So my question is if you don't eat your daily requirement for calories can you have high cholesterol and low blood pressure How does one tell if you have bought butter or margarine Would you have any ideas on ADHD I know suger and caffeine is not good ADHD people like for people who don't want meds
@Dr. Sten Ekberg, Would you please make a video on protein supplements such as whey..... and so on, and also other supplemens such as creatine. Thank you!

My Dad had a PHD in chemistry and worked for the food industry all his life so needless to say, he knew exactly what goes into these "foods". He did not allow processed crap at home, he used to call it "poison", I am lucky to have been educated that way. Avoid process stuff at ALL COSTS!

Thanks Dr Sten Ekberg I was at 308lbs and within 4 weeks following your directions I'm down to 278lbs. Thank you so much. I've been trying everything for years and you have been my savior.
38 years ago I had tremendous health issues. Doctors gave up on me. So I went to the health food store and bought books about diet. Changed my diet to the extreme. Avoided these foods completely. And within a couple months I became very very healthy.

..well.. depends if u belive in witchdoctors.... according to this video Ripe Tomatoes and most vegestables are higly toxic...let me explain Monosodium Glutamate (or Umami) is a Umami-Sodium salt (regular table salt is mainly NaCl (Natrium Cloride...wich IS toxic in extreme dosages), Sodium-Umami is also a major part of milk, Most proteins and a major part of breast milk... so definetly NOT Toxic in any normal manner.... in excess yes...but then clean water is toxic too...
Its outlawed but who will act against as food companies manipulate these and ready for long legal activity to frustrate anyone who acts. Top government honchos can but both top officials and politicos receive amounts regularly to keep them quiet.

There's two things you need to do: 1. build muscle aka the metabolism boosting - calorie burning body tissue. 2. learn how to track macros and eat at calorie deficit - the three building blocks of calories. Try 30% of total calories fats, .8-1g of protein per body weight, and the rest carbs. If this is confusing, start learning it now. Surprisingly you can eat better and more than you think, if home cooked. Also, mostly every item he listed here you can eat, and are eaten by those people who successfully lose weight. Make sure you get into the habbit of buying groceries every week, cooking your meals every day - this active activity will help you be hand on regarding tracking. Eat for fuel for physical and or cognitive endeavors and post recovery only, no boredom eating nor eating for fun (yet - only when youve earned it by building enough calorie burning muscles).
16:40 "Here we have a labelling trick; it's called lying." Absolutely!! And anytime you see quite small serving sizes, you can be pretty sure that's what is going on... Thank you, Dr Ekberg, for calling this out!!
IKR? For example, a very popular cooking spray gives the nutritional information based on a 0.1 second spray dose, how the heck can someone spray that thing for only 100 milliseconds? Lol 😆
If there's 0.4999 grams or less, you get to round down and call it zero. Isn't that great? We should apply that idea in other areas of life. If you're an athlete, for example, you don't have to cross the finish line. You can stop three meters short of it and just say you finished. If you're building houses, you can cover the roof with tar paper and skip the shingles. It's close enough.
@@Struwwel2 And if you owe less than a thousand pounds on your mortgage you can just skip that last payment, and how about taxes, yes, let's do this for everything! LOL!
Exactly, the CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agenc), and the FDA/USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) should be brought up on some kind of charges, this along with the drugs they approve which harms people daily are in charge of allowing these problematic foods to flood the market its sicken, and they know these ingredients are harming people. I didn't know it was this bad though
@@GCT1990 Yeah, they should be disbanded so we can go back to having organic, straight from the ground, unpasteurized, parasitized foods and leave nature to take it's course with diseases in humans
There is a company in the UK called Finnebrogue, who produce a range of ham, bacon, etc., called 'naked'. They do not use nitrites, but do use natural flavouring. I have written to them asking what their 'natural flavours' are. If I get a reply, I will post again.
Doctors with UA-cam channels educating like this is a Godsend. Preventative medicine requires education and you giving people access to information is much appreciated.
I just discovered your YT Channel this week. I’ve been raised to eat all this toxic stuff. Thank you for breaking down the whys associated with the “bad food” labels on this list. Being at retirement age and looking at my propensity to eat these foods, my saving grace is that I want to live as healthy as possible to enjoy the remaining years of my life. Thank you for dispelling so many myths associated with healthy living. I look forward to reviewing all of your content.
When Sucralose came out I started using it on everything. I made lemonade, I used it in my coffee, I put in dessert recipes, I consumed it in large quantities. I then started losing weight fast. I was urinating almost non-stop. I developed an insatiable thirst. I was to the point that I started checking my blood glucose levels thinking I was a diabetic. Then it hit me that I was not hyperglycemic, but I was “hyper-Sucralosemic”! All symptoms resolved when I stopped consuming Sucralose. It behaved like an osmotic diuretic in my body. I believe that they should post a maximum “dose” on the package.
Yes. Healthy food isn't readily available locally for many people. That's one of the reasons our obesity rates are so high compared to other countries.@@VideoDotGoogleDotCom
As a nurse, I always found that taking the time to read "nutritional information" facts on products was very scary. When you take the time to actually look up some ingredients, you realize you should not be putting poisons in your body. I once worked as a community health supervisor for the Red Cross and made it my mission to try and get low income people to eat healthier. It wasn't easy. I distinctly remember my mom buying margarine in the early 60's. It was basically white and came with a little bubble of orange colored liquid which you would mix into the margarine to color it. I don't even want to know what was in there 🙄 Thank you Dr for another amazing video.
One thing to remember though is that dosage makes the poison. Every substance is a poison in the right dosage. Likewise even the most toxic compounds can be fine in tiny amounts. This applies to artificial and natural chemicals.
I guess I am extremely blessed and fortunate to have made it to 62 being in perfect health and on no medications considering that I was raised eating nothing but fake food and garbage. It wasn’t until the last 10 years that I learned all this and completely changed my diet. ❤
@@Vivungisport My dad quit smoking in his late 60s after smoking since he was a teenager and having a stent installed. He lived to 88. I noticed he didn't have that hacking cough anymore after a few years. So, I believe that it's never too late.
"A labelling trick, called LYING" genius. I learned that labelling trick the painful way many times over when trying to clean up my eating due to allergies to wheat, gluten, yeast, back in 2005. I found out, painfully, that the food companies do not have the consumer's best interests at heart and the only way to eat was whole foods. That doesn't mean it's been smooth sailing, with the advent of better gluten free products and better labelling (at least in the UK), I've stacked on the weight, going from very slim to being 40+ lbs overweight. Hence here I am relearning everything 🤔🇬🇧
Whew!! The deli meats portion was a concern. I eat a lot of Prosciutto Parma so I had to go to their website and verify what I’d seen on the label. Zero anything. Only sea salt used in the curing process. Rinsed with warm water and lard applied to aid in the final curing, but no additives of any kind and the animal is specifically raised to a higher standard. So glad I can keep eating this!
Sick animal sick body. That animal is raised on corn. So your eating all those toxins it was raised on and toxic fat. Organic grass fed is the only healthy meat.
Everything in moderation! Including advice. Many of the items on this list are just fine if you make them yourself. Bread is an ancient food that humans have been consuming for thousands of years with few negative health effects. Bake your own bread at home and you'll eliminate most of the problems described here. The same goes for fruit juice. Buy a good blender and make your own. It tastes better than the prepackaged stuff in the store and it's good for you.
Fruit juice is not good whether natural or bottled. Fruits are over-rated. Naturally we find more vegetables than fruits. Hence, we follow nature. Fruit is an occasional delicacy not a necessity. There are many economically challenged individuals and they should not spend on fruits rather eat vegetables nuts and a little bit of grains.
Really! It sounds like you have an addiction to wheat and are trying to justify it. Body processes wheat the same as sugar so you will never get the benefits of low carb/keto. Body will use the carbs first and turn the excess to fat. Keep on lying to yourself if it helps
@@RotatingLocomotive Being scientifically accurate makes a big difference. @ukpsmiling2 is absolutely correct. If these experts are not scientifically accurate, how can we believe anything they say? Look at the "Enriched Noodles", they are just wheat flour and eggs "enriched" with Niacin (vitamin B3), Ferrous sulfate is a type of iron that's used as a medicine to treat and prevent iron deficiency anaemia. Iron helps the body to make healthy red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body, Thiamine mononitrate (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2) and Folic acid which is another B vitamin. It helps the body make healthy new cells. Do you have to eat canned chicken noodle soup - No, can you make it fresh yourself - absolutely yes! Then take MSG for instance, its the sodium salt of glutamic acid, which is found naturally in food like tomatoes, mushrooms, aged cheeses such as parmesan and Roquefort and aged beef. It is also produced by the body. Under normal conditions, humans can metabolize relatively large quantities of glutamate, which is naturally produced in the gut in the course of protein hydrolysis. In Asian cuisine, cooking kombu (seaweed) with protein creates the the sodium salt of gutamic acid (MSG). The white powdery subtance on kombu is not mold, its the amino acid glutamine. Interaction of the kombu broths with other umami-producing ingredients like bonito flakes (katsuobushi) or shitake mushrooms creates natural flavor enhancers. Bonito flakes have inosinic acid, and shitakes have guanylate, both of which act synergistically with the glutamic acid in kombu to create a lot more umami than kombu alone. So you see, you do not need to add packet MSG to achieve the flavor enhancing effects of MSG, you can just use it in its natural form. And if you are still hung up about the myth that MSG is bad for you, you can avoid eating all the foods mentioned above, where MSG is naturally occurring.
I’ve been saying this to my family and friends for a while now, but when I saw your video I said you know what 🤔 They may not want to listen to me talk about health all day, but they will watch the video. So I sent it to them. Thanks for the video.
LOL. I can totally relate. I tell wife: "you need to watch this video". Wife: "no, you watch it and tell me about it". So I tell her about the content and conclusions. Then she says that I'm not a doctor and don't know what I'm talking about.

