DESCRIPTION:Dairy is considered a major cause of the acne epidemic and other more serious chronic diseases in the Western world due to the "abuse" of the mammalian postnatal signaling system by widespread cow milk consumption.

This video concludes my three-part series on the latest on this topic. Make sure to check out my last video (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/skim-milk-and-acne/) and National Dairy Council on Acne and Milk (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/national-dairy-council-on-acne-and-milk/) from the day before. Acne & Cancer Connection (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/acne-cancer-connection/) is another video along these lines. And if you're interested in other topics, there are hundreds of other videos on more than a thousand subjects (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/).

How do American Egg Board arguments hold up to scientific scrutiny, such as the concept that large fluffy LDL cholesterol is protective compared to small, dense LDL?

This is why a site like NutritionFacts.org can be so useful, because even when a paper is published in the peer-reviewed medical literature, it can misrepresent the science. But who has time to check the primary sources? I do! If you’d like to support this work, please consider making a tax-deductible donation.
Here are some other videos in which I contrast the available science with what the egg industry asserts:
Egg Industry Blind Spot (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/egg-industry-blind-spot)
Eggs and Cholesterol: Patently False and Misleading Claims (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/eggs-and-cholesterol-patently-false-and-misleading-claims)
Eggs vs. Cigarettes in Atherosclerosis (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/eggs-vs-cigarettes-in-atherosclerosis)
Who Says Eggs Aren’t Healthy or Safe? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/who-says-eggs-arent-healthy-or-safe)
Debunking Egg Industry Myths (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/debunking-egg-industry-myths)

This is part of an extended new series of videos on kidney health:
• Preventing Kidney Failure through Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-kidney-failure-through-diet/)
• Treating Kidney Failure through Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/treating-kidney-failure-through-diet/)
• Can Diet Protect against Kidney Cancer? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/can-diet-protect-against-kidney-cancer/)
• How to Prevent Kidney Stones with Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-prevent-didney-stones-with-diet)
I’ve compared plant and animal protein in a variety of ways. See, for example,
• Methionine Restriction as a Life Extension Strategy (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/methionine-restriction-as-a-life-extension-strategy/)
• Prostate Cancer Survival: The A/V Ratio (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/prostate-cancer-survival-the-av-ratio/)
• Caloric Restriction vs. Animal Protein Restriction (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/caloric-restriction-vs-animal-protein-restriction/)
And perhaps the most dramatic demonstration was the new study I featured in my latest live annual presentation Food as Medicine: Preventing and Treating the Most Dreaded Diseases with Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-as-medicine). I’m working that into a new video that goes into greater depth—stay tuned!

The “Fairness Doctrine” example shows to what extent the purveyors of unhealthy products will go to keep the truth from the American public.

The trans fat story is an excellent example of this, which I just did two videos about, Controversy Over the Trans Fat Ban (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/controversy-over-the-trans-fat-ban) and Banning Trans Fat in Processed Foods but Not Animal Fat (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/Banning-Trans-Fat-in-Processed-Foods-but-Not-Animal-Fat).
Isn’t that Fairness Doctrine example amazing? Just goes to show how powerful the truth can be. If you want to support my efforts to spread evidence-based nutrition you can donate to our 501c3 nonprofit here (https://nutritionfacts.org/donate/), and support Balanced (https://balanced.org/), an ally organization NutritionFacts.org helped launch to put this evidence into practice.

Today starts a three-video series on the latest evidence on the link between acne and milk (particularly skim, which has higher hormone levels—see Hormones In Skim vs. Whole Milk - http://nutritionfacts.org/video/hormones-in-skim-vs-whole-milk/). I've previously covered this topic in my video Dairy & Acne (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dairy-acne-2/).

DESCRIPTION: Atherosclerotic plaques in coronary arteries may be more aptly described as pimples, initiated by the infiltration of cholesterol into the lining of our arteries. The ending, should blood flow to our heart muscle be cut off by a clot formed by the rupture of one of these inflamed pockets of pus in our arterial lining, is a heart attack. Cholesterol-induced zits in the lining of our coronary arteries can also occur in other blood vessels. In our head they can cause a stroke, in our back they can cause degenerative disk disease (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cholesterol-and-lower-back-pain/), in our abdomen they can cause an aneurysm (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/abdominal-aortic-aneurysms-ticking-time-balloons/), and in our pelvis they can cause sexual dysfunction in both men (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/atkins-diet-trouble-keeping-it-up/) and women (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cholesterol-and-female-sexual-dysfunction/). Thankfully, Avoiding Cholesterol Is A No Brainer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/avoiding-cholesterol-is-a-no-brainer/). It's Purely a Question Of Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/heart-attacks-and-cholesterol-purely-a-question-of-diet/). Trans fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol should be kept to a minimum. There are more than 80 videos on heart disease (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/heart-disease/) and also hundreds of other videos on more than a thousand subjects at http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/.
