Thanks. It's a pity all these EXPERTS on the internet didn't just do what you have just done. Made a list of "BAD" ?? They are all the same ..... The word BABEL rings a bell.
Nutmeg? I'm from the Caribbean. We hv used Nutmeg for centuries. Suitable amounts that is. It's quite medicinal amd actually relieves my headaches rather than aggravating them
Same here. I use it in my porridge, coffee, iced coffee, shakes, etc. and it can ease nausea when traveling long distance by car. I’m sorry but this just seems like it’s targeted to promote Keto. I love his videos but nahhhh. Nah buy dis one 😞
@@Azimi001 but nobody is gonna eat a whole bunch of nutmeg. You grate a little bit of it for certain recipes or you can buy it it powered form like cinnamon.
My grand mother ate mostly potatoes and beans in her meals and she died at 98 years old without any other diseases. Maybe because they weren't genetically modified
Very real warnings. You rarely find green potatoes. You do, sometimes, though, and its serious. I have experienced that. You never find or eat green almonds! You only use a trace of nutmeg. You are so right to warn, Dr. Berg
Nutmeg is used for better sleep and has lots of other medicinal properties . I always use in smaller quantity like just grate it equal to one or two pinch While making winter dessert recpies and never had issues
@@emh8861 You don't have too, but the point is that that is everything in HIGH quantity can harm you or kill you. Even breathing kills you slowly over the year due the oxidative stress 🤣
Exactly! Most recipes I have ever used only call for a pinch and up to 1/4 tsp (rarely 1/2 tsp) nutmeg at most, and that is for many servings. NYT ran an article and here's an exerpt: "The study also explains how much is considered toxic, saying that 1 to 3 nutmegs, or 5 to 15 grams (that's 1 to 3 teaspoons), is the reported toxic dose. This intoxication usually passes in 24 hours, the report says, though in some cases psychosis has set in for up to six months." Still need to keep it away from small children and overly adventurous teens, though.

Nutmeg in about a pinch is perfectly fine. Who has nutmeg everyday, anyway? All beans should be cooked properly, good for digestion. Brown rice soaked for about 2 hours & washed, is good to eat.
To reduce the arsenic in your rice, first give it a good rinse. Place the grains in a fine mesh strainer and pour water over them until it runs clear. Cook the rice in excess water, at a ratio of one cup of rice to six cups of water, and drain any extra leftover once the grains are tender.
@@NJLev he said to drain the water out when the grains are tender. That’s how they cook it back in the villages in my country. I was surprised when I saw it, believe me, it’s not mushy at all, it’s well done and not sticky. It’s a great technic.
I come from Central America and I heard many women use to drink the water from undercooked red beans (the water when they first boil) to provoke a miscarriage, now I understand how it works.
Any food produced in the US should avoided. Most are full of transfats and way too much corn syrup and salt. I know this because I watch a lot of ewetube vids and see how being hugely obese is considered normal.
As a scientist. As a molecular biologist, and as someone who worked years on cutting edge biology, Dr Berg never, ever, in my opinion, delves into pseudo science. His work is always first class. While there are always alternative science, research, studies etc. that may be opposite of his comments, the things that he discusses..... the things that he has opinions on, are for the most part brilliant, and I wish him well. I am a proud member of the Dr Berg fanclub. Thank you sir!
@Xana What a bizarre accusation! Have you been watching too much Princess Bride? Just exactly what did I say that seemed to you to be a lie? I assure you, my credentials are impeccable. World famous university education (Vandy), world famous biotech supplier(Biorad), and world famous cutting edge genomics company(Affy)..... Are you saying, then that Dr Berg's posts are lies?
@Xana Bueno, mi amor. No hablo Portuguesa, solamente castellano, pero seguro que no tienes bastante vello púbico para ser in RUclips. Lo siento, chicitin.
My dad had a high fever last Sunday and had to be admitted to the ICU of the local hospital. Apparently his doctor found E Coli in his blood stream and he was in sepsis shock. Although the doctor said he was in critical condition with heart failure also, he has made a remarkable recovery within the course of four days. Now that he is conscious he remembered that he had eaten at a tasty local Chinese beef restaurant but with pretty poor sanitary conditions and he suspects that’s where he got the E Coli poisoning from.
I don't go to most Asian restaurants because of all the seed oils they cook in. Mexican restaurants are similar. Find some good recipes and make them at home.
Your stomach can’t break down the pit to get the stuff he is taking about out and into your blood. Take what this guy says with a grain of salt. Some stuff is great some stuff…..eeehhhh.
Balance...everything is a balance. I've lost 40 lbs over the past 12 months (now at my target weight), and I'm keeping it off while eating things like potatoes, rice, breads including pizza, even fruits. What I've learned? Just don't eat those things everyday at every meal, and fast. I typically skip breakfast. For me the idea of completely giving up ALL starches is not reasonable, or necessary. Balance...everything is a balance.
I have always preached and still believe in the food square. Too much of anything is bad and even sugar foods can be balanced out with veggies or exercise or both. Everyone's body is unique and each person needs to study and figure out what works best for them... and while I don't endorse unhealthiness, if eating thirty times a day and becoming a human blob is your ambition, go for it if that's what you really want. And if you wanna be a living stick figure, again, your body your choice. I am content with my 235lb dad bod.
I like the way the doctor just starts right into all of the items that he's talking about and doesn't drag it on forever not too many are doing what he's doing so God love them
As a Slavic woman, I was taught of everything what this doctor said since childhood. In my family this knowledge is obvious....I never appreciated this as much as I do now. Feels like no one spoke of it to people around for long years Edited: in my family we throw green potatoes out without hesitation
@@francisdec1615 I'm from Russia and I knew only about poison in green potatoes. I even tried to eat 1 or 2 raw nutmegs (plus some powdered) in my childhood to get a psychoactive effect.
