Dr. Eric Berg gets fact-checked by MD PhD doctor 282,745 viewsFeb 28, 2022 Nutrition Made Simple! 101K subscribers Do Dr. Eric Berg's ideas on cholesterol, diet and health match the science? Dr. Eric Berg goes over his wife's cholesterol values. Here's a look at Dr. Eric Berg's views on cholesterol and heart disease. We got a ton requests from you to comment on dr. eric berg going over his wife’s blood work. Total cholesterol=not the best marker, but it associates with cardiovascular disease, with heart disease. 2018 American Heart Association Guidelines: “optimal total cholesterol=about 150. populations with cholesterol in this range manifest low rates of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease" scientific advisory on dietary cholesterol: ‘no significant association with cardiovascular disease risk’. this is the science advisory on dietary cholesterol dietary cholesterol= cholesterol in your food. Serum cholesterol=level in the blood, in our blood work. He’s talking about serum cholesterol, total cholesterol= total cholesterol in your blood. but the link is on dietary cholesterol total cholesterol associates with cardiovascular disease risk but there are better markers. LDL-cholesterol is better. nonHDL-cholesterol is even better. apoB is the best. Dietary cholesterol associates with cardiovascular disease in some studies, not others Lipids travel in lipoproteins. cardiovascular disease (CVD) is about lipoproteins, but most public discourse focuses on lipids, the cholesterol, good/bad cholesterol, but its high lipoproteins that raise risk lipoproteins=vehicle, cholesterol=passenger. apob=best metric. apoB measures vehicles. lipids, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol etc measure passengers sdLDL = harmful, large LDL = fine? high cholesterol ok as long as particles are large?? if 2 populations have same cholesterol, those with smaller particles tend to have higher risk. but for the same cholesterol People with smaller lipoproteins have more of them Particle size could be the cause of risk or an innocent bystander at a given level of LDL cholesterol, individuals with small LDL particles have higher risk. but at same LDL-cholesterol, the ones with smaller particles also have more particles it is the number of LDL particles, not LDL size or the amount of cholesterol, that is the principal determinant of heart disease risk association of LDL size with risk loses significance when adjusted for particle number, Apo B apob measures particle number. particle size correlates with risk but after you remove apob, or particle number from the equation, particle size no longer predicts risk 1) statins, lower risk yet reduce large LDL 2) patients with familial hypercholesterolemia have mainly large LDLs, and are at high risk, indicating large LDLs are not benign All ApoB lipoproteins under 70 nm in diameter, including VLDL remnants and LDLs, flux across endothelial barrier all ApoB-containing lipoproteins, including VLDLs and their remnants as well as LDLs, have approximately the same effect on risk of cardiovascular disease per particle the decrease in risk per VLDL decrease was the same as the decrease in risk per LDL decrease. Thus VLDL and LDL pose equal cardiovascular risk LDL subclass measurement does not add independent info to LDL concentration (number of particles, apoB) along with standard risk factors (diabetes, smoking, BP, family history) don’t know your apoB? LDL-c and HDL-c are rough estimates but they can be off. when in doubt get ur apoB ‘sdLDL is a marker of inflammation’. sdLDLs are markers diabetes, IR, obesity. they associate well with heart disease because they’re a marker for many issues Replacing refined carbs (table sugar, candy, white bread, cookies, pizza etc) with unrefined carbohydrate from whole grains or unsaturated fats associated with lower CV risk Connect with me: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrGilCarvalho/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/NutritionMadeS3 Animations: Even Topland @toplandmedia References: Dr. Berg's original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ipbk...

With that being said, I appreciate this video. Always good to be fact checked by experts, I think I might subscribe 12 zxctgb zxctgb 4 months ago Would love to see more of these please. I'd been tempted by much of Eric Berg's advice (his clear concise layout and big claims to improve health with nutrients seem appealing at a glance), but want to ensure I follow accurate advice. There's so much contradictory information on nutrition online, so this open discourse on YouTube is very useful 104 Nutrition Made Simple! Chuck Luther Chuck Luther 3 months ago Great explanation sir! I had my ApoB tested after watching your videos. I have familial cholesterol and I am on statins. My ApoB results were very good. It made me feel better and I continue to eat a plant based diet and exercise and keep my weight normal. Thanks for your great videos! 29 Nutrition Made Simple! Sherif Nabil Sherif Nabil 4 months ago Thank you for making this video. I remember asking you a question about it a while back and you answered my comment. I was hoping you would make a reaction video to educate everyone and here you are doing amazing work! 25 Nutrition Made Simple! Not Bo Not Bo 1 month ago Excellent video. I love your approach to discussing science and explaining how to understand the data. Even more importantly, without a polarizing message. ❤️❤️❤️ 4 Darren Gall Darren Gall 2 days ago This is how scientific literacy is supposed to be. 2 Maärten Maärten 4 months ago Another great video with a solid, clear explanation. Thank you for your work, Dr. Carvalho. 🙏🏼 50 Nutrition Made Simple! Content Starved Content Starved 3 months ago Thanks for making this video. I was going to ask my doctor for a “fractionated” LDL test to see my “oxidized” (small) LDL levels, but as I’ve been watching more and more videos from people doing vegan/vegetarian/Mediterranean diets, the more I was getting a feeling that I would embarrass myself asking my doctor for this, and this vid put that final nail in the coffin. 18 James Wright James Wright 4 months ago Dude, you are awesome at explaining a very difficult subject. Just subed and happy to learn more. Thanks! 45 Nutrition Made Simple! Sistah Jan Anderson Sistah Jan Anderson 11 days ago (edited) Thank you so much for sharing your analysis regarding Dr. Berg’s videos. My husband actually referred your video to me and it was very helpful. I have been watching Dr Berg’s video for the past 2-3 years. However, I am glad that you have presented this fact check and you have helped me to gain a better understanding about how cholesterol both HDL AND LDL works in the body. I have subscribed to your channel and again Thank you so much. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😊😊 2 Lloyd Olayvar Lloyd Olayvar 3 months ago For me this is one of the best channels as it is based on careful logical and non-biased review of the best peer reviewed scientific studies and is careful about making conclusions. 18 Steve Mascella Steve Mascella 2 weeks ago I follow Dr Berg's advise and it has worked well for me and my Dr, after reviewing my bloodwork, has encouraged me to continue on my Keto/I.F. path. You come across as a good guy, so I have subscribed to you too! Do that diet that you can stick with, for me thats Keto, with occassional breaks. Be well. 40 Nutrition Made Simple! claire vinet claire vinet 4 months ago Thank you for being so respectful and helpful in our education on these topics 🙏🏼🇨🇦💖🥰 21 Nutrition Made Simple!

