This is an eye opening video and I recommend that you all watch it if you can. You learn a lot in just the first 15 minutes. Have your kids watch it. What you eat really does matter. Thank God President Trump won the election. Bobby Kennedy, Jr. can really make a difference at HHS.

Per AI

Processed foods, especially ultra-processed foods, can have significant negative health impacts:

  1. Increased risk of chronic diseases: Consumption of ultra-processed foods is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.
  2. Higher mortality rate: Studies have shown that higher consumption of ultra-processed foods is linked to increased all-cause mortality. One study found a 62% increased risk of death from any cause for those consuming more than 4 servings per day compared to those consuming less than 2 servings.
  3. Poor nutritional value: Ultra-processed foods are often high in calories, added sugars, sodium, and unhealthy fats, while being low in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
  4. Weight gain: These foods are typically calorie-dense and easy to overconsume, leading to weight gain and obesity.
  5. Increased cancer risk: A five-year study found that every 10% increase in ultra-processed food consumption was associated with a 12% higher risk of cancer.
  6. Addictive properties: Ultra-processed foods are often designed to stimulate the brain's "feel-good" dopamine center, making them potentially addictive.
  7. Artificial ingredients: Many ultra-processed foods contain numerous artificial additives, most of which have not been extensively tested for long-term health effects.
  8. Digestive impact: These foods are quicker to digest, causing the body to burn fewer calories during digestion compared to whole food.

To reduce processed food intake, focus on whole, minimally processed foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. When buying packaged foods, read labels carefully and choose options with fewer additives and lower amounts of added sugars, sodium, and unhealthy fats.

the American public has been dicked with, by the Soviets, by the Chinese, and by the CIA since the ‘50’s.

It’s no secret about our food and our water.

It’s our resilience that baffles and ticks them off.

I’ve watched Dr. Hyman over the years and mostly find him to be on target. But the vax and yearly flu shots are where he loses me.

I follow the way I grew up. Junk food was a treat. We had cake on birthdays, some candy on Halloween and Christmas- and hurricanes! That’s how I do it still. I drink about 4 cokes a year and really enjoy them. Same with cookies and cake or chips. Somehow thinking of them as treats has made it easy. I eat fresh, some frozen veggies. I don’t eat prepared stuff- I cook.

I Confess.
I’m Guilty.
Repeat after me . . .

I’m guilty of eating too much mac and cheese, the kind with the powdered “cheese”.

So glad this fellow didn't go into gynecology. "Dr. Hyman, at your cervix!"

I don't see the big deal. Way back we snacked on lead paint chips with a light dusting of asbestos while standing too close to the poorly insulated microwave ovens and nothing bad came of that.

Not counting the high cancer rates, obesity, drug addictions and "progressive" progeny who can't determine what sex they are but who are sure socialism is the answer to everything.

Everything You’re Eating Is Toxic.

Fear not here in Los Angeles California you can wash it down with filtered sewer water.
