create that free glutamic acid component and when they combine that with salt it kind of creates that irresistible flavor that hijacks your taste buds and hijacks your brain so that you remember that flavor it's the same reason why my mouth waters when i mentioned chick-fil-a even though i haven't had it in 15 years you know and it's it's this component right it's the reason why pepsico has a robot
a robot to mimic human taste buds right like how can we as humans stand chance against that kind of technology that is created with the combination of chemicals they're putting in our food to make that irresistible flavor yes they're trying to make their products tasty i get that right like that's a free market idea but the idea that these have now become so addictive that It's causing obesity.
We have to do something different. To me, I opt out of those chemicals and say, you know what? I don't want my taste buds to be hijacked. I want to be able to stop when I want to stop eating something. And that's the one thing nature provides and why I preach eating whole fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds, meats, dairy, like one ingredient foods is what everybody should be going towards.
Oh, it feels so good. And I think you just make such a great point that like, there's a way to talk about this in a way that will inspire more people to eat real food and whole food. And I think, you know, you don't really need to demonize any specific chemical in order to get the message across that people should be eating more whole real food, what ingredient foods.
And that's one way I think the government can really, you know, be a leader in this, in making sure that people understand the dangers of ultra processed food, but also do it in a way that, you know, inspires people that they need to be, you know, going towards one more, you know, one ingredient of whole foods. And that could really change their diet. I mean, change their life.
I mean, that's how I changed my life. Like, I really don't think that people can do what they are meant to do in this world until they achieve true health. And their brain becomes clear. And I think that's when that's when you find out why you were put on this earth and you go find your calling and you go do it.
And I think that that happens when you really figure out how to put the right things in your body.
Yeah, so I have four books. You can find all of that information on foodbabe.com. You can check out our products at Truvani.com. We have the number one plant-based protein powder in the United States right now in natural food stores. And we created a bar all with real whole foods that you can check out. It's delicious. They're more like dessert, in my opinion. And they are. They're my dessert.
And...
They're delicious. Yeah, you can follow me on all social media at The Food Babe.
Definitely. Thank you.
the chemicals that have entered the food supply are largely there only for one reason. And they're not to improve nutrition or improve our health. They're actually just there to improve the bottom line of the food industry. Because we live in a capitalistic society and our government doesn't really regulate the food system like we think they should or we are under the assumption that they are.
I mean, there's this underlying assumption, I believe, along with a lot of people that the FDA is this big, you know, big, huge part of government that's independently testing all of these different chemicals and overseeing all of these food companies and what they're producing and what they're putting in the food supply. But they don't have the manpower to do it.
They've never had the manpower to do it. And they don't usually act unless they're sued by a third party organization or a nonprofit or that sees some issue with some of these chemicals. And so, you know, you see right now there's big lawsuits happening. There was one very big lawsuit that happened actually with artificial flavors.
There were seven artificial flavors that were linked to cancer, many of them found in every single candy that kids eat. And it took organizations like the NRDC and others to point this fact out to the FDA to finally get them banned. But they gave these companies two to four years to make these changes.
So we're just going to allow these chemicals that cause cancer in our food for two to four years, even though it's been proven that they cause cancer. And so... It's, you know, we are in a situation where we don't have a lot of regulation around the food system. And once you understand that, that we don't have the regulation.
And the worst part is when things are banned like trans fats, food companies find other chemicals that act the same way as trans fats. So one chemical that you'll see in tons of bakery bread products and other things that have to stay on the shelf for a really long time is monodiglycerides. That is actually a minute amount of trans fats in every single product.
molecule of that and so it's still clogging up our hearts still clogging up our arteries and you know trans fats are linked to like 20,000 deaths or 7,000 deaths 20,000 heart attacks a year I mean that's from the CDC yeah but we still allow these chemicals in our in our food and even allow food chemists to come up with different ways to continue to include them which is just very frightening and
And so once you understand that the food isn't regulated, then you also need to understand that the information that we get in the media is being largely manipulated by the food industry and front groups, groups that seem very, you know, reputable.
like the American Heart Association or, you know, the Center for Science and Public Integrity or the International Council on Science and Health, right? Yeah, exactly. You took it out of my mouth. You hear all these organizations, you're like, oh, they're looking after our health. They care about our heart. These are organizations that are made up of doctors and specialists and experts.
