Dr EricBerg thank you for your amazing tips and content that you give us for free. I just want to ask if it is possible to add an automatic translation option for Bulgarian language. I am not familiar with the process of video-translation, but if it’s as simple as choosing language options I would really appreciate if you can do that! Thank you in advance! And thank you again for the valuable knowledge you share with us!
@@eSKAone-i want to see a person, 25+ years old, who never did this in their life with a normal-type of parents (i mean average parent behavior, without having any obsessive-compulsive disorders) :)
I used to work as a medic and occasionally picked up elderly patients at nursing homes to transport them to a doctor's appointment. The type of food they receive is criminal. I used to listen to the elderly while I was driving, heard their complaints from the back of the ambulance - broke my heart - they do not care about these people....as a side note: I was fired from this job because one elderly lady I transported asked me to drive through a specific part of town, to see the house she was born in one last time. I did, we were 5 minutes late for her appointment, I was fired as a result. The lady passed away several weeks later. I would do it again.
Yeah that could be any one of us one day. I wonder if the people that fired you even considered that Thought. It's good to hear there's a few people that still don't have Corporate Sludge running through their veins left. It's a good thing what you did. 😉
Nursing home food killed my grandfather. He checked himself in at 96 because he had leg injuries from several farm accidents over the years. He was farming 5 acres of land by himself until he was 94. Other than the legs, he was in good shape health wise. He ate mostly homemade soup at home, particularly chicken and beef. When he went into the nursing home, they fed him highly processed, trans fat types of food. He ended up having gall bladder problems and died from that. He had family that lived to be well over 100, such as his mother (116), a cousin (111), etc and would have probably been the same way if not for processed food.
In Canada, Death Canada, forces all nursing homes public and private must feed the residents based on their death diet. Going into a nursing home is a death sentence.
My grand father lived for 104 years without bp , sugar or any surgery . He strictly told us not to eat can food, chips, sodas , donuts .. always eat home cooked food with healthy fats like ghee,farm grown veggies , fresh cut fruits rather packed juices , running water fish that contains lots of omega 3 , eat seasonal fruits and veggies don’t eat something that have been grown forcefully in odd season .. every food has its own nutritional value
@@P3trarch As a non-expert, It's mostly because canned foods have too much added salt, and sugar. Not to mentioned loss of nutrients caused by the process itself. Which would mostly be from boiling. Though if one has limited choices, when eating canned vegetables, drink the juice. That's where most the nutrients are.
@@fritzidler9871I usually rinse the canned vegetables because of the sodium i'm sure it's not the healthiest thing to consume on a regular basis. Thank you for answering.
@@P3trarch yes, i appreciate your question and their answer! I finally started checking sugar content and suchlike on my canned fruit and such a couple years ago. I HAD been getting "in heavy syrup" and all that before, gah!
Thank god that you are out there informing us. I’m 77 and had a widow maker heart attack 9 months ago. They put a stint in my main artery as it was totally blocked. The doctor said I was 15 minutes from death when I arrived at hospital. In the hopital, they gave me margarine, toast, cereal and orange juice. No eggs. They wanted me to go to their dietitian to get advise on how to eat. I didn’t. I’m on an intermittent fasting carnivore diet including grass fed beef and non GMO eggs. I lost 30 lbs and feel great. Thank you, thank you, thank you. John Toronto Canada
I'm 18 right now if I happen to have a heart attack from transfa can they clear the blockage and ill be fine? Have to stick to this until I find a good job and get my own food instead of my parents getting garbage.
As a truck driver i have more chance of getting heart attack, since i found your channel my shopping and food consumption started to be healthier. Now I can fall a sleep faster and wake up rested, also i noticed my sudden heart pulsations decreased since i stopped soda drinks. Thank you for sharing the truth.
I'm a trucker as well. I did on the road trucking for two years straight, and practically lived in that truck for 75% of the time. The past six months I had bought a renogy 3000w inverter, a cast iron skillet, and a single burner cuisinart hot plate. I cooked nothing but butter fried eggs, grassfed butter and grassfed red meats from ruminant animals, organic grassfed milk (and recently A2 milk), and had fruits and honey at the end of it for occasional carbs. I didn't need adderall after eating butter fried eggs for two months straight, I lost six inches of truck food blubber, my sleep apnea went away, I could wake up with no brain fog, I gained 15 pounds of muscle (former bodyweight was 135), higher testosterone levels, less mood swings and more. Walmart is ok for some organic foods, but you really have to find where you can park bobtail or what place has accommodations for 75 feet of truck and trailer.
God bless all truckers and i hope you spread the word for all truckers! My dad was a trucker and had colon cancer and got his colon removed and uses a bag for life!
We need a major movement to get rid of joe biden before he destroys our country with inflation, high interest, illegal immigration which brings in 100s of Chinese!
People need to be more educated and they need to care. The information is available , but the masses do not want to hear about it. They want to buy their crappy food, for cheap as they get fatter and want more crap for their bucks. That is our reality. The jabs, just showed us that. Most people are painfully ignorant sheep.
Time for class-action lawsuits against food companies for mislabelling their ingredients. Lawsuits on the same scale as those against tobacco companies.
Only thing a lawsuit will accomplish is it will make lawyers richer, it will do nothing to help you or me or anyone else. So stop it with this lawsuit mentality so prevalent in this country.
@@MJorgy5 to right I’ve said for a long time there’s worse food out there than cigarettes.. the governments don’t want people to live long after there tax paying working life..
There is a line between mislabeling and not being clear . These people know how to avoid lawsuits.....they have for a long time. It is up to the buyers to get informed and educated. No one makes you buy their products. No lawsuits here......The basic content is in the label. The details do not have to be.
I cut out excess sugar, pasta, breads and started paying better attention to labels for “added sugar.” Also added some vitamins Dr Berg suggested. Results: fasting blood sugar 88-110 down from 130s-150s. A1C only down 0.2 to 6.6. Weight 108 down from 121 in 4 months(I’m 5’5”, 61 yrs). Time to work on this stuff now. Feels like it never ends tho😢 The food industry does us no favors. Thank you for the education you provide Dr Berg!
High-fat low-carb diets make you fat and sick (which ist why you need a calorie restrictrion). Only vegan low-fat high-carb diets are healthy and reverse insulin resistance, overweight, etc. without reducing calories. Humans are not meant to eat animals, that's why animal products and fatty diets cause all diseases. Our natural food are starchy carbohydrates. Fat causes insulin resistance.
I was at a major (tri-state #1) medical center recently (visiting) and the patients were all being served high fructose corn syrup and omega-6 fatty acids. I was able to get the patient just some meat and cheese by making a narrow request. The "nutritionist" was reluctant to approve it. "Follow the money" leads to dark places.
Medicaid corruption is terrible. Same problem with the indigent or helpless. They get put on and then blackmailed and deprived of powerful brain drugs they are involuntarily made dependant on. The state sees you as a liability and works to hasten your death once they have extracted all financial value from you and checked the boxes. There is no prospect of recovery for mental health patients that the state oversees. They look to get them off the books. The horiffic evil abuse that takes place in this system is bloodcurdling.
@Angie what do you use the Beef Tallow for other rhan frying? Do you bake your own bread with it? I just read some people use it as a skincare cream mixed with essential oils
@Angie Thanks so much. I do mostly low carb too, but only make homemade things and do make bread.. it always calls for oil. Instead of olive oil, I was wondering if the tallow could be replaced. I'll look it up. I'm definitely going to get some. I know the ones in control of our "Food" have Lied about Everything.
In India, there is an opposition by big food brands against a suggested govt bill to put health labels on food. Tells you how much these companies care about their consumers. I am thankful to my wife for talking sense to me and making me quit refined sugar, refined flour completely and deep fried food completely. She has replaced all our snacks with things like homemade popcorn, seed mix, dry fruits etc. We cook food only in ghee or olive oil. We take stevia or jaggery as alternate to sugar, we buy our grains and get them ground from a nearby shop, and we prefer water over any other drink 90% of time. And ofcourse, excercise. Small changes make a big difference.
Dr. Berg! I want to THANK YOU! Thanks to you and learning about intermittent fasting, I went from being 309lbs in February 2022, to now currently being 200lbs! Thank you so much. It was hard to get exercise due to all the knee pain I was having. And now that I’m feeling a lot better I started to incorporate exercise! Finally! Whew! 😅THANK YOU again so much! I’m excited! -50lbs more ⬇️ here I come!
Good for you Jessica! Congratulations! Once you get that exercise going you will feel so much better. Don't give up on it. It's easy to do. The exercise will save you and sustain you if you keep at it even when it's hard. Especially when it's hard. Positive energy your way. 🥏🙏
WOW!!!! This is fantastic, Jessica! I'd love to hear about your journey if you're willing to share! Please use this link www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story
Since discovering Dr. Berg's channel here a little over a month ago, my whole lifestyle has changed. Threw out corn oil and replaced it with organic virgin olive oil, got rid of my "fat free" nestle coffee mate creamer, cut out all sugar and 90% of carbs, and got my elderly parents on a very similar cleansing and healthier diet along with smarter food choices to consume and it made all the difference. They haven't used their diabetes pills (which they've been living on taking them multiple times daily for the past 20+ years) in over a month as the readings are always at or bellow 120 when theirs would be between 150-220 daily before. They feel great and lost a lot around the waist and feel healthier. Dr. Thank you, you are God sent 🙏 with your invaluable information changing lives daily.
Assisted living residents are essentially waiting for death to come take them. I don't think the quality of their diet is of great concern to them. Just that dinner tasted good, or bad.
Well what about the big candy dishes of chocolates that are at the check out desks of the hospital radiation clinics and the chemotherapy clinics? Cancer thrives on sugar.
I was 166.9 pounds on March 27th I decided to do intermediate fasting 16/8 and now I am 152 pounds! Thank you, Dr. Berg. I eliminated starches and sugars except for liquid stevia
Try monk fruit. You can get it as a powder and it has a very similar flavour and intensity as stevia with a tiny bit less aftertaste (not that stevia has much)
I started following Dr Berg when he had less than 3 million followers like 3 years ago. And now he’s close to 10. Well deserved success. Best one in the industry.
I love this channel. I think alot of people want to eat clean but either dont know where to start, are over whelmed, or because theres been no real nutritional education out there. This a great place to start.
