Remember that your microbiome are the different bacterias that reside and inhabit your gut, and the type of bacteria that you have in your gut is actually really important. There are specific bacteria that can lead to more inflammation and metabolic diseases like type two diabetes, like high blood pressure, high blood sugar, all of these things. And there are also different types of gut bacteria that lend itself to low levels of inflammation and good health. So ultimately, we understand that we can't metabolize these sugar substitutes. In general, they just pass through in our feces and in our urine, but they do impact the gut microbiome. And there was a mouse study looking at this, and it showed that the microbiome shift to favor species associated with metabolic and inflammatory diseases when we drink these sugar substitutes and eat a significant amount of these sugar substitute.

A Copenhagen study with 100 normal individuals divided into four groups for six months: one liter of sugared soda per day, one liter of diet soda per day, one liter of milk per day, and one liter of water per day. The outcomes: 'The one liter of soda per day in six months gained 10 kilos.' 'No surprise.' 'The one liter of water per day lost two kilos.' 'One liter of milk per day, no change.' And finally, the key, the kicker to the whole thing, diet soda. 'The one liter of diet soda. What would you predict their weight would do? They gained two kilos.' 'Why did they gain two kilos if they were consuming a liter of diet soda, which are zero calories? The answer is because they still generated an insulin response.'

Alcohol kills bugs, which is why it's used as a skin disinfectant and was used to make hand sanitizer during the pandemic. However, alcohol also damages the gut microbiome, which contains 100 trillion bugs that produce neurotransmitters and detoxify food. The speaker likens alcohol to antibiotics or pesticides in food, suggesting less or none is better. The American Cancer Society stated that any alcohol consumption increases the risk of seven different kinds of cancer, and cancer is bad for the brain.

"As a cardiologist, I do not recommend using stevia as a sweetener." "It interferes with your gut microbiome." "the journal molecules twenty nineteen showed that in the animal model that there was issues regarding gut microbiome disruption." "So when you interfere with the gut microbiome, now you develop all the issues from that because the gut microbiome is responsible for epithelial integrity of the intestinal barrier." "So you do not want to disrupt your gut microbiome with something like stevia." "So avoid stevia if you want to use a sweetener which I love." "raw honey is a fantastic option." "Eating fruit certainly is very good as a whole food." "Just use raw honey." "A much better option."

Probiotic foods. I just mentioned this. The friendly flora greatly supports the liver. If you were exposed to an antibiotic or something to destroy your good flora, the liver suffers. If you're exposed to something like aspartame or some other synthetic artificial sweetener, that alters the gut microbiome, which then raises liver enzymes and puts you at risk for a fatty liver.

Sugar has various negative effects on our bodies. In babies, it can lead to ADHD, while in adults, it can cause dementia and Alzheimer's. Other consequences include glaucoma in the eyes, cavities in the teeth, aging of the skin, and insomnia. Excess sugar can result in diabetes and even cancer. The sugar industry on Wall Street is worth billions of dollars. Surprisingly, addiction to sugar is eight times more powerful than cocaine. It's important to recognize sugar as the real enemy.

Your gut controlled digestion, mood, and immunity, so don't trash it. Artificial sweeteners like aspartame mess with your gut bacteria. Seed oils, total inflammation balm. Too much alcohol, it wipes out your gut lining. In ultra processed carbs, they feed the bad bugs. Nature first, pills last.

There are 262 names for sugar, which allows the food industry to hide it in plain sight on packaging. The problem lies with fructose, which, unlike glucose, is very sweet and addictive, stimulating the brain's reward center similarly to cocaine or alcohol. Fructose and alcohol are metabolized the same way and both can lead to Alzheimer's disease. Fructose is half of sucrose, dietary sugar, high fructose corn syrup, maple syrup, honey, and agave. Fructose inhibits mitochondrial function, ATP generation, and energy metabolism, making you sick. Unlike glucose, fructose is not measured by continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), masking its impact despite being seven times worse. No biochemical reaction requires dietary fructose. While up to 25 grams of sugar (12 grams of fructose) may be tolerated, this limit is easily exceeded by common foods. Therefore, limit dessert consumption to occasional treats.

Cancer loves sugar and an acidic environment. A researcher discovered that cancer cells consume 15 times more glucose than other cells. She realized that she had been unknowingly feeding her cancer by consuming large amounts of sugar. Cancer's growth is influenced by genetics and lifestyle choices, with lifestyle being the trigger. Refined sugar is the most acidic substance that can be consumed, and it is extracted from sugarcane, which is alkalizing. A doctor wrote a book called "Pure, White and Deadly" on the dangers of sugar, suggesting that it should be banned. The paradox of something so sweet being harmful is highlighted.

Many popular sodas and snacks in America are sweetened with high fructose corn syrup, while the same products in the UK often use real sugar. These products include Coca-Cola, fruit snacks, and ketchup. High fructose corn syrup is used because it is cheaper and sweeter than cane sugar, allowing companies to use less of it. It is also highly addictive, which encourages repeat purchases. High fructose corn syrup and corn syrup affect the brain similarly to drugs or opioids. The speaker advises consumers to read ingredients and avoid high fructose corn syrup.

Sucralose, an artificial sweetener, may cause problems. Studies suggest that consuming artificial sweeteners like sucralose, aspartame, or ACE k with carbohydrates can interfere with normal insulin signaling. The body may become confused at a neurological and metabolic level when consuming something perceived as sweet without associated calories, as historically, sweet foods have always contained calories. Artificial sweeteners may be neurometabolically confusing and potentially change the gut flora negatively. The long-term effects on humans are unknown.

