hi guys dr. Berg here in this video we’re going  to talk about what is healthier a chicken or pork  

what do you think well here’s the thing it’s  kind of a trick question because when you go  

buy chicken commercially from the grocery store  it’s highly processed and I never ever recommend  

consuming that type of meat even even you know  cow me even any any of the meats I wouldn’t  

consume that big why because it’s factory farmed  factory farmed is literally disgusting what occurs  

in these factories I mean it’s terrible first of  all there’s GMO grains soy and corn which you’re  

getting a lot of pesticides from that that’s  one thing right there which leads to all sorts  

of health problems there’s antibiotics there is  drugs that they give these animals to grow them  

that are arsenic based so you’re getting arsenic  it’s crazy you’re getting formaldehyde they use  

formaldehyde to prevent Salmonella on pork  and chicken in the feed so formaldehyde is an  

embalming agent you know when you die they stick  it through your veins so consuming that isn’t  

crazy in fact there’s even an article recently  that found that like 22 different drugs in these  

animals commercially like like antihistamines  and medications and you know anti like stress  

drugs all this stuff that’s in this meat it’s  terrible so I would never consume anything like  

this okay now let’s differentiate over here what  you want to do is you want to get pasture-raised  

products preferably from an online thing or maybe  the farmers market okay sometimes you can find  

them in the health of store now that’s becoming  more like pasture-raised that that means that  

the pig or the chicken goes out into the grass  it actually consumes grass that’s what we want  

free-range doesn’t really mean anything means that  they could you know walk around the barn but you  

need to get past raise the same same thing with  chicken eggs from a small farmer okay that’s the  

ideal scene that’s what you need to do because if  you saw what happens to this it’ll just make you  

you know vomit it’s so terrible they used you  want to get non-gmo now how do you know it’s  

non-gmo well it’s going to have is going to say  organic so if it’s organic it’s non-gmo that way  

you don’t get the the grains that are genetically  modified you want no antibiotics no hormones so  

when you go to the store and you at the grocery  store and it says no antibiotics it’s natural  

that’s not what we’re doing and that’s not the  same that’s just one of the things you’re looking  

for okay no nitrates if you’re buying bacon like  no nitrates nitrates are like a chem oppressor vut  

if you want to get no nitrates you want to get  the Paleo bacon that has like no sugar added so  

those are some of the things but this is the most  important pasture raised right here I’m going to  

put some links down below where you can research  and find some of this is it more expensive yes is  

it healthier absolutely it’s so healthy but this  stuff here you have to start phasing out of this  

because this is very unhealthy right here so it  was a little bit of a trick question but both  

of these are bad unless you’re doing this now  personally I prefer more pork now why because  

it’s fattier it’s a fattier meat it’s not as  lean now if you have chicken there’s skin on  

it right I don’t think you’re going to do the  skin on the pork unless it’s a these pork rinds  

but the chicken actually provides some fat  the skin so that would be fine but the pork  

is fattier and if you’re doing trying to actually  lose weight and do a ketogenic diet you want more  

fat in the diet because the lean meats actually  stimulate insulin more than the fattier meats  

so pork would be better on your insulin levels if  you’re either pre-diabetic or insulin resistance  

than a chicken but I know people think oh yeah  chicken is really healthy yeah not quite but  

if you actually have it pasture raised it’s  actually pretty healthy alright I hope that  

cleared up some confusion I’m sure I stir up some  controversy but it’s below thanks for watching
