  1. Transparency of the 5-year Virta study! Where is it?

    Yes Nina Teicholz and Dave Feldman, please address this! Because this is hurting our community. We all, including Virta, need to be fully transparent about results.

    The 5-year study is an amazing effort but, after 1-year, they became translucent and, after 3-year, they became fully opaque. 1-year graphs in their reports had an amazing and clear frequency of 1 week per data point, but 2-year graphs in their reports were degraded to a frequency of 1 year (just 2 dots per plot!). This was terrible and unjustified! Clearly, they were trying to hide the rebound observed in their measurements.

    Available and open to the public 3-year scientific reports/papers are scarce and short. Available and open to the public 5-year scientific reports/papers are null. Available 5-year raw data is null!

    So, please, Nina & David, and other members of the panel, do your investigative research on our own community too. Reject our own opacity! This is hurting our own community! And push for the full raw data of the 5-years to be public and for the publication of clear 5-year scientific reports with decent data frequency in their plots!

  2. When noting the example around someone on keto with high calcium score , we must ask if that person was doing keto and using seed oils Or lots of artificial sweeteners ? And assuming on a true clean keto (no sugars no artificial sweeteners no seed oils, no deep fried stuff) , then the next question would be for how long has this person been on keto ?
    Plus of course what are the other risk factors and scores this individual had? I believe The answer is vastly on diet and life style, but not solely.

  3. I agree with Nina. She’s very pragmatic and realistic . We have Tons of science already showing the good behind ketogenic approach and the bad behind processed high carb seed oil and sugar industry. This is a war against Misinformation indeed paid by big pharma and big food corporation. Too much propaganda. Science always lost the race against marketing and against lobby paid political and governmental decisions.

  4. Dr.Khurram Nasir is an outright idiot . . .
    the analogy that "we don't need a study to prove that jumping out of a plane will end catastrophically"
    was a cute but incredibly stupid comment to defend statins. I'm boggled as to how he qualified for this panel.

  5. If the medical industry causes 8.9% of global carbon emissions, but “animal” agriculture causes 3.9%, why aren’t we focusing on decreasing the NEED (and thus decrease global emissions ) for medical intervention by promoting metabolic health? 🤦‍♀️

    This panel give this carnivore (8 months) hope!! 👏🏻🙏🥩🫡

  6. Too bad Dr Nasir took over the whole conversation, especially since he does not seem like a fan of low carb. I think the discussion would have been much more informative and interesting without him on it.

  7. The guy who spouted a narrative of institutional rigidity over corruption is.pretty naive. Corrupt people and institutions love it when we buy into incompetence over malice. The nutrition discussion needs to be supplemented by awareness of longstanding transnational agendas for population control and technocracy.

  8. My understanding is that statins were developed and marketed based on a bunch of false assumptions about human bodies. Now that we know the premises were wrong, people are standing on their head, looking cross-eyed and squinting at the data on statins in order to find some way of saying that they help — somehow, sometimes. Even the statins skeptics are doing this I think in order to appear open-minded. I think it's time for everyone to just admit that on balance statins don't do any good.

  9. No one on the panel emphasized the need for a minimum level of vigorous exercise, eg, 14 min. HIIT every other day (or one equivalent less-vigorous regimen), or to routinely ID persons who are fully sufficient in easily-testable factors like ‘vitamin’ D sufficiency, as baseline standards for who would be included in a study of the efficacy of a low ‘bad-carb’ diet (no fiber-free sugars; high-glycemic, low-nutrient starches; or highly-processed foods).
    My hypothesis: healthy people on this exercise/diet regimen would show significantly better metabolic/lipid panel & heart/lung-healthy results.
    A control group would be picked at random – many basically on the Standard American Diet w/ whatever amounts of sugars (sucrose, fructose, fruit juices); high-glycemic starches; and processed foods that entails.
    There might be two study groups – one (like the control group) picked at random and the other being persons already on a low-carb diet for long enough to show up on their metabolic/lipid profiles.
    The study would involve enough monitoring of and reporting by the study group participants re diet/exercise details to add credibility. Study length would be at least long enough to determine (a) how long it takes for the random group starting their low-carb diet to catch up to the ongoing low-carb group, and (b) for some confidence to be established that the rate of change in the participants’ periodic metabolic/lipid profiles had slowed enough to indicate stasis, ie, the likelihood that further changes in test results would be nominal.

  10. Thanks Low Carb Denver for more excellent content! Thanks Dr Gerber for releasing this video! We need to grow the groundswell around low carb and get this important information out to the masses

  11. Thank you all. Especially thank you to David Diamond for keeping the science honest!!! I took a statin for 3 months, and had many side effects that I still have not recovered from. There are risks with statins, and I was told that there were no risks.

