In countries that eat rice as a staple never have they eaten rice with the husk. Countries have been eating their staple food such as rice, potatoes and pasta for centuries. Lets stop kidding ourselves. We eat too much, we eat sugar and processed foods like never before and we sit for too long. We are more educated as ever before but we've learnt how to make believe in so much. We don't think of food as sustenance but only how it tastes. One hour in the gym and sitting for the majority of time will never equal to a body that is moving majority of the time. Maybe it's time to take a few steps back, we deffo have stepped into something we all know is doing terrible damage to us yet we don't want to fully acknowledge this.

I remember as a working adult in the 1980's going to do my food shopping and realizing that almost everything in the supermarket was pure chemicals, corn and sugar. No you can barely find any breads that do not have sugar in them. He was right about the sweet drinks and sodas. I was raised on them and have health issues thanks to Coke and Dr. Pepper. This was a massive fraud - like almost all our business and industry is in the USA now - every damn thing.

Another good post tx 👍

It’s really a bad situation in the US. I had to fly recently and there wasn’t one healthy option for a meal at the airport. Luckily I brought a bag of plain organic nuts and a piece of fruit to get me by for the day. I feel so much better since I have been making homemade sprouted wheat bread with nuts and sprouted seeds.

Airports are notorious food deserts. I always carry nuts, at least one piece of fruit, and a Santa Cruz peanut butter sandwich made with Ezekiel flourless bread. (Available in most Western grocery store frozen food aisles)

@@Teak701 Yes Ezekiel bread is the best. I can’t buy it in the small town where I live so I make a homemade no knead bread with sprouted wheat, flax, chia, sprouted sunflower seeds and sprouted pumpkin seeds. I just add water salt and teaspoon of olive oil. It’s so much better than store bought bread. I think it’s sad that the airports have no healthy food at all.

Dr. Willett is amazing! Thrilled to see him on your podcast. 👏👏👏

The supermarket just dont have enough of variety of vegetables and food available.

The beverage of sugar sweetened truth, is the larger concern if you ask me

I'm not about to say rice and potatoes are perfect, but I find it odd that people as knowledgeable as Prof Willett talk about starchy foods as if that's the only thing you eat for a meal. I can only imagine that he hasn't even eaten rice because he repeats the line about it how it has a high GI value. That's true, but people don't eat rice or potatoes alone, any more than they eat just bread and nothing else. It's a similar issue that you see when someone talks about what mechanisms or rat studies say while not looking at the human trials. Just look at the countries that have the longest life expectancy and the top ten contains several countries that are known for eating white rice. In fact, the top 3 are Hong Kong, Macao, and Japan. If white rice is that bad, then certainly nobody told these people.

Yes this puzzled me as I was listening, too. I understand that ‘whole’ is healthier than refined, but wouldn’t even white rice normally be eaten with a pile of mixed stir-fried or curried veggies, chickpeas, peppers, mushrooms etc? I’d have thought the fibre and protein would slow down the sugar absorption?

@@dennisward43 -Sugar addiction is a myth, just like saying that it causes children to become hyper active. There is absolutely no evidence it is addictive. Further sugar doesn't cause diabetes. Type 1 is caused by the destruction of pancreas cells, and type 2 is due to being overweight. In fact, if you are doing a study on diabetes with animals, feeding them a high-fat diet is the surest way to induce it.

hmm if white rice, potatoes and bread were the worst things in our diet - we'd be much healthier people for it.

What about milk? I like kefir. I think is is doing me some good.

I’d rather have sugar sweetened beverages than chemical sweeteners that are unhealthy and incredible cheap and much cheaper than natural sugar. The multinational food companies would rather we drink chemical sweeteners, they make much more money on them. What is conveniently ignored is per capita consumption of sugar in the UK has been coming down since the 1970s, but commentators like this guy would have you believe it is rising, but as obesity goes up so does the consumption of chemical sweeteners.

Everything you eat is chemical. Sugar included. If you want a better 'natural' sweetner per se then use stevia or erythritol. These are much better for your body then sucrose (table sugar).

There are natural alternatives like stevia and monk fruit. Wouldn't have a lot of them either, but it's better than the other stuff. I get nauseated if I only drink water. A daily glass of stevia sweetened lemonade fixes that for me. I also put my supplements in it.

Really ? both ways so wrong. Zero % body fat means you dead,. Fat is essential and has 100s of uses in the body, too much ,wrong type , wrong place is bad . As for food lots of good fats, No fat diets are dangerous , so rigid and so FN horrible to eat. What a FN nightmare of a life . Show me a single no fat diet, there is no such thing. Just means you have to eat lots and lots of carbs to compensate , and require body to do extra processing to store fat,. Thankfully fat is now getting much more research , look at people over 90 most slim, to normal and a few overweight , nearly none super skinny . Too skinny in old age means under resourced immune system.

@@tomdee6819 That's true, but the thing I get from continuous YT videos, is what works for someone, may not work for someone else. I would hate a keto diet, and like my ape parents I love nuts, and they had to use rocks to get into some. People are pretty consistent about the amount of fat/oil in their diet . Whether good or bad, It's quite hard to increase it or decrease it significantly. Plus we need to remember that you like me are well off in relation to many in the world . So the likes of oils/carbs are crucial for poor people to get nutrients and enough calories. The most important thing is people want to consistently eat well , it needs to taste great. That veggie salad, will get a big flavour boost with some olive oil, or nuts, or cheese , roast chicken, tuna , eggs , seeds etc . I myself would still love if dry or with say cider or balsamic vinegar, but oil makes it pop. The reason people love say commercial stuff is they know how to boost it with say mayonnaise and pickles

Rules out lots of protein sources. Plus introduces more work and inefficiencies for the body . Muscle stores most of your sugars, easiest to fuel with carbs. Also most on Keto are low carb -eg blueberries and raspberries. So can you really do it long-term with no supplements, jury is still out as early days for longitudinal studies .

Domesticated wolves/dogs eat far more carbs/grains than wild dogs/wolves . and that is "quite" recent . Analysis is getting far better, meat leaves more evidence, so easier to wok out .
