Dear Dr Bikman Thank you for clearing up all the falsehoods and proving that millions of people have suffered for decades due to the greed of big pharma

Professor Bikman your hard work is very much appreciated. You have changed my life for the better, I can't thank you enough.

And speaking of Calgary... Hi from Calgary! Now, can you give my doctor a call? He's in a PANIC because my LDL is through the roof since I went all Keto last August. In my lifetime, I've lost more than 300 pounds. After being treated for t-2 diabetes for 30 years, I almost lost my foot in Nov 2022. The following August, I came across Dr. Pradip Jamnadas, who eloquently explained it. I did everything he and so many others have said, I cut out high carbs, processed food, and seed oil, lost 70 pounds, triglycerides way down, HDL up and LDL really up a complete reversal of t2 diabetes A1C of 5.7... after all of that. He wants me on a staten and to stop consuming saturated fat. Hello, news desk, I think I found the problem.

@@nevillegoddard4966 I know, right. Unfortunately, it's not just my doctor. Sadly, I think it's the majority of them, especially in Canada. I spent more than two hours explaining the relationship between triglycerides, HDL, LDL and VLDL and how they relate, especially with a low-carb diet. I gave him a couple of links. I think he's gonna be alright, but it took 40 years of sales and marketing experience to bring him around. The sentence that hit him the hardest was "You treated me for diabetes for more than 30. years and I almost lost my foot. Three weeks on a low-carb high-fibre, moderate protein diet and I was off all diabetic drugs in two weeks and a perfect A1c 6 months later." Now that's medicine.

Dr David Unwin gave the advice to his patients to eat plenty of saturated fat, meat, eggs and salt but avoid carbohydrates (bread, rice pasta, bananas, apple etc). Hundred patients lost weight, improved liver and kidney function, came off diabetes medications saving £70,000 in medicine costs for ten years. He recorded all stats over several years and published them in journals. If only every Doctor would do their job and above all first do no harm (conventional practice results in amputations, heart/kidney failure etc).

Yeah and refuse the clot shots

About 2 1/2 years ago when i was diagnosed with T2 Diabetes my A1C was 10.4. I went on the lowest dose of metformin possible and went on a low carb high fat diet. 3 months later my A1C was 5.4. The only time it went up was when I was eating Mission Low Carb Tortillas regularly (they're a lie; a glucose test showed my blood glucose spiked to 154 just from eating one). My A1C went to 5.7, but more relevant to this conversation is that my Triglycerides spiked to 320. Cutting those out, 3 months later my A1C was 5.4 again and my Triglycerides were 128. 3 months after that they were 99. I didn't change anything else about my diet. Today I'm at 5.4-5.5 with no medication at all, and I'm not super-militant about my diet but I do avoid GPS (Grains, Potatoes, and Sugars) pretty heavily.

Next time you eat any kind of tortilla brand, keep some in your pantry and see how long it will last. It will stay fresh for months, meaning super high amounts of preservatives, let alone, bunch of unnecessary ingredients. It's just BS.

Two years ago I consulted a "preventive" cardiologist for my diabetes and known coronary artery disease. He just about threw me out his office when I told him I was considering a "ketogenic" diet. Then he went on to say I needed to be on a "plant based" diet, preferably the "Mediterrranean" diet, and that I needed to immediately embark on regular injections of PCSK9 inhibitors. Unfortunately, I believe that my experience is NOT rare. Thank goodness we have great scientists like Dr. Ben Bikman to set the record straight and help us progess toward better metabolic health!

As a cell biology major in college and a med school dropout, I have thoroughly enjoyed this lecture. Thank you, Dr. Bikman. I have subscribed to your channel.

Fat Tuesday is the BEST day of the week!! Thank you Dr. Bikman. Oh and the glasses ROCK! I'd like to say you DASH'd my hopes, but in truth you have once again reinforced the idea of how a proper human diet includes saturated fats. Well done, and THANK you for providing links to the quoted studies.

Dr... I absolutely love the way you dig in and truly teach, you are a refreshing breath of medicine . Thank you.