In Nigeria there is what we call foreign rice. when I eat it, I bloat and my stomach is in acidic pain. So I avoided rice for long but I love eating rice with lettuce, kale green peppers onions etc. so I opted for the rice grown in Nigeria which wasn't long grain and still quite wild. I got it, washed it thoroughly, soaked it for like 3 hrs and cooked it. since I started eating that rice, I never felt the pains again, in fact my stomach felt healed. I realized it is the soil, west African rice is grown with its rivers, very good soils, little wonder it has been the regions staple food. Well I eat our rice 2 times a week with a lot of raw green leafy vegetables, tomatoes onions etc
@let Quinoa is good but we don't grow it here. As a matter of fact I don't think it has a name in any west African language, well not sure of other parts of Africa. Here we grow something similar, it is called fonio.
Eric, there was a doctor who treated hundreds of patients with cancer with laetrile (natural cyanide) from bitter almonds and apricot seeds. I have tried these before and I did get a headache so the cyanide is real. Interesting thing is the laetrile seems to "know" when a cell is being devoured by a tumour and only releases the cyanide into the damaged/tumorous cell. It is basically nature's chemotherapy. patients have been able to eat up to 50 a day, which makes them sick, but it kills the cancer before it kills the patient and the damage/recovery is, as far as I know, more gentle. My headache was only an hour or so. This was shut down by the germ theorist mafia but the testimony of all his patients still stands as testimony to the effectiveness of natural cyanide in a controlled dose.
@@Drberg what do you mean especially brown rice? If farmers spraying pesticides on brown rice making it toxic than you know white rice is toxic too. Make it make cents not change 😂. Never like doctors. Always giving half truth and leaving out the other.
About the rice and arsenic. I’ve researched this. It totally depends on where it is grown. He is right, it’s in the soil. It also is affected by irrigation methods. You can actually look up which places have more or less arsenic. The least amounts are found in California, Malawi, India and Pakistan (basmati), and Thailand (jasmine rice) You can also get rid of arsenic in rice by soaking and rinsing, and cooking it in more water (then drain it).
I rinse it with cold water then tip a kettle full of hot water on it, even though I eat Australian brown rice, doesn't hurt to be safe in this scenario
I eat brown rice, too coz they say it's healthier alternative to white rice. It's still safe as long as it's organic, isn't it? I'm a bit confused now.
I am currently 4.5 months pregnant and would love to see a video about what to eat for pregnancy from Bergs perspective. I can't really do keto right now and I most certainly can't fast.
@@Drberg I took note of all my other ate when pregnant with me and my siblings and she ate mostly fish diet when pregnant with me. She stayed away from it when pregnant with my brother and ate some with my sister. At school I gave no problems, my brother a lot and my sister some. Sometimes I wonder if that is a link to the fish. Also I was bottle feed and my uncle wasn't. He is always sick or ill but I think that has to do with whatever my mom gave me when in her belly. Well if you have videos on that let me know. Thanks
Informative video as always. Cyanide in the pits is said to specifically target cancer cells and there are those who have said they were cured of their cancers by eating apricot pits or other similar seeds. It would be great if Dr. Berg could do a video on the effect of these seeds on cancer cells.
@@s.marshian8455 I don't know any sane person who would recommend that, but you are free to do that if you like. I wouldn't be surprised if tobacco is more effective and far less toxic than chemo in fighting any cancer. Even cigarettes are a far less dangerous drug since smoking takes many decades to kill you while chemo could do it in a few months.
Dr. Berg thank you. However I would like for your channel to kindly clarify that nutmeg itself is not going to kill you rather it should have said “large quantities of nutmeg”. In the Caribbean we use nutmeg for a lot of meals without issues. Nutmeg is very nutritious and by listing it you could be preventing persons from ever even trying it. Everything in moderation as they say. Thanks for your hard work.
Strange! My mother ate 30 years almost everyday brown rice, and meat or chicken once per month, she's 90 now. Three of her younger sisters already died, they were everyday meat eaters.
Dr what about the things that rott in your colon; broccoli 🥦 cauliflower beans onions 🧅 oats wheat the gas is a sign of it rotting because the small intestines digest them
We love green raw almonds in my culture. But ofcourse its seasonal so they're only available for couple weeks in a year. We eat them washed and dipped in salt, like a snack. And honestly, I don't know anyone who has gotten sick or died from it but...it's good to know.
On the contrary, people from the Hunza Valley in Pakistan eat the apricot kernels along with a healthy diet and they live a long life. Alternative medicine uses bitter apricot kernels (vit B17) for cancer treatment but it is cheap and not good for big pharma. I had a non-cancerous cyst in my hand and I was going to have it removed through surgery but I did start eating 2 to 3 bitter apricot kernels a day for almost 2 weeks and now it is not visible, so no $urgery for me.
The uncooked red kidney beans aren’t the only beans. I got food poisoning from the same toxicity when I did not soak another type of uncooked beans long enough or cook them long enough . I forgot if it is white beans or something else. I committed and had abdominal cramps. So that uncooked red kidney beans is super true. This is why my grandma would soak beans for hours and hours not just to get rid of starch but that too. She would like cook beans for hours too. Thanks for your video,Dr. Berg. 😎👍🏽
@@HH-gv8mx I think canned ones are safe because they have been soaking in liquids and boiled. But cans can have BPA. Plus, calcium choride is a bad preservative. Whole Foods has safer canned beans. Not as good-tasting as Goya Beans though.
Doctor why brown rice? Iam eating it for many years and our doctors said that brown rice is better than white rice Please clear this dr berg. Im following you for ur advices 😢
I am so relieved that I do not consume any of these things that you just mentioned Dr. I will pass this information to my mother because she does eat some of these foods. Thank you for the information.
Hello Dr Berg. Im from Kerala in South India. 99.9 percent of us have been eating brown rice for centuries... and we consider it the healthiest and unadulterated form of rice which is THE staple food for South Indians. But considering that most exported brown rice actually contains added colour to look authentic...I have no.comments.
