Now today we're going to talk about the most dangerous food that you could potentially eat not that you would ever eat this food But if you did I believe it's the most dangerous and I looked at a lot of different factors Which I'm going to discuss but before I get into it I'm very curious what you think is the most dangerous food for your health go ahead and comment in the section down below I'm very curious and as I go through this let's see if you can guess what it is the first point What I want to bring up is that it combines a starch and A fat together under high heats. Okay, so that's the first thing. So anytime you combine a starch or carb with a fat or protein and you heat it up You create this very interesting compound called an advanced glycation and product now. What is that? Well, that's just the compound that really becomes sticky in your body and it just
locks up all sorts of cells and tissues in the eye in the brain in the heart in the kidney and it makes these tissues not able to function correctly now if you think of your blood sugars for example, you would get a test done called a1c Which is this it's glycation of a protein. So basically you're measuring like a three-month exposure to sugar because the sugar in your blood combines with the protein in your blood It's called hemoglobin the protein it destroys it and it makes it unavailable to function So when they measure a1c They're determining how much of your hemoglobin is Stuck to sugar basically and so the higher you have it the more diabetes and complications you have and the less you have it that healthier you are All right, the next ingredient is hydrogenated oils either cotton seed or it could be corn oil
Hydrogenated that means there's trans fats trans fats are very very bad. It makes your cells Like plastic. It hardens the arteries There's reports that it triggers cancer. I mean, it does a lot of damage inside the body And a lot of foods have gone away from hydrogenated oils, but not all types of foods All right, the next thing this food has if you want to call it a food is a chrylamide A chrylamide occurs when you deep fry certain Root vegetables, okay, I could just give you a hint there under high heat you create this neurotoxin called a chrylamide Okay, it's been links to all simers because it affects the neurons are at the next ingredient is sugar and in the US I'm in a great majority of the sugar is beet sugar, which is GMO so we have glyphosate and then we have sugar and so we know what sugar does it creates all sorts of issues I don't need to get into that but The type of sugar is not even sugar cane usually. It's going to be
Either Beat sugar or dextrose or they just might add dextrose. That's a synthetic sugar. Okay, or another type of sugar Which is not even classified as a sugar called multidextrin now what's fascinating about multidextrin Is that because they manipulated this carbohydrate To a polysaccharide which is many sugars They can classify it as a starch and not a sugar So when you look at the label, it's not under sugars It's under carbohydrate. So it makes it seem like it's low sugar, but on the glycemic index Multidextrin it is the highest thing on the glycemic index So when you consume something with multidextrin you're consuming something that's really going to raise your blood sugars in a big way and create High insulin. It's called hyperinslanemia and there's so many complications that occur Exema is unpredictable But you can blur a less with epglyce
A once monthly treatment for moderate to severe eczema After an initial four-month or longer dosing phase about four and ten people taking epglyce Achieved itch relief and glare or almost glare skin at 16 weeks And most of those people maintain skin that's still more glare at one year with monthly dosing Epglyce, LibriKizumap, LBKZ, a 250 milligram per two milliliter injection is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe eczema Also called atopic dermatitis that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin or topicals or who cannot use topical therapies Epglyce can be used with or without topical corticosteroids Don't use if you're allergic to epglyce allergic reactions can occur that can be severe Eye problems can occur tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with epglyce before starting epglyce tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection Ask a doctor about epglyce and visit epglyce.lily.com or call 1-800-lily-RX or 1-800-545-597-9 From high insulin and multi-duction is made from either rice, wheat, or corn. All right, I want to come back to
This chemical called glyphosate It's what they use as an herbicide called roundup ready and it's involved in GMO foods But there are certain foods that they spray a lot of this glyphosate on and I won't tell you exactly what food it is You'll have to gas but they spray that oats lentils soy lentils would be like peanuts beans wheat potato sugarbeats and corn if you research glyphosate you'll see that it's really safe for humans But it's not very safe for micro organisms So when they spray the soil it can kill certain microbes because they also got a patent To classify glyphosate as an anti-biotic because it kills microbes Well, the question is do we have any microbes In or on our body and the answer is yes, we do. Do we depend on them? Yes, we do Is it possible that this glyphosate can alter our microbiome?
Of course, you're going to have a lot of biased answers on that, but I think it can All right, the next ingredient is seed oils, okay? As in corn, canola, cottonseed, soy, peanut, or safflower, or sunflower And they might use different combinations of these oils, but they Use them in very high heats and usually if you buy this food at a restaurant They're frying this food in this oil multiple times if not You know weeks to a month So the more that you use this oil and you deep fry something over and over you create an incredible Oxidation which which means it's very very inflammatory is giving you a lot of advanced glycation and products which is clogging everything up. It's giving you trans fats It's giving you a lot of sugar and high levels of insulin. It's giving you glyphosate which can affect the digestive system in a big way And it usually comes with ketchup Can you guess what it is? It is french fries. Well, the good thing about ketchup is that it's just another vegetable, right?
I think if I'm not mistaken it is classified or accounted as a vegetable But ketchup is basically high fructose corn syrup. There's so much sugar in it High fructose corn syrup is going to go to the liver and that's going to create a fatty liver Okay, it's going to then create insulin resistance Other than that Perfectly healthy and they also add additional sugar as corn syrup So I don't know why they have to add corn syrup on top of high fructose corn syrup I don't understand that but they also add modified corn starch Okay, another thing that can raise your blood sugars. Also modified corn starch Usually is MSG a flavor enhancer to make the food taste better than it really is Which by the way again increases insulin and they use modified corn starch to enhance mouthfeel to give a food Texture that's why they're using it. They're not using it as a sweetener And then of course in ketchup. They had the soy oil which is not only
Estrogenic But it's an oil that has hexane So we have this product a french fry that has advanced glycation in products trans fats tons of not just regular sugar, but sugar that can really jack up your blood sugars We have a product that's loaded with glyphosate that we don't even know all the side effects That that's going to create over time We have a product that's been deep fried in oil that who knows how long that oil has been sitting there So we have this potato starch that acts as a sponge that just soaks up all this Omega-6 fatty acid, which is highly inflammatory And then of course we sprinkle a little salt on it, right? Maybe not sea salt just regular sodium chloride which This episode is brought to you by peloton Break through the busiest time of year with the brand new peloton cross-training tread plus Powered by peloton IQ with real-time guidance and endless ways to move You can personalize your workouts and train with confidence helping you reach your goals in less time Let yourself run lift sculpt push and go explore the new peloton cross-training tread plus at one peloton.com
Usually has aluminum And of course because of the heating process. There's a krillinite So there's a lot of bad foods out there, but I really think based on what I just talked about The french fry with ketchup is at the top of the list But what's really hilarious if you do a search on the food that is the most carcinogenic or the food that is the most unhealthy You know what would be number one on Google search. It'll be red meat in processed meat That's what they're saying is the most unhealthy which is so far from the actual truth Because there are so many other foods that are are incredibly unhealthy for you Now of course no one just has the french fries. They usually have a hamburger with the bun with the additional things And then you have the liquid candy. I'm sorry a soda with that which is more high-purchase corn syrup So instead of depressing you more let's talk about the The healthy foods that you should be concentrating on. I put that up right here. Check it out
