  Saturated vs Unsaturated Fat | Eat or Avoid? 08.10.2026 10mnt

  Saturated vs Unsaturated fat, which is better? Are saturated fat foods healthy or harmful? The science on saturated vs unsaturated fat foods, the controversies and the exceptions.Uploaded 15-06-20Subscribe for more free nutrition and health tips: https://bit.ly/2toMJ9uConnect with me:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrGilCarvalho/Twitter: https://twitter.com/NutritionMadeS3Animations: Even Topland @toplandmediaSaturated vs unsaturated fat, let's make sense of fats!Saturated fat is concentrated in animal foods and some plant products like coconut oil while Unsaturated fat is concentrated in plants.Saturated fat raises cholesterol levels. But does it cause heart disease?Classical studies linked saturated fat and heart disease, so saturated fat was widely seen as a problem until a media storm a few years ago. Was saturated fat fine after all? In 2 studies, people eating less saturated fat had just as much cardiovascular disease. So maybe saturated fat is not a factor?Harvard study: People who eat less saturated fat and more unsaturated fat instead have lower risk. Those who eat more whole grains instead also had lower risk. But refined grains were no better than saturated fat.But maybe they eat less saturated fat, less cheese and meat and also smoke less and exercise more. How do we know the saturated fat has anything to do with them being healthier? A brand new study found people told to eat less saturated fat have less cardiovascular disease. It wasn’t clear which food replacements were best but less saturated fat led to less risk. They found no harmful effects of reducing saturated fat.Saturated fat always raises emotions. I used to eat a lot more saturated fat and gradually adapted. Others might make a different decision.This means favoring unprocessed plant foods which are low in saturated vs unsaturated fats. Fish is also a wise choice due to the balance of saturated vs unsaturated fat. Some types of saturated fat are worse than others. We covered dietary patterns low in saturated fat and high in unsaturated fats in previous videos.References:saturated fat and serum cholesterol: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2125600/AHA Advisory: https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.1161/CIR.0000000000000510the 2 studies that generated the media storm and appear at 1st glance to show no harm of saturated fat (subsequent studies clarify this misunderstanding):https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24723079/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20071648/Harvard study clarifying which foods saturated fat must be replaced with to lower risk (explains misunderstanding generated by the 2 meta-analyses above; risk is lowered when saturated fat is replaced by unsaturated fat or whole carbs, but not refined carbs; no significant difference is seen when substitutions are all lumped together as in the 2 above studies): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4593072/ meta-analysis of randomized trials (Cochrane): https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD011737.pub3/fullstearic acid doesn't raise LDL-c: https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/77/5/1146/4689813chocolate and risk:https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S089990071730206Xhttps://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/9/7/688Disclaimer: The contents of this video are for informational purposes only and are not intended to be medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, nor to replace medical care.

  Dr Stella Immanuel, hydroxychloroquine and our BANNED videos 08.10.2026 13mnt

  Dr. Stella Immanuel's now banned hydroxychloroquine video led me to publish a fact-check that was also banned! An objective look at Dr. Stella Immanuel's statements, hydroxychloroquine and COVID. Can we all get on the same page re: hydroxychloroquine?Uploaded 03-08-20My video on Dr. Stella Immanuel has been banned. Dr. Stella Immanuel's press conference on hydroxychloroquine and COVID went viral but video was banned. I published a fact check of Dr. Stella immanuel’s statements but it was also taken downLet's address the hydroxychloroquine controversy and Dr. Immanuel's viewsmost of the coverage of Dr. Stella immanuel focused on her supernatural beliefs. But we should focus on the science. dr immanuel has also dismissed dissenting views, calling studies showing no benefit of hydroxychloroquine "fake science”different sources generate different views. the same is happening with hydroxychloroquinewe'll cover hydroxychloroquine alone vs in combinationI can ask if people who took hydroxychloroquine do better. But there are many uncertaintiesIn this study, COVID patients treated with hydroxychloroquine had lower mortality.but the group that received hydroxychloroquine might have been healthier to begin with. the patients hydroxychloroquine had fewer risk factors for heart disease. hydroxychloroquine patients were also more likely to be given steroids, which are effective against Covid-19.Combo: hydroxychloroquine + azithromycin + zincmost RCTs look at hydroxychloroquine alone or with azithromycin. So people have said, ok, hydroxychloroquine hasn’t been effective in the RCTs but maybe the triple combo worksso we know hydroxychloroquine alone or combined with azithromycin has shown mixed results in observational trials and RCTs do not support a benefit In the conditions testedFor the triple combo, the observational evidence is encouraging and RCTs are comingif anybody says “we know hydroxychloroquine doesn’t work, period. in any condition, any context, we just know it”. that’s not true. But it’s just as misleading to say that “hydroxychloroquine works” or to call it a “cure”David Katz video: hydroxychloroquine has side effects. someone at high risk for COVID might justify the risks of hydroxychloroquine (in triple combo)Connect with me:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrGilCarvalho/Twitter: https://twitter.com/NutritionMadeS3Animations: Even Topland @toplandmediaReferences:https://www.ijidonline.com/article/S1201-9712(20)30534-8/fulltexthttps://www.cnn.com/2020/07/31/health/hydroxychloroquine-study-henry-ford-letters/index.htmlhttps://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2019014https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.05.02.20080036v1https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-8309337/Zinc-hydroxychloroquine-effective-COVID-19-patients-study.htmlhttps://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.05.02.20080036v1https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xqCg12rOPMDisclaimer: The contents of this video are for informational purposes only and are not intended to be medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, nor to replace medical care.

