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.

I think a lot of manufacturers have started to remove cottonseed, although you see it all the time. It's everywhere. And... This is something that is pervasive in our food supply. And so when I'm looking for a product to buy on the shelf, I look for things made with olive oil. I look for things made with coconut oil. I look for things made with avocado oil. And that's about it.

And I use grass-fed butter and ghee at home to cook with. And I eliminate all seed oils. So that's like the first thing that you'd want to do. The second ingredient is high fructose corn syrup. Not only is that also made from genetically engineered corn, and have all those chemicals associated with the crops. But the way it's produced also disrupts your, it primes you for metabolic syndrome.

It primes your body for insulin resistance. And so this is something you want to take out of your diet. And this is, you'll find everywhere. It's in Coca-Cola. It's in soda. It's in the majority of things that you find on grocery store shelves, unfortunately. Then you want to look at, sorry, go ahead.

And then you want to look at all of the different artificial ingredients that are allowed in food. I'll give you a great example. Red number three was banned in cosmetics because it caused cancer.

But when they were ready to ban it in food, the alcohol industry lobbied the FDA and said, no, you need to allow it still in food because it makes our maraschino cherries that we have in all of our popular alcoholic drinks red. And so we need to keep those maraschino cherries with that red number three dye. So you need to still allow it in food. So you can't use it in lipstick.

But it's still allowed in food. And that shows you what a wild, wild west kind of situation we have with our government agencies and how they're completely co-opted by industry. And one of the things that I think needs to happen immediately at the FDA is remove all industry funding from the FDA. And it should be a government funded organization.
