hello and welcome to got protein part two fourth time's the charm we'll see if this is gonna work for me all right just bear with me so that is Arnold Schwarzenegger and he's showing off his teen and uh most people when you ask him where's your Source protein they'll tell you you gotta eat animal products meat Dairy eggs great source uh and it turns out the theft myth has actually been busted and uh well I'm gonna talk about eggs first off and slides into my atop with cholesterol and so eggs uh there was a Harvard study on early stage prostate cancer so this would probably be stage one before it's half the size or spread into local tissue and then which is stage two and then stage three and fours when it starts metastasizing spreading to other parts of the body and what they looked at was that the men who ate a like two and a half times per week had two and a half eggs per week that's not very many I had twice the progression of cancer meaning metastasizing moving along to other parts and here's specifically the bone uh they had an 81 increase in mortality which means death so almost doubling the rate of death also and the only thing worse well that's why the picture was already there was chicken uh actually was four times the rate of cancer progression and mortality versus the men who didn't eat as many eggs must be either no eggs or only one a week uh which would be they're not really eating eggs it might be that the egg is in something and the reason has to do with these molecules so again don't be afraid of the molecules um you saw the chemistry and that molecule in that picture showing the lower right that is creatine which so many people think is this wonderful it's um an amino acid and phenylalanine also amino acids so the amino group and the acid group so phenoalanine is one of the building blocks for our proteins creatine is an amino acid it just has a slightly different form um and it's not one of the building blocks of our proteins our body actually can make it so it's not essential um whereas for your animals your pets cats and dogs actually have to eat meat because their body doesn't create creatine on its own and so or you have to supplement them with creatine but our body actually does make creatine I would guess the liver I don't remember off top of my head but what happens is from high heat of cooking these two amino acids when they are found together they form that molecule at the top which is known as a heterocyclic amine so cyclic means those Circle those hexane gone and a mean means those nitrogen groups and has multiple nitrogen groups and this is the carcinogen it is a known carcinogen uh it it's found very highly in uh poultry um and so chicken has a really high amount of phenylalanine and creatine and so when you cook it's at high temperatures which is how people cook chicken uh animals your animals can actually eat it raw whereas we as humans don't my animals eat it raw and they've been doing it for over five years somebody told me to do that and it was a game changer for them so grilling which is how people prefer their chicken or frying are really high temperatures or broiling those high temperatures are going to form lots of this molecule and that just means cancer and to add on to it if you cook it in the presence of sugar which is oh Chick-fil-A anyone yeah that barbecue sauce there's no such thing as barbecue sauce without added sugar you create which is called what is called age which is the first question on your homework there's my be um so Shanti is nine pounds it's not that I'm that short you all know that uh that is charred from my garden not currently but um in the spring summer and fall months it just came up wild I've never really planted it and he um does eat chicken bones if you don't cook um the chicken the dogs can eat the bone once you cook the chicken the bone splinters and that can actually harm the animal but it was a friend of mine in yoga because my cat was having issues told me that their vet had recommended they start feeding their cat raw chicken um so uh and it was a game changer my cat has been thriving since and my dog so this is a picture of uh this dude Patrick who uh this I don't know how long ago this picture is from but he was considered the strongest man in the world at one time uh and he is vegan and there is one of the videos you can watch for this next week one documentaries is called The Game Changers I've never actually seen it but it is these Elite athletes who actually are all vegan a lot of bodybuilders like the competitive bodybuilders actually are vegan because it gives them an advantage uh one of the stories I heard not from the movie but was another one was the guy who used to play for the Oakland Raiders uh when the Raiders were in Oakland and he was one of the either offensive or defensive linemen so the linemen are the biggest guys on the team so again um over 250 pounds and he was vegan and he didn't want anybody to know not because of the stigma of being this big guy who who only ate his vegetables uh but because he said I gave him an advantage and he didn't want anybody to know about his and that they have teach and the advantage was it gave him stamina and so by not eating animal products he made it through four quarters and he said in the first two quarters he was just like a regular lineman but by the third quarter and definitely the fourth quarter he dominated the line because everybody else was starting to fatigue and stuff and he um yeah just absolutely loved and so nuts we did our week on nuts and seeds our really great source of protein with fiber and there we go at the bottom and top left are legumes which is your challenge for the week to try to incorporate legumes but also vegetables uh have the perfect ratio have wonderful protein they're really high in water and nuts as I said and actually your grains the whole grains do actually have protein in them quinoa is the one that has the most protein and I'll be talking about quinoa more next week uh so age what age stands for is Advanced glycation and products and that that picture in the upper left hand right hand corner drives me crazy because I'm a biochemist and those pictures I don't even fully know what's going on there but one of the words that you see is it says Ross and that means free radicals and so age is one of the greatest acronyms because it tells you what it's going to do and again here's another one these crazy slides that people I guess it makes them feel smart but basically it's making you produce more cortisol it's causing inflammation it's so age rage stands for the receptor for age and it does it makes you raging uh creates insulin resistance and stuff and it has created when we combine sugar with protein uh and it creates oxidative stress it oxidizes the heck out of your body uh inflammation across links to everything so every organ to every cell um to your blood vessels and so we've made cholesterol this huge