The video explores the dietary evolution of individuals initially adhering to the carnivore diet, including prominent figure Paul Saladino, who abandoned the strict carnivore regimen after identifying persistent negative health effects such as hormonal imbalances and electrolyte depletion. Transitioning to an "animal-based diet," these individuals incorporate fruits, honey, and other carbohydrates, citing personal health improvements. However, discrepancies in their logic are noted, particularly the inconsistent application of criticisms toward plant vs. meat chemicals and their selective use of epidemiological data. The video criticizes the promotion of diets and supplements based on personal profit rather than scientific backing and emphasizes the importance of evidence-based approaches in dietary recommendations. The speaker concludes by advocating for rigorous scientific validation over anecdotal experiences.

In this part of the video, the host introduces the new “human randomized control trials” shirts available in their store and mentions an interview with Paul Saladino by Derek from “More Plates More Dates,” where Paul reveals that he is no longer following the carnivore diet. Paul shares his journey, explaining that after two years of a strict carnivore diet, he experienced persistent negative symptoms, including testosterone issues, sleep disturbances, palpitations, and muscle problems. He realized that long-term ketosis might not be beneficial as it leads to significant electrolyte depletion. Paul concluded that while electrolytes are necessary, the absence of insulin signaling in ketosis hinders the body’s ability to retain them, prompting him to reintroduce honey and fruit into his diet.

In this segment, the speaker discusses their diet evolution over the past three years, focusing on the inclusion of fruit, honey, maple syrup, and raw milk as primary carbohydrate sources. They mention that animal studies show rats gain more weight on high fructose corn syrup than on sucrose, leading to queries about its impact on humans. The speaker shares personal health improvements such as increased testosterone, better thyroid hormone levels, and improved cholesterol readings. They advocate for an “animal-based diet,” which prioritizes animal products and excludes grains, beans, seeds, nuts, and leafy greens. The diet includes organs, grass-fed meat, butter, tallow, and raw milk while utilizing fruit and honey for carbohydrates. The speaker explains that ripe fruits have fewer defense chemicals, making them less toxic and better for consumption.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the inconsistency in how defense chemicals in plants and meat are treated, particularly in the context of Paul’s arguments. The speaker highlights that Paul criticizes broccoli for its isocyanates, claiming they disrupt thyroid function, yet human trials show no negative effects on thyroid or metabolism from broccoli. Conversely, meat contains nu5 GC, which can produce antibodies against the thyroid, but this is overlooked by Paul. The speaker calls this an asymmetric application of logic and emphasizes the importance of applying the same critical approach to both plant and meat chemicals. Additionally, the segment addresses Paul’s contradictory stance on epidemiology: he dismisses it when it links meat to cancer, yet cites it when it supports his views. The speaker acknowledges Paul’s shift away from the carnivore diet as commendable but questions the timing and motives behind the change after advocating it in his book, “The Carnivore Code.”

In this part of the video, the speaker criticizes another individual for publishing a book and promoting a supplement line despite experiencing negative symptoms. The speaker highlights the difference in approach, emphasizing that their own updates and changes in opinions are always reflected in their content and backed by evidence. The speaker provides an example of discontinuing a BCA product due to lack of supportive data. They accuse the other individual of being disingenuous and suggest that he is biased towards personal experiences and profit. The speaker credits the individual for eventually admitting the issue but criticizes the timing and lack of rigorous evidence behind his claims.
00:12:00
In this part of the video, the speaker acknowledges that science may not have all the answers but emphasizes the importance of scientific studies. They question how personal experience can outweigh clear scientific evidence. The speaker also credits the individual for changing their mind but remains critical of their inconsistent logic. The segment concludes with the speaker signing off and promising another video next week.
