Having consumed alcohol daily for about 45 years at the level of at least a bottle of wine/six pack of beer/half a bottle of spirit (not all of them, just one of them) or more every day, I became sober at the start of the year. Over the years I’ve had a small break or two, but in general I’ve been a solid drinker for all of my life. I now sleep much better and are starting to see a number of other benefits in my statistics. I don’t miss its affect, but I do miss the taste and social connections. This year I will be dry for the whole 12 months
I stopped for several months and began having vivid dreams every night. Might just be that I was remembering them, mostly as I woke up. I believe it was due to better more productive sleep.
Good job.... Just keep going... I quit just over 7 years ago and don't miss it at all... It has helped my progress with everything and I'd never be at the point I'm at now and making my videos if I had continued. I kind of got over it after 3 social occasions going out with no drinks and then refocussed onto other things... Stick with it, you won't regret it :)
A common excuse of why some people don't eat healthy is the cost. So, you can look at quitting alcohol as a way to pay for eating healthy. The same goes for cigarettes.
You need to correct margarine. Thomas said margarine that is "pure hydrogenated fat." I'm not even sure you can buy this type of margarine anymore since trans fats are banned in the US (
My son attended a private school that taught kids with learning disabilities. They were very strict about what foods they could bring to school. No cheetos, doritos,fruit roll ups, oreos, animal crackers, goldfish, cheezits and many others because of red 40. There were some others certain blue and yellow dye as well. There were extensive studies showing neurological problems in kids after consumption . This was 25 years ago yet the USDA still allows it in our foods
I quit alcohol at the beginning of the year. 3 weeks ago, I removed all sugar from my diet. Doing that for a solid month. No bread, no pasta, no rice, and no starch. Nothing but meat and vegetables. I do drink tea and coffee, but now I don't add sugar or cream. Hardest thing I've ever done.
Wow! Congratulations! You did exactly what I am still attempting to do with what you're eating. I quit alcohol 11 months ago and keep falling back into cookies and crackers... Any tip you could give me? 🙏
@misi3360 This sounds crazy but, my relationship with Jesus got better, and it has pushed me to be a better person. Inside and out. Depression from being overwhelmed, overworked, and living alone screwed my health and habits. My social life is dead too. The good Lord pulled me out of that funk, and I can't stop this wave of winning. It starts a snowball effect of good feelings, positivity, and no excuses. Right now I feel like I can accomplish anything. I wish you the best of luck on succeeding in your future goals.
Get a good conical burr grinder and grind your coffee right before brewing. A tiny pinch of salt and your coffee is next level. Baratza makes great grinders.
Arsenic and cyanide occurs naturally in foods too..that doesn't mean I'm going to chase it down and consume more of it Most people would correctly say..they don't consume arsenic and cyanide But there are some time waters who would disagree
@michaelo2522 I am guessing you are responding to me. There isn't high levels of arsenic in foods. However if you eat any food with fish sauce or soy sauce or yeast extract or tomato or certain cheeses or anchovies you are getting a significant quantity of MSG not some tiny little trace which is unavoidable. So other than those strict carnivore diet people who don't eat cheese or any sauces you are likely to consume significant quantities of MSG on occasion.
I skimmed through a book called 'alcohol explained ' and it definitely changed my opinion about drinking it. How your body reacts to attempt to counteract the consumption of it is very interesting.
I decided to give up drinking since Jan 2023 not because of a problem but as of a direct result of the literature. I can't tell you the backlash I have recieved from so called friends on my decision. The stangest and most idiotic comment was, " what are you doing? do you think you are better than us now?" seriously!!! For me it is like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders where I did not have to have a drink because it was " the social thing to do"
clean and sober for 36 years. Congratulations on everyones sobriety. I'm 80 yo and no meds at all. Ive recently started carnivores' lifestyle and fasting 16/8 . I'm sleeping better. Reduced inflammation. Brain fog gone. Just wish I'd stated sooner. TY ALL SO MUCH. BLESSINGS TO ALL WHO READ THIS. ❤😊
Or..save it for special holidays ON THAT HOLIDAY try to stay away from CORN SYRUP if..you get a soda, Find one which uses CANE SUGAR only Just drink water Not ICE WATER Cool water stays down longer It's best to get a steal bottle Flask type Stanley, Stanley dupe, hydroflask, etc
3 months of zero alcohol has increased my strength and decreased my body fat , nothing else changed. I was already eating healthy and exercising frequently. Quitting drinking beer on the weekends had a bigger impact than I thought it would.

