Demonizing Saturated Fat with Dr. Paul Mason – Episode 1576

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1576 – Dr. Paul Mason joins Vinnie on this Friday show, and the two talk the attempted silencing of Gary Fettke, the scientific establishment, wrongly demonizing saturated fat, lectin and Parkinson’s disease, exercise efficiency and more!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

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.

FAT DOC IS OUT

Brain Growth, Fat, and Omega 3’s with Dr. Ann Childers

by Vinnie Tortorich

Vinnie Tortorich talks to Dr. Ann Childers on today’s Angriest Trainer podcast.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

AMAZON CONTEST

  • Each week, Vinnie and Anna pick a winner who bought the most interesting/outrageous thing on Amazon
  • You have to have clicked through Vinnie’s website for your Amazon purchase to be eligible
  • Winner gets free t-shirt, or order of PVC vitamins, etc
  • A few weeks ago, a listener who uses sex gel to avoid chafing on long runs won

WHO IS DR. CHILDERS?

  • She is a psychiatrist that works with both children and adults
  • Lives in the lovely Portland, OR
  • Was on a heavily plant-based, low fat diet
    • this was because med-school (incorrectly) taught her that fat was bad

VEGETABLES AND OUR DIGESTIVE SYSTEMS

  • We have trouble breaking down raw vegetables
  • We aren’t good at breaking down cellulose walls or digesting fiber
  • Our digestive systems are quite different than those of the big apes

HUMAN EVOLUTION

  • We became hairless, bipedal, and started to sweat
  • Although we lost our ape features, we gained the ability both to THROW spears and make them
  • The human brain continued to grow (through exercise / persistent hunting) and we were able to use 20% of our brains as opposed to the apes’ ability to use 10%
  • To support our new way of living, we had to begin to ingest lots of fat and innards of animals, thus causing our digestive abilities to change

THEORY ON SAT FATS RAISING INSULIN LEVELS

  • Some researcher preaches that these fats found in meats will raise insulin levels
  • Dr. Childers says had that ever been true, the Inuit and hunting tribes all would have been diabetics
  • When Serena started this NSNG type diet with high fat, her cholesterol stayed the same and her triglycerides lowered significantly and she has no clogging of anything

ANN’S HEALTH TROUBLES

  • At age 45, Ann learned that she had osteoporosis and had the bones of an 80+ yr old
  • She also had incredibly affecting ADHD and had to find ways to control it
  • Ann cracked teeth in her jaw, had headaches, tremors, memory issues
  • She had a minor stroke, and realized she had to do something now or be disabled for the rest of her life
  • Part of what saved her was changing her diet from this vegan-esque diet to one that did have fat etc.
