>>That Kristinas has elevated triglycerides and a number of other abnormal blood test results ?


there was nothing abnormal in her blood test.

she did not fast which is why her triglycerides were higher

Tai:
I am talking about the above statement. That is not fair for you to say and it's also not appropriate to exaggerate. Kristina is her own person. SHe may have learned the ropes from JOhn and Doug, but she is in charge of her life.

I don't want to sweep anything under the rug. I like the truth. But to get to the truth, you cannot afford to exaggerate. If you really think she is in trouble, say it in a professional way, not with mudslinging and without personal attacks.

I said nah to your statement about what I would say to a non raw fooder.

you don't know that at all.
she doesn't eat sugar. she eats fruits and veggies.
the food you eat turns to sugar too.
can be caused by overeating.
may not be a problem at all
it's not independently associated with anything - you can't separate it out from other factors.

see above.


>You and John Rose are two of the few people who believe having high triglycerides is a good thing for a raw vegan, which is just crazy talk, when high triglycerides are a known predictor of increased heart disease risk, again like i say especially coupled with low HDL and high VLDL levels, which can also indicate insulin resistance.

see above

just like you have ignored Tai's asking you to be tactful


>Also your notion that the above research is invalid because it wasn't done on raw food is actually invalid. Carbohydrates and sugars don't tend to differentiate between raw or cooked food states, a simple sugar will always be a simple sugar, regardless if its raw bananas or cooked bananas that you are consuming.

health depends on multiple factors.

I don't see it that way. I understand and accept that you do.

excessive by whom? you can believe who you wish to.

you keep on appealing to who you think are experts. it's a fallacy to do so.

Here are some examples of FLAWED thinking based on a Lack of Knowledge and an Unwillingness and perhaps an Inability to think Outside of the Box…

[www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
“A VLCARB is almost always relatively high in protein. …Although more long-term studies are needed before a firm conclusion can be drawn, it appears, from most literature studied, that a VLCARB is, if anything, protective against muscle protein catabolism during energy restriction, provided that it contains adequate amounts of protein.”
[www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

So according to this article, “relatively high in protein” = “adequate amounts of protein”!

Everyone knows that High Protein Ketogenic Diets are UNSAFE, which is why children with Epilepsy are taken off Ketogenic Diets as soon as possible!!!

[www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
“These results indicate that aerobic endurance exercise by well-trained cyclists was not compromised by four weeks of ketosis. This was accomplished by a dramatic physiologic adaptation that conserved limited carbohydrate stores (both glucose and muscle glycogen) and made fat the predominant muscle substrate at this submaximal power level.”
[www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This study was done in 1983 before we understood that 90% of our calories after 1 hour of Aerobic Exercise come from Fat. So if a well-trained cyclist biked for 4 hours and burned 2,400 Calories, ~1871 of those Calories or ~78% of those Calories would be Fat Calories, so of course, a Low Fat Diet would NOT affect their endurance, especially with all of that extra PROTEIN!!!

<<<Carbohydrate intakes that exceed 50-60% of total calories are considered excessive, high and will lead to increased potential risk of developing metabolic and cardiovascular disorders.>>>

60% of the Calories we burn at rest are Fat, so the other 40% are Carbohydrates. Once we start moving around, we are supposed to be using Carbohydrates, as long as we’ve got them, but if we keep doing the same activity, like walking or biking, we start burning Fat at 20 minutes, at 30 minutes we are burning 50% Fat and at an hour we’re burning 90% Fat.

Now let’s take a look at some different scenarios…

Scenario #1:
2,000 Calories at rest
1,200 Calories of Fat______________60%
__800 Calories of Carbohydrates___40%

Scenario #2:
2,000 Calories at rest
__500 Calories of non-aerobic activity
2,500 Total Calories
1,200 Calories of Fat______________48%
1,300 Calories of Carbohydrates___52%

Scenario #3:
2,000 Calories at rest
1,000 Calories of non-aerobic activity
3,000 Total Calories
1,200 Calories of Fat______________40%
1,800 Calories of Carbohydrates___60%

Scenario #4:
2,000 Calories at rest
2,000 Calories of non-aerobic activity
4,000 Total Calories
1,200 Calories of Fat______________30%
2,800 Calories of Carbohydrates___70%

Scenario #5:
2,000 Calories at rest
2,400 Calories of 4 hours of continuous aerobic activity
4,400 Total Calories
3,071 Calories of Fat______________70%
1,329 Calories of Carbohydrates___30%

As you can see, if you guys don’t do the Calculations, you’ll NEVER make any sense out of all of this!!!

"This scientific statement reviews the pivotal role of triglycerides in lipid metabolism and reaffirms that triglyceride is not directly atherogenic but represents an important biomarker of CVD risk because of its association with atherogenic remnant particles and apo CIII."