culprit and saturated fat and um protein turns out might be a big culprit uh fructose combined with protein so it's the combination of the two because we all are like nope cutting out the sugar you all have done that and you've all done brilliantly and I've been so impressed with how much you played long but when I'm suddenly saying we have to look at the type of protein intake uh that's where people draw a line and say uh no no don't touch my protein but fructose combined with protein a thousand times better at creating these age products which are this is a quote I don't remember from who but clumps of useless debris resistance to the body's Digestive and cleansing processes basically you just get all this debris all over cross-linking accelerating aging as it does and diabetes uh this is a picture uh a graph again I oppose I don't remember where I got from and it was the amount of nitro Soul those heterocyclic amines uh and at the top pretty much sticks to the top 10 are chicken and it just has to do with how we prepare chicken that chicken itself is really high in creatine and phenylalanine and uh how we prepare chicken uh hot dogs so again I told you I there was a guy who was a centurion I heard an interview and all you ate frogs he lived to be a hundred but he boiled the hot dogs he did not broil or grill them and it's that high heat of broiling of grilling of frying um that is creating and so the air fryers when they're on the high heat they're still giving the high heat so you're taking away the oil but you're still getting to a high heat the fast food hamburger Burgers up there tofu I I never broiled tofu and it's I do just a quick stir-fry where it goes in the oven so broiling is when you're using the top part of the oven and sending the heat down and that allows you to get to a temperature again it's how you cook your food not neces that's as important as the food you're eating so we want to be eating Whole Food closer to plant-based as close to plant-based the fully as you can be and you want to cook it by either baking temperatures 375 or less um or on the stove top um yeah and you can see even an apple but when you're getting to those levels those are probably background levels or the raw tomato all right uh and here we go I thought I'd shown this slide before so endogenous means inside us so we naturally do create these that our body makes when we eat high sugar diets so glue and fruit are high glucose and fructose exogenous age are from the outside and that is the cured meat and that is animal protein is because of the amount it creatine so tofu doesn't have the creatine in there so any of the processed meat secured bacon salami uh and the high heat of cooking them makes it go up a thousand fold increase so the barbecue chicken they took a diet the exact same diet and they fed it to two different groups of people and one type I don't they didn't say specifically or I didn't read that part what the diet specifically was but they seemed or boiled for 10 more minutes and the other group they fed and they broil on the food the meal and the ones that had they broiled it they then are able to read markers for age as well as how well arteries relax and they found the ones that were broiled so that means high temperature a 67 percent decrease in the relaxation of your arteries your arteries are not able to relax and contract so think high blood pressure and also that increase in the age markers they then actually reversed the groups uh and a couple days later and so the group that had got the broiled that the steam boiled and they actually saw the exact same results so that was like their control they couldn't say hey these people already had these issues or whatever and they were already probably controlled they're already probably um 30 year olds that they were doing this with and so eating more plant-based uh when you're eating fruit you're not cooking it uh chewing our food the importance of that and eating raw salads as well as nuts so if we look around us and yeah the top five cancer causing few Foods pretty much everywhere you look that we've talked about sugar uh the deep frying of the sugar which is the donuts the deep frying of the starches which is the potatoes but burning meat and the hot dogs I highly processed food the anti-cancer they're always going to throw in whatever they can and it's always going to be vegetable um or fruits or spices so this is just one specific website but um that just allowed me that picture so what happens what does age do to you so arthritis kidney disease different types of kidney disease necro next is kidneys so nephropathy means pain in the kidneys so that lower back pain that can be from the spine but it's actually up a little bit into the sides that can actually be an indication of kidneys and leading to kidney failures so your kidneys are really over work by protein high protein diet and I get to that in a later slide atherosclerosis which is the buildup of plaque in the arteries and the arteries being too hard not able to contract so you get those small dense ldls that's coming from eating the high protein with sugar diet and also this is the thing that's interesting is these guys the age the debris is blocking the ldls from delivering their load and coming back to the to the liver as hdls um so you see it in diabetics they actually have a much higher prevalence of age and that's going to be because of the glue that's floating around in their bloodstream um and so this diet uh neurological issues so dementia coordination uh neuropathy is what that's supposed to say uh and cancer cancer cells love age and you pick any type erectile dysfunction incontinence Eye Health and so again this is high protein with a combination with sugar so it's not just sugar uh so skin wrinkles anything that's from aging is they gave it a perfect acronym and so there you go so they're in the the upper corner it talks about that bacon is actually considered as much a carcinogen as smoking but I don't think there's labels possibly in California they have to label the bacon when they sell it the class one carcinogen it's really hard to be a class one carcinogen it means no doubt at all it causes cancer smoking cigarette is a Class one carcinogen smoking anything actually because of the toxins you're putting in your lungs and that you're releasing for all the people around you uh plutonium and I'm pretty sure none of you are going to put plutonium on your food and um all this processed meat and especially the cured meat because in the curing process you create these nitrosamines that are known to create cause cancer um and sunlight overexposure to sunlight all right and that is because of the age excuse the problem with my PowerPoint today uh and so that is the ribbon for prostate cancer the purple one and so there we go these are all the cured meats um so if you're gonna eat meat it's it's the amount of meat we eat in our culture and that