Thanks to your videos , I quit drinking Mt Dew completely and dropped white bread and rice , all breakfast cereals including oatmeal , and all HFCS products - I dropped 25 pounds in less than four months doing this one thing !! I didn't go keto diet , but I am literally AMAZED at the weight I dropped by just CUTTING HFCS - THANK YOU dr. Berg !!!
@@tommythompson6156 Yes. In over-produced packets, hell yes. They put that poison in almost all the highly processed foods. READ every label and you can educate yourself on how to avoid it. I'm OCD, so I've been reading ingredients all my life. lol It's a blessing and a curse. Haha! Good luck to you!
Food companies realize that people are trying to avoid HFCS so they went to the FDA and asked if they could change the name of HFCS to just Corn Syrup so that way people have no idea what they are ingesting. Of course the FDA said yes that's fine do what ever you want. I'm sure they paid them a huge amount of money to do it. So if the label says Corn Syrup it's probably HFCS.
It's great, to get an iron flask of water...and pack it Hydroflask, Stanley, etc.. No use for sodas Maybe for special occasions It could be why Kids are getting Obese In the US
Grass fed Yogurt only for me and very rarely eat any grains. This diet change has been over a year for me and I’m in amazing shape. Pushing 59 years old and still backpacking, canoeing, mountain biking and more. I’m loving the keto life style. Thanks Dr. Berg. I do not care if I live longer but I do care about the quality of my life and it has become fantastic. I’m living life as a great adventure.
I read every label. Funny how many people ask me while I’m reading if it is ok to eat. Most times it turns in to a conversation on eating health and they seem intensely interested in learning so I send them to Dr. Berg and Dr Ken Berry. Best advice out there. Dr Berg would be a great Surgeon General for the USA.
sardines are cheap but healthy, they cant be farmed and they fill you up despite their being so small, plus they are kinda cute, and I always feel good especially my mental outlook after eating sardines, and you get your zinc, vitamin D and omega 3 from them
I have obsessively read nutrition labels for years, intentionally staying away from soy and high fructose corn syrup, and my sons know where the label is and what to look for (real food) and what to avoid. I read, years ago, that a percentage of HFCS contains traces of mercury (not to mention it's from GMO corn). My husband, on the other hand, ... unfortunately he drinks HFCS-laden drinks virtually every single day. :(
That's so great to hear that many companies are moving away from this! 😀High fructose corn syrup is so gross I've been trying to avoid for years. Crazy how many products they sneak it into though! Reading labels is SO important....

@Mianlo 2 Actually Canola oil is one of the worst & most industrially processed oils available that is all 100% GMO oxidized seed oil & offers no nutritional benefits. Google it... (see below for links)
Stopped using All store bought cooking oils. They are All hydrogenated which is bad bad bad for your health. I went back to lard, butter (real butter not marginrines), bacon fat/grease, virgin olive oil and virgin avocado oil. Foods now taste better sit on your stomach better and coupled with reducing starch carbs from my diet I have had my psoriasis go away. My stomach is reducing in size. I have lost 13 lbs, mostly from my gut area. My Leaky Gut is going away too. And since sugar is a nono I'm sure my liver is saying Thank you as well as my skin and gut. I also take 2 tbl spoon of acv with a teaspoon of lemon juice 1st thing in the morning and about an hour before bed time. My digestion has gotten better as well as my Bms. And it's been watching Dr. Berg and a couple other holistic Drs on utube that has helped the most.

They relaxed the law a few years ago so that animals can be fed GM feed, even M&S caved In to It. They are determined to push the filth onto people so they feed it to the animals that people then eat.
Not only do I stay away from HFCS , I stay away from fruit except for berries like you mention in some other videos domestication has changed fruit.. Sugar is higher phytonutrients lower, there's a few books on this craziness
I agree. Too much fruit is bad. HFCS is poison. No doubt about that. I try to only eat raw cane (turbinado) sugar. It's not nearly as bad, and it's not GMO.
The climb down of sugar consumption is mainly of awareness that it is bad for you. Very small percentage of people know about keto diet, talking to people I know.
i stopped all hfcs items and my hair stopped falling out my skin looks so much younger i have more energy i was exhausted from hfcs so exhausted i could barely walk my pre diabetes is gone got rid of that awful liver problem thank you awesome video! 🙂💕
I used the stuff for decades as a trade-off but now look for pure cane sugar; Using brown sugar as that is supposed to have molasses • I always called any bio-aromatic Keto's but now learn there are plenty of aromatic that are not; The GMO thing prompts me to maintain diligence and increase stringent avoidance
My friends and I believe we all experienced CV 19 . I don't drink anything that has HFCS I also don't smoke. I experienced what I would describe as being tired for a few days. They drink HFCS and smoke, they felt like they were going to die!
