7 Foods I’ll NEVER Eat! (Based on Science)

- As we ring in the new year, you will likely be looking to clean up your diet and remove some foods that are making you fat. But what about the foods that may be keeping you unhealthy and you didn’t even know it? Today, we break down 7 foods I’ll never eat again starting in 2024 and we’re making our decisions based on science and the latest research that points us towards better food options.
We kick off this list with a fruit that gets a lot of attention but never necessarily for these reasons. We’re talking about bananas. Now some like to blame the banana, saying that it is a ‘high calorie’ fruit that packs on weight when eaten. I’m sorry but I am not buying it. Though higher in calories than say strawberries, blueberries or any other type of berry, it is not impactful enough to make people fat by eating one or even two a day.
What is shocking however is the recent findings of the effects of bananas on the bioavailability of anthocyanins and polyphenols in smoothies when they are included. They contain an enzyme called polyphenol oxidase that acts to degrade up to 80 percent of the polyphenols present in blueberries and greens in your shake.
That isn’t to say that eating the banana on its own at a different point during the day is bad, but it should get you to start rethinking their inclusion in your antioxidant rich smoothie that you are eating to boost your health.
Next we look to Doctor Lustig MD for his warning on whole grain bread. While we may think we are buying whole grain bread in the store, there is a high likelihood that what we purchase is no longer whole grain bread. The food industry allows the labeling of these breads based on what the product started as, not what it arrives to you as in the package.
Too often, during the manufacturing of these breads they pulverize the grains which ends up releasing the inner contents much too soon during the digestive process. This can cause a rapid spike in blood sugar and insulin which sets off a cascade of metabolic issues that can lead to you getting fatter faster. Instead, you have to look for real whole grain bread found in specialty health food stores that is much more dense and, some would say, less tasty.
We keep moving on with my personal experience with food PTSD that came from eating white bean soup just prior to experiencing one of the worst GI sicknesses of my life. Though it was just unfortunate timing it still left a mark in me that causes physical nausea and stomach upset every time I see the soup - even now when perfectly healthy.
That said, it does bring up a very important point regarding soups. If you eat any soups from a can right now you are definitely going to want to remove them from your diet in 2024. The amount of sodium and nitrates contained in these soups is just unnecessary and not conducive to long term health. Don’t fall for the label lies either. The amount of sodium stated, though already high, is usually for just half the can. We likely are eating the whole can so you can double that amount if you want to find out how much salt you truly are getting.
Next we have to focus on avoiding food dyes at all costs. There is a great amount of research attributing things like blue #1, yellow #5 and #6, and red #40 to hyperactivity and behavioral disorders in kids. Throw in the fact that a mounting amount of research has suggested that these dyes are directly linked to increases in carcinogenic disesase and they are surely things to avoid - since they do nothing more than make your foods look prettier on your plate.
Speaking of these food dyes. You’re going to want to watch how they make their way into farm raised salmon. Not many people know this but the natural color of this fish is gray, not pink. Watch to see how they do this.
Also, be sure to check out why Dr. Lustig thinks that eating yogurt may not be giving you the gut benefits that you thought it was supposed to.

@@caolanlennon3684 nothing works if you dont follow it and give up.
1. Bananas (in berry smoothies, by themselves or in other smoothies are fine)
2. Big brand whole grain bread (it's not truly whole grain in the way your body needs it to be)
3. Canned soup (extremely high in preservative sodium)
4. Dyed additives in foods (doesn't believe there's anything beneficial to eating them, *possibly* bad)
5. Farm-raised fish (Same thing as dye)
6. Yoghurt (Don't need probiotic, need prebiotic (fiber) (also says he will still eat yoghurt because he eats enough fiber))
#7 must've been a subset of one of these, because this is all the major ones he talks about
I love you long time happy new year 🎉
He just did 6
I guess strawberries would be #1, so there is 7

