The BIGGEST LIE About Food
I’m sure you’ve heard that lard, butter, and red meat are bad for you, but what’s the truth? Find out about the biggest lie about food.
0:00 Introduction: The biggest lie about food
0:25 What is cholesterol?
0:44 What is saturated fat?
1:46 Dietary cholesterol
2:55 The truth about cholesterol
Let's talk about the truth about saturated fat and cholesterol.
Cholesterol is a type of fat made by the liver that's used to make cell membranes, hormones, and vitamin D.
Saturated fat is a type of fat that stays solid at room temperature, while unsaturated fat is liquid at room temperature. Coconut oil is 87% saturated fat, and lard is 47% saturated fat.
Dietary cholesterol has little effect on total cholesterol. Your body makes about 80% of your cholesterol. If you consume more cholesterol, your body will make less. If you consume less cholesterol, your body will make more.
It's okay to consume steak, lard, and butter. Cholesterol is only bad when combined with things like sugar, smoking, trans fats, and seed oils.

I know right?

AI at work!
Dear Dr Berg. You responded to a comment of mine about glaucoma and for that I am greatful. There is a twist in the tale. I had a second and 3rd opinion. Turns out I do not have glaucoma but a membrane growing under the artificial lens. It was treated with laser surgery and now I am OK. Thank you for your channel and the encouragement to seek alternative medicine. GT
You are very welcome, glad you are doing better. Keep up the good work!
So happy for you! Dr Berg is awesome 😎
Soooo good! As usual again!
Just what I’m dealing with.
Very glad it helps!

Really glad it helps, thanks for the feedback!
Wonderful to know all this, Dr Berg! Enjoying butter and beef tallow for cooking. Thank you ❤🍳🧈
You are welcome, enjoy!
I love steaks with butter
Very good!
90% of whats on our grocery shelves doesnt classify as food
Not MY shopping 🛒🛍️ list.
100%. in fact it’s become a quiet war with silent weapons. i buy very few foods from the store and make everything from scratch. i will not become one of their casualties.
Mic drop. Nailed the cholesterol myth in a few minutes. The pharma industry has created a $30+ billion industry of statin/related drugs. We have been lied to.
Sugar is the bad guy
Greed is the bad guy
The lie tho is cholesterol and needing statins and the harm they do.
They’ve lied about a lot of things!
I keep getting a letter from my health insurance that I may want to consider getting on a statin. I don’t have high cholesterol.
All of my numbers are good.
Apparently hospital and health industry worldwide need to update and change everything. Too much false and inaccurate.
If everyone listened to Dr Berg maybe there wouldn’t be so many people in nursing homes.!
Good stuff Doc! Although few will believe it and continue going with the lies promoted everyday by their corporate handlers.
Glad to know that you liked this post!
Thanks for watching, appreciate the support!
Same with “Vit D toxicity” and “dangerous sun exposure”. Everything is fitting and making sense. No wonder there are so many health problems 🤡🤑💊
Yes, exactly! Then what do we know? Now there’s tons of sunscreens that have been restored to cause cancers 🤔
Is it true, that Vitamin D is a toxic supplement?
Mono-saturated fats are healthy. Poly-unsaturated (PUF’s) not so much. This is the fat that oxidizes in the body causing inflammation and cellular damage.
Great video. During the U.S. Depression in the 1930s-40s, margarine was substitited for butter (which was rationed). It came white with a coloring pill you mixed to make it look like butter. My father ABSOLUTELY REFUSED to eat it, and ALWAYS used lard as a spread & to cook with. MOM’S pie crusts were epic, made with lard. Looks like he was right.
I remember my grandmother saying during the depression they were so fortunate that they always had butter; the things we take for granted.
My grandparents were the same, they wouldn’t touch margarine. They ate lard and butter. Live into their 90’s.
Blessed be Sir. What we have intuitively known, judging on the aggression of the pharma industry and their “journalists”.
I think another problem is the amount we eat even if the food is healthy. We were not meant to gorge ourselves food and that includes stuffing ourselves with healthy grass fed beef and organic fruits and vegetables.
100 percent correct.
You’re correct, too much of anything, including good things, can be bad for us. That’s why I try to watch what I eat, how much, and how often. Intermittent fasting can do wonders, too. ☺️
@@denisegaylord382 I am still stuck at the how much to eat during IF…Some say we should just take our daily caloric need and divide it between the meals..Others say that you should divide your daily calories into 3 meals (3×500 =1500) – so on 18/6 you would only eat 2 meals which would come down to 1000 cal a day….500 cal in the form of veg, meat still means that you have to eat a lot…So please tell me how do you do it? I am insulin resistant and tried carnivore (but can’t thus needs fiber) – eating high volumes of food just triggers hunger for me…I am lost😆
Let’s not forget that they decreased the guideline values for cholesterol throughout the years… They don’t us to be healthy
I have family that are vegetarian/vegan. They refuse to eat dairy or meat or butter.. they think I eat unhealthy because I eat a lot of meat and full fat food items. But they’re the ones believing lies and who are unhealthy. Makes me so mad!!
I have learned more about diet, nutrition, and the biochemistry of the human body from your channel than forty plus years of books, magazines, and documentaries. Thank you for these great, free videos. Many blessings to you.
No problem. Glad to make videos that can help you all.
