What If the Food Broke Us. The Tobacco Companies Bought the Food Companies. · Connor with Honor: AI, Real Estate and Real Life

• 0:00
  SPEAKER_00: Here's an intriguing thought experiment.
• 0:02
  SPEAKER_00: Now, we won't get into the argument of whether we were created or whether we evolved over time.
• 0:10
  SPEAKER_00: That's not where we're gonna start.
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna start with a few assumptions.
• 0:15
  SPEAKER_00: Either way, let's go back into the track record of human beings.
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_00: What if during our time on this planet we didn't have access to the type of food we have now?
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_00: What if not enough time has transpired between the last two or three hundred years versus all the time that preceded that?
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_00: And maybe our bodies haven't become adjusted or adapted well enough to be able to eat the types of food that are manufactured today, provided for us, you know, ad nauseum everywhere you turn around.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_00: What if our body isn't really equipped to take care of it?
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_00: So what ends up happening is, first of all, it becomes incredibly addictive.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_00: And the dopamine spike that we get as a result of eating these highly processed foods creates that addictive process.
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_00: Then these highly processed foods actually, you know, equate to a different kind of hormone response.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: Thereby, these foods become stored a lot easier than maybe other types of foods in a more natural state.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: Let's say that does that that is the way that it is, then it would make sense that maybe we should probably not entertain or eat these types of foods.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: In addition, something else that we could kind of consider is potentially for the longest time that human beings have been around, it's a much shorter time that we've been eating the way that we're eating.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: If you look into the research about where breakfast came from, or how you need to eat within 30 minutes upon waking, or how you need to eat every three or four hours to keep up your metabolism, and how the best way to drop fat is by uh restricting calories, eating less, moving more, without addressing the different types of food and what happens when you ingest them into the body, and then how that body responses?
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: What if particular types of food, when you eat, it creates a varied or a different hormone response, a hormone response that then becomes responsible for activating the storage mechanism.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: So whenever you're eating that food, it gets stored as body fat.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_00: What if that were the case?
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_00: And then what if you have the same major companies that were selling cigarettes for many, many years become the new owners in the not so distant past, become the new owners of a lot of these companies that are making the highly processed and highly addicted food?
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: What if that were the case?
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: Wouldn't that be interesting?
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it actually turns out to be that that is the case.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_00: You have tobacco companies that a while back bought into these major food conglomerates and they now create this super highly processed food.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_00: And the culprit of the food is the carbohydrate content.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: Carbohydrates are made up of sugars and starches, both of which, in certain people, can create issues.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: And in all people, they do tend to have a tendency to raise insulin, which is basically a storage hormone from your body.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: And it's a very necessary hormone, we need it.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: But if you look at the past history of human beings, it would give an appearance that we didn't have food as plentiful as we have today.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_00: You even look back at the 40s and 50s and even 60s at the obesity rates here in the United States, and they're much lower than they've gotten even in the last couple decades.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_00: It's because this type of food, at least my opinion, this type of food has become incredibly prevalent in society.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: Access to it is very easy and it's very inexpensive.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, looking at a filet mignon steak or Kobe beef or something like that, that's you know,$70,$80, maybe$90 a pound, depending on what you're getting, versus your favorite fast food chain and you know, 15 tacos, a lot, a lot less, a lot, a lot different.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_00: Bags of chips, candy, these sorts of things, very low cost of admission, but a very high price to pay on the other end of it.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_00: You know this.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: If you're sitting around with fat on your frame, you know that you've probably fallen into this addictive type cycle.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_00: However, maybe you have yet to admit it, and maybe you're not addicted at all.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_00: I know I talk to uh people throughout the week, and a lot of people, whenever you say addiction, it's it's kind of a shock.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_00: And some of them settle in very nicely with it.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_00: They are shocked at first, and then they realize, well, maybe that's why I can't say no.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_00: And then they use having to eat, having to nourish, having to provide energy for the body, totally putting aside that when you're carrying extra fat, you have stored energy on your body.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_00: They totally discount that and say, well, I need energy coming in to fuel myself so I can do the next thing.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_00: I can do the next business move, I can do the next workout, or if they even do work out.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: But it gives them that energy to carry through the day, not realizing that your storage system, the fat on your body isn't there to make you look better.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_00: And in fact, in a lot of cases, it probably doesn't.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_00: It's there because it's energy to be used.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_00: Now, getting access to that energy, that is kind of a feat onto its own, especially because we've been eating a certain way for a very long time, and it's very, very widely accepted.