Seed oils are considered unhealthy ingredients in foods due to government subsidies that make them cheap. They are associated with serious illnesses, including body-wide inflammation, and are almost unavoidable in processed foods. The government subsidizes these unhealthy foods due to corruption, with the FDA's budget largely coming from regulated industries that profit from a sick population. Food coloring, like yellow food coloring, is a petroleum product linked to depression, autoimmune injuries, and ADHD. While Europe uses natural coloring in the same products, the US has almost 1,000 chemicals in its food that are banned or discouraged in Europe. About 70% of the food stamp program subsidizes processed foods. "Natural flavors" are often chemical products, and ingredient labels cannot be trusted due to government corruption and industry capture of agencies like the USDA and FDA. Non-organic produce like kale, strawberries, and grapes are often contaminated with harmful pesticides, negating their health benefits.

Speaker 0: I thought it'd be great to just kind of look at some of these items because parents are encountering these food items in grocery stores everywhere. Maybe we could just start right here with seed oils. We're hearing a lot about seed oils. Why should people be worried about these kind of products? Speaker 1: "Seed oils are one of the most unhealthy ingredients that we have in foods. Seed oils, The reason they're in the foods is because they're heavily subsidized. They're very very cheap but they are associated with all kinds of very very serious illnesses including body wide inflammation Right. Which affects all of our health. It's one of the worst things you can eat, and it's almost impossible to avoid. If you eat any processed food, you're gonna be eating seed oil."

Ultra processed food is designed to be addictive and not filling, leading to overconsumption. The rise in calorie intake is linked to increased consumption of ultra processed foods, which are engineered to make us eat more. This has created a mass addiction crisis, with parents unknowingly feeding their kids harmful foods. To address this, we need to reduce ultra processed food consumption by removing corrupt nutrition researchers and advisors. This will prevent companies from manipulating our food choices.

If you wanted to make a perfect food to get people addicted, overweight, and sick, you'd create ultra processed food. It's not just unhealthy. It's literally engineered to hijack your biology. This stuff leads to chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, and nutrient deficiencies. The mix of refined carbs, fats, and sugar you find in processed foods, that combination doesn't exist in nature. Your brain is not wired to handle it. It lights up your reward center in your brain like a slot machine, causing overeating and unending cravings. Even worse, it's completely unfilling. Imagine sitting down eating an entire bag of potato chips, literally thousands of calories, and you're still hungry. So if you want to start feeling better, have more mental clarity, and jump start your health, let's start with cutting processed foods.

Seed oils are unhealthy ingredients linked to serious illnesses like body-wide inflammation, but are used in processed foods because they are heavily subsidized. The government subsidizes unhealthy foods due to corruption, with 75% of the FDA's budget coming from regulated industries that profit from a sick population. Food coloring, like yellow food coloring, is a petroleum product associated with depression, autoimmune injuries, and ADHD. While Europe uses natural coloring, the US uses almost 1,000 chemicals in food that are banned or discouraged in Europe. 70% of the food stamp program subsidizes processed foods. "Natural flavors" are chemical products, and ingredient labels cannot be trusted due to government corruption and agencies being captured by the industries they regulate. Non-organic produce like kale and strawberries are contaminated with pesticides, with the Environmental Working Group identifying the "dirty dozen" worst offenders. Unless certified organic, these foods can be harmful.

Americans are dying younger than people in comparable countries, a trend that started in the 1990s with a rise in chronic diseases. A major cause is our diet, where harmful substances are government-approved and end up in our food. Take yellow dye number five, or tartrazine, found in many foods, including those marketed to children as healthy choices. Originally derived from toxic coal tar, it's now made from petroleum and linked to tumors, asthma, and neurological issues. While other countries restrict it, the U.S. allows it in everything from snacks to vitamins. Removing such chemicals would lead to immediate health benefits: fewer sick days, better focus, less anxiety, and longer lives. While some progress has been made, with eight chemical additives banned in the past sixteen years, more needs to be done to stop the poisoning of American children and make America healthy again.

Ultra processed food is identified as the number one killer, with studies clearly linking ultra processed foods to microbiome dysfunction. The speaker notes that we allow all these chemicals to enter our food system without proper testing. The science is now showing that many of these emulsifiers that glue food together, artificial sweeteners, and sugar alcohols—things commonly found in ultra processed foods—have a negative effect on the microbiome. The speaker envisions a future in which we are not merely fighting an ever increasing number of diseases with expensive MRI scans. Instead, there is a push toward taking action at a population epidemiology level. In this envisioned future, these foods should have health warnings on them, rather than health promotion benefits.

