Elon Musk: "I Show You 15 Products You'll Stop Buying After You Know What Its Made Of"

you're going to try it but you don't like fish I'm like DC I'm afraid of that whole thing we very often don't even know what we're actually eating it's easy to assume that the food on our plates is straightforward wholesome and exactly what the packaging [Music] suggests after all why would it be anything else but behind the bright labels catchy slogans and mouthwatering pictures lies a hidden reality about many of the products we consume daily no poop flavor at all a reality that might surprise disgust or even shock you join us as we explore Elon

musk's list of 15 products you'll stop buying after you find out what they're made of most luxurious coffees begins its journey in the digestive system of a civit cat 15 the seafood industry when Elon said that he would reveal 15 products we'd stop buying once we learned how they're made he wasn't kidding at the very top of his list is seafood once a self-proclaimed fish lover Elon admitted in an interview that he couldn't stomach his favorite food anymore after uncovering the shocking truths about the industry you're going to try it but you don't like fish

I'm like DC I'm afraid of that whole thing they kept the secret and now it's time we talk about it the seafood industry may look pristine on the surface but behind the scenes it's a different story The Journey from Ocean to table is far from straightforward and is riddled with practices that are both unsustainable and frankly unsettling it starts with the catch small scale Fishers may handle their Hall with care but industrial fishing operations are another matter entirely massive trollers comb the oceans prioritizing quantity over quality in their Pursuit they capture everything in their path

tons of fish endangered species and unintended marine life this bycatch is devastating to Ocean ecosystems disrupting the delicate balance of marine life but the story doesn't end at Sea once caught the fish are transported to processing facilities in conditions that would make anyone cringe picture this fish dumped onto truck floors jostled together in tight unsanitary spaces often sitting in pools of dirty water it's not just unappealing it's downright unhygienic the lack of care during transportation and handling raises serious questions about what we're putting on our plates it's easy to turn a blind eye but the

hidden costs both ethical and environmental of this industry can no longer be ignored if you want to enjoy Seafood guilt-free the solution lies in choosing sustainable ethically sourced options or as Elon might suggest perhaps it's time to rethink fish altogether 14 margarin you all know that margarin is often marketed as a healthier alternative to butter but once you understand what goes into making it you might think twice before spreading it on your toast the Journey of margarin starts with vegetable oils like soybean sunflower or palm oil these oils undergo intense Heating and chemical processes including

hydrogenation to achieve that solid buttery consistency unfortunately this process often creates harmful trans fats which are notorious for raising bad cholesterol lowering good cholesterol and increasing the risk of heart disease but it doesn't stop there to make margarin visually peeling and palatable manufacturers use chemical solvents like hexane to extract oils followed by bleaching and deodorizing to remove unpleasant colors and smells let's not forget the emulsifiers and artificial colors added to achieve that smooth texture and bright yellow Hue it's a far cry from the simple churned cream that makes butter the story gets even darker with

the vegetable oils themselves many of these are derived from genetically modified crops treated with glyphosate a chemical linked to numerous health and environmental concerns combine this with the high levels of omega-6 fats found in margarine which can lead to inflammation and chronic illnesses like cardiovascular disease and diabetes and you've got a recipe for trouble to top it off preservatives like BHT flagged in studies for their potential toxicity and cancer promoting effects are added to extend shelf life all this effort just to produce a product that let's be honest doesn't even taste as good as butter

13 luak coffee have you ever heard of copi luak the coffee made from beans that have passed through the digestive system of a civet most luxurious coffees begins its journey in the digestive system of a civet cat at first it sounds like a quirky luxurious treat after all it's one of the most expensive coffees in the world with a single cup costing upwards of $35 the idea is that the Asian Palm civet a nocturnal animal native to Southeast Asia eats ripe coffee cherries and its digestive enzymes ferment the beans supposedly resulting in a smoother less

acidic [Music] coffee but behind this exotic story lies a bitter truth in the wild civits enjoy a varied diet of fruits insects and seeds however commercial copi luak Farms confine these solitary animals to tiny cages and force feed them coffee cherries to maximize production this unnatural diet leads to malnutrition and health issues for the civits moreover their nocturnal habits and need for solitary living are disregarded causing immense stress as they're kept awake for tourists to gwk at during the day adding insult to injury the copy luak industry is Rife with fraud studies estimate that over

