Fruit loops or whatever seems to be about 1/3 of added sugar, not whole but quit alot. Maybe look at the label you dont need to ask someone who does not know anything about the product. Those food colors can be wierd though. But you can find toxic colors in clothes, hair dyes, which prob.should be banned and studied more. Maybe do episode with color chemist expert or something.
that background brings up fond childhood memories of my work in the mines
😂
We yearn for them
Mines, yours, what's the difference?
Reminds me of the desert dome at the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha.
😂kids nowadays be like "mine craft..?"
The fact Peter thinks Pringles come in a bag says everything about how healthy he is 😅
Or maybe he just buys them by the bag😂
To a topologist a Pringles can is isomorphic to a bag.
I hear him say tube of pringles.
@@goldencrush1:25
If you watch the whole thing through, he refer them to be a tube...
Dr. Attia is by far the best and most nuanced physician who actually looks at research and how applicable it is to most people without fear mongering in the grocery store without a shirt
Sounds like a swipe at @Paulsaladinomd
The next phase of filming technique will include CGI dragons.

Ok now the film shots have gotten absurd....
Question: Are processed foods bad?
Every popular influencer: Not if it is my jerky, AG1, or the brain health pill I sell!
It's so frustrating to see everybody turn to selling products. We have no way of trusting them anymore.
I mean he at least apologized for it and we'll he's correct venison with a little salt isn't all that bad compared to say fruit loops. I see what your saying but to his defense he is correct lol
I mean, it's built into the word. They're an influencer. They're here to influence you.
Not sure why you would trust someone you see on RUclips selling you products 😂
He's still right tho. Also, that's not remotely close to what he said. Stop whining lol.
Totally agree. At least he acknowledged it though.
To me it seems like a super American thing. Advertising and sponsorship are sooo much more normalised there it looks like to me.
I dont see everyone being a walking billboard where I live or outside the US influencer bubble as much (not as much, but still)
I ate a whole dominos pizza last night. Was that bad?
No, that was necessary
U better use them carbs to lift some heavy ass weight the next day
Take a long walk after!!!🎉
What size?
It's a whole food
All I know is I went to a whole food, largely meat based, diet at the start of the year and I feel great. I lost 20 pounds, and I wasn't obese. I had been stuck at a certain weight for a LONG time and nothing I did seemed to touch it. Until I cut out processed foods, and the main thing I avoid like the plague is sugar.
Best to replace some of that meat with whole grains, legumes, vegetables and fruit
Definitely avoid HFCS and artificial sweeteners too, they are worse than sugar because your body doesn't really know what to do with them. The biggest thing to avoid is seed oils though, cutting them will make the biggest difference to how you feel. Beyond that go high fat and protein and low carb for best results.
@@flacjacketSMH
@@flacjacket That's pretty much my plan. I cut out the obvious problems first, then I'm fine tuning from there. Probably going to end the year on pure carnivore. I'm like 80% of the way there now.
Not for everyone. I don't believe that one diet works for everyone, but carnivore has worked for me for 15 years. @samvandervelden8243
Peter looking up a few times at the birds flying overhead at 3:43 really sells the Wild West environment. Maybe add the sound of the creek flowing in the back ground that’s powering the water mill and you’ll be golden. 👍🏼
It is depressing when you know what a fruit or veggie should taste like, and then you go grab some non organic stuff and it has like no flavor. It tastes like a fake version of what it should be in nature. We are pretty dumb to screw that up by taking it away through growing methods that will cause that. I wouldn't think it's a good idea to sell fruit that looks normal but tastes like butt, but here we are.
That is why many of us garden. There is nothing quite like going for a walk and then arriving home and picking your own produce to use later in the day.
“Non organic”😂😂😂
I think you’re due for another booster.
yes the government labels definitely totally increase the quality of foods. sure bud
Great chat
Hey Chris, good episode as always. One thing, the background is very disruptive, in a bad way, like it make no sense it disrupts me from the experience
On the topic of possible problems with keeping junk food at home, keto has killed all of my cravings for it. I can look at Pringles as if they were a brick or a bucket full of rusty nails.
These guys just keep inviting each other to each other's podcasts over and over again
Nice moderate, thoughtful responses from the good doctor.
I eat processed foods because im too weak to delete myself in a quicker manner.
What s gonna be next level Chris? U and your interview partner using historical clothing ? Next podcast pls come in on a horse while boy's choir sings...
Hi Chris, I love your shows. You should consider inviting Dr Michael Greger for nutrition discussion 👍🏻
Having spent my earliest years on a farm, I know what food should taste like and I haven't eaten over-processed foods in literally decades. I also grew up learning how to cook, and still do. That said, Pringles are my secret vice; how can I eat a tuna sandwich without chips?
Siete chips are the best, you should give them a go. Way better than Pringles in my opinion!