we're eating a lot of meats that are cured and processed uh whereas the food at the top that we do every time we eat choose to eat more vegetables and more fruits um they're not processed uh this is actually interesting and you can Google it if you're interested and most students are repulsed by this idea but it is our future and is the idea that we're gonna because the other there's other issues with the amount of animal products we eat that we're going to be growing our proteins in the laboratory meaning not the animal that all we need is the cells and that they are creating this these cells that will produce protein that tastes just like uh what we're all used to uh this in the upper left hand corner is what you guys get to do uh rather than making up your own recipe this week you actually will have to find one from their website and it's in our thing uh it's called ports Over Knives because you need a knife if you eat animal products whereas if you're eating vegetable products you usually just use a Forks that's why they call pork over Knives they are completely vegan they it's oil free uh very low sugar and it is a vegan recipe I'm not asking you to be vegan for the week although some students do decide they want to try it I'm asking for one dish at one meal if you would like for your next healthy challenge to try to be vegan for the month go for it because it is there are unhealthy ways to be vegan but there are very healthy ways um and so oops we don't want to do that all right this is actually something though this is the second question I think in your homework for this video is would you eat cricket and so I had a student one year who asked if he could do this topic on Cricut and I said sure because I was intrigued and I didn't know and he had been in a speech class since somebody had done a speech on it they actually made Cricket brownies for the class he actually ordered the cricket flower and something I have on my to-do list and I never do uh but you can see from the slide if you compare Cricket to cow or beef um that has far fewer calories because you're pretty much there's not very much fat in there but very similar amount of protein 100 grams pretty comparable so almost 19 compared to 23.5 so that's similar but you're cutting the fat way down um you obviously need a lot more crickets to get to that but the amount of the environmental impact the Crickets have have a very very low environmental impact so you need so hardly any lands and I have some pictures in the next slides the water usage so this is something that yay hooray for eating animal products that's this is the whole thing is environmentally when I gave up eating animal products it was because I read Gandhi's autobiography as I was driving across the country my first time when I was 28 years old or something like that and I decided I wasn't going to eat animal products it was very difficult to be vegan at that time um and I also was much younger and did not understand how to do it in a the healthiest way um and so I am not vegan I'm Whole Food plant-based um I do eat fish every once in a while because people bring me um wild caught salmon uh but it's I somebody I worked with said oh why are you vegan is it and she gave me a list of 10 reasons and I thought well I read Gandhi's autobiography and that wasn't one of her reasons and one was the environmental impact and I had never heard of that but eating animal products has a huge impact because one on the land but okay you can argue they're using land that we're not using further um uses uh the amount of water they're eating our food and the amount of CO2 a greenhouse gas that is produced this is looking at at Beef versus right poultry you can see is much less versus the Cricut choosing one gallon versus a thousand gallons uh if we look at the how much protein is in the flour um and I don't know if that's what that comparison is uh and if you look at making Cricut yeah anyway um at the mound protein in the flour is actually quite a bit more than it is in the other ones um and the greenhouse gas no comparison and so there's a picture of growing cows that is the nice picture you can go online and see some really disturbing pictures of how your beef is mass produced and this is a cricket Farm the picture I couldn't find I found it five years ago was actually they were growing them in cities The Crickets they were raising them not growing them in cities and they were these beautiful like domes that the Crickets lived in and then of course they are um there's the cricket cookies that are made from the cricket flower they're a cricket protein bars so I I did my student made crooked brownies and I ate them most the students would not um I actually found Cricket treats for my dog they were on like clearance because nobody wanted them and this is just looking at the ingredients which these bars are actually fairly healthy and this guy's got a big smile on his face he's saying hey look here's Cricket uh because even though there is fat at the fat is from the almonds they're using they're not using flour they're using whole dates and honey um and the cricket flower the thing is is because it's crickets if you have an allergy to shellfish you cannot have it because the shell is made out of the same thing but um which probably must be calcium carbonate and there we go this is a protein bar that is not cricut-based to compare it to uh that it is this blend so in the lower right hand corner this is a blend of Highly processed protein which is whey protein concentrate milk protein isolate uh as soon as you put the word isolate you have made it into something that is extremely toxic to your body soy protein isolate is the cause the link of soy to cancer if you eat the whole food the link goes away all this highly processed protein protein drinks is a nightmare um corn syrup if you are doing a protein drink please read the label this this has the fewest number of ingredients I've seen of any of these protein bars again this is not the Cricut one the cricket ones in the upper right hand corner uh the sweetener is one of the alcohol sugars which actually are showing up there haven't been a lot of research done but they light up your brain and you actually tend to eat more and they mess up your microbiome they also use edible vegetable oil as opposed to other vegetable oils that are not edible but they're admitting like there's corn syrup and the highly processed vegetable oils in there and oh we put a few almonds at the end the almonds would have no saturated fat um interestingly the amount of saturated fat in the cricket one I never even noticed that that's fascinating um do they list they list cholesterol though so I don't know um but here they do underline this is somebody else not me who underlined it uh that contains an oligof fructose as a dietary fiber that is known to cause serious problems to us so there's this whole push that oh it doesn't cause an increase