80% of copy luak sold worldwide are fake often just regular coffee beans marketed at a premium price even when the coffee is authentic beans from cage civits are of inferior quality compared to those produced by Wild free roaming civets which naturally select the best cherries ethical coping luak is nearly impossible to find so why not opt for a high quality ethically Sauced coffee instead 12 Burgers if you are a burger lover it's time to take a closer look at what you're biting into while that juicy Patty might seem like the ultimate comfort food there are

plenty of reasons why Burgers especially from fast food chains should stay off your menu first let's talk about calories a single fast food Burger can pack over 1,000 calories half of your daily allowance combine that with fries and a soda and you've probably exceeded your entire calorie budget in one meal not to mention these burgers are loaded with cholesterol and sodium both of which can wreak havoc on your heart health high cholesterol increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes while too much sodium puts extra strain on your arteries that cholesterol is the main cause

of a heart attack or a stroke but here's where it gets even more [Music] unsettling that burger patty isn't just from one cow it's likely a mix of meat from several cows sometimes from different countries this increases the risk of contamination and the spread of harmful bacteria like ecoli speaking of which beef recalls due to ecoli are all too common and then there's the infamous pink slime an ammonia treated filler often added to meat to stretch production ammonia in your food 11 processed vanilla flavors when we talk about vanilla flavor we don't mean the vanilla

that comes from the sweet aromatic beans of the vanilla Orchid instead many of the vanilla flavored products you encounter are made with artificial ingredients and their Origins might surprise or even disgust you one unexpected source of artificial vanilla flavor is castori a secretion from the anal glands of beavers Yes you heard that right beavers use cerum to mark their territory but its scent has a unique quality that can mimic the aroma of vanilla while it's rarely used in foods today due to its expense just knowing this fact might make you think twice about where your

vanilla comes from more commonly AR icial vanilla is made from vanillin a synthetic compound derived from sources like lingin a byproduct of wood pulp or gu which comes from clove oil while these ingredients might not sound as shocking as cerum they're still far removed from the natural wholesome vanilla pods you might imagine this Reliance on artificial flavoring is part of a broader Trend in processed foods unlike mechanical processing which can preserve a food's natural qualities chemical processing strips away much of the nutritional value replacing it with synthetic additives artificial vanilla is a prime example of

this practice offering a cheaper and faster alternative to the labor intensive cultivation of real vanilla so next time you Savor a vanilla flavored treat take a moment to consider its Origins 10 tomato ketchup be honest how many times a day do you add Tomo ketchup to everything you eat whether it's french fries Burgers samosas or even a plate of Maggie ketchup seems to have become an Irreplaceable companion for all things Savory its sweet and tangy taste is undeniably satisfying but have you ever stopped to consider what's really inside that tempting red bottle spoiler alert it's

not as innocent as it seems store-bought ketchup is packed with sugar preservatives high fructose corn syrup and a staggering amount of sodium these ingredients May enhance the flavor but they can wreak havoc on your body just a few tablespoons can contribute to weight gain due to the sugar overload and lead to obesity over time plus that high fructose corn syrup it's linked to heart disease and an increase in triglycerides bad news for your cardiovascular health the acidity of ketchup thanks to Citrus and malic acids is another problem these acids can aggravate conditions like acid reflux

and heartburn especially for those with sensitive stomachs and let's not forget the preservatives in sodium which can cause inflammation joint problems and even increase the risk of kidney stones by contributing to calcium buildup in the body if that wasn't enough regular consumption of ketchup can also mess with your insulin levels the the excessive sugars and additives put unnecessary strain on your body potentially leading to long-term issues like diabetes nine red food dye now get ready for something really disgusting your favorite red foods and drinks might be dyed with crushed bugs many products on the market

use a red food dye derived from the coochini insect a tiny Critter found mainly in Peru and the Canary Islands the dye often labeled as Carmine cinal extract or natural red four is extracted by drying crushing and processing these insects shockingly it takes about 70,000 bugs to make just one pound of this vibrant red pigment kachal Dy has been used for centuries in the 1500s Europeans discovered that the Aztecs were using it to create stunning longlasting red Fabrics today however it's not just used for textile it's in your food cosmetics and even medication [Music] Coatings

lipsticks yogurts and candies are all common culprits while the dye doesn't pose any known health risks for most people it can trigger severe allergic reactions in some plus if you're vegan vegetarian or follow a Kosher diet this ingredient is definitely one to avoid here's the kicker while the idea of eating bugs might make your stomach churn the Alternatives could be even worse synthetic red dyes like red number 40 are made from coal or petroleum byproducts and have been linked to far more serious health risks including hyperactivity in children and potential carcinogenic effects eight canned mushrooms

if you don't want to eat maggots it might be time to rethink that can of mushrooms in your pantry while it sounds like the plot of a horror movie The Truth is that canned mushrooms are legally allowed to contain a certain number of maggots and mites according to the FDA it's economically impractical to eliminate all natural contaminants from food meaning some rather unsettling additions make it to your plate here's the breakdown in a batch of canned mushrooms an average of less than 20 maggots per 600 G is acceptable with no more than five being over

