Interesting stuff!
Fun post! I've said it a million times here, I used to shop for my 99 year old grandmother and her order looked "unhealthy" next to mine. Sometimes I wonder if our sugar urges could be about wanting calories that aren't tainted with veg-toxins like VA. Pure unadulterated calories.
Now, Price considered the addition of sugar to "primitive" people he studied as the worst thing they were exposed to and the reason they suddenly would get crooked teeth. Sometimes now I wonder if it was something else in the modern foods, such as sprays used in agriculture or vitamin A supplements in baby milk products that did them in.
Yum, I'd like to drink more coke. I value my teeth though...
If low vA makes my teeth immune to sugar and phosphoric acid then I'll stock my fridge up! lol

Going through Nutrition and Physical Degeneration I get the impression that the refined foods did not just displace whole plant foods but they often displaced meat and dairy as well:
During my investigations in eastern Australia I was informed that the birth rate among the whites
had declined over a large area and to such an extent that many families had no children and many
women could produce only one child. The diets used in that district were very largely refined white-
flour products, sugar, polished rice, vegetable fats, canned goods and a limited amount of meat.
The individuals in the modernized districts [Switzerland] were found to have widespread tooth decay. Many had facial and dental arch deformities and much susceptibility to diseases. These conditions were associated with the use of refined cereal flours, a high intake of sweets, canned goods, sweetened fruits, chocolate; and a greatly reduced use of dairy products.
This would result in K2 deficiency since meat, animal fat, cheese and greens are our main sources of K.
Vitamin K2 and Cranial Development
A lot of these vegetable avoiding centenarians consume plenty of meat or cheese.
On a low vA diet, in addition to meat, cabbage is a good source of K. There are other foods high in K and low in vA too like grapes.
Another factor is that chewing may promote optimal maxilla development, refined foods meant less chewing.
One other thing, Vit K is present in many vege oils but many vege oils appear to also contain squalene. In Smith's latest video he shows a study where both retinoic acid and squalene depleted Vit K. Not sure how significant this is but vege oils could be exacerbating Vit K deficiencies. Olive oil is high in squalene though and that has a long history of use so who knows...
PUFA itself depletes Vit K:
In rats, dietary fish oil causes a plasma triglyceride-lowering as well as hypocoagulant effect. The latter is apparent from reduced levels of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors and a decreased thrombin-forming potential of the coagulating plasma. Here, we describe that intervention with low levels of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs, about 2.5% of digestible energy, en%) resulted in no more than a small reduction in coagulation factors, when supplied as part of a high-fat diet relatively rich in vitamin K. Plasma triglycerides also remained unchanged. On the other hand, when feeding rats with low- or high-fat diets restricted in vitamin K, intervention with 3 en% of n-3 PUFAs acids (fish oil) caused only a lowering in triglycerides in combination with high fat. The fish caused a reduction in coagulation potential and levels vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors (prothrombin and factor VII) that was most prominent with the low-fat diet. Fish oil, in combination with low fat but not with high fat, reduced the vitamin K levels in the liver of the animals. In addition, regardless of the fat content, the vitamin K-independent coagulation factor V was decreased in the fish oil groups. Taken together, these results indicate that, in the rat, the hypocoagulant effect of a low dose of n-3 PUFAs is most apparent at low intakes of both vitamin K and fat, is not linked to the triglyceride plasma level, but involves modulation of both vitamin K-dependent and -independent coagulation factors.
Vitamin K-Dependent and Vitamin K-Independent Hypocoagulant Effects of Dietary Fish Oil in Rats
I don't think Buffett is a human worth actively following. He is portrayed as just a self-made man, which is far from the truth (see quote below). From the article you linked they also mention that Buffett as well as Bill Gates eats McDonalds regularly and love it. In the same way Buffett mentions Cherry Coca-Cola in his diet which seems like an obvious self-promotion since Berkshire Hathaway is the current biggest owner of Coca-Cola stock with 10% ownership, and has been a huge owner since 1988.
"The Rockefeller family was always extremely powerful, but its power has increased greatly since 2001. Rockefeller is behind Berkshire Hathaway and Warren Buffett, and you now see them everywhere. As just one example, they have been buying up all the available stock of Goldman Sachs, to the tune of around $10 billion. That is a lot of stock. How do I know Rockefeller is behind Buffett? Just go to this BloombergView article of 2013, which tells us about the Northern Pipeline adventure and Benjamin Graham's start in the big leagues in 1926 courtesy of Standard Oil. Of course this same Graham was the mentor of Buffett. We are told Buffett built himself from the ground up like Horatio Alger and Jack London, but this is another fib. Like the rest, Buffett was born to wealth. He got his start in his dad's company, Buffett-Falk Investments. His dad was a four-term US Congressman, so far to the right he earned a zero rating from Americans for Democratic Action. So Warren had connections from the start. Buffett now pretends to be on the side of the little guy, but that is all another smokescreen for the incredibly gullible. He also claims he is giving away 99% of this wealth. Funny, Andrew Carnegie claimed the same thing and never got around to it. These guys never do. They just create fake charities as fronts for even more money-making."
Since I was writing about K2 I'll post this analysis of K2 content of pork products here.
@lil-chick It might interest you that pork sausage is rich in K2. I assume lard is too. I challenge anyone to provide a source showing that pork is high in retinoic acid. Pork sausage is high in both K2 and thiamine, both crucial nutrients while detoxing vA.
@david I think you are right and I suppose there isn't much meaning to what their publicists put out as an answer to: what is "celebrity X" fave meal? The answers may be lies, marketing schemes or worse. Still it did get us talking about things, which is always fun.
@tim-2, I KNEW I LIKED BACON :)... even little toddlers just off the breast LOVE BACON 🙂 I feel my attitudes toward animal fats changing slightly...in that I don't know if VA supplements might be getting through in them. However, animal fats have been on the plus side of my equation for the majority of my life. I'm trying not to fear them. Too much 😉
@lil chick
I don't think Buffett is someone anyone should associate with or even discuss in any positive matter, which in this case is doing a vitamin A detox diet.
I think we all could see that first posted article about Buffett's 90th birthday was just a commercial for Coca-Cola Cherry and McDonald's while also indirectly connecting it to a long and prosperous life, here Warren Buffett's.
Connecting commonly known bad and unhealthy things such as sodas and fast food to a long and prosperous life will cause some degree of cognitive dissonance in anyone reading the article and stir the reader's brain to mush. The article is simply created to say all kind of unlogical things. Here is a made-up example of an unlogical idea in the article and made-up one example of why connecting Buffett to any vitamin A detox is a BAD idea.
"With a vitamin A detox diet I can eat unhealthy fast food and drink sodas every day."
"Of course a vitamin A detox diet is a crazy idea, they think you can drink sodas and eat fast food every day and still be healthy."
Discussing the ideas of this non-content of an ad that is made to look like an article won't do any normal people any good.
PS. Another cognitive dissonance thing is:
"Why would two of the world's most rich men, Gates and Buffett, eat fast food and drink sodas? -The article even says that one steak , rib eye, for 50$ is modest lunch option." Modest and 50$ lunch steak is also unlogical for common people.