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: There was a time that uh that one drink a night thing was was supposed to be good for you, and it wasn't.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: There was a time when cigarettes were supposed to be good for you, and it turned out not to be the case.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_00: And there was a time when X amount of grams of sugar per day were normal and good for you, but in essence, it was probably the number was way, way too high.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_00: And in fact, in some circles, people might argue that any kind of sugar intake probably isn't the best unless it's a very rare circumstance, kind of a once-in-a-while thing, definitely not a daily thing.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: And then you have the separation between the types of carbohydrates.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_00: You have starches and sugars.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_00: We talked about that.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_00: Then you have natural occurring starches and sugars, and you have a big belief system based on which one might be healthier for you to ingest.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_00: Your body, in a lot of circumstances, doesn't know the difference.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't understand that this one's coming in and this is natural, naturally occurring, maybe enhanced through some kind of genetic modification throughout the years.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_00: Our bananas aren't what the bananas that were before uh the scientists got their hands on it.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_00: The different very uh variants of apples, again, different than when you know they were originally occurring on the planet.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_00: Lots, lots of different modifications there so that you have uh more sweet, uh higher content of fructose on those.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_00: And a lot of feuds have been manipulated like that because it makes them more addictive, I guess, in a particular way.
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_00: That being the case, a lot of people haven't really given a lot of thought to where we are today.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_00: So you're looking at a society that's 60 plus percent obese in the United States, and there are other numbers.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_00: You take a person that is coming here from another country, another country that potentially is leaner because they have different food regulators.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_00: They have different rules as to what food the public is allowed to consume.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_00: They come here and again the rules change.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_00: And then the food that might not be allowed, the way that the processing is done here, which might not be allowed in their country of origin, when they come here after a while, they will start to put on fat.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_00: That's established.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: They will start to gain fat being here in the United States.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_00: And it's the type of food, probably not the amount of food so much.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_00: What if that were the case?
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_00: Wouldn't that be a very interesting thing to look into?
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_00: Now, if you are eating food and you are eating it to excess and you can't stop eating it, then there's some options for you.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: You've probably heard about caloric restriction.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_00: Eat less, move more.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe you need to take your food and cut down on it.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_00: But maybe it's not so much the food as much as it is the type, as much as it is as it is the way the food is manufactured or made.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_00: You take white flour, it's it's nowhere near what it was in nature.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_00: You take regular flour from the field and crush it.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_00: There's a lot of extra stuff in there.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_00: You take white, refined, enriched flour.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_00: They've stripped everything out of it.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_00: The enriched part, they got to put stuff back into it, some vitamins or whatever they do.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_00: So they're enriching it.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_00: It makes it sound kind of royal and kind of cool, but the impact on the hormone in your body, known as insulin, is very, very powerful.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_00: Same thing with sugar ingested.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_00: Same thing with fruit.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, fruit has fructose in it.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_00: It's another type of sugar.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_00: What's interesting about that, at least from what my studies have revealed, and just reading things, I'm not a doctor, not a nutritionist.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_00: Before you do anything or listen to anything I'm saying, you want to talk to your doctor.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_00: But it seems like that fructose pathway is the same as the alcohol pathway where your body stores it immediately.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't burn it at all because it's that type.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_00: So it goes right into the liver.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of alcoholics, a lot of people that drink a lot, they have fatty liver.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_00: On the other end of it, you know, fatty liver is also an obese people, and it depends on what type of foods they're consuming that creates that, but that's another problem.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: What's great about the human body, however, is if you go without eating for a little bit, you can reverse a lot of things.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_00: In fact, if a majority of the world actually fasted with more of a regimented type approach, we would actually see that a lot of the health markers and problems in the world that are basically monetized a lot because they have to be treated by the medical and pharmaceutical world, we would see those numbers start to decline and potentially crash and create a whole mess economically here in the United States.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_00: People would reverse a lot of the issues that they have.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_00: Do we want that to happen?
