Hello Health Champions.
Sometimes people keep eating the wrong foods because they just don't know any better, but
other times it's because what they are being told is actually wrong, so today I want
to go over the real reason you want to avoid these 10 foods. So in no particular order this
is food number one, canned soup. And here is a brand that shall remain anonymous and what was interesting
was where the source where I got this information they said to avoid soup but the only thing
out of this list that they found objectionable was salt, Now I think there are a few other
things salt is about the only thing that I think is relatively safe on this list but
when they talk about something that's enriched. What does that mean that should be a word
that sounds off an alarm bell because in which means they took away a lot and put back
a little. So it's like I take a dollar from you and I'll give you a penny back and now
I have enriched you that's what it means. So enriched foods are processed and depleted
foods next we have wheat which will go over more later which is one of the most common
allergens there's virtually no one that tolerates wheat properly anymore Mono sodium glutamate
is an excitotoxin it's a neurotoxin that makes your brain think food tastes better than it
does and it kills brain cells and it makes you eat more of certain foods than your body
normally would cornstarch nothing good about it's modified corn starch could mean just
about anything cane sugar flavoring could mean anything yeast extract is often a pseudonym
for monosodium glutamate or other synthetic artificial flavoring agents soy protein isolate
means that they have processed they start off with soy which is not a great food in the
first place but then they process it harshly with solvents and acid to isolate these proteins
so not a great food harshly processed and then we have phosphate we'll cover this in
a couple more places I'll show you but phosphate is in the body works in balance with calcium
in your bone you have 10 parts calcium to 4 Parts phosphorus and anytime that we get
too much phosphorus it's not a bad thing in itself it's obviously a essential but when
we add too much we unbalance the calcium in the body and we actually deplete calcium
from the bones of processed foods cleaning a lot of phosphate are actually promoting
bone loss and osteoporosis so canned soup it's more of an example for you to avoid whenever
something has this list of ingredients then you just know it's not a great food to this
carries over to 100 different items Number two on the list is white bread and there is
little argument anymore that this is not a great food first of all it's hybridized and
that means that genetically altered it they changed it to give higher yields to be more
resistant to weather and they've also changed it so that it has higher levels of a specific
kind of gluten that's extra-sticky that's how they can make this bread so super fluffy what
you can't do with really any other kind of grain and that makes a chewy and fluffy but
most people have a really hard time tolerating that kind of gluten that's why some people
can eat Ancient Grains but they can't eat this modern form of wheat. The wheat grain basically
has three things in it has starch bran and germ and the starch is another form of sugar
brand is the fiber and germ is where the vitamins and minerals that's where the fat soluble
vitamins are but when they process it in order to turn it into this white fluffy thing they
remove the fiber and they remove all the nutrients and this is the main reason why the mainstream
looks down upon this bread that's why they don't recommend it cuz they say it's empty
calories and also to some degree they say that it has a very high glycemic index of
75 give or take a couple which is actually higher than table sugar so it will raise your
blood sugar tremendously fast it's basically just another form of sugar it will start breaking down
into glucose within seconds of being in your mouth and then it goes very quickly to raise
your blood sugar within minutes wheat also contains something called wheat agglutinin
which is a lectin and people can have different degrees of sensitivity to lectins for some
people it's a life-changing problem and for some it's barely noticeable but what this
does is it damages the surface of certain structures and one is the gut lining so by
damaging the inside of the gut lining it promotes gut irritation and leaky gut and food sensitivities
by irritating and damaging the inside of blood vessels called the intima it promotes cardiovascular
disease and inflammation in your in your cardiovascular circulatory system another problem with wheat
is that most of it is produced with something called glyphosate which is a probable carcinogen
and it has been banned in many countries around the world. But then we have something really really interesting that everyone
agrees that this is junk food but for some reason this closely related thing called wheat
bread is promoted as a health food as a staple as necessary even and when we look at the
big long list of characteristics they're virtually identical the only reason is that in whole
grain bread they keep the brand and The Germ which of course I'm in favor of you shouldn't
remove certain beneficial portions and the other difference is that the glycemic index
is 75 vs 74 so in other words virtually exactly the same everything else about these are identical
in the mainstream the only thing they object to is that they remove a little bit of the
nutrients which again is a bad thing but they're missing the big picture that people are reacting
and this is causing inflammation at so many different levels so I would definitely avoid
this but I would also avoid that as well number three on the list is canned tuna and it's
not just canned tuna but any kind of tuna really it's convenient it's filling it's tasty
but it has something called mercury tuna is a large fish it's a predator so when he eats
