Jet has not said a single word about vitamins being bad. Vitamins are essential to our body. It's in the name.
seed oils are healthier than animal fats.
Do you think this is true because 1. they lower blood lipoproteins and 2. saturated fats cause heart disease? I invite you to read about both of these things, as well as metabolic health in general.
I think we'd all appreciate it if you do not spread dangerous health misinformation by telling people that industrially processed oils are good.
So am I. I think it's lazy to not have an opinion on important topics such as my own health.
-"X food contains Y, which is a poison!!!" Yah, sure, if you eat a preposterous amount of it. For example, the average human would need to eat something like 50 ounces of almonds in one day to be poisoned. That's three pounds of almonds.
Yes, the dose makes the poison. I see that you do agree that almonds contain some poison in the form of Cyanide. Knowing that I would not give children almonds, and I won't eat them, even ignoring other things such as averages being misleading or the water usage of farming almonds. In the same way, I won't eat pufferfish although pufferfish can be raised in a way to not be poisonous. Why risk unnecessary poison?
-The second point repeated multiple times.
Not all poisons are the same. The details are relevant to the discussion.
-Crying about potatoes being a nightshade when humans have spent the last several thousand years engineering out any potential for it to poison us lol
I grew up being told over and over to cut those parts out of potatoes. It's news to me, but again, why risk it? Potatoes can be poisonous, and we don't have to eat them.
-Nutrient blockers: wash your beans and it's a non-issue jfc
If only it were that simple.
Go eat some vegetables.
No thank you. Since I don't have to, on the balance of probabilities I'd really rather not. The other points raised in the video such as lectins, the effects of gluten, protease inhibitors, photosensitizers, and nutrient bioavailability are salient as well.
It's not verging on. There is no science behind the food pyramid, so calling it a conspiracy is absolutely spot-on. I'd use less emotionally loaded words, personally, such as "unscientific," "politically charged," or perhaps "bought and paid for."
based on a nine-year-long investigation, Teicholz shows how the misinformation about saturated fats took hold in the scientific community and the public imagination, and how recent findings have overturned these beliefs. She explains why the Mediterranean Diet is not the healthiest, and how we might be replacing trans fats with something even worse. This startling history demonstrates how nutrition science has gotten it so wrong: how overzealous researchers, through a combination of ego, bias, and premature institutional consensus, have allowed dangerous misrepresentations to become dietary dogma.
Here is a more recent, more detailed discussion between her and Dr Anthony Chaffee:

I hesitate to link the second one, because you are incredulous (and imo quite rightly so, skepticism is a cornerstone of science) and Dr Chaffee is a proponent of a carnivorous diet.
So if you want to be more convincing to bring people to your cause
I'm personally not interested in causes nor dogma. I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. Too much ideology for me. It's your health, your body, and your decisions. I feel obliged to share the information that I learn on the topic, because misinformation is harmful and it irks me that it's allowed to spread. That's about the end of it. I don't want to proselytize or evangelize.
On an aside, the emoji makes it obvious that the summary was automatically generated by LLM, which I rather appreciate.
Slightly angry opinion: if anyone deserves to have their title revoked post-mortem, I'd nominate Ancel Keys. The propagation of his ideology, backed with no evidence nor science, has had, edit: and continues to produce staggering negative consequences for public health around the globe.
This portion of history should be required reading in the first year of every university.
I had a nagging feeling you'd mentioned it somewhere and there it was in your comment just in this very post. Sorry, and thank you for patiently repeating it to me again.
The trick must surely lie in the preparation. We aren't Neanderthals and cook our food, and I'm sure we can find a way to make maggots or other insect larvae appetizing. As you mentioned, they are highly nutritious.
It is appalling that sugar and alcohol are even on the "standard" pyramid. What's more, exercise and weight control aren't even foods. Why are they on there?