@@Flat_Earth_101same, I consumed a lot of hfcs drinks and food. I also smoke. When I caught it, I had symptoms of acute liver failure and possibly damage done.
Over here in England they put maize starch in ketchup, mayo and other sauces. I cut it out my diet along with Coca Cola and since April last year I’ve gone from 93kg to today 80kg.
The decline is mostly because the manufacturers stopped using it. General population still slurping down very large quantities of replacement bad stuff..
I've been intermittent fasting regularly, but in the evening I substitute popcorn with olive oil on it for supper mainly to stay away from shopping as much as possible lately. (I bought a box of 44 at Costco = a lot of suppers).
Forgive me Dr. Berg, but the animation of the “flashing/glowing” (1:16) liver it appears to be on the left side of the body? It’s driving my OCD crazy but otherwise always a pleasure to learn with you thanks! Stay safe everyone.
Dr. Berg, I listened twice to this video and once for the chicken video. My takeaways: People have left beef and embraced chicken for the cost difference. Most of us mortals have to worry about price, at $1 a pound for chicken and $5 a pound for beef, one can feed their family for 20 cents on the dollar. Next, you discuss the seed oils vs. the non-seed oils. A simple way to inform the listener is to simply say do not buy oils in clear plastic. That also will address the oxidation issue as the dark bottled oils are in dark bottles for a reason. Next, the topic of extra virgin olive oil is bogus too because the driver for its use is the Omega 3. Well, its inherent Omega 3 converts to the good EPA at less than 1% transfer. The primary component in extra virgin olive oil is Omega 9, and I do not know much benefit from this fat. Lastly, we have switched to European bacon and cheese for two reasons as our primary protein and fat sources because Europe does not permit roundup chemical types. In that matter, even dentists in Europe do not promote the mainstay filling used in America. I only use resins. Bottom Line: Your videos are helpful and perhaps more content would even be better.
Before I did keto (I’ve been keto almost 2 years now) I did weight watchers. They taught us that sunflower, safflower, canola, Olive oil, were all good for you. For people that don’t know about nutrition- I thought weight watchers was the way to go. I did it for 5 years. I lost weight, but I always had cravings. I would save points just to have a snickers or a coke and still lose weight. I’ve had so many people tell me- I could never do keto, it’s not Sustainable for life. If anyone is on the fence. The cravings go away. I can look at so many things that I use to love and be okay without it. Once in the Being of keto I tried to eat homemade egg rolls. It made me so sick, I was throwing up at 2am. I’ve never had a urge to do that again. Keto has changed my (and my husbands) life.
HFCS gave me severe short term memory failure and lasting short term memory problems that i still havent fully recovered from. i have trouble learning new information, nothing ever sticks, and i lost one of my jobs due to the inability to learn. i felt so inferior and stupid. it got so bad that i forgot how to put on my shoes. once i pinned it down i started consuming food with cane sugar and the problem was gradually resolved. dont let anyone make you feel shame for reading ingredients on labels, being called a "health nut" is not being a health nut, but significantly saving your future and quality of life. ingredients like this can ruin your life. i don't consume sugar anymore by the way
In the 1970s, the advise we got was that sucrose had a double bond, and didn't break down as well, but fructose was better. That must have been the initial familiarization stage. Tell us the difference between high fructose corn syrup, and regular corn syrup... Or not, I haven't used corn syrup since the '70s.
@@wubwubjourney Tastes too good, really, 🤦♂️. Complete and utter garbage filled with the trinity of metabolic disease. Yeah, no thanks, I'll stick to my diet filled with delicious, nutrient dense meat, organ meat, fish, shellfish, eggs, dairy, green and low startchy vegetables.
I'd say people downgraded from beef to chicken mostly because it is cheaper as a lot of people can't afford beef... being "healthier" is a concept only a few can ponder when buying.
It I just not the Keio diet that has contributed to the decline in sugar usage. The increase in healthy Vegan diets has also made a significant contribution. I hated my Leto diet but I love my Vegan diet. Find what works for your body, but be sure and decrease or eliminate sugars.