Modern fries, are all in seed oils... They used to be made, in beef tallow...I just made stew in crockpot..the fat smelled like old school fries 🍟 I think in n out, still uses beef tallow though
Right on Thomas! I've been into health, fitness and nutrition for over 3 decades, have watched you probably the longest, and your explanation of problematic foods and or supplements is spot on. With my current age and state of physiology I've moved into the longevity area of my lifestyle. You're expert interviews with cutting-edge influencer's has been eye opening at times. Most of the stuff you talk about, I've already implemented into my routine, but the red dye thing, has shed some insight into some of my families children's instabilities. This goes along way my friend!! Keep up the great content 👍 👏 👌.
@@TheGlowingOnee Texans, WW2 vets (Orville Hudson lived pasted 112 enjoying a double shot of liquor every night well driving stick shift and not in a nursing home) many others.... need further proof check out the regions around Spain, Italy, and japan, they drink and smoke but their diets and activity are on point, Sardana and Okinawa are blue zones and Ibiza is half-way to being a blue zone as well (Ibiza for cryin out loud, yet they have a large amount of elderly folk as well that enjoy they're wine and liquor as well as natural tobacco)
Not sure if this will be seen or not, but I have to thank Thomas for the wealth of knowledge and information he's given out. Since I started listening to his channel roughly 3 months ago, I've gained so much knowledge about health, foods, exercise and a bunch of other stuff. I've also lost 30lbs in the process as I've made some real life changes with my overall health and body. Again I say, Thank you thank you, thank you!
Enjoyment is to me is; balance. I will have a piece of cake for special occasions and red wine on weekends. Other that that my diet is rich in veggies and protein. BALANCE. I don’t have any health issues. Why is there so much shame unless you have a strict diet??!!
There's nothing wrong with MSG as a substance, it's just the way we use it in cooking is way over portioned as compared to anything natural. You sprinkle MSG in cooking which is the same amount of umami as 5-10 kg of tomatoes. You'd have to eat dishes with tomato sauce for a week just to consume that much msg...
I agree with all of these except maybe MSG. I see MSG as a double-edged sword. I don't see the harm in putting MSG on my steak to enhance it and then even want it more. Yes, avoid it at all costs in garbage food, but if you know that what you're eating is good, then I am all for it. But hey, that's just me.
@@allenbrost9564It enhances flavor (subjective) for me and makes us want more (objectively), which is a good thing if you want to get more nutrition and calories in. Win, win for me.
MSG will cause high blood pressure. People who comsume a lot of it have a higher risk of stroke and heart attack. Your body has a hard time maintaining your blood pressure when there is such a great flux caused by chemical compounds like MSG. Its not good for you and its addictive. Steer clear of MSG.
I'm in no way advocating Mcdonald's fries, but, on average, a Mcdonalds is more likely to rotate its oils out with fresh oils more frequently - both out of sheer necessity (volume of sales) and presence of a management structure/system operators. While even a well maintained Mcdonalds might have oil you deem as grossly unhealthy, there is a tier of fryer oil below that which exists in poorly run restaurants, places struggling to make money, and small unsupervised kitchens with crews that don't care. More places than you can imagine are keeping the same reheated oils for more than a few days, more like weeks plus, to the degree that your food is being cooked in a vat of carcinogen. If I had to guess, I'd say the predominance of health issues from deep frying come from oil practices that exceed negligence, yet go unseen, and are not part of "studies" while all the focus is directed at easy targets like McDs which has a turnover of product that would keep it from falling into this category.
I tend to agree with this analysis, and have thought the same for quite a while. However, i also think that on average, this factor has been somewhat averaged out -- meaning, fried foods using best practices probably aren't as bad as we think they are, because the foods made with bad practices have "skewed the average" so to speak. So although really stale & reheated oil _is_ really bad, in infrequent enough consumption, our body probably has a lot of capability to properly handle enough... It's more about the regular repeated consumption that really overwhelms the system and starts causing all the damage
My grandma just passed two months ago, at 96. She has been drinking her whole life. Passed with a strong mind. I understand how bad it can be but many a people for centuries have drank and just kept on just fine. Diet is a huge part of things and I think alcohol mixed with poor lifestyles can be mega catalysts.
I’m guessing because it’s fun, helps to be social, and makes you feel great in the moment. It’s amazing to eliminate it if you can, but let’s be honest, you’re sober ass is not having as much fun as the drunk on the dance floor grinding against the principal at a high school dance that he somehow snuck into

