Taryn - Great video on an important topic!! If I may: Another item that should have made this list is 'seed oils' - especially canola oil (if you can get through the government push websites - GMO'd rapeseed) . That cr@p is in everything - if you cut out seed oils and HFC you have removed over half of the processed 'foods' available in the US. Both of these were pushed into the 'mass' produced foods in the '60s & '70s - while 'natural' fats were demonized and processed oils were pushed (think $$) - At the same time the American obesity rate began to climb: 1971-1974: The obesity rate was around 0.5% (!) 1976-1980: The obesity rate rose to 15.0% -- 1999-2000: it rose to 30.9% -- 2009-2010: it was 36% for adults In the '80s exercise was a 'big thing' socially (aerobics, jogging, etc) so being sedentary was not the reason for increase; Do your own research people - if you get ill from what you are eating, there is always 'big pharma' to sell you a pill to maintain, not improve, your health. Even if you can't afford or can't find organics - try what I call the Bible diet - All things in moderation and foods closest to the way the Lord made them (no, there is not a Doritos tree).
And children! When I was a kid, I don't think I ever saw an obese child. Of course we were also never still - no computers or video games. We were outside, running or riding bikes all the time.
Wonderful information. The US FDA is an absolute disgrace. Food recalls are happening constantly, AFTER the food is already inspected and on the shelves. The recent Boars Head lunch meat catastrophe happened with FDA Inspectors at the plant, they did nothing about the deplorable unsanitary conditions until people started getting sick. Since we can't rely on the government to keep us safe, we need more awareness of what to avoid. Thank you for this video.
The is is great!!! You are making viewers more aware of the chemicals that are harmful to us… either ingested or applied to our skin…especially scented perfumes …. Make Humans Healthy Again!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Fantastic video. After breast cancer surgery this summer I've become super vigilant about all these things that most people don't have a clue are impacting them negatively. This beautiful world has some ugly things.
People think I’m crazy for paying more for eggs and milk, but it’s because I want the hormone free versions. Funny that hormones bring the price down🤔 But yeah, one thing this 63 yr. old doesn’t need is more hormones😆
High glucose corn syrup has other names so also look for these: 1. Maize syrup 2. Glucose syrup 3. Glucose-fructose syrup 4. Tapioca syrup 5. Fruit fructose 6. Crystalline fructose 7. HFCS (the same name, just the shortened version) 8. Isoglucose 9. Corn syrup 10. Dahlia syrup
I always say to shop the areas of the store that God created. While I love some junk food, others have changed the taste so much all your getting is a chemical taste. That's why I make all my cookies, brownies, and cakes. I know what I put in them. I do buy Egglands Best eggs. I noticed they aren't the best, but they aren't the worst. Any thoughts on this?
THANK YOU TARYN MARIA for putting this important info in a video!!! There absolutely is an undeniable connection between BIG FOOD & BIG PHARMA!! It's so disgusting. The "food" keeps us sick & the meds are pushed to make us better--a horrible cycle that actually makes us so unhealthy & ill.
Brilliant Taryn. This truly is a gut decluttering video! You have highlighted incredibly important issues. Another additive I avoid is 'palm oil' (think rainforest depletion for its cultivation) unless firmly accredited from an organic sustainable source. Others are gelatine (mainly from boiled bovine/porcine bones) & lactose of dairy derivation (causing eczema in some). These two especially seem to make their way into so many foods & pharmaceutical products respectively as bulking agents & capsules.
Great video…. Knowledge is power, for sure… I’ve been a personal trainer for many years, I am 52… I was having stomach issues, and quit gluten and dairy for a few weeks… the changes were unreal!.. my skin cleared up, bloating went away, I slept better, etc I often say you do you, and choose what works for your own body/ health, but eating whole, real food I’d definitely a healthy path!..👍🤗❤️
I went on a keto diet after I got type 2 diabetes, and my blood sugar went from 144 (bad) to 91 (normal). Also my blood pressure went from 140/90 to 110/70, total cholesterol went from 210 down to 175, triglycerides went from 185 down to 67. When you go keto with real food (not corporate keto food products), you get rid of most of those things you mentioned as well. Thanks for your research.
Great job, that is amazing! I know two people who did the same and reversed their diabetes. The crazy thing was, neither of their doctors told them reversing diabetes was possible!
Great video, many truths. (And who else is not really looking out for us? -- the govt, the medical profession. You will find some real people in these institutions, but overall, we have to be very vigilant in everything!) (Added--I'm a nurse, I know what goes on in medicine.)
Thank you for sharing! Most of the sauces are made from these chemicals. It is really difficult to avoid unless you made everything from scratch. Not to mention even whole food are grown on less fertile land and sprayed with pesticides.
