And this is an interesting point of reference to consider. If you think about the health of humans in 1900, Heart disease, which is heart attacks, strokes, all these cerebrovascular issues, were a fraction of what they are today. They were vanishingly rare. In 1900, a lot of people don't know this, in 1900, essentially very few doctors had even seen a heart attack in their patient.

Obesity was incredibly rare 120 years ago.

There are so many things that could cause a heart attack.

Right, right. Who knows? I mean, I think that heart attacks were incredibly rare in 1900. People could have had a heart attack because of stress or lack of sleep. Other toxins in the environment could have contributed to a heart attack, like mercury toxicity or heavy metal toxicity.

These foods happened. Processed foods happened. That's the major thing. Plus, you know, we can think about... introduction of pesticides, introduction of other foods that are more contaminated with problematic things like heavy metals in the human diet. But at a broad level, ultra-processed foods came into the human diet over the last 120 years.

And seed oils came into the human diet over the last 120 years. Food dyes, mono- and diglycerides, all of these ingredients that your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize have become part of the human diet, the majority of our diet.

you know enjoyable is it because it's more addicting is it because because of what what are the three four five all of the above they're cheaper they have a better shelf life they taste better and they're more addicting so recently evidence has come out which is i think we need to corroborate this but there was a lawsuit that recently was filed and the lawsuit alleges that many of these big food companies craft conagra nestle actually have been working with scientists to develop foods that are hyper palatable

potentially even using things like EEGs. So an EEG is an electroencephalogram. It's something we do in the hospital when we're looking for seizures in a patient's brain. But there's the possibility, there are rumors that these food companies have actually been using brain scans like this to see how eating a Pringle affects your brain.

And to engineer foods like this, to light up your brain in the maximum way possible. This is how sinister this is. And this is, I guess, sort of legal because we have an open food system and there's nothing illegal about a Pringle.

But if these food companies are actually making these foods intentionally to light up your brain and make them hyper palatable and hyper addictive, we are really being poisoned. It's really pretty crazy.
