do you want to talk about seed oils let's get into it so seed oils are things like corn canola sunflower safflower soybean peanut oils they are oils from plant seeds the first real seed oil to enter the human diet was 1911 Proctor and Gamble made Crisco right and that was um a seed oil um in like a a white sort of form that uh that mimic butter for humans and then krisco was part of a big marketing campaign where Proctor and gam was trying to tell people is better than butter or it it stays um
fresh longer than butter and there was this big confusion that happened but you know 120 years ago humans did not eat seed oils and this is an interesting point of reference to consider if you think about the health of humans in 1900 heart disease which is heart attacks Strokes all these cerebrovascular um issues were were a fraction of what they are today they were vanishingly rare in 1900 a lot of people don't know this in 1900 essentially very few doctors had even seen a heart attack in their patient obesity was incredibly rare 120 years ago
so if somebody did have a heart attack in 1900 what was the cause there are so many things that could cause a heart attack but this is pre this right right who knows I mean um I think that heart attacks were incredibly rare in 1900 people could have had a heart attack because of stress or lack of sleep other toxins in the environment could have contributed to a heart attack like Mercury toxicity or heavy metal toxicity right there says in the early 19 heart heart attacks rates were significantly low L compared to later decades as
heart disease was not a leading cause of death at the time instead infectious disease like pneumonia tuberculosis were the per meaning heart attacks were considered uncommon in the early 20th century but saw a substantial rise throughout the century becoming the most common cause of death by mid century what happened in the mid-century these Foods happened processed foods happened that's the major thing plus you know we can think about introduction of pesticides introduction of um other foods that are more contain with uh problematic things like heavy metals in the human diet but at a broad level
Ultra processed foods came into the human diet over the last 120 years and Seed oils came into the human diet over the last 120 years food dyes mono and diglycerides all of these ingredients that your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize have become part of the human diet the majority of our diet so why did companies use them is it purely because it makes the taste better is it because it's more you know enjoyable is it because it's more addicting is it because because of what what are the all of the above they're cheaper they have a better
shelf life they taste better and they're more addicting so recently evidence has come out which is I think we need to corroborate this but there was a lawsuit that recently was filed and the lawsuit alleges that many of these big food companies craft ConAgra Nestle actually have been working with Scientists to develop foods that are hyper palatable potentially even using things like eegs so an EEG is an electroencephalogram it's something we do in the hospital when we're looking for seizures in a patient's brain mhm but there's the possibility there are rumors that these food companies
have actually been using brain scans like this to see how eating a pringle affects your brain and to engineer foods like this to light up your brain in the maximum way possible this is how Sinister this is and this is I guess sort of legal because we have an open food system and there's nothing illegal about a pringle but if these food companies are actually making these Foods intentionally to light up your brain and make them make them hyper palatable and hyper addictive we are really being poisoned it's really pretty crazy so okay so let
me go into a different so so far was addicting shelf life cheaper mhm what was the other one hyper palal and addicting yeah okay have you ever thought about starting in a a drink company or energy drink company no because I think that your energy should not need to come from a drink right our I I think that when you have energy it comes from the mitochondria of yourselves working right and I don't don't use energy drinks I know that people need to use energy drinks but energy drinks are in some ways a crutch right
it's we're using something because we are feeling low because we're having a crash in the afternoon because we are not having enough energy enough mental Clarity enough hootspa right I remember when we were talking about potentially creating an energy drink and we flew out and we sat down we tasted a bunch of different flavors and then the guy was very honest he was straight up and he said look when it comes down to drinks people buy it not because it's good for them they buy it because it tastes good T so if you can find
a way to it's important to make it more taste that's something that I'm willing to drink it two three times a day then make me feel like it's somewhat good for me psychologically I'll feel like I'm compensating for this is good for me because if I take it I'm getting vitamins right right so if you actually made a drink that was good for you it probably wouldn't taste good and you wouldn't be addicted to it and maybe you wouldn't even need it exactly why do you need an energy drink three times a day is the
ultimate question there why do humans need so many energy drinks why are we so tired somebody may say what's wrong with us hey guys I am Paul saladino you can find me on man if you have any questions about diet Health recovering from chronic illness or autoimmune disease I'm excited to connect with you guys all there and I'll see you in there if you enjoy this video you want to watch more videos like this click here and if you want to watch the entire podcast click here a [Music]
