ChatGPT is BS (Dr. Berg Proves It)
Should you trust ChatGPT’s health advice? Watch as Dr. Berg challenges ChatGPT’s health tips, testing its credibility. You may think twice about trusting ChatGPT’s health tips after this ChatGPT vs. Dr. Berg face-off!
Yesterday I got in a heated argument with ChachiPT. My wife actually came in and she’s like, “Who are you talking to? ” I was really frustrated because I wanted to see if Chachchip had at least basic truthful information in the area of health. How do they know this information is more truthful than something else? It’s basically weighted through medical consensus.
There’s so much medical dogma that ends up being completely false over periods of years. Today we’re going to take a deep dive and ask CHPT various questions and see what it says. Before I do that, I want you to comment down below and tell me how do you find your health information? Where do you go to get answers on health? The first question that I asked Chach PT is how do I lose weight?
And of course it said this, losing weight comes down to creating a sustainable calorie deficit. Burning more calories than you consume. Of course, this dogma has persisted and it’s going on right now. This is what the medical profession tells you to do to lose weight. They give you a tip.
A good starting point is to reduce your intake by 300 to 500 calories per day. Let’s just say you did reduce 500 calories. You’re just going to be so hungry because you’re not going to actually tap into your fat supply. You’re going to be dependent on the calories from the food coming in because you’re running on carbs. Then I asked Chachi, “What is the best diet for health?
” Number one, the Mediterranean diet. Of course, it’s lots of vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains. Moderate fish and poultry. Of course, you have to limit the red meat, sugar, and processed foods. I like how they put that together.
Limit red meat, sugar, and processed foods. Like, they lump those three together because they’re all of equal importance to avoid. Look at this. Optional moderate red wine. For women, that’s one glass per day.
For men, it’s two glasses of alcohol per day. First of all, if you’re recommending a diet good for health and you’re actually recommending alcohol, explain to me how that’s going to make anyone healthy. The second diet is, of course, plant-based. Here we got the same old same old recommendations. Okay.
Flexitarian diet. This is mostly plants with a moderate amount of protein. Same thing, lean proteins. And then we have the DASH diet for blood pressure, more grains, lots of vegetables, fish, and lean meat. Same old, same old.
But now we’re going to lower your sodium as well, right? Sodium has been found not to cause high blood pressure unless someone’s super sensitive and low in potassium. There’s just as many if not more problems with low sodium, especially if you’re going low carb because when you lower your sodium, you’re going to have weakness in the muscle and the nervous system. People actually need at least one teaspoon and a half per day of sea salt just to get enough sodium. Diets to avoid long term.
Here we go. Keto and carnivore can show fast results but hard to sustain, often lacks fiber, and can affect long-term heart health. There is absolutely zero evidence of that data. Again, where CHPT gets their data is from organizations like the American Heart Association, the American Diabetes Association. All of these organizations are heavily funded by certain individuals, certain industries that are going to make them very biased.
I mean, think about keto and carnivore. What kind of threat that is to all sorts of money, medications, junk foods. Basically, they called the keto and carnivore fad diet. Quick results, but often result in rebound weight gain and nutrient deficiencies. Wait a second.
The healthy version of the ketogenic diet in carnivore are so nutrientdense. Let’s just compare that with the dietary food guidelines, which by the way do not even measure up to give us our basic nutrients unless you include the three cups of refined grains from the fortification of the synthetic vitamins put in there just to make it have some nutrients. So again, chacha is just lying through its teeth. General principles for a healthy diet. Well, you have the mostly plants, whole grains, adequate water, enough protein, can be plant or animal.
You see what they just did? they just kind of uh made those two equal each other, which is absolutely not true. If you’re trying to get protein from plant, good luck. You’re going to be deficient. Next question is, is keto healthy to do?
Ketogenic diet can be healthy for some people shortterm, but it’s not ideal for everyone or for long-term health in most cases. But then here we go to the risks and the drawbacks. Nutrient deficiencies, fiber. I do a version of the ketogenic diet where I actually eat salad. I’m getting fiber and with greens you can get vitamin C, you can get a lot of magnesium, potassium difficult to sustain.
Many regain weight after stopping. Really actually I know a lot of people who have maintained their weight for a very long period of time and it’s very sustainable may negatively affect athletic performance. Uh no, it actually will help increase athletic performance. Possible impact on gut health. Yeah, positive impact on gut health.
Might be beneficial for type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes. That’s a lot of people, right? And so many people have blood sugar problems. Why wouldn’t this be a powerful tool? What is the best way to lower my cholesterol?
More fiber, their version of healthy fats, but replace saturated fats with unsaturated fats. In other words, we’re going to recommend the hearthealthy seed oils instead of the saturated fats. Again, this is just completely outdated uh dogma that is yes, it’s general consensus, but it’s completely outdated and false. Limit red meat and full fat dairy. That would be a mistake.
Replace some animal proteins with plant-based proteins. Plants don’t have complete proteins. The protein you get from plants is far inferior than the protein you get from animal products. Reduce dietary cholesterol. limit foods such as egg yolks, shellfish, organ meats.
Just ignore that because cholesterol is needed to make bile. It’s needed to make vitamin D. It’s needed to make all your cell membranes. It’s needed for your brain. It’s needed for your hormones.
Medications if necessary. H. Okay. This is what the experts say. Statins.
All right. Next question. Are seed oils really that bad? When cedos aren’t that bad? When used in moderation.
When cedos might be bad. highly refined. Well, that’s the majority of seed oils out there. Oh, I like this. The verdict.
Should I avoid seed oils? No need to demonize them completely. The key is balance and moderation. This is a play in their playbook. Everything in moderation.
So that way you can keep eating the junk food. There is no bad food. It’s just about balance and moderation. Well, when you have a chronic disease, you cannot just solve it by balancing your diet. you have to do something out of balance.
And I think this is how they normalize carbohydrates. They started to use arguments that we need uh carbs for our brain to the point where it’s like 65% of our calories are grains. What is the best recommendation diet and nutrition for someone with type 2 diabetes? Why do they add whole grains and legumes? Think about what causes insulin to spike.
It’s carbs. So what is diabetes? It’s a disease where there’s too much blood sugar. Why would you want to add more carbs to increase that sugar if type 2 diabetes is too much sugar already? Wow, look at this.
1/4 of your plate should be whole grains and starchy vegetables. Really, sweet potatoes? Why do you even recommend that for diabetes? This is ridiculous. Avoid large portions of carbs.
Be mindful. No. No. Don’t consume any carbs or or keep your carbs really reall
