Dr. Anthony Chaffee exposes how corporate capture has fundamentally corrupted modern medicine and nutrition science. He reveals documented evidence of how sugar companies paid Harvard researchers to falsely blame saturated fat and cholesterol for heart disease, while hiding their own role in cardiovascular problems. The discussion traces this deception from Ancel Keys' fraudulent Seven Nations Study through the buried Minnesota Coronary Experiment, which showed more deaths from heart attacks when people switched from animal fats to plant-based oils.
Listeners discover how pharmaceutical and processed food industries maintain control through medical school funding, conference sponsorships, and captured health organizations like the American Heart Association. Dr. Anthony Chaffee explains why this systematic corruption has made humans sicker than ever in history, and outlines how grassroots education and emerging political support from figures like Robert Kennedy Jr. can restore proper nutrition science based on our biological design as carnivores.

How did we get ourselves in this mess in this world? The modern medical system which you're in also um and is plant-based diet is healthy and red meat and is not good for you. Um and even the American College of OBG suggest red wine for pregnant lactating women. Oh my god. you know, unfortunately what what you know, how do we get here and what are your thoughts on how we can all contribute to get out of this mess? Yeah. Well, I think I think a lot of it unfortunately comes down to corporate capture. You know, we have that the you know, people people realize that that if you want to control people and societies, you need to you need to get involved in the educational system. And so, you know, this happens, you know, with any ideology. you you get in you get into the schools and you and you teach whatever you want to do and you and you get people um thinking the way you want to think. The problem is is that with with medicine is that that the pharmaceutical and food industries, processed food industries, which are all plant-based food industries because there's a huge markup. You can make massive profits off this. um that they have they have captured the medical schools and the educational system in medical school. And so we're being taught, you know, what what suits those industries the most. And that education goes forward in residency as well because it's also owned and dictated by the the food and drug companies. And then the the conferences, you know, the majority of major conferences, mainstream conferences will be majorly funded by the food and drug companies, you know, like Nestle and Coca-Cola and things like that or, you know, um, and these processed food companies are major sponsors of these conferences and and even like the, uh, diabetics associations and and American Heart Association, all these other places, they they're major funders. are the food and drug companies. And so obviously there there's serious conflicts of interest there. Um and they're they're pushing out information that suits their purposes. You know, we we vilified red meat and animal fat. Um, and you can trace that back to corporate involvement trying to paint the blame on saturated fat, cholesterol for cardiovascular disease and heart attacks when there was absolutely no evidence that that was the case. In fact, there was a lot of evidence that processed food, sugar, smoking, these sorts of things were major contributors to cardiovascular disease. And so we know because we have the internal memos from the sugar companies um detailing how they paid off people to lie and say that cholesterol was the problem and when it was more likely to be sugar and you know people like Anel Keys but he wasn't just the only one. There were multiple professors from Harvard and elsewhere who were paid and we know that they were paid because we have their documents saying that they were paid and showing you know quid proquo sort of uh conversations um you know messages from the sugar company saying hey we want you to do this and this we want this paper to say even more with this and then those researchers from Harvard coming back and saying yes absolutely we can say it exactly how you want that's completely fraudulent I mean that's that's that's academic malpractice and malfeasance And so, um, and then, you know, people think, well, maybe they were just sponsored by the sugar companies, but they really believed it. Well, that doesn't really pass the smell test because you you see those dialogues back and forth where the sugar companies say, "Hey, we want you to say it like this so it looks better for us." And them saying, "Yes, absolutely." And also with Anel Keys when he did a se seven nations study, you know, this it should have been a 22 nations study because he had complete data for over 22 countries. He he cherrypicked data in in a very um fraudulent way. So there there's intent there being suggested. But the thing that shows intent to mislead is the fact that even in if we just look at those seven countries that he looked at that shows this exponential increase in cardiovascular disease um with higher cholesterol levels. There's there's an R value. So there's relative risk association that goes up with cholesterol uh was like86 the and then his conclusion from that was and what he railed on for decades after that was like well look it looks like cholesterol is a problem. So you know you need to stop eating fat to lower your cholesterol