When I first found Chef AJ she showed about eating oranges and how a glass of juice would contain so many oranges and it would be better to just eat the orange and have a glass of water. I have that in my mind when I see people eating orange juice.

Chef AJ, I am so thankful for you and your advice on abstinence. For decades I tried "moderation, " and failed miserably. Just as for some people "one drink is one drunk, " for me "one bite is one binge." Abstinence is a much easier path.

Where is the research to go with these opinions/statements? Thanks in advance.

I find that when you read the ingredients on a can of peas and it has sugar in it, the common person who isn't looking out for sugar doesn't have a chance. Sugar is in everything.

I'm making my morning smoothie as I watch this. I usually add 8 drops of stevia to sweeten it so this time I've added four dates instead. Just had a taste and it's very nice.

Hoping the paperback price will come down soon... It's listed for $28.50 today on Amazon. This'll be a great book to have on hand

Oh I though you were wearing what Dr. Bulsiewicz said about soda and other artificial drinks: “Stop the Pop!”
But “Stop eating Crap” is just as awesome!

This or that way, we all appreciate your thoughtfulness, from your great interview questions, hosting daily livestreams, to dressing according to each guest like putting on Dr. Goldhammer shirts 😂✨✌️Thank you AJ!

Missed your IRIE Livestream Chef AJ, but here listening to Dr. Goran! 😀I wonder where he stands on the nutritional benefits of cold-pressed sugarcane juice and raw sugar, which here in Mexico is called 'Piloncillo' while in India its called 'Jaggery'? Refined white sugar is not good, its a toxic poison that shouldn't be categorized as food. Thanks for sharing, 👍 and greetings 👋from Mexico for Charles, Bailey and you! 🙂

What's Dr John Dougalls take on sugar. Anyone provide a link to a chef aj show?

[missiris]

Great discussion. I use monk fruit sweetener but will try to cut it out of my diet. I use a tsp. with my green tea🙃. I would like to know about fats in kids diet too.

[CastledarkDweller]

i thought maybe when AJ said DO I GET A PRIZE? the good Doc would say YES U GET A LOLLIPOP. lol

[texaspatty]

What kind of carbonated water is safe to add juice to and drink?

[texaspatty]

A listener said that Stevia is bad for the microbiome. Has that been shown in studies?
