It probably won’t shock you to hear that Big Pharma is cozying up with our food industry. But the depth of this unholy alliance might just knock your socks off. Fox News host Jesse Watters is shining a spotlight on this issue by featuring a former Coca-Cola employee who’s spilling the beans on exactly how Big Pharma and Big Food manipulate the system to benefit themselves—and, as usual, leave the rest of us in the lurch.
Calley Means blows the lid off how Big Food and Big Pharma have manipulated our health for profit. Mr. Means details how these industries have paid off medical groups to silence the dangerous truth about our food, directly contributing to a national health crisis where the majority of Americans suffer from totally preventable diseases.
In other words, the people who are supposed to keep us nourished and safe are killing us.
Coca Cola Insider Speaks Out About Company Secrets
Jesse Waters “Our next guest used to work for the Coca-Cola Company, and he says he saw firsthand how the food and pharma industries rigged the system to their advantage”
Calley Means “The most important issue in the world, which is that we’re getting sicker, fatter, more depressed, more infertile because of food.
Eight of the ten leading causes of Americans today are directly tied to food, reversible by food. But we really are gaslighted from that fact. It’s because of a rig system.
Three particular levels I saw is that food companies directly pay medical groups.
Coke has funneled millions of dollars, and the American Academy of Diabetes, the American Academy of Pediatrics, who said the American Nutrition Association, they’ve accepted millions of dollars of coke.
What does that buy?

Is olive oil a seed oil?
They even add sugar to pre-made tuna salad in the supermarket...a lot of it.
A good reason to visit local farms stands.
I make my own preserves, which are mostly fruit by far, and just enough sugar to cut the tartness.
The stuff in the stores has the fruit much further down on the list.
It occurred to me then that the reason there is so much salt and sugar in goods is because there’s so little real ingredients and it tastes terrible. The salt and sugar makes it more palatable, but is just disguising the fact that there’s no quality and it’s destroying your health in the meantime.
Basically, do opposite of what the government recommends.
I can't think of a thing they tell us or advise us to do that's good for us. They're hell bent on destroying us and this country.
Over the past few years, I’ve felt much better by cutting out soda and other sources of high-fructose corn syrup.
Exactly. That was a no brainer.
As soon as we started hearing that obesity was a very major comorbidity, my first thought was *Why don’t they advise people to lose weight?*
Probably because they want the body count. There are too many unwashed, according the the elitist leftists.
No. Cold-pressed oils like olive, avocado, and coconut oil are okay. It's the heated, hexane-extracted oils like corn, soy, and canola that are toxic.
Also, animal fats (beef tallow, lard, butter) are better sources of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, K2 than plants. How much better depends on what the animal has been eating.
Sugar is addictive. They put it and other flavor enhancing ingredients in fast foot to make you crave more.
We have been led to believe the plant seed oils are the best. I like safflower oil because of it high smoke temp. Also, it has a very neutral taste. Coconut oil is said to be the worst. The Mayo Clinic on coconut oil:
“Myth: Coconut oil is a heart-healthy cooking alternative.
The argument: Coconut oil is extremely high in saturated fat — about 50 percent more than butter, even.
But despite that saturated fat is known to raise cholesterol levels, linked with heart disease risk, proponents believe that some saturated fats in coconut oil (called medium-chain triglycerides) are less harmful and may actually raise levels of beneficial HDL cholesterol.
The reality: Coconut oil has been shown to raise cholesterol levels — the good and the bad kinds — more than other plant-based oils like olive or canola. And in truth, medium-chain triglycerides make up only a small amount of the fatty acids in coconut oil.
Plus, while other heart-healthy fats like olive oil, canola oil, or omega-3 fatty acids in nuts and seafood have been supported by a large body of evidence, coconut oil’s supposed benefits still haven’t been proved in large-scale human research.”
Good Olive oil, avacado oil and coconut oil are expressed vs chemical extraction and cleansing used in vegetable, canola, soybean, peanut, etc. The extraction process itself aside, the "seed oils", as they are now being called, have junk molecules and oxidized fatty acids in them your body cannot metabolize correctly.
