The Sun Isn’t Dangerous.

Salt Isn’t Bad for You.

Fat Doesn’t Make You Fat.

In a world drowning in health advice, why does rejecting it work so well?

Here’s why almost everything you were told about health is a lie 🧵

1. “Sunlight Causes Cancer” — A Fear Driven Lie

🔹 Imagine there was a pill that could boost your immunity, balance your hormones, lift your mood, strengthen your bones, and extend your life — with zero cost and zero side effects. You’d take it every day. That pill exists. It’s called sunlight. And they told you to fear it.

🔹 Marketed as protection, sunscreen is packed with endocrine disruptors and toxic chemicals that block vitamin D production. This was never about health — it was about profit. They demonized nature to sell you poison.

2. “Salt Raises Blood Pressure” — A Misguided Myth

🔹 They warned salt would destroy your heart, convincing you to strip it from your diet. Yet populations eating high-salt diets for centuries had low rates of hypertension until processed food and sugar entered the picture. The real danger was never salt. It was mineral deficiency.

🔹 While you feared salt, they pushed sugar, seed oils, and processed foods — the true drivers of heart disease. The salt scare wasn’t protection. It was misdirection.

3. “Fat Makes You Fat” — A Nutritional Scam

🔹 Every cell in your body is wrapped in fat. Your brain is mostly fat. Your hormones are built from fat. Yet they convinced you it was making you sick — and told you to swap it for “low-fat” foods loaded with sugar. When fat intake fell, obesity and diabetes exploded. The real danger was never fat. It was sugar.

🔹 The low-fat craze wasn’t health advice — it was a goldmine. By stripping away nature’s fuel and replacing it with cheap carbs from corn, soy, and wheat, they didn’t just change your diet. They created an addiction.

4. “Red Meat Causes Cancer” — A Cherry-Picked Claim

🔹 They lumped grass-fed steak in with hot dogs and deli slices, then told you it would shave years off your life. Yet humans have thrived on meat for thousands of years — long before obesity, diabetes, and heart disease existed. The real danger was never meat. It was the processed junk that replaced it.

🔹 Demonizing meat was never about protecting your health. It was about creating a population hooked on cheap grains and endless supplements — the perfect customers for a system built on dependence.

5. “Breakfast is the Most Important Meal” — A Marketing Slogan

🔹 For most of human history, breakfast didn’t exist. People rose with the sun, worked, hunted, and ate their first meal hours later. Yet somehow, you were convinced that skipping cereal would wreck your health. The real danger wasn’t skipping breakfast. It was eating nonstop.

🔹 The slogan was never science — it was an ad campaign. Cereal companies needed to turn cheap grains into gold, so they told you to start every day with sugar in a box. And you believed them.

6. “Fluoride Protects Your Teeth” — A Chemical Cover Story

🔹 They say it’s for your health. Because of course, they’d put something so good for you into the water supply for free. In reality, most developed countries have banned fluoride in drinking water. What did they see that America refuses to?

🔹 The “tooth protection” story was a marketing spin — a way to dump an industrial waste product without paying to filter it out. Linked to thyroid disruption, lowered IQ, and bone damage at high doses, the real danger was never cavities. It was chronic, compulsory exposure.

7. “The War on Cholesterol” — A Billion-Dollar Deception

🔹 Half the people who die of heart attacks have normal cholesterol. And those with higher cholesterol often live longer, especially as they age. Yet you were told this vital molecule is a ticking time bomb. The real danger was never cholesterol. It was inflammation.

🔹 Cholesterol is the raw material for your hormones, brain function, and cell repair. But instead of addressing diet and lifestyle, they put millions on drugs that deplete it — and created a billion-dollar market for lifelong customers.

8. “You’re Not Sick — You’re Nutrient Deficient” — A Profitable Misdiagnosis

🔹 Ask a coroner the most common thing they find in the bodies of the dead, and it’s not a disease — it’s nutrient deficiency. Yet chronic fatigue, brain fog, and depression are almost never treated with nutrition. Deficiency gets labeled as disease, and symptoms become life sentences.

🔹 There’s no profit in magnesium, sunlight, or clean food. So they medicate symptoms your body is trying to solve with what it never received. You’re not broken — you’re depleted.

The Business of Keeping You Sick

🔹 The pharmaceutical industry isn’t built to cure disease — it’s built to monetize it. Chronic illness is a business model worth over $600 billion a year in the U.S. alone. Real healing ends the revenue stream, so treatments are designed to manage symptoms, not solve them.

🔹 Natural remedies and root-cause approaches are dismissed, discredited, or outlawed — not because they don’t work, but because they can’t be patented. A healthy you is worthless to shareholders. A lifelong patient is worth millions.