Well, food doesn’t come in boxes and packages. 99.9% of what is sold in grocery stores is products, not food. I shop the perimeter, with quick trips into the aisles for olive oil, vinegar, spices, lentils, beans, tomato sauce, canned diced tomatoes, rye bread, and keto tortillas with olive oil and flaxseed. That’s it.
Almost a month in, on a no processed food diet! My body feels so amazing. Didnt have any health issues, just wanted to do this for myself. I gave away $500 worth of food I had and started over with ONLY Organic foods and drinks. I do drink beer, but only 1-2 when working outside. I make sure to drink alot of water afterwards. New sub here! love the information!
I drink tequila straight daily with water to wash it down. I smoke weed daily too. I'm 41 but people think im 24. I don't get it... I really need to stop it's killing me...
Ethanol is still a toxin and a carcinogenic...you aren't drinking a glass of ethanol when you drink alcohol...and besides we know how alcohol can lead to death.
Do not eat Frozen Pizza Reddish sausages or meats (nitrites) Sweeteners Fruit juices Sugar drinks Cup noodles „Nutella“ Fast processed bread cocos fat (saturated and often hardened) palm oil/fat
So basically just don't buy unnatural / processed stuff. Buy fresh / raw ingredients and make all of these foods yourself (mins the drinks) in a healthy way then you're good.
@@Hendoneesia It takes a little planning to get into the mood of eating keto or paleo, but once you figure out how to plan/prep it becomes easier. You start finding easier ways to do it. When you use one of those ways of eating you will full more often and won't always want to snack. Oh, and this comes from a construction Superintendent who oversees multiple companies on construction sites 12-16 hrs a day/5-7 days a week. Once I started IF and eating fewer processed foods and more natural foods I dropped 15 lbs and have kept the weight off.
Exactly, I lived in the UK for 15 years and their diet has took a toll on me, I have developed serious IBS symptoms, so I was forced to change my diet, since I did it I feel a lot better. I’ve started to basically eat only foods that have retained their natural appearance, i do not eat processed foods a part from rice. I do indeed spend a bit more but I have to admit I feel a lot better and I will save up in future medical bills. I buy fresh free range eggs from a farmer near my house, I only buy Swiss free range organic beef or chicken from the butcher once a month ( I live in Switzerland) I buy fresh fruits and vegetables that are seasonal and locally grown from a cheap farmers market near me, they deliver a full box for $10 every week, I try to eat raw vegetables as much as I can (carrots, peppers, tomatoes and spinach’s) I only drink tap water and I filter it with my Brita caraffe, I stay away from breads, butter, cheeses, the only thing I still eat that is made with dairy is natural yogurt. I also eat a lot of fish, I avoid Nordic wild or raised fish since the Nordic sea is the most polluted. I mean it is hard work but processed foods are overfilled with all these weird ingredients that I have to avoid completely.
A phenomenon I've been noticing as well is a very soft "whole-wheat bread" being sold in markets. By reading the nutritional information, you can tell it's rich in sugar and added gluten, which probably all-in-all makes it as bad or even worse than white bread despite the increased nutrients. A good reminder of how vicious and untrustworthy the food industry actually is.
absolutely. If one has to buy processed foods, please always read the label - then question it. Btw, you can make your own bread, and decide what to put in it. Just stay away from white, processed flours.
@@Q_QQ_Q true.. i don't know anyone with a bread machine... i have one i bought at Zellers years ago, it made sour dough bread so easily, but i gave it up due to the carbs...
@@willettmary889 I don't think people really understand diet here. They do what everyone else is doing thinking everything will be fine. They end up getting a slew of health issues. For me it feels socially awkward to be on a certain diet. Friends get together for food and people want to push unhealthy food.
Great reminders to avoid the junk we are marketed heavily to consume. It's somehow easy to forget just how nasty these "poisons" are and how they confuse the normal body functions. Thanks Sten, you make a big difference in our lives, our extended longevity and wellness.
just a super minor thing. While explaining positive ingredients you circled it with red color and negative with green. You can flip those colors, to achieve much greater effect, since we are often conditioned to see green as go and red as no/danger.
I am grateful to Dr Ekberg, who takes the time and energy and has the intelligence to present these fantastic seminars on how to be healthy. He spends his career saving lives in my opinion. You are my hero.
I raise my own beef chickens and pigs and have for years recently decided to stop buying seed oils (except olive oil) even considering grinding my own flour from home grown wheat. I can say even though my friends and family think we’re crazy health issue wise we’re in way better off than most.
Twenty years ago I started drinking cranberry juice thinking it was healthy and after my yearly checkup my doctor told me my lipid profile showed a high level of triglycerides. Stopped all juices including fresh squeezed orange I would sometimes have at breakfast. I always limited my sugar intake by avoiding all the obvious sources like soda, cakes and candy as I knew excess sugar was detrimental for health yet overlooked the high sugar content of fruits and especially fruit juices. Triglycerides dropped from 270 to 101 even though I still ate the occasional slice of watermelon or a very small slice of fruit pie and still managed to lose twenty pounds in three months. They tell you to eat your fruits and vegetables but I would say to watch your mangoes.
You obviously need to exercise a lot more than you do if you have that issue, it would not happen from cranberry juice alone so I'm inferring here....you live an unhealthy lifestyle with low exercise?
@@dxublexxsplicitxxsplicit4943 Working in construction gave me more exercise than most. Fruits and fruit juices contain fructose. Excess fructose increases triglycerides. It’s not that complicated. As I say, watch your mangoes.
@@apenza4304 funny, I do roofing but I mean construction work is hard but it's not exercise, not much cardio. So again, you probably just haven't excercised enough dawg
@@apenza4304 if you have high fat in your blood you obviously either have underlying issues, you are lieing about how much you exercise or you are lieing about the diet. Other than that possibly your biology is different than most and you may have a low metabolism. Again it's not just the food
Such a nice educational video. This feels like a lecture that should be put in schools. The amount of knowledge and how much it could save people from bad health.
Thank you so much for this truthful video💚 Since becoming a parent many years ago I became interested in nutrition. I remember reading a book called "Back to Eden" which I tried to follow. I'm 69 now, no meds, feel fantastic, but was just diagnosed pre- diabetic (because of my love for sweets). Now it's time to get back to eating healthy, but it may be harder because I live below poverty, and we all know that eating healthy is very expensive. Nevertheless I can grow food, barter with friends and do the best I can with what I have💛💛💛 I am very grateful to you Dr. Ekberg!
You can reverse pre-diabetes. Good luck to you, stay away from processed foods - and your carbs should only come from unprocessed plant products, preferably from a farmers market.
Than you Dr. Sten; for sharing your knowledge. i was walking through my local food store, and noticed that if you could take away all the junk foods, and man made foods, the store would be almost empty!
If aspartame delivers methanol to your bloodstream, it would seem like a no-brainer to avoid the sweetener at all costs, but there's a confounding factor: methanol is also found in all sorts of harmless foods, especially fruits and vegetables, in quantities comparable to foods that contain aspartame. In fact, aspartame-flavored soda contains less than half the methanol found in the same volume of many fruit juices.
he said ethanol. he also referred to formaldehyde as "embalming fluid" which is deceptive. embalming fluid has formaldehyde in it, so does a newborn infant's body. you produce and pee out formaldehyde in trace amounts day to day
@@jamescheddar4896 Check the pinned comment. He said ethanol by accident, he meant methanol. And yeah, formaldehyde is pretty normal in moderate amounts
@@varujhanchapanian7006 Same. I'm not aware of any actual scientific studies saying aspartame in reasonable amounts is bad for people who don't get headaches from it, but I get horrible splitting headaches from it so I avoid it.

