Let's talk about the worst protein

0:02

in the entire world. One

0:04

day I was at Whole Foods as really

0:06

hungry you should never shop when you're really

0:09

hungry and I was looking in the deli

0:11

area and they had some are small little

0:13

chicken wings so I I ordered those. They

0:15

look really good. I noticed that

0:17

the all look like they are the same

0:19

shape though, but I didn't think much of

0:22

it. at the time and hours on driving

0:24

home I'm eating these chicken wings and like

0:26

wow these are really good and it's almost

0:28

too good. And yes I did wonder why

0:31

there is no bones and these chicken. Maybe

0:33

I thought they were like boneless chicken wings

0:35

and anyway I got home and I looked

0:37

in the mirror. My eyes

0:40

were completely bloodshot. I.

0:42

Started feeling sick. Extremely.

0:45

Tired, nauseous, I went to bed.

0:47

I slept for like three hours.

0:49

I woke up feeling drunk. I.

0:52

Called Whole Foods and I

0:54

said what, we're in those

0:56

chicken wings. Well those were

0:58

plant based chicken wings made

1:01

with a type of protein

1:03

called textured vegetable. Protein.

1:05

Ak a textured soy

1:08

protein that is the

1:10

worst protein. A human.

1:13

Could. Eat from my viewpoint.

1:15

and of course, the vegetable. they're

1:17

using. His soy now sometimes use

1:19

cottonseed as the vegetable. I didn't

1:21

know cotton was a vegetable in

1:23

I don't know of many people

1:25

eating cotton, but and nineteen sixty,

1:27

they invented this protein. Okay, because

1:29

they had to figure out what

1:31

to do with all the waste

1:34

from the seed oils. That. They

1:36

were making so the had a great idea.

1:38

Let's turn this into protein and will sell

1:40

it. As. Food. And now it's

1:43

in veggie burgers. It's in fake

1:45

meat products, fake hot dog products,

1:47

It's in cereals, it's and kids'

1:50

lunches. It's in a lot of

1:52

different things. It is an ultra

1:55

process ingredient. The word processed means

1:57

to remove. Okay, When.

1:59

you all process something, you

2:02

severely remove things from it. So

2:04

they're taking the oil from

2:06

the soybean, they're taking the

2:09

nutrients, they're taking the fiber

2:11

from it, they're heating it,

2:14

they're putting chemicals, solvents like

2:16

hexane, which by the

2:18

way is in gasoline, and then you

2:20

might ask yourself like how do they pull the hexane

2:22

out of there? Do they use another

2:25

chemical? Do they leave some of the residue

2:27

in there? Well there's no

2:29

long-term safety studies, there's no upper

2:31

limit that the FDA has put

2:33

on hexane in your food. I

2:35

mean if there's a condition called

2:37

chronic hexane toxicity, well that's mainly

2:39

if you inhale it, but what

2:41

if you're ingesting it all the

2:43

time? Especially since almost one-third of

2:45

our calories are seed oils. This

2:48

product is something that has a very unique weird

2:51

shape to it, it has all these

2:53

holes in it, and apparently it'll absorb

2:55

three times its weight in

2:57

liquid, so it

2:59

basically acts as a super sponge,

3:02

and over 95% of it is GMO. In

3:05

nature when you eat protein, it has a lot

3:07

of things in it, it has vitamins and minerals

3:09

and all sorts of things, so

3:11

when you're eating this thing that's only a

3:14

protein, what happens when you eat

3:17

it, it has to rob nutrients

3:19

from your liver, and

3:21

so this relates to a similar

3:23

product called soy protein isolates, so

3:26

that's number two, that's almost

3:28

the worst protein, but

3:30

I think this textured vegetable

3:33

protein is even lower

3:35

than that, but with this soy protein

3:37

isolates, I mean that's like in like

3:40

cheese, cereal, infant formulas,

3:43

and that too extracts nutrients from

3:45

your liver, from your tissues. In

3:49

practice, there was a diet

3:51

that people went on, it was really popular,

3:53

called ideal protein, and

3:56

the type of protein that they use was

3:58

not ideal, it was this soy protein. protein isolate.

4:00

And I noticed this a high percentage of people

4:02

on that diet had a lot of problems with

4:04

the liver, had a lot of problems with the

4:06

gallbladder. And when you turn a

4:09

soybean into this soy

4:11

protein isolate, the next step is to

4:14

acidify it and then you're adding bleach

4:16

to take the color out and then

4:18

the deodorizers and it is also in

4:20

the category of ultra-processed food. There's

4:22

something else I want to share with you called

4:25

protein poisoning. Another name

4:27

for that would be rabbit starvation. If

4:30

someone is out in the wilderness and

4:32

they consume just rabbit meat, which is

4:34

extremely lean, there's like hardly any fat,

4:37

it's just like pure protein, they can

4:39

get pretty sick, okay? They can start

4:41

developing fatigue, diarrhea,

4:44

and even die. And

4:46

so anytime you're eating just like

4:48

a pure protein powder, realize

4:51

that you're gonna create stress on the

4:53

body, especially if there's not key

4:55

nutrients in there, especially the fat-sible nutrients.

4:57

So when you're eating this just pure

4:59

protein without these other factors, you're gonna

5:01

be extracting and depleting fat-sible

5:04

nutrients. Also when you're using high

5:06

heat with these amino

5:08

acids from soy, you're

5:11

creating toxins as well. And one

5:13

of the toxins has an effect

5:15

on the kidneys where it can

5:17

enlarge the kidney cell itself. That's

5:19

called lisinoalanine. And also there's different

5:23

versions of this processed soy. You

5:25

have something called hydrolyzed soy.

5:28

That's a little bit different. That's a flavor

5:30

enhancer, okay? And what they do with

5:32

that is they take these long protein

5:35

chains and they cut them down so

5:37

they're shorter. And that's used mainly for

5:39

a flavor enhancer. In Asia, they

5:42

consume a lot of soy, but usually

5:44

it's not all GMO, and it's

5:47

fermented.