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I think for human longevity and to lessen human suffering, absolutely.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_00: But on the other end of it, there's people that have a much bigger vesting into the process.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_00: What if that were the case?
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_00: Could this be true?
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_00: Could it be that some people out there, some organizations actually have a game plan that's wrapped around keeping us in a more unhealthy state, keeping us fatter, keeping us having to go to the doctor and get medical attention?
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_00: And the medical attention doesn't fix it because more than likely they're not going to tell you, well, you just need to put the fork down for a few days and maybe get everything reset.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_00: Or maybe you need to do this more often, or maybe you should skip breakfast.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe you shouldn't eat until later in the afternoon, and maybe it should just be one meal and it should consist of this much food, and you should just move on.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_00: And this type of food, not just the amount, but also what's in the food itself, they won't tell you that.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_00: They they don't try to fix anything, but they will try to keep you where you are so they can expand out the treatment.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_00: If if I'm wrong on this, you know, shut it off, let's move on.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_00: Here's one thing whenever you start whatever process you're going, you can try caloric restriction again.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_00: The issue is the body is very fast at reducing the metabolism.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't take very long.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_00: So if you stop eating the amount of food you're eating and you lower your caloric ingestion, you don't eat as much.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_00: Let's say you cut it down by 500 calories.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_00: It takes seven days at that particular level to lose a pound of fat.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_00: That would be if you burn very simply, you know, uh let's say you burn 3,500 calories a day, you drop off that 500.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_00: After a week, you will burn off one pound of fat.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_00: Seems like a very long time.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_00: And in the fasting world, that is a very long time because fasting does it much faster.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_00: But then you get the warnings.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_00: Then they say, oh my gosh, you know, you don't want to lose weight too fast.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm thinking, I I've always thought in response to that, well, why not?
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it doesn't last.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_00: Well, if I make a habitual change, if I make a pre-programmed change, something that I've been doing for a very long time, but I have it written out or I have it documented or I totally understand it.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_00: I've I've digested my methodology.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_00: And once doing that, I've set a plan in play and I'm going to execute on said plan.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_00: And if I screw it up, I'm going to forgive myself immediately and continue to perform the plan.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_00: Period.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not going to go into this feeling sorry for myself thing.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_00: That a lot of people in our fat state, they actually do that.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_00: They they'll stop, they'll say, well, just forget the whole thing.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_00: It's too difficult.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna move on.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_00: When you should be making a new covenant with yourself at the moment that you do blow it out or screw it up.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, immediately, as fast as you can recover, that's when you should, and you should also forgive yourself at that moment so you're able to move on with the plan.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_00: You keep doing that, you'll find that the you'll lessen the amount of self-induced sabotage.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_00: You'll lessen those.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_00: And that's, you know, in the Christian world, when you confess your sins, God who is faithful and just will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all us unrighteousness.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_00: That's uh uh 1 John 1.9, that is part of the Christian protocol.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_00: And when you do that, immediately that kind of equates to a habitual change over time.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_00: The same thing with the with the forgiving yourself in food.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_00: If you realize that you've just screwed it up and you stop, you forgive yourself, you confess it in a way, and then you continue on your process, that'll become less and less.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_00: Now, if you get into a position where you go back to rote, you go back to the habitual eating cycle that you have been in for probably a number of years now, maybe in some cases most of your life, then you're gonna need some kind of a break from that.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_00: You're gonna have to have some kind of a realization for yourself, with yourself.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_00: A big part of that process happens to be the scale.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_00: The scale's difficult because even in an entire fasting world, let's say I go for a week of fasting at the very beginning of the seven days, not eating anything, just water and black coffee.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_00: What I notice is within the first two or three days, I've dropped a lot of weight, 15 pounds, in some cases 20 pounds, because before that I was eating carbs and sugar and all the nonsense.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_00: I made a decision to go ahead and begin the fasting.
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of that at the very beginning is a lot of the inflammation that I've gathered and a lot of the excess water that my body's holding on to because I'm in that kind of a fed, feasted state.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_00: And then the food itself doesn't help because it's not naturally occurring.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_00: It's modified in some way.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_00: It's used to be more palatable, it has a lot of sugar, a lot of additives, a lot of preservatives, and all of those things do a number on your system.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_00: So when I start, all of that gets expelled, it gets purged and read and released.