J.J. 3 months ago Thank you so much for this video. I thought this was going to be a "mock Dr. Berg" video but you did a good job pointing out his errors without going low, and provided great explanations. 82 Björn Jansson Björn Jansson 4 months ago (edited) Great video👌 As a "leyman" it is hard to value the advice you are given as a "patient" or "customer". Apparently there are misconceptions among doctors as well. I always try to find multiple sources for information. When dealing with healthcare workers and doctors i'm not embarassed to go for a second or third opinion when needed. I get that there is a "high pressure" occupation and diagnostics can be complicated. It's important to "realise" that opinions differ with diffrent doctors. In my country out of 100 "physical" doctors visits approx 10 are mistreated or wrongfully diagnosed statistically. That is not unsignificant 8 Nutrition Made Simple! Nate B Nate B 4 months ago (edited) The drum beat after 11:25 was a nice touch. :) I've found a few issues with some of the things Dr. Berg recommends/teaches/endorses, however for the most part he's been spot-on and overall he's helped me quite a lot. I've worked with 16 doctors over the last 3 years and I no longer care if a doctor is a traditional MD because frankly I've been hurt more by the MDs than the other types (naturopaths, etc), mostly via prescription drug negative effects. 66 AnlamChaotica AnlamChaotica 4 months ago Thank you. Now I know a lot more lipoproteins. One question: Is the amount of ApoB/lipoproteins in the blood only important for arterial vessels? Wouldn't having lower lipoproteins in the blood also benefit blood flow in the brain and other regions of the body? For instance, should we expect a boost in long distance running ability if someone lowers their lipoproteins as the reduction in lipoproteins would help their blood flow? Thanks. 4 The Debate Hitman The Debate Hitman 4 months ago I love your work. After having been a junk food vegan for six years, I’ve finally made the switch to whole-food vegan, and your videos give me the extra motivation to abstain from the junk that tempts me throughout the week. (I get to have one cheat meal every week, which is usually falafel and fries or an Impossible or Beyond burger, so I’m not 100% there.) 36 Vegan Linked Vegan Linked 1 month ago Before I went vegan in 2011 I had my blood work done. My total cholesterol was 168. 5 years later 125. Since then it stays below 150. 16 Bright Bright 3 months ago Thank you so much for contributing a voice of balance and reason online based upon hard science. Your voice needs to be heard loud and clear above the noise! 8 gummiesrule88 gummiesrule88 4 months ago Hey doc. This is great. Just found this channel, and it is a breath of fresh air. Question: have you done a clip on statins, pros and any cons? You regularly invoke them as effective tools to reduce serum cholesterol, but are there any contraindications for their use? There are other actual docs or Ph.D. types on YouTube who seem to have an almost visceral antipathy toward them. These same people also seem utterly convinced that LDL is a fake villain talked up by the pharma industry trying to sell statins. They say these things very calmly, but they say them. See, e.g., Dr. David Diamond (Ph.D in biology), and Dr. Sten Eckberg, a "holistic doctor" from Scandinavia. What say you? Personally, I'm less interested in the conspiracy angle than in the health angle, For example, if statins could correct a multitude of dietary sins when it comes to serum cholesterol, why aren't they an easy "get out of jail free" card, allowing indulgence in saturated fats, for example, with little or no consequence? 23 Nutrition Made Simple! Sebastian Catana Sebastian Catana 2 months ago Registered dietitian in the EU here. Dr. Carvalho, you are a freaking wonder! LOVE your explanations. Better than any course I ever attended in college. Mad respect and appreciation! 18 Paula Pernell Paula Pernell 4 months ago (edited) Just found your channel and appreciate your very straightforward and funny delivery. I did Keto for 5 months and lost the weight I gained during the first two Covid lockdowns. I have always had high cholesterol, as do my parents, but thought it was ok because my « good » cholesterol is high and my ratio is good. You just debunked that. Recently had blood work done and had the following results - Triglycerides 83, HDL 110 and LDL 260. I exercise daily, eat lots of fruits and veggies; however, I do eat fatty fish (sardines), minimal red meat, duck, chicken, and full-fat dairy. I am not overweight, have normal BP and no other health concerns. I have been researching medical articles and it seems that if you have a good triglyceride level and high HDL, you have a lower risk of heart disease, and that this is a better indicator than LDL. I am sure that this is nuanced, but is this true? After watching some of your videos, I am going to cut down on saturated fat and test again, as well as ask for the ApoB test. I am very curious to find out if my LDL will go down significantly by eliminating most saturated fats, i.e., cheese. I live in France, so cheese is everywhere. 🙂 1 Nutrition Made Simple! Harbingerbk Harbingerbk 4 months ago I love how much effort you put in to explaining his "conflation" of dietary and serum cholesterol when it's quite a lot more likely that it was intentional on his part 🙊 You're great, Dr. Gil, and this is a fabulous response! Your use of analogies makes everything so much easier to understand! Thanks for all you do ♡ 105 Nelson Cardoso Rodrigues Nelson Cardoso Rodrigues 4 months ago You make interesting points. I have been on an LCHF diet for about 10 years, and I honestly feel great. My Cholesterol numbers are on the high side and, I admit, sometimes I wonder what the long-term effects will be. Are there any studies on these long-term effects? Cumprimentos! 