Speaker 0 summarizes the issue with prepackaged ground meat at multiple major retailers, including Kroger, Target, Walmart, Aldi, Food Lion, Piggly Wiggly, Whole Foods, and Fresh Thyme. He states that none of these packages tell you where the meat comes from, where it’s packaged, or what procedures were used to ensure safety. Behind the counter, employees say there’s information on the back to scan with your phone that leads to an FDA website. He claims the FDA website “could either be three d printed” and “could be a how do I put a cloned animal,” and that if that’s a problem, “well, TikTok, you need to check the the FDA website because it says it could be.” He urges caution, concluding with, “Let’s just say this, our food ain't food anymore.”

Speaker 0: You trust Costco with your family's dinner, but their meat undergoes a controversial process that's banned in several countries. Speaker 1: Everyone loves Costco chicken or even that rotisserie chicken from Walmart or your favorite grocery store. But what if that label on that rotisserie bird isn't telling you the whole story? What you're about to learn could change the way that you buy protein forever. Costco chicken is beloved and seen as a great deal. I know this. But recent discussions about preservatives, labeling accuracy, and contamination has put that belief at risk. Guys, look. Speaker 2: Costco is facing a lawsuit over its popular rotisserie chickens. A group of shareholders filed the lawsuit against the company over its treatment in raising chickens. Speaker 0: You trust Costco with your family's dinner, but their meat undergoes a controversial process that's banned in several countries. Most shoppers have no idea this is happening right under their noses. The real question isn't what they're doing. It's why they're allowed to do it. You know that famous $5 rotisserie chicken at Costco? The one that's been the same price since Obama was president? Well, there's a juicy secret they don't want you knowing about. Speaker 1: They label it as no preservatives, guys. And this goes hand in hand with Walmart and your probably your favorite grocery store. This is what I would call a huge scandal. There's a reason why those chickens have been four ninety nine since 2009. It's to get you in the store. It's to get you to spend a ton of money, and they've cut a lot of corners to make sure that it's cheap and easy to produce for you. Welcome, guys. My name's Cohen from Riverside Homestead. What I do is I give you guys value. I do the digging so you don't have to do it. So if you appreciate that, hit the thumbs up right now. Let the community know where you're chiming in from, what state, and let me crush your dreams on rotisserie chicken like ugh. Trust me. I know. So watch. This chicken is labeled as no preservatives, guys. And this goes hand in hand with Walmart and your probably your favorite grocery store. This is what I would call a huge scandal. There's a reason why those chickens have been four ninety nine since 2009. It's to get you in the store. It's to get you to spend a ton of money, and they've cut a lot of corners to make sure that it's cheap and easy to produce for you. Welcome, guys. My name's Cohen from Riverside Homestead.