Bottom line: avoid processed food! You're absolutely right that the food industry is less about food and more about profit, unfortunately at the expense of our health and well-being.
Congratulations for your fantastic video and clear explanations. I am also worried about the ingredients that are added to our foods. The best and easiest advice you gave us and that I try to apply always is "if is a product has a long list of ingredients with strange names do not buy it". Regards from Chile.🌹
I make my own bread from scratch from organic flour and sourdough starter to be healthier. It is so worth the time and trouble. If I really tried, I could mill my own flour to be even healthier. We avoid all processed foods and especially anything with high fructose corn syrup. Nothing you can buy pre made, i.e. more than one ingredient, is healthy. So many preservatives too that you have to wonder what that does to the body.
@@tarynmaria_ if you have chlorinated water, that might be a problem to start a sourdough starter and keep it going. I started mine with just flour and water and over about a couple weeks of care, it started to bubble. Try and find starter instructions with just water and flour. But store bought yeast works too.
I love your videos, so much common sense and good explanations! I'm in the kitchen right now listening while i make breakfast 🥳 let's see what i can get rid of! 😎
If you like to drink soda I’ve got a tip. Take fresh squeezed lime juice (1 to 4 limes), fresh grated ginger (to taste), two packets of stevia, and one can of seltzer water. It’s a homemade citrus soda. All the calories come from the lime, which means this is 4 to 16 calories. A coke on the other hand is 140 calories. It tastes better than sprite, won’t make your heart race, and hydrates.
Hi, Taryn- love your channel! We have gotten ourselves to eat only one ingredient foods- meat and fresh vegetables. Still things in there I’m sure, but anything processed likely has chemicals/carbs/sugar and bad for you. All sugar is unhealthy. Been life changing for us and reversal of high blood pressure, T2 diabetes and all blood markets healthy. Late 50’s and we are on no meds! Grocery bill cheaper and so tasty. We do enjoy an occasional piece of birthday cake or special holiday meals and then right back to it. ❤️
@@tarynmaria_ it wasn’t easy but once you get past a point it clicks somehow and then wonder how you ever ate any other way. I was/am a sugar addict so need to be careful. My husband however can have one cookie and be fine…. Me, I can eat the whole bunch in no time.😂 Thank you for this video. My approach to cleaning/decluttering has been leveled up from your videos!❤
Thank you, very worthwhile information ❤ EGGS - ALWAYS look for “Certified Humane” label! Just “pasture raised” is NOT enough as it doesn’t guarantee the hens actually HAVE free access to roam about the pasture (big agribusiness deal they made with the FDA).
well cage free only means the chickens can go outside since the big warehouse they are in has the doors open pasture raised means that they are outside doing what chickens should do like eating insects etc
Unhappily neither here in Europe, we do not have only grass eating hens. The most part of them are still raised in big halls with little space to move and fed with colorants to obtain the desired yolk color shade for sale. I also have to carefully select organic eggs and of course, they come at higher price.
I have been saying for years that we did not have an obesity epidemic in this country until we started replacing sugar with corn syrup + it's in everything! Eat fresh or frozen products. And if you must buy soda, try to find the ones made with sugar. Pepsi does sell a 12 pack made with sugar. Cokes - if you can find a store specializing in Hispanic food, they'll have Coca Cola made in Mexico ( with real sugar)
I appreciate most of this information… especially the high fructose corn syrup info. However, the milk? Having been a dairy farmer for most of my life, (we are not now but are still in the dairy industry) if there ever were to be even a hint of antibiotics in the milk we shipped, we would be liable for any milk it was added to at the processing plant. You cannot begin to comprehend the amount of work that goes into avoiding that possibility. The cost would set a farmer back a years earnings … minimally… there are no antibiotics in milk. Dumping a days worth of milk production had happened to plenty of farmers in their lifetime which is costly enough, and sets one back a very long time in itself. The growth hormone was NEVER acceptable in milk either … this video was misleading in those areas. 😕
Thank you so much for sharing! I did get some of this info from the National Library of Medicine and I know that antibiotics are not allowed to be in milk but I am wary of how "zero antibiotics" is calculated. I think of it like trans fats - if there are less than 0.5 grams of trans fat per serving of a food, the label can say there are 0 trans fats, even though that isn't the case. But I really appreciate your perspective and information - I think understanding food labels and how the FDA classifies things is also important.
@@tarynmaria_ hmmm… I guess the feds are the least trustworthy. Antibiotics are tested in parts per million. There cannot be any. Sources are not all trustworthy. Unfortunately.
