so today we’re gonna talk about the 10 most popular things that Americans eat

on a regular basis first one is soda drinks okay an average American consumes

forty four point seven gallons of this liquid carbonated syrupy sugar every

single year that is three hundred and seventy four pounds so you’re not just

dealing sugar you’re dealing with phosphoric acid you’re dealing with

caffeine all sorts of chemicals next one bread an average American consumes 53

pounds of bread per year so bread contains not only the refined

carbohydrates that raise insulin but bread also contains gluten and gluten

can really tear up your intestine and create all sorts of digestive problems

not to mention cognitive issues as well there’s a lot of other things in bread

there’s dough softeners there’s hidden sodium msg and of course when you

combine bread with protein as in meat as in the sandwich and you eat that

together you get a bit of what’s called glycation glycation is a term to

describe combining a carbohydrate with a protein or a carbohydrate and fat

and you heat it up now when you’re eating the food you’re actually raising

the temperature and that can develop a glycated process whereby your blood

becomes very very sticky I mean if you think about like a diabetic okay they

have high blood sugar the high blood sugar combines with the protein in the

blood hemoglobin so that protein and sugar combine so if the sugars too high

it gets stuck in the protein and that is a test called

a1c which is an average of your blood sugars for three months and they have a

whole rating scale that you can evaluate if your Sugar’s are okay or not the

numbers go up if you have high sugar and they’ll come down if you have low sugar

but this is basically measuring the glycation burgers there are over 50

billion burgers sold every single year that means a lot of people are consuming

burgers now I consume burgers without the bun of course but when you combine

the bread with the meat you get this thing as well and of course not many

people eat a burger without ketchup right or they might have fries with that

or they might have a coke with that right here so if we combine this this

this and this we get a lot of this right here

and we also get an exaggeration of a spike of insulin and too much insulin

will cause visceral fat which is not very healthy because it’s gonna go

inside the liver it’s going to go around the organs and create a lot of different

problems for you all right next one is french fries an average person consumes

forty nine point two pounds of potato products every single year and now that

this number an average American consumes 29 pounds of actual fries so they also

consume chips potatoes and other forms of potato

there are over 1.5 billion pounds of chips sold in America every single year

so Americans love potato products of course the question is what are you

frying this in corn oil soy oil which is GMO and you have this carbon this fat

under high heats you actually start spiking something called acrylamide

which is carcinogenic this chemical is created when you combine sugar and amino

acids and high temperature alright next one is this thing called ice cream right

so here you have a lot of carbon sugar and you have the protein and you have

the fat and it’s heated so you’re definitely gonna get a lot of glycation

okay but you’re gonna get a lot of sugar and I personally used to consume a lot

of ice cream in fact I use ice cream to help me sleep

that night it worked for a while and then it didn’t work anymore and what

happened was it created a blood sugar spike which basically makes you very

very tired or unconscious you go right out but about two o’clock in the morning

the blood sugars go down because the insulin spikes and it’s pushing the

blood sugars down and then I started waking up exactly at 2:00

every morning with very severe restless leg syndrome

which basically is a lot of lactic acid and my muscles which actually comes from

eating glucose because glucose can turn into lactic acid the muscles and it was

it was miserable of course I would wake up with these serious bags underneath my eyes

I had zero awareness on nutrition at that point and this was actually two

years ago I’m just kidding that was like in my late 20s but the average American

consumes 23 pounds of ice cream every single year and about 1.4 billion

gallons of ice cream are sold every single year that’s a lot of ice cream

all right number six hot dogs 20 billion hot dogs are sold every single year that

means a lot of people are eating a lot of hot dogs and of course I’m not

talking about the grass-fed organic hot dogs I’m talking about the processed

nitrates with msg and all sorts of additional parts of the cow or pig put

into this I mean if you actually look at the ingredients of a hotdog they

actually put dextrose in there don’t ask me why I think they use it as a filler

but I’m don’t quote me on that and then we get to number seven pizza an average

person consumes 40 pizzas a year over 38 billion dollars is spent on pizza alone

okay number eight Oreo cookies they’re over 2.5 billion packs of Oreo cookies

sold every single year in fact if you look at the ingredients in an Oreo

cookie it’s just different forms of sugar and then the last ingredient is

like chocolate it’s not the last part which means there’s not as much

chocolate as you might think but there sure is a lot of sugar alright number 9

chicken nuggets and chicken strips well there are over 2.3 billion servings of

chicken nuggets every single year and 1.5 billion servings of the chicken

strips sold every single year now of course we have the breading and we have

the protein and it’s heated so again we’re getting glycation we’re getting a

spike in insulin and we’re also deep-frying in in this GMO soy

or corn oil which is very inflammatory and lastly number 10 Donuts 25,000 donut

shops in United States alone Americans buy ten billion Donuts every single year

that’s a lot of donuts okay we have a combination of the soy or corn oil

glycation because it’s deep-fried acrylamide and a spike of insulin so now

it’s very obvious to see why Americans have insulin resistance and they’re

overweight and they have all sorts of symptoms related to high levels of

insulin a fatty liver obesity heart disease increased risk of stroke inflammatory

conditions sleep apnea and the list goes on and on and on if you haven’t seen my