the smaller creatures of the ocean it concentrates all the toxins in those smaller creatures
and there was a study and as a result of that study during recommended that pregnant women
should avoid tuna all together because Mercury is such a potent neurotoxin that it prevents
the proper formation of the baby's brain and nervous system but I think we also want to
understand that if it has that effect on the pregnant woman and the fetus then then it's
something that we ought to be cautious with so I'm not saying you need to avoid it a hundred
percent but don't treat it as a staple don't eat it all the time I'd say maybe every couple
of weeks or once a month or something then you have a little Tuna number 4 is diet
soda and the biggest questions people have all the time is is it compatible with keto
is it alright does it spike insulin will it break a fast and the answer is that it works
for keto it doesn't spike insulin at least not much in most people it doesn't really
break a fast but those are irrelevant questions because this is not food any more than you
would eat paint chips with lead in them you do not want to touch this stuff Aspartame
is one of the more popular artificial sweeteners and it breaks down into formaldehyde which
is embalming fluid and ethanol that's wood alcohol the stuff that makes you go blind
and the list of complaints about Aspartame is endless but they had a hard time pinning
anything specific on it so it still out there the other popular artificial sweetener is
called sucralose also known as Splenda and when they marketed this and promoted it they
had learned that people didn't like artificial things so they spent a lot of time and energy
promoting sucralose at something natural they said it as natural as carbohydrate and sea
salt because sodium chloride is sea salt and carbon is in every living thing but what they lied
about what they implied that is not true is that these things go together and they don't
and Sucralose they force them together into a covalent bond which is a strong bond and
these two things when you put them together in that kind of bond they become pesticides
and that's how they discovered sucralose is that they were trying to develop a pesticide
when they found that it tasted sweet so things like DDT and Aldrin and Dieldrin and the list
goes on and on this is just a partial list what do these things have in common they are
chloro-carbons or also known as Organo chlorides and they have been proven to be so
toxic that they were banned years or decades ago but they're so pretty voice of in the
environment that even 50-60 years after the ban they are still detectable number five
on the list is potato chips and the most common objection then you hear is that they're high
in salt and high in fat I don't have a problem with that but we'll talk more and therefore
of course the high in calories something curious though is that it basically produces a bottomless
craving there's only so much fat you can eat there's only so much bacon or so much meat
there so much steak but there is no limit to how much potato chips you can eat it just
keeps going and going if the bag is open then it's going to get finished so that sort
of gives you a hint that this act more like a drug then a food and it's not the amount
of fat that's a problem with chips it's the type of fat they fry these things in Seed
oils commercial mass-produced oils that are inflammatory they're highly harshly processed
with chemicals and high heat and they promote insulin resistance because they're inflammatory
and because of something called reactive oxygen species that create oxidative damage when
I first came to the US I was surprised to find that potato chips was promoted as food
I always thought of them as a party snack as something that you had once a month or
or less at a party but here it was everywhere it was every fast food meal had the option
of being served with potato chips so unfortunately I expect the rest of the world is kind of
following suit in that regard that were just allowing more and more processed foods to
be part of actual what we consider food rather than the occasional snack number 6 is fake
maple syrup real maple syrup is a relatively natural product. You basically drill into a tree
and you give it some time and you get maple syrup dripping out now that's still very high
in sugar but it does have some nutrients and if you were to only make a treat when there's
a birthday or a special event then I don't have a huge problem with maple syrup however
when you start eating it with pancakes for breakfast everyday now that's a problem even
more of a problem is when we don't differentiate between different types and we think that
one thing is just as good as the other but most of the commercial stuff is not natural
now you have a process refined empty calorie sugar that is basically all of what this regular
pancake syrup is or even worse they use more high fructose corn syrup or even worse they
start promoting sugar-free syrup because they figure hey that sugar is the problem now let's
make something sugary that doesn't have sugar so now it's a complete disaster of and chemical
concoction so now we have sorbitol cellulose camo color and the list goes on and on and
on so again when you see these kind of things just stay away and let me also point out that
again we have phosphate in phosphoric acid that it's a natural compound in small amount
not a problem but by the time you start adding it in a lot of processed foods now it starts
pulling calcium out of the bone and promoting osteoporosis of keep a lookout for that number
so that he could send it with the Army and so that poor people could afford it and in
the beginning they came up with something that was made from beef tTallow and they mixed
it with water and milk and apparently it was resembling butter and they were real happy
and that was how margarine was made until the Great Depression and World War II era because
now there was a rationing of animal products they couldn't get easy access to the tallow
