Ep:160 EATING FAT MAY BE REALLY BAD: FAT AND INFLAMMATION - PUFA UNDERSTOOD - by Robert Cywes

Really needed to hear this. My doctor is giving me incredible grief over this eating plan. Btw, I have lowered my A1C from pre-diabetic to normal. I am a 70 year old woman.

Why can't all doctors be like this one?? Such great info💞

I have sarcoidosis in my lungs and when I eat keto I can breath so much better!!! Doc is absolutely right! Sugar and carbs are making America sick and big pharma rich!!! I’ve gone off carbs altogether and now I don’t even crave them! It’s close to a miracle since I’ve been addicted to sugar from very young and I’ll be turning 65 this year! Dirty keto does not break you from addiction! Thank you Doc!!!

I've been chowing on a high-healthy-fat diet for about 2 years, VERY low carb like 5-10% of calories, 70-75% fat, 20-25% protein, and my inflammation level has plummeted to the point of ending my 15 years of plantar fasciitis in only 3 weeks off carbs, also reducing my hands & neck arthritis 90-95% that started in my mid-30s. I'm 50 & thought I was just stuck with the pain. My daily kidney & chest pain stopped, some weird female pain stopped that I was very worried about for a couple years but didn't go yet to get it checked out bcz I was afraid of what they would say, tooth pains stopped, and I have more spine mobility. Its so wonderful to have so much less chronic inflammation that I thought I was stuck with as I age. Almost no carbs in my diet now from a VERY high amount before (see USDA Food Pyramid), and now a very high healthy fats amount every day. It's almost like the opposite of what most doctors say, but my health is a LOT better so I'm totally a believer in the true KETO/LCHF & IF way of life. I'll never go back to the USDA Food Pyramid. I'd have to go on Diabetes meds & insulin injections & kidney dialysis & gall bladder surgery etc if I did. Even my night driving vision is better than 20+ years ago! I recently went stricter on the KETO eating & don't need my reading glasses anymore! That was an unexpected discovery that I kept forgetting to use them. Before I just had to. I avoid bad fats, embrace healthy fats like grass fed butter, cream, olive oil, coconut oil, nuts, avocado, cheese, higher quality bacon, salmon, sardines, our chickens' free range eggs, etc. I hadn't realized before how many healthy fats there are to enjoy. I now make our own butter & yogurt from actually seriously fresh whole cow milk. Fat is fun! Carbs kill.

Here in Norway, it seems like they are going backwards all the time! They still screaming about saturated fats! I never hear anyone talking about all the sugars!! They have now even introduced a 30 pct fat reduction on BUTTER!! The Age of Stupid is here!!

Dude, I wish you were my physician. There's no greater compliment.

Thank you for explaining this so well ! People just cannot stop condemning saturated fat ! It is so frustrating... they constantly ask how I’ve transformed myself ( 3 years keto ... basically carnivore the last year )... and STILL think I’m crazy when I try to explain the importance of saturated fat 🙄😩

Hey Doc. You, Dr Ken, Dr Sten, Dr Boz, Dr Eric and many others have educated us so deeply on great health. This information is priceless and goes so much further than the preachers who say “Do as I do or else”. I never thought my dumb ass would learn so much about how my body really works and how to live healthier lives. I get it now, thanks.

Whenever I'm tempted by some high-carb sweet I imagine Dr. Cywes looking over my shoulder and giving me a "Harrumph" as I reach for it. That is enough to keep me on the straight and narrow.

I have added butter back into my eggs! The best thing I’ve done this year. I am now enjoying my eggs again.😉

I have been following more and more a keto diet and have lost 2 stone in 10 weeks. I go to a fat group once a week where we have an workout then a nutrition chat afterwards. The chap giving the talk totally stressed that saturated fats clogged your arteries and was totally bad. I had to bite my lip. No wonder I am the only one in the group actually loosing weight.

It's good to finally have an explanation on why omega 6 fatty acids are inflammatory.

List of cooking oil with PUFA: Canola oil, Grapeseed Oil, Corn Oil, Soybean Oil, Generic Vegetable Oil, Walnuts Oil, Cottonseed Oil, Sesame Oil, Peanut Oil, Margarine, Flaxseed Oil I wouldn't touch any of them with a ten foot pole. The problem is most restaurants use at least one of them for cooking:(

What an excellent, excellent, excellent video...Thanks very much!!

I was still trying to digest the information and i heard him say, "So let's take this to another level". 🤣🤣🤣. Fantastic and knowledgeable man. 🙌🙌. Keep up the good work..we'll also keep up with the learning. 🤣🤣🤣🤟

Great video, one of the best channels out here on YouTube covering health!

My cardiologist wants me off saturated fat and eating lots of PUFAs. I just think he is completely wrong. I point out that I ate low fat for 20 years, avoiding sat. fat and eating lots of PUFAs, and it made me ill. He still wants me eating PUFAs. He knows much less about nutrition than I now do, and he doesn't want to hear what I know. My goal these days is just to keep my insulin and blood glucose flat-lining and low.

Love saturated fat. I removed sugar from diet. Cheers!

Thank-you Dr Cywes. I would never hear this from my primary care physician.

Love eating the fatty eye of the ribeye. In fact, I usually trim all the meat off of this precious morsel, just to savour it's saturated goodness by itself.
