What do current studies tell us about the risk of heart disease and cancer on an animal-based diet? In this episode Zane debunks the common school of thought around modern lifestyle diseases.
QUICK NOTES FROM ZANE:
- A High protein diet reduces liver fat
- Recent studies don't support the recommendation to reduce saturated fat in the diet
- A low carb diet led to better weight loss and blood sugar control than exercise
- A healthy low carb diet with increased saturated fat decreased triglycerides and increased HDL
- Total cholesterol range with lowest risk of mortality is 210-249 mg/dl
- A high saturated fat, no starch diet led to weight loss with no effect on lipid levels in patients with heart disease
- Saturated fats do not impair vascular function or arterial stiffness when replacing MUFA or carbohydrates
- Evidence from RCT's does not support the current dietary fat guidelines
- Red meat does not cause cancer in Asians... or anyone else
- Studies show consumption of red meat does not cause health risk and may be health protective
- Omega-6 polyunsaturated fat linoleic acid promotes oxidative stress, oxidized LDL, chronic low-grade inflammation and atherosclerosis
- Increase in post meal LDL, triglycerides and apo B particles with fructose more than just glucose
- The organizations who determine our nutrition guidelines are funded by the largest processed food corporations.
