now there are seven things in a lot of

foods

that

will ruin your liver and i wanted to

increase your awareness on this because

a lot of people are being exposed to

these things on a regular basis and they

don’t know it and as far as your liver

goes you’re about as healthy as your

liver your skin is a reflection of the

liver if your liver is bad

your skin’s not gonna look too good the

liver is a huge organ it’s like three

pounds it helps you with digestion it

helps your blood clot mainly it helps

you detoxify poisons it turns

poisonous things into harmless

things okay and so

let’s dive right in and go through the

list number one you want to avoid

soy protein isolates here’s a big

question about soy protein isolates

what do you think they do

to isolate this protein from soy

well they use chemicals

it’s highly processed

they have to go through a whole series

of things to extract this

concentrated protein and to do that they

have to use something called hexane

that’s a petroleum byproduct it’s a

solvent it’s not good for the liver it’s

actually a neurotoxin and so when you

look at like diet shakes or diet powders

or protein bars

or veggie burgers

always read the label

i don’t recommend consuming it if it has

soy protein isolates the way i was

introduced to soy protein isolates is

that i had a series of people that came

into my clinic that were on the diet

that was called ideal protein and that

was a major ingredient in this

so-called healthy ketogenic plan where

it had very low carbs but it also had

very very low

fat okay

and very very low quality

ingredients

and so it was filled with soy protein

isolates and i noticed when people got

on that program when they lost weight

and they did lose weight they didn’t

look healthy and a number of them

develop serious like liver inflammation

higher amount of liver enzymes

a lot of digestive problems and

gallbladder issues and so when they came

off those products it cleared up they

did much better all right number two uh

fructose okay you have high fructose

corn syrup you have the fructose and

fruit

you have something called agava nectar

as a sweetener it’s like 70

uh fructose and even table sugar is half

fructose and half glucose now fructose

is a very interesting sugar because

it’s not metabolized by all of your

cells it’s only metabolized by your

liver so anytime you consume fructose

your liver has to deal with this sugar

it is stuck to deal with

breaking it down and metabolizing it and

this is why people that consume a lot of

high fructose corn syrup boy they just

develop a fatty liver way more than if

they were going to be consuming just

glucose itself and even uh people think

that agave nectar is so healthy

but it’s not because it contains

fructose but here’s the confusing thing

fructose on the glycemic index

is pretty low it’s like 19. glucose is a

hundred okay so if you have a sugar that

has half glucose and have fructose it’s

going to be right in the middle like

about 74 75-ish but the point is that

if you are just relying on the glycemic

index okay that’s your

your principle that you operate off of

and you’re like wow it’s low i’m going

to go ahead and eat it and you don’t

understand that the liver has to

metabolize that specific sugar and

indirectly it creates a lot of problems

especially with insulin resistance then

you can have more awareness and then you

can actually

do the right thing by avoiding too much

fructose but the point is that despite

being low on the glycemic index fructose

is not a good sugar especially for the

liver especially if you want to avoid

getting a fatty liver and one more point

about this especially when you’re

dealing with high fructose corn syrup

all that corn is gmo and that gives you

another level of toxicity like

glyphosate which is an herbicide that’s

not good for the liver instead use sugar

alcohols like erythritol

xylitol use stevia

monk fruit all right number three

vegetable fats now

vegetable fats sound so healthy don’t

they i mean they’re just the fat of

vegetables well

there’s actually not much fat in

vegetables okay

if you look at

salad leafy greens just look at the

nutritional profile and you’ll see that

there’s not much oil or fat

in vegetables so despite being called

the vegetable oils

it’s really grain oils and it’s like

bean oils as in soybean oil and i’m

talking about the corn oil the soy oil

canola

cottonseed oil these oils are very

processed they’re very oxidating to your

tissues which means they create a lot of

inflammation a lot of inflammation

they’re a very fragile oil that’s

omega-6 an average person in the u.s

consumes about 70 pounds

of this vegetable oil we’ve kind of done

a little switch on these oils about

i don’t know 30 to 40 years ago where

they switched all of our saturated fats

with unsaturated fats unfortunately so

our membranes now are being built with

this these unsaturated fats and it’s

creating a lot of problems with um

inflammation

and um

and then with that comes a lot of other

issues not to mention

gmo okay more glyphosate which is

roundup ready in these products so what

you want to do is you want to consume a

