Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I'll get at and welcome to another installment of the show.
- 0:03Speaker 1: The show that is your favorite podcast. Well maybe maybe not,
- 0:07Speaker 1: but some of you it's your favorite podcast because you
- 0:09Speaker 1: tell us and thank you. And also, if you're not
- 0:13Speaker 1: a member of the Facebook group that we have, which
- 0:15Speaker 1: is creatively called the You Project Facebook group, I know
- 0:18Speaker 1: Tiff and I worked on that for fucking weeks. We
- 0:21Speaker 1: rang David, he consulted, We had a team pr advertising, branding, marketing.
- 0:28Speaker 1: We came up with that. Feel free to get involved.
- 0:31Speaker 1: And not only is it good because it's a good community,
- 0:33Speaker 1: but David James, Kevin Patrick Gillespie writes articles and puts
- 0:37Speaker 1: some of them up there for your perusal and cognitive
- 0:41Speaker 1: and emotional and psychological digestion.
- 0:45Speaker 2: Tiff High, Hi, feel what You're on fire today?
- 0:51Speaker 1: The only Child? Pick the only Child? You know what?
- 0:55Speaker 1: Last night? Hi, David?
- 0:57Speaker 3: Hey, how's it going?
- 0:58Speaker 1: Graig good? Thank you? Last night I did a workshop
- 1:00Speaker 1: called pre Season twenty twenty five for anyway, just talking
- 1:04Speaker 1: about getting our shit together in the next year, as
- 1:06Speaker 1: we always do before the end of the current year
- 1:09Speaker 1: that we're in. But I had I shouldn't say this,
- 1:15Speaker 1: but fuck it. Whatever, little credibility I have left. I'm
- 1:19Speaker 1: just going to say to the world. Every now and then,
- 1:21Speaker 1: about once a month, I have a nicorette, two milligram
- 1:23Speaker 1: nicorette because it just wow. So last night was the night,
- 1:29Speaker 1: and I also had with me. I had a coffee
- 1:32Speaker 1: and a coke, so I had double caffeine and nicotine.
- 1:38Speaker 1: And I know a lot of my listeners are right
- 1:40Speaker 1: now disappointed. I do not smoke, don't do drugs, don't
- 1:43Speaker 1: do booze. But about once a month I have a
- 1:45Speaker 1: two milligram nickeline.
- 1:47Speaker 3: How could you fit the smoking and the booze in
- 1:49Speaker 3: with all of that?
- 1:50Speaker 1: I know, I know. Fuck. I was on fire. My
- 1:54Speaker 1: brain was just it was just the only problem was
- 1:57Speaker 1: at midnight, when I'm usually three hours into my slumber,
- 2:01Speaker 1: it's fucking noz's to be seen. Do you sleep well?
- 2:06Speaker 1: Go less bo ah?
- 2:08Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 2:09Speaker 1: Usually Do you have a particular you probably don't worry
- 2:13Speaker 1: about it because you know that I reckon two things
- 2:17Speaker 1: that we're going to get to the topic at hand.
- 2:19Speaker 1: But I reckon two things that a lot of people
- 2:21Speaker 1: don't think about because it doesn't affect them, but it
- 2:24Speaker 1: does affect a lot of people. One is a lot
- 2:27Speaker 1: of people don't sleep well, like I reckon maybe half
- 2:30Speaker 1: the population. And the other less glamorous one is that
- 2:34Speaker 1: a lot of people don't shit well. The amount of
- 2:38Speaker 1: people that are constipated that I've worked with over the
- 2:40Speaker 1: last forty years. Tif, do you do both of those?
- 2:44Speaker 3: Well? TI? For you comfortable with him revealing these things
- 2:47Speaker 3: about you?
- 2:47Speaker 2: Well, I notice that he's just gone straight to me
- 2:50Speaker 2: eat it for the public report of my bow movements
- 2:55Speaker 2: quite regularly. Quite good sleep has always been a challenge woman,
- 2:58Speaker 2: But really I've really got on top of that over
- 3:01Speaker 2: the recent times. What have you changed A strong bedtime routine.
- 3:06Speaker 2: I've got to be quite good with that. I mean,
- 3:08Speaker 2: just an early riser always. But if I don't wind
- 3:12Speaker 2: down well and have a routine and get the I've
- 3:16Speaker 2: got to be a nana. If if I'm not winding
- 3:18Speaker 2: down before ten, it is party time in my brain
- 3:22Speaker 2: until at least three am. Wine awake.
- 3:26Speaker 1: Well, don't do caffeine and nicotine before bed.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Well, that's a hard note for me.
- 3:30Speaker 3: It's hard.
- 3:31Speaker 2: It's a lunchtime cut off there.
- 3:34Speaker 3: Yeah, in general, avoid stimulants. I mean, the nicotine and
- 3:41Speaker 3: caffeine are obvious ones, but the ones people don't realize
- 3:45Speaker 3: they're taking on the electronic ones. So you play computer games,
- 3:51Speaker 3: you get on social media, you do some online gambling,
- 3:55Speaker 3: all of those things.