As this statement clearly points out..."triglyceride is not directly atherogenic but represents an important biomarker of CVD risk"!

In other words, Triglyceride Levels are only a problem when they are associated with Metabolic Syndrome, which is impossible on a relatively Low Fat Raw Vegan Diet.

<<<Yes triglycerides are not directly atherogenic, however elevated triglycerides represent an important biomarker for predicting increased cardiovascular disease risk.>>>

Here's a much better indicator for Cardiovascular Disease...


Unrefined Plant Food VS The Killer Diseases



One of the very first things I show my students is a graph on page 51 in Dr. Joel Fuhrman's book “Eat to Live,” which when written in 2003, was and may still be the most scientifically referenced health and weight loss book ever written as there are more than 1500 medical references. Dr. Fuhrman has reviewed more than two thousand nutritional research papers in preparation for this book and many more in prior years, and there is not much conflicting evidence.

I love this graph because at one end of the graph we have countries, like Hungary and the United States, that are Consuming ~90% of their Calories from Processed Foods and Animal Products or they are only Consuming ~10% of their Calories from Unrefined Plant Foods and they have a 90% chance of dying from Heart Disease and Cancer. In contrast, at the other end of the graph we have countries, like Laos, that are only Consuming ~5% of their Calories from Processed Foods and Animal Products or they are Consuming ~95% of their Calories from Unrefined Plant Food and they only have a 5% chance of dying from Heart Disease and Cancer.

Imagine playing Russian Roulette where you have a gun with 10 chambers and 9 of them are full or playing Russian Roulette where you have a gun with 20 chambers and 1 of them are full.

As everyone can see, this graph is almost completely symmetrical clearly indicating that we can DRASTICALLY reduce our odds from these Killer Diseases simply by Eating a Whole Foods Plant based Diet.

Once again, let’s take a look at some different scenarios, but this time let’s see what happens when we don’t eat enough Calories as if we are trying to lose weight…

Scenario #1:
2,000 Calories at rest
1,200 Calories of Fat______________60%
__800 Calories of Carbohydrates___40%

Scenario #2:
2,000 Calories at rest
__500 Calories of non-aerobic activity
2,500 Total Calories
1,200 Calories of Fat______________48%
1,300 Calories of Carbohydrates___52%

Scenario #3:
2,000 Calories at rest
1,000 Calories of non-aerobic activity
3,000 Total Calories
1,200 Calories of Fat______________40%
1,800 Calories of Carbohydrates___60%

Scenario #4:
2,000 Calories at rest
2,000 Calories of non-aerobic activity
4,000 Total Calories
1,200 Calories of Fat______________30%
2,800 Calories of Carbohydrates___70%

Scenario #5:
2,000 Calories at rest
2,400 Calories of 4 hours of continuous aerobic activity
4,400 Total Calories
3,071 Calories of Fat______________70%
1,329 Calories of Carbohydrates___30%

In Scenario #1 above, if we want to lose 2 pounds of Fat a week, we have to reduce our Caloric Intake to 1,000 Calories, which means that we have to Consume ~80% of our Calories from Carbohydrates in order to Protect our Lean Body Mass.

In Scenario #2 above, if we want to lose 2 pounds of Fat a week, we have to reduce our Caloric Intake to 1,500 Calories, which means that we have to Consume ~87% of our Calories from Carbohydrates in order to Protect our Lean Body Mass.

In Scenario #3 above, if we want to lose 2 pounds of Fat a week, we have to reduce our Caloric Intake to 2,000 Calories, which means that we have to Consume ~90% of our Calories from Carbohydrates in order to Protect our Lean Body Mass.

In Scenario #4 above, if we want to lose 2 pounds of Fat a week, we have to reduce our Caloric Intake to 3,000 Calories, which means that we have to Consume ~93% of our Calories from Carbohydrates in order to Protect our Lean Body Mass.

In Scenario #5 above, if we want to lose 2 pounds of Fat a week, we have to reduce our Caloric Intake to 3,400 Calories, which means that we have to Consume ~39% of our Calories from Carbohydrates in order to Protect our Lean Body Mass.

As I have pointed out in a previous Post…

“However, if someone is trying to lose weight, especially excess Fat, by Eating Less Calories, they have to reduce their Fat Intake to ensure they don't lose any Lean Body Mass. In fact, there is an inverse ratio as to how much Fat they can Eat and how much Fat they can SAFELY lose! The only other way to protect their Lean Body Mass is to Consume Excess Protein and Consuming Excess Protein is NOT Safe!!!”

In other words, there are only 2 Ways to Protect our Lean Body Mass whenever we are Eating Less Calories than we burn. The 1st Way is to reduce our Fat Intake to Prevent Gluconeogenesis and the 2nd Way is to Consume Excess Protein and Consuming Excess Protein is NOT Safe!!!

