today we’re going to talk about why

french fries are so darn addictive

especially if you’re consuming them at a

fast-food restaurant so what’s in a

french fry well we have the potato and

we’re not talking about a robber tater

we’re talking about a cooked potato and

when you cook a potato a starch those

carbohydrates break down into sugar and

so they’re gonna create a huge spike in

your insulin so if we have the potato we

have the vegetable oil now vegetable oil

sounds very very healthy right well it’s

actually coming from either corn or

canola maybe cottonseed not peanut oil

anymore mainly corn or canola and of

course both of these are GMO which means

they have traces of glyphosate which is

an herbicide and when you go into a

restaurant you don’t know how often that

oil is used over and over and over

next thing natural beef flavoring which

contains wheat and milk derivatives then

we have dextrose which is a synthetic

sugar made from more corn corn is GMO as

Tracy’s that glyphosate then we have

salt and we’re not talking about sea

salt we’re talking about sodium chloride

two minerals instead of eighty-four

minerals citric acid TBHQ as a

preservative and then another chemical

to preserve the color now there’s an

interesting book about relieving

depression called potatoes not prozac

because the effect of potatoes on your

mood now potatoes may affect your mood

but they also come with a package they

will raise insulin because they are

pretty high on the glycemic index and

the form of the table that most people

consume is not very very healthy if you

were to consume a raw potato I don’t

think that would be a problem but of

course try to consume a raw potato not

very appetizing here’s the big problem

when you consume a french fry with all

these different things in it you are

going to stimulate your

neurotransmitters in your brain

specifically a center in your brain

called the nucleus

accumbens this little nerve bundle is

the center of the brain involved in

addictions so when someone is taking in

crack or cocaine or any of those drugs

the effect that that’s created is

through the nucleus accumbens so the

nucleus accumbens that little Center

will increase dopamine in serotonin

both of these are pleasure

neurotransmitters so it’s not really the

drug that’s creating the direct pleasure

effect it’s really your body is creating

the pleasure through the drug triggering

it well when you consume sugar or

refined carbohydrates especially french

fries you are definitely going to

trigger this nucleus accumbens and raise

dopamine and that is why it’s so

addictive that’s why it’s so pleasurable

and of course when you consume french

fries you need to add ketchup right so

then we’re adding another four grams of

sugar per tablespoon but it’s not just

regular sugar its high fructose corn

syrup and with additional corn syrup

again GMO more glyphosate so what this

will do is just exaggerate the effects

of what this is doing on your blood

Sugar’s and what I’m talking about is

this when you take a starch and you

combine it with a fat and sugar and heat

you’re going to create what’s called

glycation and glycation is basically the

binding of a sugar molecule with a fat

or a sugar molecule with a protein and

that decreases elasticity within your

arteries within your veins and your

tendons it clogs up certain connections

in the brain it creates sticky proteins

in the body which accelerates the aging

process you’re also going to experience

a lot of bloating because when you

consume this and of course most people

don’t just have french fries they’re

having a hamburger meat right when you

combine this with protein of course the

bun

not to mention the coke and the ketchup

you’re going to create a tremendous

amount of bloating within your

that’s around the gallbladder and the

Ducks between the pancreas and the small

intestine so you’re gonna get a lot of

pressure in that area and over time if

you continue to do this you’re gonna get

scar tissue and lead to gall stones and

problems for your bile and problems with

digestion and not to mention a spike in

insulin so you’re gonna get a lot of

inflammation not just in the digestive

system and your joints and it’s gonna

create a lot of inflammation in your

colon all right

that being said so I know that most

people are not going to be perfect with

your diet this video is mainly

increasing the awareness on the

combinations of these different things

that are either french fry and the

effects that it can create on the body

so maybe in the future you might not

have the quantities of a french fry or

maybe you might not consume these as

often or when you do consume a french

fry maybe you’re not going to add the

ketchup because now you know the effects

that it can create anyway thanks for