No 5, very important
Unfortunately, nutritional advice changes quite a bit overtime.
I just try to stay away from processed food and simple sugars and that seems to work.
Not if Bill Gates and the WHO has anything to say about it.
That’s it. Just make your food yourself and don’t eat any artificial sweeteners and you are on a good way
@@kajagoogoo9613
How so?
@@Mikathedog100 Bill Gates and the WHO are pushing for a meatless society i.e., synthetic meat and insects for YOU to eat, not them. You have an internet connection, do some homework, check prices and nutritional values of the crap they want to shove down our throats. It's an eye opener.
True, this the 20% that makes 80% impact to your health
Hi Jeff,
I feel it’s important to speak out here. Im a huge fan and have been following your advice for years, as I'm sure so have millions of other people. I read the actual study about bananas in smoothies, and it has been misquoted a lot.
The study did not mix bananas and berry’s together in a smoothie. There were two separate smoothies prepared. While participants did see a reduction in Polyphenols after consuming the banana smoothie, there is no direct evidence to say adding the banana with berries has a detrimental effect. “it is possible to extend this observation to suggest that drinks, and potentially other food preparations made with blended, pureed, or pulverized fruits and vegetables containing high PPO activity, could also limit the bioavailability of flavan-3-ols and, potentially, other polyphenolic bioactives.”
Preparing a smoothie with berries and banana would be easy to include in the study, but likely did not fit the authors narrative, as can be seen from the language used above.
FYI ,the ingredients for the smoothies in the article are:
“The banana smoothie was prepared with 177 g of ripe, frozen bananas and 240 g of almond milk. The mixed berry smoothie was prepared with 50 g each of strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries, 120 g of almond milk, 70 g of water, 105 g of crushed ice, and 95 g of yogurt. “
This is really interesting! Maybe Jeff can verify this and then pin your comment or his own comment clarifying that information!
I was going to comment on the same thing. Thank you for this!
It's not just that. "wild-caught fish is always gonna be better for you" - strong NOPE.
Fish in the wild are being poisoned, nonstop. By all the toxins, heavy metals and what not that we produce, it all ends up in the rivers, lakes and oceans.
That's why doctors have been urging people to eat fish with caution for the past three decades or so. "fish is healthy" used to be true.
Hasn't been for decades. Nowadays eating fish more than once a month is considered risky, because of all the poison you consume with the fish. If you go over that once a month amount you're at risk of accumulating so much of the heavy metals etc. that you're body is no longer able to get rid of it.
Fish farms on the other hand have control over their water quality. You can see already where I'm going with this.
The problem with the salmon is the coloring, as explained in the video, but if you compare it to wild salmon you get all those other toxins.
So maybe buy fish from a farm where they don't use coloring and avoid wild-caught fish.
Fiber is the other thing. The jury's actually still out on that one. That fiber is generally good for us might actually be untrue.
There have been studies on people with digestive troubles, chronic diseases etc. where a certain percentage of the people tested stopped showing symptoms when the fiber content in their meals was reduced or even set to zero.
So obviously there's something going on there that isn't as easy as "fiber is good for your gut"...
Indeed, people tend to overthinking everything. Just take it and enjoy it. It's way better than taking nothing.
as someone who has been eating mashed bananas with blueberries everyday for the past 6 years, I appreciate this comment!!!!
Love to see a good talk about diet. I think most people underestimate how important diet is to being healthy. I think I would actually rate it #1, if you had to choose good diet or good exercise but not the other, you would be healthier with good diet and no exercise.
dont think so. Exercise is very important too. your brain cognigtive decline goes slower when you walk alot. more benefits like bowl movement and so forth
and strenght training is another kaliber. increased bone mass. muscle strenght alot of beneficials too again
I've been eating 2 to 4 pounds of strawberries per week for a couple of years now, and I've been pest free the whole time... so I've got that goin' for me.
Lol I been eating strawberries for the last 2.5 months cause they’re the lowest cal fruit or one of the lowest cal .
@@b-rare I know, right!! They're like diet candy with vitamins, and I've never found half a worm in a strawberry... yeah, lookin' at you apples.
@@b-rarelol same here whenever I feel like binge eating I just go for a bunch of strawberries 🍓
Don't just believe everything you see on the internet cause there's nice lightning and studio lol
@@BrofUJu I'm not sure how this fits with my joke.... errrrr.... post, but I am intrigued. Would you care to enlightning me?
Heard some of this on another channel. Just saying because Jeff you always amaze me how you cover Everything ! This is just one thing that makes your channel so great ! 💪🏼👍🏼
So happy to see you getting involved in educating people about the harmful substances that are in the foods.
We need more influencers to do this for the sake of all of us. Again, thank you!
Please don't say influencers. Influencers are bullshitters posting for content, likes and followers, usually uneducated people giving advise based on limited knowledge . We need experts, who actually know the topics based on their education, training and science.
Good intention, but unfortunately nutrition is too complicated to boil down to some cheap takeaways like this. Especially when the underlying science hasn't been properly understood
@@jambojackso that means I should stop eating bananas ?
@@8megamario No that means you should be scared of eating bananas because a social media fitness influencer says so.
@@8megamario Hell no, Bananas are a great energy source. I ain't taking this video seriously because it's a load of rubbish.
Thank you so much for continuing to provide excellent content. As a marine biologist and an individual who actively works out daily, I greatly appreciate your honest recommendations to live a healthy lifestyle.
Just a heads up in salmon. The natural colour of salmon is provided by the astaxanthin present on their diet (shrinks and so). Farm salmon doesn't eat that but they usually get their colour by the addition of astaxanthin into their food and not by food dyes.
Ummmmmmmm
Exactly. For example, the baltic salmon primarily eats herring and sprat, not crustaceans which get their red color from the astaxanthin in their food. Therefore the color of the baltic salmon is much more pale than the salmon species that eat primarily crustaceans.
True
I was literally about to make this point! I love Jeff’s workouts, but I don’t agree with all of his diet advice.
Great point
+ Wild caught fish might have higher levels of heavy metal contamination in their bodies. Honestly a very questionable advice by Jeff.
Amazing content Jeff!! Been watching you for years and using your corrective workouts to fix my shoulders. Have you ever thought about doing a live workout work along?
When it comes down to the science of food, imo I think it's important to differentiate data from a study and the practicality of its application.
Avoiding whole grain bread because the grain are pulverized doesn't change the fiber content (aside from removing some of the husk), in the same way blending up blueberries into a smoothing doesn't. Your body still has to digest it through chemical means, there just in smaller pieces. The amount of fiber you're missing out on eating the husk is likely small anyway, so again, it's less of a big deal than it's made out to be.
Food dyes are really only an issue to people that might be allergic to them. Most of the population wouldn't even know they were added, because the dyes that are used now are the ones that are tested for consumption. It's really not as scary as it sounds.
If you're skipping out on yogurt because the probiotics might not actually work... you're missing out on all the other benefits it brings, like being a good protein and packed full of micronutrients.
Understanding what you put into your body is great, but if you knew the potential effect of everything that you ate, you'd be eating nothing. Just relax and find what suits your needs. With the exception of how much sodium can be in canned good, it's perfectly fine to eat farmed salmon or yogurt or bread etc. without worrying about destroying your health in a permeant way.
Nutrition must be one of the most problematic scientific areas that exist because what was considered harmful in the past would no longer be and what is considered beneficial today would already be reviewed : If we were to take these studies "to the letter" then we would eat nothing
Just my (layman's) opinion: We should reduce our intake of processed foods (especially ultra-processed foods) and include more natural foods
Thank you for simplifying complex ideas!
Regarding the banana study, the antioxidant that was analyzed wasnt even one high in concentration in blueberries. Micthevegan does a great breakdown of why the study is full of shit
Doesn't surprise me. Lustig's rant about wholegrains is mostly idiotic too.
you mean I shouldn't get scientific advice from social media? hmmm...
How long does the this interaction between banana's and blueberries take?
It’s important to note that food standards are different in every country. Australia, where I’m from, has very high food standards. We aren’t allowed to have the sodium, fat or sugar levels that the US does. We also don’t strip fibre out of our food to the same degree and we don’t use corn syrup.
I’m not suggesting that the statements made here are incorrect, just to be aware of the differences
+1000 friggin hell mate - x3 is getting to vegemite level - only high salt things i eat are sauerkraut and miso ( 300 is max level for any other thing ) - I make my on sauerkraut - but I have brought a polish one - sodium is not too bad - buy lower Na. miso paste as well - thing is I used healthier things like this to add salt - with miso - wait till my soup or whatever cools down a bit to add miso . I'm a kiwi - don't eat potato chips ( crisps ) anymore - but they can now only have say 350mg of Sodium - weird when other stuff is much more - Kellogs cornflakes used to be over 1000 years ago - like why ?? . My son likes Tikka masala - the sauce I buy has low sodium , sugar and saturated fat - seems to sell - so society is changing - as long ago - people would think that bland and thrown in some sugar , ghee/butter and salt . Baby food is really strict - Don't miss salt - cut massively back on sugar in products - now my 70-80% dark chocolate is too sweet ! so it's 90 or 95% - mostly berries and less of other fruits - mangoes are sweet as - banana I will put on a german style toast bread - so good fibre/carbs ratio to stop GI hit of banana - don't do smoothies anymore
You also live in a police state and have no freedom. Im glad your government is taking good care of you.
You also had COVID concentration camps. That's your government taking care of ya, mate!
@@tommcgivern8020 go eat up more rightie propaganda designed to trick seppos into thinking they're free. Hope Biden's treating you well lmao
From what I hear, you also aren't allowed to have freedom either lol.
Why's eating so hard 💀
Cause these organisations keep tricking us
Corporate greed
It’s really easy if we go to the basics, the carnivore diet.
It’s actually really easy. I eat a huge London broil steak with a half a sweet potato for dinner and it keeps me shredded. Try to get full off a big protein source first. Chances are you won’t need anything else. But I get it’s a joke too and society makes things way too complicated. Just keep it simple. Protein and some veggies. Carbs post workout.
Buying food at a store is instantaneous, but they are manufactured or curated products designed to look good and have a long shelf life - many not prioritizing healthy, quality ingredients.
Great video. BTW - I had also watched that video from Rhonda and learnt about not blending bananas in smoothies of you after after the benefits of polyphenols from berries etc
Awesome to see a Rhonda and Thomas Delauer video reference.
It would be awesome to see a sit down video with Thomas Delauer and you, Jeff!
I can always keep hoping
Jeff, everything in excess is bad, I don't understand why no one talks about ultra-processed foods that are harmful, because they talk badly about fruits, the problem is not the fruits, the problem is the excesses, the problem is that people don't take care of themselves, The problem is that now exercising is fatphobia anyway...
that is completely false. Good things in large amounts just get better. Cut out the trash completely, don't moderate it. Of course I am talking ideally. Most people, myself included, are too weak to go through that cold turkey period. Just really don't buy the "everything in moderation" view.
@@krisp1871everything in moderation is at least healthier than eating all terrible foods in excess. And unfortunately it’s a lot cheaper and affordable to buy and eat the “bad” food in today’s economy.
Felipe, that's a good point. Most people don't need to hear that "bananas are not optimal." They need to hear that ultra-processed food is REALLY UNHEALTHY. Because most people eat ultra-processed food every day. Bananas may not be the perfect food, but it's 100X healthier than eating a McDonald's cheeseburger.
@@krisp1871 "This is completely false" lmao I love how you seem to think that you're the gatekeeper of what's true -- what an awful reply
@@krisp1871No, nearly everything becomes deadly in big enough amounts, even water... Of course overeating stuff is bad. Even if it's good food. It is often way harder to overeat good food though but some people manage it. No limit works for many but not for us all. Or not without the right restrictions. I probably wouldn't overeat meat or protein if I ONLY ate meat though I still can imagine situations where it may have some chance... (I can't overeat it to the point of real problems, it's just unnecessarily much. Some people manage to go too far.) It's easy to overeat Vitamin D too, for some of us at least. It is fat soluble and liver has a lot of it. And so on.
Good advice Jeff--best to remain practical. One of the EMTs I know had this story about this guy that had almost exclusively a banana diet for a couple months. He ended up having this health emergency and the EMT got there and there and he said there was nothing in his truck that could save this guy's life. Anything can be harmful if taken to excess.
It's baffling that people seriously think that eating only 1 food exclusively is going to be healthy... there are no foods I'm aware of that contain sufficient amounts of everything we need.
The cultures in yogurt are definitely alive, I use store bought yogurt to make my own yogurt sometimes. If the cultures were dead then that wouldn’t work. In case your wondering, you take whole milk, dump it in a crock pot (use use an instapot), add some yogurt of your choice, I’ve used nearly every brand, and cook on low for 10ish hours. Once it’s cooled you got yogurt. Watch videos how to make it into Greek yogurt.
It dies inside you by the time it reaches its supposed destination.
He explained it wrong lmao. He made it sound like the cultures in the yoghurt are already dead.
Yogurt and all dairy products cause inflammation to your body. Milk is for babies not for growth up men.
They're alive, but not nearly enough per serving size.
My GI doctor told me the same thing and advised me to take probiotic pills instead that are specifically designed to get to the inner gut. I do wonder of any of the probiotics are absorbed along the GI tract, from within the mouth and to before it hits your stomach acids.
But I still eat yogurt every morning, because it does provide calcium, protein and some other vitamins/minerals. And I use the plain yogurt and mix it with plain fruit, which should have fiber in them.
I used to think the same way about whole grain: how can it be "whole" if it's been ground up into a fine powder? But the term "whole grain" doesn't come from the grain being whole at all. It comes from the fact that the germ and the bran have not been removed. The fact that it has been crushed into powder does not remove the health benefits. It still contains all the same nutrients and insoluble fiber to help with digestion as a literal whole grain.
germ starts oxidizing and going rancid
@@saschaesken5524 Oxidation is true, it changes the color somewhat I read. But there are techniques to reduce the oxidation time. Can't find any info on it going rancid, where is the proof on that statement.
@@xgmode . Today they use steel and milling pressure is much higher on the grains creating heat that would spoil the fats in the germ if it was not separated before.
Careful stone milling does not damage the germ.
@@xgmode Oxidation of the fat in it is what makes it rancid. Whole wheat flour smells full on rancid when it spoils. You have options though--stick it in the freezer when you buy it or grind your own on demand from wholegrains (like with a Komo mill) as the wholegrains last longer.
Well it should simply say wholemeal bread and that's it. Whole grain is just marketing trick.
Thanks Jeff, always super informative!
I will definitely pay attention to these points when I visit the US.
We don’t have these issues in the Netherlands.
Been a while since I tuned in but ALWAYS such useful direct to the point information. Hands down the best YT health channel that covers nutrition, gym, cardio, calisthenics.
Agreed! I decided last year, prior to my 60th birthday, that I would get healthier after hitting the metabolism drop which simply comes with my age. I discovered Athlean X and was instantly hooked. As a martial arts instructor for over 45-years (Yes, I started teaching in 7th grade) and former marathoner, I have always been in shape. Comes a time when you can no longer take it for granted.

