Bernie Sanders names corruption in the food and beverage industries as the primary culprit of our obesity and diabetes epidemics.

“How did it happen that, according to the CDC, the rate of childhood obesity in America has tripled since the 1970s and has gotten so bad that 1 out of every 5 children in our country is now obese?”

“How has it happened that over 40% of adults in the United States today are obese?”

“In my view, the answers to these questions are not very complicated. For decades, Congress and the FDA have allowed large corporations to make huge profits by enticing children and adults to consume ultra-processed food and beverages loaded up with sugar, salt, and saturated fat.”

“There is growing evidence … that these foods are deliberately designed to be addictive, similar to cigarettes and alcohol, and lead to a higher rate of type 2 diabetes.”

“Shockingly, according to a study published in the British Medical Journal, ultra-processed foods make up an incredible 73% of our nation’s food supply.”

“Bottom line: much of the food that we as Americans are now consuming are making us unhealthy and are contributing to the fact that our life expectancy is significantly lower than that of many other wealthy countries.”

“None of this is happening by accident. The food and beverage industry is spending $14 billion a year on advertising to push these unhealthy products into the American consumer.”

“Even worse … $2 billion of this money is spent to directly advertise these unhealthy products to our children in order to get them hooked on these foods at an early age.”

[MAHA PAC🗽 @MAHA_PAC]

“An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.”

Sen. Bernie Sanders opened the hearing by laying out a full picture of the crisis we face: “We have a major obesity epidemic as well as an epidemic in diabetes.”

“They are both directly related and they are getting worse … and the cost of treating these illnesses is staggering.”

“According to the American Diabetes Association, the total cost of diabetes in the United States was nearly $413 billion, up 27% over the past six years.”

“That is an unbelievable and unsustainable amount of money.”

“Some 90% of people with type 2 diabetes are overweight or obese. These two epidemics go hand in hand. The time is long overdue for us to pose some very simple questions.”

If you have a friend who thinks it's fine to eat french fries once a week because they are "healthy" the rest of the time,

Send this to them.

Here are 5 reasons you should NEVER eat fries from a fast food restaurant again:

1. Similar to smoking 25 cigarettes

One study done collected samples of french fries from fast food restaurants and measured the toxin levels.

Ultimately, they found that the reheating of potatoes and vegetable oils leads to an accumulation of these carcinogenic toxins.

Particularly, one large serving of these french fries contains the equivalent amount of aldehyde content as 25 cigarettes.

Additionally, they showed that acrolein, which is one of the most harmful chemicals found in cigarette smoke, is also found in high levels in these french fries.

The WHO states that the maximum daily intake of acrolein should be around 525 micrograms. The study found that many global chain fast food restaurants had french fries containing 1-1.5 milligrams of acrolein, which is 1,000-1,500 micrograms, almost 3x the acceptable amount.

2. It could permanently damage adolescents' brains

A new study reviewed the effects of reheated sesame and mustard seed oil on the first generation of offspring of rats. The reheated oils were used to mimic deep-fried oils often used to cook foods like french fries at fast food restaurants.

These oils lose their antioxidant value and accumulate peroxides, acrylamides, trans fats, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

The study found that the reheated fries caused liver and colon damage in the rats, leading to dysfunctional lipid metabolism.

Ultimately, the amount of DHA (an important omega-3 fatty acid) that the brain needs was significantly reduced, visible through the neurodegeneration found in the female rats' brains and their offspring. French fries are frying our brains.

3. High levels of acrylamide

Acrylamide levels have been found to be much higher in french fries and potato chips compared to other foods.

Acrylamide has been acknowledged by the IARC as a probable carcinogen and has been found to cause cancer in laboratory studies on animals.

One of acrylamide’s metabolites, glycidamide, has been found to form DNA adducts and disrupt nerve function and structure progressively with continued exposure.

It is through the adduct formation of the acrylamide metabolite that leads to neurotoxicity.

Acrylamide can pass the blood-brain barrier, allowing the disruption of our nervous system. It also creates oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and inflammation.

While more studies are needed with appropriate amounts of acrylamide being given to animals (closer to food-borne exposure), one 5-microgram acrylamide treatment done on rats led to increased expression of inflammatory genes.