@@aero1850 - Well, he never mentioned to avoid Chocolate Chip Cookies, Oreo Cookies, Ice Cream, Candy Bars, Cheeseburgers, or Hot Dogs on this list, so I think I'm safe!
IKARIANOFFICIAL: obviously he didn’t mention all the stuff that you implying because when he was explaining about all the different ingredients and also the meaning of each one, you have to understand that anything it’s not organic or natural is going to have the same poisoning ingredients. So we must have common sense🤓
Being a fellow Swede I certainly agree with being shocked when moving to the US and seeing potato chips as "food" (sold together with meals). Love your channel. Changed to mostly wholefoods past years and I've never been in better shape or health. Greetings from Beijing 🌆🏯😊☀️
@@Dutchy-1168 thanks for clarifying, I mean that it's often an option to add in many restaurants as part of the meal (Subway one example crossing my mind), that and soda 🥤
@@JohanFitFoodie the point is that in the US snack sometimes becomes food. Also, fruit juice is not the same as canned/boxed juice that is pasteurised. In the other countries fruit juice means fresh juice, fruits that are squeezed/processed just before drinking the juice
It is complicated. Labeling regulations, I don't remember the exact cutoff number, but if the "mg" is below a certain number, the label will round down. And even if it has a trace amount, like say 0.00001 grams, labeling requires you still list in ingredients. But the nutrition requires to be listed. And of course manuf will put 0g.
Being 300 pounds and 44 years of age, I'm rethinking a lot about my diet. I ate like a teenager for most of my years eating things like pizza, ice cream and soda. I'm paying more attention to what's in our food and there's a lot of things in this video I already knew, but just brushed it out of my mind when it's time for a meal. You don't often think about what's in processed food when you're eating. I haven't touched diet cola in months and I haven't had any ice cream in over a month. While I do enjoy a soda with my meal, my next step is to have water with my meal as I'm trying to cut out excess sugar. I've gone months at my job without drinking diet soda and I've gotten used to drinking just water these days while I'm at work. I still find it difficult to resist buying a pizza when I'm out grocery shopping, but I do manage to find some success just by ignoring my craving for it. I'm hoping in time as I cut these foods out of my diet that my body will drop some weight with the physical activity I get while I'm working and while I'm out riding my bike for exercise.
The good news is you can return to a normal weight in a year. Just managing your carbs, ensuring they only come from pure foods, will allow you to knock off the weight. If you can, stay away from all processed foods (any meal type foods created by a company, like frozen pizza, mac and cheese, etc etc)
Sounds like you're on the right track, keep making small changes and over time it will be a big change! Look into keto pizza, there are recipes and premade in some stores, just watch portion size.
Amazingly simple to understand! You explained everything very thoroughly. I must start to read the ingredients label more carefully now. Thank you, THANK YOU, !!
Thank you for the detailed information. This is highly valuable. I've always tried to stay away from any processed foods as well. I always read labels.
Some healthy replacements for things on this list that will result in weight loss are 1) Diet Coke - Water 2) Canned Tuna - Chicken Breast 3) F. Maple Syrup - No Sugar Syrup 4)Bread - Carb Balance Wraps or Oats 5)Margarine - Olive Oil 6)Energy Drinks - Black Coffee 7)Fruit Juice - Vegan Protein Powder & Real Fruits Blended up 8) Cold Cuts - Real Sliced Meat
Great video found this video by chance and I'm glad i did. I like the detail explanation that goes into each food or snack. I'm really surprised and i'm looking forward to more videos.
Yep. I've told my daughter for years that she needs to look at ingredient labels and let her know that the more ingredients that there are, particularly when the words are unknown to her and/or hard to pronounce, that it isn't good for her body.
@@Lychee7 Not exactly. You should eat food that you've grown/harvested yourself because only then you know what's in it. Raw fruits and veggies purchased at the farmer's market may (and typically do) contain pesticides and other chemicals that can make you equally sick and, because they are "fresh" unpackaged products, they don't even have labels to show it...So do meats. The reality is that, if you take modern nutritionism to its extremes, everybody should become a off-the-grid farmer and only eat the bounty of their own personal farm, which would probably bring the world back to the Middle Ages.
Dr. Ekberg, I have a topic suggestion for you. I have been struggling with this question and would LOVE your perspective. For someone who maintains a healthy weight and follows a ketogenic diet for the overall health benefits and wellbeing they accrue from it, should they cycle onto "acceptable carbs" (sweet potatoes, etc.) for a week or two every two to three months in order to promote metabolic flexibility? I would LOVE to know whether carb cycling of this kind is beneficial for metabolic health or is unnecessary and should be avoided, and if it is recommended, what is the best way to proceed with acceptable carb cycling. Thank you for all you do!
i honestly don’t think it’s worth it unless you have a higher carb meal at least once a week your body will never adjust to carbs again. 2-3 weeks isn’t often enough
Wow I was fed that unnamed soup my whole childhood...and my brother and I were obese and often sick. We were fed canned soup,sandwiches including lunch meat and pbj. Also chips and coke. Breakfast was chocolate milk and cupcakes. When I look back we're lucky we even got out of childhood.
Me too. My mother just didnt care. She cared more about her research as a biochemist than caring for a child. No wonder I have brain cancer now. Useless mothers lol
super happy to know that none of them is in my diet anymore (exept the fresh tuna). the more I grow up the more I become sensetive to what I put in my body!
The real problem we get into here is that most of these foods are affordable and people on low, middle and fixed incomes have become dependent on them for cheap, easy meals.
@@robertoperaza2683 Pretty much. Healthier alternatives almost always cost more. My grocery shopping habits have always depended on my income. At times I wasn't doing as well I was glad things like canned soup and lunch meat were available.
But some people spend their money on beer, cigarettes and marijuana so there is little left over for food so they stuff themselves with chips, soda and left over pizza slices when they feel hungry.
Wow, I'm fortunate to be alive! I was raised on canned soups, white bread sandwiches made with cold cuts, margarine, artificial maple syrup, etc, etc. As an adult I eat only homemade soups, no white bread (and very little bread at all), real butter, and occasionally ( a few times a year) only real maple syrup. I guess my taste buds were on spot for me to make these healthy changes. Thank you for this video...very informative.
But for sure you're still young. Bad eating habits don't show some consequences easy. Eating junk food means standing in the line to doctors when you're old (I mean over 60 the way you've treated yourself till now is visible).
@@florida83 You mean old people? But why they are on medicines? Cause they treated themselves bad through their younghood and middle ages: junk food, too much drinking/smoking, lack of sleep, too many negative emotions, stress. All of it makes you became one of clients in drugstore.
This is exactly why I LOVE this doctor so much. I really enjoy his humor as well as his ACCURATE information and professional mannerism. He is a true gem 💎. Honest, knowledgeable, and charismatic. As I said before.....he is an angel sent by God. The information he provides can save people's lives by improving their health.
“This is a labeling trick...it’s called LYING” loved that 😆 Companies are quite sneaky about these things...and the FDA or whomever, is ok with it 🤦🏻♀️ At our expense!
Somethings that frustrate me like peanut butter. If you get the so called Natural Healthy varieties they tend to get stuck in your throat. Nothing healthy about choking to death .Probably better off eating just peanuts ?
Too bad sucralose was never intended to be a pesticide. That was debunked long ago yet people still say that lie. About as true as GMO's being created by sticking a syringe in an apple. Do you really think the scientist who discovered it would have tasted it if he was using it in any way to make a pesticide?
From Wikipedia: “Sucralose was discovered in 1976 by scientists from Tate & Lyle, working with researchers Leslie Hough and Shashikant Phadnis at Queen Elizabeth College (now part of King's College London).[30] While researching novel uses of sucrose and its synthetic derivatives, Phadnis was told to "test" a chlorinated sugar compound. Phadnis thought Hough asked him to "taste" it, so he did.[31] He found the compound to be exceptionally sweet.” So it wasn’t being developed as a pesticide per say, the company that discovered it was just trying to make novel compounds of sucrose to see what they do and one of the scientists thought his partner asked him to taste a newly synthesized compound with unknown properties. Still very dumb, but it’s not like he thought he was tasting poison.
he was /still is the person who prepared it - synthesis experts usually ingest their own products for sensoric testing (small amounts so they dont instanly die, of course). My prof at the uni (synthesis/organic chemist) had ingested methanol (the alcohol that makes you go blind) in small amount (concentration was about 1 mg/l which is 0,1% , the blindness occurs if you get 20-30 ml of 40% methanol) to determine the sensoric reaction and well, the shot was bad but alcohol taste was confirmed XD. Also, I have been asked if I can do sensoric testing of pharmaceutical carbon, but theres no way I would dare to do it.