You've got to listen to what he's saying, brown rice grown in the USA is what his reference is to. Pay attention!!! It's not the rice that's poisonous, it's where it's grown the arsenic leeches into the rice.
@@raphaelmutili forgot to mention that I hit a platue from end of November.. So December I took it easy and continued with usual routine. This year want to take it a notch higher and do what the Dr. Said in his platue video. 👍
@@aggreyondeyo that's amazing! I lost 39kg last year just by cutting out Soda and Mcdonalds, and I tried to walk 10000 steps every day. I eat around 3000 calories per day, 267g of carbs, 263g of protein and 90-100g of fat.
In eastern Europe apricot kernels are consumed especially for cancer treatment due to the effects from natural content of amygdalin/cyanide which is known to kill cancer cells. My mum used to tell me that as kids, she and her 6 siblings used to eat 5-10 every other day as they grew up in a farm and grew their own fruit, veg and a few animals. Way healthier living than myself! Disclaimer; if you’re considering adding apricot to your diet, please do your research and don’t dive in as your body needs to build a tolerance slowly… starting with 2-3 is okay. PS; some variants are very bitter
I grew up eating raw cashews, if not in cups but a fistful. And also nutmeg . We Indians use it for various curries. And the amount used for a curry for 6 ppl would be a half or 3/4 th of a nutmeg.And brown rice is a staple food in the southern part of a state in India. They eat cooked brown rice daily with fish cooked in coconut oil. The place name is Mangalore in Karnataka State.
@@derpywho1394 I personally know a person who uses nutmeg powder in milk for her kid. She says in her native people use this to boost the immune system and is an alternate for a sugary , unhealthy chocolate drinks that we feed children . Nutmeg is used for various medicinal properties in India
@@guruk Yes. This one what Dr is showing is the same rice thats used there. I am not sure if he means par boiled or brown rice. But to a common audience he is mentioning brown rice .
I heard that bitter apricot pits also contain the same cyanide compound. BUT some people use it as a potential cancer treatment. It came to be known as amygdalin, or Vitamin B17, and a semi synthetic version Laetrile.
Doctor Berg I have my right side pain chronic already long time. Doctors did lots of tests, but couldn’t find out. Can u tell me why please? I am 60 years old.
My grandpa ate boiled potatoes every day of his life and lived to 93. And he was thin. Green potatoes are bitter and most people wouldn't eat them anyway. But potatoes are not a bad food and contain vitamins and minerals that are good for you.
OpMmom, I just wanted to say for better information green potatoes are actually rotting and it's the gas that comes from the potatoes. I hope this helps.
@@debbiefinney5779 Rotting potatoes can indeed be lethal. My husband's brother and his wife died from the toxic gases when they got trapped inside of a cellar where potatoes were stored and rotting. I think the gas was methane. On the other hand, when I was a kid, I used to ask my mother for a slice of raw potato when she was preparing potatoes to cook in a meal. I liked the taste of raw potato, and still do. It was also nice and crispy and crunchy, which I also liked. Never had a problem, but I never got anything green, either.
Very interesting! Regarding the cyanide, I read that apricot almonds (within the pit) contain cyanide, but it's not free cyanide. It's part of a bigger molecule called nitriloside, consisting of cyanide, benzaldehyde and glucose, also known as vitamin b17. Human cells take them in, and inside there are two enzymes interacting with the nitriloside. The first one, called beta glucosidase takes it apart to its component, yielding cyanide, benzaldehyde and sugar. This enzyme is present in small amount. In a much larger amount there's the second enzyme, rhodanese, which convert cyanide and benzaldehyde into molecules that are good for the body, relaxing, improving blood pressure, and more. On the other hand, cancer cells contain great amount of beta glucosidase and no rhodanese, therefore nitrilosides entering those cells become large amount of cyanide, with no rhodnanese to neutralize them, hence they kill them. Bottom line, in the apricot case, as in apple pits and more seeds, the cyanide is a good thing, as it's part of many other entities and processes. I wonder if it could be the case also for green almonds and cherry pits.
B17 definitely seems to help against cancer...but once I ate about 20 apricot kernels as an experiement...I got a really bad headache for about 3 hours, and felt like passing out...actually I wanted to pass out to stop the headache ; ) Anyway after drinking lots of water and a few hours, I was fine ; )
Dr Berg I always was given 1mg nutmeg with honey as a kid for bad tummy and inflammation. From Ayurveda to ancient medicines, nutmeg has been used as a potent spice to improve sleep,health, immunity and what not! It is packed with the goodness of minerals such as magnesium, manganese and copper and other essential vitamins such as B1, pl some clarification would be good.
One whole nutmeg weighs between 5 to 10 grams. GRAMS. GRAMS!!! In the video, he talked about consuming 2 WHOLE NUTMEGS! Do the math people!!! People should really hone their listening and comprehension skills.
Go watch Dr Shiva Ayyadurai or reach out to him on social media. He is an expert on Ayurveda and will be able to explain about Nutmeg. He is also very easy on the eye and a scientist and even invented the email that we use today 🌸☀️
NUTMEG is used in INDIA generously in betel leafs called paan. The Nutmeg is used for insomnia, digestion. Myself used it by grinding a SMALL piece with water and consuming it for Insomnia and generally felt great. Note:Herbs/medicines should be used for a week or once in a while if needed. Not for life long 😉
Nutmegs aren't used in betel leaves at all. You are probably mixing them up with betel nuts, or supari. Supari and jaiphal are completely 2 different seed, the former grows on a normal tree and the supari grows on a palm tree . And yes too much of nutmeg can be toxic. I've read it elsewhere too.
Very informative! I never knew that a high usage of nutmeg and the arsenic levels found within brown rice can contribute to the lethality of these food items. Moderation is key. Thanks for sharing this!