- 3:58Speaker 2: In short, you and the online gambling.
- 4:01Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I know you quite know what
- 4:04Speaker 3: we're talking about here. But you know, Craig might you know,
- 4:06Speaker 3: don't do porn either, just just before you go to sleep.
- 4:12Speaker 3: It's all of these things give you a dopamine spike,
- 4:15Speaker 3: and it's going to make it really hard for your
- 4:17Speaker 3: brain to calm down.
- 4:20Speaker 1: Do you know what I see a lot of is
- 4:24Speaker 1: kids in the gym. Well, think about young Jamie at
- 4:28Speaker 1: the gym, tiff nearly every time you see her, the
- 4:31Speaker 1: Crabs kid. She walks into the gym every day with
- 4:35Speaker 1: a red bull.
- 4:36Speaker 2: I know, in the PM, in the PM.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Yeah, and she's not alone. And I'm not throwing her
- 4:42Speaker 1: under the bus because I would say seventy eighty percent
- 4:46Speaker 1: of the teenage kids that train in the gym they
- 4:49Speaker 1: have some kind of stimulant before they train or after
- 4:53Speaker 1: they train, or both very very and they have this
- 4:56Speaker 1: thing that you may or may not have heard of,
- 4:58Speaker 1: David called and I'm not being facetious, And there's a
- 5:02Speaker 1: whole different, bloody plethora of them. But they call them
- 5:05Speaker 1: pre workout drinks, and basically they're just stimulants, central nervous
- 5:10Speaker 1: system stimulants.
- 5:12Speaker 3: All right, so I canter coke it's.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Yeah, but times four, so it might have instead of
- 5:19Speaker 1: forty grams of caffeine, or have one hundred and sixty
- 5:23Speaker 1: grams of caffeine. I mean, crazy, crazy amounts. But yeah,
- 5:28Speaker 1: these and then I reckon the biggest consumers of those
- 5:33Speaker 1: particular energy drinks are children. Well by that, I mean
- 5:38Speaker 1: people are under twenty, you know, anyone speaking of junk food.
- 5:45Speaker 1: By the way, everyone, if you don't follow the Great Man,
- 5:47Speaker 1: please go to LinkedIn. Follow him on LinkedIn. I follow him.
- 5:51Speaker 1: I look at all the shit he puts up. It's
- 5:53Speaker 1: all good, all the time. And I'm going to be honest.
- 5:57Speaker 1: He doesn't have many followers, So give him, give him
- 6:00Speaker 1: shop out, will you. I mean, it's a little embarrassing
- 6:03Speaker 1: for how good he is. It's a bit underwhelming. So
- 6:06Speaker 1: go and follow him on that and give him a
- 6:07Speaker 1: little bit of love and say I'm here because Jumbo
- 6:10Speaker 1: told me to give you a little bit of love. Here,
- 6:12Speaker 1: I am hey.
- 6:14Speaker 3: Just before we get to the first article, we're going
- 6:17Speaker 3: to talk about coming back to the thing you said
- 6:19Speaker 3: before about bowel movements and sleep. The common thing between
- 6:25Speaker 3: those two is anxiety. So usually sleep disturbance is the
- 6:31Speaker 3: first sign. Often the studies are showing probably two to
- 6:35Speaker 3: three years prior to diagnosis, first sign of anxiety slash
- 6:40Speaker 3: depression is sleep disturbance. Bowel movements is similarly associated with anxiety.
- 6:46Speaker 3: So if you're seeing that, particularly in teenage children, so
- 6:50Speaker 3: difficulties will sleep. Now with teenage children, when you say
- 6:54Speaker 3: difficulties will sleep, it's not going to bit later, which
- 6:57Speaker 3: their brains make them do any way, by virtual being
- 7:00Speaker 3: a teenager, because there's a shift in the metabolic clock
- 7:03Speaker 3: by about two hours during teenage of them, so they
- 7:06Speaker 3: go to bed naturally two hours later than they did
- 7:08Speaker 3: when prior to puberty. But if they have trouble staying
- 7:13Speaker 3: asleep or getting to sleep sort of after eleven o'clock
- 7:17Speaker 3: at night, then it could be a sign of anxiety
- 7:21Speaker 3: and depression. This is important because of a story that
- 7:24Speaker 3: was out today in the papers. I haven't written a
- 7:27Speaker 3: piece about this one yet, Craig, but they found in
- 7:30Speaker 3: this study three quarters of Victorian teenagers have diagnosable have
- 7:35Speaker 3: had a diagnosable clinical anxiety or depression over the last
- 7:40Speaker 3: eight years. Now three quarters of a teenage population sets
- 7:45Speaker 3: a world record. There's no other study that shows that
- 7:49Speaker 3: level of anxiety and depression in teenagers in the world.
- 7:56Speaker 3: We are at the starting edge of a very, very
- 7:59Speaker 3: big of them. And we can come back and talk
- 8:02Speaker 3: about that one in a little while. But I just
- 8:04Speaker 3: thought i'd raise that because it connects those two things
- 8:07Speaker 3: that you mentioned before.
