Introduction to Healthy Fats vs. Harmful Fats
00:00:00
Speaker
Hey, Christian Jardinov here. Today I want to talk to you about the healthiest fats to eat and the poisons to stay away from.
Impact of Processed Foods on Fat Intake
00:00:11
Speaker
And when I say poisons, talking about fats, I don't mean it in a hyperbolic sense. I mean their literal
00:00:21
Speaker
literal poisons. I mean that very literally. And it would behoove us for our health and our children's health to unlearn the habits that we have that predispose us to being systematically poisoned by these
Hidden Omega-6 in Foods
00:00:45
Speaker
poisonous fats. And these habits are unfortunately relying on other people to make our food, right? If you're buying restaurant food or takeout food or processed food,
00:01:04
Speaker
you are getting an inordinate amount of these poisonous fats that we'll discuss. And I'm sure many of you listening have heard this before, but it bears repeating again and again until we really have to hammer this home into people because I'll tell you,
00:01:22
Speaker
The last kind of few weeks I've been on a little, I've upped my game in terms of protecting myself and my family from PUFAs or polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are the omega-6 and predominantly the omega-6. And just when I started analyzing the foods we're eating on a daily basis in more detail, and I got a little bit of a shock
00:01:51
Speaker
of actually how much more poofers or polyunsaturated fatty acids, omega-6s were actually in our diet.
Omega-6 in 'Healthy' Foods
00:02:01
Speaker
I thought we had taken them out by not buying sunflower oil, not eating much at crappy restaurants or being very careful about what you order at the restaurant and not ordering takeout food, not buying
00:02:18
Speaker
things like tortilla chips with sunflower oil or ordering takeout with, you know, God knows what's in it. So when I started analyzing some of the, you know, the pates and the just the products that we were using,
00:02:35
Speaker
I basically saw that there's a lot more, they're in everything nowadays,
The Saturated Fat Debate
00:02:40
Speaker
right? And not necessarily added, but certain things. For example, just to give an example, duck liver pate, that has a lot of Omega-6s. I had bought lard to use to make potato fries, thinking, and I hadn't actually used it, I bought a bunch.
00:03:01
Speaker
with the intention to do potato fries, you know, the chips, which I love, who doesn't like. And it came to my attention that
00:03:12
Speaker
And I should have had this realization before, but sometimes you just have blind spots when you're going about your day. But the pigs that they make the lard from, what are they getting fed? Well, most often they're going to be getting fed a bunch of grain, which is very high on Omega-6. So that lard, I looked at the package. What I do now is.
00:03:35
Speaker
I look at the package and they show you total fats and they show you saturated
PUFAs and Cellular Damage
00:03:40
Speaker
fats. So I'm kind of the opposite. I'm looking at it and the smaller the proportion of saturated fat, the less I want to buy that product or use that product. So I'm like,
00:03:54
Speaker
the opposite. The reason they put the saturated fat on the, you know, as a subdivision of the fats in your food is because of all the saturated fat scare that happened, you know, since the 50s. And it's just hung around. But what we, and I'm just speaking to myself, not telling, this isn't medical advice or anything, or nutritional advice, but what I am doing is I'm actually using the saturated fat amount
00:04:24
Speaker
as an indication that that food is more suitable for a human that wants to stay healthy for the rest of their life. So let me go over the worst offenders and you can think about
00:04:39
Speaker
Are you using these oils or are these fats somehow making it into your diet? And I'll give you a little pointers where certain things may be in your diet and unbeknownst to you of sorts. So we'll start with the offenders because there's so many of them, right? We want to just kind of bring it to your attention in case you still haven't
00:05:04
Speaker
And even if you have gotten the memo, I know a lot of people I talk to have gotten the memo, but they, like me, mistake anything just by stopping buying sunflower oil for home for frying and cooking is enough. No, you have to remember.
00:05:24
Speaker
or sort of take into account how much are you eating food out? How much processed food are you buying? Because if it's a substantial portion, you could be easily getting 20, 30 or more grams of these poofers every day.
PUFAs and Inflammation
00:05:42
Speaker
And why is that bad? Let's actually go over once again why that is bad. Well,
00:05:48
Speaker
These are polyunsaturated fatty acids so they have multiple double bonds which makes them sort of bendy or we could say unstable. So they have more places where they can get oxidized by an oxidant and they can be, it's a process known as peroxidation, they can be damaged.