Dr Berg. Brown rice is the best rice you can have. Its basically an American problem with your farming. Brown rice contains more vitamins and roughage than white rice and has been eaten for centuries in most of the world
its more a Texas and Arkansas problem....rice from other areas of the USA aren't arsenic laden....at least that is what I've been told and read about.....
That's true I don't believe his information brown rice is the best may be because he is on kito every body needs to be on kito too my mum use brown rice to cook and she is ok
I never knew nut meg was harmful. I grew up in a country that nutmeg and cinnamon are one of our favorite spices especially used in porridge and some homemade drinks. Maybe it depends on where it's grown.
My rule is if that community has a low death rate and many healthy elderly people then I stick with the ancestry nutrition. They've been eating that way and they're perfectly fine 🤷🏽♀️.
I remember that for a short period of time, young adults were huffing nutmeg powder to try to get high. I heard a news story about it and sorta chuckled. My friend gave me a whole nutmeg. I used it once, just a few scrapes across the zester and promptly lost it somewhere in my kitchen ever since.
As a child growing up my mom used to give us Nutmeg in hot milk. She also cooked brown rice for us . As an adult I don't used Nutmeg but I sometimes cooked brown rice. In these times it's hard to know what will make anyone get sick .
@꧁ Tú Muy Bien ꧂ Dr Berg has said the brown rice is not good due to the growing process and its the pesticides used that make it Bad. So, it depends how and where it is grown.
❤my mom and dad were both telling me to always eat healthy and never bloody meat 🥩 or ham and pork or chicken 🐔,,,lamb or beef 🥩 because it would kill you if it wasn’t cooked properly or all of the time it wouldn’t be dead ☠️,,,basically,,,you don’t have to eat meat 🍖 or meat that is not dead ☠️ already,,,,,,it’s not healthy to eat raw meat because it’s raw and it’s unhealthy to consume it because it’s not good for you,,,,because that’s just what and how we are eating and enjoying our meat and food 🥘 without being sick 🤒 about the fact that it’s unhealthy,,,because it’s unhealthy for others but it’s super healthy to consume raw meat 🥩 for us……. So WHAT ❤
Important - arsenic in rice is dependent on region it is grown. CA rice (Lundberg brand) is better choice and not rice grown in the South. Rice grown in India or Pakistan as well is okay. From the video Happy Healthy Vegan, I found that it is best to boil your rice in a lot of water - just as you would when you cook pasta.
Brown rice? From your explanation it is not the brown rice variety per se, but its more of the environment where it is planted. Question: How about if another variety of rice (not brown rice) is planted on the same environment you mentioned, does it produce the same toxic as brown rice?
I have this problem exactly with kidney beans. I can’t have them freshly cooked or out of the can or any cross contamination with the juice. I get every symptom he mentioned. The vomiting and diarrhea goes on for hours and hours. It makes me feel like I’m going to die. Same thing with green beans fresh, canned or frozen. It’s horrific. Doesn’t matter how long they’re cooked or prepared they’re toxic to me. 🙄
Me too. I'm so sick with stomach pains . My health care advisor told me to soak it and throw off that water before cooking. I did but it never works so I stopped eating it.
The man who discovered oxalic acid died from sorrel soup, which contains very high levels of oxalate (oxalic acid). Spinach and chard are also very high in oxalates as are almonds. Many wild plants such as purslane and lambs quarters that are often foraged for food are also even higher in oxalates.
Apricot kernels and cherry pits (mahlab) have been used in cooking/baking in Europe and the Middle East forever...the heat renders them edible. Same for Cassava (yuca) root
Dr Berg, you are right on point🙏. Two years ago, I ate undercooked red kidney bean. I was having excruciating stomach pain after that. Not knowing what was wrong with me, for three nights, I was in pain can’t sleep the whole night. I thought I was going to die. I went to see the doctor, the doctor thought I was having IBS Problem. The doctor sent me for ultrasound and scan trying to look what was wrong with my stomach. The result came back, they couldn’t find anything. So, no medication was given to me. and finally I feel well after a week or so. For the past 2 years, I didn’t know why I was having so much pain. Today, i watched your video. I finally got my answer . Thank you so much doctor. I appreciate everything you done. I learn a lot from your video. Keep it coming and thank you for sharing this beneficial information. 👍🙏❤️👍
Thank you for bringing awareness to these foods! I had all of the symptoms you mentioned after cooking kidney beans about 4 weeks ago. I felt like I was going to die!
Nutmeg permanently sorted out my insomnia. I started having trouble sleeping after a major surgery a few years ago. It seemed to me that it was the general anesthesia that caused it, but I can't be certain. I wasn't able to sleep normally for a couple of years. I tried every natural remedy I could find and eventually I had to ask my doctor for some sleeping pills because I wasn't able to function. One day, I found out about nutmeg and its dangerous side effects if overdosed. The sleeping pills (which I agreed with my GP I would only take 2-3 times a week) were giving me bad side effects, so I decided to give nutmeg a go. I used quarter of a teaspoon 10 minutes before going to bed. It worked like a charm. I stopped taking the sleeping pills and started taking nutmeg every night. After a few weeks I stopped taking it, because I felt I didn't need it anymore. I was right, the insomnia was gone and I haven't had any trouble sleeping since.
Actually green raw almonds are pretty common here in Turkey and they are known as "çağla". You can find it pretty much in every farmer's market in season and I've never heard someone who got sick.
As an Asian we eat kidney beans and rice by the gallons and never ever have I or my family past or present being poisoned by it. I've heard eating leftover rice is poisonous - we eat leftover rice by the buckets!! 😂 Have done for generations! where do people come up with some of this nonsense??
Mostly fear porn and people think they will live forever. Also 1st world problem a they have all the materials of the world and they need to worry about death!
