The speaker argues against the conventional view on raw eggs and salmonella, claiming that salmonella is a beneficial bacteria and that all bacteria are beneficial to the body. They state that fear around eating raw eggs is a trick to get people to cook them, and they claim to have eaten hundreds and now thousands of raw eggs while remaining healthy. The speaker suggests that warnings about raw eggs are misinformation and asserts that people are misled into believing they are allergic to eggs, when in fact they are allergic to what the animals are fed. For obtaining the best eggs, the speaker recommends Amos Miller as one option, Nourish Farms as another, or finding a local farmer who does not feed chickens corn or soy. They emphasize that feeding chickens corn or soy leads to people feeling allergic to eggs, arguing that the allergy is a result of the feed rather than the eggs themselves. The speaker contends that the public is misled into thinking people are allergic to eggs. Addressing dogs, the speaker notes that raw foods and eggs can help a dog with hip pain, and that dogs (and cats) eat raw, implying that there are no animals meant to eat kibble and cooked foods. They conclude by stating that it makes absolutely no sense when one thinks about it, because animals do not eat like that.

Ractopamine, a banned drug in 160 countries, is legal in the USA and fed to over 80% of pigs, causing adverse effects like sickness and death. Pigs can become too fat to stand, a condition called downers. While China, Russia, and the EU ban ractopamine, it's common in American food. The speaker writes about healthy living and food system corruption, criticizing the FDA for allowing toxins in food and having ties to big agriculture companies like Monsanto.

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. 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, 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.

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."

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.

Beef, pork, etcetera, that use Skittles to fatten the cattle What? Before they go to slaughter. Yes. You can actually Google this, any of your watchers or listeners. There was a truck carrying, an overwhelming amount of Skittles that actually got into an accident. So the Skittles were all over the highway. And when they asked where he was taking this voluminous amount of Skittles, identified it was going to a feedlot. And so understanding that not just grains, but also candy, things that are discarded by the processed food industry are designed to fatten the exact animals that we are purchasing in many instances in our grocery stores that we are then consuming. We have diseased metabolically unhealthy animals which are being slaughtered, which we then go on to eat and consume. And I'm the first person to say that the quality of the food we eat matters.

Organic oats are recommended due to glyphosate use in US crops. Glyphosate is described as a class one carcinogen linked to kidney problems, brain disorders, and autism. The speaker states that glyphosate is sprayed on a lot of things and that the food supply has been ruined by harsh pesticides like glyphosate.

United States food additives have been banned across Europe. Professor Eric Milstone claims there is evidence that these additives may be toxic to human consumers and may initiate or promote the development of tumors. Many other scientists are claiming that there is overwhelming evidence that many processed food items in The United States Of America are causing all kinds of sicknesses across the country every single year. The question is, do you trust these processed foods?

Trisodium phosphate (TSP) is a heavy duty cleaner used for paint removal, but it's also found in many cereals. Although the FDA considers small amounts of TSP safe, the EPA lists it as a hazardous substance, and the CDC advises avoiding contact. Studies have shown that chronic high levels of phosphate ingestion can lead to heart problems, kidney problems, and cancer. Despite this, companies like General Mills claim to prioritize product quality and environmental protection. However, they include harmful ingredients like glyphosate, toxic food coloring, and TSP in their products. It's important to share this information with others who may be unaware.

