Food Choices Page #3

ldl cholesterol,

and hdl cholesterol

are very, very low.

So that's the wrong

reason to eat fish,

or take fish oil capsules,

is to increase your

hdl cholesterol.

Work on getting all

your cholesterol low.

- Since I was a

kid, I always heard that milk

was a very important food.

And I consumed a lot of it.

I also loved all kinds

of dairy products,

cheeses, butters,

ice creams, yogurts,

you name it, I had it all.

It took me many years

to begin realizing

that perhaps that was

not such a great idea.

But I still wondered.

How about calcium?

Would I be able to get

enough of it from plants?

- Well, we have a lot

of calcium in dairy.

But it's never been a

problem to have too low

calcium in a diet.

- An orange has a 110

milligrams of calcium.

Alright, so if you're trying

to take in 1500 milligrams

a day, that doesn't

sound like so much,

but when you're only

trying to get 500,

it sounds pretty

good as a percentage

of your daily intake.

- Milk is healthy food,

for calves.

For baby cows.

I mean, milk is for

babies, literally.

I mean, we're the only

species that drinks milk

of another species, and then

the only species that drinks

milk after weaning

into adulthood.

Why is milk associated

with increased prostate

cancer risk, for example.

Well, what is milk?

Milk is a cocktail

of growth hormones

to get a little bovine animal,

who's you know, who's

susceptible to predation

out on the African Savannah,

to, you know, put on

a few hundred pounds

in a few months, right,

because they don't

want to get eaten by a lion.

And so it's engineered

as this growth food

for rapid growth, which is

great if you're a little

baby cow, but if

you're an adult person,

that extra growth hormones

is not a good thing.

You know, one of the

hardest things for people

to give up is dairy,

and they're sometimes

really resistant to it, so

one of the things I tell

people is, "well, why don't

you look at the evidence

"and then decide."

Because I've always said

taking control of your health,

is not doing what I say

instead of what other

people say, taking

control of your health is

looking at the information

and making a conscious

choice, about what

you want to do.

- Dairy products i

describe as liquid meat.

They're basically

just like red meat.

High fat, high

cholesterol, no fiber,

in fact, they may

be worse than meat.

- The casein that they

use to bind the cheese

is so full of chemicals.

The chemicals are as

addictive as heroin,

that we don't have four

stomachs like a baby

calf, and unfortunately,

it is in everything.

They put cow secretions, i

know you have other names

for it, dairy, butter,

ice cream, cheese.

But it's really breast

milk from a cow.

- The only reason

people think we need

extra calcium is

because two decades ago

scientists, they raised

the bar on how much

calcium we needed.

That in turn was influenced

by the dairy industry.

What they're really saying

is, "we're not drinking

"enough milk."

Because that's what the dairy

industry wants us to say.

When in reality, if you

look at the relationship

between how much calcium

that people consume,

in different societies,

as it relates to,

let's say, osteoporosis,

the bone disease,

the higher the calcium intake,

the higher the risk

of osteoporosis.

No one wants to hear that.

But that's what the datas show.

- What goes on

inside an egg during incubation?

Well, after a week, the

eye shows up clearly

in the embryo, as the first

external organ to develop.

Gestation is much further

advanced at ten days.

The chick's outline

is more pronounced

as other organs begin to form.

At 14 days, you can see

the shape of the chick.

The contents of the

egg provide nourishment

during the incubation period.

- Most people

can't imagine starting

their day without eggs.

It's the favorite breakfast

option around the world.

And eggs make their

way everywhere,

in breads, cakes,

candies, dressings,

and even drinks.

Eggs have played an important

role in our foraging

ancestors creation and survival.

Overall, eggs are regarded

as a healthy food,

rich in protein,

minerals and fats.

But in today's world, are eggs

really a good food choice?

I was shocked to discover

the mounting amount

of scientific evidence

showing that eggs

and especially commercial

eggs might not be

the healthy food that we

all once thought it to be.

- Eggs are the most

concentrated source

of dietary cholesterol,

in the average person's diet.

And dietary cholesterol

can lead to an increase

in blood cholesterol

levels, which is the leading

risk factor for our

number one killer

of men and women, heart disease.

- Eggs have kind of

the same issue as dairy

in some ways, because

commercial eggs

are from chickens that

are commercially raised,

so, if you ever knew

how they were raised,

it's horrible, you would

never go near it once.

So, it's disgusting, but aside

from the disgustingness

of it, commercial

chickens are fed

antibiotics, to keep them

bigger, it makes them

bigger, cephalosporin,

to be specific.

They are fed feed that's

usually corn and soy,

genetically modified,

so bt toxin, corn,

roundup ready corn,

roundup ready soy.

So those are effecting

again the bacteria

and the microbiome

of the chicken,

and then, of you, because

you're ingesting it,

it's bio-accumulative.

A commercial chicken

leg is mostly omega 6,

it's not omega 3, so it's

a horrible polyetceteric

profile, and that's you know,

the least of the problems.

Because, like I said,

you've got the residue

from glyphosate and bt

toxin, and pesticides.

- The next

nutrients on my list were

omega 3 fatty acids.

Who hasn't heard about

fish oil capsules?

And their supposedly

great health benefits.

There seems to be a

lot of controversy

on this topic.

I was curious to find out

how much of these fats

we needed to stay healthy.

And how would someone get them,

if they didn't eat fish.

- A lot of these silly dietary

fads become an industry.

There's a lot of money to

be made, making products

that cater to them,

and that sort of thing,

and I'm convinced that's

the omega 3 thing.

Okay, so here's the deal.

There are two

essential fatty acids.

Omega 3's and 6's.

All the rest of them,

your body synthesizes,

essential means

must come from food.

Alright, so we find

omega 3 fatty acids

in foods like seafood,

walnuts, flax seeds,

some soy, alright.

And then we find

omega 6 fatty acids

in land animals, chicken, pork,

beef, and polyunsaturated

vegetable oils.

And so you can see

what our problem is,

we eat a lot of

omega 6 fatty acids.

And in fact the ratio

of omega 3 to omega 6

fatty acids used to

be between one to one,

and one to four.

You know what it is today?

Between one to twenty

five, and one to thirty.

So this has led a

lot of people to say,

"my gosh, this is

so out of whack.