Some thoughts while watching: Scramble the letters in Agglutinin and it becomes "A Gut Lining". That's how to remember the connection. There was an advertising campaign years ago for a brand of potato chips: "No one can eat just one." Tic-Tacs advertise as being sugar free because they have 0.4999 gms per "serving" which is "one mint." We all know a real serving is "the whole container", or 100 mints = 49 gms/sugar,
Whenever I have Tic-Tacs for two or three days (which is rare), I will develop muscle twitches in my arms or legs. Because it's the only time this happens, I know the culprit :)
Dr Elbert, you are like a breath of fresh air, I have been eating the way you teach most of my life, and lots of times I have been laughed at because I am a fussy eater.. I am now in my mid eighties and still eat the healthy way, and do not have to take ANY Rx medications and I am very healthy and active!!
I want to know more about older people on keto, I've yet to find someone that has had cardiovascular diseases because of it (since saying so it's a trend these days)

@@DJmisterpeluca I am in my late 80's. Overweight but in good health. I was told by my heart doc that I might need a pacemaker in the future due to skipping a heart beat after every 5 or 6 beats. Blood pressure was controlled by medicine, fasting blood glucose a bit too high. Started listening to Ekberg about 4 months ago and went on a Keto diet. Within one week my heart skipping stopped, blood pressure normal without meds and in another few weeks my blood glucose decreased to normal. Went to a friends birthday dinner and had a piece of cake. Heart beat skipping started again until I got rid of the cake sugar effects. I would say that Ekberg it had a major effect on my heart health. Best luck to you.
Started 190 went 180, gained 100, (medicine related) lost 40, gained 10. I'm a yo yo, and diet is the next step. I'm always thankful for such resources. Thank you Dr. Sten Ekberg.
I think it's important to point out that MSG (monosodium glutamate) has been stamped as a black sheep for a long time with no real evidence, and currently, whild not neccesarily regarded as healthy, is no longer seen as dangerous (in moderate consuption), I don't know enough about the rest he's saying, but I would take everything with a grain of salt. Not that hes neccesarily incorrect, but do check multiple sources before following the advice on face value
indeed it is probably a text mistake, but it is correct what he meant aspartame breaks down to formaldehyde and methanol, methanol is toxic and can makes blind and to a certain degree kills you, ethanol is antagonist for methanol and if you accidently drink methanol then you need to drink alcohol (ethanol) to treat/ stop the toxicity of methanol.
Methanol is the first alcohol that evaporates when distilling liquor and if it's is not properly removed before consumption it can bind to the ocular nerve and cause blindness. Back in the days of prohibition and when many people were distilling their own liquor (improperly) this was a real concern.
@@mschlingman haha, that's a good one, yeah. (I've read once an article about some rusians which were treated because of methanol poisoning, with ethanol. Without it I wouldn't knew) I dislike those 'holistic' 'doctors' pretty much, it's knowledge combined with lies or very simplifications...

@@pebbles2482 I absolutely believe that!! I had a really bad day yesterday, and just like an addict, I had to fight myself to not go get a candy bar. I haven't had candy/sugar in over a month.. I thought, this is ridiculous 😄
A little bit of good quality Dark Chocolate made with 70-90% cocoa can still be eaten in Keto-diet, there's many different kinds so check how many carbs/sugar it has, more Cocoa usually means less carbs and there's sugar-free versions also. Dark chocolate also have some health benefits, so it can be sometimes a good little snack to lessen your sweet tooth!
@@AgreeToNotAgree yeah, I got a lot of tips from the internet about how to curb my sweet tooth and I settled with 85% on the dark chocolate. It eases the cravings 💕
It was very hard to give up hard salami, pepperoni, and "healthy" bread. I have to disagree with you about salt, when I eat salty foods the edema in my feet, ankles, and calves goes from moderately bad to truly horrible. I recognized the need to give up hard salami and pepperoni and when I have it, I can't stop eating it. I tried Ezekiel sprouted bread and told myself I could have one slice of toast with breakfast. And then it was two slices. Then it was four. So, no more. It took me YEARS to give up Diet Pepsi. YEARS. The withdrawal was prolonged much longer than anything else I have ever given up.
It is not salt that cause problems, it is combination of other factors with salt. After doing keto diet I eat as much salt as I want and have 0 problems.
What kind of salt or are you eating? The white table salt they sell at Kroger, NaCl is not the kind you want to be eating. That’s processed and they have stripped all the minerals out of it and it’s really bad for you. Sea salt or Himalayan salt is a different thing. It’s loaded with minerals.
Salmon is not so healthy as it too is an oily fish and concentrate pollutants or worse still it is farmed salmon which has been feed medicines and not always healthy feed.
@@patrickmccutcheon9361 that’s getting into the nitty gritty of it but yes farmed salmon, even chicken is considered pretty toxic. Usually I ask for wild caught at the butchers counter in the supermarket.
What do I make my sandwiches with egg sandwiches turkey sandwiches pulled pork sandwiches like I eat too many sandwiches I need a bread substitute or I guess I'm just stuck with wheat??
@@bryanjohnson8162 I eat too much bread as well. Since you eat bread frequently I’d probably just try to lessen the portion you eat per meal as a start and then work your way from there towards your goal
Salmon has as much mercury as tuna. If you you are concerned about mercury, avoid all fish. Brown rice might be ok occasionally, but it’s still high in carbohydrates.
All my life I have only ever eaten home prepared fresh meals, organic meats and vegetables, drink only water and exercise regularly I've had high blood pressure since my late 20's, I aldo suffer from chronic sleep apnea. Some people I know are in their 80's Drink and smoke, eat whatever they want and gave never been sick a day in their lives The truth is everyone is different
Yes, I know similar situations. genetics and other factors play a large role, everyone’s make up is different. Of course it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to take care of ourselves because it does make an impact but unfortunately it’s not always enough for some people
But it's still worth a try. Also most probably you would be worse with these foods.Don't switch to these 'bad' foods . Sorry about your high blood pressure. Hang in there
@@janischristiansen6689 Absolutely it is genetic. That is why life insurance companies ask so many questions about your parents and siblings when you are getting your physical to be able to get insurance. Effects the pricing.
France has a very similar diet to ours in the uk full fat cheese bread meat etc but the difference is where it is purchased meat from the butchers bread from the bakery none from a supermarket eg processed junk and they have a higher life expectancy
Another point to add with deli meats and high salts and preservatives, is that they can increase the risk of kidney stones. I found that out personally, and will never eat another deli meat again. Thank you for a great video!
I don't eat processed meat haven't for years but I still think everything in moderation I don't think any food should be said to ve bad if only eaten occasionally surely that can't do y any harm