Another deterrent for many people is the higher cost of healthy, whole (unprocessed) foods. Sadly, convenience is one of the major attractions of junk food, whether from the grocery market or the fast food drive-thru.
I appreciate this video. I’ve been SUPER stressed out these last few weeks and I have been eating HORRIBLY. Processed foods, fast foods, junk, candy, you name it!! I have to get myself back on track and realize I’m only hurting myself even MORE on top of the stress. Thanks for sharing ❤
I started calling and thinking of processed foods etc as poisonous garbage. I've been doing it so long it's ingrained in the brain. Makes it easier for me to avoid all that. I see it and the first thing I think is poisonous garbage.
Same been off my carnivore diet for a couple weeks and wow the joints sore again my get up and go got up and went without me. I'm back on again a week and feel better already.
I purchased Archer Grass Fed Beef Sticks minis from Costco. I thought it was a healthy snack. After this video, I checked the package right under where they wrote " PROUD OF THESE INGREDIENTS" the second ingredient is Encapsulated Citric Acid. As they say hidden in plain sight . Thank you dr.Berg once again
Wow, they just never stop looking for ways to profit at the expense of our health. It's insidious. Thank you AGAIN Dr. Berg for giving us the insight we would not normally have on these very important matters!!
*They* feed us to make us sick then prescribe drugs that make us sicker, then prescribe more drugs that make us more sick. At 56, I take one prescription due to removal of my thyroid gland (sure would like to have that back!), and I follow Dr Berg’s advice. Life and death is at the end of your fork, the bottom of your cup, and the edge of your spoon. Therefore, FILL THEM WELL!
Reminds me of when they put mercury in cosmetics or dental fillings, or asbestos-contaminated talc power. They knew it would lead to long term health issues and ultimately an earlier death, yet they still persisted.
Fear is a good motivator! I'm listening Dr Berg, and I'm making more changes today! I was 240# and now down to 185# and feeling good, fasting is the key!
@@marinelagarza-ponce109 I only eat from noon to 7pm, nothing after and nothing before. I even have alarms set on my phone for noon, 6:30pm (to remind me I have 1/2 hour left to eat), then at 7pm. This helped immensely!
@@nanbal2006 I switched from watching calories to watching carbs. I started eating a big salad like Dr Berg everyday whenever I can, then a palm size of protein, usually salmon or a burger. And I love strawberries! Sugar has been the hardest thing to give up with my coffee every morning, and I still cheat now and again. At 66 it's hard to give up everything I've enjoyed almost my entire life! With that said, I look forward to holidays and family get togethers where I allow myself a few "old treats".
Some people may be skeptical of 'organic'. I've worked in a organic food processing plant for 6 years. Organic is real, it's a thing. The requirements are pretty strict to have organic certificates.
@vchafab Thanks for that info. We pack various dry superfoods and VCO.. I have no knowledge of agricultural products. However, I'm sure there's some benefit to organic beef over non. Even it's it just the way they control the environment its produced in.
I'm one of those skeptics. Just look up into the sky at the poison they've been pummeling us with daily fire YEARS: How is ANYTHING that's grown outside under that shat, "Organic"? But no one cares about the skies being criss-crossed with cute little designs these heartless pilots draw at times...
Tell someone to eat an organic apple and then a conventionally grown apple, they'll know organic is a real thing. Even my guinea pigs 100% prefer organic fruits and vegetables.
When I was 45, my blood work came back with horrific cholesterol numbers. The one big change I made was cutting out microwave popcorn which I was having 3 to 4 times a week. Six months later when I was tested again, my numbers were perfect! That goop in microwave popcorn is poison.
Thank God for the woman who came before me in our family. They taught us to cook and bake from scratch using natural ingredients. Lived on small farm most of our childhood. Raw milk, fresh eggs, garden, fresh killed chicken and animals raised for the freezer.
In South Africa my country an old woman recently died, she was 128 years old her name was Johanna Mazibuko. She grew up in the farm eating spinach and other vegetables. She died two months before turning 129 year's on the 03 March 2023. Google her name to see more.
Back in the early 90's I worked for a natural yogurt maker. One day our mechanic, who also worked for other companies as well, came in with a huge lump of fully hydrogenated food oil he had picked up at another of the food companies he worked for. It was like a lump of grey/white plastic. Quite hard. We all stood around wondering how us humans had been so programmed that we would eat that.
Found these products make fine lubricants for low speed machinery… automatic garage doors, bicycles, sewing machines and suspension systems where you don’t want it flying off
Very honest of you to admit! I myself horrified myself after eating, say, an oven pizza - and then realising it serves 4! A good tip that I have adopted is use your large plates to serve your salads/veg, and a very small plate for everything else (per person). I detest how food companies are making everyone ill, just to increase the profit for the shareholders. I bet the ones at the top, don’t eat their own products!
There was a book that mentioned how people that developed potato chips and other snack foods actually did not eat what they worked on because they engineered it to be addictive. (I think the words salt and sugar were in the title)
@@davidcatlett4052 here in the UK one company advises “Once you pop, you can’t stop”! And they are correct. Before I just stopped buying them, I would be like, “go on then, just one more” to realise the tube was empty!
@@catchacow1927 Yeah, that can happen. Try this, and I swear to you, I'm not being condescending: pour out a little of what you want into a bowl instead of just keeping the package open. It'll give your body time to catch up and tell you when you've had enough. I know it's so simple it sounds like I'm talking down to you in recommending it, but I swear it can help. If you want more, get a little more, just don't keep the package open. Maybe have some fruit with it too. Unless one has health problems to the point you have to just stop with unhealthy food choices, it's possible to indulge. Just as long as you vary your diet and don't eat a lot of the unhealthy stuff every day.
This was an amazing talk. Thank you. I’m a lunch so called lunch lady at an Elementary school in Washington State. I listen to you for many years now, and I’ve actually followed a lot of your recommendations. I have a rare blood cancer, but I have relied on supplements, therefore I am not on any medication’s at this time. The point I’m trying to make is it breaks my heart every time I see these children coming through the line to pick up their food, knowing, in my heart of hearts, how are setting these children up for disaster and an unhealthy future. I wish I knew what to do who do I go to? I want to help these kids I just don’t know what to do.
I'm sorry to hear about your health problem. Have you considered adding cancer fighting supplements such as broccoli sprouts, turkey tail mushroom extract and turmeric to your diet?
@@JilleneLuce thank you I love your response, actually, I’m quite healthy and very strong. It is a state of mind I’ve chosen not to let this disease get the best of me. I am working on speaking out. I just have to find the proper resources.
@@normastone1044 thank you Norma for your response, it’s funny you’re talking about the supplements, I take all of them that you listed above. I’m particularly fond of the mushroom extract and of course to work as well. Thank you again I appreciate it.
Is there an administration at the school or education board that can provide nutritional content of the food in lunch program? Maybe having that information and providing research of the necessary nutrients for children to have and others to avoid. Maybe taking it to parent council so they can advocate with you to get it to the right decision makers.
I just finished watching your video on trans fats being the #1 worst food for heart health, and I must say, it was a real eye-opener! The way you broke down the science behind why trans fats are so harmful, and how they impact our cardiovascular system was incredibly informative. It's alarming to realize how common these fats are in everyday foods. Your tips on how to avoid them and make healthier choices are definitely going to be useful in my daily life. Looking forward to more such enlightening content!
Even our waters are polluted. City water is full of hormones and other chemicals in low doses. It's available online. Check what your city checks for in the water or adds in. You will be shocked to see, it's not just H2O
I had a HA in 11/22. In ICU the 'heart healthy' breakfast was an English muffin with margarine. Mashed potatoes, and home fries (all 3 on the same plate) and a fruit cup with fruit swimming in sugar syrup. No meat. No green veggies. I didn't eat it. The nurses were perplexed. I asked for a couple hard boiled eggs, they laughed out loud and said 'NO way' with your heart condition.
I am from India. Back in 80s and 90s there was a cooking medium by the name Dalda. It was made of palm oil hydogenated. A cheap alternative to the amazing pure ghee. My mom used to use it as it was promoted as a pure thing which can be used to make traditional dishes. Its been 20 years since we stopped using it. Our parents were fooled. And they genuinely thought they are doing the best for their kids. We belonged to middle class. Working father and mother. Even $1 was spent with extreme care then.
@@Ja5pr33t Apparently Dalda now os Trans Fat free. But I dont trust anymore. Coconut Oil, Mustard Oil and Ghee. Maybe Olive Oil. All of this in moderation.
My daughter switched to ghee after doing research on how butter is also not a good thing. It's important to read everything and know what is good and bad. I actually taught my Mom how corn starch was better than flour for thickenings. We can always learn.
Yikes! I was recently in the hospital for a triple bypass and the food they gave me was ridiculous. It was everything you were not supposed to eat. Luckily it was only for 5 days
@@traceylok675 Supposed healthy snacks can be worse than choc bars, as can be high carb foods. Research so you can be informed well, your authorities are deceiving you all. Its frightful.
I've told my family that if I have to go into hospital for any reason I want them to bring me healthy, low carb food to eat. I refuse to eat the carb laden slop that they serve up in UK hospitals.
My grandfather, who died a very long time ago, lived to 93. I think he had some bad habits that prevented a longer life but all his life he never ate junk food because basically there wasnt much of it around to eat. He ate original, real food and didnt have any major health problem until six months before he died. In my generation its almost the opposite, we run on junk food and original food has been sidelined. Look at the full hospital parking lots and doctors you have to wait months to see because their appointments are full. What else needs to be said?
If your grandfather lived to 93, his kid should live longer about 120, and his grandkid (you) should live longer to about 140, and so on Right? Instead every generation is living less. People are dying in there 60's, 50's, 40's from cancer and other diseases from the food. Unbelievable we haven't went to war yet about these lies. Everybody should be able to grow their own food in their backyards.
@@BrightthgirB I read the life expectancy is 85 now, mostly because of treatments for diseases they didnt have before. As I know, my grandparents didnt have vaccines generally because there werent any.
I never knew that sugar was bad for the heart. I had already stopped eating sugar, in Everything, about six months ago. Not only have I lost a lot of weight, I have so much more energy.

