Summary

ChatGPT recommends the Mediterranean diet as best for overall health. It groups red meat, sugar, and processed foods together as foods to avoid and recommends plant-based diets as superior.

ChatGPT recommends avoiding keto and carnivore diets on a long-term basis. ChatGPT health advice comes from organizations such as the American Heart Association and the American Diabetes Association, which are heavily funded by certain industries and inherently biased.

To lower cholesterol, ChatGPT claims you should lower dietary cholesterol, increase unsaturated fats, and replace animal proteins with plant proteins. Plants do not have complete protein, and if you reduce your dietary cholesterol, you could end up low in bile and vitamin D. Cholesterol is a vital component of your cell membranes, hormones, and brain.

ChatGPT falsely claims that seed oils are not “that bad” when used in moderation. Balance and moderation allow you to continue eating bad food without worrying about the consequences. If you have a chronic disease, you can not simply “balance” your diet.

If you have diabetes, you do not want to spike insulin with carbohydrates. ChatGPT recommends legumes and grains for people with diabetes and small, frequent meals. This advice would continue to spike insulin, and would not help reverse diabetes!

When asked about diet and nutrition for people with chronic diseases, ChatGPT ignores powerful ways to drastically improve one's health, such as increasing vitamin D and fasting. It continues to recommend moderation for ultra-processed foods, claiming that it is safe and healthy for 20% of your daily calories to be ultra-processed.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:

0:00.0	Yesterday, I got an heated argument with Chat Chippy T. My wife actually came in and she's like,
0:04.6	who are you talking to? I was really frustrated because I wanted to see if Chachapiti had at least
0:09.4	basic truthful information in the area of health. How do they know this information is more
0:15.8	truthful than something else? It's basically weighted through medical consensus. There's so much medical dogma that
0:22.1	ends up being completely false over periods of years. Today we're going to take a deep dive and ask
0:27.7	chat chb-tri-t various questions and see what it says. Before I do that, I want you to comment down
0:33.9	below and tell me, how do you find your health information? Where do you go to get
0:39.4	answers on health? The first question that I asked Chachb-T is, how do I lose weight? And of course,
0:45.4	it said this, losing weight comes down to creating a sustainable calorie deficit. Burning more
0:51.5	calories than you consume. Of course, this dogma has persisted, and it's going on
0:56.5	right now. This is what the medical profession tells you to do to lose weight. They give you a tip.
1:01.1	A good starting point is to reduce your intake by 300 to 500 calories per day. Let's just say you
1:05.8	did reduce 500 calories. You're just going to be so hungry because you're not going to actually
1:10.7	tap into your fat supply. You're going to be be so hungry because you're not going to actually tap into your
1:11.5	fat supply. You're going to be dependent on the calories from the food coming in because you're running
1:16.7	on carbs. Then I asked Chachipit, what is the best diet for health? Number one, the Mediterranean
1:22.6	diet. Of course, it's lots of vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains, moderate fish in poultry.
1:29.6	Of course, you have to limit the red meat, sugar, and processed foods.
1:32.8	I like how they put that together.
1:34.6	Limit red meat, sugar, and processed foods, like they lump those three together because
1:39.6	they're all of equal importance to avoid.
1:42.2	Look at this, optional, moderate red wine. For women, that's one
