Dr. DOM for making you content available, I wish more people wou,would, understand all this
Fantastic to hear that Nina got a PhD!! Dr Nina…. Congratulations!
the studies showing over age 40 that higher LDL is associated with longer life – and lower LDL with a risk of sooner death – either take into account that LDL plummets with cancer (i.e. data removed/participant removed if cancer – or cancer patients not allowed in study) – or – some were investigated, with cancer patients removed – recalc'd – and still no meaningful change.
If you haven't bothered to investigate Dr. Malcolm Kendrick "The Clot Thickens" then you really shouldn't be talking about LDL and heart attacks.
Where is the Metabolomics Plus Kit? It's not listed on their website.
Dear Nina, I am so happy that all your research has been acknowledged. I have learned so much from you. Thank you for all your hard work!
Oh Nina! See what you do?!? I get my que lined up and scheduled, then here you come! Always an absolute delight 💕
Fantastic news re the PhD. Really helps in the "academic creds" game. It's a pity that a bit of paper weighs so much more than impeccable reasoning, but there you go.
Also the fact that it's by publication is a ringing endorsement of work that has been unfairly attacked by idiots. So, congratulations Nina! Job well done, now duly recognised. 👍
Stick that iPhD n your pipe and smoke it, idiotic detractors!😏
Anything sweet will trigger me. So glad to have identified that. Much more peaceful 😀
I've never heard so many blatant falsehoods. This is diabolical misinformation, no wonder the zoonotic pandemics are getting worse!!! SMH
NIna shares the same view as dr. Chris Knobbe
Nina needs a Nobel prize for services to humanity ❤
saturated fat = our evoltionary fat = what we evolved eating… the idea that it should be dangerous for us, its a claim that would go against nature.. its of no surprise the PG-funded clowns havent been able to prove it yet.
WHO – hmmmm! Wonder where they get their money?
We know that mainstream nutrition writers are terrified of saying anything positive about saturated fats….
HDL lost clinical importance not because there’s no profitable way to raise it, but because raising it pharmacologically failed repeatedly to improve outcomes. Multiple products have successfully raised HDL, but outcomes were unchanged or even worsened.
Contrast this with LDL lowering which consistently yields improved outcomes. Regardless of its predictive power in observational studies, lowering it does reduce CV events. That’s why it’s the center of attention.
Appealing to corporate conspiracy is unnecessary and inaccurate. The science is pretty clear.
Statins are a total scam. Just a 'cash cow' for the pharma industry. The notion that you're going to strip away such a vital molecule from the body and not suffer serious health consequences is ludicrous.
Such a terrible marker to stake an entire medical discipline and dogma on! How about we campaign to switch to CAC!
Protip: You should get a used Sony Alpha camera with an approx. 50mm lense (zoom or not) for 5-600 dollars and watch a tutorial about how you set it up for Youtube. 99% of Youtubers with TV/broadcast quality video use Sony Alpha cameras. To learn about the different Alpha models, there are plenty of videos about which to pick on Youtube. The cheapest one is, for livestreaming, where you are in a controlled setting in regard to lighting, positioning and focus, as good as the most expensive one. BH Photo is the most reliable source for new and used professional cameras in the US, they got all their used stuff on their website.
Its easy to understand, its called ROI 😢 . ILL SAY IT BECAUSE YOU CANT $$$$$$$$$$❤😢 ! Job securiry !
Learn to Live in your TRUTH ❤.
She is great and HONEST ❤! Thank you Dom. ❤❤❤❤.Eyes mind heart and soul wide open. NO FEAR.
The data from any centralized MATRIX Rockefeller Lab will NEVER be truthful $$$$. If people only knew the manipulation of LAB TESTING $$$ 😢 Sad . Eyes mind heart and soul wide open. NO FEAR. Don't die, we are coming, see you in 2500.
Nina has no education to talk about nutritional science
Eyes mind heart and soul wide open. NO FEAR ❤!
If someone would tell me this guy is Dr Chaffee’s brother, I’d easily believe it.
Best treatment for atherosclerosis: Vitamin C
Why do only coronary arteries clog with cholesterol and not veins or small capillaries?
If "high cholesterol" is the cause of clogging your arteries, why doesn't it clog the arteries in your finger, your nose, and the smallest capillaries in your toe?
Scurvy = No vitamin C in your diet.
