In industrialized nations, individuals are routinely exposed to no more than 40 or 50 dietary components in their standard lifestyle.
"We discovered that even in industrialized nations, uh, people are usually exposed to no more than 40 or 50 components of of dietary dietary composition, um, in a routine lifestyle." (said at 0:14:00)
No published record matching the claim that individuals in industrialized nations are routinely exposed to no more than 40 or 50 components of dietary composition in a routine lifestyle was located; this does not prove the claim false.
From a bird's-eye view, human microbiome composition remains largely stable from approximately age three until old age in healthy adults without disease or lifestyle perturbations.
"if you just, uh, you know, look into the composition and the function of the microbiome from from this resolution, you would find that it changes, uh, um, very in a very minor manner between the age of three until we get, uh, to an old age or if we develop disease or change our lifestyle." (said at 0:14:30)
No published record matching the claim that human gut microbiome composition and function remain largely stable from approximately age three until old age in the absence of disease or lifestyle perturbations was located; this does not prove the claim false.
In a 2015 trial, healthy individuals fed only white rice for a week followed by only steak for a week showed consistent and reproducible directions of change in their gut microbiota.
"in 2015, we've conducted our own, uh, kind of mini, uh, trial in which we took a group of, uh, healthy human individuals and we've asked them politely to eat only white rice for a week, then only, you know, a steak for another week, while we extensively measured them, uh, for their microbiome, and we found indeed that the microbiome changes in a very reproducible manner." (said at 0:17:25)
No published record matching a 2015 trial in which healthy human participants consumed exclusively white rice for one week followed exclusively by steak for one week was located; this does not prove the claim false. The primary 2015 personalized nutrition study from this research group evaluated personalized multi-component dietary interventions rather than mono-diet crossover regimens.
Epidemiological studies indicate that healthy individuals with no metabolic disease or unhealthy lifestyle factors who consume red meat or eggs do not have higher cardiovascular disease risk or all-cause mortality compared to non-consumers.
"observational data, epidemiological studies where you see people, you know, people that eat red meat and/or, you know, eggs, if they are healthy and they don't have metabolic disease, they don't have type 2 diabetes or dyslipidemia, they don't have unhealthy lifestyle factors—so, for example, they they're active, they don't smoke, they don't excessively drink, they're, you know, not overweight—that they they actually don't have a higher cardiovascular disease risk or mortality or all-cause mortality as people that are not consuming those types of foods that are high in L-carnitine or choline." (said at 1:32:36)
No published record matching the claim that healthy individuals without metabolic disease or unhealthy lifestyle factors who consume red meat or eggs have no increased risk of cardiovascular disease or all-cause mortality compared to non-consumers was located; this does not prove the claim false.
Unverified means no publication matching the claim was located; it does not prove the claim false. Spotted an error? See the corrections policy - disputes from the people quoted are prioritized.
