- Despite all the money spent on US healthcare, an astounding number of Americans suffer from chronic illnesses. Yet the political establishment has shown no interest in even discussing the issue. It’s important to understand why.

After World War II, breast-feeding was discouraged. It was considered old-fashioned. Instead, the mothers were encouraged to feed their babies cows milk mixed with Karo syrup. That’s what they called “formula”. Karo syrup is high fructose corn syrup. That’s what I was fed as an infant and toddler until weaned. I have had weight problem my entire life. I am an allopathic physician. I know for sure that in 1955 if my mother knew what I know now there is no way in hell she would’ve fed me that garbage. She was a phenomenal mother who spent her whole life caring for and protecting her children. The fact that she was completely lied to by the medical community is disgusting. I am fairly certain that being fed. high fructose corn syrup as an infant disrupted my fasting insulin level, something I have battled against for 50 years. Shame on them.
I’m probably the same age as you and my experience was similar. It’s a wonder we survived the 50’s.
I didn’t get a weight issue, but I understand it likely caused my allergies which no one else in the family had.
I was bottle fed, too, in 1956.
Thank you for your input. At least you survived and are still alive. What artificial feed did to 1st world babies is terrible but it pales when compared to what it did in Africa. We might as well call it unintentional genocide. Millions of infants became ill and even died with gastroenteritis, malnutrition and immune deficiency when mothers switched from breastfeeding to formula fed with bottles. 😢
We are immigrants, my mother breast fed the 3 of us as babies...my baby sister was born in the US. Mom had to work so baby sis got formula. She's the only one in the family with a weight problem.

Thanks for making this video. This corruption sickens me (pun intended).
Thanks for making this comment. It's important. Democrat government is NOT about solving problems, it's about creating problems.
Exactly
Both sides are corrupt. You’re blind if you think otherwise.
The video was honest in that there is bipartisan consensus.
With the ozenpic mania, nobody is asking why people get obese in the first place. The only question is whether the drug should be state subsidised, price capped or unregulated.
Seed oil and corn sirup is subsidised instead of healthy food. No party speaks of switching agriculture subsidies to healthy products.
Half the population is taking antidepressants and no party asks why. Despite feminist women liberation, upper middle class ultra privileged women in high paying jobs are ultra depressed. That's the biggest taboo of elite colleges. Even the ruling class is sick.
@@Bvic3 western societies are caught up in this cycle of poor metabolic health and mental health decline all around because of the ultra processed junk and medications that have been pushed onto the masses for decades.
Both are . They’re the uniparty
Kennedy is inspiring
Food companies can also legally hide certain ingredients, such as the sugar alcohols that bring sweetness, but also bring risks of blood clots and strokes. Thanks for this.
As usual, Mises is spot on. RFK is the first powerful public figure to highlight the real public health crisis in this country and expose the real benefactors of its continuance. As a healthcare provider, I witness the carnage that current policies create and relish the rare sensible description of how life actually works in America. Bobby has become my last greatest hope for our future.
That’s not how it works. What will you do?

Government can't fix this. It can make it worse, and it's been doing that once it realized it could interpret the Constitution to mean it can force unity as it sees fit.
Eventually, the American people will realize the problems we have with our government can't be fixed at the ballot box ... at least I hope they will.
Corrupt government can’t. A government designed to promote general welfare can. Yes, we need regulations otherwise we don’t stand a chance. No more ‘food’ ads targeting children. No more pharmaceutical ads. No more business funding of regulatory agencies. No more bribery to doctors to promote products. Strict labeling, ban seed oils. Remove subsidies for sugar industry. Add subsidies and infrastructure for organic food chain.
Yea, we just need to find the right profit maximizing people to fix the problem of profit maximizing people doing predatory things in healthcare.
@@vancearmstrong4542 The problem isn't profit maximizing people doing predatory things in healthcare, the problem is people lobbying the government to ban their competition so that they can gain a monopoly which gives them the ability to do predatory things without the customer being able to have an alternative.
And what is triggering this I wonder? It needs to be talked about…
Greed is what triggers this, and it's been going on for quite some time. This is one of the reasons that those in Congress need to be voted out, in both parties. Since congress makes the laws, they could have stopped this, but they haven't. They like the money they get from us being poisoned, and they allow it and will continue to allow it as long as they are still in office.

