Is Alternative Meat the Recipe for a Healthier Planet? | Tao Zhang | TED
A Chinese saying goes, “There’s no pleasure in eating without meat.” And the data backs that up: every year, China consumes 26 percent of the world’s meat and 45 percent of its seafood — numbers that could grow alongside rising incomes. Impact investor Tao Zhang shows why getting Chinese consumers to switch to plant-based alternatives…

Dietary cholesterol does not effect blood serum cholesterol. Dieticians have known this for quite a long time now. There was a man in a nursing home who had a diet of ONLY 20-25 boiled eggs a day, for over 10 years. They did a case study on him, his cholesterol was perfectly normal. Inflammation, primarily from concentrated and artificial sweeteners causes cholesterol that is normally healthy and NECESSARY for your body to get stuck in arteries. It’s not the cholesterol that’s bad, it’s the sugar. Our great grandparents had VERY high cholesterol diets yet cancer was significantly more rare in their time than it is today. You know whats everywhere and in everything today that wasn’t in their time? Sugar. @@Ivan-qf4mt

Only certain kinds/cuts of meat. And not eggs. Also doesn’t apply to animals you raise yourself. Also whataboutism doesn’t change the truth of my statement. Are you saying you’ll knowingly consume something that’s bad for you because you’re told the alternative is also bad? Humans have eaten meat as long as humans have existed, what we haven’t done is eaten chemicals made to look like meat in a factory. Do you, I don’t care about other peoples diets.

Think about it, does it make sense to eat something slightly contaminated that humans have been safely eating for thousands of years, or would you rather eat something you know for a fact is contaminated and we have no long term data on the safety of? People, doctors included, said cigarettes were not only safe but healthy for decades and decades. Then, they learned better because people consumed them for their whole lives and started dying from very severe smoking related illnesses. The same thing will happen with fake meat. @@jhunt5578

To be clear, I already ate very little meat for ecological reasons (flexitarian), but cholesterol still accumulated in my arteries.

Clearly, you must of had a high carb diet along with other inflammatory factors, do some research meat HEALS! Sugar and insulin spikes clearly are correlated, if not a clear causation to heart disease. Man, I feel bad for you. I, too, was clueless about an optimal diet once.
@Baraz_Red
January 11, 2024 at 5:10 pm
@@Chris-kr7gg In my case, I don’t think I had a high-carb issue nor sugar issue. It was utter cholesterol in the heart. There is also a genetic factor (that affects a lot of Humans), as they realized when some very athletic people were accumulating cholesterol in their arteries. Another big factor is lack of physical activity: my near-death was after the COVID crisis during which I beat records of being seated all week. I don’t think it is a coincidence. 😛
I tried to eat healthy, but I still often ate too much cheap pizzas (often all of it) and too often. Or complete meat pies (which have high-carbs). Since physical activity converts bad cholesterol into OK cholesterol, I suspect my flexitarian diet (with some spikes of terrible pizzas) was not the sole factor. For example, among most of my male friends around 40 years old, I was one of the smallest (150 lbs albeit short ; so not obese).
According to current science, excess cholesterol (i.e. the liver produces most needed cholesterol) comes from animal products and byproducts. Fats from animal products, not vegetable based fats.
I do see that carbs can cause other forms of cardiovascular diseases, related first to the liver.
@Chris-kr7gg
January 11, 2024 at 5:54 pm
@@Baraz_Red systemic inflammation and chronic inflammation probably played a part. Cholesterol, isn’t the demon in the room. A predispostion to genetic factors are possible. From what you previously aforementioned about very little meat in your diet it clearly wasn’t the meat.
I can only surmise vitamin D defiency and possible lack of K2 to put calcium in the bones and not the arteries was a possible issue along with processed foods and maybe other bad habits! Out of interest when you had a heart attack was you exercising/exerting yourself ? Also do you practice fasting?
I’m from the UK and its funny how until the 80s everyone predominantly ate animal proteins and fat and even smoked yet were slim and heart attack rates were a far lower cause of death! Until a fella called Ancel Keys villanised saturated fat and promoted polyunsaturaed fats. It’s true low ldl cholesterol can reduce atherosclerosis, yet humans hormones run on cholesterol to an extent. So you can try to correct a problem and cause a plethora of others K2 is funnily enough found in cheese products yet its terrible for people supposedly, maybe it was the combination of sugars/carbs lack of nutrients and lack of fasting which causes issues also all the rancid toxic seed oils promoted as healthy, which are usually high in polyunsaturated fats.

Nb : after a year of a more strict regime of non-meat proteins and some vegetables (set by myself, reducing my cholesterol from 3.1 to 0.7), I do occasionally eat meat now, and I doubt I lack good cholesterol (that is almost never an issue from what I read). In any case, I try to diversify and “cheat” my regime on purpose in order to add variety.

Mushroom based always better if acidity is considered, acid breaks down the sensitive inner body workings and turns your flesh into mucus, said mucus build up in the body is disease, illness or sickness. Alkaline balance is essential for gut health otherwise the body does not absorb any nutrients from said food properly, only with proper gut health acidity. True healthcare always begins at the breakfast, lunch and dinner plate, less acidity for optimal body function, healing shouldn’t be interrupted with injury, get me?