There's two things you need to do: 1. build muscle aka the metabolism boosting - calorie burning body tissue. 2. learn how to track macros and eat at calorie deficit - the three building blocks of calories. Try 30% of total calories fats, .8-1g of protein per body weight, and the rest carbs. If this is confusing, start learning it now.
Surprisingly you can eat better and more than you think, if home cooked. Also, mostly every item he listed here you can eat, and are eaten by those people who successfully lose weight. Make sure you get into the habbit of buying groceries every week, cooking your meals every day - this active activity will help you be hand on regarding tracking. Eat for fuel for physical and or cognitive endeavors and post recovery only, no boredom eating nor eating for fun (yet - only when youve earned it by building enough calorie burning muscles).

When Sucralose came out I started using it on everything. I made lemonade, I used it in my coffee, I put in dessert recipes, I consumed it in large quantities. I then started losing weight fast. I was urinating almost non-stop. I developed an insatiable thirst. I was to the point that I started checking my blood glucose levels thinking I was a diabetic. Then it hit me that I was not hyperglycemic, but I was “hyper-Sucralosemic”! All symptoms resolved when I stopped consuming Sucralose. It behaved like an osmotic diuretic in my body.

As a nurse, I always found that taking the time to read "nutritional information" facts on products was very scary. When you take the time to actually look up some ingredients, you realize you should not be putting poisons in your body. I once worked as a community health supervisor for the Red Cross and made it my mission to try and get low income people to eat healthier. It wasn't easy. I distinctly remember my mom buying margarine in the early 60's. It was basically white and came with a little bubble of orange colored liquid which you would mix into the margarine to color it. I don't even want to know what was in there 🙄 Thank you Dr for another amazing video.
One thing to remember though is that dosage makes the poison. Every substance is a poison in the right dosage. Likewise even the most toxic compounds can be fine in tiny amounts. This applies to artificial and natural chemicals.

"A labelling trick, called LYING" genius. I learned that labelling trick the painful way many times over when trying to clean up my eating due to allergies to wheat, gluten, yeast, back in 2005. I found out, painfully, that the food companies do not have the consumer's best interests at heart and the only way to eat was whole foods. That doesn't mean it's been smooth sailing, with the advent of better gluten free products and better labelling (at least in the UK), I've stacked on the weight, going from very slim to being 40+ lbs overweight. Hence here I am relearning everything 🤔🇬🇧

Everything in moderation! Including advice. Many of the items on this list are just fine if you make them yourself. Bread is an ancient food that humans have been consuming for thousands of years with few negative health effects. Bake your own bread at home and you'll eliminate most of the problems described here. The same goes for fruit juice. Buy a good blender and make your own. It tastes better than the prepackaged stuff in the store and it's good for you.
Fruit juice is not good whether natural or bottled. Fruits are over-rated. Naturally we find more vegetables than fruits. Hence, we follow nature. Fruit is an occasional delicacy not a necessity. There are many economically challenged individuals and they should not spend on fruits rather eat vegetables nuts and a little bit of grains.
Really! It sounds like you have an addiction to wheat and are trying to justify it. Body processes wheat the same as sugar so you will never get the benefits of low carb/keto. Body will use the carbs first and turn the excess to fat. Keep on lying to yourself if it helps

Look at the "Enriched Noodles", they are just wheat flour and eggs "enriched" with Niacin (vitamin B3), Ferrous sulfate is a type of iron that's used as a medicine to treat and prevent iron deficiency anaemia. Iron helps the body to make healthy red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body, Thiamine mononitrate (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2) and Folic acid which is another B vitamin. It helps the body make healthy new cells. Do you have to eat canned chicken noodle soup - No, can you make it fresh yourself - absolutely yes!
Then take MSG for instance, its the sodium salt of glutamic acid, which is found naturally in food like tomatoes, mushrooms, aged cheeses such as parmesan and Roquefort and aged beef. It is also produced by the body. Under normal conditions, humans can metabolize relatively large quantities of glutamate, which is naturally produced in the gut in the course of protein hydrolysis. In Asian cuisine, cooking kombu (seaweed) with protein creates the the sodium salt of gutamic acid (MSG). The white powdery subtance on kombu is not mold, its the amino acid glutamine. Interaction of the kombu broths with other umami-producing ingredients like bonito flakes (katsuobushi) or shitake mushrooms creates natural flavor enhancers. Bonito flakes have inosinic acid, and shitakes have guanylate, both of which act synergistically with the glutamic acid in kombu to create a lot more umami than kombu alone. So you see, you do not need to add packet MSG to achieve the flavor enhancing effects of MSG, you can just use it in its natural form. And if you are still hung up about the myth that MSG is bad for you, you can avoid eating all the foods mentioned above, where MSG is naturally occurring.

I gave away $500 worth of food I had and started over with ONLY Organic foods and drinks. I do drink beer, but only 1-2 when working outside. I make sure to drink alot of water afterwards. New sub here! love the information!
Keep up the amazing job on your new journey! I'm glad you found this channel, knowledge is power. :)
well good for u bye
I drink tequila straight daily with water to wash it down. I smoke weed daily too. I'm 41 but people think im 24. I don't get it... I really need to stop it's killing me...
Same here! I no longer buy processed food. I only buy whole foods and then process it myself!
You go Don...
Thanks for the slow and clear speech, important for non English natives.
9:20 the alcohol that makes you go blind is called methanol, not ethanol. Ethanol is the alcohol found across every alcoholic beverage.
I think he meant methanol because formaldehyde is broken down to methanol.
@@whatthehirsch7385 Yes, he said wood alcohol, its a common name for methanol. Still, a quite ugly "fault of the tongue".
@@whatthehirsch7385 doesn't even break down to fomaldehyde, he made that up
Ethanol is still a toxin and a carcinogenic...you aren't drinking a glass of ethanol when you drink alcohol...and besides we know how alcohol can lead to death.
@@SenorKristobbalVLog that's not what he said
Do not eat
Frozen Pizza
Reddish sausages or meats (nitrites)
Sweeteners
Fruit juices
Sugar drinks
Cup noodles
„Nutella“
Fast processed bread
cocos fat (saturated and often hardened)
palm oil/fat
So basically just don't buy unnatural / processed stuff. Buy fresh / raw ingredients and make all of these foods yourself (mins the drinks) in a healthy way then you're good.
Thankfully I don't have an ultra-stressful job that takes up most of my time so it's super easy for me to spend most of my time making food. xD
@@Hendoneesia It takes a little planning to get into the mood of eating keto or paleo, but once you figure out how to plan/prep it becomes easier. You start finding easier ways to do it. When you use one of those ways of eating you will full more often and won't always want to snack. Oh, and this comes from a construction Superintendent who oversees multiple companies on construction sites 12-16 hrs a day/5-7 days a week. Once I started IF and eating fewer processed foods and more natural foods I dropped 15 lbs and have kept the weight off.
Exactly, I lived in the UK for 15 years and their diet has took a toll on me, I have developed serious IBS symptoms, so I was forced to change my diet, since I did it I feel a lot better. I’ve started to basically eat only foods that have retained their natural appearance, i do not eat processed foods a part from rice. I do indeed spend a bit more but I have to admit I feel a lot better and I will save up in future medical bills. I buy fresh free range eggs from a farmer near my house, I only buy Swiss free range organic beef or chicken from the butcher once a month ( I live in Switzerland) I buy fresh fruits and vegetables that are seasonal and locally grown from a cheap farmers market near me, they deliver a full box for $10 every week, I try to eat raw vegetables as much as I can (carrots, peppers, tomatoes and spinach’s) I only drink tap water and I filter it with my Brita caraffe, I stay away from breads, butter, cheeses, the only thing I still eat that is made with dairy is natural yogurt. I also eat a lot of fish, I avoid Nordic wild or raised fish since the Nordic sea is the most polluted. I mean it is hard work but processed foods are overfilled with all these weird ingredients that I have to avoid completely.

