Stupidity is Fatal: Jordan Peterson's Family Dying to Eat Meat.

one of my viewers writes in Jordan
Peterson is smart about a lot of topics diet is not one of them period the science does not back up the eating of a pure meat diet over the past few months his wife has had kidney cancer and now liver failure she's been eating pure meat for almost two years it's too bad that some of Peterson's followers are blindly following Peterson without doing what he tells people to do think for yourself so the first thing that happened was a quit snoring that happened immediately took one week and I was snoring quite badly yep so that disappeared in a week and that was amazing oh that's interesting and then I had gastric reflux disorder that went away and then I lost seven pounds the first month I thought oh I have psoriasis that went away had floaters in my right eye which is also an autoimmune problem that went away I have had gum disease for thirty years that went away that went away that's amazing I'm 55 like my gum disease way to win I'm down to the same weight I was when I was 25 Wow yeah no kidding and I've got lots energy I wake up in the morning and I wake up that's never happened to me my whole life dr. Jordan Peterson is a scientist he's also a philosopher he's also an internet personality it seems impossible to believe that he hadn't done a Google search before making this decision this decision to go on a 100% meat diet when you make a decision of this kind you're not just rolling the dice with your own health you're not just putting your own wife and daughter at risk in this case even his baby granddaughter has been put at risk by this crazy diet fad there's a 100% chance that you're putting the lives of the animals at risk right there's only some percentile chance that this is gonna kill you whether through cancer heart attack diabetes what-have-you eating a diet rich in meat is proven it's proven to increase your chances of death to put it that seriously but you know what the animals the animals on the factory farms living their whole life under a steel shed on a concrete floor they don't stand a chance ABC News University of Texas study links meat to kidney cancer that's the sort of thing dr. jordan Peterson might have found right away with the Google Search Search a little bit further this is the sort of thing you get intake of red meat and processed meat that's discusses both and risk of renal cell carcinoma renal cell carcinoma what does that mean well in the first couple senses here you have explained to you renal cell carcinoma is the most common malignancy of the kidney it is the type of kidney cancer being discussed in this article globally RCC incidence demonstrates regional variations with each standardized incidence rates being about eleven point nine for 100,000 in developed areas and two point five per 100,000 in less developed regions boy huh so wealthier settled sedentary countries they have a much much higher rate of kidney cancer why do you think that is do you think that could be related to diet the consumption of red meat and processed meat has long been recognized as a risk factor of human cancer wait a minute are you telling me that a respected doctor sorry a doctor of one science or another a respected scientist philosopher and leader of public opinion like Jordan Peterson are you telling me that he chose to just completely overlook the well-established fact that eating red meat increases your risk of dying of cancer and to put himself not just on a diet rich in meat but a diet that consists 100% of meat that contains no vegetables at all no bread no fiber no fruit weight and it's a known carcinogen it's a known fact in the sciences that this causes cancer well I'm skeptical but I guess I have to keep reading the consumption of red meat and processed meat has long been recognized as a risk factor of human cancer as such meats are rich in well-established carcinogens such as heterocyclic amines polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and n nitroso compounds now I've never said any of those words out loud in my life before but hey I am NOT a scientist I do not have a PhD I'm just someone who knows how to use Google and you know there's an even more fundamental principle being put into practice here if you were to ask the question how can we be so certain that meat causes cancer that meat increases the prevalence rate of cancer that meat is gonna increase the odds of you ending cancer one way to answer that question is because we can look at the chemicals the Constituent chemicals that are found within the meat and we can prove that some of those chemicals are carcinogenic that they actually cause cancer how do we know how do we know that broccoli is healthy how do we know broccoli is good for you it's the same principle you can break down molecule by molecule what broccoli is made up of you can look at all the macronutrients and all the micronutrients and you can figure it out that a diet consisting of broccoli and beans is much much healthier than a 100% meat diet many epidemiological studies have investigated the association between the consumption of red meat and processed meat and the risk of our SCC we are using RCC here to refer to kidney cancer individual meat items says that ik there were positive associations between RCC risk and the consumption of beef hamburger and ham salami bacon and sausage now according to dr. Jordan Peterson's daughter the 100% meat diet that they're on is almost entirely beef I think they do sometimes eat some meat other than beef but it is predominantly beef and beef is a proven carcinogen it is also proven to be a cause of the particular cancer that is now imperiling the life Shirin Pearson's wife the results of this comprehensive meta-analysis show the consumption of red and processed meat is associated with increased RCC risk again RCC for our purposes as laypeople means kidney cancer as for the high versus low and linear dose-response meta-analyses there was significant heterogeneity across studies of both red and processed meat intake in nonlinear models RCC risk appeared to increase approximately linearly with increased intake of processed meat whereas there was evidence of nonlinear increased risk with increased intake of red meat yeah you know a lot of kind warm-hearted people will say to you it doesn't matter if you win or lose it's how you play the game it's hard to say that sort of thing when you take a gamble and what you're gambling with his life and death I think it really does matter to us whether we live or die I think it really does matter to us whether we die at 55 65 75 85 whether or not we have the health to do things like walk and buy or own groceries and continue our jobs or careers or education or whether we lack that basic on how it's not just how you play the game well for some people it seems like like well from massive amount well I think for far more people than we know I think people are carbohydrate poisoning themselves they can't believe to switch up the verbiage a little bit with that one if someone were to say to me it doesn't matter whether you're right or wrong it's merely how you play the game someone in Jordan Peterson's position should be able to take a long hard look at the fact that he's been wrong again and again and again and he should be able to reexamine the way that he's been playing the game Jordan you're wrong on this issue and it's gonna cost a whole lot of lives maybe it's gonna cost you your own life maybe it's gonna extinguish your wife many years earlier than she could have lived if instead she'd signed up for a fat diet of a hundred percent broccoli and beans or any other genuinely healthful foods we have no idea how many of your fans and followers are going to destroy their health and are going to die an early death because of your advice but there's an even greater nearly incalculable number of animals that are suffering that are scared that are alone on a concrete floor underneath the steel shed waiting to die just because you convince people to get on this sickening fat diet you didn't just make the wrong choice scientifically you made the wrong choice ethically and you could have at any point challenged your own self righteous ignorance and saved a lot of lives with a 30-second Google search