Let the community know where you're chiming in from, what state, and let me crush your dreams on rotisserie chicken like ugh. Trust me. I know. So watch. This chicken is labeled as no preservatives, organic, healthy as it gets. We've talked about this before on this channel. Loopholes. Speaker 0: Costco injects every single rotisserie chicken with a phosphate solution before it hits those warming lights. Think you're buying pure chicken? Think again. You're paying for water with a side of poultry. This liquid injection makes each bird weigh significantly more, So you're essentially buying a sponge that's been soaked in chemical juice. Speaker 1: Did you guys know that these chickens are only about six weeks old because of everything that they pump into them? It's a marketing ploy to get you through the door for the cheap chicken and buy everything else. And there's active lawsuits right now. This is especially bred chicken in horrible conditions. Speaker 3: Grown and fattened on likely corn and soy that's GMO to create this chicken in six weeks that you're eating. They take it to a mass slaughter house where they dip it in chlorine and other toxins to make it safe, and it's leaving those residues on the chicken. And this bird isn't just seasoned with normal herbs and spices. They have preservatives in here like sodium phosphate that's linked to liver and kidney damage and carrageenan, which can degrade into polygenin, which is a known inflammatory agent and possible carcinogen. Speaker 1: Yeah. I found information on that from another doctor. Speaker 4: Doctor Tanya, what's one thing you never buy from the grocery store? Rotisserie chicken. Why? The bag the chicken is stored in is plastic, and it leaches chemicals that get into the food when it's sitting under the heat. Most stores inject the chickens with additives so that they can last on the shelf longer. Chickens are often marinated in a preservative solution. We opt for preservative free cosmetics, and then we're eating preservative infested chicken. And carrageenan. This is a chemical that precooked poultry is injected with to make it tender and juicy, but guess what? It can also inflame the gut. Carrageenan is banned in Europe, but not in The United States. Speaker 1: Yet again, another ingredient item banned in other countries, but allowed in The US. I know we love it because it's such a good deal. It's cheap. It's easy. It's taste great. I'm on the struggle bus with you guys on this one, but I'm reading countless articles, discussion about preservatives, labeling accuracy and contamination that has put all this belief at risk. Now I recently was at a Costco filming this right here. I was there. I saw it. It says no added hormones or steroids in a chicken that is fully developed in six weeks. Right there at the bottom, you can see it says no added preservatives. And have you ever wondered why it's in a plastic bag that you can put in your microwave? Microwave safe, plastic bag, put the two and two together. Speaker 3: Right out of the oven stored in a plastic bag. Nobody really knows what type of plastic bag this is, but it's likely a mix of polyethylene terephthalate. Remember that word phthalate? It's a known hormone disruptor, and this is microwave safe. So you're putting hot food into a plastic bag that can leach these hormone disrupting chemicals, and a 117,000,000 of these are eaten each year in The US. So share this video with your friends. Speaker 1: This is what I'm talking about. Hundreds of thousand millions of these chickens are sold in The US a year. This is why you need to share this out. Sorry folks, but they're just cutting too many corners these days. And it comes down to us. And who's gonna suffer? Us. They're gonna make a ton of money. So if you dive into the legal term no preservatives, they found loopholes to where they can actually put this legally. This is where the class action lawsuit or the lawsuit from a couple people in California are like, hold up. Wait a minute, you guys are using this stuff and this is preservatives, but you guys are saying it's no preservatives. In short, the processing agents that they're using can be deemed not to be called preservatives. Oh yeah, you're getting something with no preservatives, organic as it gets. Yet at the end of the day, you and I would look at that cross eyed and be like, Yeah, what they're using works the same way. It's not what you think it is. That's just what it is. I'm not sure if you guys have seen what these large scale poultry processing facilities look like, but it's not happy chickens walking around a field eating green grass and bugs. Think about the cross contamination that occurs and what safeguards exist and where they fail. For certain that these huge plants they fail. Great thing for Costco is they can scale. They can pump out millions of birds in six weeks and give it to us for a low price even with them losing money. That's right. Like I said, scammedemic kind of they will take a loss on this because they're producing at such a large scale and cutting corners just to get you through the door for that $4 and 99 rotisserie chicken so that you put hundreds of dollars of their stuff in your cart and check out. Other stores, Walmart, other grocery stores, they have caught on to this. They know what Costco found out. They're all doing the same thing. This is information that you need to consider. Speaker 5: Alright, guys. Here are three scary facts about Costco chicken that'll hopefully make you never buy this shit ever again. Alright. So I had to move on over to Lowe's to show you part two of this video. So they start by bathing the chicken in chlorine. They actually put it in a chlorine bath, and it soaks in this chlorine for about thirty minutes. Why does that and should that matter to you? I'm gonna tell you. Next thing they do is they inject the chicken with a chemical compound called TSP. It's trisodium phosphate. Guys, I'm just at Lowe's pulling this stuff off the shelves. This is crazy. I mean, this is the shit that you're allowing into your body. Read the warning label on this and tell me that this is a good idea to ingest in the human body. And then the last thing, which is I don't know if it's scarier than the other two things. They're all really bad. But they they let the chicken sit in these plastic bags, and they sit there for days on end, hours, days, whatever. It's sitting in your fridge for probably a long time. There are microplastics being released into the chicken from the plastic bags that are getting into your body, and it is unbelievably bad for you. Mean, there's microplastics showing up in human hearts, in in in men's testicles. Like, it's really, really bad, guys. So here's the deal. Everyone's gonna ask me, what do I do? Buy your chickens local. Go to your local farmer's market. Go to your local farms. They are a little bit more expensive, so just eat less or go or or just be resourceful and find deals. But stop buying this shit because it's literally killing you. Speaker 1: When I go to Home Depot and I pull TSP off the shelves, what kind of chemical is that? Speaker 6: So when you grab TSP at Home Depot, you're holding trisodium phosphate. It's a heavy duty cleaner, often used to degrease and prep surfaces before painting. Powerful stuff. Just use it with care. Speaker 1: What's the caution label say? Speaker 6: The caution label on TSP usually warns about skin and eye irritation. So gloves and goggles are a must. It'll also say not to inhale the dust and to keep it away from kids. Basically, respect the power and you'll be good. Speaker 1: What if you eat it? Speaker 6: If you ingest TSP, it's no joke. It can cause serious irritation. Think burns in your mouth, throat and stomach. The label will tell you to seek medical help immediately. No waiting. Speaker 1: So yeah, definitely not a seasoning. Speaker 1: But if you go down the rabbit hole on that one, it's gonna say that it's a different type and it's the safe version and the FDA would never allow that specific one in your food. Just a different one. So when they put it in like rotisserie chicken, they're probably just putting safe amounts of it. Speaker 6: Oh no, don't worry. They're not putting TSP in your rotisserie chicken. That'd be a disaster. Some food safe phosphates might be used in processing, totally different and regulated, but the cleaning product TSP strictly for walls, not wings. Speaker 1: Are you sure it's not the same thing? Because a lot of reels say it's the same thing. Speaker 6: Yeah. I get why those reels pop up, but trust me, food grade phosphates and TSP cleaner are not the same. The food versions are heavily regulated for safety. If they try tossing the Home Depot stuff in your chicken, the FDA would have a feel day. So no worries. Speaker 1: I'm telling you guys, it's a deep dive in half. Make informed decisions. Realize that these big companies are all about making the money, not about bringing you the safest product. And trust me, it's a little bit of a stab to me too because I like easy, I like tasty and we need that sometimes. But in this case, they may have jumped through too many hoops too many times, and it's putting Us consumers possibly in a bad position. Speaker 1: I've got two other great videos. If you guys didn't see these videos, you gotta watch these. These will blow your mind equally as much. Please let me know what you think down in the comments. Thumbs up. Share this out and subscribe because I've got a lot more coming down the pipe. Keep prepping, keep learning, keep doing. We'll see you guys on the next one.

