In this episode, I show how sugar intake has declined dramatically for two decades. I explain what this means for the belief that sugar intake is the cause of the obesity pandemic (it isn't).===Like, comment, subscribe.For more, find me at:PODCAST The Kevin Bass ShowYOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/user/kbassphiladelphiaWEBSITE http://thedietwars.comTWITTER https://twitter.com/kevinnbass/https://twitter.com/healthmisinfo/INSTAGRAM https://instagram.com/kevinnbass/TIKTOK https://tiktok.com/@kevinnbassAnd above all, please donate to support what I do:PATREON https://patreon.com/kevinnbass/DONATE https://thedietwars.com/support-me/

This episode goes over the myths and science behind the causes of diabetes and how it is reversed. By dissecting a recent paper written by physician Dr. Tro Kalayjian, it shows how one can easily be misled by the idea that carbohydrate is the cause of diabetes and thereby choose suboptimal management strategies—and it discusses what the latest science actually says and how to best manage diabetes--and its reversal--using that science.Reversal occurs via weight loss. Liver and pancreatic fat are preferentially lost. This loss in liver and pancreatic fat drives the reversal of diabetes.Dr. Tro Kalayjian claims to have demonstrated, using case studies, that carbohydrate intake, independent of weight loss, causes diabetes (PMID: 34262925). This is a widespread myth. But do his case studies show that carbohydrate restriction can produce comparable effects to weight loss for diabetes?They do not. Indeed, the weight lost by his patients is similar to the weight lost in other studies showing similar improvement in diabetes. In other words, Dr. Tro is showing what the science already knows: modest weight loss in diabetes causes big drops in blood glucose (PMID: 21656330).Moreover, if Dr. Tro had encouraged his patients to lose more weight, they might have completely reversed their diabetes: magnitude of weight loss is directly related to the odds of reversing the disease (PMID: 31097391).We hope that this podcast can encourage viewers and listeners to consider the latest science in determining the best course of action in the management of diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is reversible—but only if one understands what causes the disease and what specifically will best reverse it.===Like, comment, subscribe.For more, find me at:PODCAST The Kevin Bass ShowYOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/user/kbassphiladelphiaWEBSITE http://thedietwars.comTWITTER https://twitter.com/kevinnbass/https://twitter.com/healthmisinfo/INSTAGRAM https://instagram.com/kevinnbass/TIKTOK https://tiktok.com/@kevinnbassAnd above all, please donate to support what I do:PATREON https://patreon.com/kevinnbass/DONATE https://thedietwars.com/support-me/

In this episode, I explore the links between sun exposure, skin aging, skin cancer, and seed oils. Paul Saladino, the Carnivore MD himself, makes a special cameo, as he denies the role entirely of sun exposure in accelerated skin aging.===Like, comment, subscribe.For more, find me at:PODCAST The Kevin Bass ShowYOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/user/kbassphiladelphiaWEBSITE http://thedietwars.comTWITTER https://twitter.com/kevinnbass/https://twitter.com/healthmisinfo/INSTAGRAM https://instagram.com/kevinnbass/TIKTOK https://tiktok.com/@kevinnbassAnd above all, please donate to support what I do:PATREON https://patreon.com/kevinnbass/DONATE https://thedietwars.com/support-me/

Dozens of papers have shown an association between low LDL cholesterol levels and an increased risk of death (for example, PMID: 33293274), now for over half a century. Yet we are told that lower LDL cholesterol is good for us. Which is it? Why do doctors and scientists advise the reduction of cholesterol if lower cholesterol causes a higher risk of death?In this podcast, I explain the association between low LDL cholesterol and an increased risk of mortality. Specifically, it is probably due to confounding by age-related chronic illnesses, which in turn causes a reduction in eat, and therefore calorie restriction and malnutrition (PMID 33293274) and therefore reduced cholesterol (PMID 4828569, 15096581). I explain that weight loss near the end of life is a normal part of age-related disease, probably universal in mammals, and that weight loss indeed does indicate the end of life (PMID 24941891). In other words, chronic illness causes death, but it also causes malnutrition weight loss which causes low cholesterol. The lower cholesterol levels and the higher risk of death are each independently caused by chronic illness, rather than the higher risk of death being caused by the lower cholesterol.We know this especially by meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials looking at the effect of cholesterol-lowering medications on the risk of death. These trials very conclusively show that cholesterol-lowering medications directly reduce the cause of death (PMID 28444290, 29677301).So while chronic illness may reduce cholesterol levels, chronic illness has a much more deleterious effect on risk of death than the reduction of cholesterol has. Direct reduction of cholesterol is beneficial. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States (as well as erectile dysfunction). Therefore, all else equal, when one can reduce cholesterol, one should do so to optimize cardiovascular disease risk.===Like, comment, subscribe.For more, find me at:PODCAST The Kevin Bass ShowYOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/user/kbassphiladelphiaWEBSITE http://thedietwars.comTWITTER https://twitter.com/kevinnbass/https://twitter.com/healthmisinfo/INSTAGRAM https://instagram.com/kevinnbass/TIKTOK https://tiktok.com/@kevinnbassAnd above all, please donate to support what I do:PATREON https://patreon.com/kevinnbass/DONATE https://thedietwars.com/support-me/
