helped me transition to a better, cleaner, healthier life because the products that didn't contain artificial food dyes were few and none, right, at the time. Now there's a whole another industry being created without a lot of these chemicals, which is great. One being my company, Truvani, where we're creating products that are processed, like our bar is processed
but it's made with ingredients you would find in your own kitchen. Dates, maple syrup, nuts, right? And that's the kind of food we should be consuming and have available to the public to eat, not food that is made with poisonous carcinogens that make, for example, let's take yellow number six that's in Cheetos. Yellow number six, there's a new study that just came out.
They're terrible, but I grew up on them, and so many children eat them, and they're served in schools too.
Yes, and Doritos.
But this is what we're eating. This is what kids are getting after their soccer match. This is what is happening out there that's available whenever you go to a show or anywhere else. This is what people, I mean, you go through the airport, that's what's available.
If these are riddled with these carcinogens like yellow six, for example, that they just showed that turn the skin of mice transparent. Like, I can't make this up. Like, this is horrifying what it's doing to animals in animal studies, but we allow ourselves to continue to eat it.
It is really hard, but I don't think nutrition has to be rocket science either. I think the only people that have made it difficult to understand or calculate in a way has been the food scientists themselves that have created these chemicals using the same technology as tobacco companies. R.J., R. Reynolds, and Philip Morris bought up all the food companies in the early
I mean, it's a basic question to ask, why does the Coca-Cola served here have high fructose corn syrup made from genetically engineered corn here in the United States, but in other countries, they're using real sugar, right? Like we have a seriously different set of ingredients and chemicals that we are being exposed to than other countries.
Because they're using more natural ingredients, things that came from the earth. And I'm using my own, again, going back to this idea that it doesn't need to be rocket scientists. The food scientists have made our life complicated because all you have to do is go back to real food.
Intuitive eating and going back to what you would find in a farmer's market is literally the first step to unleashing your grips on this industry that has harmed our health, right?
Forever. I think about the Maasai, right?
Yes.
You go back to real food without added chemicals.
That's right. Yeah, or the farmer's market. You go there. And it's really that simple. It really is. It's not complicated. And, you know, I think what has been so disturbing about the American food supply is it's been engineered to get us to eat more than we should.
Yeah, absolutely. So RJR Reynolds and Philip Morris bought up General Foods and Kraft back in the day. And what they did was they said,
we have an opportunity now to get into the food business because there was a decrease in the use of tobacco because of the cigarette type warning labels, you know, the warning labels that they enacted and people became clear on you shouldn't really smoke tobacco, it causes cancer. And so they were looking for another opportunity to diversify their portfolio
And so they said, well, we have all of this amazing research that we've used to hook people to tobacco. We can use the same research and the same scientists to do the same thing to food. And we're going to buy the flavoring companies too, right?
Yeah, which is 100% true. Which parts of it?
Well, because... Well, I mean, PepsiCo has a robot that... has mimicked real human taste buds that they use for testing, okay? And this kind of information is getting out now because we have a teenager in Pennsylvania that just filed a lawsuit.
He's 16 years old, has non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and diabetes, and he is suing 11 of the top food companies in America for his ailments, saying that the ultra processed food diet that he was on made him that way because it was addictive in nature. And so as part of that lawsuit, they've come out with this evidence, right?
