Top 10 Most HARMFUL Foods People Keep EATING

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