Jeff talking about food sciences, I am noting these down.
Dr. Rhonda is my hero too.
Hey Jeff, thanks for all the great content!
What’s your advice to people being dependent on high doses of antihistamines to treat severe allergies and more specifically chronic hives. This type of medicine supposedly impacts the body’s stress response negatively in such a way that it diminishes the results of training.
If that’s your case or your wife’s case. You need to seek help from an alternative medicine practitioner. It sounds like they might have mold toxicity, it’s not something conventional doctors talk about. Check out Dr. Neil Nathan he has good talks about this sort of thing. Idk for sure if that’s your case but it wouldn’t hurt to look. Good luck with that, I know chronic illness is incredibly difficult to deal with.
Look into Stinging nettle root/leaf, quercetin, and bromelain. Natural antihistamines 👍
@@StormChaserZ If antihistamines, as a class of biochemicals, have a negative impact on training efficacy, then natural antihistamines will also have that effect.
Great informative video fella.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the heads up. Much respect 💙
Farmed salmon are not ‘dyed’, their colour comes from a caratenoid pigment astaxanthin added to their feed. Its exactly the same stuff that wild fish get from their natural diet. It’s an antioxidant and has health benefits.
Wild salmon and trout caught from areas where they can’t feed on crustaceans also have white flesh.
Farmed salmon are bred in dirty water and are full of diseases which is why the farmers have to add antibiotics and other rubbish to their feed. Best just to avoid farmed salmon completely.
The only safe Farmed Salmon is from Norway. I wouldn't touch the other frankinfishes
Also, isn’t wild salmon supposed to be higher in mercury and thus, in that way, less healthy?
Dude, that's exactly what he said.... 🤦♀
This only applies for america💀

