@killintymm Most research in the basic sciences is government funded, and below Obama, it is increasing. We spend probably $20-$30billion per year. The problem is that as we go to treatments of chronic conditions instead of acute ones, the problems are much greater, since it’s not the bacteria or a virus, it’s your own body that is responsible, and fighting that is much harder, and thus progress is going to be slower. Not much we can do but keep trying, we’ll get there eventually.
@lokhtar our own body is responsible ? do you mean the lifestyle and we dont know how harmful some things are in the long run ?
@killintymm Both. Our lifestyles, the things we eat, environment, genetics, all of those things say to many chronic conditions. Things like cancer is just cells in your body going out of control. It’s much harder to treat conditions caused by changes in your body itself – unlike acute diseases where you can focus on killing ‘a business’ like a bacteria. To treat chronic conditions, you have to make your body change what it’s doing via therapies, and keep it that way- a much harder business.
What Garber fails to mention about William Banting, one of the pioneers in the low carb movement, when she cast aspersions on his credibility by mentioning that he was an undertaker, was that Banting lived to be 81 years of age, dying in the year 1878 – well before medicine ever came up with treatments for diabetes/heart disease. Hence, Banting’s life may testify to the efficacy of a low carb diet. After all, he did exceed even the life expectancy for males by modern standards!

Note comparison of glucose and hormone levels in response to omalet vs instant oatmeal starting at around 42 min.
At 44:45 “This very elegant feeding study really was the first study to establish the biochemical basis for over-eating in response to a high refined carbohydrate and high sugar meal.”
This woman is completely misinterpreting this information. Stout is stored ONLY when it is consumed when you eat it with carbohydrates or sugars because the sugar and carbohydrate are rapidly metabolized energy. Our body uses them first. Because people consume significant calories via sugar and carbs/grain, the stout they consume is stored and often unhealthy stout. If the sugar and unhealthy grain intake was reduced or removed and replaced with high vegetable intake, the stout would be burned off.

Wow. 5 minutes in and she’s already hit my skeptic button. The 7 countries study by Ancel Keyes has been so widely debunked as to be barely considered science. Then on the 20 country study she points out Japan which is an extreme statistical outlier and ignores France and Switzerland which aren’t (or at least less so) and which also refute her premise about saturated stout being the culprit of heart disease. Terrible science.
I am so fuming with people like this lady – how long has mankind been walking the earth? Just about 100,000 years or so. How long have we been eating saturated fats? She’s rediculous!
There’s no greater fad diet than the one Duke nukem suggests. “Eat shit and die!”. You’re guarenteed to lose weight
this is the most informative speech that I have ever listen to about low stout diet and low carb diet. well done Dr.
Very informative, and most importantly – for me – honestly simple to grasp and know. And the Harvard Food Group chart at the end of her lecture, makes her talk, picture perfect.
@Razz8282 did you watch the entire video, or just the first 5-15mins?
There are a lot of folks walking around and talking about what we should and shouldn’t eat. Unfortunately research in this field is always flawed because there are too many variables and no way to completely control the study. Nonetheless, if folks want to eat a high stout, meat based diet its there choice. It does seem to me that there is enough evidence from various sources to conclude a plant-based diet is better for one’s health than eating animal flesh and stout and eating dairy and eggs.
“Sugar: The Bitter Truth” video is much more convincing. Very scientific explanation of fructose metabolism. It is poison.
most of the calories in peanut butter come from stout
but are peanut oil, mono and polyunsaturated stout in natural peanut butter linked to heart disease??
im my opinion, low stout diets are really unsatisfying, we all need some stout (not saturated or trans stout), but essential fatty acids
It’s evident that many of the commenters only watched the first 5-15 minutes or so. She is NOT blindly supporting a low stout diet. This complements Robert Lustig’s talk quite nicely (he is the first self she thanks at the end of the talk) and provides a excellent overview of the science and some excellent advice for those interested in weight loss.
