LOL. I worked for Whole Foods for like 6 years. If I made a list of foods I would never eat. It would be:
1) Organic ANYTHING: There's an entire protocol for handling organic food. Basically, you have to use different knives, different cutting boards, the organic food has to be stored above the conventional food, there are protocols for sanitizing the tools you use. In essence, if everything isn't organic - NOTHING is organic because the chemicals in the non-organic foods INSTANTLY contaminate the organic foods. Any difference in flavor comes from the fact that the distributor got the organic food from a different source than the conventional.
2) ANYTHING stored in a refrigerator the way refrigerators are designed to be used. LOL Most refrigerators have the vegetable bin at the bottom. Storing vegetables BELOW meat is absolutely ILLEGAL in a grocery store. The reason being that fluids from the meat will inevitably drip down onto the veggies and contaminate them with something you don't want to get. Veggies go above meats, ALWAYS.
3) Fish from the west coast (for now. Yeah, remember that big nuclear power plant thing that happened in Japan? Pacific Ocean fish are completely screwed up.
4) Wine from California harvested in or around the years when there were crazy wildfires in California. It tastes like garbage.
5) Whey protein that is NOT actual Whey Protein. I don't go for that 'Vegan' crap. I'm Lactose Intolerant and I have no adverse effects from real Whey protein, so I'll stick to it.
6) Guts. The 'Liver King' can kiss you know what. I'm only eating muscle tissue. I was a butcher for 3 years and I'm not eating guts.
7) Ground Beef with specific Lean/Fat content ratios. It's nonsense. I can, and have, ground 40lbs. of beef trim (the crap you cut off of a beef primal to make steaks) and gotten it to test out at 90/10. It's all about what 'pinch' of meat you put in the tester. Also, it might be 89/11, that's considered 85/15. If it's 84/16, that's 80/20. It's a 'you know what' show with sprinklers and fireworks.
8) ANY chicken that's not certified free range. Chickens are basically little T-Rex's. They'll eat any meat they can get in their mouths (or beaks. If you put a bunch of them in a cage, and one dies from some crazy disease, the rest of them will eat it. THAT is how humans get 'bird-flu'. Chickens do NOT eat vegetables by choice. I only buy chicken that says ABF (Anti Biotic Free - because you don't need to give antibiotics to a chicken that's free range) and 'Free Range'. I don't care how much it costs. Chickens are FAR worse than pigs in terms of what they will eat.

I have to push back on some things Dr. Lustig said. which makes me question how unbiased he is on other claims.
First is that he is using psychological manipulation. When he talks about whole grain, scare quotes clearly included, he uses scare language, saying the grains are pulverized, and making pounding motions. No, the grains are ground into flour, just as is done with non-whole-grains. This is not scary or abnormal. No grains were made to suffer.
Second is the Carbs Are Evil theme, with hinting that carbs will cause Metabolic Issues.
But mainly, it is this third point: The difference between whole grains and not is NOT whether the grain is left entirely intact and not ground into flour. Rather, it is whether the FIBER has been removed. If the whole grain is ground, the fiber is still there. You still get the fiber. You don't if the husk is removed and discarded.
A fourth bonus issue: Dr. Lustig seems to be implying that leaving the grains intact means that the innards of the grain -- the starches -- get delivered to your gut bacteria, because they get the fiber either way, so long as the husk wasn't removed. But then later we hear that it is not the starches that they need. it is the fiber. Yes, he did not say this directly, but his statement does not make sense otherwise.
Extra special bonus fifth issue: Um. how many of us swallow our food without chewing it? Guess what happens to those intact grains when we chew them. They break open, exposing their delicate starchy interior, which, we were warned, would let us use up the starches rather than delivering them to the gut bacteria, but which (as above) aren't what they need anyway.

Wild salmon is red, it takes colour by eating krill. Farmed salmon does not have this source of colouring. it is fed specially formulated mix of corn, fish& krill not suitable for humans. The EPA/DHA fish oils in farmed salmon also come from that waste fish remnants fed to farm salmon. The colouring is the same as natural one, carotenoid Astaxanthin, not some fake colouring. It is safe and does not change salmon nutrition value. The major concern with farmed salmon is not colouring. Farmed salmon grown on pellets does not move as much as wild one, it is fatter, and quality of thosed fats is poor (comes from corn and other vegetable oil sources, often lacks EPA/DHA. Wild salmon is red, lean, bursting with protein, EPA/DHA oils, this is the major reason to prefer wild over farmed. Although farmed one is mild on fish taste, delicious when smoked and lightly salted

Hi, I am a PhD in aquaculture from Spain and I am here just to add one detail. I don't know how people in the USA do it, but talking about European/Norwegian salmon (and Chilean, as far as I know, farm raised salmon do not receive dyed additives in their food other than astaxanthins. This is because, since they are raised in a cage, they cannot get their natural dose of astaxanthins (which they normally get from microalgae, krill, and other stuff, so they need this additive. And even though the natural colour of salmon is quite pale, wild caught salmon are also red due to this same reason. So, you shouldn't be scared of farm raised salmon, actually they are way healthier; or at least that is the case here in Europe, because I know additive politics in the USA are way more permissive and troublesome from the health point of view.