Speaker 0: Video that I sent you about that dude breaking down exactly what's in flour and why it fucks us up. Do you remember that video? You'll find it. It's the dude with the hat on who's the health expert. He's a young guy, and he does an amazing job of breaking down the difference between our flour and their flour. And you see, you get so upset. You're like, this is so crazy. You guys let them do this to us. Like, yeah, the whole brand in other countries is illegal here. How's that possible? Crazy, man. You would think Why are we putting up with this shit? Why? Why? Yeah. Speaker 1: It's because it's slow poison. Speaker 0: Yeah. It's not like alcohol is like, woah. You you feel it the next day. Like, oh my god. Speaker 1: Pizza is just a slow poison. A slow poison with a poison dough. It weighs you down. But it would this is the case. You down. Speaker 2: Explain to me why I can eat bread in Spain and in I can eat Greece, Italy. No problem. What? I was gluten free in fifteen years. I've been gluten free in Carnival, America. Can't eat it. Speaker 3: That's because in America, what we call bread can't even be considered food in parts of Europe. See here in America, it's not so much the gluten as what we've done to the grain. About two hundred years ago, we started stripping the bran and germ or the fiber and nutrients to make flour shelf stable, also nutritionally dead. Because the nutrients were gone, we enriched it with folic acid, which a large majority of the population can't even metabolize, therefore many people experience fatigue, anxiety, hyperactivity, and inflammation. But then the bread wasn't white, so they bleached it with chlorine gas, and the bread didn't rise enough, so they added a carcinogen called potassium bromate, which has been in several countries like Europe, The UK, and even China. Then we wanted to ramp up production, so we started using glyphosate to dry out the wheat before harvest, causing endocrine disruption and damaging your gut. So now you're bloated, brain fogged, tired, and blamed gluten, but gluten is just the scapegoat. The real issue is ultra processed, chemically altered, bleached, bromated, fake vitamin filled wheat soaked in glyphosate. Speaker 0: This Speaker 3: isn't bread. This is

American bread contains additives like potassium bromate and azodicarbonamide to make it fluffy and sweet. These chemicals are also found in yoga mats, pesticides, and explosives. These chemicals can cause cancer. The European Union, the UK, and China have banned these additives from food production. The FDA says these additives are generally recognized as safe to eat.

Discussion on fast-food ingredients centers on "high fructose corn syrup." "Corn syrup is very unique, and it affects the body very differently than other types of sugar." It "creates a lot of inflammation" and "doesn't have a satisfying effect," so you can drink a tremendous amount without feeling full. "The effects in the liver are similar to drinking alcohol as far as the toxicity levels go," and it's "absorbed much quicker than other sugars as well." You also have "potatoes fried in the seed oil, which is very, very dangerous." The "famous chicken nugget" raises questions: "What's in a chicken nugget? It's a mystery. Is there any chicken? Maybe." There's "a lot of corn flour. There's cornstarch. And then the chicken is fed corn." "Byproducts from corn" and "dextrose, corn syrup" are mentioned. In a "32 ounce" soda, "74 grams of sugar... 18.5 teaspoons."

Why do 85% of the world's countries ban US pork? The answer might shock you. Ractopamine. It's a mouthful, and it's in your bacon. This feed additive helps pigs bulk up faster, but it's also linked to serious health issues for both animals and humans. The FDA said it's safe back in '99, but they are mainly relied on studies from guess who? The drugmaker, Elanco. China, Russia, and the EU aren't buying it, literally. Dear, they've banned US pork because of ractopamine. One in five US pork products tested positive for ractopamine residues. The drug can cause heart problems and even poisoning in humans, not to mention the poor pigs. And here's the kicker. Ractopamine can make the meat taste worse, though. Next time you reach for that pork chop, think twice, man. Your health and taste buds will thank you. Taste.

Texas just passed a law that changed the game for processed food. Starting in 2027, any food products sold in Texas that contains one of 44 banned or restricted ingredients, additives, will have to carry this label. "Warning. This product contains an ingredient not recommended for human consumption by authorities in The EU, UK, Canada, or Australia." Included in those 44 ingredients is bleached flour found in a lot of processed foods. And titanium dioxide's another ingredient on the list added as a colorant to make things brighter and whiter. Classified as possibly carcinogenic in humans, it's found in over 11,000 food products, a lot of candy and stuff for kids, pretty much every processed food that's white with no warning, no disclosure, nothing.

