Not we..They...i know what real food is and i know what a woman. is. Never doubted that. There are some nutjobs in the West who are confused and they speak very loud.
My mom used to tell me to read the labels. And if it has more than 3 ingredients in it, has sugar in it, can’t pronounce or spell it… then put it back… it’s not real food. 😊
When i was a OTR truck driver back in and thru the 90's, I hauled chemicals from chemical plants straight to the food production plants. Any processed food has chemicals in it, chemicals with 10 or more lettered names that you can't even pronounce, and it's not just in the food it's also in beverages. I tried pronouncing those names on the bill of lading and i couldn't even come close. No way all these chemicals are in the ingredient labels much of it is left out. We're being poisoned to live short lives and support health care cost which then you're forced to buy health insurance for. It comes down to two things, money and population control. They don't just want you dead, they want your money on your way out before you go.
Sounds exactly what they are doing with cancer. Take all your money on the way out. Instead of putting you on a diet that would starve the cells. They of course can't charge thousands of dollars for a diet.
I started reading labels at 17yo and I'm 65yo now. When I changed my diet back in my early 20s, I stopped getting sick all the time. Tastebuds change and you then can really taste the chemicals in processed food.
I've been avoiding high processed foods for years and maybe that explains why when I rarely cheat, the foods don't taste like they did when I was young...off taste...
Totally this. Going out to eat now is getting really hard. Places you think are upscale pack the MSG in the food. I can taste it. I’m not spending $90 to eat in a restaurant what I can buy at but at the store and get the same quality.
@Petunia-Greene Yeah, it's weird when you go to a "high end" restaurant, eat and then start feeling like crap, or you can taste the preservatives, or it tastes greasy or like it came frozen and was heated up. LoL.
''I 'm a cart watcher,....I'm a cart watcher,....here comes one now''. I must admit when I go to the grocery store I can not believe the amount of crap/garbage food that is piled mountain high in most peoples carts. I have to refrain from laughing,....or crying.
the same me but I'm also confused regarding the value or so ,for example I was lucky to buy salmon in sainsbury for 13£ reduced to 7£ and when I go poundland and see organic piece of salmon for 3£ I don't understand what I'm buying and what is worth of what.Especially healthy food is extremely expensive..
@@joycewright5386 Correct 💯%. Problem is they/we have all been brainwashed to eat this s--t, and have become addicted to it. Another problem that is never mentioned is modern technology eg., the smart phone, people are addicted to these as well and because of this have lost the ability to think for themselves and use their brain to reason why things happen. They just believe whatever is put in front of them. When a society cannot reason or think for themselves you can get them to do anything, this is Manna from heaven for the processed food industry. But you are just so correct in your statement, they could afford healthy food if they wanted to and stopped buying crap. 🍅🧄🧅🍣🥩🍉🥰🥰🥰.
I'm 40 and becoming sensitive to foods. A favorite thing of mine was/is tortilla chips, salsa, guacamole. My joints would/do feel worse after I have too much, but I couldn't pinpoint why. Eliminated seed oils and my joint pain was gone.
@@paulmryglod4802 Good to hear that you were able to identify the cause(s). I have severe osteoarthritis which is genetic/epigenetic in my case. In general I avoid food that cann be inflamatory and eat things that are anti-inflamatory which helps (I think). I'm always happy to hear from people who are younger being aware of what their body is telling them and taking steps to identify the problem(s) and take steps to eliminate it/them.
And also the products known under different names which are basically the same, namely polysaccharides derived mostly from genetically modified corns: glucose syrup, modified starch, (malto)dextrin.
That's one of the many things I love about Dr. Lustig; he's not a 'diet' fadist (or fascist). One of his best quotes is 'desert is fine, just not as every meal'. (or something to that effect.)
My food choices are getting less every day. They have contaminated most all our food supply and drinks too. We really have no control over anything. This food thing proves it.
I have been growing my own foods and buying local for more than a second- but it’s a very long, hard, and pointless protest. The problem isn’t my individual choices. The problem is that cities consume too much and produce too little!..and that no one has learned green agriculture...I have to get pretty exotic to find green technology- It’s impossible for me to be the difference I’d like to see- because of everyone at Whole Foods and Wal-Mart- which have already put everyone out of business for over the decades....I have to drive an hour to get meat...I have to go to Ohio to get clay pipes...and everything is made of plastic- and Just because I spend the time and money to do things right- doesn’t mean that I am not massively outnumbered and aware that these chemicals volatile- So, they are in my everything despite my best long hard protest- I had no choice. I tried way to hard to live to have to breathe the same air as Tyson farms and GLAD manufacturing!!!
They have poisoned our food chain, poisoned our water, and we have helped them, we are all responsible… Soylent green, a charlton Heston movie 50’s ago basically told us our future..
We vote with our wallets. As long as people keep buying crap “food”, they’ll keep making that crap ! Go into any large chain gas stations. All these sell is non real food ! Even the coffee they sell comes with 20 different kinds of sugary creamers. 😮 I occasionally will buy a coffee with a splash of half and half and I can’t believe all the obese people waiting in line to buy their lunch of chips, cookies and candies. And they wonder why they’re sick !
Has anybody noticed lately when buying milk look at the expiration date some brands are up to 3 months in the future this milk must be full of chemicals I would never buy this man-made poison!
How is it that people on the carnivore diet reduce their inflammation, migraines, ibs, lose weight, heal joints, lower blood pressure, and improve sleep? I don’t think it’s the actual vegetables and fruits that are causing issues, it’s the man made chemicals that are in those foods.
Yes it can be fruit for fructoze intolerant, it can be all kind of vegetables that cause IBS and inflammation for certain people. So ,you don't think that vegetables and fruits are the culprit , but unfortunately they are in many cases. Another example would be night shade vegetables that can trigger autoimune illnesses. So , think again what are your affirmations. I think ,we should keep to ourselves what we think .
Two issues with plants : what they've been sprayed with, and the antinutrients in the plants. Another reason why true carnivores can end up better then before is they abandon sugar, vegetable oils,and ultraprocesssed foods.
For me it's the fiber that I cannot tolerate without IBD symptoms so I just don't eat it and don't experience any issues. Two things the human body can live without is fiber and sugar or carbohydrate generally. But a agree with you in principle the chemicals added to our fruit and vegetables is poison there is no denying that. But the years if genetic manipulation the increase the sugar content and size of our fruits and veggies is not natural. These plant foods are not organic or natural anymore they are almost a processed food it it's own right and that to my untrained mind has to be a good part of the reason we are getting more sick as a society. We need to eat the proper human diet.
@@kyles5513Yes! Different bodies react differently to different ingredients. Very processed foods are not good for anyone. Whole, unprocessed, high quality foods are a place to start. From there, you can figure out which things to avoid and which to have more of. Some people thrive on a mostly vegan diet, some thrive on carnivore. I lean pretty pescatarian, but I’ll have high quality meat once in a while. I love all vegetables, but some don’t make me feel well, so I avoid them.
When you go to the grocery store shop the perimeter and not the aisles. Im not saying that everything on the perimeter is good (most of it is) and everything in the aisle is bad (most of it is), but it is a good way to start. As for the aisles, i look for products with only natural ingredients and avoid seed oils, to include soy.
'Perimeter' is the word I was looking for while writing another comment. I think I first read that in _Omnivore's Dilemma_ . It's something I never really gave a thought to, as that has always been my shopping habit.
Wow, really good advice. I never looked at grocery store layouts like that before but it's so true. The aisles is where the crap is and most of the perimeter is where the real food is. Describes my grocery store perfectly.
I've been alive for 75 yrs and I've made mistakes with all sorts of behaviors. Learning from those mistakes has been hit or miss. Lately, as my health has returned from a devastating colon blockage resulting from extensive diverticulosis, I have begun to re-establish a healthy diet by: 1. eliminating as much processed 'food' as I possibly can. 2. minimizing simple carbs 3. minimizing meat consumption 4. snacking on whole fruits, nuts or ground nuts. I think preservatives and sugar are poisoning and addicting us to themselves for profit. Thanks FDA!
It is bonkers stupid to blame the FDA or the government. Sugar is not poison. That is a stupid notion. Sugar is not addictive. Sugar ranks a distant third to salt and fat in making "refined" foods that are super palatable.
@@DeeFitnessLifeBze Scientists, doctors, FDA, CDC, American Diabetes Association, American Heart Association, and other reputable health authorities are not incompetent and corrupt. You are pathologically alienated. That is not healthy.
When I go to the supermarket in the UK I find myself walking past whole isles of total junk food. I try my best to eat well, but I know that the food I am eating is still junk!!
When I went UPF and sugar free, I found it very difficult to begin with. After a while though I knew what to go for, had found suitable products in different shops and online and developed recipes. It takes time, effort and most of all cash, but it is possible to have a really clean diet with lots of organic produce, a low glycaemic load and one that is respectful of the microbiome.
Imo I think people would so appreciate a store or a brand name where they could be sure it is containing only real food and containing only Dr. approved products! I know I would buy all my food from a place like that!
But it would be more expensive than the convenience crap. Real food already exists, it’s available from markets, farm shops, vegetable growers, egg farms……..
@@perijon00 I wish- but they are feeding gmo grain to the animals who are also given antibiotics every day- ( we want grass fed) we crowd and confine chickens indoors and we soak them in bleach because they are contaminated. Pigs are confined to a crate so small they cannot even turn around. The whole food system is controlled by a handful of companies who are making a ton of money while slowly killing us. 😢
It’s called a co-op! I didn’t realize Ben and Jerry’s claims of environmental friendliness were a bunch of BS until the late 2000s, when all BnJ disappeared off their shelves. A true co-op does its homework!
I got sick in Morocco, stomach ache terrible diarrhea.I returned to Spain and went to the pharmacy and they gave me big fat capsules of lactobacillus acidophilus.Overnight I was 99% improved.Also had the same experience in Dominican Republic with dynamic result.
Food is what comes out of the ground or what animals eat that comes out of the ground. I like that and I would also add that what to drink comes out of the sky.
Except what comes out of the ground these days has been adulterated. Brussels sprouts of yesteryear looked nothing like and tasted nothing like they do today for example.
Just sharing my experience, my carnivore experiment lasted 14 days, afterwards I had no inflammation, no arthritis, no soreness in joints, no skin issues, significantly improved sleep and significantly improved late day energy. Previously, I had eaten salads, fruits and nuts, almonds. In my estimation, it was the elimination of the pesticides and herbicides that allowed my body to heal itself. Just my experience