in your blood glucose so everything's been mono we're looking at stuff that oh it's good for FedEx because their blood sugar doesn't go up uh again the fructose causes so much more damage because we're not looking at that um and so this is an F Factor fiber protein bar and again has the first ingredient is soluble corn fiber so in case you want to know what that means that means the part of the corn husk that they're throwing away because it's not digestible and anyway um if you watch that one documentary that was on uh they were admitting that they were adding sawdust corn dust to our cereal as a filler and so this is pretty much admitting that again the brown rice protein concentrate so even though this is vegan this is like the unhealthiest thing out there we're taking brown rice which was healthy and we're isolating the protein out of it so just because something's labeled vegan does not make it healthy um The Peanut flour at least it's the whole peanut that they're making into a flower but why not make your own and then you don't have to do that it does have different oils peanut oil palm kernel oil which means highly processed and this is one of my students back in chem 106 had said well you know I do these protein drinks this protein powder the guy at the club told me to do it who's getting money off of you by the way that's why they push it as you walk in and so I said well send me a picture of the ingredients and I'll look at it and tell you if I think it's good or not and by the way there look magnesium zinc copper chromium sodium potassium you guys have to pick either a mineral or a vitamin that you're going to research for your next paper so if you haven't be doing that let me know what you're picking it has to be a vitamin or a mineral not a supplement not an additive a specific vitamin or mineral uh and so the first thing is milk protein isolate so I'm like well do I have to go any further oh calcium caseinate so casein again we saw was opioids that's isolated milk protein again whey protein concentrates basically we took milk and even though I don't drink milk at least the milk you're getting it as a whole food and here we're isolating all the stuff from it uh so we're making it into a carcinogen and then we add a non-dairy creamer which has sunflower oil in it and can we go on uh tocopherols is vitamin E um and there's the soluble corn fibers make a filler in there again and more whey protein isolate and more canola oil and then hydrolyzed whey protein concentrate oh and as a sweetener let's put in the like most toxic sucralose artificial sweetener there is anyway I was like where do I begin the serving size is Two Scoops and the container only has about 11. um and here we go looking at protein one bar not much better that you have all this Protein Isolate yet the idea uh I don't think I had you looking at a food label for this week um and I should have had to so this is more on your own look at the label and look at the protein because most people just say hey look it says protein one protein is so important they name protein correctly the most important 10 grams of protein I'm good it's only 15 of what I need for the day which they're trying to say you need like 80 grams of protein it's that in a few minutes uh it is that all this protein is highly isolated which that's not how it's supposed to be so with that let's talk about the pH scale I know it's not a chemistry class but how you can talk about protein or any of this stuff without talking about pH a couple of you did mention it in your talks so seven is neutral on the pH scale that does not mean that's better and if you do this in a test tube all your fruits and vegetables are acids things that are bases are the cleaners in your house soap baking soda ammonia drain cleaner our blood is what we care about and blood our blood is actually very slightly alkaline all the time in fact if you're at a pH of seven you would be dead so our blood pH needs to be in a range of about 7.3 7.2 to 7.4 and above and below that you're if you're if you're too low if you're at the lower end below as it says the 7.35 you're in acidosis below 7.2 I'm pretty much you go into a coma um and alkalosis is when you go too high you want to be in that normal it's a really fine line so the pH scale is a logarithmic scale as is the earthquake uh the Richter scale and so every one difference a whole one is a tenfold difference this is causing a very slight difference in the pH is where our blood thrives so you take Anatomy you go into nursing school you learn all the signs of metabolic acidosis everything causes headaches and blood pressure uh this is a better picture I think than all those words which is alkaline blood which means the normal the 7.35 the 7.45 and it looks nice and pink and like they're they're round circle we imagine blood acidic blood we're talking below the 7.3 7.2 to 7.3 and Americans are in a state a chronic metabolic acidosis most Americans have blood in the range of 7.2 to 7.3 you're not dead you're not in a coma you're functioning but you're functioning with that blood and the number one cause of acidic blood you can see it on the slide is animal protein is meat number two is sugar uh and then the highly processed white bread and everything coffee soft drinks alcohol cigarettes a lot of prescription drugs and of course processed food which my opinion processed food needs to move up what causes your blood to be alkaline as vegetables and fruits because in the vegetables and fruits there are a lot of minerals and your body your blood needs those minerals to work to buffer the pH um and so it's eating that whole food plant-based and we want to be alkaline again there and so if you're going to eat crap you're going to have acidic blood and if you're gonna eat more of the rainbow next week we're gonna come back and talk about this more next week so the more you choose to eat plant-based the more alkaline your blood will be uh so this is that wall of words that goes I'm not going to read it but it was just a quick Google search and this person came up and it was perfect as a review of diet induced metabolic acidosis they're saying low grade because you're still functioning uh the article I read was the over 25 years ago and it was in an acupuncture journal and so it's nice to see it showing up in nutrition journalist but people don't read Journal nutrients but what this is saying is the excess of consumption of acid precursor Foods what you're saying is phosphorus that's your soda and proteins they should have said animal proteins but they're afraid to say that um so to cut to the Chase and these are things that happen you get kidney stones you get uh bone resorption yeah the demineralization of your bones the number one cause of osteoporosis is animal protein yet the dairy industry somehow has convinced everybody that Dairy is going to prevent it when actually Dairy may be the cause of osteoporosis anyway more