- 8:09Speaker 1: All right, we'll circle back. But I'm very I don't
- 8:12Speaker 1: know about that. I mean, I believe what you're saying,
- 8:15Speaker 1: and I believe what was written, but I don't like
- 8:18Speaker 1: that's the majority of children having diagnosable anxiety then anyway.
- 8:26Speaker 3: Eighty four percent of females between the ages of ten
- 8:29Speaker 3: and eighteen in Victoria.
- 8:30Speaker 1: Does that mean they have consistent anxiety it's a condition,
- 8:35Speaker 1: or they're teenagers and every now and then they get anxious.
- 8:38Speaker 3: Because that what they found was three distinct waves of
- 8:42Speaker 3: its three annual occurrences in that age group ten to
- 8:47Speaker 3: eighteen year olds that were met the criteria for clinical diagnosis.
- 8:54Speaker 3: So not just a bit worried, but clinical diagnosis of anxiety.
- 8:59Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, I don't know what the solution is to that.
- 9:02Speaker 3: Obviously there is a solution, take all the devices away.
- 9:06Speaker 3: That's easy. Do you reckon It's only that I think
- 9:12Speaker 3: that's the majority of it. I mean, there's some other
- 9:14Speaker 3: things laid in on that, because the other thing that
- 9:16Speaker 3: causes the same response in the brain is not just addiction.
- 9:21Speaker 3: Remember there's also uncertainty. Well, uncertainty magnifies both addiction and danger.
- 9:27Speaker 3: But there's danger, and danger can be in the form
- 9:30Speaker 3: of addictive things, so like gambling apps that simulate danger,
- 9:35Speaker 3: or gaming apps that simulate danger, or it can be
- 9:39Speaker 3: in the form of chronic stress, like a family that
- 9:42Speaker 3: isn't sure whether there's going to be enough money to
- 9:44Speaker 3: pay the rent every week, or the COVID nineteen shut
- 9:48Speaker 3: down and lockdown things created enormous amounts of chronic stress.
- 9:54Speaker 3: But that research tried to adjust for COVID in these
- 9:58Speaker 3: numbers and found that it couldn't be a tribut to COVID.
- 10:01Speaker 3: So whilst it may well have had a contributory effect,
- 10:04Speaker 3: and all of those lockdown things could have contributed to it,
- 10:08Speaker 3: they said it was there before that happened, So that
- 10:12Speaker 3: tells you it's something much much earlier that's been going
- 10:15Speaker 3: on noting that we've only had really access to social media,
- 10:20Speaker 3: online gambling, online gaming, and ready access to pornography probably
- 10:25Speaker 3: only the last fourteen years to teenagers. So it's those
- 10:30Speaker 3: kids that we're starting to see the results from.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Just we'll come back straight away. But I remember about
- 10:38Speaker 1: three months ago or four months ago, you were talking
- 10:41Speaker 1: about this TV show called Friday Night Lights and how
- 10:43Speaker 1: the first season was two thousand and eight, and I
- 10:47Speaker 1: think the last season, which is season five, was two
- 10:50Speaker 1: thousand and twelve or thirteen something like that. Yeah, it's
- 10:53Speaker 1: five seasons, and then in between season one and season
- 10:57Speaker 1: five was the advent of smart phones. But I'm both
- 11:03Speaker 1: happy with you and mad at you because I've watched
- 11:06Speaker 1: all five seasons now.
- 11:09Speaker 3: And you enjoy it. I did it.
- 11:11Speaker 1: It's just like this simple little like it's it's about
- 11:16Speaker 1: football everyone, but it's not. It's about this town and
- 11:20Speaker 1: this coach and this family and the players, and it's
- 11:23Speaker 1: very much like a sociological exploration of relationships and connection
- 11:29Speaker 1: and adversity. And but I liked it because it's not
- 11:34Speaker 1: I don't like watching things that are scary, like like
- 11:42Speaker 1: I don't mind a bit of like action and like
- 11:46Speaker 1: war movies or but stuff that's like horror and stuff
- 11:49Speaker 1: that you know, puts my blood pressure through the roof
- 11:52Speaker 1: and then I can't fucking sleep. I like watching things
- 11:55Speaker 1: that are nice to watch.
- 11:57Speaker 3: But the thing about this show, I mean, it's not
- 11:59Speaker 3: Gilmore Girls, right, so it's not that night to watch.
- 12:02Speaker 3: Is what they tend to do in that show, and
- 12:06Speaker 3: I think they do it really, really well, is those teenagers.
- 12:10Speaker 3: And it's about kids who are you know, sort of
- 12:12Speaker 3: grade twelve age in high school. Those teenagers do just
- 12:18Speaker 3: about everything wrong, like they you know, one of them
- 12:21Speaker 3: gets pregnant, they're experimenting with drugs, they're driving illegally, they're
- 12:26Speaker 3: stealing alcohol, even someone a little more criminal than that.