I'm from the UK, even though our food is better, it's still full of nasties. These nasties cause autoimmune conditions. After clearing my kitchen of almost everything, I ate only meat, eggs and diary for one month. My arthritis in my knees and hands went away, I didn't have a single headache (was having them daily before), my pre-diabetes was no more, my depression and anxiety vanished. Everything here has seed oils in, so eating out is a no no, anything in a packet or jar is a no no. My food cupboard is almost empty, shop weekly for meat, eggs and dairy. Yes, I keep falling off the wagon by eating crap, but I keep getting back on it because I know carbs and all the other nasties are making me ill.
I agree that you think "if it's sold in the grocery store, it must be okay to eat." What a sad situation that that's far from true. I love Center for Science in the Public Interest. CSPI has been a watchdog organization for many years, working to get the truth on our food labels and make our food safe. Thanks for this video.
Yes, this is very important! I’m european, so most of them don’t apply to me, but I did look up high fructose corn syrup because we don’t really use that over here and I wasn’t sure if it was because it’s banned, and I was chocked to find out that it’s not, and in fact is on the rise over here, so I need to be vigilant about avoiding that now! 😱 Also, I’ve never tried cheezits, so I don’t know how they taste, but I remember once trying a recipe for them and they were very easy to make and very delicious, so you should try making them yourself and see if you like them. 😊
Oh wow I didn't realize high fructose corn syrup was on the rise in Europe...URGH! Also, you are right - I did make homemade cheezitz once, and they were great ☺
I avoid all of the same things you've decluttered food wise, and also now always choose options not packaged in plastic when available. That's especially tricky and it's more expensive to buy products in glass bottles or jars instead of plastic, for instance, but forever chemicals are a huge concern.
Im hoping RFK gets involved in the food industry so these things can be changed. It would change the health...both physical and mental health of our country. All this info is definitely affecting how i will be voting!
Great video, thanks for sharing! Basically, one should try to only shop around the perimeter of the grocery store for whole, natural foods. Tough to do, but if it's in a box, one should probably try to avoid it. I believe Coors Light beer (and probably others) has High Fructose Corn Syrup in it... MSG - Many years ago, we had a Polynesian restaurant near work. They had a wonderful buffet and it was a popular spot to go for lunch and we often went with customers too. One week, I went two days in a row and after returning to work on the second day, I went into a fog...I couldn't see very well as it was though I was looking through a sparkler. I blamed it on MSG and it never happened again as I never did back to back days at that restaurant. MSG is weird stuff! I understand that artificial sweeteners cause an Insulin Response in the body and, despite being zero calorie, can still cause weight gain. Interesting info on eggs...I'll try to be more careful! Again, thanks for this video. I'm inspired to clean up my diet (again)...
Can you do a closer look into produce and meats on this topic? Which fruits veggies should we spend extra on for organic, is dirty dozen legit, I get grass-fed beef but what's the best chicken but not overpriced- should we get only organic meat etc ? Thank you
Thanks for the great content! Almost every mass market cookie, drink, sausage, chocolate, bread are very plastic and chemical, we should learn how to apply the rule “less is more” in food choices. Like buy just one pack of very expensive French brownies made with actual butter and eat it slowly in days, than buy a bunch of cheap snacks stuffed with palm oil and eat them up in one sitting. I’m just learning. Gained 5 extra kilos while seizing stress with junk food, not with 2 pregnancies…
First of all I want you to know I really enjoy your videos. This one was a real eye opener. I’ll tell you my experience. In about July the blue bell ice cream was on a great sale. I had not bought any in a long time because it had gotten sooo expensive! Well they’ve had it on sale ever since that. And I kept buying it. Now I’ve gained about 5 Lbs! I thought it might be from that ice cream. Your video probably proved it! I said all the time it was so addicting I craved it! It’s on sale again this week! I’m not going to buy it! I had not gained any weight for the last few yrs. Until now😔😒. Thanks for this video very much.
Thank you so much for sharing! You know what? I just checked the bluebell ice cream and it has a lot of high fructose corn syrup in it! I totally think it could be that rather than the fact of eating ice cream. Honestly, HFCS is horrible for weight gain!
@@tarynmaria_ Yes! like I said I had been the same weight for yrs eating anything and everything without gaining so yes I feel sure it was the HFCS. I'm anxious to stop it and see if I can lose the extra lbs.
Do you know what? I use olive oil. You can cook with it as long as you don’t heat it to smoking, and I also use it in all of my baked goods that call for vegetable oil!
@@MaCookie7 my husband has done a TON of research on olive oil and if you can believe it, the Walmart brand organic olive oil is the best! A lot of olive oils now are “blends” but the Walmart one is pure olives. It’s a bit pricey - $20 for 50 ounces but it’s the best value!
I read Ultra-Processed People by Chris van Tulleken and it completely changed my perspective! (Shorter and free resource) He does some wonderful interviews about his book also to educate not to scare.
