I have a question what are the chances that some of these cans are have parasites in them? I’m only asking because I’ve read about other canned foods like beans for example example having parasites in them.
i only eat grass fed sardines 🤣
are you only carno? that left over oil would make a really good salad dressing or maybe like that oil and balsamic vinegar with some good bread
I have an issue eating anything from a can. I put them in a bowl. Yum!!!
Where the omega-3s actually are
The DHA/EPA you care about are inside the sardine’s tissues, not sitting on the outside.
Specifically:
• In cell membranes (phospholipids)
• In muscle fat
• In organ tissue
• In skin and subcutaneous fat layers
These fats are structurally bound, not surface-coated.
They do not rinse off with water.
⸻
What is on the outside
What is on the surface of canned sardines:
• The packing oil (sunflower, olive, etc.)
• Some dissolved surface lipids
• Salt
• Sauce residues (if tomato-packed)
• Trace compounds from the can/liner
That oil:
• Is mostly the added oil, not fish oil
• Contains very little DHA/EPA relative to the fish itself
• Is where most omega-6 (in sunflower oil) lives
So rinsing removes mostly:
• Added oil
• Omega-6
• Contaminants
• Sauce acids
Not the core omega-3 payload.
⸻
Numbers matter (this kills the myth)
Typical breakdown (rough but realistic):
• >85–90% of DHA/EPA is inside the fish
• <10–15% may be in surface oil / liquid
Even that small surface fraction is not the biologically important part.
The mitochondria, brain, and RBCs care about:
• phospholipid-bound DHA
• Not free oil floating around the fish
⸻
Why the myth exists
This idea usually comes from:
• People confusing salmon skin fat with sardines
• People wanting to justify drinking the oil
• Culinary advice being misapplied to metabolic repair
In culinary terms, yes:
• Oil carries flavor
• Oil carries calories
In metabolic repair terms:
• The oil is irrelevant or even counterproductive (omega-6)
Of course you shit on sardines cuz the cost one dollar nd u can't make money off them
Thanks!
Sorry Sugar . I am not eating the oil Olive oil used in them cans are cut with Vegetable oil . get them in water drink the water. I will agree with that . Olive oil and even Avocado are cut all the time . not worth the risk .
How do you save the nutrient-rich (presumably EVOO) when you had stated earlier that we should eat sardines packed in water and not in oil, not even EVOO?
evoo is better than water…
Nothing but fearmongering!!!
Eating actual seeds (along with a whole fruit, for example) isn't "the worst we can eat" really. I mean, it's mostly neutral as we don't digest them. They go in and out with the "fertiliser" for the plant which is meant to grow from that seed. That's exactly how evolutionary adaptation made this to work. What makes it bad if we crush them whilst chewing, but we don't do that as there is a clear signal it's bad for us – seeds taste awful when we bite into them, don't they? So let's invent an industrial process to hack around this, extract oil and then eat it. What can go wrong, right? 😉
Hey gorgeous! I really love your content ❤ greetings from Greece 🇬🇷 I have a question for you, here in Greece we make salted sardines (it’s raw sardines only with salt, no water, no oil in a can). Before I eat them, should I rinse them with water of I will destroy the good stuff? What do you think? Thank you so much!! Sissi xx
Only get water no salt perfectly fine without the salt because fish is already kind of salty anyway when I get the wild caught and that sardines
I studied nutrition for 20 + years so I automatically know this stuff so if it’s just common sense, that’s why I’m really careful about my oils
My dad is a nutritionist for like 50+ years. He wasn’t one of the original old bodybuilder so I grew up with somebody telling me do not waste this part. It’s the healthiest part the skin is the healthiest part. The yolk is the healthiest part and it’s true sometimes the stem is the healthiest part anywhere I’m not carnivore because also my father being a nutritionist everything in moderation anyway, I will eat my sardines on a nice whole-grain toast and it taste so good any of that juice I give it to my kitty cats.
I've seen other videos that talk about sardines in Olive Oil are best, even more so than in water. I think this is more important if you need the fat in your diet as well, that is, you're already quit thin and are doing a sardine fast for several days…you may want the olive oil part for the fats. But yes, still not sunflower oil nor vegetable oil.
What do you think of Sardines in Hot Sauce or Mustard? Also what do you think of anchovies? They seem like a good alternative when you get tired of Sardines on the Sardine diet?
7:59 200mg of K(potassium) is insulting and im tired of seeing these "supplements" with 5%-8% of your total daily needs.. Magnesium is at about 20% and sodium 50% which is adding injury to insult considering its the only electrolyte in surplus in every single diet
First time I ate sardines, I had diarrhea for rest of the day. I really don't have time to stay near a toilet that long.
You're the best
Top quality carnivore content as always! Thank you!
Ok, so first you say, "no sardinha in oil, get rid of that junk!" And minutes later, you say "ohhh, don't throw away the vest that is in the can that OIL! Which is it? Make it make sense….
Wait are you saying you are Anti Olive Oil? Cause if so that needs its own video lol… I drink1-2 tablespoons of fancy Olive Oil every day.
I eat Nuri sardines in spicy tomato sauce or eat them packed in water only. Never buy them packed in oils! Water or tomato only
Nonsense. Get the sardines in olive oil. Completely safe, and healthy.
7:54 I'm sorry, does that dog have a neck pillow on?? 🤣🤣
11:33 sorry your clarification has left me more confused. How does one separate the sardine oil from the oil in the can/jar? And what if it's water packed?
everyone else says get them in olive oil. i dnt get the problem. i always get them in olive oil
I eat them whole and just squeeze some lemon over them. I love the taste of sardines, but paring it with lemon juice is just divine🤤
I mush avocados into my sardines and we bake our own sourdough bread plus, we mill our flour to get all the benefits from the wheat germ
Who are you and tell me what gives you the experience.
if one doesn't like the taste of the bones then they don't like the bones..lol
Is it maybe better to buy frozen sardines and fry or grill them in extra virgin olive oil? We can't get sardines in water in South Africa. Only those in cans in seed oil.
Check your pictures! You do not get olive oil from seed oil and those processes. We get real sardines with real extra virgin olive oil in spain, oil that stiffens in the fridge.
What about sardines packed in Extra Virgin Olive Oil?
I can get sardines only in sunflower oil (in the middle of Europe). I know that's far from ideal, so I pour out the oil, or at least the most of it.
I eat mine past date. But stored cool dark dry.
I've just started the Sardine Fast – 3 cans a day.
I'm a big guy 6'2" tall, and 100 kgs – mainly muscle, but I want to get down to about 85kgs or even lower, and just be musclem bone and skin!!
2 days into the fast, and I'm surprised I don't feel hungy.
I'm eating green vegies too, like cabbage, and broccoli.
The sardines I'm eating are Brunswick in Tomato Sauce.
I tried the ones in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, but they were dry and boring.
I'm going to go more carnivore from now on.
It's amazing now a lot of aches and pains disappear when you lower your carbs?
In Australia we get all in cans so not good to eat those? We get in olive oil so good to eat? Please advise
I love the tiny ones best, bone in skin on. I just eat them straight from the can. Eat the entire can. No need to cook.
What about mackerel?