- 12:30Speaker 3: And what's great about it is that it shows you
- 12:34Speaker 3: the things that were dangerous before kids had phones and
- 12:39Speaker 3: didn't need to bother. All of those all of those
- 12:44Speaker 3: things now have about halved or less in incidents since
- 12:49Speaker 3: the advent of smartphones. So risk taking, real world risk taking,
- 12:54Speaker 3: has half. There's much less team pregnancy, much less public drunkenness,
- 12:58Speaker 3: much less dangerous activity, much less law breaking. But the
- 13:02Speaker 3: reason is because the kids are all in their bedrooms
- 13:04Speaker 3: addicted to their devices and the damage there is much
- 13:08Speaker 3: more severe because now it's not a few adventurous kids
- 13:12Speaker 3: who do that, and in that show, there's a couple
- 13:15Speaker 3: or two or three that are always doing the wrong
- 13:18Speaker 3: thing and everyone else is pretty much okay. Now it's
- 13:21Speaker 3: everybody all the time using addictive devices. And what we're
- 13:27Speaker 3: seeing is that fly through because if people say, oh, well,
- 13:30Speaker 3: so what keep them busy? Shuts them up. That's what
- 13:33Speaker 3: you want from teenagers, except when it results in seventy
- 13:38Speaker 3: five percent of them having diagnosable anxiety.
- 13:42Speaker 1: Yeah. But like when I said to you, what's the solution,
- 13:46Speaker 1: you said, get rid of the devices, which theoretically, but
- 13:49Speaker 1: we know that's not going to happen. So what's the solo.
- 13:52Speaker 3: Well, the solution is call them out for what they are.
- 13:56Speaker 3: Name them so it's not the device, it's two or three,
- 14:00Speaker 3: three or four apps explicitly designed to addict humans that
- 14:05Speaker 3: are on those devices. Call them out, name them, ban them.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Well, I wonder if that's going to happen. And of course,
- 14:15Speaker 1: Victoria was I think the first state in the world
- 14:19Speaker 1: or to ban social media for kids under sixteen, and
- 14:26Speaker 1: that made kind of global headlines. So I don't know.
- 14:30Speaker 3: But the thing about that is people always say, ah,
- 14:34Speaker 3: that's not going to work that, you know, they know.
- 14:36Speaker 3: You've ever seen kids who want to get to something,
- 14:38Speaker 3: they'll get they'll find a way, and they will. But
- 14:42Speaker 3: that law makes the conversation at the breakfast table a
- 14:46Speaker 3: hell of a lot easier for a parent if they can
- 14:49Speaker 3: say no, you're not doing it because it's against the law, yes,
- 14:53Speaker 3: rather than all day arguing about it.
- 14:56Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, speaking of things
- 15:03Speaker 1: that are not good for us, So you wrote or
- 15:06Speaker 1: you posted an article about ultraprocessed foods and foods that
- 15:13Speaker 1: are high in seed oils and the potential relationship with
- 15:17Speaker 1: colon cancer.
- 15:19Speaker 3: Yeah, so I don't like the term ultraprocessed foods. That's
- 15:21Speaker 3: the term the article used, But I don't like it
- 15:24Speaker 3: because just about everything we eat it's the definition of
- 15:27Speaker 3: ultra processed food. I mean, if you didn't pick the
- 15:30Speaker 3: apple yourself, or you know, chop up the cow yourself,
- 15:34Speaker 3: then it's probably pretty ultra processed. So but the point
- 15:40Speaker 3: about this study and the reason I posted it is
- 15:43Speaker 3: for a long time I've been banging on. I wrote
- 15:45Speaker 3: a book about this in I don't know twenty fourteen,
- 15:47Speaker 3: called Toxic oils, and there was a follow up a
- 15:50Speaker 3: few years later, and I've written a few other books
- 15:52Speaker 3: about it too. But the evidence has always been a
- 15:56Speaker 3: little bit inferential in the sense that it suggests that
- 16:00Speaker 3: there's a problem, it suggests there's a link to cancer,
- 16:03Speaker 3: it suggests this is probably not a good idea, but
- 16:06Speaker 3: there hasn't been loads of high quality studies linking these things.
- 16:11Speaker 3: Now I've made the linkages in my books and said
- 16:14Speaker 3: there's enough evidence there for us to call this one okay.
- 16:17Speaker 3: On the precautionary principle, we should be really really careful
- 16:21Speaker 3: about putting this stuff in our food supply, particularly in
- 16:24Speaker 3: the kinds of quantities we are. So what are we
- 16:26Speaker 3: talking about. We're talking about everything that you know. They're
- 16:30Speaker 3: commonly called seed oils. A lot of your listeners might
- 16:33Speaker 3: know them as vegetable oils because that's how they're labeled
- 16:35Speaker 3: on the packs. So this is canola, sunflower oil, soybean oil,
- 16:41Speaker 3: cottonseed oil, grape seed oil, rice brand oil, all those
- 16:45Speaker 3: sorts of things. They're very very high in something called
- 16:48Speaker 3: amega six fats. And I've said for a while and
- 16:53Speaker 3: many other people have too, our bodies aren't built for
- 16:57Speaker 3: that level of amiga six fats. Omega six is are
- 16:59Speaker 3: the pro inflammatory fats, so amiga three people often know
- 17:03Speaker 3: amiga three fish oils and so on as being anti inflammatory. Well,
- 17:06Speaker 3: the anti inflammatory that the omiga three is fighting is
- 17:09Speaker 3: the information caused by the amega six So we have
- 17:14Speaker 3: a lot of these in our diet now. All the
- 17:16Speaker 3: fast food restaurants, I mean McDonald's in Australia switched in
- 17:18Speaker 3: two thousand and four from animal fat to these things.