Depends who is certifying.....I try to grow as much as I can. I'm not about to.pay to have what I grow certified and very small scale smallholders/homesteaders can't always do so either, but there food may be purer than some certified stuff. There are some loopholes in the UK certified organic rules.
I’ve never had any inflammation pain or other health issues eating salads and vegetables. And I also eat meat. I’m basically sugar free and I don’t eat bread or pasta either. No flour, no chips etc. just REAL food. In the Spring summer months we grow a lot of our own veggies and fruit. And I freeze a lot of that to use in chili and soups and smoothies. 😊
@@debbietodd8547 I watch Marcus Rothranz from The Healthy Life. He is vegan. Not sure if all his food that he buys is organic. It he is very healthy. He’s 61 and looks to be around 35-40. He hasn’t eaten meat in over 25 years. No sugar or junk food either. I don’t think straight up carnivore is the way to go. Most colon cancers were from diets lacking in fruits and veggies. But it could be too that people who hate veggies and eat meat, ALSO eat French fries and fast food. 🤷🏼♀️
My friend was eating Cool Whip one day and I told her to read the ingredients and she couldn't even pronounce most of them this is when you know not to eat something if you can't pronounce the ingredients don't eat it😮
why aren't world leaders listening to this ,artificial sugar,vegetable oils should be banned with immediate effect ,innocent people die because of this and that too painfully
I had been dealing with very painful inflammation for about 2 years (early 21 to early 23). Doctors kept switching meds. Nothing worked. I finally figured out that if I doubled down on eating meat, and limiting sugar as much as possible it slowly goes away.
I got off of those years ago. I go as far as taking my own salad dressings to restaurants 🤣. Now I can’t pass a McDonald’s without gagging a little. Nobody knows how real food tastes anymore
I was using a "No Sugar" coffee creamer"...no sugar...but then I read the ingredients...a main ingredient..maltodextrin!! Far worse for you than sugar. The corporations lie to us as a 'policy!'
@fitsodafun I just looked this up. Flaxseed oil has a burn temp of 225 degrees which is way less than olive oil at about 300 degrees. Neither of these oils should be used to fry or sauté anything. Flaxseed oil also goes rancid rather quickly and has to be refrigerated. And no it doesn’t taste that good. So it will never be a viable option really.
This is a great video. I started a journey in 2020 to REALLY figure out why I had been overweight for 40 years. I created my own sort of system where I try to keep my food within 3 degrees of separation from myself. So farmer to butcher, one degree. Butcher to me, 2 degrees. I also cut out seed oils (except evo), sugar of all types, and preservatives. This means 99% of the grocery store is not edible for me. I call it my grandmother's mother's diet. To date, I have lost 130 pounds and I've kept it off...still losing. You have to shift your mentality about food. My husband and I call any processed food poison or food flavored filler. Its not easy. We are inundated with pro poison propaganda and convenient death treats but it is possible! I'm buying this book. Very glad I happened into this video. Thank you!!!
Same here. That talk goes deep. We are so fortunate that Dr. Lustig has continued to write and speak on this topic and is able to communicate this information in ways that anyone can comprehend.
An american box of cereal had about 25 ingredients. An overseas brand of similiar cereal had 6 ingredients. Only difference was less sweet and didnt get soggy fast in milk.
It's funny how I was always sick when I was living in the United States and then when I was in Japan my health improved enormously and my irritable bowel syndrome completely went away.
My wife and I live pretty much off of beef, chicken, fish and green vegetables. We have one "cheat" day weekly when we will have a burger or some mexican food. For the first time in years I felt like having some of the snack foods we used to eat 20 years ago before changing our habits so I bought various chips and microwaveable snacks such as mozzarella sticks etc. After about 5 minutes of eating these things I said "You know...I feel kind of grossed out. These things don't seem like food to me anymore...they seem like they are imitations of food".
The #1 excuse i hear for wht people cant eat real food is they "cant afford it" id rather spend $10 on one real meal than spend it on 50 packages of ramen.
Where I live, in a medium-sized Colorado city, there’s a huge hype when yet another chain burger joint opens up. The menu is inevitably packed with salt, sugar, fat, and preservatives in over-large portions.
@@donwinston The Food Industry provides to the public what the public Wants. The flip side of the coin is that The Disease Treatment Industry treats the public with treatments that it claims that the public Must have/ and Must take to achieve health or well being............. Not proper Nutrition, or proper Diet, or Nutritional Supplements which is the REAL solution to their (public 's) disease prevention or disease treatment dilemma for any health issue that needs to be addressed. This would require ( Oooooh, NO) a behavior change amongst the disease ridden public.
@@RStark-ek7mh Good guess. I'm old enough to remember when conservatives and Republicans respected science. Nowadays they've turned into a cult of willfully ignorant, pathologically alienated, anti science twits. It is distressing.
Last November I decided to change my eating habits for much healthier foods.I now buy most of my foods at the health food store.Ive lost thirty seven pounds since then and I feel so much better in general!
Can I suggest intermittent fasting is a way to reset or intermittent fasting with just bone broth and do that for a couple days and it will give you an appetite reset you’ll be able to taste real food again and your craving for sugar will go way down because it’s like your body resets itself
Thank you so much for this video, everyone should listen to this. I have wanted to improve my gut for some time but wasn’t quite sure how to do that, this was very helpful.
I'm the father in the family. I was taught that the man is the leader of the home. Not in a tyrannical way but morally and spiritually he leads. I'm really trying. My family, especially my wife is pushing back so much on these food issues. She says it's too inconvenient to not buy processed food. And they (the kids) will feel left out from the rest of the culture. I'm struggling to get this through to her about how poisonous these foods are. She says I'm over reacting. What can I do, I'm at my wits end? I work. She is a stay at home mom.
I hear u. My fiance is the same way. Don’t stress. Let them figure it out on their own. I tried to teach my fiance but he doesn’t want to hear it. He doesn’t understand. It is what it is.
My husband is same way. He is so addicted to sugar and processed foods and now he had gotten our teen boys addicted as well. I have tried for years to get them to eat like I do. I eat very minimally processed foods, no gluten, no corn, and no veg or canola oils. I can’t get him on board. He is overweight and has gout.
@@marleeamato4944 It's disheartening when you know for a fact there is a better way and they would rather not listen to you. When I first started this I went to my wife excited to tell her and she shot it down. She said "don't push your conspiracy theories on us" At that point I didn't know what to do.
The only way to shop properly in the grocery store is mainly stick to the fruits/vegetables & meat section. Rarely go down the main isles and when you do, you better read that label to see what crap chemicals it’s chocked full of and simply put it back. After I got hypothyroidism I had to completely and radically change my diet, now my tastebuds are so used to ‘real’ food, I can’t eat processed foods and even most restaurants. Last week I tried to eat a snicker bar for the first time in years, I got three bites down and stopped, it tasted like wax mostly and other things that repulsed me-later I got bathroom issues. Eating the right food is serious business…your literal life depends on it. Good luck to all.
I'm so glad I began watching Dr Lustig's videos and reading his books. In 6 months I almost completely reversed type 2 diabetes. This evening I met a diabetic guy on the bus who explained to me he found it hard to quit sugar and refined carbs. He also revealed that he is currently on Kidney dialysis, has had a number of toes amputated and has ulcers, all as a direct result of his poor diet. It made me so sad to listen to him.
A family friend just lost toes. His blood sugar runs over 400 every single day. My mother, a retired nurse, said once you've gotten so bad that you're losing body parts, your days are numbered. The damage you've done is so great, even if the amputation scared you straight and you fixed your diet, you will continue to slowly lose body parts until you die.
@@HARRi81_UK I agree. We must. But seems to me that the cigarette manufacturers had a lot to answer for when it was realized how bad the product was. Today there is NO sign of such an event happening to the soda pop companies. I think they make their product highly addictive and give it that “all American” kinda of vibe in the adverts. By the time ppl realize it’s a problem someone has passed away and they still give the stuff to kids like it’s water.
@@kerim.peardon5551 A shocking state of affairs. I'm so sorry that has happened to your family friend. Yes unfortunately as you age and things have been progressing for so long it becomes difficult to manage.
People in childhood are not taught what real food is. People are unaware that our taste buds become "trained" to be very attracted (Addicted?) to certain poor quality food. They therefore fail to know that their taste buds can be RETRAINED to love the taste of healthy food and to be repelled by the flavor of most low quality food. It takes a willingness to try to change and a willingness to be patient enough to repeat eating healthy foods and no unhealthy foods long enough for the "REtraining" of their taste buds take place. If pone can do this their health and even life expectancy will increase a lot. Their brains & thinking will also improve!
My son tried a school lunch last week instead of having a lunch I prepared for him. He wanted to know what he felt SO tired after eating his school lunch versus the one he usually takes.....this was a win for me and hopefully he will not want that school tripe anymore!
Stay away from the crisps, biscuits, cakes, bread and cereals aisles, all full of seed oils, emulsifiers and soya lecithins, plus a plethora of E numbers.
My grocery bill has gone up $100 just by buying organic and grass fed etc. My kids are healthy and fit where many of their peers aren’t so money well spent.
What your grandparents recognized as food? My grandparents, even my father, would not eat anything they did not know from their youth, including "trendy" vegetables such as avocado or shiitake mushrooms. And some things they would generally buy from a can such as potato or pea soup or also red cabbage. It is difficult if you buy "fresh" fruits and veggies from the supermarkets and they have then been treated with pesticides or other chemicals without your knowledge.
Ive been taking probiotics for about 10 years, after having bad ibs bouts, and it has made a huge difference! I have also been changing my diet to more whole foods, and less processed foods.
Don’t say “we” say “you” because I don’t ever eat unhealthy food. My refrigerator and cabinet have very few items because there is very little healthy food to choose from. I ate out once last year in the best restaurant in the state and it was the worst meal I ate last year. Eating only organic I could taste the chemicals in the restaurant food.
We grow most of our own fruit and veggies and berries. You can definitely taste a difference. I don’t even eat tomatoes during the winter that I would have to buy from the store. They taste like nothing. I freeze extra and have them for soups and chili and smoothies for the winter months. I haven’t gotten sick in over 30 years. I’m 58 now 😀👍🏻
Whole food vegan here 30 years. Increasingly we are growing more and more of what we need right at home. Plant growing systems are amazing now, some completely automatic.