"You are whatever you eat ate". Wow, Jeff!! It's so logical. Thanks again from a healthier 60-year-old thanks to your program.
1. Bananas (when combined with berries)
2. Big brand whole grain bread
3. Canned soup
4. Dyed additives in foods
5. Farm-raised fish
I must have missed 6 and 7
Bananas in smoothies to be specific. Eating bananas by itself is fine.
@@greens7933 bananas with berries to be hyper specific
Edited
That's not going to stop me from eating fish
Yogurt without prebiotics
6 and 7 are almost the same: yogurt and probiotics. People eating yogurt thinking they have probiotics. When, in fact, they need prebiotics (fibers).
Excellent video, especially the point about fiber and probiotic. Soluble fiber like phyllium husk can amp up fiber consumption. Remember to consume only one tbsp of phyllium husk and dilute it thoroughly.
Why on earth I should eat this if I can enjoy fermented food, sprouts and many other things?
I usually love your content but have a couple corrections for you. Farm-raised salmon is fed astaxanthin for color and health, which is the same thing that wild salmon get from shrimp they eat. Farmed salmon aren't fed shrimp, so the farmers supply the astaxanthin from cultured sources instead. It's an important nutrient for salmon and is good for us too. It's not a synthetic food dye. Second, about the pro-biotics, the ones in your yogurt are alive. They make the milk into yogurt. It's kept refrigerated the whole time it goes from the factory to the store. I'm a little skeptical about probiotic pills, which I think is what the doctor was talking about. Pills aren't kept refrigerated and may have spent time in a hot truck and gotten cooked.
Well partially true. Fist of all every single yogurt (and most dairy products) are pasteurized and heat kills most of good stuff including bacteria.
My advice is get raw milk and ferment it yourself. I grown on raw milk and home made dairy products.
What they do with yogurt is they add artificial bacterias after they pasteurized it.
It is same "yogurt" as the milk from the shelf is "milk". Real milk can be fermented. Try it with thus crap from shop. No chance.
Fermented food is best way to got your gut in order.
In Poland we ferment nearly everything, as before supermarkets and fridges it was one of the ways to preserve food.
Beetroot, cabbage, gherkins, Peppers, garlic, onions and way more.
Second best option is sprouts and also mushrooms. Best sprouts are from hemp, rye and spelt. At least for me.
As far as it goes for probiotics, the really good ones are refrigerated in transport and at shop shelfs. But these are not cheap.
Good probiotics will not only give you name of the strain but also the code (usually numbers and letters).
Secondly probiotics can be processed exactly same as yeasts, so they are activated once in the body, and not necessarily have to be refrigerated.
Bare in mind that prebiotics which are mentioned by doc in the video, are food for your microbiome, but if you lived horrible life (and in addition has been born through cesars cut), you will not have lot of important strains in your gut. So you can eat as much prebiotic as you want, but you will not grow them. Then you can either try to take probiotics, or eventually get microbiotic transplant where essentially they will put someone else poop in your back end. 😅
Never followed a complicated diet just ate sensibly! Never been to a gym in 20 years..just been training in crumbling garage doing brutal bodyweight exercises..Still ripped af at 53 years old!!!
Just checked your channel garageman absolutely crazy training keep it up grandpa
Обычно простое оказывается самым сложным в жизни!
Thanks for the guide Jeff. Would like to see more diet info on your page
Or maybe he should get a dietitian to give diet advice. I don`t go to the mechanic to get advice on my banking.
No way am I giving up bananas. Also eat blueberries rather blending and drinking it.
Just eat them separately, no problem.
Famous last words... You've got 3 months at the most if you keep eating those yellow bastards.
I’ll never stop eating any kind of fruit not even bananas. Great point about combining. Never realized banana could degrade the nutritional value of other fruits when combined.
There’s tons of videos on IG similar to that covering topics from history to things such as fruit with either totally false information or bits of truth mixed in with it. I do believe people should do their research on what they choose to consume for the sake of their well being.
The issue is that if X is said about a food, then you will find that someone else said the polar opposite of that as well. Clickwhores will say anything that might make people click and consume their content.
Once I sat down to 'research' if it's safe to cook with olive oil - e.g. to heat is up. I've spent like 2 hours! I've found scientific studies after scientific studies stating that "yes, it is safe" but I've also found scientific studies after scientific studies saying "no, it is not safe". Frustrating AF.
Banana is excellent for digestion. I’ll never stop eating them.
How do bananas help digestion, specifically?
Honestly, it’s actually post digestion processing. Keeps everything moving correctly. I’m sure there are other ways but bananas are my preferred option for that part of the digestive process.
Try watching the video before commenting.
@@ChrisPBacon3000 wow, you must be psychic. You’re amazing. Jeff needs more people like you commenting on his channel. I’m sure he appreciates you setting everyone straight concerning his content. Good job!!!!
@@DB-zk6td It doesn't take a "psychic" to assume that you didn't watch the video since you are proudly stating your defiance against it with "I'll never stop eating them". But since you are now claiming to have watched the video, and STILL somehow didn't understand the banana segment, .......oh well....Sorry but I just can't help you.
Man. Love your vids.. keep up your great works.. 🎉🎉