5 Nutrition Made Simple! LD JT LD JT 1 month ago This is excellent information and very well explained. Thank you so much. 1 Iyla channel Iyla channel 3 months ago This is easily the best video I've seen on this subject. On many subjects tbh. I'm not sure the Berg folks commenting here actually watched your video. Or maybe they didn't understand. I'm a physician and I paused and rewound a few times to make sure I understood. Well done! 9 Nutrition Made Simple! vixdivum vixdivum 4 months ago Chapeau! Always a pleasure to listen to you Gil! Informative, clear, easy to follow! Bravo! 5 V Trials V Trials 4 months ago Hi You put out a lot of very interesting videos. Could you do one on insulin resistance and glucose levels? This seems to be one of the largest wedges of contention between the Keto and Vegetarian diets in that the grains and starches (as well as processed foods) consumed by vegetarians spikes insulin and glucose levels causing many types of chronic diseases (especially Type 2 diabetes) and that the Keto diet keeps these, the insulin and glucose spikes low which reduces susceptibility to many of these chronic problems. Thank you 9 Nutrition Made Simple! Jarrit Hosking Jarrit Hosking 4 months ago Great video but I should mention that I have personally followed some of what he says and found it more workable than advice I had received from doctors. I imagine there are things we don't all understand. Medical errors cause an estimated 250,000 deaths in the United States annually and that is a statistic for 2020. The medical field is not perfect but that said I think you and Dr. Berg are doing a great job bringing what knowledge you do have to the public and that is truly a great thing. 8 Todd Levins, Concept L Todd Levins, Concept L 3 months ago Hi, great video! Dietary information is sooo confusing and I feel it's so much more valuable to have different voices critiquing one another and or debating. Rather than just delivering a monologue of information. 2 Clarence Walker Clarence Walker 4 months ago Great video Dr. Carvalho. I think a video critiquing Dr. Sten Ekberg's - " Your Doctor Is Wrong About Cholesterol would be a wonderful compliment to this one. Both Doctors appear to be advocates for ketogenic diets and want to be selective in the supporting studies they cite. Once again great video! 11 Pinter Anna Pinter Anna 1 month ago I remember falling into Dr Berg's content many years ago. So weird to look back and see it in a totally different way.This video helped so much in understanding cholesterol and just in general it helps to pick up a more factual driven mindset, actually all your content has the same good value. Thanks, I would give a hundred thumbs up, but there is just one! 22 Tabatha Ogost Tabatha Ogost 1 month ago Next year someone's gonna check this doctor! I can't keep up, every year someone fact-checks someone else. Just eat a balanced diet, avoid junk food, exercise and be happy, or smoke weed. haha! Honestly, I think we're about 400 years away from really understanding how stardust really works. 37 Nutrition Made Simple! Elise Nieuwe Elise Nieuwe 4 months ago Most comprehensive video I've found about cholesterol. Clearly explained. Thanks. 34 Nutrition Made Simple! Eric Adamson Eric Adamson 4 months ago (edited) About one minute into this video, I paused to review Dr. Berg's, visited the references, and arrived at the same conclusion. It's easy to see this as an unforgivable disservice, but I view it simply as a mistake. My hunch is that he's addressing the serum cholesterol spike often observed in patients on ketogenic diets -- some of whom he coaches professionally -- and he's attempting to quell a panic among his viewership. (Just a hunch.) I do not blindly trust Dr. Berg, partly because I know him to practice Scientology, which imposes a huge cash flow demand on its adherents, leaving him with every motive to deceive people. If, however, you view enough of his content, it becomes quite evident that Dr. Berg possesses a broad knowledge regarding nutrition, metabolism and endocrinology which he shares freely. He makes every effort to be diligent in his research, and relies on reputable sources of information. His typos and mispronunciations can be hilarious, but who's perfect? (At least he doesn't say "prostrate cancer!") I accept your criticism on this video, to the extent that it is fair and accurate, however I challenge you to spend a little time reviewing more of his content, and see why so many people have come to trust him. While Dr. Berg is by no means an infallible information source, I can tolerate little flubs, because I also view content from Dr. Sten Ekberg, Thomas DeLauer and other keto advocates, who cover much the same territory, from different perspectives. I find that referring to multiple resources and reading between the lines helps ensure that I wind up harboring fewer misconceptions. (I also spend on the order of 3-4 hours weekly, scouring PubMed for health information.) I feel that increasingly, MD's are being reduced to pill pushers. I absolutely believe in allopathic medicine, when it comes to handling a medical crisis, but I'm less impressed with its track record, managing chronic conditions. In particular, general practitioners do their patients a great disservice, by throwing pharmaceuticals at symptoms without first confirming/remediating nutritional status. Being reflexively handed a prescription for my symptom feels like asking a mechanic to research my vehicle's CHECK ENGINE light -- only to have him invest all of twenty seconds into hiding it behind a strip of electrical tape, charging me $60 for the service, and finally telling me that I'll have to buy a new strip every month, for the rest of my life. 80 Nutrition Made Simple! ontheballcity71 ontheballcity71 4 months ago I just found your channel, and I find the drama-free, information rich approach very refreshing.