- 17:22Speaker 3: I think they use canola. All the rest of them followed,
- 17:25Speaker 3: and the last I think to faur was KFC in
- 17:27Speaker 3: twenty twelve when they switched over to canola from their
- 17:32Speaker 3: palm oil I think is what they were using, which
- 17:34Speaker 3: is fine. So it's now everywhere anything fried in anything
- 17:40Speaker 3: is fried in these oils. If you look at the
- 17:42Speaker 3: fat on the label of any food on a supermarket shelf,
- 17:45Speaker 3: it's going to be one of these oils, often just
- 17:47Speaker 3: ascribed as vegetable oil that an't too exactly what it is,
- 17:49Speaker 3: but it is now getting to the point. I know
- 17:53Speaker 3: you're desperate for me to eventually find a point in
- 17:55Speaker 3: all of this. This study is the interesting thing. It
- 18:01Speaker 3: This study nails it what they did was they analyzed
- 18:05Speaker 3: colon cancer. So they analyzed the tunas the tuners, no
- 18:11Speaker 3: fish were involved. They analyzed the tumors of sufferers of
- 18:16Speaker 3: colon cancer and they found excessive quantities of amiga six fats,
- 18:22Speaker 3: and they also found a mechanism to explain it. They
- 18:25Speaker 3: found that the Omega six fats encouraged the tumor growth
- 18:30Speaker 3: and suppressed the anti anti tumor activity that the body
- 18:36Speaker 3: naturally had.
- 18:37Speaker 1: Okay, hit the brakes, just say that. I know what
- 18:41Speaker 1: you said, but just say that last bit again. What
- 18:44Speaker 1: did they find.
- 18:45Speaker 3: They found that the Amiga six fats in these tumors
- 18:51Speaker 3: encouraged the tumor growth and suppressed the body's natural defenses
- 18:56Speaker 3: against it back. And the reason this is important is
- 19:02Speaker 3: if you look at the statistics on colorectal cancer or
- 19:07Speaker 3: colon cancer, whatever you want to call it, colorectal cancer
- 19:12Speaker 3: in the United States and in Australia, it's now the
- 19:15Speaker 3: second biggest killer, second biggest killer behind lung cancer, by
- 19:21Speaker 3: the way, which we can talk about another day, which
- 19:23Speaker 3: is an interesting one all on its own because nobody
- 19:26Speaker 3: smokes anymore. But we'll come back to that one. But
- 19:29Speaker 3: this is now the second biggest killer, and if you
- 19:32Speaker 3: look at people under the age of fifty, it is
- 19:37Speaker 3: growing exponentially and there is no explanation for this from
- 19:43Speaker 3: the scientific consensus. So if you look at the Australian
- 19:45Speaker 3: statistics and look at people under forty in Australia in
- 19:50Speaker 3: nineteen eighty two, there are eleven point seven people per
- 19:54Speaker 3: hundred thousand. Now sorry, there were three point seven people
- 19:57Speaker 3: one hundred thousand. Now there are eleven point seven per
- 20:00Speaker 3: hundred thousand. So it is tripled in that period of time. Now,
- 20:06Speaker 3: for anything to triple, I mean we want it going backwards.
- 20:10Speaker 3: I mean we got flat to backwards is what we're
- 20:13Speaker 3: aiming for here. With cancer tripled in people under forty
- 20:18Speaker 3: is terrible, absolutely terrible, and that the scientific community has
- 20:25Speaker 3: no explanation for that is even worse. These guys have
- 20:29Speaker 3: found an explanation. It's an explanation that's been there for
- 20:32Speaker 3: a while in books like the ones I wrote, and
- 20:35Speaker 3: other people are speculated about it and said, hang on,
- 20:38Speaker 3: why are cancers that are anywhere along the digestive tracked
- 20:44Speaker 3: going bananas in younger people because it's not just colorect
- 20:49Speaker 3: or this thyroid cancer, et cetera. Et cetera. And I
- 20:52Speaker 3: have connected dots and others have too and said it's
- 20:56Speaker 3: the Amiga six fats. We've introduced massive quantit it is
- 21:00Speaker 3: of them into our diet. They are pro cancer elements.
- 21:04Speaker 3: That's what's causing this. This study puts a pin in
- 21:07Speaker 3: it and says, actually we think it might.