00:06:09
Speaker
just by sitting in your fat cells or just being metabolized by the mitochondria burned for energy in that process that causes a lot of byproducts that can be damaging to cellular organelles, to cell membranes, just to anything that they are getting contact with or are in close proximity with in close proximity to. So
00:06:39
Speaker
If these are circulating in your blood a lot, these PUFAs, they can be damaging your endothelial cells of your, basically of your blood vessels, right? They can be damaging your blood vessels. And when you talk about atherosclerosis, atherosclerotic plaques back in the day, they found cholesterol in these plaques. So they are like, oh, cholesterol is causing this. It's much more likely.
00:07:08
Speaker
if not the unequivocal that it's the poof as the polyunsaturated fatty acids that are getting oxidized and damaging our
00:07:18
Speaker
blood vessels and our organs. If you look at conditions when there's hyperlipidemia or a lot of high triglycerides, a lot of fatty acids circulating in the blood, very often there's some type of organ damage. Like in diabetes, there can be peripheral neuropathies and that's a lot of damage being mediated by these
00:07:42
Speaker
fatty acids. The other things, they are also precursors to inflammatory mediators. So let me just quickly bring up Ecosanoid. Ecosanoids. So you have your Ecosanoids, you have your
00:08:03
Speaker
uh uh what was it sorry one second so you have your acosanoids prostaglandins leukotrienes right so these are inflammatory mediators that the polyunsaturated fatty acids
00:08:18
Speaker
are precursors too. So very simply arachidonic acid can turn into these things, leukotrienes, prostaglandins. And these are, again, these are inflammatory molecules. They mediate inflammation in the body. So one of the sort of things that really drives aging and disease and dysfunction in the body
00:08:43
Speaker
is inflammation, oxidative stress inflammation. These are major things that we want to, so we want to reduce and remove all the factors that are causing inflammation that can be toxins, that can be these poofas, that can be, you know, being in the sun too long, especially, for example, if you have a lot of poofas stored on your body,
Critique of Dietary Guidelines on Fats
00:09:04
Speaker
and you're in the sun, the UV light is going to damage these and cause literal damage in your skin. So these are very unstable fatty acids you have to remember. And what's really crazy is just a quick aside before I get into the types of fats. I'm sure you know already most of the most common ones. But for whatever reason, I went to Wikipedia and I clicked on an article called Healthy Diet. And in there,
00:09:31
Speaker
There's recommendations by various bodies, including the World Harm Organization, WHO, and they tell you there that you should limit your intake of fats to no more than 30% of total caloric intake, preferring unsaturated fats to saturated fats, right?
00:09:57
Speaker
Why are people diseased and in really horrendous shape? The diseased fats are the highest they've ever been and we're the sickest and healthiest as a society we've ever been. It's because look at the recommendations from these major bodies. They're telling you preferring unsaturated fats to saturated fats.
00:10:22
Speaker
And then the other one that was interesting is if you scroll down the article, Harvard School of Public Health, the first recommendation, and I went to their website just to make sure it's current. This was retrieved 8th of August, 2022, but it's still the same. They haven't backtracked on any of these, but
00:10:45
Speaker
so eat healthy fats. Healthy fats are necessary and beneficial for health. Harvard School of Public Health recommends the opposite of the low-fat message promoted for decades by the USDA and does not set a maximum on the percentage of calories people should get each day from healthy sources of fat. Healthy fats include polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats found in vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, and fish.
00:11:15
Speaker
Foods containing trans fats are to be avoided, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Oh, no, no, not blah, blah, blah, blah. Foods containing trans fats are to be avoided while foods high in saturated fats like red meat, butter, cheese, ice cream, coconut and palm oil negatively impact health and should be limited. Interesting.
00:11:36
Speaker
So saturated fat is bad for your health, apparently. But poofers, polyunsaturated fatty acids, found in vegetable oils, not seeds and fish, are totally good. They're totally healthy, guys. And so these are these are
00:11:55
Speaker
Here is your reason why the majority of people now, at least in the USA, have a condition or something. Something is not right with them, right? And it's actually a smaller and smaller minority of people that are actually healthy, metabolically healthy and thriving. Since the beginning of government, people have been getting told this and that, and it's more often not
00:12:26
Speaker
harm them. So they were demonizing saturated fat, they were demonizing cholesterol. Then it was the low fat diet in the 80s. So fat was getting demonized. Then the whole grains were the best things since sliced bread and just constantly something is being pushed
00:12:54
Speaker
that is actually harmful. So we have to really stop and evaluate what are we doing on a daily basis in terms of our diet and lifestyle? Is this, are we doing it because it is truly healthy? Or is it just because an authority figure or a body told us to do that? And we just blindly trusted the science or
Omega-6 Rich Oils to Avoid
00:13:18
Speaker
something like that, right? So
00:13:21
Speaker
the worst offenders when it comes to the the oils and the fats to to avoid would be things like safflower oil which is 72 to 78 percent linoleic acid so this is that omega-6 that is really inflammatory and very easily oxidizable and peroxidizable and just
00:13:46
Speaker
The more of it you eat, you can rest assured the more health problems you're going to develop sooner or later. Evening primrose oil, which is apparently good for women's health or whatever, we're told, that's 65 to 80% linoleic acid.
