Dr. Michael Eades - 'Paleopathology and the Origins of the Low-carb Diet'

Low carbs is fake, cos hunters hunted meat, women gatherers..gathered carbs.

Egyptians were also addicted to honey, which is loaded with fructose. Richard Johnson says fructose is the main driver of heart disease...

Very interesting and well presented! I thought that the ancient elites (royalty and priesthood) consumed more meat than the average civilian bc of the animal sacrifices and hunting privilege. That’s why I am surprised about the findings in the royal mummies.

Oh that is the best book I read in terms of knowledge and great entertainment - is with to read it again after some time ….

👍

Thank You for posting this lecture. Much appreciated. Very intelligent lecturer, pleasure to see.

Excellent talk! Bravo!

Thanks for sharing this information. I learnt a fair bit from it. Interesting the demise of the plant based family tree part in our ancient past. I liked the brain size being linked to our smaller stomach. I have not heard this before. Great talk :)

Sorry, but the tests on Mummies are not representative. Only the rich had the money to be burried that way, statues and so on show always the ideal not the reality. If you go like that, the people in the future would think we where a society of Supermodels. The majority of ancient Egypts are totally gone. I don't say that a ton of grain is a good idea, but this Mummy stuff is nonsense for me.

Great!

Leslie Nielsen on fire! Brilliant talk, Doc. Thank you so much.

Very interesting talk

can you please put a video on new health fad in india called millets?

Love this presentation! This is how it's done. He asked a clear and simple question and then went on to answer it at a reasonable pace using evidence

And then Christina Warinner (PhD from Harvard), goes on to say that we evolved to eat vegetables.... The amount of trashy science and paid for propanda coming out of Harvard - under known vegan Walter Willet , et all - is absolutely mind-boggling and borders on the criminal. Paid for shills by the grain, sugar and pharmaceutical companies.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Wonderful!

Love this guy’s way of explaining things. What he says makes so much sense! Wish he could have been my prof at university! This is a brilliant explanation of why we should go no/lo carb.

Been on carnivore for 2 to 3 weeks. My fasting blood sugar this morning was 117, down from over 200 when I started. I don't get hungry, I no longer get cravings, and I don't have the urge to binge eat.

Brilliant, succinct, included incredibly useful graphics and images and conveyed so well how badly civilization fared when it turned to carbohydrates as the primary source of sustenance. It's deadly! Just eat meat!

Thank you for this.

You gotta read their books

My dog is crushing the bones to get Bone marrow

Thanks a lot! Dr.Aedes is a Legend!

Absolutely brilliant! Thank you!

Now you tell me vegan diets don’t work! Lol. Tried plant based for more than 2 years, became pre diabetic and allergic to lots of things, just plain unhealthy. Since going LCHF health issues have resolved and all blood tests normal.

Fantastic 🎉❤ loved listening to this.

Such a brilliant and fun speech. I enjoyed every bit. Enlightening. I’m sticking to my eggs, grass fed fatty meat and tallow.

Excellent!

You could make an excellent argument for the carnivore diet without resorting to evolution mythology. The notion that all life evolved from a microbe is 19th century mythology that can 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 be believed by faith with no support from modern molecular biology.

Does not demonstrate anything. We don't have mummies of prehistoric hunters and we cannot compare their relative health. You eat what is available, which is not necessarily what is best for you. In order to understand what are we evolved for we must analyze what we ate 50.000 years ago but, so to speak, 30 millions years ago. Hunting is a cultural adaptation. If I give you a rabbit and tell you to eat it, you wouldn't know where to begin from, while a wolf would eat it with the same ease we eat an apple.

Fascinating!

This is the ultimate clinical trial analysis.

This man and his wife are very easy to follow and understand, well spoken and thoughtful in their presentations.

This guy always has to throw in right wing political nonsense. It's a shame.

In reality, lots of evidence proves that early humans and their ancestors ate lots of plant foods at most places and most points in our history. And the span of diets ranges from nearly vegan to nearly carnivore. Having said that, it's totally unscientific to think that what early humans ate at some cherry-picked point in our history proves anything about what is healthiest for us to eat now. It doesn't and can't. All that matters is evidence regarding overall long-term health outcomes, and that evidence strongly favors diets dominated by whole plant foods.

The ‘ice man’ had advanced atherosclerosis. Does not mean the evolutionary diet helped to live a long healthy life. Short and brutish.

What is the beautiful piece of music that introduces this series?

Fascinating

Absolutely informative and fascinating
Well done

Fairy tales for people that are too blind to see that God created man.
Random chance cannot create order. It takes more faith to believe in this God denying lie than obvious observation that the complexity we see is random.

When we gave manufacturing to the Eastern countries we now useWarAndSicknessAs our models for a economic system😢.

"Humans beings evolved under circumstances in which food, particularly rich foods SUCH AS MEAT (my emphasis), was scarce." -Biochemistry. Berg et al, 8th ed. (2015). This is the problem. Sure, it might be a challenge to catch a rabbit or pig (or an assortment of other small animals), spear a fish, fell a bird or steal some eggs (how hard is that?), more challenging but rewarding to hunt bison, rhinocerous, deer, mastodon, mammoth, ox, horse, antelope, mouflon (sheep), ibex (goat), bear, dog, seal, walrus, etc (but not hard to find any time of year); but how scarce were edible grains or fruits, nuts, vegetables or tubers, especially out of season, before the invention of agriculture? But unsubstantiated, inconsistent with paleobiological evidence, and even counterintuitive statements like these in textbooks very recently and perhaps to this day go unchallenged and uncorrected.

Then why didn’t meat eaters create a high culture?

Most excellent and relevant history of food macros and sorely needed for education of medical students.

Love his presentation style. I love being primarily beef, egg, and cheese. The only veggie i eat is romaine lettuce, and im good with that. I feel so much better being off grains, vegetables, and fruit.

great presentation other than highly implausible we hunted all megafauna to extinction ...look up 'the younger dryas asteroid impact'...makes alot more sense ...shortly after agriculture pops up

Its 5 am and I've just eaten a meal of fried chicken smothered with mozzarella cheese. I will eat another meal based on meat, peanut butter, glass of milk around midday then eat nothing else until early tomorrow morning around 4 or 5 am, this works fine for me, perhaps others may differ slightly to suit their personal preference. The important thing is a protein and fat based along with around 16 to 18 hours until next meal the following day..for me this is perfect 👌

Hmmm, what I gathered from this is that the Egyptian diet was unbalanced, with too much bread and too little plant foods and meat? Cut the bread, but keep the unprocessed carbs instead… that seems more prudent?