- 21:12Speaker 1: All right, I just want to Okay, great, So now
- 21:15Speaker 1: some people are listening to this and they're a bit terrified,
- 21:18Speaker 1: which is not the worst thing. So just while we're
- 21:21Speaker 1: in this moment of improved awareness around this, and again,
- 21:26Speaker 1: remember everyone, this is just people talking. This is not
- 21:29Speaker 1: a prescription. But just tell people. I know we've done
- 21:33Speaker 1: it a few times, but there'll be people who've never
- 21:36Speaker 1: heard of you and this will be their first time
- 21:38Speaker 1: with you. And there'll be people who have heard this
- 21:42Speaker 1: list before, but forget it. So what is on the acceptable,
- 21:47Speaker 1: what's on the David Gillespie yes list in terms of oils,
- 21:51Speaker 1: and what's on the no list?
- 21:53Speaker 3: Okay, So what we're aiming for here is you need
- 21:57Speaker 3: fat in your diet. No fat, no diet, right, so
- 21:59Speaker 3: you need to adding your diet. But what you want
- 22:02Speaker 3: to aim for is fats that are very, very low
- 22:05Speaker 3: in these Amiga six fats. So now they come from
- 22:08Speaker 3: one place, which is plants. In the modern industrial diet,
- 22:13Speaker 3: they come from things labeled as vegetable oils. No vegetables
- 22:17Speaker 3: were harmed in their construction. They actually come from seeds.
- 22:21Speaker 3: So the things you want to avoid are fats that
- 22:24Speaker 3: come from seeds. So we're talking about canola, sunflour, grape seed,
- 22:32Speaker 3: rice brand, a lot of the nut based ones like
- 22:36Speaker 3: almonds and so on. Those are things that you've got
- 22:40Speaker 3: to avoid because they in general tend to be high
- 22:43Speaker 3: in Amiga six fats.
- 22:44Speaker 1: What about whole almonds versus just because somebody on the
- 22:49Speaker 1: call eats almonds every day.
- 22:51Speaker 3: Whole almonds are okay, You've just got to be careful
- 22:54Speaker 3: how many you eat. And I published a table in
- 22:57Speaker 3: one of my books that actually calculated how many could
- 23:00Speaker 3: eat and not exceed the allowance of Amiga six fats.
- 23:03Speaker 3: I'll shoot it through you after the show and you
- 23:05Speaker 3: can put it up if you want, but it's I
- 23:08Speaker 3: can't remember what the number was for almonds, but all
- 23:12Speaker 3: of them were sort of reasonable numbers. You could eat
- 23:14Speaker 3: reasonable numbers as long as you know they weren't the
- 23:16Speaker 3: primary constituent of your meal every day, then you're probably
- 23:20Speaker 3: okay because you're eating a lot of other stuff besides
- 23:23Speaker 3: the fat, when you're chomping through whole armor. When you
- 23:26Speaker 3: grind them, when you grind them up and use them
- 23:28Speaker 3: as flour and everything you cork, or when you turn
- 23:31Speaker 3: them into a paste and spread them in on everything,
- 23:34Speaker 3: then that's a different thing altogether. So I'll send you that, but.
- 23:42Speaker 1: Just quick, sorry, just quickly, because I try to think,
- 23:45Speaker 1: if I'm a listener, what do I want to ask?
- 23:47Speaker 1: So I'm guessing regular peanut butter, I mean regular peanut
- 23:52Speaker 1: butter off the shelf at Safeway and more worse, doesn't
- 23:56Speaker 1: get the tick.
- 23:57Speaker 3: It depends a lot on the brand, is what I found.
- 24:01Speaker 3: Like when you actually do the analysis of the data
- 24:03Speaker 3: they are forced to put on the label, and I
- 24:05Speaker 3: have done that, it really depends a lot on the brand.
- 24:09Speaker 3: So some brands are okay, others are not. And it's
- 24:14Speaker 3: because many of them don't use actual peanuts. They use
- 24:20Speaker 3: I don't know what the term they use for it is,
- 24:22Speaker 3: but basically deconstituted peanut powder and then they reconstitute it
- 24:26Speaker 3: with other fats. So if you careful, if you have
- 24:31Speaker 3: a look at the label and it just says the
- 24:33Speaker 3: ingredients are peanuts. You're probably good, but have a close
- 24:37Speaker 3: look at the label. Don't make assumptions about what these
- 24:39Speaker 3: things are made out of. Just because I said peanuts
- 24:41Speaker 3: on the front doesn't mean that's what it's made of.
- 24:45Speaker 3: So yeah, look, be careful with peanuts. Their borderline. Things
- 24:52Speaker 3: that aren't borderline.
- 24:54Speaker 1: Tell us what okay on the to do that on
- 24:57Speaker 1: the the okay list. So we know, butter, think lard,
- 25:01Speaker 1: I think.
- 25:02Speaker 3: Anything from an animal. So all animal fats are fine.
- 25:05Speaker 3: So but lard, tallow, rendered, beef, rendered, you know, an
- 25:10Speaker 3: All animal fats are fine.
- 25:12Speaker 1: What about the what about the crackling that I'm going
- 25:14Speaker 1: to eat off the pig at chrissy.