The FDA has made little progress in addressing the obesity and type 2 diabetes epidemics affecting millions of Americans. Despite a 2010 recommendation for front-of-package nutrition labels, the FDA has repeatedly missed deadlines for implementation. Other countries, like Chile and Peru, have successfully reduced unhealthy food consumption through similar labeling laws. To combat these health issues, strong warning labels on unhealthy foods and a ban on junk food advertising targeted at children are essential. Research suggests that banning such ads could significantly reduce childhood obesity rates. Additionally, there is a need to lower the high prices of diabetes and weight loss medications. Legislation has been introduced to require warning labels and ban junk food ads aimed at children, highlighting the urgency of addressing these public health concerns.

I learned very little about the root causes of declining American health during my time at Stanford Medical School. For example, each additional serving of ultra-processed food increases early mortality by 18%, yet these foods constitute 67% of children's diets. I had no nutrition courses and discovered that 82% of independently funded studies show harm from processed food, while 93% of industry-sponsored studies report no harm. Additionally, 95% of those who developed the USDA Food Guidelines had conflicts of interest with the food industry. Every year, a billion pounds of synthetic pesticides are sprayed on food, with 99.99% of U.S. farmland affected. These chemicals are linked to serious health issues, including autism, ADHD, hormonal disruptions, various cancers, and infertility.

America has an addiction crisis related to food, which is profitable for big food companies whose objective is to create cheap, addictive food. Almost every chronic condition shortening American lives is tied to food. Ultra-processed food makes up 70% of our diet and is weaponized with sugar, seed oils, and processed grains. The speaker claims the food market is rigged, and while working for the food industry, they helped pay off regulators, the media, lawmakers, and researchers to promote ultra-processed food as healthy. Coca-Cola allegedly pays organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics. The food industry is purportedly taking away humans' innate sense of what's good for them, hiring scientists from tobacco companies to shift them over to food science. Ultra-processed food is a science experiment that hijacks our evolutionary biology, making food addictive and normalized.

Avoid toxic foods like Nutella, Hot Cheetos, Starburst, Kit Kat, Doritos, and M&M's. These snacks are loaded with sugar, unhealthy fats, artificial colors, and high sodium levels. They can lead to weight gain, diabetes, heart disease, and other health issues. Nutella has sugar and unhealthy fats, Hot Cheetos have artificial colors and high sodium, Starburst contains corn syrup and artificial flavors, Kit Kat has refined sugars, Doritos have MSG and artificial colors, and M&M's have artificial colors and hydrogenated fats. These foods can trigger allergic reactions, obesity, and even cancer.

The processed food industry has discovered methods to make food addictive while removing its nutritional value. People are addicted to the synthesized taste of these foods, which lack nutrients. The result is consumption of unhealthy food filled with laboratory-created chemicals that the body is not designed to metabolize.

This is the simplest thing you can do to lose weight. Avoid the fat triad. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, we know that eating processed foods like these will leave you fat, sick, and unhealthy. All processed foods are composed of the fat triad, the three worst things for humans to eat. Seed oils, processed sugar, and processed grains. Think about it. Every processed food you eat, chips, cookies, candies, cakes, cereals, breads, contains the fat triad. They contain seed oils like corn, canola, or soybean. They contain processed sugars, high fructose corn syrup, or dextrose, and they contain processed grains like wheat or corn. Cutting out the fat triad, seed oils, processed sugars, and processed grains from your life will absolutely result in you losing weight effortlessly, and you will get healthier along the way. Guaranteed.

There are foods that promote heart disease that should be eliminated regardless of age, race, or risk. Ultra-processed foods are science projects made by the food industry to addict you, creating weird signals in the body. Sixty percent of the American diet is ultra-processed food, and for every 10% consumed, the risk of death increases by 14%. These are packaged, processed foods, including lasagna, pizza, ravioli, mac and cheese, and chocolates. Trans fat, including shortening and margarine, is still present in the food supply, so look for the word "hydrogenated." A little sugar is fine, but not in pharmacologic doses. Eliminate refined flours, sugar, high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, and cane juice. A little bit occasionally is fine, but it should not be in your diet on a daily basis.

Seed oils are unhealthy ingredients added to foods because they are heavily subsidized and cheap. They are associated with body-wide inflammation and serious illnesses, and are almost impossible to avoid in processed foods. The government subsidizes these harmful ingredients due to corruption, as the FDA receives 75% of its budget from the regulated food and pharmaceutical industries, who profit from a sick population. Food coloring, like yellow dye, is a petroleum product linked to depression, autoimmune injuries, and ADHD. The same companies use natural coloring in Europe, where almost a thousand chemicals allowed in US food are banned or discouraged. The US subsidizes the worst foods, with 70% of the food stamp program going to processed foods. "Natural flavors" are chemical products, and ingredient labels are untrustworthy due to government corruption and regulatory capture of the USDA and FDA. Non-organic produce like kale and strawberries are contaminated with pesticides, with the Environmental Working Group identifying the "dirty dozen" worst offenders. Unless certified organic, these foods can be harmful.

