3:28 People who at more saturated fat had fewer strokes. Those who ate less saturated had more strokes. Hmm. I think I'll choose more saturated fats.
3:44 If you're cutting out fat as well, then the majority of your calories are going to come from protein. Even if you have excess body fat, you will still break down large amounts of that protein to either use as energy or store. As such, when you break down amino acids, you necessarily release a nitrogen group that then gets turned into ammonia and that's further transformed into urea in your liver. However, if you are eating too much protein, then this will build up the amount of ammonia that your liver has to process and it gets overwhelmed and you get a build of an excess of ammonia and this can actually cause very serious harm. This can cause liver damage, and your liver enzymes might go up where on a normal high-fat carnivore diet you will never see that. The ammonia can also cause organ damage to the rest of the body, cause neurological issues. You'll have extremely low energy. You can start losing your hair, and this is a symptom people have been seeing recently because they've bought into the whole nonsensical low-fat carnivore idea, and then they're told that this is probably being in ketosis and ketosis is harmful. But if it were harmful, then none of our ancestors would have been able to exist through the Ice Ages when there were no carbohydrates available. All the Inuits would be dead. And I would be dead because I've been doing this for over 8 years now, and 5 years in my early 20 have had no carbs in that entire time apart from what comes naturally in meat. However, when people are new to this and don't understand that ketosis is our natural metabolic state and not a harmful state,
Good to hear that RFK was critical of welfare, saying how it demeans the spirit. But on jobs, he sounded a bit weak, saying in one interview that people needs jobs instead of welfare but not dead-end jobs. But dead-end jobs people can still pick up skills, figure out how to service customers, adopt some social skills that you never could while you were in school. The irony here is that he sounds like he opposes his brother, Ted Kennedy, co-author of the 1965 Immigration Act that opened the flood gates from South and Latin America. If he's opposing welfare, he must oppose immigration welfare. And he's clearly opposing LBJ's Great Society too with his criticism of welfare. Interesting.