For me, the angry over nothing and everything is apparently caused by the MSG-which I found out by giving it up for a while and then accidentally having it again (family pot luck dinner)
I only counted 9, but here they are: 1) MSG and its aliases, incl. yeast extract, torola year, umami, autolyzed yeast, textured protein 2) "Natural flavors" 3) HFCS 4) food dyes 5) potassium bromate 6) TBHQ (preservative) 7) Eggs that are NOT from pasture-raised chickens. 8) Milk from cows treated with rBST 9) carobonated drinks (soda, pop) Many of these have been known poisons for decades.
I found out about how bad MSG back in late 80s. I was suffering from migraines. I had one migraine so bad after eating at a Chinese restaurant that I thought I was have stroke or something along those lines. I went to a specialist neurologist who specalized in migraines and nothing worked. I caught a segment on Oprah where people were talking about how MSG affected them. I cut all MSG out of my diet and the migraines stopped. I got so furious in the 90s with the studies that said they could find no link of migraines and MSG. As for high futtose corn syrup I started noticing that I had trouble controlling my blood sugar I wasn't eating junk food so I couldn't figure it out until my son mentioned reading an article about it. I was shocked to find it in my bread, and other so called healthy foods. I won't eat things with it and my ability to control my blood sugar improved. I try very hard to eat as clean as possible.
Interesting / alarming that some of these are geographically variant and possibly US-specific. For example the Heinz Tomato Ketchup I buy here in France doesn't contain high fructose corn syrup.
I have lately become concerned about all the chemicals in our foods. One that concerns me is Mono-and-dicglycerides of fatty acids. It's a texturizing agent that can increase your risk of auto-immune disorders and mess up the good bacteria in your stomach. I've found this in so many items. I use an app called Yuka. It's not perfect, but it's not sponsored by any brands (that I know of), and it sometimes gives me better alternatives. Thank you so much for this video. It's really crazy what is allowed in our food! Any suggestions for greek yogurt without emulsifiers (pectin & gums)? Edit: I love Cheez-Its. Agh. Any alternatives suggestions?
Thank you for sharing - I am going to check out this app! And also - I have found that most organic yogurts don't contain pectin and other thickeners. I use the Stonyfield Organic Greek yogurt :) And for cheese it substitutions, I have sometimes get the Annie's Cheddar Squares, which taste almost the same!
Shredded cheese has antibiotics to keep it from clumping. I can't remember the name of it, but you have to get a Dr's prescription to take it if you are sick.
This is why I use the Yuka app. It's shocking. Also RFK Jr is rallying for healthy food in the US.. I been avoiding some of these ingredients for years now!
This is a great video. I am trying to break longstanding brand loyalty for my health. Please tell me a good clothes detergent. The one I use is blue and has a perfume scent.
Thank you! I have discovered that All Free & Clear is fairly ok - it's fragrance free, which is super important. I also really like the Blueland detergent tabs ☺
Hi Taryn, you have no idea of how much I appreciate this segment of your channel. I do try to educate myself for my own health issues, however, the more I learn the better for me. I also try to share as much as I learn. However, some people stir away from education as much as religion. Personally, I thank you for what you are doing.
I can’t believe you didn’t mention margarine. Margarine is 1 molecule away from being plastic. Organic butter is what we should be eating, or ghee. Butter got a bad rap a few decades ago, and its reputation still hasn’t recovered. So many people eat margarine, but butter is natural and your body can digest it, whereas margarine is mostly vegetable oil. (And hot dogs, you should never eat hot dogs).
Such a good call! I haven't eaten margarine for 20 years (only butter!) but you are so right that a lot of people still do. I'm going to have to do a part 2 :)
I think what they put in food etc in the UK is often quite different than in the US. Still an interesting video tho. When you lived in Ireland did you find it strange that eggs in a supermarket weren’t stored in fridges but on the shelves? I’m not sure what’s in our squash/cordial but I definitely couldn’t give this up. I don’t drink tea or coffee & find water so boring. I only drink fizzy drinks (Soda) when I’ve got a stomach bug. 7up especially helps.
@@julietannOsfan1972 I did think it strange that the eggs weren’t stored in the fridge, but then my friends explained it to me! Thank you for watching 😊
Organic food is not safe either.they investigated Whole Foods and found many foods from China and their organic food is not under the same regulations as made in US.

9. Corn syrup
10. Dahlia syrup
Yes, thank you so much - great list to look out for!!
I’m allergic to corn and it’s exhausting all the ways and names they use to hide it in our food.
I always say to shop the areas of the store that God created. While I love some junk food, others have changed the taste so much all your getting is a chemical taste. That's why I make all my cookies, brownies, and cakes. I know what I put in them. I do buy Egglands Best eggs. I noticed they aren't the best, but they aren't the worst. Any thoughts on this?