Sandy Glover Sandy Glover 4 months ago That was excellent and it finally gave me some clarity on how to determine the role that ldl cholesterol really plays in heart disease risk. 👍👍 10 Kristoffer Kassel Kristoffer Kassel 4 months ago (edited) Great video, thanks for all your work! One can also add that the absolutely best answer about your heart disease risk, you get from a special x-ray of the heart arteries to see the calcification. Brad Stanfield has talked about this. 7 G. L. G. L. 4 months ago This video is VERY helpful. I have been trying to better understand the entire cholesterol issue for nearly a year and it’s still a challenge. I like Dr. Berg and watch many of his videos. He’s generally good, and he means well, but I never take what he says as gospel. I need multiple sources. I certainly had adopted this idea that LDL particle size matters. More people on YT say it than Berg. Very convincing that it doesn’t really. 52 Nutrition Made Simple!

Linus Berglund Linus Berglund 4 months ago (edited) Just felt the need to comment in general: finding your videos was something that got me started on a health journey. I started pretty OK; moderately junky plant based diet, good body weight (22 BMI), moderate exercise (swimming and biking), good blood work (total cholesterol in the 170 range). My family has a history of TIAs, and even though I don't really know or understand the underlying cause (the relatives that got it all had atherosclerosis), I thought that living more healthy wouldn't hurt. I am now eating more whole grain and less junk, and my latest blood work showed a total cholesterol of 125ish (3.1mmol/DL) with better ratio, a LOT better iron and ferritin, and consistently lower CRP (inflammation marker) Thank you for your videos! 4 Kevin Sandu Kevin Sandu 3 months ago What an amazing video, thanks doc. I learned a lot JohannaMueller57 JohannaMueller57 4 months ago great video, as always. thanks for doing this. ❤ what annoys me so much about this topic is the fact that a lot of people are told by their doctor that they need to make some serious changes to not stroke out, and then go on the internet and listen to some quack that tells them what they want to hear just to keep going as they used to. it's the same with the anti-vaxxers basically. i'm so tired of it all. 13 M Lind M Lind 4 months ago (edited) Thanks for the video, very helpful! A question if you don't mind. I know a lot of people who have lowered their Apo B with Keto and Carnivore diets, yet at the same time if googling for how to lower the amount, the diatery guide is always "lower the amount of saturated fats and eat more fiber". So, my question is are there multivariate analyses on studies that show, that a) saturated fat IS the cause to increased amount of Apo B or b) a keto or carnivore diet will increase the amount of Apo B? 1 Nutrition Made Simple!

In this video, we’re going to talk about what you need to know if you have high cholesterol on keto. The American Heart Association guidelines actually state that “total cholesterol is not significantly associated with heart disease.” Your body makes cholesterol to make hormones, cell membranes, bile, and vitamin D. Total cholesterol is really LDL, HDL, and triglycerides combined. Whenever a person gets a cholesterol test, they may also want to get an advanced lipid profile. This is an advanced test that measures the two different types of LDL. The two types of LDL are large buoyant and small dense (sdLDL-C). The type of cholesterol that can be dangerous is the small dense (sdLDL-C). The small dense type may be a better marker for predicting future potential heart problems and a better indicator of inflammation inside of the arteries. The small dense type of LDL comes from a high-carb diet. By doing the healthy version of keto, you can get into ketosis and start burning fat. There will be certain times where your cholesterol goes up and down. But, as long as you keep your carbs low, you’ll get more of the large buoyant LDL and not the small dense type.

OMAD “one meal a day” Started at 275 pounds, weighed in this morning at 248 pounds. Life changing 602 Dr. Eric Berg DC Shoshana Shoshana 1 year ago So interesting. I just had my blood test done and everything is fine but my dr wants to put me on statins because my LDL ( not the small type ) is high by his standard he thinks it’s genetic. I should have him watch this YouTube video because I refuse to take any drugs. I don’t take anything right now not even a Tylenol and I’m going to keep it that way. I’m almost 70 years old and proud to say I’ve never felt better in my life. 967 Dr. Eric Berg DC Tammie Judy Tammie Judy 1 year ago I often wonder- does Dr Berg know how many lives he is touching and changing with his information 181 Dr. Eric Berg DC Peter Vendetti Peter Vendetti 5 months ago You have taught me more about nutrition and my body than I ever thought I would know. God bless you and your wife family 30 Kevin Braden Kevin Braden 8 months ago 2017 I lost 30 pounds on Low carb and Intermittent fasting.....I went in for a check up and the Doctor said I looked great, but I mentioned because of the low carbs I feel tired. The Doctor did a blood test and I came back 300 on the cholesterol test. The Doctor called at night and had me immediately put on a Statin drug. Over the next 2 and half years I gained all the weight back, starting becoming diabetic, and was having severe memory problems. My NEW Doctor immediately took me off the Statin.....7 months later all the weight came back off and I'm doing cardio 5 days a week and doing great again. 34 Stephanie Phouotrides Stephanie Phouotrides 1 year ago I think high cholesterol and how the body deals with it is also determined by genetics.