A phenomenon I've been noticing as well is a very soft "whole-wheat bread" being sold in markets. By reading the nutritional information, you can tell it's rich in sugar and added gluten, which probably all-in-all makes it as bad or even worse than white bread despite the increased nutrients. A good reminder of how vicious and untrustworthy the food industry actually is.
It's criminal
absolutely. If one has to buy processed foods, please always read the label - then question it. Btw, you can make your own bread, and decide what to put in it. Just stay away from white, processed flours.
@@PavlovSkriniskalov not common in non western countries to make your own bread .
@@Q_QQ_Q true.. i don't know anyone with a bread machine... i have one i bought at Zellers years ago, it made sour dough bread so easily, but i gave it up due to the carbs...

I LOVE THIS MAN .... NEVER known anyone talking about food who makes this much sense
We eat more for entertainment than nutrition.
We eat to feel good
My friends and family always want to go out to eat. I think eating out is a hassle.
Convince food at home never taste right.
Boredom.
Also people dont drink enough water
We should be eating for health and living. North America as a whole is food obsessed and I don't mean healthy whole food, it's the crap food.
@@willettmary889 I don't think people really understand diet here. They do what everyone else is doing thinking everything will be fine. They end up getting a slew of health issues. For me it feels socially awkward to be on a certain diet. Friends get together for food and people want to push unhealthy food.
Great reminders to avoid the junk we are marketed heavily to consume. It's somehow easy to forget just how nasty these "poisons" are and how they confuse the normal body functions.
Thanks Sten, you make a big difference in our lives, our extended longevity and wellness.

They are pure chemicals , not food
Fruit juice is not junk. Fruit juice is not the same as supermarket juice, maybe in the US.
@@EduardoMusasa it is junk
My life has more meaning thank u. 1000 times...
just a super minor thing. While explaining positive ingredients you circled it with red color and negative with green. You can flip those colors, to achieve much greater effect, since we are often conditioned to see green as go and red as no/danger.
I learned we should avoid both colors in presentations for possible people with red green weakness.
Didn't even notice...
Wow
True. Teachers used to mark their negative comments with red on student's papers, so Americans are programmed to see red markings as negative.
@@bodyofhope can't just generalise it to Americans. Traffic lights are red to stop green to go. Red and yellow are almost always used in danger signs
Thank you for calling me a health champion. I really needed that. 💯💯
I am grateful to Dr Ekberg, who takes the time and energy and has the intelligence to present these fantastic seminars on how to be healthy. He spends his career saving lives in my opinion. You are my hero.
Agree! No one else explains things as well!
I raise my own beef chickens and pigs and have for years recently decided to stop buying seed oils (except olive oil) even considering grinding my own flour from home grown wheat. I can say even though my friends and family think we’re crazy health issue wise we’re in way better off than most.
Why would anyone think that's crazy?. That's the dream right there.

Twenty years ago I started drinking cranberry juice thinking it was healthy and after my yearly checkup my doctor told me my lipid profile showed a high level of triglycerides. Stopped all juices including fresh squeezed orange I would sometimes have at breakfast. I always limited my sugar intake by avoiding all the obvious sources like soda, cakes and candy as I knew excess sugar was detrimental for health yet overlooked the high sugar content of fruits and especially fruit juices. Triglycerides dropped from 270 to 101 even though I still ate the occasional slice of watermelon or a very small slice of fruit pie and still managed to lose twenty pounds in three months. They tell you to eat your fruits and vegetables but I would say to watch your mangoes.
You obviously need to exercise a lot more than you do if you have that issue, it would not happen from cranberry juice alone so I'm inferring here....you live an unhealthy lifestyle with low exercise?
@@dxublexxsplicitxxsplicit4943 Working in construction gave me more exercise than most. Fruits and fruit juices contain fructose. Excess fructose increases triglycerides. It’s not that complicated.
As I say, watch your mangoes.
@@apenza4304 funny, I do roofing but I mean construction work is hard but it's not exercise, not much cardio. So again, you probably just haven't excercised enough dawg
@@apenza4304 if you have high fat in your blood you obviously either have underlying issues, you are lieing about how much you exercise or you are lieing about the diet. Other than that possibly your biology is different than most and you may have a low metabolism. Again it's not just the food
@@dxublexxsplicitxxsplicit4943 A roofer? I thought you were an MD. But maybe you’re lying and you’re really a circus clown.
Your channel deserves to be followed. Thanks a lot for these valuable information and not being biased or hiding the truth.
Such a nice educational video. This feels like a lecture that should be put in schools. The amount of knowledge and how much it could save people from bad health.
Schools won’t allow this message. I tried.
its full of lies and misinformation
Thank you so much for this truthful video💚 Since becoming a parent many years ago I became interested in nutrition. I remember reading a book called "Back to Eden" which I tried to follow. I'm 69 now, no meds, feel fantastic, but was just diagnosed pre- diabetic (because of my love for sweets). Now it's time to get back to eating healthy, but it may be harder because I live below poverty, and we all know that eating healthy is very expensive. Nevertheless I can grow food, barter with friends and do the best I can with what I have💛💛💛 I am very grateful to you Dr. Ekberg!
😊
You can reverse pre-diabetes. Good luck to you, stay away from processed foods - and your carbs should only come from unprocessed plant products, preferably from a farmers market.
Deceptive labeling called "Lying" - loved this
Literally made me bust out laughing
Me, too. Sometimes Dr. Ekberg’s understatement is hilarious.
Than you Dr. Sten; for sharing your knowledge. i was walking through my local food store, and noticed that if you could take away all the junk foods, and man made foods, the store would be almost empty!
I learned years ago to shop the outer perimeter of the store, dairy, eggs, meat, cheese.
If aspartame delivers methanol to your bloodstream, it would seem like a no-brainer to avoid the sweetener at all costs, but there's a confounding factor: methanol is also found in all sorts of harmless foods, especially fruits and vegetables, in quantities comparable to foods that contain aspartame. In fact, aspartame-flavored soda contains less than half the methanol found in the same volume of many fruit juices.
he said ethanol. he also referred to formaldehyde as "embalming fluid" which is deceptive. embalming fluid has formaldehyde in it, so does a newborn infant's body. you produce and pee out formaldehyde in trace amounts day to day
@@jamescheddar4896 Check the pinned comment. He said ethanol by accident, he meant methanol. And yeah, formaldehyde is pretty normal in moderate amounts
@@adamgreenhill110 pectins also metabolize into methanol in trace amounts
aspartame gives me heac aches.I avoid it at all costs
@@varujhanchapanian7006 Same. I'm not aware of any actual scientific studies saying aspartame in reasonable amounts is bad for people who don't get headaches from it, but I get horrible splitting headaches from it so I avoid it.
Your such a wonderful teacher, I wish I found your channel sooner. Thank you Dr. E you have a gift for breaking down complicated science and health garble into simplicity. I am in admiration. Thank you for your time and efforts. Happy Holidays.
Would've really been nice to include 10 substitute foods to replace the harmful ones. Perhaps a follow up video...?
Exactly! 👍
A link to his list ^ of what to eat
water and grass.... seems about it.
@@aero1850 - Well, he never mentioned to avoid Chocolate Chip Cookies, Oreo Cookies, Ice Cream, Candy Bars, Cheeseburgers, or Hot Dogs on this list, so I think I'm safe!
IKARIANOFFICIAL: obviously he didn’t mention all the stuff that you implying because when he was explaining about all the different ingredients and also the meaning of each one, you have to understand that anything it’s not organic or natural is going to have the same poisoning ingredients. So we must have common sense🤓
YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS ARE PRICELESS, THANK YOU 🤩
Being a fellow Swede I certainly agree with being shocked when moving to the US and seeing potato chips as "food" (sold together with meals). Love your channel. Changed to mostly wholefoods past years and I've never been in better shape or health. Greetings from Beijing 🌆🏯😊☀️
Potato chip are considered a snack in North America
@@Dutchy-1168 thanks for clarifying, I mean that it's often an option to add in many restaurants as part of the meal (Subway one example crossing my mind), that and soda 🥤
Potato chips are not considered a food, in U.S. It is a snack.
@@pebbles2482 thanks for clarifying, was meaning it's often sold as add-on or alongside meals, e.g. in Subway or other chains 👌
@@JohanFitFoodie the point is that in the US snack sometimes becomes food. Also, fruit juice is not the same as canned/boxed juice that is pasteurised. In the other countries fruit juice means fresh juice, fruits that are squeezed/processed just before drinking the juice
Chuckled at this: "How come it says 0g trans fat but on the other side it says partially hydrogenated? It's a labeling trick called lying." 16:36
Everything to sell you know
...as long as nobody runs them with pitchforks and continues buying instead, it's perfectly legitimate business. People have been grown into cattle.
@@FictionCautious there are governments who set in place strict regulations that prohibit even the slightest lies
It is complicated. Labeling regulations, I don't remember the exact cutoff number, but if the "mg" is below a certain number, the label will round down. And even if it has a trace amount, like say 0.00001 grams, labeling requires you still list in ingredients. But the nutrition requires to be listed. And of course manuf will put 0g.
I have had few confusion when i saw processed food with 0 trans fat. I thought they were telling the truth. Oh, how naive I was!
Being 300 pounds and 44 years of age, I'm rethinking a lot about my diet. I ate like a teenager for most of my years eating things like pizza, ice cream and soda. I'm paying more attention to what's in our food and there's a lot of things in this video I already knew, but just brushed it out of my mind when it's time for a meal. You don't often think about what's in processed food when you're eating. I haven't touched diet cola in months and I haven't had any ice cream in over a month. While I do enjoy a soda with my meal, my next step is to have water with my meal as I'm trying to cut out excess sugar. I've gone months at my job without drinking diet soda and I've gotten used to drinking just water these days while I'm at work. I still find it difficult to resist buying a pizza when I'm out grocery shopping, but I do manage to find some success just by ignoring my craving for it. I'm hoping in time as I cut these foods out of my diet that my body will drop some weight with the physical activity I get while I'm working and while I'm out riding my bike for exercise.
Big time emphasis on cutting off soda. One can of soda has about 40g of sugar alone. Over 70% of it is just sugar.
keto and intermittent fasting
Good luck on your journey and don't give up!
The good news is you can return to a normal weight in a year. Just managing your carbs, ensuring they only come from pure foods, will allow you to knock off the weight. If you can, stay away from all processed foods (any meal type foods created by a company, like frozen pizza, mac and cheese, etc etc)
Sounds like you're on the right track, keep making small changes and over time it will be a big change!
Look into keto pizza, there are recipes and premade in some stores, just watch portion size.
Amazingly simple to understand! You explained everything very thoroughly. I must start to read the ingredients label more carefully now. Thank you, THANK YOU,
!!
Thank you for the detailed information. This is highly valuable. I've always tried to stay away from any processed foods as well. I always read labels.
With so such diverting and confusing information available on the internet, this kind of lucid presentation is commendable.
Some healthy replacements for things on this list that will result in weight loss are
1) Diet Coke - Water
2) Canned Tuna - Chicken Breast
3) F. Maple Syrup - No Sugar Syrup
4)Bread - Carb Balance Wraps or Oats
5)Margarine - Olive Oil
6)Energy Drinks - Black Coffee
7)Fruit Juice - Vegan Protein Powder & Real Fruits Blended up
8) Cold Cuts - Real Sliced Meat
Thank you