Been watching Thomas for years, i swear this dude is using Botox his forehead looks like a cutting board and his face doesn't move anymore. But preach health to us brother😂
Beetroot is very healthy and makes a beautiful red color in foods. Alcohol is not good, but neither is birthday cake and I enjoy them both on occasion. It's about finding balance.
Good stuff! I could never just cut out MSG though. LOVE Japanese food and just don’t see a reason to give it up. On the flip side though, I haven’t really experienced it doing anything bad to me 🤷🏻♂️
He makes it sound like he's been eating margarine & just won't do it anymore lol But I did quit using that spray butter stuff that I used for wayy too many years. It was so convenient & tasted good tho
At the advice of a counselor I was seeing for anxiety , I cut out all additives and dyes . Within 2 days my overall nervousness lowered quite a bit . Granted a lot of those items also have very high sodium levels . Occasionally I have something with additives , like a canned soup , and I feel it soon after. My heart starts pounding and I get agitated . The tricky part though is I was raised on foods like pot pies, frozen pizzas, and Hamburger Helper . So there's that comfort food appeal . So sometimes I mock up my own healthier versions of them .
Agree with everything but once every couple of months I LOVE getting absolutely trashed and dancing my face off with some friends at a concert 😂 Even the hangover the next day is fun - I just watch TV, turn my phone off, and eat some Pho. It's a great break from my usually hectic crazy life. I wouldn't want to do that more frequently though. The novelty of it keeps the experience really fresh, and at the end of the day I care SO much more about my daily responsibilities and fitness than the feeling of alcohol. Find the balance you need to live a great life - everyone's different!
you are right. everyone is unique. when i used to get trashed, the next day i'd go out to my organic garden and work like a dog. two hours later the hangover was magically gone.
The problem with MSG is that I think they hide it on labels as something else. It's not listed directly so that you know. My L&P worstechire sauce is pretty decent but says "natural flavors" - well what are those exactly?
This was a good video. I heard years ago from a butcher in a grocery store how bad Tilapia was and I never touched it from that day forward. It’s gross. You definitely taught me something new about the pudding, will be re-evaluating that option of food.
Yeah, I'm a lot less concerned about this one, since it exists naturally in most savory umami flavors. Maybe processed MSG causes some people problems.
I’m definitely someone who is hypersensitive to large amounts of MSG. If I eat at an Asian restaurant I become violently sick to death. Their notorious for using copious amounts of MSG in their food
Replace your pudding cups with avocado mash cups from Costco in the refrigerated section. Has the consistency of pudding, keto friendly, organic and delicious.
I completely agree on the alcohol. Its been almost 4 years since I've touched it. A lot of people I talk to say they have it sometimes or a few drinks a week. I just can't do that. I know what it used to lead to. I've managed to substitute it with much healthier habits and try to live the life I was meant to live. Thank you for the information. It has helped me for over five years now. 🙏
There are a number of non-transfat non-hydrogenated fat margarines made with olive or avocado oil. There exist better alternatives to the worst type (which is banned in many jurisdictions due transfat bans).
Industrial seed oils consist mostly of linoleic acid. It has been shown to oxidize in the body (and oxidize LDL in the process) and not just in a deep fryer or sitting in the open for weeks. Industrial seed oils are already partly oxidized due to high temperature processing. This is why chemical agents are used to remove the stench. Residual amounts of these agents and solvents (e.g. hexane) used to extract the seed oils are contained in every bottle of "vegetable oil". There is also a substantial variance in the amount based on different production batches and from different companies. If you are going to exclude MSG, then it does not make sense to not exclude industrial seed oils. If you have a choice and still feel compelled to use a "vegetable oil", then choose extra virgin olive oil. At least it is not semi-oxidized and contaminated with residual toxins.
Thank You Thomas. YOU NAILED IT. I've known about these issues for a long time. The one about Tilapia makes sense too. A local butcher 20 yrs ago when I was seeking fresh shrimp informed me to eat wild and why. He said farmed shrimp are grown and fed under chicken cages where the shrimp eat the chicken poop. YUCK !!
Giving a tiny nod to your content overall. Specifically though, I am one of the people that subscribed after you stated your position on alcohol. I had no idea what you were going to say but I expected you to give it a slight thumbs up like most health related podcasters. I think MDs tend to be neutral on alcohol or support light alcohol use (are they beholden to the alcohol lobby or do they exist in an alcohol-rich culture?). My spouse drinks alcohol and there is a place for alcohol for some people. I am in recovery so I have a big dog in the fight for taking a strong position against alcohol consumption - my life. How do podcasters who pay so much attention to health put poison in their body? (You have interviewed such people.) And yet you stand tall and take a clear position against alcohol. Yes - the body waits as alcohol is processed in our hard-working, amazing livers. That isn't healthy!
I don't eat any of these. Including any processed foods. Whole food here, thanks to you when I started my healthy lifestyle 5 years ago. I truly believe you helped save my life ❤
I would like to see Tommy boy here scavenging for food in Gaza for about 2 months straight and after all that watch his very first clip promoting thrive market
I don't know about the hyperactivity, but Red40 makes me break out very badly. I will get rashes and my skin will inflame from contact, like if I scratch it will flare up. Also, in the past when I would eat processed sugar, like if I decided to gorge myself on a pack of cookies, then my tattoos that have red dye in them would become inflamed and itch a lot. I no longer eat any food with dye in it just to be safe.
The MSG thing is sadly laughable and historically racist. (look up the term "nocebo" for your claimed effects) The first study you mention just talks about MSG improving the pleasantness of food. Of course it does, because you have savory receptors on your tongue which are glutamate receptors detecting protein because the proteins you chew always have glutamate. Your conclusion that this is "tricking your brain" is just an idiotic take. When you find a steak savory because the proteins in it contain glutamate, is that tricking your brain? or is that just that you have evolved to like to eat protein. What about eating food unsalted? When you salt and pepper a food like a hamburger or vegetable and find it more delicious, is it tricking your brain that you want to eat more of it. Try unsalted butter on toast, the sprinkle some salt on it, does it taste much better? and if you want to eat more of it then that's tricking your brain? Adding any seasonings in preparing foods by your "logic" is tricking your brain. LOL. In that second study, they were feeding the rats a dose of 4g of MSG per Kilogram of bodyweight. That's a dose of about 330 grams of MSG for a 180 pound human. That's almost 3/4 of pound of MSG ! That's of course a bit naive. The human equivalent dose will be something less than that but it's still going to be a whopping large dose! It's difficult to directly translate rat data into what amount would have the same effects in humans. But a decent estimate is if you divide the rat dose by 6.2 to get an estimate of a human equivalent dose as suggested by this publication (Nair AB, Jacob S. A simple practice guide for dose conversion between animals and human. J Basic Clin Pharm. 2016 Mar;7(2):27-31). You then get an estimate human equivalent dose of about 53 grams for a 180 pound human which is almost 2 ounces of MSG! To quote the FDA, "The glutamate in MSG is chemically indistinguishable from glutamate present in food proteins. Our bodies ultimately metabolize both sources of glutamate in the same way. An average adult consumes approximately 13 grams of glutamate each day from the protein in food, while intake of added MSG is estimates at around 0.55 grams per day." So this rat study cited in the video, is using an human equivalent dose of MSG that is on the order of 100 times daily than a full day's consumption of added MSG! Toxic effects of anything is a factor of dosage. (Water is toxic to your brain at too high a dosage.) So again, you are demonizing of the seasoning of a dish with 0.3-0.5 g of MSG. On top of that, MSG is considered a valid way to enhance flavor while lowering salt content of the food, so the food is still enjoyable. That can be a real health benefit to many people. So again, yes you are fear mongering in this video. And adding to it with an unsavory dose of racism.
Perhaps different strokes for different folks kinda thing. The main proponent of MSG is overeating, unironically i want buy MSG to make my healthy food less bland.
Started my keto journey again last week. After watching your videos, I’ve now realized how bad of a keto diet I was on in college. I feel tons better and have such great mental clarity already. Thank you for all the info you put into your content!
"I don't want to eat anything that is tricking my brain into wanting to voluntarily eat more" I guess that is one take on not trying to eat tasty things, but at this point, what even is the purpose of life. I mean come on, salt and sugar and fat all are "tricking your brain" into making it consume excess calories, that's basically how animals evolved to like certain tastes. And face it, it's only part of the equation too; MSG doesn't just magically make mid things taste great, it is a tiny ingredient and if the food is tasty with it, it already was going to be absurdly delicious before adding a dusting of culinary crack.
In many of your videos you have discussed how aging affects reaction to ingested substances and/or exercise. Why shouldn't this possibly apply to Red Dye #40? I'm with you on avoiding it (and other artificial coloring agents), but your concept that because this has an effect on children it most likely will have an effect on adults isn't the best logic I've ever seen. I'm also curious on your take regarding the original shortening: lard. Lard isn't hydrogenated (although there are other reasons to keep exposure to a minimum), so what is your perspective on this? Finally, not only do I think you're absolutely correct about avoid tilapia, I expand the concept to include ANY farmed seafood. The numerous documented problems with this stuff has taught me to simply avoid all of it.
@@ldytrkr1436 I don't need to read that, as I already know about problems with Chinese seafood--particularly the farmed stuff (but thanks for mentioning it, anyway)..
I'm really enjoying the information but you keep cracking me up cuz you say if it does this in children, you know it's doing any humans too LOL I think you mean adults but that's so funny I'm not laughing at you I just think it's funny 🤣
The rats may have gotten sodium poisoning by the 4g/kg Mono-Sodium-Glutamate (MSG). Equivalent to 100 grams of table salt eaten by an adult 75 kg human.
MSG is fine. It's a powerful tool in the kitchen. Can take home cooking up a notch if used correctly. Ofc feeding a massive amount to a rat would cause issues. Just like feeding a massive amount of anything to a rat would cause some toxicity
Thomas DeLauer's video on the seven foods he'll never eat again highlights his commitment to health and well-being, grounded in a mix of solid scientific evidence and personal health philosophy. Here are the key takeaways: 1. **Avoidance of Artificial Fats**: DeLauer strongly advises against consuming margarine and shortening due to their trans fat content, which is linked to inflammation and metabolic issues. 2. **Emulsifiers as Gut Health Enemies**: Products like instant pudding that contain emulsifiers such as polysorbate 80 and 20 are avoided because of their potential to harm the gut barrier, affecting overall health. 3. **MSG's Undesirable Effects**: Despite its common usage to enhance flavor, MSG is avoided due to its association with overeating and potential neurotoxic effects, along with personal adverse reactions. 4. **Risks in Fast Food**: Specifically targeting McDonald's french fries, DeLauer highlights the dangers of acrylamide and unhealthy cooking oils, pointing out the broader issues of caloric density and carcinogenic risk in fast foods. 5. **Alcohol's Negative Impact on Health**: Citing research on alcohol's link to increased visceral fat and impaired metabolic functions, DeLauer has eliminated alcohol from his diet, underscoring its lack of benefits. 6. **Artificial Colors and Child Behavior**: The avoidance of Red Dye 40 is based on studies suggesting it can lead to hyperactivity and attention issues in children, raising concerns about its impact on adults. 7. **Concerns Over Farm-Raised Fish**: Specifically, farm-raised tilapia is avoided due to potential contaminants and unethical feeding practices in some countries, highlighting a preference for more naturally sourced proteins.
Msg is naturally occurring in tons of the healthy foods you're already eating. Glutamate and sodium are both required to live and function. The only danger from msg is exactly the same risks as over eating a high sodium volume. Sodium in high enough doses is lethal. Are you going to stop eating that? Not enough and you die too. The key to correct MSG usage is treating balancing your total sodium intake. If you add MSG you need to reduce some of the salt you would have used, you can't just double up. The side effects you're describing are the same as overdosing on sodium.
Alcohol is the worst, the word literally derives from the Arabic word al-kuhul or al-kohl meaning man eating spirit, hence why liquor is called spirits

