Episode notes
Modern Medicine's Blind Spot
- Modern medicine often overlooks the root causes of rising diseases, focusing on treatment rather than prevention.
- Factors like the "poison food supply" and environmental exposures are key culprits in chronic disease.
Dietary Recommendations
- Prioritize organic foods to reduce pesticide exposure, and drink plenty of water.
- Avoid sugary drinks and processed foods with extensive ingredient lists, especially seed oils.
Food Industry and Chronic Disease
- The food industry, driven by profit, creates addictive, unhealthy foods, contributing to chronic diseases like obesity.
- This then benefits the "industrial diabetes complex," creating a cycle of profit from poor health.
