Is Fat Bad For You? The Science of Fat, in the style of Zero Punctuation (ish)

[TheSevanthNinja]

ISRAPHEL is a trans fat!

[TheAmericanWaySeries]

There is a flaw in your science. There are more than 2 lipoproteins. There are triglycerides (fats converted from sugar) and VLDLs, which are cause by high carbohydrate consumption. The smaller, more dense VLDLs are the ones that tend to clog the arteries, not the LDLs. If what you say is true, we would expect to find plaque evenly coated throughout the veins, but it is only found in the large arteries in the thoracic cavity.

pwotein <-- the english invented english and suck at speaking it but i suck at spelling so.........ya english suck austalia rules and usa is pretty good to

[Account0997]

@TheDarkrevenance I thought the Australian government doesn't let people do $#!^?

[poweratheist]

Awesome. I learned a lot and was entertained :) thumbs up

[NikkiBoom1]

YOU'RE A SHIT ARTIST.

[jreily88]

saturated fat is good for you as long as you get it from a good source like grass fed beef, not fast food.

[kamikazecookery]

@jreily88 Saturated fat's saturated fat. Doesn't matter where you get it from, it still has the same effects. However, many fast foods are likely to contain other harmful things (like trans fats).

[jreily88]

@kamikazecookery

no not all saturated fat is the same. Your brain tissue is composed of about 60-70% saturated fat. Saturated fat, along with cholesterol are the precursors to your hormones and it's what provides structural ridgidity to your cells. The health organization likes to make claims that saturated fat is bad for us, when they have absolutely no evidence to show for it, other than fast food. Even the whole lipid hypothesis that came about in the 50s was flawed, yet it's stil used.

[kamikazecookery]

@jreily88 Uh, I think that you might be coming on a bit strong with the "absolutely no evidence to show for it", but I completely agree, saturated fat is not a universal evil.

[jreily88]

@kamikazecookery

I apologize. There is some evidence to show that saturated fat is bad, but that's mainly in fast food or processed foods. However, in my opinion, there isn't really enough evidence to show without a doubt that saturated fat is bad no matter what. Two perfect examples are the masai tribe in africa and the inuit in the arctic. Both of these cultures' diet contains nearly 100% meat and yet they have some of the lowest cholesterol levels of anyone in the world.

[kamikazecookery]

@jreily88 I'd agree with pretty much everything you say here, yeah. Indeed, the ongoing debate over saturated fat is one of the most interesting foodie/nutrition crossovers right now. (Particularly when you take into account the fact that the link between high cholesterol and better mortality outcomes that some researchers have noted).

Fascinating stuff! Thanks for posting.

[jreily88]

@kamikazecookery

Another thing. Your body cannot assimilate or absorb calcium or vitamin D, or Omega 3s without saturated fat. If you don't believe me, just look at all these women, not just those in their 60s and 70s, but some even in their 40s who are on low fat diets and taking calcium pills, thinking they might actually work.

[TheAmericanWaySeries]

@kamikazecookery If your theory was true, then bypass surgery would not be possible, because the graph artery from the leg would be just as clogged with plaque as the thoracic artery. LDL does not just randomly cling to all arterial walls. It only is found where inflammation of the arterial wall has occurred. More blood flows through the thoracic arteries than the arms or legs, so they suffer more damage from high glucose levels and insulin. Do some study.

[rhidiandavies1991]

@jreily88 hahahahaha where on god's earth did you pull that fallacious statement from? Your ass I presume?

[sanguinefox24]

Rip-off or not, the video was interesting, informative, and I enjoyed it.

[mightyampersand]

That was very helpful.

[mokugin81]

very bad language used to talk about something so serous and important!!!

[jvillinger]

Do... do you know who Zero Punctuation is?

[macNcheeseFTW]

@jvillinger I didnt know zero punctuation was a person.

[jvillinger]

@macNcheeseFTW

Go look up anything with the words 'Zero Punctuation', 'Yahtzee Crosshaw', or 'The Escapist Magazine'.

[macNcheeseFTW]

@jvillinger his name is ben crosshaw, the show is called zero punctuation.

you referred to zero punctuation as a person.

[jvillinger]

@macNcheeseFTW

If you already know the answer then why ask in the first place? I really don't care about the error, if you already know who it is then why are we talking?

[macNcheeseFTW]

@jvillinger because you made a school boy error so I decided to troll you.

[macNcheeseFTW]

@jvillinger also it was a sarcastic question.

[jvillinger]

@macNcheeseFTW

The phonetics behind sarcasm cannot accurately be expressed in a text-based forum so why not just be direct in future?

[macNcheeseFTW]

@jvillinger some cases such as mine are an exception. also in this case its just common sense I was being sarcastic since we all know zero punctuation is the name of the show and not a person.

[jvillinger]

@macNcheeseFTW

"its just common sense"

That's opinion. Opinion =/= fact.

"we all know"

Not really, my Mother doesn't know who Yahtzee / Ben is.

"zero punctuation is the name of the show and not a person"

Sure I made an error. But frankly your wasting my time arguing over semantics when frankly I don't care if I made an error. Let's use the internetz for making constructive arguments agreed?

[macNcheeseFTW]

@jvillinger you can tell my first reply was sarcasm due to its sentence structure, you also saw your error so I couldnt be doing anything but being sarcastic.

anyone familiar with zero puncuation will know.

and if you dont care I think you should stop because I wont untill you do.

[jvillinger]

@macNcheeseFTW

Again... what is the point in arguing over something trivial?

[macNcheeseFTW]

@jvillinger you say that yet you continue

[jvillinger]

@macNcheeseFTW

So are you trying to tell me all you do on YouTube is go around and have testoterone fueled 'who can be more stubborn' contests with people over extremely pointless matters that have no constructive thought? Well by all means, take this one. Another victory to the pointless crusade.

[macNcheeseFTW]

@jvillinger why thank you good man =)

[Tiwaking]

That was great, informative and with a surprise ending!

[ray0139]

if your trying to copy zero punctuation, fuck you

[kamikazecookery]

Yep, we're trying to copy Zero Punctuation, that well-known cookery instruction show. Erm, no, wait...

[jeromezone]

Err. ray0139 clearly has a point. This is the exact style of zero punctuation!

[axelgarcia1]

it will fuck you shit up!  the pictures made it funnier

[Awsomenessstuff64]

Fucking funny

[moonwingmedia]

Another pretender to the throne.

[spiltsilk]

colgate hahahahahaaa

[elgranpachango]

Cool! =D

[GenericRubbishName]

Worst. ZP. Rippoff. Ever.

[Nightsparrow626]

Meh. I've seen worse.

[pinkytm1]

Other fat issues include excessive ratio of omega-6 polysaturated fats to omega-3 polysaturated fats. Which maybe proinflammitory and the reverse maybe true of

safer ratios. Oh I have toght my 5-6 year old nephews to not eat trans fat. We call it a trans fatty nightmare.

[pinkytm1]

Oddly I noted the other day that the saturate fat stearic acid does not seem to elevate LDL.

So technically if high purity stearic glyceride was available it could give you all the nice properties of saturated fat and trans fat (solid room temp, resist oxidation, high smoke point)but with minium healh effects.