I think we have been there for a while now, sad but true and it's gonna get worse I'm afraid. Just keep asking Jesus to help us give us his Holy Spirit to lead us guide us and wisdom or we will not be seeing the Lord.
Absolutely! They know exactly what they are doing. We are being "slow poisoned" by the food industry, being kept alive long enough to use society's goods and services and to provide labour. And when we get sick from "the food" that's when the medical industry gets its turn profit from us.
In the apple example I would love a “class 5”-mass-produced apple pie with added preservatives, dough conditioners and/or artificial sweeteners/colors.
I don't understand the hype around fiber. Every time there's a study, the group that gets the least amount of fiber has the best outcomes in terms of gut health. It also doesn't make sense, it's not like we've been eating a ton of fiber the last million years.
This is an excellent clip of the full conversation. When I first read/heard(?) the pro/pre-biotic part (10:00), it was one of those forehead-slapping moments.
We mostly stopped eating out several years ago. Most restaurants serve bland food is typically fried, oiled, salted, and sugared to death to make it taste good. And make it addictive. If we do venture out, it’s to a Middle Eastern or Ethiopian restaurant.
TRADER JOES FOOD IS NON-GMO, NON BIOENGINEERED....THEY USE REAL FOODS......LOOK IT UP👍, DRINK SPRING WATER, AND BUY ORGANIC, OR GROW GARDEN ....MOST IMPORTANT PRAY OVER YOUR FOOD, GIVE THANKS AND ASK GOD TO PURIFY, CLEANSE AND BLESS YOUR FOODS🙏
They most certainly sell food that has preservatives and additives and breads with gluten in it. Read the packaging in the store for items that are not along the perimeter….no different from a standard grocery…still has seed oil in products as well….scam…..
When the Government reward parents who feed their children these diets financially each month... how do you encourage them to feed their kids with food that will cure and heal. Saying it, without saying it ...
I have a question for Dr. Lustig. If probiotics do not work then why does yogurt and saurkraut work? Why do you have to keep eating them? Why do you still have to eat fiber? I ate plenty of fiber, but got ibs from a virus. The environment interacts too. Nobody talks about air quality and stress, that is why it it is a constant struggle.
I don't read it as him saying that they don't work, but, rather, to your point, questioning why we need to keep taking them. I talk about air quality and environmental issues (including stress) all the time. I'm a f'n blast at parties.
I make sauerkraut...30days to make...as a prebiotic for gut health. I also make my own antibiotics ... honey, and spices. Ill send the recipes of both to anyone who needs it.
@lindalai9092, then it is for the voters to do OUR job and get effective bold CONGRESSpeople who will exercise real oversight over the FDA. Must put blame where it belongs. This is Congress’ job and they have not done it.