It is important to note that while a human may not consume 5 milligrams of acrylamide in one sitting like in some of the animal studies, they do within the span of 2 months if they consume fast food french fries once a week. Just something to keep in mind.

4. Increased risk of anxiety

One study critically examined the correlation between high fried food consumption and increased risk for anxiety and depression, attributing these effects to toxic compounds such as acrylamides present in fried foods.

The study emphasized that chronic exposure to these foods can lead to neurotoxicity and dysregulated lipid metabolism, which are significant factors in the development of anxiety and depression.

However, most people believe the only risk they are facing from consuming fried foods like french fries is a little weight gain and acne.

But the impact goes much deeper. Because our body is one functional unit, if you offset your cells, the rest of the body will feel the effects.

5. Damage to multiple organs in the body

Many fast food restaurants use the same oil to fry foods for an entire day, or even as long as a week.

When these oils (particularly seed oils) are continuously reheated, the polyunsaturated fatty acids become oxidized and can form harmful compounds such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and peroxides.

These can generate a lot of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the body.

When we have more ROS accumulated than antioxidants in the body, it can lead to oxidative stress, which is a hallmark of cancer, can damage cells (DNA, mitochondria, etc.), and ultimately organs.

Thanks for reading :) Hopefully hopefully this gave you and your friend some food for thought.

In a just world, this would be a New York Times feature story - the Dave Portnoy Effect.

I randomly came across a Portnoy pizza review and just so happened to be close by. So I made the trip to Ah-Beetz in Delray Beach, Florida. He had given it an 8.4, which is (apparently) an excellent score. 

I don't follow Dave Portnoy. I don't consume Barstool's content, or even relate to the demographic it cultivates. I don't eat much pizza, except with my kids. I don't bet on sports, and generally think adult men who devote excessive hours to watching professional sports are wasting their time.

But, as someone who follows the zeitgeist, I can objectively say Portnoy seems like a very good person:
-> Earned his success; the free market seldom lies
-> Took Cancel Culture head-on and won
-> Raised ~$40 million for small businesses during COVID
-> Called out fake news outlets like Business Insider long before Ackman buried them
-> Personally donated and raised millions for great causes - law enforcement, first responders, animal shelters, etc. - as opposed to having a building named after himself at Harvard.

The pizza at Ah-Beetz is excellent. Very much worth the trip. But more interesting is the Dave Portnoy effect. I asked the owner about the influence he's had on their business. 

When Portnoy's review aired, Ah-Beetz was a single, small shop in a less-than-desirable strip mall not far from I-95, really far from the beach or what is generally considered a nice part of Palm Beach County.

Overnight, there was a two-hour wait, a pop that has never receded (because the food is also great). And now, in less than a year, there are soon-to-be 4 locations and 70+ employees, an expansion that they attribute almost entirely to Portnoy.

Revenue has increased more than 10x, or millions of dollars that are also attributable to Portnoy, for which he has not received/sought any attention or credit. 

Portnoy has completely changed their lives. And this has probably happened countless times all over the country. 

(Also, they said he was exceptionally kind and humble, and 100% sincere.)

This is America.

I heard a U13 select volleyball coach yelling at his team while the parents listened in.

“You all need to take this seriously if you want to play collegiate volleyball. Stop screwing around with other sports. Focus just on volleyball year around.”

The girls were all about 5’3 being sold a lie.

If this sounds familiar, pull your kid from that team asap.

Just watch the @NFL draft. Even the greats played multiple sports.

Life is too short. Play multiple sports.

Why?

Before you know it, it’s all over. Even for those that make it to D1 or pros.

The most common comment I get from alumni that didn’t play football while in high school is “I regret not playing football for you.”

No regrets. Play multiple sports!!

• Doesn't raise hunger
• Helps with metabolism
• Pairs with endless activities
• It becomes a lifelong activity

US adult obesity rate:

1975 - 12%
1985 - 15%
1998 - 25%
2014 - 35%
2024 - 42%.
2031 - 50% (projected)

Concerning numbers. This is a silent pandemic.