00:14:04
Speaker
Then I'm going to skip the ones that are not too commonly used or known. Grape seed oils, almost 70% linoleic acid. Hemp oil, nearly over 50%. Wheat germ oil. Cotton seed oil, 54% linoleic acid. Corn oil. So here we're starting to, these are fairly used in the USA, corn oil. Walnut oil.
00:14:32
Speaker
I'll never believe anybody telling me walnut oil is gonna be good for me or good for my health. Soybean oil, 50% linoleic acid. Sesame oil, 45% linoleic acid. Someone tells me sesame oil, to use sesame oil because it's good for me as healthy omega-3s or whatever, I will laugh in their face. Say, no, you need to look into what these omega-6s
00:14:57
Speaker
are doing to your body. They're literally causing inflammation and damage to your organs and your tissues whilst they're in your body, literally. This is the biggest driver of disease coupled with a lot of toxicity because the more toxicity you have in your body, the less detoxed you are, the lower your antioxidant status is, the less able you are to deal with these
00:15:27
Speaker
oxidant or peroxidation byproducts from poofa damage and the more damage is going to get caused in your body.
00:15:39
Speaker
If your antioxidant levels are at a good level, you'll be able to protect yourself for longer than the other person whose levels are not good. The nutritional status is poor. But sooner or later, the damage will accumulate where it will probably become visible. And again, it's a matter of time. If you look at
00:15:59
Speaker
How many health conditions young people now are developing is, you know, never mind the kids, but, uh, you know, with autism ADHD and the allergies and all this stuff, but look at even like teenagers, uh, diabetes is getting diagnosed earlier and earlier and earlier autoimmunity. Even you have, what's it called? Um,
00:16:24
Speaker
Early on set out timers is a thing. It's huge like people are getting sicker and sicker younger and younger other things rice bran oil garbage poison these things are poisons yes they might have nutritional value but overall.
00:16:42
Speaker
The net gain, is it a gain or is it a loss when you take these things? My view is that it's an overall loss. So you might maybe get some vitamin E with these oils because a lot of them, or some of them, they use them to extract vitamin E out of. So you might get some vitamin E, maybe some other stuff in there. But is it a net gain? Having those, let's say 100 or 100 calories or 20 grams of the
00:17:11
Speaker
that particular fat or oil, I believe it's a net long-term, not necessarily right now, but overall long-term it's a net loss. Almonds, 24%. So a quarter of almonds fat is linoleic acid.
00:17:36
Speaker
Where we at? Where the hell did I? Okay. So canola oil, 17.8%. Sunflower oil, 20%. Chicken fat. This is actually, for me, it was another sort of come to Jesus moment. A few weeks ago, I was like, man, I was like, so into getting chicken wings, organic chicken wings. They're cheap. They, lots, lots of bones to give to the dog, lots of skin, which means lots of collagen. But.
00:18:07
Speaker
Then I realized, well, what are these chickens? Yes, even organic chickens are going to be getting fed quite a lot of grain. It's just the cheapest thing to, if you're not mass producing on a great scale, but
00:18:24
Speaker
If you're producing significant amounts of chicken, you're going to be using grain. There is no other way around it. I've actually started cutting back on the chicken, especially the chicken wings. Now the chicken pieces we get, the organic stuff, they have less skin, more meat.
00:18:49
Speaker
Yeah, that's what I've kind of switched to, but I generally just prefer beef because...
00:18:55
Speaker
You just don't have these problems as much for various reasons, including the fact that the cattle have multiple stomachs and whatever way the bacteria transform some of these fats into saturated fats. So there's actually less saturated fat.
