Low-Fat Foods Are Making You Fatter - Adam Ruins Everything

transmorpher says...

How ironic that the part where they talk about misrepresenting studies that they reference Gary Taubes, who's made a living misrepresenting science.

It's a common thing to compare fat vs sugar to make carbs look bad. But when you actually eat proper carbs (not sugar) then carbs win every time.

These people who ate 80% carbs, and only 10% fat, and effortlessly lose weight without calorie restriction or exercise: https://www.drmcdougall.com/health/education/health-science/stars/stars-written/

Also the fat you eat really is the fat you wear. They can radioactively mark it and find it again in your body.

Despite sugar consumption going down, diabetes and heart-disease is rising too.

Regardless of any study. Try eating 80/10/10 for a few weeks, and you'll see the results for yourself. Stuff your face with this food https://www.forksoverknives.com/recipes/?recipe_type=wraps-and-burgers

There's no portion or calorie restriction. Eat yourself thin.

Edit: And yes fat does definitely contribute to weight gain and heart-disease, take it from the only cardiologist to ever reverse heart-disease https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_o4YBQPKtQ&feature=youtu.be&t=6

Hey! Stupid Sexist Questions are asked of Male Athletes too!

ChaosEngine says...

while I wholeheartedly agree with 99% of this...

"how has your weight gain affected your mobility?" is a perfectly reasonable question to ask an athlete (regardless of gender) IMO. It's directly relevant to the topic at hand.

Other than that... basically what @eric3579 said.

BTS:Sick Pigs from GMO Foods | Interview with Jeffery Smith

arekin says...

Per the study:
"60 of non-GM pigs had mild or moderate inflammation compared with 41 GM pigs, and only 4 non-GM pig stomachs were graded “nil,” while the GM pigs tallied up 8." And "The researchers found few statistically significant differences between the two groups after comparing them based on nearly 20 different parameters, including weight gain, stomach ulcers and kidney abnormalities. The GM-fed pigs did, however, show significantly higher rates of “severe” stomach inflammation, as well as an average of 25 percent heavier uteri in relation to body weight."

Also: "According to the study’s authors, the GM corn and soy used in the study were considered compositionally and substantially equivalent to the non-GM varieties by government agencies. But the lack of a controlled feed-growing environment potentially calls the results into question, according to Kent Bradford, Ph.D., director of the Seed Biotechnology Center at the University of California, Davis."

Lastly, the protection bill was actually an anti-litigation bill to prevent injunctions from tying up seed sales in court as has happened before.

Remember Kids, its only propaganda if the other guys do it, if we do it, its the truth!

Lol this is pritty funny ,
I do however think its strange how culturally its ok to laff and beliitel fat people but it would be socially unacceptable to mock sum one that is anorexic.
Im pritty sure most people would rather not be fat/obise ( to the exstent that its crippling) and its due to phisoligy , depresoin , lack of education or other factors largely outside of the individuals control as to why they end up super fat.


I'm not referring to slightly overweight people here, disclaimer;

I'm sorry but i don't believe that. I'm fairly sure only a very small amount can blame physiology. Depression perhaps, but i'd say from my experience only a small fraction of depressed people turn to COPIOUS (and let's face it, that's what it would require) eating to help them out.

Lack of education i don't believe whatsoever - no one is gonna turn round and go "Hang on, what? Eating 3 buckets of KFC a day makes you fat? WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME! I'VE WASTED MY LIFE!" Haven't humans known about food (too much = fat, too little = starvation) almost as a basic instinct but certainly as a learned property of that thing we crave from birth? Could a human REALLY go for a day without reading, hearing or otherwise gleaning some knowledge of calories or weight gain in the current world?

Maybe i'm wrong, i find it as hard as anyone to lose weight but i just make a plan and stick to that plan. And the people who sit there (other than medical problems) i just think - not enough willpower. Just get up and do it.

@MaxWilder - i've had to lose weight in the past (due to depression, no less, but only because the tablets caused me to retain weight), and it's simple maths - if you burn more calories than you take in, you use up some of the energy that your body has stored (energy has to come from somewhere). Willpower is all you need, and exercise/diet becomes easier the longer you keep it up, it becomes habit. As for eating healthily - surely not? I can get food which would last me for 3 or 4 days of decent eating for the same price that it would cost me to get a KFC meal. And if we're talking a KFC meal suitable for someone weighing 350 pounds then i could feed myself for over a week i think. I don't think it's that hard unless you are one of the very few people who have something medically wrong with them.

Or am i wrong and "lack of willpower" is now seen as something that you can't help? Because i've always seen lack of willpower as lazyness. I feel almost like it's getting too easy to blame a label. I would get up and exercise but i've got <x>. Maybe you have willpower but it's not my fault, i have <y>. Am i a bastard for thinking that, no, i feel the same way, i don't want to move - humans like electrons want to be in their lowest energy state. But i just god damn do it anyway.

High Fructose Corn Syrup is perfectly healthy

The "Your body can't tell the difference" ad for corn sugar reminds me of the "I'm not a witch" ad...
Why bother bringing it up if there is no merit, etc...
Plus its been proven HFCS "corn sugar" is bad for you, and is just used because its a cheap thickening agent which is why you find it in products that don't even need it.
It's about money over your health, but "your body can't tell the difference".

In contrast, every fructose molecule in sucrose that comes from cane sugar or beet sugar is bound to a corresponding glucose molecule and must go through an extra metabolic step before it can be utilized."

