I struggle to believe this is true, how do the Inuit along with some African tribes live a diet of pure meat, yet they have no heart problems and cholesterol problems?
How were people not dying of heart attacks during the ice age when they had nothing to eat but meat?
Humans have been around for 200k years and the majority of that was spent munching on meat and the occasional fruit.
Please tell me I'm wrong.
Because saturated fat being bad for you is a meme manufactured by Procter&Gamble, the inventors of Crisco (and who funded the AHA) and Ancel Keys’ fraudulent research that included cherry-picking countries to show trends.
Just the fact that heart disease increased so much in the last 100-200 years proves it's not meat, it's some new shit.
For the diet part my money is on GMO corn/wheat, and sneed oils. They cause inflammation and damage all over the body, leading to damaged cholesterol (small dense LDL), damaged arteries (cholesterol accumulates in these damaged arteries) and other inflammation related disease
The meat they ate was nothing like the meat we eat
How is different?
Modern day meat from domesticated animals that you buy in the store has been bread to be as fatty and as meaty as we can make them and they get very little physical activity on the farm. Tribal people were eating wild game that needed to be muscular in order to survive so their meat was super lean and had way less of a fat content than your typical modern farm cow or pig
Just eat lean cuts lol
lol yeah I agree with you but that’s not what this conversation was about, we’re talking about why heart disease is higher today, most people prefer fatty meats
>some African tribes live a diet of pure meat, yet they have no heart problems and cholesterol problems?
The Massai have CVD
?
>And what about that previous, imperfect assessment of heart disease? Dr. Mann, who published some of the early research, did an autopsy study of 50 Masai men and found that they had extensive atherosclerosis. They had disease (coronary intimal thickening) on par with older American men. Over 80% of the men over age 40 had severe fibrosis in their aorta, the main blood vessel from the heart that supplies the rest of the body with blood. Yet there were no heart attacks shown on autopsy and these men still had functional heart vessels without blockages because their vessels had become larger. Researchers thought this might have been related to their rather extreme daily physical activity.

>eat tons of fat that supposedly clogs arteries
>vessels get larger so fat doesn't clog up
so just get a lot of physical activity and I can eat all the fat I want?
>so just get a lot of physical activity and I can eat all the fat I want?
And have Masai genetics
They now get heart disease when they eat a Western diet just like the rest. They're not magically immune
It'll be protective, you won't have the "sedentary" risk factor, but your overall life might still be shorter. The more risk factors you pile up, the more likely you get a heart attack or stroke. The fewer, the less likely. Your call on what's worth it. I don't think a strongman could do his job without eating a ton of steak for example, so he'll just have to eat that risk factor.
Modern day domesticated meat has been bread to be much fattier than what they ate, they were eating wild animals which were much leaner, also they got tons of physical activity and didn’t eat more then they were supposed to because of food scarcity. Also they didn’t eat only meat, they also ate whatever plants and berries they could forge for, and I’m sure they didn’t have “no heart problems” some of them certainly did, it’s just not as common. It’s not to say they didn’t have other health problems, intestinal problems were much more common due to things like parasites and other symptoms from shit they ate
The only veg Eskimos had was from the stomach contents of walruses they killed and they ate a ton of fat. I'm with you on the they got more exercise point but you are generally misinformed.
Even when talking about ancient tribal groups the Inuit are a rare exception. Their bodies actually show signs of genetic adaptations caused by evolutionary processes, their bodies needed high amounts of animal fat to survive due to the harsh weather and living conditions, and today their diet has become more modernized. you are generally misinformed
>t.Alaskan
Be quiet fool. You know as much about ancient people's and their diets as you do anything else.
lel not an argument, you know jack shit huh?
the same doctor that tells you not to eat fat would tell you to take hormones and chop off your dick if you came to him as an autistic porn addict with a fetish.
>How were people not dying of heart attacks during the ice age when they had nothing to eat but meat?
It's possible they were.