The point about bread is 100% correct. Diabetic here, taking a medicine that smacks my weak pancreas awake and makes them make more insulin.
However, if I eat something with a high glycemic index and take my medicine with it, it'll make me crash and get too low blood sugar within two hours.
I can eat all the 100% whole durum wheat pasta I want. But one slice of whole grain bread will make me tank within two hours. I'm convinced that supermarket bread just isn't as clean as steel cut oats and whole grain pasta and fruits/veggies. By comparison, one banana by itself keeps me level.

I have gluten intolerance and for half of my life I had bad acid reflux. After I cut out gluten I never got reflux again.
Bananas have a similar starch to gluten and cause me problems too. So if I need potassium then I eat something like avocado.
Second thing I cut out of my diet was msg. Because I used to get headaches often and always got tired and sleepy after lunch. After I stopped eating msg I didn't get headaches anymore and I don't get tired anymore.
Apparently kefir is really good, like a lot better than yoghurt.

I eat what ever the heck I want and almost never look at labels. People are such slaves to the diet gurus and they are miserable. Some folks can't just have a meal or snack without lecturing everyone around them about all the ingredients, the nutritional facts blah blah blah. Just eat reasonably in conjunction with proper exercise, if you want specific gains from your specific work-outs then simply adjust for that purpose otherwise take the poles out of your arses and stop being so anal. My final rant of 2023.

Ditch your Yogurt for home made kefir bro! It will benefit you 100 times more. And if your diet is already rich snd has been in fibre rich fruits and veggies, and your you re not a fibre starved carnivore or low carb -low fibre keto extremist, you don t have to sweat the fibre as you are likely consuming more than enough fibre, and won t even have to worry about the Akkermansia muciniphila going carnivore on your mucosal gut lining leading to leaky gut syndrome or gut disbiosis.

I have worked in the salmon industry for years and have to dispell the myth that the dyes in salmon feed are bad for you. Astaxanthin is a naturally occuring caratenoid that is present in wild caught and farmed salmon and is completely safe for humans to consume and shouldn't be lumped in with chemical colourants put into other processed foods. Also worth noting if you want to eat salmon you cant eat wild caught salmon Sustainability and farmed is the only option currently

America. Where the food here is food like substance. Most of our food is banned in the UK alone. When I stocked the shelves at the grocery store for nights, when I lost my job, I was amazed at how many foods and items there were, that were not real food. My manager told me that the entire aisle I put on the shelf was all processed no realistic nutrition. The only thing that s not process is the produce and meat which, even in the meat has some added ingredients to it.

Let's listen closely to what Rhonda is saying. She said that IF you are putting blue berries into your smoothie, don't add a banana. Did she say Don't add bananas to your smoothies, period? NO. Personally, blue berries are too delicious to add into my protein shake smoothies. The great blue berry taste gets lost if I do, but I do add 1/2 a banana.
Also I add yogurt to my diet not for its bacteria, but because its a great source of the all important PROTEIN we need.

I used to think the same way about whole grain: how can it be whole if it's been ground up into a fine powder? But the term whole grain doesn't come from the grain being whole at all. It comes from the fact that the germ and the bran have not been removed. The fact that it has been crushed into powder does not remove the health benefits. It still contains all the same nutrients and insoluble fiber to help with digestion as a literal whole grain.

Jeff I think you should move to Africa, in particular, Zimbabwe, We get a bad rep but we don't do that processed food none sense and nobody buys soup in the stores, we have grandmoms, mothers or a wife who insist on making that fresh. we never buy farmed fish as we have lakes and dams for days (like your version of the New York fish market. Thanks for all the great info as usual, Regards from an Athlean

We bought wheat berries (the actual intact whole wheat) directly from a farmer (a cousin, so we know the source. We ve been making breads and such with the actual whole grains. Are you saying that grinding them makes them useless or that the level the mills grind and sift them makes them useless? There is a more natural taste to our bread now. It doesn t last as long, but my bread tastes real again.

It s important to note that food standards are different in every country. Australia, where I m from, has very high food standards. We aren t allowed to have the sodium, fat or sugar levels that the US does. We also don t strip fibre out of our food to the same degree and we don t use corn syrup.
I m not suggesting that the statements made here are incorrect, just to be aware of the differences

Dear Athlean-x, Unfortunately, the last statement is wrong,
Even if you have normal gut biota, which is extremely unlikely due to our exposure to the unifocal environment, food choices, and lifestyle, , you need fermented foods with probiotic properties. Dr. Justin Sonnenburg from Stanford, funded by philanthropy found that high fermented foods had far higher benefits than fibrous.

After readng Glucose Revolution, I've changed the order I eat my foods & I have cut out a lot of the super sweet fruits. If I do eat them, its after dinner. Lowering my glucose levels has helped my body to heal, reset & actually lose weight. We've got pie in the freezer from Thanksgiving that we've still not touched because we've changed our eating habits by doing glucose hacks.

None of this stuff really matters, the people talking about how bad EVERYTHING is or more often how bad they CAN be are just trying to make money from suckers who think this stuff really matters. If this was as important as these people try to act like they are, EVERYONE who ate the things these people say they should would never get sick or get things like cancer but they do.

Jeff. I have been making yogurt for like 3 years now, and I do inoculate it with live bacteria, so, I assume some yogurts will still have that bacteria, but not the ones at the supermarket, because those are ultra pasteurized, and derived from all of its nutrients along the way. It will die eventually? Yes, but at least you get some of that good bacteria inside.