OMG!!!! You are sooooo right. I was just thinking about that the other day.I don't buy them but I know someone at work who LOVES them.Not good food at all. Actually not food.
I read SAS survival guide once and it said to not eat rabbit meat too much cause it actually requires nutrients and vitamins to digest it without replacing so you can get malnourished by eating it too frequently....so what the heck happens with all this processes food then...it must take a huge amount of our natural vitamins nutrients to digest it....food is supposed to nurish us, i have a feeling processed food takes vitamins out of us rather than feed us. One simple rule to healthy eating - if it didn't have a life itself at one point then don't eat it.
Your thinking of protein poisoning it happens when you eat too much protein without enough fat and/or carbohydrates, which leaves your stomach full but your body malnourished. Excessive protein can overwhelm your liver and kidneys, leading to excess ammonia, urea, and amino acids in your blood. It’s a serious condition that can kill you. It’s similar to hyponatremia “water poisoning,” where people can actually drink themselves to death with water. But the water itself isn’t the problem, it’s the lack of salts/electrolytes to balance out the body’s chemistry. This can occur with any lean meat, not just Rabbit. That could include beef, caribou, chicken, deer, or squirrel.
9:18 “… AND YOU FLOOD YOUR LIVER… Now that fat precipitates and now you have insulin resistance and now you have chronic metabolic disease.” This is life changing words. I’m a get to it now!
It is not just a problem in Western Society, it is now a problem right through out the world. Asia, Africa, South America, The Middle East etc., etc., they are all addicted to and consuming so much processed food. And all getting fat with type 2 diabetes and all the other health problems that go with metabolic disease.
I went to buy some nut milk and i see almond and it said high in calcium, when i looked at the ingredients it had calcium carbonate added chalk!!!! Why would i want that, i looked at other brands and they all had a lot of additives, turned me right off
Nut milk: Water, nuts - blitz, blend. Some nuts like almonds work better if soaked overnight. The more nuts, the richer (and calorie dense) 100% nut pastes give great results. Mix nuts for your own concoction. There's probably only 5 almonds in a litre of store bought almond milk. (But I could be wrong)
@@laustcawz2089 When you cut nuts into tiny little pieces, like blitzing or creating a paste, you then mix thoroughly with water and hey presto a liquid with the colour of the nuts (eg white for raw macadamias, brown for roasted peanuts). "Milking" nuts creates oil. The same way a cocoa bean becomes a powder and when mixed with cow juice (a combination of water, fat and nutrients that a cow produces) and sugar becomes hot chocolate. When you buy prepared nut milk like almond milk it's a concoction of a few nuts, thickener, calcium etc.
I got into trucking when I had no money at all, thanks to med bills. Early on, I could only get convenience stores or dollar generals. They only have boxed "foods." Canned tuna is the only food. I had to spend big bucks on sit down restaurants, just to get something that didnt make me feel like total garbage. Even then, they pile on the carbs for your buck. Sad that there are communities that only have convenience store food. A fresh strawberry or a steak is hard to get on the road. Im glad to have my fridge/freezer, because I was dying on that other stuff. I cant even look at jerky anymore and I used to love it.
When i was in school we had actual health classes. We were taught nutrition, PE class was actual exercise & my parents didnt support regular eating of junk food. You either pay a little extra for real food now or you pay the "sick care" system later & exponentially at that.
"I know now why confusion in government is not only tolerated but encouraged. I have learned. A confused people can make no clear demands." John Steinbeck
Very good video. Researching how bad most commercial pet food is, has led me to find how bad most human food is, as well. So many cheap grains, used to make expensive junk food is amazing. The first few ingredients of Corn Chex cereal are the same as Purina Cat Chow! If you can't pronounce an ingredient, calcium pantothenate, thiamine mononitrate, mixed tocopherols, you probably shouldn't eat it. Or feed it to your pet.
The last time I bought groceries, I found seed oil in so many things that I began angrily slamming the items back down on the shelf. I swear someone is paying these companies to poison us.