The Yghani1 I agree with you. We need to do our own research and stop listening to the so-called expects, they don’t always know what they are talking about. I and family have eaten brown rice and kidney beans for years, no one has gotten sick. Such nonsense!😂
Having a Jamaican Mother we use Nutmeg always and she lived to age 72 and then came Covid 19 that killed her 2021. R.I.P Everything in Moderation. California 💛
She didn't die at home. She died in the hospital. Find out what the treatments were she received from the hospital. Research the treatments and then you will understand what happened to her and many others. I am sorry for your loss.
As a raw meat aficionado living in France I take my life into my own hands every time I order Steak Tartare in a restaurant. Gotta live on the edge sometimes!
Never got sick eating nutmeg. But we only used it in baking, not eating the actual nutmeg itself. I soak my nuts and dehydrate them. Does that get the cyanide out?
Interesting presentation. Since I was a kid in the 50’s we were taught to never eat the green potatoes; any green uncooked or roasted nuts; any fruit pits. A whole nutmeg was never seen. And bloody, undercooked meat is a total NO 🤢.
Hey dr berg, what about apricot kernals straight from the tree after consuming the fruit? Is it true apricot kernals are anti- cancerous or can reduce the growth of cancer?
Note he did not answer you. He didn't because he either doesn't know or he bought into the lie that it is harmful and you should avoid them. Don't because they have anti cancer fighting Vit B17 in them. I have been eating these seeds for years. Peach, Apricot, Nectarine, Plum, Apple seeds & Watermelon Seeds. I eat them when I eat the fruit. They are delicious and are not to be feared. As he said, if you ate like 1,000 of them it might hurt ya. I would say eat no more than 5 or 6 and you are good. I can't eat 5 or 6 peaches at once so I wouldn't eat that many seeds at once either. Big pharma is cracking down on info like this. Learn to heal yourself. God bless. Oh, and eat fruit. God made fruit. People who think you are not supposed to eat fruit are wrong.
I just cut my meal size down and stopped all sugar while eating only between noon and 6 pm. I lost 60 pounds so far since maybe last Oct. I don't eat much pasta but still do. I feel quite a bit better in my disability now without the weight.
One thing to note is that swallowing a cherry pit will likely do nothing, because the cyanide (technically in a compound called amygdalin, which your body has to break down, not gaseous HCN) is contained inside the pit. If you chew it your body will have access to way more of the amygdalin than the practically zero if you just swallow it whole. Birds swallow cherry pits all the time and they're fine. You probably don't want to do that either way but just know that if you or a child does happen to swallow one there's no need to panic.
I think on that list the only ones to strictly avoid are the green potatoes, undercooked burgers, undercooked kidney beans and the cherry pits. The others just need to be sourced properly and taken in moderation.
This should have been the language used for this video not this absolute can kill you when its not entirely the food itself but how its grow. Less clickbaity but at least it doesn't give these wrong assumptions that the food itself no matter where you get them can kill you.. Really, brown rice? Such an ignorant way of telling people what is dangerous based only on their own country's way of farming it.
According to all the video's that I have been watching on line , I have seen that there's no need eating fruit or vegetables. Because evening is have ing a problem. Thanks
Dr Berg, do you recommend some kind of supplementation or something to avoid the long term damage caused by electromagnetic radiation? It would be interesting to see a video on this topic, considering that many of the symptoms are similar to common "colds", it is just an observation.

Green potatoes . No white potatoes, there are no green potatoes, do not confuse people
Nutmeg? I'm from the Caribbean. We hv used Nutmeg for centuries. Suitable amounts that is. It's quite medicinal amd actually relieves my headaches rather than aggravating them
Same here. I use it in my porridge, coffee, iced coffee, shakes, etc. and it can ease nausea when traveling long distance by car.
I’m sorry but this just seems like it’s targeted to promote Keto. I love his videos but nahhhh. Nah buy dis one 😞

Ya I am from india so we use it quite often in our food as well but I think what he means is the quantity. Should not eat too much.
@@Azimi001 but nobody is gonna eat a whole bunch of nutmeg. You grate a little bit of it for certain recipes or you can buy it it powered form like cinnamon.

Very real warnings. You rarely find green potatoes. You do, sometimes, though, and its serious. I have experienced that. You never find or eat green almonds! You only use a trace of nutmeg. You are so right to warn, Dr. Berg
Nutmeg is fine and safe as a spice in amount as low as a pinch for 4 servings and Indians have used it for centuries.
Nutmeg is used for better sleep and has lots of other medicinal properties .
I always use in smaller quantity like just grate it equal to one or two pinch
While making winter dessert recpies and never had issues
@@emh8861 You don't have too, but the point is that that is everything in HIGH quantity can harm you or kill you. Even breathing kills you slowly over the year due the oxidative stress 🤣
@@shelly1828 Love it in my egg nog.
Jamaicans have been using nutmeg for centuries.
Exactly! Most recipes I have ever used only call for a pinch and up to 1/4 tsp (rarely 1/2 tsp) nutmeg at most, and that is for many servings.
NYT ran an article and here's an exerpt: "The study also explains how much is considered toxic, saying that 1 to 3 nutmegs, or 5 to 15 grams (that's 1 to 3 teaspoons), is the reported toxic dose. This intoxication usually passes in 24 hours, the report says, though in some cases psychosis has set in for up to six months."
Still need to keep it away from small children and overly adventurous teens, though.

To reduce the arsenic in your rice, first give it a good rinse. Place the grains in a fine mesh strainer and pour water over them until it runs clear. Cook the rice in excess water, at a ratio of one cup of rice to six cups of water, and drain any extra leftover once the grains are tender.

My dad had a high fever last Sunday and had to be admitted to the ICU of the local hospital. Apparently his doctor found E Coli in his blood stream and he was in sepsis shock. Although the doctor said he was in critical condition with heart failure also, he has made a remarkable recovery within the course of four days. Now that he is conscious he remembered that he had eaten at a tasty local Chinese beef restaurant but with pretty poor sanitary conditions and he suspects that’s where he got the E Coli poisoning from.