Our diet has shifted from natural to highly processed, with added sugar, highly processed grains, and seed oils being new additions. Added sugar has increased significantly in the last century, particularly for children. Highly processed grains lack fiber and nutrients, turning into glucose bombs. Seed oils, like car grease, were introduced in 1909 as a cheap alternative to healthy fats. This change has led us to consume inflammatory fats instead of anti-inflammatory ones.

In an average American pantry, I would eliminate white flour, white pasta, and white bread because they lack nutrients and drain energy. Contrary to popular belief, carbohydrates are not essential for life. I had a recent debate with someone who argued that you can't do keto long term without carbs. However, there are essential amino acids and essential fatty acids, but no essential carbohydrates. If you choose to consume carbs, opt for sources that actually fuel your body. We should consider whether our food serves us or steals from us. Sugar, for example, robs our body of blood and energy, so why give it an advantage?

Ultra processed foods should come with a black box warning that they put on certain medications to warn people against the serious side effects. I mean the side effects from ultra processed food are worse than some of the drugs. It should basically say ultra processed maybe food like stuff with a black box warning so people know what's gonna happen if they eat that. That is not the solution. The solution starts with education on the basic foods that really fit this definition of the word food out of the dictionary.

I put three autoimmune diseases into remission, not to mention a bunch of other health conditions that I was dealing with, and I want to share how I did that. A little disclaimer: I am not a doctor and I have no medical background whatsoever. I was a desperate person who refused to believe I had to be on medication for the rest of my life or endure this pain forever. I did research, studied, and took matters into my own hands. After a lot of trial and error, two years later I am a completely different person, and I’m going to share what I did. It’s going to feel too good to be true or too simple, but I’m telling you right now that the way you eat changes everything. The best way I can describe it and simplify it for others is that humans need to be eating food in their truest form. I view it as the way God put it on the earth is the way it should be eaten. The more processed it is, the more terrible it is for our bodies. So I eliminated all processed food, and if it is processed, it is very minimally processed. A perfect example: I will eat potato chips, but I have to pick up the bag, look at the label, and if it says potatoes, sea salt, avocado oil as the three ingredients, I will eat those because it is very simple ingredients. I’m not going to pick up a bag of Lay’s. Another example: I am not going to buy bread at the store. Bread at the store or any flour is empty calories, bleached, all the nutrients taken out. Instead, I buy whole wheat berries, mill them myself, and make bread from that because that is bread in its truest form. I believe we should be able to eat dairy and gluten, but it all needs to be in its truest form, and when it is, our bodies can handle it. The reason people are sick and cannot eat certain foods is because of the way they are processed or modified. I think the biggest issue with humans and why we’re all so sick is because we are eating all of the wrong things and not getting enough nutrients in our diets. If you eat whole grains in their truest form, dairy in its truest form, lean protein, fruit, vegetables in their truest form, meaning no pesticides, no glyphosate, organic fruits and vegetables. I don’t think all fruits and vegetables have to be organic—only some are sprayed with pesticides, but it’s called the dirty dozen; look into that. As long as we are eating things in their truest form and avoiding processed junk, processed sugar, soda, fast food, we are giving our bodies what it needs to thrive and to heal itself. Not saying this fixes everything—there may be conditions that can’t be fixed by this—but people could be surprised by how many issues would go away if we ate the way we were meant to. If you want, I can share an example of a day of eating. Just say the word. I hope you have a great night and remember you do not have to be sick. Doctors are not taught nutrition in medical school—they are taught to prescribe medication. A lot of us think we have to be on medication for the rest of our lives to feel good, when in reality we just need to eat differently.

So if you want to start feeling better, have more mental clarity, and jump start your health, let's start with cutting processed foods.

Many Americans, including children, consume harmful substances in their food, contributing to a decline in life expectancy and rising chronic diseases. Our diet, filled with junk foods containing toxic additives like tartrazine, has gone largely unregulated, leading to serious health issues. Tartrazine, originally derived from coal tar, is linked to tumors, asthma, and developmental delays. It’s found not only in junk food but also in seemingly healthy snacks and everyday items. While some harmful additives have been banned in recent years, many remain on the market, affecting children's health. The focus should be on removing these chemicals to improve overall health and well-being. There is hope for change, and efforts are underway to address this public health crisis.

It's nearly impossible to find non-processed healthy food in a regular grocery store because 75% of the store is processed sugar and seed oils. Fried banana chips, local fried corn treats, roasted nuts, tortillas, yogurts, flavored milks, and energy drinks are full of seed oils and processed sugar. The speaker asks, where are the animal fats? The meat counter is about the only spot in the whole store where you can easily avoid processed sugars and seed oils. This is why so many people are sick and unhealthy.

Speaker 0 raises concern about seed oils. "Seed oils are one of the most unhealthy ingredients that we have in foods."