on that as we go along chronic diseases type 2 diabetes hypertension hepatic means liver stress which is like the biggest issues now and their recommendation is we need more fruit and vegetables and an appropriate Supply and this is a figure from theirs which shows you the amount of money they have so you get creaky bones you get bone fractures what's happening is your body pH is to your blood pH is in the acidic and so your body's trying to buffer it with calcium and you have a store of calcium in your bones so the the calcium from your bones comes out and it's trying to buffer the blood and then it doesn't go back in your bones it goes into your joints and your joints become creaky and stiff uh the kidneys there in the middle and this is Joey and I went to the Oz museum such so cool we drove through Kansas and so we stopped there and had fun but um cortisol so the Cowardly Lion is cortisol is afraid of everything and that leads to loss of your lean math those muscles and high blood pressure and insulin resistance is there in the middle of the IR so type 2 diabetes and your kidneys um it's so hard on your kidneys so we're going to look at a little bit of chemistry here um eating the rainbows so the rainbow's really high the number one source of bicarbonate the key is bicarbonate so our blood has this carbonic acid which can break down into bicarbonate and the hydrogen ion the more hydrogen ion you have the lower your pH that's the key it has to do with the guy who came up with the pH scale higher more acidity means more hydrogen which means the lower pH so the lower the ph the more acidic and so we're dead below a pH of seven so we're always going to be slightly alkaline also has to do with our body temperature is 37 and not 20. but our we can regulate the amount of hydrogen in our body with our breathing because of exhaling the CO2 so if your lungs are compromised and you can't get rid of the CO2 this is going to cause respiratory acidosis because the CO2 is going to push into your blood which is going to try to compensate at the other end which is our kidneys your kidneys regulate even bicarbonate so bicarbonate is a good thing and when you're getting it in Whole Food it's going to help to buffer the pH because it's going to bind to the hydrogen and so you're not going to have as much hydrogen and the pH isn't going to drop as much so the number one source of bicarbonate is potatoes those white potatoes that are so badly maligned so purpose love potatoes it's one of the few things that grows at altitude and they didn't have issues with diabetes until we introduce things like soda and processed food to them and so this is kind of took us to alubari which is the high potato field so this is in Nepal and that is straight down there and I think I may be the only white person on this planet who's actually walked this path because this is not a trekking route timid Society one to take us up meet the yak herders and so we hiked up with all we had was a lunch and a two-person tent and he's oh we didn't even have the two-person tent yet sorry all we had was our lunch and he said we'll find the yak herders and yeah I ate my lunch and I said where's the accurate because you're really hungry in your high altitude but anyway we this was the goat herder we found and we waited for him to come and because some dude would the ponies told us to go there and he came with all of his goats he had over 200 only two or three were male and the baby goats climbed all over us because we were going to sleep in their area and then he was like the hostess with the most I didn't speak a word in them Paul speak a word of English but he had the greatest smile pimba was our translator and that's Joey 12 years ago so he had picked wild mushrooms and I was so hungry I didn't care what kind of mushrooms they were and I do terrible at altitude so he made us the most scrumptious food fed us and then we slept where the goats would have slept that's Joey and me snuggled up and I woke up in the morning and walked outside the Russian heads and that was my view the sunrise over Annapurna which is the 10th highest peak in the world and then he gave us some fresh goat milk the only time I have had goat milk uh and then the pony showed up again and the ponies came because the best fertilizer for the apples that were down a thousand meters below us 3000 feet is um goat poop is the perfect fertilizer for apples and so there they and then then he told us where the yak herder was and so we went on a hike and pimba picked more wild mushrooms and this is the cave that was the yak herders and I was freaking out because I'm like there's no way that we can live in this cave that we can stay here we need to go we need to go before you know but the actor showed up and kind of nodded a pimba and he made us a full meal and then he insisted we go to his high camp where the Acts were because so we went up another like 500 feet and by this time we're at like four thousand five four thousand feet basically the top of Mount Rainier uh we saw blue poppy which is extremely rare like it's one of the rarest flowers and it only grows at high elevation and The Golden Butterfly which only also was found high in the Himalayas uh and then we found the ax and we found a lot more Yaks and then we hiked over Quran law passed and pimlicario bags because I was doing terrible because now we're at 5 400 meters and Over the Rainbow we met this guy when we went over the throne law passed who made the best food of all time uh and right when I say going over the rainbow or eat the rainbow this is next week something to look forward to I don't mean eating Skittles or M M's are all the ways that we have terribly made the rainbow uh reminder that the commercial baked goods are going to write make your brain depressed oxidative stress the over stimulation dopamine uh that you need we don't want to bring shrunk you need to eat fruits and veggies so which diet eats their vegetables Mediterranean diet is um one of the healthiest diets there is and then the typical Western diet so let's walk through these parts of the brain so the temporal lobe which you can see there is is nice and healthy and has this huge gaping hole in the western diet that's temporal is the side of our head that's where our Hearing Centers are it's how we receive information and then form our words for speech and so the Mediterranean diet it looks nice there's that big gaping hole that'd be good for communication uh The ventricle system ventricular system we do we also have this big gaping hole and this is how we transport and move fluid through the cerebral spinal fluid it pays our central nervous system and the Mediterranean diet is considered one of the healthiest diets longevity lowest rates of things like Alzheimer's and other neuro uh issues and then the hippocampus again you see that huge weird hole just look the same the two don't hippocampus is learning in memory so to me the the