and so what do you replace it with because you have to have those calories. So just replace it with with good old sugar because it's an empty calorie. It's not going to cause a problem. So, you know, just just fill in the gaps with that from an energy standpoint. And of course, he was being paid to say that, right? So, we know that's fraudulent. But that was his conclusion from the Seven Nations study. And the R value for cholesterol and heart disease was86. The R value for sugar was exactly the same. It was exactly the same. And so his own data showed that sugar had the exact same parabolic risk increase for those seven countries. And his conclusion was drop the fat, drop the cholesterol, eat sugar, even knowing that the R value was the same. Hey guys, just want to take a second to thank our sponsor, Carnivore Bar. I don't promote many products because honestly all you need to be healthy is to just eat meat. But for those times that you're out hiking, road tripping, or stuck at work and you want nutritious snack that is just meat, fat, and salt if you want it, the Carnivore Bar is a great option. So, I like this product not because it's just pure meat, but also because I want the carnivore market to thrive as well. And the more we support meat only products, the more meatonly products there will be available in the mainstream. So, if this sounds like something you'd like to get behind, check it out using my discount code, Anthony, to get 10% off, which also applies to subscriptions, giving you 25% off total. All right. Thanks, guys. That is intentional. That That's malfeasance. That I don't I don't think that we can let him get away with, well, maybe he was just an ideologue and he really wanted to believe that he was right and couldn't quite see it. His own data showed that sugar had the same relative risk increase. and he said to eat sugar instead even though it's exactly the same risk. So that that shows me everything I need to know. But then you look at the the Minnesota coronary experiment which he was one of the lead investigators on and it was a randomized control trial with nearly 10,000 patients who were institutionalized in um you know detention centers and mental health facilities and they could it was a double blinded randomized control trial. It really doesn't get better than that, especially with nutrition. And they just swapped out animal fats and saturated fats for um uh you know uh seed oils and um uh margarine, right? So they they swapped out saturated fats, animal fats for plant oil, so-called hearthealthy polyunsaturated fats. And what happened? More people died of heart attacks and strokes with lower cholesterol. It did lower cholesterol putting in the plant fats. You know, plant steriles are going to impede your your production of of cholesterol. That's true. So LDL came down and more people had heart attacks and and strokes as a result. And so they buried it, you know, they buried it. They only published an abstract 17 years later or so. And Anel Keys took his name off of it. He's like, "Don't include me in that shit." And um and then they uncovered this 40 years after it was done and published um by a researcher at the NIH, Dr. Ramston, who uncovered this, found that abstract and went like, "Hold on, there's got to be more to this story and was able to talk to the the son of one of the researchers, lead investigators, and found in his basement. They they found in their father's basement all these old um documents and uh floppy discs and and um and uh uh actually punch cards. That was that was that long ago they were using punch cards. And so they they got all this data. They since published it in major journals. And uh Gary Tabs interviewed one of the the original lead researchers while he was still alive and asked him and said, "Hey, so what happened? Was this just not a good study? Was it did you did it have flaws? Was there problems? Like why didn't this get published? And you know in in a moment of of honesty um that you know you can can be afforded to you after you've you know retired and you don't have to worry about anything and you're you just sort of towards the end of your life and you just don't care. Um he just said no no there's nothing wrong with the study. It was a really good study. It was really well done. It was really well designed but um we just were pretty disappointed with the results. So we just didn't publish it, right? So that could have completely changed the course of history and um and as a result you have this idea being originally pushed by the food companies and the sugar companies and now it's being backed by the drug companies because now there's this multi-billion dollar industry lowering cholesterol and cholesterol is not the problem then you don't need something to to lower cholesterol. Yes. If you you throw away the fat off the animal, no one's losing anything in essence because the sugar people, the plant people make their money, the meat people make their money. You know, the fat is is, you know, it's just no one's going to lose anything except we're losing our health, which ultimately makes someone else money. And and is is science can we trust science? uh the the they didn't they didn't come out and say, "Oh, we were wrong." and publish a New England Journal article uh or JAMAMA and say, "Here's the data. We were all wrong." Uh it's sort of hidden away. Nobody really gets to hear these things. Is it worth the fight against something or is there another way that we can all sort of