Love this type of nutritional video that goes mechanistic.
The supplement brand you endorse has a warning label on it for cadmium, mercury, and arsenic content that you say is below the FDA limit, however why ingest even low doses of these metals when, combined with these same metals that you claim are already unavoidable in so many other foods,must certainly add up to toxic levels. Are we to avoid these other real vegetables so that we ingest a safe level of metals in your powders? I personally avoid all processed powder supplements in favor of real foods. By real, I mean organic foods that grow in nature and are not processed. I’m sure there is some cross contamination with chemical pesticides and chemical fertilizers; so given that unavoidable fact, why add even more cadmium, mercury, and arsenic with your powders?
love these diet health videos
Its so funny that you mention your story about white bean soup. I had a favorite thai food place when I was living abroad that I went to every other week for a wok with some tasty vegetables on saturday nights and some egg and bean curd mixed in. I went to colleagues house for a homecooked meal the friday night prior and got a slow creaping food poisoning along with half the guests in attendance! Some of whom I saw when we ended up in the neighborhood clinic together, it was the worst case of food poisoning I'd ever had in my life with a day and a half of full heaving, dehydration, vomitting bathroom..and to make it worse it was over 100 degrees outside and I had no air conditioning in my apartment. While it wasn't the thai food that gave me the food poisoning, it was the first thing that came up...all of it, burning with its curry flavor out of my throat.... to this day, what was once one of my favorite foods I will never order it again.
I remember first finding your channel in 2016 and was into fitness for a good year then. Now I'm getting back into the gym and taking care of my health, but it seems all other fitness influencers are about PEDs for whats gonna make you look the best. Not many people are focused on health, thats why Im glad you're still going strong with the channel and delivering on that based in the science, thats why I had to come back here years later.

