Today we’re going to talk about the fattest country in the world. In this country, the average person weighs 225 pounds. This country also has the highest rate of diabetes. Nauru, a small island in the South Pacific with a population of 11,000, is the fattest country in the world.
The island of Nauru was a rich source of phosphate and quickly became one of the richest countries in the world. When all of the phosphate was depleted from the land, the country went into a deep state of poverty where it has remained ever since.
Nauru’s obesity rate went from 2% to 61%. This was caused by the shift from a traditional diet of fish, coconuts, fruits, vegetables, taro, palm oil, and coconut oil without any grains or seed oils to a Westernized diet of processed foods.
Nauru’s soils have been depleted, so they’re no good for growing food. Over 40% of the marine life has been destroyed by pollution, and nearly 100% of the food is imported. Even water must be imported into Nauru.
Ultra-processed foods typically contain the following three types of ingredients that can cause many consequences for your health:
1. Artificial starches: Modified food starch, modified corn starch, maltodextrin
2. Synthetic sugars: Corn syrup, glucose syrup
3. Highly inflammatory seed oils: Corn, cottonseed, canola, soy, and safflower oils
Seed oils are the only trending item that parallels obesity, even more than sugar! They create nutritional deficiencies, inflammation, and cause you to feel hungry after eating.

Thanks for watching! I hope this has increased your awareness about Nauru and some of the reasons why it’s the fattest country in the world. I’ll see you in the next video.
Dr. Berg
I have been living in Costa Rica for 16 years, I have seen how the population have becoming fatter and fatter.
They used to eat “tortillas” and they slowly slowly changed to bread. etc.
I am Costa Rica, yes they want to be like USA people
Could you talk about obesity in babies. I see this situation all over the place. Must be horrible for the babies…
Yes… They just need to be fed healthy fats, butter for example, and good natural foods, and probiotics. Bad bacteria in the gut are connected to obesity, bad oils cause gut dysbiosis. Children NEED to be protected from refined oils, hydrogenated fats, and ultraprocessed junk.
@@JuliElisabett Exactly this. My 10 month old is a lean, mean, fighting machine who can keep up with his almost 4 year old brother. He is very bright and thrives on organic fruits and veg, EVOO, grass-fed butter and meat, beans and legumes, Greek yogurt and of course breast milk.
@@lindi792 oh, that is so great, just how it should be! I have a baby too, he’s one year and 7 months, he eats natural yogurt, a lot of meat, eggs, vegetables, fruit, and drinks fermented vegetables brine in spoonfuls. He looks so healthy and happy. I always wish for that for other children too.
@@JuliElisabett I never thought of fermented vegetable brine. That sounds like an awesome, healthy addition 😊
It’s a shame. Thank you Dr. Berg and team for bringing this up. Will check it out further just out if interest.
Thank you Dr Berg. This is alarming indeed Always great information , much appreciated .
Very glad to be of help.
It’s a crime on what they are putting in our foods. The food industry and the government need to be held accountable
We need education. We also need to hold pop culture to blame.
People have a choice of what they buy. They chose to eat that crap. Stop blaming everyone else. Start making better choices. It’s that simple.
@@charlotte1366 the problem is, under the idea of “universal health care”, we will ALL be paying for people who are making terrible food choices, and most of them have ZERO understanding so they literally cannot, and will not, ever change.
You are a traitor to the people. You do not understand, that stuff DOES NOT NEED to be put it the food, it’s purposely put there to poison, go support criminal organizations who murder, the choice is yours, but remember, traitors will be treated as such, the time is coming…@@charlotte1366
Easy to say. Harder to do. What have you done to hold them accountable? Tell us so we can learn from you.
I love you, Dr. Berg! Thank you immensely for continuing to educate us on how to live healthier, happier, higher quality lives! ❤
I’m glad to help!
Hi Dr.Berg, what’s your opinion on peanut oil? In my state it’s consumed in very high quantities, though it is seed oil, is it that bad as other seed oils? Thanks
good question
Quick search “Dr. Berg Peanut oil”.
Not the worst, but not a great choice either!
Nauru just broke diplomatic ties with Taiwan days ago and I was wondering what this country is about and Dr Berg makes this video. Thanks Dr Berg for always knowing what we need. Love from Taiwan❤
Thanks for watching!
Thank you Dr. Berg❤. Yes these foods and oils are HIGHLY inflammatory. These highly processed seed oils should ONLY be used for machinery lubricants.
Thanks for watching!
My husband bought soy oil, he said it was only for using on his chainsaw. None of that ever gets into our kitchen.
Hungary can also be somewhere in the top five, here almost only those who are not fat are those who are already so poor, that they no longer have enough money for food. We are also among the first in diabetes, cancer, alcoholism and, of course, corruption. Thanks for the video!
Sorry to hear that. UK is pretty much finished along with Australia, Canada and the US. Yet people are addicted to their phones and laptops social medias and not the countries they own and pay for or their childrens’ futures!! Take care!!?
Hello Dr.
I am on Keto diet and this is my sixth day.
This is not my first time doing Keto and intermittent fasting but this time is different. I felt nauseous. I lost my appetite from the second day and I can’t eat anything till the point where I forced myself to eat because I’m working and I was scared to collapse during work. I don’t know what happened or what’s going on with me and my body but I thought that it could be another type of Keto flu. Now I drank a little coffee with sugar and I felt better. I want to go back to my diet but I’m scared to do that again. I really wanna hear your advice.
Thank you very much 🙏
You might ve having Sugar withdrawals
Good morning Dr Berg , as always, thank you for your time to educate us on our health 🌝have a great weekend and keep well 🤜🤛
I have five kids. Slowly over the past year I’ve removed all seed oils from their diet. Along with some of the worst snacks we used to buy for them. I don’t think the realize how much healthier they look. The more I have learned I can apply it to their lives. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
Once again… great info! Thanks Dr Berg!
🙋💕
Glad you liked it!
Dr. Berg, as a lawyer, I appreciate you mentioning limitations of regulation, and regulation comes at a huge cost. Education really is the answer and what is lacking the most.
Yes, but how can a little education compete with mountains of misinformation? I think you already know the answer!
The fact that we get free medical videos on YouTube by Doctor Berg is truly a gift. 👍👍👍
I didn’t know the definition of food before watching this video. It’s crazy to think so many things people eat don’t actually meet the definition.
Thank you so much for this relevant content, Dr Berg. Your continuous educational videos bringing awareness concerning our health are priceless in a corrupted world ruled by corporate greed and evil. We need more people like you. Stay strong and blessed 🙏🏻
Thank you for educating me on this today. I appreciate it Dr. have a great awesome day. Love you.
I have a question regarding the seed oils being inflammatory and oxidized, does this also apply to cold press chia or flaxseed oils (eco ofc)?
I was thinking of pressing my own (but not use these for cooking as they handle high temperatures poorly).
