What the government WON'T tell you about the number ONE source of health problems



If you’ve ventured into the corners of the health space on social media, it’s likely you’ve run into double board certified M.D. and advocate for an animal-based diet, Paul Saladino.

Saladino became disillusioned with traditional medicine’s lack of focus on nutrition when he noticed that it’s blatantly ignored when addressing the skyrocketing health issues in American citizens.

“I think that ultra-processed foods are the main problem for humans, but if you ask me as a physician, or any of my colleagues, we’re never taught about nutrition,” Saladino tells Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report.”

The attitude the government has taken toward the idea that ultra-processed foods might be making people sick has set Saladino’s “alarm bells off” and made him believe there’s something “going on that’s not copasetic.”

One of the major points of contention Saladino has with Americans' ultra-processed diets are the oils contained in much of our food or the oil we use to cook otherwise healthy food with.

“Think about the oils you’re cooking with,” Saladino tells Rubin. “There are multiple different types of cooking oils, and I think seed oils are probably the worst.”

These oils include corn, canola, sunflower, safflower, and soybean oil, which “we were sometimes told were healthy when we were children, and are often still told are healthy by the American Heart Association.”

Those oils do not occur naturally; rather, they are ultra processed themselves.

“What you’re getting in the grocery store, it looks like this clear oil, but it’s been deodorized. I mean, if it hadn’t been deodorized, you would smell it. And that smells horrible. These oils are fragile, they’re not meant to be crushed and extracted out of seeds,” Saladino explains.

Olive oil, coconut oil, grass fed butter, and tallow are “much better,” because they’re fruit oils, which are not made from seeds. For example, when you make olive oil, you actually press the olive to extract the oil.

“The pervasiveness of seed oils, I think, is a very likely driving factor of our chronic disease epidemic in the United States,” Saladino says.

The chronic disease epidemic doesn’t just include diseases like cancer but mental issues as well.

“Let’s talk about brain health a little bit, which is actually probably the most political thing we can talk about because everybody seems to have a theory or two on Joe Biden at the moment,” Rubin suggests, adding, “There’s clearly an epidemic of either dementia, or ultimately Alzheimer's or Parkinson's.”

“I think there’s a lot of evidence that this is related to the quality of our lifestyle and diet,” Saladino explains. “I’ll tell you that neuro inflammation, which is inflammation in the brain, is affected by inflammation in the body. Absolutely, unquestionably.”

“And how do we get inflammation in the body? Well, it starts in the gut.”

Bear Grylls ditches vegan diet, explains why he now embraces carnivore lifestyle: 'The biggest game-changer'



Survivalist Bear Grylls admitted in a new interview that he is "embarrassed" that he once followed a vegan lifestyle, revealing he now does the complete opposite.

In a new interview, Grylls explained is mea culpa for once advocating for veganism.

"I was vegan quite a few years ago — in fact, I wrote a vegan cookbook — and I feel a bit embarrassed because I really promoted that," he said. "I thought that was good for the environment and I thought it was good for my health. And through time and experience and knowledge and study, I realised I was wrong on both counts."

Now, Grylls embraces a "counterculture way of living" — he mostly eats red meat, organs, raw dairy, honey, and fruit — what he describes as "natural food" that is consistent with what humanity's ancestors ate.

"Out of all the different things I do for my health, I think that’s probably been the biggest game-changer, in the sense of improving my vitality, wellbeing, strength, skin and gut," he explained. "It's just been getting away from the processed stuff and making the predominant thing in my diet red meat and liver and the natural stuff — fruit, honey, that sort of thing. It’s just about finding a more ancestral way of living."

What is carnivore?

The carnivore diet has become an internet craze over the last few years — and for good reason.

Modern Western society has been overwhelmed with metabolic diseases, like Type 2 diabetes and heart disease, and obesity. People who adhere to a carnivore diet — either strictly meat and saturated fat, or modified with raw dairy, raw honey, and fruit — have discovered they not only drop unwanted fat but they often describe they've never felt better.

The theory is that a carbohydrate-heavy diet, plants (i.e. vegetables), and the consumption of seed oils — those the American Heart Association claim are "healthy cooking oils" — produce chronic inflammation, gut trouble, and negatively impact hormones.

In 2021, an Oxford nutrition journal published the results of a study about the carnivore diet showing, for example, that nearly every participant who had Type 2 diabetes put their disease into remission through a carnivore lifestyle. Nearly every participant who had a chronic or metabolic disease experienced resolution or an improvement in their condition, the study found, while participants lost an average of 20 pounds.