@@yipperdeyip Right with u there buddy...My thoughts exactly!👍🏽
The US Food & Drug Administration does not give a damn about any American. Life expectancy is dropping due to their irresponsibility.
Nutrition is the toughest part of being healthy, so try to take it as a challenge and strive to eliminate as much of the bad as you can while still "living a little" and enjoying the less healthy options out there sometimes. Don't stress too much bc there are ppl who don't have much food to eat - I know, preaching... but seriously, just try to challenge yourself and do your best. A lot of growth comes from restraint. Also, there is a lot of beauty in this world, still. Take care.@@yipperdeyip
Hi Jeff! What do you think of frozen vegetables for nutrition?
I'm not Jeff, but frozen vegetables and fruit are typically frozen at their peak freshness and ripeness, rather than fresh produce, which is typically picked well before it ripens because it needs to travel and not be spoiled upon arrival at a grocery store. So in theory, frozen can have more nutrients/antioxidants in it. If you garden on your own, then your fresh veggies that you harvest yourself when they've ripened naturally on the plant are your best bet though.
If you're talking about a typical frozen veggie mix, like a bag of carrots, peas and corn, there's probably nothing wrong with that, but you do need variety in your diet for your best gut health (which affects so many other aspects of your health), so don't rely on it alone on a daily basis for getting your veggies in. Your healthy gut bacteria need various fiber and resistant starches to keep their populations up. They don't all feed on the same things.
If you want to read about the importance of variety in your diet for gut health, then I'd recommend Fiber Fueled by Will Bulsiewicz, MD, MSCI. I've read many books on (mainly plant based whole foods) nutrition, and this one motivated me to broaden my already wide variety of foods that I eat and not get too lazy with my cooking. Eating well does take effort, so every bit of motivation helps imo!
Hello Jeff, hope this gets to you and you respond. I love the way you explain the videos and want to know if 'Barbell High Pulls' is a good exercise and which muscle group it works best for and what's the best movement/angle for it...
High Pull (wrists must be higher than elbows at the top) is literally Side Lateral Raise with flexed elbows, mid delt and upper trap obviously
hey Jeff, you should checkout the terms phytic acid and phytoestrogen's, i'm sure you'll deff. learn a few things of interest, btw thanks for doing content for so long and continuing your channel, i think you and bro science are the only 2 OG fitness channels still around from the good-ole days and still pumping out great stuff (happy 2024)

Thanks for your advice!
Great content! The only point I think that is lacking explanation is the time (u mentioned) of the banana to be consumed.
Consume when hungry...

