Understanding Junk Food | Dr. Alan Desmond

An excerpt from my conversation with gastroenterologist and gut health wizard Dr. Alan Desmond...

We go deep and practical on the fundamentals of a healthy diet—what to eat, what to avoid, how to do it, how to sustain it—and why this is so important to every facet of our health.

Episode 766.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Food scientists now instead of farmers.

And we wonder why every chronic disease is on the rise.

I've heard up to 80%. There''s a great book out on this called "Ultra-Processed People" (probably more than one book out on it actually!)

My mate used to buy pepperami, stinking, disgusting jank, youre absolutely right, no business in the human digestive tract 😂

I wish this guy had his stuff together beforehand, cuz multiple comments here are saying that lecithin and carrageenan are ok

[brightsunlight]

For 1 month I wrote down all stuff I ate and their chemicals. Its shocking how much it was and however I already watched what I'm eating and organic food.

[anitavirginillo]

I don't understand why people are resistant to a whole foods plant based diet. It eliminates all these problems and our bodies thrive on it.

[In.the.darkness_there_is_light]

I’m thinking lecithin and carrageenan don’t belong in this list. These are found naturally in foods.

That's why it's said "we have most advanced medical treatments now but not good

[wendywertz]

I eat all real food meat fruit vegetables full fat dairy no issues . It’s all the processed stuff that ppl abuse and I exercise strength train too plus hiit . Muscles are key to longevity! many studies have proven muscle mass = longer life longer health span !

[TheBswan]

I'm the first person to advocate for eating real food; that said, neither lecithin nor carageenan are particularly harmful, and are naturally found in egg yolk and edible seaweed respectively.

[krazyspaas]

"safer" than the victorian add-ins to cut costs..

[wendywertz]

Our hormones are made of cholesterol and fat is vital for excellent health ! Real fat not processed seed oil ! Egg yolks are super good ! My hormones did not balance during menopause until I started eating eggs, butter, and animal fats ! No more hrt at all just real damn food ! Don’t be afraid of real fats
