What the Health Page #3

cells of the human body,

and you find that they're

building up tiny particles of fat

that's causing

insulin resistance.

What that means is, the sugar

that is naturally from the foods

that you're eating can't get

into the cells where it belongs.

It builds up in the blood,

and that's diabetes.

[Kip] I have never heard that meat was

associated with causing diabetes.

We had always been told that

sugar or obesity caused it.

Renowned weight loss

bariatric surgeon

Dr. Garth Davis,

though, agreed.

Everyone thinks that you get

diabetic because of carbs.

They did a huge study in that

EPIC study 500,000 people,

carbs consumption was inversely

related with diabetes.

In other words, the more carbs someone

ate, the less diabetes they had.

But, meat was

strongly correlated.

Get that aha moment. The starch

is, the carbs are good for you.

They're not bad for you.

This idea that carbs make you

fat is utterly ridiculous.

Carbs cannot make you fat

in and of themselves.

We have storage

in our muscles

and in our liver for

carbs called glycogen.

So, when we eat carbs, we

either store it or we burn it.

Now eat fat, that goes

straight to your fat.

Your body can't turn

those carbs into fat

unless you're really

overdoing the calories.

And obesity,

it's a death sentence.

You're at much higher

risk of getting cancer,

you're almost certainly

gonna get diabetes.

No one wants the fat shame,

and we all want everybody to be

comfortable with our bodies,

but, this movement to be

comfortable with our bodies

has made us comfortable

with being sick.

And that's a huge problem.

I go into the hospital

and I look around me,

people on dialysis,

all these sick people.

And just about every disease in there

is because of what people are eating.

Here's the thing.

If I eat a sugary cookie,

the sugar lures you in

like the Trojan horse,

but waiting inside that cookie is a

huge load of butter or, shortening.

And that's what

fattens you up.

And that's the part that

leads to the diabetes,

it's the fatty foods,

not really so much the sugar.

[Davis] It's not that sugar's good for you.

There's no nutrients in it.

It's excess calories.

But, when you eat sugar, you don't

get inflammation right away.

When you eat sugar, you're not getting

plaques forming in your vessels.

When you're eating sugar,

your body's gonna store most of it

as glycogen or burn it as calories.

And so this focus on sugar has taken

all the focus off meat, dairy,

eggs, pork, turkey, chicken.

People need to understand.

If they're child gets diabetes,

you've just taken 19

years off their lifespan.

We're talking life and death.

[Kip] I realized
