“You were never meant to live sick. But industries found out there’s more profit in managing disease than curing it.” – Mark Twain
A Thread Exposing the Top 10 Lies and Propaganda We’ve Been Sold 🧵
Secret #1: Steak Is the Healthiest Food on the Planet
Steak isn’t the villain.
For decades it’s been smeared as “cancer-causing.” But the truth?
🔹 It's packed with B vitamins that fuel metabolism
🔹 Minerals + fats that power hormones
🔹 Unique nutrients plants can’t provide
The anti-steak narrative came from corrupted studies designed to demonize real food and promote processed junk.
Secret #2: The sun isn’t your enemy.
🔹 Sunlight fuels vitamin D, mood & immunity
🔹 Only extreme overexposure burns → risk
🔹 The real danger? Sunscreens laced with toxic chemicals—linked to cancer while marketed as “protection.”
There are even scientific studies that show that using sunscreen INCREASES your chance of skin cancer...
Secret #3: Eggs were never the enemy.
Your body makes its own cholesterol. Eat more, it just makes less.
Eggs are a superfood: protein, choline, nutrients for brain + hormones.
The “cholesterol fear” was engineered to sell low-fat, processed junk.
Secret #4: Saturated fat does NOT cause heart disease.
🔹 Humans thrived on animal fats for millennia
🔹 The “fat = heart disease” story? Built on ONE false study
🔹 Backed by a $20M bribe that reshaped nutrition guidelines
The real killer is processed food.
Secret #5: The real drivers of heart disease?
Not meat. Not eggs. Not butter.
🔹 Chronic inflammation
🔹 High triglycerides
🔹 Insulin resistance
The tragedy? We were told to swap real foods for carbs + seed oils—the very things that worsen all three.
Secret #6: The food pyramid was never about health.
Schools plastered it everywhere: “base your diet on bread, cereal, pasta.”
Decades later—skyrocketing obesity, diabetes, heart disease.
It wasn’t nutrition. It was marketing for Big Food.
Secret #7: Veganism didn’t start as junk—it became junk.
Corporations saw the trend and pounced.
🔹 Whole foods replaced with cheap “meat” and soy-based fillers
🔹 Lab-grown junk from guys like Bill Gates
🔹 Ultra-processed sludge in a greenwashed package
What was already a nutrient-deficient diet is now a corporate goldmine.
Secret #8: Seed oils are not “heart healthy.”
They’re industrial junk.
🔹 Drive chronic inflammation
🔹 Damage your mitochondria
🔹 Accelerate aging
Once sold as machine lubricant—now marketed as food. The biggest nutrition scam of the century.
Secret #9: Saturated fat is not the enemy—it’s essential.
Demonized for “heart disease,” but in truth it fuels life itself:
🔹 Builds your brain
🔹 Powers hormone production
🔹 Unlocks vitamin absorption
Cut it out, and you cut out human vitality.
Secret #10: “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day” was manufactured, not discovered.
Edward Bernays coined it to boost sales of bacon & sausage.
The science? None.
The result? Generations hooked on sugar bombs, sold as “health.”
The Bottom Line:
We’ve been lied to about food, health, and disease for decades.
The result? America spends more on “healthcare” than any country on Earth—yet our life expectancy is the worst.
It’s not genetics. It’s not bad luck. It’s the system.