Everyone should have the Yuka app on their phone. It’s a game changer.
Your mother is a wise woman. 👍🏻
With these criteria there is no real food left.

I make food at home with sugar, so thats not real food?
When i was a OTR truck driver back in and thru the 90's, I hauled chemicals from chemical plants straight to the food production plants. Any processed food has chemicals in it, chemicals with 10 or more lettered names that you can't even pronounce, and it's not just in the food it's also in beverages. I tried pronouncing those names on the bill of lading and i couldn't even come close. No way all these chemicals are in the ingredient labels much of it is left out. We're being poisoned to live short lives and support health care cost which then you're forced to buy health insurance for. It comes down to two things, money and population control. They don't just want you dead, they want your money on your way out before you go.
Exactly
This really the only comment you need for this video/topic honestly
Sounds exactly what they are doing with cancer. Take all your money on the way out. Instead of putting you on a diet that would starve the cells. They of course can't charge thousands of dollars for a diet.
Just like with smoking/vaping
I could be wrong, but isn't every food made of "chemicals".
I started reading labels at 17yo and I'm 65yo now. When I changed my diet back in my early 20s, I stopped getting sick all the time. Tastebuds change and you then can really taste the chemicals in processed food.
I've been avoiding high processed foods for years and maybe that explains why when I rarely cheat, the foods don't taste like they did when I was young...off taste...
FDA lied about the labels for years. have fun
I can taste the horrible Tap water ... especially After drinking Filtered
Totally this.
Going out to eat now is getting really hard.
Places you think are upscale pack the MSG in the food. I can taste it.
I’m not spending $90 to eat in a restaurant what I can buy at but at the store and get the same quality.
@Petunia-Greene Yeah, it's weird when you go to a "high end" restaurant, eat and then start feeling like crap, or you can taste the preservatives, or it tastes greasy or like it came frozen and was heated up. LoL.
''I 'm a cart watcher,....I'm a cart watcher,....here comes one now''. I must admit when I go to the grocery store I can not believe the amount of crap/garbage food that is piled mountain high in most peoples carts. I have to refrain from laughing,....or crying.
It is positively frightening the amount of absolute rubbish that people put into their shopping carts, no wonder the human race has never been sicker.
the same me but I'm also confused regarding the value or so ,for example I was lucky to buy salmon in sainsbury for 13£ reduced to 7£ and when I go poundland and see organic piece of salmon for 3£ I don't understand what I'm buying and what is worth of what.Especially healthy food is extremely expensive..
Same here! If people would stop buying crap they could afford the healthy food.
@@joycewright5386 Correct 💯%. Problem is they/we have all been brainwashed to eat this s--t, and have become addicted to it. Another problem that is never mentioned is modern technology eg., the smart phone, people are addicted to these as well and because of this have lost the ability to think for themselves and use their brain to reason why things happen. They just believe whatever is put in front of them. When a society cannot reason or think for themselves you can get them to do anything, this is Manna from heaven for the processed food industry. But you are just so correct in your statement, they could afford healthy food if they wanted to and stopped buying crap. 🍅🧄🧅🍣🥩🍉🥰🥰🥰.
Doesn't that have a label too now? 'Trolley-shaming' 🙄
I worry most about the inflammatory crappy oils which are in EVERYTHING
This is my main concern as well, then glyphosate contamination.
I'm 40 and becoming sensitive to foods. A favorite thing of mine was/is tortilla chips, salsa, guacamole.
My joints would/do feel worse after I have too much, but I couldn't pinpoint why.
Eliminated seed oils and my joint pain was gone.
@@paulmryglod4802 Good to hear that you were able to identify the cause(s). I have severe osteoarthritis which is genetic/epigenetic in my case. In general I avoid food that cann be inflamatory and eat things that are anti-inflamatory which helps (I think).
I'm always happy to hear from people who are younger being aware of what their body is telling them and taking steps to identify the problem(s) and take steps to eliminate it/them.
And also the products known under different names which are basically the same, namely polysaccharides derived mostly from genetically modified corns: glucose syrup, modified starch, (malto)dextrin.
@hvanoorschot Yeah, it's funny how none of my cookbooks have any of those on the ingredients lists.

That's one of the many things I love about Dr. Lustig; he's not a 'diet' fadist (or fascist). One of his best quotes is 'desert is fine, just not as every meal'. (or something to that effect.)
My motto is check the ingredients and “ If you can’t read it,Don’t eat it”.
Avoid soya, wheat, maltodextra, desxtrose, corn syrup, potato starch, sunflower oil, vegetable and rapeseed oil, added sugar
My food choices are getting less every day. They have contaminated most all our food supply and drinks too. We really have no control over anything. This food thing proves it.
Yea that’s the power that all the people have given to these companies

Grow your own food, vegetables and fruits. Even if you have an apartment it can be done
I have been growing my own foods and buying local for more than a second- but it’s a very long, hard, and pointless protest. The problem isn’t my individual choices. The problem is that cities consume too much and produce too little!..and that no one has learned green agriculture...I have to get pretty exotic to find green technology- It’s impossible for me to be the difference I’d like to see- because of everyone at Whole Foods and Wal-Mart- which have already put everyone out of business for over the decades....I have to drive an hour to get meat...I have to go to Ohio to get clay pipes...and everything is made of plastic- and Just because I spend the time and money to do things right- doesn’t mean that I am not massively outnumbered and aware that these chemicals volatile- So, they are in my everything despite my best long hard protest- I had no choice. I tried way to hard to live to have to breathe the same air as Tyson farms and GLAD manufacturing!!!