ETH Zurich along with the University Children’s Hospital Zurich conducted the study. They fed mice ketogenic diets and high-fat diets and then tested their metabolisms and sugar responses. They found that keto diets don’t allow the body to properly use insulin, so blood sugar isn’t properly controlled. That leads to insulin resistance, which can raise the risk for type 2 diabetes.
@@Fjerid depression, anxiety, muscle and joint pain and swelling, skin issues like pimples and dry skin especially in the winter time, my vision seems to improve on carnivore, and what I'm doing straight carnivore a little woman loves it because love making can go an hour or two no problem. I'm not saying that actual penetration for an hour or two but the fact that a guy my age can stay interested for an hour or two at a time it's pretty amazing. Sadly I become a mere mortal when I'm eating vegetables and fruits and Grains and all of those problems return. Certainly not as bad on ketogenic. It breaks my heart because I grew up on a produce Farm and also lived in the Caribbean when I was a kid when we had 11 different fruits. I've been gardening pretty intensely since leaving the farm at age 18. Aquaponics, Hydroponics, aeroponics, Dutch bucket systems, you name it, I've done it when it comes to Growing produce.
@@Fjerid yeah, I'm in alternative medicine myself and have been for the last 10 years and one thing I've learned about obese people in diabetics is oh, and I have this problem myself, they are obese and pre-diabetic or diabetic because of their addiction to sugar. I have never had a diabetic that I treated who was still on his metformin or insulin 21 days after switching to the ketogenic diet. If he switches to the carnivore diet he will be off both those medications within 7 days. The problem is people are addicted to sugar as much as as if it were cocaine. Actually I quit all drugs when I was 21 and it was easy compared to Sugar that I still battle every day. See if you can get her to do ketogenic diet. That's a good place to start. Carnivores much better for her issues but that's a real hard diet to do for sugar fiends like myself. As far as fruit goes, that breaks my heart too because when I lived in Panama in Jamaica we had a yard in Panama that was an acre and a half and it had 11 different kinds of fruits on it. And tropical fruits are a hundred times better than anything you can get in the grocery store in the United States. The problem is that the only organ that can metabolize fructose is the liver. So I have really healthy clients who are thin and exercise a lot but they have fatty liver disease and they can't figure out why. The reason is is they start every morning with a fruit smoothie which is the equivalent of several pieces of fruit and then they eat fruit all day long. Most sugars, most of the major organ systems in your body can metabolize but fructose can only be metabolized by the liver so if you take in more fructose than your liver can metabolize it's going to turn to fat and be stored on your liver. Believe me man, carnivore diet is not something I want to do. But as I've gotten older and after I get into alternative medicine about 10 years ago I've learned more and more that vegetables and fruits have all kinds of toxins in them. Lefton's, oxalates, goitrogens, plants don't want to be eating any more than animals do. Growing up on the farm spraying chemicals on the vegetables we grew I always noticed that some vegetables plants were left alone by the insects much more than others. For instance, potatoes, which are part of the deadly nightshade family are only attacked by the Colorado potato beetle. I was always amazed by that. plants have a pretty good defense mechanism but that seems to almost always be one insect that can fight through them. I need vegetables and fruits if you eat uncooked or at the wrong time will literally kill you on the spot. and Panama we had a cashew tree and my dad and mom forbade me from going anywhere near it like it was in the Garden of Eden and God himself had forbidden it LOL cashews can kill you dead just from handling them at the wrong time. in the last 10 years I have discovered that a major cause of gout is nuts of all kinds. anyway, sorry for the diatribe but you asked LOL bad spelling and grammar too, but I'm at work just doing voice texting. No time to go back and fix it all LOL
i dont think chicken is being eaten more and beef less is because its healthier. Check the prices. Beef is rediculous. We have occasional hamburger when its on sale and occasionally really cheap cuts of beef on sale. The rest of the time we eat chicken, turkey, pork because the prices are much lower. 99c a pound vrs. $7 to $15 dollars a pound is quite a difference.
