Dr. Fuhrman — Value of High Fat Foods
The importance of eating nuts and seeds for health, rather than oils and why super low fat eating is not ideal, and more about essential fatty acids. Olive oil is not good for your heart! (It’s just not as bad as other fats most people eat, but it still promotes heart disease.) This is a 10-minute excerpt from one of Dr. Fuhrman’s 90-minute talks from the Healthy Lifestyle Expo 2007.

The video link I posted previously shows evidence of the contrary.

@XES119 Eskimos die early now, but on their traditional foods, they were
very robust…..

Your all wrong, the ideal diet for humans is the unknown diet. Yep, I discovered it myself, we have no idea what the hell we are arguing about. Just fractions of information within the complex body of human beings. We only have theories. Just as long as you avoid the Standard American Diet, and perhaps read the china study, do your own research and live peacefully you will do the best you can, I hope.

@peglam LMFAO. Have you ever heard of an Omnivore? Vegans! LOL. All properly interpreted evidence proves it a fact that we are Omnivores. We can eat flesh raw, heck I order my ribeyes with just a quick sear on each side so my mashed potatoes turn red with blood, Yum! But our conquest of fire allowed us a valuable way to improve our chow for evolutionary intellectual development which now allows your nutritionally deficient Vegan butt to type words today. I agree U.S. diet is screwed, though.

finally someone who makes sense

@peglam what absolute twaddle. Ever heard of indiginous populations like the Masai and Inuits? They eat meat, lots of it – their ancestral diet – which hasnt changed for hundreds if not thousands of years. There is no obesity, heart disease in indigenous populations, in fact, fat is viewed as premium source of energy, they eat it along with the meat. There are no essential carbs, only essential fats and proteins. You have to obtain these from meat and fat- they cannot be obtained from veg.

Some good points!!! Lowfat diets are bad, what do you think your brain made of? But you’re wrong on one point, the studies do not differentiate between trans fats, bad oils, and healthy meat fats, this is why they are flawed.
Just make it natural fats like unprocessed meat, olive oil, coconut oil.

@jefferyeat yeh, till you die
August 5th, 2010 at 11:23 am
@peglam, not so, we are Homo sapiens, we thrive with animal products/meat etc., and cooking. It’s the way it is. Keep it in balance. I know very well, by experience, I’ve been ‘there’ and ‘done that’. The body will show you in time. Thrive.

@XES119 This is one clip out of a larger lecture. In his book, Eat to Live, he’s quite clear that nut/seed intake needs to be moderated. Typically 1oz/day of nuts.

With all due respect, furhman teaches poor nutrition. The layman that watches this video will stuff his mouth full of nuts and think it´s ok. All nuts and seeds are very hard to digest and will cause problems if consumed over a minimal amount. Controling fat intake is one of the culprits in achieving best health. Any athlete eating clean will tell you that high fat consumption damages performance. Eat raw fruits and vegetables – and be careful with the nuts. Google Doug Graham.

Quality over quantity. Makes sense!

Listen, we are not meant to eat lamb or any other beings. We don’t have teeth like lions. We have sharp enough to bite into hard fruit and veggies, not animals. We have to cook it to make it softer and more edible. Animals aren’t born cooked. Hello…the Standard American diet sucks. ITs all a crock.

I’m disappointed that he failed to mention the chemicals contained in plants which inhibit the uptake of micronutrients in the gut. As such he hasn’t provided the whole picture.
As far as I’m concerned it is no coincidence that a grass fed fatty shoulder of lamb cooked rare tastes deilicious, whilst lightly cooked kale is disgusting.

i need a diet for boxing i weigh 70 kg and trying to drop to 65 and then weigh in at 63.9
August 5th, 2010 at 3:22 pm
Right. We’re discussing the science of nutrition. almxx’s comment is abusurd, since his “God” put toxins in numerous foods as well. There is nothing supernatural about plants and their compositions.
August 5th, 2010 at 3:42 pm
You are questioning almxx belief that a God created man and the food he should eat in a sarcastic remark.

what?
August 5th, 2010 at 5:12 pm
@chiconspiracy you like to push your beliefs on people or question theirs?
August 5th, 2010 at 6:03 pm
@micheleski No, it’s less than 10% protein from animal sources…
August 5th, 2010 at 6:35 pm
fat food is the best thing ever. it makes you feel alive
