Welcome to the Dr. Gundry podcast. The weekly podcast where Dr. G gives you the tools you need to boost your health and live your healthiest life.

Which are the healthiest meat products?

Well, simply put, absolutely zero. Now, I know this is controversial, especially in light of the high protein diets out there.

But if you read my books or follow this podcast for long, you know I don't make this stuff up to be the big bad food Grinch robbing you of that big juicy steak for the fun of it.

All my claims are science backed. You see, I'm always looking out for you and your health. Even if it means telling you things, you probably don't want to hear.

The truth is, animal protein is one of the larger drivers of insulin resistance, metabolic inflexibility and weight gain.

And if you don't believe me, just check out my references in the longevity paradox in the energy paradox in unlocking the keto code.

These are huge long-term human studies that back up these assertions. Now, there's multiple reasons and time will not permit a lot of them in detail.

But let's just run through a few beef, lamb, and pork contain a sugar molecule on the lining of their blood vessels called new five GC.

You and I chicken and fish have a sugar molecule on our blood vessels called new five AC.

There's only one molecule difference between the two, but it's a profound difference.

I first studied this molecule as a Zeno heart transplant surgeon taking a pig heart and transplanting it into a baboon.

Because of that one dumb sugar molecule, if I take a pig heart and put it in a baboon, that pig heart will stop in about five hours from acute rejection because the baboons white blood cells attacked that sugar molecule in that pig heart.

Now, you may remember I'm pretty famous for getting around that system. I've had untreated pig hearts live for a month in baboons using my tricks, but that sugar molecule promotes an antigenic response.

So whenever we eat new five G containing foods like a steak, like bacon, like lamb, we actually make an antibody to our own blood vessels.

And there is interesting reasoning that part of the reason that meat eaters have more coronary artery disease than non meat eaters is because of new five GC in an auto antibody response against our own blood vessels.

That's number one.

Number two, tumors are known to use new five GC to cloak themselves so that they won't be seen by the immune system.

Now, you already know we don't manufacture new five GC which means that tumors in us had to acquire new five GC from the foods we eat.

And that's why there are a number of studies that show a correlation between red meat eating and increased cancer rich.

Now, you've heard me say over and over again, correlation does not mean causation, but there's enough of a reasoning behind this that it's probably not your friend.

Now, if you are going to eat meat, yes, even I eat meat, then abide by the following principles.