HFCS gives me non-stop gas! So sad cause I can’t drink any soda in the fast food restaurants (I do it every now and then so relax with your sermons). Mexican soda is good cause it usually doesn’t have it, and I even tried a can of real sugar Pepsi that was delicious but I can’t find it anywhere near me in nyc, I googled it and it’s sold all the way in NJ 😭
Please do a video on what causes pleural effusion ishemedia. I’ve been in the ER recently and doctors found that I have this. They also said that my EKG was abnormal, that I had T waves abnormalities. I never was diagnosed with this abnormalities until I’ve been in Clonidine for a while. It’s upsetting because my blood pressure is really high and MDs scared me to taking their drugs, which seemed to have created more health issues for me. I don’t know what else to do to heal these conditions. It all started ever since I’ve had chronic gastritis, ulcers, and gallstones after taking NSAIDS. I’m tired of seeing more MDs, only for them to turn around and throw more risky drugs at me. My medical insurance will not pay for Holistic Doctors, so I’m stuck with the helpless MDs. Help.
Ok. Beets. Honest question. Glyphosate is sprayed to kill weeds. If farmers sprayed glyphosate on beets, it would kill the crop. Is it like wheat where they spray it at the end of growing season to kill it right before harvesting? Also, beets products come from the roots only, right? Is it picking up from the soil? If so, why do not beets die from glyphosate? Are beets gmo'd to be invulnerable to roundup, or I thought roundup will kill any plant?
Reading ingredients labels be like : Corn Syrup, High Fructose corn syrup, corn syrup.. Did we mention the corn syrup? Oh yeah and just a little bit of the other ingredients you were expecting. That is, after the modified corn starch. But it's healthy! We promise!
Processed “food” is meant to get you addicted to so companies make profit. Eating locally and single component ingredients foods doesn’t make big corporate profits.
Someone please make a video on how many beers use high fructose corn syrup instead of sugar. Alcohol has horrible effects on the liver as we know. And guess what affects high fructose corn syrup has on your liver? The exact same effects of alcohol. Am I the only one who understands beer today is Weaponized to put drinkers on the highwayTo belly fat diabetes and heart problems?
Don’t forget High Fructose corn syrup is called Glucose-Fructose syrup in other countries! It’s purposely designed to confuse people but it’s the same thing
Pepsi/Kraft/Snapple/Pizza-Hut is all the same company. Just different divisions. None GMO commercial crops often uses MORE chemicals during growing to keep the crop healthy and destroys more land for farm to provide the same crop yields than GMO crops. I get your trying to help and the main points your trying to make are correct, but please be more balanced and provide full disclosure on all these things as I am sure you are aware of them! Before anybody jumps on me for being a Pro GMO shrill. Know that I am pro local. I go to the farmers market & try to source all my food close to home as possible and sustainable farming are my biggest priorities. I do prefer real sugar to HFCS.

My mother is dealing with that issues from a couple of years and it getting worse because of heat in India...please make a video on the irritation sir...b12 bit supp are already going on but it shows no effect...please tell me sir here in India because of corona lockdown I am not able to contact to a good doctor...hoping for reply sir.
I would like to see a video on modified food starches like maltodextrin and dextrose. These ingredients got on my radar after food poisoning led to ibs. These would trigger my symptoms. I started reading every ingredient and was surprised how many foods they are in. Even sugar free foods!!!
It gives me hardcore diarrhea, obesity? Maybe for some, but my body completely rejects the stuff and I end up losing weight and feeling sick. One things for sure is it's a poison that was pushed on to us due to farming bailouts.

Once I found out about keto I threw away all my white sugar bought stevia and threw away all my white flour and purchased almond flour it was the best thing I ever did for my health
Wow, I think I just found my new favorite channel!
Thanks for the information Dr. Berg. It’s empowering being informed. Good riddance HFCS.
Thank you Dr Berg, your research keep me well informed and answers my questions, and when I go look up the data it’s exactly what you inform us about, that’s why I appreciate you and your channel
I stopped buying ready-made yoghurt a long time ago. I make my own yoghurt. It is so easy - you do not even need a yoghurt maker.
As much as I've improved on what I eat, I've begun to indulge a bit. Disciplined intake has been my saving.
As far as I know one advantage of living in the UK is that GMO products banned.
wow didnt know that
They relaxed the law a few years ago so that animals can be fed GM feed, even M&S caved In to It. They are determined to push the filth onto people so they feed it to the animals that people then eat.
@@CassusBeli Buy grass-fed from farmers' markets.
:p USA needs to declare war on GMO and also junk food lol. Other countries should too actually
@Adam Klement I think public demand at the time had a lot to do with it.
