You are being bamboozled.

These 4 foods are causing obesity, disease, & illness at a record-breaking rate:

SUGAR - The Devil's Cocaine

Sugar has become a drug for society.

Studies have shown that sugar is more addictive than cocaine.

Technically all carbs are made up of sugars, but to keep things simple, when I say sugar, I am referring to:

• cane sugar
• glucose/glucose syrup
• corn syrup/High fructose corn syrup
• molasses
• agave

These are the sugars that are KILLING you.

The average American consumes almost 152 pounds of sugar in one year.

That equates to about 3 pounds of sugar consumed in one week! This is not ok.

Clearly, you are not addicted to sugar, though, right?

Since 2000, heart disease has been the world's largest increase in death, rising by more than 2 million to 8.9 million deaths in 2019.

Consuming too much sugar raises blood pressure, increases chronic inflammation, leads to type II diabetes, and ultimately causes heart disease.

Heart disease, responsible for 16% of the world's total deaths each year, is the world's biggest killer.

As the world slowly adds more and more sugar to their diet through processed garbage "food," it's no surprise that heart disease is on the rise.

Cut your sugar intake, read food labels for hidden sugars, eat whole foods, and STOP SLOWLY KILLING YOURSELF!

Diet sodas (Society's Trickster)

Replacing a regular sugared drink with diet sodas seems like a good way to lose weight.

Diet drinks have zero calories and no "sugar."

Since this will lower sugar intake, it seems like a good idea, however.

The evidence for benefit is surprisingly scarce.

If diet drinks substantially improved obesity or diabetes, then we would expect that as we increased the use of diet drinks, obesity and diabetes would either stabilize or decrease.

From 1960-2000 there has been a 400% increase in the use of diet drinks. The second most popular drink in the world after Coca-Cola is Diet Coke, after all.

However, the obesity and diabetes epidemic has continued unabated.

The only logical conclusion is that diet drinks don't really help. Actually, there is substantial evidence that diet drinks may be quite harmful. In Doctor Fowler's book Fueling the Obesity Epidemic, he studied 5,158 adults in the San Antonio Heart Study:

Found a 43% increase in risk of vascular events (strokes and heart attacks) in people drinking diet sodas.

Rather than reducing risk of cardiovascular disease, diet sodas may actually increase the risk.

Since sweeteners contain no calories or sugar, this should be beneficial.

Artificial sugars can actually stimulate insulin release and lead to insulin resistance, just like regular sugar.

Reducing your overall sugar intake is certainly helpful, but it doesn't mean that replacing sugar with artificial chemicals (aspartame, Sucralose, or acesulfame-K) is a good idea.

Just stick to Water Tea or Sparky's.

You don't need "diet" drinks, you need to break your addiction to sugar and artificial chemicals.

Soy (The Infertility Bean)

Contrary to popular belief, soy is not good for you.

This has been heavily studied, and still, soy protein is pushed as a healthy alternative to meat.

Soy raises the human body's estrogen levels and causes a slew of health issues:

• Increases breast cancer risk
• Feminization in men by increasing estrogen levels
• Soy phytoestrogens inhibit thyroid function
• Soy-based infant formula can disrupt growth and reproductive development

Soy products in the U.S. are overly processed, like most American foods.

Soy started to gain popularity in the U.S. in the 1960s because of its high protein and low-fat content, but soy wasn't researched until the 70s and 80s.

Large food companies started adding soy to almost all food products for two main reasons: it's cheap and easy to process.

Check your can of tuna in the pantry.

The boxed cereal.

EVEN PROTEIN POWDERS!?!

Why? Because it's cheap.

Seed Oils (Refined Waste Products)

Seed oils, also known as vegetable oils thanks to marketing, are the new health craze as an alternative to traditional fats such as animal fats, butter, or margarine. This has been a dangerous lie.

Not only is butter not bad for you, seed oils are awful for the human body.

Some examples of seed oils:

• corn
• canola
• soybean
• safflower
• sunflower
• cottonseed

Pro Tip: Avocado, coconut, and olive oil are fruit oils and are healthy.

It's not food. Stop consuming it.

Seed oils did not exist until the late 19th century when two people decided to press oil from cotton seeds, which were a waste product.

Seed oils are created by an industrialization process involving high temperatures, oxidation, bleach, and deodorizing.

All of these steps end up creating trans fats, oxidized byproducts, and chemical residues. Lo and behold, seed oils were born, and humans started to have numerous health problems.

Reasons to AVOID seed oils:

Raises omega-6 to omega-3 ratio leading to increased inflammation and development of chronic diseases: obesity, gastrointestinal diseases (IBS, IBD), depression and anxiety, cardiovascular disease, asthma, infertility.

Heating seed oils increases by-products promoting cardiovascular disease and type-II diabetes: trans fats and lipid peroxidases.

Seed oils contain additives: BHA, BHT, and TBHQ that have endocrine-disrupting, carcinogenic, and immune-disrupting effects.

Seed Oils are added to EVERYTHING! Even high-end restaurants have no problem saving a few bucks to poison you. Don't believe me:

Go to the store and read the labels. Even the "health food" section is filled with all these poisons.

Thank god they are low-calorie, though, right?