pictures speaks everything why you should eat more vegetables uh and why is she a lot less sugar because sugar shrinks the brain uh and so the acidosis cycle that we can see alkaline foods that they're pretty much the green Foods the purples the orange the vegetables uh and that yes uh the acidity of the blood is what cools calcium from your bones and then also leads to cancer osteoporosis arthritis a blockage of lymph nodes so your immune system isn't going to drain properly inflammation gum lines receding and so of course we see the corn syrup we see the ice cream uh breakfast cereal um yeah mustard this one interested me because you can find healthy mustard choices um that don't have all the added high fructose corn syrup but the other thing that's in there sorry we're gonna go back for a second is the acidosis besides being the highly processed the sugars and stuff is uh all the animal products which so let's talk about a high protein diet which is Americans are getting about 100 grams per day I think it's actually higher than this the slide I made well probably like 15 years ago um and I'm pretty sure it's much higher now because the amount of animal products I see people eating and it is double we we need about 50 grams per day of protein um total the size of your fist in the whole day not each meal and so protein is with sugar and the processing that is how you acidify your blood animal protein by the way it is protein from vegetable sources if it's not processed if it's not isolated actually alkalinizes your blood and again it's in the vegetable sources it's a whole food and so it's coming with all the minerals um that comes packaged with and so this pulls calcium from your bones leading to osteoporosis fractures and arthritis so yes if I mentioned Dairy pays a lot of money to cover this up and to have you believe that their product is going to prevent osteoporosis uh studies were done decades and decades and these continue looking at African-American women versus women in Africa and looking at rates of fracture and the women in Africa will have like five to ten children they'll breastfeed all each child for at least two years uh and they have absolutely no issues with osteoporosis fractures and arthritis and they're doing um they also thought was because they're they're much more mobile they're always walking and carrying stuff they have to walk to a clean water source uh the African-American the woman in this country or from Africa had significant I mean had osteoporosis fractures arthritis the same as anybody else in this country um and it's when they really looked so they're taking out the genetic Factor um when they looked at it the culprit was the animal products and especially milk uh cancer lives only in acidic environment meaning 7.2 to 7.3 if you keep the blood alkaline the cancer cells can't Thrive uh and under that degenerative diseases so The China Study this is one of the videos that the one I suggest is Forks Over Knives and they discuss The China Study um it's an exceptional documentary if you're in my chem 106 you have to pick a different one because you had to watch it I highly recommend you you can find This Book used for a couple bucks it is extremely sciency um but he T Colin Campbell grew up on a dairy farm uh and he went to school to study meats and to he then got his first job like in the Philippines they talked about in the movie the documentary uh and he went there to help these poor famous people to get more meat to figure out how can I get more high protein sees people it has to be animal products and he was not ready for what ended up changing his life which was it was the animal products the people who were the rich people who could afford the animal products had the higher rates of cancer and degenerative diseases and heart disease whereas the poor people ate no animals they couldn't afford it did not have any of this um and and liver disease was the other big one and so it was at the time the biggest study it was looking at people in he then went became he's vegan he's he doesn't say he's vegan because veganisms become extremely unhealthy process uh his whole food plant-based is several books out um amazing I think he's might be 90 now and is thriving uh but in the study they looked at rural China they looked at uh U.S diet and they looked at Oxford was in this too so England and they found this huge correlation of people uh the more Animal product you ate 17-fold increase in heart disease a five-fold increase in breast cancer kidney disease so there you go uh your kidneys that's the only way you can get rid of the nitrogen so amino acids have nitrogen on them when you take in twice as much protein as your body needs even if you're exercising that your kidneys have to get rid of the nitrogen so you can store the carbon hydrogen a saturated fat and cholesterol and all of the only way you can get rid of nitrogen is to go through What's called the urea cycle which is what your kidneys do and so high protein diet pretty much destroys the kidneys the good news is you can heal um yeah people when you're in the hospital if you're put on if you're in there for kidney issues you're put on a low protein diet because of this fact I also there's no fiber in animal products even though people think there is so you so the Atkins diet which is now the keto diet that most people actually don't have bowel movements uh daily on the Atkins diet I know the study that I saw they did up at OHSU and they compared the Mediterranean diet Atkins and I'm not remembering the other two they looked at Mediterranean always gets high uh we're going to talk about Mediterranean diet it's it's very highly plant-based they do eat some fish or some local poultry uh it's probably how they also and they they live the longest they live extremely healthy they have the lowest rates of all the different diseases and stuff now of course there's people who are not following the Mediterranean diet in the Mediterranean areas but um on the study up at OHSU the people on the Atkins diet was like every five days they'd have a bowel movement and I was like you got to be kidding me um but it was that you pretty much are not eating carbs and some of you even said oh this is this was the dark side on somebody's thing was oh it's high in carbs um please don't go there you guys there are really good whole food has very healthy carbohydrates which is your starches and fibers and your body and it's filled with minerals and your body's gonna digest it and absorb it and high protein diet in fact high protein was the Paleo phase that we went on these high protein diets for several years and they don't recommend them anymore that was a fad it went out of fad and the high fat came back and they even say this in places where nobody would ever tell you eat a high protein diet even though everybody is because it causes you to die really young um yeah so people were dying on these diets uh but