help in this mission of healing uh our brothers and sisters? Hey everyone, really happy to announce a new sponsor for the show and for everybody down in Australia. Stockman Steaks, who are delivering high quality grass-fed and finished, pasture-raised beef and other meats, flash frozen, and vacuum sealed to your door. Something that I've been enjoying a lot of myself recently as well. They also have a great range of specialty items such as highfat keto mints and carnivore beef and organs mints with liver, kidneys, and beef heart as well. So, use code chaffy today for a free order of beef mints or another specialty gift along with your order at stockmmithstakes.com.au and I'll see you over there. Thanks, guys. I think it is definitely well worth the fight because, you know, if just going along with things have has gotten us fatter and sicker than we've ever been in human history. And so, you we're not living to our biological design and and we're not getting the biological results that we should be getting um as healthy individuals. You know, the natural state of of humanity in all life is that of health. We we're descended from the winners. We're descended from the people that were the most successful that survived and won at the game of life. And and you you can't there's no room for for mass sickness and um and and weakness in the wild. It just doesn't doesn't happen. You just don't survive. Um the way that we can do this um well a we need to fight this from from every level to to get them out of the medical establishment so these industries with special interests are not the ones influencing medical education. That's that's of primary importance. But the way we get to that is we have to spread this out there because the information is out there. The facts are out there. We just have to get people understanding it. And the more and more people that do that, the more this can can be pushed forward. And so we just need to educate people and get this information out there so that they can help themselves and that doctors can first help themselves, but then also help their patients with this. And then when more and more doctors and researchers and faculty and medical schools start to see this, they're going to start saying, "Okay, well, something needs to change at a at a foundational level." And um but you know the way the way to start that is by doing this as a grassroots movement. And I think we've we've come a long way with that in the last few years because it it's never been a national conversation. You know there the last few years people are just like oh that's crazy this crazy carnivore thing. And now we're getting more traction. And so now you really see them start to panic. So they're they're paying for a lot of, you know, garbage news articles and fake papers coming out of Walter Willlet and the rest of the vegan activists and 7th Day Adventists who have a religious bent and ideology uh in in keeping things plant-based. And they're also highly uh connected to processed food industry and the drug industry. So they're heavily conflicted financially and and they're pumping out nonsense epidemiological data which can never show causation. And yet the newspapers are saying, "Oh, this proves red meat causes diabetes and and garbage like that." And so obviously they're squirming because this is this is starting to have an impact and it's having an impact in how people choose to uh you know shop and um it's going to start hurting cereal sales and carbs and all that you know and um those sorts of things and good rightly so. And um but now it's gotten to the point where people like, you know, Robert Kennedy Jr. are now bringing this to a national spotlight and attention, saying, "Hey, no, we are getting sicker." And this is this is this is not debatable. This is a fact. We're just getting sicker and sicker and sicker. And this has something to do with our environment. This is not genetic because our genetics did not change within our own bodies in our own lifetime. That doesn't make any any sense. And so, you know, if you look at you and people just don't study genetics and they've never taken, you know, genetics and understood population genetics and and understand like, you know, the Harvey Weinberg, you know, equation where if you have a certain percentage of alals in a population unless there's a mass extinction or a mass influx and migration, you you are not going to change the percentage of of alals in the population. So as no matter how big or you know the population grows or how it shrinks down it should still be 5% 5% 5%. So if this were were genetic globally right because you can't have a mass migration to planet earth of more humans and we haven't had you know extreme like mass extinctions or anything like that. So we should have the same number of alals and yet diabetes is going up, cancer is going up, heart disease is going up, obesity is going up worldwide, worldwide and in in isolated areas as well. either you cannot explain this with genetics and um so it has to be environmental and he's find and he's I think we've had enough of a ground swell to get that voice heard at a national level which is great and I think hopefully we can use that to to make some some very beneficial changes. They'll publish their nutritional statistics as compared to like USDA averages for beef and lamb and things like that. And I've seen them consistently be about four to five times higher in micronutrients, so vitamins and minerals, um, in the grass-fed
