Why You Need to Eat 30 Different Plants a Week to Fight Inflammation and How to Build Your Healthiest Gut Microbiome Yet with Gut Expert Dr. Will Bulsiewicz

Yeah, so you and I have, I feel like, I feel pretty good about the conversation that we had about microplastics and nanoplastics. And I think that that needs to be included along with pesticides because that's like an environmental toxic exposure.

And I, you know, if I'm not going to include that with ultra processed foods, then I would put this right where we are right now, which is probably number four. And you could debate, is that four or is that really three? Should I bump that above sugar? That's a debatable thing. I'm pretty close on those two from my perspective. But I do worry about these things.

And let me just summarize my thoughts on glyphosate. People get big feelings on this topic. And the thing about glyphosate is this is a water-soluble herbicide. So that means it's intended to destroy all plants. And because it's water soluble, that means that when it gets into our soil, it doesn't wash out very easily. So it will stick around for a period of time.

In fact, I was telling you before we started, I just saw a commercial on TV that the Roundup people were bragging that you can go outside, spray your lawn once, and for four months, you won't have to worry about spraying it again. So basically what they've told you is that when you spray your yard with glyphosate, those chemicals are still hanging around four months later. All right.

As your children and as your dog is running around in that yard. My wife and I have the worst yard in the neighborhood. We're never going to win the yard of the month award in Charleston because we have opted to go clean. So but, you know, that's being sprayed on our food. And that includes oats. So when you mentioned oats earlier. Actually, I'm not a fan of oat milk.

A lot of contamination also. It's basically like you're creating a refined carbohydrate because when you take that oat and you roll it, you are processing it. And then when you chop it up in a blender, you're processing it even more. So you're breaking it down into constituent pieces. So yes, I'm not a huge oat milk fan, but oats.

And this also, by the way, includes the wheat, barley, and rye that contain gluten. You hear these stories, Drew, about people. I know people also have big feelings about gluten and that's its own conversation. But you hear these stories about people who are like, I can't eat bread in the United States. But if I go to Italy, I'm fine. Okay. That is not gluten.

There's definitely gluten still in that Italian bread. And I get the argument, oh, well, the concentration of gluten is higher in the United States. No, I don't think that's what it is. I think the argument there is pesticides. That fundamentally the wheat is not being treated the same way prior to making bread compared to the wheat in the United States that is being sprayed.