Sugar and carbohydrate consumption explains 80 - 90% of these illnesses. Allergies and asthma? Too clean to challenge immune system. Peanut allergy? Who in their right mind feeds children inch thick pb sandwiches? Overload of Immune system. Arthritis and auto-immune disease - processed food. Alzheimers - sugar (it is now called Diabetes type 3).
The real problem is lazy stupid consumers who are too lazy to learn how to eat.
But all you in these comments are blaming "them" all those "them" who manipulate every aspect of your lives to the point where it impossible to eat in a healthy way???????
VOTE with your dollars and do not buy this crap. The only person victimizing you is YOU.
There is a history to this. Ansel keyes and the inversion of the food pyramid in the late 70s.
Stupid consumers are allowing this.
Greed, from the tiny hat wearing, hand rubbing traitors
I was once an American child. Now I'm paying the price for the American diet I believed was healthy. My parents trusted the government to have their backs. I followed suit. It's time to clean up this hot mess NOW!
The FDA pyramid did it by pushing starch, seed oil, sugar, and damning our traditional foods like meat and butter.
Not too late to get off the SAD - standard American diet - and teach others. We can break this self-inflicted curse of high carbs, HFCS, glyphosate, gmo's, and chronic inflammation.
As much as I love carbs, I feel so much better to keep them low (under 30 grams per day.)
Thanks for educating us about this 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Our food industry and medical industry have an incentive to keep people sick rather than teaching them to heal themselves by eating foods that are actually good for them.
There’s more money and treating illness than there is in curing illness
Why don't we create another government organisation to investigate government organisation.
🤦
The Government has investigated the Government and has found that the Government has made mistakes. The Government will now implement Government solutions to solve the problems that Government caused. Trust your Government!!
That was not his best idea. It might have worked short term, but that agency would eventually be captured as well.
Of course! It's been proved that political solutions are best!🤮
Yes! Before reading this I was just thinking that we need citizen groups to watch over this
The system is so well built that things to counter a certain thing makes it worse. Etc
The real question is, is it by design or accident? 😊
Yet there are a few of us outliers who do not like the processes crap, never go to a doctor and trust nothing from an official source. Noe of this would be possible without central bankers to finance it.

Came here to say this. At least it is quieter than most other channels but still it is discordant with the speaking and is a distraction.
The families of the drug company owners and the families of the doctors involved in prescribing all live in the greater society, eat at restaurants and buy from markets. It is impossible to believe that all these people can successfully negotiate the minefield of dietary danger that they have created.

Thank you sir 🫡
Just like chronic health issues, there are plenty more mundane, yet strongly important problems for lay people. Another highly important thing is how easy it is to lose your house!
The most typical offenders are the HOAs, many are famous for how repressive they are and especially their legal power to seize your house. Let's say they issue a ticket for a petty matter, like forgetting to pick your garden hose and/or tools. But you are away and cannot return home soon. That petty ticket can cost your home.
Please don't ask "Why couldn't you return home soon?", plenty of people are not aware they cooperate with abusive ruling class. We, regular and average people, have no access to legal support for practical matters. Everyone says America is a litigious society, and that colleges produce too many lawyers. Yet, try to get consumer protection and you are all on your own. A simple handyman can abuse the laws and threat you with filing a lien on your house for simply backing off from an agreed service.
All those lawyers everyone talks so much about only want money, many thousands dollars. Almost all only want injury cases. A foreigner visiting America would think this is a nation of idiots when running all the time into big board ads of lawyers asking if you're injured? These ads are visible only in mundane streets and highways, all used by regular people, NOT tourists.
Blame your realtor/NAR for not advising you on the difference & lien risk before purchasing & it was provided at your closing when you're signing away & can't listen to all the information at once.
I am a licensed agent & HOAs get in the way of people gardening or having a small bit of livestock which kept the USA from starvation in the 1920's. They only benefit investors. I try and steer those who want freedom away from them now. You can't change everyone, but you can have informed consent.
This is the reason that the Bible wouldn't allow country land of a families to be lost to debt for longer than a generation. Bc YHWH aka Jesus knew it's generational equity/wealth and possibility of having food without money is integral to relieve human suffering and the foundation for a healthy economy.
We weren't made to have yards full of pesticides and herbicides for Bermuda grass to then have the poisons runoff into our water tables underground.
Also need more individuals buying unincorporated land or filing for land patents.
I was raised to mistrust the government when it comes to nutrition and the medical care system. My mother tried to raise her children in a health lifestyle based on good nutrition. However she did not understand that the government has so much power to formulate what is produced in this country that just basically makes the vast majority of us to be in a state of one or another comorbidity by the time we reach our 40's. When you go out into public you can see it by just observing how many of us are overweight or obese. They say there are people who do not have enough food. I say the overwhelming majority of people do not eat the right food in this country because of the government's subsidies. Yet the medical industry, food industry and the political industry in this country are in control. As a result we as a country are addicted to our way of life, our medical system and dependences on our political system for subsidies to cover up our aliments, sicknesses, and mental illnesses. Eat healthy to live, do not live to eat unhealthy.
That was surprisingly good coverage of the problem that is killing us all. It also quickly becomes worse for every generation.
It’s a government problem, not a corporation problem, and not a greed problem. It’s no different than the failure of the Mexican government to deal with the cartels. There will always be bad people. Government is how we deal with them.
The root problems are found in the TR, Wilson, FDR, and LBJ eras. The default should be to end ALL of the changes made in those times.
Profit, control.
Pretty much. Keep the masses fat, sick and nearly dead all while pumping carbs, ultra processed foods, pills and medications for symptoms. No cures
It's always about the money....

