Happy birthday to Dr. Walter Willet, and thanks for having him on, such a knowledgeable man. Edit: Oh, just found out it's also Simon's birthday, so happy birthday to both of you!
Dr. Willet is a true font of invaluable nutritional insights. The long-term nurses' eating studies have been invaluable. I most admire him for emphasizing that the world needs to aim for a low impact on the climate crisis when making food choices. I agree that keeping dairy products use down and red meat use as low as possible will benefit our climate the most. He really makes me pause when he says that driving down cholesterol too low may create a greater risk for hemorrhagic stroke, as in Japan!? I will need to look into this, as I avoid all meat, dairy, and eggs to keep away from saturated fats. If too little cholesterol may increase bleeding stroke risk, I may have to check into this. Dietary issues are indeed complex!
Dr Willett. Possibly the most conflicted expert in the field of nutrition. Most of his βevidenceβ is based on epidemiological surveys which are notoriously wrong, once actually studied in a randomized controlled scientific study. He is clearly biased and I would not trust any published works coming from this man.
This was my favourite!
Excellent interview
What about athletes, how much does this apply, not like a soccer player (futbol) but sprinter or American football player?
Outstanding and informative interview with Dr Willett. Thank you so much!
Surprised that he recommended Canola & Soybean oil as they are highly processed, full of PUFAS = inflammatory, and calorie dense = fattening π΅
I disagree. Fructose metabolism from a carbohydrate heavy diet is America's #1 cause of metabolic disorder and fatty liver. Add in a diet high in Omega 6 and low in omega 3 and you've got the American diet.
American's are better off going for an ancestral diet, heavy in meat with some seasonal vegetable/fruit. Some dairy ok (eliminate sugar, processed carbohydrate and vegetable oils)
How weird that he thinks dairy products are fine.
@1:16:25 besides the question about fats, a question that was not asked about dairy is about calcium and protein (and added vitamin D), as well as other micro-nutrients. (vegetarians can consume dairy if desired.) fermented dairy like yogurt and some cheeses can aid in digestion from probiotics.
Thank you for this conversion and for introducing me to this doctor!
you got the curve wrong Simon. As plant oil consumption has risen, driven by profits, rates of disease and poor health have skyrocketed. How can you think that heart health has improved? My god so blinded!
WTF are you kidding!!! Advising to eat soya bean oil, canola oil and mainly carbs? What a joke!
He lost me at the start with the woke βlimit red meat and eat lots of carbs like whole grains, and eat soy and canola oil, (!) and limit meat to 1 searing a week.β No thank you! Grass fed beef, wild caught meat and butter are excellent sources of healthy fat plus far superior protein than beans and rice.
Hi Friends,
Curious to know β which part of our recent conversation did you find the most engaging? Also, if there are any other questions you have in mind about this topic, just leave them below. I'll ensure they're included in our next chat.
Real quality content π
Amazing content here. Itβs really interesting to think about the evolution of the field. Ancel Keys was limited by the tools of his time and drew broad conclusions based on relatively smaller (large for his time) studies and whole country data. Walter Willett did these incredible, large cohort studies over time to get much better data about how good choices affect health consequences. The next generation will hopefully be able to make huge progress on personalized nutrition as we learn that the right nutrition approach very likely varies based on an individual personβs biology.
I made it in as far as his recommendation to eat canola oil. Full stop.
I prefer Dr. Ray Peat's stuff. You should interview Dr. Saladino.