Not only do I stay away from HFCS , I stay away from fruit except for berries like you mention in some other videos domestication has changed fruit.. Sugar is higher phytonutrients lower, there's a few books on this craziness
Yea lots of fruits are Gmo
I agree. Too much fruit is bad. HFCS is poison. No doubt about that. I try to only eat raw cane (turbinado) sugar. It's not nearly as bad, and it's not GMO.
The climb down of sugar consumption is mainly of awareness that it is bad for you. Very small percentage of people know about keto diet, talking to people I know.
i stopped all hfcs items and my hair stopped falling out my skin looks so much younger i have more energy i was exhausted from hfcs so exhausted i could barely walk my pre diabetes is gone got rid of that awful liver problem thank you awesome video! 🙂💕
BTW, thanks for all you do! You should have your own TV show with a major network!
Saw a label on a bottle of soda pop, “made with pure cane sugar”. That’s a whopping 5% less fructose.
It's still better than HFCS
it doesn't cause cravings
Like HFCS
Keep up the good work!! You're making a change.
Personally I enjoy the taste of full fat plain organic grass fed green yogurt. It’s expensive but daaaang it’s so good
I used the stuff for decades as a trade-off but now look for pure cane sugar; Using brown sugar as that is supposed to have molasses • I always called any bio-aromatic Keto's but now learn there are plenty of aromatic that are not; The GMO thing prompts me to maintain diligence and increase stringent avoidance
So table sugar is bad because of its high fructose. Cane sugar is not as bad, because it has no fructose. But it's best to stay away from all sugar.
Table sugar comes from sugar cane. Cane sugar is sucrose (fructose + glucose), which is table sugar.
I would love to see a research paper on hfcs consumption and covid-19 cfr.
My friends and I believe we all experienced CV 19 . I don't drink anything that has HFCS I also don't smoke. I experienced what I would describe as being tired for a few days. They drink HFCS and smoke, they felt like they were going to die!
@@Flat_Earth_101same, I consumed a lot of hfcs drinks and food. I also smoke. When I caught it, I had symptoms of acute liver failure and possibly damage done.
For anyone in the UK, it's called Glucose Fructose Syrup
Over here in England they put maize starch in ketchup, mayo and other sauces. I cut it out my diet along with Coca Cola and since April last year I’ve gone from 93kg to today 80kg.
The decline is mostly because the manufacturers stopped using it. General population still slurping down very large quantities of replacement bad stuff..
I've been intermittent fasting regularly, but in the evening I substitute popcorn with olive oil on it for supper mainly to stay away from shopping as much as possible lately. (I bought a box of 44 at Costco = a lot of suppers).
A box of 44? Can you clarify?
Forgive me Dr. Berg, but the animation of the “flashing/glowing” (1:16) liver it appears to be on the left side of the body? It’s driving my OCD crazy but otherwise always a pleasure to learn with you thanks!
Stay safe everyone.
The problem people forget that the food industry still use it and hide it in almost packaging food
Dr. Berg, I listened twice to this video and once for the chicken video. My takeaways: People have left beef and embraced chicken for the cost difference. Most of us mortals have to worry about price, at $1 a pound for chicken and $5 a pound for beef, one can feed their family for 20 cents on the dollar. Next, you discuss the seed oils vs. the non-seed oils. A simple way to inform the listener is to simply say do not buy oils in clear plastic. That also will address the oxidation issue as the dark bottled oils are in dark bottles for a reason. Next, the topic of extra virgin olive oil is bogus too because the driver for its use is the Omega 3. Well, its inherent Omega 3 converts to the good EPA at less than 1% transfer. The primary component in extra virgin olive oil is Omega 9, and I do not know much benefit from this fat. Lastly, we have switched to European bacon and cheese for two reasons as our primary protein and fat sources because Europe does not permit roundup chemical types. In that matter, even dentists in Europe do not promote the mainstay filling used in America. I only use resins. Bottom Line: Your videos are helpful and perhaps more content would even be better.
Sugar is the devil 👿!!
Feeling the truth as my thoughts 💭 went back the 🪴 garden of eden 👰🏽 🍎 ☠️ 👅 🤦🏻♂️ 😢 😡
Before I did keto (I’ve been keto almost 2 years now) I did weight watchers. They taught us that sunflower, safflower, canola, Olive oil, were all good for you. For people that don’t know about nutrition- I thought weight watchers was the way to go. I did it for 5 years. I lost weight, but I always had cravings. I would save points just to have a snickers or a coke and still lose weight. I’ve had so many people tell me- I could never do keto, it’s not Sustainable for life. If anyone is on the fence. The cravings go away. I can look at so many things that I use to love and be okay without it. Once in the Being of keto I tried to eat homemade egg rolls. It made me so sick, I was throwing up at 2am. I’ve never had a urge to do that again. Keto has changed my (and my husbands) life.