It is high FRUCTOSE, not high glucose corn syrup. Get it straight!

If you like to drink soda I’ve got a tip. Take fresh squeezed lime juice (1 to 4 limes), fresh grated ginger (to taste), two packets of stevia, and one can of seltzer water. It’s a homemade citrus soda. All the calories come from the lime, which means this is 4 to 16 calories. A coke on the other hand is 140 calories. It tastes better than sprite, won’t make your heart race, and hydrates.
@@Bill-kj8io yum sounds delicious!
Be cautious, stevia can have side effects- primarily gi issues and headaches, but potentially liver problems.
Drink water.
Hi, Taryn- love your channel! We have gotten ourselves to eat only one ingredient foods- meat and fresh vegetables. Still things in there I’m sure, but anything processed likely has chemicals/carbs/sugar and bad for you. All sugar is unhealthy. Been life changing for us and reversal of high blood pressure, T2 diabetes and all blood markets healthy. Late 50’s and we are on no meds! Grocery bill cheaper and so tasty. We do enjoy an occasional piece of birthday cake or special holiday meals and then right back to it. ❤️
Wow, great job! That is so impressive you are eating mostly one ingredient foods - this is what I am working towards but it's not easy!! ☺❤
@@tarynmaria_ it wasn’t easy but once you get past a point it clicks somehow and then wonder how you ever ate any other way. I was/am a sugar addict so need to be careful. My husband however can have one cookie and be fine…. Me, I can eat the whole bunch in no time.😂 Thank you for this video. My approach to cleaning/decluttering has been leveled up from your videos!❤
Excellent information! Thank U 4 sharing! 👏👏👏👍💞😋
You are so welcome! ☺❤
I love all your videos and I thought this one was one of the better ones! I love this kind of info! Thanks!
Wow, thank you!! ☺
Thank you, very worthwhile information ❤
EGGS - ALWAYS look for “Certified Humane” label!
Just “pasture raised” is NOT enough as it doesn’t guarantee the hens actually HAVE free access to roam about the pasture (big agribusiness deal they made with the FDA).
Thank you so much!
well cage free only means the chickens can go outside since the big warehouse they are in has the doors open
pasture raised means that they are outside doing what chickens should do like eating insects etc
I love vital farm eggs. I always buy them. They’re the best store bought. I also for years now buy organic milk. Horizon is a good one.
Yup - we love the Vital Farms and we've also been going to our farmer's market and getting eggs there!
Thank you Taryn 🤍
You are so welcome!
Unhappily neither here in Europe, we do not have only grass eating hens. The most part of them are still raised in big halls with little space to move and fed with colorants to obtain the desired yolk color shade for sale. I also have to carefully select organic eggs and of course, they come at higher price.
Thank you for sharing!
Appreciate this video. Thank you. Great reminder for us.😮
Thank you!!
I have been saying for years that we did not have an obesity epidemic in this country until we started replacing sugar with corn syrup + it's in everything!
Eat fresh or frozen products. And if you must buy soda, try to find the ones made with sugar. Pepsi does sell a 12 pack made with sugar. Cokes - if you can find a store specializing in Hispanic food, they'll have Coca Cola made in Mexico ( with real sugar)
Yes, for sure! We have to be so careful nowadays!
You brought up some really good points. How the Food and Drug Admin. gets away with this... Thank you for bringing up this topic.😊❤
You are so welcome!
I appreciate most of this information… especially the high fructose corn syrup info. However, the milk? Having been a dairy farmer for most of my life, (we are not now but are still in the dairy industry) if there ever were to be even a hint of antibiotics in the milk we shipped, we would be liable for any milk it was added to at the processing plant. You cannot begin to comprehend the amount of work that goes into avoiding that possibility. The cost would set a farmer back a years earnings … minimally… there are no antibiotics in milk. Dumping a days worth of milk production had happened to plenty of farmers in their lifetime which is costly enough, and sets one back a very long time in itself. The growth hormone was NEVER acceptable in milk either … this video was misleading in those areas. 😕
Thank you so much for sharing! I did get some of this info from the National Library of Medicine and I know that antibiotics are not allowed to be in milk but I am wary of how "zero antibiotics" is calculated. I think of it like trans fats - if there are less than 0.5 grams of trans fat per serving of a food, the label can say there are 0 trans fats, even though that isn't the case. But I really appreciate your perspective and information - I think understanding food labels and how the FDA classifies things is also important.
@@tarynmaria_ hmmm… I guess the feds are the least trustworthy. Antibiotics are tested in parts per million. There cannot be any. Sources are not all trustworthy. Unfortunately.