I got it, washed it thoroughly, soaked it for like 3 hrs and cooked it. since I started eating that rice, I never felt the pains again, in fact my stomach felt healed.

Eric, there was a doctor who treated hundreds of patients with cancer with laetrile (natural cyanide) from bitter almonds and apricot seeds. I have tried these before and I did get a headache so the cyanide is real. Interesting thing is the laetrile seems to "know" when a cell is being devoured by a tumour and only releases the cyanide into the damaged/tumorous cell. It is basically nature's chemotherapy. patients have been able to eat up to 50 a day, which makes them sick, but it kills the cancer before it kills the patient and the damage/recovery is, as far as I know, more gentle. My headache was only an hour or so. This was shut down by the germ theorist mafia but the testimony of all his patients still stands as testimony to the effectiveness of natural cyanide in a controlled dose.
And the results of those patients?
Can you share the link to the study? Was it recent?

About the rice and arsenic. I’ve researched this. It totally depends on where it is grown. He is right, it’s in the soil. It also is affected by irrigation methods. You can actually look up which places have more or less arsenic. The least amounts are found in California, Malawi, India and Pakistan (basmati), and Thailand (jasmine rice)
You can also get rid of arsenic in rice by soaking and rinsing, and cooking it in more water (then drain it).
Who wants to eat brown rice in the first place?
I rinse it with cold water then tip a kettle full of hot water on it, even though I eat Australian brown rice, doesn't hurt to be safe in this scenario

Very interesting!
Regarding the cyanide, I read that apricot almonds (within the pit) contain cyanide, but it's not free cyanide. It's part of a bigger molecule called nitriloside, consisting of cyanide, benzaldehyde and glucose, also known as vitamin b17. Human cells take them in, and inside there are two enzymes interacting with the nitriloside. The first one, called beta glucosidase takes it apart to its component, yielding cyanide, benzaldehyde and sugar. This enzyme is present in small amount. In a much larger amount there's the second enzyme, rhodanese, which convert cyanide and benzaldehyde into molecules that are good for the body, relaxing, improving blood pressure, and more.
On the other hand, cancer cells contain great amount of beta glucosidase and no rhodanese, therefore nitrilosides entering those cells become large amount of cyanide, with no rhodnanese to neutralize them, hence they kill them.
Bottom line, in the apricot case, as in apple pits and more seeds, the cyanide is a good thing, as it's part of many other entities and processes.
I wonder if it could be the case also for green almonds and cherry pits.
Yeah, this is what I call sensationalizing potentially dangerous “foods”
EXACTLY
B17 definitely seems to help against cancer...but once I ate about 20 apricot kernels as an experiement...I got a really bad headache for about 3 hours, and felt like passing out...actually I wanted to pass out to stop the headache ; ) Anyway after drinking lots of water and a few hours, I was fine ; )

Nutmegs aren't used in betel leaves at all. You are probably mixing them up with betel nuts, or supari. Supari and jaiphal are completely 2 different seed, the former grows on a normal tree and the supari grows on a palm tree . And yes too much of nutmeg can be toxic. I've read it elsewhere too.

Myristica fragrance jaji or jadhikai is used in medicine with ashwagandha and other ingredients as aphrodisiacs. The quantity is much less.
You are correct
Very informative! I never knew that a high usage of nutmeg and the arsenic levels found within brown rice can contribute to the lethality of these food items. Moderation is key. Thanks for sharing this!
Good information Thanks so much doctor
Brown rice? They said it was good for diabetics.
Moderation in all things, 🤷♀️
Parboil the brown rice
There are extensive benefits to eating nutmeg also.
Nutmeg can be used as tranqulizer...all is about how we use things...what amounts and with what intentions.
Dr Berg. Brown rice is the best rice you can have. Its basically an American problem with your farming. Brown rice contains more vitamins and roughage than white rice and has been eaten for centuries in most of the world
its more a Texas and Arkansas problem....rice from other areas of the USA aren't arsenic laden....at least that is what I've been told and read about.....
Dr. Berg has me confused now. 😕 But happy I can still have Spanish rice!
That's true I don't believe his information brown rice is the best may be because he is on kito every body needs to be on kito too my mum use brown rice to cook and she is ok
I put chinese soy on my rice so it gets brown because then it’s more healthy and tastes better
Yeah not sure about the brown rice.
I never knew nut meg was harmful. I grew up in a country that nutmeg and cinnamon are one of our favorite spices especially used in porridge and some homemade drinks. Maybe it depends on where it's grown.
No, it just depends on how much you ingest and most people will never reach the toxicity levels because it takes *A LOT!*
In parts of the world where it is hot and humid, these spices are essential to kill pathogens in the foods even in the stomach.
One of the spices for Biryani is nutmeg!
My rule is if that community has a low death rate and many healthy elderly people then I stick with the ancestry nutrition. They've been eating that way and they're perfectly fine 🤷🏽♀️.
I remember that for a short period of time, young adults were huffing nutmeg powder to try to get high. I heard a news story about it and sorta chuckled. My friend gave me a whole nutmeg. I used it once, just a few scrapes across the zester and promptly lost it somewhere in my kitchen ever since.
As a child growing up my mom used to give us Nutmeg in hot milk. She also cooked brown rice for us . As an adult I don't used Nutmeg but I sometimes cooked brown rice. In these times it's hard to know what will make anyone get sick .
Every page on internet says brown rice is better than white rice. So I bought a big bag. Now doctor Berg says it can kill me. Wt 😒
@@aychingao replace rice with quinoa instead.. its a complete source of all vitamins and minerals the body needs
I'll give you hint. Eat brown rice or white. Milk with nutmeg or not. You will still die. You're welcome.
@@rhythmisadancer8394 k
@꧁ Tú Muy Bien ꧂ Dr Berg has said the brown rice is not good due to the growing process and its the pesticides used that make it Bad. So, it depends how and where it is grown.