anyway a high protein diet does send you into acidosis ketosis it's just called ketosis uh because they don't want to admit that it's making you acidic and your cancer cells so your body is if it doesn't take in carbohydrates it needs another Fuel and it has to start making ketones and it makes the ketones from fat um but you you totally eliminate uh there's also the whole thing of the exposure so almost everybody who talked about a plant food said let's say broccoli the the Dark Side of broccoli was they have this exposure to pesticides um from spraying the plants uh the exposure to the pesticides is actually much higher in the animal products because the animals are eating all this food that is sprayed with pesticides and all this other stuff antibiotics are given like unbelievably these animals a gal like 20 years ago so she'd be um probably 40 now she won the high school science competition she was from West Virginia and all she did was go take a sample of water in her backyard and how that Regis rates of the antibiotics and it was because she was it wasn't from fleshing it down our toilets from people getting rid of like taking antibiotics it was they were Downstream from a meat um factory farm and it was the amount of antibiotics uh given to the animals also growth hormone and those are all other things and my protein actually as well as the high sugar diet they actually suppress your immune system and that background is Mother Earth that are it's not sustainable for us to eat the way Americans eat so I'm not anti-animals um protein if you want to eat animal protein it's the amount that we eat is two to four times the amount I am anti the highly processed isolated protein that is in those drinks and bars that people eat because that is not healthy so this is flip so the alkaline is now on the left and this is just speaks volumes so on the left you're eating your fruits and vegetables and on the right you're eating highly processed meat and there's no comparisons this person is still alive he's going to class he's doing stuff look at their immune cells if we want to talk about covid that that immune cell is not going to do anything for anybody look at the red blood cells they look like ninja weapons how is that going to bind to oxygen and so I talked about that at the beginning these guys who are bodybuilders found that when they went to vegan they had an edge and look at the blood is there any question why there are bodybuilders they're not doing these protein drinks and stuff and back to ketones that high protein diet or the keto diet you're making ketones and cancer cells love ketones it's their preference um if they they also like glucose but they prefer ketones um and so double breast cancer growth and metastasis moving to other cell parts of the body in all experimental this is these numbers tell you this is from Dr greger's book uh so the breast cancer often metastasizes to the liver which is very fascinating because the liver is the only place your body can make ketones ketones have been glorified I don't understand it with all my background in Biochemistry I'm like why would anybody want to be in ketosis and all these doctors who are promoting it um your liver is where you're making ketones and that is where so many cancers move to because they're like hey this is great we're gonna go to the place where all the action is uh when they drip ketones directly on breast cancer cells they were actually able to change them into a more aggressive form of the cancer and this actually was one of the things that needed me is in the pharmacological world the drug world that this when they're looking for cancer suppressors cancer chemotherapeutic agents they're looking at ways to block ketones because they know this as a fact the cancer cells thrive on ketones and the meta-analysis when they looked at all them what they find is diets high in saturated fat um so you're eating food that is high in saturated fat you saw a 50 percent increase so 100 means a double but 50 increase in deaths from breast cancer so meaning you didn't recover and continue on with vibrant life uh the official recommendation for cancer is the exact opposite of the keto diet which is you eat more plants High vegetable high fruit whole grains legumes low in saturated fats intake of saturated fat is coming from eating animal food when you eat animal protein you're eating animal food unless they grow the cells and then that's a whole nother world that we're creating uh this is aside from my first day that our federal guidelines tell us that 25 percent of your diet can be total crap this is our government regulations and most Americans this number this is pre-covered this number's got to be 98 to 99 now um and I know this is off that it's actually four percent of the average American diet is fruits and vegetables four percent half of it over half is processed food and another part is animal products which a high amount of the animal products is highly processed animal products so if you're going to eat the standard American diet you're in a state of chronic systemic metabolic acidosis the thing is is we heal and all you have to do is switch to more plant food I'm not saying you have to be completely plant-based but you should be so when your body is acidic these are all over the place uh your bones are weaker you're fatigued you have skin problems muscle pain dental problems at weight gain um and so consume more vegetables and dare we say cut out they don't want to say cut out meat but especially processed meat because yeah that's Joey when he was going through a slightly chubby phase and so we went to an indoor golf place and I thought it was funny uh but he at one time did eat animal products um and not much and he did completely switch to Whole Food plant-based uh he's more gung-ho about this than me if he was here he'd be telling you you have to all be get rid of the animal products uh and he is [Music] um slim and exercises and has amazing endurance and inspires me every day this is pictures I can't remember if I've shown these to you uh it was a dude from National Geographic maybe not National Geographic but um I have the original magazine up in my office uh he goes around different countries he buys a family a week's worth of groceries uh and so you can pick which family you want to join for dinner I can also pick which family which countries have the highest rates of heart disease cancer and what else do you want inflammation osteoporosis we can name them all also which which one has the best hats I mean really if there's any question about it one of the things that's really hard also is looking in the background of many of these in the amount of soda that's they're drinking uh and the amount of processed foods so I've seen some of the original pictures and so although we see that certain countries are the poorest they are eating some of the healthiest Foods and so antioxidants is our our way to