The syrup is corn 🌽 oil with sweet 🎂🧁
HFCS gave me severe short term memory failure and lasting short term memory problems that i still havent fully recovered from. i have trouble learning new information, nothing ever sticks, and i lost one of my jobs due to the inability to learn. i felt so inferior and stupid. it got so bad that i forgot how to put on my shoes. once i pinned it down i started consuming food with cane sugar and the problem was gradually resolved. dont let anyone make you feel shame for reading ingredients on labels, being called a "health nut" is not being a health nut, but significantly saving your future and quality of life. ingredients like this can ruin your life.
i don't consume sugar anymore by the way
In the 1970s, the advise we got was that sucrose had a double bond, and didn't break down as well, but fructose was better. That must have been the initial familiarization stage. Tell us the difference between high fructose corn syrup, and regular corn syrup... Or not, I haven't used corn syrup since the '70s.
Next we need the downfall of wheat, corn, soy and vegetable (grain/ seed) oils.
Matthew Alexander Sayers taste to good that’s gonna be a tough one
@@wubwubjourney Tastes too good, really, 🤦♂️. Complete and utter garbage filled with the trinity of metabolic disease. Yeah, no thanks, I'll stick to my diet filled with delicious, nutrient dense meat, organ meat, fish, shellfish, eggs, dairy, green and low startchy vegetables.
I'd say people downgraded from beef to chicken mostly because it is cheaper as a lot of people can't afford beef... being "healthier" is a concept only a few can ponder when buying.
can you do video on pork. what to took for when buying it
I don’t need sugar. I’m already sweet.
We make cane sugar in Guadeloupe 100% organic ! You can look for Gardel or Marie-Galante. They’re just delicious really
It I just not the Keio diet that has contributed to the decline in sugar usage. The increase in healthy Vegan diets has also made a significant contribution. I hated my Leto diet but I love my Vegan diet. Find what works for your body, but be sure and decrease or eliminate sugars.
the vegan diet is all sugar/carbs, how can you eliminate it??
In Canada, we loved our Crown Corn Syrup on Eggo waffles 😂 mmmm...Good times
ETH Zurich along with the University Children’s Hospital Zurich conducted the study.
They fed mice ketogenic diets and high-fat diets and then tested their metabolisms and sugar responses.
They found that keto diets don’t allow the body to properly use insulin, so blood sugar isn’t properly controlled. That leads to insulin resistance, which can raise the risk for type 2 diabetes.
Dr. Eric how true is that?
Sadly it seems like less and less food is actually healthy. Just because companies are looking for the next dollar.
Tried everything. Only carnivore takes all my issues away. Breaks my heart....been gardening since i was 8.....54 now.
@@Fjerid depression, anxiety, muscle and joint pain and swelling, skin issues like pimples and dry skin especially in the winter time, my vision seems to improve on carnivore, and what I'm doing straight carnivore a little woman loves it because love making can go an hour or two no problem. I'm not saying that actual penetration for an hour or two but the fact that a guy my age can stay interested for an hour or two at a time it's pretty amazing. Sadly I become a mere mortal when I'm eating vegetables and fruits and Grains and all of those problems return. Certainly not as bad on ketogenic. It breaks my heart because I grew up on a produce Farm and also lived in the Caribbean when I was a kid when we had 11 different fruits. I've been gardening pretty intensely since leaving the farm at age 18. Aquaponics, Hydroponics, aeroponics, Dutch bucket systems, you name it, I've done it when it comes to Growing produce.
@@Fjerid yeah, I'm in alternative medicine myself and have been for the last 10 years and one thing I've learned about obese people in diabetics is oh, and I have this problem myself, they are obese and pre-diabetic or diabetic because of their addiction to sugar. I have never had a diabetic that I treated who was still on his metformin or insulin 21 days after switching to the ketogenic diet. If he switches to the carnivore diet he will be off both those medications within 7 days. The problem is people are addicted to sugar as much as as if it were cocaine. Actually I quit all drugs when I was 21 and it was easy compared to Sugar that I still battle every day. See if you can get her to do ketogenic diet. That's a good place to start. Carnivores much better for her issues but that's a real hard diet to do for sugar fiends like myself.