I’ve been in the hospital many times and it is the worst for giving you food that does nothing to help heal you and actually makes your health worse. I was in for colitis and the first thing they offered me was soda. And then sugar filled yogurt. A pop cycle, jello. Then graham cracker. Nothing that would help my digestive system. When I said I didn’t want anything with sugar then they started pushing sugar substitutes. When I didn’t want that I was told I was being difficult. So yeah not always a great place to try and heal.
@@joshua50101 why would you think it’s not real. Have you ever even been in a hospital. Every thing I said was real and has happened numerous times. They have a set standard for what you are given. I was at first in clear liquids. That just means no dairy, solid foods oh but you can have jello or soda,coffee,pop cycles,broth. And after five days you get really tired of only having water or broth and I broke down and had jello.
@ lou e The medical system is so fucking retarded. Everything is so black and white and common sense and intuition are thrown right out the window. He’s sick? Let’s give him soda, and pills, which have a ton of side effects.
Thank you for opening my eyes to the lies and loopholes of nutritional labels. Because of you, I have lost 13 pounds, my blood pressure is back down to normal and I am so much healthier. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
The fact that food companies are allowed to just manipulate the facts on the label is sickening, Im not surprised at all tbh. This is where our elected officials fail us, dont hear us and do the bidding of the corporations. Im gonna pay more attention to the labels now.
Old diners have the gnarliest phony oils I've ever seen. They just keep squirting it into the hash browns all day. Very bad for you. One is call "whirl".
Is it any wonder people are getting colon cancer younger and younger? It's because of all the processed foods and GMO foods they are eating. Our GI tract can't handle it, nor our bodies. I am so glad you made this video.
Dr Berg has a video of Biofilms. Biofilms are involved in GI cancers. You dont even need to eat trans fats anymore - simply cooking on PFAS/PFOA type nonstick surfaces or using PFC ( perflourinated carbon) based materials to pack food - like disposable cups, mugs etc will cause same problems like Trans Fats.
I've been IF'ing off and on over the last 20 years. I found your videos in January of this year, 2023, and as instructed, I watched your video on a beginners guide to IF and Ketosis. I started on January 22nd, and as of today, March 4th, I've lost 18lbs and dropped three pant sizes following you and another intelligent RUclipsrs advice to the latter. Thank you.
Look forward to your video every morning. Thank you Dr Berg. It’s amazing how much healthier I’m eating since watching your videos 2 years ago. Little by little!
Disappointed in Dr Berg that he didn’t disclose the MAIN source for trans fats in America- mono and diglycerides (another loophole as emulsifiers don’t have to be labeled as trans fats). I’m posting this comment to save lives. DO NOT CONSUME MONO and/or DIGLYCERIDES
You hit the nail on the head when you said what people are getting feed in the hospitals. Wow. My family members got worse being in their trying to get well.
There's nothing more disgusting and unhealthy than hospital or nursing home foods! People are trying to recover from something and they feed them foods worse than dog kibble.
Great advice as always, I think if we all just buy and look for only "one ingredient" foods. If it has a label and has a list of things, then avoid it and look for that one ingredient like Salmon, or chicken or egg, or sweet peppers. Nothing else added, just pure one ingredient food. I'm trying to live by this and Dr Berg advice and at 63, was 193, now 6 weeks later I am 179 and still losing weight. I'm glad I saved those smaller size jeans and clothes, for a decade ago, I can now wear them again!!!
Sir ..... EVERY video is a REAL education, for us viewers ..... I, just 3 weeks post Quadruple bypass, am changing the way I choose what goes into my body ..... After decades of consuming the "typical" American diet, I am learning about "what part I can play" in my health, going forward .... A sincere "Thank You" !!!!
I bought a turn key, small restaurant six months ago, a diner really, the “shortening” that was being used in the deep friers was 100% soybean oil. It took a bit of hunting around, but I was able to source 100% beef tallow for my friers. Made the switch on that and did away with the “butter flavored griddle oil” which was used on pretty much every single breakfast that was cooked on the flat top. I save the bacon grease and use that instead. By doing away with the soy oil, and had to source olive oil (not extra virgin) for all other oil needs.
If I found a diner that did what you do I would eat there regularly. Instead, I avoid restaurants, because I am sure they all use fake industrial oils for both deep frying and griddle frying.
Thank you for putting your time and effort into making those videos Dr. Berg, you've changed my life and I am sure many others too. I've learned so much from your videos and I've been following your research for years now. I often recommend your chanel to my friends or family when they struggle. Thank you for giving this world such a great service, your work is absolutely priceless.
I just purchased some Fire King restaurant "grill plates". I made up my mind to use plates that were used in the 1940s-1950s when portions were smaller (and people were smaller). It unbelievable how much bigger plates and bowls are now. The Fire King plates are divided into three sections, one large and two small sections. That helps me keep my portions down. I try to stick to the outer rim of the store as much as I can and buy food with the least amount of ingredients as possible, preferably one or two and use mainly olive oil and bacon grease to cook with. I grow as many vegetables and fruits as I can in my back yard. I hope to get to the point where I can buy my meat (and milk to make yogurt and butter), etc. from local farmers/ranchers. I just do the best I can with what I have to work with at present. It takes extra effort for sure. I don't trust the flipping big food/medical/pharmaceutical industries at all.
For all of you who give up "because we can't eat anything". Here is what you CAN eat. You will return to pre-1980 meals. Cooking. In an oven or on stovetop. Using heat and butter. Not microwave. Each food has ONE ingredient. Zero packaged anything. This is in my pantry now: Beef heart Chicken gizzards Whole chicken roasters Butter (only oil I eat) Nutritional Yeast Whole yogurt Organic whipping cream Walnuts Pecans Canned oysters Canned skippers Bison 70% hamburger Cocoa Whole milk Sliced deli turkey (no additives just turkey) Napa cabbage (make wraps and sandwiches) Filter soda water from own machine Garlic whole and powder Onions whole powder and dried Himalaya salt Pepper Cinnamon Arugula Berries Spinach whole leaf and canned Soup stock from a chicken roaster DIY in 8 qt stock pot Eggs Broccoli Brussel sprouts As you can see the choices are vast. What you have to do is actually cook food over heat using butter. No convenience. No microwave ready meals. Note the complete lack of sugar and any chemicals or preservatives. No processed or prepackaged food. Only carbs are in yogurt or dairy (naturally occurring) and in the berries. For a dessert or "sweet treat" whip cocoa into whole milk. Or cocoa into yogurt and add berries. For a REALLY keto treat whip cocoa into whole whipping cream with a milk frother. I have lost 25 pounds, glucose from 122 to 90, and bp to 117 / 74 eating this diet since March 1, 2023. It works, it can be done, and you will feel terrific.

