Wow... mexican candy, hot sauce, rice, and pot!? There goes my weekend cuisine. You're really coming for me Dr. Greger.
I'll put hot sauce on my rice! The hot sauce will kill the arsenic, and at the same time that will dissipate the lead. (I know, wishful thinking.)
Not only that, but the arsenic and lead will combine to form a super-vitamin (containing vitamins A, B2, B6, B12, C, D, E, K, etc., all of them!) at 100% RDA levels!
That took an unexpected turn at the end
Nic33rd 😅
Everyone need to calm down. Dr. Greger understands that we all will have to live with a level of contamination because we are living with it now. The purpose of these videos is to inform the consumer about what he/she is consuming, and therefore, we all can make informed decision about our food, interim of how is made, grown etc. Dr. greger is not attempting to put fear in us but educate about the food industry. I thank him for sharing his knowledge through his research findings. I will continue to consume brown rice. I cook my brown rice according to the recommendation. I will continue to eat hot peppers, hot sauce, and cayenne powder, modify how I prepare them, but I am enjoying life, not viewing these studies as "oh no" I cannot eat anything...
Agree... I'd rather know than not know. The information can be useful especially when you continue to learn a lot and put things together. Who knows, some kind of innovation may come to mind to prevent all of this as a result of absorbing such information.
Lead in hot sauce?! Arsenic in rice! This is insane. There should be more food regulations
Your videos recently are giving me anxiety...I'll just hide under my bed with my avocado
avocados are poisonous
Caliko Kat when they dripped avocados on dna, it
Severely damaged it
It isn't a Dr. Gregor video unless it has "until..now"
Hitting the vegan community where it hurts. Glad I have the spice tolerance of a toddler. 😂
I wouldn't freak out. If you pause it on the study list of hot sauces they are almost all made in Mexico. It could be vessels they use to cook or process the sauce, or tainted water used in the sauce and/or for washing, growing the peppers. Look for a sauce made in America? Sriracha by Huy Fong Foods is made in California with American grown peppers
tabasco?
The good thing is it's easy for anyone to make these hot sauces, hot peppers and tomatillos are some of the cheapest fruits at the store, I usually buy 10 cherry peppers for 80 cents. One or two adds enough heat to a dish.
The same lead containing hot peppers and tomatillos that the manufacturers in this video use to make their sauces.
+sdushdiu you obviously don't have a frazzled life
Self-entitled victim, haha. I suggest you go and visit some hectic family homes, perhaps where individuals are bogged down with non-dietary medical issues. All credit to you for doing all you can in your individual circumstance though.
That's some heavy Mary J...
Dang he got my Búfalo Sauce. I use to out of my way to buy it. Every new store I went to I'd check to see if they had it. Half a dozen times I made a special trip to a store just to find that sauce. And I even gave it to someone as a gift.
Don't you dare touch my tabasco, doc!
Listen buddy, I'm not giving up my white rice with hot sauce.
I don't recognize any brands on that list. So I guess my Cholula and Sriracha are fine?
He only mentions concern for children and pregnant women.
We use all american ingredients Local or\and organically grown.
have to talk to my dealer about this
This is the first video I watched immediately after returning home from Taco Bell, where I picked-up some VEGAN food, including three sachets of hot sauce. :(
Just do your best. You're already on an optimal diet (plant strong).
natureasintended taco bell is not plant strong,lol.
I actually don't know what taco bell is lol. Beans, veggies in a wrap? When eating a starch based, low fat, plant diet, it's plant strong! :)
Taco Bell can be very healthy. Or not. They have plenty of vegan choices, full of nutrients. Beans, rice and pico de gallo.
I feel you. I love their spicy potato tacos and bean burritos - both fresco style. It'll take getting used to not having them doused in Diablo and Fire hot sauce.
Mexican candy? That was a low blow for me. I have no problem saying bye to rice. But my Mexican candy is life 😭 I make homemade salsa so hot sauce I'm ok saying bye to also.
PunkRock Princesa what're some Mexican candies you like?
Thumbs up for making your own salsa my gf's familia grows so many hot peppers and tomatillos every year we have salsa all the time
Homemade salsa is the bomb! People don't realize you can just add peppers and spicy spices to make their food spicy. I like spicy tamarind candy. I keep a stash of the extra spicy pulparindo in my house at all times. But I don't eat them all the time. Once a week or even months apart. I like others but those are the least expensive.
Never had it. But now I want to try it, lol.
That's why I'm growing my own habanero peppers.
What about organic cayenne pepper?
What about pesticide levels in hot sauce. Has there been a study yet? Given the fact that hot peppers are on the list of produce with highest levels of pesticides, I have always wondered about this.