go and animal products don't have the antioxidants so radical oxygen species are free radicals and if you're going to eat processed meat it is free radical free radical City it's the same as smoking cigarettes it's the same as eating those french fries that are deep fried and so the antioxidants are in the whole food plant-based diet and so the reason this is here is because not only is it causing free radicals it's putting you in a state of that chronic metabolic acidosis so you're able to come to school you're able to place porch you're going for a run and you're not aware of what's going on inside of your body Again Korean War they did autopsies on the soldiers when they died so these are 18 19 20 year old boys and all the American soldiers were showing at 18 19 and 20 arthrosclerosis they were showing damage to their arteries and the Korean soldiers did not have any and they could not figure out this is in the 50s this is before processed foods this is before our consumption of sugar just skyrockets before all the processing of oil what happened uh and it was the school Dairy program that got pushed during World War II that all these boys had grown up drinking their milk every day something to ponder and I took the right key and so again alkalosis and antioxidants I talked about this I believe the causes of death in the U.S uh and so diabetes and I have this because there is something so all of these and especially diabetes losing weight uh physical activity and a whole food plant-based um and so we can choose to do drugs to deal with the diabetes to deal with the clotting of the blood to deal with the high blood pressure or we can choose to do food and some of you have shared with me who've worked with elderly people that giving them a more more vegetables more real food um but hey no meat that's that's too drastic give me the meds in 1964 when we said you got to stop smoking but the argument that I always get and I know some of you have probably stopped listening because you're like she's going on I love my meat I love my protein drink great this is for the one or two of you who are still listening are you saying uh our bodies are designed to eat meat right I have question marks there because that's what my next slide is about uh actually no our body is not designed to eat meat uh carnivore is actually all carnivores walk on four feet so you're like okay well we're an omnivore uh our intestines are also much too long for meat so uh your aunt dog your pet dog their intestines are like only a couple feet long ours are 26 feet long people say no we're not meant to eat plant-based because plant-based animals theirs are much longer than ours and so it's a ratio of your body size to the length of your intestines and the unfortunate part is they measured us from head to toe and that is not our body size because if we're walking on all fours our body size suddenly the feet the legs would not be included in there uh also you're not putting your food doesn't come out your feet it comes out somewhere else so if you actually measure the length of your digestive tract and compare it to your small intestines um and also the pH of our stomach is actually not low enough to be carnivores so we're all saying our stomach isn't isn't aesthetic enough your stomach is acidic because you have to have an acidic stomach to digest to denature and hydrolyze the protein if the pH is not low enough uh that protein's not getting hydrolyzed um and our teeth right well let's look at the picture uh so you can decide from looking at that uh so we might have those things uh that actually we really don't because look at your cat uh the things on your cat are much more impressive uh we're definitely not or before what I'm saying what we are is something called a fujabor so I actually um listen to this guy from India and he's he's uh died uh and this talk is from 140 years ago it's a transcript from it and he actually in the yogic Sciences they have promoted this that you eat fruits and vegetables um and he talked about all these things that they've known for a thousand years um about our digestive system is not meant to eat the amount of animal products we do we're not the omnivore that eats meat and vegetables we're more the ones that should be eating fruits vegetables and nuts so something for you to think about uh and also animal protein changes our microbiome uh so the bacteria in your microbiome um one animal food it wants the fiber there it wants the fiber that came in its original vibrational form of fruits and vegetables and legumes so Studies have been done and they can actually see a flip-flop um in like a pretty short time it was actually days is my memory from Dr greger's book um and they took people who were Whole Food plant-based and they had them eat a meal they had animal products and they actually could see a change through the more disease causing less favorable bacteria and they actually could see vice versa people ate mostly animal based uh even if you're only eating like a couple times a week that actually will keep promoting it this was the talk I heard this guy he's actually very charismatic he's an MD he was a cardiologist and when he turned 40 he went and had his own uh checkup 40 or 50 and he was not happy because he realized because he was the one who had been counseling people he was going to have a heart attack and he took a six-month sabbatical and started researching it and he was somebody who loved protein loved animal products and he was for six months he had to take the sabbatical because after the first two weeks he's like no don't tell me this and his wife would come home and he'd have just more papers signs of papers and they all pointed every chart that every heart disease every type of cancer was a perfect correlation the animal protein intake and so he is Whole Food plant-based and he goes and speaks on it and as I already mentioned um Mama guy I can't survive eating the way we Americans eat um and so you can look into it the whole greenhouse gas and that's why they actually will talk about one of the biggest things you can do for greenhouse gases is not driving the Prius is to stop eating the McDonald's hamburgers or the chicken at Chick-fil-A or wherever because the mountain deforestation uh the amount I I showed with the cricket slide that the CO2 produced but um yeah uh and just I think this is the last slide uh that the Mediterranean diet which we will talk about I think it's in week nine uh in the typical Western diet so you can see their diet their pyramid on the left is mostly uh plant-based they have some animal products where ours is pretty much flipped from theirs that it's highly processed highly sugar and Animal product based uh and so symbiosis means living in harmony your microbiome is happy and dysbiosis means in in harmony or chronic disease pyramid and that is it thank you for listening and I hope you have a most beautiful day and go eat some