Worth noting that heart disease is not something that kills you before reproductive age so it wouldn't be selected against. The most compelling argument I've seen for the why of the saturated fat and cholesterol thing, is something called "antagonistic pleiotropy." Which is basically where a tradeoff is made for early life, reproductive success in exchange for long term fitness. Living long and healthy is not really selected for evolutionarily, just reproductive success. There might be some fitness advantage to how we metabolize saturated fat earlier in life, especially in times of low calorie consumption, but it works against us if we acre about surviving past 40.
He belonged to the Early European Farmers, who mostly ate grain
I struggle to believe any cholesterol is bad period and didn't start feeling strong and had good energy until I quit caring about it at all
>How were people not dying of heart attacks during the ice age when they had nothing to eat but meat?
How do you know they weren't?
i was there
FUCK the AHA and FUCK Incel Keys' seven countries study. They fucked us with their shit science.
Keyes was right and lived to 100 years old
based keys respecter. a legit genius who received the most unfair posthumous character assassination of any famous scientist.
Keys was wrong and lived to be a rolling 100yr old skeleton.
let's see how good you look at 100.
> let's see how good you look at 100.
I doubt he’s going to make it to 70. He thinks butter and cheese are healthfoods
those fats should be replaced with carbs then, as per the AHA?
The dietary guidelines rec replacing saturated fats with polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fats. Fish, legumes, nuts, avocados, olive oil and yes, seed oils even. There are some people that advocate super high carb diets, but that's not the guidelines.
Plenty of people live to 100. I would be more impressed if he made it to 100 in better shape.
I don't think it's fair to mock him for needing a chair and being ugly at 100 years old. Now if he had dementia or was hooked up to tubes all the time, I would understand. But even making it all is something of an achievement. Even with all our technological might, it's still very uncommon.
>Plenty of people
That's stretching it, I think. It's well above the average life expectancy in any first world country. There's about 300,000 in the world. Drop in the bucket. Still an anecdote, but it's at least a good one for the Mediterranean diet.
I would be more impressed to see your current shape at your teen age.
>Keyes was right
The most rigorous experiment conducted testing his hypothesis disproved it, wasn't published for about 40 years, and strangely doesn't have his name on the original publication despite him being a principle investigator. Strange definition of being "right"
>There was a 22% higher risk of death for each 30 mg/dL (0.78 mmol/L) reduction in serum cholesterol
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4836695/
Meat fat PLUS sugar causes health decreases.
But ALSO, cows are now fed seeds more than ever, meaning their FAT is becoming similar to SEED OILS. And they are EXTREMELY bad for all aspects related to health INCLUDING your ability to pass a good grade on an IQ test.
Get grass fed, grass finished, or buy fat SEPARATELY to add to meat that you pour the original fat off.
The idea of bad cholesterol came from office workers eating the same diet as people who are physically active.
It all circles back to not being a lardass as usual.
there is nothing wrong with any form of cholesterol.
Agreed
Nobody is testing African tribes for heart disease.
Many missionary physicians did and the result was the same. No heart disease until they start eating a Western diet. Whether their original diet was high in meat and fat or low in meat.
So you have a study or are you relying on literally people who believe a man is god traveling halfway around the world to convince people who don't speak their language of it for truth
The Hazda have been tested recently, they store no food at all and are a pretty good sample of a hunter-gatherer diet. Largely dominated by fruits, tubers, nuts and seeds, and their favorite food is honey. Of course, they also eat just about any meat they can get. Excellent biomarkers. Cholesterol levels are below 100. Blood pressure is also very low. I think I remember reading that their fiber intake exceeded 50g a day.
OK this is an argument against OPs fantasy that saturated fat is benign, but thanks
Wrong thread but okay.
>recently

It shows that being non-sedentary is healthy, something we know since ancient Greece at thelatest.
>I struggle to believe this is true, how do the Inuit along with some African tribes live a diet of pure meat, yet they have no heart problems and cholesterol problems?
Inuit do have massive heart problems. Massai have a life expectancy of ~40 years, as google tells me, and they generally dont eat much meat, contrary to internet wisdom.
This is the truth. People will hat on you for it but they are more attached to the idea that everything is permissible
unrelated to OP's question, but is there a limit on the number of eggs one should eat daily? they're such a convenient source of calories, but i don't want to accidentally give myself a heart attack or something
>convenient source of calories
They are 70 calories an egg. And you have to cook them. There are a million other things that are more convenient and fast
i drink them raw. 4 or 5 eggs takes 5 seconds to gulp down; it's easy to do after a meal too since my body doesn't even register them as food since they're liquid. it's an easy additional 300ish calories per meal
Well you are throwing away half the protein by doing that
why is that? i don't eat them for protien either way tbh, i think they only have like 6g per egg. i get most of my protien from other foods and mostly just eat them for the easy calories. i'm just a bit concerned because it feels like eating 10 or more eggs per day could be end up being problematic, what with all the cholesterol in eggs. when i google it i get mixed results
Well yeah it is problematic dude. We've known this fr decades. Only recently has the keto trend reinvigorated (formerly Atkins) and started pushing saturated fat as fine
Saturated fat is fine
OK kid
Not me saying it theres dozens of reviews of all the literature saying this
I'm not going to argue with you
Youre not arguing with me youre arguing against the evidence
pls just tell me if i should eat the eggs wtf guys
OK kid.

Get a life bro
Idk but it gives me acne
keep saturated fat to 25% of your total daily caloric intake. eat plenty of fiber, wholegrains and veges. psylium husk after each meal is a good method to help combat the negative effects of saturated fat on your arteries.
once again, everything in moderation CHADS stay winning while orthorexic neurotic israelite-op victims stay seething!!!
>keep saturated fat to 25% of your total daily caloric intake
no evidence for this
dont get diet advice on SwoleShack but if you insist cook the eggs for more nutrients
There is no good or bad cholesterol. There is only cholesterol. High-density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein just transport it around the body. The evidence that cholesterol is bad for you mostly comes from a group of Oxford studies, of which were mostly done on obese "people" and were funded by Pfizer, who owns the patent for stenol drugs
>The evidence that cholesterol is bad for you mostly comes from a group of Oxford studies
The CTT Collaberation, CTSU Oxford hold all the raw data on statin side effects yet don't allow outside review of the data and claim to be "independent" despite receiving hundreds of millions of dollars from statin drug manufacturers
Holy fuck
unlike the average ketonagger lardass that thinks eating sticks of butter and ribeye steak is "good for you", th Inuits eat every part of the animal. Meat, organs, eyes, brain, blood... Everything other than bones and fur. However the average cucked goyslop addicted westerner isn't used to this
Why does eating high fat makes vegans SEETHE this hard?
Is it because its not actually about health but rather the 'morality' of eating animal foods?
cholesterol is just fat, and consuming too much fat is only a bad thing if you're a lazy fuck
Those groups live to a ripe old age of 50
And not sitting down 24/7 probably has something to do with it
