The Truth About Cancer
Dr. David Jockers: Oh Absolutely! So yeah, cancer is clearly one of
those. So inflammation is really a system. it’s really—it’s a response of
our body because we know that opportunistic infection is what’s killed
more people in the history of mankind than anything else. Inflammation
is our body’s response to protect us from a systemic infection. So
inflammation is a smart response from our body, it’s an intelligent
response; however, most of the time we don’t have—we’re not at risk for
chronic systemic infection. So we’ve got to control that inflammatory
process and so the food that we put in our body, the way that we think,
the way that we carry ourselves, move our body, the toxic load we put
on our system, all of these things play a very important role with our
body’s ability to modulate or coordinate that inflammatory response.
Ty: You had mentioned with the ketosis and the ketogenic diet, to
me it sounds almost like the Atkin’s diet, if you remember from 20
years or so when the Atkin’s diet was real popular.
Dr. David Jockers: Yep
Ty: Is that—is it the same thing as the Atkin’s diet or what is
different when you hear the ketogenic diet versus the old Atkin’s
diet that a lot of body builders that I knew back in the 90s went
from the low fat diet to the Atkin’s diet where they were literally
guys that at the gym working out eating cheese and bacon and
peanut butter in between sets.
Dr. David Jockers: Right. Yep.
Ty: What’s the difference between these two types of diets
Dr. David Jockers: Yeah. That’s a great, great question. I’m really glad
you brought that up because in general the Atkin’s diet is a ketogenic
diet. It does stimulate ketone development. And the way that some
individuals teach it it’s still—they’re almost identical. However, when
we’re really trying to promote optimal health we’ve got to make some
differentiations from the Atkin’s diet. So where Atkin’s went right was his
approach with a low carbohydrate diet, getting our body running off the
ketones. So I’m in total agreement with him about that, keeping our
body very sensitive to insulin, very, very important. However, where I
disagree with him was he really had no regulation on the kind of fats that
you put into your body. And we want to really focus on good fats as
opposed to bad fats. So most people in our society assume that
saturated fat is a bad fat. What we know is that actually saturated fat is
one of the most healthiest fats we can be putting in our body. The fats
we really want to avoid are high omega-6 fats from refined vegetable
oils and also from factory farmed animal meats. So that’s a big one. And