Its fine to watch it, but our main source of life and death info, like nutrition, shouldn’t be movies, documentary or not, with industry ties or not.

  8 Food Habits Keeping You Unhealthy | STOP the Self Sabotage 07.10.2026 23mnt

  Subscribe for more free nutrition and health tips: https://bit.ly/2toMJ9uUploaded 11-01-21Eating is a routine, so we develop automatic subconscious habits that guide our day to day choices without us even realizing it.Today we’re gna take a look at 8 bad food habits that keep us unhealthy Before I realized these bad habits, I was getting unhealthy. When I replaced my bad food habits with good food habits, my health changed dramatically. you’re probably thinking it takes a lot of time to eat healthy and it’s a sacrifice, you can never eat anything you like. truth is I spend LESS time cooking and I enjoy my food more due to good habits being in place and dodging the bad habitsbad food habit #1 is relying on willpowerwe’ve all made new years resolutions but time goes by and we go back to old habits. we put pressure on ourselves to change but don’t set up the conditions to succeed. success is less about willpower and more about skillpower.willpower instinct: great willpower is not about fighting instincts, its about harnessing themWe can make our willpower battles easier by using leverageself-control is rooted in self-knowledgebad food habit #2: fear of standing out. eating is a cultural and social eventIt’s normal for people to notice your change of habit and ask.What if you live with people who have different habits? In some ways it strengthens the habitthe 3rd habit to kick to the curb is shopping for the advice we wana hearmost common health concerns, losing some weight, lowering cholesterol or glucose are doable with some tweaks to our lifestyleBad food habit #4 is the one-size-fits-all diet. why shouldn’t our health goals be personalized?We decide to eat xyz, then we don’t stick with it and we feel like a failure.basic principles apply to everybody. Smoking isn’t healthy for anyone and neither is a diet full of ultraprocessed foods, added salt and sugar and saturated fat. But there is a lot of wiggle roomIf your eating plan is so strict it requires u to cheat, maybe you're going too far too fast. it’s ironic that one of the main obstacles when trying to fix our eating habits is to bite off more than we can chewWho wants to lose 3lb in a month? We wana lose 30 or 40. or overhaul our entire diet overnightThe yo-yo of losing weight and putting it back is destructive. So kick the habit of choosing goals made by and for other people. 4 habits down. Bad food habit #5 is identifying with our habitsWe say things like I wana get fit but I just don’t like to exercise. I wana eat healthy but I just like junk food too much. our preferences are just habits we builtBad food habit #6 is confusing simple with easyEating healthy is simple but not easy. Fresh fruits and vegetables, easy on the processed stuff. that’s 90% of nutrition. you already know how to eat healthyBad food habit #7 is obsession with the short termthe habits you built 10y ago are still with you. losing weight is good, but it’s 1 component of health. Every healthy dietary pattern will help you move towards and maintain a healthy weight, but not every diet that helps you lose weight is healthy. what goes for weight loss, goes for the obsession with muscles and six pack abs. I see people throwing their health to the wind for the promise of bigger musclestheories that you need to load up on saturated fat or cut fiber-rich foods to get buff and lean. None of that is true, you can get fit and build muscle on a health-promoting diet with adequate protein intake and the right physical activityyou don’t need to compromise your long-term health to get short-term results so do not settle last bad food habit is minimizing the impact of food habitsWarren Buffet: chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken. get started as soon as you can. you don’t need a grand new years resolution lik Learn more about your ad choices.