The system is designed to infer that tasty sugary things bring in calories. Reality is that artificial sweeteners are really a hack because they give you that very similar, almost the same sweet sensation, especially if something like diet soda tastes almost exactly like regular soda, but it gives you that without any of the calories. So it actually is a hack in the technical sense. A lot of other, you know, diet hacks are just strategies like hack your metabolism with one meal a day. Like, body wasn't supposed to eat five meals and then one meal hacks it. It's just another way of eating. This really is a hack and what does it get us? In study after study, people only switching from regular soda to diet soda lose mounds of weight

Now you may just end up quitting sugar after watching this video. I'm just warning you. Don't get mad at me. I'm just the messenger. There are 73 meta analysis that make up 8,600 different studies on sugar. And the conclusions are: A high amount of added sugar is significantly associated with 45 negative health effects ranging from diabetes to asthma, depression, stroke, heart attack, gout, hypertension, dementia, cancer, and early death.

ADHD, dementia, Alzheimer's, glaucoma, cavities, aging, insomnia, diabetes, cancer. Sugar affects various parts of our body, causing these conditions. It even fuels a billion-dollar industry on Wall Street. Surprisingly, addiction to sugar is eight times more potent than cocaine. It's important to recognize sugar as the true adversary.

Sugar in a baby's brain is called ADHD. Sugar in an adult's brain is called dementia and Alzheimer's. Sugar in your eyes is called glaucoma. Sugar in your teeth is called cavities. Sugar on your skin is called aging. Sugar in your sleep is called insomnia. Sugar in your blood is called diabetes. Excess sugar in your body is called cancer. Sugar and alcohol kill good bacteria in your gut. So now that you know this, how do you detox from processed sugar? Probiotics with lactobacillus help metabolize sugar and increase the good bacteria in your gut. L glutamine helps reduce sugar cravings and obviously cutting back on processed and packaged snacks and foods.

Water is the best. Drink it. And, of course, in, North America, you go to the typical, fast food restaurant or you go to a convenience store and they got, like, 90 different things you could drink. And, only only they have a lot of sugar, but a lot of them now have a lot of caffeine. And a lot of Americans in the soda pop, the tea, the coffee, industrial strength coffee, folks are sort of hyper stimulated. Doctor. Now we should be careful of pushing some things too far because too much is bad and too little is bad. For example, water is good, but you can get so much it drops your blood sodium level and that swells the brain up. It can kill you. It can kill you because your brain is swollen.

These cans of fizzy drink all have some kind of sugar substitute. Are those sugar substitutes harmless? No. A paper just came out like three days ago in Annals of Neurology basically showing that non-nutritive sweetener consumption, so diet sweetener consumption, correlates with dementia. And we think we know why. Why? Reactive oxygen species. So oxygen radicals. Little chemicals that are given off from various substances that cause changes in energy metabolism in cells and also cause damage in cells. ROSs, reactive oxygen species. The famous ones are aspartame and sucralose. Now, do monk fruit extract, do stevia, does allulose also cause reactive oxygen species? I very specifically looked for data on those, could not find it.

- Diet soda: The artificial sweeteners are just as bad as the regular sweeteners, if not worse, because they affect the microbiome. - Commercial fruit punch: has virtually no juice—maybe 5%—most of it is high fructose corn syrup; you're basically drinking liquid candy with chemicals and food coloring. - Sweetened tea: doesn't come with actual sugar; it comes with high fructose corn syrup; we're drinking a lot of fructose, stressing the liver from chemicals and flavorings. - Cocktails with sugar: alcohol and sugar combined—a deadly combination. - Energy drinks: fatigue drink; they spike your blood sugar, then crash, needing another energy drink. - Flavored coffee: caffeine, sugar, artificial chemicals, flavoring, preservatives, about 50 grams of sugar per container; instead, unsweetened tea, organic coffee, or carbonated water with stevia and natural flavoring.

Jim Turner, an attorney in Washington, D.C., has been working to stop the use of aspartame NutraSweet since 1970. He claims that this product is dangerous, as it consists of three neurotoxins that can cause health problems. Turner explains that despite evidence showing its potential to cause cancer, NutraSweet was allowed on the market due to political influence. In 1981, the FDA overruled a public board of inquiry and scientists who deemed the product unsafe. Turner highlights a significant increase in glioblastomas, a cancerous brain tumor, in the human population after NutraSweet's introduction. He advises individuals to research the topic thoroughly and consider discontinuing its use if experiencing symptoms.

Aspartame has been studied extensively, with industry-sponsored studies reporting no harm, while independent studies found problems. The maker allegedly pays scientists to produce ghostwritten articles claiming aspartame's safety, which are then used to argue its safety based on the volume of studies. Carefully conducted studies purportedly show aspartame is a carcinogen that becomes more carcinogenic when combined with nitrites. Original studies for NutraSweet's approval allegedly revealed a six-fold increase in brain tumors, as well as increased lung tumors, breast tumors and thyroid cancers. It's claimed that tumors were removed from experimental animals and falsely recorded as normal. The head of the approval committee allegedly went to work for a company promoting aspartame shortly after approval.

Artificial sweeteners may negatively impact gut health by harming beneficial bacteria. This disruption can affect mood and brain function, which are linked to the gut microbiome. Natural sweeteners such as honey and maple syrup are suggested as alternatives, to be used in moderation. Protecting gut health is presented as a way to protect brain health.

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.
