Why the Modern Diet Is Making You Sick

"Jordan Peterson continues to follow a carnivore diet, specifically a restricted version focusing on beef, salt, and water. He and his daughter, Mikhaila, have both spoken publicly about their experiences with this diet, citing improvements in various health issues like autoimmune conditions, depression, and sleep problems. 

More Details:

• Lion Diet:

  Peterson and his daughter follow a strict carnivore diet called the "lion diet," which limits their food intake to only beef, salt, and water. 
• Rationale:

  They believe this diet, which eliminates all other foods, can help with autoimmune conditions, mental health issues, and other health problems. 
Impact on Peterson:
Peterson has reported experiencing positive impacts, such as reduced inflammation, improved gum health, and increased strength, since adopting the diet. 
Controversy and Concerns:
The diet has faced criticism and concern from some experts, who point to potential health risks like nutrient deficiencies and the difficulty of maintaining such a restrictive diet long-term. 
No Recommendation for Others:
While Peterson and his daughter have shared their experiences, they have also emphasized that they don't recommend this diet for everyone. "

My problem with the video is that it doesn't present any evidence that carbohydrates are harmful. He refers to it as a "glucose diet," but our bodies, especially our brains, run on glucose as a source of energy.

It's important to distinguish between glucose (which comes from starches) and sucrose (table sugar). There is overwhelming evidence that sugar is harmful to our health, but this doesn't apply in the same way to all carbohydrates. 

 When it comes to poor health, we could blame diet, excess weight, or a combination of the two. People gain weight because they consume more calories than they burn. Eating too many carbohydrates can contribute to this, but that doesn't mean we should eliminate them entirely. 

 I've also seen a number of videos claiming that humans are carnivores. That's simply not accurate. Only a few species are obligate carnivores that can survive on meat alone. Humans are omnivores; we have teeth and digestive systems adapted to a varied diet.

Hundreds of billions of stars are orbiting the Milky Way.  Sometimes they get close to each other.

I assume that the orbits don't have to be perfectly circular.   Reportedly, other stars have passed close to the solar system.

"Earth normally takes 24 hours, or exactly 86,400 seconds, to complete one full rotation, which is called a solar day."

A solar day is different from one complete rotation.  A solar day is the time that elapses from high noon to high noon.  But in a day, the Earth moves about 1 degree around the sun.  That means that high noon is about 1 degree different from one day to the next.

If we measure by the stars, a full rotation, called a sidereal day, takes 23 hours and 56 minutes.

Very few people deny that global warming is happening. The real debate is about how much it's occurring, how fast, and whether it's more dangerous than denying people access to affordable energy. Alarmists often ignore the potential benefits of CO2, moderate warming, and cheap, reliable energy.

I'm not a climate change skeptic; I'm a climate alarmism skeptic. Labeling people as "global warming deniers" or "climate skeptics" creates a straw man argument. The much-cited 97% consensus refers to relatively uncontroversial claims—that the Earth is warming and that human activity contributes to it. That's a far cry from a consensus on whether climate change is catastrophic or whether governments should take control of the energy sector.
