People say, "Oh, Alzheimer's is genetic
00:00:02
garbage." That genetic component is only
00:00:04
5%. So that means 95% of Alzheimer's
00:00:08
risk is environmental air pollution,
00:00:10
microlastics,
00:00:12
ultrarocessed food. And a paper just
00:00:14
came out showing that sweetener
00:00:16
consumption correlates with dementia.
00:00:18
And we think we know why.
00:00:19
And you've not talked about this
00:00:20
publicly yet.
00:00:21
No. Let's talk. 73% of the items in the
00:00:24
American grocery store are poisoned
00:00:26
because sugar is hidden in all the
00:00:28
foods. For instance, there's 262 names
00:00:30
for sugar and the food industry uses all
00:00:32
of them because they knew when they add
00:00:33
it, you buy more. But the problem is
00:00:35
it's providing people with a dopamine
00:00:37
hit and that dopamine is addictive. And
00:00:39
that's when you actually have a
00:00:41
biochemical and medical problem. And we
00:00:43
have data to show that ultrarocessed
00:00:45
food has been associated with dementia,
00:00:47
diabetes, cancer, every single mental
00:00:49
health disease. So the question is, how
00:00:51
can you buy healthy food and not be
00:00:53
tempted by the bad stuff? So, first, if
00:00:56
a food has a label, it's a warning
00:00:58
label. The second thing, if any food has
00:01:00
a sugar in the first three ingredients,
00:01:02
it's dessert. And then when they go to
00:01:04
the store, don't go hungry.
00:01:06
And what about exercise?
00:01:07
Well, it doesn't really impact your
00:01:09
desire to reach for sugar. It has its
00:01:11
own metabolic benefits. But if you think
00:01:13
exercise is going to make you lose
00:01:15
weight, you are deluded. And we can talk
00:01:18
about that.
00:01:19
So, with all of this in mind, if I've
00:01:20
got a sugar problem or if I've got an
00:01:22
addiction problem, what is the remedy?
00:01:24
So, this is one of the things I did in
00:01:26
my obesity clinic.