Acrylamide forms with any starchy food cooked at high temp. The freshness of the potato or the type of oil doesn't matter. That being said, your version would be better than McDonald's because it would be less oxidized oil and free of preservatives.
@@ARTofTY-TV From my past research I dont think Acrylamide in Moderate consumption is a big deal. I dont think there's a proven link to it and cancer for humans.
In the UK margarine isn't hydrogenated, it uses a process called Interesterification instead... I still prefer butter, but margarine over here wont kill you.
Warning to keto friends, polysorbate 60 is often added to coconut milk. Read your labels 🏷. Watch out for Xanthan in your keto treats, too. Not the best stuff for the gut.
No alcohol issues with me I'm just not willing to give up my Friday night 1 shot of Vodka w Fresca and fresh lemon as it's the only vice I have and I enjoy it. I do respect Thomas point of view and appreciate the facts provided along with all his other info/facts and opinions he shares and NO WAY am I unsubscribing for giving his opinion. I've learned so much from him and my respect to you Sir is earned and well deserved! If I ever see you in public I would happily shake your hand and say thank you.
I'm thinking that, if there was a correlative study between those who prepare their own food and those who eat at restaurants...eating at restaurants would show a substantial increase in All Cause Mortality. 🤔 Save money...Live longer/healthier...prepare your Own food!
👍🤩💝I agree. I love french fries but make them as healthily as I can - I eliminated all things McDs 20 years ago. I rarely drink wine but sometimes I do drink red wine.
So I'm not seeing polysorbate 80 or 20 in the ingredients list of jello pudding mix/ fat free-sugar free. Am I missing something? Was this an old ingredient? DO I still need to be concerned about this product? (We use it in our homemade ice cream.) Thanks for your response.
I had a terrible bout of gastritis a while back and that has totally changed my thinking. I'm now all about a healthy gut lining and microbiome, and alcohol was one of the first things to go. I was surprised how much better my skin started to look once I gave it up! Thanks for sharing all this, it's incredibly important info.

