Dr. Fuhrman -- Value of High Fat Foods

[ConcreteRiver]

Dr. Fuhrman advocates that you can eat a small amount of animal foods and still be healthy, which goes against everything that is taught by other plant-based health experts. I also don't subscribe to Dr. Fuhrmans assertion that potatoes and brown rice and other whole unrefined complex carbs are nutrient deficient. Animal protein are extremely damaging to the human body. The are the cause of most of the diseases we see today. Green vegetables are great, but i'll take potatoes and beans any day.

[wholesystems]

How do almonds have 3% of important nutrients compared to kale? That just doesn't add up.

[toxiconflict]

Fat has nothing to do with heart disease. Heart disease is caused by inflammation which is caused by sugar and carb causing insulin.

[Repulver]

@toxiconflict that's why Atkins died of a heart attack, because he ate carbs..

[needlewings90]

you are incorrect! Atkins had cardiomyopathy, which is not related to cardiovascular disease like high blood pressure, diabetes, and more, but that isnt what killed him. his condition had problems where his heart muscle would do things like increase in size and would disrupt functions. but he died from a concussion after slipping on ice.

[ConcreteRiver]

@needlewings90 Wrong! Dr. Atkins had clogged arteries. His wife has stated this in numerous interviews. He was obese and unhealthy. His diet killed people and not one single reputable scientific or medical organisation supported it.

[adkpinecone]

Fuhrman is a smart man.

[rahulviveka2]

Fruits veg grains milk organic is good

[toxiconflict]

@rahulviveka2 grains are not good. But yeah all that you said plus meat are good

[rahulviveka2]

Man made anything is bad period

[vaidotas86]

Animal fat its not always bad (its not trans fat). lean protein, lean fat are ok. But other activities are more important like cardio. Sweat is on of detoxification form, and is more healthier to burn more calories than eat less calories...

[1imesub]

@vaidotas86 Animal fats are the most dangerous kind, and the vitamins in animal products are fat soluble which are toxic in excess. Not to mention all the fat soluble contaminants naturally found in all animal products. Animal products, when cooked, contain dangerous levels of acrylamides which have been shown to cause cancer.

[vaidotas86]

@1imesub so you say that salmon is dangerous?

[66moonshine]

dont put animals fats in the same category as refined and trans fats cause saturated fats which is butter ghee and animal fat is the type of saturated fat that was condemned 50 years ago by the governments and created diseases such as diabetes, adhd in children, alzeihmers its people like you that are ill informed and brainwashing humans to believe that only a certain amount of oil is what we need. We infact need loads of saturated fat as well as essential fatty acids to keep our brains healthy

[AppleSouffle]

66moonshine, excellent points and I definitely agree!

I put trans fats in the category of fake fats. I researching the idea that the not enough saturated fat craze is behind the massive rise in depression.

[1imesub]

@66moonshine Saturated fats will clog your brain with atherosclerotic plaque. High nutrient density foods to keep our brains healthy.

[9965paul]

meat today sucks! in earlier times cows grazed in pastures now they're eating who nows what... chickens ate seeds, grass and bugs. pigs where eating healthier than most people eat today. i myself am afraid to eat animal products after watching all these films on nutrition.

[666mathew]

What??? Iceberg is ranked that high?

[mzrockstar2u]

I hate diabetes and all this is confusing.

[AnyaSwanson]

You are wrong about fats. Saturated fat is DIFFERENT from hydrogenated vegetable oils! You put them all on one pile and call them bad. We should be eating mostly saturated fats (butter, lard, tallow, coconut oil, etc) and minimal amounts of poly and monounsaturated (never heated, in their raw, virgin state) fats. We should NEVER eat any of the vegetable oils, especially hydrogenated. We should also avoid sugar and starch, which is very easy when you get the right fat, which is saturated.

[ConcreteRiver]

@profwito Humans , throughout the course of documentable history, have eaten very little meat and certainly even less dairy. Up until 200 years ago, our diets were primarily plant based.