Our food is tainted by dangerous chemicals, making us sick. In 2011, Courtney Swan was diagnosed with a gluten intolerance, a common sensitivity among her generation. 85% of our food starts from patented seeds sold by chemical corporations, including companies responsible for Agent Orange. Since 1974, crops have been sprayed with glyphosate, and GMOs were introduced in the 90s. Companies like Bayer, formerly IG Farben, market glyphosate-based products like Roundup, claiming they're harmless. GMO crops resist glyphosate, leaving food covered in toxic residue that doesn't wash off. Glyphosate is sprayed on wheat, oats, chickpeas, almonds, and potatoes. Organic food is more expensive but avoids GMOs and glyphosate. The Environmental Working Group found glyphosate in 80-90% of wheat-based products, including Cheerios and Nature Valley bars. Glyphosate is produced and distributed from China. Bayer owns patents for soybeans, corn, canola, and sugar beets and is the largest distributor of GMO corn and soybean seeds. 80% of GMOs are engineered to withstand glyphosate, with 280 million pounds sprayed annually. Glyphosate is linked to neurological damage, endocrine disruption, reproductive harm, and fetal development issues and is classified as a carcinogen. It's found in breast milk, placentas, organs, sperm, rain, and drinking water. While GMO labeling exists, glyphosate isn't labeled. Doctor Don Huber warns glyphosate will make DDT look harmless. The US government subsidizes pesticide-sprayed crops, which are processed into unhealthy ingredients. Bayer protects its profits, funding educational programs and lobbying. Chronic illnesses are rising, and 77% of young Americans are ineligible for military service.

American bread contains additives like potassium bromate and azodicarbonamide to make it fluffy and sweet. These chemicals are also found in yoga mats, pesticides, and explosives. It is claimed these chemicals can cause cancer. The European Union, the UK, and China have banned these additives from food production. The FDA in America considers these additives as generally recognized as safe to eat.

Speaker 0 explains that there is a carbohydrate that is more dangerous than sugar. While people often consider sugar to be the worst, this other carbohydrate is worse in certain ways. The speaker examines the glycemic index to compare how different carbohydrates affect blood sugar. According to the speaker, table sugar has a glycemic index of about 65, which is not extremely high. Glucose, by contrast, has a glycemic index of 100. The carbohydrate in question sits between 116 and 136 on the glycemic index, meaning it is not classified as a sugar, but it behaves like a sugar in terms of its impact on blood sugar levels. The speaker emphasizes that this carb can cause sharp and rapid spikes in blood glucose. The carbohydrate identified is maltodextrin. The speaker notes that maltodextrin appears in other forms as well, such as modified food starch, modified corn starch, and in many foods. It is present in a wide range of products and is included in many sugar-free items that are labeled as no sugar, even though maltodextrin may be contributing to sweetness and blood sugar effects. The speaker asserts that in their view, maltodextrin functions as a sugar despite not being labeled as such. The takeaway highlighted is to start reading labels and to avoid maltodextrin. The speaker urges awareness of maltodextrin's presence in foods and suggests steering clear of it due to its high glycemic index and potential to spike blood sugar levels.

"Ground whole grain corn, like corn on the cob." "It's not sweet corn." "It's a very specific type of corn called dent corn or field corn, which is super starchy, and they feed it to cattle, but they also put it in dog food." "Now the first thing you need to know is the first ingredient is probably the majority of those ingredients." "But it's not organic corn." "It's gonna be GMO corn, genetically modified corn, which means it's gonna have traces of glyphosate, which also has been linked to cancer." "That's an herbicide, and that corn could be sitting somewhere for over a year, accumulating a very deadly aflatoxin, which has been known to cause cancer in the liver, in different parts of a dog's body."

This oatmeal contains glyphosate, a weed killer associated with cancer. Monsanto, the producer of glyphosate, settled over 100,000 lawsuits totaling $11 billion for cancer connections. Glyphosate is also linked to infertility, autoimmunity, and potential gut damage. Avoid consuming significant amounts of pesticides like glyphosate found in Quaker oatmeal. Overall, oatmeal is not recommended in the diet.

There's this carb that is way more dangerous than sugar. We take a look at the glycemic index. Where is sugar? Well, table sugar is about 65, not terribly high. Where's glucose? 100. Where is this carbohydrate? Between one hundred and sixteen and one hundred and thirty six on the glycemic index. So in other words, it's a carb that's not classified as a sugar, but acts like a sugar in a much more deadly way as far as what it can do to your blood sugars. It just will really spike it. And this carb is called maltodextrin. It's in other forms too. It's in modified food starch. It's in modified corn starch. I mean, and it's in many foods. They put it in a lot of sugar free products as no sugar, even though it really, to me, it is a sugar. So start reading the labels and avoid maltodextrin.