@@Pontiuspilate666 Hmmm ... I'll give it a try. Thx.
@@windycityliz7711 you're welcome!
You grew tuna sandwich on the farm?
Dude
Your channel is SO GOOD.
Actually it’s you
I’m SO IMPRESSED
Please keep it up!
Feeling slightly bad that I’m eating a Curlywurly whilst watching this!
Uk Candy sucksssssss
Go USA... we da best at everything
Please have Robert Lustig talk about this on the podcast.
Hello from Uzbekistan, Central Asia. You're making a turning point, man
Love Uzbekistan
Respect to you bro
Is the full episode out yet?
Quick question, is there a more processed food item than whey protein powder? Just wondering why people are so focussed on the word "processed"?
It's a buzzword like "plant based".
On that note, I'm going to drink some vodka and smoke some cigarettes.
I'm pretty sure they are good for me because they are "plant based"
What an interesting place to do a podcast...
Geographic distance to junk food is the key to a good diet FOR SURE. People with kids, beware.
It’s frustrating because we know what foods are healthy. Vegetables, fruit, fresh meat, healthy fats, nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains. It is really hard to be unhealthy if you eat 90% of your food in those categories.
Whole grains are inflammatory brother~ no bueno
Agree why do we act so dumb when it comes to diet, to many of these so called Gurus who eat salt venison???? If you want people to listen be practical, instead they like to make it sound complicated.
@@tylerhougas9938Inflammation is good
Why fresh meat
@@tylerhougas9938inflammatory is such a bs buzzword
Peter Attia… talks in riddles.
How was your journey today
“Well, journey is a misunderstood word… the literature says ‘journey’, is travel that takes in at least 1000 miles, covers 3 different modes of transport and takes in at least 2 different types of landscape, so I find the word to be misleading’.
Mate, I don’t even care I was just being polite about you getting to the studio.
“I struggle with the word ‘polite’….”
I like the way he looks at things but it sure makes it hard to have conversions.
Kelloggs and their glycemic index is where you see the harms they contain.. High sugar equivalent is the trigger for the insulin release in the body, it goes straight to the liver for making to glucose. Bacon and eggs do not trigger the insulin response and therefore satiates for many hours and supplies an energy release over that period when you are using it up.
That sensation that you haven't started the podcast, but you know it will be unique.
do foods that my body has procesed also count as processed foods?
No that's poop
@@michaelklym7043where does the colours go... It all comes out as brown and red for me 💩🩸
Holy fuck what a sick set. I know it's a green screen but damn
As for the processed food, I've been done with most of them for a while and it was the best decision in my life to quit sugar in particular.
Pringles with Metformin, new from Peter Attia ;-)
Problem: You have to itemize just what processes you're talking about, EACH AND EVERY ONE. Cooking? That's a process. Adding spices? That's a process, with each and every additive a single 'process'. Rinsing? That's a process. Refrigerating? That's a process. Anything you do to a food, is processing it. ANYTHING.
Wow, you are really smart!
@@martinjose9331 It's a good point. People just say "processed foods are bad" and refuse to elaborate. Not all "processing" is bad and there is nothing inherent about processing things that's bad.
I eat processed foods a lot such as chips and many canned goods like beans or soups but don’t eat in excess so my blood work is good along with a good bmi. Not much of a sweet tooth so that’s fairly minimal
How are you creating the background?
Was this filmed in front of a green screen? How did they get that background and it looks so perfect?
Attia talks a lot, but says very little.
I have a general rule.... The more colorful the box or wrapper, the healthier it is.
Do you work for Kellogg's or something?
Ate some processed foods yesterday out of convenience when for the previous while it had been mostly just meat and eggs from the farm with rice and beans Spartan style one cup of rice cooked with the other ingredients once a day in the same pot... But after yesterday's processed foods my body feels hungover today when I haven't had a drink for over a year. Here is a tip for poor folks like myself though, if you're going to eat bread, don't buy the stuff on the shelves in Walmart, but the 'French loafs' the fresh bread they make daily because they don't put the same level of 'shelf stabilizing chemicals' as the average loaf prepared to sit in plastic on an American shelf for weeks. I'll buy those, stick them in the freezer and if I'm having bread coat cut it open and put olive oil, salt, and pepper on it in the air fryer until toasty... and those loafs are the cheapest too!
Pringles don’t come in a bag, Pete.
Stop eating pringles.
They do if you put a portion in a sandwich bag and don’t eat the entire can.
😂
They do lol.
Having kids has been the biggest struggle to my dieting regimen. I don't want to keep my kids devoid of pleasurable things, but it's a daily mental exercise to avoid eating their snacks especially because I work from home.
I've struggled with this too. I want them to be healthy, but I'm afraid of creating an eating disorder in my teen children. I feel like it's an impossible line to walk. I only hope that they see what I'm doing and that it becomes a mindset for them. Right now I'm not sure it's working.
