Tucker Goodrich is a Wall Street
tech extraordinaire and nutrition science enthusiast. After doctors
and the healthcare system let him down in severe and avoidable
ways, he took his health into his own hands and had amazing
results. He’s done a ton of research on Omega 6 fatty acids
otherwise known as seed oils otherwise known as vegetable oils
previously known as an industrial waste product before we started
feeding them to humans. He makes a compelling case for them being a
major factor in many, if not all, modern diseases. You’ll
definitely not want to be eating fast food fries cooked in old,
rancid vegetable oils after this episode.
The sunburn stuff at the end is
legit. I won’t spoil it, but just know Robb Wolf just backed this
up on his podcast with science. There is a mechanism there that
makes total sense and I’ve seen it anecdotally as well.
We seem to have stalled out with
the Food Lies film Indiegogo campaign. Please keep supporting us
there. This documentary and podcast is all done by support of
people like you. We’re not taking any outside money other than from
my own pocket to fund this. Thanks so much, I sincerely appreciate
it.

Works
on Wall Street and developed software that deals with trillions of
dollars of assets
-
Had a
stroke-like event at age 38
-
Then
got acute diverticulitis
-
Got a
colon resection and followed “healthy” diet and doctor’s advice and
was still sick
-
He
called himself “Mr. Whole Wheat” - stopped eating sugar when he was
19 so that wasn’t it
-
-
Started fixing himself in 2 days using dietary
change
-
His
surgery was probably unnecessary
-
He is
well connected to Daniel Lieberman and The Story of the Human
Body
-
Diseases of civilization
-
Agriculture allowed us to build cities, paved the way
for written language to keep track of grains, etc.
-
We
over-hunted all the very large animals
-
From
eating grains we got shorter, got cavities, lesions on bones, all
while our population exploded
-
We
used to be more robust and have bigger brains
-
Diabetes used to be super rare - we have medical
records of this
-
Cancer a huge problem in Germany
-
Heart
disease in England
-
Diseases went around the world as eating patterns went
around the world
-
We
even give other species diabetes and our diseases when we feed them
our foods - monkeys, dogs, cats - even racoons who eat human
garbage
-
Weston A. Price needs to be mentioned for his great
work
-
Realization came at the salad bar with the
dressings
-
Cut
all vegetable oils and cured himself
-
Cut
out carbs and processed foods and exercised less and lost tons of
weight
-
Started doing more research - lots of people said seed
oils are bad, but nobody really explained the mechanism back
then
-
Maybe
the largest epidemiological study ever on saturated fat in India
looking at the northern and southern populations
-
The
south who ate like our food pyramid suggests had 7-15 times the
heart disease rate
-
How
about England? Heart disease skyrocketed with the intro of seed
oils
-
Okinawa
is a Blue Zone - place where people live abnormally
long
-
First
fast food restaurant opened in Okinawa
-
Okinawa went from the longest lifespan in Japan to the
shortest
-
Seed
oil consumption tracks modern disease all over the
world
-
These
cultures were eating a high carb diet so it's likely not the carbs
- the carb consumption actually went down
-
Japanese and chinese are some of the shortest
populations and they subsist on high carb, low meat diet. We know
we got shorter when agriculture was invented. We know when we lower
carb intake and up meat intake populations get taller
-
Grains are a “fallback food”
-
It’s
funny that rich people in Santa Monica purposely try to live in the
Failed Environment Metabolic State while thinking they’re morally
superior to us
-
Tarahumara Indians eat this way - their children have a
malnutrition rate of 80%
-
Carbohydrate is a cofactor. 5 key studies: rats and
diabetes & heart failure; (Ghosh 2004); LA and obesity (Alvheim
2012) Lyon Diet Heart (De Lorgeril 1994); Seed oils and insulin
resistance in India (Nigam 2014); Seed oils and NAFLD, (Maciejewska
2015)
-
Lyon
heart study - lowered Omega 6 and raised Omega 3 to improve heart
attack risk of repeat by 70%
-
William Lands: “I’ve studied saturated fat for 50 years
and never found a mechanism that it could kill
somebody”
-
American Heart Association’s “Prudent Diet” proved to
be outright harmful to people in this study
-
History of LDL cholesterol and heart
disease
-
To
make LDL atherogenic omega 6 fats need to be oxidized
-
Researchers found this mechanism before De Lorgeril had
success with replacing Omega 6s with olive oil, where he improved
heart attack outcomes without knowing the mechanism
-
Researchers prime rats to get cancer and can’t do this
unless they use omega 6s
-
Western Cancers and the P53 gene mutation
-
Japanese women moving to America breast cancer went up
7 fold
-
Why
is there DNA damage present in all western diseases?
-
Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of all western
diseases
-
Avoiding heated seed oils is not good enough - damage
still happens inside cells
-
damaged cardiolipin cause mitochondria to stop working
properly and is primarily caused by excess carbohydrates in the
diet
-
A lot
of disease is teed up by excess carbs but the seed oils are what
activate the damage
-
Asian
countries and rice consumption
-
Knockout gene and detoxifying seed oils
-
Selenium deficiency in China and
glutathione
-
Omega
6 fats combined with glucose causes oxidation and can be seen in a
petri dish
-
Women
in CHina were getting lung cancer that didn’t smoke - turned out it
was cooking with seed oils and inhaling the fumes
-
Seed
oils break down into one of the same toxins as in cigarette
smoke
-
Seed
oils used to be an industrial waste product
-
There’s no conspiracy theory - they thought these oils
were fine. They aren't acutely toxic, it takes years to do
damage
-
Everything has a U-shaped curve - too little or too
much is bad
-
There’s essential fats in dairy and maybe more we don’t
know about
-
How
do vegans temporarily survive?
-
Kitavans
-
Sunburn and diet - how could they possibly be
related?
-
His
wife with dark skin and his light skin
-
What’s the mechanism?
-
His
radiation research
-
Evolutionary context for omega 6 causing sunburn (or
lack of omega 6 making us able to not get sunburned)
-
Now
are omega 3 to omega 6 ratio is a nightmare
-
Giving omega 3 and a better diet to prisoners helped
with their behavior
-
Weston Prices studied diet and its effects on troubled
youth as well
-
Not
everyone needs to cut out wheat, but just know it’s effects.
Everyone should cut out sugar, refined grains, and seed oils
though
-
-
The
amount of physical grinding of starch affects your digestion and
health in a negative way
-
Gabor
is actually the next podcast guest
-
Japanese people eat high starch but it’s in its whole
form, not ground
-
People are confused on what healthy even is, so it’s
hard to be healthy
-
Going
to restaurants is not even worth it anymore when you can make
things better at home