[vaidotas86]

@ConcreteRiver LMFAO R U @#$% SERIOUS. It is so not true, absurd...

SHOW ME SOME EVIDENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AppleSouffle]

Vaidotas86, it doesn't mean anything when you write like a juvenile, self-absorbed 6th grader.

You have to sound intelligent to join the conversation. Show me some evidence!

[vaidotas86]

@AppleSouffle I'm self respected typical cynic troll...

I can talk intelligent, but I become very angry then people lie...

[ConcreteRiver]

This clown is a scare mongering jackass. I have been a strict vegan for 20 years and I enjoy cold pressed extra virgin olive oil on a daily basis with my salads. I have a cholesterol level of 135 and my coronary arteries and blood vessels are clean and unclogged.

If Dr.Fuhrman wishes to use his position as a medical practitioner to tell people about health, tell the truth. Animal Fats are the cause these diseases. A high carb, low fat starch based vegan diet is the healthiest way to live.

[howzaou812]

@ConcreteRiver If that's your total cholesterol i would be worried. Thats way too low. Cholesterol has very little to do with heart disease anyway...Chronic inflammation and oxidized plaque in our arteries is what will do us in...Cholesterol is found at the scene, but didnt cause the diease. In fact, the higher the cholesterol, the longer you live. Look up your facts.

[Teyiebuns]

@ConcreteRiver I completely agree with you.

[RobindeValkNL]

Go and watch Don Tolman if you want more information about nutrition and health.

[wholisticMom]

The studies that showed Vitamin E, etc. were harmful, used SYNTHETIC vitamin E instead of Natural Full Spectrum E. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. This guy sounds like he relies on AMA Science. Whole foods that weren't developed by man to be BIG...are best. Haven't finished listening, but NUTS have a protein inhibitor and should be soaked a few hours before eating. It can start the SPROUTING process which increases nutrient content. Cholesterol is NOT BAD. This is old propaganda.

[AnyaSwanson]

@wholisticMom Agree with you. This guy does not know what he is talking about. He says saturated fats and hydrogenated fats are bad, but these are two different fats! Saturated fats from clean healthy animals and coconut oil is not the same as SYSCO poison. And nuts need to be soaked or sprouted to be edible... Eh, waste of time... those who know this stuff live better lives, because they are not hungry and angry all the time... ha ha :)

[rafyraf100]

dont eat foods with chemicals in them like mcdonalds!!!!!

[abraxsis]

He says that in 1900 there was virtually no cancer, heart attacks, and strokes. Those people WEREN'T vegans. Meat was a main focus of sustenance, they didn't count calories or fat. Vegetables weren't on every tables, and tropical fruit ... forget about it. Many people back then didnt even know what a pineapple or kiwi looked like, much less ate it.

[ConcreteRiver]

@abraxsis That's a load of shit. In 1900, people were eating grains and potatoes and very little meat and dairy products. Fast forward 111 years and humanity have substituted a diet of grains, potatoes and vegetables for copious amounts of dead animal flesh, and men and women are dropping dead in their 40's from clogged arteries and cancers. Wake the fuck up.

Until we go back to a starch based vegan diet, we will continue to see these insidious health problems in our society.

[Okejee]

@ConcreteRiver Eskimos have existed for centuries on a meat diet. Other people have used animal products as a regular part of their diet. My mother was born in 1917. I have asked her in detail what her diet was like when she was a child. Vegetables were available during the growing season only unless a root vegetable that could be stored long term. Milk & eggs were used DAILY. Dried beans, grains & wild game also. Pigs were slaughtered in the fall & the sausage or ham was used in winter.

[shellshocknine]

Woo! Go kale!

[22rhea]

hey hey! Have you thought about intellectus 424 diet (google it)? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my buddy lost a ton of weight with it.

[Lightf00t1]

The more fat I eat the better I feel. The low-fat paradigm is a crock of shit.

[FM897]

@Lightf00t1 I wouldn't go that far.  It works for many people.

[meanjoebean]

Look up Dr. Weston Price's research people.