A Princeton University research team has demonstrated that all sweeteners are not equal when it comes to weight gain: Rats with access to high-fructose corn syrup gained significantly more weight than those with access to table sugar, even when their overall caloric intake was the same.
In addition to causing significant weight gain in lab animals, long-term consumption of high-fructose corn syrup also led to abnormal increases in body fat, especially in the abdomen, and a rise in circulating blood fats called triglycerides. The researchers say the work sheds light on the factors contributing to obesity trends in the United States."

There is not a scientific consensus about whether HFCS is worse than cane sugar. That Priceton paper is making big waves, but there are contrary viewpoints.

Reddit's AskScience forum had this discussion, which involves several relevant scientists:

Michael Douglas annouces he has cancer on David Letterman

gwiz665 says...

Do note that this was broadcast in august 2010, so he's been dealing with it for a while.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Douglas#Personal_life

It was announced on August 16, 2010, that Douglas was suffering from throat cancer and will undergo chemotherapy and radiation treatment.[23] On August 31, 2010 Douglas appeared on Late Show with David Letterman[24] and confirmed that the cancer was at an advanced stage IV.[25] In November 2010, Douglas was put on a special weight gain diet by his doctors due to the excessive weight loss leaving him weak.[26] On January 11, 2011, he said in an interview that his tumor has gone. He also admitted that the illness and aggressive treatment had caused him to lose 32 lbs in weight.[27] He will have to have monthly screenings because there is a very high chance that the cancer could return over the course of the next two to three years.[28] Although Douglas has described the cancer as throat cancer, many doctors believe he was actually diagnosed with oropharyngeal cancer.[29]

Exploded bicep from Anabolica abuse (Explicit and gross)

Porksandwich says...

That is hard to look at, gave me chills just thinking about that happening. And it's hard to tell what you're seeing, I mean by the tattoos you can see his skin is torn apart..but the meat inside doesn't look like it's entirely together either, like the muscles themselves tore apart with the skin.

And.....I find it hard to believe that anyone could cause muscle to build fast enough for that to happen without drugs..because your skin stretches to fit given time. Otherwise all pregnant women would have children just erupting forth from their stomachs, and all overweight people would be torn to shreds. Rupturing on overweight people would occur when the stress on their body causes internals to burst or fail in someway, but their skin wouldn't just erupt like that...weight gain is pretty slow and normally so is muscle gain.

And as for looks......kinda subjective. A lot of body builders who win competitions today don't look human in skin tone or build, but if they want to win.....well the judge's apparently want the other worldly look. And all the shapes and sizes of women, just because you don't like it doesn't mean they don't or other people don't. Personally, Im not a fan of tattoos, couple spread out is OK when you get into facial tats, sleeves, whole body stuff...a lot of it looks like total chaos but some of it is pretty neat and well planned. There aren't a whole lot of obese people who intentionally and actively try to be obese, but body builders...tattooed people, etc...are trying.

Guy Paints The Mona Lisa With Hamburger Grease

Ricky Gervais - On Fat People

Zonbie says...

>> ^Doc_M:
Spoco, you say that obesity is a "new thing" but what you haven't seen is that food hasn't always been as available as it is now. People who had serious diseases did not show symptoms until recently simply due to the fact that they did not have access to the food.... Come on. It's not that hard to grasp. There are TONS of genetic diseases that people assume are just bad values or bad behavior. We need to get beyond that bull shit. I am a geneticist. I'm sick and tired of people blaming behavior on laziness. There IS a significant genetic component of most diseases. You might not "catch" them because they are not f-ing viruses. They are genetic. Part of your f-ing genes. You don't "catch" obesity, but that doesn't mean you don't have a genetic tendency to become obese. And I know what the F I'm talking about.


My understanding has always been that there are disorders that can cause excessive weight gain - and not just because of over eating (or even eating)

Reduced exercise or activity level
Quitting smoking - or other type of tobacco withdrawal
Slowing of metabolism with aging
Reaction to prior dieting
Stress or Comforting Eating (caused by anxiety or depression)
Heart failure
Kidney failure
Brain tumor
Brain trauma
Down's syndrome
Dercum's disease
Thyrotoxicosis
Ovarian cyst
Polycystic ovarian syndrome

to name but a few - I enjoy Rickys routine - but he is obviously using comedy more than fact

Although when you see someone is a cart shopping because "they don't like walking" it does remove the sympathy somewhat.

All said and done, blaming overweight people even when thy eat properly and exercise is obviously not right, and yet that does happen.

Documentary on "fat burlesque"

schmawy says...

It's interesting that over time, the relationship between attractiveness, weight, and economics has inverted. It used to be that being portly indicated affluence and health. The cherubic women and big rosy bums of rococo paintings come to mind.

Today, however I've found that the less expensive the food, the higher it is in the kinds of fats and carbs and sugars that tend to cause weight gain. So, the less affluent often get fat. Of course it's not just lifestyle, some people are genetically predisposed to weight gain, regardless of what they eat. Still, it's damn easy to get fat with todays foods.

I think you should vote for this, turkey.

George Carlin: It's Make Believe!!!

E_Nygma says...

the most common medication associated with a moon face is cortisol, a steroid, which carlin would have really no reason to take for a heart problem. it is the result of fat redistribution, not water retention. he is most likely on blood thinners or diuretics to prevent clots and decrease the load on the heart (which would actually serve to increase water loss), neither of which should cause weight gain. i'm gonna go with "he's getting old" and his metabolism is slowing, or the embed video is distorted

>> ^Trancecoach:
This is from Saturday, March 1, 2008. & No, he hasn't gained any weight. He's on heart medication (7 or so heart attacks'll require that) which causes a "moon-face" (retaining water). And thank goodness the man is still with us. He is an amazing voice of reason in these days of turmoil. Upvote for the greatest living philosopher of our age!
