best video yet...which is saying a lot because they're all amazing. (And I'm saying this as a scientist and statistician.) Also, I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing our furry family members is truly heartbreaking. Wishing you peace and comfort as your mourn your sweet dog.