Reevaluating Common Foods for Omega-6 Content
00:19:12
Speaker
I suppose even if the animals eat grain, some of that is getting converted, the Omega-6 is getting converted to saturated fat. So there's a lot of reasons why I prefer beef.
00:19:25
Speaker
Organize organic beef, especially ground beef because you get more collagen. It's a more balanced meal as opposed to just muscle meat and Then okay egg yolk is actually 60% in the lake acid. This is again something I hadn't really I didn't really know to be honest and it's kind of because I like eggs but now I'm I'm a little bit
00:19:51
Speaker
I don't limit them per se but I don't go crazy on the egg yolks basically.
00:20:07
Speaker
linoleic acid. And then here it says lard is only 10% linoleic acid, but again, this is probably old stats or wherever they got this data. I think this is BS because if these pigs are eating a ton of grains, then they're going to have much more omega-6 poofus or linoleic acid, right?
00:20:31
Speaker
So I wouldn't trust lard anymore. I don't think I'm going to be using the lard that I bought to make, to make chips, uh, fries. So yeah, so these are all the ones I listed. I well, except egg yolk, right? Egg yolk. I will eat continue to eat egg yolks. But the other stuff that I talked about here, grapeseed oil.
00:20:53
Speaker
Cotton seed, corn oil, soybean oil, sesame oil, almonds and almond oil, peanut oil, lard, linseed oil. I wouldn't even buy these things. Never mind use them.
00:21:09
Speaker
Now in restaurants, sometimes you're going to get a little bit, so you have to be cognizant of that. If I am going to a restaurant now, I will definitely have some vitamin E with me. Usually when we go to restaurants, I take a little bottle of supplements with just the basic things that we're going to take that day.
00:21:31
Speaker
Not that we're orthorexic, it's just we've been doing the supplementing thing for five, six years now so well that we're just good at it. It becomes habit. So a lot of these things, some of my clients, they forget at first, they forget to take their supplements and
00:21:49
Speaker
I just tell them, look, just stick with it for a few weeks. It will become second nature. And then you, it's like leaving, leaving the house. You check, got my keys, got my sunglasses, got my wallet, got my phone. And if you're going out for lunch, did we throw a few supplements in a little, in a little bottle, right? So definitely vitamin E. I'd be bringing to that or you take it in the morning.
00:22:14
Speaker
before lunch or dinner or whatever, just having your vitamin E stores can really protect from the peroxidation of these poofas when they're in your body and they're either stored or they're getting metabolized in some fashion. So those are the ones that would stay away like the plague, like literally this is
00:22:37
Speaker
I can't think of anything more destructive in the diet than without including other like
00:22:47
Speaker
actual poisons, you know, like ethanol and drugs and stuff like that, and pharmaceuticals. I'm talking about diet-wise, there is no more poisonous thing than this, than these fats that I talked about. And some people might say sugar, but the more I research it and experiment on myself, the more I realize that carbs are not really the problem.
00:23:15
Speaker
even like I eat a lot of honey now and some days I'll eat up to 300 grams 300 grams of honey and just feel really good I don't have blood sugar issues have lots of energy my brain is working really well and I believe if
00:23:34
Speaker
If you don't have any of these PUFAs in your diet, these Omega-6s, or as little as possible, sugar and carbs, they won't be problematic. In fact, there were some studies here I've been looking at. I'm probably doing an episode about it because it's so interesting, but I've got some studies here and papers. One of them is called
00:23:56
Speaker
Honey and diabetes the importance of natural simple sugars in diet for preventing and treating different types of diabetes So this is a treatment for diabetes, honey Right, honey is a treatment for diabetes I know people many people listening to that we're like that's what like are you are you crazy? Are you serious? It is true. It's in the It's in the what's the journal called?
00:24:27
Speaker
oxidative medical cell longevity, something like that. Oxidative medicine and cellular longevity. That's the journal 2018 where this paper was published. Oxidative medicine and cellular longevity. Excuse me. And then there was another paper that they cite. What's it called? Honey. So this is in the journal endocrinology and metabolic syndrome.
00:24:58
Speaker
which is all about this kind of stuff. Honey, this is the name of the paper. Honey has a sole treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. So they tried and there's studies and they're using fructose and stuff like that to treat diabetes.
00:25:18
Speaker
And the results are mixed because they only change small amounts of parameters. So if you take the seed oils out of a person's diet, I think you can get away with a lot and not only survive, but thrive, right? So yeah, that was my little tangent about sugar is not so bad.
00:25:45
Speaker
But in a context of a lot of Omega-6 poofers in the diet, it can be bad as well.