Soybean meal. 'First of all, a dog is never meant to consume soybeans.' The speaker argues it's not just fermented soybeans from a Japanese restaurant, but 'a highly processed GMO, has been through hexane, which is a solvent, a chemical that's in gasoline, they have to use that to extract the protein,' producing 'a highly refined, very incomplete protein.' They warn that 'certain phytonutrients in soy can affect the thyroid, it can affect testosterone,' and that 'if your dog is pregnant that can affect the offspring.' These lines collectively emphasize concerns about processing, GMO status, hexane extraction, incomplete protein, and phytonutrients effects on thyroid and testosterone, with potential effects on offspring when pregnancy occurs.

- And our bread is so fucked. - A video asks what's wrong with American bread; "This World War three, but if it's not World War three, probably stay away from bread." - "American bread. You mean eat sourdough bread. Sourdough bread is fucking great for you." - "'two hundred years ago, we started stripping the bran and germ or the fiber and nutrients to make flour shelf stable, also nutritionally dead.'" - "'enriched it with folic acid which a large majority of the population can't even metabolize.'" - "'the bread didn't rise enough, so they added a carcinogen called potassium bromate.'" - "they bleached it with chlorine gas." - "'Glyphosate to dry out the weed before harvest, causing endocrine disruption and damaging your gut.'" - "'ultra processed chemically altered bleached, bromated, fake vitamin filled wheat soaked in glyphosate. This isn't bread.'" - Dennis Ekelberger; Danny Denny, d n n y underscore d u r e on Twitter and Instagram.

Toxins, particularly mold, can contribute to weight gain. They can be found in various foods, including coffee, peanuts, and corn. The mold that used to grow on corn now grows in the soil due to glyphosate. Interestingly, corn contains a mold toxin bound to sugar, making it difficult to detect. Industrial cows are given a compound called Ziranol, which concentrates mold toxins, to help them gain weight on fewer calories. If humans consume meat treated with these estrogenic compounds, they too could potentially gain weight on fewer calories. Understanding where these toxins hide is crucial in avoiding them.

Doctor Holland and Fasano at Harvard published a study that shows when humans eat wheat, every human that eats wheat, not just the celiacs, but every human that eats wheat gets tears in the inside lining of the gut every time they're going to disease. There’s a barrier between your bloodstream and your intestines called your gut lining, and your gut lining has microscopic holes in it. Over time, if somebody has intestinal inflammation, large holes open up in your gut lining. Some cells turn over very quickly; the inside lining of the gut has a new lining every three to seven days. So you had toast for breakfast, it heals; you have a sandwich for lunch, it heals; pasta for dinner, it heals; croutons on your salad, it heals; a cookie, but it heals day after week, after month, after year, after year, after year, until one day you don’t heal anymore. When you don’t heal, that’s pathogenic intestinal permeability, and these tears can occur and stay torn when you lose tolerance. You don’t heal anymore, whether you’re two years old, 22, or 72, it just depends on when you cross that threshold as to when this happens, but it happens. What can happen now is undigested food particles such as gluten, casein, toxins, bad bacteria, candida can leak from the intestines into the bloodstream. Your body says those shouldn’t be here. It starts this immune response, and if that isn’t corrected over time, it can start autoimmune disease, and systemic inflammation can affect the joints causing rheumatoid arthritis; it can affect the thyroid causing Hashimoto’s thyroiditis; it can affect the colon causing things like Crohn’s disease or the muscles causing fibromyalgia. So really all autoimmune disease is first caused by leaky gut. It starts in the gut lining. The biggest factors causing this gut reaction are: certain foods, refined grain products; sugar is a big one because sugar feeds candida and yeast in your body, which causes this issue. Genetically modified organisms are wired with pesticides and viruses, which kill off beneficial microbes in the gut, causing leaky gut and autoimmune disease. Also looking at hydrogenated oils; artificial sweeteners are a big one—all of these things contribute to leaky gut. So if you have any inflammatory condition or really any chronic condition, gluten should be at the top of your list in thinking about why, whether it’s an autoimmune disease, digestive disorders, depression, neurologic issues; many of these things are driven through gluten, and by doing an elimination diet you can often see the impact. We’ve seen athletes like Djokovic, who’s actually selling his career by removing inflammatory foods like gluten and dairy and sugar, and seeing him go from near the bottom of the pile of professional tennis players to number one and unbeatable.