Speaker notes a recent change in Great Value canned corn, suggested by social media. They checked every can of Great Value corn in their pantry; only the corn shows the change. They say: "the calories doubled almost everything in the nutritional label doubled" and the ingredients read: "corn, water, salt, corn, water, salt." The product is now "a product of Thailand," and the cans display a California warning label, with "the California cancer warning" on there. They speculate this may be linked to pesticides used in Thailand. They also claim: "they very specifically removed the it's great for you, this little guy here," and that "if you go look up on their website" you can read about it, but "the new cans do not" have that icon.

Six weeks from peep to chicken. Wherever rotisserie chickens are sold, force fed grain is likely GMO grain, glyphosate. Law of biological concentration, eating all that grain to get fat in six weeks. That's bioaccumulating in the tissues of this chicken. It's so toxic. They're dipping in a chlorine. It creates carcinogenic byproducts and the chlorine gets inside the chicken. You start injecting preservatives into this thing. Carrageenan, which through the cooking process turned into polygenin, which is also toxic to our bodies. Then we put it in a plastic bag that's likely a blend of different plastics, but one of them being PET, polyethylene terephthalate. Phthalate. One of the worst testosterone robbing hormone disrupting compounds on the planet in that bag with a hot chicken, then we eat it. It needs to be in the garbage can. It's a slam dunk out of your diet.