You answered your own question.
nooooo :( not my sriracha too!!
It's all i have left!
Nilered can make lead sugar
I grow my own peppers and make sauce. Much tastier than store bought AND I know whats in it.
Dang. Had no idea about this.
I've had cans of El Pato before, but I'm not pregnant and I'm not a baby.
Please make a vid about the new B12 cancer study.
That's when it isn't taken with folate / folic acid, B12's co-factors. Also, people known to have severe B12 malabsorption already have gastritis of the stomach which is already linked with increased cancer risk.
natureasintended, What dude?! So I take a b12 supplement.. how do I get folic acid? I have nutritional yeast that has folic acid in it but apparently too much is bad... so what do I eat with my b12 supplement?
What about non-Mexican Hot Sauce? Like made in the USA, or Canada, the UK, etc? (Not that the "made in xxx" labels are that meaningful, might still get that label even if all the ingredients are from another country)
in sweden the goverment agency involved with food is just saying as long as you eat a variety of foods this is not a problem.
but i guess they haven't been educated since 1970. one other thing that is fun with that goverment advice is that most fruit of today doesn't even have close to the same nutriciant they had i 1970. one test revealed a lemon had no c vitamins at all.
hot sauce??? why you gotta do this to me doc greg??
NOOOO!!!
IS NOTHING SACRED TO YOU?
Does this mean chilli peppers are often contaminated with lead?
Yes, if they come from Mexico.
But he said it can be rinsed off
Hi natureasintended, that's a good point. However, fresh chillies are very expensive here and supplies limited, so I usually use dried chilli flakes or powder - which can't be rinsed.
I wonder if you can source it from the US instead.
No. Not the chilli. Powders are easily adulterated with some red lead additive. It includes turmeric and other red/orange spices.
How can I sustain a healthy plant based diet while needing to eat 4000 kcal/day just to sustain a my already low bodyweight ?
See my awesome vegan facebook page facebook.com/PlantBasedEvidencePaleoDiet
I use a LOT of Frank's Red Hot - hope its safe!
with such poor regulation, is it so crazy to believe there is incentive to make people sick?
Ankstroms depopulation is a part of the agenda
Lift Strong That is really stupid. They have to keep increasing the population because it drives the economy. This is why when birth rates decline to levels that they should be naturally, at a high quality of life - the government decides the best thing to do is to import hundreds of thousands of illiterate, non-English speaking useless migrants who will add literally nothing of value to society and be nothing but a drain on the economy and a natural security issue.
Regulation sometimes protects corporations more than consumers, the only power regulation has is taken from the judicial branch in actuality. For example if the government says its safe for people to produce food with * level of whatever, and that ends up making people sick, they cannot seek recourse in a court because the regulation is the government declaring * level of whatever lawful.
In one of his Q & As, Dr.Greger explained its all about profit, rather than an intention to make people sick. The lead in the soil happens to end up on chilis. They aren't putting it there deliberately.
Dude that's the sauce on that hot one's channel
I don't know what to make of this what you should do is find out why we have so much autism in the US where you go to a country that is not the US or children are very normal sociable but the moment you step foot in the US hyperactivity everywhere can that be lead poisoning you tell us Dr.

natureasintended I really appreciate your responding I will really read up on this interesting
This is why all food and drugs should be veganized, legalized, taxed, and regulated effectively immediately.
I think smart people who also have the courage. A lot of smart people do not have the courage to take action, and I think it is one of the problems..
Veganized? I'm neither vegan nor vegetarian, but I don't expect meat in my drugs.
+Nicolay Schjelderup
Not just meat, but any animal ingredients, which all are unhealthy and harmful to the environment for production and consumption as well as more expensive for healthcare costs and production.
+Nicolay Schjelderup
Why aren't you vegan?
+1234 Why you disagree?
Walter White would have turned in his ground if he knew that his customers were consuming impure drugs...
Nooo, not hot sauce! 😭
don't tell Hot Ones! ))
don't watch the video before commenting ))
"Sources" of lead contamination
How about you?
Say it ain't so
Turning into a fear monger. Show me another instance of lead being used to weigh down Cannabis if this is as you claim "epidemic". -respect
Fear mongering. In Germany, in an isolated incident unless proven otherwise.
Whoa buddy calm down. A scientist discovering something and telling you about it isn't fear mongering it's just information. Not like he started lacing it with lead, or approved to lessen regulations. Perhaps you should start lobbying the government to raise regulations so we won't have to worry about things like this.
Stop telling me about stuff!
Well I guess there's a bonus to being a wimp and not liking anything spicy.
WTF !!!
just eat the air .
this channel going insane
Mmmmmm lead
First!!
