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.
