They’ve Been Feeding You Poison (And Calling It Food)

from Dr. Berg’s Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast · host Dr. Eric Berg

We’re living amidst the greatest health scam in history. Find out about the biggest health industry scams shaping everything you do. Uncover the shocking health truth in this video!0:00 Introduction: the biggest health scam ever 0:36 What is food? 2:28 Dietary health misinformation 4:01 Medical fraud 6:01 Ultra-processed foods and disease7:03 More health fraud exposed9:55 Lancet Planetary Health Diet The most significant factor affecting chronic disease is food. Did you know there’s a difference between the biological and legal definitions of food? The legal definition ignores biology, allowing literal poison to be marketed as food.Can you create health with ultra-processed food? No! It’s not sustainable and doesn’t repair tissues in the body. Healthy foods like red meat, saturated fats, and salt have been demonized. Food is often viewed only as a source of calories, making a glass of sugar water and a steak equal. “Balanced diets” are considered healthy, which further allows for the marketing of ultra-processed foods. Fraudulent health claims about food are just the tip of the iceberg. The definition of a drug is “anything intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent a disease.” By this definition, if broccoli can help prevent a disease, it’s a drug. We know that the calories from ultra-processed foods are one of the primary drivers of chronic disease, yet there is no established definition for these foods. RFK Jr. is currently working to change this. The definition of disease has been broadened to include risk factors and pre-disease conditions as diseases. This allows doctors to treat more conditions with drugs. Even the definition of health has been changed to increase the demand for drugs!There’s more. The Lancet Planetary Health Diet attempts to eliminate healthy animal-based foods and replace them with lab-grown meat, plant-based alternatives, and soy protein. It’s argued that we must subsidize these unhealthy foods or people will starve, but why not subsidize real food and support smaller farmers who produce quality products?