You make so much sense in an understandable form You've already got me to start intermittent fasting, Cutting sugars, and increasing potassium (also beer and sweet alcohol is gone). I'm working on my fatty liver. Thanks Doc. I'm feeling better in such a short time and cannot wait to see how I'm doing in 30 days. So far, I cannot believe my results. 13 George Tattam George Tattam 1 year ago My doctor told me my cholesterol level was good, even though my total cholesterol was above the recommended level. I now understand why. This has been very informative. My levels (converted to US measurement) are Total - 228; LDL - 136; HDL - 73 and Triglycerides - 43. 13 RAbuff RAbuff 1 year ago Dr. Berg’s videos are getting more visually sophisticated making them even easier to understand. Excellent graphics team and always great science! 313 Dr. Eric Berg DC Lori Stec Lori Stec 11 months ago (edited) I've been doing keto and IF for about two weeks. Haven't lost weight yet but my knee that hurt following a meniscus tear and repair isnt hurting for the first time in 4 years! Dr berg is almost the only thing I watch now. Everything he says makes sense. My dr freaked when I told him no statins but I'm over them! 8 sunset30 sunset30 2 months ago Again, thank you Dr. Berg for another great video. And thanks to many helpful comments below. I've learned so much and now I stop worrying about my high cholesterol numbers (250 range) even though I eat really well, exercise regularly, always in excellent shape since I was a child. 1 Scarter63 Scarter63 1 year ago I got blood work done recently, and I've got high LDL, low HDL, and high Tri-g's, so I started searching the interwebs for information and came across this channel. Great stuff! I'm learning a lot, and have started IF, and working towards Keto. 7 D Rudder D Rudder 1 year ago Thank you so much for this video, Dr. Berg. My blood results came out similar to Karen's. Please thank her too, for sharing her results. I also had a "Blood test, comprehensive group of blood chemicals - Details" page with my blood tests and everything there was within standard ranges. This video and the AHA article you reference here is great backup for talking about Cholesterol with my general practitioner, and for us all to learn about these systems in the body. 7 Jia Eskuchen Jia Eskuchen 1 year ago Dr. Berg, I would like to thank you so much for this video. I am 38 years old woman who just got clear scans from fighting epithelioid sarcoma stage 4. My ct scan and blood work came back perfectly except for my elevated LDL. I have been doing keto and IF for 3 months now. My cardiologist wanted to put me on the drug to lower LDL, I hate taking drugs and requested advanced Lipid panel testing and just got it done. Now I’m waiting for the result to come back. 7 J Bz22 J Bz22 1 year ago I watched your videos years ago when you still had your little white board easel and not a whole lot of subscribers. I knew back then you were a born teacher! What I didn't know is that 4.5 million people would appreciate your talent as much as I did! Congrats! I'm also pleasantly shocked that you are providing all of these valuable lessons for free. You are a true hero Dr. Berg!!👍❤🙏 457 Dr. Eric Berg DC freedom1111bird freedom1111bird 8 months ago What is the normal range for small dense LDL-C? Im getting this test done in a couple days because my LDL was high and concerning for my doctor. Started Keto a month ago, and had my cholesterol checked last week. Thanks in advance! And love your educational videos! 1 Linda Hilliker Linda Hilliker 1 year ago You may have saved my life. I just found out that I have severe stenosis in my left vertebral artery. I suspect it all started with a head / neck injury after an MVA long ago. I’ve been having burning in my legs. I’m really concerned. So glad I stopped sugar! 9 Michael Davis Michael Davis 1 year ago (edited) All this information and knowledge to reverse our health issues and improve quality of life at our fingertips. Just amazing!

Dennis Considine Dennis Considine 3 months ago I’ve followed Dr. Berg for awhile. You were not dismissive, you simply stated research facts from credible sources. Dr. Berg has a persuasive personality — and he has a large following, but don’t let that stop doing these videos. Your work is sorely needed. 474 Slythe01 Slythe01 3 months ago I've watched enough videos from you and many other health YouTubers to know that you're easily one of the most rational and reasonable ones out there. 240 Lenno Lenno 3 months ago I have been in the fitness industry for 35 years as a personal trainer. My goal from the beginning is to not only help my clients but also to pass on the truth no matter who I get it from. It has become incredibly difficult to educate my clients do to all the misinformation and deceit in the industry. Your channel is one of my go to channels for truthful, honest info. Keep doing what you are doing!! 185 lothar lothar 3 months ago Thanks Gill for your honest fact-checked health advice, you are a small island in a sea full of opinionated bizarre health gurus. Please keep on doing your good work ! Kind regards from Munich, Germany 117 Richie Kirwan Richie Kirwan 3 months ago Well said mate. You've never come across as dismissive of individuals and always focus on the evidence. That's why your content is so good. 90 Speedytrip Speedytrip 3 months ago If everyone was so humble and reasonable, humanity would progress much faster. Great video as always. 60 Pamela and Pablo Ortiz Pamela and Pablo Ortiz 3 months ago Your wonderful demeanor , sense of humor and FACT based and scientifically researched content and expertise are INVALUABLE and badly needed in this space. I did not view the referenced video as condescending at all . As you were reading his interpretation you expressed genuine surprise while remaining very respectful. I have over forty years experience as a registered nurse and appreciate all the time you spend presenting these studies in a comprehensive way and not just taking bits and pieces of it as proof of a point . Sadly we have seen this during this difficult pandemic when even these that should know better have lashed out against science . A sincere thank you ! 👏👏👏 82 Kathleen Kulp Kathleen Kulp 3 months ago Your simple, accurate, and well-researched videos have been MOST helpful and educational. I always want to be the most informed patient/person I can be. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication. 59 Ayeda Ayed Ayeda Ayed 3 months ago (edited) Well said, Gil! I don't think you were dismissive of Dr. Berg at all. I thought your critique was a well-articulated and scientifically-supported rebuttal. Well done! EDIT: I appreciate your integrity in not accepting affiliates or sponsors. That says a lot about what your mission is on this channel! 