Thank-you for clarifying your choice in yougurt because we have lots in our traditional diets...
Great info. I'd love to know ehat whole grain bread yall use. We've used Ezekiel bread in the oast, currently using Dave's brand.
Bro every food has pesticides/antibiotics. But for me, Bananas, Lemon, Oranges, Sardines, nuts, eggs are the holy grail of food. And im exercising, feeling/looking just fine.
I can only just do so much...if you listen to too much of this, you'll drive yourself crazy.
@2:12 "... and what's in every single smoothie they make?" The answer here is shredded fiber. Fiber that would otherwise (when whole) help regulate fructose absorption. Smoothies cause sugar spikes followed by insuline spikes and off goes the chain reaction...
you are such an amazing soul brother, god bless you as always🔋❤️🔥💯💪🏽🌊👑LETS GOOOOO BROTHA
Oh my gosh, this is scary! Of course everything we see on the internet is 100% true. ;-) Happy New Year!
Jeff, honest question here. I get the point about whole grain bread but...isn't the pulverized version of whole grain still healthier than regular white bread? (albeit maybe not as healthy as the brick that you've mentioned). And as always, thanks for the advice! Happy New Year!
Whole grain is still a good source of fiber. So I wouldn't eliminate it. But maybe try to find some whole grains that are minimally processed.
Humans have been not just consuming but subsisting on white bread for so very long. I think the danger of white bread is so massively overstated
Check the ratios of protein/fiber to sugar. They should both be twice as much as sugar. Ezekiel and Dave’s Killer Bread are the only breads that meet that.
I don’t understand the whole grain issue. Obviously you are not going to eat grain without it being processed to some degree. There is still fiber and minerals and vitamins in whole wheat when compared to white bread. Is he suggesting we don’t eat any bread at all?
@@drewfeld836 no. He is suggesting that you only eat minimally processed wheat. It’s just bunk. White bread was the main food source for a huge portion of European history. It’s only recently that obesity has become an issue. The main culprit is hidden sugars in foods that you wouldn’t expect. Like high fructose corn syrup in sausages.
Interesting video as always! Question: What "whole grain" bread do you recommend that you referred as being a brick or something? Is it the Ezekiel bread that comes frozen? Thanks!
I only eat Ezekiel bread. Any type of that brand is fine.
Hi, I am a PhD in aquaculture from Spain and I am here just to add one detail. I don't know how people in the USA do it, but talking about European/Norwegian salmon (and Chilean, as far as I know), farm raised salmon do not receive dyed additives in their food other than astaxanthins. This is because, since they are raised in a cage, they cannot get their natural dose of astaxanthins (which they normally get from microalgae, krill, and other stuff), so they need this additive. And even though the "natural" colour of salmon is quite pale, wild caught salmon are also red due to this same reason. So, you shouldn't be scared of farm raised salmon, actually they are way healthier; or at least that is the case here in Europe, because I know additive politics in the USA are way more permissive and troublesome from the health point of view.
wild caught salmon are also red because they eat microalgae, krill, and other stuff?
Indeed :) @@nomnomyourmom
@@Aquitanio Why are the farm raised ones healthier?
First, because we know what they eat. Second (and this one is a little bit more complicated), because we have a better control of the sanitary environment of the fish. It is true that fish raised in cages are exposed to several external agents such as parasites, but it is easier to control a fish lot that is within a cage than free fish in the ocean. And of course, if we are talking of more modern technologies such as water recirculation systems, we can almost guarantee that the fish are free from those external agents.@@nomnomyourmom
BTW, this is all obviously on paper, when practices are done correctly and everything is in order. Just like in any other professional sector, there are good and bad professionals. However, in general, it is in the best interest of fish farmers to meet very high standards. Nowadays, and I repeat, when talking about European aquaculture, I would always prefer a farm raised fish than one coming from the wild (probably also in the USA, but I cannot say the same as bluntly due to the reasons I mentioned before)@@nomnomyourmom
Let's listen closely to what Rhonda is saying. She said that IF you are putting blue berries into your smoothie, don't add a banana. Did she say "Don't add bananas to your smoothies, period"? NO. Personally, blue berries are too delicious to add into my protein shake smoothies. The great blue berry taste gets lost if I do, but I do add 1/2 a banana.
Also I add yogurt to my diet not for its bacteria, but because its a great source of the all important PROTEIN we need.
OUCH!
Love Athlean X and what you are trying to achieve but I gotta say, you might want to fact check that bit about the dyed salmon ( as plenty of others have already commented on).
In spite of your good intentions, I think you might have done more harm than good with that one.
Thanks Jeff, very eye opening! I also see you got your first non-Athlean-X shirt, must of been a Christmas gift from the wife, lol!! As always, keep it going and thank you!
Thanks for making this video.
We live in a society where people eat so much shit but the real villains are the bananas. Sorry, I just can't
Real villains are uneducated kids like you who would rather whine and make stuff up than learning more
Jeff: Here's why you shouldn't have banana and berries together
Uneducated kid: real villains are the bananas boo hoo
We obviously live in a society where people avoid basic facts because it hurts their feelz, .......therefore they resort to strawman fallacies.
Sorry, I just can't.
I’ve avoided all of these since seeing this video. Thanks Jeff!
Good one!😂

Freaking bot comment
All, strawberries are good for you as long as they're ORGANIC. Video snippet Jeff included herein noted "inorganic strawberries". Those of you eating blueberries, or any thin-skin fruit or veggie, that aren't organically farmed are also ingesting gobs of things you're better off without. Organic farming prohibits the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. You take a hit in your pocket book as organic is more expensive but it'll be worth it on many levels. Easy to research on ur own :)
Great and informative vid for this day and time ! 💪🏼💪🏼

I don't think one can buy this industrialy, maybe local baker

So helpful! Thanks
“1. Bananas (in berry smoothies, by themselves or in other smoothies are fine)”
Correct, apart from Cacao or Amla smoothies. Best to eat Bananas 2 Hours or more before or after you had your Berry, Chocolate or Amla etc. smoothie.
“2. Big brand whole grain bread (it's not truly whole grain in the way your body needs it to be)”
Correct, better to bake your own Whole grain or Seed bread, it’s easier than you think and you know what’s inside. There are tons of recipes here on YT.
“3. Canned soup (extremely high in preservative sodium)”
Correct, take low sodium cans or better cook the dried Beans yourself, you’d safe a ton of money as well.
“4. Dyed additives in foods (doesn't believe there's anything beneficial to eating them, possibly bad)”
Correct, avoid almost anything that is in a package and/or has more than 5 ingredients listed. Whole foods you can name and know what the ingredients are, by just looking at them are always the better choice
“5. Farm-raised fish (Same thing as dye)” Correct, but still has as well a lot of other toxins in them check out “PFOA’s” "Pcb's" "Mercury", etc. etc. and unfortunately that’s not only true for farmed raised but although wild caught.
“6. Yoghurt (Don't need probiotic, need prebiotic (fibre) (also says he will still eat yoghurt because he eats enough fibre)”
Correct, all probiotics, are dead better to eat fresh Sauerkraut, if its not in the cooling isle than its pasteurized kraut which is equally dead then the yoghurt.
7. Best to eat organic whole foods.....
The coloring in farm raised salmon (astaxanthin ) is a potent antioxidant. Blew my mind when I found this out.
Imagine having Jeff C for your dad growing up.... "son, make sure you do your facepulls before bed".
Thank you for including farm-raised salmon. I'm a marine science minor and spent a good portion of that learning about fishing practices/farming, and more farming methods than not are awful. There are some that are better, but it's few and far between. Seafood is just something that unfortunately, we don't think much about in terms of where it came from.
I always wondered about the salmon slices out of Norway farms. Do they enjoy a higher quality/better conditions, and considered safe to eat.
After learning of fish farming I've cut my consumption to zero.
Good thing I catch my own salmon.
Dr. Lustig has said some things with a lacking scientific evidence already in the past (specially about carbo hydrats). I'm not saying he's wrong about wholegrain bread, but I would be a slightly cautious about that statement.
Re food coloring.. I was listening to Bill Burr talk about how he now only eats healthy whole foods, and he now sees processed foods as "clown foods" especially candy and junk food. This stuck with me, I now see every package at the supermarket as clown food.
Banana: ok… but then WHEN is the good time to eat it ?
Most of the time eating fruits and vegetales before proteins helps to absorb the fiber