❤my mom and dad were both telling me to always eat healthy and never bloody meat 🥩 or ham and pork or chicken 🐔,,,lamb or beef 🥩 because it would kill you if it wasn’t cooked properly or all of the time it wouldn’t be dead ☠️,,,basically,,,you don’t have to eat meat 🍖 or meat that is not dead ☠️ already,,,,,,it’s not healthy to eat raw meat because it’s raw and it’s unhealthy to consume it because it’s not good for you,,,,because that’s just what and how we are eating and enjoying our meat and food 🥘 without being sick 🤒 about the fact that it’s unhealthy,,,because it’s unhealthy for others but it’s super healthy to consume raw meat 🥩 for us……. So WHAT ❤
Important - arsenic in rice is dependent on region it is grown. CA rice (Lundberg brand)
is better choice and not rice grown in the South. Rice grown in India or Pakistan as well is okay. From the video Happy Healthy Vegan, I found that it is best to boil your rice in a lot of water - just as you would when you cook pasta.
Barbara Monsolino Thank you for the video info! Then you strain it? Stay well.
I rinse my rice until the water is clear. Twice as much water as rice to cook... I wonder if that helps...🤔
Soaking for atleast 2 hours, boiling in a lot of water and then draining that water.
@@auberjean6873 yes, straining the water after boiling is important.
@@JustJoyHowdy Boil the rice as you would boil pasta. A lot of water. don't buy rice grown in South US. - California rice is better choice.
Great info! I didn’t know that about Nutmeg. I’ve been adding that to my coffee at Kwik trip in the morning.
The type of nutmeg from KT and the amount daily isn’t enough to do anything. From the time you consume from day to day it’s gone from your system.
Brown rice? From your explanation it is not the brown rice variety per se, but its more of the environment where it is planted.
Question: How about if another variety of rice (not brown rice) is planted on the same environment you mentioned, does it produce the same toxic as brown rice?
It’s not good for you. That’s a common misconception, don’t eat it
@@CaneINu You're acting like a genius but in reality you know nothing!
I heard that all forms of rice have arsenic and it doesn't come from pesticides but it occurs naturally in some areas.
In his book Little Doctor the Swiss Dr Vogel promotes brown rice as a panacea against many health problems.
I have this problem exactly with kidney beans. I can’t have them freshly cooked or out of the can or any cross contamination with the juice. I get every symptom he mentioned. The vomiting and diarrhea goes on for hours and hours. It makes me feel like I’m going to die. Same thing with green beans fresh, canned or frozen. It’s horrific. Doesn’t matter how long they’re cooked or prepared they’re toxic to me. 🙄
Me too. I'm so sick with stomach pains . My health care advisor told me to soak it and throw off that water before cooking. I did but it never works so I stopped eating it.
Soak it overnight and discard the water
Do you have any problems eating lettuce, peas, lentils, or soy?
I use to have that problem until I soaked them over night and rinse next day thoroughly
@@suzanneswett4811 I do I avoid grains, beans and lentils
The man who discovered oxalic acid died from sorrel soup, which contains very high levels of oxalate (oxalic acid). Spinach and chard are also very high in oxalates as are almonds. Many wild plants such as purslane and lambs quarters that are often foraged for food are also even higher in oxalates.
Apricot kernels and cherry pits (mahlab) have been used in cooking/baking in Europe and the Middle East forever...the heat renders them edible. Same for Cassava (yuca) root
My wife makes a little white rice and adds cut up to size of rice, cauliflour , healthy or no?
Another amazing video Dr Berg. I'm shocked that brown rice is not good!!! You are my long life teacher ❤️💞🤓
He sure needs to elaborate on this. This is news for me too.
And I im shocked for brown rice, every one talk brown rice is the best, I have cooking brown rice for my baby 7 month and now 2 years 🤦♀️
@@ori3176 and guess what.... You're both still alive! Keep going and enjoy life
Brown rice??? This is a strange one.
I thought all rice have it. I eat parboiled whole grain rice almost every day. Oops.
Dr Berg, you are right on point🙏. Two years ago, I ate undercooked red kidney bean. I was having excruciating stomach pain after that. Not knowing what was wrong with me, for three nights, I was in pain can’t sleep the whole night. I thought I was going to die. I went to see the doctor, the doctor thought I was having IBS Problem. The doctor sent me for ultrasound and scan trying to look what was wrong with my stomach. The result came back, they couldn’t find anything. So, no medication was given to me. and finally I feel well after a week or so. For the past 2 years, I didn’t know why I was having so much pain. Today, i watched your video. I finally got my answer . Thank you so much doctor. I appreciate everything you done. I learn a lot from your video. Keep it coming and thank you for sharing this beneficial information. 👍🙏❤️👍
Maybe you could let your MD know (if they are open to patient input!) to help subsequent patients.
And now I understand a source of witchcraft
This video is 🔥
So doctor didn't even gave you pain medicine? Wow They are useless sometimes
Never undercook any type of beans,,,make sure they're well cooked
Thank you for bringing awareness to these foods! I had all of the symptoms you mentioned after cooking kidney beans about 4 weeks ago. I felt like I was going to die!
oh no i just consumed half a nutmeg in my jamaican carrot juice
Brown rice too Idont think so i have been eating for quite sometime most people recomended for good health esp diabitics.
Wow, I can't believe they've used arsenic since the 40s !
Uh , that was UNCOOKED Kidney beans 🫘 🤨
@@esterwyman - No . . . it says "under-cooked" rather than 'uncooked'.
Doc. So brown rice must avoided to eat? Im consuming this rice for almost 3years till now.
