Detecting language using up to the first 30 seconds. Use `--language` to specify the language Detected language: English [00:00.000 --> 00:02.000] Welcome to the show. [00:02.000 --> 00:07.620] Because I consider a free press one of the bulwarks of a free society, it irks the hell [00:07.620 --> 00:13.840] out of me when I see the press abusing their constitutionally protected status by blatantly [00:13.840 --> 00:16.020] lying to the American people. [00:16.020 --> 00:22.520] My reaction goes from irritation to anger when media lies may result in physical harm, [00:22.520 --> 00:25.440] as in the media lie I'm going to share with you right now. [00:30.440 --> 00:33.640] The Dr. Reality Vodcast with Dave Champion. [00:41.640 --> 00:42.640] Let's start with this. [00:42.640 --> 00:47.920] I'm the author of Body Science, a groundbreaking book on human physiology that is healing disease [00:47.920 --> 00:50.560] and saving lives every day. [00:50.560 --> 00:56.080] It does that by utterly destroying the disinformation that's flooded the American consciousness [00:56.080 --> 01:00.920] for 60 years and explaining the truth about nutritional physiology. [01:00.920 --> 01:03.400] How our bodies really work. [01:03.400 --> 01:07.120] Being committed to getting the truth out to my fellow man, you can imagine what I think [01:07.120 --> 01:12.800] when I see reporters saying obscenely inaccurate things which, if believed by their readers [01:12.800 --> 01:16.960] or viewers, may result in illness or premature death. [01:16.960 --> 01:24.260] I was recently appalled by an article on Livestrong.com entitled The Connection Between Carbohydrates [01:24.260 --> 01:29.180] and Sinus Problems, written by registered nurse Krista Sheehan. [01:29.180 --> 01:33.860] Here is the part of the article that contains shockingly false information. [01:54.900 --> 02:00.380] is less than 20 grams per day, a condition known as ketosis could develop. [02:00.380 --> 02:04.300] This condition occurs when the body does not have enough sugar to produce energy. [02:04.300 --> 02:09.060] As a result, it begins destroying your fat stores to create glucose. [02:09.060 --> 02:13.740] As fat breaks down, ketones are produced and accumulate in your body. [02:13.740 --> 02:18.340] Immediate symptoms of ketosis include nausea, headache, fatigue, and foul breath. [02:18.340 --> 02:21.300] If left untreated, ketosis can be life-threatening. [02:21.300 --> 02:25.620] Close quote. [02:25.620 --> 02:32.180] I want to break down those insane falsehoods, but before we do, let's see what Livestrong [02:32.180 --> 02:36.580] has to say on its website about its editorial standards. [02:36.580 --> 02:45.540] Quote, Livestrong.com delivers trusted health nutrition and fitness information. [02:45.540 --> 02:47.780] Trusted health. [02:47.780 --> 02:52.100] After I've broken down Ms. Sheehan's statement, you be the judge of how much you [02:52.100 --> 02:53.740] trust Livestrong. [02:53.740 --> 02:59.460] Quote, the comprehensive articles we publish take considerable time to research and fact [02:59.460 --> 03:04.060] check, which is why you won't find breaking news on our site. [03:04.060 --> 03:09.300] When we're done looking at Ms. Sheehan's claims, you be the judge of whether Livestrong [03:09.300 --> 03:14.540] did any research or conducted any fact checking. [03:14.540 --> 03:18.100] Let's debunk Nurse Sheehan's statements one by one. [03:18.100 --> 03:23.220] The first assertion she makes is that, quote, a low carbohydrate diet may cause headaches, [03:23.220 --> 03:27.460] dizziness, fatigue, muscle weakness, nausea, diarrhea, and constipation. [03:27.460 --> 03:33.500] Now remember, Sheehan is saying the Mayo Clinic said these things. [03:33.500 --> 03:37.220] So what did the Mayo Clinic really say? [03:37.220 --> 03:41.820] In an article entitled, Low Carb Diet, Can It Help You Lose Weight? [03:41.820 --> 03:46.920] The Mayo Clinic staff wrote the following about what it perceives as possible risks [03:46.920 --> 03:53.300] from a low carb diet, quote, a sudden and large drop in carbs can cause short-term side [03:53.300 --> 03:57.780] effects such as constipation, headache, muscle cramps. [03:57.780 --> 04:03.660] You will notice the Mayo Clinic staff cited just three side effects and made it clear [04:03.660 --> 04:10.380] they are short-term, while Sheehan completely omitted the Mayo Clinic's reference to short-term. [04:10.380 --> 04:14.420] What's the truth behind the Mayo Clinic's claims of short-term constipation, headache, [04:14.420 --> 04:15.620] or muscle cramps? [04:15.620 --> 04:22.160] First, we have to remember that the establishment does not want people to go on a low carb ketogenic [04:22.160 --> 04:27.420] diet so they represent as much negative material as they can about it, the vast majority being [04:27.420 --> 04:29.260] disinformation. [04:29.260 --> 04:34.820] When you shift from glucose, a condition in which your cells burn glucose for energy, [04:34.820 --> 04:39.940] into ketosis, where your cells burn predominantly fatty acids for energy, there are a couple [04:39.940 --> 04:44.020] of days during which you don't feel amazing because your cells are accustomed to burning [04:44.020 --> 04:49.340] glucose for energy and you're depriving them of high blood glucose by cutting your carb [04:49.340 --> 04:50.500] intake. [04:50.500 --> 04:54.780] Some folks may get a bit of a headache, most don't. [04:54.780 --> 05:00.760] I'm quite active in the ketosis community and have never spoken to anyone who said they [05:00.760 --> 05:06.940] experience muscle cramps from cutting carbs, so we can dismiss that as just more anti-ketosis [05:06.940 --> 05:08.620] disinformation. [05:08.620 --> 05:10.500] What about constipation? [05:10.500 --> 05:14.180] Whenever a person significantly alters the content of what is moving through their intestinal [05:14.180 --> 05:17.300] tract, there will be a change in bowel movements. [05:17.300 --> 05:20.300] Nothing mysterious or harmful about that. [05:20.300 --> 05:24.100] The body will adjust to the change and set a new schedule for bowel movements. [05:24.100 --> 05:29.840] In other words, Sheehan and the Mayo Clinic are characterizing completely natural things [05:29.840 --> 05:32.780] as problematic. [05:32.780 --> 05:37.260] Sheehan continues, quote, a low carbohydrate diet may cause headaches, dizziness, fatigue, [05:37.260 --> 05:41.980] muscle weakness, nausea, diarrhea and constipation. [05:41.980 --> 05:44.460] Diarrhea and constipation? [05:44.460 --> 05:49.780] Sheehan is now associating a lot of very unpleasant sounding conditions with a low carb diet without [05:49.780 --> 05:54.020] any reference to short term, thus giving the impression these are ongoing effects of the [05:54.020 --> 05:55.920] ketogenic diet. [05:55.920 --> 05:57.660] They aren't. [05:57.660 --> 06:02.800] If one experiences a headache, dizziness or fatigue, that will only be in those few transitional [06:02.800 --> 06:04.880] days I mentioned a moment ago. [06:04.880 --> 06:11.200] Of the thousands of people I've spoken with who are on a low carb ketogenic diet, no one [06:11.200 --> 06:16.640] has ever said they experience nausea, nor is there any muscle weakness associated with [06:16.640 --> 06:18.200] ketosis. [06:18.200 --> 06:22.400] Those claims are both flat out lies. [06:22.400 --> 06:27.760] Sheehan then says, quote, if your daily carbohydrate intake is less than 20 grams a day, a condition [06:27.760 --> 06:30.680] known as ketosis could develop. [06:30.680 --> 06:35.000] This condition occurs when the body does not have enough sugar to produce energy. [06:35.000 --> 06:40.360] As a result, it begins destroying your fat stores to create glucose. [06:40.360 --> 06:44.960] Okay, let's be clear about this. [06:44.960 --> 06:51.900] If you eat less than 20 grams of carbs per day, it is not as Sheehan says that ketosis [06:51.900 --> 06:53.220] could develop. [06:53.220 --> 06:58.460] If you consume less than 20 carbs per