Healthier Fat Alternatives
00:25:54
Speaker
So the fats to eat are very few, and it's very simple. So we're talking butter, ghee,
00:26:03
Speaker
saturated animal fats, right, suet, which I'm not sure how common that is, but suet is good. And you can use olive oil. It still has some linoleic acids, something like 10 to 12% has some poofas, but not as much as other stuff. So you can use that.
00:26:25
Speaker
So yeah, so coconut oil has a little bit, like maybe 2% poofers, mostly saturated fats, a little bit of monounsaturated fats. So butter, what I use is butter, coconut oil, and it's kind of, it's kind of disappointing. Don't get me wrong. Like I'm not, I'm not saying it's easy to just switch to these things, but you know, I had a few jars of nice duck fat and it really gives,
00:26:55
Speaker
whatever you're cooking, the duck fat just gives it a pretty amazing flavor. So I have those now and I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them. I don't think I'm going to be knowing what I know. I kind of knowingly put this on the table for my family to eat. I just really can't knowing what I know, how damaging. So not only are these Omega-6 poofas
00:27:26
Speaker
me, what's the word, precursors for the inflammatory mediators that I talked about. So the acosanoids, prostaglandins, glucotrines, thromboxanes, right? So these are literally, it's like eating them is giving
00:27:46
Speaker
the building blocks for inflammation in the body to kind of simplify it. So if you know that, if you really know that, and the fact that they just are so fragile and they get damaged so easily, and when they do, they either deplete your antioxidants or if your antioxidants are already depleted, they not destroy the damaged stuff around them. And usually that's cellular components
00:28:09
Speaker
blood vessels, stuff, organs, stuff you don't want damaged. So if you look at Alzheimer's and dementia, I can almost guarantee that that's a big, big contributor, these seed oils. And then if you look at
00:28:34
Speaker
Sugar house sugar consumption disease go up in tandem it's similar if not exactly the same or very very similar with seed oil consumption and diseases so
00:28:48
Speaker
It looks like sugar is kind of now the scapegoat because the seed oils are government subsidized, the industry is in the USA and some other countries. And they're cheap, they're subsidized, there are a lot of calories in them and they can be put in everything.
00:29:09
Speaker
and it's just a great business model to make a bunch of money and maybe make some people sick along the way and then sell them some treatments for whatever ails them which is going to be a lot of different things. If we continue eating,
00:29:24
Speaker
dozens of grams of these daily. I think they were saying that the average person in the States or in the Western world eats something like 50 to 90 grams of these highly inflammatory, very easily damageable
00:29:45
Speaker
precursors to inflammatory mediators in the body. So that is a recipe for disaster. And I just wanted to share this with you. What I use is again, I just use butter. I use, we have some ghee, I don't use it as much, but we do have ghee.
00:30:03
Speaker
a little bit of olive oil here and there for salads, we use that. And what else? Coconut oil. So it's not as a versatile pantry as, let's say, our grandmas had. No, my granny would always cook with sunflower oil. And just certain things you can't really, with the coconut oil, you want to get deodorized if you want to use it for like,
00:30:30
Speaker
for savory dishes, so you don't want that coconutty flavor. But at the end of the day, using two, three, four different things that are not going to cause literal damage in your body is probably a good trade off than having a little bit more versatility in your cooking oil of choice.
Conclusion: Avoiding Seed Oils for Health
00:30:52
Speaker
And
00:30:55
Speaker
I think it's fairly easy to get rid of these from the home. We don't ever buy these things. It's not hard to adapt your cooking at home.
00:31:09
Speaker
to just using butter or coconut or whatever else. But you have to think about maybe you were one of those people that has to eat out more, let's say, because your job or your travel schedule or you're just so busy, you have two kids and you don't have time to cook every meal or you're just a habit. So if you're getting a lot of processed food or restaurant food or takeout food,
00:31:34
Speaker
You have to start thinking, I suppose, what are some ways to ameliorate the damage? So the way I like, if I go to a restaurant now, I might ask for grilled meat or fish that is on the grill. So I would avoid.
00:31:51
Speaker
potato chips, for example, things that you know will be cooked in oil that is could be a few days old and could be rancid or oxidized already. So you have to start thinking which foods like for example, if you go to like a salad salad bar in these stores that have like you can just get salad by the weight.