Having consumed alcohol daily for about 45 years at the level of at least a bottle of wine/six pack of beer/half a bottle of spirit (not all of them, just one of them) or more every day, I became sober at the start of the year. Over the years I’ve had a small break or two, but in general I’ve been a solid drinker for all of my life. I now sleep much better and are starting to see a number of other benefits in my statistics. I don’t miss its affect, but I do miss the taste and social connections. This year I will be dry for the whole 12 months
Congratulations!

No cheetos, doritos,fruit roll ups, oreos, animal crackers, goldfish, cheezits and many others because of red 40. There were some others certain blue and yellow dye as well. There were extensive studies showing neurological problems in kids after consumption . This was 25 years ago yet the USDA still allows it in our foods

Get a good conical burr grinder and grind your coffee right before brewing. A tiny pinch of salt and your coffee is next level. Baratza makes great grinders.

Curious about how you avoid MSG? You do know it's naturally occurring in many foods.
@@annoyedaussie3942 Esp since it's hidden in listings like "natural flavors"
Arsenic and cyanide occurs naturally in foods too..that doesn't mean I'm going to chase it down and consume more of it
Most people would correctly say..they don't consume arsenic and cyanide
But there are some time waters who would disagree
@michaelo2522 I am guessing you are responding to me. There isn't high levels of arsenic in foods. However if you eat any food with fish sauce or soy sauce or yeast extract or tomato or certain cheeses or anchovies you are getting a significant quantity of MSG not some tiny little trace which is unavoidable. So other than those strict carnivore diet people who don't eat cheese or any sauces you are likely to consume significant quantities of MSG on occasion.
@@annoyedaussie3942 There is a difference between naturally occurring monosodium glutamate and lab MSG.
I skimmed through a book called 'alcohol explained ' and it definitely changed my opinion about drinking it. How your body reacts to attempt to counteract the consumption of it is very interesting.
Bottom line, it’s a poison. ☠️
I decided to give up drinking since Jan 2023 not because of a problem but as of a direct result of the literature. I can't tell you the backlash I have recieved from so called friends on my decision. The stangest and most idiotic comment was, " what are you doing? do you think you are better than us now?" seriously!!! For me it is like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders where I did not have to have a drink because it was " the social thing to do"
This is classic...definition of "friends"..people who care about you. Those people aren't friends, they are drinking buddies.
You find out who your real friends are when you give up the booze.
They feel guilty about their lack of self-control so they try to tear you down
Seriously I don’t drink and that makes it really hard to make friends cause it seems that’s what about 90% of people want to do when going out. 😞
clean and sober for 36 years. Congratulations on everyones sobriety. I'm 80 yo and no meds at all. Ive recently started carnivores' lifestyle and fasting 16/8 . I'm sleeping better. Reduced inflammation. Brain fog gone. Just wish I'd stated sooner. TY ALL SO MUCH. BLESSINGS TO ALL WHO READ THIS. ❤😊

3 months of zero alcohol has increased my strength and decreased my body fat , nothing else changed. I was already eating healthy and exercising frequently. Quitting drinking beer on the weekends had a bigger impact than I thought it would.