day, you will flip into ketosis. [06:58.460 --> 07:02.980] Eating less than 20 grams of carbs a day makes flipping into ketosis as certain as [07:02.980 --> 07:06.700] that the sun will rise tomorrow morning. [07:06.700 --> 07:12.660] How can Sheehan be an RN and not understand basic human physiology? [07:12.660 --> 07:17.420] Then Sheehan says, quote, this condition occurs when the body does not have enough sugar to [07:17.420 --> 07:18.700] produce energy. [07:18.700 --> 07:22.100] Well, that's not the way I would phrase it. [07:22.100 --> 07:24.640] I'm not going to quibble about phraseology. [07:24.640 --> 07:31.860] But this next part is nutty when she says, as a result, it begins destroying your fat [07:31.860 --> 07:36.320] stores to create glucose. [07:36.320 --> 07:42.720] Destroying your fat stores, otherwise known as weight loss. [07:42.720 --> 07:47.120] And no, in the absence of dietary carbs, the body does not mobilize stored fats to create [07:47.120 --> 07:48.120] glucose. [07:48.120 --> 07:51.640] If that were the case, your body would never flip into ketosis because it would simply [07:51.640 --> 07:55.800] convert stored fat and or dietary fat into glucose, and the cells would keep burning [07:55.800 --> 07:57.600] glucose for energy. [07:57.600 --> 08:01.760] In reality, when a person cuts carbs to below somewhere in the range of about 30 grams a [08:01.760 --> 08:07.840] day, the body mobilizes stored fat so the cells can begin burning fatty acids for energy [08:07.840 --> 08:09.860] rather than glucose. [08:09.860 --> 08:15.360] That process is what transitions your body from the toxic state of glucose's into the [08:15.360 --> 08:18.640] abundantly healthy state of ketosis. [08:18.640 --> 08:24.200] Shehan's next statement is one of the worst examples of disinformation I have ever seen. [08:24.200 --> 08:29.640] She says, quote, as fat breaks down, ketones are produced and accumulate in your body. [08:29.640 --> 08:34.280] Immediate symptoms of ketosis include nausea, headache, fatigue, and foul breath. [08:34.280 --> 08:39.080] OK, so first, ketones do not accumulate in the body. [08:39.080 --> 08:44.080] You might recall I said that in ketosis, your cells burn primarily fatty acids for energy. [08:44.080 --> 08:50.960] I use the word primarily rather than exclusively because in ketosis, the cells also burn ketones [08:50.960 --> 08:53.600] just to a lesser extent than fatty acids. [08:53.600 --> 08:58.360] But there is an exception to that ratio because fatty acids cannot cross the blood-brain barrier [08:58.360 --> 09:03.840] when in ketosis, your brain cells burn ketones for energy. [09:03.840 --> 09:09.080] Then Shehan says, quote, immediate symptoms of ketosis include nausea, headache, fatigue, [09:09.080 --> 09:13.280] and foul breath. [09:13.280 --> 09:16.600] All of that is completely and utterly false. [09:16.600 --> 09:21.240] In fact, when your body flips into ketosis, you feel amazing. [09:21.240 --> 09:24.080] It will be one of the best feelings of your life. [09:24.080 --> 09:27.960] In my case, it happened on the fourth day after limiting my carbs to 30 grams a day [09:27.960 --> 09:28.960] or less. [09:28.960 --> 09:33.560] I was sitting at my desk, not feeling terrific because my cells had been consuming glucose [09:33.560 --> 09:35.840] for 58 years at that time. [09:35.840 --> 09:39.880] And four days earlier, I'd cut off any meaningful amount of carbs in my diet. [09:40.000 --> 09:45.960] I needed something from the other room, so I stood up from my desk and BAM, suddenly [09:45.960 --> 09:47.520] I felt fantastic. [09:47.520 --> 09:50.800] It was like someone had thrown a switch. [09:50.800 --> 09:56.840] In an instant, I went from feeling lethargic and low energy to feeling amazing. [09:56.840 --> 10:01.560] The change from glucose to ketosis doesn't happen in the blink of an eye for everyone [10:01.560 --> 10:06.840] as it did for me, but everyone has the same experience of feeling amazing when ketosis [10:06.840 --> 