But I think what's really important about reading labels is that there's this kind of three-question question.
detox that i i talk about the end of feeding you lies and this is kind of how you start the process of really training your mind to eat real food you start with the question the first question what are the ingredients so you have to know kind of everything that you're eating and so if you sit down for a meal and you don't know the ingredients stop eating that meal and find out
And once you read the ingredients and, and, and look at them, do you understand them all? Do, are they real food? Are they, you know, is it an apple cinnamon and sea salt or is it TBHQ and, you know, blue number one, uh, TBHQ by the way, is a very popular synthetic preservative that they use in very popular products. And, uh, you know, Reese's peanut butter cups comes to mind. Um,
Oh, yeah. And, you know, this is actually an ingredient that negatively affects your T cells in your bodies and promotes allergies. So like if you have an allergic, just an allergy to anything, it can just increase your immune response to that allergy. And you can have a very adverse reaction. And if you eat a lot of foods with this,
It's been linked to vision disturbances, stomach cancer, behavioral problems in children, all sorts of things. And this is a preservative that's in a lot of things. But when you read that on a label, TBHQ, you have to ask yourself, what is that? And so that leads you to the second question, which is, are these ingredients nutritious? Is TBHQ nutritious?
Hell no, right? And so then you start to realize, like, why am I eating these non-nutritious ingredients, and maybe I need to choose something different. And then the third question you ask yourself is, where do these ingredients come from? Are they made in a laboratory, in a chemical factory? And in the case of natural flavors that you mentioned, yes, they are.
People see the word natural and think it's coming from nature. Yeah, it starts in nature, but the way they manipulate, for example, a strawberry in a laboratory, or they can manipulate some other substance
That comes from nature and make it act like a strawberry or taste like a strawberry or create the one millionth best part taste of something so that they can put in a product that normally would not taste good on the shelf that lasts there for, you know, nine to 12 months. They could put it in a product and it would taste like a real strawberry even though it has no real strawberries in it.
And that's what natural flavoring is. And so it tricks your brain into thinking you're eating real food when you're not. But your body is still wondering where the nutrition from that strawberry is coming from. So you start to crave more than you should. And so natural flavors are one of the most...
Evil ingredients, I believe, in our food supply because they trick your brain and they hijack your taste buds and they continue that craving so you eat more than you should. And with obesity, heart disease, and diabetes as our biggest issue in this country and cancer, you know, we have to take control of our taste buds.
And the only way to do that is not to allow the food industry to control them. And so removing natural flavors from your diet is like the number one thing I think. And it's so, you know, even though there's many more chemicals that are many more, much more harmful to you. Almost 99% of the products on product shelves at the grocery store have natural flavor.
So if you avoid natural flavor, you avoid many of those. And it's actually one of the reasons I started my company, Truvani. I just want to mention because there are so many supplement companies out there, protein powder companies and supplement companies that use these natural flavors. Yeah, yeah.
And I wanted to create a line of products that were made from real food and non-synthetic substances. It didn't trick your brain into craving a flavor more than it should. I want people to be able to turn off their normal mechanism to crave food. And it's one of the reasons why we're doing what we're doing at True
Yeah, absolutely. So, you know, in Feeding New Lives, I kind of go off all of the different – like uh i guess phases of things that the government has done in terms of um trying to um help you know in terms of you know when we look at the root cause and you you know this mark so the root cause of a lot of our issues is because of where our subsidies and our agriculture um
producers are basically being given subsidies so that they produce really cheap commodities for America. And those cheap commodities like corn and soy are what make up the majority of processed foods. And so these checkoff programs actually give the corn and soy and canola industries power in the government to make decisions, whether it's something that makes a decision on
My Plate, which the government creates to kind of give guidelines to children and schools on how their plate should look at the end of the day, if dairy should be on there or not be on there, how much of grain should be on there versus not be on there. And you've written a lot in your detox books and other books about how some of these
The things that we make the most of, corn and soy, have been very detrimental to our health because not only the glyphosate that's sprayed on the majority of those crops that is linked to cancer, but also the fact that it imbalances your omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acid ratio in your body. Yeah.
Yeah. So, you know, we have, and then this also happens within the meat industry too. And so there's so many different abuses in terms of the different checkoff programs. And it all stems from this one organization within the government. It's the Government Accountability Office, or it's called the GAL, the USDA GAL.
And it basically oversights all of these checkoff programs where they allow these food companies to continue to market food to us, even though it's unhealthy.
Yeah, exactly. And I'm thinking of another one, you know, the whole grain, the grain society too was doing that a while with, you know, by saying whole grain was heart healthy.