Right on Thomas! I've been into health, fitness and nutrition for over 3 decades, have watched you probably the longest, and your explanation of problematic foods and or supplements is spot on. With my current age and state of physiology I've moved into the longevity area of my lifestyle. You're expert interviews with cutting-edge influencer's has been eye opening at times.

Not sure if this will be seen or not, but I have to thank Thomas for the wealth of knowledge and information he's given out. Since I started listening to his channel roughly 3 months ago, I've gained so much knowledge about health, foods, exercise and a bunch of other stuff. I've also lost 30lbs in the process as I've made some real life changes with my overall health and body. Again I say, Thank you thank you, thank you!
Enjoyment is to me is; balance. I will have a piece of cake for special occasions and red wine on weekends. Other that that my diet is rich in veggies and protein. BALANCE. I don’t have any health issues. Why is there so much shame unless you have a strict diet??!!
Tilapia or Poop Fish, as it's more commonly known
Just don't eat anything from that country, period.
There's nothing wrong with MSG as a substance, it's just the way we use it in cooking is way over portioned as compared to anything natural. You sprinkle MSG in cooking which is the same amount of umami as 5-10 kg of tomatoes. You'd have to eat dishes with tomato sauce for a week just to consume that much msg...
I agree. When I eat at Asian restaurants that use copious amounts of MSG I become violently ill
I agree with all of these except maybe MSG. I see MSG as a double-edged sword. I don't see the harm in putting MSG on my steak to enhance it and then even want it more. Yes, avoid it at all costs in garbage food, but if you know that what you're eating is good, then I am all for it. But hey, that's just me.
How does msg on a steak enhance it??? Just avoid the garbage
@@allenbrost9564It enhances flavor (subjective) for me and makes us want more (objectively), which is a good thing if you want to get more nutrition and calories in. Win, win for me.

MSG will cause high blood pressure. People who comsume a lot of it have a higher risk of stroke and heart attack. Your body has a hard time maintaining your blood pressure when there is such a great flux caused by chemical compounds like MSG. Its not good for you and its addictive. Steer clear of MSG.
MSG naturally exists in many foods to begin with.

Good list. Another one I've heard about being really bad is microwave popcorn. The inside lining of the bag leaks chemicals onto the popcorn. Not good
I'm in no way advocating Mcdonald's fries, but, on average, a Mcdonalds is more likely to rotate its oils out with fresh oils more frequently - both out of sheer necessity (volume of sales) and presence of a management structure/system operators. While even a well maintained Mcdonalds might have oil you deem as grossly unhealthy, there is a tier of fryer oil below that which exists in poorly run restaurants, places struggling to make money, and small unsupervised kitchens with crews that don't care. More places than you can imagine are keeping the same reheated oils for more than a few days, more like weeks plus, to the degree that your food is being cooked in a vat of carcinogen. If I had to guess, I'd say the predominance of health issues from deep frying come from oil practices that exceed negligence, yet go unseen, and are not part of "studies" while all the focus is directed at easy targets like McDs which has a turnover of product that would keep it from falling into this category.
I tend to agree with this analysis, and have thought the same for quite a while.
However, i also think that on average, this factor has been somewhat averaged out -- meaning, fried foods using best practices probably aren't as bad as we think they are, because the foods made with bad practices have "skewed the average" so to speak. So although really stale & reheated oil _is_ really bad, in infrequent enough consumption, our body probably has a lot of capability to properly handle enough... It's more about the regular repeated consumption that really overwhelms the system and starts causing all the damage
I dont touch them since bill gates had is hands on them everything he touches is poison
My grandma just passed two months ago, at 96. She has been drinking her whole life. Passed with a strong mind. I understand how bad it can be but many a people for centuries have drank and just kept on just fine. Diet is a huge part of things and I think alcohol mixed with poor lifestyles can be mega catalysts.
Genetics play more of a role than diet, exercise, etc.
It’s more why put a poison in your body to start with. Sure, some people have survived Heroin addiction too but odds are against most.
I’m guessing because it’s fun, helps to be social, and makes you feel great in the moment.

At the advice of a counselor I was seeing for anxiety , I cut out all additives and dyes . Within 2 days my overall nervousness lowered quite a bit . Granted a lot of those items also have very high sodium levels . Occasionally I have something with additives , like a canned soup , and I feel it soon after. My heart starts pounding and I get agitated . The tricky part though is I was raised on foods like pot pies, frozen pizzas, and Hamburger Helper . So there's that comfort food appeal . So sometimes I mock up my own healthier versions of them .
Agree with everything but once every couple of months I LOVE getting absolutely trashed and dancing my face off with some friends at a concert 😂 Even the hangover the next day is fun - I just watch TV, turn my phone off, and eat some Pho. It's a great break from my usually hectic crazy life.
I wouldn't want to do that more frequently though. The novelty of it keeps the experience really fresh, and at the end of the day I care SO much more about my daily responsibilities and fitness than the feeling of alcohol.
Find the balance you need to live a great life - everyone's different!
you are right. everyone is unique. when i used to get trashed, the next day i'd go out to my organic garden and work like a dog. two hours later the hangover was magically gone.
What an idiot
The problem with MSG is that I think they hide it on labels as something else. It's not listed directly so that you know. My L&P worstechire sauce is pretty decent but says "natural flavors" - well what are those exactly?
I drink wine on weekends, I agree with all the rest
Alcohol for me too on most weekends, at least once. Also don't buy into all the fear of Tilapia.
I used to drink wine on the weekend. My problem was it was two bottles of wine each session…..