10:07.840] kicks in. [10:08.240 --> 10:16.880] So when your body flips from glucose to ketosis, do you, as She-Han claims, experience nausea? [10:16.880 --> 10:17.880] No. [10:17.880 --> 10:18.880] Headaches? [10:18.880 --> 10:19.880] No. [10:19.880 --> 10:21.880] Fatigue? [10:21.880 --> 10:25.400] Not only is that a no, but just the opposite occurs. [10:25.400 --> 10:29.800] Your energy levels go through the roof. [10:29.800 --> 10:30.800] Foul breath? [10:30.800 --> 10:32.800] No, of course not. [10:32.800 --> 10:36.560] Before I continue, allow me to encourage you to subscribe to the channel so you'll be [10:36.560 --> 10:40.920] notified when I post new content and hit the like button so the algorithms will show [10:40.920 --> 10:42.360] this video to more people. [10:42.360 --> 10:45.080] Thanks for taking a moment to do that. [10:45.080 --> 10:52.120] This brings us to She-Han's final mind-blowing disinformation when she says, quote, [10:52.120 --> 10:57.320] If left untreated, ketosis can be life-threatening. [10:57.320 --> 11:01.280] In other words, She-Han is saying that if you reduce your carbohydrate intake to 20 [11:01.280 --> 11:04.480] grams a day or less, you could die. [11:04.480 --> 11:12.000] Oh my god. [11:12.000 --> 11:15.920] Before I rip She-Han's disinformation apart with science, let's apply some basic common [11:15.920 --> 11:17.160] sense. [11:17.160 --> 11:20.320] Eating low-carb has been growing in popularity for the last few years. [11:20.320 --> 11:25.200] While not everyone who is eating a low-carb diet is under 20 grams of carbs a day, many [11:25.200 --> 11:26.200] are. [11:26.200 --> 11:31.800] This would include a large percentage of those who are eating keto style and 100% of those [11:31.800 --> 11:34.200] eating carnivore style. [11:34.200 --> 11:38.560] While solid numbers are hard to come by, with the popularity of keto and carnivore, it would [11:38.560 --> 11:44.000] not be unreasonable to assume that perhaps one-third of one percent of the U.S. population [11:44.000 --> 11:47.440] is consuming 20 grams or less of carbs per day. [11:47.440 --> 11:53.880] In other words, 1.1 million Americans are eating less than 20 grams of carbs a day, [11:53.880 --> 11:57.600] which She-Han says is life-threatening. [11:57.600 --> 12:06.520] So how many of those 1.1 million Americans have died from eating less than 20 grams of [12:06.520 --> 12:08.000] carbs a day? [12:08.000 --> 12:12.080] That would be zero zip zilch nada. [12:12.080 --> 12:16.400] In my case, I haven't exceeded 30 grams of carbs a day in six years, and I haven't exceeded [12:16.400 --> 12:21.440] nine grams of carbs a day in the last four years, with my daily carb count over the last [12:21.440 --> 12:24.840] four years usually coming in at about three grams. [12:24.840 --> 12:31.800] So, Ms. She-Han, when am I going to die from being in ketosis? [12:31.800 --> 12:36.640] While She-Han says people in ketosis are in a life-threatening situation, what is the [12:36.640 --> 12:39.760] real world experience of those living in ketosis? [12:39.760 --> 12:45.280] The real world experience of living in ketosis is losing all of your excess body fat, becoming [12:45.280 --> 12:50.760] lean and metabolically healthy, reversing all lifestyle chronic diseases such as insulin [12:51.760 --> 12:56.840] type 2 diabetes and heart disease while not getting diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's, [12:56.840 --> 12:59.240] gout, and gallstones. [12:59.240 --> 13:04.440] Ketosis also has a stunning record of eliminating or greatly ameliorating autoimmune diseases [13:04.440 --> 13:09.520] and mental illnesses from bipolar disorder to clinical depression. [13:09.520 --> 13:13.640] So apparently, She-Han believes that millions of Americans getting astoundingly healthy [13:13.640 --> 13:17.560] in both mind and body from living in ketosis is life-threatening. [13:18.560 --> 13:23.760] Granted, it may be life-threatening to big med, big pharma, and big food, but not to [13:23.760 --> 13:26.840] any of us who are living in ketosis. [13:26.840 --> 13:32.200] So what is She-Han really talking about when she says it's life-threatening? [13:32.200 --> 13:37.800] She-Han is referring to ketoacidosis, which has zero to do with the nutritional state [13:37.800 --> 13:39.960] of ketosis. [13:39.960 --> 13:44.500] Ketosis is the state in which mankind lived from birth till death for millions of years [13:44.500 --> 13:49.780] and is the way our 100 trillion cells of our body are programmed to function, while [13:49.780 --> 13:55.820] ketoacidosis is a pathological condition generally resulting from a type 1 diabetic failing to [13:55.820 --> 13:57.820] take his or her insulin. [13:57.820 --> 14:04.500] Phrased another way, ketosis is the most natural way for humans to exist and produces incredible [14:04.500 --> 14:10.020] health, while ketoacidosis is the result of having a life-threatening disease to begin [14:10.020 --> 14:14.740] with and then not being responsible about taking the drug that keeps you alive. [14:14.740 --> 14:20.140] Literally, the only thing ketosis and ketoacidosis have in common is that the first four letters [14:20.140 --> 14:24.020] of each of their names is K-E-T-O. [14:24.020 --> 14:30.780] And yet somehow, Krista She-Han, an RN, and supposedly a professional health writer, conflated [14:30.780 --> 14:37.020] two completely unrelated conditions simply because they both begin with the same four [14:37.020 --> 14:38.020] letters. [14:38.020 --> 14:42.420] Now, let's return to Livestrong's editorial claim that they take considerable time to [14:42.420 --> 14:46.740] research and fact-check every article before they're published. [14:46.740 --> 14:52.220] How much research or fact-checking do you think Livestrong staff did on She-Han's article? [14:52.220 --> 14:58.220] It's pretty clear zero research was done on what she wrote and zero fact-checking. [14:58.220 --> 15:02.320] Livestrong also said it delivers trusted health information. [15:02.320 --> 15:06.480] Do you think She-Han's article constitutes trusted health information? [15:06.480 --> 15:10.480] You may recall earlier on I mentioned that the establishment does not want anyone eating [15:10.480 --> 15:11.920] a ketogenic diet. [15:11.920 --> 15:16.520] That's because they don't want the public discovering the life-changing health benefits [15:16.520 --> 15:18.460] of living in ketosis. [15:18.460 --> 15:23.360] In this context, the establishment is primarily the United States government, big pharma, [15:23.360 --> 15:25.480] big men, and big food. [15:25.480 --> 15:29.600] Most people are aware those entities pour billions of dollars into getting reporters [15:29.600 --> 15:34.760] and media outlets to run stories telling people any diet that puts people in ketosis is unhealthy, [15:34.760 --> 15:39.040] even though the exact opposite is the factual reality of it. [15:39.040 --> 15:47.880] So did Nurse She-Han get paid an extra amount of money to present the falsehoods we've discussed? [15:47.880 --> 15:48.960] I don't know. [15:48.960 --> 15:52.920] Perhaps it would be better for her reputation if that was the case, because the alternative [15:52.920 --> 15:57.520] explanation may be more unflattering that as an RN she doesn't have the intelligence [15:57.520 --> 16:02.200] to differentiate between an incredibly healthy physiological state and a pathological condition [16:02.200 --> 16:05.160] that can kill the afflicted person. [16:05.160 --> 16:09.000] Would you trust an RN who couldn't differentiate those two? [16:09.000 --> 16:11.800] Then we have the same question about Livestrong. [16:11.800 --> 16:16.080] Was there a commitment made to Livestrong that if it published complete bullshit to scare [16:16.080 --> 16:20.520] people away from ketosis, it would receive a financial benefit, such as an increase in [16:20.520 --> 16:21.520] advertising contracts? [16:21.520 --> 16:23.400] Again, I don't know. [16:23.400 --> 16:27.360] And again, it may