so true this country has forgotten how to cook. I lost 98 pounds and reversed my diabetes with the diet you are describing. Funny thing is now i can't stand the taste of processed foods or sugar
I've been avoiding hydrogenated oils sixteen years. It's the first thing I look for on the food labels. When I was younger I used to get breakouts on my face. I found hydrogenated oils to be most responsible for acne in the past, especially hydrogenated oils in peanut butter. Please don't buy foods with hydrogenated oils in them. Companies know what they're doing.
Advice, avoid eating anything corn, sweet potato. They slowly damage your liver then your kidneys. I believe they are the primary cause of every modern ailments in the United States. One molecule importantly, High Fructose Corn Syrup
Great info Dr. 👍 I remember listening to a radio show that explained the history of Crisco that it was developed as a alternative lubricant for submarine diesel engines over a century ago. Proctor & Gamble bought the patent and repurposed this product for use with food. Not a good lubricant for the heart
I have long refrained from purchasing foods with "hydrogenated"-anything as an ingredient but was oblivious to the problem with "encapsulated citric acid." Thank you for the heads up! I shall add "encapsulated"-anything to my ingredient block list.
Excellent, excellent, excellent information with references, documentation and recommendations. This channel is one of the best on RUclips or maybe… the BEST! Thank you, Dr Berg!
Thanks for sharing such valuable information! It's really helpful to know for our heart health. Have you ever tried replacing this type of food with other options?
The way Dr. Eric Berg represents each episode about health, which is absolutely awesome and also informs us indirectly that we humans are left nothing to eat except organic fruits and vegetables and eaw water (not the ro water). Now, no matter how much you earn and you still live like a beggar, if not, the rich have to consume the currencies 😊
Been avoiding Hydrogenated anything for 20 years now. I also been avoiding HFCS's and fake sugars, especially aspartame. So far... not high BP or any serious health concerns. I must admit I still have a sweet tooth I am psychologically fighting. I have a saying... If you are eating Margarine, it is almost the same as melting the plastic container and spreading that on your toast.
There are millions of ways to replace those poisonous products with healthy products. Margarine can be replaced with Natural Cow Butter (and it tastes much better). You can fry your chicken if you want with natural butter and you will enjoy it without killing yourself. Use the Mozarella Cheese melted oil to fry some protein as well. Those won't kill you. Normal sugar is BAD but it is MUCH MUCH better than artificial sweetners. For instance Cane Sugar is not good but it is much much better than white sugar. The point is, there are always alternatives that won't destroy your health.
I use real butter or Smart Balance. Sweet tooth can be cured by all natural honey. Clover honey is 50 points on the antioxidant scale. Buckwheat honey is 400 points; Which is a towering super food. Many incredible benefits..
I have a brother in law who was being furnished Ensure by the VA. I looked at the ingredient chart and was totally shocked that anyone would consider using this product!
I am sick of the loop holes these manufacturers have that allow them to label their products fraudulently. All they need is just the right wording and the semantics allow them to peddle garbage to unsuspecting people.
When I was a kid I remember the move from butter and whole fat milk to margarine. "Margarine is much better for your heart" they told us. Now the question is, was this just a big fat LIE by the food industry, or did they not know? I'm very reluctant to 'trust the science' when scientists base their supremely confident assertions on guesswork.
All they seemed concerned about was CHOLESTEROL!!! That was the big bugaboo. So anything that removed or didn’t contain cholesterol got the okay from every corner
I can understand why they are still alive but whether their offspring , and their offspring will fare as well is another matter . Generally we can see how the children of people who ate all this then start out with an impairment or that is how it seems to be to me . Badly nourished people often produce children who have less good health outcomes I think
I remember how people looked 60 years ago; then hydrogenated oil appeared and people started to change progressively until we got to where we are today with people looking bloated like a five-day old corps.
We are being poisoned because of corporate greed (including them buying scientists, bureaucrats and politicians). Now they want to take away citizens rights and get the "elite" to take over everything in what they call a "great reset"? No thanks, they have already made enough damage... time to turn the table!
A world of information under Dr to protect one of the most important things in our lives our health ad lifestyles. Well worth taking the time out to listen and learn. Thankyou.
I have moved abroad and quickly noticed the food tastes different even if it's from an American fast food chain. Very little to no salt and the oily taste it's not there. Yes, the American food industry is poisoning its customers on a daily basis. The interesting part is that people are actually loving it.
@@kevinmatta9262 Malic Acid ( tangy sourness) tricking the body that its eating 'Fruit, Free Glutamates ( umami) tricking the body that its eating nourishing protein rich food. A lot of research goes on into these flavorings. Its not much better elsewhere in the world.
Dr Berg! You are absolutely the best in helping ordinary people to learn so much about health and own healing and own food choices. Hopefully these Scientists and Chemists and CEOs and workers in these Chemical and Food Companies would get their own taste of own medicine by getting earliest effects mentioned on health and getting these deseases in their own families, only then people still should boycott these sneaky products with Saturated and Transfats and Hydrogenated and Partially Hydrogenated Oils even if not listed explicitly on the food labels. Anything packaged or commercially prepared should be avoided especially from cheaper fast food and shelved foods industry. Petitioning to BAN these packaged and Bad Oils Foods from being allowed to be bought using OTC HEALTHY FOODS BENEFITS and Food Stamps would be a great way to make these companies think fast to avoid BAD FATS which are poisoning people health.
I'm 50 this year and 21 stone. I was 24 stone 3 years ago then lost 4 stone but due to my long hours and sedentary job it's creeping back on. I've started Keto and lost almost 10lb in two weeks with the aim of losing 4 stone. I've eaten loads of steak, fish, chicken, fish, some green veg and cheese and loads of eggs. I've cut out processed stuff and added sugar and I feel so much better. The food industry is in league with big pharma. The food companies ruin your health with the poison in it, meaning you become dependant on meds for the rest of your days and paying them forever. Videos like this have changed my attitude to food completely. I don't even crave this stuff now. Life changing.
Dr Gundrys ‘unlocking the Keto code’ book will allow you to boost your Keto benefits whilst introducing healthier more sustainable mechanisms for weight loss and longevity improvements. Keto is great but medical research has moved on. Great job.
yes you are so right, they want us to be just a little unhealthy so they can prescribe drugs, the entire country is popping pills, i'll bet anything they have cures for many things but that will not make them rich. i threw away my blood pressure medicine and i now control it with minerals and supplements, i love Dr. Berg, unfortunately most doctors are not like him, drugs, and tests galore, no i will stay healthy my way, it's working for me.
Great video! It reinforced my need to always read nutrition labels also the ingredient list and learn what any chemical sounding ingredient really is. On a side note, I’ve had Roam Sticks from Singing Pastures and they are delicious. A little costly, maybe, but if you’re eating healthy Keto and IF, you don’t need to be gorging 12 sticks in one sitting. 😊
I have watched quite a few of these types of podcast on health, from max to Robert and now cook everything from scratch like I used to, today home made cheese scones. Thanks for the reminder of how bad processed food is. Always buy organic wherever I can. Homemade yoghurt is so delicious.
Having been a chef for over 20y unfortunately I can tell you unless the restaurant you are eating at is 4-5 🌟 or specifies that they don't use margarine, your food is getting cooked in the bad stuff. Almost every restaurant I've ever worked at has used cheaper oils to cook with the only places I've worked at that only used olive, avocado oil or butter were 4 star.
Disappointed in Dr Berg that he didn’t disclose the MAIN source for trans fats in America- mono and diglycerides (another loophole as emulsifiers don’t have to be labeled as trans fats)
This is why I am grateful for podcasts etc. Even though there is alot of noise, professionals fill the the GAPS the Government and Lobbyists have left. I avoid processed foods and I use butter and olive oil. I do enjoy the occasional junk though; but I usually make those temptations at home.
Instead of using Crisco for baking and cooking, I use it for emergency candles. I found out that the little flame on the Crisco can shows you why it was originally used! Works great in a black out!

