90% of what we spend our healthcare dollars on in the United States is chronic illness. 90% of $4.3 trillion a year is on chronic illness, obesity, diabetes, autoimmune conditions, all of which are preventable or reversible based on what we eat and how we live.

So 90% of our healthcare dollars are going to treat, which isn't really treating, it's just kind of band-aiding, illnesses that are completely reversible and are related to things like this, are related to sugar and seed oils in our food. So if we go back to the monster, I'll just finish that one up, guys. Yeah, so we had sugar, and we talked a bit about why that's a problem.

The next ingredient is glucose, and glucose is a monosaccharide.

In animal studies, there are some evidence that there is some evidence that it looks like it is very addicting when it's pure sugar, yes. But strawberries are not addicting, right? Blueberries are not addicting in the same way that pure sugar is.

That's okay.

That's okay.

But blueberries are so healthy for humans because of all these other compounds that come with it. And I don't think, like I said, in a whole food package, sugar is harmful for humans. Like I said, there is no evidence that honey even causes diabetes. There's actually a randomized controlled trial in humans with diabetics where they gave them up to 120 grams, which is almost...

seven to eight tablespoons of honey per day in diabetics, and their insulin sensitivity got better. So we can talk about all these nuances, but if someone has diabetes and you eat fruit or you eat sugar, your body is not going to handle that sugar well, but the fruit and the honey didn't make you diabetic.

It is these other ingredients in these foods that are making you diabetic, or it is processed sugar affecting your gut microbiome.

Not the second part. And I don't think somebody with diabetes needs to be eating a lot of honey. But I want people to understand that honey isn't what gave them diabetes. It's seed oils, which are rich in a omega-6 polyunsaturated fat called linoleic acid. And we'll get deep down the rabbit hole of seed oils. That linoleic acid accumulates in cell membranes and mitochondrial membranes.

And that, I think, is really ground zero for what's causing metabolic dysfunction. But broken mitochondria... which is what we're talking about here ultimately on this podcast, that is what makes people have chronic illness and metabolic dysfunction.