- 25:17Speaker 3: Yeah, look it's it's it's okay. Pig fat is a
- 25:21Speaker 3: bit of a problem in Australia because I think it's
- 25:23Speaker 3: around ninety percent of our peaks are raised in you know,
- 25:30Speaker 3: industrial form, not on they're not free range, and and
- 25:35Speaker 3: those ones have fed a lot of grain, and because
- 25:38Speaker 3: they're omnivores, that grain contains a lot of Amiga six
- 25:42Speaker 3: and it ends up in their fat as a Mega
- 25:44Speaker 3: six fat. So so this is the only point where
- 25:48Speaker 3: I agree with standard Heart Foundation advice, which is, if
- 25:51Speaker 3: you're going to eat pig like in bacon or pork
- 25:54Speaker 3: of any description, trimm it, take the fat off because
- 25:57Speaker 3: that fat, if it's you know, if it's farm, if
- 26:00Speaker 3: it's not free range, that fat probably contains a large
- 26:03Speaker 3: amount of a Mega six fat. And in Australia, if
- 26:08Speaker 3: it doesn't explicitly say it's free range, it's not, because
- 26:11Speaker 3: most pork in Australia is not free range. Pigs, by
- 26:16Speaker 3: the way, if left to their own devices, don't eat grain.
- 26:21Speaker 3: They roam around, they eat a lot of things, but
- 26:23Speaker 3: they don't go and choose to eat grain. But far
- 26:26Speaker 3: you know, the battery pigs or whatever they're called, they're
- 26:29Speaker 3: given a lot of grain. So to be avoided eat
- 26:34Speaker 3: still eat the pork, chop the fat off, and if
- 26:37Speaker 3: you're going to eat crackling, do it once a year,
- 26:39Speaker 3: I would have thought is probably reasonable advice. But coming
- 26:44Speaker 3: back so, animal fats in general though, are pretty good
- 26:47Speaker 3: any kind of beef milk, but anything from a cow
- 26:49Speaker 3: is going to be good because ruminants like cows and
- 26:51Speaker 3: goats and sheep actually don't store a mega six fats
- 26:55Speaker 3: in any serious quantity, so you don't even have to
- 26:57Speaker 3: worry about the fat on those animals. No matter how
- 27:01Speaker 3: much people might tell you you've got to have you know,
- 27:03Speaker 3: fast raised or you know, all that sort of nonsense,
- 27:06Speaker 3: it doesn't really matter with ruminants. Now, if we talk
- 27:10Speaker 3: about people say, oh, yeah, great, but I'm a vegan
- 27:12Speaker 3: or a vegetarian and I don't I can't eat all
- 27:14Speaker 3: that stuff. What can I eat? The answer is there
- 27:17Speaker 3: are some that feed into there. So there's a couple
- 27:21Speaker 3: of fats that mimic the fat profile of animal fat,
- 27:24Speaker 3: soalm oil, coconut oil, and they're they're they're fine. They
- 27:31Speaker 3: actually look when you're doing an analysis of them, they
- 27:34Speaker 3: have rough for the same analysis as animal fat. No
- 27:36Speaker 3: concern with those. There's an in between category which I
- 27:39Speaker 3: call fruit oils, which are also I would say fine
- 27:42Speaker 3: as long as you're not eating vast quantities of them.
- 27:44Speaker 3: So these are fruit oil. So this is olive oil,
- 27:48Speaker 3: for example, is a fruit oil. Avocado oil is another
- 27:51Speaker 3: fruit oil. And there's one nut oil which is absolutely
- 27:55Speaker 3: fine for some reason, macadamia nut oil, which has a
- 28:00Speaker 3: fat profile very very similar to animal fat.
- 28:04Speaker 1: Now, Tiff, I'm guessing from the screwed up look on
- 28:07Speaker 1: your face. There's not going to be a lot of
- 28:09Speaker 1: pork crackling going down your gob over the next week.
- 28:13Speaker 2: Definitely not. And I feel sad for the little peace.
- 28:17Speaker 2: It made me feel sad thinking of the poor little bites.
- 28:20Speaker 1: It's just that is. It is sad. That is the
- 28:24Speaker 1: That is how a lot of farming works there is.
- 28:27Speaker 1: It is not a I don't want to be a downer,
- 28:30Speaker 1: but yeah, it's not a great existence. What okay, you
- 28:36Speaker 1: know what's interesting, David? I mean, all of this is fascinating,
- 28:39Speaker 1: but like it's literally it's literally been flipped. Like we
- 28:44Speaker 1: the last twenty years, we've been told, you know, time
- 28:47Speaker 1: and time and time again, no animal fats, like avoid
- 28:52Speaker 1: animal fats like that. It's like that's what's going to
- 28:55Speaker 1: kill you, animal fats, and you're going, no, fuck that.
- 28:59Speaker 1: There the ones that are going to say, like, it's
- 29:02Speaker 1: not only is it have we been misinformed? We've been
- 29:07Speaker 1: you know, if you're accurate and these people are accurate,
- 29:10Speaker 1: which I believe you are and they are, is just
- 29:13Speaker 1: my thoughts. Everyone, then we've actually been told the opposite
- 29:18Speaker 1: of what is true.