[rich0292]

Type in to Google: "weston price Joel Fuhrman" and the first result is the source I used for my comment bellow, anyone who knows nutrition and has read his book will realise that he does not consider the nutients that are rich in animal products in his book, so of course his results would be biased in favor of a diet overly rich in plants.

[TheGoalSetter]

I'm glad Kale is number one on the list. I hear you can toast it to make Kale chips, but Kale has such a nice flavor and texture, I eat it raw...stems and all. Heck, I sometimes sneak a bag of Kale into the movies.

Also....I know the list isn't thorough, but I really expected to see seaweed high on the list. It's not even on the list.

[TheGoalSetter]

If we only listened to grandma, our lives would be so much better.

"Work hard. Marry for love. Save for a rainy day. Eat your veggies."

Grandma was right!

[oneyaker]

Glad to learn that eggs (one of the most nutritious substances on earth) has almost half the nutrient density of a cucumber and an order of magnitude less then Romaine lettuce. Evolution or god was SO stupid to not to put a leaf of lettuce in an egg for an embryo to fully develop. Carnivores are also dumb not to join their pray on nutritious pastures. Instead of filling up on meat and dozing the rest of the day, they could chew supernutritious cud all day long! Veg brainwash is nauseating.

[rich0292]

@oneyaker

It's because he doesn't consider the fat soluble nutrients in this chart such as vitamins A and D, which eggs are very rich in. This means that of course this chart would create the false impression that animal poducts are less nutritious per calorie than plants becasue animal products are very caloricaly dense due to their high fat content and he discounts the fat soluble vitamins within this fat. And the nutrients he does deign to measure are almost all exclusively found in plants.

[pobrien48]

Dr. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D.: has managed over 1500 diabetic patients and, in the last decade, not one of his patients has had a stroke or heart attack. Only one has even been hospitalized! His secret—50,000 units of Vitamin D3 daily. Vitamin D is actually able to enter cancer cells and trigger apoptosis (cell death).

[mcdrums8706]

Ugh...can I point out something?

We keep seeing rises in obesity, diabetes, and heart attack. What is changing? We've been talking anti-animal fat for decades, but as the animal fat goes down, these serious health issues go up.

So basically, talks like these are saying: "We've cut a lot of animal fat, but we're still seeing health problems, so we obviously need to cut more! LOWER cholesterol! LOWER saturated fat!"

[adrygarcia]

Where is the best ratio Carbo/ Protein/ Fat that Joel Fuhrman think is better?

[etherspinner]

@adrygarcia he says thats missing the point, that only looks at MACRO nutrients, watch the first minute of the video through. Micro nutrients are just as important and the ANDI chart is a great measure of them

[bluesdog88]

I love it when the truth reveals itself....

[cmk1964]

The problem is WHO to believe. Caldwell Esselstyn says no oils whatsoever, Joel Fuhrman says high fat.

[etherspinner]

@cmk1964 They aren't all that far off, they both avoid adding oils to foods , Fuhrman just thinks there is more place for nuts and seeds with their built in fats. If you follow either guideline you will do well!

[WineAndGravy]

What's wrong with ALMONDS? I eat them as my fat source as they are full of good mono fat, unlike sunflower seeds that have more sat. fat and full of ugly poly fat. And protein is more in Almonds than in any other nut! I like ONLY GREEN table!

[soulflyz88]

Fresh organic ripe fruit.

Fresh organic vegetables, some homegrown in organic soil.

Unshelled, pre-soaked nuts.

Homegrown sprouts. Thai Coconut water blended with coconut meat.

Homemade greendrinks from garden greens.

Fresh organic almond milk.

Homegrown berrys. Raspberries, blueberries, strawberries.

Supplements. Manuka honey, coconut oil.

Harvested water.

[hsiaofonglinkane]

just don't eat animals, very simple, including seafood.

[lordhriley]

The nutrient density scores are always different from publication to publication.