2 mm long and it doesn't stop at maggots the FDA also permits up to 75 mites per 100 gam of mushrooms yes those tiny spider-like arthropods could be lurking in your next stir fry the good news maggots and mites are generally harmless if consumed in small quantities and maggots are even considered safe to eat by themselves the bad news they can carry diseases if they've been in contact with rotting matter while the FDA assures us that these defects pose minimal risk to health the idea of munching on magot laced mushrooms is enough to turn most

stomachs the solution fresh vegetables by swapping canned produce for fresh options you can take control of what's going into your meals sure washing and prepping fresh mushrooms takes a little more effort but isn't it worth it to avoid unwanted extras in your [Music] dinner seven bread speaking of foods you should cut off the menu let's talk about bread the staple food we often take for granted while you might think store-bought bread is just a simple mix of flour yeast water and maybe a few additives the reality is far stranger believe it or not some brands

use human hair to make their bread softer and easier to handle so I decided really to sit down and read it and he says if you read the ingredient labels on a loaf of bread you will usually find an ingredient listed there as lyine the culprit here is an amino acid called lyine a common D conditioner that softens bread and speeds up production while elstein can be derived from various sources like duck feathers or synthetic processes human hair is often the cheapest and most efficient option much of this hair is collected from barber shops and

salons around the world particularly in countries like China it's then processed and added to bread dough leaving many of us unknowingly biting into an unsettling ingredient the good news is that not all bread contains lyine and when it does it's generally considered safe to eat regulatory bodies like the FDA ensure it meets strict Purity standards but even if it's technically safe knowing where it comes from can be a deal breaker for many if this Revelation has ruined your appetite for store-bought bread don't worry you've got options supporting local bakeries that use highquality natural ingredients is

a great alternative or better yet try baking your own bread at home it's easier than you think and you'll have complete control over what goes into it six shrimp farming remember when we talked at the beginning about the seafood industry and Elon Musk well we are not done with that yet while shrimp may be a favorite on dinner tables worldwide the process behind farming them has some serious environmental and ethical concerns that might make you reconsider your next shrimp cocktail farm-raised shrimp also known as aquaculture shrimp have grown popular as a solution to over fishing

on the surface it sounds like a wi less strain on marine ecosystems and a sustainable way to meet Global demand but dig a little deeper and you'll uncover a murky reality most farmed shrimp are imported from Southeast Asia and Central America regions where Mangrove forests are being destroyed to Make Way for shrimp ponds mangroves are vital ecosystems that store carbon and provide habitats for countless species and their destruction releases massive amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere then there's the pollution shrimp Farms dump waste chemicals and hormones into local Waters damaging nearby ecosystems and threatening Aquatic

Life add to this the unethical practices Some Farms have been accused of such as human trafficking and forced labor and it's clear that shrimp farming isn't the guilt-free solution it's often portrayed to be even wild caught shrimp have their problems trolling methods destroy ocean flaw and result in bycatch non-target species caught and killed in shrimp Nets it's wasteful destructive and puts even more pressure on marine life so what's a Shrimp Lover to do luckily there are plant-based shrimp Alternatives made from from conj root and other Innovative ingredients five gummy candy gummy candy might look fun

and harmless but don't let their colorful fruity appearance fool you they're not doing your body any favors whether it's gummy bears worms or any other squishy treat these sugary snacks are loaded with artificial ingredients and can wreak havoc on your health first let's talk digestion when you eat gummy candy you're consuming a mix of gelatin sugar and artificial additives once inside your stomach they don't break down easily imagine leaving a few gummies in a glass of water overnight they swell up turning into a bizarre jelly-like substance that's what happens in your stomach the result bloating

discomfort and even constipation these candies don't just sit lightly they sit heavily and then there's the sugar gummy candy is packed with it causing a in your blood sugar levels that gives you a quick energy rush but leaves you crashing soon after over time regular consumption of such high sugar snacks can contribute to weight gain insulin resistance and an increased risk of diabetes plus those fruity flavors you love they're just artificial chemicals far removed from anything resembling actual fruit let's not forget the additives and food dyes which are linked to hyperactivity in kids and other