Zen from Moms Across America states that Panera Bread had the highest level of glyphosate among all of the top 20 fast food restaurants tested. They acknowledge Panera’s public claim of “clean ingredients,” and emphasize that glyphosate is not clean. Glyphosate, known widely as Roundup, is described as the most widely used herbicide in the world. It is called a carcinogen and an endocrine disruptor, and is said to cause liver and kidney disease. It is described as a neurotoxin and a nervous system damager, and is said to kill sperm and to androgenize baby girls. The speaker notes that these effects are from animal studies. Zen mentions that there are many human studies as well showing a connection to increased miscarriages and prenatal births and birth defects. The message is that Panera Bread needs to do better, and they should put glyphosate on their no-no list and require that their suppliers only provide wheat and grains that have not been sprayed with glyphosate. The speaker states that they are asking Panera to do that, and that thousands of signatures are needed. The speaker urges viewers to visit momsacrossamerica.org, click on action, and find the fast food petitions page under action. The goal is to help get Panera to put glyphosate on the no-no list, describing this as a huge win for the food industry because Panera is one of the biggest purchasers of wheat products, using it for sandwich breads across the country. The appeal is for petition signatures to press Panera to adopt a glyphosate-free standard for their ingredients.

Paper cups should absorb water, but if they don't, it's due to a polyethylene plastic barrier. A study found that hot liquids in paper cups leach 25 microplastic particles in fifteen minutes, yet this is largely unexamined. The human body struggles to metabolize plastics, which break down into nanoplastics that can penetrate cell membranes, causing inflammation as the body recognizes them as foreign objects. Microplastics also release plasticizer chemicals and can carry toxic chemicals into the body.

Many paper receipts contain harmful chemicals, including Bisphenol S (BPS), which can cause metabolic disorders, reproductive system toxicity, and promote certain breast cancers. In a study conducted by Cox Media Group, 80% of the 240 receipts collected contained BPS. Exposure to these chemicals has been linked to various health issues such as neurological conditions, fertility problems, and certain cancers. Some retailers, like CVS, Starbucks, and Whole Foods, do not use BPS in their receipts. Target claims to have switched to BPS-free receipt paper, but one receipt tested positive for BPS. Experts suggest avoiding receipts whenever possible, as prolonged contact can increase exposure. The Paper Receipts Converting Association defends BPS as a safer alternative to the banned chemical BPA, but many national chains have moved away from phenol-based receipts.

Speaker 1 discusses Kerrygold and grass-fed butter, saying Kerrygold is facing heat after admitting their grass-fed cows are fed genetically modified corn and soy for weeks at a time. Speaker 2 adds that one Kerrygold block carries months of industrial residue, and asserts that the grass-fed label is not 100% accurate. The claim continues that for months, these cows are also fed lab-engineered rations, driving inflammatory omega-6s straight into the spread. Speaker 0 notes that when people look at healthy foods like grass-fed butter, they pay more believing it’s better, less inflammatory, with fewer omega-6s. The belief is challenged by the claim that one of the largest suppliers of grass-fed butter is not feeding their cows grass but GMO corn and GMO soy. The discussion labels this as consumer fraud at the highest levels and expresses a wish that the government would take action. Speaker 2 specifies that in 2023 Kerrygold was pulled from shelves for leaching PFA chemicals from the packaging, adding another layer to the controversy. Overall, the speakers allege that Kerrygold’s grass-fed butter involves cows fed GMO corn and soy for extended periods, with cows receiving lab-engineered rations that increase omega-6 inflammatory content, and that the product was retracted in 2023 due to PFA chemicals in the packaging. They frame the situation as consumer fraud tied to premium pricing for grass-fed butter, and call for governmental intervention.

One day, while waiting in a long line at Chick-fil-A, I questioned why a chicken sandwich would attract so many people. Curious, I researched the ingredients. During the ongoing debate between Chick-fil-A and Popeyes, I discovered that the Popeyes chicken sandwich contains over 40 ingredients, with 32 being man-made chemicals. Chick-fil-A's sandwich has over 50 ingredients, with more than 40 also being man-made. This led me to conclude that these sandwiches are highly addictive due to the chemicals, particularly MSG. After sharing this information, Chick-fil-A removed the ingredient list from their website, suggesting they don't want customers to know about the additives that contribute to cravings rather than nutritional value.