This was a good video. I heard years ago from a butcher in a grocery store how bad Tilapia was and I never touched it from that day forward. It’s gross. You definitely taught me something new about the pudding, will be re-evaluating that option of food.
MSG naturally occurs in many foods such as tomatoes and cheeses.
Yeah, I'm a lot less concerned about this one, since it exists naturally in most savory umami flavors. Maybe processed MSG causes some people problems.

I completely agree on the alcohol. Its been almost 4 years since I've touched it. A lot of people I talk to say they have it sometimes or a few drinks a week. I just can't do that. I know what it used to lead to. I've managed to substitute it with much healthier habits and try to live the life I was meant to live. Thank you for the information. It has helped me for over five years now. 🙏
Nice one... I completely agree and have found the same with these choices...
There are a number of non-transfat non-hydrogenated fat margarines made with olive or avocado oil. There exist better alternatives to the worst type (which is banned in many jurisdictions due transfat bans).
Industrial seed oils consist mostly of linoleic acid. It has been shown to oxidize in the body (and oxidize LDL in the process) and not just in a deep fryer or sitting in the open for weeks. Industrial seed oils are already partly oxidized due to high temperature processing. This is why chemical agents are used to remove the stench. Residual amounts of these agents and solvents (e.g. hexane) used to extract the seed oils are contained in every bottle of "vegetable oil". There is also a substantial variance in the amount based on different production batches and from different companies. If you are going to exclude MSG, then it does not make sense to not exclude industrial seed oils. If you have a choice and still feel compelled to use a "vegetable oil", then choose extra virgin olive oil. At least it is not semi-oxidized and contaminated with residual toxins.

Thank You Thomas. YOU NAILED IT. I've known about these issues for a long time. The one about Tilapia makes sense too.

Giving a tiny nod to your content overall. Specifically though, I am one of the people that subscribed after you stated your position on alcohol. I had no idea what you were going to say but I expected you to give it a slight thumbs up like most health related podcasters. I think MDs tend to be neutral on alcohol or support light alcohol use (are they beholden to the alcohol lobby or do they exist in an alcohol-rich culture?). My spouse drinks alcohol and there is a place for alcohol for some people. I am in recovery so I have a big dog in the fight for taking a strong position against alcohol consumption - my life. How do podcasters who pay so much attention to health put poison in their body? (You have interviewed such people.) And yet you stand tall and take a clear position against alcohol. Yes - the body waits as alcohol is processed in our hard-working, amazing livers. That isn't healthy!
I may have a taste of wine every once in a while. But everything else I definitely agree. One million percent which you on.

I no longer eat any food with dye in it just to be safe.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on these foods. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The MSG thing is sadly laughable and historically racist. (look up the term "nocebo" for your claimed effects)
The first study you mention just talks about MSG improving the pleasantness of food. Of course it does, because you have savory receptors on your tongue which are glutamate receptors detecting protein because the proteins you chew always have glutamate. Your conclusion that this is "tricking your brain" is just an idiotic take. When you find a steak savory because the proteins in it contain glutamate, is that tricking your brain? or is that just that you have evolved to like to eat protein. What about eating food unsalted? When you salt and pepper a food like a hamburger or vegetable and find it more delicious, is it tricking your brain that you want to eat more of it. Try unsalted butter on toast, the sprinkle some salt on it, does it taste much better? and if you want to eat more of it then that's tricking your brain? Adding any seasonings in preparing foods by your "logic" is tricking your brain. LOL.
In that second study, they were feeding the rats a dose of 4g of MSG per Kilogram of bodyweight. That's a dose of about 330 grams of MSG for a 180 pound human. That's almost 3/4 of pound of MSG ! That's of course a bit naive. The human equivalent dose will be something less than that but it's still going to be a whopping large dose! It's difficult to directly translate rat data into what amount would have the same effects in humans. But a decent estimate is if you divide the rat dose by 6.2 to get an estimate of a human equivalent dose as suggested by this publication (Nair AB, Jacob S. A simple practice guide for dose conversion between animals and human. J Basic Clin Pharm. 2016 Mar;7(2):27-31). You then get an estimate human equivalent dose of about 53 grams for a 180 pound human which is almost 2 ounces of MSG!
To quote the FDA, "The glutamate in MSG is chemically indistinguishable from glutamate present in food proteins. Our bodies ultimately metabolize both sources of glutamate in the same way. An average adult consumes approximately 13 grams of glutamate each day from the protein in food, while intake of added MSG is estimates at around 0.55 grams per day."
So this rat study cited in the video, is using an human equivalent dose of MSG that is on the order of 100 times daily than a full day's consumption of added MSG! Toxic effects of anything is a factor of dosage. (Water is toxic to your brain at too high a dosage.)
So again, you are demonizing of the seasoning of a dish with 0.3-0.5 g of MSG. On top of that, MSG is considered a valid way to enhance flavor while lowering salt content of the food, so the food is still enjoyable. That can be a real health benefit to many people. So again, yes you are fear mongering in this video. And adding to it with an unsavory dose of racism.
White man is built different okay, its like Asians are mostly lactose intolerant. Are Asians racist hating WHITE cows milk?
Perhaps different strokes for different folks kinda thing. The main proponent of MSG is overeating, unironically i want buy MSG to make my healthy food less bland.
Started my keto journey again last week. After watching your videos, I’ve now realized how bad of a keto diet I was on in college. I feel tons better and have such great mental clarity already. Thank you for all the info you put into your content!
"I don't want to eat anything that is tricking my brain into wanting to voluntarily eat more"
I guess that is one take on not trying to eat tasty things, but at this point, what even is the purpose of life. I mean come on, salt and sugar and fat all are "tricking your brain" into making it consume excess calories, that's basically how animals evolved to like certain tastes. And face it, it's only part of the equation too; MSG doesn't just magically make mid things taste great, it is a tiny ingredient and if the food is tasty with it, it already was going to be absurdly delicious before adding a dusting of culinary crack.
great information...Thank you! I agree with you.
In many of your videos you have discussed how aging affects reaction to ingested substances and/or exercise. Why shouldn't this possibly apply to Red Dye #40? I'm with you on avoiding it (and other artificial coloring agents), but your concept that because this has an effect on children it most likely will have an effect on adults isn't the best logic I've ever seen.
I'm also curious on your take regarding the original shortening: lard. Lard isn't hydrogenated (although there are other reasons to keep exposure to a minimum), so what is your perspective on this?
Finally, not only do I think you're absolutely correct about avoid tilapia, I expand the concept to include ANY farmed seafood. The numerous documented problems with this stuff has taught me to simply avoid all of it.
No seafood of any type from China . Read the label!
@@ldytrkr1436 I don't need to read that, as I already know about problems with Chinese seafood--particularly the farmed stuff (but thanks for mentioning it, anyway)..

