How to NEVER get confused about Nutrition again! (NOT click-bait!!)

1)
when we eat whole grains like wheat it releases a peptide called gliadin. And our gut can’t break down gliadin so it’s absorbed whole. gliadin can bind to receptors in the brain, in the hypothalamus. the hypothalamus controls several physiological functions like hunger for example. So this is why we should avoid eating too many whole-grains, because they can increase our appetite and make us eat more

(this is not about our opinion of whole grains. just about that argument as presented. It could be any other food instead of whole grains).

main argument= whole grains make us eat more,. If u don’t know anything else about whole grains, is that argument as laid out, convincing?

main claim that whole grains make us eat more is not compelling. do people who eat whole grains get hungrier or eat more overall or gain more weight?

in most studies whole grains have either no effect or decrease appetite depending what we compare them to. same for weight. no change or weight loss on whole grains

2)
nowadays we eat too much oil, throughout evolution our ancestors didn’t have oil available so our bodies don’t know how to deal with it metabolically. And sure enough our ancestors in the paleolithic were lean and even now if you look at hunter gatherer cultures they eat natural foods, no oils and they’re lean as well. So the ubiquity of oils in our society is really one of the reasons we’re so overweight and sick, and so avoiding oil is a great health choice

pretend it's 1st time we’re hearing about oil. main argument=oil is unhealthy, is the evidence convincing?

logical leap: oil=cause of weight gain and disease

hunter-gatherers also don’t eat other processed foods. How do we know oil is the key? oil could be slimming.

Do people who eat oil get fatter? (in reasonably matched comparison)

3)
ultraprocessed foods lead to weight gain. ultraprocessed foods associate with higher BMi and in a clinical trial, people allowed to eat as much as they wanted ended up eating more calories and putting on more weight if their food was highly processed. So moderating ultraprocessed foods can help maintain a healthy body weight

we’re only judging the argument, not our opinion on ultraprocessed foods

Evidence that directly addresses the claim. Outcome data with and without ultraprocessed foods

4)
eggs are high in choline. our body turns choline into TMAO. Now we know from experiments in animal models that TMAO causes macrophages to take up more cholesterol, which is a key step in atherosclerosis. So this shows that eating too many eggs can raise our risk of heart disease. so it’s better to eat them in moderation or avoid them altogether

We talk about molecules (choline , tmao) then make a logical leap to risk of a disease, that eggs raise risk. we’d want to see evidence that people who eat more eggs have more heart disease

5)
Cow’s milk is basically liquid meat. no species drinks the milk of another species. It’s completely unnatural. many people are lactose-intolerant. So the healthiest thing for your family is to ditch dairy

6)
Heart disease is all about inflammation. there’s inflammation inside the plaque. And in double-blind placebo RCTs, giving people anti-inflammatories lowers cardiovascular risk. And statins lower cardiovascular risk and they have a powerful anti-inflammatory effect. So as long as we keep our inflammation low enough we can avoid heart disease altogether

evidence mentioned is compelling that inflammation is a factor, but not that it’s the only factor. possible that lowering inflammation helps but we can still get heart disease due to other factors
