Big Fat Nutrition Policy | Nina Teicholz

I work in a large hospital in Houston, TX. If you want a honey bun, bag of chips, and 20 ounce, sugary drink at 2 a.m., you'll have no problem getting them. If you want real food, you had better bring it with you. After you get finished with the vending machine, turn around to see them touting their "heart research," advertised on the elevator door.

Does anybody else find it odd that if you eat like the food pyramid, you will look like it.

In July of 2022 I prepared myself for giving up sugar for a month. I told myself that on August 1, 2022 I wasn't going to eat sugar for 31 days. At the end of July I found out I had gluten sensitivity by reading a book and researched about it. On August 1, 2022 I gave up both gluten and sugar and I felt amazing. After 31 days of being sugar free I was finally able to admit to myself that I have a sugar addiction and decided adding sugar back into my diet was not ideal for me. I soon figured out i'm lactose intolerant, sensitive to corn. allergic to soy (crazy cuz everything have soy in it) my stomach can't tolerate seed oils and artificial sugars. All these sensitivities that I have is crazy. I'm full black and I grew up eating junk food and buying the cheapest items in the stores. I use to shop at Walmart and buy great value food products now I can't even buy great value food products because it's all full of junk that my stomach can't digest properly or soy that im allergic to. I try to educate other blacks but all I say seems to fall on death ears. My highest weight was 280 pounds two years ago and now i'm in the 160s and I dont feel like im on a diet at all I just know what I can eat and what I need to stay away from. I really enjoy eating and don't feel the need to over eat and when i'm not hungry I dont eat. I dont eat any grains, dairy, soy, sugar and flours and I feel like a million bucks.

Another thing I love about this woman... When she answers the question about her team and talks about its diversity, she's not talking about race, gender, sex orientation, etc... It's about their knowledge, skills, and background. The things that really define us, so refreshing. We need more people like her.

One thing she didn’t talk about is our sugar intake is up 50% since the 70s. Why? Because they took all the fat out of the food. Which makes it taste bad. So they put in sugar because it taste better.

After 13 years of following a high starch plant-based diet both on the advice of my physician and thanks to movies like Forks Over Knives and Hungry for Change, I'm 50 lbs overweight. Since moving to a low carb, mostly meat and fat centric diet, I've already lost six inches off my waist in less than a month!!

She failed to mention that Ancel Keys studied 22 countries but only used the data of 7 because that's how he " fit" his hypothesis to the data

Nina, I cannot even begin to tell you how much I appreciate the 10 years of your life you spent to bring us such a profound disclosure. you are my hero

I am old enough to remember when I was little that not only hardly anybody was fat, or even plump, but when women wanted to lose a few pounds to fit their best frock better on Saturday, they stopped eating potatoes, bread, cakes and biscuits for a few days. They ate all the meat, eggs, cheese etc. These foods were considered nutritious. My mother called bread and potatoes ‘fillers’.

I dropped 70+lbs and reversed my fatty liver that I had for 10+ years in about a year doing Keto, plus I’m putting muscle back on that I lost on starvations diets from the past. I also have to thank Dr. Eric Berg and Dr. Darren Schmidt for helping me to turn my health around.

As an 83 year old carnivore/keto man. Glad to have seen this, why because I am constantly told I will die sooner than later… I’m stronger feel great I can look in a mirror and see a 50-60 year old… I do no heavy exercise but do chores etc! walking a lot… Live in NYC a car is not necessary….

I gained a lot of weight during the pandemic and started looking for solutions. I found the Keto/LCHF diet and lost 25 Kg in about a year. It's the biggest scandal of our times what happened. Kudos to Nina for uncovering the truth 👏

"The American diabetes association is almost 100% supported by the pharmaceutical companies that makes insulin" It says it all.

My grandad saved his children and their children ... and their children by his experience working in a margarine factory during WW2. It was such a disgusting dark-coloured and rank smelling slop that was bleached and coloured to look like butter. I grew up eating butter, unlike all my school friends in the 80s, and none of us believed the margarine ads on TV, because we knew Pa's story. I can't imagine the ailments my whole family would have today if we'd listened to the health advice of the government. Interestingly, the people who married into the family, and refused to convert to butter, have had cancer and high cholesterol/blood pressure. I wonder ...

Wow! It's fascinating how so much public nutrition policy is based on nothing more than an unproven hypothesis, in fact a now disproven one! Thank you for doing this work, Nina.

I’ve read “The Big Fat Surprise”. It’s an excellent book, but was no surprise to me. I grew up in the 1960s and 70s. In those days, everyone knew that carbohydrates were fattening ( we didn’t talk about “ healthy” and “unhealthy” foods then). Then, in the 1980s, we were told that fatty foods (such as red meat, eggs, and butter) were “unhealthy” and that we should eat a lot of carbs, instead. The result- people got very fat. It should have been obvious to anyone who remembered the 60s and 70s, that the low-fat dietary advice was flawed, but unfortunately almost everyone was brainwashed by the propaganda.

The medical industry is in the business of treating dis ease, it's not in their interest to prevent it. When you realize this you'll understand that doctors are not experts on nutrition.

Ask any doctor how much time was spent in medical school studying nutrition, and that will tell you everything you need to know about the true goals of the health care industry. You want to live a long and healthy life, stay the hell away from the health care, processed food, and pharmaceutical industries.

I'm so glad you did this. Personally you are my hero! I had lots of my family members died from doctors recommending the wrong foods. I began searching because now I'm insulin resistant. Keep up the good work 👏

This presenter is logical, balanced, and without rancor where there have been violations, which keeps her mind clear. She encourages sound minded investigation, and in depth evidence. Thank you.
