The history and thus the data shows the opposite. The more „civilized“ a society gets, the more violence there is against children. Today it is not that obvious, because there was a shift from physical violence to symbolic violence, but that doesn‘t make it any better. Michel Foucault, Emile Durkheim, Pierre Bourdieu and many other social scientists described these mechanisms at large.

And this is what made our bodies smaller, made us reproduce more and started the downfall of humans and their surroundings (farming crops and animals). A downfall that started 10.000 years ago and is peaking today. When we scavenged for food, and it was not all conentrated in one place like a farm, our population followed the natural wave action of the global ecosystem en food availability. As soon as we started farming, we concentrated all our food (our energy) in a single place, increading the quantity but decreasing the quality of not only our own bodies, but the environment around us. When we stated farming, it was quantity over quality, but quantity one from quality. Farmers took over the world and wiped out most of the hunter gatherers, that lived with the ecosystem instead of changing it drastically. That we ate carb rich foods does not mean it was the best for us, definetly not for the environment that's for sure.

@@sandracheeks1811 Well, there was a time where agriculture was far more extensive, mainly in western societies. Agricultural land wasn't so intensively used, and included lots of (somewhat) natural elements. Think about pools of water, rich soil from livestock, hedges and treerows, stone walls. Lots of half natural element that at the time would mimic the primary habitat for a lot of life, and in someway actually imitated a grazed, parkland like landscape, with patches of forest, water, grassland etc. just more organised to suit our needs. If the quality of nature and the quantity of our yields were shown in a graph, you would see that the more we produced on smaller pieces of land, the more the quality of nature went down. However, somewhere we did reach a balance point between nature and agriculure, with lots of life in the land that we use to produce our food. That balance point is now gone, because with agriculture, it's always quantity over quality (of which we are slowly seeing the turning point with regenerative agriculture and organic farming). Over 10.000 years we have gradually degraded the quality of our own body and mental health, together with our environment. Only by promoting more extensive agriculture we can reach it again. But if so much people want food, intensive agriculture using poison and syntethic fertilizer will remain dominant, drastically lowering the overall quality of our people and our land. Without agriculture this would not have happened, but like you say, if it wasn't for agriculutre we would not have technology PS sorry for the long text.

Dairy is extremely unhealthy and unnatural food for humans. Would you drink dog milk or giraffe milk? Why not? Cows have their own babies, and those babies are the only ones that should be drinking that milk. In the dairy industry cows are artificially inseminated every year, and as soon as the calves are born, they're ripped away from their mothers and killed, or if they are females, they are turned into milking machines like their mothers. All of this because humans want to drink that milk instead. Dairy causes all kinds of health problems and diseases, such as allergies, asthma, acne, infertility, premature puberty, cramps, inflammation, cancer, and osteoporosis. Cow's milk is an acidic food, and our body neutralizes its acidity by leching calcium from our bones. It is no coincidence that osteoporosis rates are highest in countries where they drink the most milk (US, UK, Sweden and Finland). Cow's milk has a protein in it called casein, and the purpose of casein is to make the calf "addicted" to the milk, so it will drink it as much as possible to grow fast into a 650 kg ruminant. Casein is also a carcinogen, so it causes humans cancer. Extra casein is used in the production of cheese, which makes cheese as addictive as crack cocaine.

VICtorian071 When you compare animals to plants, you're really just laughing at the suffering of actually sentient beings, both animals and humans. Plants don't have brains or nervous systems, so they don't think or feel pain; they don't *experience* their existence in any way. And btw, if you eat animal products, you "kill" 15-20 times more plants than vegans, because cows, pigs and chickens eat a shit-ton of them before they end up on your plate. To minimize the amount of plants killed you need to go vegan. Vegans are the healthiest people on the planet and live 7-9 years longer than average, so it's ridiculous to say that veganism is dangerous. It's dangerous to eat meat, milk and eggs, because they are the leading causes for diseasese and death in western countries. 15 of the leading causes of death in the US could be mostly prevented/reversed/cured with a vegan diet. How is eating meat natural to us? As said, eating it kills us. We can't even catch or kill anything without tools, much less eat their corpses raw without throwing up or getting sick. Animal agriculture is destroying our planet; it's the leading cause for climate change, the destruction of forests, land erosion, ocean dead zones, the pollution of air, waters and soil, and it's the leading cause for the sixth mass extinction of species which is going on right now. Veganism is the only thing that can save us at this point.

Africans eat a ton of starch; cassava, sweet potatoes, millet, corn (maize). The main dish is always a starch, served with green vegetables, beans, peas usually cooked with some nut butter like peanut (groundnut) or sesame seeds (simsim). Growing up in Uganda, our family ate meat once a week. We did have milk, fresh from our cows. I do not remember seeing any overweight people. Two years ago, I went home and ate just like they do, totally against my American diet. Every meal was packed with starchy grain or root vegetables. I thought for sure I was going to gain weight. To my surprise, I lost 7 pounds in about 4 weeks. I did notice that they eat a small breakfast then lunch and dinner. They eat little to no snacks in between so you go for at least 4 hours without eating anything. Plus, they walk everywhere.