Every diet and every exercise will contradict one another if you watch enough videos and or read literature on. I prefer common sense diet and exercise. Excercise regularly, don’t over eat, stay away from sodas and fast food, drink lots of water, surround yourself with positive like minded people and you’ll have a good starting point for a healthy lifestyle.
Thanks! I'll stick to my buckwheat "healthy" pancakes version for breakfast and green and protein smoothies. And lots of fiber... No one is perfect but such studies are always nice to learn how to do better or rethink things!
Very interesting vid, thanks Jeff. And just to plug it a bit further, the book "Metabolical" by Robert Lustig is a phenomenal read; so much so that anyone looking to improve their nutritional intake has to begin reading it now. As the book espouses, "Protect the liver and feed the gut," a wise policy for lifelong healthy eating.
This book is incredible
I recommend TH-cam lectures by Dr Jamnadas. He references Dr Lustig in his lectures too which lead me to reading his book
They are the best information on health I have ever listened to
I have plenty of good fiction I'd rather read than one from Lustig.
Have any studies shown how much your life longevity is increased by following all this diet advice? I rather eat and enjoy moderately to healthy good and tasty food that worry about mixing bananas and berries in my smoothie
@@FINEST-uk8nc you think studies just grow on trees, kid?
Talk about studies when you don't read any.
@@FINEST-uk8nc Yeah, the study of myself when I protect my liver and feed my gut yields me feeling better, looking better and performing better. Bio markers improve, as well. It’s not just about living longer but living better. But, if you need studies that indicate that processed foods are the antithesis to longevity, try doing your own research. A search through Google scholar for “processed foods and longevity” yields over 97,000 results. Happy reading.

Not just farmed salmon is bad. Wild salmon is too, it has a good nutritional profile but is too rich in heavy metals, like all slowly maturing predator fish. A good alternative is herring, also a fatty fish, but it matures rapidly and is low in the food chain so accumulation of heavy metals isn't much of an issue.
Wild caught salmon is naturally pink. Only farm raised can be grey. However farm raised can also be naturally pink if "wild" diet is included.
Your list, especially the salmon topic, is a small, partial list which is why I went whole food plant based and only organic and non-gmo. It is the best way to ensure I am not poisoning myself every time I eat as well as dramatically increase my fiber intake. I am still a muscular 225 pound 6’4 lean 60 year old and couldn’t be happier with my physique and health. Protein intake is not an issue at all. Thanks for the video and raising awareness of the criminal poisoning now present in our food supply. Have Happy and healthy new year everyone.

Great tips! and wow only twice! I have celiac disease so I have thrown up A LOT! I have PTSD from some foods and restaurants, basically the same as the bean soup.
Remember, there is no such thing as "Atlantic Salmon". Salmon only lives in the Pacific. Atlantic salmon is a name given to farm raised salmon to make it sound more acceptable. Furthermore, the reason to eat salmon is to get the healthy Omega 3 fats, but the Omega 3 fats are actually produced by Krill, and work their way of the food chain to the salmon. The pink color normal to salmon comes from the Krill as well, in the form of Astaxanthin, which not only is pink, it has a variety of good functions. "Atlantic Salmon", or farm raised salmon, does not eat krill, and therefore will not have the same Omega 3, nor will it has Astaxanthin. Instead, it has pink dye.
Your comment was very interesting! thank you very much for that information. Am I right in thinking that in order to find out if salmon is wild salmon or not, one can ask "is that Atlantic salmon?" and if the answer is in the affirmative, then one will know it is farmed salmon? I ask because I find it a little embarrassing to ask directly "is this wild salmon?" it sounds so critical.
I'd be VERY interested in your answer if you can spare the time-you obviously know your onions or should I say fish haha and thank you again for an informative comment!!
If you ask a restaurant, they should answer honestly if it is wild-caught. Where you see "Atlantic" salmon is usually in the supermarket, or in frozen foods. They want to avoid saying "farmed salmon", so they use something that sounds better. The other takeaway is the color. Pacific salmon is pink, but not too pink. Farmed fish will be bright pink.
It's interesting. I am catching a lot of wild rainbow trout and it is also pinkish color, and also rich in omega 3. But obviously it is not eating krill in springs and lakes. But I know for sure in many lakes we have daphnia. I used to catch them to feed fish in my aquarium.
I live in Europe and just want to add that here farmed salmon is off-pink but never as pink as wild salmon. Furthermore farmed salmon has usually twice the amount of calories as wild salmon.
I wouldn’t feed farmed salmon to a dog