be better for Livestrong if that were true because the alternative [16:27.360 --> 16:31.880] explanation is their stated editorial policies are cynical bullshit intended to fool the [16:31.880 --> 16:32.880] public. [16:32.880 --> 16:39.440] I said in the intro that it angers me when media lies may result in physical harm. [16:39.440 --> 16:44.000] Imagine someone with a disease, such as type 2 diabetes or heart disease, was considering [16:44.000 --> 16:49.560] adopting a ketogenic diet to reverse those diseases but chose not to adopt that healthy [16:49.560 --> 16:55.360] non-pharmacological means of eliminating those diseases because Livestrong and She-Han spread [16:55.360 --> 17:00.720] the grotesque disinformation that by doing so they place themselves in a life-threatening [17:01.120 --> 17:02.120] situation. [17:02.120 --> 17:07.080] Imagine being scared away from eliminating disease by the lies of those who say they [17:07.080 --> 17:10.640] provide trusted health information. [17:10.640 --> 17:15.760] If you'd like to discover the science behind the incredible healthful state of ketosis, [17:15.760 --> 17:21.320] the toxic state of glucose, and learn about the 60-year government and industry disinformation [17:21.320 --> 17:26.480] campaign that has led the U.S. population to be the sickest people in all of human history, [17:26.480 --> 17:29.040] you need to read Body Science. [17:29.080 --> 17:34.440] The great news is that the pandemic of ill health can be turned around without giving [17:34.440 --> 17:38.440] Big Med or Big Pharma a penny. [17:38.440 --> 17:44.080] Body Science makes it crystal clear how you and your loved ones can do exactly that. [17:44.080 --> 17:49.720] You can grab a copy of Body Science by going to DrReality.News. [17:49.720 --> 17:51.360] I'll put the link in the notes. [17:51.360 --> 17:55.300] While you're there, take a look at Income Tax Shattering the Mist, the best-selling [17:55.500 --> 18:02.180] book in America that provides you with mountains of incontrovertible evidence straight from [18:02.180 --> 18:06.740] the government, proving that Congress has never imposed the income tax on ordinary hardworking [18:06.740 --> 18:09.260] Americans like you. [18:09.260 --> 18:13.180] Whether it's ketosis or income tax, I practice what I preach. [18:13.180 --> 18:17.860] I have been in ketosis for six years and haven't filed an income tax return or paid a penny [18:17.860 --> 18:20.340] of income tax in 30 years. [18:20.340 --> 18:23.780] I wrote the best-selling book in the country on the subject and speak about it coast to [18:23.780 --> 18:25.420] coast. [18:25.420 --> 18:26.820] And here I sit. [18:26.820 --> 18:29.700] Perhaps I know something you should know. [18:29.700 --> 18:32.940] The only difference between those who know the truth and those who still believe the [18:32.940 --> 18:37.660] establishment's false narrative is those who know the truth took the time to read Income [18:37.660 --> 18:39.660] Tax Shattering the Mist. [18:39.660 --> 18:45.480] Once you know the truth, you can decide what you want to do about it, including safely [18:45.480 --> 18:50.100] walking away from the scam and keeping 100% of your earnings, if that appeals to you. [18:50.100 --> 18:54.980] But first, you have to know the truth, balls to bone. [18:54.980 --> 18:57.580] Income Tax Shattering the Mist does that for you. [18:57.580 --> 19:01.340] As with the tens of thousands of people who've read Income Tax Shattering the Mist before [19:01.340 --> 19:06.300] you, when you close the final page, you'll be thoroughly convicted that the US government [19:06.300 --> 19:11.700] has lied to you your entire life, along with every other American, and has done so to commit [19:11.700 --> 19:14.900] the largest financial crime in world history. [19:14.900 --> 19:18.580] No matter what you choose to do with what you learn from Income Tax Shattering the Mist, [19:18.580 --> 19:23.040] it will be one of the most fascinating books you will ever read.
