Real good info. Over the years, I can recall all the times this or that food was said to be so good for you, only to hear how bad it is a short time later. So, to recap, veggies, grains, sugars , red meat, fish, fruit etc. all bad. LMAO Pretty much does not leave anything, does it?
Also, in the video, he did hit briefly on that one thing I mentioned before that is even worse for us than sugar and it's not a carb. It is seed oils and probably just as prevalent in the average diet as sugar is. He linked these seed oils to cancer but there is plenty more other damage they cause including a lot of weight gain. They are basically waste turned into oils. They are extremely high in omega 6 to omega 3 ratio. A heavy amount of processing is required for seed oils which means more bad stuff needs be used to make them which also oxidizes and turns them rancid very quickly. Stuff like solvents, toxic chemicals, high heating and naturally occurring trans-fats add to the health risks. The bad news is the very worst seed oils are the ones most used by people and restaurants because they are just cheap. They are, no doubt, a leading cause for the obesity epidemic.
Cooking oils just are not regulated much at all by the FDA. They basically just view the oils as being interchangeable. Truth is, if you think you can just stick with olive oil and avocado oil, you'll be disappointed to know they are often mixed with these seed oils to increase profit margins. You'd have to do your research and find those very few brands that have been shown to be legit and can be trusted.
So, if you're looking to reduce/eliminate sugar to reduce your weight/improve health, that's still a real good place to start. Eliminating seed oils would be an even better place to start and something that people could easily let go of as it has no taste. The problem would just come with trying to avoid it cause it is added to a lot of common foods.
