=== Disease Epidemic Rising (03:40) ===

[00:00:00]  The reason we're seeing the youth, so many young people, and you know I'm telling the truth.
[00:00:05]  Yes.
[00:00:05]  There's so many young people that are obese.
[00:00:07]  And I remember growing up, we hardly ever saw an obese young person now.
[00:00:12]  Ever.
[00:00:12]  I hardly ever saw one.
[00:00:14]  Today, they're everywhere.
[00:00:16]  It's because they're eating their parents' diet.
[00:00:19]  Their parents, they have inherited their parents' diet.
[00:00:22]  Bad choices.
[00:00:22]  And they're bad choices.
[00:00:23]  And it's those bad oils.
[00:00:25]  It's those low fat.
[00:00:28]  And all the wrong information that we thought was true, we have been eating and we've passed on that to our children.
[00:00:36]  And now we're letting it show up in this epidemic of obesity in young people.
[00:00:40]  Well, let me just explain because it goes back.
[00:00:43]  And I paint this picture in my book, The KetoZone, how all this started.
[00:00:47]  And you say, how did we start down this road?
[00:00:50]  It's such a bad road.
[00:00:51]  Back in the 60s, we didn't have these problems.
[00:00:53]  No obesity.
[00:00:54]  We didn't have near the heart disease, near the diabetes, near the obesity, nothing like that.
[00:00:58]  No, hardly any dementia.
[00:00:59]  It was rare.
[00:01:00]  What happened was in the 1950s, Dr. Ansel Keys, the father of cholesterol, was a pathologist from the University of Minnesota.
[00:01:08]  What he did is he came out with a theory.
[00:01:11]  He theorized that saturated fat caused heart disease.
[00:01:14]  Theorize.
[00:01:15]  And then he did a study, two major studies, called the Six Country Study and the Seven Country Studies.
[00:01:21]  These were huge landmark studies where he picked and chose the data.
[00:01:24]  And he literally manipulated the data so that he could prove with his data that saturated fats cause heart disease and saturated fats raised cholesterol level, which was a very bad thing.
[00:01:38]  This was passed.
[00:01:39]  It went through the dietary boards and everything for U.S. and all these other countries.
[00:01:45]  And so it was accepted.
[00:01:46]  Then the food industry took it on.
[00:01:48]  Big food took it on.
[00:01:49]  They developed low-fat, high-carb foods.
[00:01:53]  All that started.
[00:01:55]  And then the disease epidemic started.
[00:01:56]  Then big pharma got into it and big medicine got into it.
[00:02:00]  The healthcare industry.
[00:02:01]  The healthcare industry got into it.
[00:02:02]  And all of a sudden, they had a huge money racket because they had diseases increasing so much.
[00:02:08]  Their profits were increasing.
[00:02:09]  They had cancer increasing astronomically, heart disease increasing astronomically, diabetes astronomically.
[00:02:16]  And this is how hospitals make money, guys.
[00:02:18]  Hospitals make money with a big heart center doing lots of stints, bypass surgery, with big cancer centers doing lots of chemo, with big diabetic centers doing lots of dialysis and things like that.
[00:02:31]  That's big money.
[00:02:32]  And then big pharma got into the picture.
[00:02:34]  You see how it all came together?
[00:02:35]  Big pharma came in with drugs like statin drugs.
[00:02:39]  Anyone whose cholesterol is over 200, they get a statin drug, which causes all kinds of problems.
[00:02:44]  And then diabetic medication, high blood pressure medication, all these meds fed big pharma.
[00:02:50]  Big pharma makes over $35 billion a year just on statin.
[00:02:53]  It's because there's no money in prevention.
[00:02:55]  But what has happened?
[00:02:56]  What has happened?
[00:02:57]  Disease has become epidemic, unlike 50, 60 years ago when we were on the high-fat diet.
[00:03:05]  And farmers would be out there eating their eggs and their butter and everything else.
[00:03:10]  No heart disease.
[00:03:11]  They lived in their 80s and 90s.
[00:03:12]  No dementia, no diabetes.
[00:03:14]  But then they switched to this low-fat, high-carb, and all of a sudden, disease epidemics going like crazy.
[00:03:20]  So we're getting back to the root of the problem.
[00:03:24]  We're getting back to carbage is the problem.

=== Saturated Fats Explained (00:22) ===

[00:03:27]  The answer is healthy fats.
[00:03:29]  And that's what I'm trying to teach people.
[00:03:31]  And saturated fats are actually a good fat.
[00:03:34]  They've had over 72 major studies that have shown that saturated fats do not...
[00:03:40]  Saturated fats are butter, cream, cheese, saturated fats and animal meats and things like that.