health concerns combine all these factors and gummy candy turns out to be a recipe for Digestive trouble poor energy levels and long-term health issues four hot dogs if the composition of burgers and gummies surprised you wait until you hear about hot dogs this iconic BBQ staple might look innocent in its tidy bun but the truth about what goes into them is far from appetizing hot dogs are made through a process called meat Emulsion where pork beef or poultry is finely ground with fats spices and curing agents into a batter likee consistency but here's the kicker

many hot dogs especially cheaper ones include parts of the animal that you'd rather not think about like gristle fat skin and even organs mechanical processes strip meat from Bones often sweeping up connective tissues blood vessels and other scraps in the process add a blend of sodium nitrates and artificial flavorings and you've got yourself a hot dog speaking of nitrates and nitrites these preservatives while keeping your hot dog shelf stable and colorful come with a darker side they've been linked to an increased risk of cancers especially in the digestive tract pair this with the high sodium

and saturated fat content in hot dogs and you're looking at a recipe for cardiovascular issues high blood pressure and obesity what's more a study by clear Labs found that 2% of hot dogs contain human DNA while this doesn't mean hot dogs include human flesh it does highlight concerning hygiene standards during processing alarmingly even some vegetarian labeled hot dogs tested positive for human DNA raising more questions than answers three chewing gum the last thing that would come to mind when you think of chewing gum is a sheep however you might be surprised to learn that lanolin

a waxy secretion from the sebaceous glands of sheep's skin could be a part of your favorite gum lanolin which is commonly used in skin care products to keep your skin soft and hydrated also plays a role in making gum chewable by being a component of the gum base that's not exactly something you'd expect in a sweet minty stick of gum is it modern chewing gum is a far cry from its Stone Age ancestor which was made from the sap of the sapadilla tree today gum base is primarily composed of synthetic materials like polyisobutylene a rubbery

substance also used to make inner tubes and polyvinyl acetate another synthetic resin these materials are combined with plastic exercises to achieve the perfect balance of firmness and elasticity making gum soft and pliable once warmed in your mouth manufacturers also blend in sweeteners flavors and other additives to create the irresistible varieties we see on store shelves but here's the kicker since gum base is considered an industry standard manufacturers aren't required to disclose its specific components so while you're enjoying that burst of flavor you're also chewing on a mix of synthetic rubber resins and possibly lanoline two

energy drinks it must have happened to you that after a long day or a sleepless night you've reached for an energy drink to keep yourself going those brightly colored cans promise a quick boost but have you ever wondered what's actually inside from toine to artificial colors the ingredients in energy drinks are as complex as the Buzz they provide and not always in a good way let's start with torine an ingredient often highlighted on the can torine naturally occurs in foods like Meat and Fish and your body uses it to regulate energy production balance fluids and

process bile acids the torine in energy drinks is usually synthetic or animal derived which might not be a problem on its own however it's the other ingredients that raise eyebrows and energy drinks often contain high levels of caffeine and sugar or Worse artificial sweeteners and chemical additives while these drinks can provide a temporary energy boost they can also cause dehydration Jitters and difficulty sleeping especially when consumed in large quantities over time excessive sugar can contribute to weight gain insulin resistance and dental problems while too much caffeine can elevate your heart rate and blood pressure for

children and teenagers these drinks are even more problematic according to the American Academy of Pediatrics young people should avoid energy drinks altogether due to their stimulant effects and potential health risks even for adults it's worth monitoring your caffeine and sugar intake from these beverages to avoid unwanted side effects one fish sticks when was the last time you reached for a box of fish sticks convenient crispy and a childhood favorite for many they've become a staple in freezers worldwide but before you dip that breaded bite into tartar sauce let's take a closer look at what's really

behind those golden crusts first the fish itself many fish sticks come from farm-raised fish which might sound harmless but often raises serious concerns in Fish Farms the diet is far from natural relying on soy o corn and even antibiotics to prevent disease in overcrowded unsanitary [Music] conditions this leads to fish that lack the omega-3 fatty acids essential for heart health meaning you're not getting the nutritional benefits you might expect worse still some Brands fail to disclose the source of their fish leaving you guessing about what you're eating then there's the frying process fish sticks are

typically fried and packed with unhealthy fats including trans fats and saturated fats we are going to add our fish sticks to the air fryer make sure not to overcrowd them or stack them up because the way the air fryer works it circulates hot air these fats increase the risk of heart disease stroke and obesity a serving of fish sticks can also contain around 9 G of fat with 2 G being saturated fat not exactly heart friendly sodium is another sneaky culprit with around 300 of sodium per serving fish sticks can easily push you over your

daily limit high sodium intake is linked to high blood pressure a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease have you ever wondered what's really inside the foods you eat every day let us know in the comments And subscribe to our channel for more