- 29:20Speaker 3: Yeah, And thinking about the time frame it was in
- 29:23Speaker 3: the early eighties that they started telling us that. Yeah,
- 29:26Speaker 3: and from that point these statistics have gone crazy on
- 29:31Speaker 3: cancer incidents. So and it's all well and good. You know,
- 29:36Speaker 3: people will say, oh, correlation does an equal causation. You
- 29:39Speaker 3: don't know what you're talking about, Gillespie. Sure, But then
- 29:42Speaker 3: you see studies like this starting to hit the press saying, actually,
- 29:46Speaker 3: we've done the digging, we've done the analysis, and it
- 29:49Speaker 3: looks like this could be true. You know that to me,
- 29:53Speaker 3: says Okay, now you really do need to step back,
- 29:57Speaker 3: because now it's not just a theory, it's being shown
- 30:01Speaker 3: to be implicated in the development of cancer.
- 30:03Speaker 1: Mm hmmm mmm yeah. Tip you eat. You're a carnival,
- 30:09Speaker 1: aren't you.
- 30:10Speaker 2: I'm omnivore. Yeah, yeah, I do love a steak. And
- 30:15Speaker 2: you know what, I really love Christmas ham.
- 30:19Speaker 3: You know that comes from little piggies too.
- 30:21Speaker 2: Know what a dichotomy?
- 30:25Speaker 1: Well, listen to you, which do you feel a little bit?
- 30:29Speaker 1: I'm not trying to I just I feel like you
- 30:32Speaker 1: must be a little bit conflicted because you're such an
- 30:35Speaker 1: animal lover.
- 30:36Speaker 3: It does it? Does?
- 30:37Speaker 2: I feel like if I did go down the rabbit hole,
- 30:40Speaker 2: it would affect Someone was talking about cooking duck the
- 30:43Speaker 2: other day, and I was in my mind assessing my
- 30:46Speaker 2: difference with thinking of a little ducky how cool of ducks?
- 30:50Speaker 2: I was like, oh, you can't make a duck stew.
- 30:54Speaker 2: Leave them alone, And then I think about the poor chickens.
- 30:57Speaker 1: You know what's funny is how we anthropomorph animals and
- 31:01Speaker 1: we we rationalize. It's like we can rationalize eating tuna,
- 31:06Speaker 1: which is a thing that swims around the ocean. But
- 31:09Speaker 1: imagine if I said, you know, I'm having dolphin for dinner,
- 31:13Speaker 1: people would be like fucking hysterical. You go, well, it's
- 31:16Speaker 1: just another thing in the ocean, and yeah, I know,
- 31:20Speaker 1: but it's cute and smart and so all right, so
- 31:23Speaker 1: if it's ugly and dumb, we can eat it. But
- 31:25Speaker 1: if it's cute and smart, you know. And I'm not
- 31:28Speaker 1: recommending anything, but it is just funny the stories that
- 31:31Speaker 1: we like. Whatever we do, we rationalize it.
- 31:34Speaker 3: Well, no one ever made a show about a tuna
- 31:36Speaker 3: called Flipper or something exactly.
- 31:38Speaker 1: That's my point. That's my You know, there is a
- 31:44Speaker 1: book this I think it was called Tubby Tubby Tuna.
- 31:50Speaker 1: Oh no, maybe I'm wrong, I do. I think there was,
- 31:54Speaker 1: but yeah, you're right. It's like, do you know that
- 31:57Speaker 1: that people overseas are horror fired that Australians eat kangaroo?
- 32:02Speaker 3: Yeah? Absolutely, Look I lived in Germany for a little
- 32:05Speaker 3: while and they were really horrified at the thought that
- 32:09Speaker 3: we would and that we had to cull them, and
- 32:12Speaker 3: so even worse than eating them was killing them and
- 32:15Speaker 3: not eating them. Yeah. No, they're very horrified because they're
- 32:20Speaker 3: so cute.
- 32:21Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. We were going to do more, but we're
- 32:25Speaker 1: going to let you off the hook because that was
- 32:27Speaker 1: a solidivity minutes and.
- 32:30Speaker 3: As always, banging on forever about things.
- 32:33Speaker 1: Always good mate. I've got a question or two to
- 32:35Speaker 1: ask you off air, so stick around, but for now, mate,
- 32:38Speaker 1: we we appreciate you. Thank you so much for everything
- 32:42Speaker 1: you do. I know that I don't know if you
- 32:44Speaker 1: enjoy it or not. I think you do a little bit.
- 32:45Speaker 3: Wouldn't do it if I didn't.
- 32:47Speaker 1: I think you tolerate it more than celebrate it. But
- 32:50Speaker 1: you just feel sorry for me and Tiff. Thanks mate,
- 32:54Speaker 1: We appreciate you. Thanks for everything that you've done this year,
- 32:56Speaker 1: and maybe I have a great Chrissy with the fam
- 32:59Speaker 1: and a great new year.
- 33:00Speaker 3: Yeah, same to you guys.
- 33:02Speaker 1: Thanks mate, thanks DEEV, Thanks Boys, no talk for you.
