And it tastes like an ice cream sundae used to. So I think the interesting part about that exercise is for people to reflect on, like, where is your baseline of expectation for what a healthy, reasonable diet is, which you can kind of test by what was your emotional reaction to me describing that unhealthy lifestyle or that unhealthy diet, so to speak.

westernized diets I mean if you look globally at like where inflammatory bowel disease and also irritable bowel syndrome is like on the rise it's everywhere that there's you know a westernized diet so the more processed junky food we eat with the more added chemicals in the more like we are to develop gut dysfunction that shouldn't really be surprising I mean when you just think about the scale of the things that are adding to our food that we were not designed to be exposed to evolutionarily speaking

it's no surprise that things are getting screwed up. And the fact of the matter is the burden of proof is not on the food industry that's introducing these foods to demonstrate no long-term harm. They can show no acute toxicity, but in terms of just this scale of exposure and the inadequacy of long-term safety testing for the things that get introduced into the diet,

It really should be no surprise that eating a more processed westernized diet contributes to an increase in, let's just say, gastrointestinal upset on the spectrum of I get some bloating to I have bloody diarrhea 20 times a day. I need to get my colon removed.

We need to first acknowledge that this is a population that is, I would say, suboptimally served by Western medicine. That is not to say doctors aren't doing their due diligence with their patients. That is not to say some patients don't do remarkably well with surgeries or immunomodulating medications or other medications.

And if you have ever been in that sort of situation or known someone in that sort of situation, you know that desperation can lead people to try crazy things, things that aren't necessarily proven with the most rigorous research. So I think that's what's driving people to try things like a carnivore diet, which from the mainstream sounds crazy. But when you're desperate, you'll do anything.