On a keto diet I eat huge amounts of saturated fat through bacon, red meat, eggs etc. and my triglycerides are ROCK bottom at 43 and HDL is a VERY healthy 84 and my waste circumference is 34. Take that food industry that's forever trying to hook me on carbs!

Your comments about high-carb-high-fat diets being terrible reminds me of mechanisms in the Randle Cycle. I'd love to see an episode dedicated to that topic and its relationship to insulin resistance, assuming the Randle Cycle is indeed a valid mechanism in the cells. I'm still trying to wrap my head around how it works and whether its even valid.

The last study where saturated fat is combined with hypercaloric high carb diet brings to mind the Randle cycle where there’s a danger in combining fat and sugars together.

Excellent explanation. Dr. Bikman sets the example of properly done science, and simple, easily understood concepts for the lay person.

Dr Bikman - Thank you, so much, for all the research you do, and the care you take to keep me informed of the truth of the matter! If I had to figure this out myself, I’d be lost. I appreciate you!

Ben there is a study that compared DASH to low carb in Type 2 diabetics. Low carb reduced blood pressure twice as much as DASH. If you put DASH into the search on Dr Berry's channel he talks about it. The study not that old.

1988 was a great year, not only did Calgary, AB host the Winter Olympics I was giving birth to my first child during the event in Fort Mc Murray, AB. Great memories and as well , great video.

Insulin Resistance is a protection mechanism of the cell against glucose. All by the beautiful mechanisms of the Randle Cycle

Someone need to inform Ms Charmaine Dominguez about these studies. She's a plant based dietition been all over youtube making shorts telling ppl that sat fat causes IR. When I asked her to explain the mechanism she said she will once I join her free training programme. Unless she knows something Dr Bikman doesn't which I highly doubt.....

I LOL when you said miserable diet. You NEVER complain, judge harshly, or made jokes. You are so very straight up. I was so surprised when you used the word miserable that it got me. Not to encourage you too much but that little Segway from your usual personality was great. Excellent work. This is an important topic and you are the first I’ve seen tackle this saturated fat in so much detail. I watch because I have stubborn high trigs. They do go down on low carb but I worry about the fat. My gene report from FYF by Dr. Rhonda Patrick says I might have trouble metabolizing saturated fat. I’m supposed to increase monounsaturated fat. I think better outcomes like Bp,sleep, trigs might be more important.

What kind of fat is human body fat? Like, what never made sense to me is that people would say not to eat saturated fat… but what if human body fat is saturated fat??? I have done water fasts between 3-17 days long. On a most recent 7 day water fast, I had my blood drawn on day 5 and of course, my cholesterol and triglycerides were elevated. Now just looking at that bloodwork would appear that I am not healthy (according to mainstream doctors, like mine.) But once I began eating my usual low carb diet, my numbers went back to normal. Just wondering if the elevated because I was literally only consuming body fat (saturated fat???). The body is fascinating!

Thank you for such a well presented talk, the bravery to critique your own work and explain its misinterpretation by others. As a T1D I now better understand why, if my bsl happens to be higher than ideal, that avoiding intake of both carbs and saturated fat is best avoided, until blood glucose levels return to my normal range say, 70 to 120 mmg/dl (or 3.8 to 6.7 mmol/l. The wisdom of doing so for carbs is self-evident bot was not so much for saturated fat as perversely a highish blood glucose level sometimes makes me feel hungry. I also have found out that really those with T2D or T1D are likely to become insulin resistant to some degree- - in T1D because combating blood glucose rise with peripheral insulin administration cannot match the input and intricacy of insulin infused into the portal vein as a meal is arriving from eating, higher doses are needed. At 57 years on insulin; since age 13, and 5 years on a ketogenic diet with insulin injections (scar tissue making insulin absorption too unreliable for insulin pump infusions of insulin) consistent HBA1cs of 5.2% have made life so much better. I wish that diabetes education about low and very low carb diets included the caution about not eating carbs and saturated fats when blood glucose levels are elevated.

Thank you for the presentation. Wondering if you have any concerns re competing interests of the sponsors of the 2014 Volk study?

Brilliant!

Thank you very much for this presentation. Do you by chance have the cite for the paper at 18:00 regarding outcomes of low vldl vs ldl? Thank you
