so today we’re going to talk about the

good the bad and the ugly related to

peanuts and peanut butter so what would

you like to know about first the good or

the bad or the ugly the ugly okay let’s

start there well first thing you need to

know is that a peanut is not an actual

nut it’s not a tree nut it’s a legume

that actually grows in the soil okay so

let’s start off with the shell the shell

of the nut is actually soft and it can

easily absorb things in the soil like

chemicals because the peanut is one of

the most heavily sprayed crops out there

I’m talking about pesticides

insecticides herbicides fungicides that

actually get into the soil and that nut

just pulls it right in now peanuts

generally are not GMO okay genetically

modified however the peanut crop is

rotated with the cotton crop which is

GMO so guess what you’re getting the

glyphosate which is the main chemical

roundup-ready that actually is used in

spraying the weeds you’re getting it in

the soil so it’s going right into the

peanuts and when you look at when

glyphosate which is the herbicide

Roundup Ready was introduced in the

environment you’ll see a dica Winson

ants spike and peanut allergies I just

wonder if there’s a connection between

the allergies that people are getting

and the chemicals in the food what do

you think put it put your comment down

below I want to know what you think

about that but there was a spike a 400%

more allergies when glyphosate was

introduced also peanut butter batches

were tested I’ll put the link down below

and they showed traces of glyphosate so

that’s the ugly all right now let’s go

to the bat there’s something called a

flow toxin this is a toxin produced by a

fungus that grows on peanuts and corn

and soybean and other grains so peanuts

have much higher levels of a toxin

called aflatoxin which causes liver

cancer also many brands of peanut butter

when you buy them are loaded with extra

sugar chemicals hydrogenated oils

so definitely always read the label and

make sure it doesn’t have anything else

in it except peanuts and maybe some sea

salt all right that’s the bad news

all right let’s switch to the good news

all right there’s a type of peanut

butter out there called Valencia which

has the lowest amounts of aflatoxins

okay that’s good right

also when you buy organic peanut butter

you’re getting less chemicals like

pesticides insecticides herbicides and

fungicides so if we combine the organic

with Valencia peanut butter you’re

getting less chemicals especially the

glyphosate and you’re getting less toxin

from the mold that’s the good news all

right more good news when you roast the

nut or you germinate the nut which is

soaking the nut overnight to release the

anti nutrients and other factors that

might create irritation with your

digestive system you increase the

availability of the nutrients so you can

actually increase certain nutrients that

were bound up because of some of these

anti nutrient compounds all right here’s

some more good news there’s a substance

called chlorophyll this is the green

stuff in the plant there’s very similar

chemistry to our own blood but it uses

magnesium instead of iron but

chlorophyll has the capacity to lower

this toxin which comes from the fungus

okay aflatoxin and so if you consume

some salad or something green or

wheatgrass juice powder after you eat

the peanut butter jelly sandwich which

I’m just kidding right now you wouldn’t

want to do that

but if you’re just doing nuts or peanut

butter with something that has

chlorophyll you reduce this toxin so

that’s good the last good news is that

peanuts in general are comparable and

nutrition to other nuts so they do have

vitamin E they have the B vitamins they

have phytonutrients and they also have

protein hey guys and you know what I’m

really sorry that eating has to be this

complex sometimes but I just wanted to

bring your awareness up of some of the

barriers that you’re running up against

with the chemicals introduced into our

food supply and also some of the fungus

and the toxic effect

certain things alright thanks for

watching hey guys I’m not sure if you

have my app yet dr. Berg app it’s

totally free you should download it ok

this is what it looks like you click it

it gives you all sorts of great

resources I have all my YouTube videos

on this out ok and it’s regularly

uploading the most recent ones all the

YouTube videos are also converted to

audio versions ok so you can use it when

you’re walking exercising driving your

car I have a mini chorus on there I’ll

be putting additional courses I have a

lot of recipes on there this is new and

also a PDF resources so there’s various

downloads PDFs that you can get as well

and if you wouldn’t mind after you

download it check it out give me your

unbiased review and tell me how you like

it I want to know