00:32:14
Speaker
A lot of those have canola or rapeseed oil. So you have to start understanding where could the poofers be hiding? And it's a lot of places. So you have to start really reading more labels, preemptively ordering food that you know will be less processed with them. And in the ideal situation, just cooking more meals from scratch, knowing what you put in them. So these are kind of the solutions. They're simple. They're not necessarily easy for everybody.
00:32:45
Speaker
But I think when you take into account the price you pay for the convenience or for the convenience, it's literally
00:33:05
Speaker
the price is too high. Once you understand the risks, I suppose if you don't understand the risks now, it's one thing. But if you understand the risks, knowing this information that I'm sharing with you, and you continue to consume large amounts of these PUFAs, Omega-6s, you're playing with fire. That's kind of how I'd say it's not really
00:33:33
Speaker
It's an inconvenient truth. We don't want to hear it. It's not fun to tell people because then you're just a party pooper. You're raining on my parade. I'm just trying to enjoy my crisps, my chips, my Doritos, my tortilla chips, whatever else. But
00:33:52
Speaker
And if you don't care about your health long term, that's one thing. But people, I think a lot of people do care about their health. They're just not made aware of this or they weren't made aware of the actual dangers because I think it's so easy to look at them.
00:34:07
Speaker
an oil it's an oil it's a food how bad can a food be but the the fact is that it can be very bad like if you start digging into it you'll see these things are very dangerous to have high amounts of in the diet right
00:34:26
Speaker
So I think I'll leave it there. I'm not sure what else I can add. I think we just have to keep spreading awareness about this. If you are already aware of this information, great. If you're doing something about it, even better, because again, not knowing the information is one thing, doing stuff about it is the much more important thing. So if you're doing the stuff,
00:34:49
Speaker
great, please maybe share this with someone you love that needs to kind of understand it a little bit more or hear it again, maybe to help them out. That's all we can do. We just have to keep spreading the information and hopefully with enough of a critical mass, we can change the trends because if people start demand, for example, I'll give you one final example.
00:35:18
Speaker
There's an organic brand of tortilla chips that they sell them. They're very nice. I used to eat them actually with chili flavor than paprika flavor. Very nice. And there's about 25, 30% of the product is sunflower oil. So I stopped buying them, but they also sell taco shells, which are with coconut oil. Now, obviously,
00:35:48
Speaker
There's production reasons for that because the taco shells have to be heated up in the oven so you don't want a bunch of sunflower oil to start leaking and it will be kind of gross. So there's a reason for that. But with a little bit of work, if people were demanding no seed oils in their
00:36:07
Speaker
in their tortillas that company could make that those chips with coconut oil we just have to maybe flavor them a little bit more or just add a little bit tiny bit more salt a bit more red pepper they will find ways to come out with a tortilla chip that is close maybe it will never be the same as a Dorito or these organic tortilla chips but it will be close enough people if people demand this
00:36:35
Speaker
They will get it. I've seen lace chips, you know, the Frito Lace. I've seen them with olive oil here. They're not the same. But again, if there's enough demand by people switching to things or stopping buying this poison, they will figure out ways to make healthier product until
00:36:53
Speaker
until then we have to just stop buying the stuff and cook our own food and just live like we did hundreds of years ago basically pretend there's no stores pretend there's no packaged food and it will make things a lot easier it's not always easy it's simple to say easy to say but not so easy in practice but if we can at least start taking measures now
00:37:19
Speaker
we will ameliorate a lot of the damage. For example, last point, if you're eating 50 or 80 grams of poofas every day, if you can bring that down to 10 grams, that is a huge reduction in your poofas. And that really will pay dividends for you in 10, 20, 30, 40 years time. And a lot of these things you won't really feel them now, but I
00:37:47
Speaker
When you're 40, 50, 60, or 10 years, 20 years down the line from now, you may. And this is what, again, we want to get out of this, wait for disease, and then treat symptoms paradigm that we've been indoctrinated with. We want to be proactive about our health.
00:38:09
Speaker
and try to, if we're healthy, don't just think it will stay like that forever. That's what I thought in my 20s and I was on a trajectory for very poor health had I not changed things. We have to, it's like the car. The car you're constantly checking, making sure that you have enough gas and every year you get it serviced and all that good stuff. You wash the car, all that stuff. So you take care of the car and make sure it's road worthy. But
00:38:38
Speaker
We are not taking care of, many people are not taking care of the main vehicle, the body. And we have to, we have to take care of it. And the one of the most important things is to not put this poison that is seed oils. It's straight up poison. So hope you found this useful. See you on the next episode.