We have been eating only olive oil .it comes in a dark green glass bottle.NOT PLASTIC..
Why are the oils legal to put in food? They wouldn't add steroids or some drugs into the food since that is bad for us too right...
You eat bags of chips and multiple donuts? I thought you are keto.

I used to work as a medic and occasionally picked up elderly patients at nursing homes to transport them to a doctor's appointment. The type of food they receive is criminal. I used to listen to the elderly while I was driving, heard their complaints from the back of the ambulance - broke my heart - they do not care about these people....as a side note: I was fired from this job because one elderly lady I transported asked me to drive through a specific part of town, to see the house she was born in one last time. I did, we were 5 minutes late for her appointment, I was fired as a result. The lady passed away several weeks later. I would do it again.
I would too ❤
Wow ..I am sure you did the right thing, good work! Stay true to your own beliefs, good job!
God bless you for your compassion! I would do it too!
Yeah that could be any one of us one day. I wonder if the people that fired you even considered that Thought. It's good to hear there's a few people that still don't have Corporate Sludge running through their veins left. It's a good thing what you did. 😉
Thank you for your beautiful serving heart
Nursing home food killed my grandfather. He checked himself in at 96 because he had leg injuries from several farm accidents over the years. He was farming 5 acres of land by himself until he was 94. Other than the legs, he was in good shape health wise. He ate mostly homemade soup at home, particularly chicken and beef. When he went into the nursing home, they fed him highly processed, trans fat types of food. He ended up having gall bladder problems and died from that. He had family that lived to be well over 100, such as his mother (116), a cousin (111), etc and would have probably been the same way if not for processed food.
In Canada, Death Canada, forces all nursing homes public and private must feed the residents based on their death diet. Going into a nursing home is a death sentence.
@@dawnelder9046 is there proof of this? not saying you are wrong, jsut would like to see it. shocking stuff!
what did he make the soup of? veg, water, and meat? any seasoning?
Y didn't u Sue them then ??
Sounds like he lived a good long wonderful life!
My grand father lived for 104 years without bp , sugar or any surgery . He strictly told us not to eat can food, chips, sodas , donuts .. always eat home cooked food with healthy fats like ghee,farm grown veggies , fresh cut fruits rather packed juices , running water fish that contains lots of omega 3 , eat seasonal fruits and veggies don’t eat something that have been grown forcefully in odd season .. every food has its own nutritional value
Such a smart man, iM so sorry for your loss.
Why not canned foods?
@@P3trarch As a non-expert, It's mostly because canned foods have too much added salt, and sugar. Not to mentioned loss of nutrients caused by the process itself. Which would mostly be from boiling. Though if one has limited choices, when eating canned vegetables, drink the juice. That's where most the nutrients are.
@@fritzidler9871I usually rinse the canned vegetables because of the sodium i'm sure it's not the healthiest thing to consume on a regular basis. Thank you for answering.
@@P3trarch yes, i appreciate your question and their answer! I finally started checking sugar content and suchlike on my canned fruit and such a couple years ago. I HAD been getting "in heavy syrup" and all that before, gah!
Thank god that you are out there informing us. I’m 77 and had a widow maker heart attack 9 months ago. They put a stint in my main artery as it was totally blocked. The doctor said I was 15 minutes from death when I arrived at hospital. In the hopital, they gave me margarine, toast, cereal and orange juice. No eggs. They wanted me to go to their dietitian to get advise on how to eat. I didn’t. I’m on an intermittent fasting carnivore diet including grass fed beef and non GMO eggs. I lost 30 lbs and feel great. Thank you, thank you, thank you. John Toronto Canada
Awesome I just quit sugar two months ago feeling much better now lost 30 lbs
❤🎉❤
I'm 18 right now if I happen to have a heart attack from transfa can they clear the blockage and ill be fine? Have to stick to this until I find a good job and get my own food instead of my parents getting garbage.
As a truck driver i have more chance of getting heart attack, since i found your channel my shopping and food consumption started to be healthier. Now I can fall a sleep faster and wake up rested, also i noticed my sudden heart pulsations decreased since i stopped soda drinks.
Thank you for sharing the truth.
I'm a trucker as well. I did on the road trucking for two years straight, and practically lived in that truck for 75% of the time.
The past six months I had bought a renogy 3000w inverter, a cast iron skillet, and a single burner cuisinart hot plate. I cooked nothing but butter fried eggs, grassfed butter and grassfed red meats from ruminant animals, organic grassfed milk (and recently A2 milk), and had fruits and honey at the end of it for occasional carbs.
I didn't need adderall after eating butter fried eggs for two months straight, I lost six inches of truck food blubber, my sleep apnea went away, I could wake up with no brain fog, I gained 15 pounds of muscle (former bodyweight was 135), higher testosterone levels, less mood swings and more.
Walmart is ok for some organic foods, but you really have to find where you can park bobtail or what place has accommodations for 75 feet of truck and trailer.
Yeah, I definitely need to change my diet too. It's not easy, I generally need at least one big meal a day and cooking is not an option.
God bless all truckers and i hope you spread the word for all truckers! My dad was a trucker and had colon cancer and got his colon removed and uses a bag for life!
Good for you brother! Hope you suggest it to other truck drivers as well
The standard American diet is what's killing more people than anything else.
We need a major movement in this country to address all these unhealthy situations.
We need a major movement to get rid of joe biden before he destroys our country with inflation, high interest, illegal immigration which brings in 100s of Chinese!
This will never happen now. They are putting out fake foods made in labs.
Like the FDA?
@@emerald9578 the fda doesn’t care about peoples health despite what we are led to believe
People need to be more educated and they need to care. The information is available , but the masses do not want to hear about it. They want to buy their crappy food, for cheap as they get fatter and want more crap for their bucks. That is our reality. The jabs, just showed us that. Most people are painfully ignorant sheep.
Time for class-action lawsuits against food companies for mislabelling their ingredients. Lawsuits on the same scale as those against tobacco companies.
The FDA allows for the language. They probably get a nice incentive from major food companies for allowing discrepancies.
Only thing a lawsuit will accomplish is it will make lawyers richer, it will do nothing to help you or me or anyone else. So stop it with this lawsuit mentality so prevalent in this country.
@@yb8080 yep, no point in trying, lets just all kill ourselves
@@MJorgy5 to right I’ve said for a long time there’s worse food out there than cigarettes..
the governments don’t want people to live long after there tax paying working life..
There is a line between mislabeling and not being clear . These people know how to avoid lawsuits.....they have for a long time. It is up to the buyers to get informed and educated. No one makes you buy their products. No lawsuits here......The basic content is in the label. The details do not have to be.
I cut out excess sugar, pasta, breads and started paying better attention to labels for “added sugar.” Also added some vitamins Dr Berg suggested. Results: fasting blood sugar 88-110 down from 130s-150s. A1C only down 0.2 to 6.6. Weight 108 down from 121 in 4 months(I’m 5’5”, 61 yrs). Time to work on this stuff now. Feels like it never ends tho😢 The food industry does us no favors. Thank you for the education you provide Dr Berg!
What kind of foods do u go for now?
A1c normal 4 is it?
Your weight seems too skinny 108 for being 5’6? I'm 5-2” and wt is 112 I look great, no belly no fat
High-fat low-carb diets make you fat and sick (which ist why you need a calorie restrictrion). Only vegan low-fat high-carb diets are healthy and reverse insulin resistance, overweight, etc. without reducing calories. Humans are not meant to eat animals, that's why animal products and fatty diets cause all diseases. Our natural food are starchy carbohydrates.
Fat causes insulin resistance.
I was at a major (tri-state #1) medical center recently (visiting) and the patients were all being served high fructose corn syrup and omega-6 fatty acids. I was able to get the patient just some meat and cheese by making a narrow request. The "nutritionist" was reluctant to approve it.
"Follow the money" leads to dark places.
Medicaid corruption is terrible. Same problem with the indigent or helpless. They get put on and then blackmailed and deprived of powerful brain drugs they are involuntarily made dependant on. The state sees you as a liability and works to hasten your death once they have extracted all financial value from you and checked the boxes. There is no prospect of recovery for mental health patients that the state oversees. They look to get them off the books. The horiffic evil abuse that takes place in this system is bloodcurdling.
It leeds to a slow painful death as they suck every dollar from you

That's such a Blessing you were able to start a farm. I would love to do that. What type of oil do you use? Are you using beef tallow?
I love beef tallow. I get mine from a local farm that raises the animals on grass.

@Angie Thanks so much. I do mostly low carb too, but only make homemade things and do make bread.. it always calls for oil. Instead of olive oil, I was wondering if the tallow could be replaced.
I'll look it up. I'm definitely going to get some. I know the ones in control of our "Food" have Lied about Everything.

FDA is owned and operated by the companies they are supposed to protect us from.
In India, there is an opposition by big food brands against a suggested govt bill to put health labels on food. Tells you how much these companies care about their consumers. I am thankful to my wife for talking sense to me and making me quit refined sugar, refined flour completely and deep fried food completely. She has replaced all our snacks with things like homemade popcorn, seed mix, dry fruits etc. We cook food only in ghee or olive oil. We take stevia or jaggery as alternate to sugar, we buy our grains and get them ground from a nearby shop, and we prefer water over any other drink 90% of time. And ofcourse, excercise. Small changes make a big difference.
Stevia is not good. Palm jaggery is fine as long as it is processed using traditional method.
@@felixroyan6615 yes I agree. But my stevia intake is limited to two pinches in my morning tea/coffee. That's it.