The reason I quit hclf was because my lipid panel results were as bad as Kristina's after never having those bad results previous to spending 11 months on that diet. I did not, as I recall, have low HDL but I did have the high triglycerides and high LVDL cholesterol flagged.

Something is REALLY wrong with that picture. What M.D. orders a lipid panel without ordering the VERY routine fasting blood sugar test at the same time?! What above even D- level doctor sends his relatively famous raw vegan public figure YouTuber to get her lab tests without making sure she knows the protocols to follow to insure the expensive tests will not be invalidated - such as not eating before having them preformed?!! It's crazy. It's incredible.

His words and deeds sure shouldn't inspire any confidence in his abilities, IMO. Is he being given an exceedingly rare (for M.D.'s) "good guy" pass in this community simply because he's a vegan? It sure seems so.

I wasn't aware of that but why should it surprise me since everything else about the scenario is so highly, and ridiculously obviously, selective.


I'm far more concerned, though, about these hclf vegan's like Kristina's and Freelee's very young and inexperienced marks ruining their health, (and very possibly their future ability to conceive), by following these self appointed "expert" vegan gurus who are, in essence, qualified mainly in YouTube exhibitionism and salesmanship.

proves my point.

how long would you say it would take for someone with triglycerides at her level to develop problems?

And

[www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

this is the kind of study you are talking about above.

what you refuse to consider is that all factors together impact health.
they are picking out hdl/trig ratio based on the study subjects and coming out with a soundbite that says "the strongest predictor of "
but those subjects are unhealthy overall.
strongest predictor does not mean causative as the statement ignores other factors such as cholesterol level and many other factors that you and they do not consider in your zeal to malign a diet that you didn't do well on.

tell me when robert lockhart is going to have a heart attack. how many decades can one have alleged high triglycerides (since it's inevitable according to you) before something happens? he's already gone 4 decades. what about jr? not old enough yet? seems to me your dire predictions should happen sooner.

You think u have all the answers.
Could just as well be that she has no inflammation on raw diet and study members do yet this variable is hidden and is the real cause.

Just one example.

But if it makes u feel better to think you know in the absence of real negative outcomes in the subject person or any other raw person that's cool

And by the way, (for new member, as as I've said it several times here already), even though it's been around at least a year since I finally got my blood sugar consistently back into normal range on hflc I still, to this day, have high FBS the day after I've tested my safe upper limit of less than 100 grams of carbs. I still am hoping the damage hclf did to my system is not permanent.

>>You are right, she may not have inflammation(true cause of heart disease) due to the high amount of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients she consumes through plant foods.

I am just going to note here that you said "you are right" which in itself was quite amazing to me.

If I may just say that you are diverting from my point by questioning your trust of JR or whoever else. my point is that JR and others eat high fruit for decades yet no overt heart problems. it needs to be explained I would think,altho it's possible that we all have heart problems, it's unlikely.

however there were two who had problems, rev malkmus and there was another raw guy that was interviewed by Jkohler recently but I am not sure of their diets.

and no I really don't see her numbers as a problem. the trig is near borderline and many factors need to be in place to cause an issue imo. plus I really don't know her diet, regarding oils and such and as I said I thought she didn't really fast prior to the test.

there is nothing wrong with her blood test results, as her doctor said.

triglycerides need to be tested in a fasting state. she was not in a fasting state.

so that part of the test is not relevant.

I really cannot believe the BS people spout here about those test results. sproutarian, temp [aka organic1], all of you naysayers have no clue what you're talking about.

"studies say....X" studies say, blah blah.

my lord, what junk.

ALL of her numbers were good.

I'm on the same diet as her and my results are good and my health good, and I'm older than her, so those scaremongering tactics how she is in big trouble, from you anti fruit idiots is such a joke.

and put your blood test results up or be quiet.

Looks like Kristina may be following rose's advise in one area - business. While everyone else makes sure to have their products ready for Christmas time sales Kristina's ewey gooey recipe book won't be released until January ...

Kristina, though, seems to have learned one thing from rose's resounding failed raw vegan goals. At least she managed to squeeze a book out in less that sixty something years.

Here's a prelude to my book once I can think of a clever title and approach for it...

[www.youtube.com]
The Ultimate Solution - Playlist

In this Video Series, John Rose gives the Definitive Answer to 3 of the most important Questions that we face as a Species. John also shares his special Teaching Tool that uses Knowledge in a way that has never been seen before.

In Part 1, John gives his overall perspective based on 25 years of extensive research and analysis.

In Part 2, John goes into more detail about his special Teaching Tool that uses Knowledge in a way that has never been seen before.