2) tuna. Literally just normal tuna....
@@roboteen Except he said not only canned tuna but 'any tuna.'
Great video found this video by chance and I'm glad i did. I like the detail explanation that goes into each food or snack. I'm really surprised and i'm looking forward to more videos.
Basically, avoid every food that people have altered in any way.
Yep. I've told my daughter for years that she needs to look at ingredient labels and let her know that the more ingredients that there are, particularly when the words are unknown to her and/or hard to pronounce, that it isn't good for her body.
Eat raw fruits and veggies, simple and easiest to digest.
Baking/Cooking/Anything else = Carcinogenic
Almost all food we eat today has been altered in some way
Yeah, that's the nice and simple way.
@@Lychee7 Not exactly. You should eat food that you've grown/harvested yourself because only then you know what's in it. Raw fruits and veggies purchased at the farmer's market may (and typically do) contain pesticides and other chemicals that can make you equally sick and, because they are "fresh" unpackaged products, they don't even have labels to show it...So do meats. The reality is that, if you take modern nutritionism to its extremes, everybody should become a off-the-grid farmer and only eat the bounty of their own personal farm, which would probably bring the world back to the Middle Ages.
Dr. Ekberg, I have a topic suggestion for you. I have been struggling with this question and would LOVE your perspective. For someone who maintains a healthy weight and follows a ketogenic diet for the overall health benefits and wellbeing they accrue from it, should they cycle onto "acceptable carbs" (sweet potatoes, etc.) for a week or two every two to three months in order to promote metabolic flexibility? I would LOVE to know whether carb cycling of this kind is beneficial for metabolic health or is unnecessary and should be avoided, and if it is recommended, what is the best way to proceed with acceptable carb cycling. Thank you for all you do!
Yes very well formulated question and I would love to know as well!
18:44.....This was me few years ago.
i honestly don’t think it’s worth it unless you have a higher carb meal at least once a week your body will never adjust to carbs again. 2-3 weeks isn’t often enough
Please look up dr mindy pelz. She talks about this.
@@davidpowell3469 thank you David and best regards.

Wow I was fed that unnamed soup my whole childhood...and my brother and I were obese and often sick. We were fed canned soup,sandwiches including lunch meat and pbj. Also chips and coke. Breakfast was chocolate milk and cupcakes. When I look back we're lucky we even got out of childhood.

@@jimmyatoms4438 oh dear. 😋 but somehow you survived both.
super happy to know that none of them is in my diet anymore (exept the fresh tuna). the more I grow up the more I become sensetive to what I put in my body!
The real problem we get into here is that most of these foods are affordable and people on low, middle and fixed incomes have become dependent on them for cheap, easy meals.
Can't be more agree with you on this but dont you think the healthy industry producers are forcing the situation when marking so high their products
@@robertoperaza2683 Sure but people still have to eat in the meantime
@@robertoperaza2683 Pretty much. Healthier alternatives almost always cost more. My grocery shopping habits have always depended on my income. At times I wasn't doing as well I was glad things like canned soup and lunch meat were available.
Lentils, beans and fruit and veg in season are cheap too, but people like to eat junk instead
But some people spend their money on beer, cigarettes and marijuana so there is little left over for food so they stuff themselves with chips, soda and left over pizza slices when they feel hungry.
16:40 "So this is a labeling trick. It's called lying." is my favorite quote from Dr. Sten Ekberg.
Wow, I'm fortunate to be alive! I was raised on canned soups, white bread sandwiches made with cold cuts, margarine, artificial maple syrup, etc, etc. As an adult I eat only homemade soups, no white bread (and very little bread at all), real butter, and occasionally ( a few times a year) only real maple syrup. I guess my taste buds were on spot for me to make these healthy changes. Thank you for this video...very informative.
It's mostly fear mongering, it's normal that you are alive even eating those things lol.
But for sure you're still young. Bad eating habits don't show some consequences easy. Eating junk food means standing in the line to doctors when you're old (I mean over 60 the way you've treated yourself till now is visible).
Its ok. My grandmother's lived 90s and 100 off the worse modern foods
@@poinsettia12 it's the medicine they are on which causes the issues