I've switched to (mostly) plant based diet, ate brown rice, red rice and all kind of unprocessed rice, and veggies for nearly a year. The result is the better health and weight loss. He speaks the truth! Dont mixed up bad carbs and good carbs people! They're totally different. Animal fat makes you fat, not starch or carbs.

For those who value their health, let me summarize it for you. Meat should represent less than 25% of your diet, and avoid cooking it at high temperature. Avoid refined sugars, avoid processed/packaged food, avoid salts, eat a large variety of whole foods, organic when you can afford it. Don't smoke, don't take legal/illegal drugs, don't drink a lot, sleep early and plenty, avoid stress.

The real raw truth about humans is that our diets should be accustomed to the geographical area our ancestors thrived in. Most of those diets were fruit, vegetable and grain based. Hunting for meat wasn't an every day thing and of course animals aren't going to die for your leisure. Hunting was hard work which is why gathering (fruits and vegetables) became the main part of nutrition. He isn't lying to you. Our bodies weren't meant to handle high sugar, meat and chemical diets. Try it. If you don't believe eating this diet will work that's fine but what can you possible lose from truly eating healthy? One shouldn't be afraid of the possibilities...

What's the distinction, scientifically speaking, between 'natural' chemicals and 'industrial chemicals'? Plenty of natural chemicals are bad or even actively carcinogenic or toxic. Here's another way to think about it: let's say someone is holding you at gunpoint and forces you to drink one of two chemicals. One is poisonous and the other is an anti-oxidant. All they're willing to tell you about them is that one is distilled from a plant and the other was made in a lab. Should that affect your decision in any way? Why should random chemical X, which was made by humans, be viewed with any more or less suspicion that chemical Y, which was made by a plant? Plants don't give a shit about what's good for you, they're just trying to survive. Humans at least have to pretend to care.

My oncologist told me this and I did well for a long time until I got lazy about it. Good thing is it's never too late to start over

I have great respect for Dr. M. I believe this diet works for many people. I have been diabetic for many years. I followed his recommendations for many months. Easy to follow and loved the food. My results however were terrible. My blood sugar went up more than ever. I took a year off work to find the solution for my health. I tried many different food plans. Eating grains starches and beans made my blood sugar go up every time. Finally I followed a Keto diet and within 30 days my blood sugar returned to normal. I have followed this plan for more than 2 years. To be honest I would prefer to follow Dr M,s food plan, it just doesn't work for me. If at some time I become more carb tolerant I will eat more. I always eat a big low carb salad. I eat healthy fats like avocados and coconut oil. I very rarely it any processed food. I think the most important thing we can do is eat real food. What we don't need to do is attack people who follow a different plan. One size does not fit everyone. I would have no problem recommending Dr M's diet, and have many times. I have talked to many people about the Keto diet. At work I've talked to several women who went on this diet before I worked there. There results were amazing. I never push people to follow any particular diet. If you're interested Dr Jason Fung is a good source of information. If it works for you fine. If not that's fine too. The bottom line is we need to take responsibility for our own health. Peace

What's so interesting is that I read the same types of comments on high carb/vegan/keto/paleo videos. They all go something like "I switched to said diet and lost X amount of pounds and could stop taking X and X medicine and my blood levels improved, my energy, mood etc". How is this possible when the diets seem so contradictory? We all seem to lean in one direction and vehemently oppose the other side even when they're speaking of their health improving. We should celebrate each others health. It is however interesting to note the similarities in these different diets. They all focus on foods found in nature. Another thing worth noting is that the diets aren't super specific and so they can be practiced in a number of different ways, for example someone doing keto might include seed oils (and perhaps have terrible health consequences because of it) and someone does vegan might eat a lot of refined sugars (and experience the terrible consequences of that). Also, different humans might thrive on different foods. We know that about allergies and such but maybe it also extends to overall health in regards to our diets. And if nothing else, at least we can all agree that fasting is healthy for us no matter what diet we choose.

He's right, I've been following his diet plan for about a month and the change (and weight loss) is dramatic. You can get yourself into shape by avoiding animal products...beef, chicken, fish, pork, eggs, dairy products, shellfish, and vegetable oils. Specifically, the highest benefit is your arteries and circulatory system change and becomes more flexible and pliable instead of hard, blood pressure lowers and stabilizes.

I tried this diet (Starch Solution) for about 6 months and it just did not work for me! I gained fat, farted so much (LOL), and was hungry most of the time. I became more insulin resistant (the diet didn't cause it, just made it worse). I switched to HFLC pescatarain diet about 2 weeks ago (a lot of fat, a lot of leafy greens, moderate amount of protein, and a few carbs) and I already feel better! I lost around 2 kgs (a little less than 5 pounds), and I no longer feel that extreme hunger I used to feel. I stick to foods that are low in GI as much as I can. That seems to work for me. That's just my experience so if you're insulin resistant, think twice before munching on these starches. If not, go ahead and give it a try :)

That's because, since the vegan diet is so close to what our hunter-gather ancestors used to eat, you'd have to do the same amount of exercise as they did as well. the reason you're farting so much is because you aren't allowing your liver and kidneys to detox through sweating. you need to do some kind of intense activity for 2 hours everyday.