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_00: And that a lot of that is the water that your body's holding on to.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_00: So after you do two or three days, that's a massive jump in the scale.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_00: Then it becomes a little bit normal.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_00: You might have a two and three-day pound drop on day, you know, um day four and day five.
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_00: But then after that, it comes down to three-quarters to a pound a day.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_00: But that's when you're at the fat.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_00: You've already burned off those pounds of fat in the first few days, maybe a pound a day, but the numbers are a lot larger than that.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_00: So you don't get that excitement from the scale anymore.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_00: Now it just becomes kind of the thing.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_00: And you just continue on the process and then you play it out and see what happens.
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_00: Before you start any of this, of course, you want to talk to your doctor.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_00: And you want to make sure that it's okay for you not to eat that next donut that you typically do at that time of day.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_00: You want to make sure that it's okay for your not eating.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_00: And with all, you know, all humor aside, we can talk about if you're taking medicines right now.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_00: If you're taking statins, if you're taking insulin, if you're taking high blood pressure medication, maybe some kind of prescription medication that's doing something else for you, and you stop eating altogether, there could be a massive impact.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_00: Again, you're taking pharmaceutical medications that might need to be dependent on some kind of a digestive process that's going to require something to be in your system.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_00: Also, when you're not eating, your body becomes much more sensitive to things.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_00: It drives that insulin sensitivity.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_00: That's where you get that great reset.
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_00: There's been type 2 diabetics that have reversed the entire thing.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_00: There's been people that have had other issues, other medical problems that have reduced the whole thing.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_00: But, you know, fasting's hard, right?
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_00: It's difficult not to eat.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_00: I think it's also difficult to be sick under care of a medical professional for a long time and taking medicines and having to go to the pharmacy and having to get injections and go to check.
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_00: I think that's hard too.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_00: Now, fasting doesn't mean that's going to all go away.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_00: But it could be, what if it could be that your doctor blesses it and you stop, you stop eating all the time.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_00: You give your body a little bit of a break, the break that it was engineered to take on.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_00: You switch fuel sources.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_00: So instead of burning incoming food, never touching the stored body fat, you switch over and you actually start eating yourself, eating the fat, because that's what it's there for.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_00: It's there because you don't have food at a particular time.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_00: Your body thinks it's starving, so it does this massive hormonal change, switches to a different pathway to burn energy, which is a stored body fat.
• 17:50
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, that's what it's for, right?
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_00: We talked about at the beginning of this, the stored fat isn't for looks, the stored fat is for energy when you need it, when there is no energy coming in.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_00: So you do this for a while and you make it part of your lifestyle.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_00: Wouldn't that be interesting?
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_00: What if our gatherings, our social events, instead of being about food, might be about something else?
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe something more fun, maybe going jumping on trampolines, maybe going and throwing axes, maybe going and doing something else other than sitting around a table, not moving at all, and ingesting until we're full, or drinking alcohol until we can't walk.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe there's better ways to address this in a much larger fashion, so more people get involved in it.
• 18:41
  SPEAKER_00: Not in those circles, but I'm sure those circles exist where people say, you know, we're going to go out this weekend and have a great time, we're going to do this.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_00: And food isn't even part of that equation because everybody's on the same page realizing that it's whole food only, it's eggs, meat, fish, and some types of vegetables only.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_00: That's the lifestyle.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_00: No alcohol plays into that, no sugary foods, no processed foods.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_00: It's those things with singular ingredients, the ones that come out of nature and get cooked in a particular way.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_00: That's the diet.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_00: So you have groups of people that are in that lifestyle.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_00: Number one, they're not going to be obese.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_00: And number two, they're going to be not having food being the center of attention at every single event, food and alcohol.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_00: Interesting.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe that's that lifestyle that we should consider adopting, not all of it at once, but maybe a partial part.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_00: Do your research.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_00: It's very interesting.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_00: There's so many books out there that offer a lot of help.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_00: But the establishment, the people that are maybe on the other side of this that think that skipping a couple meals could create havoc in somebody's world, which maybe there are people that have been created out there that are unable to miss one meal.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if that's the case, but you might be one of them.
• 20:00
