So yes, there are networks that are still not engaging in this conversation. And that is a shame on them.
One of the first ones that I removed from my diet was just industrial oils. So coming from genetically engineered crops like corn, soy, canola, and cottonseed. First of all, those crops are... Those seeds are designed to withstand heavy doses of Roundup, which is the main chemical in Roundup. Glyphosate is linked to cancer and is something that we should be avoiding.

So that alone in itself is a reason. But then the way that these oils are then processed, they're extracted using chemical solvents like hexane, which... The FDA does not monitor the amount of hexane residue that remains in the product. Then they are bleached. They're deodorized because they smell awful when they've been extracted. And so they have to cover up the smell.

And then they add other chemicals that may not end up on the label to these products. So it ends up the way that they are processed ends up being almost a rancid type product. And then. this specific type of oil is 60% of Americans' diets. And when we look at the rising rates of chronic disease, this could be a contributing factor.

And the fact that the omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acid ratio that remains in the oil is off, you know, and one of the reasons why so many Americans are deficient in omega-3. I feel like I'm preaching to the choir here. But But it's so... People don't know this. Yeah, yeah, I know. But it's something that I feel like we've just been on this drumbeat for so long. But it's very simple.

Replace those oils with olive oil, ghee, coconut oil, and avocado oil. If you just do that at home, cook with those oils. And I have two cookbooks where I explain how those things work and how to... use those different oils. And Mark has amazing cookbooks as well that talks about that as well. And so I'd say one of the first things you do is that.

And that itself will eliminate so many different products off the shelf as it is. And you'll avoid your biggest exposure to GMOs. You'll avoid your biggest exposure to these other toxic chemicals that remain in these products that could be affecting your body. But then I would look at kind of, there's a group of chemicals that you find in ultra processed foods.

And those are the artificial food diets that we've already discussed, removing those from your diet. I remember when I removed those from my diet, my skin immediately cleared up. The eczema, the went away and, and, and people have noticed that as well.