I'm from the UK, even though our food is better, it's still full of nasties. These nasties cause autoimmune conditions. After clearing my kitchen of almost everything, I ate only meat, eggs and diary for one month. My arthritis in my knees and hands went away, I didn't have a single headache (was having them daily before), my pre-diabetes was no more, my depression and anxiety vanished. Everything here has seed oils in, so eating out is a no no, anything in a packet or jar is a no no. My food cupboard is almost empty, shop weekly for meat, eggs and dairy. Yes, I keep falling off the wagon by eating crap, but I keep getting back on it because I know carbs and all the other nasties are making me ill.
Wow that is so interesting to hear! It sounds like you are doing such a great job of this!!
This is so helpful! Thank you!
You're so welcome!
I agree that you think "if it's sold in the grocery store, it must be okay to eat." What a sad situation that that's far from true. I love Center for Science in the Public Interest. CSPI has been a watchdog organization for many years, working to get the truth on our food labels and make our food safe. Thanks for this video.
You are so welcome!
Yes, this is very important!
I’m european, so most of them don’t apply to me, but I did look up high fructose corn syrup because we don’t really use that over here and I wasn’t sure if it was because it’s banned, and I was chocked to find out that it’s not, and in fact is on the rise over here, so I need to be vigilant about avoiding that now! 😱
Also, I’ve never tried cheezits, so I don’t know how they taste, but I remember once trying a recipe for them and they were very easy to make and very delicious, so you should try making them yourself and see if you like them. 😊
Oh wow I didn't realize high fructose corn syrup was on the rise in Europe...URGH! Also, you are right - I did make homemade cheezitz once, and they were great ☺
I avoid all of the same things you've decluttered food wise, and also now always choose options not packaged in plastic when available. That's especially tricky and it's more expensive to buy products in glass bottles or jars instead of plastic, for instance, but forever chemicals are a huge concern.
I SO agree - I am also trying to avoid these forever chemicals. Thank you for sharing!
Im hoping RFK gets involved in the food industry so these things can be changed. It would change the health...both physical and mental health of our country. All this info is definitely affecting how i will be voting!
I hope someone would do something about our food but I am not optimistic :( I think the lobby is too strong!
well done, thanks
Thank you!
Great video, thanks for sharing! Basically, one should try to only shop around the perimeter of the grocery store for whole, natural foods. Tough to do, but if it's in a box, one should probably try to avoid it.
I believe Coors Light beer (and probably others) has High Fructose Corn Syrup in it...
MSG - Many years ago, we had a Polynesian restaurant near work. They had a wonderful buffet and it was a popular spot to go for lunch and we often went with customers too. One week, I went two days in a row and after returning to work on the second day, I went into a fog...I couldn't see very well as it was though I was looking through a sparkler. I blamed it on MSG and it never happened again as I never did back to back days at that restaurant. MSG is weird stuff!
I understand that artificial sweeteners cause an Insulin Response in the body and, despite being zero calorie, can still cause weight gain.
Interesting info on eggs...I'll try to be more careful!
Again, thanks for this video. I'm inspired to clean up my diet (again)...
Wow that is so interesting to hear about the Polynesian restaurant! MSG is for sure weird. Thank you so much for sharing!
Can you do a closer look into produce and meats on this topic? Which fruits veggies should we spend extra on for organic, is dirty dozen legit, I get grass-fed beef but what's the best chicken but not overpriced- should we get only organic meat etc ? Thank you
Love this idea and have lots of thoughts on this!
Thank you for the video! And your hair looks exceptionally beautiful in this! 😍❤️
Thank you so much!!
Good advice,thank you!🍀
You are so welcome!
Have you ever read the book "Salt, Sugar, Fat"? I found it to be quite an eyeopener. Thanks for another great video!
You are so welcome and I haven’t read that book, but I definitely will check it out!
What’s controversial about not wanting to eat poison? More, please. I appreciate the info ❤
Awesome, I'll definitely do that! ☺
Thanks for the great content! Almost every mass market cookie, drink, sausage, chocolate, bread are very plastic and chemical, we should learn how to apply the rule “less is more” in food choices. Like buy just one pack of very expensive French brownies made with actual butter and eat it slowly in days, than buy a bunch of cheap snacks stuffed with palm oil and eat them up in one sitting. I’m just learning. Gained 5 extra kilos while seizing stress with junk food, not with 2 pregnancies…
Great point, thank you!
Thank you for this video ❤
You are so welcome! ❤
I had NO idea! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Excellent info!!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this video it’s eye opening
You are so welcome!
