Not all food is real food.

Many everyday staples are engineered with chemicals and fillers.

Here are 4 of the worst ultra-processed factory foods, and why they’re damaging your health:

1/ Doritos 🧵

Strawberries are reported to have the highest pesticide residue among fruits. Washing them may not remove all residues because some chemicals are absorbed into the fruit, so choosing organic when possible can reduce exposure.

5/ Rooster comb—the red crest on a rooster head.

It’s composed of 90% collagen & glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).

It supports:
• Skin
• ⁠Joint & cartilage health
• ⁠Fascia & connective tissues
• ⁠Eye health

It’s so potent that some plastic surgeons use it for skin treatments.

Nattokinase may support:

• Clogged arteries
• Excess clotting
• Circulatory issues

It works by breaking down the protein structures that form clots.

Vitamin K2 complements nattokinase by aiding the removal of excess calcium from arteries.

Some “mass gainer” powders contain 253 grams of maltodextrin per serving, equal to about 60 teaspoons of sugar.

That’s insane.

You’re getting 50 g of protein and over 250 g of sugar.

This is why I don’t get trick-or-treaters anymore…

Breaking news!! Cyrus Parsa , AI whistleblower was found dead with gunshot wound 3 months apart. CCTV was disabled in both cases. Exact same angle of bullet and location. Both are AI whistleblowers. Both expressed concern towards their safety.

Sigh

If we broke up hospital monopolies and allowed catastrophic plans, you wouldn’t be spending near 20%.

The 4% you’re paying isn’t for your Medicare, it’s to prop up a system that is going to soon be insolvent and you will never use in its current form.

I was taking some images on the scanning electron microscope this morning and found this gem - The red blood cell gives a nice perspective of just how tiny stereocilia are! For reference, the magnification of this image of outer hair cell stereocilia is 16,200x