When our liver cannot handle the amount of toxins in the body at any given moment it will store those toxins in fat and then loosing fat becomes extremely difficult because it releases those stored toxins so the body tries to prevent it.

Here’s the thing: eating unhealthy is a choice.
But it's worse bc our parents were lied to about what's healthy and we were indoctrinated in schools.
I have learned everything I know about diet in my 20's but quit soda in my teens with common sense.
The Internet is how people are learning about food and undoing the damage of public school and the food pyramid.
I can say your a hundred percent right, hate everybody having excuses
Eating healthy is very expensive, so not really a choise.
@@marciamartins1992 There are a lot of healthy foods that are very cheap, mostly beans, legumes, whole grains, and eggs from reputable sources. You can augment those with fresh vegetables and small quantities of meat to make a pretty filling and healthy meal.
It's entirely possible to eat healthy on a budget (I'm doing it right now) but it's just not appealing to most people. I've lost count of how many people ask me for health/diet advice, then when I tell them some ideas, make "disgusted 5-year old" faces, declare that it sounds "nasty" and go back to eating fast food and complaining that they can't lose weight.
Imagine the dystopia of elections....and WarpSpeedSeed...there's nobody to Trust.

Are there any medical studies to substantiate the claims that are made in this video?
In the 1950s Ancel Keyes persuaded Americans that saturated fats were bad. Americans switched to a high carbohydrate diet and seed oils. The result? Today's epidemic of obesity, diabetes, and cancer. Let's not repeat that mistake.

Good video, very interesting take
If I had listened to the medical industrial complex in my 20's I'd still be on proton pump inhibitors and painkillers 20 years later. Instead I relied on self experimentation and now TH-camrs like Dr. Eric Berg with emphasis on biological nutrition, something most people discourage, but it's my body, and I am discovering it works well when fed properly
Awesome, I'm happy for you! There's something that the medical establishment really doesn't want to admit: That we are nowhere close to having good data on how to improve human health. We have some things that hold true pretty broadly (e.g. smoking is bad for you, exercise is good for you) but there's tremendous diversity in everything else.
Humans are not like rabbits; you can't isolate them and observe everything they eat and determine what is the healthiest. The only time you can get complete data on human diets is in prisons or mental institutions, which are obviously not good proxies for the general human population.
My diet would not be called "healthy" by most people. According to common medical "wisdom", I eat way too much cholesterol and saturated fat. But my blood panel always looks excellent; I'm nowhere near diabetic and my blood cholesterol levels are spot on (I also exercise a ton, so that might be it).
My point is that there's rarely a "one size fits all" answer. The right thing for each person to do is what leads to a condition of good health in their body... And it can take some trial and error to find that.
I'm hopeful that RFK Jr. has sparked a discussion about the medical-industrial complex, and maybe one day we can bring back the doctor-patient relationship without regulators and insurance companies fouling it all up with bad incentives.

"allopathic physicians who treat patients with pain killers".
This is completely wrong, so is everything you based on it.
A quick google search quickly reveals that there is little agreement on the definition of allopathy. In context, it is clear which intended definition is meant here, which happens to be the same one that the WHO itself has used to mean "Western medicine" more broadly, which certainly includes an emphasis on viewing symptoms as the problem.