Disclaimer: Always talk to your doctor before trying advice from random people on the internet.
I think it's very irresponsible to allow so much salt in processed food. I have had high blood pressure for 15 years and have been taking meds for it. Making my own meals from scratch and putting little salt in them has helped immensely to bring my BP down to normal levels.
Yeah, amount of salt in food these days is ridiculous. Try Maharishi transcendental meditation, it will help with blood pressure a lot.
Even better, we got rid of salt (sodium chloride) and replaced it with potassium chloride.
I feel if people don’t know the difference between processed and hyper processed is disturbing! A packet of Nutri grain, in comparison to rolled whole oats….. what is so confusing about the level of ‘proceseseness’ (not a word, I know) 🤷♀️
That background is F*cking awesome
Peter, stop the upspeak 🤦🏽♂️.. why?
@@Kevin-kj5th No, it's not, it's just how some people speak. A lot of people find it annoying, but it has nothing to do with being insincere, it's developed incidentally by copying speech patterns of those around you.
How does this guy afford to have an old West ghost town in his studio? Amazing
Canada and Europe enforce strict content rules for processed foods. I am Canadian, and I live in Germany. Americans eat the same processed foods, but the American companies are allowed to put these chemicals in.
The fruitloops as "starting your day off with candy" thing is something that seems extremely common place in America. Donuts, waffles, pancakes, etc. are all desserts that people eat in the morning instead of normal breakfast foods.
I am at least a little sympathetic towards cereal because there are healthier cereal options and the addition of milk will at least boost the meal's relative health profile compared to these aforementioned options.
Why does the background look like a tech demo for the next Unreal Engine update?
Exercise daily (for an hour at whatever activity at whatever pace), eat mostly whole foods with proteins, veggies, and fruit, eat treats sometimes. Get enough sleep. Drink in moderation.
Adhere to that advice and live a long life.
That’s correct although I would take out the alcohol. From what I understand there is no healthy amount of alcohol.
Certain types of processing aren't THAT bad. Like freezing is totally okay. But the whole bleaching, heating and hydro-nizing shenanigan is no no. If the fundamental structure is altered, it's no bueno.
For all those smarty pants out there calling out the fact that Pete said ‘bag of pringles’, there actually are bags of mini Pringle’s which are popular with kids since you easily control portion sizes.
Attia misses the point here saying "Who's eating Kellogs cereal for breakfast?" after just making his point about America eating highly processed foods as a practice. You know that it's common, especially at the lowest income rung, so why not attempt to make these items a little less toxic? Feeding your kids venison feels like the ivory tower of nutrition here.
Rolled Oats (not the instant kind) are damned cheap, and nutritious. As for the venison - what's
"ivory tower" about hunting? It's how a lot of rural America fills the freezer.
@@windycityliz7711You're right. But with the Maui Nui stuff you need financing to purchase it!
I want to look into the research but to my understanding as long as you’re not overweight then the risk of eating these food is substantially reduced. Mineral and vitamin decencies maybe, but how quickly does that become an issue and what’s the actual ramification of such choices? Yes, it’s far from optimal but how bad really is it?
Could have picked olive oil as a processed food... A little less contentious than salty red meat sticks.
What about the can of drink on the table..processed?
Love how an advert for Pizza Hut popped up during this 🤣
Hahahaha
3:43 Peter gets distracted by the bird on the screen
General Mills makes Cheerios.
He says a tube of Pringles…where did he say bag?
Good health😎
I constantly ask my wife to stop buying junk food, sugar cereals, etc. When she does bring these things home, and I eat the entire box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch in a few days' time, she's surprised somehow. Of course I *want* to eat that sweet junk food, it's delicious! That's why I ask her to refrain from purchasing it in the first place. If there are no chips, I'll eat a banana. If there aren't frozen burritos, I'll make a sandwich. I'm inherently lazy and I will go for the convenient crap in the house (aren't we all, to various degrees?) but I'm not unwilling to cook and prep my own food, especially if there are no easier options.
Have you tried growing up?
If there is fruit and cake in the house the cake wins 10 times out of 10.
Is this not the Shield agent who said "Hail Hydra"??
Them Mc nuggets... Bad for the body... Good for the soul 😂
If it doesn't have a long list of ingredients i can't understand like a shampoo bottle, im not eating it
He didn’t answer the question.
What’s sometimes worse than processed food is the actual process of getting the food. That shit is expensive
This show is becoming the Pringles of Podcasts.