[kimberlily1983]

Eating lunch while watching this, and was pleased to see that my lunch includes three foods from the green collumn: kale, orange, and flax seeds. :D I've been vegan for about 8 months now and my diet is healthier than it's ever been in my entire life. Still have stuff to learn, but I know I'm on the right track now, and the payoffs have been great so far.

[VeganFoodNetwork]

I'm surprised how high up Iceberg is on that density chart! Higher than sweet potato and green beans, wow!

[si0paloma]

@VeganFoodNetwork That's because it's super-low in calories and high in water. I wouldn't think it would actually be a better choice in all cases because the satiety level would be really low due to lack of macronutrients, and ultimately, micronutrients.

[ToolsnFire]

People, 'get in tune' with your body. What Dr. Furhman talks about all sounds like abstract 'faith' information unless you get in tune with what you're body indicates by responses on your skin, and the integrity of your tissues. You're body will reveal, and you can understand it if you have adequate associative awareness. *Response indicators*.

[ThinkPureTruth]

I do understand moderation. But how many people know how to moderate? 70% of Americans alone are plump and already have set themselves up for coronary problems, diabetes, tumors and a host of cancers. Just try, for 90 days Dr. Fuhrman's approach. He hates surgery and drugs. I have been to his meetings and bought his books. Please give yourself a chance. I was a real meathead until the age of 45. I started to wake up. I am now 56. I really feel GREAT! You and your family can too. Take care now!

[ThinkPureTruth]

If you use your skin and eyes as a sign of progress, you will be AMAZED! Watch the mucus pour out of your nostrils in the form of green flakes and sometimes blood from too much grains. Have you ever seen eye mucus puddle by the tear ducts? Do you have fuzzy vision from grains and dairy? How about prostate cancer in men that LOVE meat?

[ToolsnFire]

@ThinkPureTruth, it all comes down to 'getting in tune' with your body by understanding 'response indicators' that your body shows, which can be correlated with foods eaten. And preferably with a body not encumbered by detritus, to put it briefly, being that in that condition your body will be more 'sensitive' to 'unhealthy' items of consumption. And, btw, animal products, depending on the individual, and the quality of the products, are good for us. Proven beyond doubt.

[HogbergPhotography]

This is bullshit.. haha, modern science has gone to far, its just crazy..

If you eat the food that you are made for (Humans- fat and meat, and NO carbs) You will not eat to much anymore. The body will stabilize itself in weight, in health, and in hunger.

Google - Low Carb High Fat.

[JTCares]

Many people cannot accept information that will make them healthier, so the rest of us have to pay for their medical expenses. This must change!

[ArmoredFelix]

The thing is follow the perfect diet and you add ten years to the end of your life. No thanks. I'll eat stuff that I like, mainly vegetables and lean protein and exercise. There is no miracle cure, and you are going to die one day. I am not going to live the life of an ascetic.

[ocergnairb]

Lately I've been on a hugely low fat diet but Fuhrman is making me reconsider to increasing that amount of fat a bit. I don't like to use someone's appearance as an automatic indication of their health, but I have to say, most of the extremely low fat preachers' skin and general face structure is not as filled in, yet lean and healthy-looking as Fuhrman's. Anyone notice that?

[cesime]

1st time I heard olive oil is promotes heart diseases.

[audrey1053]

Excess is creating disease...

[talon115]

Awesome!

[zestrus11]

i lvoe scientists! MORE NUTRITION RESEARCH PLEASE! he should say raw nuts and seeds. if you can't sprout them you shouldn't eat them.

[apocalist420]

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.

[XES119]

@XES119  Doug Graham doesn(t look healthy neither

[apocalist420]

@mctradewind That is oversimplifying a complex problem with your subjective view. Is it not?

[TreachMarkets]

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.

[XES119]

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.

[LifeRegenRevolution]

@XES119

watch vids on channel

LIFE REGENERATOR

[Dark0blivion]

@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.

[angelbe88]

@XES119

finally someone who makes sense

[Naturallymee]

Quality over quantity. Makes sense!

[peglam]

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.

[ToolsnFire]

@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.

