What are some good nutrition/medical channels on youtube and instagram that you would recommend to a family member?

meet the general scientific consensus?
sees a lot of conflicting nutrition and medical info
You can't have one without the other. Nutritional research is severely lacking in the literature. any of the cited studies that make the vast bulk of the scientific flotilla are just observational epidemiology... Which is very noisy.
I've done a bunch of reading, a massive amount really, and the only thing everyone agrees about is processed foods are bad... Except not all processed foods (the ones that further some other agenda)
Pick your flavor of opinion and people can suggest good creators in that vertical.
whole foods only direct from a farm, no processing at all
vegan
whole food vegan
Paleo
minimally processed foods
low fat
ketogenic
Personally - After all my reading I've settled on keto/carnivore, but to say there isn't consensus is a understatement. There are many people who make their diet their identify and feel personally attacked if you eat differently than them. The best thing I can say for keto is their evidence is consistent, lines up across domains, and individuals following it see immediate improvements in their health metrics
I can recommend the low carb down under YouTube channel for medical lectures on the keto, very clear about the quality and limitations of their evidence.

It would be a nice improvement! Currently you can go to settings -> blocks and you can add a block.

What if carnivore became the standard diet? - MD Hampton

Jump

jet @hackertalks.com 2w ago

The default diet today is highly processed, high carb, low fat, low protein... so any change would be a improvement.

As we have seen in the metabolic psychically papers, lots of people would see near immediate benefits in mood.

Selfishly a carnivore world would give better options at restaurants!

Of course, many people 'live to eat', and transitioning to 'eat to live' would be profound... fast food and restaurants would see a fairly big dip in sales, but they would adjust.

I'm not ready to give up on my coffee yet.

Cows eat grass. Humans use more calories digesting grass than they gain from eating grass, so cows are infinitely more efficient than humans at gaining calories from grass.

And there are places in the world where growing human food would destroy the land. Semi-deserts like Texas and Montana. Grazing cattle there is a good idea. Bison would be even better because the native prairie there is adapted to bison, but cattle are a close substitute.

[Paper] Confronting myths: relative and absolute requirements of dietary carbohydrates and glucose as metabolic fuels. - 2024

Jump

jet @hackertalks.com 2w ago

Drenick et al. demonstrated that, after a 2-month fast in obese subjects, insulin stimulation failed to precipitate hypoglycemic reactions with plasma glucose as low as 9 mg/dl (0.5 mM) [25].

This is really important, when fully fat adapted the human body can exist with massively low blood glucose levels. Well beyond what would be considered a hypoglycemic emergency. This isn't relevant for people just doing ketosis for general health, but it is illustrative of the power of fat adaption. This paper calls it out because its part of a cancer treatment protocol where they create hypoglycemic states in patients.

During prolonged fasting, blood glucose levels below 30 mg/dL (1.70 mM) have been sustained continuously for several months without adverse effects [22, 23].

Ahh! let's talk about ought!

Since humans store fat, one could see mechanistically we are setup to run on the energy we store: fat

When humans go more then 4 hours without eating glucose (skipping a meal, keto, fasting, or sleeping) they are running on fat, including the brain. If you want to prevent your brain from using fat you need to drip feed glucose all day (which some people try really hard to do), but when you sleep some of that fat will finally get to be used by the brain. One could reasonably argue the default energy of the human body is fat, hence why it's used during sleep.

https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/molecular-neuroscience/articles/10.3389/fnmol.2016.00053/full#h7

Both short-term PET and arterio-venous difference studies in humans show that brain glucose consumption decreases as ketone availability to the brain increases. These results suggest that ketones are actually the preferred energy substrate for the brain because they enter the brain in proportion to their plasma concentration irrespective of glucose availability; if the energy needs of the brain are being increasingly met by ketones, glucose uptake decreases accordingly. This decrease in brain glucose uptake when both ketones and glucose are available supports the notion that ketones are the brain’s preferred fuel.

The body will use glucose when available, because glucose is so damaging to cells - glycation happens rapidly. As soon as any glucose elevations are seen in the blood stream insulin is immediately released to push glucose into fat cells and get blood glucose levels back to the low normal.

However, I'm open to being wrong: Why 'ought' the brain use glucose instead of fat?

Sure, humans are lipvores we store fat we run on fat, stored fat is often seen as weight.

Regardless if a person is skinny, fat, or in between their brain can run on fat.

I'm not talking about your weight, I'm talking about the fuel source for the brain. The body runs on fat, the brain runs on fat. It can, when available, also use glucose - but the entire metabolic system tries to keep glucose levels low and consistent rather then spiked and high.

Starches and carbs feed the brain.

Turns into blood glucose, which the body can use in the brain, but works as hard as it possibly can to put into fat cells. The brain also runs perfectly well on fat, humans store fat not glucose for long term energy.
