DR. PAUL MASON

  • He hails from Sydney, Australia.
  • Gary Fettke and he are good friends.
    • The way politicians and the establishment came after Gary & others like him without science backing them should cause people to lose faith in establishment doctors.
  • He is very passionate about giving nutrition advice based on sound science.
  • Anecdotally, he epidemiologically notices the link between lectin & diseases such as Parkinson’s.
    • Lectin is found in higher quantities in grains and legumes.
      • Dr. Mason is wary of vegetarian and vegan diets as a result.
  • The actual science is that when people are properly fat adapted, they are more efficient athletes.
    • They’ll actually use less oxygen.

DEMONIZING SATURATED FAT

  • The elephant in the room is saturated fat–it’s almost an ideology surrounding how we treat and wrongly hate saturated fat.
    • There have been at least three comprehensive studies that show that saturated fat is not the demon.
      • These studies had delays in publishing.
      • People went into these studies hoping to prove themselves right.
        • That saturated fat wasn’t bad was disappointing news to many scientists/doctors/etc.
  • Dr. Mason recognizes that when findings contradict the establishment, they’re largely buried.
  • Faith that we have in the scientific process, as a result, may not be so warranted.