The rats may have gotten sodium poisoning by the 4g/kg Mono-Sodium-Glutamate (MSG). Equivalent to 100 grams of table salt eaten by an adult 75 kg human.
Exactly this. The dosage is the issue. Western fear of MSG is insane. It's just salt made from seaweed rather than rock salt.
Also, between a quarter and a third of wheat protein is glutamic acid, the amino acid part of MSG.
MSG is fine. It's a powerful tool in the kitchen. Can take home cooking up a notch if used correctly.
Ofc feeding a massive amount to a rat would cause issues. Just like feeding a massive amount of anything to a rat would cause some toxicity

Thomas DeLauer's video on the seven foods he'll never eat again highlights his commitment to health and well-being, grounded in a mix of solid scientific evidence and personal health philosophy. Here are the key takeaways:
1. **Avoidance of Artificial Fats**: DeLauer strongly advises against consuming margarine and shortening due to their trans fat content, which is linked to inflammation and metabolic issues.
2. **Emulsifiers as Gut Health Enemies**: Products like instant pudding that contain emulsifiers such as polysorbate 80 and 20 are avoided because of their potential to harm the gut barrier, affecting overall health.
3. **MSG's Undesirable Effects**: Despite its common usage to enhance flavor, MSG is avoided due to its association with overeating and potential neurotoxic effects, along with personal adverse reactions.
4. **Risks in Fast Food**: Specifically targeting McDonald's french fries, DeLauer highlights the dangers of acrylamide and unhealthy cooking oils, pointing out the broader issues of caloric density and carcinogenic risk in fast foods.
5. **Alcohol's Negative Impact on Health**: Citing research on alcohol's link to increased visceral fat and impaired metabolic functions, DeLauer has eliminated alcohol from his diet, underscoring its lack of benefits.
6. **Artificial Colors and Child Behavior**: The avoidance of Red Dye 40 is based on studies suggesting it can lead to hyperactivity and attention issues in children, raising concerns about its impact on adults.
7. **Concerns Over Farm-Raised Fish**: Specifically, farm-raised tilapia is avoided due to potential contaminants and unethical feeding practices in some countries, highlighting a preference for more naturally sourced proteins.
Msg is naturally occurring in tons of the healthy foods you're already eating. Glutamate and sodium are both required to live and function. The only danger from msg is exactly the same risks as over eating a high sodium volume. Sodium in high enough doses is lethal. Are you going to stop eating that? Not enough and you die too.
The key to correct MSG usage is treating balancing your total sodium intake. If you add MSG you need to reduce some of the salt you would have used, you can't just double up.
The side effects you're describing are the same as overdosing on sodium.
Great list!
Alcohol is the worst, the word literally derives from the Arabic word al-kuhul or al-kohl meaning man eating spirit, hence why liquor is called spirits

So I'm not seeing polysorbate 80 or 20 in the ingredients list of jello pudding mix/ fat free-sugar free. Am I missing something? Was this an old ingredient? DO I still need to be concerned about this product? (We use it in our homemade ice cream.) Thanks for your response.
Not givin up french fries for anyone.
I had a terrible bout of gastritis a while back and that has totally changed my thinking. I'm now all about a healthy gut lining and microbiome, and alcohol was one of the first things to go. I was surprised how much better my skin started to look once I gave it up! Thanks for sharing all this, it's incredibly important info.
kudos on your anti-alcohol stance! I agree 100% - alcohol is corporate poison