As far as fruit goes, that breaks my heart too because when I lived in Panama in Jamaica we had a yard in Panama that was an acre and a half and it had 11 different kinds of fruits on it. And tropical fruits are a hundred times better than anything you can get in the grocery store in the United States. The problem is that the only organ that can metabolize fructose is the liver. So I have really healthy clients who are thin and exercise a lot but they have fatty liver disease and they can't figure out why. The reason is is they start every morning with a fruit smoothie which is the equivalent of several pieces of fruit and then they eat fruit all day long. Most sugars, most of the major organ systems in your body can metabolize but fructose can only be metabolized by the liver so if you take in more fructose than your liver can metabolize it's going to turn to fat and be stored on your liver.
Believe me man, carnivore diet is not something I want to do. But as I've gotten older and after I get into alternative medicine about 10 years ago I've learned more and more that vegetables and fruits have all kinds of toxins in them. Lefton's, oxalates, goitrogens, plants don't want to be eating any more than animals do. Growing up on the farm spraying chemicals on the vegetables we grew I always noticed that some vegetables plants were left alone by the insects much more than others. For instance, potatoes, which are part of the deadly nightshade family are only attacked by the Colorado potato beetle. I was always amazed by that. plants have a pretty good defense mechanism but that seems to almost always be one insect that can fight through them. I need vegetables and fruits if you eat uncooked or at the wrong time will literally kill you on the spot. and Panama we had a cashew tree and my dad and mom forbade me from going anywhere near it like it was in the Garden of Eden and God himself had forbidden it LOL cashews can kill you dead just from handling them at the wrong time. in the last 10 years I have discovered that a major cause of gout is nuts of all kinds. anyway, sorry for the diatribe but you asked LOL bad spelling and grammar too, but I'm at work just doing voice texting. No time to go back and fix it all LOL
i dont think chicken is being eaten more and beef less is because its healthier. Check the prices. Beef is rediculous. We have occasional hamburger when its on sale and occasionally really cheap cuts of beef on sale. The rest of the time we eat chicken, turkey, pork because the prices are much lower. 99c a pound vrs. $7 to $15 dollars a pound is quite a difference.
What about honey? I used to be a beekeeper and used to eat a lot of honey. Honey has similar content of glucose and fructose.
HFCS gives me non-stop gas! So sad cause I can’t drink any soda in the fast food restaurants (I do it every now and then so relax with your sermons). Mexican soda is good cause it usually doesn’t have it, and I even tried a can of real sugar Pepsi that was delicious but I can’t find it anywhere near me in nyc, I googled it and it’s sold all the way in NJ 😭
It's a shame the US has to get real soft drinks from Mexico.
Please do a video on what causes pleural effusion ishemedia. I’ve been in the ER recently and doctors found that I have this. They also said that my EKG was abnormal, that I had T waves abnormalities. I never was diagnosed with this abnormalities until I’ve been in Clonidine for a while. It’s upsetting because my blood pressure is really high and MDs scared me to taking their drugs, which seemed to have created more health issues for me. I don’t know what else to do to heal these conditions. It all started ever since I’ve had chronic gastritis, ulcers, and gallstones after taking NSAIDS. I’m tired of seeing more MDs, only for them to turn around and throw more risky drugs at me. My medical insurance will not pay for Holistic Doctors, so I’m stuck with the helpless MDs. Help.
I. Saw one the other day that said non gmo canola oil?
Ok. Beets. Honest question. Glyphosate is sprayed to kill weeds. If farmers sprayed glyphosate on beets, it would kill the crop. Is it like wheat where they spray it at the end of growing season to kill it right before harvesting? Also, beets products come from the roots only, right? Is it picking up from the soil? If so, why do not beets die from glyphosate? Are beets gmo'd to be invulnerable to roundup, or I thought roundup will kill any plant?
Fructose and high Fructose is not the SAME!
Was the diffrence
This guy is making this up. Why would you use glyphosphate for a beet crop? There is no requirement for hasten ripening.
Unless one buys Organic Cane Sugar, it is definitely sprayed... US cane growers use insecticides to kill a bugs.
It’s interesting that at the same time we started using high fructose corn syrup is the same time when the obesity epidemic started.