Since discovering Dr. Berg's channel here a little over a month ago, my whole lifestyle has changed. Threw out corn oil and replaced it with organic virgin olive oil, got rid of my "fat free" nestle coffee mate creamer, cut out all sugar and 90% of carbs, and got my elderly parents on a very similar cleansing and healthier diet along with smarter food choices to consume and it made all the difference. They haven't used their diabetes pills (which they've been living on taking them multiple times daily for the past 20+ years) in over a month as the readings are always at or bellow 120 when theirs would be between 150-220 daily before. They feel great and lost a lot around the waist and feel healthier. Dr. Thank you, you are God sent 🙏 with your invaluable information changing lives daily.

Assisted living residents are essentially waiting for death to come take them. I don't think the quality of their diet is of great concern to them. Just that dinner tasted good, or bad.
Well what about the big candy dishes of chocolates that are at the check out desks of the hospital radiation clinics and the chemotherapy clinics? Cancer thrives on sugar.
The food available in most Hospital Cafeterias is absolute junk - No self respecting Cardiologist eats in these places.
I was 166.9 pounds on March 27th I decided to do intermediate fasting 16/8 and now I am 152 pounds! Thank you, Dr. Berg. I eliminated starches and sugars except for liquid stevia

Try monk fruit. You can get it as a powder and it has a very similar flavour and intensity as stevia with a tiny bit less aftertaste (not that stevia has much)

Definitely is overwhelming. I spend hours reading labels trying to eat clean. Wish we'd at least ban the obvious poisons like the rest of the world
Another deterrent for many people is the higher cost of healthy, whole (unprocessed) foods. Sadly, convenience is one of the major attractions of junk food, whether from the grocery market or the fast food drive-thru.
I appreciate this video. I’ve been SUPER stressed out these last few weeks and I have been eating HORRIBLY. Processed foods, fast foods, junk, candy, you name it!! I have to get myself back on track and realize I’m only hurting myself even MORE on top of the stress.
Thanks for sharing ❤
Same , but the fact we are watching this video suggests change is imminent. 🙂

*They* feed us to make us sick then prescribe drugs that make us sicker, then prescribe more drugs that make us more sick.
At 56, I take one prescription due to removal of my thyroid gland (sure would like to have that back!), and I follow Dr Berg’s advice. Life and death is at the end of your fork, the bottom of your cup, and the edge of your spoon. Therefore, FILL THEM WELL!
Exactly! Greed caused them to stoop to depths they should be ashamed of.
Reminds me of when they put mercury in cosmetics or dental fillings, or asbestos-contaminated talc power. They knew it would lead to long term health issues and ultimately an earlier death, yet they still persisted.
You're continuously saving some lives dear sir.
Most importantly, you are making lives healthier and more comfortable.
Best regards.
Fear is a good motivator! I'm listening Dr Berg, and I'm making more changes today! I was 240# and now down to 185# and feeling good, fasting is the key!

How do you do the fasting ?
@@marinelagarza-ponce109 I only eat from noon to 7pm, nothing after and nothing before. I even have alarms set on my phone for noon, 6:30pm (to remind me I have 1/2 hour left to eat), then at 7pm. This helped immensely!

@@nanbal2006 I switched from watching calories to watching carbs. I started eating a big salad like Dr Berg everyday whenever I can, then a palm size of protein, usually salmon or a burger.

At 66 it's hard to give up everything I've enjoyed almost my entire life! With that said, I look forward to holidays and family get togethers where I allow myself a few "old treats".
Some people may be skeptical of 'organic'. I've worked in a organic food processing plant for 6 years. Organic is real, it's a thing. The requirements are pretty strict to have organic certificates.
Except for cows. Only need to be organic at the end to pass. Need to know your farms well.
@vchafab
Thanks for that info.
We pack various dry superfoods and VCO.. I have no knowledge of agricultural products.
However, I'm sure there's some benefit to organic beef over non. Even it's it just the way they control the environment its produced in.
Thank you. Sometimes I wonder if people just slap the sticker on, but when I eat it, i taste the difference.
I'm one of those skeptics. Just look up into the sky at the poison they've been pummeling us with daily fire YEARS: How is ANYTHING that's grown outside under that shat, "Organic"? But no one cares about the skies being criss-crossed with cute little designs these heartless pilots draw at times...
Tell someone to eat an organic apple and then a conventionally grown apple, they'll know organic is a real thing. Even my guinea pigs 100% prefer organic fruits and vegetables.
When I was 45, my blood work came back with horrific cholesterol numbers. The one big change I made was cutting out microwave popcorn which I was having 3 to 4 times a week. Six months later when I was tested again, my numbers were perfect! That goop in microwave popcorn is poison.
You can microwave plain popcorn in a brown paper lunch bag with no additives. Just add what you like or not while it's piping hot.
I have a popcorn popper. It's easy to clean, I just wipe it with a paper towel. And you can put nutritional yeast on top.
That goop is what they call the 'butter flavor' haha.
Goodness me yess. I eliminated popcorn and that was amazing for mee!
Good to know. I'll melt my own butter from now on. Just gotta be careful with the heat.
Thank God for the woman who came before me in our family. They taught us to cook and bake from scratch using natural ingredients. Lived on small farm most of our childhood. Raw milk, fresh eggs, garden, fresh killed chicken and animals raised for the freezer.
In South Africa my country an old woman recently died, she was 128 years old her name was Johanna Mazibuko. She grew up in the farm eating spinach and other vegetables. She died two months before turning 129 year's on the 03 March 2023. Google her name to see more.

One day our mechanic, who also worked for other companies as well, came in with a huge lump of fully hydrogenated food oil he had picked up at another of the food companies he worked for. It was like a lump of grey/white plastic. Quite hard. We all stood around wondering how us humans had been so programmed that we would eat that.
Found these products make fine lubricants for low speed machinery… automatic garage doors, bicycles, sewing machines and suspension systems where you don’t want it flying off
@@seattlesix that's what Canola was originally invented for. THEN they thought about putting it in food too.
apparently even cockroaches won't eat it
I work as a mechanic in an organic, gluten free food processing plant.
The sound of that makes me ill.
These oils were originally for mechanical use. It's deliberate poisoning of us
Very honest of you to admit! I myself horrified myself after eating, say, an oven pizza - and then realising it serves 4! A good tip that I have adopted is use your large plates to serve your salads/veg, and a very small plate for everything else (per person). I detest how food companies are making everyone ill, just to increase the profit for the shareholders. I bet the ones at the top, don’t eat their own products!
I bet they don’t either. Just like the creators of the covid vaccine aren’t vaccinated. Cruel world we live in😢
There was a book that mentioned how people that developed potato chips and other snack foods actually did not eat what they worked on because they engineered it to be addictive.
(I think the words salt and sugar were in the title)
Great tip 👍
@@davidcatlett4052 here in the UK one company advises “Once you pop, you can’t stop”! And they are correct. Before I just stopped buying them, I would be like, “go on then, just one more” to realise the tube was empty!
@@catchacow1927 Yeah, that can happen.
Try this, and I swear to you, I'm not being condescending: pour out a little of what you want into a bowl instead of just keeping the package open. It'll give your body time to catch up and tell you when you've had enough.
I know it's so simple it sounds like I'm talking down to you in recommending it, but I swear it can help. If you want more, get a little more, just don't keep the package open.
Maybe have some fruit with it too.
Unless one has health problems to the point you have to just stop with unhealthy food choices, it's possible to indulge. Just as long as you vary your diet and don't eat a lot of the unhealthy stuff every day.
This was an amazing talk. Thank you. I’m a lunch so called lunch lady at an Elementary school in Washington State. I listen to you for many years now, and I’ve actually followed a lot of your recommendations. I have a rare blood cancer, but I have relied on supplements, therefore I am not on any medication’s at this time. The point I’m trying to make is it breaks my heart every time I see these children coming through the line to pick up their food, knowing, in my heart of hearts, how are setting these children up for disaster and an unhealthy future. I wish I knew what to do who do I go to? I want to help these kids I just don’t know what to do.
I'm sorry to hear about your health problem. Have you considered adding cancer fighting supplements such as broccoli sprouts, turkey tail mushroom extract and turmeric to your diet?
Speak up somewhere, if you want to help the kids. But do you have the energy with your own health issues to fight against the status quo?
@@JilleneLuce thank you I love your response, actually, I’m quite healthy and very strong. It is a state of mind I’ve chosen not to let this disease get the best of me. I am working on speaking out. I just have to find the proper resources.
@@normastone1044 thank you Norma for your response, it’s funny you’re talking about the supplements, I take all of them that you listed above. I’m particularly fond of the mushroom extract and of course to work as well. Thank you again I appreciate it.
Is there an administration at the school or education board that can provide nutritional content of the food in lunch program?
Maybe having that information and providing research of the necessary nutrients for children to have and others to avoid. Maybe taking it to parent council so they can advocate with you to get it to the right decision makers.
I just finished watching your video on trans fats being the #1 worst food for heart health, and I must say, it was a real eye-opener! The way you broke down the science behind why trans fats are so harmful, and how they impact our cardiovascular system was incredibly informative. It's alarming to realize how common these fats are in everyday foods. Your tips on how to avoid them and make healthier choices are definitely going to be useful in my daily life. Looking forward to more such enlightening content!

