Debunking Sanjay Gupta

: Episode 638 - Anna and Vinnie take time debunking Sanjay Gupta, CNN's medical experts. They go through one of his 2 minute health videos in detail and show how it is full of contradictions, misleading imagery, and confusing statements. It's no wonder that Americans are so confused about what is healthy and what is not. #circle #zero PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Villa Cappelli Squatty Potty WHO IS SANJAY GUPTA? Neurosurgeon and reporter Wanted to be Surgeon General (could be, one day [hopefully not]) Often on CNN for health related stuff Constantly contradicts himself Reads off of teleprompter People who write for him have no idea what they're talking about Try to sell "Standard American Diet" = SAD His videos lend themselves to allow Vinnie to begin debunking Sanjay Gupta DEBUNKING SANJAY GUPTA He is saying that some carbs are healthy and some are unhealthy BUT then he says they ALL DO THE SAME THING So how are some healthy and some unhealthy if they turn out the same in your body? This is why the American people are so confused In 42 seconds, he has talked in a complete circle He says fruits, vegetables, candy, honey (simple carbs) are processed quickly which is bad because it turns into sugar quickly He just called fruit good now he's saying it is bad? How can vegetables be grouped with candy? :52 seconds He says other carbs give you longer sustained energy from complex carbs -- potatoes, beans, BREAD Potatoes in REALITY are very sugary and cause glycogen load / glucose spike He is claiming they are really good He says whole grains are good Wait, but popcorn is a grain and he just said it was bad? #CIRCLE He links Watermelon and Popcorn in the video In reality, Watermelon has a VERY LOW glycemic index because of water content, and now he has said popcorn is BAD but grains (which popcorn is) are good? These two things are incomparable Only thing Vinnie and Sanjay agree upon is that sugar not used for energy (for most people, most of it) turns into fat! 1:52 of a 2:09 minute video is the first time Sanjay speaks the truth after he has confused and misguided everyone First time we hear fat in the video He says a double cheeseburger is bad although he just said grains are good The general public thinks the meat and cheese is bad, so is Sanjay implying that the meat and cheese is bad or the grain (which he previously said was good) is bad In reality, the only healthy part is the meet and cheese and lettuce and tomato! He links fat to a chicken wing as if no good fats exist SO confusing and deliberately misleading