I would like to know who the person was who said, “I’ll eat that insecticide… it tastes just like sugar!”
That's exactly what I thought when I got to that part!
Too bad sucralose was never intended to be a pesticide. That was debunked long ago yet people still say that lie. About as true as GMO's being created by sticking a syringe in an apple. Do you really think the scientist who discovered it would have tasted it if he was using it in any way to make a pesticide?
From Wikipedia:
“Sucralose was discovered in 1976 by scientists from Tate & Lyle, working with researchers Leslie Hough and Shashikant Phadnis at Queen Elizabeth College (now part of King's College London).[30] While researching novel uses of sucrose and its synthetic derivatives, Phadnis was told to "test" a chlorinated sugar compound. Phadnis thought Hough asked him to "taste" it, so he did.[31] He found the compound to be exceptionally sweet.”
So it wasn’t being developed as a pesticide per say, the company that discovered it was just trying to make novel compounds of sucrose to see what they do and one of the scientists thought his partner asked him to taste a newly synthesized compound with unknown properties. Still very dumb, but it’s not like he thought he was tasting poison.
he was /still is the person who prepared it - synthesis experts usually ingest their own products for sensoric testing (small amounts so they dont instanly die, of course). My prof at the uni (synthesis/organic chemist) had ingested methanol (the alcohol that makes you go blind) in small amount (concentration was about 1 mg/l which is 0,1% , the blindness occurs if you get 20-30 ml of 40% methanol) to determine the sensoric reaction and well, the shot was bad but alcohol taste was confirmed XD. Also, I have been asked if I can do sensoric testing of pharmaceutical carbon, but theres no way I would dare to do it.

There was an advertising campaign years ago for a brand of potato chips: "No one can eat just one."

I am in my late 80's. Overweight but in good health. I was told by my heart doc that I might need a pacemaker in the future due to skipping a heart beat after every 5 or 6 beats. Blood pressure was controlled by medicine, fasting blood glucose a bit too high. Started listening to Ekberg about 4 months ago and went on a Keto diet. Within one week my heart skipping stopped, blood pressure normal without meds and in another few weeks my blood glucose decreased to normal. Went to a friends birthday dinner and had a piece of cake. Heart beat skipping started again until I got rid of the cake sugar effects. I would say that Ekberg it had a major effect on my heart health. Best luck to you.

You incorrectly call ethanol "wood alcohol." Methanol is wood alcohol.
indeed it is probably a text mistake, but it is correct what he meant aspartame breaks down to formaldehyde and methanol, methanol is toxic and can makes blind and to a certain degree kills you, ethanol is antagonist for methanol and if you accidently drink methanol then you need to drink alcohol (ethanol) to treat/ stop the toxicity of methanol.
He said and wrote ethanol incorrectly... Methanol is the correct word...
Methanol is the first alcohol that evaporates when distilling liquor and if it's is not properly removed before consumption it can bind to the ocular nerve and cause blindness. Back in the days of prohibition and when many people were distilling their own liquor (improperly) this was a real concern.
@@KABSOOLH1 That means my rum and diet coke is safest way to drink diet coke. Awesome
@@mschlingman haha, that's a good one, yeah. (I've read once an article about some rusians which were treated because of methanol poisoning, with ethanol. Without it I wouldn't knew) I dislike those 'holistic' 'doctors' pretty much, it's knowledge combined with lies or very simplifications...

@@pebbles2482cocaine is trash tho
A little bit of good quality Dark Chocolate made with 70-90% cocoa can still be eaten in Keto-diet, there's many different kinds so check how many carbs/sugar it has, more Cocoa usually means less carbs and there's sugar-free versions also. Dark chocolate also have some health benefits, so it can be sometimes a good little snack to lessen your sweet tooth!
@@AgreeToNotAgree yeah, I got a lot of tips from the internet about how to curb my sweet tooth and I settled with 85% on the dark chocolate. It eases the cravings 💕
It was very hard to give up hard salami, pepperoni, and "healthy" bread. I have to disagree with you about salt, when I eat salty foods the edema in my feet, ankles, and calves goes from moderately bad to truly horrible. I recognized the need to give up hard salami and pepperoni and when I have it, I can't stop eating it. I tried Ezekiel sprouted bread and told myself I could have one slice of toast with breakfast. And then it was two slices. Then it was four. So, no more. It took me YEARS to give up Diet Pepsi. YEARS. The withdrawal was prolonged much longer than anything else I have ever given up.
It is not salt that cause problems, it is combination of other factors with salt. After doing keto diet I eat as much salt as I want and have 0 problems.
you can buy pepperoni and other deli meats without all the nitrates etc
Good prosciutto does not have additives, only salt.
Do you get enough potassium?
What kind of salt or are you eating? The white table salt they sell at Kroger, NaCl is not the kind you want to be eating. That’s processed and they have stripped all the minerals out of it and it’s really bad for you. Sea salt or Himalayan salt is a different thing. It’s loaded with minerals.
What I found to be good substitutes:
-Rice for bread
-Salmon for tuna
-Miso soup or homemade chicken soup instead of canned.
Salmon is not so healthy as it too is an oily fish and concentrate pollutants or worse still it is farmed salmon which has been feed medicines and not always healthy feed.
@@patrickmccutcheon9361 that’s getting into the nitty gritty of it but yes farmed salmon, even chicken is considered pretty toxic. Usually I ask for wild caught at the butchers counter in the supermarket.
What do I make my sandwiches with egg sandwiches turkey sandwiches pulled pork sandwiches like I eat too many sandwiches I need a bread substitute or I guess I'm just stuck with wheat??
@@bryanjohnson8162 I eat too much bread as well. Since you eat bread frequently I’d probably just try to lessen the portion you eat per meal as a start and then work your way from there towards your goal
Salmon has as much mercury as tuna. If you you are concerned about mercury, avoid all fish. Brown rice might be ok occasionally, but it’s still high in carbohydrates.
Bread is good for you. I have suffered from IBS and have found that white bread and pasta helps my bowels?
I'm glad my diet of grass feed grass and organic rocks wasn't on there. I was getting worried.
🤣🤣🤣 I like that...
🤣👍
Me too
😂😂
Rock farming is often done in abomidable conditions in prisons, just so you know, organic does not say everything.
All my life I have only ever eaten home prepared fresh meals, organic meats and vegetables, drink only water and exercise regularly
I've had high blood pressure since my late 20's, I aldo suffer from chronic sleep apnea.
Some people I know are in their 80's
Drink and smoke, eat whatever they want and gave never been sick a day in their lives
The truth is everyone is different
So true. Our genetics explain a lot....
Yes, I know similar situations. genetics and other factors play a large role, everyone’s make up is different. Of course it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to take care of ourselves because it does make an impact but unfortunately it’s not always enough for some people
But it's still worth a try. Also most probably you would be worse with these foods.Don't switch to these 'bad' foods . Sorry about your high blood pressure. Hang in there
@@janischristiansen6689 Absolutely it is genetic. That is why life insurance companies ask so many questions about your parents and siblings when you are getting your physical to be able to get insurance. Effects the pricing.
Can be heritory
The more I watch these videos, the smaller the list of what I can eat grows.I am down to lemons.🍋
You should eat just the lemon rind.
They destroy your teeth.
😂😂😂
That’s the funniest thing I have ever read 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Make lemonade!
France has a very similar diet to ours in the uk full fat cheese bread meat etc but the difference is where it is purchased meat from the butchers bread from the bakery none from a supermarket eg processed junk and they have a higher life expectancy
Another point to add with deli meats and high salts and preservatives, is that they can increase the risk of kidney stones. I found that out personally, and will never eat another deli meat again. Thank you for a great video!
I don't eat processed meat haven't for years but I still think everything in moderation I don't think any food should be said to ve bad if only eaten occasionally surely that can't do y any harm
