Modern Wisdom · Exposing The Food Industry’s Dangerous Lies - Vani Hari - #867 · 21 Nov 2024 podcast

This is something that seems so innocuous that it's on the label and you're like, oh, it's from nature. It's natural flavoring. But no, it can be thousands of different chemicals under that label that create a flavor in your brain that you remember and that you crave and you taste that. And you're like, I have to eat one more. And without that flavoring component,

the food manufacturers would really be in a lot of hurt because we would stop eating at just a little bit.

Listen, real food does not taste like gravel, right? I mean, I eat a real food diet. I love everything that I have for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I think it tastes amazing. But I stay the same way. My health is awesome because I'm eating real food with real nutrition. And my body isn't being subjected to these food industry tricks anymore.

that have happened at a level that I can't even comprehend. I mean, our entire food system has been weaponized against the human body to the point now our rates of chronic disease are astronomical. I mean, like literally we were gonna have a situation where we are going to break down as a human society unless we take a look at this and see what's been done and people know the truth.

I mean, both of them are synergistic. Both of them are problematic. And you've got, on one hand, the overconsumption of food that is not nutritious. It's actually not doing anything for your mitochondria in your body. It's leading to metabolic syndrome. And that leads to so many different chronic diseases. What's metabolic syndrome?

Metabolic syndrome is a condition that happens in your body basically turns on factors for diabetes and cancer and heart disease. It basically is when the organs in your body stop functioning, your liver, your pancreas, other parts of your digestive system actually stop functioning so that you become more insulin sensitive. You become more prone to cancer.

You become more reluctant to have heart disease. And so this is something that Dr. Casey means and Callie means talk about in their book, good energy, that this is something that is literally attacking the entire body when we're eating this food. And, and it's up to us to really know the truth about what this food is.

And if it is even food, I mean, can you even call it that at that point when it's, you know, 50, 60 different chemicals in a, in a Subway sandwich or, you know, in a, in a Chick-fil-A sandwich for that matter. Um, It's something that we have to take a good look at in terms of how these chemicals interchange with each other. But here's why I think I've been effective.

at getting people's attention because I've broken down these chemicals for people to understand. And I've told them why they're there and why the food industry is using them. And they decide on their own that, hey, I'm not going to be part of this experiment anymore. I don't want that chemical in my body.

If it is taken out in a study, whether it causes hyperactivity or if it's linked to cancer or if it has some endocrine disrupting property, Those are all reasons not to consume those chemicals. And I think those are strong reasons. But what that does also is it puts a note in the person's brain of like, wait a minute, I shouldn't eat that much of this food either.

And so they don't bring it in their house as much. And so for me, my methodology has always been ingredients. You read the ingredients. If you don't recognize the ingredient, you don't understand it, you need to go find out why. And this is part of my book, Feeding You Lies. At the end, I take people through a three-part

question that they need to sit down and every time they sit down to eat, they need to ask themselves. Number one, what are the ingredients? Number two, are these ingredients nutritious? Number three, where do the ingredients come from? If you can't answer those three questions about what you're eating, you need to go find out.

And when you go find out, you will learn so much about your diet and your food that you will automatically start to make better choices. And you don't need to be a nutritionist or a food scientist or anything to know whether those ingredients are nutritious or not.

Because if you know what the ingredient is, and I'll give you a really good example, in breads, in a lot of processed foods, you'll see this ingredient and nobody knows why it's there unless they were to actually go look it up and teach themselves. It's monodiglycerides, okay?

This is a food industry manufactured product that they use to replace trans fats when the FDA banned trans fats because it was linked to 10,000 heart attacks a year and several deaths. Okay. When they banned this chemical, partially hydrogenated oils, from our food system, the food manufacturers had to find a way to still preserve oils and products. And they came up with this monodiglycerides.

And so it still even has trace amounts of trans fats in it. And it's a chemical they're using from a preservation standpoint. If you see that on a product that you're eating when you sit down to eat, you should automatically know that's not for my health. That's not for my nutrition. That's not going to serve my body. That's there for the food industry.

And so if you start to make decisions, hey, I'm not going to buy products with those chemicals anymore, you're automatically going to eliminate several thousand different products on the grocery store shelves. And it's absolutely a critical thing people have to learn.

Yeah. Any kind of processed seed oil. So cotton seed oil, canola oil, corn oil, soy oil. The majority of those come from genetically engineered seeds that are designed to withstand heavy doses of glyphosate, which has now been linked to cancer in many different court cases across the United States. and awarded plaintiffs billions of dollars, okay? So this is a closed-shut case on

our oils are being produced with this very toxic chemical, then the way the oils are actually extracted, they're extracting with hexane and different chemicals, deodorizers and bleach agents before they get to the supermarket. And the FDA, unfortunately, does not monitor the residues of things like hexane that are left in a lot of these oils, not to mention cottonseed oil,

is something that is actually produced from the textile industry. This is not even regulated like a food. It's a textile. So it has way worse pesticides and chemicals allowed for use on cotton. But they found out that they can use this byproduct in our food system. And it's actually one of the what was the main ingredient in Crisco and in trans fats for so long until now.
