Evidence for Meat in Your Diet with Michael Eades, MD

This video series discusses the importance of nutrition and how a proper human diet can reverse chronic progressive diseases. It looks at the Expensive Tissue Hypothesis, which suggests that humans switched to a meat-eating diet in order to increase their brain size and decrease their gut size. It also examines the various ways to determine the diet of early humans, such as stable isotope analysis and scavenging. It explains how humans have been predominantly carnivorous for at least 350,000 years, and how the hominid line that tried to eat a vegan diet ended up dying out. It compares the diets of hunter-gatherers and agriculturalists from 2,500 and 500 years ago, respectively, and discusses the effects of a plant-based, wheat-based, grain-based diet on the health of ancient Egyptians. Finally, it looks at the increasing acceptance of the ketogenic diet among medical professionals and the potential benefits of being in a state of ketosis.
