There's no such thing as "junk" food - just junky ways of preparing it.

Here's how to make your favorite "junk foods" at home in just a few minutes, 100% healthy, without sacrificing taste: Image 1. Burgers

Why do we associate burgers with being unhealthy?

Because massive food corporations have hijacked this otherwise healthy food...

And filled it with factory-slaughtered beef, plastic cheese, and soybean oil

It doesn't have to be this way... Image

The food industry is killing you:

> Seed oils are poisonous
> The US food system is toxic
> 6 in 10 Americans live with chronic disease

Here are my 9 top health and lifestyle principles to keep you healthy and strong in the modern world: Image 1. You are what you eat

It sounds cliché...

Bread is not your enemy.

The problem is most of the bread you see in stores is fake trash.

Here are the 6 rules for quality bread that will let you eat all the bread you want, without sacrificing your health: Image Modern bread is in crisis.

It's either a soybean-oil cocktail of trash ingredients (i.e., wonder bread)...

Or a gluten-free flax and pumpkin seed monstrosity.

Both are fake versions...

People are 3x more overweight now than they were in the 1970s...

But the weird thing? Sugar consumption is DOWN 25%.

Sugar-free is a psy-op.

Here is why you SHOULD eat more sugar: Image Now, we know correlation != causation...

But causation REQUIRES correlation (contrapositive, anyone?)

And there is NO correlation between sugar intake and obesity.

Thus, sugar can't have caused the rise in obesity.

The less sugar we eat, the fatter we become.

Maybe...

If you've bought MASA chips, read this: 8 months ago, we made our first bag of MASA chips.

Are you tired of being burnt to a crisp when you're in the sun?

I've tried every tanning technique so you don't have to.

Here are 3 natural ways to get a killer tan guaranteed (even if you have pasty, tan-resistant skin): 1. Early morning sun maxxing

Getting sunlight early in the day primes your body for the more intense UV exposure later in the day.

Red and near-infrared light (the same as in red light therapy) makes your skin more resilient to these damaging late-day wavelengths.

You CAN...

If you want to be fit, beautiful, and healthy...

Carbs are NOT your enemy. You just need to know WHICH ones to eat.

Here's how to carbmaxx the RIGHT way (and why low-carb and keto could kill your health): Anyone paying attention the last 10 years knows:

Carbs are the fashionable mainstream "boogeyman" right now.

They're making you fat and tired, and you should go keto.

(And yet, everyone keeps gaining weight)

Turns out, carbs are just misunderstood.

Why you should hate seed oils if you're a man: 1. Seed oils are estrogenic

They decrease your testosterone load and they increase your production of estrogen (bc cells are under stress).

If you want to maximize your testosterone, cutting seed oils is low hanging fruit that will make you leaner and higher energy (higher T).

"Looks aren't everything".

BS.

Turns out that being beautiful is a key indicator of good health.

Here's why physical beauty means you're more likely to live a healthier, longer, more fruitful life: Image "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

"Beauty is more than skin deep"

"Don't judge a book by it's cover"

Not only are these wrong...

They're outright dangerous for your health and well-being.

Do deep-fried foods give you cancer?

And not because of the seed oils, but because of *acrylamide*-- a potentially toxic substance found in some foods?

What is acrylamide? Is it harmful? Can you avoid it?

Here's the full breakdown: Image The story begins in 2002, when acrylamide was first discovered.

This potentially carcinogenic substance was found in dry-cooked foods--e.g., foods that are fried, roasted, grilled, or baked

Toxic in high doses, it's probably a good idea to minimize your exposure.

How?

Your beloved avocado toast is funding Mexican DRUG CARTELS

Avocado oil is also garbage.

*STOP taking fish oil (bookmark this thread)*

The American Heart Association has spent 20 years recommending Omega-3s for heart health.

Well, I went down a rabbit hole and it turns out....

This is horribly wrong.

Here's why Omega-3s are even worse than seed oils: Image Seed oils are bad. That's clear by now.

But we've all heard the Omega-3 hype:

"Eat more salmon!"
"Take fish oil!"
"Eat flax seeds!"

Big surprise: modern food and medicine got it wrong...again. As did "alternative health"

To understand why, we need to start with seed oils:

Can you guess which food is terrifying to look at...

But will give you beautiful skin, healthy joints, and amazing hair?

The best part? You don't have to eat them.

Here's how to turn one of the ugliest (and cheapest) foods into bone broth, AKA the Magical Elixir of Youth: They may not be nice to look at, but chicken feet are a true "superfood", loaded with:

- collagen (hair, skin, and nails)
- glucosamine and chondroitin (joint health)
- hyaluronic acid (heal wounds and prevent scarring)

Here's how to turn these gnarly talons into a health food:

Vitamin E is an ANTI-oxidant. It is found inside seeds.

In fact, it is considered the primary *fat-soluble* anti-oxidant.

So, seed oils spontaneously oxidize, but the Vitamin E packaged along for the ride counteracts oxidation, stabilizing the PUFAs in the seeds. Because industrial seed oils have all of the PUFA but little of the vitamin E, the balance is thrown off

That's why they give us cancer and obesity while seeds can grow into healthy plants.

So what do we do?

Even worse, they stick around in your body for over 7 years, even if you stop eating them today.