What does the Government and connected people eat?
People at the base of socio-economic ladder are eating the ultra-processed food like fast food, prepared food, eg french fries, fried chicken, pizza, bread, muffins, snack foods, etc. What is found on the inside isles of the grocery store, high in seed oils and high-fructose corn syrup. Whereas people higher up tend to eat mostly whole foods, and maybe even shop for organic, farmers market, etc. What is found along the walls of the grocery store. A person who can walk into a gas station and find a suitable snack and beverage there, versus the one who can only find a bottle of water
I worked for the federal government 23 years. We're all eating the same stuff as you all and consuming the same propaganda.
Maybe make gym memberships tax deductible? Wearables can now track people's health; reward them for their healthy habits by reporting to insurance companies. People can also upload their grocery purchases and receive discounts after every couple purchases on select nutritional items. Being healthy is a lifestyle but if it can also promote a healthier fulfilling life, the reward is less costs on medication or hospital bills
Keep the government out of it. The erroneous FDA food pyramids helped bring us to the unhealthy nation we are today. Pushing women into the workforce so that is less time to plan and make healthy meals, less time to garden and have backyard chickens or a dairy cow, is another contributor. Additionally, sugar has been added to every processed food.
Cut the subsidies for all processed foods. All subsidies for them.
I like the idea of the wearables like progressives does with the good driver discount and obesity leads to billion of dollars in loss productivity, your idea would be poetic justice
No, that is slavery! The corpse need to be tracked and and fined for the garbage they put into stores. The grocery stores and fast food restaurants need to be tracked and fined for selling junk food. The chemical makers need to be tracked and fined for putting addictive "food science" lab crap in the food! The agencies need to be fined for allowing corpse to influence their G.A.S. threshold.

I agree with most of the content of this video however who can have the power to fix this? If the government is the problem than who is strong enough to battle the entire ultra-processed food industry? Can anyone answer this question? Thanks. I'm sorry to say this but expect crickets...

@@rubensano4860 At least someone answered, and your answer seems pretty hopeless? Is there any solution?
@@hafunland894 make friends with a beef farmer, keep chickens, buy from farmers' markets.
@@rubensano4860 Thank you for responding, very good advice! My concern and I am kinda of an old country guy in upstate NY is the kids raised by parents around here that are obese, and some have diabetes. Their parents' poor and often ignorant of what does it take to make a long-lasting healthy body. So, these poor kids at the mercy of their poor parents and chronic diseases visits them in their teens. Just wish something could be done. When I was a kid, my mom was for a while a single Mom and my father refused to pay any child support. My Mother with all the stress became addicted to pain pills from a car accident and alcohol and for some years did not make hardly any meals for me and my siblings. So, school lunches saved the day, and kids would complain about the crap food, and I quietly would eat theirs. RFK, Jr had a great point about healthy eating and helping poor kids. However, politicians are not the best source of asking society to change since politics is so divisional. So, I guess the million-dollar question is what to do about the kids that have their health being permanently ruined at a young age and they are too young to protect themselves? I think 3 healthy meals of local grown farm foods at school should be offered to all kids. And the local farmers should be able to sell directly to the school districts. What do you think?
Chronic illness, mediated by metaflammation is lifestyle mediated. Take responsibility for your own life.
The adult obesity is obvious, but are children really suffering from chronic diseases? I don't see that.
Yes. Obesity, diabetes, hormone issues, autism, adhd, depression, anxiety, and allergies are all on the rise among youth and adolescents. Source: my wife works in the industry and takes medical histories.
The endocrine disruptor crisis is affecting children worst of all. They're robbed of the ability to grow the way they should during puberty. This affects both body and brain development, as the brain similarly experiences massive changes during that time. They will suffer with the consequences for the rest of their lives.
Look around and then Google “kids at play 1960“. There were no fat kids back then, now you have to search to find a skinny one. Ask any pediatrician that’s been in practice for 40 years and they’ll tell you that for the first 30 years, they may have had one or two diabetic children in their entire career. Now two out of five kids that walk into their awesome office are diagnosed with type two diabetes. Type two diabetes is an old persons disease. these kids have high cholesterol, diabetes, thyroid problems, low testosterone, and the boys, and early menarche, periods and breast development in girls. We are being poisoned. There is virtually nothing you can buy in the grocery store that has prepared that is safe to eat. Everything is contaminated by seed oils. Even things I bought just a few years ago like heavy cream. It used to be called heavy cream. That’s all that was in it. Now it’s called heavy whipping cream and it contains carageenen or guar gum is a thickener. Why, we don’t need that in it. You can’t even buy hummus, sounds healthy, right except instead of olive oil, like it used to have it now has cottonseed oil, safflower, oil, sunflower oil. All highly inflammatory oils. Now I make my own.