An interesting discussion. I am weak willed on some things - so I don't have them in the house. We try an eat as much pure/unprocessed foods as possible - i.e. just salted crips, peanut butter (100%) - but we aren't saints and eat things like marmalade ( processed sugar ) - BUT REALLY - PRINGLES - they are complete shxte - her are the Ingredients DRIED POTATOES, VEGETABLE OIL (CORN, COTTONSEED, HIGH OLEIC SOYBEAN, AND/OR SUNFLOWER OIL), DEGERMINATED YELLOW CORN FLOUR, CORNSTARCH, RICE FLOUR, MALTODEXTRIN, MONO- AND DIGLYCERIDES, SALT, WHEAT STARCH - its processed potatoes with shxte - why wouldn't you let your kids eat salted crisps instead - Not processed potatoes, fat and salt - SIMPLES. I switched off after hearing this.
Nuance. The difference between between being informed and being lectured. Twinkies and tomatoes pressure canned at home are both processed. As Dr Attia points out they are not of equal food value. Or profit margin for some faceless corporation.
They love conflating processed and ultra processed foods.
The issue is "ultra processed" and refined foods, not healthy modestly "assembled" or "packaged" foods made of real stuff.
Unless it’s raw, food has been processed (dried, smoked, cooked, etc.).
I was going to ask ... so what do you feed your children for breakfast ... and Chris asks the same question ... however Dr Attia says venison ... that is never gonna happen in the real world ... come on!
An omelet is "processed".
So the best, healthiest way would be to eat the scrambled eggs raw? 🤔
@@christophsproehnle2114 Don't forget the shell!
@@christheother9088 thanks for the reminder!
Bag of Pringles??
Haha bro said bag of pringles! I honestly believe he must not eat processed foods!

Preach!😂
1:25 "bag of pringles"
Canada poptarts usta have different ingredients. There both the same now though.
I had Canary Waffles on the podcast recently talking about non specific sciencey stuff ,it got me thinking so I came up with a thing I called the aardvark discriptor paradox which doesn't mean anything in relation to what we're talking about but might just bamboozle some gym rats for ten minutes
What would be an example. 40 seconds in, your energy drink sitting exactly in frame.
Jumping the shark, babes.
he lost me at "bag of pringles" 😂
The whole CGI backdrop thing is incredible but feels a bit disconnected to whats being discussed. It feels unnecessary and bit too much. Also, most people aren't even watching, they're just listening. If you want to improve the production value and visual interest, it needs to be relevant to the discussion.
The scale of the background made the conversation seem small and unimportant.
That background is crazy
Both my dad’s parents got type 2 diabetes from eating fruit loops for breakfast every day for 30+ years
Chris Williamson's hairline for a guy who is 36 is nuts.
Takes a stand on statins. Won't take a stand on ultra-processed foods.
A bag of pringles is crumbs
The background is way too distractive. I would prefer it to be more static.
God, these backdrops are absurdly distracting. What an incredible waste of money and time.
I hate it. Please no more.
A bag of pringles? I didn’t hear any of the rest of the podcast
I literally paused the video to mentally process what i just heard.
I don’t eat many processed food and I’ve lost 25 lbs in the past four months. But because of this, I almost creamed my pants looking at the goodies in the thumbnail lol
Candy in the morning isn't necessarily so bad. First half marathon I did sub 1h30min started around noon, legs were like wings thanks to a huge slice of cinnamon apple cake for breakfast. That's just pure fuel for a runner. However, as a TRUE masculine man I make those cakes myself, rather than thinking "baking is a women's thing". Apples were picked from the garden, never saw weird chemicals.
As for processed foods, think about supplements for workouts. Like protein powder. That stuff is just as nasty as any frozen pizza or Kelloggs product. Still the "healthy" guys keep chugging their shakes... (that said, I'm sure there are some options that are worse than others but if you are so in need of protein - at least eat it as proper food and not powder)
Dude, candy in the morning is inherently bad…
I mean, you’re literally giving the most extreme example of running 13 miles😂
How many people do you truly think are doing this in the morning after their frootloops?
@@Berticus92 Sure, the example is not an everyday thing, but I'm not the only one that works out in the morning or burns alot of calories during the day - that's not very unusual. That said, I don't really do fruit loops or any of the other sugar coated cereals unless it's "for fun" once every few months. There are more cost effective, better tasting AND healthier options out there. Like a bowl of muesli and milk. Or, even oatmeal and milk if you want it cheaper. My go-to breakfast (or evening meal) if I want healthy energy is 1-2 ripe bananas cut to smaller pieces, and a handful or two worth of raisins in a bowl - fill it up with muesli or oatmeal, add some jam (I use my home made jars), and fill to the rim with milk. You can't beat that, really. And, it's veggie friendly! :)
My point was just that there are times when sugar has it's place, and also (between the lines) that people with a sweet tooth (like me!) should consider running more if they want to get fit, as the food you want to eat becomes more useful then.
Meh…they are just snacks. Over consumption of them are bad. But have a donut once in a while.
