Are insects the sustainable food source of the future? Find out if eating bugs will save the planet. 0:00 Introduction: Should we eat bugs? 0:47 Are bugs a good alternative protein source? 2:11 Bugs vs. beef 2:35 Insects and pathogens 4:12 Check out my video on what you SHOULD be eating for your health! In this video, we’re going to take a look at edible bugs as an alternative protein source. Some say that we should be eating bugs by 2050 because of the growing population. Some blame climate change or claim that beef is not sustainable and that we need to find other sources of food. One hundred grams of bugs contains about 12 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat, and 5 grams of carbs. If we were to eat insects as food, we’d need to eat 4x to 8x this amount to get enough protein! It could become quite expensive to consume this many bugs each day. The cost of edible insects could be lowered by lowering the quality of what they’re fed, but then the bugs will be less nutritious with less protein. Eating insects would also require people to give up their cultural and traditional foods which is not likely. When you compare bugs to beef, insects do not come close in terms of protein or nutritional value. Insects also carry pathogens. A 2019 study evaluated several cricket farms that were developing edible insects. Around 81% of the crickets had parasites and 30% were potentially pathogenic. There's also a higher incidence of worms, viruses, bacteria, and fungus in crickets. If you have an allergy to shellfish, you may also have an allergy to edible insects because they contain a similar protein. Bugs have an exoskeleton mainly composed of chitin which is an antinutrient and can not be digested by our microbiome. Chitin also blocks vitamins A and E. #keto #ketodiet #weightloss #ketolifestyle Thanks for watching! I hope this increases your awareness about the reality of eating insects.

Today we're going to talk about the absolute worst food for the heart: trans fats. While sugar is bad for the heart, trans fats are even worse. In 2015, the FDA no longer classified trans fats as safe. Consuming trans fats increases the risk of several serious health issues, including: • Heart attack • Stroke • Type 2 diabetes • Cancer • Increased LDL • Decreased HDL • Inflammation • Autoimmune diseases • Infertility • Tendon and bone degeneration Partially hydrogenated oils contain trans fats, but products that contain either partially hydrogenated or hydrogenated fats should be avoided to help protect against heart disease and other health problems. It turns out that animal feed still contains trans fats. This means that you could consume trans fats indirectly by consuming animals fed trans fats. Restaurants also commonly serve foods containing trans fats. There's even a loophole that allows half of a gram of trans fats in one serving size to claim that a product has zero trans fats. Overall, it's crucial to read food labels and be aware of what you're eating, especially at restaurants.

The CORRECT Reason You Should Eat Liver (MTHFR Gene Mutation)

Discover the benefits of liver and why you really need to start consuming it. 0:00 Introduction: The benefits of liver and why you need it in your diet 0:35 Nutrients in liver 1:14 Is liver toxic? 2:40 Why you should consume liver 8:38 Action steps 11:25 Learn more about detoxification! Let’s talk about why you should start consuming liver. Liver is the most nutrient-dense food on earth. Many people don’t want to consume liver because they think it’s filled with toxins. But, while the liver helps you get rid of toxins, it doesn’t store toxins. Another misconception is that you will get an overload of certain nutrients if you consume liver regularly. This may happen if you consume synthetic vitamins in high amounts, but liver doesn’t contain synthetic vitamins. There is a very common genetic problem that can lead to a cascade of effects in the body, including: • A buildup of unusable iron (that can cause symptoms of both high iron and low iron) • A lack of neurotransmitters (leading to anxiety or depression) • A lack of DNA repair (can increase your risk of certain cancers) • An increased risk of colon cancer • Inflammation • Fatigue • Poor cognitive function (leading to decreased memory, focus, and concentration) • Estrogen dominance (can increase your risk of certain cancers) • Low testosterone • Less protection against autoimmune conditions • Less protection against adverse reactions that can occur after vaccines To help with this issue, you need plenty of folate and B12. But synthetic versions of these vitamins can make things worse. However, liver is the best food you can eat for this issue. It has mega amounts of folate and vitamin B12, as well as other associated nutrients you need for this condition. If you don’t like consuming liver, you can take a supplement that has high amounts of the correct forms of vitamin B12, vitamin B6, and folate. Action steps: 1. Consume more folate and B12 2. Avoid synthetic foods enriched with folate and B12 3. Minimize alcohol consumption 4. Stop taking synthetic vitamins Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 57, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