  12. To the cardiologist: I understand that statins have stolen away the anti-inflammatory effects of aspirin, which used to be considered crucial yet is now pretty well ignored.
    Hoping for a response …

  13. The bottom of the story- we don’t know if and when a low carb, insulin sensitive, metabolically healthy person with very high LDL will develop atherosclerosis. Unless we study these people for a decade we cannot be certain.

    Problem with this low carb group is
    Low carb = high saturated fat, to meet the calorie needs and because meat is tasty, so there is a bit of a bias there .
    Being insulin sensitive is great but let’s not assume it’s going to prevent atherosclerosis entirely.

  14. I am appalled when I tour the cereal in any grocery. It's like I've descended into an unreal Sugarland of Hell, all intended to addict children to their garbage products.

  15. OK the young man who was invited by his friend or relative I can’t remember who stood up and said we need to talk about the cause of heart disease is on the pulse. He has got the right idea. Get down to what they called bottom. Get to the bottom and start at the bottom and work your way up instead of at the top where all the money is. what he’s alluding to is what in our diet is causing the heart disease and he’s exactly right and that’s what these people are here to talk about. Don’t argue about should somebody be on a statin or not because the majority of us don’t think we should. It’s too controversial. Eating correctly it’s not.

  16. I believe that everybody is the science. I did keto. I ate my vegetables and it made my joints so inflamed. My lower G.I. issues did not go away. I had to get them out of my life and I am much much better for it. Would I suggest somebody do the same? Know what I say is You have to pay attention to what you are eating and how it affects your body. For me I went on the carnivore diet and I figured out what the problem was. And I don’t eat things that caused me issues. Everybody is different and nutrition can only happen if a person has a healthy gut and healthy digestive system, and can absorb nutrients from what they are eating. The garbage that they’re putting on store shelves actually do the opposite and they know that.

  17. OK no the second man I don’t know his name I don’t know them apart. I am very sorry about that but he is the one that is speaking the truth. Ground roots. It starts at the bottom. It’s not going to change at the top. And he hit exactly what I said about the pharmaceuticals. We all have to be an influence on our friends and family.

  18. I tend to disagree with the man that said, I’m sorry I forgot his name, that he is more positive about change. It’s not going to change. Because the money isn’t going to change. There’s too much money to be made in pharmaceuticals, and in manufacturing of all those oil foods. The best thing I can do is encourage people to shop the periphery of the store and help them understand that those isles are full of garbage and it’s not going to change. Even if guidelines do change, which I don’t believe they will people are still going to choose, those isles. It’s about choice. It’s about education.

  19. @lowcarbconferences What does the group think and what actions do you think need to be taken against youtube/google for censoring this information if it doesn't conform to WHO and current US medical guidelines? They've already censored Dr. Eric Berg and they are changing algos to prevent this information from coming up in searches?

  20. Khurram Nasir total obfuscation….bs baffles brains….keep them confused…..the devil is in the details you must educate yourself to avoid the obfuscation that inevitably arises when the big money gets challenged….Khurram Nasir equals big money interests…..

  21. When it comes to statins, we look at history and the days when sugar was scares. War time, you couldn't get sugar but people smoked their heads off. Even then, they were healthier without heart disease and type 2. Even cancer was less in those days than now, and statins didn't exist. Come to that, neither did vegans.

  22. Trouble is all too many doctors jump to the conclusion that most people should be on a statin. My doctor keep telling me I should be on a statin. I don't consume carbs at all and I've told her so and she keeps begging me to take a statin. I don't have heart disease, I've never had type 2 or even been above normal. Doctors are panic merchants some of the time.

  23. The vegan doctors seem to have disappeared into the darkness for the most-part. They all have their young followers fighting for them still but they're fading away too as they come round to realize that they're living on additives and extra vitamins and minerals they should be getting from food. It's nice to see good food is really winning the race.

  24. Wow that doctor pushing statins so hard without evidence regarding major diet differences, saying that we have no clinical study yet on jumping out of airplanes with or without a parachute. He's trying emotional manipulation. And that study about parachutes never needs to be done for obvious reasons. If that's the best comeback he can offer, that's really sad. I wouldn't trust him as my doctor. Not enough logical thinking skills. No clinical trial has yet been done to test free driving to 5280 feet and back up rapidly, or crashing a car at 120 mph with no seat belt on, or jumping into active volcano lava, or swinging a sword at the throat of men. No clinical trial needs to be done on many things. He should have admitted that diet could very much matter for cardiovascular health and that people on a KETO/Carnivore/KETOvore diet might not ever benefit from statins. That clinical trial could be done. No one will ever do a clinical trial of jumping on a trampoline directly under a parked but running helicopter. Everyone over 2-3 years old knows the results.