Who is "they"?
U are correct, don't think some of our food is Soylent green. !!! Most Burger fast food as well. ✌️💯
We vote with our wallets. As long as people keep buying crap “food”, they’ll keep making that crap !
Go into any large chain gas stations. All these sell is non real food ! Even the coffee they sell comes with 20 different kinds of sugary creamers. 😮 I occasionally will buy a coffee with a splash of half and half and I can’t believe all the obese people waiting in line to buy their lunch of chips, cookies and candies. And they wonder why they’re sick !
@donwinston turn that light bulb on inside yourself,you will answer your own question
Has anybody noticed lately when buying milk look at the expiration date some brands are up to 3 months in the future this milk must be full of chemicals I would never buy this man-made poison!
How is it that people on the carnivore diet reduce their inflammation, migraines, ibs, lose weight, heal joints, lower blood pressure, and improve sleep? I don’t think it’s the actual vegetables and fruits that are causing issues, it’s the man made chemicals that are in those foods.
Yes it can be fruit for fructoze intolerant, it can be all kind of vegetables that cause IBS and inflammation for certain people. So ,you don't think that vegetables and fruits are the culprit , but unfortunately they are in many cases. Another example would be night shade vegetables that can trigger autoimune illnesses. So , think again what are your affirmations. I think ,we should keep to ourselves what we think .
Everyone's body reacts different to different things. Peanuts are healthy but deadly for some unfortunate people. You know?
Two issues with plants : what they've been sprayed with, and the antinutrients in the plants.
Another reason why true carnivores can end up better then before is they abandon sugar, vegetable oils,and ultraprocesssed foods.
For me it's the fiber that I cannot tolerate without IBD symptoms so I just don't eat it and don't experience any issues.
Two things the human body can live without is fiber and sugar or carbohydrate generally.
But a agree with you in principle the chemicals added to our fruit and vegetables is poison there is no denying that.
But the years if genetic manipulation the increase the sugar content and size of our fruits and veggies is not natural.
These plant foods are not organic or natural anymore they are almost a processed food it it's own right and that to my untrained mind has to be a good part of the reason we are getting more sick as a society.
We need to eat the proper human diet.
@@kyles5513Yes! Different bodies react differently to different ingredients. Very processed foods are not good for anyone. Whole, unprocessed, high quality foods are a place to start. From there, you can figure out which things to avoid and which to have more of. Some people thrive on a mostly vegan diet, some thrive on carnivore. I lean pretty pescatarian, but I’ll have high quality meat once in a while. I love all vegetables, but some don’t make me feel well, so I avoid them.
When you go to the grocery store shop the perimeter and not the aisles. Im not saying that everything on the perimeter is good (most of it is) and everything in the aisle is bad (most of it is), but it is a good way to start. As for the aisles, i look for products with only natural ingredients and avoid seed oils, to include soy.
80% of grocery store stock is junk😂
This is true. This helped me with weight loss and self control.
'Perimeter' is the word I was looking for while writing another comment.
I think I first read that in _Omnivore's Dilemma_ . It's something I never really gave a thought to, as that has always been my shopping habit.
Wow, really good advice. I never looked at grocery store layouts like that before but it's so true. The aisles is where the crap is and most of the perimeter is where the real food is. Describes my grocery store perfectly.
@@christopherdieudonne Michael Pollan wrote about this and much more in _Omnivore's Dilemma_. A great deal of great info in that book.
I've been alive for 75 yrs and I've made mistakes with all sorts of behaviors. Learning from those mistakes has been hit or miss. Lately, as my health has returned from a devastating colon blockage resulting from extensive diverticulosis, I have begun to re-establish a healthy diet by: 1. eliminating as much processed 'food' as I possibly can.
2. minimizing simple carbs
3. minimizing meat consumption
4. snacking on whole fruits, nuts or ground nuts.
I think preservatives and sugar are poisoning and addicting us to themselves for profit. Thanks FDA!
I pray you stay happy and healthy for the rest of your life. So glad you're feeling better. God bless!!!
It is bonkers stupid to blame the FDA or the government. Sugar is not poison. That is a stupid notion. Sugar is not addictive. Sugar ranks a distant third to salt and fat in making "refined" foods that are super palatable.
Increase meat, easy peasy.

It's called junk for a reason !
Cook at home mad educate ur self on nutrition. Avoid eating out. That’s all I can say. I do the same. Eat grass fed beef.
When I went UPF and sugar free, I found it very difficult to begin with. After a while though I knew what to go for, had found suitable products in different shops and online and developed recipes. It takes time, effort and most of all cash, but it is possible to have a really clean diet with lots of organic produce, a low glycaemic load and one that is respectful of the microbiome.
Imo I think people would so appreciate a store or a brand name where they could be sure it is containing only real food and containing only Dr. approved products!
I know I would buy all my food from a place like that!
Do you want dumb doctor approved cigarettes? Most MD's vast majority are dumb, you think you want doctor approved food?
But it would be more expensive than the convenience crap. Real food already exists, it’s available from markets, farm shops, vegetable growers, egg farms……..

I wish- but they are feeding gmo grain to the animals who are also given antibiotics every day- ( we want grass fed) we crowd and confine chickens indoors and we soak them in bleach because they are contaminated.

My GI NP said her church mission group all took high doses of probiotics before, during, and after a trip to Mexico and none of them got sick.
Food is what comes out of the ground or what animals eat that comes out of the ground. I like that and I would also add that what to drink comes out of the sky.
Or what naturally can come from an animal, or the animal itself. That is also food.
I only drink a cup of coffee in the morning with just a splash of half and half and water the rest of the day 😊
And Fruits Grow on Trees.. And also water grows on a Tree.
Except what comes out of the sky is also poisoned and tampered with, unfortunately.
Except what comes out of the ground these days has been adulterated. Brussels sprouts of yesteryear looked nothing like and tasted nothing like they do today for example.
If our food isnt allowed in other countries that alone is enough to ask questions.

Just sharing my experience, my carnivore experiment lasted 14 days, afterwards I had no inflammation, no arthritis, no soreness in joints, no skin issues, significantly improved sleep and significantly improved late day energy. Previously, I had eaten salads, fruits and nuts, almonds. In my estimation, it was the elimination of the pesticides and herbicides that allowed my body to heal itself. Just my experience
It would be interesting to see what would happen if all your salads, fruits and nuts were certified organic.....
Meats are shot up with antibiotics
Depends who is certifying.....I try to grow as much as I can. I'm not about to.pay to have what I grow certified and very small scale smallholders/homesteaders can't always do so either, but there food may be purer than some certified stuff. There are some loopholes in the UK certified organic rules.
I’ve never had any inflammation pain or other health issues eating salads and vegetables. And I also eat meat. I’m basically sugar free and I don’t eat bread or pasta either. No flour, no chips etc. just REAL food.
In the Spring summer months we grow a lot of our own veggies and fruit. And I freeze a lot of that to use in chili and soups and smoothies. 😊

I watch Marcus Rothranz from The Healthy Life. He is vegan. Not sure if all his food that he buys is organic. It he is very healthy. He’s 61 and looks to be around 35-40. He hasn’t eaten meat in over 25 years. No sugar or junk food either. I don’t think straight up carnivore is the way to go. Most colon cancers were from diets lacking in fruits and veggies. But it could be too that people who hate veggies and eat meat, ALSO eat French fries and fast food. 🤷🏼♀️
My friend was eating Cool Whip one day and I told her to read the ingredients and she couldn't even pronounce most of them this is when you know not to eat something if you can't pronounce the ingredients don't eat it😮

I would suggest taking it a step further
& Googling the listed ingredients,
which might reveal some more
common names for some of them.
Cool Whip is a petroleum product.

