Content
0 -> - Nutrition information
can be so confusing,
3.181 -> and as advanced as we are
medically and scientifically
5.64 -> the question remains what foods
7.361 -> should we eat to achieve good health?
10.351 -> Believe it or not, in the
1950s, sugar was actually
13.427 -> touted as an energy and weight loss aid.
17.718 -> In the 1990s the fat-free craze took over,
22.114 -> and in early 2000 carbs became
the biggest threat of all.
26.352 -> When it comes to our overall health,
27.873 -> we've been given mixed messages as well.
30.224 -> Eggs were once the
villain, and now they're
31.873 -> seen as a great protein source.
34.142 -> And it was just a generation ago that
35.533 -> tropical oils, including coconut oil,
37.663 -> were deemed a serious
risk to hearth health.
41.062 -> Doesn't it all seem very hard to swallow?
43.294 -> And how do we determine
the health from the hype?
48.102 -> So what should we be
putting in our bodies?
51.003 -> The two things on the hotplate today?
53.984 -> Eggs and coconut oil, and we're joined by
57.51 -> cardiologists Doctor Andrew Freeman,
59.401 -> and Doctor Michael Miller, coauthors
61.002 -> of a controversial new
paper about our diets,
63.574 -> who join us with their findings cause what
66.142 -> I love is we'll start with eggs.
68.301 -> Are they good, are they bad?
70.334 -> Some say yes, some say no,
and I love that you two
73.512 -> as cardiologists came
together and were looking into
75.921 -> foods that we should and shouldn't eat,
77.98 -> but the two of you don't even agree
79.288 -> on eggs which is fascinating!
82.071 -> - Yeah it's an interesting thing.
83.313 -> We actually went to
breakfast this morning,
84.481 -> Michael and I are friends
but we do have different
86.233 -> viewpoints.
- Did you order eggs?
87.3 -> He had eggs, I had oatmeal,
89.409 -> but what I will tell you is that the
91.834 -> U.S. Dietary Guidelines
for Americans came out
93.983 -> just at the end of 2015, and
they now say that you should
96.642 -> consume as little cholesterol as possible
99.434 -> and the average egg has
about 200 milligrams
101.704 -> of cholesterol, so that's one right there.
103.532 -> Some very large studies and
some meta-analysis which
105.863 -> are studies of studies show
that when you eat more eggs
108.664 -> you're more prone to
developing diabetes or
110.84 -> worsen diabetes believe it or not.
113.17 -> And so it seems that eggs
are the most concentrated
115.972 -> source of choline in the American diet,
118.152 -> and that choline in some
studies from Harvard appears
120.912 -> to be linked to prostate cancer,
122.802 -> in other studies seems to
be linked to colon cancer,
125.452 -> and there's a whole
body of evidence that's
127.504 -> now emerging on all the
different biomarkers and
129.483 -> precursors in choline in particular.
131.692 -> - Don't we need choline?
- Yeah, exactly.
133.569 -> - [Doctor Stork] I eat
eggs for the choline.
135.65 -> (Dr. Freeman laughs)
- I mean some people are
136.483 -> seeking choline when they eat
eggs, and then maybe Doctor
138.608 -> Miller you can speak to this cause
140.242 -> I know you have a differing
view of eggs, and so ...
142.963 -> - I have a much different view on eggs,
145.041 -> and as it turns out, first
of all the egg whites
148.152 -> have a lot of protein, and
vitamins, and really good ...
150.931 -> But it's that yolk that
contains some cholesterol,
153.812 -> but what we've come to
appreciate is that the amount
156.331 -> of cholesterol in an egg
has been reduced by about
160.002 -> fifty percent over the course of the last
162.821 -> 30-40 years for a number of reasons.
165.762 -> One was the way cholesterol
was measured in eggs
169.323 -> was not as accurate as
it appears to be now so
172.763 -> in effect the recent
study came out to show
175.294 -> that cholesterol content
in an egg is somewhere
178.071 -> closer to 150-160, and
that continues to improve.
182.509 -> It was about 200 maybe
about 10 years ago, and was
185.98 -> close to 300 back in the 1970s,
189.942 -> but I think the other important point
191.463 -> to consider is the egg yolk,
so you have choline in there.
195.373 -> You also have vitamins,
really good vitamins.
197.768 -> - And you're actually
saying choline in there
198.972 -> is a good thing but, and that's what ...
201.47 -> - [Doctor Miller] So I'm
saying choline is a good thing.
202.728 -> - And this is where the, and
so continue cause this is just
205.162 -> if you weren't confused enough,
now you're more confused
209.301 -> because Doctor Freeman is
saying, "Okay, Choline..."
211.633 -> - Well I think it goes back to
212.831 -> some of the studies though, right?
214.051 -> Because you can cherry-pick
studies sometimes and
216.822 -> you can find what you're
looking for and I think
219.272 -> there's so much controversy about ...
221.231 -> - I would comment though
the choline content in
223.762 -> a lot of these foods you
can get choline from a lot
225.548 -> of sources, this is a
very concentrated source.
227.899 -> You know, a study out of
Harvard just two-and-a-half eggs
230.241 -> per week raises your risk of
prostate cancer by 80 percent
233.95 -> so wouldn't you want to get choline from
235.671 -> something else in a lot
less concentrated source?
238.348 -> - There are other studies that
don't show the same thing.
240.841 -> - I was gonna say that I think
that's my concern is because
243.34 -> I feel like as physicians
we try to keep up with
245.742 -> all of the journals, and
we read but it seems like
248.207 -> every month there's a new
study that comes out that
251.052 -> might contradict a different one.
252.091 -> - The big pincher is The World
Health Organization right?
254.012 -> I see them as sort of the
body of the bodies right,
255.501 -> and so they have done
surveys and analysis.
257.39 -> The last one was of 34
countries, and they show that
259.341 -> people who consume
large amounts of choline
260.93 -> typically in the form of
eggs have much more cancer,
263.709 -> particularly colorectal cancer.
265.491 -> - Back to you Doctor Miller, we'll
267.3 -> have a little back and forth here.
269.875 -> - So the egg yolk also helps
to improve both our vision,
275.346 -> so eye health, brain health, and choline
279.342 -> is a mood enhancer so there are a number