I had a HA in 11/22. In ICU the 'heart healthy' breakfast was an English muffin with margarine. Mashed potatoes, and home fries (all 3 on the same plate) and a fruit cup with fruit swimming in sugar syrup. No meat. No green veggies. I didn't eat it. The nurses were perplexed. I asked for a couple hard boiled eggs, they laughed out loud and said 'NO way' with your heart condition.

@@Zckwarriar2009zi Yes and eating that food would have made me hangry. Luckily my wife brought me real food.
I am from India. Back in 80s and 90s there was a cooking medium by the name Dalda. It was made of palm oil hydogenated. A cheap alternative to the amazing pure ghee. My mom used to use it as it was promoted as a pure thing which can be used to make traditional dishes. Its been 20 years since we stopped using it. Our parents were fooled. And they genuinely thought they are doing the best for their kids. We belonged to middle class. Working father and mother. Even $1 was spent with extreme care then.
Agreed bro ! Today local sweet shops (halwai) still use dalda and rath. Very dangerous if comsumed on a prolonged basis.
@@Ja5pr33t Apparently Dalda now os Trans Fat free. But I dont trust anymore. Coconut Oil, Mustard Oil and Ghee. Maybe Olive Oil. All of this in moderation.
My daughter switched to ghee after doing research on how butter is also not a good thing. It's important to read everything and know what is good and bad. I actually taught my Mom how corn starch was better than flour for thickenings. We can always learn.
Same is our home 😢
Just cook in pure butter.
Yikes! I was recently in the hospital for a triple bypass and the food they gave me was ridiculous. It was everything you were not supposed to eat. Luckily it was only for 5 days
They like to keep their customers.

Supposed healthy snacks can be worse than choc bars, as can be high carb foods. Research so you can be informed well, your authorities are deceiving you all. Its frightful.
I'd rather starve ...
I've told my family that if I have to go into hospital for any reason I want them to bring me healthy, low carb food to eat. I refuse to eat the carb laden slop that they serve up in UK hospitals.
My grandfather, who died a very long time ago, lived to 93. I think he had some bad habits that prevented a longer life but all his life he never ate junk food because basically there wasnt much of it around to eat. He ate original, real food and didnt have any major health problem until six months before he died. In my generation its almost the opposite, we run on junk food and original food has been sidelined. Look at the full hospital parking lots and doctors you have to wait months to see because their appointments are full. What else needs to be said?
Yep, speaks volumes. Overloaded Sickcare!
If your grandfather lived to 93, his kid should live longer about 120, and his grandkid (you) should live longer to about 140, and so on Right? Instead every generation is living less. People are dying in there 60's, 50's, 40's from cancer and other diseases from the food. Unbelievable we haven't went to war yet about these lies. Everybody should be able to grow their own food in their backyards.
@6RingzDaLacKing Excellent points except for the backyards. Many people in heavily urbanized areas don't have anything like a yard, back or front!
Im sure they had a different set of vaccines at birth. The new life expectancy seems to be in the 60s
@@BrightthgirB I read the life expectancy is 85 now, mostly because of treatments for diseases they didnt have before. As I know, my grandparents didnt have vaccines generally because there werent any.

I’ve been in the hospital many times and it is the worst for giving you food that does nothing to help heal you and actually makes your health worse. I was in for colitis and the first thing they offered me was soda. And then sugar filled yogurt. A pop cycle, jello. Then graham cracker. Nothing that would help my digestive system. When I said I didn’t want anything with sugar then they started pushing sugar substitutes. When I didn’t want that I was told I was being difficult. So yeah not always a great place to try and heal.

@@joshua50101 why would you think it’s not real. Have you ever even been in a hospital. Every thing I said was real and has happened numerous times. They have a set standard for what you are given. I was at first in clear liquids. That just means no dairy, solid foods oh but you can have jello or soda,coffee,pop cycles,broth. And after five days you get really tired of only having water or broth and I broke down and had jello.

Thank you so much for your very important information Dr. Berg.
You're very welcome!
Thank you for opening my eyes to the lies and loopholes of nutritional labels. Because of you, I have lost 13 pounds, my blood pressure is back down to normal and I am so much healthier. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
The fact that food companies are allowed to just manipulate the facts on the label is sickening, Im not surprised at all tbh. This is where our elected officials fail us, dont hear us and do the bidding of the corporations. Im gonna pay more attention to the labels now.
I haven't been able to eat in restaurants for at least 10 years without feeling awful afterwards. I think its because of the oils.
Old diners have the gnarliest phony oils I've ever seen. They just keep squirting it into the hash browns all day. Very bad for you. One is call "whirl".
Is it any wonder people are getting colon cancer younger and younger? It's because of all the processed foods and GMO foods they are eating. Our GI tract can't handle it, nor our bodies. I am so glad you made this video.
Maybe but I think it’s probably due to the health industry encouraging (scaring) non symptomatic people into getting tested for cancer.
Dr Berg has a video of Biofilms. Biofilms are involved in GI cancers. You dont even need to eat trans fats anymore - simply cooking on PFAS/PFOA type nonstick surfaces or using PFC ( perflourinated carbon) based materials to pack food - like disposable cups, mugs etc will cause same problems like Trans Fats.
Should be a law against over complicating and confusing food labels.
I've been IF'ing off and on over the last 20 years. I found your videos in January of this year, 2023, and as instructed, I watched your video on a beginners guide to IF and Ketosis. I started on January 22nd, and as of today, March 4th, I've lost 18lbs and dropped three pant sizes following you and another intelligent RUclipsrs advice to the latter. Thank you.
Dr. Shawn baker is also awesome
How long do you fast for, and what are you typically eating?
Look forward to your video every morning. Thank you Dr Berg. It’s amazing how much healthier I’m eating since watching your videos 2 years ago. Little by little!
Disappointed in Dr Berg that he didn’t disclose the MAIN source for trans fats in America- mono and diglycerides (another loophole as emulsifiers don’t have to be labeled as trans fats). I’m posting this comment to save lives. DO NOT CONSUME MONO and/or DIGLYCERIDES
You hit the nail on the head when you said what people are getting feed in the hospitals. Wow. My family members got worse being in their trying to get well.
Thanks. Wishing you and your family good health.
There's nothing more disgusting and unhealthy than hospital or nursing home foods! People are trying to recover from something and they feed them foods worse than dog kibble.
Thanks Dr. Berg for helping
us to stay healthy. I have learned so much from your videos.
Great advice as always, I think if we all just buy and look for only "one ingredient" foods. If it has a label and has a list of things, then avoid it and look for that one ingredient like Salmon, or chicken or egg, or sweet peppers. Nothing else added, just pure one ingredient food. I'm trying to live by this and Dr Berg advice and at 63, was 193, now 6 weeks later I am 179 and still losing weight. I'm glad I saved those smaller size jeans and clothes, for a decade ago, I can now wear them again!!!
Sir ..... EVERY video is a REAL education, for us viewers ..... I, just 3 weeks post Quadruple bypass, am changing the way I choose what goes into my body ..... After decades of consuming the "typical" American diet, I am learning about "what part I can play" in my health, going forward .... A sincere "Thank You" !!!!
I bought a turn key, small restaurant six months ago, a diner really, the “shortening” that was being used in the deep friers was 100% soybean oil. It took a bit of hunting around, but I was able to source 100% beef tallow for my friers. Made the switch on that and did away with the “butter flavored griddle oil” which was used on pretty much every single breakfast that was cooked on the flat top. I save the bacon grease and use that instead. By doing away with the soy oil, and had to source olive oil (not extra virgin) for all other oil needs.
If I found a diner that did what you do I would eat there regularly. Instead, I avoid restaurants, because I am sure they all use fake industrial oils for both deep frying and griddle frying.
You are doing Gods work!!!
Thank you so much for all you do. We are entering Advent so I pray for a miracle that you will continue to share your great advice.
Thank you for putting your time and effort into making those videos Dr. Berg, you've changed my life and I am sure many others too. I've learned so much from your videos and I've been following your research for years now. I often recommend your chanel to my friends or family when they struggle. Thank you for giving this world such a great service, your work is absolutely priceless.
I just purchased some Fire King restaurant "grill plates". I made up my mind to use plates that were used in the 1940s-1950s when portions were smaller (and people were smaller). It unbelievable how much bigger plates and bowls are now. The Fire King plates are divided into three sections, one large and two small sections. That helps me keep my portions down. I try to stick to the outer rim of the store as much as I can and buy food with the least amount of ingredients as possible, preferably one or two and use mainly olive oil and bacon grease to cook with. I grow as many vegetables and fruits as I can in my back yard. I hope to get to the point where I can buy my meat (and milk to make yogurt and butter), etc. from local farmers/ranchers. I just do the best I can with what I have to work with at present. It takes extra effort for sure. I don't trust the flipping big food/medical/pharmaceutical industries at all.
I'm also really grateful that he doesn't take the whole video to tell you the answer. And then goes on to explain how.
For all of you who give up "because we can't eat anything".
Here is what you CAN eat.
You will return to pre-1980 meals.
Cooking. In an oven or on stovetop.
Using heat and butter.
Not microwave.
Each food has ONE ingredient.
Zero packaged anything.
This is in my pantry now:
Beef heart
Chicken gizzards
Whole chicken roasters
Butter (only oil I eat)
Nutritional Yeast
Whole yogurt
Organic whipping cream
Walnuts
Pecans
Canned oysters
Canned skippers
Bison
70% hamburger
Cocoa
Whole milk
Sliced deli turkey (no additives just turkey)
Napa cabbage (make wraps and sandwiches)
Filter soda water from own machine
Garlic whole and powder
Onions whole powder and dried
Himalaya salt
Pepper
Cinnamon
Arugula
Berries
Spinach whole leaf and canned
Soup stock from a chicken roaster DIY in 8 qt stock pot
Eggs
Broccoli
Brussel sprouts
As you can see the choices are vast.
What you have to do is actually cook food over heat using butter. No convenience. No microwave ready meals.
Note the complete lack of sugar and any chemicals or preservatives. No processed or prepackaged food.
Only carbs are in yogurt or dairy (naturally occurring) and in the berries.
For a dessert or "sweet treat" whip cocoa into whole milk.
Or cocoa into yogurt and add berries.
For a REALLY keto treat whip cocoa into whole whipping cream with a milk frother.
I have lost 25 pounds, glucose from 122 to 90, and bp to 117 / 74 eating this diet since March 1, 2023.

