Marc Bates, a leading metabolic health coach, has released a comprehensive YouTube video challenging the scientific foundation of modern dietary guidelines, arguing they fundamentally contradict human evolutionary biology and drive chronic disease epidemics.

The video presents evidence that current government recommendations promoting 45-65% carbohydrate consumption create chronic hyperinsulinemia, the root cause connecting diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer's disease, and cardiovascular dysfunction. Bates demonstrates how insulin resistance serves as "the spider at the center of the web" linking these conditions.

"The moment I saw insulin resistance at the root of virtually every chronic disease and then saw that it was fueled by the very guidelines we were told to trust, I knew I had to speak up," Bates states in the video. "We didn't evolve with MyPlate. We evolved as fat-hunters, and we thrived in ketosis."

The investigation traces the origins of current guidelines to Ancel Keys' flawed Seven Countries Study and subsequent industry influence from cereal manufacturers and seed oil lobbies. Bates attributes the guidelines to "scientific arrogance, institutional inertia, industry capture, and ideology masquerading as nutrition science."

Statistical evidence presented shows dramatic increases in metabolic dysfunction since the 1980s implementation of low-fat, high-carbohydrate recommendations. The video contrasts cellular responses between government-recommended high-carb meals versus ancestral carnivore nutrition, demonstrating how modern guidelines institutionalize metabolic sabotage.

Bates advocates returning to an evolutionary blueprint emphasizing animal-based nutrition, natural fats, and metabolic flexibility through fasting and ketosis to restore optimal human health.
