  • thumbs definitely up

  • @tatsumakisempyukaku Depends what starches your are talking about...

  • Well, that's all well and fine but starches also play a huge role in obesity, diabetes, kidney disease, neuropathy, heart disease, etc. Also, idk about da Atkins diet, but the paleo diet promote eating fruits and veggies low in starch over meat. Then meat comes as a second place/ or third depending how you look at it, as a macronutrient.

  • @ConcreteRiver Amen!

  • @1imesub c'mon ,we both now all this nonsense spouted by low carb paleo primal trolls focuses on obesity and fat being solely and unequivocally a result of carbs!! eat ALL the saturated animal fat and cholesterol that you desire and you will healthy! What a crock of shit.

    As usual, Dr.McDougall is right on the money. These fools have no real arguement. They use pseudobroscience to justify their destructive lifestyle.

  • LOL - BS

  • @bryn93 Tell us about that... He's simply right...

  • He's simply wrong.

  • Dr. McDougall has an uncanny way of explaining things so they're easily understood. Love him.

  • Ahh, the title of this video is incorrect. John stated that early humans WERE hunter and gathers, although the gathering took a much larger part than the hunting...

    This is still true of modern hunter-gatherer cultures, who opportunistically gather, and hunt primarily during hot seasons when animals are restricted to small water sources. Typically they are not overly successful.

    I would suggest (if possible) that you consider renamed the title of the video..