I had been dealing with very painful inflammation for about 2 years (early 21 to early 23). Doctors kept switching meds. Nothing worked. I finally figured out that if I doubled down on eating meat, and limiting sugar as much as possible it slowly goes away.

@fitsodafun I just looked this up. Flaxseed oil has a burn temp of 225 degrees which is way less than olive oil at about 300 degrees. Neither of these oils should be used to fry or sauté anything. Flaxseed oil also goes rancid rather quickly and has to be refrigerated. And no it doesn’t taste that good. So it will never be a viable option really.

This is a great video. I started a journey in 2020 to REALLY figure out why I had been overweight for 40 years. I created my own sort of system where I try to keep my food within 3 degrees of separation from myself. So farmer to butcher, one degree. Butcher to me, 2 degrees. I also cut out seed oils (except evo), sugar of all types, and preservatives. This means 99% of the grocery store is not edible for me. I call it my grandmother's mother's diet. To date, I have lost 130 pounds and I've kept it off...still losing. You have to shift your mentality about food. My husband and I call any processed food poison or food flavored filler. Its not easy. We are inundated with pro poison propaganda and convenient death treats but it is possible! I'm buying this book. Very glad I happened into this video. Thank you!!!

At that point I didn't know what to do.
Some other guy was also commenting that he was the father in the family and he was taught that the earth was flat. Point is opinions are useless here.
The only way to shop properly in the grocery store is mainly stick to the fruits/vegetables & meat section. Rarely go down the main isles and when you do, you better read that label to see what crap chemicals it’s chocked full of and simply put it back. After I got hypothyroidism I had to completely and radically change my diet, now my tastebuds are so used to ‘real’ food, I can’t eat processed foods and even most restaurants. Last week I tried to eat a snicker bar for the first time in years, I got three bites down and stopped, it tasted like wax mostly and other things that repulsed me-later I got bathroom issues. Eating the right food is serious business…your literal life depends on it. Good luck to all.

@@kerim.peardon5551 A shocking state of affairs. I'm so sorry that has happened to your family friend. Yes unfortunately as you age and things have been progressing for so long it becomes difficult to manage.
People in childhood are not taught what real food is. People are unaware that our taste buds become "trained" to be very attracted (Addicted?) to certain poor quality food. They therefore fail to know that their taste buds can be RETRAINED to love the taste of healthy food and to be repelled by the flavor of most low quality food. It takes a willingness to try to change and a willingness to be patient enough to repeat eating healthy foods and no unhealthy foods long enough for the "REtraining" of their taste buds take place. If pone can do this their health and even life expectancy will increase a lot. Their brains & thinking will also improve!
I wish 50% less sugar or no sugar was just that. Not sugar replaced with artificial sweetener. Food that leaves a Splenda after taste is disgusting.

What your grandparents recognized as food?
My grandparents, even my father, would not eat anything they did not know from their youth, including "trendy" vegetables such as avocado or shiitake mushrooms. And some things they would generally buy from a can such as potato or pea soup or also red cabbage.
It is difficult if you buy "fresh" fruits and veggies from the supermarkets and they have then been treated with pesticides or other chemicals without your knowledge.

“In the Last Days, Good will be called Evil and Evil will be called Good.” Are We There YET ?
I think we have been there for a while now, sad but true and it's gonna get worse I'm afraid.
Just keep asking Jesus to help us give us his Holy Spirit to lead us guide us and wisdom or we will not be seeing the Lord.
Yes we are!
The people in charge (at the top) know exactly what they are doing
Absolutely! They know exactly what they are doing. We are being "slow poisoned" by the food industry, being kept alive long enough to use society's goods and services and to provide labour. And when we get sick from "the food" that's when the medical industry gets its turn profit from us.
Excellent conversation and I gained a lot of knowledge.
Great interview wow!
Go ahead and put food out and observe how animals do not eat it..
I had various store bougth greens out in my yard.. no animals are it
In the apple example I would love a “class 5”-mass-produced apple pie with added preservatives, dough conditioners and/or artificial sweeteners/colors.
And crust made using the seed oils / Crisco which is made using Benzene
How about apple pie that doesn't contain real apples? Kinda like those fake meat products.
Thank- you, awesome information
Thanks for providing good point of view on diet issues.
Is there more information about ”teaching breakfast”?