  25. low carbs diet .ketone diet with the ralationship on coronary calcium scores

    ChatGPT

    A low-carb or ketogenic diet is a dietary approach that restricts the intake of carbohydrates and encourages higher consumption of fats and moderate protein. This type of diet can lead to a state called ketosis, where the body primarily uses ketones for energy instead of glucose. Ketosis can have various effects on health, and there is ongoing research into its impact on different aspects of health, including its relationship with coronary calcium scores.

    Coronary calcium scoring is a non-invasive imaging technique used to assess the amount of calcium buildup in the coronary arteries. It is often used as a predictor of coronary artery disease (CAD) and can help estimate a person's risk of heart attacks or other cardiovascular events.

    Here's what we know about the relationship between a low-carb or ketogenic diet and coronary calcium scores based on research up to my last knowledge update in September 2021:

    Reduction in Risk Factors: Some studies have suggested that low-carb or ketogenic diets can lead to improvements in certain risk factors for cardiovascular disease. For example, these diets can lead to weight loss, improved insulin sensitivity, and lower triglyceride levels, all of which can be beneficial for heart health.

    Mixed Findings on Cholesterol: Low-carb and ketogenic diets can affect cholesterol levels differently in individuals. While they often lead to an increase in HDL (good) cholesterol, there can be an increase in LDL (bad) cholesterol in some people. The type of LDL particles (small, dense vs. large, fluffy) may also change, which can have varying implications for heart health.

    Limited Data on Coronary Calcium Scores: There is limited direct research on the relationship between low-carb or ketogenic diets and coronary calcium scores. This means that we don't have a clear understanding of how these diets specifically impact the development of coronary artery calcification.

    Individual Variability: It's important to note that the response to a low-carb or ketogenic diet can vary widely among individuals. Some people may see significant improvements in cardiovascular risk factors, while others may not.

    Overall Diet Quality: It's crucial to consider the overall quality of the diet, including the types of fats and sources of protein consumed. A diet high in unhealthy saturated fats and processed meats may not have the same benefits as one rich in healthy fats and lean protein sources.

    Long-Term Effects: Many studies on low-carb and ketogenic diets are relatively short-term, so their long-term effects on cardiovascular health, including coronary calcium scores, are not well-established.

    In conclusion, while there is some evidence to suggest that low-carb or ketogenic diets can improve certain risk factors for cardiovascular disease, their direct impact on coronary calcium scores and long-term cardiovascular outcomes is not well-understood. It's essential for individuals considering such diets to consult with healthcare professionals and consider their overall health and dietary preferences when making dietary choices. Additionally, regular monitoring of cardiovascular risk factors, including cholesterol levels and blood pressure, is important for assessing the impact of any dietary changes.

  26. Monetize up to the end of the conference then release all conference material onto YouTube for free access. This drip drip release is damaging to the broader public community and overall message of low carb.

  27. there is nothing wrong with animals and their products, the silly anti meat movement is ridiculous. All populations were healthy before junk food came along. every island population every desert population, every nomadic population, every forrest dwelling population, healthy – then along comes BigFood and junk food, and their health goes down the toilet… its not about the meat, the fowl the fish the butter the milk etc, obesity is never caused by meat and veggies. Its the junk food! The vegan movement in schools and hospitals and government provided food service is wrong on every level and you all know it. it goes against science and rights to cultural diets!

  28. This is an excellent panel! To be optimistic is ridiculous. After 70 years of corruption and cover ups, it is very likely that the opposite will occur. The industries and politicians who benefit from these crimes against humanity, killing millions through sugar and poisonous foods, they will mount an enormous resistance to any truth about their mass murder. To protect ourselves by doing our own research and eating well and producing our food locally, outside of the grid, will be our only line of defense. To share information through encrypted channels will also be key. These large platforms will very soon censor all this truth.

  29. What Nina doesn't know is that 2 years ago she saved my life one night while surfing Youtube. I was not looking for health information on diet but what she said amazed me so much I persued it with several other videos of hers and Dr, Berry's. 52 pounds lighter and off 7 medications later I'd say her advice was good. I am shocked our government cannot relay this LIFE SAVING information.

  30. I want to comment to the optimistic doc saying “radiation of a calcium score” being trivial – like a domestic flight. The reality is that fight radiation is delivered to cells over multiple hours. Medical intervention deliver that total radiation in seconds. That must affect cells very differently and therefore may be damaging.