Symptom: Your blood vessels break and you bleed to death. Think of the sailor of the past.
Scurvy of the heart = Just enough vitamin C from food.
Symptom: Arteries around the heart are not strong enough to resist high blood pressure. Damage is repaired with cholesterol LP(a) to prevent worse. After years of repair, your arteries become clogged.
A guinea pig can also not synthesize vitamin C by themself, just like humans, and needs supplementing 50 mg vitamin C every day and weighs only 1 kilo.
1 orange = 50 mg vitamin C.
Do you really think that 75 mg vitamin C for YOU is enough? What is your weight?
Enough vitamin C supplement of at least 3000 mg. per day gives strong and flexible arteries. Cholesterol is not needed as a repair agent. Cholesterol in your coronary arteries is broken down and burned in your liver.

~44:30 Re: aldehydes… Nina, what you are thinking of is what is called a free radical cascade. This is what causes the ploymerization of chemicals that contain double bonds and causes PUFAs to thicken and form coagulated films like paint. It is the free radicals that have such short lifetimes that they can't be measured.
~32:00 The saturated fat clinical data was ignored because Ancel Keys insisted that saturated fat was a risk factor for CVD and bullied everyone else into submission. He had so much political influence in the medical community that large remnants of his junk science persist and corrupt medical practice to this day.
~30:15 Nina, LDL is not part of the risk calculator because LDL is a calculated number based on TC, Trig, and HDL using a formula established in the 1950s and later slightly revised. It is a junk number, especially for people who deviate from the USDA SAD. LDL is never measured directly in any of the current clinical lipid panels.

I can't remember where I heard it, but supposedly the seed oils are less satiating. Combined with the sugar/salt in processed foods makes you more likely to eat them without feeling the need to stop.
Also, in nature fat comes packaged with protein not carbs.
A pleasure to.listen to Dr Nina.
When insulin levels are low, just how much of modern disease is minimized?
I wish this entire conversation was insulin level based! How was insulin in every question mentioned?
About addiction, it usualy takes time to get in and time to get out.
Getting in is fun getting out hurts.
So what about the future?
Seems that many people are blind to a clear vision of the future .
Is this is a major cause of illness?
Curing obesity is much bigger than wedding photos and before and after picks.
Imagine all the active effortless lifelong fun activities and relationships……as opposed to becoming trapped in a body and mind that no longer functions properly.
We need to continualy exercise our imagination to stimulate our enthusiasm for what we really want
Nina is the woman who I found on YouTube 3 years ago. She did her homework, told the truth and was attacked by government and big food corporations. Since I found Nina at age 59 I lost 52 pounds and got off 7 daily medications, 4 of which were expensive prescriptions. I now find myself 62 and in great health and best of all, the knowledge of what to and not to be in my diet. If you read this Nina, thank you for saving my life.
Good stuff guys, the one thing I would mention about processed foods is that industrial supplementation of components,I.e.American Cheese. . . And the sterile nature of storage requirements (dead food) the microbiology compromise from fresh foods. . . I didn't know Oxidation was/is a exponential cascading chemical reaction is alarming. Congratulations to Nina on her well deserved PhD.
I am almost finished reading her book and it has validated so much of what I have already learned and experienced in my past 9 months as a carnivore dieter. I will be subscribing to her substack. Thank you for this superb interview.
I'd add two related points. Seed oils are not only oxidative and inflammatory but also mutagenic and high deuterium. The mutagenic part is discussed by Catherine Shanahan. And the high deuterium part is discussed by various experts, such as Laszlo Boros. The cumulative effect of all of these is surely greater than any of them alone.
As for the oxidative component specifically, we should clarify that there are both harmful ROS (reactive oxygen species) and beneficial ROS, the latter needed for physiological signalling. Plant-sourced antioxidants eliminate all ROS with no discernment. But endogenous antioxidants (glutathione, SOD, molecular hydrogen, etc) are highly selective.
This was demonstrated in a study where smokers supplemented antioxidants had worse health and mortality outcomes than those who weren't supplemented. This is the problem with a plant-based diet in trying to increase such things as antioxidants. A low-carb, fatty animal-based diet (e.g., keto) is low deuterium and produces fewer harmful ROS in the first place.
Congratulations to Dr. Teicholz!
Love Nina! Ethics of Meat eating WTF? the world has gone mad lol