First of all I want you to know I really enjoy your videos. This one was a real eye opener. I’ll tell you my experience. In about July the blue bell ice cream was on a great sale. I had not bought any in a long time because it had gotten sooo expensive! Well they’ve had it on sale ever since that. And I kept buying it. Now I’ve gained about 5 Lbs! I thought it might be from that ice cream. Your video probably proved it! I said all the time it was so addicting I craved it! It’s on sale again this week! I’m not going to buy it! I had not gained any weight for the last few yrs. Until now😔😒. Thanks for this video very much.
Thank you so much for sharing! You know what? I just checked the bluebell ice cream and it has a lot of high fructose corn syrup in it! I totally think it could be that rather than the fact of eating ice cream. Honestly, HFCS is horrible for weight gain!
@@tarynmaria_ Yes! like I said I had been the same weight for yrs eating anything and everything without gaining so yes I feel sure it was the HFCS. I'm anxious to stop it and see if I can lose the extra lbs.
@@fayeadamson896 Let me know how it goes, I am sure it is the issue!
@@tarynmaria_I will ! I’m going to be keeping up with my weight for a while.
The TLDR: Move to the UK/Europe for our incredible food standards agency, who actually care about our health 😊
Great video! I have used Canola oil in place of vegetable oil for years. Now I don't know what to use. 🥺
Do you know what? I use olive oil. You can cook with it as long as you don’t heat it to smoking, and I also use it in all of my baked goods that call for vegetable oil!
@@tarynmaria_ There are so many olive oils out there. Is there a 'regular' one or just pick a specialty one? lol
@@MaCookie7 my husband has done a TON of research on olive oil and if you can believe it, the Walmart brand organic olive oil is the best! A lot of olive oils now are “blends” but the Walmart one is pure olives. It’s a bit pricey - $20 for 50 ounces but it’s the best value!
It is not necessary ever use oil for cooking. Sauté in water or broth. No oil is good for you.
I read Ultra-Processed People by Chris van Tulleken and it completely changed my perspective! (Shorter and free resource) He does some wonderful interviews about his book also to educate not to scare.
Thank you - I will have to check this out!
We cut a great deal from our diets...most processed food is horrible for us.
Great job!
For me, the angry over nothing and everything is apparently caused by the MSG-which I found out by giving it up for a while and then accidentally having it again (family pot luck dinner)
Oh wow, that is so good to know! I never knew that could be a side effect!
Very good video, thanks
Thank you, Mara!
Lots of gut issues are from our food pesticides, herbicides its just sad what we are force fed if not alerted.
So good to know!
What about organics, they dont have these ingredients, right?
They generally don't but I would still check out those labels!
Thank you so much!!!
You are so welcome!
Your video is much appreciated
Thank you! 😊
I only counted 9, but here they are:
1) MSG and its aliases, incl. yeast extract, torola year, umami, autolyzed yeast, textured protein
2) "Natural flavors"
3) HFCS
4) food dyes
5) potassium bromate
6) TBHQ (preservative)
7) Eggs that are NOT from pasture-raised chickens.
8) Milk from cows treated with rBST
9) carobonated drinks (soda, pop)
Many of these have been known poisons for decades.
Thank you!
Thank you. MSG does the same exact thing to me.
Thank you for sharing!
I found out about how bad MSG back in late 80s. I was suffering from migraines. I had one migraine so bad after eating at a Chinese restaurant that I thought I was have stroke or something along those lines.
I went to a specialist neurologist who specalized in migraines and nothing worked. I caught a segment on Oprah where people were talking about how MSG affected them.
I cut all MSG out of my diet and the migraines stopped.
I got so furious in the 90s with the studies that said they could find no link of migraines and MSG.
As for high futtose corn syrup I started noticing that I had trouble controlling my blood sugar I wasn't eating junk food so I couldn't figure it out until my son mentioned reading an article about it. I was shocked to find it in my bread, and other so called healthy foods. I won't eat things with it and my ability to control my blood sugar improved.
I try very hard to eat as clean as possible.
Oh wow what a story! We have to be so careful with food :( thank you for sharing!
Interesting / alarming that some of these are geographically variant and possibly US-specific. For example the Heinz Tomato Ketchup I buy here in France doesn't contain high fructose corn syrup.
Yes! Every time I go to Europe I see the exact same brands we have in the U.S. but the ingredients are much better. It makes me mad!
sometimes turmeric and marigold are added to eggs to make the yoke darker. The eggs may or may not be free range.
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks taryn
You are so welcome!
There is nothing controversial in avoiding high fructose corn syrop 😂
Ha, hopefully not but I know some people who think it's ok!
I Europe Human hormones are only allowed in hospitals for growth delays and in medication for menopause!
I agree about high fructose corn syrup
Thank you!
Thank you for all this information
You are so welcome!