In Part 3, John goes into more detail with the Definitive Answer to these 3 Questions by adding 2 Preliminary Questions for the 1st Question and 1 Follow Up Question for the 2nd Question. John also explains that there are many Levels in Plato’s Cave and most people who think they’re out of this Cave of Ignorance are still in the Cave!

In Part 4, John goes into even more detail with the Definitive Answer to these 3 Questions by looking at 12 Sources of False Knowledge and 7 Willingness Factors or 19 Main Obstacles or 19 main reasons why we have 2 forms of Ignorance where we don’t know we don’t know.

In Part 5, John goes into more detail about the 2 Groups of Needs we must Satisfy to Solve Problems that are 100% Within our Control and the 3 Waves of Heroes and the 2 types of Hypo-Heliosis.

In Part 6, John goes into more detail about the 2 Additional Temporary Needs that are based on the Anatomical Limitations from making Mistakes that have Damaged Ourselves, Society and the Environment. John also explains that all of our Problems that are 100% Within our Control begin in childhood and that it only takes one generation to get us back on the Right Path if we can just stop teaching our children the same Mistakes that were taught to us.

In Part 7, John goes into more detail about the 5 things we mastered and the 11 Main Events that drastically Changed the Fate of Mankind.

In Part 8, John goes into more detail about the 3 Ways to Correct 5 Main Mistakes and the 2 forms of Consequences, which are Pieces 41-43 and 44-45, respectively.

In Part 9, John goes into more detail about the 5 False Beliefs about the 5 things we mastered, which are Pieces 46-50.

As a special treat, John also provides a Mathematical Equation, the Performance Equation, to Solve Problems that are 100% Within our Control!

In Part 11, John goes into more detail about the 5 Stages on the Hero’s Journey - The Call, The Option, The Gathering of Allies, The Obstacles, and The Return. John also explains how too much “Junk in the Trunk” aka “Hyper-Colonic-Tension” leads to most of our Diseases, especially Type 2 Diabetes, and how John’s 1st Step activates a Retrograde Flow that causes the system to dump all of the toxins throughout the body into the colon and then, out of the body. John also explains that there are 3 main things we want to accomplish by doing John’s 1st Step and by doing so; we will have successfully completed the 2nd Stage on the Hero’s Journey and that the Ultimate Solution for any Problem that’s 100% Within our Control is the Ultimate Solution for all of our Problems that are 100% Within our Control.

In The Ultimate Schematic, John Rose gives a quick overview of Rose’s 12 Stories and goes into more detail about his special Teaching Tool that uses Knowledge in a way that has never been seen before.

Why is rose spamming so many threads until they are carpet bombed with his ads for himself, his multiple reposted posts, and his large selfies?

We get it chris, you think she is at risk. Not sure what you think you are going to gain by repeating it ad nauseum.

I don't think she is at risk and have explained why.

you still have not explained why many other high fruit people have not had heart attacks yet.

Your classification is for higher than X simple carbs and that it is dangerous.

I know many who fit that and they have not had heart attacks or apparent heart disease.

the fact is you can't explain it.

that doesn't mean that you're wrong, but some of these people are in their 70's as I've said.

a vegan diet is complete with b12 but let's not go down that road.

not saying you should change your diet.

I'm just saying that there is no obvious heart disease in people that I know fit your classification.

your classification in this instance RELATIVE to heart disease is over X amount of simple carbs causing high triglycerides. It has NOTHING to do with someone being a perfect raw vegan.

What I will say is that if I were kristina (from what I recall all my numbers were within range when I had my tests done) I would have another test and insure it was fasting since it's not clear that it was. And I'm not saying that there is NO concern with her test results, I'm just saying that everything considered, it may not be a problem at all. but time will tell.

I am also saying that even though I have not been 100% raw and 100% vegan for 30 years, I do fit your classification that you say SHOULD cause high triglycerides and my test results didn't show that.

and we really don't know WHAT she eats so please don't claim that you do know.

It really could be a problem of excessive oils in the context of a high fruit diet, or simple overeating , or simply having not fasted as she did imply that in her post. or it could be that you are right, but really there is no clear evidence either way to me.

your statement above is a generalization.

you fail to be specific, therefore the statement is false for this instance.

"diets" is not a raw vegan diet

"diets" is not kristina's diet

I don't see any evidence of that. You cannot quote cooked studies to make that statement true. I know you think it doesn't matter but it matters to me.

secondly, we need calories. you will get blood sugar from complex carbs as well. complex carbs are not better. it's only a problem with excess, constantly elevated blood sugar.

neither you nor I know what she eats. could be candy bars for all I know.

yes excess could cause problems but that has not been established.

you are continuing to ignore that complex carbs are not better and the only other place is fats to get calories.

thank you for your time. all conversations increase my knowledge due to facts shared or through further investigation on my part.

yes I know what the recommendation is and I don't agree with it.

seriously?