40 Scotty g Scotty g 3 months ago Keep calling out the BS! The facts are what we need! 62 Russ Willsher Russ Willsher 3 months ago You come across as a bright, informed, engaged professional. In the internet world (as you pointed out), it is impossible to satisfy all of your viewers. You can never prevent emotional reactions from people when you use facts and scientific data that may disagree with their less educated opinion. I find you refreshing and educational! PLEASE never change how you present your information. I am an airline captain, and emotional decisions made in the cockpit are never helpful. Quite the opposite. I have 400+ lives counting on me and my crew to make accurate decisions based purely on factual information. I prefer that passengers like me, but getting them to their destinations safely, far outweighs their opinion of me personally. 21 guy guy 3 months ago Based channel. Easily one of my favorite nutrition and health channels. The skepticism, the rationality, the understanding of logical fallacies. Top tier stuff. 32 Golden Calf Golden Calf 3 months ago If I'm completely honest, I'm too lazy to review the scientific literature. It's far easier for me to make a judgement based on gut feel about the YouTube content creator. And that's true of the vast majority of the YouTube audience. That's why smooth talking grifters get millions of views. 44 Jeff Erwin Jeff Erwin 3 months ago (edited) Thanks for making this video. I watch Dr Berg's content and totally trusted his guidance. I have high cholesterol and I turned down statins based upon his recommendation. I'm reconsidering this now that you brought his error in interpreting a study to light. 27 Eddy Pena Eddy Pena 3 months ago Thank you for clarifying your views on this matter. I follow Dr. Berg and while I really enjoy his videos, if he made a mistake and you corrected it, I think it's great that you supplement the information for the benefit of all. 21 Neal Fennell Neal Fennell 3 months ago (edited) I started off watching Dr. Berg last year some time and have enjoyed his content, he seems to provide sensible sounding advice and often backs it up with links to supporting information, studies, whatever. More recently, I've found your channel and it's a real breath of fresh air to see someone pointing out flaws in logic and understanding. Especially after watching people go down covid rabbit holes for the last couple of years. Anyway, after watching this video, I think it's a bit much to expect your audience to verify your claims and the claims of those you're fact checking. I don't think I even knew the difference between serum and dietary cholesterol until I watched your video. How is the average person with little to no science or medical background to begin even understanding what we should look at in these studies? We all have busy lives doing other stuff, we come here to get the gist of the situation, some advice we can "trust", hopefully accurate, and we move on the next video. I work a mentally taxing job and want to switch off for a while at night. We have to be able to trust someone at some level. How can we tell on our own who to trust when we don't know what serum and dietary cholesterol are, or that they're even different things, for example? I certainly don't have time to verify the claims made in every video, I watch 10-15 videos a night easily. I don't have the time or the knowledge to fact check my doctor either. Most of the time I'm watching these vids on a streaming device and can't even see the comments to know if there is any controversy. Honestly it seems hopeless. I do appreciate what you're doing though, very much, I wish there was more of you for many different fields. 14 Red Ragna Red Ragna 3 months ago I've been into nutrition for a long time (as an athlete then as an Anatomy major in university). Unless you major in it and are forced to sit down and sift through all the studies, it's so hard to distinguish from what good and bad advice is. Thank you so much for making this channel. 11 Nutrition Made Simple! Kid Fragrance Kid Fragrance 3 months ago Thank you - PLEASE keep this up we need Docs like you! I truly appreciate your honesty and reflection on your very own content. There are not very many people out there willing to reflect as you did. I like Doctor Eric Berg! Still I watch his content even though his own son seems to have gripes with him but I will never put my whole faith on a person on YouTube. 🙂 I will try things that make me healthier and apply those working principles. God Bless You!! 22 Alek C Alek C 3 months ago Man, thanks a lot for this and the original video. It's so difficult to provide intelligent objective critique as you did. Weather your reaction was too strong - I don't think so. I'm not a medical pro, only an engineer. But my reaction would be the same or much worse if someone mistook physical units and offer his recommendations based on this error. There's no excuse for such grave mistake. Chiropractor or not this should not have happened particularly given the consequences of health decision possibly made by the viewers. Keep up the great job Doc!!! 31 YourDead Line YourDead Line 3 months ago Also remember that no matter how good you are going to be in particular area you have rights to be wrong from time to time and also you have rights to correct someone on topic which you have understanding of. It's ok to be wrong if you are not misinforming people on purpose or for financial benefits. Same goes for Dr. Berg and for you. You are rational. If listener is also rational then he will understand that noone is 100% right every time. 20 Nutrition Made Simple! Alfredo Cruz Alfredo Cruz 3 months ago Please keep doing what you're doing. We need more of science based facts to make our own desicion. 22 Adrienne Gray Adrienne Gray 3 months ago Fantastic video! I’ve been learning about plant based eating for a long time (since Forks Over Knives) and my understanding has changed greatly throughout my journey. I truly appreciate your videos—they’ve caused me to question and dig deeper into some “facts” I’ve heard from some PB gurus, and that’s a very good thing. I’m evolving because of content providers like you. Thanks Gil & team! 12 Dominic Mancello Dominic Mancello 3 months ago As someone trained in the scientific method this is a good discussion. One needs to look at biases and motivations which may skew data to a desired result. Dr. Berg often pushes the keto diet and profits from this endeavor. It's important to be skeptical and understand any underlying biases. 77 Hong Beaven Hong Beaven 3 months ago As a non-medical person, I rely on professional like you to fact-check on issues that I couldn’t understand without your help. I very appreciate your videos. 