Nutmeg permanently sorted out my insomnia. I started having trouble sleeping after a major surgery a few years ago. It seemed to me that it was the general anesthesia that caused it, but I can't be certain. I wasn't able to sleep normally for a couple of years. I tried every natural remedy I could find and eventually I had to ask my doctor for some sleeping pills because I wasn't able to function. One day, I found out about nutmeg and its dangerous side effects if overdosed. The sleeping pills (which I agreed with my GP I would only take 2-3 times a week) were giving me bad side effects, so I decided to give nutmeg a go. I used quarter of a teaspoon 10 minutes before going to bed. It worked like a charm. I stopped taking the sleeping pills and started taking nutmeg every night. After a few weeks I stopped taking it, because I felt I didn't need it anymore. I was right, the insomnia was gone and I haven't had any trouble sleeping since.
Actually green raw almonds are pretty common here in Turkey and they are known as "çağla". You can find it pretty much in every farmer's market in season and I've never heard someone who got sick.
Evet ilginç
Exactly because NO ONE eats as much as you need to eat to be poisoned.
What happens if you put nutmeg in your pipe and smoke it?
In Greece we also eat them, I guess these are sweet almonds not the bitter almonds and it's ok? That's what I understood
As an Asian we eat kidney beans and rice by the gallons and never ever have I or my family past or present being poisoned by it. I've heard eating leftover rice is poisonous - we eat leftover rice by the buckets!! 😂 Have done for generations! where do people come up with some of this nonsense??
Mostly fear porn and people think they will live forever. Also 1st world problem a they have all the materials of the world and they need to worry about death!
The Yghani1 I agree with you. We need to do our own research and stop listening to the so-called expects, they don’t always know what they are talking about. I and family have eaten brown rice and kidney beans for years, no one has gotten sick. Such nonsense!😂
I agree with you.
@@sharon-qc3gn he said don’t eat half cooked kidney beans
Ya, I have been consuming rice for 60 years. Still alive and eating more rice.
Amazing..very helpful video
Right on! Thanks for the feedback!
🤦🏻♂️ I’ve heard for years that brown rice is healthier than white rice.
But thanks, doctor.
Parboiled rice is healthy
@@sidkimuwallif4597 No rice is healthy even if arsenic free.

Not on this video.
He is not a physician, nor an MD. He has a doctorate in nutrition, so it is legitimate to be called doctor. He has disclosed this in his website.
he does not help anyone. but the opposite.

@@christinerobinson890 get out
In Asia, we eat brown rice and nutmeg with liquorice powder.
Sounds good. I love nutmeg and licorice.
Never got sick eating nutmeg. But we only used it in baking, not eating the actual nutmeg itself.
I soak my nuts and dehydrate them. Does that get the cyanide out?
Interesting presentation. Since I was a kid in the 50’s we were taught to never eat the green potatoes; any green uncooked or roasted nuts; any fruit pits. A whole nutmeg was never seen. And bloody, undercooked meat is a total NO 🤢.
Hey dr berg, what about apricot kernals straight from the tree after consuming the fruit?
Is it true apricot kernals are anti- cancerous or can reduce the growth of cancer?
Note he did not answer you. He didn't because he either doesn't know or he bought into the lie that it is harmful and you should avoid them. Don't because they have anti cancer fighting Vit B17 in them. I have been eating these seeds for years. Peach, Apricot, Nectarine, Plum, Apple seeds & Watermelon Seeds. I eat them when I eat the fruit. They are delicious and are not to be feared. As he said, if you ate like 1,000 of them it might hurt ya. I would say eat no more than 5 or 6 and you are good. I can't eat 5 or 6 peaches at once so I wouldn't eat that many seeds at once either. Big pharma is cracking down on info like this. Learn to heal yourself. God bless. Oh, and eat fruit. God made fruit. People who think you are not supposed to eat fruit are wrong.
I just cut my meal size down and stopped all sugar while eating only between noon and 6 pm. I lost 60 pounds so far since maybe last Oct. I don't eat much pasta but still do. I feel quite a bit better in my disability now without the weight.
One thing to note is that swallowing a cherry pit will likely do nothing, because the cyanide (technically in a compound called amygdalin, which your body has to break down, not gaseous HCN) is contained inside the pit. If you chew it your body will have access to way more of the amygdalin than the practically zero if you just swallow it whole. Birds swallow cherry pits all the time and they're fine. You probably don't want to do that either way but just know that if you or a child does happen to swallow one there's no need to panic.
Thank you for the information: blessings ( watching from Nairobi, Kenya)
I’m just curious how anyone can eat two whole nutmegs and why would they?
I like this guy, so mellow, smart.
I'm surprised with the brown rice. We really should be very careful to what we eat. Thanks doc Berg for this information.
and I thought the brown rice was good I don't understand I thought the white rice was really bad brown rice to
Me too. I decided to make a diet and few days ago I bought brown rice and I ate .The taste for me wasn't really good.
We consume mostly brown rice. I don't know what to feel about this ☹️
I just made brown rice and kidney beans for dinner
@@santacollins9276 Brown rice is good but depending what soil it was grown because any plant grown on a contaminated soil the plants also absorbed.
If it was up to Dr. Berg, we would live on hopes and prayers.
Good one 😅
Yes but too much of either might be a problem too.
Lol lol
Hilarious😂
Yes, really starting to dislike...
I think on that list the only ones to strictly avoid are the green potatoes, undercooked burgers, undercooked kidney beans and the cherry pits.
The others just need to be sourced properly and taken in moderation.
This should have been the language used for this video not this absolute can kill you when its not entirely the food itself but how its grow. Less clickbaity but at least it doesn't give these wrong assumptions that the food itself no matter where you get them can kill you..
Really, brown rice? Such an ignorant way of telling people what is dangerous based only on their own country's way of farming it.
According to all the video's that I have been watching on line , I have seen that there's no need eating fruit or vegetables. Because evening is have ing a problem. Thanks
Dr Berg, do you recommend some kind of supplementation or something to avoid the long term damage caused by electromagnetic radiation? It would be interesting to see a video on this topic, considering that many of the symptoms are similar to common "colds", it is just an observation.
sun and the earth gives constant electromagnetic radiation... and higher doses than microwave.
I recommend a properly fitted tinfoil hat.