anymore and they had to find something else so now they started using seed oils and plant oils
problem was the Tallow was solid at room temperature but seed oils are liquid at room temperature
or refrigerated so they had to really start changing the chemical structure of these and
that's where they invented hydrogenation which basically means the pumping a bunch of hydrogen
in at high pressure and high temperature and you saturate that unsaturated oil but in
the process you create something called trans fat and trans fats are so harmful and they
are generally recognized as harmful so now there is a requirement for food labeling
but here's the curious thing that here we have a food label that says trans fat 0 and
yet over here in the fine print they say partially hydrogenated and we know that partial hydrogenation
produces trans fat so how can this be here they say they're in the products and here
they say is 0 grams of trans fat so this is a labeling trick it's called lying that 0
grams per serving means that you could still have 0.4 99999 grams per serving not per,
or per package but per serving so depending on how you define the serving you can still
have a tremendous amount of trans fats in here and still comply to the labeling requirement
and satisfied people to be able to put on the front and say look 0 trans fat so if you
define your serving sizes 5 grams now your product can still have 10% trans fats and
these are toxic and very very low levels if you define a serving as 10 grams now you can
have 5% and as in this case a tablespoon is 12 grams you could still have 4.2% trans fat
and call it 0 grams of trans fat per serving so don't fall for these tricks they are lying
and they'll come up with one clever deceiving named after another such as "I Can't Believe
It's Not Butter" well you'd better believe it not butter. And on a completely unrelated
note if you have a bunch of these cute guys in your yard and you're trying to grow something
then you know that anything you try to grow they refer to as I Can't Believe It's Not
lettuce number eight energy drinks people drink these because it feels like they give
you energy but that's a fallacy they do not give you energy they borrow energy so you're
borrowing energy from someplace so that you could have it temporarily but what these drinks
actually do is they are stimulants and stimulants are things like caffeine in coffee it perks
you up so you think that you have more energy which you do temporarily but the more often
you do that the more you're going to kind of have to pay it back later they also contain
guarana which is just another name for caffeine guarana is another plants besides the Coffee
Bean that contains caffeine. They also throw in some synthetic B vitamins which in large
doses act as a stimulants and they throw in a bunch of sugar or worse and the sugar can
give you the impression you raise your blood sugar you get a little spike and you feel a little
perky for a short time or worse is they call them sugar free and they just jack up the
caffeine and they give you some artificial sweeteners But realize that while these seem
to give you some energy they actually borrow energy it's like a credit card the more you
use it the more you have to pay back later it gives you the impression of having a resource
in the short-term but it cost you way more long-term number 9 is fruit juice and while
fruit juice is made from fruit which potentially has some benefit in fruit concentrate the
nutrients that could theoretically be of benefit that there's some nutrients now you concentrate
the nutrients you can get more of them at once but the problem is you also concentrate
the sugar so while you're getting a little more of something you might want you're getting
a lot more of something you don't want and then the bigger problem is that everything
that you buy in the store is going to be pasteurized by law and therefore they're going to kill
off every form of enzyme everything that's been alive and virtually destroy all the nutrients
in there so the store-bought stuff that they called juice is really just sugar water it
is right on par with soft drinks you can argue it's a tiny little bit better cuz there's
still some nutrients and yes that's true but think of it basically as a soft drink number
10 on the list is deli meat or luncheon meats or cold cups and ham sausage prosciutto salami
the very popular they could be made from pork or beef or chicken or turkey and what's the
greatest objection that is being brought forward it's that they're high in salt and this is
not why you want to worry about these next objection often brought up is that there's
an association to cancer they found a people eat a lot of these have high rates of cancer
but we want to understand that it's a difference between the raw material and the end product
we want to start asking how was it raised and even more so much more important what
was added cuz you can have a good raw material but if you add a bunch of chemicals and junk
now it's poison so some of these things there are added are sodium nitrite it's a preservative
that enhances and maintains the red color but there's also a lot of products
that are perfectly fine without this they also add sugar they add various chemicals
preservatives BHT butylated hydroxytoluene and many other things with equally strange
names they add monosodium glutamate that we talked about it's an excitotoxin it makes
things taste better makes your brain think they taste better than they do and therefore
you eat more than you normally would and they put things like cornstarch in here and why
not put some more artificial color some aspartame and some sucralose in there as well because
people are hooked on the sweet taste fortunately there are a lot of Alternatives today in the
deli counter is specially if you find a good quality the word that that caters to the health
oriented people that you can get all of these without any of these chemicals or artificial
ingredients and then it is a perfectly fine food if you enjoy this video you'll love that
