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