How are people becoming vitamin A toxic? In 1970, they decided mandate fortification programs of dairy, cereals, grains, baby formula. 10 years later, starting in 1980, you start to see all the autoimmune disease exponentially rise.
All right, guys, Thor Torrens here today. We're going to talk vitamin A, aren't we? Oh, yeah, we are. I see you tweet about it every day. So yeah, break it down for everyone watching this because vitamin A is you're not a fan of it, right? No.
So it's an important topic. Vitamin A is not a vitamin. Okay. January this year, I read this book called Poisoning for Profits by Grant Jenrew. And it changed my entire world. Basically, in 1970, we started... First of all, let's backtrack to the cornerstone research in the early 1900s. Rockefeller research. Scientists, you know, evil white men, discovered...
this vitamin, vitamin A. It was the first discovery. Before this, the word vitamin was really vital amines, which was like protein, a macro, an essential. But then all of a sudden, they had this chase, this discovery of, hey, Nobel Peace Prize, patent, And where there's a money grab, there's corruption, right?
So there was a race to discover this hidden molecule inside food that somehow we were all deficient in. So vitamin A was the first discovery. It's actually retinol, which is an alcohol. You see that OL at the end. And it is a fat-soluble toxin. So what does that mean? Your liver can get too much of it. You have a quota. They quietly tell you, hey, the RDA is 3,000 IUs a day. None of us listen.
None of us really care because it's a vitamin, right? When you think liver, when you think non-alcoholic liver, when you think fatty liver, when you think cirrhosis of the liver, you think drugs and alcohol, right? And some like other. The last thing you think is a vitamin. But a lot of women know and a lot of doctors that deal with pregnant women know, hey, vitamin A causes birth defects.
So that was the first thing. When my wife had our first child, she didn't want to take a multivitamin with vitamin A in it, a prenatal. And I was like, okay, yeah. She's like, it causes birth defects. Never thought anything else of it.
didn't realize that me being a health nut, I was doing liver, I was doing cod liver oil, I was doing a multivitamin, I was eating a sweet potato every day, trying to eat a carrot salad, doing spinach or a dark leafy green, doing a red pepper. I was basically trying to check the box every day with all the nutrients and And I overdosed. I became hypervitaminosis A, vitamin A toxic. Wow.
Which now it looks like one out of three people are vitamin A toxic. How are people becoming vitamin A toxic? In 1970, they decided mandate fortification programs of dairy, cereals, grains, baby formula. The low-fat craze brought in the margarines and the low-fat dairy. Mm-hmm. And 10 years later, starting in 1980, you start to see all the autoimmune disease exponentially rise.
