171. Courtney Swan: Why Your ‘Healthy’ Food Is Actually Harmful
The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
Rethinking Convenience: Healthy Choices on a Budget
This chapter examines the negative health impacts of convenience food, debunking the myth that healthy eating is unaffordable by promoting simple, whole food options. It also introduces innovative apps that aid consumers in making informed choices about packaged foods and emphasizes the power of consumer decisions in shaping healthier markets.
60% of what you think is "food" is actually a carefully engineered chemical experiment designed for profit, not health. Courtney Swan and I expose how Americans unknowingly consume ultra-processed substances that bear no resemblance to real food - a systematic poisoning at the cellular level. What's the real cost when your cellular machinery pays the price for convenience?