4 Ranny Bunny Ranny Bunny 3 months ago (edited) Thank you, this channel is a game changer for me in terms of clarity, truth, accuracy, and it is all delieverd with humillity that reminders me to focus on what is important. 11 oloblish oloblish 3 months ago Honestly your unbiased view is what got me to change my mind about Keto and switch to a Slow Carb, more low glycemic whole foods based way of living 27 Mr EveryDayLife Mr EveryDayLife 3 months ago Your response to Dr. Berg was natural human emotion and necessary for effective communication 👏🏾 ... 18 Nutrition Made Simple! every thing every thing 3 months ago As someone who always wanted to make healthy food choices and values scientific evidence above anything but still undereducated and sucks at browsing the web , your channel provides the perfect guidance I needed . I'm recovering from a severe eating disorder I developed for being scared of eating literally anything because there's always someone out there who says it'll kill you. I can't thank you enough for the energy and effort you put in your videos. You're doing a great service for all and should be respected for it. 8 oloblish oloblish 3 months ago (edited) Love the unbiased mindset... Or least biased person I've seen in the nutrition space. 25 The Hylander The Hylander 3 months ago Gill is stand-up guy who sticks to the evidence and not drama and click-bait stuff. One of my favorite channels. 3 Joe P Joe P 3 months ago This has to be one of the most lucid, intelligent videos I have ever seen on YouTube. This video should be required watching in every classroom. Every progressive fool out there who blindly believes anything in the mainstream media, but especially on social media, sorely needs to learn that there is something called the TRUTH, not "your truth." Keep fighting the good fight, doctor. 4 Nutrition Made Simple! Mike Andersson Mike Andersson 3 months ago I like your videos and learn a lot from them. I watch Dr. Berg's videos and learn from him as well. I like the fact that you fact check because it is so easy to get led into believing something from some channels that may or may not be factual and is just a way to pump out a video every week to get views on popular topics. I hope you don't get scared off from fact checking more of Dr. Bergs info so we have have more info to make our decisions from. Keep it going. 11 Jack Klompus Jack Klompus 3 months ago I love this guy. Watched soo many diff drs on YouTube and I love the fact that he doesn’t push supplementals or promote any products. Keep up the integrity doc! 2 Policy Guy Policy Guy 3 months ago I just recently discovered your channel. Thank you so much for doing these videos. It would be just about impossible for me to do all the research and fact-checking that you do on my own. You have been a huge help! 3 JamieForReal, MLIS JamieForReal, MLIS 3 months ago (edited) I followed Eric Berg for a time and have appreciated your comments regarding his errors in fact. I became skeptical of him in the context of seeing reliable facts that refute his misinformation. Your fact-checking has been a valuable public service and has helped to shed light on the particularly murky subject of nutrition. Please keep providing us with truthful information in the clever and witty way you do. PS. Please do Nina Teicholz and Gary Taubes. 18 maker maker 2 months ago I have seen several of Dr. Berg's videos before and always had doubts about his claims that sounded too "out there". As a 35 year old male who has tendancies for high cholesterol, I am extremely grateful that you made that video because it tells me that I really cannot trust someone who confuses diatery cholesterol with blood cholesterol. I will try to do my own research using google scholar paper and try to understand the correlations between these factors and chances of heart disease more (like you showed in your other video - how to do your own research). Thank you from the bottom of my cholesterol rich heart :) 1 Nutrition Made Simple! Geoff Smith Geoff Smith 3 months ago (edited) I appreciate your videos. Fact-checking occurs in all of media, so I think it's perfectly fair. I appreciate the info from the studies you cite. Keep doing what you do. 4 Chloe Crawford Chloe Crawford 2 months ago I respect that you bring nuance and science back to these debates. I really appreciate the factual discussions you bring to the channel, it gives me a solid foundation to question and learn more on my quest to improve my health and diet. 1 Nutrition Made Simple! Cristina Camelia Cristina Camelia 3 months ago This is why I love this channel so much: verified updated information, objectivity, equity, politeless, open-minded approach, valuable teachings and the list goes on. 1 David Hanselman David Hanselman 3 months ago Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos! Your voice and approach is exactly what's needed on this medium! Intelligent disagreement, scientific method, research, logic, avoiding logical fallacies, deep dives into explanation and evaluation - all of what you do - is far too rare. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 1 sittingfrogleg sittingfrogleg 3 months ago (edited) Many thanks for the work you do on this channel! You do a great job of communicating complicated concepts for us non medically trained, in a non boring or condescending way. I have even more appreciation for this channel, clearly you are putting your desire to be helpful first over your ego. Your work on this channel is much appreciated and needed. 2 Nutrition Made Simple! Pamela Barra Pamela Barra 3 months ago I appreciate all your content and have learned a lot from you!! Keep on sharing!! 10 Michael Rivero Michael Rivero 3 months ago Thank you Sir! I appreciate your honesty and your content. I feel your opinions are fact based and comes from your heart. 6 Don Naman Don Naman 3 months ago Thank you for taking the time to put out the content on your channel. YouTube is a great resource but it’s essential to find good channels and disregard others. When someone uses a science based approach and links referenced studies, it’s much easier to judge channel quality. And your channel is one of my favorite for those specific attributes. I’m a 57yo who has been a health nerd for 25+ years. I’m always trying to level up and your channel has become one of my favorite on YouTube. Thank You!! 7 Music AfterOldAge Music AfterOldAge 3 months ago What you do here is really appreciated. Thank you! 8 E W E W 3 months ago You've done and continue to do a great job with your videos and information. Don't change anything in how you approach your videos! You have a fantastic and needed channel. 