Great podcast! Now how does the probiotics work
I don't understand the hype around fiber. Every time there's a study, the group that gets the least amount of fiber has the best outcomes in terms of gut health. It also doesn't make sense, it's not like we've been eating a ton of fiber the last million years.
The kind of fiber that doesn't digest is eliminated in processed food. It keeps the GI tract clean.
Great explanations,4 class,good référence point for me thanks 🇨🇦
This is an excellent clip of the full conversation. When I first read/heard(?) the pro/pre-biotic part (10:00), it was one of those forehead-slapping moments.
Well I eat yoghurt everyday and It cures my ibs. If I stop eating it I am stuck on the 🚻
@@SagittariusMom, I love the FAGE 5% milk fat plain stuff. I toss in berries or raisins.
Best value for money.
Kimchi is another staple.
We mostly stopped eating out several years ago. Most restaurants serve bland food is typically fried, oiled, salted, and sugared to death to make it taste good. And make it addictive.
If we do venture out, it’s to a Middle Eastern or Ethiopian restaurant.
In love with Dr. Robert Lustig.
TRADER JOES FOOD IS NON-GMO, NON BIOENGINEERED....THEY USE REAL FOODS......LOOK IT UP👍, DRINK SPRING WATER, AND BUY ORGANIC, OR GROW GARDEN ....MOST IMPORTANT PRAY OVER YOUR FOOD, GIVE THANKS AND ASK GOD TO PURIFY, CLEANSE AND BLESS YOUR FOODS🙏
They most certainly sell food that has preservatives and additives and breads with gluten in it. Read the packaging in the store for items that are not along the perimeter….no different from a standard grocery…still has seed oil in products as well….scam…..
Wow this is scary stuff. 😮
Lustig is full of crap. You are a fool.
🎉 This was very informative thank you 🎉
These food companies don’t care. Very informative about class of foods! Thanks!!
And if the apple pie was made using Crisco or other seed oils ( processed vegetable oils that use Benzene in processing)
When the Government reward parents who feed their children these diets financially each month... how do you encourage them to feed their kids with food that will cure and heal. Saying it, without saying it ...
I have a question for Dr. Lustig. If probiotics do not work then why does yogurt and saurkraut work? Why do you have to keep eating them? Why do you still have to eat fiber? I ate plenty of fiber, but got ibs from a virus. The environment interacts too. Nobody talks about air quality and stress, that is why it it is a constant struggle.
I don't read it as him saying that they don't work, but, rather, to your point, questioning why we need to keep taking them.
I talk about air quality and environmental issues (including stress) all the time. I'm a f'n blast at parties.
I make sauerkraut...30days to make...as a prebiotic for gut health. I also make my own antibiotics ... honey, and spices. Ill send the recipes of both to anyone who needs it.
Do something about the FDA
Don’t allow big pharma to fund the F D A in the amount of 1.1billion plus per year!
@lindalai9092, then it is for the voters to do OUR job and get effective bold CONGRESSpeople who will exercise real oversight over the FDA. Must put blame where it belongs. This is Congress’ job and they have not done it.
Get real.
$$$$$$$$
Their job is to follow the elites who run the world and they follow the rule of population control. Bill Gates even said they want to reduce the population.
“This is not real food.” Dr Lustig, you can simply leave out the word “real” in your statement. Those are not food at all.
Literally every baked item in Walmart is gmo
Excellent doctor! very informative!
Takis are like an epidemic at schools
OMG!!!! You are sooooo right. I was just thinking about that the other day.I don't buy them but I know someone at work who LOVES them.Not good food at all. Actually not food.
7 year old hates hot food and picks them everytime.😢
I read SAS survival guide once and it said to not eat rabbit meat too much cause it actually requires nutrients and vitamins to digest it without replacing so you can get malnourished by eating it too frequently....so what the heck happens with all this processes food then...it must take a huge amount of our natural vitamins nutrients to digest it....food is supposed to nurish us, i have a feeling processed food takes vitamins out of us rather than feed us. One simple rule to healthy eating - if it didn't have a life itself at one point then don't eat it.
Your thinking of protein poisoning it happens when you eat too much protein without enough fat and/or carbohydrates, which leaves your stomach full but your body malnourished. Excessive protein can overwhelm your liver and kidneys, leading to excess ammonia, urea, and amino acids in your blood. It’s a serious condition that can kill you.
It’s similar to hyponatremia “water poisoning,” where people can actually drink themselves to death with water. But the water itself isn’t the problem, it’s the lack of salts/electrolytes to balance out the body’s chemistry.
This can occur with any lean meat, not just Rabbit. That could include beef, caribou, chicken, deer, or squirrel.
9:18 “… AND YOU FLOOD YOUR LIVER… Now that fat precipitates and now you have insulin resistance and now you have chronic metabolic disease.” This is life changing words. I’m a get to it now!
These oils they are using in every food are not cooking oils…the oil are more suitable to be used as an lubricant for a chain or metal parts
It is not just a problem in Western Society, it is now a problem right through out the world. Asia, Africa, South America, The Middle East etc., etc., they are all addicted to and consuming so much processed food. And all getting fat with type 2 diabetes and all the other health problems that go with metabolic disease.
Exactly 💯
I went to buy some nut milk and i see almond and it said high in calcium, when i looked at the ingredients it had calcium carbonate added chalk!!!! Why would i want that, i looked at other brands and they all had a lot of additives, turned me right off
Nut milk:
Water, nuts - blitz, blend.
Some nuts like almonds work better if soaked overnight.
The more nuts, the richer (and calorie dense)
100% nut pastes give great results.
Mix nuts for your own concoction.
There's probably only 5 almonds in a litre of store bought almond milk. (But I could be wrong)
@@hazelnutcase357
Thanks
Since when can nuts be milked, anyhow?
@@laustcawz2089 When you cut nuts into tiny little pieces, like blitzing or creating a paste, you then mix thoroughly with water and hey presto a liquid with the colour of the nuts (eg white for raw macadamias, brown for roasted peanuts). "Milking" nuts creates oil. The same way a cocoa bean becomes a powder and when mixed with cow juice (a combination of water, fat and nutrients that a cow produces) and sugar becomes hot chocolate.
When you buy prepared nut milk like almond milk it's a concoction of a few nuts, thickener, calcium etc.
Thanks
I got into trucking when I had no money at all, thanks to med bills. Early on, I could only get convenience stores or dollar generals. They only have boxed "foods." Canned tuna is the only food. I had to spend big bucks on sit down restaurants, just to get something that didnt make me feel like total garbage. Even then, they pile on the carbs for your buck. Sad that there are communities that only have convenience store food. A fresh strawberry or a steak is hard to get on the road. Im glad to have my fridge/freezer, because I was dying on that other stuff. I cant even look at jerky anymore and I used to love it.
When i was in school we had actual health classes. We were taught nutrition, PE class was actual exercise & my parents didnt support regular eating of junk food. You either pay a little extra for real food now or you pay the "sick care" system later & exponentially at that.
So true, the childish nature comes out when you tell adults and children what to do 😂

Very good video. Researching how bad most commercial pet food is, has led me to find how bad most human food is, as well. So many cheap grains, used to make expensive junk food is amazing. The first few ingredients of Corn Chex cereal are the same as Purina Cat Chow! If you can't pronounce an ingredient, calcium pantothenate, thiamine mononitrate, mixed tocopherols, you probably shouldn't eat it. Or feed it to your pet.
Carnivore heals.
Wacko.
Most people are too lazy to cook or don't know how.
Outside aisles only. Except frozen wild blueberries from Maine 😊 for me! Otherwise basically Carnivore and loving it. BBB&E
The Yuka app really helps
I love the four levels of an apple
What about apple juice
I eat a chocolate cake a week, because chocolate has lots of antioxidants.
It also has alot of refined wheat flour and sugar. Bad.
and only dark chocolate.....not milk chocolate it's not good for you at all
Don't forget to add in a bunch of donuts to your cake. Now you're reallyyyyy healthy

The last time I bought groceries, I found seed oil in so many things that I began angrily slamming the items back down on the shelf. I swear someone is paying these companies to poison us.
How true from a comment from a forma trucker. A lot of the food is full of chemicals. Grow your own if you can, stay away from processed foods. Nick Melbourne Australia
Have Americans been buying food thinking that's better than buying cigarettes? That's the comparison I'm making. Today's "food" - "cigarettes".
Funny you say that. The cigarette companies are buying up the food industry now.