I appreciate your theory but why would you call our ancestors "hunters" if they were vegans? unless they were hunting for those carnivorous plants... that I can call a vegan hunter. Otherwise, stating that our ancestors' diet is close to a vegan diet is a bit of a stretch. We don't really know what they ate! We can't be 100% sure.

Read as many books and as many articles. Eventually you will start to see common things between them.

I am a South African, most of African diet is starch and veggie. My grandparents lived to be 94 and 88.

Thank you, Doctor. Keep up your work spreading the good word about the truths about our food.

This doctor knows what he is talking about. His life has been surrounded by patients of various diseases. He is an expert. Haters are not.

In the Blue Zones they also ate Beans! Beans added to a meal of starchy rice slows the carbohydrate intake of the rice . And it slows the carbohydrate intake of the second meal and sometimes the third meal (new scientific studies).Thus people stayed thin even though they ate starchy foods high in carbs.

I do applaud you! People needs to see that we are what we eat... that’s why i change my diet to the Mother Nature... and I do grow my on fruits and vegetables on my back yard and freeze it for the winter... that working on the soil is my therapy!

If all that doesn't convince you: Our word for starch here in Germany is Stärke. Not so coincidentally as I'm convinced, Stärke is also the word for strength, both physically and in countless metaphoric ways.

How does this man make sense to you when he's telling you to eat sugars that people never even knew about three hundred years ago and no one, not a living human native being has ever been vegan. That's impossible.

What a direct and intelligent address. Thank you doctor. There are some perpheral additions like Olega-3's and making sure our vitamins and minerals are not deficient, and that we are not poisoning ourselves with lead from our waterlines and chlorine in our water, but this material you present is the foundation of it all, and you're so very right. Thank you for taking the time to remind us of what we already (should) know.

A one sized fits all diet is not the answer for EVERY human population on the planet. For ANY diet you can name, there will be folks that will NOT do well on that diet and yet will improve on some OTHER diet. What is next? Should we insist that we all receive the same treatment for sickness....no matter what our individual needs? What about indigenous people who are predominately hunters and do well? What about populations living on fish and seaweed? Perhaps our genetic populations evolve some differences to fit what was available to fit our needs. Even then that needs to be individualized and to fit our health, exercise level....and change of seasons.

mark y I recently started really boosting my intake of starches. It's amazing how something so simple can make you feel so good. Last night I felt the need to eat something before going to bed. So I had a bowl of oatmeal. That really did the trick. Years ago I would have opted for something high fat and high protein like sausage. Sure the sausage satisfied me and made me feel good; but it felt good the way drugs make you feel good*. The oatmeal felt good in a healthy sort of way. *I am not opposed to the responsible use of recreation drugs. I was just making the analogy that the feeling you get from eating processed animal products is more akin to getting high than getting healthy.

Yes I agree heavy on the starch light on meat and dairy . I have lost 35 lbs an kept it off for 2 years. My only health problem now is high blood pressure which I developed at age 50.

Being an Asian, I rarely eat meat so do my family and many people that I know. Meat is not a big portion in our diet. Our main diet mostly contain lots of vegetables and fruits. We only eat meat occasionally or during special celebrations. I still believe meat is somehow important in our diet just that we need to control the consumption.

I’m pretty sure the animals wouldn’t agree with you.

The commonality I see among all of these successful diets, whether keto, paleo, veggie/vegan, etc., is people are cutting out things like processed foods and sodas, they're increasing fiber, and typically they're increasing their exercise.

These indigenous diets are also matched to the group of people involved. They evolved to eat what was available in their region Move them to a new region and there is a mismatch . Typically such a move changes diet AND exercise patterns.

Nutritionists either advocate elimination of animal protein or simple sugars. If you eat both, however, you have a dangerous combination.

One of the most dynamic presentations I've experienced. Watched it several times to soak it all in. But at 10:37 he totally won me over. Several months now, and my health transformed. The beauty is he gives you a workable replacement for our food addictions,; vegan (I'm currently vegetarian) comfort food. You don't miss meat and the greasy smell of fast food,...uuugggh.

The rice, wheat, and corn in my local supermarket today is not the same rice, wheat, and corn that my grandmother ate 110 years ago. Dr. McDougall doesn't mention that. He also never uses the word "sugar" and never explains how 21st century Americans are supposed to get essential amino acids and essential fatty acids from carbohydrates without taking copious quantities of supplements.

Then you have fringe idealists and researchers with strong opinions, that could be right or wrong, who lack evidence to support their claims. This guy is not talking about the biology of ingesting starch, and is using the macro approach, but is not citing much in either case. Scientific consensus and a lack of evidence are killing us.