lot more omega-3 fatty acids sardines

cod liver oil salmon things like that

and

just as an fyi

there was a meta-analysis

with over 72 different studies that

showed that there’s no

benefit from shifting from saturated

fats to unsaturated fats

zero benefits in fact there’s a lot of

negative things that have occurred all

right number four

whey

protein powder now think about what whey

protein powder is it’s a protein in milk

and dairy and it’s highly concentrated

to be extremely low fat if not zero fat

okay and anytime you

consume something that’s refined out of

the normal complex that nature is

designed it comes with a package

and so whey protein is inflammatory it’s

a bit toxic to the liver it increases

inflammatory markers and i remember long

ago before i had any awareness on health

i wanted to gain weight okay this was in

high school and so what did i do i

consumed

protein powder and i started chowing

that stuff down and man did i get sick

because not only was it filled with whey

protein powder

it was filled with the next thing on the

list which is

maltodextrin so when you consume protein

make sure you consume it with the with

the fat that’s nature has packaged that

protein with but maltodextrin which is

number five

is in so many foods it’s crazy it’s in

all the protein powders as the first

ingredient sometimes

here’s the problem with maltodextrin

it’s a synthesized or synthetic sugar

and it is

higher than glucose on the glycemic

index okay it ranges between 110 to 100

and i think 19. it’s just off the scale

so you’re consuming something that is

way worse than sugar for your blood

sugars for your pancreas for your weight

for your liver

and maltodextrin is put in

a lot of vitamins okay

it’s used as a filler it’s used as a

drying agent for oils

it’s hidden in a lot of so-called

keto-friendly foods which i’m going to

be doing a lot of education about but

basically it makes your liver

fattier

and before i forget i was going to

mention they make

maltodextrin from corn

wheat

rice

potato

tapioca and so sometimes it’s going to

be from gmo ingredients but you want to

avoid it they even use it in

post-workout type

gels it’s in splenda it’s in puddings

it’s in protein bars it’s in a lot of

different things all right number six

aflotoxins so you want to stop consuming

aflotoxins now what is an aflatoxin well

it’s a toxin from a certain fungus which

is carcinogenic to your liver so your

liver does not like this and you’re

primarily going to find it in peanuts

and

corn okay

and especially if it’s in a moist human

environment now if you consume peanuts

or peanut butter the best way to make

sure you don’t get the aflatoxin is by

consuming valencian peanuts valencia

peanuts are a lot drier and they’re

usually not going to have

aflotoxins especially if you get organic

valencia peanut butter now of course if

you’ve been watching my videos you’re

you’re not going to be consuming

corn

but

corn is in a lot of products so you’re

going to have to watch that as well and

number seven

okay is msg monosodium glutamate it’s in

a lot of different forms including

modified food starch but you really want

to start reading the ingredients because

they put this in

pork rinds it’s in so many foods as a

flavor enhancer they use it in all the

fast fruit restaurants to enhance the

flavor because if it wasn’t in there you

wouldn’t eat as much but msg causes you

to eat more of it it’s definitely in

chinese food and so it’s a lot of sodium

that’s hidden it’s not really salty but

you’re going to get fluid retention as

well after you consume it but that’s not

the big problem the big problem is toxic

to your liver and it’s even in like

things like um

cottage cheese if you’re getting like

commercial cottage cheese but i would

just recommend just start reading the

ingredients so many of my patients when

i was in practice

after they complained being sick i just

asked them

when did you start being sick and what

did you eat just before that and there

was usually some ingredient on this list

that they consumed that they weren’t

aware they didn’t make the connection

now what about red meat is red meat bad

for the liver

well

the answer is if you’re consuming

grass-fed red meat it’s not bad for the

liver unless

um you have a problem with iron okay the

thing about iron is that our bodies are

not designed to get rid of iron easily

and too much iron

can be very toxic to the liver and even

cause cirrhosis and of course red meat

is high in iron

so

if you have that problem then you’re

probably going to have to avoid red meat

but

for most people that don’t have a

problem with that red meat is not going

to be a problem for your liver if it’s

quality out of all the foods that are

good for the liver the cruciferous

family of vegetables are the best thing

for the liver so that would be like

arugula the kale the broccoli the

brussels sprouts so you definitely want

to consume those on a regular basis now

that you have this information

the next video that i’m going to

recommend is what to consume or what to

do

to repair a liver

i put it right here check it out
