Dr Whiting on Understanding Fats and Oils in the Diet

[SuperSAmonkey]

Is this a comedy channel? Trust the slim Dr Whiting, eat lard and other fats to lose weight. Ha ha! If previous generations weren't over weight do you really believe that it is because they sat on their backsides eating bacon? I would love to know where Dr Whiting gets the idea that vegetable oil causes billions of free radicals which will prematurely age my skin and give me heart diease.

[healthyinformation]

If you will simply google the dangers of polyunsaturated oils you will find hundreds of studies establishing the ability of these oils to generate free radicals as a by product of oxidation. The generations of the early 1900's were virtually free of heart disease. In fact, there was no dept of Cardiology in any major university before 1911, because it was unnecessary. Heart disease is the result of modern diet, and the drastic change in our sources of oil comsuption.

[SuperSAmonkey]

@healthyinformation Are these studies in peer-reviewed medical journals? Do any of the studies actually study skin ageing or heart disease directly in animals or humans? Can you make the claims you make based on this evidence? What about evidence in favour of PU oils? Before 1911 were there the diagnostic tests or treatments available today available then? Would someone have a bypass operation, pacemaker implanted or an echocardiogram in 1911?

[healthyinformation]

Yes, Yes, Yes, PU oils have their benefits, but only if oxidation is can be prevented, which is almost impossible. Not to the same extent, but heart attacks were very rare. No, because the need was so rare.

[SuperSAmonkey]

@healthyinformation If the answer is yes to the first three questions and a simple google search will uncover hundreds of studies, please provide references. Out of the vastness of the scientific literature it will still be very difficult to build any case for the claims you make. Note that most vegetable oils contain a powerful antioxidant, vitamin E (and they are kept in air tight containers with only a small surface area exposed to oxygen). Life expectancy was less than 50 in 1900 for the US.

did he say deep fry in olive oil? that must have been a mistake.

[healthyinformation]

It was, you can pan fry in olive oil, but for deep frying you need to use avocado, peanut or of course old fashion lard.

you forgot to mention that mediterraneans also eat alot of grass fed meats and lards. they also don't go on low cal diets, of course that might be changing as they learn the myths of cal in cal out garbage or paradigm people can't seem to let go. people get stuck in a rut (cal in out weight control) and can't seem to grab the robes of freedom that sit right before them now that would get them out of the deep hole of myths.

[odiousominious]

what olive oil (pure redefined)

and isn't olive oil bad for frying

[healthyinformation]

Olive oil should not be heated as in deep fat frying, it is idea for all other cooking methods. For deep fat frying consider using either canola oil or lard.

[hoogys]

So olive oil is safe to cook with? I've been hearing differently lately.

[healthyinformation]

Olive oil is safe at lower temps. Olive oil will smoke if heated excessively high. For those cooking conditions we recommend either canola or lard.

[chriscarman247]

Thanks Doc, you're a legend

[healthyinformation]

Correct, finally someone has got it right. Bravo.

Keep the crap (toxins) out of u such as... fast food, processed foods, SUGAR, aspartame (artificial sweetners), fried foods (trans fats), flour, table salt, enriched anything, over the counter drugs (like tylenol), prescription drugs, alcohol, etc.

think NATURE - eat WHOLE foods, not 2 much, mostly plants. Fruits, veggies, Nuts & seeds. Meat if eaten, moderation & should be clean. Grass feed beef, wild fish (not farmed), etc. Marijuana-Cannabis-Pot for MEDICINE.

Struggling with weight loss? Take my free weight management

[svtcontour]

For about 2 years I've cut out as much refined sugars and flowers and I've cut out all vegatable oils. I cook with butter sometimes, coconut oil (cold pressed) and cold pressed olive oil. I also dont fry anything anymore. I've also gotten rid of teflon and aluminum pans and now use stainless and cast iron.

Oh and I've increased raw walnuts and almonds in my diet as well as an avacado every other day and I've lost fat and gained muscle since...my heart rate has lowered too! Good fat is great

[SybilGarrison]

This is the best thing you could do for yourself. Go easy on the nuts though. They are high in Omega-6 and would be best eaten in the late fall/winter as nature intended. If you eat them year long, do so in extreme moderation.

Also, substitute agave nectar for sugar. 1/4 or 1/3 cup to 1 cup of sugar. Agave doesn't require insulin to be processed by the body

Butter is good, but should be organic unsalted butter.

[svtcontour]

Thank you very much for the information. I'll cut back on the nuts somewhat except for the fall. I think over all, I definitely feel better after cutting back on processed foods. I do notice that if I cut out red meat entirely, I feel a little weak. I find I have to have at least 4 oz of red meat a week (but I try grass fed organic at least). I dont eat much of other types of meat. Fish once in a blue moon and eggs once a week (I guess that can be considered meat).

Thanks again Sybil :)

[blahblahbleebleeblah]

I love the sarcasm that's hiding just beneath the surface of your talk. Especially at 8:06. None the less, great information.

[healthyinformation]

Omega fatty acids are certainly essential. Saturated fats have received a bad rap for so long that the brainwashing has turned the myth into fact... too bad for us.

[jreily88]

what about cooking french fries in coconut oil? Olive breaks down when heated, but Coconut oil does not.

[healthyinformation]

Coconut oil is EXCELLENT!!!

[flying16panda]

MMMMmmmm FAT!

[deadlifttillyoudrop]

Finally someone who understands about fats!!

However you forgot to mention macadamia nut oil,its higher in monounsaturated fats and lower in polyunsaturated fats than olive oil! But still olive oil may be healthier because its high in diffrent antioxidants.

[healthyinformation]

Good Point, Thanks for the comment.

Dr Whiting

[DanielAnchondo]

excellent presentation.

[BourneAccident]

Dr. Whiting is right on the money... We have been fed a load of garbage by the food industry and it's about time we started to learn about proper nutrition. Many thanks to Dr. Whiting...

[afetian]

I LOVE this Doctor he is so clear in explaining things I whish he lived in Canada...Thank you very much for this video...

I concur with most everything said. However, note that olive oil is still comprised of 13.5% PUFA. I even avoid this as most sources of saturated fat have good ratios of saturated to monounsaturated fat:

butter- 7:3, beef- 6:7, etc.

One should try and avoid the fats of non-ruminants: pork, chicken, turkey, etc. These animals are fed diets of corn, soy, etc. and because they do not have a rumen to destroy these fats, the PUFAs manifest in the fat. grass-fed beef tallow all the way!

[MrChristopherSLC]

I generally agree with the doctor here. Although I don't believe cholesterol has much of anything to do with heart disease.

I eat organic olive oil and organic butter as my primary sources of fats (with a little coconut oil and much less canola oil). Like the doctor says, I avoid vegetable oils like the plague.

[O24Uallok]

This is fantastic. Yay....we are all going to get better. Listen to this man and his colleagues

[falafelstand]

Great video. Isn't pretty much all canola oil genetically modified though? That's another animal.

[jcarleo18]

Thank you for this information. I thought vegetable oil was the best. Now I know to cook my french fries in olive oil instead.

[Riko1980]

even better you can use coconut oil , try nutiva or living tree community or coco de creme(found at alissa cohen website store).

[ellentroyer]

Love this piece. Can't wait to recommend it to all my friends who still pride themselves on only eating low fat foods.

[ellentroyer]

Finally - someone who understands that fats are necessary in our diet.