Reading ingredients labels be like :
Corn Syrup, High Fructose corn syrup, corn syrup.. Did we mention the corn syrup? Oh yeah and just a little bit of the other ingredients you were expecting. That is, after the modified corn starch. But it's healthy! We promise!
Thanks for sharing very useful information as always! BTW, I am wondering about oligosaccharides which is very popular in korea .
Dr Berg, please make a video on Jaggery !
Processed “food” is meant to get you addicted to so companies make profit.
Eating locally and single component ingredients foods doesn’t make big corporate profits.
More people are realizing it’s not good and don’t want it anymore.
That chicken picture was a tad frightening
The 30 dislikes must be working with the people who makes the disgusting stuff!
What about organic chicken?
Thank God, i never understood why they eliminated trans fat but put HFCS in literally EVERYTHING. From snacks to condiments
Thank you
Someone please make a video on how many beers use high fructose corn syrup instead of sugar. Alcohol has horrible effects on the liver as we know. And guess what affects high fructose corn syrup has on your liver? The exact same effects of alcohol. Am I the only one who understands beer today is Weaponized to put drinkers on the highwayTo belly fat diabetes and heart problems?
Is honey good or bad? I use it as my go to sweetener.
Honey is bad. Very high in Fructose and will cause major storing to the fat cells if used heavily.
@@JaguarCounty Thanks, that's what I needed to know.
@@WhiteTigeress You are so welcome! :)
@@Blackandwhitecat-u9v What say you? Why?
Don’t forget High Fructose corn syrup is called Glucose-Fructose syrup in other countries! It’s purposely designed to confuse people but it’s the same thing
Honestly I couldn’t give a fructose 😊
Its not like non gmo seed doesnt use herbicide . All modern agriculture uses herbicide.
Pepsi/Kraft/Snapple/Pizza-Hut is all the same company. Just different divisions. None GMO commercial crops often uses MORE chemicals during growing to keep the crop healthy and destroys more land for farm to provide the same crop yields than GMO crops.
I get your trying to help and the main points your trying to make are correct, but please be more balanced and provide full disclosure on all these things as I am sure you are aware of them!
Before anybody jumps on me for being a Pro GMO shrill. Know that I am pro local. I go to the farmers market & try to source all my food close to home as possible and sustainable farming are my biggest priorities. I do prefer real sugar to HFCS.
Thank you Dr Eric

I would like to see a video on modified food starches like maltodextrin and dextrose. These ingredients got on my radar after food poisoning led to ibs. These would trigger my symptoms. I started reading every ingredient and was surprised how many foods they are in. Even sugar free foods!!!
I am so sugar free for a long time now that when I mistakenly eat something with HFCS I feel like I am taking off to somewhere.
Long overdue corn syrup and use of pesticides needs to be banned entirely!! corn syrup and pesticides are the worst of them all!!
10 new ways of calling HFCS:
1. Maize syrup
2. Glucose syrup
3. Glucose-fructose syrup
4. Tapioca syrup
5. Fruit fructose
6. Crystalline fructose
7. HFCS (the same name, just the shortened version)
8. Isoglucose
9. Corn syrup
10. Dahlia syrup
So which oil we should use plz can some one give me advice
What about sunflower oil?
Can you please do a video on the benefits black seeds.
i don't know what it is in india we don't consume processed foods.
This video pops up as I’m eating a pear
I would call that "a sign from above" . :-)
It gives me hardcore diarrhea, obesity? Maybe for some, but my body completely rejects the stuff and I end up losing weight and feeling sick. One things for sure is it's a poison that was pushed on to us due to farming bailouts.
Hi Fructose syrup is also giving people gout. Pepsi atleast has more natural sweetner than Coke.
Hello Dr. Berg, I see your video regularly, your videos are brief but very informative. Thank you. I have a question, that is, I have gallbladder stone and if the largest size of stone is 1.88mm, can I follow ketozenic diet?
If you look at people in the 70's and 80's people were thinner.
Doctor please advise me on where to go, which doctor to help me in this issue I always ALWAYS had. I mean as far as I remember I used to notice my friend at school dance & move easily while I had like heaviness which I couldn't tell then what is it. Is it 8n my feet or ankles or is normal to be so. I can't remember that I mentioned it to my parents but it's so upsetting to be different from my friends then &later in life. Please advise
If HFCS is 53/42 and cane sugar is 50/50, why wouldn't cane sugar be worse?