I have lately become concerned about all the chemicals in our foods. One that concerns me is Mono-and-dicglycerides of fatty acids. It's a texturizing agent that can increase your risk of auto-immune disorders and mess up the good bacteria in your stomach. I've found this in so many items.
I use an app called Yuka. It's not perfect, but it's not sponsored by any brands (that I know of), and it sometimes gives me better alternatives.
Thank you so much for this video. It's really crazy what is allowed in our food!
Any suggestions for greek yogurt without emulsifiers (pectin & gums)?
Edit: I love Cheez-Its. Agh. Any alternatives suggestions?
Thank you for sharing - I am going to check out this app! And also - I have found that most organic yogurts don't contain pectin and other thickeners. I use the Stonyfield Organic Greek yogurt :) And for cheese it substitutions, I have sometimes get the Annie's Cheddar Squares, which taste almost the same!
Also avoid food and cosmetics with BHT at all cost.
Yes! A chemical I missed but is also important to avoid! It's in so many cosmetics :(
Shredded cheese has antibiotics to keep it from clumping. I can't remember the name of it, but you have to get a Dr's prescription to take it if you are sick.
Interesting! I also know shredded cheese has cellulose (aka saw dust!) so I shred my own now, for years!
@@tarynmaria_ me too. I dislike buying pizza because I question the shredded cheese.
It is called Natamycin. Labeled as a mold inhibitor.
@@starlaarts9385 thanks for reminding me of the name. A medical person told me that mold can cause fungus in our blood.
I can't remember the product but, yrs and yrs ago I was reading a label and, I still wonder where they got "natural caramel flavors" ???
Right?! :)
This is why I use the Yuka app. It's shocking. Also RFK Jr is rallying for healthy food in the US.. I been avoiding some of these ingredients for years now!
I've got to check this app out!
Well, back in the day the FDA actually did look out for us.
Just stay away from ultra-processed food, you're going to avoid most of this crap.
Thank you!
MSG always caused migraine headaches for my son.
Thank you for sharing!
This is a great video. I am trying to break longstanding brand loyalty for my health. Please tell me a good clothes detergent. The one I use is blue and has a perfume scent.
Thank you! I have discovered that All Free & Clear is fairly ok - it's fragrance free, which is super important. I also really like the Blueland detergent tabs ☺
Hi Taryn, you have no idea of how much I appreciate this segment of your channel. I do try to educate myself for my own health issues, however, the more I learn the better for me. I also try to share as much as I learn. However, some people stir away from education as much as religion. Personally, I thank you for what you are doing.
Thank you so much, Gina!! ☺❤
I can’t believe you didn’t mention margarine. Margarine is 1 molecule away from being plastic. Organic butter is what we should be eating, or ghee. Butter got a bad rap a few decades ago, and its reputation still hasn’t recovered. So many people eat margarine, but butter is natural and your body can digest it, whereas margarine is mostly vegetable oil. (And hot dogs, you should never eat hot dogs).
Such a good call! I haven't eaten margarine for 20 years (only butter!) but you are so right that a lot of people still do. I'm going to have to do a part 2 :)
What about ORGANIC eggs?
Yes! The Vital Farms eggs we eat are organic and pastured! Having both are best.
I don't know why, but orange egg yolks creep me out.
Really?! The pale ones do that to me, ha!
Aussies love yeast extract - it’s called Vegemite!
Yes - that stuff is all MSG!
shake hands with a farmer that's how you can get the best eggs never buy cage free if you must buy them in the store look for pasture raised
Thank you!
MSG gives me severe migraines
I have heard that happening to people, thank you for sharing!
Stop using the microwave!
I don’t believe in the microwave scare. I never found scientific evidence it was bad but I’d be interested if you have some links?
You arelate i quit all rhat i was using almost 3 years ago
I think what they put in food etc in the UK is often quite different than in the US. Still an interesting video tho.
When you lived in Ireland did you find it strange that eggs in a supermarket weren’t stored in fridges but on the shelves?
I’m not sure what’s in our squash/cordial but I definitely couldn’t give this up. I don’t drink tea or coffee & find water so boring.
I only drink fizzy drinks (Soda) when I’ve got a stomach bug. 7up especially helps.
@@julietannOsfan1972 I did think it strange that the eggs weren’t stored in the fridge, but then my friends explained it to me! Thank you for watching 😊
Organic food is not safe either.they investigated Whole Foods and found many foods from China and their organic food is not under the same regulations as made in US.
I love your videos! But you always look so sad in your thumbnails.
Anyway, thank you so much for this - again great - video! ❤
Thank you! For this video, I’m sad about the state of the food industry!
Can you list some brands you can recommend?
I like KIND, Triscuits, Popcorners, Alexia, and Sunchips.
I agree with Bethany - Triscuits are generally good, I also buy the Annie's brand a lot!