The statement “FDA Approved” has lost all integrity.
So right! All the agencies are corrupt!
I've been avoiding hydrogenated oils sixteen years. It's the first thing I look for on the food labels. When I was younger I used to get breakouts on my face. I found hydrogenated oils to be most responsible for acne in the past, especially hydrogenated oils in peanut butter. Please don't buy foods with hydrogenated oils in them. Companies know what they're doing.
Back in the 60's a man named Carlton Fredrick's warned about hydrogenated oils .....glad my mom was paying attention
Whoch peanut butter is good?
They know, they just don't care
Advice, avoid eating anything corn, sweet potato. They slowly damage your liver then your kidneys. I believe they are the primary cause of every modern ailments in the United States. One molecule importantly, High Fructose Corn Syrup
Smuckers makes an all natural peanut butter. Peanuts and salt should be the only ingredients.
Really enjoy your videos. I also find your voice soothing and appearance very easy on the eyes. Thanks!
Great info Dr. 👍 I remember listening to a radio show that explained the history of Crisco that it was developed as a alternative lubricant for submarine diesel engines over a century ago. Proctor & Gamble bought the patent and repurposed this product for use with food. Not a good lubricant for the heart
I have long refrained from purchasing foods with "hydrogenated"-anything as an ingredient but was oblivious to the problem with "encapsulated citric acid." Thank you for the heads up! I shall add "encapsulated"-anything to my ingredient block list.
Excellent, excellent, excellent information with references, documentation and recommendations. This channel is one of the best on RUclips or maybe… the BEST! Thank you, Dr Berg!
Thanks for sharing such valuable information! It's really helpful to know for our heart health. Have you ever tried replacing this type of food with other options?
The way Dr. Eric Berg represents each episode about health, which is absolutely awesome and also informs us indirectly that we humans are left nothing to eat except organic fruits and vegetables and eaw water (not the ro water).
Now, no matter how much you earn and you still live like a beggar, if not, the rich have to consume the currencies 😊
Been avoiding Hydrogenated anything for 20 years now. I also been avoiding HFCS's and fake sugars, especially aspartame. So far... not high BP or any serious health concerns. I must admit I still have a sweet tooth I am psychologically fighting.
I have a saying... If you are eating Margarine, it is almost the same as melting the plastic container and spreading that on your toast.
There are millions of ways to replace those poisonous products with healthy products. Margarine can be replaced with Natural Cow Butter (and it tastes much better). You can fry your chicken if you want with natural butter and you will enjoy it without killing yourself. Use the Mozarella Cheese melted oil to fry some protein as well. Those won't kill you. Normal sugar is BAD but it is MUCH MUCH better than artificial sweetners. For instance Cane Sugar is not good but it is much much better than white sugar. The point is, there are always alternatives that won't destroy your health.
When my dad was 40 the Dr said he had the bones of a 50 year old man because of aspartame.
I use real butter or Smart Balance.
Sweet tooth can be cured by all natural honey.
Clover honey is 50 points on the antioxidant scale. Buckwheat honey is 400 points;
Which is a towering super food. Many incredible benefits..
Swerve (erythritrol)is a safer sugar substitute & comes granular, brown & powdered versions. Just like sugar in texture & taste in “mho”.
@@Mjpaeschke The No 1 poison. As a matter of fact, a recent new study suggests its high cancerous effect. And yes, honey is perfect alternative.
Dr. Berg is literally a life saver!!!
Wow! I can't believe I caught this video just minutes after it was posted. What great information. Thank you for posting!
I have a brother in law who was being furnished Ensure by the VA. I looked at the ingredient chart and was totally shocked that anyone would consider using this product!
Id suggest taking a look at the packaged overpriced junk being doled out to Kidney patients labeled as NEPRO ( Therapeutic 'Nutrition' ) .
Yep, and they shove it down Cancer patients throats.
Thank for these information.
You Dr. Berg, you are a gift to humanity. Thank you sir 🙏
Thank you for your kind and positive comment.
I am sick of the loop holes these manufacturers have that allow them to label their products fraudulently. All they need is just the right wording and the semantics allow them to peddle garbage to unsuspecting people.
When I was a kid I remember the move from butter and whole fat milk to margarine. "Margarine is much better for your heart" they told us. Now the question is, was this just a big fat LIE by the food industry, or did they not know? I'm very reluctant to 'trust the science' when scientists base their supremely confident assertions on guesswork.
Trusting the science means trusting the science, not trusting random people (who may or may not be scientists).
Science is trustworthy, that is when it is not politically driven or funded by the group that profit off the thing they are researching on.
Fortunately, my family doctor told me way back in the 60's to avoid margarine... Also the skin of KFC chicken 🍗. I never forgot his advice😃👍
I don’t think they really knew.
All they seemed concerned about was CHOLESTEROL!!! That was the big bugaboo. So anything that removed or didn’t contain cholesterol got the okay from every corner

Dr Berg! You are absolutely the best in helping ordinary people to learn so much about health and own healing and own food choices. Hopefully these Scientists and Chemists and CEOs and workers in these Chemical and Food Companies would get their own taste of own medicine by getting earliest effects mentioned on health and getting these deseases in their own families, only then people still should boycott these sneaky products with Saturated and Transfats and Hydrogenated and Partially Hydrogenated Oils even if not listed explicitly on the food labels. Anything packaged or commercially prepared should be avoided especially from cheaper fast food and shelved foods industry.

I'm 50 this year and 21 stone. I was 24 stone 3 years ago then lost 4 stone but due to my long hours and sedentary job it's creeping back on. I've started Keto and lost almost 10lb in two weeks with the aim of losing 4 stone. I've eaten loads of steak, fish, chicken, fish, some green veg and cheese and loads of eggs. I've cut out processed stuff and added sugar and I feel so much better. The food industry is in league with big pharma. The food companies ruin your health with the poison in it, meaning you become dependant on meds for the rest of your days and paying them forever.

Having been a chef for over 20y unfortunately I can tell you unless the restaurant you are eating at is 4-5 🌟 or specifies that they don't use margarine, your food is getting cooked in the bad stuff. Almost every restaurant I've ever worked at has used cheaper oils to cook with the only places I've worked at that only used olive, avocado oil or butter were 4 star.
Thank you Dr Berg. I am very aware of processed food and labels. Your videos are life changing, life saving.
Disappointed in Dr Berg that he didn’t disclose the MAIN source for trans fats in America- mono and diglycerides (another loophole as emulsifiers don’t have to be labeled as trans fats)
This is why I am grateful for podcasts etc. Even though there is alot of noise, professionals fill the the GAPS the Government and Lobbyists have left.
I avoid processed foods and I use butter and olive oil.
I do enjoy the occasional junk though; but I usually make those temptations at home.
Very interesting and very, very informative..GOD BLESS FROM IRELAND 🇮🇪
👏 👏 😮
Instead of using Crisco for baking and cooking, I use it for emergency candles. I found out that the little flame on the Crisco can shows you why it was originally used! Works great in a black out!