[Achaeos6]

@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.

[ToolsnFire]

@peglam @peglam, humans are cookedfood-arians, goes back well over a million years and has been a factor in our evolution in becoming Homo sapiens. And, the agricultural revolution kicked in things into overdrive beginning around 8000BC(give or take some thousands of years depending on region). Cook and be human, be human and cook. It's why we are the species we are. Go in the wild and live without fire and animal products. Best wishes.

[twmatcham]

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.

[samhainaz]

So i should use butter flavored PAM cooking spray is healthier?

[GetFitGamer]

hes saying no oil is healthier.

[futoncat]

@samhainaz NO! Don't ever do that. That stuff is canola, most likely, and is GMO filled as well as just being rape seed and nasty. Use coconut oil to cook and olive oil on your food. This guy wants you to stop cooking entirely besides boiling or steaming some vegetables...

[samhainaz]

@futoncat The ingredients on the back of my PAM cooking spray states its made from soybeans.

[futoncat]

@samhainaz Even worse. 90% of soybeans are GMO as well as them destroying your thyroid.

[samhainaz]

@futoncat Ok then what oils can be used that are not industrial crap nor GMO's and how would we know which ones are and arent ? I think almost all seeds come from Monsanto?

[DGAF100]

I love cherry picking my beliefs....and this is definitely one belief im gonna take up...ha

[shakaama]

ok then instead of olive oil, then what oil do you use?

[topheramazz]

coconut oil....

[hopesolofan18]

flax, almond, avacado, coconut, many other types of oils. just go look at whole foods

[Mentat1231]

Or, if you really want to cut the excess fat out of your diet (and off of your body), how about NO OIL AT ALL? There are several cookbooks that show ways to cook without oil (which is, by definition, a refined/processed food... I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that, I'm just mentioning it). John McDougall, in particular, has some really good substitutes for oil that can be used in most recipes.

[almxx]

You use whatever oil is naturally in the food you're eating. The best oils are from nuts and seeds and veggies that contain them. Never add fat to a food that doesn't contain it. God puts fats in the foods they belong in. He did not forget to put fats in leafy greens.

[chiconspiracy]

@almxx

Um...plants are here due to an invisible man poofing them into existance?

[utubeboob9]

@chiconspiracy you like to push your beliefs on people or question theirs?

[chiconspiracy]

@utubeboob9

what?

[utubeboob9]

You are questioning almxx belief that a God created man and the food he should eat in a sarcastic remark.

[chiconspiracy]

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.

[micheleski]

According to the China study, a diet lower than 10% fat appears to fight off cancer better.

[Jai666666666]

Exercise should be part of a diet program or you won't digest any of that food properly, no matter what you eat..., just a tip :D

[cellsecret1]

No, it said that if you switch from coconut oil to safflower or sunflower oil, you increase the incidence of heart disease. Ghee and coconut oil are the good oils.

[lori77oz]

Oils are not an example of a nutrient dense food. At 120 calories pert tablespoon oils (or ghee) provide few micronutrients at the expense of many macronutrients (calorie providing nutrients).

All oils are nutrient poor choices. Fat is most beneficial intact from the plant as it is then packaged with the lignans and all the necessary phytohemicals.

[MisterTissueBox]

So, what he is saying is that coconut and olive oil are bad for you? I'm very skeptical of that.

[cellsecret1]

If you read carefully, it says when you switch from ghee and coconut oil, you get in trouble

[MisterTissueBox]

What do you mean by that? You mean like switching back and forth between ghee and coconut oil? Why would that be bad for you?

[Mongodelight]

[Mongodelight]

ever heard of raw vegan? U think u ve eaten ripe banana before. Maybe over 90% of the populace dont know WHEN their main natural calorie source SWEET FRUITS are ripe. Bananas f.e must have spots, be creamy sweet melting on the tongue. Yellow bananas are not ripe and cause digestive problems.

[d1stewart1]

Actually eskimos have horrible health. They have early deaths, they have high osteoporosis before those deaths.

