    In this video, Dr. Berg talks about what is maltodextrin and if it is safe. It is from rice, wheat, and potato, but mainly from corn, which is a GMO and is exposed to glyphosate.
    Maltodextrin is the highest in the glycemic index which means it is creating a massive spike in your blood sugar when you consume it and it also changes the gut bacteria, suppresses the probiotics with the good friendly bacteria, and also increases e coli.
    Purpose of Maltodextrin:
    1. Carrier
    2. Thickener
    3. Filler
    4. Preservative
    5. Insecticide
    6. Improves Mouth Feel
    Foods that have Maltodextrin:
    • Infant Formula
    • Beverages
    • Animal Feeds
    • Beef Jerky
    • Vitamins
    • Flavorings
    • Medicine
    • Chips
    • Soups
    • Dry Mixes
    • Dressing
    • Peanut Butter
    • Beer
    • Pudding

    I'm glad someone is finally calling out the use of this additive. It is in nearly everything we consume, that goes through any type of processing. Even supplements, and especially most items bought in the supermarket. Maltdextrin causes me to breakout in horrible boil-like acne. I have an tolerance, for sure. It also causes inflammation, as does Caramel Color, and Carragneegan. Watch out for those too.

    Hi Guys, This isn't just made from Corn, it can be made from any starch including wheat and potato. I know because I'm allergic to potatoes and kept being ill until I saw some ingredients of Yogurt coated raisins. It said, Maltodextrin (Tapioca and potato)!! I keep clear of all maltodextrin as you just never know whats in it. (Apart from in the UK, Waitrose own produce, they very often specify!) Its also very often in sausages and cooked meats too. generally the cheaper the food, the more likely it is to include Maltodextrin, it holds water so makes things weigh more!

Now, after studying your YT videos, Instagram, FB, etc I acknowledge that I misunderstood many of its true ! In short period of time I have been applying “the true keto” in combination with fasting, sleep much better, I eat considerably less, my mood is uplifted, and I feel powerful when exercising!

I had been living on that stuff for many years but going to nutritional Keto has really opened my eyes. I've never(or rarely preferred) been a straight water drinker and prefer some added flavor so guess I'm going to have to switch things around. One thing for sure you have to look at more than just Carb levels on packages.

    I went vegan for roughly 10 months a few years back. It was an amazing journey, I lost about 26 kgs of weight, I never felt better, stronger, healthier. However, at some point I did not take Vitamins as supplements and I went back to eating meats.
    I recently went back on a diet 16-8 and now slowly ramping it up to 18-6 and possibly more. I eat meats but I avoid sausages and other processed foods as much as possible, cooking freshly, eating a lot of veggies.
    Dr. Berg is a great help on my way back to a healthy omnivore diet. Thank you, Dr. Berg.

    My dad, being diabetic, has recently had higher than normal sugar levels. Upon looking at the sweetener we have, it contains maltodextrin so I've got them looking into an alternative. Myself, I use honey in coffee & tea as I won't even use sweeteners myself. Everything I buy, I check the ingredients to see if it or dextrose is included. 😊 99% of the time, I put back and avoid.

    It really pisses me off that the food industry puts this product in foods that are advertised as "no sugar" which is meant to manipulate people into believing it's a healthy food. Our food industry is rotten to the core and needs deep structural reform. Insuring the integrity of our food system should be a top priority for government, but since most of them are owned by big agriculture, the very worst part of the food industry, they're not likely to clean it up any time soon. Corporate rule is just one sign of a declining empire and we have many more.