Plastic bottles from brands like Coke, Pepsi, and Keurig are leaching antimony, a toxic heavy metal, into drinks. Antimony has no biological function and can cause heart, liver, and kidney damage, and cancer. The contaminated plastic is PET, identifiable on the bottle's bottom. Studies confirm antimony can leach from PET bottles even at room temperature. Heating the bottles, such as in a car or in the sun, can cause antimony levels to exceed EPA limits. To avoid this contamination, consumers should opt for bottled water in glass or use home RO units and stainless steel containers.

BPA-free bottles may contain replacement chemicals that are 10 times worse for hormones. Safe plastic alternatives can be more potent hormone disruptors than BPA. Plastic mimics estrogen more powerfully than BPA, accumulates in the brain and fat tissue, overwhelms the liver, disrupts thyroid function, and creates metabolic chaos. These chemicals are in receipts, food containers, water bottles, and personal care products. The plastic detox protocol includes DIM 200mg daily, Calcium D Glucarate 1000mg, NAC 600mg twice daily, and/or milk thistle. Daily habits include using glass containers, filtering water, avoiding heated plastics, and regular sauna sessions. Warning signs of plastic exposure include hormone imbalances, thyroid issues, unexplained weight gain, mood changes, and energy crashes.

Drinking water in plastic water bottles can cause hormone issues. Plastic water bottles contain a chemical called BPA. Bisphenol eight, which is known to be an endocrine disruptor. Your endocrine system is your body's hormone producing system. These endocrine disruptors can mimic hormones, which means they can either overstimulate or understimulate certain endocrine glands, and then you have hormone problems. Well, carry your water in a metal water bottle. I love my Yeti. If you have a plastic water bottle sitting in the car in the sun, throw it away. Don't warm up your foods in plastic containers. Don't store them in plastic containers. Even though a bottle may stay BPA free, there's another chemical called BPA S. This is an endocrine disruptor as well. Try that and let your endocrine system work the way it's supposed to.

THE FITNESS DOCTOR: The BEST and WORST Behaviors For Overall Health | Dr. Rhonda Patrick
Guests: Dr. Rhonda Patrick
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses the importance of cardiorespiratory fitness as a key marker for longevity, emphasizing that vigorous exercise can significantly improve health outcomes. She highlights that engaging in high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can have effects on blood pressure comparable to antihypertensive drugs. The conversation begins with a focus on fitness, detailing various types of exercise, including endurance, strength training, and HIIT, and their distinct benefits for both physical and mental health. Patrick shares her personal fitness journey, noting the importance of resistance training for muscle mass and overall health, especially as one ages. She explains that vigorous exercise not only enhances cardiovascular health but also produces lactate, which serves as a signaling molecule that promotes brain health by increasing brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), crucial for neurogenesis and cognitive function. The discussion then shifts to microplastics, which are pervasive in the environment and potentially harmful to human health. Patrick explains that microplastics can enter the body through food, water, and air, accumulating particularly in the brain. Recent studies have shown alarming correlations between microplastics in the brain and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. She emphasizes the need for more research on microplastics and their health impacts, particularly their role in inflammation and cardiovascular disease. Patrick advises on practical steps to reduce exposure to microplastics, such as avoiding heating plastic containers, using glass or stainless steel for food and drink, and filtering water with reverse osmosis systems. She also discusses the dangers of plastic-associated chemicals like BPA and phthalates, which can disrupt hormonal systems and are linked to various health issues, including fertility problems and neurodevelopmental disorders in children. The conversation touches on the regulatory landscape, highlighting the lack of stringent regulations on microplastics and plastic-associated chemicals in consumer products. Patrick calls for greater awareness and consumer pressure to encourage companies to test for and reduce harmful substances in their products. In conclusion, she stresses the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle through exercise and nutrition while being mindful of environmental toxins, particularly microplastics and their associated chemicals. Patrick encourages listeners to educate themselves and take actionable steps to minimize their exposure to these harmful substances.