[philinmotion]

What is presented by Dr. Furhman is not built/based on unquestioned faith or beliefs but on intelligent interpretation of scientific facts and has been verified through experience. I would suggest that you read his books if you have any interest in educating yourself properly about health and diet.

[montsyblackmaddona]

It is true animal fats are very bad,but olive oil is good for you.

[iMitotropin]

i eat high fat, high protein, lower carb and my body fat is extremely low

[SlaveStorm]

Meat & Dairy protein is slow death

It turns on cancer cells

It strips calcium from your bones to digest it

Drink all the milk you can you remain in negative calcium balance through protein-induced hypercalciuria

Meat contains arachidonic acid & promotes swelling from prostaglandin 2 production & gives you acidosis androgens atherosclerosis

You get Lipemia saturated fats harden at body temperature in your arteries & you only get more cholesterol from meat

Vegan fasting life extension 4tw

[ToolsnFire]

@SlaveStorm, biggest bunch of nonsense, welcom your impending Parkinson's condition. I speak from loads of experiences since 1984. We are cooking agricultural omnivores in order to thrive in health. Not vegans or raw or similar. It's a matter of balance and quality. You'll come to that conclusion by long term experience some day, unless you remain in gross delusion.

[BrinkCraven]

I wonder what your heart looks like.

[Casmige]

I've Never heard of any one getting "Mad Avocado Disease".

Yep, that's what I saw when doing my Didactic studies in College when touring a meat processing plant.

Made me QUIT eating meat on the spot.

It's what one DOESN'T Know or educationally *See* that brings Dis-Ease.

[klined]

to be fair, plenty of plants are bad for us too

nature was pretty stingy to humans in terms of what we can eat and what we can't

[LAWAGO]

i disagree regarding animal fats , there is no proof of his assertion that animal fats are bad; do your own research.

[canadianwargod]

read "The China Study"

[Gary1111001]

...ever consider that the farm animals get almost no sunlight?????

Meat also isn't reliable.

Yes, our culture is too conserned with percentages. For the past 14 years, I've mostly been eating a variety of plant-foods in there natural state. I'm doing better than on the SAD diet. Nuf said.

[alexbaranosky]

Dude, that doesn't mean much... every whole foods diet is better than the SAD diet.

[loosey5]

Eat wild meat or organic.

[rnecas]

Vitamin A (beta carotene doesn't count!) and Vitamin D only occur in animal fat. If you're concerned about micronutrients, eat animal fat.

[swroclawski]

Vitamin D is produced naturally by the body in very high quantities by your skin when you get sunlight.

In fact, sunlight on the skin creates many times (100x times) the amount of vitamin D that you could get out of diet, just by going outside!

[rnecas]

Sunlight simply isn't reliable. What latitude do you live at? How dark is your skin? Is it cloudy, foggy, or smoggy? What month is it? I am dark-skinned, at high latitude, and in an area where it's raining about half the time. For about 6 months out of the year, I cannot count on any D from sunlight. Getting 100 times the Vitamin D is pure fantasy. Most people will burn before they can get sufficient Vitamin D to live. Cod liver oil and pasture-raised lard/tallow have ample Vitamin D.

[swroclawski]

On a single sunny day, your body can produce 10,000 IU of Vitamin D. The vitamin is then stored and can be used all year.

The point is that with proper sun exposure, there is no reason to take supplements, as your liver can store up to three years worth of Vitamin D.

[rnecas]

10,000 IU? More like 200-400. If you're lucky, you might get 1,000. If someone who promotes vegetarianism or veganism told you you can get 10,000, they're probably lying. They love to ignore science. Show me the study.

[EffAreOhhGee]

This is probably a dumb question, but what's ghee?

[sklikizos]

ghee is Indian clarified butter - basically pure milk derived fat, no (or extremely little) water.

[Chachoondar]

Ghee is made by boiling butter. It removes all of the casein and lactose. You can eat an animal protein free diet (a la China Study) and add a bit of ghee (making it essentially an ayurvedic diet).