5 tvdw tvdw 3 months ago Greetings from Belgium Gil. Never commented before I think but was compelled just to write to let you know how much I appreciate the videos you make. I really think you are very fair and have never thought you were inconsiderate or not mindful, on the contrary. Please keep doing what you are doing. 🙏🌱 1 Nutrition Made Simple! Jae Ryu Jae Ryu 3 months ago I am thankful I found this channel. Many thanks for all your hard work and honesty you put into the videos. Keep 'em coming! 1 Wayne Golding Wayne Golding 3 months ago Wow! The fact that you've turned this into a lesson is crazy! I honestly couldn't even see how it was possible you were "dismissive" or anything negative towards Dr Berg and would've just "dismissed" the people saying that but you actually took on what they said (didn't take it personally) and looked for where it may have come off that way to some people and plan to work on that in the future. That's crazy to me. You're amazing 👏 3 Nutrition Made Simple! Kamran Aslam Kamran Aslam 3 months ago Great video as always. With the amount of disinformation on the Internet, there is a dire need for people like you on every topic. 1 dukesb dukesb 3 months ago Loving your content. You're right, this kind of content is much needed on social media, especially YouTube. I used to watch a lot of Dr Berg but after learning that he is a Scientologist and watching his son's videos I have been majorly turned off. 1 Luke York Luke York 1 day ago Haven't had a lot of luck with the medical community over the year's Knowing no one is perfect in have accepted the experience's and moved on. Dr Berg comes across as a good honest Dr with a mission to heal. I think both of your have good information to contribute. Where Nerdy is Cool! Where Nerdy is Cool! 3 months ago I like Dr Berg's presentation but I have seen more well placed disclaimer alerts from the many Physical Therapist on here than him. (His is tucked way down at the bottom of his video description) I'm sure he's making lot's of money preaching KETO and knows next to nothing about nutrition, asides his various study references. Mu opinion of him has sunk over the past few months. He's just "one of those YouTubers" that has a big following and cashes in with all that Google Adsense money and whatever teachings/supplements he is chucking 5 Sobchak Sobchak 3 months ago Many thanks for this video and for the great advice on nutrition you give on your channel. Truly competent people are very hard to find, keep up the good work. 3 Sebastian Alongi Sebastian Alongi 3 months ago Great video! I admire your objective presentation. I find your videos valuable and appreciate you put out content without profiting, which you deserve due to your knowledge. Keep them coming! 2 Nutrition Made Simple! Ty Lim Ty Lim 3 months ago Just found your channel and watched a couple of your video so far and subscribed. I appreciate very much your stance on keeping your channel objective, offering clear, truthful science-based information. I look forward to learning more from your channel. Thank you! 1 Jozef Woo Jozef Woo 3 months ago You're amazing. So amazing that I'm sure you won't let my comment influence you in any negative way (like too much praise can do sometimes). Thanks for being a light in the dark. 😊👍 7 Nutrition Made Simple! Sterling Forbes Sterling Forbes 3 months ago Nice follow up. It's appreciated that you not only read through comments but were sensitive to them. Personally I perceive you in a better light after watching this and I'm grateful for that and now look forward to seeing more of your content. 2 Amanda Garcia Amanda Garcia 3 months ago You’re channel is amazing and much appreciated. Please keep it up. 5 Don't Worry Be Happy Don't Worry Be Happy 3 months ago I love your honesty and integrity. I really appreciate that you can admit to making past mistakes and the desire to always be improving. YouTube and social media in general would be improved by leaps and bounds if more content providers followed your lead and if more content consumers would take to heart your guidance on how to analyze claims and to focus on the data and not on just credentials or personal attacks. Roman Benedit Roman Benedit 3 months ago Great Video and I would just like to point out that you’re both ( Dr. Gil and Berg ) providing complicated concepts in a way that one can understand and make educated decisions on your particular health . No one knows your body better than you . A 15 minute visit with a Dr will never be enough. Thank you for taking the time to explain how these systems work in our body 3 alwayswannarun alwayswannarun 3 months ago Love your videos! Thank you for the work you do. 1 Jason Evans Jason Evans 3 months ago Any self proclaimed ‘nutrition guru’ like Berg who preach a very dogmatic approach, absolutely needs to be fact checked. This is the same guy who warned against standing near microwave ovens. 🤦🏻‍♂️ And I’m not anti-keto or fasting, it’s one of several eating styles that works well for some. 13 Siddarath Siddarath 3 months ago Keep up the great work. Your production quality might not be the highest quality, but the underlying message and substance is top notch, at least for those that can identify it. Which is part of the problem I guess. Still it matters and thanks 1 Ujjwal Shrestha Ujjwal Shrestha 3 months ago Awesome fact check video. I have been following Dr. Berg for the last 3 months now, it has been awesome and has been working out for me. I also believe in correcting based on facts like you said, this evolves us into the right direction and always theres a room for improvement if its Dr Berg or anybody else. 1 Andre Andre 3 months ago If something happens to you, then we all know why. Keep doing what you’re doing and spread the truth. Food is medicine. Matthwe Neldon Matthwe Neldon 3 months ago (edited) You present scientific data. That sets you apart from most! Congrats for standing up in a world where many have forgotten what science is! Your video was completely appropriate. 2 NG NG 1 month ago (edited) your empathy to how information is received demonstrates a great deal of wisdom. thanks for your content. 1 Johnny19O Johnny19O 3 months ago Thank you for what you are doing. Keep up the great work! 1 The Only Omega The Only Omega 3 months ago (edited) I appreciate you making the fact checking video. I lowered my dietary cholesterol intake because of it. I also would really appreciate if you continue to make more. Nutrition Made Simple! mtmmason mtmmason 3 months ago I found your video as perfect as could be expected. I am a fan of Dr Berg, but you saved me from repeating a very confusing topic. You earned a subscriber and my appreciation. 1 Casey Cope Casey Cope 3 months ago Yay Dr. Carvalho!
